Happened to switch on the tv and saw BBC4 this evening were about to start showing Yeoman of the Guard by the ENO at the Coliseum. It is set in the 1950s, and as Mr D pointed out, he wasn’t sure quite why Alec Douglas Hume appeared in the news reels played over the overture.
However, we gave it a chance but we just knew it would be woke and waiting for it to do so, spolied the moment. I presume it was Sir Richard Cholmondeley who was played by a woman, we could cope with that. Phoebe seemed as far as we watched, to be played traditionally with someone whose skin colour seemed to fit the times. Then her brother Leonard appeared. He was very black. How such a white woman could have such a very black brother was beyond explanation. But we could have gone with that. However Leonard had the sort of haircut that present day Turkish barbers are so fond of ie nothing at the sides and a circle of hair on the top, a monk in reverse. It was just sloppy and looked stupid. We gave up and switched off. Perhaps it wasn’t just the haircut, but it really wasn’t very good. The orchestra drowned the singing and the actors appeared to be made of wood. And the singers mouths didn’t seem to move in time with the words which were being sung. I would have thought a multi billion pound enterprise could have got the technology right.
Ah well, perhaps 5 out of 10 for trying something traditional but it really didn’t hold out attention. Bring back the Doyley Carte.
Deborah, if only we could bring that hilarious lyric writer W S Gilbert back! If anyone could do a musical spoof of the woke era, it would be him. (Mr Hand-Basket and I have just watched his comic opera Patience, a send-up of the Victorian aesthetic movement. It seems to have been full of the same status-seeking fakes as wokeness.)
Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘The Mikado’ contains the comic song ‘They’ll none of them be missed’, which lists ‘society offenders who might well be undergound’. They include ”the idiot who praises with enthusiastic tone each century but this and every country but his own”. We certainly have plenty of these around in our anti-British times!
(By the way, we’ve got all the G and S operas on DVD. They’re a bit old, but you may still be able to get them. And I can guarantee no transgenders unless they were part of the plot!)
I recently unearthed a picture of me in a dress, as one of the Major-General’s daughters in ‘The Pirates of Penzance!
I was in my very early teens at the time, and my voice was about to break, but the ‘extra effect’ of the two extra socks Sellotaped inside the top half of the outfit was rather spoiled by the huge thick-soled plimsoles I wore instead of the dainty little shoes we were supposed to be wearing! The make-up was appalling!
Mabel’s voice actually did break during the dress rehearsal, much to the amusement of the girls from the local convent!
I also developed galloping tonsillitis after the final performance of the show, and couldn’t speak, let alone sing…
She’s had a roller-coaster of dealing with the NHS, but as expected, has seen them off, given them a good hiding and got stuck in! She’s going to be just fine and dandy, and in her own words just now: –
“So lovely of fellow BBBC contributors to ask about me, hopefully I will be in evidence soon with a huge I’M BACK !! fanfare lol !”
My second attempt refers to a programme I heard on Radio 4 last Friday. It was about the difficulties some asylum seekers have proving they really need asylum. The seekers in question are those from the LGBTQ etc etc community whose lives would be in danger if they returned to their own country.
The BBC person was queer. I know this because she (I am assuming it was a she because her voice sounded female but I know I should never assume anything) told us so. She (I will call her she throughout) interviewed a queer (she told us he was queer I think) man from Tobago. He was seeking asylum in this country because Tobago is one country where practicing homosexuality is illegal. The BBC person went through the difficulties the man was having staying in this country. He had been here 8 years and had made 7 appeals. It wasn’t explained how if someone fails the first time, they can just keep on appealing. The man was existing on just £35 per week we were told. I cannot believe this covered his rent, so who was paying that? Graphic details were given about how men used to prove they were homosexual (ie film of their bedroom activites).
What wasn’t covered was how many people claim to be homosexual (who aren’t really) to enable them to stay in this country.
Although the BBC claim not to be biased, they are so blinkered they cannot see the evidence of their own bias. The programme ticked so many boxes. It was made by a queer person about a black queer person. It highlighted the difficulties which asylum seekers face. But everything was taken at face value and used to show what a dreadful racist country this is.
I go to Twitter and search : Tobago Pride
and up pop videos of Trinidad and Tobago Pride Parades
First one was July 28, 2018.
That shows people can be gay in Tobago openly
so the guy must have come before then
Furthermore unless he had done other serious crimes he wouldn’t have been prosecuted before then either
The Trinbagonian Criminal Code prohibited anal sex and oral sex between any sexes before the judicial repeal of the prohibition in 2018.
Prior to 2018, Section 13 of the Sexual Offences Act 1986 (strengthened in 2000) criminalised “buggery”, with 25 years imprisonment. Theoretically, the law punished oral and anal sex between heterosexuals as well.[2]
Enforcement
The Trinidad and Tobago Government had not targeted homosexuals under the “buggery” or “serious indecency” laws; however, in limited historical cases, individuals had been charged and convicted of these offences when coupled with other serious crimes
As I said Stew, the man had been in the U.K. eight years. No mention on the programme that the laws on homosexuality had changed in Tobago in the meantime . Funny that. I would have thought a multi billion organisation would have had the resources to have fact checked.
If only someone had told this fellow. I am sure he would have been delighted to leave £35 per week penury in Britain for a new life back home in Trinidad & Tobago. Because there is no way in which he could be a bogus asylum seeker. Is there?

