@Taffman yes I think TV does that all the time
When we see something extraordinary on TV, the reality we get is not real world reality.
They go out and film 500 minutes then come back and edit it down to 3 minutes and then it makes an extraordinary item in Attenborough or the news etc.
Mr Gove is going to change the law so that landlords cannot forbid their tenants from keeping pets, so soon these left wing hypocrites will have no excuse, they can all take a pet refugee home with them.
Seriously, their responses are so instructive. None of them want an unknown stranger living with them, but they are happy for them to be put in someone else’s neighbourhood. Leftists are the most hypocritical scum ever invented.
GB News the other day had on someone who was a Rwandan, and proud of his country. What message does it send to people like him, that his country isn’t good enough for the people who have escaped the dangerous country known as France? Perhaps interviewers could ask the Archbishop, the Prince and the Labour Party what they have against Rwanda.
I wonder if our bloated overseas budget is paying for the Rwandans to do the processing!
If so, it’s a win-win situation for everyone – we don’t have to have illegals here, the Rwandans get a wedge for their trouble, (one which was put aside originally), and our ‘hard-working’ cervical serpents all ‘working’ from home and with mental problems have to spend time doing some actual work on other issues!

I think it was mentioned on the previous thread but it would appear that Gordon Brown was all over the papers this weekend. The Saturday Telegraph colour supplement had Gordonâs photo on the cover put through a very kind filter. I understand he was all over The Times too. The Daily Mail on line had an article about him. He may have been on the BBC too but I have avoided it all weekend. He doesnât seem to have written a book. I just have to ask why?
Yes multiple tweets from multiple media outlets
indicates to me that of course “Gordon Brown say” is not news
Rather seems like big PR people are doing a big project pushing him.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown .. says
He was ‘given’ the ‘job’ by Bliar when the economy was just about to go bust, made it much worse with his total failure to do anything about the problems he’d started when chancellor, and then watched Bliar dance away to the arabs and make squillions for himself in the process.
What a despicable couple of trash-merchants those two were.
Strange developments in the Belfield case
he’s always said that he planned to sue the BBC and others civilly for harassing/defaming him
but that the other side finally after years taking him to the criminal court takes precedence so he will bring his court cases afterwards.
#1 He still hasn’t officially pleaded cos the police haven’t come up with a proper indictment that the judge will accept,; he keeps sending it back.. That’s strange cos the trial starts in 2 weeks time.
#2 Belfield says that the judge has now insisted that he will be provided with a QC paid for by the state.
He has always said a QC is too expensive so he would defend himself
which surely is his right
His spin omits an explanation rapists are often not allowed to examine their accusers directly cos that would be like a second rape
Since the charges against him are harassment cross examination by him would be second harassment.
The police had requested that he use a advocate
And it seems the judge has agreed
But surely it is strange for people who are not on legal aid to be given a free QC
Secondly ..it’s quite late for a QC to be properly briefed
Surely if it is a stitchup, they will try to give him a duff QC
.. https://youtu.be/5cLLC0k86y0
#3 Apparently the judge has agreed that Belfield is a journalist and has journalism rights
Although the police have always refused him that in this case.
A very mediocre headline chosen by the BBC for an article which is all about the murder of non-Muslims by Muslims in Afghanistan.
‘Afghanistan was once home to tens of thousands of Sikhs and Hindus, but decades of conflict have seen the number dwindle to a tiny handful.’
That’s genocide BBC. Why don’t you call it what it is ?.
They don’t go anywhere near telling us why. I’ve said many times, all their Left wing extreme empathy is fake. The only death and misery they care about are the ones they can exploit for their agenda.
That’s the BBC’s headline which is remarkably bland considering the result.
Here’s what Le Monde wrote instead:
‘Macron loses absolute majority as far right makes historic breakthrough and left surges’
The big story to me in that article is how the ‘far right’ (which seems to just mean anyone against mass-immigration these days) have won a record number of seats. But we won’t talk about that at the BBC.
Classic FM reported the result as a âsetbackâ for Macron, implying he will be able overturn the result in due course. I have no knowledge of French politics so assume this is possible or is a way of glossing over a bad result.
It was reported earlier this week that Forces TV is closing down completely at the end of this month. Apparently it’s been scheduled to lose its Freeview slot for a year now, due to the auctioning of the COM7 multiplex’s frequency to EE, which will use it for 5G services.
One step closer to me unplugging my aerial completely and just using my telly as a monitor for my Blu Ray player and YouTube.
On the brighter side, another casualty will be BBC News HD, which will only continue broadcasting on Freeview in SD format (it will still be available in HD on Sky, Freesat and Virgin). I don’t know if this has any significance to the evil Corporation – probably not. https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/forces-tv-is-closing
Oh hell. No more Dear John (Forces TV on Friday evenings).
Not John Sullivan’s best sitcom but Kirk St Moritz, as played by the late Peter Blake, was a terrific character.
We had a good laugh seeing the old Imbecile in the White House fall off his bike yesterday.
It now emerges that the reason the old perv cycled over to the group of journalists in the first place was that he spotted a young girl in the crowd and couldn’t resist doing a spot of hair-sniffing.
And that was the day after his daughter revealed he showered with her when she was 11, which she now blames for her sex addiction.
What a disgusting family. I don’t suppose the BBC will be reporting all that.
Don’t forget how he psuhed a woman up against a wall and put his finger inside because ‘someone told him she liked him’.
And the MSM to their eternal shame have said nothing. Yet look at the pantomime they made of Trump boasting about grabbing women. Women who were there by choice and didn’t complain about it.
Tara Reade said her mother called into Larry King Live anonymously “saying my daughter was sexually harassed and retaliated against and fired, where can she go for help?”
that bit is on tape
In 2020 she named Biden as the perp.
Previously she had only complained about harassment, but a few people said she had told them about the sexual part.

