“A cinema owner who admitted breaching Covid rules has been asked to clarify the grounds of an appeal.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-59977419
I can think of someone else who has been breaching Covid rules .
The BBC gleefully report the scary numbers of people dying ‘WITH’ Covid, ok not just the BBC but they’re the cheerleaders for sure. Also this sentence is a thinly disguised attempt to keep this post something like on topic.
‘With’ Covid? This anomaly has been discussed many times by a bunch of conspiracy theorist, no one is trying to trick us are they?
….
My uncle died a few days ago. He was tested positive with Covid about three weeks ago although he had no symptoms. What he did have was…
A unary infection, hyperglycaemia (or was it hypoglycaemia), multiple organ failure, dangerously low blood pressure, he had bowl problems, skin infections, a throat problem that meant it was almost impossible to eat or even drink, he was old and as frail as one can be and still be alive. On his last few days the poor bugger even had toothache.
How he hung on for as long as he did with his ‘end of life, keep him comfortable, we can do no more’ type of care I don’t know. We were told several times over the last few weeks ‘it’s a matter of hours now’. Finally he gave up the fight and is thankfully at rest.
So, what do you think was reported as his cause of death? What did he died ‘OF’, not even ‘WITH’?
I complained.
‘The BBC isn’t going to stop until he’s gone’: Senior Tories hit out at ‘outrageous bias’ in Beeb’s ‘unbearable’ coverage of Boris Johnson’s apology for No10 party
Any on Jeremy Corbyn supporting Hamas then having a party of eight? Plus Corbyn still not saying if he had a jab yet. They looked from Labour to Tory, then Tory to Labour and could not tell any difference.
Yes, much as I’ve not been impressed by Boris’s premiership or how he’s tried to cope with covid, the BBCs constant and unbalanced coverage is a disgrace.
Actually the Beeb aren’t just unbalanced, they’re bloody unhinged!
Look, I think Bo-Jo has sometimes appeared to be shifty, shambolic, deceitful even. I thought the lockdowns were ludicrous and I’m not impressed with his love affair with green issues.
However, all that pales into insignificance when compared to a parliamentarian who appears to have been flogging himself to the Chinese for a couple of years. That should have the utmost scrutiny.
Boris seems to be a disorganised, muddle headed, out of his depth schoolboy. He may have enjoyed a glass or two of Chardonnay in his garden.
No not a traitor, but he would be if given the chance and it was the easiest option.
That’s the problem with cowards, they run towards whoever appears strongest. Boris holds no loyalty to anyone or anything, we saw that in his behaviour over Brexit and the disgraceful way the Tories marginalised UKIP in the referendum to give Boris primacy.
Boris alas is such a coward that he won’t take on the BBC because he’s scared of them. He is the architect of his own downfall and for me it can’t come soon enough, alas that he is likely to be replaced by yet another left wing clueless duffer.
For some reason, this reminds me of the bbc and wokes in general:
The donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green .”
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.”
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.”
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue…”
The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied, ′′You’ve known and seen the grass is green.”
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!”
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
I may be a bit late to the party (heugh heugh), but didn’t Boris tell the Chinese that they couldn’t run the Great Britain mobile network a couple of years ago?
What happened to all that? Did the Chinese back off, or are they still in the frame?
In my street is a Paramedic and his wife who is a practice nurse in a surgery……Nice people but rabid lefties.
Yesterday we met outside when we were both putting our recycling out, he approaches me and says ” effing Johnson what a bast–d “, there’s me and my wife putting our life on the line to help people and to get them through the Pandemic,very noble I thought.
Then I had to remind him that he held two illegal parties in his house during lock down and on one occasion he was reported to the police by a very elderly neighbour.
His response was, ” I work bloody hard so I’m entitled”, grunts and walks off…
I wonder what will happen when the red labour ( PRC branch ) win the UK election and they find there isn’t the money to buy off the public sector – chiefly the medical mafia and teachers ?
Just think – Blighty is already borrowed upto the hilt – inflation is rising with interest rates bound to follow – and in a couple of years all those public sector aspirations will fall on the Labour Party ….
… this is a worst case because I think the next government will be a hung one and not able to do much …. .
… I assume – here – that there is not newer brand of the Chinese virus —- imported by a paid for MP ….
Talking of paid for MPs – how is that privy councillor and party leader Eddie Davey doing with his Chinese bungs …. Don’t hear much ….?
“Novak Djokovic: Australia cancels tennis star’s visa”
As I posted previously, there has been more ‘ho ha’ in the media with one man entering Australia than 28000 illegals getting into the UK,
We need an Australian Border Force.
simples.
Great idea Tasman.
Close down the entire totally useless Home Office immigration department and use the savings to outsource it to the Australian government.
There was much press years ago regarding Lunar House officials having given out resident status, complete with at least one NINO, to immigrants from their own natal country.
As I’ve asked before to no avail, why are the ‘Downing Street officials’ getting away Scot free? We now here there was a party the day before the Duke of Ed’s funeral and Boris may not have even been in the building.
I knew civil servants had jobs for life and rarely if ever face redundancy. But I didn’t realise they are also unsackable and that normal definitions of gross misconduct don’t apply to them.
And from the Boris Bashing Corporation on this ? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
EVERYTHING is BoJo’s fault, according to slaggy-looking Angie. If Russia invades the Ukraine it will be BoJo’s fault, in her eyes. I’m surprised she hasn’t accused him of creating Wuhan flu!
Dare we suggest that while Labour were advocating more lockdowns, Boris largely kept the economy open at the back end of last year?
Because hidden away in BBC coverage (a throwaway line at the end of the business report at 0720) we have this.
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s economy grew by a much stronger-than-expected 0.9% in November, finally taking it above its size just before the country went into its first COVID-19 lockdown, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.
The world’s fifth-biggest economy was 0.7% bigger than it was in February 2020, the ONS said.
Big day today .
Peter Bone brings his Bill to end the TVLicence and replace it with a subscription service to the House of Commons .
Will the BBC report this – even with a sneer? Will anyone else in the MSM report it ? How badly or well will the Bill be received .
Many writing on this site regularly call for action . Well today there is some . We will get some indication ( maybe ) of how the 79? Majority blue labour government is thinking .
Mr Bone ‘s bill will fail – ( sadly ) but at least we can see that some politician is thinking and doing something about the evil BBC …..
…….I forced myself to listen to the BBC news – running list –

