I honestly don’t see the problem for the BBC from the
government firstly stopping an increase and then
abolishing the BBC license charge. Commercial advertising
will kill two birds with one stone for the BBC.
The continuity personal talking in a semi patois or an
Irish brogue could be replaced with commercial
ADVERTISING !! If the advertising we see on the other
channels were to be shown on the BBC , BIG BROTHER
and the rest of his, hers, or it’s diversity department would
be in a permanent orgasmic state.
Just maybe the only difference with the advertising would
be if BIG BROTHER insisted that in any advert which just
consisted of only white folk. Is that they were made out to be buffoons. As we see on a few of the adverts on the commercial channels.
There BBC, problem solved.
.
And Sopes can flog gold flecked soap with impu… even greater impunity.
“Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services – television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected
https://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/guidelines/impartiality”
I cannot listen to ‘today ‘ but I caught the propaganda the BBC calls ‘news ‘.
I bet the BBC really squirmed at the leak of the Islamic terrorist phone call to the brother in England . If it could have ignored or suppressed it – it would have .
But oh dear – the Jewish Chronicle got it . So there will be hours spent discussing this thankfully dead Muslims hatred for Jews and America – right . ?
Well you tell me . Somehow I think this powerful event will be gone by lunchtime – or the BBC will focus on the pitiful ‘why wasn’t he stopped ‘ he was mentally ill ‘ crap .
So let’s change the scenario. . Let’s say it was a whitee in a nazi uniform taking hostages in a synagogue . What sort of coverage would the BBC give to that ?
You know the answer . Yet the BBC is unbiased- right ?
The item after the dead Muslim terrorist was about Tommy Robinson and his financial trouble . The glee that there is a crowd funding thing to financially kill him was delivered with glee . I believe the BBC want him physically dead – drive an individual to suicide .
Anyone still paying for your BBC should go look in a mirror .
Fed Up- From time immemorial this anti-Semitism
is passed down from father to son. As for the BBC
and what you wrote. I believe that is their “balanced”
approach. The other night as I wrote it was unbalanced,
mentally ill Muslim taking Jews hostage. Followed by
a conspiracy story of a Jew being responsible for Anne
Frank’s family being found by the Nazi’s in Amsterdam.
BIG BROTHER at the diversity department is in complete
control over certain news coverage. AND who gets
interviewed .
Foscari
I’m well aware of the history of persecution of Jews thanks . Obviously Christians have a shameful responsibility for this .
But now ? A medieval evil sect is in trenched in the BBC to attack both Christians and Jews in the name of their false prophet and god .
The State looks the other way . Persecution is ignored . Targeting of churches or synagogues is ignored . Their omission speaks loudly of thar bias .
It’s ok though because the DG ‘relies on the data ‘ . But how can ‘omission ‘ have data ? Prosecution rests .
Saudi Money buys a lot of compliance I’m afraid.
One of the things that really puzzles me about all this, is that the discourse between the terrorist and his family was, if the news this morning was true, recorded ‘live’.
The family hadn’t a clue where this guy was, but a phone call, out of the blue, seemed well-prepared for……
“crowd funding thing to financially kill him was delivered with glee”
Ah that would be the misnamed ‘hope not hate’ group so beloved of Labour, some teaching unions and the bBC etc. etc. etc.
Daniel Sandford’s article for the BBC reads more like a call for more ‘victims’ of Tommy Robinson to come forward and to make a claim rather than a piece of impartial reporting.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs £100,000 for Hijazi seems rather a lot but is as nothing compared to the £1.5m claimed by his lawyers.
‘Hope not Hate’ is acting like a vigilante mob, something the BBC normally condems. If they are so worried that Hijazi won’t get his windfall why not crowdfund for that?
Note that, HnH isn’t digging into its own pockets, others are expected to do that. A good example of virtual ‘compassion’ that the woke go in for.
I’m just too annoyed to make a reply-the tail is wagging the dog and no mistake.
OT, but media studies usually are around this number.
Twitter polls on media being laughable run into the thousands.
Lucky Springster can do selfies mask free.
Alexei Sayle’s 2017 attack on Margaret Thatcher getting a new outing on Radio 4 Extra.
Many times he claims that she set out ‘to de-industrialise Britain’, not something that I recall from the time. Indeed he makes a joke about his car being a JCB, if they survived and thrived ‘despite Thatcher’ how did that happen?
Lots of stuff about ‘the miners’. What with Wilson’s pit closures and Ed Miliband’s Climate Change Act Labour hasn’t done much to help their job prospectives.
I am curious as to what the position of ‘the left’ is as regards miners. Should the pits have all closed with all miners retired on full pay or should they have continued to dig coal which would sit on the surface unburnt?
Probably this will be buried in the avalanche of following bias posts.
But here is a section from wikipedia
Between 1947 and 1994, some 950 mines were closed by UK governments. Clement Attlee’s Labour government closed 101 pits between 1947 and 1951; Macmillan (Conservative) closed 246 pits between 1957 and 1963; Wilson (Labour) closed 253 in his two terms in office between 1964 and 1976; Heath (Conservative) closed 26 between 1970 and 1974; and Thatcher (Conservative) closed 115 between 1979 and 1990.
And who, pray, was Secretary of State for Industry and then Energy Secretary between 1974 and 1979? It was that famous right winger and closer of pits……..errrr………….Tony Benn !!!!!!
Something Mr Sayle mysteriously seems not to have noted.
I remember Sayle ‘joking’ that he would like to see Diana and Fergie hanging from lamposts.
Hate crime or what?
Just a pretend Marxist on the make £££££….ideal for the BBC …
Seems the BBC has commissioned ‘The Dementia Smiths’, a comedy mashing up ‘Citizen Smith’ and ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ starring Alexei, Magic Gramps** and Groper Marr.
Critics* are saying it is funnier than the Mash Report in the Nish era.
So, straight to Dave and then sold to Pyongyang Sky.
**Production note: the theme is ‘Heaven knows I’m miserable’, played by all three with Jez on spoons and Groper on a production assistant’s peachy buttox.
*Gavin Esler, Paul Mason and James O’Brien, also on chorus.
I’m now getting a familiar feeling – it’s the BBCs Rabid attacks on president trump . It’s now the same thing with nut nut . There is now the same obsession . The need for the MSM to demonstrate its’ power and ability for ‘regime change ‘.
The longer this war goes on the more support I feel for nut nut – however red and Green the idiot may be .
The story Springster did on her was actually very good.
70 million missing ? a scandal but nothing like a cheese and wine party, obviously
FMQs LIVE: Where’s the cash, Nicola? Sturgeon under massive pressure over missing £70m
NICOLA STURGEON will be quizzed by SNPs today as councils across Scotland argue they should receive £70m to pay for the national insurance hike.
A council source told the Daily Record the Scottish Government has been given funding to pay for public sector bodies, but councils have not yet seen it.
All 32 local authority leaders signed a letter insisting funding was being cut by £371million and are due to meet with the First Minister this month.

