And you missed out that the two leading members of the weathermen – both Jewish had a son called Chesa Boudin who has been given extraordinary priveleges in his life and is now the DA in San Fransisco California which he is busy destroying.
His mother on being released from prison was almost instantly offered a professorship at one of the usual far Left CCP inspired universities.
Here’s one from DT for the BBC fact checker to get her ego into –
STARTS
The BBC’s chair used an offshore Cayman Islands company to invest in a crypto business founded by a now sanction-hit Russian oligarch.
Richard Sharp was an early investor in Atomyze, a Swiss blockchain business established by the oligarch Vladimir Potanin. Also known as the “Nickel King”, Potanin has played ice hockey with Vladimir Putin and was one of the oligarchs summoned to the Kremlin when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Potanin was hit with sanctions by the UK government in June as part of a crackdown on “Putin’s inner circle”. The Foreign Office said the oligarch – once considered Russia’s richest man – was targeted because he “continues to amass wealth as he supports Putin’s regime”.
It is unclear how the Russian ended up in business with Sharp, a former Goldman Sachs banker and Conservative party donor who was appointed as chair of the BBC by Boris Johnson’s government.
Sharp’s previously unreported investment in the oligarch’s Atomyze crypto business was made in 2019 through a Cayman Islands company called ABCP GP Ltd. The Cayman Islands are an offshore tax haven known for publishing limited financial documents on who owns businesses.
Atomyze uses blockchain technology to trade commodities, especially metals produced by Potanin’s Nornickel company, which dominates the global market for nickel.
The future BBC chair subsequently became a company director of Atomyze for two months. Although Sharp has since stepped down from this role, Swiss corporate filings show an individual who works for Sharp’s personal investment office continues to sit on the board of directors.
There is no suggestion Sharp has breached any of the recently introduced UK government sanctions, which would prevent ongoing financial dealings with Potanin or his businesses.
Sharp was appointed BBC chair after previously giving hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Conservative party. His lengthy career in the City of London included a successful stint as a Goldman Sachs banker – where a young Rishi Sunak worked for him – before he moved into private investments and took senior roles in the British arts scene.
His personal wealth is such that he donates his £160,000-a-year salary for the part-time BBC job to charity.
Sharp, along with the BBC director general, Tim Davie, and a number of prominent BBC journalists, has been banned by the Russian government from travelling to the country since the invasion of Ukraine due to the British broadcaster’s coverage of the conflict.
A spokesperson for Sharp’s investment trust said he had “a longstanding interest in a range of emerging technology companies”. They emphasised that no sanctions had been imposed on Potanin when Sharp invested in the oligarch’s company, which is regulated by the Swiss authorities.
The spokesperson said Sharp put his investments in a blind trust – an arrangement where financial assets are managed by a third party to avoid conflicts of interests – in May 2020 after being hired as a Treasury adviser by the then chancellor, Sunak.
They added: “The arrangement was maintained after Sharp became chairman of the BBC. This blind trust has professionally managed the ABCP GP Ltd and Atomyze Switzerland interests with complete independence from Mr Sharp and at the trust’s sole discretion since its establishment.
“At the current time, the blind trust, and therefore Mr Sharp, have no financial or directorial interests in any businesses owned and controlled by Mr Potanin.”ENDS
A quick check of prominent UK pols in order I feel…
We don’t get to hear much about the BBC’s climate virtue either…
Not required. The sun shines internally via the collective fundaments.
Ah, there’s an easy explanation for that. Many of these type of people choose beachside properties, which as we all know are About To Be Submerged With Rising Sea Levels Within a Few Years ™. The spray from the sea might land on any solar panels, making them look a bit shabby.

Uh huh.
£14 a ticket – £10 for a selfie with our Justin – autograph £5 – post £10 – Justin toy £10 – ‘I’ve met our Justin ‘ t shirt just £25..
Some of these souvenirs may be made up … pay to ‘our Justin enterprises PLC’ Cayman Islands …
Reading tomorrow’s fish and chip wrapper earlier this evening, I noted that Victoria (do you know my husband?) Beckam’s fashion empire is in debt to the tune of £54,000,000. She is blaming it on covid. FFS someone ought to tell her that her clothing is absolutely dire. If I was a tyranny I wouldn’t wear it.
You can take an Essex girl out of Barkingside but you can’t ….der der der
Northern
But, but, but it says ‘that the Victoria Beckham fashion brand has developed a distinctive and modern language of clothing. Bold, intuitive and refined, its wardrobe of apparel and accessories is now stocked in over 400 stores in over 50 countries internationally’. It’s only £400 a jumper. And you’re buying the name. OK well I tried.
