The BBC as a publicly funded organisation shouldn’t have an opinion. Simple
Anyone fancy a speepstake on the number of illegal immigrants this year?
The actual number or just the ones we find out about?
Don’t know how many these so-called Border Force boats can carry but there are currently 3 of them in the middle of the Channel, with one RN ship and one French ‘warship’. (marinetraffic.com).
Best go ‘high’ with your sweep entry!
I am not very computer literate . So I am not any good at
downloading video clips. May I suggest the contributors
on this website look on Youtube ” This attitude will get
you arrested .” This is what is happening in the USA under
the Biden administration.
The star of the video is a young lady. Who would be perfect
to play the part of Queen Victoria if the BBC were to
make a historical drama. At the very least she would be a smash
for ” Eastenders”. Or even as a news or
continuity presenter for the BBC.

Antsy sister that shows up when police were at her sister’s house where a stolen Ipad had been traced to.
“On November 8, 2022, police were advised of a theft from a motor vehicle incident in Wausau, WI.
The 911 caller had tracked the location of his backpack to a residence via Apple Airtag after it was stolen from his vehicle.

“This girl’s caring about rights starts and ends with herself, and that’s how criminals think”
Many mentioned that she has obvious mental health issues.
I might have a solution to the illegal immigration problem.
The issue we have is that most of the rubber boats cross where there is very little distance between Britain and France. We can’t tow the boats into French waters, and we can’t simply release them in our waters as Britain is only a few miles away.
The Australian solution was to tow the invading boats to just outside Indonesian waters and release the boat with just enough fuel to get to Indonesia. Australia would be far too much distance. We can’t do the same within the confines of the Channel near Calais.
The solution. We “rescue” the boat and invaders with Navy or Brder Force vessels. Take them SW to an area just outside French waters, in International waters and more than 100 miles from Britain and give them enough fuel to get to Normandy in France but not Britain. The French won’t like it.
I like it but the government won’t go for it, the charidees will moan about it and the channel hoppers will start ringing their yuman rights lawyers.
Mrs Kitty
I have come to the conclusion that our “government” is deliberately allowing the invasion to continue .
I am of the opinion that our “government ” is teaching us a lesson for voting for Brexit.
I am of the opinion that our “government ” takes its orders from the European Union and has been deliberately dragging its feet to get Brexit done .
We have a puppet government that is pulled by foreign strings.
Time to vote for The Reclaim Party as the Tory Party is finished .
What say you readers ?
New Year.
Old BBC.
BBC2 10 pm . A documentary about the first Motown UK tour in 1965. Music I really like. How could the BBC screw this one up?
Suitably feted are one affectedly effeminate-sounding Dave Godin, a big Motown advocate yet also ( strangely not mentioned) a vegan anti-capitalist.
Next up, a self-confessed gay man, given purpose by the music. Got that, a gay man. Did we need to know?
Not to mention various references of black emancipation. Criticism of how few black people there were in the music industry in the early 60s. FFS. How many black people were there in the country as a whole in the early 60s, you thickos?
In other words yet another promising situation contorted and bastardised, and thus wrecked, by the BBC more interested in creating a vehicle for its own minorities woke favoured propaganda.
Happy New Year.
Looking back to the late 60 and 70, I thought there was loads of black people in the music industry. Some of the best music of the era was made by black people. This is just more weird stuff from the BBC who ruin every program with woke and climate propaganda.
If the government is that keen on green issues, why do they insist on housing targets that require local authorities to build on green belt land ?
Welwyn Hatfield:
Homes
The Local Plan aims to deliver the new homes our future generations will need to live and raise their own families in the borough.
“The plan as currently drafted allocates land for around 12,000 new homes, although it is likely this number will increase to 16,000 until 2033, and we are taking steps to find additional sites. We’re planning to use brownfield land wherever we can, but there is not enough to meet future demands for development. Only around 6,500 homes can be delivered on brownfield land, which means we have to release land from the Green Belt. ”
https://one.welhat.gov.uk/article/8546/Local-Plan
But – but – but, Zephir, that means the awful BBC gets nearly a couple of million in the TV tax!
What is there for them to complain about!
Some areas in the south east around London are just concrete jungles with roads that are just car parks stuffed with traffic, over subscribed dentists and doctors surgeries etc.
Yet the Govt insists on stuffing more and more houses there.
But I can drive to Scotland and not see a house for hours on many stretches of the journey in England and of course Scotland.
What about building self sustaining new towns with their own doctors, dentist etc instead of stuffing more and more houses where there is no more room for them and increasing the misery of travelling or finding a doctor or dentist ?
One cannot travel the M25 and arrive at a certain time with any certainty any more, this also applies to other oversubscribed roads.
I avoid the M25 wherever possible, yet I can travel around Norfolk and Suffolk and hardly touch the brake pedal on some journeys.
And maybe compulsorily purchase land from the Duke of Argyll who seems to own so much land and the surprisingly few corporations who seen to own Scotland.
