Oh, back at the summit, Brissles will moan and complain and talk of bribery and corruption. Oh dear!
Have a great weekend everyone and I hope we all have a much better year in 2023. I wish that for you all, anyway.
Happy New Year .
Here`s one new year`s resolution i always keep .
I won`t buy a TV licence .

Happy new year to all.

Tip : Every day next week 9am Radio4 Climate Activism series
with Amol Rajan
Doesn’t look impartial at all
Monday R4 9am Rethink Climate
Episode 1 of 5 of Pledges and progress
Amol Rajan and guests examine the pledges that have been made on climate change and how far we have gone towards meeting them.
What has worked to reduce greenhouse gasses and whatâs not working, including the role of COP.
Is the commitment to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees the right one?
More notes eg Very female team .. see how there is only one white man gets on air
+ One sentence about each show
Yes. But according to the BBC MMGW science is proven and settled. Contrary views and analysis of data that might try to cast doubt on MMGW is forbidden
“the commitment to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees”
is utterly absurd – but it’s a mantra trotted out by the cult faithful. I look forward to Chinese and Indian representatives on the BBC next week elaborating how that might be achieved from their country perspective.
They won’t let anyone who might mock them anywhere near the studio while they have their circle jerk sessions going on.
Rather funny when they canât agree on anything.
The comments.
The Twitter account is clearly not typed by a lone 19 year old school skipping Swedish school girl
Rather looks like it’s written by a a clever Green PR team
Greta is a front BRAND rather than a person
Until one of the team hits the Jäegermeisters and tweets something that activates another outrage sub community, at which point it will turn out she had been hacked, or something Ed Milipede can get away with but not folk needing jail to be disposed of.
The entire #prasnews business runs politics, activism, media, with competing groups driving up each otherâs hit, and hence market rates.
FFS Crace is saying “Can please stop calling someone who is only a teenager for the next 4 days , teenager”
Greta is 20 on Jan 3rd.
What a pointless tweet
but I know if I searched Crace’s groups tweets
there will be tweets saying evil people like Julia Hartley Brewer are bullying “a teenage girl”
“What kind of president bullies a *teenager*?
@realDonaldTrump, you could learn a few things from Greta on what it means to be a leader”
President Biden tweeted and got 98,000 Likes
Greta is an example of The PR trick of using a child as a SHIELD when pushing political agendas
Curiously, Thunberg shares her birthday with Kyle Rittenhouse, also born on January 3rd, 2003. Readers will recall that Kyle was forced to despatch three left-wing nasties who were trying to kill him. At his trial in November 2021, Kyle was correctly found to have acted in self defence and was cleared of any wrongdoing. Out of these two young people who share the same birthday, most sensible folk can easily determine who has done the most for humanity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Rittenhouse
Lol – i guess â fruit loop â is ok then ?
Ex President Trump’s tax returns, a most curious saga.
So the Democrats have obtained an order that they should be released. How exactly? There surely can’t be a Law that requires a President to disclose them? There is a custom that Presidents do release them but that’s it as far as I know. If the President has to release his tax returns then why not other high officials or even the entire public sector or everybody?
Why bother getting them released after the Presidency?
It’s interesting that Trump doesn’t seem to have fought against release too actively. Perhaps he has bigger fish to fry and there’s nothing much to hide…….Indeed that seems to be the case.
Pelosi + Biden tax returns are gonna be fun
In a glorious new twist, this silly old trout has weighed in late, clearly unaware that it has already shredded her toy boyâs credibility first.
Part 2 Sopel admits he exaggerates and “endless means 30 mins”
Probably not even that
As ever, I just don’t get why people on Twitter just take it at face value that the first tweeter is being accurate.
After that someone says
” We had to queue *before Brexit*.
Just a small matter of not being in Schengen.”
Ah in 2018 before Brexit a frequent flyer said the usual wait was 25 mins
… https://twitter.com/AnnaJerzewska/status/1005879168863735810
People used to, especially if a well known name from a well known and once respected brand is involved.
Now it is backfiring magnificently.
Lost count of the number of scientists, lawyers, doctors, and media parasites using passport queues as a personal propaganda snark and ending up making everything from Remain to climate change just examples of media ideology from the bubble gone daft.
Sopel answered back that he wasn’t Brexit snarking like Meaden took it to be.
He said ” IJust said what I saw” ?
#1 He falsely said the queue was “endless”
.. it was only 30 mins
#2 used a Shrugging emojii as if saying “Go figure”
#3 Omitted the contexts that Brits have always used that non-Shengen line
& 25 mins was normal
Meaden is simply a one trick peroxide victim.
Like Emma Kennedy, only still on Twitter, not actually reading beyond her bubble headline to find it backfired wildly.
Sopel ‘you do false facts I wasn’t on a winter jaunt to St Moritz’ “I’ve never been to St Moritz”
The fact is it was a winter jaunt and Sopel on ÂŁ270K/year does often go on winter jaunts skiing etc.
Good to see a country with proper border controls.
What a shame we canât be like that.
Debs – stick with the cat charities
Deborah Meaden is a “dragon” who got rich running caravan parks. There is no reason to respect her opinions on Brexit or climate change, even though she postures as an expert on both.
It seems that appearing on the BBC makes people think their opinions matter. The clinical term is Lineker Syndrome. There is no cure.
Rob!
Great minds an’ all that!
You’ve nutshelled the issue perfectly, and saved my tired fingers from typing my usual stuff!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from Jacindaland. My best wishes to all of you who stand against the globalist ratbag BBC.
I just saw this by PJW. I get the feeling the BBC isn’t his favourite channel either.
#Jac-In-A-mess
Blatent Bias ? Yet the Tory Minister for Culture allows it .
Why
Ah … my MP … if I’m not mistaken.
Can’t think of anything she’s actually done beyond a couple of sponsored walks along the canal towpath.

