I believe, in my opinion, that we have looked for greatness in the mundane. Trying to make everyone winners, means we all lose. Irony in the most profound sense.
Lets take a quick look at who is empowered in the world … this list is not exhaustive, but gives you a good indication of what the World’s political landscape looks like …
Canada Justin Trudeau sets World Record In avoiding questions – 18 Times – wastes everyone’s time in Parliament
We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men.
Mugabe (President of Zimbabwe since 1987) farts at summit (has also been found sleeping in Parliament, he was 89 years at the time, still holding onto power at 93)
Krystyna Pawlowicz, a Polish MP from the ruling Eurosceptic PiS party, has written a letter to Jean-Claude Juncker (President of the European Commission), accusing him of “alcohol dependency” … Juncker apparently took a nap in the Vatican during the celebration of the EU’s 60th anniversary
Diane Abbott (Shadow Home Secretary – UK Security) not read a major report (Harris Report) on London Attacks. Won her seat with 75% in GE2017.
Now go and read or watch some of these people …

Not wishing to be outdone by his fellow Marxist in the White House who is about to lift Title 42 thus enabling many more millions of “Refugees” into the US, our Boris will now be overseeing the importation of many hundreds of thousands of Rwandan’s into the UK. Judging by the assumed medical conditions of all in sundry will this herald the end of the NHS and of greater importance, the UK as a whole? It will certainly mean you moving many more steps back in the already long queue to see a specialist. I imagine our enemy, the Government, will think, ‘hopefully they will die before reaching the front of the queue’.
I wouldn’t worry half of Africa will be here in the UK by 2050, at the latest, and by 2100 the entire world will be a dystopian hellhole, where half a cockroach is a luxury meal.

Not a Tesla in sight.
The UN/EU have already redirected ‘refugees’ to Rwanda as part of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM).
The majority of these (67%) were from Niger, Egypt, Sudan and Chad. See here.
Is the global plan to ‘redirect’ them again (as the most ‘vulnerable’) to us under the terms of Priti’s agreement with Rwanda?

Amazon, which is the largest cloud provider, is notoriously secretive about the precise locations of its data centers. While a few are publicly tied to Amazon, this is the exception rather than the norm. More often, Amazon operates out of data centers owned by other companies with little indication that Amazon itself is based there too or runs its own data centers under less-identifiable subsidiaries such as VaData, Inc. In some cases, Amazon uses pseudonyms to obscure its presence. For example, at its IAD77 data center, the document states that “Amazon is known as ‘Vandalay Industries’ on badges and all correspondence with building manager”.

On Monday, Saudi Arabia celebrated the beheading of its 100th prisoner this year. The story was nowhere to be seen on Arab media despite the story’s circulation on wire services. Even international media was relatively mute about this milestone compared to what it might have been if it had concerned a different country. How does a story like this go unnoticed?
Today’s release of the WikiLeaks “Saudi Cables” from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs show how it’s done.
The oil-rich Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its ruling family take a systematic approach to maintaining the country’s positive image on the international stage. Most world governments engage in PR campaigns to fend off criticism and build relations in influential places. Saudi Arabia controls its image by monitoring media and buying loyalties from Australia to Canada and everywhere in between.
Documents reveal the extensive efforts to monitor and co-opt Arab media, making sure to correct any deviations in regional coverage of Saudi Arabia and Saudi-related matters. Saudi Arabia’s strategy for co-opting Arab media takes two forms, corresponding to the “carrot and stick” approach, referred to in the documents as “neutralisation” and “containment”. The approach is customised depending on the market and the media in question.
“Contain” and “Neutralise”
The initial reaction to any negative coverage in the regional media is to “neutralise” it. The term is used frequently in the cables and it pertains to individual journalists and media institutions whose silence and co-operation has been bought. “Neutralised” journalists and media institutions are not expected to praise and defend the Kingdom, only to refrain from publishing news that reflects negatively on the Kingdom, or any criticism of its policies. The “containment” approach is used when a more active propaganda effort is required. Journalists and media institutions relied upon for “containment” are expected not only to sing the Kingdom’s praises, but to lead attacks on any party that dares to air criticisms of the powerful Gulf state.
One of the ways “neutralisation” and “containment” are ensured is by purchasing hundreds or thousands of subscriptions in targeted publications. These publications are then expected to return the favour by becoming an “asset” in the Kingdom’s propaganda strategy. A document listing the subscriptions that needed renewal by 1 January 2010 details a series of contributory sums meant for two dozen publications in Damascus, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Kuwait, Amman and Nouakchott. The sums range from $500 to 9,750 Kuwaiti Dinars ($33,000). The Kingdom effectively buys reverse “shares” in the media outlets, where the cash “dividends” flow the opposite way, from the shareholder to the media outlet. In return Saudi Arabia gets political “dividends” – an obliging press.
https://wikileaks.org/saudi-cables/buying-silence
People here can tell you why. It’s so they don’t have to pay a ha’penny every decade, and they say that if Saudi is prepared to pay our poorly paid politicians then they are fully prepared to put up with the consequences.
Unfortunately this is not true because they constantly moan about the consequences such as Islamisation, gang rapes, Islamic Jihad, but when presented with the alternative go straight backto “islam is best”.
And so here you are yet again outlining the consequences of poor pay and the inevitable corruption that results. Make your mind up as to what is the right course, stop this by paying politicians realistic amounts, or resign yourself to never ending Saudi dominance.
“pay our poorly paid politicians” – working to make your country great?

