The BBC will keep up the pressure on the Conservative Party and Liz Truss with endless speculation about how many Tory MPs have expressed disquiet about Liz Truss as PM after her ‘Fiscal Non-Event of a Lifetime’. The BBC doing the work that Lacklustre Labour should be doing in the House. PMQs should be interesting tomorrow. I wonder if TWatO will be extended to cover it?
There is an interesting contrast between Truss and Johnson. There seemed to be someone feeding 1922 Committee information on Johnson to the BBC. There has been a noticeable ‘quietness’ on how many letters of No Confidence that have gone in to Sir Graham Brady about Liz Truss. I wonder if there has been a ‘mole hunt’ to find out who was feeding information to the BBC?
Up2
I reckon Liz will survive until the full budget thing on Halloween . If Hunt does what is needed – cutting public spending – benefits – a lot of those lefty blue labour types are going to revolt .
Maybe that’s when Graham Brady gets a full post bag .
The big question is whether the blue labour types can get a new PM by acclamation p if there’s another contest it will do for them .
Rishi must have ordered the removal van for November ….
Fed, the BBC will be out hunting for a Granny freezing to death because her State Pension has not kept up with inflation thanks to Cruella de Trussville and Jeremy ‘JamesNaughtie on-airnaughtyism’.
Up2
They’ve already found one.
Some woman from Hastings has been on every BBC news bulletin for the past 24 hours telling us how she is only going to put the heating on when she is absolutely freezing.
This may be the same woman who was lamenting that she cannot now afford to go out for a meal and get dressed up. But it may have been a different victim. I can’t quite remember.
Doesnt it strike you as utterly mad that these announcements are set for October 31st.
As gifts go to the headline writers it just couldnt get better.
The BBC must be licking their lips, with the newsroom trying to outdo each other on the photos of Truss and Hunt with fangs and horror masks, and the dreadful HYS selectors gorging themselves on any number of carefully chosen ‘questions’ to ask. ‘Are you affected by these policies?’
As predictable as it is cretinous.
The inflation rate is a disaster for the poor, but I had to smile at the TV news earlier. Vox pops commenced, as is always the case, with a black woman (is there a law saying that street interviews have to start with a black person?). Next up was a morbidly obese gormless-looking white slag who took her fag out of her mouth long enough to moan piteously, “I’m having to eat less! I’m only eating when I’m hungry!” SHOCK HORROR! The poor love!
Fred
IUp2, are you stuck for something to do around 9ish of an evening ?
Am winding down in front of the computer screen at that time, Brissles, covered in blankets before diving under the duvet for dreamland. I just happened to check if Fed had put up the new Thread and guess what … he had. 🙂 Can I get three in a row? Five? Then I can not bother and say “After you.”

I reckon when people get cold they will get angry, especially if they are hungry as well and someone at COP27 has said something silly about cows and sheep and being vegan to save the planet. There’s not a lot of people that love brussels sprouts, cabbage, parsnips, turnips and swede and there’s not a lot of people that know that.
After only two days of closure, the Police have finally deigned to remove the two Just Stop OIl protesters on the QE2 bridge.
That was big of them.
I can’t upload it, but there’s a terrific skit doing the rounds, that show Del-Boy with his shot gun firing up at the 2 on the bridge, and hitting his targets both times. Priceless. I hope someone puts it up on here.
Funny isnt it ? There is a clay pigeon range quite close the the QE2 bridge …

Luckily, the BBC is trusted, professionally.
To repeat. Propaganda backed by censorship.
Not the first time.

As an ironic aside.
I would say our society is more divided now than it has ever been in my lifetime. Both on racial and political grounds.
Thanks in no small part to the racist, sexist, heterophobic and partisan BBC.
By saying ‘conservatives’, Ed has alienated the whole section of the population who elected Boris in a landslide. Showing us he is as good as ‘bringing us all together’ as Auntie.
Bring back Jo Swinson and her travelling circus. At least she was funny (in a ridiculous clown sort of way) and had big t1ts.