Chinese spies corrupting labour MPs
Someone tell me how that prioritising isn’t evidence in itself of BBC values ?
Taffman thank – I am not very good with cutting and pasting type stuff – but here is a cut and paste of the Bill –
A BILL
A Bill to abolish the BBC licence fee and make the BBC a subscription service; and for connected purposes.
BE IT ENACTED by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
Abolition of the licence fee
Part 4 of the Broadcasting Act 2013 (licensing of TV reception) is repealed.
Duty to renegotiate BBC Charter and Agreement in order to establish subscription service
The Secretary of State and the British Broadcasting Corporation must seek to 5 renegotiate the BBC Charter and Agreement in order to establish the BBC as
a subscription service.
Power to made consequential provision
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations made by statutory instrument make provision consequential on the repeal in section 1. 10
(2) The power to make regulations under subsection (1) may (among other things) be exercised by modifying any provision made by or under an enactment.
(3) Regulations under this section—
(a) may make transitional and saving provision;
(b) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.
Extent, commencement and short title
This Act extends to the whole of the United Kingdom.
Section 1 comes into force at the end of the period of one year beginning on the day on which this Act is passed.”ENDS
‘Under-fire PM in isolation as family member “tests positive”‘ (Metro)
I sense the giveaway urbanite paper’s employment of scare quotes there tends to reflect our mutual scepticism.
Boris has no doubt taken a leaf from Sir Keir’s playbook – when the going gets tough – the weak politician gets covid – or at least gets it by proxy.
It’s not just politicians who have found convenience in the advent of the great Chinese koof.
High street banks which found their high street branches a tedious distraction from money making have further weaned their customers away from reality and got them online.
Supermarkets have smiled at the lockdown closures of their smaller local rivals and, like the banks, not wishing to handle so much of our grubby cash have shepherded more of their flock of customers toward self-service and card payment for our groceries.
Don’t even get me started on big pharma profits.
I could go on. But let’s check today’s Financial Times for hints as to the mood of the big globalist corporates and their supranational cronies.
‘TPG stock surges on market listing‘ (FT) – TPG? I’ve heard of the famous brown HP Sauce. Houses of Parliament Sauce, apparently. And we’ve certainly had to stomach a fair dollop of that lately.
‘TPG Capital, previously known as Texas Pacific Group, is an American investment company. The private equity firm is focused on leveraged buyouts and growth capital. TPG manages investment funds in growth capital, venture capital, public equity, and debt investments‘ (thank you Wiki)
‘London’s tech groups pull in $25.5bn amid voracious appetite for start ups‘ (FT)
‘Von der Leyen bullish over EU directive… president is optimistic that Europe will be able to unblock delayed legislation this year aimed at boosting women’s representation in corporate boardrooms‘ (FT) – I’m sure that’s the main concern on european minds at the moment (sarc).
I take a keen interest in the cultural flavour of the prime frontpage advertising spots in our press. The copy for today’s example from Interos a US software company found on the cover of the FT reads rather sinister-sounding: ‘The Art of War now comes with a map. Sun Tzu wrote the what. Interos can show you the how. We map supply chains in 3D and in real time. Know all your opponents moves before they know what’s even possible. Outflank your whole industry and gracefully accept their surrender.‘ – no wonder the Chinese have run rings around Europe and the US and no wonder our politicians wish to ape their tactics. However, I note Sun Tzu, bless him, is silent on the subject of promoting females onto your senior council of war.
One more from the FT, lest you imagine it’s just me that’s gone full globalist conspiracy theory nut: ‘The Davos danger gauge takes on a green tinge‘
So, presumably, I can actually relax about: ‘Russian threat to Ukraine persists after talks with west hit “dead end”‘ – ignore as a mere passing distraction: ‘Chinese agent rattles nerves… “to advance the {Chinese Communist party’s} agenda in UK politics”‘ – and instead just worry myself sick about global warming.
If Slimy Barry Gardiner says he had no idea she was a security threat, why was he in contact with the security forces regarding his Chinese lady spy and her son who he employed for several years?

