The investigation of the conduct of the 4th highest paid BBC presenter continues . Maybe the ‘victims ‘will come forward to give their account . In any event the BBC – in its 100th year – remains subject to criticism- from which it will continue to try to deflect.

‘powerful US figures including Joe Biden have used Ukraine for personal corruption and the geopolitical aim of bleeding Russia — all to the detriment of Ukrainians.’
I’ve been saying that from the very start and I absolutely believe it’s true.
This is all about future world power and China is the elephant in the room. The USA know they will not be able to defeat China if they are allied with Russia.
And the Ukranians are being slaughtered because of it. Biden doesn’t care one bit. As a self-proclaimed ‘good judge of character’ (:-) – I can tell his is a nasty b@st@rd when you scrape through the veneer.
Is it right for the long-term global picture ?. I don’t know – but the USA are behaving like Nazi Germany. They deliberately gave Russia no choice.

Its hype. It Summer and its normal and is El Nino, not that the BBC care for Fact checking anything any more.
“Then there is the El Niño starting to snake its way across Pacific equatorial waters. All of this is against a backdrop of a global warming trend which, aside from the El Niño, hasn’t shown much of an increase, if at all in almost the past decade.
So looking at the events of the past few months, and the records broken, you would have to say it’s complicated and best left to a post-El Niño analysis. No such caution for the Met Office and the Guardian however: “If a few decades ago, some people might have thought climate change was a relatively slow-moving phenomenon, we are now witnessing our climate changing at a terrifying rate,” they quote Prof Peter Stott, who leads the UK Met Office’s climate monitoring and attribution team.”
Except that not the full picture. Nor is it global warming or climate change.

If I hear all this stuff about ‘excess’ temperatures in Europe and associated ‘health warnings’, again, I’ll scream !!
No body warned me about excessive temperatures when I moved to Saudi Arabia…………and I coped, learning some essential lessons. High on the essential list:
keep a spare key for the car readily available so you can fire the thing up and engage the aircon and then lock the car (running) before you return to the vehicle 10/15 minutes later after the aircon has done its job. [And before anyone comments, yes, very little is nicked in Saudi – I just put that eccentricity down to Western ways of thinking]
Always keep a cotton handkerchief handy – Used to insulate the pinkies from the searing hot door handle when opening. [Despite the handle being chrome plated!!]
When parking the vehicle, judge where the Sun will be shining from during the period you are away from the car and get that protection from buildings etc.
Home? Always keep curtains closed and behind, windows fractionally open.
Et al.
Did I survive without warning for this and that?
All change afterwards, moving to Singapore and thereabouts. But that’s another story……….

I always thought Sicily was famous for its ‘unbearably’ hot summers?
Some 30 years ago, I had a holiday in Malta with a couple of mates in July – it was tarmac melting, blisters if you touch a car, el scorchio++++ hot! Hot… like you never get in the UK, like actually, really… hot.
Being young, English, male, and pasty we all got drunk and burnt to a crisp on the first day, and then ended up lying in the shade by the hotel pool, slathered in aftersun, with sunstroke/hangovers for most of the week.
As I recall, through the summer months the locals retreat to their homes with solid stone walls, fans, aircon, and thick blackout curtains drawn all day, then come out in the evening, once the sun starts to go down, and only go to bed in the early hours. Don’t think any work gets done from June-Sept at all, it’s just like one long summer holiday for the entire population, siesta every day and fiesta every night.
The Maltese are used to it, and know how to handle the heat, I’m sure they’re not suffering at the moment at all – it’s not like this country, where the mercury hits 30oC and people start to panic!
As I recall, we did meet some German girls at the hotel, and the drinks were cheap … so turned out a pretty good holiday, after all.

