Some of the findings of the report, produced by the Civitas think tank, are jaw-dropping. To take one example, China’s main nuclear inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) conglomerate was given a centre at Manchester University where some research was subsidised by the UK taxpayer.

TOADY Watch #2 – blackmail is an ugly word, so let us call it fishpaste instead
Very interesting prime slot interview with Sir Jeremy Farrar (ex-SAGE) at 8.10 a.m. in which he appeared, to me, to stray from the purely medical and scientific into the geo-political so beloved of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and, I guess, John Major. He seemed to me to be saying: “Unless we in the UK pay to have Africa and the rest of the world vaccinated, we risk going through exactly the same situation with different virus mutations arising in the rest of the world to inflict us in the UK every year.”
It was also interesting that Jeremy Farrar stated that the so-called ‘vaccines’ (actually human immune system boosters) wear off after between four to six months. In other words, they have very limited usefulness and are a means to make money for Big Pharma. Unfortunately Martha did not think to ask why a true vaccine for Covid has not yet been developed.
Vaccines in Phase 3 Clinical Trials

True vaccines, MM, or mRNA immune system boosters?
Bastardised hybrids. They’ll be just as ineffectual as the first ones, thus leading to others, ad infinitum.
OG, I’ll look at the link hopefully when I have more time. Joyeux Noel to you in France. May it be happy and healthy for you.
Thanks, Up. Same to you. Healthwise it’s looking OK, so far, but otherwise…
I am not sure where I read this but NZ ‘volunteered’ to be an extreme test case in the pandemic, long before the pandemic ‘was released’ and let us not forget that it was ‘mad made’ was hidden and blamed on Chinese ‘bats’.
NZ is about as bad as it gets, but Austria was also a ‘volunteer’ in the pandemic experiment. They are starting to fine teenagers who refuse the fix. The side affects are not well known but can be terminal for some kids.
We can expect the same in the UK, even though it is illegal to perform medical experiments on children, since the last war atrocities, they are being coerced’ by peer pressure in schools to ‘comply’ in a procedure that will harm them later in life.
There is no protection, they are already immune from viruses, and colds are usually short lasting. The EU will go the same way, its the pilot project for the EU.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10297391/Austrians-aged-14-refuse-Covid-vaccines-fined-1-000-month.html
It is fair to say that Boris didn’t plan to replace EU membership with a medical police state. But then, when Edward III defeated a larger French fleet to secure control of the English Channel in 1340, he cannot have known that the Black Death was already surging out of Asia along the Silk Road.
https://thecritic.co.uk/covid-is-a-symptom-of-the-age-of-china/
Research since 2010 suggests that the bacterium that caused the Black Death also evolved in China: contemporary Chinese records include Hubei as the origin of that outbreak, much of whose population had been uprooted by the Mongol Conquest.
Rats were common in the ships and harbours (and probably city and rural homes as well) of the period, MM. International trade has been happening since humans were kicked out of Eden. For example, Genesis 37 verse 28 gives an example of ‘a deal’ going down. Then there’s the post-Christmas story [ but all part of Christmas 😉 ] that shows travel from the East is not new thing.
You also need to remember that bacteria are somewhat different to viruses, esp. in behaviour and treatment.
I saw something that I thought was quite extraordinary on Saturday evening…
I’d attended the anti lockdown demo in central London and on my slow homeward meander crossed Westminster Bridge.
Do you remember the three card trick? Or its near cousin, that trick they did with three metal cups? I think it was called Find the Lady, or something similar…
Westminster Bridge was full of swarthy and dangerous looking shysters performing this con and rooking the gullible of their dosh. Every few yards there was another of them. I was astonished.
My camera accompanies me everywhere and I attempted to photograph these criminals, but was warned off by a couple of their burly henchmen. “No photographs” the brutes snarled at me.
