Just over a week to the anniversary of September 11th – I wonder if the bBC will bury this news as the last few years proved in their lack of “reporting”, or maybe bother to mention the terrorist attack
If the news was something they wanted you to hear, they would go on about it for weeks
Perhaps the BBC could grudgingly mention “9/11” but find a new angle, in order to misdirect viewers. They might talk of a “statistical cluster of aviation disasters” in September 2001 or maybe “Sudden Skyscraper Collapse Syndrome” …
Joe Biden says Trump ideology threatens US democracy
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-62761428
Hopefully biden will be voted out in the next US election

I’ve just watched the whole speech – someone in the comments wrote that leni rebensteil ? Would be proud – little picture of Lincoln in thr corner of the screen – live band – couple of SS (USMC)in ceremonials either side …only a small audience – and his wife to guide him to the Lecturn and at the end .
The speech was empty and rambling and a direct attack on ‘trump and maga republicans ‘.
He referred to a ‘republicsn. Judge ‘ who referred to president trump as a clear and present danger .
It was like a declaration of war against the Republican side of the country .
No mention of current issues – Russia – inflation – China – crime –
I understand that a lot of US TV networks didn’t take the speech live – no wonder – it was about 30 minutes and by the end my attention span was going – 5 minutes was enough .
I still can’t see the purpose unless to goad president trump and maybe prepare the ground for his arrest by the democrat Fed stazi …..
Joe coughed quite a bit but otherwise stuck to the autocue . At the end they turned the lights off quick …to avoid us seeing the usual confusion …
IMHO everything they to eliminate Trump has failed and the candidates he is endorsing are winning. Now they are starting to get desperate as the mid-terms approach and the true nature of the Left is coming through: hate.
Lurch on the BBC wrote:
‘Mr Biden has frequently been a bystander to this reversal of fortune – because of his recent Covid infection and the inherent limits of presidential power’
EVERYBODY knows Biden is kept away from the public because of his mental state. Has been for ages and COVID only lasts a couple of weeks.
Either Lurch is a naive idiot or he knows this full well and is a complete hypocrite.
“Why you can trust the BBC’. I don’t. If they can get away with a lie, they will.
Yes the symptoms of TDS are growing more severe amongst all sorts of leftist Democrats and RINOs. They seem to be willing to go to any lengths to stop a second Trump term. The interesting question is why?
They are not committing these increasingly flagrant breaches of convention and breaking the law just for political reasons. There is more to it than that.
I think that as we have long suspected they fear that Trump will expose all the wrong doing that the US political class , from both parties, have been up to for decades. The bribes, the backhanders , the shady deals , the subversion and manipulation of the law , all at the expense of the ordinary American people.
In addition the WEF globalists know that he represents a huge threat to their plans for a new world order which sees them and their apparatchiks at the top and the rest of us as no more than serfs.
If they can’t get him with their perverted legal system they will resort to any means possible . He is an existentialist threat to them

Biden says ‘Maga forces’ threaten democracy
We’re still two months out from mid-term elections that will decide the balance of power in the US but President Joe Biden has been trading verbal blows with opponents over predecessor Donald Trump’s influence. In a primetime speech in Pennsylvania, Mr Biden called supporters of the former president’s “Make America Great Again” agenda a threat to democracy, who continued to drive the Republican party. However, Kevin McCarthy, Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives, responded that the president had “chosen to divide, demean, and disparage his fellow Americans” for disagreeing with his policies. Wondering what it all means? North America reporter Anthony Zurcher provides the analysis.
***
Lurch’s ‘analysis’ is worth preserving as the narrative collapses around them.
Only the national broadcaster of Great Britain could get its knickers in a twist over a country seeking to be Great again.
Also in the ‘mole… more ‘analysis’.

