If the BBC ran this story, they would certainly mention ‘far-right’ in the article but definitely not ‘muslim’.
They would do that so the casual reader mentally associates 40,000 terrorists with the far-right. Though they would not explicitly say that.
Because that’s the way they lie without lying a hundred times a day.

Its a disgrace to all those that once lost their lives defending our nation.
We are being run by a government that puts illegal invaders in front of the people of Great Britain. We are a sovereign nation that is need a competent leader and a competent government .
Do we still have any Tories on this site ?

https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2023/03/29/landlords-will-be-forced-to-spend-thousands-to-meet-net-zero-targets/
We are reluctant landlords, due to complications on title after a parent in a property on our grounds passed.
Since then we have been mostly ok, breaking even, with a couple of nightmares clearly from the Jeremy Corbyn school of entitlement.
Our latest is, fingers crossed, good, and after a year we decided to hold the rent as an encouragement to stay, despite rising costs across the board. Keeps the council/utility costs off our back (an interesting imposition if upgrade costs were an issue, as this would force many into debt) and the place lived in and ticking over.
However, if this little fun pack gets added we will simply have to hike, essentially passing the costs on, if bearing the amortisation burden.
If it proves unsustainable we will need to look at selling.
If it proves unsustainable we will need to look at selling.
They’ve thought of that. A well-placed source of mine advises that the long term plan is to make it a legal requirement that any property being sold meets these conditions, too. But fear not – there will be a grace period of 5-10 years when unsuitable properties can be sold, albeit it will have to be at a heavy discount. There’s a reason that the likes of Blackrock have moved into the housing market, plus it will stop the ordinary folk from passing on property (=wealth) to their offspring.
Remember: You will own nothing and be happy.
You are lucky Guest Who. We own an old farm cottage which we let. We spent £30k on it just before lockdown improving insulation putting it into band D. A stone kitchen floor and a propane gas supply as it is off grid leaves it there. The estimate of the cost by the chap who assessed it for its certificate was only another £120,000 to lift it into band c otherwise we can very shortly have to leave it empty. As more rented properties are taken off the market, rents will become so high that all tenants will be in arrears or homeless.

Is this guy a stooge for Putin?
Paul O’Grady suddenly died unexpectedly but peacefully. Paul O’Grady was having problems with his heart. In his final intervew he said “I’d had all the jabs, but it just finished me off”. O’Grady said he got severe and long COVID after his third jab. O’Grady’s cousin Maureen died in 2021. O’Grady said: “Maureen was only four years older than me and she went to bed and didn’t wake up”.
Evidence from Switzerland, Australia and studying the hearts of American pilots prove that all people who received mRNA jabs have slight to major heart damage. The very large excess deaths observed from the data imply that the mortality risk/benefit ratio from COVID injections is very high. That is, the harm or risk realized has far outweighed any benefit from COVID injections: https://thewhiterose.uk/freedom/uploads/2023/02/AustralianIatrogenicCOVIDPandemic.pdf
Stop the Death Jab: https://thewhiterose.uk/say-no/
One for BBCOFCOM and
its’bitch - Matthew Sweet -The risk/benefit ratio is infinity. Why? There is no SARS-CoV-2. I suggest you watch some Sam Bailey stuff or Tom Cowan. If people understood what these ‘virologists’ meant by isolation they would not believe you. That is how the trick works. They hide it in plain sight. They are coming now with the next one. My money is on the avian flu, as they have been destroying billions of chickens across the world over the last couple of years after testing them positive with their fraudulent PCR assay.
kingkp, try and explain to all those people who died in 2002 and 2003 and 2004 and to their relatives that there is no SARS-CoV-1 & 2 a.k.a. Chicken ‘flu’ and Bird ‘flu’.
@Richard I think he stacked the odds against himself, the jabs + two heart attacks + refused to stop smoking + family history of deaths from heart problems. Probably had DEATH following him for quite a while.
Richard, then there are the athletes who have had heart problems or dropped dead, esp. in the USA, although one of the recent AFL/NFL incidents followed a helmet impact to the chest of another player.

Someone in the BBC must have shares in Hatrick Productions – the viewing figures must be dire – I think I stopped watching about 20 years plus ago ….
But viewing figures are of no matter to an outfit which pretends to be ‘non commercial ‘ when it wants to …

I too stopped watching years and years ago.
I used to think the participants were genuinely witty. Then I found out they are given the questions beforehand and have hours to think up their “off the cuff quips”.

The last time I watched this pair on YT, I noticed (you couldn’t miss it), the body language of Mercouris who was all out for condemning Ukraine and the West for supplying them. It was all to do with ‘major’ advances on the Russian side and how individual operations were succeeding very successfully toward a victory. Mercouris was obviously very uncomfortable with having to lie with the Russian propaganda he had been fed.
I concluded the pair must be on Putins pay list.
G – still flying the Ukranian flag then
Try watching summit different although he could also be one of Putin’s stooges:
Yawn. Nice red tie……………..
He concludes, the West is failing and, summarising, should throw the towel in.

