GBNews has started its digital radio output . For the first time in a long time the BBC has competition against its poisonous talk radio . Let’s hope it gets the support it deserves .
I have just watched the 6pm BBC1 news with Hugh Edwards reporting about Novak Djokovic. This has obviously caused a dilemma within the BBC. They showed his mother (twice) saying how dreadful it is that he is imprisoned (until Monday?) and he must stay strong. The BBC are desperate to side with the elite who are entitled to do what they want (especially if they work for the BBC or are friends of the BBC. The BBC also want to support the human rights because that is how they support immigration. But on the other hand the BBC are strong supporters of vaccinations. I can see they don’t know which way to turn. It is so long since the BBC reported anything without first agreeing the line to take, they cannot do it. Dear BBC, if anyone from your organisation reads this post, just suggest to the higher ups that for once just report the facts and move on.
No more proof is required of the collaboration between the Democrats and the BBC than the endless coverage the BBC are giving to the anniversary of what they call the riot at the Capitol.
The BBC constantly refer to the “rioters” when there was in fact very little rioting.
The only person killed at the event was an unarmed women, shot in cold-blood by a police officer, I would call that murder myself.
Constant reference to the “lie” that the election was rigged with no back-up whatsoever and lots of evidence uncovered to support the claim.
Now why would they do this?
The answer is mid-terms…. both the BBC and the Democrats are quaking in their boots that things might swing in a direction they don’t like so they are carrying out a coordinated campaign of mis-information and hysteria along with the corrupt US judicial system and the FBI in hopes that people will be shooed away from a Republican resurgence and wipeout victory.
I think the Republicans will win back, Trump will be back and I can only imagine the penalties he might extract for the vile and lying treatment he has been given.
I also think the FBI would be in for a tough time too.
Bring it on!
I hope the night of the mid-term results is a re-run of the night of the Brexit vote, I would love to see those crestfallen, frightened BBC faces on screen.
I hope he buries the whole lot of the sneaky pile of smug crappers!
The Harris-Biden stuff I caught earlier on SlyNews was predictable puke… I wonder how much of it was scripted and if there’s one of those multiscreen mashups of them all saying the same thing?
I see that Joe Rogan’s doctor said he has prescribed ivermectin to hundreds of Congress Members and the media completely hid that.
As more than three decades in front of the camera at Channel 4 News draw to a close, what will @jonsnowC4 miss most? “I’ve never worked in a place where there are more rewarding people to be among,” he says. “It’s a family, and great-grandpa is about to step off.” https://t.co/K0WqGDjUN8
The Culture Secretary @NadineDorries just admitted that a totally opaque “disinformation unit” in government works day in day out to *extrajudicially* remove lawful speech the government doesn’t like from the internet.
She should have been there in 1986 when I made a visit, she would have been taking pictures of empty shelves, and lengthy queues when a consignment of shoes had arrived, instead of selfies !
I don’t think it’s incorrect, there was a large contingent of British Colonials there, their off-spring would be “Jamaican born”.
My wife for instance was born in Uganda of British (white) parents.
In 2022 the BBC would have us believe that Britain had always been ‘black’ and their latest dramas push that falsehood. It is through films and the like that most of us get our ideas about history.
I was being sarcastic.
You are quite right that re-patriated colonials no doubt made up the majority of ‘Jamaican born’.
‘History Debunked’ goes into this matter further – why is the BBC obsessed with black people, why not Chinese, Indians or even the French? Why aren’t these ‘minorities’ promoted?
ITV News reports on a Conservative Baroness alleged racist comments but hasn’t reported on a Labour Peer convicted of child sex abuse. Well done ITV you’ve perfectly exposed your political bias & how utterly shite your reporting is.

Is the new head of BBC news the same Deborah Turness who is married to a senior cabinet office civil servant & Director of Communications for Security and Intelligence, John Toker?

