        Is that before they offer the 5 to 11 year olds voting rights or after?
        Anyway, the child depicted in the BBC photo doesn’t look like a typically British 5 to 11 year old to me, not where I live anyway.
        What normal 5 year old child, given the choice, will volunteer to have a needle stuck in their arm? Hands up kids!

      Sunday : Alone in the park riding a penny farthing on grass
      “I didn’t see the divot, my front wheel went into it and I went over the handlebars and landed on my head.”
      Several hours after the accident I got the all-clear
      .. at my local A&E, where thankfully they were extremely quiet on Sunday.
      I regret riding on grass, which stopped me seeing a divot.”

      While showing off his black eye and broken glasses, he explained that he had been riding the bicycle, which raises you 8ft into the air, on the grass with no-one else around.

      I am surprised he managed to keep it secret for 2.5 days
      I don’t spot any videos on Twitter.

    We three million indigenous Londoners are so
    lucky to have a regional programme on the BBC
    TV four times a day. Ok we are now a sizeable
    minority in the capitol. So we don’t expect
    to have more than a couple of features a week
    concerning our issues. And as a minority to
    have between 75 to 80% ethnic presenters
    and reporters I suppose is what we should expect.
    And they do come in all sizes and ethnicities.
    Now you may ask ” don’t the BBC practice
    “positive discrimination” on this regional programme .
    As the do with every other aspect on the rest of their
    programming?” NO .
    BUT they do show some us some really original
    features , such as this evening. Illegal immigrants who
    have come across the channel on rubber dinghies from the
    LGBT community,believe they are being persecuted and
    are being sorted out to be sent back to where they came
    from. An Ethiopian gay gentleman told Alice Bhandhukravi
    the presenter this evening that he thought it was racist.
    All very interesting. I can see him being a presenter or a
    reporter on the programme before long . That’s if he not
    sent back to Addis Ababa or Calais . Which I very much doubt.
    I reiterate aren’t we indigenous Londoners lucky to have
    such a programme to watch four times a day?

      Think it should be Racial discrimination against white people across the board. The BBC however think otherwise-it now so clearly shown in every sector of advertising, broadcasting, films, et al and it has been allowed to grow to such a degree that the white indeginous folk are apparantly accepting it-I’m not, but I have little option in many cases.

    Farming in your region

    North : sisters pig farm
    NE : Family pig farm (I think they quit)

    Norfolk : young Izzi has taken over the family beef business from her 80-year-old father
    The changes to farming subsidies come in to effect following Brexit.
    she is diversifying the family business, running a homeware design company on the farm and working in her local shop to cover her bills
    latest idea is a shipping container which she’s turning into a workshop for visitors for farm experience days.

    West : The oystermen of the River Fal estuary have been knocked sideways by Brexit.

    South : Oxfordshire cattle farm : therapy as workers are autistic.

    Midlands : Farmers making environmentally friendly crisps
    “renewable power from their own renewable energy plant that runs on crops and waste from the farm. They’ve developed the world’s first plastic-free crisp packets, which are fully compostable.

    To keep the *food miles down* to a minimum, and to support other local farmers, they only use flavours for their crisps from local farmers such as Charles Martel whose Hereford cheese flavour is one of their most popular.
    (Tosh ..Crisp flavouring comes in small packets made by corps like Kerry Ingredients .. there is not a lot of CO2 in transporting that)

    Maitless has now come out claiming to have pointed out the contradictions between the car crash interview she did with Prince Andrew, however the Media is not being honest at all over this.

    Whilst I would like to make it clear that I am in no way defending a man whose brains are clearly in his pants and whose towering arrogance appears to have developed when he was a child, seeing outright lying about a man who cannot reply is deeply unfair.

    It is a special year and the State plus the Royal family do not want the platinum jubilee celebrations overshadows by the fact Prince Andrew cannot control his sex drive nor his arrogance, and continued legal action (which thanks to the Democrat appointed Leftie judge he would lose even if Giuffre admitted she made it all up), there would have been appeal after apeal after appeal.

    So it appears PA might well have been told to reach a settlement regardless of the cost, both personal and financial, and might not even have been guilty of what he was accused of.

    Watching a program on paramilitary security teams in NHS hospitals. The one featured has a whole department of fat bloke security teams (ex nightclub bouncers) paid for by the NHS (us lot of taxpayers) they have dedicated suites populated with multi screen tv’s and lots of pseudo police in uniforms (20 plus per hospital) in case someone lights up a fag in the car park.