Why Putin will not attend Gorbachev’s funeral
The Kremlin would say, what is all the fuss about? Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences to Mikhail Gorbachev’s family (in a brief telegram). He’s also laid flowers at Gorbachev’s open casket. But, no, he won’t be going to the funeral. The official reason: no space in his busy schedule. Diary full.
That rather unconvincing explanation is fuelling speculation that, in reality, it’s not that Putin has no time, but rather no desire to attend. In other words, it’s a snub. Why might that be? Well, for a start, to those in power in Russia today, Mikhail Gorbachev is viewed as having been a weak, indecisive leader who let a superpower – and Russia’s global influence – slip away.

Bill Turnbull’s legacy
Presenter’s death prompts cancer check hope
For 15 years, as presenter of BBC Breakfast, Bill Turnbull delivered the news millions of Britons woke up to. And following the much-loved broadcaster’s death from prostate cancer, at the age of 66, he is being credited with encouraging “thousands and thousands” of men to get tested for the disease – saving lives in the process. When Turnbull revealed his diagnosis, in 2018, referrals to the NHS increased by about 20%, according to charity Prostate Cancer UK. It believes news of his death could have a similar impact and is encouraging people to check for symptoms. Find out what they are and what to do if you’re worried.

This was sad. Recall him returning to Classic FM recently and now this.
As one of similar age it does strike home.
A good friend’s Dad died of it and all were reminded of his words that PC was something you died with, not of. Clearly untrue.
That was 40 years ago. Never forgot it.
Hope Our NHS is up to the surge.
Sad news . From my personal experience the NHS cares less about prostate cancer than breast cancer . There is no ‘routine testing ‘ for the former – as I’ve described here before ..
I was refused a test even though I am in an at risk group – I lost a complaint about the local GP refusing a precautionary test .
For so many reasons I have no faith in the medical mafia / NHS and am fortunate to have top Jonnie private cover which I intend never to use.
All medics are about is gold – as nye Bevin famously recognised ….
There’s an easy fix to this injustice:
1. Start a campaign called ‘Not Only Men Have Prostates’, claiming that millions of ordinary Trans-Men/Trans-Women are affected by prostate cancer and need free, monthly tests.
2. Self-identify as Trans-Man/Trans-Woman.
3. Wait for the NHS to phone you the next day offering an immediate consultation.
There, fixed it for you.
I’m considering booking a double appointment at the Vets with my dog – at least I get seen !
The telegraph reports the average GP full time salary is £142 k pa. Huge but there is even more money that they gather up. They get paid extra for all vaccinations , all well ness clinics and they do deals with pharmacies etc . So on top of the 142 k they get another 20 to 50 k .
There is no doubt that some GPs get well over £200 k pa but they still can’t be bothered to see you! So of course many , particularly the women work part time and still get over £100 k .
As I have said before pay them a lot less and we would get more hours worked.
But it’s not just GPs . All civil servants have pensions most of can only dream of and critically they are indexed linked so even at 15% inflation they are sitting pretty whilst most of us see our purchasing power decline dramatically .
Britain is becoming a society of two parts, those who work for the government , can’t be sacked , do bugger all , work from home, get well paid and have gold plated inflation proofed pensions, and those in the private sector who have to work hard or get the boot, much poorer pensions and yet have to pay tax for the other lot.
How long can such a society hold together?
Retiring at a young age compared to the private sector really sticks in my craw.
Just before they chuck it in, they get made up to a higher grade, and the pension is calculated on that!
The richer ones, especially in LAs, just keep moving ‘jobs’, get severance pay from the old one, and a bigger rise at the next sinecure.
You’re dead right about a divided society.
Bill Turnbull always seemed a very nice man. Yesterday I caught a opulent of minutes of BBC but cannot remember whether radio 4 or BBC1. A females was saying Bill always spoke passionately against the building of Sizewell C because of the nature reserves in the area. Where do the BBC people think we are going to get energy when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.
Interesting contrast… Putin claims that there are Nazis in Ukraine – a lot of hyperbole, but not without an element of truth. Derided by BBC and other media. Biden (okay, he’s only reading the words written for him) slanders millions of patriotic Americans by claiming they are embracing ‘semi-fascism’. Zero basis in reality, but applauded by the BBC and other anti-Western media.
Hello Fed
I remember watching the videos of Biden trying to climb up the stairs to get into Airforce One, reminded me of him trying to hold onto a massive zimmer frame, but he eventually managed to get into the plane. Hopefully no rush emergency next time 🙁
Andy
After that – I’ve watched the full tucker Carlson . I’m slightly troubled by his premise. He thinks america has nothing to worry about with Joe and co because they are so thick .
I disagree – Obama and co had the skill to steal the election . They are a formidable opponent – and one which has had the true president taken down .
Like the UK – organs of the US state are no longer ‘neutral ‘ or ‘benign ‘ – they March to their own approved tune and dissenters need to be careful …..
Will there be much reaction to joe ? No I don’t think so . He is so discredited people don’t listen any more .
Thinking back on the speech – the way Jill Biden guided joe too and from the podium reminded me of a nurse in a care home …
Fed, the bBC and its sheep listen, which is comical in itself
Agree.

