Here is the Indian News Channel Gravitas observing how childish Boris the Socialist and the other loons at the G7 which as others have observed appears to refer to the number of brain cells they share.
These fantasy land dwellers are going to potentially take us into a world war against Russia and possibly China as well, and they are unfit all of them for the offices they hold.
They have between them been led by the criminal Biden and his mafia like Democrat party, many of which are likely to be facing serious criminal investigation come November. They have between them managed to screw up massively over the covid pandemic; destroy the worlds economy; introduce massive inflationary pressures; starve half the globe; and in certain European countries place themselves in such a vulnerable position that millions may die, and their economy be reduced to virtually nothing.
Yet even amidst this kind of socio economic wreckage they are still firmly in the fantasy bubble, attempting to destroy what ever provision might be made to offset their looming catastrophe.
A few posters on this site have mentioned the term “Black Washed”, well how about this for balancing things out, take a look at the photos here – “White Washed”?
& What about those “men” then?………………..

Why is the BBC suddenly running the case of the raped girl told by police “go home, you’re drunk” and then handed to a string of rapists ?
Two weeks ago people like Steyn, and Belfield immediately picked that case out of the Oldham grooming report.

– the Summer Edition of their dead tree magazine has the privatisation of the BBC down as a done deal….
Don’t get exited because Starmer says he will not rejoin the eu, the single market or the customs union.
They lie, all of them.
All this carrie on about a bit of drunken groping.
I wonder what would happen if, for example, tens of thousands of little girls were being gangbanged by dirty old men which is obviously far far worse.
Mark Rutte PM of The Netherlands – who’s a diligent little errand boy then?
Delivered with the sincerity and skill of a ‘Biden ‘… just read what’s on the paper – we will do the resht my dutsh colluegue
He didnt understand most of those words.
How do I as a voter or citizen hold the WEF to account, or vote them out of power if I don’t like their policies?
Who is responsible when (not if) those policies fail?
If the Dutch PM needs to use the policies of other people, why is he even in politics himself if he does have policies of his own?
Thoughtful,
The WEF is becoming more prominent in the last year or so . I expect that this is because they have now so many political leaders in positions of power who are their ‘graduates’, or perhaps more accurately members of the cult. It seems a sinister organisation which , as you say above, is unelected and unaccountable but seems to have leaders of Western countries in its pocket.
It’s leader Klaus Schwab has publicly stated that it is the WEF that makes decisions which governments follow. Is there any doubt that we are entering the post democratic age?
I think that it ought to be a requirement that any politician standing for elected office should declare if they are members of the WEF. Indeed perhaps membership of WEF ought to ban them from holding elected office. Of course if we are already beyond democracy this will never happen.
Certainly it would be of great interest if there was a list of all those Western politicians who were members of the WEF. We know that Cameron was, Trudeau is, Ahern is , Macron is .
The BBC campaiging for Starmer and Labour wth a complete lie….
‘Why Labour’s leader has made peace with Brexit’
‘The man who dreamed of overturning Brexit in a second referendum has categorically and clearly made peace with it.
It is one heck of an about-turn from Sir Keir Starmer, who just three years ago turned up at a rally for what was called a People’s Vote – another referendum in which he hoped for a Remain victory.
Now, he says, as prime minister he wouldn’t advocate rejoining the European Union, nor sign up to three of its biggest ideas: the single market, the customs union or freedom of movement.
In other words, Sir Keir is not just accepting Brexit, but what many critics liked to call a “hard Brexit”, when arguing that staying in the EU or having a closer relationship with it was preferable to the government’s vision.’
We all know that is utter rubbish….Starmer would waste not one second if he were installed in No10 in rejoining the EU one way or another…..but Chris Mason thinks it’s all genuine….whilst admitting it’s all fake…merely a ploy to get Brexit voters on-board…lol.
‘The party will hope that its unambiguous acceptance of Brexit will ensure it can get a hearing again, for what Sir Keir wants to set out next; his broader economic vision.’
And they call Boris a liar.
And good to hear Nick Robinson state that ‘Brexit is bad for Britain’….unequivocably yesterday.

