R4 WATO I never listen, cos it always sounds like a Labour Party student common room.
And true to form it opens with, I paraphrase
: ‘vaccine passports, the problem is there are these Tory MPs, they side with the crank protesters outside, and plan to vote against the new law.
And they include centrists, not just the evil rightwing ones’

Yeah, know what you mean. I listened, Stew, but switched off when the Montacutie came to the next item, the murder of yet another baby, this time in Bradford. Just couldn’t stand it any more.
“Lessons will be learned.” no doubt.
Remember the ITBB post about BBC cover for Labour NhS?
Then comes the propaganda.
.
A little girl dies horrifically and- as per the new normal, police & media just can’t understand why. Nothing to do with Islam or immigration of course. These kinds of killings have allways been part of British life.

“It is growing (gang r*pe culture), there’s no doubt about that. A large amount of the growth in my view is about raised awareness.” – Cressida Dick @1:40 {youtube}
“I don’t think this was a phenomena (gang r*pe culture) that was invented in the last few years. It really wasn’t. It’s been part of our society probably for centuries and centuries and centuries. It’s hard to really know exactly what is really going up and what is changing. ” – Cressida Dick @2:38
What does she mean by “our society”?
If a Muslim woman can be doused in fuel, set on fire and allowed to burn to death on the street by her family in Manchester and the BBC make it a small article which disappears in a couple of days then don’t expect anything to come of this if she has been murdered.
Their double standards sicken me to the core. They don’t care one bit about anyone who dies unless they can use it for the anti-white agenda.
The speed with which they dropped the Sasha Johnson and Sabina Nessa stories as soon as they discovered it wasn’t whitey who did it prove that beyond any doubt.

do they still sell those junior chemistry sets I always wanted for christmas but never received
They were very boring. No explosions and IIRC, not even the necessary to make a stink bomb. Just things turning blue when you mixed them.

Another puff piece from rashy’s ultra woke, ultra virtue signalling PR team,
yer have to have taxpayer funded vouchers to pay £10
& allegedly rashy had to go to the FB at xmas
GTFOH
(Get the Fudge Outta Here )
Man asks someone else to do something then takes credit for it and says he did it ….
Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has said a £10 menu created by chef Tom Kerridge will help people in need “wake up on Christmas morning happy”.
The footballer, who was made an MBE for his food poverty campaigning, tasked Kerridge to create the menu due to his own memories of visiting the local food bank on Christmas morning.
and even reduced with government vouchers (c/o tax payer), so we should all take credit
Earlier this fine day Sky posted a silly #prasnews ‘study’ that rightly deserved mockery.
Of course, the cubicle gardens too….

