I’m expected to be there but you got there first; well done Emmanuel. What kept me? I was busy typing a reply to you on the Weekend Thread. When Brissles joins us in formation as your wing man, you will be Blue Leader and I’ll be Blue Three. Hopefully we can attack the Biased BBC for its Bias this week.
Where did you vanish to, Emmanuel. “Come in Blue Leader” “Have you got a problem and have returned to base?” “Come in Blue Leader”
Oh dear, I think he’s been shot down.
(10 July 1940 marked the start of the Battle of Britain as far as British historians are concerned. Just a week away from 82nd Anniversary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain)
PS: I hope our PM doesn’t take the UK into a war with Russia in order to 1. to play at being Churchill, and 2. as a distraction from the constant media attacks on him and his Government.
The “Battle of Britain” was saved by Kieth Park – an man so despised (as a dirt under the fingernails Kiwi farmer) by the nabobs of the RAF that they sent him to civvy street shortly after – only to call him back to sort out the miserable RAF clusterfuck at Malta.
Up2.
I’m still here.
Just having a little fun.
(Most will now be wondering what’s this all about)
On GB News they are discussing if the whole of the UK should vote on a Scottish independence referendum.
For me it’s a definite no.
It should be Scotlands choice.
They might try to use it as a precedent by offering the whole of the EU a vote if a Country wants to leave or if we were to hold a referendum to rejoin if we get a labour government.
Sorry U2 Green, no Blue, ok back to Green Leader – spot of fuel leakage on the runway, ground crew arrived with a big screwdriver so a bit of a jump start (!). You’re in my sights now………………
Half jokingly, I think we English should have a vote on the separation of Scotland and England. If we English were given a say, how would the Scottish react – they may realise that their interference in English affairs is not wanted especially by Nicola Sturgeonand Ian Blackford. The Scots may also realise they would lose all their extra funding from the Barnett formula and realise that the EU doesn’t want the to subsidise them either. It may make those supporting the SNP recalculate their future.
The destiny of Scotland is up to the Scottish people. But if an independence vote is held and they vote to remain, then the matter should then be put to the other countries in the United Kingdom i.e a referendum with the question ‘Do you wish for Scotland to remain within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?’. Implicit within this is some renegotiation of the terms of the union e.g. the scrapping of the Barnett formula.
What about Endland having its own Parliament as does Scorland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Westminster is for the whole of the Unted Kingdom, but not specifically for England.
Uppers, we mentioned Stanford-Tuck last w/e, and I think the pub you mentioned could be the one south of Biggin Hill, where the signatures of all the pilots are still on a blackboard! It’s somewhere around Westerham or Sundridge! (The Wheatsheaf ?)
In ‘Fly for your life’, there’s a picture of Galland in a white roll-neck sweater – they became good mates after WW2!
There are lots of RAF faces here…
Sailor Malan was a Rhodesian, and good boxer and rugby player I seem to remember!
Scrobie, oops, sorry southern African then. Can’t remember where the ‘Sailor’ soubriquet came from. Think that’s what I went to look up on the internet.
I think Stanford-Tuck may have been a godfather to one of Adolf Galland’s sprogs. Only read the Wiki yesterday and already I cannot remember.
Galland also invited Douglas Bader to a reunion of former Luftwaffe pilots in Munich.
Upon walking in and seeing the assembled veterans, Bader exclaimed, “My God, I had no idea we left so many of you bastards alive!”
Uppers and Trickers, I’ve read that book (Fly for your life) about six times, and may well read it again soon – it’s marvellous!
I was about twelve when my dear sister bought it for my dad, and I gave it to someone, and really wish I hadn’t…
KCC library, here I come again…
Tally Ho!
(Bader and Stanford-Tuck weren’t the best of mates, and while they were in the same Stalag 3 together, I think they were so different/similar, they just would never ever get on)!
Loobyloo
It’s the usual suspect ” Muslim terrorist ” just going about their calling to murder as many white Europeans as possible…..still waiting for Muslim to be mentioned…..probably will be in BBC local news in a few days and then disappear !
And now back to other events ‘ Allo ‘ Allo on Yesterday…pity that’s BBC owned
Twitter discussion tells me that the BBC media centre told all the papers that Monday’s radio4 drama is about “Severus” is the “little told tale of the time that the United Kingdom (as we know it now) had black rulers.”
Then after a backlash stealth edited the page to say he was Libyan
(that’s like saying Joanna Lumley is Indian, cos she was born there)
That comes from BBC Guardianland people mixing stuff up and asserting that anyone born is Africa is BLACK.
Sure Saharan Africans used to be almost always black unless they were Arabs,
but northern Africans in Roman Times were Berbers or European colonialists.
One reply said “Severus was not black.
This is uncontroversial and the description of him as black can only have been used in order to knowingly mislead”
… https://www.twitter.com/Klaus_Arminius/status/1542110270197211136
The Twitter label says “sensitive material”
That is rubbish cos it is merely a screenshot of the ORIGINAL BBC page, I guess someone who wants it hidden has used a trick of falsely reporting it to twitter as offensive.
History Debunked says Severus was from a settler family : Roman mother and Phoenician father
ie “Italian mother and Lebanese father” in modern terms
.. https://youtu.be/kXBH6XLp3c4
The technique, which also applies to most of what the BBC does, was explained perfectly by Theodore Dalrymple:
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. “
pug, bit grey on my screen. If he presented in A&E looking like that, Dr Snuffy would admit him straight away and get him hooked up to a heart monitor.
As they continue to do-with giving the audiance a black Ann Bolyn! One has to ask as to who they think they are kidding? But of course the powers that are know full well who they are kidding. If it were possible the BBC should be shut down and never be allowed to raise its hypocritical head again. Those who agree raise your hands ……………., brilliant.
