Do you notice the exodus of main purveyors of bias and lies from the BBC ? Do they realise how hated it is because of its anti British Far Left poison ? Here’s to its ‘ demise .

    “I did a big project on this”

    Sounds like our Lucy over there at the Guardian just left high school.

    ‘All the civil servants I spoke to know…’

    As Darth Vader might have said: The journalistic force is weak in this one

    “…pull factors are a myth not supported by evidence” – then please explain for us the push factors apparently operating in France?

    “Politically convenient justification” – I believe they call this projection.

    “…for harsh asylum policies” – is this a spoof of some kind?

      Don’t forget the vice-President also inferred the whole justice system needs to be changed so it doesn’t happen again.

      And just imagine the tone of the BBC article if it were Trump making such comments when he was President.

      I’m watching all of this happening with an extreme sense of foreboding. It’s how revolutions start.

    It looks like to me that the BBC has found in Azeem Rafiq
    as an analogy in a way, the British ethnic
    equivalent of George Floyd. No manslaughter or worse
    as in the case of Floyd for a compulsive criminal. But so far as the BBC is concerned a latter day Muslim Jesus Christ being
    crucified by Yorkshire cricket club. Maybe being stoned to
    death is a better phrase.
    Rafiq seems to me, as boy a typical ,but talented, in the field of cricket Muslim kid. More than likely with anti-semitism a ” dirty
    little secret for Muslims. As Mehdi Hasan the esteemed Muslim journalist
    and presenter has said on Question Time. I won’t blame
    Rafiq too much for this . Because he was probably taught it
    from an early age.
    But as he grew up he began to indulge in the “vices ” of the
    infidels .Probably not at first under his own recognizances . But
    probably succumbed to them , as most of us do , in one form
    or another.
    I believe that it came to a position that his contemporaries
    he was playing cricket with him felt that the kind of “racist” banter that goes on between people of the same ethnic groups.
    Such as black folk calling THEMSELVES ,n***r or Non Jews
    or Jews shouting out YIDDO’S when supporting Spurs, could be
    applied to calling Rafiq a p**i. It would be interesting to know what Rafiq called them in banter or jest.
    We know a little bit more about Rafiq being one of the “boys”
    now. And one would not imagine in a million years this
    “episode” is not being done for anything other than altruistic reasons.
    Although fellow contributors. I have been in the gambling
    industry for nearly sixty years. And some of the “stories” I
    can tell, would be on the front page of every newspaper in the land. My advice to Mr Rafiq would let this story go to bed.
    But it’s probably too late now. BUT if the BBC carry on making
    a Saint out of this gentleman. they are going to finish up with egg on their face.

      As a fully qualified dinosaur i have to say that the hyper sensivity of all thing race or sex is just a madness of our time .
      Frankly a ‘ good person’ test should he applied . Clearly this pakk cricketer doesnt qualify because he has exploited his ‘ victimhood’ whilst saying and doing things which are shameful.
      The self censorship arising out of this sickness is now fully embedded – which i guess is part of the race industry aims .

      People just adapt to no writing comments or saying things without filtering them first . Their views are ‘ internalised ‘ and perhaps – strengthened .
      Mine certainly are .

    Just a thought. Liberals like to describe “Islamophobia” as an “irrational” fear of Islam. Then surely its antonym, “philia”, means an “irrational” love; so the BBC’s patent Europhilia is by definition irrational! Works for me.

    Many years ago I worked for a company that employed an ‘out of the box thinker’. Some people thought he was a bit ‘weird’ but I thought he was worth listening too, after all he was being paid to do his job by the company.

    After listening to one of his talks I drew a cartoon of him surrounded at his desk by lots of different timepieces, all showing a different time. He was drawn speaking on his phone and the caption was, “At least I know I don’t know the right time!”

    I think that ought to be the position of any sensible person, especially these days. The certainty of Ms Spring, coupled to her age, makes me think she is almost certainly wrong!

    Pug,
    Despite initial appearances to the contrary, I can only imagine what was said in the preliminary briefing between Billy Bunter and Nadine Dorries before she took up the position.

    BB thanked ND for instilling in the public that she was no fan of the BBC and for her emphasising her faux distaste for the “Most Trusted”.

    BB: ‘That was a good trick that got the public and other critics off our back temporarily and bought us a little time’.

