Robinson interviewing starmer over a phone cable . Starmer admits he has dumped his 10 point plan used to get himself the top red labour job ….
He droned . Eyelids closed … but then ‘technical trouble ‘… the line dropped …. But starmer kept going .. the line came back – starmer still going – then the fun was stopped ….
I was a little suspicious that a starmer helper was listening to him dropping himself in it being a bit too truthful and pulled the plug …..
The media knows who talks sense.
Diane Abbott said that Chairman Mao did more good than harm.
Correct. During an episode of This Week in 2008 she said “I suppose that some people would judge that on balance Mao did more good than harm”.
https://fullfact.org/online/diane-abbott-mao/
Robinson’s Tourette’s Syndrome seemed to be somewhat in remission during this interview which, unusually, I listened to.
Mea maxima culpa.
Any suggestions as to why? Has he had treatment or coaching a la Peston? Or does the malady subside when he’s not interviewing Tories?
Listening to bbbc radio Newcastle about the ‘debate’ last night and you would think that their man won hands down.
Lots of positives about him with Liz getting faint praise.
She had a couple of stand out mic drop wins which were not even mentioned.
Rishi accused her of something in a book about China but her reply was that the book was a collaboration and she wrote the chapter on education but the part he was accusing her of was written by his own supporter Raabe.
No mention of Rishi continuously talking (shouting almost) over her all the time. I think Liz once interrupted him but he was doing it all the time. The bbbc said they both interrupted each other.
On Facebook there are many threads about the debate and 99% say the same thing. Rishi was interrupting her and bullying her throughout the whole debate. All the comments say this.
Liz rose above his shouting all the time. If she had joined in with him it would have been a slanging match.
Don’t believe a word of the bbbc reports on this debate, their man was rubbish and Liz was undoubtedly the winner.
If you don’t know who to support, the bbbc want Rishi. That should help you make your mind up.
Emmanuel, “If you don’t know who to support, the bbbc want Rishi. That should help you make your mind up.”
Classic Soviet ‘trick’ ….. or something else?

“Cost-of-living payments branded insufficient as energy bills soar”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62291652
Great Britain has huge resources of energy supplies beneath its feet .
Its high time we exploited them.
Our “carbon footprint” is a fraction of the size of other countries around the globe .
So why is this country and its people making huge sacrifices to our economy ?
Cut the Net Zero Green Tax ! The poor in this country are facing a cold winter .
Scrap the ‘Green Levi’ or this nation and its economy will be bust! We never voted for that nonsense .

Japanese police are turning to tranquiliser guns in an attempt to stem the tide of wild monkey attacks that have been terrorising residents.
In recent weeks, 42 people have been reported injured in Yamaguchi city – including children and the elderly.
The attacks are being blamed on Japanese macaques.

In March 2018, investigations by the Sunday Mirror alleged that the extent of the Telford grooming gang was far more vast than had previously been believed, with claims of up to 1,000 girls, most of them white, having been victims of trafficking, drugging, beating, rape and even murder.
I was watching Neil Oliver’s GB News show the other night when I heard something that had me choking on my beans on toast. Bison (those massive great hairy and horned brutes that used to roam the prairies of north America) have been released into the Canterbury area of Kent. One of his guests was a mega irritating woman with a really screechy high pitched voice, thought it was a wonderful idea. But why?
Beaver have been released, so have a pack of wolves in Scotland. All this is supposed to aid biodiversity and ease global warming.
I looked this up from the official rewilding website; it says, “Rewilding can combat the climate and nature crises as well as offering health, wellbeing and economic benefits. This will ensure we have the habitat for more herbivores to return and unleash their biodiversity boosting rewilding magic.” “Rewilding magic”…WTF does that mean?
A few weeks ago these same people were all fretting about cows burping and farting and telling us we had to eat bugs to “save the planet”. We even saw insane photos of cows wearing gasmasks. Now we’re releasing huge herbivores, that haven’t roamed this country for between 6 to 30 thousand years. Surely they will be creating even more “natural gases”.
We’ve never had a bigger population. I would have thought we needed as much of our food grown here as we can possibly muster. But we’re handing over farmland to either be rewilded, or turned into useless solar farms, most of which packed up last week because it was too hot and sunny.
This won’t end with bison, I can assure you. Next one of these rewilding fruit cakes will be suggesting something like moose…maybe some bright spark might think we should have a population of mountain lions…perhaps the occasional python.
I’m reminded of that old sketch from Fawlty Towers, when an irate guest complains about the view.
“What did madam expect to see from a Torquay guest house” asks Basil…”herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?”
Maybe in a couple of years…

