On Monday in the city of Bridgetown, Prince Charles will be forced to witness the spectacle of Barbados officially becoming a republic as it removes the Queen as its head of state…
The decision appears to have been influenced to some degree by China’s activities. Barbados has signed up to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), while an office to facilitate investment in Barbados has opened in Beijing. Prime Minister Mia Mottley calls President Xi ‘very engaging’. Barbados was among the first English-speaking Caribbean countries to establish ties with China and Beijing is now making millions of dollars’ worth of donations to the country’s armed forces.
Never understood how a country can relinquish having the Monarch as head of state, yet still be a member of the Commonwealth. All the benefits we can throw at them, and hand out for help when they need it, oh, and the ability to retain a British Passport (correct me if I’m wrong, as its in the name of Her Maj), yet they don’t want her on their stamps.
It’s worse than it looks, because China isn’t coloured in.
Brown player has Africa and Asia, along with half of Europe and South America… that only leaves North America, and Australasia, time to concede defeat.
This Omicon has enabled the Krankie to come out of her bunker where she has been holed up for weeks while disaster after disaster
(mainly in the form of cover ups ) are levelled at her and her obnoxious party.
bBc of course ready to provide her the podium.
Dont fall for her deflection tactics….her party is in trouble here…
She wants the emotional battle with England…they’ve got nothing else to offer and have failed Scotland.
Tell you what I don’t believe a single word that comes from the SNP and certainly don’t believe there are 6 cases of it in North Lanarkshire…unless a boatload of South African have been deposited there.
Do not believe a word from the SNP….if the Justice system up here hadn’t been compromised by these people there is sufficient
for a right good few of them to be arrested.

Last Monday nut nut had his peppa pig moment – this Monday fick ange was speaking about improving the standards of elected officials .
Then she was asked about the red labour cabinet reshuffle which starmer was announcing as she spoke – and clearly knew nothing about ….

1970 …. The Telford child sexual exploitation scandal is an ongoing scandal in the United Kingdom. Originally, a group of men were convicted of grooming local children for sex between 2007 and 2009 in Telford in the English county of Shropshire.[1][2][3] While media reports had suggested 100 or more girls had been affected[4] and around 200 perpetrators were suspected,[5] the Sunday Mirror reported in March 2018 that up to 1,000 girls may have been abused, with some even murdered, in incidents dating back to the 1970s.[6]
But Barbados is not the only Commonwealth country which has attracted China’s attention. In fact China is increasingly developing military and diplomatic links with Commonwealth states and its military training institutes are taking in growing numbers of foreign students.

I’m guessing – on a busy news day – the conviction of four ‘boys ‘ aged 14 – 18 on the murder of a 15 year old boy in Birmingham ? Won’t make much news …
Particularly since the killers are all coloured along with the victim .
From a brief look at this savagery he was both shot and stabbed in a planned execution . But strangely the trial didn’t find a clear motive for the murder .
Does it strike you that the number of these killing with both victim and killer being teenagers – is going up ?
My days of studying criminology are long gone and I’m not minded to search for the data – but the demography of murder victims seems a lot lot younger – including the 12 year old in Liverpool who was allegedly killed by at least one ( charged ) 14 year old .
Something must be done ….. ( it won’t be )

