‘Dorries urges public to buy papers as best defence against fake news’
She argues ..”the best defence against the disinformation circulated by the major technology firms”. This means Google, Facebook news feeds… but also BBC*
* be in no doubt, the BBC’s plans to expand its local; news services in direct competition with commercial outlets would be hugely damaging for local journalism – and by extension local democracy’, she said.
Henry Faure Walker (NMA trade body for local news media) said in addition: ” ..The Government needed to prevent the BBC’s sprawling platforms encroaching into territory already serves by local commercial providers.”…”The BBC needs to be prevented from rolling its tanks, funded by the license fee, into the lawn of the hard pressed local news sector”.

I could not agree more. Without independent newspapers (we have over twenty in the UK, a lot more than Europe or even the US). The BBC feasts on the Guardian as ‘mainstream’ which has damaged The Guardian readership (in sales) for over 20 years, the BBC gives it away ‘recycled’ and edited for ‘free’. So the BBC cuts and damages local and national news and then invents its own ‘version’. Presenting its own false news opinion as fact in 24 hour news.
Which leads to the next problem…
BBC + ‘Lazy journalism’ and BBC impartiality…
….” The BBC employs 6,000 people in news, four times more than our most successful newspaper group. So why are real scoops, bold investigations and jaw-dropping news stories far more likely to come from its rivals, whether in print or on television? Sunday papers have small newsrooms but routinely set the agenda. And it seemed symbolic that although the BBC has so many staff in the United States, it was ITV’s lone wolf reporter Robert Moore who led the only news crew that filmed the rioters storming the Capitol.
Meanwhile, the BBC behemoth churns out its pitiful diet of bland bulletins filled with predictable reports, banal analysis, and dreary vox pops designed to avoid causing a fuss. These are fleshed out by formulaic daily “rollouts” of tedious stories planned by centralised teams stifled by groupthink.
A statue of George Orwell stands outside BBC headquarters. Inscribed on the wall behind is the great man’s phrase that “if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” – something the managers inside the building have forgotten. “

I have been aware for some time that the BBC weather reports are using ever darker red shades for the same temperatures to enhance the fear factor for some time. For instance a normal temperature of around 14 would have had a yellowish tone but now it is snow depicted as a deeper orange hue.

Sarkar is a writer, lecturer, journalist and political commentator. A contributing editor of Novara Media, she has written for the Guardian, Independent and Huffington Post, with regular appearances on British television and radio, including “Question Time”, “Good Morning Britain” and “Jeremy Vine on 5”.
She has been called one of “the internet’s best left-wing thinkers” by the Spectator, and was named Media Personality of the Year by the Asian Media Awards in 2019.
Sarkar also lectures at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, and has taught Global Politics at Anglia Ruskin University.
Commenting on the deal, she said: “I’m over the moon that Bloomsbury has decided to publish my first book, Minority Rule. I’ve been nurturing this idea for a long time, trying to find the right home for it. Bloomsbury has a reputation for publishing epoch-defining non-fiction, and it’s such an honour to join a list of authors whose books have been powerful influences on my own thinking.”
The self-assigned sobriquet ‘Champion’ has of late passed into history, leaving only speculation as to who at the bbc checked what facts that saw her rise to prominence.

‘Tesco is launching its first checkout-free high street store where shoppers can pick up their groceries and leave without the need for a till. It is the latest retail giant to open a store where checkouts are replaced by high-tech cameras designed to track the items shoppers place in their baskets.’
Being local to me, I’ve observed the evolution of this abomination from a cash-only store to a benchmark in exclusion and technocratic elitism. Plenty of time during the Covid off-season to rush through the upgrade; from cashless to till-less in 18 months. No hanging about. Chunky Tube-style entry gates and cameras in your face from the get go, total absence of diversity amongst the staff ie: no white people allowed. In fact, nobody else is allowed in if they don’t have the app.
Perhaps we’ll soon have to scan our vaccine status app instead? Happier times ahead, I’m sure.

