    What will we get from the BBC this weekend? Mixed in with the football from near the earQatar (it was hot for Wales, I thought FIFA had arranged for matches to be played only in the evenings?) there will be subtle and not so subtle hints that we should rejoin the EU. I note Lord Frost has noticed this trend of mentioning lots of things to do with the EU and our economy.

    It seems a long time since 29th May this year when Jonny ‘Disjointed’ Dymond fired the starting gun on TWoTWeeee for the BBC campaign to get us back in. I understand that Arlene Foster has been enobled and has started to pushback against the fragmentation of the UK, which is a policy of the EU. Good for her. Read all about it here: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/arlene-fosters-inspirational-move-to-keep-the-kingdom-united/

    Oh, three in a row, at last. Maybe I can retire now? Maybe I can retire now and go to bed for a kip. As the near endless Awards Season is about to be inflicted on us with the BBC joining in, I’d like to thank everyone here, and Mum, Dad, the cat, the budgie and Fed for my success. 🙂

    IT IS…
    Time to stop the boats.
    Time to scrap the BBC.
    Time to scrap Tory Party.
    Time to get rid of Lab/Libs too.
    Time to scrap the House of Lords
    Time for Proportional Representation.

      Yasser, disagree on that last one because you have to have political parties for PR because the vote goes to the Party rather than the candidate. But I gave you an ‘uptick’ anyway for just the first two items on your list. 🙂

        Up2 snuff. Congratulations on retaining your Number one position. You foiled my dastardly attempt to prevent your hat-trick.
        Thanks for the uptick too.

        Your objection to proportional representation that the vote goes to the party instead of the person is an oft repeated one. It is, none-the-less, an obsolete one. In the Western world people vote for parties and in very few constituencies is it factor. The world has moved on, even in the United Kingdom where people began party identifying around 1906 but, ,alas, the system has refused to recognise the reality for over a hundred years
        Surely with Britain rapidly going downhill it is obvious that the system must switch or the country will die.
        TINA as Mrs T would say.

        TR you are one of the people on this site who I consistently agree with and never skip your comments. On this topic I am sorry to disagree
        The rise of the SNP is due to other reasons than PR. It was a movement that was never taken seriously by Westminster. “Flower People” said Ted Heath. I remember it. Orwell warned against it back in the 1940’s. He could see the dangerous possibilities back then. I would suggest that the uninspiring two party system started to crack in the mid 1960’s and significant sections of the population were looking for credible alternatives.
        To me it seems that ithas been the combination of a lack of foresight by a arrogant Tory Party combined with the stifling oppression of the first past the post voting system that has created a demand for some credible alternative and unfortunately the SNP and PC took advantage of it.
        Thank goodness we have a good PR system here. Jacinda will be gone this time next year. Here the whole population votes to decide. In Britain it’s up to relatively few people in a small number of marginal seats to decide.
        The clock is ticking, nearing high noon. The Tory party has had a Remainer coup and is a disintegrating mess. The Marxist Labour Party can hardly wait to destroy what’s left of the country. Something has to happen!

    Well the Stupid Party certainly want to live up to that name .
    Or perhaps the Suicidal Party would be just as appropriate.

    First they have never taken on the BBC in a meaningful sense .
    An organisation that has done more to damage them than Labour , the LibDims or the Greens , and they keep it going . Even allow it to expand ! Why not hold a raffle for it?

    Then get people when they are at their most impressionable- adolescence- to go to Gramscian filled universities and have globalist plus Marxist brainwashing pumped into their heads .

    Then import anyone into the country. And bleat about getting them here by circuitous routes pretend to the the do Gooders you want them here ( no votes gained from them ) but pretend they’re wanting to stop the invasion to the general public ( who won’t vote for them on their weak action on this problem) .
    Double talk . As usual from the high ranking Tories .

    Taffman , what’s the answer ?

