Midweek 9 February 2022

How long will the BBC campaign to unseat an elected PM go on for ? It is using the same hateful onslaught used daily against president Trump – another politician on the ‘disapproved ‘ list . The answer might be ‘for ever ‘….

      Nadia “the Doctor” Who can Tardis into Mecca (bbc/The Hajj) with her Transgender-Apostate-Muslim-Non-Binary-Coloured-Gay sidekick and their pet pig Percy. Then the Tardis malfunctions due to a time distortion generated from a strange black rock that’s shaped like a ladies body part.

      They must now escape, knowing that it’s the Haji with 14 million visitors and non-Muslims aren’t allowed in Mecca.

      What will Nadia do? Will the sidekick wear the full face veil or learn the Shahadah in time to conform or will she say who she is, and stand her ground? What about Percy the pig?

    BBC , Liberal/left greenery people ,

    If the people of Britain achieve the net zero economy in 2030 or 3040 or whatever and we are the first to do so , what is our reward ?

    I mean , if we are the first , and leading the world , what is the prize ?
    I dont mean civil serpents and politicians able to strut the world stage in glory , what is in it for us ?
    What do we , the ordinary Joe , get out of this ?

    Tips for the next BBC green prog…

    1) Buy everything on Amazon, etc., with the maximum amount of cardboard packaging for ease of transit, or take all your groceries home from Tesco in their discarded wine boxes.
    2) Collect said cardboard, fold into a tight wedge about 12″ x 6″, and bind it all together with thin wire.
    3) Burn it on your open fire to warm your home.
    4) Retrieve the wire for the next parcels, and chuck the ash on your garden for a nourishing natural mulch.

    Think of the costs and benefits saved in all directions, less transport for rubbish, less coal to buy, a warmer home and a general feeling of added warmth, knowing you’re pissing off the BBC!

    …real panic at the BBC this morning with the resignation of Cressida Dick.

    Real concern that there plan to oust Boris may be affected by her resignation and the ongoing investigation into Downing Street.

    Don’t worry BBC, the MET has confirmed it won’t be affected…

    Today watch

    Oh Hell – I feel sorry for Meeshal today . She interviewed an economist from the ONS about newly released data today …. Oh hell Uk is one of the fastest growing G7 economies – ‘it’s better than expected’ sez bloke ….

    …oh the narrative …. We re all doomed … project fear working – but NO – the economy is recovering – dame sez BBC –
    I’m guessing we won’t hear much from the Far Left for a while but Cummings is bound to put out another tedious party picture from 2 Years ago – cue traitors like heseltine – major – brown – .. you know the cast ….

    As I said – felt sorry for meeshaall – car crash for her …

    Meanwhile – the loopy our Justin happily asked the head of the London assembly whether it is time to end met plod and start again with something else … I was waiting for the loon to talk about ‘defunding plod ‘.

    I’m wondering about the current madness – do you think the brain is effected by the face masks inhibiting breathing and putting more CO2 into the collective brain ?

    Or is it just hippy kidults at the keyboards making ‘public opinion ‘loopy ?

    Unexpected Dick extraction
    Cressida gets a carpeting she didn’t enjoy

    Kudos to the giveaway Metro this morning for the snappiest punning tabloid rendition of a headline heralding the sudden sacking yesterday of the Met Police chief: ‘Cressida Ditched

    Less so to the ‘i’ newspaper for their less than headline-worthy construction: ‘11am “I have absolutely no intention of going” 7.09pm “It is with huge sadness that I step aside”

    What does the ‘i’ expect? 11am “I think it’s odds on that I get the elbow today, especially after this latest cock-up on my watch” 7.09 “See, I told you so. I’ll be spending a lot more time in future with my pension”

    The left-leaning ‘i’ credits Little Man Khan for finally lancing the diversity hire boil on the bum of the capital’s uniformed paramiltary social work service/force: ‘Sadiq Khan says he no longer has confidence in her to tackle racism, misogyny, homophobia, bullying, indiscipline and corruption in the force‘ – phew! Perhaps when the new Met Commissinoner… He, She or Them… gets through all of that workload then Londoners will hope they might eventually get around to some policing?

