When Virgin Care sued the NHS and how Virgin have since misdirected and misrepresented about what happened

The parallel universe of the BBC.
The rail workers are on strike.
The BBC report from….errrr…..Blackpool!
Two local tourism workers are interviewed. They are very worried. Families and day trippers will not be able to get to Blackpool.
Apparently.
Errrr, no.
Here’s a statistic. Only 7% of journeys are by rail.
Many of those are commuters, especially into London.
So by definition Blackpool will be barely affected.
Has the BBC heard of the M6 and M55 ?? To be honest, probably not. They are, after all, north of Watford. And assume car usage, which are not public transport. Or cycling. So the BBC will have no idea.
Completely cretinous reporting by a completely out-of-touch BBC.
They are so Gaddam awful.
The BBC report and feature the anguish of a family in California. Their house has been destroyed by forest fires and (get out the hankies) they have lost all their 15 cats.
The forest fires are of course put down to …..you know what…….global warming and climate change.
When Mrs S and I drove into Yellowstone National Park, we saw mile after mile of burnt lodge pole pine which had been burned in big forest fires.
Oh, did I not mention?
It was 1988.
Yes. Forest fires across the USA have been with us for decades, indeed centuries. It is what happens in dry Summers. And even David Attenborough used to enthuse about this as an opportunity for new growth.
Not now. Now it’s all due to the ‘climate change crisis’.
Does volcanic activity start some fires in Yosemite ?
National Park website “Yosemite is a fire-adapted ecosystem and fire is a natural and beneficial agent of change”
Oh my mistake but Yellowstone is the same
https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/fire.htm
It says In Yellowstone, approximately 78% of fires are caused by lightning, and 22% are human-caused.
but does say that worst fires were in 1988 when the volcano was erupting.
If you take a look at this page you will see the lie the BBC is telling as the trend in california is actually for fewer wildfires the opposite if what would be happening with any warming trend.

NEWS FLASH!!
Roger Harrabin is to leave the BBC this week! It must be true because they’ve just said it towards the end of the Radio 4 6 p.m. news.
Some reaction:
“A savage and incalculable blow to climate science” (A. Einstein)
“He made me feel small and insignificant” (Sir I. Newton)
“Isn’t Harrabin some character in The Archers?” (Mrs E Trellis)
“Who are you? Who are you?” (Street crowd outside the BBC)
“Thank God he’s gone!” (Mustapha)

Truss has promised to suspend green levies – a 25%? Reduction in fuel bills ?
I think the reality is she will say anything to get the votes – but then find it is very hard to end green crap ..
BBC local newsPR opened with drought porn , like the main news just finished with. like had just been on local ITV newsPR.
Now this BBC is doing another promo item for this weekend’s Hull Pride

Now Weatherman, Paul Hudson just had a touch of drought porn
then rushed through the rain that will start Thursday
“Saturday and Monday. patchy rain”

The energy which Russia was selling to Europe is now being sold to China and India and this has made energy prices shoot up.
Before buying their energy from Russia, where did China and India buy their energy because all this energy should now be available for places like Europe to buy.
And are we paying foreign aid to India still?
Quite unbelievable but typical of our woke government today

Deliberate omission. No different than outright lies. They are no better than the guy who tried to slit the throat.
I was going to have a rant about Grant Shapps after seeing him on BBC news this morning. I’ll try and keep it short. He was saying how terrible it was for Railway workers asking for a pay rise. This from a multi-millionaire on over £150,000 a year, probably double that. Gold plated pension, huge payout if he loses his job, free travel, free security, subsisied bars and restaurants, options to make millions on memoirs or directorships when he gets the boot. Goodness knows how many other perks and privlages that we don’t know of or realise he has open to him.
Google his past to see what type of person is lectering Railway workers.
Shapps great achievement was throwing millions ‘ billions at local councils to enable them to close roads – put in effing cycle lanes and screw up the traffic – a Tory throwing money at Marxist council cycling nazis ….
Labour on transport would be no different. To the blue version ….
I didn’t know the Commonwealth Games are being held in Kingston Jamaica…. Well the BBC advert ‘it’s a Brum ting’ looks like it is.
Independence only brought crime and violence to Jamaica
The former colony’s attitude to power is the brutal one of the old plantation system
Ian Thomson
Saturday May 29 2010, 1.01am, The Times
Whatever happened to Jamaica, for so many years Britain’s pride and joy? Since independence in the early 1960s, the cocaine barons have taken over. In the capital of Kingston, where a state of emergency has been declared, armed gangs, police corruption and the indifference of politicians have created an inner city of turf wars and mayhem, where killings take place in daylight.

