The BBC and its’ mass media friends are intent on increasing shortages – either actual or fictional . It’s a dream subject for the BBC – it can both frighten people and blame its’ enemy – the government – Brexit – you – me …….

Abdulrazak was surprised to learn he had won because he probably knows deep down that he wasn’t really the best.
Nobody else is surprised. I just feel sorry for all the white males on the list. They never had a chance because of institutional racism.
Ottoman empire under scrutiny for the mass killings? Oh wait – only one empire was bad and pays back ….
Not the BBC but a rant … listening half awake to the wireless I hear that at the moment the UK has sufficient gas supplies for 7 days – seven – it used to be 14 but the red tories – Michael Fallon – closed a big storage facility about 5 years ago .
Apparently he made the decision because of advice from a my V Putin – or maybe a sweet young girl called ‘Olga ‘who he met when he was lonely .
Honestly – I was trying to think why any politician – any politician – could be so dumb as to leave the UK at such a risk .
The closure of the storage facility lost 7 days of storage .
Other countries – France – I think – gas 80 days storage …..
All this mismanagement by the red tories is stacking up ….
By the way – apparently a version of the ‘virus exercise ‘ run 4 years ago by the Health Department has finally been released – it had been suppressed by the red tories for various made up reasons …
Hearing that a Scottish tennis player who hates England is in the news over a pair of trainers – I wondered if we should build a list of ‘approved ‘ individuals and subjects …
The ‘disapproved ‘ list is more difficult because much of that is demonstrated by omission …..

BBC Online News:
“UK public now eating significantly less meat”
“That reduction though is not happening quickly enough to meet a key national target, according to scientists.” (All scientists?? 🙁 )
“We now know we need a more substantial reduction,” said lead researcher Cristina Stewart from the University of Oxford.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-58831636
This is Christine Stewart. A twenty-something snowflake:
“I am a researcher working within the Health Behaviours work package of the Livestock, Environment and People (LEAP) project. My research focuses on the development and testing of behavioural interventions designed to help people make more environmentally sustainable food choices.”
In other words, she does not actually offer an objective food choice. It has to be HER food choice.
People talking like that make me want to go out and have a meat fest eg huge plate of bacon butties . Last night tried a new dish chicken breast stuffed with black pudding and very nice it was too.
Chicken breast stuffed with black pudding … that does sound nice, anyone recommend a good recipe?
Got it wrong . It’s black pudding stuffed with black pudding – the great Saturday fry up …
Can’t see her at the next foyer BBQ at W1A. Even if they swap the hog roast for a blue tarp ovine slaughter to appease the ground floor cubicle gardens.
That word ‘intervention’ seems to be a catch all that is everywhere.

Just wait until joe public see his energy bill go up 200 – 300 – 400 – 500% over the next couple of years.
This is already happening pushed by the green zealots in Australia who have ditched fossil fuel with maniac zeal, blown up all their coal power stations and people are now having to switch everything off to survive.
The OZ government are now pushing forcing remote control of everyones energy consumption with smart devices that will allow the electricity generation companies to switch your electricity off on a home by home basis at will if they get overloaded.

They are now so rich that they can buy all the cups and trophies they want.
I wonder if they (Saudis) will be making any changes such as no bacon butties to be sold at the ground or if they can influence the FA, cut a hand off for handball.
Wait til they find out that wind farms upset the weather more than any amount of gas humans put out …. Or that the pesky volcano in la palma is adding to gases more than we ever could ….
…..not real science is it ? They were celebrating that the 1st weather satellite was something like 50 years old – which is a splash in the ocean of time ….
If they put enough wind turbines in the North Sea can it create a ‘shadow’ that deprives Scandinavia and Holland?
I’ve said it before but they changed Global Warming into Climate Change because the science was so settled that they had to allow for hot or cold. What if ‘change’ is overcast, static clouds? No sun, no wind.
Ha ha ha. It’s a no lose situation for climatistas.
Gorges Dam Earth Rotation
Terrestrial impact
In 2005, NASA scientists calculated that the shift of water mass stored by the dams would increase the total length of the Earth’s day by 0.06 microseconds and make the Earth slightly more round in the middle and flat on the poles.
The spinning of the Earth causes day to turn to night, while the full rotation/the revolution of the Earth causes summer to become winter. Combined, the spinning and the revolution of the Earth causes our daily weather and global climate by affecting wind direction, temperature, ocean currents and precipitation.22 Nov 2019

A government refusal to publish a report on the funding of UK Islamist extremist groups has been criticised.
The home secretary has issued a two-page summary which concluded most organisations were funded via small, anonymous British-based donations.
Amber Rudd said she had decided to do so for national security reasons.
Opposition parties claimed the internal review was being “suppressed” to protect Saudi Arabia which has been accused of being a source of funding.

Just wasting time reading the last threatening letter to my moved-away elderly neighbour, they spout that they ‘visit around 8,000 addresses a day’.
The number is ‘asterisked’ to mention that this number was based on annual visits (made between 2017 and 2019), and available working hours in a week.
So they don’t ‘visit’ during weekends then, and what a sad representation of figures from nearly four years ago! And during the covids?
I certainly didn’t notice any visitors recently, so they’re telling lies as usual.
Had our elderly friend have been approached like this when she still lived at the house, I’d have recommended that she ring me immediately, and we’d make suitable ‘representation’, perhaps with a baseball bat or similar item, and I also have a machete ready if these scummy parasites are of the hand-cutting race.