This is where maxi points to a list of white rapists in his desperation (for reasons unknown) to defend these people but completely ignores the fact that Pakistanis make up less than 2% of the population.
It’s the shameless hypocrisy like his which makes me detest everything he and his BBC colleagues stand for. They are a cancer in society. And I honestly think they are so far up their own backsides with their ‘groupthink’, they are absolutely ignorant of what they are.
And in Pakistan a 1000 strong mob turned up at a police station holding a man who burned a copy of the Koran demanding the police hand him over so they could set fire to him. The police refused so they set fire to the police station and police cars.
People with this sort of brutal mindset are turning up here every day to join the millions already here.
Not a bright outlook for the future of this Country in my opinion.
I feel sorry for the guy. If he is innocent, he didn’t deserve to have his life wrecked, but I feel even more sorry for the thousands of girls raped and abused, and their families, they didn’t deserve to have their lives wrecked either (and I’m pretty sure the girls’ experiences and the lasting scars – physical and mental, were considerably worse.)
A bit late to the party.
But must congratulate the Today programme for this morning’s edition.
The most unbiased and impartial edition I’ve heard in years……..when they went completely off air because of a fire evacuation alarm.
More please.
It’s not even shocking any more. When you open the article to see it, you know what to expect. The BBC have only told us because the police have released the picture.
What really makes my blood boil is when the Left try to explain it away as our fault because we are all racist. It’s culture : they do it plenty in Africa too.
One noteable point for the story is that nobody has any clue of what the motive was. That tells me not one of them or the people who got questioned would talk to help whitey.
ITV locals news all the usual mask fanatic stuff
… “Boris is not a leader, he didn’t wear a mask in a hospital”
And they are not truth tellers
cos they failed to mention that he’s already had Covid so he would have been extremely unlikely to be breathing any Covid out
I suggest the following to help decide if presenters are worth the TV Tax paid under threat of prison …. maybe Carrie Gracie can produce one to justify her pay as well?
New EU Directive BBC Programme Labels – for a new transparent and accountable and gender fair BBC
“I, Jeremy Vine, cost the public £750K* per year which is the equivalent to 21.5 nurses on £35K, declare that I have no other incomes derived from my broadcasting at the BBC. I have declared all my expenses and registered all gifts on the BBC expenses website. I, Jeremy Vine on this 30 minutes of show, with production time of 2 hours at an hourly rate of £1153 cost you the public £2884*. This does not include the studio and team wages. All monies I make from my ‘BBC Brand’ go back into the BBC. I follow the BBC guidelines – not giving my opinion on subjects that I know little about on twitter, facebook. If I do give an opinion then they are 100% in agreement with the BBC and have been approved by the BBC at time of publishing. Please note that reading out this EU compliant notice just cost you, the public enforced to pay my wages under threat of prison, a total of £76*.”
* hourly rate is rough calculation, without knowing Jeremy Vines full wage it will be hard to workout. Figures are for illustrative purposes only. They may go up or down depending gender or TV Tax, but are NOT linked to the talent market.
Most LA areas are showing that the upward trend in infections, Stew, is for those aged under 60. I don’t recall a lower death figure than today – 35 – can you, except obviously at the start of the Pandemic last year? There was an error in the BBC’s maths for the reduction in hospital numbers: it should have been 113.
Brazier – on GBNews – had an interview with a research doctor called Raghib Ali who explained the current state of the latest virus ( he described it as an over reaction ) and the need to wear a mask ( 10% prevention ) booster( 80% protection) in an interview which – unlike the smell of panic in BBC interviews provided a mature approach to this issue.
The point is that Labour MPs are not employed, but sponsored by trade unions, and Angela Rayner receiver £180k in the first three months of the year alone from 11 different doners. She is said to be a multimillionaire, not bad for someone with more kids than O levels.
The media can use this to attack opposition MPs and deprive them of external funding while the Labour MPs can continue accessing theirs.

Honoured to be appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Affairs. At a time when Britain is recasting itself on the world stage, I look forward to setting out Labour’s vision for a values-led foreign policy based on cooperation & internationalism
My first/gut take is that Lammy has been installed merely as a messenger boy between co-operating EU-type ‘internationalists’ – a sort of low-grade Mandelson. The FO has fingers in both the HO and MoD pies.
I may be ‘overthinking’ it.
The Bangladeshi Broadcasting Corporation has learned from scientific sources that the latest variant of Covid 19 is the Foxtrot Uniform Kilo Echo Mike Alpha Lima Lima variant ( short title FUKEMALL), it has been reported by a well known communist scientist as used by the aforesaid BBC that people will require 4th, 5th and 6th boosters. They will be available to all and sundry once Gordon Brown gives the go ahead, after all the bame countries have been served.
Re: COVID the latest version the BBC is hyper ventilating about is borderline Medical concern. Its political trumping ‘to be on the safe side of history’ although the Science is weak to non-existant. US and UK Media scare stories are all linked and ‘managed’, some more hysterical than others BBC is up top of the food chain, LBC somewhere and GB News damn skeptical, as it should be. None of this is going to end well.
The Vaccines do nothing much, the PCR test are designed to ‘add’ to the pandemic and role out false ‘booster’ cures every six months, for life, there really is a plan— to make it drugs for life, – as long as you live. They (BIG PHARMA) cannot be prosecuted either, sued or made liable. That was the deal to invent ‘a cure’ sold across western nations.
Its sealed with a kiss by the UN. Wrapped up with Climate Change and ‘Global Reset’ promises of a new red dawn.
I do wonder what goes into the vaccines and whatever it is, it will have serious side affects sooner or later.
(Excerpt from 36 page report) “On 20 September 2021, a press conference was held at the Institute of Pathology in Reutlingen, Germany in order to present in Part One, “Cause of Death under Covid-19 Vaccination”, the findings of pathologists Arne Burkhardt and Walter Lang who had investigated ten deaths of persons over 50 who had died in temporal context of being administered so-called COVID-19 vaccines, including Comirnaty from Pfizer. In Part Two, “Undeclared Components of Covid-19 Vaccines”, non-biological items found in the vials of these products were presented and discussed by various participants, including physicians across and outside of Germany. (101)
What worries me is the ‘unidentified parts identified by the Doctors (with alarming photographs of totally ‘alien’ parts to the vaccine not known to medicine). See images in PDF pages 38-44. Unidentified objects.