There was a time when Birmingham was a city populated by white English people, but that is long ago. As someone once said, we must be mad, quite mad.
I agree, how pathetic or even racist to the English is that?
I see Mark Steyn has joined up with Facebook censorship. You may comment on GB News’ pieces but a rigid censorship applies to comments on Facebook. They have not blocked Twitter yet. But Steyn happily goes along with Facebook censorship of comments.
Steyn is a phony. More freedom of expression on the BBC.
Here is the example. This post is on Facebook from GB News.
GB News posted a video to playlist Mark Steyn.
12m ·
‘Why do they have that power? How do they have that power?’
Radio presenter, Jules Serkin, joins Mark Steyn to discuss how Twitter continues to block her friends, who were injured after having the Covid vaccine.
———————————-
In the comments section you find this.
” Most Relevant is selected, so some comments may have been filtered out”.
In fact you don’t get to see any comments. Well done phony Steyn
@GWF how do you that the comments are not being kept off by trolls using the technique of mass reporting a comment as soon as it is posted ?
It is possible, but in most cases it is all comments that are removed.
GWF
How is Steyn – ‘a phoney ‘ – I can see he is a man who makes a living from his ‘niche’ but all journos do . I’d be grateful for evidence of your assertion . I’m not being defensive / critical but genuinely want to know …
It is the blocking of comments. Stew Green has made a useful suggestion and I will follow it up.
G.W.F comments have now appeared on that Steyn Facebook video
The count is 118, but only 57 are visible
You can see them by clicking the “newest” on the drop down menu
Seems a lot of comments are
I guess 60 of the comments are invisible cos they used a word like “vaccine” that triggered Facebook’s filter
That Facebook thread
“But Steyn happily goes along with Facebook censorship of comments.” – could it be GB NEws policy?
How to earn a million in 7 years in Britain today. Be a genuine ethnic, have a winning smile, wear a hijab. Once those boxes are ticked you get yourself on a reality show – preferably one where food mixers are involved. You somehow are the overall winner of this show, by creating a dodgy show stopper cake, then sacre bleu ! you are asked to make a birthday cake for her Majesty – to genuine cooks slapping purple and gold icing on a 2 tier cake is not ‘creative’, plus it was more Leaning Tower of Peckham than a cake fit for her Maj. Next come the BBC programmes, cooking and travel, then the books, then a spot of presenting, throw in some cooking tins with your name on plus an honour from the Queen, and THAT’S how to get your first million.
(her business accounts reported in the press today show her company’s finances, with 2 staff – one being her husband)
Created by the media for their own ends, pushed by the media for there own ends. Used by the media to rub your noses into diversity for their own ends. Goebels would be proud!

