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 ?

TOADY Watch #1 – oh ho ho – this could be bad for the BBC
There was a little clue just after 7 a.m. this morning that the ‘Pandora Papers’ are indeed the Panama Papers re-named, probably due to BBC amnesia/dementia or in a fake attempt to make them appear new. It was revealed on the programme this morning that, apparently, the BBC have had access to these papers for several months. Questions could now be asked over why the BBC chose to release the OLD news from the PANAMA PAPERS about a supposed donation to the Conservative Party on the first day of the Party Conference in this year.
Could this be the end of Tim Davie and the new Head of News, Jess Brammer?
Up2 – I bet at this very moment the far left bbc news department is looking for something to undermine nut nuts conference speech on Wednesday – at the moment I think I’m reading their playbook pretty well ….
…. I guessing a councillor or drunk MP rape allegation or similar …
Toady likes the reverend lucy wingett. She is the vicar who does’ thought for the day ‘( very poor ) – and is happy not to mention God – Christ – Jesus – Christianity – which makes her suitable for promotion I reckon . …
Anyway – she took up the theme of ‘tax avoidance ‘ which the BBC is into at the moment .
Now here is the Truth – one of the first things you learn when you study tax law is the maxim ‘there is no morality in a tax’ – leading to the likes of the taxman bankrupting companies with tax bills and very rich people avoiding tax legally .
As said woke vicar droned on I thought of all those BBC people on tax avoidance contracts —- but we won’t see a panorama about them .
Disclosure – I am not wealthy enough to avoid tax . But I’d rather have my money than be forced to have the state take it away …
Fed, think its Canon Lucy Winkett. Which leads to the inevitable question: “What’s the difference between a rifle and a cannon?” (This was told to me by someone who was a Canon in the CoE!)
Answer? I’m sure you will all know.
Canon Lucy can do quite good TftDs. Sometimes. On a few occasions.
Her church (St James, Piccadilly) always reminds me of Jesus and two of His visits to the Temple in Jerusalem. In that respect, it is- at least – doing its job.
Arguably you can avoid tax by not buying things.
Keep a pound, still got a pound.
Buy something for a pound, get something worth 80p, lose 20p to tax.
Jim, technically that’s tax avoidance and tax evasion both at the same time. 😉 Avoidance is legal, evasion is a crime. Which reminds me, I wonder how the Democrats in the US Congress are going with their search through former President Trump’s bank statements.
BBC Asian Network ‘calls for’ height signage in Tamil?

Every Saturday morning there is FYI on Sky, and its ‘manned’ by small people. The main protagonist is a northern precocious male child, who clearly has a career in tv later on. Why we have to be inflicted with the comments or views of children who only their family love, is beyond me.

Robinson ‘interviews’ Nut Nut . 5 minutes in Robinson tells the PM to ‘stop talking ‘. A BBC journalist saying that to the PM – Robinson clearly hates nut nut – and sees himself as more important than nut nut .
I hope HMS Nadine was listening .
BTW Robinson didn’t deliver any ‘hits ‘ on nut nut …. And generally it was a wasted 20 minutes ….
… I really wish we had a conservative government ….
Sorry Fed, I rushed to post without refreshing my tab so did not see your post. Rick Nobinson and the PM knew each other at University. Am not sure that Nick hates the PM or Prince Nut Nut as you now insist on refering to him as spouse of the Princess Nut Nuts.
It was a waste of twenty minutes but the PM is a bad communicator and his brain is all over the place. Imagine if Donald Trump was still US President and he had a meeting with our present PM. The officials in the room would come out after an hour, maybe two hours, without a clue about what had been said. It would be an incomprehensible blur.
Up2
Nut nut knows that doing his ‘toad of toad hall ‘ act goes well with the public who glaze over when anyone mentions PSBR / RSPB or such like …. It fills the time and he ll drop a bit of Latin just for the wiki types …
.. personally I’d love him to say we’ve done the Money tree so no more give aways – no pay rises – cuts to the Nhs and plod and benefits either real or by stealth .
But it ain’t gonna happen … more adverts for diversity leaders £80k plus package – 3 day week – no traumas
BBC journalists have defended a George Orwell quotation engraved outside the corporation’s HQ after the singer Billy Bragg said it made him cringe.
The quote outside New Broadcasting House, reads: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” The inscription was unveiled in 2017 alongside a statue of the writer, who worked for the BBC during the Second World War.

TOADY Watch #2 – the award for breaking the first rule for radio presenters goes to … Nick Robinson.
Prime Interview slot is occupied by the large frame of the Prime Minister. Nick Robinson breaks the prime rule for radio presenters ‘Do not talk over another person, especially your interviewee’. Noticeably absent from the questions were the possibly/probably re-named Panama Papers, now known as the Pandora Papers.
I wonder why?
I actually laughed.
Something to do with the bbc, too.

