    Every morning since Terry Wogan the first time around my alarm call has been radio 2. Every morning for about the last 5 years I’m tortured by the early morning drivel the BBC sees fit to dish up.
    Overly chirpy, self-congratulating, backslapping, juvenile drivel.

    I always mean to change the station but by the time I’m awake and dressed the radio is switched off and I forget all about it.

    Not today, today I left myself a note and radio 2 is no more. It feels good and I’m generally a much happier person.

      Oldrec – I empathise – I wasn’t totally terry wogan but he was good enough as a remedy to the dire ‘today ‘programme –

      I don’t do R2 anymore – I know people here listen to vine but he just fails every test …. So I don’t use BBC stuff very much at all except to provide evidence for this site .

      Music streaming is the best replacement and I don’t think they make a profit out of me ….

        I know its nostalgic, but BBC radio was always on when I was growing up. Sunday roast with the Light Prog and Two Way Family Favourites, Billy Cotton Band Show, Round the Horne. Then Friday Night is Music Night, and before the advent of Radios 1,2,3 and 4, us teenagers on the south coast tuned into Radio Caroline and Radio Invicta. Dad loved listening to Alan Dell on Sunday afternoons, Terry Wogan sending us off to work with a giggle as he gave characters from Dallas his own nicknames – the Poison Dwarf ? poor Charlene Tilton never recovered from that, and Sue Ellen crying into her cornflakes covered in gin !! Then it was Alan ‘puff’ Freeman giving us the Pick of the Pops on Sunday afternoons, followed by the Mike Samme Singers on Sing Something Simple in the early evening.

        Now ? never listen to it except an occasional foray into Classic FM.

          Radio Caroline and Radio London were important parts of my teenage years. We could receive lots of pirate stations here in Yorkshire. We even had our own: Radio 270!
          ‘Sing Something Simple’ was on Sunday evenings was truly dreadful. So depressing. I associate it with the claustrophobic feelings of being in our little house on a winter’s evening, school in the morning. I seriously think that programme contributed to my mental problems of that era.

          Yes I remember looking forward to the Billy Cotton Band Show.
          He always opened with his shout of “Wakey! Wakey!”

          Perhaps he’s responsible for all the wokeness around now?

          Brissles, Round the Horne was a great favourite of my family. I especially liked Kenneth Williams in his alter ego as Rambling Syd Rumpo who sang slightly suggestive folk song parodies. Lyrics like ‘Green Grow My Nadgers Oh!’ had me me sniggering delightedly.

          Another good BBC comedy my parents used to listen to was the quiz and panel game ‘My Word’ with Frank Muir and Dennis Norden. I don’t recall any of the childish self-indulgence (and ‘f’ words) you get with many of the BBC’s ‘comedians’ today. This was humour for sophisticated adults.

            ‘Take it from here’ was a firm favourite in our home – Jimmy Edwards and Dick Bentley with the gorgeous June Whitfield, who still looked fantastic in ‘Ab Fab’ all those years after…

            ‘Oooh Ron’ still lingers in everyday chats here…

            But back then the few lefties and the wokery were oddities who hated themselves and everyone they sought to control. The BBC now heads the brigade for such idiocy, so that’s why they use enormous sums of taxpayer’s money for pathetic, dire, unfunny crap.

              Nothing wrong with a good old English folk song.

              I am particularly fond of: “She was only a fishmonger’s daughter, but she could lie on a slab and shout “fillet!”.

          Didn’t listen to radio Caroline though, but radio Luxembourg every evening .. Anyone remember Stuart Henry and the show he did with his I think Wife ?

    Both the BBC and ITV are trying to link Storm Eunice to global warming, despite even the Met Office stating there is no evidence at all to make such a link.

    Now ITV relies on advertising revenue but I have to pay the licence fee to the BBC to watch any live TV.

