Just booted Classic FM off the Dab.
I like John Brunning. A nice voice and manner. And the music is soothing if the ad breaks jar.
But with the Global Propaganda approaching, even he has had to serve up the stunning news to look forward to that idiot activists have been praised by, to quote an ITBB worthy, an ‘unemployed, uneducated Swedish woman with Aspergers.’
The media are beneath contempt.
As one of the last inhabitants of the planet to discover Spotify, the long gasp of a whole cascade of gorgeous British music during the dark hours makes the soul leap to great heights, and the shiver one experiences of some fabulous parts of the latest offering I’m listening to – Vaughan Williams “Sea Symphony” – is just one way to understand that hearing such marvellous music is well worth the tenner a month!
Global news sucks, and as a regular listener to LBC when the lefties aren’t on, it means a quick flick across the iPhone to dim out the dross and also the Norwegians selling ‘cooorsss’ is dead easy and I can now do it with my eyes shut!
See if you can find any ‘Windham Hill’ music there. I introduced a friend to them and he ius hooked. Windham Hill was/is a recording studio with certain artists signed to them – it comes under the genre ‘new age music’ which many people who would appreciate it find offputting, however Vangelis was a Windham Hill artist.
Have a listen to these examples to give you a flavour of what their music is like and perhaps you’ll become hooked too !
Wow!
There’s loads there, Thoughts – thank you so much!
I only ever thought of Vangelis as Jon Anderson’s co-writer several years ago, and this will indeed be a feast to investigate!
Isn’t it so much better to be rewarded with real listening, rather than put up with the dross the awful MSM spew with boring regularity!
Thanks for the tip
Just asked Alexa to play Windham hill music and away we go so different and enjoyable
But if I’d said New age music you’d probably never have gone near it – no idea who came up with that description.
I find the Emmanuel very thought provoking and emotional, but there are many which I find quite deep. Many of the musicians are very accomplished. One is Jim Brickman who is one of the USAs biggest number of hits writers, quite worth exploring, but then there’s a whole catalogue of people to explore too.
I was a huge fan of Classic. Don’t bother now, I tune into Boom Radio, where the DJs struggle to speak through their new teeth. Lol ! but the music is great.
Never heard of them until now!
Thanks Brissles!
A precursor to EV meltdown? (as in critical mass fizzle)
James May likely devastated…. The BBC+ Guardian likely to ignore altogether….
Like covered in an extremely shallow way if at all by the BBC – a wrongful arrest costs £72 million quids – wtaf!
More mad Scottish Government antics … surely the auditors are MIA?
BBC 6pm News re migrant crisis ..
Just thought I would watch to see their angle on it .. Lucky my TV is not smashed to pieces as wanted to throw stuff at it so much ..
Video of Manston courtesy of some lefty organisation ( had credit bottom right of screen ) of children going “help help” behind the fence .. And some lefty woman going “oh no look at the children crying for help ” or some such. Presumably coordinated by phone with those inside by whatever lefty group filmed it ..no video at all of the vast majority fighting age males ..
Then describing the migrant who broke into the Dover woman’s house last week as a ” desperate Albanian boy”
Then “They were going to use a hotel In Hull but locals took out an injunction ” all said in a tone that was suggesting how terrible it was that the horrible locals in Hull objected to a the poor helpless migrants being put into their hotel
So angry..
TV licence cancelled.
Just like Radio 4: constant misdirection – if not outright lying – about what is going on, to gain sympathy for the criminal invaders. Then criticism of the government for not doing enough! I’m looking forward to what Mark Steyn and GB News will make of this later.
I endured the 6.00 BBC news for two minutes and saw Fiona Bruce shaking her head and speaking in a low voice about the poor migrants followed by typical BBC scaremongering that turkeys ‘might’ be in short supply at Christmas. That was enough for me, the off switch beckoned. I really cannot stomach the BBC any more.
Dover MP Natalie Elphicke Writing in The Mail on Sunday..
Elphicke cited a Home Affairs Committee and said that “one to two per cent of Albania’s entire male population under 40 had arrived in Britain across the Channel this year”.
“They are not fleeing wars in the Middle East,” she said. “Albania is a Nato member. A country seeking to join the EU.
