While sleepy Joe destroys America by Socialism at an alarming rate Russia and China take advantage to form a new global aliance gaining traction to the extent that now half the worlds population are members of it.
We look like being on the wrong side of history thanks to the idiocy of the Democrat party, and Blue & Red Labour in our own country, with the political class inhabiting a fantasy world where if they can’t apply a meaningless ism or fauxbia to something, then they can’t deal with it.
Back the strong horse.
Or, as Osama used to put, when people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they go with the strong horse. The Islamic State will have land, money, oil, and a ton of great infrastructure and weaponry courtesy of American taxpayers. All the “moderate” groups we’ve been trying to woo from Libya to Syria and beyond will side with the strong horse. Our remaining allies, such as Jordan, reeling under the social strains of a vast swollen refugee tide from across its borders, will get with the program – or be the next to fall. Nothing exists in isolation: Syria was unimportant to the Obama Administration, so it sat by as the opposition to Assad mutated and evolved, and then spilled over into Iraq. And maybe Iraq is unimportant, too, but, bigger and stronger, ISIS will move on from there, too. Is the Kurdish north unimportant? Lebanon? Jordan? Israel?

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – yes but, no but … why New York?
When I first became a regular here, Pounce was still around, now he’s mostly on TCW and maybe his own w-site. I posted that the BBC had an obsession with America and Pounce disagreed. I put up evidence as I stumbled across it and here’s another bit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61951296 Quite why the BBC have to go Stateside, I know not but they are keen on the US even if the Senate hearings are going badly for the BBC as ‘Trump-haters’.

Eyebrows were raised in Downing Street over the weekend after the publication of a story in The Sunday Times that Boris had looked into having a £150,000 treehouse built for son Wilf at Chequers. The story – undisputed since publication – goes he had once again entered into discussions about Lord Brownlow forking out for the cost, however plans were eventually scuppered by police security concerns given the house would be visible from the road. Despite the design including bulletproof glass, which raised the cost significantly…
Guido was amused to learn that Downing Street’s eyebrows weren’t raised by the Sunday Times’s story, instead by Labour MPs’ attacking the plans on the grounds of Boris being out of touch. Vauxhall’s Florence Eshalomi, Rhondda’s Chris Bryant, Wallasey’s Angela Eagle, and Hull’s Karl Turner were all among those laying into the PM.
No. 10 sources wryly note, however, that it wasn’t that long ago when it was a Labour PM splashing huge wads of cash to renovate Chequers – without a whimper of controversy. In 1999, one Tony Blair added a luxury tennis court complex to the PM’s Buckinghamshire residence, something since enjoyed by successive MPs including David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Sources in the know tell Guido that the courts weren’t built using public cash, nor did they come out of the Chequers Trust, implying the extortionate costs either came out of Blair’s personal pocket, or a private donor. Given Guido unfortunately can’t make it to Blair’s big centrist jamboree today, perhaps an on-hand hack might like to raise the question of who paid for the courts…

Having taken a break from MSM as it was raising my blood pressure to levels hither too unbeknown to man … i have Radio 2 on this morning whilst working.
Just caught the 11am bulletin ……
The news reader stated 240 (or whatever the figure was) people, including women and children crossed the Channel yesterday. The BBC just cannot help themselves can they !! Women and children you say ??? How many ??? Ratio to fighting age men ????
Just pathetic , we all see with our own eyes it 99% MEN !!!! BUT, the BBC have to make sure we are aware there as 1 woman on the boat.
Doobster78 – The BBC are forward looking, the women and children will arrive later, the 99% men are just the anchors.
So.. Ben, or Jerry?

Liverpool ‘child asylum seekers’ found to be adults
Published
8 December 2018
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-46494675
Twenty-four asylum seekers who claimed they were children after being sent to Liverpool were found to be adults, the city’s council has said.
The authority said another 15 asylum seekers “should have been identified as children” by the government and accommodated in London instead.
A Home Office spokesman said age-disputed cases remain “a very challenging area”.
Liverpool City Council wants to recover £657,000 for supporting the children.
And this four year old article is relevant to todays news how exactly ?
What, exactly, are these inter-poster snarks meant to achieve too?
Don’t feel worth reading… skip.
As any can and will this.