“Climate-savvy millionaires are buying up huge areas of the Scottish Highlands and transforming how it is managed. These “green lairds,” many of them from overseas, are rekindling debates about who owns Scotland’s land and what they’re doing with it.
Amid a fervor for Scottish independence, the rise of the green lairds has revived debates about who owns Scotland’s land and what they’re doing with it. Campaigners say fewer than 500 people own more than half of Scotland’s private land, and many of them are foreigners.
The UK’s largest private landowner is Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen, who owns the global clothing chain Bestseller – and 221,000 acres of Scotland. An additional 100,000 acres belong to Swedish-born sisters Sigrid and Lisbet Rausing, heirs to the Tetra Pak fortune. ”
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/scotland-environment-green-lairds/
“Most Scots, he says, don’t object to foreign landowners, but they dislike the poorly regulated system that allows the sale of such vast areas. There is, Wightman says, “a level of incomprehension that important assets, which impact upon local economies and the environment, should be just sold to the highest bidder – no questions asked.”
Zephir, “What about building self sustaining new towns with their own doctors, dentist etc instead of stuffing more and more houses where there is no more room for them and increasing the misery of travelling or finding a doctor or dentist ?”
That would be the sensible thing to do, wouldn’t it?
But not LAs in the UK. In Kent the Planning Dept of Folkestone’s LA agreed that thousands of houses could be built on Folkestone’s unused race horse track. What do we know about the housebuilding industry? Together with farming it is one of the industries most vulnerable to accidents. Where in the plans was the new hospital? Nowhere to be seen. Where was the GP’s Surgery? Nowhere to be seen. Where were the schools? Public transport? Churches? Community centres? Nowhere to be seen.
Incompetence at the highest levels.
I agree, although I believe it is central govt that impose the housing targets upon LAs with, it seems, little consideration of the capacity within each area.
From time to time I drive along the A43 from Northampton to Stamford on my way to visit relatives.
Practically the whole route is fringed by new housing estates being built with thousands of what I refer to as “orange houses”.
There are numerous new roundabouts, some leading nowhere so put in place for future housing developments.
There cannot possibly be the job market locally to support the massive influx of new people so assume the location is chosen as handy for a commute into London.
Such a short-sighted direction which does little for the local area and simply has the benefits of lining the pockets of multi-millionaire developers, opportunist local farm land owners, raising lots of extra council tax for the local council bigwigs and grinding the rail network to a crawl if that’s possible any more!
P.s. drive the route and you will be in a Le Mans style race with all the local Merc and Audi driving thrusting millennials who are moving in,
I visited Stamford last year, nice little town, and walked to Burghley House.
Of course if we are housing the rubber dingey lot the job market is not so relevant.
Burghley House is likely next on the list of places in which the paddlers will be housed.
There are other issues as well. Flooding.
All that extra run-off overloads the rivers, flooding older properties and towns. A lot of new housing is built on land that floods in any case. The useless Environment Agency rarely raise flooding issues in planning applications even though they are a statutory consultee.
I own a property which now floods due to acres of new development.
I have noticed a marked increase in large puddles and lakes in roads
In front of my house – close to a small river, there were 3 good size fields where I used to train my dogs. When us locals got wind of 3 housing developments we couldn’t believe the stupidity ! the fields were flood plains that were under water every winter/spring. So we all watched with amusement when the earth movers were in and groundings levelled. Of course it was like the little boy putting his finger in the dyke – water was breaking through all over the place. So the developers had to ‘build up’ with concrete and all the properties are now raised up by a couple of feet above the plain. Rats were also a problem to the new house owners as well.
As for the new developments springing up, developers buy up land and can afford sit on it for decades, thus waiting for a time when the local authorities are amenable for more housing, permissions are granted and profit is guaranteed.
Zephir is correct, development appears to be a lot slower north of Stamford. My brother lives just outside Worksop, where huge tracts of brownfield sites can be found – ideal for development, but nothing. My own once small village just north of Stevenage, Herts is now a small town with 8 new housing developments built over the past 10 years. Couple of new schools added, but the doctors surgery ? well, we have invisible doctors only now.
Tunbridge Wells BC seem to roll over at every proposed development, but they can be swayed if one checks the planning registers and word gets around…
Luckily, there are several planning lawyers in the borough, and they can pinpoint the failures of the planning conmitees pretty damned well…
I believe Sevenoaks LA just told the government to get stuffed on quotas, which every borough should do in principle, but with such weak-kneed councillors – often greens but wanting houses for immigrants etc., it’s a difficult battle, and takes ages to get the ‘stupids’ voted out.
As Uppers says earlier, there is never any consideration for the much-needed schools, doctors, etc. We seem to get some sort of result from the Highways, but they are always on the back foot, as roads around T.W. are lamentable anyway!
Developers hate Brownfield land, far too many problems hidden out of sight ready to suck the profits out of the project.
Stamford isn’t safe either .. A “new” estate of 650 homes planned here too.

