Start the Week 21 February 2022

The newspaper version of the BBC The Guardian – has published ‘100 cultural figures on 100 years of the BBC ‘ . Many commenting earn their living from collecting licence tax fees . Clearly they live in an alternative world from real people suffering from constant BBC propaganda . We can expect more during this centenary year …

    Is the anti semite racist back on the airwaves yet?

    A two week ban when others lose their jobs and careers

    Noticed this on another site:

    ’I’ve come across a few famous people who were less than pleasant, but the worst by far was Caryn Johnson, aka Whoopi Goldberg.

    It was at a bookshop in Santa Monica about 7–8 years ago. I was with my wife and son, and Ms. Goldberg was in the next aisle. A lady approached her and tried to make conversation, and Ms. Goldberg replied “Do I look like I have time for this shit? Get the fuck out of here!” Another person got a similar response from Ms. Goldberg a few minutes later. My son, who was about 4 at the time, asked “Daddy, why is that lady being so mean to everyone?”

    I see that “The Apprentice, You’re Fired” had its usual token BAME on this week. Every week, one of the guest panel has to be BAME, usually an unfunny “comedian” you’ve never heard of. It’s so obvious and pathetic. Thank you, BBC, for your stupid attempts at brainwashing. After 100 years, it’s time to say goodbye.

      BBC2’s Richard Osmans House Of Games was the same. Had to be one white, one black one, one gay one, one AN Other, often a Lefty WASP comedian or a children’s presenter.

      Only trouble was, the ethnics never seemed to win. So when they had a champion of champions week, they had to parachute a non-caucasian in who had last their heat to ensure quotas were met.

      Mastermind seems to have gone the same way.

    Rdio4 get themselves in a parallel universe by the way they operate
    They cherrypick an expert and hang onto to his every word

    John Bell: “The only people are really SUFFERING badly from this disease are the unvaccinated”
    emm the fully vaccinated make up 190 of the 200 DEATHS/day

    By “suffering” I guess he means that most the ones suffering harshly enough to need ventilation are unvaccinated
    I can believe that.

    #2 The prog failed to mention that this year the overall death count for all causes is down.
    Spiegelhlter implied that you’d expect 2,000 people to die every day in January,
    but this year, even though 200/day are logged as Covid it’s still coming out as 1,900 deaths/day total.

    The really funny comedians did their apprenticeship in the old working mens clubs and pubs – and they were tough in the the North ! None of those who believe they’re funny in the past couple of decades wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes in that environment.

    Now if you’re on the telly and under 40 you’re either a presenter or a ‘comedian’. Its not just BAMEs who are unfunny. Try as I might, the likes of Rob Beckett, Jason Manford, Jo Brand, Jack Dee, Lee Evans, Eddie Izzard, Harry Hill, Jimmy Carr, never make me even smile. Maybe its the northern accent, but Peter Kay is the exception, and does me laugh.

    Not biased BBC -probably – for a change.

    On the BBC webshite there is a story that a policeman in Devon and Cornwall has been dismissed for gross misconduct.

    There are 160,000 police in the UK.
    One dismissal rates a main story.

    Mmm. Either the police are whiter than white (am I allowed to say that nowadays) (unlikely) or there is so little accountability and responsibility for their bad actions that such discipline is such a rarity it warrants a main news story.

    Not a wholly attractive thought.

    Police normal retirement age is 60. For each year of service they earn entitlement of 1/55 th of their annual pay up rated by CPI inflation plus 1.25% per annum. A 30 year old policeman earning £30,000 per annum for one year is entitled to guaranteed risk free pension benefits that would cost you or I around £26,000 from our pension pot. Data which almost never makes it into public discourse. No surprises for working out who pays for this.
    Mind how you go.

