    BBC Radio 1 has launched the Annie Nightingale Presents Scholarship, a brand-new initiative designed to champion up-and-coming women and non-binary DJs in the Dance scene.

    The Scholarship aims to celebrate and elevate talented women and non-binary people in the electronic music scene by providing them with a national platform to showcase their taste and expertise.

    ‘Dance scene’ and ‘taste’ seem strange companions.

    If men are now women and ‘non-binaries’ are neither why not promote anyone with ‘talent’, or is that too ‘inclusive’?

      That is outrageous. What is actually means:

      ‘For everyone except heterosexual males.’

      What kind of hypocrites think that this is acceptable ?. Females and gay men I suppose. Something they have plenty of at the BBC.

      Can anyone recall anything at all on the BBC which has stated it is for straight men only ?. It’s exactly the same principle.

      The scene doesn’t need this, ergo it’s just another virtuous back-slapping exercise in box ticking. In the 80’s and 90’s and even early into the millennium, most of the well-known club DJs were men. Recently there has been a huge upsurge in women DJ’s gaining a foothold right across the dance spectrum. They did it on their own in a male dominated industry. Feminism in action.

      I just watched it and it was indeed a bit embarassing for our Queen. It reminded me of Biden.

      The big picture of Prince Philip with the butterflies taking up half the screen next to her was very cheap. I bet they wondered if they could have got away with using the spitting image puppet sat next to her telling us what he would have wanted.

      I strongly suspect they have convinced the Queen that given the current damage to the Monarchy by Harry, she has no choice but to curry the favour of the MSM.

    I notice the BBC are quick to make videos and put them online when Trump boards Air Force One with some paper stuck to his shoe, but when Biden falls asleep during the massively hyped COP26, they keep quiet.

    Joe is not fit to be President. Everybody knows it – including the BBC. This is what makes them such untrustworthy hypocrites. They only tell us what they absolutely have to or what they want us to know.

    No doubt Snopes will manage to describe it as ‘misleading’ – maybe by saying he fell asleep during coffee break or something like they usually do.

      Oh – I stand corrected. They have reported it. Just – as usual – about a day later than everyone else.

      But of course the whole point of running it is to counter the huge publicity it has received on the internet.

      Their headline – predictably – is:
      ‘COP26: Was US President Biden asleep or just resting his eyes?’

      And they repeat it again in the article just to make sure you caught it.

    I was a little surprised when they nudged Biden awake and reminded him who he was and that he was at a conference called COP26, that he did not give a speech about the police or arrest rates.

    I would love to be a fly on the wall when he meets the diminutive woman bossing everyone around, I would bet money he is convinced she is Prince Charles’ mum and congratulates her on the “work done” on the wrinkles and hair.

    They are being extremely oconomical with the facts here. For example,

    ‘And a £1.1bn fund will be established to protect the world’s second largest tropical rainforest – in the Congo Basin.’

    Protect it how ?. Build a fence ?.

    Or does it mean just give them the money and ask them to promise not to chop down any more trees ?.

    And of course the hole in the market will create a massive illegal trade. That’s how these places work.

    The whiff of BS from Glasgow, sewage spills and memories of Master Po, in this scatological edition

    Now the BBC informs us: ‘COP26: Thunberg tells Glasgow protest politicians are pretending‘ – well, I think she got that about right (to borrow an all too familiar catchphrase from the Beeb complaints department).

    At last some newspaper titles break ranks and, like a cheeky small boy at a grand fairytale parade, they point out above the hubbub of media crowd approval, that our emperors are starkers.

    The freebie Metro: ‘Height of hyCOPrisy. Billionaire climate gurus party on their gas-guzzling yachts. They fly in on private jets (along with 400 others at eco summit). Meanwhile Biden has a 26-vehicle motorcade to discuss saving the planet

    The Daily Star: ‘The egos have landed! Motors.. Choppers.. Leaders.. Hypocrisy‘ – there’s that word hypocrisy again.

