OK, back on the trail to get five firsts in a row. Maybe. Maybe not. Am also back on the trail to report BBC bias but I suspect I will be handicapped a bit over this weekend. If the BBC on R4 keep this “Woe, woe and thrice woe!” going on energy and bills, I will be switching off. I note with some irony that there were links on one page (think it was Business) of the BBC’s web-site to ‘Why are energy prices increasing so much?’ dated October 2021! That rather gives the lie to the fact it is all down to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/business-58849727

Oi! Fed, you are meant to be neutral and as a northerner, well a north-east northerner of the North Londoner persuasion, you could be allied with those of us who like to get the sun every day by facing south. And let’s hear it for the East and West as well. Yaayyyyyyyy!
I see. Just as when it comes to government funding, the Midlands don’t exist.
From the DT – the BBC plan to merge 2 propaganda channels is upsetting BBCOFCOM âŠ
STARTS
The BBC must not allow its news output to suffer by merging two rolling channels into one global service, the media regulator has warned.
Ofcom said it will take steps to ensure the broadcaster continues to compete fairly and deliver for British audiences if the sweeping changes to BBC News 24 harm output.
It made the statement as it proposed a new set of quotas to ensure the BBC News team continues to provide a breadth of local, regional, national and international stories.
The regulator said it had not seen any detailed delivery plans for scrapping its two rolling news channels for UK and overseas audiences and launching a new global station serving both that is expected to trigger 70 job cuts.
The watchdog added: âWe have not yet seen detailed delivery plans for the merged channel and how the BBC will continue to serve UK audiences and deliver its remit.
âIn particular, we expect the BBC to be clear about how it plans to ensure that BBC News will continue to provide high quality UK news.
âIf we have concerns, we can impose conditions in the operating licence relating specifically to BBC News and how it must serve UK audiences.â
It added: âShould any issues of concern arise we will work with the BBC to address them, and if necessary, take steps under either our performance or competition powers to ensure the BBC continues to compete fairly and deliver for audiences in the UK.â
The BBC’s plans have proven divisive among the corporation’s staff, with the BBC newsreader Martine Croxall lashing out at the plans on Twitter by claiming that she does not âbelieve the true extent of the damage to the news channel has been made plainâ.
Meanwhile, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) is pushing for BBC executives to make an about turn on the decision amid fears it will have a severe impact on coverage.
The NUJ is considering taking strike action, although no decision has been taken yet by members.
Michelle Stanistreet, the general secretary of the NUJ, previously said that the union understands that the BBC must make year-on-year cuts following a decision by the Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries to freeze the licence fee. However, she says the union cannot support plans that have a severe impact on coverage.
The BBC claims the move will help it shape a more âdigital-ledâ operation that will deliver more value for taxpayers by giving licence fee payers access to international stories that were previously exclusive to global audiences.
There will also be a UK stream of the channel that will look different to the international coverage at certain times of day and depending on the news agenda.
It has prompted concerns that such changes could force the BBC to cede ground to rivals, who are willing to step up their national coverage to try and seize audience share.
The BBC dismissed the idea that such changes will boost rivals in a comment to The Telegraph last week.
âNo, quite the reverse â weâre making better use of the licence fee to give audiences the UKâs best breaking news services, in the ways we know theyâre using them, both on TV and online,â a spokesman said.
âRather than running two parallel TV news channels, weâll have one, better, channel, with the trusted, high-quality news people expect from the BBC.
âWeâre not stepping away from UK coverage, weâre making that coverage better â on TV and online.â
The shake-up comes as British broadcasters have been investing and expanding their current affairs coverage, as part of a strategy to keep viewers from defecting to American streamers.
ITV is extending its evening news bulletin to an hour as a result, and Channel 4 has handed the veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil a political interview show on Sundays.
A BBC spokesman said: âWe welcome Ofcomâs clarification on the regulatory situation and we will work with them as our proposals take shape.
âWe have exciting plans to create the best live and breaking video news service for UK audiences â on our app, online, the iPlayer and a new and improved TV news channel.
âThis will be a fully public service news channel in the UK, broadcasting 24-hours a day and it will meet all of our regulatory obligations.âENDS
( I edited out the image of Martine Croxall for the benefit of those of a nervous disposition and pet dogs )
All BBC channel closure decisions are reversed. It is an iron law designed to prove they are thinking about saving money and rationalisation. They can then go to the government and ask for more licence fee or as in the case of the World Service reversal go to the Foreign Office and seek subsidy again. Fear of the BBC Staff Pension Scheme going into a supposed deficit is the other unstoppable reason for extra fee.
I can’t even be your wing man Up2, I’ve been snaffled of that as well.
Not sure if this has been mentioned previously, but have just watched All That Glitters – 8 jewellers in competition da di da di da. Admittedly I do like this type of show as the competitors have to be in possession of a ‘skill’ – be it pottery, sewing etc.
Of course there was the line-up of usual suspects, out of the 8 there was 1 Gay, 1 Jamaican, 1 mixed race, – no disabled, BUT 1 resident of the Calais Jungle Camp – yep you read that right. A young man who fled Damascus 3 years ago and walked his way across Europe until he reached France and the gateway to the UK. Like you do. He started fashioning rings out of nails, and “became the Camp jeweller”.
No mention though ( he spoke perfect English) of how he got smuggled here, or how he has since managed to set up his own jewellery business with all the paraphernalia this not cheap hobby entails. And all since setting off from Syria 3 years ago. I thought Asylum applications were backlogged 8 years, so did the BBC get him fast tracked to appear on their show ? His name was ‘Steve’ but his real name is Mustafa – of course it is. I just thought it unbelievable, but clearly the BBC want to make a subliminal point that those poor migrants across the Channel can contribute and make a new life here. ‘Steve’ would hardly get a prime slot on France TĂ©lĂ©vision like he would here.
I hope he doesnât carry his bag of nails on his back..
Brissles, my dear old thing (it’s the Test cricket season and could England be in with a chance of a three day win after a three day loss?) just look at the score you have amassed with your post. Quality!

