But on the upside – a somber week of cancelled parties at the BBC and other parts of the Swamp .

bBC finds a problem with advent calendars
Tony’s sorry for missing advent chocolate stunt
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59636955
bBC get a life, there is more to worry about than your cr*P
Appreciated, BBC. I’ve been looking for a new brand of chocolate now that many of them are owned by the American Mondelez outfit – I can now strike Tony’s off the search list. Other Mondelez brands that ethical customers might choose to avoid include Cadburys, Green & Blacks, Toblerone, Frys, Oreo, TUC, Belvita, Peek Freens, Trident and Marabou.
#GoWokeGoBroke
“ethical Dutch brand Tony’s has apologised for deliberately leaving one of its advent calendar windows empty to highlight inequality in the industry.”
Tesco do a great own-brand plain chocolate bar, almost half the price of a branded bar!
While the big stores probably get their stuff from the main operators, and knock it out cheaper, so what?
I guess that Tesco seem to have ridden the wokery rubbish pretty well, Sainsbury lost it with us because they actually wrote to us to say that we needn’t shop there if we didn’t like their weedy attitude, so we don’t!
Waitrose staggered a bit with their stupid John Lewis Christmas advert, but as I like the gals there, I still visit and expect to pay a bit more for the privilege.
Amazon seem to have gone completely woke, so Ebay are the go-to places for branded stuff we can’t buy from the smaller Tesco! It’s easy, and helping small businesses to keep afloat brings a certain feel-good factor to the equation, plus with petrol costs at over 16 pence a mile, it makes economic sense too!
Lidl sells a lot of chocolate, German probably, which seems very good to me. I don’t know how it compares in price.
BBCs 2021 Sports Personality Winner now can’t make it.
Emma Radacaneu has got covid.
They will have no guests left soon.
Shame. Does anyone still watch this self- congratulatory drivel?
2:15pm Radio4 : West Indian drama
like every day for 8 episodes
of this series 2, of their Windrush London drama
I would think that just about everyone in the Country is now wise to the use of ‘with’ when Boris is using it to try and scare people into talking the jabs/boosters.
His advisors should tell him it’s not a good idea to try and con the public.
I saw in the DM an example of using with:
Anne Boleyn had six fingers and she died with six fingers.
Boris is using ‘with’ the same way.
His intention is to fool and mislead the population.
That isn’t how a Prime Minister should behave.
Sky News Australia : Media ‘ate up’ Jussie Smollett’s hate crime ‘hoax’
Stew thank you for posting that -there are few journos / outlets to describe the difference in energy applied to to Jessie allegations against the outcome that it was all a lie .
There is no one to hold either the dumb lefty politicians or untrustworthy lefty media to account – and sadly it’s all but a monopoly of lies ….
Have the BBC drones pronounced on this or is it a ‘look squirrels ‘ thing ?
May I preannounce the name of the next Covid variant.
poxlbbysdrwerrzls –
No doubt the bBC would find a way round it but at least eliminated the abbreviation of the first 3 letters.
The next
‘variant’mutation of Covid was due to be called Zeta. After Catherine Zeta-Jones started consulting lawyers, WHO have changed their minds and settled on poxlbbysdrwerrzls as an alternative to calling it ‘Nigel’.Interesting review of the new stage show “Cabaret” on the BBC website. Absolute pages of raves about the performance of Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley but just a single mention of the third main character, Omari Douglas (an actor “of colour” or whatever the latest description is, and certainly not the person described in the original book, stage show or film!). This is the BBC, so it is fair to say that his performance must have been diabolical else he would have been front and centre.
Well it’s perfectly possible for a black guy to be a great actor
there are plenty of great black musicians.
but he ticks the gay box as well.
He’s probably a cert for Doctor Who, even less people will watch it.
He looks as if he has been basted.
A week ago Guido revealed the Home Office had spent almost £21,000 on luxury Domino’s pizzas for migrants arriving in Dover, despite a local pizza takeaway offering two margaritas for 76% less. According to spending receipts, Home Office officials said that due to the camp facilities they had “no other means of feeding them”.

About us (UK Home Office)
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this endeavour since 1782. As such, the Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the United Kingdom.

