An 18-year-old suicide bomber blew himself up and appeared before Allah.
He said, “Oh, Allah, I did your bidding, but I have a request. Since I’m only 18 and spent all my time in terrorist training school, I never was with a woman. So, instead of 72 virgins, who also won’t know what to do sexually, can I have 72 prostitutes?”
Allah regarded him for a moment, then replied,
“Actually, 72 virgins are here in heaven because bastards like you murdered them before they could experience the pleasure of sex. So you’re here to service them. Since they’re virgins, they’re quite sexually ravenous; and, frankly, you’ll be on constant, exhausting duty.”
The bomber responded, “Well, I guess I can live with that. How hard can it be to keep 72 women satisfied for all eternity?”
“ Any time I see the phrase “according to fact-checkers” in a headline, I can’t help but roll my eyes. That’s because what follows the headline probably isn’t a “fact-check” but an opinion piece authored by someone pretending to be a journalist. ”

“We’re being lied to, and it’s been costing us a fortune, both economically and socially. For most of the last decade, the industry selling these lies has operated within the ten billion dollars a year range (with a B), selling a product they know doesn’t work, and it’s now growing exponentially. This industry produces no tangible product, makes workplaces less effective and efficient, and reliably leads to toxic and hostile working cultures that can tear companies—and our society—apart, and yet we can’t get enough of it. It’s a particular kind of madness that’s almost impossible to understand, explain, or stop.
What does this industry sell? “Diversity,” “Inclusion,” and “Equity” (DIE) consulting, training, and administration.
Among these manipulations at the very core of these consultancy projects are three seemingly anodyne and now sacrosanct words: “Diversity,” “Inclusion,” and “Equity.” These are what they’re selling to us to a tune of untold billions of dollars a year in return for a society that gets increasingly dysfunctional as a result, and we have a right to know why. We have a right to see how we’re being lied to and manipulated by these three words. We actually do have to understand the terms “Diversity,” “Inclusion,” and “Equity” in their proper “Critical” meanings—because that’s what they’re really selling—to understand what’s going on. All of these represent political agendas, not something helpful, useful, moral, or anything remotely close to what people should think is warm, fuzzy, and worth getting behind. Speaking corporately, it would be better to set our money on fire than to spend it on these programs because they don’t just waste money but will cause increased costs more or less perpetually afterward.”
“That political agenda comes from a long-standing line of radical thought called “Critical Theory,” though it has been supercharged into something new in the last decade or so. That new way of doing Critical Theory is called “Critical Social Justice,” or sometimes “Wokeness” in slang, and it represents the maturation of what the Critical Theorists have called “the long march through the institutions,” following the communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci in the 1920s. Installing DIE in your workplace is facilitating the late—and, if they are successful, final—stage of the “long march,” essentially creating a new form of fascism “
So, do we have any idea how old wobbly chops Boris is going to jump today.