The Cambridge mosque does have a nice garden
So BBC Gardeners World sent their mixed race female presenter down

Plague.
Pestilence.
Death.
Starvation.
Freezing to death.
Get ready for a ceaseless tirade on the above from the BBC, seeking out endless people claiming to suffer from the list.
All on account of the energy cost increases announced today.
No doubting the seriousness of the increase. Just one issue. It takes place from October 1. The BBC report as if it has already happened.
Gotta keep the divisive, seditious narrative going 24/7, accurate or not.
Sluff.
We need to give the Beeb some credit as they are already hard at it with headlines such as ‘Lives at Risk’ this winter. Funny how they put the first three words in inverted commas (probably a get out clause)
The upshot of all this is that I am expecting to die a horribly slow and painful death from the point the daily temperature drops below 20c, heading into the artic like winter, mainly due to me leaving all the lights on, heating thermostat set at 35c, all the windows open and wandering around in my boxers and also wondering why my Smart meter has gone into meltdown.
We are an extraordinarily wasteful country (25% of food thrown away- profiteering supermarkets partly to blame). There has to be some self responsibility and yes no one wants higher bills, but a few simple and inexpensive steps would help take some of the sting out of the price rises.
On a side note my window cleaner who is a font of all knowledge and should be PM in my opinion, although he does talk a lot, told me yesterday that he still sees new drives being installed, new windows and extensions. Not one of his customers has cancelled and he tells me window cleaning often gets hit when people try to economise. I did think of suggesting that he could close a few open windows in the colder months to help.
The Beeb keeps going on about crisis this and crisis that and eventually many will start believing the utter rubbish that they constantly spew out. I’m pleased to confirm there are currently no crises, unless an unknown tsunami or hurricane, heading our way, was not predicted on Beebs weather, which is the only thing they are slightly good at.
Very true Concrete. I’m mystified at those who say they don’t know whether to heat or eat. Well what sort of people have their heating on when its 27deg in the shade outside ? surely the bills to worry about for heating come in around Christmas time – mine do anyway, but the weather in recent years has been the coldest around February.
Incidentally has anyone any experience with battery tv’s ? if there are blackouts in the winter, I’m totally rubbish at having to resort to reading a book by camping light – especially at 7 pm when its far too early for bed.
Some great books around (I buy them second hand) currently reading about Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett and his 1925 expedition through the Amazon looking for the lost city of Z, who vanished without a trace.
I prefer this to Strictly Come Baking on Ice and the plethora of reality tripe (apart from the Sweeney and Minder when available)
Quite right!
Music Magpie and World of books are our favoured sellers!
I even bought a whole set of fifteen books from a 1940s authour, for just a few pounds, and found that they were originally rejects from Walsall Library!
Now if that isn’t a green way to enjoy life without seeing the utter crap reality ‘shows’ the bbc continue to splurt with tiresome abandon, then I’m a banana!
And Uppers, I had to Google Rossendale, (I did Latin, not geography), that looks a very nice place!
I bet that the bbc’s scaring doom gloom and despondency doesn’t apply to these thousands of areas where normal life goes on, rather like here in West Kent!
And I picked another couple of pounds of free blackberries yesterday!
Zephir, Your talent is wasted ! Strictly Come Baking on Ice. Great idea. There could be a ‘Celebrity panel of judges’ with a banal chant, which is then taken up by an alleged studio audience of ‘Bake it off, Bake it off’ and followed by lots of whooping.
Brissles,