      Nibor,

      As I’ve said before, Messrs. Hunt and Sunak are in position only to front the WEF’s Communist aspirations. Doubtless they recognise that the Conservatives are doomed come next election. They don’t care. We will now see the pair accelerate the WEF programme with gay abandon (can I say that?). In that regard, it will be a sure interesting two years in watching how the rest, when they all wake up to the independent danger of the two and react.

        Nibor, maybe the Con-servative Party will get nagged by the BBC to fund our woeful NHS even more and the BBC will push it too far and the Government response is “Well, we are broke as a nation, there’s no money left but we could sell off some assets. We will privatise the BBC and Channel4.”

        Trouble is, the Labour Party and all the other political Parties would swing in against that move and make it an electoral issue. I can see the Royal Mail privatisation coming unstuck this winter.

    A country has the right to decide who enters it , for how long , and what their behaviour should be .

    Britain does not have an Interior Ministry or a Department Of Internal Affairs or Bureau of State Security

    It has the Home Office .
    A nice , comfy unthreatening part of the government because that’s what it was . An elected person overseeing public servants doing what was right for the people of the country.
    Home Office because most people thought that the rest of the country was an outside extension of their homes and the inhabitants of the country were kith and kin .
    And those people weren’t insular . They knew about the rest of the world. By gad [ old term] they had run a quarter of it as the world’s biggest empire and fought wars to stop evil taking the world over .
    But they were happiest within their own skin . No I don’t mean they were racist , BBC , they were ordinary. Ordinary and good unless the BBC and it’s ilk think ordinary people are bad . In which case they should stop broadcasting to ordinary folk and stop taking money from ordinary folk .

    London Fire Brigade institutionally misogynist and racist – report
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-63749444

    No surprise whatsoever there then. First the Met and now they’ve moved on.

    I’ve been involved with some firemen with my work in the past and I can say that they were all excellent people : a stark contrast to police who tend to be arrogant and aloof.

    So when I watch that disgusting video the BBC have put up as the headline, I ask myself what else is there to that story I’m not being told. What has that woman who claims she is so ‘hated’ done to make everyone dislike her so much ?.

    I did a search for ‘misandry BBC’ and to my complete surprise (not), not a single BBC article came up. But this very pertinent, common-sense article from The Spectator did:

    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-it-any-wonder-that-men-are-put-off-the-bbc/

    But to my complete amazement, the BBC now have a dedicated sub-category for Mysogyny !!!.

    Take a look at all the articles. You won’t believe it. Chock full of misandry.

    BBC with another mind-numbingly predictable sociology lecture: “Does kindness get in the way of success?”

    The main image is of a hijabbed Jacinda Ardern hugging another hijabbed woman. I did chuckle at the suggestion that “even in politics there’s evidence that a gentler or kinder style can still get you to the top, as Jacinda Ardern has shown in New Zealand…”

    Ardern, who crushed the livelihood and spirit of countless New Zealanders for more than two years and admits creating a two-tier society, based on personal medical choices. (Medical fascism being no barrier to the BBC model of kindness.) Of course Trump gets a mention, on account of his nasty tweets.

    About the author: “Claudia Hammond is the author of The Keys to Kindness: How to be kinder to yourself, others and the world.”

      ‘Claudia Hammond is the author of The Keys to Kindness: How to be kinder to yourself, others and the world.’

      I find these statements by the Lefties to be endlessly amusing because life has taught me that these people are always weak, shallow characters hiding behind a mask and turn into the most nasty, spiteful people you will ever find when the mask slips.

      We’ve seen it from maxi from time to time. Nasty piece of work – but then I suppose you have to be if you are to be a troll.

      I’m sure there a few genuine exceptions, but not enough to disprove the rule for me.

      …………..

      In 2003 China received US$1.3 billion in aid, or about US$1 per capita. Like other countries in recent years, the United States has rapidly reduced its aid to China, reaching about $12 million from USAID for 2011. The aid goes to Tibetan communities, rule of law initiatives, and climate change policy.