URL speaks for itself, but relax it isn’t hurty heeling or hatey speech so no one in the Red Labour Party will need to do something about a subject they don’t understand and pay little attention to.
Neither for the same reason do the BBC or the rest of the media who are so fixated with ridiculous anti White race hate the fact that Red Boris, the reincarnation of Harold Wilson is trashing the economy as effectively as Joe Biden.
UK trade to Ukraine – free 1billion.
Abby-Leigh Doig had finished studying a course in forensic psychology when a field full of cows set her off on a different career path.
A group of heifers moved into the land behind her house in Fife, and before long she knew that she wanted to become a farmer.
As a young autistic Muslim woman, it was hard for Abby-Leigh to find role models in the industry.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-61953122
She has received comments on TikTok from other Muslims who would like to get into farming but do not know where to begin.
MarkyMark seems to get it in the neck a bit around here but I commend him for bringing stuff like this to our attention. The linked article is worth a read as it says so much about the BBC mindset.
‘During lockdown she (Abby-Leigh) binged on true crime documentaries, which inspired her to study forensic psychology.’
And then. . .
‘ “Because of my autism, as soon as I have a new interest then I try to find out absolutely everything about that topic,” she says.’
Anyone care to guess what she’ll be doing this time next year?
‘ “There’s quite a severe lack of autistic hijabi farmers,” she added.’
A severe lack of realism among BBC reporters, more like.
Finally a bit of male-bashing and socialism from “agricultural sociologist” Prof Lee-Ann Sutherland:
‘ “We need to make sure that it’s a profession that anyone can get into, rather than just people who inherit the land from their parents.” ‘
Trick – somebody on here wrote a comment telling me to ‘f off and die ‘ ….because I tried to censor their comment .
They got over 30 upticks the last time I looked . I thought of giving up the moderator job but I love the money girls and power too much ….
They only want you to have sex and die during sex 😉
I used to be quite sensitive to adverse comments here – mainly because I cannot confront the person face to face where we might have a resolution ….
Fed, Don’t take any notice of those 30 upticks against your censoring those appalling posts
There is a way to repeatedly uptick on this site. I found it by accident once. When I saw those 30 upticks I guessed that person had found the way too. There was a previous name on this site who used to post unpleasant posts and he had a far greater uptick count than what was credible.
Unless you can see who does the upticking and it was thirty separate people I suggest you ignore it.
If on the other hand I am wrong and it was 30 individuals I simply suggest the old wax effigy and pins trick.
Fedup2,
“money girls and power” – The only reasons anybody does anything, according to some.
Considering Prince Charles’s (literal) baggage recently, and Andrew’s pathetic woes, do you think we’d get a better class of monarchy if we paid the Royal Family more?
Oh Trick – you tease – Thoughtful is the comedian on here who supports paying politicians more money to get ‘quality ‘… this always gives me a laugh .
As for the Royals – it would be nice if just one of them was a bit clever … I remember Diana spencer saying that she was ‘thick ‘ and by her conduct she certainly proved it …
How Charles Windsor got in a position where he was physically taking cash from an Arab is beyond me – unless it has been such a common practice that he / they – got a bit sloppy …
One might only guess what the frankly nasty amoral younger brother might have got upto with the likes of Epstein and Maxwell …. ( who isn’t dead yet ) …
Giuffre lawyers ask Prince Andrew for proof that he cannot sweat

I am sole admin of a Facebook group that has well over a thousand members. Approximately 1% of the membership are utterly despicable people. That roughly accords with my experience of dealing with the public when I was customer-facing: the best thing to do with that one person in a hundred is walk away, or if that’s not possible, ignore them. I don’t feel that I am qualified, or have any responsibility, to deal with sociopaths.

“profession that anyone can get into” – she changes profession every two minutes.
TC, MM’s posts seem to be about out-of-date news or PRs or off topic whereas those of us who try to keep on Fed’s good side 😉 🙂 try to post about the BBC being biased and stuff like that.
Lol
If a British guy who’s a Morris Dancing fanatic moved to Japan

As a young autistic Muslim woman, it is hard to find role models in the farming industry ?.
Really ?.
Farming goats I presume.

