Start the Week 22 November 2021

The BBC is running compulsory courses for its’ staff . Perhaps the BBC – in a spirit of openess – will publish the contents and cost of said training . Perhaps posters could suggest course content …?
And on Monday night the BBC is broadcasting the first half of a documentary about the relationship of the Royal Princes and The Press – unusually without having given the Royal Household a pre broadcast viewing …

    Ahmaud Arbery case: Black armed militias gathered outside the courthouse, issue warning
    The New Black Panthers, BLM 757 and Judah Armed Forces organized the march that featured a dummy corpse inside a coffin

    “Ya’ll are in serious trouble because the wrath of karma is coming on America,” said a man who identified himself as the supreme commander of the New Black Panther militia. “We’re not taking it no more.”

    As prosecutors and defense lawyers delivered their closing statements, dozens of members of BLM 757, Lion of Judah Armed Forces and the New Black Panther Party marched outside the Glynn County Courthouse.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center has called the New Black Panther Party a “virulently racist and antisemitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against Whites, Jews and law enforcement.”

    BBC Moaning Emole has ‘Harry and the Media’

    nvestigator sorry for targeting prince’s ex

    A private investigator has apologised for targeting the Duke of Sussex’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy for surveillance when they were dating. Gavin Burrows says the press focused on Prince Harry in the 2000s as “the new Diana”. Mr Burrows tells us: “There was a lot of voicemail hacking going on, there was a lot of surveillance work on [Ms Davy’s] phones, on her comms.” He is a witness in ongoing legal cases against the News of the World and the Sun. His claims are yet to be tested in court and are strongly disputed. News Group Newspapers accepts a limited amount of unlawful activity occurred at the News of the World, but denies there was any wrongdoing at the Sun. It says it has not accepted liability in any of the phone-hacking cases brought against it.

      Colour is only relevant when the killer is white . Once it is established that it is another coloured criminal – such as this horror – descriptions and pictures are not used .

      A method so frequently used that it is embarrassing.

      Must be time for lammy and the race industry to moan about the number of coloured folk locked up ….. we are not allowed to know about the numbers of younger coloured killers because their ‘identity is withheld for legal reasons ‘….

    Hogo-tied – and that doesn’t refer to Peppa Pig

    Not to be too jarring, first thing in the morning, the BBC online news frontpage presents us with about the most vanilla headline possible for the Wisconsin Christmas celebration killings:

    Parade incident driver to be charged with homicide

    Parade incident implies one of the marching band majorettes might have accidentally dropped her twirling baton. Move along, nothing to see here – as the saying goes.

    Click on the BBC header and you get this: ‘Wisconsin: Driver ‘intentionally’ mowed down people at parade‘ – oh, so this incident is newsworthy.

    BBC News has also reviewed the records belonging to the suspect.

    How interesting that our BBC have taken it upon themselves to get to the bottom of this one. I wonder what they hoped to find? A MAGA hat perhaps?

    In a statement on Monday, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, a Democrat, said the bail recommendation in Mr Brooks’ open court case was “inappropriately low in light of the nature of recent charges and the pending charges” against him.

    (My emphasis on the term Democrat)

    So we see Democrats tough on crime – according to their BBC mates over this side of the pond.

    Not everyone over there is in the corporate news in-the-tank-for-the-Dems bubble and has that same take: ‘Waukesha parade attack won’t get ‘wall-to-wall’ coverage because it’s the ‘wrong narrative’: Greg Gutfeld. “Ridiculous liberal bail reform policies [are] at the center of the horrific Christmas parade attack that killed five people and injured 48 others,” co-host Jesse Watters said. ‘ (Fox News)

    Yep, we sense this story disappearing from the headlines faster than a suicide bomb attack on Remembrance Sunday story.

    Jabbing us in a similar vein over here was the early release on parole of child killer Colin Pitchfork, who was fortunately recalled to prison preventing another offence as he was already reportedly approaching young women.

    The Daily Mail notices the significance of this story: ‘Parole shake up to keep public safe

    Our BBC has other safety concerns as it ponders: ‘Covid: Can UK avoid a Europe-style return to lockdown?

    The obvious answer is of course we could – Lockdown is a political and administrative choice.

    But let’s define the terms somewhat within that question the BBC poses and explore what it really means.

    Europe is sliding into panic. The latest lockdowns set a dangerous precedent, says Jonathan Sumption‘ in the Telegraph.

    So will our government be panicked into unprecedented authoritarian measures – which could lead who knows where – here in the UK?

    Certain people over here have the taste for it: ‘GP who says: Make covid jab COMPULSORY‘ (Daily Mail) – please define your terms, doc – would that be the first two jabs, or the booster jab, or whatever the next booster might entail?