Thoughtful runs a constant campaign on this site to pay politicians more … thoughtful has never admitted or denied a personal financial interest in more money for politicians .
I think it’s time thoughtful declared .
I say – there is never a shortage of politicians – of any type or level of corruption – their msy be one or two actually interested in the well being of constituents – particularly the taxpayer version – but these are truly exceptional . The rest are overpaid self serving rubbish of differing brands .
Just look at what they have done to Britain .
I have no interest other than the elimination of corruption in high office.
There is never a shortage of politicians because they know they can get their snouts into the Saudi trough, and that’s the whole point!
Winston Churchill paid the equivalent of £500K pa you would now tell us that he was paid three times too much and we could have surrendered to Germany for a third the cost of a Prime Minister.
You and I both see the absolute dross in parliament, people who have failed in life but see politics as a career, I say we pay more than the lowest possible amount, stop the corruption, and get some talent in office, you say pay the least amount possible, alow corruption to flourish and accept the dearth of talent on offer.
If it was payment by results I have to say Johnson would be paying us, but when a succesful footsie 100 director can earn an average of £3 million a year, and the highest at close to £16 million it gives you some idea of the gulf between rewards in business and politics.
“stop this by paying politicians realistic amounts” – how much would you say would be good for a politician? Performance based?

UK border checks branded ‘shambolic’
May Bulman
Social Affairs Correspondent
Thursday 29 March 2018
That’s the civil service and their bosses are paid more than the Prime Minister who isn’t paid much at all.
“Poorly paid politicians”?!
I’d do quite a few things I wasn’t proud of for £82K +VERY GENEROUS expenses ++++ pa… double it and I’d do even worse things… just saying.
Look, I’m a very highly qualified engineer, in a specialist field, with 30 years experience, at the top of my game and sought after. Honestly, I’m not badly paid compared to many, but I’ll never make anything like £80K – not in the UK anyway, the US, Germany, Aus, a dozen other countries, yes, but here… never.
What do you think people earn? I mean real people, doing real jobs, not those with family money and BBC ‘celebs’?!
Incompetant – definitely! Corrupt – most certainly! Criminal – I suspect in many cases, absolutely! But, underpaid – no, never.
Just interested to know what a good wage would be to stop them betraying their country and constituents.
In that case you are doing something wrong! A friends son not too long out of uni in a provincial area, an engineer working in construction is earning more than £80K – not London provincial, he’s barely in his 30’s !
I knew I US engineer speciaising in the extraction of oil from shale who earned over $1 million a year and that was a couple of decades ago, and I have also known MPs back in the days of Margaret Thatcher, and how they had to leave their families to travel to London, to live in a pokey flat because it’s all the expenses would run to, and come home and start working immediately the door close behind them.
A departmental head in a secondary school makes more than an MP now, and the head more than the Prime Minister, and when that happens something has gone very wrong with the pay.

