How will the BBC report the incoming Ultra Low Emissions Scheme being inflicted on unapproved vehicles in London from Tuesday 29th ? I think we can guess – and other towns and cities will be encouraged to get their schemes too …

MM, that is more undecipherable than all of Guest Who’s posts!
I assume the reason for Boris poor tonsorial appearance is down to the Taliban.
PS: Taliban, iirc, means ‘scholar or student (of Islam)’.
I aim to please ** and confuse.
“You have won the top but not the argument (c) Jeremy Corbyn” was trying to say Up2snuff may have won – but the left can change the definition of winning!
MM, aah got it now! The Lefties try to get a grip on everything while accusing the centre right, right and far right of being greasy and slippery. The Left have certainly got a grip on the UK at present. It is amazing that Boris winning an 80 seat majority in 2019 has created so much opposition from the media, Whitehall and the Unions.
I wonder if the sucker in charge of Labour together with his Blairite Chancellor will be able to control them should they win the next General Election.
Just for you.

excerpt Unaccountable organisations like Microsoft-backed NewsGuard are institutionally structured to rig the findings against right-of-centre media.
They then market their findings (“BrandGuard“) to advertising agencies who are keen to avoid their adverts appearing next to jihadi beheading videos.
Under the guise of “brand safety” they algorithmically blacklist mainstream right-of-centre media by bracketing them in with real hateful sites as a “brand risk”.

This is the week that the pocket edition mare, (aka Dave Hedgehog, or the lesser part of The Driscoll Brothers), starts to rake in hundreds of thousands of pounds to pay for his failures in The Londonistan People’s Palace.
Surely a non-job at the Beeb awaits him when he’s kicked out next time there’s a ‘vote’, or not, in the case of some of his beloved tin-pot boroughs, well-known for copying the US election systems for cheating…
I recommend looking at the Hoover Institute Goodfellows podcast from last week titled ‘Meat and Potatoes’ with Andrew McCarthy as the guest in which the panel discuss the effect of lawfare on US politics.
These four chaps, highly educated and non partisan , take it as proven that :
#Hilary Clinton ought to have been prosecuted in 2016,
#The Russia Hoax was run by the FBI and DoJ for three years to hobble Trump’s presidency .
#the DoJ is slow walking the Hunter Biden investigation to protect Joe
#that most of the indictments against Trump have no validity but they do think that he broke his oath of office on Jan 6 th but that it wasn’t a criminal offence.
The political corruption of the DoJ , the FBI and the MSM worries them . 2024 will be the third election in a row we’re the deep state has interfered in the democratic process. They think that the USA is heading for a major constitutional crisis .
But to my astonishment they aren’t sure that all of the above , although well proven , and recognised by a majority of Americans will swing the election in Trump’s favour!
They don’t mention election fixing but unless the American voters are either immensely stupid or happy to participate in a game of charades every four years , how else could Trump not win.
Double – thanks for the suggestion – but for me life is too short for long winded podcasts or those dire YouTube’s which take an age to get to the point .
If the characters you describe thing america is still a democracy or that the next election is already as fixed as the last one then they ain’t worth a spit .
President Trump will never be president again – the FBI or his secret service would kill him first . I bet the obituaries are already ‘good to go ‘….
If they can get him locked up it will be even easier to heart attack him …
As I say they will fix it one way or another and an assassination removes the problem permanently. But a hell of a lot of Americans will be certain that it was a political assassination and that the ‘duly’ elected president is illegitimate and therefore they are entirely justified in rebelling against the government. That is the constitutional crisis.
The USA and UK both have large sections of their populations who don’t believe the political class represents them and often operates against their best interests . Instability is in the air. The big difference between the US and UK are the guns. We can be bullied into submission , the American dissenters can’t be. Which of course is why they have the right to bear arms in the constitution.