Partytime… all aboard Submarine Force One edition
One can’t help but note the large frontpage newspaper pic of cute white kids going back to school: …on Sept 1, also known as known as ‘Day of Knowledge’ (Telegraph) – of course this isn’t Britain – for one thing, within days of our kids going back, perhaps even before the bell goes for first break, our teachers will be out on strike (you heard it here first).
A different class – indeed, as the Telegraph explains Ukrainian educators appear to have a bit more spunk than our online work setting, mask-mandating, snow day closures loving shower: …in-person classes resumed only in schools that are either equiped with – or located near – a bomb shelter. Others implemented online classes, amid the ongoing Russian invasion
Another ripping crime yarn from the queen of fantasy (‘i’) – no, no, it’s not duff new clear up rate policing statistics as delivered by some Juliet Bravo-Cressida Dick-type chief constable. It’s a new crime novel by J. K. Rowling
The Daily Mirror passes on the police APB for the Liverpool gunman (well, specifically, the one that they’re feeling pressure over, the one that shot the 9 year old recently: Revealed: two out of three police forces hit by increase in gun crime… Northern England badly affected… (Guardian))
Black hooded jacket… Trainers with distictive white soles… Black balaclava… black gloves… – that should narrow it down. Calm down, calm down… Hooded track suit top and trainers… isn’t that just about every scouse chap these days?
In a press conference earlier, Det Ch Supt Kameen… said the gunman… was described as about 5ft 7in (1.7m), with a slim build. (BBC) – slim build, now we’re getting somewhere.
In case you were wondering the Det Ch Super is a bloke and he was sat next to the Juliet Bravo-Cressida Dick-type Chief Super Diane Pownall of Merseyside Police for least one of several press conferences so far. Of course he was.
Mr AsISeeIt likes to keep his eye on the climate change: Joint hottest summer… The Met Office has said. The average temperature in June, July and August was 17.1C, tied with that in 2018 (Times) – no, not that supposed climate change… what I mean is the perceptably increasingly more sceptical media attitude toward the recent supposed covid pandemic
GPs given record pay rises in pandemic. Wages hit ‘difficult to justify’ £142,000 as patients were turned away from surgeries (Telegraph)
Our favourite cartoonist, Matt, nails it in the Telegraph today. His average joe picks up his telephone: “Can I pre-book an ambulance for 1st October? I’m expecting chest pains when I see my new energy bill”
In defence news: Wallace: Submarines may be our best defence (Telegraph) – that’s our gung ho, full tonto, defence secretary Ben Wallace, presumably not revealing his new border defence strategy against the cross Channel dinghy invaders.
I’m guessing our loud-talking, small stick-carrying, Russia-provoking, Benny Wallace might be thinking of booking his own bunk on a sub deep below the waves – if things should turn nuclear. Not many UK comprehensives will have a bomb shelter nearby. The Guardian will be onto that scandal soon no doubt.
And what of that Partygate story which torpedoed the Johnson premiership – finally holing Boris below the waterline? They’re still investigating the ramifications of that celebrated birthday cake. Trying once and for all to defenistrate BoJo from his parliamentary seat, right?
Cabinet Office legal advice ‘devastating’ for partygate inquiry… Misisters will never be able to say anything if they think they can be found in contempt by accidentally giving the wrong answer… (Telegraph) – quite right too. If our politicians are banned – on pain of sacking – for a fib, they’ll all be silenced for all time – every man jack and woman jill of them.
Anyway, my understanding was that it was mostly the No 10 staff – the civil servants who are the big party animals. A report today in the Sun seems to bear that out: Serious bad altitude… Cost of living crisis, war in Ukraine.. civil servants enjoy boozy jolly on PM’s plane… A group of giggling Whitehall pen-pushers used the Prime Minister’s official jet for a shameless £50,000 jolly over Britain.
Gotta tempt them back into work somehow?
I think out Liverpool shooter will be back home in ireland by now…