The cables reveal that the government employs a different approach for its own domestic media. There, a wave of the Royal hand is all that is required to adjust the output of state-controlled media. A complaint from former Lebanese Prime Minister and Saudi citizen Saad Hariri concerning articles critical of him in the Saudi-owned Al-Hayat and Asharq Al-Awsat newspapers prompted a directive to “stop these type of articles” from the Foreign Ministry.
This is a general overview of the Saudi Foreign Ministry’s strategy in dealing with the media. WikiLeaks’ Saudi Cables contain numerous other examples that form an indictment of both the Kingdom and the state of the media globally.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears to have been outed as not caring
one whit about your privacy – a jarring admission, considering how much
of our personal data Facebook owns, not to mention its plans to become
the web’s central repository for our preferences and predilections.
Also interesting is how this came about: Not in a proper article, but in
a Tweet by Nick Bilton, lead technology blogger for the New York Times`
Bits Blog, based on a conversation he says was “off the record” and
which he may have confused with “not for attribution.”
“Off record chat w/ Facebook employee,” begins Bilton’s fateful tweet.
“Me: How does Zuck feel about privacy? Response: [laughter] He doesn’t
believe in it.”
Ouch.
Zuckerberg’s apparent disregard for your privacy is probably not reason
enough to delete your Facebook account.

Some have compared the prime minister’s party fine to nothing worse than a parking penalty. Well, he racked up plenty of those working for me, writes a former editor of GQ
Dylan Jones
Saturday April 23 2022, 6.00pm, The Sunday Times
Ihired Boris Johnson to be my motoring correspondent in May 1999. I took him to Le Caprice for lunch and offered him £1 a word for a monthly 1,000-word column in the magazine I’d just become editor of, GQ. We sat at the corner table, the one Princess Diana always used to have, and as Boris furiously made his way through the bang bang chicken, he accepted like a shot.
“What a wizard idea,” he said, looking, rather alarmingly, like Doc Brown from the Back to the Future films. “This is going to be a lot of tremendous fun.”

We are living through a massive left wing lies and distortion period. A thing that the BBC support with all their heart. The left wing have never before had any serious power, the only time they thought they did was back in the days when they could tout the abysmal Harold Wilson or the equally awful Callaghan.
A brief and disastrous combo of Blair and Brown followed.
The public saw through that and booted them out.
So BBC don’t get too excited about a party or two or a bit of cake bringing back a public appetite for another socialist leader.
They have all proved their total inability to do anything good for this country.
Sigh …
Digg,
Problem is, is the long period between the public recognising the problem and, booting them out. Look no further than the damage being wreaked by the Dems in the US. How ever Trump can reverse that, I have no idea. Same here, Billy Bunter has proven himself contemptuous of the public/voter and / or any Manifesto. While he is in place he can continue the chaos in the knowledge that it can never be unravelled in the future.
The other main problem is, the UK is stuck in the two-party system. Forever playing ping-pong.

Scottish Government
The Confucius Institute for Scotland was fortunate to receive the support of the Scottish Government when first established in 2007. The establishment of the Institute chimed with the ambition of the Scottish Government to develop more strategic engagement with China. Since 2008 the Scottish Government has evolved and updated its Plan for Engagement with China. The Institute’s focus on education, business and culture is helping to deliver the ambition for Scotland expressed in the current 5 year plan while the increase in the number of Institutes in Scotland to five means that Scotland has one of the highest densities of Confucius Institutes in the world.

