Anyone else on here think that the society has gone a bit bonkers.
When I was a lad…
A letter arrived in a white envelope with a stamp on it.
A pack of food told me what was inside and how much it weighed and cost.
Meat was cut to size and wrapped in paper for me.
Liquids came mostly in glass bottles or tin cans, some of which were returnable and all of which could be used again in manufacture.
TV and Radio programs tried to entertain or inform me.
Humans were either one of two genders.
Now…
A letter will probably tell me how the paper abides by some sort of sustainability code.
A pack of food will tell me whether it is likely to make me fat or not.
Meat comes in a shrink-wrap plastic shroud.
Liquids come mostly in plastic containers where the container probably costs more than the product.
TV and radio programs are mostly either propaganda or to provide jobs for the elite.
Humans are mostly an alien species of crazies.
I know which society I would rather be in!
Must be older than you as ‘when I was a lad’ people came in one of two sexes, gender was reserved for nouns.
🙂
When I was at school I was taught that sex is where people of either gender come from. Oh, and animals, birds and insects, too unless hermaphrodites.
Yesterday’s local ITV news had picked up a story from October 20th Daily Express
(A publication which is heavily linked to green-subsidy baron Dale Vince)
“23 Football stadiums at risk of flooding in 30 years – is your teams one of them? ”
FFS look at the way the waves are supposed to reach the Tower Bridge high walking deck
Being Green it’s not an actual NEWS story
ie something that is NEW
It’s recycled from June 20th 2020
Sports will be majorly impacted by climate change in next 3 decades:
– a quarter of English league football grounds at risk from flooding every season
One in three British Open golf courses will be damaged by rising sea levels.
See Playing Against the Clock by @RapidTransition
https://www.rapidtransition.org/resources/playing-against-the-clock/
The analysis seems incredibly naive
“Ah the stadium sits near sea level so it will flood
.. and the clubs are so stupid they will not make any drainage plans
And some of these clubs have ongoing plans to move location (a property investment thing rather than global warming), but we will ignore all that”
In fact many football stadiums sit on land that is RECLAIMED from the sea or floodplains
eg the list includes Scunthorpe United’s ground
… Sure that land flooded in 1951 cos its in the floodplain in the tidal part of the Trent
However after that they topped up the banks
And these days there are ongoing projects to improve resilience
Flood lakes are being dug.
Oh and the idea that Scunthorpe will have a league football club in the future is naive
Have you seen the league table ?

One of the longest running pantomimes in the world. The Mousetrap has nothing on climate doomsdayism.
Pope meets a dope
Correction: Dope meets Dope.
They sing from the same hymn sheet. Two uber-woke socialist globalists. Both fake Catholics. One’s a fake President, the other a fake Pope.
Has anyone noticed that the pope and Woody Allen have never been spotted together?
Photo Ops are OK but since they can’t relocate Joe’s big screen to the Vatican for him to try and read – no speechofying….
elsewhere
Tucker skewers them as usual – trouble is “they” seem intent on bringing on a revolt?
Excellent. We need a Tucker. Or two.
1pm news a strange headline
“If we had counted Covid cases last week, they would have been very high, the higehst ever
but now in the last few days cases have fallen”
Today’s stats aren’t out but I expect 150 deaths as deaths have been slowly rising.
Each death seems to reflect vulnerable person not being protected properly.
eg as Covis leaks into a hospital ward.
Are Dominium counting the stats though? Maybe they lost the box under the table!
They have published a 10 point plan for impartiality under Tim Davie. (Apologies if already discussed)
I’m not hopeful but would be delighted if they did become impartial/fair. I liked the bbc and still love its excellent orchestras etc.
But the article on the website just goes on about the Diana interview – no mention of the massive anti-Brexit bias. And it sort of excuses nasty left-wing comedy (the like of which would be rated as hate-speech or encouraging hate crimes if done by a non-leftie ‘comedian’).
So not much hope.
Thread
be useful if PJW named the retailer concerned – it’s John Lewis = no surprise – if it’s another then I’d argue we need to know.
Coincidence
Oct 27th “John Lewis Insurance pulls controversial ad after UK Financial Conduct Authority deemed it misleading.
JLI Statement: “… accidental cover is available as an add-on to John Lewis’ new home contents insurance
and only covers accidental (not deliberate) damage.”
The ad with the boy dressed as a girl smashing up the house.
Facebook says it’s “spending and doing more than any other tech company” on safety.

