    Just watch.

    The next by election will almost certainly show a very large drop in the conservative vote and you can bet that the msm will blame it all on partygate when the real reason is the lack of real conservatives regarding mass illegal immigration/dinghy people, green crap, high tax, inflation, high energy prices, not doing brexit properly and so on.

    It will only be GB News telling it how it is.

      ti, not just Boris. All the invitees plus the Civil Servant doing the inviting were grown ups, adults with functioning brains. Have the BBC bothered to interview any of the 100 invitees who did not attend? Said to be 70 of them. Plenty of choice for the BBC. But no.

      There’s a stink about this whole thing. It might just bring Timmeh down.

      Has Martin Reynolds resigned yet? Will he face any disciplinary proceedings?

      I think we should be told.

    Drving back home today I noticed the familiar plume of steam on the Horizon which used to always come from the coal fired Fiddlers Ferry power station.

    With high pressure over the UK there is a gloom which doesn’t appear to want to lift wrecking solar output, and little wind either although the Grid appear to be claiming wind generation is continuing.

    • Sluff says:

      Just looking at the National Grid live status web page.
      Yesterday UK electricity demand went from a low point of 26GW at 4.30 a.m to 44 GW at tea time, 6 pm.

      All of that increase was met by gas with a bit from nuclear and the inter connector.

      Wind contributed a fairly steady 7 GW throughout but no increase during peak demand.

      The eco-fanatics never mention that wind energy is totally unresponsive to this demand cycle.
      And neither of course does the BBC.

      Fog is expected in the next few days. There will not be enough wind to disperse it. Better get knitting those woolly jumpers.

         18 likes

      • StewGreen says:

        @Sluff that is the way it works
        You can’t turn on extra wind when you need it.

        Media wrong equate INTERMITTENT-power like wind/solar with proper electricity which comes on demand

        #1 One of the ways WindPower is subsidised is that it has absolute priority market access.
        If wind can deliver, then the grid has to accept it and ask other providers to turn down
        #2 If the demand is less than wind can provide
        the wind corps get constraint payments to switch off.

        Thus early on the grid took the 7GW from wind
        and then as demand picked up gas plants turned up.
        Actually the gas plants charged us all more, cos their plant is running at lower efficiency than if it were allowed to run flat out for a long time.
        In turn I guess some gas plants buy gas on the spot market
        so that when wind goes slack for days that means the UK gas price gets pushed up.

    …. ZERO

    but then 34% didn’t even recognise Attenborough
    and 60% didn’t even recognise Marcus Rashford.

    I wonder if the BBC tried to be cool & went to South London to do the survey & hit an area where residents just watch Nigerian & Indian satellite TV.

        It seems the BBC think a party is reasonable grounds for a duly elected PM to be removed. I’ve never heard of anything so ridiculous since I learned the Democrats had 6 committees who sole purpose was to try and find a reason to impeach Trump. Which they tried 3 times.

        The political Left are dirty scum who have no morales or ethics in their quest to get what they want. They think their ideological ends justify any means. So did Hitler, Pol Pott and Stalin.

    I want rid of Boris . Not because of the endless combo of wall paper gate and party gate but because he has simply not delivered on issues which are important .

    The BBC License Fee should have decriminalised which would have rapidly brought the BBC to its knees.
    The Green Agenda madness should never have been talked about let alone implemented.
    H2S should have been cancelled and some of the money invested in improving rail services in the north of England
    The NIP should have been cancelled by now
    The law should have been changed to allow the UK to defend its borders more effectively.
    The culture war should have been prosecuted with much greater vigour.

