Cressida Dick and Priti Patel have expressed 'platitudes' but are failing to take real action to tackle violence against women and girls, Labour MP Jess Phillips tells LBC.@eddiemair | @jessphillipshttps://t.co/2vkH1GvX7v

Dories will make a speech at the red Tory conference next week – there will be sabre rattling and ‘Stron’ statements ‘ in the style of the devalued Home Secretary – but will she take on the BBC?
No I don’t think so because it is the run up to the next election ….
It took 2 years to reach trial ..the police arrested him in June 2019.
“The court heard Nowhia-Job has previous convictions for robbery, assault and burglary and was on licence for a robbery sentence at the time of the arson attacks.”
TOADY Watch #3 – oh woe, oh joy, the hardship, the help, the confusion
Both the BBC and bits of the print MSM cannot decide today whether life will be easier or harder for school pupils taking GCSEs and A levels next year. There will be grade inflation, there will be more fails, there will be exam aids, there will be no exam aids. Make your minds up MSM. I thought you said Gavin Williamson was hopeless as SoS for Education. You seem to be worse.
The TOADY covered both bets in the period 6.30 to 7.00 a.m.: exam aids and notice in advance of questions will be provided but marking will be tougher.
Up2
I heard that – as a failed student of the math back when I was a teenager – I heard that the examiners will get ‘formulae ‘ to answer the questions … why bother ?
If you are college-educated, have a white-collar job, live in a prosperous neighborhood or earn more than $38,000 (£28,000) a year, you have disproportionate power and responsibility that will be critical for averting catastrophic climate change https://t.co/LQah00UIuf
It’s a great joke but the trivia geek in me can’t help commenting on the irony that the makers of The Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers (Larry and Andy), are now The Wachowski Sisters (Lana and Lilly).
TOADY Watch #4 – a new acronym just for our FedUp2 to complain about
I hope I can remember it all, but one of the TOADY items from when I started listening this morning circa 6.30 a.m. was about sport and that a new category will be added to sporting contests where men and women are treated separately: Universal. This category will be primarily for Non-Binary Males And Females Who Do Not Identify With Their Assigned Gender At Birth, ie NBMAFWDNIWTAGAB.
That will be a nightmare for Sports Commentators and our Fed to deal with. I suggest it is shortened to TAGAB or even GAB. The really big, important question for Nick or Justin to ask was: “Will anyone want to watch that sports category?” but they did not. No surprises there.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. People of any age can have BDD, but it’s most common in teenagers and young adults. It affects both men and women.
Watching Countdown, not BBC I know, but, it appears to me that Channel 4 must believe that the country is split 50/50 White indigenous/Asian imports. Every other contestant is from the sub continent. Especially the smarmy twat that won today.
If I were a woman being attacked by a deranged seventeen stone rapist, I’d be more comfortable knowing there was a 5’4, slightly overweight blonde in uniform on hand to steam in and make an arrest.