“Freedom of information requests have revealed that Scotland Yard ordered 7,343 trousers with waistbands of 40in or more in the past year with some up to 56ins..
Greater Manchester Police ordered 837 trousers with 40ins-plus waists while 1,320 large trousers were bought across West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Humberside, figures have revealed.
Devon and Cornwall Police needed 330 pairs, while Avon and Somerset Police put in for 245 including 12 pairs for officers with waists of more than 50ins.
Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley recently said “a big proportion” of his officers were “not properly deployable’” due to health and performance issues. Scotland Yard has revealed that some 3,000 Met officers are not fully deployable due to concerns over mental or physical health or their performance.
“Many of these people, they can’t work shifts, or they can’t work many hours in a day, or they can only have limited contact with the public, maybe because of anxiety-related issues.”

Not really surprising when so many young people have gone through a childhood of sitting at their computer playing games whilst yaffling take-always and snacks and endless cans of coke that they become call handlers in police stations where they sit at computers and yaffle snacks and guzzle coke.
Happy New Year to all! The following item was published on GB News on 30 Dec. I went through the preceding New Year 2023 thread and it seems that it has not been put up yet (apologies for duplicating if someone has already posted it):

“Shows including EastEnders and Virgil are described as being close to propaganda due to their criticism of Brexit, capitalism, the police, government agencies and nuclear deterrent.
The report by the Campaign for Common Sense assessed output of BBC dramas for more than a year.
Following the review, it found the corporation was portraying a version of the country that very few viewers would recognise.”
The Campaign for Common Sense deserves our full support!
Thanks Right Angle.
They are 100% correct re the BBC however that’s the tip of the iceberg. They also need to have a good look at OFCOM and The Advertising Standards Authority who are trying even harder to portray this Country in a manner that few of the population would recognise. While they are at it, they could review the negative effect that the massive bunch of lefty type professors pushing Marxism and inverted Racism to our nations youth are having.
The woke mob are big on apologies, until…
Whoopie, yet again, and of course Clinton…
“Hillary Clinton still owes Tammy Wynette an apology.
The First Lady of Country Music Tammy Wynette is back in the cultural spotlight 24 years after her death, thanks to a new Showtime series about her tumultuous marriage with George Jones, himself a country music king.
It’s an occasion both to appreciate the emotional depth of the vocal stylings of both Wynette and Jones but also to revisit a famous insult leveled at Wynette by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hillary still owes Tammy an apology.
It goes back to the 1992 presidential campaign. As she sought to counter the damage that revelations about an extramarital affair (with Gennifer Flowers) was doing to Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, she contrasted herself with Tammy Wynette. It’s been called the interview that has haunted Clinton and hurt her ever since.
Speaking immediately following the Super Bowl on “60 Minutes,” as the Clintons were struggling to deflect the stories about Bill’s tawdry affairs, Hillary felt it appropriate to defend her husband by denigrating, in a faux Arkansas accent, Wynette’s greatest hit, the 1968 “Stand by Your Man.”
“I’m not sittin’ here some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette. I’m sittin’ here because I love him and I respect him and I honor what he’s been through and what we’ve been through together.”
In referencing Wynette’s greatest hit, Hillary was presumably asserting that she was not standing by Bill, his dalliances notwithstanding, based on some antiquated set of traditional social morals.
Of course, she was doing something far worse. She urged voters to trust in his character only because she had hitched her ambitions to his career and was not about to let his peccadillos derail their marriage of convenience.
The First Lady of Country Music wrote a letter to the future First Lady of the United States.
“With all that is in me I resent your caustic remark…you have offended every woman and man who love that song – several million in number.
“I would like you to appear with me on any forum and stand toe-to-toe with me. I can assure you, in spite of your education, you will find me to be just as bright as yourself.
I will not stand by and allow you or any other person to embarrass, humiliate and degrade me on national television and print without hearing from me.”
Most telling, however, Wynette—whose “tear in every note” artistry has never been matched—showed that she really had Hillary’s number. “I believe you have offended every true country music fan and every person who has ‘made it on their own’ with no one to take them to a White House.”
There lies the deepest irony in the differences between the two women. Clinton may have sworn allegiance to feminism but Wynette had lived it. She married at 17 in Mississippi and lived with her husband in a shack without running water. Later, as a divorced single mother, she had supported her children as a hairdresser in Birmingham. She moved to Nashville with no means of support, lived in a motel, and auditioned without an appointment at the office of producer Billy Sherrill, with whom she would brilliantly collaborate.
Her deprecation of Tammy Wynette explains as well as anything why Hillary Clinton never became president. It foreshadowed her later dismissing half the country as “deplorables.” It revealed a shallow elitism and a disdain for traditional social values. If she really has an interest in helping to heal a culturally divided country, it’s not too late for an apology.”

