“A lengthy time behind bars”, two murders, erm, shouldnt that be two life sentences?
There’s an item slightly further back about private healthcare.
From bitter experience, the one thing that you can do in these times, is to invest in private healthcare.
I had a serious situation in late 2020 at the height of the ‘pandemic’ and the NHS treatment of it was woeful. Telephone appointments, unable to call back, no physical examinations, etc, etc adds a massive layer of stress at a stressful period normally.
As this had a good outcome as of a couple of days ago as I emerged out of all this, I couldn’t help but notice that £278 per month on my payslip for NI gives a fraction of the service and quality I had privately for £48 per month through Aviva. The only Corona bollocks I had was masks in the consultations/examinations, and PCR testing prior to both surgeries. Oh, and no visitors.
Unfortunately if I had had to rely on the NHS, I would either be still waiting on some list or six feet under. The amount of people in this country who don’t have private healthcare, or believe the Labour/SNP/Lib/BBC line about private healthcare as evil, and are waiting on life changing/saving procedures, makes me incredibly sad.
‘To this day, precious few anti-Trumpers have been honest with themselves about the elaborate hoax — there’s just no other word for it — that was the Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it.’
A lefty New York Times columnist admits he was wrong….
‘I Was Wrong About Trump Voters’
‘The worst line I ever wrote as a pundit — yes, I know, it’s a crowded field — was the first line I ever wrote about the man who would become the 45th president: “If by now you don’t find Donald Trump appalling, you’re appalling.”
The broad swipe at his voters caricatured them and blinkered me.
It also probably did more to help than hinder Trump’s candidacy. Telling voters they are moral ignoramuses is a bad way of getting them to change their minds.’
I wonder if Justin Webb & Co are penning similar missives and mea culpas?
Of course that last line shouldn’t apply to an impartial, unbiased national broadcaster…
‘Telling voters they are moral ignoramuses is a bad way of getting them to change their minds.’
That’s OK for the NYT but the BBC trying to change people’s minds? That’s definitely not OK….they are there to provide accurate and truthful information to allow voters to make their own minds up…not to have their minds made up for them…and if they choose the ‘wrong’ option not to be denigrated, mocked and abused by the BBC….and that is what the BBC did.
The BBC ran, is still running, a prolonged anti-Trump campaign that denounced anyone who was connected to Trump or voted for him as ‘deplorable’ if not racist, Islamophobic, white supremacist and Far-Right….you just have to look at how the BBC’s Sopel smeared teenage Trump supporters and even when he was eventually forced to grudgingly admit he may have got it wrong he still smeared the young men….
‘The Covington boys, who went from an ugly MAGA hat-wearing mob to pious Catholic students in a heartbeat, got a mauling too – perhaps justifiably.’
‘Perhaps justifiably’? In what way was the massive hysterical attacks on these boys ‘perhaps justified’? They did absolutely nothing wrong…and it was proven that they didn’t.
Sopel insinuates, no, states, Nick Sandman is still guilty and tries to discredit him with this….
‘And the teenager, Nick Sandman, who’d been in the face of a tribal elder, took on a PR firm to act for him. ‘
Oh My God…Sandman, a schoolboy, employed a PR team…to counter the 90% of the MSM that was, and obviously still is, see above, libelling him.
And then…
‘The elderly Native American had his life turned over.’
Going for the sympathy vote…never mind it was the lying elderly Native American who confronted the boy and started banging a drum right in his face….but Sopel claims the boy had ‘been in the face of a tribal elder.’ No, no he hadn’t….he was there minding his own business when the ‘elderly tribal American’ got in his face.
Will the BBC ever admit it was wrong? If it had to pay damages as it has for the Bashir/Panorama corruption for every such ‘misjudgement’ they’d be bankrupt in no time.
The whole NYT article….
‘The worst line I ever wrote as a pundit — yes, I know, it’s a crowded field — was the first line I ever wrote about the man who would become the 45th president: “If by now you don’t find Donald Trump appalling, you’re appalling.”
This opening salvo, from August 2015, was the first in what would become dozens of columns denouncing Trump as a unique threat to American life, democratic ideals and the world itself. I regret almost nothing of what I said about the man and his close minions. But the broad swipe at his voters caricatured them and blinkered me.
It also probably did more to help than hinder Trump’s candidacy. Telling voters they are moral ignoramuses is a bad way of getting them to change their minds.
What were they seeing that I wasn’t?
That ought to have been the first question to ask myself. When I looked at Trump, I saw a bigoted blowhard making one ignorant argument after another. What Trump’s supporters saw was a candidate whose entire being was a proudly raised middle finger at a self-satisfied elite that had produced a failing status quo.
I was blind to this. Though I had spent the years of Barack Obama’s presidency denouncing his policies, my objections were more abstract than personal. I belonged to a social class that my friend Peggy Noonan called “the protected.” My family lived in a safe and pleasant neighborhood. Our kids went to an excellent public school. I was well paid, fully insured, insulated against life’s harsh edges.
Trump’s appeal, according to Noonan, was largely to people she called “the unprotected.” Their neighborhoods weren’t so safe and pleasant. Their schools weren’t so excellent. Their livelihoods weren’t so secure. Their experience of America was often one of cultural and economic decline, sometimes felt in the most personal of ways.
It was an experience compounded by the insult of being treated as losers and racists —clinging, in Obama’s notorious 2008 phrase, to “guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.”
No wonder they were angry.
Anger can take dumb or dangerous turns, and with Trump they often took both. But that didn’t mean the anger was unfounded or illegitimate, or that it was aimed at the wrong target.
Trump voters had a powerful case to make that they had been thrice betrayed by the nation’s elites. First, after 9/11, when they had borne much of the brunt of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to see Washington fumble and then abandon the efforts. Second, after the financial crisis of 2008, when so many were being laid off, even as the financial class was being bailed out. Third, in the post-crisis recovery, in which years of ultralow interest rates were a bonanza for those with investable assets and brutal for those without.
Oh, and then came the great American cultural revolution of the 2010s, in which traditional practices and beliefs — regarding same-sex marriage, sex-segregated bathrooms, personal pronouns, meritocratic ideals, race-blind rules, reverence for patriotic symbols, the rules of romance, the presumption of innocence and the distinction between equality of opportunity and outcome — became, more and more, not just passé, but taboo.
It’s one thing for social mores to evolve over time, aided by respect for differences of opinion. It’s another for them to be abruptly imposed by one side on another, with little democratic input but a great deal of moral bullying.
This was the climate in which Trump’s campaign flourished. I could have thought a little harder about the fact that, in my dripping condescension toward his supporters, I was also confirming their suspicions about people like me — people who talked a good game about the virtues of empathy but practice it only selectively; people unscathed by the country’s problems yet unembarrassed to propound solutions.
I also could have given Trump voters more credit for nuance.
For every in-your-face MAGA warrior there were plenty of ambivalent Trump supporters, doubtful of his ability and dismayed by his manner, who were willing to take their chances on him because he had the nerve to defy deeply flawed conventional pieties.
Nor were they impressed by Trump critics who had their own penchant for hypocrisy and outright slander. To this day, precious few anti-Trumpers have been honest with themselves about the elaborate hoax — there’s just no other word for it — that was the Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it.
A final question for myself: Would I be wrong to lambaste Trump’s current supporters, the ones who want him back in the White House despite his refusal to accept his electoral defeat and the historic outrage of Jan. 6?
Morally speaking, no. It’s one thing to take a gamble on a candidate who promises a break with business as usual. It’s another to do that with an ex-president with a record of trying to break the Republic itself.
But I would also approach these voters in a much different spirit than I did the last time. “A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall,” noted Abraham Lincoln early in his political career. “If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.” Words to live by, particularly for those of us in the business of persuasion.’