The problem is that it is a monster which infests every aspect of life – using the same method the nazis used to get control of the German population .
Evening all,
Is there any truth in the rumour that, following ‘The Great Lockdowns’ the petrol companies were left with a surplus of of fuel which had ‘passed its sell by date’ and needs to be dumped so the oil companies created the panic buying to offload it all ?
Radio Lincolnshire today aired a female HGV driver who qualified a few months back
Says employers keep knocking her back cos she doesn’thave 12 months experience.
She’s from a family of truckers
According to the RAC, petrol generally has a shelf life of around six months if it is stored properly. That means in a tightly sealed container at 20 degrees. At higher temperatures it degrades more quickly, for instance at 30 degrees it will last for just three months.
So yes, there’s a sh*tload of dud fuel they’re offloading onto an unsuspecting British public via a manufactured crisis. It really is that simple.
He has lost the plot!
He has to go if the Tory party is to survive .
We are bouncing from one crisis to another.
The only answer is a coalition of the Reform party, the Reclaim Party, Britain First Party and UKIP for only they have Great Britain’s interest at heart.
Simples.
Just been to see the new Bond.
Observations
1. If you’ve never heard the theme tune you’ll understand why.
2. I think they cut back on villan cars cheap Maserates and a Lancia!! Oh and Jaguar XJ.
3. The BME lady who plays 007 (ooops spoilt it soz) has the biggest arse I have ever seen.
4. No black villans (suprise)
5. And I had to take the lady I went to the pictures with to one side outside and tell her that the RN Type 45 destroyer, portrayed in the film, does not have an air to ground capability with her VLMS ……sadly I don’t think she took any notice and will probably tell her nurse friends that RN Type 45 destroyers DO HAVE a ground to air capability from thier VLMS.
@BBCPropaganda tweeted If you were to add up all the hours of media reporting given to murders of men and women and divide by the number of murders
you’d find a massive problem with sexism in the media,
not the police
Listening to Arthur Smith supposedly tell the story of his father, Sid, he refers to him flying over the ‘White Cliffs of Dover’ after being released from imprisonment in Germany.
Smith throws in a line about Brexiteers ‘wetting themselves’ at the mention of the cliffs.
These BBC ‘comedians’ are just sick in the head, I can’t see any humour in that at all, he’s just spitting in the faces of half his audience.
The most nauseating part of all is how the remainers in the audience laugh even though it isn’t remotely witty. They remind me of children whose character hasn’t developed yet and have no humour of their own so live in a world of ‘groupthink’.
They did it on Saturday Night Live when anyone made a joke against Trump (which was usually just a blatant insult with no wit involved) – and being vulgar American democrats, they actually applauded. Like the far-left ‘Have I got news for you’ audience do sometimes.
Well there was something on Sunday
In her prog comedian Jessica Fostekew opened with
“Feminist complements”
..and the R4 studio audience groupthink went “yeh right on sister”
but she then went on to take the p*ss out of Feminist complements
and went into a routine about a guy saying she is hench (muscly)
..and how that doesn’t work as a complement for her.
I see the Sarah Everard sentencing is top news along with links to at least 7 other articles on the main page. Quite odd considering this is just the sentencing : the main case was covered in huge detail at the time. Why put it all up again ?.
Meanwhile the new story of the man accused of murdering Sabina Nessa is in court and is quite shocking in its violence at barbarity. Yet this one is just a small story and has slipped down 4 places in the last couple of hours already – despite being the big, main headline when it happened.
Of course we all know why. The murderer has turned out to be a Albanian immigrant. So she has been dropped just like Sasha Johnson was when they found out she was shot by someone black.
Shame on you BBC. You disgust me. You don’t care about any of these people. You only care about using them for your own political agenda.
Update 3am UK time: the Sabina Nessa story has already slipped down to last-but-one on the UK news page. No doubt the aim is to get it into ‘regions’ before you all wake up and discover what this immigrant did with a metal bar.
Luckily for them they have the Sarah Everard story to distract you – which is still at the top.
To much time spent with painting their fingernails and squad cars with rainbows 🌈 and wearing high-heels. This is what you get with wokeness and lack of discipline.
Just for the record, the Sabina story has disappeared completely and they are nit-picking anything they can come up with for Sarah Everard to keep it as the top headline. Even though it happened 7 months ago and Sabina was murdered 2 weeks ago.
It’s just shameful agenda baiting. These people have no morales and no scruples whatsoever. Sarah’s death is being used the same way they are using Greta.
John
In fairness there an be only limited pre trial comment – don’t worry though – they’ll be another predatory type rape / murder along pretty soon ….
But if the perpetrator is non white it won’t feature much for long .. narrative …
Then they tell us how 37% were out of stock on Tuesday which has dropped to 27%. Considering the increased demand by the selfish b@st@rds, it sounds like supplies have improved drastically.
Yet more irresponsible reporting by the BBC. Now they have planted the lie that it was due to brexit, they are trying to keep the panic going as long as possible.
I saw on ‘Hull Live’ how they sent a reporter out to look for queues or empty pumps. Every single one had no queues and plenty of fuel.
Sound like a selfish-Southerner issue to me. I wonder what percentage of those panic buying are also remainers.
I visited my local Asda store yesterday and drove into an empty filling station. During filling, one other vehicle pulled up to the pump behind me. No other vehicles for the duration of my visit……….
“ Climate change: Is the UK on track to meet its targets?”
It soon will be with Boris in charge ………. No gas , no gas , no heating , no transport – we will soon be carbon zero thanks, to nut. nut.
All to make an insignificant change to global emissions.
When China joins in and what we do might in any way be significant, I will support it. As it stands it’s going to put millions through hardship just to appease the ego of the Left (NutNut included in that group).
A cynic might think they are going to use this as an excuse to charge us all lots of extra money to pay back furlough and all the COVID costs which have made a lot of Tory donors rich.
I thought under eighteens could do anything now, including changing their gender at will, and electing to to take unnecessary and dangerous “vaccine” inoculations.
I haven’t written on here for a while, though I generally agreed with most of the comments, the reality of the state of the country does grind one down. However, I felt angry enough this morning to respond to what I read in the BBC Papers section, especially the BBC comment on The Times headline. Not only is The Times newspaper sick and insensitive for what I believe intentionally placing the headline ‘Chop Chop Britain in need of butchers,’ next to the article describing the work of the butcher who destroyed Sarah Everard’s body, but also the BBC caption,which followed Sarah Everard’s murder.
‘Elsewhere, the country is in urgent need of trained butchers.’
I am of the firm belief that the placement of these comment to be both offensive and insensitive to Sarah Everard’s family during a time of their grieving. This is no accident.
This is the Jimmy Saville BBC being sick and perverse AGAIN. They have learnt nothing.
I believe the placement of the comments from the Times and the comment is intentional with a BBC staffer thinking this is funny-a joke!!
The BBC is indeed a sick,sick organisation. We deserve better.
Can someone photograph/copy the caption before the BBC take it down as my computer skills are insufficient and put it on here for the record.
Wronged – welcome back – I take your point on those headlines but I don’t have the techy ability either.
As to the murder case . Normally I don’t favour ‘public inquiries ‘ but for this one I think there is a case to examine how this monster got his job and how he kept it . He will not be the only character of this type hiding behind a gun .
Obviously the problem with such inquiries is they take too long and become legal cash cows for vermin with their own self interest.
So maybe it needs to be a parliamentary inquiry – ……the red Tories will do something next week ….I hope it is enough.
It is something – too – that the top plod is a woman – the woke think havin a genda chosen leader makes a difference – this case shows that isn’t necessarily so .
London is now led by a frankly incompetent mayor as well as an inept commissioner … maybe we deserve it .
The BBC text says
\\Five serving police officers, including three from the Met,
are under criminal investigation for allegedly sharing offensive material with Wayne Couzens, reports the Times.
It says “misogynistic, racist and homophobic material” was shared between them on WhatsApp.
Elsewhere, the paper reports Britain is in urgent need of *trained butchers* //
Here’s a screenshot from my phone, by putting the page in desktop mode, swiping down on the top to bring up the screenshot button,
and then cropping the image.
But the thing is I disagree with your opinion. ” the placement of these comment to be both offensive and insensitive to Sarah Everard’s family during a time of their grieving.” *
” This is no accident.”
… the placing is incidental, I don’t think it’s done deliberately
* When someone has just died reporters have be sensitive, that relatives might not know of the death
and their first contact might be through the newspaper headline.
but now at a time like this, at the trial.
the papers do have report the detail .. and the relatives put themselves in a bubble until all the reporting has died down.
I tend to agree with Stew here. I don’t believe the juxtaposition was deliberate. I also don’t believe it to be the most important issue at stake here. But I perhaps I should apologise for any offence that further reference to a meat cut may have caused. But please let’s not play the game of obsessively policing language.
But it is the case that police selection needs a top down overhaul right across the force. Too many tattooed bodybuilders and thugs slipping through the net. I’ve fallen foul of these apes myself and they’re coppers in name only.
Thank you Fedup2, like so many others I’ve read from afar. I am impressed with the common sense level of discipline you maintain. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated.
“….there is a case to examine how this monster got his job and how he kept it .”
Earlier, Toady told me that the Met would be putting an extra 650 ‘new’ officers on foot patrolling certain areas. Due to diversity and that nonsense, I’ll wager that the 650 will consist of mainly foreigners and mainly muslim. That’s reassuring for the concerned population.