So it’s a matter for the police of you are simply ‘inappropriate’ now. A very subjective term because it doesn’t mean you said anything which is not true – just that someone was offended by it.
Its all interesting because this is exactly how fascism works. Small steps until nobody dare speak out any more.
We are Socialists, enemies, mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, with its injustice in wages, with its immoral evaluation of individuals according to wealth and money instead of responsibility and achievement, and we are determined under all circumstances to abolish this system! And with my inclination to practical action it seems obvious to me that we have to put a better, more just, more moral system in its place, one which, as it were, has arms and legs and better arms and legs than the present one!
Gregor Strasser One of Hitlers right hand men and leading member of the Nazi Party until his murder in the night of the long knives.

Shireen Abu Aqla: US releases result of test on bullet that killed reporter
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-62035815
This story has degenerated into the usual farce we get when the Left and Muslims mix together.
First I don’t believe for one second the bullet was too badly damaged to even work out what calibre it would likely have been. Why is their no picture or anything ?. Who’s to say it’s even the original bullet ?.
Then we get :
‘ … the UN’s human rights office, as well as eyewitnesses and journalistic investigations, have concluded that Israeli soldiers were responsible.’
Every single one of them on the Palestinian side of the divide of course.
Will they now give the bullet to Israel for their investigation ?. Of course they won’t. They even insisted Israel were not allowed any involvement whatsoever. Which tells me everything I need to know.
And of course there is no doubt whatsoever which side the BBC are favouring in this report. The terrorists.
The state of the bullet doesn’t matter, think of the magic bullet that killed Kennedy and injured Connely and was found almost pristine and new on a stretcher. The bullet is a distraction that’ll do whatever is necessary to make the enemy whoever the ptb thinks should be the enemy. I’ll go get my tin foil hat now.
‘Dutch farmers angry at government plans to slash emissions used tractors and trucks Monday to block roads and supermarket distribution centers, sparking fears of store food shortages in the latest actions through a summer of discontent in the country’s lucrative agricultural sector.
The Netherlands’ busiest aviation hub, Schiphol Airport, urged travelers to use public transport to get to its terminals amid fears that the blockades also would target airports. Fishermen acting out of solidarity with farmers also blocked a number of harbors.’
Farmers and fishermen in the Netherlands rise up in protest about government green legislation and…..er….tumbleweed on the BBC.
I can’t see any story on the website about this…but you can guarantee that if it were XR or somesuch group the BBC would be giving them huge publicity and cheerleading their cause….and of course they target the Kids…Newsbeat….
‘Just Stop Oil: Activists says they have ‘a duty to protest”
‘”I found myself feeling just so completely and utterly helpless, and realised I had to take action.”
Claudia Penna Rojas became a part of climate activist group Just Stop Oil in February.
You might know them for their protest actions which have included tying themselves to football goalposts, climbing on oil tankers and stopping traffic.’
Naturally it’s all backed up by ‘the Science’….
‘Many of the impacts of global warming are now simply “irreversible”, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with their scientific reports being described as “a code red for humanity” by the UN Secretary General António Guterres.’

‘Police say’…..hmmm….you can hear the shot….the officer in the car states shots were fired…and a CCTV camera apparently shows the muzzleflash…and a gun was found….
‘US police have released video of a chase in Akron, Ohio, which ended in a black man being shot dead, hit more than 60 times by pursuing officers.
Police say they believe Jayland Walker, 25, opened fire first and officers feared for their lives during the night-time traffic stop on 27 June.’
The BBC not making much of the BLM ‘protests’ causing mayhem…but do note…
‘A lawyer for Mr Walker’s family said officers had kept firing even after he was on the ground.
Derrick Johnson, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, described Mr Walker’s death as “murder. Point blank”.’
As long as the decisions are the correct ones then BBC don’t care …. but when they are the wrong ones …
In the space of just 10 days there have been dramatic changes in America. Major decisions that will shape everything from environmental policy to abortion rights have been announced – but not by the president or by Congress. It is the Supreme Court which currently exercises the power to really change peoples lives.