Who are necessarily none too bright either.
My experience is that the best teams have a handfuls of very intelligent experienced experts who define the overall architecture and buckets of ‘average’ engineers who do all the hard, laborious work like documentation, coding + testing.
If they were all brilliant, they would all want to do the 10% inspiration and nobody would want to do the 90% perspiration.
I’m going to be – as moderator – a hypocrite – but I’m posting below – a ( long) piece by —-Jordan Peterson from the DT – it is about ‘free speech ‘ and does not refer to the target of this website ….
STARTS
Of all the twists and turns that my life has taken over the last few years, one of the most truly upsetting and surreal was learning that I had been peremptorily disinvited from one of Britain’s great universities.
In 2018, when I last travelled to Britain, I met with several Cambridge professors and began to discuss the possibility of arranging a seminar there, focusing on some key Biblical texts. A formal offer of a Visiting Fellowship was proffered to me in February 2019, facilitated by Dr Douglas Hedley, Professor of the Philosophy of Religion at Clare College, and arranged through the necessary actions on the part of Cambridge and the University of Toronto.
In the autumn of 2016, I had rented a 500-seat theater (on a whim, you might say) in Toronto, Canada, and delivered fifteen 90-minute public lectures entitled The Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories. Surprisingly, all the lectures attracted a sold-out house. Furthermore, the majority of the audience consisted of young men, a notoriously difficult audience to attract to such things. The initial lecture, Introduction to the Idea of God, focused on the first two sentences of the Book of Genesis. Those who came to watch and listen walked their way with me through the remainder of that great book during the remaining fourteen.
By the close of 2018, when initial arrangements were being made regarding my Fellowship, some four million people had watched the first lecture on YouTube, with a multitude more listening on my podcast. The series has now been viewed or watched forty million times. It has, in addition, attracted a widespread positive response from Christian Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox believers alike (even widespread positive critical response), as well as large swathes of the Orthodox Jewish and Islamic faithful. In a further unexpected twist, the lectures have also proved popular with those who regard themselves as explicitly atheistic.
I recount this only to explain why the initial invitation from Cambridge was proffered: it has proved increasingly difficult for those concerned about our traditional and religious heritage to propagate their message — their ideas — to the modern community, and the success of my venture generated some great curiosity.
Out of Egypt
After the success of the Genesis venture, I had the ambition to continue my investigations and discussion with the Book of Exodus. Knowing that I am an amateur in such matters (being possessed of no training in formal theology) I thought it would be prudent to test my knowledge and understanding in a setting that would challenge what I was assuming and potentially rectify my profound remaining ignorance. I therefore set out with my would-be Cambridge hosts to hear the opinions of those who had made the study of Divinity their central calling before I presumed to re-engage upon my lecture series. It was a great honour for me, and I say this most truly, to be offered this opportunity as a psychologist and an academic interloper.
My invitation raised some hackles behind the scenes, however, based on what I would call a wilfully blind “misinterpretation” of my putative political views. In consequence, the invitation was unceremoniously rescinded, on an excuse which I later learned had been manufactured post-hoc. This happened, conveniently as well as treacherously, when Dr Hedley, my sponsor, was absent conducting his affairs in India.
I discovered that I had been cancelled not as a formal notification, but accidentally, on Twitter. This, to say the least, was a shock.
Earlier this year, however, I received an invitation to return. In the aftermath of my cancelling (and other too-similar incidents), an intense battle had been waged to make the sort of gratuitous forbidding that had been applied to me impossible.
A group of Cambridge dons arose to challenge and reword a set of revisions to the university policy on free speech that would have, ironically — if that word is strong enough — made future similar cancellations both easier and more likely. Then they attempted to find twenty-five people who would affix their names to a petition that forced a full, anonymous and binding vote on the matter. This specific effort took months.
People were afraid to sign; afraid that making their support for such a change public would expose them to sanctions similar in consequence to those that befell me; afraid that they would be mobbed and cancelled. But enough people eventually did so, and the matter was duly brought forward to Regent House, Cambridge’s ultimate governing body.
And when the vote was called, an unusually large proportion of those eligible to cast their ballots turned out to make their opinions known. Almost nine out of ten of the fifteen-hundred or so who did so voted to make such cancellations impossible in the future — a larger margin of victory than any of the academics I spoke with about such issues of governance could recall. Obviously, something was transpiring of far broader significance than the mere revoking of my individual fellowship offer.
The salvation of the rapidly-corrupting modern university
And, so, to the first of many reasons why I love Great Britain. Cambridge (like Oxford, from which it is descended, much as it dislikes to admit it) has a highly decentralised college structure. Both great institutions are more a loose collection of autonomous colleges, each with their own history, tradition, architecture, peculiarities of self-government, and educational aims. This arrangement allows for maximal liberty and creativity in thought and action at the most vitally important level — the local — while simultaneously enabling an optimal level of cross-college rivalry and cooperation.
Furthermore, and most significantly, this free and loose organisational structure makes bureaucratic capture of the entire institutions extremely difficult. This, in turn, makes the rectification of mistakes, which will inevitably be made, possible and even likely. And that might just be the salvation of the rapidly-corrupting modern university, as well as everything downstream from that culture (and that is everything).
And the rebellion at that august institution and elsewhere against the ideological forces currently threatening free discourse and inquiry in the academy is just beginning. Mark my words.
My wife and I returned to Cambridge on November 17. I attended a number of seminars there, and delivered two public lectures (as I did a week later at Oxford, where I had also been invited to meet, speak and teach). I used these opportunities to discuss and test a proposition key to the body of thought I have been developing and communicating about for many decades: that we all perceive the world not as a set of self-evident objective material facts, but as a system of meaning, and that we do so by applying a framework which when described is a narrative: a story. I proposed further that this fact has profound — even revolutionary — implications for how we understand science and theology and for how we conceptualise ourselves, existentially, in the world.
These ideas were markedly well received.
I also had the great privilege of talking for several hours while at Oxford first to Sir Roger Penrose, perhaps the world’s most renowned living physicist, and then to Dr Richard Dawkins, who is rather uniquely a Fellow both of the original Royal Society (an honor bestowed upon outstanding scientists) and of the Royal Society of Literature, founded in 1820 by King George to “reward literary merit and excite literary talent.” Dr Dawkins is, as well, perhaps the world’s most famous and influential atheist.
Dr Penrose and I (along with Dr Stephen Blackwood, who served as mediator) discussed his fascinating artistic proclivity for geometric tiling — an endeavour related, in my opinion, to the relationship between mapping a territory and the territory itself. I spoke with Dr Penrose mostly to inquire and to learn, as his knowledge roams far afield from mine, and was well-rewarded in my efforts, as our conversation literally spanned the micro- and macro-cosmic realms.