Dear Winston Smith from the Memory Hole Department,
Legal definition of genocide
————————————-
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part1
; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and]
forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
**imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group**
They (Anti-natalists) believe humans shouldn’t have children. Who are the anti-natalists – and how far are they willing to push their ideas? {bbc.co.uk 13aug2019} https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-49298720

Seems your article might want to mention the UN definition of genocide and also mention it to the Anti-natalists.

I’ve got a simpler solution, which would have a far greater impact. Cancel the whole thing. I’ve got a pretty fair idea what a bunch of people running round and round looks like, so cancel it and show last years instead. Same with anything which involves kicking a ball or hitting it with a stick.

Hi Mark,
I’m not in favour one way or the other. My point is that if the new oracles intend to prevent climate change and head for net zero (Or lower if there’s money in it), then they must surely be in favour of banning, well, pretty much anything enjoyable. One FA cup final, I would guess, involves 40-50 000 cars averaging 100 miles. So ban it. My favourite way of winding up these wonderkids is to ask them if they have a dog. Most of them seem to. Want to make maximum reduction on your carbon footprint? Kill the dog. You either want all these reforms or you don’t.
Or maybe they just enjoy having their vegan snouts in the biggest con since covid 19. Came from a lab, you say? Well there’s a turnip for the books.

Turkish election victory for Erdogan leaves nation divided (BBC) – the familiar BBC formula there emphasising that ‘right-ish’ leaders divide – even when they win elections.
Personally one would award the islamist-leaning Erdogan no stars or crescents but he certainly seems to have given our BBC boys and girls the hump: But his call for unity sounded hollow as he ridiculed his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu – and took aim at a jailed Kurdish leader and the LGBT community. (BBC)
On a positive note, the Telegraph at least has got to grips with those basic inevitable universal economic forces that work like gravity: Rent rise blamed on higher immigration – the Torygraph takes care to take an editorial side-step and attribute the statement to some right-leaning think tank – but when you are given a rare present it’s the thought thant counts.

TO quote Agent Smith of “The Matrix” I’ve had a revelation, a few days ago which I would like to share with readers because I’m pretty sure they don’t know about this either.
ESG scores environmental, social, and governance, are a scoring system akin to Chinas social credit system and if a company doesn’t have a high enough score they will find access to credit impossible, or more expensive depending on the score.
Now in the past based on media disinformation I was under the mistaken belief that this was all about green nonsense, but it isn’t. Under the Mafia Democrats the S Social function is being used in a Fascist manner to control companies and what they do.
I like many others saw companies like Annheiser Busch using some trannie as a decision made by a woke marketing exec out of control, and there might be some truth in that, however the reality is far darker than that.
Under Bidens Orwellian Fascist nightmare, companies which choose to give money to religious institutions lose ESG points, and gain them when they use LGBT or Blacks in marketing campaigns. If they use White people they lose points. If they give money to the ‘right’ people they gain points, the ‘wrong’ ones and they lose them.
ESG is being used to control what companies run as marketing campaigns so when you see virtually every advert with Blacks or gays, now you know why and the Fascist control behind which is making it happen.
This is why the banksters can allow North Face, Budweiser et al to go broke. It doesn’t matter to them. Blackrock now effectively owns EVERY company on the planet. In fact, they are enjoying destroying companies like Budweiser because they are typically associated with your average American Joe. It’s a demoralisation process. They are gobbling up assets with the fake money they are printing that goes to the likes of JP Morgan and friends (owners of the FED) who are using it to buy up all of the independent banks across the West and give the rest to Blackrock and pals to manage. As you say using ESG they can bankrupt any company they choose to that won’t play ball with their nonsense. The climate scam is simply being used as an excuse to asset-strip the world in favour of the banksters.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says he believes in “forcing behaviors.” “Behaviors are going to have to change and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors and at Blackrock, we are forcing behaviors.”
You will be happy and you will own nothing isn’t a bluff.

The medical mafia will make sure that there will never be enough doctors and nurses and the rest to staff their NHS . The advantages of being ‘agency ‘ must be great in every way – particularly for those of the lowest calibre – same with the locums ant night who barely speak the Engleesh …..

Yet again we see the proof that the Blue Labour government are facilitating the open border policy of the far left mafia Democrats in the USA where clueless Rishi Washee appears to be finding his policy ideas.
Sad that this guy was living in the UK, but it’s Belgium which has taken legal action against him and nothing the UK which appears quite happy to allow him to continue operating here.
The right have won regional elections in Spain and the Social Democrats routed. The general election will take place in the autumn and similar results are expected. This follows hard on the heels of the right winning regional elections in Greece last week and of course Meloni winning power in Italy and the Dutch farmers party giving the socialists a bloody nose.
Everywhere in EU land the socialists are in retreat . Can the right win power in the EU Parliament? If they do will they be able to overcome the socialist bureaucracy in Brussels or will we see the refusal of the socialist elite to bow to the will of the people as we have seen in the UK?
If the right can bring the anti democratic elite to heel in Brussels then it’s a great ,great pity that we left because we are getting stuffed post Brexit by all our main parties. One thing is certain , if the right triumphs in Brussels the British anti democrats won’t be applying to rejoin anytime soon.

