Be in no doubt that as the BBC bury the Report on mass child sexual abuse in Telford their fight with the British Military will be pushed on . Some people ask what evidence of anti British Bias is there ? Well the 2 issues above help answer that question. Dump your TV licence – end your Direct Debit .
The site has been playing up from time to time recently – lets hope it gets cured .

Eight left in contest to lead Conservatives, after Sajid Javid pulls out”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62142894
Let me guess the final two –
one male, one female,
one will be indigenous, the other an immigrant.
Identical globalist agenda.
Conservative members then get the important task of choosing the superficial window dressing…
An unedifying spectacle.
No-one seems to be concerned about electability at a General Election. It’s all about short-term back-scratching and appealing to Tory members who are very unrepresentative of the country, not least by age.
Will they vote for someone who is manifestly electable?
I’m not confident.
The agenda is the Climate Change one. The one to rule over all.
This hoax was perpetrated by third rate academics fed with large amounts of government money to cook up climate Change panic using computer based models. This is the Medusa’s head.
How it has got so far is beyond belief.
Doublespeak To Save The Planet
https://realclimatescience.com/2022/07/doublespeak-to-save-the-planet-2/
Wow – Javid pulling out is the last thing I was expecting. He’s one of the BBC’s darlings because he is a remainer yet they don’t mention anything else at all.
That means something has gone on behind the scenes, it’s not very ‘honourable’ and the BBC know all about it.
The withdrawal of Javid or Ben Wallace could be a tactical one. They both will step in at the last moment as a compromise candidates for the good of the country and party.
The final two?
Both should subject themselves to the IQ test and publish the results.
Both should declare that they have not, nor will, subscribe to the aspirations of the WEF.
Both should accept, if becoming PM, that he/she/it will accept a probationary period of 1 year in the role and not having achieved the goals stated at that point, will step down.
There, that helps. “Every Little Helps” (if the will to tackle the problems really exists)
Tonight we were looking for a movie and happened across one not seen before, by Clint Eastwood, whose directorial efforts have been eclectic and usually pretty good.
Though historical, it also served to highlight some current activities by government agencies and the media. Topical, to say the least.
Called ‘Richard Jewell’, it covered the treatment of an innocent man following a terrorist attack.
Essentially the FBI tried to stitch him up, the same FBI currently apparently acting as Biden’s personal cover up squad and intimidation boot boys.
And then, the media. Happy to proceed with zero evidence to allude away to pursue agendas ranging from prejudice to ratings, as ever. CNN, of course, front and left.
With McAlpine and Bashir and many other woeful similar efforts notched on their shameful tally, the BBC is fast becoming the poster child for similar unsubstantiated source says claim and run gutter journalism here.
Paid, by compulsion, by the British public.
BIG Phil Campion @bigphilcampion replies
Awful work.
Raking through the coals finding nothing and manufacturing falsehoods based on the interpretations of people who were not there,
Talib Afghans and a signaller who probably made it no further than the NAFFI spouting off.
Shiner all over again.
Haven’t watched it yet but got the impression from the news and Today that they had actual British SAS witnesses….clearly not the case…..the BBC’s evidence seems somewhat thin and speculative, certainly nowhere firm enough to run huge frontpage headline stating that the SAS definitely killed prisoners as the BBC did today.
It may or may not have happened but you’d expect a broadcaster whose much vaunted ethos is supposedly trust, accuracy and honesty to be less sensationalist and tabloid in such sensitive and dangerous issues.
It does seem with the BBC that a sensationalist ‘scoop’ will trump honest journalism everytime….I don’t need to list all the times the BBC has run a story that was blatantly false to any reasonable person and so turned out to be under the harsh light of day and the slightest of examinations.
As Guest Who says…it’s gutter journalism…but worse it does put troops at risk…not just troops but anyone in the West who may become targets for any Muslim helped along the radicalisation path by such stories and who then seeks revenge by, say, bombing a music concert.
Ain’t the BBC great?!
I am unable to watch, because… bbc.
But the available written material so far is a litany of… impressions.
Shame the bbc fact checking unit is run by two folk who restrict who they mix with to the bbc.
.. surely you mean “two folk who restrict who they mix with to Guardianland and the naive”
cos they block people like you who raise difficult questions
Stew, (“raise difficult questions”), that also applies to an astonishing GBNews report about Matt Ridley’s new book, ‘Viral’ (https://www.amazon.com/Viral-Search-COVID-19-Matt-Ridley/dp/006313912X) which explores the truth about how and where the covids started
He succinctly mentions that neither the BBC or CNN, have ever tried to examine the start of the pandemic in anything other than bland generalities!
One would have thought with the whole world being affected by Chinese flu, that someone vaguely qualified in investigative journalism and generously paid for by the TV tax, would be interested in looking into these causes, but as Ridley says, the silence is deafening!
Another reply
“Watched this.
It was mind bogglingly bad journalism.
All hearsay from Afghans who’d lost family members and a pair of Aussie‘hero’s’ trying to dish the dirt on their supposed comrades.”
Personally I wouldn’t rule out that the Aussies got it right
Blue tick account @THEJamesWhale
This is even worse because it could be putting peoples lives at risk
, I don’t think we should allow it to lie it has to be continually criticised and the director general must come out and make a statement tomorrow
Not ruling out is a process at best. Not a headline.
Iirc there is a major tv doco on streaming currently that Oz SAS are not thrilled with.
Yes, as ever BIG claims need to be backed by BIG evidence.
Anyone seen the film “New Order” yet?
Is it about Joy Division?
Got to hand it to Labour; they know stupid.
They have a lot in common: highly political, woke, and grotesquely useless at their jobs.
And both with that special colour that speaks of Multicultralism.
And both frankly grotesque.

