The malinformationists of the ‘British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC)’, controlled by the ‘Office For Censorship, Obfuscation & Manipulation (OFCOM)’, have used ‘Office for flawed National Statistics (ONS)’ malinformation, to produce the lie that the mRNA jab is ‘Safe & Effective’, by turning thousands of deaths from vaccination, into fraudulently labelling these people as unvaccinated, and also fraudulently underestimating the number of unvaccinated, by three fold.
Also, evidence has emerged that Covid-19 and mRNA jabs were a successful use of all 36 Chinese strategies on the CIA, as well as the CCP’s use of bribing the “white elite” into destroying themselves with progressive & communist ideology & transferring their industry to China. The Chinese have bought the Gold and fooled the “white elite” into destroying their own military with a jab. From 2010 to 2012, all Chinese ethnic agents who opposed communism, were systematically executed, based on intelligence leaks from white people in the CIA who support Communism. To put the horror of this catastrophe into perspective, dozens of Chinese Communist Party officials had been selfless enough to place their trust in the United States, hoping that in doing so, might help bring positive change to their country. However, a group of ‘white European’ Pro-Chinese communists within the CIA routed this information back to the CCP and had every one of these brave ethnic Chinese individuals murdered; the fate of their families is unknown. Apparently the use of the 36 Chinese strategies by the CCP has effectively meant the CIA has become a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party. This was why the CIA was funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology: https://www.michaelpsenger.com/p/the-unwitting-coup-was-the-response
It explains why obvious communist assets like Tory Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, Lancet editor-in-chief Richard Horton, 40-year British Communist Party Member Susan Michie, the WHO’s Bruce Aylward, and other white communist & pro-EU traitors have been able to operate so openly and even advance their careers despite all the murders and harm their policies have caused, as well as being responsible for the murder of all those ethnic Chinese people who supported freedom and democracy, and opposed communism.

UPDATED: 22:37, 25 December 2021
It’s hard to see how what Stanley Johnson claims, can be true, in view of the relatively small populations here in the UK and the much larger ones in China (at present around 20 times ours).
From ourworldindata.org (pop. figures are for England only):
1800 <10m
1850 30m
1950 <42m
2000 55m
Compare with China (source: Wikipedia)
1800 >300m
1850 >450m
1900 >475m
1950 >550m
2000 1,400m
Even with, until more recently, a higher per capita output of CO2 in the industrialized UK, China is in a different league because of its size; and has now been overtaken population-wise by India!
This Underground Fire Has Been Burning for 59 Years

Seven or eight flames constantly lick up from the four-meter square patch in a village in Chongqing’s Changshou district in southwest China. Regardless of weather, the spot kindles year-round. Locals flock to the location in a twice-a-day ritual to boil water, which takes only about five minutes.

Packham’s words
So again, we should appreciate that when we’re messing with the climate in the way that we are at the moment, we don’t have any guarantees that it would just continue to get a bit warmer, a bit warmer, a bit warmer. It might just get a bit warmer, and that might be a bit too much, and then everything changes.
And the last thing is that it won’t be like it’ll change for ten years, and then we can fix it. When we see these changes taking place throughout our planet’s history, it takes millions of years, sometimes hundreds of millions of years, for the planet to recover in the wake of one of those changes. I think it does really throw some light on the fact that we are quite literally playing with fire at the moment. And it’s a very dangerous game. Throughout the programs we focus on the climate, because the climate is very important, always has been, because of its direct impact on life. We nod to the fact that we are harming the climate throughout our first four programs. And in the final program we address it head on.”

