Fed, I already have. Can you leap-frog Brissles over this post, please? It is still the cricket season and England have lost another Ashes Test Match. 🙁
Have a good week everyone, despite the BBC. 🙂
Emmanuel, please get your coat………
. I used to listen to BBC Radio 5 regularly until Brexit and Covid came along. I found Radio 5 to be biased, metropolitan and Socialist and stopped listening. However…….
In the early hours this weekend I had the misfortune of turning the car radio on. Normally tuned to my local BBC station I found that the output was actually BBC Radio 5 Live. The program presented by what appeared to be a collection of gays/trans appeared to be promoting trans rights, transitioning, drag queen s in schools etc. I gave it five minutes to make sure I understood what the program was about. The BBC are relentlessly worke.
2018 BBC news story made a wild claim that temperatures were set to rise by 1C per decade
so 5C warmer by 2070

Advice for France:
The thing about toxic relationships, is, there comes a time when you say just GO
We dont even know why you are here, you dislike our culture, you have never visited a bookshop or a music shop,
just please go, we are not racists, whatever that means, we just do not like violence, hatred and intolerance.
or our churches and cathedrals suddenly catching fire.
At least in France the police and the army will stand for France and some major political parties back such a stand. In the UK if you said anything like millions of French people do they would lock you up, cancel your bank account etc etc.
with each passing month I am beginning to think that the Europeans might be able to get rid of their globalist elites and be able to get their act together and halt the migration , legal and illegal . How will the hyperglobalists elites react to the challenge of the people?
Leaving the EU might possibly no have been a wise move .
You may have a point. I voted Leave, as I wanted to see just how INCOMPETENT we are in this country – we don’t do ANYTHING well here; and said to many of my mates, that in a few years it would be just like the 70s; boy was I right.
Baltimore shooting: Two dead and 28 injured in mass casualty event, police say
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66079407
I almost forgot about this story – I was just reminded about it on the last sub-pane before it slips off the BBC news page completely.
It’s like they don’t care about this story at all. That tells me 100% it was black people murdering other black people. But we aren’t told that of course.
What is significant about this shooting is that it isn’t one far-right wierdo – it’s multiple sane people doing it in cold blood. This is far worse because it’s not a one-off. They will kill again.
But no leftist anti-white racist agenda in it so the BBC are not interested. They have no shame at all.
JohnC
I do wonder about the motivation behind why some killings hit the ‘big time ‘ and others just hit page 7 below the crease .
For instance – in my local londonistan rag – there is a story of one ethnic teen murdering another . He illegally bought 2 specially designed swords online – travelled from Birmingham to londistan – left his phone behind – hired a push bike and went looking for his victim – in disguise of course .
He got caught via CCTV and being dumb enough to use his own bank card to hire the bike .
No motive was established at trial ( why) and it wasn’t the 1st time the paki was convicted of violent weapon use .
But the above didn’t feature in the ‘big ‘ press ….
I’ve concluded that the choice of articles for the front page depends entirely on the BBC agenda. Articles which nudge people towards thinking approved thoughts are pushed to the headlines and those which ‘are not helpful for the agenda’ are kept away from sight.
It’s dirty mind-game trickery and it’s exactly how the BBC push their left-wing bias without having to put it explicitly in the text. A proper analysis of all the front-page headlines, how often they got follow-on articles and how long they stayed on the front page would expose them for exactly what they are – but OFCOM are not interested in that at all. They support it.
Today
No irony alert . Poor’ our Justin ‘ sounds so bored with it all . He has to chat to another bbc type about some crap Tory thing on ‘limiting immigration ‘. Our Justin doesn’t realise the depth of feeling about what is going on .
Anyway – this tedious chat was preceded by French riots – night 5? 6? – which is what happens when third world immigration gets out of hand . We will get our dose of trouble …

And Fatima and Mohammed, that goes for you too.
A match between rival football fans in memory of the victims of the Nottingham attacks will “show unity and bring everyone together”, a chairman says. (BBC) – Mr AsI had no idea whatever that those stabbings to death of three innocent people in Nottingham recently had anything to do with tensions between rival football fans – but you live and learn, I suppose.
Speaking of rival sports fans

