Trivia – but important to many . The BBC has decided to stop doing the football results on Saturday evenings – a ‘tradition ‘ going back to the 1950s . A ritual for many – but something too big for the schedule ‘according to BBC sport . For those of us looking for any way to diminish and destroy the Far Left Anti British BBC – it is good news . Keep up that self destruction please BBC….

Water crisis ? pick a random Yorkshire place
and look at the long range forecast
Skipton lots of rain next week
The myth that the utility companies don’t build new infrastructure & instead just give all the money away in dividends
Yorkshire Water have already built a grid
Anglian are on with a 150 mile pipeline from Elsham all the way to Colchester
& have 2 reservoir plans set for planning permission
their current grid has plenty of water.
Lot’s of people like MSM and political people love scaremongering
Stew – thanks – it says something about ‘project fear ‘ than anything which could be construed as ‘ good news’ just isn’t mentioned .
It doesn’t fit the narrative of panic ….
Another narrative left unspoken is that during and after the 1976 drought, ‘experts’ on the BBC frequently assured us that northern European agriculture would undergo permanent and radical change.
The summer of 1977 was one of the coldest on record with rainfall so heavy and continuous many crops were incapable of being harvested and left to rot in the fields.
Why is it that nobody seems available to make the comparison? Is nearly 50 years too far in the past to count? And yet other droughts in the 1930s seem to be perfectly suitable examples.
As I write, another talking head is assuring us that the current high temperatures will continue – without confirming ‘until all life is extinct’ but that seems to be the underlying hope.
And has the question of Immigartion really been tackled during these past weeks with or without the two contenders for the postion of Prime Minister? No, it has not because the whole issue is just appalling.
Afghan refugees housed in hotels have refused moves to Scotland and Wales because they believe the countries are too cold and don’t speak English, it has emerged.
Around 9,500 Afghans and their families evacuated from Kabul after the Taliban takeover of the country are still being housed in hotels a year on, at a cost of about £1 million a day.
This comes on top of the £3 million-a-day taxpayers’ bill for hotels for 26,000 asylum seekers including Channel migrants.
About 7,000 Afghan refugees have received permanent accommodation through councils but Home Office officials have yet to find appropriate housing for the remaining 9,500 evacuees.
Some have refused accommodation with reasons including that they do not want to go to Scotland or Wales because they believe they don’t speak the language and the countries are cold, according to sources.
Housing a ‘complex process’Officials are understood to be “working hard” to break down misconceptions about life outside the south-east of England but admit that refugees coming to the country see the UK through the prism of London.
About 350 councils have signed up to house Afghan refugees but officials said it was a complex process, particularly given the larger size of many families.
Lord Harrington, the refugees minister, has appealed to councils to help get people out of hotels and into housing.
For goodness sake there NOT enough for the Indigenous peoples of this nation who should be first in line, let alone others from outside Europe.
About 350 councils have signed up to house Afghan refugees but officials said it was a complex process, particularly given the larger size of many families.
The numbers that have come and will be striving to land on our shores is overwhelming-what to do? Let it be known that all those who have not made proper applicaton to gain entry to the UK be returned to the North African Coast and or to other Co-Religionist nations where the climate is warmer. If not the UK will be swamped mainly with those that follow the teachings of Islam and certainly that situation will bring about Islamic control-a very nasty thought that is almost upon us.
R$ jut had a show about rape
Seemed to a lefty feminist saying it a problem of ALL MEN and a cultural PATRIACHY
I search the tweets sent to Radio4
They seem to be about the rapes R4 doesn’t mention
So this Amjad Ditta was part of a big Pakistani child rape gang, in 2020 the case was posponed, what is going on, why is this case not sorted by now, someone in power should be kicking arses about this?
‘Oh look we tried to indoctrinate kids with BBC propaganda

In pictures: Sturgeon moon over Scotland
Not the News of the World, nope the BBC.
A (mental) image I didn’t want.
BBC, known as a Harvest Moon south of the border because, in the good old bad old days to which the environmentalists and climate alarmists will have us back in shortly, if farmers were behind with harvesting for example because of rain ho-ho, they could catch up with their outstanding work on a dry day with a full ‘harvest moon’ enabling work after dusk.
Krankie was known as seaweed at college because not even the tide would take her out.
A vile, racist creature full of hate. Like much of the BBC now I think about it.

