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”
G…looking at temperature graphs over millions of years and the rise in temperature now is exactly in line with the norm….the infamous ‘hockey stick’, misleading as it is, is of course a tiny selection of that timeline, chosen deliberately to make any temperature rise seem extreme and unusual.
I’d have said that Capita would be a shoo-in for this pathetic little sinecure!
They have ‘form’ with threatening pensioners, so probably have the kit ready for other nasty little jobs we have to pay for, instead of heating our homes!
On Today we heard from a genuine expert that the Delta variant wasn’t causing any significant harm…we also heard that Omicron wasn’t causing any notable rise in cases.
So…er…don’t panic [Maybe, just maybe, covid is becoming less dangerous and more flu like]….oh….tooooo late.
BBC reporter in next piece reporting on the introduction of new measures to control this lethal new variant that ‘It is clear that it is on the rise!’
It is remarkable how BBC presenters and reporters so often just ignore information and facts that the experts tell them and just carry on with their own chosen narrative…on any subject or issue not just the virus.
You can frequently hear one thing said by the experts and the BBC telling you something different and contrary to that all day.
Either the BBC ‘fusion’ system where they collate, interpret and disperse information is not working or the BBC just doesn’t care and massages the information to present whatever message they want you to get.
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 ?.
Yeah JohnC….though the government wants you to get your shots the local centre has closed for the week….hmmm…despite the national panic about the new ‘deadly’ variant.
Did I seriously hear the BBC give Angela Rayner time to bemoan the fact that she and her family had to have security?
This the woman who only recently screeched that the Tories were ‘scum’ amongst many other toxic insults?
The BBC of course likes to retread the sinners [Michael Vaughan, though innocent until proven guilty…maybe not]….sinners like Nazi Shah who wanted to transport all the Jews out of their country…or indeed Azeem Rafiq who had a similar contempt for Jews but it’s OK…he said it years ago…and doesn’t think it now…lol.

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.

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.

Hats off to all of you that still watch and listen to the BBBC and MSM ,
Has the daily Invasion stopped ?
Is the scare now the new ‘ Moronic ‘ virus ?
Looks like a deliberate move by Peppa Pig Boris to move the agenda on from his useless response to the Daily Invaders bringing in Viruses , TB and who knows what else ……

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.
Safety and security
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 suicide bomber who killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester last year had been rescued from the Libyan civil war by the Royal Navy. Salman Abedi detonated a home-made bomb in the foyer of the Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017 as concert-goers, many of them children, were leaving the venue.31 Jul 2018
I thought they were scraping the barrel just by having him as an MP but it just shows how low the British public have sunk that this race baiting bag of shite, along with others, have been voted in.

A rain of animals is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which flightless animals fall from the sky. Such occurrences have been reported in many countries throughout history. One hypothesis is that tornadic waterspouts sometimes pick up creatures such as fish or frogs, and carry them for up to several kilometers. Wikipedia
Thing I would like to know – should the BBC ever think to ask a virologist on air in my hearing on R4 – is this:
With the virus spread around the globe, is it possible in different locations for the virus to mutate (randomly, as they do) to the same latest mutation in different countries and on different continents?
So, Kier Starmer sent Angela Rayner out to lecture us about our health… and to pick up a packet of fags… while he covertly reshuffled his cabinet. It probably needed doing but…
What level of craven stupidity does it take to give an absolute muppet like David Lammy a top level job? For the love of God!
Reshuffling the Labour cabinet is going to be about as effective as moving the deckchairs about on the Titanic. They need lifeboats.
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,

No such speculation , from Bowen, naturally.

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. The International Association of Genocide Scholars affirms that the number of Armenian deaths was over one million. This film provides a historical overview of the Armenian Genocide and looks at its denial by Turkey that continues to this day.

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.

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 .

Fed,
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.

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.

A rain of animals is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which flightless animals fall from the sky. Such occurrences have been reported in many countries throughout history. One hypothesis is that tornadic waterspouts sometimes pick up creatures such as fish or frogs, and carry them for up to several kilometers. Wikipedia

Covid: Omicron variant in Netherlands earlier than thought

Thing I would like to know – should the BBC ever think to ask a virologist on air in my hearing on R4 – is this:
With the virus spread around the globe, is it possible in different locations for the virus to mutate (randomly, as they do) to the same latest mutation in different countries and on different continents?

So, Kier Starmer sent Angela Rayner out to lecture us about our health… and to pick up a packet of fags… while he covertly reshuffled his cabinet. It probably needed doing but…
What level of craven stupidity does it take to give an absolute muppet like David Lammy a top level job? For the love of God!
Reshuffling the Labour cabinet is going to be about as effective as moving the deckchairs about on the Titanic. They need lifeboats.
They’re sunk, but no one will tell them…

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.’

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.
