Nobody should complain about this. We are simply reaping the seeds we planted years ago. It was entirely to be expected.
I remember a BBC report where they quoted a black African woman saying ‘I feel like the UK wants my culture but not me’.
Nope. The culture is the thing we DON’T want.
Reply to JohnC
“Nope. The culture is the thing we DON’T want.”
We were not given the choice, although we did vote for Brexit but we are still being ignored by the Consocialist government that promised it.
Exactly so. Neither her or her culture are required or wanted. We have far too much diversity already and far too many people for the size of the country. Do us a favour and leave.
Here’s hoping that 2022 will be better than 2021, although I’m sure that our “elected” officials will do their best to complicate our lives.

‘Kill the bill’: Hundreds in UK protest against new crime law
Proposed bill would give police extra powers to curtail demonstrations, such as imposing time and noise limits.

“It’s not infringing upon your right to free speech if we restrict it to 5 minutes per day and require you to keep it below 10 decibels.”
Most of the actors on BBC dramas already mumble at aroun 10 decibels, usually in a darkened room.
When is something a demonstration
.. and when is it intimidation and obstruction ?
Your right to free speech doesn’t trump someone’s right to go about their normal daily business.
Forgive them, they know not what they do!
‘His views will not be tolerated on campus’: Here’s what went down at the Anti Jacob Rees-Mogg protest
https://thetab.com/uk/birmingham/2018/03/10/coverage-of-the-anti-jacob-rees-mogg-protest-37593
Lately, I’ve been reading books about British spies (Kim Philby et al) and I hope that MI5 are at the very least identifying these socialists/communists to ensure that they never find employment in sensitive government agencies.
ABY,
You may not know the UK very well but I can assure that MI5 are far more worried about identifying the single far right putative terrorist who resides here than they are about the million or so liberal left Woke anti Brits who run our country.
What they are worried about is a confrontation between the silent English majority and the Muslim terrorists.
It takes 2 to start a war and they know they cannot possibly stop Islamic terrorism. There are 10’s of thousands of their extremists living amonst us. If anything kicked off, they would all be joining Alan’s snackbar.
Hence the only thing they can do is suppress the opposition. Which happens to be the English people themselves. But what choice do they have ?. The damge was done long ago and people like the BBC are making it much, much worse. They have driven a wedge through society.
The real problem is that it can only ever be a temporary fix. But politicians only care about next week. Not 5 years or 10 years or 50 years. It will be somebody elses problem by then.
“Extreme” note that
“Solidarity forever because the union makes us strong” was just one of the chants heard today, as societies such as Women’s Association, Birmingham Socialist Students, University of Birmingham LGBTQ Association among others, joined together to form a completely non-violent protest against the visit of Jacob Rees-Mogg to the University of Birmingham.
Rees-Mogg was a guest speaker for the university’s Conservative Society, which caused a lot of controversy due to his extreme right-wing views. Whereby, protestors made it clear that these views would not be tolerated at the university.
In 2020, Rees-Mogg accused Unicef of a political stunt after it announced for the first time in its 70-year history it would be providing food parcels to children in deprived areas of London prior to Christmas. Rees-Mogg said that Unicef were “playing politics when it is meant to be looking after people in the poorest, the most deprived countries in the world, where people are starving, where there are famines and where there are civil wars.” Rees-Mogg was branded “Scrooge” by Labour MP Neil Coyle.[142] In his comments, Rees-Mogg stated the charity was “faffing around in England” and “Unicef should be ashamed of itself”.[143]
In October 2021, Rees-Mogg said that the main cause of labour shortages in the UK was the effects of disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic rather than Brexit. He said: “The lorry driver shortage is nothing to do with European labour movements. 89% of lorry drivers are UK born and bred in 2021, exactly the same level as in 2016.”[147]

In regards to Covid.
I don’t know if this has been posted before but try searching, any Three digit number and then new cases.
Yes, it works every time. Fact checkers say it does not prove a conspiracy, but the fact is that you always get a location for new cases.

“The previous New Year’s Day record was set in 1916, when it reached 15.6C (60.1F) in Bude, Cornwall.”
“Saturday’s record is still provisional as temperatures could get even higher as the day progresses.”

Operative words “provisional” and “could”.

Covid stats are partially out
Really nothing will be certain for a few days
The death trend has gone above 100/day
2 days of high hospital admissions twice that before
They might send some people home before Xmas, and then they come back in.
With the big increase in infections, the deaths ‘with COVID’ are bound to go up.
The question we will never get answered is how many are because of COVID.
I can imagine a huge spike in cases in the next week.
good observations
We are about to be lied to on a massive scale by the lefties in the NHS.
Going to hospital means almost 100% guarantee of catching COVID. So the Government should be advising people never to go to hospital.
Makes sense to me!
What’s the betting that the young lady on reception is obliged to tick a box “COVID patient” when they book the patient in?
Going to hospital is a risk. I heard someone on the news say the word ‘pathway’, which means certain death.

