      I was watching Fox TV . They must have an editorial line that the US voting process is not corrupted . They think the coming elections will be properly conducted .

    Ukraine war: Ukraine and Russia both claim control over Lysychansk
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62022471

    ‘Ukraine’s eastern city of Lysychansk is at the centre of competing claims, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces saying they are in control.’

    Is that really the headline for the war ?. Come back tomorrow BBC, the Russians will have it then.

    I have to say the BBC reports on Ukraine are just appalling. They are a mish-mash of whatever snippets they can find which are positive for Ukraine and negative for Russia. The result is an incoherent jumble of facts peppered with propaganda which nobody could ever use to know what is actually going on.

    In the middle of this we have:
    ‘ … the UK Defence Ministry accuses Russia of using Soviet-era anti-ship missiles “in a secondary land attack role” – not what they were designed for.’

    From twitter I see the MOD don’t ‘accuse’ them of anything. They merely point it out as a fact. The BBC added that word.

    The bit that really WAS news for me was that Ukraine have apparently launched missiles at Belarus. But instead of asking the question if Ukraine are seeking to expand the war in their attempt to get others to join in, they merely dismiss Belarus as ‘a close ally of Russia’s Vladimir Putin and allowed Russian troops to invade Ukraine from Belarus in February.’.

    I suppose this is what you get when your staff are recruited through quotas instead of being fit to do the job.

        We are living in strange times and all the usual principles of ‘right and wrong’ have suddenly changed.

        As a species, we are exactly the same as we were before WW2 and for hundreds of years before. We might gloss it all over with a facade of civilisation, but all the instincts and human nature we evolved over countless generations to get us here in the first place do not change as quickly as that.

        The Left are a particularly good example : all their preaching of equality/tolerance etc disappears with the wind when it doesn’t suit them and they become the nastiest, most spiteful people of anyone. It’s all hypocrisy.

    Zara Aleena’s aunt wants to speak to UK leaders
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-62008828

    Here we go. Exactly as predicted. Hardly a peep and no outrage at all from the BBC or the misandrist activists until a white man was charged with it – because they thought it had a high chance a BAME did it.

    And now all of sudden we have:

    ‘Ms Naz said she wanted to bring about change following Ms Aleena’s death: “That’s what Zara was about, we have got to change something.’

    “I want to speak to the leaders of this country, I want to talk about the setting up of projects right now to prevent violence.”

    And I see elsewhere:
    ‘Hundreds of people are expected to turn out for a silent vigil for Ms Aleena on Saturday afternoon, to ‘walk her home’.’

    A bit late for that you shameless, racist hypocrites. After your silence for Sasha Johnson because you knew black men did it and dropping all interest in Sabina Nessa once you learned it was an immigrant who did it, your false outrage belongs in the rubbish along with whatever it is you call ‘ethics’.

    The BBC is busily linking the failure of self control of a queer blue labour MP with the judgement of nut nut appointing him deputy chief whip .
    I think the BBC editorial campaign to oust nut nut in order to get a Remainer PM means anything bad happening will get a nut nut link – they even have Cummings on speed dial to add extra venom to the mix …..

    … the bbc religion programme ( charter requirement ) .

    Raising the flag with street parades by the conquering forces and raining on the gay parade edition

    The experienced world-weary eye watches out for those all-important subtle little changes in the prevailing media narratives.

    This Sunday we note for the first time the BBC failing to take official Ukraine-Zelensky propaganda machine claims as the absolute unquestionable gospel: Ukraine’s eastern city of Lysychansk is at the centre of competing claims, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces saying they are in control. (BBC)

    Caught in the cleft stick of willing our good guys to be telling the truth: Ukraine says its forces are enduring intense Russian shelling there but insists the city has not been seized – and cold hard fact-checkable reality: Russian media showed videos of separatist or Russian forces apparently parading through the streets… Russian sources have also tweeted video of the Soviet flag allegedly being placed on the city’s ruined administrative centre, but that has not been verified – our BBC opts for their old time somewhat tarnished trade mark balanced approach: Ukraine war: Ukraine and Russia both claim control over Lysychansk

    From Video of: Chechen Rosgvardia troops in front of the partially destroyed City administration building in Lysychansk…. shared by defence blogger Rob Lee – looks as though the city has changed hands – to some things that never change…

