Soon to be ~ Dr Black and the pimped up tardis, 007 black whatever.and the 1950s Darling Buds of black, the only reason I can see for the plethora of blacks everywhere in the media (13% of our population) is either our continents have shifted or they riot and loot until they get their way. and, like the middle east it takes a saddam hussain to control vicious humans and similar in africa
Boris just appeases
last time I buy a bloody sofa Ill make one myself, it seems one has to have a black husband or wife to get one nowadays
of that 13% how many in interracial marriages? 1 % or so ? on TV at lesat 30% and the media never lies and you can trust the bbc of course we are told all the time
Several big brands have been labelled “racist” recently after releasing adverts which have backfired.
H&M apologised in January for showing a black child modelling a hoodie which had “coolest monkey in the jungle” on the front, following a huge backlash.
Dove soap said sorry a few months earlier for releasing a series of images that appeared to show a black woman turning into a white person.
And Chance the Rapper has labelled an advert for Heineken’s low calorie beer “terribly racist” – claiming that brands are “purposely putting out noticeably racist ads so they can get more views”.
But is there any truth in his claim?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-43554424
Zephir,
It will obviously be a bit more now but the 2011 census put the total number of Black or Black British and also British Mixed, which we’ll take as meaning having a black parent, at only around 5% of our population, not 13%.
While the White population was just over 86% the vast majority of the remaining 13% are Asian not “Black”. And of course Asian doesn’t just mean Pakistanis or Indians, it includes the likes of Chinese, Malaysians, and Philippinos, the people that we used to mean when we used the term “Asian”. Chinese Lives Matter anyone?
Of course the numbers and percentages for non-White British will have risen over the past ten years, that’s obvious, but they are nowhere near the levels that our media suggest and would have us believe.
The British Isles are overwhelmingly inhabited by White British. The disproportionate representation of Blacks especially in the media, on television, in politics, and especially in advertising is simply wrong. It does not reflect Britain as a whole and we all know it. The same could of course be said about the disproportionate number of broadcasters and journalists from South East Asian backgrounds, especially women and especially it seems, for some unknown reason, in sport.
I agree with everything you have said, the true figure of 5% simply makes your points you’re making even more valid in my opinion.
As for inter-ethnic marriages or relationships in the UK in 2011? Or course again these figures will have increased but the census suggests that around 9% of couples in 2011 were inter-ethnic, not necessarily meaning that one of them was black, but only 4% of Whites were in a relationship or married to someone of another ethnicity. That’s not the impression we’re given is it?
https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/national-and-regional-populations/population-of-england-and-wales/latest
1. Main facts and figures
according to the 2011 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 56.1 million, and 86.0% of the population was White
people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (at 7.5%), followed by Black ethnic groups (at 3.3%), Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups (at 2.2%) and Other ethnic groups (at 1.0%)
among the specific ethnic groups, people from the White British ethnic group made up the largest percentage of the population (at 80.5%), followed by Other White (4.4%) and Indian (2.5%)
from 2001 to 2011, the percentage of the population of England and Wales that was White British decreased from 87.4% to 80.5%, while the Other White group saw the largest increase in their share of the population, from 2.6% to 4.4%
the percentage of the population from a Black African background doubled from 0.9% in 2001 to 1.8% in 2011
Not on bloody sofa adverts, they are thriving, all with a white wife for some bizarre reason
Baby names: Is Muhammad the most popular?
By Jennifer Meierhans & Rob England
BBC News
Published26 September 2018
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45638806
Variations included Muhammad, Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamad, Muhamed, Mohamud, Mohummad, Mohummed, Mouhamed, Mohammod and Mouhamad.
However the ONS treats each spelling of a name separately and ranks them according to the number of times that individual spelling appears on birth certificates.
If we combine 14 different spellings included in the data we get 7,307 boys, which is more than 1,000 ahead of Oliver.
How the BBC get around their 100% approved presenter content and guidelines
…. A BBC statement said: “Gary is a freelance broadcaster and this is a personal Twitter account.” {bbc.co.uk oct2016}
“The treatment by some towards these young refugees is hideously racist and utterly heartless. What’s happening to our country?”
“Wonder what makes some people feel, by sheer good fortune of place of birth, superior to others. I need a lie down.”
“Thank you for a massive amount of support on here. Proof that the vast majority of people in this country are decent, caring human beings.”
Earlier this week, a Tory MP called for child migrants arriving in the UK from Calais to have their teeth tested to verify their age.
That suggestion was condemned by dentists, with the British Dental Association saying it was unethical.
… seven months later, after Gary ‘£1.75m wages paid under threat of prison’ Lineker comments …
Three quarters of ‘suspicious’ child migrants in Sweden turned out to be over 18, tests on their teeth and knees prove {01jun2017}
And the insidious “stupid white man” vs sensible black man adverts is seriously pissing me off, message to all ad agencies: have a look at university challenge or pop off to Brixton or Hackney on a saturday night to observe, and if you are a white famale…..(BTW they call you white meat, how charming, maybe you could reference that in your next sofa ad)
A bus has just driven past with an advert for the James Bond film No Time To Die on the side.
The only character illustrated, a woman of colour with a big gun, naturally, exactly what comes to mind when thinking of Bond.
Are we people of no colour ? nope, no way, we are labelled white, so they are black n’est ce pas ?
Words will be spoken in BBC Getty booking.
Actually the image is
“Mother multi-tasking with infant daughter in home office – stock photo” from Momo Productions
tag “Indian Subcontinent Ethnicity Photos”
It doesn’t say they specialise in non-white photos
but I don’t see many whites
I don’t think this is being well publicised. Perhaps it lies somewhere on the bBC webshite (?)