I’m afraid that I have very little sympathy for our hapless prime minister as he flounders around while the country goes on strike. This is mainly of his own making.
We’re in this state, primarily, because of lockdown. You can’t strangle the life out of an economy for eighteen months and not expect serious problems. Now they’re happening…
Bunter didn’t have the courage to stand up to his “scientific advisers” or the cheerleaders for lockdowns in the media. While Britain went into enforced economic hibernation he did nothing other than signing cheques and attending useless global warming summits to waffle about green issues. Now he’s charging about Ukraine in another deflection, instead of getting on with the real job. The man is a useless, cowardly pillock. Can you ever imagine Mrs Thatcher locking down our economy? Do me a favour…
One thing I will mention…the media coverage of the union turnout at the weekend. They’re all over it. It’s wall to wall. Blimey, if you didn’t know that the BBC was impartial, you might think they were supporting it…
Most of the anti lockdown demos that I attended mustered ten times the numbers to be seen on London’s streets, but you’d never have know that from our media (non) coverage. If you heard anything at all it was something like “A few hundred people attended an anti lockdown demonstration in London.” Yeh right, try half a million, that would be closer.
So, here we are. A summer of discontent goaded on by the media. Prices soaring, taxes rising. You can’t get on a train and it’s bloody hard work getting getting on a plane. Food shortages. Brilliant!
Are ultra left-wing union leaders making the most of this? Of course. Are they being encouraged by parts of the media? Absolutely. Is there anything we can do about it?
One out, all out, or… straight out of the blocks edition
No doubt feeling a bit bereft without those lockdowns they so enjoyed: Teachers and doctors threaten to join strikes (Times)
Well, imagine if you had deal face to face with all those unruly smelly kids and sickly infectious demanding patients.
But, I hear you say, doctors are pretty well paid and work for the NHS on a self-employed basis?
The Daily Mirror proletarianises the news for us: Now teachers & nurses join pay fight – and nurses – as well we know it – are poorly paid angels.
So forget for a moment those money-grabbing over-prescribing three-day-a-week absolutely no house calls considered, stethoscope brandishing bandits… the Daily Mail says: what about the workers: Now teachers and NHS workers warn of walkouts as… summer strike plague spreads – and where would we (and our media) be these days without a plague, pandemic, epidemic lurgy of some form or other?
Gosh, just imagine… the NHS on strike… doctors uncontactable… appointments cancelled… ambulances interminably late… A&E packed to the gunwales with the walking wounded…
Stop worrying about our NHS. It’ll all be sorted. Afterall, if lockdown taught us anything it was that we live in a governmental funding cornucopia. It’s a utopian bottomless money pit – a horn of patient plenty: Heart surgery boost… An operation to repair “leaky” heart valves will be offered by the NHS after a ten-year funding battle. It could help thousands… (Times); 54 charities join forces to demand cancer battle plan (Daily Express); Bitter pills: The danger of overprescribing painkillers (Telegraph)
What if our NHS did walk out on strike – would we notice yet another idle public service? Leaked memo reveals Passport Office chaos. Customers face extra ÂŁ100 charge to avoid backlog (‘i’) The cops have been out for ages: No burlars caught in almost half UK (Telegraph)
In gay news – as put on record on the frontpage for us by the Mirror, and Guardian: ‘I feel I can finally breath now I’ve come out as gay’ (Metro)- this is Dame Kelly Holmes in the commuter railway station giveaway advertising sheet (good luck with that business model in the next week or so) The corporate HR departments, care of the Metro editorial, tell us exactly what we’re supposed to think: Out in front: Olympics legend Dame Kelly Homes was praised for revealing her sexuality…
Mr AsISeeIt? I could share… but it’s all a bit pedestrian, promise. Unlikely to grab news headlines and please don’t hold any parades. Could one have fancied Dame Kelly back in the day? The problem would have been catching her.