Caring less about cricket – the ‘run out ‘ was priceless and very well executed – as was the great Long Room ambush – for which three members have been hanged in the car park .
Surely cricket must import the security and crowd controls football uses ….
“If this is allowed to continue batsmen will be compelled to wear baseball masks and heavy padding. Then the fast bowlers could fire away until they were worn out.” quote from newspaper column about the Bodyline series, late 1920s.
Is that you marky 😜?
1920 is too early for me!
Come on marky – put that one up about the labour MP taking a £500 k bung from the Peoples Republic of China – I always like that one ….
But on a more serious non BBC note – Liam Halligan – always entertaining as economics correspondents go – wrote in the DT of the blue labour tax scam which – because personal income tax allowances are ‘frozen ‘ means more and more workers are hitting the 40% tax level – he reckons 25% of nurses – for instance ….
And this blue labour freeze is listed to continue until 2028 – which on his sums means in real life 5p more income tax than the existing level .
For the record I’m a long way off hitting the 40% level …..it’s just wrong ….
Cricket: The Australians don’t muck about, they want to win and will do whatever it takes.
Immigration: The Australians don’t muck about, they don’t want illegal immigrants in their country so tow the boats back.
As an armchair umpire I recall – when I played for the Londonistan Jihadists – that to always guard your crease thingy and don’t allow some snide ball thrower to get you out .
I suppose the entitled England bat people don’t think the rules apply to them …
My bet on a draw looks iffy …
‘Cricket: The Australians don’t muck about, they want to win and will do whatever it takes.’
But our England representative international sports teams, be they male or female, football or cricket teams, have realised the very point of the game is to celebrate diversity – not to win the match. Just ask Gareth Southgate
Sadly, my impression of cricket over the last few years, is that you expect Pakistan and India to cheat, you expect South Africa to beat your brains out as soon as look at you, and you accept that after the sandpaper affair, Australia would stop at nothing to ‘win’. I can’t remember anything too bad about NZ though!
Perhaps Stokesy could start a new ‘Bodyline’ attack, especially at Carey…
But then I’m pure British, and nowadays we don’t do that sort of thing!
(Mind you, in my rugby days, the hardest punch I ever took was from our hooker, and as I was tight-head prop, it didn’t have far to travel…)!
Thinking about it – maybe rather than hanging the x3 MMC members – they should just have their bank accounts closed …
The BBC report that dog attacks on postmen are up 15%. “Even the most lovable dog will attack if it thinks its territory is being invaded.”
The British Bulldog is telling us something.
More Postmen are BAME these days. Might have something to do with it.
TOADY Watch #1 – temperatures below what is expected for this time of year
‘TEMPERATUREGATE’ Watch #1 – temperatures below what is expected for this time of year
Simon King brought us the weather forecast on BBC R4 this morning and it is going to be, even in the south and south-east of England, a tad chilly this week until may be Thursday or Friday. Typical English pre-Global Warming summer, then? But, but, BBC News splutters “June was the hottest month evvah in the UK”. I would disagree. Bits of it were hot, after the first week it was ‘really quite pleasant’ in a Private Godfrey sort of style.
But there’s bad news. 1. The Energy Companies, mostly Centrica, are warning that gas will be more expensive next winter. And the Director of the International Energy Commission in an interview with Sean Farrington said Labour’s plans to ban oil and gas exploration/extraction in the UK is OK as there is plenty of oil and gas in the world despite China hoovering it all up as their economy recovers.
And a final note from the sunny south-east, ‘garden of England’ – it is very cold down here, I’m back to three layers but the shirt is short-sleeved.
The kidults seem to think the British weather should conform to some approved plan . Anyone who has been around a bit knows this ain’t the case .
They seem to be in a perpetual state of ‘self climate fear ‘(ok conditioned by idiots like Greta and the science industry )
It’s witch craft witch craft since records began . Now the weather from Tamas… sing us a song tamas .. you’re too big for sunny spells and showers …
The Telegraph reports that , presumably on the back of the Farage scandal, the Chancellor is worried about the banks cancelling people’s accounts because they have ‘controversial’ views.
My understanding is that Mr Farage went to seven other banks to open an account and was refused by all of them. So this isn’t one bank taking exception to a person’s opinions but the whole industry. It must be an industry wide coordinated attack on Mr Farage. Who would have the power to coordinate such an attack ? Well obviously the government either from the political bosses or the Treasury civil servants . Were they acting off their own bat or were they doing someone else’s bidding? If so who and why?
We have already seen state power used to silence Tommy Robinson amongst others. We have seen Ofcom shut down Mark Steyn. We know people who go against the narrative are cancelled not by the mob but by the state. We know that forthcoming legislation is going to make clamping down on dissenting views on the Internet much easier for the state.
This attack on dissent and free speech is world wide. The Australian proposed legislation is very draconian . It’s all getting closer and closer to 1984.
These’ coordinated attacks’ are a sure sign of some fascist state control. I wonder how they do it.
