    Wow – a columnist in `the guardian ‘ describes the false president they have been worshipping for 2 years as ‘tottering ‘ and questions the ‘fist pump ‘ with some Saudi peasant murderer ….
    Criticism of Biden … how about that – ?

    ( and do you think they allowed comments ? – never concerning Biden )

    Anyone seen the Black Broadcasting Corporation’s coverage of the World Athletics?

    New presenter ( black)
    Denise Lewis
    Jessica Ennis-Hill
    Colin Jackson
    And from the USA, Michael Johnson.

    All fine athletes.
    But not a single white person in the entire set up.

    Absolutely astonishing.
    But for the BBC, a result!

    I think it’s £55,011.

    If you’re a Tube Driver in London and you want a mortgage 3 times your wages £165,033 you should be able to get yourself a nice semi-detached garage, in a crap area.
    They’re fighting for their wages not yours.

      Biden’s son (Hunter Biden) sat on a number of Ukraine companies brokering dodgy deals with the US as a sort of “ambassador”. He also has a hard drug habit and is linked to prostitution accusations Biden is trying to play down. Exclusive scoop in The Sun although nothing on the BBC as yet, I suspect. Biden’s family connections could be why Russia decided to invade. Sniff the corruption.

        All over the place the world just went mad. As the standard of living increased hugely for billions around the world western countries went mad within themselves …

        … fighting non existent green threats – allowing emerging malevolent countries – China – Russia – to dominate and control …
        … and having a whole range of loony woke national leaders ….

      Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,

      You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.

      Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

    Edinburgh fringe unaffordable for many young performers, says famous thespian Brian Cox in the Guardian, bleating about how hard it is for these young hopefulls to break into the rich pastureland of showbiz wealth and fame

    https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/jul/16/edinburgh-fringe-unaffordable-for-many-young-performers-says-brian-cox

    Mr Cox is apparently a successful actor often busy on the Shakespeare theatre scene.

    Sources also say he could have a personal wealth amounting to the thick end of ten million quid.

    So in fact a typical very wealthy lefty who has made the most of the opportunities given to him mainly by conservative city types who frequent such happy-sloppy gatherings as this where they can rub shoulders with soulmates and watch and listen to character after character on stage spitting humourless bile at anything remotely Conservative for some odd reason.

    Then when you get to the last para you realise what this none story is really all about and why The Guardian gave it such prominence…

    Mr Cox ends by saying….

    “Now that we’re getting rid of the liar, and the Tory party has become more and more ridiculous. Conservatism has gone in a way like the Republican party has gone in this country.” (Yes folks he lives in the USA!).

    These people ae totally besotted to an almost lunatic degree with what they see as a culture war for the left against an evil right.

    Pitiful!

      Tickets for Glastonbury 2022 will cost £280 + £5 booking fee. Every effort was made to keep this increase on the 2020 ticket price of £265 as low as possible, despite inflation and the impact of two forced cancellations.

      Both UK and International ticket balances will be payable in the first week of March 2022, when you will also be able to add car park tickets and cancellation protection to your booking (see CANCELLATIONS & LOST TICKETS for more information).

      It was possible to use the online form to request a full deposit refund (with no administration charges) up to 31st December 2021. Tickets which are cancelled after 31st December 2021, or for which the balance has not been paid by 7th March 2022, will be charged an administration fee of £25 per ticket and refunded £25 per ticket.

    Left v right…

    In the USA the left are trying to take apart a country that was created in the heat of battle to free its citizens by enslaving them all over again.

    In Australia the left are trying to destroy the proud independent spirit of one of the youngest large countries on the planet to try to turn it’s citizens into bland yes men.

    In the UK the left are trying to piss on centuries of historic achievements to reduce the population to bland nonentities with no allegiance.

    In the Ukraine, Putin has had enough of this globalist rubbish and taken a stand. He may it may not succeed but one day we all may have him to thank for saving the western world from becoming hell like it or not. Meanwhile Zelensky is content to risk a nuclear armegeddon of the West to save his personal status. I don’t for one minute think Putin wants to crush Ukrainians, he is effectively putting a wall up against the cancer of globalist domination.

            No, he’s not left-wing maxi.

            He’s what an extremely intelligent Leftist BECOMES if they get enough power that they can drop the hypocrisy and follow their dominant characteristic : shallow, selfish greed. This then gives rise all the other characteristics we see such as intolerance and spite which go with such personalities.