Perhaps David might have to get his boots out of the loft…. or maybe not
The BBC is repeating documentaries by a dead Australian – Clive James …
As I watched it I wondered how he could go to parisistan and make a documentary now – complete with a cartoon of the false prophet – no go areas – stabbed priests – torched churches and cathedrals – the third world plotting to get to England …
And the prize for the most stupid woke tv commercial this week goes to da-da…. Birds eye green quisine …..
Black cartoon child admonishing black cartoon mummy because she isn’t buying cardboard false chicken portions made out of mung beans or something.
A perfect meeting of race/green/vegan propaganda issues in 30 seconds.
It’s getting crazy and desperate. I hope they all crash and burn!
Now how’s that roast beef doing, smells great!
Some good news… The crisis is nearly over according to the Beeb. ‘UK heatwave crisis: Final day of ‘extreme’ heat with thunder on way’. Ok I added the word crisis, but I’m sure it was along with all the other crises I have to daily deal with. Crisis defined as ‘a time of intense difficulty and danger’.
I can’t be doing without a crisis or two each day. Fuel, Energy, Cost of living, Food bank, Colonial Legacy of Homophobia, Manchester United etc. It makes life worth living.
Agree concrete, my life would be so much more boring without the BBC telling me my lifestyle is causing the planet to implode or my quid will be worth about 10p next week if we don’t kick the Tories out and put that nice strong Mr Starmer in charge who will personally give all public sector workers a house in Knightsbridge and a pension from 30 years of age plus a retreat in the Algarve.
Also we could then set about lynching parties for anyone having an ancestor remotely connected to the Empire. Plus just as a precursor to shipping all white peoples to Stoke on Trent and thus releasing their housing for the geniuses and experts who are flooding into this land on rubber boats.
If only we could watch programs that mock the BBC and Islam the way that, for the last 50 years, we have been free to watch programs that openly mock British traditions.
Big success for the 6pm BBC news progs
Once again they managed to minimise the presence of whit male journos
The national anchor was Mishaal Hussain with black guy Nesta doing the sports
All correspondents seemed female except Philip Norton did a train story
Both national and local weather forecasters were white females
The local anchor was white female and the ON reporter was too
Ended with unnecessary PR piece about a Linc windfarm that hasn’t even got permission yet
and won’t deliver until 2030.
Around 80 years ago a bloke in Germany decided that the World would be much better if he ruled it. He set about surrounding himself with henchmen and via propaganda and brutality set about cancelling anyone he didn’t like.
Luckily quite a few of the people who didn’t fit into his plan rose up and gave him a bloody nose.
Now we have a powerful organisation in this Country that has decided to use the same tactics. Suppress those they don’t like using useful fools, stigmatise dissenters as uneducated fools, use lies and fabrications (using minority groups and grudge zealots) and try to take control of the nations way of life with themselves at the top of the tree.
I think you will tumble to who I refer and Hopefully it will come to the same end.

@SkyNews @BBCNews will you have physicist and electrical engineer @catandman Brian Catt on to discuss the other side of climate debate?
If not, what are you afraid of ?
libmob angrily shout in the replies that Catt should be banned for not siding with their dogma
Another good reason to vote for and support The Reform Party.

WATCH: Kirkcaldy streets left flooded after torrential downpour
https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3592780/watch-kirkcaldy-streets-left-flooded-after-torrential-downpour
The hottest, longest, sunniest, drought, heat wave ever ever according to the Beeb and now we’re getting floods. All of this before the usual UK expected ice age due end of September/early October. I don’t know whether to buy more sun tan lotion, build an ark or an igloo and demand someone insulate my house with the finest alpaca wool.
Cs, if you see a chap called Noah on the way to buy gopher wood at B&Q* that should decide for you.
* Other timber suppliers are available.
Stew, I have passed several gridded drain covers where people have discarded rubbish. In one case it was a metal drinks can, in another it was a card drinks carton from a well-known hamburger chain. I hope the good people of Kircaldy are not that stupid.
Discarded facemasks? Head down, am looking like I might achieve a triple century: Graham Gooch watch out. I’m up to 220.

“‘It’s all in bl**dy Welsh!’ Drivers furious as car parking machine sparks 30-MINUTE queues
A WELSH-SPEAKING parking machine has caused huge queues after drivers couldn’t understand, or change, the language.
The machine in Rhyl, Denbighshire, Wales is for an underground car park – motorists said that the instructions were in Welsh, which approximately only one in three people in Wales speaks. Drivers were frustrated when they could not understand the instructions to pay for parking.
However, Denbighshire council said that all of its parking machines, while set to Welsh by default, should have a way to switch the language to English.”
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1655544/welsh-speaking-car-parking-machine-queues-wales
“Welsh by default” FFS WHY???