Rewild the English Channel – big sharks …

PASS – NOT SHARE!
This is Nazism, seperating people by race, blaming one race for the worlds ills. It should be banned and if the Left hadn’t falsified history by revisionism because they were incapable of accepting responsibility for what Socialism had done then we would all see this for what it is.
Thoughtful – I wonder if this is all a ‘passing phase ‘ – some early 21st century sickness ?
Is it the way things are now ? Will it become more extreme ?
I wonder if more hardship – shortages – will push things one way or another ….
Hard to see how social media will develop . I suppose those born into it will be totally engaged it – whilst those who had grown up before it achieved prominence -( me) know they can survive without it – but I’m writing a bit out of ignorance because this is the only place I ‘engage ‘…
I do get a ‘funny ‘ response when I explain I don’t do face book or the snap thing and have never twitted….
Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.

In a previous life I had a bit of involvement in the drafting of data protection code of practice on this . ( glaze over ).
At the time it was a ‘brief ‘ so I didn’t indulge myself to much in the morality of facial recognition technology – but another layer of ‘monitoring ‘ on top of ordinary ‘cctv ‘ plus monitoring by the phone sim just adds to the potential for total control and or cancellation ….
I wrote hear a while ago that if more people do steal to eat the supermarkets may take drastic action – the use of such technology may be part of it .
And since the supermarkets will not be relying on plod – they ll buy their own…
I can’t remember recently seeing a person stopped for shop lifting
I’d say lots of the issues aren’t down to stealing, but rude badly trained staff and customers not putting up with it. Especially after the “colleagues” got emboldened by their covid policing powers.
“others would be approached by staff with an offer of “how can I help?” to make it clear their presence had been detected.”
A passive / sarcastic way to spark off another customer?
Society gets creepier by the day
It’s all at the Co op now…
Waitrose, around here in Kent, have a policy of not bothering to prosecute if the value of the goods stolen by scumbags is less than something like a couple of hundred quid! That’s enough pinched nosh to feed the average family, and their fags and cheap lager for a week or so!
I guess most of the supermarkets do the same, and who pays?
Yup, you and me Eddy!
In case you missed it, the BBC want you to know that the Sunak/Truss debate was ‘bad tempered’ and that the pair ‘constantly interrupted each other’.
Well, no. It’s true, Sunak constantly interrupted Truss despite the one example the BBC use of Truss interrupting Sunak, but that was mainly due to the parlous lack of control from head girl Sophie Raworth.
Or was it deliberate? Did she simply sit back and let them rubbish each other and their party with the clear intention of making Skier look incisive and dynamic?
Surely such transparent bias would be entirely outside the BBC remit, steeped as it is in a century of impartial reportage?

Beltane – I reckon the editorial decided to let them have a freeer rein … the c4 was the height of me me me comparing – with a couple of songs from the two players and a chorus by the idiots in the audience ….
… do Tory members really decide on these pantomimes ? I think not – sunak gets killed for being a traitor and crashing the economy – truss gets the job cos she ain’t sunak and her mum wasn’t a chemist – my mum was a chemist – did I mention it ?
To be fair to Rayworth it was the Sunak-Truss show, it wasn’t really her remit to invigilate. If they were from different Parties in a General Election then yes it was. We were however given an opportunity to see Sunak make himself look like what he is, an odious, over-entitled prick. Job done really.
Valid comment Flots, although I’d say there’s a distinction between firmly polite controlling and invigilation.
More to the point, Sophie will be absolutely livid you spelt her name with a ‘y’.
200 lines I’m afraid.

“We were however given an opportunity to see Sunak make himself look like what he is, an odious, over-entitled prick. Job done really.”

As we wrote at the time, these varying claims were all based on slightly differing estimates for the predicted and historic tax burden. But since then, the Office for Budget Responsibility has updated its forecast, and it estimates by 2023/24 taxes will account for 36% of GDP, the highest level since 1949.
taxes will account for 36% of GDP

There are concerns a drought could be declared this summer, as people are being urged to use water wisely.
****
Since records beg… well, 1976. The start.
We have a meter. Water is used wisely.
It’s worth repeating that in the 1976 drought suitably expert experts on the BBC were telling us that northern European agriculture was due for permanent and irreversible change.
The summer months in the following year 1977 were among the coldest and wettest on record.
Suitably expert experts were not asked for an opinion.
Guest Who
More people coming in to this country require more water.
How much water is leaking out of pipes ? It’s probably cheaper for the private companies to issue water warnings and hosepipe bans than it is to repair their leaking pipes and ‘leaky’ reservoirs.
A FOI Request should be sent to the water companies to find out how much is leaking ?
“Consider this, I give this example. If immigration continues at the levels it has average over the last ten years. Britain will be adding 10 million people to it’s population in the next 20 years. That means building a new house roughly every seven minutes. Now, we currently have no leadership from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative or Labour Parties saying they are going to do anything to change that course. @5:56 … if any party wishing to get into power doesn’t address this they are committing political suicide….@10:30″ {youtube – Douglas Murray – oct2015}
… but wait, someone, who is now in power to act out their words, did mention this problem and almost suggests that ‘too high immigration’ should be reduced …
“Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.”

