Hmmmmm…
”How can I sue the BBC, it’s like suing Britain!’ Sir Cliff Richard says he was nearly too patriotic to take corporation to court over filming of raid on his house.’
No…no…no…the BBC does not in the slightest represent ‘Britain’…the complete opposite in fact….it is more representative of Swapo…a Marxist Black terror group than of Britain.

Chip shops face ‘extinction’ amid cost of living crisis

…
Extinction occurs when species are diminished because of environmental forces such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, natural disaster, overexploitation by humans, and pollution, or because of evolutionary changes in their members (genetic inbreeding, poor reproduction, decline in population numbers).1 Aug 2022
Panic buying potatoes and frozen chips tomorrow.
Remember when The Hill was a main source for Sopes, BS, Katty, Lurch and Nick?
Seems they taught them stuff too.
Ticks up – goes positive….
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha!
Personally, I think all the MP’s should resign including the Lords before any select few take the country into any more disorder with their reckless behaviour. Its time the public took control in the absence of any control by so-called, ‘elected’ politicians. They have proven over and over again they are incapable of leadership. It has to stop. Quickly.

Those plucky Ukrainians eh
Yes Flotsam.
There are very many of us up here who would salute the withdrawal of British Passports from every SNP politician as a a prelude to their subsequent transportation to Rwanda.
Yes, the rubbish piling up in Edinburgh is an embarrassment, a bloody disgrace. Yes, I agree Sturgeon and the SNP are utterly incompetent at dealing with everyday matters. But on this occasion I don’t lay all the blame at Sturgeon’s door. Everyone is starting to behave selfishly. Everybody thinks they are entitled to their previous standard of living and that there is a pot of money somewhere that will sort out their problems. Nobody wants to face up to, never mind accept, the reality that we are all going to get poorer. The binmen don’t care about the image of Edinburgh during festival time. They want money! They are only thinking of themselves. But it’s how we’re all going to be acting sooner or later. Every man for himself. A free-for-all. It’s how human beings behave when things get bad.
This was what many of us warned about two years ago. You cannot shut down the economy, start printing money and putting people on furlough and not expect a very serious rise in inflation and industrial strife further down the road. We knew this would happen (or at least those of us who remember the 1970s did) but we went ahead with these stupid measures anyway.

There is a solution.
Give everybody in the UK a 15% rise.
That’s what the left want.
What could go wrong?
Prince Harry says when every on is made a Prince then we can all end poverty.,
I was in the what the hell are they doing camp. I couldn’t believe it. Even if Covid turned out worse than it did we should have stayed open. There’s going to be a lot more casualties from the stupid Covid policies than came with Covid itself.
As soon as it started, lockdown, no one working, free covid tests, track and trace, free masks everywhere, furlough etc., most people knew we were creating massive debt that will be hard to recover from.
In a nutshell zelazec. I am astounded at how selfish people have become, particularly over the last two years and agree we are going to a dark place where me, me, me will be the norm. Partly explains the hoodlums who just grab what they want using extreme force regardless of the damage caused to others.
It’s going to be a jungle.

BBC 24.9.43
Dear Mr Rushbrooke-Williams,
In confirmation of what I said to you in private, I want to tender my resignation from the BBC, and should be much obliged if you would forward this to the proper quarter.
I believe that in speaking to you I made my reasons clear but I should like to put them on paper lest there should be any mistake. I am not leaving because of any disagreement with BBC policy and still less on account of any kind of grievance. On the contrary I feel that throughout my association with the BBC I have been treated with the greatest generosity and allowed very great latitude. On no occasion have I been compelled to say on the air anything that I would not have said as a private individual. And I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you personally for the very understanding and generous attitude you have always shown towards my work.
I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present.
I do not know how much notice of resignation I am supposed to give. The ‘Observer’ have again raised the project of my going to North Africa. This has to be approved by the War Office and may well fall through again, but I mention it in case I should have to leave at shorter notice than would otherwise be the case. I will in any case see to it that the programmes are arranged for some time ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Blair.

Public taxpayers ‘ money was spent on that nonsense and I bet it did their woks promotion prospects good ….
When you see this stuff – or queer plod embarrassing themselves at monkey pox festivals you can see why the public hasn’t time for them anymore ….

