      Doh political greens think their policies must be pushed through without a *pause for thought*
      Here they organised a huge trip
      but failed to do proper planning
      No one realised it’s illegal to drive into Saudi in a left hand drive car.
      So they were refused at the border
      “Instead of driving into Doha ahead of Wales’ first game against the USA on Monday, they flew in
      BTW that wasn’t their only flight either
      They flew from Athens to Israel as well

      “18 days across 17 countries and 3,800 miles”
      That’s 1,200 miles short.
      Do Greens really care about CO2 ?

      World Cup 2022: Fifa president Gianni Infantino accuses West of ‘hypocrisy’
      https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63687412

      … and of course the BBC are fully behind him. Look what they chose to quote:

      “Of course I am not Qatari, Arab, African, gay, disabled or a migrant worker. But I feel like them because I know what it means to be discriminated and bullied as a foreigner in a foreign country.

      “As a child I was bullied because I had red hair and freckles. I was bullied for that.”

      Off-the-scale hypocrisy. Him for money, the BBC for their anti-white agenda.

    Probably old news and apologies if covered by others but must mention a touching story on the BBC a couple of days back.

    A woman was finally leaving hospital after some 200 plus days having had really bad covid. She nearly died. A child she was carrying was successfully delivered by Caesarean section. She had two other children.

    Here’s the thing. The woman was in hospital for so long that some Romanian speaking staff had enough time to teach her to speak English!

    Isn’t that nice that the NHS is quite literally for the whole world, and the BBC clearly want us to celebrate the fact.
    Though only UK taxpayers pay for it.

    Well said Jeff. At the price of the Internet- using sparingly I am getting news from Sky news, when the TV deigns to get a ‘signal’. Technology, huh!
    Brissles reporting in from the Straits on the way to Malaga, after a bumpy start. Remember the film Poseidon Adv ? Not THAT bad clearly but it was pretty hairy crossing Biscay in a Force 12 when I was staring 6 metre waves in the face ! The medical centre was a tad busy for 18 hours.
    Covid still being used as an excuse for everything that isn’t up to scratch on board ship. Although I wasn’t prepared for the ghost towns that La Coruna and Cadiz have become. Once thriving towns just 3 years ago with an abundance of fabulous shops, restaurants and bars. All gone. The pandemic has done its worst. Shops stand empty or boarded up, so its not just the UK with a crap economy. It was unbelievably depressing. I’ll see what Gibraltar brings and the state of play in Malagar and Lisbon. Won’t hold my breath.

    Ukraine war: Rishi Sunak visits President Zelensky in Kyiv as he pledges £50m in aid
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63687045

    Zelensky finally tripped the switch in my brain a while back and I now consider him to be a complete liar and a fraud. Like all actors.

    And from what I’ve seen of Sunak over the last few days, we have a complete wet-lettuce for a PM. He’s got ‘banker’ written all over him.

    There is no way I will be voting Tory next time if things stay like this.

      What they don’t tell you is that
      a. The suicide rate for people goes up as they go through gender re-assignment surgery
      b. People who have transitioned are less confident and relaxed in their own skin.

      Thus the idea that transitioning somehow makes you feel better in yourself is shown to be false.
      Which makes you wonder what the motives of those who advocate it actually are.

      Maybe instead we should think more about those with Klinefelter syndrome, who have absolutely no choice in the matter, no publicity or advocates, and yet are numerically equivalent to those above.

    I like to watch Tucker Carlson for a different view . He has a recent segment on FTX – the chrypto currency fraud operation used to finance the democrats in the run up to the midterms .

    Now I don’t know what crptyo currency is – in fact I can’t spell it . But I do like to see a fraud exposed – and the character who ran the fraud – linked at the hip to the democrat regulators and media – is a classic of our time .

    And I use that much abused word ‘classic ‘ by choice . He has admitted using the ‘woke agenda ‘ as a cloak for his activities …he is yet to face justice – being outside US jurisdiction .

    I suspect he may get ‘epsteined ‘ ….

    But the reason I raise it here is the lack of coverage for this huge fraud – apparently the biggest loss of money in one day ever – and if that is fact then the hyperbole fits .

    Am I wrong ? Have I missed the news ?

    Is this fraud the pre cursor to the big melt down of money so many are talking about and predicting – or is it just the fear v greed emotion …?

        Something like this:
        1. Biden administration gives hundreds of billions to Ukraine (fact).
        2. Zelensky regime ‘invests’ some of this money in FTX (fact).
        3. Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX, is second largest donor to Democrat Party, giving $5.2 million to Biden campaign in 2020 and $40 million to Democrats in 2022 Mid-term elections (fact).

        Some might describe that as a money-laundering scheme…

        One likely outcome is that the US authorities will use the episode to clamp down, regulate and then ban crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, prior to introducing a single, official Federal Bank-based digital currency in accordance with WEF proposals.