Ah … Google look like they’re shaping up to to do some cyber warfare on erm… “protecting the reproductive rights of American women…”
A cynic might expect that there’ll be an Android update and Google will eat some revenues from providing anonymised location data to advertising data aggregators …
Betcha it’ll all be rolled out before November mid term elections – see:
The BBC version has a 34th entry: ‘Undeclared Interests’. This is where they run a story without declaring their own involvement or connection to the participants. For example, a story features someone described as ‘an ordinary mum’. Two minutes investigation reveals that she is, for example, a Labour Party activist married to a BBC employee.
Of course it is 100% racism against white people and their history. It is so improbable that such history could be altered, let alone the fact that most Black people in those periods of history were still living amonsgt their tribes in Africa and knew absolutely zero of British History, but how now they love to ingratiate themselves into a civilisation that was eons ahead of them-the traitorous Media et al are seemingly intent in destroying Western culture and its history.
Daily Mail has several photos on line of Muslim women in Copenhagen running away from the shopping centre and informs us the rifle used in the killings isthe type traditionally used in Nordic sports. At the end of the article is a photo, after arrest of the Muslim man arrested for murders in Norway. I am sure there is a subliminal message but I am not sure what it is. Either the DM is hinting that it is a man of nordic heritage who has carried out the murders, or an Islamic terrorist in response to how his Norwegian brother has been treated.
I suppose that they are trying their damnedest to rule it out ? The image shown doesn’t look like one of the usual “men”
Why is the gunman/woman referred to a “shooter”
Their whole ideology offends me-in fact having experienced these individuals in West Africa and their political ideology and disgusting antics, I should now not be surprised of such actions from the loathsome BBC.
Not much coverage of Muslim Russian mercenaries called about ‘ Alan’s snack bar ‘ when they destroyed and took a Ukrainian town – no ‘holy war ‘ then ….
The last report on the Norway shooting given to me by google was:
‘Oslo shooting: Norway attack being treated as Islamist terrorism, police say’
Then it appears they dropped it completely. As soon as it was announced as a Muslim.
Watch this one if it’s ‘far right’ : I guarantee it will have several follow on articles including the life-story and internet history of the guy who did it – along with a few 100% empathy pieces for those who got shot (all with links to the main stories about him being ‘far-right’).
The most extreme of double standards. It shows it for certain that the BBC reports are all about agenda : the people who got killed are not important. They are tools.
I can’t believe Starmer and growler would have made such commitments if they weren’t sure of the loyalty of the Durham police. We all know our police are highly politicised these days as we slowly drift towards Leftist fascism.
It will be extremely entertaining if he is fined though. I wouldn’t put a straight refusal to resign past either of them. Then the BBC will be telling us it’s not really a resigning matter after all and they will never go near the subject again.
Never has a picture of an alleged perpetrator been published so fast by the BBC and never have the words Terrorism and Terrorist featured so heavily in a report.
Pictures accompanying the story show ladies in Hajib being comforted.
Without being cynical and whilst expressing complete disgust at what appears to be a senseless shooting by an idiot the BBC wouldn’t be giving it the coverage they are if it was a suspected Islamic “attack”.
They are waiting on the edge of their seats for the call to confirm he is Far-Right then it will be on the news site in minutes.
Contrast it with the bad news stories they DON’T want us to know about – when the killer is black or Muslim. The names and other details are often hidden for 24-48 hours to let the story die down a bit first.
Yes the theory that censorship is applied to Islamic terrorism but not other forms applies here … the race / Muslim victim industry will be making appearance Money telling punters the usual lies – the usual list will be used to prove that something must be done – more laws more loss of freedom …
….unusually the BBC news is leading with this now ‘old ‘ story about ‘Europe ‘…. Not the usual practice when the killers are Muslim ….
Elsewhere Starmer is due to give an EU speech . What’s the betting there will be no questions about beergate at all ….
Taffman – seems so – and not a ‘terrorist attack ‘- which obviously it was – as well as mass murder . States ‘ media have a a very warped use of language these days …
And how quickly will this event disappear …?
Muslims as victims means it might run until tomorrow to distract from beer gate
But look at the BBC treatment of this one !!. It’s getting the full works with the ‘live update’ page they run for agenda-based stories where they can keep the story current all day long.
Why would a story which is basically over warrant a special live-update page ?. Would thay have done this if he was not white and they are hoping for a ‘far-right’ label from the police ?.
For comparison, the Oslo Muslim shooting was just 2 articles as far as I can tell with google : one standard one for the event and one about the memorial service for maximum empathy. It had 2 dead and 21 injured compared to 3 dead and 4 injured for this one.
If starmer / growler have a super injunction in place then any press conferences or questions to socialists by the media will be less than honest .
It really will take a brave MP to use parliamentary privilege to challenge this stink . And if it is all untrue it can be said so there …
But if starmer gets a ticket – appeals it – and wins – will he admit it ? How will the public respond ? To me he will appear as dirty as nut nut – but a bit more so because of his high ‘moral stance ‘
Even the use of a super injunction by a politician should be enough to end them – particularly in thr eyes of their constuents …