BBC London run a feature on the 10 th anniversary of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
We see short sequences from the Opening Ceremony.
Guess which section is shown once. And then shown a second time?
You got it. The bit about the ‘wonderful’ NHS.
Gotta keep the brainwashing going and the BBC can be guaranteed to make it happen.
NHS = Labour, Labour = NHS simples!
Labour jump behind any organisation that as lots of sheeple, NHS, Rail, Teachers, Civil Service etc. lots of brain dead sheep followers.
10pm ITV newsPR opens with a Paul Brand
‘This is what hospitals look like corridor filled with grannies in beds
.. people dying cos the ambulances take too long to come’
Hmm Yes ambulances are a bit hopeless .. make a judgement and put the patient in a car or van if that works
but AFAIK our local hospital rarely has grannies in corridor beds.
It’s not been a warm summer for long cos I only stopped using flannel sheets 12 days ago
yet tomorrow the maximum feels like temp is forecast to be 18C
ie back to coat weather.
Yep but the whiners and we’re all gonna die twats have gone quiet which is a relief!
Stew & digg, back to three layers today and that is indoors! Still feel cold.
If you have caught the current Sure deodorant commercial on TV like me you might be wondering why all of the entirely black and very overweight ladies featured have two legs and arms. Surely this is limbist or should that be ableist or some sort of bloody ist.
Not big into personal products as they seem to invent things on the spur just to shift chemicals which is why they exist but Sure is a gonner for me for “sure” now!
I want to know what the product does, not what the publicity department wants me to think or believe on my attitude to humanity.
A message to all publicity departments: don’t start with this social engineering crap or it will bite you in the arse eventually.
Stop listening to those new interns in the marketing department, they are deluded idiots.
Ladies might buy sure to make themselves attractive and alluring not to smell like sweaty overweight women in the gym.
BJP member says things such as Mohammed slept with a 9 year old girl and he didn’t ride a winged horse. Both are absolutely true.
Muslim’s take offence at it because it goes against their religion and unleash a torrent of hate towards the one who said it.
And there is no doubt whatsoever that if one of those Muslim mobs got hold of who said it, they would be murdered with bare hands. It’s happened many times. You can’t hate much more than that.
And the Left (including the BBC) side with the Muslims. Agenda trumps truth every time.
Pakistan: man sentenced to death for blasphemy on Facebook
Taimoor Raza was found guilty of insulting the prophet Muhammad during an argument on social media with a counter-terrorism official
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/11/pakistan-man-sentenced-to-death-for-blasphemy-on-facebook
BBC:
Kherson: Ukraine stepping up counter offensive to retake city – sources
Ukraine war: West’s modern weapons halt Russia’s advance in Donbas
Hooray ! – Ukraine are winning right ?.
So I check other sources and it seems the relentless Russian bombardment continues. The Western weapons are making little difference in the Donbas where the vast majority of their artillery is old soviet design and the Ukranian counter attack has failed to take the city up to now.
But the big thing I notice nowadays is that the BBC are incapable of writing news reports to just give us the facts. Their articles all concentrate on specific people they have chosen and instead of news and we get one two peoples opinions. And those people have of course been specially chosen to have an opinion in line with what the BBC agenda wants. And they have no problem watsoever using dirty emotional-blackmail trickery by adding empathy-laden snippets to make sure you take the side of the person talking.
And of course we all know why by now : they can present an article which says anything they want as fact because it’s not the BBC saying it.
Just look at this they included which has absolutely nothing to do with the story:
‘”This is no life for us. Nowhere is safe. I honestly wish my life was over,” said 86-year-old Anna Ivanova, bending low, with the help of a walking stick, to pull weeds from her garden’
So this 86 year old started weeding her garden while being interviewed by a BBC reporter ?. Poppycock.
Their Ukraine coverage is analogous to looking through binoculars the wrong way round.
I propose they are stripped of the title ‘BBC News’ and it is replaced by ‘BBC Inflight Magazine’.
Today 1
On a day where the labour leader sacks the boyfriend of the deputy leader from his job as shadow transport secretary – the BBC looks everywhere else for distractions .
The main one is some sports thing being held in Birmingham .
But back to red labour . What is this internal wrangling about ? Is it important ? How will it feed into the coming party conference . Will scum Rayner resign ( hope not ) will internal splits in the reds become more public ?
Ok it’s only an hour into the show but it’s not being presented as a Tory Scrap would be …. The sacked chap is called Sam tarrey – and apparently he did some media appearances in support of scum unions striking yesterday .
