Palma de Mallorca: Fleeing passengers shut down busy Spanish airport

Odd headline which always means the BBC are hiding the bit they don’t want the casual browser to know.
Sure enough they are illegal immigrants who faked an illness to get the plane diverted then made a break for it. Only the BBC could hide such a story behind such a benign headline.
I used to think John Major was the worst Prime Minister we ever had , but then along came Theresa May .
Many moons ago , the Germans started the Vignette system to charge foreign trucks that used their roads . The Benelux and Danes joined in the system . Fair enough , they hit back at other countries that charged them in one form or another .
But due to EU rules the Five had to charge everyone in the EU , even the UK , who charged no one .
We ended up being the only country that allowed any foreigner to wear out our roads without paying their “track costs ” . YOU paid for their use .
Now when it was put to the then Prime Minister John Major ( by an individual , not the Road Haulage Association or Freight Transport Association – Logistics UK ) about this iniquitous situation he replied ;
That British hauliers could pay the foreign tax because ;;;
Our corporation tax was lower than theirs
and
Our Social Costs were lower than theirs .
So in other words by not taxing ourselves we could pay a foreign tax , and by not having the same social benefits we could pay the foreigners social benefits .
That more sounds like a country under occupation than a free country .
Of course the BBC never asked John Major about that .
I think you are being a bit unfair on Gordon Brown there Nibor.
And I think you’re not giving Tony Blair enough credit there JohnC!
Well, we can debate second place but I think everybody agrees that Theresa May was the worst prime minister this country has ever had.
Right down to the bitter resignation speech where the only thing missing was ‘so f*ck you’ at the very end.
Can’t really argue with that John, you make a good point.
“…the BBC never asked John Major about that>”
And he never asked us. A proud tradition continued by governments of all stripes.
He’s all they have. And can make Chris seem colourful.
The BBC chooses a bitter and half deranged little man who betrays his own country and party knowing he hates Boris and will say anything to damage him…the BBC then makes it headline news….the BBC is corrupt , toxic and dangerous, and a threat to democracy.
How very unsurprising that the weasely Mason was given the job of unloading this pile of unicorn poo too!
Listening to the BBC radio news the biggest story is a crush at a ‘concert ‘ in Texas in which half a dozen people died . And that happened yesterday . There are a few clues – such as the ‘concert ‘being for a ‘rap artist ‘ ….
Meanwhile the ‘Sunday religious ‘ programme had a feature about afgee refugees who have been inflicted on us ‘ rediscovering Islam’….
Off switch …
I went looking for a bit more information because I don’t trust the BBC one little bit to tell me the full story for anything which might be agenda based.
I found this video and saw something very strange. At point 01:08 a big black guy seems to throw someone over a barrier and then another black guy on the other side seems to take a kick at him as he walks past. They are both wearing the same clothes which means they are marshalls or something.

I’ve watched it 10 times and still can’t work out what was going on.
I have posted this before ………
How long has Boris and his dodgy cabinet got to go?
The Russia Hoax…..guess Trump was right and the BBC and its fellow disinformation spinners, not ‘wrong’, but outright liars….
The BBC now admits it was all a lie…but doesn’t admit its own role in hyping that lie….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59168626
A Russian analyst who worked on a dossier that made unsubstantiated claims linking Donald Trump to the Kremlin has been arrested in the US.
The Department of Justice charged Igor Danchenko, 43, with lying to the FBI.
He was detained as part of an inquiry into the origins of baseless claims that Mr Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
The so-called Steele Dossier was used by the FBI to obtain surveillance warrants on a top Trump aide.
The document was held up by Democrats to paint Mr Trump as a Russian puppet, a narrative amplified in a feedback loop by most US media for much of the president’s four years in office.’
‘…..a narrative amplified in a feedback loop by most US media for much of the president’s four years in office’
Lol….that’s the biggest lie of all…..the BBC was also front and centre, fully on board, spreading the Russia Hoax worldwide giving it its stamp of approval, credibility and authenticity.
The BBC and fellow travellers, Clinton still claiming the election was stolen, claimed Trump was only elected due to Russian interference but the truth is the BBC et al were the ones working hand in hand with the Russians using the fake dossier to try and rig the outcome of the US election against Trump….The BBC’s paul Wood, even after Mueeler and the realiation that the dossier was extremely dodgy said this…
‘Steele was first to warn that Russia was mounting a covert operation to elect Donald Trump. Fusion GPS – his partners in Washington DC – have called this the dossier’s ‘foundational initial assertion’ and it was correct. ‘
Still claiming that the dossier is authentic and correct about Russia helping Trump!…..but the dossier, fed to Steele by Russian intelligence, was not to help Trump but to smear him….the BBC knew this, everyone knew it, but the BBC still insisted it was done to help Putin’s puppet get elected.
Woods knew the truth and stated…
‘As a member of MI6, he[Steele] had been posted to the UK’s embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information. ‘
There is absolutely no doubt the BBC colluded wth the Russians and tried to effect the outcome of a foreign election….there needs to be a full investigation into the BBC’s role in this extraordinary political plot not just to stop Trump being elected but then to unseat The President during his term in Office.
That story is massive. The Democrats tried to sabotage Trump with the most cynical of lies in a full Presidential election. Yet the BBC are treating it like a side-story.
It’s a much bigger deal that the Capitol riots. It’s a sign of how broken and corrupt ‘democracy’ has become. Both what they did and how they have been allowed to get away with it.
In any sane world, this revelation would now open up the election fraud can of worms.
Yep….the BBC actively, knowingly colluded with the Russians by reporting that the dossier was true when all along they knew it was fake….and where it originated from.
Interesting area to get into. Nudge, nudge.