5 hour queues at Dover Port to cross the Channel, endless queues and cancellations at airports – how the hell do we leave the country ???? A bloody sight easier getting into the country in a li-lo from France. Laughable.
Glad I’m off on a cruise from Southampton in November – seems to be the only way without any hassle (unless some prats decide to block the M3) !
The French border guards have obviously been re deployed to the French coast to stop the third world invading England every day …
Breed sharks …
The BBC ran, is still running, a prolonged anti-Trump campaign ….Justin Webb this morning declaring that Trump launched the Jan 6 attacks in order to ‘steal an election using violence….an attack on Democracy itself.’
When challenged on this he stated that the BLM/Antifa nationwide riots were merely local affairs whilst Jan 6 was an attempt to overturn the Constitution.
Hmmm….BLM/Antifa/Democrats/MSM trying to destroy the US constitution, to destroy US history, to destroy ‘whiteness’….or a bunch of protestors who were almost ushered into the Capitol building by ‘security’ and who made no attempt at all to ‘overturn the Constitution’ or ‘steal the election’…..it was a noisy protest that somehow ended where it did…quite unintentionally.
Who bangs the drum to overturn the Constitution? The NYT has endless articles willing it to happen…
‘ if the Constitution can’t be changed to adapt to modern needs and the Supreme Court becomes both too powerful and too politicized, the political system starts breaking down.’
The Constitution is so flawed it must be changed…to suit…
‘if the story of the Articles of Confederation tells us anything, it is that these flaws (assuming one views them as flaws) are not in themselves enough to prompt change. What will bring change — or at least the possibility of change — is when those flaws render the country too sclerotic and dysfunctional to tackle its most existential challenges.’
Of course the Times runs the 1619 Project which has the aim of changing American history to suit the Left’s worldview regardless of fact.
Webb wheeled in a Democrat Congressman who got away with murder as he claimed ‘We accepted the 2016 election result and moved on.’
No, no, no…in no way whatsoever did the Democrats ‘move on’ They spent the next four years trying to unseat Trump using every possible means, usually more foul than fair….even the NYT now admits the Trump dossier was a complete fraud and a hoax…
‘To this day, precious few anti-Trumpers have been honest with themselves about the elaborate hoax — there’s just no other word for it — that was the Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it.’
Clinton never accepted she lost and continues to this day to claim the election was stolen from her.
How is it the BBC somehow doesn’t mention this…how did Webb not challenge that statement?
The Democrat congressman went on that their mission was to ‘unite and heal America…the greatest threat to America wasn’t Russia, China or Iran it was Americans fighting amongst themselves.’
Hmmm….this from a party that has absolutely polarised America politically and racially…divided, torn apart and destroyed America and its unity…even down to its very existence as a nation….its identity, its history and yes, its Constitution.
But Webb said nothing.
Why?