Fuel on the number 10 fire . The inquiry whether there were parties in number 10 drags on – so we are in a mad – mad – situation – where there are new revelations of parties involving the kidults running the government – whether nut nut was involved or not .
So the inquiry gets longer and longer . How long can nut nut hide behind hit ? How long can the ludicrous inquiry be dragged out ? Why can’t the inquiry lead give some indication as to how long this nonsense it going on ? How much longer has nut nut got with his expensively furnished flat before the removal van arrives ?
I think there will be even more revelations over the weekend and maybe nut nut will be gone next week .
Forgive me for asking this because I am a bit out of touch with UK news – but is the Barry Gardiner corruption case – Chinese spying in the House of Commons getting much coverage . ?
How much damage could mr gardiner have done to – say – the nuclear industry ?
Why was he selected by the Chinese ?
What has he said ? What has his Party said ?
How many more overpaid MPs been bought and paid for by the Chinese or other enemies ?
To me there seems a frothy fixation with parties – princes and a foreign tennis player – as they say WTF?
( when I used to watch BBC political programmes Barry Gardiner was a regular Labour mouthpiece rolled onto the airways – now we find out his BBC expenses was supplemented by Chinese bungs )
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this endeavour since 1782. As such, the Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the United Kingdom. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/about
Maybe the BBC is ‘doing a Rotherham ‘ ( again ) by being more concerned about potential hurty feelings of resident UK Chinese than that a leading labour MP has been bought and paid for by the PRC …?
I can’t think why such a serious and disturbing story should be treated so lightly and avoided ….anyone better ideas ?
One of the things that has been tantalising the Westminster politico-media nexus is who in the media attended a Downing Street party. James Slack, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of The Sun, was formerly Downing Street’s director of communications. Any coverage or lack of coverage of partygate by The Sun has therefore been seen by others through the prism of his current and previous roles.
Public money pays for Boris Johnson’s £100k personal photographer
Boris Johnson’s personal photographer is paid £100k pro rata from taxpayers’ money on a part time contract, Channel 4 have revealed.
“Pro rata” 100K = £2K/week
= £400/day
So you go to the trouble of getting all your security passes, paying for your travel, and paying for your equipment etc.
Then you get a few days work a month at £400 per day
is that excessive for London ?
Or would you want the Chinese to pay his salary instead ?
You have to watch the Channel4 report to see another accusation.
That in in spare time the photographer takes photos of Boris that he sells on image libraries.
One would hope that if there are big profits this should be funnelled back to the taxpayer.
The Channel 4 report doesn’t say how many days/year the photographer works for No 10
It does say that he is the only photographer in the room. cos of Covid regulations.
9am local news, there a difference in the two radio stations.
One led with their Bump Boris campaign
“There were more parties ..even among strong supporters there is anger .. here’s a vox pop
… Next a local murder trial”
Second Station
“- Local covid cases are falling except for Hull
– More parties “… then a clip from London which ended by saying Botris seemed to be away at the time.
Why did the first station’s report not mention that ?
Already there is a big difference in narratives for the original May 20th event
Anti Boris : “he was enjoying boozy parties all the time”
Boris : “I came downstairs there were people in the garden, I talked to them for 25 minutes and went back to work”
10am news
The second station has been brought back into Correct Speak
News opened with Boris man bad ..parties etc.
went into local MP criticises Jacob Rees Mogg
then only at the end said “It’s thought Boris was away at the time, but Labour say : The buck stops with him”
Item #2 was Djokovik man bad
Item #4 “local sign language firm has the contract for the new Strictly tour”
They then played the clip of the owner, who of course is deaf, so you can’t understand what he was saying.
The previous lead item about local falling Covid numbers was dropped completely.
In a statement on the embassy’s website, a spokesman said: “China always adheres to the principle of non-interference in other country’s internal affairs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59990451
Apparently there was a Downing Street party on April 16 th 2020.
Given that Boris was in intensive care the week before and was recovering and not even in Downing Street, it seems a bit harsh to point the finger at him for that one.
Not that that will stop the BBC, remoaners, Guardianistas, and leftoids from so doing.
Meanwhile the partying civil servants remain untouchable and unsackable.
BTW Our local news ended the report
“It’s thought Boris was away at the time, but Labour say : The buck stops with him”
============
” On the evening of Friday April 16 2021, Britain was in a period of public mourning for Prince Philip
… Mr Slack finished work for the last time in Downing Street”