The Merseyside police diversity hires are coming along nicely. They are even hiring cripples with a stick.
Why on earth is it wearing a mask?
Footballer Benjamin Mendy tried to “debate” a woman into having sex after getting her alone at a gathering at his mansion, a court has heard.
In a police interview played to Chester Crown Court, the woman alleged she was raped by the 28-year-old for about “20 seconds” in July 2021.
She said her protests “didn’t faze” the Manchester City player and it was “like arguing with a brick wall”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-62663607
20 seconds…..no wonder he’s managed to have sex with 10,000 women…so claimed….works out at 55.5 hrs…or 2.3 days….lol Sting could make one shag last that long…allegedly.
Targeted man who was shot in Liverpool is Joseph Nee.
Telegraph.
He has skin and it is white. So far we don’t know if the shooter has any skin. But he may still be wearing his dark clothes.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/24/man-targeted-liverpool-shooting-arrested-hospital/
The Americans blasted out rock music when they invaded Panama to torture Noriega into submission….I kind of feel LBC does the same as they blast out O’Brien [ironically the same name as the sinister and deceitful interrogator of 1984]to the world.
I tuned in for my two minutes of hate today[cannot, seriously, listen to anymore of him] and heard him express shock that the government expects schools to fund wage demands out of their budget…just where do they think the money will come from he thunders!!?
Er…is that the same O’Brien who day in day out demands the government cough up money for his latest bee in bonnet project? Where does the ‘government’ money come from? From taxpayers….so alright tax ’em more…to pay public sector wages…oh..hang on…what about all those programmes of his about the cost of living where people can’t heat or eat?! How can they pay more tax? Well…businesses then? They are suffering from high fuel costs etc as well…many going out of business….they pay the wages you want to tax…so their prices go up as their staff ask for rises to pay these new taxes to pay for wage rises for public servants.
This is of course the trouble with the O’Briens of this world….and his narrative is exactly the same as the BBC’s….more ‘government money’ is the answer to everything without saying where that comes from or the complex system that isn’t as simple as the BBC portrays.
Such simplistic hubris and naive, in fact cynical, unicorn demands are made knowingly….they understand the complexity but, shock-jock-like, they hope to spin your emotions and create faux outrage with alarmist and sensationalist lies…and of course generate anti-government [as long as it’s Tory] sentiment.
O’Brien is a corrupt, lying little toerag..but at least he’s on a commercial station….unlike so many fellow travellers we are forced to pay for.
How To Be Right: … in a world gone wrong
Every day, James O’Brien listens to people blaming benefits scroungers, the EU, Muslims, feminists and immigrants. But what makes James’s daily LBC show such essential listening – and has made James a standout social media star – is the careful way he punctures their assumptions and dismantles their arguments live on air, every single morning.
In the bestselling How To Be Right, James provides a hilarious and invigorating guide to talking to people with faulty opinions. With chapters on every lightning-rod issue, James shows how people have been fooled into thinking the way they do, and in each case outlines the key questions to ask to reveal fallacies, inconsistencies and double standards.
If you ever get cornered by ardent Brexiteers, Daily Mail disciples or little England patriots, this book is your conversation survival guide.
‘I have had a ringside seat as a significant swathe of the British population was persuaded that their failures were the fault of foreigners, that unisex lavatories threatened their peace of mind and that ‘all Muslims’ must somehow apologise for terror attacks by extremists. I have tried to dissuade them and sometimes succeeded… The challenge is to distinguish sharply between the people who told lies and the people whose only offence was to believe them.’
– James O’Brien
OOOOOHHH…I can feel myself being triggered just reading that pompous, self-loving crud! LOL…just noticed one of the like-minded lapdog smoke-blowers promotion…Emily Maitlis…says it all really if she promotes it as a good book.
The brilliant David Starkey is destroying the wokie on Dewbs and co.
I bet the BBC couldn’t wait to get rid of Dr Starkey as he is such a powerful communicator.
One of the advantages of limiting exposure to the likes of newsnight / LBC is I don’t know who mr obrian is …..but I guess he fits into the vine type role –
em James O’Brien used to be a BBC Newsnight presenter
That is the type of person they choose to employ.
I think his lefty personna may be an act
and he probably lives in a mansion with a butler
Stew I reckon they ( pharma / gov ) knew there would be thousand having adverse reactions ( dying ) but factored that into what they considered to be ‘the general good ‘….
…. They would not risk overwhelmed hospitals and nightingales so they went for the more ‘acceptable ‘ long covid and deaths of otherwise fit people ….
They also assumed that some press would pick it up sooner or later but project fear worked so well there’d be little ‘outrage ‘ ….
Particularly since they want to go jabbing again ….
The state broadcaster being super compliant for the sake of the licence tax of course ….
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Oh the joys of the financial times comments boards which are in some sections pretty much the same as here!
For instance did you know there is as much scientific evidence that aliens are causing climate change as CO2 is?
Well you might be accused of being a tinfoil hat wearer for believing the alien theory but because the CO2 one is state and media backed you won’t be even though there is actually less evidence than for the other.
So here is a link to the writings of Climatologist and former NASA scientist Dr Roy Spencer – who clearly doesn’t believe aliens are changing our atmosphere but presents the evidence in a comparable way to that of the alarmist climate change proponents:

Joseph nee .. White ?!!!! If so this will be a story that we are reminded of for the next 30 years rather than one to be buried under the carpet .. Though of course we still don’t know about shooter ..
Happy Days.
In that case Emily we should scrap the BBC shouldn`t we ?
Are you up for that ?
Mad Cow Disease.
This is HuGE.
Sorely missed.
A big issue with Liverpool/Merseyside is that the prevailing culture is deeply anti Establishment. They wrongly believe the Labour Party represent them and their best interests. The Labour Council is corrupt, has been for decades, but they keep voting for them. The City is a major player in property development fraud. There is a very strongly embedded benefit culture. It’s no wonder there’s so much crime.
Are Scousers another victim group . Never able to better themselves unless “government ” via civil servants shovel money their way ?
Cannot they see that Labour doesnt represent labour , that that party should change its name ?
Jim Davidson gig took the piss out of dinghy diver , pensioners, and Climate Change at his Norfolk gig
and the audience loved it

Very sweary
I saw Davidson at Caesers Palace, Luton, place was packed, and he ran over-time, so the doors were locked. Police were in the audience too. He was a machine gun of rapid fire jokes and the audience were crying, helpless with laughter. Comedians today may get full houses at the Apollo, but they would kill for those audiences of long ago.
Standard BBC protocol applied.
Liverpool drug dealer who ran into house leading to poor little girls death is headline picture as he is white.
Ill Just remind everyone that no picture has yet been posted as a headline of the thug who slashed the 85 year old in a wheel chair, and it won’t be prominently displayed because he is black and to do so would be implying that black people commit knife crime.
Its standard BBC protocol.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Pt 1:
White House dodges direct questions on who will pay for massive student loan handout
The White House on Wednesday declined to say who will be on the hook for a massive $300 billion student loan forgiveness plan announced by President Biden moments earlier.
During a news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre outlined the benefits of the plan but skirted questions about who will pay for it when asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy.
“When you forgive debt, you’re not just disappearing debt, so who is paying for this?”
President Biden announced a massive student loan forgiveness plan for certain borrowers making less than $125,000 per year as debt continues to climb.