There is Forsensic photographs (Pages 38-44) to this but you have to plough through the report pages with proper links intact. The conclusion is pretty damning. I have no doubt it is a well co-ordinated fraud going on.
Not BBC but ITV who feature a family wanting to take the expensive ferry across the channel on a one way basis.
They have a child. It has learning difficulties.
The UK taxpayer must be thrilled, especially those wanting to allocate resources to the education of their own children.
I have been looking at some of the images that the left-leaning post all the time on Facebook, lots of “F**k the Tories” and the like, so much love, not.
In reality the Tories have just become the polite variant of the Labour Party.
Back in the late 1960s the local parliamentary candidates were invited in to address our sixth form. I was struck the by the passion and positivity of the young Conservative candidate, something I have never heard since.
The nearest has been Candace Owens, but then she isn’t British or a politician and the BBC would probably class her as an ‘Oreo’.
I lost all hope when Cummings was removed and replaced by Nut-Nut.
The wine-on-the-sofa screaming escapade at Boris told me everything I needed to know. I suspect it happened regularly and I think those Lefty activists who recorded it were waiting for several weeks for her to do it again.
Taffman – only in the context that the red brand would be even worse …..I’m hoping that the blue labour brand will get a kicking in coming x3? Bi elections and they lose all 3 – including Southend …
With Barbados in the news, and all the talk of slavery, colonialism, racism et al, got me thinking of our coal mining industry back in the day. Miners went underground working at a height of 3′ (yes three foot) at the coalface for 8+ hours, where health and safety were just words in a dictionary, and the threat of carbon dioxide – hence the canaries, roof cave-ins and flooding were an everyday occurrence and hazard, all for a few shillings a week, while the slave-master – sorry, mine owner lived in a big house on the hill.
Those that keep shoving ‘white privilege’ front and centre in the media need to revisit recent history books, and I for one would love to know how many non-white miners there were in the coalfields of the UK in the period 1875 to 1945, at which point the coal industry was taken into national ownership.
My Great Uncle John wasn’t allowed to join up for the First World War, as he was too short! Presumably he was less than 5’3″ in his socks, but he was a miner, and therefore a damn sight better equipped than a bloke a foot taller in that job, but there you are, the powers that be decreed that such people couldn’t enrol to fight for King and Country!
So, when they got a little short of numbers in France, a call went out to relax this height restriction, and get more numbers in the ranks! They were called Bantam Regiments, for obvious reasons, and while I’m so proud to know that another member of the family answered the call, I was saddened to learn that he fell in 1916, and never returned. Apparently, he was supposed to be going to Africa, then the regiment suddenly turned back to northern France and he died there.
“MI6 must adapt to new technology to survive, says spy chief” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59470026
IMHO with over25000 invaders landing on our shores illegally they will have more than enough to to contend with.
I expect they all moved over to MI5. I remember reading a few years ago that a landmark had been reached where we were having to spy on more people INSIDE our country than outside.
Speaking of MI5, I recently started watching ‘The Professionals’ again. What a classic show : a bit dated now of course, but it’s really stood up to the test of time. Pure entertainment, no agenda. Same as ‘The Sweeney’.
I checked for online reviews and the general concensus was ‘Despite what you have read on the internet, it’s much better than you would expect’ so the woke cancel-culture has obviously had a go at it.
I see it now and again also, (the Professionals) fine for the nostalgia but disagree with the car chases, I had a mk 2 escort once, worse car I ever had, had to use the crawler lane uphill sometimes, try driving one like they do fat chance.
and a single bullet would probably disassemble it, had a big Granada though that was fun
Gordon Jackson is great also, I had a smaller Capri which went like a rat up a drainipe, my first car, no one would believe me when I told them how fast it accelerated, then the prop shaft broke and we could not find another that fitted and we found it was fitted with a German racing gearbox
I enjoyed Capri baiting when I had a Mini – they would chase you on the straights but got left behind on the bends. Not many straight roads in Fife so lots of fun!
The MI5, the CIA and the KGB are having a competition on neutral ground, on the edge of a big German forest.
They decided that each of their parties should catch a rabbit, using their espionage skills. The party that manages to catch the rabbit the quickest, wins.
First, the MI5 leaves for the forest. When they emerge eight hours later, they carry a live rabbit in a cage.
“We posted lookouts around the forest, and after spotting the rabbit, we shadowed it until it showed us his hideout, we then just placed the cage over the entrance and waited for the rabbit to fall in our trap. Neat and simple.”
Now, it’s the turn of the CIA. They leave into the forest and emerge four hours later, holding a rabbit which seems to have been shot and badly beaten several times.
“We used satellite surveillance to aquire our target, but during the tracking with four inconspicious vans, the subject tried to escape, so we had to use drastic measures. Still counts.”
Now, it was the turn of the KGB. The four agents disappear into the forest, and return after only an hour holding a bear between two of the agents. The bear is badly bruised, has a limp and keeps his gaze to the ground. Absently, he mumbles “I am a rabbit. My parents were both rabbits.”
These days, MI5 would send in thousands of agents to watch all the rabbits but would not actually catch one until it’s mouth was wide open to take the first bite of the farmers carrot. Then they would keep it secret from all the other rabbits so none of them got upset.
And Russia would totally destroy the woods with bombs and rockets. Every living thing in there would be dead – but no more rabbit problem.
I keep smiling to myself when I only read about the ‘rising far-right terrorism threat’ on the BBC then seeing stories on my phone about about things like bollards erected in all over the country in Town centres to combat terrorist attacks. We all know who by but nobody ever says it.
I know I’ve said it a thousand times, but the BBC are the most outrageous, shameless hypocrites.
Apparently Mr Biden has decreed something or other about the covids, and will save the world – as will Nodrog Brown apparently, (main ‘story’). President Trump got tired of being briefed by various departments just before his first Presidency! (sneer story).
