Although the comrades are striking on Wednesday there appears no solidarity in the Far Left BBC. It will be desperate to create more gloom with one long day of Left Wing propaganda comrades .

Will it get a £1m logo, using the savings on Crox Off?
More cost cutting from the BBC . It has decided there are only 3 seasons – therefore ‘autumnwatch ‘ has been cancelled …I’ve never seen any of their stuff so a presenter called ‘Chris packham ‘ will presumably re surface on Netflix ….
Because of MMGW there’s only three seasons now.
Fed, poor old Packham is tired out and he wants a break.
One of the many annoying things about the BBC, on top of its massive bias, is the sort of story that it prioritizes over more important ones. Take the 6 p.m. news on bad old Radio 4.
Yesterday, we heard towards the end an absurd and largely speculative item about reintroducing the dodo bird (yes, really!) Eat your heart out, Jurassic Park. Apparently they MIGHT be able to breed back to the dodo from related pigeons alive today … but it’s not easy (no $h1t, Sherlock!) They even asked if it would survive this time round! I mean, if it’s worth wasting money on breeding dodos, you really ought to be able to protect them and their eggs from predators. Utter nonsense.
Then there was an item about Ozzy Osbourne, who is not dead or even near it, but who has said he will not tour any more. No great loss, some might say, but he still plans to perform and you might be able to go to him, rather than vice versa. So, largely a non-story and not worth the time or space.
Today, it was the famous number 6 shirt worn by Jim Baxter when Bonnie Skhotland beat the hated Sassenachs 3-2 at Wembley in 1967. There are two different shirts, both claimed to be the original (perhaps Jim put a fresh one on at half time?!) one of which was auctioned by Baxter in the early 1990s and the other came via footballer Alan Hudson from World Cup winner Alan Ball, who swapped shirts with Baxter after the game. A good chance for anti-English gloating by the BBC but hardly worth the time.
Meanwhile, all sorts of stories of immigrant crime here in the UK and of political developments in the US (e.g. Biden corruption) go unreported …
Mustapha
I enjoy the ‘obituaries ‘ of rap ‘artists no one has ever heard of – dead at the age of 25 after colliding with a high velocity bullet – then they play some of the work by thev’homie ‘ for his b*tches’ – sure that one won’t be banned …
Mustapha,
I’m surprised that the extinction of the dodo hasnt been blamed on colonialism and we should be apologising to someone somewhere for it.
“BBC filmmaker backtracks, now sees Islamic State bride Shamima Begum as a ‘narcissist’.” [Christine Douglass-Williams in Jihad Watch, 1/2/2023.]
“… … …
The BBC podcast [“I’m Not a Monster”] which was clearly designed to help Begum as she renews her appeals to return to Britain, was a major flop, and further discredited the BBC. The Daily Mail also reported:
Earlier this month the BBC sparked fury as it devoted a 10-episode podcast to the woman who is accused of sewing bombers into their suicide vests while living in ISIS-controlled territory in the Middle East.
Now, BBC filmmaker Andrew Drury has publicly stated that “he initially felt sorry for the former ISIS bride, but has radically changed his mind.”