G
I think you’ll find those 650 will only be working in daylight as the dark is dangerous – also – they wouldn’t want to lose their second job at the weekends .
I suppose the convicted plod will be driving an HGV in a few months …
I signed up to go to a ‘weekend ashram’. It involves 4am starts, going vegan, being silent (for a couple of hours) and no alcohol. I’d forgotten about it, until today. pic.twitter.com/k0XCox2Oks
Thank you Harry – poor old Lammy has no shame or sense of irony – cultural perhaps .
There is a ‘car crash ‘,sky interview of Diane abbot being asked about some ‘terrorism report ‘ which she claimed to have read but clearly hadn’t which makes the viewer squirm for her however much one might despise her and her type .
Absolutely deplorable, toe-curling, incessant seditious s***- stirring on Toady today.
Will leave detail to regular writers.
But must just mention an interview with a woman. One woman. Out of a near 70 million population. And the BBC ‘find’ this woman whose energy company went bust, owing her about £60. Then her new energy company went bust, owing her about £140 ( turns out these monies may be recoverable through the energy transfer process). Now her bills will rise by so much per month that ( sob, sob) she may not be able to afford to retire next April.
In respectful imitation of our hero Matt, the cartoonist in the Telegraph, one seeks to highlight those daily ironies where the editorials, feature writers and columnists dare not tred.
This morning Matt responds with wit to both our failing NHS and media suggestions that so-called key workers be gifted priority at our filling stations, with a sketch of a couple crouched beside a petrol pump: “If we wait here you might get to see your GP”
I guess we all would like to think we’re indespensable. It may still be advertised as socialistically free at the point of access but don’t assume you’re welcome any time soon down at your local NHS dispensary: ‘In-person appointments with GP fall by a million in a month‘ (Telegraph)
Quoting a campaign group for the elderly: “We keep hearing promises from ministers and officials that there will be action on this, but nothing changes” – what we’re up against here is a blob as coined to describe the State education establishment. It is the capture of a public service by the employees and the bending of that service to serve not the public but the interests and the perpetuation of the institution itself and in particular those higher eschelons on the payroll. “Save our NHS” “Protect the NHS”
We’ll return briefly to our glorious NHS. Like the Holy Roman Empire which historians tell us was neither holy, roman, nor an empire, we now find the NHS neither national, healthy, nor a service.
My small satirical ironic vignette reflecting an alternative side view of the news today may not be comedic this time but is drawn for me in the form of the court artist’s sketch, as reproduced on the frontpage of the freebie Metro.
We see the sentencing hearing for Wayne Couzens kidnapper and murderer of Sarah Everard. ‘Take him down… and never let him out‘ suggests the Metro. In the drawing we see the judge Lord Justice Fulford, jury members, lawyers, even a uniformed guard beside the dock – perhaps a warrant card holding copper or perhaps some form of private security firm employee… who can tell these days?
Couzens, we learn: ‘refused to look up‘ and of Sarah we are told: ‘her final hours after being handcuffed and tricked into his car “would have been as bleak and agonising as it is possible to imagine”‘ – tricked we recall thanks to Lockdown regulation powers gifted to the police. And guess who it was was in court was wearing a face mask emblematic of Lockdowns? You guessed it – the murderer and the murderer alone. Placed in the dock supposedly to face up to his guilt. Not funny, but it is quite some cartoon.
The ‘i’ suggests our top cop is under renewed pressure to resign: ‘Police chief urged to quit… Met Commissioner Cressida Dick faces calls to resign over missed chances to stop Sarah Everard’s killer‘ – we’ll, see. Unlike that innocent Brasilian electrician our high profile diversity appointee has proved pretty bullet proof to her gaffs up to now. She was a big clapping fan of the NHS let’s remember.
As for Couzens, I’m reminded of a hot mike gaff by the late lamented golf presenting legend Peter Aliss. Assuming he wasn’t live to air he once shared with a co-presenter his reaction to members of the public wandering onto the fairway during a competion match: “They should be flogged… flogged… all the way to the gallows”
Returning to the subject of the NHS, our GPs may think themselves to be something of a vital privileged elite but apparently they’re small fry compared with TV personalities who can really stop the traffic: ‘Driver fury as garage shut 7hrs by TV crew‘ (The Sun) – this is publicly owned Channel 4 filming a drama called Suspect with James Nesbitt who is pictured on the frontpage: ‘…star fills up BMW in his role as a cop‘ – they do say all publicity is good publicity but this looks awkward to me: ‘Fuming motorists were turned away from a fully-stocked petrol station… The star ignored boos and horns to play his role‘
And finally: ‘Botox-style injections and lip filler ban for under-18s in England‘ (BBC) – old enough for a covid jab, however.
Sadly, OG, our Metropolitan Police force (or perhaps others brought in from the shires) think it is quite permissable, iirc, to knock an elderly lady over. Her crime? Being white and on an anti-Lockdown/anti-vax demonstration. We need you back in the UK as Met Chief Commissioner!
Switch on Bingo : local radio “Now it’s Black History month …”
The thing was the black guest then couldn’t speak much cos the presenter was too busy apologising for being white
and saying “when I was at school there no black kids,
now my children are at school there are quite a few black kids, and that’s great !”
Reggae, poetry and an all-female playlist will feature on BBC Radio 2 this autumn. The special features in October come as BBC Radio 2 marks Black History Month with a celebration of reggae which features a brand new series – Shaggy’s Reggae Hotshots…https://t.co/tAOjdtvkjPpic.twitter.com/E6jxRCkCb6
Stew- I’ve been scouring my mind for some years now, trying to account for the sudden black=good, white=bad (I’m generalising, obviously) thing taking hold in Europe. I mean, to me reggae is crap, since I like Beethoven, Bach, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Kalinnikov, etc
But that is obviously a question of taste. I’m a Christian and happen to think Islam does not belong in Europe. I have no problem with the prophet’s revelations or those who believe in them. I too, believe in prophets. But I note there are dozens of Muslim countries that disapprove of Christians and would say these do not belong in their countries permanently in ANY LARGE NUMBERS.
Why should the UK not remain an essentially white, Cristian country? Why does it suddenly have to be more ‘diverse’? Ditto Europe. More Multicultural? Why? Nobody is asking that of Africa, China or Middle Eastern countries.
And what gives the taxpayer funded BBC the right to shove all the various ‘minority’ stuff down our throats? I’m not going to believe in LGBT stuff -it doesn’t appeal to my convictions, fashionable though it may now have become.
I’m certainly not going to fund my own downfall via the BBC, and I deserve the right to call things that are degenerate in art, music, culture, etc degenerate. Sorry BBC, you have been slipping for years and are pretty close to rock bottom.
Sick – No doubt. I’m sure there are many who would find Bach an imposition/unbearable. (Although they might come to like him forty years down the line?) That’s why I said it was a question of taste.
However, as an ACHIEVEMENT a Beethoven symphony is so far beyond anything Reggae has created, there is simply no comparison.
It’s like comparing a work by Shakespeare or Goethe to a comic book. Both feature creativity and both will have their fans….
I quite enjoyed comic books in the Sixties, especially Archie, Little Lulu and Tubby
I think the explanation to that, von recht, is that Satan is busy trying to wreck Matthew 28 verses 18, 19 and 20. He is exacting his revenge via Islam and Bhuddism, mostly, for the faithful Christians who took on their Lord’s command and did what He instructed in those verses at the end of Matthew’s Gospel.
I’m getting very hungry and very thirsty as each day proceeds for what is outlined in Matthew 5 v6 and also looking forward to a future time when there will be a tree of life spanning a river on a new earth and the leaves of that tree will be for the healing of the nations. In the meantime, all we can do is to resist Satan’s machinations.
One way to do that is to take advantage of the world’s peoples being brought into the UK. Missionaries no longer have to be sent abroad to fulfil Matthew 28, vs.18, 19 & 20. 😉
If asked, I might express some concerns about the establishment, especially politicians, judiciary, civil service, police… and media, who enable those who make the law a dual track mockery that leads to anarchy.
TOADY Watch #1 – Mishal interrogates but breaks the rules
Much angst and lots of leading questions from the presenters this morning. The big interview candidate is Kit Malthouse MP, Minister for Crime and Policing. That’s not actually doing the crime or the policing but is a Government position as Minister under the Home Secretary. Jess Phillips, Labour Shadow, gets the first go (typical BBC trick that I thought they had abandoned) and Mishal doesn’t break the rules with her.
With Kit Malthouse, Mishal Husain breaks the first rule for radio presenters and interrupts and talks over Kit Malthouse while he is answering her questions. Funny thing is that the questions were all about having more rules for Police to follow over dealing with women and crimes against women.
What we perhaps need are some rules for radio presenters at the BBC, especially when interviewing Conservative Party MPs, Ministers and Secretaries of State.
Mishal is, above all, arrogant. She thinks she has the right to talk over anyone she likes to. Doesn’t like Tories, obviously. BBC should consider getting rid of her. Inability to remain ‘impartial’.
But we all know why they won’t. Gotta be ‘diverse’ you know, and not tolerate anyone who doesn’t believe that (or in ‘tolerance’).
It’s this latter slow death of freedom of expression in the name of various new state ideologies that gets me. Like states and organisations that grow increasingly intolerant in the name of tolerance.
Yes, and we desperately need to have rules for presenters at the BBC. They have come to believe they have a God-given right to promote the new ideology they now espouse. With our money!
Imagine going shopping for milk and bread. The store insists you take cabbages and carrots instead, cos they don’t believe in milk and bread…
At least in the old Soviet Union there were more than just one or two key words their ideology was based on; there were the writings of Marx and Engels and the party ideologues like Mikhail Suslov, to ensure they were updated.
Not that I should have liked the Suslov’s of this world. What worries me: we are now getting a set of our own…

