      An Elon musk company intends to launch a big rocket today . The satanic prayer beads must be out at BBC central hoping it will blow up .

      The piece for ‘Musk Fails ‘ is ready – the ‘piece Musk adds to global warming by launching rocket ‘ is also ready .

      BBC lie people busily researching all of twitter looking for ‘hate speech ‘ since musk bought it …. But I don’t think they’ll be begging for an interview any time soon …

      Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.

      The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.

      Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.

      Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

    As mentioned in the weekend thread
    BBC London presenter and reporter Alpa Patel opened the evening news with coverage of the anti-ULEZ event,
    she said: “Local protesters and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups.”
    .. Interesting framing

    There isn’t balance cos for protests the BBC supports BLM, XR
    there are certainly “conspiracy theorists” and radical extremists and Marxists etc.
    but BBC don’t frame their reporting by mentioning them

    I read that some Brummy police officers were on the receiving end of Muslim hospitality in the form of bottles being thrown while they tried to stop a large area of the city streets being used as an illegal market flogging the usual paki copy designer goods and perfume.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65293507

    The BBC appear to support making these “Markets” legal.

    The photos look as if they could have been taken in any Pakistani run down city.

    Matter of time before some UK cities become no-go areas for non-believers in my opinion.

    Alabama shooting: Four dead at Dadeville 16th birthday party
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65293737

    4 dead and 28 injured in a mass shooting. Yet this one barely makes a side-pane on the BBC front page.

    ‘What is striking right now, and unusual, is how little we know about a possible suspect.’

    Not unusual at all BBC. We are quite used to not getting any information at all about certain things.

    For example, it took months for us to be told that officer Sicknik died of natural causes. Or that the policeman who shot Ashli Babbitt was black.

    And even when you do know BBC, you very often don’t share the full story with us anyway if it doesn’t help the agenda. Particularly if it involves anything which might damage Biden and let Trump back in.

    What still amazes me is how absolutely complicit the Leftists MSM media now are in covering up what they don’t want us to know.

    Let’s see what comes out of this story. But the longer it takes for us to find out while the narrative shifts quickly from the shooting to gun control laws, the more likely it’s the usual story and the murderer is not white.

    The orthodox view and do the maths something doesn’t add up edition

    Sadly we don’t get to see a cartoon from Matt our favourite cartoonist (or the customary Matt is away statement) on the frontpage of the Telegraph this morning – but in other news: Sudan fighting: RSF and army clash in Khartoum for third day (BBC)

    Have you noticed how our BBC don’t yet seem to have had the tip-off which side we’re supposed to be on in this one? Both sides claimed to control key sites in the capital Khartoum, where residents sheltered from explosions. (BBC)

    Cartoon… Khartoum? Headlines are all about the bad puns.

    A chorus of international voices has called for a permanent end to the violence. (BBC)

    Whereas in another conflict closer to europe the sound in our media of those renowned international voices calling for peace is a resounding silence: Inside the UK training camp where Ukrainians are taught how to fight (BBC)

    Just wondering what’s our war aim here… the pride flag raised over the Kremlin?

    The non-believing Guardian are occasionally up for the odd Christian festival – when it happens to be in Palestine or Ukraine: Incense, candles – and no sign of Moscow Kyiv’s faithfully mark an Easter like no other; and Access to Orthodox Easter ceremony in Jerusalem limited over security concerns… The church is in Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem, and for the second consecutive year Israeli police had told church leaders access would be considerably restricted.

    The liberal Times worships at the same false neocon idols as the socialists at the Guardian: Act of faith: Orthodox Icons rescued from a church destroyed yesterday by a Russian missile – frontpage picture supplied Reuters – no doubt carefully curated care of the Kyiv propaganda ministry

    How’s that supermarket-style just-in-time stocks ammunition delivery plan working out for you NATO?

    The bog roll crisis of 2020 ought to have been a warning

    And of course there’s our (publically funded – compromise TM care of Elon Musk) BBC: The cost of the Ukraine war for one Russian regiment; and Officially, Ukraine estimates that for every one of its soldiers killed, Russia loses seven.

    Which unlikely calculation serves as a handy segueway to: Rishi Sunak sets up review to tackle ‘anti-maths mindset’… The prime minister is also expected to attack an “anti-maths mindset” which views being bad at maths as “socially acceptable” (BBC); Adults should all be able to do maths, PM insists (Times) – would that they could – says Mr AsISeeIt

    Laughable, execrable ‘interview’ by JustRemainin Webb on Toady with a Labour MP.

    Apparently waffle-dust will be sprinkled and as if by magic we will all be able to see our GPs face to face when ever we like. It’s Labour policy.

    Simple. But how? When? At what cost? From where will all the required GPs be magicked up? JustRemainin didn’t ask.

    For real insight, check out the excellent post on the previous thread pointing out how for many female doctors another doctor is required to cover them on maternity leave and subsequent part time work. More wuffle-dust required.

    More laughs if it weren’t so serious.

    The Brecon Beacons National Park are to be renamed. Firstly in Welsh. Secondly to omit the word ‘Beacon’. Why? Because Beacon implies a fire and we are moving to zero emissions and reduced pollution !!!!!!!

