The Hungarian foreign minister has form —
It’s worth re-watching the Newsnight video from a few years back where Maitlis attempts to nail him, BBC style, on Hungary’s migration policies… but comes up very short. Now he’s responding to recent comments by the US Ambassador David Pressman who’s accused Hungary of adopting a stance on the war that’s far too Russia-friendly for US interests. Some politicians aren’t easily swayed by the prevalent media guilt-tripping and bland, generalised consternation tactics that are so loved by the BBC:
EU Parliament backs sanctions against Hungary
A large majority of MEPs has approved plans to trigger Article 7 against Hungary, which is accused of seriously breaching EU values.

Apologies if this was already posted before but another church destroyed by fire last week, a Grade II listed church in St John’s Wood. Cause of fire is “undetermined” according to the fire brigade.
It was the 27th January… global warming? Church suffering from poor mental health…?

And you wait, if one, single mosque catches fire they will be in the streets shouting and screaming with the bbc at the front.
Literally wham-bam between two friends edition
Wait patiently and another Corbynite policy will come along – introduced by the Tories
Daily Star Sunday’s thought for the day today is: Emotions are running high
Our cheesy former short-term PM is telling it like it is in the Torygraph: Truss: I was brought down by the left-wing economic establishment
Well, well, we don’t hear so much about that organisation in the media, do we?
Oddly enough, if you read between the lines of this next report you’ll notice how our railways were never really de-nationalised: RETURN tickets are to be scapped (in other words – there’s another little price increase) as Rishi Sunak gives the green light to long awaited reforms of railways… Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, will announce plans… will also commit to Great British Railways (GBR) a new public body (‘cos we’re short of those sort of qangos, right?) that will bring the operation of track and trains under the same place for the first time (Telegraph) – first time? British Rail? (there’s one for the teenagers) “We’re getting there” anyone? Chap named Jimmy Savile was in their adverts.
Now that we’ve established there’s a lefty establishment and the trains haven’t really been de-nationalised – ministers just invited a bit of corporate cronyism into the mix and a degree of State plausible deniablity – that’s now worn so thin there’s no point pretending… just another Corbyn policy adopted by the Tories.
Imagine a minister dictating to the supermarkets they can’t do bogofs anymore.
I’m trying to figure out the logic of scrapping return tickets and their small discount and why on earth us passengers would want it? The Telegraph swallows the official narrative about how this idea: proved a success with passengers – in surveys no doubt akin to one of little man Mayor Khan’s: London ULEZ: Mayor’s officials accused of manipulating plans… Sadiq Khan has been accused of providing “false and misleading” information over the ultra-low emission zone expansion (ULEZ) plans… The Conservatives allege City Hall officials tried to “manipulate” the consultation process. (a heavily caviated BBC critique of their mate but you get the gist)
Heroes to zeros
The Observer wants more NHS: ‘Zero chance’ Tories will meet pledge of 40 new hospitals – au contraire… of course the Tories can find the capacity to build new hospitals and do it practically overnight…
Florence Nightingale received seven unexpected tributes in the 200th-anniversary year of her birth. In late March 2020, as concerns grew that Covid-19 would overwhelm the NHS’s critical care capacity, emergency NHS ‘Nightingale’ hospitals sprung up from Exeter to Sunderland with the aim of supporting the NHS to cope with surging number of people with Covid-19. (King’s Fund)
But did that improve the nation’s health any?
The King’s Fund has its doubts…
Was building the NHS Nightingale hospitals worth the money? – how very BBC-like “just asking…”
Another wheel drops off that covid narrative wagon
Just time for a quick one…
I took Harry’s virginty… Royal’s older lover is Sasha… sex in field behind busy pub… a former Highgrove groom has revealed she is the older woman… they had a passionate five minute romp… Digger driver Sasha said of their summer night tryst… “It was literally wham-bam between two friends” (The Sun)
Pity she wasn’t employed as an estate forester – we could have joked how she’s come out of the woodwork or perhaps some more saucy gag about wood
Literally wham-bam between two friends?
It’s all a little bit like that short-lived Truss-Kwarteng adminstration – which is about where we came in this morning.
Saturday local radio news
“today in Hull at 1pm there will be a march against covid lockdowns, 15-minute neighbourhoods and imposition of digital currency”
The newsreader rushed through that
but it’s actually unusual for such a march to be mentioned at all.
Then a few seconds later there was an item about a whole University student designing a climate game and that got a full clip.
“it’s only on paper now blah blah blah”
.. sounds like a project from the whole University Climate house
black student Blessing Mucherera tweeted
#FunFriday playing the co-designed ‘Living with Water’ #seriousgame with colleagues from @ShabaaBora (refugee charity)

