Not BBC but an unexpected observation on what our society has become:
I want to give blood but nobody seems to know where I can do it. So I registered on the NHS donation website and I have to make an appointment.
The earliest one available is March next year !!!.
In Thailand I just walk into a hospital and they take it. Plus give me 2-weeks of iron tablets with my drinks + snack afterwards.
Are they really so awash with blood ? – or have the NHS management completely lost the focus of why they exist ?.

Whatever the topic, the fact that an ‘impartial’ BBC news reporter needs security because of what she reported should be ringing alarm bells at OFCOM.
The fact that she needs it because of the hard-Left is ironic in the extreme. No wonder the BBC didn’t report it.
‘Gaby Hinsliff’ of The Guardian started her report with ‘ idea of journalists being physically intimidated at work, a thuggish phenomenon repeatedly observed at Donald Trump’s rallies.’ and only mentioned it was from Left wing fanatics later on.
TOADY Watch #2 – when will the letter of the alphabet be mentioned?
Richard Moore head of MI6 doesn’t have an Aston Martin (unlike James Bond although in the books, if I recall correctly, Bond was a Bentley man) but he does write in green ink like the original head of MI6, ‘C’ a.k.a. Sir Mansfield George Smith-Cumming. The BBC are very exercised about the Omicron mutation and Nick could and probably should have asked ‘R’ (for Richard – ‘M’ has been taken) what MI6 have done to find out the true source and nature of this virus.
Which leaves me wondering. That ‘now it’s all important, tomorrow it’s not and is forgotten: ‘R’ figure; when are we going to start hearing about it again on the BBC? It has not been mentioned in my hearing (I’m less of a faithful R4 listener these days) for months and months on BBC R4.
In 500 BC, Rome was a minor city-state on the Italian peninsula. By 200 BC, the Roman Republic had conquered Italy, and over the following two centuries it conquered Greece and Spain, the North African coast, much of the Middle East, modern-day France, and even the remote island of Britain.19 Aug 2014
The Ottomans ended the Byzantine Empire with the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by Mehmed the Conqueror. Under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire marked the peak of its power and prosperity as well as the highest development of its government, social, and economic systems.

THE BBC going big on Barbados becoming a Republic. The BBC really do hate the UK and its past history except when it comes to them, their centenary (next year) and their unique funding model, the radio licence previously and then the television licence.
The clip from chosen by the BBC from Prince Charles speech at the ‘R’ day celebrations in Bridgetown? One that just had to make reference to slavery. And one that blamed Britain for it, despite the fact that slavery has been commonplace around the world for many millennia. Unfortunately the BBC forgot to add that the UK pioneered the ending of slavery until foreign people traffickers resurrected the concept in the late 20th and to date 21st century. Shameful BBC. Truly shameful.

Prince Charles news: Why Prince Charles would choose NOT to become Defender of the Faith
PRINCE CHARLES will become the next King of England and is currently the oldest King in Waiting in history at 71, having spent nearly his entire life as first-in-line. When he does succeed Queen Elizabeth II, however, he said he would drop one of the monarchy’s core mottos.

The aim is to really cut down on BBC output – I monitor the enemy – the today programme – but not much else . GB news is on ‘default ‘ if only to support an outside news source – but even then I think it is too careful of OFCOM …
But the most important thing is to not pay for it .
Agreed wholeheartedly. Monitoring is necessary. I want to be able to detect when our, “Worlds Most Trusted” make slight shifts. I predict that as the heat rises in favour of cutting it down to size, their emphasis will shift: more international news whilst reducing the ‘tittle tattle’, less foreigners in the forefront and a reduction in black faces/voices in an attempt to subtly dissuade those who would otherwise seek its demise. They are past masters of the Houdini tricks.

Crime
Most visits are trouble-free, but there have been incidents of violent crime including armed robbery, sexual assaults and gang-related shootings.
Since 2019 there has been an increase in the murder rate, primarily gang related and involving guns. Some incidents have taken place in populated and public areas. You should remain vigilant at all times and in all locations.
The local police have advised residents and visitors against wearing visible gold jewellery due to a spate of robberies particularly in Bridgetown and other popular tourist areas.
"The deaths of 27 people should have acted as a sobering moment… but instead both [UK and French] governments have engaged in a petty, public spat," new shadow foreign secretary David Lammy says