These appearances were unauthorised . He also broke a directive not to go on picket lines …..
As a punter the biggest question is ‘how much money does mr tarrey or his scum girlfriend take from the rail unions ? Again – of course silence – so far from the BBC.
Other huge events taking place are barely covered – a .75% – I will say it again – a .75% rise in US interest rates taking it to 2.5% – on top of .75% last time . A recession in the US is deemed certain – with the knock on effect here ?
Big news – no . Biden blamed no . Biden mentioned ? No .
Let’s do another thing about the sports day ….
A different report. Tragedy . A baby murdered by the monster due to formerly adopt it . The ‘birth mother ‘ interviewed . But no mention of the father ( was there one ?) or the detailed reason why the baby was removed at birth …..
I will be blunt . I don’t care that much . But this killing was covered so embarrassingly badly the people who pay for the BBC deserve a lot more …
On the upside – if bbc reporting is declining so badly – it will be another reason why support for the bbc will diminish faster and we can say farewell to the monster
Now back to the sports day – Lenny – how’s it going ?
Oh yeah – in passing – gas prices went up 2% yesterday because of the reduction in gas supply from mother Russia – it’s now near the record high price ….
Now back to the sports day …
Just an update – comrade Robinson has nice chat with comrade Diane Abbot about the sacked comrade … in passing he mentioned the labour anti semitism report published and ignored last week .
Abbot went straight to the message ‘ inflation – wages ‘ – no reply to the report and Robinson – who understand was born a Jew – didn’t challenge her or push it . Obviously the treatment of Jews in the Labour Party / bbc – isn’t an interest or an issue ….
At the end Robinson asked whether abbots ex boyfriend – comrade Corbyn – would make a good independent labour mayor for London …. I shuddered …. And thought again about leaving the country ….let’s call it white flight …
Now back to the sports day – Lenny – how’s it going ? Runners all coloured folk ? Must be proud …take that knee
Fed up
I heard that interview.
And to be absolutely fair, Abbott had been well-schooled, what she did was to stay on message and only talk about the rail unions and train strike. She wasn’t to be goaded.
Would that the Tories would do that occasionally. Instead, time and again, they fall for the Toady ploy of ‘Mr Transport Secretary, before we get onto the rail strike, what is your opinion on the ITV news feature of grannies waiting in corridors in A and E’?
And a gotcha moment is guaranteed and it’s trebles all round.
Sluff
I really cannot see the value of a blue labour politician going on the BBC . Where is the gain ? And message will be crushed by interruption and abuse – the ‘some say you are a scumbag ‘ question so loved by comrade Robinson and the paki one ..
Labour HQ must have laid the line to keep to the script because they know when she goes off message it can go anywhere …
Talking of on message – ‘Lenny’ will be on best behaviour with the promise of a peerage in the New Year .
I wonder who deserved a knighthood more – Lenny – 0r Bernie cribbins ? ( I don’t care because 99.9%) of the people who get those things don’t deserve them .
They are one of the things to ensure the bedrock of society is corrupt ..and corruptible ….
The nut nut list will be a hum dinger…
In the absence of enlightenment from the BBC I thought I’d look up comrade Tarrey and share it as a reminder of what the red labour is – I feel him to be a ‘class enemy ‘…
STARTS From 2009 to 2011, Tarry was the Chairman of Young Labour, the youth wing of the Labour Party.Tarry went on to be active in anti-fascism, including working as a Community Organiser for Hope not Hate.
Tarry served as a Labour Party councillor for Chadwell Heath ward, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, from 2010 to 2018. Tarry was criticised for allegedly living in his home in Brighton, which is 70 miles away from his council seat in Barking and Dagenham. Tarry was investigated by police for electoral fraud in relation to this matter. Tarry was cleared by the police investigation, as he was found to own a second home in Barking and Dagenham, and therefore was legally resident in Barking and Dagenham at the time of his election.
Tarry speaking in 2016
In 2016 Tarry worked under Jon Lansman’s supervision as a director of Jeremy Corbyn’s successful Labour Party leadership campaign.
Tarry subsequently worked as the national political officer for the TSSA trade union, and served as the president of a thinktank, the Centre for Labour and Social Studies (CLASS).
In 2017 Tarry stood for selection to be the Labour parliamentary candidate for the Labour-held seat of Hull West and Hessle. He was the favourite to be selected.. but wasn’t ..
ENDS
There is more detail in the wiki entry ……I particularly liked the bit that comrade Samuel had a second home in his constituency but actually lived in Brighton – 70 miles away – comrades …..
If red labour got into power – I think they’d fix it to be permanently in – using democrat methods …