I even found that we’re in credit on our water account!
I popped over to Bewl Water, from whence we have supplies, and it’s half-full, so no panic needed!
A chum and I remember just the original feeder stream running through with bugger all in the reservoir, only a few years ago! They now get some supply from the Medway, but that may dry up soon, and Maidstone will become a desert…

Net Zero and the Green Agenda accepted funds from Putin cronies. The BBC have endorsed Net Zero via the EU directives and has received funding from the EU before Brexit for this very purpose. The EU is now in energy crisis with power cuts expected this winter.
Here in the UK (as BBC claimed the hottest Summer ever (not true), over three days last week. UK faced a brown-out crisis, which is the direct fault of lack of power generation either mid Summer or mid winter.
Director of Global Warming Policy Foundation Benny Peiser says Russian President Vladimir Putin has “colluded” with green movements to tighten energy markets in Europe.
Mr Peiser said natural gas prices in Europe are ten times higher than in the US because Europe is not using its shale resources.
“Putin has colluded with the green movement, not just in Europe, all of the world, also in the US, to support green activists trying to block domestic extraction of oil, gas and coal,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Europe is completely dependent on Russia on energy, which why Europe finds it so difficult to deal with Putin.”

The US and Russia, along with other partners, have successfully worked together on the ISS since 1998.

National Grid’s Electricity System Operator (ESO) was forced to pay £9,724.54 per megawatt hour to Belgium, more than 5,000% higher than the typical price, last Wednesday to prevent a blackout in south-east London, as first reported by Bloomberg.
A sequence of issues around the hottest UK days on record led to extreme constraints in the power system and hiked up demand.

Britain paid the highest price on record for electricity in London last week as the capital narrowly avoided a power blackout, it has emerged.
National Grid paid £9,724 per megawatt hour, more than 5,000% than the typical price, to Belgium on Wednesday to prevent south-east London losing power.
The hottest UK days on record led to power system constraints amid high demand, as first reported by Bloomberg.

A popular Egyptian social media influencer has been arrested in Saudi Arabia, accused of posting sexually suggestive content.
Tala Safwan, who has five million followers on TikTok and some 800,000 on YouTube, drew ire online amid claims a recent video had lesbian undertones.
But Ms Safwan said that had not been her intention.
Police in the strictly conservative kingdom however said the video could harm public morality.
Strange showhorning in the 3pm news
X says the UK economy is to grow slowest in the western world
Y says that’s cos the UK has fossil fuel industries
One minute they are like “fossil fuel companies are evil, look at them these days making huge profits”
Now they claim that an economy that has a lot of these companies making huge profits i one that is poorer
.. that is a contradiction ..Norway is the richest country per head of population cos it has loads of fossil fuels.
For us to import coal is an absolute disgrace.
We have limitless supplies of fossil fuels, and the ridiculous green posturing will break this country and they won’t even be able to cremate me, because there’ll be a power cut or some eco-loon standing outside the crem, waving its arms about, rather like the nutters who used to wander around Oxford Street…

Media win-win is a downward spiral dream.

I got a press release about boiler shortages due to… anything bar the media and Boris threatening to ban boilers.
Does anyone else on here feel like they are being gradually forced into a sort of communist re-education camp. We are bombarded from all media including the grubby BBC in a relentless attempt to make us all conform to the new society. A new society where things that were alien and in some cases repugnant to all of us some short while back are to be accepted without protest as the new normal under pain of retribution.
I was reading yesterday the latest move in this evil construct where the head honchos in the medical profession are now wanting to give up on trying to save the lives of the frail and very elderly in their care or should I say at their mercy.
In other words eradicating what they view as a difficult problem via euthanasia instead of medical care.
This is both callous and immoral but not a peep of objection from the media.
It is now apparent that the globalists have this whole plan worked out and are putting it into action ruthlessly to bring about their unholy great reset.
They are using divide and conquer tactics to break up centuries of cohesion between humans so that there will be no counter pressure as they go about their remodelling, normal relationships, the family and of course the Church are all being dismantled to silence any dissent.
Where are the good guys standing up against this diabolical movement. I’ll tell you. They have all been unplatformed and this has been carefully engineered into the whole plan.
The devil is in fact winning the fight against the good in mankind. Both Stalin and Hitler would have been delighted.
The World is headed towards becoming a filthy shit hole unless enough opposition can be put together to halt this slide and bring these despicable specimens to book.

