Before the Men’s Singles Final they showed a short film of previous men’s finals with the narration going on about “two giants.” I didn’t see the beginning but Sue said “Thanks to Eddie Butler” (Rugby commentator?), so I’m unclear whether he just spoke the words or wrote them as well.
I would suspect the latter as yesterday I caught most of the equivalent piece before the women’s final, a tedious, strident load of guff about “Wimmin” and Sue said “Thanks to Miriam Margolyes.”
BBC Sport, eh? When you think Wimbledon, you think Miriam Margolyes.

The Beeb repeated a doubles match with Serena Williams partnering Ons Jabeur during Eastbourne. Apart from the fawning female commentators, the crowd looked like a right bunch of doughnut bumpers.

It appears that the Left wing American media have been spewing Chinese propaganda over the reporting of the assasination of ex Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe.
Obviously the Chinese and Japanese have some issues but to find the US media yet again taking the side of the Chinese Communist party is disturbing to say the least.
It would appear that an investigation into the scale of Chinese interference in the US would be highly appropriate at this time given what has gone on in the past as well.

Battle of Britain: The schoolgirl who helped design the Spitfire
Close
Meet the young mathematician who helped design the Spitfire, the iconic aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain, which started 80 years ago today.
Hazel Hill helped her father do the calculations that meant Spitfires could be built with eight guns instead of four. Many believe this made a big difference to the outcome of the Battle of Britain.
‘The Schoolgirl who Helped Win a War’ will be broadcast on the BBC News Channel at 13.30, 17.30 and 20.30 on Saturday and 10.30 and 16.30 on Sunday. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
Media Watch #1 – the traduction* of Boris Johnson continued apace this morning
The Socialists, Marxists, Communists, the BBC and the Labour Party are terrified that Boris Johnson may make a comeback. Now, where have we seen that before. Somewhere west of the UK? Maybe about 5,000 miles west of the UK? Whether it is the BBC or the print media the Lefty ones appear to be queueing up to dish more dirt on the man’s head, whether it is Bojo or former President Trump.
*Traduction may not be a proper word but traducing is all the go with Bojo and certain sections of the media. The BBC are currently at it on their web-site.
They also show how the taxi firm’s former boss personally ordered the use of a “kill switch” to prevent raiding police from accessing computers.

Name of donor: Christine Lee & Co
Address of donor: 86 Holloway Head, Birmingham B1 1NB

The problem is that it is so broad, in that there are problems even in this building. The security services will tell you privately that—far beyond Christine Lee, who obviously was named—there are agents of the Chinese state here who are known to the security services and in whom they have taken an active interest.
There are huge problems in academia; China has made no secret of its interest in academia. When the Zhenhua database leak happened a couple of years ago—this was a database that China was using to identify potential targets of intelligence activity—it was no surprise that they had targeted think-tanks and academics very carefully. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/pbc/2022-23/National_Security_Bill/02-0_2022-07-07a.27.2?s=Christine+Lee+china#g33.0

There are researchers in the UK right now who are, frankly, working with branches of the Chinese navy to come up with devices to track nuclear submarines around the world. That is as dangerous as it comes to our national security, and that work is going on in the open.

There are grievous concerns about the whole level. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/pbc/2022-23/National_Security_Bill/02-0_2022-07-07a.27.2?s=Christine+Lee+china#g33.0

Prof Jay said: “No-one knows the true scale of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years. Our conservative estimate is that approximately 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full inquiry period, from 1997 to 2013.”
Revealing details of the inquiry’s findings, Prof Jay said: “It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered.”
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089

Haven’t watched Countryfile for over a year but as it was about the New Forest, not far from me, thought I’d watch it.
First segment all about how the New Forest is taking in Ukrainian refugees. Second segment about immigration and fruit pickers. Turned off and vowed never to watch it again.
Later decided to watch a bit of Antiques Roadshow. Haven’t watched that for over a year. Within a few minutes there was a bit about celebrating NHS nurses and every nurse shown was black. Turned off and vowed never to watch it again.
intro Last year around 20K came to UK to work on OUR farms
Heap “nearly 8,000 tonnes of oft fruit rotted in 2021 cos of a shortage of pickers (BBC doubtful stat)
It’s Ukrainians who have HISTORICALLY made up the bulk of the workforce (sounds like BS to me, It may be true for the last 4-5 years, and EU workers have been common for 20 years
.. there are over 30 Ukrainians working here
Well it’s a huge farm ..I’m guessing they are a minority
Worker cries cos he was set to come to UK but then war started 4 days before so he had to do defence work
before coming to UK 10 weeks later
He cries again
To me Heap looks like a callous medialand bastard who is thinking ‘this crying is great TV’
When the guy comes back Heap kinda hugs him
Heap “Ukrainian workers are HARD WORKING” that’s racial stereotyping
Next Ukrainian woman looks Roma to me
Oh Heap has got her to cry as well.
Workers caravans, “14 nationalities”

Item #3 40 local volunteers in Lymington sending aid to Poland and the Ukraine

Item #4 speaking to a Dutch farmer who lives in Ukraine.