Tradition would have it that the Guardian was our BBC’s favourite newspaper. This broadsheet, left-leaning, public sector-orientated, pretentiously artsy in outlook – so long as the artistic outlook was leftward – and super-fascinated by identity politics organ seemed the obvious go-to title of choice for bedfellow, ally and print sister to our national broadcaster.
No wonder former BBC newsroom veterans were handed that paper by their editor and told there’s all the background you need on a story.
The Gruan still hits all the right-on notes agenda-wise. Where else would the frontpage pin up obituary be: James Lovelock 1919-2022. Climate prophet and pioneer of science – prophesy before science, we note.
The main headline duly delivers the left’s brave nostalgic ultimatum to conservatives: Unions issue general strike threat as rail chaos grows – and there’s some nod from the managerial middle class to the apparent dire plight of the plebs: Households face £3,850 energy bill by Christmas – but is this not exactly what the prophet Lovelock and his disciples would have wanted? So as to wean us fossils off the bad fuels that make the weather so angry as to punish us humans?
Of course if one looks in from outside of the lefty bubble one notes the contradictions – 1984-wise – “War is Peace” – we now go further than Orwell imagined “War is Love” – that’s when we send weapons to Ukraine.
And we all support the war effort, no matter what the cost: A sponsor scheme has brought nearly 100,000 Ukrainians so far to Britain, but Scotland suspended its version of the scheme earlier this month after a dramatic increase in the number of new applicants… Scotland has started to house Ukrainian refugees who fled the Russian invasion on a cruise ship docked off Edinburgh, the devolved government has said… Former finance minister Rishi Sunak — who is competing with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss to replace outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson — recently unveiled plans to detain migrants on cruise ships after they crossed the Channel. – oh, the contradictions (a debut appearance hereabouts for Dawn.com -“Your window to latest news, analysis and features from Pakistan” – get used to it!)
“Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.” – so wrote George in about 1948
Snappier, more brash, suitably dumbed-down for the modern educationally-hampered thinking-deficit generation, whilst just as on-message as the Guardian, that’s our left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper.
Significantly this colourful whippersnapper beats the ageing Manchester-born Gruan into second place this morning in the BBC’s online press line up.
What was Eric Morecombe’s excuse? “I’m playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order”
The ‘i’ headline is parallel with that in the Gruan yet more specific, more combative, a more direct gun to the head of the Tories: UK general strike threat if Truss takes on unions (‘i’)
Handily for BBC press pickers most agenda bases are covered most days: Brexit’s grim shadow looms over this Tory contest; On board a migrant rescue boat. Screaming children pulled to safety… Women kiss deck as 400 people rescued in 36 hours; ‘Now let more girls play football’
Come on Guardianistas, you’re going to have to up your game if you’re not going to lose your BBC love to this flashy new consort.
Asiseeit . Thanks . I’m glad you mentioned Jim lovelock RIP – I read his book’ Gaia’as a teenager – I was of the right then so treated the hippy lefty approach with due criticism.
But I still thought lovelock had something about the planet responding is we mistreat it …. And noted that his views changed across time – even becoming pro nuclear ….
As for a national strike is truss becomes PM – get planning now – I say – and it will give her the sort of boost to get re elected next time . Yes yes I know – but the tories are the least worst choice and I’d prefer a Right Wing government not the woke crap we have had to suffer.
Wasn’t Lovelock just doing a biological macro version of the Le Chatelier Principle?
Justin Rowlatt and Zac Goldsmith to analyse?
Isn’t it amazing what they can do with robots these days ? It almost looks real . Madam Tussaud’s must be proud …
And you can’t be pro democracy if you steal an election ….
TOADY Watch #1 – Off-switch time again
In the Prime Interview slot at 8.10 a.m. the Bee Lady is interviewing the D Lady and they are talking about the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. There is big concern from the B lady over the Pride Banner being flown and that some participating countries may have a poor record on alphabet rights. The B lady asks the D lady about this. I hit the off-switch.
A thought crosses my mind a moment afterward: will Chris Pincher MP be invited to carry the Rainbow Barrier?

