      — “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony. … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” – Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment

      — “The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models.” – Professor Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.

      — “The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.” – Dr David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University.

      — “It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.” – Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace.

      Quite right, Guest!

      Nobody I know believes a word the awful BBC spouts, they really are a joke these days!

      I have found only yesterday, after friendly chats with chums and neighbours, that even more normal citizens are just fed up (not you Sir), with the imbalance of the ethnic crud chucked in our faces by dreadful re-enactment of the creed of being British!

    BBC News website, one hour ago:
    “Newport: Three sentenced for enslaving vulnerable man”
    The sentenced are Jokubas Stankevicius, his wife Ruta Stankeviciene and Normunds Freibergs.
    Bloody hell, those Welsh names are unpronounceable.

      Sounds similar to the story line in The Archers last year! Coincidentally the slavemaster in that was also Welsh the local builder Philip Moss who when things were getting a bit hot sold the slaves too a posh woman called Victoria…only in BBC world would that happen! It’s usually Esatern Europeans as in this case or gypsies stop playing us for fools BBC.

      Police probably made a huge thing of this, hence making ‘a news story’. They seem to love ‘offences’ such as modern slavery, female genital mutilation, anything vaguely racist or homophobic, even those these are few and far between. Often the supposed offence is shoehorned into a category because the victim happens to mention they drunkenly kissed a person of the same sex 7 years ago(homophobic) or their boss told them to ‘hurry up’(modern slavery).
      Then the balloon really does go up. Invariably all Police officers, police staff, police dogs etc are required (forced) to undertake comprehensive e learning modules to thrash out the apparent bias in them- obviously not undertaking any police work whilst engaged in said e learning, but it’s good for the soul and sod the general public and their stupid burglaries.
      Interestingly police can serve a form on foreign nationals which is brought to the attention of the court/judge when they appear and is a request for deportation on completion of their sentence in a cushy uk prison. It does work, but is rarely used, obviously due to officers being engaged on e learning/ diversity/ equality courses.

        It seems to me that today’s policeperson is more likely to nick me for posting a hurtful internet comment about the lady next door than if I murdered her. If I murdered her i could probably plead insanity and the jury would be so intimidated by the Left Wing judge that I would spend a couple of years in clink and all would be forgotten.
        However, if I had written an online comment to which she had taken offence I would likely have been banned for life .
        Then again I have a white hide which appears to alter the equation somewhat. Do you get my drift?

    Just spent the evening with residents and ‘natives’ of Gibraltar I.E born there.

    They assure me that Moroccans sometimes arrive by boat, rather like many tens of thousands of some others readers may be able to think of.
    They are swiftly caught, put through due process and quickly returned to Morocco in almost all cases.

    The good people of Dover may well wonder why their ‘visitors’ cannot be treated in the same way.

    And I confidently expect all but a few rabid left wing open door immigration zealots would think the same.

    Musk buys Twitter…. Hints that Trumps account may be restored….Hours later police arrest a man trying to find and harm Nancy Pelosi in her home. The BBC report he was chanting slogans not unlike those used in the Capitol incident. Mr Pelosi was taken to hospital but is not seriously harmed….(if harmed at all!)

    How bloody convenient is that?

    I smell the Dems and the CIA all over this! It’s exactly how they have worked all along.

    They are shit scared of Trump is the bottom line and will do whatever it takes, however devious to keep him away from Power.

      Shrill “liberal” (Blue Tick) nitwits on Twitter were blaming it on Trump literally minutes after it was announced when no detail had been released.

      Handily just a few days ago there were a rash of claims (reported on Twitter) that Jan 6th peeps were out to assassinate Pelosi.

    My biggest problem with the bbc has always been is what they don’t report on.
    Pakistani peodophiles.
    Muslim racism.
    BLM violence.
    Anything critical about black people in general.

    This makes my blood boil though.
    Nancy Pelosi’s husband has been attacked which is abhorrent, but in the entire article it never mentions their dubious wealth which was made through insider stock trading.

    Do they think we’re stupid and don’t have access to the internet?
    Apparently the Pelosi’s are on the bbc approved list of fiddling shit bags.

    So nothing to see here.

      I agree with all of you who have suspicions about this. I thought it stank of rotten fish from the word go: the convenient pre-electoral timing, casting the revolting Pelosis as victims, implicating someone who may be revealed to be a MAGA Republican. Radio 4 gave this number one billing (!) just before the pseudo-democracy vox pop of Friday’s “Any Questions?” which I don’t listen to any longer as the bias is unbearable.

      The pair pledged an “ambitious package of measures” to be announced this autumn.
      However I have inside knowledge.

      French gendarmes will be instructed to say ‘Merde’ a lot, tell the invaders that their mother was a hamster and their father smelt of elderberries and as a last resort to threaten to fart in their general direction.
      Additionally gendarmes will no longer be allowed to smoke more than 10 Citanes during their shift and lunch breaks will be severely restricted to 2 hours 55 minutes.
      Garlic will be vigorously rubbed into the fabric of all rubber dinghies during manufacture to deter all but the French.