Concrete, “told me yesterday that he still sees new drives being installed, new windows and extensions. Not one of his customers has cancelled” and ” Iâm pleased to confirm there are currently no crises” which is supported by this piece of BBC info: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62688686. People are still flying, here, there, everywhere.
Great post CS.
As an aside I have an article somewhere where some guy did a massive study of deaths per 100,000 by occupation. It was published in something like the BMJ.
The most dangerous job was fishing but it turned out that more window cleaners die per capita (falling off ladders) than firemen. How often does the BBC or politicians talk about âour brave window cleanersâ?
My next door neighbour is at this moment replacing his soffits and windows. Heâs a multi-millionaire. No he isnât. He has a white van and works for a telecoms company.

“NICOLA Sturgeon requested a meeting with Denmark’s Prime Minister during a controversial trip to Copenhagen – but was snubbed.
Sources revealed Mette Frederiksen refused to meet with the First Minister during the trip. Instead, the foreign minister was dispatched to the early morning meeting. It comes as opposition criticism grew over Ms Sturgeon’s trip to Scandinavia to open a new ‘Nordic office’, despite the cost of living crisis back home.
Opposition parties had previously raised objections to Ms Sturgeon’s trips abroad amid pleas for the SNP to sort out industrial action which left rubbish overflowing on the streets of Edinburgh.
Other towns and cities are now caught up in the walkouts which have affected refuse collections.
In Glasgow, all primary schools and nurseries will shut on September 6 to 8 inclusive as part of industrial action, which will affect special schools, too.
Further bin strikes are taking place at more local authorities and the dispute now affects 21 out of 32 Scottish councils.”