TOADY Watch #1 – has Beijing Biden inadvertently shot himself in the foot?
Apparently, Beijing Biden has made a speech and he did not get the ‘cue cards’ muddled but in the right order. Nick Robinson, stale, pale and male, displaces the ubiquitous Amol Rajan who is over everything BBC Radio Flaw these days.
Nick has a cosy chat with the new BBC North America Editor, Sarah ‘Gravel’ Smith, who happens to be the daughter of former and late Labour Party leader John Smith so no bias there. Of course not. Sarah doesn’t exactly come across as strictly neutral though. A question not asked by Nick, therefore not answered by Sarah: could this attack on the MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump energise and unify the Republican Party like never before and get them campaigning hard for the November mid-terms?
Peter Whittle AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. My point really was about the language, saying something is “part and parcel” now of basically being a big city. It felt rather fatalistic. It struck me as being slightly fatalistic to say that. As you are the Mayor, your words will be picked over. Could I encourage you maybe to say next time words that have a little more urgency? I do not mean in the sense of trying to frighten people, but saying something is “part and parcel” is almost like saying it is rather like bad weather.
Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): It is part and parcel of our lives as Londoners not to be complacent. It is part and parcel of our lives to be vigilant. It is part and parcel of our lives to co-operate with the MPS. It is part of parcel of our lives to recognise that the bad guys want to cause us damage. It is not being fatalistic. It is a reality. It is not just my words. The security threat is severe. The Commissioner of the MPS has said similar. When I speak to friends in Berlin, New York, Nice, Istanbul, Orlando, Brussels, Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney, Ottawa and Boston, it is not being fatalistic, Peter. It is recognising we have to do our bit as citizens of this great city to keep us safe.
Peter Whittle AM: No, I accept that. You say that we should be more vigilant or we have to be vigilant. How would you say Londoners should be vigilant?
Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): One of the reasons why we are keen to restore neighbourhood policing is these police officers look after us.

Re: Boris’ kettle solution to the coming winter of discontent — I don’t believe this was an error of judgement. This is beyond bumbling incompetence.
The feeling grows that the elite know full well the disruption energy/food/economic/ideological destruction is causing and what follows, and will have war gamed scenarios for managing public anger. Boris’ comment seems like pure provocation at this point.
Not sure the Bezmenov model perfectly describes these times, but what happens next?
Just wondered if Biden is declaring what his doctors are injecting or ingesting him with?
A bad image keeps coming into my head of Elvis Presley being wacked with drugs just to get through one of his performances.
I would love to know the answer but not something that will be discussed on the BBC.

The British have always liked to turn the
conversation to the weather as a way of
avoiding contentious subjects. Unfortunately,
by the time I joined the BBC Today programme
in 2017, a show reaching some seven million
listeners every week, even the weather —
particularly the weather — was freighted with
political overtones.

