Not BBC sorry. But can anybody help me? Each year around Xmas I attend a friend’s dinner party. They have been very enjoyable with good talk good manners. Last year the hostess proposed a toast to Jacinda Ardern. Fortunately it was proposed in a way that enabled me to join in. That was followed by a guest proposing a salute to Jacinda’s government in which I did not participate but my abstention was not noticed.
I am sure this year the hostess will propose another toast to her hero Jacinda. Can anyone inform me of a the correct etiquette to enable me to abstain from toasting a prime minister I loathe?
If Elizabeth Warren can do it I am sure you can claim to be Māori – bonus victim points!
Ha! Very good, Jim S. I’m sure that would actually work as the worse thing the white liberals can do here is offend a Maori.
You may be interested to know that Jacinda Arderns government is trying to change the name of this country to Aotearoa. They also are planning moves to revoke democracy as we know it and introduce a system of part-tribal government.
This may sound like nonsense but the way her government is operating is really scary. She has no mandate for this all is done by stealth and deception. The media here are all as compliant as the BBC is in the UK . I can explain more in detail if anybody is interested,
Yasser, you might (if the dinner
partygathering guests dislike Tony Blair as much as some do here in the UK) mention that Ardern worked for Tony Blair in London for a while and because of that and the lives lost in Gulf 2 (on all sides) that you cannot possibly join in the toast.It might, of course, put a bit of a dampener on proceedings.
I have always found it odd that New Zealand and Australian politics have strong ‘lefty’ elements when one might imagine that the rural and pioneer heritage would make for ‘small c’ conservatism and a ‘can do attitude’ – something like the USA used to be.
Australia can be strangely authoritarian, we had a set of DIY books once that said that for Australians the chapters were ‘for information only’, (I can’t believe that someone in the outback would wait on a registered plumber/electrician to fix simple faults!).
I heard it said recently that Australians are not only descended from convicts but also the guards, which explains the authoritarianism.
Perhaps just like we are supposed to grow like our pet dogs New Zealanders are growing to be like sheep?
Take courage, surely sanity must return some day soon?
Fascinating interview with Helen Dale about Australia
Break wind at the appropriate moment.
Yasser
I would outwoke them . Perhaps take along a framed picture of the mad tart or that mental green teenager – as a christmas present …
Yasser
Your social dilemma has intrigued me. Some form of it must be painfully familiar to many here.
I think it comes down to how important this friendship is to you. If it means more to you than your political opinion of Ardern, then just play along. If you believe that your obvious abstention would cause an ugly scene or risk the loss of that friendship, your joining in can be morally justified, both to yourself and the world at large.
If though you can’t bear betraying your political principles by participating in the toast, the correct etiquette is apparently to raise your glass but only pretend to drink. Your conscience is clear and you haven’t insulted your hostess. Only you, God, and your pals on this site will know and understand the truth.
Yasser – memorise Arderns’ rise to power and her life story . Spend the entire evening talking about her whilst keeping a straight face … more toasts as the booze flows …. It Christmas ( unless she has banned that as well because it insults the indigenous population or seals ) …
I’m afraid there is no cure for this. Your friend is infected with the common myopic image of someone who has been anointed and sainted by the media. Your friend will be seeing a strong female with a 100% right on view of all things. They will not be seeing the stupidity, the narrow-mindedness and all the other faults that Jacinda really has.
There is no cure, you have two options, stay silent or ditch your friend.
Is Jacinda Ahernia teetotal?
Spouse surely cannot be?