The former is clearly an autocue to boost the old fella out of the 30% ratings, and the second fact could well be correct because after enduring eight years of Barry’s empty nothings, why the heck should he be in the slightest bit interested?
Don’t see much coverage of why opinion polls are killing both the false president and his cackling half wit VP . One rumour was that the VP will be stood down when a space comes on the Supreme Court and some one ‘new’ comes in ( Hilary ) or Mrs Obama ….
The false president will be 82 next time round but I guess if the incontinence pads keep going no one will worry … he ll get 105% of the vote next time …
The “Hannity” host noted that Biden has not been challenged on his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic in the time since he took office.
One year ago, then-candidate Joe Biden declared that, in light of the statistic of 220,000 Americans having died from coronavirus as of October 2020, that “anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States.”
“Based on Joe’s statement, he should not remain the president of the United States – 350,000 dead Americans on his watch,” Hannity said.
Hannity also highlighted on how Biden’s previous racially-charged criticisms of Trump have come back to haunt him. Biden has taken the exact action he claimed made Trump a racist and xenophobe when his predecessor restricted travel from certain African and Asian countries.
After the “omicron” variant of the coronavirus was discovered in Botswana and South Africa, Biden enacted a travel ban, effective Monday, for a handful of countries in the region.
“He called Trump’s initial travel ban … hysteria, xenophobia, fearmongering,” Hannity said, noting Biden’s past accusation that the Trump-era ban was intended to “make it harder for black and brown people to emigrate to the United States.”
“Well, guess who just implemented a brand-new African ban? Joe Biden,” Hannity said. “Is he playing the race card for political gain, or is he a hysterical xenophobic fearmongering racist disgrace of a human being? It’s either one of the other, Joe.”
The Conservatives lead Labour on climate change by 3 points. This is a major political advantage, given climate is consistently a top 3 concern for the UK public. It vindicates @BorisJohnson’s decision to make net zero delivery & COP26 key priorities of his government. https://t.co/GLBt6cIhHL
This morning all across our media it’s a case of Dr Strangelove-for-Big-Pharma and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Jab…
‘Good point: patient gets his Covid booster jab‘ – says the freebie at point of access, financed by corporate and governmental advertising income, giveaway Metro, rather unsubtly.
Not that the press one pays for appears to be a particularly free press.
‘Thumbs up. Woman has her booster yesterday‘ (Daily Mirror)
The two tag lines “good point” and “thumbs up” which some Ad Exec Talent or other obviously ran up the flag pole (quicker than the Royal arms came down in Barbados on Chinese orders) strike one a little near the knuckle – conspiractorially wise – but for sanity sake one still clings desperately to the cock up theory of history.
‘Rush Jab‘ was the Mirror’s main headline.
‘Boosters for every adult in UK to fight Omicron‘ – with palpable relief after days of pre-loading (as the kids who used once to go out on the booze would put it) says the coronaphobic‘i’ newspaper.
‘Race to return to 500,000 UK jabs a day as Omicron concern grows‘ – claims the Guardian. Grows? Really? It started as a massive media health disaster panic – so one is frankly curious as to how it grows from there?
‘Scramble to get jabs in arms‘ – the Times is concise.
“Rush” “Scramble”
Hurry, hurry, hurry, as the fairground huckster would shout…
Getcha some – as our American cousins would offer…
Meanwhile elsewhere on our newspaper frontpages – Tescos scramble to sell us: ‘More Christmas offers. Every Little Helps‘ (Daily Mirror & Daily Star frontpages); ITV scramble to sell us (the broadcaster doesn’t pay directly for an advertising slot… and yet they are apparently gifted: ‘We’re back. Celeb finally returns tonight!‘ (frontpage of The Sun); Mobile network Three scramble to sell us: ‘Get six months half price‘ (frontpage of Metro); and there’ll be no scrambling please, for the elite clientel at: ‘Clinical La Prairie Holistic Health Switzerland‘ (frontpage FT)
Just as Basil Fawlty, tying himself in knots so as not to mention The War, forgetfully announced to the Germans “hors d’oeuvres… will be obeyed at all times” so too New World Orders will be obeyed at all times and although Climate Change is necessarily somewhat on the back burner – due to the weather: ‘Out in the cold. Hundreds of thousands lose power‘ (Mirror) nevertheless this one is kept simmering: ‘Britain’s bad diet. Can we ever fix the way we eat?‘ (Guardian); ‘Independent pig farmers forced to rethink model‘ (FT)
And this one hasn’t gone cold: ‘Illingworth backs calls for assisted dying‘ (Daily Telegraph) our media in particular the BBC are always keen to breath new life into the Euthanasia story.
In Court News: ‘Monarchy. “What Royal relationship?” Little sentiment in Barbados as Queen is removed‘ – the ‘i’ newspaper showing its true colours there as it apparently can’t haul down the Union flag fast enough.
Sorry, I didn’t mean that type of Court News – most newspaper title frontpages this morning are full of: ‘Maxwell on trial. Court told socialite was abuser Epstein ‘s “partner in crime”‘ (Express)
Other non-frontpage news trials are also available: ‘Jussie Smollett: Ex-Empire star staged racist and homophobic attack after TV studio failed to take hate mail seriously, trial hears‘ (Evening Standard) a somewhat mitigating excuse being ventured even here for the blatant race-baiting liar.
When they have to cover it the Guardian plump for directly supporting the defence: ‘Jussie Smollett was ‘real victim’ of racist attack, lawyer says as trial begins‘
Thought for the day…
Of all the elite corporate and political figures potentially caught up in the Epstein sex scandal, isn’t it funny how we hear just two names. Principally (pun intended) Prince Andrew – which helps to take down the Monarchy (Barbados would approve) and how come our Emily Maitlis just couldn’t seem to get herself an interview with Bill Clinton?
Sometimes meeshal has that ‘it’s all too much ‘ in her voice – panicking today over a woman from the West Country who can’t get her 87 year old house bound husband a booster jab at Home .
Boy did meeshal lay into the blue labour minister . She – on the other hand said – why not get the GP / pharmacist to do it .
Oh dear – meeshal was stuffed . She couldn’t criticise those BBC Gods – GPs busily coining it in and hiding behind their Google searches .
Then she switched to face masks (‘ how are you going to enforce wearing ) implying they will be ignored ( all too much again ) …
Poor meeshal sounded frantic about the coming End . Of. The . World …..compare and contrast the rather more grown up – GBNews ….

