Parliament returns. How will the BBC cover the political reaction to the killing of one of their colleagues ? Or the threat to the safety of everyone by failing to control who gets into the UK ?

The BBC News website homepage is basically a BBC staff Facebook page.
It has currently got Marianna Spring moaning about some abuse she once got without showing us evidence and now George Alagiah takes a break from TV.
Just need a piece about a BBC journalist’s toddler doing their first poo in a potty now…
Lucky old beeb can now deflect away from Islamic terror to Colin Powell.
Added bonus: he was black.
Expect massive coverage.
He was black ? Doesn’t look like it from his later photos and his denunciation of the Republican party will not go unnoticed by the BBC.
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/colin-powell-no-longer-republican-cnntv/index.html
The truth is that he was mixed race, although the BBC and the lefts absolute hatred of White people will lead to any White ancestry being completely ignored.
TWatO Watch #1 – in which Jonny does not engage brain
Jonny Dymond was sub presenter this lunchtime, I hope the Montacutie is just on holiday (another one – these Beeboids like their hols!) and is not unwell. Various things were taxing the poor lad’s brain, covering each item in turn, dealing with unexpected (eg. death of Colin Powell) and running to time while trying to talk fluidly and fluently or fluently and fluidly. Not easy for our Jonny, that.
Rising UK Covid numbers was item No.2 on Jonny’s running order. He didn’t have the nous to ask “Is the UK being deliberately infected?”. He had Professor Andrew Hayward available to answer that question. The good Prof is a member of SAGE and Prof at University College London where he is an expert on infectious disease but was only speaking in a personal capacity.
Personal capacity – that may explain why the Prof was talking a load of rubbish about vaccines. Perhaps Jonny and the BBC should have booked a vaccine expert instead? Prof Hayward made the remarkable claim that all vaccines wear off over time. Really? I’ve never heard that one before. How many 25 year olds are called in for their annual polio or MMR booster? I’ve been offered influenza vaccines every year but that is more down to the virus mutating than the ineffectiveness (which happens more than people think) of influenza vaccines.
Jonny Dymond was not sharp enough to counter question but then, sadly, I guess the Montacutie would not have spotted it either. Oh, hang on …. maybe she would, she is a mother of children. Mums can be really smart.
A degree of irony at play.
Also hale and hearty, unlike the poor soul recently assassinated.
Rallying the boys.
Not blonde.
Lots of names abound.
‘Specialist misinformation senior reporter’ being but one.
As ‘Specialist misinformation senior reporter’ I can’t think of a better place for her to work.
Staying off it would be an idea.
But in an age of equality and well paid journalists like Marianne…..why should men be protected in any less of a way?
And Preston has no idea what he is talking about.
I saw that Marianna whinge and was tempted to do a Web-site Watch. I note that Marianna does not mention how much abuse she gets for not doing her job properly and any abuse for doing it in a very selective and biased way. Come on Marianna, spring into action on a few of the things we think are are wrong with the world and we’ll sing your praises to the rooftops.
If she wanted to do that, she wouldn’t have got the job.
Should, yes.
Could, absolutely incapable of not.

How long before we hear our first politician declare that the islamist murder of David Amess has nothing to do with islam, which is a religion of peace?
Remember Obama, who trotted out the mantra after every terror attack?
Or Theresa May? Or, most recently, Stella Creasy?
Maybe they’ll quote, out of context, some mildly peaceful verse from the quran, failing to mention that the earlier peaceful verses (when Muhammad had no military power) are always abrogated by the later violent ones, when he had the might to wage unprovoked war on any and all infidels.
(The principle of abrogation means that later pronouncements supersede earlier ones.)
https://thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx
Meanwhile, the worldwide slaughter continues apace.