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

Mr Drakeford said: “If you wish to take advantage of that money, if you want to have help from the Welsh taxpayer, then you will have to find a way of bringing yourself within the scheme that allows me, as the first minister, to justify to Bangladeshi taxi drivers in Riverside, where I live, why they should pay their taxes in order to support farmers in Wales.”

Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

Fascinating how the BBC remains silent….the ‘racist’ Royal who made shockingly racist comments about Royal offspring has been unmasked…possibly.
‘Palace insiders blast ‘NONSENSE’ claims that Camilla joked how Harry and Meghan’s unborn baby would have a ‘ginger Afro’ – as Duchess of Cornwall is dragged in royal race row by bombshell biography’
The Mail gets it out there….but the BBC stays schtuum. Bit of a quandary perhaps….the book the allegation comes from absolutely lays into Meghan Markle…..so if the BBC reports this it may have to report the rest…so best keep quiet despite having made the racist Royal claims headline news when Markle and Harry did their infamous Oprah interview.
On the other hand it was happy to broadcast claims that could not be verified and didn’t identify anyone in particular but just smeared the whole Royal family but now when faced with a very sensitive claim that needs to be rigorously investigated and legally sound before denouncing someone as a racist they remain quiet…can’t have another ‘Bashir’ can we?
And interesting how Markle framed the original smear as….
‘ concern within the royal family about her baby’s skin tone’
‘Concern’ is a very prejudicial term….was it ‘concern’ about the child’s skin colour or was it mere joking and the usual curiosity in any family about who the baby will look like most? Suggesting, should the claim be true, that the kid might have a ‘ginger afro’ isn’t at all racist…it’s a joke based upon a very real possibility….and it’s not ‘a concern.’

The NHS is being taken to court over its contract with controversial US data firm Palantir.
Open Democracy said it had launched the legal action over Palantir’s long-term involvement in the analysis of vast amounts of public health data.
It also alleges that Palantir lobbied a top NHS official over expensive watermelon cocktails.

No mention of the fact the firm itself is owned by oligarch Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest person.