I want to apologise profoundly to the British people for this innocent mistake and I can imagine the hurt and anguish felt by hundreds of readers.
I will be setting up an enquiry into my conduct, to be overseen by a top civil servant, if they can drag themselves away from whatever party they are currently enjoying.

Barry Gardiner bribe case(allegedly) has been kicked into the long grass already by all the media. Get rid of Boris campaign still in full swing . Its a Bl**dy disgrace. So much more going on than a party? that happened 18 months ago. Also can you remember what you were doing in May 2020. 2020 was a none year as far as I was concerned.
I despair!!
I was a little puzzled watching last nights question time. Up came the subject of the royal randy boy and Labour’s Jess Phillips and another token lefty lady both went overboard in their support and sympathy for the poor suffering Lady Monarch. I thought Phillips was going to break into a chorus of “Rule Britannia” for a while….
Odd I thought, what could have brought this transformation to our usually anti-royalist populist commie?
This morning the answer was on every front page.
“Nasty Tories held a massive booze-up the night before the Ex aged Prince Philip was due to be planted.”
I conclude that the supercilious Phillips knew that this was to break and put the knife in early for maximum impact!
A complete and devious sham in fact!
What a nasty lot Labour are, I hope they continue to dwindle until they can hold their conference in a bus shelter.
Digg
Brave of you to watch that. I didn’t realise people still do . Anyway – I disagree on your point about our Jess . Her job is to get power by whatever means – and if that means pretending to support Elizabeth Windsor – or even her boy – then so be it .
At the moment – as the Chinese virus situation improves- and the economy recovers – even a bit – before the coming recession – Phillips and her BBC know they must act hard and fast .
Luckily for her the blue Labour Party is busily self destructing because of nut nut and his kidults ..
It’s sickening listening to the bbbc radio newcastle frenzy trying everything to get Boris sacked.
Using the Queen and Phil’s funeral to make it appear worse is real dirty tricks presented as news.
Even though he wasn’t there they are saying “the buck stops with him as he’s at the top”
Can we expect Starmer to resign as he has a Chinese spy working for Gardiner because Starmer is at the top and “ the buck stops here” surely applies to him as well.
Of course, it will not, we all know that.
Why don’t the Conservatives fight back at this openly plain to see attempt to bring them down.
Regular ‘leaks’ scheduled to cause maximum damage being fed to the media. It’s not as if it’s news and happening now, it’s an attempted coup.
If any bbbc office has had any kind of office party can we expect their director general to resign.
Of course not.
While I disagree with the direction Boris is now going in (lefty green princess influenced) this witch hunt is stomach turning.
Usually, after the initial phase, the public start to change opinions and apart from the ones the bbbc find to be disgusted by these office parties I would guess many will start to realise they are being played.
It’s just by finding some people who have had relatives die at the first party date and connecting the Queen to the second that these parties are currently bad news. Generally people care less about that stuff and more about real problems such as mass immigration and energy prices.