Not a peep on the BBC yet. How are we supposed to trust a single thing they tell us if they only report the things which suit their agenda ?.
I’m sure they’ll put it up eventually because they have to – but do it very reluctantly.
I think that BBC tendency to pick and choose what they report loudly is a thing football fans notice when they chant: “You only sing when you’re winning!”
Craig says:
“There was an interesting edit made overnight to the BBC’s main report on the French general election. Early versions said that President Macron’s âcentrist Ensemble coalition has won Sunday’s parliamentary electionsâ. The BBC has now removed that statement.”
Actually the BBC statement is CORRECT.

THE STABBING which left three people dead in Reading yesterday has been declared a ‘terrorist incident’.

The forces have this morning declared the attack was terror-related.
TOADY Watch #1 – that’s a truly exceptional job by a BBC employee to find an exceptional exception of harm
The BBC South-west Correspondent has done an exceptional piece of work and just before the rail strike has found a school-girl in Plymouth who commutes by train everyday to school in London. Outstanding piece of work – exceptional – by our national broadcaster that is a piece of work. This poor, poor girl is going to be forced to miss her GCSEs by those heartless rail workers or to spend her life savings staying in a hotel. Where are her parents?
Except that this schoolgirl isn’t exceptional.
If the BBC South-west correspondent bothered to do some research he would have found that it is possible to do a GCSE exam at home, with a personal invigilator that would be provided by the LEA (Local Education Authority). How do I know this? I’m old, I have learned stuff in life.
Does anyone know the origin of this story because, frankly, I don’t believe it – unless the ‘school day’ is considerably shorter than normal.
The fastest trains between Plymouth and Paddington take about 3 hours 15 minutes, each way. Add time to get to and from home the station and the station to the school, plus say 7 hours of actual school time and the poor child would have little time left to eat and sleep.
Alf, none of that was explained. A credulous BBC reporter asked very few questions of the girl. Correction: I don’t recall him asking any questions; it is just like the BBC has an ulterior motive, an agenda.
On a Northern Line train that is absolutely filthy. looks like it hasnât been deep cleaned in a year, nor even routine-cleaned in weeks. There is clearly a massive shortage of service personnel in every single sector now. And it will only get worse. #BrexitHasFailed
Robert Tombs and Daniel Hannan debate Stella Creasy and Dominic Grieve. Most of the debate seems to be about economics.
Tombs claims, based on what Creasy said during the debate, that it cannot be doubted that a Labour government would do its utmost to reverse Brexit surreptitiously, by attempting to rejoin the customs union and the single market, which would leave us in a worse position than in 2016.
After Shellâs decision to reconsider its decision on the Cambo oil field, we discussed whether energy security and the net zero agenda can coexist, and the practical steps that could be taken to alleviate rapidly rising energy prices.

He also writes The BBC has been accused of institutional alarmism in a new report published by Net Zero Watch. It reveals the BBCâs persistent exaggeration and false information when it comes to climate and weather-related news.
Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled his lungs with air. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word âdoublethinkâ involved the use of doublethink.
A reminder that after the exposure that @Care4Calais are handing illegals leaflets telling them they can receive legal aid in the UK. This very same charity is afforded privileged status by being allowed at the docking area to greet disembarking migrants. @pritipatel ….WHY?
At the same time they are trying to ban Steve Laws from the docks again here.
Steve has arguably been the main person responsible for bringing information on the extent of illegal Channel crossings into the public domain. His twitter accounts have been cancelled and he has been taken to court several times (and won).
This is his summary from yesterday on the numbers over the past week.