I actually find the Twitter Maxi’s efforts fun too.

Why doesn’t he stand in front of BBC House?…that is after all the organisation that employed her to help train Iranians to spread anti-regime information and then abandoned her. She’s in prison because of the work she did for the BBC.
I have always had a queasy feeling about the BBC’s one-eye-open relationship in all of this.
I’m sure the hardline Iranian religious authorities are quaking in their sandals at the prospect of a man they clearly consider the husband of a spy starving himself to death in the streets of London.
Much as I feel for this man, I’m not sure how the rest of us are supposed to respond – support an invasion of Iran? That worked out so well in Iraq, Afghanistan….
Given what we know about how far Lefties like the BBC are prepared to go when it suits them, there is a good chance justice has already been served.
Lots of free pumpkins on the back!
The I would leave it a minute before going in there edition
Sunday, and we reflect on a week in which the Left and the Media (but I repeat myself) put up a veritable public firework display of their outraged righteous indignation over the apparent paid lobbying on behalf of some commercial companies by an obscure Tory MP.
And yet the notion that multinational big pharma might be influencing official government policies on lockdowns and vaccination boosters is an idea that those same righteous warriors want suppressed on the grounds of it being no more than the dangerous fever dream of denialism, typical of the crazed tin foil hat flat earth fraternity.
As for the vast sums of government lucre about to be shovel-ready dumped in the direction of the campaigning green blob/ industrial complex… well, screw any scrutiny there… Boris says: “it’s one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock and we need to act now” – and on this, remarkably for once, they are all, apparently, more than happy to believe him.
In oblique reference to just one of our current disputes with the French… how does that fishing expression go… hook, line and sinker.
But not quite: ‘Apocalypse-predicting Doomsday Clock is actually at 100 seconds to midnight – and NOT at one minute to midnight as Boris Johnson claims, scientists confirm‘ (Daily Mail)
But just a minute… these are not literal seconds, this is a metaphor, surely… scientists should know better.
‘The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists says there are multiple ‘end of days’ threats… The clock was set at 100 seconds to midnight in January for the second year. This is the closest it has been to doomsday since it launched 74 years ago. It had been at two minutes to midnight since 2017 in part due to climate change… They say ‘new norms of behaviour’ are needed to push the clock hands back‘
These people are quite simply bonkers. Atomic clock? I wouldn’t let them set the timer on my central heating system… although that’s exactly the sort of thing they dearly want to do for me.
Call me childish, but whenever I think of the word lobbying, I can’t help for some reason being reminded of Noel Edmunds and his pal Mr Blobby. You remember, that bulbous squishy pink bloke who would run on set squeeking unintelligibly and bumping into things. It’s all a bit like Reginald Perrin who would imagine a hippopotamus hurrying along, whenever he thought of his mother-in-law.
Here we go again… Blobby, blobby, blobby!
‘No booster… No hassle-free foreign travel‘ (The Mail on Sunday)
‘Why every mum should get jab‘ (Sunday People)
‘Get booster jabs so we can enjoy Christmas‘ (BBC)
Blobby, blobby, blobby!
Some print titles have other news…
‘My affair with the morgue monster‘ – no, not a late Halloween rendition of an Edgar Allan Poe short story, this is the Sunday Mirror headline for the tale of: ‘Nurse on “perfect gent” who wooed her‘ – you never hear real people wooing these days. Hey-ho, nurses, we banged our pots for them and we’re always told they’re heroes and all that – but don’t immediately trust their judgement – it is sometimes wise to seek a second opinion: ‘New call for inquiry at the horror hospital‘ – we’ll see how that goes.
‘Actor Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina, who are UN goodwill ambassadors, told a Cop26 audience in Glasgow yesterday, that African voices are “central to the solution of climate change”‘ (Observer) – meaning in practice, who knows what? Anyway, I thought our Idris was British, although he did a very good impression of an American when he starred as a drug gang kingpin in the HBO hit TV series The Wire. As did posh pal of David Cameron, Dominic West.
‘BBC licence fee frozen for two years “to tackle cost of living” ‘(Telegraph) – we’ll see how that goes. And how far the likes of the Today programme or Andy Marr can haul government ministers over the coals for it without blanching in shame?
‘I like to be provocative‘ comedienne Katherine Ryan tells the Observer. ‘Is nothing out of bounds for queen of comedy…?‘ our Guardian on Sunday ponders. Queen of Comedy might be putting it a bit strong. We here recall Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis in that very interesting movie directed by Scorsese which explored the subject of toxic celebrity and fandom, The King of Comedy.