If you go on the ULEZ website today – Monday – you see a ‘limited service ‘ announcement as they prepare to go live fleecing the motorist from Tuesday . Will mayor Khan go high profile Tuesday – touring the studios reminding everyone what vermin he is and what red labour now is ?
I reckon red labour HQ will instruct him to be low profile but he will ignore this to get his day in the sun . The bbc will be most supportive showing nice white kidult lefty London cyclists enjoying the instantly empty roads – clean air – and flying past the few cars stuck at a mad 20 mph limit ….
But surely cycling at more than 20 mph requires vast expenditure of energy and hence CO2 generation. Scientific studies , in my garage actually but as valid as anything from Imperial nonetheless, have shown that cycling five miles at 20 mph generates twice as much CO2 as doing so at 5 mph . The mayor would be well advised to enforce a speed limit of 5 mph on cyclists to achieve Net Zero.
It’s a fit, well-trained cyclist who can ride at an average of 20mph, or “evens” as it was usually known.
A journey by a leisure rider will probably average about 12mph.
Ahem! Trick Cyclist, Utility Cyclists please. We use our bikes every day for shopping and going places. The MAMILs (a.k.a. LycraLouts, a.k.a. No Bell prize winners) are the ‘leisure riders’ or weekend riders.

You know, I used to love Midsomer Murders. It was always a must see. Homicidal maniacs rampaging through these lovely, thatched villages, populated with extraordinary eccentrics. I don’t think I missed an episode. Not any more…
I lasted about 20 minutes into yesterday’s appalling episode. God’s teeth, it was awful. I mean, here we are, in the deepest and most English of communities and half the population are ethnics. You’re tripping over the bleeders. I thought I’d tuned into the high-lights of the Notting Hill Carnival by mistake. It was ludicrous.
One black character even came out with the line about a fellow villager, “Well, at least he’s not one of these bloody newcomers.”
The scripts are dire, the acting is so over the top it would be more suited to a pantomime than a TV drama. And the bloody cast would be better off in Porgy and Bess.
Midsomer used to be a cracking show. It was all handled with in a light and humorous touch, rather similar to the old Miss Marples. Now it’s just silly and irritating.

Re watching ‘I clavdivs’ is a real treat – now buried late on bbc4. Is really something – and there are documentaries on YouTube about the difference between stuff now – and the better stuff of then …

If you have a car which needs to pay the £12.50 ulez then why not identify itself as an electric car and therefore be exempt this payment.
If anyone disagrees with the car now identifying as an electric car then they should be arrested and charged with some kind of ‘ist or ‘ism.
If you can be arrested for misgendering, sorry, calling a man a man or lose your job if you think wimmin have knobs then a small change in your car’s designation is tiny in comparison. Cars are full of electrics anyway so it’s not such a big change and nowhere near the current gender deniers going against all history of life on Earth who say you can be whatever gender you want to be.
I suppose it will not really matter much because we will all be boiled off or vaporised soon enough (even though from Tuesday 4,000 Cockneys will now not drop dead in the streets of London every year)
At least with a Dictatorship as opposed to Democracy you know what the political classes want and you can get behind you leaders 100% or else you disappear.

BY RHODA WILSON ON JULY 29, 2023 • ( 22 COMMENTS )”
A classic example of why the Today show is so dire these days.
So often ‘interviews’ on Today are not about informing us but are designed to ‘get’ the Tory politician….it’s more hunt than exploration. It’s Gotcha territory where the ‘journalist’ is more intent on trying to create a ‘scandal’ to make themselves look good.
Mishal Husain interviewing Suella Braverman was just such an exercise in self-indulgent, self-promotional ego massaging by Husain. Constant interrruptions, aggressive approach and a barrage of questions, often repeated as Husain never listens to the answers, and the doubling back on narratives.
Husain insisted that making police do their job and having them investigate every crime will mean that they won’t have enough resources for ‘serious crime’ like rape and domestic abuse.
However….conversely Husain also said that removing the requirement for police to become social workers and hold the hands of mental health patients would mean the NHS and care services would have to take up the strain.
Hmmmm….so making police investigate all crimes would divert resources from other investigations but it’s OK for police to act as social workers and not do police work…such as investigate rapes and domestic abuse?
This illustrates how the BBC’s finest aren’t interested in informing us, the facts or a rational discussion…it’s all about point scoring and gotchas….the BBC’s approach is to be hostile to anything the government does and to make the government defend it as if their policy was de facto wrong.
It is a hunt not an exploration.
The Today format is intensely unhelpful in informing us….the short, sharp interview with hostile and aggressive questioning that never allows the subject to expand and explain is utterly frustrating and annoying.
The BBC tells us we no longer have the attention span to cope with long interviews…because of course this suits them…in a short interview they can drive the narrative pressurising the subject and constantly chop and change direction and bombard them with questions, often contradictory, in order to get them angry and frustrated….designed you might think to get them to get them angry and show them in a bad light….not designed to illuminate but to put on a show…it’s more Colosseum than Oxford Uni.
Contrast with the long, slow pace of a Joe Rogan interview in which you get a far, far more informative and intelligent way of interviewing…and just look at the views…..who gets more views…Rogan or Today? July to September Today had 6 million listeners in total and falling…Rogan has 11 million per episode.
Pug – I’ve given up on ‘today ‘ after decades . I won’t listen at all now – not even out of the duty I feel to witness the bias .
As you say – the former is designed not to inform – the artificial pressure of time – such as fixed point weather / sports – used to generate ‘intensity ‘ over the must mandate of subjects ….
.. I cannot figure why blue labour go on it . None of them stand their ground – none of them fight their corner – just limp messaging .
As for plod – their leadership is either dumb or incompetent or both – witness the outsourcing of Met identity cards to a leaking private company – just how dumb – I bet a lot of met plod are looking for payouts by the data breach – I’d be worried if them . Just dumb .
Theresa May should watch a Thatcher video …. then some Thomas Sowell ….