I see that the BBC require the city with the winning bid to host Eurovision to have ‘alignment with the BBC’s strategic priorities as a public service broadcaster’.
Is that a little unwritten rule they have let slip out there?
I suspect that’s one of the criteria they use to judge all potential partners, people and businesses before working with them. Very sinister.

Very BBC.

Yolande Knell said Israel claims that PIJ were responsible for the killing of “multiple children in Jabalia” and that “The BBC has not been able to independently verify this claim.” but we still don’t know why not.
Was she being intimidated? She always seems genuinely sympathetic to Hamas, but maybe that’s par for the course if you want to stay alive. Or maybe the BBC simply doesn’t have an appetite for verifying anything said by Israel. The ambiguity in that cryptic sentence could mean anything.

Keeping things vague suits the new form of journalism that matches the new form of democracy being touted by… the MSM.
Trump is bang to rights, because ‘people close to the investigation’ have said so.
The SAS went on a killing spree because the kindly old gent in the mud hut told soem ex folk who told the ditzy blonde.

Imperial have done a long thread about The London air pollution claimed death prog on BBC radio4
Firstly is that graphic really representative of current London air ?
I thought smog had gone
Secondly did they pick black London presenter, cos it’s a black London issue ?
In December 2020 Southwark Coroner’s Court found that air pollution “made a material contribution” to the death of Ella Kiss-Debrah. Ella died in February 2013 at the age of nine after over two years of severe asthma attacks and cardiac arrests that led to multiple hospital visits.
Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, Ella’s mother, spent seven years after her daughter’s death trying to find the answers as to why her previously healthy child had suddenly become so gravely ill. An initial inquest found no connection to air pollution and at no point was air pollution mentioned as a potential factor in the time that Ella was ill.
Eddie Nestor speaks to Rosamund and the key people involved in fighting for a second inquest and ultimately setting this hugely significant legal precedent.
We also explore what comes next.
How could the law be changed to reduce our exposure to invisible pollutants?
What can government at all levels do to make the air we breathe less toxic?
Is pressure from the public necessary to make drastic change happen?
There are some people who, just by talking can turn you against them.
Third in my list is far left nicola sturgeon, no explanation needed there.
Second is the almost ever present on GBN news as guest, far left Nigel Nelson who was just on grinning ear to ear as he was saying that Trump is finished.
First most irritating is that extreme far left Steve Valdez Symonds who talks to everyone in such a condescending manner as if talking to a naughty 4 year old.
Three channel changers when they appear on my tv.
Just going to treat myself to some new specs as these are not the right prescription any longer and I can’t focus to watch a film if I have had some beer.
So I went to the last place I used and to my dismay, it appears they are not doing specs for white males any longer.

Will this ‘race replacement’ ever end ?.
Email them and ask why they are being racist.
A man has stabbed Salmon Rushdie in the neck as he was about to give a lecture in NY State.
Why do these men always stab in the neck? Beheading?
BBC News covers the story with a long interview with a man who was sitting in the 14th row. This man has strong beliefs in diversity and interfaithyness, and it was clear that he was trying to cool off any hostility or blame towards the moslems
A bit of stabby stabby after a few decades rather illustrates cooling off is not really a thing in certain cultural mindsets.
The stabber can’t have been a real Muslim because, as we all know, Islam is a religion of peace. Typical of the BBC to misdirect listeners.
As to why the neck was chosen, see Qur’an 47:4 = “when you meet the kuffar, strike their necks”.
It will disappear without trace from the BBC news site by tomorrow.
Never forget just how much the BBC defend these savages simply because they are useful as victims against the Right.
It’s one of the main reasons the hypocrite Left disgust me so much. They will turn a blind eye to anything at all when it suits them. No matter how abhorrent it is. They don’t care. The agenda is all that matters.
The truth. At last! Its all bollocks!
The tyranny of Justin Trudeau has finally been exposed – and by two Brits, no less…
A lawsuit has shown Canada’s travel vaccine mandate had little to do with science and everything to do with politics.
…(edited)
Trudeau always maintained his government’s Covid policies were based on the science and the latest evidence. Yet, his shifting rhetoric, before and after his election call, tells a different tale. Thanks to a civil lawsuit against the travel mandate by two British immigrants, we’ve now seen inside the guts of part of Trudeau’s Covid machinery, and it’s become abundantly clear that it has little if anything to do with science and everything to do with politics.
….
The tale of Trudeau’s vaccine mandates has ramifications far outside Canada. The world over, governments have invoked draconian powers, heretofore only used in wartime, to control and regulate their people and curtain fundamental individual liberties, such as the right to gather or the right to mobility. Everywhere, people are told by their governments, much as Trudeau told Canadians, we’re so sorry, we hate to restrict your freedoms, but we’re just following the science and the evidence. We know, in the case of Canada’s travel mandate, that this is simply false. In the Canadian case, Trudeau’s ministers have made it clear that the suspended mandates could come back, as, indeed, could Covid-based restrictions the world over.
Thanks to two British immigrants, we now know how the Covid policy sausage is made in Canada, and it isn’t pretty.