Personally, off the top of my head, I’d offer the crown to Catherine Tate. Sadly, Joan Rivers and Caroline Aherne, having left us for a better gig.
Digressing for a moment, on the subject of royalty, back to the Sunday newspapers: ‘Hitchens why I have just stopped supporting the Monarchy‘ (Mail) – I’m beginning to have my doubts these days, Pete.
One researches – so you don’t have to dear reader – our Katherine Ryan’s supposed controversy: ‘Katherine Ryan defends Mock The Week ‘Filipino’ joke that got her cancelled‘ (Metro September 2021)
‘...the 38-year-old presenter found herself in the firing line when an old joke resurfaced from her time on the show when, in response to the prompt ‘Unlikely lines from a cosmetics commercial’ she replied: ‘We don’t test any of our products on animals. We use Filipino children.’ – frankly that’s what used to be considered a left-leaning joke. That, my friends, is the sort of gag alternative stand ups such as Ben Elton who preferred to move on from mother-in-law material used to hammer home with his catchphrase line “A little bit of politics there”
‘Speaking to the Radio Times…‘, listen carefully, our Katherine knows her audience – or she used to in simpler times. ‘Katherine said: ‘What I was saying with that joke was that Western cultures present this pious image where they’re like oh, we don’t test products on animals‘
The Observer detects the whiff of Tory blood in the water: ‘Johnson sleaze crisis deepens amid pressure on Covid deals‘
Oh dear, why did it have to be Covid deals…! If only it were arms dealers they could turn their noses up at.
And finally: ‘Ministers accuse PM of leaving “toxic mess”‘ (Observer) – maybe it’s all that veggie grub Carrie has been feeding him? Anyway, get used to it… he’s certainly defecated all over the rest of us.
The BBC’s reporting, messaging I should say, on the Owen Paterson business has been the usual misleading, slanted stuff…the first question the BBC was keen to get out there was to ask if Boris was on the ropes and about to be throw out….wishful thinking on the BBC’s part as always.
The BBC weren’t actually interested in the facts or the real cause of the Owen Paterson farce they just channelled Labour’s narrative about sleaze…..a BBC political reporter wrapping up saying Labour relished this as they could paint the Tories as sleazy but Boris believed he could get away with it because the public weren’t interested….so pushing ‘the sleaze’ whislt damning Boris for not caring what the public think and trying to ‘get away’ with something…the BBC’s finest totally dodging the real reason Boris wanted this…the Standard’s process was bust…..no appeal for MPs and Paterson wasn’t allowed any witnesses for his defence.
I did note that whilst the BBC kept calling the Standard’s committee ‘independent’ they kept forgetting to mention the chair was a Labour MP and an ardent Remainer….it is rare that a committee announces a decision that is not in line with the Chair’s own mindset….so never independent of the Chair’s own prejudices.
Odd how the BBC report Labour claiming this is a threat to democracy and that retrospective legislation is a terrible thing…and yet the BBC glorified Lady Hale when she invented new laws and applied them retrospectively so that she could strike down the perogation and put a spanner in the Brexit works….but then curious how the BBC totally ignored Lady Hale when she said Parliament had surrendered to the lockdown Junta, failed to hold the government to account and put democracy at risk…odd, huh, that a very pro-lockdown BBC should forget to broadcast such statements?
Curious how the only commentators the BBC seemed to find were from the Mirror and the Remain FT….heard them so many times…and a Tory MP denounces Boris in The Mirror…lol.
The BBC chose the treacherous, backstabbing, half-deranged, bitter little man [John Major if you hadn’t guessed] who betrays his own country and party to speak on the prime 08:10 slot on Today to denounce Boris from the pulpit in the most lurid and bitter terms…the BBC knew he’d do this and they knew they’d have some great quotes to make headline news with…and they did just that using Major’s poisonous attacks as the breaking news story on their bulletins.
The BBC’s coverage of this story has been one long lie and anti-Boris black propaganda narrative.
Our, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster”, fomenting dissent and conflict whatever they do. They need disruption and as much as they can get (or create). All part of the Western Media’s joint efforts to bring down Western democracy or at least injure it mortally. I think many are thoroughly pissed off with their daily Marxism, fortunately most see through it now.
Ah… but the good thing is that they have not yet twigged that a growing number of people are now seeing through their partisan and 100% biased politicking.
The reputation of the BBC as an impartial public broadcaster is shoved further down the toilet every time they press their staff to engage in these left-wing murky offensives.
Sooner or later I predict that they will step over the line and do something that will bring their house of deceit crashing down. All it takes is one brave and true soul to jump ship, speak up and tell the troth about what goes on in their devious strategy meetings.
There is no such thing as too big to fail!