Andrew Drury’s timing is peculiar. He once “argued that the British government had a responsibility to repatriate British jihadi brides like Ms Begum.” It is a pity that he didn’t voice his new concerns about her prior to the podcast. Had the podcast been a raving success, would Drury have spoken out against Begum? His self-interest may be one thing, but let’s hope that his comments, along with the podcast’s failure, harm Begum’s appeal.
… … …”
But Naga Munchetty’s enjoying it, and after all isn’t that what the licence fee’s for?
TOADY Watch #1 – Bird influenza forgotten from 2003 …
…… but is suddenly found in some mammals by scientists. The scientists, who obviously are amnesiacs or very old (suffering dementia) or have memory problems, and are wondering (speculating?) if avian ‘flu’ can be transmitted to humans. Can we get another health scare going? I am getting fairly ancient but I remember 2003 and the chicken ‘flu’ of the year before, followed by avian (bird) ‘flu’ in 2003 and Mexican Swine ‘flu’ in 2009. Yes, all three can be transmitted to humans although the first two outbreaks in China were fairly well contained. In 2009 Mexican Swine ‘flu’ made it over the border to the USA and there were several deaths there, if I recall correctly. It also came to the UK but people here seemed to just get sick and then recover.
And the H3N2 Hong Kong flu that emerged in 1968…
Apparently there were two waves, with Woodstock in between them – hence the urban myth that everyone ignored it all around then!
I seem to remember I got flu back then and while languishing in bed, I asked my mum to buy Consulate fags instead of Players Gold Leaf, as the menthol surely cured me in enough time for me to fail my surveying exams…
Scrobie, What, WHAT!!!!???? Smoking in bed? I hope your Mum did an Elfin Safety study before going off to the tobacconists. 🙂
Ahhhhh Consulate my last fags of choice before I packed up 25 years ago.
Consulate. As cool as a mountain stream (allegedly).
gold leaf and capstan full strength
A friend of mine sent me a link to a BBC weather report:-
Why have there been no named winter storms this year?
By February, the UK would normally have had around three storms given names by the Met Office – just like Arwen, Barra and Callum. But so far this autumn and winter, there hasn’t been a single one.
I’m sure we shouldn’t worry, but to help them out I’ve thought of a few:-
Storm Boris. A lot of bluster and blowing with a considerable amount of hot air.
Storm Nicola. A nasty vicious little storm generally prevalent in the North and independent of all other UK storms. People are apt to take little notice of it, but can cause widespread damage in Scotland, apart from to the trans community.
Storm Liz. Blew away before it even started (thankfully).
Storm Kier. Another storm people take little notice of. Often present but generally ineffective and lacking in power.
Storm Rishi. A small storm, but can be persistent and slightly annoying.
Storm Nadhim. Originates from Iraq, but deceptive and often seen offshore, eventually blown away by storm Rishi.
Superb, Concers!
Would you mind if I shamelessly borrow it and post it elsewhere, as I really need a funny one this week! I’ll certainly give you a byeline!
Scroblene,
Yes please do
Thank you Concreters!