Ah, well, er…. William!!!!
She bears her buttox… things may get ugly.
Marr might be interested. Now he has found his voice.
Not really OT as the logic applies here too.

Family member just got a speedy ticket from a mobile camera going 35mph out of a town along a country road just before the derestricted sign.
Meanwhile within town the local thugs drive at 60 in modded backfiring pocket rockets that have failed their MOT.
The police cracked down on any in the park at the height of mask fining. The drug dealers selling to kids… not so much.
So, Priti… get bent.
Apparently it is the anniversary of the coup in America – the BBC – as usual use one of their democrat friendly beeboids followed by a former obama droid ( always ) – no contrary – republican view – no balance .
But they can’t put lipstick on a pig and call it something else . How can they dress up an old dementing man who was implanted into the White House through mass fraud ?
I still can’t believe Americans accepted it – but maybe they are as brainwashed by the MSM as many here…..
Showing their true colours and one pink member
Daily Telegraph columnists finally say enough is enough, bring out their true blue colours for a wave and dig in to defend British values: ‘Christina Hopkinson. Why I’ll never give up my conservatory‘; ‘Jason Isaacs. I won’t be stabbing J K Rowling in the back‘ – goodness me, what a brave reactionary backlash… that ought to stop the progressives in their tracks, see if it don’t!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the political fence, the Guardian shows us the prize mouthpiece of the liberal left is not just some overgrown adolescent substitute for having a strop and flouncing off to one’s bedroom muttering to one’s parents I hate you: ‘Meet the man who read all 27,000 Marvel comics‘; ‘“Aaarrgghh!” Lorraine Kelly on tough interviews and toxic politicians‘
The FT reveals it is not the great proponent of the non-state-controlled private business model we might have assumed it to be: ‘In defence of the BBC. Why we shouldn’t defund our public broadcaster‘
At least the commuter giveaway freebie Metro has a headline that’s in line with its business model: ‘Return to the office. WFH over‘ – served as usual with our daily invite to enjoy a McPlant burger. Give the punters what they didn’t know they wanted, eh? Because in crony state capitalism the customer is always evil – shape up and go: ‘Beyond meat. Vegetarian Society vegan approved‘
Elsewhere in their promotional material…
‘British and Irish farmers are our most essential ingredient, and we’re proud to work with over 20,000 of them who supply the quality cuts for our burgers‘ (McDonalds) – so how come your advertising budget is clearly aimed at persuading the public to go veggie and put our meat farmers out of business?
Could this be significant? ‘Food prices drive 5.4% hike in cost of living‘ (‘i’) – let them eat grass and cut out the middle cow?
As usual the subject of fashion attracts the attention of Her Majesty’s formerly patriotic, latterly rather less manly than hitherto Times, our one-time newspaper of record: ‘Hanging out with the king of fashion‘
And they tell us it’s a man’s world…
Grown up dating advice from the ‘i’s opinion feature: ‘Try sober dating. It will change your love life (and the kissing’s great)‘ – that’s fine in a world of ideals but where would most of us be without our beer-goggles? And as our media has insisted and we’ve learned recenty – a party isn’t a party unless one BYOBs.
There’s a dating caution for the ladies from the Daily Star: ‘If your bloke’s wearing aftershave we have some bad news for for you…‘ – of course all love life advice in our media tends to be from the female perspective.
The ladies tend to do healthy fashionable activities like yoga and this new-fangled thing called wild swimming – only rather peculiar slightly creepy blokes want to crash those sort of girls’ parties – and there’s some advice about that from unexpected quarters: ‘“Mamit’s alert” Wild swimmers, beware middle-aged men in trunks‘ (Telegraph) – this of course after Matt Hancock was photographed going for a dip in the icy Serpantine. “Aaarrgghh!” or “Brrgghh!” (or both?) as Lorraine Kelly might exclaim when confronted with one of our most toxic of toxic politicians. We’ll leave Gina Coladangelo to keep the secrets of his aftershave. I guess at least the cold water will have cooled his ardour.
Oh, and on the subject of politics, Boris Johnson’s much admired big majority just shrank by the tune of one pink member.
Prime Minister Question Time –
– no mention of Navy moving into the channel?
– no mention of 3 teachers hidden in Batley from Islam in a free society.
– no mention of Ukraine and Russia/
CHEESE AND WINE. BREAD AND CIRCUS.
Yes Marky – and very often people here – including me – muse about the similarities between the nut nut party and the socialists ….
…….well if you were looking for real evidence of this the crossing of the floor by some nobody yesterday gives you this .
Even with a red nut nut party one of the politicians he got elected finds the socialists more fitting than the nut nut party .
But what would happen if nut nut did more Conservative policies – or even proper Right wing ones ? Would more red tories go sit with Barry gardiner ? Diane abbot ? Angie – who thinks they are scum ?
The Independent Group for Change, also known as Change UK, was a centrist, pro-European Union political party, founded in February 2019 and dissolved ten months later, shortly after all its MPs lost their seats in the 2019 general election. Its principal policy was support for a second referendum on European Union membership, in which it would campaign to remain in the EU. On economic issues it expressed a commitment to the social market economy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_UK
Three of the party’s MPs stood for re-election in the 2019 general election. None of them were re-elected, each losing to candidates from their former parties. On 19 December 2019, Soubry announced the party’s dissolution.
he group was founded by MPs Luciana Berger, Ann Coffey, Mike Gapes, Chris Leslie, Gavin Shuker, Angela Smith and Chuka Umunna, who simultaneously announced their resignations from the Labour Party on 18 February 2019.
I thought Patrick Christys’ (GBN) monologue yesterday was amusing.

Boris hasn’t behaved like a Conservative, but as long as he’s in post there’s at least the chance he might do.
As long as Operation Red Meat doesn’t turn into Operation Tofu then it looks like he’s moving in that direction, it looks like perhaps he’s realised that to be a successful Prime Minister in a Conservative country, you actually have to behave like a Conservative.
Let’s just play the tape forward – So Boris goes, there’s a Tory leadership election, I don’t see how that’s won by a proper Conservative candidate, but whoever wins will get a bump in the polls and ride a wave of national optimism as the pandemic finishes and Britain emerges as the first country in Western Europe to declare victory over Coronavirus.
Boosted by the best vaccine rollout scheme quite possibly anywhere in the world…or, put another way, they’d be riding high off the back of Boris Johnson’s successes.
And then they go in to a General Election… can you imagine having to choose between Sunak and Starmer.
Goodness me, that’s the human equivalent of spending a rainy Sunday afternoon deciding what shade of beige you want the bedside table in your spare room to be. It’s like looking at wet cardboard.
It’s always about choosing the worse candidate not the best one – which means the Conservatives have no conservatives. And Labour are all hard left.
“they’d be riding high off the back of Boris Johnson’s successes.”
A favour – could someone tell me how long this party story has been going ? It seems like weeks and weeks now …
Fed, try months. I seem to recall Part-time being ‘outed’ by the Montacutie in high summer. I think it may have started late Spring ’21.