    And for that money what I get is an agenda of biased propaganda

      The AGW scam was an all governments initiated taxation scheme, via the IPCC – a specifically created UN agency, to rip off hundreds of billions from the taxpayer. The UN was going to get some of the proceeds.

      So far though, it is the scientists who are being criticised, though they are bit players in this scam. “Scientists” whose jobs and promotion depended on getting grant money, could be expected to provide the required answers. The money in grants allocations to scientists is worth less then peanut shells compared to what governments and big business planned to pocket from general taxation on energy, and further hidden levies on all energy usage on petrol diesel, gas and electricity.

      Every aspect of the economy – industry, agriculture, and transport would be hit by one of the cleverest scams in all history. No wonder all governments, are so keen on CC/AGW.

      The elite now know that the Truckers have to be stopped. Stopped by brute force if necessary. For if they aren’t, the whole damned tower of Babel will come down. That is why Donald Trump was targeted by a Canadian minister in the Trucker Convoy dispute. There was no other reason but Climate Change scam being part of the Freedom Trucker Convoy. The Freedom Trucker Convoy’s existence threatens the existence of Climate Change hoax.

      Donald Trump was never part of the Global elite. He saw what AGW/CC was about. That is why even now the American elite, social media, MSM, FBI, CIA, etc etc, continue to try to shut him up. So the Durham report was initially ignored, while they thought of ways to marginalise it.

      Climate Change mandates will make Covid mandates look trivial. It Is the instrument that will imprison the West for a long time.

      Think what is coming. Plans for building tens of thousands of offshore wind turbines. All far more expensive to build and maintain.

      All of this has to be financed by an increase in the price of oil/gas/coal fired stations.

      All this because the mean global temperature (a very dubious measurement to say the least) rose by on average 0.07 deg C per decade over the 20th century. The real figure is likely to be 0.01 dec per decade.

      For this pathetic figure that cannot even be measured accurately, if all the errors are figured out, the elite wish to destroy the world and send tens of billions back to the slums. Hunger leads to mass movement of people searching to survive. Who can blame them. After all, tens of millions of Europeans left Europe for that reason. Can you turn away a starving family at your doorstep.

      The Freedom Trucker Convoy has to succeed.

    Toady watch

    This could take a while …

    Fergal Keen – still stuck in Ukraine waiting for a war – so filling the gap with his usual mournful false emotion about past horrors – now the weather

    An’ expert ‘ from the WHO( discredited but still listened to ) criticising a ‘living with covid ‘ strategy not yet put out by HMG . You could hear the anxiety of these little hitlers no longer strutting about telling us how to live .

    A ‘press review ‘ in which the head of mi6/5/4? moaned about having to go after ‘home grown threats ‘ or ‘overseas threats ( China Russia) – the latter described as ‘wanting to change our way of life … I choked on me breakfast tea – as far as I can see they just want cake like every one else …

    ..and the ‘home grown terrorist ‘ is probably a 14 year old white kid with a picture of hitler on his bedroom wall … not the real threat Which Must Not Be Mentioned

    Next – the weather – which is now ‘political ‘ – every time a tree falls over its global warming – every time the wind blows – the same – an onslaught of social control – panic – more taxes – ..

    Lastly the ‘nature bill’ is being culled a bit – I guess it is a creation of nut nuts wife and there is a struggle between her and the less complaint members of the cabinet whether bear skins can be imported from Canada . That’s the big story – I think it’s tricky for the BBC to support nut nuts ‘ wife ….

    Oh yeah – nut nut is going to Munich to speak with herr… sorry – wrong century – speaking with friends about putin . At press conference the first question from coonsberg or lansdale will be
    ‘When are you going to resign nut nut ?”

    Off switch – too much ‘toady ‘ is just that …

      Thanks for all this, Fed!

      I have a confession to make, in that yesterday, because of a few sea-breezes causing the BBC to wet it’s proverbial knickers, we thought we might even watch the BBC news, to see how others had fared against the light winds and scattered showers!