Surely we should come down clearly on one

Misinformation resurfaces about pregnancy and Covid vaccines
Many Twitter users have claimed that the government has quietly changed its advice on Covid vaccination during pregnancy.
This isn’t true
Or is still on feet. Or on break. Again.
The assessment by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is that the health benefits from vaccination are marginally greater than the potential known harms. However, the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12 to 15 year olds at this time.

From comment
…..
The Ptolemaic model of the solar system held sway into the early modern age; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced as the consensus description by the heliocentric model. Geocentrism as a theory, however, never completely died out. In the United States between 1870 and 1920, for example, various members of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod published articles disparaging Copernican astronomy and promoting geocentrism.[51] However, in the 1902 Theological Quarterly, A. L. Graebner observed that the synod had no doctrinal position on geocentrism, heliocentrism, or any scientific model, unless it were to contradict Scripture. He stated that any possible declarations of geocentrists within the synod did not set the position of the church body as a whole.[52]
Apologies if someone has posted this already
Marianna “Fact into fiction doesn’t go” Spring has done a pointless experiment making 5 social media profiles and then shocked that social media feeds are an echo chamber.
Ironically at 3m30s she is reading out a response from Meta and she says “U.K.” when the quote (and article) is about the “U.S.”. For someone so obsessed with “facts” she couldn’t be bothered to correct herself when she makes mistakes.
One could log in and point out, but, well, The BBC and its staff have a fix for that.
Sexy choices for non gender lady Spring?
Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d 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 I’ve 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.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.
Cheers,
Mark

DISINFORMATION FOR SPRING AT THE BBC?????
Interesting spread of comments. Many not buying it at all.
Especially The BBC meddling in US meddling.

BBC Complaint Summary:
I take offence that presenters promote their books
Full Complaint:
I see that BBC presenters use their twitter accounts to promote items outside of the BBC
…. Katty Kay (The Confidence Code and Womenomics),
Jon Sopel (If Only They Didn’t Speak English),
Chris Evans (Call the Midlife)
Gary Lineker (goalhangerfilms.com) …
there might be more around.
Does the BBC charge the presenters for using the BBC brand to promote these items?
Does the BBC get a kick back to reduce the TV License with each successful sale of these products?
Can you tell me how this works … do the items on sale conform to the BBC core values and guidelines?
Many Thanks.

Another dead British ‘medic’ in Ukraine, umm… they’re always part of the healing profession when caught or killed, never soilders…
This guy was rejected by the British army but worked as a tree surgeon so I guess that’s near enough a relevant medical qualification.
Some Randle McMurphy Cuckoo’s Nest vibes going on here.. Nice hatching style soviet era type artwork behind him?

“Briton Craig McIntosh died while volunteering as a doctor in Ukraine”
A British citizen was killed while volunteering as a medic in Ukraine.
Craig McIntosh’s sister, Lorna, revealed on a GoFundMe page set up to repatriate his body that he was killed in Ukraine on August 24.
He said his (sic) brother, from Thetford, Norfolk, “died in action saving lives like a real hero”.
“Please help bring this war hero home,” Ms McIntosh wrote. “Our brother bravely came out (to Ukraine) to be a medic to help save lives in this war-torn country.”
“He lost his life in the line of duty to help others. This selfless man is currently locked up in a Ukrainian morgue and there is no way to help him get home.”
He said it would cost around £4,000 to bring his body back to the UK.
“He gave his life to save others and needs to come home to have the job he deserves. The job of a true hero surrounded by his family and friends. Please help bring our hero home.”
As of Wednesday evening, the GoFundMe had surpassed its goal and raised more than £4,900.
Mr McIntosh, who had two daughters and two step-sons, served in the Territorial Army from the age of 16 to 23 when he had ambitions to become a full-time soldier.
But an inoperable cyst near his brain meant he failed the medical exam to join the British Army and became a landscape gardener and tree surgeon.’