Jeremy Corbyn says he regrets calling Hamas and Hezbollah ‘friends’
This article is more than 6 years old
Labour leader tells home office select committee that with hindsight he would not have used same phrase
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/04/jeremy-corbyn-says-he-regrets-calling-hamas-and-hezbollah-friends
Hamas is a militant Islamist movement that was established in 1987, following the first Palestinian intifada. Its ideology is related to that of the Muslim Brotherhood combined with Palestinian nationalism. Its main aims are to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation, the establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia law and the destruction of Israel (although Hamas no longer demands the destruction of Israel in its Covenant). The group operates in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Hamas formally established Hamas IDQ in 1992. Hamas IDQ was proscribed by the UK in March 2001. At the time it was HM government’s assessment that there was a sufficient distinction between the so called political and military wings of Hamas, such that they should be treated as different organisations, and that only the military wing was concerned in terrorism. The government now assess that the approach of distinguishing between the various parts of Hamas is artificial. Hamas is a complex but single terrorist organisation.

Might be why they also have so few as an audience.
I watched a video on Youtube where a black American
professor was articulating at a school’s parents, teachers ,
governor’s meeting in a school. Why it was so wrong for teachers
to indoctrinate 7 -10 year old children with ” Critical Race , Theory ” at the school.
He spoke about the foundations which originate in anarchist
Marxist doctrine. When these extremists realised they could never get rid of western democratic values at the ballot box .
They turned to subterfuge. Using fifth columnists university
lecturers to help do their bidding for them. And in two
generations they have succeeded in spreading their virus
all across the USA . And of course the Atlantic was no barrier
to stop the virus reaching our shores.
The paradox of this in the USA is that 23 out of 24 of the largest
cities in the USA now have black local government. And the
plight of the black population in education is worse than it was in the 1950’s
The purpose of CRT is to destroy capitalism and to make white folk ,far from having privilege . Go down on their knees and
beg for forgiveness for the crimes of their ancestors. But
not only that . They should rid themselves of any wealth they have in reparations.
The leaders of this subterfuge in the UK . Is amongst others are
the BBC. I expect before long the rest of the BBC’S output
will follow the blatant presentation and programming of
the London Programme on BBC. TV, where you could be watching news on a parallel to
TV news from any extreme Marxist country.

BBC loves this trannie thing – which I neither understand nor want to . It seems that schools are ‘counselling’ kids on changing gender without referencing something called a ‘parent ‘ .
Comrade Robinson spent 15 minutes on this with – unusually – 2 interviewees . Okay it was early in the day but I was no better informed on the issue afterward . This might be a good thing .
Let’s face it – if kids are screwed up then encouraging them to undergo some form of ‘sex change ‘ ain’t gonna improve things is it ?
No wonder there’s more mental cases …
Salty Cracker (NSFW) commentary on the topic…
In my direct experience of people in my workplace messing with testosterone in particular the drugs used in this space (is there even one trans “man” who isn’t munching it?) are psychoactive and that manifests in aggression that causes what I describe as “small yappy dog syndrome” where combativeness is the default setting for everything.
Salty is one of my favourites. Often incandescent with rage at the woke insanity going on, but funny too.

TOADY Watch #1 – you are talking rubbish and the BBC Business Correspondent doesn’t correct you!
During the first half-hour of TOADY Sean Farrington was talking with Dan Brady (hope I remembered the first name correctly) who was from BlackRock, the US investment management corporation, (I assume in the UK) who claimed that the recent interest rate rises were because the UK was producing too much and the economy was overheating because it was producing too much.
Mr Brady, if you are demonstrative of the quality of the investment team at BlackRock, then BlackRock is about to fail. Inflation comes about when there is a scarcity of a good and too much money chases a scarce good and definitely not when an economy of a country is producing too much! What is more worrying, from the BBC point of view is that Sean Farrington, BBC Radio Business Correspondent(!) did not know enough about the basic economics of business to correct Mr Brady.
Up2
Maybe he meant ‘producing too much money ‘ ….. I can’t see any way that inflation will be controlled this year – the pressure on personal finances – increasing costs – must mean a government change .
But as this is getting more ‘real ‘ the prospect of even higher taxes by red Labour gets really frightening ….
Fed, ” I can’t see any way that inflation will be controlled this year ” I think you have evidence that Jeremy Hunt is in the wrong job is in pole position on the front page of your Daily Telegraph this morning. Hunt has exempted the haulage industry from some of the increased taxes placed on the rest of motorists but where those motorists have power to ask or even award themselves an inflationary pay rise then they will.
Hunt would be far better at Health where he could be finishing people off er, I mean where he could be ending the Junior Doctors strikes – a battle he has fought and won before. So I agree with you that inflation will go on rising. It could be that the Conservatives see leaving chronic inflation behind is ‘a poison pill’ for an incoming Labour Government but there is no guarantee, imv, that Labour will win the next General Election.
Fed, yes producing too much money, especially State debt as well as personal debt, is another cause of overheating an economy. Forgot to post that above. Maybe we should ask the Ukrainians for a ‘sub’ and no, I do not mean a submarine?

