    Loads of coverage about Hancock and his Covid (mis)handling.

    It’s as if they want to take our attention away from something else which they are (mis)handling.

      Hancock is claiming that the release of the texts he sent a journalist during COVID is a massive betrayal and a breach of trust.

      As if we needed it, it’s another example of what a complete idiot this man is. Journalists are scum who must never be trusted to either keep a confidence or represent the truth.

      Every single one is an activist. At the DT, they are mostly misandrists and Trump haters these days.

      I see this one has gone straight to the BBC. Like the grey-faced boring tw@t who took the knee on GB news.

    EG I disagree – Oakeshott is shaking the tree on the conduct of those buffoons ( nut nut %) and putting pressure on the white wash inquiry to deliver something ….

    NI will never be fixed without a hard border and that will never happen because Sinn Fein IRA will start killing big style again .

    I really hope Oakeshott has more material for the rest of the week .
    And maybe Hancock will be less likely to send her messages at 0120 ……

      Interesting in professional standards terms.

      But thick is as thick gets written about.

      Goes to the ‘new form of establishment concoction’. Perfected by one Campbell. A.

      So I see politicians can’t be bothered with media stiffing their bubble if it serves or is not them, and media can’t be bothered with each other blocking or banning for equally venal reasons.

      It simply means truth gets further mistrusted or obscured.

I see she has sent out a tweet fishing for people to give a story because rents are too high and shortage of rental properties. So when I see an item on Look North on high rents and lack of properties I will know what the agenda is.

    Looks like the new NI agreement is a con and a whitewash

    According to a Barrister on GBNews the new NI agreement is nothing more than a thin legal overlay on the existing NI protocol, the Barrister suggested that the agreement should still be named “The Protocol”. If anything it increases EU powers over NI and the UK.

    There was also the revelation that the UK has been sued seven times by the EU since Brexit. I don’t know in what Court but possibly the Court of Justice of the EU.

    So much for Brexit.

    From the DT – the happy demise of R2

    STARTS On Friday March 3, Ken Bruce will present his final show for Radio 2. Given that he’s the station’s most popular presenter, you’d think his bosses at the BBC would have wanted to keep him on air as long as possible.

    But no. Instead, he says, they have brought forward his departure by a whole month. It is as if they can’t shove him out of the door fast enough.

    Leaving the BBC may have been his decision. But bringing forward his final show is a shabby way to treat someone who’s served Radio 2 for 31 years. It suggests that his bosses don’t have an awful lot of respect for him.

    Still, perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. Because frankly, I doubt they have much respect for his listeners, either.

    Just look at what they’ve been doing to Radio 2 lately. It’s becoming unrecognisable. First, the much-loved Steve Wright, 68, was replaced by Scott Mills – who’s a whopping 19 years his junior. Now Bruce, 72, is being replaced by Vernon Kay – who is almost a quarter of a century younger than him.

    And it’s not just the presenters who are changing. The music is, too. One morning last year, I was taken aback to hear Radio 2 play a string of songs by Supergrass, Robert Miles, Everything But the Girl, Sonique, Ultra Naté – all from the 1990s, when I was young.

    But hang on, I thought. Wasn’t Radio 2 meant to be for people quite a lot older than me? People of, well, Bruce’s age? Wouldn’t they prefer to hear songs from their own youth, the 1960s?

    Why was Radio 2 playing music for me, a mere whippersnapper of 42?

    The answer, of course, was obvious. It was playing younger music because it wanted younger listeners. Or, to put it another way: it no longer wanted older listeners.

    That’s certainly the view of Paul O’Grady, who left Radio 2 last summer at the age of 67. “They’re trying to aim for a much younger audience, which doesn’t make sense,” he complained this week. “Radio 2 was always for an older audience.”

    Trevor Dann – the former head of BBC Music Entertainment – puts it even more bluntly. BBC “modernisers”, he claimed last year, want to transform Radio 2 from an “old high-street boozer” to a hipster bar. “In the world of audience research,” he explained, “listeners are nowhere near as important as potential listeners. I’ve even heard older loyalists described as ‘the wrong kind of listeners’.”

    Reading quotes like those, the existing audience must feel as if it is not just Bruce who is being told to leave early. It’s them, too. “Ah, Mrs Jenkins. Do sit down. Now, I understand that you’ve been listening to us since 1993.”

    “Yes, I think it must be something like that. I just love Radio 2.”

    “I see. Well, I won’t beat around the bush. We’re very grateful for your many years of service. But we’ve decided to take Radio 2 in a different direction. So I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go.”

    “Let me go?”

    “Yes, that’s right. We’re not going to be keeping you on as a listener. Your notice period is three months, but, in the circumstances, we think it’s in everyone’s interests if we bring your departure date forward. Therefore your final day of listening to Radio 2 will be this Friday. Anyway, thanks again. Goodbye. Samantha, could you send in the next old biddy, please?”