    Today
    The woke mum of a kid with Cerebral palsy set up some online charity for something or other . The kid uses the internet – social media . Trolls sent messages to the kid with ‘strobe effect’ attachments which can set off epilepsy .

    So we have another ‘reason ‘ to censor the internet . On rolls baroness Kidron ? An unelected mouth firing off on controlling the internet .

    You can always tell when the BBC approves of someone. There was no challenge by our Justin – no contrary view. No suggestion such as kids with epilepsy not use the internet in a hazardous way.
    I was thinking of a parallel . Do you ban cars because they could run kids over if the kid walks in the road ?

      No loner about saving lives….

      This research explores the degree to which gender affects safety behaviors and outcomes in the fire service. Semistructured focus groups and interviews were conducted based on findings from the literature on women and gender in the fire service. Four focus groups (N = 22) and eight interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using NVivo 10 software. This methodology explored if female gender improves safety behaviors through (1) weighing the risks and benefits of dangerous situations, (2) focusing on biomechanics and technique, (3) asking for help, (4) being motivated to report injuries, (5) being heard by colleagues, and (6) illuminating a hostile work environment’s contribution to safety. Participants report that women have less of a “tough guy” attitude than their male colleagues and felt that deviating from the modernist American hyper-masculine norm may have a positive impact on their work practices and injury outcomes. If women in the fire service perceive risk differently than their male colleagues, perhaps strengthening efforts to recruit women and creating a culture that values their perspective will improve the occupation’s overall safety outcomes.

    Compulsory attendance edition

    Gotcha! It’s Paddy Pantsdown; Last One To Leave Turn Out The Lights; Headless Body In Topless Bar; Don’t Cry For Me Argie Cleaner; Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster… tabloid headlines, eh?

    Luv ’em, hate ’em, sometimes you just can’t ignore ’em.

    This morning the boys and the girls at the BBC online press review line up are loving those red tops. Mirror, Sun and Star are promoted top three titles in a BBC hot flush of frontpages focusing on the POV of the ladies – unusually for once these days not referencing their menopauses.

    Yawn in the USA WAGs fight to stay awake as England are held to a draw – nags the Daily Star

    Seems that just as wives and girlfriends are often wont to complain of their chaps – England peaked too early at this World Cup – Mr AsI likewise fell victim to an early climax – noticing Southgate’s prediliction for rather fabian tactics Mr AsI predicted the initial Iran match would be the low score bore draw.

    The shrewish Daily Mirror further references, via punning on that classic Bruce Springsteen track: Yawn in the USA WAGs verdict as England draw sets up do-or-die clash with Wales

    And the BBC’s big interest in these repetitive tabloid frontpages here? Surely not that classic Andy Murray slip – ‘anyone but England’

    The Sun completes the troika of popular press titles expressing significant other disappointment at the flop that was our England Friday night performance – once more borrowing from The Boss (Has Bruce rebranded himself CEO yet? This lot played more like the Swindon regional undermanager): Yawn in the USA… WAG Georgina Irwin – reserve goalie Aaron Ramsdale’s fiancĂŠe – yawned as she watch the lacklustre display in Qatar (Sun)

    World Cup weary… Lover’s sleep Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha… Bore draw Kyle Walker’s wife Annie (Mirror)

    In polite and appreciative reference to the late lamented comic TV character Mrs Merton – I’m not so sure it was some deep appreciation of Gareth Southgate’s three centre-backs in a 3-5-2 formation that first attracted these WAGs to their millionaire boyfriends.

    Anyway, wives and fiancĂŠes aside, how about those members of the squad who are in the uncertain positional zone of boy and girlfriend think seriously about making honest women of their respective WAGs and jolly well take-the-knee (in a real honest commitment for once) and propose marriage?

    Care charities ‘forced to evict disabled residents’ – complains the Guardian.