News blackout in Ukraine, something big happening?
Yeah, Putin has just bombed all the power stations
We often write about this but it NEVER changes on the
main BBC news internet page. Every single public image
of somebody worrying about their mortgage, gas bill,
electricity bill. EVERY single public interest story has the
image of an ethnic person usually black as the BBC’S
featured image . Usually modelled by Getty Images.
Simon Webb often makes remarks about this on his You
Tube channel. It’s if as the 80% majority Caucasian
make up of the UK don’t exist anymore. Or if the BBC want
to cancel 80% of the citizens of the UK!!
Agree, and also we’re still having temperatures in the teens and above, yet we’re getting pictures of old folk wrapped in a shawl looking bewildered, and one even is supposed to have a monthly energy bill of £178 in her 1 bed bungalow! So her temperature control must be on at maximum of 30deg for 24 hours non stop. And I don’t think the expensive bills have started coming out yet !!
Today’s RadioHumberside news bulletins had a long item of vox pop about Truss
The style was ” Tories smell, Truss must go”
.. You don’t have Vox Pops in news. they are not news
It’s PRtrickery.
reality star Narinder Kaur was the Talking Pints guest on Farage
and she used it as a Trojan horse
to say ‘Farage and his supporters are racist’
And that British history is evil colonialism.
Farage handled her well
Yes, she kept referring to her Dad coming over “to do the jobs the British didn’t want to do” – of course he did. Can’t remember my Dad saying there were any Indians down the coal mine though in the early 60’s. She’s clearly another one who wants open borders, argues with a loud gob but doesn’t check facts because she knows nothing – except how to get noticed.

No doubt they will market those kayaks on the French side of the Channel and make loads of dosh ?
Anyone clocked that ridiculous “Imperial Leather” advert on TV.
A middle aged middle class white woman arrives home and dances from room to room where here white children look askance. She then finds a black man in her kitchen, he looks completely out of place and context, perhaps he’s a burgler? She moves on to the bathroom……
If I found a black man in my kitchen I’d scream blue murder and lock myself in the bathroom.
Flotsam:
You are quite right. The advert makes no sense, the woman is white, the children are white, but a black man has just been inserted for no reason other than to appear woke. Imperial Leather can just get stuffed.
The head of Lincolnshire Police has just tweeted about their campaign with BBC Radio Lincolnshire
#1 “dick” to me in that context is a swear word, so not appropriate
#2 The campaign seems to praise Covid dramaqueens as a Tom
And label calmer less alarmist people as “Dick” .. that is bullying and intimidation, to me.
Clearly Inspector ‘Phil’ is thicker than Inspector Clouseau, he has no experience or qualifications to give medical advice.
It should be pointed out to this idjot that government advice to the Grenfell victims who were burnt to death was to stay in place.
Many qualified and serious scientists were openly calling out the government misinformation of this WEF plandemic.
These royal college of policing trained charlatans know D1ck-all and should be renamed ‘Home Officers’ – and they can pay for them too. Then the rest of us can figure out how we can spend our money to protect our own security.
If this was a pink panther film shown on the BBC it would be funny. But I fear that we have corruption on a mass scale.
I’ve thought for quite a few years now that the “Professionals,” are taking us all for a ride. When you go to a Solicitor, Accountant, Architect etc you will be charged magnificently for what they claim to do for you. Solicitors for example will cost you £200-300 per hour. These people have become more and more indispensable over the years. More and more tax and legal legislation, is generated every year by ……MP”s and Civil Service who are determined to make our lives ever more complex.

Catch it before it disappears.
Local radio had an item about gays and lesbians who changed to become straight. YesterGAYS and hasBIANS
Jackie Clune came on to talk about being an ex lesbian
She claimed it was because conventional society is so oppressive, that made her “super feminist*
She then made two jokes
“The thing about men, is that when you what they are thinking and they say “nothing” you can be sure that’s true”
Then “the difference between a straight man and a gay man is 5 pints of lager.”
OK that’s free speech, but that is also sexist stereotyping.
I’m a straight man and it’s insulting to say that 4 pints of lager would make me gay. . men are sexually repellant and that’s it, end of story.
Hypocrisy and lack of self awareness are libmob characteristics.
Before the word ‘gay’ was hijacked by the homosexual community, I don’t doubt that 4 pints of lager might make you a bit gay ! It sure as hell buggered up the creativity of lyric writers when they had to think of something other than “happy and gay” !!!

