      I don’t have a problem with black people in advertisements or TV programs as long as it is proportional to the setting.

      But I do have a huge problem with the hypocrites who accused everyone else of racism when blacks didn’t get enough awards or parts. Remember #oscarssowhite being big news ?.
      The reason I became an engineer is because I tend to see the root of a problem directly without being distracted by emotion or what other people say. What I have seen here is a lot of shallow, greedy people who play every trick they can for entirely selfish reasons. Actors are the most shallow and greedy of them all. This particular set have used the race card, but any actor will use any card they can. #metoo is another example of a movement founded in greed. It only started when people discovered Weinstein was making payoffs.
      Then mix in your typical Lefty : a shallow, greedy character who is convinced they are intellectually superior to everyone else. They are too shallow to realise what they are. They then jump on this false ‘racism’ cause to virtue-signal to everyone else and appease their own ego that they are indeed as superior as they think they are. Twitter is an excellent place to see these people who are ‘too stupid to realise they are stupid’.
      I fully support equality and people being treated on their own merits. I judge anyone and everyone how I find them. People get no special favours from me because of their skin colour. But what is happening with the BBC, BLM and the rest is outright racism.

      I feel sorry for the black people in the middle of all this trying to stand up for real equality.

    Let me just reassure everyone. I was in an M&S food store and the shelves were full. Tonight’s 10pm BBC1 news going on about lack of fuel deliveries. They went to a garage that was short of petrol but after several minutes telling us how dreadful everything is, they had at least the grace to admit that a garage two miles away had fuel. So the story was that a garage had run out of fuel. Of course it is the fault of Brexit said Faisal Islam. He also said the drivers were taking their holidays. Mr D pointed out they would not have been overworked during lockdowns when nobody was going anywhere.

    I just watched the Sky Australia documentary “what happened in Wuhan”, and I learned the virus leaked from the Wuhan Lab Around July / August 2019, much earlier than was ever official admitted and certainly by the UK Communist sympathising BMA who appear to be sticking rigidly to the CCP line about when the virus first appeared, which is provably a lie.

    A lot of the evidence has come from intelligence which cannot be declassified, but the Covid 19 virus itself does not occur naturally but the closest one is RaTG13 found in bats believed found in the cave cleared by the workers who became sick and died, but it is spliced with a virus found in pangolins, and although it would be theoretically possible for the two to combine the two viruses cannot infect the other species and therefore cannot naturally come together.
    There is a third modification, the furin cleavage site which makes the virus particularly effective at infecting humans.

    The possibility of this occuring naturally is therefore close to zero.

    What is perhaps worse is the way scientists the media and scientific publications came together to prevent any publication of papers which told the truth about the origins of the virus. They did this partly because of vested interests of people like Peter Daszak who I have written on here previously, Fauci and others, also out of their hatred of Donald Trump and support for the Democrats.
    Basically the Socialists were quite prepared to allow millions of people to die simply because of the hate for Donald Trump.

    We now know that Covid 19 was the product of the Socialist regime in China. Allowed to spread because of Socialist fears of the truth getting out, the WHO controlled by Socialists failed to do the thing it was created to do, and Socialists in the West aided and abetted the spread of the virus, sometimes deliberately and sometimes out of fear.

    Nothing in this world has killed as many people as Socialism has we can now add the numbers who have died from covid to that list and we should be correcting people who say someone died from covid, they actually died from Socialism.

      Far from being the last thing you’d think the idea that this was bio-warfare should be the first rationale behind covid….it may have been leaked deliberately or the Chinese decided to exploit it once it did leak….just look at the world map of infections and see which countries suffered the most….nearly all Western….naturally once it’s out it’s out and impossible to control [and would the Chinese care?….hell no] but you might judge certain countries were definitely targeted.

