Ha Ha Ha! This time XR has gone for the non taxpaying far left supporting Amazon on Black Friday and they have my full support!
Bezos whose company pays minimal amounts of corporation tax in Britain, and who himself paid no income tax in America last year, but gave $100 Million to the Democrat parties Obama fund can be blockaded for as long as the loons from XR can stand being outdoors in storm Arwen. It wouldn’t bother me if they froze solid whilst glued to the road and kept Amazons deliveries frozen even longer to be honest.
Even if the pols and media who are driving this are staying quiet until it is a done deal, folk are starting to notice this Climate Citizen’s Assembly is a a newer, better version of democracy with some very odd methodology.
To start with it ‘selects’, supposedly randomly, less than 10% of the population to be further filtered.
Once selected, and hearing about it, presumably if interested and motivated to look further, you are faced with a massive commitment of time sweetened by a bribe.
And with too much experience of BBC and BBC approved ‘research’, polls, etc, I’d say that final question on top of a bit of demographic pre juggling will see the magic 48 as representative as a QT audience.
“Citizen’s Assembly” comes from the Russian word Soviet
The elite select citizen, tell them what to think, hold a vote

Did you notice that, whereas the BBC is keen to 'fact check' critics of green politics & counter the 'misinformation' of 'extremists', it is reluctant to scrutinise the claims of XR.

Commons Speaker ruffles Boris’ feathers on Newscast
Commons Speaker ruffles Boris’ feathers on Newscast
Close
The Speaker of the House of Commons took his pet parrot Boris with him to a BBC Newscast interview and the bird caused some mischief in the studio.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle is regularly accompanied by Boris (the bird) in Westminster.
The Speaker keeps politically named pets at home – with Boris the parrot, Maggie the tortoise and Gordon the dog just a few examples.
I wonder when the penny will drop for Boris. It is clear that Macron has a visceral hate for him stemming from the Brexit vote so discussion with Macron is totally pointless. Macron is nothing but a drama queen.
Macron will do everything in his power to throw turds at Boris so Boris needs to be his own man again.
The French have nothing to lose and all to gain by blocking Boris’s plans for dealing with illegal immigration.
It’s time for him to accept this and start making other plans, the most obvious of which is to despatch lllegals back home immediately. This would take away the ‘draw’ factor overnight.
Boris would of course need to ignore the howls coming from the bleeding heart Liberals and just get on with it. The vast majority of the sane UK population would be with him on this.
All under a conservative party ….

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.
CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.
CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …
CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19
Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.
So for now we are left with a variant that raises significant concerns despite huge holes in our knowledge, and is one that needs to be watched closely and asks deep questions about what to do and when. The lesson of the pandemic is you can’t always wait until you have all the answers.

Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.
What is the Nudge Unit doing on coronavirus?
The Nudge Unit is working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care in crafting the government response. The most visible manifestation of its influence to date is in the communication around hand-washing and face touching – in particular the use of “disgust” as an incentive to wash hands and the suggestion of singing Happy Birthday to ensure hands are washed for the requisite 20 seconds. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/nudge-unit
A Turkish man accused of raping a woman in the Drypool Bridge area of Hull has denied the offence.
.. in the early hours of September 19.
He appeared in the dock before Hull Crown Court and spoke with the help of an interpreter.
The case was adjourned until March 14 for trial
Jun 26 @DaveAtherton20 tweeted In Hull girls, some going to primary school were raped & abused by 34 men of *Turkish*, Kurdish & Bangladeshi heritage.
All were under 16.
Many tv commentators point out that the French appear to just stand and watch as each inflatable is run out to the sea by dozens of doctors and nuclear physicists.
They will say they cannot stop them.
How long does it take to assemble and fully inflate one of these boats. They probably need some kind of compressor engine which will be noisy and they must assemble it near to the shoreline, probably in the dunes.
It will need some kind of roadway to drive the boat and compressor to the starting area plus the crowds of surgeons and engineers who will be the passengers.
Is the coastline so deserted that nobody notices all this activity going on for several hours before the launch.
I live on the NE coast and that sort of activity would be immediately seen and reported even without a £54 million police presence looking for them.
If they wanted to stop them they could.
They don’t want to stop them.
That contrasts with absolute saturation of the Libby Squires case
where eventually a Polish guy was convicted of her rape and murder.
An accomplice, Tracy Choi, 37, was a victim of Chik and proceeded to help him commit crimes. She was jailed for eight years. Choi had went to the UK for her education when she was 18 but stayed there illegally since, the court was told.
Hull Crown Court heard that Chik and Choi had orchestrated a seven-year “campaign of rape” involving three female victims in Hull.
It’s as if 1,000 real news events happen each day
and the media select bout 300 to even mention
and then select 20 for different levels of obsessive coverage.

