    I just watched the charity edition of the ” Weakest Link” Which
    of course the money goes to charity and I do know that
    it is possible for your mind to go blank when you are asked
    the most simplest questions.
    I have never been a particular admirer of Kay Burley as a
    news presenter. And also wondered how bright she might
    not of been in disregarding the lockdown rules. And
    i reiterate that ones mind can go blank on the quiz shows.
    Well Kate’s certainly did several times before she was
    voted off.
    Most of the questions were very simple to anybody with a
    semblance of general knowledge. Out of all the
    questions she got wrong. I would of thought that she
    might of known that the King who followed King Harold
    after the battle of Hastings in 1066 that she would of known that it was William the Conqueror ( William 1) and not GEORGE !!
    But this was one of several kind of answers she got wrong.
    John Bolton the USA National Security Advisor from 2018-2019
    once called her a munchkin when she interviewed him on Sky
    news. a dumbo might of been more appropriate.

        really?

        So Burley without a teleprompter is like AF Neil without a 10 person research team?

    8pm Channel4 celebs go to Norway
    part 1 is basically an advert for a Norwegian forest resort
    They just introduced wild Toskvig and DebMeaden to wolves.
    The wolves did survive ..though they did howl about it at the end.

    Good news from BBC London for homeless Brits and those living in appalling council accommodation.
    An Afghan family has been found and has got themselves a house. In London.

    I wonder how many Brits not living in London could afford to live in London.

    Clearly a question of no interest whatever to the BBC mass immigration lobby.

    I wonder if the New Year’s resolution for a lot of folk will be to live a normal life in 2022.
    If Boris has any bottle and resists the doom-mongers he might have more supporters than the bubble may credit him for.

      I get the feeling the tide is turning regarding COVID and the government sense it, the public have had enough.

      A majority of COVID sufferers in hospital are unvaccinated and most that are dying have serious underlying ailments.

      Even if you go to A&E for a minor injury you are routinely tested for COVID and if found positive you go on that hospitals stats as a COVID patient even if you don’t stay in as an inpatient.

      I think the government may be getting wind of these stupid anomalies and at last this is helping favourably with there decision making process.

      Fascinating to see the tone of the BBC correspondents at the moment, no longer aggressively demanding lock down or damning Boris Johnson but infact suggesting he may have got things right over xmas..The BBC is finding it hard to find anybody that will willingly suggest the Government is wrong, even the opporsistion is quiet.

      I’m no fan of Boris but wouldn’t it be great if things turn out ok over Xmas and Omicron was not a serious threat. Wouldn’t be fun to see the left wing media and BBC with egg on its face, just for once.

    Just caught an intelligent discussion between 2 GBN types about the impact of energy prices on domestic bills – and how failure to do anything will be the equivalent to the poll tax for the tories in coming elections . I agree .

    Also – the green crap will damage the tories because people will suffer from the cost – I agree .

    And that labour is as disconnected from cost of living pressures as the tories – I agree .

    I know I shouldn’t say it – but perhaps the cost of energy will build resistance to the green crap the msm swap have signed up to …..
    …….the way things are looking even doing away with traitor majors’ VAT on fuel won’t impact the huge hike in fuel bills in coming months …..especially April ….

    Perhaps if people have to choose between warmth and the TVlicence they’ll choose …..