            Just like Hitler.

            I always find it amusing to read Leftist academics frantically trying to prove Hitler was right-wing after all. He wasn’t : he’s what a Leftist with absolute power looks like and all the pretence is dropped.

            We can see how nasty they really are when we look at Joe Biden when his mask slips. Lots of hate in that one. I shudder to think what he would do to his opponents if he could.

            maxi is no different. He is driven by hate. And paid by the BBC.

    BBC apologises after interviewing transgender athlete who boasted of violence against women

    The BBC has apologised for interviewing a transgender athlete who boasted about knocking women out, in a discussion about female-only sports.

    But the BBC came under fire for failing to inform listeners that Ms Fox, 46, had boasted of violence against Terfs – a slur which stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist – in a trans row on Twitter in 2020.

    She had tweeted: “For the record, I knocked two out. One woman’s skull was fractured, the other not. And just so you know, I enjoyed it. See, I love smacking up TEFS (sic) in the cage who talk transphobic nonsense. It’s bliss!”

    This week the corporation climbed down, with the BBC Complaints Unit saying it was “unaware of previous comments made by Fallon Fox” and if it was, “we would have conducted the interview differently”.

    Dr Nicola Williams, director of Fair Play For Women, told The Telegraph: “If you knew that Fallon Fox was a trans fighter, you’d also know what Fallon Fox had said.

    “It’s either that the woke producers didn’t do the basics with research, or they didn’t care. This apology means nothing unless they also issue an on-air clarification – they must do due diligence on this topic by bringing on true experts, not just trans people for the sake of it.”

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/16/bbc-apologises-interviewing-transgender-athlete-who-boasted/

    Earlier this month BBC radio staff had been told there were more than 150 genders and to develop their “trans brand” by adding pronouns to email signatures, in diversity training leaked by a whistleblower.

    Sharron Davies, the Olympic swimming medalist, told the Telegraph: “I am incredibly frustrated by science deniers who abuse on social media being given air time. The BBC must do better.”

    150 genders! Another day of ‘ordinary’ transgender folk as seen by the (rather queer) BBC as ‘victims’ as pro-sexual ‘athletes’. Only the BBC can spot them in the mist. None as blind as those that cannot see that its all nonsense.

      Thanks to John Derbyshire via VDare I came across the video below of another favorite pundit of mine, Mark Steyn. In the video Steyn notes the childlessness of most of the leaders of the EU’s founding member states, and thus their utter fecklessness towards the demographic tsunami facing Europe from Africa.

      https://researchteacher.com/demographics-is-destiny-africa-vs-europe/

      The key graph that Steyn highlights was created by Steve Sailer showing the population growth of Africa versus Europe from 1950 to the projected growth in Africa and stagnation in Europe through the end of the 21st century.

        Where do you get the quote from :

        Because it’s true .
        Calling people racist is a cost free enterprise due to the likes of the BBC .
        Unlike most accusations, where you have to prove your accusation, it now seems incumbent that the accused if it’s to do with race has to prove his innocence, rather than the accuser prove guilt .
        Is that what you and the BBC want ?

        [ if no reply to the question then we can take Maxi’s positions on denunciation equals guilt and thus I denounce Maxi as a racist because he is patronising towards other races ]

          The attacks on Asians are an absolute classic. They are primarily done by racist blacks. How many times have you ever seen it described as such ?.

                The only time I’m aware of it being used is indirectly, someone used it in a rather unfunny joke ,
                and hardly anyone noticed.
                He didn’t even use it directly but used rhyming slang instead

                  Here’s the original quote used… ‘they see political advantage for their side in repeatedly highlighting racist behaviour, real or imagined.

                  Do you think comparing black people to monkeys is real or imagined ‘racist behaviour’?

                    Marcus Rashford mural defaced after England Euro 2020 defeat
                    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-57803161

                    ‘The artwork in Withington, Manchester, was defaced shortly after England lost in a penalty shootout on Sunday.

                    Rashford, along with Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, missed a penalty and was targeted with racist abuse on social media after the game.’

                    So they don’t mention the mural graffiti was NOT racist but mention ‘racist abuse’ in the very next sentence. And in the article they link to, it clearly infers the racism was from white English people. When it wasn’t : it was from Muslim countries.

                    Do you think that is real or imagined ‘race baiting’ by the BBC maxi ?.

