Midweek 1 February 2023

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 .

      And he’ll be very welcome back. There aren’t too many appointment-to-view programmes left on the television (not that I watch it “live” of course, since there’s no TV licence here) but this is one of the very few.

    And, further to my above post regarding 5G:

    They cannot prove a link between illness and nitrous oxides yet still Highways England are arbitrarily reducing speed limits on their roads “just in case”

    “Air quality speed limit trials: We are trialling 60mph speed limits on short sections of our network where action needs to be taken to reduce emissions and improve air quality.

    Based on the findings for our research programme we expect there will be a reduction in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) when traffic is reduced from 70 to 60mph in these locations.
    We are now trialling this approach on-road, to assess whether reducing the speed limit reduces NO2 levels.We will monitor this trial and if proven successful, the speed limit will remain in place until the area is compliant.”

    https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-work/environment/air-quality-and-noise/air-quality/air-quality-speed-limit-trials/

    and yet:

    ” many of the government-approved rules on RF were established in the late 1990s and based on limited research. Scientists now don’t think the issue is so clear, and some aren’t staying quiet. To date, more than 3,500 physicians across preventive and environmental medicine, toxicology and other specialties have united against 5G, citing main associated risks of nonionizing radiation—according to peer-reviewed scientific literature—including cancer, cellular stress, genetic damage, reproductive changes and deficits and neurological disorders.

    “Action must be taken now to reduce human exposure to nonionizing radiation to as low as can be achievable, including a moratorium on the introduction of 5G,” says Anthony B. Miller, M.D., professor emeritus at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health of the University of Toronto, in a 2020 statement from the Physicians Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment and the British Society for Ecological Medicine.

    The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) also notes that in the 1990s, some research found a possible link between EMF field strength and an increased risk of childhood leukemia, but the association was weak. Now, though, the organization notes, “in the age of cellular telephones, wireless routers, and the Internet of things, all of which use EMF, concerns persist about possible connections between EMF and adverse health effects. NIEHS acknowledges additional research is needed and recommends continued education on practical ways to reduce exposures to EMFs.”

    … and another mish-mash from the BBC and the Democrats:

    US halts Blinken China visit after spy balloon row
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64516218

    So they haven’t brought it down in case it landed on someone ???. I’m certain they would once it wasn’t over any built-up area – and just a few holes would bring it down fairly slowly. Then we could see what was actually on it. Instead we are supposed to believe they just let it float on – transmitting whatever data is is transmitting.

    How did it even get there without anybody noticing ???. Is it a stealth balloon with all metal and electronics covered up ?.

    Then they’ve immediately cancelled this visit ??.

    Maybe Joe just wants to show that the Afghanistan and Ukraine disasters – both on his watch – were not flukes and now he really wants to p*ss China off.

    Yet another story from the BBC involving the USA and world diplomacy stinks with the BBC very happy to help push any narrative the Democrats want. Will we be able to reach the next election before Joe starts WW3 ?.

    TOADY Watch #2 – why did you not challenge that incredible statement BBC?

    The USA has a spy balloon from China hovering above Montana. Or so the US State Department claims. Apparently the Department of Defense do not want to shoot it down because it might injure someone on the ground. What?!!! In Montana? That is taking Health and Safety Assessments to a new level of absurd. Send someone up in a biplane with a sharp pointy stick. That will do it without using bullets.

    Weather balloons come down all the time. They don’t injure people. But guns and knives do at ground level.

    Read this article by an ex senior civil servant who fed anti government information to the BBC but was caught out when the BBC accidentally revealed her identity.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/03/whistleblower-who-revealed-fall-of-kabul-chaos-sues-uk-government-after-sacking

    You need to read a bit between the lines but what I can see is a systematic undermining of the government in process. We would never have known about this had the BBC not goofed up either!

    A hand in glove movement to bring the government into disrepute,

    How many more of these snakes are slithering round the civil service establishments but have not yet been uncovered.

    It explains a lot about the demise of Johnson facing relentless vicious attacks directly from public employees of the state on purely political grounds.

    I think the current ridiculous unrest in the unions is a branch of the same lefty tree and tactics.

    These people will not rest until the Tories have gone and we are back in the stinking EU.

      How ridiculous. What stupid, stupid woman. And it’s not the EU which is supplying them, it’s the taxpayers who fund the EU and have no say whatsoever in how it is spent.

      The problem in Ukraine is power or no power. Not how much.

      And every time the USA/UK/EU escalate the war, the more certain it is that Russia will destroy any infrastructure which might power those LED bulbs.

      There’s a distressing video of a young school bus user being pummelled by what appears to be a primary school six footer of color.

      Seems the sole resort is for the parents to sue.

      Possibly ‘not news’ for BBC North America?

      If I had a propaganda system, it would be just like the BBC.

    BBC local newsPR opens with a PRasNews item for a local Heart Screening charity just like ITV did a few days ago.
    The charity pushes for universal heart screening
    ‘Oh look it saved this womans life
    she was one of 12 picked up in last week’s screening ‘

    Was she ?
    She revealed her father recently died at 47 of a hole in the heart condition, so her and her brother stood a chance of being same
    And sure enough the scan shows she too has a hole that might kill her in 25 years time.
    Surely targeted NHS would have picked that up anyway, without this charity.

    ‘UK Athletics wants a change in legislation to ensure the women’s category is lawfully reserved for competitors who are recorded female at birth.’

    .. and the complete farce continues to unravel itself once the ‘ideology’ of the Left meets the real world.

    As it always does. At least for this one they can’t end up murdering everyone who doesn’t match their theoretical eutopia.

    TOADY Watch #3 – well, what a thing to say on the BBC!

    I think it was the final item on TOADY. A painting is going to be lost for the nation unless funds can be raised for its purchase. I think they said the painting was by Sir Joshua Reynolds. I switched off in protest when they said that Sir Joshua normally painted white people and this portrait is important because it is of a Polynesian visitor to the UK. Is this yet another proof that the BBC is racist?

    Up2 – you have to admire the sheer lack of subtly in BBC propaganda / social drive these days – surely even the dimmest sees the ‘agenda ‘ ?

    I always found Josh Reynolds a bit ‘chocolate box ‘ but I suppose he represents something I don’t know about – writing as a pleb .

    I’ve been ‘swerving ‘ Today and the BBC for a bit but I know it will drag me back – perhaps I’m addicted to Far Left Child Like Propaganda now .

    The BBC brand remains a strong one . It retains a ‘historic heritage ‘ which still ties too many too it . But bit by bit that is being eroded . Let’s help .

    And with that homily it’s time for the weeken d thread . Thanks every one contributing and reading this site – even you State monitors and minor trolls …