Thanks – very worrying when the numbers get really really political . Neither Drakeford nor Krankie will want to be shown to be wrong – so surely there is a possibility that the numbers will be fiddled ?
I say this in the belief that the SNP would do anything to maintain or improve their standing amongst the Scots- as well as sticking it to the English …
I think nut nut has got it right this time . The NHS drones have been given air to moan about the usual shortage – mainly their own people chucking the Christmas sickie – they must be hacked that it’s only 7 days now ….
Elsewhere – nut nut has been given another few months not to set up the public inquiry – those calling for it would look pretty bad trying to speed things up in current circumstances .also it will be interesting if the Labour Party supports what nut nut has decided or be ambiguous / silent i their response…
The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture
Heather Mac Donald Author
“Until the current obsession with politically correct attitudes, universities stood for knowledge, learning, debate and a deep respect for freedom of speech and civilised debate. Academic courses were disciplines, requiring rigorous thought and open-mindedness. Not all students lived up to these lofty ideals, but all but a small minority respected them. Intellectual curiosity and humility were the great virtues. Our heritage from the 18th century enlightenment in particular was cherished. As Heather Mac Donald demonstrates in this persuasive study, for decades now these treasures of civilisation are in the process of increasing subversion.
In her incisive introduction the author reveals the enemies of all that has sustained us for hundreds of years. Essentially, they are identity and diversity politics, victimology and above all violent attempts to shut down free speech. In the pages that follow, she expands on these crucial issues via extensive research and trenchant argument. Instead of an openness before life, we have increasingly insularity, self-pity and intolerance. If we are not already alive to the key issues, we learn in the body of this fine argument the ways in which universities have kowtowed to the bullies.
New courses have mushroomed, almost all around the themes of race, ethnicity and gender. Students, who were once expected to be resilient are now such sensitive beings that they require warnings that the content of books prescribed for study might touch upon their tender vulnerability to offence. The great works of literature from Chaucer, through Shakespeare to Milton, Pope, Wordsworth and onwards are no longer considered to be suitable, since they incorporate the values of white, male-dominated society. As the author potently says: ‘universities should be where students encounter the greatest works of mankind – what makes them touchstones of human experience’. Now, owing to pressures upon universities to admit wholly unqualified students simply on the grounds of their member ship of numerous minorities, some turn up at freshers’ time barely able to read.
What is perhaps most alarming is the pressures upon teaching staff to conform to the accepted political attitudes. Not a few have lost their jobs through giving voice to ideas that fall foul of student prejudices. No longer are speakers invited to campuses to express unconventional and minority views. They are shunned, and when they do pass the initial obstacles they are mobbed with ignorant screaming and threats of violence, shouted down with no chance to articulate their views.
The author writes of the United States, but the evils of what she describes have permeated UK universities too, and perhaps even more here freedom of speech is under constant threat. As she says, the academic world does not exist in a bell jar; rather infects society in very many ways. It seems to me that this important book is a warning and a lament. I hope that it is not too late for sanity to prevail. “
Jesus H Christ it never stops, I promised myself no more after Black and the Beanstalk, but saw a new Hansel and Gretel was on

And the so called History channels are little more than either second world war or bloody car restoration for some strange reason so a bit stuck now
Idly wondering whether Ofcom will step in after a @GBNEWS presenter spouted anti-vax nonsense. Mind you the replies may prove more effective than the regulator… pic.twitter.com/OWnVku8VRS
In a segment about vaccine approval for 12 to 15 year olds, a contributor claimed that the Pfizer vaccine is “100% safe”. This has been removed from the online article and video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/57435861
She reported stories of MEDICAL EMERGENCIES that she’d heard at her salon.
They may well be hyperbole .. stories often are.
But RCJ just dismisses what may be genuine medical emergencies
as “anti-vax nonsense.”
Instead of showing any concern he’s trying to INTIMIDATE her from repeating such stories giving it a power label “anti-vax nonsense.”
People keep quote tweeting it to Ofcom
Trying to cause a pile-on
But it’s her own private Twitter account, she is under no rule to validate every story she tweets.
Furthermore his reply come 3 days after her original tweets
first one was timestamped 10:59 AM · Dec 24
Her next tweet 11:44 AM · Dec 24 I am not remotely anti-vax nor a conspiracy theorist, but this is not the first time I am hearing such anecdotes.
All unverified and salon gossip, but it goes to show what people are talking about out there
Pug,
I agree 100% with your last sentence. In my opinion the BBC has done more damage to this country than any other institution. Many would disagree with that view and cite the Blair nexus of evil as the most damaging but it was the BBC which paved the way for Blair . Without their eighteen year long campaign against the Tories , 1979 to 1997 , Blair would never have become PM.
The BBC are doing it all again, or at least trying to, Double. They are in cahoots with the Daily Mirror (and probably the Guardian, too) because Sarah Montague gave the game away on TWatO stating that Part-time had been working with the Daily Mirror to reveal a story about HMG, the PM and No.10. Cannot now remember what or when it was. I should have written it down.
But the health secretary said people should “remain cautious” and celebrate outside on New Year’s Eve if possible.
“When we get into the new year, of course we will see then whether we do need to take any further measures, but nothing more until then at least,” he said.
He said 90% of cases across England were now the Omicron variant.
My neighbour who sits watching MSM news assured me yesterday,
that it was guaranteed Boris would announce an immediate New Years lockdown today Monday.
I tried to convince him, that it was impractical ..but he wouldn’t have it.