Pt 2
“Two more New York Times Palestinian freelancers caught praising Hitler
Multiple NY Times freelancers reporting on the Israel-Gaza conflict have a history of making anti-Semitic posts
Soliman Hijjy, a freelance filmmaker whose work has been featured by the Times between 2018 and 2021, praised Adolf Hitler in a 2012 Facebook post, writing “How great you are, Hitler” in Arabic, according to Akiva Van Koningsveld, editor of the pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting.
In a 2018 post, Hiijy shared a photo of himself with a caption that translated to either “I’m in tune like Hitler during the holocaust” or “in a state of harmony as Hitler was during the Holocaust.”
According to HonestReporting, freelance photographer Hosam Salem praised a 2011 bus bombing in Jerusalem that killed two and injured 39.
In 2014, Salem cheered on Hamas, claiming the “resistance captured a Zionist soldier.” The IDF soldier Oron Shaul was later killed. That same year, he mourned the death of Hamas operative Salam Maher al-Madhoun, who is tied to the deaths of four IDF soldiers and later expressed joy for the massacre of four rabbis and a police officer in Jerusalem. In 2015, Salem applauded two other terror attacks and in 2018, after being hired by The Times, HonestReporting alleged he “called for more violence” following an attack that killed two IDF soldiers in the West Bank. “
New York Times journalist says:
“I don’t accept a Jew, Israeli or Zionist, or anyone else who speaks Hebrew. I’m with killing them wherever they are children, elderly people, and soldiers,” Hanona wrote in Arabic on a Facebook post, adding: “In the end, the Jews are sons of the dogs and I am in favor of killing them and burning them like Hitler did to them. I would be extremely happy,” including two smiling emojis.
In another Facebook post from August 2014, Hanona attributed a quote to the Nazi leader, writing, “As Hitler said, give me a Palestinian soldier and a German weapon, and I will make Europe crawl on its fingertips.”
This one likely parades around as a “moderate muslim” like the rest…
Maitlis in a very self-serving whine and highly, highly political attack on the Tories[and Trump]….incredibly one-sided and, well, Meghan Markel-like in its self-delusions and self-obsessed, self-important, self-pitying snivelling….
Apparently the Media should be free from vilification and interference….lol…she rails at Boris for being an unaccountable dictator-in-the-making and yet she expects one of the most powerful establishments in the land to be beyond examination and criticism…coz she works there. Such a Princess.
Laughed at her intro…by no less a person than the race-baiting Afua Hirsch of course…..truth and honesty…that’s Maitlis in two words apparently!
This speech is why Maitlis was so unfit for any unbiased news organisation…her highly political spin and misinformation on events attacking only the usual suspects….how is it she missed the Democrats attempt to mount a coup using a fake dossier basically straight from Russian intelligence…oh..hang on…the BBC were fully behind the Democrat’s corruption and collusion with Putin….no wonder Maitlis looks the other way….want to talk about ‘normalising’ corruption and treachery? She’s just done it. And Trump not accept the result of an election? Well…outrageous and unprecedented…except for Hilary Clinton who to this day tours BBC studios claiming her election was stolen and she was the real President…and note…she voted for a security barrier and demanded a stop to illegal immigration…but you never heard that on the BBC….just that Trump was such a racist for wanting that ‘Wall’.
You also didn’t hear that the EU, Irish government and their mouthpiece, the BBC, recruited the terrorist murderers, torturers and drug dealers of the IRA to their cause….threatening to start the violence again if the British didn’t sign up to the Backstop….a device designed to blackmail Britain….even the Irish press recognised it for what it was calling it literally ‘dynamite’.
And let’s not mention the BBC helping to spread anti-Semitism around the world or its highly toxic race reporting….spreading hate and division[and not a few cops being murdered] rather than peace and unity.
Maitlis has been part of an organisation that colluded with Putin in trying to destroy US democracy, that allied itself with murderous terrorists [both Irish and Islamic], that spread anti-Semitism around the globe, that promotes the murder of White people and the destruction of their civilisation and society, that mounted a coup against the British PM…the BBC deciding it would have the final say not the voters.
The BBC is the most dangerous organisation in Britain…and Maitlis was fully signed up to all of that…..even now spreading the lies, half-truths and disinformation that she and her colleagues did so well at the BBC…and yet wilfully ignorant of her own part in all that as she piously preaches to us from her high horse….though some might say it’s more ass than horse.
LOL….just listened to the rest of Maitlis’ rant…boy…must have been on the Jim Bean when she cobbled that together.
1. The BBC must not give a platform to its critics….nor must it give critics of the orthodoxy or mainstream, dominant thinking a voice…if 500 economists think Brexit is bad the BBC must not go out to find the one economist who has a different view….never mind that 499 of those 500 don’t think so on economic terms but purely political…a love for the EU superstate….but let’s not ask their motivation as we don’t ask climate scientists why they back climate change so vociferously as they collect their grants so dependent on it.
2. Robbie Gibbs is an active agent of the Tory Party…never mind he worked for 25 years for the BBC…even as Newsnight editor, before going to No10 under May for a couple of years. Maitlis has nothing to say about Craig Oliver who went to work for Cameron…an ardent Remainer and frequent guest on the BBC now….and oddly nothing about the Chairman of the BBC Board, Richard Sharp…a Tory. Why nothing about him? And as Gibb is Jewish does that play into Maitlis’ criticism of him? He made loud complaints about the BBC’s lies about the Jews who were attacked on a bus by Muslims. Why is she so venomous about Sir Robbie?
3. Maitlis quotes Robert De Niro trashing Trump for his alleged comments about bleach and covid….Maitlis sniggers and mocks Trump and continues the lie….and refrains from telling her audience that Trump never said that. She asks if she should have got a Trump-supporting actor on as balance…no…all she needed to do was tell the truth…do her job…but that’s clearly beyond her…too afraid and too enthralled to contradict a superstar actor.
4. She wails that she was hung out to dry by the BBC over her anti-Dominic Cummings tirade…there was no due process…the BBC rushed to reassure the government….all due to that ‘active agent of the Tory Party, Robbie Gibb and his populist accusations.
Purely her own Clintonesque spin on her own failure to remain impartial and balanced.
5. And onto the populist danger facilitated by social media to our democracy…a long-time favourite of a BBC determined to keep control of all information, the news agenda and ‘the Truth’. People being able to get their hands on information and knowledge the BBC would rather they didn’t…and all unfiltered by the BBC commissars…appalling…the Deplorables thinking for themselves…..it must be stopped!
6. Two results of that appalling populism….Brexit and Trump….Maitlis says we can’t rest…they’re still with us….you know…havoc at Dover…due to Brexit….er…no…due to French officials not turning up to work…hence now at work things go smoothly….a pure lie by Maitlis.
7. Brexit, she implies, is a conspiracy against the British people…..er…no…that’d be the BBC’s own reporting trying to overturn Brexit and the people’s vote as they did with Boris and his 80 seat majority.
8. The media, she says, is reluctant to talk about Brexit…to reveal the true horror of it…lol….really? Clearly she never listens to the BBC or even her new station, LBC.
9. Journalists must battle populism….must callout the populist playbook tricks…and she segways from Infowars Alex Jones to Trump, Boris and Nadine Dorries clearly trying to create some connection and impression that they are all the same as Jones and thus to discredit them….a very nasty trick.
10. Boris & Co are afraid of scrutiny, they reject the legitimate checks and balances that the media imposes on them…..no…Boris did over a hundred interviews in the election…Trump quite rightly complained of a biased media when 90% was openly and actively trying to unseat him.
11. Maitlis rails against ‘false equivalence’….her example Trump comparing the FBI raid on his home to the Watergate burgalry…well…that’s somewhat flamboyant but arguable…..unlike the BBC, indeed Maitlis herself in this speech, claiming Jan 6 was an ‘insurrection’ intended to destroy democracy in America. In what way was that an insurrection?
12. We must change our journalistic style…do more podcasts where we can throw off the shackles of ‘formality’…ie…rules on impartiality and bias, honesty and truthfulness. Can’t really see that as a change for Maitlis…pretty much her on Newsnight.
13. She claims the Media are the mediators between Power and the People….must be fair and robust…lol….I await that with great expectations…lol. The Media must interpret and filter information for the great unwashed….they’re just too stupid to understand it themselves…..Maitlis curating enormous power to herself and her buddies…along with those huge wage packets.

