Wimbledon on the BBC. Most other major sports events have disappeared onto subscription channels but why not Wimbledon? The All England club have taken a unique and enlightened view that it’s important to have the public on board. Other sports have taken a far narrower and short term view.
However Wimbledon has cost the BBC £60m. The BBC pays the same for Premier League highlights. I have no idea what Test Cricket would cost. So what percentage of viewers watch Wimbledon? Or is it a case of it being London based sport which appeals to a middle class BBC audience? Is it good value for our tax money to watch overpaid tennis stars do what they do every week round the World?
TV sport is about advertising
The grounds/courts)plays are full of corporate logos
When the BBC air a sport, audience is bigger cos there is no advertising breaks, So Barclays, Rolex, Coca Cola know their logo will get more eyes for more minutes.
Hence BBC is offered much lower prices than commercial operators like Sky/ITV.
Gary Lineker, whatever he says is a cleanface for gambling companies
We don’t know the net cost to the BBC, cos they may recoup money from syndication to foreign companies and UK news sources.

Saudi golf takeover is blueprint for what they want to do everywhere else
Jonathan Liew
The Saudis came for golf. Will your favourite sport put up any more of a fight?
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2023/jun/13/saudi-arabia-golf-pga-tour-public-investment-fund
Your opinion was not consulted. Your vote was not canvassed. Players who had turned down eye-moistening sums of Saudi money out of what they laughably believed was a reciprocated loyalty to the PGA Tour found out, like everyone else, when their phones started pinging.
……………….
The wider significance here is in the concussive speed and devastating lack of transparency with which this transaction was conducted, the way intractable obstacles were simply bulldozed or bought away, the utter indifference to public opinion, outcry, backlash. This may be the story of how Saudi Arabia bought golf. But really, it is a blueprint for what they want to do with everything else.

Not the BBC – but as I’ve said here a number of times – the law preventing ‘children ‘ convicted of serious crimes being named has to be changed .
There is a case today of 2 17 year olds who stabbed another kid to death – in a mistaken identity case .
At the end the judge lifted reporting restrictions .
I wonder how many other judges are doing the same ? And perhaps it’s an indication of the need for killers to be identified – whatever their age. The victims and ‘society ‘ deserve nothing less .
( and I didn’t even mention returning the death penalty )
Apologies – the case is put up one the previous page – so many comments it’s getting hard for me to even scan them all ! Which is Great ….

Seeking to separate fact from fiction, the multi award-winning series returns to investigate the divisive story of Shamima Begum.
When three London school girls went missing in 2015, they generated global headlines and the media storm that ensued continues to this day. Back then, investigative journalist Josh Baker was filming at a mosque in the girls’ neighbourhood as their families came to seek help; their daughters were on the way to Syria to join the Islamic State group. But it was too late, and they disappeared inside the so-called caliphate.
For four years, their fate remained a mystery – with only occasional glimpses and sometimes conflicting reports of what they were doing with the terror group being made public. Only one of the girls emerged from the ashes of the so called caliphate – Shamima Begum.
The new series will take listeners inside Josh’s attempts to figure out what really happened, unearthing new information about one of the most talked about stories of our time. He travels from Bethnal Green in East London to the depths of what was ISIS controlled Syria as he challenges Shamima Begum and investigates if the story she tells is true.

BBC News has tried to contact Mr Westwood for comment.
By Chi Chi Izundu and Ruth Evans
UK Insight
Former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood has been questioned for a third time under police caution over alleged sex offences, BBC News understands.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66190231
An external report, by KC Gemma White, looking at what the BBC did and did not know about Mr Westwood’s conduct during his near 20-year employment with the corporation, is due to be published this year.
“Lessons will be learned”, the BBC said, circa 1972. One thing that always puzzles me is that the BBC are keen to train such in house ‘talent’ that are pushed up the ladders until they become ‘presenters’ – by which time the damage had been done and they get ‘arrested’ for indecency and sexual advances to minors. Each time this happens “Lessons will be learned” and when the TV license fee comes up for discussion, they are “as vital to the nation as the NHS”, and we all know how bad that is.
The trouble is. The BBC is actually worse than the NHS in many respects, it has history going back to 1940, when it was full of ‘pinkoes’ aligned with Russia.
Now its full of sexual devients.