2004 article
“John Toker, the former ITN producer and Tonight with Trevor McDonald executive, who acted as Mr Blunkett’s personal press secretary and the department’s head of news, remains in his post.”
Thu 8 Jan 2004 Former ITN and Tonight with Trevor McDonald senior producer John Toker has quit broadcasting to take up one of the most powerful PR jobs in the civil service, as head of news for David Blunkett.
(He was 53 then So is 71 now ) https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jan/08/broadcasting
Firstly he’s slurring and faltering like someone who’s not even quite sure where he is.
Second the speech they have written for him is as full of hate as I’ve ever heard. It’s one long personal and very spiteful attack against Trump.
This is the kind of rhetoric I only expect from 3rd world dictatorships. They are clearly desperate now. And the BBC are pushing every word of it in our faces.
Even Lurch says:
‘Biden’s rhetorical shift could represent a strategic shift, as well – a decision that the Democratic base can most effectively be rallied with anger, not hope.’
Everything about Biden and the Democrats is lies. Right down to pretending he is in any way in charge. They are really showing us the true colours of the ‘tolerant’ Left now. So much for bringing the nation together : it’s more divided than ever. Could this be the trigger for unrest ?.
Yes – I was surprised at the level of vitriol – they must truly be worried that the coming elections won’t be fixed as well as the last fraudulent presidential election was – and that President Trump will stand and fight it out with the half wit VP .
The level of vitriol, repeated without criticism by the BBC, leads me to think that something very nasty is being planned. Possibly Trump’s arrest, or some way of excluding him from political life.
They are up to something.

“Mid adult woman refueling the car at the gas station while her son sitting at the back seat and both wearing a protective face mask and gloves during COVID-19 pandemic”
Stew, yes, I wondered about L/H drive and also illegal to have child in front seat. Then I looked a bit more closely.
It appears to be a Renault Clio 3dr hatch but I think it is a larger car. But it was the background that did it: it is summer! And there was no need for masks, outdoors, in summer in the UK. If it’s after 19 July, no need for masks at all. And no need to wear one in a car although you see people doing that in the UK. Well done on researching the US origin. But UK cars have tanks on the right as well. All my previous r/h drive cars did but they were 5-door hatchbacks.
The woman is wearing gloves. But the pumps seem all the wrong colour after the introduction of E10 fuel and the return to facemasks. Could of course be a family terrified witless by the endless Covid propaganda.
Well done Stew, though. You are the only entrant so you win the Grand Prize of Eccles’ piece of paper. Don’t spend that stamp cash all at once. And memo to Scrobie: am waiting for you to take the top of the Thread on another notch.
The mask thing
i imagined a situation where the woman felt she might have Covid
Say, if she was driving to the test centre
Then she might wear a mask even outside to ensure she doesn’t cough over other people refilling her car
Anyway she has to put on a mask to pay anyway and it could be she paid first and is now filling.
Being an armchair strategist there doesn’t seem to be too much coverage of the Azerbaijan ‘coup’ …
This seems strange to me because of the concern about energy supplies to Europe from Russia. To me Putin now has control of another big energy source and will strengthen his economic war against the West .
The timing doesn’t seem to be noted either – both New Year in the East as well as America looking inward – one of those stunts the Russians love to carry out ….
Am I missing something ?
Tonight on GBNews there was discussion of whether the 12 billion pounds borrowed to be exported to ‘overseas aid ‘ should be diverted to reduce the domestic fuel bills . The current crop of politicians of all colours wouldn’t dream of it .
Just noticed Matt Price the ITV regional reporter who makes feature items that are PRasNews had blocked me on Twitter.
I wonder what for, have I insulted him ?
He couldn’t work out how to set RadioTimes to his region
I showed him how to.
He complained that is shouldn’t default to London, but should somehow magically detect your TV region
I replied RadioTimes DEFAULTS to London location
.. Just like British media reporting DEFAULTS to Guardianlalaland view
.. People then have go to great effort to find something more in proportion & perspective to actual reality
He shouted back “Blocked!”
… OK so he chose to build a bubbleworld , rather than listen to challenging.
OH look his next job is PRasNews promoting electric cars
#ElectricVehicles people – we need you! I'm working on an item about EV's and what 2022 has in store for them? Are you a #car dealer or maker? We'd love to hire a car for a day for some filming. If you can help please drop me a line to matthew.price1@itv.com
You’d think a single call to each UK EV supplier would elicit a tidal wave?