BBC halts search for murdered schoolgirl Karen Hadaway’s clothes lost by Martin Bashir
BBC boss Tim Davie has told Michelle Hadaway the Corporation failed her
He said the BBC is unable to ‘shed any further light’ on what happened
Bashir persuaded Michelle to hand over Karen’s clothes, promising DNA tests
BBC boss Tim Davie has told the mother of a murdered schoolgirl that the Corporation has failed to find her daughter’s bloodied clothes after they were lost by rogue reporter Martin Bashir.
In a letter to Michelle Hadaway, seen by The Mail on Sunday, Mr Davie said the BBC is unable to ‘shed any further light’ on what happened to her daughter Karen’s clothes and that ‘little more can be done’ to find them.
He apologised on behalf of the Corporation and said it will urge Bashir to make a personal apology.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10173315/BBC-halts-search-murdered-schoolgirl-Karen-Hadaways-clothes-lost-Martin-Bashir.html
Amid mounting questions about Bashir’s conduct, Mr Davie, the BBC’s Director General, asked Paul Smith, a former head of editorial standards at BBC Radio, to launch a review into what happened during the 2004 investigation.
But the BBC has revealed the review was ‘hampered by the passage of time because some of those people spoken to could not recall being approached in 2004 and others cannot remember details of what they knew at the time’.
Teflon Bashir again…
Panorama veteran wins compensation from BBC over Martin Bashir’s Princess Diana lies
The veteran BBC journalist Tom Mangold has won compensation from the Corporation after he was smeared for blowing the whistle on disgraced reporter Martin Bashir.
Mr Mangold and two colleagues from the Panorama programme warned their editor in December 1995 that Bashir had commissioned forged bank statements before his landmark interview with Princess Diana.
r Mangold’s concerns were dismissed at the time, with the BBC’s press office briefing newspapers that ‘jealous colleagues’ were trying to undermine Bashir. Mr Mangold said this was a smear against him.
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, Mr Mangold said: ‘I have received a personal apology from the Director General.’

Politics north this morning.
Apparently the number of councillors does not represent the percentage of minority groups.
Question 2. Why so few ‘right wing councillors?
That’s probably cos the BBC editor has done a huge hagiography piece about an Indian born northern LABOUR politician he calls black
and then tweeted it out to lots of people
“Ashok Kumar was the first black MP to represent the north-east of England in Parliament.”
“Thirty years after Kumar’s by-election win, BBC Politics North editor Michael Wild looks back at his career.”
FFS he only served a few months !
and “But his biggest personal struggle was over the Iraq war which he staunchly supported – against the wishes of many members of his own local party. In other contentious areas, like tuition fees, he also remained loyal to New Labour.”
Ah he got back in 5 years later
and served 13 years until he died in 2010
AFAIK he was born in India and had no African ancestry yet this BBC tweet
calls him “the first black MP to represent the North East in Parliament.
He overcame racism and personal tragedy to become one of Westminster’s most respected MPs. ”
Labour classed all brown as black ?