I spoke with Dr Dawkins (after long, tentative and increasingly amicable correspondence beforehand) to clarify my ignorance of his well-defended positions, particularly in relationship to his opposition to religious belief and behavior. Suffice it to say in the latter case that we have much more to talk about. I greatly enjoyed both opportunities and will be releasing a video recording of the former and an audio of the latter in the very near future.
I believe that these conversations went very well. I certainly found them intensely engrossing and informative. And I regard it as another great privilege and opportunity to place them online, where they will be made available to millions of avid listeners around the world. I can do that because I am a free-speaking citizen of Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth and, except for our own sporadic and inexcusable foolishness, a country shaped to the core by the English Common Law tradition.
Furthermore, I can make those discussions and all my talks and seminars at Oxbridge available on YouTube, the technologically-revolutionary platform invented by Americans who were even at the time of their revolution and are still now in some real sense sovereign British citizens, insisting on their due and intrinsic rights.
The power of free speech
And what would the world be without the recognition of those rights? A stifling web of intrigue; a system of archaic dynasties; a tribal mess of clans, steeped in nepotism, warring with one another for access to the short-term exigencies of power. I realise that there are other lights in the world, apart from the UK and its subsidiaries and once-dependents, although I would argue that even the European countries that profess respect for freedom of speech and thought (in reality, fealty to the divine word, both secular and inescapably religious) have done so in no small part because of the influence of that great land.
And the fact that Dr Dawkins and I came armed, so to speak, with radically different viewpoints and conceptions was a spur to our very productive conversation, and not an impediment. And the fact that such discussions and their dissemination are possible throughout so much of the world (rather than positively forbidden and fatally dangerous) is another one of the reasons I love Great Britain.
My talks at both Cambridge and Oxford appeared uniformly welcomed by faculty and students alike (with a single exception: a rather courageous and comic young woman, dressed in a full-body lobster suit, who popped in during my most public talk at Cambridge to shout “feminism” and dance briefly about).
Why was that reception so positive, uniform, and manifold, when I was apparently ignorant and malevolent enough to be banned from the campus only two short years ago? The students at Cambridge remained seated when I entered the hall just prior to my first talk, although they had lined up down the block for most of the day beforehand, while the Oxford crowd, anxious as they are not to be outdone, gave me a (overwhelmingly moving) standing ovation before I spoke there.
I say that not in triumph, I hope, as that would be the sort of pride that deservedly invites a fall, although I might need to confess occasionally harbouring at least a quizzical smile about such things. Such a public response seems at curious odds with the idea so invidiously insisted upon that I was and am a fundamentally malign person, characterised by literally unacceptable political opinions.
The same mode of interaction made itself evident in what were many dozens of encounters with individual students on the streets and in the colleges at Oxbridge: no fear, no disgust, no contempt, no hatred — just a series of extremely inviting, pleasant, and often surprisingly deep and intimate individual encounters with fine mostly young people, striving with all due effort upward and onward, informing me forthrightly that they were doing so.
Perhaps an inquiring and curious journalist could discuss, among other issues, the fact of my fellowship revocation, the Regent House vote, and the positive response to my presence at Cambridge with the soon-to-depart Vice Chancellor (another Canadian — we are a pesky and intrusive lot), Prof Stephen Toope, whose precipitous retirement from the glorious UK academic and cultural scene was somewhat synchronistically timed, given the aforementioned vote and my subsequent re-invitation. Or, perhaps it could all be discussed with the tiny number of individuals, still meddling madly and unrepentantly behind the scenes, who orchestrated the whole false thing in the beginning.
And the fact that a journalist could inquire about such things is yet another reason why I love Great Britain, with its profound commitment to the idea that the curious have the right to interrogate and investigate those who have been granted authority or usurped power.
The people of Great Britain have granted the world a gift
After our university sojourn — after having been granted access to the original writings of Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton, after attending the most beautiful imaginable choir-accompanied services at the magnificent chapels gracing both institutions, after walking down the hallowed historical halls of higher learning in a setting constantly overwhelming and remarkable for a mere colonial, accustomed to history on a much more minor scale — my wife and I were privileged to tour the British Parliament, accompanied by one of the peers of the realm.
And she was great, if I might be so bold to say so: everything a hopeful outsider uncorrupted by the pervasive cynicism that corrupts our time might have wished for — kind, charitable, engaging, unpretentious, articulate, elegant, and possessed of that wonderful accent, bestowing upon its possessor the immediate impression of high intelligence.
In the Palace of Westminster I stopped for a moment at the precise centre of the heart of that remarkable building and lifted my eyes upward directly under the immense chandelier suspended under the beautiful and ornate domed octagonal ceiling. I perceived then that I was standing at the base of the realisation in stone, wood, and the air itself of the Cosmic Tree, Yggdrasil itself, the liana joining heaven and earth, the object of the most ancient of sacred visions and religious transports, the very lifeline between the skies that beckon forever above and the suffering and fallen ground we tread upon.
If I could have asked for something more to befall me at that moment it would have been the music of the divine to accompany that vision, perhaps Bach’s great third Brandenburg Concerto, although I would have settled for the British national anthem, God Save the Queen. That lobby is most certainly not the untrustworthy, corrupt and damnable site of power, dominance and oppression, but the very place where the practical redemption of a great people is continually undertaken, governed by the transcendent and necessary principle of the unalienable right to express the Logos as conscience, soul and rationality itself dictate.
That lobby, enshrined in that Palace — that cardinal Castle of the Word — has been a very light unto the world, concretised and embodied there simultaneously in stone, tradition and living action. It is the very place where the sovereign voice of the people meets the voice of its representatives, to be carried forth into its eventual incarnation into the body of laws we separately and jointly accept, adopt and act out.
We are all carriers of the temptation to resentment and the desire to compel and force those who disagree with our presumptions that poses an eternal threat to the integrity of our souls and our societies. We are all possessed by the attributes of the Auschwitz capo — the Gulag trusty: the willingness to turn away and to consciously deceive, and the capacity to delight in oppression and cruelty. We are each and all of us tainted by the blood that soaks our soil.
But the people of Great Britain have granted the world a gift whose power stands in permanent opposition to our most appalling proclivities as individuals and societies. That gift is the political expression of the sanctification of the word — freedom in speech, imagination and thought: freedom to engage in the very process that builds and rebuilds habitable order itself from the chaos that eternally surrounds us. And that freedom is expressed in many ways, small and great, in the British Isles: in the wit of its people, in the effectiveness of its institutions, in the beauty of its art and literature, in the political and psychological presumptions that guide private discourse and public conception and action.
And that is most particularly why I love Great Britain. And that is why, people of that realm (and not only of that realm), you should love her too, despite her sins, with your eyes lifted upward, your hope to the future, and the word of truth and faith on your tongues.
I love your country.