“Leaked emails that PROVE the RAF is prejudiced against white male recruits: The Air Force apologised after requesting diverse pilot to be their face at Top Gun 2 premiere… now GUY ADAMS asks if latest evidence shows top brass breached equality laws
No one draws a crowd quite like Tom Cruise, and when the Hollywood star came to London to promote his new Top Gun movie, Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force was handed a priceless PR opportunity.
Specifically, its ‘Media & Comms’ team was asked if they could find a real-life British fighter ace to join Cruise at one of the media events scheduled around the film’s glittering premiere in Leicester Square. In late April, an RAF publicity wallah named ‘Sarah’ therefore emailed officials at RAF bases, looking for someone to take on the job.
And that’s when things took a bizarre â and some might say sinister â turn.
‘Gents,’ began her message. ‘Do any of you have a ‘pilot who is preferably not a white male’ who would like to be the ‘RAF’ face at a press event for the release of Top Gun 2? Shy guys get no cakes so shout quick as offer has also gone out to other units.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11150873/GUY-ADAMS-Did-RAF-break-law-pursuit-diversity.html
Further to the above:
“It saw Nicholl complain that she’d been instructed ‘to make offers of employment to additional women and EM [ethnic minority] candidates solely on the basis of their protected characteristics and in preference to non-EM men who have passed all selection criteria ahead of them’. ‘This is unlawful,’ she wrote. ‘I am not prepared to delegate or abdicate the responsibility of actioning that order to my staff.'”
“Two years ago it emerged that the Ministry of Defence actually employs more diversity and equality officers than the Royal Navy has warships â 44 of them, in fact.
At the time, the ministry was looking to recruit a diversity and inclusion director on a ÂŁ110,000 annual salary. That’s more than the total earned by an army colonel, who commands a battalion of 800 soldiers.
The job went to Samantha des Forges. Her LinkedIn profile styles her as ‘Samantha des Forges she/her/hers’.”
“To this end, Sir Mike’s reign at the RAF is a pertinent case study.
At the time he took the top job, a mere 2.5 per cent of RAF personnel hailed from ethnic minorities, the lowest proportion of all the Armed Services (and less than the roughly 13 per cent of Britons who are non-white). He announced that he wanted new recruits to be 10 per cent BAME and 20 per cent female within a couple of years.
That target was hit in March 2021, prompting a self-congratulatory press release by RAF HQ. The targets were then increased to 12 and 25 per cent, rising to 20 and 40 per cent respectively by 2030.
In September 2020, a senior non-commissioned officer in the recruitment team instructed colleagues to remove candidates booked to commence ‘compulsory basic aptitude testing’ between October 26 and November 23 ‘unless BAME or female’
Fast forward to this year, and the pool of potential recruits appears to have been emptied of almost all of its female and BAME members after the bid to hit last year’s target.
But rather than fill training courses with white men (which would have meant missing the target next year), they decided to cancel the courses altogether. This fact emerged on August 17, when Group Captain Nicholl’s resignation was first reported.”

“How long will this so-called epidemic prevention farce continue? Do we want to become the butt of all other countries’ jokes?”
Our BBC there quoting comments found on Chinese social media criticising the decision of officials to require the Chinese female volleyball team to wear covid masks.
The attire as worn by women in the beach variety of this sport can a very controversial matter. We get a further inkling of the huge importance of female sports fashion in today’s Times: The striker wears Prada. Beth Mead England’s football sensation – now that the men’s season has kicked off all we ever seem to see or hear of those game changing Lionesses on our frontpages are their glamour photoshoots and occasional moaning in the Guardian about their pay rates. I digress. Oh, and in case you were wondering – the China indoor volleyball team turned out in a modest all red strip of shorts and vests and their opponents Iran were in black head to toe – plus their de rigueur headscarves.
The event took place on Thursday at the Asian Cup in the Philippines and saw the Chinese team go up against Iran.
Many netizens expressed their anger, suggesting that the health of players was being sacrificed for the sake of the country’s zero-Covid strategy. (BBC) – the term ‘netizens‘ could at a stretch refer to volleyball fans but I’m guessing it means denizens of social media.
Photos from the match, showing the athletes with their masks on, quickly circulated on social media – triggering an uncommon outpouring of criticism online, with more than 16 million views on the topic on Weibo, China’s largest social media platform.
Of course one big advantage of a totalitarian dictatorship is a certain sensitivity to the will of the masses and corrective orders from on high can be delivered and carried out in double quick time –
“Our leaders are… taking things too far – it’s as simple as that,” one user wrote.
Anxious that higher authority save face and concerned perhaps that their heads might roll, lower authority kowtows.
After losing the first set, most players later took their masks off during half-time – and later won 3-1 against Iran.
Our BBC tells of no suggestions found on Persian Farsi social media that perhaps their team’s headscarves were holding them back.
China’s Volleyball Association later apologised, saying the decision was made was due to a “lack of experience”.
“After realising that playing with a mask is not good for the health of the players, the team reminded us in time [so] that our players took off the masks and finished the next game,” the organisers said.
RIshi says he could have helped as he knew this but was unwilling to say at the time.