I’ll start again
That march the newsreader rushed through was badged as “The North Unites”
Being Covid skeptics they went to the BBC building and posted the names of the vaccine harmed on the windows
I haven’t seen this mentioned elsewhere
Despite the Manchester hashtag on the tweet, the event was in Hull
I see Labour front people promoting the event
These guys tend to try to disrupt orgs that challenge the Labour Party
There is an 8 min video by TPR The People’s Resistance

Further to the BBC’s endless coverage of the eat or heat dilemmas, interviews with obese old ladies sitting under blankets refusing to put the fire on, cost of living crisis, and coverage of busy food banks………..
The Times reports that….errr……holiday companies are recording record bookings……stampeded for hottest deals……..numerous airlines, tour operators, travel agents are reporting their best ever start to the year……..
Clear proof that the BBC’s version of reality is markedly different from that of (nearly) all the rest of us.
Absolutely, Sluffers!
I bet all those murderous dog owners don’t worry about the cost of feeding the bloody things!
I cooked up 5lbs of chicken thighs in a slow, (cheap) cooker for our dog, and was left with enough chicken stock to make ten huge bowls of soup, with a few cheap veg of course, and that’ll last us for at least five days!
Total cost? About six quid!
Maybe I should ask Brooklyn Beckham as he seems to be the ‘flavour of the month’ on stupid cookery progs these days!
China balloon: US shoots down airship over Atlantic
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64524105
Not a big thing, but reading this story summed up perfectly for me what the BBC has changed into.
First it wasn’t an airship, it was a balloon. But ‘airship’ conjures up ideas it was like a Zepplin.
Bad China.
Then we get:
An eyewitness on the coast, Hayley Walsh, told BBC News she saw three fighter jets circling before the missile was fired, then “we heard a huge boom, the house shook”.
Now that is ridiculous. It was 65,000 feet up and who knows how far away. That’s more than 20km away. No chance a small missile will make the house shake.
The sinister point here which I commented on the other day is that the BBC are now regularly using unaccountable quotes from other people in order to make bold statements in articles which can be complete lies. It’s their latest way of avoiding ‘fact checking’. This is a trivial example, but they are now also doing to push their Leftist agenda which is absolutely unacceptable.
This is a new form of lying for my list : I will call it the ‘Lie by quotation’ where a lie is presented as fact but with quotation marks around it as if it is someones opinion – but I’m pretty sure it’s actually the BBC’s own words.
The second point of course is the dire quality of the ‘journalist’ who is not named but I bet my hat they look very much like all the other pictures of the BBC’s finest I have been posting.
https://www.gameindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/crimson_skies_wp.png
It was probably a scene like something out of a war film, sources say.
Germany is sending 20,000 Helmuts and a Hindenburg to meet Zel-boy’s new demands.
Wont hear or see this discussed on the BBC:
lol – the BBC ‘new generation’ reporters are so utterly clueless, I think they would actually consider using that picture as what really happened. Especially if they found it browsing Getty.
I wonder how much they pay Getty each year. I’m quite certain they do it to use taxpayers cash to make sure they get funding to stay in business – same as they do for The Guardian.

