I had a brief look at Rwanda on Wikipedia . I got as far as Christianity is the biggest religion there .
Why wouldn`t a committed Christian like an archbishop want asylum seekers sent there ?

The people of Great Britain are getting very angry with Mr Welby, the BBC , the “Invaders and the queue jumpers” from France.
The British Lion could be awakening ?
Farage on Welby, “the left wing archbishop who has done more to damage the reputation of the C of E and decrease the numbers who turn up on a Sunday, than almost anyone who’s ever lived.”

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:21-24.)
Increasingly how the CofE works is that middle class white people attend and are expected to cough up lots and lots of cash, ideally regular monthly bank transfers, while donating their volunteer time to the running of the church ( cleaning, committees, PCC, building repairs, flowers, helping run services, music, video, projector, sidesmen, lay readers etc etc).
Meanwhile BAME parishioners contribute little to the running but do attend in numbers. The whites who pay for it all thus feel marginalised, as indeed increasingly they are, both by the situation and by the left wing diatribes that come out of Canterbury that castigate the very people who keep the whole thing afloat.
Little wonder the C of E is in such a mess. Goodness knows what the ongoing finances are like.
C of E finances? Read this:

I do hope Nibor that you are not referring to the Arch Socialist of Cant as a “committed Christian” because he is neither committed nor a Christian in my opinion.
In Dantes Inferno the lowest level of hell is reserved for betrayers such as the arch Socialist whose souls are taken from their bodies while still alive to be replaced by a demon while they are deposted next to their master Satan, encased in ice until the day of judgement.
Before I ‘clock off’, has anyone noticed that maxincony never posts any example of Al Beeb’s Bias?
Evidence that he is a Troll?
Evidence of a few things.
“He made the claim; it’s up to him to provide the evidence.”
For a defender of the BBC, brains suitably absent.
Seems a source, saying things.
And like ‘quotes’, or “quotes”, that ‘he’ appears variably.
east is East; West is West.
A collection of sources saying things is a ‘group’.
Apparently.
Then there is the “quote” from an ‘exp… campaigner’.
Another example of BBC ‘News’ that says zippy of value. Maybe the tweet share here will reveal more in the added caption.
That would be no.
With apologies to those genuinely suffering, the biggest cause of alleged mental health problems is the bloody BBC keeping banging on about it. They are close to saying ‘Have you got mental health issues? Why not? What’s wrong with you?’ Bleat, bleat bleat. I’m sick of it.
A few years ago I was in Stow on the Wold and knocked on a pub door at opening time. It was locked. Eventually the barmaid unlocked the door, allowed me in, and then re-locked the door !!!!!
I thus had the pub to myself for over an hour. Eventually she opened it and a group came in from the nearby Fire College.
Why did this all happen?
Because it was the annual traveller horse fair and she didn’t want a recurrence of the trouble she had had in previous years.
Was she a racist? In the eyes of the BBC, definitely.
To me, she was just sensible. And pulled a good pint.

I had first hand experience of their ‘shi….y’ ways. Almost 25 years ago at the end of our closed off road, a convoy of new Range Rovers pullling mobile homes pitched up and broke through a metal gate. Immediately everyone in the road was on the street, the Mayor was rung along with the police. Long story short, it took just over 8 hours and a barricade of neighbour cars barring entry and exit of our road so no more of the b’stards could join their mates, and neither could they get out. After being outnumbered they left, but not before they had emptied their homes of old suites and furniture, dozens of black bags filled literally with sh…. and soiled baby nappies.
And they want our sympathy ??????
Why do they have UK passports ?

bbc muzzies just cannot help themselves injecting their own racism, hatred and venom into their output, therefore not fit to be part of an impartial brodcaster.