On Toady around 0740 Mischal ‘useless’ Hussein ‘interviews’ the chair of the Environment Agency quango.
You might have expected an easy chat between fellow travellers.
But despite Mischal’s best softball questions, Emma hyphen-hyphen’s replies represented the absolute peak of clueless apparatchik cliche-filled, Dalek- delivered management speak. Print off your bulls***-bingo card, sit down with a coffee and get ready for a full house.
Priceless.
But of course away from the hilarity we have here another example of the ‘talent’ that runs the country, untouchable, unaccountable, and rubbish.
They are now on their way back from Doncaster heading east
The police are being disruptive by refusing to let anyone leave the motorway (protester or otherwise )
I got on the pushbike and went to show support
I got there around 9 and didn’t see anything
cos the protest only took place from 7:30am to 9am
So hadn’t come up as far as the junction I was at.
I saw some empty trucks, perhaps they were coming back.
YouTube shows a double lane of traffic about a mile long.

The 9am local radio news had found a voice to air that emphatically said her trucking org didn’t agree with the protest
She @LesleyOBrienOBE is well outside our area cos she’s based in Bradford
She is also a diversity rights activist so probably a friend of the black presenter

Politicians coming out with their own jokes edition
The BBC online press review has been on a winning streak of promoting anti-Boris paydirt headlines these past days and weeks.
Whatever the national title – be it left-leaning tabloid, liberal-minded broadsheet – sometimes even metropolitan giveaway advertiser – in fact lately it’s whoever comes up with the pithiest PM-slammer tends to win the accolade of top spot for our BBC.
Slight departure this morning as the Beeb headline snippet: Rebel plot to oust PM – at first glance seems absent from the daily national headlines. The BBC playbook suggests that line ought to be somewhere front and centre on the frontpage of the ‘i’ newspaper as that organ sits proud at the top of the press pile.
Insider Tory plots aside the ‘i’ screamer headline goes with putative public opinion: Poll blow to Johnson as new Pincher claims made
PM joked ‘Pincher by name, pincher by nature’ (freebie Metro) – play fair, Boris. If politicians are going to do their own gags the political sketch writers may as well give up and go home. Not that Boris comes over as much of a John Crace of the Guardian or Quentin Letts of the Times – with broad material like that he’s more a Roy Chubby Brown of the working mens clubs circuit. It wouldn’t surprise us in the least to see Boris come out next time to face Laura Kuenssberg wearing a baggy patchwork suit Carrie has run up at home on her sowing machine and an old time leather flying helmet. I digress.
One has to revert to the small print on the cover of the ‘i’ and focus on one of their trademark copious daily public sector managerial training course-style bullet points for a somewhat convoluted reference to the BBC’s cherished rebel plot to oust PM quote: Rebels tell i the PM’s handling of groping claims against Chris Pincher may lead more MPs to back a party rule change which would bring forward another no-confidence vote
That rastafarian-like phrasing so-and-so tells inever fails to win a smile
Meanwhile the left-leaning ‘i’ shows it’s still proud of its former coronaphobic Lockdown-philic tendencies: From banana bread to jigsaws, what’s become of our lockdown loves?
Certain sections of society loved it and would no doubt be more than happy to go there again – but it was 70s rockers The Who, who speak for many of us now when they formerly asserted We don’t get fooled again
Not intentionally apropos of lockdown the arts section featuring Peter Brook in the Telegraph reflects on: The nemesis of middle-class theatre
We alight on the formerly patriotic Times for the origins of that BBC quote extracted with such obvious delight for the first punch in their regular daily double-kicker intro to the print press: Newspaper headlines: Rebel plot to oust PM and 22,000 accused roam free – says the BBC.
Sex scandal revitalises rebel plot to topple PM. Growing anger over handling of groping claims (Times) – stand back for a moment and admire the glaring disconnect between Westminster bubble hacks and their faux perturbance over Boris’s supposed bad management of one of their number being a little too out and proud this Pride month – and on the other hand the general public more angry over the PM’s cack-handed handling of REAL bloody issues…. one could begin with the failing justice system as highlighted in the Daily Mail headline with 22,000 villains on the loose or the econony, botched Brexit, hyper-immigration, law and order, housing, inflation…
The old Labour Daily Mirror apparently has no liberal reservations when it comes to damning the Tory elite’s libertine tendencies: You don’t know what decent is
The Guardian, being the Guardian, is more interested non-specific scare-words and in process above all else: PM accused of failure to heed ‘abuse’ warnings
The Bible tells us: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Ah, those rumours of war…
Pro-Ukraine forces in our media have battled hard over the weekend to fend off what they paint as Russian claims to have captured another vital city. Our BBC have contested the reported loss street by street. This morning our brave dogged diehards of the BBC have finally been obliged to raise the white flag: Ukraine confirms Russia captured eastern city Lysychansk (BBC)
The Times remains somewhat behind the times in admitting the truth due perhaps to time of going to press they didn’t yet get the message: Ukrainian stronghold has fallen, say invaders
The Telegraph steps bravely out of line this morning being far from sanguine about the way things are going: Russian takes entire Luhansk region
You will remember those bad old days when our unfeeling, bigoted press ran headlines which revealled the nature of their narrow Little-Englander outlook – headlines such as Peruvian earthquake: no Britons hurt
Well, one can’t help but feel there’s something of the kind inherent in this from the Guardian this morning: Several killed in Denmark gun attack… police said… “terrorism” could not be ruled out
That would be interesting Tomo, but maybe just maybe the traitor Blair will be executed (from public viewing) before such a terrible disaster takes place. However when one has been Knighted, and made a member of the Garter, one could hardly expect to be an MP, however on the other hand in T Blairs case …….
Let’s face it – the present Labour party are an utter mess – the “Conservatives” are trying to converge on that position and the MSM tow them from one farcical debacle to another.
Like him or loathe him Blair has conceit, chutzpah , arrogance and ambition near entirely absent in the rest of the Labour Party – that’s not a compliment – merely an observation that he is dangerous and very obviously still has an appetite for power.
I don’t see anybody in the present Labour Party that could argue their way out of a paper bag. Blair + chums imho loaded our institutions with fellow travellers and bureaucratic allegiances that we are still dealing with…. a decade++ later.
The Labour Party with some minor rebranding can be sold to the voting oiks by the BBC and MSM – welcome to the era of the UniParty.
Look, we have to give credit where it’s due. The BBC have been quick out of the blocks in exposing the ethnicity of the Copenhagen shooter, along with contemplating the reasons for the atrocity. There’s been no prevaricating, no trying to cloud the issue, they were straight to the point. This was a white man! Hats off to them…
I do recall however, they’ve been slightly less robust in the past when struggling to identify either the race, creed or religion of some recent similar events. I can’t think why…
We’ve had the dubious “Norwegian national”… the infamous “drug abuser”…the very vague, “man”…and perhaps my favourite, the “careless driver” who was responsible for mowing people down outside Parliament.
The BBC kept the careless driving spiel going for a fortnight, by which time most of us had lost interest and it got buried under an avalanche of other “news”.
TOADY Watch #1 – in which, again, Nick Robinson again breaks the number 1 rule for Radio Presenters … again
The number 1 rule for Radio Presenters is ‘Do not talk over an interviewee’. Nothing to do with ‘dead air’ because that is for the engineers and Studio Manager to deal with. It is slightly different for TV because the interviewee would be visible and the viewers could probably, with a bit of lip-reading, work out what the interviewee was saying during the interviewer-babble.
At 6 a.m. TOADY snarkily made reference to what no doubt will become known as ‘Pinchergate’ and the PM’s role in appointing Chris Pincher as a Deputy Party Whip with the comment to the effect “that Downing Street so far has only put up a very Junior Minister for interview” as though the PM should personally present himself for abasement and, no doubt, abuse and humiliation by the BBC.
Instead it was Will Quince MP, Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families who had to deal with over-talkative Nick Robinson over-talking him in breach of that No.1 rule for Radio Presenters. Needless to say, at the end of the interview, Nick Robinson asked Will Quince a question about the PM and Chris Pincher. The very Junior Minister was unwise. He attempted an answer.
I find it strange that Ministers and MPs in that situation do not employ the ‘Politeness Strategy’ and immediately become silent. Then when the interviewer – Nick Robinson – repeats the question to remain completely silent while mentally counting ‘One elephant, two elephants, three elephants …. ‘ and only stopping around twenty elephants [thirty seconds used to be the critical ‘dead air’ point] and saying “What was your previous question that I was replying to when you interrupted me or talked over me? May I answer that first?”
The BBC normally and constantly promote and support the LGBT Community and their ‘rights’. But that support does not seem to extend as far as Chris Pincher MP. Why not? Oh! Silly me! He was a Conservative Party MP. And Boris Johnson, belated Brexiteer, is the Prime Minister leading a Conservative Government.
We said a government cleaner who worked in Downing Street and had been surrounded by people breaking the rules had contracted Covid and died.
In fact, he worked at the Ministry of Justice.
His family was reported to have been told by medical staff that he had died from coronavirus but the post-mortem recorded hypertensive heart disease as the official cause of death.