TOADY Watch #2 – sounds of desperation in her voice
‘Foghorn’ as she is known around here (Rachel Reeves MP) was interviewed concerning the PM and the present (in a) state of HMG. Maybe because I was initially brought up only listening to radio, maybe because I have a little radio presenting knowledge, maybe because I am a conservative and listen carefully to what the ‘opposition’ (incl. the BBC!) say but I think I noticed a sound of desperation in Foghorn’s voice. She was almost hyperventilating.
The BBC provides an absurdly upbeat (and biased) “whirlwind dash through Biden’s first year in office”, giving the impression of a dynamic and caring President who still has time to stop and pick a flower for his missus. Puke.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-60060913
No real sounds – just images with a few words. Omission is the greatest lie.
….
“President Trump is having dinner with @SpeakerRyan tomorrow night, per the official White House schedule.”
Is this a professional BBC approved response ‘Hmm – that will be a fun evening’ { twitter @KattyKayBBC} this is nothing but gossip, adds not value to the conversation, will it be fun or not? Is that sarcasm or not? Is it UK humour or not? How did she get the 100+ days show?
Katty Kay should be on “100+ Days :: After BBC Announce Ludicrous Wages”
Just like the BBC’s 100 DAYS programme, the humble BBC Tax Payers should ask the BBC for a “100 BBC DAYS PROGRAMME” covering – high wages, gender gap, employees not following BBC guidelines on sharing their opinions online, money spent facilitating pedophiles, employees hiding money in external companies … and more. Possibly enough for 365+ Days!

TOADY Watch #3 – hmmnn, old beliefs die hard
Think it was the Bee Lady but it may have been the A lady who in the look at newspaper frontapges at 7.40 a.m. who remarked that the DT was read by Conservative MPs. That is a traditional view. If I was a Tory MP, I would be reading the Guardian and (holding my nose to do it) the Daily Mirror in order to see what the opposition are up to.

I read the G . I enjoy the unintended humour where they allow comments – which is very limited . The telegraph has just given me near to free access to that online again so I will watch that too …
… the nun nut PMQ episode has distracted from the pains of the BBC – but with a bit of luck there will be job losses …
Try to game it . Labour fails to oust nut nut . The gray report is just gray and nothing more than more naughty step . He remains damaged goods but the bluster returns .
. I reckon he will disarm the ‘energy crisis ‘ by fiddling the coming price ceiling control thing – plus chuck a load of cash at ‘every welfare case ‘ not that anyone would be grateful of course – it’s a ‘right ‘ to get other peoples’ Money .
Anything he does now will be an accusation that he is doing it because of the parties.
So where does the BBC / Labour go after that ? Bi elections ( meaningless ) local council elections ( low turn out ) … but where else?
I suppose as usual it depends on events – whether putin goes for a big war – long messy war or no war …. Whether the Chinese pick a fight ( inevitable ) …whether there is a new improved Chinese virus …
Other assumptions – no further leaks by traitor Cummings ..

Brexit – vote for it – wait 5 years to implement it hoping they will get bored.
“However, it is not their function to breach the ministerial code in threatening to withdraw investments from Members of Parliaments’ constituencies which are funded from the public purse.
Additionally, reports to me and others of members of staff at Number 10 Downing Street, special advisers, Government ministers and others encouraging the publication of stories in the press seeking to embarrass those who suspect lack in confidence in the Prime Minister is similarly unacceptable.
The intimidation of a member of Parliament is a serious matter. Moreover, reports of which I’m aware would seem to constitute blackmail. As such it would be my general advice to colleagues to report such matters to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. They’re also welcome to contact me at any time.”

Infections are dropping across the UK but but but…not in Newcastlle or some such area…so red alert…it’ still on….the pandemic is going to kill us all…lockdown now!
The BBC just can’t stop.
I notice that the ‘nobody’ MP for Bury South who crossed the floor from Tory to Labour yesterday won his seat with about 400 votes only. All becomes clear. As Groucho Marx said ‘I have principles and if you don’t like them…….. then I have others.
and…I don’t want to be a member of any club that would have someone like me as a member.
I wonder if that character has ties to bury ?
Does he live there ? Does he just take the picture of his wearing a blue rosette down – photo shop it to red ?
His career won’t end well but soon …
Recently the msm was saying that graham Brady – the head of the 1922 committee was going to announce thar the 54 letters of no confidence in nut nut had been delivered .
It never happened . No one else has ‘crossed the floor ‘ yet – maybe more dross will but who cares .
As for Bury and levelling up – I would flatten it …