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.

Climate change killing elephants, says Kenya
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-africa-62323058
And there we have another classic BBC headline : Assertive statement that the drought is because of climate change but ‘says Kenya’ tacked on the end to remove any responsibility of making sure it’s true.
So I did a bit of research. Keny had a natural disaster through drought in:
1975,1977,1980,183,1984,1991,1992,1995,1996,1999,2000 and 2004 (from a report which looks like it is from 2004).
And it runs on a cycle of roughly 10 years so one is due about now.
But THIS one is because of climate change!. I will bet my hat that petitions will be made for funding to help deal with it and lots of officials will suddenly get rich.
That’s what 90% of the phrase ‘climate change’ means to me.

This was a complex and high value clinical negligence case involving the treatment of a cerebral arterio-venous malformation in 2012. The trust admitted liability and settlement received court approval in 2019. Solicitors for the claimant submitted a bill of costs exceeding £1m.
On 2 July 2021, Mr Darren Dommett was sentenced[1] to 29 weeks, almost 7 months, in jail for attempting to defraud the NHS of nearly £2 million. The Court found Mr Dommett had deliberately and grossly exaggerated the extent of his disabilities.
At a committal hearing on 11 February 2021, Ms Linda Metcalf was sentenced to six months in jail for deliberately attempting to defraud the NHS in excess of £5.7 million. In addition, Ms Metcalf was ordered to repay the costs of the committal hearing within
Marky – that looks like an excellent site – and reminds me of the monthly output of the CAA – FAA – publishing of findings from investigations into flight incidents – big and small .