Nazis …. In Mecca, only Muslims are allowed, while non-Muslims may not enter or pass through. Attempting to enter Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in penalties such as a fine; being in Mecca as a non-Muslim can result in deportation.
The anti-ULEZ have been penetrated by nazis is a standard smear tactic by the little khant and antifa.
They tried the same trick in Cranebridge where several thousand folk (mostly old codgers like me) were protesting the congestion charge.
We had a bunch of antifa turn up handing out leaflets suggesting we had been penetrated by nazis. The average age of these twats was about 12 and since they were all wearing muzzles it was pretty easy to identify them and take the piss. Seeing them hyper-ventilating in their muzzles when accused of being ageist was brilliant.
BTW has the wife of the little khant being giving him black-eyes because it looks like it.

Unfortunately Labour will be even more ridiculous
Net zero is a fantasy, even if it mattered. I saw that they are talking about large scale carbon capture this morning. The technology exists but is very expensive to implement, it will result in manufactured goods and energy becoming even more expensive. Where do they get these buffoons from?
How about ‘net zero’ illegal immigration? That would be an election winner for The Reform Party.

Ever decreasing circles and support for homosexuality edition
One doesn’t tend to credit the French with much these days but perhaps we do owe some thanks to those street protesting, teargas lobbing, vehicle burning gaulois for this minor climbdown: State pension age rise to 68 will not be brought forward yet (BBC)
Parliament – especially post-Brexit – is the sovereign law maker. The sudden draconian imposition of Lockdowns ought to have reminded us of this. And so it irks this observer to read guff of this sort: By law the government is required to examine planned changes to the system every six years (BBC) – No! That is an example of the alien Blairite notion that parliamentary law makers can constrain or bind future parliaments. Nonsense. What this really amounts to is MPs giving themselves convenient excuses for what they do or don’t do for us. That’s why our MPs loved the EU. They could deploy the excuse – it’s not me, it’s Brussels. But I digress. I have other deeper digressions to be getting on with.
Ever Decreasing Circles was a 1980s sitcom featuring Richard Briers as Martin Bryce, the rather unsympathetically portrayed obsessive, middle-aged, middle class Englishman at the centre of his local suburban community in Mole Valley, East Surrey.
The Guardian appositely described it as having “a quiet, unacknowledged and deep-running despair to it that in retrospect seems quite daring” (thank you Wiki)
Naturally Guardian types would be rooting for the stuck in the mud Martin’s nemesis – his new next-door neighbour, ex-British Army officer and Cambridge Blue Paul Ryman (Peter Egan). Paul is everything Martin is not – adventurous, laissez-faire, flippant, witty, handsome and charming; in the words of Martin, a “couldn’t care less, come on life … amuse me, merchant” (thank you again Wiki)
If, like the TV character Martin Bryce, you should feel the need to track the value of your ever decreasing pension you might find yourself alighting on the pink pages of the FT.
Before you get to turn to the market numbers the frontpage Datawatch feature will catch your eye and therein you will be told about: Broadminded Britain… % who say the following are justifiable… Homosexuality, Divorce, Abortion, Casual sex… The UK is becoming more liberal according to the latest World Values survey. Since 2008 there has been double-digit increases in tolerance of divorce, abortion and casual sex. Support for homosexuality has also increased.
Support Your Local Sheriff was a 1969 American comedy Western film
Support you local homos? I’ll just tolerate, if you don’t mind.
Evidently it wasn’t only Hoodies that the incoming David Cameron Tories back in 2010 were hugging.
So you see nowadays we’re all supposed to be let it all hang out Paul Rymans and definitely not uptight Martin Bryces.
But oddly, this “couldn’t care less, come on life … amuse me…” attitude comes along with our liberal media fascination with apocalypticism. From the BBC’s: Climate change: World’s top court to weigh in – another notable example of Blairite legalism there… right down market to the comic Daily Star: Sun’s falling to bits… A HUMONGOUS hole the size of 20 Earths has ripped through the sun…
You have to love the purported corollary dread outcome for us earthdwellers: … and could cause havoc with our mobile phones tomorrow (Daily Star) – talk about hitting us where it hurts.
In Ever Decreasing Circles the signature running gag (which appeared in almost every episode) was Martin walking past the telephone in his hallway and turning the receiver around. (kudos oncemore to Wiki)
Interfering with our cell phone reception… how dare the cosmos do such a thing!
Government Emergency Alerts system – what you need to know… The UK government’s new Emergency Alerts system is now live… On Sunday 23 April there will be a national test, which will be received on compatible mobile phone handsets. (Warwickshire Police)
How to turn off the ‘armageddon’ emergency alert texts to your phone… It will see extremely loud alarms go off on devices, accompanied by an alert message… If you wish to unsubscribe for the free service, you can opt out of the system in your phone’s settings, just search for “emergency alerts”, and turn off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’. You can find this under the ‘Notifications’ tab on your iOS device. (Thank you Manchester Evening News)
You know what to do, dear readers.
I don’t even answer phone calls from anybody not in my contacts list so the emergency alert would have no chance. Disabled it.
AISI and Mogs, this HMG ‘initiative’ (dreamt up by a CS as a promotion ploy, no doubt) pre-supposes 1. that you carry a mobile phone at all times, 2. that it is always switched on, and 3. said mobile phone has a good battery life.
‘They’ really haven’t thought this through, have ‘they’?
If I was thinking of attacking Blighty I think I’d choose 23 April -.. but apart from the Islamics I don’t think anyone would bother going for such a burnt out ‘country ‘…
Re the non extension of the pension age toward 70 – I’m surprised they aren’t raising it again . Coupled with a disfunctional ‘health ‘ system it’s the ideal recipe for killing people off before their time – aim to cut life expectancy by 10 years – save a fortune –
– also – all this crap about keeping the over 50s in the ‘workforce ‘ – with huge numbers in public sector pensions schemes -which mean they get there’s before the private sector … maybe red labour will be looking at this when they get power…
… I bet they’ll know how to use an 80 majority …..
Well, they can try, but I’m not sure my Nokia 2310 will cope. I have to charge it once a month, you know.

