Start the week 31 January 2022

Lord Grade is in line to be the new Chair of OFCOM . Good news?
Surely he knows the group think of the BBC – which is shared by those ex BBC types who hide in OFCOM … and _ elsewhere-for those who like anniversaries – this day is the anniversary of the UK leaving the EU- so be sure the BBC will celebrate that ….

          This is the big problem with the teens and twenties of the past couple of decades – having the attitude and immaturity of someone at puberty.

          Would this 27 year old get into a Spitfire and fight for his country ? would this 27 year old go down the mines and dig out coal at a height of 3′ ? Would this 27 year old even get his hands dirty farming on the land ?

          Of course not. Most blokes his age even around 1990 would be responsible enough to be married with a family. But now its useless to have a grown up conversation with someone this age, unless its about the latest video game or who is top of the Grundge play list. UNLESS of course they are working as ‘advisors’ at no.10 where its drinky poos central.

    I tend to watch GB News at 7pm, supper time and Nigel Farage. I am afraid to say that Nigel is becoming boring. He seems to be with Cummings in trying to bring Boris down.

    I am not happy with Boris but if he is brought down we could end up with a Remainer Prime Minister. I saw how duplicitous Mrs May was, constantly tying us tighter and tighter to Europe, but secretly.

    Nigel F is getting boring but I want GB News to succeed. I am not ready to go to BBC1 The One Show, but I have bought a chrome fire thingummyjig and YouTube beckons.

      Let me remind you that with Cummings holding the bottlers nose to the grindstone he was hailed as the British Trump, now though he has become more like the British Biden.”

      Lord Frost has comfirmed she has done this, and that effectively she is the De Facto PM. Even though we never voted for her she is controlling the weak and cowardly Boris in the worst way possible.
      Lord Frost said the only way the bottler can survive is if he gets rid of all the far Left loons of his wife, but he seems incapable of standing up to her.

    Christian cleric shot dead by gunmen in harrowing execution ambush in Pakistan

    GUNMEN killed a Christian cleric and wounded his colleague as they drove home from church in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday, police said.

    Ashiknaz Khokhar, who described himself as an activist for the Christian minority, said: “This is the second attack of this kind in Sahiwal.

    “In the village of Okara, two brothers were killed and several Christians wounded from gunshots over irrigation.

    “It is frustrating to see, on the one hand, Christians fighting for their survival and, on the other, the culprits on the loose, pre-released on bail without being arrested.”

    Eyewitness Kamran Masih, another resident of the village accused Muslim landowners of having ordered Christians to sell their lands, warning of “serious consequences” if they refused.

    Across the border in Afghanistan, Christians are also facing the threat of execution at the hands of brutal Taliban death squads purely because of their faith, the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group in the European Parliament claimed in September.

    The Statista website puts Afghanistan joint top of its Index of persecution of Christians in countries worldwide 2021 with a score of 94, matched only by Kim Jong-un’s North Korea. Pakistan is fifth.

    The ECT further accused the EU of turning a blind eye to their plight – as well as warning of potential disaster if swift action is not take to protect them.

    An ECR statement said: About ten thousand persons have converted from Islam to Christianity, which is – according to Sharia law – a crime punishable by death.

All three were Curates or Vicars in the Anglican Church of Pakistan.

      Though the prospect of a Rejoiner PM replacing Boris is fright6ful, so is the idea that Boris has another Covid catastrophe he is keen to try out.

      He and his wife are keen to turn Britain into an Utopian Green nation on the way to reverse Global Climate Change. His bike mania is already affecting the nation.

      We already are 500 billion short, another 500 billion damage to the economy. That is a trillion pounds short before he sets out to enforce Climate Change mandates.

      Six hours at a garage to fully charge an EV. That is if you get a garage that will accept your EV, and a waiting line that will take several Six hour periods for your turn comes up. And where is the power coming from. The idea of charging millions of EV from a limited number of electricity generating stations is ludicrous.

    I read, not on the BBC for obvious reasons, that The Potters Hotel in Aldershot has cancelled a load of bookings by Falkland Veterans who were planning to attend a memorial service in the area.

    The veterans chose the hotel because many are disabled and it is located close to the venues they were hoping to attend.

    Some of the bookings were made a year back and have been cancelled with notice.

    And why would they do this? Because they have landed a lucrative government contract, no doubt worth millions to house illegal asylum seekers.