One of their new methods is the ‘BBC’s trusted news’ channel they created. They can get agenda-articles to appear simultaneously across dozens of news sites and flood news streams.
I know I keep saying it – but I really do believe we are witnessing the rise of the new Nazis. They have evolved for the 21st century and are removing the opposition in stages : each time they move the ‘acceptable’ line out a little bit more.
Hello JohnC
Dont agree with the bbc, you could be racist, right wing, Trump supporter, etc
China, here we come!
We are certainly witnessing a period of revolutionary change. But I think it’s not Nazi or Facist because it’s corner stone is globalisation and the creation of a world ruling elite class. It’s more important to belong to that technocratic class , or to be one of its many little helpers, than it is to be of a certain race or nationality. It’s anywheres v somewheres and the anywheres are winning hands down. Most somewheres don’t even realise what is happening.
But the intolerance and ruthless suppression of any opposition that is increasingly on display , is taken straight from the playbook of totalitarianism revolutions and Orwell. Democracy is at least in intensive care if not already dead.
Double, will the BBC be springing Marianna into action to ‘verify’ what is going on with Nigel Farage and the Banks?
No, I didn’t think so.
Katie Hopkins:
I’m intrigued about what she says about ‘what is coming next ‘ and a dread it …
Many thanks for this. A expose of the risk of speaking the truth in the UK in 2023.
Plus the banks are deliberately goading their customers. In the rare occasions I walk into my bank there are Alphabet flags everywhere.
I almost feel the AI cameras crawling all over me. The algorithms are saying: “just make one false move punk”.
But then I remember this could never ever ever happen in blighty.
I know it takes a real effort to believe that this sort of thing is happening in the UK. It simply was unimaginable even ten years ago that something like this could happen. God knows what things will be like in another ten years.
Double – I recall – back in the late 1970s reading a book called ‘future shock ‘ ….
It skirted the internet but thought there would be more isolation . ..
…. But the big ‘take away ‘(omg) was that the rate of change would accelerate – so trying predict 10 years out is tricky .
My favourite recurring one is that people will be able to marry their pets …. In which case I’d be decidedly single …
“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there,”
– L.P. Hartley
Same could be said of the future.
I can’t believe how radically things have changed in my (52 now!) year lifetime.
Multigenerational discussions about the state of the world in our family are always interesting.
My parents (both 80, and unlike Biden still sharp as a whistle), usually laugh at the concerns of their offspring and grandchildren – they just say “We’ve seen it all before, this collective madness is a cycle that repeats itself, twice over during our lifetimes now.”
They claim we’re in for a massive swing to the ‘far right’ in the coming years – looking at what’s happening in EUland, and listening to many among the younger generation, they might be right. The BBC (as always) is lagging behind…
Fed, Alvin Tofler was the author unless I am mistaken.
Yes that’s right upto – well remembered . I must re read it …
I read it to, by Alvin Toffler I think. One thing he said that people would find the rate of change , technological change , very hard to keep up with .
He was right , I just switched off when I retired and so there are many techno things , even very simple ones to those in the know, that I can’t do. I expect that my Luddism will catch up with me one day.
Double – I found the view of accelerating change – some good – some bad – quite useful as I have tried to keep up and understand what the hell is going on .
One of the biggest problem I have is trying to understand the mindset of the woke – who in my view – are just inexperienced naive kidults who might grow up without doing too much harm ,..
Speaking for myself only I regard many young British folk as the products of a decade or more of indoctrination not education. What they don’t know astonishes me , but what they believe frightens me.
Critically they believe that all be well with our invaders if they atone for the evils perpetrated by earlier generations of Brits. They also , along with many adults , even ones my age , 71, believe in the climate catastrophe and the vital necessity of Net Zero.
I wonder if they will still hold these beliefs as they are turfed out of their freezing cold houses and forcibly converted to Islam.
I’m free from the bbc
Presumably the context is irrelevant?
Nice tan, Lewis.
Guest, please note that the rest of us have no idea what you are talking about. Please explain to us non-Twitterati what your post means or put up a screen grab, like tomo does.
Mao did more good than harm (c) Diane Abbott
……………..
The Great Leap Forward 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]
I had to chuckle at the R4 BBC ‘News’ at 0900.
“Senior Tories warn the Government that if they do not stop the rubber boats immediately, the public will lose faith in the Government”.
Message to “Senior Tories” –
The people have no faith whatever in the Tory Government. The people have had no faith in Government for years.
A new Government Petition?
Subject: Stand aside and vacate No.10 & No.11 and abolish the Cabinet. The people have concluded that the crop of current MP’s and the Government should stand aside and allow the people to take over until a proper voting system and governmental system/strategy is in place and all ‘plastic’ imitation MP’s are banished.
I have decided to re identify as a wimin
which means I can piss in any bog available
and if anyone objects I can assualt them and tell the to f’ck right off