    Listening figures suggest that older people are already taking the hint. In the fourth quarter of last year, Radio 2 lost more than half a million listeners.

    Meanwhile, Greatest Hits Radio – the so-called “golden oldies” station to which Ken Bruce is moving – gained more than a million. Which just goes to show: if you want to increase your audience, don’t go younger. Go older.

    Eventually, I suspect, Radio 2’s bosses will realise this – and regret their betrayal of the old. Because I doubt that my generation will fall for this patronising attempt to suck up to us. As far as we’re concerned, Radio 2 will always be a station for older people. So these impatient bosses will just have to wait until we’re older people, too.

    But by then, no doubt, they won’t want us any more.ENDS

    After Brian Matthew died so did R2 for me . R3 figures are dropping because of woke crap …

    So not long to go before BBC radio dies …..

    Hancock Covid matters.
    Let’s face it, the total over-reaction to Covid was the result of mass hysteria created by the public sector and the BBC. The “Scientists” decided that the easiest way to defeat Covid was that society was to be closed down completely, obviously not a practical solution. PM Johnston decided, in the face of BBC/MSM demands, that it was easier to lock down than be called a murderer.
    When it came to locking down care homes, what were the choices? Very few really. You’re talking about old people, many partly disabled and many with dementia with intensive needs. It wasn’t practical to send them to unfamiliar impersonal centres even if they had Covid so why even bother to test them?

    Isabel Oakeshott seems to be a “nice” lady, not content with picking up a wad from Matt Hancock as his ghost writer, she goes shopping to the newspapers to sell her story.

    The BBC of course are focusing on her claim regarding “menacing messages” from Mr Hancock when he found out. (They do love a victim, especially if female!)

    Read the actual messages and like me you will struggle to see anything remotely “menacing” in them.

    No concern whatsoever from the BBC that this “lady” blatantly betrayed and abused the trust in her position to make some extra cash from the Newspapers.

      If Oakeshott gets paid by the Telegraph for the information she has (by whatever means) then it’s fair pay for a rare honest day’s journalism work, no?

      I’m still pleased the Telegraph paid for the MPs’ expenses files.

      There is a proviso that we know the regime is not beyond placing the odd deliberate strategic leak – did we ever find out who leaked the saucy Hancock smooch video? Of course not.

    Labour attacks Sir Gavin Williamson over teachers ‘insult’ in leaked texts (BBC)

    Turns out an insult is saying something we were all thinking: Gavin Williamson’s claims teachers were looking for an “excuse” not to work during the pandemic… (BBC)

    That October, Sir Gavin announced that A-level exams would be delayed by several weeks, a shorter period than some teaching unions had called for.

    “Cracking announcement today,” wrote Mr Hancock to Sir Gavin. “What a bunch of absolute arses the teaching unions are.”

    Sir Gavin replied: “I know they really really do just hate work.”

    Bridget Phillipson, Labour’s shadow education secretary, said: “The Conservatives have shown us today exactly how much they value our teachers.” (BBC)

      Back to Basics was a political campaign announced by British Prime Minister John Major at the Conservative Party conference of 1993 in Blackpool.

      Though it was intended as a nostalgic appeal to traditional values such as “neighbourliness, decency, courtesy”, the campaign was widely interpreted in the media as a campaign for socially conservative causes such as the traditional family. It became the subject of ridicule when a succession of Conservative politicians were caught up in scandals.

    Of interest is the fact that the BBC re-published this 2022 denial of radicalising the bomber by the boss of the mosque for a short spell just before the release of today’s report. Just to plant the seed of doubt that the mosque was in any way out of order. Classic BBC defence of mohamidanism

    Here if the link to the BBCs 2022 republished piece.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-60911384

    ”A mosque has denied accusations of promoting violence and radicalisation by a lawyer representing victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.
    Didsbury Mosque, where bomber Salman Abedi worshipped, claimed it had been “demonised” since the attack.
    John Cooper QC accused the mosque of failing to confront extremism earlier this month at the inquiry into the atrocity.
    The mosque said it had been placed in danger of extremist reprisals.
    A spokesman said it had been a victim of “smearing and demonisation by some at the inquiry and in the media”.
    It mentioned an arson attack at the mosque in September which was investigated by police as a hate crime.
    “We became aware of discussions on social media about ‘a solution’ to the problem of Didsbury Mosque, namely, to blow it up,” the spokesman said.
    While Abedi did attend the mosque, no evidence was found that he was radicalised there.”