Below is a Daily Telegraph column by Lord Frost about the future of the BBC – too late –
STARTS Once again this week we have been treated to an exhibition of the BBC’s colossal sense of self-absorption and self-regard. In the week of the Nato Summit that unlocked Swedish membership, the Prime Minister’s meeting with President Biden, and the relentless increase in illegal small boat landings, the BBC spent half of all its news bulletins covering the woes of Huw Edwards.
Let’s remember that the declared Mission of the BBC is to “act in the public interest”, provide “impartial, high-quality, and distinctive output and services which inform, educate, and entertain”. It must provide “impartial news and information to help people understand … the world around them”, offering “a range and depth of analysis and content not widely available from other UK news providers”. Oh, and “championing freedom of expression” – better not tell Marianna Spring and the BBC’s absurd, but dangerous, “disinformation” team.
I don’t think anyone could reasonably say the BBC’s mainstream news output is better than what’s available elsewhere. With a few exceptions – Steve Rosenberg in Moscow springs to mind – it has largely given up covering foreign news in any serious way.
The high-quality enclave of the World Service is under attack. BBC News seems to have shifted to using local correspondents who can potentially have pressure put on them by their governments much more easily than a Brit. Its US coverage is all seen through the prism of “populism”, while European politics, China or India rarely figure. Reporting is frequently superficial or about fashionable Western preoccupations projected onto very different countries and societies.
But the problems go wider. Much BBC entertainment, radio, drama and music output is no different from commercial competitors’, though the Charter requires services which “set the standard” and are “distinctive from those provided elsewhere”. Seemingly to justify them, all these areas are increasingly pervaded by explicit or subliminal social messaging and public service advice, messaging which simply grates on many of us.
The truth is that the BBC has lost its way. It is not unique in that, in this rapidly changing media environment, but it is the only organisation that can’t go bust and can therefore be impervious to outside stimulus and criticism – as the high-handed way it handles complaints clearly shows.
We should want the BBC to succeed. We have all too few unifying institutions in this country and its image is certainly more appealing than the shabby and dysfunctional NHS. Most countries would kill for its brand and soft power. I don’t want it to disappear.
But it surely does have to refocus. The high licence fee leads it to try to satisfy everyone, whatever their background, wherever they are in the country. That can’t be sustained. Instead, it should stand for genuine excellence: high-quality, impartial, factual news; presenting and funding the Western canon of serious music, art, theatre and drama, literature; serious history and science; and, yes, serious politics.
This – a couple of TV channels, a revamped Radios 3 and 4, the children’s channels, broadcasting to Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, including in Irish, Gaelic, and Welsh; and the World Service – should be the the core of the new BBC. And this should be available to anyone anywhere in the world, for free.
In all other areas its output can be funded commercially and should be. It should also get fully out of local news in England, where its presence is killing genuinely local reporting.
The BBC currently spends slightly more than £4 billion on what it calls its Public Service obligation. This new high-quality BBC should cost a quarter to a third of that, resulting in a much lower licence fee, in the region of £50.
The BBC once created the best that had been made, written, or thought. Now it seems ashamed of it. It doesn’t even make available for viewing Lord Clark’s great series Civilisation (though it is on YouTube), though it made an embarrassing, ideologically loaded substitute a few years back, and has left it to organisations such as the New Culture Forum, with its superb new series The West, to fill the gap.
But there is still huge appetite for thoughtful, serious media. It should be an advantage for the BBC that more and more information is conveyed by video rather than the written word (more’s the pity), that there is growing demand for serious long-form podcasts, a need that would once have been met by Radio 4 – and, above all, that it doesn’t have to chase an audience.
If it can get back to what it once stood for, it can last through the 21st century. But it is going to have to change to do so. ENDS
As usual frosty nails it – and that comment about half of the national news being spent reporting the BBC brings it home ….
Well said Lord Frost
Thumbs up to his mention of- the New Culture Forum’s mini-series- The West which is well worth the watch.