It seems the defence minister is to stand down at the blue labour election slaughter – even though he had a huge majority last time .
Perhaps the idea of 10 plus years in opposition doesn’t attract him – if indeed the opposition is to be the blue Labour Party ….
It is being said by the bbc that the reason Wallace didn’t become the nato sec general was because of brexit . I prefer the idea that Obama wants a completely useless nato lead – the van der lyden – to ensure the US stays in charge …

Despirte there being a double murder in one village in our region the main item was about Stand Up to Racism doing a counter protest cos anti-open borders people were doing a protest in Scarborough.
#1 That’s of obvious PRasNews for the org that is really a Labour front group
#2 Scarborough is not normally covered in that prog. cos its not in the prog’s area . It’s in North Yorkshire
#3 The prog’s tone is not normally the gung ho lefty agenda pushing like most BBC depts are
so it didn’t call the group “Far Right” on air
#4 Stand Up woman was given a long time to speak and then a second person too.
The item didn’t feature any voice from the actual original protest the anti open borders group.

The Stop The Boats group put up an hour long livestream (2000 views)
#1 Despite the title “huge crowd” it seems to be about 60 people in the square
#2 As usual the police seem not to expect much trouble from the protesters, and police seem fair and calm on camera.
#3 It;s the Labour protesters who do seem to badly behaved. And the police came in large numbers to control them
So it’s a total waste of public resources,. If the Labour front group stayed at home and didn’t come to harass and spoil the demo
the police could have been away doing real work.

“We’re a long way through the Looking Glass now
well inside the alternative reality where Up Is Down and wrong is right
Where anything goes for a self-selecting in-crowd
and if you’re not in that In-crowd, then your sense of right and wrong makes you a reactionary fascist conspiracy theorist, fit only for ridicule and cancellation”
…
“And then Alistair Campbells and John Simpsons and the rest waded into inform us
that the activities of one of their own one of the In-crowd were none of our concern !
What’s worth noticing more than anything else is how quickly and overwhelmingly we’ve been encouraged to disregard as utterly irrelevant the revelations themselves
and to condemn instead those who’ve asked questions about what exactly was going on, when it came to someone who nightly trots out the state of the nation as the establishment wants us to see it
One authority figure after another has come forward in recent days with words to the effect that if there’s a problem then it rests not with them in the In-crowd
but with us out here in the general population
It comes from the same in-crowd
that says ‘when we do it, whatever we do, it’s because we’re Superior and sophisticated in ways irregular tax paying law abiding types cannot begin to appreciate’
The overwhelming condescension of the self-appointed In-crowd has always been there
The difference now is that they’re rubbing our noses in it as part of the effort to bully us into thinking everything we think is just plain wrong, over and over again. ”

Before I go to Mass on Sunday – just for a joke – I listen to the first bit of the BBC ‘religion ‘ programme – which I think must be broadcast as part of the Charter .
The first bit lead with a question about the acceptability of the term ‘our father ‘ in The Lords’ Prayer . The off switch was his accompanying an ‘eye roll’ .
The words of the Lords Prayer are in `the New Testament . Yet Satans ‘ friends question it – challenge it .
If others were to trawl other books considered ‘holy ‘ – would they be suggesting bits be changed ? I think we would never hear of that .
The presenter – Edward Stuaeton ? Is – I believe – a ‘big ‘ Roman Catholic – or maybe the BBC pension is more important to him than his ‘faith ‘ .
Maybe he ll take over the Huw Edwards gig … ugh .

Said he was happy to “go and work in a bar” or take a job in Formula One or horse racing when he leaves Westminster (Times) – my money’s on him picking up a contract with an arms manufacturer, eh?
MoD staff and thousands of military officers join arms firms. Guardian research in the aftermath of the ‘jobs for generals’ scandal shows extent of links between MoD and private sector (Guardian, This article is more than 10 years old)
His announcement brings to 47 the number of Tory MPs who have said they will be standing down at the next election – an exodus that has come to resemble rats leaving a sinking ship (Times) – and any further comment from Mr AsI hereabouts would be superfluous.
The end of our often torrid love affair with our NHS?
Might it be – in Winston Churchill’s famous phraseology: Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

So for no reason I can fathom, this story from 2012 has been randomly resurrected by the ultra-misandrist Guardian and faithfully copied by the BBC. I think the article at The Guardian is longer than her ‘memoir’ – it’s epic !. And they’ve done 2.
I presume there’s no current issue they can use to hate men, so they just dragged this one back up because she has written a ‘memoir’ and needs some cash.