      Western economies, health services, education and societies have been massively disrupted and undermined….and shortage of money means less to spend on defence and policing the world…ie reining in China…..and the Chinese are laughing as Boris and Co go green and add to the chaos and destruction…..and the lickspittle BBC was pleased to report China will not be building any more coal powerstations….in other countries…..er…what about those new ones it’s building now in China?…apparently enough to power Germany. Just why does the BBC fawn over the Chinese and tell us that they are leading the world in the fight against climate change when it’s just not true?

      • Thoughtful says:

        The bio warfare was covered in the documentary and the intelligence shows the leak was almost certainly accidental, for a number of reasons.

        It’s far too close to the source i.e. the lab where it was made. The first people to be infected worked at the lab and the first city to be infected was Wuhan. If it had been deliberate it would have been expected to have been released away from China where the detection and evidence as to the source would have been much more difficult.

        Having said all that, if a country had dropped a nuclear device over a foreign city, it would not be acceptable for them to claim it was an accident even if all the evidence supported the fact that it was.

        The worst part of all to come out of this is the corruption of science which has become politicised and addicted to government grant money which now makes most scientists Socialist, and they were prepared to lie cheat and defend the indefensible in order to promote that agenda, regardless of the people who died as a direct consequence.

    Wonder if this will gain any traction….course not…..it’s long been obvious Clinton and the Dems were ‘colluding’ with the Russians but has been totally ignored….the Trump Tower meeting with Russian lawyers was set up by the Dems…who worked with the lawyers. The Clinton’s took millions from the Russians and had very lucrative deals with them. The hoax dossier was packed with information that came directly from Russian intelligence…but the Dems hyped it as gospel telling us the Russians were helping Trump….odd way of helping Trump by saying he was their agent!….The BBC, naturally, acted as the Dems’ propaganda mouthpiece and pumped out lie after lie…and even when Mueller, after extensive and detailed investigation, cleared Trump the BBC continued to suggest he was guilty.

    The Democrat’s and Putin’s interests coincided and the Democrats cynically used the shocking lie about Trump colluding to try and steal the Presidency…which they did of course in 2020…

    Sabina Nessa: Murder arrest as police issue CCTV appeal

    How quickly will this story be dropped if the guy charged turns out to be BAME ?.

    Maybe even quicker than Sasha Johnson. But not as quick as the Muslim woman burned to death in the street – because they knew those men were BAME straight away. That horrific murder just got one short article.

    Is Sasha still alive ?. What happened to those who shot her ?. It should very suprising considering the outrage and headlines before they knew the shooters were black. But it isn’t because we all know the BBC is racist.

    This article tells me absolutely nothing about
    the case. I had to use google to discover:

    The dissident New IRA claimed responsibility after McKee’s death and apologized, saying the shooters were aiming at police officers during the riot in April 2019.

    For every article which suits the agenda, like George Floyd, they have a paragraph at the end giving their selected wording for the case context. Why not this one ?.

    Just what is going on with the BBC protecting terrorists these days ?. The only people they call terrorists now are the Far-Right. And they are the only ones not actually terrorists because they don’t have a political cause.

    Another damning indictment of the imbecilic Imbecile in the White House.

    Ted Cruz explains how, under Trump, the US managed to stop the Russians building the Nordstream 2 pipeline.
    Then, as soon as the Imbecile took office, Putin recognised his weakness and resumed construction.

    Nordstream will guarantee huge revenues to Russia in perpetuity, which it will use for its malign purposes against the West. Nordstream will also weaken Europe by giving Russia immense leverage over the continent.
    It’s also very bad news for Ukraine.

    Another fine mess, Biden.

    Are the BBC reporting the story?

    • Ian Rushlow says:

      Maybe. But let’s approach it from a different perspective. Russian gas deliveries to Europe currently go through Ukraine, a country that Russia has difficulties with, which is why they started constructing Nordstream 2 after that little episode in Crimea. NS 2 avoids that route and carries the gas straight to Germany, which is the main market for it. The US are putting pressure on Germany and the EU to block it, partly as they want to deny revenues to Russia and keep money flowing into Ukraine. Now, let’s speculate as to whether any important American family has had business links to the energy market in Ukraine. Oh yes, there’s that Hunter Biden – wonder if he’s related to anyone?