Toady tells me that Sickle Cell disease is predominantly found in black Africans. No doubt the first sufferers were contaminated by White Supremacists practising Colonisation. The latter not discussed. The BBC are working on an angle.
NHS dentistry access delays: ‘I pulled 11 of my own teeth out’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-58792323
BBC trying to spin it as only a NHS problem, with the underlying assumption if you go private everything is fine.
I’d say it isn’t, I just has a six monthly check up, need 2 fillings, first available appointment 9 weeks away.
Do dentists still have the utterly absurd Ebola rules in place?
Pandora’s Box and a bad case of UTI
‘Will the BBC be here in ten year’s time? I don’t know, says Dorries’ (Daily Telegraph) – which, to my mind, tends to prove the Tories don’t have much in the way of policies and have decided on this issue, like they do on so many others, just to wing it.
The Daily Express features a pic of Fiona Bruce on their frontpage announcing: ‘Here is the news… BBC may not exist in ten years‘ – which as a prediction doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.
Speaking of beans… the Daily Mirror attacks Rishi Sunak (and the horse he rode into town on) with: ‘Privately educated, former banker, married to a billionaire’s daughter, doesn’t know how much a tin of beans cost…‘
My old nan was pretty good at shopping and never missed an episode of The Price Is Right but all the same I wouldn’t have asked her to Come On Down to preside over the Treasury.
One notices the Mirror throws practically everything but the kitchen sink at Rishi… practically everything…
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown goes there in the lefty opinion-flavoured ‘i’ newspaper: ‘I hate to say it but Tory frontbench diversity is a rude awakening for Starmer‘

In religious news, it appears priests, rabbis, imams and various assorted swamis have all bent the knee to the new global religion: ‘The Pope and other religious leaders have urged politicians due to attend the Cop26 conference in Glasgow to save the planet from disaster‘ (The Times)
Turning to more practical matters, the FT warns of looming global recession: ‘US crude hits 7-year high after oil nations snub call to raise output… inflation spectre looms‘
Meanwhile the FT proposes a cure for depression: ‘Severe depression relieved using brain implant hailed as “landmark success”‘ – remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true…
I know it may be your breakfast time but in further health news the ‘i’ goes with: ‘UTIs – the hidden epidemic‘ – for the unintitated that’s urinary tract infection and guess what…? Our NHS true to form is a bit rubbish at treating it: ‘Women with “life-crushing” condition let down by NHS‘
Apparently Sajid Javid will attempt to shake up our failing nationalised health service: ‘NHS boses face sack for failing to cut waits‘ – what you’ll find is you now won’t even get onto that waiting list.
The Guardian has a different angle: ‘Health secretary urges patients on waiting lists not to go private‘ – in other words patients must have more patience with our fabulous NHS. But Sajid, we protected it, we saved it, and now we find it is, frankly, rubbish.
The Guardian suddenly discovers the world is ruled by a self-serving billionaire cabal of crony capitalists as they go large on the: ‘Pandora Papers‘ – “D’oh!” – to borrow Homer Simpson’s catchphrase. Besides a couple of Ancient Greek references there (Boris would surely appreciate) it never ceases to amaze one how the more the Left complain of dodgy deals with political donors, insider sweetheart government contracts, suspect offshore influence and jobs for the boys – so the more power and control over our lives they demand we give up to the State.
And the Left will keep opening that Pandora’s Box: “….releasing physical and emotional curses upon mankind”

“The campaign group Defund the BBC is hosting a debate at Conservative Party Conference on whether the BBC licence should be reformed or scrapped. Speakers include former Secretary of State Rt Hon David Davis MP and Reasoned presenter Darren Grimes.”
“Successive governments have backed away from confrontation with the BBC at the last minute and the campaign group is looking to ensure that doesn’t happen again.”
“The BBC licence is a discriminatory tax which unfairly hits the vulnerable hardest” Campaign Director, Rebecca Ryan says, adding “but it’s also totally archaic and unpolicable. The BBC can only continue to raise funds this way through coercion and threats. It’s time for the BBC to join the 21st century and move onto a voluntary subscription model that covers just BBC content.”

The Common Sense Group stands for authentic conservatism.
With opportunities provided by Brexit, the time for a refreshed
national conversation on the defining issues of our time –
nationhood, community, migration, the rule of law and public
order – is now.
The battle of ideas has been drawn into sharp focus with the
emergence of extreme cultural and political groups, Black
Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion, Kill the Bill et al. –
subversives fuelled by ignorance and an arrogant
determination to erase the past and dictate the future.
Our group, which has grown to around 50 Parliamentarians,
meets regularly and, over the last year, has campaigned on
issues as wide-ranging as the means by which charities have
been misused for left-wing political ends, to championing
British heroes.
With Conservatives capturing seats across Britain in areas
which had backed Labour for decades, the expectation of our
voters is for a government that, at last, might reflect the will of
the people, rather than pandering to the peculiar
preoccupations of the liberal elite and the distorted priorities
of left-wing activists.
This publication draws together the thoughts of some of the
Group’s members on issues of profound concern to the people
we represent.
The business of politics is values – it’s about place, purpose
and pride. The Battle for Britain has begun, it must be won by
those who, inspired by the people’s will, stand for the
common good in the national interest.