I have to say I’m stunned at the level of deliberately misleading information on the BBC around omicron.
‘She says the UK Health Security Agency believes that two doses of a vaccine is not enough to stop us catching the Omicron variant but three doses prevents 75% of infections.’
So three doses isn’t enough to stop us catching it either. What percentage does 2 doses prevent ?. I don’t believe for one second it’s 0%. And as they tell us they have no clue about how effective the vaccine is, how can they even say that ?.
And we are not being told anything about the person who died with it. But looking elsewhere I discover: ‘The death in the U.K. appears to be the first confirmed globally.’. And yet we are being told it ‘could’ cause 75,000 deaths in the UK in the next 3 months.
We have not been subjected to such a slew of propaganda since WW2. If they want me to take them seriously, they have to tell me things I can believe.
I see the BBC wheeling out a parade of usual suspects selectively quoted and then type it up ladling in misdirection and FUD.
It’s extraordinary how many “health campaigner” parasites are able to repurpose themselves when asked to comment by the BBC.
Roll up, roll up
Congressman Paul Gosar on Gab
“This vaccine is not just a ‘one and done’ shot that you take before going back to work. We are seeing a pattern now, clearly, that Fauci, the CDC, FDA, etc. are planning to mandate booster shots every 6 months for the rest of our lives after an endless stream of new variants conveniently pop up. On twitter, this post would likely get removed for medical misinformation – thank God for Gab.”
It is past time that a notionally quantitative in-vitro immunity/antibody test was in place – the fact that it isn’t indicates that public ‘elf and other power hungry players are not interested in genuine good health outcomes.

(It’s a BBC woke propaganda vehicle that I sometimes watch for laughs. It’s supposed to be about a GP practice but it could be about any place or situation because it has no connection with reality.)
1. Two black females being nice.
2. White person drops litter, stalks off, black female remonstrates.
3. White family in mundane scene.
4. Nice black nurse patiently explains health issues to white GP, who accepts this superior knowledge.
5. White family continue with their mundane scene.
6. Black female (lovely person obv.) tells white female how she litter picks because she’s a good citizen.
7. Black man arrives. Black woman tells him the council are going to tow her motorhome away.
8. Nice black man offers to lend black woman the money to get her van repaired.
9. Three pregnant women, one black, one white(ish), one brown.
10. They are part of a walking group organised by the nice brown nurse.
11. Young white expectant girl crassly attempts to chat to black girl, who just walks away very rudely because the white girl is a bit posh (ie normal), but somehow this unpleasantness is the white girl’s fault we are made to feel.
12. White family continue with their mundane scene. This appears to be intended as light relief. These people are not presented in a good light.
13. Black litter picker lady talks to a white GP. She laments that ‘they’ are going to make her homeless by towing her motorhome away (which is parked in the middle of a council car park surrounded by her junk. Clearly the council are just fascists!)
14. Black litter picker lady asks nice black man to help her. He offers to get her van fixed again. This is the lead-in to her impassioned and unrealistically long, fluent speech about what it’s like to be poor. The man apologises for offering to help.
15. Back with the pregnant ladies, the white one drinks an expensive brand of water, which offends a black one for some reason.
16. White family continue with their mundane scene. They are neither nice nor nasty. These scenes are just there to leaven the mix.
17. Back with the pregnant ladies, and the posh white one is rowing with the scrubber black one. The lovely sensible brown nurse tells them to be nice.
18. Thanks to this good advice they sort of make it up.
19. The highly principled black motorhome dweller who’s going to lose her home worries that some of her stuff might not be recyclable (got to get it in somewhere).
20. The posh white pregnant girl says she’s worried about being fat (etc etc). The black pregnant girl who hated her five minutes ago shows that she really has a heart of gold and she consoles her. The impressive brown nurse joins in. The black lady gives forth much wisdom. The white girl is revealed as being rather self-obsessed and inadequate (unlike the impressive blacks and browns).
21. White family continue with their mundane scene. There’s something about a charity that’s being starved of funds.
22. The nice black man wins the lottery. It’s just enough to pay for the repairs to the litter picker’s van.
23. The impressive brown nurse explains something to the white female GP.
24. The nice black man gives the lottery money to the black litter-picking motorhome dweller so she can get her van repaired.
25. White family continue with their mundane scene. It’s an obvious filler to get the episode duration correct.