Partygate fines: Boris Johnson set to apologise to MPs over lockdown breach

Change the subject!!!
On Toady it was the Knobson and Useless show today.
One article featured showed how low we have gone as a socialist nation.
There is to be an initiative to encourage more use of the (heavily subsidised) state railways. Off peak fares are to be cut by as much as a half for two months in an attempt to increase usage.
But it should be pretty clear to anyone with two brain cells that this is best left to the private sector and allow the market economy to do what it does well, where companies can make their own decisions to manage their own supply and demand in order to make a profit. And they do so by people who understand the business reviewing regularly and can be very fleet of foot when necessary.
Instead we have yet another ossified state apparatus whereby a committee in Whitehall made up of politicians and civil servants with no business sense whatever meet occasionally ( probably remotely!) and decide, or more likely guess, what is good for us.
It goes without saying that this aspect received not one scintilla of thought from our useless socialist state broadcaster.
How are the waiting times in the NHS these days ?
The BBC way.
A friend has installed an air source heat pump. It cost £14,000.
He got a grant from the government a.k.a the taxpayer of £10,000. He had to find £4,000 of his own money. Such grant was very hard to obtain and I believe are now down to £5,000 of taxpayers money per item.
I suspect the popularity of these devices is down to the feel-virtuous, entitled mind set of their owners.
Gas boilers are £2000-3000 and you pay for them out of your own pocket.
The formerly patriotic Times newspaper likes to include something for the ladies with its Times2 features suppliment.
Fashion, health, well-being and celebrity rule the roost.
Here you’ll discover: ‘The four essential spring trends — they’re probably in your wardrobe‘
Follow star-struck Harry Walker: ‘I’m invested in Britney’s happy ever after — but not Brooklyn’s‘
Be advised of: ‘Teens in crisis: why we need to change the way we raise daughters‘
And you’ll, perhaps, be reassured of: ‘Covid’s blood clot risk is real — but don’t be too alarmed‘
This morning, between the venerable old Times masthead and the news headlines, Times2 teases us with: ‘How to tone your arms and legs for summer‘ and: ‘The great hairy chest debate. To wax or not?‘ – but who is this open-shirt fronted smiling model pictured relaxed on a sofa with dark gallic looks and lush torso topiary? Please don’t tell us the Trans debate has come to this.
Fortunately, we don’t need to open the Times2 suppliment or, for that matter, the can of worms that is the definition of woman (a Gordian knot so complex that even the forensic giant that is Sir Keir Starmer couldn’t cut it) – nope, we simply pick up the Daily Telegraph and spot the same upper body rug exposing photo captioned: ‘Macron bares all. How flashing your chest became a powerplay‘
We shouldn’t really be surprised that the little Napoleon is revealing himself to be more than a little image conscious: ‘Macron, 44, was ridiculed last month for swapping out his usual slick-suited style for a more ‘war room’ look – with many suggesting he was modelling himself on the army attire of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky‘ (Daily Mail)
‘...how the French president is channelling Hollywood’s leading men in a bid to woo voters… Macron was pictured topless on a jet ski pounding through the waves in 2020, a pursuit DiCaprio has often been snapped doing – although often with a twentysomething squeeze tucked behind him‘ – Le President’s wifey is pushing seventy-something, but heyho. Given his stature – or lack thereof – I’d picture Macron as more of a Tom Cruise figure. But I’m not sure about the Holywood matinée idol analogy… is this not somewhat Putin-like photo shoot behaviour? Although I doubt that a bare-back Macron, riding around on a cockrel, would have quite the impact on French voters as does Putin and his Russian bear.
Globalists would disagree but there is such a thing as national characteristics.
Here’s a deep cut… I’m reminded here of skiffle-era novelty singer Lonnie Donegan and his “Nobody loves like an Irishman”
You probably won’t hear this one on the radio these days, teenagers – for many reasons including those surrounding this verse:
“Hey! A turbaned Turk who scorns the world
May strut about with his whiskers curled
Keep a hundred wives under lock and key
For nobody else but himself to see
Yet long must he pray with his Al Koran
Before he can love like an Irishman”
Basically Lonnie goes around the world comparing the famous lovers of various nationalities adversely to the Irish.
For our purposes we alight on the line: “The gay monsieur, a slave no more” – we take this slightly obscure line to be a reference to post-WW2 French liberation – which was still topical back in 1958.