The BBC are working very hard to keep the Copenhagen shooting story current. They have even put the picture of whitey up again just to make sure nobody misses it.
They discuss the last ‘major gun attack’ in Denmark. They tell us he was ‘a 22-year-old man opened fire on two separate occasions across the same day in Copenhagen.’.
They don’t tell us that that attack WAS a terrorist attack and quite deliberately avoid naming the man who did it. Because it was Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein. The BBC article on that one is very short in comparison.
Yes so BBC mention the 2015 attack where a MAN at attacked Krudttønden and Krystalgade
and police shot him dead
but omit his name Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein
Entire BBC paragraph https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62030919 Denmark last saw a major terror event in 2015, when two people were killed and six police officers were injured during an attack on a cultural centre and a synagogue in Copenhagen.
The gunman was later killed in a shootout with police.
BTW The media in Denmark cannot discuss names for the new attack cos the judge have forbade mentioning the name of the perp or the victims.

Sajid’s war on NHS waste is continuing in earnest. Yesterday it was revealed he’s scrapping the Chief People Officer role entirely from NHS England, meaning Prerana Issar will be the first and last person to ever collect £230,000 from the taxpayer just to ‘lead’ on diversity and inclusion. The responsibilities will taken up by existing Health Education England chief Dr Navina Evans, who inherits the glamorous new title of Chief Workforce Officer. Apparently she’ll get a “modest” boost to her existing £200,000 salary, although at least this still represents a net saving of around £200,000 to the taxpayer…

All very well and good from the Saj, although Guido’s just checked the NHS job board, and this morning they’re hiring another 8 more diversity managers on salaries up to £83,000. Again.

