    Doctors – it seems – are now ‘invited’ onto wards if a patient needs something called ‘treatment ‘….

        YOUR COMPLAINT:

        President Trump’s 100 Days President Biden’s 0 Day 

        Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,

        You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.

        Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

        ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

          Z, Meghan is an actress; lying goes with the job. Each part you get, you lie to the Producer/Director that you can do it, of course you can do it, you are the most suitable person for the part. Then you lie again to the audience by being someone you are not, by adopting a character from a script, creating mannerisms for them, creating a personality for them, a walk for them, how they hold their body, how they talk. It is all a lie.

          I’ve done the workshop.

    “A millionaire was granted an historic divorce because his wife banned saucy sex acts, it was revealed yesterday. Tycoon John Allan, 49, said Polish-born Ewa stopped performing oral sex. He said their sex life had deteriorated after she became deeply religious .[..] The businessman, who has just pocketed £1.5million profit from selling shares, was granted a divorce in the High Court on the grounds of his wife’s unreasonable behaviour […]

    A top legal expert said: “It is the first time I’ve heard of a case of whether a wife performs certain sexual favours coming into it. It seems the court is saying that a wife is obliged to provide extra services in the bedroom.” The judge, assistant recorder Alison Hall QC, said the couple’s sex life began to decline from mid-1994 “because of the wife’s disinclination to perform certain sexual acts, previously enjoyed, on principle.”

    The weather forecast for the UK today… all parts of the economy will feel the effects of a front of cold warriors coming in from abroad: Nato downbeat on talks. Chief Jens Stoltenberg has said conditions for a settlement to the Ukraine war are “not there now” as he urged members to keep up the weapons supply (FT)

    Meanwhile, as pictured, at the front (cover) of the Telegraph our kharki-clad lady soldier has found her vocation: Private Clara Lonegan of the 3rd Battalion Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment helps out at a homeless centre in Canterbury Kent – fear not, she’s not manning a sandbagged machine gun nest in the day room, ready to oppose landings by Putin’s Wagner Group – our crack British brigade of light foot lawyers has them bang to rights, ready to spike their guns: Ukraine to hand over evidence of Wagner Group crimes to UK lawyers bringing terror charges (‘i’) – nope, our girl soldier, our GI Jane, isn’t dug in down there ready to repel those thousands of miltary age Albanian invaders hitting the beaches of the Kent coast either. Presumably her rifle has been sent to Ukraine? Now she’s busy serving plates of hot meals – you know, the sort of care jobs those Albanian chaps are supposedly comming here to do. But I digress – and fall out of line without permission.

    Our grizzled NCO drill masters will have digested the latest form of non-gender biased orders to be barked at recruits. No more “Is you all poofs, luvverly boys…” à la Windsor Davies. Not even a polite “Would you mind, awfully” à la John Le Mesurier. Now, apparently, it’s all “At the double, make me a sandwich, luv, two, three, four!”

    Of course some old army traditions will persist from time immemorial – like the idea that squadies should never volunteer for anything: Army fury as soldiers ordered to give up Christmas over strikes (Telegraph)

    Some of our broadsheets are super excited over some State-sponsored media Theatre Hall Putsch: Germany ‘foils plot to overthrow state’ Prince Heinrich XIII is led away in handcuffs in Frankfurt yesterday after police raids against an alleged far-right plot to overthrow the German state inspired by the US Capitol attacks – the Guardian there, ever the guardian of due process, having the good grace to scare quote the notion of the ‘plot to overthrow the state’ and remembering the qualifying key word ‘alleged’

    I’m not sure the optics of burly stormtrooper masked black-clad paramiltary police (no place for a girlie there, apparently) manhandling an aged old aristocrat, dressed more for a weekend in the country than a Nuremberg Rally or indeed the storming of the Reichstag, quite does the job intended. What’s the betting we next hear this so-called far-right plot was cooked up not in the gothic halls of some Bavarian mountain castle retreat – but on the internet – Online Safty Bill UK & EU anyone?

    Putsch foiled. Plotters held in Germany – insists the FT without the benefit of a fair trial.

    The corporate giveaway freesheet the Metro – your supermarket, mobile phone, and bank loan adverts all served as ever with the editorial voice of lefty globalism shrieks: German coup is foiled. Bang to Reichs. 35 arrested over armed far-right terror plot to oust government

    One suspects it’s all smoke and mirrors regime conjured guff – afterall even Derren Brown stage and TV mentalist and illusionist today in the ‘i’ newspaper admits to: My childish, dishonest craft

    But, as something of an aficionado of the headline craft, one has to give due props to the Metro for their line: Where regals dare: Handcuffed Prince Heinrich XIII is led away after arrest – 13th… unlucky for some. And just so we know the photo credit goes to AP – because of course on their way to apprehend a dangerous far-right coup leader threatening the very existence of the Bundesrepublik, the cops naturally tipped off a press photographer and invited him along for the ride.