On Toady this morning the guest presenter was ‘Dame’ Sharon White, CEO of JohnLewis, who I understand is doing a decent job.
So it could have been interesting but she is BAME and she ( or the real editors) decided to play the race card.
Did you know that Dementia is racist?
My white parents, who both died from it, did not. What a pity I could not inform them of this lack of equality.
I’ll say no more about this utterly crass line of enquiry, except to say that some of the alleged racism was down to lifestyle choices. Of which there was no further comment such as making different choices. No, it’s all down to those nasty uncaring whities.
If stupidity were a causative factor in dementia then it would certainly affect these race baiting black activists to a greater degree.
Was the gloriously named Ms. White not once something big in the BBC protection racket?
My recollection of the cruel disease that is dementia is that it is utterly colour blind, so of course the bbc needs to wheel in a reliable gob of colour to correct this.
Speaking of which BBC Pidgin has used the TVl to dispatch a reporter on their Honda 70 to check a ‘could’ based on a ‘reportedly’, using the latest techniques unavailable to medical staff, soon to be assisting in care homes here.

Sadly, no need to scramble Springster and Unit for a HALO drop as by all accounts it was not close and no cigars. In fact, around four.
Hopefully their estimating of meds is not in German.
Also on Racism Today, something about improving opportunities to see dancing and ballet in East London, in order to provide more ‘inclusivity’.
Not mentioned was Tower Hamlets where the the majority Bangladeshi and minority white British population there just might just be a relevant issue.
Just four months early. Superb April Fools piece.
She says she has four fathers, I bet none of them lived at home.
I don’t know the percentage of black/brown ballet female dancers, but its not high. I wonder if its a genetic ‘thing’. Many black women are flat footed and can struggle to wear high heels. Others can be quite bow legged, not conducive to ballet dance. I’ve often wondered why Meghan is always ‘hanging’ on to Harry in public, but just watch her walking in her high heels, she certainly isn’t steady on her very Bambi like legs.
Why do they need ‘opportunities’, they can get tickets like the rest of us can’t they?

