Weekend 15th July 2023

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.

    Whilst the bird an appears to beating Djokovic at the tennis.
    And watched by a sea of hideously white faces in the audience ,
    The BBC cameramen seem to be able to find every non white face in the crowd to focus on during breaks.

        As interesting as the lack of non-white faces in that crowd is the age of many of them.

        Nothing wrong with older festival goers, but we should recognise that Glastonbury has not been a young person’s event for a good couple of decades now, and that the crowd it actually attracts are largely well heeled, 50+, Metroliberals from London – always worth remembering that when the Beeb talks about Glastonbury.

          Who else can afford £300 a ticket?

          I knew people back in the 90s who used to sneak in, but that was before the 12 foot fences were erected, protected by goon squads.

          But as they were chanting this year, “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here”.

          Not at Glasto they aren’t, unless they can afford the tickets.

          Brain dead hypocrites.

      The Dame Janet Smith report into Jimmy Savile and the BBC has been published. It contains the following key points:

      At least 72 people were sexually abused by Savile in connection with his work at the BBC, including eight victims who were raped.
      There was also one attempted rape. The youngest rape victim was 10 years old

      The offending took place from 1959 to 2006, mostly in the 1970s

      The largest number of victims was in connection with Savile’s work on the BBC’s Top of the Pops programme

      Like Savile, former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall was a serial sexual predator, targeting and grooming young girls

      Hall abused at least 21 victims, eight of whom were girls under the age of 16. The youngest was 10

      Both men used their fame and positions of celebrity to engage in “monstrous behaviour”

      The culture of the BBC enabled Savile and Hall’s offending to go undetected for decades

      The BBC missed at least five opportunities to stop the abuse

      The BBC (by which I mean the Left) care as much about her as they do about any of the black 15 year old boys being stabbed to death by other black 15 year old boys in Londonistan.

      Which is not at all. They only matter if whitey did it and they can used as weapons against the Right.

      They are disgusting human beings – but I suspect the majority are just stupid youngsters being influenced by activist group-think and don’t even realise. You can read how full of hate they are on every BBC HYS these days.

      In contrast, cosmologists believe the Big Bang flung energy in all directions at the speed of light (300,000,000 meters per second, a million times faster than the H-bomb) and estimate that the temperature of the entire universe was 1000 trillion degrees Celsius at just a tiny fraction of a second after the explosion.

        The Big Bang is a Jesuit-inspired joke, but that aside. The ‘expert’ cosmologists say one thing in private but another in public. Occasionally though something gets into the public sphere that demonstrates how much you think you know is simply what you’ve been told in the indoctrination camps. Don’t worry, all of us fall for it initially.
        I suggest you watch ‘The Principle’ available on Amazon, but rarely mentioned in the mainstream. Many of the leading ‘experts’ have come to the conclusion …. drum roll please…the Earth is at the centre of the Universe.

        I was listening to some documentary about Stephen Hawkin who didn’t believe in God because he had proved that the universe began with a ‘singularity ‘ .

        Unfortunately he did nt explain why God wasn’t responsible for ‘creation ‘ ….

      Today’s date but I thought it was an old story

      3 years ago BBC news did a hyperbolic item saying it had been withdrawn.
      .. https://twitter.com/PatWilliams1944/status/1285079535424360449

      It’s Soho and was full of strip clubs and upstairs prostitutes (so Fed told me)
      so is a mosque really worse ?

      Ah the Stop The Mosque Petition website warned 3 years ago that after withdrawl the plans were likely to be resubmitted later

        “We’ve got too many chicken shops in our town centres (London), … We’ve got too many pawn brokers in our town centres (London 2015). We’ve got too many gambling shops in our town centres (London 2015). Elect me (Sadiq Khan) to be the London Mayor and we’ll sort all those three things out. {metro.co.uk aug2015}”

        …. compare Mr. Khan with a man speaking from years ago, in the desert ….
        “O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination…” – Qur’an 5v90

        Who is in charge of 7000+ pubs in London in 2017?

        … wait, 3 years earlier Sadiq Khan spoke at the Chicken Cottage Awards in 2012 for more Halal and Chicken Cottage …

        “Here’s the beautiful thing … these are British products, selling Islamic Products, selling Halal Products (Halal – throat cut whilst conscious, slaughtered by Muslim only employee, incantation to animal from a Koran by Muslim only). That is niche and general, but it’s gone main stream. {Sadiq Khan – youtube Chicken Cottage Award Ceremony 2012}”

        – Mayor in charge of 7000+ pubs of London with moral conflict with his religion?
        – Mayor in charge of betting shops of London with moral conflict with his religion?
        – Mayor promises fewer chicken shops (2017) but was promoting more Halal chicken production (2012)!
        – Mayor promotes Halal food process – which is positive discrimination for Muslims! {halalfoodauthority.com}

        “London chose me as their mayor, not just an ethnic minority, not just a religious minority, but a Londoner of Islamic faith.” – Sadiq Khan, {cnn.com sep2016}

        Very odd that Sadiq Khan’s London Manifesto 2016 does not mention voting for him because of his Islamic Faith?

    Anyone noticed that women’s TV commercials for “beauty” products are now populated with oodles of overweight, coloured, disabled models etc etc.

    This all seems like a dead certain way to switch off and drive away potential consumers to me.

    No doubt Ofcom are knee deep in this manic and perverse fantasy along with woke agency creatives simply so they can trumpet their “inclusive” mantra.

    I can only see their “normal” consumers being alienated and giving up on them in droves.

    The most basic tenet in selling lifestyle products is to get prospective buyers to identify with the models as if they were somehow themselves in an aspirational way.

    All good really as the companies who bow down to this deluded fever to avoid negative push back are effectively signing their own financial death warrants in the long run.

    Sometimes it’s probably best to let these deluded companies come to their senses when they see their sales figures sag.

      Yes I have noticed it especially one advert for Dove.An obese black woman a black woman with blotchy skin and a woman with Downs Syndrome.People used to criticize them for having stick thin models in their adverts but they’ve gone from one extreme to the other totally missing out the vast majority of normal people.

      I stopped doing the National Lottery years ago but going by their adverts I’m not their intended customer anyway recently I’ve seen a gay couple an inter-racial couple and not forgetting that black man in a wheelchair flying about in their adverts.
