Guess the questions the bbc downplayed?
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s sister-in-law has claimed that it will be nice for her and her family to get back to being an unknown family again…..
……gawd – yes, please ! Let’s not be subjected to hours of BBC (and other) TV programming fawning over this family any longer – but somehow, I can’t see obscurity being in their nature.
Kay Bully will need a second incontinence pad in her Spanx tomorrow, methinks.
Yeah come on – the motion picture – starring Emma Watson as the Iranian – that bloke who played Sherlock as the tedious husband …
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advise British-Iranian dual nationals against all travel to Iran.
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/iran
Iran does not recognise dual nationality. If you are a dual British-Iranian national and are detained in Iran, the FCDO’s ability to provide consular support is extremely limited. See Safety and security

Local sports news item, female Muslim refugee cricketer.
“We went back to my country and my mum had a big car accident
… I get discriminated against cos I am a woman playing sport in my (Muslim) society”
Note how the BBC report has added her photo as his own profile background
Sport in ISlamic countries is HARAM! HA HA HA HAH!
OK her family moved to a refugee camp in Bangladesh from Myanmar
In 2014 she went back to the refugee camp to visit her grandmother.
That’s when the car accident happened.
So it is not the case she went back to where they fled from.
It’s due to a fire alarm they say

BBC local enviro reporter
promoting that the best way to appreciate the countryside is in a large group with your own religion only and mostly your own ethnic group.
Somebody told them that the dinghy queue starts at Settle sur Seine.
Stew
The next time go walking in the British countryside with a group I will remember Paul Murphy’s advice i.e.only to walk with white Christians. It’s a deal Mr Murphy and when I am apprehended by the thought police I will tell them where I obtained my advice. Not that it will make the slightest difference because they are as woke as you are.
If only WOKE meant EYES OPEN WIDE but WOKE actually means

Even for China, where companies have struggled with race issues in their marketing previously, the latest inflight magazine from the country’s flagship airline will likely come as a shocker.
Air China’s Wings of China carries a long feature on visiting London, with almost a third of the magazine dedicated to tourist attractions in Britain’s capital and other famous towns such as Oxford. The main article, titled “London the city of ‘hat tricks’,” covers Brits’ apparent fondness for all kinds of hats.
Then, after a section on transport options and lifestyle and cultural activities in London, Wings of China offers some “Tips from Air China.”
“London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians,Pakistanis and black people,” China’s flagship carrier advises. “We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when traveling.”

More dangers of a nuclear exchange today, as Putin being an ex KGB officer often speaks in a way which has to be ‘interpreted’.
There are four conditions for a nuclear launch:
The 2020 doctrine presents four scenarios which might justify the use of Russian nuclear weapons:
— the use of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction against Russia or its allies;
— data showing the launch of ballistic missiles aimed at Russia or its allies;
— an attack on critical government or military sites that would undermine the country’s nuclear forces response actions;
— the use of conventional weapons against Russia “when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy”.
And that last one is the troubling one, because as Putin is intimating together with the sanctions is putting the Russian state in jeapardy.
So who has authorisation to loose these missiles?
A 2020 document called “Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence” says the Russian president takes the decision to use nuclear weapons.
A small briefcase, known as the Cheget, is kept close to the president at all times, linking him to the command and control network of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces. The Cheget does not contain a nuclear launch button but rather transmits launch orders to the central military command – the General Staff.
One man who appears to be becomming increasingly stressed and desperate at the situation in Ukraine, and given his most recent statements appears to be attempting to fulfil that last condition for nuclear release.
The UKs early warning system would of course detect an incoming strike, but there are no air attack warning sirens, instead the UK proposes to switch all mobile devices to receive only, and send every single device a text message telling of an attack. All well and good until the first bomb goes off and wipes out every base station and mobile device with an EMP burst, and if the attacker is Iran or North Korea, that’s probably all they would have, any subsequent attacks would not have any early warning given.
Thoughtful
Surely, under normal circumstances a nuclear strike by any nation would mean the destruction of all. BUT if we are to accept that President Biden is not mentally quite up to the job then just maybe President Putin will chance his arm.
I’m inclined to thnk that common sense will prevail,after all
who wants to die prematurely?
But Thoughtful – what if puttypoot fires off a ‘theatre ‘ nuclear weapon and tells NATO ‘this was a one off – no offence ‘ as opposed to the intergalactic mega launch stuff you describing …
… I’m asking because I don’t know and out of fear …
In the moment going from brightest light ever to life ending blast I’d just like to know ….
Well here’s a little history / Russian culture background that the media aren’t telling and the first part makes it all kind of blindingly obvious once you hear it.
Kyiv Kiev once pronounced Kieve is the ancient city of the Kievan Rus the people who founded Russia itself.
The city of Kiev holds a kind of sacred place in the minds of Russians as the mother city of Russia itself:
https://www.rbth.com/history/326434-kiev-as-mother-of-russian-cities
Highly unlikely therefore the Russians are going to flatten this special city with a tactical Nuclear bomb.
When you look at the other cities they aren’t great sites to do that either, being too close to the Russian border, or provinces with large Russian speaking populations, the others are just too close to NATO borders to risk such a weapon.
Fallout is only controlled by the prevailing wind of course, and Putin and his general staffs strategy has been so dismal it’s almost been erratic and abnormal, so what might appear to be a sensible considered approach might end up with the complete opposite.
“We have found a way to make the payment in full, in compliance with UK and international sanctions”
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says £393.8m of debt to Iran has been paid “which will only be available for humanitarian purposes”