Eyes to the east for slavery ….
Slavery in the Ottoman Empire was a legal and significant part of the Ottoman Empire’s economy and traditional society.[1] The main sources of slaves were wars and politically organized enslavement expeditions in Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Caucasus. It has been reported that the selling price of slaves decreased after large military operations.[2] In Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), the administrative and political center of the Ottoman Empire, about a fifth of the 16th- and 17th-century population consisted of slaves.[3] Customs statistics of these centuries suggest that Istanbul’s additional slave imports from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1453 to 1700.[4]

A Polish Court Ruling Enrages the EU, but a ‘Polexit’ Remains Unlikely
A ruling by Poland’s top court questioning the primacy of EU law could trigger severe financial and political penalties from Brussels, but it won’t cause Warsaw to exit the bloc. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal ruled on Oct. 7 that the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) does not have the power to interfere with the Polish government’s decisions on the judiciary. It also said that the Polish constitution takes precedence over EU laws on issues not explicitly delegated by member states to the bloc, such as the internal organization of the judiciary.
• The ruling was a reply to a question submitted by the Polish government over whether the CJEU had the power to meddle with the government’s reforms of the judiciary. Earlier this year, the CJEU ruled that some of Poland’s reforms weaken the Polish judiciary’s independence and violate EU rules, and asked Warsaw to withdraw them.
• On Oct. 7, Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said that the ruling “confirmed the primacy of the Polish Constitution over EU law and political judgments of the CJEU,” and that it had “set the constitutional limits of European integration and permissible EU interference in Polish cases.”
• In recent years, the European Commission and several EU member states have accused the Polish government of increasing control over the country’s judiciary. The Polish government argues that the reforms are meant to reduce inefficiency and corruption in the judiciary. Brussels has also accused Warsaw of increasing political pressure on independent media and restricting LGTBQ rights in the country.
The ruling alone does not immediately change Poland’s situation in the EU; Warsaw will have room to decide when, how and if to challenge EU decisions and rules. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal’s ruling marks a sharp escalation of EU-Poland disputes because the Polish court is challenging two of the pillars of the EU legal order: the supremacy of EU law over national law and the supremacy of the CJEU over national courts. However, the actual violation of EU rules will happen only if the Polish government uses the ruling to ignore decisions by the CJEU or the European Commission. Warsaw could use the threat of ignoring EU law as leverage in its negotiations with the European Union over issues ranging from Poland’s controversial judiciary reforms to the approval of EU grants and loans to help Warsaw cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The Constitutional Tribunal’s ruling will only enter into force after the Polish government publishes it in the official journal, which gives Warsaw some time to plan its next steps.
• Over the decades, constitutional courts in countries such as Germany and Italy have also questioned the supremacy of EU law over national law. However, these cases did not create any meaningful problems because Berlin and Rome chose to comply with EU rules and CJEU rulings despite the position of their own courts.
In the coming weeks, the European Commission could freeze funding and try to politically isolate Poland, but any decisions on the country’s EU membership will ultimately be in Warsaw’s hands. In retaliation for Warsaw’s challenges of EU principles, the European Commission could suspend the delivery of billions of euros in cohesion and agricultural funds slated for Poland in the EU budget. Brussels could also continue to delay the approval of Warsaw’s plans to spend billions of euros in funds from the European Union’s COVID-19 recovery fund. The commission could ask to suspend Warsaw’s voting rights in the European Council as well, though this would require unanimous support from the remaining member states (and some Central and Eastern European governments may block such a request in solidarity with Poland). But while each of these actions would be painful for Poland, the European Commission does not have the power to expel Warsaw from the bloc. According to the EU treaties, countries can leave the bloc if they choose to (as the United Kingdom did in 2020), but the European Union cannot oust any member states. As a result, Poland’s exit from the bloc would only happen if Warsaw’s political and economic isolation becomes so severe that the Polish government decides to leave on its own accord. The freezing of EU funding would bring Poland closer to such a scenario, though it would take several years for the economic pain to materialize. Moreover, most Polish voters support EU membership, meaning Poland’s next general election (which is scheduled for mid-2023) could yield a more pro-EU government that reduces the chances of a so-called “Polexit.”
• In response to the Polish court ruling, the European Commission issued a statement on Oct. 7 that it would “not hesitate to make use of its powers under the treaties to safeguard the uniform application and integrity of Union law.”
• On Oct. 8, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said Poland must “fully and completely” implement EU law. French European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune also condemned the Polish tribunal’s ruling as an “attack against the EU.”
• In an Oct. 8 Facebook post, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote that “Poland’s place is and will be in the European family of nations” and described Poland’s 2004 entry into the European Union as “one of the highlights of the last decades.”

Stew, years ago I remember watching a documentary about indigenous girls (‘American Indians’) in Canada, who were being systematically targeted and groomed by ‘mostly’ white men.
It followed the tragic death of a young indigenous girl (can’t recall her name), but was quite shocking at the time. One of the things I recall about the doc. were people saying there was an equally big problem across the border in the US which goes unreported.
It seemed to be a deep rooted ‘cultural’ thing among a minority of ‘rednecks’, with a strong racist streak, who saw such girls as ‘expendable’ and ‘worthless’. Hadn’t put two and two together, but there are a lot of similarities with the Rotherham etc… grooming gangs, a similar ‘cultural’/’racist’ belief that such girls were of no value and it was okay to abuse them.
Whatever happened to that report commissioned by Javid? Boris apparently thought the (factual) findings in it weren’t good for ‘community relations’…. says it all really, just confirms there is at least a subset of one ‘community’ in this country which doesn’t see anything wrong with grooming and abusing underage, working class, white girls.