Guess things like that are only relevant to the BBC when Russian owned football clubs are concerned.
“Oh Boo hoo the plebs get their news from Facebook.
How thick are they ?”
Yes , cos the wisdom of the crowds does seem better than media chumps these days.
On Tuesday someone in the shop told me, that they had seen a fire on the way home.
So I looked it up on Facebook and found 5 local fire events
For that first one where an abandoned factory recreation ground had caught fire, a farmer had gone in with the plough circled the fire and cut it all off… top man
– For the fire the other end of town where a field fire had spread to a closed down council daycare centre I spotted a drone operator had put up photos
So I put in a link on the Facebook page.
We don’t have proper local papers any more, instead we have a weekly newspaper put together by cutNpasters pasting together 100 other local papers 100 miles from where we are.
So on Tuesday or Wednesday they too had used Facebook to research their story, grabbed the drone photos and pasted them into the newspaper frontpage and sent it off to the printworks on Wednesday PM
So when it came out on Thursday that’s how the frontpage of the ScunthorpeTelegraph looks
: grainy drone shots, cos the newspaper people were unable to work out how to get proper HQ images from social media posts
now THAT is urine larceny on quite an epic scale.

For a fire on Scunthorpe I recognised the area from the drone photos.
It was a field fire behind some scrapyards
Again it was cutoff to the middle of the field as if ploughs or fire engines had stopped it
Yet in the local paper it is titled
“*Huge* Scunthorpe blaze was deliberate says fire service”
.. Again that is headline hyperbole, it wasn’t huge .. really
I’d suspect local rough kids rather than XR
Anyways here’s a comment someone made
The BBC does like its exemptions, especially from FOIs, whilst getting very ‘creative’ and/or ‘snarky even with matters of life or death or national security.
When it comes to itself…

Cummings – Why Leave Won the Referendum
nudgestock
the single most important
reason really for why I wanted to get
out of the EU is I think that it will
draw it will drain the poison of a lot
of political debates it will kill off I
predicted that that if we get out you
keep in light alfarache will be finished
that’s an early game for vote leave as
you can see that’s happened that whole
side of politics in Britain will go once
this Democratic control of immigration
policy immigration will go back to being a second or third order issue and that
will be a very positive and healthy
thing for the country
@Marky : Right hand side of your screen where the Youtube transcript is,
there is a three dot button cick it & select “toggle timestamps”. so switch it off
Then copy the text and put it through https://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-line-breaks.php
.. to remove the weird line breaks
Then remove the Youtube errors eg “start” instead of “style”, then put in punctuation.
Thanks – didn’t notice that.
Cumming says
“Fundamentally, pretty much the worst case scenario for Europe, is a return to 1930s style protectionism and extremism
And to me, the EU project / Eurozone project are driving the growth of extremism, which is extremely DANGEROUS.
And the single most important reason really for why I wanted to get out of the EU is, I think that it will drain the poison of a lot of political debates, it will kill off.. (ends)
I predicted that that if we get out, UKIP & Nigel Farage will be FINISHED *
That’s an early gain for Vote Leave & as you can see that’s happened,
That whole side of politics in Britain will GO.
Once there’s democratic control of immigration policy immigration will go back to being a second or third order issue
and that will be a very POSITIVE and healthy thing for the country.
You guys are the educated population and you overweigh being on the opposite side to Farage.
You think ‘Farage is on that side therefore I must be on the other side’.
and that’s actually not a very rational way of thinking
but it’s actually how most educated people thought about the referendum.”
FFS
– Cumings words show he is an Islington bubbleworld open borders man
* His prediction about the end of Farage was completely wrong
– He sucks up to the media elites. Is he lying to them or to us ?
UK life is driven by HATE
but who is doing the hate and who is doing the thinking ?
Instead of thinking libmob go for the simple option of making someone their HATE figure, and then going for the opposite of what he/she says , cos they don’t want to be on the same side as the hate figure
They HATE British/English nationalists , so when those guys spoke up & aid action must be taken against raping gangs
.. libmob thought in-action was best
They HATE Farage so when he spoke up against open borders and the EU : They decided REMAIN must be the way
They HATE Trump : so every single thing he did they took against
They HATE themselves : so when orgs came up that attacked their own heritage like BLM and the statue smashers they sided against British culture
That might explain why they so often side against straight white males too, and take the side of trans extremists & immigrant even when they turn out to be criminals
They HATE people who aren’t in the green cult and label them DENIERS and rush to deny them a voice.
They HATE the rich even though libmob are often rich
They are into the politics of envy .. saying that if someone got wealth, ripping them down the ladder will automatically pull them up the ladder.
But capitalism doesn’t work that way .. socialists ripping ladders down means everyone is at the bottom
Likewise HATE is at the bottom or partygate fury, they know they could have opened up more themselves, but are jealous Downing St and even Starmer made their own decisions on risk
They HATE Oban, the police, The Daily Mail, Murdoch etc. etc.
MM, that supposed statement from Cummings about the EU is pure gibberish. Can we assume that what he told Kuenssberg is also complete rubbish?
Interesting the video gives no detail about the event
and doesn’t allow comments.
OK An event sponsored by Ogilvy called ‘Nudgestock 2017’, where he explains how they managed to win the referendum,
The event was 9th June 2017 so I don’t understand why that video was uploaded by the anti-Brexit channel ONE year later.
@Nudgestock did upload a video on 21 June 2017 but then took it private.
In Sept 2017 someone put up a video of the 90s that Marky is talking about https://youtu.be/gRpudEWKVwg
See how it’ focussed on NUDGE trickery
The Behavioural Insights team, popularly known as the “Nudge Unit”, is playing a big role in helping the government formulate its response to coronavirus.
What is the Nudge Unit?
The Nudge Unit was established in the Cabinet Office in 2010 by David Cameron’s government to apply behavioural science to public policy. Now owned partly by the Cabinet Office, by Nesta and by employees, it has operations across the world.
Its chief executive is Dr David Halpern, former director of research at the Institute for Government, who is also the government’s What Works national adviser.
Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.