Sadiq is just an ethnic version of Bercow. Small in stature, has lots to say, and loves to be seen glad handing for a photoshoot.
Sadiq Khan will become the first Mayor of London to lead a trade mission to both India and Pakistan. {bbc.co.uk 01dec2017}
“Mr Khan has announced a six-day tour, visiting Mumbai, Delhi and Amritsar in India before heading to Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi in Pakistan.”
Will Sadiq be accepted by the Muslim community after failing to stop bikin posters on the London underground, taking in a young dog for Christmas, promoting alcohol with the opening of pubs around London, being in charge of a city known for gambling and drinking.
Will this mean UK aid can be reduced to zero and replaced with trade to these countries?
Will he ask Pakistan to stop celebrating Al Quds with burning of the Israeli and US flags?
The five biggest recipients of bilateral aid are Pakistan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Syria. When it comes to continents, significantly more gets spent in Africa (55%) and Asia (41%) than anywhere else. {fullfact}
Will Sadiq Khan raise the problem of blasphemy laws and how living in a country with freedom of speech and freedom of thought are necessary and are the reasons he lives in a tolerant country?
“Mashal Khan was shot dead by a mob (in Pakistan) after a heated discussion about Abdul Wali Khan university, and activists are pointing to archaic blasphemy laws and their frequent misuse for revenge and personal gain” {26apr2017}

The BBC manage to go through the Telford abuse story with barely a mention of the ethnicity of the perpetrators. In fact, other than for a photo of the perpetrators, where white British are ‘significantly under-represented’, there was no mention at all.
In other words, absolutely no lessons have been learned, and the BBC are still in denial. To them ‘impartial’ means not doing anything which might offend those who support the BBC’s favourite religion.
Immoral and disgusting.
Oh I see a previous flawed military murders Panorama was narrated by Jeremy Vine
.. now Vine says he is a victim of terror from Alex Belfield cos he keeps asking why £1000 of BBC licence payers money was given away at a memorial where Vine was one of the BBC representatives.
.. https://twitter.com/BrianWoodMC/status/1170639488877518848
That Panorama took the Phil Shiner line
Didn’t Panorama do an “ expose” on the Battle of Danny Boy in Iraq in 2004.
The programme alleged murder, torture and mutilation by the British troops involved.
They had as their star witness one Phil Shiner. After a long inquiry it was found to be a pack of lies

The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan is a 2010 documentary film produced by Clover Films and directed by Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi about the practice of bacha bazi in Afghanistan. The 52-minute documentary premiered in the UK at the Royal Society of Arts on March 29, 2010,[1] and aired on PBS Frontline in the United States on April 20.
Bacha bazi, also known as bacchá (from the Persian bacheh بچه, literally “playing with boys” in Persian, Pashto and Hindustani), is a form of sexual slavery and child prostitution[2] in which prepubescent and adolescent boys are sold to wealthy or powerful men for entertainment and sexual activities. This business thrives in Afghanistan, where many men keep dancing boys as status symbols. The practice is illegal under Afghan law.[3][4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dancing_Boys_of_Afghanistan
Quite revolting but has been a practice at least since Islam was introduced and no doubt before that time.

Belfield case : Belfield previously said that this week a QC had Covid and therefore witnesses like Vine cannot give evidence
Belfield’s trolls accused AB of not being honest and said he was failing to say that it is his QC who has Covid.
They too also failed to mention that it is AB’s court appointed QC
You see Vine originally said AB is such a terrifying person and he Vine is such a weak person, that he wouldn’t be able to take questions directly from AB, so applied for a section 36, meaning the court appointed a QC to ask questions on Belfield’s behalf
Now Vine says “I’m going on holiday next week, I can’t delay, so I wave the section 36”
So now AB will get to interrogate Wednesday afternoon, when the prosecution QC has finished.
A commenter summarises
Helen Thomas: “The emails were horrible, offensive, distressing and upsetting”.
Also Helen Thomas: “I dont remember that email….I dont know what that email was about…I dont know who he was referring to…I didn’t see that email “
Basically she also admitted that despite claiming there were 5,000 emails most were jut deleted and not opened
So she couldn’t be sure what they were about.
Hence only 27 are being presented to the court.
Simon Fanshaw i sounding like a gay small C conservative as he explains
There is Type 1 child abuse, gang grooming, they typically pass their victims typically VULNERABLE KIDS around a network.
In X Y, Z this was the night time economy workers like taxi drivers ..and they were mainly Asian
Now Type 2 is focussed on CHILDREN explicitly that’s PAEDOPHILIA .. they tend to be WHITE men
Yes, I agree. I get frustrated when people call the grooming gangs paedophiles, cos they not clinical paedophiles. Rather they are exploiters of vulnerables for sex.
They seemed to say that the failures to investigate is not PRO-Pak/Bangla racism it is anti trailer trash prejudice ie authorities would rather believe BUSINESS adults rather than kids from screwed up working class homes.-
But – the “vulnerable kids” are underage – so therefore both groups are PAEDOPHILES.
Note that the government includes people who watch porn as being the same level of sex offender as people who rape children, hence they are able to say that white males are the bulk of offenders – which they clearly are not.
The Times has a thread on the BBC licence report
.. https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1546849700468461570
Basically the BBC is saying it is succeeding on reducing the actual number of cheats ..ie people who do watch live TV but don’t pay
💰 Licence fee income crept up from £3.75bn to £3.8bn, its highest level since 2018.
The BBC had 24.9m licence fees in force, stopping the rot of people refusing to pay the levy.
Some 24.8m licence fees were in force last year, which was down 700k when compared with 2020 (25.5m)”
The BBC’s total operating costs were £5.23bn, the highest they have been in at least a decade.
Capitol riots: ‘Wild’ Trump tweet incited attack, says inquiry
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62140410
Just when you think the anti-Trump rhetoric and hate can’t get any more extreme, the BBC push this out.
The propaganda in this enquiry and the BBC reporting is beyond ridiculous. I was wondering if anyone can actually take such extreme bias seriously – but then I remembered the standard of the HYS comments against Boris and realised the Leftists will believe every word.
Any serious journalist would be questioning what relevance pure-emotion, clearly pre-written acts like this picture of a protestor showing his remorse to a policeman in such a formal, public meeting have.
I wonder if any remorse has been shown for unarmed woman they shot dead. I bet she wasn’t even mentioned.
‘Ayres stunned people in the hearing room when he approached two of the police officers who were injured in the melee.’
Harry Dunn in that picture was not injured at all. It’s another BBC lie. He just claims to be suffering PTSD as a result of being in the protest. God knows how he survived being a police officer in the USA before that : I’m sure he’s seen much, much worse.
Whether people really are that stupid or it’s just more extreme Leftist hypocrisy, I despair for the future of the world that articles like this are reported seriously by the likes of the BBC and presumably then taken seriously by people reading them.
On World Service during the last night, one selected interviewee stated that the majority of Republican voters in the US do not want Donald to stand again………….