Joe Biden one year on: Has the United States become ungovernable?
Published20 hours ago
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60036911
Even in the event of a conflict with Russia over Ukraine or a clash with China over Taiwan, it is hard to imagine a patriotic surge strong enough to bring the country together. On the contrary, much like the coronavirus pandemic and January 6th insurrection, a military confrontation would more likely expose the nation’s fissures.
It was the Democrats who whipped up the hate and division by refusing to accept Trump as President and made governing the US and running its business impossible…as well as massively polarising the nation on identity issues especially race….unforgiveably dividing the nation between blacks and whites once again.
Heard BPUsher on Today telling us Biden was actually really really successful….and he was only unpopular in the polls because of right wing lies and Trump’s claims of a stolen election….funny how the BBC forgets that Clinton toured BBC studios claiming she only lost because the election was, er, stolen. Oh there was that little matter of Afghanistan but hey…he’s a great President who is not at all mentally incapable or incomptent….his vice president isn’t at all totally useless and not a little barking, and Pelosi is not just pure poison.
They seem to think that if they don’t talk about rising crime levels they’ll go away ….. I just hope that their next elections are not as fixed as the last one ….
…. Meanwhile Blighty is bringing voter ID. But that will be blocked by the traitors lords again …. Wish they’d end postal voting too …

Laura comforts Boris
“Christian Wakeford has defected etc” – if thats the problem why would you defect to labour 🙂
“What is important is not the particular person who is elected President or the party he belongs to. I have often said we shall not correct the state of affairs by electing the right people; we’ve tried that. The right people before they’re elected become the wrong people after they’re elected. The important thing is to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. If it is not politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either.”

Yet another snake crawls out of the nest. This time it’s William Wragg who has suggested that MP’s calling for Boris’s resignation should report to the police if they have come under pressure and may have felt blackmailed by the party.
This is unprecedented.
It is becoming clear that there exists a cohort of people in the Conservative Party who have harboured resentment against Boris and personal ambition for some time and they are now trying to jump on the bandwagon to further their careers.
I think Boris should bring this out into the open and call Wragg to attend an investigation and demend he comes up with facts to back up his allegations including names, dates and all documentation, messages etc. he may have.
These people know full well that the majority of the MSM will fall over themselves to back such smears if it means damaging the Tories so some form of collusion with the press is in play as well.
This might turn out to be a really good thing for the Conservative party as these secret “sleepers” are now revealing themselves and can be henceforth identified as enemies of the party in the same way as spies.
I am really beginning to suspect that these people are in reality left-wing moles and have been all along. It is interesting that many come from previously Northern Labour or Lib-Dem constituencies.
The group was founded by MPs Luciana Berger, Ann Coffey, Mike Gapes, Chris Leslie, Gavin Shuker, Angela Smith and Chuka Umunna, who simultaneously announced their resignations from the Labour Party on 18 February 2019. Rather than forming a party, the group were a coalition of officially Independent MPs referring to themselves as The Independent Group. Leslie, Shuker and Smith had previously lost no-confidence motions brought by their Constituency Labour Parties.[4][5][6] Berger had two no-confidence motions brought against her but both were withdrawn.[7] Ian Murray planned to resign alongside the others but pulled out shortly before the launch.[8]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_UK
Digg
But doesn’t that accord with the view that it is not a conservative government – throwing borrowed money around like a drunk and not giving a damn about money at all ?
digg….
Wragg is a self confessed hater of Johnson and opposed his election as leader from day one..
I totally agree that there is now a concerted effort within the Tory party to oust Johnson by whatever means possible. David Davies outburst yesterday was premeditated and completely uncalled for, he could have quite easily had the same conversation with Johnson in private.
