No more words necessary. I wonder how many other multi-billion-pound-per-annum organisations are running the same story.
My guess is none because they have to earn their living.
Two in a row? If so, well done, You’ve got to go for three in a row now. 😉
If the pressure is on and you need a far-Left BBC article quick to cement your position as No.1, you don’t need to worry. There is always one there somewhere. They are relentless.
Far more people are dying then in previous years
UK excess deaths increase
Dr John Campbell
Please read Dr Campbell. Its clear he knows why but is Not allowed to say it.
I might if he was a real doctor, and didn’t mislead people with the nursing teaching theory phd he has.
Tucker Carlson interviews Dr Aseem Malhotra on the corruption of medicine by Big Pharma
Great interview with Dr Aseem thanks NCBBC for posting.
Atlas_Shrugged
It is clear to me that politicians from the PM to Health Secretary, all seem to be missing for what is a very a serious medical emergency. Normally one would see all the above plus the BBC in full cry. But nothing – crickets.
The excess deaths can be from the fact that medical care for other ailments such as cancer were ignored for almost two years. But simple arithmetic indicates that there is something more then that.
Though we have left the EU ( Though in name only), we are still abiding by EU rules. We might get some indication what is going on, if Elon Musk continues holds the fort at Twitter. He is under enormous pressure to censor Covid issues from all sides, specially from the EU.
Thank you Eddy.
What should raise suspicion is when governments and the entire massed ranks of the MSM collaborate to stop any discussion on the subject. This is science and not politics, so why.
Lets see if the curtain can be lifted in America.
“He tried drag for the first time after seeing friends do it and realised it could be a tool to combine his activism and love of the arts. ‘The first few times I didn’t have any agenda […] The more I did drag, the more I performed, I could see how I could use it and how I could enjoy it.'”
Pretty much mirrors how most of the pretend journalists at W1A see their career paths.
TM, what a waste of music kit!
Yes, should be donated to a musician
Not a big complaint really, but on the website: “‘I stopped drinking and never really went back’ — With Dry January under way, more people are choosing to reduce alcohol consumption year round.”
A nothing article, except it’s on the home page and the author claims there’s “a growing number of people embracing a sober or semi-sober lifestyle by significantly reducing their alcohol consumption”. Except there’s no stats, no data on retail trends… nothing except a few vox pops. Which clearly are good enough for the BBC to present as evidence. (If anything, I’d guess the opposite is true, as governments continue to grind the populace down into submission.)
It’s impossible to read legacy media any more without detecting a nudge unit or a dodgily-funded think tank lurking behind the scenes, pushing out the latest scripts.

Al Beeb is enough to drive you to drink
Thought I’d got first… was going to celebrate with a beer. Oh well, shame to waste it now.
TM, being drunk, throwing up, having a hangover; are these not unpleasant? Do not most people have a drink or two and then stop so that they then do not have to endure the unpleasant effects of excessive alcohol intake?
When people who don’t drink, wake up in the morning, that’s the best they are going to feel all day.
It looks like there’s a revolt under way in Brazil…
Given the BBC’s gushing + fawning over Lula – the skewing of the coverage is going to be epic – ain’t it?