As Iâve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion Iâd like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that Iâve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

On Toady the following paraphrased interview, with the Catholic auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool, regarding the death of the little girl by gunfire – a type of event btw rather common in London but usually gets highly variable and selective BBC coverage. On this one the BBC are all over it. So as an aside is the BBC just feeding the famous Liverpudlian victimhood culture, the way they always remember Hillsborough but strangely forget Heysel?
Hussain – âBishop, give us a sense of how the community is feeling nowâ
Bishop – âItâs very hard to sayâ
Why does the BBC think a Bishop would know anything about the local community. Think Welby.
So. No hard news. Nothing to report. No real information. Just propagation of sentimental guesswork. I think Iâve answered my own question.
Just another way the BBC seeks to undermine the nationâs overall resolve.
Hence sticking âallegedlyâ on everything, sources say.

“Russia to build two nuclear reactors in Hungary”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62695938
We should build some as well.
Scrap the Green Levy, now.
Frack for Gas.
‘Gassify’ Coal , we have 200 years of it.
Jail the idiots of “Stop Oil”, and Extinction Rebellion.
Scrap the Telly TAX.
These actions need to be done now !
Vote for UKIP and The Reform Party (The Brexit Party) .
I reckon that we will see a large increase in the green propaganda battle this winter . As we sit shivering in our unseated homes the greens , and those who stand to make a lot of money, will be saying that the answer to the energy shortage is to build more renewable energy of all types. They will be desperate to kill the call for fracking and coal mining, which of course is the sensible way forward.
As usual all rational debate will be banned from the BBC et al and the public will be fed a constant diet of gross exaggerations, outright lies and suppression of inconvenient facts.
The big question is whether the public , forced to spend eyewatering amounts of money on electricity and gas , will grasp that it is only green policies which are causing the hardship. That the whole charade of global warming is false and that CO2 isnât a major existentialist problem for the world and that there is actually plenty of fossil fuel to be easily recovered .
I live in hope but not in expectation.
Perhaps the Russians could build a couple of nuclear reactors for us but then I suppose the Ukrainians would only try attacking them with donated British made Brimstone missiles with the intention of blaming those horrid Russians.

More inflation woes with more BBC racist and sexist discrimination. It’s been in every single article on the subject.
John,
Could it be argued that all those from a hot climate need more heat (aka money) than the indigenous population………………
John-You and I are amongst others on this website who have
sussed out that the BRITISH broadcasting corporation could
well be a Caribbean media outlet in it’s internet imaging.
I am not computer literate ,as you are and don’t know how
to download these BBC main feature images ,that go on
day after day after day on the BBC website. Yes occasionally
we see an an image of a Caucasian women’s face. But so
far as a pale stale male , on a public interest feature this
is all but banned by BIG BROTHER at the Diversity Dept
of the BBC ,who runs the show.
It’s easy Foscari:
Right click the image on the BBC website then click ‘copy image address’
Then click the ‘add images’ link under where you edit your post and paste the address into the box.
The picture will then appear in your post.
The pictures are a particularlt devious way the BBC drip-feed the agenda into the readers. Most have absolutely nothing to do with the main story and most are totally fake library pictures from Getty. Many of which are obviously not even from this country.
And most are of black people and/or women. 100% illegal racist discrimination in the guidelines for the people selecting them.
Maybe all our darker skinned folk leaving Africa for western climes was not a good plan?
“Some steel exports from Great Britain to Northern Ireland face 25% tariff”

The tariff is related to the Northern Ireland Protocol, the post-Brexit deal which means Northern Ireland is continuing to follow EU customs rules.

