Don’t renew that TV Licence! Cancel that Direct Debit! Don’t you know that there is a cost-of-living crisis war on? Perhaps we need a William Hodges as a BBC TV Licence Warden going up to people in the street telling them “Put the TV in the dustbin.” or “Switch that TV off.”
Apart from the news at 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. (twenty minutes in total) and Gardener’s Question Time (GQT) for the first time in ages (another forty-five minutes), I’ve had a BBC free day. Very pleasant. Have a good Bank Holiday everyone, may the sun shine on you.
What ARE you up to Up 2 ?? have you no hobbies ? no Scotch to down,? I bet you’re there, waiting for Fed to mention the new page then you strike ! You need a smack. š
Brissles, my dear old thing (I’m missing Blowers & Johnners already – as a child, when I got to August Bank Holiday Monday, the fifth and final Test Match of a normal summer would be in the fourth day of five and I’d get a bit nostalgic for the start of the cricket season just past) you have it all wrong. Am not short of hobbies or housework! In fact I was browsing a page that is hobby related when I thought ‘What wisdom had been posted by fellow BiasedBBCers?’ and re-visited just as Fed put up the new page.
The BBC produce the same old, same-oh on their web-site and broadcast it across their airwaves, too. If I want real news, a better source can be my fellow BiasedBBC-ers. After all, we have correspondents dotted about the UK in places that the London/Salford/Edinburgh-centric BBC never knowingly knew about. š
Choose any organisation or situation in the UK and itās in a right state.
Thereās enough to keep Mark Steyn going for centuries.
Look at absolutely anything, law and order, net zero, channel crossers, nhs, inflation and we all could fill the page with all the different things and how bad they are being run.
Our politicians are making a dogs breakfast of everything they interfere in. Is there anything theyāve made better?
There is a way out, vote for UKIP, The Reform Party, alias The Brexit Party !
The rest of the political parties have let us and this country down.
Have you wondered why the BBC has been left to rob us by the so called “Tory Government” ?
Operation Lock down – Fear, fear, fear!
Never again .
They have blood on their hands!
Taff, yes but I just wish the above parties could get themselves organised. Come on Nigel! .. Or even Mark Steyn! .. Or maybe Donald would like to come over here! A right wing party that was sufficiently organised might win the next election. We have three left wing parties to choose from at the moment but fragmented right wing opposition. Please the right, get yourselves organised ! The right will soon never have a chance again as Blair’s immigration to out vote them policy will soon reach completion.
I can’t help thinking that if we want to support Zelensky via propaganda, we should at least be sophisticated enough by now to not make a complete arse of ourselves while we do it.
Here are our reasons:
o Russia has lost tens of thousands of troops
OK – so they are sending tens of thousands more to man the triggers those troops vacated.
o Very few new contract (i.e. non-conscript) servicemen are being
recruited
And ?.
o Conscripts are not technically obliged to serve outside Russian
territory, the MoD said.
Western officials say some 70-80,000 troops have been killed or
wounded since Russia invaded Ukraine six months ago.
No Russian conscript will refuse to go because contrary to what the BBC tell you, the Russians support this war. They see it as a proxy war by the USA and those wishing to remain as the USA’s closest allies (ie us). And the second part is a repeat of point 1.
How about telling us the current rate of loss in stead of the total ? . The reason is obvious.They aren’t losing many people because they changed tactics.
The bottom line here is that as well as not trusting the media (especially the BBC) I don’t trust what the government tell me either. But after the COVID farce which is going to kill more than it saved, that’s no surprise.
For me the summary is that Ukraine are losing, the USA are fighting Russia in every sense except which grunt pulls the trigger and we are slowly but surely stumbling into WW3.
The only real hope here is that Russia think they cannot possibly win a global nuclear war and back down. That’s a heck of a gamble Biden is making. Especially considering his track record in Afghanistan.
America is perhaps desperate to prop up the threatened Bretton Woods agreement (see below) Saudi has moved to now be under Russian protection rather than American.
America is perhaps demonstrating here to the Saudis the Russians are unable to protect them, this might be yet another Mafia Democrat error, because the Saudis are pretty pissed at the behaviour of America of late.
Saudi is discussing accepting payment for oil in Yuan as China is its biggest customer, see below as to what the consequences of that are.
The Biden begging tour was not just to ask the Saudis to pump more oil, it was the beg them to stop getting so close to Russia and the BRICS countries.
It seems now though the die is cast and Americas collapse is just a matter of time.
Not sure I have enought time to write the entirity of the implications of this however, for a short prece.
There is only one jenga piece propping up the rotteness and corruption of Western Socialism, and that is Saudi insistence on being paid for their oil in US Dollars, which keeps the Dollar much stronger than it should be, and allows the massive borrowing which they can never repay.
Itās been made far worse by Biden in many ways, as if he is deliberately trying to destroy America first he claims he wanted to make Saudi a pariah state, but worse for them is the āGreenā agenda which threatens to destroy the source of their wealth.
So now the Saudis along with many others have thrown their hat in with the Russians who are now their protectors, and all it is going to take is Saudi offering to sell oil in other currencies to bring the entire West crashing down.
It is suggested this is what Klaus Schultz meant by the great reset.
The consequences of this would be hyper inflation in the US, the total devaluation of the Dollar, collapse of the stock market and America basically being utterly destroyed as a world financial power.
Thanks to the globalists America doesnāt really manufacture anything nor does Europe, and it is really going to suffer when this happens as appears to be the plan.
The War Against the BBC .
BY Patrick Barwise and Peter York .
ISBN 978-0-141-98940-Z .
On the back cover ,
āThere is a war on against the BBC . It is under threat as never before . If we lose it , we wonāt get it back .ā
If there is a war on , its a war the BBC started . An undeclared war it started because itās a Gramscian riddled organisation that starts culture wars against everything normal that normal people are comfortable with . The normal things are under threat as never before, and the normal people have lost it but they want it back .
As for the BBC , I hope itās lost soon and never comes back .
Sadly we can be sure that the BBC will survive if we have a Labour government. They will just make us pay for it out of general taxation.
Our only hope is that Labour , or a Labour led coalition doesnāt win power. Even then I doubt that the Tories have the guts to end the Universal License Fee but I donāt think that they would want to move to a general taxation model. So the opportunity would remain for us to bring the monster to its knees by more and more of us refusing to pay the License Fee. A few million refuseniks , and there must be at least that many who loath the BBC, would see it bankrupt in a month or two.
I expect David Lammy (MP) caught not declaring his LBC earnings is totally acceptable to Chris Bryant. The ex Labour who flooded half of Somerset and used EA money for nationwide ‘gay’ staff mugs. Guardian readers have special status when caught tax fiddling.
Make sense of parenthood ? dear God. She should just ask my dear old Mum, God bless her, or my Great Grandma who had 13 kids at the turn of the last century. What a load of bollox this generation has become.
Ms Powell says she is dyslexic and “not good with words” …
She said she felt being a teacher was too “restrictive” for her but if she didn’t sell her paintings she would go back to teaching.
Not BBC but a Guardian editorial on Sunak’s recent buck-passing revelations that lockdowns were too severe and that scientists were handed too much power. The Guardian calls this “a claim too far”, saying lockdowns should have come sooner and lasted longer.
There are several studies now showing no significant correlation in mortality between countries that locked down and those that didn’t. Some studies show higher death rates in countries that locked down. And I’ve yet to see any MSM report on the fact that countries already had pandemic preparedness plans in place before covid… that none of them included locking down populations, and that (amongst western nations) these plans were inexplicably thrown out.
Admittedly the piece falls under their ‘Opinion’ section. But isn’t that journalism these days? Poorly thought out, ideological opinion, with a few catchphrases like ‘following the science’ or ‘speaking truth to power’ or ‘beanz meanz heinz’. It’s brand narratives and lazy marketing slogans replacing coherent analysis with the hope that if you pump enough of it out, the next generation won’t tell the difference.
Avi Yemini has a scoop about his banning from New Zealand
He claimed official Interpol emails have been leaked
that prove that prior to his banning by a NZ immigration lady before he got on the plane NZ interpol had illegally decided to ban him They literally conspired to keep him out for political purposes
He quotes their law “It is strictly forbidden for the Organization to undertake any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character”.
Article 3 of INTERPOL’s Constitution.
The email said “NZ Police would like to stop the two from entering NZ
and URGENTLY seek any information regarding criminal convictions or any information tending to show they are individuals of bad character, associated to criminal groups and individuals or Far-Right extremism groups.”
They want to ban them BEFORE they have evidence
I note that the writer speculates the whole thing came out of a NZ media unit equivalent the BBC’s Mariana Spring operation
\\from the ironically named āDisinformation Projectā, headed up by conspiracy theorist Kate Hannah, and Stuff (NZ MSM website)”//
Context : Australian police wanted a win against Yemini
after they recently had to issue an official apology to him for illegally arresting him 3 times
Apparently today was “family day” at the annual black stabbing and mugging festival (God help the residents tomorrow):
“Dancing revellers crash through a bus stop ROOF near Notting Hill Carnival
The Metropolitan Police said there have been 38 arrests made at the parade today, including two alleged sexual assaults and eight other physical attacks.
Other alleged offences included drug possession, criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon.”
Not wanting stand on Asiseeit s toes -ā¦ the BBC news agenda is ā¦interesting ā¦. And reflects a bank holiday weekend when the kidults are in charge –
So they are excited by –
1 NASA launching another meaningless rocket to the moon
2 paki floods ( have to report – yawn )
3 coloured folk and the failing self serving NHS
4 nut nut wants us not to forget the green zero crap .
Somewhere along the emergency budget with 5% reductions on VAT and income tax thresholds donāt really feature ā¦.
ā¦
And Iām waiting for someone from red labour to say..ā not enough – too late ā¦. ā
Later today we can play the game where we guess which politician is going to turn up for a photo op at the Notting Hill Riot – Iām guessing Starmer QC with a couple of the coloured front bench girls ,ā¦.
Stop press
HMS big aircraft carrier has broken down ( again ) off the Isle of Wight.
Surely this is the ideal opportunity to use it for something useful like taking foreign criminals there are flying them directly to Rwanda bongo bongo land without dirtying the soil of Blighty with their presence ā¦.
No, it’s not inserting the word “like” and “literally” in front of every other word in a sentence, or start a sentence with “yeh, no”this is now de rigeur for our verbally challenged millenial morons, it is to use the word “vibe” to describe anything.
I think one of the worst is the use of the word ‘sick’, which appears to have replaced ‘cool’ when describing pleasure in something. As in “that’s really cool” – now its “that’s really sick”. All a load of vomit to me.
Has Mrs Merkel made any statement about the mess the EU is in yet? Perhaps the BBC will ask her for a comment?
It would be interesting to view the debates going on in the EU Parliament going on now?
Dino secured Mad Al and Femi to boost BS and Sopesā new podcast with how awesome the EU wasā¦ is?
But the EU have a fabulous wine cellarā¦ and a beautiful fleet of limoās š and the money spent moving the EU parliament to Strasbourg every few weeks to appease French greed is surely worth a few million EU citizens going hungry? š https://t.co/Fh8RPntkjW
I’ll say this for our BBC, they know what they like: Notting Hill Carnival returns: ‘Everything about it is beautiful’ – fully in favour there then, no questions asked.
Meanwhile the Times considers the state of our national broadcaster by referencing the 1971 novel by Hunter S Thompson, penned in gonzo journalism-style with its preoccupation with the failure of the 1960s counter culture: Fear and loathing inside the BBC after Emily Maitlis broadside exposes a divided news room. Deborah Turness will arrive next week to find staff split over impartiality, and unrest at flagship programmes
The Guardian summarises for us the pink-on-red friendly fire currently ricocheting around the media metropolitan dinner party circuit: David Dimbleby criticises Emily Maitlis over Cummings āpolemicā Veteran broadcaster says monologue about Dominic Cummingsā lockdown breach should have been phrased as questions
So says the comic book WW2 German interrogating the POW: “Vee vill ask zee questions, unt vee vill get zee answers!”
BBC Sounds gets it: Is it really that bad to marry my cousin?
BBC coverage of the war in Ukraine is something of a devotee of the tactic: Ukraine weapons: What military equipment is the world giving? ; How much grain is being shipped from Ukraine? ; Ukraine nuclear plant: How risky is stand-off over Zaporizhzhia?
Anyone feel as though they’re back at school? Hey, you at the back… are you concentrating?
I’m briefly reminded of that John Cleese sketch where he plays a schoolmaster giving a sex education lesson to a class of boys. He invites into the classroom a young woman and takes her toward a bed he has set up. “Do please concentrate class, I’m doing this for your benefit!”
BBC coronavirus jounalism has caught a severe case of the bug: Covid vaccine: How many people are vaccinated in the UK? ; Where are the cases the highest around the world? ; Covid vaccines: How fast is progress around the world? ; Covid rules: What are the restrictions in your area?
What’s the record for longest lasting, most persistent, story on the BBC online news website? That last report on local covid restrictions is date 26th January. I digress.
Here’s a batch of relative newbie BBC articles dated February, April and June:
BBC: Have I got Covid, a bad cold or something else? ; Covid: Why are so many people catching it again? ; How do we know Covid vaccines are safe? ; How long will my vaccine last? – you’d best refer to the previous question.
Suffice to say the BBC have nailed the interrogatory technique there.
And so it goes on with our latest crises: Why are global gas prices so high? ; UK inflation rate calculator: How much are prices rising for you?
Does this sound like news reporting or some duff supply teacher resorting to a class quiz?