Your not in government, so just a load of rubbish and no story to see
#LabourSez is a pointless a bbc propaganda piece as it is obvious.
Hello Guest
I often see with the bs corp that their output is deliberately trying to overturn the elected government of the day
Guest and ajs (great motorcycles, make motorcycles great again), I can remember when Blair and Brown during a previous cost of living crisis 2005/2006 onwards, were locking up pensioners for not paying their Council Tax bills.
I remember a quote from one imprisoned OAP woman who said: “It’s great, I’m in a warm cell, have my own TV and I get three meals a day cooked for me.”
I preferred the poll tax.
Man plus 4 wives.
Bins not emptied?
Council tax would be frozen for a year ….
Or bother watching.
It’s a mystery, Ade.
Perhaps because Chiles is a f****** thick clueless brummie.
This made me smile in the Guardian.
An article describing how “polls” show uk folk have more trust in the EU than the UK government…
Obviously a couple of tame probably lefty professors get quoted..
The hilarious bit is right at the bottom where for some reason they show a graph demonstrating that the UK has the second lowest trust in “The Press” of any country in the World!!!
But embarrassing to say the least considering the article preceding it.
Mistake or trying to hide that nugget?

The WEF king and agriculture:

As the centre piece of the coronation ceremony, Charles will swear ‘The Coronation Oath’, essentially pledging his allegiance to the people of Great Britain and to protecting the sovereignty of the country and its traditions.
If Charles does not break his relationship with the World Economic Forum before this point, he will be performing an act of treason. The implications of this are profound.

Antarctic ocean currents heading for collapse- report
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65120327
No ambiguity in the headline. They are heading for collapse.
The article has 8 ‘could’s and 3 ‘suggests’.
“Our modelling shows that if global carbon emissions continue at the current rate, then the Antarctic overturning will slow by more than 40 per cent in the next 30 years – and on a trajectory that looks headed towards collapse,” study lead Professor Matthew England said.
The trickery here is that their MODELLING says it will – but the article implies it is fact. Their modelling can be anything they like which makes their work more critical and gets attention. Just ask Neil Ferguson (who should be in prison for what he did) how that works.
It’s the same all the way through. Briefly introduce something as implied fact based on the models they produced themselves then talk about it as if it IS fact.
As their models cannot predict the weather more than 3 days in advance, I take it all with the same pinch of salt as those continuous predictions since the 70’s which tell us the world will end in 10 years if we don’t give them more money.
And we end it all with some splendid whatifery:
‘The effect of Antarctic meltwater on ocean currents has not yet been factored in to IPCC models on climate change, but it is going to be “considerable”, Prof England said.’
(meaning it’s going to require a lot more funding and BBC interviews)
Ban hollywood?
John as I recall Imperial College were reluctant to release the source code for their modelling, but eventually were pressured into doing so sometime in 2021. Turned out it was 13yr old code originally written to model influenza, not Covid. There were also tells that showed it had been patched up by Microsoft engineers prior to public release — the suggestion being to make it look less awful and save embarrassment.
A good read if you can find it.
“The implication for Ferguson’s work remains clear: the primary model used to justify lockdowns failed its first real-world test.”

