It’s also clear that the low level of public trust in the media is well-founded. Journalists behaved like activists.

BBC NOISE (formerly known as BBC News) – Race is front and centre – #2
Apparently the James Bond creator, author Ian Fleming, is the latest to face the bowdlerisers. ‘Racist’ words and words and phrases that some might consider to be racist are being excised and replaced by ‘less offensive’ words and phrases. The thought occurs just now ‘Will the bowdlerisers do the same to the films?’
The examples given, which I can no longer remember, were laughable. Obviously pathetic.
This headline is misleading. She would avoid her own Twitter account to dodge the abuse, understandably, not shut down the entire service, but I think you knew that, @BBCNews.

This is a Labour Councillor. He is: a) urging criminalisation of pupils for allegedly scuffing a book; b) by word 'desecration', implies this is a special,untouchable book & damaging it is an act of blasphemy. Consequences – stirring up community tensions. So much for tolerance https://t.co/tUjW91Iao8

Pakistan: man sentenced to death for blasphemy on Facebook

Blasphemy laws were abolished in England and Wales in 2008.
Are Labour now calling for their reinstatement?
Is it one of their vote-winning ‘missions’?
You can’t “desecrate” a book. You’re not living in Pakistan. Of course, if you’d like to…
I’m far more concerned that they’re “desecrating” indigenous books by decent British authors like Roald Dahl, than some kid has scrawled graffiti on this half-witted Arabic gobbledegook.

Wow! The BBC is really racist and is banging on about it at every opportunity. I gave up listening to Alexandre Dumas’s ‘Georges’, a story about Isle de France and the wicked slave owning, racist, British who took over the island that we know as Mauritius, not the Isle de France in Paris. There had be a ‘woke’ racist part to this radio play and this was done by having occasional two-way conversations between the Producer and the person who just happens to be BAME and is responsible for the adaption.
The far Left are not only immensely stupid with their hate-filled statements, but also incredibly racist too, as demonstrated by this crazy attack on @NikkiHaley
"White female" had about 80% of the votes. I did some stuff around the house and then came back and checked the results, and the percentage had dipped to around 55%. What happened? Apparently @elonmusk had liked the poll, and 10,000 new people had voted — mostly for "white male."
A new war, supported by the twisted media waged by the usual suspects on “incels”, the new bogeyman of the distorted harridans of weirdos.
Incels are normal heathy young men with a realistic view of life. In other words they don’t want to wear dresses or makeup thus being quite normal male youngsters, The LBGT mafia cannot countenance this….They must be eliminated to allow the perverted bandwagon to roll on.
Scott Adams seems surprisingly confident as the entire TMI rages.
Easy to see why.
Wow. Check out how the fake New York Times TOTALLY rewrote the opening paragraph because the original version was too honest. The changes are Orwellian. A case study in Fake News. https://t.co/cS5I8MJ6WQpic.twitter.com/NS7mQiY7JB
The manipulation of US politics by billionaire crooks was inevitably going to involve the Mexicans… there have been aiui Columbians tinkering with California politics for some years.

Typical working class working car driver in the UK who use their car for work and pleasure will consume around 20kg of fuel per week. Or around 1 tonne of fuel per year.
A one-way flight from the UK to the US consumes around 5 tonnes of fuel PER PASSENGER….
A flight to a holiday resort say in the Middle East will consume around 2 TONNES of fuel per passenger, both ways.
The electric car manufacturers are selling cars with no realistic future as the tipping point for any realistic charging capability is massively overwhelmed and at a profit margin of more than twice that of comparable Petrol or Diesel engined cars,
We are being shafted by the wealthy by the means of the green blackmail tactics.
When the great and good realise that the public have realised this they will simply move to ban or massively tax traditionally fuelled vehicles to eliminate any opposition to their new milk cows!
Run out of time on that post, however my point being that the threat to our civilisation in the West comes not from people like Putin but from the well-heeled patrons in fancy restaurants in London and New York who’s greed is at the expense of every ordinary Joe on this planet. Hence people like Bill Gates constantly blustering away…. It’s a new Global Mafia….

“Why did the French go into it (European Union) then?”
“To protect their inefficient farmers from commercial competition.”
“That certainly doesn’t apply to the Germans?”
“No,no,no. They went in it (EU) to cleanse themselves of genocide and reapply themselves for admission to the human race.”