MM, who was the ‘Sophie’ that Mattew Wright apparently voted for in the London Elections – did I hear that right?
Thanks, Fed, good idea to post that. I knew Jordan Peterson had had a bit of a Christian upbringing (I think, or am I muddling him with James Lovelock?) but had no idea of that lecture series he had presented in Toronto.
Interesting, but I do not share his optimism, considering the politically motivated “Stoodent unions” who cause such problems, here and in the USA.
Democratic mayors under fire as crime, violence plagues Chicago, New York, Philadelphia
Chicago mayor blamed retailers for not locking up merchandise amid flood of smash-and-grab robberies
{She is not white and guess what ? does not blame the perpetrators….)
Democratic mayors are raising eyebrows with their responses to the rising crime plaguing major cities like New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia.
The U.S. murder rate rose 30% between 2019 and 2020, according to FBI data – the largest annual increase on record, with Chicago topping the list. At least 12 major cities, including New York, have already set historical murder records in 2021. Robberies and assaults are also on the rise, and retailers in major cities across the country are reporting an uptick in organized smash-and-grab crimes during the busy holiday shopping season.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced criticism last week after she responded to the recent flood of robberies in her city by blaming retailers for not better protecting their merchandise.

What do New Yorkers think about letting noncitizens vote in city elections?
New Yorkers were split on whether they support the measure
The New York City Council passed legislation Thursday to allow nearly 800,000 legal noncitizens who have lived in the city for over 30 days to vote in local elections. It would apply to green-card and work-permit holders as well as those within Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