BBC News at One, David Sillito is interviewing Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks about their 50 years in the music biz.
“We were huge Anglophiles growing up,” the brothers tell him.
I’m not sure the BBC wants to hear things like that.

pug, “Odd huh? And even odder that we supposedly have a labour shortage here when we have record net immigration…..far far more people than ever came during the glory days of EU membership.”
Quite right.
I’m also puzzled why the O.N.S. currently relays the UK jobless statistics as a percentage figure: as if no-one can work out that 3.7% of 34, 000,000 is 1,528,000 unemployed in the UK!
Sure it’s a typo, but 1,258,000 is the correct calculation. We have hundreds of young men where I live from overseas walking round the town centre every day, with no intention of looking for work.
Do you remember seeing on the tv where various religions hurt themselves to prove how devout they are. They might keep whipping themselves with a leather whip maybe with hooks or metal on to draw blood and generally cause much pain and damage just to show others how much they believe in their god or religion.
They might do things like sticking knives in themselves or stop eating until they are just a bag of bones. Maybe playing with rattlesnakes.
It’s usually primitive people (or con men) and where it’s genuine it is virtue signalling at the extreme.
When it comes to all these adverts, big companies appear to be damaging themselves just to tick boxes and show us ordinary people how virtuous they are. Bud light comes to mind but they are all at it.
Everybody can see it’s rubbish and just virtue signalling yet they go ahead annoying the majority of their market.
It’s like these primitives damaging themselves the way these virtue signalling companies are behaving, hurting themselves (sales) just to show they are woke.
Of course, lots of other examples can be found such as tv drama casting anyone who can tick boxes or promoting people because they tick boxes instead of promoting the best person for the job, all types of self harm.
We can only hope that Darwinism will get rid of all these woke types and we can get back to normal life. It’s either that or we ‘tolerate’ ourselves to extinction.

There were two posts alledging I was some kind of Russian shill undoubtedly from Ukrainian bots.