“It’s a stark cautionary tale of how rapid climate change can cause whole ecosystems to collapse, but the fossil record also hints at Earth’s miraculous powers of reinvention. “

New rules? Putting the boot on the other foot edition
They do say one can’t have too much of a good thing. When it comes to football, I’m not so sure that’s true – and even the players seem to agree: Extra extra time… English football’s new rules on increased stoppage time have angered players and coaches, with some claiming that matches could last up to 25 minutes longer (Times)
New rules…? There may be certain areas of life where we’d like to see some new rules – football isn’t necessarily one of them. Mr AsI would prefer to do away with many recent soccer innovations such as five substitutes, VAR (obviously), Gareth Southgate, taking the knee and half-and-half scarves.
Compatriots hereabouts joked how our BBC might exhibit divided loyalties when the England ladies met the Nigeria girls (bring back our girls? Too soon? Or too long ago to recall the reference?) in that much heralded female version of the World Cup – the Julia Rime Trophy?
Apparently, the so-called Lionesses squeaked through.
Our residual patriots, the tabloid red tops, are of course pleased as punch: Yeeeeeess! (Daily Star); Joy after World Cup nailbiter (The Sun) – we interupt the sport to pounce on the notion of fingernails – that happy segueway to cartoonist Matt’s gag in the Telegraph referencing our much talked of but sadly non-existant in reality immigration controls: paterfamilias clutching his daily broadsheet newspaper addresses mater: “They’re clamping down on employing illegal migrants. I’ll paint your nails if you wash the car”
Spicey Mr AsI ponders the imagined conversation betwixt the teenaged offspring – perusing pop-up news on the mobile phone (obviously): “Clamping down on illegal migrants…? I’ll score your drugs, if you can groom and traffic the hookers”
Back to the sport… The Sun cheers on our team, any England team, to win: Lionesses show Lions how to do it
But as predicted in these waters hereabouts the left-leaners may have preferred a Nigerian victory: Phew! Daylight robbery Lively Nigeria outclass England – but are outgunned on penalties (‘i’)
Of course our old friend Andy Murray led the way: Wimbledon memories: How Andy Murray’s ‘anyone but England’ joke taught him his biggest lesson… some misguided souls still haven’t forgiven Murray for joking he would “support whoever England were playing against” at the World Cup (Tennis 365) – Misguided soul Mr AsI pleads guilty as charged and in mitigation qoutes Bill Shankly: “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” – except the wimmins game, of course – where Mr AsI says mehhh.
Bad girls
Star forward Lauren James repentant after red card for stamp (‘i’)
Do I hear a ‘despite’ ?
England into last eight despite James’s red card (Telegraph); Women’s World Cup: England ride luck and stumble to victory after Lauren James sees red… then a moment of wild emotion saw James sent off. After the latest instance of her being dispossessed, the Chelsea forward snapped – standing on Michelle Alozie’s back. It was a deserved red card (BBC)
XR activist jailed for killing her boyfriend… stabbed her boyfriend to death as he pleaded “I love you”, Kingston Crown Court heard. Blaze Lily Wallace, a 28-year-old law graduate, was yesterday jailed for life (Telegraph)
Perhaps there was something to this furore afterall – although as it turns out, the boot was on the other foot, so to speak: What is the meaning behind Delilah and why has the song been banned at Welsh rugby matches? The banning of the song comes after allegations were made in a recent BBC documentary about a toxic culture permeating through the Welsh Rugby Union… The song tells the story of a young woman named Delilah who is murdered by her boyfriend after being caught with another man. Her boyfriend then reaches for a knife and stabs her to death… ‘The WRU condemns domestic violence of any kind…. We have previously sought advice from subject matter experts on the issue of censoring the song and we are respectfully aware that it is problematic and upsetting’ (Metro)
I thought the report on the case of the green crap activist accidentally murdering her drug dealer boyfriend of three months just about summed up how these demonstrators have found huge unchallenged power against decent people via the woke plod … and thought – well -2 – less – there’s hope.
Meanwhile the discipline hearing against a bloke called Veale – a chief constable found him guilty of just about everything – including inviting a ‘colleague ‘ to touch herself . Naturally Veale keeps his pension after retiring 2 years ago – he had in the mean time been police advisor ….
And more meanwhile – the ‘trial ‘ of a met plod commander for drug abuse has gone quiet – maybe he ll be getting a handout and promotion …
Mucho Simposo (for Hornblower fans) at it still.
I fine response from fin – HRH Simpson is that entitled monster the BBC produces – ranging from Attenborough to dimbleby PLC and lately the coloured brand they have bought along .
Jeez – they are just journalists – almost as low in life as politicians – yet deciding on what is approved and labelling every thing else as ‘far right ‘ …. When the is no ‘far right ‘ just conscious objectors …to their woke world ..
For everything else, there is OFCOM.
… or…. BBC Verify…
Mucho Simposo is a big fan. And Femi.