“the earlier peaceful verses (when Muhammad had no military power) are always abrogated by the later violent ones”
Don’t tell me that ‘Alan’ of the ‘snack bar’ fame changed his mind? Kind of kills the ‘all knowing’ argument doesn’t it?
(The Jewish version isn’t much better, I tied up a Jehovah’s Witness once by picking up on Numbers in the Old Testament. A couple of uppity daughters had the elders popping up a mountain a few times before Big G agreed that they should inherit their dead dad’s cut. Again, being ‘all knowing’ shouldn’t he/she/ze have anticipated the question?).
Muhammad frequently altered his teachings, sometimes based on the latest ‘revelations’ he’d received.
Often these fortuitously happened to conform to his own earthly desires and proclivities, not least in sexual matters.
To such an extent that his child bride Aisha commented sarcastically: (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires”
Yes, Allah was extremely interested in, and accommodating of, his Messenger’s sexual arrangements, some of which would make a sailor blush.
Here’s the cheeky chappy suspected of murdering David Amass.
According to the Sun, he may have been radicalised by Anjem Choudary – he who made a mockery of our legal system and security services for years.
The BBC remain slightly behind the curve on the story, despite your £5 billion.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16450798/david-amess-murder-suspect-radicalise-anjem-choudary/
And you can guarantee that the footballers at the weekend still took the knee…..
Poor chap, he was radicalized. Surely there is a vaccine for that?
12th October video on TV licence cancellations
The best way to force the BBC to become subscription funded only is just to stop paying the LF without bothering to inform them .
Luckily Matt, Boris, Krankie, Justin, Rog, Greta, Chas, Wills , Barry will soon arrive by various second hand means of transport.
I heard some green apostle saying that their cop thing was never meant to bring anything new.
It was just to be an ‘ mot’ check …
Well thats okay then . With a bit of luck nothing will come of it and the chinese will be busy building more coal powered generators for the benefit of their people …. 30plus percent of CO2 output and rising …
Baby names stats .. press claim #1 is Oliver
“Muhammad was top in four regions of England and Arthur in three regions.”
From BBC website;
“Variations included Muhammad, Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamad, Muhamed, Mohamud, Mohummad, Mohummed, Mouhamed, Mohammod and Mouhamad. However the ONS treats each spelling of a name separately …”
The most popular just happens to be the Muhammad way of spelling it, but when you add them all up it’s by far the top of the list.
Top for the eleventh year now.
Last year was : Total Oliver = 4,392
Total Muhammad/Mohammed/Mohammad = 6,163.
RANK NAME TALLY
1 OLIVER 4,225
5 MUHAMMAD 3,710
32 MOHAMMED 1,615
74 MOHAMMAD 751
92 OLLIE 633
So Oliver +Ollie = 4858
way less than Those 3 top versions of Mohammad that make 6076
(short names like Mo, Mhd seem to have been excluded, from the data, but they do exist)
4 NOAH 4,042 (that could be both Biblical and Koran derived)
93 YUSUF 620
98 IBRAHIM 591
Oh hyphenated names seem excluded too
eg Muhammad-Ali not included
seems to me Ali has been excluded too ..cos short name
but Ahmed/Ahmad not ranked in top 100 ? is that true ?
Amazon offers bonuses of up to £3,000 in run-up to Christmas
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58954976
Of course the bbc just run the story without any small print details of what the conditions are to actually get the bonus.
Guessing it isn’t so easy.
I listened to the speeches in tribute to Sir David Amess . Twitter has celebrated that of Mark Francios who wants a ‘davids’ law to ‘outlaw online abuse ‘ .
So further restrictions in freedom of opinion and speech is on the way – in a good cause of course . … those restrictions always are.
What that idea has to do with slaughter by an islamic terrorist – i really dont know – and MPs dont know either …
The Trick, BBC 1, 8.30pm: What the BBC doesn’t want you to know
Tree rings do not show the medieval warm period seen in 485 other papers, or any warming after 1960. So to “HIDE THE DECLINE” in temperature seen in tree rings, the ”TRICK” was to hide the decline by substitution of tree ring data by thermometer data from 1960. With the scientific fraud before 1960, the thermometer data from 1960 gave the desired “HOCKEY STICK” shape.
It was Phil Jones who suggested that they use “MIKE’S NATURE TRICK” to “HIDE THE DECLINE”. Which refers to the fact that Michael Mann also used “The Trick” to impress the IPCC into using the fraudulent Hockey Stick graph.
The scientific fraud used assumptions that thin tree rings were caused by cold weather. But Isotopic evidence in tree rings showed that the temperature does not determine the width of tree rings. Climategate emails, hacked or leaked by an insider, verified that the tree ring data would not show the upturn in temperature after 1960. In fact, they showed a decline. So the contrivers said, “Hide the Decline” by replacing it with grafted on thermometer measurements. Also, the reason that the temperature does not determine the width of tree rings is that sometimes the tree rings are thin because of hot droughts, as well as the assumed cold used in the Hockey stick. Isotopic evidence showed that many of Mann’s assumptions for tree rings were wrong, and therefore constitute evidence for scientific fraud.
So the nature of the “scientific fraud” is that the hottest years are depicted as cold years in the Hockey Stick, except after 1960.
“The Trick” being “scientific fraud” produced to show fools, morons, crooks and brainwashed schoolgirls “WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE”
It also reminds me of a working class Labour MP, who said something like, Labour has been taken over by middle class morons, and the Tories are run by middle class crooks.
As to whether it was a hack or a leak. The emails were released onto the internet on 19th November 2009. Before this, on 21st February 2005, Phil Jones sent a letter to Australian Climatologist, Warrick Hughes, saying “We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?”
So someone thought there was something wrong with the data before the hack or leak.
But then anyone can go to the forests were the data was obtained, and chop down trees, obtain and look at the tree rings and find out what was wrong with the data.
Writer, Mark Steyn has skin in this game.
Maybe, if they just knelt, behind closed doors, with Fick Ange and that Traumatised Slave Owner Descendant of Color commentating?
Son has made a Channel 4 doco about his father being the first black police officer in Yorkshire
So of course both local BBC and ITV have long items promoting it.
If I hadn’t been intensely forcefed this subject continuously for the last 2(?seems much, much longer) years, I might actually be interested in such a documentary.
Bill might well have been a lovely chap, and quite possibly a fantastic police officer (and later in life he would, presumably have been ‘Old Bill’).
However, at this point in time, with all the water that’s passed under that bridge, I’d rather gnaw my own testes off than be forced to watch it.
Further to my last about the commemoration of Sir David Amess . MPs think that adverse comments and threats against them can be banned – turned into crimes – and that people using the internet must always be identifiable ….
Yet their own words and conduct causes a lot of fire in the first place – for instance – the last traitor parliament and the former speaker busily stacking up hate – quite rightly in my view.
They seem to think everything is going to become nice now . Even if the swamp was to behave better there will still be an army of Islamic murderers imported via laws approved by those Politicians …..
Advice to all these celebs that go on and on and on about abusive tweets, stay off twitter, easy peasy!
One Show, where are white presenters, none I can see?
Also going on about most popular boys name, as usual not mentioning it is really Mohamed.
Nigel Farage tonight on GB News, the first politician I’ve heard calling out the Amess killing for what it really is, Islamic terrorism.
He’s the only one with the guts to tell it how it is.
His guest, a muslim, came out with a lot of sense and some truths about Islam which I’ve also never heard on the msm.
Well done Nigel (and guest)
They’ll be counting the complaints from the mosques at OFCOM by now – and cue a labour mouth ….
And of course emails and messages will be going out to get others who never even saw it to complain.
On a different point, thought similar; does anyone remember Channel 4’s (I’m being serious!) Muslim survey a way back, maybe in 2004? When the results were simply shocking; as in 40-50% thought the UK was evil, wanted Sharia Law, believed in stoning LGBTs, etc?
Even then, the shower at Channel 4 were still putting out good journalism, nowadays it’s simply awful.
The Lotus Eaters have had a good discussion about moslem terrrorism.