Humberside Local radio news
#1 “Local Labour MP Diana Johnson says …”
BTW the newsreader obviously missed off the first paragraph of the item
#2 “Liz truss has spoken for the first time about her low tax ideas, of her 44 day government”
Then then there was a massive clip of a Lefty voice dissing her.
#3 “NGO CLA says there should be more wind turbines on farms”
very long item
Quiet takedowns pioneered by bbc.
“The Country Land and Business Association say they hope farmers in our region will be able to do more to help with the renewable energy sector
They’ve been in discussion with Northern Powergrid to look at ways of putting more solar panels on farm roofs and and putting up some wind turbines.
It’s hope the energy produced could reduce bills for farmers and add extra electricity to the grid”
That’s PR as news of course.
The next hour it had been honed further
“And we could see more wind turbines and solar panels popping up on farm buildings and in rural fields across our area
The Country Land and Business Association say not only do farmers need cheaper forms of fuel, but they also want to help contribute towards renewable energy.
They’ve been in talks with Northern Powergrid to see if it could work.
James Savile is from the CLA”
Clip
“The energy market in the UK has changed a lot, certainly in the last 18 months
and the CLA and certainly farmer members believe that they have a part to play to be able to produce more Green electricity for the nation and for themselves”

This week, a special court found former Pakistani ruler General Pervez Musharraf guilty of high treason under article 6 of Pakistan’s constitution — for suspending the constitution when he imposed a state of emergency in November 2007 — and sentenced him to death. Article 6 holds that a person who “abrogates or subverts or suspends or holds in abeyance” the country’s constitution has committed high treason. Musharraf can appeal the verdict in the Supreme Court.

A few thoughts on the Chinese weather balloon.
This is a national embarassment for the USA although the media are downplaying it and blaming China.
The US military failed on a level similar to Pearl Harbour allowing an enemy military aircraft to complete a transit over their country.
Suppose that instead of being a surveillance balloon this was a weapon. The US would have allowed a foreign military device complete free transit of their country without intervention.
They should have seen this coming over the pacific and shot it down as soon as it entered US airspace, or failing that over Alaska which is largely uninhabited.
You think the Russians or the Chinese would have allowed this to happen to their country with a US balloon?
We all know about the top US General Milley his support for the Democrats and how he acted treacherously with regard to China and his calls to General Li Zuocheng, suspicion has to be raised about the lack of action over this.
Then there is the reluctance to shoot the thing down even when Biden is ordering him to do so, and finally given all the weather forecasts predicting the track it’s going to take, it will take a recovery vessel of the US Navy 6 days to reach an area just off the US coast.
Serious questions should be being asked as to how all of this was allowed to happen, not withstanding as some have wry noted the US military being too busy painting rainbow unicorns on its kit instead of being prepared for action.
Is this the answer?

Democracy? Ha ha
The EU concept of the ‘supremacy of EU law’ – which forces all other UK legislation to be interpreted so as to give way to EU law where there is a conflict (even if EU law was overridden by subsequent non-EU sourced UK law) – has been preserved by the 2018 Act so far as relevant to the interpretation, disapplication or quashing of domestic law passed or made before the end of the transitional period. This interpretative concept is alien to the UK legislative principles, whereby later parliaments (and their laws) can override earlier parliaments.

Erm I dont get what the law is now , I thought the hierarchy of give way was pedestrian – cyclist – motorist
and thats clearly a pedestrian crossing with pedestrains on or waiting
wtf are the rules now
It is as you stated, but as a pedestrian using many paths “shared ” with cyclists I find many treat pedestrians with the contempt and aggression that they treat motorists.
Not all, but a significant number (the lycras) group, angrily approaching behind ringing their bell and shouting for you to get out of the way. I often think that if I meet the individuals involved on the road I will do the same with my horn.
And I should really demand that the cyclists give me the same room they expect motorists to give them when overtaking “vulnerable” pedestrians, otherwise stay behind me.

Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.

The U.K.’s lobbying watchdog gave former Chancellor Philip Hammond the green light to take up a role advising the government of Saudi Arabia.
Less than two years after he left ministerial office, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) concluded Hammond’s bid to advise Riyadh on “fiscal reform” could go ahead despite considering “concerns” about the role. One member, Larry Whitty, a Labour member of the House of Lords, registered his dissent from the committee’s majority view to allow the appointment.