“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes’
Aldous Huxley
Ainât that the truth
Which is what the last 3 years have been about. The New Normal, where healthy kids dropping dead barely raises an eyebrow and becoming a permanent drug addict at the State’s expense is not only encouraged but mandated. Yet still the masses slumber.
Anyone noticed on GB News how often presenters and guests repeat saying that 300,000 new homes a year need to be built? Unchallenged.
GB News is based in London so I guess that this London/SE centric view prevails.
Hmmm, I suggest that people in my old business, hotel development, would be rubbing their hands at all those shiny new 100 bed hotels every year to house the illegals…!
There are currently around 70,000 illegals being put up in the UK, so who is transporting them around, feeding them etc.?
Our pensions…
Gave up on GBNews when the kids took over and Steyn got sick .
True , 300,000 new homes a year wouldn’t even keep up with the incomers, never mind tackle the housing crisis.
On LBC today, a reasonable argument for new homes was being discussed, in that the hundreds new houses would all help first-time buyers to get on the housing market.
But if the councils demand a proportion of these new homes go to leftie housing associations, (proportions vary, but think 20%), then they’ll have lots of lovely places to plonk Ahmed and his eight wives and kids in luxury for the rest of his life!
About three minutes in he exposes the BBC bias over its reporting of retail sales, and it’s interesting the BBC employees think expensive high end clothing stores are the norm for every day people.
Well, even their Spingster Class junior copy paste Bimbos like to stay warm in âŹ200 coats, plus Brexit ÂŁ tax, for âstoryâ arc purposes.

Info for 3 mins in
The newish department store brand Flannels is owned by Sports Direct’s Mike Ashley.
Itâs an ever so slightly upmarket version of #Lonsdale.
The guy is wrong to say Flannels is a new brand
There are 1990 photos of Manchester that show the gentleman’s outfitter Flannels
The Twitter account @FlannelsFashion has existed 9 years.
“Neil Prosser founded Flannels in 1976 with a menswear store in Knutsford
In the year of 2012, Flannels sold a 51% share to sportswear specialist Sports Direct, whilst September 2017 saw the company take full hold of Flannels, as Prosser stepped down as Director of the brand”
He doesn’t say that. You are conflating two stories here, one is the guy saying he’s never seen retail so good, who turns out only to have been in business for three years, and as a seperate illustration Flannels which as far as I heard had no mention of it being a new brand.
Flannels are ‘bags’ anyway, so there’s no disputing the fact that such wearables have been around for ages!
Yes that is true I mixed the two, the bloke on the BBC says he saw on the BBC web article a guy talking about his business
Yet the article contains only women talking, maybe it’s been edited out.
Not sure if the video is just an advert for Chat GPT
No BBC on the final day of a dire year . But those âhonours â⌠what a corrupt and dirty âsystem â that portrays – but on theâ upâ side – no knighthood for Kane or the rest of the woke footy types .
I always assume politicians get gongs because theyâve stayed quiet over something or done someone a favour . My view remains âŚ.
Seriously, Chris Bryant.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64126704
Two MPs who caused trouble for ex-PM Boris Johnson have received knighthoods in the New Year Honours list.
Labour’s Chris Bryant and Conservative Julian Lewis, who chair the standards and intelligence committees respectively, have both been honoured.
Oh Harry – I know – I had to do a double take – then laughed out loud ⌠itâs hard to imagine him being even worse but he will be âŚ. Iâm sure his constituents will be proud âŚ.
The Johnson and truss resignation honours list will be doozeesâŚtaking cronyism to new heights âŚ
I do hope Bryant remembers his trousers this time.
Basically the only high profile people who accept an HONOUR are the DISHONOURABLE ones.
Honourable people like Farage, turn down the honours.
Sorry in advance, but two new knights, Bryant and May.
A matching pair?
Happy New Year
đĽ
Bet they are each thrilled, respectively.
Miserable old hag, and a woman who is no Maggie T.
Actually, Beltane, if I had to stand on the parapet of Buck House, belting out a loyal theme on my Red Devil, I reckon I’d want a Knighthood – after a few scotches that is…!
Brian May and I share exactly the same birthday, (19th July, 1947) but I was born just after 7 o’clock in the evening, so my lovely mum missed ‘The Archers’!
Top rank traitor Mark Sedwill gets elevated to the ORDER OF SAINT MICHAEL AND SAINT GEORGE.

