      Excerpt from the Grayzone website:

      “American journalists with ties to US intelligence have sought to justify the targeting of online influencers. Christo Grozev, the lead Russia investigator at the US government-funded outlet Bellingcat, justified the bombing of a public event at a cafe in St. Petersburg on the grounds that the target was a “propagandist.”

      Similarly, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, an American journalist and former Democratic Party operative who enlisted in Ukraine’s armed forces, filmed a phantasmagorical defense of the arrest of American Gonzalo Lira by Ukrainian intelligence agents on the same grounds. While the SBU had only publicly released images of Lira with his face blurred, Ashton-Cirllo was somehow able to produce uncensored versions”.

    Old diaries are often interesting, amusing and occasionally moving to look back on. I’ve kept a diary since I was about ten years old, so I’ve got stacks of the damned things.

    The early ones tend to record football results. Generally with a scoreline that included, Fulham nil…

    However, coming up to July the 30th 1983 (so, forty years ago this very day) I find myself commenting on the weather. Having always been an outdoors bloke the elements have been important…and I loathe excessive heat.

    “Weather cool and refreshing at the beginning of the week, but now the temperature has soared into the low 90s.” Of course, I’m using Fahrenheit, as I still do…and this translates into about 33 Celsius…or thereabouts.

    Forty years ago we used to have a cheery weatherman, who would show sunny symbols and blue skies. These days, for far lower temperatures, the sky is depicted as a vivid and threatening red and there are reminders to “carry water” and “make sure you’re using protection”… blimey, what do they imagine we’re getting up to?… and these warnings are often followed by a piece telling us “This has been the hottest month since the dinosaurs roamed the planet.” I wouldn’t be surprised if the weather broadcast was played in with Elgar’s Nimrod, just so that we all got the message…

    Everything is done to induce panic.

    In !983; 93 degrees Fahrenheit, “It’s going to be a bit warm”.

    In 2023; 25 degrees Celsius, “We’re facing Dante’s Inferno”.

    Take your pick…

      Jeff, in the Bible, Proverbs chapter 29 verse 25 says: “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” (KJV on-line)

      Fear in the Bible means, ‘respect, reverence, being held in awe’. We might add ‘being listened to with respect’ when in the week just past we have had Antonio Gutterres say “The world has reached boiling point.” and certain sections of the media – but strangely not the BBC – picked up on that fear with fear (Biblical meaning) and normally the BBC would do so likewise. The BBC are totally signed up to the Global Warming and Climate Change thing and do not usually allow any contrary opinions to be expressed.

    There is a glaring gap in the market.

    Farage was refused by 10 Banks and we hear there are thousands being debanked.
    I think just about everyone debanked will be on the Right of politics as opposed to all the Banks who appear to be full on lefty wokes.

    Why doesn’t someone get a Bank started for all of us on the Right.
    There’s 52% of (Brexit) voters in danger of having their accounts closed plus so many others who are seen as not woke enough.

    Is there no person or group who can see this opening.
    Start on line at first then go high street.
    There’s the customers out there for such a Bank so surely it’s a golden opportunity for someone.
    I bet the depositors would flock in to open accounts.
    Why should only the left own the Banks.

    As I’m paying on the cheap for the Telegraph there is a piece today on the ‘top 50 comedians of the 21st century ‘….. naturally I didn’t read the rubbish but scrolled through – wondering how that got past ‘1’ – yet alone 50 . Billy Connelly is in there but I thought he has a brain disease of some kind and retired a decade ago – I might be wrong – some one called ‘nish ‘ gets in there at a bout 25 – I only know of nish because he gets crucified here from time to time ….. I’m guessing the average of the 50 is raised a lot by the likes of billy c and thar Michael £ macintire – but otherwise I reckon the ave age it the BBC ideal -around 26 – still young enough to have not grown up or how near death can be …. Although I bet many die on stage very often and quick …

    RIP bob Monkhouse , Bernard manning , Eric and Ernie , Ronnie x2 , so many ….

      article “🎭The #EdinburghFringe is almost here, and our critics have picked the defining stand-ups of the century so far.
      Read on for the Telegraph’s 50 funniest comedians of the 21st century”

      So basically it’s a promo piece for Edinburgh , helps Telegraph get a good stock of free tickets

      Obviously limiting it to 21C ie last 23 years, leaves off most classic comedians

      Wonder where Roy Chubby Brown comes ?

