Weekend 11 December 2021

2 weeks to Christmas. Very often the values of the BBC are demonstrated by what it chooses – editorially – to ‘big up’ rather than what it doesn’t . Whether it is an obsession with office parties or the minimising of the criminal conviction of a US race hero – the biased values of the BBC show themselves to we who see the truth . At least there are growing numbers of alternative sources of News rather than BBC propaganda .

        Sorry mate but I am surprised that you take my personal medical statements seriously. I, like millions of old men have an enlarged prostate gland which puts pressure on ones bladder with the inevitable results.
        Mind you the last consultant I spoke to following a prostate test told me and I quote “At the moment you do not have prostate cancer but you will get it”
        My answer was -So what? I am an old man. I will live my remaining years free from fear.

          Glad to hear you are free “so far” Lefty. Despite my recent health ‘issue’, have discussed with various mates of similar age, our current lifestyles. We’ve all given up the fat free, all have a good slug for a nightcap, semi skimmed anything is for sissys, butter with everything, oh and we all think that grass, roots and leaves should be left to our 4 footed friends.

          I mean, seriously ? once you get over 70 what have you got to lose ? you’re life is shortened with stress and could keel over while waiting for the Surgery to answer the phone !!

    Prince Philip death joke tweets sparks probe as councillor leaves party

    A Stevenage councillor who asked if there would be a “space free at the Windsor’s beer garden” on the day Prince Philip died has quit the Labour Party after an investigation was launched into her tweets.

    Cllr Lizzy Kelly, who represents the Bedwell ward, was elected to Stevenage Borough Council in 2018 as a Labour representative, but said she no longer felt welcome in the party.

    The second tweet under investigation was a retweet which read: “Thinking of the queen today, it’s never easy when your cousin dies.”

    In response to the investigation, Cllr Kelly said she had cancelled her membership to the Labour Party, and criticised the party for investigating “random joke tweets” about the monarchy amidst alleged “inaction” on transphobia and Islamophobia.

    She wrote online: “Those are indeed my tweets. I was unaware being royalty was a protected characteristic so didn’t realise I was in breach of any rules.

    ‘It’s bringing people to tears’: SECOND UPenn swimmer speaks out against trans Lia Thomas competing for the women’s team and says the crowd was silent when she won most recent meet

    An second anonymous female swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania has spoken out to say she and her teammates are upset by transgender teammate
    Lia Thomas, 22, smashed three US swimming records at an Akron, Ohio contest last weekend
    Thomas also gave an interview to SwimSwam touting the fairness of inclusive but controversial IOC guidelines allowing transgender athletes to compete
    Thomas previously competed for the school’s men’s team for three years before joining the women’s team with her last men’s competition in November 2019

    They have done f-ck all to deserve anything, the Conservatives have gifted them the lead with the help of the jaw dropping bias of the BBC and other news outlets…

    Let’s not kid each other, the Tory’s are in a mess but its being amplified 10 fold by the media.

    And what short memories voters have, Starmer and Labour going against the will of the people over Brexit, there appalling anti semitism, there support for terror supporting organisation, I could go on and on and on.

    Instead of the right wing media criticising Boris they need to fight his corner and give him some breathing space to rectify the problems and they can start by fighting back against the appalling BBC..

If he does not then the only option left to us is to take to the streets.

    Some say that the name of the brewer Greenking is deeply offensive as the colour ‘green’ is nowadays strongly associated with environmentalism and environmentalists, may of whom find the very concept of the patriarchal monachy extemely upsetting.

    It is suggested that Blackqueen is a name more appropriate for the 21st century as it would at last give some recognition to the historically unrepresented women of colour.

    Sassanach brewer, Greenking, proposes to re-name linlithgow pub named for heroic local bitch.

    The biggest threat this country now faces does not come from foreign invaders or resident anarchists, it comes from what used to be our spiritual leaders and those given a status in our society. We now have politicians who side with immigrants against their own population. We have church leaders who tell us our own religious history is evil and wrong. We have teachers who tell our children that they are the spawn of twisted parents.

    It is time to take sides people, they will not give up until they destroy our society to make room for their twisted new world.

    The only defence is going to be forceful resistance. It is the only thing that has worked to protect societies throughout history.