Anne Lister AKA Gentleman Jack. A contrived early 1800 lesbian from Halifax.
Lots of Anne Lister memorabilia in Halifax which has a thin layer of dust on it.
Obviously the town has tried to cash in on her notoriety but I think the interest in her exploits is hovering around zero, that isn’t to say that you don’t get the occasional flock of lesbians hanging around her statue.
However what the BBC fail to tell you is that her fortune was made from coal. That’s right the fossil fuel responsible for (cough) global warming.
Her fortune would also have been made using child labour (under 10 not banned from working underground till 1842) . However as these were white children it just doesn’t bloody well matter.
So a child labour exploiting fossil fuel burning hero of the BBC isn’t really the person they want us to believe she is.
And finally she was buried in Georgia.
So please visit the Piece Hall in Halifax an amazing venue for a Sunday Afternoon stroll oh and visit Anne’s House at Shibden Hall it’s almost certain not to be busy.
I’d like to see the statistics for road rage and bad driving for BAMES.
Three times now in the last few months have been victim to this, two asian young males and yesterday a black in dreadlocks.
All while driving my wifes car which has “sport” written on it and twin tailpipes which they seem to see as a challenge to overtake as quickly as possible.
Both asians tried to undertake me as I was overtaking in the fast lane nearly causing a bad collision as I had to brake sharply as they swerved around me, one shouting abuse, the other in a tiny little 1 litre car with smoke pouring out of it as it did not have sufficient power but he HAD to prove he could go faster.
Yesterday the black one pulled up behind me in the fast lane flashing his lights at me continually for around twenty seconds as I overtook a queue of slower lorries (he must have been doing around 100 mph and had to slow down a bit because of me) then as I pulled into the inner lane the gobshite pulls alongside, winds window down and starts shouting abuse.
Wife got photo of the car as it drove of at ridiculous speed but no point reporting I think. It will be “lack of evidence” I am sure.
Victims of racism this lot ? in my experience above many are bloody aggressive criminals, God I’d hate to be the police who know this only too well yet have to deal with constant whinges from all around them when trying to protect others from their aggression.
Zephir, re BAME driving, I agree. But not just by going too fast. They can go too slow in the wrong lane as well. I drive round the M25 for hours most weeks. They seem to not know the British rules of the road. You can almost guarantee that if you see a car ahead sitting in an outside lane causing huge queues behind it by going slowly when there is no traffic at all in the two or three lanes on its left, that It will be being driven by a BAME. They must be following the driving rules from their country of origin.
Yes I have seen many cases of this also, but at least one can avoid these, unlike the animal yesterday.
Had my wife in the passenger seat witness this scumbag’s behaviour.
Walking along a High Road in north London can be a taking your life in your hands experience. You hear a terrific roar and then often undertaking other traffic a small Peugeot or something of that ilk flashes by. Pedestrians, not only crossing their road itself, but side roads, are put in danger. I am not talking midnight but 11 am. And the drivers are always Asian. Don’t even think of imposing a 20mph speed limit because the rest of the traffic would like to reach it.
If we book a taxi we specify it must be a lady driver, the local firm has several ladies on its books and are happy to oblige. We live out in the country and there aren’t many Asian taxi drivers round here unlike in the cities or towns but asking for a lady ensures we don’t get one.
I asked one our lady drivers why in the towns there seemed to be only Asian taxi drivers. She said hardly any of them had UK driving licenses but had international ones issued in Pakistan and sent by post to the driver. No driving test required. She also mentioned them having ‘family insurance’ at cut price.

The future? Expect to be spat upon in any altercation and likely worse. Best bit is, the Brit’s endure this behaviour meekly. Rotherham came and went with not much more than a whimper. That was the landmark stage for the Utopian / Marxists. Upshot of that, the inevitable, “Investigation” soon followed by, “Lessons will be learnt”. Until there is some sort of uprising nothing will change on the road to total chaos.

Excellent piece on FOX news earlier this week talking about a 20% Increase in casualties in the Black community in the US relating to motor vehicle accidents.
Basically it was put down to the police backing off stopping Black motorists due to the repercussions.
Obviously the left argued otherwise as you would expect.
Halifax, if I’m not mistaken, we’re headed here for an abstention with Stop & Search. All the pressure is on to that end again. That didn’t turn out too well last time. Problem is, the same Marxists will hope that the public will be more prepared to put up with the crime this time round.
Let them get on with it …not worth the effort .
Can anybody imagine the BBC doing a piece like that?
Hi Halifax,

Just in case readers are in any doubt, the BBC are ceaselessly reporting that the French presidential election is between Emmanuel Macron and Far Right Marine le Pen.
Got that? Far Right. Far Right.
The BBC are totally unable to call her Marine le Pen.
I just can’t think why.
Not Manny The Right Hook, Scourge of Illegal Immigrants?