          How did Zelensky invest in ftx?, did he buy stock in it, or use the exchange to buy crypto.
          The country is under martial law, he’s the law.
          Unsavoury but I guess not illegal, the money wasn’t dirty so hardly laundering.

          Sam Bankman-Fried showers political parties with money, similar donations happens every day not illegal either.

          Crypto looks very unregulated in USA, , so what if anything was illegal / fraudulent?

        There’s a lot of merit in giving taxpayers in an element of discretion in how their tax is spent. For instance, basic tax is 20p in the pound, but the tax return could include an option whereby the taxpayer could choose to pay an extra penny and specify from a short list of options where that additional tax would go on a hypothecated basis e.g. education, NHS, defence, social services, transport, environment etc.

      theisland,

      I’ll wager not a single, similar worded letter will be going off to the Governments of Third World countries when the ‘Repatriation’ payments to despots for The West’s ‘creation’ of Climate Change will be made.

    I Nellie Pledge to thee, my country edition

    If you don’t want to know about it – look away now – the World Cup is all over our newspaper frontpages. Plus, oddly enough, lots of news of stuff that didn’t ought to be done in front of the horses.

    It’s not exactly news from, or of the World Cup – in reality it’s like more chat about the World Cup – but that’s how most of our media tends to work these days.

    Whatever the weather

    Of course the BBC prefers to headline the World COP: Historic deal struck to help countries worst-hit by climate change

    The leftist Observer makes no bones about what’s going on here: Poor nations on brink of victory at climate talks

    But moving quickly on from one corrupt globalist elite virtue-signalling supranational festival of guff that comes around way too soon after the last…

    Ah, the headlines – or where the internet is concerned – the clickbait… so what’s in a headline, eh?

    Our BBC demands of the masses that populate the web, almost as though it were enticement to revolt: Will you be allowed to watch the World Cup at work?

    Land on the BBC news web page and you’ll see the less bolshi enquiry: Will you watch the World Cup at work? – forwards on to a Business report and you’ll see the restored man-the-barricades (so long as it stands ten yards back from where the free kick is being taken): Will you be allowed to watch the World Cup at work?

    Hint, hint, you could always get your union to time one of your one day strikes to coincide with an England match.

    By the way, how come Fifa hasn’t gotten around yet to re-writing the 9.15 meter rule? Watch this space…

    What a gay day – was a catchphrase from popular 70s TV entertainer Larry Grayson. You remember the 1970s – when gays weren’t properly represented on TV

    And what a gay day indeed it is in the popular press. The Sun on Sunday goes with: Boy George quit threat

    Boy George – we did enjoy his 1980s pop. You remember the 1980s – when gays weren’t…

    Gulf buggers ban?

    I’m oddly reminded here of Hylda Baker in the part of Nellie Pledge from archaic TV sitcom Nearest and Dearest and her habitual exclamation on meeting Gilbert the evidently gay character: “And what have you come as today?”

    Boy George threatened to quit I’m a celebrity in an explosive rant at crew after they refused him a ride in a golf buggy. The singer, 61, stormed off, stole an apple, then hid behind trees so he could not be filmed (Sun)

    Some of those bush tucker trials can be punishing and humiliating for the celebs. Still, at least they don’t handcuff them to a wall and bash them with a metal chain

    Seems Fifa’s smiling baldy goblin-like boss Gianni Infantino has misspoke: FIFA boss defends Qatar over human rights record and brands West ‘racist’ (Sunday Express)

    Do you get the impression the epithet ‘racist’ has now degenerated into no more than a reflexive meaningless catch-all term of disapproval?

    Welcome to Qatar’s grand festival of bonkers – says the Sunday Times – I feel as though this loss of a sense of reality these days is not confined to the wealthy gulf micro state. By the way, the formerly patriotic Sunday Times is cock-a-hoop about the next step in reversing Brexit: Britain mulls Swiss-style ties with Brussels

    MPs blast ‘idiotic’ rant and say he’s lost the plot on the eve of the big kick-off (Express) – not manlet Rishi flashing our cash in his kinky boots on the ground in Ukraine – this again refers to the Fifa gnome spouting tosh

    Speaking of miss speaking – a couple more classics from Nellie Pledge: “I can say that without fear of contraception” and “You haven’t had the pleasure of me yet, have you?”

    Our press are gushing over gay icon: Adele’s triumphant return to Vegas. Five star review page 3 (Express); Diva Las Vegas Adele on stage in US (Sunday Mirror); A ‘scared and happy’ Adele battles nerves for first night of her long-awaited residency at Caesars Palace (Observer); Hail Adele, queen of Las Vegas (Telegraph);

    There’s been a sharp decline in record sales across the board, but Adele has managed to circumvent the crisis, astonishingly, two of her albums have sold over 20 million copies (Far Out Magazine) – 20 million copies, and I’d venture very few of them sold to straight men.

    Of course football fans have from seemingly time immemorial required their: Free World Cup wallchart – even in the Observer of all places.