Seems a bit strange listening to a speech by putin which should come out of the mouth of a true conservative in the West .
If you listen to that speech – try finding something to disagree with . He does – as they say – nail it .
I wonder if the cause of the current social crisis / collapse is a seed planted by the uSSr back in the 1960s but has developed as generations of weirdos have achieved career power in outfits such as political parties , the media , bbc ….
The use of all 36 Chinese strategies on the “white elite” are now almost complete. Bribing the “white elite” into destroying themselves with progressive ideology & transferring their industry to China. Western owned Industry in China can now be controlled by the Chinese people. The Chinese have bought the Gold and fooled the “white elite” into destroying their own military with a jab. When the “white elite” have bankrupted themselves, china invades Taiwan. Then China snatches their assets.
Two possible outcomes:
1 – Global warming limit (sic) is broken. Climate crisis is worse than we thought! Much more money needed to counteract it!
2 – Global warming limit (sic) not broken. Mystery, as Scientists and Experts ™ using modelling software developed on 1982 Sinclair Spectrums predicted it would be. Much more Money needed to investigate.
Satanism is a big thing now for the Left, they think they are so clever they can play with live coals and not get burned, so they have turned in great numbers to the open worship of Satan.
An interesting talk by an American Catholic Excorcist on You Tube talks of the Baphoment image of the great deceiver which is female on top male on the bottom, the ultimate gender fluidity which as he says is in itself Satanic.
God created man, and woman, he did not create something inbetween and to suggest he did is the deception of Satan.
I have noticed recently more and more people realising the work of Satan behind much of the so called ‘woke’ ideology Satan is now overt and clear to see he has called so many to his side against that of God.
Climate Change activism operates the same way as Witch Doctors.
There’s a drought and the village needs rain. The village collects money and sacrifices to pay the Witch Doctor to perform a rain dance.
The Witch Doctor performs a rain dance and sacrifices and ……..
a) It rains. So the Witch Doctor successfully appeased the Gods and they gave rain.
B) It doesn’t rain. The payment was inadequate, the sacrifices weren’t good enough. More money is needed.
Either way the Witch Doctor wins.
We are handing over money and sacrificing our lifestyles so they can ‘control’ climate change……
Well, British gardeners will soon have just stringy coir ‘compost’ instead of sustainable peat to use on their gardens from next year, as some EU/Leftie edict which is only followed by Germany and some other place over there, is stopping us using the stuff!
Peat is a natural sustainable product which has been used for centuries as an aid to growing crops in this part of the world, but the manic Green zealots have decided that it has to be preserved for some reason or other! I always thought that humans actually came top of the tree, not invertebrates and insects…
The argument that the use of peat is nodded through as it means that when it is cut and used, it releases CO2, and stops the laughable ‘net-zero’ target from being ‘achieved’. What utter bollocks!
Canada has so much peat, it is a rising and developing commodity, but apparently, Brits and companies producing compost have to use a product which is grown in Asia, harvested, and all the salt washed out of it with a scarce water supply, then shipped in huge conatiner boats all that way to the British Isles for a very expensive and not very good substitute!
I never voted for this catastrophe, but any normal British pastime or hobby like gardening is never going to figure anywhere near the flawed ideals of the fanatical left-wing Green morons.
The BBC are always implicit in their support for this disgraceful limitation for home gardeners everywhere! Their gardening programmes are now a pathetic joke and well worth ignoring!
I never thought that a timeless pastime like gardening and producing my own crops and flowers would be tarnished by such a failed design for future generations who actually want to do something, and which excludes the twisted ideals of a little autistic kid from some Scandinavian cult.
Scroblene ,
Buy Peat Futures……my one Grandfather was a Head Gardener at a large estate……he’ll be turning in his moss covered Grave with that news then , and why are we listening to what the EU say anyway I thought we’d left …..oh hang on !
Charlie and Tomo, it really is a sad indictment of a useless policy just ruining a ‘traditional’ lifestyle for normal British people.
This ridiculous scramble to achieve a spurious level of Co2 in an ever-changing environment has made billionaires of so many canny dealers, the mind boggles at the stupidity of our politicians even more!
Your Grandfather was one of the best people ever to judge nature as it was meant to be, not what some airhead with a non-degree in politics and idiocy would eventually bring to our useless government.
Luckily, I have enough room at home to stockpile enough peat to last me and my family through to my dotage, which at this rate, is lengthening due to the fact that I don’t always buy the crap churned out by supermarkets…
…the same supermarkets which overcharge a gullible public to fund their woke food banks for the feckless…
Scroblene ,
Always remember his wise words ” the answer lies in the soil ” , As children we used to stay with them and the Fruit and Vegetables were amazing ….. the Tomato greenhouse and the taste of them wow , I’ve tried to grow something similar but never could . I remember one thing that was done was Horse Manure ( BBC speciality ! ) from the Stables in hessian sacks and dropped in to the water tank …..cheap nutrients and it obviously worked !
‘All the missiles were shot down, officials said, and there were no reports of casualties.’
My God, we have entered cuckoo land. Ridiculous claims by Ukraine reported verbatim by the BBC who it seems are no longer including any qualifying statement that the headline might not be true.
That means things are getting desperate.
I have to admit that these waves of drone strikes are tactical genius by Russia. Ukraine are using $500,000 missiles against $20,000 ‘simple’ kamikaze drones. It means that if the counter offensive ever actually starts, Ukraine are going to be very short on anti-aircraft missiles which is very, very bad news indeed for troops on the ground.
I wonder how long it will be before questions start being asked about why the West is giving so many billions to Ukraine if they are going to lose. The whole thing is escalating out of control. Why is nobody trying to stop it and reach some kind of compromise while we still can ?.
I’m getting pissed off with idiotic CGI tedium being hosed into my YouTube alongside the rousing vids to gee-up the cannon fodder and farcical tactical victory claims.
I don’t watch BBC stuff beyond some clips that make their way out away from the channels and the general impression from that is mendacious crap.
The asymmetric tech tactics are to be expected – and the decoying will get “smarter” – the Russians will be spotting all the acquisition radars. Likely the 2nd hand western tanks will be lured into traps and picked off.
I’ve yet to hear a convincing explanation of the USS Donald Cook incident.
Nuland, Sullivan, Graham and shot away ‘ole Joe and the rest of the war mongers deserve a hiding and incarceration.
What is worrying me at the back of my brain is the knowledge that Russia are being given direct experience to learn about warfare with the latest weapons the West has.
The astute observer will realise that all mention of HIMARS and the turkish kamikaze drone – both war winning game changers – have been completely dropped from the propaganda by the likes of the BBC. No explanation – they just disappeared overnight.
It’s because Russia have learned that they can easily jam the weak GPS signal and render them useless.
Same as they have learned to revert to artillery barrages followed by ground assaults instead of armoured assaults – thus rendering our amazing anti-tank missiles pointless.
The Russian equipment is low technology, brute-force and ignorance stuff which now has them winning this war after they learned a lot of lessons the hard way. The USA are now sending Ukraine their very latest equipment because they are getting desperate. If WW3 really breaks out, the Russians have already been through their learning curve. The USA and the rest of us have not.
I’m sure I’ve read that NATO tanks are being converted to electric motors . This is an excellent idea since the number of charging points is being increased a lot .
It’s important that battles are as ‘green ‘ as possible and that the air isn’t polluted ….
…Also – I think it is unlikely that the Russians will attack unless they’ve had adequate diversity and health / safety training – there is an embargo on such training so they’ll have to wait ….
Thanks Scroblene … lol … maybe they could do ‘in journey ‘ recharging where you link to a recharging van doing 70 mph on the motorway…. Surely better than having to stop overnight to recharge the thing …? The Chinese must be laughing their bits off …
Fed, do I assume that if I ‘transition’ then a Russian soldier will not shoot me?
After Blair and Clinton did their ‘climate change’ thing and Clinton insisted that ‘Stealth’ bombers could not fly from friendly nation bases but only from US soil in order to bomb Iraq (in punishment for breaching the ‘no-fly-zone’ sanction) I tried to find out how much heat was generated by a single bullet.
In the back of my head was lurking the history of early machine guns that had to be water cooled otherwise they overheated and a distorted barrel meant that two rounds could chase each other to extinction along with that of the soldier firing the gun. I’m sure a significant amount of global warming is released every time a trigger is pulled.
Ah, if only there had been some sort of, I don’t know, maybe historic precedent or something, that demonstrates the way Russia fights wars. Okay, I appreciate that mostly they have been on the receiving end in wars, being invaded by the Germans, French, Poles, Swedes and so on over the centuries. But, let’s suppose they have learned from the experiences and will apply it in other conflicts. If only we could work out what it was – it’s such a mystery to military historians, just one of those things we can never know…
Re the work experience girl on Toady moaning on about Kiev having come under attack for three nights. She might like to read about the sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad during WWII and ponder what those experiences have left on the Russian psyche.

