Gab stern is Springster’s idol. Or, maybe, the other way round.
Too late, slime…
I reckon the government has directed them to start down playing covid .. perhaps in preparation for a new brand being ‘discovered’ ….
Saw something yesterday about a different strain discovered in Cyprus. Apparently some kind of combination of Delta and Omicron if I read it right
The big lie (German: große Lüge) is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth, used especially as a propaganda technique.[1][2] The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” Hitler claimed that the technique had been used by Jews to blame Germany’s loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie
As mentioned by The Lotuseaters in their video about Biden and Kamala Harris’s speeches about January 6th
Storytelling always leads to distortion
In last nights BBC4 prog about highwayman, the presenter spoke about how he found that 17th century highwaymen were always ruthless thugs.
One thing was the people they robbed; the rich were often thoroughly corrupt themselves. So there wasn’t full public sympathy for the victims.
Once the situation on the ground improved eg better roads, better guards etc. there were no more highwaymen in business.
and then arose distorted tales and songs about highwaymen.
Firstly all the tales became merged to be be about Dick Turpin
eg was not actually the guy who road from London to York in one day, that was someone else.
Secondly the highwaymen were portrayed as honourable and gentlemen. Since there were no more highwaymen, there was no day to day contradiction of this falsehood.
Then eventually Hollywood gets hold of the tales and distorted them even more.
We can see parallels in modern news storytelling in the way media portray the world how the want it to be, rather than ho it actually is.
Tony Blair!
Radio4 has a weekly charity appeal
How diverse is it ?
The last time a white male presented it was Thu 14 Oct 2021
that is 13 weeks ago

Radio4 now “Our new drama series set in India”
.. em it was broadcast in 2014.
…and then came the ‘off’ switch ….?!….
Q.1) Are all cultures equal? YES|NO
Q.2) Should Charles James Napier have let India’s Suttee to continue – widows jump onto fires when their husbands die to kill themselves? YES|NO
Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO
Q.4) If Charles James Napier had NOT stopped India’s Suttee and it cotinued in 2018, would you allow Indians moving to Britain to still practice Suttee as part of their culture in 2018?
Q.3) Do you still believe all cultures equal? YES|NO
“Be it so. This burning of widows (India/suttee) is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

For fans of “all creatures great and small “( the C5 version ) 2 further series have been commissioned … meanwhile on the BBC ….dross?
Wonder if C5 will ‘woke ‘ it more ?
I am appalled, truly appalled I tell you, at the lack of diversity on ‘All Creatures Great and Small’
It is so hideously white and able bodied and everyone seems to be heterosexual.
And so many working class people. Where are all the middle class Islington types? Where is the Mosque?
People seem to go to pubs. And eat meat.
And drive cars. Surely James Herriot could cycle or use public transport to get to the remote farms where he tends his animals. But no. He drives.
No wonder it is a huge ratings success.
When will the people of Britain turn out similarly?