Guest -Unfortunately there exists such a thing as evil in our world. Just as there is good, and countless examples of.
Not fashionable now to believe in it, but what else was it that possessed the killer? Seemed like a rational man (let’s skip moral for now), who could have calculated the consequences of his actions.
Evil has been around for a long time, and -depending on your scriptural beliefs (or lack of) – always will.
Much as the BBC would like to ascribe evil intentions to men only, I believe women are just as capable of succumbing to it, although not necessarily as street murderers.
Until we give the children we bring up some MORAL guidance, not only skills that will give them a job (important), we will have them growing up to be potential street criminals.
Indeed. And measures can and need taking to minimise the risk they prevail in evil aims.
However any I can think of are immediately hampered by institutional civil service corruption to the top, NGOs, charities, the opposition, most in government and almost all media.
Of the latter there is only white or of color. In anything.
Almost every daily video (sometimes there are more) issued by Simon Webb in his “History Debunked” series is worth its weight in gold. He hits the nail on the head every time, and is careful to avoid the Youtube censors (but occasionally falls foul of them)… He talks utter sense, with a hint of sarcasm. They should be de rigueur for visitors to this site.
I went back to an open political forum last night because they were winding me up with posts which were clearly ignorant or false information. What surprised me was the general level of collective misinformation.
They believed that the issues surrounding General Milley were untrue and had been simply a smear invented by Donald Trump and broadcast by Fox News.
Theye did not have a clue as to the nature of the accusations and thought that there were none, believing instead it was just simple name calling.
They also have zero ability to find information for themselves and require it to be spoon fed to them, like babies, and yet they hold very strong opinions which quickly crumble when challenged, leaving them with the only usual option to deploy an ism or fauxbia when they run out of ideas.
It leaves me with the feeling that they have been spoonfed their half baked ideas by a corrupt media that they cannot accept is lying to them.
If the DVLA had been working as they should then the 50,000 applications backlog would not be affecting the HGV drivers and we would probably have no real shortage of drivers.
Why are the European Countries having huge HGV driver shortages. The DVLA are not processing their applications etc (as well as not processing ours)
Or, are all the DVLA’s in every other Country on strike or WFH.
Of course, if the MP had not said “don’t panic buy” then there would not have been a problem but as soon as it was uttered it triggered exactly the response we all knew would follow, panic buying.
Maybe invite the police in to the sitting room but not allow the TVL on the property . Give the police the info if they promise not to divulge any info to TVL .
Stewart White – the presenter of ‘ look east ‘ for 37 years – announced his retirement on air last night … i always saw him as part of the fabric of East Anglia
But i can guess what he it going to be replaced with .. another nail .. another coffin ..,
I do wonder how they feel in Norfolk and Suffolk when perusing the TV. As an occasional visitor to these areas, it is plain to see the demography bears no resemblance whatsover to the desperate, clumsy, insidious, amateur social engineering of the ad agencies and bbc that tries to tell them of the society they inhabit, in the desperate hope they do not look out of the window or walk around and observe the lies being told them on a daily basis.
Zephir.. Suffolk and Norfolk is now full of people who( the same as us Swelters) have fled London or the suburbs in the hope that we will be left alone to enjoy our lives .