      Double – I agree with all of those failed objectives . There are plenty of others such as

      Ensuring the UK is energy sufficient ( gas storage )
      Controlling borrowing – even in a pandemic
      Taking on the EU over Northern Ireland
      Getting someone to plan for the NHS in the longer term
      Reform of the self serving civil service

      There are many reasons for all these failures – but I think the major one is that Nut nut relied on the wrong advice – such as Mrs nut nut and simply does not have the analytical skills for the office – he is a dead clown …
      I was thinking – even if the party thing dies down it will haunt him from now on – he cannot be the optimistic happy go lucky character he has portrayed upto now …

        At the end of it all, Boris has brought it all on himself. My only concern is who they will manage to shoehorn in to replace him. We can pray for a true conservative but the BBC will do everything in their power to prevent that.

    Agree entirely also I think the country is sick to the back teeth of the diversity agenda which in reality is “give all jobs to black people” regardless of experience or qualifications, including broadcasting jobs even if they can’t speak English properly

    and the endless accusations of racism from the left: maybe have a long hard look at the so called racism and hate crime laws which allow rape gangs and other crime the flourish

    All white wokes who bang on about diversity should immediately give their jobs, posessions, university places, houses and partners over to black people or shut up

              Just on the subject, ‘Green Book’ is a very good film about a talented black piano player and racism in the South of the USA.

              It’s about the only one where they show racism as it actually is, not the left-wing virtue-signalling propaganda where all whites are evil and all blacks are saints. Even the main black character is brilliant but also flawed. It shames all the modern films.

              I would say it’s the only one I have seen about racism which I would class as believable in it’s context. Well worth watching if you are stuck for something decent. And does far more for the anti-racism cause than any of the absolute trash they usually churn out.

        The aim behind this over representation of black folks is the same as the cover up of the grooming gang rape cases , basically it is to make young white folks see the huge number of BAMES and multiculturalism as being a normal and welcome part of British society.
        The calculation is that when anyone born before 1970 is dead no one will remember what our country was like pre the invasion and great replacement and those alive will get on with trying to make the fractious mixture of cultures, religions and values work. This is why there are BAMES appearing in tv and film shows when there were none in the country, eg the Churchill film or the black Anne Boleyn . You can rewrite history but not memories , so us older folks are a nuisance to the agenda.
        History tells us that The chances of this great social engineering experiment ending happily are low and all the signs so far are that history is right!

          Sorry, wrong. It is to give assurance to our vibrant black and brown majority population that this country was always theirs.

          Our young white folk, being a minority of minority in the schools will come out “tackin’ lahk dat mahn”.

          Some may recall the BBC TV programme about youngsters moving from primary to secondary education in Birmingham. One white lad was scared that he was moving from a mostly black school to mostly white. I doubt if his younger siblings had that ‘problem’.

    Interesting pieces on BBC and Sky news…

    BBC doing a piece on a family who buried there dad on the day Partygate was in full swing. With harp music playing in the background ( vomit inducing) the journalist then asks the son of the late dad, I dare say you won’t be able to forgive Boris Johnson, reply, “well, not at the moment, I’m still a bit upset and angry”. Not the answer the the lump of Primordial Slime from THE BBC wanted.

    Sky ends a correspondent down to Boris Johnsons constituency to gauge the mood and ask random people there opinion of the PM now and hoping for a scoop and hopefully more doom and gloom for the PM, shock horror, he had to admit that the PM still had the support of over half the people questioned.

    At mad media moments like these – when Boris seems to somehow have got himself singularly scapegoated for all the shared sins of our pandemic nonsense – it’s reasonable to ask the question – is there anything else going on in our media… under the radar, so to speak?

    I think the somewhat self-aware tone in the Daily Mail sums it all up sufficiently: ‘What a day of drama! ‘ – that’s right. It’s just a political show to amuse and distract the plebs.

    The Guardian thinks it an important political point to tell us the story of a minor comic tv actor who has worked on BBC shows: ‘Rory Kinnear. On the day of No 10’s party I buried my sister‘ – sympathy and all that, but didn’t there used to people who did that for you… sextons or gravediggers? And in any case, surely your argument should be with the public health officials who made up all these daft inhumane lockdown rules and persuaded politicians to enact them – or perhaps the Chinese who originally dropped that test tube back in Wuhan?