Solar panels make a marginal difference, but the lefties won’t be allowed to use these ugly bits of roofing on listed buildings, and in conservation areas, without a huge bitch-fight.
Most of the lefties have to/will roll over of course, but the graun, ‘i’ observer puppets will whinge…

John Redwood listening to R4Today on Monday morning
Why did BBC Today say the problem of energy prices is international energy prices which we cannot do anything about? US gas prices are way cheaper than ours because they allow business to find and produce more gas. We in the U.K. should produce more of our own energy.
Just to report that 72,000 at Twickenham today seemed to think government covid policy is set about right.
As it appears did 50,000 at Newcastle.
Other examples are available,
Those who oppose such measures were presumably cooped up at home. As is their right. Which should not extend to imposing on the rest of us their medical socialism.

We may suspect the media is outright lying to us, the following is important, ten examples from the liberal US press and how fact checkers lied to the country:
This is something for the bbc fact checker Spring thing to look at maybe ? fat bleeding chance
Critics say fact checks have become “fetishized” in the mainstream press as more declarative of the truth than a traditional news report,
Journalist Mark Hemingway predicted as much in a 2011 column, writing at the time that “the media seem oblivious to the distinction between verifying facts and passing judgment on opinions they personally find disagreeable.”
The 10 worst fact checks of 2021, and why they matter
When the arbiters of truth fell short
Fact-checkers ‘suddenly’ flip on the Wuhan lab-leak theory
Biden’s time check
USA Today issued a public correction in September on a “fact check” examining whether President Biden actually kept checking the time on his wrist during a dignified transfer ceremony, in honor of the 13 U.S. service members killed in a terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport.
Kamala Harris and the not-so-empty stockpile
Axios drew criticism in February after it deleted a tweet fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris, who repeated the debunked claim that the Biden administration was “starting from scratch” with its coronavirus vaccine rollout.
NN blames conservatives for questioning false ivermectin story
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale was slammed as “very obviously a rank partisan” for taking the “conservatives pounded” approach after multiple mainstream outlets were fooled by a false story that some Oklahoma hospitals were overwhelmed with patients having overdosed on the drug ivermectin.
The collapse of the Lafayette Square narrative
The left-leaning media narrative with CNN fact-checker approval went belly-up again in June when an Inspector General report found former President Donald Trump did not have Lafayette Square forcefully cleared of protesters, so he could pose in front of a church last year.
HuffPost called ‘stupid liars’ after accusing Cruz of lying about court-packing
The Huffington Post was savaged in April as “stupid liars” for claiming Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had lied about Republicans never engaging in so-called “court-packing” when they controlled the White House and Congress.
Joe and Kamala’s change of heart
PolitiFact was accused of shielding President Biden and Vice President Harris from criticism over their past rhetoric expressing distrust in the coronavirus vaccine during the Trump administration.
Jacob Blake’s pocket knife
Last August, police shot a Black man named Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., while trying to arrest him after a domestic incident, leading to violent uprisings and protests in the city. The media widely reported he was unarmed, including in a USA Today fact-check declaring the notion he brandished a knife before the shooting “false.”
A ‘hit job’ on Sen. Tim Scott
The Washington Post shocked readers in May for publishing a “hit job” on Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., questioning his family history of going from a childhood picking cotton to the halls of Congress after Scott delivered the Republican Party’s response to Biden’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Kyle Rittenhouse’s gun charge
PolitiFact was roasted in November for a poorly aged “fact-check” claiming Kyle Rittenhouse’s firearm possession was illegal.
Insidious, considering what they allowed, and encouraged against Trump
Media working overtime to protect Biden from ‘Let’s Go Brandon’:
No matter how silly or serious you think the phrase is, it has now hit embarrassing new heights for Joe Biden thanks to a man named Jared Schmeck. Even on Christmas Eve while he was taking calls from the public and tracking Santa Claus, Joe Biden couldn’t escape “Let’s Go Brandon.”
That clip is now a viral sensation. So naturally, Biden’s allies in the media have swooped into his defense. It doesn’t matter that Jared Schmeck claims he said “Let’s Go Brandon” in jest. Blue checked journalists were outraged. NBC News was traumatized by the call and ran a headline calling the phrase a quote “right-wing slur.” ABC News called it a quote “verbal insult.” Congressman Eric Swalwell of all people–who has repeatedly slept with a Chinese spy–had the audacity to accuse Schmeck of humiliating his family and of being quote, “indecent.”
BBC Today’s interview on the energy crisis was a proposal to put in more wind farms when one of the main reasons we were short of energy this year is the fact the wind did not blow much. No questions over what back up power is needed when the wind drops.