Listening late on GB News last night; BBC making big changes to its output. NIGEL REES was interviewed as the latest casualty of the BBC purge mentality. He was a BBC Radio 4 presenter for 46 years of traditional ‘thinking’ radio of the ‘Arts and literature’ has totally ‘given-up’ on the BBC. He stated on GB News that the BBC has gone over the top of forcing ‘diversity and inclusivity’ as forced identity political ‘prescriptions’ imposed by new BBC executives as a form of mass internal censorship.
He says it was the last straw when he was told his small radio discussion program should now include the visibly ‘disabled’ and ‘persons of colour’ on his Radio 4 radio show. When he pointed out that Noel Coward was going to be featured and discussed, most famous for the song ‘Mad dogs and Englishman, go out in the midday sun…” among his other works, he was told by the BBC executive, that he had to consider ‘Cultural attributes’ as being ‘representative’ of BBC diversity. Even though it made no sense to the program, to label participants as black or disabled, that is what the BBC wanted to include.
Daily Mail + Sunday Times Radio 4 presenter Nigel Rees has revealed he quit the BBC after 46 years because he felt pressured by the corporation’s focus on diversity.
The 77-year-old, who had presented the Quote… Unquote panel game since January 1976, left the show last month.

It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination. https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slavery_1.shtml

Australian court is holding “directions hearing” on Djokovic case
.. If the minster thinks he is dangerous, why did he allow him to roam for 4 days ?
Why decide on a Friday night ? that makes it look like the timing is deliberately obstructive.
Djokovic’s team is arguing that an exception has to be made and that the appeals court should sit over the weekend and fully decide the matter.
Sure the minister can use an arbitrary power but is it proportionate to the public danger ?
He can’t remain free while the appeal is going on
the Australian Border Force will interview him at 8 am Sat. local (Fri. 8pm UK time) at an undisclosed location “agreed between the parties.”
At that point, Djokovic will be officially detained by border officials & escorted to his lawyers’ office while case is heard.

The Morning Star is no fan of the role private donations play at Westminster. But with OpenDemocracy having revealed last year that just 10 super-rich tycoons were responsible for a fifth of all political donations in the country over the last two decades, Lee’s donations look like small beer. https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/why-we-shouldnt-fall-chinese-influence-scare-westminster
Lee’s donations look like small beer. = SO LET’S IGNORE IT.
Open Democracy is a Soros front
It’s not really worth getting interested in top 10 donors
cos big boys have clever ways to funnel money.
eg you think UK environment policy is decided by your vote, but US foundations donate to other foundations who then donate to Client Earth who then sue in UK courts to tie the British government in knots.
I expect it works that way in a lot of other areas.

I can’t help feeling that a Labour MP taking over £400,000 from a Chinese spy is far worse than the Prime Minister having a drink in his own garden.

The BBC gleefully report the scary numbers of people dying ‘WITH’ Covid, ok not just the BBC but they’re the cheerleaders for sure. Also this sentence is a thinly disguised attempt to keep this post something like on topic.
‘With’ Covid? This anomaly has been discussed many times by a bunch of conspiracy theorist, no one is trying to trick us are they?
….
My uncle died a few days ago. He was tested positive with Covid about three weeks ago although he had no symptoms. What he did have was…
A unary infection, hyperglycaemia (or was it hypoglycaemia), multiple organ failure, dangerously low blood pressure, he had bowl problems, skin infections, a throat problem that meant it was almost impossible to eat or even drink, he was old and as frail as one can be and still be alive. On his last few days the poor bugger even had toothache.
How he hung on for as long as he did with his ‘end of life, keep him comfortable, we can do no more’ type of care I don’t know. We were told several times over the last few weeks ‘it’s a matter of hours now’. Finally he gave up the fight and is thankfully at rest.
So, what do you think was reported as his cause of death? What did he died ‘OF’, not even ‘WITH’?
I complained.

