        digg, “They are the epitome of turkeys voting for Christmas….”

        I assume you refer to ‘the firm’ and not ‘the shy couple’. Perhaps those with short memories will not remember who is buried at Frogmore Cottage but my parents certainly held that one in low regard for what she did to this country, at a time when they did not need it and when it did a lot of harm.

        I reckon if ‘push came to shove’ the nation will prize loyalty over publicity seeking but I could be wrong on that. I guess the BBC will be happy to stir the pot for all they are worth. HM might have to assert and exert his authority.

    From Quora:

    “Was the poor lady insulted at Buckingham Palace born as Ngozi Fulani? Or did she change her name?

    She was born Melanie Headey in London: she changed her name for something that sounded African. But at least one Nigerian reader of The Times has pointed out that if she ever goes to Nigeria just about everybody she meets will grill her about “where she comes from”, because Fulani is the name of one Central African tribe many of who, live in Nigeria, and Ngozi is a name from the Igbo language, which is used only by Igbo people. Basically, the two together simply do not make a credible African name.

    And she chose to go to the reception wearing an ostentatiously “African tribal” outfit (I couldn’t say whether it was a real African outfit or just a made-up mishmash like her name), which IMO amounts to an invitation to ask where she was from. ‘National costume’ is an official alternative to the standard dress code at palace functions, but the implicit understanding is that it is only worn by people actually of that nationality. So it would be reasonable for anyone there to assume that she was indeed a national of an African country, and to ask what country she was from.

    All of which makes me suspect that she went to that reception actively hoping somebody would say something she could yell was ‘racist!’ and was successful. The more so as she has tweeted in support of the Duchess of Sussex in the past. I think Lady Hussey was set up.”

      She has a Nigerian name, regardless of where she was born or her citizenship. The same goes for my Bangladeshi Muslim name. We were named this way, because we or our parents wanted that connection to our past heritage. It’s natural for other people to be curious at best and confused at worst, as a consequence of that.

      I’d dare say people would be even more confused today if my parents had not obliged to our ancestral culture and had named me something like John Brown or Robbie McDonald instead.

      Many people, innocently ask where I’m originally from, even though I was born in the UK and speak English without a foreign accent. Why should that be a big thing, and why would that be offensive?

      Some people, especially older people, have difficulty accepting me as a British person, which I am by nationality only, not obviously ethnically. So what?

      Why let other people’s intentional perspectives or innocent mistakes cause people to make such a fuss about essentially nothing?”

        On a more serious note though, I feel that Lady Hussey was completely set up, and the BBC and the press should hang their heads in shame at the way she’s been treated. They really have been duped themselves by a disgraceful sting, but of course, they’ll never apologise when the whole story comes out.

    Simon Heffer in the Daily telegraph STARTS

    As the BBC celebrates its centenary, it might be time to review its contribution to culture: which, currently, is unimpressive. Yet looking back, whether on wireless or television, the Corporation’s record is immense. It broadcast its first classical music concert in its first year, on Radio 3, which remains its cultural epicentre, continuing to champion live performances, new artists and contemporary composers: and so it must. Great documentary series (The Great War, Civilisation, The British Empire, The Ascent of Man) were conspicuous, but now all are in the distressingly distant past. The lone survivor is a veteran of that era, David Attenborough, with his stunning wildlife series. The Corporation has been subject to political forces, some self-inflicted. A determination to dilute anything that might be interpreted as elitism strongly prevails.

    The BBC is nearing a fork in the road, but the direction it takes will not be of its choosing. Only the brave would assert that the Conservative Party, which is highly sceptical about the BBC, will win the next general election, but if it does, the hitherto formal renewal of the Corporation’s charter will be in jeopardy. The entirely unsuitable and unthoughtful Nadine Dorries has, thank God, resigned as culture secretary: but a view remains in the Conservative Party not so much that the BBC is institutionally Leftist (though in large tracts of it, it is) but that it is dumbed down and unworthy of the funds and support given to a state broadcaster.

    However if, as seems likely, we have a Labour government, the BBC can relax. Labour will make a point of preserving it, not least because so many Conservatives dislike it. The long-overdue reassessment of using a household poll tax – the licence fee – to fund the BBC is unlikely to happen either. I hope there is someone sufficiently enlightened in the Labour Party to grasp that the perpetuation of the BBC in its present form is damaging our national culture, and that the determination to make it better should be a matter above politics. Sadly, there is no sign of its reaching that happy state.

    The BBC’s defenders will refer, one supposes, to the immaculate job it did this year in presenting first the Platinum Jubilee, and then the late Queen’s funeral ceremonies: there is no question that the Corporation is still capable of rising to the occasion – even if, for the most solemn events, it has to call the great David Dimbleby out of retirement at the age of almost 84 to do them.

