Made it !
I think those following the coming days of State Mourning are going to need a lot of stamina . The thousands who will wish to pay their respects to the lying in state will also need a lot of stamina .
I recall ‘doing ‘ the one for the Queen Mother – I was working for a government department in central which allowed me to ‘queue jump ‘ out of hours but those queues were memorable .
Very often I think it’s people wanting to be ‘part of something ‘ .
I’m really glad I am out of the country until next month with limited access to the msm .
Fed, newspaper industry is doing well out of it all. May be a boon to some of them.
De-Industrialisation in Scotland
Referring back to some earlier comments. I don’t believe Thatcher actually closed the heavy loss making industries in Scotland. The fact was that they were loss making and Thatcher stopped bailing them out. This might be a point too subtle for the SNP and their fans but why should we pay taxes to keep a few Scottish jobs going forever? Look at it this way, it was an opportunity to move forward and create new businesses and skills.
In any case the closures weren’t confined to Scotland.
I worked at the shipyard in Barrow and was shocked when the director Murray Easton (a Scot) told us at a meeting after 2000 that he was giving ELEVEN type 45 destroyers that we were supposed to be building to Yarrows at Glasgow. It was an entirely political move to help stop the indy ref by keeping jobs in Scotland, at the expense of English jobs
I’d forgotten about that.
There will be some interesting decisions to be made regarding the future of energy supply in the UK and whether Scotland remains in the UK or not
Nuclear. It’s pretty obvious that Scotland is a viable place to locate nuclear power stations.
Renewables/Green. Lots of locations for wind power and perhaps hydro.
Oil. North sea
However should we invest in Scotland given the stridently anti UK/English fanatics currently ruling the place? We could invest £Billions in nuclear plants in Scotland only to be held to ransom, Putin style, by Sturgeon and her cronies should Scotland go independent. This would apply to any energy investment there.
After all Duncan Bannatyne, a Scotsman, declared that he would never invest in Scotland again after the zealous Scottish lockdowns kept his health clubs closed after England opened up.
Flotsam, as I recall, the shipbuilding industry et al. were always out on strike at the drop of a hat. Commies rarely perceive the eventual results in their stupidity.
I know what you mean about the unions, but I worked from 1974 in shipbuilding as an electrician, mostly in Barrow, and we only had one major strike in my 30 years, that was in the mid 80s and was about holidays.
We mostly thought the strike was engineered by the company, to keep us all at home because work was slow at the time.
Flotsam, Gordon Brown kept Rosyth Dockyard going by giving them the two carriers to build. Shows how good a job they did, the Prince of Wales is alongside in Pompey with a leaky shaft bearing.
A very inaccurate comment. The two carriers were built in sections around the country and assembled in Scotland.
A failed linkage in one prop shaft, which is a very rare event, does not in any way mean the ships were badly built. Every ship is a major piece of work, and a certain level of machinery failure is normal.
Last post I mentioned what is keeping the media fed. Here’s more.
My Dad was a pro with Sheffield Wednesday, I wonder , should I take him along to a few games in his urn draped in an Owls scarf ?
Brissles, my dear old thing (the decider Test Match is back on today – weather and light permitting) you could do that as long as you don’t drop the urn on the terraces. (My first thought after reading Guest’s post.)
Hi Brissles- As a young teenager I went to Owlerton to see
Sheffield Wednesday play Spurs. Spurs my team were unbeaten
in their first sixteen matches in 1960-1961 season. The Owls
who were second in the table beat them 2-1.
The Owls had a very good team them. Ron Springett was the
England goalkeeper. Peter Swan, Don Megson, Johnny Fanthom
I remember.
I suppose the player i remember most who played for Sheffield
Wednesday a bit later in 1964 was ” Bronco Layne”
David Layne was called Bronco because of the cowboy on
the television series at the time. ” Bronco riding across the Texas plain. Bronco, Bronco , Bronco Layne.” Bronco got into a bit of
“trouble” at the time. But his trouble still goes on today. BUT
that’s another story. Maybe I will write a book about it one day.
Would of I seen your dad play?
Fossy, all those names are a blast from the past, and Bronco Layne was a bit of a pin-up with the school girls ! You were either a babe in arms or yet to be born in 1944-45 at the end of the war when Dad played, he also played for Raith Rovers. (funny you mentioned Spurs – my late husband’s team, and I lost count of the times he dragged my to the old WHL stadium in the 60’s and 70’s….. and memorable trips to Feyenoord and Cologne —– what you do for boyfriends eh ? )
Brissles, WHL Spurs v Man Utd. My usual companion to that fixture didn’t go, so I went alone. Will never forget that game. I, a Man Utd supporter, ended up standing amidst a load of Spurs supporters at the ‘wrong end’, all terraces in those days.
One R. Charlton of ‘1966 and all that’-fame picked up the ball in MU’s half, made a dazzling run to the edge of the Spurs penalty area, before thumping a typical left foot shot at the Spurs goal. Pat Jennings with an incredible leap touched it with his fingers but couldn’t deflect it enough and it hit the net.
I couldn’t stop myself cheering but found myself lifted off my feet by all the Spurs supporters jumping in the air and cheering and applauding as well.
********, expletive deleted .. sorry if this has been mentioned before but … just glanced at the BBC for a few moments .. ” we go to a school to see what the younger generation thought of the queen” ..