    But I promised to look for other alternative horses still being rather quietly flogged to death in our press this morning.

    And the Guardian has a beauty which could well have been written by those sinister guys at the World Economic Forum who suggest in the near future – after the Great Reset – and when we’ve Built Back Better – us compliant plebs will own nothing but be happy nonetheless: ‘Giving it all away. The rise of the buy nothing movement‘ your borrowed goods apparently consisting of a potted plant, acoustic guitar, handbag and a power drill. I do hope all the consumer goods firms have green-lit this plan? Because in the future we’ll all be itinerant folk singer songwriters who cross-dress and do the odd bit of DIY on the side.

    Now when it comes to us being given stuff for free, some corporation or some institutional arm of government somewhere tends to benefit. NHS

    Not only that but they tend to grab the opportunity to push their approved narratives on us.

    Just sell us the products we want or provide the government services we ask for, I say. They rarely want to do that these days.

    The freebie newsheet the Metro’s advertisers are a clear case in point: ‘Beyond meat. McPlant. Our iconic taste, plant based. Vegan approved. Now available in McDonald’s restaurants everywhere‘ – so says the frontpage prime ad spot this morning. Plantburgers – not, one suspects, planted here by popular consumer demand.

    This one is erring slightly back toward the dread topic, but this feature in the FT exposes the sheer cravenness of corporate pharma: ‘Demand for self-test kits offers big opportunities‘ – we know what they are talking about – the potentially lucrative fear that has been officially instilled in the public. More craven than a series of John Craven’s Countryfile plus that heavy dose of Craven we had in the long-running Newsbeat.

    Let’s get back to some of those other oft recurring media memes they keep not-so-subtly pushing on us.

    Pyongyang Peril‘ (FT) – not a full-blooded criticism of the hereditary Communist dictatorship over there in North Korea: ‘Women at risk in crackdown on “black market breadwinners”‘ – more a globalist reinforcement of the notion a female’s place is in the workplace and we really didn’t ought to send them to jail. Ever.

    Don’t worry about any weird foreign autocracies and autarkies… it’s down with the Patriarchy, enlightened comrades: ‘Snip, snip… Vasectomies boom in the UK‘ (‘i’) – I’ve no idea whether that’s ture – but I do reckon, chaps, if we’re not convinced by something they put in the newspapers, they’ll put something in the water. By the way, I nearly did one of my almost trademark typos there and wrote instead of Snip Snip – Simp Simp. Now that would have been serendipity.

    Obviously, misogyny is a bad thing. Whereas miscegenation is double plus good: ‘Love beyond worlds. When romance conquers lack of a common language‘ (‘i’) – some come on, let’s have less of this “my partner just doesn’t understand me”

    Slowing population. Immigration will be the only driver of population growth in Britain from 2030‘ (Times) – and we want the population to keep growing because…?

    You are living in the 1984 book ….

    Marks and Spencer has changed the name of some iconic sweets after ‘hate speech’ fears.
    The new name comes after a University of Liverpool expert pointed out how it could be offensive.

    ‘It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn’t only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take “good”, for instance. If you have a word like “good”, what need is there for a word like “bad”? “Ungood” will do just as well — better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of “good”, what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like “excellent” and “splendid” and all the rest of them? “Plusgood” covers the meaning, or “doubleplusgood” if you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already. but in the final version of Newspeak there’ll be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words — in reality, only one word. don’t you see the beauty of that, Winston? It was B. B.’s idea originally, of course,’ he added as an afterthought.

    Man damages BBC headquarters statue with hammer

    _122690261_statue3.jpg

    There has been a campaign to have the statue removed for several years, because the sculptor recorded sexually abusing his daughters in his diaries.

    Police were called to the scene at about 16:15 GMT and the man was brought down about four hours later.

    BBC staff reported hearing the man shout “paedophile” as he struck the statue at Broadcasting House, which is connected to New Broadcasting House, the BBC’s main headquarters.