Juxtaposition, synergy and euphemism enough edition
The very cockles of Mr AsI’s heart are warmed (can that be a genuine medical condition? If so one wished one had a ‘Long’ version of it. And if a warmed heart is really a thing – can the right-wing TV Licence-cancelling old cynic now be imagined to have such a thing as a heart?) on those occasions when he notices a newspaper front page that has the aspect of an editor’s day off.
I refer of course to those happy occasions (or is it unhappy for the organs concerned? – newspaper titles are the organs not hearts) of near laughable juxtaposition of clashing contradictory headline reports.
Exhibit one, this old year’s new morn, the Daily Mail:
Rishi orders covid tests on arrivals from China… Sunak steps in over fears Beijing could be covering up emergence of new varients
Whereas: Let Paul McKenna banish your anxiety.. Wake up to a New Year with no worries… See pages 40-43 (Daily Mail)
The Tory Telegraph is caught playing the woke lefty game of all must win prizes: Four Lionesses on honours list – but rest miss out
While their Comment columnist Charles Moore accuses others: It’s high time the BBC’s woke view of history was binned
Under their Business feature the still vaguely patriotic Telegraph reassures UK investors with a crumb or two of comfort: FTSE tops rivals after grim year for markets… the world’s best performing major stock index… As tumbling global stock markets suffered their worst year since 2008 in a near 20pc plunge, London’s blue chip index eked out a 0.9pc gain
Meanwhile, the Financial Times owns its supranational globalist credentials, taking the contrary approach and headlining no British silver lining to those gathering dark international clouds: Markets lose more than $30tn in worst year since financial crisis – as is often the case with the FT, one wonders whether their headline writers are native English speakers – the thrust of their message lost somewhat, becoming confused or over-burdened with clauses?
Does the FT really imply this is NOT presently a financial crisis by refering to THE financial crisis, we presume to be 2008? Or was it 1929 – for those more historically minded?
Sometimes there emerges a sadly relentless synergy where Mr AsI would prefer divergence:
James Naughtie (late of the BBC Radio 4 Today programme parish) now opines in the left-leaning mid-market ‘i’ newspaper: Taking control is a Brexit fantasy
One might have thought this trans-Atlantic internationalist heavyweight would have found his berth at the FT
The FT approves international coordination – or is it supranational direction?: UK, France and Spain rush in controls for travellers from China
The BBC notes: Several countries, including the US, France and India, have imposed testing.
The ever coronaphobic left-leaning ‘i’ we sense to be an increasing influence on BBC newsroom thinking (having noted previously the Guardian conspicuous by its absence from BBC online newspaper line ups of late): Sunak U-turns to join US, Italy and India in imposing curbs amid infection fears
Matt is away (Telegraph) – this we’re well used to – but where’s the Guardian or, given its a Saturday, the Observer? But I digress.
For those assuming Rishi didn’t just receive a phone call from his masters… in other words for those non-conspiratorial-minded who prefer the dumb-ass short-term popularity-seeking politician view of the world: 70pc The proportion of the British public polled yesterday that backed tests for travellers from China (Telegraph)
Another odd synergy here: Carol Vorderman Why gheeky girls are actually cool (‘i’) – there’s a blast from the past for those who in days of yore may have fantasied our Carol giving them two off the top and one off the bottom – was that really the actual catchphrase from the show, or do we miss-remember such things? Was it instead give me some vowels please Carol… A.. E.. I.. O.. U..
Strength in numbers… The Countdown mathematician Rachel Riley is appointed MBE (Times) – we do prefer the formerly patriotic Times’s flimsy excuse for a frontpage pin up to the Telegraph’s woke sporting Lioness lady in white
Long gone are the days of a hang ’em and flog ’em Telegraph editorial line and yet we read: Police warned not to rebrand paedophiles – blimey, one hadn’t realised the judicial branding of malefactors with a hot iron had been brought back from the sixteenth century. Bravo! Next they’ll be clipping ears and noses. From a practical point of view one supposes there is little point in rebranding repeat offenders. I jest of course…
Police describing paedophiles as “minor-attracted people” (MAPs) in a report normalises child abuse, campainers have said (Telegraph) – frankly, from the point of view of Mr AsI (a personality we have already established herabouts to be a right-wing TV Licence-cancelling old cynic) the world paedophile is in itself already euphemism enough for perverts.
And we end on the so-called Tory press (TM BBC) poking fun and talking trash at those former vaguely more conservative PM’s of the recent past which they helped trash and chase out of office:Â ‘Truss in boots’ the panto (FT); Peter Brookes Cartoons of the year (Times) – features front page a vicious sketch rendering of Boris outside a trashed post-party No10 announcing his departure: “This is the end of an error”
And this is the end of a year (nearly) and of today’s press review (decidedly). Do have a happy new one, one and all, hereabouts.
Lets see how the bbc handle the death of a pope
He died due to climate change or possibly due to the war in Ukraine
Surely Brexit was the cause.
Pretty unfazed talking about catholic paedos but muzzies get a free ride with the bbc
Since resigning he has been living in Portmeirion, here in North Wales, while continually being asked “Why did you resign?”. I’ve no idea what his number was but he always claimed to be a free man.
No doubt he was being ‘pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, and errr debriefed’.
There was a French Cardinal who died on the job n’est-ce pas?
The question that interests me about Ratszinger was why he resigned? Was it due to sexual abuse in the church and him not cracking down harder on it , the explanation favoured and hinted at by the MSM or was it perhaps his openly stated antipathy to Islam , coupled with his maintenance of traditional Catholic doctrine. Both of these aspects of Papacy dismayed the powerful globalist one worlders. His replacement was notably liberal on both issues and much else besides.
Me too Dt.
I always assumed he got forced out so they could install the terrible Francis.
In a “novel” approach to the New Year’s Honours junket the procedures have been sub contracted and simplified. Established Titles will sell you a piece of Westminster for a few pounds and you get your requested title on a piece of A4 paper in the post, industrial action permitting.
Notice how while a few awards get highlighted- lady footballers, old rock guitarists, old fashion designers, the bulk of the gongs go to public sector time servers for services to âturning up for workâ.
This used to be a sop to those who served but were âunderpaidâ. But now that every pay decile for workers is higher for the public sector than the private, not to mention massively generous pension schemes, this is no longer valid.
Why donât private sector workers get more gongs? They have become the deserving ones.
‘the bulk of the gongs go to public sector time servers for services to âturning up for workâ.
Or not, as recently the WFH case may be.
Too true, AsISeeit!
‘Other Buggers Efforts’, never the people who actually provide the wealth…
Our poll tax has gone up yet again to pay for the wfhs who can keep their shiny cars in their drives.
Through my early morning snooze I think I heard one of the most appalling woke Toady programmes ever.
It was supposed to be about opportunity but this only applied to the usual suspects – black musicians for instance.
Of opportunity for white working class boys who habitually underachieve at school there was, of course, no word.
#whitelivesdontmatter
Opportunuty is there
To deny that is another lefty libtard lie, look at many asian black people
but they often do not have many positive male role models apart from footballers, and so many worship violence, drug dealers and gang culture, a simple look at the majority of black music tells you all you need to know about how so many view work and education
11:30am FooC : Special edition looking back at the war in Ukraine
A record for me today. R4 Today, immediately, “….. she comes from a British/Nigerian family…”. Off.
I’m into milliseconds now!
All I want is international news. I accept the BBC’s lying, deceitful distortions and embroidery and I see through most of it.
Prominent piece on the webshite today about a lady whose house is about to fall into the sea at Happisburgh, Norfolk. All very sad of course, but coastal erosion has been happening for billions of years. I wondered how soon the BBC would mention climate change as a cause- the answer, very quickly indeed. Box ticked. My New Yearâs Resolution- avoid the rancid organ altogether.
Anyone who has studied geography (i.e. not bbc uneducated kidult morons) will know that glaciation in Scotland tipped the UK due to its weight, the UK north is now slowly bouncing back and the the south is lowering and consequent sea level rises in the south.
“What is glacial isostatic adjustment?
Glacial isostatic adjustment is the ongoing movement of land once burdened by ice-age glaciers
This ongoing movement of land is called glacial isostatic adjustment. Here’s how it works: Imagine lying down on a soft mattress and then getting up from the same spot. You see an indentation in the mattress where your body had been, and a puffed-up area around the indentation where the mattress rose. Once you get up, the mattress takes a little time before it relaxes back to its original shape.
Even the strongest materials (including the Earth’s crust) move, or deform, when enough pressure is applied. So when ice by the megaton settled on parts of the Earth for several thousand years, the ice bore down on the land beneath it, and the land rose up beyond the ice’s perimeterâjust like the mattress did when you lay down on and then got up off of it.
That’s what happened over large portions of the Northern Hemisphere during the last ice age, when ice covered the Midwest and Northeast United States as well as much of Canada. Even though the ice retreated long ago, North America is still rising where the massive layers of ice pushed it down. The U.S. East Coast and Great Lakes regionsâonce on the bulging edges, or forebulge, of those ancient ice layersâare still slowly sinking from forebulge collapse.”
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/glacial-adjustment.html
I suspect this sort of thing explains the amusing case of the Rotten Borough of Dunwich (abolished in the early 1830s). From Wiki:
“In medieval times, when Dunwich was first accorded representation in Parliament, it was a flourishing port and market town about thirty miles (50Â km) from Ipswich. However, by 1670 the sea had encroached upon the town, destroying the port and swallowing up all but a few houses so that nothing was left but a tiny village. The borough had once consisted of eight parishes, but all that was left was part of the parish of All Saints, Dunwich – which by 1831 had a population of 232, and only 44 houses (“and half a church”, as Oldfield recorded in 1816).
In fact, this made Dunwich by no means the smallest of England’s rotten boroughs, but the symbolism of two Members of Parliament representing a constituency that was essentially underwater captured the imagination and made Dunwich one of the most frequently-mentioned examples of the absurdities of the unreformed system.”
Yes and other villages out there under the waves
There’s a lovely fantasy about the old town of Winchelsea near Rye, in Sussex, where it was said that at the lowest of tides, you could hear the old church bells ringing out at sea, somewhere near France presumably…
And Brissles would now all about the Wantsum Channel, which separated Thanet from the mainland, and caused all sorts of mayhem from old blokes trying to get home from the pubs in Broadstairs, with all those Frogs bouncing along on the waves to save time on getting round Margate!
Erosion at Happisburgh is a natural process, global warming or not it will happen.
Of course weird weather events do effect a days events
It’s not on the south coast so I don’t think Glacial bounce back is a huge part.
If a coastal place in the world has cliffs, do you think that it was always like that ??
Cliffs exist cos of erosion
If a beachside is a cliff and not a gentle rise, then that is cos the land on the sea side has already eroded.
If a cliff is hard rock it may have existed for eons
However if a cliff is soft rock like the boulder clay at Happisburgh then something put it there . Maybe dragged in on a glacier
Or maybe like in east Yorkshire it it actually sea bed from when the sea used to be a hundred feet higher
So today’s erosion is merely a reversion to the state from before that high sea level time.
Map of that Norfolk coast showing the sealine was miles different 500 years ago.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlT0FWgWIAM3SSQ?format=jpg&name=small
It does affect the east coast and all southern UK :
“A new map plots the most accurate predictions yet for land uplift and subsidence in the UK.
The map shows that southern Ireland and Wales, and southern and eastern England are continuing to sink, whilst Scotland is rising, at rates less than previously predicted.
The âCoastland Mapâ produced by scientists from Durham University and published in the Journal âGSA Todayâ, charts the post Ice-Age tilt of the UK and Ireland and current relative sea-level changes. According to the map, the sinking effect in the south could add between 10 and 33 per cent to the projected sea-level rises caused by global warming over the next century. ”
https://www.dur.ac.uk/news/newsitem/?itemno=8805
“Northwards in East Anglia, along the Norfolk Coast and the Fenlands, the influence of crustal rebound once again becomes more significant and the maximum sea-levels attained at the glacial maximum are progressively reduced from south to north ”
Click to access 152.pdf
@Z The coastal erosion is not primarily caused by sea level rise
So the 10-33% addition from tilt is not so relevant.
Oh In June PH did a good article about Happisburgh when the Telegraph tried to say the coastal erosion was CLimate Change

“Sea level rise shown to drive coastal erosion
Stephen P. Leatherman, Keqi Zhang, Bruce C. Douglas
First published: 03 June 2011
https://doi.org/10.1029/00EO00034
Abstract
Our research has shown that an important relationship exists between sea level rise and sandy beach erosion. The link is highly multiplicative, with the long-term shoreline retreat rate averaging about 150 times that of sea level rise. For example, a sustained rise of 10 cm in sea level could result in 15 m of shoreline erosion. Such an amount is more than an order of magnitude greater than would be expected from a simple response to sea level rise through inundation of the shoreline.
Sea level is certainly only one of many factors causing long-term beach change. Shoreline revisions from inlet dynamics and coastal engineering projects are more pronounced in most areas of the US. east coast and tend to mask the effect of a rise in sea level even over extended intervals. The implication is that sea level rise is a secondary but inexorable cause of beach erosion in such areas.”

Sea level rise to dramatically speed up erosion of rock coastlines by 2100
by Caroline Brogan
18 November 2022
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/241552/sea-level-rise-dramatically-speed-erosion/
Coastal erosion is the process by which local sea level rise, strong wave action, and coastal flooding wear down or carry away rocks, soils, and/or sands along the coast. All coastlines are affected by storms and other natural events that cause erosion; the combination of storm surge at high tide with additional effects from strong wavesâconditions commonly associated with landfalling tropical stormsâcreates the most damaging conditions. The extent and severity of the problem is worsening with global sea level rise, but it differs in different parts of the country, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
https://toolkit.climate.gov/topics/coastal-flood-risk/coastal-erosion
@Z Despite all those papers , we are talking about cliff erosion at Happisburh
which I believe is not driven by sea level rise
Dec 2018 4 years ago … similar story
The daily Radio4 climate sermon show doesn’t start until Monday
but 12pm now R4 have another 30 min Greenblob advert
about community heating schemes.
I do support genuinely having less waste
however such collective schemes often work out badly in practice
vs individuals taking responsibility.
eg all over the old Soviet block people have community heating schemes , but in practice you see them with their windows open in winter, cos that makes no difference to their heating bills
Money Box : Heating the homes of the future
How innovative projects are changing the way people heat their homes to bring bills down.
– Swaffham Prior village heat network.
– @energy_house2 Salford Uni project : 2 Barrett homes inside a lab to test climate stuff
– Gateshead council warm mine water scheme “for council buildings, local college, The Sage as well as hundreds of homes.
So there we have it.
On the one hand, the BBC attributing East coastal erosion to global warming.
On the other, irrefutable evidence that erosion has been taking place for centuries.
Another classic example of inconvenient facts not being allowed to get in the way of the BBCâs agreed editorial narrative.
I suppose in a weird sort of way the BBC is right, but not for the reasons thay want to propagandise.. It IS about global warming. That is global warming from the last ice age and the attendant natural geological changes.
But man made? Errrr, nope.
Best laugh of the year.
Channel 5 has put the abridged version of Zulu on . This is the one where only whitee gets killed – itâs about 10 minutes long . The message at the start mentioned that no coloured folk were harmed in thr making of the film and that anyone affected by the issues raised can claim compensation âŚ. There is also a help line for the Zulu community âŚ
What about those negatively affected by male Welsh voice choirs ?
There is a special ward in most hospitals now for those overexposed to Scottish poets which will probably be full tonight after midnight.
So the abridged version of Zulu (1964 film) is a 10 minute film showing the crushing defeat of a 1,300-man British column by the Zulu armies at Isandlwana. The next 129 minutes of the film including all Welsh folk have been cut, banned and censored by the authorities.
Richard – spoiler alert – the VCs handed out at the end were apparently done to âtemper â the âdisappointment â of the slaughter of the British column before the Rwarks Drift victory âŚ.
( but hereâs to the chaps who did their duty ) âŚ
There has been plenty of articles in the DT in recent days documenting the astounding degree to which the BBC has become anti British. Something which we on the site had noticed years and years ago. But despite all the hand ringing we all know that nothing will change at the BBC unless and until they are defunded. We also know that none of the current main political parties would ever think or dare to bring the BBC to heel.
The only feasible way to force change in the foul corporation is for there to be a mass refusal to pay the License Fee. This would need well publicised coordination on a national basis. A newspaper like the Telegraph or Mail would be well able to promote such a campaign but once again we know that they donât have the courage to do it. So we are left by trying to bring about the defunding by simple word of mouth and use of social media.
Aiding and abetting a crime………………….

âThis winter the health services will be pressurised as never beforeâ bleats an NHS boss on the webshite. A couple of suggestions for you (1) just get on with the job you are paid to do instead of whining to the BBC and (2) learn the difference between âpressurisedâ and âpressuredâ. I seem to be in a contrary mood today!

STARTS\
As the year turns, one thinks about history. There has been plenty of it in 2022. Queen Elizabeth II died after the longest and most successful reign of any constitutional monarch ever. By the following month (coincidentally), we had had three PMs in six weeks.
Across the world, Covid-19 continued to make people and economies (including its Chinese originators) ill and inflicted unexpected political after-effects. By invading Ukraine, Vladimir Putin caused the death of more than 100,000 people and the displacement of eight million. He threatened global energy supply and the post-1945 world order.
How will these events be seen by history? It may be idle to speculate, but worthwhile to raise a different question â how will that history be told?
This week, History Reclaimed, a group of historians worried by what it sees as ideological hijacking, has brought out a report called âCan we trust the BBC with our history?â.
It takes six case studies of recent BBC programmes â four related to slavery, one about the Irish potato famine in the 1840s and one about the Bengal famine.
In all cases, the main villains the BBC unearthed were white, British and male. Such men imprisoned slaves for trading purposes on Bunce Island, Sierra Leone; they robbed the Kingdom of Benin of its works of art; one of their prime ministers, Robert Peel, refused handouts to the starving Irish; another, Winston Churchill, denied food for the people of Bengal; and so on.
The case of History Reclaimed is not that these episodes are glorious chapters in Our Island Story, but that all the BBC stories were significantly, factually wrong â citing false evidence and/or omitting relevant, accessible evidence that complicates the broadcastersâ morality tale.
Thus, it was never mentioned in the Sierra Leone programme that the âraidersâ who brought African slaves to the British were themselves Africans, who lived by this trade. Nor were viewers told that the Royal Navy became the main suppressor of the slave trade, capturing, between 1808 and 1860, 1,600 slave ships and freeing 150,000 slaves. Again, the BBC did not explain that the British raid on Benin was an expedition to punish a kingdom which traded slaves for the metals which composed their works of art, and massacred an unarmed party of this countryâs envoys and their African bearers.
In the case of the Irish famine, the accusatory TV historian cited a speech Peel made in Parliament before the famine had taken hold as evidence of his callousness when it had actually happened.
History Reclaimed points out that such programmes violate the BBCâs own âpublic purposesâ â especially its commitment to accuracy, impartiality and diversity (âalternative viewpointsâ).
This might matter less if one programmeâs bias balanced anotherâs â a separate documentary exposing African slave traders, say, or a pro-Unionist account of Irish history. But, no, the slant is all one way: the white British are always guilty. The BBC, says History Reclaimed, is âpresenting false history as uncontested factâ.
I need not labour the point the report makes so well. Instead, I want to ask why such programmes â and comparable exercises, online or printed â are now omnipresent.
Their authors will say they are challenging âconventional wisdomâ and overthrowing the self-serving orthodoxies of white male propaganda dished out to generations of school-children.
Where are these orthodoxies taught? It is 50 years since I studied basic history at school, but even in that distant era I do not remember ever being told that the British Empire as a whole was marvellous, and I do recall several occasions on which I was taught that it had been bad.
Mostly what I remember, however, is a strong historical narrative, Anglo-centric certainly, but not cut off from world issues. Its power came not from its ideology, which was mostly vague, but from its chronological coherence. The sequence of time is the framework of all history. What happens afterwards cannot affect what happened before (though it might well change our view of what happened before). So dates really matter: we learnt them, often by heart.
We also learnt a hierarchy of importance. As children tend to prefer, the emphasis was on great events and great people. We learnt more about wars and revolutions, inventions and discoveries, than about domestic customs or the growth of stock markets; more about Nelson or Newton than about Mrs Beeton or J.M.Keynes.
The first thing we learnt was a context of consecutive facts. It was only when we approached adulthood that we started to consider historical arguments more analytically. Our order of priorities was rather like that of a newspaper â exciting and important stories on the front page, comment articles inside for later consideration.
There was then â and, I am pleased to discover, there is still â a history exam, devised chiefly for preparatory schools, called the Townsend Warner Prize. To do well in this, one had to have much disparate knowledge at oneâs 12-year-old fingertips. What was the War of Jenkinsâs Ear? Name the members of the CABAL. Who was the Akond of Swat?
Looking at recent Townsend Warner papers online, I see they preserve the same testing spirit, while rightly including more non-European subjects, and place the same emphasis on facts, economically conveyed. Explain what the following terms mean, says one question â scutage, the Silk Road, the Cinque Ports, palsâ battalions, Doodlebugs. It gives you only half a line for each answer.
Unfortunately, this is untypical of the way history is conveyed in the 21st century. It is not so much that pupils learn bad narratives. It is more that they learn no overall narrative. Woke ideology seeks to fill the vacuum. If you donât know what happened when, you are like a geographer who cannot read a map. You have no sense of where you, your time and your country stand in relation to your subject: you are susceptible to bad guides.
It would be a good thing, in 2023, if the BBC could apply its collective mind to remedying this. Is it too late, for example, to make a television about the history of the crowns and other objects to be worn at the Kingâs Coronation in May? You read a lot about the North/South divide in England. This is historically represented by the division of the Church into two provinces â York and Canterbury. How about a programme which studied how that power struggle played out, using the two cathedrals as illustrations? Newspapers tend to run âOn This Dayâ columns drawn from their cuttings 50 or a hundred years ago. Why doesnât Radio 4 do its version, rather as it does âTweet of the Dayâ about birds?
We are all governed through the House of Commons. Why is there no programme about how it came into being and has developed from Simon de Montfort to Rishi Sunak?
What organisation could be better qualified than the BBC, by Charter and by its UK-wide funding, to tell us about ourselves, and our place in the wider world? What about Normans versus Anglo-Saxons, and both versus Celts? What about Protestants versus Catholics? What about the persecution, expulsion and eventual return of the Jews? What about the story of the British who left for the Americas, Australasia or Africa? And what of the mainly non-white peoples of the Empire and Commonwealth who came to these shores?
Yes, these stories sometimes involve injustice and suffering, but they are so rich and complex that they require not a wagging finger, but an open mind.ENDS
A ‘BBC spokesperson’ replies that their world-class critically acclaimed dramas enjoy huge audiences….’ (possibly confusing the issue here, but let that pass) and that ‘cherry picking a handful of examples…does not constitute analysis.’
Which rather neatly sums up the BBC attitude to any sort of criticism and entrenched ability to wallow in their own specious and juvenile self-satisfaction.
Few things give me more pleasure than the woke being hoist with their own putrid petard.
And when the woke in question is a virtue-signalling luvvie, my cup runneth over, verily.
So it is with immense joy that I share the news that achingly-woke Benedict Cucumberpatch is facing calls for reparations by the Barbados government for his slave-owning ancestors. May they take him to the cleaners.
Mmm, karma – doncha love it?

Seems they have the gore to use emotional blackmail that says

#2 Look over there Twitter is a private playground for Musk, Wiki is impartial
When the truth is
#1 Wiki collects 50 times more than its website costs to run
#2 It was highjacked by libmob groupthink to actually be their own PLAYGROUND
It does stuff like deleting pages about Twitter controversies
#3 It’s really a front that funnels YOUR money towards BLM type causes

As I said earlier – Wikipedia’s lack of transparency over the Connolley (Stoat) business tells you “what you need to know” (Š BBC )
The present regime at Wikipedia cover up the excesses of over zealous editors and once you see the partisan hackery and worse (the editor comment/discussion pages can be absolute cesspits) – the authoritativeness evaporates.
The nut-job Green Party candidate Connolley – on his own tormented 5,428 unique “climate” entries, deleted 500 more and managed to block ca. 2000 other authors. Not that Wales’ people will acknowledge that.
Wikipedia is the goto place for libmob nitwits to smear/pile-on anybody the perceive as a challenge/threat.
Not that I can be arsed to look – but I reckon it’s a fair bet that the entries related to human gender are an absolute shitshow.
The BBC aren’t reporting much of what’s happening in South Africa.
Could it be that the antics of the ANC are indefensible?
Away from the contrived adulation of the anychess there’s a shift in position going on. It is worrying that senior doctors in positions where they can affect policy are resigning in increasing numbers….
The BBC love their self defined Overton window.

Seems the future is Tik Tok and Wimmin’s awards.

Pug – May the Pope Rest in Peace – as a practicing RC I shall be saying a prayer ⌠I knew the BBC would get the paedophile evil in pretty quick . The devil is always there – and those practices and the evil failure to deal with those men is the devilsâ work .
But the death of a Pope shouldnât be linked so casually with the wrongs of the Church but I knew it would come . Letâs get back to worshipping a dead footballer or dress maker âŚ
‘So former Pope Benedict XVI dies and the BBCâs narrative out of the blocks was that he was a âconservativeâ who was against abortion, contraception and gay rights’
So, he WAS a good guy, after all.
Sopesâ high dudgeon explained.
The BBC are giving a lot of coverage to Andrew Tateâs arrest.
They will be delighted, of course, that a right-wing, fiercely anti-woke, anti-feminist, anti-CRT climate denier has got his comeuppance.
One thing they donât seem to mention in any of the reports Iâve seen is that he very recently converted to Islam.
(What a surprise that a violent misogynist should feel perfectly at home in the Religion of Peace!)
For a brief spell, muslims were crowing about this famous âcatchâ. Now they seem to have gone strangely quiet, too.
I gets the feeling that Tate is a mega troll – he’s right in there with anything that’s likely to get more clicks and strengthen the shit magnet he operates.
Wouldn’t put it past him to have orchestrated his own arrest – top tier weirdo.
I wouldn’t rush to try to understand Tate , cos there is a mountain of misinformation all the time, from all sides.
But the Islam thing has been long term
Back in March
… https://twitter.com/ApeAstronautz/status/1523246933745487872
“I donate $20,000 month to Romanian church, but I respect Islam so much.. great things”
Bottomline preventing future sexual assaults is a good thing , and that means prosecuting offenders from the past.
But everyone no matter how sleazy should get due process.
Tate reminds me of David Sullivan who ran (runs?) a fleet of chat line centres operated by his mates which are a predecessor to the online “video chat” model that Tate purportedly runs.
The amount of cash generated was/is enormous.
Sullivan trawled the service via ads in his newspapers and other publications – a big advertising spender who was courted by near all the mid and low market
tabloidstree recyclers.The individual operators on Sullivan’s lines got paid well and most operated from home. I suspect that Tate’s Romanian operation is very similar in architecture – locking girls in cubicles on the apron of Bucharest airport simply doesn’t seem to be necessary.
Tate has been very tricky, devious + relentless in his self promotion. I wondered at his touted conversion to Islam…
It’s easy to imagine that some other party is looking to move in on Tait’s operation.
Police release photo and name of man wanted for sexual assault in London, James Beck.
Meanwhile the one police have apparently named wanted in connection for rape in Telford remains anonymous in the MSM and also on the police website.
Funny that.
No it’s normal they knew his name they arrested him
However they have not charged him yet
#1 They don’t need to trace him .. so no description was released
#2 They don’t name offenders until they are charged
However if they need to protect someone say the victim or a child they might still withhold the name.
Charging must be within 24 hours
36 hours if a Superintendent permits
96 if a magistrate approves
But longer times apply for terrorism.
This from Associated Press and on AOL news still searching for him but name snd photo released:
:
“Police have named a man they are wanting to trace after the sexual assault of an elderly woman at her home in west London.
Officers are searching for James Bex, 35, of no fixed address, in connection with the incident.
The victim, aged in her 70s, was returning home in the area of Ledbury Road, Notting Hill Gate, when she was assaulted between 9-10pm on December 23.”
My post was about the guy in Telford that you said has not been named
“They donât name offenders until they are charged”
Patently wrong as shown above
See below he is “being hunted” BEFORE ARREST
No name or photo was released, or description, unlike the London male:
“Woman is brutally raped near a primary school on Boxing Day as police hunt a named suspect
A woman was raped near St Mary’s Primary School at 10pm on Boxing Day. West Mercia Police are searching for a named suspect after the attack. Anyone with information is being encouraged to reach out to police officers
‘Enquiries are ongoing to locate a named suspect.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11580313/Woman-brutally-raped-near-primary-school-Boxing-Day-police-hunt-named-suspect.html
@Z as a I said They donât name offenders until they are charged NORMALLY
in this Telford case they already had him custody
In a few cases they do name “people of interest” potential offenders or witnesses etc.
You keep saying there is something unusual in this Telford case.
There wasn’t
Except it is strange that there is news of him being charged
The arrest time period is well past now.
“Already in custody” yet they are hunting him
Just give it up will you
I am getting tired of you nitpicking at my posts, and having to provide more and more references to prove what I said RE sea level rises, why inverted racism is just racism, and now this.
If you don’t like what I say please just jog on and fact check someone else.

I cannot understand how anyone in the home office has been rewarded.
This is the most incompetent organisation evahh.
Atlas – I think the honours system gives us a rare view of the corruption of the swamp . There is aâ conceit â that Britain is less corrupt than lesser countries – but as can be seen when the system is stressed (covid ) – friends of the management are readily rewarded with contracts and taxpayers â cash – letâs hope Michelle moan grips the rail this year – although it is extremely unlikely because she might do a lot of political damage .
The rules for politicians – drafted by them – are also an insult to us . Some of the stuff on a recently knighted labour MP proves they have no sense of right or wrong – but make laws controlling our behaviour – Johnson and Cameron and Osborne and may also prove my case âŚ
Dr Campbell has been sound from the start.
The fraudulent mRNA trials were known about from the very beginning. In fact, even the BMJ reported on it two years ago. I should know. I sent copies to all GP surgeries in my area asking them not go along with the injection campaign. I didn’t get any responses.
This is the BMJ analysis from over two years ago.

Why was I aware of this in October 2020 and Campbell was not? Strange no?

Tom Mills doesn’t feature much here, cos he wrote a book saying the BBC is biased against the left
Well the BBC groupthink is very anti-Tory
but it’s not a Labour Party organ, It has its own agendas
eg being anti_Corbyn cos they knew he couldn’t beat the Tories
eg being extremist on lockdown and Global Warming etc. which coincided with Boris policy
Now on Twitter he is praising the dropping of the BBC newspaper reviews
His supporters pile it by saying the newspapers are a Tory agenda and the review never features the Morning Star.
In 2018 he gaslit by saying calling the BBC anti-left was “taboo”
No one called the BBC anti-left cos it wan’t anti-left.
The Third Secret of Fatima & the rise of the Antichrist. Sister Lucy wrote âThe devil has succeeded in bringing in evil under the guise of goodâ. In his book, Frère Michel reports that, when questioned about the Secret, Sister Lucy said: âItâs in the Gospel and in the Apocalypse, read them!â He notes that she then particularly indicated Chapters VIII through XIII of the Apocalypse (Chapter XIII specifically concerns the rise of the Antichrist). In his study of the Third Secret, Frère Michel builds a powerful and compelling case that the Third Secret is a grave warning of apostasy within the Catholic Faith and a serious indictment of those in the Church hierarchy who have promoted dissent and outright heresy. According to the prophecy of “the last Pope,” taken from St. Malachy’s “Prophecy of the Popes,” the last Pope follows Pope Benedict XVI, and will be the false prophet who leads the world’s religious communities into embracing the Antichrist (Bill Gates) . Pope Benedict XVI died on the last day of 2022.
If anyone’s interested in the infiltration of the church by the leftists, the globalists and the ‘progressives’, Taylor Marshall wrote the book. “Infiltration”.

“And in our look back of the year”
a guy saying take Climate seriously “Areas that had floods and heatwaves in 2022 will have them again” this is the new normal
I looked him up “Keith Jones, the National Trustâs Climate Change advisor”
He was all over other media clips saying the same thing ..same headset, same webcam background.
WE had a winter of 53, we had a summer of 1976, they were not the new normal .. you dramaqueen.
And how convenient to forget that the summer of 1977, just one year after the drought, was the coldest and wettest on record at the time.
The weather always balances itself out. We had a dry summer followed by a wet autumn. It was mild too in the autumn but a couple of inches of snow in London and freezing temperatures in Yorkshire for a week show that too has been balanced. Shame the Met Office doesnât understand it too.
Happy new year to everyone who posts on this site, hope FedUp is feeling better, and may we all stay well to hold the BBC to account in 2023.

The Muslim hordes march on!
The progressive westerners bow down thinking they will be allies and mates but they will lose their heads along with all the rest.
The game is domination not assimilation.
The Muslim zealots are indoctrinated and determined and an ethnic religious war is 100% certain to ensue. Which will be a re-run of the crusades but unfortunately lacking enough brave men into the fray as they will mostly be of indeterminate gender and possibly object to attacking any racial group due to their sensitivities.

Do our young women understand what Islam could mean for their future and the future of their daughters? I hope they fully understand. If not, millions of our young people could one day be called upon to fight to the death for the liberation of slaves – sorry – women.
The re-run of the Crusades will be much closer to home unfortunately. It was handy that the original Crusades were fought thousands of miles away as well as providing extended leave for knights in warmer climes.
Happy New Year everyone (although it’s not looking good).
Keep up the good fight.
Did you see the recent university challenge?
As well as most of the questions being about unknown wimmin philosophers and the like they had a picture round where they showed a river and alongside it a picture when there was a bit of a drought.
Obviously they meant to show global warming effects so a full river alongside lots of sandbanks with low water levels gives the impression that the rivers are boiling away and will soon disappear.
I used to get between 15-20 answers before but as itâs now gone woke and Iâm not clued up on black film directors or Japanese wimmin authors etc I now often get below 10

Just watched a tv commercial by Noom, a company set up to sell obscenely overpriced pseudo food designed to make girls thin.
It featured a number of weighty middle aged ladies tempting girls with what can only be described as normal food.
The ad portrayed them as evil bastards trying to get the girls fat by offering delicious food in the name of love.
So in other words donât eat healthy delicious food, donât trust your parents to feed you properly, eat our overpriced crap if you want to be desirable.
Despicable money grubbing rubbish!
The damage this could cause between children and their parents is immense.
Perfectly sums up the twisted sub-human creatures pushing their evil ideology today.
If the advertising standards authority was doing its job this ad should never have been allowed air time.
Update.. Noom donât even sell food, they sell brainwashing software programs to sign up forâŚ. even more sinister.
Correct Digg. It is quasi psychological crap. In the old days you would just be told “stop effing eating so much and do regular exercise”.
Now you join this lot and you will lose something – a lot of your money! Happy New Year all!