I contemplated putting up the very long piece in the Sunday Times yesterday about HRH Maitliss – but then thought āno – let them stew ā in their swamp arguments ā¦..
ā¦ hopefully it is quite bitter with various BBC factions . But when you think about it – this is all about journalists – people paid for words similarly to those paid for sex .
They actually produce nothing . They are just meant to report on what real people do. There is never a shortage of them . But if they all caught a virus and died – would anyone notice ? Would they be missed ?
Then Yesterday https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fear-and-loathing-inside-the-bbc-after-emily-maitlis-broadside-exposes-a-divided-news-room-9n9fbgt2h
Times article top comments
“This comment violated our policy.”
“This comment violated our policy.”
“This comment violated our policy.”
Looks like people posted against her view and the comments were wiped
#4 āMaitlisās view, shared by many younger staff in particular, is that the BBC should not give equal weight to good and bad arguments.ā
But who is the arbiter of what is a āgoodā argument, or what is a ābadā one?
There is something funny. I usually search for the biggest Twitter thread on the story
but there wasn’t one
..15 people tweeted the link, but there was not one reply.
“Notting Hill Carnival returns: āEverything about it is beautifulā”
Sums up everything that is sick and twisted about the bbc in a few deceitful, lying, words.
Disinformation expert required to deal with the lying bbc as the truth is reported elsewhere, as I posted yesterday:
āNotting Hill Carnival is āfrightening and drives residents from their homes,ā poll finds
Nine out of ten residents living along the route of the Notting Hill Carnival flee their homes to escape the āfrightening and intimidatingā event, research showed today.
Many are so fed up with the noise and nuisance they are forced to leave every August Bank Holiday while some businesses resort to boarding up their shop fronts.
Many officials have shied away from addressing the security challenges posed by the event to date, viewing it as a ātabooā subject inextricably linked to community relations.
Yet the poll found that almost seven in ten residents felt anti-social behaviour was a major problem. The cost of policing the Carnival now exceeds Ā£8 million and a third of Met Police resources are diverted to the event during the bank holiday weekend. ā