The crude sums for NHS T&T show ca. £600 quid each human in the UK contribution.
Have you seen £600 of value anywhere?
I mean 37 billion is a lot of money – even at sunak consultant rates … a breakdown will be most depressing …

Belfield stuff : So far the court case has played out pretty much AB AWAYS said it would
I paraphrase what he said 3 years ago way before this present court case was announced or hi charges~
‘I am a VICYIM of people spreading malicious lies about me including BBC guys like Jeremy Vine and the BBC Northamptonshire DJ
I am being thwarted by BBC trickery to keep me shut up
so I am not able to speak freely
I have hundreds of things to say about BBC cheating
but again I am not entirely free to speak
You know there is one place where I will e able to speak freely and that is in court
They think I am afraid to go to court, but I am not
I will be able to tell all’
So far everything seems to come out like he said , that the people accusing him of stalking were actually stalking him
ie they were the ones following the 30 accounts that were set up to troll him
On top of that they often contradicted themselves, or each other, or seemed to have very selective memories
eg “I can’t remember that”
The weakest part for him is the bit about the BBC Radio Leeds trans DJ
– Earlier communications from him to her establish he was not trans-phobic cos they were sparse & supportive.
Then she took over his old Radio Leeds slot
and he had a special interest in that cos BBC managers had sacked him, and then kept getting in people who got much lower audiences
So he starts to mention her in his complaint emails to BBC management ‘You have chosen this trans person to tick a box, rather than to the benefit of the licence payer’
The BBC maintain that’s harassing her cos they showed the emails to her and that upset her
Later Belfield does communicate directly a couple of times ‘look what you are doing the audience is falling etc.”
Then he does put up a video against BBC Leeds management where he parodies her.
Now he uses a mean style against everyone in his videos, but a woke-court might say trans are not equal but a special category and that being mean to a trans is a super mean crime, but being mean about Farage, Boris , Trump isn’t
In today’s 1 hour he started by mentioning that if the BBC had answered his first question about whether the BBC Northampton DJ had sent the material to the initial troll, that would be one thing.
but they kept refusing to confirm or deny which meant he had ask again and again
Then they turn around and say that him asking again and again is stalking
when their refusing to answer the question
is the cause of him having to ask it again and again.
Now in court the BBC DJ admitted he DID SEND that initial email to the troll, but he says that he told the police that from the beginning.
Minute 48 : Oh a huge deal was made by the anti-Belfield guys saying that Belfield’s own daily coverage would prejudice the trial
BUT BUT the DJ has just screwed up
paraphrased
QC ‘You just said that Belfield sent 4,000 emails to BBC staff, but your previous written evidence said 2,000 why have you changed that ?’
DJ ‘because someone sent me a text about what was said in court a few day ago’
‘But you know you are supposed to give YOUR OWN evidence and NOT look at the newspapers ?’
‘Yes I deleted the text straight away’
Earlier the DJ was dramatic talking about suicide, how he found a rope , started suicide on a number of occasion but never followed through, he cries.. years ago his own boyfriend had committed suicide.
AB’s QC sought to establish that the DJ was a depressive right from the start
that on his very first meeting with AB when AB was 17 and he was 37 he had taken him to dinner and talked about it.
DJ again can’t remember ever going to dinner with AB
The QC showed that he and AB communicated often and had worked on the same station for 4 months.
Again the testimony was contradictory saying that he wasn’t interested in AB , yet then saying there wasn’t a day when he didn’t think about him, about being very frightened by him etc.
The DJ accepted that AB badgered cos he wanted an admission and apology.
The DJ said he didn’t give one cos the police told him never to contact Belfield . And that the police and BBC both knew he had sent the initial email to the troll, but also declined to tell AB, until a few weeks ago.