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

You can add to that the ” Balen Report” commisioned in 2004 to investigate BBC bias on their reporting of the Middle East conflict. It has never seen the light of day and the bbc have spent hundreds of thousands maybe millions of licence payers money keeping it well hidden. They commisioned it and when confronted with it’s findings they have hidden it.
A number of people requested copies of the report under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The BBC rejected these requests on the grounds that the report fell under a derogation in the FOI Act: “Information held by the BBC is subject to the Freedom of Information Act only if it is ‘held for purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature’.”[4] The BBC contended that as an internal report aimed at checking its own standards of journalism, the report was held for purposes of journalism.[4] The BBC’s position was challenged by Jewish activist[5] and consultant commercial solicitor at London firm Forsters,[6] Steven Sugar, who appealed initially to the Information Commissioner (who ruled in favour of the BBC) and then to the Information Tribunal (who ruled that the report was not held for purposes of journalism).[4]

For a fee former first minister Nicola Sturgeon, and her staff, were given fast-track security and access to lounges at UK and European airports.
Other purchases on procurement cards included yoga classes and nail polish.
The Scottish government said it could not comment on a first minister’s travel plans for security reasons.
An official added that all spending on the cards was subject to “robust authorisation and regular auditing arrangements”.

Grant Farming is a feature of loads of youknee “business” spinoffs.

2018 … “Over the years, overall, immigration has been good for the UK. It has brought people with different backgrounds, different outlooks here to the UK,” – Theresa May 2018

So we’ll take a radical step – we’ll make illegal working a criminal offence in its own right. That means wages paid to illegal migrants will be seized as proceeds of crime… and businesses will be told when their workers’ visas expire… so if you’re involved in illegal working – employer or employee – you’re breaking the law.
The Prime Minister said:
A strong country isn’t one that pulls up the drawbridge…it is one that controls immigration. Because if you have uncontrolled immigration, you have uncontrolled pressure on public services. And that is a basic issue of fairness.
Uncontrolled immigration can damage our labour market and push down wages. It means too many people entering the UK legally but staying illegally. The British people want these things sorted.
That means…dealing with those who shouldn’t be here by rooting out illegal immigrants and bolstering deportations. Reforming our immigration and labour market rules so we reduce the demand for skilled migrant labour and crack down on the exploitation of unskilled workers. That starts with making Britain a less attractive place to come and work illegally.
And we’re going to get far better at training our own people to fill these gaps from overseas.
Our one nation approach will be tougher, fairer and faster. With this Immigration Bill, and our wider action, we will put an end to houses packed full of illegal workers; stop illegal migrants stalling deportation; give British people the skills to do the jobs Britain needs. We are for working people. For them, we will control and reduce immigration.

Apparently the ever so strong blue labour government is setting up a ‘task force ‘ to ‘track down ‘ ‘rogue lawyers ‘ getting illegal asylum claims through the system – I fear the ‘task force ‘- -‘lawyers ‘ and ‘illegal asylum seekers ‘ will all have ‘family connections ‘ – probably with those in housing departments – the DWP and passport offices …

This is not my original idea but genuinely gave me food for thought. The “news” reports that 2.8 million people did not renew the TV licence last year. I have not researched this, no may be wrong. Does that number equal people or licences? Have they been viewing the electoral roles per household or council tax data? If it is licences the the number of people not viewing the BBC/ live TV could be considerably more than 2.8 million.
Gb – i thought it was just down 500 000 year on year – hence my maths in the ‘header ‘ here – if it was 2.8 million – that would be about 15% of total licences …
Fed, I did a little digging back to original sources. The 2.8 million refers to the number of people declaring they don’t need a licence from a Daily Mail online article, 360000 increase on the year . The post I saw interpreted it as not renewing which is, as usual, news speak.