Taking the theme of top politicians courting the lady voters, let’s now cross continents, as the BBC is wont to do.
BBC: ‘Why women vote for India PM Narendra Modi’s BJP. By Geeta Pandey BBC News, Delhi‘
How familiar to us is that BBC headline phrasing where our national broadcaster takes a current political reality – about which they disapprove – and seek to explain in some carping would-be expert analysis. You know the sort of thing – you’ll read next week an aghast BBC pontificate on how Boris survived Partygate. I digress.
‘Behind every successful man is a woman, goes the popular saying‘ – careful now.
‘Since 1962 – when the Election Commission began breaking down voter turnout by gender in general elections – more women always voted for the Congress party at the national level. But in 2019, for the first time ever, BJP became the party with the highest number of female votes‘
And so Geeta, do tell us… your problem is? ‘Now, the BJP – like most Indian political parties – is hardly made up of feminists and has a world view that many women find unpalatable‘
So what went wrong, in your opinion?
‘So how did the BJP become the party of choice for Indian women?‘ – OK, phrase the question your way. And use Nalin Mehta, political scientist, as your cover for editorial opinion… at one remove.
‘The big change that happened in 2019 at the national level, he says, can be traced back to 2007… It was the first time, Mr Mehta says, that Mr Modi “extensively courted women” – earning the moniker of “India’s unlikeliest sex symbol”. At election rallies, he often talked about his 56-inch chest – a common masculine boast used by strongmen across Hindi-speaking states. But known for his politics of “muscular nationalism”, Mr Modi owned the term’
‘”Every time he would mention it, there would be an audible gasp from the audience, especially from the section where women voters were sitting‘ Ooh errr, missus…! Goodness, gracious me…!
What’s to be done, BBC, can we get rid of Modi?
‘But this gender-based support for a party when it’s personality-driven could have a short shelf life, says Maya Mirchandani, senior journalist and head of media studies at Ashoka University… “At a time when unemployment is rising, inflation is high, and fuel prices are constantly going up, the only thing holding his supporters together is the politics of religious identity. But if communal violence gets out of hand and the economy is not pulled out of the morass, it would be the women who run the home and hearth who would turn against him,” she says. “That tipping point hasn’t come yet, but it could.”‘
All the broads appear to need to focus on the cougar market to survive.
Always fun when the Graun tries to do that whilst balancing daily fashion with Eco.
Time for Mdm. Macron to go full armpit for the lads to swing vote du rodent sniffer?
TOADY Watch #1 – will today change anything? The BBC are no doubt hoping so.
The PM has to face Parliament. Will he admit to being a brainless, thoughtless buffoon? Or will he tell how he was advised by Civil Servants that work colleagues having a gathering a.k.a. party was strictly within the Lockdown rules? Or will he let the full story come out? That is assuming the PM has been sharp enough and organised enough to get the whole ‘Partygate’ thing investigated.
David Starkey puts the blame on the “astonishing degree of entitlement and arrogance” of civil servants.
Boris Told the Truth: The Guilty Parties of Partygate.
Starkey specifically mentions Helen McNamara the ‘director of propriety and ethics’ and Kate Josephs the ‘director general of the covid task force,’ who both flagrantly broke the rules and subsequently moved on. (Mark Sedwill also gets a mention).
Starmer wouldn’t dare call such people out because he is, and always has been, essentially ‘one of them.’
Context is everything.
ti, most ministers do not even blow their nose while at No10/11 or in their Ministry without checking with a CS or the Government’s legal adviser as to whether they would be breaking the law or not.
Yes, the story of those ‘resignations’ would be interesting for Parliament to hear but the other Parties in the House know full well that Ministers always protect CSs who, consequently, ‘get away with murder’ at the taxpayers expense.
An excellent synopsis by Starkey. Bojo would have relied on his senior civil servants to update him on the plethora of ever changing covid regulations just as he depended on scientists to advise him on how to handle the spread of the virus. If they told him everything in No10 was within the rules why would he not believe them?
It is often said Bojo is not known for his grasp of detail and with constantly changing covid regulations it would be unreasonable to expect him do this. In support of this theory see the CPS guidance on potential legal action following the rule changes at the end of 2020/early 2021. They state… “It is intended to assist prosecutors in the navigation of the structure of the Regulations (and) is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the legislation”.