Unscientifically, I copied/pasted the temperatures for 1853, 1921 and, 100 years later, 2021 (up to October). alongside one another on a spreadsheet. I discounted the figures for 1853 and 1921 for the last two months to make the comparison with, 2021, ‘like for like’.
The average temperatures for each year (minus the two months)
for Oxford in 1853 – 14.14 C
for Oxford in 1921 – 16.99 C
for Oxford in 2021 – 15.9 C
for Oxford in 1976 – 16.26 (cooler than 1921!)
Overall, skimming down the max temperatures numbers, I have to say, there’s no significant variables springing out at me. Indeed, just for fun, I looked at 1976 which was a year most everyone here will remember, and I tagged the average T on.
If I had the time, I’d love to examine the BBC’s claims almost every month that, “these are the highest temperatures on record”

1970 …. The Telford child sexual exploitation scandal is an ongoing scandal in the United Kingdom. Originally, a group of men were convicted of grooming local children for sex between 2007 and 2009 in Telford in the English county of Shropshire.[1][2][3] While media reports had suggested 100 or more girls had been affected[4] and around 200 perpetrators were suspected,[5] the Sunday Mirror reported in March 2018 that up to 1,000 girls may have been abused, with some even murdered, in incidents dating back to the 1970s.[6]

In April, the Fiji Times noted that two of the country’s highest-ranking officers, including the Acting Land Force Commander, had obtained masters in military science degrees from a Chinese military institution.

