A BBC favourite – the Conservative Party Conference -hits the airways . Great traditions such as ‘ unfortunate comments’ and cronyism and corruption flood the BBC airwaves at this time of year . But how will the BBC behave knowing there is a new ‘ culture ‘ minister ?

Clap at the Conservative Party Conference for the NHS ….
The number of terminally ill people accessing end-of-life benefits has increased during the pandemic, with a cancer charity warning of more evidence of a growing “cancer backlog”.
Macmillan Cancer Support said people in Wales were being diagnosed with later-stage cancers.
It reported a 20% year-on-year increase in application forms for people who have less than six months to live.

“We couldn’t furlough cancer,” says Richard Pugh, head of Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales

Surely a crisis that the BBC can deal with dreckly
The BBC seems to be having a bias field day today on their website, attempting to find as many Tory Party donors as they can who they hope will be accused of corruption and fraud.
Looking at the list of BBC TV programming (which mostly doesn’t induce me to watch their programmes) I’m coming to the conclusion that the BBC is institutionally racist. There seem to be a huge amount of programmes which have the sole intention of persuading us that white people are overwhelmingly bad, and should be ashamed of their culture and history – especially if they’re English.
Do you get the feeling that outfits such as the BBC and the red Tory government are more and more out of touch – whether it is daily illegal invasions – blocking roads – failing to calm a petrol crisis – they don’t get the general public anger ….
…and there are no browny points for vaccines after the shedload of borrowed money used during the ongoing pandemic –
Must be time for a new project fear variant ….
The BBC sent Justin Rowlatt upto Grimsby and Hull to do a PRasNews item to promote the wind industry
100 people complain he said Grimsby is in East Yorkshire
50 complain he and the BBC map used the description Humberside
That hated county name was abolished 30 years ago
Then the blade manufacturer tweeted him to say The name of the company is not Siemens
“Ahem, Justin – that’s Siemens Gamesa”

Aircraft must store onboard all the energy needed to move its mass for each flight (unlike a train connected to an electrical grid). … Electric planes need batteries with enough energy per kilogram of battery, or the mass penalty means they simply can’t fly long distances.30 Sept 2019
For instance, increasing the mass of a car by 35% leads to an increase in energy use of 13-20%. But for a plane, energy use is directly proportional to mass: increasing its mass by 35% means it needs 35% more energy (all other things being equal).
But that is only part of the story. Aircraft also travel much further than ground vehicles, which means a flight requires far more energy than an average road trip. Aircraft must store onboard all the energy needed to move its mass for each flight (unlike a train connected to an electrical grid). Using a heavy energy source thus means more energy is needed for a flight, which leads to extra mass, and so on and on.
For an aircraft, mass is crucial, which is why airlines fastidiously weigh luggage. Electric planes need batteries with enough energy per kilogram of battery, or the mass penalty means they simply can’t fly long distances.

So as Gamesa executives see it, they made the right bet by coming to China. And they insist that they have no regrets about having trained more than 500 Chinese machinery companies as a cost of playing by Beijing’s rules — even if those rules have sometimes flouted international trade law. It is simply the table stakes of playing in the biggest game going.
“If we would not have done it, someone else would have done it,” said Jorge Calvet, Gamesa’s chairman and chief executive.

Tory Donations…
I for one find the timing of the release of these papers at best suspicious.
Do i care who donated what to who and when, no, do i bo—cks and i dare say Mr & Mrs Joe Public feel the same way.
We the public are becoming more and more savvy at the conduct of the media and especially the BBC. Recently released opinion polls back up this opinion, blaming the BBC for stoking up the panic with regards to the recent fuel crisis.
What i find laughable about he BBC is they genuinely believe they are getting one over on the Tories and us the public, how wrong they are.They just dont seem to learn or understand how we all feel about there appalling conduct and Bias.
For the last 2 General election the Biased BBC and left wing press and media did there best to get Labour elected but as i said we the public have become much more savvy not to fall for such BullSh-t.
I for one no longer worry about the BBC and its behaviour and infact find it hilarious they are still pedaling the same old crap.
As for Labour and there outrage (jealousy more like) at the Tory donations, rest assured if a Russian oligarch offered them £525k they would snap his hand off given there financial predicament
Name of donor: BSkyB Address of donor: Grant Way, Isleworth, Middlesex TW7 5QD Amount of donation or nature and value if donation in kind: Hospitality and accommodation for two nights for myself and my family at Hay Festival, with a total value of £1,072.