    All private of course on massive per head payments to some private security company (probably American).

    This must be costing us all millions and is unregulated, it’s NHS empire building on a sickening scale and needs to be halted.

    The hospital featured seems to have around 20 guards on duty waiting for someone to shout at a nurse or something.

    I don’t want to hear one more frigging moan about how cash strapped the frigging NHS are!

    They are a total basket case and are bleeding the taxpayer dry!

    Paki stani pardophile organised racist gangs in many towns and cities in Blighty .?

    Where is the BBC campaign for the Home Office to publish the report of these crimes ?

    Where is the investigation by the BBC to find out why
    Paki stani ‘communities ‘ are supportive of this evil – or why more people fail to challenge – speak out or stop it ?

    Maybe there are too many paki stanis in the BBC with relatives involved in the practice – or is it a Muslim thing ?

      I am now convinced that the BBC do not talk about it because they think they will offend Muslims around the world who understand why the gangs do it.

      The big thing for me about all these gangs is that it is far, far more than individual rapists. They come together in gangs with the clear knowledge that nobody in the entire Muslim community will tell the white authorities. And the reason for that is that they think their religion permits it.

      Their targets are young white girls who wear makeup and show flesh. They consider them to be trash who are only fit to be used by good Muslim men for pleasure.

      The covering up of these people by the BBC, the Police and the government is one of the great scandals of our time. And 100% because of the ideological Left who consider the agenda to be more important than any number of other peoples lives.

        Revealing details of the inquiry’s findings, Prof Jay said: “It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered.”

        The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.

      The reason why the MSM have tried to ignore or minimise the coverage of this scandal is that they know it will cause huge resentment on the part of the indigenous folk of these islands. The natives will start asking questions about how can mass migration be a good thing when this happens?
      The left decided decades ago to swamp the country with third worlders and to make sure that ordinary folk were passive in the face of this invasion. They have succeeded far. But if the MSM lefties gave this story the coverage it deserves it would shake their flimsy multicultural world to its foundations.
      The left has also decided that the best way to stop the natives from resisting the take over of their country is to destroy their culture and history, effectively making them culturally homeless. Again they are making a lot of progress on this front too.
      Two big questions remain.
      Firstly , what type of country do the left think will emerge from the current mess in twenty of thirty years time? Secondly, why have the Tories allowed is to go unopposed for the past decades? Major, Cameron, May and Boris have all stood by and watched or even assisted in the death of our country.

    Ashutosh Kaushik: Indian actor fighting for the ‘right to be forgotten’

      Experts say the “right to be forgotten” – or the “right to erasure” – is simply the right to have your publicly available personal information removed from the internet. Although the right is recognised in the European Union – where it’s not absolute – it’s a fairly new concept in India and still not covered by law.

      Kaushik hit the headlines when he won the fifth season of reality show MTV Roadies in 2007 and Bigg Boss – the wildly popular Indian version of Big Brother – a year later.

      The wins, he says, earned him “accolades, love and appreciation of people from across India”.

      But fame gave way to infamy when, a year later, he was caught drink-driving.

He noted on GBnews how the show Quote /unquote, that used to attract very intellectual and amusing guests was starting to get instructions on minority quotas in the panel members and that certain quotes ( the whole premise of the show) were now getting frowned upon if used ( mad dogs and Englishman being “unacceptable and colonial”).

    Admitted to possibly… edition

    I thought I’d heard – and by and large rejected – just about every wackadoodle tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theory there was out there.

    Then along comes this report in this morning’s Telegraph: ‘Smart meters interrupt missile warning systems‘ – I know they are designed to make those door-to-door meter-reading chaps unemployed, whilst being a job-creation scheme of the installing firms. I know they can charge customers extra at peak rates and possibly cut off your supply in localised brown outs as and when the national grid is overwhelmed (to borrow a medical term) – like we know it soon will be – whilst presumably protecting the hospitals from power cuts. Can’t you just see it now… power cut for three hours… to protect the NHS?

    The benefit to the consumer seems to be a reminder – as if it were needed – that when you put your kettle on during the tv advert break, or the kids have left all the upstairs lights on when the whole family is downstairs – despite their school’s intensive green education – then your electricty consumption goes up. Thank you for that information.

    Considering the way our kids still consume enegry, despite all their green school lessons – perhaps we shouldn’t over fret over: ‘Teachers told not to “indoctrinate” pupils with BLM‘ (Telegraph); ‘Teachers told to avoid the “biased” views of BLM and Stonewall‘ (Times) Some lily-livered use of scare quotes there from our supposedly conservative-leaning papers. I digress.