Lula’s going to punish them apparently

Twitter says that military police moved in with teargas dropped from helicopters etc.
Not seeing any reports of deaths
I don’t know about other contexts
I always think that crazy stunts are maybe started by infiltrators from the other side.
I’ll have to stop speed reading, I thought they were dropping teenagers from helicopters, that would teach the protesters with the response ” whatever” to their detailed political aims.
Watching the ex prince interview – it feels like the guilt one ( might ) feel when you are slowing down to have a look at a road accident . Bradby doesn’t do the princess Maitliss act but being a ‘pal’ ….
I thought the adverts say as much as anything – pensions – McDonald’s – jet2 holiday hell – sainsburys – centre parks — lots of coloured folk ….
There’s a touch of the confessional about the whole thing but I cannot see any motivation other than mental disorder or money or both ….
I can imagine the royals watching it and getting a neck ache from shaking their heads …
If you’ve a strong stomach – there is more…
Dominos – qatar – magnum ice cream – digital – life insurance- maybellline – a film with T Hanks – hotel chain – ( no adverts for Mercedes )
Got to hand it to the special effects bods – you couldn’t see the strings on Harry ….
Ironically as Harry was pouring poison C4 was showing ‘pulp fiction ‘….
The BBC darling Stuart Hall was presenter of “It’s a Knockout”. He was convicted of multiple offences of paedophilia, rape and assault. Remarkably BBC staff told the later inquiry that they knew that Hall was taking girls as young as 10 into his dressing room for sex. Must have thought it was normal.
‘Bradby doesn’t do the princess Maitliss act but being a ‘pal’ ….’

Stew, we now know what we all suspected; the so-called ‘shy man’ is a liar and fantasist and he has chosen to marry a liar and a fantasist.
Bear with me.
I’ve been watching Call the Midwife. Set in 1968.
The nurses have plenty of time. They saunter around. See a few patients, and have time to help out after hours.
Meanwhile the GP has so few patients they can see someone the moment they walk through the door. Isn’t it nice. The wonderful NHS.
So now we move to NHS expenditure. Courtesy of a parliamentary research briefing. How about this?
Click to access SN00724.pdf
Between 1958 and 2018, sixty years, the NHS had an above inflation money increase in every year except five.
Expenditure in the Call the Midwife year of 1968 was £23 bn at 2018 prices, in 2018 it was over £150 bn. Now it is even more. A six fold real terms increase.
Yet with all these billions, the NHS is the total rats*** that we know it to be. Walking in to see a GP is for the birds.
Question. Where the he** is all that money going, and why is no-one in authority asking on behalf of the people who pay for it.
Maybe the BBC could do a series, Call the Taxpayer. Less fun but a lot more relevant.
Given that gays are 3% of the population, and transgender are less that 0.2%, why does the BBC seek to indoctrinate us with endless LGBTQIAxyz output out of all proportion?

Totally natural that ‘Rodney’ Starmer should be there. After all, he’s a member of the globalist Trilateral Commission, founded by billionaire banker David Rockerfeller. Other past and present members of the Trilateral Commission include Antony Blinken (US secretary of state), Henry Kissinger (mentor of Klaus Schwab), Larry Fink (CEO of Blackrock), Zbigniew Brzezinski (the ideological sponsor of current events in Ukraine), and fun-loving Jeffrey Epstein.
A man is known by the company he keeps, as they say.

BBC news and the latest sob story is the difficulties of small breweries, due to ( choose crisis).
How out of touch can the BBC get?
There has been an explosion of craft breweries in the last decade plus, ever since tax was reduced from micro breweries.
Some will go out of business, it’s called the market economy.
Which of course BBCLabour hates.
Drink more woke ( overpriced ) beer ..sez BBC ….
The UK Brewing Industry developed over many, many years and usually refined their product to perfection.
When “craft” breweries started to spring up it was mainly done by get-rich-quick bearded Hampstead pseudo- hipster types buying some brewing junk off amazon, pumping out what is essentially home brew and wrapping it all up in trendy trendy packaging with “edgy” graphic design.
Being brought up on power-rangers and turtles etc. Our “green” kids lapped this up of course thinking it was a blow against corporate business. Hence they happily slurp the dodgy result out of a sense of supporting “free enterprise”.
They wouldn’t know how to assess a good beer unless it had bananas or fruit in it and certainly would never be able to appreciate a real beer such as Draught Bass, Summer Lightening or Marston’s Pedigree etc.
In fact most of these entrepreneurs would love to be able to build the business to the point where they could reside in the Bahamas and invest their gains in global shares etc. just like the hated big businessmen they scoff at.
And don’t even get me going on the beard and braces clad metal round-speccied gin twats.
Summer lighting oh yes!!,
8pm BBC4 Twelfth Night
Shakespeare’s play are mostly fictional characters set in fictional places
And I guess any actors in any country can play them like a Chine company in China, an African company in Africa etc,
This adaption is at the Globe the replica of Shakespeare’s own theatre, so you’d expect the production to copy that tie
but no it’s some kind of mish mash of modern dress and period
Of the first 7 characters 3 are black women
They have kept Shakespeare’s dialogue but edited down
Sir Toby Belch is played by a black woman
Malvolio is played by a white woman
I see only 2 white males .. and one is using a strong Irish accent (Ciarán O’Brien ?)
Unwatchable – truly unwatchable