I remember when I was a teenager seeing similar con tricks when my mates and I used to wander through the lanes of Soho. In those days it was an area notorious for vice and criminality, so obviously we were fascinated by it. These old conmen would usually have a pitch on a corner with a well placed lookout and at the first sign of a policeman they’d be off. They weren’t keen on their pictures being taken either…
However, back to the present day…This lot are ripping people off a hundred yards from Westminster Palace, where there are more law makers than you can throw a stick at and more coppers per capita than anywhere else in Blighty. WTF is going on?
It’s absolutely flagrant.
I’m betting most of them are just off the “Dover Ferry”…
Jeff, they used to be in Oxford Street back when the Metropolitan Police did some actual policing and they didn’t half scarper fast when a solo Officer on foot patrol came by. All added to the general entertainment.
Just out of interest, were you part of the crowd who went into Whitehall and up to the end of Downing Streeet? Was the demo generally peaceful until then? Was it peaceful throughout? I have questions about the ‘narrative’ pushed by the Daily Telegraph of all papers on Monday.
Yes, it was peaceful, but noisy if you follow me…
And yes again, I was outside Downing Street where quite a number congregated, but absolutely nothing “kicked off”. I thought it was actually a very amenable group considering how many different types of people were there. Every demographic was covered. Jon Snow would have felt at home…
Some bloke had red and blue coloured smoke bombs and very effective they were too, but these were just distractions and not thrown at the police. I photographed everything. No violence (that I witnessed) whatsoever, but plenty of chanting.
And the proof of the pudding being…
No arrests.
Jeff, thanks. I thought that the DT photo was just a little suspicious, well, actually more than just a little, it was very suspicious. I wonder if Kathy Gyngell from TCW Defending Freedom was there and wrote about it? Just had a look. Nothing today.
This has been like this for a decade or so. I am surprised you left London with your camera intact. Loads of Romanian pickpockets and beggars everywhere, often in cheap leather jackets.
My pals and I always travel up on the Saturday before remembrance every year to the service at the Abbey and have a pub crawl. We leave all mobile devices and ATM cards at home and try not to look like gullible tourists who think London is like all those depictions in 1950s Hollywood. They often wheel out those mobile hot dog/burger/roast chestnut units after dark whilst the police are nowhere to be seen. Around 4.00 you have to start to sidestep hundreds sleeping outside the shops.
I usually head back over Waterloo, via a couple of hostelries in Covent Garden, so this was a bit of a shock. I’ve not walked across Westminster Bridge for a while. It’s just so blatant.
We’re living in an age where parliament and the police will tell the native population where we can go, who we can meet and what we must wear, but these foreign criminals are committing crimes under the very nose of the establishment and they’re not blinking an eye.
WTF is going on?
I wonder if there’s a Tucker Carlson dartboard in the CNN executive suite? Do they have an “anger room” and – if so – what’s in it? 🙂
Across the news bulletins and weekend front pages, Savile was being given a sendoff fitting for someone who had achieved national treasure status. As BBC Radio 1 DJ, and co-presenter of the BBC’s flagship music programme Top of the Pops, Savile became a personality in the pop music scene in the 60s and 70s; his oddness and mannerisms enhanced his celebrity. As the host of the long-running Saturday evening TV show Jim’ll Fix It, he played godfather, granting the wishes to children who wrote in. On the Monday after his death, during the news editors’ 9.15 morning meeting at BBC headquarters in west London, those present were asked to take coverage of Savile’s funeral seriously. The concern was that the news editors might sneer at Savile; they were reminded that, to much of the audience, Savile was a northern hero. He had started out working in the mines, going on to earn a knighthood and befriend royalty through his television shows and charity work.