Send the no doubt Soros funded boats away!!
It must surely dawn on even the dimmest people that the only way forward is to act/participate together to stop the abuse that shows no sign whatever of plateauing.
The BBC and fellow ‘Democrats’ denounce January 6 as a threat to democracy…ignoring 18 months of BLM/Antifa terrorism and anarchy that is set on destroying ‘America’…the Democrat’s proxy army.
If January 6 was an ‘insurrection’, which it wasn’t, wouldn’t that in fact be democracy in action in a way that is central to the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence which said that if ‘the Government’ was destructive of your life, saftey and happiness you should, and it is your duty, to abolish it….
‘”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness…..when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.’
And the Right to Bear Arms?
The BBC wants you to believe that the 2nd Amendment is confused and unclear….it is not…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42055871
‘Here, 27 simple words set the path to gun ownership in the US.
“A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
The fact that the sentence does not make grammatical sense has only added fuel to the debate about what its true meaning is.
Is the key part “a well regulated militia” – meaning that only people who belong to a militia should be armed? And if so, what constitutes a militia in the modern day? In 1791 it represented a group that armed itself against the British army.
Is the key part instead “the people”? And if so, who are “the people”?’
The sentence makes perfect grammatical sense…a US State has the right to keep an armed militia, and, each citizen is allowed to be armed…it is two intentions in one sentence…not hard at all to understand…unless you deliberately want to confuse the issue….as of course the anti-gun BBC does.
Here’s a take on January 6 that the BBC just doesn’t want you to see or hear….
9 minutes watched thanks . But I’m surprised that the Fox News presenter assumed the forthcoming elections will not be fixed again ..
pug, “And the Right to Bear Arms?”
what about “the Right to Arm Bears?
Not BBC – but ITV – the preamble to the Arsenal match – actor Idris Elba promoting a scheme to reduce the number of dead teenagers in londonistan – the 30 were mentioned but the ‘colour ‘ was only implied …
……maybe this year will be better – we have gone 9 days without business for the undertaker ….
… but I think it will take bit more than such a campaign – but gotta try something ….
They’re all parroting the same narrative, that the evil Tories have closed all the yoof clubs across London and poor Davonte from Peckham can’t dispel his violent urges with regular time on the ping pong table.
Although it’s true government funding was cut by £22m between 2011-18, what’s strategically ignored is that since 2018, Citizen Khan has pumped nearly 50 million quid into plugging that hole and local initiatives for young people are up tenfold from a decade ago. The result? A record number of fatal stabbings in the past year, almost every one perpetrated by a non-white against another non-white.
Of course, a stooge like Elba isn’t going to tell the truth about the real reason this is happening: the relentless annual importation of mainly young men from countries where tribalism and religious fundamentalism are the driving forces of culture, and human life is valued cheaper than in any Westernised nation on Earth.
Casciani on BBC TV news asylum seekers are given homes … sometimes the upstairs sewage pipe gets blocked, causing ceiling collapse, babies injured

“BBC investigation” since the article quotes charity Refugee Action I suspect the report actually comes from them.

Countryfile : “Tom Heap investigates the cost of BRITAIN’S ENERGY revolution, to rural dwellers”
That’s loaded language I don’t consider forcing INTERMITTENT expensive solar/wind onto the UK grid as a “revolution”
#1 Offgrid family with oil tank
#2 Emma ..single glazed cold home
..emm it’s not mentioned that is a narrow terraced house so should get heat from the neighbours if the houses are not empty.
Talk of heatpumps ..mention costly
need leccy
BBC only investigate things they want their version of answers to get broadcast.
Here is Sir Bandwagon being asked a question that would see Justin or Matt defenestrated from the W1A top floor.
I would have thought these green cretins would want energy costs to be going up in order to cut usage and ‘save their planet ‘… ( burn those hydrocarbons )
Give everyone a free NHS Cervix to keep warm at night?
Heap is one of the most insufferable dicks on this planet.
Given the competition in the BBC enviro news room, and impressive feat.
Now promoting Biogas ..as supplied by Green mafia guy Dale Vince.
..comes from AD those semispherical giant tanks where they ferment agricultural waste or maize bought in (ie it uses food land)
Heap asking the guy is it possible to tank it and send to offgrid home.
Doh that is not done cos it’s wasteful
Biogas is burnt on site to make electricity that is fed into the grid.
Jenny Hill is from the CCC (GreenBlob propaganda group)
“Hear pumps are 3-4 times more efficient than gas boilers” ..hmm that feels false
Heap “The tock is ticking on INCREASINGLY expensive fossil fuels
with our reliance on natural gas one of the biggest obstacles the UK needs address for a greener future
… We need to move to a low carbon world
making our home heating climate friendly is where this issue really crosses the threshold
It will be difficult and maybe expensive
… we shouldn’t leave rural areas out in the cold”
.. that is DOGMA not truth
Using more gas has been important to reducing existing UK CO2.
Gas is more efficient than leccy for central heating and hot water.
Replacing immersion heaters with instant gas heating, has reduced masses of CO2
It’s the cheapest way of reducing CO2
It’s wrong to say fossil fuels get ever more expensive
Over the long run they have got ever cheaper with better tech
It’s just government tinkering and taxes that push up prices
In a country that supports them, they are way cheaper than the UK is now.
So the title “Tom Heap investigates the cost of BRITAIN’S ENERGY revolution, to rural dwellers” is deceptive
Real title : “We have 3 agenda’s to push
– The biogas man wants to push his business
– The Climate Cmmttee woman wants to push Heat Pumps
– I Tom Heap want o push CLIMATE Emergency”
Then in the back to front way that TV is made they said ‘lets say its’ an item about rural energy and film 2 extra bits with 2 posh country women.
Like the hell can you talk about rural energy and not mention wood burning ?
..it’s supposed to be net zero ..it’s almost free .
Secondly those women should spend a few pounds on simple insulation
Really they should get double glazing, even the cheap DIY stuff
Things like wooden shutters and a porch too.

