    Covid stats are out .. The overall positives trend is only up 10% in 7 days

    But the deaths average for 7 days is upto 182/day
    Not terrible, but we were about 100/day a couple of weeks ago.

      The graphs of results by actual day are up
      so far there is no sign of a new actual peak
      It’s still the Wednesday after Christmas.

      Death trend is up and probably is actually about 180 today
      but the actual average for last 7 days was much lower maybe 145.
      The daily stats releases must have contained a lot of old catchup data for the previous week.

    Times : that impartial Justin Webb reviews a book
    Trump’s gone. Get over it
    Yes, he is a fake and a moneygrubber
    — but now it’s time to move on, says

    Book
    He begins
    To describe this book as mind-bendingly dull is not necessarily to criticise it. This stuff just is dull. Allegation after allegation of malpractice and malfeasance: complex financial ruse after complex financial ruse; tax fiddle after tax fiddle; conflict of interest after conflict of interest. After all, Donald Trump did indeed tell lie after lie about crowd size, brain size, penis size (the hands, remember?). On and on The Big Cheat by David Cay Johnston goes about Trump’s alleged financial misdeeds, expecting the reader to be . . . well, what? Surprised? Annoyed? Or just plain bored, as I increasingly was.

    The Times thinks that promoting hate of Trump is so important, the entire article is free outside the paywall.

    BBC creaming their pants.
    Covid deaths exceed 150,000.
    Cue a whole box of hankies.

    The first to die is featured. Guess what? He was a Muslim with TEN children.

    Now there’s a demographic driver the BBC manage to make no comment at all about.

    The fact that cases today were down to 146,000 giving a 7 day increase of 10% (so not exactly doubling every 2-3 days) rated no comment at all.

    Cretinous, pathetic, selective, doom-laden journalism.

    Tommy Robinson is about to release a documentary about this…no sign of the BBC covering this story….which is odd…constant coverage of the Prince Andrew allegations and yet the BBC seems to have gone back to its old ways of hiding far worse crimes committed by people of a brown persuasion.

    I feel like I am inhabiting some sort of twilight parallel universe. The News is being read by a BAME, who then interviews a ‘go to’ GP of Indian heritage in N London who has all the facts and stats about Covid and NHS waiting lists that a statistician would be proud of (why isn’t this GP doing his job instead of tv presenting).

    I turn over to another News Channel, again read by a BAME who chats to an outside reporter of mixed origin. Cut to the adverts – three consecutively are non white families endorsing products to entice us.

    Change to another Channel, and the voice over programme link is distinctly West Indian patois. I give up and find a Scandi drama on Netflix.

    I look out of the window to see if there is someone I identify with – cos I sure as hell don’t identify with what I am watching on tv.

      I presume Mike Yeadon. I can believe understand some of what he says….but…at the beginning of Covid, around May 2020 he was predicting that it was almost all over and left to itself ie no lockdowns or vaccinations there would be the occasional blip of small outbreaks. That isn’t exactly what is happening at the moment. And I can believe his idea that there is no such thing as asymptomatic transmission he didn’t like it when the studio guest asked him about a funeral she had attended where 16 out of 20(?) guests caught the bug. It is anecdotal apparently, even though she was part of the group. I have also understood that the common cold can be passed on for a couple of days before it comes out.

    PBS documentary about Algeria
    They just covered Madi women from the Ibadi Islam sect in who live in some areas like Mozabite.
    The married women are only allowed out wearing a big white wool garment that covers everything except one eye.

    The M’zab valley in central Algeria is Ibadi Islam, where women are generally only allowed to show one eye, & dress in white. Even Algerian men call them ‘ghosts’, they’re not allowed to marry outside the few towns in that valley. Captives. Nothing else accurately describes them.

      Tucker talks for 14? Minutes and covers areas of fact and thought that for all those 24/7 news MSM channels never touch .

      His view that language becomes more impersonal as populations rise and change really hits a spot eg
      Politicians saying

      ‘ community ‘
      Or
      Build back better
      Or
      ‘ the peoples ‘ this or that ‘

      The
      ‘ hard working families ‘ line has been dumped now as that was too specific

      Naturally all of these words are meaningless …

      … the piece by Neal Oliver about language of covid – earlier on this site also hits a similar area .