Take you feelings for Boris Johnson out of the equation.
I have listened too and I have watched the BBC this morning and I have to say even by the BBC standards it has possibly been one of the worse mornings for bias I have witnessed.
They have dragged up one Boris hater after the other including the usual suspects from his own party, Roger Gale, Tobias Ellwood etc etc etc.
The line of questioning by the various presenters is appalling.. questioning in such a way to encourage the interviewee to slag off the PM.
Not one mention on the BBC or Sky with regards to Starmer and the possibility of already receiving a fine.
Perhaps the BBC knows that Starmer has been fined and are trying to do as much damage to the PM as possible before it hits the news..
Regardless of XY and Z, it’s been a disgusting day by the BBC.

dafydd, am glad I had a TOADY free morning, apart from trying to catch the 7.38 / 7.40 a.m. Newspaper review and failing miserably. I find it more interesting to listen to the Goon Show on R4extra instead.
Two media certainties.
1. The lefty BBC and Guardian etc. will not rest until the succeed with their political attempts to get rid of Boris by whipping up a smear campaign based on the most flimsy tittle-tattle and hearsay.
2. The lefty US media are in panic over the growing certainty that Trump will sweep the board at the next election and are busily gearing up a smear campaign based on tittle-tattle and hearsay.
Lefty hand in glove tactics really!
Just been reading about the guy the BBC have latched on to who has come out to get Boris (Simon McDonald). I wanted to see if he was another bitter remainer – and he is that and then some.
He was the British Ambassador to Germany and here is a Brexit interview he did:
https://ukandeu.ac.uk/interview-pdf/?personid=44756
The thing which stood out a mile was that he considered the murder of Jo Cox to be good news because it might make the people settle down and vote to remain !!.
From his interview:
‘When the first results came in for Newcastle and Sunderland, they were bad, immediately bad.’
‘we would survive this. It would be horrible, with lots of people personally affected, but, again, we’re civil servants and we have more material to work with than just our EU membership. The UK will survive. That’s what I dreamt up as I was trying to sleep, and six years later I’m still saying the same things.’
So bascially a shallow and greedy man still full of spite after 6 years and finally gets a chance to stab Boris in the back.
100% typical remainer. Perfect for the BBC.
It’s nice to think that NASA might be outside the influence of at least some of the globalists agendas.
Sorry Lucy – they’ve an embedded cadre of climate loons and credentialed activists (Gavin Schmidt boss of NASA-GISS being the presently most notorious)
They’ve two orbiting CO2 measuring instruments OCO-2 in the “afternoon train” of earth observation satellites and OCO-3 on the ISS – both providing inconvenient data that simply doesn’t get talked about and occasionally surfaces as tortured “sensor fusion” videos with musical soundtracks produced by the PR crew… (It’s science!)

Am I the only one logging onto the bbc every ten minutes to see what they will do when the starmer story breaks? For how long will they talk about the gay mp when it does? It will also be interesting to see how long it takes them to try to weave it into the number ten cheese and wine apocalypse?
(It’s not actually an apocalypse, but to read the bbc you would think it was).

tomo, that’s interesting. Where did you get it? I corrected an author on TCW recently who wrote that QE was causing our present inflation in the UK. It isn’t. As that graph demonstrates. Way back when I was young, I had access to a free FT courtesy of my employer at the time, and back then (mid-late 1980s) Money Supply was an obession of the Conservative Party and Chancellor of the Exchequer (Nigel Lawson) together with the MSM. It was easy to find the various Ms listed on the ‘World Markets’ on the fp of the FT. Not there any more.

If so , maybe there is a little clue to current inflation.
Who are ‘terrorists’ Turkey wants from Sweden and Finland?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62027828
I thought at the time I learned of this a few days ago on an independent Ukraine war youtube channel that it was very odd. Turkey has basically blackmailed these countries using NATO.
But the thing which jumped immediately to mind is where is the European Court of Human Rights all of a sudden ?. Isn’t it amazing how they shut up when their EU masters tell them to.
A subject entirely ignored by the BBC of course.
I did notice how – according to the BBC – every terrorist on the list is absolutely innocent and has turned over a new leaf.
John, I could answer your question if my memory worked better or I still lived in London. London is home to a lot of them. I’m surprised the UK is not on Turkey’s list for repatriations. Think some of them are Kurds. They have a political organisation and you used to see the name graffiti’d on to walls around London.
Just remembered PKK. (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan) It is also there in the BBC article although you have to search for it. Typical BBC.
On expenses, no doubt.