Countryfile woman Elise Wortley who researches FEMALE British explorers found a heroine Nan Shepherd.
What a surprise her friend Anna Flemming has a new book out about Nan Shepherd
Now they have gone back to Mollie Hughes another modern female explorer.
And here is Shepherd’s poem On a Still Morning:
“I hear the silence now,
Alive within its heart
Are the sounds that can not be heard
That the ear may not dispart?
As white light gathers all –
The rose and the amethyst,
The ice-green and the copper-green,
The peacock blue and the mist –
So if I bend my ear
To silence, I grown aware
The stir of sounds I have almost heard
That are not quite there.” (Shepherd 2020)

It would appear from that moronic claptrap that she herself “is not quite there”
Oh my … how convenient
CNN already wetting themselves – BBC sure to follow?
lol, I’m sure we know nothing and it might kill us all except that the booster gives complete protection whereas 2 jabs gives none.

Sinead O’Connor Net Worth
in Richest Celebrities › Singers
Sinead O’Connor Net Worth:
$1.5 Million
https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/sinead-oconnor-net-worth/
Early Life: Sinéad O’Connor was born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O’Connor on December 8, 1966, in Glenageary, County Dublin, Ireland. She has four siblings – John, Eimear, Joseph, and Eoin – and her parents, Marie and Sean (a structural engineer, then barrister), divorced when Sinéad was young. After the divorce, she originally lived with her abusive mother, but she decided to live with her father and stepmother in 1979; her mother died in a car accident a few years later. At the age of 15, O’Connor was sent to Magdalene Asylum, a Catholic Grianán Training Centre, for 18 months due to her truancy and shoplifting; Sinéad has said that certain incidents at Magdalene caused her “panic and terror and agony.” O’Connor later dropped out of high school and got a job with a singing telegram service in Dublin and began performing music in pubs and on the street.
Financial Problems and Other Controversies: In August 2017, it was revealed that Sinéad has been living in a $70-per-night motel in New Jersey after losing the majority of the fortune she earned at the height of her fame. Adding to her problems has been the fact that she was diagnosed as bipolar earlier in life and has struggled with mental issues most of her adult life. These issues have caused her to lose custody of her son in addition to experiencing other financial challenges. In January 2017, O’Connor listed her longtime property in Dublin for $1 million, which is nearly $1 million less than what she paid for the house in 2009. She was somewhat forced to sell the house after settling various tax problems with the government of Ireland.

Toby Young is wasting our time there.
If he can’t be bothered to use proper terminology then we can’t start the debate
He OMITS the MAIN category ‘boosted people’
.. and cherry picks a minor category instead
He says “The double-vaccinated are almost twice as likely to be infected as unvaccinated people
, data from Iceland shows.
This is the same pattern as found in data from the U.K.”
Then he shows us a graph which doesn’t use those terms !
It has DIFFERENT categories
#1 FULLY vaccinated WITH BOOSTER .. FVB
#2 FULLY vaccinated (that’s double-vaccinated) .. FV
#3 NOT FULLY vaccinated ..NFV
https://dailysceptic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/iceland-VE-1024×490.jpg
FVB gets half rate of NFV
but strangely FV get double of NFV ..that’s the cherrypick he chooses to mention.
There will be a simple explanation
FV is a special limited category almost everyone old is FVB
so FV is people who are young & feel vaccinated , so will take few precautions
a lot of NFVs probably take big precautions
a lot of NFVs probably have had Covid
That’s two reason why that category has lower than expected cases.

