    So prize idiot Southgate was annoyed by children in Hungary booing when the ‘English ‘ football team took the knee. He said that he didn’t blame the children because they can be very easily led to do stupid things , or words to that effect. That was exactly my view when the Numpty footballers , police, Labour politicians etc , started taking the knee two years ago.

      Perhaps their NHS needs a Jim hacker style ‘ department of administrative affairs ‘ to preside over the admin people – fund it using money for training nurses and doctors … can then reduce the number of people using the NHS – cut the number of expensive hospitals as well ….

        – are you angling for a anychess consultancy gig?

        As I’ve said here before – and it bears repeating – the DoH shuttered a local NHS Trust literally overnight for being “not fit for purpose” and all evidence of its existence has nearly disappeared from the interwebs – local BMW, Audi and Merc salesmen remember it fondly.

          No – im still dreaming of a job as a ‘ diversity manager ‘ although being a white english male without the BLTGBH thing going on i think i will get paper sifted by the queer corrupt coloured folk doing the selecting …
          A nice £90 k PA one day a wekk gig working from home would suit me though …

    Jeeezus, the term ‘A’ lister used to mean top American film and Cabaret stars. Now, according to one commentator it means some long haired bloke who came 2nd in the Eurotrash song contest !

    No wonder the Queen stayed at home. Who the hell puts these “party concerts” together ?? I saw the line up and gave it pass. Like someone on GB News said, “who WERE these people ?” . Jason Donovan, dear God, the bloke who will do anything from advertise chocolate to eating grubs just to make a pay day. Like most on that show he’s not even talented.

    Agreed most that the Queen enjoyed have all died, but she loved Rogers & Hammerstein, and the Great American Song Book, so she gets instead some obscure rubbish acts singing pop songs only the under 20’s would know – apart from a couple of pensioners, who can’t carry a tune anymore. Farce.

      A previous king in waiting, George IV, then Prince Regent, was lampooned for the extravagance and architectural absurdity of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.

      Charles, our version, has the immense and utterly ludicrous anachronism of Poundbury, an 18th century treeless town plonked on the outskirts of Dorchester and still weighed down by a skyline full of builders’ cranes after 20 years.

      True, there is a quaint yet superficial charm to much of the town, but as an architectural indulgence it has no equal, as a social experiment it is like a post-apocalypse desert and as a legacy it perfectly encapsulates our king to be.

    The Sunday Mirror heads up the BBC’s online press line up this morning. The workaday version of the Mirror has noticably left off politics for the short interim (on the frontpage at least) and was happy enough to fly the Union flag and treat our Royals as the long-running real-time soap opera – which it is – and which most normal families are. Today the theme is a venerable old rock anthem: ‘Brian May kicks off Platinum Party at the Palace. Royal Rock ‘N’ Roll

    Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… one assumes the outspoken patriotic Steven Morrissey was unavailabe for the booking?

    In 2002, a host of iconic music legends and then-popular artists came together to perform at Buckingham Palace for a truly unique concert‘ (a rare guest appearance hereabouts for Smooth Radio, your relaxing music mix – love that phrase “then-popular” although they can now edit out the word unique) ‘Queen’s Brian May appeared on the roof of the Palace, performing ‘God Save the Queen‘ on electric guitar. Quite possibly the most British thing to happen ever.

    There’s a challenge! But there was more than a hint of déjà vu about Brian May mounting the Queen Victoria statue yesterday – apparently, these days, they can’t touch you for it. Lady Thatcher’s bronze just had to contend with a few eggs.

    Sorry, I simply have to relay again the story of the elderly lady taking her dead pair of pet monkeys to the taxidermist. Would you like them stuffed and mounted? No, just holding hands.

    I do apologise. Have we seen the first confirmed case of Long Monkey Pox yet?

    Old rock stars, eh? I suppose they tried to come up with something new and special – which is difficult – now that swathes of the ordinary British public have thrown their TV sets out of the window – at least metaphorically – or where the BBC is concerned.

    Most Sunday titles acknowledge the somewhat bizarre Royal link up with the Paddington Bear franchise: ‘Ma’am-alade your Majesty?‘ (Sunday Mail)

    The strange – but very important – link between Jeremy Clarkson and Paddington Bear… Shirley and Eddie Clarkson ran a small design business and made a prototype for the first Paddington stuffed bear in 1972. They gave it to Jeremy, who was 12 at the time, and his sister Joanna for Christmas. But there was an issue with the toy – it kept falling over. Their answer? To put Paddington Bear in wellington boots‘ (Mirror 2017)

    As of June 2016, the Paddington Bear franchise was owned by Vivendi’s StudioCanal. Bond, however, continued to own the publishing rights to his series, which was licensed to HarperCollins in April 2017 (two months before his death) for the next six years (up to 2023)‘ (a very rare appearance hereabouts for Press Books, Toronto Metropolitan University)

    I suppose all this Britishness beamed around the world does represent a fine advertisment to help attract visitors to the UK. Not that getting foreigners over here has ever proved to be much of an issue – our difficulty tends to be persuading them to go home again after their sojourn.

