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 ….

For anoraks the gray report is on the number 10 website . I’ve read it . It’s 8 pages – nut nut indirectly takes a kicking but I don’t think it will be enough to end him . Nothing in it says he lied to the commons – either directly or indirectly.
Unfortunately there is not the detail needed because of the I’ll timed decision of plod to investigate
One phrase which sticks out is “no excuse for excessive consumption of alcohol in the workplace ‘….
My take might be wrong – we will see
Sorry I can’t do links …
So was it just the Cervical Serpents knocking back the Asti Spumante, and guzzling the crisps during work hours?
They can go for a start, and then we’ll deal with the spads and the political Clingons!
By then the National Debt will have got worse by several billion.
The BBC are similar sorts of fatly-paid serpent, they obviously knew what was going on, so then they’re complicit as well.
And all on my taxes…
God give me strength!
Just read the report..
Damning but who’s to blame. Based on what ive read Boris survives, for now..!!!
We await the next installment, EPISODE 2 : THE POLICE

Like some other irrelevant leftie, about being asked to go on GB News I’ve got to buy some pins to stick in my eyes about then!
Wasn’t that invite to talk about Barry Cryer ? I’ll be honest I probably would have done the same. When he was always on the box a few decades ago, I thought he was up his own bum back then !
It was always fun when he was confused with Barry Took though!
I thought those two were always good value, and funny most of the time, unlike the weak snowflake kids who tell jokes in the playground, and eventually get called up by the BBC.
Interesting that the BBC is, we are told, cash-strapped from the government’s decision to freeze the TV Licence (…and who knows what thereafter), but the BBC can still afford to re-launch a complete new TV channel, which must, because it is BBC, have a prime channel number on Freeview, causing goodnes knows how many other longer-term channels to change their channel number, and inconveniencing their viewers…..
….. stuff it – defund the BBC.

The headline story by the BBC on the Gray report is the most childish, spiteful and pathetic thing I think I’ve ever seen. They really are like 12 year olds. I almost can’t believe just how unprofessional and blatantly biased it is. They have given up any pretence at all that is it just about the parties and are mud-slinging anything at all they can find which can be spun against Boris using their usual techniques.
The first 2 MP’s they choose to quote say it all. Lammy and the leader of the Lib Dems.
And of course Angela Rayner gets top-billing again.
I fully expect they will open a HYS on it later. And it will be flooded by similarly spiteful students. It has become a bit of an echo chamber for Leftists now as everyone else doesn’t bother with the BBC any more.
It’s just incredible how far the BBC has fallen.
As predicted, they just opened an article on the report and it’s open for HYS.
I can’t bring myself to go into it to read any comments. It will be full of bile and spite.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – there is a convention that past PM’s do not comment about or question their successors
I gather Theresa May MP has ‘criticised’ the PM in the House. That ought to demonstrate to Conservative MP’s who are a bit ‘hard of thinking’ what this is all about: Brexit.
Up2
She has occupied the Ted Heath Grumpy woman seat .
I hear she is very good with a knife – particularly in the back – bitter means bitter ….
Fed, Heath would be another good example for Stew. He was like a cat called Kalamazoo.
@Up2Snuff Often broken convention ?
Telegraph 14 Sept 2019
“David Cameron attacks Boris Johnson and Michael Gove..
In a departure from the convention that former prime ministers do not criticise their successors, he says Mr Johnson lied “
‘Occasionally’ might be better Stew. John Major for all his faults and failings as a PM resolutely kept his mouth shut while he still had a seat in the House. Cannot think of any other than May and Cameron in my lifetime. Cameron, of course, was no longer an MP in 2019: he resigned his seat in 2016 and left Parliament to write his memoirs.
SUE GRAY’S REPORT
Its incredible, the BBC are behaving like rabid animals…
Against the backdrop of the pandemic, when the Government was askingcitizens to accept far-reaching restrictions on their lives, some of the behavioursurrounding these gatherings is difficult to justify.ii. At least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure toobserve not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart ofGovernment but also of the standards expected of the entire British populationat the time.
MM “observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart ofGovernment but also of the standards expected of the entire British populationat the time.” the Government is more than Boris Johnson as PM. How many Civil Serpents have resigned today?
Boris says sorry ….