Some correspondent with a foreign name visits a class in Leicester where not a single one of the pupils is white ( there might have been one actually out of thirty but hard to see as she was only in shot for a second ) .. Discussing what they, as ” British” children felt about the queen.
This was depressing beyond belief. Every single child they interviewed was not of British origin. The BBC of course we’re keen to show how “British” they were. I wonder how many even speak English at home.
A couple more Queens or kings and there will be no genuinely British people left for them to rule over.
brexiteerkent,
“Some correspondent with a foreign name…”
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha?

maxincony , why are you wasting your time on this site?
Have you paid your your Telly Tax yet?
maxi – like all forum trolls – thinks he is more intelligent than everyone else but is too stupid to realise he is just a troll. The lowest form of internet life.
At the same time he demonstrates to everyone the utter hypocrisy of the BBC who are obviously paying license-fee money to the slimeball trolling company he works for (through an untraceable route I’m sure).
And every time he posts, he demonstrates he is oblivious to it.
What’s not to like ?.
With time intensive researched and carefully editted posts like those before and above, one is reminded how TVL payers’ funding was used by the BBC to provide support staff to Martin Bashir.
I’m sure that as long as other contributors reply to his posts Maxi will persist. If everyone ignores his posts he will soon give up.
This raises an interesting can of Pandoras.
I was pondering this after a quick surf on social media over lunch.
Where there is conflict there is profit; look at the military industrial complex.
And, of course, the media. Eliot Carver has inspired many.
Social media has taken most that is bad and made it worse. Opinion equals ratings. Especially if it is created to be febrile. And cynical opportunists know it, from TV anchors to PR activists to the weasels in their Mums’ basements investing £50 in #suggestedforyou posts scattered around like confetti on FB for their sorry little platforms.
I frankly do not understand the money trail payoff, but it is clear that posts are created to generate a reaction, and then reactions to the reactions.
I may be part of the problem, as I do comment, but some truly need addressing. How that helps the medium no idea, as their editorial requires linking to, and any trolling creep saying ‘you have not read the article’ lays themselves open to a primer on professional subbing.
Our pet weasel will not give up. Nothing in the body of work supports that. And while the temptation to leave the poor soul to scream at the sky in that barren desert of their own mind is tempting, it cannot serve to let blatant attempts to disrupt or undermine stay unchallenged, especially when too often using every trick in The BBC book.
In hence they serve some value, if not that intended.
I wish ….._
Oh so that’s what you’ve drinking tonight , Maxi ?
maxi, where is that apology that you owe me? It is quite pertinent this year and currently as pogroms were quite a feature of Ukrainian life in the 19th century as well as before that century.
I wonder when it will be that the term “British” is dropped as being totally inaccurate or indeed, “Racist”? Can’t be much longer, no doubt to the glee of the ‘Worlds Perfect’ prick ‘Maxicony’, he who makes the odd but welcome pit-stop here. I have no doubt that the World he craves is more akin to a,’Mad Max’ scenario.
““Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” – (Luke 23:34)
If we think of an Australian, do we automatically think of an Aborigine ? no, its generally a white person. Do we think of someone from India as white ? no, they are a variant shade of brown. Someone from Scandanavia ? definitely white. China ? yelllow tinged skin with slanting eyes. American ? well that’s definitely iffy.
I wonder how many countries around the world think of us British as any other colour other than white ? and maybe they would like to inform the advertising agencies of the UK !
Just listened to Elizabethan serenade by Ronald binge and it’s been with me all my life and is so evocative of her majesty’s reign
RIP and thank you ma’am
Question: What is the largest Empire today, or in other words, the largest area of land, under the rule of a single person in the 21st Century?
Answer: His Majesty King Charles III rules over 10,335,478 square miles of what is called the Royal Commonwealth. What was once called the British Empire. The “British Empire” changing to “British Commonwealth” and then the “British Commonwealth” changing to “Royal Commonwealth”. The King rules over fifteen separate independent sovereign realms. Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A Global total which includes British, Australian and New Zealand overseas territories, of exactly 99 territories on which “the sun never sets”. Used to describe the British Empire, and still true today. The sun is always shining on at least one of His Majesties Commonwealth Realms.
Heres a thought for Maxi Colonoscopy and his weekly running of the bowels.
Dare he give us some examples of the sites and forums he infests so we can see examples of the humanity, empathy and general behaviour of his cohorts towards those they disagree with ?
We are all aware of how this ilk are happy to descend into downright vicious abuse, racism and sexism when talking about the Toreeez innit, be they white, black or wimmin.
Heres a start for you:
“Rosie comrade 💙💙 anti tory. Born in the NHS
1,728 Tweets :
“Despite multiple requests, God seems to have decided not to save the Queen”
“Robert Smith of The Cure succinctly explains why everyone should despise the monarchy and the queen”
“You’re toilet as people”
Robert Smith? I think he is a man who wears lipstick and cannot sing. I defer to his great wealth of knowledge.
“A protester storming a stage and refusing to let someone speak is intolerant. So, too, are campus speech codes that restrict freedom of expression. A city official threatening to fine a pastor for declining to marry a gay couple is every bit as intolerant as a right-winger wanting to punish gays with sodomy laws.
There is a word that describes this mentality. It is “illiberal.” For centuries, we have associated the word “liberal” with open-mindedness. Liberals were people who were supposed to be tolerant and fair and who wanted to give all sides a hearing. They cared about everyone, not just their own kind.