So Green card holders like foreign BBC staff will be able to vote.
Such people will be swung by their allegiance to Britain and their home country etc.

Murder of helpless child beaten to death by gypsy less important than alleged racism and homophobia according to the socialist social workers:
The abuse included the toddler being ‘choke-slammed’ being forced to stand facing a wall and being repeatedly punched.
From this to this in WEEKS: Haunting Facebook post of family who begged social services not to let Little Star ‘become another Baby P’ but were dismissed FIVE TIMES – in another failing by authorities days after Arthur Labinjo-Hughes case
social services missed five chances to stop them, the final time just week before she was killed.
Mr Fawcett said they warned the the authorities: ‘We don’t want another Baby P on our hands here, do we?’.
But they say they were accused of being ‘troublemakers who made the complaint because we didn’t like gipsies or same sex relationships’.
Jurors were shown footage which prosecutors said showed Brockhill delivering 21 blows to Star in a car over three hours, some as the toddler sat in a car seat.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10293155/Mother-20-female-lover-28-guilty-death-16-month-old-daughter.html
Another film which was shown to the jury, described by the prosecutor as ‘disturbing and bizarre’, showed Star falling off a plastic chair and hitting the floor.
The mobile phone footage had been slowed down with music added, plus a caption which said ‘in this moment she realises she has messed up’.
Another clip, filmed on both defendants’ phones, showed Star being so exhausted she fell forward and went to sleep in a bowl of food.
I’ve never seen so many HYS’s open on the BBC main stories – and all about new COVID restrictions. As expected, they are full of students slagging down Boris + the government and praising Starmer.

They really are the most dirty b@st@rds.