I’m guessing – on a busy news day – the conviction of four ‘boys ‘ aged 14 – 18 on the murder of a 15 year old boy in Birmingham ? Won’t make much news …
Particularly since the killers are all coloured along with the victim .
From a brief look at this savagery he was both shot and stabbed in a planned execution . But strangely the trial didn’t find a clear motive for the murder .
Does it strike you that the number of these killing with both victim and killer being teenagers – is going up ?
My days of studying criminology are long gone and I’m not minded to search for the data – but the demography of murder victims seems a lot lot younger – including the 12 year old in Liverpool who was allegedly killed by at least one ( charged ) 14 year old .
Something must be done ….. ( it won’t be )

I have declared all my expenses and registered all gifts on the BBC expenses website. I, Jeremy Vine on this 30 minutes of show, with production time of 2 hours at an hourly rate of £1153 cost you the public £2884*. This does not include the studio and team wages. All monies I make from my ‘BBC Brand’ go back into the BBC. I follow the BBC guidelines – not giving my opinion on subjects that I know little about on twitter, facebook. If I do give an opinion then they are 100% in agreement with the BBC and have been approved by the BBC at time of publishing. Please note that reading out this EU compliant notice just cost you, the public enforced to pay my wages under threat of prison, a total of £76*.”
* hourly rate is rough calculation, without knowing Jeremy Vines full wage it will be hard to workout. Figures are for illustrative purposes only. They may go up or down depending gender or TV Tax, but are NOT linked to the talent market.

US and UK Media scare stories are all linked and ‘managed’, some more hysterical than others BBC is up top of the food chain, LBC somewhere and GB News damn skeptical, as it should be. None of this is going to end well.
The Vaccines do nothing much, the PCR test are designed to ‘add’ to the pandemic and role out false ‘booster’ cures every six months, for life, there really is a plan— to make it drugs for life, – as long as you live. They (BIG PHARMA) cannot be prosecuted either, sued or made liable. That was the deal to invent ‘a cure’ sold across western nations.
Its sealed with a kiss by the UN. Wrapped up with Climate Change and ‘Global Reset’ promises of a new red dawn.
I do wonder what goes into the vaccines and whatever it is, it will have serious side affects sooner or later.
(Excerpt from 36 page report)
“On 20 September 2021, a press conference was held at the Institute of Pathology in Reutlingen, Germany in order to present in Part One, “Cause of Death under Covid-19 Vaccination”, the findings of pathologists Arne Burkhardt and Walter Lang who had investigated ten deaths of persons over 50 who had died in temporal context of being administered so-called COVID-19 vaccines, including Comirnaty from Pfizer. In Part Two, “Undeclared Components of Covid-19 Vaccines”, non-biological items found in the vials of these products were presented and discussed by various participants, including physicians across and outside of Germany. (101)
What worries me is the ‘unidentified parts identified by the Doctors (with alarming photographs of totally ‘alien’ parts to the vaccine not known to medicine). See images in PDF pages 38-44. Unidentified objects.

There is Forsensic photographs (Pages 38-44) to this but you have to plough through the report pages with proper links intact. The conclusion is pretty damning. I have no doubt it is a well co-ordinated fraud going on.

Are there any Tories?
I have been looking at some of the images that the left-leaning post all the time on Facebook, lots of “F**k the Tories” and the like, so much love, not.
In reality the Tories have just become the polite variant of the Labour Party.
Back in the late 1960s the local parliamentary candidates were invited in to address our sixth form. I was struck the by the passion and positivity of the young Conservative candidate, something I have never heard since.
The nearest has been Candace Owens, but then she isn’t British or a politician and the BBC would probably class her as an ‘Oreo’.

With Barbados in the news, and all the talk of slavery, colonialism, racism et al, got me thinking of our coal mining industry back in the day. Miners went underground working at a height of 3′ (yes three foot) at the coalface for 8+ hours, where health and safety were just words in a dictionary, and the threat of carbon dioxide – hence the canaries, roof cave-ins and flooding were an everyday occurrence and hazard, all for a few shillings a week, while the slave-master – sorry, mine owner lived in a big house on the hill.
Those that keep shoving ‘white privilege’ front and centre in the media need to revisit recent history books, and I for one would love to know how many non-white miners there were in the coalfields of the UK in the period 1875 to 1945, at which point the coal industry was taken into national ownership.

I think some coal faces were shallower than that, it depended on the thickness of the coal seam.
Some idiot would probably have a fit if they had seen the men come out from the pit head, all men and all in black face, sexist and racist.

My Great Uncle John wasn’t allowed to join up for the First World War, as he was too short! Presumably he was less than 5’3″ in his socks, but he was a miner, and therefore a damn sight better equipped than a bloke a foot taller in that job, but there you are, the powers that be decreed that such people couldn’t enrol to fight for King and Country!
So, when they got a little short of numbers in France, a call went out to relax this height restriction, and get more numbers in the ranks! They were called Bantam Regiments, for obvious reasons, and while I’m so proud to know that another member of the family answered the call, I was saddened to learn that he fell in 1916, and never returned. Apparently, he was supposed to be going to Africa, then the regiment suddenly turned back to northern France and he died there.