The de-Twittered Tucker Carlson monologue from yesterday that YouTube resolutely “couldn’t find” – found fugitive Brit “comedian” John Oliver from 9 months ago though and some Jimmy Kimmel…. (Right click to save vid)
Does anyone still watch that ? I gave up after series 3, as they’re all idiots who would have trouble finding their way to the end of the road, let alone run a business.
The star scribe at the Daily Telegraph is hiding his light under a bushel – or something. One might expect somebody with Evans Pritchards’s credentials to be consulted more often about the Clinton crew and his intimate knowledge of Democrat politics…. ?
No it didn’t. It ran into a sonar array being towed for hundreds of meter behind.
The BBC are starting to twist headlines into lies without even realising now. I suspect it has become such standard journalistic practice, they are doing it without thought.
It’s about the level of ‘The Sun’. Another indicator of the calibre of staff they now employ. It’s what happens when ability is not the main reason people are given jobs.
When Royal Navy frigate HMS Northumberland was tracking a Russian submarine in late 2020, it got a bit closer than expected. The AA hit the British plane’s towed target – a long tube fitted with sensitive hydrophones to listen under the water. And a TV crew, filming Warship: Life at Sea for Channel 5, caught the incident on camera, including the crew shouting: “What the hell was that?” The Ministry of Defence has confirmed the circumstances. It’s unclear whether the Russian vessel was damaged but HMS Northumberland returned to port in Scotland for repairs. There has been increased Russian submarine activity in recent years, and Royal Navy frigates regularly patrol the North Atlantic. A UK defence source tells us it’s unlikely the collision was deliberate.
They play the anthem in Thailand every evening at 6pm. People in parks stand still when it plays. Not because they have to, but because they respect it and they really do love their country. It’s quite strange to see at first because it would never happen in the UK.
BBC far-lefties like Lineker despise patriotism. It makes people stand up for things on principle instead of just doing what they are told. The jug eared idiot is unable to realise it is people like him who are making us more like North Korea. They would LOVE a totalitarian state – as long as they were in charge of course.
Then they could solve the problem of their politicial enemies once and for all. The ultimate ‘cancel culture’. Like they have tried to do throughout history.
Biden gave us a great insight to their true nature in his speech yesterday. Full of hate.
I wonder why linaker didn’t complain about the national tune being played at the start of national footy games ?
And I suppose he supports the ‘honours ‘ system – which does he have – OBE /MBE ?
Just to highlight what despicable scum the bbc are, supported by almost all in politics and media, ITBB is valiantly keeping on an actual newsworthy story.

More often than not it turns out the accusation is other media who use it a lot too.
Like the BBC.
Just went to BBC World and they are reporting what Paul said they don’t.
But mostly US anniversary stuff from a very particular corner and something about Australian tennis. Like, a lot.
If you’re wondering how on earth we’ve ended up with one of the biggest sports stars in detention and awaiting deportation – here’s 5 mins with all the details on Djokovic and his attempt to get into Australia. https://t.co/nCEpH0X9s7pic.twitter.com/CADo0K9btE
Could someone pls explain why by biggest strategic story of the moment – the violence in Kazakhstan – is prominent in German, French, other int'l media and virtually nowhere to be seen in UK (exception @FT). Barely mentioned on @BBCr4today or other @BBCNews domestic outlets
When i see stuff like that I wonder if it is at all possible to change the NHS and make it more able to deal what it is paid huge amounts to do?
I guess the medical mafia will play its ‘ usual emotional blackmail game to keep itself pampered and overpaid – ensuring the closed shop is always short of medics and always building a well remunerated hierarchy and management .
Any coming inquiry into the Chinese virus will make sure it doesn’t get into a position to criticise either the NHS or the medical mafia living off it …..
I think that mental clapping thing will provide an indication to ( sane ) future generations of the madness of this time ….
( I find myself using that ‘wtf’ terminology more and more- it used to be ‘surely not ‘ but that doesn’t make it anymore ) .
I suppose one of the reasons for all this is the transition of hippy -bred kidults into positions of influence / authority bringing the woke nonsense with them .
Hence the expression of approved emotions and offence in accordance with their conditioning …..
I was in a hospital waiting room the other day, they were running 50 minutes late.
Two ambulance men came in with a patient in a wheelchair. Apparently the usual procedure was that they wheeled him to the nurse who gave him an injection, then they took him home.
Rather than being released from that job and leaving the patient to a relief crew they stayed with him thereby keeping an ambulance out of service for 50 minutes and delaying all the other trips on their rosta.
No wonder there are ambulance ‘shortages’ and NHS ‘backlogs’.
The controversial deal saw Sir Tony face accusations that he had helped Mr Nazarbayev to ‘spin’ a massacre which saw security forces kill at least 14 during a protest over wages.
The former British prime minister advised the Kazakh leader on how to deal with questions from the Western media about the 2011 shootings, and suggested passages to be inserted into a speech Mr Nazarbayev was giving at Cambridge University in 2012.
Huw in full cry, showing opinion on polls can vary.