                    Try answering a few questions some time instead of just spiteful sniping. All you do is confirm what we already think about you and your Leftist chums.

        Plenty of jokes about white people as well maxi.

        It’s called a JOKE. But with your child-like spite and no sense of humour whatsoever being a typical Leftist character trait, you have no idea what that means.

        Is that why you are a low-life forum troll ?. Does nobody want to be anywhere near you in real life because you are a boring, nasty scumbag ?. I’ve met plenty like you. Nobody likes them and they don’t care. Worthless people full of hate.

        ‘Racist’ is now a meaningless label people like you have rubbished by throwing it around like a child having a tantrum. This article shows just what a joke you have made it:

        Racism definition: Merriam-Webster to make update after request
        https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52993306

        ‘Ms Mitchum had encountered people pointing to the dictionary to prove that they were not racist because of the way they felt towards people of colour. ‘

        So they changed it to include all white people regardless.

        The racism you SHOULD be concerned about maxi is the one which is real : ‘Racial discrimination’

        ‘Racial discrimination is any discrimination against any individual on the basis of their skin color, or racial or ethnic origin.’

        Something you and the BBC are guilty of in buckets. Every time you hide the identity of a rapist or murderer because he’s not white. Every time you drop a story when you discover the bad-guy isn’t white. Every time you choose to pick library pictures of black people from Getty more than 3% of the time. I could go on and on.

        Know yourself before slinging your mud.

    The BBC engaged in a smear campaign against Prince Andrew in order to publicise a book and a film.

    ‘A photographer working for the BBC during Prince Andrew’s car-crash Newsnight interview claims to have taken a shocking picture of the Royal that would shake the monarchy if it ever became public.

    Mark Harrison declined to reveal what he captured, but said it would ’embarrass Prince Andrew and the Royal Family’ if it were released.’

    A source close to the Newsnight interview who has seen the original photograph said that if it became public ‘it will be so shocking, especially if it is decontextualised.

    ‘Our jaws dropped to the floor when we saw it. It would cause Andrew much embarrassment – and imagine how high the bar has to be to cause him embarrassment after everything that has happened.”

    Is the picture real? If they don’t publish it Prince Andrew has been forever damned by a BBC smear that is suggestive of so many things and he has no defence against this whispering campaign against him by the BBC Newsnight team.

    So either publish it or shut up…but then this is just a cheap BBC stunt to create ‘interest’ in their book and film about Andrew.

    Not the action of a supposedly respected national broadcaster which claims for itself the position of being the standard bearer, the gold standard, for truth, decency, honesty.

    It feels like a revert to form Sunday as the Observer takes the opportunity to make the agenda abundantly clear: As Europe burns, climate chief warns: I may quit if new PM dumps net zero plan

    The formerly patriotic Times enjoys embarrassing the Royals: How Meghan lost faith in the firm. Exclusive book extract

    However, Her Majesty’s loyal Sunday Express puts the opposite case: Meghan ‘refused to ring her father to heal rift’ Queen was ‘exasperated’ – well, they can’t answer back, you know.

    And the Mirror is still banging on and on about about party boy Boris: Johnson parties as UK melts. Boris’ heat rave. PM misses second COBRA crisis meeting but will party today.

    So, here you are, you’re working out your notice at the office where everyone hates you and wants your job and then yet another pointless damn fool meeting is called with the theme “hot weather this week, what can we do to make a crisis out of it?” – do you: a) attend looking serious and take copious notes; or do you b) have a photo op in the cockpit of a warplane – looking like a rather portly Tom Cruise?

    Top Gun Boris has Rishi in his sights. Still at the controls. The PM in a Typhoon fighter jet on a visit to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire yesterday. (Mail on Sunday); Still a Top Gun. Boris’s popularity flies high in polls. Maverick MP (Sunday Express) – the latter national title is of course the most loyal Boris supporting organ and also the most Brexity of our national papers – hardly a coincidence there. The Labour-supporting, working class-abandoning Mirror, apeing its middle class left-leaning betters in antipathy for both Boris and Brexit. Talk about kick a man when he’s down. I’m further intrigued by the dichotomy in house-style use of the possessive apostrophe betwixt Mirror and Express where a proper name ends with an s.

    Althought the mildly dyslexic Mr AsIseeIt oughtn’t to throw too many stones within the glass house that is spelling and precise punctuation. Look, I’m in a hurry here. I digress.