    Oddly enough this is a Yorkshire story: ‘People living near RAF Fylingdales in the North York Moors have been refused the upgrade because smart meter signals may clash with its ballistic missiles radar‘ (Telegraph) – I wouldn’t worry overmuch. They say the Yorkies are pretty close when it comes to their expediture and I doubt they waste their electricty.

    You wouldn’t want a cruise missile diverted into your kitchen. Sounds unlikey, I know, but safety first eh? Afterall, this is all new, largely untested technology we’re dealing with here.

    Parents to decide on jabs for five-year-olds‘ (Telegraph); ‘Covid jab programme extended to cover all children aged five to 11‘ (Guardian)

    Our media do love a royal scandal – or two: ‘Prince of Wales to face police interview‘ (Guardian)

    Storm after storm. Winds of 100mph forecast to hit north and west‘ (Guardian) – cor, blimey, who needs rely on the Daily Star when the Gruan has the weather story on the frontpage.

    Mind you, the war clouds over Ukraine seem to have lifted somewhat.

    Truss: Putin could drag out crisis for months. Foreign Secretary sceptical at Russia’s claims of withdrwal from Ukraine’s border‘ (Telegraph) – I’m sceptical of our light-weight, mid-wit, furry hat-wearing photo-op, foreign minister who perhaps might consider that – unlike us in the west – the Ruskies do like to defend their borders.

    By the way, who are these eastern european nationalists we are suddenly so keen on and apparently allied to in Ukraine? Bearing in mind: ‘Poland and Hungary lose rule of law fight. The top EU court has dismissed a legal challenge from the two countries, a move that opens the way for Brussels to withhold funds from member state for law rule violations‘ (FT) – so here’s an idea – how about europe test Ukraine’s keeness to fully sign up to EU ideology by asking them up front to absorb their fair share of the illegal migrants? That’ll sort the soy boys from the Boyahs. They might find, in the long run, they’d be happier under Putin.

    ‘Friend or foe?‘ – asks FT Datawatch: ‘% of adults seeing Russia as:

    Turns out the Japanese are most wary of the bear looming close to their borders. Next most fearful of the Ruskies are we Brits. I put this down entirely to the intense media blitz of the last few weeks.

    Oh, I nearly forgot to mention – the source of Prince Charles’s scandal: ‘…a Saudi benefactor…‘ (Daily Express)

    In a similar vein: ‘Ericsson “embarrassed” after admitting to possibly paying ISIS for access in Iraq‘ (FT) – I do admire that wonderful construction admitted to possibly. Shades of Prince Andrew there.

    ‘Ericsson has conceded that it might have made payments to terrorist organisation ISIS in Iraq… The Swedish telecoms equipment maker revealed…‘ – let’s hope the islamists don’t read the Telegraph and get the idea they ought to obtain some smart meters – that could play absolute havoc with our military tech.

    In a rare criticism of the kingdom’s powerful “mutaween” police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.

    About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.

    A head teacher should be investigated over whether she has breached her “duty of impartiality” after pupils wrote a letter criticising Boris Johnson, the Commons has heard.

    During a lesson, pupils from Nottingham’s Welbeck Primary School called on the prime minister to resign.

    Conservative MP for Gedling, Tom Randall, raised the matter and has written to the education secretary.

    The school’s head said children were “encouraged to express their thoughts”.

        Has the BBC ever lied to me …. YES.
        “Gavin Hewitt in 2015 replacing video with still photos to hide a nasty refugee pushing a pregnant female refugee and small child onto a train track, the BBC made it look like the border guards were being tough.”

        Has the BBC kept the public in the dark …. YES.
        “We know that the UK MP expenses continues and should be investigated with the £3.5bn BBC New Service every year to keep the MPs on their toes, David Lammy bought a bike for £650 on expenses (Claim Ref:387540/17oct2014) which is blatant misuse of Tax Payer Money.

        Has the BBC let journalist break their guidelines …. YES.
        “Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker uses his twitter account to say Brexit is bad, EU is good. But not once has he confronted Jacob Rees-Mogg or Nigel Farage to talk about it. It is a one sided echo chamber.”

    As a result of something which came up yesterday, I was researching what the current definition of ‘racism’ is these days. All of these terms are being manipulated by the Left so I figured I would see what they had done to this one.