David Lorenzen asserts that during the Islamic rule period there was state-sponsored persecution against Hindus, yet it was sporadic and directed mostly at Hindu religious monuments.[11] According to Deepa Ollapally, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb was clearly discriminatory towards Hindu and all other non-Muslims, displaying an “unprecedented level of religious bigotry”, but perhaps this was a consequence of the opposition he faced from a number of his family members.[12] During the medieval span, she states, “episodes of direct religious persecution of Hindus were rare”, as were communal riots between Hindus and Muslims.[13]

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.

BBC NOISE (what TOADY Watch is reduced to on Sundays, I wouldn’t have it any other way) The Excuses, Excuses, Edition
Liz Truss want us to believe her. The BBC wants us to believe her. The LeftyLibbyMob in the MSM wants us all to believe her. Why? I would suggest three reasons:
1. They all wish to make life difficult for a Conservative Party Government headed by Rishi Sunak because he is rich and he (note: a mere) is PM
2. Keir Starmer looks as though he will romp into power at the next GE. The LeftyLibbyMob in the MSM including the BBC want a Government that will take us fully back into the EU and Starmer has ruled that out.
3. They wish for some endless Conservative Party in-fighting that will provide them with interest, endless pieces to mic and interviews and column inches, and,
4. They actually fear another GE defeat for Labour.
Hah! You weren’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition on a Sunday when they should all be in church. 🙂
Starmer will just follow the opinion polls and say ‘circumstances have changed ‘ in regard to the bit by bit return to the ReichEU .
The single market – open borders – then a formal rejoin complete with dumping Sterling …. All just about doable in one landslide term …. The accession in the second term ……but maybe putin will have changed the shape of Europe in those years …
But one thing which is certain – there will never be a referendum on anything in the UK again … except maybe the ending of Northern Ireland ….
Fed, you could very well be correct. After all, Labour Party principles can be changed like some people change their shirts, and Labour Party principles always seem to be directed at stuffing the small man, the blue collar worker, the employee.

“Thousands of immigrants were arriving in New York harbor by the late 19th century and making their home here on the Lower East Side, where aid organizations would often house families without means to support themselves. By 1892, the Lower East Side had become one of the most densely populated places on earth.”

1633-1634: Smallpox from European settlers
Smallpox came to North America in the 1600s. Symptoms included high fever, chills, severe back pain, and rashes. It began in the Northeast and the Native American population was ravaged by it as it spread to the west.
In 1721, more than 6,000 cases were reported out of a Boston population of 11,000. Around 850 people died from the disease.
In 1770, Edward Jenner developed a vaccine from cow pox. It helps the body become immune to smallpox without causing the disease.
Now: After a large vaccination initiative in 1972, smallpox is gone from the United States. In fact, vaccines are no longer necessary.
1793: Yellow fever from the Caribbean
One humid summer, refugees fleeing a yellow fever epidemic in the Caribbean Islands sailed into Philadelphia, carrying the virus with them.
Yellow fever causes yellowing of the skin, fever, and bloody vomiting. During the 1793 outbreak, it’s estimated that the 10 percent of the city’s population died and many others fled the city to avoid it.
A vaccine was developed and then licensed in 1953. One vaccine is enough for life. It’s mostly recommended for those 9 months and older, especially if you live or travel to high risk areas.
You can find a list of countries where the vaccine is recommended for travel on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.
Now: Mosquitoes are key to how this disease spreads, particularly in areas such as Central America, South America, and Africa. Eliminating mosquitoes has been successful in controlling yellow fever.
While yellow fever has no cure, someone who does recover from the illness becomes immune for the rest of their life.
1832-1866: Cholera in three waves
The United States had three serious waves of cholera, an infection of the intestines, between 1832 and 1866. The pandemic began in India and swiftly spread across the globe through trade routes.
New York City was the first U.S. city to feel the impact. Between 5 and 10 percent of the total population died in large cities.
Now: Cholera still causes nearly 95,000 a year worldwide, according to the CDC. Modern sewage and water treatment have helped eradicate cholera in some countries, but the virus is still present elsewhere.