    My escalating council tax money says the next boss will be as black as your hat. Which is ok and only to be expected these days… if they can perhaps find one who hasn’t recently ordered the shooting of any innocent Brazilians. That would be a boon. The Guardian evisages the job description which Ms Dick failed to deliver as: ‘… to deal with a culture of misogyny and racism in Britain’s largest force‘ – This review having already sailed dangerously close to the rocky shores of the Isle of Lesbos this morning… let’s propose that checklist is quite some Augean Stable that needs cleaning. It’s been a while since we gifted our Boris with one of his cherished classical Greek references. Besides cleaning up the Yard, I’d settle in future for fewer rogue flash-happy lockdown-empowered cops kidnapping, raping and murdering random women off the streets.

    Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick is leaving her role after a series of damaging controversies. Dame Cressida said she had been left with “no choice” after London Mayor Sadiq Khan made it clear to her he had no confidence in her leadership‘ (BBC) – poor old Cres… seems she has joined the Aung San Suu Kyi club of failed great no-longer-whiter-than-white left-liberal hopes.

    Oh dear, the print press are letting on that their audience is an ageing demographic: ‘The best thing about turning 40? I stopped pretending I was young‘ – so says Ian Dunt in the ‘i’; ‘The thrill of having a sexual awakening after 50!‘ – exclaims Sophie Benge in the Mail. To reclaim an old cliché from Michael Winner and David Cameron: Calm down, dear.

    Not to be outdone and raising the age bar by another decade: ‘Ai Wei Wei How to be a rebel at 64‘ (Times) – blimey, I hear it is dangerous to be a rebel in Communist China.

    In September 2019, he moved to live in Cambridge, England. As of 2021, Ai lives in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal. He still maintains a base in Cambridge, where his son attends school, and a studio in Berlin‘ (Wikipedia)

    The Mirror laments the downfall of three heroes of the left: ‘Top cop Dick forced out‘; ‘Experts “sidelined” in Johnson’s rush to end Covid rules. Advisor Sir Patrick Vallance. Scientist Sir Chris Whitty‘ – meanwhile: ‘Rooney boozing could have killed me… or I could have killed someone

    The coronaphobics in our media are looking for one last gasp right royal story: ‘Queen covid scare‘ – shrieks the Mirror… (hopefully – just think of the covid-flavoured column inches – crownophobia?)

    One daily mocks the media but today in the left-leaning ‘i’ one does find oneself agreeing with this writer’s take on the supposed Ukraine crisis: ‘Everyone’s a winner. This sabre rattling will help Putin and the West by Patrick Cockburn

        I am left wondering if Cressida Dick is setting up Sadiq Khan for the guilty party in a constructive dismissal case….. with him blathering his little emperor’s tantrums and demeaning her in public.

        Somehow, I suspect that, if this is the case, it may well be handled in a very confidential manner, with a significant wodge of cash making its way to Ms Dick in a brown envelope.

    True – the dreadful failure was on ms `dicks ‘ watched and she was appointed because she is female ? And queer ? And definitely woke .

    Cressida Dick … has left with full pensions and benefits!

    “We have refugees now, for example, or people of Arab origin, who bring a different type of antisemitism into the country,” she said during the interview. “But unfortunately, antisemitism existed before this.” {bbc.co.uk 25apr2018}

    “Several Jewish students have reported antisemitic bullying in schools in recent months and Israeli flags were burned during a recent protest in the capital city.”

    – ‘different type of antisemitism’ – how many types are there?
    – not the normal type of antisemitism?
    – does anyone question these politicians?
    – reminds me of Met Officer Cressida Dick – “I don’t think this was a phenomena (gang r*pe culture) that was invented in the last few years. It really wasn’t. It’s been part of our society probably for centuries and centuries and centuries. It’s hard to really know exactly what is really going up and what is changing. ” – Cressida Dick

    Beware the ubiquitous request: “Your views are important to us”.

    I’ve discovered that this is a subtle filtration system purely to determine if your views lie on the left or right. No doubt “your views” will be filed in either of the boxes so when the day of reckoning comes around, in my case, they know who needs to be incarcerated in the gulag.

    I recently wrote to Drakeford in the Welsh Government following his announcement that he had another hairbrained scheme, that of installing speed humps in EVERY town in Wales to limit speeds to 20MPH. I politely asked if he could direct me to that part in his party’s Manifesto where the plan was set out. I even went so far as to make constructive suggestions like, the installation of water troughs alongside the roads to quench the thirst of those ponies drawing the traps because that form of transportation would then become viable throughout Wales. A lengthy formal reply telling me the process of reply and stating I was assured of a reply within x days. Apart from the local Marxist Party Clown who clearly was taken aback by someone who had the nerve to respond but merely confirmed the reply within date. Clock still ticking from about two months ago…………….