By contrast, illiberal people were hardheaded in their opinions and judgmental about others’ behaviors, hoping to control what other people thought and said and to cut off debate. In extreme cases, they would even use violence to maintain political power and exclude certain kinds of people from having a say in their government.
All too often, people who call themselves progressive liberals are at the forefront of movements to shut down debates on college campuses and to restrict freedom of speech. They are eager to cut corners, bend the Constitution, make up laws through questionable court rulings, and generally abuse the rules and the Constitution in order to get their way.
They establish “zero tolerance” regimes in schools where young boys are suspended for nibbling breakfast pastries into the shape of a gun. They are supposedly great haters of bigotry but sometimes speak of Christians in the most bigoted manner imaginable, as if Christians were no better than fascists.
they are postmodern leftists. A postmodernist is someone who believes that ethics are completely and utterly relative, and that human knowledge is, quite simply, whatever the individual, society, or political powers say it is.
When mixed with radical egalitarianism, postmodernism produces the agenda of the radical cultural left—namely, sexual and identity politics and radical multiculturalism. ”
https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/commentary/how-the-left-became-so-intolerant
This is the actual meaning of ‘fascism’:
Fascism : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.
This describes the ‘illberal’ Leftists who are destroying Western society perfectly.
This is what they have changed it to on Wikipedia so it doesn’t include them :
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
Not BBC, but directly linked to the bizarre world of hypocrisy the luvvies live in.
I see the new ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ is going the same way as all the latest woke dross they are churning out these days.
They are now saying it is being ‘review bombed’ which basically means that racist/sexist white males are giving it deliberately bad reviews. So I checked the reviews and it’s not the low scores which are very clearly fake, it’s the 10/10 reviews such as:
Writing; mabye one of the best screenplays I have ever seen, as Lenny Henry stated quite a few times ‘we are writing this now,’ and he’s right, the writing is incredible and deep, thanks Lenny, for your massive efforts!
Acting; Gladriel deserves an oscar, Lenny Henry brings exquisite panache with an experience that shines and the supporting cast excel in this jamboree of acting talent
‘I could never have hoped for something better, there are intricate details for the hardcore book nerds to find, as well as engaging story-lines for the more casual viewers. Even the least interested viewer’s eyes will be glued to the astounding visuals. The casting/acting is perfect and the characters are well developed and likeable. I’m especially fond of Disa and Arondir. This is a Must Watch for anyone who enjoys TV!’
But of course none of these luvvie hypocrites ever go near the possibility that it might be ‘review bombed’ in the high-score sense and it is actually a load of rubbish.
It reminds me of ‘The Old Man’ I just watched. At first it seemed like it might be OK (with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgoe as the main – and only white male – characters). But I quickly realised that the writing was absolutely atrocious.
I’m 100% certain the composition of the ‘teams’ writing these things are based on racism and sexism (as is the staff of the BBC) as opposed to ability and they are given a list of wokeness they must include in the plot.
Lenny Henry brings exquisite panache to his portrayal of “Trevor McDonut”, a keenly observed satire on newsreader Trevor McDonald worthy of an oscar.
The following tribute contains a fitting summary at 1:20
The reason for chippy to get the knighthood .
The Rotten Tomatoes website is often a good indicator of how well a movie or TV show is received. Each has two scores: what the professional reviewers think/want you to think, and what the audience think. The ‘professional reviewers’ are of course the leftie-wokey-corporate worshipping-media types. In the case of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’, the reviewers rate it at 84%, whereas the audience people rate it at just 39%.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_rings_of_power/s01
A similar situation applies to the appalling ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ movie. The reviewers rate it at 88%, whereas the average audience put it at just 40% (which is quite generous, as anyone who has seen it will confirm, but remember that the audience also includes woke viewers).
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/she_hulk_attorney_at_law
An even more extreme example occured last year. A crude, propaganda movie about virus fanatic Fauci that would have even made Goerbbels blush was rated at 86% by the reviewers, whereas the audience rating was just 2%.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fauci
The giveaway on any woke crap is that the experts (sic) will always rate it in excess of 80%, whereas the audience will typically put it at less than half of that. It’s as unchanging and predictable as YouGov surveys that support government policies always get 73%.
Earlier today my elderly father was wondering wtf the term ‘woke’ actually means. After some thought he suggested it could stand for ‘We Obviously Know Everything’. Yes Dad, that just about sums it up.

Tomo – sometimes the ignorance of Carlson catches me
‘ america is the only country with the Rule of Law ‘ there is not exactly a need to fact check that one .
Interesting that ‘Latinos’ (40% ) think the election was stolen ….
I still don’t think they matter because the voting fix is in with big soros / gates bucks shaping the battle field ….
… I understand that the Fed is going raise interest rates ( 20th?) again which might be the real reason the Bank of England put off the interest rate announcement from Battle of Britain day on Thursday to the 27th …
The Battle of Britain day falls within Official National Mourning so with a bit of luck it might get a bit more attention …. And maybe we won’t get the usual talking heads saying ‘it didn’t matter because Russia won the war ‘…
Me too…
Strikes me that Tucker is a bit overtasked…
Sad passing of Her Majesty and thankfully no long drawn out suffering as some of us have witnessed with our own loved ones .
Avoiding BBC output with its constant agenda being pushed just as they did with Philips demise…nothing changes with a thin veneer hiding the hatred of the UK and British Empire traditions.
Meanwhile the Daily Invasion continues of our once Great Britain…..or have they stopped out of respect ? ….no obviously not ! !
At the start of the new era Cancel your TV LICENCE !
