How dreadfully inconvenient for gay pride week/month/year/decade or whatever we are up to now.
I’m still not sure why people are so proud to be gay. I’m not proud to be heterosexual : I just am. I don’t need to ram it down everybody’s throat.
Andy walks away. But the issue won’t go away. I think GB news has given people the courage to stand up to those trying to impose a blanket of silence.

In October 2019, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, led a 30-strong delegation to India to celebrate and strengthen bilateral ties in trade, investment, tourism, culture and education between India and Manchester.

Indian refiners had been buying Russian oil at bargain rates, when it was first shunned by western companies after sanctions were imposed against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24.9 Jun 2022
Guess Who
I’d go further and say that Burnham went beyond his role as a minister to facilitate the escape of the guilty parties in management and cover up the lack of action (or interest even) by health unions. In another scenario he’d be arranging plastic surgery and fake passports.
Burnham’s certainly got “previous” in covering up for poisonous + dysfunctional public bodies – somebody with a conscience might’ve left public life… Andy sells himself as somebody who’s “there for you” – when the evidence suggests the opposite.

Why are the BBC paying people to produce ‘news’ article like this ?. It’s pure virtue signalling to show how empathic the middle-class BBC are towards the poor, unfortunates with nothing.

Snake Island: Why Russia couldn’t hold on to strategic Black Sea outcrop
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61992491
This article represents a step further in the propaganda and rhetoric we are getting from the BBC for the war in Ukraine.
They show a video (from facebook) of snake island which is a 100% propaganda piece showing various hits by Ukrainian shells along with a thumping soundtrack.
And they still don’t mention that the grain can’t be exported whether Russia are there or not : Ukraine have flat out refused to remove the mines anyway.
The report is almost complete rubbish. For example:
‘Snake Island may be in a highly strategic part of the Black Sea and in an ideal spot for installing sophisticated missile systems, but ultimately it is still a very small rock.’
Anything Ukraine puts on there will get the same treatment the Russians got : constant bombardment. This time from Russian ships.
A very, very desperate attempt by the BBC to make this sound like a major victory for Ukraine. Meanwhile not a single article about the real battle going on in the East.
Bah… Snake Island should belong to Moldova anyway!
Believe it used to belong to Romania. Guess a part of the Eastern European musical chairs geopolitical games.

“Basket of deplorables” is a phrase from a 2016 presidential election campaign speech delivered by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on September 9, 2016, at a campaign fundraising event, which she used to describe half of the supporters of her opponent, Republican nominee Donald Trump saying “They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”.[1] The next day, she expressed regret for “saying half”, while insisting that Trump had deplorably amplified “hateful views and voices”.

Anyway, with breaks being longer on the itv etc it is still not a reason to watch/fund the bbc
The ad breaks on anything Global Radio appear to be getting longer, or maybe just the ads are so dire I switch off and only remember to try switching on again when they are back on again.

Meeshal ‘interviewing ‘ a mouthpiece for the PRC about Hong Kong ( who cares ?) . The Chinese lass knew how to deal with meeshal – the method ? Talk and talk and talk – poor meeshal was completely flummoxed . Obviously her limited knowledge meant she couldn’t ‘challenge ‘ the PRC propaganda being spurted out …
So that’s the answer – just talk and talk
Then …
Our Justin has that Evette cooper in for a chat about disfunctional plod …. But no – no – he couldn’t stop himself – screw public safety and the increasingly corrupt plod – let’s talk about a drunken queer Tory whip ….
So leave plod to it’s cess pit and go for boris …- now the weather …
BTW – the times has a story of a ‘trainee met woman plod ‘ with a Romanian name being thrown out for corruption – her Romanian husband was a heavy heavy drug dealer …..
So why would the plod have ‘issues ‘… ?
They have recruited the dregs in the name of ‘diversity ‘ and now have the consequences – no wonder the decent ones left or are leaving
If the Marxists had a plan to undermine the State – they have certainly succeeded … is there anything that is still effective ?…
Phew, bBC QT managed to find an actual member for the audience.
I think they should be required to produce their Labour Party membership card before being allowed to ask a question ‘ make a political statement ….