Look, please don’t take this the wrong way, but…
Much as I’m horrified at the dreadful murder of the MP, should we really be all that surprised?
This has been coming for ages and the powers that be are still in a state of (pretend) denial.
I heard Dr Liam Fox being interviewed by Julia Hartley Brewer this morning. She asked him about us importing this sort of terrorism. The good doctor didn’t agree. “He was born here” he immediately countered. Okay, perhaps he was. However, as the late, great Bernard Manning once observed, “If my cat gave birth to kittens in a stable would you think they were horses?”
If you take a gander close to Parliament you’ll soon see how aware they are of the real danger. There are bollards, massive iron gates and huge concrete blocks everywhere. It’s hideous. They know the dangers all right.
Yes, the murder of a thoroughly decent man is tragic, but it doesn’t compare to the wanton slaughter of 22 kids at a Manchester pop concert.
And what did they want us to do then?
A couple of verses of Don’t look Back in Anger…
Mastermind on just now, contestant answering questions on Margaret Thatcher, Myrie cannot contain himself from saying her name like a curse. Bame left wing twat!
As Mark Steyn said:
“My own preference is that, if free countries have to have unsightly security controls, why don’t they have them around the national borders rather than around every single thing inside those borders?”
Further to the above, the Maggie Thatcher chap was winning, till Myrie accepted the last contestants answer to give her 20 points, biased, bame left wing twat!