They had that Rory Stewart on . At one time he was favoured as a future PM . He was sec state for giving tax payers money to foreigners .. he now says we should just give them money . He admitted that what he had been doing as a minister was a āwasteā
The bbc troll didnāt follow up and ask how much taxpayers ā money was / is wasted giving it to foreigners – and what we get it response.
Now he want to just give foreigners money – not just in this country but in other countries .
Earlier the Today programme was talking about British people thinking they will not survive the winter because of fuel and inflation costs .
But there is no connection between these horrors .
The new PM must close the giving away of money to foreigners , itās needed here, itās needed now . It would save ten billion .
One estimate suggests that the Uk could be paying 100 billion in interest payments pretty soon – thatās more than the cost of state education .
A sane PM please ā¦.
By the way – labour Red suggest freezing fuel cost rises for 6 months at a cost of Ā£30 billion – maybe more – surely if this was on the cards the overseas aid giveaway budget could contribute to this ā¦ ? ( not an idea I favour ) ā¦
There is also a call to privatise energy companies . Well EDF is French state owned and E On is – I think – German – so of the big 3 – not possible ā¦.
Can the BBC’s flagship ‘Today’ programme face down a challenge from opinionated podcasts? Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel’s new Global show and Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart’s The Rest Is Politics are offering a different takes on the news
#CCBGB what there were. Hope the backers have deep pockets.
Something about bent journos talking to bent plod . But they had that retired failed chief of Manchester – Pete Fahy – on as their regular lefty ex plod . He is never asked about Paki rape gangs – or his efforts to suppress action against them to āpreserve community relations āā¦ but then again – itās the bbc – just as culpable ā¦.
Alarmist reports of the Yangtse river in China drying up in the ‘drought’ and revealing 600 year old statues of the Bhudda.
Throughout all this hysterical reporting does it never occur to anyone that 600 years ago the level of the river was as low as this, and the people living there thought it safe and appropriate to carve this statue?
How long ago is it since it was submerged and what caused that?
Climate change or the Earth simply returning to how it was once in history.
TOADY Watch #1 – funny how that CO2 and Global Warming and Climate Change keeps disappearing
Now you hear about it, now you don’t: Climate Change was all the rage on TOADY in the twenty minutes up to 7 a.m. and again after the news. Floods in Pakistan and olives plus fruit & veg in Spain. Then hey ho! Like cards or wristwatches or money into a magician’s proferred top hat, it all disappears and we are on to NASA’s new rocket. It is all “Don’t mention the energy used and don’t mention the heat from the engines or the CO2 emissions.”
If the BBC were at all consistent, they would be questioning the wisdom of a space mission at a time of energy-crisis and cost-of-living-crisis as well as the CO2 emissions but they do not. Instead they send Rebecca Morrelle on a TellyTax funded ‘jolly’ to Florida to watch the launch! The BBC: in consistent and over there. The sooner the BBC are just plain over, the better.