I expect they all moved over to MI5. I remember reading a few years ago that a landmark had been reached where we were having to spy on more people INSIDE our country than outside.
Speaking of MI5, I recently started watching ‘The Professionals’ again. What a classic show : a bit dated now of course, but it’s really stood up to the test of time. Pure entertainment, no agenda. Same as ‘The Sweeney’.
I checked for online reviews and the general concensus was ‘Despite what you have read on the internet, it’s much better than you would expect’ so the woke cancel-culture has obviously had a go at it.

The MI5, the CIA and the KGB are having a competition on neutral ground, on the edge of a big German forest.
They decided that each of their parties should catch a rabbit, using their espionage skills. The party that manages to catch the rabbit the quickest, wins.
First, the MI5 leaves for the forest. When they emerge eight hours later, they carry a live rabbit in a cage.
“We posted lookouts around the forest, and after spotting the rabbit, we shadowed it until it showed us his hideout, we then just placed the cage over the entrance and waited for the rabbit to fall in our trap. Neat and simple.”
Now, it’s the turn of the CIA. They leave into the forest and emerge four hours later, holding a rabbit which seems to have been shot and badly beaten several times.
“We used satellite surveillance to aquire our target, but during the tracking with four inconspicious vans, the subject tried to escape, so we had to use drastic measures. Still counts.”
Now, it was the turn of the KGB. The four agents disappear into the forest, and return after only an hour holding a bear between two of the agents. The bear is badly bruised, has a limp and keeps his gaze to the ground. Absently, he mumbles “I am a rabbit. My parents were both rabbits.”

Definitely a pre-enrichment era joke.
These days, MI5 would send in thousands of agents to watch all the rabbits but would not actually catch one until it’s mouth was wide open to take the first bite of the farmers carrot. Then they would keep it secret from all the other rabbits so none of them got upset.
And Russia would totally destroy the woods with bombs and rockets. Every living thing in there would be dead – but no more rabbit problem.

Apparently Mr Biden has decreed something or other about the covids, and will save the world – as will Nodrog Brown apparently, (main ‘story’). President Trump got tired of being briefed by various departments just before his first Presidency! (sneer story).
The former is clearly an autocue to boost the old fella out of the 30% ratings, and the second fact could well be correct because after enduring eight years of Barry’s empty nothings, why the heck should he be in the slightest bit interested?

Hannity: According to Biden’s past COVID statements, he should demand his own resignation
https://www.foxnews.com/media/hannity-bidens-own-covid-statements-should-demand-resignation#
The “Hannity” host noted that Biden has not been challenged on his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic in the time since he took office.
One year ago, then-candidate Joe Biden declared that, in light of the statistic of 220,000 Americans having died from coronavirus as of October 2020, that “anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States.”
“Based on Joe’s statement, he should not remain the president of the United States – 350,000 dead Americans on his watch,” Hannity said.
Hannity also highlighted on how Biden’s previous racially-charged criticisms of Trump have come back to haunt him. Biden has taken the exact action he claimed made Trump a racist and xenophobe when his predecessor restricted travel from certain African and Asian countries.
After the “omicron” variant of the coronavirus was discovered in Botswana and South Africa, Biden enacted a travel ban, effective Monday, for a handful of countries in the region.
“He called Trump’s initial travel ban … hysteria, xenophobia, fearmongering,” Hannity said, noting Biden’s past accusation that the Trump-era ban was intended to “make it harder for black and brown people to emigrate to the United States.”
“Well, guess who just implemented a brand-new African ban? Joe Biden,” Hannity said. “Is he playing the race card for political gain, or is he a hysterical xenophobic fearmongering racist disgrace of a human being? It’s either one of the other, Joe.”

