Terry Wogan returns, via Ouija Board.
Too tempting to riff on that …

Pretty clear why the Dems won’t release the tapes…
This is on Pelosi, McConnel, Biden etc.

will the BBC report?
OK it’s another one hour plus video, but I do urge you to watch it because the implications financial to the West are pretty grave, Putin has more power than you might imagine over financial markets, and there is a predicition here the dollar could fall by 50% in value.
Meanwhile the US could be headed for another debt default unless congress agrees to kick the can down the road as Bidens reckless spending has meant the debt ceiling has been reached in just 12 months ! They run out of money on Thursday according to Janet Yellen.
Fiat currencies were invented so the government could print money to pay for their corruption and bribery. It also has the advantage that it devalues your hard earned savings, so you have to rely on the crooks who whole from your savings.
We are in a terrible bind. The West deliberately said NO to the cheap oil and gas from Russia. Did it hurt Russia- Not one bit. They are getting richer. Its we who have been hit. Did they know this would happen? Of course they did. Its to implement Climate Change Davos UN Agenda.
See they gather in Davos getting off their private jets.
Global Warming/Climate Change. The only people who believe it are easily fooled brainwashed children. The others have an agenda to control. BBC is tops in this.

Greta Thunberg detained at coal mine protest
Activists have been trying to stop an abandoned village in western Germany being demolished so that a coal mine can be expanded. Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was among those involved, and she, like others, was briefly detained by police in Lützerath after a group “rushed towards the ledge” of the Garzweiler 2 mine. She wasn’t arrested, and officers said all of those who were detained wouldn’t face charges. They have been arguing that burning coal undermines Germany’s efforts to reduce emissions. But the government said it needs to expand the mine to keep up with energy demand due to issues with Russian supplies. Police have moved activists off the site, but you can watch a video from the scene, which shows three officers carrying away the smiling Swedish activist, Ms Thunberg.

Variety (Anything But): Guillermo del Toro on ‘Pinocchio’s’ Dark Side, Death and Why Kids Today Are More Like Greta Thunberg
Well, Guz, it is likely because of the juvenile human dross served up to kids today by the media.
The arrest was a put-up job. Just like the police here in the UK, the EU police have been brainwashed into the Climate Change narrative. The same was done to them about Islam. The UK police swallowed the “Islam means peace” narrative.
New techniques of coal fired power stations is the best economical way to produce electricity. Other ways are more expensive and impact the economy, leading to a poorer populace.

He also says he says against him they use fabricated screenshots which make out he’s a literal Nazi ..all based on a Hatey not Hopey report.. that he describes as completely flawed and dishonest.
Some of the lines from his post https://petersweden.substack.com/p/debunking-the-lies-imanuelsen
A new hit piece against myself has just dropped from a very influential think tank funded by among others George Soros’ foundation. and Bill Gates’ foundation. It is called “Institute for Strategic Dialogue” (ISD for short).
This is a report that is made to try and bring about MORE censorship regarding so called “climate change disinformation”, pressuring Big Tech to implement even more censorship of people that have dissident views… Also on their list are well known people like John Stossel and Michael Shellenberger, listing us as “super spreaders”
.. They are acting like pure Communists attempting to shut down people that they dislike.
Funnily enough, in their report they claim that me comparing climate change fanaticism to Communism, is actually a “dog-whistle to antisemitic tropes
… I have NEVER denied the Holocaust and anyone claiming that I have, are nothing but LIARS.
I believe, and have always believed, that the Holocaust happened and was a horrible atrocity that must never be allowed to happen again.
The main source they use against me is the British far-left extremist group “Hope Not Hate”.
They wrote a hit piece against me many years ago containing nothing but lies and libel.
They even claimed I was “British” which is laughable
.. They published my address, a family dog was then poisoned
.
This new report contains a line
: “those opposed to climate action are increasingly in dialogue with extremist an conspiracist groups“

The EON production company who makes and own the James Bond films, tend to put out teasers that a BAME will be the next 007 – who normally are contracted to do 3+ films in the franchise, (and the media insanely talk about a woman in the role ) but in reality its a huge gamble for them to do so. It might be the ultimate in wokeness, but there are millions at stake worldwide, and do they want to risk audiences staying away possibly for years to come while the BAME is saying ‘the name’s Bond, James Bond’.