I spend quite some time on country walks and yet, over 15 years, can report not one BAME encountered. Not a single one, ever. (apart from some tv adverts where they appear regularly).
Yet the bbc when reporting on a farming story manages to find the one black farmer in the UK to consult, and Countryfile, its full of them. Why ?

the media restricts themselves with ongoing cases, but in a biased way eg hard if it’s a perp they like , soft if it’s a perp they don’t
#2 Everard is London
#3 The case is being USED by Guardianland activist groups for their politics

TOADY Watch #2 – And Justin now says something really quite shocking and ought to be in big trouble
At the time, it almost passed me by, but it did register and later on I was struck with renewed force by something I had heard JustRemainIn Webb say on this morning’s TOADY programme. The discussion was about new media and Facebook appearing before a US Senate committee. In the general chat Justin had with a contributor (sorry forgotten his name) Justin Webb suggested that the new media should censor anything placed on their platforms by ‘anti-vaxxers’.
In my view, Justin should have been invited to inspect closely the warp and woof and colour of the carpet in the D-G’s office after saying something like that.
It does, however, give an insight – a shocking insight – into the mentality of the BBC and their staff, their arrogance and their belief that only they are right and proper persons to decide on life, the universe and everything on behalf of the people of the UK.

TOADY Watch #3 – oh woe, oh joy, the hardship, the help, the confusion
Both the BBC and bits of the print MSM cannot decide today whether life will be easier or harder for school pupils taking GCSEs and A levels next year. There will be grade inflation, there will be more fails, there will be exam aids, there will be no exam aids. Make your minds up MSM. I thought you said Gavin Williamson was hopeless as SoS for Education. You seem to be worse.
The TOADY covered both bets in the period 6.30 to 7.00 a.m.: exam aids and notice in advance of questions will be provided but marking will be tougher.