This directly affects British citizens so why aren’t the BBC concerned about stories like this ?. It’s blatantly obvious they are getting a lot more money to house the immigrants.
I’m sure the people who fund the BBC would much rather Panorama spend their money on investigating things like this instead of trying to destroy the SAS for what the BBC Leftists would label ‘toxic masculinity’
If they returned home at all it was to pass on address details to their dozens of family members and give instructions on dinghy times and departure points.
The BBC’s Phil Mackie…..
‘Countless children were sexually assaulted and raped. They were deliberately humiliated and degraded. They were shared and trafficked. They were subjected to violence and their families were threatened. They lived in fear and their lives were forever changed. They have asked, over the years: how was this allowed to happen?”
The answer, Mr Crowther believes, is the authorities had ignored obvious signs of child exploitation; had blamed the children and not the perpetrators, and in many cases wouldn’t investigate cases because of “nervousness about race”. ‘
And why might people be nervous about race? Could it be because of people like Mackie who use their position at the BBC to hound, mock and demonise anyone who dared raise any issue that suggested Asians or Muslims were doing anything wrong?
When the Trojan Horse issue arose Mackie suggested that it was just a load of racists who made the accusations….not only were they racist, they were islamophobic and paranoid so he claimed.
Thing is…they were 100% right and Mackie was an Islamist apologist who tried to hide the truth…..the Phil Mackie who stood outside the radical and extremist Green Lane Mosque and told us it was a wonderful, moderate place of worship.
The BBC did the same with Tommy Robinson and the EDL as he raised the issue of the abuse of white girls by Muslim men. The BBC, et al, were not interested in saving those girls they were more interested in stopping the reality of groups of Muslim men grooming and raping literally thousands of young white girls becoming known….due to race/religion of the rapists.
pugnazious, I would say the reason the BBC did that to Tommy Robinson was not to protect Muslims, it was to oppose the far-right. Everything the Leftists do is for one of two reasons : either to virtue-signal how ethically superior they are to everybody else or to use as a weapon against their ideological enemies : the Right who they hate.
They don’t give a flying f*ck about Muslim people. Look how they treated the poor woman who was burned to death in the street by her family. It was one small article for one day. They don’t care one bit about how sexist or homophobic they are : they must be preserved as innocent victims so they can be used as weapons against people like Tommy.
It’s the most disgusting hypocrisy you can imagine. And they are exactly the same for black people. They are only of use when whatever happens to them is done by someone white and Right. As the complete lack of coverage for Sasha Johnson, Sabina Nessa and more recently Shadika Patel have shown conclusively.
So we’ve got 50% BAME and only 2 white males from 8 candidates up for Tory leader and they are both remainers ?.
WTF ?.
Below is a cut and paste from The Guardian ( ?) on on of their favourite sons( who I’ve never heard of ) – about the usual BBC sex abuse
Submitted for the record ..
STARTS
The BBC has said it will publish an internal investigation into bullying and sexual misconduct allegations against radio presenter, Tim Westwood, within the next two weeks.
The DJ, who was a BBC radio presenter for almost 20 years, stepped down from his show on Capital Xtra in April after accusations by several women of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour. The claims were uncovered by a joint investigation involving the Guardian and the BBC.
The BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, had initially insisted that in its records the BBC had “no evidence of complaints” against Westwood, who worked for the corporation between 1994 and 2013. Facing an objection over its handling of a freedom of information request, the corporation then backtracked and admitted it had received six complaints concerning the presenter’s tenure at the BBC relating to allegations of bullying or sexual misconduct – including one that had been referred to the police.
The BBC said that this particular complaint was historical and did not relate to an allegation of physical assault, adding that it would be in a position to say more when its investigation had concluded. The police declined to comment on whether they had received or how they had handled any referral.
Westwood has strongly denied the allegations of the seven women who featured in the original investigation in April. Lawyers acting for Westwood said at the time that he was a well-respected and highly successful DJ. They said he denied in their entirety the serious allegations being made against him, saying they were false and defamatory, and said he wanted to make clear that he did not behave in the manner described.
In 2020, the 64-year-old said claims of inappropriate behaviour made against him at the time on social media were fabricated, false and without foundation. A spokesperson for Westwood previously said in April there had been no official or unofficial complaints against him in his career.
Davie said his original statement – that the BBC had not received any complaints – was based on “an initial round of analysis of HR files” which turned out to be incorrect. In a statement to the Guardian at the time, the BBC said he had “set out the position as he understood it at the time”.
Speaking as the corporation unveiled its annual report, he pledged to fully investigate the claims against Westwood. “We take this very seriously. I want to ensure anyone who’s got anything to bring relating to the BBC or time spent at the BBC – we fully investigate,” he said. “We have an internal audit separate to myself working to the senior independent director, Nick Serota, going through now, responding to anything that is coming into us.”
He added: “I don’t want to give a running commentary on that. It is not because I am lacking in transparency. It is just we want to do that work and then we will come back, and I think what we will do is publish something and summarise exactly to the questions.
“Here are the things we have got in – this is all we have got as the BBC, and be fully transparent around that. And we should get that out within the next two weeks.”
“We have no objective apart from to ensure everything is flushed out and we understand exactly what happened with regards to the BBC and also to do the right thing and [ensure] any cases are looked at.”
Westwood left the BBC in 2013 to join commercial radio station Capital Xtra, where he remained until the allegations were published earlier this year. The station is owned by Global, a privately owned media company which also controls LBC and Classic FM.
The Guardian has previously approached Global about whether it had received any complaints about Westwood’s behaviour. A spokesperson said: “If Global is going to provide comment we will let you know”, and did not respond to a further request for more information.

They didn’t take any action about allegations of Chris Evans exposing himself and being a bully. Here’s a quote from the above article by one of his accusers which sums up the spineless, spiteful Leftists who run the BBC perfectly:
He claimed Evans was “out of control” but his BBC bosses are too “scared to stand up to him”.
The mainstream broadcasting business is jam packed with self promoting willy wavers of all genders and most (not all) of the sitters at the top of those greasy poles rely on swatting away others trying to get a piece of the cake / noses in the trough.
The tabloiders rely on (and importantly, pay for) any toxic tittle tattle they can get – and if they have to invent it – they do.
The whole “key talent” thing is nauseating – the conceit and hubris of most broadcasting peeps really knows no bounds – it is very rare to come across somebody relaxed, honest and amusingly self deprecating.
They all deserve each other…
The luvvie world is a bizarre place full of those who don’t quite fit in the real world and which has no place in nature. The likes of us will only ever get to see snippetts of how they live their whole lives.
I went to a customer in the USA and they call all the famous people ‘talent’. Just after I arrived they were having a rehersal for the arrival of some famous skateboarder where the boss announced him like someone arriving at a society ball and the rest practised clapping.
There are clear parallels
Time Davie ‘I knew nothing of prior allegations about prior abuse by Westwood ..oh hang on”
Boris ‘I knew nothing of prior allegations about prior abuse by Pincher ..oh hang on”
Davie has not been brought down by his staff refusing to work with him