Bus lane camera mistakes woman’s sweater for number plate
Oh, how we laughed. Actually no, I also know this particular ‘bus lane camera’ from bitter personal experience, and it’s the most cynically placed, cash cow, money generating, greedy cvnt (excuse my language) of a traffic camera I’ve ever come across.
Hard to explain to those who don’t know Bath well, but a road that used to be one of the few ‘rat runs’ through the city centre (for many a year), was suddenly (and with no notice for those who don’t actually live in the ‘city’) turned into a ‘bus lane’, with no access for other vehicles.
Being Bath the signs warning you that you’re entering the bus lane (one approach down a one way street) consist solely of a couple of unobtrusive little, waist high signs which are usually concealed behind parked cars, and markings on the road, which are also usually concealed under a bus at the bus stop! By the time you know you’re in the bus lane, it’s too late, you can’t turn around and wham, you’re being sent a fine for £120, plus costs.
Don’t think I know many drivers locally who haven’t been caught out by it, it’s notorious, and any complaints to the City Council get a snotty response and demand to pay up, or be pursued through the courts with additional costs.
This is the same City Council which got rid of the best park and ride (and only one accessible from the south of the city) and which is in the process of phasing in a vehicle ban for parts of the city, starting with commercial vehicles and taxis, the ‘fines’ from which are pursued with extreme prejudice, you could almost say ‘religious zeal’:
https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/bath-clean-air-zone
This may be resulting in ‘cleaner air’ for Bath city centre, but most of the local towns, villages, and (potholed) country lanes, are reporting massively increased traffic, traffic jams, pollution, accidents etc…
Meanwhile, the businesses in the city centre, dependent on tourists (and deliveries) aren’t too happy either, especially with the blight of Covid over the last 18 months (recall Starmer and the Bath landlord? There were a number of reasons why he wasn’t a very happy man.)
The BBC supports Bath City Council of course, I’ve read a number of articles with a generally praising tone on the BBC website, and I’m sure they would like to see similar schemes rolled out throughout the UK as part of their ‘Green Agenda’.
The poor visitor driving north-bound comes up against a ‘bus gate’ so turns right, heading East. At the next junction the choice is turn South or go straight-ahead. Turning South is silly, because that is where you have just come from.
Chances are that there is a double-decker bus in front of you, quite a relief as it turns right, allowing you to go straight ahead because your map/GPS tells you that leads directly to the main route out of Bath.
Unfortunately that bus concealed the solitary warning sign so, as BBC says, that way also leads directly to a fine.
JimS, I see you’ve been there too! The entire situation feels very much like a carefully constructed ‘trap’ to part a motorist from their money, by the time you realise what’s happening it’s too late to escape.
Lots and lots more of that to come when funding is cut.
The trick round our way is to change 40mph zones to 30mph and remove the small signs from the lamposts.
Then police it like crazy and get everyone for speeding who doesn’t realise and is used to it being 40mph for years.
Fines : the new taxation.