I will also bully everyone at work, interrupt them at meetings and endlessly complain
It will be called “feisty”
so there, I’m, also thick as pig shit, black and a vice president
As a 65-year-old 12-stone 5′ 10″ white male, I have chosen to identify as a 19-year-old 30-stone 6′ 4″ Chinese woman. And I am easily offended, so watch what you say. 🙂

Loads of bbc propaganda to read, personally I’m washing my hair
Andy last week there was a video going round showing a speeding yellow Mercedes which looked the same as the one driven by the Paris teenager. BBC boasted of their epistemic prowess that “It is possible to confirm the claim is false. BBC Verify zoomed in on the number plate of the speeding car…”
BBC says Verify “is a highly specialised team with a range of forensic and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities that enable them to go beyond conventional newsroom techniques.”
Specialised? Forensic? It’s a bunch of teenagers who have just learnt how to use zoom in Picture Editor. Never has a service been so ridiculously oversold.
Hello Terminal
The bbc staff have been to university and know all the answers
Wait until they have lived a little and maybe they will regret joining the bbc, its certainly not something I’d would be proud of
Similarly, I am an expert in the field of crime as I watch both Traffic Cops AND Police Interceptors.
Virtually every episode of those programmes features number plate offences – altered ones, fake ones stuck on with double sided, multiple plates in the boot and so on.
Perhaps BBC Verify can add watching Channel 5 and 5 Action to its newsroom techniques.
Always amuses me that the kindergarten klimat eds enthuse that stuff like the Great Barrier Reef or Great Wall of China can be seen… from space!

I’ve just stopped by monthly standing order with my local authority for Council Tax.
And following, stopped my monthly standing order with my local Water Authority.
Both to convert to cash over the Post Office counter. Simple process.
That’s now Road Tax as well. I feel freer immediately. Bank/cash/CBDC?
Bank – Go f*ck yourself…………
Just off to fill up with lovely diesel.
Careful with the council tax – I got fined because I paid within the month but they had changed the condition so that it had to be paid on the first – ….
I’ve just met a Chinese drug addict.
He said “Have you seen MY COCAINE”
I said “Not since I last watched Zulu”
The bbc bias is becoming increasingly offensive. Faced with the plain fact that the riots in France are all to do with entitled moslim filth deciding that they are being wronged and that destroying the country is entirely reasonable as whitey will have to put it right, the bbc are in a dilema.
The call goes out “Quick find a story where these savages are the victims!” Next day, main story “Israel launches attach on Palestinian camp”.
One story interested me, though. Apparently the Australians are keeping the empty Nauru detention camp in commission in case it’s needed. And there is us with thousands of unwanted invaders and nowhere safe to keep them. There’s a plan that would work. I’d gladly have my taxes go to Australia instead of some african warlord.
I’m still waiting for the update where steven lawrence had just converted to islam and was on his way to the mosque.
Guardian: “A monument to French rage: buses torched in riots over police killing”
I note the very strange description of wide scale rioting, looting and urban destruction as worthy of the title of ‘monument’, but then immigrant rage always gets a sympathetic treatment from the media class. What more noble way to demonstrate your indignation than by petrol bombing a bus depot?
Native rage must not exist, because I’m repeatedly told that we’re only concerned with love, healing and unity.