Stew, we have had drought conditions down in the south-east but it has also been cold and overcast, really until the start of July. The weather has been patchy down here; a couple of good hot sunny days then a poor one. We have had some rain, yesterday evening, for example, quite an extended shower. The ground was still wet this morning. And there was a thunderstorm last week. The rest of the UK has not fared so well as the south-east of England for either lack of rain or hot, sunny, days.
UPDATE. Raining again here, quite firmly at 9 p.m.. Not forecast specifically for the Canterbury area but Ben Rich did warn on R4 after the 6 a.m. News that there was a chance of showers across Kent.

Well I suppose it was as inevitable as sure as night follows day, but I wonder what the fantasy land political elites intend to do. They cannot continue to dole out cash to offset the Green idiocy ad infinitum, and inevitably people are going to freeze.
The more people they can freeze to death the more money they save in benefits and pensions. They can then use that money to send around the world in foreign aid. Oh, and to give themselves another pay rise.
No, that’s not their plan. The evil WEF believes there are too many people alive in the world today, and that is probably true, but it intends to kill the excess off mostly by starvation, Northern by that and freezing to death.

“Truss looked panicked and the broadcast was suspended”
BBC doesn’t like her then, if it’s true she panics so easily , it should be good fun having her as PM.
‘Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says both Tory leadership candidates “are the architects of the mess this country is in”
‘
Can’t argue with that…
Interesting. I was on FB when it broke and a lefty scum media tried to use it to diss her.
Most commenters thought she showed empathy.
I have a prejudice about the complexion of the 160k odd tory members who will actually vote … and i cant see their opinions being changed by Facebook …
Bet head girl would nt have fainted …
Rishi has learned a lesson from last night as he was much better behaved.
Liz should stop making those clucking noises and stop making faces when she wants to say something when Rishi is speaking.
Until the fainting it was more balanced and civilised tonight.
Damn – missed the fainting – was the question swoonable ?
Was at 30000 feet returning to the blighty …
Popcorn.

The mystery persists.
The BBC received hundreds of complaints over comments by one of its football presenters that the “all-white” line up of England’s Euros 2022 women’s team pointed to a lack of diversity….
Eilidh Barbour’s remarks resulted in the BBC receiving the most unsolicited complaints of any programme so far this month.

So far this month. Monthly, yearly, decades of complaints against the tax avoidance ‘corporation’ that never pays any corporation tax on its income. Its the Golden Fleece.
For reasons I have never fully understood, the BBC relish a self-inflicted pain and controversy and to deny – it ever existed; a series of TV and radio staff sexual predators, false news alerts, staff claims found to be grossly false (think Bashir, or Cliff Richard as recent examples), climate predictions (proven wildly inaccurate), and gross staff BBC pay awards (annually) are based on the fables BBC ‘Charter’ to ‘bullshit’ us into submission. And then force us all to pay for it with a license that has lost all meaning.
If Truss (as PM) and Dorries between them can sort out this Thieves banquet, the public will rally to their support. C4 must be sold, followed by 75% of the BBC itself. It has no value beyond what the ‘The Guardian’ reader thinks its worth (beyond all dreams). Hence Subscription is the only fair and sensible option. Guardian readers don’t actually ‘think’, they are told what they are (victims), and that they have no money (victims) – they are the ‘oppressed’ and would all be rich (all races being equal) if they ever get a dream job at the BBC job for the Guardian reader club. No talent required Just a yearning to read the ‘autocue’ in a vanity mirror provided by the BBC as a public service.
Hundreds of complaints per month (every month), for years, decades and they ignore it all, even when fined by the courts. They enjoy it. No apologies. They can afford it. Is that NOT a a perversion in itself? Nothing changes at the BBC but the pay awards.
Women’s football tonight, England v Sweden. The National Anthem seems to have been downgraded to “The National Anthem of England”.
Knee taken by both sides.
On the plus side it seems to be primarily Blonde on Blonde.
Mark Steyn on fire this evening. Great to hear at least one strong voice against the crap normal woke drivel the MSM pump out.
Did you hear Steyn last night
‘I don’t care if you report me to Ofcom, I am not trying to build a UK media career
.. there are things more important than that’
Pity GBnews didnt get a fight gig . Steyn could have hosted with 20 minutes on paki rape gangs 20 on the killer vaccine 20 on the no borders ..
#ClimateScam is trending AGAIN