BBC Media editor Amol Rajan has been commissioned to make a 2-part expose of the younger royals which should prove interesting for some.
Anxious to appear un-biased, our Amol is quick to confirm that he has no major problems with William, Kate, Harry, Edward et al but not so keen on ‘…other royals, particularly scientifically illiterate Prince Charles, who champions policies that would lead to the murder by starvation of millions of Africans…’
Noble sentiments indeed, for an unbiased media editor, but surely this means he must include Attenborough, Rowlatt, Harrabin, Monbiot, Gore, Carney and a host of similarly illiterate celebs with identical beliefs and policies beneath his critical eye?
The BBC would idolise this young Black whizzkid….if he didn’t contradict their narrative about everything being systemically racist….Chess, so long dominated by white men, is surely systemically racist…no?….
As a rule, black people who’re happy with the skin they were born in seem to get on fine in the UK and any incidence of real racism here seems very rare. It’s the inadequates with low self esteem who’re constantly crying ‘racist’ when they don’t get things handed to them on a plate, who seem to suffer from (largely self inflicted) ‘bias’… am thinking the likes of David Lammy here.
At least that’s my experience, and I do have a number of black friends and acquaintances, who’ve all been pretty successful here in the UK, certainly no less so than me (a white, British male) and don’t want any part of the current race baiting drivel coming from the US. To be fair, some parts of the US do seem to still be extremely racist, but that’s their problem, not ours.

“Marched” … Two rough estimates by scholars of the numbers of just one group – black slaves held over twelve centuries in the Muslim world – are 11.5 million and 14 million, while other estimates indicate a number between 12 and 15 million African slaves prior to the 20th century.

“The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” -Albert Camus
The BBC just accepts as fact the apocalyptic claims of the likes of Boris, the Pope and the Queen that the end is nigh…there is no doubt, there is no questioning and in fact the BBC is itself quite happy to make the same claims and even send their own climate envoy, Attenborough, to CON26 to spread and hype similar sensational, doom-laden scare-stories….the BBC not at all bothered that one of its highest profile employees is making extremely political and controversial statements using his fame as a BBC presenter to bolster the dubious credibility of his propaganda.
The BBC is of course not wasting time elsewhere in promoting the climate change narrative….the airwaves flooded with tales of woe all #duetoclimatechange.
One was from Kenya where heavy rains and resultant flooding have had serious effects on some communities and farmers….this is due to climate change…or…er…is it?
Heavy rains and floods have long been a part of life in Kenya…..
‘The period from March to May is Kenya’s main rainy season, and often results in floods and displacement of communities. Some of the flash floods have been known to result in loss if life, for example, in April last year (2012) floods claimed the lives of 7 members of Church Group who had been trekking through Hells Gate National Park.’
‘Uhuru Floods represents one of the early attempts of studies initiated for the purpose of studying the extent and magnitude of the flooding menace that inundated extensive low lying areas and caused widespread damage and destruction of existing infrastructures; dams, bridges, homesteads etc. as well as other facilities that existed then in Kenya. Other noteworthy flood events occurred in 1963/1964, 1968, 1977/1978, 1982, 1985 and 1990. These floods mainly hit the Lake Victoria basin and the coastal areas of the Athi, Lamu and Tana River basins; however, the detailed features are not well documented.’
The BBC lies and lies and lies…and is fully instep with the government….the only criticism you’ll ever hear is that the government isn’t doing enough.
The BBC knew all along that the covid lockdowns could and would be used as a vehicle to drive in extreme and radical climate change policies…as we see happening…just 2 months after the first lockdown was imposed they were pushing that narrative…
‘Coronavirus: The environment’s big moment?
The coronavirus crisis has seen many changes to life as we know it.
The number of cars on our roads has reduced dramatically, planes are grounded and many of us are working from home for the first time.
It has resulted in cleaner rivers and better air quality, and global CO2 emissions are predicted to be their lowest in a decade.
Could changes we have been forced to make during the pandemic become long-term environmental solutions?’
We know full well that many BBC presenters looked wistfully at the Chinese dictatorship and wished we had such a regime that could impose radical, revolutionary policies on an unwilling populace without having to go to the bother of asking them first…and covid seems to have moved us rapidly down that path….democracy is so old fashioned and inconvenient…the BBC’s Justin Rowlatt for example…
‘‘I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while.‘
‘Climate change is a divisive issue. I believe that it is a real threat and needs to be tackled. I know many people disagree. But whatever you believe you should be concerned about how our society responds to the issue because there is a growing view that mitigating climate change means we have to change our view of democracy.’’
And so….his wish came true….
‘As Neil Ferguson said: ‘It’s a Communist one-party state, we said. We couldn’t get away with it in Europe, we thought…..‘And then Italy did it. And we realised we could.’ ’
And they did and are.
Sopes on the kind of story he loves.