    But there is simply too much trash on the BBC, whether on radio or television. I appreciate that tastes vary, not everyone holds a PhD and some people come to the BBC simply for entertainment; but what is now almost absent from the schedules (except on Radio 3 and, very occasionally, on the sharply deterioriating Radio 4) is anything that Lord Reith might have classed as educational, at whatever level. BBC Four is on the verge of closing down; the great 26-part adaptations (notably The Forsyte Saga and The Pallisers) are but a distant memory. Anything the BBC now does that calls itself “historical” is routinely riddled with laughable inaccuracies.

    There is an unpleasant pressure to conform with the political fashions of the day. Even Radio 3 has been forced in on the act. Its search for black composers to put in its schedules recently led to a Composer of the Week series (typically one of finest things on the BBC) on The Harlem Renaissance. I don’t dispute Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington’s talent, but they are not classical musicians. Non-classical music has plenty of space around the BBC and classical has too little, so it is tiresome to see it eaten up in this way. Also tedious is the way in which the not especially good black composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is feted, as is the even more mediocre Florence Price, who ticks two boxes, being a woman.

    One day, we shall have unquestionably great black classical composers who deserve routinely to elbow Bach out of the schedules. For now, we don’t. Engaging in tokenism is patronising and offensive, and does nothing to advance the cause of true high culture. But such advancement no longer seems to interest the BBC.ENDS

    That when there’s no wind in the UK, Danish windfarms will be sending leccy.
    In reality, it’s a grid to grid connection.
    Sure sometimes there will be wind in Denmark, but at others we could ultimately be getting leccy derived from German coal plants

      I’m not saying that the interconnectors are pointless – but – iirc all the ones being built at the moment are consequences of infrastructure decisions taken in Brussels which were imho driven more by politics than engineering considerations.

      – they might turn out to be useful… then again they might not.

      The Western Link interconnector between Scotland and England was plagued with problems – and if it was working to design specs one might reasonably expect some PR adulation… as it stands the operators are reticent about its operational status – there are four failures acknowledged at Wikipedia – but there were at least 7 to be found via search engines 18 months ago.

      Offshore power cables have become a lawyers (and Soho PR crew) playground with fierce Non Disclosure Agreements pervading the contractual landscape. Hundreds of km of offshore wind farm cables have had to be replaced.

      Richard North’s previous article on ‘increasing diversity’ is also relevant.

      In 1964, before multiculturalism in England had reared its head – despite the BBC’s attempt to inject diversity into our historical timeline that simply didn’t exist – there was a book published under the name of Winston Churchill, entitled “The Island Race”. It is a celebration of his history of the British, white British, whom Churchill quite openly regarded as a race, and a race apart.

      To celebrate our unique distinctiveness as a white race is clearly no longer permitted. It is regarded as the very embodiment of racism. But to celebrate the dilution of our heritage by the onslaught of other races, it seems, is not only encouraged, but almost compulsory.

      If we continue the trajectory identified by the 2021 census, to which figures must be added another million immigrants this year, it will not be long before there is no distinctive island race. And to mourn its passing will be a hate crime.

    The complete and utter clusterf*ck of illegal immigration and monumental Brexit referendum betrayal continues.

    This article is full of the usual excuses, blame and victimhood that the BBC shoehorn into all such articles these days, but this sentence stood out:

    This is what our new ‘immigration minister’ thinks:

    “They could be facing labour exploitation in different industries such as construction or car washes; they could be criminally exploited in drug distribution or in cannabis farms, or they could be sexually exploited.”

    It seems the possibility that they have simply absconded to merge into our society and live by any means – honest or dishonest, – they can, just like they did back home, did not occur to him.

    This is complete and utter madness. And it’s all because of leftists like the BBC who like to feel they are morally superior to everyone else (as long as these people don’t go near where THEY live of course).

    Social media can be quite scary – particularly for those elites who fear another successful Donald Trump-like populist outsider using social media instead of the controlled and curated mainstream to get his message across to the masses.

    It is facsinating to watch from a distance the way our managers (I won’t use the outdated term government in this context) outsource their campaign to nudge, badger and justify those inexerable moves toward doing exactly what it was they intend to do anyway – and the classic move – think of the children: Who needs to ‘step up’ to keep kids safe online? “Whoever those people are, they know who they are, they should just step up and do better,” she told me – the three times married film actress Kate Winslet there promoting her new film to the BBC’s (supposedly non-advertising) Laura K: The drama – I am Ruth – is hard to watch, but hard to look away from. Without giving a terrible spoiler, it does also in the end offer hope.