Still a bit baffled as to why the BBC cancelled tonight’s ” Last night of the proms”.
What better celebration of the Queen’s life and the loyalty of her subjects could there have been ?
Perhaps because it was being planned to have been a celebration not of Great Britain, but of Ukraine, the EU, diversity and a very different sort of pride !
But Kent – don’t you find it just an excuse for the current approved message ? Pity they couldn’t cancel the’ last night ‘ and call the night before ‘the last night’’ the last night ‘ er – I think …
I will miss ‘Jerusalem ‘ being done on the Caribbean oil drums by the ‘Brixton gay rapper band ‘ which had been promised this year ..
Fed, re Jerusalem; Good grief .. a year or two ago I would have assumed such a comment was a joke .. But the fact I can believe it was a true comment now says it all !
Kent
I was worried when I wrote it that either someone would believe it or the enemy would put it on …..
.. the desperation for inclusivity by excluding ‘ alienating ..
Probably some bright spark had Dr. Shola booked to end it with an End of Empire recitation, but even Timmeh! saw that might not fly.
I see Renowned Ancient Journalist of Impartiality Jon ‘Make Love With A Tory’ Snow is brining out a book to overturn Brexit.
Spot on brexiteer, that is quite obviously why with not enough time to adjust it back to reality.
Digg, I’m afraid that our old ‘reality’
Is no more . This is the new reality.
S.O.S. casting shadows edition
With politics, patiently, politely – one might say poignantly, off the press frontpages – well, mostly – the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper teases a tandem article by: Katy Balls + Waugh on Politics ‘A politcal King’ – our BBC online newspaper review is content to award poll poition to what we now may term HIS Majesty’s Daily Express (God bless it)
The now familiar blue and yellow borrowed from the banner of that eastern european former-Soviet province isn’t in evidence – not even set at half-mast on the Express masthead – nor displayed upside down as a traditional signal of dire distress. Instead purple and black are the prevailing national colours displayed uniformly at the mastheads of all the press pack.
So then, in the words of our BBC to: Other News
With the demise of our much-respected long-serving monarch casting quite some shadow over the usual news agenda…
BBC: Sweden election: Gang shootings cast shadow over vote… Gang violence and gun crime have increased in Sweden in recent years – now there’s a thing. Have the people who brought us cool nordic neutrality, hot saunas and Abba suddenly lost their minds?
This reader tends to balk at media mention of that most tedious of tedious modern liberal clichés: ‘most vulnerable‘ – one knows for certain a packet load of lefty spiel is coming and in 9 out of 10 cases one would be better served, intellectually, rather than reading on, placing a lampshade over one’s head, screwing a cruet set into the ears and whistling Dixie at the top of one’s… whistle?
Gottsunda is notorious for drugs and gun battles, and classified by police as one of the 10 most vulnerable areas in Sweden. (BBC)
How is it ‘most vulnerable’? Tell us, in precisely what – by means, way or form, BBC?
But despite Sweden’s right-wing media labelling it a “no-go zone”, parents here cycle toddlers home from preschool while middle-class families at the local shopping centre pile groceries into electric cars and bicycle baskets. (BBC) – that’s the Sweden we tend to expect and the very image of scandinavian greenie – indeed Thunbergian – utopia to which our lefty-liberal BBC would have us all aspire. So, pray tell, who’s doing the drug dealing and the shooting?
It’s not a surprise then that the [election] campaign has been dominated by the debate over the cause of this spike in gang violence and ways to tackle it. (BBC) – of course it has…
Nikoi Djane grew up around gangs in southern Sweden and he is now a criminologist. He points the finger to a growing drugs market and the lack of job opportunities for those living in less affluent neighbourhoods. (BBC) – of course he has…
“Today people are being killed just for stuff like honour and pride and petty things.” – that doesn’t sound very Swedish.
What was it Benny and Bjoern told us?
The winner takes it all
The loser’s standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny…
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
That’s the Swedish way.
And eventually at long last (like twilight after a long, long mid-summer’s day in northern Norrland) we get there: Sweden took in record numbers of refugees in 2015 and the fact that much of the latest violence takes place in areas with high immigrant populations, has added fuel to the debate over the country’s integration policies. (BBC)
And what dangerous bad things have that toxic entity the BBC likes term the ‘far right‘ had to say about the situation?
There follow some spittal-flecked outrageous inhumane rants…
“We have taken in many immigrants here and… they haven’t been integrated, maybe they don’t want to be”
“The most important thing is to stop people from coming to Sweden”
“It took us generations to build a country like Sweden and in a couple of decades, a lot of things have gone the wrong way.”
And as we here in Britain take this transitional moment to consider our own uncertan national identity and future, what’s so very wrong about those notions?
Asiseeit ‘vulnerable ‘ is one of those words used so much that it loses value – what it the opposite ‘ invulnerable ‘?
Is anyone ‘invulnerable ‘ – even the richest lady in the world succumbs to time as well all must . The ultimate equality under God – even for soros , Schwab, Gates , …
‘Diverse ‘ fits into the overused word list – a glaze over / roll your eyes sort of word
Thinking of BBC politics editors at this difficult time.
There is no wisdom quite like house journal wisdom.
It is said Di Abbott is a pol of conviction.
Maybe Clod could date Jr.?
Without looking I suspect the Guardian article is linked to last week’s Radio4 prog
on the same topic : The mental health of politicians’ children.