Started ok, then got caught up and ended up as big a joke as the rest of the W1ankers.
Dead children
Do you notice how the BBC focuses on the role of the state when some’ scum ‘ which is badged as a ‘parent’ kills their young child’?
There is little attention to the vermin who do the killing . It’s as though they have no responsibility . The latest one – the second in 2 weeks goes for the easy ‘lack of funding / training ‘ staffing ‘ whatever of the social services – but little on the evil in the hearts of the scum I have referred to .
Nor is there mention of the punishment that the killers should endure – in this case it’s a couple of homosexual women – which I reckon won’t cause much fear going to a lady prison …
If the real opposition to the present circus known as “The Government” has to be removed, The Reclaim, The Reform and UKIP parties need to put aside any differences and form a coalition to kick out “The Government” ……………………..
Those proper conservatives who voted today against these unnecessary restrictions should quit the Red Tory party and just defect to Reform or one of those others. least then those parties would get some representation in parliament. It’s an absolute joke our so called democracy right now
Yet another extremely shocking murder of a small child whose life could have been saved if social services had acted in time.
Will the BBC be quickly moving to tell us how wonderful step-parents are or telling us how the death is the fault of the evil Tories as social services struggle with overwork and underfunding as the BBC did when Arthur Labinjo-Hughes died?
The reality is that this is all social services…both cases…they had plenty of evidence and plenty of chances to intervene but failed to do so…in the case of Star Hobson they seemed to be more concerned about the grandparents who notified them of the probable abuse…..oh…lol….instant from the BBC….
‘In Bradford, the troubled children’s services department involved in Star’s case has struggled with high demand, high staff turnover and high caseloads for some social workers.
More generally, during a decade of squeezed budgets, children’s services have increasingly concentrated efforts on clearly high-risk cases. Research shows between 2010 and 2020, spending on early intervention halved. ‘
No…there’s no excuse…the social services visited and saw the child covered in bruises, dazed and battered, evidence of abuse was even posted on-line…and they did nothing…money wasn’t the problem…they could there and then have taken the child but didn’t….naivity, do-gooder stupidity and incompetence are the problem.
The BBC should point out the real culprit instead of politicising this and trying to cynically use the death of a child to attack the Tories.
I wonder what happened to the ( male ) person who bred the child ? …. ..one of those cases where the liberals can look away now ….
Two ‘mothers’ are just as good as mum and dad, better in fact because they have ‘pride’.
ITV local news “we could get 1 million Covid infections/day”
You can’t extrapolate growth like that
UK has 24 million people triple jabbed
plus X million who’ve had Covid
There’s only a limited people left who can easily catch Covid.
Funny how the emphasis is now on cases of infections and not deaths or hospitalisations or indeed seriousness. Someone died ‘with’ Omicron…could have been run over by a bus for all we know but the BBC kept reporting it as if covid killed them.
So many people getting infected by this ‘tidal wave’, or is it a tsunami?, that we just have to be terrified of the scale of this pandemic….let’s all just lockdown just in case.
Boris telling us never mind if it’s mild or not….that’s not important, what’s important is…er…doing ‘something’…and the BBC happily going along with that. Incredible failure of our national broadcaster to interrogate Boris and Co and make them justify the approaching draconian measures that they seem so eager to impose for no real reason….other than fear of the BBC’s reaction if they don’t…the BBC openly claimed Boris personally killed thousands by not locking down early enough in September [complete bo**cks of course]…the country is being run, into the ground, by the BBC right now.
Interesting that Biden is saying there’s nothing to worry about really….where’s the BBC outrage ala Trump? Trump of course just repeated what his scientists told him….but he got the blame….and he’s a racist for locking down too early and stopping the Chinese and Europeans from coming to the US at the height of the pandemic…what a bigot!
Definitely should be an inquiry into the BBC’s handling of the pandemic and how its reporting influenced politics, science, the economy and ultimately how it forced us into lockdown with all its baleful effects.
The BBc would not come out well if the honest truth be known.
LOL….Sue at Is the BBC Biased? says regarding the BBC’s anti-Semitism…
‘I can’t find much coverage of the protest that took place outside Broadcasting House on Monday evening. The BBC rarely reports protests against itself (well, why would it?) but the only “mainstream’ press report I can find so far today is in OMG The Daily Mail.’
No, the BBC doesn’t like to put itself in the frame…it’s always ‘The Press’ or now, the new evil corrupters, ‘social media’, that are the problem.
On the ‘Sunday’ programme we heard of a study into anti-semitism…social media the culprits again….the BBC presenter didn’t suggest that the real culprit might be the massive news organisation that feeds the lies and black propaganda against Jews and Israel which is used by those on social media to back up their anti-Semitism….the BBC itself.
BBC News kills Jews.
So stew – what do you reckon the headlines for the first week of 2022 will be ….?
…maybe .. “Johnson spoilt Christmas by over reacting “
Or
NHS overwhelmed by latest Chinese virus brand
Or

Or

I suppose they’ll decide at the next BBCnews/Labour Party joint campaign meeting.

Headline in The Telegraph:
First real-world study:

Oh dear. Somebody is lying to us. Could it possibly be the BBC ?.
Their stance that ‘2 jabs do not work at all against omicron but they still protect you from having to go to hospital’ in an article written like they are talking to 8 year olds has me suspicious.
‘Why you can trust the BBC’. A pointless slogan : a liar will lie and say he doesn’t.
Jab#1- 0% protection.
Jab#2 – 0% protection.
Booster#1 – 75% protection.