      But we had a power cut, so were saved from such tyranny-sur-TV, and now you’ve completed the stories which we happily avoided!

      But I found the Glenmorangie, so it got even better, and a glass of that nectar, in candlelight, is a pleasure that is worth remembering for a long time yet…

    TOADY Watch #1 – BBC in breach of their Charter?

    Item pre 8 a.m. with Mishal on the expected announcemnet of changes to the ‘Coronavirus Rules’ on Monday next. Dr David Nabarro of WHO and someone else (sorry, forgotten name) are interviewed. Both suggest reasons why HMG’s proposals for changes in England are risky and gave their reasons why. Dr Nabarro wanted masks and social distancing to remain compulsory. Forever? Mishal did not ask.

    The BBC are clearly trying to campaign against an elected Government.

    In my view, the BBC should only report after the event (of changes) and then by all means have a studio discussion on air at that time. In advance of the changes, the BBC should stay quiet. Absolutely silent.

    Toady again –

    I switched on at 0820 because the bloke who did the aircraft landing commentating at Heathrow yesterday was having his 15 minutes of fame …
    … at one stage he said ‘we had 200 000 viewers ‘ to which Robinson instantly replied “ numbers GBNews can only dream of “….
    …….it’s nice to know the BBC shows it’s paranoia about alternatives sources of broadcast news with a less biased outlook …
    ……..they must spend countless off the books meetings plotting how to sabotage it – conniving with the OFCOM branch of the BBC to end it ….

        There was a slight car crash interview between a tv news droid and a farmer at the Needles where the highest wind was recorded ( allegedly ) .

        She desperately tried to get said farmer to say it’s getting worse because of global warming but just said ‘yeah we ve always had storms and strong winds – me dad said that too “

        I felt sorry for the bbc girl that she didn’t get her ‘green crap propaganda points ‘ then remembered she’s on £200k plus …

      DS said “less than half in hospital have Covid as their main problem”
      “ICU admissions plunging”
      “be cautious of this daily death stat, cos
      it is is increasingly overstating. You have to roughly halve it”
      “ONS stats show that deaths are well below average for this time of year”

      Then he went strange
      “The government took a GAMBLE before Christmas and they got away with it”
      .. That’s not true, when you ease back on restrictions, you factor in that many people will still be super cautious … it is not a gamble as such.

    Meanwhile, the BBC’s fave Black GB Winter Olympian, Montell Douglas, seems to have had a bad day at the office:

    “Mica McNeill said something went “drastically wrong” after a disappointing start to the two-woman bobsleigh left Great Britain out of contention with two heats remaining.

    McNeill and partner Montell Douglas currently sit 19th out of 20 pairs after the opening two heats.

    They are 2.49 seconds off German leaders Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi.

    “It is one of those things where we don’t fully know what’s going on,” said McNeill.

    “Something has gone drastically wrong, it hasn’t all come together.”

    The final two heats take place on Saturday with the aggregate time of the four heats determining the final standings.”

        Guest, thanks, which leads neatly to …
        TOADY Watch #2 – aah, I wondered when the ‘Greenies’ would wake up

        Art with NFTs [ that is NonFungibleTokens to the uninitiated like our Fed 😉 🙂 ] were an item on TOADY before I hit the Off Switch in protest at something or other. Someone has been doodling at home during the USA Lockdown and created ‘Art’ that some mug has been willing to pay $30,000 for in ‘cybercurrency’. Now this artist’s Mother has quit her job to become her son’s Manager and Agent.

        Guess that should ensure a ready supply of mugs of coffee and chocolate biccies to the artist’s desk.

        However, all is not well with the enviromentalists. They have just realised that ‘mining’ cryptocurrencies requires massive banks of computers that drain the world’s electricity supply (a supply that is always a bit precarious at this time of year in the northern hemisphere) and contributing to global warming via the need for these computer servers to be continually cooled.

    The masks should be worn to protect others we are told.