The BBC won’t want you to see this:
Hard evidence of massive, co-ordinated voter fraud at the 2020 US election.
“True the Vote’ has been working with Dinesh D’Souza to create a bombshell movie that uses footage they obtained of ballot boxes in key states across America to steal the election in 2020.
Using geo-tracking devices, True the Vote was able to take footage from drop boxes across America in key states like Georgia and others to track over 2,000 “mules” wearing gloves and disguises to stuff ballot boxes.
Dinesh D’Souza narrates the clip from his upcoming movie “2,000 Mules”:
“This one “mule” made 53 trips to 20 drop boxes.
He’s not alone.
We tracked 2,000 mules making multiple ballot drops.
Leaving no fingerprints.
A coordinated ring of illegal vote harvesting in all the key states where the election was decided.
Game over.”

Anyone watching the nut nut commons show was treated to Ian blackford going very very red – going into orbit and getting a red card from the speaker ….

..Blackford who slagged off all Tory MP’s for out of Parliament earnings only to discover that the same Mr Blackford has earned £270k since 2015 for out of Parliament consultancy work and has also been employing his son in law on a salary since being elected
Odious lump of crap

Theresa May on immigration … from ‘hard’ line to ‘pink no line’ …
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018
When Blackford comes on screen, I imagine him as a toady plump little boy who wasn’t well liked at school because he was the class snitch, and did devious things behind his classmates back. (I may be totally wrong of course, and he was the school heartthrob – ha ! ha ! ha !)
Krankies nickname at school was ‘seaweed’ because even the tide wouldn’t take her out.
The Left are nasty, bitter people full of hate. Just read the BBC HYS comments these days.