Oh Fred – much admiration . A long time ago someone at the top of the BBC talked about lifting the quality of daytime BBC TV …. Doesn’t sound like it happened .
Perhaps Nadine Dorries will have a go ?
Nadine , Nadine, …………Nadine !
Many years ago, gulp, actually decades ago during a serious illness, I was subjected to early daytime TV. Crown Court, was it. and early Emmerdale was the the thing back then. I used to go off to sleep during both if they weren’t truly gripping. Aided my recovery no end. 🙂
Yep that was pretty much it! A sort of parable on the evils of being white really.
I see we’ve (well, Boris has) caved in again to the French fishermen.
Not only the mild Omicron virus bothering Boris because now he’s got the Emacron variant which he also cannot control.
Have I got it right, the frenchies have over 1,000 permits for our waters and we have 5 permits for their waters yet they are the ones complaining.
How can Boris be so ineffectual.
He’s giving in to anything the eu (or anybody) wants.
When we voted for brexit I think everybody was ready for WTO trading and not this one sided dogs breakfast of a deal he has cobbled together where we seem to be second best in everything with the eu telling him to jump and he asks “how high”
Manny
How high? Next he will be asking from which cliff top.
*
It might be over 100 and not 1000 French fishing permits.
If anyone knows the numbers feel free to put me right.
France said it took note of the new British licences and that 1,034 or 93% of French licence requests had now been secured.

After having returned from my local WMC having sampled a couple of pints of Wadworths 6X I was feeling pretty mellow. Unusually, I tuned in to R4 1700 and the Poison Dwarf’s slot. I Noted that R4 is acting as an Agent (or mouthpiece) for various commercial interests: ‘Lateral flow tests’ – there’s more than enough to go round; Booster jabs – If you have been unsuccessful today, don’t give up, there’s more than enough to go round. In Utopia, there’s more than enough for everybody. With this collective effort, my suspicions deepen at the concerted effort to get everybody jabbed. What part to the New World Order play in this façade and where is it leading. Sorry, ‘where is it taking us’.
Enjoy the ride………….

Nice 6X – anyway – I just got’ randoxed’ – that is to say – ordered a day 2 pcr (£35) and am now I can’t collect it from the place I contracted …. Whether I can still return to UK now I don’t know – but I can smell the government wanting more money from me to obey their laws ….
I hope someone asks nut nut who died from the new improved Chinese virus – did they have other ailments ? We’re they obese ? Has the hospital where it happened other cases ? How many ? Where is it ?

6pm BBC1 news and in the headlines the example of working from home was a black lady and then we had a black little boy saying he was worried that if his mum couldn’t pay the bills they might end up on the streets. As it is only 6.04 as I type I am not sure what the story is about. But what mother shares such worries with such a young child, it is the sort of worries you protect your child from, not put him on the tele to promote. The family could afford the shiny air fryer I could see in the background.
Air fryer = poverty
Here we go again another bbc news program another tirade against Boris. He is not Boris he is the Prime Minister show some respect. You may not agree with what he does but he was voted for democratically. I now no longer think any one believes the tabloid bbc reports .

You have come to the right place re the BBC, but I doubt many on this site believes Boris either .
Do you ?
No I don’t believe him but I don’t believe BBC either who is telling the least truth
taffman, we always knew it would be a bumpy, chaotic ride with Bojo at the controls. I didn’t have Party membership (am not sure the Flog ’em & Hang ’em and Privatise everything Party would want me as a member) but had I signed up in time to vote, I would have gone for Jeremy Hunt. Right now, if there were a leadership battle, I’d go for Steve Baker.

Slaves were owned in all Islamic societies, both sedentary and nomadic, ranging from Arabia in the centre to North Africa in the west and to what is now Pakistan and Indonesia in the east. Some Islamic states, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and the Sokoto caliphate [Nigeria], must be termed slave societies because slaves there were very important numerically as well as a focus of the polities’ energies.

Starmer is loathsome. He did indeed keep saying “in the national interest.” He used to say that a lot when he was opposing Brexit and trying to overturn the referendum result.
Of course he also went on and on about how marvellous the NHS is and how we must protect it because it is at risk of being overwhelmed. Not to mention “The vaccine is safe and effective. It protects us and those around us.” Is it and does it?