And over on itv is Tom Bradby with some news. Apparently.

BH Radio 4 09.00 this morning.
Two guests in who agree Meghan Markle , the Duchess of Sussex suffered racism .
Suffered racism from who ? Not asked by the Beeboid holding the ring .
Or how suffered? Setbacks in her life from …?
And Prince Harry – that’s in real life prince rather than self appointed, like a pop star called Prince or a film like Prince of Thieves —had someone briefing against him .
As in what were the briefings? I’m talking about those like me who don’t follow court circulars . They didn’t know anything about the fellow except he married Meghan Markle .
Until now .
Nibor
In a little snippet of the interview last night, which we caught by chance I must point out, the Prince of Harry himself stated, much to my surprise, that he had not himself made accusations of racism !!! He claimed only unconscious bias.
So if Harry does not think Meghan suffered racism, how come ‘two guests’ do ?
Further proof of the Leftoid woke setup we all recognise this utter guff to be.
9th JANUARY 2024
It has been reported today by Buckingham Palace that the marriage of the couple formerly known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is at an end.
Meghan Markle and the children will remain in the U.S, while Prince Harry, after undergoing intensive therapy at an undisclosed location, is to return to the UK and will settle in isolation at a secret destination under supervised medical care.
Sources close to the couple have indicated that Ms Markle no longer wishes to be associated with someone who continues to be vilified around the world, as she has her own reputation to consider, but to ensure that she and her children are able to maintain a substantial lifestyle with the necessary security, she will be looking to the Royal Family to provide this.
Unsubstantiated reports claim that Elon Musk has been sighted speeding away from the Montecito property.
Any details on the financial settlement?
$100m for Meghan seems like a nice round number
Brissles, if that ever happens and I now have my doubts that it will, having previously thought it likely, I expect it to met from Buckingham Palace by a ‘dignified silence’. Oh, that is apart from ‘an expression of regret’. I think the ‘seriously self-damaged two’ will cling together for ever because they have no other friends and family.

that says UK police forces spend £66,000 on LGBT rainbow cars, shoelaces and flags.

cos police car rainbow resprays cos hundreds for each car
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/01/07/uk-police-forces-spend-66000-lgbt-rainbow-cars-shoelaces-flags
The highest spender was South Wales Police, which racked up £24,000 on rainbow flags, face paints, T-shirts, badges, pens, whistles, wristbands, sporks, trolley keyrings, water bottles and keyrings.
In second place was Kent Police, which forked out £8,000 on rainbow whistles, key rings, wristbands, grip pens, erasers, paper stickers, curvy pens, pencils, coasters, lanyards, trolley coins and ID holders.

The monarchy ?
Some people hate an institution that relies on past glories to justify its existence, that has billions extracted from ordinary folk for its upkeep, that has a means to stifle its critics, that arrogantly overrides concerns about its bias , that lives in a bubble of entitlement and traduces anyone not in its society, that covers up paedophilia and brings in “experts” who change their names after serving time in jail , and threaten those who won’t pay to keep it going .
That’s the BBC of course.
The Monarchy ?
Better than the BBC . More open and honest
I believe the bbc are rebranding “Panorama”.