After the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, Canada,[15] France, Germany, Italy, Japan,[16] the UK,[17] and US[18][19] stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its Budapest Memorandum obligations to Ukraine and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. On 4 March 2014, the Russian president Vladimir Putin replied to a question on the violation of the Budapest Memorandum, describing the current Ukrainian situation as a revolution: “a new state arises, but with this state and in respect to this state, we have not signed any obligatory documents”.[20] Russia stated that it had never been under obligation to “force any part of Ukraine’s civilian population to stay in Ukraine against its will”. Russia suggested that the US was in violation of the Budapest Memorandum and described the Euromaidan as a US-instigated coup.[21] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances

It’s a dispute between Private Rail Companies and the Unions so why the hell should the Government grovel to the Press or the Unions or join in just to get a bloody nose which is what it’s really all about?
The public will in turn know who is to blame and nothing the BBC or their mates in Labour will change that however hard they push.

Why would that be?
Unions.
My son is a senior teacher and the situations he tells me about with the teaching Unions are remarkable. The teaching Unions are an’ utter disgrace, they are virulently politically militant, ie left wing and fiercely defend the most reprehensible and incompetant teachers. The employer, ie the local authority have to shower crap and abusive teachers with (our)money to get rid of them together with a non disclosure agreements that allow them to fleece another LA or even the same one( I kid you not). I know a lot of this happens with other public sector employment, I wonder what the total annual bill is?
The teaching Unions are only concerned with unseating Tory Governments and buggering up our education system rather than improving the education of our children.

In January 2018, Barack Obama made his first talk show appearance since leaving the White House a year earlier.

I think it was mentioned on the previous thread but it would appear that Gordon Brown was all over the papers this weekend. The Saturday Telegraph colour supplement had Gordonâs photo on the cover put through a very kind filter. I understand he was all over The Times too. The Daily Mail on line had an article about him. He may have been on the BBC too but I have avoided it all weekend. He doesnât seem to have written a book. I just have to ask why?

Gordon Brown : the second worst PM we ever had. The worst until May got in unopposed through dirty trickery all round.
And neither of them won an election.
If someone upset him in a meeting, he would just sit there sulking in silence until they gave up and abandoned it. What a leader.
It’s amazing how certain people the country was glad to forget long ago suddenly have opinions worth listening to when they fit an agenda …

He was ‘given’ the ‘job’ by Bliar when the economy was just about to go bust, made it much worse with his total failure to do anything about the problems he’d started when chancellor, and then watched Bliar dance away to the arabs and make squillions for himself in the process.

Strange developments in the Belfield case
he’s always said that he planned to sue the BBC and others civilly for harassing/defaming him
but that the other side finally after years taking him to the criminal court takes precedence so he will bring his court cases afterwards.
#1 He still hasn’t officially pleaded cos the police haven’t come up with a proper indictment that the judge will accept,; he keeps sending it back.. That’s strange cos the trial starts in 2 weeks time.
#2 Belfield says that the judge has now insisted that he will be provided with a QC paid for by the state.
He has always said a QC is too expensive so he would defend himself
which surely is his right
His spin omits an explanation rapists are often not allowed to examine their accusers directly cos that would be like a second rape
Since the charges against him are harassment cross examination by him would be second harassment.
The police had requested that he use a advocate
And it seems the judge has agreed
But surely it is strange for people who are not on legal aid to be given a free QC
Secondly ..it’s quite late for a QC to be properly briefed
Surely if it is a stitchup, they will try to give him a duff QC
.. https://youtu.be/5cLLC0k86y0
#3 Apparently the judge has agreed that Belfield is a journalist and has journalism rights
Although the police have always refused him that in this case.

Afghanistan gurdwara attack: Sikhs say ‘We don’t feel safe’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61852956
A very mediocre headline chosen by the BBC for an article which is all about the murder of non-Muslims by Muslims in Afghanistan.
‘Afghanistan was once home to tens of thousands of Sikhs and Hindus, but decades of conflict have seen the number dwindle to a tiny handful.’
That’s genocide BBC. Why don’t you call it what it is ?.
They don’t go anywhere near telling us why. I’ve said many times, all their Left wing extreme empathy is fake. The only death and misery they care about are the ones they can exploit for their agenda.