TOADY Watch #4 – a new acronym just for our FedUp2 to complain about
I hope I can remember it all, but one of the TOADY items from when I started listening this morning circa 6.30 a.m. was about sport and that a new category will be added to sporting contests where men and women are treated separately: Universal. This category will be primarily for Non-Binary Males And Females Who Do Not Identify With Their Assigned Gender At Birth, ie NBMAFWDNIWTAGAB.
That will be a nightmare for Sports Commentators and our Fed to deal with. I suggest it is shortened to TAGAB or even GAB. The really big, important question for Nick or Justin to ask was: “Will anyone want to watch that sports category?” but they did not. No surprises there.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. People of any age can have BDD, but it’s most common in teenagers and young adults. It affects both men and women.

taffman,
According to the RAC, petrol generally has a shelf life of around six months if it is stored properly. That means in a tightly sealed container at 20 degrees. At higher temperatures it degrades more quickly, for instance at 30 degrees it will last for just three months.
So yes, there’s a sh*tload of dud fuel they’re offloading onto an unsuspecting British public via a manufactured crisis. It really is that simple.

I see the Sarah Everard sentencing is top news along with links to at least 7 other articles on the main page. Quite odd considering this is just the sentencing : the main case was covered in huge detail at the time. Why put it all up again ?.
Meanwhile the new story of the man accused of murdering Sabina Nessa is in court and is quite shocking in its violence at barbarity. Yet this one is just a small story and has slipped down 4 places in the last couple of hours already – despite being the big, main headline when it happened.
Of course we all know why. The murderer has turned out to be a Albanian immigrant. So she has been dropped just like Sasha Johnson was when they found out she was shot by someone black.
Shame on you BBC. You disgust me. You don’t care about any of these people. You only care about using them for your own political agenda.

Then they tell us how 37% were out of stock on Tuesday which has dropped to 27%. Considering the increased demand by the selfish b@st@rds, it sounds like supplies have improved drastically.
Yet more irresponsible reporting by the BBC. Now they have planted the lie that it was due to brexit, they are trying to keep the panic going as long as possible.
I saw on ‘Hull Live’ how they sent a reporter out to look for queues or empty pumps. Every single one had no queues and plenty of fuel.
Sound like a selfish-Southerner issue to me. I wonder what percentage of those panic buying are also remainers.

I haven’t written on here for a while, though I generally agreed with most of the comments, the reality of the state of the country does grind one down. However, I felt angry enough this morning to respond to what I read in the BBC Papers section, especially the BBC comment on The Times headline. Not only is The Times newspaper sick and insensitive for what I believe intentionally placing the headline ‘Chop Chop Britain in need of butchers,’ next to the article describing the work of the butcher who destroyed Sarah Everard’s body, but also the BBC caption,which followed Sarah Everard’s murder.
‘Elsewhere, the country is in urgent need of trained butchers.’
I am of the firm belief that the placement of these comment to be both offensive and insensitive to Sarah Everard’s family during a time of their grieving. This is no accident.
This is the Jimmy Saville BBC being sick and perverse AGAIN. They have learnt nothing.
I believe the placement of the comments from the Times and the comment is intentional with a BBC staffer thinking this is funny-a joke!!
The BBC is indeed a sick,sick organisation. We deserve better.
Can someone photograph/copy the caption before the BBC take it down as my computer skills are insufficient and put it on here for the record.

Wronged – welcome back – I take your point on those headlines but I don’t have the techy ability either.
As to the murder case . Normally I don’t favour ‘public inquiries ‘ but for this one I think there is a case to examine how this monster got his job and how he kept it . He will not be the only character of this type hiding behind a gun .
Obviously the problem with such inquiries is they take too long and become legal cash cows for vermin with their own self interest.
So maybe it needs to be a parliamentary inquiry – ……the red Tories will do something next week ….I hope it is enough.
It is something – too – that the top plod is a woman – the woke think havin a genda chosen leader makes a difference – this case shows that isn’t necessarily so .
London is now led by a frankly incompetent mayor as well as an inept commissioner … maybe we deserve it .

* When someone has just died reporters have be sensitive, that relatives might not know of the death

the papers do have report the detail .. and the relatives put themselves in a bubble until all the reporting has died down.