In Wales, around 29 percent of the population speaks Welsh, although this number is growing, according to the Welsh Government.
The news comes as landlords buying property in Welsh-speaking communities may have to provide documentation that they can also speak the language under the proposed “Fair Chance” scheme.
What about insisting that property owners in Luton and Bradford must be able to speak English ?
Cognitive labour edition
Top of the BBC Pops – topping the charts, so to speak – in their online press line up is the habitually coronaphobic ‘i’ newspaper: New Omicron jab to fight autumn Covid wave – because of course, just like day follows night and floods follow droughts – our experts can predict these things…
The Telegraph comes over vaguely proud and patriotic: UK is first to approve omicron-specific jab
As does the Daily Express (United with the people of Ukraine – on the masthead and: 50% off your favourite newspapers… new subscribers only – is the offer. One couldn’t find a recent figure but as of 1st June Russia had apparently taken 20% off Nato’s favourite new ally) I digress: Britain first with covid varient booster
And in flag-waving mood almost as fervent as when a local ladies football team won a trophy, our BBC says: Covid: UK first country to approve dual-strain vaccine – note the similarity of wording in the next one…
Naturally there’s no UK or Britain-specific reflected glory in the Guardian headline – and, as per usual, the left is obsessed with managerial process: Dual-strain Covid jab approved for booster
Whilst the formerly patriotic Times makes it sound as though it’s compulsory: Over-50s to be called for new Covid jab in weeks – I promise that’s the last word, your last headline on the subject this morning – although, a profitable big new industry with many stakeholders, managers and employees having been created, one very much doubts that’s the last annual booster of some form or another you’ll be called for.
Riddle me a riddle – sounds like the sort of thing Batman’s enemy The Riddler would say. One learns that comic book character’s real name was Edward Nygma (careful now) – so riddle me this: Afghanistan shows why we have to be woke Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (‘i’)
George Orwell imagined the Junior Anti-Sex League. In something of a perversion (so to speak) of his dystopia, it is in fact the grown up women in our broadsheets busily campaigning against marriage: Will this TV drama put you off marriage? (Times); Why I’ve taken a marriage sabatical Celia Walden explains why all married couples should try six weeks apart (Telegraph) – I know, two features, even on the same day, even from supposedly conservative right-leaning titles, is just an unhappy coincidence…
‘The woman’s to-do list is relentless’ – complains a Guardian feature: …the burden of cognitive labour – remembering birthdays, organising play dates – which disproportionately falls to women in heterosexual relationships, and it is exhausting – Nag, nag, nag – I jest of course. I may not be up there with the likes of Jerry Sadowitz but remember there’s something of a performative character when Mr AsISeeIt takes to the stage hereabouts.
Jerry Sadowitz hits back after show cancelled: ‘My act is being cheapened’ Comedian says his show ‘is what it is, for those who enjoy it,’ after complaints at Edinburgh fringe (Guardian)
But why worry, as the left are always keen to reassure us, there’s no such thing as cancel culture.
The Graun loves a bit of Edinburgh Festival: The G2 Edinburgh special The stars, the shows – and the best jokes – however, there’s something of an equivocal note from our Nish: Nish Kumar I love the fringe, but now it’s time for change
Oh the irony: The Kenya-born British comedian Njambi McGrath, performing at the Pleasance, argues that deep political turmoil will still fuel good comedy. Rishi Sunak’s suggestion that unpatriotic rhetoric should be policed can only throw another log on the fire, she believes.
“The more severe a government, the more hilarious satire becomes. It can only thrive inside rooms away from the interfering hands of government,” she said. “After all, banning comedy simply rubber stamps the ridicule. Banning satire is the last door from democracy and first into autocracy.” (Guardian, 7th August)
If you want a bit of a laugh – without anyone having to wave his male member about – take a look at the knots in which these Guardianistas are oblidged to tie themselves – just to keep on the right side of the latest wokist trends: In same-sex relationships, domestic labour is more equal, “but can still fall back into those roles”, says Mangino (she talks about male and female roles, drawn from traditional gendered divides, rather than men and women). – eh? Riddle me a riddle indeed.
Speaking of Labour… cognitive or otherwise…
Starmer says government ‘just not good enough’ on cost of living crisis as he defends plan to freeze energy bills (Guardian) – Oh dear, as we know the journalese weasel word editorialisation ‘defends‘ is a passive aggressive damnation.
What about the workers?
Starmer fails to back bar strike… – don’t worry, we’ll still be able to turn to drink whatever the next crisis – work is still the bane of the drinking classes: Climate could uncork great British reds (Times)
Sir Keir Starmer QC today declined to express unqualified support for striking barristers (a rare forensic appearance hereabouts in this kangaroo court of public opinion for The Law Society Gazette)