“Where will they put this years harvest”
Item #5 Man doing a charity row for Ukrainian aid
In a corrugated tin boat.
Item #6 small ORGANIC market garden for HEALING
“hope eventually to have Ukr refugees at the farm”
Item #7 Weather
“Climate Change scary scary but something about temperatures dropping on WEdnesday and rain in Scotlnd
but next weekend could we break the 38.7C record “
The prog was an old repeat from May 2020
“We are celebrating the role of nurses ..so if you have a story see the website ”
.. However NOW, there is nothing about that on the website
In July 2016, after David Cameron resigned, May was elected Conservative Party leader and became the UK’s second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher. She is the first, and to date, the only woman to hold two of the Great Offices of State. She began the process of withdrawing the UK from the European Union, triggering Article 50 in March 2017. The following month, she announced a snap general election, with the aims of strengthening her hand in Brexit negotiations and highlighting her “strong and stable” leadership.[4][5] This resulted in a hung parliament in which the number of Conservative seats had fallen from 330 to 317, despite the party winning its highest vote share since 1983. The loss of an overall majority prompted her to enter a confidence and supply arrangement with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Northern Ireland to support a minority government. May survived a vote of no confidence from Conservative MPs in December 2018 and a vote of no confidence tabled by Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn in January 2019.
So… we now seem to have a president of a major EU country who took bribes to promote a private taxi company, aided and abetted by a major EU commissioner.
Will the BBC get on this story or will they deem it to be less than important compared to a PM eating cake in his own home?
Lower than a snakes belly comes to mind.
They are just reprehensible, I cannot express my disgust in any way that is appropriate without blaspheming.
I really hate these bloody retarded press weasels. They are the lowest of the low.
In 1993 there was former Socialist minister Bernard Tapie
he built up a sporting and media empire,
he sold his stake in the Adidas to state-run French bank Credit Lyonnais,
Then he served six months behind bars in 1997 for match-fixing. His business empire later collapsed.
Strangely the state settled in arbitration in 2008
A panel found he had been the victim of fraud cos the bank was found to have undervalued the sportswear brand,
So he got €400m
Then Dec 2016 Christine Lagarde avoids jail, keeps job after being found guilty of negligence in approving a massive payout of taxpayers’ money to controversial French businessman
Accused of allowing the misuse of public funds—rather than actual corruption—Lagarde faced the prospect of being sentenced to a year in prison

Fed, Winnie was said to have ‘an eye for the gells’ although he did concentrate on his day job – fortunately – 1940-45. A member of his staff did, too. Result was – if I recall correctly – the woke bloke under a big hat in Canterbury.

If Putin was a woman… she’d be Catherine the Great, one of the greatest warmongers (and whoremongers) of all human history.

Battle of Britain: The schoolgirl who helped design the Spitfire
Close
Meet the young mathematician who helped design the Spitfire, the iconic aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain, which started 80 years ago today.
Hazel Hill helped her father do the calculations that meant Spitfires could be built with eight guns instead of four. Many believe this made a big difference to the outcome of the Battle of Britain.
‘The Schoolgirl who Helped Win a War’ will be broadcast on the BBC News Channel at 13.30, 17.30 and 20.30 on Saturday and 10.30 and 16.30 on Sunday. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.

Media Watch #1 – the traduction* of Boris Johnson continued apace this morning
The Socialists, Marxists, Communists, the BBC and the Labour Party are terrified that Boris Johnson may make a comeback. Now, where have we seen that before. Somewhere west of the UK? Maybe about 5,000 miles west of the UK? Whether it is the BBC or the print media the Lefty ones appear to be queueing up to dish more dirt on the man’s head, whether it is Bojo or former President Trump.
*Traduction may not be a proper word but traducing is all the go with Bojo and certain sections of the media. The BBC are currently at it on their web-site.