Do you notice how so many ‘commentators ‘-Fry – ally Campbell have loud media voices and ‘mental issues ‘? Just saying …
I have been looking on the BBC website for an update about a news item several weeks ago.
I haven’t seen anything.
Whatever happened to the ‘German’ who drove into the pedestrians in a German city a few weeks ago, killing the Teacher and injuring many children.
Was it mental issues again.
Pride before a fall edition
What’s your guilty pleasure – are you a Cheryl Hole or a Chris Pincher?
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away
That was according to Paul McCartney – and perhaps inadvertantly he made a rather prescient point for his age (the 60s and 70s) there – what with the shaming of so many celebrities in the recent #me too era.
Beatles lore has it that the tune came to Macca complete one night by way of a visionary-like dream.
The day before yesterday the left-campaigning ‘i’ newspaper was busy celebrating: Fearsome and fabulous. Why gay villains are pop culture’s unsung heroes… Queer baddies in film and TV can be as fabulous as they are problematic… Javier Bardem’s sexually ambiguous baddie Raoul Silva, who flirts with James Bond in Skyfall, and Ursula in The Little Mermaid, who was modelled on the brilliant drag performer Divine – that’s borderline dodgy territory already familiar to the Guardian: Evil twinks and gay gangsters: why we need to remember history’s horrid homosexuals – a recent compendium containing such odd bed-fellows as: Alexander the Great to Ronnie Kray… why it’s important to discuss the problematic alongside the good
That was yesterday, so to speak. No such relaxed liberal equivocation will be due when the present day real life problematic villain is one of those suspiciously dubious individuals – a Tory MP: Tory deputy chief whip resigns amid sexual misconduct claims. (Guardian) – all put in rather measured terms in the headline there.
Here’s an extraordinary thing – The Sun makes top spot in the BBC online press line up. Could it be the boys and girls over there at the Beeb for once admired the concise forthright tabloid-style headline contained therein? Tory whip quits over drunken ‘gropes’
And the day before yesterday Boris was telling us we had to look away as far as Vladimir Putin over in Russia for an example of what leftists term “toxic masculinity” – “If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t, but if he were, I really don’t think he would’ve embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has. If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, it’s what he’s doing in Ukraine.” (as quoted by the BBC) – quite why a conservative would employ such an ideologically left-loaded term escapes one – although considering Boris ain’t no conservative explains the situation more clearly – But I digress…
For proper context of this MP’s behaviour whilst in his cups (let’s call him a naughty man as opposed to the more broadly misandrist tar-all-men-with-the-same-brush toxic masculinity label) we have to turn to the Daily Mail: Top Tory resigns ‘after groping two men’ – now don’t snigger – this previously obscure so-called top Tory is named Chris Pincher – a case of nominative determinism if ever there was one.
Can homosexual men display toxic masculinity? That’s way beyond my ken. I’m sure some Guardian columnist will be explaining how that works within days.
And this little scandal had to happen in Pride month. Awkwardly, today, the corporate free advertising sheet the Metro goes with: Munroe Bergdorf guest edits guilty pleasures… Lotta love: Cheryl Hole cosies up to Will Young at our Pride party in Soho last night
They still insist it is just about love – but it sounds to me like it’s about sex.
They do say Ringo Starr used to write several songs for each Beatles album. He would play them to John, Paul and George, who would listen patiently and then respond with something like “That sounds good, Ringo, but listen to this one… Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they’re here to stay…”
This segueway is inevitable: IS ‘Beatles’ terrorist to be deported to UK (Telegraph) – talking of the inevitable – of course he is. I’ve still got a quid or two riding on Shamima Begum – last of the 2015 Three Mosqueteers from Bethnal Green – eventually ending up back over here.
ASI – when nut nut came out with that crap about a female putin the nasty flaky image of his wife popped up – he spoke using her words – he ll get an extra ‘kiss’ for that one –
– nut nut is showing Blair derangement syndrome – a growing megalomania fueled by all that glad handing at summits where his pals are amazed his country in burning the credit card sending guns to a lost cause…
Critics in Britain in particular focused on his responsibility for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and while Palestinians initially welcomed the appointment of such a high-profile figure, he quickly became seen as being too close to the Israelis, who were then, as now, far more powerful than the Palestinians still living under occupation.