The latest crop of rulings from the unit contains a rare specimen – a ‘partially upheld’ verdict about a BBC London report in April. This cast protesters in a huge central London march against Mayor Sadiq Khan’s hated expansion of ultra-low emissions zone (ULEZ) measures as being from the ‘far right’ and branded them ‘conspiracy theorists’.
A backdrop to the 44 complaints about the bulletin received by the BBC is that Sadiq Khan claimed opponents of ULEZ were ‘in coalition with the far right’ at a People’s Question Time meeting at Ealing Town Hall on March 2, a few weeks before the demonstration. Did the bulletin echo his accusations? The complainants thought so.
So, is this ‘partially upheld’ ruling a sign of a shift in BBC policy? As always, the devil is in the detail and the answer is a resounding No. The wording of the key section of the short bulletin was: ‘Campaigners against the ultra-low emission zone held a protest in central London today. Local protesters and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups . . .’
This was clearly dog-whistle labelling of the crudest variety, and its intention was to smear those who disagree with ULEZ as being potentially dangerous extremists.

There is “no outstanding risk to the public” and it is not being treated as terror-related, the Met Police says.
Offshore wind farms. Contentious enough, but I think they affect the weather.
I’ve noticed in the last couple of years that wind farms in the Liverpool Bay and Walney Island areas seem to be triggering rainfall events all the way into South Cheshire and Staffordshire.
I’ve done some Google searches and there does seem to be a large number of academics and researchers that also think that wind farms alter the weather, not just increased rainfall but other climate effects as well.
Have these climate effects been in the public consciousness at all? I thought not.
No effect at all, none… shut up denier.
I wonder the chemtrail brigade aren’t on it.
tomo.
I’d seen that photo and similar ones some time ago. The related articles seem to be about wake from turbines reducing the efficiency of the ones sat in the wake rather than issues with the weather.
That con trail says a lot about potential effect on the weather. I’ve seen rainfall bubbling up from the Gwynt y Mor, Rhyl and Burbo wind farms. Mathematical analysis would be difficult. I’ve done Uni level statistics but can’t think of a way of scientifically analysing what’s happening.
I can tell you that there’s major repair works happening on some turbines, they are only a handful of years old.
The cost of these offshore wind farms seems to be impenetrable. Common sense tells you they must be costing us a fortune but hey! when has common sense ever applied to Green crap.
A couple of years ago I spent a couple of weeks at Eemshaven in northern Holland watching the maintenance of the seafront wind turbines – there were two teams working every day with what looked like rolls of fibreglass matting and tubs of resin patching up the tatty turbine blades from a basket suspended from the nacelles.
All the blades I looked at through binoculars were heavily patched – I did wonder if they had any recipe for controlling the balancing of the re-worked blades.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2023/08/08/how-faulty-wind-turbines-threaten-to-bring-down-a-german-industrial-powerhouse/
There seems to be an assumption that windmills interacting with air flows ( wind – excuse me matron ) has no effect on the green crap climate – same with using power from tides …. How do they know there’s no knock effects ?
Asking for a fiend
Flotsam – apols – just seen your post 4 hours ahead of me … renewable energy might not be so easy …
Windfarm turbines are there to extract energy.
Take it from where it traditionally exists and anything down(no)wind will surely see a change never before experienced.
Anyhoo, is this not lovely?

I rather suspect on the day of the photo not many were producing much.
On less clement days they would more.
However, in aggressive salt water environments and high stress winds the design lives of 25 years at best seem optimistic. Even with patches.
As Siemens is now discovering, and Germany will in winter.
All the gas turbine Leopards are in Ukraine now as roadside flower pots, so the new gen ones around Berlin will each have its own windmill which should be fine against T-14 as long as there’s a breeze.

Boy, did I laugh, quite an outburst for so early in the morning. Does the BBC do comedy anymore? Yes, that’s becoming the hourly news:
Twenty or so of the dinghy people refuse to go onboard the vessel in Portland harbour. Many claim they have a fear of water…………

We finally arrived in Port Stanley later in the afternoon and spent the rest of the day sorting out admin and catching up on some much-needed sleep on ‘Coastel 3’ in the Harbour.
The Coastels were floating hotels for the military. They were originally oil rig accommodation belonging to Bibby Line. Each Coastel was five floors high and capable of housing a Battalion, plus attached units, and other personnel.
My sensitivity to slight changes around me was aroused earlier.
If you present cash in many supermarkets now, they like to give you piles of coins in the change. Always with a, “sorry we are short of notes”. Its all legal tender (at present) so, no complaints. I wonder why its happening increasingly……… Nudge, nudge, nudge.