Inside Plan B: government quietly revives mandatory Covid passports plan
On 27 September the government published a new ‘consultation’ which asks for responses by 11 October.
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposal-for-mandatory-covid-certification-in-a-plan-b-scenario-call-for-evidence/proposal-for-mandatory-covid-certification-in-a-plan-b-scenario-call-for-evidence
Put succinctly – Plan B is Plan A.
We all know worldwide vaccination with associated vaccine passports is the globalist plan as put forward by e.g. Blair.
Furlough scheme ends with almost 1 million left in limbo
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58735299
‘Many forecasters, including the Bank of England, are expecting a small rise in unemployment as the UK scheme ends.’
A big rise in unemployment and a huge rise in inflation is my prediction.
And a bucketful of other nasty consequences none of these experts are predicting.
But that’s just what my instincts are telling me. I hope I’m wrong.
Nobody wants to go back to work …. universal credit trial has ended.
You mean Universal Basic Income trial, I guess.

Now he has moved on to more generic BS.
Well Vine won’t be the one getting a smack in the gub will he?
More’s the pity.
There’s a whole generation now of emasculated young men and angry, gobby young women who just aren’t held responsible or accountable for their words or actions in the way in which the generations before them were. They don’t seem to realise that safe-spaces don’t exist outside their closeted wee worlds. They just don’t think before they open their mouths, their ignorance often exploited by bBbc media morons like Vine and Nolan, agitators eager to give them a platform and goad them on, safe themselves from any repercussions.
They seem to think that self-righteousness, aggressive argument and attempting to arrogantly enforce their views and opinions on people who do not necessarily agree with them and might ask “what the f#%k has it got to do with you” could well result in them suffering some sort of physical harm.
Still, keep those borders open and they’ll learn soon enough, especially, I’m sad to say, young women like Storm.
Bad police/media-folks/doctors
often have a God-complex ..they think they are God
That is a structural problem
You need o recruit strong minded & weed out or control the divas.
There are some in this country who are recenty arrivals or whos parents are of the same, many just get on with life, but some, a few, but are very vocal. look to the past at past misdeeds which we all appreciate were wrong but demand we apologise and carry on demanding.and even worse demand we change our culture and laws to suite them for their childrens education as an example.
FFS look to the country you ran away from and save your hatred for that, you did not have the love of your country to fight for it rather run away and the EEC and Blair has given you plenty of happy rich paki lawyers to help
Us against them in their minds, a walk through Bury Park Road in Luton will inform, and two guys kissing would start a riot rather then british general disapproval
The next bout of conscription will sort out much of this. Dual passport holders grow from no passport holders – quickly.
Why are the msm going on about comrade Starmer’s 90 minute speech to the comrades at the Ingsoc rally. It being so long was their take.
If you removed the stage managed applause after every sentence the 90 minutes would be reduced to about 10-15 minutes.
A few words, a pause and then the applause. Lots of no speech in there.
Then there’s the 2 minutes of hate for the Tory scum by comrade Rayner.
Strange thing is that there’s little difference between the two left wing parties now with comrade Carrie leading Boris ever further to the woke green left.
On bbbc newcastle this morning their headline was ‘woman says she was told she would have died of covid if she had not been jabbed twice’
When they played her version she says ‘the doctor said if she had not been jabbed twice it may have been different’
Not quite the same but it’s their headline which sticks.
BBC1 is running trailers for Blankety Blank
.. Is that world class telly ?
Is it a public service ?
Like most BBC “light entertainment” Blankety Blank seems to be yet another gravy train for the usual BBC luvvy brigade. There must be some very powerful agents sniffing around the BBC all the time for “placements”.
It’s just yet another low-brow forum to give the “BBC blessed’ more pocket money while pretending to be popular screen time with Joe Public who actually have to pay for it.
Rashford’s Real Bosses Behind His Political Activism
by Mahyar Tousi 29 Sept 2021
Rashford claims he does all his own tweets
but after first putting out a tweet in Rashford’s name
the PR manager then put out a correction tweet, but accidentally did it from his PR company account rather than the Rashford account.
Having being caught out, he deleted his entire PR company account.