Biden’s suicidal energy policies have landed him in a whole pile of problems, forcing him to go cap in hand to hideous regimes like Iran and Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis aren’t playing ball, so after the begging, Biden is now threatening.
That’s not working either.
It would be fun watching Biden humiliated, if nuclear war and global recession weren’t in the balance.
Let’s Go Brandon.
Thing is … I reckon fwiw that Joe’s starting position was to threaten MBS – he’s stupid and ignorant enough to do that.
Probably asked for a commission on the increased sales/production too.
Boden is an arrogant swine.
Biden is a Socialist and that by its nature brings with it hostility anger rage hate and ultimately violence.
ALL Socialists exhibit these disorders, witness James Cordens recent behaviour over an omlette of all things.
Bidens Mafia Democrats are making enemies of the majority of the world right now, alas Socialists leading the EU and the UK are following him like sheep to the slaughter.

Wouldn’t it be good if the Republicans who are just about as useless as the Tory party for the most part were able to offer some challenge to the Mafia criminal Democrats such as this? As it is they are so scared of being labelled with one of the meaningless isms or fauxbias they just cower and give in instead.
Shame that Ms Lake is too busy to hold training courses – Ms Truss could benefit from one – maybe….
meanwhile…
I can tell very quickly the Harris quote is fake because it has been fact-checked by Snopes. I don’t even need to go check what they said.
If she had said it, they would not have published it.
D’you remember the spoof song, sung to a Four Seasons tune, “Walk like a Dan, talk like a Dan” after several, (lots of) gaffs by Dan Quayle!
At least it made us all laugh properly back then, which certainly isn’t the case with Ol’ Joe and Kamilla…
I’d forgotten Dan Quayle….
A fake quote that makes more sense than many real ones which use several times the number of words?
Rule for extraordinary claims “If someone claims, but doesn’t give video, then it never happened”
Here’s Snopes on the Kamala fake quote
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harris-gas-prices-quote/
If she said this – then she said it – but if someone made it up – they made it up – up it was made maybe .
So – Tomo – have you put stuff which is real or stuff which is not – as moderator a health warning might be minimal if uncertain ….
Parody… ?
– but then again Kamala’s emissions have probably led some satirists / comedians to resort to Uber driving
Stew – the problem with parody of a imbecile like the Veep is that it dilutes the effect of the stuff she actually says .
Personally I find those little ‘nods ‘ and ‘pauses’ she does to they to make the crap appear more profound than the crap it is ( at this point I pause and nod profoundly )
Can’t be parody
Cos the whole point of parody is
#1 You know it’s not the actual person
#2 It’s funny
I don’t see how the tweet is satire either.
Today
Yippee – the official inflation rate is only 10.1% . It’s not too bad – it could be 10.2% – it’s transitory – according to the governor of the Bank of England – but there again – every thing is really isn’t it – apart from God .
So don’t worry – it’s only 10.1% – and the real personal rate is probably nearer to 20% . But it’s ok – and the next interest rate rise is likely to be only 0.5% – despite the market expecting a 1% increase .
But when a government spends 2 or 3 years shaking the money tree there will be a price to pay – and you will be paying it .
Things are gonna get tough – whatever colour of Labour politician is ‘in power’ ….
Save money – start by dumping the Tv licence .
Today 2
It seems good price inflation is over 14% . This is leading to people not going out to restaurants . Now I would have thought that s a good thing because the BBC spent the year moaning about staff shortages . So the solution is simple – close down restaurants and there’s no need for staff …. That’s also another way to cut immigration .
Recessions do have an upside …
And – once again – look at the poor victims the BBC thrust in front of our eyes for this cost of living emergency:
We have black AND white women today. Though I have never in my life seen a woman of any colour out shopping wearing such a large backpack. Maybe she is throwing food into it over her head when nobody is looking.

My local CO-OP has a problem with walk in and steel shoppers…..these customers are coming from a new housing development nearby…recently arrived by Dinghy ?
Having looked at the BBC news page with its how to save money in this ” winter crisis ” obviously to us its cancel that TV LICENCE !
That picture is from “abroad”. You can always tell by not being able to read any labels.
EU cpi 9.9% to save anyone looking it up.
GB PPI 20% so there are more increases on the way.