France’s Emmanuel Macron set to lose majority
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61859881
That’s the BBC’s headline which is remarkably bland considering the result.
Here’s what Le Monde wrote instead:
‘Macron loses absolute majority as far right makes historic breakthrough and left surges’
The big story to me in that article is how the ‘far right’ (which seems to just mean anyone against mass-immigration these days) have won a record number of seats. But we won’t talk about that at the BBC.

It was reported earlier this week that Forces TV is closing down completely at the end of this month. Apparently it’s been scheduled to lose its Freeview slot for a year now, due to the auctioning of the COM7 multiplex’s frequency to EE, which will use it for 5G services.
One step closer to me unplugging my aerial completely and just using my telly as a monitor for my Blu Ray player and YouTube.
On the brighter side, another casualty will be BBC News HD, which will only continue broadcasting on Freeview in SD format (it will still be available in HD on Sky, Freesat and Virgin). I don’t know if this has any significance to the evil Corporation – probably not.

It now emerges that the reason the old perv cycled over to the group of journalists in the first place was that he spotted a young girl in the crowd and couldn’t resist doing a spot of hair-sniffing.
And that was the day after his daughter revealed he showered with her when she was 11, which she now blames for her sex addiction.

I’m afraid that I have very little sympathy for our hapless prime minister as he flounders around while the country goes on strike. This is mainly of his own making.
We’re in this state, primarily, because of lockdown. You can’t strangle the life out of an economy for eighteen months and not expect serious problems. Now they’re happening…
Bunter didn’t have the courage to stand up to his “scientific advisers” or the cheerleaders for lockdowns in the media. While Britain went into enforced economic hibernation he did nothing other than signing cheques and attending useless global warming summits to waffle about green issues. Now he’s charging about Ukraine in another deflection, instead of getting on with the real job. The man is a useless, cowardly pillock. Can you ever imagine Mrs Thatcher locking down our economy? Do me a favour…
One thing I will mention…the media coverage of the union turnout at the weekend. They’re all over it. It’s wall to wall. Blimey, if you didn’t know that the BBC was impartial, you might think they were supporting it…
Most of the anti lockdown demos that I attended mustered ten times the numbers to be seen on London’s streets, but you’d never have know that from our media (non) coverage. If you heard anything at all it was something like “A few hundred people attended an anti lockdown demonstration in London.” Yeh right, try half a million, that would be closer.
So, here we are. A summer of discontent goaded on by the media. Prices soaring, taxes rising. You can’t get on a train and it’s bloody hard work getting getting on a plane. Food shortages. Brilliant!
Are ultra left-wing union leaders making the most of this? Of course. Are they being encouraged by parts of the media? Absolutely. Is there anything we can do about it?
Sweet FA…

No doubt feeling a bit bereft without those lockdowns they so enjoyed: Teachers and doctors threaten to join strikes (Times)
Well, imagine if you had deal face to face with all those unruly smelly kids and sickly infectious demanding patients.
But, I hear you say, doctors are pretty well paid and work for the NHS on a self-employed basis?
The Daily Mirror proletarianises the news for us: Now teachers & nurses join pay fight – and nurses – as well we know it – are poorly paid angels.
So forget for a moment those money-grabbing over-prescribing three-day-a-week absolutely no house calls considered, stethoscope brandishing bandits… the Daily Mail says: what about the workers: Now teachers and NHS workers warn of walkouts as… summer strike plague spreads – and where would we (and our media) be these days without a plague, pandemic, epidemic lurgy of some form or other?
Gosh, just imagine… the NHS on strike… doctors uncontactable… appointments cancelled… ambulances interminably late… A&E packed to the gunwales with the walking wounded…
Stop worrying about our NHS. It’ll all be sorted. Afterall, if lockdown taught us anything it was that we live in a governmental funding cornucopia. It’s a utopian bottomless money pit – a horn of patient plenty: Heart surgery boost… An operation to repair “leaky” heart valves will be offered by the NHS after a ten-year funding battle. It could help thousands… (Times); 54 charities join forces to demand cancer battle plan (Daily Express); Bitter pills: The danger of overprescribing painkillers (Telegraph)

Mr AsISeeIt? I could share… but it’s all a bit pedestrian, promise. Unlikely to grab news headlines and please don’t hold any parades. Could one have fancied Dame Kelly back in the day? The problem would have been catching her.