    Moving on. ‘Wales Online’. I had received local news up to a couple of weeks ago when I had the absolute temerity to comment (the first time) on their article over why the utility bills are so large nowadays. I pointed out that, “Intentionally or otherwise, you make no mention of the ‘Green’ element of the bills”. Cancelled immediately. Whilst I do not lose sleep over these issues, I accept that you now only have to possess a discernible ‘Leftish’ frame of mind to be a member of the ‘In Club’.

    With regard to the thread intro, one has to wonder whether Sad Dick Cant’s sacking of Dickless is because she just wasn’t energetic enough in trying to oust BoJo. Sad Dick is very clear in his politicised hate for his much more successful predecessor.
    The contrast with the Met’s persecution of Paul Gambaccini and Harvey Proctor, both openly gay, could not be greater.

    Although today’s Sly didn’t feature Kay Bully, her colleague Niall Ferguson did much the same job on Gambaccini, stopping his flow although not to the same extent as his mentor, Bully. If you caught Mark Steyn’s highly interactive dialogue with Gambaccini last night on GBNews you would see precisely why a reasoning audience is turning away from the agenda-driven, lying ‘news’ coverage of Al Beeb and Sly.

    Ex Dick reminds me of the Tyne Daly character in the third Dirty Harry film, The Enforcer.
    Whilst interviewing her as a prospective new partner, Harry’s previous ones mostly ended up shot or dead, he asks about her first ‘felony arrest’. On replying she hasn’t made one, he asks about her first ‘misdemeanour arrest’. Again, no arrest. Inevitably, they are paired together and she ends up dead.

      I just hope that the Inland Revenue takes a lot of notice of all these sidelines, some of which are pretty questionable, especially when their primary job is to serve their constituents!

      And of course, the big takers like Blair, Hague, Miliband etc., must have very clever accountants in tow to deal with all that! Of course, the taxpayer doesn’t have to pay for these money-men – or do we?

      I suppose a quick peek at the website which MM gets this info on could give a clue, but with nearly a quarter of a mill expenses allowances, the IR must have to exert some sort of extra scrutiny – shouldn’t they? They did me and my firms, regularly, and we weren’t on these salaries or generous expenses, because we had to actually work for our corn!

        From 2018 … a repeat – just like the BBC! Except you don’t pay for this!

        Dear BBC £3.5 billion paid under threat of prison complaints department,

        Could you revisit the 2009 UK MP expenses again, I would not like to find out that MPs like Tony Blair have ran to the shredder prior to your investigations.

        Here are some details, can you use Journalists who are avoiding the BBC Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker Pay Gap and see why an MP on £77K salary tops up their money with a job giving them £65K extra a year.

        Maybe find other MPs on such amazing schemes and why they are getting free tickets to concerts when they have so much cash sloshing around in their MP expenses accounts.

        Chuka Umunna MP, Streatham (tax payer pays him £77K per year) is being paid £65,040 a year Advisory Position at Global Progress (London) Ltd …

        1) Look into what he produces for £65K a year.
        2) Look at who owns the company and other players – Tony Blair is linked to it.
        3) Find other MPs doing the same.
        4) Ensure they are paying taxes on the extra money.
        5) Maybe interview them and ask some questions rather than how they feel today?

        For a head start you can find the details on :

        Good luck and let me know how you get on,

        p.s. I also see that MPs claim their MP Office BBC TV Licenses Tax on their expenses, thus the UK tax payer has to pay their own TV License and their MP’s TV License. Might want to consider stopping this for the 650 MPs.

      bBC:
      An Ontario court has stopped protesters from accessing online donations.
      The truckers have raised over $8m (C$10m £5.9m) through online platform GiveSendGo, after being kicked off GoFundMe for allegedly violating its policy on harassment.
      A statement from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whose office pursued the order, said it “binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations”.

        Nope, “An Ontario court has stopped protesters from accessing online donations. ”
        Actually GiveSendGo is a US org that can send money to other provinces in Canada no problem.

        Imagine if I pop down The Nottingham Building society and put some money in the Russia Freedom From Putin account.
        .. Sure Putin can get a Moscow court to say, he is going to seize donations The Nottingham Building society has
        but the British courts will tell him to get lost.

        Putin’s Moscow court could order Moscow banks to refuse to take money or send money to The Nottingham Building society .
        Would that bother them ?