    Jumpers for goalposts, boys… and we can paper on crayon our rainbow armbands to be just like Harry Kane.

    Now it appears rainbow armbands are de rigueur for the football enthusiast: Gareth’s rainbow bust-up… Harry Kane has defied a bid by World Cup chiefs to stop him wearing a rainbow armband. See pages 8 & 9 (Sun)

    This outrage isn’t confined to the tabloids: Outrage at Fifa boss after he slams West and says he feels African, gay and disabled (Sunday Telegraph) – he’s picked up a touch of the Gary Linekers there: Gary Lineker says he has suffered racist abuse during his childhood and football career as a result of his “darkish skin” (Talk TV)

    the bbc have waited twenty-odd years for a new stephen lawrence. Well they have him now, so expect wall-to-wall forever. He was only two but at least they haven’t had to crop the black power salute out of his photograph. I’ve heard nothing about the parents facing charges for child neglect at the very least. It’ll be a nice and long-lasting little earner for them, and maybe even a peerage in a few years. Meanwhile, in any p4ki community with a supply of pretty white girls in any small town….

    ‘Joe Blogs died as he sufferd a heart attack when his football team scored in the last minute of the FA Cup, a drunken fan also died as he fell from a wall and a police officer later died from stress related symptoms after policing the crowds at the match…..football is clearly dangerous….and must be banned.’

    The BBC clearly trying its best to portray what happened on Jan 6 as a riotous and deliberate attempt to ovethrow government rather than the protest that just got out of hand…the only person killed was an unarmed woman shot by a police officer with a known record of using extreme and disproportionate force. One woman died on the day due to a drug overdose, two others had heart attacks and the police officer that died days later also died from heart issues….to try to suggest that this was a murderous riot is, er, somewhat disengenuous…and to say Trump directed and incited the violence is an outright lie.

    Little discussion this morning…..Trump being forced off Twitter was, as their source from Twitter said, due to his incitement to riot and the threat to democracy.

    ‘Twitter source says’…hmmmm….I’d trust every word.

    ‘His account was suspended in 2021 due to the risk of incitement of violence.

    Twitter’s previous management acted just days after Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol in Washington DC on 6 January.

    Hundreds of rioters entered the complex as the US Congress attempted to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election. The ensuing violence led to the deaths of four civilians and a police officer.’

    Climate change policies, handing out billions/trillions to undeserving poor countries whilst our own starve and freeze, betraying Brexit and removing popular PMs……the Blob always wins it seems and you have absolutely no say in it as the government moves to slide us back into the EU by stealth…a soft re-entry that they hope will go pretty much unnoticed or, as it’s so incremental and brought in bit by bit, no-one will care too much at such small ‘benefits’ forced upon us until we’re fully back in and the job is done.

    Don’t expect the BBC ever to raise any questions about any of this….they back it all and cheerlead openly for it.

      pug, to get back into membership of the EU – unless the EU changes the rules which would not surprise me – it will be necessary for the British people to give up £sterling and adopt the Euro. I could see a bit of a fuss coming over that.

      Showing my age – but don’t you think it’s a weird world when BBC news is reporting that a former ( and proper ) US President being ‘allowed back onto twitter ‘ is number 3 in the running order .
      Nice to know my vote counted …..

      And a twisted world when freedom to comment is denied – even if ordinary punters can’t do much about what is happening in the world …

      Speaking of which – isn’t reassuring that the loon so called Tory climate fanatic at the COp crap is upset that there wasn’t the agreement the green fascists wanted …?

      Burn that carbon – make that CO2…

      PPS – how much will Qatar bribe the officials / opposition team to get a ‘win’?

      Oh I dunno…. just out for Sunday errands and R4 giving it the full “each side blames the other BS” on shelling the Zaporizhzhya reactor site.

      -followed by the The Coming Storm with Gabriel Gatehouse (should be shitehouse) – I listened out of curiosity and was rewarded with quite the most mendacious parade of utter BS I’ve sat through in quite a while.

      As somebody who’s followed the trajectory of Hunter’s laptop in more that casual detail (and even downloaded some) – the wilfully skewed and predictably selective tale was a classic of the putrid Democrat shill genre. Orange man bad nothing to see here, believe the FBI, QAnon nutters and the entire DNC / swamp playbook slavishly paraded by an overwrought posturing dimwit.

      They’ve even got a special with the dungfly Louis Theroux later in the week.

    BBC’s World Cup coverage has just started. Opening monologue, Lineker is already in danger of falling off his high horse.
    For people who complain about the technical problems on GB News, the Beeb presenters need some soft furnishings in their little mini studio, the sound is barkingly harsh.

    BTW, if our objections are human rights, women’s rights, LGBT rights, is the “I” word – the root of all these things – ever going to be mentioned?

    The BBC naturally will be celebrating the World Cup and be broadcasting every moment….but they’ll mention the other stuff in between so that’s alright….lol.