One huge benefit of Omicron is that it has cured climate change. No mention by our BBC anymore.
The only Climate change article in last Saturday’s Times
was Justin Rowalatt being censured for fakenews
as a result of Paul Homewood taking his complaint all the way
I suspect other people complained too.
Climate Change goes into hibernation for the winter dontcha know!
No, wintertime, (certainly in the UK) prompts scepticism – We cannot recognise ‘Global Warming’ when our nuts are freezing off.
First the flu, then climate change; thank heavens for corony.
BBC but not overtly biased. Sometimes the bias is not what they do, but what they choose not to do.
Some ten years ago, Mr S senior, with dementia but keen to live in his home still (200 miles from me) had to go into hospital a couple of times. Not serious but needed checking out. I well remember the stress of trying to get through to the hospital for updates, often to no avail. I won’t bore you with the details of two nearly catastrophic hospital discharges and the great difficulty of getting things sorted out from afar.
So I read this BBC story today with a very great deal of empathy and appreciation.

‘Families struggle to speak to patients in hospital’
Now this is portrayed as a covid issue but I know damn well from my above experience that is a convenient smokescreen.
Why the h*** does the BBC not get off its fat a*** and do some investigating?
Because what we have here is the real NHS seen across a decade. Incapable of improvement. No discernible interest in the impact their ‘service’ has on patients and families. Obsession with process and not outcomes. Irredeemable. Unreformable. Yet this travesty which costs us hundreds of billions is supported uncritically by so many of the public, the same public apparently in convulsions about whether two or more people had a drink together in a Downing Street office over a year ago.I am lost for further words.
I hope things turned out OK, Sluff.
One of the reasons is Old Holborn’s piece a few pages back, where millions are being spent on NHS diversity crap, and not much on information for worried relatives!
Michael Heaver – contradictory reports about the role of the ECJ in the NI Protocol. It’s looking like the UK is giving in to EU demands.

Radio4 7pm a claim that Omicron is doubling every 2 days
that is a bit misleading cos the overall pattern of Covid is not superrapid growth
There was a sudden 60% leap from 50K Monday to 80K Tuesday
then the daily growth was steady to 92K Monday
then Wednesday slight rise
and Thursday maybe a slight fall
The context is increased tests
picking up cases which would have been missed before
Deaths are still trending down with the 7 day average being 112
Stew, there was a small fall in overall Covid-19 infections today, down to 90,418.

Lord Frost gone now! What will it take to shake this government into commonsense?
It takes something special to make me want rid of a Tory PM, I even stuck by Major (More fool I) but I wanted rid of May and now I want rid of Boris ASAP. Please give us a PM who at least seems to hold conservative values. Boris has gone Woke and he needs to be gor rid of.
A recent Frost speech
Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit minister and one of his closest allies, has resigned in protest at the ‘direction’ of the government.
He has been making his discomfiture clear for a while, most recently in this speech to the Centre for Policy Studies where he said he believed in low tax (Johnson is raising tax) and no vaccine passports (Johnson forced them through with Labour votes last week).
Invoking Margaret Thatcher’s Bruges speech he said – in a clear warning to the Prime Minister
– ‘We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the European Union from Britain with Brexit, only to import that European model after all this time’. Here is an extract from the speech:
We have taken a different road in the UK. Our elections now matter and everything can change as a result of them. That means politicians have to compete in the marketplace of ideas. We have to persuade people that free markets and free institutions are the best way forward. If we can’t – we lose. And that is all the more important because we are on our own now. Our destiny is in our own hands and we have to step up and compete at a global level. It is no longer good enough to be the most attractive economy in the EU.
We face global competition and we have to benchmark ourselves against the whole of the world. That is a big challenge – for government as well as the private sector. That is why I have the job I have – trying to ensure there is consistency between what’s required by our agreement with the EU, by our FTAs with other countries, and by the programme of domestic reforms that our new freedoms make possible.
What Brexit means for the future is dependent on whether we can seize these opportunities. Whether we can liberalise, free up, create competition on our own market, create the conditions for innovation and productivity growth.
So I can’t share the views of those who think we can treat the private sector as just a convenient way of keeping the public sector running. It isn’t just a source of taxes.
Nor is it a bunch of people who will inevitably do bad things unless the Government keeps a very close eye on them.
We can’t carry on as we were before and if after Brexit all we do is import the European social model we will not succeed. We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the European Union from Britain with Brexit, only to import that European model after all this time.
So we need to reform fast, and those reforms are going to involve doing things differently from the EU. If we stick to EU models, but behind our own tariff wall and with a smaller market, we obviously won’t succeed.
It is all too easy to get captured by the interest groups and the lobbies. We don’t have time for that. The world is not standing still. No-one owes us a living. Earning one is now fully in our own hands. The formula for success as a country is well known.
Low taxes – I agree with the Chancellor, as he said in his Budget speech, our goal must be to reduce taxes.
Light-touch and proportionate regulation, whatever our policy objectives. Free trade – of course – simultaneously increasing consumer choice while reducing consumer costs. Ensuring competition stops complacency – keeping our economy fit and responsive to innovation and progress abroad.
And personal freedom and responsibility. Unavoidably, we have had a lot of state direction and control during the pandemic. That cannot and must not last for ever, and I am glad that it is not. I am very happy that free Britain, or at least merry England, is probably now the free-est country in the world as regards covid restrictions.
No mask rules, no vaccine passports – and long may it remain so.