‘Riots do not honour Nahel’
There have been about 80 arrests in France overnight in a sixth night of unrest following the death of a teenager at a police traffic stop. Tens of thousands of police were deployed again last night. The rioting has seen thousands arrested, shops looted and hundreds of vehicles set alight across the country. President Emmanuel Macron is due to meet mayors from cities and towns affected by the violence later today. Nahel M was shot point-blank by police after failing to stop for a traffic check last Tuesday. One of his relatives told the BBC they never called for hate or riots. “All of this is not for Nahel,” they said. Our correspondent Katya Adler says President Macron is fervently hoping the protesters – and tag-along vandals – give up and go home soon, for so many reasons.

The child image in the family handout looks like beurre would not melt, even in a torched Renault. How did that Floydesque rap sheet get acquired?
Still, it seems it was a honour killing, so no in depth BBC reporting, right… BBC?
‘Tag along vandalism’… pour la merite, Katya. Silly moo.
Breaking a sign is the wrong kind of monument to rage: “Proud Boys to pay church $1 million for destroyed ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign”
“The judge said that replacing the sign and protecting the church cost only $36,626.78. ‘But compensatory damages alone will not address the defendants’ reprehensible conduct or the extraordinary emotional trauma suffered by the church and its congregants,’ he wrote. ‘To the members of the church, the burning of the Black Lives Matter sign represented a complete negation of their right to worship […] and forced them to harken back to the long and painful history of white supremacists committing wanton acts of violence against Black churches.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/06/30/black-lives-matter-church-sign-burned-proud-boys/
Remind me, were there any riots, looting or protests by the white French when 12-year-old Lola Daviet was sexually assaulted and murdered in Paris in 2022 by an Algerian immigrant (female)?
I could look on the BBC news website … then again, perhaps not.
I must say that I’m rather worried, not to say irritated, by the general narrative regarding the French “protests”…
I mean, FFS, the way some media outlets are discussing this you’d think these vile louts that are torching entire districts are the victims here. It’s ludicrous.
It’s not just in France, great swathes of Belgium are also reaping the inevitable rewards of mass third-world immigration. We seem to get similar outbursts whenever some thug of colour is killed. Of course, when one of them runs amok with a machete and murders babies we’re all supposed to say, “it’s drugs” or “he was a loner”, then produce mounds of floral tributes and sing, “Don’t look back in anger”. No thanks, not for me, they can shove that straight up their @rse…
Enough of the hand wringing, get in there with the army and don’t ask too many questions.
Oh, and while we’re on the subject…these Arab and African yobs that are setting France and Belgium ablaze are very similar to the ones we’re meeting in mid channel and escorting to our shores.
What could possibly go wrong…
I think that the BBC is slightly embarrassed by the Muslim rampage across France. Any justification for mass immigration lies long dead in the gutter and they know it.

Any idea why Nahel Merzouk is named by our bbc as Nahel ‘M’?
Merzouk isn’t found on their search page, as far as I could tell.
I guess the ‘M’ makes him a ‘vulnerable’ teenager (not quite old enough for a French driving licence), akin to “suspect X cannot be named for legal reasons” sort of stuff.
KC,
That makes it ‘habit’ by necessity.
Correct : I suspect that it’s French police custom to not state the full surname until court time

Clearly Rowlatt was, is and always will be a useful idiot, who somehow manages to be worse than the rest of cubicle gardens despite having day trips.
And sourcing anything, online or trout’s mouth, from the EA is, at best… journalistically as suspect a MET office press release.
The reprehensible behaviour of Sue Gray and the Labour Party over her appointment being arranged while running the anti-Tory cake enquiry is in my view a much more serious event than the gatherings at No 10 leading to the ditching of Boris.

However I expect the MSM to lead the charge to exonerate her and Starmer even though the facts speak volumes about what was really going on with lefty civil servants.
This is the sort of shifty stuff we must come to expect if Labour get into power, mirroring the despicable tactics of the Democrats in the US. If you can’t win by open and clean methods then cheat to win.
The important point about Sue Gray is that as a senior Civil Servant she would know the rules and implications of her taking that new job better than anyone.
BBC “Stars call on Wimbledon to end Barclays sponsorship”
…… Is that news or is it PR ?

Elitist lefties in France are railing against the French police fir their actions during the thug riots sweeping the Country.
If I were the chief of French police I would pull all my officers back to base and leave it to the lefties to control the violent animals running amok.
The only problem with that Digg, is that the Elitist Lefties don’t live, park their cars, or have small businesses, in the districts that are being trashed.

