The Saudi–Yemen barrier (Arabic: الجدار السعودي اليمني) is a physical barrier constructed by Saudi Arabia along part of its 1,800-kilometer (1,100 mi) border with Yemen. It is a structure made of pipeline three metres (10 ft) high filled with concrete, acting as a “security barrier along sections of the now fully demarcated border with Yemen”[1][2] and fitted with electronic detection equipment.[3]

After reading the attack on Dorries I am even more attached to her.
Sadly, as I have mentioned here before, inside the Government she is likely to be Pritied. This is a version of the ‘better pissing outside of the tent’ argument. You bring someone whose views you reject into the Government not leave them outside, pissing in. Then, deny them support, and allow the civil servants to destroy their attempts to carry out their policies. That is being Pritied
Stew, the New Humanist states that teen pregnancy in the USA, despite ‘abstinence only’ health programmes ‘booming’ is the highest rate in the developed world. I guess the New Humanists are overlooking the fact that in some US States it is legal to get married in the mid-teens. Highest rate of teen pregnancy is not so remarkable in the US maybe after all.
I might pay to watch the BBC following the journey and identifying the smugglers and how much they charge…
I assume the struggling Iranian lives in a cardboard box on the wasteland outskirts of Calais while the BBC team have a fully expensed lifstyle with a well appointed staff house with a housekeeper in one of the better parts of town ?
Will he get a diversity job with the BBC at the end of his ‘journey ‘?
Will he then spend his time rubbishing the country giving him a life ?
Will he be a professional race industry victim ?
Whereas, to everyone who matters in America from government to media to the phony-baloney “refugee” rackets of the mainline churches, the only “crisis” is that we have not devoted sufficient resources to fast-tracking these Undocumented-Americans into public accommodation so that they don’t pile up under the highway and embarrass the regime on TV.
It is a literal Camp of the Saints – except, of course, it would be totally racist to mention that. So nobody does.
Watched a Guido clip there of a beeboid, Richard Sharpe, answering (or rather) avoiding unpleasant questions about Brammar to the select committee.
This gent brought an even sharper focus to the sheer arrogance of these people.
He was asked what investigation was or is underway to find the source of the leak of Robbie Gibb,s question about the suitability of Ms Brammar.
His question was leaked to the FT.
Mr Sharpe seemed unmoved by the observation that a non executive director,s actions i.e. identifying a concern to the Board
should be leaked in such a way.
I hope Ms Dorries follow this up with Sharpe and Mr Tim Davie
until the source of the leak is identified and the leaker and its management fired.
In confirmation of what I said to you in private, I want to tender my resignation from the BBC, and should be much obliged if you would forward this to the proper quarter.
I believe that in speaking to you I made my reasons clear but I should like to put them on paper lest there should be any mistake. I am not leaving because of any disagreement with BBC policy and still less on account of any kind of grievance. On the contrary I feel that throughout my association with the BBC I have been treated with the greatest generosity and allowed very great latitude. On no occasion have I been compelled to say on the air anything that I would not have said as a private individual. And I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you personally for the very understanding and generous attitude you have always shown towards my work.
I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present.
I do not know how much notice of resignation I am supposed to give. The ‘Observer’ have again raised the project of my going to North Africa. This has to be approved by the War Office and may well fall through again, but I mention it in case I should have to leave at shorter notice than would otherwise be the case. I will in any case see to it that the programmes are arranged for some time ahead.
The American family, as that term has been understood throughout the republic’s history, is dying: The United States has the highest percentage of children living in single-parent households on the planet – twenty-three per cent, against fifteen per cent in Canada, five per cent in Israel, three per cent in China.
If that’s all getting a bit statistical for innumerate millennials, look at it this way: There’ll be no Eighties rock on the oldies station because the Haitians don’t dig it. Culturally speaking, when you lose your future, you also lose your past.
What’s more notable are the other proposals, especially on reforming deselection rules and taking more control over the conference agenda to the leadership. The Corbyn counter-revolution in full flow.
Catching up : Monday BBC local news
Plod saw 2 boxes at Lincoln Castle and assumed they were bombs, so blew them up.
.. The boxes were just leaflets.
Yet again Hull MP Diana Johnson was on
tutting at an area plagued by a down-and-outs hostel
she wants it moved.. This is second item in a few weeks with her about the issue.
Diane Johnson, a southern lawyer, parachuted into a safe seat in North Hull, as a replacement for Kevin McNamara, should learn her history of Hull. Prescott Towers the home of two jags and his wife, was once owned by the Salvation Army and run as a hostel for the aforesaid down and outs.
Also, whilst watching the Chelsea Flower Show, this afternoon on the BBC I noticed a paucity of male presenters, however there was no shortage of ourex colonial brethren. There was even an Antiques Roadshow moment, the segment Chelsea Clinic asking for questions to be answered by some bimbo I’ve never seen, lo and behold pan right to a group of muslims, the elder of whom looked to be totally gaga, got to ask about tomatoes, it’s called a flower show ffs.
ITV local news
: Bridlington plague of dead seabirds ..maybe poisoing, climate change mentioned.
: Sheffield BAME women’s walking group
(they’ve been on before)
Had a great day yesterday filming with Sheffield Environmental Movement about how inclusive our countryside is. We spent the day with a lovely group of African Caribbean women telling us of their stories of discovering nature later in life. #inclusivity#sheffield#countryside 🏞️ pic.twitter.com/jgryJcYDRs
BBC local news did a report on the Bempton dead birds
the BBC journo is a climate cultist so kept shouting climate change
and then ended by saying the best guess is “poisoning”.
BBC London News: School kids getting the vaccine – we see several of them, all Asian. The headmistress is Asian too and she says she is pleasantly surprised by the uptake because her pupils are – get this – “predominantly from an ethnic minority background.”
So, predominant in their own neck of the woods, and billions more worldwide, but still a minority.
Here’s diplomat Angus Lapsley being terribly apolitical again, ‘liking’ a suggestion of a ‘structured coop deal on foreign & security policy’ with the EU.