Yes, much as I’ve not been impressed by Boris’s premiership or how he’s tried to cope with covid, the BBCs constant and unbalanced coverage is a disgrace.
Actually the Beeb aren’t just unbalanced, they’re bloody unhinged!
Look, I think Bo-Jo has sometimes appeared to be shifty, shambolic, deceitful even. I thought the lockdowns were ludicrous and I’m not impressed with his love affair with green issues.
However, all that pales into insignificance when compared to a parliamentarian who appears to have been flogging himself to the Chinese for a couple of years. That should have the utmost scrutiny.
Boris seems to be a disorganised, muddle headed, out of his depth schoolboy. He may have enjoyed a glass or two of Chardonnay in his garden.
He’s not a traitor…

No not a traitor, but he would be if given the chance and it was the easiest option.
That’s the problem with cowards, they run towards whoever appears strongest. Boris holds no loyalty to anyone or anything, we saw that in his behaviour over Brexit and the disgraceful way the Tories marginalised UKIP in the referendum to give Boris primacy.
Boris alas is such a coward that he won’t take on the BBC because he’s scared of them. He is the architect of his own downfall and for me it can’t come soon enough, alas that he is likely to be replaced by yet another left wing clueless duffer.

For some reason, this reminds me of the bbc and wokes in general:
The donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green .”
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.”
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.”
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue…”
The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied, ′′You’ve known and seen the grass is green.”
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!”
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

Hypocrisy at the BBC and Left..
In my street is a Paramedic and his wife who is a practice nurse in a surgery……Nice people but rabid lefties.
Yesterday we met outside when we were both putting our recycling out, he approaches me and says ” effing Johnson what a bast–d “, there’s me and my wife putting our life on the line to help people and to get them through the Pandemic,very noble I thought.
Then I had to remind him that he held two illegal parties in his house during lock down and on one occasion he was reported to the police by a very elderly neighbour.
His response was, ” I work bloody hard so I’m entitled”, grunts and walks off…
The left and it’s hypocrisy….

Because hidden away in BBC coverage (a throwaway line at the end of the business report at 0720) we have this.
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s economy grew by a much stronger-than-expected 0.9% in November, finally taking it above its size just before the country went into its first COVID-19 lockdown, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.
The world’s fifth-biggest economy was 0.7% bigger than it was in February 2020, the ONS said.

Taffman thank – I am not very good with cutting and pasting type stuff – but here is a cut and paste of the Bill –
A BILL
A Bill to abolish the BBC licence fee and make the BBC a subscription service; and for connected purposes.
BE IT ENACTED by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
Abolition of the licence fee
Part 4 of the Broadcasting Act 2013 (licensing of TV reception) is repealed.
Duty to renegotiate BBC Charter and Agreement in order to establish subscription service

How very convenient
‘Under-fire PM in isolation as family member “tests positive”‘ (Metro)
I sense the giveaway urbanite paper’s employment of scare quotes there tends to reflect our mutual scepticism.
Boris has no doubt taken a leaf from Sir Keir’s playbook – when the going gets tough – the weak politician gets covid – or at least gets it by proxy.
It’s not just politicians who have found convenience in the advent of the great Chinese koof.
High street banks which found their high street branches a tedious distraction from money making have further weaned their customers away from reality and got them online.
Supermarkets have smiled at the lockdown closures of their smaller local rivals and, like the banks, not wishing to handle so much of our grubby cash have shepherded more of their flock of customers toward self-service and card payment for our groceries.
Don’t even get me started on big pharma profits.
I could go on. But let’s check today’s Financial Times for hints as to the mood of the big globalist corporates and their supranational cronies.
‘TPG stock surges on market listing‘ (FT) – TPG? I’ve heard of the famous brown HP Sauce. Houses of Parliament Sauce, apparently. And we’ve certainly had to stomach a fair dollop of that lately.
‘TPG Capital, previously known as Texas Pacific Group, is an American investment company. The private equity firm is focused on leveraged buyouts and growth capital. TPG manages investment funds in growth capital, venture capital, public equity, and debt investments‘ (thank you Wiki)
‘London’s tech groups pull in $25.5bn amid voracious appetite for start ups‘ (FT)
‘Von der Leyen bullish over EU directive… president is optimistic that Europe will be able to unblock delayed legislation this year aimed at boosting women’s representation in corporate boardrooms‘ (FT) – I’m sure that’s the main concern on european minds at the moment (sarc).
I take a keen interest in the cultural flavour of the prime frontpage advertising spots in our press. The copy for today’s example from Interos a US software company found on the cover of the FT reads rather sinister-sounding: ‘The Art of War now comes with a map. Sun Tzu wrote the what. Interos can show you the how. We map supply chains in 3D and in real time. Know all your opponents moves before they know what’s even possible. Outflank your whole industry and gracefully accept their surrender.‘ – no wonder the Chinese have run rings around Europe and the US and no wonder our politicians wish to ape their tactics. However, I note Sun Tzu, bless him, is silent on the subject of promoting females onto your senior council of war.
One more from the FT, lest you imagine it’s just me that’s gone full globalist conspiracy theory nut: ‘The Davos danger gauge takes on a green tinge‘
So, presumably, I can actually relax about: ‘Russian threat to Ukraine persists after talks with west hit “dead end”‘ – ignore as a mere passing distraction: ‘Chinese agent rattles nerves… “to advance the {Chinese Communist party’s} agenda in UK politics”‘ – and instead just worry myself sick about global warming.

