The BBCs shock over the loss of Twitter to ‘unapproved ‘ forces threatening to bring freedom and a diversity of views continues —and might well continue for some time to come – nice – isn’t it ?

      1978 … “Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978

      2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012

      2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015

      Jeff Bezos is accused of being a climate hypocrite for lecturing COP26 about cutting emissions and how going to space made him realise ‘how thin the globe’s atmosphere’ is after flying in on his £48million private jet
      Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos said going to space made him realise ‘how thin the globe’s atmosphere is’
      Mr Bezos stressed the importance of environmentalism to Boris Johnson , Joe Biden and other leaders
      He said: ‘I was told that seeing the Earth from space changes the lens through which you see the world’
      Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East, was among Mr Bezos’s critics today, calling him a ‘hypocrite’
      US Republican Lavern Spicer said: ‘While you’re busy at home turning off lights and keeping your thermostat down, Jeff Bezos’s $65m Gulf Stream just lead a parade of 400 private jets into COP26’

    And 95% are white.

    Another video about how spending money to virtue signal “We Support Ukraine” does nothing to help Britain’s poor
    .. https://youtu.be/1b8S-Czh1o0

    I kinda disagree, showing support for Ukraine should dampen down Putin, otherwise oil/gas prices might be rising even higher.

    Interesting how the knee jerk reaction to two year MOTs
    is a claim that people will die in accidents.
    .. A lot of the neighbour have camper vans which don’t actually do much mileage in a year.

    Surely these days the vehicles own computer should be able to figure out when the next service should be done .
    That might be based on mileage, but would also take into account if the vehicle had been standing still for 6 month are therefore needing a good check.

    That issue come up in the new WGAP video that summarises a few news stories
    That also includes, the banning of a children’s book due to Islamphobia.

      “Polish energy minister says here that Poland has substantial reserves and gas will keep flowing to homes.”
      Poland and Bulgaria are not now super dependent on Russian gas cos it is almost summer now
      Azerbaijan gas is due soon.
      Though of course Putin will try to influence that.

      Germany needs gas for factories.

    The “Black children over-policed in schools” piece on the BBC website includes this quote: “Black girls…tend to be perceived as being loud, as being aggressive and as being hyper-resilient.”
    Implication: Black girls are none of these things. It is Whitey’s perceptions that are the cause of all the trouble.

    Later on we come to a part about percentages. Black children, they say, are three times more likely to be strip-searched than white children although they they make up only one in five of the population of schoolchildren.
    Implication: Clear evidence of racism.

    Avid students of my posts like Maxincony will forgive me if I again point out the error these BBC chumps continually make. The proper baseline for establishing if there is any racist element in strip-searching is the percentage of black children being arrested for crimes, NOT the percentage of black children in the school population.

    I see this fundamental error made over and over again in relation to blacks and crime. And the wrong conclusion drawn every time.

    The truth is that blacks on average are less intelligent than whites, more impulsive, more aggressive and more VIOLENT. All the statistics show this. But the BBC never present this information properly.

      So, there is a failing dancing Gestapo head, and she gets more in retirement than the (admittedly failing PM) and you still think he’s adequately paid?

        So what’s the solution?
        Pay the failing PM more ?
        Or reduce her renumeration ?

        Basically proves that paying huge sums to whatever position does not mean we get the best .

    Death by Conspiracy?

    Released On: 21 Feb 2022Available for over a year
    Gary Matthews was into conspiracy theories – until he caught Covid and died. What role did falsehoods play in his death? BBC disinformation reporter Marianna Spring investigates.
    Gary was a talented artist and photographer, sociable and well-liked – a familiar face in his hometown of Shrewsbury. A few years ago, his friends noticed that he was getting into conspiracy theories. Like millions of others, he fell for Covid pseudoscience when the pandemic hit. In January 2021, at the age of 46, Gary caught the virus, and died.
    Marianna Spring, the BBC’s specialist disinformation reporter, travels to the serene medieval Shropshire town that Gary Matthews called home to investigate what happened to him – and why. While delving into the conspiracy underbelly of this picturesque town, she finds out more about Gary’s life – and discovers a story that’s been repeated across the country, and around the world.