Today
Dimbleby PLC has a 3 part serial out about politics and the BBC .
So âtoday â advertises its own product as usual ⊠luvvies talking to luvvies âŠ
Iâm sure the 3rd documentary will cover the behaviour of local councils who condone paki Muslim racist rape gangs âŠ.
âŠ. Or maybe not âŠ..
.. much more comfortable to talk about London bubble crap âŠ
Dimbleby sounds so smug and comfortable and has no idea how much people donât just roll their eyes at it – but want it gone – privatised or closed âŠ.
The activist slogan ‘Silence is violence’ applies the the rapes gangs better than it does anything else.
But they don’t go there. Nothing in it for them.
Perhaps the activist slogan “silence is violence” should apply here as well – won’t hear this on the BBC or mainstream media:
https://beeley.substack.com/p/journalists-who-challenge-nato-narratives
Been watching ‘The Old man’ with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgoe.
First episode : Great. All action and promise of a thrilling cat-and-mouse.
Now I’m at episode 5 and the whole thing has slid to be the standard strong-woman, evil-man pile of woke dog-poo – clinging to those two whiteys who are there to make you keep watching the wokeness.
The writing and story is absolutely terrible. Many things make no sense. They clearly came up with the basic plot involving said women then tried to write an actual story around it.
I barely managed to finish episode 5 without turning it off halfway through. The question is : can I stomach the last 2 episodes to finish it ?.
It’s like the latest ‘Witcher’ : people watched it for the action and fighting stories. This one splits it between what made it famous and a seperate ‘strong women’ storyline.
This seems to be the general way of TV now. They tried all-woke and was panned as absolute rubbish. So now they are intertwining the woke bits with non-woke bits as a trick to get you to keep watching.
It’s quite sinister when you think about it. They are now playing tricks in order to feed you their social engineering propaganda.
JonhC – those âon lines â I bother with get assessed in about the first 5 or 10 minutes âŠ. Before being kicked into touch .
I made 2 mistakes – the excellent breaking bad ( dumped 1st time ) and âthe wire â ⊠so much for my judgement âŠ
No Uk tv can touch those âŠ
I did the same with Breaking Bad : lost interest after a few episodes but gave it another go much later after all the hype and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think ‘Better Call Saul’ is even better. I hope the latest one hasn’t gone woke.
I watched a few seasons of ‘The Wire’ but lost interest somewhere around where he went to work on a boat. Given the dire choice now, I might dig it out and watch the later ones.
Maybe I should give ‘Breaking Bad’ a second chance? I have to admit I gave up about 10 minutes into the first episode (that’s twice as long as many things I try), it just seemed really dull, and I couldn’t see what all the hype was about.
I have a theory (might well be wrong) about these series and how/why they often seem to go ‘off target’ part way through.
If you look at the credits carefully, each series has a ‘creator’ and then each episode has a different ‘writer’, so the ‘creator’ comes up with the idea for the series, some of the main characters, and maybe the plot of the first and last episodes, and all the ‘in filling’ is done by other ‘creatives’. My guess is the ‘creators’ are paid real money, whilst the ‘writers’ are paid in chicken feed.
Now call me cynical, but I’m pretty sure the quality of screen writers has been plummeting in recent years, and some of that might be, could be (is) down to the hiring of box tickers, and I’m pretty sure a lot of box tickers have a lot of wokiness going on in their little heads (and not much else), and that oozes out into whatever they produce.
Loads and loads of series start out with promising ideas, but you watch them and an episode, or two in, you just reach for the off switch and don’t go back.