Another Question:
If we didn’t overwhelm the hospitals last year when 100% of the populace were unvaccinated, why will that happen when according to govt figures, 90% of the country is vaccinated?
In a hospital with 100 nurses, some of them got pinged last year when Covid was about, so had to isolate.
If there were higher but weaker cases this year, even more nurses would get pinged
and if the rule still is that they have to isolate even if they’ve already had covid
the NHS could end up short of staff.
One in four nurses are obese, warn experts: Stress and long hours associated with the job are blamed. One in four of the nation’s nurses is obese, a new study suggests. With almost half of English nurses over the age of 45, this ‘poses a likely future burden of ill health for the healthcare workforce’, researchers said …4 Dec 2017
NHS nurses probably get fat
as a defence mechanism against NHS gropey male doctors etc.
Two suggestions, either…
1. The vaccine is pointless and merely a propaganda tool.
or
2. We are being lied to by WHO, SAGE and The NHS.
Another ‘ratchet’:
Many years ago I replaced the roof of my shed. The council waste people wouldn’t touch it as it was ‘asbestos’, it cost me £30 to take it to a specialist tip.
A neighbour’s ‘boy friend’ a few years later climbed on her identical looking shed roof and it broke. Despite my many calls to her landlord and the council nothing was done about it because now it was ‘cement board’ and although all over the garden wasn’t a hazard.
Ten years ago the neighbouring house gets refurbished before getting a new tennant. The shed roof get replaced, boards being cut, no special precautions, must be ‘cement board’.
Today, for some reason, a suited up team turn up and remove and wrap the undamaged boards. A specialist waste service arrives to collect the boards, presumably now elevated to ‘asbestos’ even though that material was probably not being supplied when they were first fitted.
No doubt a council building control officer will turn up shortly to take soil samples?
Meanwhile in Africa, Asia and South America young children are playing and living with this stuff.
asbestosis is not that common.
I was talking to a rigger who spent years working with it, he’s 86 and is OK
His wife who worked in the school canteen, and wasn’t a smoker has COPD … that lung thing.
My golf chum’s mother died of Mesothelioma in her 60’s. Her husband worked as a lagger in the shipyard. He lived to 89. She washed his overalls…

Odd, isn’t it, that the statistics, data and opinions of those we are regularly assured are eminent scientists, can be mulled over, discussed and queried when the economy in general and ‘hospitality’ in particular are concerned.
And yet the opinions and infinitely variable data of similarly well-publicised and eminent scientists is regarded as sacrosanct where ‘climate change’ is concerned. Perhaps Roger could explain?

Not so many people take BBC radio progs seriously these days
so the Twitter discussions have really dropped off.
However that leaves many fetid tweets from anti-Tories
saying ‘how dare the BBC air a Tory like IFS or Fraser Nelson! ‘ etc.
Here BBC Radio Scotland’s Gary Robertson invited Fraser Nelson on
and quoted clearly ridiculous worst case modelling he was arguing against
yet most replies were from angry anti-Tories calling Fraser so crazy he needs to be banned.
Or listen to them?
Frankly after industry colleagues, sycophants and critics mocking are removed, I doubt anyone does.

At the end of 1952, the situation started to change, and newspapers published articles criticizing Lysenkoism. However, the process of return to regular genetics slowed down in Nikita Khrushchev’s time, when Lysenko showed him the supposed successes of an experimental agricultural complex. It was once again forbidden to criticize Lysenkoism, though it was now possible to express different views, and the geneticists imprisoned under Stalin were released or rehabilitated posthumously. The ban was finally waived in the mid-1960s.[27][28] In the West, meanwhile, Lysenkoism increasingly became seen as pseudoscience.[29]

TOADY Watch #3 – the BBC mindset says Jews cannot be Christians
It was rather revealing that the BBC belatedly took up the cry of Archbishop Welby this morning and in so doing revealed a little bit more of their twisted minds and ideology. According to the BBC it is only Palestinian Christians who are under attack in Israel. Not so. There are Jews who are Christians as well. They may not necessarily refer to themselves as such, there are various sensitivities around the label ‘Christian’ since the 1930s and especially since WW2.
They may worship in churches that are called Messianic churches. They may well have mixed race congregations; Israeli Christians, Palestinian Christians, African Christians and Russian Christians of a Jewish origin together with Christians of other races, all worshipping God together. As they tend to be evangelical these fellowships also find they are attacked by some extreme Orthodox groups, especially if they rescue men and families from Yeshivas.
The real truth is that Christians are under attack not just in Israel but throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, in some States in India, in Pakistan, and especially so in China and Hong Kong. The BBC wouldn’t want to mention that.
I wonder why?
There are currently no official churches in Saudi Arabia and the thousands of Maronite families who work there have to live “either as a neutral person or as a Muslim”, one Lebanese Catholic, Danny Nasrallah, told the New York Times. “You have to pray in your heart when you want to pray,” he said.16 Nov 2017