    Political correctness gone mad. But there is a sting in the tail. They hope to attract more people. But most of those people are English. I just wonder if a percentage of those English are so p***** off with the eco-zealots that they might decide to go elsewhere. Such as the writer of this post.

      And notice the rather odd choice of a ‘typical Brit’ to comment on it:
      ‘Resmi Satheesan, a holidaymaker who is originally from India and is currently based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, visits the park often with her family.’
      Originally from India? So where’s she from now?. And she visits the park often? How long is she on holiday for? It’s a long trek from St Albans (surely they mean the city of Verulamium?) to the Brecon Beacons, not the sort of trip you would make ‘often’ if you’re only on holiday for a couple of weeks. Also notice the reference to Mumbai, pushing the narrative that this is the real name for Bombay. Funny how they never say Bharat rather than India. It’s either ‘Mumbai in Bharat’ or ‘Bombay in India’, rather than the selective use of English in one name and the Hindi name for the other.

        Bombay simply comes from the Portuguese for “good bay”. They founded a trading post there. There was nothing before that. So there is no original Indian name for “Bombay” as it didn’t exist before the Portuguese founded it. But let’s “decolonize” it anyway.

          Singapore was taken from the Malay for Lion after Temasek.

          There was of course human occupancy well prior.

          However, it was mostly a mosquito riven swamp and a few villages.

          But did have a nifty anchorage.

      “Secretive internet vigilantes have made it their mission to fight climate change denial on Twitter
      ..In 2019, she helped set up Team Ninja Trollhunters, a group of 25 people from around the world who came together to fight climate change denial on Twitter.
      ..The “ninjas” began keeping tabs on prominent Twitter accounts which disputed the basic science of climate change.
      Whenever those users tweeted something which broke the platform’s rules, they would report them.
      …They claim that, as a result of their actions, about 600 Twitter accounts promoting climate change denial were suspended.
      ..In a private forum, they added Mike’s handle to their list of claimed scalps.”

    Are the cracks in the Ukraine narrative widening too much for the MSM? Is the Sudan conflict going to take top spot? Apologies if this was already posted over the weekend:

    “The Ukrainian authorities in Kiev have embezzled “$400 million last year, at least,” of U.S. taxpayers money, according to veteran American journalist, Seymour Hersh, who recently grabbed headlines for his long-read article describing how it was the government of the United States that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline”

      Lying just south of the Great Cataract on the Nile, Sudan has more ancient pyramids than the whole of Egypt.

      A holiday in Sudan is so far off most people’s radar that expectations have probably not yet entered the equation. But here are a few thoughts. Lying just south of the Great Cataract on the Nile, Sudan has more ancient pyramids than the whole of Egypt. It was here that Gordon of Khartoum was killed and where Kitchener massacred the army of the Mahdi at Omdurman.

    Anyone would think the BBC supports Sad Dick Khan’s ULEZ zone and selects its news accordingly.

    If you are seeking an overarching theory of why so many crazy things keep happening in our politics and culture I recommend watching a thirty minute lecture on You Tube by James Lindsay to the the Woke Conference of the European Parliament ( a subgroup of it ) .
    He resent a powerful analysis that links many of the apparently unconnected forces which are tearing our societies apart. He groups these forces into the standard playbook of cultural Marxism and Maoism. It’s powerful stuff and well worth watching.

        It all boils down to the Hegelian dialect. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. Marx was funded by the same people who funded the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. It is the same people who funded Mao and Lin Biao. The same woke cult we see today in our society was promoted by Biao. China has always been the test bed of what is to come to the West. It’s the same people who funded the Frankfurt school. It’s the people identified and outed in Carol Quigley’s ‘Tragedy and Hope’. It’s the same people exposed in Antony C. Sutton’s ‘America’s Secret Establishment’.
        The same people who create the ‘money’ you use every day of your life. This is why they invented the pandemic and termed this decade, the decade of pandemics as their financial Ponzi scheme started completely falling apart as it was designed to do. Woke is just one of the facets of the hybrid war that has been ongoing for centuries.

    Some time ago I expressed the opinion here that there ought to be a way of knowing which companies had gone woke so that conservatives could boycott them.
    Our chief fact-checker, admin and moralist responded very sniffily that we don’t do that sort of thing.
    Well, over in America, they ARE doing that sort of thing to Bud Light, and it’s working.
    You can be sure companies will think twice about embracing woke causes in future.
    Not only that, but a website and app have been launched that will keep track of woke companies and notify subscribers so they can boycott said companies. (see below)
    All this is one more sign that the times they are a’ changing, and the little people are saying: we’ve had enough of your lefty cr*p.

        On 9 September 2006, BBC News reported that the Muslim boycott of Danish goods had reduced Denmark’s total exports by 15.5% between February and June. This was attributed to an approximated 50% decline in exports to the Middle East. The BBC said, “The cost to Danish businesses was around 134 million euros ($170m), when compared with the same period last year, the statistics showed.”[72] However, The Guardian newspaper in the UK said, “While Danish milk products were dumped in the Middle East, fervent right-wing Americans started buying Bang & Olufsen stereos and Lego. In the first quarter of this year Denmark’s exports to the US soared 17%.”[73] Overall the boycott did not have a significant effect on the Danish economy.[74]