Prog graphic
Getty Doodles.
Perhaps it makes one’s’ teeth whiter …
I went to Twitter incognito mode, so that I could see all the tweets about the prog, including those from lefties who use blocklists.
The main thing was there were hardly any tweets about the prog
maybe 20 max
In the old days Countryfile would get 10 to 20 tweets per minute
There’d be thousands.
Now it’s like no one listens to BBC agenda pushing progs.
those 20 tweets were mostly from naive greens
The mindset There are no negatives to our policies
there are no positives to other ways,
we are fighting the Nazis’ etc.
The BBC and its bedfellows, the Greens.
We’re screwed.
The bigger the lie the more likely it is to be believed
Or to more accurately quote Goebbels:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
Hockey stick PR graph from greens
It promotes a number of fallacies
eg the idea that numbers climb ever upward
Nope it’s just a cherrypick from limited time
In the long run numbers plateau, they fall, maybe rise again etc.
Just heard on the BBC News channel.
They were supposed to be reporting on Pele’s last movements of his coffin, “Pele was black and he lived in the highly racist country Brazil”.
The BBC cannot help themselves.
A propos of nothing.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo black?
He seems to have a darker skin tone than Meghan.
Yet I don’t ever remember him playing the race card.
Diminishing numbers going about our business of late – but more demand for the NHS edition
‘…dying at an accelerated rate’ (Times) – it bleeds, so it leads – nope, this isn’t hopeful NHS A&E customers dropping like flies as they wait frustrated in extended queues – the like of which we haven’t seen since those halcyon days of retail when hundreds would be pictured outside Harrods eager for the opening of the January sales.
More of this top media story later – which is of course: Some A&Es in complete state of crisis, warn health chiefs (BBC)
‘Dying at an accelerated rate’ is in fact doom cult Extinction Rebellion (XR)’s take on the present state of our planet. As reported in the Times: Extinction Rebellion gives up on protests – which is sort of logical if you truly believe we’re all doomed anyway.
These annoying middle class hobby protesters will, no doubt, find another cause and other avenues (to stick themselves to?) and by which to grab headlines: actists have pledged to leave the locks and glue at home and temporarily stop using public disruption as a protest tool (Times)
Thanks for that XR, our lives are disrupted enough as it is – with dimishing numbers of us able – or perhaps willing – to go about our business, so to speak: Unions prepare double walkout for week of travel chaos (Daily Mail); Rail strikes put return to work on buffers (Telegraph)
Mr AsI considers the latter headline and concludes we’re still yet suffering the long hangover from the worker demoralisation that was Lockdown.
This report from the Telegraph tends to underline this line of thinking: Taxpayers foot bill for Wales’ ‘ghost offices’… nine in ten of its civil servants work from home… a freedom of information request has found
“Very little has changed… emissions continue to rise” (Times) – that’s Extinction Rebellion telling us they now plan to halt what they term civil disruption and instead focus their efforts on work to: “disrupt the abuse of power and imbalance” – whatever on earth that means?
Of course considering the actual origins of all these extra ’emissions’ we’d like to see them glue themselves to the Great Wall of China or throw soup over the Taj Mahal
Meanwhile our media, led by the BBC, have decreed today as a day of NHS national fretting…
According to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) – which monitors standards of care in UK A&E departments – the NHS is facing the worst winter for A&E waits on record (BBC) – Guiness Book of Records must be on speed dial over there at the BBC…
The Ghanaian giant reported to be the world’s tallest man… When I heard rumours of a new contender for the world’s tallest man in northern Ghana, I set out to find out if it was true. The only problem? Measuring him… A local hospital in northern Ghana told 29-year-old Sulemana Abdul Samed during one of his recent check-ups that he had reached the height of 9 ft 6in. This would make him the tallest man in the world, but there was a catch – the rural clinic could not be sure of his height because it did not have the correct measuring tools. (By Favour Nunoo, BBC) – if only there were such a thing as a tape measure.
The print press concentrate on the body count – our BBC liking the Labour-supporting Daily Mirror for their top online press review frontpage screamer pick: 500 deaths a week due to NHS crisis
The Labour Party-curious Times out-tabloids the tabloid red top: A&E delays ‘killing up to 500 patients every week’
The Ukraine war supporting Daily Express dispenses with quote marks and blandly complains of: 500 patients dying a week due to delays – no weekly death toll due to the delay and absence of peace talks prolonging the pointlessly bogged down armed struggle against Russia in eastern Europe is given… 500… 1,000…?
Here’s a question for media editors – how to picture A&E delays?
Given that news demands pictures and that photography inside our public hospitals is a bit of a no-no. No one wants to see pixelated faces. Worse yet droves of obviously non-white putative patients with speculatively doubtful National Insurance records clogging up the system. Media prefers them otherwise employed as bank loan applicants and sofa purchasers.
The answer to this awkward pictorial conundrum is of course our now ubiquitous bright lime green Californian wailing sirened fleet of ambulances – illustrative and now indeed emblematic of NHS pressure and delay
The left-leaning ‘i’ gives the story that is the NHS whirligig a further political spin: Tory voters blame the Government for NHS crisis, poll says – something of a tautology involved there, saying of the same thing twice over in different words (as I just did for illustrative purposes) given the NHS is State run, of course the government is resposible for its shit state.
The market for healthcare – as for other commodities – is determined by two factors – supply and demand.
Demand goes up, supply has to respond – or else price must increase so as to quell that demand somewhat where supply is fixed. Take price out of the equation – our NHS is free at the point of access – so rationing by queing is the absolutely inevitable result.
GPs can fend the crowds away. You have to be registered at their surgery and negotiate with Karen on reception in person or perhaps put up with an awful lot of Vivaldi over the phone.
If you’re one of millions of supposedly just visting over-stayers, for instance, you take route one and simply pop along to the local A&E. There may be a long wait and medical care may be somewhat perfunctory… but it’s free and probably better than you get back at home… at least they’ll have a tape measure – so to speak.
RE XR:
““disrupt the abuse of power and imbalance” – whatever on earth that means?”
Do they mean the minority (themselves) dictating to the majority (the rest of the country) ?
That’s what’s happening re LTNs and 15 min Cities zoning
There’s a big protest in Haringey soon
cos the Labour council leaders are imposing them despite negative consultations.
Being 2023 I think it’s time for new thinking . We assume that it we are injured or sick we will get help – an ambulance . This is wrong think . If the hospitals are overwhelmed – let’s stop people going there. So end the 999 system – it would save money which could be used for paying the nurses their 19% pay award – in fact – come on – give them 25% and cut their hours – no weekends or nights .
Also – hospitals – there are clearly too many – cut the number . This would reduce the number of people using the NHS ( flatten the curve ) and cut staff- hence being able to pay doctors and nurses the rate they deserve . Remaining ex hospitals could then be used for ‘new arrivals ‘ “All Welcome “ could be posted as channel ports.
There would be a need for more managers at the remaining dozen or so hospitals in the country – all based in important places like Westminster and Islington – in order to improve efficiency .
Reducing hospital numbers means the number of ambulances can be reduced and gimmicks like ‘air ambulances ‘ can be ended . This might be tricky because C5 might have trouble getting more documentary footage .
The cancer ward needs closing