We know that the BBC’s reporting on Ulez is in fact nothing more than the London Mayor’s propaganda which is why the BBC are reporting that councils refusing to put up signs warning of the Ulez zones are bad, bad people….drivers could be fined!…or could they?
‘The RAC has raised concerns over the refusal by councils to install warning signs for the expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez).
The expansion, effective from Tuesday, imposes a daily charge of £12.50 on some vehicles entering London.
Six out of the seven councils neighbouring the capital have not signed an agreement with Transport for London (TfL) to install warnings signs.
Many roads into London will therefore lack notice and drivers could be fined.‘
What the BBC, and the RAC, fail to point out is that with no signs drivers cannot be fined….and even if signs are there they must comply with the law…as the Telegraph reports today…but not the BBC….you might think a highly relevant story linked to the above BBC one…but no…..
‘
Ulez signs ‘could be unlawful’ after tribunal ruling
Adjudicator agrees with motorist that Lez signs did not comply with laws stating that drivers must be warned if they will be charged’
‘London’s controversial Ultra Low Emissions Zone (Ulez) has faced a fresh setback after a ruling found signs for its sister scheme were unlawful.
Noel Willcox, from Hertfordshire, who runs a scaffolding company, was hit with £11,500 in fines under the existing Low Emissions Zone (Lez) for driving a truck to and from a depot in North West London.
However Mr Willcox refused to pay the fines and took his appeal to a tribunal arguing the signs did not comply with laws stating that motorists must be warned if they will be charged.
Graeme Wallington, the adjudicator, ruled that Mr Wilcox had argued correctly that the signs did not provide enough detail and therefore he did not need to pay the charge.
“I accept the Appellant’s submissions that if the signs are not authorised and do not provide adequate information of the charging scheme then no charge or penalty is payable,” the ruling said.’
Not something the Mayor wants known…and the BBC conveniently forgets to report the story.
I thought I’d treat myself to a dose of sky news because of personal interest in the air traffic problem – but then I got a live press briefing from some Spanish footy wimmin demanding this and that over some coked up bloke kissing a World Cup ? Winner ? On the lips –

A woman who slit the throat of a seven-year-old girl as she played in a park has lost an appeal against her sentence.
Emily Jones was killed in Queen’s Park, Bolton, on 22 March 2020.
Eltiona Skana, 31, who has paranoid schizophrenia, was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve a minimum of 10 years and eight months.
She challenged both the sentence and the minimum term but Court of Appeal judges rejected her appeal.
Skana admitted the manslaughter of Emily on the grounds of diminished responsibility. She had been put on trial for murder, which she was cleared of.
Her lawyers argued she should instead have been given a hospital order with restrictions, and said her minimum term was too long.