Yes, let’s all get down to the beaches in Kent and wave flags at the invaders. That’ll really put them off coming. But, hey, that could be a ‘Non-Crime, hate incident’ couldn’t it…………..
I’m sure others must have noted this, but I’ve only just noticed the BBC webshite has two (2!) headings now all about the ‘climate crisis’:
‘Climate’ tab:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56837908
‘Science’ tab:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science_and_environment
Which is actually ‘Science & Environment’ when you open it up and normally at least 80% ‘climate emergency’ articles.
And those are on top of all the ‘green’ articles in ‘politics’, ‘uk’, ‘world’, ‘business’ etc…
Science is settled …. Earth is flat.
The science cannot be disputed. I have written confirmation from Marvin Gaye and his writers Ashford Nickolas and Simpson Valerie that the world is just a great big onion, and pain & fear are the spices that make you cry.
Lewis Hamilton launches scheme to recruit black teachers in STEM subjects
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/58790701
The McLaren F1 has a fuel tank which takes 90 litres of 98 octane super-unleaded and, depending on whether you thrash the car hard across moorland roads or gently trundle down the motorway in sixth, it will return anywhere between 9mpg and 23mpg.
Recruiting only black teachers is of course racist, a fact that doesn’t register in the closed BBC hive mind. Or perhaps it does and they choose to ignore it, as Lewis ‘my home town Stevenage is a sh*t hole’ Hamilton is one of their untouchable favourites.
I might be disingenuous, but these slebs never think for themselves, so any ‘initiative’ like recruiting black teachers, and feeding ‘hungry’ kids in the school holidays, clearly comes from their PR ‘people’ for good publicity.

Fury as BBC director-general gets £75,000 pay rise after one year in charge
Tim Davie’s pay jumps to £525,000, almost three times more than the Prime Minister, amid broadcaster’s cost-cutting measures

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/26/fury-bbc-director-general-gets-75000-pay-rise-one-year-charge
Tim Davie, the director-general of the BBC, has been given a pay rise of £75,000 after one year in the role.
The broadcast executive succeeded Lord Hall of Birkenhead in September 2020, and was given the same remuneration as the former boss, taking home £450,000.
Mr Davie’s pay has now increased 15% to £525,000 after a year leading the corporation, making his salary more than three times higher than that of Boris Johnson, who earns £160,000 a year.
Andrew Bridgen, the Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire, said: “Why is Keith Vaz still a member of the Labour party after his litany of much publicised transgressions?”
Labour sources confirmed that Vaz had also taken up a role on the party’s local government committee in his home city of Leicester, provoking anger among some local activists.

Origin of Coronavirus
I attach an Internet article that alleges Covid-19 is not a virus but a patented biological weapon. Among those seemingly involved in lodging the patent with the US Patent Office in 2018 are the European Commission, Wellcome Trust and Gates Foundation.

“Home Secretary Priti Patel confirmed in her Conference speech today that an independent inquiry will be launched to scrutinise the actions taken by police in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder”
Both figures are correct. The Iraq Inquiry, chaired by Sir John Chilcot, spent just over £13 million over the eight years it was in action. The Leveson Inquiry into press culture and standards, back in 2011 and 2012, came in at about £5.4 million over roughly a year.

A Freedom of Information request has revealed that so far, around £3.6 million has been paid out to lawyers who have been dealing with compensation claims over the cases.

Think he was mentioned but in small text.
With due respect to Ms Dorries she cant be burdened with the duty to reform the bBC. If she goes down that road we will know it is doomed to fail,
Only the marketplace can assist.
In other words sell it in whole or in parts to the highest bidder/s.
In turn there might be enough value to reward the LF payers with a retrospective dividend…tax free!
Ms Dorries could certainly make her mark by returning the bBC to the free market and to offer its services by way of the industry standard subscription models.

non-crime hate inciden
Not every reported incident is a crime. If officers are unsure whether a reported incident amounts to a crime, an initial investigation should be undertaken to establish the facts to determine whether it is a hate crime or a non-crime hate incident.
Where it is established that a criminal offence has not taken place, but the victim or any other person perceives that the incident was motivated wholly or partially by hostility, it should be recorded and flagged as a non-crime hate incident.

Dear Anna Soubry,
Can you tell me why people have to “Suck It Up” regards immigration when your party leaders have said the following:
1978 … “Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition governme nt was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society…. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.” – Theresa May 2015
Yours sincerely
Video of Anna Soubry saying “Suck it up! Suck it up!” “Anna Soubry vs Caroline Flint on the Norway/EEA option.”
Yes, when was it that Treason May nipped discretely and without fanfare over to New York to sign the UN’s Migration Compact?
Evil woman.
In the interest of the safety of this country the “UN’s Migration Compact” needs to be ‘unsigned’, before we end up being a third world country with severe civil disturbances.
AFAIK it was Morocco
“Theresa May signed us up to the UN’s Migrant Pact in December 2018 in Marrakesh (Morocco)”

Caroline flint was a sad loss to the commons and her party – she’d have been a tough opposition leader for nut nut … no peerage either …