The Komrads in the BBC cannot cease their misrepresentation of Jews.
”The British Broadcasting Corporation sparked new anger among UK Jews when it demanded the identities of the teen victims of an antisemitic attack, the Jewish Chronicle reported on Thursday.
”“It is wholly unacceptable for the BBC to try to force frightened teenagers to reveal their names, particularly as there is film of the incident anyway. It is not part of a civil action. All they are doing at this stage is seeking answers from the BBC and an apology,” said Lord Alex Carlile, who teaches law at Swansea University.

At least 1,400 children were subjected to appalling sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, a report has found.
Children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, abducted, trafficked to other cities in England, beaten and intimidated, it said.
The inquiry team noted fears among council staff of being labelled “racist” if they focused on victims’ descriptions of the majority of abusers as “Asian” men.

I’d put it even higher than that ! most of the nurses at my local hospital are bursting out of their uniforms — quite gross actually, and the shame is they are all really young.

New Covid stats
The Wednesday 28th after Christmas continues to be peak positives day
but now as catchup data has come in last Tuesday is not far off
The fact we still haven’t passed the peak of the 28th is good
The death trend is steadily up
with days of about 170 deaths
but we do expect more grannies to die in the cold January weather, even if Covid didn’t exist
Smaller drop in infections, Stew, but those deaths – a big daily drop today.
You can’t compare a Sunday with a Saturday
Stats that come on Sunday were collected on Saturday
but the registrars don’t work much at the weekend
They’ll be back on Monday, so Tuesday’s tally will have a lot of catchup deaths.
School kids had a high case rate in September they made 50% of all positives
but by mid December they dropped to 20% and even touched 15%
Now they are at 20%
The 20s were lower than 10% once but they are back to about 20% now
Now kids are going back to school will cases go through them or will there be some herd immunity ?
Deaths NEAR covid?
TWoTWeeeee Watch #1 – Bash, bash, bash
It was a Labour Party luv-in for Jonny Dymond and the BBC on this lunchtime programme today. The BBC must have blown their impartiality out of the water on this occasion.
I wonder what TOADY will lead with on Monday, foghorning the policies of a certain political Party?
The disease and the cure have now parted company, entirely.
For most of the last two years, the official policy goal of many governments was “Zero Covid”. To that end, for example, Australia took extraordinary action: it cut itself off from the world, and significantly shriveled internal movement too, depriving Victorians of the company of New South Welshmen, if that’s the term.
Well, Zero Covid has been an obvious delusion for at least eighteen months, and is now impossible to sustain. So even Fauci and Boris have given up on the “Look, I think one last push will do it…”
So the policy goal of eliminating Covid has been replaced by one of vaccinating as many people as possible, and then vaccinating them some more: Once a year – no, once every six months (US CDC)… five months (CDC revised)… four months (France)…
Justin Trudeau was caught on tape musing on whether “we” should “tolerate” the unvaccinated. We now have the answer: No. Jean-Yves Duclos, Canada’s health minister, is talking about mandatory vaccinations: Not mandatory vaccine passports. Mandatory vaccine injections.
This would seem to be in explicit violation of the first clause of the Nuremberg Code:
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.

From: World of Wisdom
Society is lost. You cannot see your baby born or hug grandma goodbye.
We is set in the future. D-503, a spacecraft engineer, lives in the One State,[4] an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which assists mass surveillance. The structure of the state is Panopticon-like, and life is scientifically managed F. W. Taylor-like. People march in step with each other and are uniformed. There is no way of referring to people except by their given numbers. The society is run strictly by logic or reason as the primary justification for the laws or the construct of the society.[5][6] The individual’s behaviour is based on logic by way of formulae and equations outlined by the One State.[7]

In his last journal entry, D-503 indifferently relates that he has been forcibly tied to a table and subjected to the “Great Operation”, which has recently been mandated for all citizens of One State in order to prevent possible riots;[8] having been psycho-surgically refashioned into a state of mechanical “reliability”, they would now function as “tractors in human form”.[9] This operation removes the imagination and emotions by targeting parts of the brain with X-rays. After this operation, D-503 willingly informed the Benefactor about the inner workings of the Mephi. However, D-503 expresses surprise that even torture could not induce I-330 to denounce her comrades. Despite her refusal, I-330 and those arrested with her have been sentenced to death, “under the Benefactor’s Machine”.