The air traffic computer down.
I’m hearing lots about this yet not one person so far has mentioned the possibility of some kind of cyber or hostile attack on the computer.
Happening on their busiest day of the year might not be a coincidence either.
Maybe it is a computer fault but in that case wouldn’t it be a case of replacing a faulty circuit board or panel.
If some virus or a hostile attack caused this then that would explain the long time to try and sort it out.
Still, it may be just a normal breakdown. Pity it looks like there’s no backup system. I wonder why not.
EG, a woman with ATC experience was on TWatO and she let slip that these failures happen every few weeks. In addition, the AT Controllers practice ‘going to manual’ for these incidents.
Fight Escalates Over Race-Based Hiring Program at the FAA

It may come as a shock to most Americans that the Obama administration dropped a skill- based system for selecting and hiring air traffic controllers (ATCs), and replaced it with a new system designed to favor applicants on the basis of their race.

TWatO Watch #1 – you do wonder at the brain capacity of these researchers …
… or whether they have a brain at all. They are obviously not using their brains. An Australian women, thankfully without a high pitched squeaky voice, led or did the research into the latest FEAR scare. Sorry cannot remember her name, may be on the BBC web-site, but this lass (or non-okker sheila) has been researching the supposed effect of (FX: dramatic chord from orchestra) ‘Ultra Processed Foods’. She said they were commonplace in the UK and USA. I would reply that is something of ‘the kettle calling the pot black’ because the Australian ties to the USA are very strong and that might include diet and foodstuffs.
This Australian woman has overlooked one key fact in her research: in the UK and possibly the USA also, life expectancy, Covid-19 Pandemic apart, has been getting ever longer. Ooops! A supplementary fact that this woman has overlooked is that what she would call a UPF is not necessarily harmful. Breakfast cereals are mentioned in this latest Fear Scare. This woman is obviously unable to read or has not read what a little panel on the carton says about its cereal contents. Ooooops all over again!
Finally does she know what the word Food means in the title Food and Drug Aministration of the USA and also what that organisation does for the inhabitants of the USA?
I also do wonder at the capabilities of the supervisors of this research.
“I also do wonder at the capabilities of the supervisors of this research.”
…
“He wrote to the scientific paper saying ‘take me off your fucking mailing list’ with a diagram. They wrote back saying your paper has been accepted.”
The Daily Mail is getting obsessed with articles about these Ultra Processed Foods. I am not sure how this all fits in with the WEF / Soros or even BBC agenda. Vegan foods tend to be the most processed of all with lots of salt, sugar to give the food taste and coconut oil (very trendy and very high in saturated fat or cholesterol, I forget which but not good for one). Then of course we are supposed to be eating insects which are also highly processed to make them palatable. I don’t think the BBC will run with the ultra processed foods thing as it doesn’t fit the agenda.
Beeboids just love Wokerose, Debs, they even did a whole article from some ‘doctor’ nutter about noshing insects! Christ, what a hideous thought!
(Note to self – avoid Wokerose unless it’s for the chicken wings which Senora O’Blene devours daily…)!
The BBC are also obsessed…report on Today this morning telling us how bad it is for us….never mind the cheap and plentiful food has made us bigger, stronger and longer lived…..they did admit that due to the cost of living crisis taking away this source of food might impact the poorest.
Their description of processed food was…made in a factory….thus bad.
Soooo…you’re meant to grow your own or buy fresh from a market and process it yourself.
Really it’s more to do with snobbishness and a belief that processed food somehow harms the environment than actual facts….but there’s nothing wrong with processed food….it’s cheap, tastes good, is quick to prepare and….it is nutritious….it also stops food waste…preservatives mean food lasts longer and isn’t thrown away and the factory processors utilise all the parts for one purpose or another….which you or I may not.
Take the evil Burger…which the BBC disdains and scorns for its ultra-processed, meaty badness.
What if I called it a ‘sandwich’…..pastrami, lettuce, cheese, mayo and bread…..what’s the difference except the burger is warm? The BBC would applaud the sandwich but not the burger…sheer snobbishness because McDonalds etc are fast food place catering to the heathen masses.
Another example of when ideology, ignorance and stupidity combine and is turned into ‘news’…and then, they hope ‘policy’.
Let the great unwashed eat cake.
“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office.”