I can’t quite understand why football has chosen to be
the major sport to postpone this weekend’s matches
and very possibly next weekends as well?
Yes I can understand that it would of been more than
embarrassing to hear a section of the Liverpool IRA
supporters booing during the minutes silence or when
the National Anthem was played. But I expect that 99.5 %
of all others at the matches would of shown respect. As
for the Last night of the Proms being cancelled. It is the
BBC telling us that it is THEIR agenda on how their viewers
can follow the death of the Queen.
Possibly the reason it has been postponed is that at least
in the crowds at Buckingham Palace they can find a few “diverse” faces to interview. At the Proms they would have
to ship them in . AS they do with the Antiques Road Show.
And all the ” Land of hope and Glory” stuff possibly
would of driven their anarchist Marxist editors , sub editors,
researchers to suicide!!
None of this:
More of this
Palestinian flags waved at Labour conference.
The death of a much loved and admired person always seems to flush the vermin out of the woodwork. Horrible people love to say disgusting things. The recent death of Elizabeth II is no exception. Some of the comments have been beyond being vile…
I’ll mention only one…a Nigerian / American professor, who claims she’s both a “feminist” and an “anti-racist”(Blimey, a win double!) Dr Anya, I believe this creature is called.
She’s apparently Tweeted some historically illiterate cobblers about the British Empire and exclaimed that she hopes that in the Queen’s last moments “her pain was excruciating.” What a charmer…
You know, we don’t really need to do or say anything to defend our history, our culture or way of life when confronted with human cockroaches like this.
They do it for us…
Jeff
I found it ironic that the lady is employed by Carnegie Mellon . Andy Carnegie was a Scotsman – born in Dunfermline – emigrated to the US aged 12. Gave his huge wealth away – …too recent ti be a slave owner –
But the lady in question – being an academic – didn’t give her nasty twitter comment much thought …. I don’t think Twitter has ‘taken her Down ‘ which might suggest the owner of twitter consent or agrees with her comment …
By the way – I would not cancel her or anyone ) – apart from obvious non valuable trolls of course – and bots – that ever they are ..
I’ve heard that her revolting comment has been removed, either by her or Twitter I don’t know, but she’s not been reprimanded, banned or anything like that.
Like you, I don’t believe in “cancelling” people, let them say what they like.
However, I think it’s interesting to note that Twitter has banned a number of “vaccine widows” who have told, quite honestly, how their husbands died.
You can malign the Queen; you can, if you so wish, pour scorn on our entire culture and history. Twitter won’t bat an eye.
But don’t go for the vaccine…
Here’s more on that ordure ‘Dr’ Anya, and similar vile comments about the Royalty from deranged lefties.
Someone on twitter noted not much condemnation of the talksport Trevor Sinclair race comment . The usual makers of race noises – Ian wright – linaker silent …
BBC outlines King Charles’ future. Although he won’t be so interventional he will be recognised for being right on important issues.
Cop this
”Historian and author Sir Anthony Seldon believes King Charles has been fortified by being proved right over issues, such as warnings about climate change. From once being ridiculed, he now has an “Attenborough-aura,” says Sir Anthony.
At the climate change summit in Glasgow in 2021, for example, Charles was taken seriously by figures like US President Joe Biden, according to Mr Hardman, who says his status on the world stage will serve him well as King.
“It wasn’t just platitudes. The two of them sat down together in a corner and Biden was saying: ‘You got all this going’,” he says.”
————————
Wow. To be taken serious by Joe Biden is an achievement.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62849818
I was wondering when Blighty will have a full Queen again …100 plus years maybe …?
To be taken serious by Joe Biden is an achievement?
– It is to the Biden-loving BBC!
King Charles could cause lots of problems for the UK. The queen was different, politically impartial, a lady many different countries looked up too and by all accounts even a good sense of humour. But Charles, sadly he is a big believer in the great reset, even before Schwab. We need to be careful with this new king otherwise we could be signing our own and countries demise.
Apparently the politicians are doing their anecdote party pieces about HM The Queen … I wonder if many of those hateful SNP types will turn up ….
… as for the footy – would they have taken the knee again ? Booed the national anthem like a regular Liverpool / shamrock rangers ‘ supporter ‘…
I’m sure there are bits of the `republic ‘ quietly celebrating …
I suppose there has to be someone to make the tea and hand out the sandwiches:
“Nicola Sturgeon selected to sit on official council of King Charles’ proclamation today
NICOLA STURGEON will be an eyewitness to the formal proclamation of the death of the Queen and the accession of Charles to the throne today (September 10).”
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1667347/nicola-sturgeon-accession-council-king-charles-proclamation-royal-family-queen
I wonder when she’ll be calling for a dependence referendum again – and I mean dependence …
Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond where both present today, why?
If they dont want to be part of the UK they should have stayed home, hypocrites it seems.
Live on TV first time seen: proclamation of King 10 AM
TOADY Watch #1 – JustRemainIn Webb is really worried ….
…. that King Charles III might stop his environmental campaigning and Liz Truss might re-open coal mines, grant more oil exploration licences and start fracking for gas. I think Justin might want the new King to refuse to sign the Royal Assent for any enabling Government Bill. He talks to Tony Juniper, environmental campaigner, in place of the Bee Lady.
10:08am “As we remember the Queen we now speak to someone who was nearly first on the scene at the GRENFEELL fire”
.. now they have shoehorned in mention of when the Queen visited the site
On bbc no David Starkey, perhaps the most qualified person to comment on the hstory and Constitution but guess what the bbc have found……with dreadlocks.