Yes – big differences – the Russian memory of the Great Patriotic War is so very strong . Whereas the British kidult version does know much about any of it – apart from Tom Hanks of course.
Comparing the Ukrainians to nazis is really gonna hit the patriotic button – as well as the belief that Russia is surrounded by ever more hostile American proxies – like us .

Wonder if this will make it to the BBC … as an example of Tory incompetence?

I was wondering why the BBC does not show us more
inclusive, diverse, positive discrimination images
of folk in Kiev, as they are being bombed by
Vlad the Bad.
Surely Getty’s could mock up some more diverse ones
for them using their inclusive advertising models.
…. but she has a soft spot for the people of Kyviv after they have had to endure three nights of Russian air attacks. Three nights? Three nights?! Incredible!
London and Londoners (my parents among them) had to endure over eight months of the Blitz during WW2, including 56 out of 57 nights of continuous bombing. Maybe Harshmistress Mishal Husain should do a little research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz (usual disclaimers) might be a starting point.

ZephirDec 25, 01:55 Christmas 2024 ALL the following from recruitment adverts Disgusting for any young white male comprising the vast majority of the potential construction…
First.
Happened to switch on the tv and saw BBC4 this evening were about to start showing Yeoman of the Guard by the ENO at the Coliseum. It is set in the 1950s, and as Mr D pointed out, he wasn’t sure quite why Alec Douglas Hume appeared in the news reels played over the overture.
However, we gave it a chance but we just knew it would be woke and waiting for it to do so, spolied the moment. I presume it was Sir Richard Cholmondeley who was played by a woman, we could cope with that. Phoebe seemed as far as we watched, to be played traditionally with someone whose skin colour seemed to fit the times. Then her brother Leonard appeared. He was very black. How such a white woman could have such a very black brother was beyond explanation. But we could have gone with that. However Leonard had the sort of haircut that present day Turkish barbers are so fond of ie nothing at the sides and a circle of hair on the top, a monk in reverse. It was just sloppy and looked stupid. We gave up and switched off. Perhaps it wasn’t just the haircut, but it really wasn’t very good. The orchestra drowned the singing and the actors appeared to be made of wood. And the singers mouths didn’t seem to move in time with the words which were being sung. I would have thought a multi billion pound enterprise could have got the technology right.
Ah well, perhaps 5 out of 10 for trying something traditional but it really didn’t hold out attention. Bring back the Doyley Carte.

Deborah, if only we could bring that hilarious lyric writer W S Gilbert back! If anyone could do a musical spoof of the woke era, it would be him. (Mr Hand-Basket and I have just watched his comic opera Patience, a send-up of the Victorian aesthetic movement. It seems to have been full of the same status-seeking fakes as wokeness.)
Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘The Mikado’ contains the comic song ‘They’ll none of them be missed’, which lists ‘society offenders who might well be undergound’. They include ”the idiot who praises with enthusiastic tone each century but this and every country but his own”. We certainly have plenty of these around in our anti-British times!
(By the way, we’ve got all the G and S operas on DVD. They’re a bit old, but you may still be able to get them. And I can guarantee no transgenders unless they were part of the plot!)

I recently unearthed a picture of me in a dress, as one of the Major-General’s daughters in ‘The Pirates of Penzance!
I was in my very early teens at the time, and my voice was about to break, but the ‘extra effect’ of the two extra socks Sellotaped inside the top half of the outfit was rather spoiled by the huge thick-soled plimsoles I wore instead of the dainty little shoes we were supposed to be wearing! The make-up was appalling!
Mabel’s voice actually did break during the dress rehearsal, much to the amusement of the girls from the local convent!
I also developed galloping tonsillitis after the final performance of the show, and couldn’t speak, let alone sing…
Nobody in the BBC was asked to comment…

My second attempt refers to a programme I heard on Radio 4 last Friday. It was about the difficulties some asylum seekers have proving they really need asylum. The seekers in question are those from the LGBTQ etc etc community whose lives would be in danger if they returned to their own country.
The BBC person was queer. I know this because she (I am assuming it was a she because her voice sounded female but I know I should never assume anything) told us so. She (I will call her she throughout) interviewed a queer (she told us he was queer I think) man from Tobago. He was seeking asylum in this country because Tobago is one country where practicing homosexuality is illegal. The BBC person went through the difficulties the man was having staying in this country. He had been here 8 years and had made 7 appeals. It wasn’t explained how if someone fails the first time, they can just keep on appealing. The man was existing on just £35 per week we were told. I cannot believe this covered his rent, so who was paying that? Graphic details were given about how men used to prove they were homosexual (ie film of their bedroom activites).
What wasn’t covered was how many people claim to be homosexual (who aren’t really) to enable them to stay in this country.
Although the BBC claim not to be biased, they are so blinkered they cannot see the evidence of their own bias. The programme ticked so many boxes. It was made by a queer person about a black queer person. It highlighted the difficulties which asylum seekers face. But everything was taken at face value and used to show what a dreadful racist country this is.