I have a regular email circular from an outfit representing IT professionals globally.
Apparently the IT industry, particularly in the US is currently shedding staff at an enormous rate.
It would seem that the economic downturn has been seen as an opportunity to cut away much dead wood by these companies and particularly staff hired purely for reasons of diversity are becoming the ones to hit the road first.
This is happening because many companies who were blackmailed into diversity hire did so because otherwise they would gain bad reputations.
Now however because they can point to all the other companies shedding staff, they can let the people go without incurring kickback.
Lets hope this gains more traction, particularly in the toxic public services which must be stuffed full of token people and hence the parlous financial state many are now in …in particular nt least the NHS!
I own a leasehold flat, the freeholder is a Housing Trust. The Trust is basically an ex Council housing department ported into a Trust. The Trust is run in true Socialist, woke
diverse lines, the ethos is basically public sector. Our “Leasehold Lead”, the person who was our point of contact in the Trust was a black girl who was a pleasant sort but totally out of her depth. I became involved in a service charges dispute with the Trust, it went to the Tribunal and I won. That was probably the trigger for our girl to be made redundant. Her loss is scarcely noticed and her position and hiring should never have happened. It’s typical public sector.
As an aside, the Trust has a policy of hiring ex prisoners as maintenance staff. Just the sort you need visiting old people in their homes. Still, it keeps the red flag flying
Flotsam
I represented someone at a tribunal – in a ‘lay ‘ capacity – it was an experience – it was a club – all known to each other and not prepared for me at my fiercest – we won – it saved the leaseholder £29000 …. No legal fees – a socialist council – at least my studying of land and procedures law wasn’t wasted ….
You’re right about the capability of council staff though – and the corruption of organised sub letting – q jumping – jobs for relatives – just like parliament …
One point I couldn’t argue because I didn’t have proof is that the tendering process was corrupt. I’m sure there was collusion and there seemed to be a certain degree of “steerage” towards a certain contractor.
I bought the property at auction after repossession after a right to buy purchase. The Trust were suggesting there was a £57,000 potential liability for major works. The problem for them was that it had been sold to the previous owner a year before without declaring defects, there is a 5 year rule regarding service charges after right to buy.
What it amounted to is that the Trust were trying to manipulate the value realised at auction and put people off bidding so they could buy it back cheaply.
The Trust are a corrupt shower of bastards
.
Flotsam – I mentioned the demand for’ major works ‘ which has on £29k- 25% of which was ‘admin ‘ …. I was so pleased to win as a number of lease holders – who met in desperation – would have been destroyed if they had to put a charge on the lease to pay off the communist council – many tears were shed .
I only wish I could have got some retribution after I beat the lefty council ….
It’s a racket I’m afraid, a David and Goliath situation. Contesting service charges is a specialised technical activity involving legal know how as well as knowledge of building construction, costing methods etc etc. One can employ Lawyers, QS’s, Surveyors etc but it’s very costly to do so. The facts are that most Solicitors know very little about this area of Law anyway. When I was investigating my own case I found that most Solicitors have poor knowledge of Right to Buy resulting in people paying tens of thousands more for their property than they should have done.
Perhaps the BBC should take an interest instead of pedaling the usual line that people on right to buy are stealing houses from the poor.
There are still many who no doubt trust in the authority of science, that governments really were “driven by the data”, that scientific journals publish only the purist empiricism and pressure groups affecting research outcomes is just a conspiracy theory.
New Scientist, via those jolly philanthropists Club of Rome: “Reducing inequality could see world population fall to 6 billion” […] if the world invested in a “Giant Leap” to reduce poverty and inequality, the world population would peak at around 8.5 billion people in 2040 and decline to 6 billion by the end of the century.”
It’s based on more thinktank modelling, and I seem to remember some bloke also fond of ‘giant leaps’ try to restructure his society a while back. It didn’t end well. Are they even trying to hide it any more?

The Great Leap Forward (Second Five Year Plan) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962. CCP Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people’s communes. Mao decreed that efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside should be increased. Local officials were fearful of Anti-Rightist Campaigns and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao’s exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent “surpluses” and leaving farmers to starve to death. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster which was being caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action. Millions of people died in China during the Great Leap, with estimates ranging from 15 to 55 million, making the Great Chinese Famine the largest or second-largest[1] famine in human history.[2][3][4]