    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/01/29/disabled-veterans-hotel-booking-cancelled-to-make-room-for-asylum-seekers/

    I hope that joe public makes a note of this and ensures that once the asylum gravy train runs out of steam, so will these hotel groups.

    Disgusting is too nice a word for those running this hotel group.

      UK plan to remove EU law sparks anger

      It’s the two-year anniversary of Brexit, and to mark that the government’s announced a new bill to overhaul EU laws that were copied over during the transition period. The government claims the Brexit Freedoms Bill will cut £1bn of red tape for businesses but it’s sparked anger from devolved nations . Prime Minister Boris Johnson says this will “further unleash the benefits of Brexit”, making UK businesses more competitive but there’s been a backlash from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The plans – which the government have been working on since September – undermine the devolution settlement, according to a source, who also claimed a meeting about the proposal was “last-minute, fractious, and cack-handed”. The bill, Downing Street says, will change the way Parliament can amend and remove legislation, which currently has to go through a special process.

    _123059231_hi070652560.jpg

    There is absolutely no chance the prevalance of black people on the BBC front pages in a country where <4% are black can be not be considered anything else but anti-white racist.

    Which they call 'diversity' instead to hide it.

    And of course all 4 faces I see on the home page are women. Including a Ukranian soldier. I wonder what percentage of that army are women.

    The odds against both NHS staff being black women and the soldier being female if the BBC were actually impartial and unbiased are astronomical.

    The general election in Portugal brings some sort of good news. Though the socialist Party has won a third term of government the populist party Chega has moved into significance by winning 7% of the vote and moving from one seat to twelve seats making them the third largest party in their parliament.
    This might seem like small beer but Portugal has been one of the most resistant European countries to any manifestation of populism up until now.

It is trying to position the government as the baddy whatever happens – if it climbs down and doesn’t sack the dissenters – it’s nasty government . If it stops this policy it is bad for failing to protect the public .

    Personally – if people don’t won’t to get vaccinated – that’s fine – but don’t work in the NHS .

    We could land up with unvaccinated NHS staff sticking needles into members of the public .

      Under the current plans, if they are not fully jabbed by April, they will be redeployed or dismissed.

        “How long did it take for the hepatitis vaccine?

        Baruch Blumberg in 1965. Just four years later, he created the first hepatitis B vaccine using a heat-treated form of the virus. Twelve years later, in 1981, the FDA approved of the first commercially available hepatitis B vaccination, which involved blood samples from infected donors.”
        It’s 95%+ effective and side effects are rare.

        Covid vaccine was rushed through in a couple of months, the trials don’t end even end until next year, so it’s experimental, meaning Nuremberg Code kicks in, and it’s totally ineffective at stopping Omicron , while side effects are legion.

    It was Fleet Street veteran Kelvin MacKenzie who once rather memorably went on BBC Newsnight to champion the local interests of the British media audience by challanging our liberal-minded TV broadcasters over their undue obsession with what he termed “foreign bang-bang

    The issue of Ukraine may not get the coveted tab of its own on the BBC online newspage, as do the titanic news subjects Coronavirus and Climate – and as did for years the much-beloved Brexit, now sadly no more eventually shunned due to lack of popular demand – yet Ukraine still merits no less than five different BBC story headings.

    I’m afraid we’ll have to review both the abreviated click-baity sideshow barker headlines along with their somewhat more measured companion titles:

    There’s the self-consciously self-justificatory hint: ‘Why is the UK worried about Ukraine?‘ twinned with: ‘Ukraine crisis: What’s at stake for the UK?

    The speculative: ‘Decoding Putin’s next move on Ukraine‘ and: ‘Ukraine crisis: Vladimir Putin’s geopolitical jigsaw

    The big boys toys: ‘Ukraine: How big is Russia’s military build-up?‘ – unusually for the BBC we have no rephrasing for the header when we click on this no nonsense speculative tank, gun and rocket count.

    Clues as to how German mistaken green energy policies have added a layer of complexity to the problem, naturally given a positive BBC spin: ‘Why Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a key bargaining chip‘ combines with: ‘Nord Stream 2: How does the pipeline fit into Ukraine-Russia crisis?

    And, as that old catchphrase on BBC magazine show That’s Life used to go: “And finally, Cyril…?” “And finally, Esther…”:

    What sanctions could be imposed on Russia?‘ – no further elucidation appears in the additional BBC headline other than the categorisation of this as yet another Ukraine story delivered care of the BBC for our rapt attention.