Working women need greater menopause rights – MPs
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-62323327
The missus is going through this at the moment (although she’d hate me mentioning that), and I’m aware there can be some challenges, but most workplaces these days have plenty of women and plenty of awareness and allowance for such issues.
Having recently, voluntarily swapped desks with a colleague to give her a ‘more comfortable working environment’ (e.g. the desk next to the only opening window in our stifling office) for exactly this reason, I’m not going to blow my own trumpet about it… it’s what I (and I’m pretty sure 99.9% of men) would consider basic human decency. But, I missed that window in the warm weather, and as someone who suffers from ‘claustrophobia’ without some fresh air, I’m not sure I shouldn’t have a ‘right’ to it as well?
Are government enforced ‘policies’ on this matter really required, or beneficial? In my experience, most men are actually quite gentlemanly about arrangements for women in the workplace – rather like we have a woman’s toilets the same size as the men’s, even though we have only 5 women working in the building (some part time), compared to 50 odd men (all full time), or women are allowed to wear whatever they want, when us men are expected to wear suits and ties?
Anyway, what made me stop and ponder was this line:
” The committee said the omission of the menopause as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act was no longer tenable given 51% of the population – including some trans men and people who were non-binary – would experience the transition. ”
Is a ‘trans man’ a once woman who is now a ‘man’? I get confused about these terms (which I’m half sure is the idea), but does this mean if I now self identify as a woman, I’m also going to be entitled to menopause leave? For the rest of my working life? What if ALL of us men now self identify as women, or trans women(?), do we ALL get menopause leave? Maternity leave?
In warm weather there are days when some of us have been talking about self identifying as women so we’d be entitled to wear skirts – rather than trousers, and could take our ties off.
I’m not sure giving one gender specific advantages, enshrined in law at work is always a wise move, it seems to generate a lot of resentment if pushed too far, and is actually counter productive when it comes to ‘equality’. Why not just let each workplace decide for itself, and if women (or men) are getting a raw deal, am sure they’ll move where the conditions are better.
If 51% of the population are women, what % are ‘trans men’, and ‘non-binary’? What % are trans women? What % does that leave for us men men? Clearly less than half the total.
BBC, this is another load of crap that social media has turned into a full blown issue – exacerbated by the likes of Davina McCall and other slebs who want to up their profile or to promote an upcoming book.
The Change of Life – menopause, is a fact of life, its not a sodding illness ! yet all these middle aged snowflake women are expecting an instant fix with advice coming via endless magazine columns, tv, and slebs.
A lot of women sail through it, a lot of women tolerate it, and a lot of women have to put up with endless hot sweats and mood changes. BUT it passes, its not a life sentence, nobody dies from the menopause.
Until the last 40 years when HRT was invented, there was nothing to help, so women ‘just got on with it’.
I barely noticed it, but I remember getting over irritated by my late husband at times, but then, was it the menopausal symptoms or just being married ???
Who really controls The Labour Party.
This should tell you all you need to know….
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62329521
Time they went the whole hog and renamed themselves as The Communist Party.
Digg
Are you referring to the Labour Party or the BBC?
Or both?
They are mutually interchangeable are they not?
I thought it was university lecturers, charity bosses and any other “intelligentsia “ that controlled Labour— but not workers .
For those who watch – read or just absorb T Much “news” – I present you with a story in the DT where an Italian RC priest held a mass on an Italian beach using a lilo as the alter . He was also wearing swimming trunks ….
… now as a practicing RC I see nothing wrong with this . But the local prosecutor – a senor satan has opened a file for something like ‘bringing the church into disrepute ‘….
.. another story with ‘traction ‘ is the young British man who tragically – and I mean awfully – walking into the tail roter of a helicopter he had got out of / allighted from and was killed ….
…. The facts of this seem to vary – including words like ‘wealthy’ – ex public school boy ‘ and ‘ parents witnessed incident on a second helicopter ‘ .. they were heading for a private jet .
This apparently happened in Greece .
Now as a helicopter pilot ( yawn ) I can understand how such things happen and wonder why they don’t happen more …. For instance – as I am 6’4’ my natural posture is ‘bent ‘ so when taking on pilot duty with the rotors turning tended to prevent a serious chance of getting a hair cut …

When Islamic State named themselves the BBC used ‘So called Islamic State’. Why not ‘Three Little Pigs’ instead? {bbc – muslims offended by three little pigs – jan2008}
Please note that headlines in stories matter for internet search engines. The title has a higher weighting than content. ‘Three Musketeers guilty of planning UK terror plot‘ is a side story, a stronger title is ‘Birmingham,UK Islamic Terrorist Plot – 3 found guilty with Pakistani ties‘.

“They had tried to join an al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan (tried? how long where they gone? who else went with them?). However, when they arrived back in the UK they were arrested and in 2012 both pleaded guilty to engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.”
… so trained in Pakistan, then finished their training in the UK prisons? …
“Since they’ve come out of prison, they’ve been inspired by the Daesh ideology. (after prison or in it? Some clarity please.)
“They shared lots of material regarding that ideology (what books? from where? name the books!), lots of very violent material, they were trying to encourage others to join them on that journey. (when in prison? where? how?)”
I suppose the chicken shops / taxi firms and other covers for paki rape gangs will have a busy few days ….

Indeed, the above examples demonstrate a pattern of promoting inaccurate information with the
effect of pathologising Muslim communities under the guise of ostensibly academic and evidence
driven analysis – a pattern that is visible in other security think tanks as well. As a particularly
prominent example, ‘grooming gang’ scandals involving groups of South Asian men (amongst
others) systematically abusing young people across the UK since 2010 were capitalised upon by
the now defunct Quilliam Foundation, who produced a report (which has since been removed)
arguing that 84% of grooming gang offenders in the UK are Asian, with the majority being of
“Pakistani origin with Muslim heritage”.29 Under academic scrutiny, this statistic and
accompanying report were described as “a case study in bad science: riddled with errors”.30
However, the report had already been widely platformed by international media outlets,
politicians, and pundits to further anti-Muslim and anti-immigration agendas.
Fed not forgetting the team that ‘disappeared’ after they had booked in at the hotel. Whereabouts unknown.
I have written about this before. But the BBC needs to be reminded