      Take a look at the chart of gas prices on the BBC’s website today (link below). The price per mmBtu is between $24-$28 in most world markets. In the US, the price is only $5. Partly that’s because the US have embraced fracking and have local supplies, but the suspicion is that the markets are being manipulated to give American companies a huge advantage over their international competitors.

      In the longer term, the aim of the globalists is to create artificial shortages in energy, transport, food and medicine. The purpose of this is to maximise prices and profits, according to standard ‘supply and demand’ economics. The excuse being rolled out is global warming (sic), and the chorus for this has hardly even begun. The intention is that this will define just about every aspect of human life. The constant reporting of ‘shortages in everything’ in the British media is preparatory for this.

      So, maybe another fine mess from Biden, or more likely he’s simply acting out the script that other actors have prepared for him.

    Now would have been a good time for the impartial and unbiased BBC to mention the very credible accusations against Luther King including the one where he walked in on a friend raping a woman and encouraged him to do it.

    But they didn’t. Because it’s against their agenda of ‘black man good, white man bad’.

    Steering clear of socialism, fast food and planning future holidays in Britain.

    All in conclusion to another sideways review of today’s news…

    The BBC tackles: ‘Covid: How can missing five million be persuaded to have the jab?

    I’m already half expecting the Monty Python team to run on set declaring “No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

    Apparently discussion around this illness has departed the realms of science and medicine and become instead: ‘The Covid debate‘ which is odd since all our political parties have remained pretty much in agreement – give or take a little Captain Hindsight grumbling from the opposition benches – at all stages of our government’s evolving policies.

    Herd immunity used to be a thing but it seems having now protected both the NHS and the elderly (in that order of priority), we’re going for something closer to total vaccination. Dare one term it a totalitarian approach?

    a… group is of real concern among scientists and politicians – the five million or so adults yet to have a first dose‘ (BBC)

    Whiskas the cat food brand were content for 8 out of 10 owners to say their cats preferred it. But the government is fretting about the unvaxed: ‘five million people aged 16 and over in England (11%)

    Speaking of the elderly: ‘Many happy returns as record number hit 100. More people turned 100 years old in 2020 than in any other year in British history, figures show‘ (Telegraph) – despite covid?

    So how do you convince someone to have the vaccine?‘ (BBC)

    Did you know government experts reckon we all have a ‘Trigger‘?

    And I’m not refering to us all having a mate down the pub who’s a bit slow on the uptake – that was Del and Rodney Trotters’ pal Trigger.

    Identifying a person’s “trigger” motivation is seen as a highly effective way of tackling vaccine scepticism or indifference.‘ (BBC)

    Suddenly I feel that rather than bothering to properly examinine the virus in their Petri dish the experts instead have us plebs under their microscope

    Why might we be sceptical or indifferent?

    What’s in the news today? ‘Brave face. Linda Evangelista has described how she was “premanently deformed” five years ago by a procedure that claimed to treat “fat bulges”… she became a recluse and is now suing Zeltiq the company responsible‘ – of course there’s no possible equivalence here with the covid jabs. There’s no way anyone is going to be adversely affected and end up in court claiming damages: ‘Coronavirus vaccine: Pfizer given protection from legal action by UK government. The UK government has granted pharmaceutical giant Pfizer a legal indemnity protecting it from being sued‘ (Independent December 2020)

    There’s no way the so-called experts give us any mixed messaging – they’re all singing from the same hymn sheet – on this one at least.