“Not that you’d know it from the handwringing rights industry, the charity sector and the skewed reporting of the issue from …. the Left-wing media and the BBC.
“It’s time that those who have hindered Governments’ efforts to end these crossings – a ragbag of union leaders, pro-migrant charities and Left-wing lawyers – now stopped.”
If you were an overpaid, guilt-ridden, Lefty globalist, BBC pseudo-journalist propagandist, who would you choose for an opinion on all the illegals around Dover: Natalie Elphicke or Roger Gale? Rhetorical question, naturally.
Roger Gale has been the rubbish MP in the Thanet area since he had hair, and its time he packed up.
Is Roger Gale a Tory
Daily Express : ‘Staggering! Boris MUST resign’ Tory rebel Roger Gale rages at PM’s party ‘lies’
Why’s he so anti Farage ?
Gale is the MP for north Thanet
when Farage stood in South Thanet the Tories beat him by cheating on election expenses
they dragged out the case but were eventually fined £70K
Gotta hand it to Elon Musk – firing the whole Twitter board – suggestions he has found ways of not paying out shedlosds of $ to the Far Left ex employees …
Toenails is beyond risible.
El Del could have just stopped at “Shall I put you down?”
Wonderfully thick.
Just what Elon wanted, all the gob-shite lefties committing gone offline! Social Media Lemming suicide.
Meanwhile Twitter losses will offset his Tesla profits. The man is genius!
Plus loads of right leaning sign ups!
Grammar boffins, is “in to hotels” correct?
A rather long sentence too.
At schooI I finished bottom of the class – 30th out of 30 😩 ; If only BBC “journalists” had been my competition..

“Braverman comes out fighting
Iain Watson
Political correspondent
Suella Braverman did not apologise for her dislike of putting migrants in to hotels at what she regards as a high cost, but she insisted that this view did not lead her to blocking their use – and she attempted to drain the toxicity from the opposition attack by saying she never ignored legal advice.”
BBC, Guardian, Independent all gone strangely silent on the “horrific” right-wing attack on Paul Pelosi as it becomes possible that the altercation may have involved a left-wing, BLM supporting gay, male prostitute who lived in a sort of hippie community. Plus was apparently arrested in his underpants.
Look! squirrels!
Nothing to see here.
Just imagine if it was Mr T involved.
I also bet it never goes to trial….
They will probably do a Geoffrey Epstein on him!
Addendum… bet our Nancy is spitting feathers which gives me a very warm glow!
It’s Halloween – so all the kidults for miles are setting off their fireworks.. I guess waiting untill Bonfire night would just be too traumatic for their little brains.
Eddy, Halloween in the UK was hi-jacked by our US cousins a few years back, it’s gone so far from what it used to be, a small-scale build up to bonfire night into a weird “Freddie” experience it’s untrue.
If you want to know why this happened, follow the money! Every store stacked with orange plastic crap direct from the USA.
BBC1 The One Show really pushing the Greta Thunberg new book whilst interviewing Greta Thunberg – no conflict of interests there!
Baldrick actor, Tony Robinson, is on next is saying “buy her book, it’s brilliant”. I doubt he has read it but who is controlling the hosts and other guest to promote this book made from cut down trees?
Tabs,
Only caught the last few minutes of it, saw Greta giving bland answers to soft questions from Jermaine Jenas and (I think) Lauren Laverne.
As I say, I didn’t see all of it so I don’t know if the judgemental Greta asked Jermaine to justify his hosting of the World Cup draw for Qatar.
Jenas still driving home ?
Dunno Fed, but Laverne was at pains to tell us that Greta would be taking the train all the way home.
She must have had a proper gander at her itinerary.
See what I did there?
Jenus on a driving ban – 12 months … role model ..
“Had so much promise, wanted to study architecture, etc, etc, etc …”
Did they say much about Greta boycotting COP
whilst libmob insist Rishi is the antiChrist for not going ?
tee-hee
that’s provocative that is 🙂
Statue of Elon ?
The Elon Ranger?
As I watch the ridiculous tit for tat struggle between left and right something comes into focus. What the right have that the left don’t have at all is a sense of humour.
That will eventually save humanity. Just as it has scuppered all the authoritarians on the left from Cromwell to Lenin.