… people used to ritually go over the Cuba crisis but that seems minor in comparison to where we are now ….
Fed, the politicos seem to be talking us into WW3 and the way the BBC frame it and try to attack HMG because it is (nominally) Conservative seems to lure unwise politicos into ramping up the war rhetoric as a distraction. Think the BBC would like another war until they ended up under Government control.
Listening to this ((Tucker Carlson FOX news video above) is an indication of that Biden is simply a media ‘prop’ for US Socialists – and its sad to see the US FED caught up in what is (must be) a US long planned insidious conspiracy of UN penned socialists (posing as Liberals) – which is why the BBC want to expand in the US. They want to dance of the grave of US global aspirations.
Biden has links to China that cannot be denied, even if all evidence is being erased (as video), the truth is out. Something stinks in the US and it points directly to Biden and his hidden ‘handlers’. Very worrying as Biden on-his-own is not clever enough, perhaps never was — despite being suddenly’ (against the odds) ELECTED. The question then becomes HOW?
Phillip – I think Obama still runs the show in the same way putin never gave up controlling Russia – Biden as VP was a joke and remains so – particularly with the Dementia .
The conspiracy to fix the US presidential election was huge – and had the full consent of the DoJ and msm – hence no one in the pop media ever even suggesting skullduggery
And the protest on the 6 jan is now an added smokescreen used to both cover up the fraud and undermine any attempt by President Trump to get the throne back …
An amazing achievement really …
Fed, Time magazine had a hubristic article by Molly Ball – may be fake but could be genuine – written on 4 Feb 2021 that was included in the 15 February 2021 cover date issue of the magazine. A linked video on U-tube has been taken down.
This might garner a fun reaction in now well established flunce circles.

As the BBC plan their Socialist revival revolution (circa 1917) its NOT all going to plan. This week in the Daily Mail (Wed 29th) I am happy to report than the BBC have agreed to pay out £50,000 to Mark Killock the BBC PANORAMA whistleblower who first reported that BBC ‘PANORAM’ was all false – and which was portrayed as FACT by the BBC as a ‘news scoop’. The BBC had always DENIED it was until— (proved to be TOTALLY false!)**. i.e. the BBC lied.
Last year the BBC had to pay out £1.5 million to a charity selected by the Royal Family on fallout from The Martin Bashir scandal.
BBC payout to man who blew whistle to Bashir.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10961677/BBC-pays-significant-sum-Panorama-whistleblower-sacked-Diana-interview.html
** Last year the BBC admitted it HAD empolyed a FORGER to create a false document that BASHIR had used… That cost them a cool £1,000,000 for trying to cover it up…
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10072329/Martin-Bashir-scandal-BBC-agrees-payout-1million-graphic-designer-blew-whistle.html
I would add that Bashir was (is still on full pension?) with FULL BBC pay and was moved ‘elsewhere’ somewhere in the BBC network. The BBC elite bull-shitters paid by the TV license fee.
And another blow to BBC credibility as if it has any left following the allegations of SAVILLE and co-conspirators.
The BBC allegations against Cliff Richard (another BBC payout) cost the BBC another £2,000,000.

she still hasn’t had her trial
“pre-trial hearing for July 26.”
“MP Margaret Ferrier will stand trial in August”
The one @Fedup2 mentioned is different
“Former SNP MP Natalie McGarry jailed for two years for embezzling almost £25,000
In 2014 transferred to her own personal account. £10,472 & £9,848 ”
“McGarry had argued these were “legitimate” expenses which she had incurred and which she was reimbursing herself for.
Current Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf also told of how he gave McGarry £600 to prevent her from being evicted from her house.”
The fraud happened BEFORE she was an MP
(which was between 2015 and 2017)
Stew – I don’t know or care how many SNP MPs there are in either place but the ratio of sinners to those not yet caught seems very high …
Inspired by HRH’s values of harmony and sustainability, The Prince of Wales’s charities work to transform lives and build sustainable communities.
For over 40 years His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has been a leader in identifying charitable need and setting up and driving forward charities to meet it.
The Prince of Wales carries out dozens of engagements every year in support of his charities. Collectively The Prince of Wales’s charities raise more than £100 million annually to support The Prince of Wales’s charitable work in the UK and overseas.