Rashford acknowledging he gets close support from the PR guys
people kinda knew since 2019
There’s also a Gary neville thread

“They’ve all got these comms managers , that are creating personalities that don’t exist !”
I thought monkey emjoi were the most dispicable form of racism imaginable ?.
At least they were when they were the best the BBC had after the football to use in their pre-planned ‘white people are racist’ campaign. Which turned into a complete hypocritical farce.
Ah, you mean the “correction” tweet from the agent/Rashford’s account used a monkey emoji.
Next it will be the accusation that white PR people tweeting on behalf of blacks is RACIST
… I don’t know if the PR people are all white, and some said that Rashford’s brother was behind some PR tweets.
He is actually one of the 4 people at that DN May Sport

OT, but media moves shares a crucial lead from the BBC same sex partner FT.
‘As a cisgender man, I can’t pontificate on the safety of women – but trans women are women, and they need to be protected’ – our latest accessmatters session was with the Financial Times’ Proud FT chair Cassius Naylor, who gave advice on how to be better allies to transgender and nonbinary colleagues and audiences. Find out more here.

Await the full bbc platform system being mobilised.
Transwomen are men who want to be women. Sadly for them, no matter how much surgery they have (or do not have) this can never be.
Hint to Sir Keir Starmer: women have cervixes.
it must be the fault of social media that I have never seen such a bunch of ill educated misinfomed rabble attacking a democratically elected government with such a majority and getting away with it Thatcher had her faults but never has strong leadership been needed more than now with idiots blocking the m25 whenevetr they feel like it
The WHOLE OF THE COUNTRY wnats to stop them but the poxy police cannot
They cannot control our borders they cannot ensure our roads run they cannot provide fuel for cars
He is too desperate to be the nice guy, that is not what is needed now or ever, Churchill ? ha ha never he made decisions that worked despite the strife it caused
Boris would probably be requesting Hitler send carbon neutral bombs and dolphin friendy V2 rockets
BBC has just made the lead news as Britney Spears father losing his ‘conservatorship’ – um, is anybody bloody bothered in this country ? from the news coverage outside the court house in LA there’s about a dozen adult fan worshippers hugging and crying, – it makes you wonder where our world is headed when such ‘news’ is reported as the main item. This pop star is clearly mentally flaky, and has been from an early age so her fortune needed protecting – so I understand. However, I won’t be losing any sleep.
You should listen to Elaine Page to get an insight into how these luvvies think.
They think showbusiness is the most important thing in the world and that the whole country spends all their time following who won what award and what show is on where.
The BBC live in their own little metropolitan London bubble. Graham Norton once described the sets of friends he thinks everybody has and one set was ‘the theatre friends’.
It’s worse than that.
Radio 4 has had Pieces of Britney recently, extensively trailed on Radio 4 Extra in its half-hourly advertising slots.
Radio 4’s audience must have changed a lot if the BBC thinks they are bothered about a Pop Princess and weird American legal ideas like ‘conservatorships’.