Flashback: Biden suggested Trump’s coronavirus travel ban was ‘xenophobic’
The Biden administration restricted travel from several African countries on Friday
“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus,” Biden tweeted as a presidential candidate last year the day after Trump imposed travel restrictions from several countries including China into the United States. “We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
Biden also referred to Trump’s temporary immigration ban from certain African countries as a “disgrace.”
Vice-President Kamala Harris also criticized Trump on that issue calling the move “Un-American.”
Dame Rachel de Souza, children’s commissioner for England, said: “This kind of violence involving a child and with such tragic consequences is shocking at any time, but when the victim is 12 it’s particularly so.”
Getting to be pretty normal that those wielding the knives are of comparable age, something that no longer ‘shocks’.

Campaign to Protect Rural England among those who said it would cause harm
Ray Hartley, from the CPRE, said he was ‘astonished’ by green light decision
He said the only explanation was that pressure from Cop26 swung the vote
Historic England, the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and even officials from the local planning authority involved agreed it would cause unacceptable harm to the rural landscape. The planning application was submitted by renewable energy giant Voltalia UK to Dorset Council, which declared a ‘climate emergency’ in 2019, pledging to act on climate change.
It attracted 369 letters of objection from members of the public, three parish councils, Historic England, the CPRE and Dorset Council’s own planning officer, conservation officer and landscape architect.
CPRE said: ‘The planning officer recommended refusal, there were 369 objections and the council’s senior landscape architect said it would have a significant impact on the landscape.

NCA officers located Albanian Hazir Lala, 39, in Walthamstow, North London, on Friday night.
In April 2016 he was convicted of drunk driving, driving without insurance and possession and control of false ID documents – the offences were committed a few months earlier in February.
He was disqualified from driving for 15 months and jailed for six months.
He was arrested again in the UK on 4 September 2019 for organised immigration crime offences committed in Belgium.
His extradition was ordered and he was returned to Belgium in 2020 where he was convicted of human trafficking and participating in a criminal organisation.
He was given a five-year prison sentence but it was partially suspended. He was also ordered to pay a fine of 102,000 Euros but 51,000 was suspended.

Number of Omicron cases in UK soars by 50% in just one day!
by Junior BBC Staff Reporter
Experts are warning that the steps announced yesterday by the government to contain the ‘most terrifying virus yet’ are hopelessly inadequate, and that only a full blown lockdown, preferably backdated to November 1st, can help prevent the Worst Ever Winter ™ for the NHS. The stark warning was made after the BBC revealed that the number of Omicron cases had soared by an unprecedented 50% in a single day i.e. it was 2 yesterday and is now 3 today.
Meanwhile, in what can only be described as a provocative and blatant attempt at false news, the UK government has published figures showing that hospital admissions are down 11.2% in a week and the number of deaths that might be something to do with Covid (possibly) have fallen by 17.6% during the same period.

Commons Speaker ruffles Boris’ feathers on Newscast

The Speaker of the House of Commons took his pet parrot Boris with him to a BBC Newscast interview and the bird caused some mischief in the studio.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle is regularly accompanied by Boris (the bird) in Westminster.
The Speaker keeps politically named pets at home – with Boris the parrot, Maggie the tortoise and Gordon the dog just a few examples.

I wonder when the penny will drop for Boris. It is clear that Macron has a visceral hate for him stemming from the Brexit vote so discussion with Macron is totally pointless. Macron is nothing but a drama queen.
Macron will do everything in his power to throw turds at Boris so Boris needs to be his own man again.
The French have nothing to lose and all to gain by blocking Boris’s plans for dealing with illegal immigration.
It’s time for him to accept this and start making other plans, the most obvious of which is to despatch lllegals back home immediately. This would take away the ‘draw’ factor overnight.
Boris would of course need to ignore the howls coming from the bleeding heart Liberals and just get on with it. The vast majority of the sane UK population would be with him on this.

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’
CAS-4987700-SY1FTF : BBC NewsWatch says boredom with pro-Brexit march.
CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.
CAS-4939547-J71Z1V: Here’s hoping Ireland do the right thing G.Lineker.
CAS-4937378-YKMWBJ: BBC not reporting ‘Day of Freedom’ March 06may2018.
CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.
CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.
CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …
CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19
Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.
Cheers,
Mark

Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.

What is the Nudge Unit doing on coronavirus?
The Nudge Unit is working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care in crafting the government response. The most visible manifestation of its influence to date is in the communication around hand-washing and face touching – in particular the use of “disgust” as an incentive to wash hands and the suggestion of singing Happy Birthday to ensure hands are washed for the requisite 20 seconds.