The problem is that it is so broad, in that there are problems even in this building. The security services will tell you privately that—far beyond Christine Lee, who obviously was named—there are agents of the Chinese state here who are known to the security services and in whom they have taken an active interest.
There are huge problems in academia; China has made no secret of its interest in academia. When the Zhenhua database leak happened a couple of years ago—this was a database that China was using to identify potential targets of intelligence activity—it was no surprise that they had targeted think-tanks and academics very carefully.

There are researchers in the UK right now who are, frankly, working with branches of the Chinese navy to come up with devices to track nuclear submarines around the world. That is as dangerous as it comes to our national security, and that work is going on in the open. I am also aware of British companies that are making engines—or casings for engines in this case—that they have admitted are good for nothing other than for engines in tanks. There are grievous concerns about the whole level.

Tory leadership contenders are trying to outdo each other on tax cuts.
Javid’ policies apparently have an estimate of £39 bn.
Now call me a thicko but if you pump £39 bn of free money into an economy with 10% inflation……..we’ll it doesn’t sound too good to me just right now.
Millions did very nicely out of covid. My hairdresser for one. Furlough pay followed by a massive backlog of long-haired customers ……and so prices went up. Millions did not. Let’s not pretend it’s simple.

Prof Jay said: “No-one knows the true scale of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years. Our conservative estimate is that approximately 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full inquiry period, from 1997 to 2013.”
Revealing details of the inquiry’s findings, Prof Jay said: “It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered.”
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.

Haven’t watched Countryfile for over a year but as it was about the New Forest, not far from me, thought I’d watch it.
First segment all about how the New Forest is taking in Ukrainian refugees. Second segment about immigration and fruit pickers. Turned off and vowed never to watch it again.
Later decided to watch a bit of Antiques Roadshow. Haven’t watched that for over a year. Within a few minutes there was a bit about celebrating NHS nurses and every nurse shown was black. Turned off and vowed never to watch it again.

intro Last year around 20K came to UK to work on OUR farms
Heap “nearly 8,000 tonnes of oft fruit rotted in 2021 cos of a shortage of pickers (BBC doubtful stat)
It’s Ukrainians who have HISTORICALLY made up the bulk of the workforce (sounds like BS to me, It may be true for the last 4-5 years, and EU workers have been common for 20 years
.. there are over 30 Ukrainians working here
Well it’s a huge farm ..I’m guessing they are a minority
Worker cries cos he was set to come to UK but then war started 4 days before so he had to do defence work
before coming to UK 10 weeks later
He cries again
To me Heap looks like a callous medialand bastard who is thinking ‘this crying is great TV’
When the guy comes back Heap kinda hugs him
Heap “Ukrainian workers are HARD WORKING” that’s racial stereotyping
Next Ukrainian woman looks Roma to me
Oh Heap has got her to cry as well.

In July 2016, after David Cameron resigned, May was elected Conservative Party leader and became the UK’s second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher. She is the first, and to date, the only woman to hold two of the Great Offices of State. She began the process of withdrawing the UK from the European Union, triggering Article 50 in March 2017. The following month, she announced a snap general election, with the aims of strengthening her hand in Brexit negotiations and highlighting her “strong and stable” leadership.[4][5] This resulted in a hung parliament in which the number of Conservative seats had fallen from 330 to 317, despite the party winning its highest vote share since 1983. The loss of an overall majority prompted her to enter a confidence and supply arrangement with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Northern Ireland to support a minority government. May survived a vote of no confidence from Conservative MPs in December 2018 and a vote of no confidence tabled by Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn in January 2019.

So… we now seem to have a president of a major EU country who took bribes to promote a private taxi company, aided and abetted by a major EU commissioner.
Will the BBC get on this story or will they deem it to be less than important compared to a PM eating cake in his own home?
Lower than a snakes belly comes to mind.

In 1993 there was former Socialist minister Bernard Tapie
he built up a sporting and media empire,
he sold his stake in the Adidas to state-run French bank Credit Lyonnais,
Then he served six months behind bars in 1997 for match-fixing. His business empire later collapsed.
Strangely the state settled in arbitration in 2008
A panel found he had been the victim of fraud cos the bank was found to have undervalued the sportswear brand,
So he got €400m
Then Dec 2016 Christine Lagarde avoids jail, keeps job after being found guilty of negligence in approving a massive payout of taxpayers’ money to controversial French businessman
Accused of allowing the misuse of public funds—rather than actual corruption—Lagarde faced the prospect of being sentenced to a year in prison
However In 2019 Bernard Tapie was acquitted on charges of defrauding the state.