    The attack on the statue comes a week after four people accused of illegally removing a statue of 17th Century slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol were cleared of criminal damage.

    It happened during a Black Lives Matter protest in the city in 2020, during a widespread debate about the place of certain historical statues in modern society.

    At a time when statues across the country are being reassessed, there’ll be those who believe that if it’s legal to tear down a monument to a prominent slaver, as happened in Bristol, it is also time to do the same to an artwork by a man who committed horrific sexual crimes. If that’s the case though, where does it end?

    If that’s the case though, where does it end?

    Winston wondered vaguely to what century the church belonged. It was always difficult to determine the age of a London building. Anything large and impressive, if it was reasonably new in appearance, was automatically claimed as having been built since the Revolution, while anything that was obviously of earlier date was ascribed to some dim period called the Middle Ages. The centuries of capitalism were held to have produced nothing of any value. One could not learn history from architecture any more than one could learn it from books. Statues, inscriptions, memorial stones, the names of streets — anything that might throw light upon the past had been systematically altered.

    ‘I never knew it had been a church,’ he said.

    ‘There’s a lot of them left, really,’ said the old man, ‘though they’ve been put to other uses. Now, how did that rhyme go? Ah! I’ve got it!

    ‘Oranges and lemons,’ say the bells of St. Clement’s,
    ‘You owe me three farthings,’ say the bells of St. Martin’s —

    there, now, that’s as far as I can get. A farthing, that was a small copper coin, looked something like a cent.’

    ‘Where was St. Martin’s?’ said Winston.

    ‘St. Martin’s? That’s still standing. It’s in Victory Square, alongside the picture gallery. A building with a kind of a triangular porch and pillars in front, and a big flight of steps.’

    Winston knew the place well. It was a museum used for propaganda displays of various kinds — scale models of rocket bombs and Floating Fortresses, waxwork tableaux illustrating enemy atrocities, and the like.

    ‘St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields it used to be called,’ supplemented the old man, ‘though I don’t recollect any fields anywhere in those parts.’

    The ginger whingers are out in force today…Campbell is bleating ‘How terrible for you’ as redheads bemoan their plight. Maybe we should have ‘Ginger History Month’. What about the dumb blondes or the mousey haired ones? Do they get to complain about the ‘hate’ and get their own history month? I’m sure gingers, blondes and mousies have contributed a massive amount to our development in so many ways that need telling.

    Or maybe we should have a ‘Wool History Month’ or a ‘Coal History Month’…after all it is they more than anything else that produced the wealth and technology that spurred the industrial revolution.

    Blacks claim slavery is at the root of it all…hmmm..no…wool and coal were the major sources of power and wealth…the money from slave powered industry would have come even if we’d used paid workers…slightly less maybe, or maybe not, but it would have come…after all cotton came mostly from India originally…via paid workers.

    And consider slaves had to be bought, then fed and housed….so the only expense saved was some spending money….and wages were relatively low then so that wouldn’t have been a lot….so all in all slavery didn’t save a huge amount of money and didn’t in its own right produce the profits that the blacktivists claim.

    And coal…coal has destroyed the planet as the BBC tells us…er….hmmm…didn’t coal replace wood as the fuel for industry and home heating?…wood was becoming very hard and expensive to find as forests were cleared and the landscape treeless….so coal saved the forests and the environment and provided vital fuel for industry and homes….and eventually providing those crucial labour saving devices that the modern world runs on now. How many people want to handwash their clothes or farm using purely manual labour….try a bit of hedge cutting with just a billhook.

    The BBC’s views on industry, farming and the evil consumption are naive, simplistic and childish….they have no idea of what their climate demands actual entail…or worse, they do and they don’t care….they bury their heads in the sand and claim we can all be hunter gatherers of some sort living in harmony with the land and each other.

    It is the most toxic of fake news and misinformation…that they feed zealously to the kids…grooming and brainwashing them so that they will have an army of woke activists when they grown up.