The bit that gets me is that when a subject is āapproved ā they become full on enthusiastic – āare you excited ?ā ā are they excited ?ā āIs the excitement growing ?ā
Not difficult to list āapproved ā subjects -but we can play that game all day ā¦

He signed off along the lines ofā¦. āThatās all for now Joanneā
Our Jo jumped straight down his throatā¦ āPlease call me Joanna, my friends call me Joanneā with a stoney voice!
There followed an awkward silence as the bloke mumbled and was visibly humiliated.
OK he should have known but a very unprofessional and awkward moment, live on screen that spoke volumes. A quiet word off-air would have been much more gracious.
When BBC reporters used to interview Alex Ferguson post-match, they often called him “Alec” informally.
Never understood why but it didn’t seem to bother the famous Socialist and “hairdryer.”
Having no living relatives and no children to care about, it’s no wonder that, at my age, I have arrived at the point where I can look at the world and events and genuinely say, “couldn’t give a sh*t” about what happens. But no. I am increasingly concerned that as things are sliding so quickly now toward black/muslim rule/WEF control in this country, I may well wind up being a, ‘Dhimmi’ even in my few remaining years.
“Dhimmitude – The Status of Non-Muslim Minorities Under Islamic Rule”
Interesting piece in the DT about the need to āreform ā or as I prefer – end the NHS.
The comments state that the NHS employs 120 000 doctors – but only 7600 are trained in the UK each year – hence shortages ā reliance on foreigners with dodgy qualifications .
Also – it seems only 5% or wages is spent on āfront line ā pay – which suppose means the main medical types such as doctors , nurses , radiology types and the like ā¦ but the rest ?
I donāt think I have heard a serious discussion of the NHS on the BBC – the standard union supported stance is more money .
But where exactly does it go ?
Then add emotion and personal good/ bad experience to the mix and around around the wheels of the bus go ā¦.
But if there are signs that the great British public is starting to get a Bit more questioning about the NHS / medical media that can only be a good thing .
I clicked on a link near the top of the thread detailing the Daily Mail’s coverage of the Notting Hill Carnival – of the 100+ pictures, they only have 2 that show people in handcuffs getting arrested – and they both happen to be white – what are the odds?
The peoplesā revolt! The BBC cannot deny it but I believe that there is now 2 million of us who are certain to NOT be paying the BBC TV license. So the writing is on the wall when they try to lock up those that refuse to pay. The BBC is a media mafia monopoly, and it due to end under (any) PM as its totally outdated and unfair.
A recent debate was on Talk radio and Taxpayers alliance on this campaign to end the BBC media dominance and once a public monopoly.
Earlier this month, LBC overtook R4 listening figures and overall Commercial radio listeners overtook the entire UK BBC radio output for the first time ever. We have freedom at last to choose!, – and we don’t want a media dinosaur BBC full of bias, vices and sex adventures and financial pay awards that are āhiddenā from the public. We have had enough. We really all have.The whole ruddy lot of them.
Phillip – Iām not an LBC listener – ever – but I get the impression it has moved to the Left and therefore might be taking up disenchanted R4 types fed up with dramas about depressed āimmigrants ā ā¦..
Is this so ? Also – I got the impression R4 / BBC is catering even more for kidults – who – in my prejudice – donāt listen to voice radio like grown ups do ā¦. Which might imply that r4 numbers will diminish quite quickly ā¦..
Thereās no comedy – no drama – dumb documentaries – plenty of ethnic dross – and wimminsā hour s ā¦and hours ā¦. .
Apparantly at the weekend Andrew Rawnsely the chief political correspondent at the Guardian wrote:
” ‘Without action to protect people from colossal increases in their bills, there is a very serious risk that we will see the unravelling of the fabric of society’ Do we have the operational capacity to deal with wide-spread riots as well as routine policing?”
Most of us have seen this coming long long before it got here, and comrade Boris the Red and his gang of socialists sat back and fiddled while the coming catastrophy approached.
Now it’s upon us and fellow useless incompetent Tory Socialist wannabe Liz Truss bleats about lowering VAT and taxes and diching out money like it was water.
Not a thought in her empty head of doing something to fix the problem, because that’s not what the Tories do. There will be no move to build new coal or oil fired power stations, because they’re not ‘Green’. There will be no moves to open coal mines or undertake fracking because they’re ‘not green’.
And so eventually the money will run out and the problem will remain unsolved, and until people like Truss are dangling upside down from lamp posts they will not get it through their thick heads that it doesn’t matter if global warming happens in 50 or a hundred years if everyone here has frozen to death.
Why is the media not all over Mark Carney ?
December 2019 ‘Investors get out of fossil fuel investments now
cos they are going to crash with STRANDED ASSETS”
#ExpertNutters Speaking to the Today programme, he re-iterated his warning
that unless firms woke up to what he called the climate crisis, many of their assets would become worthless.
a) Peruvian Harvard student arrived in Bali on honeymoon with a quarter of a kilo of marijuana and marijuana-based brownies, which in Indonesian law is identical to importing a quarter of a kilo of heroin
b) student was arrested and detained, weed confiscated, left with three separate prescription anti-psychotic medications
c) student appears to have taken an overdose of those medications, after realising that this is the worst decision you could have possibly made in your life. Died in hospital
BBC’s angle is ‘transgender discrimination’ (deceased was FTM transgender) and ‘racism’ (wtf would Indonesian police be racist against a Peruvian person who is whiter than them?).
As a double whammy, the unnamed journalist who wrote this has misrepresented the law by saying that the police said that the ‘misuse’ or ‘abuse’ is because they brought a large quantity. However in Indonesian law there is no medical usage allowed of marijuana, as it’s classified as Class 1, it’s explicitly prohibited from medical use, so the abuse/misuse is complete at the point of possession/import. While it’s possible that the police got it wrong, they don’t actually post a complete quotation of what the police officer said, so you are left wondering whether the journalist misunderstood the law, or the police officer did. Either way, it’s horribly bad and dangerous journalism, because someone reading it would be led to conclude that it’s legal to bring a small quantity of marijuana to Indonesia with a prescription, and it just is not. Ever.
Translation of BBC tweet The transgender who died in Bali
brought a doctor’s letter stating that he needed 40mg-80mg of medical marijuana per day,
but the police said there was suspicion of abuse because he brought “a lot”, 231.65 grams.
coloured people injured by falling through a bus stop roof are treated less quickly than whitees who do the same – research has found .