a) never
b) never in a month of Thursdays
c) only after bleeding them dry to 1. fund the NHS, 2. save the NHS, and, 3. fund the NHS some more.
What next ? MPs will be exempt from “passes”.
A rule for some …………………………..
“despite huge Tory rebellion” – failed rebellion – failed Tories.
We now live under one party … “A total of 99 Conservatives voted against the government, but the measure was passed by a majority of 243 thanks to Labour support.”
Banania, is maincony your chum ?
Just asking .
I’ve noticed Banania often baits someone to say something actually racist – not just what they can twist and say is racist. Fortunately on this site, it’s very rare.
Which I’m sure is a big disappointment for the BBC trolls and their database, which I am 100% certain is there for their defence should a forum like this ever be cited against them as evidence.
JohnC – thank you – one for the list ….
Time for a new thread .
@Fedup2
What list? A list of what? Am I being accused of anything spiteful?
@JohnC
First time I have ever been accused of that. I don’t actually know what you mean!
Looks as though Boris days are over. More pics coming out
Dominic Cummings says loads of damning pics will be released and says that it will be the end of Boris Johnson political career..
Apparently Mirror papers to release more tonight or tomorrow..
According to so called insiders it’s going to get messy…
I get the feeling Cummins is behind all the leaks..In his comments he says it’s the end of Boris…how does he already know the new pics are bad..???? I smell a rat
I don’t need to speculate about news that has not happened
what happens happens .
The only interesting change is when an outsider takes over from the Islington elites
a proper outsider ..not a Tory or Labour.
Dafydd, it’s here…

Covid death trend is down another 6.5% to114/day
… https://twitter.com/LawrenceGilder/status/1470820524892827651
This time last year it was trending above 500/day
then 1500 from mid-January
Marcus Rashford for Health Secretary.
Greta for Energy Minister.
Carrie Johnson for PM!
Jeremy Corbyn…..
Tonight I will oppose both compulsory vaccines for NHS staff, and the introduction of vaccine passports. Both measures are counterproductive and will create division when we need cooperation and unity.

There is still hope Mark, least there are some in that place that care about the people rather than just want to control the people.
I got sent a song today that cheered me up after reading about how the undemocratic and unscientific democracy voted tonight. It’s free on YouTube https://youtu.be/7MqdAPt4rT8 apparently it’s what the people are playing during the protests against these unnecessary, unjust, unscientific restrictions on our lives. Quite catchy really, it’s even on Amazon for less than a quid to support them
Boris – Left of Labour and now backed by Labour! HA HA HA HA!
Just seen that trials are underway for vaccine being blown into the patient rather than by needle. Not far now until we can all get forced to be vaccinated as we walk into town whether we know it or not via some hidden machine.
There is coming a reckoning and I will be amongst those smashing the authoritarian machine for sure!
We will not go quietly into the night!
Reasons the experts might tell the public Ivermectin doesn’t work against Covid19.
1. Because it doesn’t work.
or…
2. Because it does work.
Seems to me we haven’t had a clear answer but the Pharma giants are whipping up a PR campaign for *their* pills…
Both very good reasons.

Check out the “Comments”.
Here is one good one that is worth an uptick……………

“Channel tragedy: French authorities identify 26 victims”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59650239
Blame Culture at work at Al Beeb?
The fact is, the victims put their own lives at risk. Why do they want to leave France? Why did the French let them cross ? Why didn’t the French care for them ?
The French borders are porous thanks to the EU.
Nothing to Great Britain as we are overcrowded already . The only thing our “present” government can be blamed for is allowing 25000 plus to let them in to the UK this year alone and not returning them back to France.
Its France’s fault!
Australia – Lessons to be learned anyone ?
Yes , change our Prime Minister , or better still, change our pathetic government.
We voted for Brexit .
Taffman ,
Why don’t the ones that say we should make it safer ( and easier ) for these migrants- bogus asylum seekers to use safer alternatives just say allow the immigrants— bogus asylum seekers to cross over on the ferries?
Nibor
Is that what you would like?
Answer – because they know it would be a vote loser .
They would rather us be invaded covertly. We voted for Brexit to prevent this ongoing invasion.
Simples .
Taffman ,
Do you think I would like that ?
I just want to go back to basics and see where we — or better still , the Powers That Be and the Gramscians go wrong .
Nibor
Yes but it will be too late for the next generation of the people of Great Britain.