Mark Steyn: Ukrainians still in country ‘willing to fight’
2,269 views16 Mar 2022
It looks like Biden is heading towards being the first Democrat President in US history to win the Presidency for the opposition.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/03/16/poll-republicans-lead-democrats-on-top-issues-7-months-away-from-midterms/
Right now the Republicans and in particular Trump only need to sit back and watch him and his ugly hangers on destroy the USA.
Biden did nothing in the last election but he won. The days of honest elections are over.
GWF
Yes I agree – but a lot of people seem to think it’s ‘business as usual ‘ and that elections will be fair and proper … Obama / Biden knows that if he can pull it off once – next time is just as easy … as well as cut out the stuff which might have got then caught in a fair fight ( mobile phone traffic – multiple voters after their cash – hooky computers )

However, the fairly recent published comments by Roger Daltrey about Brexit lead me to hope that all is not lost.
One of those “beat combos” no doubt ?
FYI:
In 1990 Townshend was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who. he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of the band; and in 2008 he received Kennedy Center Honors. He was ranked No. 10 in Gibson.com’s 2011 list of the top 50 guitarists, and No. 10 in Rolling Stone’s updated 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

Dunstable school suspends teacher over Bin Laden image
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-60556110
A teacher has been suspended after using a picture of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden in an attempt to portray the Prophet Muhammad in a Religious Studies lesson.
All Saints Academy in Dunstable said it recognised the “deep hurt and distress” caused to Muslims by the use of a “totally inappropriate” image.
The Church of England school issued an “unreserved and sincere apology”.
It added there would be a “detailed and swift investigation”.
Should have shown a picture of Jimmy Savill or Gary Glitter, closer to the truth.

ITVnews on air pollution
In the past 24 hours cars and windows in the southeast and other parts of the UK have been covered in a dust that’s flown all the way from the Sahara Desert.
Not here in the morning ..then all afternoon we’ve had rain
This is a good example where Greenpeace have used a figure ’40K deaths’, but the interviewee says it’s ’40K premature deaths’. But they don’t say that it’s lives cut short – i.e. pollution takes say 30 days off live expectancy.
Andrew Neil vs Greenpeace – Air Pollution (car crash interview)
Take a figure which shows shortened life expectancy (which is hard to determine because obesity etc), total these bits up (days) and convert it into a single person’s life (this is the bad maths bit) then use it in a term ’40K premature deaths’ and then remove the ‘premature’.
So you end up with driving your car to work is killing 40K people a year – think of the children’s lungs @2:18 . Won’t anyone think of the children!