BTW – did the coloured folk get injured by their cultural adventure ā¦?
As I said in earlier posts the state is doing an amazing job of propagandising the problem away by pointing the finger at the wrong source which anyone who had even half a brain cell who stopped to think about it would quickly realise was clear falsehood.
Why is electricity so expensive if the alternative ‘free’ energy we spent so much money on and despoiled our countryside with works as we were promised it would?
It was mentioned in th DT letters page about the uncanny resemblance that Net Zero and COVID have in common. Both are based on national lock down and disabling local and national industry. Only Big Pharma allowed with New (untested) vaccines allowed in and that is where the NHS link comes in (again). Huge profits in failed NHS face masks (from China) held in shipping containers, and each vaccine dose cost us Ā£25 tax to pay for it. The BBC are keen on lockdowns and even more keen on Net-Zero. You have to ask whats the connection and it all started with Agenda 21. The end off.
I can hardly wait for Agenda 30 when its all over.
Why on earth is NASA spending so much money on going to the moon again ? This was at first baffling until all was revealed when I read up on it a bit courtesy of the BBC ..
” The mission will send the first woman and the first person of colour to the moon ” aha, so that’s why !
Will this be the most expensive box ticking event in history ??!
If there are only four places will number three be a gay disabled person and number four a trans person ?
Will they choose those best qualified for the job or those who tick the boxes. ?!!
The box tickers will still not be happy. They will demand that lunar missions are open to all disabilities next. The woke lot already think all jobs should cater for disabled people including wheelchair roof tiling.
No self-respecting Person of Color would want to travel to space on a white rocket, nor would any Wimmin’ want to fly onboard a phallic shaped rocket, nor would any person committed to Diversity Inclusion & Equity (DIE) go anywhere near a rocket with an orange fuel tank, which is clearly meant as homage to President Trump. And let us never forget the ‘hidden voices’ of NASSA, or that Zambia was inches away from landing people (and cats) on Mars…

Where’s Boris? He should get over to Pakistan post haste and meet Pakistan’s new leader and make pledges to build a new city alongside Bradford. A GP and dentist for every ten migrants.
Ideal Boris territory: invite the millions of homeless Pakistanis to the UK after all, Treason May’s Refugee Compact still stands…………………
Despite all the kafuffle about illegal ‘migrants’ coming over the Channel and ways to stop that, the UK has still not withdrawn from the Refugee Compact. Strange.

“EU faces awful winters without gas cap – minister”
“Countries backing Ukraine are trying to cut imports of Russian gas and oil.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62710522
Didn’t they all laugh at President Trump when he told them not to import gas from Russia?
”It wants to land the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon”
So Nasa wants to advertise furniture sales from the Moon.
—————————–
Until now I never doubted that there was a Moon landing 50 years ago. But so many lies and dishonest reporting is pushing me into the sceptic camp. And I have learned that trickery need not be exposed, that thousands of people can be kept quiet about the truth, as we have seen with the climate change hoax.
Armstrong and Aldrin left a plaque on the Moon which reads:
“Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”
Maybe they’re going to put right this despoilment, which mentions only men, mankind, the Christian faith (A.D.) and indeed, people with feet.
My experience of education in 1969, was that if a scientist points out errors in a Computer Model, other scientists then give the spacecraft a course correction.
But today if a scientist points out errors in a Computer Model, the scientist will either be sacked or keep quiet. And therefore it is probable that the spacecraft is going to be lost in space.