At least strikes tend to be short lived, but any disruption at all can be catastrophic at this time, as I am sure the unions know all too well.
Thoughtful – your posts these days are as gloomy as mine . I wouldn’t read my own posts because they are too depressing.
…
But I like to be better informed about coming trouble – and this one coupled to the closing of the Russian pipeline on 10 July for annual maintenance just adds to thr grim …
Are the Russians behind this Norwegian thing ? If I was putin I would starve and freeze the west until they do a deal over Ukraine …
I don’t know enough about the consequences of Russia defaulting on its ‘ debts – which I understand exposes German banks to ‘stress ‘ – but that’s what id attack next …
Germany and Italy allow companies to pay in rubles for Russian gas
The move by the two countries follows discussions with the European Union.
https://www.offshore-technology.com/news/germany-italy-gas-russia-rouble/
Russia defaulting on its debts is a technical issue, they have the money to pay but cannot because of the sanctions. Obviously they are unable to offer new bonds to the market which means the government cannot raise money save by selling the bonds to itself, but with the sovereign wealth they have now amassed, they probably don’t need to.
Finding that China was behind the BLM protests and the Chavin hysteria all over the world did surprise me. I had thought it was a movement of trouble causers who have been around for some time, but I did not realise the extent of the guiding hand behind it all.
I note that the UK BLM organiser and rabble rouser Sasha Johnson was not a part of the BLM movement, could that be the reason behind her shooting?
The West is certainly under attack and the political elites have been their usual amazingly complacent selves in deal with it, in fact they probably don’t even know it’s going on.
A campaign of ‘UnBritish activities’ to root out Marxists from higher education would be the first step in rooting out the rotten core of much treachery and corruption.
I do wonder if the fires at the American food plants are being caused by hostile actions but again there is no concrete evidence.
It is however my belief that the West is under attack by both Russia and China, with other BRICS nations sitting on the fence wating to see the outcome.

PS Where’s Wally aka Frank.
This hapless intrepid reporter in his words “”Just back from exhausting week covering NATO summit and I,m stuck on a plane at Gatwick”

Anyone fancy a game of BBC ‘spot the difference’?
Let’s go.
What did Boris know about allegations against Pincher?
Front page website news. First story on TV news. First story on Toady. Interviews with Raab and Lord somebody or other.
What did BBC DG Tim Davie know about allegations against Tim Westwood?
Errrr………..none of the above.

I’m sure they’re just checking the facts and dotting all the i’s and crossing all the T’s.
I wonder if it’s OK for us to chase down Blacks and Muslims who desecrate our culture, history and statues? Would the BBC stay silent if people did?
Always interesting as to what the BBC puts up in lights and what it hides away.
LOL…The Hindustan Times has the story…
In 1989, two years after becoming the first Asian MP since 1929, he led a march of several thousand Muslims in Leicester calling for Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses to be banned. Rushdie subsequently claimed that Vaz, a Catholic of Goan origin, had previously assured him of his support – just one example of why Vaz has long been dismissed as an ideological weathervane, willing to say or do anything if he thinks the public will reward him for it.

TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC make it plain they want the PM sacked by the guests they interview
I’m glad I missed almost all of TOADY this morning that had some on here fuming. I’m now fuming at the BBC. I’ve joined the fumers! Sarah Montague was pretty outspoken on the issue of getting rid of the Prime Minister from his job without actually saying it. Who did Sarah interview? Labour’s Peer, Gus McDonnell and former Conservative MP David Gauke who is an opponent of the PM and also an opponent of Brexit.
It is now plain the Civil Service is in opposition to the Government of the day, partly because of the failings of the LacklustreLabour Party but more certainly because of Brexit and the PM’s personal role in the last four months of the Leave Campaign. Suella Braverman MP and Attorney General has experienced this and knows what is going on.
The Government may have to get really tough with Whitehall and hand out some P45s to senior people.
TWatO Watch #2 – the BBC have now put targets on the chests and backs of two more Government Ministers
Apparently, the PM invited cameras in to record the first few minutes of this morning’s Cabinet meeting. Unwise.
This gave the BBC the opportunity to say that the faces around the table looked grim or looked glum. Still keeping ‘Pinchergate’ going, Sarah asked Tim Montgomerie and a lady whose name I have forgotten, think she may be ‘a mediaperson’ (sorry Ma’am) about who is left supporting the PM in Government. The lady, I think, helpfully offered up Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries as the only two supporters of the PM. If it wasn’t her it was Tim Montgomerie who offered up the two names.
Funny, I thought. I thought funny. Why those two?