    Paracetamol warning for pregnant women, Pregnant women should try not to take paracetamol because it increases the risk of the child developing health problems in later life, experts say‘ (Telegraph)

    Meanwhile…

    BBC: ‘Covid-19 vaccination offered to pregnant women in Norwich‘ – no jokes about Norfolk folk please… How do you tell if a clock is from Norfolk? It’s hands have an extra finger. I hear a cue like Norfolk and I’m sorry but I’m triggered.

    So what’s with our ‘triggers’?

    BBC: ‘“This can be a wide range of things,” says cognitive psychologist Stephan Lewandowsky, from Bristol University’

    Here we go…

    ‘Research suggests reminding people of the common good – protecting a grandparent or parent – helps them realise “they have a social responsibility – and they may be more willing”. “Some can’t be bothered – but if it’s around the corner and you give them a free hotdog, like in Germany, then that can be really successful.”

    Amelia says her trigger would be not being able to go on holiday without having had a vaccine.

    So if you do happen to be vax-avoidance minded – you might be inclined to steer clear of socialism, fast food and plan in future to take all your holidays in Britain.

      Tom Harwood tweeted recently that 47% of black people had either had or not had the jab that is near enough half. That means that the virus is probably circulating most in black communities increasing the risk of changing. Had it not been for the delta variant we might have returned to normality sooner.

      The other group of people refusing the jab are carers and NHS workers. If you in hospital for something else and catch covid from a member of staff, it might not do much for your prognosis, or if old and infirm sitting in an overheated small room, catching the bug from a care worker might not do you much good.

      Since the Gender Recognition Act (2004) came into force, 4,910 trans people have been issued a Gender Recognition Certificate. 12% of trans respondents to the National LGBT survey who had started or completed their transition had successfully obtained one, and 7% of those who knew about them but did not have or had not applied for one said they would not be interested in obtaining one.

      Less than 5,000 people in the past 17 years. The figures for sex reassignment are even more vanishingly small. The ‘trans debate’ isn’t even a debate, it’s a pointless irrelevance.

    Shortages ? blame the MSM and social media. No point in telling the public ‘don’t panic’ – ‘shop as normal’ – ‘don’t fill up when not necessary’. Because the opposite will happen, we all know that. Those that do shop normally will be outweighed by those that load up the trolleys.

    During the War everyone formed orderly queues when a few bananas and oranges were in the shops, but can you imagine the real chaos that would have happened if Adam Bolton, Ben Brown et al were whipping up the hysteria about Hitler gradually heading towards the Channel.

    Americas self destructive Jews look like they are going to be richley rewarded for supporting the Socialist (Nazi) Democrats as Bidens party has withdrawn $1 billion of funding for the Iron Dome anti Iranian missile defence system.

    This is not in any way an offensive weapon, purely a defensive one which has saved hundreds if not thousands of Jewish lives from Iranian funded and sometime made rockets and drones.

    However what’s a few thousand Jewish lives as long as you can go down the synagogue in California and preach your social virtues to other stupid Jews who will perhaps only realise what is going on when they’ve been rounded up into cattle trucks.

    These things never ever start with a big bang, they always start small and snowball from there, it is clear that even with events as cataclysmic as the holocaust, some Jews have not only failed to learn the lessons, but appear determined to repeat them !

    I have been doing my GBN catch up and on Farage last night he talked pints with Alex Deane who was a the chief of staff to Cameron before he became PM , I am unsure if he has any influence within the Tory party any longer. But the interesting thing is that he said in his view the BBC should be dismantled not reformed because it was beyond being reformable. He added that he thought the present government was more strongly anti BBC than any previous one and could well clip its wings although it was unlikely to go the whole hog and abolish the foul corporation.
    Whilst I favour the abolition followed by obliteration of the BBC I would settle for it being forced to become a subscription only service.
    Does the TINO Government have the guts to take on the BBC ? I doubt it but the hopes never completely die!