On the Denmark shooting and possible motive… remember the NYC subway shooting in April by Frank Robert James? 29 injured, 10 by gunshot.
The BBC’s last report was after his arrest: “No details about his alleged motive have yet been provided. According to prosecutors, he published a variety of videos online making statements about the New York City subway system, occasionally addressing New York City Mayor Eric Adams as he complained about the “homeless situation” on subway cars.”
Other sources who were interested in possible motive dug a bit deeper than the £5bn BBC, and what they found painted a different picture — James’ social media was full of homophobia, misogyny and anti-white / black / hispanic / jewish comments e.g:
— “O black Jesus, please kill all the whiteys”
— “’These white motherf—ers, this is what they do,’ he says in a video about the Ukraine invasion, claiming it presaged a black genocide in the United States.”
— “White people and black people, as we call ourselves, should not have any contact with each other.”
But the BBC stopped reporting on the Frank Robert James attack by April 15th, just three days after the shooting. Some motives are more equal than others.
Least we forget how it all works … videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …
Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”
Last week, Ofcom, another pointless so called regulator, announced it was looking at extending the amount of advertising time during TV programmes. Well an hour-long programme already has only 40 minutes run-time so what the? No, hold on, ah, of course, not adverts are they? Stupid, stupid me! More time for brain-washing us with a totally false picture of good old Blighty. They’ll be out-doing the BBC at this rate. Oh well, more work for the video’s edit function!
A blipvert is a very brief television advertisement, lasting one second.[1] The word is a portmanteau of blip, a brief sound, and advertisement.[2]
The term and concept were used in the 1985 film Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future and in Blipverts, the first episode of the 1987 science fiction television show Max Headroom. In the film and TV show, “blipverts” were new high-speed, concentrated, high-intensity television commercials lasting about three seconds. Their purpose was to prevent the channel-switching that may occur during standard-length commercials.[3] They were invented as a MacGuffin to drive the plot.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blipvert
Are we witnessing the start of mass civil disobedience over fuel prices ? The underhand process of the government recouping money through overpriced overtaxed fuel – with a sprinkle of green crap of course ..
… I can t see mr and Mrs nut nut realising the effect the crap green policies are having until people start climbing over the gates of number 10 – but then they’ll be off on the PM jet to the safety of the South West…. Sooner the better ….
Fed, thing is the oil price is only about $115 per barrel or less. The petrol and diesel fuel prices were not this high when the oil price was $130 p/b and $140 p/b and even briefly at $150+ p/b. It is not just HMTreasury making lots of money out of the fuel prices. Someone, somewhere, a lot lower down the ‘food chain’ is ripping everyone off, including – in a way – Her Majesty’s Government.
Thoughtful reporting a barrel at $380? According to Goldman – it can only be a tight calculation of opec Russia over when demand ceases due to the high cost – with Depression in non oil producing countries ….
… people paying so much for juice that it’s not worth going to work – which isn’t too far off … pay demands or not ….
BBC London News at 1:30 began with a seven minute segment on an increase in Islamophobia. Basically a series of interviews with complaining Muslims that, if it came from any other quarter, would surely be dismissed as “anecdotal evidence.”
Is this a bigger increase than the last increase? An ongoing increase with an ever-steeper curve and no upper limit?
TWatO Watch #1 – well, there will be time for him to change his mind back again, I guess
The Sucker who is in charge of the LacklustreLabour Party is about to make a major speech. Funny, I thought. I thought funny: how many times do the BBC have as first item on TOADY or TWatO (or PM and TWH, for that matter) and the News the announcement that a Conservative Prime Minister is about to make a major speech?
My guess? Not very often, if at all.
Think that may be a bit of a ‘Gotcha’!
Hilary Benn was the interviewee on this and like his Leader, he has been campaigning for another EU Referendum but he, too, has changed his mind. ‘Brexit means Brexit.’ Hilary’s father Tony Benn must be spinning in his grave with joy. It may however mean that LacklustreLabour can kiss goodbye the chance of winning the next General Election. The Liberal non-Democrats want a new EU rejoin Referendum. The SNP will be extremely unwilling to enter a 3-way Coalition Government with LacklustreLabour rejecting an EU rejoin Referendum even if Scotland has an IndyRef2 and voted Remain in the UK.
Poor old Alastair Campbell! He now may need some counselling.
The BBC will be a bit gutted, too. Yesterday marked the start of Week 5 of their campaign to re-join the EU.
Just to depress people even more on a Monday, but JP Morgan are predicting a rise in oil prices to $380 a barrel if Russia scales back production.
Libya has already significantly scaled back its own production meaning even less oil around.
This would mean a £6 per litre cost of petrol and diesel. Just to make it worse at least 3 oil refineries in Europe (Germany Austria) are closed for accidents / incidents or maintenance.
It won’t really matter about the Green agenda if prices rise this high, because people won’t be able to travel to jobs to do them.
Our country is perhaps not too bad, because we still maintain an older housing stock, but large news estates are being built without any way to get the basics of lifes essentials without access to private transport. No shops,, no pubs, no public transport, absolutely nothing.
Even where I live it’s not really practical to walk to a supermarket and back with groceries. This to me is where the whole aggressive violent Green lobby case falls down.
They insist we don’t drive, they are not helping in any way by making driving less a neccesity.
New planning is needed to make it possible to have at least a small shop within easy access of all new build estates, and easy access to public transport to get to out of town shopping centres which again are difficult to access without private transport.
Make lives easier instead of the usual Socialist oppression and aggression and violence.
BBC commentators just can’t bring themselves to condemn the behaviour of oafish Aussie Nick Kyrgios because. . . well, I think we know why.
He’s behaving himself at the moment, one set down to American Brandon Nakashima.

On GB News they are discussing if the whole of the UK should vote on a Scottish independence referendum.
For me it’s a definite no.
It should be Scotlands choice.
They might try to use it as a precedent by offering the whole of the EU a vote if a Country wants to leave or if we were to hold a referendum to rejoin if we get a labour government.

Half jokingly, I think we English should have a vote on the separation of Scotland and England. If we English were given a say, how would the Scottish react – they may realise that their interference in English affairs is not wanted especially by Nicola Sturgeonand Ian Blackford. The Scots may also realise they would lose all their extra funding from the Barnett formula and realise that the EU doesn’t want the to subsidise them either. It may make those supporting the SNP recalculate their future.

