Haven’t seen much comment about it on this blog, but then, hardly heard anything about it appeared on the ‘Today’ programme this morning either…. apart from the tiny bit about an animatronic bull near the Birmingham Bullring’.
There was one other bit about how the audience at the opening ceremony really hadn’t a clue about what was going on before them, given they didn’t have the ‘rose-tinted’, ‘rainbow-loving’, ‘diversity-driven’ pre-prepared aide-memoir BBC scriptto tell them what the hell it was all about.Naturally, the Beeboids couldn’t quite bring thesmselves to describe it thus, obviously.
Usually, an opening ceremony to a Games bash in the UK is blasted from the rooftops as the epitome of a celebration of the United Kingdom, and occasionally includes glowing references to the (aptly named at the time) British Commonwealth of Nations.
Last night, though, was a nightmare of activist political tripe, which I suffered for as long as I could bear (and that didn’t take long), but then just switched it off – even forgoing any fireworks show, which can hardly be claimed to be ‘inclusive’, diversitied’, etc., and might even have been mildly diverting for its duration.
Seems like the media in general just didn’t want to talk about it this morning (for fear of being labelled, racist, phobic, or whatever, if they told the truth ?) and even the BBC just hid it away in the hope that nobody would notice how bad it really was. It must have been really bad, because none of the usually-prepared and perenially-used superlatives was on show this morning.
I must have made the right decision to switch it off, then.
richard D, I was led to believe by the BBC on R4 News at 10 p.m. last night and again at 6 a.m. this morning that the Commonwealth Games opening featured a giant ball. I see from the photograph on the front page of the Guardian https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-62342301 how far the BBC standards of elocution and diction have declined during my lifetime.

The energy profits are described as an “insult” to working people in the front page headline of the Guardian. The paper points out that the news comes just a day after it was reported that average annual energy bills could rise as high as £3,850 by the start of next year. The page also carries a picture of the huge mechanical bull that featured in Wednesday night’s opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, a tribute to the city’s industrial past.

“A King’s College study has shown that children in Tower Hamlets have lungs, which are up to 10 per cent smaller than the national average because of air pollution.”

Pakistan’s middle class — a rapidly growing demographic given to conservative, anti-American views — is the top conjurer and consumer of such conspiracies.

Why Dutch farmers are protesting over emissions cuts
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62335287
About time the BBC mentioned the (very slightly annoyed about losing their livelihoods) Dutch farmers.
“Dutch government proposals for tackling nitrogen emissions indicate a radical cut in livestock – they estimate 11,200 farms will have to close and another 17,600 farmers will have to significantly reduce their livestock.
Other proposals include a reduction in intensive farming and the conversion to sustainable “green farms”.
As such, the relocation or buyout of farmers is almost inevitable, but forced buyouts are a scenario many hope to avoid.”
I’m not surprised farmers are terrified and angry!
“Biodiversity is under threat. Native species are disappearing more rapidly here than elsewhere in Europe, according to the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.
Rudi Buis, a representative from the ministry of agriculture, tells me the stakes are high: “It’s necessary to improve the nature, for our health, for clean air, water, soil and also for the agriculture because we need biodiversity. We need insects for our crops… if we want some economic activity in the future, we also have to improve our nature.”
In May 2019, the Council of State ruled the government’s strategy for reducing excess nitrogen breached EU directives on preserving vulnerable habitats.
The judgment meant every activity that led to nitrogen being emitted, from building new homes to farming, required a permit.”
The Netherlands is the most densely populated country in Europe – thanks to mass immigration in recent decades. We’re a very close second (I mean England in this case, rather than the UK in its entirety).
To get things straight here, mass immigration over decades, now means the Netherlands has no space for wildlife, and has required more and more intensive farming – something for which the stressed out farmers are now blamed, and for which many will now lose their family farms and livelihoods. You couldn’t make it up – politicians are going to totally crucify farmers for doing what politicians forced them to in the first place!
If I was a Dutch farmer I’d be one of those spraying the parliament with manure too.
“”I said in the [parliamentary] debates, be careful what you wish for because when the farmers are gone, they are not going to come back. If we depend on imports – you see it with gas from Russia – we have a big problem.””
Quite. Lessons could be learnt here too, but you know what? I think it’s too late… we’re screwed.