Erm.. novelty ?
Donegan had 31 UK top 30 hit singles, 24 being successive and three at number one. He was the first British male singer with two US top 10 hits.[1] Donegan received an Ivor Novello lifetime achievement award in 1995[4] and, in 2000, he was made an MBE. Donegan was a pivotal figure in the British invasion due to his influence in the US in the late ‘50s.
Fair comment. My Dad, was a Lonnie Donegan fan – he was rather old fashioned that way and, so my mother said, thought Buddy Holly would never catch on. My grandfather claimed to have built a swimming pool for Donegan – he told us it was guitar-shaped.
Zephir, was it Lonnie Donegan’s Guitar Tutor that was one of the most influential music books – ever – or am I thinking of a book by someone else?

Little Britain, BBC iPlayer, 2022
30 March 2022
Summary of complaint
We received complaints about a sketch in Little Britain on iPlayer.
Our response
All jokes in our output are judged on context and intent. The sketches in which the character Linda Flint makes reference to the appearance or race of a series of people are intended to expose and ridicule some of the outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society, which is more apparent when viewing the sketches within the context of a full episode, and across the series as a whole. The programme is part of the BBC’s comedy archive and information is provided for iPlayer viewers about the inclusion of discriminatory language.

Tony Blair resigns as Middle East peace envoy
This article is more than 6 years old
Former British PM has written to UN chief to confirm resignation from job he took in 2007
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/27/tony-blair-resigns-as-middle-east-peace-envoy-report
Criticism of Blair in circles around Abbas focused on the allegation that he was too close to successive Israeli governments and more interested in Israel’s needs than promoting Palestinian issues. Senior officials were angry enough at one stage to discuss declaring him persona non grata, although that plan was shelved.
It is not clear whether the new role that Blair envisages for himself will be under the auspices of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

“A new Doctor Who podcast spin-off series is making the show more female and LGBTQ+ than ever before.
Doctor Who: Redacted, written by a transgender woman and with a transgender star, premieres on BBC Sounds this week.
It’s the story of three young women who make a conspiracy theory podcast about a mysterious blue box that crops up throughout history.
They also end up having an encounter of their own with a certain time-travelling alien.
“It’s a real first for the Doctor Who universe to have a cast that’s completely led by women and completely led by queer women,” writer Juno Dawson tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
The Jodie Whittaker era has already explored LGBTQ+ themes, including time travel assistant Yaz having a crush on The Doctor – which will be revisited in a new TV special.

For some time now I have been accustomed to “taking the political temperature” of the press by skimming across the main UK press websites.
As we on here are very aware the big 3, The BBC, The Guardian and The independent have all been moving relentlessly Lib-Lab left and woke.
However I am noticing a new trend. The normally fairly balanced popular mainly working-class dailys including the Mail and the Express have shown some balance. I now detect a distinctive move by them to the left and becoming increasingly anti-Tory in particular. there is also a growing trend amongst them to tarnish such things beloved by the globalists such as Brexit.
I rather suspect that the press unions, probably backed by shady Global forces are moving the furniture in the background by infiltrating members into their ranks to try to silence all opposition to their lefty ambitions.
It will not be long before sites like this are the only dissident voices so likely that they will rewrite the rulebook to take them down.

Have you also noticed? Both nationally and internationally, there are two sides with appropriate ‘camps’ formed/forming and all are slowly but surely filtering off between each. The Woke/Marxists and those possessing common sense are moving left / right and, internationally, the evil are going one way with the marginally less evil going the other i.e. Iran/Russia/Venezuela/N Korea. The World is accelerating in its palpable degeneration overall and, frankly the next WW will be a true WW. Hairline triggers everywhere. I think I will have my wish to live long enough to see how it all pans out. A sure sign of this equanimity is when you chuckle at the news items as opposed to raising blood pressure……………..
I don’t read the Daily Mail but have heard that it moved to the Left under editor Geordie Gregg (after Paul Dacre). I do read the Mail on Sunday from time to time but couldn’t say whether it has moved appreciably. Does anybody here have any views on that?
“Paul Dacre appointed editor-in-chief of Daily Mail parent company. Paul Dacre has returned to the Daily Mail publisher as editor-in-chief of the newspaper’s parent company after pulling out of the running to be the next chair of the media regulator, Ofcom.22 Nov 2021”
George Gregg was then removed
and replaced by Ted Verity, who will have oversight of both titles
Cross-party politicians have warned of growing English nationalism following devolution, airing their views in a BBC programme.
Home Secretary Jack Straw says the English had used their “propensity to violence to subjugate Ireland, Wales and Scotland” on the Radio 4 programme Brits. The broadcast is examining what it now means to be British.
Mr Straw will describe the English as “potentially very aggressive, very violent” and will “increasingly articulate their Englishness following devolution.”