Thanks Dickie.
It’s always reassuring to hear someone who knows what they are talking about confirm all the things I think myself.
The only good thing about Ukraine is how it has highlighted very clearly how we cannot trust what the BBC or our own government tell us. They will both lie without conscience if it suits them.
Ok ok – it’s a swamp story – not real life – but do you remember when the BBC was fixated with the PM breaching crappy covid rules ? Every hour every day ….
…. And now ? The independent senior civil servant – responsible for integrity in public office turns out to have breached the civil service code by spying for labour and fixing the report to get rid of a democratically elected MP / PM and now taking her pay from the enemy Red Labour Party …..
.. and where does this huge story feature in the BBC news ? Number 5 with body in the bag cremation and some cricket crap ….
…….and they say the BBC is fair and unbiased ….
Sorry Digg just saw your comment …. Corruption eh?
“Former official Sue Gray broke civil service rules after failing to declare contact with Labour over a job offer, a Cabinet Office inquiry has found.
Ms Gray, who led a probe into lockdown parties in Downing Street, was cleared to work for Labour by Parliament’s appointments adviser last week.
It said she could start as Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff in September.
Labour said all rules were followed and branded the inquiry a “political stunt”.
The party said the Cabinet Office had “spent weeks wasting time on this Mickey Mouse nonsense”.”We’re looking forward to Sue Gray joining us this September as we continue to show the country that only Labour can build a better Britain,” a Labour spokesperson said”.
It was on their website this morning, but has been taken down now, so has only had a couple of hours up there while most people are asleep!

The whole issue stinks, but this is to be expected where labour and snivel serpents are involved, they both have snouts in the same trough, paid far too much by the taxpayer for a pretty mediochre service.
A former head of the civil service died over weekend of cancer – in thr obituaries lefties queued up to laud the lord – with noticeable silence from the blue labour lot … says plenty about the true complexion of the neutral civil service …
No need to rely on a small blogger
The Telegraph names her as transport academic, Dr Anna Goodman
A tweet from her colleague
.. https://twitter.com/RachelAldred/status/1666778354438004736
Tweeters say she brought the poster back and apologised
I wonder who ever claimed they are independent researchers ? Rachels retweets red fists pro cycling demo tweets etc.
It seems that in the past Guardian and Indy have described their research as Independent
but over the last few years people in the replies shout that they activists and not independent
Playing catch-up with horse-face Maddow
“I observed yesterday that liberals don’t believe non-white people are capable of forming dissenting views on their own.”
Your Twitter influencer is a bit behind the curve there; I realised that decades ago.
We’ll circle jerk back to that?
Great commercial:
Truly great – but no one wanted to be a diversity manager WTF ?
That’s what I’d want to be if I was starting out now …. I’d have tribunal and ‘legal £ team £ ‘ on speed dial .
… I think I might have offended myself with my words …
It’s alright Fed, I’m not offended, but no doubt a wokist will be offended that I’m not offended, so as I couldn’t give a stuff whether this wokist is offended, I’ll claim to be a victim and take it to court – or something…
I suspect that to be a lawyer in this area of victimhood/wokistery and imagined offence, must bring tears to their eyes – of absolute joy!

One of my favourite hated terms in the work environment was “ you could be criticised “ -I used to bite me tongue and think ‘so effing what ‘….
I’ve just finished watching a interview from 2018 of Michael Howard , the highly distinguished historian , on You Tube by Max Hastings ( not anyone’s favourite on this site) . Professor Howard dies in 2019.
When asked about the state of the West , Howard said that a great concern was that a viable society could only be formed from people who had a great deal of shared values . He said that whilst the massive migration into the USA 1890 to 1920 had been handled brilliantly by the state insisting that people adopted US culture and values , the UK mass immigration 2000 to present had been a disaster because there had been no attempt to insist the immigrants adopted British values and culture. Even if such an attempt had been made the sheer numbers of immigrants would have made it unlikely to succeed.
I know that everyone on this site knows this and supports that view but it is always reassuring to hear the most distinguished post WW2 British historian declaring that he shares our view. Basically he was confirming that New Labour and subsequent Tory governments have wrecked the country for at least several generations and that the UK is irrevocably changed for good.
Changed for bad mate – bad