You can imagine the desperation behind the scenes at the racist bbc:
Wheres the blacks we can get to talk constitution on tv ? hang on we’ve found another one ….group w@nk into our lattes its someone from a college as well
According to Wikipedea:
Starkey was widely censured for a racist comment he made during a podcast interview with Darren Grimes in June 2020, for which he later apologised. Immediately afterwards, he resigned as an honorary fellow of his alma mater, Fitzwilliam College, had several honorary doctorates and fellowships revoked, book contracts and memberships of learned societies cancelled, and his Medlicott Medal withdrawn.
what he said was:
“this language which is wholly false, which is this Jamaican patois that’s been intruded in England, and this is why so many of us have this sense of literally a foreign country”, that listening to the voice of the black MP for Tottenham where the riots occurred “you would think he was white” and that “The whites have become black. A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture.”
Starkey was of course on GBNews, on top form, a veritable oracle of our constitution.
I just wish he could go quiet for 5 seconds instead of debating Anne Boleyn v lady Jane grey ….spoilt it for me – too many words …
As for HRH alistair Stewart …. Nuff said ..
Just watched Charles III signing
Hang on … Khant is almost in the front row!
blimey… the little creep is a Privy Councillor!
More privy than councillor
After a bit of looking – seems like the Privy Council isn’t so much a collection of sages to advise the monarch – it seems to have mutated into a bloated collection of gong seeking throbbers…
Some fascinating body language to be seen at the proclamation signing ceremony.
Ed Miliband v. Angela Rayner almost had me ruin a keyboard. He looked massively angry and completely zoned her out – looked right through her – fixed stare, tight jaw ….
Nicola Sturgeon looked like she’s been constipated for a month.
Watching the privy council and proclamation – GBNews suffering from extreme verbal diarrhoea. Very poor and very disappointing …
Tucker on “Net Zero”
Ben Shapiro
The merger of celebrity and politics is complete. There is no real cultural difference between Jennifer Lawrence, Meghan Markle and AOC. Their interviews are indistinguishable.
Yuval Levin: “the people who occupy our institutions increasingly understand those institutions not as molds that ought to shape their behavior and character but as platforms that allow them greater individual exposure and enable them to hone their personal brands.”
This phenomenon actually began with Barack Obama, The Lightbringer™, who was treated as a full-scale celebrity by the media, and who acted as though he was outside the system he was supposed to be supporting and upholding.
We live in serious times, and we are led by completely unserious people. Our enemies are not. And they know this. ==> https://bit.ly/3ej6tWz

Here, the photo studios of Vogue seem rammed with Surgeons. Trusses, Phillipses and, of course, BS’s and Laura Ks.

#PRisNowNews
I don’t really care about such things but I noticed when King Charles 3 made his speech he referred to ‘Harry and Meghan ‘ without mentioning their titles – maybe they will be ditched after a while .
It would be a great shame to think the Royals no longer trust them because anything they see or hear gets sold to Netflix or Oprah …
As I mentioned before I thought the coverage by GBnews his majesty Alistair Stewart was awful because they just never stopped yapping . Stewart even yapped over the start of the proclamation national anthem .
It became the Alistair Stewart show … off switch – USA today was better ..
I thought all the tributes by the MPs in the House of Commons yesterday were very good. Boris articulated the nation’s feelings brilliantly. Keir Starmer sounded like a statesman. Theresa May was witty. Even Harriet Harman was funny. Even Ian Blackford was generous and moving. What happened to these people? I was impressed by them.
For once I think they were speaking from their hearts and properly utilising their intellectual powers, not pitching their remarks at the level of the average oafish elector and misusing their verbal skills in the propagation of humbug and hypocrisy.
Z
You didn’t mention Liz Truss.
And having heard her I’m not surprised.
Rather cold, short stubby sentences. A Dalek on an off day.
How ever did she get through the weeks of hustings without being able to speak well?
Starmer, Boris, May (surpringly), Harperson all good, not to mention Margaret Beckett genuinely welling up.
Credit where due.
Not at all Zalazek, they read the mood of the country and thus lied their heads off to go with the flow. Next week they will be back on their insidious, nasty and vicious tracks.
Two-faced grunts the lot of them!
I noticed , at the accession, Ian Blackford in a kilt. Do you think he’ll be crossing and uncrossing his legs to distract Liz Truss?
Pervert 🤮
Might get a glance from Chris ‘Joker’ Bryant.
Perhaps he’s going to self-identify as a t*****.
King Charles Coronation mugs should be easy to fashion.
#sawwhatyoudidthere
We saw a commemorative Charles and Diana wedding mug in an honesty box jumble sale in a church near Cirencester a few weeks back.
The price was very, very low. Rather disappointing as Mrs S senior bought one as original back in 1981. We use it now quite regularly as a sort of p*** take of all that Princess of Hearts guff we had to endure in the 1980s and 1990s.
I still have the Prince Charles investiture Daily Mirror commemorative magazine.
Soon be time for the Harry and Megan divorce mug, she will want a Prince and Princess to herself now I strongly suspect.
I buy a paper on days of national importance and bag them up and store them, got Daily Mail yesterday.
Someone will find them when I snuff it, and probably bin them.
I kept the ‘death’ versions for my 4 years old great nephews as an historical memorial for them to look at, maybe in 50 years time.