The Scottish National Party is a Scottish nationalist and social democratic political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence from the United Kingdom and for membership of the European Union, with a platform based on civic nationalism. Wikipedia
Mr Straw will tell the programme: “As we move into this new century, people’s sense of Englishness will become more articulated and that’s partly because of the mirror that devolution provides us with and because we’re becoming more European at the same time.”

Cant seem to find any bBC coverage of an unusual display of diversity at the Scottish Cup semi final .
The Celtic end at Hampden Park had a huge display of Irish tricolours
– almost to a man
There was also one ” we go to war under the flag of Ireland”
Lost for words.
Except for ” plastic paddies”
Ah… modern Ireland

As if the biased BBC would ever have a bad word to about the scum that support them. They still live in the middle ages!

” It’s really a race against time to resupply the beleaguered Ukrainian military
Some of Ukraine’s best forces are fighting in the east but they are heavily outnumbered.
“This could go either way, and even if they beat Russia in this, we’re not out of the woods yet.”
“Russian Security policy expert Dr Aglaya Snetkov:
In the east, the Ukrainians have the manpower but lack military equipment, whereas Russian forces have sufficient military equipment but lack manpower,.”
Whatever the case. it look like Ukrainians are getting smoked with some starting to surrender.
I may have got this wrong, but aren’t the bbc supposed to be impartial? Russia and Ukraine are at war. The reporters view should not come into the report, whether he is on the “nice” side or not. And yet “We’re not out of the woods yet”. Thanks Frank.
Report the facts please, I’ll make my own mind up.
I do wish there was a case lower than lower case to use for bbc.
I entirely agree, and Tom Bradby on ITV is even worse. Fancies himself something rotten. ‘Now you may have thought that…..’. Don’t tell me what I may have thought, I already know that thank you. Stop being so bloody patronising and just read your autocue. It really isn’t that difficult.

Priti Patel announces a plan to deal with people smugglers, howls of protest from the usual suspects….
Rees Mogg requests civil servants return to working in the office, as per advice given back in January. Howls of protest from the unions etc.
The only unsurprising aspect of the latter was that the Education Department have the lowest numbers of employees returning to work properly in the office as they are paid to do by Joe Public at around a miserable 25%. Little wonder our schools and educational quality are in such a shabby state if this demonstrates the dedication of their leaders.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61145692
Both plans totally rational and aimed at dealing with a serious societal issue so objections can only be viewed as either political or selfish.
Gen-Z really are proving to be a bunch of selfish, foot-dragging entitled schemers.
The Tory obsession with everyone returning to the office is based on how many wealthy individuals have invested in London office space, and that investment suffering because of the numbers of people not in the office.
A long time ago I posted a video from someone in New York who compared 9/11 effects with the covid effect and he called he before & after bandwidth.
Before people couldn’t work from home but higher bandwidth means now they can.
He said at the time the world was going to change as a result of this, and it certainly is proving to have done so.
So long as people can be productive working from home then I cannot understand the obsession with them being in an office in a town 2 hours to and from home each day, save for Foggies investments being adversly affected.
“an be productive working from home” – wonder how long this will be for? Why not work in your pod …
Though long retired, I can understand those working from home want to remain so. However, when phoning customer services at utility services, or a large retail company, the efficiency is bloody dire. I know it was ever thus, but pre-pandemic if there was a question that couldn’t be answered, it was “hold on I will ask my supervisor” – now you’re lucky if the phone gets answered. Wonder where they are then, if there is no one in authority to check whether they’re at their home desk ! At least a look around the office can achieve a head count.
No wonder M & S are no longer selling suits. Perhaps they should concentrate on Japan, where no self respecting business person would be seen dead in anything but a suited and booted image.