I have had three reminders from my GP to get my covid booster, I am starting to think I might not bother this time, I worry what it might be doing to me.
Or am I risking my health by not getting it?
Also if I dont get it, will it stop me going abroad on holiday next year?
Just wondered what you people think?
He’s after his £15.
When I went for my covid I mentioned that I hope I wouldn’t be on the unexplained deaths stats – the miserable ( but rich ) member of the medical mafia just looked at me with dead eyes …..
… they know when to stay silent …. £… cash cash cash –
Don’t forget to effing clap
WB, have a read through this Thread on TCW:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/mrna-vaccines-injure-the-heart-of-all-vaccine-recipients-and-cause-myocarditis-in-up-to-1-in-27-study-finds/
There are a lot of anti-vaxxer/conspiracy theorists on TCW. I’m, not one of them as I have a slightly more realistic view of BigPharma, vaccines and medications. I haven’t had a Covid vaccine yet but I’m not sure I need one as I think I may have had ‘it’ (ie. Covid) before it became fashionable, so to speak. In addition, I boost my immune system in other ways.
I wouldn’t put anyone off taking a vaccine but just like a good GP, I would say you need to check that it will not harm you. All meds, all vaccines, present a risk to someone somewhere. I can tell a few horror stories including from personal experience.
https://www.rintrah.nl/why-are-embalmers-finding-fiber-clots-in-blood-vessels-of-the-deceased/
Watch the video on the page
I used to follow that guy Rintrah blog for a good few months.
He seems, intelligent, alternative, into mind alerting substances, undertands the science behind covid – behind the bullshit fake vacine
Also the games the government were playing.
But bizarrely, despite seeing right through the covid con etc he’s obsessed with, and has fully fallen for man made global warming.
In my mind it’s impossible to be smart enough to see through the covid con but not the global warming con.
So without any evidence, the conclusion I came to was that he’s just a telling people what they want to hear about covid etc to appear hip, so he draw them in and peddle his crap about Co2 and the environment.
In other words his whole blog, persona etc is just fake, a hook for his religion Climate mania.
I think it shows how inefficient your GP practice is. I have a totally inefficient one who send numerous reminders even if you have already booked your jab. I keep telling them but they usually blame their computer. It never used to happen, but I’m told it is progress.
On a serious note I have just returned from Corfu with no Covid forms, checks or masks required either way. Unless there is a new nasty variant then I believe no changes for travel to most developed countries.
It appears there are far more important crises such as energy, fuel, cost of living, food banks, Suella, Pelosi/hammers, Womens rugby world cup etc to worry about.
I can top that – my GP practice sends reminders the day after you’ve attended an appointment.
Not having mine! Far too much crap going on at senior doc level for me!
I watch Dr John Campbell on YouTube. When covid first appeared he was excellent at looking at all the research, explaining what they were finding, and whether their scientific methods were sound. He was very much pro going and having the jab. He is PhD Nursing rather than medical doctor. Shall I just say he does have some concerns regarding published papers regarding vaccine safety.
In addition there is a consultant cardiologist who is a tv doctor who is asking questions about vaccine safety. I think his name is something like Aseem Mahuptra. Originally on our screens apparently encouraging the jab. Now, not so much.
I have decided to wait rather than rushing to get this latest one. Omicron isn’t as deadly as previous variants. But we must all make our own decisions and live by the consequences.
@Wild Bill it may be safer to wait on the covid booster until more is known about why events like this are happening:

God I hate halloween – the real menace in londonistan is something now …. Lights out
Is it the “legacy population” or the “vibrant enrichers” who are causing the most trouble? I’m genuinely curious.
Mustapha – when coloured labour politicians dig up the disproportionate numbers of coloureds in prison – they might just be too thick to avoid plod – although I would suggest their propensity to violence has a lower threshold than whitee ….
The x2 dead Brixton ‘boys ‘ were – it seems more coloured promising law students /. footballers ….
Bit Darwinian me thinks
In Londonstan now every night is Halloween these days
you draw the curtains, hide behind the sofa and hope the ghouls don’t break in.