Here is a post which send shivers up my spine to have to post, but I think readers have to be informed and to take notice of this.
Rtd Col MacGregor (USA) says that the Ukrainian army almost 500000 strong and the best equipped in Europe has been all but anihilated.
The European states which backed it have sent what stocks they had and have utterly failed to take seriously the defence of their countries by refusing to rearm or even reorder what was used to supply Ukraine.
Putins army is not advancing because of the condition of the soil which is a quagmire at this time of the year and unsuitable for machanised warfare until around May.
At that point Putin has the chance to rush through Ukraine like a dose of salts and there is precious little anyone can do to stop him.
In fact if he decided to advance all the way to the channel, how would any of the faries on their rainbow unicorns we laughingly refer to as a ‘government’ propose to stop him?
We have tiny reduced armies, and they have enormously reduced capability because we sent their weapons to Ukraine! The only thing we have now is the threat of nuclear anhilation but that would kill everyone.
Here is a prediction. Over the next few weeks you will notice a change in the way the media cover the Ukraine situation from the pro Ukraine propaganda to a more equivocal stance then to resignation as they attempt to de-couple Bidens socialist folly from reality on the ground.
The sheeple will be told a story which they will accept, and most will never question the manipulation, but we as observers and critics of the media get a front row seat to watch them engage in this and it should be of great interest to all of us.
Oh Thoughtful how many retired US colonels and generals must there be ?
The idea of putin doing a Von schliffen? Plan for the third time ? Besides – putin ‘s tanks wouid never get anywhere near the channel because they’d be stopped dead by prospective asylum seekers with the dinghies …..
I’m sure that retired colonel – Provenance ? – knows plenty about the capacity of the Russians / Ukrainians from his armchair ….
…there is always AirPower – and an opportunity for top gun 3 …..
Personally I’d go simpler – who runs out of soldiers first ? The ‘math ‘ would suggest the limit is Ukraine – is there any sign of real dissent against putin? ( don’t know ) …
.. it would be nice to get a sort of ‘objective ‘ read of what’s going on as opposed to pretty crude propaganda …
It’s not the fact that he would do that, but the fact that he could and total incompetent people in charge.
The problem here is that Russia is now in full war mode, factories at capacity reserves all mobilised and West asleep at the wheel.
The thing is to see how the media turn it all around though from a full on charge behind Zelinsky to an acceptance he isn’t going to win without making Biden and Boris look complete idiots.
Thoughtful – thinking about it – if Russia co ordinated its’ interests with China and Taiwan then U.S. / NATO really would have a nose bleed ….
I suppose if Vladimir s aim is to reconstruct the USSR he’d be after the immediate states buffering Russia – but even he has limits to trained people and kit – whether the U.S. could gear up in the same way after 1941 is another issue -even the dirty japs k new that after a year the US wouid be out producing on everything – maybe it’s different now ….
Vladimirs aim is not the reconstruction of the USSR, it’s the Catherine the Great replay and if you recall that led to the Crimean war.
As the video I posted by Willem Middelkoop the worst outcome for the West is Russia / China combined which they now are.
The US can’t outproduce anything now because they fell prey to the globalists and moved all their production to China.
The US knows Ukraine is burning through ammunition at a rate of knots and cannot produce enough to keep up. God help us if there is an invasion because the muppets were more concerned with rainbow unicorns, reparations pronouns and womens lib than they were with defence which they clearly saw as too masculine for their tiny minds.

YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
Full Complaint: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed (May and Corbyn’s old speeches): everything else is public relations.” – Orwell
Theresa May … being put forward as Prime Minister and issuing a general election on implementing Brexit which was about immigration and sovereignty. … these speeches were never mentioned on the BBC £3.5bn news or other media outlets …
1978 … “The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
Jeremy Corbyn … with all the news on BBC £3.5bn Service regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal, Jeremy Corbyn has not been asked why he backs Al Quds protests and has spoken at them or why his is not vocal on Iran’s ‘death to’ position with Israel.
2012 … Jeremy Corbyn speaks at Al Quds march, Al Quds is the protest for all the oppressed but was initiated by an oppressor Ayatollah Khomeini. Jeremy Corbyn does not chastise the Iranian regime.
2018 … Iran release a ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America’ Government approved emoji. But this is not mentioned when talking about Iran by the BBC or other outlets.
MPs expenses …. it was in 2008 that MPs used expenses to fill their own pockets or shredded. UK MPs on both sides have talked about reducing expenses and recession and austerity. Yet, since 2010 MPs have enjoyed a pay increased of 18%. How come the BBC news has not reported on this when talking to MPs?

BBC NONE RESPONSE …
Thank you for getting in touch regarding BBC News.
I understand you have concerns about the integrity of BBC News reporting over the last few years.
BBC News aims to show the political reality and provide a forum for discussion on issues, giving full opportunity for all sides of the debate to be heard and explored. Senior editorial staff within BBC News and the BBC’s Executive Board ensure that editorial guidelines are adhered to.
Our News editors ensure that over a reasonable period of time we reflect the range of significant views, opinions and trends on particular issues, but it’s important to add here that our published Editorial Guidelines explain that not every issue or viewpoint necessarily has to be included in each individual report.
The key point is that the BBC as an organisation has no view or position itself on anything we may report upon – our aim is to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of our audiences.
In dealing with any controversial issue, we are required to give a fair and balanced report, but balance cannot be judged simply on the basis of the amount of time allocated to the representatives of either side of an argument. One spokesperson may make their points concisely, while another needs rather longer to explain a point of view or a complex issue, plus a change to the existing position or status quo may take longer to clarify.
Account also needs to be taken of the way a subject is covered over a period of time; perfect balance is difficult to achieve on every single individual occasion, while overall it is a more achievable goal taking into account our coverage as a whole over a period of time.
That said, we do value your feedback about this issue. All complaints are sent to senior management every morning and I included your points in this overnight report.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind regards

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).