What is the racial makeup of London?
40% of Londoners are Black and Minority Ethnic and 37% are not born in the UK. West London has the highest proportion (48%) of its population that are Black and Minority Ethnic and 43% who are not UK-born.
This has to be the first time a modern sports star has got themselves banned for NOT taking drugs:
‘Djokovic’s father says player is being “crucified”‘ (Times)
As something of a connoisseur of tabloid headlines, one has to give props to the giveaway Metro this morning: ‘Prisoner Cell Djok H‘
The Aussies have certainly displayed a surprisingly quasi-religious adherence to covid lockdown rules – but let’s not forget that as well as being the descendents of convicts as us Poms like to joke, they are also the descendents of their jailers. His father claiming Christ-like religious persecution of Djokovic however, seems a bit strong:
‘Tennis ace Novak in a guarded room with no change of clothes, says dad‘ (Metro) – I don’t recall the lack of fresh undies as being one of the Stations of The Cross.
The BBC has one of those – “Look wot a crisis! Something must be done” – headlines, to which this reader has now become so accustomed that he simply shrugs and mutters – so wot?
‘Covid: Armed Forces send 200 personnel to support the NHS in London‘
I’d half expect to phone my GP and get some squaddie on reception insistently barking Richard Burton’s famous call sign from the movie Where Eagles Dare: “Broadsword calling Danny Boy” “Hello… is this Dr Moghal’s surgery?” “Broadsword calling Danny Boy” “Hello. Hello? I just need a repeat prescription, please?” “Roger that. Man down. Bravo Two Zero. Medivac is a no”
The Sun sounds the alarm: ‘FFS! Now Brit gets Bird Flu. A duck owner has become the first person in Britain to catch a deadly strain of bird flu‘ – what with the social distancing we’re still supposed to be doing and all that one can’t help but speculate how close one needs to get to one’s duck to catch something?
‘Scientists have for the first time reliably identified nearby animals by sucking tiny quantities of DNA from the air‘ (Financial Times) – my daughter had all her farmyard animals and most of her wild animals down to a tee by three-years-old, just by eyesight rather than sniffing their scent – by all means call us a rather modern urbanised family.
And what practical application might this – no doubt expensively-funded – expert scientific research have, we wonder? : ‘…they hope will lead to a non-invasive method to monitor biodiversity‘ – did you spot the vital buzz word there? – very handy to know your buzz words when applying for your scientific funding. But I suppose it would be better than getting invasive with wildlife. I do hope that duck owner didn’t get invasive. Talk about Love a Duck:

One is wary of the pedagogic editorial tone here. It smacks of the Guardian house style of telling the faithful exactly what they ought to think on any given subject.
Whenever there’s trouble in a far off land of which we know little, our thoughts tend to turn to: ‘Munich: The edge of war. It’s a must-see thriller‘ – as promoted in the formerly patriotic Times.
Having already reminded ourselves of the subject of both old war films and the strain on our public services due to millions of staff sick notes clogging the office in-trays, it seems the Daily Star fears there’s a potential understaffing crisis in the Berlin bunker:
‘Adolf Hitler forced to work from home after Covid outbreak at his office‘
Let me explain: ‘Namibian district administrator Adolf Hitler Uunona is named after the murderous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and has claimed in the past that it’s too late to change it‘ – apparently there’s little fear of cancel culture, snowflake offence taking or cringeing apologies being extracted with menaces over there in Africa.
Unusually there’s no Guardian in the BBC online press frontpage line up this morning. But their website goes with: ‘England Covid testing changes could hit low-paid workers, leaked memo warns. Exclusive: Health Security Agency chief set out risks of PCR test requirement for £500 isolation payment in December‘
The Telegraph meanwhile champions tax payers: ‘One million to be pulled into higher rate of tax‘
And the Express sticks up for pensioners: ‘Cost of living squeeze will hit over 65s hardest‘
You pays your money and you takes your pick.
Or perhaps you takes your peck – if you’re a duck owner?
“Let me explain: ‘Namibian district administrator Adolf Hitler Uunona is named after the murderous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and has claimed in the past that it’s too late to change it‘ – apparently there’s little fear of cancel culture, snowflake offence taking or cringeing apologies being extracted with menaces over there in Africa.”