Many tv commentators point out that the French appear to just stand and watch as each inflatable is run out to the sea by dozens of doctors and nuclear physicists.
They will say they cannot stop them.
How long does it take to assemble and fully inflate one of these boats. They probably need some kind of compressor engine which will be noisy and they must assemble it near to the shoreline, probably in the dunes.
It will need some kind of roadway to drive the boat and compressor to the starting area plus the crowds of surgeons and engineers who will be the passengers.
Is the coastline so deserted that nobody notices all this activity going on for several hours before the launch.
I live on the NE coast and that sort of activity would be immediately seen and reported even without a £54 million police presence looking for them.
If they wanted to stop them they could.
They don’t want to stop them.

Another Hull rape case seemed under reported, cos I have never heard of it
Hong Kong newspaper October 4th
“cop gets 33 years for UK rapes”
former Royal Hong Kong Police inspector, Ken Chik Ki-wai, 63, migrated to Hull in Yorkshire, England, (in 1997 before HK was handed back to China)

That contrasts with absolute saturation of the Libby Squires case
where eventually a Polish guy was convicted of her rape and murder.
An accomplice, Tracy Choi, 37, was a victim of Chik and proceeded to help him commit crimes. She was jailed for eight years. Choi had went to the UK for her education when she was 18 but stayed there illegally since, the court was told.
Hull Crown Court heard that Chik and Choi had orchestrated a seven-year “campaign of rape” involving three female victims in Hull.

Flashback: Biden suggested Trump’s coronavirus travel ban was ‘xenophobic’
The Biden administration restricted travel from several African countries on Friday
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flashback-biden-suggested-trumps-coronavirus-travel-ban-xenophobic
“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus,” Biden tweeted as a presidential candidate last year the day after Trump imposed travel restrictions from several countries including China into the United States. “We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
Biden also referred to Trump’s temporary immigration ban from certain African countries as a “disgrace.”
Vice-President Kamala Harris also criticized Trump on that issue calling the move “Un-American.”

Thanks Cop26! Fury as plans for 190 acre solar solar farm on countryside that inspired author Thomas Hardy are given the green light after pressure from climate summit swung council vote
Proposals for industrial-scale farm in near Sherborne in Dorset were slammed
Councillors ignored advice from experts and agreed to back the scheme
Campaign to Protect Rural England among those who said it would cause harm
Ray Hartley, from the CPRE, said he was ‘astonished’ by green light decision
He said the only explanation was that pressure from Cop26 swung the vote
Historic England, the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and even officials from the local planning authority involved agreed it would cause unacceptable harm to the rural landscape. The planning application was submitted by renewable energy giant Voltalia UK to Dorset Council, which declared a ‘climate emergency’ in 2019, pledging to act on climate change.
It attracted 369 letters of objection from members of the public, three parish councils, Historic England, the CPRE and Dorset Council’s own planning officer, conservation officer and landscape architect.
CPRE said: ‘The planning officer recommended refusal, there were 369 objections and the council’s senior landscape architect said it would have a significant impact on the landscape.

One problem with the BBC is that they emote on simply everything and then proceed to build myths and magical tales. If the BBC’s “News” were actually doing “News” one might actually see reportage of who these people are and where they’ve come from.

NCA officers located Albanian Hazir Lala, 39, in Walthamstow, North London, on Friday night.
In April 2016 he was convicted of drunk driving, driving without insurance and possession and control of false ID documents – the offences were committed a few months earlier in February.
He was disqualified from driving for 15 months and jailed for six months.
He was arrested again in the UK on 4 September 2019 for organised immigration crime offences committed in Belgium.
His extradition was ordered and he was returned to Belgium in 2020 where he was convicted of human trafficking and participating in a criminal organisation.
He was given a five-year prison sentence but it was partially suspended. He was also ordered to pay a fine of 102,000 Euros but 51,000 was suspended.

Number of Omicron cases in UK soars by 50% in just one day!
by Junior BBC Staff Reporter
Experts are warning that the steps announced yesterday by the government to contain the ‘most terrifying virus yet’ are hopelessly inadequate, and that only a full blown lockdown, preferably backdated to November 1st, can help prevent the Worst Ever Winter ™ for the NHS. The stark warning was made after the BBC revealed that the number of Omicron cases had soared by an unprecedented 50% in a single day i.e. it was 2 yesterday and is now 3 today.
Meanwhile, in what can only be described as a provocative and blatant attempt at false news, the UK government has published figures showing that hospital admissions are down 11.2% in a week and the number of deaths that might be something to do with Covid (possibly) have fallen by 17.6% during the same period.