Fully supported by the BBC at the time (ridiculing Canadian Truck Drivers as all Trumps supporters) and an example for the Canadian example to follow (against BORIS more bumbling hands off policy).
Another liberal lefty stronghold was New Zealand that volunteered for the full WHO dosage – even arresting NZ aborigine’s for refusing a dose of vax. The liberal left are worse than Stalin when they think they have an advantage to rule the world. Now we know its all ‘political’ WHO scare mongering to ‘save-the-planet’.
Another example of Agenda 21 climate change agenda in action. A long lost list of – ‘countdown’ examples to save-the-planet (which the BBC claim as lost opportunity for global socialism) can be see here: All of its bollocks.

And what is worse is that Doctors were forced to accept the vaccine from Pfizer. It was never tested!
How can this happen without MEDIA instance and dire prediction by the BBC ‘deaths with COVID’ etc.
EXCLUSIVE TO DOCTORS FOR COVID ETHICS: A second Freedom of Information request seeking regulatory transparency has revealed that the UK medical regulator never inspected Pfizer’s COVID-19 clinical trial data, joining the Australian regulator in rubber-stamping Pfizer’s vaccine.

A minor point “NZ aborigine’s”
Maoris are not native to New Zealand, they came from Polynesia 800 years ago
before the NZ had no land mammals at all.
The struggle… is real.