    “You know what George Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984 needs?” political commentator Paul Joseph Watson tweeted. “A politically correct modern day re-write from a feminist perspective. Said no one ever.”

      Not a press review but The Mail delivers 2 pieces that sum up our current circumstances – one has nut nut – the PM – letting it be known that he is not pleased that the BBC MSM is fixated on 2020 blue labour parties .

      And a column by Peter Hitchen describing how free speech is all but dead in Britain – that unapproved comments are denounced – individuals are ‘cancelled ‘.

      I’m sure there are individuals who look at this site and dream of the day it – in its turn – is ‘taken down ‘ and comments / views which are unapproved are silenced .

      I wonder if this is a permanent process or a madness of our time.

      Certainly the method used of changing the environment in order to a single view approved by the Far Left – eg queers and chaps who think they are girls – coloureds as victims is the same and very dangerous .

      I say it is dangerous because we can’t project where it goes and ends ….

        Fed Up , I too wonder how long the site will be allowed to operate for. In my world it is one of the few places where none approved comments can be found. If it is taken down I will regard that not just as a personal blow but more importantly as an indicator of just how far the process of closing down free speech has gone in this country.
        The question that bothers me more and more is how much longer will it be before the people of this country, the silent majority, actually try and do something about the loss of their rights . They remind me of the frog being placed in a pan of water which is being slowly heated. It might feel nice and warm at the moment but in not so long it’s going to get intolerable but it will be too late to do anything about it by then.

    Bashir told Ms Hadaway that he would get the items tested for the killer’s DNA
    He has written to Ms Hadaway to apologise after losing her daughter’s clothes

      Just looking at the BBC headline story today which is desperate in the extreme. The most important topic in the UK today is that Boris took part in a quiz on skype – accompanied by:

      Labour’s Angela Rayner said Mr Johnson was “unfit to lead this country”.
      And later:

      But Labour’s deputy leader Ms Rayner said: “Boris Johnson really believes it’s one rule for him, another for everyone else.

      They even spread the two quotes apart and announced her twice to make it seem like different people. The also put them in paragraphs of their own as a trick to make them look important.

      Then at the end – in an absolutely typical BBC lie by association to make people associate Boris with people dying – we get a totally unrelated bit of scaremongering

      ‘It also said the number of deaths could range from 25,000 to 75,000 between now and April.’

      The famous BBC ‘could’. That’s an increase from 100 a day to 700 a day in 3 months even though the rate is still flat.

      They really do disgust me. It looks like Boris will survive this because everyone outside the scumbag media realises that it is a completely politically motivated story.

      What a shame Cummins isn’t there any more to sort the BBC out.

        The BBC is now out of control because they smell political blood.

        It saddens me that certain parts of the right wing media are also falling for all this hysteria and this continuous innuendo because at the moment that’s all it is.

        Whether Boris did XYZ or not he most not be removed now
        because by doing so the BBC and Labour have won and purely on innuendo alone.

        I’m so angry that the Tories just sit back and take all this crap. They need to grow a pair and fight back..

        One one more thing, I would love to know who the culprit is who continues to feed the BBC and the left wing press with all of these pictures and videos..If I was a Tory head honcho this would really worry me, it’s obviously an insider possibly a disgruntled MP or Minister and Boris hater..!!!!

    I assume they’re running out of decent journos, (They are – Ed), and like the fact that they copy and paste everything lefty-Yank, like Hufpoo and Blatherington Pissed, it saves them the trouble of actually reporting anything worthwhile.

    What kind of lie is that ?.

    First they don’t even know if the vaccines are effective or not.

    And it directly implies having the booster WILL stop you catching it. Again, they have no idea.

    And how come two doses suddenly doesn’t work ?. I thought you had good protection 21 days after having it and the third was needed 6 months later as it’s efficacy drops off.

    The BBC are getting worse. They’ve got away with so much since Trump, it’s gone to their head. Now they think the news is whatever suits them to say it is.

    All out against the PM this morning in the 7 and 8 a.m. News. Well, at least we now know for certain that Allegra Stratton was probably working for the Labour Party. An ill-advised appointment. Did Stratton leak the latest pictures or is there another Labour mole at the heart of Government? It is amazing the vetting was not more thorough before appointments were made but that’s Boris for you.