Trump to be charged over ‘hush money’ payments to porn star
Out of office but rarely out of the public eye, Donald Trump has been facing four major legal investigations since leaving the White House. And overnight it was confirmed he will become the first former US president to be indicted on criminal charges, probably on Tuesday. It’s in relation to alleged hush money paid to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels, with whom Mr Trump denies an adulterous affair. Details of the charges have yet to be released but Mr Trump is calling it “political persecution”. He remains the leading Republican contender to fight the next presidential election and his campaign responded by sending out fundraising emails. If found guilty – even jailed – nothing in US law would prevent him running. Our live page has reaction.

BTW – apparently -our Justin – Zucker ? Christian – Katty and springer have all done a ‘podcast ‘ – what joy that must be ….
Been on the BBC news site twice today looking at the news and maybe something to comment on – and have been so infuriated at the over-the-top anti-Trump agenda pushing and emotive-style of all their useless ‘journalists’ I’ve just closed it down.
I’ll quickly give you one example : instead of just reporting on the smog in Thailand they have to do this:
‘Telling my daughter about Thailand’s poisonous air’
Where a man attempts to explain the inhumanity of the world to his 4 year old daughter.
They are also trying to infer it’s about illegal forest-burning by evil men destroying nature but it isn’t : it’s farmers burning the rice straw to plough it back into the soil.
It’s a classic BBC ‘lie by equivalence’ : mix an agenda thing and the real-life thing together as a reason and it implies they are both equally true.
A podcast is when the people in each video they made watch each others video and hope someone else does too.
And Springster complains about not being taken seriously as a journalist. Lurch and Kay have twigged that is a boat long sailed.
Wow – someone watched it . I’m afraid I don’t know or care what a podcast is ….
BBC chooses the quotes too.
#ccbgb
She ranted for 1 minute 45 seconds .
I wonder how the BBC engineer groups of lefty teachers to infest the whole audience on that show week after week ?
I don’t watch it – but if an extract like that is put up I’ll view out of politeness . What the blue labour government should have been doing was to force local councils to do core functions like elderly social care ‘ whilst cutting so much other crap like closing roads and cycle lanes costing millions ….
Who is that ‘mouth ‘?
TOADY Watch #1 – the BBC almost ‘besides themselves with joy’
Former President Trump is to be the first former US President to face criminal charges. What a strange world we live in. In the normal course of the law, a blackmailer, that is the so-called Stormy Daniels, would be the one facing criminal charges. Instead it is former President Trump who paid off the blackmailer.
Somehow I cannot see this one standing up in Court. But we are living in a crazy upside-down world and there is no doubt that China Joe or Beijing Biden, if he runs in 2024, fears Donald Trump as an opponent and will do all he can with fellow Democrats to make sure Donald Trump is jailed and cannot run for the Presidency.
Lurch use the same hairdresser as Nance?
Fix the trial judge – fix the jury – done job – fix the election already done …
Fed, if you are refering to the good ol’ USA, I think Ron de Santis might give China Joe a good run for his money. Politics is a young man’s game these days.