    With impeccable timing the Telegraph notices far from home: Techno tyrany. How China keeps lockdown protesters in line

    By the way, one googles On Line Saftey Bill news and your top hit is the very same Laura K report as quoted above: Is the Online Saftey Bill enough, ask Laura Kuenssberg? (BBC)

    Online Safety Bill’s ‘spy clause’ will pave way for ‘state-mandated mass surveillance’ of WhatsApp messages (‘i’ news) – yep, that should just about do the job.

    Oddly enough, our media mainstay of leftist opinion don’t seem to see it that way – think of the ladies: Online safety bill will criminalise ‘downblousing’ and ‘deepfake’ porn (Guardian) – Downblousing? There’s your new word of the week. Funnily though, if there’s one traditional rather modest article of female atire rather approved by us chaps that’s sadly edging toward extinction – quicker than English people in England – replaced with anything from items vaguely termed ‘tops’ that may as well be male sports shirts to the American female ‘shirt’ to strange ethnic cosplay concoctions as modelled by race hustler and Royal shindig invitee Ngozi Fulani – who identifies as heaven knows what?

    What next on the list for a special anti-male gaze legal prohibition we wonder, sideglancing? Casual observation? Rearward reconnaissance? Ankle clocking? Perhaps we’ll reach a stage where us chaps of a lower caste by law and custom must lower our eyes whenever a female passes on the street.

    With the papers chockfull of football and debilitating Royal race nonsense, we welcome the return of the intermittant short-lived probably doomed rare feature Maybe It’s Because I’m a Londoner – also known as Last One to Leave Haul Down the Union Jack

    The English are such an endangered species these days that the World Wifelife Fund will soon be onto it. Oh bugger… they’ve only gone and rebranded as: World Wide Fund for Nature

    Anyway, English people are the new pandas. It’s only a matter of time before Rishi Sunak as a diplomatic gesture is gifting a rare breeding pair of English people to foreign states to display in their zoos. I digress.

    Posters have gone up around south London picturing what one takes to be a young black school boy with a few school girls in the background and the slogan “He’s a solid 7”

    Being somewhat out of the loop current youth playground argot-wise Mr AsI wondered at first glance whether this was some general exortation toward improved exam accomplishment – get youreslf up to a Grade 7 to impress the girls? Or perhaps the new transatlantic educationalist jargon for what we used to term the 4th form.

    It began gradually to dawn on Mr AsI then the meaning suddenly struck him – like the big Marlon Brando speech in Apocalypse Now – it hit me in the forehead like a diamond bullet, you might say. He noticed a feminist campaign line along the lines of “Against harrassment of females from men and boys”

    One should have noticed the subtle subliminal nudge of the poster colouration in green and purple – the suffragette campaign colours.

    The meaning of the black school boy being a solid seven is that the girls think (colloquially speaking) he may fancy himself but don’t try it on with us because we think he’s not all that.

    It’s a bit edgy making him a black lad but one supposes south London has nowadays to address its present audience. I’m sure the authors of this campaign would strenuously deny male on female harrasment had anything at all to do with being an ethinc issue in London schools.

    The problem with such campaigning is that the actual offenders perpetrating these bad behavious will remain completely unmoved.

    The real effect will be felt on the innocent. Already insecure adolescent boys will further fear contact with their female peers incase a misplaced awkward action or remark might lead to some accusation of sex crime. Already empowered females with have the extra weapon of an harassment accusation in their armoury. Just think along the lines of the recent super-hyped Royal race row – remember who possesses the super power of accusation, ie who holds the whip hand these days (TM Enoch Powell 1968)

    Let’s further define the meaning of He’s a Solid Seven the moniker with which this camapaign seeks to brand all young males. So undermining their confidence.

    A safe response when your drunk/insecure friend asks you to rate them on a 10 point scale. It’s high enough to protect their ego but low enough they know you’re not just humoring them. (But you are humoring them, they’re a five.) When in doubt, everybody is a solid seven (Urban Dictionary)

    The Solid Seven meme is a popular meme on 4chan’s sports image board.. It is used mainly as a saying in response to an unattractive female’s picture being posted on the board. The term comes from the well-known “scale from 1 to 10” used to measure female attractiveness. Although a 7/10 is generally a “good”… (Know Your Meme.com) – Clearly the internet savvy youth will know a solid seven is used ironically to indictate a minger. Boys – you’re all mingers.

    A last word on the whole Ngozy Punani farce (she of the leopard skin dress, dreadlocks and tiara in the Palace).

    The BBC gave the non-story lavish airtime and front page prominence on its website, and at least two fawning interviews.