Re a certain interview on ITV by Tom Bradby:
In the Mail :
“Harry even lambasts a pesky journalist who was interviewing him during a tour of Lesotho and had the temerity to ask him about recent headlines involving girlfriends and drug abuse (doing his job in other words).
‘I could hardly make out the journalist behind the red cloud that suddenly enveloped me,’ he writes. ‘In Lesotho, no matter what you were going through, you were very rich compared to other people.
‘I suddenly felt embarrassed and wondered if the journalist had sense enough to be embarrassed too.’ He was so infuriated by the interview that he then ran off and drowned his sorrows with ‘litres of beer’ and ‘a grocery bag full of weed’.
Perhaps all that ‘weed’ has obscured his recollection of that frightful experience. Who was the ghastly reptile?
Looking back through the archives, I see that it was none other than ITV’s Tom Bradby.”

BBC News
The Brazil correspondent is a work of art in non reporting of their election ‘problems’. It seems possible or likely that the Far Left fraudster elected to the presidency has imported the Obama /. Biden model of election theft .
The beeboid obviously smeared and linked events to President Trump ( without evidence ) and avoided providing any motivation as to why thousands of voters attacked the presidential palace – same method the msm used for the one Washington demo.
We will never know is events were organised by the Brazilian security service in the same was FBI stooges did it in Washington
I wonder when the next election will be stolen using the Obama / Biden method ….
A ‘sneering bbc news presenter’ really does not narrow the fileld.
Rishi new courses on how to avoid tax using non dom status and how to run to the USA on a green card if it all goes shit.
Even better – BBC now putting Elon musk in the frame for the Brazil demonstrations . Up pops the ‘fact checker ‘ girl now delighted that you tube has now declared non approved views in Brazil as ‘misinformation ‘. No mention of the honesty of the actual election but the usual BBC view that a winning ‘far left ‘ candidate is the true winner ……
This is only going to get worse . But on the upside at least when the UK election comes there won’t be a need to fiddle it because the blue labour outfit will be gone …. Rishi with his green card – hunt off to chair a private health company …..

How is citing another, in this case US, social media censorship imposition, in any way ‘fact checking’?

I think Springster is engineering the chair on ‘today ‘ — then it’s the ‘jungle’ or ‘love Ireland ‘and eternal celebrity day shows ….
“Does she present in a sort skirt with Pom poms?”
Nope, that’s just the libtard males at the bbc on dress down Friday.

Black Social History – Afro-british ” Tony Osoba ” Is A Scottish Actor Best Known For His Role As Jim ‘ Jock ‘ Mcclean In The British Sitcom Porridge – Goes Into The ” Hall Of Black Genius