Radio 4, 4 July 2023
In a story about a nurse being struck off after having a secret relationship with a patient, we said he had died during a late-night meeting with her in a hospital car park in Wrexham. This was based on information incorrectly provided to the Nursing and Midwifery Council fitness to practise hearing. To be clear the incident did not happen in the Spire Wrexham car park and the nurse did not work at the hospital.

THE WEST – Episode 1: Liberty or Death? [A six-part doc. series celebrating Western Civilisation]
Great article from Lord Frost. The point about the BBC seeming to be “ashamed” of its high quality output got me thinking.
I trace this to a crisis of confidence in western civilisation itself. Every great civilisation of the past regarded itself as the best and the rest of the world as barbarians. They were right to do so and in fact they couldn’t become a dominant force without doing so.
Now our civilisation is in its decadent phase and it hates itself. It hates discriminating between things, finding one thing to be better than another. It can’t bear to think in terms of standards, objective standards, high and low quality, good and bad, superior and inferior.
Why? Because if you have standards it becomes painfully obvious that white European civilisation is vastly superior to all the others. We have invented everything that has led to the social, medical and technological progress that makes our societies the most desirable places in the world in which to live.
Woke elites like the BBC deprecate such thoughts. They have become milksops who fear being “judgemental”. They don’t have the moral strength to acknowledge the preeminence of white European achievement. They would rather pretend that Stormzy is as good as Mozart, that our culture is just one of many equally good cultures and that our country is a land that anyone from anywhere has a right to live in.
Zelatek – on your final sentence you left of “ and exploit and subvert and change for the worst “….
True, Fed. I could have added that. I could have added an awful lot more. Their charge sheet is very long. They are profoundly changing the country.
Up here in Skotlando, a new term has been coined: “New Scots”. Meaning any migrant, asylum seeker, refugee or immigrant of any kind who has come to Scotland recently. I haven’t heard anybody use the term except woke leftie females obsessed with inclusiveness. But I can foresee a day when Old Jocks like myself have died out and it’s these New Scots who populate the dear old land of Caledonia. And not a single drop of tartan blood will be coursing through their veins.
Zelatek – I had to ‘moderate ‘ myself …
Lord Frost is whistling in the wind. The BBC will never reform itself, and no government will set a £50 licence fee. Just end the licence once and for all. The BBC needs to stand on its own two feet. Maybe it can find people able to read an autocue for less than £440,000 a year. That would be a start.

He kicked against the bicycle, which caused the girl to fall off. She screamed. He held her mouth shut. Then he strangled her with her shawl until she was unconscious.
“When I saw how pretty she was, I wanted to have sex with her.” (Hussein K.)
Apparently he thought that he had already strangled her to death. The judge questioned him concerning “sex with a dead girl,” and the offender said:
“It didn’t bother me to have sex with a dead girl.” (Hussein K.)

The BBC continues to struggle to understand the difference between Criminal and unacceptable behaviour from its staff.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66186092
They appear to be heading toward a position of…. if the police cannot lay a charge then the perpetrator is good to go whatever they have been up to.
A very weird moral stance to take in my opinion.
Of note is that they mention in passing that even some BBC staff have complained about the behaviour. This is a one liner in their report whereas it should be the basis of a deep seeking review of what this bloke was actually up to.
The BBC is in fact institutionally corrupt and right now in 100% self preservation mode in my opinion.
It reminds me of the plod who becomes a rapist / killer where – if all of his behaviour was put together – comes up with someone who needs to be stopped… saville was an extreme case of this – but now Huw goes for the 2023 version ….
How many more fiends are there in the BBC – busily booking their mental hospital just in case ?
In October 2012, Dame Janet Smith was appointed by the BBC to lead an inquiry into the corporation’s connection to the sexual abuse committed by Jimmy Savile, a popular television and radio host.[1] The final report, titled The Dame Janet Smith Review Report, was published on 25 February 2016.[2]
2012 to 2016 – 4 years to write a report!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Janet_Smith_Review
She found that Savile had sexually abused 72 people and had raped eight people, including an eight-year-old, at “virtually every one of the BBC premises at which he worked”. She also found that some members of the BBC staff were aware of complaints against Savile but did nothing about them.
“You may quite well say that we are all ill” – Sigmund Freud.
I’ve been wondering what other kinds of behaviour are ‘not unlawful’, but still thoroughly unpalatable to most people… and have come to the conclusion that what is ‘lawful’, or not seems to depend mostly on who you are: occupation, gender, sexuality, political views, nationality etc…
Unfortunately, my gender, sexuality, nationality, and possibly (centristish) political views mean that me just being alive is quite possibly unlawful.