I think AWOLS inflation figures are made up
I do wish media would stop throwing petrol onto fires.
Measuring inflation month to month is BS
cos of course some foods are abundant one month and scarce the next.

Sorry AWOL not made up but deceptive
cos you quoted the UK PPI YOY as 20
but failed to mentioned thst the chart shows Germany’s is 45%

The Tories could help with their ‘cutbacks’ by scrapping the Telly Tax .
…….in other words, the BBC write the news before it has happened and irrespective of what it actually is.
In other words, business as usual.
Today
A repeat feature – wonderful world class NHS maternity units busily killing babies – not by murder it seems ( see current trial of nurse ) but by routine incompetence and negligence .
These inquiries seem to come along every 6 months . But why bother ? Nothing changes . Must cost a lot of time and money .
But one lesson for punters interacting with the NHS medical mafia is to use a voice activated tape recorder ….
Earlier on the passing of a public order bill preventing protests within 150 yards / metres of baby killing clinics was reported – MPs were allowed to vote on their conscience- something I thought needed to be excluded as a condition of employment .
Do you think there is a sort of ‘inquiry / report Porn ‘?
It seems every day the BBC does pieces on the latest inquiry or report into this or that . Sometimes these inquiries / reports take years to complete and cost millions of pounds .
And the outcomes ? Well once the reports are completed they get their few hours of publicity and then put on a shelf .
Does anything ever change or improve as a result of this effort ?.
On this site we know the declaration ‘lessons will be learnt ‘ is largely a joke .
There is a sinister angle to this . Areas of public concern where reports are completed at public expense – but not published . The Home Office is infamous for this – see paki rapist racist Muslim Paedo gangs .
This sort of thing demonstrates that accountability is a tokenism .
I don’t see the view I’ve given about aired anywhere else – which also says something …
The BBC are so stupendously arrogant now, they see themselves as the world police and the reference for how society should be.
A while back they sent to BBC employess across Africa looking for someone who paid children to sing songs to camera to sell to people in China. The whole story of how they found them was clearly completely fake and the justification for it all was that they got the children to sing ‘black people are stupid’ or something in Chinese for one video. Those extremely poor kids and families who could not care less now don’t get any income for it.
Then the other day they told us about some investigation they did at Al Jazeera – based purely on allegations and gave it the usual Panorama treatment which basically makes everything strongly infer – but not actually say – what suits the BBC agenda.
Why do the BBC have teams in these other countries to investigate these things ?. It is absolutely nothing to do with them or the UK. There are doznes of things the could investigate here – but they don’t because they go against their politcial agenda.
Their ‘investigations’ are always so full of the BBCs lie techniques (by omission, inference etc) that they are an absolute joke.
But more to the point : why is nobody challenging them about it ?.
Interesting when media fall in line to act as cover.
Especially what they pop behind or leave out.
Obviously these repeat maternity deaths are all due to the chronic underfunding of the NHS by the evil Tories……….
A friend is having a home birth. I wonder about the cost. The cost of the birthing pool. The cost of all that warm water. The midwife by definition has to travel and can only see one patient at a time. But then again, it could be a whole lot safer than being in hospital……..
…. But then again, it could be a whole lot safer than being in hospital……..
Well, considering how the human population has managed to be born and survive before the advent of hospitals and maternity units, that sentiment more than rings true.
My mum had us 3 at home, which was the norm – plenty of hot water, a midwife and a doctor with his sleeves rolled up. No gas and air back then either !
I’m saddened to hear about my old local hospital at Margate being under such horrendous scrutiny, but its not alone. Even trusting nurses is out of the window, with the ongoing case of a maternity nurse allegedly killing more than 7 babies.
What with that and reports of abuse in care homes for old folk at the end of life, and we’re f…….ed at both hello and goodbye.