    Cleveland Clinic London, a new home for healthcare‘ takes out a pricey frontpage colour advert on the cover of the Sunday Telegraph. While their competition, Our NHS, seems designed to respond and to satisfy no one so much as the comfort of its payroll employees, the private sector meanwhile will expand to fill the demand: ‘Staying healthy takes time — and there never seems to be enough of it. At Cleveland Clinic London, we make it fast and simple to book an appointment with expert GPs and consultants. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available to fit your busy schedule… You don’t have to live in the U.K. to receive care from the renowned experts at Cleveland Clinic London. Our Global Patient Services team provides concierge-style services to international patients‘ – as does the NHS – even as the newly arrived stumble off the dinghies – except those chaps are not required to pay for treatment.

    Granny State, eh? ‘Thank you for being there for us, Mummy. Charles’s Jubilee tribute for the nation to Queen who “continues to make history”‘ (Sunday Express) – I’m reminded of that famous scene in Carry On Up The Khyber in which the Carry On team playing stiff-upper-lipped British Raj sit down to 3 o’clock tiffin regardless of the native rebels relentlessly bombarding their compound to destruction.

    The Observer provides the counter attack against all this rather momentary flag-waving Britishness elsewhere in the press – afterall, you start with Paddington Bear, Brian May and a bit of red white and blue bunting and, unchallenged, it could all end in fascism…

    A long weekend and a carnival of memory‘ – I’m reminded by the tone taken by our left-liberal media of Antony’s funeral oration over Caesar – according to Shakespeare: “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him” – translates to we’re happy to praise the Queen, but let’s bury Britain afterwards.

    Observer Comment: ‘Politics and trust. Britain was bouyant at the golden Jubilee. But this time the country urgently needs renewal‘ – not that two years of Covid-led lockdown might have demoralised the nation just a tad. Forget all that unpleasantness. But gosh, what could they mean? You’ll remember of course 2002 – Tony Blair was just getting busy with Devolution, putting Britain at the heart of europe, open borders, ramping up government spending on the never-never in hock to PFI etc etc.

    We’re the true party of patriotism, says Labour. “We’re standing up for British institutions”, Shadow minister points to booing of PM‘ – that’ll be Lucy Powell, Shadow Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport since 2021 – the BBC being an important part of her remit… standing up for British institutions… get it?

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10885319/British-public-overestimates-minority-groups-like-trans-gay-people-vegans-YouGov-poll-shows.html

    It’s what we on here have been pointing out for ages with the over representation of everything everywhere of ethnic/woke/pc and the leaving out of ordinary indigenous Brits.

    For example,
    Were the 3% fairly represented in last nights jubilee concert.
    There must have been a good 100 main performers on the stage so I hope there were at least 3 black artistes to give a fair representation of where we are in the make up of the UK population.
    Did you find at least 3?

    The comments are all pointing this out but I doubt that those with their hands on the levers of power care.

    I didn’t see the Queen/Paddington Bear marmalade thing but I hope they used the nostalgic Robertsons marmalade that I remember when I was growing up.
    All parts of it.

      Here’s how the BBC would spin that:

      Firstly, it would deny the actual figures, preferring to use the incorrect perceived ones as they more closely reflect the BBC Staff Canteen. Secondly, it would temporarily suspend its belief in intersectionality and declare that the categories cannot overlap e.g. it is not possible to be Asian and vegan/vegetarian simultaneously. Thirdly, it would then add up all the numbers and conclude that 112% of the population are therefore members of minority groups i.e. 5% transgender + 10% bisexual + 15% homosexual + 20% black + 15% Muslim + 17% Asian + 10% Jewish + 20% Vegan/vegetarian. From this it follows that only -12% of the population are not minorities e.g. White people, heterosexuals, Christians, meat eaters and so on. As they constitute a negative number, they therefore do not exist and can be ignored from BBC programming and news (sic) reporting. An expert in ethnomathematics* would be brought in to comment on the numbers and confirm that 2 + 2 does indeed equal 5.

      * Yes, it really is a thing. See https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/04/16/no-maths-is-not-racist/

        Younger readers may be unaware of Golliwog badges. As can be seen, dozens and dozens of occupations and roles were depicted: astronaut, golfer, doctor, butcher, sailor and so on. Many of them were issued in their millions. However, “Member of crowd supporting a Royal Event” is widely to be considered the very rarest of all.

    Lots of analysis by the BBC but they just happened to leave the most important bit out:

    Biden was warned it would be a big problem by the factory owners, but he decided it wouldn’t be so he didn’t do anything about it until the crisis hit.

    Just imagine if it was Trump.

    Another BBC lie by omission.

How the f-ck does she know what the Queen thinks about Boris…!!! The bint doesn’t know her arse from her elbow..cheap and nasty journalism from the BBC yet again.