TOADY Watch #1 – Nick Robinson, you are talking nonsense. Again?
The NickyRoadshow by air has moved today to Munich. Emissions were harmed in the making of TOADY this week. Nick tried to claim that there was a shortage of workers in Germany and that Germany needs migration to fill jobs. The BBC needs to get its facts straight on (illegal) mass migration. The German unemployment figure in June 2023 was estimated as just over 2.6 million out of a population of just over 84 million.
You know you can rely on the BBC to lie to you.
So the Huw Edwards story has been completely dropped and the narrative now changed to ‘he did nothing illegal’ so it’s fine.
Sickening hypocrisy and double standards when you consider all the lives of right-wing people which have been ruined by the woke aided and abetted by the BBC – even though they didn’t do anything illegal either – and mostly a lot less than Huw. The wrong joke or ‘blacking up’ 20 years ago is enough.
I won’t go near the completely free ride the BBC give the trans activists who try to utterly ruin people who do something they don’t like by trolling their employers, people who do business with them or anyone else they can get because then I might get annoyed.
I have no problem with regular Lefties who have a different view and can hold a reasonable debate. Some of their points are valid.
But the left-wing activists are the ones I have a problem with because they are driven by hatred of the right. They will argue black is white if it suits them. They are intolerant, nasty scum. And the BBC is now full of them.
Isn’t it remarkably eccentric, that ex Beeboids like Sopel and Maitlis are up on their hind legs, whining about the way Beebonic Plague have – or are still – handling the issues over Huw Edwards, when they spent much of their time employed by the very same people at vast expense to the taxpayer and relishing the fact that their sneering opinions, despite the Charter, would be just as damaging to anyone of their choosing, especially if they had anything to with the Conservative Party, or even just normal British Citizens caving their own ways in life!
Luckily, the unfortunate TV taxpayer doesn’t have to take any notice of their bile any more, as LBC can just be switched off at no cost, but the dead-tree rags seem to think their presence is still ‘important’, which is a bit of a shame, but as most people just glance at the online pages – some may even buy a paywall sub, the same applies here – Click…

I’m glad you mention that the state is using £120 billion of our money to pay the interest on the debt it created …..
…I heard a chat on Today which didn’t really view this as serious – and the chap being interviewed talking about the amount of borrowing doubling what it currently is .
There was no discussion of the consequences of this – apart from a casual mention that inflation is here to stay – something with which I agree .
Surely the size of the state must come down – crap like HS2 and overseas aid has to stop ?
But we face a big spending Red Labour government which will still be fighting inflation by pushing interest rates up . 8% by the end of 2024 and a true ‘crisis’
Meanwhile Huw Edwards is awaiting the attention to calm down ( next week ) with a scoop picture of him walking his dog after being discharged from mental hospital ….

I think he might have done an ‘independent report ‘ … I keep hammering on about the debt interest payments because I want to know the likely consequences .
I suppose the pound will not get much stronger and will really fall to parity with the Euro – if the Reich doesn’t borrow more to counter recession . But inflation rates in a good few EU mini states are falling – I understand …
It’s personal because I need to buy euros regularly …at the moment retail is about £1 buys €1.15
Fed, I thought that that chap from the OBR or IFS was a bit feeble.

The German economy drives the protectionist EU, which I see struggling over illegal migration and other issues. Think you may be getting 1.20 Euros for your pound sterling soon.