I find anyone still believing the US voting system to be not fixed quite – touching … 4 more years Joe …
Fed, sure but will people fall for (get sick from) a virus next time?
Up2
The nightmare must be a flu pandemic similar to 1918 1919 which I understand tended to kill the young .
But when the dust settles on the current Chinese virus it will be useful to know the profile of those it killed / seriously hurt …
I sort assume it’s – olders – fatters – pre existing conditions –
But I understand the broad blanket panic approach they took – together with ‘caution wars ‘ about lock downs and curfews …. I live in the shadow of captain hindsite …
Salad days and now it’s the stupid economy edition
Torment of our screaming tomatoes
No, it’s not some 1950s shoestring budget schlock horror production B-movie
Nor yet some BBC panic buying inducing, cost of living crisis, how we wish we were back in the EU, just in time supply chain, watch out for global warming, lament for our lost salad
That was in fact the jokey Daily Star’s way of headlining their article about which the measured tones of the world weary broadsheet Telegraph more poetically relates: Plants cry out if they are not watered
Whereas our conservative press and indeed the UK population at large tend to act more like the proverbial boiling frog than these complaining thirsty tomatoes who we now know might at least put up some protest – as government induced inflation, hyper immigration and a corrosive general liberal social malaise take effect and evaporate the Britain we once knew.
Corrosive general liberal social malaise, really Mr AsI? Surely you go too far, sir!
Well, one presents exhibit A – pictured frontpage of today’s Daily Mail: …drug dealer seen here in vile gun pose with Queen waxwork
That was just our Merseyside child killer doing his tribute to Spitting Image
We once smiled as the former Prince of Wales and proto-hippy Charles was reported as chatting regularly with his greenhouse plants.
Who’s laughing now?
King of comedy… cheeky Charles charms the Germans on tour (freebie Metro)
Our new minted but not yet on the bank notes King is famously a Monty Python fan. I think we can guess what John Cleese might advise on his German tour…
Whatever you do, don’t mention the EU
The Brexit diplomat: King begins to reshape monarchy… Finally, Charles can embrace his German ancestry (the left-leaning ‘i’ newsaper, where leanings are republican and that organ would no doubt wish to abolish the monarcy in a trice)
And surely do away with the Vatican and the Papacy, come to that – there’s a supranational European institution the left don’t admire: Battle for soul of Catholic Church has already begun (‘i’)
Our PM Rishi Sunak (we like to refer to him as our regional branch manager) recently made the Keynesian slip of referring to Britain as an “Economic Zone”
Quick burst of William Shakespeare, Richard II is needed at this point
“This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of Majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise; This fortress built by Nature for herself, Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England…. this Economic Zone

Asiseeit – I think rishi will be looking at LA real estate in about a years ‘ time and renewing the green card . Good for him I say …I don’t think we will see too much expression of sadness when he does the number 10 walk – but will be more stylish than Mary Elizabeth Truss ….
Apparently there is a ‘black hole ‘ the BBC – here is a Telegraph piece talking about it … April 1 tomorrow …
STARTS The BBC said it will make 1,000 hours less original programming next year as it warned of more “difficult choices” ahead over an expanding black hole in its funding.
BBC cost-saving targets come alongside plans to reinvest £300m into digital output as more audiences move online and viewers flock to streaming rivals such as Netflix and Disney.
The broadcaster has also pushed ahead with cuts to local radio stations, prompting a walkout by disgruntled staff on Budget day earlier this month.
Other cost-saving measures include a controversial merger of the BBC News and BBC World News channels, and closure of a number of World Service broadcast channels.
The U-turn on the BBC Singers once again highlighted the difficulties the BBC faces in shutting services. It has previously planned or threatened to close the 6 Music radio station and last year revived BBC Three after closing it in 2016 and seeing an exodus of younger viewers.
Yet in a sign of growing urgency over costs and technological shifts, the BBC warned that the “pace and scale” of changes will increase in the coming years as audiences give ever more of their attention to online media platforms.
The broadcaster said it would increase its focus on TikTok, despite concerns over the viral video app’s Chinese ownership. Senior Tories, including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, urged the BBC to “reconsider” its TikTok push amid fears Beijing could use the app to access user data.
The broadcaster also reiterated the need to plan for the switch-off of terrestrial broadcasts. Mr Davie has previously suggested the BBC could move to a streaming-only model by the end of the decade.
Alongside cuts, the director general has outlined plans to boost the BBC’s commercial revenue by producing its own shows and licensing content around the world.
The broadcaster has pumped money into original programmes including Happy Valley and Frozen Planet and last year inked a deal with Disney to show Doctor Who on its streaming service.
Despite the cost-cutting, bosses insisted the corporation was entering the year in a “strong financial position”.
Richard Sharp, chairman of the BBC, said: “The BBC’s performance in delivering against its strategic priorities has been outstanding, particularly in such a challenging financial setting and against a backdrop of increased competition.
“This plan sets out how we will best serve all audiences by making the most of our resources in the coming year.”
Days after the broadcaster was forced to U-turn on its decision to axe the BBC Singers by a backlash from musicians and the public, it revealed plans to rely more on repeats and imports in its Annual Plan.
The deepest cuts will hit BBC Four, which will commission fewer original arts and culture shows and air more archive material. A quieter sporting calendar following the World Cup and Commonwealth Games last year will also mean less original programming for viewers.
The BBC said: “There will be more of these difficult choices to come this year, but we will make them with audience value at the forefront of our thinking.”
The broadcaster, which receives £3.7bn from the licence fee each year, said it expects to rack up a deficit of £352m in the coming year, up from £271m this year. As a result, it increased its cost saving targets by around 40pc to £400m by 2027.
The BBC is being squeezed by soaring cost inflation, with the licence fee set to remain frozen at £159. However, it is scheduled to rise in line with inflation for the following four years.
The increases, which could result in a £13 increase for households in 2024, has sparked a backlash from former culture secretary Nadine Dorries, who called for no further increases in the licence fee until changes to BBC funding are considered.ENDS