Re maths education: a better understanding of statistics will reveal the many bbc lies and misinformation and the misinformation peddled by much of the MSM.
It is even recommended that doctors improve in this area as they are subject to “statistics” from pharma companies…
See Ben Goldacre, “Bad Science” a very revealing tome:
Ben Goldacre is a doctor, writer, broadcaster and academic who specialises in unpicking dodgy scientific claims from drug companies, newspapers, government reports, PR people and quacks. Bad Science reached Number One in the non-fiction charts, sold over 400,000 copies in the UK alone, and has been translated into 25 languages
“Ben Goldacre’s wise and witty bestseller, shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, lifts the lid on quack doctors, flaky statistics, scaremongering journalists and evil pharmaceutical corporations.
Since 2003 Dr Ben Goldacre has been exposing dodgy medical data in his popular Guardian column. In this eye-opening book he takes on the MMR hoax and misleading cosmetics ads, acupuncture and homeopathy, vitamins and mankind’s vexed relationship with all manner of ‘toxins’. Along the way, the self-confessed ‘Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General’ performs a successful detox on a Barbie doll, sees his dead cat become a certified nutritionist and probes the supposed medical qualifications of ‘Dr’ Gillian McKeith.
Full spleen and satire, Ben Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating and ultimately alarming journey through the bad science we are fed daily by hacks and quacks.”
I would add:
The Lottery = a tax on people who are bad at maths.
Zephir
The medical profession as a whole are regularly caught out by bad arithmetic. There are honourable exceptions.
iirc the top searched book on the topic has an entire chapter devoted to medics.
Sumz seem to be an Achilles heel of the bureaucratic centipede of the NHS as evidenced by John Campbell’s recent coverage of myo and peri carditis at Swindon GWH Trust
I’d argue that maths rather than arithmetic is behind quite a bit of flaky science as its entirely possible to derive a set of equations to simulate something that doesn’t exist – it’s when the real world and politics + ideology arrive on the scene and collide with the modelling that things heat up…
DT headlines of the day
‘Inside swedens’ collapsing housing market ‘
‘Should we be worried about Tom Hanks ?”
Only if he moves to Malmo and pops a frag grenade in the kids’ lunch box.
Sweden used to have a tightly controlled housing market that taxed people making mad resale speculating profits in a rational way – stopping realtors / estate agents from manipulating markets in narrow locales and evening out accommodation prices nationwide.
Don’t know if that’s still the case.
The BBC this morning going large on Harry. I detect they are hedging their bets but generally trying to kinda support his loony behaviour due no-doubt to their knee-jerk built-in hate of the Sovereignty.
This is the biggest opportunity they have ever had to diss the Royals who I am sure they would prefer to be lined up against a wall and despatched a-la Russkie revolution.
So transparent!
From the DT – sex wars at the BBC –
STARTS
Tim Davie is facing a revolt as he is accused of letting the transgender Pride network “police” the BBC.
The BBC director general has been told by staff to “shut down” the corporation’s Pride networks after a co-chair complained he wanted more influence over stories.
Mr Davie has been accused by insiders of “incredible naivety” for letting the BBC Pride and BBC Studios Pride networks expand among hundreds of staff, backing trans activism.
The Telegraph understands that staff have raised concerns directly to his office.
The latest trans row to hit the broadcaster began with a testy exchange between Nathan Wren, BBC Studios Pride’s co-chair, and Malcolm Clark, a science producer, at the World Congress of Science & Factual Producers last month.
Mr Clark claims he complained that the group “policed” BBC output and stifled debate, prompting Mr Wren to reply: “We only intervene, when, say, a trans subject is being covered and then we’ll press to ensure trans voices are being heard.”
Mr Clark said when he pointed out that even unions would not wish to have such editorial influence, Mr Wren replied: “We often ask for changes and they don’t happen.”
Now, the Telegraph can reveal that some staff are calling for a crackdown on the group, accusing it of being “homophobic” by eroding the sanctity of binary, immutable biological sex by promoting self-identified genders, thus undermining same-sex attracted people.
“Many staff are fed up with the way BBC Pride’s influence undermines the BBC’s reputation for impartiality – Tim Davie needs to shut Pride down now before its influence undermines the BBC further,” one BBC insider said.
The growing influence of the BBC Pride networks has been partly blamed as a hangover from the BBC’s long-standing ties with Stonewall, the contentious LGBT charity.
In a report in 2018 on LGBTQ+ culture and progression, the BBC heaped praise on Stonewall and one of ten recommendations was for BBC Pride to be “strengthened”.
The report was part-written by Phil Harrold, the chief of staff to the director-general and chairman, who is also the “executive sponsor of the BBC Pride staff network”.
Such emboldening was evident in June 2021, when leaked minutes of BBC Pride’s board showed they were demanding to “attend commissioning meetings” and play a role in “editorial processes” on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
This escalated in what was reportedly a tense video call between Fran Unsworth, the former director of BBC News, and BBC Pride’s board in November 2021, when the BBC quit Stonewall diversity training.
Members of BBC Pride were “disappointed and frustrated” but Ms Unsworth was said to have told staff “you’ll hear things you don’t personally like… and you have to get used to that”.
Following the latest row over BBC Studios Pride chiefs suggesting they want more influence, a BBC insider said: “Pride believes the rights of transwomen are more important than the rights of women to single-sex spaces and sports.
“BBC senior management have been incredibly naive not to understand the political nature of gender identity activism and the way it’s been tacked onto gay rights.
‘It’s all about trans, not LGB’
“People seem to think Tim is aware of the issue, but every complaint has to go through the Pride sponsor Phil Harrold, because he also runs Tim’s office.”
The insider claimed BBC Sport reporters were told to refer to the transwoman athlete Laurel Hubbard as a woman in the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, as an example of the effects.
A second BBC source said: “It’s intimidating, how much power the Pride group has on trans activist issues and there’s no one to stop them or put the counter case.
“Editors don’t want to do anything to offend internal activists because they’re afraid of the inevitable argument and internal complaints that would follow. Even if they know they made the correct editorial decision. It’s all about trans, not LGB.”
A BBC spokesman said: “BBC Pride is a volunteer-led staff network which aims to support all LGBTQ+ staff. It is not an editorial team, has no role in directing editorial content and like the Telegraph Group’s ‘Out Loud’ LGBTQ+ network, our staff networks help ensure the BBC is an inclusive organisation.
“Editorial decisions about what the BBC broadcasts or publishes are made in accordance with our editorial values and standards, including our commitment to due impartiality.”ENDS
I’m so glad I care less about these perversions – but the thought that these people hold positions on the commissioning of programmes explains a lot …
Hijacking words is a very BBC thing atop a very folk the bbc identify with thing.
Hence many ‘gay’ seemed were clearly out and already pretty miserabilist.
The Trust, wasn’t.
And Pride is something nothing to do with any estimate of their output.