    This is the general definition of racism I have been seeing in the past:

    ‘prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.’.

    Even this is flawed : why should it depend on the target being in a minority group ?. But by and large, it makes sense.

    But while researching it for something which came up yesterday, I discovered the meaning has been changed. I came across the following article on the BBC:

    Racism definition: Merriam-Webster to make update after request
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52993306

    Kennedy Mitchum, a recent graduate of Drake University in Iowa, suggested that the definition should include a reference to systemic oppression

    Kennedy is – of course – black.

    ‘Ms Mitchum had encountered people pointing to the dictionary to prove that they were not racist because of the way they felt towards people of colour. She felt the definition needed to reflect broader issues of racial inequality in society.’

    So in other words, she wanted the definition to be changed so that all white people could be called racists !!.

    Of course, every Muslim country in the world is now officially ‘racist’. But they never mention that. It’s all 100% for blacks.

    It’s absolute woke madness.

    The word ‘racist’ has become a vague Left-wing label which no longer has specific meaning. If you are white you are racist. If you are not, you are not.

    So the reply to people like maxi using the word ‘racist’ is now that the word is so vague, it is pointless. It simply means ‘white people’ – including maxi himself if he is white. The phrase he should use if he wants to actually accuse somebody of something is ‘Racial Discrimination’. Then we can pull him to pieces because he and the BBC are totally guilty of that.

      Isn’t Labour’s new open door policy genocide? Time to take them to the Supreme Court!

      In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

      Killing members of the group;

    ‘Does he hold us for fools!?’ Anjem Choudary lodges new appeal with European Court
    Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has lodged an appeal against his conviction for encouraging support for Isis with the European Court of Human Rights.

    He hopes he can convince Strasbourg lawmakers to overturn his September 2016 conviction for cheerleading for Isis and pledging allegiance to the terror cult. The radical Islamist, jailed for five and a half years following a trial at the Old Bailey, already had his application for permission to appeal thrown out by Court of Appeal judges in 2017. Judges slapped down his position on the basis that his conviction was not “arguably unsafe”.

    So every Muslim that goes to Mecca to celebrate the Hajj supports the Saudi regime financially by giving them money for flights and buying stuff whilst on the Hajj … thus anyone who goes, supports Saudi law thus is supporting transphobic corporation … never mind Nike etc …

    Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is illegal. LGBT rights are not recognized by the government of Saudi Arabia.

    All muslims should boycott Mecca until there is Justice …. Sadiq Khan and Savid Javid and Warsi and all Muslims should ban travelling until the law is changed in Saudi for LGBT.

    Pink Hat Outrage? UK Muslims stop buying from Pakistani shops?

    Karachi (CNN)The brother of murdered social media star Qandeel Baloch has been freed by a Pakistan appeals court, three years after he was convicted of killing her for “bringing dishonor” to the family.

    Baloch’s murder in 2016 sparked a national outcry and promoted changes in the country’s so-called ‘honor killing’ laws.
    Waseem Baloch’s lawyer, Sardar Mehmood, confirmed the acquittal with CNN Tuesday but did not provide further details. A court order has not yet been made public.
    https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/15/asia/pakistan-qandeel-baloch-brother-acquittal-intl-hnk/index.html

    In a confession video, Waseem Baloch said he was “proud” of killing his sister, adding that having his friends share her pictures and video clips was “too much” for him.
    “I drugged her first, then I killed her,” he said. “Girls are born to stay home and follow traditions. My sister never did that.”

    Oh dear, things are not going well for the BBC’s protégé in Canada, Saint Justin-of-the-Hair (motto: because I’m worth it).

    The Beeb probably won’t be showing this exchange in Parliament in which, first a Conservative opponent launches a blistering attack on pretty-boy Trudeau. The latter then unwisely retaliates with the grotesque slur that ‘Conservatives stand with people who wave Swastikas’.

    (It’s edited out, but at this point Parliament erupts with outrage.)

    And – bad luck for Turdeau – the MP he’s insulting (Melissa Lantsman) happens to be Jewish and happens to be a descendant of Holocaust survivors, as she tells him in no uncertain terms before demanding an apology.

    I thoroughly recommend a recent you tube video on the Daily Telegraph’s ‘ Off Script’ series which is a 50 minute interview with Victor Davis Hanson in which he discusses the current state of the US. He is in the end optimistic that ordinary folk will be able to throw off the tyranny of the Woke but only if they recognise that there is an existentialist threat to democracy and band together and use all means at their disposal.
