As usual on Sunday morning the last item in the news bulletins on BBC Radio Humberside is not news but rather PR for that days TV show : Politics North.
Today was rather unusual they actually played a Tory voice in the clip.

Switch off the Getty hair frizzer?
I lived in Africa for a short while. In that time, I do not recall seeing a single woman with long frizzy hair, much less an ‘Afro’. Invariably, the women shaved their heads, as that was much more comfortable in the heat. Outside the home or village setting, they would usually cover their heads with a brightly-coloured scarf or such. Whilst I appreciate that there is much variation throughout such a large continent, the conclusion I reached was that frizzy hairstyles owe little to Africa, but rather are an American invention and indicate a form of rebellion or an attempt, consciously or sub-consciously, to distinguish from or compete with the far more diverse hair styles found in White women. Or, in the words of the great Labour MP, Rupa Huq, the styles are only ‘superficially black’.
It’s the frizz wot gives you wizz.
The model above gets a helluva lot of work !
I doubt that.
This is the alternative the BBC is pushing.
Hangover Jess?
A man stopped me in the supermarket where I was shopping with my son to do my family weekly shop and told me that my first book reads like I am anti-family.
Jez of course more a solidarity standing variety.
But at least they are permanently angry.
Constant gaslighting
@ONS struggle to hold up their wall of gaslighting end their tweet thread with this
“Muhammad was the top baby boy name in four out of nine English regions, George was top in three, and Oliver and Arthur were top in one each”
Mo is nowhere near the majority of names, it’s about 2%
ie 6.7K out of about 312K.. and trending down from the 2013 peak of 8.3K
but it’s the most popular name by far in almost every region unless you gaslight by ignoring different spellings.
“Actually the namesake of islam’s founder is the most popular name for newborn boys in England & Wales for the 11th year running.”
BTW I would include Mo
but the ONS data tool doesn’t let you check 2 letter names and/or is only limited to the top 100 names
Thus 10+ spelling variations like Mo, Moh, Mehmet are kept off the lists
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/babynamesenglandandwales/2021
Partial list of equivalents
-> West Africa: Mamadou, Mahamadou
-> Turkish: Mehmet, Memet
-> Amazigh: Mohand, Moh, Damoh
-> Caucasus: Magomet, Mokhmad
… even nicknames, Momo (French), Mo (English)
Are there and just called ‘mo’ to make up the numbers …?
11am News”Hygiene poverty” “6% of people can’t afford shampoo”
#1 that’s BS
#2 Shampoo screws up your hair, so should be infrequently used.
#3 Bet 5 million people don’t have much/any hair
Stew, Apple shampoo plus two other varieties, one with conditioner, 75p each at a well known supermarket beginning with the letter ‘T’!
Poundland cheapest is 350ml for £1
and Tresemme branded Shampoos 500ml for £1.75
Wow – apple shampoo ? ishampoo ?
Fed, yeah, if you don’t want to wash your hair after Stew’s statement, you can sniff the apple shampoo instead. Don’t recommend eating it though and it’s no good for texting. 😉
Excellent discussion just now on GBN with Calvin discussing this very topic.
ER, NO not apple shampoos but popular boys names ! – 3 stories up, but I did press the REPLY button on the last relevant message (!)
No one surely can be in any doubt by now what gets a script on a bbc screen?

I don’t often come here, or anywhere else, to praise something I’ve experienced on the BBC, so today is somewhat unusual…
The only BBC radio station I ever listen to these days is Radio 4 Extra. They have some cracking old classics on, from Hancock’s Half Hour, Steptoe and Son and the old Paul Temple adventure series.
Yesterday there was a play, Iz, first broadcast in 2014, but set in the distant future. It was all about an authoritarian government, a deadly virus and the “curfew” imposed on the population to try to control the virus. It was astonishingly pertinent, but equally very off message as far as the lockdown fanatics at the Beeb are concerned.
The “hero” of the story falls in love with Izzie, actually a manufactured, online fake female, created to pacify numerous young men during their interminable confinement…six years! Our chap, though, decides to escape, risk being taken out by the virus and walks to London, where Izzie is supposed to live.
En route he meets a rebellious older woman who has gone off grid and she explains that the deadly virus had long since dispersed and was now being used soley as a control mechanism for a flaccid unquestioning people. She grew her own food and hunted.
I’m beginning to wonder if Radio 4 Extra has a rogue, free thinker, in their midst. You see, it’s not only this story that has questioned the narrative in the form of drama, there have been quite a few. In the last year they’ve given us The Prisoner, 1984 and Brave New World. All of these dystopian stories are warning us about over controlling governments and the public’s obedience.
Interesting…
Radio 4 Extra is the only good thing left of the bBC, which is why they are planning to discontinue it.
Theisland – it used to be a small shelter from woke – but then they found it – if you look at what is on now – it’s Radio4 – no extra ….
Some stuff get through – but very little …
As a chap – taxpayer – Immature/ mature – there’s little for me now ….
But each to his – or mainly her – own ….
Warning? probably broadcast as a celebration of their control or offering governments templates
“World Cup 2022: Fans with banning orders will be stopped from going to tournament”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63184462
“The 1,308 people subject to Football Banning Orders “will be forced to hand their UK passports over to police” the Home Office said.
Those not complying and attempting to travel to Qatar could face six months in prison and an unlimited fine, it warned.”
Pre-crime punishment in action!
Those people have already been punished once for their crimes, pretty bad that they are taking their passports, the governent must be shitting themselves about trouble in Quatar.
It’s bizarre narrative
to stop ex-hooligans from entering Qatar you have to confiscate the passport in the UK.
Surely the control should be at the Qatar entry point
Imagine if the person has booked to take their kids to Tenerife
why should the kids be punished??
Not really BBC – but lots of MSM stuff about saving energy – violent disagreements over ‘air fryers ‘ microwaves – slow cookers …
Often it come to fisty cuffs – eg the cost of boiling a kettle ….
Well that’s their PayPal accounts down the toilet … NOT
Meanwhile in parts of the NHS.
– appalling tales coming from ambulance service and local A&E (Bath RUH) about miserable service -111 said “call an ambulance” (999) – ambulance service “we haven’t got one free”. Drove over to Bath to witness a queue of ambulances.
This must be being repeatedly across the land and the BBC simply must be deliberately ignoring it.