libmob sowed the seeds
But here’s the score card from that 2010 event: Lars Hedegaard, of the Danish Free Press Society, had invited five of us that day – a Dane, a Swede, a Norwegian, a Dutchman and yours truly:
~The Norwegian comedienne Shabana Rehman had already had her family’s restaurant firebombed; she now lives under 24/7 police protection, which is not the easiest way to practice observational standup;
~The Dutch cartoonist Nekschot was obliged, for security reasons, to appear on stage with his face obscured and unidentifiable. So he chose to wear a burqa. Funny, but not quite secure enough. Nekschot had already been arrested for “hate speech” with the authorities openly taunting him about the impending loss of his anonymity. He now lives in hiding, and is no longer a cartoonist;
~Our host Lars Hedegaard was subsequently shot at point-blank range, but fortunately by an incompetent, so he survived. Mr Hedegaard also lives in hiding; the would-be assassin lives free in Turkey, where Sultan Erdogan refuses to extradit
https://www.steynonline.com/11733/a-hero-and-a-hoot
That’s all it took. Lars was very funny about his newfound celebrity: He carried with him a picture of a Pakistani mob that had been whipped into a frenzy by somewhat inaccurate intelligence, so they were all jumping up and down in the streets demanding “DEATH TO LARISH”. And for a while that day in Copenhagen we all called him Larish: “Hey, Larish, another beer?”, etc.
Larish was likewise a hoot about two of the first jihadists sent to dispatch him. He came home one night to find that a couple of Kosovars had set his kitchen alight. As they escaped across the snowy field heady with the warm glow of their glorious victory over the infidel, they chanced to glance down and noticed that that warm glow was because they’d accidentally set their trousers on fire. After some effort to extinguish the blaze, they were forced to abandon their flaming pantaloons and scamper off into the chill night in their jihadist BVDs. Alas, the best-laid plans and all that: in addition to being trouserless in a Nordic winter, they had neglected to remove from their smouldering pants the charred driving licenses and other identifying documentation. Police were able to track them down rather easily, not least because they were the only two men in Scandinavia taking a late-night stroll in their Y-fronts.
https://www.steynonline.com/11733/a-hero-and-a-hoot
When Lars told this story in Copenhagen, the whole room was roaring with laughter. Afterwards we all went to dinner. And news came to us somewhere between the soup and digestifs that a one-legged Chechen from Belgium, seething with resentment at Lars and the rest of us infidels, had prematurely self-detonated in his Copenhagen hotel room while assembling his package and preparing to hop into Paradise. And we all had a grand laugh about that, too. As I put it that day, Islamic terrorists are like Yosemite Sam, forever shoving the stick of dynamite in their own pants – until one day Yosemite Ahmed manages to get it right. After the bombing of the Conservative Party conference in 1984, the IRA taunted Mrs Thatcher: “You have to be lucky every day, we only have to be lucky once.”
Boris ignores 3 teachers hiding in Batley after making a joke about Burkas … Boris is not Winston Churchill … not even the shadow of him …
The Swedish police continue to investigate. Whatever the circumstances of the fatal crash, Douglas Murray is correct as to the broader cause of death:
Lars Vilks was a man, and an artist, of enormous courage. He should never have been in this situation, and if other artists and others across Europe had not been such cowards then he never would have been.

China is trying to influence public officials and manipulate the UK media through British universities, critics say.
A centre at the University of Leeds offering language classes and lessons on Chinese culture to local businesses secretly aims to foster close links with British bureaucrats, a newly released document suggests.
A media research centre at the University of Westminster with links to the Chinese government has provided training to more than 600 spokesmen from Chinese government departments on how to handle the British media. The centre is run by Hugo de Burgh, a British academic who boasted of having taken Boris Johnson on his first trip to China a decade ago.

In the preamble to this thread – which some or may not look at – I forecast that in the time of the Conservative party conference there would be ‘corruption. ‘ and ‘ unfortunate comments ‘ together with cronyism .
Well we’ve had the BBC happily reporting all 3 – and it’s only Monday . The ‘comment ‘ is by some idiot ‘police commissioner ‘ saying women must be more ‘street wise ‘.
Now in sane times I think this would be quite reasonable – but in our insane times he is being told to resign – obviously would not be a loss for a ‘non job ‘ .