Oh that much vaunted EU unity which always seems to evaporate when there is a question of national interest as we saw during covid, when the loony Red Labour fools would have given UK vaccines to the EU and also joined the EU ventilator scheme which ended with them having delivered not one single ventilator (Labour would have given them ours while not an EU member whilst other EU states didn’)
Funny how the media wants you to forget all this. So now we’re into the next big collapse in unity. The EU is not the USA and consists of individual member states who really do put their own interests ahead of the group here.
The EU is trying to impose on ALL members a 15% cut in natural gas consumption immediately all of them including states like Ireland which doesn’t get any gas from Russia, also Portugal and Spain neither of which have any pipeline connection for gas to the rest of Europe and are fully served by existing arrangements.
So here we are again with Italy and Germany, possibly Holland and Belgium short of gas because of the Nordstream situation and, the entire EU is being asked to make needless sacrifice which won’t actually make any difference to the EU energy woes. Thank goodness we are not members and thank goodness Red Labour are not in power or those loons would be offering every bit of gas we might have to the Germans who would take it with gratitude and then laugh their heads off at our rank stupidity.
None of it in the pro EU news of course, but it should be.

BBC RADIO 4 Watch (ie. TOADY&TWatO combined) #1 – I have lost count of how many weeks it has been …
….. but it was noticeable that it almost coincided with the start of the final attempt to unseat Boris Johnson as PM. Is it six or seven weeks or longer? May 29th – Sunday – Jonny Dymond fired the starting pistol for the BBC’s campaign to get us back in the EU on TWotWeeee. This morning, TOADY were in on the act talking about the EU’s ‘Horizon Project’ so I switched off in annoyance and somehow, carelessly maybe, forgot to switch back on. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Ed Stourton, caretaking TWatO for the Montacutie who doesn’t like or do Fridays, had an item on the massive queues for the Chunnel and ferries to cross the channel to France. All blamed on the Frenchies. Cost of living crisis? What crisis? Does the Sun newspaper still do £10 Cross Channel Ferry Tickets? The tank load of petrol would cost a fortune though.

Luckily, the bbc has been allowed only to promote what they have settled.
The media.
BBC & ITV local news both act as PR agencies for any green dream project
so tonight gave fawning coverage to Kwasi Kwarteng turning the soil at the Saltend Hull rate-earth metal
plant
Neither mentioned the “£140m project creating 126 jobs”
is only happening cos it’s getting millions from the ATF Automotive Transformation Fund.
Plus words in the reports contradicted reality.
… I checked on Twitter and 1 person tweets the sceptical FT story which raises a whole series of concerns
“Experts cast doubts over UK’s first rare earths processing site”
https://www.ft.com/content/1ccd480b-4926-45ca-b70a-bd8ba3058d10
The project is really a smelter for ores containing radioactive thorium brought from Angola
when it’s finished the plant will then export the metal to Japan and Korea cos the UK has no magnet factories
A commenter says Korea has a new rare earth processing plant already in Ochang.
Other commenters claim the FTs experts are funded by China.
Always intrigued when a sponsored media ad comes my way.
If there’s one thing I know for certain it’s that most of the parasites working for StatOil don’t have a scooby about carbon capture & storage
Equinor the new name for Norwegian national oil corp Statoil
They back a number oil green initiatives like Carbon capture (currently economically unviable)
By shear coincidence they also got UK ATF grant money for their HYDROGEN project also at Saltend, Hull
“Russia is fighting a gas war. It has restarted the Nord Stream 1 pipeline supplies to Europe but not to full capacity.”
“The Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline from Russia to Europe has restarted after a 10-day break.”