    The great and the good and their oh-so pious followers will probably call this just another example of nasty populism. I call it giving voice to popular counter beliefs held by many outside of the elite bubble.

    The Star provides some stirring stuff with a side-swipe at the Frogs: ‘The great and the good – and Emmanuel Macron – arrive in gas-guzzling jets to warn of environmental armageddon..

    Meanwhile, the BBC just can’t help laying it on with their house-style tick-boxing over-earnest great big trowel: ‘COP26: Wheelchair-using minister unable to attend summit. An Israeli minister has said she could not attend the COP26 summit on Monday because it was not wheelchair accessible.

    The BBC: our over-staffed, over-attentive ear for any right-on, on message, fringe voice they can lend a Licence Fee funded megaphone to: ‘Plastics in wet wipes should be banned, says Labour MP. Labour MP Fleur Anderson says as well as causing environmental damage, the cost of clearing them from blocked drains ends up on our water bills. She is proposing a new law to ban the sale or manufacture of wet wipes that contain plastic‘ – this from Labour – the mask mandate party. One doubts many of the billions of those awful inappropriate for public use medical articles are being sustainably recycled world wide.

    Gosh, it’s only a matter of time before we see photos of endangered animals wearing discarded PPE… maybe a poor walrus in rubber golves, a face-masked polar bear or pangolin? I’d enjoy the marvelous irony, but don’t think there’s a Chinese bat species large enough to carry one off – although they do have the big ears for them. It would probably slip off when they perched upside down. Afterall they are not the most natural item of clothing. I know even most humans I see with them have at least a bit of nose poking out.

    Spare a thought, it is a tough enough environment as it is for our wild animals. The Star features: ‘Beaver crisis. Critters threatened by sewage spills‘ – now there’s a genuine cause for concern.

    The Star’s thought for the day reads: ‘Impending global disaster AND a shortgae of beavers?‘ – this from the paper that is: ‘Proud to love animals‘ and furthermore, in something of a localised halloween hangover, warns: ‘Yorkshire’s reet spooky

    But of you want another helping of the creepy, sinister, morbid, macabre; then head on over to the Mirror: ‘My beautiful death. A women crippled by ill health chose to take her own life in an assisted suicide

    This is of course a favourite old saw of the BBC who describe the story thus: ‘The Daily Mirror has interviewed a 76-year-old “right to die” campaigner, who chose to take her own life in an assisted suicide. Dawn Voice-Cooper, who was “crippled by ill health”, had a glass of champagne and hugged friends while listening to her favourite song at a clinic in Switzerland

    That’s one way to ease the housing crisis and take pressure off the NHS.

    Oddly enough, the boss of the family doctors’s trades union, like an old time Roman statesman, has also just fallen on his sword – career-wise: ‘GP’s union chief quits amid face-to-face row‘ (Telegraph) – you never know, if campaigners get their way grandad’s assisted suicide might one day be signed off by two doctors via Zoom.

    Data published last week show 61 per cent of appointments last month were in-person. Before the pandemic this figure was about 80 per cent‘ – I think the Telegraph means before pandemic panic measures were introduced – but we’ll give them a pass… it’s still the devil’s own job to get to see a quack but house cartoonist Matt is back to cheer us up.

    Think back to the 1970s hit TV show Kung Fu starring David Carradine and those frequent flashbacks to his training in the Shaolin Monastery under the tutelage of his great mentor and elder, Master Po. I think Master Po went on to open a little shop in Tunbridge Wells where he pioneered the hippy scented candle industry – there’s a gag for the teenagers. Anyway, I’ve set the scene. Matt has his guru advise his attentive pupil: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you annoy the French for a life time

    Referencing the Anglo-French fishing dispute – the latter day Hundred Yeras War – and also that old trope about development aid.

    What is the developing world up to these days? Well most of it is… developing… building fossil fuel power stations.