    If MI5 are not investigating this already, it will be another example of a lackadaisical approach to strategy that is the PM. Or is MI5 part of the the problem? As well as the BBC, Daily Mirror Guardian, Crerar and Keunssberg?

    Might this backfire badly for the BBC?

              I had a look the other day to see if Kuenssberg and Crerar had ever worked together. Apparently they haven’t. They are both from Scotland. [ That may get maxi excited! 😉 ] Part-time went to a posh school. Don’t know where Crerar was educated.

    ‘delayed indefinitely a controversial podcast about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was due to air two weeks ago, after its accompanying television series received nearly 1,000 complaints.

    The BBC was intending to broadcast a podcast series about “Harry, Meghan and the media”, including provocative themes of “sexism, racism and strategic leaks”.

    Compiled from more than 80 hours of interviews with members of the press who wrote about them, the corporation said it set out to examine: “Why did the coverage of Meghan Markle turn so sour, so quickly?”’

    Hmmm….why did it have to wait for 1,000 complaints? Its editorial processes clearly failed allowing, one, stridently anti-Royal Amol Rajan to make the programme, two, having no idea that allowing only one side of the story to be told was in anyway unfair, biased or prejudicial…..and yet still allowing the TV programme to be broadcast when it was blatantly obvious that it was a pro-Meghan hit-job.

    Hopefully Boris will resign, although I think the media will regret it if he does so far from an election. Poll numbers are appalling as her lurches from one lying disaster to another, his entire premiership since getting rid of Cummings has been characterised by far left woke stupidity run by his wife who he has allowed to run the country by proxy.

    If it isn’t her taste in wallpaper, it’s expensive holidays all lied about by Boris.
    When it came to covid she manipulated it to be about her favourite Pangolin killing in China. In Afghanistan it was about her insistance stray dogs and cats were evacuated before British citizens – again lied about by Boris.
    Then we have the parties – lied about by Boris and the support for an MP who was on the take to the extent he tried to sack the standards commissioner who was investigating him.

    The guy is a disaster, he leaves a legacy of virtually nothing positive, his Brexit deal is the same as Mays barring a mess over Northern Ireland, and the covid policy is now leading to civil unrest and massive damage to the economy and UK finances.

    For me he can’t be gone quick enough, although the Tory parties lurch to the far Left means it’s going to be difficult for them to find a centre right replacement to undo the damage.

      I will be glad to see nut nut exit because he is not fit for the job . He cannot do detail so cannot challenge ‘advice ‘.

      He only believes in himself. The trouble is that the tune is well known . The opposition will spend years saying the new PM does not have a ‘democratic mandate ‘ and there must be a General Election .
      Hopefully a new PM – with some conservative beliefs of the Right – will ignore the noise and use the huge majority to do some good .

      However we live in a time where taking the easy way – is the preferred way …..

        Have to echo that G, the same thing has been going on with the Unionist parties here in NI for decades, where their inability to set aside their egos has in the past pitted those with an almost identical political manifesto against each other at election time.

        This has in the recent past lost parliamentary seats where the combined Unionist vote would have defeated the winning Nationalist party comfortably. It continues to happen at a local level and is complete and utter madness often caused, pathetically, by nothing more than political snobbery and personal pride.

    The BBC’s use of dodgy sources and practices in obtaining information continues apace…from Bashir to dodgy gangster types, to extremist Muslims, to the infamous ‘anonymous source’ that the BBC uses so often…using their claims as ‘fact’ which has to be rebutted or you’re guilty.

    The BBC has gone to town on the ‘Party scandal’ and has indeed made a photo of Boris in the office its main story of the day….never mind the war drums beating over Russia/Ukraine….or any other world event…..the BBC seems absolutley unconcerned that its drive to attack and unseat the Prime Minister undermines public confidence in the vaccination process and lockdown which previously the BBC has insisted were essential lifesavers but now lives can be sacrificed it seems if it gets rid of Boris.

    Kuenssberg and Co based everything on their ‘anonymous source’ and we have no idea who they are and what their motivation is.