Surreptitious killing off of the ‘old un’s’. If some youngsters get in the way, so what?

Anything involving the BBC and the word ‘trust’…. 🤩

In bbc sub world, the move from “quotes’ to ‘quotes” is likely highly significant.
Simply playing to the ex-Labour voter crew?
Will she row back from such a comment ? Even if there was a Scottish independence – how could the English ever deal with her – since I think more than half are Conservatives ?
Row back ? – she’ll take the ferry …
oh, wait a minute
Its the English she really hates, but not allowed to say that.
Its hilarious to watch her fuming that she cant get her own way.
SNP can hate . Others cannot hate. Those are the new rules.
The wonderful thing about the bbc is there is nothing they won’t exploit for hits.

Not the BBC ( I think )
But Elon Musk – the soon to be owner of Twitter writes that the probability of nuclear war is increasing – a fellow twitterer puts it as 1 in 6 chance .
Putin is to meet his ‘war cabinet ‘ Monday ? Doesn’t it seem strange living through a time which leaves the Cuba Crisis in the shade .
But I ponder on what the response will be if putin uses a couple of small weapons in Ukraine ? Will that be limited ?or are we doomed ?
Anyway – what s on the TV?
Lizzo on Ice, with Sir Boaty.

According to the BBC, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market-data the £ has tanked against the dollar in International trading today, it now stands at parity apart from 36 cents. Well done, Bank of England, you have actually managed to increase inflation ….. again!
Up2
Seems like a dire situation – if the cabinet won’t let truss cut welfare – then the other option is ‘public services ‘- which presumably means their NHS .
Anyone even remotely accused of cutting NHS spending will be instantly destroyed by the MSM Labour propaganda machine …
Can’t cut the military – can’t cut plod – overseas aid budget ? But would need a lot more ….
Can only see grief – and maybe another interest rate rise in 3 weeks – 1% this time ?
EXCLUSIVE NHS is STILL hiring ‘diversity and inclusion managers’ paid up to £76,000 a year despite No10 pledge to scrap roles as part of war on ‘waste and wokery’
There are currently five jobs available in the NHS recruiting diversity managers
They offer salaries of up £76,000 a year with flexible hours and WFH available
It comes despite a No10 drive to crackdown on NHS ‘waste and wokery’ in June
Thinktanks said it was a slap in the face to taxpayers during cost of living crisis

What I particularly like about ‘diversity and inclusion managers’ is that they are the least diverse and the least inclusive of anybody.
The very few that aren’t BAME are women.
Fed, the Base Rate really should have been back at close to 5% ages ago but the MPC were asleep on the job. Deliberately asleep? I suspect that they wanted to sabotage Brexit, sabotage a Conservative Government determined to get Brexit done under Boris and sabotage Boris. I think LeftMob in the BoE’s MPC blame Boris and the Conservatives for everything and want LameLabour back in No.10.
If I was Rishi, I would have either re-written the MPC’s parameters at the start of the Pandemic or used the Pandemic as an excuse to take back control of interest rates. Actually, the same is true if I had been George Osborne in 2015.
“today” I’m pretty sure the currency markets don’t operate at weekends.
So it’s either old news or speculation.
Stew, Asian markets open before UK ones, currencies are traded 24/7, there is a ‘London Open’ and ‘London Close’ which the BBC ‘provider’ Morningstar frequently or totally ignores and they regularly get their gains and losses wrong anyway! Morningstar haven’t bothered at all with changes to the gold price for many months and the BBC haven’t been bothered to chase them up on that.
It is an inferior service to the previous provider (cannot remember their name) and some information that used to be provided is no longer seen on the page.
You know you cannot trust the BBC, don’t you?
In the present state of play the information services of the BBC (that they used to take a bit of trouble collating) is like a church tower clock that’s stopped.
Front page news on the British Broadcasting Corporation:
Veteran Indian politician Mulayam Singh Yadav has died at the age of 82.
Me neither.
Is there no start the week thread? Not showing for me.
Lol thoughtful I didn’t think you deserved one – try ‘refreshing ‘ — I think it’s up to about 170 ( quiet day)comments including my wise words / evidence of ignorance …
The page had moved to page 2 for some reason and when refreshed stayed there!