BBC and SKY are now saying that sources within Downing Street are saying that Sue Gray has found damning evidence against Johnson and he has no chance of surviving.
Angela Rayner is all over the BBC saying the accusation of bullying within the Tory Party is disgusting. But she conveniently forgets the foul behaviour of the Labour Party towards its Jewish members and anybody that opposed Corbyn…Same old staggering hypocrisy from Labour
It’s always suspicious when people don’t want things to run their legal course.
eg1 If Boris delayed the Gray report
eg If people shout that Boris must go BEFORE the report
..I can wait a week or two ..why can’t the media ?
StewGreen..
Agree.
I have no idea what the BBC and Labour hope to achieve from all of this. Before all this crap started Labour were 10 points behind the Tories in the Polls….
Labour have achieved there latest poll lead by purely introducing sleaze into the equation, nothing else, no jaw dropping wonderful policy.
When the dust settles it will revert back tho the same old clueless Labour Party with no serious winning policies.
And is it not strange that quotes damning Johnson appearing on the BBC webpages are all from self confessed Johnson haters, same apply’s to Sky
I find the Labour Party and BBC’s plan of attack baffling..
To start with, Wakeford is a complete @rshole, however… some of these rebel MPs are saying they’ve been threatened and have had inordinate pressure put on them to back Boris. “Certain things will be exposed” This has already happened to one rebel, I don’t doubt Boris’s friends in The Telegraph, Mail and Express will be only too pleased to do his dirty work.
This is just the filthy politics you’d expect from these public school pillocks.
I want to keep Bo-Jo at the present, but only because I’m really concerned who might take over. The thought of Gove or Hunt, please God, no!
Boris has proven himself to be a pathetic wimp and is now so weak he’s actually doing what the real conservatives want for a change and not what Greta, Laura and Beth want.
FFS, it’s taken long enough…
Boris is no wimp
He had the guts to promise a Conservative government
and then delivered an Islington Fake-Green-Socialist one
That’s gangster stuff.
Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party promoted true independence.
Many Tories were ‘Remainers’.
Non-Tories voted Johnson and the ‘Consocalists’ into government merely because they stole Brexit from them .
Digg:
If Boris was a conservative, you might have a point.
He’s not, he’s just an actor .
The BBC spent 4 years peddling the biggest of lies about Trump and Russia….oddly they don’t have the same concerns about a real love affair with Putin….
‘How Germany’s greed for gas, and another grubby deal with Moscow, could plunge Europe into an abyss’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10420447/How-Germanys-greed-gas-grubby-deal-Moscow-plunge-Europe-abyss.html
Germany has frequenty seemed to be in Putin’s pocket…under Merkel, born and raised in East Germany and an ardent Young Socialist and working there at the same time and in the same area as Putin when he was in the KGB as she pumped out propaganda for the Party, Germany allowed in a million aliens who don’t have Germany’s interests at heart, a million ‘refugees’ who were, for Putin, a weapon aimed at Germany, Merkel dumped Germany’s independent power supply for ‘green’ reasons but signed up to the gas pipeline from Russia thus giving Putin control of one of Germany’s major sources of fuel, Germany refused to adopt harsh sanctions on Russia and now has stopped arms going to Ukraine needed to defend itself against Russian aggression.
Prima facie you could make out a good case that Merkel was the most successful agent the Russians ever had [bar the Democrats, US media and the BBC] and that in the Greens now sharing power in Germany we have people who would be welcomed with open arms by the old commies and marxists…as we know the greens, such as Extinction Rebellion, are Marxists first and green second…the old melons…green on the outside, red at heart.
Weirdly the BBC has no interest in how Russia is subverting Europe…though, the BBC tells us, alleged parties in No10 are seriously damaging to UK democracy…unlike a national broadcaster which is corrupt, lying and dishonest and interferes in elections here and abroad trying to topple governments and leaders.
I’d love be a fly on the wall if the article 5 NATO treaty is triggered again if a member is attacked by Russia . I just can’t see much involvement from the US or UK – so the French and Krauts can pick up the tab ….
I suppose putin is waiting for the weather to improve a bit ..