    ‘Listen ND, the propaganda that the BBC spews out is in line with other major broadcasters in Europe and the US. It is designed to pacify the public who we would not want to even start thinking revolution / coup as a result of the various Governments’ patent mismanagement of their countries. If they start seeing the daily protests and rioting happening throughout Europe, for example, they might get the wrong idea and decide to have a go at that themselves.’

    BB: ‘No Nadine, much as we might find the BBC’s lies and distortions of the truth distasteful, on balance, its helping to keep the public down and in check.’
    BB: ‘I’m sure you understand. Now FO and do the job and don’t upset the BBC………..

    Not the BBC, I know, but this is The Sunday Times today (21 Nov 2021).

    Peter Conradi

    “The party’s leaders (The Freedom Party) have consistently downplayed the seriousness of the virus, opposed vaccination and promoted quack cures such as ivermectin, a potentially toxic dewormer blamed for serious illness among some who have taken it.”

    Ivermectin a quack cure?

    Am no expert, or even a doctor or other medic, but I was under the impression that it was on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, had been used in complete safety for about 40 years as a treatment for parasites, and had been found to be effective against Covid-19.

    This from the US National Library of Medicine:-

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33278625/

    “Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine the rapidity of viral clearance and safety of ivermectin among adult SARS-CoV-2 patients. The trial included 72 hospitalized patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh, who were assigned to one of three groups: oral ivermectin alone (12 mg once daily for 5 days), oral ivermectin in combination with doxycycline (12 mg ivermectin single dose and 200 mg doxycycline on day 1, followed by 100 mg every 12 h for the next 4 days), and a placebo control group. Clinical symptoms of fever, cough, and sore throat were comparable among the three groups. Virological clearance was earlier in the 5-day ivermectin treatment arm when compared to the placebo group (9.7 days vs 12.7 days; p = 0.02), but this was not the case for the ivermectin + doxycycline arm (11.5 days; p = 0.27). There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19. Larger trials will be needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

    Or this, from the same place:-

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/

    Background:
    Repurposed medicines may have a role against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The antiparasitic ivermectin, with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, has now been tested in numerous clinical trials.

    Areas of uncertainty:
    We assessed the efficacy of ivermectin treatment in reducing mortality, in secondary outcomes, and in chemoprophylaxis, among people with, or at high risk of, COVID-19 infection.

    Data sources:
    We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted and certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and additionally in trial sequential analyses for mortality. Twenty-four randomized controlled trials involving 3406 participants met review inclusion.

    Therapeutic Advances:
    Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian–Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis. This was also robust against a trial sequential analysis using the Biggerstaff–Tweedie method. Low-certainty evidence found that ivermectin prophylaxis reduced COVID-19 infection by an average 86% (95% confidence interval 79%–91%). Secondary outcomes provided less certain evidence. Low-certainty evidence suggested that there may be no benefit with ivermectin for “need for mechanical ventilation,” whereas effect estimates for “improvement” and “deterioration” clearly favored ivermectin use. Severe adverse events were rare among treatment trials and evidence of no difference was assessed as low certainty. Evidence on other secondary outcomes was very low certainty.

    Conclusions:
    Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

    Ivermectin a quack cure? Apparently not.

    It does seem extraordinary to see that publications which at one time in my life were regarded as reliable organs of record can have degenerated to the point where they peddle stuff like Conradi’s piece.

    Just been having a look at Tucker Carlson show on Fox and it reports that there are calls in Congress for Rittenhouse to be tried by the Federal courts rather than the Wisconsin State Court. It seems that such a process is indeed possible , ie you can be tried for the same alleged crime twice in different courts and different verdicts can result, the Federal one taking precedence.
    In normal times I think that such a move would never happen but with the current crop of democratic politicians in charge anything is possible.
    Perhaps it is just a ploy to stop a Rittenhouse suing the pants off just about every democrat MSM outfit and of course Biden himself. The Dems don’t prosecute if Rittenhouse agrees not to sue.
    The politicisation of the legal system in the US by the Dems has reached previously unplumbed depths. The country is now neither a democracy nor a country which has an impartial legal system. Where America treads the UK is not far behind.

      DT, Fedup2, GW et al,

      Rittenhouse cannot be tried again at the state level (double jeopardy) but the route the Feds will probably take is charging Rittenhouse with violating the Civil Rights of the people he shot (I refuse to call them “victims”).

      They used the same playbook with the Minneapolis police officers who were involved with the drug addict Floyd.

    “The Astra-Zeneca vaccine has all but vanished from the scene…what are people to think?”

    Here’s a clue. The price of AZ is between $2.15-$5.00 depending on where you are in the World. American pharma companies make nothing from this.