Gen-Z? That’s my children (they’re still at school), the oldest Gen-Z would be about 24 now, the youngest 9.
I think you’re thinking about Millennials (born 82-97?) AKA ‘snowflakes’, that’s people currently around 25-40, a particularly useless and simultaneously mouthy and opinionated generation it has to be said (I blame their Boomer parents and teachers for telling them they can do and be anything they want, and that each of them is ‘unique and special’ – hence ‘snowflakes’).
Like most parents of Gen-Z, I’m Gen-X, and today we’re noted for our work ethic, strict parenting, and (increasingly) moderate right wing views and voting Tory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X
Please don’t follow the lazy BBC trope of assuming the youngsters currently leaving school (Gen-Z) are anything like the whinging, entitled Millennials (who are increasingly fronting the BBC) because I think you’ll find they tend to be very different in their outlook on life.
I’m Generation If-you’re-not-genius-level-to-go-to University-then-get-out-and-get-a-job. Well, that’s what my Mum said anyway. lol ! (and boy you HAD to be genius level to get to uni back then); and actually its a squeeze for us ‘boomers’ to be the parents of snowflakes – we’re more likely to be their grandparents !!! brought up with a clip around the ear, didn’t dare give teachers ‘lip’ and had to work for any money we wanted – our parents didn’t have food banks to fall back on – they knew how to cook !
My son is a senior teacher and the Union, UNITE’s purpose in life seems to be to cause as much disruption to pupils education and cost to the taxpayer as possible. Useless teachers are defended to the hilt and paid massive compensation together with non disclosure agreements enabling them to bugger up the next school.
Vast numbers of teachers are currently doing up their houses on sick leave with long Covid.
Flotsam, my children attend a ‘good’ comprehensive, which seems to have about half the staff in doing all the work (and genuinely getting worn out doing two people’s jobs) and the other half at home with ‘long term covid’.
My kids have pointed out one of those ‘long term covid’ invalids, whose too sick to go back to work, passing our front door on his daily run. Since then I’ve noticed him running around the local lanes rather a lot, and someone told me he was training for the local ‘half marathon’. Now call me skeptical, but…
Could be he’s a trot!

Watchin’ Boris in the Commons. Has anyone counted the number of apologies he has made for his criminal behaviour? It should be easy; he has apologised to every speaker.
Funny how a racist black just issues a quick apology and keeps her job, or assaults someone live on TV, like so many on the left it is always “lets move on” .
Unless you are a tory or right of centre or US republican then its pitchforks and torches and an endless witch hunt until you are cancelled and unemployed.
Emily Thornbury moonlighting?
Did Boris and the Tory Government realise just how zealously Covid restrictions would be enforced? They unleashed an army of jobsworths, curtain twitchers and hysterical neurotics who, in my opinion, took enforcement far further than was expected. Does anyone remember invthe very earliest days of the lockdowns, the couple walking their dog in the Peak District, being tracked by helicopter? The public sector, after all, loved Covid. Full pay and pension while “working” from home. They loved all the people extra powers too.
I think Boris never realised what he has unleashed and thought people would behave normally, like adults. Instead we had lockdown hysteria.
Not, perhaps, serving the credibility of science-based AGW reporting too well.
Unbelievable….

SAN FRANCISCO — Netflix suffered its first subscriber loss in more than a decade, causing its shares to plunge 25% in extended trading amid concerns that the pioneering streaming service may have already seen its best days.
The company’s customer base fell by 200,000 subscribers during the January-March period, according to its quarterly earnings report released Tuesday It’s the first time that Netflix’s subscribers have fallen since the streaming service became available throughout most of the world outside of China six years ago. The drop this year stemmed in part from Netflix’s decision to withdraw from Russia to protest the war against Ukraine, resulting in a loss of subscribers.
Perhaps thier are millions like me who have Netflix and turn off everytime a BME women soldier / police officer appears.
Its totally bonkers and woke beyond belief. Entertainment is no longer about entertaining its about message and that message unfortunately is extreme left.
I think its best summed up by the Brad Pitt film Ad Astra on getting to the moon he is introduced to the moons “Governer”…a southeast Asian lady in a Hijab…..I went for a walk.