    How about Africa and the land of Band Aid? What are the Ethiopians up to as the great and good (and Greta) global elite gather in Glasgow to fret about the weather?

    Ethiopian forces fight back as rebels take city‘ (Telegraph) – a world away from COP26 they’re having a civil war of course. What’s the carbon footprint of a high explosive shell?

    Residents described non-stop gunfire overnight and sounds they thought were airstrikes on Sunday and yesterday‘ – to be fair, they’ve had many a jet fly overhead this last weekend and I hear Glasgow nightlife can be a bit on the lively side.

        What I can never understand, is that if all these odd people want to be ‘different’, what on earth do they do with their time when they’re supposed to be working for a living, being a decent tax-payer, contributing to society in general?

        The BBC loves to show these peculiar people demonstrating by sticking their faces to tarmac, or prancing around Brighton, but surely, these oddities must have some sort of employment? Do they?

        When you have loopy people like Vine and Harrabin squealing about stuff they don’t understand, the BBC really needs to find out a little more about what all these un-qualified faces on TV are doing, and if they can find out a little more about what they think is the cause of trannie layabouts etc., then we might (or might not) offer some sympathy, but they do bang on about subjects which quite frankly, don’t cause any concern to any normal hard-working citizen!

        We just get very cross, and they know that in W1AA – it’s pathetic!

          The reason for COP26 and all of them previously is exactly population control. Its a mandate to reduce the population globally by 95%. It is a ‘by-an-means-how’ situation and is the reason why they want to control the climate (and everything else). Success is measured in suicides, abortion, euthanasia, pandemics, birth control, LGBTQXYZ (more obscure the better) – as long as its zero birth rates. Reducing the environment to travel is the next big plan. Travel if your rich enough.. Procreate by proxy.

          And its all going to plan with the zeal of the new Boris (mark II) and Greta circus performers in Glasgow, predicting the end-of-the-world- if we don’t all sign up for it. Scare tactics since the 1980’s. Stoked by the usual suspects in the media, as if they are on program.

          The Target is Africa and Asia next with India signing up to COP26 only yesterday. BBC are all over it.

            Plenty of join-the-dots fun in this lecture, particularly the namedropping of Julian Huxley and Max Nicholson, the bonkers chum of Stanley Johnson who fantasised about the return to a municipal semi-feudal model of society. It’s no surprise Boris is so on board with the green lunacy – he was indoctrinated by his father. Huxley (yes, the brother of Aldous) authored the ‘Eugenics Manifesto’ in 1939, along with the geneticist Hermann J. Muller, which explored ways in which the human population could be controlled via genetic manipulation. Nicholson’s proposals in his book The System were fundamental to the thinking of Huxley and Muller, who advocated a centralised authority with the power to subordinate individual rights to the eugenics goals of society. Ring any bells?

            Read up on the Club of the Isles for clues on why the Duke of Edinburgh was head of the World Wildlife Fund and why Attenborough is wedded to the Establishment and dark environmentalism. Attenborough defers to Max Nicholson, who was equally in thrall to Charles Rothschild. Make no mistake: this is all about population reduction and has been for over a hundred years. It is not the beginning, merely a continuation.

            “If we look at things causally, the bigger problem in the world is population. We must set a ceiling to human numbers. All development aid should be made dependent on the existence of strong family planning programs.” – Sir Peter Scott, chairman, World Wildlife Fund U.K., 1984

    I think the BBC is frightened of liz truss. Yesterday i reported how mishal on ‘today’ gave a soft interview with a hated tory .

    Today the BBC news gloomily reports that the french enemy is suspending its ‘ threats to cut off power and prevent trade to England – but doesnt mention that this comes as a result of the truss ultimatum to go to law – she doesnt get a mention at all .

    I reckon she d be better for us to take on the BBC rather than any other red tory – the caveat being that tory cabinet ministers avoid confrontation at all times .

      The mentality of these people baffles me, attempting to appease them is pointless, it’s never enough.