      Border Farce will now operate in unmarked boats posing as fishermen and will whistle nonchalantly, whilst reeling in a mackerel if any dingy approaches.
      A remote controlled plastic ‘Jaws lookalike shark water based drone’ will be deployed to circle passing dinghies in the hope they will be panicked into turning back.
      The UK now be supplying the migrants with very itchy woolly blankets if and when they are taken aboard the safety of the Border Farce boats in the hope that word will get out.
      Numerous signs will be placed on French beaches in several languages indicating that Gary Lineker and the Sunny View hotel in Dover has ‘No vacancies’.

    Am I alone here in being relegated to the BBC’s Naughty Step, aka Annex B? (Last page https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/sites/default/files/2020-06/BBC_Complaints_Framework.pdf)

    I was placed there a few weeks ago after, yet again, trying to educate the BBC News team about something of which they obviously knew nothing. I think their intention was for me to send less complaints but it has actually had the opposite effect, and I managed no less than five in one day a few days ago. Certainly their responses have dried up.

    I sent one in about the giggling bint on BBC News last weekend, and got a reply! I sent another complaint, accusing them of wasting their time and my money by responding.

    Guess what. Men and women have different bodies. This is based on the dummies used to test injuries in car smashes. You see, most of the dummies resemble male bodies which is unfair on wimmin who are not getting enough protection.
    And I thought gender was a mental construct.

    Diversity needed for car crash dummies.
    ——————————————-
    ” CEO Christopher O’Connor told the BBC he believes that safety has “advanced significantly over the last 20, 30, 40 years” but it “really hasn’t taken into account the differences between a male and a female”.

    “You can’t have the same device to test a man and a woman. We’re not going to crack the injuries we are seeing today unless we put sensors there to measure those injuries.

    “By measuring those injuries we can then have safer cars with safer airbags, with safer seatbelts, with safer occupant compartments that allow for different sizes.”

      The narrative in the NEW bbc article is very popular
      and been big in US politics cos some senator was introducing a bill 3 years ago.

      Its the same old “women are the victims men are evil”
      And posits that if cars start having some new special female dummies women in car accidents will then start dying less and have lighter injuries.
      Funny how libmob spend most of their time telling us women are the same as men and can have penises, and now they are back to
      “actually there are 2 distinct sexes”

      I smell BS ..The people who test cars are not evil, they do want the cars to be safe for everyone, they care about men women and children ..and think that since humans come in a huge range of sizes, its not really about the average, you have to look st the ends of the ranges, that is why the standard female dummy test uses a small female .

      I quote a line gender baiter CCP hides at the end of her Feb 2029 Guardian article
      When I spoke to EuroNCAP, a European organisation that provides car safety ratings for consumers, they said that since 2015 they have used male and female dummies in both front-crash tests, and that they base their female dummies on female anthropometric data”.

      Here in July a thread where testers defend their female dummies.

    Maxincony statistics.

    Time since he last posted before this thread ; 18 days .

    Number of threads ; 13

    Number of posts between Maxi’s last and today ; 2956 .

    Number of questions answered by Maxi ; 0

    Conclusion:
    Maxi has to be really sure of himself before he ventures out of his comfort zone but it does have to be acknowledged that he does spasmodically make an effort . His later posts are getting earlier in the evening but this may be due to a shift change at work .
    Maxi is not unintelligent and if he could could be “ unbrainwashed “ he could well be a useful member of society.

    Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul recovering after hammer attack surgery
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63435554

    So just before the mid-term elections, someone breaks in and attack Nancy Pelosi’s husband. And we just happen to be given an instant and complete history of his ‘far-right’ status (which the BBC mention multiple times).

    And social media is suddenly full of it – and the Leftist media are directly blaming Trump for it already. I believe The Guardian staff have actually wet their knickers in the excitement.

    No pictures of Paul yet though. A remarkably convenient story : Nancy is fine and able to get in front of the cameras to exploit it. She will now use it to it’s absolute fullest extent against Trump and I have a feeling any pictures of Paul we might see very soon are going to show lots of bandages around his head and arms (like a carry-on film) but none of the actual injuries.

    I don’t trust these people one bit. There is no limit to how low they will go in their desperation to hold on to power.

    Yes, those blacks and muzzies you see in every antique shop and auction house without fail. How hard did the bbc try, to find these ?
    Just like the ONE SINGLE black farmer in the UK at the time the bbc found to comment on an agricultural story.

    All sorts of stuff is being alleged about what happened in the assault – but we are not told what the police are saying or who the person is or whether he is charged ….

    …and then – a tone of misery from the BBC – but because a couple of Eastern European economists have ‘found out ‘ that most of the overseas giveaway budget it being used to nationalise the Uk hotel industry in order to find places for illegal – criminal invaders to the UK – ‘only ‘ £3 000 000 000
    3 billion pounds of taxpayers ‘ borrowed money is thrown away on ‘overseas projects ‘….