TOADY Watch #2 – oh, beehave!
Reference was made by Nick to the front page of the Daily Star in the 7.40 a.m. newspaper review (the 6.40 a.m. review was missed – again) which makes the claim, better sit down Martha, that we are running out of bees due to ‘Climate Change’. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-66197253 Within minutes, I was downstairs making a cup of tea in case tea goes extinct due to the BBC’s climate change. As I looked out of the kitchen window what did I see? A large bee, probably a ‘bumble’, going from flower to flower.
From my observations of the natural world I would say that every year is different. Last year the lemon balm flowered early and the ‘bumble’ bees went crazy, all over it they were until mid/late-autumn. Less bees this year but working outside yesterday I noted honey bees as well as ‘bumbles’. This year, the lemon balm did not really flower until this month, no doubt due to the cold.
Daily Star: A Bee shortage caused by climate change could result in us having to pollinate crops ourselves… – Oooh err!

No bee shortage around here this year! I had to get two swarms removed from my allotment in June.
Got in touch with the local beekeeping society guy and he was pretty fed up about having to come out and collect them (especially the second lot, about a week after the first). He claimed there were so many swarms this year, he was out collecting at least one every evening, there weren’t enough hives to put them in, and they were struggling to get volunteers to collect them – despite beekeeping being the height of fashion at the moment (my brother-in-law is even giving it a go, mind you, he gives every ‘trendy’ thing a try.)
You’re absolutely right, Uppers, every year is going to be completely different from the previous one, especially with certain plants which get the hump due to the weather!
The problem is exacerbated by hysterical gardening programme presenters, who liberally douse the public with the boring mantras of ‘climate change’, ‘organic stuff’, ‘peat-free’ etc etc., while nature continues to make its own mind on what’s going to happen in any particular season!
I gave up the TV gardening progs years ago, preferring to blog online with real gardeners, so any stuff churned out on these dire non-issues gets ignored before it’s even put on the air!
Splashed out on some (expensive, ‘good’ brand) potting compost this year and it was terrible, compacted down like cement and loads of seeds never germinated (that might also be down to the excessively COLD and WET spring we had). Anyway, looking closely at the bag, I discovered it was 100% peat free – never again for me.
I have had the same experience with crap “quality” compost this year BB…..
Like sawdust and wood chippings it holds no water and obviously is very low on plant nutrient.
Everything the greenies get their grubby hands on turns to crap it seems.
Even worse, traditional compost seems to have vanished so we are all stuck with this rubbish.
Solution, just don’t buy it and see how they fare then?
Maybe we should en masse take all our unused bags back to the retailer and empty them in the doorway?
I’m no expert on compost, not being much of a gardener, but the one bag I have opened so far this year (out of six) seemed to be filled with brown shredded wood. And it wasn’t cheap either.
Try and get your hands on some Westland’s Jack’s Magic, with peat! They do one peat-free, but it’s useless coir which has been picked in Asia, copiously washed with their limited supplies of fresh water to get rid of the salt, then shipped all the way over here to satisfy the government’s, (EU) loony rules against peat!
I’ve got a stash of six bags at the moment, and my enlightened garden centre has another load in, so I’ll buy even more for next year!
The ‘new’ stuff really is crap, and while commercial growers can use peat for a couple of years more, it’ll soon be banned for good!
Peat, like any other well-managed crop, is sustainable, blimey, they were burning it in Irish power stations until a short while ago! Check how Canada deals with the business of peat, which is increasing!
This bloody green crap really is introducing a lot of disgust and anger amongst gardeners, and the government should hang its head in shame at such a ridiculous edict! I certainly wouldn’t have voted for this had they told us so before the election!
Of course, you must ignore anything the Beebonics say on their ‘gardening’ programmes, they’re just a shadow of what they used to be!
Here’s a rational discussion, with most of the comments agreeing that the loss of peat is affecting their gardening success. The others seem to be the normal boring followers of the Green Maharishi…

When I kept bees and read all the books I realised that they hadn’t read them as well . They had their time table – the books have there’s’.
It’s why I don’t believe the hysteria over ‘extreme ‘ weather – it’s just the weather – which we know not a lot about …
Do you notice – too – that every ‘weather event ‘ is getting a name now . Soon they’ll be giving clouds bar codes …
Fed, have you seen the Billy Graham film ‘City of the Bees’ that was around in the 1960s and 1970s? Fascinating stuff and Christians ahead of the science and scientists.