ITV local news : co production with Black newspaper The Voice
and ITV’s Amrit Birdi
Black mixed is not Black – fight!
Why if a Black newspaper has existed for 60 years does it need to do a big survey and claim it doesn’t know about Black Britons ?
This is one of the most depresing of Simon Webb’s videos that I have watched.
He says that the Museum of Childhood has been closed while they get rid of the old toys that we interloping white people remember and to be replaced by things more familiar to the young Nigerian.
He also says that the Geffrye Museum has been renamed The Museum of the Home and now tells the tale of our Brave Black Britons dragging their freezing chains through the snow in order to get a drop of paraffin for those heaters exclusively owned by them.
Oh how I remember those times, when we kicked the black cook to get her to wake up and light up the coal fires in every bedroom, while her young whelps would amuse themselves by carving the solution to differential equations on the ice on the outside of our windows!
Or was that Tom and Jerry?
Curious, Facebook doesn’t exist at the moment? DNS problems? Trump? Brexit?
WhatsApp is down as well.
The plot thickens.
Maybe they’ve all overheated due to global warming.

2) The plod twitter police cos it might be offensive in the hurty word sense.

TOADY Watch #2 – the heir to Blair or what?
I listened to Rishi Sunak’s Prime Interview slot with Nick Robinson this morning. I found it slightly unnerving. Rishi’s voice sounds a lot like that of Tony Blair and Rishi uses some of the same speech tropes. Gave me the heebie jeebies, am very allergic to Tony Blair.
I think Tony Blair may well come back to politics in the UK and take over from the Sucker who Thought he Could run Labour. I’m sure the BBC would be delighted if Blair did return.

It’s not just the BBC that play these disingenuous race games with their audiences, they’re all at it…
Recently ITV have given us a couple of series called Manhunt, starring Martin Clunes.
They’re based on real life crimes, the second being the notorious serial rapist and burglar who became known as The Night Stalker.
This charmer, whose origins came from the Caribbean, was careful and cunning and successfully eluded the police for decades. He targeted vulnerable elderly people. The poor old souls had their remaining years utterly ruined. Some didn’t survive.
In the TV drama quite a number of the police attempting to catch this brute, are black. These weren’t just people there to make up the numbers, they were leading players. They were all very sympathetically drawn and shown as being hard working and thoroughly decent, but…
Last week ITV gave us the true story of this police investigation, it was a bit of an eye opener. In this documentary they went behind the scenes and interviewed the real coppers who investigated these repulsive crimes…and you know what?
None of them were black…
Not the bBbc. Should be, but you’ll see why.
It seems we’ve got them all wrong.

Although the film showed the lady in her desperation, Mr Myrie only spoke of ‘confrontation’ and no mention of the lady trying to get to hospital or why. The BBC made it look as though the woman was being unreasonable. The BBC obviously siding with the anarchists.

But this morning and lunchtime the BBC were doing a meme that worker pay increases would be detrimental . Basically if the workers got an increase prices would shoot up and everyone suffers .
Um well , I thought the BBC and Guardian types were for minimum wages and some thought it should be £15 per hour .
Perhaps their accountants had a word with them and their pension advisors , tax lawyers and financial consultants chipped in with warnings .
So free , gratis , non invoiced tax free advice I give some words of wisdom to the BBC .
Its not just the pay of your cleaners , nannies , Amazon delivery drivers and hospitality staff et al that makes inflation .
Its also government and quangos and the BBC itself .
Plus the welfare state .
So yes , Beeboids , paying more for poultry workers might seem inflationary , but if you employed British workers in industry at a really good wage rather than them being on the dole while you paid foreign workers a pittance here (but when sent to their countries a kings ransom ) then you save taxes on dole money .
If you save taxes ie; not impose them ,you have a cheaper labour force as well as a well paid labour force .
For example BBC , by you not paying yourselves too much it means the licence tax could be cheaper and help stop inflation .
Will you do that for the lower paid ?