    For no apparent reason other than perhaps increasing anger at the attitudes of our former family doctors, now universally referred to as GPs – I’m reminded of that ancient gag about the chap who went to see his doctor and was prescribed a suppository. He returned to the surgery the next week complaining of a sore throat – he’d been swallowing the tablets – “Doc, I know you told me to take the pill in my back passage, but I only have a cupboard under the stairs

    Two Telegraph features reveal our mixed attitudes to Lockdowns: ‘Face it. Why I won’t give in and wear a mask‘ or, should you prefer: ‘Help! I’ve got HOGO. How to cure the hassle of going out

    The Express alone complains of: ‘It’s a “national emergency”… Anger at migrant crisis

    Whistling into the wind there, I’m afraid.

    I suppose every little helps – as the elderly lady said as she peed in the sea.

    And as an appendix to today’s headlines:

    My appendix agony, by TV news star Reeta‘ (Daily Mail) – wishing her all the best and all that – but when did autocue dollies become news stars?

      I don’t know anything about new stuff with Lush
      but the historic fundamental problem with them, is that they fund anti-frackers.

      Fracking should have been dealt with in a democratic way
      not allowing eco-thugs to bully.
      Successful fracking would have both brought money to the UK and LOWERED its CO2 footprint.

        If we were really concerned about ‘green house’ gases then we would be making minimal use of long pipelines.

        All pipelines leak and the longer they are the more they leak. That alone justifies UK fracking rather than using Russian gas.

        But that is par for the course, cut UK manufacturing to ‘decarbonise’ – then get the Chinese to make it, using goodness knows what processes, then ship it all the way here.

      Does the BBC charge the presenters for using the BBC brand to promote these items?

      Does the BBC get a kick back to reduce the TV License with each successful sale of these products?

      Can you tell me how this works … do the items on sale conform to the BBC core values and guidelines?

      Many Thanks.

    The BBC are so woke that they can’t see the strategic issue when it’s staring them in the face.
    On Toady we had a first in a long time. An actually interesting and important story about business.
    Astra Zeneca are opening a massive new R and D centre in Cambridge. This is good news. The country has a genuinely world class critical mass of Life Sciences in that area. And Justremainin was being shown round by CEO Pascal Soriot.

    They talked about the AZ vaccine given away at cost when the other makers are making money by the bucketload.
    Then Justremainin mentioned the issue that we are good at ideas and inventions but they are monetised elsewhere. This was taken to mean outside Cambridge and the chance was lost and Justremainin didn’t follow it up. Cretinous.

    Because THAT is the key issue. The UK, kowtowing to the wokes of which the state funded BBC is a main player, is not allowed to make money. Business is basically frowned on as being a rather seedy activity, much less virtuous than the wonderful public sector. Drug companies are not allowed to ‘make a profit at the expense of others misfortune’. Other company bosses shamefully are happy to sell out, cash in their shares, and retire, instead of building up the business.

    No such problems for Pfizer, Moderna, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Google. Ooohh look, the US economy is doing rather better than ours……

    Maybe the BBC could be positive about business and not seek to report each and every minor misdemeanor.

    TOADY Watch #1 – the BBC wants the first word and the last word in the prime TOADY interview slot

    8.10 a.m. with Justin and Mishal. Justin seems uncertain as to the name of the Political Editor (you mean there’s more than one? – Part-time, you have a rival!) of BBC TV’s Newsnight. Nick Garbled-Surname, aforesaid PE of the aforesaid TV Programme, got in the first word before interviewee Jeremy Hunt MP, Chair of the House Committee on Health and Social Care could say anything.

    During the interview, poor old Jeremy was trying to reply to questions and Justin interrupted him after a Hunt had said a couple of words. The BBC view of the UK and the world must prevail! I expected the BBC to double-team against Jeremy Hunt with Laura Kuenssberg but Part-time must be on her hols (again! – at taxpayer expense), either that or on a long weekend back in Edinburgh.

    Instead Nick Garbled-Surname was brought back for an afterword on the PM, on Jeremy Hunt MP and what he had said, on the universe and on everything.

    Now I don’t know anything about him but a senior cardiologist once told me that many of the cases of middle-aged men having a stroke is connected to cocaine use. I must stress that I have no idea whether Mr Soames has ever taken such substances, but whenever I hear of such cases, I think of the cardiologist’s words.

      And here is what Colin Brazier has to say about the BBC and Amol Rajan (last 3 paras):

      “The crown makes the state into something flesh and blood. The royals are imperfect, just like the rest of us. And the squabbles between its members are part of that story.

      But Amol Rajan, openly republican, is not the man to tell that story. Not while the BBC treats us, not as equal citizens, but – effectively – as subjects. In a free society we should be able to register our disapproval of the BBC’s actions by taking our custom elsewhere. Under the license fee, we can’t. On pain of prosecution.

      Everyone who works for the BBC enjoys a sort of inherited privilege. They don’t have to go out into the marketplace and compete for customers, like we have to. Ultimately, their livelihoods are guaranteed by law, just like the royals.”

      Of course now that Dacre has decided not to have another go at becoming the Ofcom head and the BBC loving Ed Vazey is favourite for the post, it will need to keep treading carefully. I’m sure that the Guardian, BBC, Ch4 and Sky would like nothing better than to see it ground down by Ofcom.