Articles being put out about the Truss ‘honours list ‘. But I ask – what sort of character wouid accept a nomination in those circumstance ? And how much stick are they willing to take ?
If there is one positive thing that can come out of that monstrous premiereship should be the end of nonsense ‘conventions ‘ such as ‘honours ‘.
This won’t happen of course because all PMs use gongs or the promise of gongs – as a tool to get their way …. Hence the Lords heading for the 1000 mark …

Looks like Verify have taken onboard criticism that they’re just a bunch of schoolgirls using Google maps attempting to pass themselves off as experts. Remember they advertise themselves as “a highly specialised team with a range of forensic and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities that enable them to go beyond conventional newsroom techniques.”
Assistant Editor Olga is proud to present their penetrating forensic insight in a piece on the rebuilding of bombed Mariupol by Russia: “BBC Verify has used satellite footage to map how Russia is reshaping the fabric of the city.”
They’re using Planet Labs for pics… which is an alternative to Google Earth. So now we can say they’re a bunch of schoolgirls using a Google maps substitute attempting to pass themselves off as experts.
Never has a service been so knowingly oversold.

Come on let’s die in the freezing winters … no boilers – no gas – no wood burners …. No transport …
November.
Wasn’t that a poem?
It turns out that a Labour by-election candidate is a Greenpeace eco zealot called Alistair Strathern. He is the selected Labour candidate for the Mid Bedfordshire seat vacated by Nadine Dorries. He dressed up as a zombie in a recent eco protest.
I posted something about Smarmer and Greenpeace a couple days ago. As a reminder Smarmer represented the Greenpeace McLibel defendants, something that raised Smarmers profile and boosted his career.
The association between Smarmer and Greenpeace remains close. We can expect lots of green crap from his government.
Flotsam
Sorry I’m sceptical because the blue labour lot seems to have cornered the market on green crap . But maybe red labour will favour winter blackouts and rationing again …. I’m sure they’ll tax the arse off of air travel and ban runways …
With Smart Meters installed the power cuts will be allocated to Tory voting constituency. Perhaps they could decide cuts based on you’d Council Tax band
I don’t think so BUT they might be able to decide pricing based on location and especially differentiated pricing based on demand and the time of day – a very handy thing as electricity demand nears and exceeds power production and transmission capacity. Cup of tea during the Corrie ads? That will be a usage surcharge of 50%.

It appears there has been a State Funeral today.
A person called Sinead o Connor died. She had one hit record once, over 30 years ago, with a song written by someone else.
But crucially she cut her hair very short and was an ‘activist’. Therefore an ideal leftist heroine for our completely impartial leftist BBC. Cue gushing tributes and positive coverage out of all proportion to her value to society.
You forgot, she also became a muslim.
Rob, that must make it a slam dunk to cancel the TV schedules and have several hours of live coverage
Stuff, my thoughts exactly about the state funeral. Mourners lining the streets, I thought “really ?”. Messages from Russell Crowe, Cindi Lauper hells bells. Um are The Bachelors still alive?
Agree. I’m fed up with hearing about Sinn Fein O’Connor. It all seems to have been dragging on for days. Radio 4 had it on the 6pm news, when I was only half-paying attention, but I could tell from a certain tone they use, that she was approved of.
Typical vicarious BBC student Leftism.

Lauren James: England forward apologises for Women’s World Cup red card

Oh dear. After the cries of ‘racists’ against the hideously white womens football team, they succumbed and put some BAME in there.
Then the BAME doesn’t get a decision for a foul she wanted – so stands on the opposition players back in her studded boots while she is on the floor and gets sent off.
But the headline from the BBC is that she apologised so it’s alright. She didn’t mean it.
Of course she was told to apologise and the only thing she is sorry about is that she got sent off. It was 100% deliberate.
What strikes me is how thick she must be to think she would get away with it.
Vile gets in Smitty to criticise a Tory pol.
Meanwhile here is Souse making a claim.