and also in the “news” Joe Biden heads to Middle East amid faltering US sway, 1 way would be good 🙂
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-62133978
Even mentions President Trump, but they seem to like Biden a lot more from the nice wording
– Biden’s peeps…. they’re going to avoid teleprompters – aren’t they?
What an utterly miserable shitshow.
Have the BBC goons showcased this Jan 6th “evidence”?
A third world show trial with only a prosecution – unbelievable – they really are frightened of President Trump …
… with a bit of luck Biden will get a public slap from the Saudis when he goes there to beg …
Fedup2
The Saudis are unlikely to try and humiliate Biden directly (he will likely do it to himself)- they need the bombs and mil-tech too much. It’s pretty tangled.
The important people to watch there are the Iranians, Israelis and the Indians…..
Tomo – I disagree – the Saudis can buy their US weapons from the Taliban supply – or maybe the Ukrainians …
The beardies are unlikely to get consumable ordnance in the quantity they want from either Kabul ot Kiev – if Joe’s involved they might start buying knock-offs from Shanghai…
Most people severely underestimate the visceral, murderous enmity between the Al Saud crew and the mullahs of Iran – I reckon there’s a nuclear cross hair on Riyadh as well as Tel Aviv.
I have to admit I am amazed by this dog and pony show. It’s at the intellectual level of a childrens TV show.
It’s the kind of thing which happens in Thailand when their target audience are the uneducated masses out in the sticks who have no clue about anything outside their village. Only the extremely stupid, the extremely naiive or the extremely biased could ever fall for it.
Yet the BBC are reporting it as if it should be taken seriously. If they have any jopurnalistic ethics at all, they would be pulling it apart as the farce it is. It’s 99% emotional inference and 1% fact.
Just like a lot of recent BBC articles now I think about it.
Probably what a tribal elder told Nick Robinson. Reportedly.
Any news yet about Panorama making an in-depth report about Telford?
Hello Taffman
I’ve sent the bBC directions to Telford, its a start
They’ll just report you for a hate crime and plod will come a knocking.
BBC News
Sometimes I can’t believe my ears – apparently – according to the BBC – ‘a number of companies ‘ have written to each blue labour candidate reminding them about the ‘net zero’ 2050 crap because they’ve stayed quiet on the issue …
… since when did companies become green crap campaigners ? Do they not realise that keeping huge taxes on fuel removes revenue and profit from those companies ? Insane . We are suffering a woke insane world ..
Burn that diesel … if you can afford it …
Second ‘ear’ problem
Sunak – sunak claiming to be a thatcher when it comes to public finances – the chap who has destroyed the economy – massive uncontrolled fraud and insane give aways ( PPE – Restaurant for starters ) and he claims ‘financial responsibility “….
That “reminding about Net Zero” is straight out of Harrabin’s playbook.
Let us not forget that his remit is BBC-wide and he has previous for infecting comedy, soaps, drama, “factual” programmes and news +”current affairs” – just look at 28Gate…

We all know that the BRITISH broadcasting corporation is
just an example of an oxymoron We also know that the
number one priority of the BBC is to “educate ” us on
diversity, inclusiveness and “positive discrimination”
Part of this is their doctrine is that all sport is equal . But
women’s football is more equal than others.
The 150th Open , and it is not called the British Open
as it was the first of its kind. Is taking place at the home
of golf at St Andrews tomorrow. But so far as the BBC is
concerned ,in the name of diversity there is only ONE
golfer playing . As it is in every golf tournament he plays
in , Tiger Woods.an American.
Woods WAS one of the finest golfers in the history of the
sport. But can somebody tell the BBC that a golf tournament
is not an event for ONE player.
Today
Growth numbers came out at 0700 – at -715 – in passing the idiot political editor mentioned in passing that the economy grew last month by 0.5% .. that’s what he said ,,
… to still have any growth now Is A Miracle – and perhaps shows that the project fear economics of ‘food or fuel ‘ does exactly affect a lot of people – and maybe the furlough give away money is still being spent ….
Unless – of course – that number turns out to be wrong .
Foscari
If only Tiger came out as Trans Woman the BBC would be wetting themselves uncontrollably !!
So pleased I no longer have a TVL and funding ther totally unbiased outlook……Panorama on the SAS shameful , so much for Tim’s reforms !
Tell us something we don’t know – or couldn’t have guessed edition
There are those who find great interest in watching rival rain drops inch their way down a window pain – and they may even venture some small wager on which drip drops first. But we’ll leave the commentary on the Tory leadership race to other interested parties.
Back where they belong, the Guardian takes pride of place in the BBC online newspaper line up this morning: Leadership battle leaves eight Tory rivals scrapping for votes.
We’ve noted before the liberal left’s obsession with process and their pious sense of propriety: The candidates are chosen – so what happens next? Claims of ‘dark arts’ amid campaigning on day of drama
As though leadership elections in the preferred Labour Party were ever likely to be contested in the spirit of the Marquess of Queensberry rules or with the jolly Corinthian disinterest of a village hall Beetle Drive – whatever they used to be?
This leftist sense of unrealistic other-worldly piety leads us inevitably toward BBC headlines such as: SAS killings: Former head of UK armed forces says he would order investigation – to which the obvious reply would be the popular WW2 answer to grumbling complaints of shortages: “Don’t you know there’s a war on?” – I’d prefer that printed on a million musuem gift shop mugs to the now overly ubiquitous and virgeing on the tiresome: Keep calm and carry on
But my favourite slogan option with a Blitz-era theme would be a borrowing from BBC’s vintage Dad’s Army when, from recollection, the wonderfully acted puffed up self-important pomposity of Arthur Lowe confronted the intransigent pettifogging of the ARP Warden Hodges in some minor dispute and Private Pike chipped in with: “Shoot him, Captain Mainwaring, you’ve got the right!”
Long past are even the early 1980s when BBC man Brian Hanrahan exclaimed: “I counted them out and I counted them all back” – coined during the Falklands War, with a mind to get around reporting restrictions without specifying actual numbers of aircraft. Now our BBC goes from a Hanrahan chancing his arm as the Exocets flew about aboard a carrier with our boys, to a Hannah O’Grady safe in the Panarama production office flinging her legal missiles at the SAS from safe distance.
The Guardian bangs on and on with their exclusive attack on Uber: Special investigation Day three – a story no other national title seems much fussed to put on their frontpages. Again with that naive sense of other-worldy piety: Greyball Uber used dummy app to evade regulators in Europe – I guess the Gruan forgets: Germany’s Biggest Automakers Fined €875 Million For Emissions Collusion (Forbes July 2021) – let me remind the Guardian how corporate cronyism and corporate leftist agenda fake virtue-signalling works.
Academics Six-figure sums for research used to promote firm (Guardian) – where to even begin to bring down the veritable avalanche of potential whataboutery on this one? Climate change research bunce…? Middle Eastern university funding fithy lucre…?
The other half of the Guardian frontpage is taken up with a large colour pic of: Star of the show: telescope’s stunning new view of space – you Guardianistas would do well to point your telescopes somewhat closer to home.
That baby Gruan, the left-leaning ‘i’, shrinks the space pic on their frontpage but expands its significance: Seen for the first time. Images of a distant cosmos – we recall TV comedy Only Fools & Horses – still available on streaming and on repeat as a stage adaptation – makes you wonder how come the BBC can’t make ’em like they used to? I digess. I was on the subject of Nasa’s new photos of space and was minded to quote Rodney Trotter’s catchphrase: “Cosmic!”
Rather than wonder at the wonder of it all our globalistic, atheistic FT seems to wonder why we bother: Humanity humbled. Space telescope lays bare our colossal insignificance. Anjana Ahuja
Corporate advertising sheet the giveaway Metro voices commuter moans over: Britain on red alert. Emergency services stuggling to cope ahead of ‘hottest day ever’… Feeling the heat: A commuter carries a fan to cool off in central London… Hot spot: On the London Underground – sounds to me like the best not-coming-into-work excuse note since Lockdown.
Our Advertising Standards Authority turn a blind eye to the further degradation of public standards of propreity as the Metro publishes frontpage a very rude cartoon gag from Confused.com that would be more at home on an adult mucky postcard stand by the seaside. But now I’ve been manipulated by those clever ad people into drawing your attention to it.
Do you hear that familiar distant drumbeat building?