Thank you – no – I might take a look after ‘the west ‘ which has kindly been put on this site ….
Complete subject change – yesterday one of those annoying ex wimmin footballers the BBC uses as pundits on the real game ( the prem ) popped up with some report about wimmin football .
She mentioned there should be a ‘wimmins match of the day ‘…
… what a great idea for 2AM on BBC4 ….. boy does the BBC push girl footy …. Apparently they are having a ‘World Cup thing ‘ ….maybe there will be a ‘prettiest player competition ‘( oops is that mysogeny?)
Fedup
> Wimmins match of the day
Great idea. They should put it on primetime. Anything that makes the bBC even more unpopular.
Mind you there should not be a speck of mud in sight, so probably best played on pink astroturf.
I’m guessing they would be using ‘prettiest’ as a relative term and in its loosest sense.
Fed, I’ve noticed the same with gardening – only started an allotment a few years back, and it’s been a great investment (both in terms of physical and mental health, and in terms of produce), but being out there a lot has made me pay more attention to the ACTUAL weather year round, and frankly, what gets reported is miles away from the reality.
The REALITY is much more variable, and interesting – I wasn’t aware that even in the ‘hottest June EVA!’ we could still have hard frosts some nights with temperatures of around -5oC, for example.
Big B.C., in the link above, (re peat), there’s a great forum for Allotments and Gardeners – possibly the best around!
Well worth joining, and completely free!
Will do Scrob – thanks! (It’s the only thing keeping me sane(ish)).
Fed, “Soon they’ll be giving clouds bar codes” LOL! 🙂 x10!
During the 3 year lockdown I had to fight my way through a swarm of masonry bees that had decided to nest in my front porch and who returned each year , so entering and exiting my front door was a daily challenge. You can’t touch bees whatever type they are. In the end I ignored them and they ignored me.
This year they haven’t returned I can’t say I’m disappointed.
Never a good idea to touch bees! 😆
Glad to see you back on here Brissles. I wonder how Halifax is getting on..
Don’t start me on bees … I used to use the best protective suits yet they’d still get to me . Every time I got stung my body reacted more ‘strongly ‘ – apparently there’s nothing to be done apart from allow the bees to declare victory ….
Looby, echo that, and would add Lobster to the list.
I rescued a ‘bumble’ bee once in winter, don’t remember which type. I think I may have picked it up. The thing is they run out of fuel and also get cold and thirsty if there’s no melted frost. I put it on a spoon, got a little honey and mixed some warm-ish water with it, and tipped the mixture onto the spoon with the bee.
A sniff and then the tongue came out and the mixture was gone. When bee was exercising its wings again, I took it back outside and – success – it flew off back to its hole in the ground.
That’s a success story, Uppers and worthy of several ticks!
Sadly, I had to block up a wasps nest which was in the cavity wall right by our front door… They were flying everywhere, and dogs eat the things if they can!
I’ve now found a new use for expanding foam!
Bees 👍 wasps 👎
Not of any use in my opinion
I’m sure the BBC would agree with you about W.A.S.P.s
By the way, weren’t we said to be threatened with a hornet invasion a few weeks ago?
You’re right, Mustapha!
Now it’s flying ants…
Next week, frogs (the croaking variety, not the rubber-boat-sellers), and after that the locusts!
TOADY Watch #3 – Nick, I think you are in danger of developing an obsession
Yesterday was Italy, led by the ‘Far-Right’ Georgia Meloni. Today it is Munich and Nick Robinson is concerned that polling suggests that the ‘Far-Right’ AfD Party are ahead in the polls in some States and might challenge the Christian Democrats in the next Election in Germany. Think you need to get help, Nick. Maybe check into a hospital for your mental health and anxiety issues over the ‘Far Right’?

Meloni quoting Chesterton
“Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible”
@GKCdaily
Chesterton was a bit of a personality by all accounts, and quite something to meet in the flesh, but when you read anything written by him, it’s impossible not to be impressed by the man’s evident wit, broad intellect, modesty, and humanity.
I’m a great admirer of his ‘Father Brown’ stories, couldn’t believe the BBC had ‘adapted’ them for TV – not really ‘woke’ enough, I thought, but then I read on here (and heard from friends and family) what the BBC had done to them, and how dare they describe the utter shite they produced anything to do with the work of GK Chesterton!
He must be spinning in his (very large of necessity) grave, the man was a true believer in freedom of speech, in family, and an ardent Catholic, he would have hated the modern BBC.