6pm ITV local newsPR item where Chris Packham rails about UK filtering out bad old EU environment laws
it was probably recorded weeks ago, cos he he’s been doing the circuit
eg
It’s just a bloody activist club isn’t it!
Stew,
A couple of weeks ago there was a BBC News item which concluded with the presenter saying that the cameraman who filmed it, Raeph Ballantyne, had died a week before.
I hadn’t realised that News isn’t always as “new” as you might think.
Isn’t that great ? TUC says a third of public sector shirkers are contemplating leaving their jobs because of inflation – that’s a lot of leaving doos – I somehow think most public sector workers are counting down the days to their big index linked pension- and if they are really lucky a redundancy pay off ..
Richard Burgon
“Ban Farage”
“Tories are evil”
He got nearly 17,000 likes for that
..many from bots I guess
The 300 replies mostly call him out
Instead of tackling Farage’s arguments
he smeared Farage’s character
.. classic Ad hom .. so it makes Burgon the bully
What the hell does Farage have to offer
.. A different opinion to Burgon’s which is why Burgon is so infuriated
h/t Thomas Evans
I’d have thought that Nigel Farage was an excellent interviewee about Manston, after all he was going to be an MP in Thanet before the big fiddle took place, so he knows a damned sight more about the issues than Burgon!
What a total twat!
Now then, I wonder if this could be the next reason for mass hysteria? Move over covid, now we have…Avian flu…
There’s quite a bit about it on the news…it seems to be getting worse…and the latest is that if you’re keeping birds they have to be kept indoors.
I don’t know if your memory goes back to 2004. I’m bloody ancient, so to me it seems like only last week. Anyway…
A certain professor, who went by the name of Ferguson, was predicting mass human deaths due to bird flu. At one time the worldwide figure he produced was 150,000,000! A few months later, when it appeared no one had taken much notice, he was interviewed by The Guardian. This time his estimate was an absolutely eye watering 200,000,000 folks dying from avian flu. An incredible figure.
Thankfully the good prof’ must have been adding up the wrong line of figures because the worldwide mortality was just over 200. So, he was out by a mere one million percent.
The world governments in the mid 2000’s decided they’d be better off taking advice from Mystic Meg and Psychic Sally.
And they were right.
And yet this is the genius we listened to over covid…
“…he was interviewed by The Guardian. This time his estimate was an absolutely eye watering 200,000,000 folks dying from avian flu. An incredible figure.”
As it was the Graun, their usual typo meant that it was actually the number of normal citizens who DON’T read their dreadful rag!
Yesterday I received a two page missive via snail mail from the UK Chief Vet (Christine Middlemiss) / DEFRA about the outbreak of avian flu.
It asked me to register my stock of chickens / other birds in preparation for the avian flu. (I live in a town and don’t even have a budgie)
I wonder if Professor Pantsdown and his team of crack catastophists have a contract to produce scary projections this time around.
No desire by the BBC to investigate these claims that Bolsonaro supporters are being murdered in the streets of Brasil. Just endorsement of the defeat of the far far far right .
The Brazilians have succumbed to the lefty cult of anything goes yoof. It may take a little time before the shit hits the fan but be sure it will. Brazil will then descend into a bigger shithole than it is now and it will cost many lives along the way.
Sooner or later the truth will out.
It quite astounding what the BBC will ignore when it goes against the far-left agenda.
Their propaganda and partisan levels have been steadily increasing and now we cannot trust them at all to report the truth.
The Left are now the modern day Nazis. They are absolutely intolerant and openly show their hatred – which nobody questions. It’s history repeating itself yet again.
Yet another unpleasant, front-page headline attacking Braverman I see. It will not stop until she goes. Then – when they take a dislike to someone else – they will do it again.
It’s been Boris, Truss and now Braverman. All consecutively and all through the abuse of power by Leftist media with the BBC at the front. No sane person can think is is just unfortunate coincidence for the Right. They must be stopped.
There are a clique of reverend voices that are go to by the BBC, the BBC are not concerned that they are usually totally wide of the mark as long as they spout the doomsday mantra over and over again.
Seems Packham supports sterilising the countryside by building solar farms over it
over nature attracting golf courses.
Nancy Pelosi was out partying tonight for Halloween, her horror mask looked remarkably like Nancy Pelosi.