Iran helping Russia (Times) – how exactly? …concerns that it is sending armed drones to help Russia in Ukraine – I doubt it.
Fears that criminals grab Ukraine arms (FT) – now this one rings true: Nato and EU states are pushing for better tracking of weapons supplied to the country in response to fears that crime gangs are smuggling them back out again on to Europe’s black market.
And in a vaguely similiar vein of uninteded yet rather predictable conseqences of overly-pious good intentions: Our recycling… dumped abroad. Tons fo plastic waste sent for processing are flytipped & burned in Turkey (Mirror)

On 12 July Mark Steyn goes to Northern Ireland ( or ‘the north ‘ as the BBC republicans would call it ) and promptly the live plug is pulled leaving us listening to dross from the fill in bloke who sound like he should be playing pop records ….

Today watch
90 plus minutes in – no mention of the Telford Report – apologies for Tommy Robinson – pattern of Pakistani men raping white English children – and no mention of the BBC attack on the SAS ….
How coherent is the BBC editorial ? How is it they are fixated on a coloured foreign runner who was illegally bought to England and been a cuckoo ever since …
… no one looked at his past to see that his lie about being a ‘refugee ‘ was a lie – no talk of the knighthood being removed …. In fact he will probably get the sports personality nonsense – I’ve not mentioned his name because it’s probably a lie …
As for Telford – look over there -sterile grey squirrels …
Wasn’t he the guy who ‘trafficked’ himself and his family to the US to avoid paying taxes in the country he loves so dearly ?
He lied and lied again to the world for years, telling us about the hurdles he overcame to succeed – which he now expects us to believe was a complete fabrication, but now, he explains, he’s telling us the truth…… couldn’t stand being out of the headlines, perhaps ?
And why is he not naming names if heinous crimes have been committed – and what about the others he mentioned on radio who ‘knew the truth’ – weren’t/aren’t they conspiring to protect people traffickers ? How many other lives were potentially badly affected if this new tale of woe is true, and no-one could be bothered to notify the police, in order to get these sorts of people off the streets ?

It was amazing how quick they knocked up the ‘vaccine’ for the Alpha variant but have been unable to tweak it for all the other variants since.
Tabs,
Problem is, the Covid has developed into a slippery, quickly transforming virus which cannot be nailed before it moves on. No time to design any vaccine to match. Come to think of it, perhaps this slippery strain originated in the House of Commons………..
Problem is, they don’t have to develop it any more as the world is happy to keep using a non effective ‘vaccine. Maximum profits for minimum R&D.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics, Fedup2 ? (Not yours, I hasten to add.)
“60% of those who died were disabled”
Really…..? Or are we perhaps conflating the ‘disabled’ with those people who had significant existing co-morbidities when they entered the health system with Covid.
Richard – when that stat was thrown out a little alarm bell rang -and maybe a particular definition of ‘disabled ‘ was being used – maybe disabled meant ‘feeling unwell ‘ or ‘old ‘… I don’t know …
TOADY Watch #1 – I think your subject knows all about integrity and lacking it
At about 6.45 a.m. there was a ‘Yesterday in Parliament’ segment with Tony Blair’s friend (co-conspirator? – he helped get him elected) Sir John Major giving evidence to some House Committee or other. John listed all Boris Johnson’s supposed crimes, at least one ‘fake’ among them. Will Marianna investigate? Almost certainly not.
Those of us with long memories could list John Major’s ‘crimes’, not least his incitement to terrorism in Northern Ireland just before the EU Referendum in June 2016. We might add to that list
– Helping to get the most damaging ‘evvah’ PM elected: Tony Blair
– Creating the need for Food Banks and debt counselling in, at the time, the world’s fifth largest economy
– Crashing the UK Property market
– A return to inflation and high interest rates
– Highest ‘evvah’, at the time, bus and rail fares
– The creation of the Fuel Duty Escalator
– Bringing HM Treasury to its knees and almost breaking the Bank of England
There’s more that could be added to that list, I am sure. Those who live in glasshouses, John Major, are unwise to throw stones at other people especially in politics.
Up2snuff
You can add to that the forcing through of the Maastrcht Treaty to create a ‘federal Europe’ without the general public having a vote on it.
Yeah, democracy, but not as the plebs would have liked it eh Johnny baby ?
Speaking of Johnnies-
Notice how the BBC voice skipped around the ‘sleaze’ issue by blaming Major’s senior cabinet members; (one of whom he was shagging at the time !)
Being a rampant Europhile seems to enable the BBC to gloss over these mere details.
“The government has no plans to introduce VAT on domestic fuel …AT THE MOMENT “ – John major balls – House of Commons …. Not quite lieing to parliament eh John ?
I seem to recall he was sha**ing good ol’ Edwina at the same time.