Is that the ABBA ?
Zeph, – no one quite like our Dusty. Back in the 60’s amidst all the groups (who could actually play their instruments as opposed to the ridiculously called “Boy” bands of later years), there was a plethora of female singers for us to choose our favourites from – on both sides of the Atlantic, Dusty, Barbra, Aretha, Diana, Cilla, Sandie, Jackie Trent etc etc – and yes we had our iffy ones too, (Lulu, Twinkle, Mary H,) Helen Shapiro went into Gospel and Jazz.
Compare this to a couple of decades later when there was only Kylie and Robbie , and if you didn’t like their music you were stuffed. So Britney Spears filled a gap for the pop starved kids in the U.S – who seems to revere their country stars much more.
Agreed!
Just been listening to Carole King again, and just marvelling at such a fantastic voice!
Also listening to Carly Simon, another fabulous voice, and by coincidence, Senora O’Blene has been singing ‘Island of dreams’ by The Springfields all day!
Here, any song – often a product of a dusky nature, which starts off with a wailing ‘Hmmmm hmmmmmmmm’ etc., immediately gets switched off. It also allows me to never listen to all of ‘The great gig in the sky’ by Pink Floyd, although I like the general bit before they spoil it in the end.
The band thought it was a great finish, but I don’t…
TOADY Watch #1 – oh woe, oh woe, the inequailty, the inequality
Bruce Everard or Aylward (JustRemainIn Webb mangled the surname so that it was unclear) was hand wringing on behalf of the Third World and the lack of vaccination. This gent works for the UN/WHO and is obviously ignorant of the Covid statistics: much of the undeveloped world does not have a problem with Covid-19.
He suggested that the developed world was manufacturing vaccines, if I recall correctly, at a rate of 2,000,000 every two days. That would take 22 years, if my maths is correct, to manufacture the vaccines for a complete world population of estimated 8 billion in two years time. However, over 1 billion have been vaccinated in the developed world already so that target is already smaller. Justin Webb asked him if the UK should not be giving boosters to those who have had two doses already.
Don’t think I heard a direct answer to that question.
Justin could and should have asked Bruce how you get vaccines to remote people groups in places like Mongolia and the Amazon. Justin could and should have asked Bruce whether that would be necessary. Justin Webb was just prepared let woe, woe, woe trickle down the microphone and stoke the self-hatred/West hatred of some Lefties in the developed world who now have something else to campaign on.
Maybe there is something in the UN /WHO water supply which makes these a holes into what they are .
Let other countries sort themselves out – blighty first – control the borders ….
These WHO immortals don’t pay tax on their pay do they ..?
A new chart, Fed, has been added to the Johns Hopkins world Covid-19 data here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51235105. It shows that some places are vaccinated up to the eyeballs ie. the Pitcairn Islanders (yes, honestly!) whereas Monaco and San Marino (Western countries) are not doing so well. I looked to see who compiled the data and, surprisingly, it appears to be our very own Office for National Statistics. Not sure their figures are credible on this. Who supplied the datat to them?
The only country totally vaccinated is Gibraltar and the total vaccines available total – according to the ONS – 6 billion plus. That means Bruce Aylward’s (Everard’s) statements on TOADY were somewhat incorrect just like those of Gordon Brown who was banging on about ‘vaccine inequality’ recently.
The other chart above it, of the 20 least infected/least deaths from Covid-19 nations on the world list, all – that is ALL – would be considered to be undeveloped or third world countries. Up at the top of that table, the top ten countries to suffer most from Covid, only Peru, Columbia and, in part, India truly qualify for Mr Aylward’s (Everard’s) attention. You have to go down to 31st place to Tunisia to find the first Africa nation on the list to have really suffered from Covid-19.
Up2
Interesting – I suppose UK world data is obtained via the likes of the commonwealth . Obviously it makes assumptions about number – both of real populations and real vaccinations .
I heard the argument being put forward that if we don’t do the vaccinations Russia and China will fill the void – good luck to them . It . Is . Not . Our . Business .
Gordon brown is after some international crown – which the charmless character will never get – so he can be happy brooding away .
I see the BBC is putting out a documentary about the Blair / Brown years -presumably to fire up the Red Tory party having a love in …
Elsewhere – coverage of the Evarard murder is overwhelming . Politicians / swamp seem to think some magic can be used to make London safer . There is no such magic . Nor is there magic to stop young coloured men to stop killing each other …
As for the Met – nothing will change . The queer bbc chap – Evan someone – suggested that there should be a finding of ‘institutional sexism / mysogeny creating the same weapon as the Macpherson nonsense – to undermine plod – for whom – sadly – I have little time any more .
AHA, a documentary commissioned by the bBC and featuring Steve Coogan as the Paedophile Savile.
What could possibly go wrong?
BBC had not part in it! FACT.
Steve Coogan? Never heard of him but, I’ll bet he, in keeping with the BBC constant denigration of the white male, is not black.
So the plod monster got a whole life sentence – maybe he’d do us a favour and take himself out of the breathing game completely – and it might help the family a bit .
Solitary for life doesn’t seem right ….
I am blaming the govts over criminalisation of lockdown rules for her murder. Without that she’d probably still be alive. They have a lot to answer to.
Not excusing the monster for a second, but the lockdown enabled him to execute his sordid, depraved plan.
Agreed, but the placard waving harridans do choose their victims carefully, all white