BBC One, 4 June 2022, 10.30pm
We reported that the acclaimed British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley is to become a German citizen. We said he was giving up his British passport because of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union and that he had described the move as embarrassing and had plans for new sculptures that would reflect his view.
In fact Sir Antony Gormley is not giving up his British nationality and has asked us to make clear the circumstances behind his application for a German passport.
Sir Antony holds dual nationality as a result of having a German mother and has decided to apply for a German passport, which he will hold alongside his British one.
In a statement he says he remains a proud British citizen and is grateful for the extraordinary support he has received from so many people and institutions across the UK but he is also keen to retain his links with and continue to show his work in Europe.
We apologise for the mistake.

The BBC is now calling the US Supreme Court an ‘enemy of the People’ judging by its narrative about recent decisions.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-62000677
Extraordinary interpretation…from a BBC that is supposed to be completely impartial and non-partisan we get a very political claim….lol…
‘How the US Supreme Court is reshaping America.
In the space of just 10 days there have been dramatic changes in America. Major decisions that will shape everything from environmental policy to abortion rights have been announced – but not by the president or by Congress. It is the Supreme Court which currently exercises the power to really change peoples lives.
As a result of these controversial rulings, the branch of government that is meant to be the most impartial and least partisan currently appears to be highly political.‘
Oh…but liberal members of the court making decisions that possibly reflect their outlook is OK….
‘Ms Sotomayor was one of the three liberal justices who disagreed with the abortion ruling and warned about what it could mean for other rights – like same sex marriage and access to contraception.
These liberal justices will continue to be outnumbered by the six conservative judges on the court, three of whom were appointed by former President Donald Trump. ‘
Hmmmm…can remember a huge hue and cry when our own Supreme Court was criticised….
‘Attacks on judges undermine law – Supreme Court president
The president of the UK’s Supreme Court has criticised politicians for not doing enough to defend judges following a row over the Brexit legal challenge.
Lord Neuberger said politicians did not speak out quickly or clearly enough and some media attacks had been unfair.
He said unjustified attacks on the judiciary undermined the rule of law.
After the government lost the Article 50 case at the High Court, a Daily Mail headline called the three judges in the case “enemies of the people”.’
Of course the BBC used the story to attack the Mail and the Tories….
‘That story sparked a furious row with critics, including MPs from all parties, accusing Liz Truss, the lord chancellor and justice secretary, of not standing up for an independent judiciary.’
Oddly I don’t see any similar demands that Biden and Co do much more to defend the Supreme Court and the rule of law…in fact the Democrats refused to back measures that gave the judges more protection.
Of course when Trump was critical of the court the Left thought it was highy dangerous and undermined the constitution and the rule of law…
https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/his-own-words-presidents-attacks-courts
‘Donald Trump has displayed a troubling pattern of attacking judges and the courts for rulings he disagrees with — a pattern that began during his presidential campaign (and even before), and has continued into his presidency.
This threatens our entire system of government. The courts are bulwarks of our Constitution and laws, and they depend on the public to respect their judgments and on officials to obey and enforce their decisions. ‘
TWatO Watch #3 – I had to look at a Box Set to check the broadcaster
How soon the BBC forget! I had to check which network broadcast ‘Yes, Minister’ and ‘Yes, Prime Minister’. Yes, it was the BBC. The BBC’s memory is worse than mine! The BBC have completely forgotten how Whitehall behaves, especially in regard to the truth.