    Her Majesty’s press, in the form of the Daily Telegraph, rate Ukraine as a rather minor if just about making the grade as a frontpage story, below government retreat on the NHS vax mandate and tax hike woes: ‘Putin’s oligarchs “will have nowhere to hide”

    Our modern limp-wristed foreign policy impetuous seems to be to hit them in their pockets if we can’t beat them on the battlefield. Afterall, we could do with the cash: ‘Middle classes facing lifetime £1m tax bill‘ (Telegraph); ‘Target the millionaires not millions of workers‘ (freebie Metro)

    Oligarchs linked to Kremiln face crackdown on British wealth‘ (Times)

    What of our own oligarchs, will they ever be brought to heal?

    Best-laid plans. When the super-rich fall foul of planning inspectors‘ (‘i’) – I’m afraid we’re not talking Bill Gates and George Soros here – it’s more your Jeremy Clarkson and your Holly Willoughby.

    Mind you: ‘Princely sum: Meghan and Harry signed a deal said to be worth £18m to produce podcasts for Spotify… So will Harry and Meghan join the Spotify revolt? Pressure to cut ties with streaming giant over anti-vaxxer propaganda‘ – one hears the Sussexes have only as yet produced one podcast show – and that was a stinker – so this could be a face-saving virtue-signallers ideal way out of the deal.

    In crime news: ‘Burglars go unpunished as just 5% of cases solved‘ (Times) – how interesting – in light of this being a constantly highlighted and reported scandal: ‘Only 1.7% of reported rapes prosecuted in England and Wales, new figures show‘ (Independent September 2019)

    The BBC has reminded us that the queen is having some platinum thing – which ends in 125 days on the 3rd of June with some sort of ‘national holiday ‘.

    This could be a bit tricky for the republic anti British BBC …
    ..obviously plenty of luvvies with smell the potential gong but the Marxists who celebrate approved terrorist groups – Islam – IRA – will find it a bit tricky ….

    Considering that one member of the queens family will spend 2022 in court and and grandson is a fruit hoop – it doesn’t look promising …

    “Man seriously sexually assaulted in Cardiff city centre – police appeal”

    “The force issued a description, saying the suspect was believed to be of mixed race, possibly Indian or Arabic, in his mid-twenties, approximately 5ft 9 ins tall with short black hair.”

    Wow! This media clearly not (yet) got the message from our ‘Worlds Most Trusted’

    Clearly a shortage of children.

    9am masculinity
    Fiona Benson, Nina Power and Angelica Malin discuss male power with Helen Lewis.
    Producer: Katy Hickman

    There’s supposed to be a male panelist Ivan Jablonka, but I’ve not heard him speak.
    .. Oh they are just doing his segment
    He appears to be French, speaking less confident English.

    #IvanJablonka addresses in the book the origins of patriarchy in societies and religions,
    based on the fact that, not having the ability to procreate, man chose to appropriate control of society.

    He’s described as a male feminist historian.

    But despite all the above and despite outrage in Government and despite her vile ANTISEMITIC remarks, the BBC still thought she was suitable for the role and went ahead and appointed her BBC news editor..

    How can she be deemed as ”IMPARTIAL”

    TOADY Watch #1 – Oooh, er, we need a diversionary or two … aaaghhh, Partygate & National Insurance may be going down the pan

    Probably some frantic behind the scenes conferences between Presenters (Justin & Simon … looks like Laura might not get a Toady seat after all) and their Editors for this mornings programme. First diversionary is Rosie Duffield MP who is ‘considering her future’ in the Labour Party after encountering lots of Labour ‘love’. Of course the BBC can now claim that they ‘criticise’ Labour as well as the Conservatives although it will be interesting to see how long that Rosie Duffield story is around or ‘kept active’.

    Therefore with JustRemainIn Webb as senior Presenter this morning, the EU came up as second choice. Of course the BBC can claim that the PM is only doing it as a distraction from the Gray Report into Partygate and mention Partygate again. And one more time. Just once more.

    I think Rosie Duffield should cross the floor and join the Conservatives. At least the Conservatives don’t hate as much as Labour people, have friends and know how to party with them!

    The BBC’s main headline this morning is a text book example of how they lie by inference.