    The Islamic Broadcasting Corporation informs us that “India’s Muslim victims of hate crimes live in fear”.
    So concerned is the beeb that it posts a report in its “Features and Analysis” section, which means it’ll fester there for ages, like a bad smell.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-60225543
    Strangely, however, Al-Beeb fails to inform us that it’s Christians who “live in fear” in almost every single islamic country in the world.
    Even the rotten Guardian acknowledges that the “Persecution of Christians is ‘coming close to genocide’ in Middle East.”
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/02/persecution-driving-christians-out-of-middle-east-report
    Of course it’s not just the Middle East. Numerous organisations list the countries where Christians are persecuted and, apart from Communist China and North Korea, they’re almost all Islamic. Which is not surprising given the numerous exhortations to fight and kill Christians and non-believers in the Quran, the Hadith and the Sila. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

    Have just read about a 64 year old white male voiceover artiste, who voice trained for 7 years in preparation for his work. All his work has now dried up because every radio and tv commercial, and most tv continuity jobs are all now made almost entirely by black artists, thanks to, he says, “right on” London based ad agencies.

    As he further says in his ‘letter’, due to constant referrals of ‘white privilege’ and the fad of BLM the tv, radio and magazines are now full of black artistes at the expense of the 86% of the population that is white.

    A regular lefty writer for The Guardian, Nesrine Malik urges the Woke to go to war with people who are unaccepting of all things woke who are to be regarded as Little Englanders.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/21/scared-woke-progressives-stand-culture-wars-labour

    Interestingly Nesrine is a Muslim…

    The Muslim faith is the most anti-woke and savage movement on the planet.

    So Nesrine would go to war against people who can be painted for instance as racist but I wonder how that works in the future for instance with the LGBT fraternity.

    I suspect Nesrine has the common hidden Muslim agenda. To take power in the West they must first tarnish Western democracies. This is best done initially by attacking anything traditional in our culture and removing its adherents.

    Of course once that is attained they will no longer need to pretend to support those in society who would be deemed totally unacceptable in Muslim countries so will ditch them like hot bricks.

    I understand this sort of duplicity is encouraged in the Muslim World especially over White European males as a tool to take them off guard long enough to grab control.

    They can then dispose of the problem citizens at their leisure.

    Create the waste then chop it ….

    Jacob Rees-Mogg isn’t wasting time settling in to his new brief. Speaking to the Times this weekend, the new Minister for Government Efficiency finally made a commitment to rein in wasteful Whitehall spending by dramatically cutting back on the Civil Service headcount by at least 65,000 jobs, most of which were created during the pandemic. About time, given there are now about half a million of them floating around Westminster in total.

      R4 Sunday minute 47

      Last year MISTER Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter for breaching their policies on GLORIFYING violence & sharing misleading information

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0014p2w

      I don’t recall Twitter citing Trump GLORIFYING violence
      rather Twitter acted obtusely saying that 2 peaceful tweets MIGHT somehow incite people to violence.

      On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump Tweeted:
      “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future.
      They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

      Shortly thereafter, the President Tweeted:
      “To all of those who have asked,
      I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

      Twitter stated
      “these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks.”
      .. Come on, no serious person was contemplating violence against the inauguration cos they’d know that would play into the lib-establishment’s hands
      The killer point is that is obvious Twitter doesn’t ban other people when the link is miles more substantial.
      https://ktul.com/news/nation-world/how-does-twitter-decide-what-content-crosses-the-line

      Facebook initially said
      “Last month, the Oversight Board upheld Facebook’s suspension of former US President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts following his praise for people engaged in violence at the Capitol on January 6. “
      .. Em, Trump didn’t praise any violence
      so Facebook updated the explanation with a load of absolute waffle

    The BBC defensive “commercial” of cut together snippets of quotes and voice overs from their past productions to remind us how much we love them is an object lesson in how to “fix” the flavour of comments to support their cause by clever editing.

    It is actually verging on the ridiculous.

    A third form and infantile school level idea.

        wouldn’t surprise me if the BBC were to become
        a full time advertising organization. The BBC
        diversity department will be in a permanent
        orgasmic state.