Ukraine war: Russian recruitment drive unlikely to have impact – UK
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62705001
I can’t help thinking that if we want to support Zelensky via propaganda, we should at least be sophisticated enough by now to not make a complete arse of ourselves while we do it.
Here are our reasons:
o Russia has lost tens of thousands of troops
OK – so they are sending tens of thousands more to man the triggers those troops vacated.
o Very few new contract (i.e. non-conscript) servicemen are being
recruited
And ?.
o Conscripts are not technically obliged to serve outside Russian
territory, the MoD said.
Western officials say some 70-80,000 troops have been killed or
wounded since Russia invaded Ukraine six months ago.
No Russian conscript will refuse to go because contrary to what the BBC tell you, the Russians support this war. They see it as a proxy war by the USA and those wishing to remain as the USA’s closest allies (ie us). And the second part is a repeat of point 1.
How about telling us the current rate of loss in stead of the total ? . The reason is obvious.They aren’t losing many people because they changed tactics.
The bottom line here is that as well as not trusting the media (especially the BBC) I don’t trust what the government tell me either. But after the COVID farce which is going to kill more than it saved, that’s no surprise.
For me the summary is that Ukraine are losing, the USA are fighting Russia in every sense except which grunt pulls the trigger and we are slowly but surely stumbling into WW3.
The only real hope here is that Russia think they cannot possibly win a global nuclear war and back down. That’s a heck of a gamble Biden is making. Especially considering his track record in Afghanistan.

America is perhaps desperate to prop up the threatened Bretton Woods agreement (see below) Saudi has moved to now be under Russian protection rather than American.
America is perhaps demonstrating here to the Saudis the Russians are unable to protect them, this might be yet another Mafia Democrat error, because the Saudis are pretty pissed at the behaviour of America of late.
Saudi is discussing accepting payment for oil in Yuan as China is its biggest customer, see below as to what the consequences of that are.
The Biden begging tour was not just to ask the Saudis to pump more oil, it was the beg them to stop getting so close to Russia and the BRICS countries.
It seems now though the die is cast and Americas collapse is just a matter of time.
20 likes
Not sure I have enought time to write the entirity of the implications of this however, for a short prece.
There is only one jenga piece propping up the rotteness and corruption of Western Socialism, and that is Saudi insistence on being paid for their oil in US Dollars, which keeps the Dollar much stronger than it should be, and allows the massive borrowing which they can never repay.
Itās been made far worse by Biden in many ways, as if he is deliberately trying to destroy America first he claims he wanted to make Saudi a pariah state, but worse for them is the āGreenā agenda which threatens to destroy the source of their wealth.
So now the Saudis along with many others have thrown their hat in with the Russians who are now their protectors, and all it is going to take is Saudi offering to sell oil in other currencies to bring the entire West crashing down.
It is suggested this is what Klaus Schultz meant by the great reset.
The consequences of this would be hyper inflation in the US, the total devaluation of the Dollar, collapse of the stock market and America basically being utterly destroyed as a world financial power.
Thanks to the globalists America doesnāt really manufacture anything nor does Europe, and it is really going to suffer when this happens as appears to be the plan.

The War Against the BBC .
BY Patrick Barwise and Peter York .
ISBN 978-0-141-98940-Z .
On the back cover ,
āThere is a war on against the BBC . It is under threat as never before . If we lose it , we wonāt get it back .ā
If there is a war on , its a war the BBC started . An undeclared war it started because itās a Gramscian riddled organisation that starts culture wars against everything normal that normal people are comfortable with . The normal things are under threat as never before, and the normal people have lost it but they want it back .
As for the BBC , I hope itās lost soon and never comes back .

Sadly we can be sure that the BBC will survive if we have a Labour government. They will just make us pay for it out of general taxation.
Our only hope is that Labour , or a Labour led coalition doesnāt win power. Even then I doubt that the Tories have the guts to end the Universal License Fee but I donāt think that they would want to move to a general taxation model. So the opportunity would remain for us to bring the monster to its knees by more and more of us refusing to pay the License Fee. A few million refuseniks , and there must be at least that many who loath the BBC, would see it bankrupt in a month or two.

Not BBC but a Guardian editorial on Sunak’s recent buck-passing revelations that lockdowns were too severe and that scientists were handed too much power. The Guardian calls this “a claim too far”, saying lockdowns should have come sooner and lasted longer.
There are several studies now showing no significant correlation in mortality between countries that locked down and those that didn’t. Some studies show higher death rates in countries that locked down. And I’ve yet to see any MSM report on the fact that countries already had pandemic preparedness plans in place before covid… that none of them included locking down populations, and that (amongst western nations) these plans were inexplicably thrown out.
Admittedly the piece falls under their ‘Opinion’ section. But isn’t that journalism these days? Poorly thought out, ideological opinion, with a few catchphrases like ‘following the science’ or ‘speaking truth to power’ or ‘beanz meanz heinz’. It’s brand narratives and lazy marketing slogans replacing coherent analysis with the hope that if you pump enough of it out, the next generation won’t tell the difference.

Avi Yemini has a scoop about his banning from New Zealand
He claimed official Interpol emails have been leaked
that prove that prior to his banning by a NZ immigration lady before he got on the plane NZ interpol had illegally decided to ban him
They literally conspired to keep him out for political purposes
He quotes their law
“It is strictly forbidden for the Organization to undertake any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character”.
Article 3 of INTERPOL’s Constitution.
The email said
“NZ Police would like to stop the two from entering NZ
and URGENTLY seek any information regarding criminal convictions or any information tending to show they are individuals of bad character, associated to criminal groups and individuals or Far-Right extremism groups.”
They want to ban them BEFORE they have evidence
How did the leak come out ?
“A trusted source contacted The BFD to let us know that Police were lying and that documents existed to prove that. ”
https://thebfd.co.nz/2022/08/29/leaked-police-begging-interpol-for-intel-on-avi-yemini/
I note that the writer speculates the whole thing came out of a NZ media unit equivalent the BBC’s Mariana Spring operation
\\from the ironically named āDisinformation Projectā, headed up by conspiracy theorist Kate Hannah, and Stuff (NZ MSM website)”//
Context : Australian police wanted a win against Yemini
after they recently had to issue an official apology to him for illegally arresting him 3 times