“……I tell ye…”
It appears that Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the House of Commons, is abandoning the idea of being independant. I’ve noticed.he is allowing longer and longer rambling “questions” (statements) from Smarmer and opposition members. Yesterday, he cut short an answer from Dominic Raab the deputy PM saying it was “ancient history”. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard a Speaker intervene in that way. It’s surely up to the PM or deputy to decide what reply they make.
Mrs. got her kit off yet?
Flotsam – completely agree – the session is also getting longer . Hoyle has reverted to being a labour MP – and he seems to think his job is to judge the quality of government answers as opposed to ensuring questions are questions – and they are about government policy –
And how the rules allow MPs to ask a question about the individual actions of plod (eg strip searching druggies or little Mohammed who can’t get a particular NHS treatment ) is beyond me …
But Hoyle – going native …
Unacceptable by Hoyle and clearly biased.

Not that I care – but the BBC is painfully distancing nut nut and the government from anything to do with the freeing of the spy from Iran .
The dodgy labour mp – named after a flower? Is charging onto every media outlet to crow… and we are faced the an MSM blitz cum the weekend of those ‘my ordeal ‘ £ stories from the re united couple .
But main lesson ? If you want 6 years locked up overseas try going to spy in Iran …
Quite clear this morning that even the Daily Mail is acutely aware that the paying of a £400 million ransom to free a silly BAME woman from captivity with our enemy is highly unpopular. Comments are being moderated across all stories and only the very few positive ones are being allowed to make the boards.
Quite scandalous that decades of British policy not to pay ransoms, and over 50 years of not returning this money to Iran has simply been trampled over by Red Boris in his desire to free a single woman.
Not quite the same for the White male captives in countries of the UAE though is it. Boris is showing he is every bit as Left wing as his mucker Jeremy Corbyn, and I seriously doubt that Kier Starmer would have pulled a stunt like this.
The BBC cubicle gardens are full of the joys of Spri… Naz.

Thoughtful
You mean Starmer would not have been seen to pull a stunt like this.
We could have more usefully built half a frigate instead.
Ukraine Invasion – Russia to give North to Belarus, East Russia to keep, South Ready for Chinese Belt and Roads!
Isn’t Angela Rayner appalling? Every word she utters comes from the Marx book of quotes from the class War. Does she put the accent on or is it natural?
Perhaps someone can also comment on why anyone who sends Rayner an Email she doesn’t like is prosecuted, while death threats to politicians perceived to be on the right are left uninvestigated.
Given her obvious handicap it is the only thing keeping her on the front bench.
I read that as “appealing”, and I thought I’ll have a pint of what you’re having.

Memo to anonymous BBC author: starlings are not rare.
Marsh harriers are rare
I think Raab should have sat down and refused to carry on with PMQ’s. He has the absolute right to reply as he sees fit, the Speaker was out of order and does not have the right to “moderate” Raab’s or Boris’s replies.
Coming to BBC’s coverage, I noticed Laura Keunsberg wasn’t on the panel to promote the BBC’s opinion.
Flotsam – I think comrade Hoyle got fed up with what nut nut did last week by referring to the last Labour government – so long ago
However Raab had a right to refer to the recent past where Ange supported a traitor – Corbyn – who wanted to end defence and the security services…
With two of Ukraine’s biggest neon producers halting production, chipmakers could expect disruptions in the long run.
The global semiconductor industry is at risk of being adversely impacted by a neon shortage.
It comes after Reuters reported that two Ukrainian companies, Ingas and Cryoin, have halted production following the invasion of the country by Russia. Ukraine is a significant supplier of neon and Ingas and Cryoin account for anywhere between 45pc and 54pc of the world’s total neon output, according to Reuters calculations.

Ukraine produces roughly 25% of the world’s neon, which is a byproduct of steel manufacturing, according to Bernstein Research. Large semiconductor manufacturers such as Intel or TSMC typically store two to three months of the gas, and there may be as much as three months worth of neon moving through the supply chain.6 days ago