Legendary drag performer RuPaul has opened up the famous Drag Race franchise, for the first time inviting queens from the UK, the Netherlands, America, Canada and Thailand to compete together.
Labour poised ready for power
I believe I saw a picture of that rather inadequate Labour Leader Kier Starmer endulging in a party situation at Labour HQ during Lockdown-the picture was shown in the Daily Mail. Now what has been said about that? Exactly-nothing whatsoever-this partygate issue has been very much one sided and with frankly far more very serious issues facing this nation and now the threatening advance of Russian troops gathering on the borders of the Ukraine, it is time to close the door on the No 10 Downing Street party situation fiasco. We should ensure our MP’s start to pull the full political measures together necessary to get this nation out of its financial mess and push away from the suspect measures of Covid that have been thrown at us for the last 2 years. Stop immediately all further use of the so called experimental Vaccine, stop mask wearing, and especially those in front of the camera-stop the BBC from advising us night after night as to the Covid case numbers of deaths, which are in themselves very suspect. Government must seriously consider the views of other very notable scientists on the issues surrounding the Covid virus. Not doing so will clearly tell us all that what we have been told is untrue, lies mor lies we don’t need.
IMHO there are a lot of worried Tory MPs this evening ?
Following the news about all the ‘No 10 parties’ during lockdown, it does not look good for Bo Jo and his chums.
Their only salvation is to get back to what we voted them in power for, for a start, to get us totally out of the EU. To take back control of our borders and to get rid of Al Beeb’s telly tax .
There are alternative parties to the Conservatives and Labour, ie UKIP and The Reform Party .
Over to you voters ………………………
taffman, you state “Their only salvation is to get back to what we voted them in power for, for a start, to get us totally out of the EU.”
Doesn’t that give you a clue what all this Partygate thing is about? It is Whitehall’s revenge for Brexit and the part the PM played at the last minute in 2016 and then since. Get Bojo out of the way and the BBC, Labour under the Sucker and Whitehall will lead us creeping back in to the EU fold.
Up2snuff
Partygate ?
Those that set the rules were not sticking by them while, at the same time they had the audacity to prosecute the ordinary people of Great Britain who did not obey them
Just what was Covid 19 all about ? Was it that bad ? It could not have been, because those in power did not obey their own rules . I am not a Labour or a Conservative person but it does not look good for Bo Jo the buffoon.
I am sure that Tory voters will agree with me – he has let them and us down. He will now weaponize the threat that if he does not stay in office Brexit will get reversed, but It was UKIP and The Brexit Party that got that going .
Tory MPs and voters are not happy with him he has got to go.
taffman, it strikes me that the whole thing was a set-up. Hopefully, the Met. will discover who dunnit by I suspect it will be hushed up or have to be hushed up. If you cannot see it look at the whole news trend of 2020 and 2021.
Up2,
That is the Remainers plot and why Boris must stay unless we can be sure that a strong Brexiteer will replace him.
I say plot not plan because it seems very odd to me that the leaks re partygate took place 18 months after the event and owhen the Covid crisis is close to the end. The Remainers probably didn’t have all their ducks in a row until now and didn’t want to pull the trigger prematurely.
Boris has many failings , BBC, NPI, Green Agenda, HS2, levelling up , immigration which make me want him replaced but NOT by someone who will take us back into a close orbit of the EU.
However, I think that no matter who is PM or in the cabinet the blob will block them from implementing anything with which it doesn’t agree. Democracy is on life support.
“Democracy is on life support.”
That should be bottled, DT!
Better than a comment I heard this morning, that Steve Allen on LBC is ‘Grade One Listed’!
(He really is a great broadcaster, and because his delivery is so versatile and great fun, the others, mainly lefties like Nick Abbott, Darren Adam and O’Brien, can’t really be taken seriously, but at least they are entertaining, and sometimes quite informative and funny)!
I really enjoy looking around for alternative stations to the awful BBC, which just produces dried up old harridans, and bollockless blokes, or silly kids whinging about things that no normal citizen gives a toss about.
Plus he claims he’s tested positive (convenient).
BBC Trudeau News Drop … when no one cares …. will be replaced by other news by the morning … nice … timing is everything.
Mr Trudeau’s political rivals also noted this is not Mr Trudeau’s first ethics violation.
In December 2017, the federal ethics commissioner office found that Mr Trudeau’s luxury trips to the Aga Khan’s island in the Bahamas violated four conflict of interest rules.
Mr Trudeau, his family, and some senior members of the Liberal Party vacationed on the island owned by the philanthropist and spiritual leader in 2016.

All this time spent on cake with mainly remoaners like may ganging up on the PM.
Can you imagine in 1939, Chamberlain and the whole of Parliament spending weeks on whether the cream or jam goes on the scone first.
Russians gathering on the Ukraine border and they are squabbling about who had some cake.
Who’s cake ?
Who ate all the cake ?
Police inquiry – another month or two
report to the CPS – another month –
decision ? – no further action / charge of perverting justice ‘ misconduct in public office – arrest – charge – 1 month –
1st court appearance – 1 month
– trial 3 months – guilt finding ? –
appeal 3 months …
So that’s at least 8 months from now before the case can be talked about by hon. Members or taxpayer voters
….September …..
Boris – can have your cake and eat it!

We have still got one foot in the EU.
We still have a mass invasion on the South coast and we still have Al Beeb and the stupid telly tax .
What’s more we still pay VAT while our fish are being robbed from under our very own noses by the EU.