I’ll say this for our BBC, they know what they like: Notting Hill Carnival returns: ‘Everything about it is beautiful’ – fully in favour there then, no questions asked.
Meanwhile the Times considers the state of our national broadcaster by referencing the 1971 novel by Hunter S Thompson, penned in gonzo journalism-style with its preoccupation with the failure of the 1960s counter culture: Fear and loathing inside the BBC after Emily Maitlis broadside exposes a divided news room. Deborah Turness will arrive next week to find staff split over impartiality, and unrest at flagship programmes
The Guardian summarises for us the pink-on-red friendly fire currently ricocheting around the media metropolitan dinner party circuit: David Dimbleby criticises Emily Maitlis over Cummings āpolemicā Veteran broadcaster says monologue about Dominic Cummingsā lockdown breach should have been phrased as questions

BBC coverage of the war in Ukraine is something of a devotee of the tactic: Ukraine weapons: What military equipment is the world giving? ; How much grain is being shipped from Ukraine? ; Ukraine nuclear plant: How risky is stand-off over Zaporizhzhia?
Anyone feel as though they’re back at school? Hey, you at the back… are you concentrating?
I’m briefly reminded of that John Cleese sketch where he plays a schoolmaster giving a sex education lesson to a class of boys. He invites into the classroom a young woman and takes her toward a bed he has set up. “Do please concentrate class, I’m doing this for your benefit!”
BBC coronavirus jounalism has caught a severe case of the bug: Covid vaccine: How many people are vaccinated in the UK? ; Where are the cases the highest around the world? ; Covid vaccines: How fast is progress around the world? ; Covid rules: What are the restrictions in your area?
What’s the record for longest lasting, most persistent, story on the BBC online news website? That last report on local covid restrictions is date 26th January. I digress.
Here’s a batch of relative newbie BBC articles dated February, April and June:
BBC: Have I got Covid, a bad cold or something else? ; Covid: Why are so many people catching it again? ; How do we know Covid vaccines are safe? ; How long will my vaccine last? – you’d best refer to the previous question.
Suffice to say the BBC have nailed the interrogatory technique there.
And so it goes on with our latest crises: Why are global gas prices so high? ; UK inflation rate calculator: How much are prices rising for you?
Does this sound like news reporting or some duff supply teacher resorting to a class quiz?

“Notting Hill Carnival returns: āEverything about it is beautifulā”
Sums up everything that is sick and twisted about the bbc in a few deceitful, lying, words.
Disinformation expert required to deal with the lying bbc as the truth is reported elsewhere, as I posted yesterday:
āNotting Hill Carnival is āfrightening and drives residents from their homes,ā poll finds
Nine out of ten residents living along the route of the Notting Hill Carnival flee their homes to escape the āfrightening and intimidatingā event, research showed today.
Many are so fed up with the noise and nuisance they are forced to leave every August Bank Holiday while some businesses resort to boarding up their shop fronts.
Many officials have shied away from addressing the security challenges posed by the event to date, viewing it as a ātabooā subject inextricably linked to community relations.
Yet the poll found that almost seven in ten residents felt anti-social behaviour was a major problem. The cost of policing the Carnival now exceeds Ā£8 million and a third of Met Police resources are diverted to the event during the bank holiday weekend. ā

BBC schizophrenia.
They had that Rory Stewart on . At one time he was favoured as a future PM . He was sec state for giving tax payers money to foreigners .. he now says we should just give them money . He admitted that what he had been doing as a minister was a āwasteā
The bbc troll didnāt follow up and ask how much taxpayers ā money was / is wasted giving it to foreigners – and what we get it response.
Now he want to just give foreigners money – not just in this country but in other countries .
Earlier the Today programme was talking about British people thinking they will not survive the winter because of fuel and inflation costs .
But there is no connection between these horrors .
The new PM must close the giving away of money to foreigners , itās needed here, itās needed now . It would save ten billion .
One estimate suggests that the Uk could be paying 100 billion in interest payments pretty soon – thatās more than the cost of state education .
A sane PM please ā¦.
By the way – labour Red suggest freezing fuel cost rises for 6 months at a cost of Ā£30 billion – maybe more – surely if this was on the cards the overseas aid giveaway budget could contribute to this ā¦ ? ( not an idea I favour ) ā¦

Alarmist reports of the Yangtse river in China drying up in the ‘drought’ and revealing 600 year old statues of the Bhudda.
Throughout all this hysterical reporting does it never occur to anyone that 600 years ago the level of the river was as low as this, and the people living there thought it safe and appropriate to carve this statue?
How long ago is it since it was submerged and what caused that?
Climate change or the Earth simply returning to how it was once in history.

TOADY Watch #1 – funny how that CO2 and Global Warming and Climate Change keeps disappearing
Now you hear about it, now you don’t: Climate Change was all the rage on TOADY in the twenty minutes up to 7 a.m. and again after the news. Floods in Pakistan and olives plus fruit & veg in Spain. Then hey ho! Like cards or wristwatches or money into a magician’s proferred top hat, it all disappears and we are on to NASA’s new rocket. It is all “Don’t mention the energy used and don’t mention the heat from the engines or the CO2 emissions.”
If the BBC were at all consistent, they would be questioning the wisdom of a space mission at a time of energy-crisis and cost-of-living-crisis as well as the CO2 emissions but they do not. Instead they send Rebecca Morrelle on a TellyTax funded ‘jolly’ to Florida to watch the launch! The BBC: in consistent and over there. The sooner the BBC are just plain over, the better.

Interesting piece in the DT about the need to āreform ā or as I prefer – end the NHS.
The comments state that the NHS employs 120 000 doctors – but only 7600 are trained in the UK each year – hence shortages ā reliance on foreigners with dodgy qualifications .
Also – it seems only 5% or wages is spent on āfront line ā pay – which suppose means the main medical types such as doctors , nurses , radiology types and the like ā¦ but the rest ?
I donāt think I have heard a serious discussion of the NHS on the BBC – the standard union supported stance is more money .
But where exactly does it go ?
Then add emotion and personal good/ bad experience to the mix and around around the wheels of the bus go ā¦.
But if there are signs that the great British public is starting to get a Bit more questioning about the NHS / medical media that can only be a good thing .
Now clap .