I must add my voice to the ridiculousness of the honours, and agree to the comments before. It was the inclusion of “services to dance” that got me. WTF is that about ? it will soon be “services to peeling sprouts” before long. Some bloke called Ashley Banjo received the gong for ‘services to dancing’. He’s been around for a couple of years, has become a ‘face’ on tele and that warrants his award. Jesus Christ, my lovely Dad when not on night shift down a coal mine, started a football team that morphed into a Sporting Youth Club which was in existing for many years, and which he ran at the expense of his family time. A total community project back in the 60’s, and he got…….zilch.
Makes me vomit.
He got the award for the BLM routine on ITVs Britain’s Got Talent. There are thousands of other hard working figures in the dance community.
Francis Chichester circumnavigated the globe, Tom Moore circumnavigated his garden.
I merely ponder that a recently knighted country-leading pol with tentacles in all sorts of places, notably American, has acquired a coveted title in unusual circumstances at the discretion of a regal type at the same time as American derrings do have cast a light on fellow regal types.
Nothing will stop Blair from being knighted; the entire establishment supports him. But a hundred thousand or more signatures opposing him will be there for future historians to remember.
iirc there was several days of public celebration at the demise of Spencer Percival.
I didn’t expect Blair to beknighted.
The beknighted mr sir Blair.
We all know he is.
Blair has a younger sister, Sarah
and an older brother, Sir William Blair, a High Court judge
He was previously a Queen’s Counsel at London barristers’ chambers
Tony Blair himself was a barrister at Lincoln’s In under Lord Irvine.

Culture Cornered
We suspect Carrie Nut Nut has turned our previously ebullient Get-Brexit-Done Boris into a simpering face nappie-brained posh version of Swampy Hooper – living not in a tree, but in an overly-refurbished flat above No 10.
The Green-tinged Torygraph today has turned itself into the perfect personification of that now far too familiar daft brand of borrowed-from-the-Left Rousseauian pastural feminised primitivist romanticism – just think about these headlines and features:
‘Farmers to be paid to restore natural habitats in push to rewild the countryside‘
‘Horticultural hitlist. Get-ahead gardening trends‘
‘Selina Scott. Swapping the fame game for country life was my best move‘
Wake up, Tories, your rural idyll is nothing but a sissy fantasy. The UK’s bulging population is touching 70 millions and our borders remain wide open. Rewilding? Someone somewhere must have over-dosed on David Attenborough BBC wild animal documentaries. Surbiton is not and never will be the Serengeti.
Look, I do understand it is the dream of some on the Right to return somehow to “Merrie England”
Kingsley Amis in Lucky Jim, his scathing spoof of 1950s University life, has his comic hero deliver a disasterously drunken lecture on “Merrie England“. “The point about Merrie England is that it was about the most un-Merrie period in our history.” Then he passes out.
If you prefer, that irascible right-leaning Mancunian punk rocker, Mark E Smith of The Fall catches the mood:
You’ll never see me trying to raise Cain
You’ll never see me wear a suit of green
There’s a slip-road up right ahead
leading to the agragarian
But I’m city born and bred
Too many car-fumes in my head
Just a well-read punk peasant.
But you’d think a countryman would understand
the devil makes work for idle hands.
M5 to the country straight ahead
It’s stuffed to the gills with crusty brown bread
Can they not understand
there’s nothing worse than a bored man?
One might have thought New Year’s Day was an apt occasion for brave new conservative resolutions – not from this lilly-livered cabal of focus-pocus group focused limp Tory boys too afraid of nursey and of teacher to stand up and be counted: ‘Pupils told to wear masks in classrooms‘ (Times)

https://www.vox.com/2018/10/15/17978156/hillary-clinton-monica-lewinsky-interview-bill-clinton-sexual-misconduct-metoo
In a CBS interview on Sunday, correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked Clinton if she thought her husband should have resigned after his affair with Lewinsky, then a White House intern, became public.
“Absolutely not,” Clinton said.
“Bill Clinton has faced a number of allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and other misconduct over the course of his long political career. Probably most famous was the revelation that he had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky while he was in office. After a now-famous denial — “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” — he admitted to the relationship in 1998.

This no doubt explains how the RNLI justify their expensive ad campaign on TV – the cost of which will almost certainly go a long way towards cancelling any benefit from Guardianista contributions.

Good to know how all that public money is being spent.
The BBC is investigating itself over the issue that they interviewed a ‘constitutional lawyer’ about the Maxwell case without mentioning that Mr Dershowitz used to represent Epstein and had himself been accused of sexual abuse.
But what is not mentioned is that this is par for the course for the BBC. The repeated practice of interviewing ‘experts’ without telling us who they really are and on what side of the fence they stand.
I remember for instance the ‘nurse on an acute ward’ who just happened to be a militant Labour trade unionist. And how often was Gina Miller interviewed as ‘a lawyer’. Contributors to this site have done great work in exposing this kind of thing by digging down.
That is what needs investigating. The unceasing tactic of claiming people as ‘impartial experts’ while in reality being brought on to support the chosen BBC editorial narrative.
The thing is that Dershowitz is not a Democrat, and is suing CNN for slander so he is not in the lefts good books at all. The difference here is the reaction to the fact that he represented Epstein which shouldn’t really matter, as a lawyer is supposed to represent their client not be their supporter for all time. It’s akin to suggesting the lawyer who defended Myra Hindley remained an ardent supporter of her.
The fact is that any lawyer represents their client to the best of their ability, without any implication of endorsement of their clients crimes – or innocence.
In terms of the accusations, they are merely that and nothing more. Giuffre went off like an out of control firework accusing anyone in the vicinity she could name although interestingly not Prince Andrew.
A settlement was made of all the accused parties of which Dershowitz was one and the case was ended without any judgement.
It therefore is of no consequence he was accused, because he is innocent of the accusations.