    I’ve said it before but this Sunday once again I’m reminded of the hymn: Tell Me The Old Old Story… and that old story is the BBC online press review grasping for the best, most concise, most impactful, anti-Boris headline of the day as penned by a national newspaper – so we open the golden envelope, so to speak, and we find the daily award goes to: The Sunday Telegraph for their: PM ‘turned blind eye to sex pest warnings’ – bravo! Fresh allegations emerge… and goodness me, we are given to understand that that Tory MP Pincher has been – on more than one occasion – more than a little too fresh (allegedly)

    And, blow me, it had to come out in Pride month… more of that later…

    The Sunday Mirror comes in a close second in the BBC press review with an dishonourable mention, so to speak: Pestminster exclusive. Boris’ missed chances to probe Pincher – too obviously punning, hardly a real exclusive and a tad too vintage saucy picture postcard-like copy for our taste – not that we’re prudes hereabouts. Also the Mirror headline implies typical-Boris over-casual innocent blundering forgetfulness rather than the more politically damaging direct accusation of knowing malfeasance levelled at BoJo in the Telegraph’s blind eye reference.

    By the way, speaking of subtle changes in the narratives – when did Pride go predominently black?

    The Observer tells us Pride is: Proud to be back. Hollie Adams/Getty does the honours supplying the frontpage colour pic of what we’re to assume is a mixed-race lesbian jolly couple caught mid-selfie. A little bird tells me the majority of Pride marchers tend to be not gays necessarily but corporate and public sector workers brushing up on the diversity points. Closer examination of the Observer photo reveals a rainbow flag has the British Gas corporate logo – well, frack me, there’s a thing.

    The Sunday Times goes with Guy Bell/Shutterstock for their de rigueur frontpage diverse identity politics image of a black chap looking dapper in his rainbow suit and rainbow coloured umbrella – rather reminiscent of a New Orleans jazz wedding procession second line. Then the: Looks like rain-bow caption is hinting how the brolly – a symbol of southern style, femininity and grace in Louisiana – was rather a utilitarian prop on the London streets yesterday.

    Let’s all get hot and dirty (Daily Star Sunday) – but we’ve moved on from the waving it your face corporate HR department jamboree which is the Pride procession – to that near obsessive preoccupation of the tabloid title – the weather. It may have rained on the gay parade yesterday, however: Stop washing warning as bikini summer set to bring water shortages

    The Sunday People carries something of a challenge to our Boris and his bizarre claim this week that if Putin were a woman he wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine: Bad Girls. The women whose crimes guaranteed lasting infamy.

    From the likes of Clyde’s Bonnie to a former BBC bonny lass

    And in the presumably unrelated to bad girls cover story, the Sunday People Fab mag features ex-BBC Breakfast presenter Steph McGovern. One could have sworn the feature headline read: Learning how to treat my BS has changed my life – ooops, excuse us, I’ll claim dyslexia, sadly, that headline read IBS – poor lass, we do wish her well.

    I had a trip out to one of my favourite spots yesterday, Kew Gardens. It’s always lovely there, but…

    They have swallowed the Greta pill hook, line and sinker and “the climate crisis” is on full propaganda mode from the moment you walk through the gates. Here are some examples from the little leaflet you pick up on entering. ..” explore the future of food in the context of the climate and biodiversity crisis”…”How can chefs and growers transform the way we eat in the UK?”…”Future food stories reflects on one of the most underestimated consequences of the climate crisis”

    They’ve commissioned some bloke (a “recycling artist”) to knock up two massive lounging trolls made out of wood. “Thomas Dambo has created two giant trolls eating together from bins strewn with vegetables. They show us the benefits of eating together and of a plant based diet for our mental and nutritional health…” Give me a bleedin’ break…

    Even after having dragged my flabby carcass to the top of the tree top walk, where I thought I might find sanctuary, there were little signs with warnings, “Plants are flowering up to two weeks early due to global warming.”

    Apparently even the restaurants in Kew are experimenting with “sustainable food”. I didn’t venture inside, so I can’t say what that sort of “grub” was on the menu, but I’m guessing there would be lots of leaves, possibly earwigs and lightly marinated stick insects. Yummy!

    I left and got myself a nice juicy steak…

      Quite agree, Jeff!

      Lots of garden produce is early this year as we had a decent winter and a good spring! I sometimes wonder where all these useful idiots get their ideas from, because normal gardeners (ahem – Chez Scrobs) know that seasons change every year and we just accommodate the timing to suit what we grow and eat where and when we can.

      I bet if you’d gone to Kew last year, they’d have said very little as we had a lousy spring which dragged on for ages and everything was late!

