Regular as clock work there is always a tragedy in the run-up to Christmas. Be it a rail crash, airline disaster, a fire with lives lost, horrendous motorway crash. Now it appears to be little tots who lost their short lives in a frozen lake that wasn’t frozen enough to take their weight.
My first question was – and where were the parents of these kiddies? then why was a 6 YEAR OLD allowed to be trotting on the lake ? no mention of any supervision whatsoever. Maybe this will all come to light in due course.
Makes little difference if you see my post earlier this morning

There is a weather article on the bbc at the moment about a “yellow snow warning”. Does nobody read these things before posting them? All I know about yellow snow is that it’s not safe to eat.
There was another article about the new Cumbrian coal mine which mentioned that the coal would be of the correct composition to be used in steel-making. OK so far. The writer went on to mention that it was hoped to use hydrogen in the future. Still ok. Apparently, using hydrogen instead of iron will cut emissions by 61%. it will make for some pretty lightweight cars too.
And you can just tie them to some railings instead of searching for a parking space.

MM, I am tending towards T-T and at office parties at any time, I just gravitated toward the fruit juices, as did others, and let the other colleagues drink beer, spirits, whatever. However, I’m happy to drop the T-T bit for wine and one departmental lunch the host went for a very expensive (£29 in mid-80s, on expenses anyway) bottle of Port to finish with and it was like having the proverbial Paul Hogan/Crocodile Dundee “angels crying on your tongue”. Delicious.

French car-burning returns for New Year’s Eve
Published
1 January
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59847372
A total of 874 cars have been set alight during New Year’s Eve celebrations in France, police say.
However, the interior ministry said the number was much lower than in 2019. Authorities also reported a rise in the number of people stopped and detained.
A curfew to tackle Covid-19 meant no significant disruption took place this time last year.
As a fictional French policeman in Morocco once said, “Round up the usual suspects.”
These are people supposedly “celebrating”, FFS.
What are they going to be like if and when they lose?

If Boris had a birthday cake it would never be off the news.
It is of interest that Times radio is reporting that the good EU lady had immunity from arrest and that police only acted after her father was discovered elsewhere with a whole bunch of money.

Something I have noticed about reporting sad events like the boys drowned in the lake. The media/BBC always interview someone who talks about the community. There is a steadfast desire to keep the community (presumably diverse) at the centre. The fatalities usually bring the community together and someone has a narrative to address
GWF
I’d not heard of the concept of ‘vicarious grief ‘ where someone can hit the’ On’ switch – wallow in the sadness of others – then switch off when they’ve had enough .
The high point was princess Diana – whom I bet 99.99% of those people being sad had never met but saw as a ‘friend ‘ …
..very strange ….
Community is a much abused word used to justify all sorts of Government enterprise and interference. Also widely used by the odious Housing Trusts with their Socialist/woke agenda while they treat their tenants like dirt.
How about this for Wokism….The extreme Left head of a Housing Trust I know has a policy of recruiting ex-offenders as maintenance staff. Fancy having an ex offender having keys to your house and being able to freely wander round when you have called in to have the toilet fixed while you are out? What could go wrong? I’m sure that many ex offenders will progress into being pillars of society but……I think some people need to connect with the real World.
Absolutely typical BBC sly reporting over the execution of a protester in Iran.
Majidreza Rahnavard: Iran carries out second execution over protests
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-63939428
Not exactly correct is that BBC?
The real reason for the execution was that the bloke stabbed two guards to death during the protest. Kinda changes the story somewhat hey BBC so why include it as an after-thought way down the story?
This is a classic example of why the BBC cannot be trusted. Always worth delving for the real story with any info coming from the BBC!
Bet BBC Media Action are involved in the reporting. All helps in the USA and the Wests meddling in other countries affairs ie regime change

Speaking of which, you can take Sopes out of the BBC, but you can’t take the ideological propaganda out of Sopes.
Dear Winston Smith,
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.
“Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services – television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected”

Earlier today the chair of the parliament health committee explained why the government won’t ‘ can’t give a big big pay rise to the medical mafia .
An independent pay board had decided 4.5%? Is fair but that’s not acceptable to the angel nurses . Disregarding the finding of a mutually accepted ‘independent ‘ pay review board drives a coach through other agreements – his view …
Tonight the sec state for health meets the medical mafia. And will – I bet – cave in and give the Scottish number 7.5% – which it seems the already striking NI nursing angels will accept – it’s just about money …..

It seems more and more painful that Harry Windsor and his wife are whinging in public about their ‘family troubles ‘ when the people of the country where he was once a prince are having a real tough time …..
Maybe he hadn’t grown up – or has mental issues – or it is that self obsessed LA thing ….. but for a former member of the royal family to publicly behave that way is – unseemly – particularly if he is doing it for dollars …
Should he eventually collapse under the continual strain of being bamboozled by his wife, it will probably be put down to PTSD.
All those firefights and h2h combat finally taking its toll.
Mrs Voter is now watching Just Connect, 1 fellow called Hardwick with a five o’clock shadow is wearing makeup and an Alice band. You could not make it up.
Indeed, and didn’t Hardwick – surely a droll euphemism – make the most of his moments of stardom. To describe him as arch would diminish both Marble and de Triomphe.
Indeed. Me and the missus were watching it. Camp is the word. Think he was looking for a job as an extra on Nortons weekly rubbish. The missus actually shouted at the TV for him/she/it to shut the f*** up!
It was worse than that – at least 4 contestants looked as if they were in pantomime drag. Seasonal? Offswitch anyway. We have built in free view on the telly – this makes it hard to claim that we don’t watch live broadcasts?

Juat a thought coalescing is the way US democrats have given taxpayer funding and subsidies to those that support them, turning them into huge concerns and giving their supporters an unfair competetive edge over rivals.
Take Amazon, a struggling small book seller received $5 billion in the last decade alone, with Bezos a known Democrat supporter repaying the party by buying the Washington Post and donating millions to them
Or Tesla with Musk a Democrat supporter Obama gave the company a whopping $465 million directly plus government subsidies to every buyer of one of their cars amounting to a further $3.4 billion. Now he is on the naughty step and don’t we know it!
Or Apple with Tim Cook a British Gay CEO and Democrat supporter, the worlds largest company despite which it received $891 million in 2021 alone. For the midterms Apple returned the favour with donations of $1.3 milion
As a strategy it’s a clever one. Using taxpayers money to promote and grow those companies which are favourable to your cause and will in the future donate and promote you, it’s perhaps no surprise Big tech largely based in Democrat heartland California is so pro the party.
It’s a little surprising just how many companies grew on the back of government funding by Democrat governments, and I wonder if the Republicans are playing the same game – however it does not appear to be doing to, or at least not with as much success.
BBC do on-site broadcast from the place where the 3 children have died after falling through lake ice.
All the panoramic shots show predominantly white people.
Online, a report suggests the area is 91% white.
Click to access InfoandIntelligence_Kingshurst-and-Fordbridge-Ward-Profile.pdf
But among the 91% white population, guess what? Of all the people to interview, the BBC manage to find only a black Afro-Caribbean lady called Confort.
Yes, even in moments of tragedy, the multiculti-thought-police at the BBC just cannot help themselves.
A total disgrace at such a time.
As I’ve said many times, the Left don’t give a flying f*ck about how many people die or how horribly they do it. They only care when whoever did the killing suits their agenda.
Yesterday we got told how Iran executed another protestor and the immediate inference was that they did it just because he protested. Then if you kept reading, it morphed into the fact he only had a 23 day trial which then eventually led to the fact he had murdered two people with a knife.
If they were against the protests, the fact protestors were murdering people would have been the headline.
You can’t take a single word the BBC say at face value.

EU corruption scandal: European Parliament offices searched
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63952993
“Eva Kaili was arrested on Saturday and has reportedly had her assets frozen” sounds painful, well hopefully
“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the accusations were “very serious” and called for the creation of a new ethics body to oversee the bloc” – oversee ourselves, says the Teflon eu. Already does that, i’m still wondering when the audits of its accounts will be published
Joke of the day:
‘MEPs who spoke to our correspondent say they are shocked by both the scale and blatancy of the accusations.’
The key part of this story is how it would never have been ‘discovered’ if it wasn’t for those pesky Belgian police. You can be sure this is the very tip of the iceberg.
Elswhere I see her being referred to as ‘Greek socialist MEP Eva Kaili’. The BBC do not mention that bit at all – which is strange considering how quick they are to label politicians as ‘far-right’.
This story is huge – yet it’s not even on the main front page now. Apparently ‘Man with broken hip taken to hospital tied to plank’ is more important at the BBC. Somehow they managed to write 1,139 words about that – stuffed to the hilt with irrelevant empathy and emotion as BBC ‘news’ seem to do more and more these days.
In the run up to Brexit, someone I know knew an MEP and quoted him saying that however corrupt you might think the EU is, you can multiply it by 10.
“however corrupt you might think the EU is, you can multiply it by 10”
That’s the way our ‘top’ civil servants (and the rest of the notable rejoiners) like it.
Easy money when you get that EU job/pension leading to ‘international’ posts and bouquets.
The multi levels of corruption and collusion make it easier to obscure the crimes and spread the blame if detected.
It is an industry in itself.
Too right, Islander!
What the awful BBC never seem to investigate, or even mention, is the fact that when the referendum to leave the EU was being conducted, one of the main reasons for so many Leavers, was that normal, British working citizens – nearly all in the private sector, were just utterly fed up (not you Fed), with the arrant corruption, arrogant entitlement to un-checked eye-watering expenses, and ‘running’ a bunch of Eurocrats year by year, without the accounts EVER being signed off!
It was the years of seeing the Kinnocks, Mandelson and all the other leftie failures in a British decmocracy, creaming every opportunity to get rich at the expense of the British taxpayer, which made us all throw our arms up in the air and tell them all to sod off!
Much of the problem was also having weeklings like Cameron, piddling about at the edges with the idiot Clegg, who just paid lip service to all the corruption in the EU, ignored the crookery and they got a firm answer from true Brits!
The BBC of course just spent all their time trying to keep us in with all the bad-breath of the EU!
Today
Not much / any coverage of EU corruption …..I bet the new ethics body will be ‘populated’ by ex members of FIFA….
… do you notice how the Godless Far Left BBC still has Christmas©️ as a sort of ‘national reference point ‘ for ‘families ‘ to ‘come together ‘.
Yet it spends the year ‘dissing ‘ families – favouring the ‘single parent or queer parent ‘ ‘family ‘ as well as anything non judeochristian outfit which deserves ‘support’?
Large numbers of people – for a variety of reasons – do not have these idealised christmases – it’s another day to them – whole ‘communities ‘( Muslims ) don’t even recognise it – apart from profiteering from it …
But on the BBC go with people ‘needing to get home for Christmas’ ….
The people who work for the BBC busily dismantling anything of value or tradition throughout the year suddenly revert to a mystical view of a Christmas it helped to destroy long ago ….. now where’s that repeat of morecambe and wise….?

…………I think the BBC is in heaven on Thursday – ‘interviewing ‘ striking nurses on their picket lines in freezing cold weather –

You have to admire the planning of the blue labour government – if you want to book a hotel you’ll either not be able to or pay a huge cost –

I think you offend schoolboys . Parliament is not ‘run’ by anyone . It’s just a series of woke pressure groups wanting to ban or regulate something and reduce more freedoms in the name of ‘community safety ‘ … conservatives are so few that they look and sound ‘rare’. …
I do wonder what they’ll do when the money runs out – when taxes get so high they can’t get more – when huge amounts are spent just paying the interest on all that borrowed and wasted money …. Perhaps in the next parliament ….
The Present “government” clamps down on its own people but goes easy on the criminal, Channel invaders ie free hotel accommodation, free money free health treatment etc etc.

Meeshal Hussain versus Comrade Mickey Lynch …
I felt quite emotional – it was back to comrade scargill days – Mickey lynch actually challenging a poorly prepared BBC droid who was reading the questions off the card and was unable to meet comrade lynch …..
Even though I am of the Far Right – comrade Lynch was not given a fair shake and I was proud that he challenged the stance of the BBC . Am I any more enlightened by the issues around the rail strike ?( no ) is the BBC biased ?yes ….
Me ? I hate the railways – I’d dig up the tracks and make more roads …
Fed Up2
Yeah, it was good wasn’t it?
A punch up between two leftists.
But credit to Mr Lynch for taking it to the BBC. What a shame our gutless government never does the same.
Mr Lynch did however also reveal towards the end that this is clearly a political strike and not just a narrow union dispute between ‘management’ and ‘workforce’.
And worth pointing out, since Useless didn’t, the glaring omission that EVERY pay decile in the public sector earns more than the same decile in the private sector. And that doesn’t include pension rights. Yes even all those ‘rich bankers’ in the private sector are outweighed by the vast armies of public sector types on £100k plus. That’s five or six in every council in the country just for starters. I wonder if that also includes train drivers?
https://order-order.com/2022/12/13/mick-lynch-goes-off-the-rails-on-today-programme/
Maybe it could be pointed out, gently, to BBC staff, that just asking questions can see folk banned by the ECU and blocked on twitter.
FYI.
Sluff – I’m not sure if the Marxism language ( cost of labour ) comrade Lynch uses gets his case much further . But I do enjoy the left fighting the left ….
I can’t remember how the inflation / interest rises / strikes ended last time … was it the eventual advent of Mrs Thatcher ?
The inflation rate shows no sign of reducing – although oil prices have fallen ? But I suppose if it stays cold across the West up it will go again …..
If the real inflation rate for people ( not economists ) is around 20% these claims for double digit pay increases are not going away – who ever runs the Cabinet .
The expectation ( tradition ) is for unions to expect a labour government to be more sympathetic – but I think there is so little difference between the red and the blue that little change will come …

Free advice for any entitled whiners out there: have a day off
Nope, that’s not advice aimed at any regular habitués hereabouts. It’s lifted from the cheeky Daily Star’s masthead Thought for the Day
Windbags’ new rant: Blah! Blah! Sob! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!
And that wasn’t meant as a jibe directed locally hereabouts nor for that matter a response to the Guardian headline: Government report blames NHS crisis on Tory ‘decade of neglect’
In fact that blah blah sob blah blah is also from the Star and of course it too relates to the latest teaser for an episode in the on-going Netflix financed Royal soap opera. The Mirror likes the quote: Harry: ‘They lied to protect my brother’
As is typical of allegations tossed about by this couple – her notorious for having achieved minor celebrity and he famous for having been born to notoriety – their accusations remain nebulous: It remains unclear whether the duke is talking about the media… or Buckingham Palace (Times)
The Daily Star’s rather tired, heard-it-all-before, get back to us when you’ve something original to say, response to the Sussexes show might well also suit as reposte to that Guardian-favoured: …paper by the King’s Fund health thinktank.
One notes halfway through paragraph four of the Gruan frontpage anti-Tory austerity screed the faint whiff of a pachyderm lurking in the pre-op room: “Though Covid certainly exacerbated the crisis in the NHS and social care we are ultimately paying the price for a decade of deglect” – and, one might add, two decades of hyper-immigration
The diagnosis, as always from the health blob: dearth of long-term investment – the prescription, as always – more tax payer money, regular, consistent, reliable, more tax payer money.
Even totalitarian innovator of the policy communist China has eased off on their Lockdown against their home-grown infection, yet the globalist FT still hasn’t yet got over the pan-panic and its faith in a pharmaceutical panacea: Experts have warned Beijing to accelerate approval for updated vaccines as new coronavirus varients spead quickly across the country after its zero-Covid approach was eased last week
Does one detect a note of regret there from the FT?
Oh dear, the FT obliged to report on its beloved Brussels mired in scandal: Qatar graft probe widens… politicians vowed to fight back on sleaze
Does one again detect a note of disappointment as the FT reports a glimmer of good economic news for the UK?: Economy grows 0.5% but outlook remains black… car sales and construction fired up Britain’s economy in October
Did Britain really free itself of the EU? That’s arguable. Apparently Ulster didn’t: The sale of nationalised energy supplier Bulb to Octopus could be a breach of EU state aid rules in Northern Ireland, rival provider Centrica has said.
More weather news…
Operation brass monkeys – is how the Daily Star sums up the situation: Brits urged to cut energy use. Schools shut and chaos on roads. Worse to come with deadly ice.
The Daily Mail dials it in and tends to agree: Frozen Britain grinds to a halt. Flights cancelled. Drivers stranded for 8 hours. And today striking rail unions will selfishly pile on the misery
Not to worry, the Guardian tends to believe any old pipe dream any so-called expert has to sell: Scientists hail nuclear ‘holy grail’ on energy
And in sports news…
C’mon, er, Morocco! (Star)
Politics…
Something about the juxtaposition of this trailer for a feature and an adjacent frontpage headline in the Telegraph brought a wry smile: Sherelle Jacobs. Rishi’s Invisible Man act will doom the Tories
England open to hiring a foreign manager – don’t we know it. That was of course a sports report on the routine under-achievement of English international football.
By the way, we know Rishi is a short arsed manlet, but invisible?
And finally, in wimmins’ interests news, care of the formerly sensible Times: Yoga wars. Yes I wear £80 leggings – is that a problem? Anna Murphy
Asiseeit – your half sentence mentioning uncontrolled population increases is the key to all the ailments affecting Blighty . It’s bound to be if public services have been set to ‘deal with ‘ say 10 million less people than there actually are.
Yet – the huge increase is barely mentioned – I’m not even talking about demographic – just huge numbers – the affect on housing – infrastructure – health – education – the lot – is all there .
It’s a bit like the BBC digging down on each industrial dispute – cause – inflation – but no mention of the root cause – socialist level creation of money …..
So the cause – too many people – too much mass produced money …. The rest is consequences ….

Prince William sold The Big Issue in London to highlight ‘solvable’ homelessness

What made me laugh about this headline is that the BBC are far, far worse with their own lies to protect their woke agenda. From white-hands holding knives in articles about knife crime, pictures of women/children immigrants instead of the vast majority of young males along with pictures of BAME from events which are 99% white (which include any events at all which involve supporting the country and it’s traditions), putting things like BAME murders in Londonistan and Birmingham quickly into ‘regions’ and simply not reporting things they don’t want us to know (which is basically anything positive about the political Right).
They hypocrisy and double standards of it all is completely off the scale.
A man has been arrested “following a disturbance” in Westminster Hall, where the Queen is lying in state, after reports of someone running up the steps to the catafalque and touching the coffin.

A man who appeared to grab the flag draped over the Queen’s coffin did so because he did not believe she was dead and wanted to check for himself, a court has heard.
Muhammad Khan, 28, allegedly left the queue in Westminster Hall on Friday night while the monarch was Lying in State as the live feed briefly cut away.

Not a spoof.
One has to ask, again, why the BBC wheels on a raisin brain like Ms. Sultana to ‘discuss’ an issue and then use the BBC platform to gabble away on something totally different, actively supported by Ms. Coburn.
Not to underplay the terrible accident involving the children, but BBC reporters do focus on the community.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-63948011
”But what has become apparent in the midst of this tragedy is a tight-knit community pulling together to help one another….
…Mother-of-four Comfort Konfor (she is smiling in the photo) said she had found out what had happened late on Sunday night via her children’s school, and was at the Connection Church Centre in Kingshurst on Monday.
New to the area, she praised the local community for coming together.
“It’s a very wonderful community. People are lovely, they are friendly,” she said.
“Comfort Konfor says her children go to the same school as the boys who died and are similar ages”
Great to get probing insight from someone so close to the incident. Thanks BBC.
….which is amazing considering the area is 90% white.
The BBC multiculti agenda goes on irrespective of tragedy.
Looks like Sweller will clamp down on street harassment,

This caught my eye. Sales of dark glasses are likely to increase.
”Campaigners have also called for wolf-whistling and staring intently to be criminalised”.
Very important to honk on and on and on about wimmin so that you then have to do nothing about black boys stabbing each other to death. After all who needs to care about that?
Clearly to implement this new regime we will need morality police on our streets. What could possibly go wrong?

The EU-Qatari corruption scandal is quickly escalating into a major headache for Brussels. Yesterday, Guido reported on the alleged bribes top EU lawmakers had pocketed from the Qatari government, including to European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili. Then, it was claimed Belgian investigators had found cash worth €600,000 in one legislator’s apartment. Now they’ve found another bag of cash under the mattress, and the current figure is over €1 million…

Never mind the fact that murdered MP David Amess was attempting to get money from the Qataris.

Vigil held for three boys who died in icy lake near Solihull
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-63954733
“Police said searches of the water would continue throughout Tuesday but have stressed there is no suggestion anybody else is missing.”
So what exactly are they searching for?
‘West Midlands Police said one of its officers had to punch through the ice to try to rescue the boys.
The force is being guided by the families as to how much information was made available to the media, Supt Richard Harris said, adding it was doing “everything we possibly can to support them”.’
So the usual practice of the police withholding information of what happened is down to the families…
BBC naturaly toeing the line, concentrating on candelit vigils, flowers and balloons and hero public sector workers.
‘Rev Mandy Harris…
spoke of the strength of community spirit in the area..
“We’ve got families that have been here for five generations,” said Marcus Brain. “Everybody knows everybody else.’
I’m surprised the BBC hasn’t challenged this racism: we all know diverse communities with immigrants who’ve been here 5 minutes are the backbone of society.
“Police believe there were a number of witnesses at the lake they are yet to speak to and are urging them to come forward.”
10 generations of being wary of talking to the police..
Unsurpringly, Brussels is in meltdown over this. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has even warned that “democracy is under attack”. It’s turning into the biggest corruption scandal in the bloc’s history…