    Funny how the BBC is so keen to destroy the coal industry, associated jobs, cheap and plentiful energy that heats our homes and keeps down the cost of living…but….the wicked Thatcher…need I explain?

    TOADY Watch #1 – watch out for the Law of Unintended Consequences

    It is something that Civil Servants and politicians are famous for overlooking e.g. Margaret Thatcher trialling the Community Charge in Scotland before the rest of the UK, especially before applying it in her own Constituency. TOADY (I managed only 40 minutes from 6 a.m.) are concentrating this morning on “Calls for the PM to resign from within his own Party” – with obvious pleasure in their voices – but also have to mention – through gritted teeth – that there is already a closing of Conservative ranks behind the Prime Minister with several making or Tweeting ‘public’ statements.

    I think if it starts to be mentioned out loud that what this really is is – an establishment coup against the British people – the Conservatives might be looking at another substantial win in 2024. Right now, the Labour Party must be cursing Blair & Brown, Cameron & Clegg, especially the latter pair, for the Fixed Term Parliament Act. There is a chance that by the time summer 2024 or December 2024 comes around this whole ‘Partygate’ affair will be forgotten or at least a fading memory. Am sure the BBC will remind listeners and viewers.

    Maybe Laura Kuenssberg and Pippa Crerar ‘should have kept their powder dry’ a while longer?

      I think the fixed term act has been abolished . Bearing in mind how quickly the news cycle moves it won’t belong befor something more substantial comes along which may well diminish partygate – although it will hang over nut nut .

      I watched the PMQ closely yesterday – and forced myself to listen to the likes of the awful traitor Roger Gale – and I can’t see enough ‘fury ‘ to actually get the 1922 gears moving ….

        Fed, Really? You could be right but I thought the Conservatives, newly led by Bojo, put forward a motion to the House for a GE and Corbyn was cornered because he had been calling for one for several month if not since June 2017. Labour had to say ‘Yes’ and the LimpUn-Democratics also wanted one because they thought there was a groundswell in the UK wanting to be back in the European Union.

        They called that one wrong!

        I note yesterday, despite his un-Parliamentary language, the Sucker now in charge of Labour did not call for a G-E but instead for the PM to resign. Labour are terrified of Boris Johnson which is why, with their collaborators, they want to get rid of him.

    “The great fear, according to one prominent director, is that “the audience stops trusting us. They begin to see us as a community twisting ourselves into a pretzel to make every movie AS WOKE AS POSSIBLE, every relationship mixed racially, every character sexually fluid, they decide that we are telling stories set in a fantasyland instead of a world they know”. The director added “If that happens and they decide to throw themselves instead into video games 24/7 we will lose them”.

    In my opinion Prince Andrew did have his way with Guiffre (spelling?) and he should come out and accept he was caught.
    However, the gangs of lawyers and others trying to get his money also makes me sick.
    If he gave everything away and declared himself bankrupt I think they would quickly lose interest.

    The famous photo of him and her with their arms around each other doesn’t look like she was forced into some terrible situation whereas, if you compare this with the enrichers who doused little girls in petrol and threatened to burn them alive, tortured them and told them they would ‘get’ their families then there’s no comparison.

    So where are all these tv pundits to stick up for these little girls and where is all the publicity like that which Andrew is getting.
    I’ve only seen Maggie Oliver on tv (GB News) but the rest of the msm….silence.
    Same with the police and politicians, tumbleweed.

    In New York where this case seems to be heading they are talking about £10 million for the girl.
    Think how much all the (tens of thousands) little girls in places like Rotherham and what they suffered. How much should they get in compensation.

    Does anyone know if the enrichers in New York (for example) are more or less allowed to rape, groom, gangbang and torture little girls with little or no consequences as they are here.
    You hear of 60 year sentences for Ghislaine Maxwell and yet I bet she didn’t mistreat any little girls.

    Does the New York law come down hard on these enrichers to stop them or is it hushed up there as well?

    Maybe the parents of any little girl abused by the enrichers go and sort them out vigilante style and that may stop them.