Let the middle class darlings live alongside those they admire so much in their inner city ghettos for a couple of months.
In fact would make a good documentary or quiz show competition see who gets stabbed. addicted to crack, sexually assaulted and mugged the most.
Winner gets six months therapy.
“Crack House takes the listener into the dark heart of our cities’ most violent and terrifying places, showing how the war on drugs can only be won by constant and forceful vigilance. The bastard offspring of cocaine, crack first entered the UK in the early 1990s. By the end of the decade, Britain’s inner cities were in the midst of a crack epidemic, with users being responsible for a massive proportion of crime. Communities, especially in London, were crying out for help, but there were only two specialist units in the whole of the capital.
One of them, Haringey Drugs Squad, embarked on a war on crack, aiming to shut down all 100 crack houses in their borough in one year. Amazingly, they did it. Even more amazingly, in the subsequent 12 months all black-on-black killings in Haringey ceased, and burglaries and muggings fell massively.
In Crack House, Harry Keeble describes in heart-stopping fashion the raids and arrests, as well as the beatings, stabbings, and shootings he witnessed as leader of the Haringey Drugs Squad and their war on drugs.”

Interesting and wrong interpretation of ‘woke ‘.
Not really thought about a drafted definition but it must include ;
the cancer of virtue signalling
the view that stuff must be prohibited if it even remotely causes offence to just one person / nutter .
It must be inclusive ( whatever that means )
it must be diverse ( whatever that means )
It must deny the value of certain religious beliefs – but not others
It must deny history
It must deny the legitimacy of certain nations – or all nations – in favour of supranational organisations
All must be ‘approved ‘
The unapproved must be dealt with ….
It cannot be ‘popular’ – populism is unapproved
It cannot be Right

Watching “Homes by the sea” or something like that.
Both couples I watched were fairly affluent middle-aged white people from London.
One wanted a second home in Cornwall to escape from London.
(I have strong views on wealthy people using their London high-priced equity to dislodge Cornish locals from the best properties by pricing them out of the homes market but will leave that for now as it would contain a lot of foul language and it’s Sunday!)
The other couple wanted to move to the coast in Kent. When asked why she wanted to move out of London this lady actually said. “I want to wake up to the sound of seagulls instead of police sirens”.
I think a lot more of this to come thanks to devious idiots like Khan…..
Or maybe that’s the grand plan, simply empty London of white people by making it a horrible place for them to live, thus turning the capital into another Country if not an ethnic getto?

So, when is Nigeria, Senegal and Gambia going to apologise for slavery ?
Records from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, directed by historian David Eltis at Emory University, show that the majority of captives brought to the U.S. came from Senegal, Gambia, Congo and eastern Nigeria. Europeans oversaw this brutal traffic in human cargo, but they had many local collaborators. “The organization of the slave trade was structured to have the Europeans stay along the coast lines, relying on African middlemen and merchants to bring the slaves to them,” said Toyin Falola, a Nigerian professor of African studies at the University of Texas at Austin. “The Europeans couldn’t have gone into the interior to get the slaves themselves.”
The anguished debate over slavery in the U.S. is often silent on the role that Africans played. That silence is echoed in many African countries, where there is hardly any national discussion or acknowledgment of the issue. From nursery school through university in Nigeria, I was taught about great African cultures and conquerors of times past but not about African involvement in the slave trade.
But there are other, less discussed chapters of our history. When I was growing up, my father Chukwuma Nwaubani spoke glowingly of my great-grandfather, Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku, a chief among our Igbo ethnic group who sold slaves in the 19th century. “He was respected by everyone around,” he said. “Even the white people respected him.” From the 16th to the 19th centuries, an estimated 1.4 million Igbo people were transported across the Atlantic as slaves.
“We speak of it in whispers,” said Yunus Mohammed Rafiq, a 44-year-old professor of anthropology from Tanzania who now teaches at New York University’s center in Shanghai. In the 19th century, Mr. Rafiq’s great-great-great-grandfather, Mwarukere, from the Segeju ethnic group, raided villages in Tanzania’s hinterland, sold the majority of his captives to the Arab merchants who supplied Europeans and kept the rest as laborers on his own coconut plantations.