It is rumoured that Bojo became impatient, Thatcher-style, with Lord Frost standing up to the EU negotiators as yet another Brexit deadline approached at the end of 2019 and took over negotiations himself. When Lord Frost was holding the EU’s feet to the fire, with an approaching deadline, the PM then made a hash of the N. Ireland situation by giving in on some key issues ‘just to get things done’.
Is it true? Can anyone confirm this?
Could be another reason why Lord Frost has quit.

The blob grinds down the rebels. Frost was lost to the blob. NI is the foot in the door for the EU. If we don’t make a stand, in time we will be back in the EU, but in a kinder gentler way 😉
Actual lol.
What a rubbish tree!
The tv seems massive.
Lord Frost leaves the Government…
This needs to be serious wake up call for Boris Johnson.
Lord Frost holds true Conservative values and his resignation just shows how far Boris Johnson has moved to the centre left..
Perhaps it is time Boris left, never thought I would think that

Another good reason to get rid of the idiots in our government and Home Office that have done zilch about this invasion since they came to power .
I can assure you Tory supporters, that there will be “lessons to be learned” perhaps not by you but your children .
And the BBC report it as we are making it too hard for them to come and putting them at risk.
“You will take as many illegal immigrants as we demand and make sure they live in absolute comfort!” seems to be the general direction.
You watch …

Good luck with that one as hundreds land unhindered on our shores on a daily basis.
Just checked the article but I knew already : no mention whatsoever about the motivation and reason for the attack.
I wonder if the main thrust of the ‘counter terrorism’ course was ‘throw away any journalistic ethics and responsibility to reporting the truth in case you upset them’ like the one the BBC give their reporters clearly is.
Curious to note that last two Christmas cards came in envelopes with code strips alongside.
Apparently called Datamatrix and in the UK will identify individual stamps.

THE BIGGEST PEADOPHILIC SEXUAL ABUSE AND RACIST RAPE SCANDAL THE UK HAS EVER SEEN
THOUSANDS OF CHILD VICTIMS as yound as 12, trafficked, gang raped, beaten, tortured and racially abused by gangs of PAKI men.
racially motivated, planned and organised, including child trafficking for profit, STILL going on and IGNORED by the twisted bbc.
ONE person who stood up and spoke publicly about it VILIFIED by the bbc and msm, and hounded by the bbc and police and dragged into court over and over again on various charges including “mortgage fraud”.
And they whine on and on about women’s safety, racism and slavery
But ONLY if there are white males to attack as perpetrators
Sick in the extreme. AND commented on around the world.
In my view, If there is ONE thing that should make any normal persons ” blood boil” about the bbc especially, and the rest of the msm and government it is the above
And one reason why I ignore their talk of racism
While the above continues I do not bloody care in the slightest about their claims of slavery, womens safety or racism AT ALL
(which amounts to someone saying a stupid word they all use themselves anyway, and for which a woman was jailed for using last week)
Sharna Walker was not jailed for JUST saying a word
In the video she shouts at the guy reaches over to slam the door
and then walks away pausing to spit in his direction.
Looks like that was classes as assault.
“pleading guilty to racially aggravated assault and causing damage to the glass in the door.”
“The other charges were dropped.”
“She was sentenced to 14 weeks in jail and is said to have burst into tears as the handcuffs are placed on her wrists.”
To me her accent is strange as if she if she were east European.