I think history tells us that the Russians prefer really cold winters?
Berlin, Germany 2016
Arrested German spy was a onetime gay porn actor — and a secret Islamist {washingtonpost nov2016}
“BERLIN — Two weeks ago, German intelligence agents noticed an unusual user in a chat room known as a digital hideout for Islamic militants. The man claimed to be one of them — and said he was a German spy. He was offering to help Islamists infiltrate his agency’s (In April 2016, the man began working for the BfV, assigned to monitoring potentially violent Islamists in Germany.) defenses to stage a strike.
Agents lured him into a private chat, and he gave away so many details about the spy agency — and his own directives within it to thwart Islamists — that they quickly identified him, arresting the 51-year-old the next day. Only then would the extent of his double life become clear.
…
It’s not only a rather bizarre, but also a quite scary, story that an agency, whose central role it is to engage in counterespionage, hired an Islamist who potentially had access to classified information, who might have even tried to spread Islamist propaganda and to recruit others to let themselves be hired by and possibly launch an attack”

Wonderful NHS : How much compensation has one small area paid for maternity deaths in last 10 years ?
Mid & South Essex paid £103m for 176 claims
after repeatedly suffering from lack of blood and lack of staff.
There’s another Dominic Sandford story about TR
claiming he is being pursued for £2m debt.
That contradicts with the usual antifa/HnH smear “TR is a millionaire grifter, who is only campaigning so he can get money off the gullible”
I guess TR will put out his own message.
I’d guess some PR people are hoping to use smear to derail the premiere of The Rape Of Britain in 10 days time

“He has been repeatedly attacked. On one occasion, when set upon by a Muslim gang in Luton, the police handcuffed and arrested him. On another, the perpetrator was caught on camera but has still not been arrested. He says he’s given up on the police: ‘They’re scared.’ April this year saw the trial and conviction of six Muslims from the West Midlands who planned to carry out a terrorist attack at an EDL demonstration in Dewsbury last June. They missed the demo by minutes but while returning their car was stopped by police and found to contain nail bombs, knives, sawn-off shotguns and a -message to ‘To the EDL. O enemies of Allah!’”