From : NZW Net Zero Watch
London, 17 January 2023 – After the much lauded battery start-up Britishvolt collapsed into administration, Net Zero Watch has reiterated its warning that the Government’s policy of green interventionism and Net Zero dogmatism is a recipe for economic and political disaster.
Described as a ‘gigafactory’, the collapsed EV battery factory was meant to be a symbol of levelling-up and would show how a green “planned economy” could herald an industrial renaissance.
The then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, claimed last year that “Britishvolt’s plan to build a new gigafactory in Northumberland [was] a strong testament to the UK’s place at the helm of the global green industrial revolution.”
Those plans are now in utter disarray.

Video: BBC Studio Windows Covered In Stickers Symbolizing Deaths Caused By COVID Jabs
A banner hanging in front of the building also says, “BBC is the Virus!”
The BBC – along with the rest of the legacy media – has been toeing the official government narrative to scare the public about COVID since the very beginning of the pandemic, refusing to cover anything that deviates from the script and demonizing anybody who challenged the lockdowns, vaccines, or official story about the virus’ origins.
Both my Parents died shortly after their mRNA Jab, as did Prince Philip.
Hello Richard
Reminds me of the film 28 days later where the living are trying to find their relatives and post pictures and info 🙁
Starmer in parliament winging on right now about long ambulance delays leading to the death of heart attack sufferers.
He makes not one mention of the possible involvement of the mRNA injections as a possible reason for the heart attack in the first place.
Starmer irresponsibly voted for all of these mad mandates against all medical good practice.
Bridgen appears to be the only one in this rotten house with any principles. Bridgen just wants the jabs suspended pending an investigation.
https://unherd.com/2023/01/why-would-anyone-envy-the-nhs/?
There is a massive scandal now with propaganda from political parties (all) and censorship in complement by the media (most).
The NHS has not been the envy of the world for a very long time and pretending it is by the above establishment bodies (all) has created the monster that exists now, is failing downwards in a death spiral and will continue to do so.
Watching Starmer, Rayner or pot banging nutter Corbyn still use the NHS selectively as a naked power grab with the support of the lefty media is sickening, when they have no better clue, are worse money manger and even greater hypocrites.
Just like the joke that is the BBC.

“Over 50? Sorry pop pickers, Radio 2 doesn’t want old gits like you and me. Radio 2 turning its back on millions of loyal listeners, that the following day I’d discover Ken, Britain’s most popular DJ, was leaving, despite record audience figures.
After I wrote about the shafting of Steve Wright In The Afternoon last summer, I was told by a BBC insider that Ken had been informed this would be his last contract, too.
No doubt the station’s newish controller Helen Thomas has already lined up a shrieking 30-something dolly bird or metrosexual Radio 1 type to take over his lunchtime Daily Mail-style magazine programme.
For the past few months, Thomas has been turning the screw on Ken Bruce, filling his familiar, grown-up playlist with puerile teenybopper dross.
if you’re a licence payer and happen to be over 50. Sorry, pop pickers, but you’re (we’re) simply not wanted on voyage any more. The real scandal is that the BBC, which is publicly funded by a compulsory poll tax, has given baby boomers like us nowhere else to go.
There’s no Radio 2-and-a-half, playing the soundtrack of our lives any more — from The Beatles and Stones to Sinatra and Springsteen. They’re obsessed with yoof, spiky-haired striplings who would not dream of buying a TV licence and get everything through pod wotsits and Tik-thingys.
The Beeb no longer gives a monkey’s about so-called ‘public service’ broadcasting.”

Zephir,
Try Boom radio.
It’s on the digital band of the radio, just retune and it appears.
It’s excellent for the likes of us oldies.
BOOM is excellent. Very little ‘chat’ and lots of listenable music.
Being sec of our local jazz club, I find that jazz fm and classic fm can cater for ‘alternative’ tastes.
Must try that, Brissles!
Here’s a special treat for you!
Hi Emmanuel
Les Ross is great on Boom Radio, ex presenter from BRMB radio back in the day
He was a loony then and nothing has changed. I love Boom, been listening for around a year.