The Prince of Wales accepted bags containing millions of euros in cash during meetings with a senior Qatari politician, according to a report. Prince Charles was said to have been given a total of €3m (£2.6m) during meetings with Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, the former prime minister of Qatar.4 days ago
….
A US federal lawsuit has been filed against Qatari royal, Sheikh Khalid Bin Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, brother of the current emir of the Gulf state, with bombshell claims about the playboy life of the prince.
In the suit filed by ex-staffers in the state of Massachusetts, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Al Thani is accused by American plaintiffs of committing a number of serious crimes going back several years including rape, kidnap, assault and murder. Al Thani, who it seems had a number of business ventures with some of the plaintiffs, is also facing charges of breaching US
employment laws and reneging on his contract.

Interesting segment on GBN with Brazier. A local councillor in Dungeness (Kent) has been filming migrants walking up the beach at the crack of sunrise. She followed all the young men as there were lined up – rescued by an official boat ! and asked why they are here. One said “I don’t speak English” and she said “yes you do, you’ve just replied in English”.
At interview she said that many volunteers are filming this invasion because the msm just concentrate on Dover, and have no idea what’s happening further along the coastline. She says its a daily occurrence they pitch up on the beach then disappear into the countryside. I’ve heard its the same at Ramsgate – the nearest point to France, but filming is never done there either.
If 50,000 are here by illegal means, then there must be another 25,000 who have not been calculated into the official figures.

Jim’ll FIX IT for Brian ….
Professor Brian Cox fulfils a childhood dream by going behind the scenes at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), mission control for Mars 2020 – one of the most ambitious missions ever launched that may finally reveal if life ever existed on the red planet.
In 1980, a young Brian Cox wrote to JPL asking for photos from some of their missions to the planets. The pictures they sent him from Voyager and the Viking mission to Mars were a source of inspiration that set him on the path to becoming a physicist.
Now, over 40 years later, he has been granted privileged access to JPL, including key mission areas that are usually off-limits to film crews. Brian spends a week following the team who guide the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity helicopter – the first powered aircraft ever sent to another planet – across the surface of Mars during a critical stage of the mission.
Perseverance’s goal is to search for signs of long extinct life on the surface of Mars in an area called Jezero Crater, which, 3.8 billion years ago, was filled by a vast lake. If it finds evidence of that life, it could change everything we know about life in the universe – and even transform our understanding of our own origins.

The programme referred to events in Bucha and a thread on Twitter by Dr Justin Schlosberg, a Reader in Journalism and Media at Birkbeck, University of London.
File On 4 explained that the Kremlin has denied that there was a massacre in Bucha and is insisting images of dead bodies in the streets were made after Russian troops withdrew from the city. A video by the Mayor of Bucha celebrating the Russian departure from Bucha was tweeted by a RT (Russia Today) journalist, who noted that the Mayor had said ‘not a word about “massacre”’, and then claimed civilians had probably been killed by the Ukrainian defenders, saying: ‘Judging by this, Kiev is amping up its’ game of fakes to get more ammo and to get Nato involved on the ground in the open.’
Dr Schlosberg tweeted: ‘So lets talk about Bucha.. Russian troops left on 30th March. No mention of any ‘massacre’ or bodies lining the streets for 4 days…’
He linked to the RT post and commented: ‘No mention in a video uploaded by Bucha’s mayor on 31st March in which he celebrates liberation..’
File On 4 said: ‘Dr Schlosberg highlighted this in his tweet. How could the Mayor have failed to refer to such an atrocity – surely something’s up?’
We wish to make clear that this last sentence was not a direct quote from Dr Schlosberg but the presenter’s summary of the sentiments he expressed in his Tweets. We are sorry this was not clearer.
Dr Schlosberg says the idea that he was pushing a particular Kremlin narrative with his thread is absurd; that he went on Twitter because it wasn’t clear what was going on in Bucha and that it was right to apply due caution and not to draw foregone conclusions about what happened there until there had been an authoritative investigation by the UN.
We agree that it would have been helpful to the audience to have included these specific points to aid their understanding of Dr Schlosberg’s reasons for posting in the way that he did. We are sorry that we did not.