Paying for the rope to hang the west.
How much do you think the grid is paying for electricity from the new Hornsea2 windfarm ? High or low ?
The Times is reporting that Hornsea 2 has decided it is currently unable to take up its CfD contract at £73/MWh.
Instead, you are going to be paying it £400+ market prices.
(a total extra cost of £1bn for UK consumers)
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/wind-farm-contract-delay-diverts-1bn-in-savings-from-consumers-px85d9nlm .. archived
Libmob & Greenblob get a massive kicking in the reader comments
Remember gas leccy normally has a price of £40/MWh and can be instantly controlled
Wind/solar power is a different thing, that doesn’t have that advantage, so its intermittent leccy in a free market would have a very low price
BBCRadio Humberside at 9:10am just ran a fantastic PR piece for the new Hornsea2 windfarm
Kofi’s Friday’s show Good Things is supposed to be only reserved for POSITIVE stories
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0crzwgy
Listeners were not made aware of the fact Orsted have locked it into super high prices this year
And listen how the BBC presenter loves windfarms.
Kofi said “This is a really good one ! … energy …
Hopefully this one a little more positive
cos the world’s biggest windfarm is now fully operational off the East Yorkshire coast . Hornsea2
Patrick Harnett is the VP for programmes UK for Orsted (same guy local ITV newsPR platformed”
PH “lots of green renewable energy” (PRspeak not truth)
“a city the size of Manchester” (misleading claim 1.3GW output will not power Manchester)
Kofi “Can it help drive prices down ?”
PH “ABSOLUTELY
.. the more renewable energy we on the grid the less gas, less gas we need to import …
that mean prices WILL come down”
“this is a huge amount of extra power on the grid” (It’s not huge it’s 1.6% approx)
Kofi “Do you get much resistance from people when you say you are building more turbines ?
… when I see the turbine lights I think they are beautiful” (famous impartial BBC)
“It’s a sign of progress it’s a sign of a greener future” (More famous impartial BBC)
PH “Wind farms are more beautiful than power stations”
Kofi “Yeh !”
PH … “These turbines are 89Km away so not visible from land
… they really do produce a HUGE amount of power … blah blah ” (one huge wind turbine produces the fraction of a normal gas turbine)
“One single 6 second turn is enough to power a home for one day or 75 miles in an electric car” (Peugeot’s 208 Diesel did 75 miles on 2 litres on a road test .. you might use 4l)
13m Kofi “Honestly , that’s incredible those stats ! One turbine and look at all it does”
“Think how many of these turbines are off our East Yorkshire coast !
Mindblowing ! it’s a beautiful thing”
Item ends with Kofi playing “Dreams can come true” ..and him singing along.
Traditionally connecting a turbine to the grid makes the grid electricity MORE expensive
cos all extra costs the turbine creates.
25 years
Wind turbines have an average life of over 25 years. Rapid evolution of wind technology has lead to an increase in the durability of wind turbines.
What makes this project special?
At over 1.3 GW, Hornsea Two overtakes Hornsea One as the world’s biggest offshore wind farm. The project comprises 165 Siemens Gamesa 8MW SG 8.0-167 DD turbines which deliver 20% more annual output than those used for Hornsea One. The majority of the blades were delivered from the Siemens Gamesa factory in Hull. The project has the world’s largest offshore substation which delivers electricity from offshore wind to millions of UK homes.

Siemens Gamesa will continue to produce wind turbines in its plant in Tianjin, northeastern China, but they will be exported to other countries such as Japan, Nauen said in an interview published on Friday and added that the Chinese wind power market is no longer interesting for the Spain-based renewables company.30 Aug 2021

Misleading headline or just made up to get your attention
News is essentially PR for the orgs that supply the media with material to cutNpaste from
Here it was probably Birmingham Tories
BBC usually take the headline from a quote they are supplied with.
Oh the humanity – there is an insurrection in Britain . The seat of power has been occupied . The holy commons has been defiled by extinction rebellion ..
….. once upon a time I’d have cared – now I could care less if they torched it ….the people in there don’t represent me ….

