As the BBC campaigns to tell us it is ‘for all of us ‘ it just shows that deep down it knows the British public is getting Fedup with it .

    Here in the east, it’s been bright sunshine most of the morning
    a gusty breeze, but typical of this time of year
    In fact when I was out on the bike it was easier than last week
    … oh now just a few drops of rain.
    But we must have had a rain storm in the night as the empty water butts are now full.

    Storm Eunice: Millions across UK told to stay home as severe winds hit
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60426382

    Do as you’re told!
    BBC normalising stay at home, lockdown type, orders some more.
    Nearest anyone actually gets to this is
    “And the Met Office said people should avoid travelling if they could and stay at home when winds reach the highest speeds.”

      A spokesperson for the government, who wishes to remain unnamed, added:
      “Injuries caused by people travelling unnecessarily during such climate crisis events put strain on the NHS, already under severe pressure as it struggles to deal with Omicron or a new variant of Covid which we don’t even know about yet. We are asking Experts and Scientists ™ to look at developing an app which would advise people when it is unsafe to be out, and use the smartphone’s GPS and location data to determine who is not following guidance. However, as of yet we have no plans to link this information with access to bank accounts, along the lines being pioneered in Canada by blackface enthusiast, Justin Trudeau.

    Climate change: Covid shutdown linked to record rainfall in China
    https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60423329

    “These particles, often associated with the burning of coal, can reduce the occurrence of large-scale storms which resulted in lower rainfall.”

    What? Less air particles causes more rain…
    I though clouds seeded from them.
    BBC reporting inconvenient things through gritted teeth:

    “But long-term cuts in emissions are unlikely to trigger similar events.”
    “Such sudden change of the climate system would be very different from changes in response to continuous but gradual policy-driven emissions reductions.”

    So the party controls the climate after all..

    Apologies, this is not from the BBC, but from its sister rag (which probably means it will be on the BBC soon):

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/18/doctor-stabbed-nine-times-tells-attacker-i-am-not-angry-with-you

    (Dr) Adam Towler, who was attacked in Bristol in 2019, says his outlook is ‘rather more comfortable’ than Chanz Maximen’s in prison.

    Dr Towler (white, middle class, woke) apologises to the man (black, young, attacked others in following fortnight, before FINALLY being arrested) who nearly stabbed him to death outside his front door, in a random attack.

    Judge PRAISES Towler for his ‘unusual’ comments.

    Is this what’s expected now? I hope not, because I wouldn’t feel any sympathy towards anyone who attempted to stab me to death, regardless of their ‘personal issues’.

        Contexts : there were two other victims of Maximen
        Towler was stabbed on 30 October 2019
        \\ The defendant told Dr Towler: “You killed the girl,” a phrase that he has never explained and which meant nothing to the victim or investigators.//

        #2 On 20 November : warehouse worker Wojtek Rozmiarek was sat on a bench
        Maximen approached him from behind and sliced him across the face.

        #3 20 November : he followed student Annabel Everitt
        then knocked on her door and forced his way in with a knife.

        Judge “.. you are a highly dangerous young man with a wholly distorted view of life and appropriate conduct.

      This will probably reduce the amount of recorded knife crime by around 95%+ …. so has to be a good thing and show that we plod are a getting at about right.”

    First we got a headline telling us the Met Police would be emailing out questionaires about ‘partygate’.

    Then we got another headline telling us Boris has been sent one.

    Now today we get the headline:

    ‘Boris Johnson faces police questionnaire deadline over No 10 parties’

    Apparently, he needs to email it in by 10pm tonight.

    And another ground-breaker:

    Mr Johnson’s wife, Carrie Johnson, was expected to be among those sent a questionnaire, but it has not been confirmed.

    And what is the monumental outcomer if everything goes wrong for Boris ? :

    ‘While the PM has said he would tell the public if he received a fixed penalty notice, police are unlikely to identify anyone else if they have been fined.’

    Of course the BBC use this trivial headline to stuff the article with all the same information they have put in countless previous articles. Just to try and keep it current.

    I can’t remember ever witnessing anything so pathetic and desperate by any news organisation in my life. Do the BBC have no sense of embarassment or shame whatsoever ?.

    The general rule is that
    .. If you are righty protester the establishment will use any excuse to come down hard on you
    .. even immediately putting you in jail for a week if you come forward and say you had a pee in the street, when all the public toilets were closed cos of Covid

    And that if you are a lefty protester the police will kneel to you or help you break the law.

    But I see from the Guardian a December court case about the Kill The Bill demos in Bristol on 21 March.
    “A protester jailed for 14 years”
    cos he “led chants .. before throwing cans, bottles and placards at officers, as well as verbally abusing and kicking them.
    The 25-year-old WHITE MAN Ryan Roberts, had taken cocaine and been drinking
    smashed windows of the police station
    also caught on film pushing pieces of flaming cardboard under two police vans

      There was an ITV news lady on his patch this morning who isn’t normally there. BBC has decided to literally use his coverage as a free slipstream because of the storm. “climate change blah blah blah”.