    Pfizer costs between £17 and £22 and the price of Moderna is between $22-$37. American pharma companies are reckoned to have made around $41 billion so far from their ‘vaccines’.

    Go figure.

    These numbers are from the hard left Guardian but hey, they are onboard with all this stuff anyway.

    Hmmmmm, so it seems that Amol Rajan – currently the BBC’s golden boy, is the ‘presenter’ of a documentary about the Royal family and its family disputes – due to be aired tomorrow. The RF are in a bit of a tizz about not having seen it beforehand.

    All that aside, I find it a bit rich, that Amol Rajan – born in India (and like the rest of them, pitched up here when in his infancy), has attached his colours to the mast of republicanism, by saying he thinks the Monarchy are “absurd”, amongst other things.

    This rejection by migrants – who know how the UK operates and under whose flag we fly, really pisses me off. Lucky old Rajan that he was able to arrive here in the first place due to India being part of the Commonwealth or he would still be living in God knows what conditions in Kolkata – or rather Calcutta as we know it, and unlikely he would have had a university education, but waddayouknow, he went to Cambridge here. Aren’t we the greatest ?

    Him and the rest of them, need to think, that had we no monarchy, there would be no ‘British Commonwealth”, no Commonwealth no access to the UK , and how life would now be for him and Savid Javid et al who are all here because their parents were able to move here.

    Alcohol is forbidden within Islam as it is harmful to the body. In the Qur’an , Allah says that any intoxicants or gambling are “from the work of Satan” (Qur’an 5:90). Therefore, Muslims consider that all non-prescribed drugs are the work of Satan and are designed to lead people away from Allah.

Cue claims of structural racism, systemic racism in healthcare, evil white technology. The coronavirus and the oximeter must be forming a sinister coalition to wipe out black people.

    Actually what is happening is merely a diagnostic inaccuracy relating to skin colour. Inanimate objects like medical devices are incapable of “racial bias”, which is a preference made by moral agents.

    Overplaying the race card on this one, I’d say.

    Just a couple of thoughts about these people crossing the Channel courtesy of the RNLI and the Border Farce.

    1. The RNLI are supposedly made up of volunteers, to my knowledge there’s only one professional life boat crew, that’s the one at Spurn Point on the Humber Estuary, so if they are volunteers, who is paying their salaries, doing their courses at yooni, etc.whilst they are casually cruising off Dover picking up the flotsam of the world?

    2. Living abroad, I visited the UK last week for a few days,I was in Pompey, what a desolate place it is now the RN has pulled all its shore establishments out of the city and surrounding area, anyway the point I wish to make is this, travelling on the ferry from Ouistreham my wife and I had to produce proof of covid double vaccination, Passenger locator form along with proof of a day 2 test having been ordered. Getting into Pompey, we had to provide the same proof. Who is subjecting these dusky visitors to our shores to the same rigorous examinations. Answers on the back of an envelope please.

    Armed police surround a factory in Manchester.
    No further details. I bet the BBC and the Socialist Worker’s Party are worrying

    BBC London news.

    Coverage of a demo exclusively by wimmin’ about the lack of midwives.
    Just think about all those occupations where there are more men than women. You can hardly move for the feminist protesters. So about about male midwives? Silence.

    Very next item. A scheme to keep wimmin’ convicted of minor offences out of prison. So what about men?

    The selective BBC. Where ‘equality’ means what they say it means, when it suits them.

      Midwives demo had good PR
      The BBC local news made the local demo the main item
      The ITV local news made the local demo the main item

    Something not reported by the BBC even though it’s from the AP.
    Covid cases in Africa are mysteriously low. At the same time hardly any one has been vaccinated there. Strange isn’t it. I wonder why the BBC don’t report on this and ask why it’s like that there instead of only asking Boris to lock us up again.

    If the BBC did honest proper reporting, their investigation would ask why low vaccine uptake seems to = low covid cases.

    No wonder the trust in the BBC is at at all time low. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-health-pandemics-united-nations-fcf28a83c9352a67e50aa2172eb01a2f

    Covid … The UK is closing on 10 million total RECORDED cases

    remember in the old days only the severest 10% of cases got test, so 90% didn’t get logged
    We are logging 1 million official cases per month
    Could it be that 20 million or 30 million have already had Covid ?

      Long past time that antibody tests were rolled out – it’s not like they don’t exist.

        The antibody test is the only one that’s important. It shows resistance to covid from vaccine or natural immunity which are equally as important