I think it worth drawing your attention to the gist of two articles which have appeared in the Spectator in the past few days. The authors are Joel Kotkin on the beginnings of a new world order which he terms Neo Feudalism and Sam Gregg on the dangers to democracy of The WEF.
The titles sum up the content pretty well but the most significant thing is that both should appear within a couple of days of each other in the Spectator. Does this mean that a significant heavyweight mainstream political magazine has finally worked up the courage to start to spill the beans on the long term plan that the WEF and it powerful supporters have in store for us?
I reckon that as recently as a couple of years ago any criticism of the WEF was regarded as being a nutty conspiracy theory. Has the democratic right finally woken up the threat of the WEF?
I also note that there has been trenchant criticism of the extreme bias of thenBBC in the Telegraph and Spectator in recent days . Again is the centre right finally beginning to push back ? Long over due , possibly too little too late, but nonetheless welcome.
Yes the Spectator is in the same circuit as WEF types
Andrew Neil is the boss.
Whereas Spiked has always been anti-establishment folk
… apart from joining in with their anti-Trump fanaticism.
£2 bus fares? What’s that all about?
It looks like typical Metropolitan thinking to me. The people that think up these daft schemes obviously live in Urban areas with regular bus services rather than rural situations where bus services are non existent or unusably infrequent.
So more of my tax monies are splashed out on spending that I cannot benefit from.

This would seem to be the main topic for 2023 but how many remember that it was the ‘Eternal Schoolboy’ Tom Bradby who opened the door for this poisonous pair?
The major problem for the UK is that it allows the all-too apparent weakness of our new King to impinge on the status of the monarchy. For him to put family before people and PR before realm shows a stultifying level of immaturity and self-indulgence – not the marks of a monarch by any accepted standards. But then, he has allowed a 38D bra to influence his decision making for the past several decades.