Want to test that in a referendum to see how many are “persuaded” ?
And are we “persuaded” that present levels of immigration from third world countries alongside illegal asylum seekers is a “good thing” ?

On a Sunday when the Daily Star jokes about their: ‘Intergalactic exclusive… ET go home… Mum Sacha Christie lives in fear after NINE scary encounters with extraterrestrials. She’s terrified to go out in case aliens swoop to abduct her‘ – at least she’s not scared of the Chinese virus.
We land on the BBC online news page where we find there’s not so much as a brief encounter of the first, second, or third kind with any conservative-leaning politics. The wall-to-wall pro-left bias is now at the level of parody.
BBC: ‘French vote as Macron aims to beat far-right Le Pen‘ – no parity of views there, then.

“I never did see the point of coming out. A good friend of mine, Rodney, took me along to the pop-up municipal vaccination centre in the car park of the Victoria Road Waitrose in Camden, where I live. Though neither of us quite knew where to go we realised we must be nearing the correct location as we noticed large numbers of the elderly shuffling along the pavement with their carers – all on the same errand. This was obviously a serious mission for the OAPs as one noted the unusual lack of general chuntering. Everything went swimmingly, although I questioned the logic of Rodney and I having to have our jabs separately. Since we’re isolating together it seemed only sensible for us to at least have our post-vaccination tea and biscuits in the same canvas-tented assembly area. In case you were wondering – slightly past their best generic unbraded custard creams – I’d have perfered a good ginger yorkshire parkin biscuit. Parkins would have been appropriate given our location. I wasn’t left absolutely alone. A nice Zimbabwean yellow-vested security chap in a transparant plastic full-face mask came up and asked me how I was – he must have recognised me off the telly, as he voluteered to lend me his mobile phone to call Mother. I told him don’t bother. She’s bound to say I can only talk to you for five minutes because I’ve got Mrs Arkwright from number 42 coming round so we can watch John Nettles in Bergerac together….“

Sometimes you have to go abroad to get the real news such as this from India proving that Europe is doing dirty deals with Russia in order to import Russian oil, and the lengths they are going to in order to cover it up.
This is a major scandal, except the media won’t break the story because it would impact really badly on the EU and especially the country which runs it, Germany.
Also, the EU did not fully stop arms sales to Russia until 8 April 2022.

Nato to bomb Nord Stream #1 to end the war.
Friday’s Look North local news had an item on the nodding Donkey oil field sites that have been producing oil for years
“Oil company appeals” is not really news, cos for each tiny stage of the process a handful of anti-oil extremists stick in an objection, the cowardly local councillors always cave in, so then there is an appeal an eventually the government overrules the objections
Presenter ” Egdon resources is appealing to the government after having plans to drill 2 wells rejected to Lincolnshire
it says with bills climbing we need to think again about how/where Britain’s energy comes from”
Greenpeace must have lent a hand in the preprepared package by local reporter Harry
It features scary music, clever for split screens of green doom graphics ..with a polar bear bottom right at one stage
“the future of the planet is hanging in the balance
the UN says it’s now or never to reverse climate change”
and that decision rest now partially in the hands of local politicians deciding where the oil drilling can go ahead
Here in Lincolnshire oil has been pumped out of this well at Park Springs in Gainsborough for decades the oilfield underneath produces 1000 bells per day”
The animated on the scene reporter continues
“but the balance of public opinion is swinging against this type of wells (is it ?)
…
Here in Gainsborough people are used to them they have been here decades
but in North Kelsey in the Lincolnshire Wolds it couldn’t be a more different story”
Activist ” it’s an absolutely crazy idea that we should be contemplating new oil exploration”
“anywhere let alone here in the wonderful Lincolnshire countryside these oils Wells produce miniscule amounts of oil They predicted that hear it could be as little as 50 barrels/ a day and that’s not going to make a difference to global prices”
That’s a strawman no one is saying UK oil makes pump prices cheaper ..the government collects extra mining tax and still keeps the petrol pump prices high.
UK oil pays UK tax and gives us resistance against global price rises.
“the world consumes 4.4 billion barrels a day
reporter the war in Ukraine has bought the situation to focus energy prices have risen in part because of sanction prices policies on Russia we are often feeling the pinch”
The report was much longer
I did quote all ..including the oil company’s reply
The BBC then does double/triple dipping
cos having used the item on Friday
It re-used the same item (with the polar bears edited out , coincidentally after I complained) in the 10am Sunday Politics North show along with a windfarm item
to make a Fuels of the Future item