    Well, they may be making them homeless – but at least they’re not aborting the disabled: Woman with Down’s syndrome loses abortion law appeal… lost her appeal over a law that allows abortion up until birth for a foetus with the condition… She said the legislation “doesn’t respect my life” (BBC) – it’s hard to argue against that observation.

    Apparently it’s yet another one of those ladies’ days in the media today: London Fire Brigade institutionally misogynist and racist – report (BBC) – this never used to happen before we had female firefighters.

    ‘I’d love to play a female Bond’ Catherine Zeta-Jones on packing a punch (Telegraph)

    How Twitter changed three women’s lives for the better… Romance, business and campaigns born on the platform (BBC)

    I hear new owner Elon Musk threatened Twitter employees with compulsory attendance at the office and an 80-hour working week – Twitter sued by former staff as Elon Musk begins mass sackings (Guardian) – suddenly all the women have departed and he’s left with no HR department and just a handful of male techy autists voluntarily chained to their computers morning noon and night.

    Midlife lust My adventures on the really wild dating app… Midlife lust guide: how to have great sex at any age… Sex can be better than ever after 50, says renowned sex therapist (Times) – these media women, they’ve got one track minds.

    Emma Corrin in the Telegraph tells us: ‘I’ve been on a journey of sexuality’ – good for you, luv. I’d just like to catch a train that isn’t cancelled due to strike action so I can visit the rellies this Christmas.

    It may be a media matriachy – but I suppose you gotta love ’em. There’s no real alternative. Especially out there in Qatar.

      AISI, I see the BBC are back to their bad old ways of not getting some front page pictures in focus. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-63764242 It is strange that the Guardian is always sharp and in focus although they managed to miss the Guardian off the Blog on day this week. Bit strange when you consider how many copies are delivered to the BBC every day.

        re you commenting on the way the screenshot of the Guardian page is a bit blurred so you can’t read the story ?
        If it was done everyday that would indicate a copyright agreement to not give away too much for free.

        The Guardian reports that severely disabled care home residents are being evicted due to disputes between local councils and UK care charity Leonard Cheshire. According to the paper, the charity has said that it has spent millions of pounds in recent years subsidising care services poorly funded by local councils, but it can no longer afford to do so. “Social care desperately needs long-term investment and we cannot continue like this,” commented learning disability charity Mencap.

      “The crisis in the Ukraine is not a regional one. It is the US, clashing with the rest of the world, and that starts with a direct onslaught on Russia. The US knew the Ukraine was a bomb waiting to go off… and intends to expel Russia from world financial markets, a radical shift which will alter the face of power worldwide… some pretext will be seized upon to freeze Russia out of the Swift system, and thus forestall all her financial transactions… I may be rowing against the tide, but it’s to save our skins. Were WW III to erupt, you and I along with all those who deride me as a conspiracy theorist will go up in smoke. I’m very concerned, because we are teetering on the edge of war, a great war. Before our eyes, lies the premise for WW III. Before ever the Ukraine enters NATO, something terrible will happen. On the borders between the Baltic States and Russia, preparations for war are underway… The crisis in the Ukraine is the opening shot in an onslaught by the USA and Europe against Russia, for which the sanctions are an indicator. The Ukraine is the stick with which to beat Russia… (Italy) will only recover her sovereignty if she withdraw from NATO and become, once again, a free, neutral and sovereign state. All the more so, that what NATO, what this sort of defence represents, will be utterly useless in the event of war.

      Trudeau told the drag queens it had been “an incredible pleasure to be part of fighting the good fight on the right side” after the show’s host congratulated him for becoming the first Canadian leader to participate in a Pride parade and being “such an ally” in a clip of his appearance shared on social media.

      I wonder if Trudeau’s crew have a Canadian equivalent of Eddie Izzard?