    In 2017 LIberty used the magic words “We’ll be making Green-Steel if you let us buy Tata UK”
    ..Politicians threw money at them
    Liberty only picked up some bits of the steel industry

    Now Serious Fraud Office In London/Paris have been doing serious raids.
    “The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) have raided all of Liberty Steel’s offices in the UK after French police did the same in Paris on Tuesday.
    It won’t be long until Nicola Sturgeons in front of them on why she gave them £568m & a 114 acre hunting estate”

    TWatO Watch #1 – partygate? what partygate? sexual harrassment? what sexual harrassment?

    Jonny ‘dis conn ected’ Dymond was in charge as the Montacutie ‘doesn’t do Fridays’. New nickname for the Montacutie: Happy Mondays? Apart from a brief mention at the beginning of the programme, almost as an extension of the 1 p.m. News, the fact that the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party was at a Party during Lockdown1 (other Lockdowns are available) and the fact that the same Deputy Leader of the Labour Party has boasted to colleagues of sexually harrassing the Prime Minister was not really important to the BBC.

    It was on to the next item in a loud voice with the President of the British Virgin Islands in big trouble – under arrest in the USA – and it was all the fault of the present Conservative Government, says a helpful Labour Peer on the, ever-helpful to the Labour Party, BBC.

    Now there’s a thing!

    BBC News

    They were obsessed with all things party – but now that there are serious allegations about the labour leader and deputy and dodgy dealing by plod and their labour boss … it doesn’t get a mention …
    ……….maybe it’s co incidental to local elections …. And plain far left bias …

    Actually – it got 30 seconds 20 minutes in – no koonsberg – no journo outside the crime scene – no labour / Tory mp saying stuff … strangely not important …. Not even a ‘resignation ‘thing …

      So if they were all partying did they realise there was no virus and nothing to worry about? Johnson was supposedly on deaths door after being ‘infected’ yet 3 weeks later he’s partying like 1999. Welcome to the new normal.

        At 13, surely they could just be a ‘late developer’. Have probably said before, my sister was a tom boy, and at 12/13/14 would have happily said ‘yes’ to a magic wand being waved, and being turned into a boy… then she got to 15/16 puberty happened, she discovered boys, and dresses and make up… and hey, she’s a happily married woman with grown up children now.

        Moral of the story? Leave the kids alone you sick pervs!

    Covid trend by Zoe modelling
    ..It peaked 3 week into March
    The stats are still booking 200/deaths per day
    but to me they do seem to be old people who happened to have tested positive within 28 day of death which involved other bigger factors.

      Why is it since March 2020 viruses simply never go away? They used to be seasonal in the good old days. Now they simply mutate and kill people. The even stranger thing is, I haven’t met anyone who has died from this ‘virus’ over the last 25 months. This really is a new normal type of plague.

    Another great show from Mark Steyn last night.
    Apparently he is being ‘investigated’ by OfCom but he hasn’t been told why. I think we know the answer to that.

      Theisland – I’ve taken to recording Steyn to get to the main bits easier . The discussion about the puritan Anglo Saxon origins of wokism provoked a bit of thought – together with the need for an ever increasing State to adjudicate over the superiority of particular groups against each other –

      – eg queers v Muslims – …. And that there is no ‘nation ‘ now that different groups are loyal to other things …. But not the country in which they live ( Ukraine – goes against that grain )

      …must have upset a lot of woke kidults seeing the men go off to fight and the women / kids seeking safety – …

        My missus is in the middle of all that, she’s really not that bothered – I think I’m more concerned than she is, she doesn’t want to tell the kids, and really finds women she works with who make a big fuss about it annoying – apparently, it’s ALL they talk about, which does sound incredibly dull, I have to admit.

    The BBC failing to even mention the allegations against Labour for covid “partying” transgressions tells us all what we suspected all along.

    They are simply the labour PR department.