\\ Retired BBC director caught with more than 800 child abuse images says they appeared ‘by accident’
Victor Melleney, who worked on Panorama and Question Time, says he had no idea how illegal material ended up on his devices
“The prosecution says that the defendant is not telling the truth about this.”
.. Mr Melleney allegedly used search terms consistent with the child abuse images,
He subscribed to a platform called Vuze, which contained file names “indicative of child sexual abuse exploitation”.
case continues //
The presence of files on a computer alone doesn’t necessarily prove
cos there are some rare strange ways files can get there. One way being if someone is setting you up.
but the prosecution case seems straightforward.
…….I’ve decided not to watch BBC news for the foreseeable future, I’m seriously getting pi–ed off and more and more angry..

On the news tonight.
The omicron cases are now 20% of the cases in England.
They don’t follow up with this though;
That must mean the delta variant is 20% down.
Good news because the omicron variant is far milder than the delta variant.
Emmanuel, deaths are certainly down to today and there have been quite a few discharged from hospital. No doubt tomorrow the BBC will be trying to say the NHS is overwhelmed.

They claimed the UK has 200,000 covid cases / day
I don’t believe that
cos that’s 6 million per month

It was 3
but then tonight I met the old prof and his wife
She’s still got Long Covid .. getting slightly better with time.
I asked where they got and without me prompting she said she’s pretty certain she got it in the vaccine centre in January.
That was the only place they went to before she got it,
and it involved queuing and waiting in a room with people.
@StewGreen
20% of global death is air polluion from fossil fuel particles…
Stew,”.they claimed the UK has 200,000 covid cases / day
I don’t believe that
cos that’s 6 million per month”
they know it’s not true, we know it’s not true but many of the BBC brain washed sheep don’t. The people need to start waking up and using their brains a bit. Problem is too much BBC content and brain stops working properly. I will be ignoring every covid rule like I have always done and it seems the same as what all the politicians have done too when no one is filming them . If they breaking rules and having parties they know no reason to be scared so we do what we want. I will not comply with them or be scared by the BBC
“Cases”? OK, not ill people, then.

Though the story suggests he was still in a quarantine hotel.
Like all those kerosene stoves that suddenly fall over and disfigure or kill women in rural India, just because the husband wants a separation.
From her photo, she looked to be a typical victim of inbreeding. This of course, results in medical vulnerabilities.

Alec Baldwin and Omicron now tied for number of deaths caused.
Alec didn’t do it, the gun did.
He said quite specifically is that he NEVER pulls the trigger when he is pointing a loaded gun at people.
John, Baldwin pulled back the hammer to cock the gun. If he didn’t get the pawl to engage and let go of the hammer it would spring against the shell which will fire.

“The Conservatives are not Conservative anymore and Labour with Sir Kier are not for working class people anymore,” Neil Oliver GB News https://youtu.be/ze2VWB8CbM8
That man has got more integrity, honesty and love for our country in his finger than any of those so called conservatives or the so called working class Labour party. There is hope, some of the Tories are still conservative and will be voting against this new damning restrictions being forced on people for no justification.
Worth watching the clip, compared to BBC news it’s eye opening instead of brainwashing
A very good analysis by Neil Oliver.
“It’s not leadership we are seeing – it’s followship.”
“There is nothing of substance at the heart of the British establishment.”

Omicron: Why do boosters work if two doses struggle?

We have reached a new level with the BBC and it’s propaganda. This article is how you might write for 8 year olds. Expect more of this everywhere.
‘Your second and third doses are comparable to sending your immune system to secondary school and then university to dramatically deepen its understanding. It’s not just repeating primary school over and over.’
How do we know that? How does the BBC know?
When the agenda demands it, the BBC decide what they want the result to be first then twist, manipulate, mis-represent or omit anything they need to reach that conclusion.
They have been developing the art with Panorama for many years.