The original cobra effect
The Indian cobra
The term cobra effect was coined by economist Horst Siebert based on an anecdote of an occurrence in India during British rule.[2][3][4] The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, enterprising people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped. When cobra breeders set their now-worthless snakes free, the wild cobra population further increased.[5]

BB also worth noting that the Netherlands have been put down as a WEF “food innovation hub”, Rutte is please to announce.
Increasing the amount of state-owned land and use of gene editing and agri-tech to ‘transform’ food systems. UK Gov are also offering lump sums for farmer to retire or leave their profession. Build back better… after you’ve demolished the incumbent practices.
Sooner or later these characters will be paying a personal price ..
The clock is close to midnight but not in the way Charlie the dumb thinks.
The cognitive dissonance of the likes of the heir keep on astonishing me year after year after year. Leaving aside climate change issues , where I think Charlie has swallowed dubious science and its alarmist predictions whole, he wants to preserve the planet , preserve the forests , stop pollution of the sea , re wild areas where possible, eat better quality food , all things that I completely agree with.
But at the same time he wants us in our little island to welcome huge numbers of third worlders who use services , energy, require housing , food , produce waste ( we won’t go into their other undesirable impacts) .
It simply doesn’t make sense to me that you can want to mutually exclusive outcomes. The best thing that could be done on behalf of the world would be to reduce the current human population by simply taking birth control measures of countries of high population growth. But no , Charlie et al simply ignore logic and go on with their increasingly deranged crusade.
Tom Bower’s ‘Rebel Prince’ explains why our king in waiting is such a sad, strange and convoluted man. Perhaps the greatest of his many delusions and a potential cross for us to bear, however briefly, is to think himself intelligent.
His late father, Prince Phillip is quoted as saying that the reason for the Queen’s and his own longevity is ‘to keep Charles off the throne for as long as possible…..’
Funny thing is – those with the most to lose – bill gates – Charles Windsor – and the like – are most enthusiastic about the green crap ….
If the aim is to reduce that standard of living of ordinary plebs – then it follows that they’ll be less signed up to the cause ….
I wonder if it’s some sort of return to feudalism – after all – we haven’t been out of it all that long – the WEF must dream of that cause – bread and circuses …dumb down …
A nice irony of inviting Charles to stay for the weekend is that his Aston or Bentley will be preceded by a pantechnicon full of his favourite furniture, paintings, foods and toiletries – including a white calf leather loo-seat cover.
Carbon footprint handmade by Lobbs, of course.
I was busy with a hospital appointment yesterday but I understand from reading the BBC website that the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony starred a Muslim girl, a diver promoting unnatural sexual practices and the worship of a giant bull (metal, if not golden).

Lol ! love it.
Biden blames Momentum for US inflation.

YOUR COMPLAINT:

Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,
You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.

Yet Belfield calls out the same individuals again and again like Jeremy Vine
sure that is intimidating for the individuals, but I don’t think that is harassment. There should not be a rule whereby someone should be able to get away with something jut co you already asked them about it 3 time and they refused to answer.

In risky move, Ukraine’s president bans pro-Russian media
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has unplugged three television networks he accuses of spreading Kremlin-funded ‘propaganda’, a development the EU has reprimanded.

Kyiv, Ukraine – In a move hailed by pro-Western Ukrainians, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unplugged three television networks overnight that he said spread Kremlin-funded “propaganda” and served as a bullhorn of an increasingly popular pro-Moscow party.
But his ex-Soviet nation of 43 million is polarised linguistically and politically, and the move may prove risky for the political fortunes of Zelenskyy, a former star comedian who hails from a Russian-speaking family.

Worth stepping back every so often to see how we got here.
From The times
Begins
China is stepping up construction of coal-fired power stations and has ordered an extra 300 million tonnes of the fossil fuel to be mined every year as it apparently contradicts its own climate change commitments.
Beijing approved the construction of 8.63 gigawatts (GW) of coal power in the first quarter of this year, nearly half the amount seen in all last year, according to a report from Greenpeace East Asia.
President Xi last year committed to phase down coal use from 2026 to tackle China’s position as the world’s biggest emitter by volume of greenhouse gases. However, climate experts are concerned those targets are undermined with a government focused on economic challenges.
Ends
Burn those hydrocarbons – heart warming …
Here’s a heads up, the oil price has now rebounded to just over $100 and is still climbing, I’m sure everyone knows the drill, up like a rocket down like a feather.

Team Rishi aren’t happy about all the negative press they’ve been getting over the couple of weeks. They’ve just put out a new press release attacking the “continued and deliberate leaking” of official documents which have made Rishi’s life difficult on the campaign… by using his own record against him. Now he’s asking Simon Case to get involved:
“The Rishi Campaign condemns the continued and deliberate leaking of government documents. We will continue to report all such leaks to the Cabinet Secretary who we expect to carry out full and proper investigations.”
What leaks might Rishi be upset about? The Treasury documents which completely undermined his pledge to “scrap or reform EU laws in 100 days” is a strong bet. Earlier this month, just after promising to review all of the remaining 2,400 EU laws on the statute book, Bloomberg revealed the Treasury had – under Rishi’s leadership – written to Liz Truss to claim that reforming EU taxes was desirable but probably not deliverable until 2026. Last time Guido checked, that wasn’t quite within 100 days. Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg even responded with by claiming it was “a surprising promise as the Treasury under his leadership was insisting that taxation was exempt from the removal of EU law.” What was it Rishi said about “fairytale promises”?