Thanks – very worrying when the numbers get really really political . Neither Drakeford nor Krankie will want to be shown to be wrong – so surely there is a possibility that the numbers will be fiddled ?
I say this in the belief that the SNP would do anything to maintain or improve their standing amongst the Scots- as well as sticking it to the English …
I think nut nut has got it right this time . The NHS drones have been given air to moan about the usual shortage – mainly their own people chucking the Christmas sickie – they must be hacked that it’s only 7 days now ….
Elsewhere – nut nut has been given another few months not to set up the public inquiry – those calling for it would look pretty bad trying to speed things up in current circumstances .also it will be interesting if the Labour Party supports what nut nut has decided or be ambiguous / silent i their response…

The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture
Heather Mac Donald Author
“Until the current obsession with politically correct attitudes, universities stood for knowledge, learning, debate and a deep respect for freedom of speech and civilised debate. Academic courses were disciplines, requiring rigorous thought and open-mindedness. Not all students lived up to these lofty ideals, but all but a small minority respected them. Intellectual curiosity and humility were the great virtues. Our heritage from the 18th century enlightenment in particular was cherished. As Heather Mac Donald demonstrates in this persuasive study, for decades now these treasures of civilisation are in the process of increasing subversion.
In her incisive introduction the author reveals the enemies of all that has sustained us for hundreds of years. Essentially, they are identity and diversity politics, victimology and above all violent attempts to shut down free speech. In the pages that follow, she expands on these crucial issues via extensive research and trenchant argument. Instead of an openness before life, we have increasingly insularity, self-pity and intolerance. If we are not already alive to the key issues, we learn in the body of this fine argument the ways in which universities have kowtowed to the bullies.
New courses have mushroomed, almost all around the themes of race, ethnicity and gender. Students, who were once expected to be resilient are now such sensitive beings that they require warnings that the content of books prescribed for study might touch upon their tender vulnerability to offence. The great works of literature from Chaucer, through Shakespeare to Milton, Pope, Wordsworth and onwards are no longer considered to be suitable, since they incorporate the values of white, male-dominated society. As the author potently says: ‘universities should be where students encounter the greatest works of mankind – what makes them touchstones of human experience’. Now, owing to pressures upon universities to admit wholly unqualified students simply on the grounds of their member ship of numerous minorities, some turn up at freshers’ time barely able to read.
What is perhaps most alarming is the pressures upon teaching staff to conform to the accepted political attitudes. Not a few have lost their jobs through giving voice to ideas that fall foul of student prejudices. No longer are speakers invited to campuses to express unconventional and minority views. They are shunned, and when they do pass the initial obstacles they are mobbed with ignorant screaming and threats of violence, shouted down with no chance to articulate their views.
The author writes of the United States, but the evils of what she describes have permeated UK universities too, and perhaps even more here freedom of speech is under constant threat. As she says, the academic world does not exist in a bell jar; rather infects society in very many ways. It seems to me that this important book is a warning and a lament. I hope that it is not too late for sanity to prevail. “

And the so called History channels are little more than either second world war or bloody car restoration for some strange reason so a bit stuck now

She reported stories of MEDICAL EMERGENCIES that she’d heard at her salon.
They may well be hyperbole .. stories often are.
But RCJ just dismisses what may be genuine medical emergencies
as “anti-vax nonsense.”
Instead of showing any concern he’s trying to INTIMIDATE her from repeating such stories giving it a power label “anti-vax nonsense.”
People keep quote tweeting it to Ofcom
Trying to cause a pile-on
But it’s her own private Twitter account, she is under no rule to validate every story she tweets.

Pug,
I agree 100% with your last sentence. In my opinion the BBC has done more damage to this country than any other institution. Many would disagree with that view and cite the Blair nexus of evil as the most damaging but it was the BBC which paved the way for Blair . Without their eighteen year long campaign against the Tories , 1979 to 1997 , Blair would never have become PM.

The BBC are doing it all again, or at least trying to, Double. They are in cahoots with the Daily Mirror (and probably the Guardian, too) because Sarah Montague gave the game away on TWatO stating that Part-time had been working with the Daily Mirror to reveal a story about HMG, the PM and No.10. Cannot now remember what or when it was. I should have written it down.