PETER HITCHENS: A return for Tony Blair? That really is my nightmare before Christmas…A nightmare haunts my dreams, that the Blair Creature will return to rule us again. I very much fear that the country and the Labour Party will soon be ready for this moment.
“think about it. Millions of people clearly want to be ruled by some sort of populist strongman who bosses them around for their own good.
Covid, which seems to have become a permanent fixture rather than a passing disease, provides a perpetual excuse for such a government.
Why? Because they can see that we have entered a new stage of the revolution which has been transforming this country, for the past 60 years, into a multicultural, Green, post-Christian, sexually liberated and egalitarian state in which only one opinion is, in reality, allowed.
Covid, quite unexpectedly, has provided the pretext for so much of what they have long wanted, surveillance, social control, the driving of dissent to the margins of life.
For, if dissent can be portrayed as actually dangerous to the health of the people, then why should the people put up with it?”

Zephir – I think Blair came back long ago – just with a mad hair style gimmick ….
I wonder why Lord Frost walked now ? Was it because he realised he was working for an amoral mad green socialist and her husband ?
Maybe people of the Right are finally waking up and realising the current gang is no where being a Party of the Right …and starting to prepare for permanent opposition because the next l]socialist government will fix the election process …

Coercive measures-Johnson has already been bulldozed into doing the bidding of those that control government inc SAGE who have no more understanding of what they are spowting. Most of my family have had a dose of Covid19 nasty but they with healthy immune systems recovered within a week, their Covid was not because of any testing therefore they were not added to the case figures that keep being forced at us by the BBC night after night. Are we to accept that the rise in cases comes through people having tested positive? But with PCR being such a suspect test can we really accept the numbers thrown out?
The utterley useless BBC Radio 4 Extra ought to be broadcasting D for Dexter, Omnibus Edition, Episode 2 at this moment, however they are dishing up Episode 1, the same as they put out last Sunday.
What with continuity announcers that give away plot lines, trailers that repeat over and over 50% of some programmes it is high time the BBC’s licence to run this channel was taken away from them, along with the BBC archive.
Perhaps then we can hear what is actually ‘written on the tin’ and also do away with all the patronising ‘language and attitudes of the time’ warnings.
Not to worry, look what there is to look forward to!