TOADY Watch #1 – so that is a fail, Nick
Big Interview time with James Cleverly, Foreign Secretary. Not sure why Nick was interviewing the Foreign Secretary because he wanted to talk about inflation and pensions but maybe James, who is a clever interviewee (no pun intended but you may laugh anyway) who thinks on his feet and is skilled at being interviewed (grilled) on the TOADY Programme was the only one who the Conservative Government were prepared to put up for interview. Maybe all Government Ministers are on some sort of rota; the ‘Sacrificial Lamb Rota’ for BBC TOADY interviews and James took his turn. At least it wasn’t Harshmistress Mishal doing the questioning.
James Cleverly was only the fifth in line after Nick spoke with BBC Business Correspondent, Sean Farrington, who had expended unnecessary CO2 to travel unnecessarily to Sunderland to talk to a Headmaster and a food distributor and Chris Mason, current BBC Political Editor. If I was James Cleverly I would complain about the BBC’s shallow Racism “Is it cos I is black?”
Nick Robinson, as a former Political Editor of the BBC ought to know how important it is for both Political Editors and the politicians they interview to have a good grasp of the numbers. Nick Robinson ought to know that we do not have record low unemployment in the UK; we still have, annoyingly*, in round figures 1.3 million unemployed in the UK and that the numbers were much lower in the 1960s and, if I recall correctly, did not go above one million until Ted Heath was PM in the 1970s.
Nick let James Cleverly get away with saying we have record low unemployment in the UK. That is a considerable fail on Nick Robinson’s part.
* Blair and Brown could not reduce UK unemployent below that 1.2/1.3 million figure ‘despite unprecedented continual growth’ and I fear this is now ‘the floor’ for UK unemployment and the poor old taxpayer will have to support a million people who are not working in the UK.

I listened – it was a very poor interview . The biggest issue of the day is the linking of benefits to inflation or wages . Yet this got a fluffy question and a fluffy answer before moving on to trivia such as Chinese troubles ….
Whither the ‘triple lock ‘? …. Maybe Robinson just wants to enjoy the uncertainty of the 2 weeks in the run up to the halloween budget .
Sometimes I wonder if maybe the BBC should expand and be the government – just an extension of the red Labour Party – instead of spitting from the sidelines and acting for any pressure group which turns up today – such as the horrid Henry dimbleby want free food for all … paid for not by him – but by you …
Fed, it was obvious how Cleverly was going to answer that question about Benefits and Pensions. He was correct to side step it as it was not part of his brief and is for the PM as First Lord and the Chancellor as Treasury ‘side-kick’ to deal with. Had I been ForSec, I would have said “That is beyond my pay grade to answer.”
Well, there’s no reason why Nick could not resign his lucrative job and be selectedby a Party for a seat. There is a precedent.
I’ve finally realised what the continued ‘Vaccination is Necessary and Good ‘ is for . It’s a trial run, an experiment , to see how long most of the public can be hoodwinked for when contrary evidence is staring them in the face.
The results are promising and will be applied throughout the Western democracies to fool the credulous into believing that they still live in democracies, that their vote still counts , that they have genuine choices at elections, that their rulers actually listen and care about what they think. By the time the voters realise what is happening , that they have been disenfranchised , the post democratic world wide government of Klaus Schwab will be too entrenched to be removed.

pfff… look who’s on the board of the ASA
“Germany extends nuclear power amid energy crisis”, at the same time we have “Labour urges Tories to back vote on fracking ban”.
I try to catch a few minutes of GB News most mornings. Usually one of the presenters is the amiable and competent Eamon Holmes. Alas, he’s away, because I think he’d have grilled David Mellor, who is on as a guest, a little more than his stand-in did.
They were discussing the predicament our present PM finds herself in and Mellor made the, not too difficult, observation that “she is toast.” Sadly, I agree, but am beginning to feel a little sorry for the poor woman…
However, it was his rejoinder to a question that had me fuming. He was asked; “She was elected by the Conservative Party members, surely it’s undemocratic to replace her?”
The ugly brute (and they don’t come much uglier than Mellor) sneered and said contemptuously, “So what, there are only a few thousand backwoods members?” Have you ever heard any politician so openly dismissive of their own rank and file? Even the two presenters seemed shocked.
He then went on to pour fulsome praise on the new chancellor, China’s chum, Mr lockdown… Jeremy Hunt…
The decent, hard working supporters of the Conservative Party deserve better. They’re treated like voting fodder. The Tories know that the reliable old duffers will obediently turn out every election and put their cross in the relevant box. But why? Do the Conservatives ever stick to their election manifestos? Cut immigration…cut tax…reduce the state…No, it’s a bloody pantomime and everybody must surely know it. The party they’re voting for treats them with utter disdain.
It really is time for a new political party…