I didn’t know about Simon McDonald’s letter published this morning and made available to the BBC (now there’s a thing) until it was mentioned in TWatO. Apparently, Simon McDonald has accused the PM of lying. Obviously the convention that applies to the House of Commons, that a member cannot accuse another member of lying, does not apply to the other place.
Apparently, as a senior Whitehall person, Simon McDonald was made aware of complaints about Chris Pincher MP after incidents in 2019. Chris Pincher was confronted, apologised for his behaviour and promised it would not happen again. The Cabinet Secretary was despatched to fully inform, Boris Johnson. But when in 2019 did the incidents take place? Boris Johnson only became Party Leader and Prime Minister on 23 or 24th July 2019.
We were not told by Sarah exactly when the incidents that were brought to Simon McDonald’s attention actually took place. Assuming they were after 24th July, did the Cabinet Secretary tell the PM the full story, was anyone else in the room and was it minuted? The BBC and Sarah Montague are peculiarly non-investigative for a leading news provider and journalist Presenter, respectively. We have to assume that the Cabinet Secretary told the PM the truth, that he told Simon McDonald the truth when he said he had fully informed the PM. Who was the Cabinet Secretary at the time? He is unnamed by the BBC. Was that the Cabinet Secretary who left Downing Street ‘under a cloud’ after ‘Partygate’?
The BBC are asking us to assume a great deal in the light of ‘Yes, Minister’ and ‘Yes, Prime Minister’.
Listening to Times radio and they stated McDonald has as yet provided no proof….where are the memos and minutes that are records of this briefing…and who is the mysterious civil servant who assured McDonald he did brief the PM?
Why are we hearing from McDonald and not the horse’s mouth?
As the Times said…it’s supposedly a gold-plated civil service [lol] and yet it hasn’t got any records of meetings with the PM!? Must we really be expected to believe outright the word of a man who has been at loggerheads with Boris for some time and was sacked by him? Think I’d like something more substantial than just his word.
Naturally such questions seem to have passed the BBC by…as always when the truth might be an inconvenient one.
pug, I have a feeling the Cabinet Secretary was one of the four senior Civil Servants who left in December 2021 thus providing the BBC with the opportunity of suggesting that ‘the wheels were falling off Boris Johnson’s Government’ or somesuch.
The BBC staying absolutely schtum about rumours that Starmer has been fined [rumours allegedly within his own party] and that maybe he has an injunction to silence the media….maybe that’s why they’re schtum…lol.
Guido’s not impressed with the stories…
https://order-order.com/2022/07/05/about-starmers-durham-injunction/
But the fact that they’re mere rumours at the moment wouldn’t stop the BBC if it were good old Tory and old Etonian Brexiteer Boris in the firing line.
Guido seems to agree with my assessment that it would be very difficult for Smarmer to get an injunction. Criminal matters are always in the public domain unless there’s an’ incredibly important reason not to, such as National security He does, however have friends in the legal fraternity. I think Smarmer is toast if he’s been fined even if he manages to overturn the penalty In my view it would be scandalous if an injuction has been granted.
When there’s trouble looming the BBC denies that The BBC Media Action offshoot has anything to do with the BBC…despite the name….not everyone gets the message…as Is the BBC biased? spots….
And right there is why Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe was in an Iranian jail…..’driving societal change’ as some might say…..interfering in the culture and laws of a sovereign country and attempting to undermine Iran’s political and social systems by training Iranians to gather information within Iran, secretly send it to the BBC which then repackaged it to suit their narrative and broadcast it into Iran in the hope of stirring up protest and rebellion….essentially spying and subversion….which happened in 2009…and for which NZR was arrestred in 2016.