As expected.
Glad I stopped watching it years ago. It has become dumbed down over the years I suppose reflecting the general decline in education standards. With that arse Rajan now there it will be more like “woke anti-racist,BLM supporting kindergarten challenge”
They just can’t help themselves and I’m sure there in a measure of spite-at-the-right thrown in when they make these decisions.
I’ve continued to watch Shetland and as expected, it’s distilled down to a group of about 8 people and the 2 black men seen briefly in the first episode are now the two main characters aside from the regular cast – along with a black woman who appeared from nowhere.
The first who was the most unlikely photographer was indeed arrested by the racist whitey but get this – it turns out he is an undercover DI !!!. He then proceeds to take charge and reads his lines like a schoolboy reading a book to the class. And I suspect that if you want someone undercover to blend in to the background on the Shetland Isles, you wouldn’t send somebody black. Clearly there are very few black, Scottish actors to choose from.
The second (the ‘artist’ who is also in a mixed race relationship) turns out to have been falsely convicted of murder in the USA purely because someone gave him a stolen watch for the ‘$10 bags of weed he sold to make ends meet’ then called the police to frame him. On that evidence alone he was convicted of murder and put on the FBI’s most wanted list. Not sure how he escaped.
Breathtaking stuff. The BBC kidults must have wet their panties when they came up with this script. I have to stop myself from laughing out loud at how obvious and childish it all is.
One more episode to go then Perez quits and so do I.
I haven’t read the Shetland book series by Anne Cleeves, but I wonder if the characters are designated their origins by the author, or if it is the BBC who are on form for this. I saw those episodes and I agree, it was laughably ludicrous.
I see they also got rid of his very dark skinned Indian woman boss who barely got a line because she was entirely unconvincing and replaced her with his earlier white woman boss who is immediately barking our orders and advice despite not being involved for the first 5 episodes.
I can’t begin to imagine how bad the next series will be when they go full on to squeeze as much agenda as they can onto the audience before it dies completely.
I think I might track down the first book and see what they are like.
JohnC and Brissles, now you know why I gave up television viewing and the TV licence.
My year had to study a book called ‘The Shetland Bus’, by David Howarth for ‘O’ Level in 1964.
Don’t remember any mention of tinted sailors, but there were plenty of brave Scandinavians and Scots…
“BBC news, sport and current affairs programmes have repeatedly breached guidelines on impartiality despite promises from the corporation’s boss to stamp out bias, a Telegraph analysis has found …”
Then how about Tim Davie is sacked? To encourage the others.
How about OFCOM are ripped to pieces for their complete failure to check the BBC’s bias – especially over Brexit.
They have their 5th annual report on the BBC here:
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/information-for-industry/bbc-operating-framework/performance/bbc-annual-report/ofcoms-fifth-annual-report-on-the-bbc-interactive-performace-report
What and absolute joke it is. Its all written in exactly the same style as BBC articles – I would not be at all surprised if the BBC wrote it themselves and gave it to OFCOM. Nowhere do they address the main concerns everybody has : their far-Left bias and racist /sexist discrimination across their entire output.
Luckily, over here institutions like OFCOM take rigorous impartiality seriously.
Not the BBC but the MP for Kyiv has written a piece in the DT saying the Russians are brutes . The MP for Kyiv used to be the MP for Chingford – then he became the MP for chinese Muslims – now it’s Ukraine. Good for you IDS – but don’t expect my vote in 18 months time if you are playing the ‘statesman ‘ on the ‘global stage ‘.. but maybe it’s just exploring new job opportunities once the ermine is fitted …
Retail: Last year saw a big jump in the number of shops closing
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64138898
This article is of interest because of the comments and the up/down votes. It’s like I have mentioned before:
When it’s a political agenda item, the anti-Brexit/anti-Tory voting goes through the roof – in a ratio of about 10:1 in favour of the BBC agenda.
But in articles like this, we have the usual whining Leftists making bitter and spiteful comments – but the ratio here is about 2:1 against the BBC agenda.
It’s highly suspicious. It’s like a message goes out to activists to come and vote for certain topics. Or the BBC have a way to manipulate it – because they certainly would if they could.
This lady is good value.
Not least for resurrecting another idiot middle aged peroxide victim, no longer at Mastadon it seems.
When Marianna Didn’t Meet Richard
Seems like Mastodon is just their kind of place.
It sounded like people were smearing saying that Mastodon school over there is full of pedos, go there and you will be among pedos”
The article is more convincing than I expected.
It seems Mastodon is like a Facebook with a lot of private groups that no one can find and a lot are Japanese pedo groups
You sign up and you have to find what groups your friends are in . They send you an email etc. You join their groups
and you are MOT among pedos .
But the Japanese pedo community do know about their own groups
Unlike on Facebook their is no owner to shut down the pedo groups. But people who make search tools decided to make them exclude the pedo groups,. So actually you never find them so you never see them.

An essential truism of Tory policy is that if public expenditure is to be controlled, and yet our ‘world class’ NHS is to be ‘saved’ (I.E have yet more billions spent on it) then there is less money for everything else. And I do mean everything.
I was reminded of this today as I drove into yet another pot hole on our third world roads. The road from Chennai to Madurai in southern India has fewer potholes than my local town. I know. I’ve driven along both.
So weirdly what we have is a strange unwritten, unstated, alliance of convenience between the eco-extremists (‘roads are evil’) and our blue socialist government (save money on everything else to fund the NHS). Both result in little or no road building or maintenance.
Definitely one for BBC ‘investigative journalists’ to pursue.
It won’t happen of course. The BBC are part of the same conspiracy.
The phrases used by the blue Labour Party to try to fool the public –

The NHS, all the medical unions aided and abetted by the BBC and Guardian are desperately trying to shift the blame for the appalling state of the gargantuan monster that the UK health service has become onto the Conservative Government despite the fact that they have never been so lavishly funded.
This is no more than a concerted left wing attack and it’s being done at a despicabke cost in human lives and misery.