Whilst trying to concentrate any attention to the ‘news’ to the more important stuff ( eg the likelihood of war) I got distracted by a story about GBNews .
Apparently during to colston trial a half wit at GBNews did an opinion piece about the actions of the defendants . The judge summonsed someone from GBNews with the prospect of ‘contempt ‘ charges …
…….anyway the excuse was that the duty GBNews lawyer missed the opinion piece and it went out . OFCOM will love this one – as does the rest of the enemy Left Wing which will build up any reason to kill unapproved thought . …
Apparently the defence in that case – the Far Left Doughty Chambers got into trouble with the judge about trying to link case to the wrongs of slavery as opposed to straight forward criminal damage ….
But they obviously succeeded ….
Elsewhere – earlier in the week there was a big fuss about the failure of the barking plod in ‘the met’ from detecting the serial queer murderer chapped who dumped the bodies near his home …
….. I found it interesting that the individual plods responsible for the negligence were not clearly named . I wondered why – so after 2 minutes of digging I found the list of names on the coroners report …. It was truly … diverse .
Apparently some of these inept / lazy plod have been promoted …..
“If I was Prime Minister David Cameron, I would stop it immediately, not next month, not next year – immediately,” Mohamed said. “Everywhere on the street you see Somalis chewing khat and they lose control, they don’t even know their own families. It’s like cocaine. I’m sorry but the people who chew khat … they are not human.”
Khat is hardly likely to be criminaled if the emir of londonistan is to formally legalise the spliff … where I live that was done about 5 years ago… man ….

Just spotted a banner displayed locally advertising NHS recruitment
Can’t help but notice the appeal: “Are you committed? Are you caring?” – in that order of preference – suggesting perhaps a required commitment and loyalty to the institution placed somewhat over and above care of the patients?

Local radio “coming up an interview with the producer of David Attenborough’s green planet

Guardianlalaland agendas are always pushed by the BBC
Councillors interviewed re throwing out wacky stats
“Most of the Carbon in the UK comes from transport
… 35% of the Carbon comes from heating our homes ”
… Hmm as far as I know home use is not the bulk of UK carbon
It’s all the factories/offices/government that are responsible for CO2 output.
Reporter : “Climate change as it says in the film is a real emergency”
item features Martin Budge, Climate Change manager for the council man …. “simple steps we can all do ..taking the bus, cycling, reducing our heating by 1C can have a BIG IMPACT ” (rubbish)
Reporter “but taking the bus costs most than taking a car load of people , what about that ?
council man …. “blah blah “..not answering the question.
Adam Fowler Hull Labour : “All our small differences will make a MASSIVE difference”
rubbish this is the Look after the pennies fallacies. Actually you need to save the pounds.
“small steps will make a big difference”
“We can at least try to stop the acceleration of Climate Change”
Is it accelerating .. you can only say that by cherrypicking special time slots.
“now councillor Darren Hale, doesn’t taking the bus cost more than parking the car”
Darren Hale “…blah blah .. Houses ! 35% of emissions comes from people’s homes ! ..”
“If people insulate their houses JUST SLIGHTLY ..it will save them some money and reduce carbon.. blah blah ..all do small things”
Reporter “you didn’t answer the question”
Darren Hale “…the buses ARE NOT expensive ..people think they are ! …blah blah”
“The new flood barriers are there cos the tides are rising”
hmm I doubt that they are .. Hull is a new place built on the marshland of the river Hull ..and councils kept giving planiing permission for houses to be buil on low land.
Summary “YOU making LITTLE changes ..will cause the environmental agency to dredge drains properly, and cause the council to stop giving planning permission for houses on floodplains”
The beauties podcast, Americast, from the BBC advances the case for the arrest and trial of Trump for the violent insurrection of Jan 6th.
I think this is on the cards.
The attack on Trump will come from several quarters.
For example, a speaker interviewed by George Galloway on Twitter predicted that Maxwell will provide evidence of Trump’s sexual indiscretions, bringing him down, and will be rewarded with a pardon from Biden.
Who knows?

What could cause an honour to be removed?
Your honour can be withdrawn (or ‘forfeited’) for a variety of reasons. This might include being found guilty of a criminal offence, behaviour which results in censure by a regulatory or a professional body, or any other behaviour that is deemed to bring the honours system into disrepute.
A decision to forfeit your honour can be based on events that pre-date the award (for example, a past criminal conviction, even if spent), or conduct that occurs after the award is made.

“Lord” Nazir Ahmed managed to stop me entering the UK in 2009 by threatening to mobilise 10.000 Muslims if I’d visit Britain’s Parliament to show my movie Fitna about Islam.
Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

I have just watched the 6pm BBC1 news with Hugh Edwards reporting about Novak Djokovic. This has obviously caused a dilemma within the BBC. They showed his mother (twice) saying how dreadful it is that he is imprisoned (until Monday?) and he must stay strong. The BBC are desperate to side with the elite who are entitled to do what they want (especially if they work for the BBC or are friends of the BBC. The BBC also want to support the human rights because that is how they support immigration. But on the other hand the BBC are strong supporters of vaccinations. I can see they don’t know which way to turn. It is so long since the BBC reported anything without first agreeing the line to take, they cannot do it. Dear BBC, if anyone from your organisation reads this post, just suggest to the higher ups that for once just report the facts and move on.