Fuel on the number 10 fire . The inquiry whether there were parties in number 10 drags on – so we are in a mad – mad – situation – where there are new revelations of parties involving the kidults running the government – whether nut nut was involved or not .
So the inquiry gets longer and longer . How long can nut nut hide behind hit ? How long can the ludicrous inquiry be dragged out ? Why can’t the inquiry lead give some indication as to how long this nonsense it going on ? How much longer has nut nut got with his expensively furnished flat before the removal van arrives ?

One of the things that has been tantalising the Westminster politico-media nexus is who in the media attended a Downing Street party. James Slack, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of The Sun, was formerly Downing Street’s director of communications. Any coverage or lack of coverage of partygate by The Sun has therefore been seen by others through the prism of his current and previous roles.

“Pro rata” 100K = £2K/week
= £400/day
So you go to the trouble of getting all your security passes, paying for your travel, and paying for your equipment etc.
Then you get a few days work a month at £400 per day
is that excessive for London ?
Or would you want the Chinese to pay his salary instead ?

Why did the first station’s report not mention that ?

Given that Boris was in intensive care the week before and was recovering and not even in Downing Street, it seems a bit harsh to point the finger at him for that one.

I was a little puzzled watching last nights question time. Up came the subject of the royal randy boy and Labour’s Jess Phillips and another token lefty lady both went overboard in their support and sympathy for the poor suffering Lady Monarch. I thought Phillips was going to break into a chorus of “Rule Britannia” for a while….
Odd I thought, what could have brought this transformation to our usually anti-royalist populist commie?
This morning the answer was on every front page.
“Nasty Tories held a massive booze-up the night before the Ex aged Prince Philip was due to be planted.”
I conclude that the supercilious Phillips knew that this was to break and put the knife in early for maximum impact!
A complete and devious sham in fact!
What a nasty lot Labour are, I hope they continue to dwindle until they can hold their conference in a bus shelter.

At the moment – as the Chinese virus situation improves- and the economy recovers – even a bit – before the coming recession – Phillips and her BBC know they must act hard and fast .
Luckily for her the blue Labour Party is busily self destructing because of nut nut and his kidults ..

It’s sickening listening to the bbbc radio newcastle frenzy trying everything to get Boris sacked.
Using the Queen and Phil’s funeral to make it appear worse is real dirty tricks presented as news.
Even though he wasn’t there they are saying “the buck stops with him as he’s at the top”
Can we expect Starmer to resign as he has a Chinese spy working for Gardiner because Starmer is at the top and “ the buck stops here” surely applies to him as well.
Of course, it will not, we all know that.
Why don’t the Conservatives fight back at this openly plain to see attempt to bring them down.
Regular ‘leaks’ scheduled to cause maximum damage being fed to the media. It’s not as if it’s news and happening now, it’s an attempted coup.
If any bbbc office has had any kind of office party can we expect their director general to resign.
Of course not.
While I disagree with the direction Boris is now going in (lefty green princess influenced) this witch hunt is stomach turning.
Usually, after the initial phase, the public start to change opinions and apart from the ones the bbbc find to be disgusted by these office parties I would guess many will start to realise they are being played.
It’s just by finding some people who have had relatives die at the first party date and connecting the Queen to the second that these parties are currently bad news. Generally people care less about that stuff and more about real problems such as mass immigration and energy prices.