TOADY Watch #1 – that’s a truly exceptional job by a BBC employee to find an exceptional exception of harm
The BBC South-west Correspondent has done an exceptional piece of work and just before the rail strike has found a school-girl in Plymouth who commutes by train everyday to school in London. Outstanding piece of work – exceptional – by our national broadcaster that is a piece of work. This poor, poor girl is going to be forced to miss her GCSEs by those heartless rail workers or to spend her life savings staying in a hotel. Where are her parents?
Except that this schoolgirl isn’t exceptional.
If the BBC South-west correspondent bothered to do some research he would have found that it is possible to do a GCSE exam at home, with a personal invigilator that would be provided by the LEA (Local Education Authority). How do I know this? I’m old, I have learned stuff in life.

Does anyone know the origin of this story because, frankly, I don’t believe it – unless the ‘school day’ is considerably shorter than normal.
The fastest trains between Plymouth and Paddington take about 3 hours 15 minutes, each way. Add time to get to and from home the station and the station to the school, plus say 7 hours of actual school time and the poor child would have little time left to eat and sleep.

Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled his lungs with air. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word âdoublethinkâ involved the use of doublethink.

After the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, Canada,[15] France, Germany, Italy, Japan,[16] the UK,[17] and US[18][19] stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its Budapest Memorandum obligations to Ukraine and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. On 4 March 2014, the Russian president Vladimir Putin replied to a question on the violation of the Budapest Memorandum, describing the current Ukrainian situation as a revolution: “a new state arises, but with this state and in respect to this state, we have not signed any obligatory documents”.[20] Russia stated that it had never been under obligation to “force any part of Ukraine’s civilian population to stay in Ukraine against its will”. Russia suggested that the US was in violation of the Budapest Memorandum and described the Euromaidan as a US-instigated coup.[21]

If you are in a banana republic each office must have a picture of the president … as a false proclamation that they worship the president
If they don’t CONFORM they face intimidation.
Likewise in the woke banana republic that is modern UK
the walls of corporates & government orgs have woke proclamations to signal that they worship woke issues
: Green, Net-Zero, BLM, LGBT et.
If they don’t CONFORM they face intimidation from the libmob
in libmob world the proclamations are mostly false so are gaslighting
I’m looking at the Nationwide shareholder report
“We’ve been carbon neutral since 2020”
“All our electricity is from renewable sources”
Those are false in the real world, they are only backed by the idea they have purchased carbon credits.
And on windless nights they are powered by non-renewables

On the bBC websh1te there is an item asking all the Wakefield by-election candidates to deliver a one-minute manifesto on the cost of living.

However, there doesn’t appear to be a similar one for the Tiverton and Honiton by-election.
Why would that be?

Regarding Tom Hanks saying gays should play gays etc.
If, in some future film, a person is cast as Hitler, I wonder how he would feel about others thinking he is the right person for the role.

Unions.
My son is a senior teacher and the situations he tells me about with the teaching Unions are remarkable. The teaching Unions are an’ utter disgrace, they are virulently politically militant, ie left wing and fiercely defend the most reprehensible and incompetant teachers. The employer, ie the local authority have to shower crap and abusive teachers with (our)money to get rid of them together with a non disclosure agreements that allow them to fleece another LA or even the same one( I kid you not). I know a lot of this happens with other public sector employment, I wonder what the total annual bill is?
The teaching Unions are only concerned with unseating Tory Governments and buggering up our education system rather than improving the education of our children.

Stumbled across this on Facebook, and as it seems to be something The BBC/ECo/FT/Graun brigade get excited by, decided to have a look.

But generating widespread interest in these characters is still difficult
Not really, if your #prasnews PR guys have the right addresses.
Thing is, interest in woke newsrooms is not the same as interest with the paying public.
Hence the comment thread is a bun fight between woke white guilt gurners, Islamists and realists.

In January 2018, Barack Obama made his first talk show appearance since leaving the White House a year earlier. A cacophonous cheer erupting as he strode to the front of the stage, the former President sat down for an hour-long interview with legendary host David Letterman to discuss life in and after politics.
But the interview was not broadcast on CBS, where Letterman used to work. Nor did it feature on CNN, ABC, or any other US network.
Instead, it premiered on Netflix, the online streaming service that has transformed the structure of the entertainment industry with more than 60 million viewers in the US alone.

SNL sketches are often the weakest, least funny “comedy” imaginable. That these people think their work somehow has importance or is even effective pro-abortion propaganda is more grimly humorous.
The woman actually says “I have a right to exist” about halfway through, no irony intended.