    “Brexit: UK plan to remove EU law sparks nations’ anger”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60191402

    What? British people across the land are up in arms? British People want to keep EU laws?

    You have to read right to the bottom before you tumble to the fact that the “Nations” referred to are not in fact the whole of the UK but the usual suspects being the plotters Sturgeon and Drakeford so no surprise there then.

    They even dress up the article with a huge photo of two very sorry looking Union Flags, one of which is torn under a bleak and dark looking stormy sky (courtesy of Reuters) in an attempt to reinforce the sad “Failing Nation” angle. (bet that took an underling some googling!)

    The very fact that the BBC tag them as “Nations” speaks volumes about the BBC’s position, intent and viewpoint.

    I expected the Queen of Scotland and King of Wales to try to muddy the waters but not with the blatant support of the BBC.

    They are the pits!

    The BBC just hate Brexit and relish any opportunity of sticking two fingers up to the majority of the population don’t they?

        Thank goodness Bill Cash is still Chair of the European Scrutiny Committee.
        https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/69/european-scrutiny-committee/news/160638/mps-assess-future-of-retained-eu-laws/
        Commenting on the new inquiry, Committee Chairman Sir William Cash said, “The transposing of swathes of EU law into UK law following Brexit was never meant to be a permanent solution. It is a stopgap that was ultimately intended to be replaced.

        Retained EU law is a unique concept. It creates a complex legal system, over part of which the European Court’s writ remains influential. We’ll examine the fitness of such laws in the UK post-Brexit.

        The matter is of great constitutional importance governing swathes of legislation passed over 40 years of membership with the EU. What happens next will determine who should be responsible for the interpretation of legislation in the UK, and how law is reshaped post-Brexit, issues our inquiry will take a great interest in.”

    BBC2 really spoiled us yesterday…

    At 6.45 they gave us Match of the Day, the Africa Cup of Nations football competition, where Senegal took on …some other African country…I mean, who the bloody Hell was watching this?

    Then we were entertained by; The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita, who were visiting Barbados as it prepares to become a republic and thus cut its ties to the UK. I’ve got to be honest, I gave it a miss…

    And after that enlightening little hour’s worth, they gave us Sidney Poitier’s Oscar winning film, In the Heat of the Night. Now, this is a cracking film…and we all know the story… but FFS give us a break from the endless black promoting propaganda.

    I’m an Englishman, living in (what’s left of) England.

    Michael Mosely claimed that since a 95 yo heart surgery patient caught Covid in hospital and died, “the cause is likely an UNVACCINATED patient”.
    Again flaky since most around him were NHS vaccinated workers he probably caught it from VACCINATED person.

      The problem if Boris goes is that it sets a new precedent for what the MSM expect to be able to get away with and how much power the BBC think they wield. They will have removed a political enemy PM by sheer weight of negative reporting. The idea that Boris should resign because of these parties is simply ridiculous. They don’t even register on the scale of important issues facing the country.

      This is the follow on from where Trump was impeached 3 times and aquitted 3 times. The scandal should have been that the opposition used impeachment to try to remove a political enemy but the subject was entirely ignored.

      It’s a very, very dark day for our democracy if Boris is forced to resign over this.

        Totally agree. Also we can anticipate that the UK will be steered back into closer orbit of the EU once Boris has been deposed.
        As you say the finger prints of how Trump was deposed are all over partygate. Boris was set up and got rid of because he was an obstacle to the Rejoiners, just as Trump was an obstacle to the globalists.
        Yet another example of how weak democracy has become in the 21 st century. It may already be clinically dead.

          There is another similarity with the Trump downfall. Neither he nor Boris bothered to defend themselves against the media that was to prove so much a part of both their downfalls. Trump did not protect his small time supporters on the internet and Boris always rushed to defend the BBC.
          It is my belief that Boris should he somehow survive this hammering still won’t do anything serious about the BBC.

    However this 36 min update about his own cases is worth it
    Bottomline he signals he’s no grifter by saying he’s earning enough now , to fund the rest of his own cases which will bring the cost to about £1million
    (much of the first £300K was funded by donations)
    He mentions the troll who impersonated him who was jailed without the police even informing Bellfield
    He then goes on to say he doesn’t understand why the police are still trying to get his own November Crown court jury trial delayed and are refusing to hand over info they are obliged to
    I suspect actually there are other court cases coming up similar that first trolls and the police want them done first before releasing evidence.