Today…otherwise known as the ‘Magical Mystery Tour’…is always entertaining if not really informative or educational….maybe how not to do journalism.
A long piece on the police being ‘institutionally corrupt’ because they covered up wrongdoings of officers.
Hmmm…I listened and could only think everything Justin Webb reeled off about the police’s ‘corruption’ could be applied to the BBC which has again and again covered up its own misdemeanours and indeed its ‘complaints procedure’ is designed, it would seem, to be opaque and impossible to navigate to a successful conclusion in the majority of cases.
The BBC that actually sacked whistleblowers to cover up the corrupt Bashir’s ‘scoop’ that Tony Hall praised to the rooftops, the Savile coverup, again the staff being the victims of that BBC coverup, and the Balen report into the BBC’s anti-Semitism which was rapidly sealed up in some dark corner of the BBC archives where no-one is allowed to see it…hardly open and transparent and accountable for our national, public, broadcaster.
And Mishal Husain….must be something wrong with her ears…she just doesn’t listen or hear what she’s being told as Tory Simon Hart repeatedly said he couldn’t confirm an inquiry would happen but he was sure there would be one….and yet Husain still didn’t know whether he said there would be an inquiry.
Husain then went very, even more, political as she suggested there was a problem in the Tory Party with sexual assaults. Hmmm…no other party has such miscreants? How short her memory must be as the SNP’s Patrick O’Grady resigned just a few days ago…oh, let’s not forget allegations against Salmond….and Labour’s Mike Hill and er, Ivan Lewis, Kelvin Hopkins, Clive Lewis, Dave Prescott and undoubtedly numerous other cases…not to mention John Prescott shagging his secretary in the broom cupboard or somewhere.

Just closed my Halifax account. They can stick their pronouns up their/his/her a**e. ‘: Bank suffers exodus of customers after social media manager told them to LEAVE if they don’t like staff sharing pronouns on badges.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10972407/Halifax-suffers-exodus-customers-staff-pronoun-policy.html?ito=native_share_article-masthead
Halifax customers are closing their accounts today after its social media team told them to leave if they don’t like their new pronoun badges in what is being branded one of the worst PR disasters in British business history.
Britons have been pulling out millions of pounds in investments and savings as well as cutting up credit cards or transferring balances to rivals after they accused the bank of ‘alienating’ them with ‘pathetic virtue signalling’ after years or even decades with Halifax.
The row began this week when Halifax tweeted its 118,000 followers on Tuesday that it would allow staff to display their pronouns their name badges. In a post that read ‘pronouns matter’, it showed a photo of a female staff member’s name badge, which featured ‘she/her/hers’ in brackets under the name Gemma.
One customer replied: ‘There’s no ambiguity about the name “Gemma”. It’s a female person’s name. In other words, it’s pathetic virtue signalling and is seen as such by almost everyone who has responded to the initial tweet. Why are you trying to alienate people?’ Within 20 minutes a member of the Halifax social media team, calling himself Andy M, replied: ‘If you disagree with our values, you’re welcome to close your account’.
Andy M’s response has outraged customers, and seen hundreds claiming they will boycott the bank with many saying they have closed their accounts. Others have cut up their credit cards or getting rid of insurance policies.
One told MailOnline: ‘My entire family have now transferred their accounts to Nationwide, cards etc. Loss to Halifax is in excess of 450K in investment accounts and savings’. Another said: ‘I closed my credit card account today, after fifteen years of being a customer’.
Former Doctor Who scriptwriter Gareth Roberts, a Halifax customer since 1988, told the bank: ‘I’m a homosexual man. I’m appalled by your adoption of this homophobic, woman-hating claptrap, and by your attitude to customers making perfectly reasonable objections to it.’ Company director Anders Jersby ended his Halifax car insurance policy and said he would never deal with Halifax again thanks to ‘their antics with pronouns’.
Branding expert Martin Townsend said Halifax’s policy is a ‘Ratner moment’ and an ‘astonishing’ mistake that will be considered one of the biggest PR blunders in recent history.
He told LBC: ‘It’s a Ratner moment I would say. It’s astonishing that they do something to make themselves look right on and virtue signalling – and they end up looking like the most old fashioned bullies, telling them: “If you don’t like it you’re welcome to leave”.
‘It’s extraordinary. Who treats their customers like that? I’ve never heard of a company inviting their customers to go. It’s so typical of debate these days: “If you don’t like it, off you go”. How is that inclusive? There are big questions about Halifax today and who came up with it’.
sooo….