    The whole coverage was entirely uncritical and only gave one side of the story.

    Elsewhere, real journalists did a bit of background research and discovered some unsavoury facts about Saint Punani: that she felt malice towards the royals, that she sided with Meghan (whom she described as “a survivor of domestic abuse” at the hands of her in-laws), that she had connections with BLM – the terrorist organisation that torched the US for months while the BBC looked the other way. In the words of Farage, “My view is that Fulani planned this right from the very start. She’s an anti-Royal, anti-British Marxist”.

    All of which gives sheds a very different light on the story, and none of which the BBC thought worth mentioning.

    Spot the difference….the Public’s view of the African Queen and then the media’s, politicians’ and various commentators’. The Public can spot a wrong ‘un from a mile off whereas the Great and the Good can spot an opportunity to either trash the Royals, to virtue signal or to demonstrate their utter cowardice in the face of the race warriors’ scorn and ‘shaming’.

    Even other black people know Marlene is dodgy and put up videos and comments calling her out.

    Fulani is blatantly a fraud, a liar and a racist….and yet the BBC has totally backed her version and essentially lynched Lady Hussey and slandered her across the world as a racist. There’s been no inquiry, no investigation, no trial…just the media et al taking the word and prejudiced judgement of a highly political race baiter who hates the Royals and using it for their own ends….in the BBC’s case a deliberate and blatant attempt to undermine the Royal family and to label, and libel, them as Racists.

    The BBC lost no time in declaring that this ‘racism’ proved that everything Meghan Markel had claimed was true…never mind there was no ‘racism’ by Hussey and even if there had been how is that linked to any of the Royal family personally?

    The BBC, having passed judgement on Hussey, then went on to declare the Royal Family were the problem…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63808613

    ‘ What makes it so toxic is that it once again raises difficult questions about the Royal Family and their ability to reflect a diverse modern Britain.

    It touches raw nerves about a sense of belonging and identity. It suggests Buckingham Palace as a starchy and unwelcoming place.’

    This is purely a prejudiced BBC interpetation and invention of what the Royals are and how they are perceived by others….it is a judgement as subjective, biased and arrogant as the Maitlis attack on the government.

    This is the BBC taking a lie, turning it into ‘fact’ and using it not only to smear a completely innocent 83 year old woman around the world but to attack and trash one of the great institutions in Britain that is still held in high esteem around the world…but the BBC is working on that!

    This is a BBC, once a great British institution itself, that is so toxic, so racist, so anti-British, so anti-White, so Marxist, so pro-terrorist, so pro-anything that will trash Britain, its history and its very People, a BBC that is an extremist, and very dangerous media organistion that spreads lies and disinformation on an industrial scale whilst posing as the gold standard that almost alone can be trusted.

    The BBC….the most poisonous, the most toxic, the most dangerous organisation in Britain today.

        The collapse of Kids Company continues to prompt many questions about the children’s charity’s management and finance. But what was behind its fall?

        In February 1997, the Independent reported on a small charity in south London that was opening a new, permanent centre.

        In what became a familiar fundraising refrain over the next 18 years, its charismatic leader said they believed they could spend “£500 a year to help a child, as opposed to the £2,500 that it costs clinics and agencies. To keep a young offender in an institution costs around £30,000 a year.”

    One might suspect the BBC has many reasons for trashing Lady Hussey…one maybe that she was married to Marmaduke Hussey, once Chairman of the BBC…who raised his voice against the Bashir interview…..once he found out about it as it seems the BBC wasn’t keen for their Chairman to know about the dodgy interview…..

    ‘The latest series of the Netflix drama The Crown dramatises Lady Hussey’s role in the row over Panorama’s 1995 interview with Diana, Princess of Wales: John Birt, the BBC director general, kept the interview secret from Marmaduke Hussey to ensure that Lady Hussey (played by Haydn Gwynne) could not leak details of it to Queen Elizabeth.’

    ‘The 83-year-old is the widow of Marmaduke Hussey, former chairman of the BBC who passed away in 2006.

    During the 10 years he chaired the board of governors, he was embroiled in controversy when in 1995, Panorama aired Martin Bashir’s explosive interview with Princess Diana.

    He famously fell out with BBC director-general John Birt over the tell-all, which was kept a secret from Lord Hussey, who later asked BBC governors to condemn the interview and the conduct of Birt and attempted to force his resignation.

    His disgust for the production with the then Princess of Wales was recently portrayed in The Crown, which featured both Lord Hussey and his wife Lady Susan, played by Richard Cordery and Haydn Gwynne, respectively. ‘

    I looked at the beeboid’s grubby little website, and tried in vain to find anything about the stitch-up of Lady Hussey!