It would seem Khalid Masood (Westminster Attack 22.03.2017 5 Innocents Killed) was on benefits which comes out of National Insurance payments by the workers of the UK. Thus, it would seem prior to these findings the workers in the UK were unknowingly funding terrorism.
But now we know terrorists operate using welfare benefits it would seem we are knowingly paying terrorists.
Can I suggest that the Government please make sure NI payments by UK workers don’t go into the hands of terrorists by removing the terrorists in the first place. Can you also calculate how much we have/are funded terrorism via welfare benefits by simply getting all known terrorists (left,right,islamic) arrested to-date and those on the watch list and check welfare payments made to them or their immediate family (under various names possibly).
Another example is where imams preaching intolerance such as Anjem Choudary (preached hate 1999-2016) to his hundreds of worshippers (5 times a day, everyday), can all imams be checked if they are on welfare benefits, paid by UK workers, and these payments be stopped immediately. It is the community that needs to fund the imams if they want religious teachings, similar to how the Church of England was funded with donations in the past.
. . . .
The father-of-four (Anjem Choudary preaching hate 1999-2016) takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone

“…and don’t you worry. It’s coming to a place near you…we cannot have state subsidized preachers…give it up or give it to your deadliest enemy and pay for the rope that will choke you.“
“for Muslims everywhere to end the occupation of foreign forces”
By relocating themselves to: Iran, Saudi, or Afghanistan?
Does the hate-preacher have to sign the Oath of Allegiance just like all church of England priests have to?
Given the BBC is doing all it can to get a fairer, greener Labour govt in based not on silly stuff like maths, but making decisions on science involving Trillions…
Ed Miliband
In 1989, Miliband gained four A Levels—in Mathematics (A), English (A), Further Mathematics (B) and Physics (B)—and then read Philosophy, Politics and Economicsat Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Justin Rowlatt
Education
Justin Rowlatt was born on June 1966 in London and was educated at Hampstead Comprehensive in Cricklewood, and then at Mansfield College, Oxford University, where he studied Philosophy, politics and economics.
That holding power to account thing… very Oxford in nature.
Seems Ed ditched the Maths for a career where the money is. Justin seems to enjoy travelling the world, Davos, meeting people…

I wonder what the ‘math’ is of the number of swamp dwellers who got a PPE and / or are related to someone else in the swamp …?
Whereas people good at sums ship off to the States to make their bucks in Hedge Funds …

All the Civ.Engs who got firsts ended up in the City.
PPE, especially from Oxford seems how individuals like Pede and Justo progress.
That is not meant in a good way.