This morning all across our media it’s a case of Dr Strangelove-for-Big-Pharma and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Jab…
‘Good point: patient gets his Covid booster jab‘ – says the freebie at point of access, financed by corporate and governmental advertising income, giveaway Metro, rather unsubtly.
Not that the press one pays for appears to be a particularly free press.
‘Thumbs up. Woman has her booster yesterday‘ (Daily Mirror)
The two tag lines “good point” and “thumbs up” which some Ad Exec Talent or other obviously ran up the flag pole (quicker than the Royal arms came down in Barbados on Chinese orders) strike one a little near the knuckle – conspiractorially wise – but for sanity sake one still clings desperately to the cock up theory of history.
‘Rush Jab‘ was the Mirror’s main headline.
‘Boosters for every adult in UK to fight Omicron‘ – with palpable relief after days of pre-loading (as the kids who used once to go out on the booze would put it) says the coronaphobic ‘i’ newspaper.
‘Race to return to 500,000 UK jabs a day as Omicron concern grows‘ – claims the Guardian. Grows? Really? It started as a massive media health disaster panic – so one is frankly curious as to how it grows from there?
‘Scramble to get jabs in arms‘ – the Times is concise.
“Rush” “Scramble”
Hurry, hurry, hurry, as the fairground huckster would shout…
Getcha some – as our American cousins would offer…
Meanwhile elsewhere on our newspaper frontpages – Tescos scramble to sell us: ‘More Christmas offers. Every Little Helps‘ (Daily Mirror & Daily Star frontpages); ITV scramble to sell us (the broadcaster doesn’t pay directly for an advertising slot… and yet they are apparently gifted: ‘We’re back. Celeb finally returns tonight!‘ (frontpage of The Sun); Mobile network Three scramble to sell us: ‘Get six months half price‘ (frontpage of Metro); and there’ll be no scrambling please, for the elite clientel at: ‘Clinical La Prairie Holistic Health Switzerland‘ (frontpage FT)
Just as Basil Fawlty, tying himself in knots so as not to mention The War, forgetfully announced to the Germans “hors d’oeuvres… will be obeyed at all times” so too New World Orders will be obeyed at all times and although Climate Change is necessarily somewhat on the back burner – due to the weather: ‘Out in the cold. Hundreds of thousands lose power‘ (Mirror) nevertheless this one is kept simmering: ‘Britain’s bad diet. Can we ever fix the way we eat?‘ (Guardian); ‘Independent pig farmers forced to rethink model‘ (FT)
And this one hasn’t gone cold: ‘Illingworth backs calls for assisted dying‘ (Daily Telegraph) our media in particular the BBC are always keen to breath new life into the Euthanasia story.
In Court News: ‘Monarchy. “What Royal relationship?” Little sentiment in Barbados as Queen is removed‘ – the ‘i’ newspaper showing its true colours there as it apparently can’t haul down the Union flag fast enough.
Sorry, I didn’t mean that type of Court News – most newspaper title frontpages this morning are full of: ‘Maxwell on trial. Court told socialite was abuser Epstein ‘s “partner in crime”‘ (Express)
Other non-frontpage news trials are also available: ‘Jussie Smollett: Ex-Empire star staged racist and homophobic attack after TV studio failed to take hate mail seriously, trial hears‘ (Evening Standard) a somewhat mitigating excuse being ventured even here for the blatant race-baiting liar.
When they have to cover it the Guardian plump for directly supporting the defence: ‘Jussie Smollett was ‘real victim’ of racist attack, lawyer says as trial begins‘
Thought for the day…
Of all the elite corporate and political figures potentially caught up in the Epstein sex scandal, isn’t it funny how we hear just two names. Principally (pun intended) Prince Andrew – which helps to take down the Monarchy (Barbados would approve) and how come our Emily Maitlis just couldn’t seem to get herself an interview with Bill Clinton?

BBC – no mention of China ….
Barbados becomes a republic and parts ways with the Queen
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-59470843
…
On Monday in the city of Bridgetown, Prince Charles will be forced to witness the spectacle of Barbados officially becoming a republic as it removes the Queen as its head of state…
The decision appears to have been influenced to some degree by China’s activities. Barbados has signed up to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), while an office to facilitate investment in Barbados has opened in Beijing. Prime Minister Mia Mottley calls President Xi ‘very engaging’. Barbados was among the first English-speaking Caribbean countries to establish ties with China and Beijing is now making millions of dollars’ worth of donations to the country’s armed forces.

Decided to visit the Met Offices’ records. Recorded temperatures go back to the earliest date of 1853, recorded in Oxford. The Oxford list:
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/pub/data/weather/uk/climate/stationdata/oxforddata.txt
Unscientifically, I copied/pasted the temperatures for 1853, 1921 and, 100 years later, 2021 (up to October). alongside one another on a spreadsheet. I discounted the figures for 1853 and 1921 for the last two months to make the comparison with, 2021, ‘like for like’.
The average temperatures for each year (minus the two months)
for Oxford in 1853 – 14.14 C
for Oxford in 1921 – 16.99 C
for Oxford in 2021 – 15.9 C
for Oxford in 1976 – 16.26 (cooler than 1921!)
Overall, skimming down the max temperatures numbers, I have to say, there’s no significant variables springing out at me. Indeed, just for fun, I looked at 1976 which was a year most everyone here will remember, and I tagged the average T on.
If I had the time, I’d love to examine the BBC’s claims almost every month that, “these are the highest temperatures on record”