Listening late on GB News last night; BBC making big changes to its output. NIGEL REES was interviewed as the latest casualty of the BBC purge mentality. He was a BBC Radio 4 presenter for 46 years of traditional ‘thinking’ radio of the ‘Arts and literature’ has totally ‘given-up’ on the BBC. He stated on GB News that the BBC has gone over the top of forcing ‘diversity and inclusivity’ as forced identity political ‘prescriptions’ imposed by new BBC executives as a form of mass internal censorship.
He says it was the last straw when he was told his small radio discussion program should now include the visibly ‘disabled’ and ‘persons of colour’ on his Radio 4 radio show. When he pointed out that Noel Coward was going to be featured and discussed, most famous for the song ‘Mad dogs and Englishman, go out in the midday sun…” among his other works, he was told by the BBC executive, that he had to consider ‘Cultural attributes’ as being ‘representative’ of BBC diversity. Even though it made no sense to the program, to label participants as black or disabled, that is what the BBC wanted to include.

Radio 4 presenter Nigel Rees has revealed he quit the BBC after 46 years because he felt pressured by the corporation’s focus on diversity.
The 77-year-old, who had presented the Quote… Unquote panel game since January 1976, left the show last month.

I read a headline the other day where Toenails was said to have condemned BoJo’s lot for partying ‘whilst we were cowering in our homes’.
When did an Al Beeb churnalist EVER pass up the opportunity to over-dramatise something, usually done by a non-Leftoid, of which they disapprove?
I certainly wasn’t ‘cowering’!

A man has drowned and 30 other people have been brought to safety by French rescue services after they tried to cross the Channel to the UK.
The man fell overboard when the small migrant boat got into difficulty close to the French coast at Berck-sur-Mer, south of Boulogne.
Most of those rescued were on board the dinghy, but five people were picked up from a sandbank.

“Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people,” Bergdorf wrote in the post. “Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s—.”

Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.
It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.

Australian court is holding “directions hearing” on Djokovic case
.. If the minster thinks he is dangerous, why did he allow him to roam for 4 days ?
Why decide on a Friday night ? that makes it look like the timing is deliberately obstructive.
Djokovic’s team is arguing that an exception has to be made and that the appeals court should sit over the weekend and fully decide the matter.
Sure the minister can use an arbitrary power but is it proportionate to the public danger ?

Kalashnikovs and no-go zones: east Burkina Faso falls to militants
This article is more than 2 years old
Locals say they live in fear of violence and face harsh punishment for breaking rules
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/apr/22/kalashnikovs-and-no-go-zones-east-burkina-faso-falls-to-militants
When a stranger arrives in Bartiébougou, the Kalashnikov-wielding men in charge check his ID. But first they check his forehead. They are looking for the indent left by a beret – an instant indication he is a soldier and therefore an enemy spy.
Like much of eastern Burkina Faso, the government has no control over what happens in Bartiébougou; local militants, backed by west African extremist groups, do.

Don’t abandon Labour, embrace the class struggle
Labour’s right wing would be only too happy to see the mass suicide of its left — we cannot encourage that; the alternatives are not in new overnight parties but intervention in the growing wave of genuine class struggle, argues NICK WRIGHT

These disinterested and impartial authorities are bigging up the idea that Jeremy Corbyn should start a new party.

The Morning Star is no fan of the role private donations play at Westminster. But with OpenDemocracy having revealed last year that just 10 super-rich tycoons were responsible for a fifth of all political donations in the country over the last two decades, Lee’s donations look like small beer.

Open Democracy is a Soros front
It’s not really worth getting interested in top 10 donors
cos big boys have clever ways to funnel money.
eg you think UK environment policy is decided by your vote, but US foundations donate to other foundations who then donate to Client Earth who then sue in UK courts to tie the British government in knots.
I expect it works that way in a lot of other areas.
Here we have the Soros funded Open Democracy project
saying ” look over big capitalists are trying to influence UK politicians”