No more proof is required of the collaboration between the Democrats and the BBC than the endless coverage the BBC are giving to the anniversary of what they call the riot at the Capitol.
The BBC constantly refer to the “rioters” when there was in fact very little rioting.
The only person killed at the event was an unarmed women, shot in cold-blood by a police officer, I would call that murder myself.
Constant reference to the “lie” that the election was rigged with no back-up whatsoever and lots of evidence uncovered to support the claim.
Now why would they do this?
The answer is mid-terms…. both the BBC and the Democrats are quaking in their boots that things might swing in a direction they don’t like so they are carrying out a coordinated campaign of mis-information and hysteria along with the corrupt US judicial system and the FBI in hopes that people will be shooed away from a Republican resurgence and wipeout victory.
I think the Republicans will win back, Trump will be back and I can only imagine the penalties he might extract for the vile and lying treatment he has been given.
I also think the FBI would be in for a tough time too.
Bring it on!
I hope the night of the mid-term results is a re-run of the night of the Brexit vote, I would love to see those crestfallen, frightened BBC faces on screen.

In 2022 the BBC would have us believe that Britain had always been ‘black’ and their latest dramas push that falsehood. It is through films and the like that most of us get our ideas about history.
I was being sarcastic.
You are quite right that re-patriated colonials no doubt made up the majority of ‘Jamaican born’.
‘History Debunked’ goes into this matter further – why is the BBC obsessed with black people, why not Chinese, Indians or even the French? Why aren’t these ‘minorities’ promoted?

US Capitol attack: Rioters held dagger to the throat of America – Biden
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59898559
This video of Biden is extraordinary.
Firstly he’s slurring and faltering like someone who’s not even quite sure where he is.
Second the speech they have written for him is as full of hate as I’ve ever heard. It’s one long personal and very spiteful attack against Trump.
This is the kind of rhetoric I only expect from 3rd world dictatorships. They are clearly desperate now. And the BBC are pushing every word of it in our faces.
Even Lurch says:
‘Biden’s rhetorical shift could represent a strategic shift, as well – a decision that the Democratic base can most effectively be rallied with anger, not hope.’
Everything about Biden and the Democrats is lies. Right down to pretending he is in any way in charge. They are really showing us the true colours of the ‘tolerant’ Left now. So much for bringing the nation together : it’s more divided than ever. Could this be the trigger for unrest ?.

Stew, yes, I wondered about L/H drive and also illegal to have child in front seat. Then I looked a bit more closely.
It appears to be a Renault Clio 3dr hatch but I think it is a larger car. But it was the background that did it: it is summer! And there was no need for masks, outdoors, in summer in the UK. If it’s after 19 July, no need for masks at all. And no need to wear one in a car although you see people doing that in the UK. Well done on researching the US origin. But UK cars have tanks on the right as well. All my previous r/h drive cars did but they were 5-door hatchbacks.
The woman is wearing gloves. But the pumps seem all the wrong colour after the introduction of E10 fuel and the return to facemasks. Could of course be a family terrified witless by the endless Covid propaganda.
Well done Stew, though. You are the only entrant so you win the Grand Prize of Eccles’ piece of paper. Don’t spend that stamp cash all at once. And memo to Scrobie: am waiting for you to take the top of the Thread on another notch.

The mask thing
i imagined a situation where the woman felt she might have Covid
Say, if she was driving to the test centre
Then she might wear a mask even outside to ensure she doesn’t cough over other people refilling her car
Anyway she has to put on a mask to pay anyway and it could be she paid first and is now filling.

Russian submarine hit Royal Navy warship in North Atlantic

No it didn’t. It ran into a sonar array being towed for hundreds of meter behind.
The BBC are starting to twist headlines into lies without even realising now. I suspect it has become such standard journalistic practice, they are doing it without thought.
It’s about the level of ‘The Sun’. Another indicator of the calibre of staff they now employ. It’s what happens when ability is not the main reason people are given jobs.