TR’s interview on One America News on 17 Jan about his upcoming documentary release on the 29th of January – The Rape Of Britain.
I’m sure Suella and Priti will be getting tips from Geoffrey ‘it’s in the national interest’ Cox about how to stop the film going out and how to further villify and incarcerate TR.
Another example is where imams preaching intolerance such as Anjem Choudary (preached hate 1999-2016) to his hundreds of worshippers (5 times a day, everyday), can all imams be checked if they are on welfare benefits, paid by UK workers, and these payments be stopped immediately. It is the community that needs to fund the imams if they want religious teachings, similar to how the Church of England was funded with donations in the past.

The father-of-four (Anjem Choudary preaching hate 1999-2016) takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone

South African scientists – praised internationally for first detecting the Omicron variant – have accused Western nations of ignoring early evidence that the new Covid variant was “dramatically” milder than those which drove previous waves of the pandemic.
Two of South Africa’s most prominent coronavirus experts told the BBC that Western scepticism about their work could be construed as “racist,” or, at least, a refusal “to believe the science because it came from Africa”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-60039138
What a shame that Botswanan officials see fit to hide the identity of the first 4 recorded Omicron patients…..
The BBC have a correspondent barely 1 hour’s flying time from Gaborone – but not interested.
The provenance of Omicron is fishy as ….
“Omicron came from Africa” is a crock ?
For some considerable time the bBC Scotland division is known locally as the ” media wing of the SNP”
Its clearer than ever that the rest of it is the “media wing of the Labour Party”
Time to up the ante on them.
How about Ms Dorries formally requests that all bBC personnel
earning above £99,999 are immediately brought back to that level and capped. . The Director chap could be offered an additional bonus on production of a formal transition plan to a subscription model.
That would be Conservatism in action!
To quote and paraphrase the BBC ‘Today’ programme ‘reporters’ this morning…
“….the apparent increasing submission of MPs letters demanding the resignation of Boris Johnston has apparently come to a halt….”
….and that’s what passes as mainstream ‘reporting’ from the BBC these days.
Supposition, assumption, speculation, hypotheticals, conjecture, and pure unsubstantiated guesswork – most of it biased, slanted, and downright politically motivated – that’s just about all we get from our ‘trusted’ BBC network these days – whatever happened to simply ‘reporting the facts’.
And the real problem is that all of this stuff is deviously portrayed by the BBC as being ‘the facts’ of a situation. There is a vast difference between ‘facts’ and ‘opinion’, which the BBC does not distinguish between. And we wonder why the populace hasn’t a clue as to what the truth is.
‘1984’ becomes a reality, rather than a work of fiction.
But the majority of people in this country will quote the above from the BBC as absolute truth, particularly in discussion with an opponent.

Should bad science be censored on social media?

“Health and disinformation reporter”
Rachel and Marianna et al. know all there is to know about ‘bad science’ (and everything else for that matter).
The magnetic 5G implant vaccine crowd have been cultivated and given a truly unreasonable amount of coverage. Set up self evident nuts so that you can subsequently make smeary comparisons …..
“bad science” indeed – too much to expect the BBC to clean out their own honking Augean stables full of festering BS