BBC NOISE (what TOADY Watch is reduced to on Sundays, I wouldn’t have it any other way) The Excuses, Excuses, Edition #2
Either Liz Truss was inadequately briefed by Cabinet Office CSs or she was woefully ignorant both as an MP and someone with the ambition to Prime Minister. She really should have known about the existence and role of the Office of Budget Responsibility as she was an MP when it was set up. She should have known how Whitehall was not exactly in support of Brexit and had been, either by omission or commission, responsible for the downfall of the previous occupant of No.10. She should have known or set out to discover that the BoE Governor was in fact subverting matters by keeping interest rates lower than necessary. Most of all, she should have known that as First Lord of the Treasury she alone was responsible for matters Budgetary and Fiscal and that a major tax cut, that came out of the blue, without means to meet it was likely to ‘spook the markets’. After all, the first Conservative Party female MP to be PM had learned the hard way that ‘you cannot buck the markets’.
A black teenager beats the crap out of a 9-year-old white girl, and the BBC couldn’t care less. Imagine if the colours were reversed.

#HateyLeftiies in the teachers union
I hope her recent pic was a moment of madness
but it does seem an ingrained culture.
Her hatey tweets are 12 years old now.

Of course it wasn’t just a moment of madness – are you stupid? That attitude runs through the unions and the teaching profession like Brighton through Brighton Rock.
‘Hang the Tories’ protest banner on Salford bridge denounced by MPs
This article is more than 5 years old
Huge hand-painted sign removed from bridge by police ahead of Conservative party’s conference in Manchester
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/30/tory-delegates-to-party-conference-targeted-by-fascists
And don’t forget Rayner calling all Tories scum – and this is the headline the BBC used:
‘Labour conference: Angela Rayner stands by calling Boris Johnson ‘scum”
The Left are the biggest fascists of anyone. I can absolutely understand how they murdered so many millions throughout history who did not agree with their ideology.
That – of course – is before they changed the definition of ‘fascist’ to specifically include the words ‘right wing’.
No doubt by the same academics who have posthumously decided Hitler was in fact far-right and not a socialist after all.
I was speaking to a retired businessman today who remarked that he had just met his first academic who had some common sense.
I detest the ethics and hypocrisy of the Left. They think their ideology justifies anything.
Vile speculation hurtful to Nicola Bulley’s family, friend says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-64529251
This is the top headline for the UK today. A 100% agenda piece about online ‘abuse’. I put abuse in comma’s because as usual we get no indication of what it is.
So I went to check the BBC’s favourite burial ground (the London Violence page) to see what other news they have been hiding from us.
Straight away I see another ‘enrichment’ based murder. Here’s the victim:
That article gets 137 words. The ‘sticks and stones’ ‘abuse’ article gets 700.
Also we have:
‘Mentally ill woman who decapitated brother hospitalised indefinitely’
Their names were Heaven Belal and Omar Belal and they just moved from London so we all know why that one was buried.
You can tell when something is right on the BBC agenda because whenever they can drag up something related to it, they then proceed to re-run the original story as well to keep it current. We must have seen the same Floyd sentence telling us he was black and the policeman was white in a dozen different articles.
“Missing mother fell in river, police believe”
Apparently she was wearing an ankle length coat plus another coat, wellies – the bank was steep, it looks kind of obvious she fell in the river.
If she’d left the area by foot wouldn’t the dog just have followed?
The bbc gives a “scientific” timeline of events , but not when the police arrived, when they started searching, brought in divers etc.
Another headline
“Witness comes forward in search for Nicola Bulley”
Turn out the witness is just someone who happened to be in the area at the same time, who was CCTVd pushing a pram..
Maybe they should start with off duty plod .. ?
I just listened to several minutes of drivel on R4 news about the missing woman. “We don’t presently know where she is or what has happened to her” seems too much short, accurate honesty for both the BBC and plod.
Doesn’t stop them from presumption and speculation respectively … Turning a missing person tragedy into a f-ing circus.
Media love Twitter spats … cos they CAN speculate loads and loads
However in real crime there are arrests and charges
at which point reporting is RESTRICTED .. hence short article.
In the murder case, the BBC article contains this (Yes I know the BBC grammar i wrong and they used the wrong tense)
“On 28 January officers arrests a man aged in his late 20s on suspicion of murder.
He was taken into custody and was later released on bail”
He’s on bail so reporting is restricted
Re Sandford Police and the cyclist story, this a parody site. There is no such force…
Twitter posters and parody?
Must be a first!
FFS If you don’t know Sandford is the village in the film Hot Fuzz
where the villagers have all gone crazy following their cult slogan
“It’s for the Greater Good”
Hence the parody account
.. that we have mentioned here before
Sandi Toksvig to give all her money back the UK tax payer to say sorry for the Dangeld?
……………
Danegeld (/ˈdeɪnɡɛld/;[1] “Danish tax”, literally “Dane yield” or tribute) was a tax raised to pay tribute or protection money to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. It was called the geld or gafol in eleventh-century sources. It was characteristic of royal policy in both England and Francia during the ninth through eleventh centuries, collected both as tributary, to buy off the attackers, and as stipendiary, to pay the defensive forces. The term danegeld did not appear until the late eleventh century. In Anglo-Saxon England tribute payments to the Danes was known as gafol and the levy raised to support the standing army, for the defense of the realm, was known as heregeld (army-tax).
Hope so
I admit it; I was convinced she was not a spoof account.
Then, the comments.
Gets about a bit don’t she ?
I wonder how much kerosene she’s personally caused to be burned in the last 12 months and can we make her pay for consequent waste of useful Oxygen?
Somebody probably did recognise her as that useless waste of space who is a complete hypocrite and never off social media whilst maintaining the pretence of “right on saving the planet man!”
He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”
Might run this by a fact checker.