Another barmpot council, another whopping majority; this time it’s militant Labour.
This is straight-up mockery and the least surprising aspect is they think they’re being clever, which clearly they are not. The only response I can summon is pity, not only for their unbridled ignorance and lack of intellectual integrity, but for our poor, frayed culture (or what’s left of it).
Congratulations to Dan Wootton of GB News for being the only broadcaster (that I’ve heard) to dare address the topic: Islamic Extremism Must Be Discussed.
He even poured scorn on Emir Khan’s weasel words that David Amess had “passed away”, as if he’d died peacefully in his sleep and not from a savage frenzy of 17 stabwounds.
At time of writing the GB News panel are having a serious, lively and vital debate on the subject, unlike every other broadcaster, most of all the BBC who are just coming out with the usual sentimental guff we get after every new act of Islamic terrorism.
Well done GB News, for some honest and brave reporting.
Sadly, the panel has now been replaced by an extremely aggressive Muslim apologist who’s trotting out the usual lie that this has nothing to do with Islam, and, frankly, our Dan is a bit out of his depth. He needs a specialist on Islam to fight his corner.
But at least he raised the subject.

Stephen: The Murder That Changed a Nation,
Oh, Stephen Lawrence, I thought it must be time for another look at the case.
I haven’t heard anything about him…for days…
In the meantime the story of the 14 year old white boy murdered by a bunch of third worlders has now left the front page. It should run for at least 20 years and his mother should be made a baroness. Also, as in the lawrence case, if these savages are found not guilty, the law must be changed to allow as many retrials as you like. Much as I sympathise with the tragic loss of a fine MP, the theory that “We are the great and the good and no harm will come to us” has now been thoroughly disproved. The elites will learn the hard way that they are no safer than you or I.
Re the Mariana BBCPanorama prog
they claimed : Social media giants promote misogynistic content to users despite pledging to do more to tackle online abuse.
That seems the normal BBC trick of having a simplistic victim narrative
‘ALL women get masses of abuse
.. ALL men are OK’
That’s BS didfferent
– people get different levels of abuse
– the way they react to influence trolls (taing offence does provoke the trolls more etc.)
– Different people take it it differently ..some people worrying about minor things, whilst other people get masses of abuse yet laugh it off
On Twitter a Tory just mentioned abuse she’d got
It is worrying that BBCpanorama worked with Center for Countering Digital Hate
… which looks like a one man Labour front to me
The kind of people that don’t care that righties get milkshaked and physically attackecd.
‘Milkshaking’ is nothing less than terrorism. They guy getting it has no idea what was just thrown over him and for a brief moment he will be wondering if it was acid.
Anyone doing it should get 6 months inside.
But as it’s done by the nasty Left, the BBC turn a blind eye. The agenda is more important.
I’m still waiting for the police investigation of Jo Brand (as called for by Nigel Farage) for suggesting battery acid be thrown over Brexit-supporting politicians. This was over two years ago, but hasn’t and won’t be forgotten by those of us with a sense of fairness and human decency.
We should be thanking the disgusting creature. She is a useful case for highlighting the extreme hypocrisy of the BBC.
A lot of what gets called ‘misogyny’ and ‘racism’ in these cases doesn’t seem to amount to much when you look into it.
A joke about women’s driving, or weight might be ‘bad taste’ and ‘lazy and inaccurate stereotyping’, but it is not ‘misogynistic’ or inspired by ‘hate’, any more than a joke about men being obsessed with football, or having beer bellies is misandrist and inspired by hate.
Bad taste and posting stupid (‘trollish’) comments online, should never be a crime, real, genuine misogyny (‘kill all women’), racism (‘kill all whitees’), death threats etc… probably should though.
The following question is only indirectly related to the BBC.
Now we know that Youtube (Google owned) has become woke and will tend not to allow any criticism of the BBC on its platform (presumably due to a team of BBC lawyers supervising and in contact with the Youtube team). So I have been exploring an alternative video uploading platform called BITCHUTE.
However I find BITCHUTE completely filled with either trolls or nutters that are ONLY interested in pushing Conspiracy Theories. They are not interested in criticism of the BBC they seem only interested in linking everything to evil Jews, or Freemasons, or Luciferians. They seem obsessed with New World Order conspiracy theories, obsessed with 9/11, obsessed with killer vaccines.
Has anybody any thoughts on Bitchute and alternatives to Youtube?
Broadcasting-on-Behalf-of-the-Caliphate
I’d agree with your assessment of the alternate video archiving + streaming services.
YouTube was the first to market in volume and at one stage as I heard it more video was uploaded in a day than could be watched in a waking lifetime… It’s a behemoth. The other platforms are small things scuttling around feeding on the scraps… The simple logistics are in Alphabet’s favour.
Problem is – as the platform has developed the marketeers and the ideologues have inveigled themselves into controlling the content and since it’s the only game in town – they feel little need to engage with either content providers or indeed the audience… I suspect that the politics / ideology has crept in at least in part by craven playing of the regulators (i.e. the politicians) as YouTube could have trivially crushed Netflix or Spotify etcetera – but they’d be into monopoly / RICO territory.
It’s going to take some time for the small outfits to catch up -locals.com and substack are signs that people are voting with their feet / debit cards …
YouTube’s sheer size and diversity of content makes them – in my opinion – a public utility – and they should be regulated as such. One thing that truly grates is their steadfast refusal to elaborate on take-downs and the sorry procession of content providers who’ve been nuked without explanation is a testament to their high handed arbitrariness. If I’ve heard one content provider saying “what did I do?” – I now must have heard a dozen….
What has happened is that they’ve captured neutered the regulators and have been very careful not to trigger any overt monopoly tripwires and some people have been weaponising the YouTube ecosystem for political ends – it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
YouTube have been quite careful about skating on thin ice – but as it stands, I feel that the only people who know the extents of their manipulations are senior Alphabet executives.
Content delivery is on an individually tailored basis.
The BBC have wet dreams about that sort of thing.