RAF Crowdfunding stands ready to serve …. and RN crowdfunding is being used to fix the 2 useless aircraft carriers ..
So long as you think Britain has no interests more than a couple of hundred miles from our shores, then yes, aircraft carriers are useless. But we a maritime nation, so they are not. I wish you would drop this nonsense.
MM,
Right now, the RAF is dusting down the ‘Swordfish’ in mothballs.
The Swordfish was a Fleet Air Arm aircraft.
Everything that flies does not belong to the RAF, though they would like it to.
There is the saying ” Some of my friends are Jewish so
how can I be Anti-Semitic.?” I write this because for
a start I have gay friends and relations, close relations .
I believe the problem with Huw Edwards was that
at the BBC he was probably known as being gay. ” So
what?” You may say. BUT unlike the plethora of other
gay presenters, reporters, editors, sub editors researchers etc
etc. We the general did not know.
We may of found it strange that this pale, stale, old white male
was the leading news presenter on the BBC. When the BBC
has culled every other pale stale old male from their books.
However we now know that Huw ticked one of the most
important boxes so far as the BBC are concerned.
A BBC obsessed with drag . You only had to watch the ONE
SHOW to last night to realize this. Having presenters on
all kind of shows letting us know how gay they are with
their darlings and oohs .And a mentally ill Huw Edwards
probably felt it was fine , at least at the BBC to come
completely out of the closet.
I don’t believe he has done anything legally wrong. BUT
as Simon Webb has written on his ” History Debunked”
YouTube website. What Edwards has done is very badly
morally wrong. And unacceptable for anybody. Yes
when I say anyone. You may question why should a
supposed paradigm of integrity be any different?
I leave that up to you.

I spent a couple of years of my childhood in India and Singapore having a military father. Walking in the cities was a game of hopscotch over hawked up gobs of phlegm, human droppings and rivers of urine. Doesn’t importing cultural enrichment give you a nice glow!
I doubt Singapore any more… so much.
But easing the immigration rules to prop up the racial balance has seen some village PRCs impress the locals. And Balestier Rd used to be feisty.
But for hawking… Honkers!
I was in a tram talking to my folks behind as it rattled along, and an aunty behind hauled up a gobbet from the depths of her dainty dabs and laughed it out the window clear across Causeway Bay.

I wouldn’t go to India if you paid me. I’ve known too many who have returned home attached to a drip. I remember the actress Celia Imrie who appeared in the film the Great Marigold Hotel (whatever,), say when working there that it smelled like one continuous fart !

https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-show-bill-gates-has-given-319-million-to-media-outlets/278943/
Here’s a good example of how the BBC runs a favourable article about Gates without once mentioning that another part of it has benefitted from his largesse:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52833706
Maybe the BBC is the highest example of left guilt over living in civilisation and therefore wanting to destroy it – for instance by undermining family life or importing the third world .
And comrade Robinson is the highest example of what the group think of the BBC now is .
They care less about the effect of their pro import view – nor who pays for it – us – both financially and culturally .
This is one of the reasons I want the BBC destroyed – particularly because of the compulsory tax – which I could never ever pay …
A sound post. This is why I can’t share Lord Frost’s view (given in the Telegraph article, on here in the last 24 hrs) on the BBC. He thinks it can change, an opinion shared in the past anyway by Robin Aitken, whereas I consider it too far gone to merit much more than cannibalizing the good bits and getting rid of the rest asap.
As a mouthpiece for globalists, the BBC’s threat to the British is existential. The one consolation is that fewer and fewer people are paying attention to it, for various reasons.
Still trying to understand the mechanics of policies that require immigration to fill operational needs, but allow those only bringing in fiscal drains in multiple forms to impose on the home working sector.
Plus societal contamination and outright threat.