The best-placed people to stop migrant crossings are the Albanian mafia.
The Home Secretary should employ them to lock down the Channel (on both sides).
It’d be a lot cheaper than what we have at the moment and likely rather effective.
Greenpeace are paying to put dramaqueening claims from Monbiot at the top of my Facebook feed.
New rules from “Cruella Braverma” which he claims impose retrospective bans on people who took part in protests in the last 2 years ..
.. He’s surely playing the victim there.
It is GreenSupremacists who are on the foothills of fascism as they think their beliefs should be imposed on the rest of us, and that includes great controls and bans on OUR freedoms.
Diversihee innit bruv:
“Halloween bedlam as ‘gangs hurl fireworks into crowds at London Stratford station including at police’
London Stratford descended into mayhem on Halloween
Suspected gangs allegedly hurled fireworks at crowds by the station
The Metropolitan Police said a teenage girl was arrested ”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11375231/Halloween-bedlam-gangs-hurl-fireworks-crowds-London-Stratford-station.html
If someone was killed or maimed it would be a story
I’m quite close to Stratford – but I avoid going there as much as I can – being a whitee is a victim in the making …
That’s lovely. By the way, I don’t suppose you could lend me a fiver til pay day?
It’s amazing how the Pelosi/hammer story has been completely dropped by the BBC.
There’s a lot of information coming out about DePape and most of it is not what the likes of the BBC want to hear. They prefer to leave him painted as a far-right Trump supporter.
Yes, the BBC did their usual trick of headlining a story that suits their agenda, then disappearing it when inconvenient facts start to emerge.
They will probably never correct their early account, or they’ll relegate any correction to a ‘back page’ on their webshite.
Defund the BBC!
While looking for information on DePape, I stumbled across an article in the New York Times which was open for comments.
Jesus H Christ. The Left are absolutely chock full of hate for Trump and anyone who supports him. There is no logic or reason in their arguments. It’s a bit scary to read and it makes me think of the period of the rise of the Nazis. I am certain they would just ‘get rid’ of the Right if they could. I see the same hate in twitter comments on the rare occasion I end up there.
Woman dead and another injured in Dagenham double stabbing
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-63428588
The pair were attacked at a house in Auriel Avenue, Dagenham, on Sunday evening in what police called “a truly shocking incident”.
No details of victims ar attacker. Another ‘shocking’, brutal murder in London following the murder of the two Muslims a day ago and unless I missed it, this one didn’t make the front page of UK news either.
‘Joey Barton cleared of assaulting his wife Georgia’ is clearly more important as it is up there – as is yet another attempt to sow panic with ‘Christmas turkey fears as England bird flu rules widened’.
Sounds like it might be another ‘Black lives don’t matter one bit to the far-Left when they can’t be used for the political agenda’ story.
.”Suella Braverman says she will fix broken asylum system”
Tory ‘Wets’ criticise her?
What does Labour have as an answer?
Unless something is done quickly there will be civil unrest.
Someone needs to defend the nation!
Today I saw she was accused of breaking the law because she wasn’t providing enough hotel rooms for the illegal immigrants.
It’s off-the-scale lunacy. Plus she’s only been in the job for 5 minutes.
It’s the continuation of the Globalist coup. They won’t stop until they get an election. The only reason they aren’t going after Sunak is that he isn’t white.
… and now the top headline at the BBC is accusing Braverman of using ‘inflammatory language’.
Who will put an end to this partisan madness at the BBC ?. They are traitors to their country. I can think of no better way to say it.
The BBC campaign against suella braverman continues using a standard method of bias – namely report on what the Mirror – Guardian and ‘I’ say – but not on any supportive national paper.
It’s an easy technique being fully used today
On the upside the msm is finally having to notice what has been going on for months and years …. An invasion by criminals and third world vermin .
Full broadcast mode is when they feel safe.
The bio is so classic.
The reply superb.
If he had a brain he’d just want to curl up and lie in a train corridor with a pr team.
On the channel invasion – I think the reasons for the failure to stop it are
1 France (EU) actively encouraging / facilitating the invasion
2 UK Home Office supporting the invasion – obstructing any solution
3 the blue tories failing to challenge the Home Office and enable laws and rules to be changed – eg withdrawal from the ECHR – derogating from any treaty / law facilitating invasion
4 UK law enforcement failing to prevent gang operation
5 msm – bbc – ignoring the issue – and effectively enabling the invasion .