But the health secretary said people should “remain cautious” and celebrate outside on New Year’s Eve if possible.
“When we get into the new year, of course we will see then whether we do need to take any further measures, but nothing more until then at least,” he said.
He said 90% of cases across England were now the Omicron variant.

Depends on what leftie councils let through for planning permissions.
Solar panels make a marginal difference, but the lefties won’t be allowed to use these ugly bits of roofing on listed buildings, and in conservation areas, without a huge bitch-fight.

Or alternatively, why do new school builds have no solar panels?
It’s because the Department of Education cannot afford the cost.

Within twenty minutes they all run out of the houses like rats, at least 50 of them attacking the police and blocking the exit with their cars shouting abuse at the police who have to send for emergency assistance
This is what I think about when I hear about refugees, so called racism and islamophobia

We may suspect the media is outright lying to us, the following is important, ten examples from the liberal US press and how fact checkers lied to the country:
This is something for the bbc fact checker Spring thing to look at maybe ? fat bleeding chance
Critics say fact checks have become “fetishized” in the mainstream press as more declarative of the truth than a traditional news report,
Journalist Mark Hemingway predicted as much in a 2011 column, writing at the time that “the media seem oblivious to the distinction between verifying facts and passing judgment on opinions they personally find disagreeable.”

When the arbiters of truth fell short

Fact-checkers ‘suddenly’ flip on the Wuhan lab-leak theory
Biden’s time check
USA Today issued a public correction in September on a “fact check” examining whether President Biden actually kept checking the time on his wrist during a dignified transfer ceremony, in honor of the 13 U.S. service members killed in a terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport.
Kamala Harris and the not-so-empty stockpile
Axios drew criticism in February after it deleted a tweet fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris, who repeated the debunked claim that the Biden administration was “starting from scratch” with its coronavirus vaccine rollout.
NN blames conservatives for questioning false ivermectin story
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale was slammed as “very obviously a rank partisan” for taking the “conservatives pounded” approach after multiple mainstream outlets were fooled by a false story that some Oklahoma hospitals were overwhelmed with patients having overdosed on the drug ivermectin.
The collapse of the Lafayette Square narrative
The left-leaning media narrative with CNN fact-checker approval went belly-up again in June when an Inspector General report found former President Donald Trump did not have Lafayette Square forcefully cleared of protesters, so he could pose in front of a church last year.
HuffPost called ‘stupid liars’ after accusing Cruz of lying about court-packing
The Huffington Post was savaged in April as “stupid liars” for claiming Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had lied about Republicans never engaging in so-called “court-packing” when they controlled the White House and Congress.
Joe and Kamala’s change of heart
PolitiFact was accused of shielding President Biden and Vice President Harris from criticism over their past rhetoric expressing distrust in the coronavirus vaccine during the Trump administration.
Jacob Blake’s pocket knife
Last August, police shot a Black man named Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., while trying to arrest him after a domestic incident, leading to violent uprisings and protests in the city. The media widely reported he was unarmed, including in a USA Today fact-check declaring the notion he brandished a knife before the shooting “false.”
A ‘hit job’ on Sen. Tim Scott
The Washington Post shocked readers in May for publishing a “hit job” on Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., questioning his family history of going from a childhood picking cotton to the halls of Congress after Scott delivered the Republican Party’s response to Biden’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Kyle Rittenhouse’s gun charge
PolitiFact was roasted in November for a poorly aged “fact-check” claiming Kyle Rittenhouse’s firearm possession was illegal.

Insidious, considering what they allowed, and encouraged against Trump
Media working overtime to protect Biden from ‘Let’s Go Brandon’:
No matter how silly or serious you think the phrase is, it has now hit embarrassing new heights for Joe Biden thanks to a man named Jared Schmeck. Even on Christmas Eve while he was taking calls from the public and tracking Santa Claus, Joe Biden couldn’t escape “Let’s Go Brandon.”
That clip is now a viral sensation. So naturally, Biden’s allies in the media have swooped into his defense. It doesn’t matter that Jared Schmeck claims he said “Let’s Go Brandon” in jest. Blue checked journalists were outraged. NBC News was traumatized by the call and ran a headline calling the phrase a quote “right-wing slur.” ABC News called it a quote “verbal insult.” Congressman Eric Swalwell of all people–who has repeatedly slept with a Chinese spy–had the audacity to accuse Schmeck of humiliating his family and of being quote, “indecent.”