I expect it is the former. This is out and out inverted racism .
This appeals to < 4% of the population but the purpose is in part to humiliate and brainwash the white British.
Here is a question to which I do not know the answer.
We have seen an outcry about Biden supplying cluster munitions to the cocaine addict in Kyiv, we have not been told about the outcry about the muppet leader Rishi Washee agreeing to supply Zelensky long range cruise missiles.
In Britain now we are pretty much defenceless with Rishi Washee having given all our conventional defence equipment away having replaced hardly anything and without any intention to do so.
The implications of this insane decision are enormous, far worse than the cluster bombs, because if the drug addled Zelinsky decides to launch one at the Kremlin and it hit the target, then what do we expect the response to be?
It would be perfectly reasonable for Putin to launch one back at a UK target, such as Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Westminster.
What then? Crazy Biden deciding to declare WWIII against more or less the entire globe, including Russia China and India in a war the West couldn’t win and would result in the deaths of pretty much everyone on the planet?
So here’s the question, what exactly can the deluded and confused Rishi Washee give away without recourse to Parliament and who can stop him? Maybe his next move will be to gift a nuclear warhead to Zelinsky – and that wouldn’t surprise me to find him trying in the future.
The second question is who can stop him before he is able to do that, let alone finding anyone willing to do so.
He can use the royal prerogative to do more or less what ever he wants – unless he is changed in the Commons .
I do wonder why Russia hasn’t taken stronger action against countries providing weaponry to Ukraine – but may be it’s all hush hush …
They don’t want a confrontation with NATO, and they want a situation post conflict where they can still do business.
The problem here is the corruption in the Democrat party keeping the war going in my opinion.
T/ful.
“what exactly can the deluded and confused Rishi Washee give away without recourse to Parliament and who can stop him?”

I wish we had some of that far right weather they are having over in the EU.
Here in Sunderland it’s gloomy and about 15 degrees. It’s also about to be hit by lots of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Must be something to do with brexit I suppose.
Indeed, tipping down and brass monkeys in the shires.
Not sure what the weather screen colour is now.
I’m sick of the BBC’s agenda and omissions about the weather. Faced with cool temperatures here, the Beeb focuses on extremes elsewhere but wasn’t so keen to tell us about the cooler summer elsewhere when it was hot in the UK last year.
Here in “Glarster”, it’s cool and wet; like yesterday, only worse. But that’s just a couple of days. So far this summer, I’ve not done without the duvet overnight even once, nor regretted it. Usually an empty duvet cover (i.e. the thickness of two thin sheets) would be adequate for several weeks in an average summer and even two months or more in years like 2018 or 2022.
June was warmer, even hot at times, but certainly nothing special. July has been poor and May was mostly cool. Even west-facing rooms that get the sun later on, are quite comfortable and need only a little airing. Our own experience, indoors and outside, belies all the alarmism.
PS – wind and wuthering outside now, though rain not too heavy.
“Wind and wuthering”
You have ‘Your own special way’, Mustapha, to describe ‘One for the vine’, ‘In that quiet Earth’…
(Can’t make any more titles fit the weather forecast, although ‘Blood on the rooftops’ could be some sort of allegory – sorry..;0)
The rain in londonistan is to be banned by the Emir or everyone who it rains on will have to pay £12.50 a year . Umbrella tax is to be increased although any one feckless will get a ‘free’ one courtesy of the taxpayer ..

‘Build Back Better World’: G7 leaders back developing world spending plan to rival China
https://www.euronews.com/2021/06/12/g7-summit-leaders-due-to-declare-global-pandemic-prevention-plan
G7 leaders have backed a vast global infrastructure plan for developing and emerging countries to rival the Chinese “Belt and Road” project. The move came at the initiative of President Joe Biden, the White House announced.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/06/12/fact-sheet-president-biden-and-g7-leaders-launch-build-back-better-world-b3w-partnership/
Climate-Friendly. The investments will be made in a manner consistent with achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
With the difference that China’s Belt and Road is designed entirely to further its own Economic and Geo-political interests.
I suspect the G7 initiative will just throw money at Third World basket cases, spread Globalism and Wokeness to the four corners, and further hobble the West.
“Actors’ strike to hit production of major films”, screams the BBC headline on its Home Page. Woke BBC is in lockstep with woke Hollywood, and thinks that’s a big news item.