        Same for GiveSendGo first the Ontario court would have to get all the provincial courts to disengage with GiveSendGo
        After 2 or 3 months they might get an order preventing Canadian card corps from allowing 20 million Canadians to donate into GiveSendGo
        but GiveSendGo wouldn’t be bothered, it has 300 million potential US customers.

        Then Canadian politics could all change and the decision would get rescinded.

    Just watched someone called Sheldon Thomas – CEO of Gangsline being interviewed about Dick’s exit.

    He saw it as a ranting platform about the ‘usual’ – institutional racism for decades, black boys unfairly targeted, and the treatment of women in their banter etc etc oh and white men and women in charge at the very top.

    When asked what he wanted to see for the future. He replied a black man or woman at the top, as there has never been one with authority.

    The interviewer didn’t bother to put him straight by saying that Commander Ali Dizaei was sacked for corruption about 10 years ago from the Met, or that he is now living the high life in the Hollywood Hills in a 5 million mansion with Rolls Royce – so clearly did well from his time in the Met !

    Also he was neither challenged about Rap songs who are almost exclusively sung by black boys, calling women ‘bitches’.

    Its all very well getting these people on to comment, but they should be challenged by these inapt journalists.

    During and just after the brexit vote I was ‘unfriended’ on fb by a few remainers because I wanted us to be free of the eu. Lots of others were unfriended but I don’t know of even one remainer who was unfriended.

    When I was young, one of the comics had a character called Claude Duval, a Cavalier, and they depicted all Cavaliers as a merry fun loving lot whereas the Roundheads were a dour miserable bunch of puritans. All the Roundhead pictures were drawn making them look like oafs.
    It appears that today, the remoaners (a really appropriate name for them) are modern Roundhead miserable puritans.
    It can’t be much fun being so consumed with hate at everything.

    Lighten up remoaners.

    The Home Office said hiding the figures would “better support… public… understanding” which we all know is complete nonsense. The public can’t understand something if they’re not told about it. To suggest otherwise is just an outright lie.

    “why did the BBC allow such views to be aired, especially when propounded by someone so authoritative? ”

      Dear Winston Smith in the Memory Hole Department of the BBC,

      I hope you are well and that viewing complaints all day does not make you biased against the BBC in anyway.

      I noticed that on the BBC News programme that the programme text said 50 migrants and the presenter said 66 migrants arrived on the coast of the UK fleeing from the shores of the EU27.

      This could cause untold mental health problems, imagine a person watching with the sound off and another person listening and not really watching the screen. These two people meet and cannot agree what number of migrants left the troubled shores of the EU27 to reach the UK – creating two confused people who might then think they are going mental and not hearing the right thing.

      I suppose the question is which was the correct number or do viewers complete some Orwell maths such as 2+2=5?

      Many Thanks,
      Mr. H.

      ** “fleeing from the shores of the EU27” was added by myself.

      Since most people over 18 are vaccinated there is a big pool of them
      so they do make up the majority of people in hospital with Covid

      Interestingly of the unvaccinated who are in hospital 30% are under 18 the majority of them won’t have had the vaccine cos they are too young
      For over 18s about 9,900 vaccinated were in hospital
      vs 3,400 unvaccinated
      And anyways being so young they are unlikely to di of Covid

    BBC: ‘Swedish hitman guilty of doorstep murder… Anis Hemissi flew from Denmark as a professional hitman to kill father-of-two Flamur Bequiri’

    You have to admire the BBC’s almost complete white-washing of their clickable headlines.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60352830

    Read on and you find in fact there was little in the way of any old viking bad blood in this latter day saga.

    ‘The gunman, 24-year-old kickboxer Anis Hemissi, was convicted following a two-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.’

    ‘Fellow Swede Estevan Pino-Munizaga, 35, was found guilty of manslaughter.’

    ‘Tobias Andersson, 32, and Bawer Karaer, 23, also from Sweden, were acquitted of both charges. Esteven-Alexis Pino-Munizaga was found guilty of manslaughter, while Anis Fouad Hemissi was convicted of murder. Clifford Rollox and Claude Isaac were both found guilty of perverting the course of justice. Hemissi, wearing a latex mask, posed as a street cleaner in the days before the shooting, Southwark Crown Court heard. The following day he was filmed wearing a different mask’

    Yeah. And the BBC have given him another mask – one implying nordic origin.