Under the watchful eye of Baroness Karren Brady and Claude Littner, the teams must sell and run bespoke tours. After bickering on the beach and some woeful negotiations, back in the boardroom, one candidate is sent packing.”

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – not the Guardian this time?
Not the BBC but they are involved no doubt in misleading journalism. The BBC have managed to omit the Daily Telegraph along with the Metro (again) from the BBC’s The Papers Blog: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-64206354. Instead, I clicked on the link to the DT’s web-site and I find this: “The 80-year-old mountaineer who conquered Everest without oxygen” refering to Peter Habeler’s climb on the famous mountain.
That is rather far from the truth, the Hairy Prince will be pleased to note. Habeler did not ascend Everest without oxygen as an 80 year old. He made the climb in 1978 when he was 36 years of age. Secondly, he had help. Habeler did not climb solo but partnered the even more famous Reinhold Messner who was two years his junior at 34 years of age.
This morning on bbbc radio newcastle they were on about the imminent ‘clean air zone’ which means certain drivers must pay £12:50 to enter the city.
The person being interviewed, some labour person, said that this has been imposed on them by the government.
The interviewer didn’t ask the obvious question of “would a labour government reverse this”
He said that this does not affect private cars or motorcycles but forgot to add ‘yet’ at the end of his reply.
He denied it was a money raising scheme which I reckon over 90% of listeners know that’s exactly what it is.
For balance, they next interviewed a ‘green party’ person.
She said it didn’t go far enough and that every vehicle must pay.
* Disclaimer.
I only have bbbc radio newcastle on in my bedroom (for local news, football ((Sunderland)) and weather) as I wake up, all my other radios are tuned to Boom.
This is a good example where Greenpeace have used a figure ’40K deaths’, but the interviewee says it’s ’40K premature deaths’. But they don’t say that it’s lives cut short – i.e. pollution takes say 30 days off live expectancy.
Andrew Neil vs Greenpeace – Air Pollution (car crash interview)
Take a figure which shows shortened life expectancy (which is hard to determine because obesity etc), total these bits up (days) and convert it into a single person’s life (this is the bad maths bit) then use it in a term ’40K premature deaths’ and then remove the ‘premature’.
So you end up with driving your car to work is killing 40K people a year – think of the children’s lungs @2:18 . Won’t anyone think of the children!

Grooming gangs : Woman’s Hour doesn’t often talk about them
but last Thursday a Guardian journalist tweeted that she would be on promoting her article about Ellie Williams being found guilty for false rape reporting
… https://twitter.com/helenpidd/status/1610923954155425793
They use the name Eleanor Williams as if to differentiate from the Justice for Ellie campaign, initially supported by Maggie Oliver, Rachael Riley and TR.
Then Woman’s hour added its own promo tweets
.. https://twitter.com/BBCWomansHour/status/1610940820986728450
.. https://twitter.com/BBCWomansHour/status/1611029768723472390
Then today they’ve followed up with a change of tone
“we consider the possible impact her conviction could have on how rape is reported, how it’s handled by the police and whether women are believed. ”
They had a discussion with @MaggieOliverUK & @NazirAfzal
The did 2 promo tweets, including
Could the conviction of one young woman for falsely claiming she’d been trafficked by an Asian grooming gang have consequences for rape victims?

Of the 48,000 transwomen, 82* are currently incarcerated as serious sex offenders.
1 in every 585.
* The 82 figure was actually as high as 92 in January 2022. .. 1 in every 522
The same figure for men generally is 1 in every 2500-3000.