      Most normal gardeners ignore the awful BBBC gardening progs these days, they’re just for snowflakes and vegans to sit and wonder at ‘diversity’ and stupid diversions from the normal act of putting real farmed food on the table!

      One of the latest – well, recent bandwagons is about the use of peat. I try and use peat as much as possible as it is a natural ground conditioner, but to read the hysterics of some commentators, you’d think the earth was folding in on itself!

      Here’s a useful explanation I found just this morning, and it makes for great reading, because it’s written by someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, not what undermanagers in W1AA have decided the populace need!

    On Toady on Sunday today, the erstwhile religious programme on The Sabbath, the Islamic Broadcasting Corporation featured an article on two celibate gay men, one of whom was Muslim. This was immediately followed by a sort of travel programme about booking difficulties for British Muslims wanting to travel to Mecca to attend the Haj.

    There being no content whatever relevant to my life as a straight white non-celibate Briton who has lived through Christian-influenced Western civilisation these past several decades, I switched off.

      There’s absolutely no reason to be proud of being a homosexual. But neither is it a matter of shame. For most people, it is a matter of supreme indifference as to what consenting adults get up to in private, as long as it’s consensual and doesn’t involve kids.

      But for anyone who does want to be truly proud:
      Take pride in self, take pride in family, take pride in nation.

    The 4 bridesmaids at the wedding of Rupert Murdoch’s granddaughter looked very nice in their slinky silky dresses and delicate high heel shoes – well, THREE of them did – the other one was a bloke. No he wasn’t in drag or wore make up, but he wore the frock, carried a bouquet and completed the look with socks and plimsolls.

    Admittedly the wedding looked a bit ‘off the wall’ with the bride not exactly looking “blushing”, but having a fair amount of tattoos and black and white hair – you get the picture.

    This has led to speculation that there may be secret court proceedings or a super injunction relating to Starmer and the Ginger Growler ….
    Not a good look for anyone if that is the case …

      Is Guido Fawkes still touting his invulnerability from UK legal action as he’s “Irish”?

    There has been a multiple shooting at a shopping mall in Copenhagen. The story is just appearing on the bbc front page . Please note the picture of distressed witnesses they choose to illustrate it. Bastards isn’t too strong a word.

    “Turkish customs authorities have detained a Russian cargo ship carrying grain which Ukraine says is stolen”

    Puppet state Ukraine seemingly determined to stop grain reaching the hungry…
    Meanwhile Putin and allied forces are freeing Ukraine from the globalists, one Oblast at a time.

    7:10pm Countryfile Tom Heap’s item on nuclear waste storage
    ‘Future is EVs, heatpumps, so UK needs more electricity’“And WE WE WE want much less fossil fuel in the mix”
    so the gov is pushing wind and solar, but you also need energy on cloudy windless days so gov is encourages nuclear BUT is nuclear that CLEAN

    That’s garbled propaganda from Heap
    .. The government’s crazy aim is low CO2 and the government believes it can get Carbon Capture to work economically
    .. If that were true you could use lots of fossil fuels cos you’d be capturing all their CO2

    Nuclear is pretty clean for each MWh generated compared to other things
    cos mining and burning other stuff like wood does actually release radioactivity.

    Heap “Nuclear doesn’t burn fossil fuels, so the energy is CLEANER”
    FFS ‘cleaner’ is a PR word it’s not scientifically definable

      I do like that idea that the Russians funded the anti nuclear movement in order to ensure more dependency on their oil and gas ….
      That’s what I’d do … same with cutting off the worlds’ food supply ( China and India get it at a discount though )…

    Gary Imlach just now on the Tour de France Highlights programme on ITV4. He explained that there’s no programme tomorrow as it’s a transfer day back to France from Denmark.
    “But if we’re not back on Tuesday, assume we’re still stuck in the queue for non-EU passport holders.”
    I’m so sick of these media types.

    Time for the New Thread – will it be the one where the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party tell their voters that they got – and contested – a Covid Fixed Penalfy Notice ?

    Or is Twitter the usual hot air ….

    Copenhagen shooting, no description of killer yet. Another “man”.

    They will never learn so I guess they get what they deserve.

    How much longer must the West put up with this shit to verify their inclusivity?

    It’s costing lots of innocent lives now!

    I hate them and their blindfolded “right-on”stupidity! They are as guilty of the murder as the perpetrator.

    FDA/Pfizer, wanted to keep data on their vaccine hidden for 75 years. A court forced them to release the data in batches. Why aren’t you investigating ?