    An allegation that is being used by the BBC and Labour to try and unseat a Prime Minister should surely be based upon more than a sly word from the enemy within the camp….undoubtedly a pro-EU stay behind remainer.

    Why would the source want to remain anonymous and why would the BBC not want to give their allegations more weight by revealing who it is? Maybe such a revelation would in fact cause a bit of eye-rolling and shouts of the ‘usual suspect’ if indeed it is someone who is known to be anti-Boris/Brexit or Tory…it may be a civil servant…or the cleaner.

    And ‘party’…what ‘Party’? As far as I know there is no proof an actual ‘party’ occured…drinks, song and dance etc…what we have heard sounds less than enthralling….speeches and some awards for work handed out….to staff who all work together in the same building anyway….in their own bubble.

    Th BBC insistently calls it a ‘party’…however occasionally a reporter will say ‘alleged party’ which gives the lie to the BBC legend in the making that it definitely was a party.

    The language matters, the tone matters, the narrative matters…and the BBC’s line has been Boris is guilty….it desperately demands to know if Boris should resign and whips up anger and furore with its misleading and sensationalist reporting ala the Xmas quiz photo making the headline story….despite all present in the photo clearly being at work and thus will be working with Boris constantly.

    As said what we have is the national broadcaster spreading lies and misinformation, stoking anger and provoking hate towards Boris, going so far to drag in the coffins of dead covid victims to use as soapboxes to denounce Boris, and all intended to unseat the Prime Minister…this is the BBC interfering in politics, undermining democracy as it tries to make the news not report it…..Kuenssberg wanting to know…

    ”This weekend it is worth asking if ‘Planet Boris’ might actually, finally implode?”

    The BBC certainly hopes so.

    Any wonder Boris is a bit upset with the BBC…

    BBC: ‘PM Boris Johnson took part in No 10 Christmas quiz last year

    Is there no end to this man’s depravity?

    What next, pass-the-parcel revelations?

    Please don’t tell me he took part in a game of movie title cherades – I might blanche and faint clean away.

    Can you imagine it?

    “Your turn now Boris… come on the boss has to take his turn. No, Carrie can’t do this one for you. Come on think of a film. Three words… you’re doing the whole thing? He’s pointing to all of us gathered here this evening in Downing Street… The Good the Bad and the Ugly? No, too many words. Downfall? Nope that’s one word and still only two words in the original German title. The Night Before… yes you have, it’s rubbish. Office Christmas Party... Jennifer Anniston was in it – whatever happend to her? He’s trying to show what we’re all doing here? What’s that Peter Sellers film where he blacks up as an Indian… The Party! Birdie Num-Nums… Shussh, you’ll upset Rishi and Pritti. Anyway it’s not enough words. It’s got to be three words. He’s showing us word by word now. First word… eye… more than one… Eyes! Second word… fat… tubby… girth… wide? Yes Wide!”

    And we’ll leave it there. You can guest the rest.

    I should apologise. Festive parlor games are an absolute anathema and a clear red line that shalt not be crossed. An obvious resigning issue. So this is where we are in modern politics.

    Yes, we know he broke his own pointless, stupid rules – like they all do and well we know it… and so do we – if we’ve got any sense that is.

    OK, I do get it. This is an example of rank hypocrisy. This is of course the ultimate goal of present day politics – where political principles count for nothing but performance is everything. As the prissy schoolgirl said to the naughty schoolboy in the playground: “Ummm, You said a bad word. You told a big fib. I’m telling on you!

    And we’ll leave that story there as the press corps cue up to throw their first stones. Spirit of Christmas, eh? Boris brought it on himself I guess when he pretended to cancel Christmas. As Sir Walter Scott once observed: “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive

    Other frontpage stories? They are a bit thin on the ground.

    The Sunday Express offers us a token stocking filler: ‘Free chocolate gold coins. Pick up your’s at WH Smith‘ – I’ll tell you what, at the rate inflation is roaring ahead you might want to save those for a very rainy day coming soon.

