So of course they have the Greenpeace guy on .. Rex Wiler
presenter expressing horror that dome people kill and eat whales.
Item seems to be 40 years of the International Moratorium on Whaling.
So the Greenpeace guy turned this into an excuse to do Greenpeace history.
“We were a peace group, then we met this whale researcher working in Vancouver, and we thought this it it, we have to save the whale”
“We got these little rubber dinghies and put ourselves between the whale herd and the Russian whalers”
MM….that’s climate change that is.
That last sentence sums up what these greenpeace gits are all about. They attention seekers trying to be seen as fearless hero’s getting between the whales and the whalers in their little rubber boats, hoping this will show them as selfless unflinching hero’s when in fact they are fully aware that they are 100% protected by their allegiance to greenpeace 190% guarantees that no one would do anything to bring about a furious green faux backlash.
It’s entirely possible that most of them did their training in their bedrooms on some zombie shootemup games,

“NHS facing surge in demand amid extreme weather warning”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62169184
Once again we have “Could”, “Could”, and “Could”.
Interestingly we have “behavioural change and the key thing was to “prepare” government services.”
Is it the government’s place to operate “behavioural change”?
More Fear, fear, and fear!
Its about time the government prepared their services to operate in normal times, something it has not done for years . Hence the mess in the NHS .
Taff.
Interesting woman on GB News earlier today pointing out that in ‘olden’ days if the weather got up around 30 degrees you would see a weather report map with a nice yellow sun showing it as a lovely summer day compared to now where it’s shaded dark red and weather warnings all over the news.
It’s another part of the nudge.
I remember hot summers, they were great and they usually lasted about 2 or 3 days until the thunderstorm.
Now we have weather warnings almost all the time.
Emmanuel Goldstein
Exactly !
Years, ago storms were just storms, now there is a department full of people giving them names .
Have they forgotten the summer of 1976 ?
Nudge, nudge or behavioural change , two cheeks of the same @r5e.

Matt Ridley in The Telegraph writes (edited)
Highlights the BBC ignorance in Sri Lanka’s collapse, from one of the fastest growing Asian economies to a political, economic collapse seems to have taken everybody by surprise…
Five years ago, the World Bank was extolling “how Sri Lanka intends to transition to a more competitive and inclusive upper-middle income country”. Right up to the middle of last year, despite the impact of the pandemic, the country’s misery index (inflation plus unemployment) was low and falling. Then the misery index took off like a rocket, quintupling in a year.
What happened? There is a simple explanation, one that the BBC seems determined to downplay. In April 2021, president Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced that Sri Lanka was banning most pesticides and all synthetic fertiliser to go fully organic. Within months, the volume of tea exports had halved, cutting foreign exchange earnings. Rice yields plummeted leading to an unprecedented requirement to import rice. With the government unable to service its debt, the currency collapsed.
As the agricultural scientist Prof Channa Prakash of Tuskegee University in Alabama once told me: “Sure, organic agriculture is sustainable: it sustains poverty and malnutrition.” Farming was organic when millions died in famines every decade and the US prairies turned into dustbowls for lack of fertiliser to hold the soil during droughts.
But if you watch or listen to the BBC, you will hear little of this.
In the Netherlands, too, farmer protests are mainly about a policy of reducing the use of nitrogen fertiliser. In this country, organic farming gets publicity far out of proportion to its actual contribution: about 3 per cent of Britain’s farmland is organic.
…
If the world abandoned nitrogen fertiliser that was fixed in factories, the impact on human living standards would be catastrophic….to feed eight billion people with organic methods we would need to put more than twice as much land under the plough and the cow. That would consign most of the world’s wetlands, nature reserves and forests to oblivion.