I go to Twitter and search : Tobago Pride
and up pop videos of Trinidad and Tobago Pride Parades
First one was July 28, 2018.
That shows people can be gay in Tobago openly
so the guy must have come before then
Furthermore unless he had done other serious crimes he wouldn’t have been prosecuted before then either
The Trinbagonian Criminal Code prohibited anal sex and oral sex between any sexes before the judicial repeal of the prohibition in 2018.
Prior to 2018, Section 13 of the Sexual Offences Act 1986 (strengthened in 2000) criminalised “buggery”, with 25 years imprisonment. Theoretically, the law punished oral and anal sex between heterosexuals as well.[2]
Enforcement
The Trinidad and Tobago Government had not targeted homosexuals under the “buggery” or “serious indecency” laws; however, in limited historical cases, individuals had been charged and convicted of these offences when coupled with other serious crimes

As I said Stew, the man had been in the U.K. eight years. No mention on the programme that the laws on homosexuality had changed in Tobago in the meantime . Funny that. I would have thought a multi billion organisation would have had the resources to have fact checked.

Dear Winston Smith from the Memory Hole Department,
Legal definition of genocide
————————————-
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part1
; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and]
forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
**imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group**
They (Anti-natalists) believe humans shouldn’t have children. Who are the anti-natalists – and how far are they willing to push their ideas? {bbc.co.uk 13aug2019}
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-49298720
UN on Genocide: imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
BBC On Anti-natalists:They (Anti-natalists) believe humans shouldn’t have children.
Terrorism: “Wouldn’t it just be better to blow a hole in the side of the earth and just have done with everything?”
Seems your article might want to mention the UN definition of genocide and also mention it to the Anti-natalists.
Cheers,
Mr H

Ukraine war: Zelenksy praises air force after Russia’s largest drone attack yet
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65740839
‘Some buildings, including a tobacco factory, caught fire after being hit by falling drone fragments.’
That must have been a big ‘fragment’ to do damage like that.
The reporting of this war by the BBC is going from ridiculous to absolutely ludicrous.
I have a feeling this author of the article has no clue what a kamikaze drone even looks like – let alone have any idea what damage it might do.
I have a feeling the whole point of these attacks is to get Ukraine to use up all their missiles.

Hi Mark,
I’m not in favour one way or the other. My point is that if the new oracles intend to prevent climate change and head for net zero (Or lower if there’s money in it), then they must surely be in favour of banning, well, pretty much anything enjoyable. One FA cup final, I would guess, involves 40-50 000 cars averaging 100 miles. So ban it. My favourite way of winding up these wonderkids is to ask them if they have a dog. Most of them seem to. Want to make maximum reduction on your carbon footprint? Kill the dog. You either want all these reforms or you don’t.
Or maybe they just enjoy having their vegan snouts in the biggest con since covid 19. Came from a lab, you say? Well there’s a turnip for the books.

Turkish election victory for Erdogan leaves nation divided (BBC) – the familiar BBC formula there emphasising that ‘right-ish’ leaders divide – even when they win elections.
Personally one would award the islamist-leaning Erdogan no stars or crescents but he certainly seems to have given our BBC boys and girls the hump: But his call for unity sounded hollow as he ridiculed his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu – and took aim at a jailed Kurdish leader and the LGBT community. (BBC)
On a positive note, the Telegraph at least has got to grips with those basic inevitable universal economic forces that work like gravity: Rent rise blamed on higher immigration – the Torygraph takes care to take an editorial side-step and attribute the statement to some right-leaning think tank – but when you are given a rare present it’s the thought thant counts. Mr AsI likes the term hyper-immigration since frankly we’ve now gone way beyond mass immigration

TO quote Agent Smith of “The Matrix” I’ve had a revelation, a few days ago which I would like to share with readers because I’m pretty sure they don’t know about this either.
ESG scores environmental, social, and governance, are a scoring system akin to Chinas social credit system and if a company doesn’t have a high enough score they will find access to credit impossible, or more expensive depending on the score.
Now in the past based on media disinformation I was under the mistaken belief that this was all about green nonsense, but it isn’t. Under the Mafia Democrats the S Social function is being used in a Fascist manner to control companies and what they do.
I like many others saw companies like Annheiser Busch using some trannie as a decision made by a woke marketing exec out of control, and there might be some truth in that, however the reality is far darker than that.
Under Bidens Orwellian Fascist nightmare, companies which choose to give money to religious institutions lose ESG points, and gain them when they use LGBT or Blacks in marketing campaigns. If they use White people they lose points. If they give money to the ‘right’ people they gain points, the ‘wrong’ ones and they lose them.
ESG is being used to control what companies run as marketing campaigns so when you see virtually every advert with Blacks or gays, now you know why and the Fascist control behind which is making it happen.

T, so if you give money to BAME Christian missionaries working in, say Africa, you max out your ESG score?

This is why the banksters can allow North Face, Budweiser et al to go broke. It doesn’t matter to them. Blackrock now effectively owns EVERY company on the planet. In fact, they are enjoying destroying companies like Budweiser because they are typically associated with your average American Joe. It’s a demoralisation process. They are gobbling up assets with the fake money they are printing that goes to the likes of JP Morgan and friends (owners of the FED) who are using it to buy up all of the independent banks across the West and give the rest to Blackrock and pals to manage. As you say using ESG they can bankrupt any company they choose to that won’t play ball with their nonsense. The climate scam is simply being used as an excuse to asset-strip the world in favour of the banksters.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says he believes in “forcing behaviors.” “Behaviors are going to have to change and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors and at Blackrock, we are forcing behaviors.”
You will be happy and you will own nothing isn’t a bluff.

The right have won regional elections in Spain and the Social Democrats routed. The general election will take place in the autumn and similar results are expected. This follows hard on the heels of the right winning regional elections in Greece last week and of course Meloni winning power in Italy and the Dutch farmers party giving the socialists a bloody nose.
Everywhere in EU land the socialists are in retreat . Can the right win power in the EU Parliament? If they do will they be able to overcome the socialist bureaucracy in Brussels or will we see the refusal of the socialist elite to bow to the will of the people as we have seen in the UK?
If the right can bring the anti democratic elite to heel in Brussels then it’s a great ,great pity that we left because we are getting stuffed post Brexit by all our main parties. One thing is certain , if the right triumphs in Brussels the British anti democrats won’t be applying to rejoin anytime soon.

Do you remember seeing on the tv where various religions hurt themselves to prove how devout they are. They might keep whipping themselves with a leather whip maybe with hooks or metal on to draw blood and generally cause much pain and damage just to show others how much they believe in their god or religion.
They might do things like sticking knives in themselves or stop eating until they are just a bag of bones. Maybe playing with rattlesnakes.
It’s usually primitive people (or con men) and where it’s genuine it is virtue signalling at the extreme.
When it comes to all these adverts, big companies appear to be damaging themselves just to tick boxes and show us ordinary people how virtuous they are. Bud light comes to mind but they are all at it.
Everybody can see it’s rubbish and just virtue signalling yet they go ahead annoying the majority of their market.
It’s like these primitives damaging themselves the way these virtue signalling companies are behaving, hurting themselves (sales) just to show they are woke.
Of course, lots of other examples can be found such as tv drama casting anyone who can tick boxes or promoting people because they tick boxes instead of promoting the best person for the job, all types of self harm.
We can only hope that Darwinism will get rid of all these woke types and we can get back to normal life. It’s either that or we ‘tolerate’ ourselves to extinction.

Satanism is a big thing now for the Left, they think they are so clever they can play with live coals and not get burned, so they have turned in great numbers to the open worship of Satan.
An interesting talk by an American Catholic Excorcist on You Tube talks of the Baphoment image of the great deceiver which is female on top male on the bottom, the ultimate gender fluidity which as he says is in itself Satanic.
God created man, and woman, he did not create something inbetween and to suggest he did is the deception of Satan.
I have noticed recently more and more people realising the work of Satan behind much of the so called ‘woke’ ideology Satan is now overt and clear to see he has called so many to his side against that of God.

Climate Change activism operates the same way as Witch Doctors.
There’s a drought and the village needs rain. The village collects money and sacrifices to pay the Witch Doctor to perform a rain dance.
The Witch Doctor performs a rain dance and sacrifices and ……..
a) It rains. So the Witch Doctor successfully appeased the Gods and they gave rain.
B) It doesn’t rain. The payment was inadequate, the sacrifices weren’t good enough. More money is needed.
Either way the Witch Doctor wins.
We are handing over money and sacrificing our lifestyles so they can ‘control’ climate change……

Well, British gardeners will soon have just stringy coir ‘compost’ instead of sustainable peat to use on their gardens from next year, as some EU/Leftie edict which is only followed by Germany and some other place over there, is stopping us using the stuff!
Peat is a natural sustainable product which has been used for centuries as an aid to growing crops in this part of the world, but the manic Green zealots have decided that it has to be preserved for some reason or other! I always thought that humans actually came top of the tree, not invertebrates and insects…
The argument that the use of peat is nodded through as it means that when it is cut and used, it releases CO2, and stops the laughable ‘net-zero’ target from being ‘achieved’. What utter bollocks!
Canada has so much peat, it is a rising and developing commodity, but apparently, Brits and companies producing compost have to use a product which is grown in Asia, harvested, and all the salt washed out of it with a scarce water supply, then shipped in huge conatiner boats all that way to the British Isles for a very expensive and not very good substitute!
I never voted for this catastrophe, but any normal British pastime or hobby like gardening is never going to figure anywhere near the flawed ideals of the fanatical left-wing Green morons.
The BBC are always implicit in their support for this disgraceful limitation for home gardeners everywhere! Their gardening programmes are now a pathetic joke and well worth ignoring!
I never thought that a timeless pastime like gardening and producing my own crops and flowers would be tarnished by such a failed design for future generations who actually want to do something, and which excludes the twisted ideals of a little autistic kid from some Scandinavian cult.

Charlie and Tomo, it really is a sad indictment of a useless policy just ruining a ‘traditional’ lifestyle for normal British people.
This ridiculous scramble to achieve a spurious level of Co2 in an ever-changing environment has made billionaires of so many canny dealers, the mind boggles at the stupidity of our politicians even more!
Your Grandfather was one of the best people ever to judge nature as it was meant to be, not what some airhead with a non-degree in politics and idiocy would eventually bring to our useless government.
Luckily, I have enough room at home to stockpile enough peat to last me and my family through to my dotage, which at this rate, is lengthening due to the fact that I don’t always buy the crap churned out by supermarkets…
…the same supermarkets which overcharge a gullible public to fund their woke food banks for the feckless…

Scroblene ,
Always remember his wise words ” the answer lies in the soil ” , As children we used to stay with them and the Fruit and Vegetables were amazing ….. the Tomato greenhouse and the taste of them wow , I’ve tried to grow something similar but never could . I remember one thing that was done was Horse Manure ( BBC speciality ! ) from the Stables in hessian sacks and dropped in to the water tank …..cheap nutrients and it obviously worked !