Well done for listening . Personally I have only heard or seen her at the andrew Windsor show .
But … the very act of going bigly on the issues you describe disqualify her from any claim of lacking bias . People like her just have egos which expand into the space allowed to them .
She is a great help to our campaign . The more she says – the more focus on the bias of the BBC there will be . Her claim of ‘right wing ‘ would be seen by any one sane as a joke .
Her disciples will just see / hear what they want to see ‘ hear so no change there …..
Actually – re reading what you wrote – it reads like she is interviewing for a Big Job in the USA….
Going well for the BBC certainly. Bless her peroxide addled head.

Now, Newsnight…. Mason, O’Brien, Goodhall, Esler… with guest editor for Brexit Nick Clegg….
Guest who – I wonder who ‘Tom slater ‘ is ? Is that a spoof account ? Does he really that? If he does he surely should get help …

The BBC is less like a favourite ‘Auntie’ and more like a shrivelled up ‘old hag’
… reminds me of the film with ‘she who must be obeyed’ who steps into the flame of eternal life only for it to revert eternal life and reveal a shrivelled up old hag.
I think it is the same Mr. Slater, editor of Spiked, writing in the Speccie link shared just now.
His views there suggest this was indeed tongue in cheek.
Our household just got the second snotty reminder to tell them our status, or else.
Usually we do but frankly costing them a wasted trip is the least I can manage.
The BBC will have to make deep cuts to its programme budgets after the government said the broadcaster’s funding would be frozen for the next two years, with the licence fee abolished completely in 2027.
The culture secretary, Nadine Dorries, is expected to confirm that the cost of an annual licence, required to watch live television and access iPlayer services, will remain at £159 until 2024 before rising slightly for the following three years.
She said this would be the end of the current licence fee funding model for the BBC, raising doubts about the long-term financial future and editorial independence of the public service broadcaster under a Conservative government.