And so it continues.
This is probably the most weird contribution that have
ever been written on this website concerning “biased BBC.” But
please indulge me. Because there is some relevance .
I am a sucker for all the animal , Sir David Attenborough stuff
on TV. And I thought I had learnt quite a bit about wild animal
behaviour. BUT I had really no idea about the complex
family life of HYENA’S ,especially the spotted ones.
For many years it was believed that they were hermaphrodites.
Basically changing sex when they felt like it. Something the BBC
thinks is quite normal.
But no ,this is not the fact. These most intelligent of animals
have a hierarchy based on FEMININE dominance Something like
the BBC. The feminine dominance is overwhelming in the Hyena
hierarchy. Something like the BBC. The alpha female leader of the pack lets the males know when they can eat after a kill is made.
I am not sure if this happens in the BBC canteen. And by
the way lions scavenge more of the Hyena’s kills than the other
way round. The sex life of the Hyena is something to behold, or not. The females are in complete control of it. I am not quite
sure if this is the place to write this but the females have a clitoris
as long as a males penis. And believe this or believe it or not, this is
where the baby hyena is born from.
Look maybe I am going too far with this . If you are interested just google Lucy Cooke . This brilliant expert on hyena’s will explain it
all. Let’s just say that hyena’s are not what they appear to be in the Lion King.
In fact very much more like a society the BBC
would like to be natural. But maybe not. I
reiterate that the hyena is not a hermaphrodite.
Roy and Silo (born 1987) are two male chinstrap penguins in New York City’s Central Park Zoo. They were noted by staff at the zoo in 1998 to be performing mating rituals, but no sexual acts, and one of them in 1999 attempted to hatch a rock as if it were an egg.
‘Hatched a rock ‘ – I’ve done that a few times …
That moderating role can be tough, Fed. You have our thanks.
You’ll be modding Moxie asking Neville (Auf Pet) if his relief was ‘like passing a bowling ball’ next, Fed…
Now that would be funny!
Eh hem ….be careful if you Google ‘Lucy cooke’because a few different letters can result in a different result ….
I think the male hyenas just let the girls thing they run things for an easy life ….
Yes it’s one of the 4 categories of hyenas : Males in most hyena species are larger than females though the *spotted hyena* is exceptional,
“The female spotted hyena is actually dominant, larger in size and more aggressive than the male.
Females have a ‘penis’, which is an elongated clitoris, ”
http://www.wildlife-pictures-online.com/spotted-hyena-myth.html
Wow – heading down the road to hyena porn …