Heat pump grants worth £5,000 to kickstart low carbon heating
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-5895904
“What is a heat pump ?
Heat pumps extract warmth from the air, the ground, or water – a bit like a fridge operating in reverse.”
😀😃😄😁
“They are powered by electricity, so if you have a low-carbon source of electricity they provide greener heating.”
“One energy firm, Octopus Energy, said initially it expected homeowners would contribute around £2,500 to the cost of installing a heat pump, roughly equivalent to the cost of a new gas boiler. The government subsidy would cover the rest of the cost.”
Assuming the government might actually pay the “grant” … – that isn’t a given if the evidence of the Green Homes mess run by a sort of American Crapita is anything to go by…
The Guardian has done a fair job of collecting evidence of government botching and worse
No word on how much they’ve spaffed on administration vs. actual jobs completed…. that reticence likely hides some grisly detail.
I had a quote for replacing a 17 year old Worcester gas boiler for a 4 bedroom house.
Boiler like for like replacement (supply & fit) £2,800.
Air source heat pump and associated coffin water storage tanks £12,350 less govt grant of £7,500 = £4,850.
And they said that the level of heat might not be as high, and I may need larger radiators in certain rooms.
I also recall when the combi boiler was fitted all those years ago, that the home insurance had a tiny reduction for no stored water. Presumably that will translate to a huge increase.
Our kids’ cars are significantly newer than ours.
We all keep ours well maintained and, hopefully, no issues.
However both have had issues with warning lights coming on regarding engine management systems with manuals suggesting dire consequences if not immediately taking in.
It seems this is a new thing do do with emissions. After a couple of daft sensors at £100 we looked into it and all with car savvy say ignore it as it is them being fooled by anything from fuel quality to petrol cap tightness.
A garage also waved it off but suggested a few longer trips at higher revs.
So… more ‘eco’ that isn’t costing money and planet.
Two problems with ‘engine management’ warning lights:
1. Garages haven’t got a clue what they mean.
2. They are an MOT failure item, which still applies even if you nominally have 11 months 20 days to go.
30 years ago we got central heating and a combi boiler, we got rid of the cold water and hot water tanks, with heat pumps we will have to find room to fit new tanks.