IMDB is an interesting site. I don’t look at the ratings any more (which often seem artificially hyped), but read the reviews left by normal people (not paid critics) instead – it’s enlightening, and reassuring, there are a LOT of normal people out there still, and most of us are sick to the back teeth with the wokening going on. Almost unbelievably, that IS recognised by those with the money (who need us to keep buying their crap), but they clearly feel under pressure to keep squeezing that wokiness in (to literally everything), so, yes, they are definitely trying to sneak it in under our noses – it is quite sinister.
What I really want to know is WHO is twisting their arms to keep force feeding us this toxic brainwashing?
Big – canât recommend âbad â enough but you have to stick with it and Watch it – really watch âŠ.. then watch âsaulâ – then itâs 2023 or a week has passed and you need to sleep – the DVD box sets are pretty well priced and I get mine from charidee shops – but post people can buy them on the line âŠ
Big, I’m a regular contributor to IMDB reviews, and many commentators are getting more disillusioned with the quality and storylines in recent years. Maybe its because the older Directors are either retired or dying off, which leaves us with a new and “right on” generation of film makers which are only catering for their own peer group. One only has to listen the woke rubbish being spouted by ‘right on’ actors at award ceremonies – they have to be seen to be thinking a certain way, or their careers are on the line.
I’ve said before, I tend to stick to watching European dramas and films, where worshipping at the altar of diversity is not something that is adhered to. (recommend Unauthorised Living – Spanish, on Netflix)
Addendum: am currently watching a Croatian newspaper drama – certainly no diversity in this one ! a bit tricky with the names when reading the sub-titles – but its better for the brain than Soduko lol !
I recently saw something made in the Congo (it needed subtitles but there were none) but became confused at the white wimmin and middle eastern types, then realised it was the Antiques Roadshow or it could have been the latest Henry VIII biopic or something.
Ann Boleyn: “Had enoff o dat King, I neva dun wot he say, where me fried chicken ?”
I think they eradicated the original, quality drama writers when they dictated that new shows MUST contain a minimum level of wokeness.
The very best would refuse to work under such contraints.
I agree JohnC, I imagine many of the best simply said “No thanks” when they started dictating what needed to be included, which is the kind of thing the Nazis and the Commies used to do, when you think about it.
Bris, we’re still subscribed to Netflix, there are times when everyone in the family moans about the lack of ‘anything decent’ on there, and I admit you can spend ages hunting for the hidden gems, but there are quite a few tucked away, mostly in the foreign language sections.
These days we tend to skip the ‘English language’ stuff which is mostly either dreadful quality, or dreadfully woke, or both(!), and go for the foreign stuff, often with subtitles.
Have seen some great Spanish content when it comes to woke free, grown up drama, and proper sci-fi (as in thought provoking ‘what if’ drama, not American ‘Westerns in space’), most of the best documentaries are German, both science and history, very factual and in depth content, and they don’t go on (and on and on) about you know what all the time. Seen some great (woke free) South Korean stuff too, with CGI special effects that are far superior to anything made by Hollywood, AND with a decent plot and plausible characters!
Keep thinking it’s time to scrap Netflix and move on, but what are the other options? Most just seem to be different channels of wokeavision, except the BBC, that’s trannyvision.
“Experts had too much power over Covid lockdowns, says Rishi Sunak”