    Don’t imagine this show arrest – it hasn’t got to charges or a show trial as yet – of some dubious right-wingers (actual charges and the trial might be awkward in exposing the state-operative embedded agent provocateurs in this supposed movement) and this stuff isn’t simply a thing of Mitteleuropa…

    See frontpage of the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper this morning where our very own far-right are placed on public trial by media – after a rather British, rather financial market-led and rather successful coup was carried out against them: The inside story of Lizz Truss’s 45-day ‘libertarian free-for-all’ that nearly crashed Britain.

    Who’s telling their side of this tale ‘exclusively’ to the left-leaning ‘i’?

    Why ‘Officials’ of course. Past or present…or permanent perhaps, we wonder?

    I cut into the 2200 news on R4 yesterday evening. In a blatantly biased interview by James Coomarasamy he interviews some local to the coal mine just agreed by UK Government. It may have been a local authority person – I missed the very beginning. The ‘interview’ questioning stepped well over the distinction between, seeking/conveying all the facts in an objective manner and basic aggressive ‘spoilt child’ style interviewing. Absolutely blatant biased behaviour by a BBC interviewer. upfront with the BBC’s Marxist principles. Probably ranks one of the highest levels of bias experienced in my book.

      Strange how the mixed race always come down on their black side, despite being half white.

      Maybe couples of each colour really should deeply think about the affect their relationship will have on future children, because today’s generation are in a state of permanent anger. One only has to look at Lewis Hamilton – never a thought for his white mother. Same with Markle and her dad.

        I have to admit that I’m mixed race. I have had the experience of growing up mixed race. I would never recommend anyone enter into mixed race marriages. The children will be rejected and subjected to discrimination by both sides of the family, Liberals who believe discrimination is a thing of the past need to get out and meet ordinary people who almost universally still call other races Pakis, niggers, chinks etc. I’m not condoning it but it’s the real world. My mother should never have come to Britain, she never adapted.

            Concur. In nosey application terms my kids are by definition mixed race but beyond intrusive meddling bureaucrats it has never come up or been an issue from babes in arms. Nor my wife. I had much more race-related interaction directed at me in the countries I worked in overseas. May help that she came back here as part of the family, settled in, down and got on with it, living and working and contributing to the community from day one. Professionally or socially her race has never mattered. The kids less so. But agree with Nibor there will be those who spoil things here too… as anywhere. Not nice. Not Unusual.

          Off the top of my head, Saving Private Ryan is very watchable but stupid.
          Cold Mountain is full of geographical errors (to be expected when a British director makes an American Civil War movie in Romania).

        Ginger Jihadis: Why Redheads are Attracted to Radical Islam

        https://www.hindujagruti.org/news/20659.html

        We discovered that 76 per cent of white British converts to radical Islam had red hair. In the Daily Mail archives, 69 per cent of white Brits lured into jihadism or the orbit of an extremist preacher were ginger. The number was similar for the Mirror and the Telegraph. The Guardian yielded a full 100 per cent redhead rate for the stories we sampled.

    It would be a bit like a modern version of the old Danegeld only this time it’s Fregeld (or freegeld)

          Meghan Markle’s Net Worth
          Amid multiple controversies, Markle has maintained a net worth of $60 million between herself and her husband, Prince Harry, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Although her marriage to the prince gave her the titles of Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel, Markle came into the marriage with her own money and career — and a net worth of $2 million when they walked down the aisle. The couple, who separated from the royal family in early 2020, gave away their rights to the money Harry received through his royal lineage.

    Thousands of women in Greenland, including some as young as 12, had a contraceptive device implanted in their womb – often without consent – as part of a Danish campaign to control Greenland’s growing Inuit population in the 60s and 70s.

    The Danish government has announced an independent investigation into this so-called “Coil Campaign”.

    But the BBC has gathered accounts from women about recent involuntary contraception, amid growing calls for the investigation to go further.

    Unless you think there’s a Fleet Street conspiracy to single out and report on ginger jihadis – and that the Guardian is leading the charge – the data clearly demonstrate that white people who convert to radical Islam are overwhelmingly likely to be ginger.

      In 2021, The Duke of Sussex through his work at Archewell Foundation was appointed to the Aspen Institute Commision on Information Disorder; serving as a commissioner on a panel focusing on the sources and causes of the information crisis. Alongside leaders from the public and private sectors, policy experts, academics, and researchers, the Aspen Institute’s Commision is developing recommendations to address society’s growing misinformation and disinformation emergencies across government, media, civil society, and industry.

      Led by former Google Design Ethicist Tristan Harris, the Center for Humane Technology is dedicated to radically reimagining our digital infrastructure.

      In partnership with Global Citizen, Archewell Foundation is helping to lead a worldwide effort to equitably distribute COVID-19 vaccines to the global population.

      The Fund supports research and program development, as well as the goals and overall mission of C2i2: reimagining technology, championing racial and economic justice in the tech sector, and strengthening democracy through culture-making and public policy work.

      These Centers will act as emergency service kitchens during times of high-need or disaster, and as food distribution hubs, schools, clinics, or safe community gathering zones during non-disaster times. In addition to this partnership, Archewell Foundation recently made a donation to support World Central Kitchen’s emergency response in the wake of the earthquake in Haiti.