To be honest I thought that the brilliant professional Johannes
showed up his partner . Who at times looked liked he was
prancing around.
The scoring has become silly of late. With tens being handed out
like confetti . Even Craig Revel Horwood has become intimidated
by the booing of the supporters and sycophants when he gives
a nine .As for the other judges they might of well had robots
to take their places to just hand out the tens.
What is ‘ strictly’?
Fedup2- It is dance competition which is pushing out
the boundaries of our new society. Of course this is
a good thing. I hope that we will able to see a lesbian
mixed race duet in the next competition. Or better
still a transgender couple. However I am surprised that
the BBC let just a deaf young lady win. Even though
she was far the best “celebrity” dancer. There were far more
diverse candidates.
Smug, in 1,000 words or less.
Listening to Labours Wes Streeting ( shadow health) on Sky News at the moment.
FFS, God help us if Labour get into power.. Clueless..!!!
He struggles to put a coherent sentence together, delusional.
Now I understand why the Labour party can only make any form of political gain by introducing sleaze alone.
Unbelievable
I watched it too, reluctantly, faute de mieux.
As I watched him/her smirking, I thought he/she is the male equivalent of the abominable Angie…gobby, smirking, sneering and completely vacuous. Just kept on about BoJo’s untrustworthiness.
Much of the country broke one lockdown recommendation/law or another at one time over the past two years and BoJo, like most politicians, is an accomplished liar. Much more serious, and rarely thrust at Labour/LibDums is their total disregard for the democratic process as shown by their refusal to accept the Brexit vote. Much more serious, imho.
Peter Grimes…
I remember Steven Kinnock driving nearly 400 miles from London to South Wales during lock down to take his dad a cake for his birthday, hardly a mention and at the same time as Cummings
Female Labour MP having an affair and breaking lock down rules 6 times so she could get her leg over, hardly a mention.
Labour MP caught at a wedding with 70 guest during lock down, hardly a mention…
I could go on and on…
Les Streeting sat there so f–king smug, jaw dropping hypocrisy as usual.
And what about Starmer having a beer with his colleagues after canvassing, no mention on BBC…
I thought the morning after the referendum in 2016 that we may have won a battle but not the war. The refusal of the Remainers to accept the result has not surprised me . Nor have their illegal anti democratic tactics.
What has surprised me has been the complete powerlessness of our allegedly pro Brexit government to combat the Remainers, to remove them from power, to force through the Post Brexit sovereign agenda. There can be only one of two reasons for this lack of progress , either the government is secretly remain or the real power in this country lies not with the government , nor with the people who elect it , but with the civil servants who are of course virulently pro remain.
One way or another I suspect that within five years we will back in the EU.
Brexit was never going to be more than a half hearted BRINO and I am surprised that we have ‘left’ at all. When Labour win the next election they will take us straight back in, never mind the referendum result. If they are forced to give the people a vote you can bet your life they’ll fix it. If the POTUS can be rigged, membership of the EU will be a doddle.
The Mail on Sunday is touting Jeremy Hunt as the next leader if Boris is prised out. If he becomes the next PM it will be days or hours into the start of his premiership before we are back in the EU,
Meanwhile Boris will have a lucrative post in the Gates Foundation and will be earning enough to pay for his kids private education.

So what is the Radio4 charity appeal this week ?
9am R4 Broadcasting house
Their Covid expert was full of “if” “could” “doubling” etc.
“8,000 hospital cases/day” (I really doubt it’ll be that high, admissions have been less than 900/day for quite a while)
It was all the usual London Guardianland bubbleworld
“Oh I was walking past the Channel 4 building the other day”
(A thing 99% of us don’t do)
Then the panel were united in their opinion that museum artefacts should be returned
like the Elgin Marbles
“With modern tech we could have cloned ones”
… Yes With modern tech Greece could have cloned ones.
Oh dear. If it turns into anything, expect more than ShadCab doing a runner or Lordly Lethal Mowing down.
Why did a drunk/drugs driving MP crashing his car into a lampost, take 3 weeks to appear after it happened ?
So really, it’s Vile’s fault in the holding to account stakes.
BBC story of interest https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59658486 “Omicron: Will tougher measures stop the spread of Omicron?”
They give us this analysis saying that the modelling shows us a best and worse case scenario. It says ‘The best would see admissions peak at just over half the level of last winter, the worst would see admissions edge towards double.’
So it’s basically doom and gloom again and that restrictions might be needed again to stop the rising deaths. BUT WAIT the article actually concedes that all this scientific modelling is based on Omicron being as dangerous as delta!
That’s right this modelling is based on the old delta NOT Omicron. Wonder why the scientists have done this? According to all the scientists in South Africa Omicron is milder and far fewer go into hospital and don’t need oxygen. Even sleepy Joe isn’t going on about how dangerous Omicron is or many other countries. It seems just Europe is bothered about Omicron no other countries.
So BBC thanks for your scare story again and showing us how bad the modelling shows it ‘could’ be. When you should be asking these sage control freaks why their modelling is based on Delta and not the south African data on Omicron considering its Omicron and not delta that is spreading around. Unnecessary scare tactics by the government which the BBC are quite happy to publish. Defund the BBC