I used to like rainbows, now I’m not sure how I feel about them.
My uncle used to say he had nothing against gay people, except they stole the word ‘gay’, and, in his old age, if he said he and his wife had a ‘gay old time’ people would look at him strangely.
Yes, they’ve certainly sabotaged the word ‘gay’. At school there was a girl in class called Gay, and her younger sister was called Joy. Lots of old songs have lyrics containing ‘gay’, so I do wonder why the homosexual community chose this particular word.
Waiting now for Mother’s Pride bread to change to the Gay Pride loaf.
BRISSLES
I remember this song on the wireless.
”Girls were made to love and kiss
And who am I to interfere with this?
Is it well? Who can tell?
But I know the good Lord made it so
Am I ashamed to follow natureâs way?
Shall I be blamed if God has made me gay?
Does it pay? Who can say?
Iâm a man and kiss her when I can”
The looong article LGBTQ+ Pride: Firms accused of ‘rainbow-washing’
has some legitimate points
but how relevant is it ?
None of most people’s money has gone to Rainbow products
However our employers and governments are probably paying over the odds to buy such products .

Marky, I quite agree with the sentiment and the point you’re making, however…
This story dates back to May 2020.
I think most of us now realise that all the mask wearing was futile and primarily done to give a visual sign of both compliance and fear and keeping healthy working people house bound was economic suicide.
The difference is some of us knew this back in 2020…
When you said it back then it was as though you were a killer amongst heroes – “most of us now realise that all the mask wearing was futile” – now Rishi says it and people back him now it has gone and easy to criticise.

As an adjunct to Tucker Carlson I found Oliver Stone’s 4 part documentary series
JFK – Destiny Betrayed
It is relevant – as it maps out in laconic detail the lengths that bad state actors will go to to derail, misdirect any examination of what they’ve been up to.
It’s not often that I find a piece of work from a prominent auteur that is so comprehensively obscured in the public space that simply finding it via search engines is a challenge ….
Over the years I’d subscribed in part to the pushed narrative that Stone was a “conspiracy nut” – this series doesn’t bother really with stretches of imagination and near wholly sticks with irrefutable evidence (and indeed lack thereof ! )
The first episode is worth the series price alone imho….
Tomo – thank you – that is a hell of a dangerous situation . I bet mr Carlson takes great care crossing the road because the US habit of assassinating political enemies is never far from the surface âŠ.

Don’t forget folks, it’s that time of year again, The Notting Hill Carnival…
This is London’s annual late summer vibrant, multicultural love feat’. The BBC will be there, making sure they film every twerking policeman and every smiling black woman. The commentariat will gush about “the colour” and “the music” and they’ll battle to see how often they can insert the words “vibrant” and “diversity” into every sentence. It’s pretty much the same every year.
What’s also the same every year is how these lefty luvvies never seem to capture the inevitable mayhem as the event finishes and aggressive youths fight pitched battles with our law enforcement officers and go on a rampage of mugging.
By this time the Beeb are safely back home and Tarquin and Matilda have departed for the leafy shires, taking with them only pleasant memories, while born and bred Londoners have to clear up the mess.
I’m afraid I’ll miss Carnival this year. I’m attending a slightly different music event in Regents Park. A brass band, a deckchair and God Save the Queen.
Possibly not quite as vibrant, but on the other hand I’m less likely to get stabbed…
Yep – whenever the riot / carnival is on – I remember being mugged there as dumb white boy – I was rammed against a wall and searched by vermin – I could see maybe 100 plod watching me .
After ward I went up to one and asked him for help – he told me to âgo away â – probably about 1977 âŠ.. never forgot – ever since Iâve appreciated âdiversity â – and vermin âŠ..

Iâve just been forced to watch a series of adverts on Sky during lunch time footy . I can state with absolute authority that it is now a well established that white people are now extinct in the UK. A likely cause is global warming coupled with their complete lack of any survival instinct.
An existential crisis for the white, male lefty luvvies and voiceover artistes all out of work now ?
Forced into unemployment entirely because of their race, skin colour and gender.
Zephir,
At least there is little bit of justice in this because one of the groups most responsible for the demise of our country is the luvvie brigade.
Watching GB news yesterday, in a 30 minute period with Bev Turner, everyone she conversed with was non-white. A doctor, a reviewer by Zoom, a left wing councillor, a regular political commentator, either British Muslim, African by descent, or Indian.
Next to the white male, white children have no visibility at all. Every child in adverts is now mixed race with fuzzy hair. A lot of white mothers out there are getting paid a fortune because they have slept with a black guy. (I very much doubt its the other way around – black mother white guy)
Brissles – I think OFCOM has a target for the number of coloured faces on licenced TV vjannels and I think GBNews goes out of its way to be above the âcolour bar â âŠ
For instance they put a hopeless ex plod girl called âparm sandhu â to comment on plod matters âŠ.

These nutters are mad and dangerous,
Wolfie Smith grows up?
Dear Winston Smith,
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopelâs twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says âJon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didnât Speak English is out now.â which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopelâs twitterâs pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopelâs book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldnât BBC Jon Sopelâs twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax â to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it â thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.
âImpartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBCâs commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services â television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflectedâ
