    Covid inquiry: The questions we really want answers to

    A question i’d like to know, why did certain people not bother to clean their hands and use hand sanitizer also, but then complained they were in a higher risk category based on colour of their skin

      For him, the key question is: How can we better protect people when there is another pandemic?

      So they want to know: How did the UK get to have such complex and confusing rules?

      So her big ask is: How are we going to support children to recover and avoid such harm in future pandemics?

      For Association of Directors of Public Health president Prof Jim McManus, it comes down one basic question: How do we avoid lockdowns in future pandemics?

      So his key question is: What should be done to tackle staffing shortages, so we don’t face the situation again?

      So they want to know: How should the system be changed “so we can work out the trade-offs” of the decisions we make?

    Meanwhile the latest attack in Nottingham…

    I’ve been glancing at GB News and Talk TV as this tragedy unfolds…so far three dead…

    Talk TV have been interviewing “Intelligence expert”, Anthony Glees. He’s being really careful, slipping in the old red herring about this might be “a neo-Nazi…” I mean, okay, it’s possible, but it’s “possible” Fulham could win the Premiership next season…it’s just bloody unlikely. Then he said “It might not be terrorism at all.” Well, it might not be political, but it’s certainly an act of terrorism, I’d have said.

    GB News have another expert informing us that this could be “gang related”. They’re doing their darndest to make sure we don’t think this is an attack by, Shh, you know who…

    What we always get now is the smoke and mirrors of obfuscation and confusion before the assailant is identified. By mentioning neo-Nazis Glees has given the false impression that these people are carrying out attacks on our streets on a regular basis.

    When?

    A lot of dumb TV speculation about Nottingham
    The fact is there were 3 attacks in the middle of the night in locations far apart

    “maybe he was attacking students coming out of nightclubs” .. what on a Monday night

    “Is it like the mosque attack ?”
    .. no one is near any mosque unless it’s sunrise

    Could be a guy attackng takeaway workers
    but could be a drug gang thing .. they operate in the miiddle of the night

            So much thought by criminologists into the ‘causes of crime ‘ – street disorder increases with the weather in Blighty – mainly – I think because it is so rare . The phew heat wave stuff coupled with the feral streets and lost tempers .

            Dehydration causes short tempers too …. I’m sitting in an air conditioned business lounge on the Shiraz so no worries zzzz..😜

            What concerns me is whether death was caused by a gun – in which case the ‘take the guns “ choir will be out in force ….

    Rather specific.

    They are blinded by a hate for anyone or thing not conforming to their world view. Or displeasing their more secretive masters.

    Especially a certain £5Bpa state broadcaster.

    Targeting pols is ok, if it is done on an even basis and for legitimate reasons.

    Possibly vocal high profile influencers on the same basis.

    Targeting folk you don’t like only, and with smears, allusions, critics who say, context free associations, etc is not.

    Yet that is the very basis of BBC Editorial Guided for staff or Just Good Friends present and past.

    Hence an O’Brien or Lammy gets a pass, but Scott Adams gets the full D’Unit treatment.

    The Silvio obit might be a bit different to a Nelson (several planeloads to SA version); the Begum hagiography to a Tommy (real name Toenails).

    One thing we know for sure regarding the Nottingham attacks and that is it definitely was not a white person doing it and it was not the ‘far right’

    If it was we would have been told about it 6-8 hours ago.

    They do tell us the van is white and they say that the van ‘tried to run over several people’ which may mean it is AI doing it as opposed to the driver trying to run over several people.

    Obviously a racist van, a white supremecist white van.

    Worry not, EG. The bbc are moving in their new “top slot” story seeing as the Nottingham one is not going their way. One thing always confuses me, if I’m minding my own, and some big ni66er comes running my way with a machete, my first thought isn’t going to be “I hope this isn’t terrorism related”.
    Get to the point mick. The new story is about covid. I remember when that was a thing. Apparently, “Race must be at the centre of the enquiry”, “Racism is pervasive in every aspect of life”. Before this gravy-train enquiry kicked off, I just knew it was going to all be my fault.

        To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle. One thing that helps toward it is to keep a diary, or, at any rate, to keep some kind of record of one’s opinions about important events. Otherwise, when some particularly absurd belief is exploded by events, one may simply forget that one ever held it.

        What do we know about the suspect?
        Honestly, not very much at the moment. With this being a live investigation, police have to be careful with how many details they give out and when. For now, though, here’s what we know.

        The suspect is a man, aged 31. We don’t know if he’s from or lives in Nottingham.
        ============================================

        According to quoted witness in the Telegraph.
        2:28PM

        Murder suspect described as ‘black man with dreadlocks’
        The suspect being questioned by police on suspicion of a triple murder in Nottingham is a 31-year-old local man, The Telegraph understands

        Eyewitnesses have described the man as being black, with dreadlocks and a beard who was dressed in a hooded top, reports Martin Evans.

The idea was that if anything unexpected happened i.e. an ‘incident’ or someone saying ‘the wrong thing’, then the button could be pressed to stop it being broadcast. The BBC have now extended that delay to 24 hours where the incident is counter to the regime narrative…

            As you say, the story is now running counter to the regime’s

      The game of tennis dates back officially to 1873, when the first book of rules was published by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield of north Wales. But tennis has antecedents in ball games played with the hand that evolved in Europe before the Renaissance.

      Read more: http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Tennis-Racket.html#ixzz84Wq7mmti

      Aluminum rackets are usually made of one of several alloys. One popular alloy contains 2% silicon, as well as traces of magnesium, copper, and chromium. Another widely used alloy contains 10% zinc, with magnesium, copper, and chromium. The zinc alloy is harder, though more brittle, and the silicon alloy is easier to work. Composite rackets may contain many different materials. They usually consist of a sandwich of different layers around a hollow core or a polyurethane foam core. The typical layers of a composite racket are fiberglass, graphite, and boron or kevlar. Other materials may be used as well, such as ceramic fibers for added strength.

      Other materials found in tennis rackets are nylon, gut, or synthetic gut for the strings, and leather or synthetic material for the handle grip. Nylon is probably the most common string material, and only a few professionals still use gut, which is made from twisted cow or sheep intestine. Synthetic gut is made from nylon which has been twisted to achieve the same effect as natural gut. Old wooden rackets usually used a leather handle grip, but modern rackets generally use a leather-like replacement such as vinyl. Rackets may have plastic parts too, such as the yoke at the base of the head and the cap at the bottom of the handle.

          Glastonbury Festival: Levels of illegal drugs high enough to harm wildlife found in river running through site
          During the festival levels of MDMA and cocaine in the water were so high they could affect the lifecycles of certain protected species of wildlife further downstream, researchers discovered.

          Samples were taken from the Whitelake River both upstream and downstream of the site of the festival.

          The researchers found MDMA concentrations quadrupled the week after the festival, suggesting the long-term release of drugs from the site.

    BBC Live report on the Nottingham murders:

    What do we know about the suspect?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65888114

    ‘Honestly, not very much at the moment. With this being a live investigation, police have to be careful with how many details they give out and when. For now, though, here’s what we know.

    The suspect is a man, aged 31. We don’t know if he’s from or lives in Nottingham.

    Following a report by BBC News’ home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford, we know that the attacker, who remains in police custody, may have some mental health issues.’

    Not ‘honestly’ at all BBC. We know something very significant about the attacker. He’s black.

    Yet you have already discovered he has mental health issues !!. Remarkable work !!.

    As predicted, the entire story is about the victims, not the attacker or the attack. Standard reporting from the racist BBC while they delay talking about who did it until the story dies down.

      ‘may have some mental health issues’

      According to Fearon P, Kirkbride JB, Morgan C, et al. in ‘Incidence of schizophrenia and other psychoses in ethnic minority groups: results from the MRC AESOP Study, Psychol Med, 2006, vol. 36 (pg. 1541-50)’, there is a a 9-fold higher rate of schizophrenia among individuals of Afro-Caribbean ethnicity, and nearly a 6-fold increased risk of schizophrenia among individuals of Black African descent compared with Whites. These figures relate to the UK.

      Questions:
      Why would a country knowingly import people who have a higher propensity towards mental illness, given that there are genetic markers associated with schizophrenia?

      When we are told that there are benefits from immigration, does that take into account the cost of treating such conditions, and the social cost associated with the consequences of some individuals who become paranoid schizophrenics and perform violent acts?

    From the telegraph today: (by Michael Deacon)
    How the BBC can win back Tory viewers

    To help shed its metropolitan liberal image, the BBC is reportedly examining ways it can ensure that new recruits have a “diverse” range of opinions. Presumably, this will entail hiring some people who vote Tory. A nice idea. There’s just one small problem.

    Metropolitan liberals tend not to have any Tory friends. As a result, they have a somewhat distorted idea of what a Tory actually is. So I dread to think what the job interviews will be like. I have an unhappy vision of BBC executives earnestly asking candidates whether they think the Government should bring back hanging for single mothers, or whether all cyclists should be deported to the moon.

    Of course, the whole task would be perfectly straightforward if they could just ask candidates how they vote. But they can’t do that. So the BBC needs to think up a subtler way of finding out which candidates are Tories.

    Happily, I have a suggestion. As most BBC executives are doubtless aware, an awful lot of Tories these days don’t like the BBC terribly much. In fact, many loathe it with a passion.

    If the BBC wants to find out which job candidates are Tories, therefore, the question it should ask is: “Do you think the BBC should be abolished?”

    Hire all the ones who say yes!

        And why does the BBC find itself incapable of photographing or scanning the Guardian newspaper when it has 20,000 staff and offices in two major cities and a huge number of the Guardian newspaper delivered to both? The Guardian has been missing from the BBC Blog ‘The Papers’ over twenty times this year alone.

        Is it because they have missed out the Sun newspaper, imho not a quality newspaper, approximately fifty times this year for some peculiar semblance of editorial ‘balance’? And why, with the colossal resources of the BBC are they incapable of getting newspapers in the Blog sharp and why is it the Daily Telegraph that is usually out of focus, but not the Guardian?

        But it IS their BBC, just not anybody else. When they say OUR they really mean hands off our public funded institution of TRUTH as the liberal left see the world through the social(ist) prism. They will literally go the the ends of the Earth to find the flimsiest evidence that – their own ‘clock is right twice a day’. The Met Office admits it also feeds ‘dire’ stories to the (UK) BBC as that is what they ask for.

        Its presenters by their own admission (Jeremy Vine step forward) are ‘biased’ – but say so the BBC as that is ‘balance’ in the global news feed as identified by Nick Robinson and Co, only yesterday, claimed only they, (the mighty BBC) are unbiased. Whilst in reply, next day ex BBC man Robin Aitkin said (quite rightly) that all broadcaster are in fact biased (like GB News which is like fresh air to the UK) but the BBC lied about News and encourages its staff to manipulate the truth (via edits) and put a negative left spin on it. The fact that they all read The Guardian (for inspiration), when nobody else does, as it still has the lowest newspaper circulation in the country) speaks volumes.

        That and the Left have no money of their own so rely TOTALLY on public taxes, and rely on the civil-service who are never that far away from a 3 day week!, or strike (or both). Voila BBC in a nutshell, they own it, let them have it and they can pay for it.

        No more TV subscription! Let them own that.

        Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System
        Remarks prepared for delivery at press briefing.

        Good morning. I’m here to give you an update on the FBI’s investigation of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State.

        After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI is completing its investigation and referring the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what we found; and what we are recommending to the Department of Justice.

        https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system

        As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.