I see Old Ma Thompson (aka The Club Class Diva) has signed yet another nag-note about fossil fuels.
Is all this rioting in France wanted?
Macron is WEF and therefore the 15 minute city is on his little list. Once all the cars, trains, and buses have been burnt then the people in the banlieues are trapped in their 15 minute city.
Without the shops, banks, schools, libraries etc etc. As far as Macron is concerned these people would be happy. How would anyone know otherwise? No one in their right mind would ever visit these places.
My 5 minutes of Radio 4 Toady started this morning with the end of Jeremy Bowen’s report on the Israeli raids. It was full of Israeli ‘claims’ and ‘alleges’. That is, when nearly at the end, reported sotto voce about Israeli claims the word ‘rightly’ was used. I nearly crashed the car, but the audience could have missed it.
And then we were on to it being the hottest June ever ( my question mark (?) as it didn’t feel it where I was. We have an elderly gentleman from some such river organisation. He got all the buzz words he could worked into his spiel. The number of fish dying events which I think are mentioned above and some very obviously nothing to do with climate change. But we had the warmth causing the algae to grown which caused the rivers to be poisoned; we had hail storms dropping river water temperatures which caused the fish to die (sounded a fishy tale to me) and how water was washing car rubber from tyres into the rivers and poisoning the fish (not sure where the evidence from this came from) – but whoever the Today presenter was let all these claims go by.
Just to note that when the Today programme was produced the Met Office were yet to publish their claim of the hottest day ever. I presume the claim had been leaked to the BBC…but what if it turned out not to be…..would the BBC retract and the Today team apologise?
I don’t know why I put myself through the occasional 5 minutes of Today. Well I do know. It is only so I can post here. And 5 minutes of Today is always of such dire quality and questionable facts that I can always post here.
Debs, I find it good to listen to the first ten or twenty minutes or as today the first twenty-five minutes of TOADY and then skip the rest. The BBC no longer put up a running schedule for TOADY but the presenters sometimes give a clue what will be coming up later: “We’ll be talking to Ed Miliband at 7.50 a.m.” which is a good excuse to not be listening then.
TOADY Watch #2 – after the hottest June evvah, insects are going extinct
‘TEMPERATUREGATE’ Watch #2 – after the hottest June evvah, insects are going extinct
Uh uh. In the ol’ Garden of England, after some time spent working in the garden despite the cold and blustery wind, I can personally vouch for the fact that insect life is thriving. Flutterbies and meuths, spiders aplenty, crickets, grasshoppers and a small wing-ed insect that I do not recall having seen before. Oh and lots of ants. Fake News: will Marianna and Team Verify investigate the BBC?
But strunngely, there is no blind beggar wiv a minkey. Maybe they are going extinct along with French police officers during the rioting in Paris?
The small red-winged ‘meuth’ – (ahem – M. Clouseau), could be a Humming Bird Moth, Uppers!
Last year one kept flying up to me and was buzzing about a foot above my head for ages! It was delightful to see it trying to work out whether to land on a thinning snowslope, or whizz off for a few comestibles in the garden!
It’s also the wasp season, and I have to get up in the roof on many occasions to make sure we’re not put in line to fork out the fifty odd quid to a bloke who’s here for about 45 seconds to squirt some jollop in the nest…
Had to giggle, Justin Rowlatt reporting from a canal side for the BBC news item on June being the so called hottest on record while wearing a very, very thick knitted woolly jumper!
You thought he would have been ordered to strip down to his T shirt for extra emphasis!
digg, it is so cold today that I put on a fleece gilet on top of three other layers to go work in the graden. Am still wearing it indoors. That pesky Global Warming still hasn’t arrived like ‘they’ promised!
I become a Liberal Democrat and resort to some socks when the sandals get too chilly in the evening…
There were hints early last week that the weather was going to be hot again the weekend just gone. It didn’t happen. I had noted the Met Office’s early warning because we had people round for Sunday lunch and I was planning a roast. Hot weather and I would change the menu to a cold meat salad. Ok I didn’t bother with a thick soup or suet pudding but glad I didn’t ditch the Yorkshire puddings.
Yes we noticed that too Debs!
I guess the warbling gloamers were a bit disappointed too, especially as there’ll be a shortage of quinoa this year due to the fact that it is just too expensive, except for the Islingtonians!
Also the quorny shelves in our local supermarkets are still remarkably full, so it seems that sales aren’t doing that well for tasteless dross either…
Senora O’Blene would have been most upset if there hadn’t been any gravy as well…

I forgot to mention that Macron also gets to crack down on social media:
“We will take several measures in the coming hours such as the removal of the most sensitive content in connection with these platforms [social networks]”. Emmanuel Macron pinpoints the role and place of social networks in the spread of violence in recent days.