    #1 The Police guy explained how he himself posed as a money launderer looking for such students. He put up posters around the campus inviting students to come to his stall in the Student Union

    #2 They played a clip of a “student” who fell for it : Patrick a PhD
    … Yeh but Patrick sounds like he just stepped off the boat from Africa.

    Belfield has a video about “refugees” being housed in the huge Grand Hotel in Scarborough .. https://youtu.be/T43stSjKqsQ
    It seems the top 2 floors are given over to them
    but their kids are running around breaking the lifts & disturbing the lobby.

    OK the government’s policy is to accept them and house them in hotels, and that they are supposed to be in some kind of quarantine, cos of Covid.
    It’s hardly surprising a seaside hotel would accept such government contracts.
    But what is surprising is that they would mix quarantining migrants with British holidaymakers.
    The guy said the migrants had security guards with them, to make sure they didn’t leave the hotel.
    Surely it would not be difficult to set up those 2 floors as isolated ?
    By say setting up one lift to only stop at those floors and a separate entrance say in the basement or at the back.

      I just kind of get the idea that there could be some sort of compromise between the two systems. Perhaps one where we turn a blind eye to non-conventional activities that don’t harm other people, and certainly don’t glorify, encourage or promote them in any way. Just a thought.

    A couple of days ago I suggested spraying them with a muck spreader to get them to move.
    Nothing the government is doing is having much effect and the Courts are just releasing them to return to the sit downs.

    Maybe if they used my idea it would put them off because I would think they wouldn’t be too keen to go out playing on the motorways if they ended up being covered in shite.

    Interesting to hear Biden’s Afghan decision being whitewashed this morning on Today….and Boris getting the blame….lol….as if he had any choice in the matter.

    Nick Robinson also informed us that he had absolutely no problem with Biden interfering in NI and our domestic politics…nor indeed for the IRA to have a veto over Brexit as apparently ‘Brexit poses a threat to the NI peace process’.

    Hmmmm….no….actually it’s the murderous terrorists of the IRA who pose a threat to peace and the normal process of British politics.

    Good though that Robinson thinks Brexit is the problem and is perfectly OK with the EU’s terrorist militia having the deciding vote…but then Robinson also thinks the Jews are the problem and not the Muslim terrorists of Hamas as he denounced the existence of the ‘world’s worst and biggest open prison’…Gaza….never mind Israel decamped from there years ago.

    Think the real problem is people like Robinson who peddle lies, dangerous misinformaton and toxic messaging instead of sticking to the news.

    Pitifully low sentencing in my hometown, where a girl lured her ex boyfriend to the woods where she had paid two feral scumbags to stab him out of money given to her as Christmas presents (I believe it was in the region of £140)

    Everyone here in Reading knows their names, but are foridden to divulge them.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-58666322

    Three teenagers who killed a 13-year-old boy over a social media row have been sentenced to custody in young offenders institutions.

    A girl lured Olly Stephens to a field in Reading, Berkshire, where two boys lying in wait stabbed him to death.

    The boys, aged 14, were found guilty of murder following a trial at Reading Crown Court. One was sentenced to 13 years and the other to 12 years.

    The girl, 14, admitted manslaughter and was given three years and two months.

    None of them can be identified for legal reasons.

    Judge Heather Norton told the three teenagers: “Whatever part each of you played – great or small – what you did that day was utterly cruel and totally pointless.

    “You have taken one life, damaged your own futures and you have caused so much pain to so many people.

    “The effects of what you did will stay with you and with Olly’s family forever.”

    The judge added that the sentences would seem “unbearably short” to Olly’s family, but “unbearably long” for the defendants.

    Olly’s killers believed he “grassed” on them to the brother of a boy they had mocked in a social media group chat, the trial heard.

    Voice notes and text messages were presented to the jury in which the boys talked about taking revenge.

    “He’s actually getting banged when I see him,” one message said.

    Another added: “I actually hate the kid with a passion, like if I was to see him right now I’ll probably end up killing him or something.”