A global temperature record from Nasa….800,000 years ago to now…..
Hmmmm…..up and down, up and down, up and down….
However this is the one the BBC wants you to see….a very shortened and carefully chosen slice of time and temperature…
Last week the BBC assured me that the world’s climate hadn’t changed since the time of the pyramids….temperatures had remained stable for thousands of years until old white men in Britain kicked off the destruction of the planet with their confounded machines.
Of course climate change, or the man-made causes of it as related by the BBC, would have started when Africans came out of Africa and as they developed into more intelligent and sophisticated beings they developed agriculture and industry…they deforested half the world and spread humanity across it with all that then resulted….so not really all down to old white men in the UK.
And does the BBC not acknowledge warmer temperatures in the Roman era or in the Medieval warm period or the little ice age…or the fact that the planet has been warming since the last big ice age?
The BBC just lies and lies and lies.
From Watts Up With That?…
‘No Mention Of The Little Ice Age, Justin?’
‘He visited the famous Portage Glacier to make his point.
It’s a pity the useless Rowlatt did not do his homework first. It is well established amongst glaciologists that glaciers in Alaska expanded massively during the Little Ice Age. Indeed, the remains of forests now being uncovered by receding glaciers, dated back to the Middle Ages, show that glaciers then were much less extensive than now.
It is also known that modern glacial retreat began in the 19thC, long before any supposed impact from AGW, which Rowlatt wants to blame.’
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/11/06/no-mention-of-the-little-ice-age-justin/
It is always a remarkable paradox that the BBC can report that receding ice reveals signs of human habitation and agriculture or industry and yet tells us the the melting ice is caused by us and the industrial revolution when the evidence clearly shows the planet was obviously warmer and inhabited by humans pre-ice…thus the warm temperatures are in fact normal not extreme.
The melting ice has revealed ancient field boundaries in Greenland (NB, note the name “Green”) which no one knew about. That may be worrying evidence of global warming, but it is also evidence that we have been here before.
‘COP26 and the green war on democracy’
The Great Leap Forward (Second Five Year Plan) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962. Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people’s communes. Mao decreed increased efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside.

I know that this isn’t really BBC relevant. But it could be. And
I am amazed that the BBC doesn’t realize it. Firstly is there
anybody in advertising out there? Maybe you could explain it
to at least 80% of us folk from the UK. What are adverts
supposed to make you want to do ? I may be naive , but I would
of thought that the main purpose would be that the manufacturers
of a product would like you to be shown a product so that
you will want to purchase it. Is that wrong? Or at least think about it. I reckon that advertising on TV is now the biggest turn off on the box . Please explain the reasons to me why I am
wrong.
Foscari, UK advertising was at a big high point in the 1980s and early 1990s. What helped with the downfall? EU regulation influenced things a bit. London had its own Madison Avenues, many more than New York. But the real cause of the downfall was money.
The success of the UK agencies in print and broadcast media had attracted shed loads of cash. The agencies expanded like crazy. Direct a successful TV Commercial one week, direct a major feature film in Shepperton or Elstree next month. Come up with a snappy slogan one week, write a Booker Prize winning novel next month.
The ad agencies expanded like crazy and had money to burn. This made them attractive takeover targets in an industry sector famous for its takeovers. The Europeans and the Japanese wanted a slice of the action now that New York no longer ruled the roost and they bought up many of the UK ‘stars’, whether agencies or the creatives running or working for them. The decline and fall. Very sad.
Foscari, I forgot that I had a third ‘disrupter’ to suggest to you: that was the advent of ‘digital’. On-line has made advertising very difficult for some agencies, just listen to Martin Sorrell. Print media is in a decline of sorts although you wouldn’t know it looking at the Sunday newspapers on the web-site of our favourite (ahem!) broadcaster: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-59194885, look at all the ‘supplements’. The nature of advertising has been changed by these additional outlets provided by on-line and I think the industry has found adapting very difficult.
Then there’s ‘wokery’ as another disrupter to the ad agency business. Mind you, the last really good TV advert that I watched on line was for a Bank and featured the BAME gent who actually became quite a star and ‘good fit’ for his role as a bank manager plus outside, in the street, some much loved 1960s cartoon characters, Top Cat and his gang. That was a good one. It is I think available round the U-bendChoob.
By the way, while we are talking advertising, have you watched the new John Lewis Christmas advert at all? What do you think?
Simple answer, advertisers are under the cosh of OFCOM who dictate what is acceptable, the actual advertisers have to fall into line to pacify their younger staff and to avoid getting blackballed to use an old but appropriate word.
digg, think you mean the ASA, Advertising Standards Authority, not OFCOM.
Yes, the advertisements make me feel so marginalized and disadvantaged because I do not belong – like 90% of the English population – to a mixed race family. How should I presume to buy the same things as they do?
Labour threw open the doors to mass migration in a deliberate policy to change the social make-up of the UK, secret papers suggest.
A draft report from the Cabinet Office shows that ministers wanted to ‘maximise the contribution’ of migrants to their ‘social objectives’.
The number of foreigners allowed in the UK increased by as much as 50 per cent in the wake of the report, written in 2000.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249797/Labour-threw-open-doors-mass-migration-secret-plot-make-multicultural-UK.html
But suspicions of a secret agenda rose when Andrew Neather, a former government adviser and speech writer for Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett, said the aim of Labour’s immigration strategy was to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date’.