      The Telegraph under that tweets does promo tweets for
      #1 Fern Brady ..some child
      #2 Nish
      #3 Joe Lycett
      #4 🤣Eddie Izzard
      All the tweets in that thread get zero Likes except Izzard who got 8

      The final tweet has one reply, but Twitter suppressed it

    I just had a million pound bet with myself, and WON !!
    The BBC website has a “feature” on ” Why I took to
    shop lifting because of cost of living crisis” My bet
    was that when we saw the HAND of the shop lifter it
    would be GETTY’S imaging showing us a WHITE hand.
    And of course it was.
    If you want to see a black hand , just look at Getty’s showing
    us folk looking at their utility bills. Their mortgage bills.
    The prices of goods in a supermarket etc. In fact any public
    issue concern.
    Where may you see another white hand from Getty’s imaging
    for the BBC. Knife crime?

    Strangely a lot of those swivel-eyed loons with tinfoil hats were telling you this in March 2020 but no one listened. They are still not listening. The facts are simple
    There is no SARS-CoV2. In fact, there are no viruses that harm people but that is a step too far for most.
    The ‘plandemic’ was agreed upon decades ago as NGOs and intelligence services began the plans to introduce a way of gulling the masses into accepting totalitarianism for the sake of their own safety.
    The HIV/AIDS scam was the template and worked so well that they knew the Covaids would be a slam dunk because despite the overwhelming evidence HIV does not exist the vast majority are incapable of understanding this fact.
    The swine flu of 2009 failed because certain Governments in Western Europe were still not wholly on board with locking down their populations, in particular the nationalist Polish Government that was taken out just after in 2010. Now why do you think they chose Putin to let them cover up the bombing?
    The next one will make the Covaids look like a picnic in the park.

    Whatever anybody thinks about Nigel you have to admire him.

    He took on the might of the EU and won.

    Now he is taking on (all) the Banks, probably the most powerful block out there (apart from these shady and sinister groups out to run the World)

    I hope I’m wrong but I fear for him. If it was in Russia he would be advised to keep away from high places or tea that glows. In the West will it be like Kennedy or David Kelly. Be careful Nige.

    ULEZ if you want to.

    Seems twitter is afire with two camps… Labour pols, Labour media and Labour groupies vs…. the public.

    Just back from a lovely trip in a rented camper.

    Bar a few things.

    We were wild camping so going near a city was not on the agenda, however some necessary relly duty got us close in Glasgow.

    However… one day going through it on the M8 a combination of a massive jam and an outdated satnav saw us diverted down a slip road, at the bottom of which was a discreet little sign that had something about zones. We had seen nothing else before, nor had any clue what it was, being boonie folk.

    However I had the presence of mind to hang a turn immediately and go left and left to rejoin the traffic jam belching fumes from the flyer down into the zone below. A bit like 747s do over Heathrow and surrounds.

    IF we get a fine I will be vexed.

    As might most in Scotland working for a living as it appears a country dependent on tourists. Most of whom arrive in vehicles, often diesel. Or get into big ones, inevitably diesel.

    But of course it is zero to do with keeping little moppets’ lungs clean. It is alllll about political revenue if not economically realistic revenue. Few will visit Scotland by any other means once Klaus has us in 15′ city mode. Even Jez might struggle to pedal his ego from the Gorbals to Fort William with the fam in tow.

      Household air pollution from use of cooking fuel and under-five mortality: The role of breastfeeding status and kitchen location in Pakistan

      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5344381/

      To reduce exposure to cooking fuel which is a preventable determinant of under-five mortality in Pakistan, the challenge remains to promote behavioural interventions such as breastfeeding in infancy period, keeping young children away from the cooking area, and improvements in housing and kitchen design.

      If you have an EV you should have plenty of fire alarms and an escape route. You can’t just put the fire out with an extinguisher.

    Diversity at the BBC means that a BBC journalist would agree that “The world has reached boiling point”. This is because boiling point is 100 degrees, and BBC journalists have pointed out that temperatures in southern Europe have reached 100 degrees.

    However due to diversity at the BBC this means BBC journalists like Marianna Spring are ignorant of the difference between 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Centigrade.

    Therefore the idea that boiling point is 212 degrees is banned by BBC Verify and Marianna Spring, because they regard this misinformation as a right-wing conspiracy theory.

    It was a bit strange of course
    and union corporate as city bus/police cars and fire-engines all sported big LGBTQ+ paint jobs
    (paid for by magic unicorns)
    – The queues had quite a lot of costumed pre-pubescent children in, as if they’d been doing a school project on it and Mum & Dad or Grandparents had taken them along
    Very young families on the bus home also sported rainbow costumes and hats
    seemingly taking it as a free gala and concert to go to.

    Occasionally I’d see tall six ft unfeminine blokes dressed as women, accompanied by actually quite good looking younger women
    Maybe it was “march with your trans dad” or something.