      I suppose – really – that the vast majority of people ( who can speak the ingleesh ) in the UK dont listen to politicians and its only people such as those who read or write on sites such as this one notice such things –

      Lets call it ‘ the peoples site ‘ for the ‘ informed community ‘ who want to ‘level up’….

    But what stood out to me is what a complete farce our legal system is. This is halfway down:

    ‘Ms Sebbagh was arrested in 2017 and investigated by police but the Crown Prosecution Service concluded there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges, the panel heard.’.

He had to drop out of school at 15 because there was no way for him to reach classrooms on the upper floors of the school or use the toilet. Before that, he relied on other students or cleaning staff to carry him and his wheelchair, but as he gained weight, this became impossible.

      Oh – I just posted the same thing :-).

      This report by another young female BBC ‘reporter’ is the equivalent in engineering where we put someone on documentation because they were not competent enough to be given the real work.

    100% ! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

    Newsround
    CBBC Channel, Tuesday 8 June 2021

    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

      Those ‘corrections’ (most of which conveniently appear to be in favour of the agenda and hence can be classed as blatant lies) should be on the front page if the original article was on the front page.

    BBC, Guardian and Independent all leading with the proposal to end mass jabs.

    Then all three immediately following with the claim that UK COVID deaths are the highest in Europe.

    Syncing like that is an amazing coincidence!

      Europe trends in the last 7 days
      UK has had 19 Covid deaths /million … ranked it the 24th worst country out of 47
      East Europe topped the list with a death rate typically 3 times the UK’s even 4 times
      Sweden is 46th (2 deaths/mn) , Gibraltar is 47th

      Overall deaths
      Russia 316,163
      UK 150,057, Italy 138,881 , France 125,348, Germany 114,652, Spain 89,934

      Deaths/million people so far
      UK 2,193 thus ranked 20th in the list,
      Russia is just behind
      Those Eastern European countries top the list ..some with more than double the UK’s
      Belgium and Italy are also higher than the UK
      France and Spain have a rate 10% less than the UK’s
      Sweden 25% lower than UK
      Germany about 30%
      Rest Scandinavia are at the bottom of the list, their death rate if a quarter of the UK’s or lower

      True magnitude CANNOT be seen by counting raw deaths; Life Years Lost should be counted (QALYs)

    Woman calls on drivers to help wheelchair users by parking safely
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-leicestershire-59894959

    Another very young BBC female journalist producing absolute non-stories about a young Muslim ‘Umaymah Dakri’ in her wheelchair.

    Umaymah conveniently gets stuck going down a kerb and has to ask strangers to help. I would have thought the camera crew would have been easier.

    This completely agenda-driven video has taken Heidi a long time to produce. And the public have paid her to do it. I will bet my hat that not a single driver changes where they park as a result.

    The BBC churn out this pointless in-flight magazine tripe by the bucketload. One more reason they should have to compete for their funding.

      “Trying to stop the election from being stolen” she means – and the gods shut her up .

      Funny how there was no ‘ in depth ‘ investigation by any MSM / BBC to find out why these people were so sure of the election fraud …?

        I find it simply amazing that such a large percentage of the population believe some fraud took place and the only response from the Left has been to call everybody liars.

        And what is even more amazing is that they say the claims of election fraud are a threat to democracy !.

        They could have nipped this in the bud and they chose to shout down the accusers instead. That’s the main reason I believe they are guilty.

        And the ‘impartial’ BBC have refused to publish any articles whatsoever on the subject. They have ‘cancelled’ it along with Trump. Even when there is clear evidence to support it. Just what do they think gives them the right to do that ?.

          It certainly shows the power of the MSM – they can bury election result which are not ‘approved ‘ – they can start ‘panic buying ‘ , frighten the living daylights out of people with a virus –
          But as we saw with project fear and brexit – it is never ‘all powerful ‘…
          ……..I really think that those setting the editorial policies for the BBC/ MSM – some times with the connivance of the government – use the Goebells playbook to achieve their aims ….

            We complain and joke about it, but I honestly feel like we are living through the rise of the modern day Nazis. The events in the USA – where the Democrats are now openly going for the man, not the ball – are difficult to believe. And the MSM are not saying anything about it because they agree with it. The last time the USA was this divided, it started a civil war.

            We can only hope that democracy rescues us before they manage to dismantle that completely. We’ve seen what the ideological Left do when they have total power. They believe the ends justify any means. They get rid of their political enemies.