    The report on the Manchester bombing is out, and is predicatably ‘establishment’ placing the majority of the blame on the security services – who have lets face it taken their eye off the ball concentrating on those “far Right” threats to the establishment such as Jacob Rees Mogg ! (and if you think this is a joke go look it up).

    But the hobbled author does note that the hotbed of terrorist activism that is Didsbury Mosque was guilty of “wilfull blindness” in regard to Salman Abedi.

    Now let us see if the media report that in their scribblings.

    Being an extablishment figure and completely blinkered by that, he was incapable of telling the truth which was that the bombing was facilitated by fear of the word “racism” and the hysterical over reaction bosses have for their white underlings accused of this.

    If people had been free to point the finger at Abedi without the fear of some left wing malefactor pointing the finger at them, then he might well have been arrested prior to his murderous actions.

    We know this happens because we were told of it being a major cause behind the numerous pakistani Muslim gang rapes not being investigated andn the cowardly useless incompetent far Left Tories who promised to do something about it, instead doubled down and made it even worse.

    I know you will be all excited with the news here that the BBC has decided to allow Huw Edwards to work during the Kings Coronation. He was nominated (2022) for a Knighthood so they wont give him the push until AFTER King Charles Coronation * (anyone now over ’55’ now gets the chop at BBC towers).

    But also take a look at the bottom of this same article and you can see that the BBC radio ‘have ‘overwhelmingly’ decided to go on Strike over the Coronation period for the planned closure of local radio stations. All BBC news is now made at BBC HQ (in Camden in London) so no real need for any ‘regional news’. That includes ‘Countryfile’ – in case you were wondering. Plastic Cows are due soon on how to attach ‘nappies’ to reduce Methane ‘emissions’ are also expected to feature strongly, that and Veganism and the joys of bug burgers…

    No surprise there that the BBC are also going on strike. I do hope so!!

    How grateful we all are for this generous BBC offer! I am sure we will flock to the BBC for this exclusive offer. (while stocks last). A BBC TV license increase due soon in 2023, no doubt!

    Finally I learn that the fearful BBC journalists (due to go on strike) are busy apologising – for being the last century elite ‘slave owners’ of Grenada. This was when it was more ‘fashionable’ than it is now. So victim support in progress for those involved (all of them)… and a ‘once only’ generous offer of £100,000 to pay for 10,000 slaves and six sugar plantations. Oh! how the rich live in Cornwall.

    Very aggressive ‘interview’ from Robinson this morning questioning Oakeshott’s motives and morals….not something he’d do with any person of the lefty persuasion revealing information in the ‘public interest’.

    Remarkable how uninterested in the actual contents the BBC is….it has four stories on the frontpage….two are about Oakeshott, one about Gavin Williamson insulting teachers and one attacking the old enemy Rees-Mogg for receiving test kits for his kids….seems a very selective choice of stories.

    The BBC nowhere as hysterical as they were during lockdown when they launched heavyweight attacks again and again on the government’s performance…but now we have a crucial insight into the decision making…tumbleweed…suddenly a complete lack of interest from the national broadcaster…other than to downplay it and put the defence for Hancock whilst attacking Oakeshott.

    And you have to ask why being critical of lockdown should be a mark against you in the BBC’s eyes and mean you cannot talk about the government’s perfromance…unlike the ardently pro-lockdown BBC which tries to hijack and control the narrative, silencing the critics like Oakeshott.

    The BBC is doing a hatchet-job on Oakeshott….attacking and trying to discredit her in order to silence her and rubbish the story. So much for an unbiased, honest and moral broadcaster.

    The BBC don’t seem at all interested in the story of the criminal Ernesto Elliott whose deportation was blocked by the usual luvvies and lefty politicians.

    He subsequently went on to murder a man.

    Those beeding-heart liberals have blood on their hands.

    They deserve to be exposed and held to account. A few in the photo below, but in all there were 60 of the useful idiots. Or rather useless idiots. Readers might like to add some of their names below, to shame them – if they had any shame.

    Thursday afternoon and the BBC

    More attacks on Isabel Oakeshott ( media show )
    Non reporting on the Islamic mass murder in Manchester
    Move on from the dead baby

    I haven’t listened to the ‘media show ‘ but it was a list approved guests spouting approved view – False Trump Claims – the first federal claims that the covid Chinese virus was Chinese …

    The longer I listened the more poisonous it sounded .

    I recall that the Chinese lab story was rubbished by the bbc – but now … Obama Biden approves it – so must be true .

    No sign of bbc fact checkers on this show …

    .. the bbc want the Oakeshott career dead .

    As for the Manchester inquiry – Muslims not a word mentioned – nor Islam .so I think it was green crap mass Murder .

    The truth ? – I think there are so many Muslim terrorists ready to go that the security agencies can’t see the wood for the trees and have go after the most likely to kill – the Manchester player was presumably a mid table championship type and not a group planning an immediate ( londonistan ) attack as usual …..