I wonder who /what the WEF will blame ?
I reckon they’ll say ‘to slow ‘ or ‘not enough reform “
I just hope the ordinary Sri lankanian ? Joe gets to find out the cause of the chaos – but not from the BBC woke service eh?
Makes one wonder if anyone will ‘take out’ the WEF ?
I see Rajapaksa has fled to Singapore. Surely Schwab or Gates has a spare back room to offer him?
The British blockade of Germany in WW1 meant the Krauts couldn’t get enough fertiliser, hence less yields from their farms , less food , a lower ability to fight Spanish Flu .
These people are too distant from the reality – too young to recall pre-industrialisation on any scale (as we all, alive today are), too arrogant, and cut off from the real world to actually have a clue how necessary these things are to sustain the human population, and lifestyle we now have (and clearly take for granted).
Without modern, intensive farming, without oil, and oil based transport and chemicals (plastics!!!), we’d very quickly move into a new dark age with mass famine, horrific and deadly outbreaks of disease, and appalling social upheaval and conflict, the survivors would have to resort to cannibalism to survive, and most wouldn’t, along with many of the achievements of humanity, many species, and perhaps any form of civilisation.
In comparison, the worst ‘climate catastrophes the doomsayers can dream up would be like a walk in the park.
IF there is something behind this global warming idea (and it seems more plausible in a mid-summer heatwave, than it does mid-winter cold snap, for some unfathomable reason), the only way forward is to use science and technology to find workable alternatives. Just ‘stopping’ ‘oil’, or ‘plastics’, or ‘fertiliser’ without an alternative that works is a dreadful idea!
Hilarious….if you’re not Raheem Sterling….
‘Awkward moment BBC News presenter Mike Bushell reported on Premier League footballer accused of rape while image of Raheem Sterling was wrongly displayed in the background’
If this had been another broadcaster, say GB News, the BBC would be slating them as racist…they can’t tell Black people apart…..oh….am I stereotyping? Is the accused black? We’ll have to wait for the ‘Debunked History’ video to find out.
Not named yet ? 29 ? Engerland player – spurs or arsenal ?
There are only 2 candidates ….bit mad reporting it at all …
OMG….’The Science’ is back….Sir Patrick has found another nightmare terror tale to keep us under control….no doubt he’ll be guest of honour on the BBC for years to come….
‘ Sir Patrick Vallance has warned that the world is about to face ’50 years of really big problems relating to climate’ in a briefing to MPs.
The chief scientific adviser suggested that the turmoil will be worse than what was faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted two-and-a-half years.
Monday’s briefing was intended to inform 70 MPs about the current state of the climate to aid policy making.
He said: ‘To give three observational facts… the world is warmer than it was, the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are higher than they have ever been, and extreme weather events are more common than before all this happened.
‘That’s what we face, and the aim of this briefing… is to speak about the science.’ ‘
I would advise Sir Patrick to go and lecture countries like China, India, Russia , the USA etc etc etc .
The economic sacrifices the Bo Jo and his altar of net zero policy is destroying the economy of Great Britain.
What Tory voted for that one ?
“the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are higher than they have ever been” – doesn’t sound much like hard ‘scientific’ fact to me. Am pretty sure the ESTIMATES of the experts in the field (there seems to be a huge amount of ‘guesstimation’ involved in ‘climate science’) put it much, much higher in some earlier eras, and given the amount of CO2 major volcanic eruptions can produce, which can dwarf anything we can produce, it seems highly likely it was.
Patrick Vallance links to Bill Gates funding of his business interests in global drug pandemics, some would say. LBC confirmed (on air) that he did take funding but Vallance said ‘.it was not for me personally, but for ‘funding’ of my institute. For mis-informing us all he was later made a Lord. Lord Vallance.
https://www.thebernician.net/the-defendants-their-gates-connections-patrick-valance/
I would say he’s right. He probably has another 20 years in him, but the other hysterics leaving uni have 50 years worth of shrieking nonsense before sense prevails again and everyone realises chicken licken wasn’t right!
Looks like it will probably be Rishi v one of the wimmin.
They say Rishi will lose when the vote goes out to the members.
I hope the Tories MPs don’t use the American vote counting machines.
Voting? I heard it was the BBC that had the only vote that counts…..they got rid of Boris so only fair they find a replacement for him.
Who is more difficult for Labour
Poshboy Rishi ? or a black woman ?
Posh boy is easy because of the wife – money – non Dom – green card – money tree – easier to run the blue labour sleeze narrative – also – rishi is too manufactured for the Commons –
I still reckon if it’s between rishi and truss – truss does a pseudo thatcher and gets the gig …
I’m more interested whether they go for a really early election or bottle like G Brown , the economy is bad but it’s gonna get far worse in the next 24 months …. So chance it now and have a 10 majority – with nut nut maybe campaigning for the new PM .. maybe
And the blue tories are chucking money back at the original owners ( apart from total benefits fiends and frauds of course ) £236 today with another taste in a month ….?
Can I get some too ?
EG
Well if anyone has the cash to fix the election it is the in – laws – … I heard the thing about the one who comes second in the ballot being the winner in Tory elections …
… I also think that almost all of those red wall tories are now out of touch with their locals by now after being fed nut nut green crap for a couple of years
I still reckon on Truss even with a financial (£8) interest in her win . Whether she’d be any good as a PM – who knows ? But if she has a picture of Mrs Thatcher in her room – that might help …
I think the conservatives will look at maudent and the coloured girl and say ‘go get a life ‘….