    I’ve heard of little girls being abused all over Europe and little is being done to those doing it but I can’t say I’ve heard about it in the USA.
    Is it being kept secret there or does it not happen.

      After everything I have seen and heard for the case, it is clear to me that she was a good-time girl who enjoyed living the life of a millionaire and didn’t mind opening her legs from time to time to pay for it. Now it’s all gone and we live in a world where women are innocent regardless of what they do, she has seen (or been shown by lawyers) a way to profit from it again.

      Despite what the feminists and BBC try to tell us, there are many such women in the world. They are NOT all ‘victims’.

      Andrew had a chance to sleep with an attractive, willing girl and like 99% of straight men in that situation would, he took it. He’s guilty of being a randy male having it offered on a plate. That’s it.

          I think you’re right, Fed.

          When I was ‘initiated’ into networking back in the eighties, when it was known as ‘touting’, and not the same as Andrew’s ‘privileged contacts only’ sort of chats, it became obvious that to get business, one had to learn what the client actually wanted, not what you ‘had to offer’.

          You may remember a great networking organisation – ‘Placemakers’ – led by the formidable Alan Bailey, who was the mastermind of all new-age networking lunches and events! He was a fabulous man, loved by all, and had been involved with MI5 with extraditing Makarios etc etc., and he was a personal friend and a super companion at all times!

          When he’d moved on to the networking presence with God, on high, his leftovers eventually got Andrew to come and ‘speak’ to the hallowed masses in the club. I didn’t go, but one of my best pals said it was the most boring, silly, ridiculous event he’d ever been to, and he would know as I rate him as one of the best in the business too, and most others do too!

          Andrew demanded beforehand, CVs of every attendee, as if he even had any idea what it was all about, and as such, the lunchers were somewhat bemused at such a useless wally, preaching bollocks, and trying to connect with normal hard-working professionals!

          The event was an utter disaster, and we all still laugh at the ineptitude of such stupid idea to get the bloke along on the first place!

          But then the blokes who took over Alan’s great business also thought P. Charles was the best thing since sliced bread, so it was a becoming a time to forget, mercifully!

          All gone now, thankfully!

    If only Boris had broken the social distancing rules by joining a demo and knocking down a Slave Trader statue instead of having a drink in his own back garden perhaps we would not have had the current furore.

    So what, s been learned from recent events surrounding the bBC

    1) The Licence Fee for them is an addiction just like heroin or crack cocaine. Getting them off it will be just as difficult as drug addicts.

    This was underscored by Mr Tim Davie’s affirmation of his relentless
    pursuit of demonstrating that the LF was exceptional value for money!

    2) They do not have a Complaints Dept. despite decades of commitment to the Complaints process. Bare faced liars .

    3) They are effectively utilising the LF to pursue an anti British agenda filled with left wing wokeism and tick box diversity programmes.

    4) They will act to undermine the Royal family.

    5) They are anti competition and work to undermine local news resources’ by using the LF…to effectively put them down.

    6) They detest the Conservatives and personally blame Boris for Brexit. They would do all in their power to reverse the will of the British people,

    7) They have strayed so far from their Charter obligations that they are no longer fit for purpose.

    And Boris/Ms Dorries…Bri tainwill be watching the progress of Peter Bone,s bill to abolish the Licence Fee and replace it with a subscription model.
    The points above say that that time has now arrived.

      Well said, St. Rubble!

      The straying from their charter is the key issue as far as I’m concerned.

      We’ve all had enough of their autocued opinions, they’re not supposed to show these. If they want to, then they should go to a commercial station where the public will agree or disagree, and management will decide whether they’re worth their wages!

    bBC – Past seven years hottest on record – EU satellite data
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-59915690
    “The Copernicus Climate Change Service said 2021 was the fifth-warmest year, with record-breaking heat in some regions.”
    Really?
    Tony Heller – “USA Today says last year was the fifth hottest year ever. That would be true if earth was only five years old.”