Guest, there’s a programme that was misnamed from the start. Most of the pics that I have seen on the BBC web-site (and it is a BBC programme) show the actors and actresses looking exceedingly miserable.

Although slavery is recognized as being illegal around the world by international treaties and conventions, evidence has shown that there is still existing slavery in Yemen, and the number of slaves is in fact growing. Slavery affects and inhibits many basic human rights, and was specifically abolished by Yemen in 1962. That slavery is alleged to still exist is a major human rights issue.

Just seen a trailer for Red nose day on the bBBC (Mrs Voter is watching His Dark Materials). Can’t wait to not see all those so called comedians giving up their time. Most of them will not have gigs anywhere a normal person would wish to see.
Where does the money go?
Money raised through Red Nose Day provides grants to support programs that ensure children who are living in poverty are safe, healthy and educated. Half of the money supports programs in America across all 50 states and Puerto Rico; the other half supports programs internationally in some of the poorest communities in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
We work with a range of Grantee Partners who deliver these programs on the ground. You can find out more about the amazing programs we support at RedNoseDay.org/impact.
https://rednoseday.org/faq#:~:text=Where%20does%20the%20money%20go,are%20safe%2C%20healthy%20and%20educated.
Half of our funds are granted to programs within all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico and the remaining half support some of the most under-resourced communities in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
https://rednoseday.org/impact
Gender Equity
Our approach to poverty reduction takes into account the historic marginalization of women and girls, as well as harmful gender norms and pressures that have affected both boys and girls.
Racial Equity
Children of color have been unduly impacted by the effects of poverty, and our grant-making strategy considers the intersectionality of race with economic disenfranchisement.
Elevating the Most Impacted Populations
The voices of those closest to key challenges must be uplifted, and at the forefront of shaping sustainable solutions. That’s why Red Nose Day is working to partner with nonprofit organizations led and staffed by people from the communities being served.
Building Resilience
We are committed to supporting programs that strengthen children and families’ capacity to recover from the effects of poverty and build more resilient communities.

An item on Palestinian demonstrations marking Nakba Day referred to “thousands of Palestinians leaving their homes” following the declaration of the State of Israel. Two listeners complained that this gave a misleading impression of the scale of Palestinian displacement and the extent to which it was the result of coercion. The complaint was partly upheld.