The Wimbledon team aren’t sports commentators. They’re middle class opinionated Guardian types who have no clue about competitive sport – which is perfect for the average Wimbledon viewer. I mean look at the crowd there, for the love of god – the number of flowery frocks and stupid hats, they aren’t sports fans. Wimbledon is a day out for people with house names instead of numbers.

Long live BiasedBBC.
Even the poison that is the BBC can’t change growing opinions in other EU countries. They’re too busy defending Pervy Huw to report growing resentment towards immigration in the EU in Holland, Greece, Poland and Hungary not to mention how close Le Pen got to victory in France.
These FACTS as ever seem far from the truth that their news is reporting. Not the welcoming diverse utopia they are peddling.
As for Huw, a man who’s 60 or so pays a lot of money for pictures of a teenager who is 18 or 19 (legally allowed). On a moral level that is so wrong. Yet again the “mental health” excuse is rolled out as if to justify the immoral behaviour.

BBC to refer to the LAW or to themselves?
What is the timeline for these actions?
Was Huw presenting Children in Need at the time?
If a young person under the age of 18 takes a sexually explicit image or video of themselves then they’ve unwittingly created child pornography. By sending this content on to another person, they’ve distributed an indecent image of a child.24 Jun 2022
What does the law say?
In the UK the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16. However, it is an offence to make, distribute, possess or show any indecent images of anyone aged under 18, even if the content was created with the consent of that young person. The law is contained in Section 1 Protection of Children Act 1978. ‘Indecent’ is not defined in legislation. When cases are prosecuted, the question of whether any photograph of a child is indecent is for a jury, magistrate or district judge to decide.

I see over at ITBB (do go) that Simpo has joined the chorus of senile reporters advocating a new form of journalism.

“They may of course raise their glasses to double standards, the power of connections or to the right sort of people, but probably not. And definitely not to Onlyfans.”
Simpo likely already reliving how he relieved Huw single handedly.

I know that the Beeb are despaerate, but £35,000 for ‘viewing figures’ seems a little drastic to me…
Or am I reading this wrong?
And do their ‘viewing figures’ include citizens who won’t/don’t pay the TV tax? I guess they must do, so the value of the RAJAR figures is irrelevant! Capita really don’t have a clue who or who isn’t watching the garbage, they just harass and collect money in this order: –
1) Capita’s income.
2) Beebonic’s gross income.
3) Useful idiot’s extra income for clowns like Mad Ali, Vicki Price, Linker and the autocue-readers’ sister’s dog’s pension fund.

Leo Kearse doesnt need a studio to impart his comments he only needs to stand on its roof and shout for the country to hear him. I don’t watch him too much (and turn the volume down when i do) as I don’t find him or the other so called comedians on Headliners the slightest bit humorous.

“Migrant barge: Portland is a dumping ground, residents say”

barge … barge ….
As the barge fleet approaches the Suez Canal, Egyptian military forces fire a warning shot, causing the fleet to steer south, around the Cape of Good Hope. To the surprise of observers, the apartheid regime of South Africa floats out bargesof food and supplies, which the migrants throw overboard. The international press is thrilled, believing the rejection of these supplies to be a political statement against the apartheid South African regime. Western leaders, confident the migrants will accept supplies from their “more virtuous” nations, organize a supply mission, funded by governments, charities, rock stars and major churches, to meet the migrants off São Tomé. However, the fleet does not stop for these barges either, and when a worker from the Pope’s barge attempts to board one of the ships, he is strangled and thrown overboard. The press attempts to contain coverage of the murder.