How exactly would that be enforced?
-Limits on how much meat you can buy in a supermarket at a time? What stops you going to every shop in town and buying meat from each?
-Meat ration vouchers? Blackmarket in forgeries and vegans/vegetarians selling theirs?
-Surprise raids by the Meat police to look in your freezer? What about the cold store hidden in the shed?
-Spot check analyses for too much protein in your faeces? So what, I like lots of lentils gov!
Living in the country, if they put too much tax on meat, or try to ration what I can buy, I’ll just do what my grandfather did, turn half the garden into a pigpen, and invest in a shotgun (not allowed? ok, make my own crossbow), get some ferrets, snares, rabbit nets etc… there’s plenty of meat out there they can’t ‘police’.
Are smart motorways dangerous?
Motorways in general are pretty safe – they account for far fewer casualties than rural or urban roads, despite the high speeds involved.
The big question is whether smart motorways are more dangerous than conventional ones.
Controlled motorways where speed limits vary are not the problem. Statistically, they are safer than any other kind.
The government has always said that smart motorways PER CAR are safer than conventional motorways
cos the vehicles are spread through 4 carriageways not 3.
I am interested if any journo can show evidence against that
It’s certain that both are safer than conventional A-roads.
… The risk is that someone afraid of Smart motorways
would take an A-road instead and thus have an accident.
The media are able to air an emotional wife who will say my husband would still be alive if he’d been on the hard shoulder.
They are not able to air the 3 wives whose husbands didn’t die , cos the smart motorway is safer overall.
I read a recent report which claimed the majority of the gantries are either broken or completely non functional which renders them completely inoperative as ‘smart motorways’.
The statistics need to be taken when the so called ‘smart’ system is operating and not just the stretch of road as that is the only meaningful way of telling.
Last week on a smart motorway, with a much ignored 50mph limit I did an emergency brake when a car in front of me broke down and the driver attempted to move to the side where a column of HGVs were hurtling down the inside lane way above the speed limit and other HGVs overtaking him and me in the third lane. He was trapped both sides and stuck. I managed to swing past him skidding in front of the HGVs and continued. God knows what happened to the guy who had broken down. Its the A roads for me when the Motorway is smart.
Having been close to disaster on a smart motorway I know from experience that the problem component is the drivers. In my case a car spluttered to a halt 100 yards ahead in the slow lane. The following 3 cars all ran into each other’s back-end, then another three or four cars violently swerved into the next lane to avoid the carnage.
So there is the problem, drivers on motorways EXPECT all the vehicles ahead to keep moving as they are lulled into a false sense of security. e.g. everyone following each other at a constant speed.
I have no doubt that when the foggy season begins we will witness multiple deaths on smart motorways.
My wife totally refuses to go on them and will drive many extra B road miles to keep away from them.
For myself I drive at around 4 times the usual distance from the car in front thus nullifying the whole purpose of them which is simply to pack more vehicles down the same bit of road.
Digg
I ride a motor scooter from time to time – I work on the assumption that every other driver is out to kill me . The last serious attempt was on Sunday when someone stopped in the middle of the road and invited me to ride into the back of them .