Joe ‘Rogue’ Rogan is under attack from the usual suspects…the pro-lockdown, pro-forced vaccination lobby that includes the BBC.
Here’s what he said about one lie from CNN that was meant to mock and discredit him…
‘News broadcaster CNN reported that Rogan had taken ‘horse dewormer’ as a treatment for Covid instead of getting vaccinated.
He claims the medical cocktail helped him recover and joked that he might ‘sue CNN’ for slamming his use and promotion of Ivermectin.
‘They’re making s*** up. They keep saying I’m taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. It’s an American company. They must know that’s a lie.’
‘It’s a lie on a news network… and it’s a lie that they’re conscious of. It’s not a mistake. They’re unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine.’
‘Why would you say that when you’re talking about a drug that’s been given out to billions and billions of people?’ ‘
This morning on 5 Live Rachel Burden sneared at and mocked Laurence Fox who has covid and treats it with Ivermectin…Burden told us he was using a horse dewormer and then ‘hoped’ he would, of course, get better….which anyone listening would know to be the exact opposite of what she thought. An ignorant, snooty little c*w laughing at a man who has covid…of course she was the one who defended Corbyn telling us he definitely wasn’t an anti-Semite…there just isn’t any evidence apparently.
Ivermectin is used by millions of people around the world as an effective medicine…for a variety of ailments….is it effective against covid? The jury is out…but there are studies so clearly not dismissed and mocked as some lunatic fringe remedy as Burden implies.
This is from Reuters…
‘The University of Oxford said on Wednesday it was testing anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a possible treatment for COVID-19, as part of a British government-backed study that aims to aid recoveries in non-hospital settings.
Ivermectin resulted in a reduction of virus replication in laboratory studies, the university said, adding that a small pilot showed giving the drug early could reduce viral load and the duration of symptoms in some patients with mild COVID-19.’
Hmmm….so it has some credibility unless you’re an idiot BBC presenter who has none.
Naturally the BBC is also after Rogan….here placing him in the category of disinformation and conspiracy theory peddlar…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-60192957
‘Joe Rogan pledges to try harder after Neil Young Spotify row’
That headline immediately tries to put him in the wrong and the text continues to spin against him…just one example…
‘Rogan has discouraged vaccination in young people and promoted the use of the unproven anti-parasitic drug ivermectin to treat the virus.’
Hmmm….er…so has just about everyone when it suited their agenda….
The BBC [which wanted the vaccines to be sent to developing countries instead]…
‘Scientists not backing Covid jabs for 12 to 15-year-olds
The JCVI said children were at such a low risk from the virus that jabs would offer only a marginal benefit.’
The Guardian…
‘Vaccine advisers not planning to back Covid jabs for children, says UK minister….Vaccination experts are not planning to recommend Covid-19 jabs for children, a cabinet minister has said, while prominent academics have suggested that existing doses should be used to immunise vulnerable people around the world before those in the UK who are relatively safe.’
Oh look…the BBC again…and don’t forget the AZ vaccine was attacked by the Europeans and finally shelved here….so just how safe was it…bear in mind that the problems were restricted to a very small number of people and yet they stopped it….hmmm….they say the same about other vaccines and deaths…very small numbers….but they back those vaccines…
‘New questions over safety of AstraZeneca vaccine for young adults raised by UK – BBC News’
So Rogue Rogan is in fact pretty mainstream as he explores the issues.
Compare the Mail’s report on Rogan to the BBC’s and you will find a much better class of journalism…the Mail actually looks in detail at what Rogan says.
‘What does Joe Rogan say about vaccines and is it that outrageous?’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10459419/What-does-Joe-Rogan-say-vaccines-outrageous.html
The BBC has completely lost its way, its moral compass and its purpose as it campaigns for so many things and acts as the mouthpiece and attack dog for government in regard to covid…attacking any who dare to raise any concerns on the subject and the government’s handling of it.
The BBC is totally unfit for its role, failing utterly to ‘hold power to account’ and to fairly and without prejudice represent the views of all….shaming, stigmatising and demonising any who criticise lockdown or the ‘enforced’ vaccines.
The BBC is something Stalin would be familiar with and more than happy to have on his side.