“our teams” “embedded” “helping”
Tony Blair one of the most evil people in existence. Why would anyone listen to him. Oh yeah the BBC quite like him, then again they liked Saville until that all got exposed. Basically the best option is to do the opposite of what Blair says then we know we doing the right thing.
From what Prof Medley says, it’s unclear that the most-likely scenario is even being presented to ministers this time around. So how are they supposed to make good decisions? I highly doubt that Sajid Javid is only asking to churn out models that make the case for lockdown. That instruction, if it is being issued, will have come from somewhere else.
Is there an email address for this “modelling comittee” ?
I have issues with my Airfix 1:72 scale Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.I Triplanes and could do with some advice.
I contacted a climate modelling committee but they did not answer.
Their arrogance is astounding, if they are so bloody good, how come they cannot answer a simple question about First World War aircraft camouflage ?
Baron Von Richtofen is probably turning in his grave. And Biggles and Ginger.
Zephir – perhaps you should present yourself as a 16 year old nymphette
Interested in modelling and do they know how to start ? Subject to a visit from the plod ‘ online squad’ of course .
As for the 1:72s – why not just get the Red barons ‘ aircraft – you only need one colour for that – but not sure if gloss or matt ..
I could risk your first suggestion but am worried about ending up tied to a curry stained bed above a kebab shop, ignored by the police, social workers and the bbc.
As for the Red Baron, might be the way forward if SAGE cannot help:
At the time of his death he had downed 80 planes in all. He was the leading air ace of WW-I followed by René Fonck of France with 75 confirmed kills and Billy Bishop of Canada with 72. Both Fonck and Bishop lived on long after the war, each dying in the 1950s.
Von Richthofen met his end on 21 April 1918 in somewhat unusual circumstances. While pursuing a Canadian pilot with little experience and at a very low altitude (Lieutenant Wilfrid May) he was chased away by a seasoned Canadian pilot (Captain Arthur Brown) who dived steeply and fired at him before climbing to avoid crashing into the ground. The Baron resumed his pursuit of May but shortly, facing concentrated fire from Australian troops on the ground, he made a rough landing in a field near The Somme River. The soldiers, who had fired on his plane from the ground, got to his wrecked red Fokker triplane quickly and may or may not have heard his last words which, allegedly, included the word kaput.
Kaput indeed.
I have it on very good authority that SAGE make their predictions using a special dice developed at Imperial College. Unlike normal dice, which have six sides, this one is an icosahedron, meaning it has 20 sides. The lowest number on it is 100, then each subsequent face doubles i.e. 200, 400, 800, 1600 and so on, up to 52,428,800 on the 20th face. To make a prediction about how many people will become infected, ill, hospitalised or perish, the dice simply has to be rolled. If the number is too low, it can be rolled again until a higher number is obtained. However, to ensure scientific accuracy, the dice has been weighted so that it always gives a high number (a test unit with just six sides was 100% consistent at always giving a 6 when playing snakes and ladders or monopoly). Experts are astonished by the magical device and variants are being used in Climate Change forecasts, government commercial negotiations with Pfizer, and by the BBC to determine how many black actors should appear in their programmes.