Time for light relief.
Sluff,
Do you think the bBC men in white coats have got a hold of Mr Tim Davie – he seems to have disappeared?
I was a bit disappointed with GB News and Mark Steyn last night. Firstly there was no mention of Sam Tarry being in a relationship with Angie Rayner. I would have thought that our understanding of the political reasons for the sacking might need to take that into affect.
And Mark Steyn, who is someone I usually admire for his outspokenness, had on his programme Professor Richard Ennos. Professor Ennos was speaking about the affects of the covid vaccination boosters on the death rate. Whilst I was watching him speak, I began to wonder what his specialism was – ie was he a statistician or a virologist. It turns out that he is a professor for trees ie research is concerned with the integration of genetics into ecology and the practical applications of this knowledge in ecological management. He works on plants, principally forest trees, and the fungi with which they interact. I am not sure that his bio means he is qualified in setting up experiments to investigate the effect of vaccinations (or whatever anyone wants to call them) on humans. Whilst I am open to concerns about the effects of vaccines, Professor Richard Ennos is not the person to convince me.

One of the faults of all media is the failure to properly introduce talking heads . Obviously the BBC leads with way with starving nurses who , during the intro , don’t get described as the militant Marxist they just happen to be .
GBNews being sloppy – is a bit of a surprise but not much .
I think Mr Steyn will be gone by 2023-I have no evidence for this though – although I bet the enemies of GBNews such as OFCOMBBC will have a big file by now …

Steyn courts a ban from Ofcom every week.
His denunciations of the Covid vaccine and championing of its victims, his attacks on the police and social service for their complicity in the grooming gangs scandal and his exposure of the WEF , is outstanding work . Unique in the British media. He has rattled the cage of the establishment narrative on so many occasions that I’m astonished that he I hasn’t been banned by now . Perhaps he has been told to dial it back a bit .

BBC World News today — I still don’t understand what’s really going on in Ukraine but that missile’s getting a fair bit of publicity.
(It turned up in someone’s kitchen in March, through the front door it looks like).
A cursory look shows that the entry hole carefully cut in the ceiling is far too small for the missile fins to fit through. Plus a missile arriving at say 200 to 300 mph weighing as much as that one would have totally destroyed the roof let alone the ceiling and no way would be brought to a halt by a kitchen unit, it would be a few metres buried in the ground leaving a big crater if it didn’t explode.
Pure and very badly carried out propaganda!

And in the real world you can tell those remainers you come across had we still been EU members, we would have had to save 15% of gas to bail out the crazy German lunacy of reliance on Russian supplies.
Because it’s impossible to limit the amount of gas someone in a home uses, this would almost certainly have resulted in power outages.
On top of that because the UK has virtually no gas storage now we will not be able to cope with severe demand fluctuations.
Someone who works with the gas grid tells me they are facing an impossible task trying to maintain the pressures in the system and we are only in July, what is it going to be like come the Autumn and Winter?
There are now sales of camping gear you might find useful to have in if the unthinkable happens and the lights do go out for a long period.

Today’s headlines are a bleak read and show us the dire state of our energy systems and the climate crisis.
But there’s a problem with our news.
Last month record heat waves ravaged the UK, with wildfires across the continent destroying people’s homes and nature. But the press and media weren’t reporting the full truth. They’re still illustrating their stories about the heat waves with pictures of packed beaches and kids licking ice creams. And often ignoring the most important fact: these fires are a product of the reckless burning of fossil fuels and the climate breakdown it causes.
Can you write to your local paper and tell them to talk about the climate crisis?
Across the coverage of the heatwave, the climate crisis was hardly mentioned.
Groups like Extinction Rebellion have been targeting the national press to get them to tell the truth about climate breakdown. Now let’s target the local press and demand the same.
There’s a template with ideas of what to write, but the best letters will be about your personal experiences and the impacts of the climate crisis on your local area.