Ukraine-Russia tensions: UK threatens tougher sanctions in event of aggression
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60203200
“Currently the government can only impose sanctions on those directly linked to Russian actions in Ukraine.
But the new powers will allow it to target a much broader range of individuals and businesses.”
Great, our government granting themselves evermore powers.Media unconcerned
“Ms Truss, who will visit Ukraine and Moscow in the next two weeks, said the UK had already trained 20,000 troops in Ukraine, supplied anti-tank missiles, and given support to its navy and energy sector.”
Training and equipping foreign troops again.
Can’t we keep our snouts out.
Training and equipping foreign troops again. I’m sure the Russians will be terrified of the critical race theory and diversity training they now have – absolutely necessary when fighting an unreconstructed enemy intent on occupying your country.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – the BBC have gone so ‘ape’ over the Gray Report . . …
… . . . that they have forgotten to update the web-site page with the latest Covid infection figures: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
The figures are late cos for the first time, reinfected people will be counted.
“The current estimated time for the data is 10pm”
Stew, is that not from 1st February? It will also skew the data, because there will be no comparison figures.
@Up2snuff no, tomorrow’s change is to death reporting
Today’s numbers
Positives 92,368
Deaths just 51
Stew, numbers are still not available on the BBC web-site. Just looked.
BBC’s disinformation unit says “look over there ..cats !”
Today Schraer put out a lot tweets for ONE person.
38 tweets in 13 hours
Saturday Schraer was under attack
cos her article attacked Dr Campbell and ended by saying
“The BBC has contacted Mr Nawaz, Dr Campbell and Mr Davis.”
Yet Campbell put up a video saying he had no contact from her
Saturday she eventually replied by posting screenshots of her Twitter message and email
Only to delete them quickly ..as if she’d forgotten to conceal his private email address.
Then Sunday her only tweet was the cat tweet
Today she reposted the screenshots
But FFS you can’t fire off an email/twitter msg into the air and say that counts as “having contacted” someone.
Whether it’s Twitter or email celebs probably only see msgs from existing contacts
and the rest get filtered into spam.
… The standard way to contact celebs is through an intermediary who is not swamped.
Her tweet says actually, I asked him for interview with 48 hours’ notice as is standard and he didn’t respond.
Then he messaged me with 1 hour’s notice on a saturday before putting his vid out.
I responded immediately after seeing it and he didn’t reply for another 2 days..

Ayia Napa: Woman convicted of gang rape lie wins appeal
The Derbyshire woman was tried and convicted of causing public mischief in Cyprus
A British woman who reported being gang-raped in Cyprus has had her conviction for allegedly lying about the attack overturned.
The woman, then 19, told Cypriot police she had been raped by 12 Israeli men and boys in Ayia Napa in July 2019.
The Derbyshire teenager retracted the allegation after being held without a lawyer, and was then tried and convicted of causing public mischief.
Her conviction was overturned at the Supreme Court in Cyprus.

Via their press partners.
Yes it does indeed look like the civil servants were the prime movers in partygate and the key question is why did the plotters wait 18 months to leak? It’s is Remainers plot.
Yup. It’s ALL 100% about the last chance to minimise or even reverse Brexit before everything is signed and sealed.
BBC Parties?
He run Brexit polls for the bbc too?
The bitter comments blaming Farage are absolutely typical of the Left.
Nigel got us the vote. The people voted to leave. The left HATE democracy. That’s why they keep trying to get rid of it so they can stay in power.

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19
Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.
Cheers,

We used to off load our jobs to the EU and never once laughed at them! HA HA HA HA!