BBC 1 pm news.
Covid news from Wales.
There are new restrictions and omicron cases currently 600 could rise to 1000 by Boxing Day.
Now I’m no Mathematician but that does not sound like ‘doubling every 2 days’ . It appears to be a quarter of that.
Needless to say, the totally useless biased BBC did not, or chose not to notice this glaring discrepancy.
What is a “case”?
I see they have managed to identify a woman and her children from the migrant boat sinking tragedy – so the BBC are going full out with their story. The majority – who will be men – have no PR value so the BBC will not care about those.
What bothers me about these totally lopsided far-left propaganda pieces is that they never address the realities of what happened. It’s always laying it on thick to pull your heartstrings and think nothing was their fault. They were just innocent victims. The fact that everything they were doing was illegal and they knew it seems to be irrelevant.
The point is that France was perfectly safe and nobody forced them onto those boats. They did it because when they get here, they know the English taxpayers will pay for them to live.
The big problem is that they are bringing with them the same culture which has kept their own country living in the stone age for all the centuries while our ancestors were building our way of life as it is today.
Just how many would the Left allow in if they could ?. All of them ?. Or just the ones they see in the news and feel sorry for ?. They are too stupid to appreciate these small events are just part of a bigger picture.
The point I realised we were f*cked was when that picture of the small Syrian boy who drowned in the mediterranian went viral and was the justification for everything we see now. All of a sudden the Left made it OUR fault.
Some of us may know that Lord Frost resigned on principle (or knowledge) of future lock-down plans. His replacement means not much although she may replace Boris Johnson if and when he decides to go next March. Next ‘March’, I hear is some sort of point where either we collapse into Europe or fight our own way out. Europe is not a good place to be just now, only a bunch of idiots would think that remaining ‘is the best option’ – although it may upset those with two homes, the fact is that travel cost and quarantine and ID passports are the new ‘norm’ of EU for a long time to come.
That and the ‘EIGHT-FOLD’ cost of heating sweeping Europe and the fact that we (UK) are and can be independent on Gas supplies, Coal and (via Qatar) oil on demand. At least if and when the crunch comes. It will flatten the green lobby.
None of this EU dilemma is on BBC news (any channel), so half the (wet liberal) population THINK its somehow better across the Channel.
Its all a lot worse think 1920’s pre-war situation developing….

DT Energy update worth reading on dire EU energy policy!
The Kremlin calculus is by now obvious: Europe has manoeuvred itself into such a vulnerable position on energy security that it will have to accept Russia’s core demands, essentially the Finlandisation of Ukraine and certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline – on Mr Putin’s monopolistic terms, and in breach of EU energy law and the Treaties.
http://m.email3.telegraph.co.uk/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=%40ZLu%2Feb4eEsWmX8Hx4zSHMOfTOawRqwtdOpdrjEdXo8c%3D&WT.mc_id=e_DM1535756&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Edi_EIn_New&utmsource=email&utm_medium=Edi_EIn_New20211221&utm_campaign=DM1535756
Marky – the warnings about UK energy supply should have been loud enough for a decent government to be taking urgent steps to do stuff such as ensuring there are enough power stations of any description to keep the lights on – as well as enough gas storage to bide us over a winter .
But as a lay person I fear neither of the above are anywhere near . We must be in a position to stick the digit up at mainland Europe when Putin turns the juice off…
You are right, Fed. At least it is said by HMG now that they are going to back Rolls Royce to make some mini-nuclear power stations. Hopefully someone in HMG is busy identifying sites and sorting out the planning applications. If not, we will need a few spare submarines to park in the Thames, Humber, Solent and Bristol Channel.
BBC London reporting a court hearing about the attempted murder of ‘black activist’ Sacha Johnson. This BLM advocate is still languishing in hospital apparently, months after being shot in the head. Diabolical.
Those accused were described on the tv news as ‘four men’. Only by drilling down into the London region online report do we see drawings from the court appearance. They seem to have ‘darker skin tones’. Mmmm.
Perish the thought that the BBC would have to fess up and announce their ethnicity. Just imagine if a BLM activist was attacked not by evil whities, but by her own kind. What would that do to the narrative?