He can stick his pronouns up his arse.
I have always regarded the that by joining the police or the military you are accepting that if required to do your job, you just get on with it.
Not so now in Scotland as the disease of unionism begins to infect the ranks.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62001386
The right course of action is to put all the cops joining this on unpaid leave and ship in officers willing to get on and do the job.
“disease of unionism”
unionism has two meanings in Scotland ..the SNP are fanatically anti-unionism
“Unionism in Scotland is a political movement which favours the continuation of the political union between Scotland and the UK
hence is opposed to Scottish independence.”

It appears Turkey’s President Erdogan hasn’t quite managed to bury the hatchet with Boris Johnson, after awkward footage emerged yesterday of Biden having to grab the PM’s arm after Erdogan made a joke at his expense. After the inaudible banter between Biden and Erdogan, Boris began pointing a finger at Recep before Biden reportedly clarified “this is a joke, a joke, calm down Boris”. Boris repeats the phrase “Çok guzel”, either Turkish for “very good” or an instruction to Erdogan. Clearly the Turkish president hasn’t forgotten Boris’s old penmanship for the Spectator: “There was a young fellow from Ankara, Who was a terrific wankerer. Till he sowed his wild oats, With the help of a goat, But he didn’t even stop to thankera.”

Has the ex Tory whip been arrested on suspicion of indecent assault yet ? Will the Sunday papers have exclusive with the ‘victims ‘
‘My grope ordeal ‘
‘Tory MP in probe probe ‘……..?
Turkey’s ‘marry your rapist’ law has taken women’s rights right back to the 1950s
To say this is alarming is an understatement. With the president conveying this message, it will only be a matter of time before society buys into the idea that women’s rights don’t matter

DOn’t worry – Boris has a plan.
Boris Johnson’s Guarantee
We will get Brexit done in January and unleash the potential of our whole country.
I guarantee:
Extra funding for the NHS, with 50,000 more nurses and 50 million more GP surgery appointments a year.
20,000 more police and tougher sentencing for criminals.
An Australian-style points-based system to control immigration.
Millions more invested every week in science, schools, apprenticeships and infrastructure while controlling debt.
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 with investment in clean energy solutions and green infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.
We will not raise the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance.
Thank you for supporting our majority Conservative Government so we can move our great country on instead of going backwards.
BORIS JOHNSON
PRIME MINISTER

No Trades Descriptions Act any more eh?

The video shows Erdogan saying something inaudible to Biden and pointing to Boris
Boris’s audio is is clear, he points at Erdogan and says “çok güzelsin” yeh that’s cute,
Erdogan does the same thing to Boris points at him and says yeh that’s cute
Biden meanwhile has grabbed Boris’s arm, as if he doesn’t understand Turkish and doesn’t know what is going on

Hope Si was all versions of appropriate.
The Great Leap Forward (Second Five Year Plan) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962. CCP Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people’s communes. Mao decreed that efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside should be increased. Local officials were fearful of Anti-Rightist Campaigns and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao’s exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent “surpluses” and leaving farmers to starve to death. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster which was being caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action. Millions of people died in China during the Great Leap, with estimates ranging from 15 to 55 million, making the Great Chinese Famine the largest or second-largest[1] famine in human history.