The unique and underrepresented edition
I say beware a media which claims to speak for the nation.
One feels the Daily Mail is typical in representing more the denizens of their own news room than the habitués of the proverbial Clapham omnibus: ‘A NATIONAL clamour for the full release of the Partygate report erupted last night‘
Let me pause for a moment to quell my overwhelming anticipation for imminent sight of: '… 300 pictures handed over… zero shame‘ (Daily Mirror) – seriously… is there anything so dull as other peoples’ party pics?
Entre nous, I’m just about sick to the back teeth with the story.
Now, if it were Silvio Berlusconi and his infamous “Bunga Bunga” parties… but how much more cheese and wine lubricated office party talk can we take?
Surely there are other issues at stake? Issues that affect our daily lives? Speaking of the Clapham omnibus – or a modern analogy: ‘Passengers face years of masks on flights‘ (Times)
And I refer to newsrooms but suspect many journos since lockdown are more than happy to keep phoning it it. Maybe that’s why our newspapers seem to have gone to the dogs: ‘Anna Murphy. I was bitten by a pandemic puppy‘ (Times); ‘Doggy day care and the sad return of working alone. Zoe Williams‘ (Guardian)
A dog may be a girl’s best friend but the‘i’ newspaper is banging on again about new extended family plans: ‘My children have three mums – we’re an ordinary family‘
How so?
‘My lesbian, blended family is unique and underrepresented, but it’s usually adults who struggle to understand us because we don’t fit the traditional model.’
‘I met my wife, Samantha, five years ago on Tinder. For our first date, we went to a rooftop bar across the street from my office in London. We talked all night and bar staff had to tell us to leave as they were closing. I knew right away that I wanted her in my life, but I didn’t have any inclination of just how much how my life would change because she was in it.’
‘I went from a corporate career woman working in the City enjoying nights out, frivolous shopping, girls’ holidays and brunches, to caring for two children under three years old with a partner. This meant living in the countryside, doing school pick-ups and changing nappies, a hellish thought to many of the women I know in the City. In the past, I might have thought it was my idea of hell too, but becoming a stepmum has changed me. I have become a better person. I have also become part of something much bigger than myself – a blended family.’
We’ve reached quite a place and society is looking rocky when the role model representation of traditional family life presented in our liberal media is the rap artist-dating, raunchy Barbados-born tabloid-tale friendly singstress Rihanna: ‘Mamma Riha! Pop star Rihanna shows the world she is pregnant with her first child… the singer 33, posed with rapper boyfriend ASAP Rocky…‘ (Sun) at least there was a chap somewhere in the picture.
AISI, thing that struck me about the newspaper front pages was the sad, slumped, figure of a failed Prime Minister two rows back from the front bench on the Government side. The Telegraph and the Guardian have the same photo, the latter is surprising as you would think that in their visceral hatred for the current PM they would want to make his predecessor something other than a sack of flour.

Robinson versus Raab
16 minutes . What did Robinson ask Raab about ? Covid (no)
Ukraine ( no) Chinese spying ( no) cost of living ( no) taxes (no) – economy ( no) – just one subject …..
… those who see the ‘target nut nut ‘ campaign who see it as the first battle to rejoin the EU by getting the brexit party out and bringing the remainer party – are correct .
That’s what it’s about . So nut nut needs supports- however repulsive he might be …
Same on LBC – Darren Adam, this morning!
Every statement was spitting at Boris, and became tiresome after a while! Every caller, even the brighter ones were doing the same, but the thick ones were clearly chosen carefully!
Although he’s an accredited leftie, his decent nature gets shoved aside whenever there’s an opportunity to sneer at the government, and of course, Boris personally! President Trump also got the usual knocking, and when he interviewed an American about whatever problems they have – and there are many – they have over there, not one mention of Biden was made! Nor Harris.
Luckily, Steve Allen followed and immediately ‘poo pooed’ him, so normality was restored!

We seem to either have 3 real opposition parties to the blue Labour Party – the BBC – the red Labour Party and the hateful SNP …..
As I wrote above – l havs no time for nut nut – he was the least qualified person to be a politician – yet alone PM – but had one thing – luck – which has now run out .
He is now the new Trump – the bubble will do everything – all the time – to destroy him – in the name of the EU …. – and a one party socialist woke state …
Fed, you forget the NHS, academe plus the Whitehall machine or blob. It is a big swamp to drain.