“UK border checks branded ‘shambolic’ ”
What’s our Tory Government , our Home Office and Home Secretary going to do about it beside promise and promise for the next ten years ?
ajs, Sir Mo (not his real name) cannot be deported, he is married to a Brit. Some good may come out of Sir Mo’s belated honesty: it may throw an increasing spotlight on the evils of people trafficking and modern slavery and really get the UK Government (and others?) to clampd down hard on the criminals who do this.
Wot abaht cries for compensation?
G, you have a good point. The woman who bought Mo Farah (not his real name) to this country and enslaved him, if she ever received any Benefits (probably received Child Benefit x3, think it was) should repay them and her Government overseas (was she also a Somali?) should compensate the UK generously.
HA HA HA! Cheap Labour!
Today update
0755 – the chair of the Telford inquiry ‘interviewed ‘ by a bbc imbecile ( EU Adler ) – can you guess what nationality wasn’t mentioned ? In fact – nothing about the criminals – 180 seconds later it was time for the weather … now back to the East African runner with a knighthood and a false name – that’s more important to the BBC than industrial level child rape by paki men …
Want evidence of BBC bias ? On a plate ..
Its grooming if its Asians but sexual abuse if its a Prince.
And if you belive Mo Farah you’ll belive anything. His athletics career is over as was his advertising one so probably re invented himself as a trafficing victim. Hopefully the police will be looking for the people involved if they ever actually existed/ are still alive.

TOADY Watch #2 – Doh! Look at the evidence before your eyes
Amol Rajan takes a look at UK and English Covid-19 rates of infection (said to be rising) and observes that there will be a new push to increase vaccination in the UK. The statistic was given: 1 in 23 people in England, 1 in 17 in Scotland, have the virus and 150 million doses of the vaccine have been administered. Do the science, Amol! Amol is not sharp enough to realise that the problem is not the disease but the so-called ‘vaccines’. They do not work.
Now, don’t get me wrong: I’m not an Anti-Vaxxer. I believe in science and also vaccines where some good can and has been achieved. But you really need to look at the evidence. If cases are rising despite most of the adult UK population having had three doses or more, therefore the Covid ‘vaccines’ are becoming ineffective after a very short time and their effect is wearing off. They are a waste of time and the UK’s money.
I would not stop anyone getting the vaccine if they think it helps but I would plead, do so in conjunction with a consult with your GP first. From personal experience I know the problems that can arise from medications and vaccines, especially if you have other conditions or are taking other prescriptions.

Thanks for that link, tomo. I will enjoy having a read of that.
The current dominant strain in the UK may be a mix of Omicron mutations and Delta mutations, a previous dominant specimen. As I understand it, similar viruses can get together, have a bit of a wrestle and then produce further mutations.

Wrinkly YouTuber historian Simon Webb has done a useful summary of the tale of the Swine Flu vaccine that is relevant
Thalidomide is a drug that was developed in the 1950s by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal GmbH. It was originally intended as a sedative or tranquiliser, but was soon used for treating a wide range of other conditions, including colds, flu, nausea and morning sickness in pregnant women.11 Dec 2019
There was a vaccine trial in Southeast Africa about 20 years ago
that had to be called off cos it led to deaths
BBC radio had a report about it
tomo, there needs to be an investigation into whether the mRNA ‘vaccines’ cause heart attacks. A lot of athletes have had heart attacks or even pegged it.
Up2snuff
while viruses can have jumpy genetics – I’m not aware that there have been crosses between Omicron and prior bugs.
– I daresay some inventive eejit in a newsroom somewhere might have invented some (Express + Mail main culprits usually) – it’d fit right in with the rest of the mendacious scaremongering bilge they’ve been chucking into the feed hopper.
tomo, Omi & Delta are both of the Covid-19 thing but are, according to many Doctors, effectively SARS-CoV-2 which is bird ‘flu’.

I should have mentioned in the above post (TOADY Watch #2) that the increase in Covid cases are only an estimate and they are based on the Lateral Flow test with all its limitations. Just remembered to reassure you all, after a prompt by AISI in his/her brilliant newspaper review above.
I’ve just been looking at the 38 recommendations of the Telford report . Only 3 refer to the criminals – the rest are largely admin type ‘monitoring ‘ stuff …
If I was running an organised Pakistani rape white girls gang I don’t think I’d need to worry about any change of ‘business method ‘
I’m appalled at the absence of reality evidenced in those report recommendations …. Nothing will change apart from public officials being better equipped to avoid responsibility through ‘committees ‘ ….
The absurd AOC ….
Tomo – thank you – the cause and effect of places like Sri Lanka -…. And if it can happen there….
It’s deeply troubling . I’m trying to think of a historical comparison and what the outcome was … if you tax people too much – they eventually revolt – if you starve people of food or fuel – you get Sri Lanka
So the current events in Holland are vitality important and deserve some attention – not the no attention the msm give them .
But knowing what is on the ‘disapproved ‘ list for the BBC – farming is right there ….
Will a heat wave cause power cuts as the wind don’t blow ….

The Telford report
I’ve a bit of experience with public inquiries into failure.
So looking at this report – it is huge – 1200 pages 4volumes – just too much . I could not find the usual ‘executive summary ‘ .
I’m trying to figure out what it is for ? Who will really benefit ? What will really change ?
I found a throw away in volume four about the response of the Pakistani Muslim ‘community ‘ has been ‘limited ‘ and get the feeling that this report has not involved them because they didn’t want to be involved .
Basically – there is a brick wall . On one side is the whole admin in of partnerships and committees and politics and blame avoidance – and on the other side of the wall is an alien third world pakistani ‘gang’ which sees nothing wrong with exploiting and raping indigenous children .
The standard method of CSE ( child sexual exploitation) is helpfully described in volume one – if you want to set up your own gang….
Police … you can kneel to a death in USA.
Police .. cannot help children in Telford.
I saw earlier that Twitter was *very* obviously censoring commentary on the Telford business. (heavy handed even)
– since somebody in San Fransico HQ / offices is rather unlikely to be even aware of Telford – we simply must assume that there’s a local interface for censoring regional content.
So… who in the UK has been tasked with moderating Twitter content? – as in setting up the combinations of boo words and “troublemaker” accounts to be knobbled?

Sri Lanka’s president flees country amid unrest
The economic crisis in Sri Lanka has meant that some foods, medication and fuel are in short supply. This has led to mass protests against the government, with demonstrators storming President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s residence at the weekend. Mr Rajapaksa has been in hiding ever since and has pledged to resign. It has now emerged he has fled the country. The 73-year-old, his wife and two security officials left by military jet, with the country’s air force confirming they had flown to the Maldives. His brother had already left the country and the president’s departure ends a family dynasty that has ruled Sri Lanka for decades. After the news broke, some Sri Lankans heard cries of “victory to the struggle” but others are furious that he has left as it shows a lack of accountability.

Golly, BBC… ‘unrest’, where might that stem from?

Chakrabarti defends Jeremy Corbyn’s Venezuela remarks

Shadow attorney general says Labour leader is ‘lifelong human rights defender’
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/03/shami-chakrabarti-defends-jeremy-corbyn-venezuela-remarks
The shadow attorney general, Shami Chakrabarti, has defended Jeremy Corbyn after the Labour leader was criticised for attacking “outside interference” against Venezuela’s socialist government.
The former director of the human rights organisation Liberty hit out at the regime of Nicolás Maduro over torture and “disappearances” of political opponents, saying it was important for leftwing politicians to be evenhanded.
But she said Corbyn was “a lifelong human rights defender” who struggled to get a fair hearing in the media.

Public Accounts Committee
The Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) justified the scale of investment, in part, on the basis that an effective test and trace system would help avoid a second national lockdown – but since its creation we have had two more lockdowns.
In its report Public Accounts Committee says that while NHST&T clearly had to be set up and staffed at incredible speed, it must now “wean itself off its persistent reliance on consultants”; there is still no clear evidence of NHST&T’s overall effectiveness; and it’s not clear whether its contribution to reducing infection levels – as opposed to the other measures introduced to tackle the pandemic – can justify its “unimaginable” costs.

UK extremists ‘funded by small donations’, says report (by uk gov) {bbc jul2017}
“Islamist extremist organisations (what is the definition or list of these?) in the UK receive hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, in the form of small, anonymous British-based donations, a long-awaited report has concluded….At no point does the summary refer to Saudi Arabia or any other country that has been accused of funding extremism in the UK.”
– in summary, it cannot be tracked.
– what about Sharia bonds?
– Five Whitehall buildings held by wealthy businessmen now operating under Sharia rules (including a ban on alcohol)
– Cameron admits Saudi Arabia funds extremist schools – so why are they still our allies? {express jan2016}
– what about welfare payments to terrorists – are these the small, anonymous British-based donations? Can I stop paying NI as not to pay for terrorists like Khalid Masood and Anjem Choudary
“To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of reports by the BBC’s Panorama programme in 2010 that approximately 5,000 pupils in the UK are being taught the Saudi national curriculum, what action has been taken to ensure that school text books originating in Saudi Arabia which propagate hate speech and religious intolerance are not being used in schools, clubs and weekend schools in the UK. ”
“Ofsted have not found any evidence of the text books referred to in the programme being used in schools that they have inspected.” – uk government’s response
{theyworkforyou 05Dec2016}
“In a written response to the findings, the Saudi ambassador to the UK said the teachings were not endorsed by the Saudi embassy.” – Saudi Arabia’s response – {guardian nov2010}
“It claims (BBC Panorama) to have found 5,000 Muslim schoolchildren being taught that some Jews are transformed into pigs and apes and that the penalty for gay sex is execution. Some textbooks are said to teach the correct way to chop off the hands and feet of thieves. A spokesman for the programme said the pupils, aged six to 18, attend a network of more than 40 weekend schools across the country which teach the Saudi national curriculum to Muslim children.” – {guardian nov2010}
Remember when the BBC actually chased the story …
“…birthdays, remember, are the practices of disbelievers and immoral people. {bbc panorama video 2010}” @8:33
“… the books (supposed to originate from London) turn out to be the Saudi Official National Curriculum. {bbc panorama video 2010}” @22:13
Amber Rudd, are schools teaching “Islamist extremist material” being tracked?
A DEGREE OF INFLUENCE: The funding of strategically important subjects in UK universities
“What is noticeable from the research undertaken in this report is the disparity
in the levels of funding from the countries studied. There are huge amounts
of cash currently being donated by Arab and Islamic sources (University of Cambridge / £1.2m / UAE / Appointment of a full-time lecturer specialising in Islam / 1996), and this has undoubtedly
led to a degree of influence in the oversight of UK universities. China,
however, while donating only a relatively small amount of cash, has managed
to gain a disproportionate amount of influence in UK higher education via its
Confucius Institutes. What is also clear is that, in terms of money donated, the
likes of Japan and Russia do not appear to have the desire to influence higher
education in the same way as China or certain countries in the Muslim world.”

Bradford has been crowned UK City of Culture 2025, taking on the prestigious title from Coventry UK City of Culture 2021.31 May 2022
…..
On the afternoon of January 14, 1988, 1,000 protesters gathered in Bradford, UK to burn a copy of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses. The protest marked a dramatic escalation in the controversy surrounding the 1988 novel, which would eventually elicit a fatwa from Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini sentencing Rushdie to death.14 Jan 2014
I’m simply lost for words-how can such a place possibly be crowned UK CITY of Culture 2025? The City is surely at least 90% Asian and with a majorty male population. The birth rate will be at least 3 times that of the white indigenous folk, as long as they continue to allow a Muslim man to have more than one wife. A place most favoured by the Taffikers.
90% my ass ; There are always about 350K white people in Bradford
The “South Asian population did rapidly rise 50% : from 89K in 2001 to 149K in 2021
The 2011 demographics show whites dominate most areas
then 2 strong areas with Asian popn
White vs Asian density ..pink indicates less than 55%, red indicates more than 55%
Yes where is the 2021 data ? I guess 300K white people have not disappeared…… YET

Nothing to do with the bbc being sponsored by the eu
ajs, but is the BBC marching in lockstep with the Guardian, Daily Mirror, Trade Unions and the Labour Party?
Global Socialism, its aims and objectives. The BBC declares itself as a ‘progressive’ liberal organisation. The word ‘progressive’ is used by the left to ‘progress’ the left socialistic agenda, global reach – hence: COVID, ABORTION, GENDER, RACE, CLIMATE CHANGE, FOOD, TRANSPORT and ENERGY as defined by socialism as planet ‘HEALTH’ and Marxism as the ‘answer’ to saving the planet. Its is coordinated by the-usual-suspects who are unelectable but follow same protocol. Read:
SAUL ALINSKY here
They know this is the only way to create a CRISIS where none exists… Emergency powers to create a climate of Emergency, where they take control. Just as ‘SAGE’ assumed control during the pandemic. But permanent.
Socialism is a disastrous form of government. At the end of the Reagan era, it appeared that socialism had been assigned to the ash heap of history. So what is fueling socialism’s revival in America? Dinesh D’Souza, author of ‘The United States of Socialism’,
Essential watching. in fact this should be taught at all schools, the dangers of a ‘socialism’ as peddled by the BBC as a UTOPIA (it never was) and pushed by the media in the UK and US Left, who have suddenly found billions of Dollars by spreading project FEAR across western nations. Its 2020 but highly relevant to what Biden is doing stateside. The Left have created a CRISIS and they are not going to let it go, until broke (aka Gordon Brown).

RTE director-general Dee Forbes welcomed the interim funding committed to by Government, and said the national broadcaster would engage with the technical group on the “utterly broken” licence fee system.
Sounds like first the Eire gov is keeping the licence fee but topping it up from tax
Did anyone catch the Scottish co presenter ( Eilidh Barbour) at the end of the England v Norway game talking about diversity in the England team…she said all players were white and said she would introduce Alex Scott to comment. I switched off so don’t know what Alex ( a black personage) said and frankly I dont care.
As weeks go the bBc has surpassed itself
1) A very dangerous panorama programme about the SAS in Afghan
wow this served only to further highlight the militant republican
mindset operating within this organ
2) the complete failure to properly pin the abuse in Telford upon the perpetrators namely; Pakistanis.
And furthermore to fail in calling for the deportation of these abusers on completion of their sentences….on behalf of the British public who are forced to pay for this abomination under the threat of prosecution.
3) The list of top bBc earners or put another way the Licence Fee Thieves list, however, being a sly operation the list is a deflection.
The real theft will be the next layer down…£75,000-149,000
where no breakdown is available. Wonder why?
Listen closely to these 8 would be, PM,s – in view of the points above alone a call should be made to announce its all over for the bBc
It is to be sold.
are any of them up to the challenge? As a victim of a targeted bBc campaign surely Boris will say something,,,and if he doesn’t then
so long.
people on Twitter noticed it was played at half time during 2 games
England women boss it winning 8-0 against the 8th best team in the world in a home euros and the bbc do a 10 minute documentary at half time of a match nothing to do with England on how there’s lack of diversity in the English team.
ust watching the Denmark v Finland Ladies.
At the half time interval, the BBC put on a report about the lack of Black players in the England Ladies team.
Er, hello, what about the absence of white players in the England men’s team!
BTW Lord Sugar pointed out the BBC one way diversity
ie female football seems to have ONLY female commentators
Ah OK the BBC Euros half time DIVERSITY video is not a new thing
It is merely an edit of the BBC 1 hour campaign prog Alex Scott: The Future of Women’s Football

Gettting my money’s worth from the BBC today as they work hard to inform us of the various policies of Tory candidates……or not… as I listen to an interview on 5 Live with a Sunak supporter and the BBC is purely obsessed with trivia such as when he registered his website, and when the supporter tried to steer it onto policy the presenter swittched back and banged on about Rishi Sunak deploying ‘dark arts’.
Just so much nonsense….and of course this was how they reported on Boris….a tidal wave of piffle, one might say, piled up into a towering edifice of nonsense sensationalised into scandalous crises and thus ‘Boris must go!’….and all this blotted out the real news for months, if not years.
Kuenssberg inadvertently admitted as much this morning as she trailed her new programme, er hatchet job, on Boris where she quoted a Minister saying governing and carrying out manifesto promises was made extremely difficult by being massively distracted and having to firefight the ‘scandals’ [that the media themselves created].
So the BBC et al made governing the country in the midst of covid, war and a cost of living crisis all but impossible…and went so far as to mount a coup that deposed a Prime MInister elected with an 80 seat majority!
There really does need to be an inquiry into the media’s role in politics and society, and how damaging it is.
And let’s see the BBC reaction as candidates state they will end the licence fee.
And interesting the different reactions to Sunak’s green card and Mo Farrah’s illegal entry into this country and his years of lying to us all….apparently an ‘inspirational story’ says the BBC.
Pug, I was listening to that as Nicky Campbell let the mask slip.
He mentioned JRM’s criticism of Rishi that some of his policies are socialist… “Heaven forfend, people will say…!” is Nicky’s response.
Anyone noticed that Ukraine’s dropped off the no.1 spot and rising covid cases are moving up the charts again?
And — like clockwork — the Telford report has all but disappeared off the news page, to be replaced with “You don’t hear of Muslim girls skateboarding”
— “Lena, Maysa and Ameya took up the sport after seeing British Olympian Sky Brown’s “flicks and tricks” during the pandemic. The girls now post their skateboarding exploits along with raps they create on social media.”
High level deviancy from the BBC newsdodgers.

Worth noting perhaps that Suella Braverman is the only candidate that voted against Theresa May’s ‘non-Brexit’ each time.
https://facts4eu.org/news/2022_jul_suella_braverman
“All seven of the other candidates voted for it on all three occasions”
I checked and this is correct.

BBC Beyond 100 DAYS … Simon Schama BBC@£200K giving his opinion on – Trump bad for USA.
“..I’m slightly amazed at our colleagues (Simon Schama BBC@£200K) ability to get big laughs on gang rape…I’m not much of a feminist but I draw the line at the 3 year old getting raped, and the seven year old getting gang raped in a basement. (audience claps)” – Mark Steyn {youtube The Munk debate @4:46}
Simon Schama BBC@£200K – I knew I’d seen that name Schama before. This is what Simon said earlier to ignite Mark Steyn’s response ….
“…I’m just struck by how obsessed by sex these two guys (Farage/Steyn) are, it’s a bit sad really… (audience laughs, Simon smiles)” – Simon Schama (£200K BBC Salary) {youtube The Munk debate @2:00}

Maybe Sir Mo will open up more on the fact that he
was entering on his Doping Control forms that he was only
taking “Magnesium”. When in fact L-Carnitine an “iffy” drug used
to increase oxygen flow to the heart, came into the equation.
But don’t expect the BBC to ever mention this aspect of
Sir Mo’s phenomenal athletic success.
Feb 4 (Reuters) – Russia has agreed a 30-year contract to supply gas to China via a new pipeline and will settle the new gas sales in euros, bolstering an energy alliance with Beijing amid Moscow’s strained ties with the West over Ukraine and other issues.
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-russia-china-agree-30-year-gas-deal-using-new-pipeline-source-2022-02-04/
Gazprom , which has a monopoly on Russian gas exports by pipeline, agreed to supply Chinese state energy major CNPC with 10 billion cubic metres of gas a year, the Russian firm and a Beijing-based industry official said.