      Activists are destroying the civilised world. And The Guardian have some left-wing-extremists of their own writing columns mixed in with their usual far-left staff. That article shows how bitter and full of hate they are.

        They don’t really believe it – but the Left are such monumental hypocrites and liars, they will say anything at all if it suits their agenda.

        They are so sure of their ideological superiority, they believe ‘the ends justify any means they consider fit’. As did Hitler. And Pol Pot. And Stalin.

    To me Cornwall reservoir graphs have moved to the scenario where their own terms say there should be no hosepipe ban
    However they still have the ban
    And the levels they publish are 7 days out of date again
    so my bet is the PR dept is supressing the truth that the reservoirs are even fuller.
    They know water levels moment by moment there is no reason to delay stats by 7 days.

    Tweet : Today the awful #BBCSundayShow had a pice on the ‘far-right’ & ‘nationalsits’ mostly lifted from BBC radio4 report the way @BBCRadioScot does.

    No mention of a UKGovt warehousing asylum seekers in barges, no mention of illegal deportations to Rawanda

    R4doco is now about modern slavery in care homes/carwashes etc

    em if the borders were properly policed the modern-slaves wouldn’t have got in the country in the first place.

    It’s not good that after reporting the government automatically gives them the right to stay in the UK
    .

      ‘modern slavery’ now means illegal immigrants taking any work they can get without any formal documentation.

      All because of leftist-driven (and particularly the BBC) policies of course – but they will NEVER admit it. It’s always someone else’s fault.

      Why don’t the green crapsters all just off themselves if they think the planet in in ‘peril ‘ – they’d reduce CO2 output – prevent the breeding of more types like them – and make the roads clearer so that I can go faster and burn more oil products …
      Mind you – if they did the decent thing a few thousand in Blighty wouldn’t affect the weather much – but make things much more pleasant for the grown ups …

    I have tumbled to a seemingly insignificantpp but actually very significant realisation in the past few months.

    Formerly when given the option of paying by cash or card the question would be “cash or card?”

    Since the covid extravaganza it has morphed into simply
    “Contactless?”

    I would put down money that this sort of lingual societal shift is a direct result of the shady “nudge” unit working behind the scenes.

    I wonder if wokes could ever compare them selves to members of the Stalinist communist party or the hitler nazi party .
    It’s the certainty . The belief that everyone else is wrong and must be won round ( or else ) this attitude seems to be getting deeper and sinister even by the day . Hot weather will be followed by heavy rain – then cold – the autumn – but all of it will be witchcraft ….
    Dissenters must be punished – eg for owning a car or going on holiday or just living ….maybe in a while they ll l want to kill us off …

        I always wondered whether the Germans put him into a gas chamber . I often read the gospels and try to decode them for the current time . It’s weird because – having received a 100% RC education at fairly decent schools – I stopped the religious stuff as basic life got in the way .

        But one day -when I least expected it – someone dying on me asked me to pray for them . So back to the RCs I went . As anyone reading me on this site would testify I am far from a full Christian
        But I do know that Satan – in various forms is doing very well at the moment – just look at the BBC ….

        I also find the Pride thing deeply offensive and of course sinful … but that’s me …

        As for another return – I don’t think the human race deserves its….just fast forward to Revelation …

          Fed, the Germans would have done before and during WW2. The Olivet Discourse is very interesting: recorded by Matthew (chapter 24) and Mark (chapter 13) and later researched by Luke who would have had to rely on the good memory of others (chapter 21).

          What you have to do is read through all three and work out what relates to the time of AD70 (Romans destroying Temple), what relates generally to the whole of history, what relates to WW2 and Communism, and what relates to now and the future now. We have been privileged to avoid WW2 but to see the creation of the state of Israel (an important sign mentioned in the Bible in the Old Testament) and also to see the Berlin Wall come down.

          As for ‘Pride’ and all that, Romans chapter 1 applies, verses 26 and 27. It also applies to the Anthropomorphic Global Warming and Climate Change thing: see Romans 1v25. The Eco-Fanatics worship trees and solar panels and wind turbines and sacrifice landscapes and seascapes to them respectively. Instead of putting their faith in God, it is placed in solar panels, wind turbines, heat pumps, green hydrogen, electric cars and better insulation.

          Romans chapter 1 is very 21st century!

    Just had to share this.

    Facebook pushed some pathetic far-left nonsense post in front of me and it had 3.8k comments.

    So I opened them at random, picked one comment at random and looked to see who made it.

    Here is who it was:

      Good old BBC. Bringing their politics into sport as they bring them into everything else.

      They wouldn’t know a REAL ethic if you hit them in the face with one.