    One policy fits all eventualities these days – public health, transport strikes, the weather: Consider working from home in heatwave, says minister (Telegraph) – it’s certainly a popular measure with our civil servants.

    One suspected early on that Boris may have his supposed hero Winston in mind as come-back-from-the-wilderness in time of national emergency exemplar. And there’s looming crises a plenty that may blow up like defeat in the Battle of Norway did for Neville Chamberlain. No, not the weather. Think the economy, financial system, supply chain, national strike, wide-scale and persistent looting and rioting, hyper immigration, Kaliningrad…

    Boris, eh? He’s certainly a Maverick. We wonder what other Top Gun character nickname he might be asking Carrie to paint on his helmet? Ice Man, Goose, Slider, Jester…?

    Brexit pledge if favourite wins PM race. Rishi: I’ll scrap EU red tape in first 100 days (Express) – Really…? Perhaps he can throw all that red tape on David Cameron’s nonexistent ‘Bonfire of the quangos’ ?

    DJ scandal puts BBC under pressure (Sunday Times) – listen, if the Beeb can survive Savile they can withstand anything. Our State broadcaster is the metaphorical cockroach. Can’t you just imagine post-armageddon, Boris is reinstated as PM, the mutent zoombie-like desperate wandering hoards are on the loose and the BBC reporter… she’s counting how diverse they happen to look? Or perhaps she’s keeping quiet about how diverse they look? Whatever!

    Front page news on the BBC:

    British man, 40, found dead in Florence hotel with injured woman
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62195043

    A Brit in a foreign country is dead. No details of if it was murder, an accident or whatever. A matter for Italian police.

    Buried in regions so you won’t see it unless you deliberately go looking for it:

    Man fatally stabbed in neck while sitting in car in south-east London
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-62190514

    Seems to me the second story is much closer to home and much more ‘brutal’ than the first. But didn’t even make a small sub-pane on the main news page. Less important than ‘Bear photography takes great-grandmother round the world’ according to the BBC.

    No details of anyone given. Police want to know if people have anything on CCTV – so some kind of description of the victim might have been useful.

    Most likely another example of BBC racist discrimination for you maxi.

      – but all too easy to imagine that his health and safety experts would close the road for him to do his duty – because – you know – it’d be too dangerous?

    Message to our Tory Chancellor and maxincony.
    Scraping the TV licence fee and the outfit that uses its ill-gotten gains will help the poor of this nation.
    It robs from the poor to give to the rich.

    The BBC’s favourite US President, misreads his notes in Israel and speaks of the ‘honour of the holocaust’.

    The UK Health Security Agency (NHS Upper Management Grade 2 pay-scales) has just raised the Heat Warning level to amber for much of the UK mainland. I thought they’d already put it on red, but let that pass.

    More to the point, could someone with experience of living elsewhere in the world – like Dubai or Calcutta or Sydney – point out that inhabitants of these cities and elsewhere live in near permanent red-level temperatures for weeks or even months at a time without needing hospitalisation, let alone the services of an undertaker.

    On the plus side when, as is almost inevitable, their forecasts are proved to be wildly inaccurate – today is significantly cooler and breezier than yesterday in the south – another nail will hammer home in the ‘climate change’ religion (shortly to be re-named The Weather Or Not)

    I Thought – I’ve been out of touch for a while – i will get the 1pm News on R4 . Instead I got wee jimmy naughtie trying not to sound too anti English or too pro one of his homes – Scotland .

    It went on and on – gripes about the poor 7 million north of the enemy – England – or Westminster as they call England . I think a lot of those Scot’s hate England so much they can’t say the word

    And no one talks about the consequences of Scotland becoming a truly foreign country – they just go on and on about independence .

    If Scotland wants to be truly a new separate nation – without any financial help from the English – and a big majority want it – go really soon .
    I’d be happy to contribute to the 50% funding of a solid border … and total independence …

    The BBC is as fixated with this as they are with queers and coloured and Muslims … right troll?

    I switched off after 29 long minutes – maybe the Scot’s can take the naughtie ego back home too?

    Meanwhile – woke snowflake Penelope mordent moaning about dirty tricks . Well if she wants that top job she’d better look at what her kind did to nut nut …
    Give her any easy cabinet job – the duchy of somewhere or non job ‘cabinet office ‘… not a PM …

    The next Tory leader will have to be supported by the BBC. Here is Penny Mordrant’s pitch for support.