Most here won’t be surprised … but the BBC’s utterly shameless mendacity breathlessly boosting “renewable” energy just never stops.
Greg Jackson, chief executive of Octopus energy is given a full page ad on the web site to spout what are at best grotesque distortions of reality.
Oh, if only the BBC were powered wholly by actual “renewables” – we might have less to moan about!
The chart in the second link shows subsidies paid to six offshore wind farms. Here’s who owns them:
Burbo Bank – Orsted (Denmark)
Dudgeon – Equinor (Norway), Masdar (Abu Dhabi), China Holdings (try and guess…)
Walney – Orsted (Denmark)
Beatrice – Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (Denmark), SSE (British, amazingly enough)
Hornsea – Orsted (Denmark)
EA 1 – Iberdrola (Spain), Macquarie Group (Australia)
In other words, most of the subsidies – running into £ billions – go to Johnny Foreigner. When they talk about ‘sustainable’, what they really mean are sustainable profits for overseas companies and governments.

Headline #1 “Just Stop by all protesters have got into parliament and glued themselves to the speakers chair”

Emma Hardy is now the labour MP in that constituency and Alan jokes it would be nice if someone pined for him”
clip of AJ “Emma’s doing a wonderful job

Duncan Goodhew being asked to comment?
Better yet, Gary. That goatee must be a drag when in mixed race competitions.
Melanie Phillips points out that the biased BBC are quite happy to give a voice to muslim extremists while suppressing that of Jews.
“The BBC’s perfectly sealed thought system
“Complaints about its bias against Israel and its indulgence of Islamist extremism get nowhere
…
“the BBC adopted the attitude common in the west ever since that Rushdie fatwa — genuflection to the claims made by Islamists about their religion which they enforce with murderous violence.
…
“it presents Israel as a colonialist power oppressing the Palestinians and taking away their rights and even their lives. Its interpretation of even-handedness seems to permit people promoting murder and hatred to express such views because, in parts of the BBC mind, this is conceived as a kind of resistance.
“This is in accord with the left-wing view that west is an intrinsic oppressor and the developing world is its victim.”

Calls for Egypt to expel BBC journalist following damning documentary
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180301-calls-for-egypt-to-expel-bbc-journalist-following-damning-documentary/
A lawsuit has been filed demanding BBC reporter Orla Guerin be expelled from Egypt in response to a report on human rights violation which “contains lies and allegations”.
The lawsuit was filed by controversial lawyer Samir Sabri before the Administrative Court of Justice demanding the Egyptian interior minister in his capacity as the Supreme President of the Passports, Immigration and Nationality Authority deport the BBC journalist.
Another extract from that Melanie Phillips article:
“… … That reputation is now under severe strain. The BBC is the broadcasting arm of the intelligentsia, which is now overwhelmingly and aggressively left-wing and intent upon cancelling dissent. The British public has become increasingly appalled by the BBC’s resulting collapse of objectivity across the board, taking editorial standards down the drain with it.”
Fact is, they can play their games of Ludo all they want, it remains, ‘Good riddance to a compulsive liar’ and that’s been achieved by hook or by crook.

Comment by Ahmed Kateregga Musaazi, Uganda
l don’t believe in witchcraft but I know that it exists. My religion, Islam, like Christianity, regards witchcraft as satanic. Witchcraft has partly survived in Africa due to the failure of Islam and Christianity to liberate their followers from poverty, ignorance and disease.
The solution is for the two beliefs to recognise African customs which are not in contradiction with Islam and Christianity and to strengthen the penal code to deal harshly with witchcraft.

One false thing he does is pout a firm narrative that Ireland was not part of colonialism that was England.
FFS if bits of the UK partition away like Scotland, Cornwall etc.
they do not get to say “colonialism was not us it was those Englih folks over there”
It was the UK that did empire building and Ireland and its rich were part of that
And colonialism is the wrong word too. Mostly it was not white people displacing local people.
Christian missionaries were part of it all… there was some good and some bad in that ..and the Irish working class in the church were part of that.
Of course various bits of Britain were seized by Norse, Saxons, Romans in history.
and a Scottish King came down to take control of England.