Readers need to watch this reasonably short piece on how the media along with the Biden government are manipulating statistics to present climate in the worst light possible, tantamount to lying!
What the recent CO2 figures for 2021 revealed (yes, I know the year hasn’t ended but I think they were a ‘projection’ as some entertainment for a small party someone was having up north) was the breathtaking news that it is possible our woodlands, forests and rainforests may be breathing out more CO2 than previously thought. It was said that wildfires and forestry clearance (for various reasons) will have played a part in the increased CO2 emissions for 2021 but it was interesting that someone said (may have been a scientist):
“We just don’t know.”
Funny that, according to the BBC “The science is settled.” and so there can be no debate. But maybe Roger Harrabin or Matt McGrath should look into whether the previous assumptions that woods & forests absorbed much more CO2 than they expirated should be revisited?
My bit of speculation re. the Salisbury rail crash:
Perhaps ‘train 1’ ignored signals and the route was set for ‘train 2’? Both trains tried to use the same track through the tunnel but ‘train 1’ got there first.
The track on the other side is buckled at the junction, perhaps because ‘train 1’ hit the point set against it and that applied forces to the point on the other line?
If my speculation is right ‘train 2’ had the route set for it, clear signals and all. If ‘train 1’ over-ran its signals and then derailed cutting cables ‘train 2’ would pass ‘dead equipment’ and get no warning. No need for any fancy explanations.
Of course the first-revealed ‘information’ in these matters is inevitably flawed and the conclusions could well be completely different.
What I am sure of though is that ‘climate change’ will not be a cause, and yes, they have already set that dog running!
Was it a deltic . I love deltics . I never got one as a kid . Or that one that picks up the mail bag .
Apparently there leaves on the line in the tunnel …
Thought it would be appropriate to post a screen grab of tonight’s power generation whilst the COP26 circus and the 1000’s of hypocrites keep rolling along.
Note ..coal is at 4%
Wind… 3%
It would appear that half of our power coming from Europe is French nuclear ☢️ power..
I don’t think we can count on the 6% biofuels any more following the fantastic breakthrough on halting rainforest deforestation being shoved down our throats this evening..
They are telling us trees are the lungs of the world..
I hope this image somehow gets to be shown at the conferences, to bring it home to these hypocritical clowns on the futility of this circus….
If Ash Sarkar was PM she would be Chair or Dear Leader. There would be prison camps and re-education camps, people deemed ‘racist’ (more or less everyone White) would be dead.

An eminent Climate Scientist says he will need more colours to depict yearly temperatures due to climate change.
https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/cop26-climate-graph-warm-planet-b1949745.html
I have been aware for some time that the BBC weather reports are using ever darker red shades for the same temperatures to enhance the fear factor for some time. For instance a normal temperature of around 14 would have had a yellowish tone but now it is snow depicted as a deeper orange hue.
This is just a sleight of hand conjuring trick and is such childish and untruthful behaviour it’s insulting to the intelligence and it needs to be exposed.
They really will stop at nothing to give birth to their new religion and hence global social order!

Sarkar is a writer, lecturer, journalist and political commentator. A contributing editor of Novara Media, she has written for the Guardian, Independent and Huffington Post, with regular appearances on British television and radio, including “Question Time”, “Good Morning Britain” and “Jeremy Vine on 5”.
She has been called one of “the internet’s best left-wing thinkers” by the Spectator, and was named Media Personality of the Year by the Asian Media Awards in 2019.
Sarkar also lectures at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, and has taught Global Politics at Anglia Ruskin University.
Commenting on the deal, she said: “I’m over the moon that Bloomsbury has decided to publish my first book, Minority Rule. I’ve been nurturing this idea for a long time, trying to find the right home for it. Bloomsbury has a reputation for publishing epoch-defining non-fiction, and it’s such an honour to join a list of authors whose books have been powerful influences on my own thinking.”

‘Tesco is launching its first checkout-free high street store where shoppers can pick up their groceries and leave without the need for a till. It is the latest retail giant to open a store where checkouts are replaced by high-tech cameras designed to track the items shoppers place in their baskets.’
Being local to me, I’ve observed the evolution of this abomination from a cash-only store to a benchmark in exclusion and technocratic elitism. Plenty of time during the Covid off-season to rush through the upgrade; from cashless to till-less in 18 months. No hanging about. Chunky Tube-style entry gates and cameras in your face from the get go, total absence of diversity amongst the staff ie: no white people allowed. In fact, nobody else is allowed in if they don’t have the app.
Perhaps we’ll soon have to scan our vaccine status app instead? Happier times ahead, I’m sure.

“Should there be limits on meat eating?”
How exactly would that be enforced?
-Limits on how much meat you can buy in a supermarket at a time? What stops you going to every shop in town and buying meat from each?
-Meat ration vouchers? Blackmarket in forgeries and vegans/vegetarians selling theirs?
-Surprise raids by the Meat police to look in your freezer? What about the cold store hidden in the shed?
-Spot check analyses for too much protein in your faeces? So what, I like lots of lentils gov!
Living in the country, if they put too much tax on meat, or try to ration what I can buy, I’ll just do what my grandfather did, turn half the garden into a pigpen, and invest in a shotgun (not allowed? ok, make my own crossbow), get some ferrets, snares, rabbit nets etc… there’s plenty of meat out there they can’t ‘police’.