#PRasNews : Radio Lincolnshire news bulletins on Tuesday morning opened with a massive dollop of Electric Car PR as news
#1 Item introduced Climate-Change Crisis
#2 Opens up as PR as news for EV charging points from Midlands-Connect
segueing to council guy promoting their 8 new chargers.
8am news “I’m Cathy Green
“Experts say we are facing a Climate-Change Crisis
but there is a warning that Lincolnshire’s not moving quickly enough to cut emissions
.. (Tosh who says that ?, you are just promoting some NGO’s report) A new report out this morning says there’s nowhere near enough electric charge points being set up in our county
Midlands Connect say in Lincoln they need to be installed 6 times as quickly to keep up with demand.
Paul Butlers is from the transport body , he says the number of electric cars in the city is expected to go up by 4,000% by the end of the decade.”
(That looks like the fallacy of something which practically nothing increasing by bit can be reported as a massive percentage)
BTW The entire PDF doesn’t mention Lincoln, Lincolnshire
It says now the entire Midlands has 45K EVs and projects 1,770K by the end of the decade, and that is 39 times more so the growth would be 3,800%
Also phrased as 0.7% of cars being EV now and them 28.4% then
I got it ..in another clip Paul Bulters makes the claim)
Clip PB “It means that the infrastructure, needs to keep pace with that.
Cos otherwise you’re gonna see people having to re-route, or kinda of start worrying about the kind of battery range of EV cars, even though most people ,when we spoke to residents in Lincoln are quite keen to make the shift.”
Segueing into promoting the Council’s 8 new charge points
Newsreader “You probably have spotted more charging points popping up though.
In fact 8 new ones have just been installed by the City Council in Lincoln.
Councillor Bob Bushell says they wanted everyone to benefit
Bushell “We tried to give a spread across the city area, so they are accessible to most of the residents
So we have tried to put some uphill, some in the middle, the central and some down the south end of the city.
Clearly we want them to be accessible to all residents” https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2021/09/where-to-find-the-eight-new-electric-car-charging-points-in-lincoln/
Newsreader “Well the Climate Crisis will be top of the agenda, when Boris meets President Biden later
The PM says that the UK’s relations with the US are as good as they’ve been for decades “(ha ha)
That was the first 120 seconds of the 225 second news bulletin before they moved on to actual news.
…. “Now the shortage of CO2”
Very finely crafted but they did even mor eby including different details in each bulletin
7am clip was of Maria Machancoses, Transport Connect CEO
and different Bushell clip
“Every new home in England will have to have its own charging point”
6am similar but 60 seconds long
9am We are way off track when it comes to the number of electric car charging points needed in Lincolnshire
A new report suggests 7 out of 10* of us are keen to make the switch , but are being put off by the idea we’ll conk out before being able to get to a plug
Paul Butlers is from the transport body”
* In the full PDF I find no such claim)
Paul Bultlers “We expect the growth to go up by about 4,000% so the chargers need to keep pace with that”
.. segment ended after only 40 seconds
So #1 It was never explained who Midlands Connect are .
It’s the joint transport committee for a whole group of councils who make up a region.
They are known for promoting HS2 trainline
#2 This councils regional transport committee want more taxpayer money spent on Electric charging points
#3 They produced a report
and #4 BBC Radio Lincolnshire dedicated the first half of each news bulletin to promoting it )
#5 No counter voices were heard
#6 There was no questioning of the report’s claims
This is taxpayers’ money. The media should be questioning if it is being spent wisely
eg there is non-car-owning granny going everywhere by bike
and someone wants to take some of her tax money and use it to SUBSIDISE rich people who buy electric-cars etc.
eg there are ppl who believe UK CO2 is not an urgent problem
and that in 40 years time we’ll have low CO2 energy without throwing subsidies at it.

MM, the Saudi border with Yemen is in the south of SA not in the north with Iraq.
Just showing borders can work! Oh well….
Those northern border defences for SA were pretty much essential back when Saddam Hussein was on the go. 😉

Dear Mr Rushbrooke-Williams,
In confirmation of what I said to you in private, I want to tender my resignation from the BBC, and should be much obliged if you would forward this to the proper quarter.
I believe that in speaking to you I made my reasons clear but I should like to put them on paper lest there should be any mistake. I am not leaving because of any disagreement with BBC policy and still less on account of any kind of grievance. On the contrary I feel that throughout my association with the BBC I have been treated with the greatest generosity and allowed very great latitude. On no occasion have I been compelled to say on the air anything that I would not have said as a private individual. And I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you personally for the very understanding and generous attitude you have always shown towards my work.
I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present.

Black Lives Matter… – oh yeah?
I know one mustn’t judge a book by its cover but this dude … will probably be on CNN protesting he’s being victimised by whiteys?
FakeNews, cos the people posting the claim omit the context the case was back in 2016
“He was found guilty of reckless endangerment, not guilty of all other charges.
