    I can think of someone else who has been breaching Covid rules .

    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.

    But clearly the BBC do not agree.

    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.

    Two more parties at Downing Street during lock down says Telegraph…

    But what he BBC have failed to mention is that Boris Johnson was not even in London when they happened, he was at Chequers..

    The rabid attack on Johnson by the BBC is jaw dropping…

    I’m seriously staggered that the government is not fighting back against the BBC…

    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….

        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 ….

    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.

        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

    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.

    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.

      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 ?

    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”

    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.

    Can’t wait for the next Honours List

    CBE ‘for services to Taking the P***’.

      @Sluff you are mixing up 2020 and 2021.

      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”

      April 6th 2020 Boris was moved to intensive care.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    Most of those rescued were on board the dinghy, but five people were picked up from a sandbank.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