Facebook was where Pakistan could debate religion. Now it’s a tool to punish ‘blasphemers’
This article is more than 4 years old
Laws that criminalize insulting Islam have led to a death sentence for posts, as activists worry Facebook’s commitment to Pakistanis’ ‘voice’ is mostly lip service
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/19/facebook-pakistan-blasphemy-laws-censorship
Thursday’s Hull Look North : another Black History Month item
It is highly unlikely that a football manager would receive abuse
..no of course they get abuse and people will pick on whatever attribute eg them being fat or mixed-race etc ?
Meanwhile is the team do well, you probably get too much praise.
The item about the guy who says he just shouted at the Grimsby MP’s CCTV camera
didn’t say that, instead it was ramped up with pictures of Jo Cox and words from her sister.
Next item “The gypsy who won a VC during in 1917”
That’s a misprint, it should read:
“The gypsy who run off with Vauxhall Corsa at 19:17 “
The BBC has a new daily radio serial about Climategate next week
Yet again they call it a proven “hack”
Have they been tricky ?
Yes, although episode #1 is dated 1st of November, they have already put the audio online up and ep2
and also given their favourite activist orgs a headsup.
You can see from who has already tweeted promotion
I read the original release and there was definitely an attempt to alter the findings. “When the data doesn’t fit the theory, change the data”
Few graphs are as well known as Michael Mann’s hockey stick graph – showing, essentially, there was no warming in the history of the globe right up until the blade of the stick forms, shooting up global temperature in the last century.
Of course, that graph is more of an illusion than a finding, as has been demonstrated repeatedly by a number of scholars, including Ross McKitrick and Stephen McIntyre, who today are joining Mark and hundreds of Club members aboard the Mark Steyn Cruise through the glacier-ridden Alaskan inside passage.

7:30pm Channel4 The Toxic cost of going green
Jamal Osman travels to the Democratic Republic of Congo,
to investigate the dirty business of cobalt mining
and the toxic cost for miners and their families of going green.
Green comes from Unicorns! Fact!
“Green comes from Unicorns! Fact!”
Are you suggesting it’s all a fantasy based on a great steaming pile of unicorn faeces?
I thought unicorns farted rainbows?
Unicorn Farts power rainbow turbines. Fact.
*sigh*

She is also charged with one count of engaging in sexual communication with a child and two counts of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – what the BBC don’t tell you and hopefully will be ruled ‘offside’ in future
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59074026
You would have to be earning quite a lot of money (and consuming a lot – more than is good for you – of the most expensive foreign red wines after Wednesday’s Budget), travelling long distances by air on several holidays a year, in order to be hit by a tax bill that is £3000 larger than the year before. In fact you would have to be working for the BBC as a radio or TV presenter or similar. I note the authors of the report do not quantify how many millions will be worse off here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59076532#comments
This sort of partial, anti-Conservative Government politicing by the BBC will hopefully be ruled off side by the Serota Review in future. Households may have to expend more on salt for that.
In the usual way of things, the BBC would be applauding a high spending Chancellor, the end of that awful Labour austerity, so maybe their change of attitude now is an early response to the Serota Report. Or is it more likely that the BBC highly paid presenters and executives have been badly hit by the National Insurance increases for the NHS together with the extra Air Passenger Duty they will have to pay for long distance holidays?
Up2snuff
Until I retired I had been an average kind of manual worker from 1955 until 2001 and quite honestly I had never noticed a Budget either Labour or Conservative make any discernible difference to my wage packet or my family wellbeing. However, apart from the Family Allowance (8 bob a week I think for the first child) I never received or attempted to receive state assistance which then would have been construed as cadging but now seems to be viewed as an entitlement no matter what. Never forget. The BBC and the MSM will always give air time to the cadger.
The Marxist State is the cadger not us!
Lefty – great admiration . My dad was the same – worked for the same furniture maker for probably 40 plus years .
The only thing he took from the State was his pension – which he had paid for across 50 years – but only lived a few years after retiring .
Britain has turned into an ugly welfare / rights dependent State – and the forthcoming change in the economy is gonna bring great hardship – which will be a shock to many ….
…. But one upside is that if people are struggling to get by -they don’t give too much thought to green crap – this happened in the 1970s ….
In a rather curious turn of events Terry McAuliffe (“The Man Who Bought The Clintons”) – a “Democrat” running for Virginia governor seems to be gearing up to legally challenge an election that hasn’t been held yet (it’s on Tuesday)….
Both Obama and Biden have stumped for him – but many polls have him behind in the contest.
There’s a rebellion brewing in the US ….
– of course the BBC will scrupulously report both sides of what’s happening.