Ofcom Complaint About Collaboration Between Sky and Government-Owned Company to Promote ‘Net Zero’.
Laura (I think) I have seen on GB News before and talks sense. At least she has a dig at Sky which has gone Woke Left and is just about as trustworthy as the BBC.
‘Laura Dodsworth and I have filed a complaint with Ofcom about a report issued by the Behavioural Insights Team and Sky urging broadcasters to use sophisticated psychological techniques derived from behavioural science to persuade people to support the Government’s ‘Net Zero’ agenda…’
You can read about it here:
Of course THERE IS NO POINT complaining to OfCom (about the BBC) because you see all complaints are simply ignored and denied. Ofcom complaints are simply put on a spike until it hits the PRESS, where they make a ‘one-line’ statement outlining BBC ‘impartiality’ and BBC ‘world class’ loved by the British people etc. etc. And that’s it, not denial that the BBC does the same as Sky.

What are nudges?
Nudges mean thinking harder about the way people approach decisions and using those insights to design policy. In 2010, the Institute for Government set out some of those approaches in its MINDSPACE report, which suggests that both the messenger and the message were important and that defaults mattered. It remains the Institute’s most downloaded report.
The approach depends a lot on experimentation, and the Nudge Unit has championed wider use of experiments in government.
What has the Nudge Unit worked on before coronavirus?
The Nudge Unit has worked on a wide range of policy areas (detailed on its website) – but early examples included work on prompting people to pay their tax on time, turn up in court, work with Jobcentres to improve outcomes and increasing organ donation.
But the biggest application of ‘nudge’ in UK policy predates the creation of the unit: the introduction of the default in automatic enrolment for pensions – 10 million people are now enrolled in pensions as a result.
What is the Nudge Unit doing on coronavirus?
The Nudge Unit is working closely with the Department of Health and Social Care in crafting the government response. The most visible manifestation of its influence to date is in the communication around hand-washing and face touching – in particular the use of “disgust” as an incentive to wash hands and the suggestion of singing Happy Birthday to ensure hands are washed for the requisite 20 seconds.

I understand that GB News is underwritten by a Gulf State.

It seems the government has upset the feminazis over some crazed report allowing people to declare their gender for a gender recognition certificate.
Of course the media are completely misrepresenting what this means to the point of blatantly lying about it. What it does mean is that instead of a panel of faceless idiots checking the corresct boxes have been ticked (yes that is what happens now) someone wanting to change gender will have to appear before a judge make a declaration along with several other requirements and may face questioning about what they are doing.
The lying media are giving the impression that someone on Monday can be Arthur, and the following day be Martha, and then on Wednesday revert back to being Arthur again.
However as might be expect some feminazi professor of extreme leftist idiocy has moaned – how predicatable, but it puts me in mind of how many years these grotesque women fought to destroy same sex spaces when they weren’t allowed in, such as golf clubs, working mens clubs sports clubs etc etc, now when their policies are visited on them they howling about ‘safety’ despite there being no evidence of any threat to their safety.
Just more effects of the lying media whipping up paranoia among people who welcome that kind of thing.
Just read the miller v college of policing judgement on ‘non crime hate incidents ‘ plod has been so eagerly recording ….
This case is the ‘I’ve got to check your thinking ‘ a PC Gul of humberside plod used when ringing to warn mr miller to mind what he writes on twitter.
I reckon the House of Lords will look at it – but it says a lot about the state of our country – depending on the ECHR to challenge plod recording unfounded and sometime irrational ‘non crime incidents ‘ for ‘public safefty ‘ in some sinister database where they can be used if the police want to target you .
You will have no notification of the existence of the report or who made it or why ….. indeed the COA refers to a tweet made and recorded by plod which was ‘non hate ‘ and ‘non crime ‘…. So what the hell is plod doing collecting such information on its ‘ potential law abiding victims ?
The wokes in plod will redraft the guidance on ‘non crime hate incidents to get round any judgement – or else get the home office to put legislation through the nodding dog parliament to suppress free speech in furtherance of ‘public safety ‘….
Some of the incidents they have recorded defy belief. An elderly woman in a queue for a petrol pump sounded her horn at the car in front which was taking too long (must have been an amazing long time for a pensioner to act!) which was clearlyy a race hate incident because the ‘victim’ happened to be Black and the horn was claerly ‘racist’.
High time Boris the Bottlers Communist party made false allegations of the meaningless word ‘racism’ a criminal offence.
The co-ordinated admiration of Laura makes you suspicious.
Compare it to Sopel , a true , fair and free journalist of impeccable credentials ( so he said)
Most likely a circling of wagons as the state organ may be realising it has been well and truly sussed.
s.t, think Part-time had the potential to cost the BBC some great embarrassment and maybe a D-G and Chair. Look like I’m not the only one muttering darkly that Part-time has been dabbling where truly impartial BBC journalists should not go.
Could it just be possible that bumbling Boris has been actually very clever with the help of a non-comic DC and got one or two individuals and organisations right where wants them for squeezing?
These coordinated responses are becoming common these days. It started with the ‘without evidence’ clause they all suddenly started adding to Trumps election fraud claims and when they got away with it, it became a standard tactic.
I will say that Sopel’s books get excellent reviews.
Upon investigation (due to my surprise), I discovered it’s because only people as far Left as him actually read them. They even complained that he only said something which was not anti-Trump because of his BBC anti-bias training.
These people have no idea what clowns they are. Hard to spot with your head up your own backside I suppose.
2015 .. before FAKE NEWS became a thing ….. videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …
Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”