    In the BBC news the racism in cricket crap comes at number 4 – surely it’s far more important than wrecking the economy with covid or mass killing over 25 men women and children .

    The Manchester report will be gone by midnight – look away – blame the security service – not the evil bastard who did it – and his corrupt false religion .

      The primacy of European Union law (sometimes referred to as supremacy or precedence of European law[1]) is a legal principle establishing precedence of European Union law over conflicting national laws of EU member states.

      The principle was derived from an interpretation of the European Court of Justice, which ruled that European law has priority over any contravening national law, including the constitution of a member state itself.[2][3][4] For the European Court of Justice, national courts and public officials must disapply a national norm that they consider not to be compliant with the EU law.

      Yes. To confirm that the local wildlife are thriving down under.
      Polar wildlife was thriving in 2022
      “Indeed, contrary to all expectations, critical Antarctic winter sea ice has been increasing since 1979. While sea-ice experts have long voiced concerns that computer models of future Antarctic sea ice coverage are seriously flawed, biologists concerned about the future of ice-dependent emperor penguins and Antarctic krill have continued to use them to justify alarmist predictions.”

      BBC exaggeration to Save the Planet nonsense.

    5pm bbc news – lots of big news – but they spend about 10 minutes on brats in school ‘demonstrating’ … schools should just be able to throw them out permanently – then the parent ( if there is one ) can pay for private education …..

    On GBN they are discussing ‘is the countryside racist’ (yawn…yes, I know)

    Of course it’s not.
    You only have to watch things like All creatures great and small or Vera to see that for well over 50 years the Countryside and all those living there harmoniously are 50% black and the rest white.
    There’s no racist trouble at all although the whites are a bit common and a bunch of rogues but they all learn their lessons before the end of the hour.

    Phew.
    Sigh of relief at the BBC and all through Leftoidland.

    The Manchester Arena bombing was nothing to do with Muslim extremists and the ideology of radical Islam and everything to do with MI5 deciding not to follow up leads ( which, had they been wrong, would certainly have opened them up to charges of wayyyycism).

    Trebles all round. Non-alcoholic of course.

    Been in Scotland, in the highlands for a few days,
    Haven’t seen a single BAME.
    This clearly shows the country is totally racist and not ‘reaching out’ to ethnic minorities who would benefit from time in rural Scotland rather than in Tower Hamlets and elsewhere.
    Clearly it is not enough for the Scottish tourist board to advertise only in English and Gaelic.

    Bring on the Marxist campaign. Now.

    LMFAO as the dopey Tory Party suddenly realise the woman in charge of the partygate probe has resigned and been given a job by Kier Starmer as chief of staff of the Labour party.

    The Tories would have to be mentally derranged if they didn’t know beforehand she was a Labour party apparatchik and agreed to her oversight in full knowledge of that fact.

    Hadn’t realised until today that ISOBEL OAKSHOTT is the partner of RICHARD TICE – Leader of the Reform Party. (he left his wife to shack up with Oakshott in 2018). Now, in light of recent events the publicity is not good for the future chances of the RP.

      I think there is a subtext for the rabid hostility from the BBC – see my ‘today ‘ comment about comrade Robinson at about 0730 Uk time ….

      Oakeshott is ‘unapproved ‘ and top of the cancellation Target list – as well as a kicking from OFCOM Steyn style .

      I think it is sad and almost unbelievable that I write about my country slipping into a totalitarian system where ‘challenge ‘ is becoming unacceptable …

    Our fellow citizens seem to be having a break from endless candle lit vigils and flower placing, and are lighting their torches and dusting off their pitchforks.
    Constance Marten is the target.
    Forget any notion of innocence until proved guilty.
    I can’t help thinking the baby might be alive if the police, Napier Marten ( girls estranged father) and creepy BBC hadn’t started this weird ” missing persons”, highly publicised, nationwide animal hunt eight weeks ago.
    The unlikeable couple would then have just continued to stay in hotels and holiday accommodations.
    Mothers do hide if they think someone is coming for their baby.

    Report on the Arena bombing.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-64815723
    From the BBC
    ”The report also found that while Didsbury Mosque in south Manchester, where the Abedi family worshipped, was not an active factor in the brothers’ radicalisation, politicisation did happen there.
    Sir John said “there was a form of wilful blindness” to some activities, and “weak leadership”.
    Didsbury Mosque chairman Fawzi Haffar told the BBC he disagreed with Sir John and added: “The chairman can say whatever he wants.
    “The chairman has not been to the mosque, none of the lawyers have been to the mosque, they don’t know the workings of the mosque.”

    _____________________
    So why did no one from the inquiry visit the mosque? Scared of being islamophobic?