… anyway – a non BBC sort of travel observation .
In the sunny country where I currently am the covid is very low . But when I return to London next week I have to get a test less than 48 before travelling and then a PCR and quarantine within 2 days of return at my expense .
Ok – dem are de rules .
But now I read that there is discussion between transport and health ministries suggesting the new virus is spreading so quickly that this testing regime will be dropped .
The change in the booster jab thing seems to have made it difficult to buy private PCR tests – even when the cost starts at about £50 and goes up – even for a DIY job .
Worst case for me is the requirement to quarantine for most of the Christmas period because I can’t get hold of the testing kit and get the result – meaning I can’t go to church and be holed up until 2022 .
I can do this with difficulty – but for others I would judge it to be impossible . Certainly I could never – never – do the 10 day £2000 hotel quarantine – but even that is – apparently – under review .
Meanwhile the BBC is spreading stress through constant reporting of shortages of booster appointments and long queues .
I also read the dismay in the BBC that the PM still has the status to get a result when he calls on joe public to do something – like get the booster ….
PS – I am not looking for sympathy re the above . And know there is one school of thought which considers international travel a sin during the pandemic .
Radio 4 around 12.30 were trying to do their best to highlight the doom and gloom re booster jabs and the utter chaos of the government. Things must be going pretty well as they were not finding many to fit their truth. But Winifred Robinson was doing her best by not listening to what people were actually saying. But she couldn’t hide the disappointment in her voice.
What is the POINT of “testing” people who are not even ill? This is Looking-Glass Land.

Still no mention of any details of who died ‘with omicron’ so we can safely assume it was not the actual cause of death and it’s more of this ridiculous scaremongering.
Our freebie metropolitan advertising sheet, the Metro, goes where even our BBC didn’t dare to venture as it bandies about its dread headline: ‘First patient in Britain dies of Omicron‘
In contrast, of course the BBC couldn’t resist the money shot, but their significantly weaker semanitcs leave the picture looking suspiciously out of focus: ‘Covid: First UK death recorded with Omicron variant‘
The BBC go on to suggest an open ended upping of the stakes but hide their dire claims behind attribution to Boris (a proven fibber of the first water, mind you): ‘At least one person in the UK has died with the Omicron coronavirus variant, the prime minister has said.‘
At least…? Presumably at time of going to press?
One tries to imagine a busy Prime Minister of the UK required to be so plugged into the minutiae of the NHS that he is informed personally of the notation on a death certificate of a single “Patient Zero”
One envisages the classical scholar in Boris would appreciate the scenario that apes the story where Pheidippides, an Athenian herald, runs hot foot from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of victory for the Greeks over the Persians. (Paving the way for the modern British hero Mo Farah) The vital message delivered, the messenger promptly collapses with exhaustion – leaving us with no further details.
Speaking of metropolitan free sheets, we pick up the Evening Standard – West End Final edition no less – if that stands for anything these days.
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome! as they say in the famous stage show Cabaret and as Mayor Khan likes to remind us: London is open to the world, and… we assume… free for all.
Gosh but has the Standard has got its knickers in a twist over the show Cabaret: ‘Five stars for cabaret! “Stunning, exciting, astonishingly contemporary and immersive”… Take it away Jessie for a breathless rebirth in lingerie and lederhosen… The programme for the show also features the use of pronouns for the cast with several members descibed in gender fluid terms “they”‘.
Cabaret is the ideal fever dream setting for the Lefty who likes to imagine “they” self in the dying decadence of Weimar Germany, giving it one to the sinister dark Rightwing forces, always lurking somewhere just on the verge of taking over – as if!
Emily Sheffield, sister of Samantha Cameron, is editor of the free sheet Standard having taken over from George Osborne. It is owned by Russian oligarch and former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev and his son Evgeny Lebedev.
The editorial line on the top national story is naturally more or less on message with Boris but with a dirty little fly inserted in the ointment: ‘Queue here: Race to jab 1m a day hits problems already‘
‘Struggle for testing kits and jab site crashes on day one‘
‘Boris’s poll reckoning: rating slumps to 13 points below Starmer‘ – placing himself in perpetual isolation could turn out to be Sir Keir’s wisest electorial strategy. However, I’m reminded of the polling insight that mid-term voters match the incumbent against their ideal notional government, whereas come election day the choice is actual and binary.
In capital crime news: ‘Hero detective’s widow tells of her pain as new appeal launched… The widow of a hero policeman stabbed to death chasing a bag snacher 30 years ago today spoke of her pain… Despite a global manhunt… the officer’s murderer – said to be of North African appearance and aged 27 to 30 – has never been caught‘
‘Man who raped woman after holding her prisoner for four days is jailed for 22 years… Abdul Awil, 29, from Fulham, was sentenced at Harrow Crown Court on Friday for GBH with intent, false imprisonment and two counts of rape. He was also issued with a Restraining Order for life.‘
‘Detectives have released images of two men they wish to identify after a robbery in east London. A 22-year-old man was attacked from behind by three males as he walked along St Georges Road, Newham. The suspects took £20 from the victim before knocking him to the floor and then both beating him up at around 10.15pm on 29 Otober.’ CCTV images reveal one stocky assailant had a black beard.
‘Edmonton: Killer who murdered market trader in ‘unprovoked’ attack jailed for at least 22 years… Lukasz Siemienowicz, 41, from Edmonton, was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years’ imprisonment at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Monday for the murder of 29-year-old Julio Gomes in September 2019. Sentencing, HH Judge Martyn Zeidman QC told the killer: “This was a totally unprovoked knife attack upon a good and innocent member of the public.’
‘Masked robbers armed with machete jailed after ambushing man at Leyton home for £5,700… Ricardo Fraser, 19, of Anglian Road, Waltham Forest, was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Monday to eight years behind bars… Ayrron Charles, 30, of Lea Hall Gardens, Waltham Forest, was given seven years in prison. They were both found guilty earlier this month of robbery and possession of an offensive weapon.‘
Phew! All these knives suggest to this observer that our dear old capital is slowly but surely committing Harakiri.
‘Trains, Tubes quieter after WFH order but City puts on a brave face‘
‘Crunch talks on the future funding of Transport for London will resume this week after the Government granted itself extra time to consider proposals from Sadiq Khan‘
And on a vaguely hopeful note…