Sometimes I wonder why the BBC excludes certain stories . Today the newspapers are reporting the suicide of a met plod Chief Inspector prior to his being charged with porn offences .
This apparently happened last week . Surely it is another instance of met plod failure …. ?
Elsewhere
Whoopee – inflation has ‘dropped ‘ by one per cent – there s no need for strikes – everything will be cheaper – there is no ‘cost of living crisis ‘ – no recession … naturally the inept BBC fails to explain the reality …..
Funny comment on twitter
“My theory is that Biden will tell the truth because he won’t be able to remember the lies”
Very true
What do these 2 BBC article have in common?.
UK inflation dips but remains close to 40-year high

and
Unemployment: Fewer working in Wales as jobless figure falls
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63212189
The answer is this picture:
Proof if any was needed that the racist BBC choose pictures with BAME just for the sake of it.
JohnC, I reckon the BBC are failing in their duty to report unemployment accurately. It is probably a shade over 1.3 million and not ’employment is at an all time high’ or ’employers are finding it difficult to hire’.
John-Yet again !! Day after day , after day. ” Prices of basic products like milk and cheese” download it for everyone to see. It’s as if the
indigenous white population of the UK don’t exist . Even though we are 85% of the population, so far as the BBC is concerned with
regards to public social cost of living features. And much more.
What really bothers me is how they are up in arms when something is all-white or all-male.
They are the most disgusting of virtue-signalling double-standard hypocrites. They are absolutely guilty of the racism and sexism they accuse everyone else of – but their ideology makes them think it is right.
Yet again, this picture is not something I recognise – certainly not in the area where I live. Inner city London maybe, – probably where all those in the advertising and marketing industry have a trendy home.
Today
2 days running meesh has a chat with a yank wimmin pronouncing how British plod should be dealt with . Apparently if a plod receives multiple allegations against them they are instantly guilty .
So forget innocent until proved guilty
Forget due process
Forget that people make false allegations
No – just crucify any plod just in case . Don’t get me wrong . I care less about plod . They do nothing for me . They are not there . Nor am I a great fan of due process –
But the swamp seems to want to suspect ‘natural justice ‘ and just convict plod based on ‘patterns ‘, they want it both ways .
So far there is silence from the emir of londonistan and the police federation …..
There currently seems to be a surfeit of overseas Herrpies scattered about to opine on how awful things are here, oddly not back home enjoying similar coverage.
Fed, I was going to post on that. Why do we need so many “yank wimmin” here in the UK to do professorships or be Commissioners of this and that? We have plenty of our own capable women. In addition there will extra CO2 emissions that the BBC are normally so concerned about from travels back and forth across the Atlantic by air.
I think they tend to be more pushy even than the coloured race industry girls – the regiments of them – and to repeat – to ‘take lessons ‘ from people from the US police experience is a bit of a joke really .
I favour a 100% female police force – with the work life balance sorted out so no one has to do weekends or night time ….
They can then go on diversity courses on how to deal with the few remaining men in the population ….
Hows about this, Fed?
Fedup
Completely agree. The rottenisation of our legal system is well under way. Over 80,000 men in prison and only 3,500 wimmin – clearly a case for affirmative action.
They can not use me for jury system as I will tell them I will automatically find a man not guilty and a woman guilty. I have the same bias as the legal system clearly does, but just the other way around.
A_S, few years ago,vthe original BBC stock footage of the prison population, showed just a load of ethnics wearing close-fitting cloth hats, in sandals and those funny long nightshirts, all shuffling though the corridors and past the barred doors!
I bet they never show that clip again now…
I was under the impression that there are millions of women in prison for not paying the fine they were given for not paying the TV tax.
IMAGE WATCH- It looks like to me that the status quo policy
of the BBC on the internet , I suspect directed by BIG BROTHER
from the diversity policy. Is to have Getty’s send them every
day an image of anything but UK indigenous imaging for their main news feature on public interest . Such as todays on UK
inflation. I reiterate, this goes on day after day.
I think they are scared sh—less that they will be accused of racism by failing to show enough coloured faces – I believe there is even a ‘charity’ which monitors coloured face time – u think it’s an explanation for the white blond girl and coloured man with coffee coloured offspring in so many adverts …. ( which I no longer see )

1985
Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police,
more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country.
The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

A few savage Afghans murdering other people, vastly disproportionate stabbing rates by black people in Londonistan and entire groups of Muslim’s raping young girls are basically ignored by the BBC as reporting it ‘is not helpful’ for their social engineering agenda.
Yet one scumbag rapist copper gets multiple articles over several days and means the entire police force are probably rapists.
These kind of warped principles are how the ideological Left have justified their murder of millions throughout history.

The questions centre on whether Mr Zahawi tried to avoid paying tax by using an offshore company to hold shares in polling company YouGov.
Former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has not denied a report he has agreed to pay millions of pounds in tax to settle a dispute with Revenue and Customs.
It comes after the Sun on Sunday claimed Mr Zahawi’s representatives would pay a “seven-figure sum” to HMRC.
BBC News has not been able to verify the Sun story but a representative for Mr Zahawi did not issue a denial when asked if it was true.
His tax affairs “were and are fully up to date and paid in the UK”, they said.
HMRC said it would not comment on the affairs of individual taxpayers.