The destiny of Scotland is up to the Scottish people. But if an independence vote is held and they vote to remain, then the matter should then be put to the other countries in the United Kingdom i.e a referendum with the question ‘Do you wish for Scotland to remain within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?’. Implicit within this is some renegotiation of the terms of the union e.g. the scrapping of the Barnett formula.

Twitter discussion tells me that the BBC media centre told all the papers that Monday’s radio4 drama is about
“Severus” is the “little told tale of the time that the United Kingdom (as we know it now) had black rulers.”
Then after a backlash stealth edited the page to say he was Libyan
(that’s like saying Joanna Lumley is Indian, cos she was born there)
That comes from BBC Guardianland people mixing stuff up and asserting that anyone born is Africa is BLACK.
Sure Saharan Africans used to be almost always black unless they were Arabs,
but northern Africans in Roman Times were Berbers or European colonialists.
One reply said “Severus was not black.
This is uncontroversial and the description of him as black can only have been used in order to knowingly mislead”

The technique, which also applies to most of what the BBC does, was explained perfectly by Theodore Dalrymple:
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. “

The BBC version has a 34th entry: ‘Undeclared Interests’. This is where they run a story without declaring their own involvement or connection to the participants. For example, a story features someone described as ‘an ordinary mum’. Two minutes investigation reveals that she is, for example, a Labour Party activist married to a BBC employee.

Of course it is 100% racism against white people and their history. It is so improbable that such history could be altered, let alone the fact that most Black people in those periods of history were still living amonsgt their tribes in Africa and knew absolutely zero of British History, but how now they love to ingratiate themselves into a civilisation that was eons ahead of them-the traitorous Media et al are seemingly intent in destroying Western culture and its history.

Daily Mail has several photos on line of Muslim women in Copenhagen running away from the shopping centre and informs us the rifle used in the killings isthe type traditionally used in Nordic sports. At the end of the article is a photo, after arrest of the Muslim man arrested for murders in Norway. I am sure there is a subliminal message but I am not sure what it is. Either the DM is hinting that it is a man of nordic heritage who has carried out the murders, or an Islamic terrorist in response to how his Norwegian brother has been treated.

The last report on the Norway shooting given to me by google was:
‘Oslo shooting: Norway attack being treated as Islamist terrorism, police say’
Then it appears they dropped it completely. As soon as it was announced as a Muslim.
Watch this one if it’s ‘far right’ : I guarantee it will have several follow on articles including the life-story and internet history of the guy who did it – along with a few 100% empathy pieces for those who got shot (all with links to the main stories about him being ‘far-right’).
The most extreme of double standards. It shows it for certain that the BBC reports are all about agenda : the people who got killed are not important. They are tools.

I can’t believe Starmer and growler would have made such commitments if they weren’t sure of the loyalty of the Durham police. We all know our police are highly politicised these days as we slowly drift towards Leftist fascism.
It will be extremely entertaining if he is fined though. I wouldn’t put a straight refusal to resign past either of them. Then the BBC will be telling us it’s not really a resigning matter after all and they will never go near the subject again.

For comparison, the Oslo Muslim shooting was just 2 articles as far as I can tell with google : one standard one for the event and one about the memorial service for maximum empathy. It had 2 dead and 21 injured compared to 3 dead and 4 injured for this one.

Politicians coming out with their own jokes edition
The BBC online press review has been on a winning streak of promoting anti-Boris paydirt headlines these past days and weeks.
Whatever the national title – be it left-leaning tabloid, liberal-minded broadsheet – sometimes even metropolitan giveaway advertiser – in fact lately it’s whoever comes up with the pithiest PM-slammer tends to win the accolade of top spot for our BBC.
Slight departure this morning as the Beeb headline snippet: Rebel plot to oust PM – at first glance seems absent from the daily national headlines. The BBC playbook suggests that line ought to be somewhere front and centre on the frontpage of the ‘i’ newspaper as that organ sits proud at the top of the press pile.
Insider Tory plots aside the ‘i’ screamer headline goes with putative public opinion: Poll blow to Johnson as new Pincher claims made
PM joked ‘Pincher by name, pincher by nature’ (freebie Metro) – play fair, Boris. If politicians are going to do their own gags the political sketch writers may as well give up and go home. Not that Boris comes over as much of a John Crace of the Guardian or Quentin Letts of the Times – with broad material like that he’s more a Roy Chubby Brown of the working mens clubs circuit. It wouldn’t surprise us in the least to see Boris come out next time to face Laura Kuenssberg wearing a baggy patchwork suit Carrie has run up at home on her sowing machine and an old time leather flying helmet. I digress.
One has to revert to the small print on the cover of the ‘i’ and focus on one of their trademark copious daily public sector managerial training course-style bullet points for a somewhat convoluted reference to the BBC’s cherished rebel plot to oust PM quote: Rebels tell i the PM’s handling of groping claims against Chris Pincher may lead more MPs to back a party rule change which would bring forward another no-confidence vote
That rastafarian-like phrasing so-and-so tells i never fails to win a smile
Meanwhile the left-leaning ‘i’ shows it’s still proud of its former coronaphobic Lockdown-philic tendencies: From banana bread to jigsaws, what’s become of our lockdown loves?
Certain sections of society loved it and would no doubt be more than happy to go there again – but it was 70s rockers The Who, who speak for many of us now when they formerly asserted We don’t get fooled again
Not intentionally apropos of lockdown the arts section featuring Peter Brook in the Telegraph reflects on: The nemesis of middle-class theatre
We alight on the formerly patriotic Times for the origins of that BBC quote extracted with such obvious delight for the first punch in their regular daily double-kicker intro to the print press: Newspaper headlines: Rebel plot to oust PM and 22,000 accused roam free – says the BBC.
Sex scandal revitalises rebel plot to topple PM. Growing anger over handling of groping claims (Times) – stand back for a moment and admire the glaring disconnect between Westminster bubble hacks and their faux perturbance over Boris’s supposed bad management of one of their number being a little too out and proud this Pride month – and on the other hand the general public more angry over the PM’s cack-handed handling of REAL bloody issues…. one could begin with the failing justice system as highlighted in the Daily Mail headline with 22,000 villains on the loose or the econony, botched Brexit, hyper-immigration, law and order, housing, inflation…
The old Labour Daily Mirror apparently has no liberal reservations when it comes to damning the Tory elite’s libertine tendencies: You don’t know what decent is
The Guardian, being the Guardian, is more interested non-specific scare-words and in process above all else: PM accused of failure to heed ‘abuse’ warnings
The Bible tells us: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Ah, those rumours of war…
Pro-Ukraine forces in our media have battled hard over the weekend to fend off what they paint as Russian claims to have captured another vital city. Our BBC have contested the reported loss street by street. This morning our brave dogged diehards of the BBC have finally been obliged to raise the white flag: Ukraine confirms Russia captured eastern city Lysychansk (BBC)
The Times remains somewhat behind the times in admitting the truth due perhaps to time of going to press they didn’t yet get the message: Ukrainian stronghold has fallen, say invaders
The Telegraph steps bravely out of line this morning being far from sanguine about the way things are going: Russian takes entire Luhansk region
You will remember those bad old days when our unfeeling, bigoted press ran headlines which revealled the nature of their narrow Little-Englander outlook – headlines such as Peruvian earthquake: no Britons hurt
Well, one can’t help but feel there’s something of the kind inherent in this from the Guardian this morning: Several killed in Denmark gun attack… police said… “terrorism” could not be ruled out
Narrow-minded, bigoted, Little-Internationalists?