4:30pm Jeanne Baret
“The first woman who sailed round the globe did so dressed as a man.”
” ingenious French woman who joined Louis Antoine de Bougainville’s circumnavigation in 1763. She was dressed as a man because women were not allowed on board”
..as ever the narrative is very attractive to the beeboids
I don’t know if someone like Simon Webb has a different take.
https://womenyoushouldknow.net/jeanne-baret-first-woman-circumnavigate-globe/
Superstition among sailors was that having a woman on board brought bad luck on a ship. That French woman may have completed the voyage but what happened to the ship afterward?
Just askin’.
The current establishment media Circle Jerk explained.
Israel was critised in the headline news from the BBC this morning referring to a letter the Archbishop of Canterbury wrote accusing Israel of mistreating Christians. He had been misled by some Christian Arabs who are being paid by the Palestinian Authority to slander Israel..
Sadly , at this time of year, it is expected that the Jerusalem correspondant will report something negative about the Jewish State .
BBC going all out about a mother who is not eating in order that her children have enough to eat. Doesn’t it just get you right here?
She opens a kitchen cupboard. It seems to be very full.
Among the items appears to be a Heinz tomato ketchup bottle.
Now if I was short of cash i’d be buying own label in Aldi or Lidl for under half the price. Other low cost options are available.
Which makes me suspect something fishy is going on, such as a BBC narrative.
Hooray, we are going to be allowed to have Christmas this year.
Yoo Pim Has all the facts on BBC News.
G.W.F, is Yoo Pim Has the overmanned BBC’s new Chinese Virus Editor? Or is he or she merely yet another a new BBC Correspondent?
I think I am amazed at Look North tonight. There is an area of Hull called Newland, it is only about 50% vaccinated. It is full of students in parts and full of people from the Middle East in others. Lianne Brown reported from there. She was asking people why they had not responded to the pleas of the chief medical officer for the area and taken up the vacc. She said people responded it was because they didn’t speak English. My amazement was that she said it.
BBC Politics might not release him.
Next job… find out who he might be.
I see that the wonderful actress Miriam Margoyles is appearing in Call the Midwife. That should cut the running time in half, with her face she’ll probably induce an awful lot of births.
Don’t forget how they failed to mention how the online racist comments originated in Muslim countries, not the UK.
They are the worst kind of liars. They are full of hate for their political opposites and don’t care one bit what they do for their ideological agenda. Like all the socialist tyrants through history.
One the bbc couldn’t manage in Rotherham?
The BBC have been trailing scientists over the their R4 airwaves for the last few days who have stated “Covid-19 ‘variant’ Omicron appears to be doubling every two days.” Except it doesn’t. The latest figures show a slight fall in infections from yesterday 91,473 to 90,629 but ‘deaths with’ have more than quadrupled to 172 and hospitalisations have increased from 133 discharges to 232 admissions.
I wonder what the scientists on BBC R4 will be saying tomorrow?
Journalists claim alternative Covid-19 news has been ‘censored’ to create ‘one official narrative’… (June 2021- old but still important stuff)
“There’s only been one ‘scientific truth’ allowed to be discussed: the one endorsed by worldwide governmental regulatory bodies, even that has been very selective. This has given the public a distorted view of the truth which has been highly damaging.”
A link was given as ‘The Trusted News Initiative’ that was being used to push the ‘official’ UK line. I looked at the link and surprise, surprise.. its run by the BBC with the usual ‘suspects’ in the loop… who would have thought it!
Project Origin pioneered by the BBC, Microsoft, CBC/Radio-Canada and the New York Times, is one of the first attempts to create a future world in which platforms and news providers will work side by side to tackle a common problem together – a practical answer to the issue of deep fakes amongst others. here.
The BBC sponsors ‘Project Origin’ calling itself ‘The Trusted News Network’. Well it would wouldn’t it? After all the The World most distrusted world broadcaster’ has an odd ring to it…
….
But not all journalists agree… with ‘censorship’
Elijah said her biggest concern was about “censorship” of information online that goes against this narrative and referred to the Trusted News Initiative, through which the BBC, other publishers and tech giants flag up the most dangerous disinformation to each other.
….
Ex-BBC radio journalist Gosling told Press Gazette he had interviewed two doctors who shared counter-narratives – Dr Tess Lawrie of the Evidence-based Medicine Consultancy in Bath who called for early treatment to take place post-Covid diagnosis, and Florida-based immunologist Dr Stanley Laham who called for the use of ivermectin and warned against the use of the approved but “experimental” vaccines – but that both were removed from Youtube on grounds of misinformation.
….
He pointed as one example to a BBC Newsround segment last month in which a contributor claimed the Pfizer vaccine was “100% safe” for 12 to 15-year-olds. Gosling submitted a complaint about the “shocking” and “disgusting” claim and the BBC has since removed the claim from the online article and video and published a correction.
Well I guess we all know, that the ‘truth’ as they used to say on TV (X-files) ‘the TRUTH is out there’, just not on the BBC. Not that many (politicians) seem to notice, or bother to look beyond the press release of BBC predictions of doom campaign. We are living the DREAM. That is a success by world standards.
And Bill Gates gets all the credit, (and all the Money in the world) to vaccinate-the-world three times a year for life (or death) which ever is sooner… And don’t forget your mask and take your pills.