In respectful imitation of our hero Matt, the cartoonist in the Telegraph, one seeks to highlight those daily ironies where the editorials, feature writers and columnists dare not tred.
This morning Matt responds with wit to both our failing NHS and media suggestions that so-called key workers be gifted priority at our filling stations, with a sketch of a couple crouched beside a petrol pump: “If we wait here you might get to see your GP”
I guess we all would like to think we’re indespensable. It may still be advertised as socialistically free at the point of access but don’t assume you’re welcome any time soon down at your local NHS dispensary: ‘In-person appointments with GP fall by a million in a month‘ (Telegraph)
Quoting a campaign group for the elderly: “We keep hearing promises from ministers and officials that there will be action on this, but nothing changes” – what we’re up against here is a blob as coined to describe the State education establishment. It is the capture of a public service by the employees and the bending of that service to serve not the public but the interests and the perpetuation of the institution itself and in particular those higher eschelons on the payroll. “Save our NHS” “Protect the NHS”
We’ll return briefly to our glorious NHS. Like the Holy Roman Empire which historians tell us was neither holy, roman, nor an empire, we now find the NHS neither national, healthy, nor a service.
My small satirical ironic vignette reflecting an alternative side view of the news today may not be comedic this time but is drawn for me in the form of the court artist’s sketch, as reproduced on the frontpage of the freebie Metro.
We see the sentencing hearing for Wayne Couzens kidnapper and murderer of Sarah Everard. ‘Take him down… and never let him out‘ suggests the Metro. In the drawing we see the judge Lord Justice Fulford, jury members, lawyers, even a uniformed guard beside the dock – perhaps a warrant card holding copper or perhaps some form of private security firm employee… who can tell these days?
Couzens, we learn: ‘refused to look up‘ and of Sarah we are told: ‘her final hours after being handcuffed and tricked into his car “would have been as bleak and agonising as it is possible to imagine”‘ – tricked we recall thanks to Lockdown regulation powers gifted to the police. And guess who it was was in court was wearing a face mask emblematic of Lockdowns? You guessed it – the murderer and the murderer alone. Placed in the dock supposedly to face up to his guilt. Not funny, but it is quite some cartoon.
The ‘i’ suggests our top cop is under renewed pressure to resign: ‘Police chief urged to quit… Met Commissioner Cressida Dick faces calls to resign over missed chances to stop Sarah Everard’s killer‘ – we’ll, see. Unlike that innocent Brasilian electrician our high profile diversity appointee has proved pretty bullet proof to her gaffs up to now. She was a big clapping fan of the NHS let’s remember.
As for Couzens, I’m reminded of a hot mike gaff by the late lamented golf presenting legend Peter Aliss. Assuming he wasn’t live to air he once shared with a co-presenter his reaction to members of the public wandering onto the fairway during a competion match: “They should be flogged… flogged… all the way to the gallows”
Returning to the subject of the NHS, our GPs may think themselves to be something of a vital privileged elite but apparently they’re small fry compared with TV personalities who can really stop the traffic: ‘Driver fury as garage shut 7hrs by TV crew‘ (The Sun) – this is publicly owned Channel 4 filming a drama called Suspect with James Nesbitt who is pictured on the frontpage: ‘…star fills up BMW in his role as a cop‘ – they do say all publicity is good publicity but this looks awkward to me: ‘Fuming motorists were turned away from a fully-stocked petrol station… The star ignored boos and horns to play his role‘
And finally: ‘Botox-style injections and lip filler ban for under-18s in England‘ (BBC) – old enough for a covid jab, however.

Stew- I’ve been scouring my mind for some years now, trying to account for the sudden black=good, white=bad (I’m generalising, obviously) thing taking hold in Europe. I mean, to me reggae is crap, since I like Beethoven, Bach, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Kalinnikov, etc
But that is obviously a question of taste. I’m a Christian and happen to think Islam does not belong in Europe. I have no problem with the prophet’s revelations or those who believe in them. I too, believe in prophets. But I note there are dozens of Muslim countries that disapprove of Christians and would say these do not belong in their countries permanently in ANY LARGE NUMBERS.
Why should the UK not remain an essentially white, Cristian country? Why does it suddenly have to be more ‘diverse’? Ditto Europe. More Multicultural? Why? Nobody is asking that of Africa, China or Middle Eastern countries.
And what gives the taxpayer funded BBC the right to shove all the various ‘minority’ stuff down our throats? I’m not going to believe in LGBT stuff -it doesn’t appeal to my convictions, fashionable though it may now have become.
I’m certainly not going to fund my own downfall via the BBC, and I deserve the right to call things that are degenerate in art, music, culture, etc degenerate. Sorry BBC, you have been slipping for years and are pretty close to rock bottom.

I think the explanation to that, von recht, is that Satan is busy trying to wreck Matthew 28 verses 18, 19 and 20. He is exacting his revenge via Islam and Bhuddism, mostly, for the faithful Christians who took on their Lord’s command and did what He instructed in those verses at the end of Matthew’s Gospel.
I’m getting very hungry and very thirsty as each day proceeds for what is outlined in Matthew 5 v6 and also looking forward to a future time when there will be a tree of life spanning a river on a new earth and the leaves of that tree will be for the healing of the nations. In the meantime, all we can do is to resist Satan’s machinations.
One way to do that is to take advantage of the world’s peoples being brought into the UK. Missionaries no longer have to be sent abroad to fulfil Matthew 28, vs.18, 19 & 20. 😉

Lessons must be learned about the murder of the woman in the headlines . Women should be able to walk about London without being in fear of murder .
A new way of thinking about the problem must be done – now .
That’s easy— stop importing bogus asylum seekers .

TOADY Watch #1 – Mishal interrogates but breaks the rules
Much angst and lots of leading questions from the presenters this morning. The big interview candidate is Kit Malthouse MP, Minister for Crime and Policing. That’s not actually doing the crime or the policing but is a Government position as Minister under the Home Secretary. Jess Phillips, Labour Shadow, gets the first go (typical BBC trick that I thought they had abandoned) and Mishal doesn’t break the rules with her.
With Kit Malthouse, Mishal Husain breaks the first rule for radio presenters and interrupts and talks over Kit Malthouse while he is answering her questions. Funny thing is that the questions were all about having more rules for Police to follow over dealing with women and crimes against women.
What we perhaps need are some rules for radio presenters at the BBC, especially when interviewing Conservative Party MPs, Ministers and Secretaries of State.