The crew of the British slave ship Zong threw 132 enslaved African people from its human cargo into the sea to drown. It was one of the most appalling mass killings of the era.
If they tell the whole story of that it would be a miracle! It will be the usual biased clap trap that the BBC wants people to hear and one thing we can more or less guarantee is that it won’t be the whole story.
To have thrown an entire shipment of very valuable slaves overboard must have been a result of some extreme necessity as this was to them valuable cargo and they would want to get their monetary reward for getting it in one piece to port.
The attrition rate of slave is pretty much in line with that for sailing ship crew at the time, it wasn’t the safest of professions and they only got paid if the cargo made it alive to dry land.
The film Belle was all about this and apart from the event actually taking place, it was a complete crock of lies.
I notice that none of them go near the fact that Muslims have thrown Christians out the boats when coming to us for free stuff. And THAT is without any benefit of the ‘different times’ excuse.
During World War I, the Ottoman Turks carried out one of the largest genocides in the world’s history.

Hastings RNLI lifeboat crew ‘blocked from going out to sea’ by people angry at them rescuing refugees | Hastings and St. Leonards Observer https://t.co/f6Uzzi3g2y
The right-wing Daily Telegraph newspaper has reported that a Muslim hate monitoring project is to lose its funding from the government.
Controversial reporter Andrew Gilligan, who has angered many Muslims by his reporting on Muslim issues, wrote that Tell Mama’s funding is not being renewed after police and civil servants raised concerns about its methods following the Woolwich murder.
Tell Mama, which receives £214,000 a year from the government, stated that there had been a “sustained wave of attacks and intimidation” against Muslims in Britain after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby, recorded at 212 by last weekend. https://5pillarsuk.com/2013/06/10/tell-mama-to-lose-government-funding/
That story is from Nov 25
so why is it being hyped now ?
Twitter forced that story at me
“fisherman .. shouting abuse ..stopped the Hastings RNLI boat leaving”
..and then when I saw it was connected to the James O’Brien show, I thought how much will be spin and hyperbole
The give away was that there wasn’t any quote of any nasty abuse.
A group of people on Hastings beach reportedly shouted “horrible” abuse
.. according to a caller to James O’Brien’s LBC radio show on Thursday (November 25).
Zoe, from Hastings, told the presenter she witnessed the group blocking the RNLI lifeboat and shouting, “don’t bring any more of those home, we’re full up,
that’s why we stopped our donations,
and that kind of really horrible stuff.”
She added: “It was really upsetting, and you could hear the hatred in their voice
A spokesperson for the RNLI told the Hastings Observer: “We can confirm an incident was reported to the police. The lifeboat was able to launch
On Thursday evening, an estimated 250 people gathered on the Stade in Hastings Old Town to hold a moving vigil for the 27 people who died when their boat capsized.
The actual abusive incident was NOT about refugees the lifeboat decided to launch on the east side of the harbour arm – rather than the west side where it normally launches – and found a fishing boat was already there.
This escalated into a “row”, but he said this had nothing to do with refugees being rescued in the Channel – it was the way the lifeboat crew spoke to the fisherman involved.
He said there was a lorry driver on the beach who “had words about immigrants” to the lifeboat crew,
but nothing was said about refugees by the fisherman.”

As such, it relates to their ability to preserve the national faith, which, since Henry VIII’s rule is Christianity.
However, in the more than 500 years since the title came into being, the UK’s religious landscape has markedly diversified.
The new interfaith identity of the country has led Prince Charles to voice his preference for the streamlined “Defender of Faith” instead.

It’s not often I’m floored by stupid BBC agenda-based scaremongering, but this one really take the biscuit:
‘How can I tell I have Omicron?’
We had 40,000 new cases of COVID yesterday alone and the entire total for ‘Omicron’ is 14. But the BBC act like there’s a good chance you have it.
Then they write a whole article which seems to be pitched at the 5 to 8 year old audience.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59460252
And at the end – we are given the answer to the clickbait question of the main page headline:
‘That means a new cough, a fever and loss of taste or smell are still the main three symptoms to look out for.’

I had a takeaway Madras the other week and I had all of those symptoms afterwards. I must have COVID. I also had some bog-splattering episodes afterwards and breath that could scorch paint, is that the new variant?