The BBC says of the Harry Miller case:
Mr Justice Julian Knowles says:
BBC take, Harry Miller is wrong, here is his bigoted viewpoint.
Mr Justice Julian Knowles’ take, Harry Miller is right and right in law.
It’s the road to causing offence being a crime …no one must never ever be offended …
I actually laughed.
Name one lost to followers of a certain faith from Nigeria to Manchester.
Isn’t it weird.
People risk their lives to escape from the hellhole that it….errrr…France.
And yet thousands of Brits were queuing up to get over there just the other day before the French travel ban came into force.
I don’t suppose the BBC could investigate this apparent contradiction?
No. Thought not.
Springster reeling in the audience.
The spiral down from Jez’ tweet is awesome.
What will happen if there is no surge in hospital cases and deaths caused by the new Chinese virus brand ? Will experts be criticised or held to account or not listened too again ? Will they acknowledge their failure and the knock on effect to mental health and businesses ?
I reckon there will be a ‘surge’ whether there really is one or not . The MSM /left is addicted to Project Fear and restrictions on our lives .
Time for the midweek thread . Happy Shortest Day ….
Who actually runs BBC Twitter accounts ?
Are they run by a PR team like Rashford’s
#1 JV tweets “@bbclaurak is one of the best political editors the BBC has ever had.
#2 Tavish quips, that’s humour
#3 Vine’s account doesn’t reply, rather an account marked “BBC’s Security producer #tomorrowspaperstoday”
says Tavish is blocked
That is like when someone running 2 different accounts, send the reply from the wrong account.
Not too smart, are they?
Maybe Stuart Hughes is in charge.
😜
What did it say on the door, after I cycled for 40 minutes to get to the concert tonight ?
……………………… * Concert cancelled, due to covid conditions *
I had checked the website before I set off
Looks like the anti-Tories have made a nasty Xmas song and video
sneering at Boris
“Boris Johnson is STILL a F****ng C**t
.. Let’s get the Boris song to be the Nation’s Xmas Number One (currently number five).”
.. They don’t use asterisks