Sunak is an Indian whose father in law is a big supporter of Narendra Mohdi and the BJP in India. This has upset Muslims in Britain who have mounted a campaign against him.
Saudi Arabia and other oil rich countrys now have even more money thanks to Russia and are mnot averse spending it on the promotion of their religion, and so here come the leaks about Sunak and the media has a miraculous change of heart.
Once you realise the Muslims have an angle and an axe to grind it becomes clear the reasons why certain things happen the way they do.
Our expert BBC Weather Forecasters are apparently shocked at both the number and the levels of abuse levelled at them from the public following their ‘just slightly hysterical and repetitive ‘ assessments of the 2-day heatwave last week.

More and more examples of incoherent rambling from both Biden and pelosi – quite something that US politics allows these mentally challenged people to appear to be in change
And another worry is how the compliant docile mass media there raise no question about their capacity – surely the American people must be looking ? Seeing ? Noticing ? Surely they are not all thick ?
It’s contagious! Biden, Harris, and Pelosi I’ll have whatever it is.
Last time I saw an old bird gabbling like that, she was as pissed as a fart!
To be fair, she might be too.
Take pity on the White House aides trying to keep notes of a discussion between Pelosi and Biden on some policy issue of great importance to the American people. How would Hansard fare if these 2 somehow ever came to address our Parliament?
If only Stanley Unwin was still around, he might have made sense of their ramblings.

Why not? It’s perfectly natural, not to say necessary, to try and understand who is committing crime and why. What are the police afraid of?

They’ve arrested 2 people
and details are being held back.
Someone must already know more about what actually happened.
The threat of crime from Eastern Europeans is becoming more prevalent. Albanians, Croats, Slovenians, are all here organising their mafias. They have also infiltrated other European countries – Malaga in S. Spain is now over run with them and crime syndicates are rife.

I see Joe Lycett has exposed the BBCs massive Left wing bias at the Commonwealth games.
‘I’m going to do something now that the British Government doesn’t always do, and welcome some foreigners!’
If the fake Tories had any backbone at all they would have been on to the DG and Ofcom and given the BBC a time period to a subscription move ending the charter early as a result of the obvious bias.
But no the cowardice which lies at the heart of the Tory party continues and deepens and instead of doing what is right, because they’re scared of the BBC they will pander to them and probably renew the charter.

Boston Murder.
Although there’s no confirmation of who the murderer might be, it appears the victim was Lithuanian. I’ve noticed that Lithuanian and Latvian men are involved with a lot of knife crimes in Britain. There does seem to be a knife culture with them.
It’s notable that after the Nazi Invasion there was a great deal of ultra Violence against the Jews in those countries.
Actually it seems to have shot back up the news websites again .. Very unusually calling the girl Lithuanian and not ‘local’ .. Perhaps the media is thinking it will be a British man stabbing the Lithuanian which of course if so they would then let run at the top of the news pages for months …
Note how many times the word ” community ” is mentioned on BBC website … we all know what that means .. Only non British places have ” communities”
shocking how it has become necessary to read between the lines of what is being said by the media just as they had to in previous oppresive Socialist countries such as Nazi Germany or the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST republics
Thoughtful – yes I agree – those behind the iron curtain often talked about having to decode ‘news content ‘ / propaganda – and we are now in the same place – the art is also in the omission – which is more of a challenge – then ‘prominence ‘ of an event and how quickly it ‘non – storied ‘ …

Farewell to James Lovelock (1919-2022)
By Matt Ridley
The death of James Lovelock on his 103rd birthday brings to an end one of the most original lives this planet has seen. He never wasted a moment on conventional thinking. His secret? I suspect it was his avoidance of being an employee for almost all his life. Though a Companion of Honour and a fellow of the Royal Society, he was never part of the establishment.
In 2010 he expressed this mindset with characteristic verve: “Science, pre-1960s, was largely vocational. Back when I was young, I didn’t want to do anything other than be a scientist. They’re not like that nowadays. They go to these mass-produced universities. They say: ‘Science is a good career. You can get a job for life doing government work.’ That’s no way to do science.”
Mr Lovelock’s goddess Gaia is a hero to extreme greens. So it was with shock that they learnt that he disagreed with a lot of green stuff. He told The Guardian in 2016 that trying to heat your home with biomass was expensive and dirty, fracking for shale gas made sense, nuclear power was essential, and computer models of the climate were not reliable. And of the green movement, he said: “Well, it’s a religion. It’s totally unscientific.”
He went on: “I’m afraid the thing gets exaggerated out of all proportion, and the greens have behaved deplorably instead of being reasonably sensible.”
He then went on to tell his startled interviewer that by the end of this century, robots will have taken over and they will have a rather different view of planetary affairs. He gave a splendid answer to a question about what the robots will think about climate change: “They could accommodate infinitely greater climate change than we can. It’s what the world can stand that is the important thing. They’re going to have a safe platform to live in, so they don’t want Gaia messed about too much.”
We have lost a unique and truly independent mind.