There were even organizations such as the Junior Anti-Sex League, which advocated complete celibacy for both sexes. All children were to be begotten by artificial insemination (artsem, it was called in Newspeak) and brought up in public institutions. This, Winston was aware, was not meant altogether seriously, but somehow it fitted in with the general ideology of the Party. The Party was trying to kill the sex instinct, or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it. He did not know why this was so, but it seemed natural that it should be so. And as far as the women were concerned, the Party’s efforts were largely successful.

Fed, insulating homes faces two problems: getting over planning restrictions caused by Grade listing/local Heritage zoning/Victorian Society – and – the fact that an increasing amount of the UK housing stock is brand new and built to a higher standard – and – for the affluent inbetweenies will have made those improvements to their houses anyway.
Hah! You weren’t expecting the Sapnish Inquisition, were you? I have four objections to the Sunak Insulation plan …..
As I’ve said before, the country is so strangled by legislation that we now have the spectacle of dense Statutory law, tripping over other Statutory laws effectively halting any innovative ideas/options. The image of Gulliver lashed to the ground is forefront in my mind’s eye.

TOADY Watch #1 – Amol creates unnecessary CO2 emissions by the BBC
Amol is in the south-west of England (on a BBC Licence Fee jolly holiday) presenting TOADY, ostensibly to pick up some GCSE results. Wife and children gone with you Amol? Cornwall. Devon. Bank Holiday weekend. Hmmmmnn.
The BBC already have a perfectly adequate Correspondent in the south-west of England. I am sure they could have opened the envelope for you.
Next item: the BBC criticise G**gle for changing the way they calculate the environmental impact of air flights. You couldn’t make it up! The BBC want to stop us flying, using our cars, heating our homes but are quite happy to make a completely unnecessary journey – and quite a long one at that – to the south-west of England.

‘ Today ‘ has decided the killing of a 9 year old In Her Own Home – is a ‘big one ‘. Yes it’s horrible – yes it still unusual – but it gets the full hand wringing treatment . ….
I wonder why some killings ‘get traction ‘ and others don’t . Will some coloured kid aged – say 14 – get the full treatment as well ? ( this will happen in a week or two when the ferals go back to school ) . The answer to my question is no .
The emotion over the killing of an 87 year old on a mobility scooter has been ‘filed ‘. The vicarious grief locked away – killings as media entertainment .
Will anything change ? No . Will more people die ? Yes . Will woke plod change ? No .
The final thing is the call for witnesses . I see Liverpool as an extension of Republican Northern Ireland where silence is the code .
But more generally – anyone who engages with the criminal justice system – plod -is insane .
Fed, Amol does deserve the soubriquet ‘universal’; some might say overwhelming and unnecessarily all over the BBC or ‘ubiquitous’. However, the BBC could, in these straightened times that they like to constantly tell us are upon us all, cut the TOADY presentation team from four regulars plus several occasionals down to one, the TWatO presentation team down to one regular, the TWotWeee presentation team down to one regular presenter, TWoTo presentation team down to one regular, and the PM presentation team down to just one.
In other words have Amol do everything at the BBC. In fact, why not scrap the BBC Board and D-G and get Amol to do those jobs as well. I look forward to the TV Licence Fee being cut by £150, at the very least, if not more.
Reducing it to £9…? Amol is not worth that.

Man questioned after girl, 9, shot dead
Investigations into the death of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel have led to the arrest of a man who was targeted by a gunman. Convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee, 35 has been named as the intended victim in the gun chase, which spilled into Olivia’s home in Liverpool on Monday night and resulted in her being killed. Police have not publicly identified Nee but officers said a 35-year-old man injured in the shooting would be recalled to prison. They also said the man had been detained in hospital and would be further questioned in connection with Olivia’s death. The hunt for the gunman continues, and police said they have been given the same name by two different sources. Both men have no links to Olivia’s family.
Take a look at whether UK gun crimes are on the rise again

Apologies for the faux pas.
It is inevitable that all crime will rise . 2 years were spent with social structures frozen or distorted – and plod could concentrate on prosecuting non confrontational park bench sitters for breaching Chinese virus regulations .
So crime makes a comeback – demand for drugs goes up up up – burglary – robbery ( mugging ) making a come back together with ‘steaming ‘ and the inevitable twitter led rioting by the feral yoof innit .
I think it will get worse quickly as even the most thick will realise plod only like easy (white ) targets and ‘ social campaigning ‘ rather than anything nasty …
bbc and its carefully chosen victims:
There are many who are victims of cancer including my friends and relatives, but this one seems well on her way to becoming sanctified, like St Jo Cox, I am tired of hearing about her, why her all the time ?
I gave up counting at sixty bbc stories about her in 2022, there are many more, as a search will reveal.