Prosecutors open sexual assault investigation into Rubiales kiss
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-66632458
I see the BBC consider this kissing at the world cup to be of such huge significance, they are running daily articles and now a ‘live update’ feed on it.
I feel sorry for Rubiales : the video suggests there was nothing sleezy going on : he was just ecstatic with happiness.
Now he is suffering the full onslaught of the extreme misandrists and feminists who drive the #metoo movement. And I include the BBC in that group.
We’ve seen this a dozen times already : the BBC will not let this drop now until he is gone. Eventually he will be forced to resign by the non-stop pressure from the left.
#metoo haven’t had a chance to vent their hatred like this for a while now and they have descended on him like a medieval bloodthirsty mob. It’s quite disgusting to watch.
What I saw warranted him to be disciplined and warned not to do it again. Not for him and his family to be ruined.
Had Mr Rubiales kissed this woman in a room where there had only been the two of them, I could understand her anger. It was in a stadium with thousands of people and in front of a camera showing to millions. It is highly unlikely that Mr Rubiales was going to rape her. Thank goodness Prince William hadn’t gone to the match, if England had won and him doing the same, I am sure the Princess of Wales would have forgiven him, but the BBC, never. It would have been used to bring down the monarchy. (And I am not joking).
Absolutely Deborah : it’s all about intent.
I don’t think these people realise what damage they are doing to women’s football with this.
I read that his mother has entered a church and gone on hunger strike due to what she describes as this witch hunt.
Interesting to see if this footie girlie and the weak_kneed soccer bosses will be happy if she snuffs it and they get two birds with one stone.
The whole thing sums up the dire state that humanity has been dragged down to by these brainless and evil shrieking wokesters and their bowing servants who really just want to hang on to their fat salaries.
As for the footie girl, it is obvious that she has been swept along by the mob of female male-haters in women’s soccer and now cannot see that what really happened was a result of a highly charged moment with very, very little consequence. He gave the kiss in front of thousands of people not pinned down in a hotel room for f’s sake. Any normal human can read this scenario and not come to such a contorted and hate-filled conclusion.
This morning, a lovely sexy lady chum exclaimed that she was going to be 89 tomorrow, so she got a huge, sensuous hug and a huge peck right there in the middle of the road, right in front of our house (no traffic – the road was empty, as we don’t live anywhere near the shithole bothered by Dave Hedgehog in Londonistan).
Luckily, there is still a beautiful life to be found outside the dreadful places ruined by lefties…
Unfortunately women’s football has already become a vehicle for activists.
Who destroy everything they infect with their hate and their spite (yes I mean YOU BBC and Guardian).
Three cheers for Mr John Ralfe.
Who?
His letter to The Times was published last Saturday.
He points out that the pension entitlement for a hospital consultant is worth no less than £30,000 on top of their average earnings of £134,000. Their total remuneration is therefore £164,000. Not only that but the pension changes announced in the last budget (the abolition of the lifetime allowance of £1,073,000) was deliberately done to appease consultants who were retiring early to avoid a massive pension tax demand. Their employee pensions are of course fully inflation protected even up to the dizzy 10% inflation heights of recent months. Are yours? No, I thought not.
The point being that the BBC absolutely always fail to mention this sort of thing when covering public sector pay demands.
Beeboids are on the same sort of deal, Sluff!
They can spout their drivel for a few years, then bugger off to the Canaries on a fat pension and never worry about anything!
Luckily, we avoid those chavvy places so wouldn’t recognise any of them anway…
Reference today’s project fear story, strongly featured by the statist, Orwellian BBC, that ‘ultra-processed food’ (clear definition not provided) leads to cardiovascular serious disease increase of (I think) 22 or 39% depending on the study.
Let’s take that at face value.
22 or 39% increase of what?
If the increase takes us from say 50% to let’s say 70% that’s rather different from an increase from say 1% to 1.4%. In the latter case, I’ll take the risk and keep eating (and thoroughly enjoying) the bacon butties.
Do the BBC ‘inform and educate us’? No, they just play the scare story to try and keep the population doing what it’s told is good for it, and taking cheap pot shots at private, non taxpayer funded, businesses along the way.