Does lefty Twitter still look hatey ?
One thing I’ve noticed is that the eco turds falling from the Twitter sky haven’t abated – I get the feeling that there’s thousands of separate rules applied to separate accounts in a one way tagging process – and that Musk’s peeps can’t be bothered to untangle it all – since it was intended to be untangleable…
Would not be surprised to see Musk precipitate a ground – up re-write of Twitter.
Lefty twerps will continue being lefty twerps = there are sensible lefties but they know better than to offer themselves up to the mobs that roam.

Er, 9 out of 10 Welsh civil servants may still be at home. It doesn’t necessarily follow that they are ‘working’…
On wato
The welsh health minister was explaining how they need more money but didnt want to raise taxes even more . Apparently only a very few people in wales are victims of the highest tax rates so its not worth hitting them again .
But wait – there is also National insurance – so looks like thats going up in wales . NI isnt a tax is it ? Or is it ?

But remember they work for us, well some of the time
Doh that is just a Birmingham newspaper cherrpicking Jess Phillips’ photo to use for clickbait on their story based on a news Tortoise Media/SkyNews database
They do go onto list 2 local Tories who earnt much more than her.
Jess Phillips’ regular media appearances, newspaper columns, speaking engagements and books have helped her rise through the ranks of Parliament’s high earners.
Phillips features in a top 20 of MPs who rake in a ‘second income’ off the back of being an MP, on top of their £84,000 base annual salary. Since December 2019, according to analysis by Sky News and Tortoise Media, the MP for Yardley has earned a private income of £162,838, nearly all from media and writing work.
Yet that pales into comparison with Conservative MPs locally. Top of the earners is Andrew Mitchell, MP for Sutton Coldfield, who earned £657,796 on top of his MP salary in three years.
It is interesting that MP’s earn money, cos of course that could make them biased
However I’m concerned about Labour MP’s giving time to unions and NGOs
#2 The database is out of date
Owen Paterson is listed yet he’s not an MP
eg “Andrew Mitchell, MP for Sutton Coldfield, who earned £657,796 on top of his MP salary in three years”
Just said he had relinquished all outside interests since becoming Secretary of State for International Development. “Since rejoining the Government last year I no longer have any outside interests.”
Sir Geoffrey Cox has always earned a huge amount through his top international barrister assignments.
In addition to salaries (mainly skewed to Tories) there is donations (where Labour get a big chunk)

Stew – watch out ‘Thoughtful’ will be on the ‘we don’t pay politicians enough ‘ gig – as if any amount would satisfy their greed … on all sides …
Intro video
Some of the contexts
“- some earnings are donated to charity,
– some MPs will earn more than others for less work,
– MPs in marginal seats will have to raise more funds for campaigning than those in safe seats.”
Top earner was Theresa May , mostly from speeches at £60-100K each for in person
or £40K for online
“Mrs May has said the money she earns goes into a company called the Office of Theresa May Limited, from which she pays herself a salary of £85,000 a year
The rest of the cash, she says, goes to support her charitable work, though it is not known how much, and to pay for other activities as a former prime minister.”
It is clear that Harry is doing all he can to invoke a response from the Family. Like a cantankerous child, his whole demeanour screams his exasperation that he is unable to draw blood
Any response would only give him both oxygen and more dirt for his book sequel. I think if the Palace are being advised properly they know this and will be guarded.
I would advise them to keep totally silent and give him nothing to use for more ammunition.
The grown up version of being sent to his room when out of control in fact.
Just like a child knowing that a tantrum in the supermarket has the most effect, Harry is using the attention he gets from the media for the same ends.
What a plonker!
If you are curious about what’s happening in Brazil – likely a good move to tune in later:
Something stinks : the BBC are using every trick they have to discredit the protestors without telling a single thing about why they are doing it.
And I see all mainstream media are again simultaneously branding the claims as ‘false claims’ when they cannot possibly know that.
Whatever the truth is, we won’t get it from the BBC or google for this one. A search brings up the BBC first, then The Guardian, then New York Times and then CNN. All way over to the Left.