I have been trying to remember recent scandals involving Whitehall and the Conservative Government since 2015:
Priti Patel ‘bullying’
Windrush
PPE
Afghanistan
‘Partygate’
Passport Agency and time taken for renewals
Have I missed any?
“Scandals”
Priti Patel “scandal”. She wanted Civil Servants to do their jobs.
Windrush dates back decades
PPE had to be bought from wherever it was availble whatever the cost.
Afghanistan?
Partygate. No scandal that I can discern.
Passport Agency. Civil servants living it up at home instead of doing their jobs.
Flotsam, true that the actual boat ‘Windrush’ dates back to 1940s & ’50s but the scandal was recent.
Government doesn’t buy PPE; it is a Deartmental job, Civil Servants at DfHealth but they had not been doing their job very well so the SoS for Health had to step in in their place.
Afghanistan was a F&CO disaster, with Permanent Secretary on holiday and uncontactable. He had to be dragged back to the UK, iirc, by the Foreign Secretary who was also on holiday!
Why did four Civil Servants resign then? That includes the one who organised one of the ‘gatherings’ and filmed it and leaked it to the newspapers.

Listening to the 4pm brazier – 15 minutes 15 minutes of continuous station adverts wiping out the live programme – is the BBC trying to sabotage the channel ? Or is it the dumb staff ?
I think GBN need to get their “technical issues” sorted out. They’ve had a year to smooth out the problems, but video links are still abysmal. Brazier didn’t start at 4pm, and we were treated to old interviews by Liam Halligan.
All the presenters seem to be getting money for old rope, as their shows are never the full hour/2 hours. Take out the endless mattress/gold/ Thane adverts, two weather reports and two headline news, then their workload is cut down to around 40 minutes per hour.
Sky paper review is the same – starts at 10.35, cuts off at 10.47 for ads then back for another 6 minutes. Yet I bet the contributors get paid full wack for just 18 minutes work.
I was so cheesed off I emailed their press department – I don’t expect them to read my view or reply – and certainly no ‘on air ‘ apology – otherwise they’d be doing it every hour – dross support really …
I don’t think the producers listen to their own station – gone in a year – to Murdock …
I heard something similar on GBN a few nights ago. I’m convinced there’s a mole at work at the station.
A week or two back the audio was going off randomly for a long periods. It was as if someone was amusing themselves by clicking a switch on and off.
Ukrainian professor wins prestigious Fields Medal in mathematics
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-62051150
‘she said, ‘”I feel sad that I’m only the second woman,”
to receive the prestigious Fields Medal.
The medal is awarded every four years to outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40.
Her family were evacuated from Kyiv and are now staying with her in Switzerland, where she works at the Ecole Polytechnique ‘
So she’s not a Ukrainian professor anymore, as she’s moved to Switzerland.
Shouldn’t she, and the BBC be questioning if she’s actually won it on merit, and not make it about women.
Under the age of 40?
Isn’t maths is a young person’s game anyway, does anyone
over 40 contribute much?
Didn’t know Ukraine has an evacuation program..
“The International Congress of Mathematicians, where the prize is awarded, was originally due to be held in Russia’s second city Saint Petersburg and opened by President Vladimir Putin.”
Clears up any doubts about politicisation and bias😄
Nato has formally launched the process to bring Sweden and Finland into its military alliance. But a key condition for Nato member Turkey is the handover of more than 70 people described by its president as terrorists.
The leaders of the two Nordic nations say they are taking the issue seriously, but ultimately extradition is up to the courts not politicians. So who does Turkey want and could they ever be deported to Ankara?

Johnson then offered the limerick: “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.”
The former mayor is reported to be surprised that his efforts were officially entered into the competition.
In awarding Johnson the prize, Murray appeared to contradict his own rule that “wankerer” was not a word, despite rhyming with the Turkish capital, but defended his choice in a blogpost, saying the prize was “entirely anti-meritocratic”.

You can’t handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don’t want the truth, because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like “honor”, “code”, “loyalty”. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said “thank you”, and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Here’s an interesting video the British media including the BBC don’t appear to keen to tell you about.
Boris’s hero Joe Biden telling Americans they are going to be paying high fuel prices for “as long as it takes”.
Boris would probably be to cowardly to say something like that, but in Bidens case he’s just to stupid to realise the giant two fingered salute he just flipped to the American people.
“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”.
Thoughtful I do recommend anyone who isn’t already aware like you are look more at what global leaders are pushing under the banner of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
A few years ago it was called conspiracy theory. But that argument doesn’t wash when governments are openly publishing info and announcing their collaboration with the WEF.
Lab-based food, green economy, energy rationing, biotech mRNA factories for everything, increasing automation of work, the key words are global ‘disruption’ and ‘build back better’…
— “The 4th Industrial Revolution will change the kinds of jobs needed in industry. Our strong view is that as a nation we must create the jobs of the future. Digital revolution brings with it disruption.”

Simon Jordan made some interesting comments on
Wimbledon on Talk Sport. Asking why do we see all these
interviews from round one when somebody wins. The
interviews go something like ” Are you pleased you won?”
with the stock answers always being ” I would like to thank
everybody for being here.” By this time three quarters of those
watching have gone to do a pee .Or gone home.
Of course the BBC is not the only media organization
that has insisted on these procedures. But I very
much expect that the BBC diversity department is very
pleased to get some ” inclusivity into all this whiteness.
Including white players, white clothes, white spectators,
white balls. So we see a plethora of their ethnic presenters
doing the interviewing .To at least dumb down the
whiteness a little.
It’s all falling apart now.