Starmer’s speech will attempt to follow the advice (based on statistics) of Blair and Peter Kellner by aiming for the ‘centre ground.’ His template will no doubt be the following:

Let’s face it – the present Labour party are an utter mess – the “Conservatives” are trying to converge on that position and the MSM tow them from one farcical debacle to another.
Like him or loathe him Blair has conceit, chutzpah , arrogance and ambition near entirely absent in the rest of the Labour Party – that’s not a compliment – merely an observation that he is dangerous and very obviously still has an appetite for power.
I don’t see anybody in the present Labour Party that could argue their way out of a paper bag. Blair + chums imho loaded our institutions with fellow travellers and bureaucratic allegiances that we are still dealing with…. a decade++ later.
The Labour Party with some minor rebranding can be sold to the voting oiks by the BBC and MSM – welcome to the era of the UniParty.

Look, we have to give credit where it’s due. The BBC have been quick out of the blocks in exposing the ethnicity of the Copenhagen shooter, along with contemplating the reasons for the atrocity. There’s been no prevaricating, no trying to cloud the issue, they were straight to the point. This was a white man! Hats off to them…
I do recall however, they’ve been slightly less robust in the past when struggling to identify either the race, creed or religion of some recent similar events. I can’t think why…
We’ve had the dubious “Norwegian national”… the infamous “drug abuser”…the very vague, “man”…and perhaps my favourite, the “careless driver” who was responsible for mowing people down outside Parliament.
The BBC kept the careless driving spiel going for a fortnight, by which time most of us had lost interest and it got buried under an avalanche of other “news”.
No such problems this time…

TOADY Watch #1 – in which, again, Nick Robinson again breaks the number 1 rule for Radio Presenters … again
The number 1 rule for Radio Presenters is ‘Do not talk over an interviewee’. Nothing to do with ‘dead air’ because that is for the engineers and Studio Manager to deal with. It is slightly different for TV because the interviewee would be visible and the viewers could probably, with a bit of lip-reading, work out what the interviewee was saying during the interviewer-babble.
At 6 a.m. TOADY snarkily made reference to what no doubt will become known as ‘Pinchergate’ and the PM’s role in appointing Chris Pincher as a Deputy Party Whip with the comment to the effect “that Downing Street so far has only put up a very Junior Minister for interview” as though the PM should personally present himself for abasement and, no doubt, abuse and humiliation by the BBC.
Instead it was Will Quince MP, Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families who had to deal with over-talkative Nick Robinson over-talking him in breach of that No.1 rule for Radio Presenters. Needless to say, at the end of the interview, Nick Robinson asked Will Quince a question about the PM and Chris Pincher. The very Junior Minister was unwise. He attempted an answer.
I find it strange that Ministers and MPs in that situation do not employ the ‘Politeness Strategy’ and immediately become silent. Then when the interviewer – Nick Robinson – repeats the question to remain completely silent while mentally counting ‘One elephant, two elephants, three elephants …. ‘ and only stopping around twenty elephants [thirty seconds used to be the critical ‘dead air’ point] and saying “What was your previous question that I was replying to when you interrupted me or talked over me? May I answer that first?”
The BBC normally and constantly promote and support the LGBT Community and their ‘rights’. But that support does not seem to extend as far as Chris Pincher MP. Why not? Oh! Silly me! He was a Conservative Party MP. And Boris Johnson, belated Brexiteer, is the Prime Minister leading a Conservative Government.