Her story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International, a British-based global NGO, which published several independent reports about the supposed killings[3] and testimony from evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, reporters were given access to the country. An ABC report found that “patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait’s nurses and doctors … fled” but Iraqi troops “almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die.”[4] Amnesty International USA reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the Bush administration of “opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement”.[5]

Such as this spring to mind when the bbc mounts a very high horse (how and from which direction) to conflate an entire institution’s roster and corporate culture based on the actions of a few.
‘bonfire of EU laws’
HA HA HA…

“I believe Western culture — rule of law, universal suffrage, etc. — is preferable to Arab culture: that’s why there are millions of Muslims in Scandinavia, and four Scandinavians in Syria. Follow the traffic. I support immigration, but with assimilation.”

Do 999 call handlers have a way of delaying answering your second and third call backs , and instead prioritise first calls ?
THat is the crucial question.
More or Less just reported that in December on median average calls took 37 seconds to answer instead of less than 30 seconds
but some calls took much longer ..so the mean average was 88 seconds
Only at the end did they reveal the stats included people
*calling back a second time a third time* say asking how long the ambulance will be etc.
However that doesn’t explain the delay in getting an ambulance out
Category 1 (cardiac arrest etc.) rose from 7 mins to 11 mins
Category 2 (Still breathing stroke etc.) rose from low 20 mins to 40 mins to 90 mins in Dec 2022.
There was a massive rise in Category 1 from typical 60K to 100K, but that includes the second or third calls
They said the delays were caused by hospital handover times which rose from 15 mins to 30 mins to 50 mins
Of course, the deteriorating standards get nowhere near the coverage they deserve – even the whinnying of the unions noticeably swerves addressing that essentially they want more for less…..
The raw numbers aren’t front and centre – and in the culture of putrid advocacy that the BBC in particular wallow in, “they” think that’s OK.
Meanwhile Twitter UK still punting state propaganda. Looks like Hunt’s media trainers can’t shake off their Play Skool past…
I think one Louise Casey ? Got a mention today on today because she is doing the report into the plod who murdered a lady a year ago – I don’t get why these reports take so long to complete .
But I guess the latest plod rapist will be added to the job making the report take even longer.
But I will do a summary for the reasons why there are so many criminals in plod
1. Standards were reduced for ‘diversity ‘
2. Background checks – vetting – was token to ensure quotas
3. There was no incentive to point out dodgy ‘co workers ‘
4. Whistleblowers knew there would be ‘consequences ‘
5. Offenders were protected in the same way other criminals r
6 managers preferred a quiet life to get to the next promotion
7 finally – and sadly – plod retained a reputation – long and rightly held – for being safe and good . But the above destroyed that.
Remedy ? Usually it’s a ‘royal commission ‘ – but they take years and years – restructuring – a national service – maybe – external regulation – crime commissioners – already done –
So maybe there is no remedy – same as the NHS – same as the judicial system – border control – corrupt government – blue /red … just a rapidly declining country.
Apologies for being so negative so often but it’s the way I really see it .

Next item The NHS has more money and more staff than ever but worse service
Their expert said Covid costs, Covid patients and Covid procedures ..ie have to do more cleaning
– There is more staff absence
I wonder if there are more part time staff ?
.. They said there is a shortage of care workers ..that affects discharge from hospital to care homes
(They failed to mention care workers were sacked for refusing vax)
Before Covid UK was in middle of the pack re Europe health spending and still does now .
Their expert said cos people live longer Health Care spending should increase at 3% per year.
He went on about other countries being richer in GDP and suggested UK should increase taxes to catch up.

Think about it tomo…. Moderna “working” to “manufacture” vaccines for unspecified future pandemics, real or imagined and the UK Government underwriting it all including being on tap to fund the development then bring in martial law over the public in order for them to oblige them to consume Moderna’s products… Then the same UK Government picks up the tab.
Now that’s what I call a good business model with Moderna taking the spoils!
Do we not have at least one MP who is able to see this as a possibility and question the deal or was it all worked out in the members bar in the HOC’s?
Next M or L item ..teachers’ union says teachers pay fell by 24% since 2010
There were a series of mistakes
#1 The spokes woman actually meant 23%
#2 They used RPI for inflation , and no one else does , cos that metric is misleading
The IFS calculated the real terms fall is 13%
#3 The 23% stat is not about the average teacher it’s about the most experienced teachers
because starting salaries have risen most if you include all teachers, the average fall is 10%