    Morning Star Web Site book recommendation …

    China, after its revolution, has achieved the greatest improvement in life of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any country in human history. China’s Great Road explains how China achieved this enormous step forward for humanity. The unequivocal answer the book gives is that socialism achieved this huge advance. It analyses this at numerous different levels.

    If the international left does not raise itself to understanding China’s successful socialist development then it is lagging in understanding one of the most enormous facts in human history. China’s Great Road both analyses China’s reality and shows how socialists in other countries can and should learn from China.

    The Guardian like to keep us informed, from the never-ending supply of ridiculous bitchy opinions presented as facts from the nutty and rabid “humans are evil” crowd we now get the ultimate in sheer juvenile bilge.

    Men’s meat-heavy diets cause 40% more climate emissions than women’s, study finds.

    https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/nov/22/mens-meat-heavy-diets-cause-40-more-climate-emissions-than-womens-study-finds

    I do admit to some “emissions” after a heavy meat meal but my wife is just as capable at producing astounding “emissions” of her own.

    I can only assume that the juvenile people who produced this report probably had a high feminist or trans head count.

    What I can only file under the heading of hot air!

    I fully expect this to be a main feature on the BBC news tonight as it is much more on their trend than a few dozen folk in the USA having an “accident” with a stray car.

      It’s a well known fact that vegetables cause more noxious and resounding efforts than meat.

      Cows are vegetarian which is why they get blamed for more hot air than a Labour Party Conference.

      As cows are vegetarian a good steak can count as one of your five a day.

    Marcus Rashford is poised to leave the Roc Nation agency despite being with the company founded by Jay-Z for just over a year.

    The Manchester United star campaigned for free school meal during his time with the company, with the Government performing a u-turn as a result of his efforts.

    Rashford has worked closely with Kelly Hogarth, Roc Nation’s vice-president of strategy and communications, and she too is expected to leave the company.

    The England forward is no longer listed as one of Roc Nation’s clients on their website.

    He was previously represented by D N May Sports Management – run by his brothers Dwaine Maynard and Dane Rashford – for his last contract with Manchester United, according to the official paperwork lodged with the FA.

      Maybe rashford can go off and prepare for playing in the championship …

      … elsewhere -over the last 3 weeks a professor of politics called runcimen has been presenting a 3 part series about politics and time

      It is muddled and quite cleverly biased compared to normal BBC propaganda

      For instance it assumes that Biden is both a legitimate president as well as mentally sound – both of which are untrue .

      Plenty of of anti democratic poison is injected into it along with the liberal assumptions about the way people behave and vote .

      A sad complete mess.

        Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,

        You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.

        Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

        ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

    A physicist, engineer and a statistician are out hunting. Suddenly, a deer appears 50 yards away.

    The physicist does some basic ballistic calculations, assuming some effect from gravity, lifts his rifle to a specific angle, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards short.

    The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, lifts his rifle slightly higher, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards long.

    The statistician yells “We got him!”

    The, “Balkanisation” of the UK. I think I was the one to first introduce this concept here 3/4 weeks ago. I recall suggesting that the country is heading in that direction and questioned what the political elite would do about it when they saw the country heading rapidly for some Lebanese scenario from the 70/80’s. This short video suggests that others think that way and indeed, as a result of physical nearness, confirm symptomatic events.

    I have one suggestion. Get rid of the worthless Khan and demand that one, Anthony Bliar takes over as Mayor. Let him put things right since he is responsible for most of the problems – just manifesting themselves. Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, the list is now endless. Serious problems looming, certainly when the AK47’s arrive ……………..

    ‘Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed.

    Even if they have no or few symptoms, the chance of them transmitting the virus to other unvaccinated housemates is about two in five, or 38%. ‘ BBC

    Campbell was agreeing heartily on his show with those who decried others who will not get vaccinated…we had a doctor tellling us the unvaccinated are putting his staff at risk whilst a caller came on to say if he was smoking at a concert someone would object…just as he objects to people going to a concert unvaccinated putting him at risk….Campbell said it was a well made point….except of course it’s nonsense.

    You can be double jabbed and still transmit the virus…the BBC abive telling us ‘just as infectious as those who haven’t been jabbed’…so all those ‘putting me at risk’ jibes are so much hooey….unfortuantely hooey appalauded by presenters like Campbell who are fully aboard the ‘you must be vaccinated’ bandwaagon.

    Campbell was almost silenced by another doctor who said forcing people to have vaccinations and all the other draconian measures are a ‘hammer to crack a nut’ and completely unnecessary…oddly Campbell didn’t want to talk about that…and no praise for a ‘well made point’.

    LOL….BBC united nations photo….

      I’ve just been reading about how many ships are stuck in Arctic ice because it’s a lot colder than they expected.

      And we are supposed to believe they can accurately predict that global temperatures will rise 1.5 degrees in 50 years unless we pay out lots and lots of money to those telling us to stop it.

      The world is full to the brim of Left-wing propaganda and young activists like Greta believing 100% they are right about something they do not actually understand at all. The significant thing for me is that they do not have the wit to realise they don’t understand it. Which – in my experience as an engineer – makes their opinions worthless.