I think I saw Steyn with a prediction thing that in current circumstances the red labour lot could get a 500 majority .
Not a misprint 500 – which means we really will be in a far left for ever one party state – they could do … anything …
..but yet – but yet – a leading journo today has pointed out any government taking over won’t be able to do much because there really won’t be any real cash …
As for mellor – truly vile – he must be cheap to put on the TV – otherwise – why ?
Tory MP s are more concerned about scrambling over each other for their own jobs than their constituents well being . At the same time they will probably be dusting down their CVs .
Tory MPs could recover by ending the mass invasion on our shores , ending net zero, scrapping the TV licence and using some common sense by listening to their voters .
Simples.

I can’t see anyone other than Farage having the ability to do it – I saw some idiot who is the ‘deputy leader of UKIP? Just no ..
Therein lies the problem. Any politicians with experience view them as a suicide mission. They will have their reputations destroyed by the likes of the BBC and The Guardian.
In Thailand, the ex-PM in exile for corruption (Thaksin) used to stop his opponents campaigning across the North (where the majority of voters are) by shooting them.
The BBC doesn’t go that far (though they would if they could), but they assasinate people just the same.
I’ve a positive recollection of Mellor being on a telly political chat show and a stereotypical BBC taw-wie pile on about his football shirt bedroom antics was in train – one Peter Mandelson got all high horse censorious and judgemental – Mellor simply leaned back and said – iirc – “Peter, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”
Mandelson went truly ashen and barely said another word – Mellor looked like a frog that’d just swallowed a fly.
Was it Mellor that precipitated the Sun headline ‘from toe job to no job’?
BBC overpaid “experts” give their advice on how to save money
BBC experts on six things you can do as cost of living rises
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63284645
Colletta Smith, the BBC Cost of Living Correspondent (ffs), says
“The one thing that will probably save you the most at the moment is reducing the temperature of your heating or your hot water. Even a degree or two lower can knock hundreds of pounds off an annual bill.
Very dangerous advice which could lead to deaths. The hot water temperature must be above 60 deg C to kill off Legionella but I guess this wasn’t covered when the BBC Cost of Living expert did her degree in ‘Broadcast Journalism”
The BBC now has a ‘cost of living ‘ correspondent?
No.
It has TWO.
Someone called Kevin Peachey is one too.
That’s bias right there.
What’s the betting we will have an ‘austerity correspondent’, a ‘domestic energy’ correspondent and lots of others carefully targeted to embarrass the government.
Best cost-of-living-crisis tip evvah: cancel the TV Licence direct debit. Save £159 per year.
How to solve the hospital bed blocking ?
Empty the 4 Star Hotels of illegal invaders and use them for patients in recovery .
I am sure that ‘Serco’ could handle that ………….