    The BBC doesn’t like landlords – landlords are far right capitalists by default – so when it reports on inflation in rental fees in the private sector you know where it is going …..

    And it concentrates on the ‘plight ‘ of university students finding it difficult to get accommodation – answer – go get a real job rather than a 3 year jolly studying useless subjects ….

    But more seriously – there is a denial of the effect of huge increases in the population – from any place – of any colour – of any religion –
    If arrivals go up by hundreds of thousands every year what -exactly – is to be expected —-BBC?

      I think the investigation into sex on submarines will recommend that there should be ‘all girl’ ‘all queer ‘ and ‘all chaps’ submarines . All colour coded of course .

      If the navy is anything like the met plod – which announced it has over 30% lady plods – it should be able to follow my recommendation .

      The idiot who decided it would be a good idea to put ladies amongst chaps inside a submarine – needs treatment or counselling …. But HMS Woke is HMS woke ….

        Yep, agree with that Fed. No matter how hard skinned a woman can be when faced with ‘banter from the boys’, having to deal with it on a daily basis must be mentally wearing. A woman can laugh it off initially, then it becomes boring, then it turns into aggression by telling them to Foxtrot Oscar – which, when there is a gang of them only encourages them more. Its basically being mentally gang raped. Although on the recent story, mariners have seen the girls as “toys for the boys”.

        Clearly submarines are men only spaces, as they can’t be trusted to behave appropriately. Perhaps throwing a few Trans into the mix might help. Just saying.

    Then interview into with Bez ..cos he’s a lefty popstar
    prog also featured the blind footballer Rainbow Mbuangi

    10:30am The Food prog is supposed to be an audience asks questions
    Yet the opening was a sneer at the Britishness of St George.
    Now we are into a long item on Jamaican food
    ..now Maroons the escaped slaves.

    Next question “How do I cook the Jamaican dish, curried goat ?”
    I think there are 2 Jamaicans on the BBC panel

    Of course the presenter Jay Rayner is a BBC lefty wokist.

    prog blurb “Bringing the panel together in agreement is 2-Tone Café chef Angela Knight whose speciality is Jamaican cooking.
    Melissa Thompson talks of the fascinating origins of pimento berries and jerk in the mountains of Jamaica,
    and Dr Annie Gray looks at the history of the island’s cuisine in the UK.”

    Interesting look at this huge prison a year or two ago.
    Makes you wonder what’s happening in these Ukrainian jails now; exactly the type of question BBC’s ‘journalists’ should ask.
    Eight months ago they had brief reports of Zelensky offering freedom for the countries military trained inmates, in return for army enlistment. Nothing updated since.
    That was back in the days of handing out guns to civilians and molotov cocktail factories on every street corner.

    I caught an interview on Talk TV with Sir Roger Gayle the Tory MP for North Thanet and in ten minutes it demonstrated everything that is wrong with the modern Tory party.
    The topic was the illegal immigrants on the south coast which isn’t far from Sir Roger’s constituency. He said plenty such as :
    international law must be adhered to, only a grown up solution would , there should populist no dog whistle politics, these people were not criminals despite them entering our country illegally, proposals such as Rwanda were ridiculous. He suffers from extreme oikophobia , he hates us.
    But even when asked repeatedly he made no comment about how these migrants impacted on British people, on how we were supposed to cope with them all, the impact of the criminals who certainly do exist within the ranks.
    Basically , just like the rest of scum who inhabit Westminster , he doesn’t give a toss about us . Well I don’t give a toss about them and will shed no tears if , having found that two party democracy cannot solve the problems of the indigenous majority , other means of solving it are found.

      How much has Owen Jones made?
      Owen Jones’ salary is not a matter of public record.

      However, his second book sold well according to politcal blog Media Guido.

      The website estimated Owen made around £471,489 from his second book in 2015.

      At the time the right wing blog claimed the books had sold 143,212.

      ‘Fantastic, timely, eye-opening’ Armando Iannucci, New Statesman, Books of the Year
      ‘Captures a collective sense of anger and awakening’ Matt Haig, Observer, Books of the Year

      Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process. In exposing this shadowy and complex system that dominates our lives, Owen Jones sets out on a journey into the heart of our Establishment, from the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms and trading rooms of Fleet Street and the City. Exposing the revolving doors that link these worlds, and the vested interests that bind them together, Jones shows how, in claiming to work on our behalf, the people at the top are doing precisely the opposite. In fact, they represent the biggest threat to our democracy today – and it is time they were challenged.

        June Sarpong’s salary as diversity champion for the BBC has been brought into question.

        While HRC was US Secretary of State, President Obama also left the post of Inspector General of the State Dept. vacant. The IG role is supposed to provide oversight for what the State Dept. does, and rumour has it that HRC demanded of Obama that she wanted no such oversight of what she was doing while SOS.