Thanks . Makes you wonder what happened to the likes of Canada Australia – NZ – which seems to have embraced ‘nanny state ‘ even worse than the UK .
Any civic opposition is now an ‘attempted coup’ or an ‘insurrection ‘ as opposed to a protest .
How trudo or Ardern got elected is beyond me – or did they use the Biden/Obama method …?
Notice – too – the non reporting by the BBC …
Tomorrow at Gobblers Knob Punxatawny Phil will make his annual prediction as to whether there will be another 6 more weeks of Winter of if Spring is going to arrive.
What the BBC won’t be telling you is that collossal Left wing liberal failure Joe De Blasio once was invited to a similar gathering at New York zoo, and being a Socialist where everything they touch turns to failure, dropped the groundhog, which later died from internal injuries sustained.
Of course as a Socialist failure is a way of life and De Blasio undeterred by his lethal ideology returned the following year to find the zoo had locked the poor creature away to prevent him killing it.
No doubt you might hear a report about the prediction of Punxatawny Phil, surrounded by White men but it will be fleeting if there is any report at all.
Funny old world.
Here the media are doing everything they can to oust a PM, and the public are not buying.
In Canada the public are doing all they can to protest a PM, and the media have been bought to stop it.
The only common factor is the media got bought in both cases.
Guest, correct but what about Cummings? Has he been bought? Unlikely, as he’s wealthy enough to not have to work much (think he owns a club or bar in the north-east) and his parents own a farm. Instead, has his family been threatened to get him to the position of hating his old boss? Or is it just good old-fashioned revenge wanting to hit back at Carrie Antoinette and get her out of No.10?

bbc in its elements
I wonder if anyone can help me ? I assume that all the alleged party offences now fall out the time limit for prosecutions ?
Therefore plod is actually investigation potential serious breaches of the criminal law such as perverting the course of justice or misfeasance ? In public office by destroying evidence of covid breaches – which cannot be prosecuted …..?
For all the outrage and words the MSM is using over this – there doesn’t seem clarity on crimes ….
Is it the 1st of April – mail has a headline about the ‘catcall police ‘ of undercover female plod walking the streets in plain clothes trying to catch make drivers making ‘cat calls ‘….
Surely fools day ?
Wolf-Whistling, a hate crime?
It was widely reported in the Guardian that Nottinghamshire police are going to be investigating offensive wolf-whistling and similar behaviour as a hate crime with a view to make Nottingham a safer place for women. It is the first police force to classify sexism as a hate crime. There are presently five types of crime that police forces must record; race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and trans gender identity. I do however wonder if silly misogynistic behaviour should be categorised as a hate crime ?
Sort of reminds me of those science fiction novels / films where emotions are crimes ….
… I hope a paper publishes pictures of said lady plod so that taxpayers can judge whether they’d be worthy of a whistle ?
( declaration – I have never wolf whistled or thought of wolf whistling at a pretty girl And do not condone the practice ) ….
Another day same old crap from the media…
I let my dog out this morning at 05.30 for a slash and even at that time in the morning it was wall to wall ”we hate Boris”.
Dan Walker saying that the whole country was angry and wanted answers, im not angry and i dont know anybody else who’s angry. The only thing im hearing is people saying how pi–ed off they are with this constant Partygate crap.
BBC Radio 5 Live were shocking, just constant anti government waffle. It was a free for all from the BBC.
This is my take on it….The sole aim from the BBC and left wing media is to oust Johnson by whatever means possible, thankfully they are not getting what they want and as such are getting more and more frustrated and angry.
Even after all this crap they know Johnson is still as popular as ever and is still a vote winner. As one constituent in Grimsby said on Sky this morning, ” Boris is a pain in the bum sometimes, but he gets things done and he still has my vote”. To me this sums up what the majority are thinking and what recent polls suggest.
Despite the best efforts of the BBC and the rest of the left wing media and despite them coming up with obvious porky pies about how we all supposedly feel, they know deep down its not true and they know deep down Boris Johnson is still a major vote winner and electoral threat..
Tory MP’s know damned well what side there bread is buttered and they know damned well that getting rid of Johnson, despite his faults, could lose them there seat.
As one Boris hater said after leaving the Tory meeting last night..”no way will we get the 54 letters required”
When the dust settles on all this and things move on the Government will need to take a hard look at the appalling conduct of the BBC. I dont know about anybody else but what ive witnessed recently is staggering.
The truckers rebellion in Canada contrasts nicely with Partygate.
In Canada we have the governing establishment trying to suppress a rebellion of the people and using the media to portray them a fringe group of fascists .
In the UK we have the establishment trying to overthrow a democratically elected Brexiteer and using the media to help do it.