Must admit hadnt heard J Bowen for ages .Tuned in briefly to R4…the only bBC output would tune into.
Re Yemen…….a rehearsed drill about Hootsies, Saudis and the like.
I was scratching my head thinking, isnt a root cause the islamic schism? Shia v Sunni,
Only towards the end he mentioned Iran and Saudi,,,
You wonder if in the future a new influx will be headed to Calais
through the porous EU Borders….
No such speculation , from Bowen, naturally.
If only Ms Patel could find a way of keeping him in Yemen.

At least it’s been reported by one paper, but our increasingly anti White race hating state would have branded anyone White the meaningless word ‘Racist’ and refused to treat them, if they had requested a different doctor to operate on them, regardless of the risk a doctor might pose so long as he or she is of a BAME privileged background.

The company currently faces a host of challenges, including slow growth in its user base as competitors like TikTok and Instagram lure away younger demographics, as well as continuing struggles with misinformation and hate speech.
Agrawal is expected largely to pick up where Dorsey left off, continuing to fight for users being lured away by competitors like TikTok and Instagram, said Jill Wilson, the chief marketing officer for Esquire Digital.

If they tell the whole story of that it would be a miracle! It will be the usual biased clap trap that the BBC wants people to hear and one thing we can more or less guarantee is that it won’t be the whole story.
To have thrown an entire shipment of very valuable slaves overboard must have been a result of some extreme necessity as this was to them valuable cargo and they would want to get their monetary reward for getting it in one piece to port.
The attrition rate of slave is pretty much in line with that for sailing ship crew at the time, it wasn’t the safest of professions and they only got paid if the cargo made it alive to dry land.

The film Belle was all about this and apart from the event actually taking place, it was a complete crock of lies.
I notice that none of them go near the fact that Muslims have thrown Christians out the boats when coming to us for free stuff. And THAT is without any benefit of the ‘different times’ excuse.

This omicron is nothing but an excuse to do all the things they want to do but would have started a revolt if they did it.
I suspect they are really worried about a surge to the NHS after Xmas and of course the cost to the economy we can ill afford.
Mind you, what’s another billion or two when they’ve already borrowed hundreds of billions ?.

The RNLI respond to misleading “funding burkinis for Africans” articles

The RNLI respond to misleading “funding burkinis for Africans” articles
https://tellmamauk.org/the-rnli-respond-to-misleading-funding-burkinis-for-africans-articles/
…..
The right-wing Daily Telegraph newspaper has reported that a Muslim hate monitoring project is to lose its funding from the government.
Controversial reporter Andrew Gilligan, who has angered many Muslims by his reporting on Muslim issues, wrote that Tell Mama’s funding is not being renewed after police and civil servants raised concerns about its methods following the Woolwich murder.
Tell Mama, which receives £214,000 a year from the government, stated that there had been a “sustained wave of attacks and intimidation” against Muslims in Britain after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby, recorded at 212 by last weekend.

That story is from Nov 25
so why is it being hyped now ?
Twitter forced that story at me
“fisherman .. shouting abuse ..stopped the Hastings RNLI boat leaving”
..and then when I saw it was connected to the James O’Brien show, I thought how much will be spin and hyperbole
The give away was that there wasn’t any quote of any nasty abuse.
A group of people on Hastings beach reportedly shouted “horrible” abuse
.. according to a caller to James O’Brien’s LBC radio show on Thursday (November 25).
Zoe, from Hastings, told the presenter she witnessed the group blocking the RNLI lifeboat and shouting, “don’t bring any more of those home, we’re full up,
that’s why we stopped our donations,
and that kind of really horrible stuff.”
She added: “It was really upsetting, and you could hear the hatred in their voice
A spokesperson for the RNLI told the Hastings Observer: “We can confirm an incident was reported to the police.
The lifeboat was able to launch
On Thursday evening, an estimated 250 people gathered on the Stade in Hastings Old Town to hold a moving vigil for the 27 people who died when their boat capsized.

The actual abusive incident was NOT about refugees
the lifeboat decided to launch on the east side of the harbour arm – rather than the west side where it normally launches – and found a fishing boat was already there.
This escalated into a “row”, but he said this had nothing to do with refugees being rescued in the Channel – it was the way the lifeboat crew spoke to the fisherman involved.
He said there was a lorry driver on the beach who “had words about immigrants” to the lifeboat crew,
but nothing was said about refugees by the fisherman.”
Apparently the fisherman was in the process of throwing his by-catch back in the sea .. and the RNLI swore at him saying he was in there wasy
And the police were called about that
“the lifeboat agreed that they would speak more candidly to the fishermen…and treat them with a little bit of respect. ”