Russian AA shoots down RAF plane
When Royal Navy frigate HMS Northumberland was tracking a Russian submarine in late 2020, it got a bit closer than expected. The AA hit the British plane’s towed target – a long tube fitted with sensitive hydrophones to listen under the water. And a TV crew, filming Warship: Life at Sea for Channel 5, caught the incident on camera, including the crew shouting: “What the hell was that?” The Ministry of Defence has confirmed the circumstances. It’s unclear whether the Russian vessel was damaged but HMS Northumberland returned to port in Scotland for repairs. There has been increased Russian submarine activity in recent years, and Royal Navy frigates regularly patrol the North Atlantic. A UK defence source tells us it’s unlikely the collision was deliberate.

BBC far-lefties like Lineker despise patriotism. It makes people stand up for things on principle instead of just doing what they are told. The jug eared idiot is unable to realise it is people like him who are making us more like North Korea. They would LOVE a totalitarian state – as long as they were in charge of course.
Then they could solve the problem of their politicial enemies once and for all. The ultimate ‘cancel culture’. Like they have tried to do throughout history.

I was in a hospital waiting room the other day, they were running 50 minutes late.
Two ambulance men came in with a patient in a wheelchair. Apparently the usual procedure was that they wheeled him to the nurse who gave him an injection, then they took him home.
Rather than being released from that job and leaving the patient to a relief crew they stayed with him thereby keeping an ambulance out of service for 50 minutes and delaying all the other trips on their rosta.
No wonder there are ambulance ‘shortages’ and NHS ‘backlogs’.

This has to be the first time a modern sports star has got themselves banned for NOT taking drugs:
‘Djokovic’s father says player is being “crucified”‘ (Times)
As something of a connoisseur of tabloid headlines, one has to give props to the giveaway Metro this morning: ‘Prisoner Cell Djok H‘
The Aussies have certainly displayed a surprisingly quasi-religious adherence to covid lockdown rules – but let’s not forget that as well as being the descendents of convicts as us Poms like to joke, they are also the descendents of their jailers. His father claiming Christ-like religious persecution of Djokovic however, seems a bit strong:
‘Tennis ace Novak in a guarded room with no change of clothes, says dad‘ (Metro) – I don’t recall the lack of fresh undies as being one of the Stations of The Cross.
The BBC has one of those – “Look wot a crisis! Something must be done” – headlines, to which this reader has now become so accustomed that he simply shrugs and mutters – so wot?
‘Covid: Armed Forces send 200 personnel to support the NHS in London‘
I’d half expect to phone my GP and get some squaddie on reception insistently barking Richard Burton’s famous call sign from the movie Where Eagles Dare: “Broadsword calling Danny Boy” “Hello… is this Dr Moghal’s surgery?” “Broadsword calling Danny Boy” “Hello. Hello? I just need a repeat prescription, please?” “Roger that. Man down. Bravo Two Zero. Medivac is a no”
The Sun sounds the alarm: ‘FFS! Now Brit gets Bird Flu. A duck owner has become the first person in Britain to catch a deadly strain of bird flu‘ – what with the social distancing we’re still supposed to be doing and all that one can’t help but speculate how close one needs to get to one’s duck to catch something?
‘Scientists have for the first time reliably identified nearby animals by sucking tiny quantities of DNA from the air‘ (Financial Times) – my daughter had all her farmyard animals and most of her wild animals down to a tee by three-years-old, just by eyesight rather than sniffing their scent – by all means call us a rather modern urbanised family.
And what practical application might this – no doubt expensively-funded – expert scientific research have, we wonder? : ‘…they hope will lead to a non-invasive method to monitor biodiversity‘ – did you spot the vital buzz word there? – very handy to know your buzz words when applying for your scientific funding. But I suppose it would be better than getting invasive with wildlife. I do hope that duck owner didn’t get invasive. Talk about Love a Duck:

The globalist corporate FT’s clientel are still apparently rolling in a bathtub of cash, like Disney character Scrooge McDuck. Prime frontpage advertising spot going to CHF 285,000 (Swiss Franc) approx £228,000 Bovet Battista Tourbillon wrist watches: ‘worn on a vegan rubber strap‘ no less. Of course it is.
The FT is not above a good pun for a headline – afterall, posh newspaper crossword competitions are often cryptic pun-based: ‘Steppe change. Understanding the upheaval in Kazakhstan‘
One is wary of the pedagogic editorial tone here. It smacks of the Guardian house style of telling the faithful exactly what they ought to think on any given subject.
Whenever there’s trouble in a far off land of which we know little, our thoughts tend to turn to: ‘Munich: The edge of war. It’s a must-see thriller‘ – as promoted in the formerly patriotic Times.
Having already reminded ourselves of the subject of both old war films and the strain on our public services due to millions of staff sick notes clogging the office in-trays, it seems the Daily Star fears there’s a potential understaffing crisis in the Berlin bunker:
‘Adolf Hitler forced to work from home after Covid outbreak at his office‘
Let me explain: ‘Namibian district administrator Adolf Hitler Uunona is named after the murderous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and has claimed in the past that it’s too late to change it‘ – apparently there’s little fear of cancel culture, snowflake offence taking or cringeing apologies being extracted with menaces over there in Africa.
Unusually there’s no Guardian in the BBC online press frontpage line up this morning. But their website goes with: ‘England Covid testing changes could hit low-paid workers, leaked memo warns. Exclusive: Health Security Agency chief set out risks of PCR test requirement for £500 isolation payment in December‘
The Telegraph meanwhile champions tax payers: ‘One million to be pulled into higher rate of tax‘
And the Express sticks up for pensioners: ‘Cost of living squeeze will hit over 65s hardest‘
You pays your money and you takes your pick.
Or perhaps you takes your peck – if you’re a duck owner?

Apparently the defence in that case – the Far Left Doughty Chambers got into trouble with the judge about trying to link case to the wrongs of slavery as opposed to straight forward criminal damage ….
But they obviously succeeded ….
Elsewhere – earlier in the week there was a big fuss about the failure of the barking plod in ‘the met’ from detecting the serial queer murderer chapped who dumped the bodies near his home …
….. I found it interesting that the individual plods responsible for the negligence were not clearly named . I wondered why – so after 2 minutes of digging I found the list of names on the coroners report …. It was truly … diverse .
Apparently some of these inept / lazy plod have been promoted …..

Britain fired up over khat popularity
British government looking to ban the stimulant, but many migrants say khat is part of their culture.
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2013/12/16/britain-fired-up-over-khat-popularity
“If I was Prime Minister David Cameron, I would stop it immediately, not next month, not next year – immediately,” Mohamed said. “Everywhere on the street you see Somalis chewing khat and they lose control, they don’t even know their own families. It’s like cocaine. I’m sorry but the people who chew khat … they are not human.”
…..
“United in diversity”, the motto of the European Union, first came into use in 2000.

Just spotted a banner displayed locally advertising NHS recruitment
Can’t help but notice the appeal: “Are you committed? Are you caring?” – in that order of preference – suggesting perhaps a required commitment and loyalty to the institution placed somewhat over and above care of the patients?
I further notice that “NHS Pension” is advertised as a saleable perk

The beauties podcast, Americast, from the BBC advances the case for the arrest and trial of Trump for the violent insurrection of Jan 6th.
I think this is on the cards.
The attack on Trump will come from several quarters.
For example, a speaker interviewed by George Galloway on Twitter predicted that Maxwell will provide evidence of Trump’s sexual indiscretions, bringing him down, and will be rewarded with a pardon from Biden.
Who knows?

A year after the Capitol riot, the people who were there tell us it’s still dividing America today.
US Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett calls it “an attempted coup” and says the country is “in an ideological civil war”.
Fiona Hill – a former advisor to Donald Trump – says the way many Republicans have responded reminds her of Soviet disinformation campaigns.
And Gabriel Montalvo, from the New York Young Republican Club, explains most people who went to the rally in Washington that day were peaceful.
Americast is made by Estelle Doyle and Phil Marzouk. The studio director is Emma Crowe. The assistant editor is Alison Gee ad the editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.

While he’s some brilliant work in the past that I hugely respect,
in the last year he seems to have fallen into a bit of a troublingly conspiratorial place, over nonsense surrounding the United States election and over vaccines.
Hope the old Maajid can return soon.

Having honours taken away (forfeiture)
Honours can be taken away from people who have done something to damage the honours system’s reputation. Taking an honour away is called ‘forfeiture’.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/having-honours-taken-away-forfeiture
What could cause an honour to be removed?
Your honour can be withdrawn (or ‘forfeited’) for a variety of reasons. This might include being found guilty of a criminal offence, behaviour which results in censure by a regulatory or a professional body, or any other behaviour that is deemed to bring the honours system into disrepute.
A decision to forfeit your honour can be based on events that pre-date the award (for example, a past criminal conviction, even if spent), or conduct that occurs after the award is made.
DJ and broadcaster Jimmy Savile was awarded an OBE in 1972, and was knighted in 1990 for his services to charity, giving him the title Sir. Savile is suspected to have raped 34 women and girls and sexually assaulted up to 450 people, including some as young as eight, according to an official report.18 Sept 2020

Diversity is our …
Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.