    There’s something of the Christmas decorations feel to the Observer’s second headline – their first naturally links Boris’s office party to mass murder… with a well placed “Could” suffice to say – but they digress from their main point of interest in their second big story: ‘Labour races to nine-point lead in polls‘ – my first observation of this Observer claim is to wonder who on earth has spare time from work to answer political pollsters at this time of year… what with all the food and gift shopping, Christmas card writing, queuing up at the Post Office to post parcels and ringing round to cancel your Christmas parties – just to be on the safe side in light of the looming Plan C next week?

    Labout poll numbers are inevitably doomed to soon come down again like Christmas decorations.

    If next week Boris goes quietly into his study, pours himself a stiff drink and takes from the top drawer of his desk that Chritsmas cracker water pistol – a momento of last year’s party – then attaches his plastic charity red nose – a fitting symbolic memento mori of his rank failure to tame the BBC, then switches on the Zoom to talk to the nation… then Rishi takes over and Labour’s flash in the pan popularity plunges.

    Alternatively, the nation wakes up and comes to its senses in the New Year.

    NHS ready to jab children as young as five‘ (Sunday Times) – the nation coming to its collective senses any time soon is of course a very brave prediction.

    By the way, I thought journalistc silly season used to be in August.

    They’re still pushing for the jabbing of children. Anyone that raises an eyebrow at the prospect that this untested vaccine is being pumped into the bodies of those that won’t suffer from the virus are referred to as “conspiracy theorists” or “anti vaxxers”. There’s always some safe pejorative insult to fall back on. Jabbing kids looks seriously dodgy to me.

    Children don’t suffer from this virus unless they have other health problems…so why jab them if they’re not at risk from the virus, but could be at risk from the vaccine? It makes no sense.

    Yesterday another very fit young Premiership footballer collapsed with “breathing difficulties”. This isn’t a one off. This is now occurring almost every week.

    No, I don’t know what caused it. I certainly can’t say for definite that it was caused by one of the vaccines he’d recently received.

    However, we can’t just blithely push this onto children when we’re not sure of the long term health consequences.

    If only we had some real journalists…

    This is probably too simplistic but would it be possible for a tv supplier such as Amazon, Sky or whoever to offer a package with all the channels EXCEPT everything bbbc related.
    It must be easy to do as they can control which channels we can currently watch.

    Would that then mean the bbbc could not charge a licence because they are absolutely no part of the package.

    Shock. Horror. Boris joined in an online quiz from Downing Street. Which is where he lives. And works. And incidentally from where the nation is supposed to be run, pandemic or not.

    There is no doubt at all now that we are witnessing one humongous Far Left/BBC/ luvvie/ Guardianista/ Remoaner/ MSM/ Woke witch hunt against Boris and by implication the Tories.

    The dilemma is whether to support someone so obviously useless against the FarLeft, Guardianistas, Wokes, and the BBC.

    I think on balance we have to do so. For the moment. With gritted teeth. Maybe when things are quieter, the men in grey suits (other female/ transgender equivalent terms may be available) should enable a transition to be made to allow Boris to ‘spend more time with his family’. Which in his case would be quite legitimate, if not also illegitimate.

    The bbc, as you would expect, are pushing for all to get the covid booster as soon as possible, and no doubt the next, and the next. This is because the efficacy of the first two doses is wearing off (Just as the credibility is wearing thin) and the booster “Hooray for Pfiezer” restores all of science’s wonders. Let us hypothesize that the advice from the medical experts had been “Actually it’s all horse sh!t; the first two doses were pointless and this one is of sod all use too”. What would the bbc line on getting the booster have been then? Much the same I’d wager. Handy that just as a new variant is discovered/invented, the manufacturer has exactly the solution for it. You’d think that it was all about making money. Hmmmm….

    A different way to look at the Boris party gate/ quiz gate stories and non-stories.
    Forget the political dimension and look at it from a news journalist perspective.

    The stories are breaking due to scoops at the Mirror and ITV.
    Admittedly, no supporters of the government.

    But then, neither is the BBC, all of whose stories on this issue are borrowed. Despite having more journalists than all of the rest of the media put together.

    So either the BBC is being amazingly ‘impartial’ by not going first with the stories they have.
    Or……this shows them up for the overprivileged, overstaffed, underworked load of nobodies they are. All those ‘journalists’ yet they have to rely on the work of others.
    So, what exactly do they do all day?
    Party and take part in online quizzes?