      Buy local, support those who share your streets, your schools, your shops and those who most importantly share your values. If it is important to you, then the reason that it cuts down on carbon emissions caused through transport should be reason enough.

      ‘Anti EU sentiment’? So what? What about your blatant anti-UK sentiment then? Pr%£k.

      I personally buy nothing produced in Eire because as a nation they wish mine and my own nothing but ill-will, the EU likewise, why should I support them when I can get anything they produce or equivalent from NI or the UK? Why would I buy garlic from Grenada when the Isle of Wight is full of it? Why buy tomatoes from Espana instead of Essex? Cheese from France when there’s award-winning stuff from Fermanagh? This Christmas I’ll get sprouts from Ballymena. Who needs Brussels?

      Morrison’s are right to point this out, it should matter to people, just not in the way that these treacherous Twitter-twat tools like ‘Young Wing’ – ‘Italophile, Cynic. Politics, Art, Literature, Nature.’ apparently. I might add Stereotype – suggest.

          I think we can all agree that our Mums did shop locally, and we were brought up on local produce wherever we lived. Salads were only ate in the summer, so its thanks to the aviation industry that we get beans from Kenya and asparagus from Peru (!) I’ve always thought this crackers. Funny how we survived for centuries without these delicacies ! Vesta curries were about as exotic as my Mum would get, with a few tinned shrimps thrown in lol !

    Having stomached a little of the BBC COP26 lovefest……..

    The entire BBC reporting angle is geared to supporting the purity vortex. Even if you accept the idea of manmade global warming the reporting has no rationale, no critique, no coverage of the obvious hypocrisies, no balance. It is just a race to the top of the purity spiral as each correspondent and interviewee tries to outdo the previous one in virtue-signalling.

    Truly appalling journalism.
    When is Greta Thumberg doing her tour of China, India, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia?

    Just as I thought. She isn’t.

      I wonder how that £150k salary maps onto the public sector vs. actual businesses … – and how many actually move between the two.

      I look at my local council in the knowledge that they volunteered 7 or 8 people on such salaries but are 100% reticent about who those titans of administration actually are and what they’ve actually achieved…

      It seems to me that many people on lower incomes than Burgon’s are compelled to pay tax on things that he can get via expenses.

    I read that the Canadian Government is pushing for new laws to force social media and the MSM to take down and take action against anyone the Government deems to be “hurtful”.

    This is a pure Stalinist “purge” tactic designed primarily to crush any dissent against the standing Government and thus the epitome of anti-democracy.

    I hope these people realise the tide of anger and resentment that this will bring with the possibility of real uprising and revolution against them is a dangerous possibility.

    It is coming!

      Last year I subjected myself to an afternoon of “mainstream” Canadian radio and TV via the Internet.

      A more grotesque bunch of fawning creeps would be difficult to find (in the Anglophone world) – many are only still employed on account of the tax money pushed their way by Trudeau and his goons and mein gott, it really shows.

      After enduring 4+ hours of it and sampling a lot of different channels – I took a shower.

      I knew about the hounding of Ezra Levant + Rebel Media but I hadn’t anticipated the truly weird mindscape that the Liberals have cultivated in Canadian media land. The whiff of aspiring despotism pervades all the PC-speak.

      Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
      As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.

      Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

      ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

      CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.

      CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19 

      Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.

      Cheers,
      Mr.H.

      “We are virtually certain that the consensus is well over 99% now and that it’s pretty much case closed for any meaningful public conversation about the reality of human-caused climate change,” said Mark Lynas, a visiting fellow at the Alliance for Science and the paper’s first author.

      https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change

      In the study, the researchers began by examining a random sample of 3,000 studies from the dataset of 88,125 English-language climate papers published between 2012 and 2020. They found only found four out of the 3,000 papers were skeptical of human-caused climate change. “We knew that [climate skeptical papers] were vanishingly small in terms of their occurrence, but we thought there still must be more in the 88,000,” Lynas said.