Wow, this is how you deal with the left wing biased media in no uncertain terms, and it would be unthinkable for any state organisation to speak to the BBC in this way but the Police Guy is absolutely corrrect:
Fantastic, the left need to be challenged for their lies
Interesting the lefty anti police stooge referred to a study by a Harvard professor hoping the other had not seen it the police guy said yes I have read it and it said we did not shoot more black people
to which the snidey one then said of course it was a very small study..
Would we see a senior cop defending his peeps like this (using evidence and logic) in the UK?
The UK has a pathetic recent record of confronting both wokery in the MSM and in the public sector – and the BBC is pivotal in that -they work very hard indeed to be both gatekeepers and framers of the Overton window..
It’d be rather good to see Don out in a squad car for a few weeks. Sheriff Clarke won’t be back on Lemon’s show anytime soon ?
Tomo – I thought – considering he had had 3 cops murdered in one day – he dealt with the snow flake pretty well .
For some reason – despite the colour of the snowflake – he reminded me of Robinson …..
The “Democrat snowflake” is CNNs Don Lemon, a gay Black man and hater of Donald Trump.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Lemon
Thoughtful
When I studied criminology there was a lot of research on the race attitudes of police . And very often the colour was ‘blue ‘. Yes they’d slag various colours off to each other – but when dealing with the public they tended to start ‘neutral ‘.
That police chief really delivered the message – the democrat kidult – who didn’t get decked – really needs to be on the receiving end to get some ‘reality ‘…. Lucky the chief was coloured otherwise that race card would have been out in a second . The police interview ends at 9 minutes .
Studies – though – are very problematic – and anecdotes – single incidents colour matters .
But the situation here is very different as plod goes woke and politically to the Left ….
Has anyone the foggiest idea why Meghan Markle has joined William and Kate to meet the crowds on the Long Walk at Windsor?
Presumably gathering material for her next interview and truth with Oprah.
She was grabbing and grasping flowers from the crowd, which were probably bought for Charles.
Anyone who would want to present flowers of condolence to her needs their head examined, and maybe their eyes and ears tested considering the vicious and deceitful remarks, insinuations, threats and accusations she has made over the last year or so which must have offended the Queen so much, and now she is happily wallowing in the media attention over this ladies’ demise.
Most there had too much class to denigrate the occasion by vocalising their thoughts on her.
Something black American academics, so called journalists, and an English footballist should look and learn from.
Sluff – I caught that sequence live on the internet . I was amazed at how long the 4 spent with the crowds . Maybe there is an attempt to bring the Americans back into the fold ….besides it looked really good for ‘the firm’ brand …
I will guarantee 100% that her people requested it.
Has she any people left ? willing to work for a well documented bully that frequently reduces her employees to tears ?
“”I am very concerned that the duchess was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year,” the email sent by Knauf to Prince William’s private secretary read. “The treatment of X [name removed] was totally unacceptable.”
He continued: “The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights. She is bullying Y [name removed] and seeking to undermine her confidence,” adding that, “We have had report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable behavior towards Y [name removed].”
“She threw a cup of hot tea at a staffer of Admiralty House during the Australia tour in 2018. That is always said to be a “rumour”, but I have worked in media for more than 35 years and know it is not merely a rumour. Had Joe or Jane Public thrown hot tea at anyone, they’d have been charged with assault. Read what you will into that.”
Plenty of people in this world who will do absolutely anything at all for fame and/or money.
Meghan included.
I have mentally separated people into three camps.
Good
Bad
Stupid
Good people can see what is going on and live and speak accordingly what is in their heart and what they can see with their own eyes and say so.
Bad people don’t care what’s going on as long as everything goes their mentally deranged way and strive to taint everybody who doesn’t agree with them and earn woke brownie points.
Stupid people tend to believe bad people.
Examples:
Good: Lawrence Fox, Fox News, my dad.
Bad: the BBC, Hollywood, Meghan, Ben and Jerrys etc. Megalithic US Social media corporations.
Stupid: Harry, woke footballers and other sports twats especially people like the big-pocketed Lineker. Potentially our new Monarch.
I am sure people here could add to those lists.
Its been mooted that a) it was a decree from Charles that the four put themselves on display, and b) it was William who suggested the other two join them for flower looking.
I think it was suggested (by whom doesn’t matter) to show a ‘united’ front because it would be “good optics”, even if it was done through gritted teeth. All this reporting of a ‘united front’ is a load of bo…..cks, and the press are just as bad with assuming there is a re-approachment between the brothers and how the Queen would be delighted to see this. When ‘stuff’ has repeatedly occurred in a family to the detriment of others then it will take more than looking at some obituary cards to bring them together. The last thing the Palace want is for sections of the crowd to start booing Harry & wife on the day of the funeral, so all this is damage limitation before it occurs.
I don’t think for one moment that its all nicey nicey pop round for tea tomorrow, and how many olive branches does this couple need offering anyway ? they’re the ones crapping on everyone from a great height yet those who are being criticised are bending over backwards to appease them. No doubt the one who won’t accept any nonsense from this pair is Anne, and will make her feeling felt.
Brissles
I agree with your comments. I wasn’t at all convinced by this “united front”. I saw no sign that “something had clearly shifted”, as the BBC put it. No glances, smiles, touches or warmth between them.
Meghan of course just had to ostentatiously hug some girl in the crowd. Trying to give the impression that she is empathetic and tactile in contrast to those stiff, unfeeling racist in-laws of hers, I suspect.