I doubt the BBC have noticed. It was HOT for a three whole days last week. It was all blamed on global warming. Strangely Lovelock was ignored by the left wing press as he did not confirm the dire prediction he himself predicted as a Scientist.
For the left, he no longer served the Communal Socialist cause of ‘apocalypse now’ comrades or the quick-rich DAVOS globalists profiting from same scare.
RIP James Lovelock.
Yes – he influenced a Right Wing anti green crap pro oil simpleton like me – and his changing views must have been a proper nose bleed for those green totalitarians which now infest us …
Who’s trolling who ?
As ever “PROJECTION is a libmob characteristic”
Aidan McGiven Met Office Meteorologist was super active on Twitter
Firing off an 8 tweet thread ..then a silent correction .. then a pushback

50 hours later he tried to get back momentum
“, the main point stands – this side-by-side comparison, which uses an isolated tweet from 2016, is used to misrepresent what our forecasts look like ”
(that is true)
Just a we should be careful about shouting gotcha !
the alarmists shouting “gotcha those side by side graphs are false” should also be careful

UK heatwave: Weather forecasters report unprecedented trolling
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62323048
It seems people didn’t like the 4 days of hot weather being used as a vehicle to push the climate change agenda through the roof.
Now the BBC are doing what they always do on such occasions : going after the people who disagree and attempting to discedit them with labels.
Here’s what the BBC class as trolling which is so extreme, it warrants being used in a headline news article:
‘Oh please.You were obviously never around in 1975/76. get a grip. This will not last. It will be back to freezing soon’.
Then they fact check some claim I never even heard as if to prove they were right. I’ve realised why their ‘reality check’ team always fact-check bizarre sideline things : it’s because they only pick things which can be proved in a way which matches the agenda.
And I’ve also noticed another trick they do : when a twitter comment is by a Left-wing activist, we get a link to the tweet so we can have a look at all their other posts. When it’s by someone the BBC don’t like, we get a screen capture so we can’t go see what else was said.
Another way they lie.
Shame they didn’t open a HYS on it : I could have asked about if the BBC considers itself to be shameless hypocrites by employing it’s own trolls like maxi. I reckon that comment would last about 5 minutes before they pro-actively deleted it.

Ukraine war: UN and Red Cross should investigate prison deaths, says Ukraine
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62356211
Ukraine says the site was targeted by Russia in an effort to destroy evidence of torture and killing. President Volodymyr Zelensky described the incident as a “deliberate Russian war crime.”
For its part, Russia said the camp was hit by Ukrainian precision rockets.
Ukraine’s new Prosecutor-General Andriy Kostin earlier said he had opened a war crimes investigation into the blast.
No doubt from the BBC message here : Russia did it.
So as I was researching it, I was looking where it is on the map. It’s quite near the front line in an area the Russians have held for a long time. It occurred to me, why would the Russians do such a thing so close to the front ?. They are in no danger of being overrun, so why the desperation to destroy ‘evidence of torture and killing’ in such a manner ?. Surely they would quietly ship all the prisoners into the depths of the country if they wanted to murder them ?.
Time will tell what happened here but I don’t trust the Ukraines a great deal more than I trust the Russians. I could well believe the Russians might have been using the prison for military reasons with the prisoners as a ‘human shield’ and Ukraine hit it anyway. Particularly if it was full of useless mercenaries on £1,500 a day.
Watching the progress of the war, there is a lot more going on than that prison. It seems the war is getting very viscious and I’m 100% certain there are ‘war crimes’ aplenty by both sides.
Which means the propaganda level will probably crank up another notch until everybody really, really hates Russia and supports the next level of military action by the West.
I for one do not believe Russia has aspirations beyond Ukraine and I’m not sure Ukraine is worth the price we are eventually going to pay. And I’m extremely suspicious about how nobody is trying to stop it through negotiation. Quite the opposite in fact : Biden (with Boris in his pocket) have said some things which cannot be unsaid – particularly Bidens slip about telling us the target being regime change in Russia.
Anyway, back to digging the bunker …
‘Alex Belfield tells trial he is victim of BBC witch-hunt’
Would have been worded differently if the agenda suited:
‘I was the victim of a BBC witch-hunt says Alex Belfield at his trial.’
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-62339437
You can always tell when the BBC don’t like what they have to write about. This one contains 7 ‘but’s and 5 ‘however’s and they’ve chosen the worst picture of Alex they could get – like they did for Trump.