I’d treat the issue as a war – and use force to stop the invasion – making it clear that they will not be landing in the UK ….and the consequences are their responsibility …
The Powers That Be could have stopped the invasion when the pandemic was at its height. After all who wants a great mass of moving people when a disease is spreading throughout the world ? Who should be expected to receive unscreened strangers at a time of emergency?
They could have told the invaders that no way , while the emergency lasts , that anyone breaking into our country would settle here ; ever . The invaders could have been put on the idle ships and kept out of the UK .
Why didn’t they do it ? Because it would have shown that they could do something about it but the Gramscis don’t want it .
They want them here.
Seems Springster is out about serving Labour things through their bubble network.
BBC, of blocking and FOI fame, asks questions.
Obviously meant to look like they are in a cage. The wire looks fake – and even if it isn’t, there’s no way that sized wire + mesh would be used for that purpose.
Shameless, lying BBC scum.
They have an IT guru with his lappy at home to illustrate burn out.
Let’s just say Getty Images Kingston has seen a licensing boost.
If this is supposed to represent the plight of our dinghy dodging “refugees” then it’s clearly misleading.
There’s a woman sitting there…
Nearly all of these people are fit, fighting age men. Why?
That’s one of the five questions the BBC won’t be asking…
Suella Braverman says she will fix broken asylum system
Apparently
Maybe upgrades in hotel room? 4 to 5star, butler, just a few options the bBC would like.
She ll just be another Priti Patel with a lot of words but nothing else .
By the look of it even if she wanted to achieve anything her advisers , the civil servants and her boss do not support her and just wait for her to be gone – again….
I don’t understand why we have a ‘government’ in the first place. The cabinet appears to be an expensive layer of management that is completely ignored by the civil service who run the country for themselves.
Hello Moggie
thats why we booted out the eu (expensive layer etc)
I don’t believe that ever happened either. The only difference I can see is that anybody British needs a passport to enter the EU while anybody in the world just needs a dinghy to enter the UK.
These things are best not left to Twitter.
Or the BBC’s growing collection of singular voice finders.
Next up, Dan.
He was on Classic FM the other day. A voice for sofa sloth tv.
Language and the preoccupations of those who use it edition
Wales football wants name change to Cymru (Telegraph)
Among the more tediously predictable of lazy journalistic perennial fall backs has to be that word of the year trope. Dictionary publishers of course enjoy the rare PR splash they receive cheaply garnered by echoing back to the media those very same naff new coinings the media has been bandying about with such relish and now has yet another excuse to ram them down the earholes hoping to stimulate the over-taxed brains of their audience.
Tax rises for all (‘i’); Tax rises for all in Rishi budget (Daily Mail)
For example, today, the BBC declares with unmistakable relish: Permacrisis and Partygate among words of the year – we deduce the Beeb were rather keen on Partygate because click on the clickbait and their more precise headline reads: Permacrisis declared Collins Dictionary word of the year
And what journo stuck-to-the-desk with an antipathy toward actual investigation of news – and by the way a reflexive anti-conservative – wouldn’t enjoy the notion of a Permacrisis? The very word does half your journalistic and lefty propagandistic work for you.
Cross reference with a past contender for apparent word of the year: Omnishambles – informal•British – a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterised by a string of blunders and miscalculations. Omnishambles is a neologism first used in the BBC political satire The Thick of It in 2009
Permacrisis – a word describing the feeling of living through a period of war, inflation, and political instability – has been chosen as Collins Dictionary word of the year. It “sums up just how truly awful 2022 has been for so many people”, said Alex Beecroft, head of Collins Learning. (BBC) – which all rather turns on your political outlook.
Significantly, our BBC pretends this isn’t a political article. Helen Bushby writes (or polishes Collins’s PR release) under the banner of Entertainment and Arts
[Permacrisis] led Collins’s annual compilation of 10 words or phrases which “reflect our ever-evolving language and the preoccupations of those who use it” – ain’t that a thing!
Quiet quitting also made the list.