Households to get £5,000 to help ditch gas boilers
Two engineers installing a heat pump in Folkestone
Heating buildings accounts for 21% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. And the prime minister has set a target of 2035 for phasing out new carbon-emitting gas boilers, which currently heat more than three-quarters of homes. But low-carbon heat pumps, which extract warmth from the air, the ground, or water, cost between £6,000 and £18,000, depending on their type and the size of a property. So the government says it will offer £5,000 subsidies from next April. “As the technology improves and costs plummet over the next decade, we expect low-carbon heating systems will become the obvious, affordable choice for consumers,” says Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.
Heating industry figures have welcomed the move, part of a £3.9bn plan to reduce carbon emissions. The bulk will go on decarbonising public buildings, new heating systems and insulation in social housing and helping to provide clean heating networks for homes unsuitable for heat pumps. However, critics point out the heat-pump subsidy is limited to a maximum of 90,000 homes over three years. Environmental group Greenpeace says the strategy contains “unambitious policies and inadequate funding”. Shadow business secretary Ed Miliband describes it as “meagre, unambitious and wholly inadequate”, when compared with Labour’s pledge of £6bn a year for insulation and low-carbon heating.
Wondering whether you should get a heat pump – and how much it’d set you back? Here’s our explainer.

Always enjoy BBC ‘explanations’.
Labour and Tory PPE grads vying for BBC approval by trying to out spend public money on a small minority to be subsidised to look good on something expensive that in most cases cannot work sums up this state propaganda system perfectly.
We had a new boiler installed a while ago. I asked the engineer about heat pumps. He looked around our 17th century utility room and laughed.
A blonde Buffoon held to account to by a wibbling cretin and 20,000 arts grads serves this country ill.
“Welsh independence to be considered by commission”
“The new body, set up by Welsh Labour ministers, will look at how the current system of powers resting in Cardiff and London could change.”

Key words “Welsh Labour ministers” – They couldn’t run a bath ! Another waste of money.
I hope this fake snowballs into the Trudeau government feeling the need to send a missive to all government workers to the effect that “this is a fake”

What’s let’s go Brandon mean?
I’m guessing I’m the only person who doesn’t know😀
What does Let’s go Brandon mean?” https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16412875/what-does-lets-go-brandon-meme-mean/amp/
Hope this explains
Can we just get to the point
‘Let’s go Brandon ‘ means ‘eff joe Biden ‘ – and that’s it .
As obscure as language like ‘meme’ and ‘gas lighting ‘….
God I so prefer real language .
Yes and No.
The Brandon meme comes from the actions of the media that brought us ‘mostly peaceful protests’ against a backdrop of burning buildings.
Real language has been under threat for decades, helped again by ‘the media’, replaced by Orwellian Newspeak.
We all have to be signed up to ‘Inclusivity, Diversity and Equity’, roughly translated as ‘excludes white men, all women/all BAMEs and women/BAMEs get all the top jobs’.
One of the things impressed on me as a child was that it was easier to tell the truth, if you told a lie it ended up getting bigger and bigger as you tried to keep all the threads of the lie together.
So first they told us that Women needed ‘rights’, then it was Homosexuals, who were born ‘that way’ and it was a crime to suggest they could be ‘cured’. But now the female of the species can be a Man, Woman is without definition, Sex is now Gender and Gender can be male, female or any combination or none and can flip as the mood takes!
No, there is no real language now, we live in a world of Humpty Dumpty numpties.
Brandon is the second-largest city in the province of Manitoba, Canada. So I think it means that the variant “Lets go to Brandon” is banned by the Canadian Public Service, because someone in Brandon, Manitoba said “Lets go Brandon” which is banned because the authorities in Canada don’t like Donald Trump.
Not directly BBC related but comes from a highly regarded doctor about covid, someone the BBC would not invite on because the truth would make them uncomfortable.
Expert evaluation on adverse effects of the Pfizer-COVID-19 vaccination: https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org/frontline-news/expert-evaluation-on-adverse-effects-of-the-pfizer-Covid-19-vaccination. The author, Hervé Seligmann, has over 100 peer-reviewed international publications with 3932+ medical citations for his work and has made this evidence available for any legal challenges. The data shows that the risk of dying in the 2 weeks after the first injection for age 60+ is 15x the risk of dying for the unvaccinated of similar age.
Data from PHE showed that 70% of Covid deaths since February in the UK have been in the vaccinated (single or double combined). This is in stark contrast with recent government pronouncements which claim that it is the unvaccinated who are dying.