The peoplesā revolt! The BBC cannot deny it but I believe that there is now 2 million of us who are certain to NOT be paying the BBC TV license. So the writing is on the wall when they try to lock up those that refuse to pay. The BBC is a media mafia monopoly, and it due to end under (any) PM as its totally outdated and unfair.
A recent debate was on Talk radio and Taxpayers alliance on this campaign to end the BBC media dominance and once a public monopoly.
Earlier this month, LBC overtook R4 listening figures and overall Commercial radio listeners overtook the entire UK BBC radio output for the first time ever. We have freedom at last to choose!, – and we don’t want a media dinosaur BBC full of bias, vices and sex adventures and financial pay awards that are āhiddenā from the public. We have had enough. We really all have.The whole ruddy lot of them.

Apparantly at the weekend Andrew Rawnsely the chief political correspondent at the Guardian wrote:
” ‘Without action to protect people from colossal increases in their bills, there is a very serious risk that we will see the unravelling of the fabric of society’ Do we have the operational capacity to deal with wide-spread riots as well as routine policing?”
Most of us have seen this coming long long before it got here, and comrade Boris the Red and his gang of socialists sat back and fiddled while the coming catastrophy approached.
Now it’s upon us and fellow useless incompetent Tory Socialist wannabe Liz Truss bleats about lowering VAT and taxes and diching out money like it was water.
Not a thought in her empty head of doing something to fix the problem, because that’s not what the Tories do. There will be no move to build new coal or oil fired power stations, because they’re not ‘Green’. There will be no moves to open coal mines or undertake fracking because they’re ‘not green’.
And so eventually the money will run out and the problem will remain unsolved, and until people like Truss are dangling upside down from lamp posts they will not get it through their thick heads that it doesn’t matter if global warming happens in 50 or a hundred years if everyone here has frozen to death.

Typical trash BBC Indonesia reporting here: https://www.bbc.com/indonesia/articles/cl57y9qz98eo https://www-bbc-com.translate.goog/indonesia/articles/cl57y9qz98eo?_x_tr_sl=id&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Basically:
a) Peruvian Harvard student arrived in Bali on honeymoon with a quarter of a kilo of marijuana and marijuana-based brownies, which in Indonesian law is identical to importing a quarter of a kilo of heroin
b) student was arrested and detained, weed confiscated, left with three separate prescription anti-psychotic medications
c) student appears to have taken an overdose of those medications, after realising that this is the worst decision you could have possibly made in your life. Died in hospital
BBC’s angle is ‘transgender discrimination’ (deceased was FTM transgender) and ‘racism’ (wtf would Indonesian police be racist against a Peruvian person who is whiter than them?).
As a double whammy, the unnamed journalist who wrote this has misrepresented the law by saying that the police said that the ‘misuse’ or ‘abuse’ is because they brought a large quantity. However in Indonesian law there is no medical usage allowed of marijuana, as it’s classified as Class 1, it’s explicitly prohibited from medical use, so the abuse/misuse is complete at the point of possession/import. While it’s possible that the police got it wrong, they don’t actually post a complete quotation of what the police officer said, so you are left wondering whether the journalist misunderstood the law, or the police officer did. Either way, it’s horribly bad and dangerous journalism, because someone reading it would be led to conclude that it’s legal to bring a small quantity of marijuana to Indonesia with a prescription, and it just is not. Ever.

Translation of BBC tweet
The transgender who died in Bali
brought a doctor’s letter stating that he needed 40mg-80mg of medical marijuana per day,
but the police said there was suspicion of abuse because he brought “a lot”, 231.65 grams.
News story from July 20 yes there is no medical exemption

It was mentioned in th DT letters page about the uncanny resemblance that Net Zero and COVID have in common. Both are based on national lock down and disabling local and national industry. Only Big Pharma allowed with New (untested) vaccines allowed in and that is where the NHS link comes in (again). Huge profits in failed NHS face masks (from China) held in shipping containers, and each vaccine dose cost us Ā£25 tax to pay for it. The BBC are keen on lockdowns and even more keen on Net-Zero. You have to ask whats the connection and it all started with Agenda 21. The end off.
I can hardly wait for Agenda 30 when its all over.

Artemis mission to the moon :

Why on earth is NASA spending so much money on going to the moon again ? This was at first baffling until all was revealed when I read up on it a bit courtesy of the BBC ..
” The mission will send the first woman and the first person of colour to the moon ” aha, so that’s why !
Will this be the most expensive box ticking event in history ??!
If there are only four places will number three be a gay disabled person and number four a trans person ?
Will they choose those best qualified for the job or those who tick the boxes. ?!!

Where’s Boris? He should get over to Pakistan post haste and meet Pakistan’s new leader and make pledges to build a new city alongside Bradford. A GP and dentist for every ten migrants.
Ideal Boris territory: invite the millions of homeless Pakistanis to the UK after all, Treason May’s Refugee Compact still stands…………………
Despite all the kafuffle about illegal ‘migrants’ coming over the Channel and ways to stop that, the UK has still not withdrawn from the Refugee Compact. Strange.

So Nasa wants to advertise furniture sales from the Moon.

Until now I never doubted that there was a Moon landing 50 years ago. But so many lies and dishonest reporting is pushing me into the sceptic camp. And I have learned that trickery need not be exposed, that thousands of people can be kept quiet about the truth, as we have seen with the climate change hoax.

My experience of education in 1969, was that if a scientist points out errors in a Computer Model, other scientists then give the spacecraft a course correction.
But today if a scientist points out errors in a Computer Model, the scientist will either be sacked or keep quiet. And therefore it is probable that the spacecraft is going to be lost in space.