Is that a form of privilege ?
Try trespassing at the BBC studios….bet you’re not given a warm welcome however alienated you are by their programming.
I’ve taken country walks with black friends, and those of other ethnicities (in my uni/research days I had friends/students and co-workers of every colour).
From those experiences I’d like to make three observations:
1. Everyone, even farmers, were interested to see people of non-white ethnicities in the countryside, and often went out of their way to say “hello, we don’t see many people like you around here, please come again, you’re very welcome”. I’ve never experienced them say anything like that to white people.
2. The biggest local landowner (a lord) near my home has a half-Nigerian wife, who shares the big (it really is) house with him, and her (fully) Nigerian mother stays in a cottage on his ginormous estate. Before him, his father had a taste for ethnic ‘wifelets’, and had at least 50 of various shades dotted around the estate in cottages in his heyday (I suspect you can guess from that who these local landowners might be?)
3. Chinese and other East Asian people seem to like country walks as much as us English people, South Asians and Blacks generally do NOT, and normally consider it beneath them to walk in the countryside (which is where poor, smelly peasants live – to them, successful people all live in nice clean apartments in big cities and don’t get mud on their nice shiny shoes).
The countryside is not ‘racist’, quite honestly, many black and brown people are though… and snobs too.
I thought the whole trespass in the countryside thing was done 90 years ago by Benny Rothman, Ewan MacColl and The Young Communist League.

‘We have to change that narrative’: Sheffield walking group aims to widen access to nature among BAME communities
https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2020-10-01/we-have-to-change-that-narrative-sheffield-walking-group-aims-to-widen-access-to-nature-among-bame-community
A South Yorkshire walking group is aiming to widen access to the great outdoors among black and ethnic minorities.
The group, Black Men Walk for Health was created in Sheffield in 2004, in order to improve physical and mental health through exercise, nature and companionship.
They have also created a theatre production addressing questions of identity, history and asserting a rightful place in the countryside.
“To see black faces in white landscapes or landscape deemed the rural idyll is something new that people are not used to, so our group is trying to say no, we have to change that narrative and to fashion a new narrative that is inclusive and that nature belongs to everyone.”
Oil price has fallen to $95 a barrel probably in anticipation of some success in the Biden begging tour, if he can remember where he is, and not totally wind up the Saudi by calling them every ism and fauxbia his demented mind can recall.
Micron has already told him that there is no spare capacity and Saudi are actually buying oil from Russia – probably because they can buy it cheaper than they can seel it, and dozy Biden doesn’t realise he’s buying Russian oil in breach of the sanctions.
Not that that would bother the criminal Democrats with the November midterms coming up – wouldn’t put it past them to try to source Russian oil indirectly under cover if they thought they could get it into the country and bring down fuel prices in the states.
Meanwhile millions of cars have been repossesed on lease / loan defaults, and the next rate rise hasn’t even happened yet! Some of these loans are reportedly 1405 of the cars original value because no repayments at all have been made.
Expect this to follow in this country if our hopelessly incompetent BoE governor actually manages act soon on inflation and raises interest rates.
Thoughtful – tucker says that a gallon of gas in Mexico is 25% less than in California – they are all heading south to fill up …we might think this country is in a mess but the US ? Ugh ..

Something tells me that the ‘rejoiners’ are likely to be in charge .
The Tories are in the “Last Chance saloon”, mess this up again and they are finished .
A couple of days ago here – there was a discussion about a dirty bomb / nuclear attack on New York . I ridiculed it a bit – although I know some loon will try a dirty one some day –
Anyway – watching last nights ‘ tucker Carlson – he shows a public information film being shown in New York about what to do after a nuclear attack …. The ultimate project fear – but this one might be real … it’s 59 days to 9/11 … gulp …
TO be honest a full scale nuclear war with Russia would be unsurvivable, but there are many countires now who possess nuclear weapons and the use of one would indeed be survivable.
The US is obviously a target, but so is Britain, and unlike the US Britain is completely undefended and exposed. Where an attack on the US might be detected and fail, Britain is a much softer target as in the unlikely event we did detect something, we wouldn’t be able to stop it
Surely Russia has unstoppable hypersonic nuclear missiles plus a huge number of normal missiles, that’ll overwhelm USA’s or anyone else’s defences.
“Only Japan and Germany, countries occupied by the US military after World War 2, host more US airmen than Britain.”
https://declassifieduk.org/us-air-force-deployment-in-britain-is-third-largest-in-world/
That public information nuke warning was – I strongly suspect – issued by the Democrat administration in New York city/state- and if you’ve seen / listened to the frankly unhinged old trout who’s the state governor she’s full of it.
Joe Biden is crumbling in front of our eyes and his son seems intent on committing spectacular reputational Harakiri despite the efforts of the US MSM – and the nuke scare aligns neatly with the Democrats obviously terrified of TEOTWAWKI.
Consider if CNN, CNBC, PBS , NPR all went to town with what many of us already know about the Bidens and somebody did an honest assessment of Kamala Harris’s fitness for high office – the meltdown would burn through the earth’s core.
It doesn’t take 13 minutes to repeal stuff we’ve known about since before the stolen election …
Rumours have it the Saudi’s intend to Snub Biden on his begging tour as only a minor royal will meet him at the airport. If Biden is silly enough to raise human rights issues and that of the murder of Jamal Khassoggi it will not go down well
Can but be hoped – I suppose they have to send someone to the airport – and the usual signs of ‘solidarity ‘ whilst putin makes the Saudis even richer without even trying .
Why would they increase production to reduce the price ? Nut nut tried and failed … and they new where they stood with president trump …
They know where they stand with dopey Joe, he’s made it perfectly clear he hates them for their treatment of the gays and blacks and he’s said he wants to turn Saudi into a pariah state, now he needs the oil and the boot is on the other foot.
Reminds me this article:
Jamal Khashoggi: Saudi embassy street in US renamed after murdered journalist

By the Washington DC Democrat council.
‘”We intend to remind the people who are hiding behind those doors, we intend to remind them every day, every hour, every minute, that this is Jamal Khashoggi Way,” said Sarah Leah Whitson’
This story has Leftist ‘moral superiority’ spite written all over it. Every single Saudi must have their nose rubbed in it – even though non of them had anything to do with it and it happend in another country. And I presume Biden knows about it and approves. What a diplomat …

No surprise…not only is the BBC’s programming more about hectoring, lecturing and messaging, it’s all crap.
Just how much TV do you watch these days?
I’m betting many people are very, very selective these days and barely watch anything on the BBC….especially if you’re male….real male….and no….Top Gear is abysmal [Should have gone full-time with real characters like that Rory Reid bloke and Sabine…though she is sadly passed away I believe…instead we get half-witted celebrities].
‘Nearly two million people told the BBC they no longer required a licence fee last year, as the corporation predicted that more viewers will desert them this year.
A total of 1.96 million households said they did not watch the BBC or other live television in 2021-22, a rise of 270,000 on the previous year and equating to £42 million in lost revenue.
The figures were contained in TV Licensing’s annual report, which warned that licence fee income would decline as more people switched to streaming services or decided they could no longer afford the £159-per-year outlay.’
From the DT
WE ARE WINNING
STARTS
Nearly two million people told the BBC they no longer required a licence fee last year, as the corporation predicted that more viewers will desert them this year.
A total of 1.96 million households said they did not watch the BBC or other live television in 2021-22, a rise of 270,000 on the previous year and equating to £42 million in lost revenue.
The figures were contained in TV Licensing’s annual report, which warned that licence fee income would decline as more people switched to streaming services or decided they could no longer afford the £159-per-year outlay.
“The BBC expects its licence fee income will fall, at least in the short-to-medium-term, because of cost of living increases since the start of 2022, and the continuing decline in licence sales arising from changes in how audiences view television content,” the report said.
There has also been a significant increase in the evasion rate, which reached 8.9 per cent in 2021-22.
The BBC blamed this on two factors: the suspension of home visits by TV Licensing enforcers due to Covid restrictions, and the inclusion of over-75s in the evasion figures following the scrapping of their free licences.
Around one in 10 over-75s has ignored the BBC’s letters telling them to pay for a licence or apply for a free one.
‘Strike the right balance’
As a result, the report said, “during the coming year we will deepen our efforts to reach customers in ways that suit them best”.
It said the relaxation of Covid rules meant there was now scope for the BBC “to undertake more visits to households”, but claimed that the corporation’s approach would “strike the right balance between enforcement and encouragement”.
That encouragement includes a new “customer value management approach”, which will involve sending letters to non-paying households emphasising how much enjoyment they can derive from watching live television programmes on the BBC and other channels, and the shows they can watch on iPlayer.
If the licence fee remains unpaid, the individual faces prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000.
BBC to broadcast radio shows
Despite the increase in evasion and those no longer requiring a licence, the total licence fee income rose by £53 million to £3.8 billion in 2021-22 thanks in large part to an increase in the cost of a licence from £157.50 to £159.
The BBC is to begin broadcasting its radio phone-in shows on television, imitating commercial rivals such as LBC.
Nicky Campbell’s Radio 5 Live programme is the first to be piloted. It will be shown on weekday mornings on BBC Two, and streamed on the BBC News channel.
The corporation said other programmes will follow as it invests in “visualising” radio shows. That approach has proved a hit for LBC, the commercial station which has poached several big BBC names including Andrew Marr and Eddie Mair.
GB News also features televised phone-ins, while TalkTV broadcasts output from TalkRadio.ENDS
That’s all we need….more Nicky Campbell. I expect his wages will go up as well.
‘”As the world’s most trusted source of news, with a huge depth and breadth of expertise, the BBC is uniquely placed to offer audiences the best analysis and explanation as these stories are unfolding…..unfortunately we nearly always f**k it up as our staff our incredibly biased, partisan, bigoted, prejudiced, immoral, corrupt and intolerant and thus produce news and programming that is totally untrustworthy and more akin to Soviet era disinformation and propaganda than real news….but hey….we get paid whatever…so suck on this!”

‘Sources I’ve spoken to say that by creating one channel broadcast globally, the BBC is in fact giving up on UK rolling news at quality and depth. With plans for opt-out coverage when big UK stories break, that’s disputed by the BBC. ‘
Harra said
“.. drought on #Wye and #Usk. No rain since March 10 says @BBCFarmingToday”
– Of course his side took him at face value
– but 99% of skeptics did too and went of ranting about rainfall charts ..deep history etc.
No stop rushing in, like that
.. Harra made a claim that is “too wow to be true”
We know Harra is NOT about facts, he’s about NARRATAVE
If he sees something that supports his narrative, he will run with it,
he’s not going to spoil it by actually checking.
He know hi faithful will just take it t face value.
Yet o other person said “let me go to the BBC audio” and check it
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0019479
Minute 9:30s Simon Evans from the Wye and Usk Foundation
“we haven’t had rain since 10th of March .. the ecology is falling apart”
We know damn well the BBC cherrypick such lines, cos they are gold to narrative supporting
Note that is the ONLY line from Simon Evans selected by the BBC to be in that carefully constructed 4 minute BBC radio collage
Simon Evans later tweeted he mis-spoke
Actually if we Twitter search we get
Welsh rivers run low as lack of rain impacts country – https://newsatw.com/welsh-rivers-run-low-as-lack-of-rain-impacts-country/
July 13 Simon Evans, chief executive of the Wye and Usk Foundation,
said there had not been **sufficient** rain fall since 10 March, and the situation was “pretty grim”.
There we have it Evans dropped the word “sufficient”
so made fake news, which then Harra ran off with to initiate a new sermon pushing his religion
We could continue and take apart his next lines too.
“.. 1.2C of heating. ..2-3C warming. ..#Tory leadership race.”
Someone rushed in and posted an incomplete rainfall chart
So Harra replied at 8:42am Thursday
.. https://twitter.com/RHarrabin/status/1547486774242545665
“Precipitation is notoriously hard to predict.
But Farmers appear disinclined to gamble that climate change will improve matters.”
Then 9:27am he added
“I think the misleading is coming from those people who have been telling us for decades that Climate Change was not a problem.
I’m ending this conversation here because I’ve got work to do”
Seems he’s a Global Warming PR guy
.. not a truth seeking BBC journalist.
Easily verifiable facts are to Harrabin as cloves of garlic are to vampires – or something…
I’ll say again when someone states that there was no rain in the entire spring to mid summer season in one place in the UK, that i obviou fake news
The UK i a very rainy place
Yet the Farming today people DELIBERATELY chose that line to be in there collage report.
And Harra chose to amplify it
You Harra, and you BBC are #FakeNews
Fascinating isn’t it how the BBC deploys racism as it expresses shock about, erm, what it calls racism…ie lack of ‘diversity’ in the England women’s football team…..
‘In their wisdom, the Beeb then took time away from the analysis of the tournament that sports fans expect, to air a special investigation from its star presenter Alex Scott complete with downcast orchestral music.
But her first question to Debra Nelson from Football Beyond Borders set the tone for the report.
She asked: ‘For me to see you speaking out about this current England team saying how, as a young black woman, this team does not speak to you or inspire you is so alarming to me.”
Do they not see the problem there…..football players, because they are white, ‘do not speak’ to a black woman…does not inspire her.
Do they not see the innate racism of that statement?
And why does every team have to have a black or brown face to be kosha?
Can we just not enjoy the game without being lectured and hectored about non-exisitent problems?
The reason I dismiss these viture-signalling idiots who live in their bizarre make-believe metropolitan bubble is that they say nothing about the men’s football teams who are disproportionately black.
I can’t bear hypocrites. They are basically liars.
Could it be that the globalist filth who control The Conservative party, desperately want clown Rishi Sunak to be their puppet.
Problem: he might just get outvoted by the members..
Solution ? – offer up an attractive candidate on the surface, then ‘out’ them as woke, big government etc to deter the real Conservative voters.
Eg they’ll run similar to this piece on Mordaunt.
While leaving the even less traditional Conservative Sunak well alone.

“On economics and tax, she labels herself a ‘small state, low tax conservative’. Yet only a few paragraphs away on either side, she wants to ‘roll out further development corporations that will drive growth in local communities’ and ‘turbo-charge levelling-up projects’, the latter under the aegis of city mayors. In other words, more government-created town hall and quango bureaucracy in a replay of 1970s Heseltine-style state-sponsored corporatism – presumably to ‘pick winners’? And she’s a ‘small state conservative’?”
This whole leadership election just doesn’t feel right to me. Do the Tories really have such a dearth of talent these still in the running are the best options ?.
I suspect that even if we did have another Maggie or Winston in the pack, the Left would assasinate them before they ever got near the top job.
They hated Boris – but despite their best efforts, they could not overcome public opinion for Brexit. It’s taken this long for them to finally remove him. And they couldn’t manage it by fair means (by elections and confidence votes) so they went very dirty and what we witnessed was an absolute disgrace.
But how do they do it ?. Secret meetings over brandy in the club with promises of future rewards ?. Brown paper envelopes stuffed with cash ?.
Agree. I’m doubtful over Truss being any further right than the Tory centre , which means fairly left, particularly on cultural issues. Mordant and Sunak are both highly suspect on cultural issues . Tugs his hat is a Lib Dem plant.
Only Kemi is a true Conservative who seems to have reliable old fashioned British values! That being so the spineless Tory MPs won’t allow her name to go forward to the membership who would probably elect her given the chance. So much for their extreme racism!
In 21 st century Britain only a person of colour dares to tell the truth on a wide range of cultural issues. The white MPs darent say boo to a goose so intimidated are they by the SJWs and are so frightened that they won’t elect a black lady , not because she is black but because she dares to say what needs to be said.
It’s all very surprising but 21 st century Britain is full of surprises most of them very unpleasant.
Prince Andrew: BBC’s Newsnight interview to be turned into a film
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-62161864
Absolutely typical BBC lie by repetition.
A couple of sentences actually about the film then the rest of the article re-telling the original story to make it current again. Along with links to old articles about it.
Then – at the very end – we are told none of the stars claimed to be in have heard of it.
Quite disgusting BBC. I have to say that Andrew – unpleasant idiot that he is – has been skinned alive for having sex with an attractive, willing young woman and keeps getting regularly dipped in salt for it.
Another #metoo success story.
Hillary and Chelsea have a series starting on Apple TV in September, called ‘Gutsy.’

Not BBC but our old friends the TV advertisers. Seen this National Lottery advert?
“The wind’s got Mo’s Lottery ticket!”
Mo? He must be a Morris or a Morgan then, surely a Mohammed would view gambling as Satan’s handiwork?
Of course, the middle-aged white bloke gets to make a tit of himself, as usual. At least the music is good; it’s from The Goonies.
lol, nearly all the ‘main parts’ are BAME, women and disabled except for the object of ridicule who is a fat white male.
How very ‘inclusive’. And racist + sexist but nobody in the advertising business cares about that. I wonder if the ad agency knows gambling is strictly forbidden by the Koran. The forteenth greater sin.
I’m sure complaints will be made by very, very angry people.
When the Lottery started in the nineties some moslem won the Lottery. A good few seven or million million IIRC, which was a double rollover and he had to go into hiding because gambling is unIslamic, apparently and couldn’t spend the money.
The complex interplay of patriarchy, power, exploitation, opportunity and disregard for children edition
The latest celeb alleged sex abuser, another former Radio One DJ’s employer isn’t named in the frontpage teaser headline for this opinion piece in the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper this morning: Muted response to Tim Westwood allegations shows society still can’t empathise with black girls
That’s a stretch. Surely experience tells us the boot is on quite the other foot where the likes of national media, local social services and police are concerned?
A leaked report produced by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has upheld a complaint made by a father whose daughter had been missing for a week. He said a police officer told him that Rotherham “would erupt” if it came out that Asian men were habitually having sex with underage white girls. (A debut appearance hereabouts for The Conversation a network of not-for-profit media outlets publishing news stories and research reports online, with accompanying expert opinion)
Of course our left-leaning media will habitually clutch at any available straw in order to deny the inconvenient non-socially cohensive truth: A new Home Office report admits grooming gangs are not a ‘Muslim problem’ (Guardian December 2020)
Left-leaning academia provides the smoke screen of respectability for the mainstream media denial: The study finds no credible evidence for a far-right stereotype that has spread widely in the media, writes Dr Ella Cockbain (UCL Security & Crime Science) in a joint-authored article… A powerful modern racial myth has been exploded. What started as a far-right trope had migrated into the mainstream, meeting little resistance along the way. In 2011, the Times and its chief investigative reporter, Andrew Norfolk, claimed to have uncovered a new ethnic crime threat, shrouded until then in a supposed “conspiracy of silence”. The racial stereotype gained credence when the Quilliam Foundation, a controversial “counter-extremism” group, claimed that 84% of “grooming gang offenders” were Asian. (Guardian)
So…? What’s it all about, then? The common denominator is not immigration, race, culture or Islam. Child sexual abuse is the product of a complex interplay of patriarchy, power, exploitation, opportunity and disregard for children. (Guardian – where esle?)
Alice Cooper could be the name of a bog-standard white girl, but back in 1972 the rock band of that moniker celebrated with the youth: School’s Out For Summer
Schools set to close early in UK heatwave (‘i’); ‘Exceptional’ heat may shorten the school day (Telegraph)
Predictably, our public sector workers tend to buckle at the first hint of anything out of the ordinary: NHS braces for patient surge amid fears of 40C (Times); Red hot alert. A&E docs fear 40C surge. Europe blaze hell in 49C. NHS docs fear a surge in heat-related illnesses and deaths… Met Office warned of ‘danger to life’ weather (Mirror)
And what of our selfless caring professional medics? Surgeon ‘knifed rival’ (Times) – I’m betting he knew just where to strike with his scalpel: A surgeon tried to kill a fellow doctor by stabbing him after trying to set fire to his home to remove him as a witness in a disciplinary case, a crown court was told.
The formerly(?) coronaphobic ‘i’ paper ventures what it terms: Good news. Covid is not a forever plague – phew, thank heavens for that.
And what of the energy crisis? Burning issue. Oil falls below invasion level (FT) – so we can expect our energy bills to be reduced? Who am I kidding?
And finally…

Today watch
BBC going big on ambulance shortages . But surely there are too many ambulances ? If they spend all their time at hospitals waiting to off load tedious members of the public who have ‘medical emergencies ‘ why not cut down the number of ambulances so that the people can stay at home – like in the pandemic .
The NHS has to concentrate on the welfare of its ‘1.7 million staff – with diversity and HR managers leading with way on staff obesity treatment .
While I think of it – maybe there are too many hospitals too – we’d then be able to cut the numbers of ‘health professionals ‘ and focus taxpayers money on properly funding NHS managers who make the NHS the world beating service that has always been ….
Don’t forget to clap …
Hello Fedup2
“diversity” managers, that’ll go well then
Yes – there are not enough diversity managers – for example -,clearly the lady engerland footy team needs a few . I worry that diversity managers might go on strike one day – then where would we be ?. The BBC won’t go near this subject for fear of panicking the public …
Great fun – one of the blue labour PM candidates has transferred their ‘loyalty ‘ to lizzi trussi- and with the army chap the next to get the chop I reckon she ll get his votes too .
But wait – there is still penny mordant – but luckily her former boss – lord frost of brexit – helpfully described her as useless and lazy . Ordinarily this would be bad but in the case of a PM such characteristics can be an asset .
Mordant also doesn’t know what a man or woman is – this can also be useful to ensure a disfunctional woke regime like the one heading for the door …
I get the feeling the BBC favours both rishi and mordant so conservative voters will know who not to support … not that any of it really matters ..
As the country has no leader, I wonder who is steering us towards the eu at the moment, other than the negative reports over the years the bbc has put out
I’m very worried still about sandwiches running out, as “reported” a few years back
Andy – don’t worry – the civil service is still on the job ensuring we stay in the EU – apart from those civil servants working from home – on maternity / paternity / pet support leave – welfare leave – flexible working – working from home in another country – or it’s their turn to go sick or suspended on full pay or away on a course about absenteeism
My MP – IDS was interrupted by Simon jack ? One of the today lightweights bought in when big hitters like meeshal are away doing private stuff …
Any way – it was meant to be an interview – but it was an interruption . Every time IDS tried to use words in sentences in response to a Simon jack speech – jack interrupted – ignored – talked over – cut him off .
If you ran a clock on who spoke longest I bet I know the answer . Is Mr Jack just an enthusiast ? Or is it too much caffeine – or similar substance to fire this dip sh-t up ?
By the way – IDS was trying to explain why he is supporting Liz Truss – there’s almost the smell of conservatism in the air … .. old stuff about people being ‘allowed ‘ to have more of their own money rather than the State taking it to pay the interest on the sunak borrowing ..
I’m still waiting for all these Leftists to explain to me what these boat people are actually claiming Asylum from. France ?.
It seems to be a subject nobody wants to go near. They were perfectly safe before they even got in the boat.

Slick letting Di write the tweets is not the smartest.
Today again
Seems like winter has already started for the world beating NHS . Allegations that nurses keep ambulances at hospitals waiting for punters to be off loaded / die so that they can’t bring more punters into their world beating hospital .
Has an increasing – out of control – population got anything to do with this ? No of course not – keep the borders uncontrolled – bring them all in – give them each a human rights £ lawyer £ and mo ‘s your uncle …
Declaration – I’ve done the 6 hours in an ambulance hospital car park gig – before graduating to the hospital corridor – it’s a good nhs wheeze because it doesn’t affect the performance measures which keep the medical mafia getting their ‘performance bonuses ‘.
Hospital performance measures are things which are kept secret from the punters . It explains why medics behave the way they do – and since their motivation is mainly about money – getting that performance measure gets them more of it – money that is .
For instance – it’s much better for a punter to die before their get into the hospital because it makes the hospital look bad in the ‘morbidity tables ‘ if they – you – die inside the hospital . …
I’m only writing as a taxpayer but I’m sure some medic will rubbish me later …
Fedup2
– I have seen the miserable spectacle of a failing A&E sending a patient (who arrived via ambulance with accurate notes) 15 miles to another hospital (to die) after literally ignoring his treatable condition for 9 hours.
That’s not uniformed opinion consequent from mourning trauma – it’s what the investigation found.
Tomo – it’s one of the reasons I find affection for doctors and nurses – sickening – and they way they exploit the pedestal upon which they stand even more so …
In that particular case I feel the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of “managers” who employed a shift supervisor doctor with only vestigial awareness of emergency medicine and organisational “skills” that destroyed any attempts at triage – in a bluidy A&E fer chrissakes!
It was a very sorry episode – made a lot worse d/t 18 months of aggressive cover-up which had to be disentangled.
Not difficult to imagine that the UK government is doing much the same as the US democrat loons…

“When Sunak was the finance minister in July 2021, he used his annual Mansion House speech to insist that Britain should beef up its trading relationship with China”
“Apart from Sunak, almost all of the other candidates hold a very tough stance on China”

Remember the May/Leadsom final 3 years ago where I would think most of us wanted Leadsom to win but she dropped out (I’m still unsure why) giving the PM job to May.
As it’s becoming clearer that the Tory MPs are out of touch with their members who seemingly want any of the wimmin and not Rishi, I wonder if there will be another mysterious drop out leaving the way clear for Rishi.
Maybe they have dirt on the wimmin and are waiting to find out who it is they have to attack.
It’s becoming clearer to me that Liz Truss is the one they don’t want so she’s the one for me and if Kemi backs her all the better.
The msm are already criticising her which is a good sign.
And Fed, I reckon if the nhs diversity managers went on strike the productivity of the nhs would go up/improve.
As I recall it Leadsom had given an interview to a journalist where she was led onto the subject of babies and said something along the lines that she was getting at her rival Teresa May for being childless.
This looked very bad and Leadsom realized it and was shattered.
She wasn’t meaning to do that but it was a stupid thing to talk about and careleslly hand the journalist a “gothca”.
The Alex Belfield trial reports on his youtube channel are v. interesting.
During cross-examination Jeremy Vine seemed to concede that he did use £1k of BBC/licence payers’ money for either a memorial piss-up or a memorial donation to charity.

The videos are long and essentially a wholly verbatim reflection of the day’s conversation but are quite fascinating in places.

– what’s not on the BBC web shite is any mention of Kemi Badenoch – the wrong sort of black person.
The closure of the UK’s largest gas storage plant has prompted warnings that the country faces more volatile winter gas prices and is becoming too dependent on energy imports.
British Gas’s owner, Centrica, said it was permanently closing the Rough facility off the Yorkshire coast because it had become unsafe and uneconomic to reopen the facility, which had been temporarily shut over safety fears.
The loss comes on top of the diplomatic crisis in Qatar, which supplies a third of UK gas imports and has highlighted the UK’s increasing reliance on hydrocarbon imports.

‘As an ex-SAS man who is now a barrister, I’m certain Panorama’s claim that my old regiment executed Taliban is an obscene smear, writes Special Forces veteran HARRY MCCALLION’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11015513/HARRY-MCCALLION-Im-certain-Panoramas-claim-old-SAS-regiment-executed-Taliban-smear.html
The BBC’s Panorama programme about supposed SAS ‘death squads’, as the BBC perjoratively labels them, was a highly toxic smear judging by the lack of evidence and hard facts….all the ‘proof’ was supposition, vague implications, conjecture and mostly ‘somebody said…and somebody else repeated it’…until legend became ‘fact’…at least in the BBC’s eyes.
You can see how the legends begin…someone gripes about Taliban always being released after capture, as they were, and saying ‘we should just shoot ’em’….but it’s not a serious comment…no-one will do it. However someone retells the story…oh yeah…they reckon we should shoot ’em….and this goes up the chain till it becomes ‘They’re shooting prisoners’.
Yet another high profile BBC special investigation that is probably fake news…fake news that has gone around the world and is undoubtedly already on Islamist websites being used to whip up the faithful against us all in the West.
Did like the BBC’s insistence that despite being deep in Taliban country and with a Taliban minder, they were absolutely free to choose who they spoke to and ask what they wanted….so completely honest and free answers.
OK…but the person you speak to is probably Taliban anyway and even if not he may well being telling you what he’s been told to tell you by the Taliban….and of course if they can fabricate the evidence they get a big payday from the MOD.
I was cynical about the initial reports / Panorama and even more cynical when I drilled down just a little bit further.
War is a v.messy business – but there is something really stinky about the way the BBC team have gone about this.
Innuendo and hearsay aren’t evidence and one really has to look very closely indeed at the peeps that have constructed this tale and their background and motivation – in addition to the splash treatment given to the accusations.
It was a journalistic travesty, from start to Boris trying to make nice.