@WeAreALBERT seems to be scheme which gives broadcasters membership of the Green Gang

They just tweeted
“#Filmmakers #COP26 is only a few days away!”
Iirc the Terminator was an unthinking cyborg created to ensure the Homo sapiens virus was eradicated.
ITV local news had another long item on COP26
.. followed by a trailer for a prog asking “Is Windpower a climate panacea ?”
Other areas had an electric car item
It’s common for PR people to be so out of touch with the real news that they don’t know the local news starts at 6:30pm
sorry that’s the tweet I just posted, this is the correct tweet
I wonder how many of the convoy have had charging problems?
BBC opened “we’ll be having a long item is Climate Change important to you ?”
“Next week your stories about going green EVERY NIGHT next week.
.. then we got a clip with first Greta and then Arnie”
Does anyone know who Greta got to have such a high status amongst the swamp ? I’ve only heard her speak once briefly and she seems mentally disordered …
In tonight’s show we had this weird thing
It was like the London bubbleworld reporters thought they had a great idea “There’s this place called Hornsea where there is massive coastal erosion, lets go there and get recordings of locals saying >This sea level rise is Global Warming in action< "
Yet when they arrived there the locals all said
“You guys don’t understand the difference between SEA LEVEL RISE and NATURAL COASTAL EROSIION do you ?
WE all did this at school
this coastal erosion here is a natural thing that’s been going on for thousands of years,.
The waves here are strong and the cliffs are weak , so they get eroded and then the soil gets washed down to Skegness and dropped there, so Skegness gets further and further from the sea”
So the having started filming the item didn’t continue the claim that erosion is caused by global warming.
Barry got the Glasgow gig.
Bummer.
They need a martyr, quick. Check the Alinsky brief.
‘You are the problem’: AT&T tells white staff they are racist, asks them to confess their ‘white privilege’ and to promote ‘Defund the Police as part of re-education program by CEO John Stankey
AT&T provides its employees with access to a learning resource called Listen Understand Act
The internal forum provided recommendations for books and articles to read and films to watch
One senior employee told journalist Christopher Rufo that staff at AT&T were pressured to engage with the portal
Managers, the source said, had participation with some of the recommended material included in their annual review
One of the recommended articles was from the Chicago Tribune, entitled: ‘White America, if you want to know who’s responsible for racism, look in the mirror’
The portal recommends a ’21-Day Racial Equity Habit Challenge’, during which time participants are encouraged to interact with anti-racism activists and question their own actions

I have put up 2 threads . One ‘for the record ‘ over the serota report – which for serious opponents of the BBC deserves a read ( 34 pages ) and the weekend thread which will suffer the Glasgow green fest .
Also – people may be pre occupied with HM The Queen who – it seems – is to miss the Remembrance Sunday Commemoration – which must have been done with a Heavy Heart .