    Even though the holes in the masks are 3000 times larger than the covid virus.

    When a mask wearer breathes out let’s say some of the virus sticks to the inside of the mask.
    Every breath adds more to this number stuck on the mask.
    After a while, all day in schoolchildren’s cases, there will be a concentrated film of the virus being breathed in and out every few seconds.
    No thank you.

    If they discover a new version in France will it be called Emacron?

    No signs of calm reporting after the storm but some reports of Karma for China

    The casaulty figures are still coming in…

    ‘Three people killed and others seriously injured by trees and flying debris‘ (‘i’) – clearly mother Nature’s revenge there.

    ‘At least four dead as worst storm in decades roars in‘ (Guardian)

    And the power cuts…

    ‘Gales leave 150,000 homes without power‘ (Daily Mirror)
    ‘Storm cuts off 200,000 homes‘ (Times)
    ‘One million homes lose power…‘ (‘i’) – any advance… do I hear 2 million?

    The figures seem to be a bit confused at present – so, to be on the safe side – we’ll go with the superlatives…

    ‘Battered by killer storm‘ (Express)
    ‘Carnage… £500million clean up bill‘ (Mirror)
    ‘Day of destruction‘ (Times)

    ‘People with astraphobia are terrified of the weather. They may watch anxiously for signs of bad weather, hide in areas of the home where they feel safe during a storm‘ (a rare appearance hereabouts for Web MD offering online news and information pertaining to human health and well-being)

    My old granny used to hide in the cupboard under the stairs during a thunder storm – or was that during the Blitz? I definitely recall my mother warning me as a child not to play with a mirror during lightening. She had the notion that it might attract the lightening strike. Or perhaps the toddler AsISeeIt was just being a bit annoying playing about with her make up mirror and she wanted me to put it down. In more enlighten times and with more forward-looking parents that behaviour might have set one down the road to becoming a young transexual. I digress.

    The left-leaning astraphobic ‘i’ newspaper devotes their big headline and those characteristic in-house bullet points to the weather story. With the tell tale final kicker: ‘Red alerts expected to become more frequent because of climate change‘ – never let a good storm go to waste, eh? Not when there’s an agenda to push.

    ‘“A meteorite fell on my bed!”‘ (Guardian) – due to climate change?

    The formerly patriotic Times long ago parted with any prediliction for the smack of firm conservatism.

    ‘Queen dismayed by “uncaring” Thatcher‘ (Sunday Times 1986); ‘Newspapers say Queen is upset by Thatcher‘ (New York Times 1986)

    Unless, perhaps of course, nowadays when it comes in less-political female form: ‘The UK’s strictest teacher‘ (Times)

    This is Katharine Birbalsingh, just about our last headteacher allowed to be strict with the kids.

    Women do seem to get a bit of a bye these days: ‘Not all women are narcissists – some of us are sociopaths‘ – let me quickly explain this is Marian Keyes writing a feature in the Telegraph.

    Just in case you thought we were ever going to be in the clear covid-wise: ‘Hospitals to keep limit on number of visitors… in some cases relatives are being prevented from visiting non-Covid patients for weeks at a time‘ (Telegraph) – I’ve personally witnessed the NHS making efforts to dissuade visitors from seeing their sick relatives. I’ve also noticed a case where certain medical tests were one moment thought necessary for a patient but suddenly ruled not so much – presumably reducing the waiting list somewhat.

    So the aftermath of Covid lockdown policy doesn’t seem to get a dire coverage of misery and monetary cost like a natural storm does.

    Perhaps urgent matters of national security might intervene? Seems not: ‘Huawei network ban delayed six months. The Government has delayed its plan to remove Huawei from Britain’s telecoms network by six months, blaming Covid‘ (Telegraph) – all absolutely nothing to do with dodgy Chinese cash donations to MPs.