TWatO Watch #1 – When ‘Foghorn’ gets going it’s hard to stop her but she has a rival
The Montacutie lured the Shadow Chancellor, Rachel ‘Foghorn’ Reeves onto TWatO as a contributor on the subject of interest rate rises and Shell’s record profits. I had to switch off several times in protest but eventually the blaring stopped. The very next item was about some JustStopOil protesters who had scaled an oil platform in Portugal. Was this wimmin loud? She outdid ‘Foghorn’ and I switched off again but then became distracted by the peace and quiet and forgot to turn the radio back on.
BBC’s, Labour Party’s and JSO’s loss not mine.
Bandwagon jumping and book plugging all in one go… Gina Miller joins in the Raab-bashing with a masterclass in prejudiced reasoning.
In the Question Time green room, Raab — having heard someone called Nish Kumar is on the panel — assumes it’s a bloke who turns out to be Miller’s brother (also a BAME).
To many it would be a blessing to not know who Nish Kumar is, but to Miller racial bias is the culprit. “Why has race once again become such a focus in our seemingly civilised twenty-first-century society?” she asks in her book. Because some people like to make it so, Gina.

I’d love to see Sweet Chariot go and replaced by something English.
I’d also be overjoyed if Land of Hope and Glory became the national anthem.
The dreadful dirge ‘God Save the King” becomes less inspiring by the day.
The trouble with ‘Sweet Chariot’, Yasser, is that all the stands in Twickenham had to be reinforced from lateral movement when spectators did the actions!
It’s a recorded fact that in the Wales England matches in the sixties, the West Stand used to wobble distinctively, so much so, that several spectators had to leave a minute or so before the end of the game, and go to the West Bar and order forty pints each for their club members, to save them all queueing after the scrum to get out of the stand!
Engineers have also built-in special measures for the line, ‘Coming for to carry me home’…
Interesting a new world wide democracy report has shown democracy fell so much under Obama that the US is no longer regarded as a “full Democracy” but rather a “flawed Democracy”, that whilst it don’t get any worse under Trump, it didn’t get any better either, but it has worsened under Biden.
Probably not a surprise the UK doesn’t even make it into the top ten either, but we are a little better than the USA.
Question, why do the BBC newscast presenters e.g Chris Mason etc, all have to wear headphones when they are sitting facing and talking to each other in the studio 4 feet apart?
Especially when Mason wears his with one ear in and one ear out!
It makes them look like total numpties!
It makes no sense at all!
Maybe they think it will visually appeal to youngsters playing computer games or maybe is it that they are being told what to say through the earphones by the BBC mantra mandarins at the top throughout?
Personally I see the influence of a 20 something studio manager with a totally ridiculous view of the world out there.

SILENT WITNESS watch. Now on Series 10 2006. And guess what, an episode where illegal migrants are crossing the Channel from Calais in a boat in inclement weather. Of course it uptips – no Border Force taxi back then and they all wash up on the beach. Its not referred to as people smuggling but people trafficking. Mainly orientals, but with an Albanian mastermind – really ??? who’d have thought. Seventeen years ago, and according to the tv in the background the illegal migrant ‘crisis’ had risen from an annual number of 379,000 to just over 500,000. I laughed.

Jail toilets face away from Mecca
Facilities in a prison are being built so Muslim inmates do not have to face Mecca while sitting on the toilet.
The Home Office said two new toilet blocks are being installed as part of a refurbishment at Brixton jail in south London.
Faith leaders had told prison bosses it was unacceptable for Muslim inmates to face Mecca while using the toilet.
“The refurbishment has been carried out with due consideration for all faiths”, a Home Office spokeswoman said.
“Following consultation with faith leaders within the prison, various small adjustments were made to ensure the faith issues of all prisoners are taken into account.”
She added: “The money spent did not affect the overall cost of the refurbishment programme.”

Martin Henry Bashir (born 19 January 1963) is a British journalist.[1] He was a presenter on British and American television and for the BBC’s Panorama programme, for which he interviewed Diana, Princess of Wales in 1995. Although the interview was much heralded at the time, it was later determined that he had used forgery and deception to gain it.[2][3]

Hello Guest
The bBC still managed to find its quota of 66%, but not as many as the tv adverts running of about 80-90%
The immigrants make their way north, having no desire to assimilate to French culture, but continuing to demand a First World standard of living, even as they flout laws, do not produce, and murder French citizens, such as factory bosses and shopkeepers, as well as the ordinary people who do not welcome them. They are also joined by the immigrants who already reside in Europe, as well as various left-wing and anarchist groups. Across the West, more and more migrants arrive and have children, rapidly growing to outnumber whites. In a matter of months, the white West has been overrun and pro-immigrant governments have been established, while the white people are ordered to share their houses and flats with the immigrants. The village containing the troops is bombed flat by airplanes of the new French government, referred to only as the “Paris Multiracial Commune”. Within a few years, most Western governments have surrendered. The mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three African-American families from Harlem; migrants gather at coastal ports in West Africa and South Asia and swarm into Europe, Australia, and New Zealand; London is taken over by an organization of non-white residents known as the “Non-European Commonwealth Committee”, who force the British queen to have her son marry a Pakistani woman; millions of black Africans from around the continent gather at the Limpopo River and invade South Africa; and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of hundreds of thousands of Chinese peasants as they overrun Siberia.