An absolute classic BBC ‘lie by inference’:
‘A booster vaccine is 88% effective at preventing people ending up in hospital with Covid-19, new data from the UK Health Security Agency suggests.’
‘The new data confirms that two doses of the AstraZeneca, Pfizer or Moderna vaccines offers little protection against being infected with Omicron.’
They are comparing apples with oranges !. The first has nothing to do with preventing infection and the second has nothing to do with hospital admissions.
The point of this is how the BBC are absolutely prepared to totally mislead people when THEY decide the ends justify the means.
“suggests
to mention an idea, possible plan, or action for other people to consider:
I suggested an Italian restaurant near the station for the party.
formal Might I suggest a white wine with your salmon, sir?
[ + (that) ] I suggest (that) we wait a while before we make any firm decisions.
Liz suggested (that) I try the shop on Mill Road.
[ + -ing verb ] I suggested putting the matter to the committee.
[ + question word ] Can you suggest where I could buy a dozen roses?
Speaking as an unashamed pro-vaccination person who had very mild covid after two jabs I have to say John that you are quite right.
There are piles of evidence in favour of vaccination at a macro level. The best is rarely if ever reported which is the sequential reduction in covid death rates for older age groups as a proportion of total covid deaths over time during the first vaccine roll out.
The BBC and other organisations have no need to go in for this deliberately misleading stuff. It undermines the case needlessly. Just another form of bias from the masters of the trade.
I know various senior doctors here in the UK and abroad (some recently retired so not required by work to have it) and all have had the vaccine which is reassuring as I often read Conservative Woman which is rabidly anti.
I remember a few years ago when there was a concensus that modern man and neanderthals hadn’t interbed , they even had early dna to prove it!
The Science often gets it wrong.
If I had a choice between a senior doctor and a neaderthal, the neandethal would probably be easier to get an appointment on the phone

etc etc cos of covid
I too am completely pro-vaccine and I can’t understand why anyone would not have it (apart from medical reasons).
The can imagine the prolonged death from COVID is a very unpleasant and nasty way to die before your time and there is no doubt at all the vaccine dramatically changes the odds.
The question of whether people should be forced to have it though is a much more difficult one.
I’m pro vax – remember the Covid jabs are not vaccines in the strict sense of the word – as well but I would be cautious about giving them to anyone under 18. It is import that the one to be inoculated gives informed consent. We do not know – because a long term test is not possible yet – what the RNA element does to human DNA and to an otherwise robust immune system.
In addition these ‘immune boosters’ that are not strictly vaccines have only a limited effect duration. Some of the scientific sages were muttering recently ‘as little as ten weeks’; the best case scenario they are effective for less than treble that time. In that case it would possibly be better for a young person to catch – unless they have other health risks – Covid and boost their immune system that way. Bit like the old ‘Measles Parties’ that parents of young children apocryphically held.

I don’t give a toss about different regional accents being heard on the BBC, as long as I can understand them. Who cares about the accent when they all say exactly the same thing about every topic?
What I do care passionately about is that there should be a wide range of different views and political outlook to hear on the BBC. But of course this will never happen in a million years and so I just want , at the very least, for the corporation to become a subscription service only.
Of course, ditching the tv would never do. Even if no one uses it to watch broadcast live.
If Liz Truss triggers article 16 then I think Boris’ job will be hers for the taking.
If she says we will leave the UNHCR and jail any migrant illegally arriving over the channel and declare anyone illegally crossing the channel will NEVER be granted asylum here she’s on a winner.
If she says she will scrap all the green crap (with all the associated charges and costs) it would be a huge vote winner.
Basically, if she took the Tories back from the left and moved to the proper right she would win a landslide in a GE.
She has to show she is capable of this and triggering article 16 and going onto WTO would demonstrate it.
I wonder if she realises this.
Interesting read on divided Britain.

“While Johnson lapses, all too easily, into Churchillian rhetoric, larded with Latin idioms, accompanied by a buffoonish grin and Wooster-like bonhomie, is he conscious of the visceral unhappiness that is swirling unchecked throughout the land?
In 2001 the Taliban destroyed the Shrine at Bamiyan in Afghanistan, location of the two largest standing statues of Buddha in the world.
The world watched on, appalled that this could happen, yet here we are in the West, two decades on, busily engaging ourselves in a similar orgy of reinterpretation.”
Someone stood, up and said someting once. where is he now, still in jail ?
of course, if you are a P newsreader and serial bully on the bbc your former name is never mentioned