After Shell’s 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.
Both contributors to the discussion argued against Shell’s involvement in the oil field.

We reported that the acclaimed British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley is to become a German citizen. We said he was giving up his British passport because of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union and that he had described the move as embarrassing and had plans for new sculptures that would reflect his view.
In fact Sir Antony Gormley is not giving up his British nationality and has asked us to make clear the circumstances behind his application for a German passport.
Sir Antony holds dual nationality as a result of having a German mother and has decided to apply for a German passport, which he will hold alongside his British one.
In a statement he says he remains a proud British citizen and is grateful for the extraordinary support he has received from so many people and institutions across the UK but he is also keen to retain his links with and continue to show his work in Europe.
We apologise for the mistake.

The programme also said that the southern part of Madagascar is ‘on the brink of the world’s first climate-induced famine’.
We should have made it clear we were reflecting the language used by the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) in its assessment of conditions in Madagascar.
Other evidence suggests there were additional factors which made a significant contribution to the situation on the island.

.. practically all plants absorb CO2 you thicko
but usually when they die they breakdown and react emit it, unless they become marshland or something.
Reporter continues “planting seagrass helps to absorb large quantities of *harmful* CO2”
… you thicko, CO2 is plant food it is not harmful.
The whole item is PRasNews for Orsted who got to make a number of grand claims.

VIEWPOINT
BBC Director-General, Tony Hall
It’ll cost you.
Everyone must pay for the BBC, says Tony Hall.
“… … … …
Last week a committee of influential MPs said that the licence fee should cover catch-up television, and perhaps eventually, become a household levy. We’ve always said that the licence fee should be updated. I believe we need a licence fee, in whatever form, that provides a universal service for a universal fee.
The case for the BBC doesn’t rest on ideological arguments. It rests on us making great programmes and services. … … …
Since this Royal Charter began back in 2007 we reach more people, people’s trust has gone up, and their view of our quality has gone up too.
So I’m heartened those same MPs supported another ten-year Charter, as it is essential for our editorial independence. They support our record on efficiency and we’ll keep on delivering even better value. … …
Where the internet is making information easier to find but harder to trust, you need to have a trusted source readily to hand to find out what’s really happening. Somewhere that is affordable and accessible.
The BBC is the most-shared news source on Twitter because our voice is free from commercial or political allegiances, answering only to the audience, not to shareholders, advertisers or paymasters.
… … … … …
The BBC stands at a crossroads. Down one path lies a BBC reduced in impact and reach in a world of global giants; a BBC sleepwalking into decay, leaving Britain diminished and dominated by global gatekeepers, partial news and American taste-makers.
Down the other path is a strong BBC helping to bind the country, a British creative beacon to the world, an internet-first BBC that belongs to everyone and where everyone belongs.
It’s important these choices aren’t left to politicians in isolation. … … …”
I won’t do a critical analysis of this text because it would be long and tedious. People can draw their own conclusions. I’ll just say this: Tony Hall was either seriously delusional or a shameless liar.
The liars at the BBC won’t report this, so once again it’s up to us: yesterday a humble tailor was murdered in India for having expressed mild online support for a commentator who expressed mild criticism against Moo-ham-mad for having sex with a child (let’s call it paedophile rape, shall we?).
And for more muslim murder, mutilation and mayhem, see: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

The popular decision to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda is to be dragged back through the courts on July 19th.
Care4Calais the so-called charity along with the Trade Union Congress and the far-left organisation StandUpToRacism have raised the funding to drag this to the High Court.”
…
The Unions involved in the attempts to block this policy are the PCS, Unite the Union, GMB, Communication Workers Union, Unison, Fire Brigades Union, NASUWT, ASLEF, UCU and BFAWU just to name a few.
Its also supported by organizations such as the RefugeeCouncil, Amnesty UK and various other pro-open border charities, groups and activists.
On Tuesday 19th July Care4Calais will be hosting a day of action with their supporters in workplaces, colleges and communities urging people to create a “Twitterstorm”. In other words they’re encouraging all of the support they have to create a false narrative.