You clearly know more than I. Opinion and probability noted.
However if this is but one that is accurate, an awful lot more remains ‘unanswered’, with the BBC applying the ‘serious questions’ technique pretty unidirectionally via all its platforms and mates now, given the rozzers have backed off all sides.
Suggesting there’s a bunch of stuff outside the legal domain but in the wonderful world of gutter journalism the BBc inhabits as much as anyone, there’s still lots of juice but they want it shut down.
Maybe once they get to flippant questions things will stabilise?

GW,
I would be very interested in knowing, of the 4% black people living in the UK, the proportion of which, had a mortgage. Could it be that the generosity of the taxpayer in benefits is far greater than normally perceived and the yardstick is different for blacks?
Perhaps that is accounted for, for black people when our own, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster’ hints that: “…..there are reasons why the pain may not be as bad as it could be.”

The ICO needs to get their act in gear – the Sir Humphreys moved them ‘oop north several years ago now and the crew changed – their mission changed from evaluate + act to prevaricate and sit on your hands if there’s an actionable incident.
Dealing with them is a PITA as the procedures in place for FoI have been set up to deliberately make it – at present – near impossible to deal with public bodies refusing to answer – they simply don’t expose any real FoI complaint procedure.
We made a compliant some 6 years ago which was effectively dealt with in terms of investigation – there was however no punishment for Environment Agency lies and misdirection beyond “censure” – when the lies blocked evidence that was core to a High Court action.
Not fit for purpose

I knew someone who worked for one of these Quangos, the chairman was some public school tie old boy who had so many appointments he couldn’t actually spend more than a couple of hours a week at each one, yet collected a handsome salary from each for doing what could only amount to very little.

Well, The Environment Agency had a boss who bragged about having an STD as if it was some kind of qualification for his elevation to high office.
and yes – he had a raft of jobs/titles – few of which he was intellectually equipped or experienced for and yes, they all paid rather well.

All I am trying to see from Twitter is what Starmer said about Scunthorpe today
But Twitter on that search is full of hatey hatey spite from crazy libmob who are calling Scunthorpe people “gammon” “thick” “sC%NThorpians” etc.
.. https://twitter.com/plyons45/status/1680486403115819009
Why’s that ?
Well cos some crazy big antifa account tweeted a video from StandUpToracism and aid it was “FASCISTS” an anti-open borders march in Scunthorpe
Among the hate two or three people pointed out he was wrong cos the march was in Scarborough
He deleted his tweet with a small apology.

I found the tweets about Starmer
They are almost all subtle copies of each other .. copied off a Labour Press release
I check and most are lefty journos
eg “Starmer explains that he praises green steel production in Scunthorpe, as the change he wants to see.
Contrasts with Tree Huggers or protestors gluing people to the road.
Doesn’t approve of Just Stop Oil. calls them Disruptive Arrogant “interfering with people’s everyday lives.”

It’s on ITV, not the BBC, but they are two cheeks of the same metropolitan left wing bonus hole.
I refer to “A Spy Among Friends”. I have just seen the first episode.
It concerns the Kim Philby affair, and is set in 1963, at a time when the senior officers in MI5, MI6 and even the KGB were all middle aged white men.
So naturally a fictitious woman has to be introduced into the cast. She has to have a Durham accent. And she has to have a black husband, an African doctor no less.
In 1963.
They are trolling us. I have been quite looking forward to this series, as I have an interest in this spy story, but I just cannot be bothered to watch it now. They are just misrepresenting our history too much.

Hi Rob, we watched it all, back to back episodes, last week and I have to say that I enjoyed it. Not quite ‘John le Carre’, but a pretty good 1960s spy drama non the less. I couldn’t really see the point of the BAME role, especially as he mumbled all his lines, and never explained his story – I’m guessing that he had some Windrush connection though?
Anyway, stick with it for another episode or two as it was a different angle on the Philby scandal.

Sorry Grim,
I made the decision not to watch any more on principle. I can’t stand the left’s distortion of our history.
I understand they are making a series about King Arthur with a black Merlin and a black Guinevere. It’s actually getting quite sinister, as if white people don’t really belong here any more.