Anyone heard of eco-anxiety?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-61265222
bBC has created a video to lecture us
Personally, i’m busy washing my hair 🙂
Highly selective anxiety is their bread and butter… generate it on a daily basis, then encourage everyone to ‘share’ it, add a few vox pops and phone-ins and talk about a mental health crisis as if they have no role in its creation.
Anger, resentment, grief, feelings of rage and powerlessness as your government and media go about the business of creating a chaotic and insane society don’t get much of a look-in. They’re not state-approved emotions and the BBC, with their Disneyland worldview, work constantly to brush them under the carpet.
Can we shut off all gas to The Guardian?
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/19/fracking-caused-daily-earthquakes-at-uks-only-active-site
Including oxygen?
while I have some sympathy with suffocating The Guardian – I’d be content if they simply acknowledged reality instead of inventing a carnival of absurd untruths and blocking those that offer evidence that they’re mistaken in their claims.
Some practicing what they preach wouldn’t go amiss either – I wonder how their in-house gender wars are going 🙂
100 seconds of BBC News going wrong
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-63159569
How they laughed, its about as funny as the bBC gets these days
100 years of BBC social engineering going according to plan:
They certainly aren’t letting Nadya go anywhere soon. If her shows aren’t on a continual repeat loop, then she’s appearing in yet another new vehicle for her many ahem ‘talents’, be it cookery around Britain, recipes from her cultural home, she’s not a trained chef but has been to most corners of the world in order to teach us how to cook a pizza the way her kids like it.
Jay Blades has got himself a gong, mingled with royalty on Repair Shop, told his journey of how he cant read – but clearly knows how to father children and is no doubt working on another new ‘project’. The perfect type the BBC love.
caught a a bit of R5 this morning
last week after a concerted campaign the so called BBC managed to get the mini-budget cancelled after parading angry listeners all week ….. hooooooooooray
this week they are parading angry listeners complaining about how their energy bills are now going to go bonkers in early spring due to cancellation of mini-budget ……. hooooooray
Taffman,
Is that the ‘Serco’ headed by CEO Rupert Soames?
Looks like his brother.
https://www.serco.com/about/executive-committee
“The Hon. Rupert Christopher Soames OBE (born 18 May 1959) is a British businessman, CEO of the outsourcing company Serco. He is a grandson of Winston Churchill, a nephew of one-time Defence Secretary Duncan Sandys and his wife Diana Churchill, of journalist Randolph Churchill, and of actress and dancer Sarah Churchill. His brother is former MP Sir Nicholas Soames.”
https://wiki2.org/en/Rupert_Soames
“What we do
Serco delivers services to governments and other institutions who serve the public or protect vital national interests.”
Well, well, fancy that………….
The expression, ‘Wheels within Wheels’ comes to mind.
Nice chap – he did well with PPE contracts – most generous – nice chap …
I see the Android ‘Truth Social’ from Trump has launched and they are telling me it topped the download chart.
This was several days ago – so I thought I’d check to see what the BBC say about it.
Two articles came up titled:
‘Trump’s Truth Social app branded a disaster’
[With bad pic of Trump looking shifty]
and
‘Trump’s Truth Social barred from Google Play’
[With the worst pic of Trump they had to hand]
And that’s it. No mention at all to make their current reporting correct.
‘Unbiased’ my arse. They need to be shut down.
The BBC have decided that people with large visible tattoos, arms, legs, face, neck etc. are being stigmatised and need their choices validating to block any disagreement, so in their very special way, they devote a huge tattoo support article on their home page.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3vhQ5R4fDxHxGRlwxfNVl34/are-visible-tattoos-acceptable-in-the-workplace.
My personal opinion is that if you are not a drunken sailor with an anchor on your forearm it’s quite simply a scream for attention and quite possibly a psychological “demand to be noticed” to smother your skin with indelible ink.
And don’t get me started on folks with metal rivets sticking out of the noses, ears, lips etc.

– on the tax funded payroll too…
I do have a problem with people who have massive multicoloured tat right across their faces – who go around confronting people with “what are you looking at?”
If shops and bisinesses in nice areas want to attract custom, I dare say that staff with tattoos would be discouraged! Not sure about the more scummy shopping streets and warehouses though…
Nobody really wants to buy something from a bloke or a bird with blue scribble all over their ugly mugs!
Funny how the class ‘Cs’, ‘Ds’ and ‘Es’ all whinge about the cost of lockdown, but can still afford to get plastered with juvenile gibberish which resembles the childish doodling on a notepad while waiting for someone at the local council to answer the call!
And yet the hordes fall over themselves to get a selfie with the one brain cell that is Beckham.

Stop Press PM Qs
The current PM has assured the retention of the triple lock – but not so much on increasing benefits by the rate of inflation ….
Not really the BBC – but as we head toward the end of the year – it’s time to look at the best headline of the year – I like this one from the Mail today –
‘Children’s home manager bought child a TATTOO GUN which they used to give another youngster a permanent inking – as one threatened staff with improvised flamethrower, Ofsted report reveals‘
Priceless …
Usefully they have a list on the CEN web site

Yeah, the same people funding these twerps snarling up West London
Get an excavator, scoop them up and drop them in the nearest pond. I’m sick of these self-entitled idiots.
tomo, let me get this straight: Just Stop Oil are against CO2 Global Warming & Climate Change so they block roads and cause traffic disruption that increase CO2 emissions?
Hmmnnn … I feel a Mr Spock moment coming on: “That is not logical, Captain.”