First new treatment for sickle cell in 20 years
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58791333
‘And in a trial, patients taking the crizanlizumab had a sickle-cell crisis 1.6 times a year on average, compared with nearly three times a year normally.’. So from 2.8 to 1.6 times a year. Not even half.
‘ it remains unknown how long the benefits last for – and that makes it difficult to judge how cost-effective crizanlizumab is.’
‘the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence said the hope of reducing health inequalities for black people, who are predominantly affected and often have poorer health to start with, made the drug worth recommending.’
It seems nature is racist now as well. Predictably the BBC don’t tell us that cost but google tells me it is around £2,000 per jab.
What this actually means is that the treatment of white people with known working drugs is being sacrificed to pay for a drug which is unproven and only partially works to help black people (it is NOT a cure) purely on race grounds.
Does anyone apart from the woke consider that to be ethical ?. It’s racism worthy of the most extreme doomsday Sci-Fi.
DW : Europe’s Energy Crisis
Funny how the BBC is now interested in HGV drivers . It isn’t sure what the difference is between a driver and a haulier – but anyway – if firms have treated British people like dirt for years whilst importing cheaper drivers they deserve everything they get .
And now they are crying to the government . Thankfully the EU visa thing won’t work – so they need to pay more and train their own drivers with incentives to be faithful .
It i were an HGV driver – or their union – if they had one – I’d be exploiting this shortage to its maximum,
On toady – Robinson was wetting himself over shortages ….
“Priti Patel outlines measures to stop disruptive activists from travelling”…….
Will it work?
What do you think?
“ Nadine Dorries: New culture secretary says BBC needs real change”……..
More and more threats from an impotent and left wing Tory government.
Government being criticised for failing to support mentally challenged victims of the Facebook outage . … or not ….
But it set me thinking a tiny bit . Now that social media has replaced God ( except for the insane Islam’s ) perhaps there should be one day a year of not social websites – including this one . ( heresy ) …..
As I write – toady some farmer bleating about pigs and culls and slaughter staff and food banks and all nut nuts’ fault .
Seems like state dependency is everywhere .
Vile poses a question.
I’d say it depends.
Meanwhile, Sky…
LBC, home of O’Brien. Ex BBC.
Hopeless !
I don’t think she will have any effect , just another Priti Patel.
Even if Nadine was a fire breathing BBC hater she would struggle to radically change it . She isn’t just taking on the corporation but all her civil servants, the powerful arts lobby, the entire Remainer establishment and others. Even if Boris backed her it would still be a struggle.
In my view the only way that the BBC can be fundamentally changed is for large sections of the public to refuse to pay for it. As has been said many times if a million people refused to pay many others would follow and the BBC finances would collapse in a month. It would be forced to go begging to the government for a hand out of tax payers money and even this TINO Government would surely refuse and the BBC would be forced to become subscription only.
The political media establishment has reduced this country to a shambles.
#politicsoftheleastbad was always an unpalatable option at the ballot, but I despair that our options are idiots unwilling and or incapable of doing anything, vs. ten times worse being blatantly shoved as alternatives by millionaire socialists on air.
It’s a shame, because I really like Nadine, and agree completely with everything she says, but, I think you’re right Taffman, Doublethinker, there will be no real support from Boris, and nothing will come of it – she’s only one woman, and the swamp spreads too far, and seems bottomless.
Never mind, the days of the BBC are numbered anyway, younger generations aren’t interested, they’ve been reared on YouTube and Netflix, and older generations are gradually waking up to the fact there are better alternatives available.
Will be interesting (and entertaining) to watch what happens to all the swamp dwellers as the feeder streams gradually get cut off, and the swamp begins to dry out. I reckon a lot will attempt to scramble for a place in the Netflix/Prime waterhole, but if that gets any more ‘swampy’ than it is currently, people will move on, and those will dry out too.
Big bro
I think the BBC has a secret stash in the ‘commercial arm ‘ which it uses when pleading poverty ..
They would put it on Council Tax or introduce an Internet Service Tax.
Bear in mind that politicians don’t watch TV as it clashes with HoC/HoL siiting time.
Double, I think you are right. Good post. I started sixteen and a half years ago and I don’t miss it. Maybe when I’m going gaga in a Care Home I will allow myself to be zimmered to a chair in the TV lounge but while I’m self-propelled and fairly cogniscent I prefer to do without TV and the TV Licence Tax. I would rather spend that money, which I cannot really afford anyway, on other things.
God, no.
How is it that they can use The Terrorism Act against people selling timeshares in Spain, but can’t use the Highways Act against people blocking the highway?
The BBC, meanwhile, is going full bore on a minor piece of reversible petty vandalism in another country.

China promotes education drive to make boys more ‘manly’

The West is dying from Toxic Female Culture.
The Western female has taken power from the Western male whom she now holds in contempt.
If only some strong exotic men would come along, beat them up a bit, and put them in their place. Every Western girl’s sexual fantasy!
It’s coming girls, but unlike the ‘Mills and Boon’ it doesn’t stop when you put the book down.