Straight away we have ‘reported’ in there – and every time a BBC report seems a little odd, there’s always a reason.
In this case, someone went to check and it turns out he is 7ft 4in. Nearly a foot shorter than someone in Turkey. So it’s a complete non-story.
Then it degenerates into lengthy empathy piece about a poor black muslim African for the front page which is what it was really all about.
‘He would love to get married and have children one day but wants to first concentrate on sorting out his health.’
Absolutely typical of the drivel the ‘modern’ BBC churns out as news.

Early in the day social media was busy with a list of blue labour politicians who were designated ‘sex pests ‘. The list had been published last night be a female ? Red labour MP who took it down rather quickly . I guess she’d sobered up from a bottle of red or two
Anyway there were plenty of screen grabs around . I saw one – it was an eclectic mix ranging from the minister for the third world ( Andy pleb Mitchell, ) to – for some reason – lizzy truss …
As anyone reading me here knows – I have the lowest opinion of the swamp and deny the value to the current far left parliament …. So seeing politicians popping each other brings a warmth …. One for bercow or whatever his name is when the new term begins …
Probably broke it on Mastadon.
If I gave a thought to it the royal thing would puzzle me – for someone who has hated the media since it / the British state killed his mother – his willingness to use it to wage war on his former – sort of – family seems bizarre .
But I suppose he / they see a need for private income before they go stale and have to resort to the after dinner circuit and opening things ….
At least it will distract people during the year of his step fathers’ crowning … yawn …

BBC minimises whiteMen
There is a review in the DM of a new podcast about history (“The Rest Is History”) that’s breaking all records and topping all the charts.
The entire article is a good read, but of particular interest to readers here is what it says about the BBC and wokeism in general.
Basically it’s suggesting that people are fed up with the sort of politically correct rubbish the beeb churn out – including the yoof audience they’re obsessed with.
Below I’ve extracted those paragraphs that are particularly relevant.
“DOMINIC SANDBROOK: There’s no way the BBC would commission it, but our history podcast is the most popular in almost every country on earth!
I’d done my fair share of BBC documentaries, but I’d had enough of being bossed around by commissioners and channel controllers, of being told that I couldn’t say this or that, or that I must include a section about such-and-such.
…as critics have pointed out, the BBC seem to have lost interest in producing serious, measured, intelligent programmes.
There’s no way our podcast, presented by two white Oxbridge-educated middle-aged men, would be commissioned by the BBC these days. Instead of just letting us talk, they would bring in some alleged comedian to make it ‘accessible’ to younger audiences.
And not a single week would pass without the appearance of some ultra-woke U.S. academic to lecture us about slavery or to flagellate us about the imagined sins of the British Empire.
The great irony is that while the average age of Radio 4 listeners is 56, more than half of our listeners are under 34. So if the BBC want to know what’s happened to its younger audience, the answer is that they have signed up to The Rest Is History.
Young listeners are no different from older ones. You don’t need to patronise them and you shouldn’t inflict your idea of comedy on them. There’s no need for gurning and gibbering. They just want you to crack on with the story.
It shows there’s still an enormous audience for people chatting about history in an enthusiastic and knowledgeable way, without any hint of jargon or apology.
Nor do we do go in for moaning and groaning about the supposed misdeeds of history.
And at a time when many schoolchildren study history for just 40 minutes a week, it’s vital to remind them that there’s more to the past than the fashionable obsessions of the U.S. civil rights movement or the Atlantic slave trade.”

Senegal MPs jailed for kicking pregnant colleague Amy Ndiaye
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-64144616
‘The male lawmakers attacked Amy Ndiaye after she criticised an opposition religious figure.’
The BBC think this video illustrates just how badly men treat women.
But to me it shows the extreme intolerance and violent nature of the African Muslims the BBC spend so much of our money promoting and defending for their globalist agenda.
The irony of that article is lost on them.
Importing this culture on the scale we are doing is absolute madness.
No mention of islam as a factor in the violence, or the underlying savagery of the continent.
It’s just them ‘men’ again, grrr…
I wonder if we’ll ever hear what the motive was ?
I wonder if it will be classed as a racist hate crime and if we’ll all be taking the knee for whitie for a change?