The BBC are working very hard to keep the Copenhagen shooting story current. They have even put the picture of whitey up again just to make sure nobody misses it.
They discuss the last ‘major gun attack’ in Denmark. They tell us he was ‘a 22-year-old man opened fire on two separate occasions across the same day in Copenhagen.’.
They don’t tell us that that attack WAS a terrorist attack and quite deliberately avoid naming the man who did it. Because it was Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein. The BBC article on that one is very short in comparison.

Thalidomide survivors in Scotland to get lifelong support
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-62029405
In 2013 the Scottish government committed £14.2m to help survivors over a 10-year period, with the money going on health and living costs.
£14.2m / 10 = 1.4 Million / 50 = £28K
Ten Years – Most at 60 – life left to live?
…..
It’s been more than 50 years since pregnant women took thalidomide to treat morning sickness, with around 10,000 cases of birth defects attributed to its use worldwide. Decades have passed and yet the issue of financial compensation for the less than 3,000 remaining “survivors” of the tragedy has, in many instances, remained unresolved.
https://theconversation.com/why-thalidomide-survivors-have-such-a-tough-time-getting-compensation-47164
Victims of medication-related injuries face significant challenges in obtaining compensation. They include time barriers, difficulties proving the drug was responsible for the disability and obtaining sufficient evidence to prove a pharmaceutical company was negligent.

Sajid’s war on NHS waste is continuing in earnest. Yesterday it was revealed he’s scrapping the Chief People Officer role entirely from NHS England, meaning Prerana Issar will be the first and last person to ever collect £230,000 from the taxpayer just to ‘lead’ on diversity and inclusion. The responsibilities will taken up by existing Health Education England chief Dr Navina Evans, who inherits the glamorous new title of Chief Workforce Officer. Apparently she’ll get a “modest” boost to her existing £200,000 salary, although at least this still represents a net saving of around £200,000 to the taxpayer…

On the Denmark shooting and possible motive… remember the NYC subway shooting in April by Frank Robert James? 29 injured, 10 by gunshot.
The BBC’s last report was after his arrest: “No details about his alleged motive have yet been provided. According to prosecutors, he published a variety of videos online making statements about the New York City subway system, occasionally addressing New York City Mayor Eric Adams as he complained about the “homeless situation” on subway cars.”
Other sources who were interested in possible motive dug a bit deeper than the £5bn BBC, and what they found painted a different picture — James’ social media was full of homophobia, misogyny and anti-white / black / hispanic / jewish comments e.g:
— “O black Jesus, please kill all the whiteys”
— “’These white motherf—ers, this is what they do,’ he says in a video about the Ukraine invasion, claiming it presaged a black genocide in the United States.”
— “White people and black people, as we call ourselves, should not have any contact with each other.”
But the BBC stopped reporting on the Frank Robert James attack by April 15th, just three days after the shooting. Some motives are more equal than others.

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”

A blipvert is a very brief television advertisement, lasting one second.[1] The word is a portmanteau of blip, a brief sound, and advertisement.[2]
The term and concept were used in the 1985 film Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future and in Blipverts, the first episode of the 1987 science fiction television show Max Headroom. In the film and TV show, “blipverts” were new high-speed, concentrated, high-intensity television commercials lasting about three seconds. Their purpose was to prevent the channel-switching that may occur during standard-length commercials.[3] They were invented as a MacGuffin to drive the plot.[4]

TWatO Watch #1 – well, there will be time for him to change his mind back again, I guess
The Sucker who is in charge of the LacklustreLabour Party is about to make a major speech. Funny, I thought. I thought funny: how many times do the BBC have as first item on TOADY or TWatO (or PM and TWH, for that matter) and the News the announcement that a Conservative Prime Minister is about to make a major speech?
My guess? Not very often, if at all.
Think that may be a bit of a ‘Gotcha’!
Hilary Benn was the interviewee on this and like his Leader, he has been campaigning for another EU Referendum but he, too, has changed his mind. ‘Brexit means Brexit.’ Hilary’s father Tony Benn must be spinning in his grave with joy. It may however mean that LacklustreLabour can kiss goodbye the chance of winning the next General Election. The Liberal non-Democrats want a new EU rejoin Referendum. The SNP will be extremely unwilling to enter a 3-way Coalition Government with LacklustreLabour rejecting an EU rejoin Referendum even if Scotland has an IndyRef2 and voted Remain in the UK.
Poor old Alastair Campbell! He now may need some counselling.
The BBC will be a bit gutted, too. Yesterday marked the start of Week 5 of their campaign to re-join the EU.

Just to depress people even more on a Monday, but JP Morgan are predicting a rise in oil prices to $380 a barrel if Russia scales back production.
Libya has already significantly scaled back its own production meaning even less oil around.
This would mean a £6 per litre cost of petrol and diesel. Just to make it worse at least 3 oil refineries in Europe (Germany Austria) are closed for accidents / incidents or maintenance.
It won’t really matter about the Green agenda if prices rise this high, because people won’t be able to travel to jobs to do them.
Our country is perhaps not too bad, because we still maintain an older housing stock, but large news estates are being built without any way to get the basics of lifes essentials without access to private transport. No shops,, no pubs, no public transport, absolutely nothing.
Even where I live it’s not really practical to walk to a supermarket and back with groceries. This to me is where the whole aggressive violent Green lobby case falls down.
They insist we don’t drive, they are not helping in any way by making driving less a neccesity.
New planning is needed to make it possible to have at least a small shop within easy access of all new build estates, and easy access to public transport to get to out of town shopping centres which again are difficult to access without private transport.
Make lives easier instead of the usual Socialist oppression and aggression and violence.