Mishal is, above all, arrogant. She thinks she has the right to talk over anyone she likes to. Doesn’t like Tories, obviously. BBC should consider getting rid of her. Inability to remain ‘impartial’.
But we all know why they won’t. Gotta be ‘diverse’ you know, and not tolerate anyone who doesn’t believe that (or in ‘tolerance’).
It’s this latter slow death of freedom of expression in the name of various new state ideologies that gets me. Like states and organisations that grow increasingly intolerant in the name of tolerance.
Yes, and we desperately need to have rules for presenters at the BBC. They have come to believe they have a God-given right to promote the new ideology they now espouse. With our money!
Imagine going shopping for milk and bread. The store insists you take cabbages and carrots instead, cos they don’t believe in milk and bread…
At least in the old Soviet Union there were more than just one or two key words their ideology was based on; there were the writings of Marx and Engels and the party ideologues like Mikhail Suslov, to ensure they were updated.
Not that I should have liked the Suslov’s of this world. What worries me: we are now getting a set of our own…

Guest -Unfortunately there exists such a thing as evil in our world. Just as there is good, and countless examples of.
Not fashionable now to believe in it, but what else was it that possessed the killer? Seemed like a rational man (let’s skip moral for now), who could have calculated the consequences of his actions.
Evil has been around for a long time, and -depending on your scriptural beliefs (or lack of) – always will.
Much as the BBC would like to ascribe evil intentions to men only, I believe women are just as capable of succumbing to it, although not necessarily as street murderers.
Until we give the children we bring up some MORAL guidance, not only skills that will give them a job (important), we will have them growing up to be potential street criminals.

Indeed. And measures can and need taking to minimise the risk they prevail in evil aims.
However any I can think of are immediately hampered by institutional civil service corruption to the top, NGOs, charities, the opposition, most in government and almost all media.
Of the latter there is only white or of color. In anything.
And ratings.

Almost every daily video (sometimes there are more) issued by Simon Webb in his “History Debunked” series is worth its weight in gold. He hits the nail on the head every time, and is careful to avoid the Youtube censors (but occasionally falls foul of them)… He talks utter sense, with a hint of sarcasm. They should be de rigueur for visitors to this site.

I went back to an open political forum last night because they were winding me up with posts which were clearly ignorant or false information. What surprised me was the general level of collective misinformation.
They believed that the issues surrounding General Milley were untrue and had been simply a smear invented by Donald Trump and broadcast by Fox News.
Theye did not have a clue as to the nature of the accusations and thought that there were none, believing instead it was just simple name calling.
They also have zero ability to find information for themselves and require it to be spoon fed to them, like babies, and yet they hold very strong opinions which quickly crumble when challenged, leaving them with the only usual option to deploy an ism or fauxbia when they run out of ideas.
It leaves me with the feeling that they have been spoonfed their half baked ideas by a corrupt media that they cannot accept is lying to them.

If the DVLA had been working as they should then the 50,000 applications backlog would not be affecting the HGV drivers and we would probably have no real shortage of drivers.
Why are the European Countries having huge HGV driver shortages. The DVLA are not processing their applications etc (as well as not processing ours)
Or, are all the DVLA’s in every other Country on strike or WFH.
Of course, if the MP had not said “don’t panic buy” then there would not have been a problem but as soon as it was uttered it triggered exactly the response we all knew would follow, panic buying.

How many officers does it take to deal with a TV licence offence? I should have thought: one.
No wonder serious crime is getting out of hand.

I do wonder how they feel in Norfolk and Suffolk when perusing the TV. As an occasional visitor to these areas, it is plain to see the demography bears no resemblance whatsover to the desperate, clumsy, insidious, amateur social engineering of the ad agencies and bbc that tries to tell them of the society they inhabit, in the desperate hope they do not look out of the window or walk around and observe the lies being told them on a daily basis.

I have checked his picture, could not fail, under any circumstance, next he will be reporting on Norfolk and Suffolk agricultural matters no doubt, with his in depth insight and deep knowledge of rural communites and their culture.
I spend quite some time on country walks and yet, over 15 years, can report not one BAME encountered. Not a single one, ever. (apart from some tv adverts where they appear regularly).
Yet the bbc when reporting on a farming story manages to find the one black farmer in the UK to consult, and Countryfile, its full of them. Why ?

John mentioned the media’s obsession with reporting the Everard case.
Even GB news Youtube channel has 13 stories on it in in the last 24 hours.
Why the reporting-bias ?
#1 Sub-judice has ended
the media restricts themselves with ongoing cases, but in a biased way eg hard if it’s a perp they like , soft if it’s a perp they don’t
#2 Everard is London
#3 The case is being USED by Guardianland activist groups for their politics
whereas they don’t bother much with grooming gang victims
.. even though the police were often at fault there too.
FFS there was an Asian police officer PC Amjid Ditta. in court for grooming gang stuff.
I guess he was not convicted.

TOADY Watch #2 – And Justin now says something really quite shocking and ought to be in big trouble
At the time, it almost passed me by, but it did register and later on I was struck with renewed force by something I had heard JustRemainIn Webb say on this morning’s TOADY programme. The discussion was about new media and Facebook appearing before a US Senate committee. In the general chat Justin had with a contributor (sorry forgotten his name) Justin Webb suggested that the new media should censor anything placed on their platforms by ‘anti-vaxxers’.
In my view, Justin should have been invited to inspect closely the warp and woof and colour of the carpet in the D-G’s office after saying something like that.
It does, however, give an insight – a shocking insight – into the mentality of the BBC and their staff, their arrogance and their belief that only they are right and proper persons to decide on life, the universe and everything on behalf of the people of the UK.