    Then Raworth tries to blame the government about the problems at airports.. She then says to Shapp, ” the unions warned the government in January that these problems were going to happen”, he then replies well if the Unions knew about these issues in January, 5 months ago, why didn’t the airports sort it then…No response of course because as usual her arguments are constantly flawed and pathetic…

    Why in god’s name anybody from the government goes on the BBC is beyond me…..

    The BBC are genuinely going to a new level of bias. They are determined to get the scalp of Boris..

    I was just browsing ‘news’ on my phone and it had a story with a video of creepy Joe apparently making a clever quip at Elon Musk.

    Normally I don’t bother but I figured I’d check it and see how far Joe got before he lost the plot mid-sentence.

    So the journalist drones on with their question then Joe is on it with some enthusiasm. Odd I thought. Then – 10 words in and to my astonishment – he pulls out a crib-card and starts reading some figures in answer to the question.

    I didn’t care what he was going to say about Musk : it confirmed without any doubt that the entire thing is fake. The journalist was not selected at random and the question was known (and clearly approved) before the conference started.

    THAT was the big story for me and should be throught the media. The entire Presidency is fake. It’s all pre-scripted. There is no freedom of the press to ask the questions they should be asking. It’s North Korea dressed up like a TV show.

    And the media all keep quiet about it. Especially the BBC who regularly lie by omission to protect Joe. Because they think the ends (ie keep Trump out and the Left in power) justifies any and all means.

    The Democrats are the modern day Nazis and it’s the equivalent of the mid 1930’s. It’s fascism (the real definition, not the one the Left have changed so it only applies to the Right). There’s no other way to describe what is going on.

      It is astonishing that an exposed pathological liar has somehow retained enough credibility to function as any sort of politician let alone become POTUS. Even more amazing is the fact that the Washington Post is admitting that he has lied many times. Something very odd is afoot in the USA. The Democrats must have some manoeuvre up their sleeves to get rid of Biden .

    His polling and the later contribution of the gentleman with the Asian name show that Sir Keir Starmer is “almost as unpopular as the Prime Minister.” Wakefield will probably go to Labour as the pollster Johnson says they are 20 points head but the concensus is that it is the LibDems who are likely to make the Honiton by-election a close run thing. Funny that neither the pollsters nor the BBC said how popular Ed Davy of the Lib Dems is with the voters of Honiton. I wonder why?

    Brexit was again mentioned as many in the South-west of England voted Leave in June 2016.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – there’s wishful thinking and then there is hopeless wishful thinking like the BBC’s

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61664246 “There are now 28 Conservative MPs who have publicly called on Boris Johnson to step down over revelations of widespread Covid-rule breaking in Downing Street.” But unfortunately ten of them are keeping quiet about whether they have submitted letters of no confidence in the Prime Minister to Sir Graham Brady and calling for a vote. At best, the BBC can count on eighteen. Where did NaughtyNaughtie get the idea that there were sixty-seven letters in the 1922 Committee post-box?

    Just speculating to keep the HTSI well-stirred for the public? You know you cannot trust the BBC.

    They are stopping supplying Denmark who refuse to pay in Roubles and have stopped supplying other Countries for the same reason.

    Has anyone from the msm asked this question. I’ve not heard it if they have but if we are paying in Roubles what does that make us. If we are not paying in Roubles then why has Russia not stopped exporting to us.

    * I know we only import a relatively small amount.

      It occurs to me that the later part of the parade was a fitting representation of what has happened to the nation in the most recent decades.

      But I don’t think the wokists who planned it intended it that way. 😉

    Okay, ITV. I’m watching Wales v Ukraine. The commentator uses the phrase ‘soldier on’ and then issues a grovelling apology for using the word. Took me a minute to realise what he was talking about.

    Who on Earth is going to be offended by that?

    Oh, yes, I forgot. Those who ignore context, are insensitive to nuance, and strangers to common sense. There’s a lot of them about.

    Both local news progs have already had look back items this week about the Queen’s visit to the Mosque 20 years ago

    Today of course there was a roundup of footage from various Jubilee events .. and then suddenly there was a special 45 seconds with the Imam, not that there was any new Jubilee event to report, but rather for him to say that that the Queen’s visit made him and his congregation feel like they are regarded as people and not terrorists. Fair enough it’s patently obvious that 99% of Muslims are not terrorists .. I don’t this this special item was needed.

    Mrs Voter was watching the Bloated BBC today.
    1. Went onto text to see how England were getting on against New Zealand, clicks on cricket scores, first in line Pakistan Women v Sri Lankan women! England were 4th in line.
    2 Went on to watch the pageant( she’d recorded it, great to be able to fast forward at 30x), Kirsty Woke, pun intended goes on to introduce the line up of presenters taking up air space, first a Paki and a Black, next a gay Weatherman or whether he’s a tranny I don’t know, next a white woman and finally a lady in a wheelchair, so that’s 40% bame, 20% gay, 20% handicapped and the rest white. Did they even look at the make up of the crowd? I think not.
    3. Test match special introduced by a Paki female. It’s Mens cricket England at that.

    They can’t help themselves can they?