“Zelensky threatened to pull Ukraine out of peace talks if his enemy kills any of the last remaining defenders in Mariupol, or if Russia holds an independence referendum in the occupied city of Kherson”

And they make it sound like Zelensky has the upper hand.
One of the Sunday rags reports on the demise of ‘dateline London’ – feature which has been running on BBC news for 25 years – apparently .
It describes the type who appear on it – including ‘approved’ right wingers like Janet daly who will obey the woke rules for the fee – otherwise it seemed like the usual approved global liberals going through a weekly ritual ….
…the BBC appears to be deploying the ‘institution ‘ defence – in the terms that because the BBC has been around so long 100 this year – it is an ‘institution ‘ and -like the NHS – can neither be criticised or touched or ended. ( see the j daly column I put up earlier in this thread ) .
‘Dateline London’ appears to now be an ‘institution’ and cannot be ended . It would be interesting to know how many people watched it . Id not heard of it. Methinks it wont be missed .
When criticised – the BBC tries to revert to ‘aunty’ – that kind old reliable relative we all rely on . But surely such a description is sexist now ? – in woke world and May be ‘offensive ‘ and deserves to be ‘cancelled’ as a result ?
The BBC will be popping the champagne when macron wins in France – far right vanquished- the perfect start to a week – or maybe something else happens ….
…or is it a Biden fix ?
Fed
deploying the ‘institution ‘ defence
Yes. Even Daley’s critical (supposedly) piece you posted yesterday smacked of this. She referred to the bBC and NHS as “monumental national establishments.” She is American so we might forgive her – but the trouble is that all our MPs seem to have the same mindset.
Religion – Clap for Our Carers, also known as Clap for Carers, Clap for the NHS, Clap for Key Workers or Clap for Heroes, was a social movement created as a gesture of appreciation for the workers of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) and other key workers during the global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which spread to the United Kingdom in January 2020.
Island
I think that ‘institution ‘ thing will be a BBC theme throughout this year as they try to build defences in the run up to charter negotiations ….
… trying to work out a timetable for ending the BBC charter and switching the Output to subscription is tricky due to the election due a couple of years before the charter ends .
Nut nut might as well declare war on the BBC as he cannot get any worse treatment – any ‘reporting ‘ has now been replaced by personal campaigning to get rid of him on behalf of the Labour wing of the BBC .
They know that the nut nut brand still has strong resonance with the average punter which no one else has .
People want to be ‘entertained ‘ so the current news thing going on about angee the ‘scums’ legs just adds to that – particularly when the sour mysogeny thing gets thrown around ….

Fed, I confess to watching Dateline London from the beginning, and many years hence. Always interesting to get the view of overseas journos based here and their reporting back to their homeland. I’m surprised you’d never heard of it.
However, yes, in recent years there appeared to be an ‘agenda’ set by the hosting presenter, so I did start to watch less and less.
Brissles
I’m not really one for Daytime TV and certainly not anything with BBC attached to it . I know the tune too well and don’t want to hear it . The dateline thing will run until September and be replaced by something even more ‘approved ‘….
…. Tomorrow night TALKTV starts – it’s on freebies 217 . I wonder how unapproved – how ungroup thinked it will be ?
Looking at the line up there is Daisy McAndrew ( ex ITV ?- woke ) piers Morgan ( yawn – proven liar ) Juliet Hartley brewer ( now lefty ) Mike Graham’( LBC ?)jeremy Kyle ( lie detector test or suicide ?)
I don’t think it will be for me but it will be interesting how close to being unapproved it will be – BBCOFCOM wise and whether the presentation is as shambolic as GBNews

Dear Winston Smith,
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.
“Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences.

Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Eternal God, will rout you out.
Andrew Jackson

Its subliminal.

Saudi Arabia’s religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
In a rare criticism of the kingdom’s powerful “mutaween” police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.
About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.