    It is two years since our shire was one of many impacted by floods.

    Since then all in gov, local gov and local media have done their best to point at climate change as the culprit, as they are the wind outside today.

    This despite a raft of ‘defences’ upstream to divert from flood plains now littered with eco affordable housing.

    So… utter bs.

    The council has also spun up a Citizen’s Climate Assembly where a small % selected of a small % chosen are deemed to represent all.

    The aim was purely to get to ‘Net Zero’.

    Nothing else was allowed. The experts were specially chosen, the systems were carefully rigged, and… well.. watch this…

    They even tried to make a bunch of shire public vote to force livestock farmers to cease earning a living.

    The assembly members rebelled. So they lied.

    Even The BBC QT organisers would blush. Oh, no… The BBC is in the thick of it alll the way….

      Thank you for posting this.

      The Government has a policy it wants to sell to the public. It enlists the BBC to serve as its propaganda arm and heighten the impression of impartiality and scientific integrity. The Beeb is all too willing to cooperate in foisting one of its own sociological aims on an unsuspecting public.

      Why then should the Government wish to shut down such a useful ally?

        When XR was getting going it coincided with council elections after the Conservatives had stuffed up, so many ended up rammed with single issue party idiots, who have found they like power.

        At the time of declaring climate emergencies these were the ones putting it up for votes with mobs baying outside.

        Those mobs were in no small measure driven by The BBC. The local shire radio could not find an old biddy in the road it did not like, or moppet off to London to protest.

        These chickens need to come home to roost. Soon.

        And they all have the tell it often enough brass neck to call it all ‘a new form of democracy’.

        10 out of 66,000,000.

        No wonder BBC QT keep not quite getting the balance right.

        They have fans in high, if dark places.

        Square-Eyed, it is only relatively recently that we have been getting the total AGW/CC/C-E thing from the Conservatives, although Major did it a little bit with his Fuel Duty Escalator. At the same time he was directing his Chancellor (by then, Ken Clarke) into a fight against the EU in Brussels over the mandated 20% VAT on electricity and gas bills. It was really Theresa May as PM who, without asking anyone decided to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035 or 2040, which Bojo has now brought down to 2030.

        The BBC decided to go all out on the believing fully without question/not having climate sceptics to present balance/etc during Labour Party’s time in Government.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if, in their hatred of Brexit Boris and Brexiteer Conservatives, the BBC suddenly start to discover some ‘balance’ on AGW/CC/C-E just to be bit BBContrarian.

    The bias by omission on Woman’s Hour (R4 from 10:00) was again striking. There were some items in which what was not said or asked was blatant.

    The piece on the US political situation touched on Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris possibly running in 2024, but there was little on the John Durham spying/treason revelations other than to say that “Fox” was enjoying it; the expert Melissa Molevsky (Sussex Uni’!) thought HRC probably wouldn’t run but still treated the possibility seriously, instead of saying that it should be out of the question for such a person ever to be a presidential candidate again. Kamala’s poll numbers were admitted to be low … but no why or wherefore.

    Then it was on to increasing violence against Asian women in the US. That old fave, micro-aggressions, even got a mention too! Once again there was a great invisible elephant in the room: violence BY WHOM? Who are the perps? Why is this not stated? Is it because it is mainly Blacks and/or Muslims doing it?

    Then to finish, a piece about some Black story revolving around Caribbean Black Cake, with the usual undertones.

    They really need to dig deeper and not just skim the surface of these issues from the women’s angle.

    Watched a tiny bit of BBC News on the News Channel this morning just to gauge the weather. Reporters at the coast were obviously told to place their cameras so as the camera got buffeted it would appear that the reporters were blown about a bit more. There also seemed to be some ham acting by the reporters to emphasise the wind.
    The reporter in Wales was being blown around so much that we could hardly hear what he was saying to camera. But he then moved a couple of yards to show us with his arm the wind being blown over the sea wall. The mark on the pavement where he had previously been standing had obviously been washed away and he couldn’t remember exactly where that was. In his new position we could hear him ever so more clearly.
    That was around 8.30 am and I don’t know how things are now but what I do know is that you cannot trust the BBC to tell you how it really is.

      Do they ever include catch up in the figures, or people watching on devices other than TV sets? Certainly they vet the people who feed their viewing choices into the BARB system , very carefully.
      I watch GBN on catch up and I reckon that Mark Styne is close to the limit that the elite blobists and their UK enforcer Ofcom will tolerate. He lacerates Trudeau and Adern every night , quite rightly of course, but in doing so he exposes the Facist nature of the blob world wide . They certainly won’t like that and if he continues landing such well aimed blows I’m sure that pressure will be brought to bear. Of course if GBN was located in Canada Trudeau would have had it shut down by now and ordered the freezing of the bank accounts if anyone caught watching or listening to it.