Quidditch will select a new name for the Harry Potter-inspired sport in order to ‘distance’ themselves from JK Rowling and her transgender views
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10324923/Quidditch-leagues-select-new-sport-response-JK-Rowlings-transgender-views.html
Yes but as I keep telling people who cannot be told anything, this has nothing to do with trans at all.
I’ll go through it all again for those who don’t know.
Post war the Frankfurt school of Marxism was formed, it ran for quite some time in Germany, until their antics got them kicked out and they moved to universities in the USA.
It was a collsally stupid move by the americans allowing them employment in universities especially at the height of the cold war, but as we have seen, the USA is a collosally stupid country.
Trans theory came from one of these old members of the Frankfurt school and unlike what it says on the tin in reality it has little if anything to do with trans at all. It is designed to drive a wedge into society splitting those who accept its principles and those who do not.
But think about it for a moment, the argument it totally futile. It’s as valid as the number of flies on a dogs turd, angels dancing on the head of a pin.
What does it matter if a trans person is a ‘real’ woman? How will your life be improved by having the question settled? The answer is it won’t make one scintilla of difference to you nor to anyone else, but by engaging with Communism you play right into their hands.
Knowing this now perhaps next time you have a chance to comment on this on a different forum you will answer it not in the way the Communists want you to, but exposing the sheer nullity of the question itself and refusing to be drawn on it.
This is the way to beat the Commies.
With the slight caveat that it was created pre-war, moving to Switzerland in 1933 after Hitler gained power, before settling in the US in 1935 (many of the leading members were both Communist and Jewish, which wasn’t a healthy combination in Nazi Germany).

Meanwhile 110% of BBC staff said…
There’s also a post that will not go down well with Huw’s Mum.
In the words of desperate BBC tweeting producers… do visit.
The tone deaf Times we live in
‘Covid-19 patients to be treated at home. Thousands of Covid-19 patients will be treated in their own homes in an expansion of “virtual wards” to help the health service cope…‘ (Sunday Times) – so, let me get this straight… people with winter flu who have to take a Lemsip or two and put themselves to bed for a day or two, can now somehow be counted by the NHS as some sort of hospital admissions?
How serious is this omicron surge? Has all NHS staff holiday leave been cancelled to deal with it, we wonder? That would signify a real crisis… a national emergency… Nope, thought not.
Coronavirus staff guidance University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust Last updated: 28 October 2021 at 12:47: ‘Please note that the option to sell annual leave is no longer available if you have not already submitted your request, as the deadline for making requests was Sunday 28 March 2021.’ So if you can’t sell back your leave you have to take your leave.
Christians are leaving the Holy Land.
‘Christians “at risk” in Holy Land‘ (Times) – a seasonal passing interest in matters Christian… but do be careful now… mentioning certain religions by name is bit dangerous ‘In 2019 Christians mad up less than 2 per cent of the population of the Holy Land…‘ – excuse me, but Holy Land is not a state. I certainly don’t recall tham at the Olympics. Apparently the Times is quoting our Archbishop of Canterbury who refers, somewhat anachronistically, to ‘Israel and Palestine‘ as an entity in his own two-state imagination. The Christian population we hear is: ‘...down from 10 per cent in 1922‘ – gosh, Mr Welby, that’s not a very diverse trajectory like what Britain is on… no wonder you are raising the alarm.
Come to think of it that dimunition – of at least the proportion of our Christian population – is exactly the trajectory the UK is on under Mr Welby’s church managment.
The Sunday Times catches the mood of the times – stealth lockdown – with their feature: ‘Your ultimate guide to staying in‘
It’s not that we are now so pussy-whipped by our masters that we lock ourselves down at mere mention of a varient – it’s just that we’d prefer not to commute this week when there’s all the shopping to do. Because I’ve not heard of any shopping centres closing down – due to the pandemic, Omicron tsumami, new varient tidal wave, etc.
‘Why can’t a Spaniard play a Cuban, asks West Wing creator‘ (Times) – no, this isn’t the set up line to a lame gag… because the Twitter Social Justice Warrior set won’t “Havana…” that racism.
This is where we are now: ‘The screenwriter… was criticised in some quarters for casting Javier Bardem, the Oscar-winning Spaniard, as a Cuban in his new film‘ – blimey, it’s like Jim Crow was back in town.
The culture does seem to be inordinately fixated on identity and our immutable characteristics – referring to BBC Strictly come prancing minor celebs show winner, who happens to be a deaf actress off East Enders, we are told: ‘She is the first deaf contestant to win the show and has become an inspiration for people with hearing disabilities‘ (Times) – I hope they were all listening… watching… our failing BBC?
The NHS are lying to the Country, and it’s political.