For some reason the kid monster who killed another kid has been named by the judge . It’s one of my bugbares – everyone convicted of a crime should be identified …. No secrets .

I manfully stuck with Sherwood, BBCs awful six episode drama, that dealt with a series of crossbow attacks in a former mining village in Nottinghamshire. Mind you, it was bloody hard going…
You’re never very far from lefty propaganda with a BBC drama and this one was no different.
There were endless flashbacks to the mid eighties miners strike and numerous references to evil Tories and brutal police. At the end I checked the credits just to make sure it hadn’t been written by Arthur Scargill.
I think the real low point was the introduction of Lyndsay Duncan (still quite tasty!). Ostensibly her character was there to advise the police on former underground activities used by the force when dealing with political agitators. This was just camouflage. She was really introduced to give us a ten minute lecture about the evils of Mrs Thatcher, the Tories and their henchmen in the Met’.
“These officers used their friendship with the women of these groups to get information.” Well, yes, that was their job…
“They formed relationships, had sex and children were born.” True. Not nice, but…
It was her next comment that knocked me sideways, “This was nothing less than state sponsored rape.”
For the love of God, get a bleedin’ grip. No-one held these women down and forced themselves on them. The women were grown ups and willing participants. They were certainly lied to and misled, but this was NEVER rape.
I wonder if in forty years or so the BBC will be making dramas about the Rotherham and Rochdale Muzzie grooming gang rapists. Suddenly a new character will be introduced. She’ll say something like, “These were little girls, they should have been protected. The police, their teachers, social services, the media and politicians all turned a blind eye. They were all too cowardly.”
Somehow I don’t think so…
ITV local news ..a change of format
Instead of the normal Mr & Mrs presenters we got two women, then the main ITV news reader was also a white female
Two local reporters were also white female and they had one Asian too
The same male weatherman, and 2 male reporters
The other night I found a TV programme on the BBC that sounded worth watching. This is most unusual because once all the woke-infested stuff has been eliminated there isn’t usually much left. But anyway this was a programme about the unexpected collapse of a large building in the US some time ago. The blurb suggested that the programme would examine the technical reasons for the building’s failure. It didn’t seem likely that such a factual programme could be ruined by exhortations to go veggie to save the planet, or that the presenter would be an amateur transvestite, or that somehow they’d work ‘correct pronouns’ into it. I decided to risk it so I set the PRV. But when I settled down to watch it the damned thing wasn’t on! Instead there was extra Wimbledon! They could have shuffled the prog onto another channel (even the ludicrous BBC 3 could have paused its half-baked schedule for an hour); they could have announced when it would be rescheduled. But no, nothing. So that’s another day when I pay for a TV licence and get nothing in return.
So this afternoon I needed some radio because I was performing a mindless task. In a fit of madness I tuned into Radio Four. Oh, it was ‘Inside Science’ which used to be rather good. I missed the first half, but the bit I heard was — have you guessed it? — all about how we can save the planet by choosing what we eat on the basis of how much CO2 was generated to produce it. What an utterly ludicrous concept! Normal people are going to choose on the basis of price, health, and personal taste. Apart from the fundamental absurdity of it, how are we supposed to know about the CO2? Ah, the presenter had the answer to that. All food should be labelled with its ‘CO2 cost’. By law. Needless to say the item was also a promotion of vegetarianism, with the ‘CO2 cost’ of steak raising cries of horror from the presenter. Well, they can get lost. The effect this item had on me was to add rib eye to my shopping list. I’m not having these swivel eyes buggers telling me what I can and can’t eat.
That’s where I should have turned off. But I didn’t. PM came on. To summarise the items therein: all about correct woke pronouns, the evils of fracking, gas boilers bad; heat pumps good (“You have to run the heat pump all time, so the temperature doesn’t vary.” In other words the house never gets warm enough), and then a piece on major and minor musical scales, which was just a rip-off of Bill Bailey’s well-known set on the subject.
I had 70 minutes of Radio Four and almost every moment of it was an attempt to ‘nudge’ the audience towards a greener, woker, more lefty lifestyle.
BBC = #WokeSupremacist cult
Funny Fred – bbc 4 put on a straight documentary about the origins of UK nuclear weapons . I tried to see what year it was but I reckon 10 years or more ago .
I never knew getting nuclear submarines was dependent on the US getting a base near Glasgow …
The documentary showed the dumbed down decline of the BBC – today it would have been ‘fronted ‘ by Clive or Huw or a coloured female ex footballer …
BBC 10pm news