    To wit…

    ‘MI5 chief: UK’s “fight to keep our way of life” spy boss’s interview with Mail reveals Russia and China targeting MPs… yet toothless laws leave us “with one hand behind our back”‘ (Daily Mail) – because of course our govenment couldn’t possibly put through any emergency powers to deal with a serious emergency (sarc – as the teens tend to text)

    The FT tells us: ‘Tensions rise in eastern Ukraine. Invasion fears heightened‘ – please do explain to me how invasion fears can be heightened from the supposed state of invasion immanent – which has supposedly pertained since before Christmas?

    But let’s end on a note of the Chinese getting a dose of their own medicine – I think the word they use in the east is Karma: ‘Illegal crossings from Hong Kong pose threat to mainland’s “zero-Covid” drive‘ (FT)

    BBC IS FAKE NEWS?

    6.00pm News
    Radio 4, 15 May 2012
    An item on Palestinian demonstrations marking Nakba Day referred to “thousands of Palestinians leaving their homes” following the declaration of the State of Israel. Two listeners complained that this gave a misleading impression of the scale of Palestinian displacement and the extent to which it was the result of coercion. The complaint was partly upheld.

    The british PM goes to the security meeting at Munich ( 2022 not 1939) . On GBNews they carry his midday short speach live

    On R4 they are reporting on the scottish silver medal – on R5 its Manchester united corners .
    How can that be right?

    Maybe if the BBC was reporting the footy instead of chamberlain trying to delay hitler people might have noticed …,

    Deduction- the BBC hate the PM so much that they wont even report him at such an important time on such an important subject .

    Beggars belief

    Incidentally – just finished “ munich “ by robert harris – £1 in a charity shop . Pretty good fiction and set me wondering whether chamberlain was a better PM than currently regarded …

    BBC Wokedom update.
    BBC Ignorance is BLISS!

    The word ‘slaves’ is a derivative of Slav – a northern European race indigenous to Eurasia, in particular Russia and Siberia. They were taken as slaves by marauding Arab Muslims in medieval times, and gave their name to the early modern idea of people as chattel.

    I note that neither Arabs nor Muslims have to suffer the indignity of their most precious shrines and monuments being defiled with trigger warnings and contextualising plaques.
    MT (Telegraph)

    The name “English” comes from the pun “non Angli, sed Angeli” (Not Angles, but Angels) made by the Pope in Rome as he looked over some fair haired child slaves brought from York. The Venerable Bede used the pun to name us English.
    MD (Telegraph)

    I watched Alex Scott’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ a few months ago. She travelled to the West Indies to trace her ancestors and was expecting to find they were slaves. What she didn’t expect was that when some of them received their freedom, they owned a plantation and had black slaves of their own. Pardon me saying this but the matters regarding slavery are not ‘black and white’.
    AM (Telegraph)

    Found in Comments section today (Saturday edition)
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/18/will-woke-crowd-address-history-slavery-africa/

    That reminded me that one of the BBC presenters groomed for kids TV was on ‘WDYTYR’ and she traced her ancestors back to Jamaica only to find that her privileged education in England was thanks largely to Slavery, (which she did not know about). It was a bit embarrassing to discover that her family tree included family Slavery alongside the ‘whites’ who (she thought) were to blame. Despite being given freedom (freeman), land and wealth and English privilege. I thought at the time that it was brave for the BBC to air the footage, but no doubt its just a drop in the ocean of BBC propaganda that ‘all slaves were black’, when its clearly false, and that Islamic countries traded white slaves a century before go totally unreported by BBC acolytes. There are still slaves in Islamic cultures now.

    Not that the trendy old BBC plodders care much about such facts, when you can get a good news story aired and endorse a SOROS ‘New World Order’ based around an elite movement of upper class ‘know-it-alls’. Those who themselves benefited from ‘Slavery’ , now anxiously deny any involvement. They would have (without doubt) been keen Slave owners themselves at the time. History being re-written by the new age hippy communists who forget that white slaves existed, even though its well documented by the Romans if one cares to look (see MD above), English slave children, highly prized.