        I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.

    France: ‘Christian’ who stabbed children on playground turns out to be a Muslim named Selwan Majd

    Here is what is circulating from Syrians living in France and Germany who recognized the madman of Allah. And this was confirmed by relatives of Father Boulad in Alexandria…

    To be continued.

    From the beginning we said that it cannot be a Christian… and that it has the signs of being done by a Muslim…

    The assailant is said to be a Syrian refugee named Selwan Majd…

    He claimed his name was Abd El-Messih Hanoun, but his real name is “Selwan Majd,” a refugee from Al-Hasakah in northern Syria.

    He had traveled to Turkey with false papers where he met a Swedish tourist and made her believe he was a Muslim convert to Christianity.

    He married her in Sweden under the false Christian name, but the Swedish authorities doubted him and refused to grant him citizenship, later his wife separated from him.

    In France, he went to seek help in a church but the church also doubted him.

    He committed his crime by wearing a cross, claiming he was a Christian in order to hide his terrorist nature.

    Unfortunately, the European authorities have acquired a lot of false information recorded either by the refugees themselves or by the Turkish authorities.

    Thousands of people infiltrated European countries and became sleeper cells.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – a welcome chance to praise the BBC!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gaelic-games/65064562
    To my mind this is what the BBC should be doing at its finest level but so often we have to put up with the dross of the BBC with someone on the BBC payroll who cannot even dress properly for a BBC PR pic “we know how hard you have been working on this” who thinks removing democratically elected Prime MInisters is all in a days ‘work’ for a Beeboid.

    This article on the BBC web-site ‘informed’, ‘educated’ and ‘entertained’ me. It informed and educated me that Aussie Rules Football is based on Gaelic Football and that Gaelic Football is played quite widely in south-east Asia. And it ‘entertained’ me with a good read. Why don’t the BBC concentrate on doing this instead of removing Prime Ministers and Ministers from office?

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #3 – was it taken down?

    I feel certain that I saw a photo of a woman in bed under a waffle blanket with her right forearm resting on her forehead illustrating a BBC article possibly entitled ‘Ten tips for sleeping on a hot night’ or ‘Difficulty in sleeping on a hot night?’ I was going to post a link here and deal with it under the usual head. It was a stupid photo to choose 1. because forearm on forehead only makes the head hotter, and, 2. waffle blanket, really? Why?

    Hopefully if it was ‘Ten tips for sleeping on a hot night’ the BBC had at 1. sleep just under a cotton sheet, 2. put a flannel soaked in cold water on your forehead but not your arm, and, 3. if it is really hot and there is room in the refrigerator, cool the pillow in the ‘frige’ first before trying to get to sleep on it.

      4. Open windows – seriously, a ‘trick’ learned in hot countries. Always keep all your curtains drawn during hot, sunny days (it works best if they’re thermal/thermally lined curtains), and open the windows on the shady side of the house, keeping those on the sunny side closed (double glazed windows work best), if the sun moves during the day, close the windows on the sunny side and open those on the shady. Hot air should be drawn from inside the house and replaced with cooler air from outside on the shady side. In the evening, as the sun starts to abate, draw the curtains and open the windows on both sides of the house – there is normally a cooling breeze in the evening, and the air outside should cool more rapidly than that inside, making for airflow and a comfortable night.

      In really hot countries (Australia) people sometimes sleep in the bath, in a little tepid (not ice cold – especially if you have a dodgy ticker!) water, just remember you can drown in 2″(5cm). Lying in water in a t-shirt/PJs helps because the water soaks through the cloth and stops it from evaporating so quickly (same principle as the damp cloth on the forehead).

      very few former slaves wanted to move to Africa.

      The back-to-Africa movement was based on the widespread belief among some European Americans in the 18th and 19th century United States that African Americans would want to return to the continent of Africa. In general, the political movement was an overwhelming failure; very few former slaves wanted to move to Africa.