The new foreign secretary with an unusual political trajectory.
Steve Laws, who reports on the coastal invaders, has had his main twitter account permanently suspended.
The terrorists at Hope not Hate have been gunning for him (as indeed have the government).
“Where has England gone? … Where has Britain gone? Where has it gone?”
HnH have a post explaining why they got Steve Laws banned
https://hopenothate.org.uk/2021/09/27/why-steve-laws-the-migrant-hunter-is-far-right/
… If a racist group wanted to get a black guy banned from town they would write a very similar report
: Misrepresentation, dehumanising labels to monster them, guilt by association ie naming poisoned figures and say they are associated with them etc.
As ever projection is a libmob characteristic
The poison/dehumanising labels they used : “far right” ‘Migrant Hunter’
Their double Twitter thread has a lot of pushback
… https://twitter.com/hopenothate/status/1443511293277782017
They say one of a” band of ‘migrant hunters’ – individuals who film, *harass* and intimidate refugees”
That looks like the trick of putting Laws in a group so they can get people to believe he is guilty of things some of the group did
Since they never quote an example of Laws harassing immigrants I guess he doesn’t.
The first UK use of the term “Migrant hunter” I spot
is in an antifa thread about the Channel4news prog on Oct 19th 2020
… https://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1318280256344662016
Interestingly, the acronym HnH is also commonly used within the gay sex scene, meaning ‘high and horny’, that being individuals who prefer promiscuous sex under the influence of chemical stimulants.

Students at the University of Manchester have painted over a mural of a poem by Rudyard Kipling, arguing that the writer “dehumanised people of colour”. The poem If, which was written around 1895, had been painted on the wall of the university’s newly refurbished students’ union.19 Jul 2018
Just a comment on the vile piece of ‘Scum’ that has rightly been handed a whole life sentence for the murder of Sarah Everard.
Look at the detail of how he planned and then made happen the abduction, murder and disposal.
Then ask yourself (because the BBC won’t) what a vigil would achieve? What wiimmin’s rights groups might achieve? What Harriet Harperson and the sisterhood might achieve?
Absolutely nothing.
So please please could the leftist wokes just accept that only the most intolerant, statist, authoritarian, controlling, surveillance societies could ever hope to have a system which would prevent determined evil lone wolf murderers of this kind and it has no correlation whatever with any need to ‘make the streets safe’.
So stop demonising all men, please, because of the actions of one bastard- and please leave that word in on this occasion.
PS. Five times more men than women are murdered by a stranger. Where’s the BBC programme on that?
cos the sheep are being directed to protest
They were not directed to protest about the two Muslim women burnt to death recently.
All lives do matter
and thinking about structures that facilitate vile behaviour is useful
eg the way in some structures it is difficult to criticise the big men, cos of intimidation
Yes this whole business is a tragedy of the first order, but I am becoming desensitised to the outpourings of grief from the family as read out by lawyers, friends, and relatives of those who have died as a result of an act of barbarism. Today it was the turn of newsreaders in the studio who were reading a never ending comment from the family about Sarah and the person she was.
It probably helps the family to hear this relayed over the airwaves, but for the rest of us its a tragedy of the moment, and tomorrow will be yesterday’s chip paper. Yes, there but for the grace of God……., but a family’s grief should be private.
I find it interesting that at the time this case reached its apex, ITV chose to air a drama about the infamous Night Stalker serial rapist, Delroy Grant. Sky is also offering the first series on its catch up service, concerning Levi Bellfield, who murdered Millie Dowler and several other young females.
Self-awareness vacuum?
Just thinking about those massive petrol station queues.
It is most heartwarming to see how important the private motor car is to such a huge portion of the population.
But how much more heartwarming it would be if the government accepted this glaringly obvious conclusion and came out with some positive policies about the mode of transport that we in our millions demonstrably prefer.
Instead of patronising us to use public transport and doing all they can to make the life of the private motorist as unenjoyable and impractical as possible.
There might even be some votes in it.
Fedup, that Nonce Plod will have a hundred nonce finders on his case.
Whatever life he has left will be constantly looking over his shoulder.
self proclaimed nonce-finders are a bit late
What did they do to prevent him in the first place ?
What are they doing to prevent the next guy like him acting out vile acts ?
It certainly raises the question about how characters such as him get in the police and stay there. If his nickname was ‘rapist’ perhaps even the thickest sergeant might have asked questions –
And a drug abuser with a gun ? WTF as they say . I understand entrance requirements were reduced to get the coloured folk in but there needs to be an explanation for this hopefully soon to be dead character ..
And after thousands of pre teenage girls raped there will be robust procedures in every mosque…oh look a squirelll. taxi anyone ?
3:30pm R4 Book show