“Since 2003 Dr Ben Goldacre has been exposing dodgy medical data in his popular Guardian column. In this eye-opening book he takes on the MMR hoax and misleading cosmetics ads, acupuncture and homeopathy, vitamins and mankind’s vexed relationship with all manner of ‘toxins’. Along the way, the self-confessed ‘Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General’ performs a successful detox on a Barbie doll, sees his dead cat become a certified nutritionist and probes the supposed medical qualifications of ‘Dr’ Gillian McKeith.
Full spleen and satire, Ben Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating and ultimately alarming journey through the bad science we are fed daily by hacks and quacks.”
And the media this morning (including BBC’s ‘Today’ programming is reporting on Biden’s ‘strong warning’ to Mr Putin about the consequences of Russian troops entering Ukraine but says that if it’s only a ‘minor incursion’ (web definition of incursion – ‘…an invasion or attack, especially a sudden or brief one.) then maybe there won’t be any significant retaliation.
US and UK MSM hit the brakes on reporting this, and get into reverse gear for Biden, faster than an Italian/French tank driver, and ‘mainsplain’ that he really didn’t say this…. sort of like an Obi Wan-Kenobi attempt at telling us that ‘this is not the meaning you are seeking’.
Jeez – this guy is going to cause even more deaths than he already has with his policies.
Richard – see what happens when they let this demented old man speak without an autocue ? He encourages war …. Undermines NATO and puts a frightener on all things Eastern Europe ….
………..it’s interesting comparing the treatment of Ronald Reagan – who was constantly labelled as ‘senile ‘ and the fraud president whose mental state barely gets a mention …
Now who would be ? Apart from one being ‘approved ‘ and the other definitely ‘not approved ‘….
If mr putin decides to turn the gas off and go for an invasion will the fraudulent president get the blame ? No – nut nut and president Trump will …
It will be really interesting to see whether Mr Putin takes Mr Biden up on his offer of a ‘free hit’ at Ukraine, then starts arguing with Duffer Biden about the actual definition of the word ‘incursion’.
Sort of like fomer US President Clinton’s excuse that he ‘did not have sexual relations’ with Monica Lewinski – it all depends on how you define ‘sexual relations’ – there’s Clinton’s definition and there’s….. all others.
And, of course, the same guy’s infamous statement in his testimony on the subject of whether he had sex with Monica Lewisnski, where he said ….”It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.”
Richard – in a recent documentary series on Clinton on PBS the bit about ‘sexual relations ‘ was defined by one of Ken Starrs ‘ boys Trying to nail Clinton down .
Instead of defining ‘sexual relations ‘ as what most normal people would describe it as – the Starr lawyer chap put down a more ‘round the houses ‘ type set of words which in the end let Clinton off the hook of lying to the Feds .
Which obviously with hindsight was a huge mistake
Absurdity abounds
Labour’s shadow chancellor has set out a “pro-business” plan for the UK economy aimed at moving away from the polices of former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Rachel Reeves said Labour – and not the Conservatives – were now the party of business, in a speech in Bury.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60068222
As Labour leader Mr Corbyn, who remains suspended from the party and currently sits as an independent, fought two general elections on a socialist policy platform, advocating the nationalisation of key industry and welfare increases.
Tony Blair looks set to keep his knighthood despite a massive public outcry – as no-one in the UK seems to know how to take it off him.
The news comes as a petition to have the former Labour prime minister stripped of his New Year honour has passed 400,000 signatures.
However, the petition is being run on the website Change.org.
If it had accrued even one-quarter of that number of signatures on the UK Parliament’s website, the Government would respond and consider it for a debate in the Commons.
A stumbling block may have appeared through even that channel though, as the Government site’s rules make clear that although “petitions which reach 100,000 signatures are almost always debated”, they “must be about something that the Government or the House of Commons is directly responsible for”.

Longtime anchor and journalist Ted Koppel has renewed his 2019 concerns about America’s increasing media bias. While talking with Dan Abrams on NewsNation, Koppel said his previous statements about The New York Times and The Washington Post deciding “as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States” still ring true.
Koppel said he’s bothered by the great newspapers who’ve seemingly dropped criteria that differentiate opinion from the news. “I don’t like seeing opinion being expressed on the front page of a great newspaper,” he said.
After Abrams pointed out that some journalists say Trump is different and must be “covered differently by the media,” Koppel replied, “I think if you start drawing those distinctions, it’s very difficult to know where you stop drawing the distinction. Do you feel that way about anybody else in politics?”
Billy `Bragg – sorry Billy Wragg MP tries another knife into nut nut … fine billy – fine – just publish the emails and other evidence and we ll all look at it ….

TWatO Watch #1 – atheistic BBC at its Socialist best
The Montacutie turned our attention right at the end of the programme to Jeff Bezos’ donation to a bunch of scientists to help us live longer in our fitter, active, years. (Prolonged childhood? Hhmmnnn … )
A cancer can kill in six months. A major heart attack in less. A stroke may not be survived at all. A car accident or lack of attention from a driver or you as a pedestrian, again can end a life instantly. Psalm 90 verse 10 has God’s view on it: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”
Verse 12 of that Psalm is also a good one: “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
Help, “us”?
G, yeah, that’s the bit that worries me. Esther Rantzen was one of two contributors on this item and she was, surprisingly, all in favour. She did mention the ‘o’ or ‘p’ word – overpopulation. But I guess the environmentalist in Jeff Bezos firing rockets into space to warm things up a bit and use more electricity, would actually like over-population.
Over-population = possibility of more customers for Amazon.
Now there’s a thing.

BBC Radio Legend Quits After 46 years Due To Diversity Quotas & Woke Interference in Much-Loved Show
BBC Radio 4’s legendary “Quote… Unquote” has entertained audiences since 1976. However, in December 2021, fans were dismayed to discover that the show was at an end. On this week’s #SWYSI, Nigel Rees, the creator & host of “Quote… Unquote”, explains the events that led him to cancel his own show. He explains how the BBC’s diversity quotas for greater representation of women, ethnic minorities and disabled people began to affect the programme and how the BBC’s political correctness required him to amend his scripts, preventing the inclusion of familiar and harmless quotations, loved by generations.