In Africa albino (children) are sold to be murdered and their body parts used in witchcraft rituals, most of which seem to involve consuming them.

I suspected that this Owen Paterson ‘thing’ had a nasty whiff about it and it does now appear so. It doesn’t come from Mr Paterson. It appears to have been a Labour Party set-up all along. The Guardian (a.k.a. the Militant Print Tendency of the Labour Party) are claiming credit for it. See: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/05/lobbying-for-naked-bacon-how-the-owen-paterson-scandal-began
Needless to say the BBC (a.k.a. the Militant Broadcast Tendency of the Labour Party) have taken up the subject from earliest opportunity this morning at 7 a.m. and again at 8 a.m. on the R4 News and were all over it again at 1 p.m. on the World this Weekend with Jonny Dymond. No prizes for guessing what the Westminster Hour will be leading on tonight on R4. Even Sir Keir Starmer leader of Labour on his sick bed (supposedly) has issued ‘ a Communiqué ‘ to the media: “The Conservative Party are corrupt.” Will the UK listen to Sir Keir? More importantly, will anyone listen to Sir Keir?
For someone who has or who has had Covid, he looks remarkably healthy in this photo here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59196404
Has the sucker in charge of the Labour Party instead been ‘swinging the lead’ in true Union-stylee and really been off on a crafty holiday somewhere sunny while claiming ‘sick leave’? Conservative Party = Corrupt. Labour Party = Even More Corrupt. Perhaps those who watch the Andrew Marr show can advise me if that was an in person appearance by Sir Keir this morning. I hope Sir Keir hasn’t claimed a NI Refund and Sick Pay from the House of Commons. Perhaps Kathryn Stone will investigate?
No?
I thought not.
I switched the sound off, I prefer to go back to battle with Talk Talk
I just spent 4.5 hours on the live chat with Talk Talk helping my 78 year old neighbour who they are flagrantly double charging
In August they offered him a renewal package of £60 per morning, but discounted down to £30
So he said yes
He gets his first bill they charged him £60
He phoned them up “look it’s supposed to be £30
They say no your Sky Sports is £35 the only way to get it cheaper is to spend another £20 on Now TV
so he pays that
He gets the second bill they’ve taken another £60
They say “yep computer says”
He phones them look “I’ve paid £80 too much now”
I come in
They say you don’t have proof of contract do you
I say hang on just let me look in his email trash
“Yes here it is £60 discounted to £30”
They say “yeh but yeh for 2 hours”
Then finally agree to refund the £80 excess charges
but then say they can’t supply Sky Sports anymore
Why “Well we switched it off when he shouted about the price ..and he agreed to that, and now we don’t have the facility to switch it back on EVER”
FFS
per morning ..per month I meant
Talk Talk are simply impossible to deal with. I had to deal with an Indian call centre, and ended up just getting rid of them.
The only way to deal with them.
I did go back to battling with TalkTalk except they wanted every security detail under the sun when the old guy couldn’t remember his Pword.. and then told me to phone tomw anyway
I know this is not bbbc related but, living abroad my relatives often get me various retail outlet vouchers so I can use them when I can get to the UK. Well, I have £75 worth of Sainsbury’s vouchers some from the Christmas before last, be in the UK tomorrow so thought I’d peruse the Tu catalogue for clothes. Amazing how many dusky models there are. At least 3 to every whitey.