      Though Aitkenhead notes that RuPaul picked his next words “carefully,” his answer wound its way to saying that he “probably” wouldn’t have admitted a transgender woman like Peppermint — an iconic New York City performer who made the finals in season nine after coming out as trans on the show — if she had already started gender-affirming surgery.

      “You can identify as a woman and say you’re transitioning, but it changes once you start changing your body,” he said. “It takes on a different thing; it changes the whole concept of what we’re doing.”

      This response immediately sparked a wave of disappointed anger within several overlapping communities: Drag Race fans, the show’s former contestants (trans and otherwise), and trans performers.

    Nottingham fire death family were planning new life in USA
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-63766967

    Nothing to do with the deaths : it’s absolutely tragic for people to die like this whatever colour or creed they are.

    But just look at the write-up by the BBC. Absolutely chock full of empathy. None of it is relevant to the actual ‘news’ at all : it’s all designed to make sure you have strong feelings of sympathy for the victims.

    Yet there is very definitely a lot more to this odd story than we are being told. When the BBC don’t go anywhere near that, you can be sure they know something they don’t want us to know. They are the worst kind of liars by omission.

    And in a very unusual event, they have put up the picture of the suspected killer. Shock and horror : he’s white.

    Would the BBC have done a story like this if the victims were not Muslim and the killer was not white ?.

    Of course they wouldn’t. They never have. They are extreme racist hypocrites.

    When I read stories like this, I can’t help thinking about that poor Muslim woman who was murdered by being burned alive on the street in Manchester by men in her family and it only made a short, bare-facts only article on the BBC.

    And right next to that article we have:
    Family claim Rotherham Hospital delays led to death of boy
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-63767570

    Another empathy loaded piece based purely on what his family claim,

    ‘Yusuf Mahmud Nazir’s uncle said he had “begged” staff at Rotherham Hospital to treat his nephew’s severe throat infection with intravenous antibiotics.’

    “If he had got IV antibiotics, he would have been here. He would have be playing with us now, if he got that when I begged them.”

    What on Earth are the BBC doing making such assertive claims by an Uncle ?.

    And then just below:
    Jesse Nwokejiobi: Father pays tribute to teenager stabbed in Cambridge
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-63767431

    Jesse Nwokejiobi died of a single stab wound to the chest in a “targeted attack”

    His father, Henry Nwokejiobi, said Jesse was “a good son” and had ambitions to become a doctor.
    Of course he did BBC.

    Sounds a lot more like a gang-member to me. And they don’t go near who might have done it for this one of course.

    What are the odds that the only worthwhile stories about unust deaths in the whole of the UK – which is 90% white – are all BAME ?.

    The racism at the BBC is now beyond ridiculous. As I keep saying, these scumbags don’t care one little bit about who dies. They only care about using their deaths for their agenda.

    Noora and Adhila: Kerala lesbian ‘brides’ in ‘wedding’ photoshoot
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-63725898

    “We just tried the photoshoot because we thought the idea was interesting,” Ms Nasarin told the BBC over the phone.

    “We’re not married yet,” Ms Nasarin says. “But at some point, we’d like to be.”

    Can ANYBODY justify to me why this utter non-story from India is BBC front-page news in the UK ?.

    ‘World Cup 2022: Gareth Southgate reflects on England’s solid point against USA’

    The BBC headline for their woke heroes (who looked like complete chumps when ‘taking the knee’ IMHO).

    The rest of the world:
    Gareth Southgate calls for calm after England are BOOED off the pitch following drab USA draw.

    The BBC being as honest as ever.

    Hmmmm….BBC radio spent the day telling us how racist, sexist and bullying the London fire brigade, and other brigades, are….but somehow forgot to mention that the BBC was also called out for the same in the same report….they mention it in their web report…but of course way down buried near the bottom of it….if you didn’t get to the bottom of this report and ony relied on the radio you’d never know….

    ”Widespread’

    Mr Afzal said the racism, misogyny and bullying identified within the LFB was far more widespread and that it affected other public bodies including the BBC and NHS.