This phrase is “the act of doing one’s basic duties at work and no more, either by way of protest or to improve work/life balance” – careful, BBC, that one must strike a bit near the knuckle around the office.
Alex Beecroft, head of Collins Learning… – I’ve no idea what that job title implies – said it was understandable that people may feel “we are in an ongoing state of uncertainty and worry”, after “living through upheaval caused by Brexit, the pandemic, severe weather, the war in Ukraine, political instability, the energy squeeze and the cost-of-living crisis” – a chap certainly after the BBC’s own heart there, that’s for sure. Blimey, he name checked the entire litany of project fear agenda. No mention of crime and hyper-immigration or indeed the decay of English cultural particularism. Gotta love how Brexit topped his list of bugbears ahead of the dread Four Horsemen of pestilence, war, famine and… the other one.
Collins’s lexicographers said several words on the list relate to these crises.
Words, eh?
Alarm at Braverman’s immigration rhetoric – frets the formerly patriotic Times
Senior Tories condemn home secretary over talk of Channel ‘invasion’ (Times) – by senior Tories we understand their proper definition to be those formerly-conservative but now arch-liberal figures wearing blue rosettes of convenience come election time.
I’m noticing surprisingly often now the Times frontpage to be a close simulacrum of that of the Guardian, which today goes with the near identikit top story and headline: Braverman increases the refugee rhetoric as pressure to quit grows – we note however the further lefty-liberal flourish consisting of the word refugee for immigration.
Frankly, it does get tough to do these newspaper compare and contrast reviews as the various titles increasingly sing the same lefty anthems from the self-same lefty liberal hymn sheet.
At a BBC Bimbo vigil for cheaper £200 overcoats, plus €tax?
Blackouts a last resort?
Stating the mindcrushingly obvious there… it’s a ‘resort ‘ is it? – as if, when it gets to that stage – the cretins actually have a choice in what happens when generation falls short of demand.
It’s all too easy to say that neither the BBC or National Grid are fit for purpose – having been stuffed with gormless woke nitwits intent on gender quotas and diversity hires.
Let’s blow up another power station.

The original tweet said
“Chicago trains drive through fire ”
Strangely that refers to a 28 January story
“Chicago trains drive over flaming tracks
– A transport company that runs train services in Chicago has been lighting fires on train tracks to prevent delays.
This method is regularly used to avoid tracks from freezing and causing trains to stop moving during cold winter months when the temperature drops below -1C (30F)”
Tragic.
The BBC quota employees are chomping at the bit to write empathy stories with no responsibility to any truth.
It’s all they can do.
Tragic for sure – but why is the BBC wasting UK license-payers money to dig into it so deeply ?. It’s another country completely.
An excellent example of why the BBC must go to a subscription model. British people should not be forced to pay for stuff like this.
I fail to understand why mad marxists get so upset about calling a spade a spade.
What would they prefer that Suella B. calls an ‘invasion’ – ‘a special boat operation’ ?

How very non-EU. Are they not supposed to collect and deliver?
Not particularly BBC (yet), but apparently Rishi and Jeremy might possibly freeze international aid to help reduce the deficit. Here’s an old idea- put ourselves first for a change and scrap it altogether, and to hell with the hand-wringing lefties. Why is this country so bloody soft?
The news reader just used a politicians first name in linking news items.
Story #1 “Pressure on Suella Braverman. to resign… Hull Labour MP says blah blah, here’s a clip”
clip
Newsreader “Picking up from DIANA said the Humber View hotel injunction ….”
That’s very cosy, using the first name there.
typo ““Picking up from what DIANA said, the Humber View hotel injunction ….”
The bBC is really gunning for the home secretary
Surely after overturning a few PMs recently, they need their wings clipping as the left just believe what ever the likes of the bBC turn them
Seems there’s an old boys outing today.
Every one spouting from behind a lovely protected pension.

As we face mass invasion what kind of message is this report trying to tell us with its images ?
Where are the broadcasting standers?
Elon Musk dissolves Twitter’s board of directors

Normal practice when a company buy another – so nothing to see here!
Elon for President!
THE BBC, a public broadcaster, blocks and bans those it needs force to pay for it, on top of excepting from most FOis.
Nothing to see there either.