    Russians and Chinese still have vestry’s of slave labour camps. The BBC would have us believe that they ‘care’/ (as in Care for the NHS (?) – when we know its just another socialist narrative to prop up Labour politically with background. They (the left collective) think all coloured people are ‘would be socialists” if we can make them victims. The trouble is as soon as ‘coloured people’ make any money, they too think of themselves are ‘entrepreneurs’ and go on to use the cheapest labour they can get from their own brothers and sisters. Its clearly a blind spot with some races who think all the bad things were by white men. That is clearly not so. And I don’t blame the Romans for my family history being a white slave!

    So its not a good history for those who call themselves black, brown or whatever as being any better than ‘white’ people. The BBC practice discrimination, and proclaim its ‘justified’. That’s Communism for you, remnants of China and Russia are to be seen in the BBC- an elite looking towards Marx for answers, and finding them.

    The incredible thing is that this is funded out of a TV tax designed to stop political lobbying by a public monopoly. Its now become the only reason why the BBC exists. And it argues that it has to ‘balance’ the news with its own version of events. Therefore invalidates the BBC Charter upon it ultimately relies on for ‘enforced payments’. A novelty that is well past sell by date.

    I just Hope Nadine Dorries follows it through and defunds the BBC in preference for subscription only. The BBC has a right to exist, but it has to be paid for by its own followers who want world permanent lock down and ‘race’ masks (sic). And to abolish the family and make all queers equal (as in communal unisex). They have the power, at least they think they do, a small world of (US) globalism Corps dreaming of ‘big money’ in permanent lock down and crisis during transitioning to zero growth, zero industry and zero population growth. We all become slaves then to the global Corps. BBC Climate change predictions are part of that resolution enforcing of US Agenda 21. Now Agenda 30 (COP30). Also known as net zero. (an impossibility in nature), by the time we find out we shall all be slaves and under and Communist rule under joint EU aligned with Russian and China enforcers. The Russians have always needed ‘useful-idiots’ and looking at the BBC’s history, they are able to provide that in buckets and claim public and private finances for its Corporate values that we know only too well, sadly. Bloody BBC, twerps Charter.

    Not the beeb, but something else that really got my goat this week.
    From my postings here, some of you may have gathered that I am ex services. I belong to an old ships association ex RN and we were to have a long awaited reunion in Southsea this April. It has been put of for the last two years due to covid. We are all over 70 and don’t see each other often.
    Anyway, I required an extra day at the hotel, The Best Western Royal Beach. When I rang I was informed that the reunion had been cancelled in this hotel but we would be offered the same terms at another hotel in the same group. The management had not bothered to get in touch to explain this. The receptionist when pressed said the Home Office had requisitioned the hotel for the foreseeable future to house “Families in Distress” these are not British families in distress I must stress, I beleive they are dinghy tourists.
    The hotel said we could still use the event rooms allocated to us. Yeah right, a load of ex matelots and there wives sharing accommodation with non drinkers, that really works.Is there not a hotel chain in the UK that isn’t overrun with these people?

          I’ve read of a couple booking and paying for their wedding reception at a similar hotel, then discovering at a later date it had been seconded to house an assortment of migrants. When they raised their concerns with the management they were told they wouldn’t be getting their deposit back if they cancelled. The couple took legal advice and were told that YES they should get a refund as the original booking was for a different set up at the hotel which was changed since paying the deposit.

    A free* Newspaper highlighting the long march through the institutions as predicted by George Orwell is nigh impossible to deny that the media have invited censorship as way of making them seem important by repeating left wing dogma. Its not just the BBC (although they set the standard for censorship) its spread far and wide, so an alternative voice is welcome.
    * Subscriptions and donations welcome.

    Its a good read. ‘The Light’ (free newspaper) PDF format and well written on hot topics of the week you won’t read about elsewhere… or learn from the BBC.