Nice promotion, I didn’t think this sort of thing was acceptable. Us plebs shouldn’t fly, go anywhere, and live in boxes
“Celebrities” have different rules
Every nurse currently being interviewed on the protesting picket line are quoting the same mantra “want to ensure we give our patients safe and protective care……………”
Er, so, by giving them (say) an extra 20 quid a week, that’s going to ensure patients get a safe and protective environment for their care. How does that happen ? Same number of nurses, same shift patterns, yet a pay rise makes the difference.
I don’t see it, can someone explain ?
Brissles
They are allowed to get away with the main reason for the strike is to ‘protect patients’ . But this is then followed by the ‘ more public money ‘ argument .
No doubt the BBC will show footage of some staged collapse outside a hospital with the angels leaving their picket line . Msm likes that one .
Meanwhile outpatients appointments are cancelled . Why not strike on same day as the railway lot ? Would save travel stress …
Starting salary for nurses is £24,907
That’s the minimum they get and it goes up in steps every year plus whatever pay award they get.
On the regular tv interviews we are told they are eating the scraps of the plates that the patients don’t eat.
They are using food banks.
They drink nothing because they don’t have any time to go to the toilet.
Over 70s on the old second class pension get less than a third of that.
Well. I can confirm, during the last strike, my niece, who is a nurse in a Leeds hospital took her 18 year old student daughter to Manchester so they both could get tattoos. She then bought a new I phone.
I don’t know if she went to a food bank when they got home…..
Teachers on £44k?
Fed up
You forgot the 23% pension contribution. Everyone seems to.
Round numbers £10 k.
So shall we actually say teachers on £54k ?
Not too bad is it for a teacher with 5 years experience, say late 20s.

bBc Scotland ( £32million ) white elephant and stv ( snp media) are not asking a number of questions about recent figures stating that there are 150,000 persons residing in scotland who have never worked a day in their life.
this , of course , leads to speculation
1) SNP core support? therefore benefactors of light touch
2) majority identify as roman catholic who voted disproportionately for independence.
3) what is the breakdown of this cohort?
4) why are people who choose to make indolence a lifestyle allowed to vote?
5) Why have the snp not been pressed to comment on this by MSM in scotland.

Zahawi tax : BBCnews did put up a story 3:56pm Tuesday and tweeted it later
Now 20 hours later I spot some Labour accounts claiming the “BBC is silent”
..
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has been compared to Mr Bean over a social media video in which he uses coffee cups to explain inflation.
In the video, Mr Hunt orders a flat white before explaining what he is doing to tackle rising prices.
He says a cup of coffee a year ago was around £2.50, but is now £3. He then sets out the reasons for high inflation, such as the war in Ukraine.
Both Labour and Liberal Democrats criticised the chancellor’s video.

“Michael Kelly: An engineer shows us what net zero would really mean”
Quite a long video but the background facts will make you sit up and pay attention. Kelly differently focusses on, not just the cost of the impossible Net Zero but also the cost on Rare Earths and other materials needed for construction i.e. Concrete & Steel.
It is clear to me that achieving Net Zero is a façade for the real plan. That is to starve or chill or infect most of the population with infections or drugs to combat same and/or kill them off. ‘Kill ’em all off’ and the problem will go away. That’s not including Soros, Gates, et. al. of course.
These have already been posted, plus the Roberts comment further on. We are in an era of delusion propped up by propaganda.

My career spanned a few industries, including engineering and advertising.
Both ‘businesses’, subject to the whims of market forces. And both as a consequence utterly shaped by the demands of pragmatic realities, despite being pretty different arenas.
And if one thing guided both, it was you didn’t budge until you had the best possible estimates (not quotes) of a positive outcome internally, plus contingencies in place, before proceeding. Or the deliverables resulting against briefed ambitions embraced could bite you, hard.
Of all too many juvenile idealistic aspirations dreamed up in the kindergartens of politics, NGOs, media, etc, where I suspect few businessmen and and even fewer engineers have or will ever roam, ‘NetZero’ has to be the most idiotic one dreamed up to please an army of box ticking pencil pushers.
Of course, there are engineers more than happy to build a turbine with a claimed capacity to heat all of Scotland but will in reality generate enough on occasion to power Krankie’s dildo.
And there are more than enough ad folk to slap a food miles logo on a Sainsbury’s CEO’s H2 Hummer.
If, and because they know they will get paid, no matter what.
Because the folk paying them know they will get paid, no matter what, plus pensions, and are unaccountable.