Getting tough with those dirty rotten scoundrels edition
A quick glance at the BBC’s very own headline for their online press round up this morning will define for you in a nutshell our liberal media’s problem with understanding capitalism: Newspaper headlines: Economy to ‘stagnate’ and Shell profits ‘obscene’
Oh for a bouyant economy with rising living standards – where no company ever made a profit.
‘cos it’s a moral issue, a question, apparently, of decency rather than economics: Calls for tougher windfall tax after Shell posts ‘obscene’ record profits (Guardian) – we know what higher tax rates are… but how do you define tougher? That’ll be a whole new page in our ever-lengthening tax rule book.
Perhaps if everything were nationalised and our faceless (chinless) managerial civil servants ran things – then we wouldn’t have to put up with: Scumbag alert… You dirty rotten scoundrels… (Daily Star) – there’s one for the teenagers – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels [1988] is a comedy film directed by Frank Oz and starring Steve Martin, Michael Caine and Glenne Headly… the film tells the story of two con men competing to swindle an heiress
Energy firms horde £9bn of customer cash (Telegraph)
As people freeze in their own homes, energy supplier Shell announces profits of £32bn… Meanwhile, heartless British Gas admits agents broke into vulnerable customers’ homes (Daily Star)
And if you take for granted the main excuse for high gas prices as being the war in Ukraine; then let’s rephrase those headlines a tad: As people freeze in their own homes, Britain to send 14 of its main battle tanks to Ukraine (Reuters); Unit cost FV 4034 Challenger 2 £4,217,000 (thank you Wiki, although one suspects that cost has been considerably written down – but then there’s the replacement cost – if our government decides to replace)
When one considers the stuborn refusal of the west to come to the negotiating table with Putin the Daily Star’s thought for the day is rather poignant: Smells like blood money to us
But I digressed… how about the government cuts out all those dodgy capitalist middle men and runs or at least toughly (TM the Guardian) regulates everything managing it all instead with lawyers and civil servants?
Labour will soon be in power to do it even if the Tories don’t do it first
A sort of soft Marxism? Afterall: ‘I’ll retire when I die’ Corbyn continues to plague Starmer (‘i’)
PM: Channel migrant situation is ‘ridiculous’ (Daily Express)
Pontins asylum accommodation plans scrapped… Ministers are searching for large sites to replace the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers waiting for their claims to be assessed. (BBC)
Lawyers and civil servants not doing so well? Perhaps, we’d best leave running things to the dirty rotten scoundrels – at least we still have energy supplies – at the moment, despite Green Net Zero policy.
Meanwhile…
The wheels keep falling off this old project fear narrative wagon: Lockdown damage to workforce is permanent (Telegraph)
Remote work is here to stay – says the FT’s Datawatch
Three wheels on my wagon, And I’m still rollin’ along
The Cherokees are chasing me,
Arrows fly, Right on by,
But I’m singing a happy song
I’m singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high…
‘It is essential we remain vigilant on Covid-19’… Jabs have been stopping most people getting severely ill, but hundreds of thousands remain vulnerable to the disease (BBC)
Now that every one is on the hate power company bandwagon – I do enjoy the prospect of people who have had meters installed via a warrant getting their free money via the kind of lawyers who did PPI ….
Although as I write I realise that the Warrant probably ‘protects ‘ centrica and its’ agents from liability ….
Centrica will still be expected to pay out as a ‘good will gesture’… whereas I think people should get the money from their own efforts to pay their bills . And obviously not breed and live off the State…

“This individual is a rapist”
The reaction of the audience says it all.

“Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed.”

Pathetic.
He was wearing a hood and a mask, and was described as “like something out of a vigilant movie”.

Tucker compares Joe Biden to Saddam Hussein – with examples….
Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.
The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.
Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