Girls in Somalia, forced to stay at home due to COVID-19, are now undergoing Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in their homes.
https://plan-international.org/news/2020-05-18-girls-somalia-subjected-door-door-fgm
SOMALIA HAS HIGHEST FGM RATE
According to UNICEF, Somalia has the highest cases of FGM/C in the world with 98% of girls undergoing it between the ages of 5 and 11 and COVID-19 prevention measures are seemingly perpetuating the continuation of the practice. The extreme act of violence is still legal in the country.
—–
As of 2015 there have been no convictions in the UK for performing or arranging FGM. By contrast, in France over 100 parents and two practitioners had been prosecuted by 2014 in over 40 criminal cases.
Hmm books, Waterstones used to be an interesting place until they decided that wiimin authors who sell less than 50 000 take primary place and books that say all white people are racist sit on the counter, good luck with that, go woke go broke W H smiths now on principle
no particular preference either way but interesting: Waterstones:
Wilbur Smith 130 million sales two books available
Ali Smith (a wimmin) less than 50 000 sales 6 books on sale under Smith
“According book sales monitor Nielsen BookScan, Smith’s novel Autumn is the commercial winner so far among the six titles shortlisted for the UK’s most prestigious prize for fiction with almost 50,000 copies sold. ”
Almost…. well done
meanwhile:
Wilbur Smith has struck a blow for elderly authors after signing a book deal worth at least £10m, for eight novels, at the age of 84.
The South African author, who splits his time between London, Cape Town and Switzerland, will leave HarperCollins, his publisher since 2012, and join Bonnier Zaffre, a three-year-old publisher based in London, which is a division of Bonnier Publishing, the English-language book publishing arm of Sweden’s Bonnier AB.
A spokesman for the publisher declined to say how much the deal was worth, only specifying that it was an “eight figure sum” in sterling.
“It’s such an energising time for me, my fans and my family of fictional characters, who are constantly talking into my ears asking to write their stories,” said Mr Smith.
“[My wife] Niso, myself and our team are starting an exciting new chapter with [chief executive] Mark Smith and Bonnier Zaffre, a dynamic publisher who will ensure that my work will reach my readers — both old and new — for generations to come.”
Mr Smith, who has published 39 novels since 1964 and sold 130m copies, will keep to his current schedule of writing two books a year
whilst Waterstones will keep flogging a dead horse because shes a wiimin

TOADY Watch #2 – oh woe, oh woe, the climate, the climate
A COP26 reminder, as if we haven’t got enough waste and inefficiency already. Apparently, the Scottish Government or the Glasgow Local Authority had created a Citizens Parliament of some 50 souls to opine on what should be done about the climate in advance of COP26. Guess who was first to speak on TOADY?
Yes, a 19 year old American woman with a squeaky voice. Do the BBC choose them deliberately? Or do they volunteer themselves, turning up at the local BBC studio or the Beeboid with the tape recorder announcing “I’m female and American, please let me squeak.”
I have nothing against Americans or American women. Some really good and dear friends are Americans resident in the UK and also others who are resident in the US. But how do and why do the BBC prioritise their voice over that of native Brits.
And did this woman have anything good and really constructive to suggest? No. Just the usual environmental platitudes.
Three-child policy whereby a couple can have three children, is a family planning policy in the People’s Republic of China. The policy was announced on 31 May 2021 at a meeting of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), chaired by CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping, on population ageing.

When the Three Gorges Dam was built, 39 trillion kilograms of water from the Yangtze River built up behind it to 175 meters above sea level. This altered the Earth’s moment of inertia changed ever so slightly, causing the rotation to move more slowly. This is the same principle behind why figure skaters tuck in their arms to spin faster.
NASA has calculated that the dam only slows the rotation by 0.06 microseconds, which is six hundredths of a millionth of a second. Our planet’s rotation speed actually fluctuates fairly often, as it can be influenced by earthquakes, the moon, and the climate change-induced movement of the North Pole.