Fifteen articles this month alone in the Mail about her, a book could hardly fail with this support from the MSM with the bbc at the helm.
In March 2018, the former Department for International Development (DFID), now Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), launched the Jo Cox Memorial Grants; a £10 million UK Aid fund to support organisations working on two themes close to Jo’s heart: women’s social, economic and political empowerment, and strengthening civil society capacity for early prediction of identity-based violence.

The aim of the Party was not merely to prevent men and women from forming loyalties which it might not be able to control. Its real, undeclared purpose was to remove all pleasure from the sexual act. Not love so much as eroticism was the enemy, inside marriage as well as outside it. All marriages between Party members had to be approved by a committee appointed for the purpose, and — though the principle was never clearly stated — permission was always refused if the couple concerned gave the impression of being physically attracted to one another. The only recognized purpose of marriage was to beget children for the service of the Party. Sexual intercourse was to be looked on as a slightly disgusting minor operation, like having an enema. This again was never put into plain words, but in an indirect way it was rubbed into every Party member from childhood onwards. There were even organizations such as the Junior Anti-Sex League, which advocated complete celibacy for both sexes. All children were to be begotten by artificial insemination (artsem, it was called in Newspeak) and brought up in public institutions. This, Winston was aware, was not meant altogether seriously, but somehow it fitted in with the general ideology of the Party. The Party was trying to kill the sex instinct, or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it. He did not know why this was so, but it seemed natural that it should be so. And as far as the women were concerned, the Party’s efforts were largely successful.
It is a crime to gaze upon the face of the Almighty. (Women).
This sort of action has dark parallels with the draconian and inexplicable rules enforced by “certain” religious fervents.
“So a woman can complain, and get anyone she likes kicked out and police called coz he apparently “looked at her”?” one user wrote.
Another had mixed opinions about the rule, saying a “stare” is often the first step in a potential flirtation but understand it can be seen as “creepy” if it’s unwanted.

The UK will not be freezing this Winter as a result of any war in the Ukraine.
Nor will it be freezing because Russia has decided to cut the gas supply to Germany.
We will be freezing because our insane Socialist fake Tory government decided to follow the ‘Green’ insanity and abandon decades of good energy policy.
If we were generating electricity by oil or coal as well as gas then our electricity would be double what it was instead of quadruple.
The crazed idea of wind farms has not really produced the results promised and we cannot count on any generation at all from wind energy.

OK here’s something which is not rocket science, the kind of thing you might call a lightbulb moment it’s so obvious, yet it’s not being reported in the news or any media as far as I can tell.
8th November is the US midterms, and you might have noticed the seeming inexorable rise in energy prices appears to have slowed somewhat.
This is because the market is being manipulated by the US government to keep those energy prices artificially low pre elections, and it’s working, many sheeple are drifting back to supporting Biden, but they are going to get the chock of their lives.
Post 8th November you can expect inflation of fuel to explode again, the prediction of the $300 a barrel oil possibly.
It shouldn’t come as shock more a realisation this is what political parties always do prior to elections, try and make things appear better than they really are.
Having a heads up is a great thing, being forewarned is forearmed, and many saps who continue to believe Biden is doing a good job are going to get the shock of their lives.
“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

A White House spokesperson pointed to other comments Biden made during the July 21 town hall that less sweepingly characterized vaccinations as protecting people from serious illness or death.
“This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die,” Biden said.
Bit of compare and contrast today as we check one of our national titles’ Scots edition.

Canny economists – which species our Scots cousins used to produce, once upon a time – will tell you those massive government debt injections into the economy have at last inticed these inflation chickens home to roost – but of course our ill-conceived sanctions on Russia haven’t helped any.