Compare / contrast —
Azeem Rafiq accuses Yorkshire cricket of systemic racism; cue weeks & months of coverage on institutional change and how grubby the game is. When this blew up the airwaves were full of shame and hand wringing, people at the top needed to go, and Rafiq’s accusations were always taken seriously.
Then anti-semitic tweets emerged (accusing another cricketer of not paying for dinner because “he is a Jew”.) Rafiq apologised and it’s all water under the bridge.
Now Andrew Gale comes out in defence with some pretty strong stuff:
“… I was very disappointed when Azeem’s original allegations were first brought to my attention… For the avoidance of any doubt, I deny each and every allegation that Azeem raised with YCCC and then via the ECB suggesting that I have used racist language and bullied Azeem. I was originally stunned but I am now angry that he has raised such allegations against me.”
“I refuse to have my life defined by unsubstantiated allegations by an embittered former colleague and by a YCCC/ECB witch-hunt… Similarly, I refuse to act or be perceived as a perpetual victim despite the fact my treatment from the club was abhorrent… I am not willing to engage in a tainted process when the relationship between the club, certain members of the media and Azeem is as close as it is… I have received personal abuse and we have had reason to leave our home on occasions.”
I note the tumbleweed surrounding Gale’s comments. Of course the media have shown their carpet-sweeping skills recently when it comes to Yorkshiremen being bullied from their home by angry mobs. Gale’s not playing the victim but his story is the wrong kind of fight. The only times the BBC like their sportsmen strong and defiant is when Serena Williams is on court.

Thanks Stew, my sources are radio and the BBC website mostly. There was a lot of discussion on R5 when the claims first came out.
I will wait to see what happens to the debate from now…
@TerminalMoraine cheers, I know what you mean
BBC pet agendas get endless banging-on.
Yet other news gets the rush treatment
but we paint ourselves into a corner if we label that as “tumbleweed”
The BBC…..
‘….the relationship between the club, certain members of the media and Azeem is as close as it is’
The BBC’s Asian Network sports reporter is very tight with those making claims….and acts more as an advocate than reporter.
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 …

But Marky – people are forced to vote for ‘processed ‘ politicians – Or the election is stolen of course ….
Often it is a matter of the least bad … there is a danger at the other end of the spectrum when the people vote for someone with a ‘vision ‘ – I’d suggest Hitler was the most extreme example of this ….
I’d favour a ‘less government ‘ regime but once they get into office attitudes change and power gets to them ( eg carrie nut nut )

2018 … Dear BBC £3.5 billion paid under threat of prison complaints department,
Could you revisit the 2009 UK MP expenses again, I would not like to find out that MPs like Tony Blair have ran to the shredder prior to your investigations.
Here are some details, can you use Journalists who are avoiding the BBC Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker Pay Gap and see why an MP on £77K salary tops up their money with a job giving them £65K extra a year.
Maybe find other MPs on such amazing schemes and why they are getting free tickets to concerts when they have so much cash sloshing around in their MP expenses accounts.
Chuka Umunna MP, Streatham (tax payer pays him £77K per year) is being paid £65,040 a year Advisory Position at Global Progress (London) Ltd …
1) Look into what he produces for £65K a year.
2) Look at who owns the company and other players – Tony Blair is linked to it.
3) Find other MPs doing the same.
4) Ensure they are paying taxes on the extra money.
5) Maybe interview them and ask some questions rather than how they feel today?
For a head start you can find the details on :