    Now we know why the BBC did not want to update the Covid stats over the weekend as they have been doing for some time.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274
    The new infections are down by getting on for 20,000 (as at 18 Feb) and deaths have collapsed to just 15. There are nearly 400 people discharged who had been patients with Covid in hospital. Good news all round ….

    …… except for the BBC, Labour Party and TUC.

    there’s action across the US from Soros/Biden backed District Attorneys
    and they are prosecuting the cops
    One cop says this action is deliberately timed to scupper his and Republicans chances at the upcoming elections.

    Finally, Putin has ordered his troops into Ukraine.
    Well, why not? After Biden implied a ‘minor incursion’ would be acceptable, and after his catastrophic cock-up in Afghanistan exposed America’s weakness.

    What next – China invades Taiwan?

    For over a year, Sleepy Joe – Imbecilic Joe; Bumbling, Stumbling, Mumbling Joe – has been a joke to everyone except the BBC; now he’s a real danger to world peace.

    Look at Greece! Sturgeon independence plot torpedoed as SNP faces £380BN ‘settlement deal’
    NICOLA Sturgeon has been warned Scotland could be hammered with a bill worth hundreds of billions of pounds following Scottish independence and could find its national debt on a par with crisis-hit Greece.

    “If Scotland left the union there would definitely have to be a settlement deal to separate the two nations decisively.

    “Scotland has a significant share of UK national debt, and there are several major UK assets in Scottish territory like North-Sea oil/gas, military bases, and Crown territory.

    “I mean, listen guys, we are talking about the potential for war in Europe,” Harris said. “I mean, let’s really take a moment to understand the significance of what we’re talking about.”

    After some meandering, Harris concluded that, collectively, the allies desire a “diplomatic end” to this. Viewers called her remarks “word salad”

    Kamala Harris ripped as ‘perpetually unprepared’

    Harris was also fact-checked for saying that Europe has been warless for 70 years.

    A day ago the BBC was chipper about its’ favourite false president going for a ‘summit ‘ with comrade putin . How does that look now .
    Today is either war or a western backdown with meaningless sanctions ….followed by reprisals from Moscow . Methinks the price of gas is about to go skyward together with oil. Maybe Biden will offer NATO status to the rest of Ukraine by the end of the day.

    This does – of course – enable the BBC to spend another day avoiding the madness in Canada .

    If I had a sense of humour this would also be the day that ms Dick announces the party investigation is over …..

    Rand Paul denounces Trudeau’s ‘dangerous’ Emergencies Act, warns of similar US laws
    Paul has tried and failed to get similar legislation struck down in the US

    Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said the Emergencies Act that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently invoked to quell the trucker convoy protests is “very, very dangerous” and warned against similar legislation that exists in the United States.

    “I think statutes that allow presidents or heads of state to invoke emergencies are very, very dangerous,” said Paul during an episode of the BASED Politics podcast that aired Sunday. “We have the same sort of statutes here, and I have long-time been an opponent of these. We actually have in the United States an Emergency Act that allows the president to shut down the internet.”

    Some here have mentioned living in a parallel universe, many in science fiction have dealt with alternative histories, such as what if Germany had won WW2, thank goodness they did not:

    “The Nazis created nature preserves, championed sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature. How Green Were the Nazis?: Nature, Environment, and Nation in the Third Reich is the first book to examine the Third Reich’s environmental policies and to offer an in-depth exploration of the intersections between brown ideologies and green practices.

    Environmentalists and conservationists in Germany welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime with open arms and hoped that it would bring about legal and institutional changes. ”

    https://www.ohioswallow.com/book/How+Green+Were+the+Nazis%3F

    ” Nazi leadership ardently championed renewable energy, and institutionalized organic farming and land use planning on a level unmatched by any nation past or present. The Nazis would also establish the first nature preserves in Europe and an unprecedented level of government support for ecologically sound farming methods. ”

      I’m sorry to cast another dim light on this BBC, but Wilfred Bramble was a homosexual paedophile who preyed on young boys in much the same way Jimmy Saville preyed on young girls.
      It would appear that the BBC knew all about this and did nothing about it – as usual.