“First death with Omicron recorded.” First of many, I am sure they hope.
I have finally given up on Radio 2 after several years of dwindling interest. Yesterday I had the misfortune to catch a minute of Steve Wright proudly announcing that one of his guests today will be Nish Kumar of ‘kill your elderly Brexit-voting parents’ fame. It is clear where the BBC’s sympathies lie. Hopefully the remaining decent presenters Tony Blackburn, Johnnie Walker and Paul Gambaccini will escape to a proper radio station.
Nor will I go within a million miles of the BBC this Christmas. The same tired old drivel propped up by their agenda. Was it last year that they ruined The Vicar of Dibley?
Sorry, rant over!
I managed to cling to the odd Ken Bruce and Paul O’grady but I’ve given up on them completely now. I have many older radio programs which I play through my PC or a bluetooth speaker.
Paul is OK but his gay producer Malcolm Prince is about as pathetically BBC politically-correct as you can get – and he joins in more and more these days.
….I gave up on BBC radio a good while ago. There is not a radio station on the BBC that is not tarnished by its appalling bias, left wing woke agenda
I know listen to brilliant independent stations such as Heart 70’s Radio…etc.
There are places where you can escape, thankfully

I shouldn’t say this because I know that will happen – but – 4extra still has a very few non woke non approved thought programmes ( plays ) from long ago .
When it started it was good . But then I think the listings was taken over by a 25 year old female media studies 2-2 graduate from the university of Oxford bypass and it went generally to rat poo right quick …
I sometimes listen to ‘Greatest Hits Radio’ where a few of the whitey BBC presenters like Alex Lester went when they got the boot to make space for more women.
And I have to confess that in small doses, I find Chris Moyles quite entertaining from time to time.
One BBC show I can still tolerate when I am in the mood is Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 6 – as long as far-left Maconie isn’t on another rant and calling the British public stupid for voting for Brexit.
Markh
I used to listen for limited times upto about 5 years ago – but discovered streaming online which is now the background choice . I get the feeling the BBC music channels are as threatened by this as the bias of the talking channels …..
… the best thing about the streaming technology is that is divorces kids from the ‘habit ‘ of listening to radio stations and diminishes the ego driven DJs ….. pop pickers – guys and gals …

They will pretend anything to protect their own.
“Was it last year that they ruined The Vicar of Dibley?”
That programme was ‘ruined’ from day one.
Its purpose was to push for more female clergy in the CofE, Richard Curtis said as much.
How did they ruin it? Rephrase: How could they ruin it?