I know that may just not be true unless …. . . . I know people who have been triple vaccinated who claim they have just had Covid. However, I suspect that the Lateral Flow Test they took could not differentiate between a common cold, influenza and Covid-19 and its many and varied mutations.

Someone raised the issue of how many ships the navy has
I think I counted about 70 altogether
but James Gray the Tory MP just spoke on the radio
“The Navy has 19 OPERATIONAL ships”
19 in the Rainbow fleet?
Yes they fly the Jolly Roger-ing flag
I wonder how many of the 19 operational ships are engaged as immigrant service vessels in the English Channel.
Can I ask every reader of this site to express their personal opposition to the woke stupidity by taking up the offer of Halifax Bank and closing any accounts you might have with them.
The arrogant Social media manager Andy M posted a comment about the banks woke gender fluidity name badges saying, if you don’t like it close your accounts, and now thousands of people have taken him at his word and closed their accounts with the Halifax, including me.
This is a chance to send a message to arrogant big business that their customers will not stand for their leftist politicing.
Make a stand go woke go broke !

There is an online complaints ‘ form – it takes about 5 minutes to complete – the response is 1 to 8 weeks – submitted if only as an indication of feeling …
Lloyds bank – the parent company also has a streak of nonsense wokeness – which is reflected in the share price ..
That’s not true
They reply tweet every hour

but they haven’t made any PR tweet for 48 hours
Halifax is part of Lloyds Banking Group. So, other companies which presumably do not want the custom of ordinary people and would want them to close their accounts include:
Lloyds Bank
Bank of Scotland
MBNA
Birmingham Midshires
Intelligent Finance
Scottish Widows

TWatO Watch #1 – in which the defective Dymond does not make a bid for Journalist of the Year
Discussing the unfortunate Mr Pincher (and ‘Take an Incher’) who is just in the unfortunate position of being over-fond of Al Keyhole and something else. Thangam Debbonaire MP (Lab) is brought on by the BBC to comment first. She is full of anti Conservative Party anger (tick) and mentions the PM’s rule breaking (tick) and ‘Tory sleaze’ (tick) and the Conservative Whip should be withdrawn from Mr Pincher (tick) and that Mr Pincher should resign his seat (tick) thereby creating a By-election opportunity (tick). Thangam generally fulfils, no doubt, the BBC’s Great Expectations and hopes.
However, if the doubly unfortunate Christopher Pincher had been a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party, there would I suggest not have been a Conservative MP queuing up to criticise and call for this and that. And the same would apply if he had been a LibDem MP or a SNP MP or a Plaid Cymru MP. After day, I would expect the BBC to lose interest if they are that supportive of the LBGTQ Community as they seem to be. Otherwise the BBC will be seen to be playing politics on behalf of the LacklustreLabour Party.
Surprisingly Jonny Dymond has developed amnesia and completely forgets he is a BBC journalist as well as a BBC Presenter. He completely forgets to ask Thangam Debbonnaire MP (Lab) about recent and near future Court cases involving MPs from other politcal Parties. Now, there’s a thing! Emily Maitlis would not have let an opportunity like that slip for an Award at Journalist of the Year.

TWatO Watch #2 – in which the defective Dymond misses another bid for Journalist or Presenter of the Year
Do you remember the terrific fuss that the BBC made over the National Insurance increase to fund the NHS announced in the Spring Statement (Budget) by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak. The BBC’s opposition to this was really fierce and included a personal attack (also shared with leftie newspapers) on the Chancellor’s wife who is/was non-domiciled for UK tax purposes quite legally.
I do.
The BBC now seem to be joining in a campaign started by a charity ‘Kinship’ to increase Government spending and, with it, taxation. You couldn’t make it up! Talk about hypocrisy!! The leftie prints haven’t joined in yet but give them time. The BBC found a single woman (tick) who works for the NHS (double tick) who looks after her daughter’s child or children. (savings all gone, pension gone, victim – tick, tick) Jonny ‘defective’ Dymond’s memory has gone again and he completely forgets to ask questions of this poor woman.
This listener would like to know:
Is the grandmother a widow or a divorcee?
Where does the daughter live?
Why is the daughter unable to look after her children – does she have a drink or drugs or mental health problem? If the answer to that is “No.” then
Does the daughter work or is she a student?
– and more importantly –
Where is the daughter’s partner or husband and is he working, and if so, why is he not maintaining the child or children or having them live with him?
There is a terrible lack of curiosity at the BBC which at times likes to tell us that it is ‘first for news’. No journalism. No award, Jonny. “Nul points.”
Save £159 – cancel her BBC TV TAX – if she pays it!