    TWatO Watch #1 – off switch activated ….

    …. but not before the Montacutie revealed various things about the ‘Shy Couple’. Now my memory is not what it was but do I not recall correctly that it was Prince Harry who said that friends set him up with Meghan in a ‘blind date’? Apparently he now says it happened through social media, via Instagram. Can anyone confirm that the new version is true. Impossible. Can anyone confirm that Harry said on mic he was set up on a blind date with Meghan? Rather easier to check.

    Apparently, Meghan was totally unprepared for the behaviour of the paparazzo. Really? REALLY???!!!!! That is very hard to believe. She is an actress in her chosen way of life. The paparazzo chase after actresses and actors just like any other celebrity.

    Michael Caine is famous for his recommendation of how to deal with the paparazzo and he should know having achieved far more in his career than Meghan has. Caine famously said that “when you come out of a restaurant or club or bar at midnight, 1 a.m, 2 a.m, whatever, always have a beatific smile on your face which you point at the cameras. What the paparazzo want is for you to look worried, you to look haggard or, even better, angry. Especially if you are angry with them. They love that. No newspaper or magazine wants to buy a photo of you just smiling.”

    That is this with the exception of this morning, excluding the Mail, the Metro, the Star, the Sun, the Times but we have Netflix to thank for that.

    It is inconceivable that Meghan was not prepared for celebrity, ‘the red carpet walk’ at Awards and so on. I think she is taking us for fools, gullible saps, who will believe her fantasies and lies. Secondly, Prince Philip is on record, if I recall correctly, for explaining at length to Diana what marrying into the Royal family involves. I recall that Diana didn’t listen to the advice too closely, either. Most little girls daydream of marrying a prince anyway, do they not?

    I suspect that we are being ‘gaslit’ by the Sussexes. If the Sussexes want a quiet life, do not want attention, why did they do the Netflix series and before that, the televised interview with Oprah? Why are they involved with charities and Foundations and Awards ceremonies? Why did they very publicly move to Canada and then to LA, the very beating heart of celebrity and fame?

    I think they are taking us for fools.

    Forgetting the ins and out of the Netflix thing – I wonder what the longer term consequences of the documentary thing is ? I mean – ok – they get a shedload of cash 4 4 documentaries – but how long can they milk the brand ?

    The last time there was a detached American and an ex king I don’t think it ended well . Im thinking this couple won’t be going to Paris and getting into mercs any time soon ….

    .. but forgive the flippancy – what do they do after they’ve counted the money ? Will the MSM just keep giving them victim contracts ?

    Apparently the king was at an Ethiopian church gig today ( no eggs ) and hasn’t got anything to say about his (maybe ) son ..but that’s for the best eh? …

    9pm BBC2 a drama series called The English
    .. What’s that about ?

    .. Weird it’s a western , a story of a White widow and a Red Indian war hero
    Why use that title unless The English are all to be portrayed as baddies .

    Set in 1890, The English presents the journeys of two main characters.
    We are first introduced to Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), a member of the Pawnee who also served as a decorated soldier during the Civil War.
    A talented warrior and a mournful soul, Eli must journey to claim the land that is rightfully his but also contend with the bias and *racist attitude towards indigenous people* by white settlers both American and non

      I’ve had a look at The English a few times but haven’t watched an entire episode. It’s less than gripping. As you might expect from a modern western, everything seems a bit “off.”
      Emily Blunt doesn’t convince as an aristocrat on the frontier and her costume is ridiculous. Everything has that unreal look of over-sharpness and saturated colour that digital photography often has.
      As for baddie Rafe Spall, he calls to mind Alan Rickman’s acceptance speech for his best supporting BAFTA for Robin Hood Prince of Thieves:
      “With your permission, I would like to keep this as a reminder that subtlety isn’t everything.”

    The BBC must be loving Harry & Meghan.

    Episodes 1 and 2 are laced with allegations of racism – among the public, the media, social media, and the Royal Family.

    But in Episode 3 the gloves really come off, as it kicks off with one long historical diatribe against the evils of the British Empire and slavery. Even its abolition was racist, according to ‘historian’ David Olusoga.

    I wonder where his people are from?

    His blurb in Wikipedia informs us that “he has written for The Guardian, The Observer, New Statesman and BBC History magazine.” Well, what a surprise.

    Well Biden has done what everyone told him not to do and released the Russian “Merchant of death” arms dealer and war criminal so they could get back Britney Griner, one of their own.

    She really is a top box ticker this one a Black lesbian woman (allegedly) who looks more like a bloke, a Democrat and hater of America who refused to even enter the Basketball court if they played the US anthem.

    Meanwhile the ex US Marine imprisoned there is left to rot, because as a White hetrosexual male his life is considered worthless compared to the other.

    And that goes for all the brave men fighting against Putin who might well now die as a result of the release of a truly dangerous war criminal, and Putin Ally.

    Putin must be laughing himself stupid at the idiocy of the Mafia Democrat crime party for doing this exchange.