Ukraine war: General Kyrylo Budanov promises revenge after latest Kyiv attack
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65740839
‘All the missiles were shot down, officials said, and there were no reports of casualties.’
My God, we have entered cuckoo land. Ridiculous claims by Ukraine reported verbatim by the BBC who it seems are no longer including any qualifying statement that the headline might not be true.
That means things are getting desperate.
I have to admit that these waves of drone strikes are tactical genius by Russia. Ukraine are using $500,000 missiles against $20,000 ‘simple’ kamikaze drones. It means that if the counter offensive ever actually starts, Ukraine are going to be very short on anti-aircraft missiles which is very, very bad news indeed for troops on the ground.
I wonder how long it will be before questions start being asked about why the West is giving so many billions to Ukraine if they are going to lose. The whole thing is escalating out of control. Why is nobody trying to stop it and reach some kind of compromise while we still can ?.

Kyiv Ken ? – anybody?
I’m getting pissed off with idiotic CGI tedium being hosed into my YouTube alongside the rousing vids to gee-up the cannon fodder and farcical tactical victory claims.
I don’t watch BBC stuff beyond some clips that make their way out away from the channels and the general impression from that is mendacious crap.
The asymmetric tech tactics are to be expected – and the decoying will get “smarter” – the Russians will be spotting all the acquisition radars. Likely the 2nd hand western tanks will be lured into traps and picked off.
I’ve yet to hear a convincing explanation of the USS Donald Cook incident.
Nuland, Sullivan, Graham and shot away ‘ole Joe and the rest of the war mongers deserve a hiding and incarceration.

What is worrying me at the back of my brain is the knowledge that Russia are being given direct experience to learn about warfare with the latest weapons the West has.
The astute observer will realise that all mention of HIMARS and the turkish kamikaze drone – both war winning game changers – have been completely dropped from the propaganda by the likes of the BBC. No explanation – they just disappeared overnight.
It’s because Russia have learned that they can easily jam the weak GPS signal and render them useless.
Same as they have learned to revert to artillery barrages followed by ground assaults instead of armoured assaults – thus rendering our amazing anti-tank missiles pointless.
The Russian equipment is low technology, brute-force and ignorance stuff which now has them winning this war after they learned a lot of lessons the hard way. The USA are now sending Ukraine their very latest equipment because they are getting desperate. If WW3 really breaks out, the Russians have already been through their learning curve. The USA and the rest of us have not.

I’m sure I’ve read that NATO tanks are being converted to electric motors . This is an excellent idea since the number of charging points is being increased a lot .
It’s important that battles are as ‘green ‘ as possible and that the air isn’t polluted ….
…Also – I think it is unlikely that the Russians will attack unless they’ve had adequate diversity and health / safety training – there is an embargo on such training so they’ll have to wait ….

Fed, do I assume that if I ‘transition’ then a Russian soldier will not shoot me?
After Blair and Clinton did their ‘climate change’ thing and Clinton insisted that ‘Stealth’ bombers could not fly from friendly nation bases but only from US soil in order to bomb Iraq (in punishment for breaching the ‘no-fly-zone’ sanction) I tried to find out how much heat was generated by a single bullet.
In the back of my head was lurking the history of early machine guns that had to be water cooled otherwise they overheated and a distorted barrel meant that two rounds could chase each other to extinction along with that of the soldier firing the gun. I’m sure a significant amount of global warming is released every time a trigger is pulled.

Ah, if only there had been some sort of, I don’t know, maybe historic precedent or something, that demonstrates the way Russia fights wars. Okay, I appreciate that mostly they have been on the receiving end in wars, being invaded by the Germans, French, Poles, Swedes and so on over the centuries. But, let’s suppose they have learned from the experiences and will apply it in other conflicts. If only we could work out what it was – it’s such a mystery to military historians, just one of those things we can never know…
Re the work experience girl on Toady moaning on about Kiev having come under attack for three nights. She might like to read about the sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad during WWII and ponder what those experiences have left on the Russian psyche.

Yes – big differences – the Russian memory of the Great Patriotic War is so very strong . Whereas the British kidult version does know much about any of it – apart from Tom Hanks of course.
Comparing the Ukrainians to nazis is really gonna hit the patriotic button – as well as the belief that Russia is surrounded by ever more hostile American proxies – like us .

‘Speaking truth to power’ is a very BBC phrase.
Everyone in this clip is BBC or ex BBC.
Now, slagging off an inept party/government is fine.

Vlad the Bad.
Surely Getty’s could mock up some more diverse ones

TOADY Watch #1 – Harshmistress Mishal dominates TOADY doesn’t she ….
…. but she has a soft spot for the people of Kyviv after they have had to endure three nights of Russian air attacks. Three nights? Three nights?! Incredible!
London and Londoners (my parents among them) had to endure over eight months of the Blitz during WW2, including 56 out of 57 nights of continuous bombing. Maybe Harshmistress Mishal Husain should do a little research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz (usual disclaimers) might be a starting point.