Next we’ll be finding their fact checkers are actually misinformers.
Mrs Voter, just read a piece from somewhere out to me. Steve Wright of BBC radio fame has left the station. Apparently his boss told him they would be changing his programme. He’s only been doing it for 20 years, he must have been doing something right. Probably got Claire Balding and Stephen Fry lined up to do his job, with the occasional sports piece by Kelly Holmes.
Cannot stand Steve Wright but – your assessment is likely accurate
“American basketball star Brittney Griner has gone on trial in Russia on charges of illegal cannabis possession.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62011084
“If convicted, the 31-year-old faces up to 10 years in prison.
The US says she is being wrongfully held and should be freed. Russia denies that her detention is motivated by US-Russia tensions over the Ukraine war.
Ms Griner was detained on 17 February at a Moscow-area airport after cannabis oil was allegedly found in her luggage.
On the eve of her trial, Ms Griner’s wife Cherelle Griner, told CNN the Biden’s administration had not done enough to bring her partner home.”
The more I see of Russia the more I like!
Non of this new world order legalising cannabis malarkey, seeing it as a useful chemical cosh to neuter the population.
In this case it’s used as cheating, performance-enhancing drug, a pain killer enabling athletes to train harder.
Yes, the Halifax. I can only assume that the high-ups in every organisation in this country have been jabbed with some Woke -type virus that disables rational thought. I hope their customers and the customers of all of these companies take their business elsewhere. Sadly, I think that this onslaught will only get worse. Who needs the Taliban or 1984 when we’ve already got it. Still, we soldier on and fight it, that’s all you can do.

So two cases in Canada
#1 Jordan Peterson is unable to tweet
cos on June 22nd he tweeted about the doctor of someone who now identifies as male
“the doctor cut off HER breasts”
The Twitter police sat on that for one week and then locked Peterson’s account
Apparently on the grounds JP has dome a hate crime against trans cos he failed to say “the doctor cut off HIS breasts”
#2 Similarly Tamara Lich who organised the Trucker Protest crowdfunding was seized by police one week after she attended an awards ceremony that had been approved by her bail judge.
The grounds seem to be that her original bail terms which said she was not allowed to have contact with fellow activist Tom unless her counsel was present.
And video shows when she got the award and walked back to the stage past his table she spoke about 5 words to him.
And there group photos with him and her.
Her counselors were at the event with her.
It seems she will remain in jail until her original court date on July 5th
Likewise I fear there is a good chance that Alex Belfield will be stitched up at his trial over the next 5 weeks.
He has not raped or molested anyone or barged into their home, rather he is accused of causing fear in the minds of complainants. Seemingly he never initiated the communications but felt he was responding to them making false accusations against him.
The double standard is that a police officers are allowed to make a “mistake” in illegally extending his bail or smashing their way into his house
but when he mocks them back, for doing that, that is counted as fear inducing harassment.
Belfield seems unlikely to go quietly.
He’s going to need some luck + legal skill + £££££
– it’s going to be worth following, that’s for certain.
I haven’t looked closely at the trial – there’s a jury ? = I’d wager that some effort has been put in to jury selection, given the other antics he’s had to endure.
It seems to me that anti-Trudeau protesters [planned to use this Canada Day weekend as a focus .. So Trudeau is doing pre-emptive action to dampen things down.
Hard to believe that’s Canada. I’ve lived there and have Canadian friends, they have swallowed the kool aid! Makes me sad. They don’t deserve their wonderful home.