I see the David Amess murder has disappeared completely from the BBC news now. The story is now all about how upset his family are. People are being conditioned to be sad and sympathetic instead of demanding something be done about what has happened.
And the discussion has been switched to MP’s online abuse when in fact it has nothing at all to do with this murder.
No discussion about the very real and ongoing Islamic terrorist threat whatsoever.
It’s an absolute disgrace.
Meanwhile a lot more money will be spent beefing up security to stop it happening again to MP’s. They just won’t tell us about it. They hope the next attack will just be little people on the street. Their blood can be mopped up and the story suppressed to one small article for one day.
JohnC
Even when the next MP is attacked by a Muslim the subject will not be discussed …. I’m not sure what it will take – a ‘dirty bomb ?’ The killing of a member of the royal family ? A London version of 9/11?
I think the BBC ran more column inches and telly time on Jo Cox then Amess.
Can’t think why!
Why black black black ?
https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/national-and-regional-populations/population-of-england-and-wales/latest
1. Main facts and figures
according to the 2011 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 56.1 million, and 86.0% of the population was White
people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (at 7.5%), followed by Black ethnic groups (at 3.3%), Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups (at 2.2%) and Other ethnic groups (at 1.0%)
among the specific ethnic groups, people from the White British ethnic group made up the largest percentage of the population (at 80.5%), followed by Other White (4.4%) and Indian (2.5%)
from 2001 to 2011, the percentage of the population of England and Wales that was White British decreased from 87.4% to 80.5%, while the Other White group saw the largest increase in their share of the population, from 2.6% to 4.4%
the percentage of the population from a Black African background doubled from 0.9% in 2001 to 1.8% in 2011
Why do the BBC and adverts and TV obsess about 3.3 % of our population ? is it because they protest (riot) otherwise ?
How do the other ethnic minorities feel about this ? let alone the 86 % who keep the bbc funded
Population of England and Wales by ethnicity

2011 was a long time ago. I live by a secondary school. The mix of kids must be 30% black, 30% indian/pakistani and 40% white which includes plenty of Eastern Europeans.
How many people would have ignored this year’s census also? I live in Reading, which is swamped with foreigners, but where I work, ten miles away the population is 98% white British.
Plenty of murders, muggings and even a kidnapping at the weekend in Reading, it isn’t the place I was born in.

Immigration Enforcement – Enforcement Immigration Officer
the first paragraph:
Summary
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this endeavour since 1782. As such, the Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the United Kingdom. The Home Office mission is fundamentally important: to keep Britain’s streets safe and its borders secure. Every member of the Home Office plays a part in making that happen.
Immigration Enforcement is an operational command of the Home Office. It was set up on 1st April 2012. Immigration Enforcement is a professional law enforcement organisation that works with cross-Government partners and drives action across the Border, Immigration and Citizenship system. Immigration Enforcement’s vision is to reduce the size of the illegal population and the harm it causes; This vision is supported by 3 core objectives to:
Prevent migrants from entering the UK illegally and overstaying
Deal with threats associated with immigration offending
Encourage and enforce the return of illegal migrants from the UK
BBC Online News:
“Eric Zemmour: Far-right journalist cast as Macron election rival”
“Now, he says, France is being “submerged” by migrants, and parents should be forced to give their children “French names”.
“His speech in Béziers targeted France’s education system – “infiltrated by Marxism, anti-racism, and LGBT ideologies”, in his view.
“As for the French media, he dismissed them as “a propaganda machine that hates France”.
“Paid with your taxes, they constantly spit on you,” he said. “They spit on French history and culture, and they spit on the French people, whom they want to see disappear.”

I get the impression that our BBC don’t like him 😉
Here is the article about Sir David Amess links to Qatar and his open wish to receive money from them for his constituency, obviously they aren’t going to make the connection between the constituency and himself but it certainly does beg the questions.

Thoughtful – thanks for the link – I’m sure that story will be buried by the msm for all sorts of reasons – unless of course it becomes part of some defence case ….
The BBC talks about the need for ‘niceness’ . Which could easily be a laugh out loud thing if it were not in the context of the murder of a male white conservative MP by an Islamic killer .
Male -white – conservative – qualified for ‘hate ‘ in BBC world – for instance Trump / Cummings …
But perhaps we might hear less from certain BBC presenters for a while until normal service is resumed ….
I suppose trying to get hold of an MP will now be as difficult as getting a GP ….