    “There are members of five different police forces who have approached me and said similar concerns about their own forces, I won’t name them,” he told reporters at a briefing at LFB’s headquarters.

    He said the police forces, the BBC and NHS were “pivotal to the British society… and yet there are people within them that are seriously concerned about the way they’re being treated”.’

    Labour’s 1983 election manifesto……get us out of the EU…..

    ‘Britain and the Common Market

    Geography and history determine that Britain is part of Europe, and Labour wants to see Europe safe and prosperous. But the European Economic Community, which does not even include the whole of Western Europe, was never devised to suit us, and our experience as a member of it has made it more difficult for us to deal with our economic and industrial problems. It has sometimes weakened our ability to achieve the objectives of Labour’s international policy.

    The next Labour government, committed to radical, socialist policies for reviving the British economy, is bound to find continued membership a most serious obstacle to the fulfilment of those policies. In particular the rules of the Treaty of Rome are bound to conflict with our strategy for economic growth and full employment, our proposals on industrial policy and for increasing trade, and our need to restore exchange controls and to regulate direct overseas investment. Moreover, by preventing us from buying food from the best sources of world supply, they would run counter to our plans to control prices and inflation.

    For all these reasons, British withdrawal from the Community is the right policy for Britain – to be completed well within the lifetime of the parliament. That is our commitment. But we are also committed to bring about withdrawal in an amicable and orderly way, so that we do not prejudice employment or the prospect of increased political and economic co-operation with the whole of Europe.

    We emphasise that our decision to bring about withdrawal in no sense represents any weakening of our commitment to internationalism and international co operation. We are not ‘withdrawing from Europe’. We are seeking to extricate ourselves from the Treaty of Rome and other Community treaties which place political burdens on Britain. Indeed, we believe our withdrawal will allow us to pursue a more dynamic and positive international policy – one which recognises the true political and geographical spread of international problems and interests. We will also seek agreement with other European governments – both in the EEC and outside – on a common strategy for economic expansion.
    The process of withdrawal

    On taking office we will open preliminary negotiations with the other EEC member states to establish a timetable for withdrawal; and we will publish the results of these negotiations in a White Paper. In addition, as soon as possible after the House assembles, we will introduce a Repeal Bill: first, in order to amend the 1972 European Communities Act, ending the powers of the Community in the UK; and second, to provide the necessary powers to repeal the 1972 Act, when the negotiations on withdrawal are completed.

    Following the publication of the White Paper, we will begin the main negotiations on withdrawal. Later, when appropriate and in the same parliament, we will use our powers to repeal the 1972 Act and abrogate the Treaty of Accession – thus breaking all of our formal links with the Community. Britain will at this point withdraw from the Council of Ministers and from the European Parliament.

    There will need to be a period of transition, to ensure a minimum of disruption – and to phase in any new agreements we might make with the Community. This will enable us to make all the necessary changes in our domestic legislation. Until these changes in UK law have taken place, the status quo as regards particular items of EEC legislation will remain. And this period will, of course, extend beyond the date when we cease, formally, to be members. ‘

    Daughter barred from watching fathers execution
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63770438

    She wasn’t specifically ‘barred’ BBC, she is not allowed to by law.

    They have used this word to make it sound aggressive persecution when in fact it is established law.

    And the cold-blooded cop-murderer father is black so they also tell us the conviction was racist.

    The BBC and the Left have no shame whatsoever when to comes to the agenda.

        The BBC don’t care one bit about that : they just want to infer she’s not allowed to because she’s a poor ‘victim’ of evil, racist white people.

          Care ? The BBC as usual is just cut and pasting from an activist group as usual.

          BTW they used a similar headline before
          implying a woman was forced to watch the execution of her mother.
          It turned out the mother was a baddie who had murdered the father ..and the daughter as victim got to choose the punishment and to watch it. probably coerced by her father’s family.