What’s in it for us? I know our moneyed elites – the likes of Biden and Blair – have a keen interest in Ukraine…
Welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe (Guardian, 2015)
According to Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index, Ukraine ranked 122nd out of 180 countries, near countries such as Zambia, Gabon and Mexico, while nations like Denmark and Finland ranked first. (Aljazeera, June 2022) – you know it’s serieous when even the arabs are telling you your favourite nation runs on baksheesh
Presumably, for the reason even the flagrantly patriotic Express daren’t put Boris on its Scots edition frontpage, instead the caledonians are treated to: Unions warn of ‘months of disruption’ as rubbish piles up in the streets.
Meanwhile the first minister – take your pick of her nicknames – ‘Nippy‘ Nicola Sturgeon mocks ‘nippy sweetie’ nickname in brilliant tweet (the fawning Daily Record); ‘Gnasher‘ What intimate injuries did Nicola Sturgeon inflict on a former lover? (SNP antithetical Sun)
Well, she’s at the Edinburgh Fringe of course: Sturgeon’s identity crisis… FM chats about ‘feeling British’ as bin chaos spreads (The Scottish Sun)
Turns out Scots comedian Jerry Sadowitz was judged politically incorrect whereas Nicola Sturgeon is politically correct and just the ticket for the formerly edgy anti-establishment comedy Festival
The Telegraph is more than happy to give the Scots one in the “aye” in terms of government spending: Scots receive £2,000 more per head than residents in rest of UK – in the furtherance of whose independence is our tax cash paying – Ukraine or Scotland?
Put both BoJo and Gnasher in a sack, I don’t know who I’d pull out first.

(a welcome debut hereabouts for the refreshingly honest World News Daily Report ‘where facts don’t matter’) – one wonders whether this story was true? Can we trust their reports? At least they’re not claiming to be ‘United with the people of Ukraine’

How much longer will Mark Styne be allowed to share his views with us? How long will he be allowed to tell us the truth which is so uncomfortable for the globalist elite steered by the WEF?
I’m surprised that he has lasted so long on GB News , nearly a year. I would have thought that Ofcom would have been instructed to have him and his heretical views closed down long since. No matter that for the most part his views are supported by facts which are hidden from us by the elite and their bag carriers in the MSM.
Whilst the GB News audience is growing it disappoints me that the growth is so slow. I realise that many folks don’t really give much thought to News and current affairs, even when it affects them personally. They care even less when it’s in foreign parts. But what GB News is offering in general , and Steyn in particular, are themes which reveal the likely collapse of our country and our way of life. How can folk not be interested in that !
Perhaps only a very small % of the population actually know that GB News even exists let alone what it offers . That might be why Ofcom haven’t acted , they don’t see the need with such a small audience. Will GBN be able to significantly increase its audience and its influence? Surely as the MSM as a whole drifts ever further left and GBN remains firmly anchored centre right more people will start to use the channel.
“likely collapse of our country and our way of life. How can folk not be interested in that !” – People will not believe it until it is a show on NETFLIX.

Rishi last ditched attempt …
Rishi Sunak has finally managed to grab the agenda during the leadership race, and finally not for a u-turn or a strategic cock up. Interviewed in The SpectatorSunak’s argues SAGE made historically bad predictions based on botched modelling and No. 10 never allowed a debate to be had on the cost-benefit of lockdown measures – particularly on closing schools. A culture of fear was decided on by the top of government and their scientific advisors, which was then set in stone. “Dissenting voices were filtered out and a see-no-evil policy was applied.”

Good article in the Telegraph today by Ian Botham.
He suggests that the professional protesters don’t really care about the issue in question, it’s about choosing subjects where the opponents of their cause of the day are centre-right,
Thus animal rights people are highly selective. They oppose fox hunting but do not campaign against the RSPB who kill foxes to protect ground nesting birds, and also attach honey-flavoured cotton wool to the live wires of electric fences in order to kill badges.
In other words the left wing protect the left wing. Animal rights people have as their main target the people not the animals. Thus the ‘right wing toffs’ who hunt, and by extension the Tories generally.
So following Mr Botham’s logic, we may also conclude that
ER don’t glue themselves to the road for the benefit of the climate but to oppose the ‘right wing’ who favour private transport and private business. Transgender activists exist primarily to embarrass right wingers who are more likely to resist their strictures and thus appear out-of-date and irrelevant.
And so on. Often of course it’s the same ‘professional protesters’ appearing to support all the above causes. Destabilise and so destroy. The Marxist route to power.
As for the BBC. Well, maybe the above is not so OT after all.,
The animal ‘rights’ thugs are even more selective than that. They never intefere with the working mans sport of badger baiting or the highly popular Pakistani ‘sport’ of dog fighting’, nor what I believe to be the pikies favourite Hare coursing.
Funny too how those men who like to dress up in fur lined dresses and curly wigs will support what they consider to be ‘protest’ but come down like a ton of bricks on anyone protesting outside their courtrooms, a la Tommy Robinson style.
Or the fans of halaal slaughter
You could add to that list Unite and the rail unions, it’s not about pay it’s all about left wing political manoeuvring.