The BBC cost of living correspondent is going to be doing serious overtime listing the coming increases in costs this year – interest rates already at 4% inflation still -I think – going up – budget in March – council tax up maybe 5% or more – April next energy price hike …
There is talk that some people are still saving money but I think there will be a fair few feeling the strain , if you add the BBC constant attack on consumer confidence we are heading for that recession .
But at least cost of petrol / gas isn’t continuing to rise ….yet …
They represent a significant source of revenue for government. In 2022-23, we expect fuel duties to raise £25.0 billion. That would represent 2.8 per cent of all receipts and is equivalent to around £900 per household and 1.0 per cent of national income.
The high tax rate in the UK can be traced back to John Major’s government when an annual environment tax of “at least 3% above inflation” was introduced on motor fuel. This was then later set at 5% above inflation and continued until it was scrapped by Gordon Brown after protests in 2000.
TOADY Watch #1 – hmmn, I don’t think the lyrics say anything bad
Much angst (JustRemainIn Webb is a Ruggerbee fan) over the decision by the Welsh RFU to (try to) ban the singing of the song Delilah, a hit for Tom Jones in the 1960s, during the forthcoming Six Nations tournament. Good luck with trying to stop Welsh men and women singing! However the Welsh authorities have obviously misunderstood the song lyrics.
For a start, it is loosely based, very loosely based!, on the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah which can be read in the book of Judges. Secondly, Delilah in the song has cheated on her boyfriend or partner or, even, husband. Thirdly, the singer expresses regrets for the deed he has done in killing Delilah. Fourthly he asks forgiveness of her, any family of Delilah and, I guess, God for that deed he has done.
Seriously brain damaged rugby authorities in Wales?

Our house energy meters traditionally used to deliver energy at 10p per KWh
Then at some point British Green broke in and installed meters that charge 40p per KWh
Not BBC – but an update about smart meters …..
I contracted with Eon a year ago for fixed rate dual fuel . Part of the deal was to have a smart meter . I put it off as long as I could but last October they finally turned up to fit one . Turns out the wooden board on which the ‘old meter ‘ was mounted had woodworm . So Eon had to get national grid to deal with the meter .
So national grid turned up in December and told me they’d need to dig up my llttle drive way . Gulp .
So the day before yesterday they dug up my drive . Yesterday they came and fitted the meter . They promised to turn up today and fix my driveway …..
Obviously I thought they’d botch it …. But guess what ? It’s done and back just as it was ….
… next up … the dreaded smart meter ……

“which he does not think is a good use of money.” –
Further to this and F2 post earlier:
I am currently the victim of a barrage of harrassment from my energy company regarding their “urgent” need to replace my old electricity meter with a smart meter.
Email after email, texts, phone calls and someone knocking on the door.
My meter is over 15 years old so may be a safety hazard !!! (Really ?)
It may give false readings !!!! (Really ?)
Urgent !!! (No not really)
Replace with a Smart meter ! (No thanks I do not want one)
Helps you save energy !! (bollox)
They can replace my meter at MY convenience with like for like model of meter , fine, but why the desperate need for a smart meter ?
Putting my data at risk and my house with people knowing if it is likely I am out of the house or on holiday.
And, of course, the possible safety risk of 5 G waves all over the house (don’t laugh its as likely as the safety risk from a 15 year old electricity meter) and, of course, the energy company able to profit from adjusting my tarrifs knowing when I use most energy….
And the horror stories of people not able to switch energy suppliers and receiving horrendous wrong, large bills when the Smart meter turns out to be not as Smart as they think, in fact pretty thick as sh@t.
Add to that any number of conspiracy scenarios in the future from the green Nazis…
But you have to have one, BY LAW, they tell me. FO, I tell them.
Zephir, if your energy company believes that CO2 causes Global Warming and Climate Change tell your energy supplier that Smart meters make no sense because they increase the drain on electricity supplies (more CO2 emissions), they have to have a sender unit powered by electricity in with the gas meter which is not safe and the two bits of sender plus the display unit have to be made somewhere (probably China with CO2 emissions there!), have to be transported here with some CO2 emissions, have to be transported to the wholesaler (more CO2 emissions) have to be purchased by the installer (yet more CO2 emissions) and then have to be installed at your dwelling. (The final lot of CO2 emissions for now! Whoopee!) Then the display unit or the two sender units may not work properly and have to be replaced. (some more CO2 emissions but that is not all.) If you switch supplier, the sneder units and/or the display unit may not work with your new supplier and the whole may have to be replaced.
Oh and you have to make sure someone is in when the workman is calling to install or replace units.