    Senora O’Blene (not her real nationality I might add), has a proper Italian Christian name – we’ve been chums since 1966, and married for over fifty years, and she still suffers from people asking her about her name, why she has it, how does she spell it , and all this is usually from the more gormless/stupid/idiot end of society too – it’s been the bane of her life forever!

    So all these made-up names given to kids these days are doing nothing for how they’ll get on in life! The silly bitch who set up Lady Hussey once had a normal British name, but chose to try and fake some tribal connection which most normal British citizens associate with foreigners. Usually, by seeing the names of the stabbed and the stabbers with monotonous regularity, it becomes a second nature to assume they’re never going to assume British values in their lifetime!

    This bloody diversity cult is beginning to make normal British citizens fling their arms up in the air and escape from general news, adverts, mailshots, programmes, and many other issues associated with the watering down of British culture, and as one good poster here mentioned a short while back, we’re certainly wanting to distance ourselves from these new invaders, where before we couldn’t care a monkey’s!

    Sadly, the next Labour government will enjoy all the crap associated with the acquired measures of the wretched diversity, and LGBVTERTYYUIOOP rubbish, so we might just as well chuck every listening and watching device in the bin.

    Listening to Wake up to Money the other day and we had an interesting little history lesson about Truss, the mini-budget and dollar parity.

    The expert told us quite clearly that it was the strength of the dollar that saw the pound ‘fall’….and the proof is that the Euro also ‘fell’…the budget had minimal effect and it was really just coincidence…bad timing for Truss…and of course a massive campaign by the BBC to mis-represent the facts…the BBC reporting that the budget had caused the fall in the pound….they didn’t mention the Euro also fell, nor that it was US Fed interest rate rises that were driving this as that would undermine their lies.

    Tellingly the BBC presenter agreed with him.

    Essentially we had another BBC engineered coup that led to the fall of another PM and we are where we are now…instead of us having the highest growth in the G7 next year, as predicted by the IMF after the budget, we have one of the longest recessions in our history looming….oh…and note…the BBC didn’t report the IMF’s words on GDP, they headlined instead with a negative from the same IMF report…that interest rates would rise.

    The BBC incited the feeding frenzy around Truss and took her out….and now we’re back to austerity and cuts and strikes and endless torrent of BBC angst abot it all…a situation that the BBC itself made possible…this mess is of the BBC’s making.

    Stick to reporting and don’t interfere in politics and economics about which you seem totally ignorant or blinded by your own ideologies and bigotry.

    Even the , right-leaning, new BBC Chairman recognises the BBC fails at the money stuff….

    ‘Mr Sharp said: “I’ve got Bloomberg TV on in here for a reason. It’s excellent. We have to raise our game.”

    He added: “The BBC’s correspondents and editors are “first rate”, but across the institution business and finance “are not as well understood as they should be. We need to do a better job of explaining them, especially when inflation is forcing the government and the opposition to make very difficult choices.” ‘

        The City may or may not listen to the BBC but the BBC gave them cover and ‘justification’ to do what they did by creating the perception that the budget was a disaster…never mind Starmer had nearly the same tax policies….and that the alternative to borrowing was what? Austerity and cuts and/or tax rises as we have now or nothing? What we have now, large tax rises in the middle of a ‘cost of living crisis’…good idea or what?

        ‘The prominent hedge fund manager Crispin Odey has defended his bets against the pound, arguing that the historic rout in the wake of Kwasi Kwarteng’s tax cuts was triggered by Remainers in the City who “hate” the Government.

        Mr Odey, arguably Britain’s best known hedge fund chief, told The Telegraph: “I never felt the kind of hate that Friday stirred up for a long time.

        “Amongst lots of friends of mine who are Remainers, they just decided that they hate this Government. Obviously Kwasi they hate now as well, and they think Liz Truss is useless. They can’t stand poor Jacob Rees-Mogg.”’

    SO WHEN THESE COUNTRIES HAD INDEPENDENCE THEY COULD DO WHAT THEY WANT? WHAT IS THEIR EXCUSE NOW? BREXIT?

    For much of the past two centuries, it was illegal to be gay in a vast swathe of the world – thanks to colonial Britain.

    Till today, colonial-era laws that ban homosexuality continue to exist in former British territories including parts of Africa and Oceania.

    But it is in Asia where they have had a significantly widespread impact. This is the region where, before India legalised homosexual sex in 2018, at least one billion people lived with anti-LGBTQ legislation.

    It can be traced back to one particular law first conceptualised in India, and one man’s mission to “modernise” the colony.