They are monstrous, centuries-old infernos that issue thick billows of ash and smoke, and generate sinkholes that consume roads and homes without warning. Yet in spite of the dangers they pose, underground coal fires are some of the least known environmental disasters. China, the world’s largest miner and consumer of coal, has consistently downplayed the fires in its coalfields, considered the most severe on earth.
In some ways an underground coal fire works the same as a barbeque pit: coal is highly flammable, and stays ignited as long as there is oxygen and coal to burn. If a coalfield has an oxygen source, anything from a cigarette butt to a lightning strike can trigger a fire. Coalfields that have caught flame burn hundreds of feet underground at temperatures exceeding 1000°F for tens, hundreds, even thousands of years, rendering the surrounding area a toxic, eroded wasteland.
It would appear that our Gas supply problems might well have a lot to do with the shenanigens Joe Biden has been messing with over Nord Stream 2 Russia – Europe Gas pipeline where he has gone so far as to breaking sanctions laws in order to allow the project to go ahead.
There is an awful lot of complicated stuff surrounding this decision with side stories spinning off it which deserve article on their own, however Nord Stream two is now opposed by the new German coalition government as at long last Merkel leaves office.
I’m not following football till it stops taking the knee a demand from sponsors I expect.
Talking of opportunities to advertise im sure as eggs are eggs the selection by England to use 3 BME players to take decisive penalty in the Euros final was prompted by the potential advertising revenue that would follow successful conversions.
However I would like to ask …..what have those 3 potential hero’s achieved football wise since missing those penalties?????

Louis interviews the legendary comic for his Radio 4 podcast Grounded.

You will never guess who…
Oh, and in that time, 30 reactions.
Guest, wouldn’t be a squeaky voiced American female, would it?
A nice writeup in the D Tel today.
‘A former star BBC presenter has quit a Left-wing media company’.
Yes, Katty Kay has resigned from Ozy media.
Proof yet again of the inherent disposition of so many of the BBC’s ‘impartial’ journalists.
They’re trying to provoke aren’t they?
The BBC news looks more amd more like a student activist outlet from some third rate Uni.
Among the ‘informative’ items today- all on the BBC 1 6 pm tv news – are
1. Interviewing young females in London to ask ‘do you feel safe’.
2. Interviewing students and quoting children about the so-called climate crisis (does anyone know what that actually means? Nope, me neither)
3. School A level students feeling bad about….errr…….not having had to do any exams for two years and who are to be marked generously next year.
4. A focus on a 25 year old violinist. But not any violinist. A BAME violinist championing black and african music rather than some ‘dead, European guys’.
No challenge, no critique, no balance, no proportion. It was so vacuous, that coverage of vulnerable child St Greta of Thumberg saying ‘blah blah blah’ provided as much information as the rest of the report.
Absolutely cretinous.
The ‘report’ from Gush Laura will be awesome.

Weather time on the BBC.
The frequently well-dressed Louise Lear presents. Sophie Raworth gives the game away. It is Louise’s first presentation actually from in the studio for 20 months !!!!!!
Nice work if you can get it.
ITV local news
Middle item : The Raithlin oilfield planning decision is in.
The local council rejected it.
That’s what medialand wanted, so they played happy scenes of protesters.
Incredibly the next item was “energy poverty the recent gas price rises have showed a problem
and now with the £20 cut to Universal Credit how will poor people pay ?”
FFS £20lbillion worth accessible oilfield free
.. and you just said no to it.
======
AFAIK it is entirely typical for cowardly councillors to reject such planning applications, cos they are afraid of pressure from Greens
but at the next stage appeal
the government usually has to let the project proceed.
=======
The BBC prog is even more in with the protesters
so they opened the show with the item
and lots of scenes with happy protesters etc
They briefly played a clip from the oil corps PR film
that is the first time
In all this time we only had protesters voices again and again.
BBC #questionasaheadline narrative and photo ed propaganda in perfect harmony.
Wife just drove length of the country. No issue but one motorway sign advised one service station advised no fuel.
When did you stop beating your wife?

C4 news was trying to report the sentencing of the evil plod tonight – they said that no one from the usual police outfits – federation – met – chief police would come on to be interviewed – not a very good look from those outfits
It seems the met plod got in by joining the nuclear police which was ‘an easy touch ‘ then transferring across to a proper police force ( Kent ? ) -and then the (£ met ) where I guess there is more money …
A dirty business …..
Policing has always attracted some odious types – they really should put more effort into psych evaluating recruits to weed out the real assholes – and that reticence of the usual suspects confirms in my view – that they know that….
Nearly £30k of debt and an IVA should’ve set off a klaxon