Any response from the Sussexes regarding the cruel, vicous slanders levelled at the Queen by Megan’s fellow black Americans in so called academia and low rent race-baiting journalism just hours after her death ?
Thought not.
I strongly suspect you can be thick as pigshit and still become a lecturer in “critical race theory”.
Most seem to be, and display a staggering ignorance of history and the UK and it’s constitution and what the Royal family do and did, and can do and can’t do, which never stops them spouting on about it at length.
But let’s be generous for a while and say they have a modicum of intelligence (whilst still apparently ignorant or conveniently blind to the facts that we ended slavery 30 years before they did and we did not run a civil war killing 620,000 over it, and that most slaves were captured and sold by black Africans)
No, being generous, maybe they display a basic intelligence, or knowledge.
Even then I would posit:
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
If you expect anything sane and measured from that shit-hole that is now the US-less States of America you will be very disappointed!
I observe because it invariably ends up here as well
You think Boris and his cake party lying was bad ? have a closer look at the present US government and their desperate attempts to lie over and over again.
Hilary Clinton: personal emails containing secret govt information : nuffink

“I can’t believe we’re still talking about this,”
They are very well united now.
Into two totally incompatible halves. Thanks to the Left, the Democrats and their politics of hate.
The last time it was civil war. I don’t rule out the same again.
“Rafe Heydel-Mankoo on #GBNews @Nigel_Farage

Thank you Stew,
It took you less than an hour to find facts that black wimmin race baiting academics cannot find in years of study, or
choose to ignore, says it all really
To be honest, it doesn’t matter a flying F*** to black people whether the UK did or did not support/end slavery, all that matters is who can be fitted up to pay reparations to anyone remotely black.
It’s all about money which shows you what these people are really all about, not history but pure greed.
Money for nothing is better than working for it!
Syrian teenager manages to access and instruct lawyers worth £500,000 to sue Tommy Robinson…. hmm won the lottery or rich parents ? no, wonder what is going on here then ?
Funny that ?
“Hope not Hate” called Robinsons comment : “For those of us who have been working for justice for the teenage victim of Robinson’s vile vitriol, Jamal Hijazi, Tommy Robinson’s attendance in court today is a step in the right direction. Jamal and his family deserve justice.
Vile Vitriol, hmm
Has Trevor Sinclair got deep pockets ?
Following Mr Hijazi’s successful libel case, Mr Justice Nicklin ordered Robinson to pay him damages of £100,000. Mr Hijazi’s legal costs were thought to be around £500,000.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/tommy-robinson-jamal-hijazi-high-court-b2073048.html
But did they mention the case was funded out of the Middle East by the fabulously weathy Arab Muslims?
I believe it sets a dangerous precedent but the greedy weasels only care about the fat fees. Remarkable how they only became concerned about Russian Oligarchs money distorting due process after sanctions when they could no longer get their grasping claws on it.
Of course one can trust the bbc:
“Hillary Clinton has been cleared for a second time by the FBI over her use of a private email server while secretary of state. What’s it all about?”
just a few takeaways from this bbc article:
“According to Mrs Clinton, ”
“I thought using one device would be simpler,”
“The State Department has since resumed its investigation into whether Mrs Clinton or her aides violated government policy in their handling of classified information. If it determines that they did, the punishment could include a formal letter of reprimand or loss of security clearance.”
Compare and contrast, and no “Mr” Trump: or “former President, afforded him by simple politeness or correct termination, which in itself is unforgiveable for the bbc as a government funded orgaisation
“Trump investigation: Empty folders marked classified found at Mar-a-Lago
FBI agents found dozens of empty folders marked as classified during a search of Donald Trump’s Florida home last month, a court filing shows.”
hmm, empty folders huh ? what does that mean in essence two bits of cardboard.
“If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.”
My goodness how desperate are the deep state to undermine democracy and denigrate an indivdual likely to disthrone them
and their drug addicted sons, and their stock market profiting husbands etc etc

4pm Radio4 news “Historian David Olusoga”
.. might of known the BBC were using him a their talking head
#2 trailer comes on “coming up at 6:15am Lenny Henry and Vince Cable will be on Loose Ends
#3 next trailer comes on “Sunday morning David Olusoga will be prime guest on R4 Broadcasting House”
#BiasedBBC where #Diversity = Conformity = same lefty mates all the time
R4 black men black rights etc etc time it seems, until they fancy a bit of white blonde
a common trait with them
where me kids ?? who cares
oops laptop just crashed.. insect in the fan
On Twitter we see that The Olousoga gets a lot of praise from fans.
A smaller number of complainers
point out things like he just said the ceremony was not on TV before cos it was so boring
.. They then post links to the 1936 Gaumont new footage ..proving he was wrong.
BBC:
Hillary Clinton: ‘I want to hug Meghan over racist treatment’
Hillary Clinton has told BBC Radio 5 Live that she wants to “hug” the Duchess of Sussex over the sexist and racist treatment that she’s received.
Elsewhere other opions prevail, her traumatised emplyees for example
when black get a bit of power, just have a look at Africa, Jamaica, wherever in fact
same for the muzzies protesting about our country until we talk about muslim gang rape
Fingers down throat…..
Funnily enough Hillary and daughter feature in the Times TV review
They have a a new documentary series Gutsy where they go out and interview woke Gutsy mates.
The lefty Times review wrote daughter is OK, but “Hillary sucks”
If you take the last 180 years , only 50 have been a king in the UK .