HUNDREDS OF JEWS PROTEST OUTSIDE BBC OVER “SHODDY JOURNALISM”
order-order
BBC news page and the GBnews page are quite different
#1 The BBC news page has a correction at the bottom
That seems to be a correction-non-correction.
After 1,000 anti-Semitic things the bBC thinks it detected the phrase “dirty Muslims”, whereas people on the bus contest this saying it’s a Hebrew conversation that the BBC cherrypicked a bit and claim it’s in English
#2 The GBnews article shows it was a special Hanukkah party bus and it had stopped off on Oxford street and the costumed Jews had got out for a dance.
It was the site of this that provoked an angry response from the anti-Jewish people.
All of that is not clear in the BBC article.

Did anybody catch the news that NatWest was fined about £265 million for breaching money laundering regs?
“…….the client at the centre of the case is collapsed Bradford-based gold dealership Fowler Oldfield, which was shut down following a police raid in 2016”
BBC tiptoeing.
Bradford: Mmmmm. What is Bradford now known for?
I suspect that NW fell foul of employing and trusting ‘local people’ (read woke) who were simultaneously on others’ payroll. Its the way they work, exactly the same as Government offices in London. All local ’employees’ Civil servants will have their priority allegiance’s and that sure aint’ the UK and British people. They all answer to a higher authority than either NW or the UK Government.

The word ‘Champion’ now I associate with utter idiots. Possibly good sports.
The bimbos are making it up as they go along.
Control the language … control the thinking.
‘The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,’ he said. ‘We’re getting the language into its final shape — the shape it’s going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we’ve finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it! We’re destroying words — scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone. The Eleventh Edition won’t contain a single word that will become obsolete before the year 2050.’
He bit hungrily into his bread and swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, then continued speaking, with a sort of pedant’s passion. His thin dark face had become animated, his eyes had lost their mocking expression and grown almost dreamy.
‘It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn’t only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. …”

‘Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we’re not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,’ he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction. ‘Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?’

[The conversation between Vine, Sarkar and Dale] Gosh, that is crackers.
OT, but guessing this is going to be linked with folk who take rubber boats out into the Channel in winter….
So Trump is OK?
Not much hope nowadays. The standard of education now is pitiful. Even if they get to uni the wokeness that is all prevalent will generate a worthless degree.
Apparently the average IQ of people in this country is steadily going down. I can’t think why.
How long before these three are either side of Boris at the podiums?
Dale is a professional talker. Most of the time we should be more enlightened if he stayed silent. (Of the other two people with him I will not speak.)
The inventing stories was a bit of an issue before. More so now.
” It needs protection and support.” – threat of prosecution to pay for wages.
Rob is close to the “Save The BBC” PR woman
Is that creature off to Sky or the Guardian?
See the wording – one death – get the jab.
What does “claimed one life” mean? Tosh.
I read on the Realclearpolitics website today that John Stossel of the New York Post is suing Facebook for lying about him through their “fact-checkers.” In their defence Facebook’s lawyers are saying Facebook’s “fact-checks” are just opinion and therefore immune from defamation.
“Fact-checks” not statements of fact? Who would have thought it?
@Square-Eyed we’ve posted that Stossel video before
since it came out on November 30th
AFAIK Stossel is famous for being the Fox News business presenter
though he left to do his own project.
He’s not a New York Post journo
It’s just they just reposted his video
… https://youtu.be/cCOvFLlsjI4
Article : https://nypost.com/2021/12/13/facebook-bizarrely-claims-its-misquote-is-opinion/
It’s about Facebook appointing an activist group called The Poynter Institute as a gatekeeper to select fact checkers
and obviously they recruited their mates.
Who fact checks the face checkers!
All ‘fact checkers’ I’ve ever checked on twitter are left-wing activists.
Are you implying (I ask only in fun—I am sure you are not) that Marianna Spring is not always and in every detail absolutely right?
Almost a year and still no US Ambassador in London

Aren’t you mistaken ?