          Max Miller, the “Cheeky Chappie” of Britain’s music hall, liked to say that the great thing about comedy was that it was the only job where if you’re really bad at it nobody laughs at you. The dead hand of the demographically exhausted German state is taking it to a whole other level:

          The German government has approved a criminal inquiry into a comic who mocked the Turkish president, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced.

          By law, the government must approve any use of an article of the criminal code on insulting foreign leaders.

          Mrs Merkel stressed that the courts would have the final word.

    Daunte Wright death: US ex-police officer jailed for gun mix-up shooting
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60436945

    No prizes for guessing who the BBC are behind here with this picture at the top.

    _123311873_gettyimages-1238593785.jpg

    ‘”She referred to Daunte over and over again as ‘the driver’ as if killing him wasn’t enough to dehumanise him,” she said through tears.’

    Police claimed he had expired licence plate tags and an air freshener unlawfully hanging from his vehicle’s rear view mirror.

    Potter’s defence team claimed the shooting took place as Wright was resisting arrest.

    ‘Claimed’ introducing that essential element of doubt.

    This is the victim Daunte who she was having to confront:

    ‘He was either going to be imprisoned, kill someone, or be killed.’ How Daunte Wright led a life of crime and violence before his death and shot his own friend in the head, broke into a neighbor’s home, and robbed a woman at gunpoint’

    Sounds to me like she did the country a service.

    Standby for riots and looting (especially looting) due to the lenient nature of the sentence.

    Let’s see what their tone is like when Baldwin does down. Judging by the fact they are already saying the gun did it and Baldwin was just holding it, I suspect a reversal of sympathies.

    The report also contains the exact same paragraph twice near the end. A sign of just how amateur the BBC have become.

    TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC cannot help themselves

    From attacking our Government, can they? Unfortunately, they also played a sound clip of – I think – China Joe talking up the threat from Russia in Ukraine as well as the PM and Liz Truss, Foreign Secretary.

    Ed Stourton in his measured style was trying to suggest that the politicians – ie. the UK’s Government, PM and Foreign Sec., had all been shouting about the ‘Russia threat’ far too much, so that when they really need to issue a warning no-one else will take a blind bit of notice. As far as the BBC are concerned this Conservative Party Government cannot do anything right.

    Nor can Keir Starmer-led Labour Party if it constantly has to get the BBC to do its own work of being Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition in Parliament. The Sucker is failing miserably!

    BBC News is reporting the sentencing of a plod in a foreign country who shot some one dead claiming they mistook a gun for a taser .
    Why is this being reported on UK news .
    I would suggest it is an example of the bbc propaganda stance – the plod being white and getting 2 years – the ‘victim’ being a coloured boy .

    The coloured 4×4 disgraced boy relay team – stripped of their Olympic medal for cheating – has disappeared after a couple of hours ….

      The story about the drugs athlete is still at the top of the BBcnews page

      14 August 2021 BBCsports : CJ Ujah: British sprinter ‘shocked and devastated’ after positive drugs test
      Today : CJ Ujah: Great Britain lose Tokyo Olympics relay medal after doping violation

      He says he “unknowingly consumed a contaminated substance”
      containing Ostarine and S-23

      I guess you can’t rule out that some spy secretly injected him or something
      but the managers job is to protect their athletes, so they have failed.

        Should have used the ‘Russian grandad ‘ defence ( using x3 separate banned drugs ) …. Also – I think the banned character missed a drugs test ( might be confused as not particularly interested in this form of jingoistic hype )

    Here is a Zoom interview with Alok Sharma
    James ITV “The *Independent* CCC say”

    Alok Sharma .. “Net Zero is great ..Green growth”

    activist Ben ??? from “Climate XX”

    James scowls when asked about progress

      Flipping heck the COP26 item made up 8 mins on the Hull edition
      That’s one third of the prog

      The activists were Simon Bowens
      And activist Ben Margolis from Climate Change Commission (they never explained who this body is)
      ‘The public want all these green things’ “but there are not enough incentives”
      (.. What he said is a contradiction)

    ITV local news page, but not yet on TV
    “Hull Libraries IT guy jailed for nine years for raping a minor”
    He’s a white guy, of course he should be jailed

    Seems like the rape gang guys were way worse than that, but don’t get proportionate sentences.
    https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2022-02-17/jail-for-former-library-worker-who-tried-to-pay-off-girl-he-raped

    Another white guy
    “paedophile from Barnsley who was caught in *an undercover police sting* plotting to abuse young children has been jailed.
    He met an officer posing as a fellow predator in an online chat room.
    In a series of exchanges, in which he thought he was communicating with the mother of two children aged under four, he talked about arranging to abuse them
    He was sentenced to 4 months , six of which must be served in prison.

    The beeb “has been told” that Bojo has submitted his questionnaire to the Met regarding the partygate inquiry.

    These questionnaires theoretically remain confidential and are not for public release – but you can read his in the Daily Mirror on Monday.