Everyone, from Vile to VD, will feel his pain.
Please watch this. It’s only a couple of minutes but so perfectly encapsulates the man’s delusions, you might almost think he’s being satirical.
No wonder his beard is brown.
I’m sure jobs that replicate stuff you do down the pub ; – discussion, – is harder than real graft .
Oh how I hate that slimy Jaffa, I couldnt stand to listen to him.
ITV newsPR drought porn
Misleading with their scripted opening
“A drought has been officially announced
It’s the driest year on record in LINCOLNSHIRE
.. there’ll be a hosepipe ban in YORKSHIRE ”
.. the truth is Lincolnshire has plenty of water
and Yorkshire Water had had to announce a hosepipe ban now, even though rain will soon come.
Cos the law is they have to gove two weeks notice so it begins on 20 August.
Even if the rain is of low quantity
you’ll still be able to water your plant, by taking them down to the local migrant carwash, cos the authorities probably will be afraid of applying the law to them
The BBC report that Salman Rushdie has been stabbed in the neck.
Yet despite there being many witnesses, one of whom is interviewed, plus some video and pictures, the BBC manage to tell us nothing about the characteristics of the perpetrator. And to be fair, most of the MSM seem equally reticent. One senses collusion.
Anyone would think that there were some inconvenient truths to keep away from the public.
BBC have put up a 9min YouTube
and left comments open
… https://youtu.be/RKTs0Ra9piM
YouTube has ghosted the top rating comment to 20 comments down it mentioned “peaceful people”
I’m sure the BBC will soon be publishing extracts from The Satanic Verses, in support of free speach.
Maybe the part where Mahound’s (Muhammad’s) child bride is playing on her swing and is told it’s time to consummate the marriage.
Also yesterday in Pakistan
\\ A 62-year-old Ahmadi man was stabbed to death in Rabwah after he refused to “chant slogans in praise of Khadim Rizvi”,
claims spokesperson for Jamaat Ahmadiyya in Pakistan.
He says the attacker, a 27-year-old man .. was arrested on the spot //
The BBC local NewsPR toned down the drought porn
by airing footage of 1976 and pointing out it was a worse situation.
Then to the enviro-activist reporter live by the banks of the Humber Estuary
another #UnnecessaryOutsideBroadcast
cos the river their is tidal so shows no sign of low level
BBC going on about no new reservoirs being built since 1976/1986 .
Could it be because at that time the population of the country was actually DECLINING?
So no new reservoirs were needed .
And now that the likes of the BBC are admitting that the Southeast has had a huge influx ( of immigrants) ,
Will they acknowledge that huge waves of immigration means the immigrants cannot pay their way because we need to increase the infrastructure of the country before they invade .
The BBC love a good soak. They like to live well and they must consume lots of water for the Garden home(s) Swimming Pools, Jacuzzi(s) and hot tub sauna(s). Its thirsty work producing propaganda to save the planet.
But I was wandering what The Romans did for water in the UK?, and the answer is in last weeks Spectator magazine in a good piece of history by Peter Jones, who outlines what the Romans did (unlike the current BBC overlords blaming the weather and (false) CO2 emissions.
The Romans at the time grew Grapes up North in Yorkshire. It was hotter Summers then, not that BBC do history that much if it goes against EU/UN/IPCC doctrine and in built socialism quest.
But we can thank the Romans for some very clever UK waterways! , which we have relied on ever since. We need a new UK national grid cZAR for water, that means canals and viaducts from North to South. Sod the BBC. The facts are the Romans had a czar to deliver water and build viaducts and it worked… Even the marshes were managed.
We all need water. We need a water czar.. (read on) Get the Water Board to build it, I say.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/do-we-need-a-roman-style-water-czar
Just out of interest, how many readers use a hosepipe regularly for say 10-15 minutes a time, several days a week ?
Personally a hose pipe ban will have little if any effect on my life. Mrs S waters the plants with a watering can, as per normal. I wash the car about three times a year. We clean the patio about once every two years, usually early Spring, not in August.
Yet the BBC report imminent hosepipe bans as if a meteorite is about to hit the Earth and the end of the world is nigh.
Another example of their doom-and-gloom seditious narrative to add to many others.
I noticed a known Loony Lefty walking past my house with his girlfriend this afternoon, he said something and pointed at our house.
Three hours later I realised what he was pointing at, we have a coiled hosepipe for the plants in hot weather.
We are up North, no hosepipe ban.
BBC London feature the increasing use of Food banks.
Agenda, agenda.
Two female ‘Londoners’ are interviewed about their reliance on the goodwill of the food bank.
They are both wearing…ahem…..’traditional’ dress and neither of them speak English without difficulty.
It’s another triumph of multicultural mass immigration.
Feed the World. Did Bob Geldof imagine the truth of his campaign?
LeoKearse on Rushdie situation
Seems both Yusuf Islam (Cat stevens) & the BBC will be pleased that the ayatollah finally got his man.
Frank Gardner says “Together with the Bosnian War that followed a few years later, the Rushdie affair helped ignite the spark of modern-day violent jihad.”
“The Muzzies are the men that will not be blamed for nothing” as Jack the Ripper nearly said
Is Cat Stevens guilty of “speciesism” by reason of his former name?
Ok – I’m old – I’m out of touch . But I remember when winning the Eurovision Song Contest meant something – but now ?
It just seems an excuse for transmission of monkey pox .
But the BBC has been playing the theme tune in all those news bulletins – I kind got the impression that the BBC has a surrogate EU – in Eurovision …
But then again I’ve not seen it for donkeys but understand it’s a camp fest …
Suppose Rushdie was lucky to be stabbed in NY – if it had been here the 999 call would have been put on hold because of the weather ….
Recall parliament – a Muslim attempted assassination terrorist attack … Corbyn and his crew ready to condemn his ‘friends ‘… or maybe silence …
Once upon a time when the msm gets in a froth over rising bills the government would leak something about help for hardworking families and the vulnerable –
-but because of the absence of a cabinet all there is now is general words by the outgoing PM who is probably spending his publishing advance …
I think it might be a busy weekend thread .. starts now
Given that footballers like to show solidarity with people attacked in the USA can we assume they will ‘take the book’ and read for a few seconds immediately before the kick off at Premier League matches this season?
Assuming they can read,