Xenophobic Attacks on Foreign Nationals
South Africa continued to be plagued by widespread incidents of xenophobic harassment and attacks against foreigners by mobs during 2020.The attacks and harassment were also committed by government and law enforcement officials. Non-nationals have also been harassed verbally and physically by South Africans for being foreign and not using local languages in their daily interactions. A common and hurtful insult thrown at foreigners is the label “kwerekwere,” a derogatory slang used by Black South Africans to mean “foreigner.”
Government and law enforcement officials throughout the country not only largely failed to ensure justice for xenophobic violence, but also operated in discriminatory and abusive ways against non-nationals. Some officials exacerbated xenophobia through inciteful rhetoric, while the South African Police Service (SAPS) and Metro Police used counterfeit goods raids as a cover to target foreign-owned shops and businesses. During the raids, police officers beat foreign shop owners and fired tear gas and rubber bullets at them. Ransacking and destroying their shops. Victims in the Johannesburg Central Business District and Diepsloot alleged that the police then resold confiscated goods back to them.
In coordination with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), police conducted abusive “documentation raids” in areas where many non-nationals reside, including by entering foreigners’ homes to verify documents and legal status while administering beatings.
While the 2019 National Action Plan to combat xenophobia, racism, and discrimination marked an important step toward recognizing and addressing these abuses, it has not ensured accountability for xenophobic crimes.
Women’s Rights
South Africa is facing a crisis of gender-based violence (GBV). In April, Police Minister Bheki Cele noted that police registered over 2,300 complaints of gender-based violence between March 27 to March 31, 2020, during the lockdown implemented to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
In June 2020, following protests against the murder of Tshegofatso Pule, a 28-year-old woman whose body was found dumped in Soweto, Johannesburg, President Ramaphosa acknowledged that South Africa had among the highest levels of intimate partner violence in the world. As much as 51 percent of South African women have experienced violence at the hands of someone with whom they were in an intimate relationship. He described violence against girls and women as South Africa’s “second pandemic,” after the coronavirus, and called on residents to end the culture of silence around gender-based violence and report perpetrators to the SAPS.
In September, Ramaphosa said three bills to amend the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters), Criminal and Related Matters Act, and the Domestic Violence Act had been introduced in parliament to “fill the gaps that allow perpetrators of these crimes to evade justice and to give full effect to the rights of our country’s women and children.” He said that a public register of sex offenders with all relevant details would also be introduced. Civil society organizations have expressed concerns that GBV victims faced worsening violence and the inability to access help under the lockdown
South Africa continues to criminalize sex work and prohibit other aspects of sex work. This includes criminalizing running or owning a brothel, living off of the earnings of “prostitution,” and enticing a woman into “prostitution.” Criminalization has undermined sex workers’ access to justice for crimes committed against them and exposed them to unchecked abuse and exploitation by law enforcement officials, including police officers. Although the Department of Health’s National Strategic Plan on HIV for Sex Workers is grounded in respect for the human rights of sex workers, criminalization hinders sex workers’ efforts to access health care, including HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
In October 2020, South Africa’s Department of Social Development said it has failed sex workers by not providing them with services such as counselling, safety and security and giving them other options to opt-out of sex work when they wish to do so. Deputy Minister of Social Development Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu committed to elevating sex workers’ issues. Some government departments expressed support for the decriminalization of sex work to assist sex workers to access all government services and reduce their victimization and exposure to violence.

South African bikers protest against attacks on farmers
Updated: 29/08/2020
Thousands of bikers across the country have converged at the Union Buildings in Pretoria in protest against farm attacks and racism in South Africa.
Dozens of predominantly white farmers are killed in crime-plagued South Africa every year, and police statistics show that 49 murders occurred on farms in the 12 months leading up to April.
Wearing face masks and with placards plastered to their vehicles, the protesting farmers drove in a long convoy which is about 220 kilometres (135 miles) north of Johannesburg.
A small group of farmers, including children, stepped out of their vehicles and held up their arms crossed in an “X”, symbolising their call for an end to the attacks.
The farmers want improved police security and better prosecution rates for crimes relating to farm attacks.
AfriForum, a pressure group that advocates on behalf of the country’s nine percent white population, said 216 attacks have been recorded so far this year, 26 of which were murders.
The group said the assaults and murders are not only targeting whites, but also black people and Indians