Are smart motorways dangerous?
Motorways in general are pretty safe – they account for far fewer casualties than rural or urban roads, despite the high speeds involved.
The big question is whether smart motorways are more dangerous than conventional ones.
Controlled motorways where speed limits vary are not the problem. Statistically, they are safer than any other kind.

The government has always said that smart motorways PER CAR are safer than conventional motorways
cos the vehicles are spread through 4 carriageways not 3.
I am interested if any journo can show evidence against that
It’s certain that both are safer than conventional A-roads.
… The risk is that someone afraid of Smart motorways
would take an A-road instead and thus have an accident.
The media are able to air an emotional wife who will say my husband would still be alive if he’d been on the hard shoulder.
They are not able to air the 3 wives whose husbands didn’t die , cos the smart motorway is safer overall.

I read a recent report which claimed the majority of the gantries are either broken or completely non functional which renders them completely inoperative as ‘smart motorways’.
The statistics need to be taken when the so called ‘smart’ system is operating and not just the stretch of road as that is the only meaningful way of telling.

Last week on a smart motorway, with a much ignored 50mph limit I did an emergency brake when a car in front of me broke down and the driver attempted to move to the side where a column of HGVs were hurtling down the inside lane way above the speed limit and other HGVs overtaking him and me in the third lane. He was trapped both sides and stuck. I managed to swing past him skidding in front of the HGVs and continued. God knows what happened to the guy who had broken down. Its the A roads for me when the Motorway is smart.

Having been close to disaster on a smart motorway I know from experience that the problem component is the drivers. In my case a car spluttered to a halt 100 yards ahead in the slow lane. The following 3 cars all ran into each other’s back-end, then another three or four cars violently swerved into the next lane to avoid the carnage.
So there is the problem, drivers on motorways EXPECT all the vehicles ahead to keep moving as they are lulled into a false sense of security. e.g. everyone following each other at a constant speed.
I have no doubt that when the foggy season begins we will witness multiple deaths on smart motorways.
My wife totally refuses to go on them and will drive many extra B road miles to keep away from them.
For myself I drive at around 4 times the usual distance from the car in front thus nullifying the whole purpose of them which is simply to pack more vehicles down the same bit of road.

What the recent CO2 figures for 2021 revealed (yes, I know the year hasn’t ended but I think they were a ‘projection’ as some entertainment for a small party someone was having up north) was the breathtaking news that it is possible our woodlands, forests and rainforests may be breathing out more CO2 than previously thought. It was said that wildfires and forestry clearance (for various reasons) will have played a part in the increased CO2 emissions for 2021 but it was interesting that someone said (may have been a scientist):
“We just don’t know.”
Funny that, according to the BBC “The science is settled.” and so there can be no debate. But maybe Roger Harrabin or Matt McGrath should look into whether the previous assumptions that woods & forests absorbed much more CO2 than they expirated should be revisited?

My bit of speculation re. the Salisbury rail crash:
Perhaps ‘train 1’ ignored signals and the route was set for ‘train 2’? Both trains tried to use the same track through the tunnel but ‘train 1’ got there first.
The track on the other side is buckled at the junction, perhaps because ‘train 1’ hit the point set against it and that applied forces to the point on the other line?
If my speculation is right ‘train 2’ had the route set for it, clear signals and all. If ‘train 1’ over-ran its signals and then derailed cutting cables ‘train 2’ would pass ‘dead equipment’ and get no warning. No need for any fancy explanations.
Of course the first-revealed ‘information’ in these matters is inevitably flawed and the conclusions could well be completely different.
What I am sure of though is that ‘climate change’ will not be a cause, and yes, they have already set that dog running!
