Midweek 27th September 2023

A leading BBC presenter thinks the reason the flagship ‘today ‘ programme has lost huge numbers of listeners is that they are ‘news deniers’ . It seems he has a fairly low opinion of listeners . Like so many in the BBC – he is right – the audience is wrong . far Left Group Think Rules … but the audience goes away …

    Scottish Nationalists are doing faux outrage putting up small pics of a poster that makes the right side unreadble.
    They say a government poster says Dennis The Menace cartoons are created in London

    Here’s the bit they cut out
    It cleary says it’s talking about the bloke from Beano Studios who make CGI Beano cartoons at their base on Fleet St

    Sad news – one of my favourite MPs – Alok Sharma – has announced he is to stand down at the next election ( before the voters his green crap have caused to suffer ) throw him down the toilet .
    No doubt he has a glorious green crap job lined up fully owned by the Soros WEF …. What a vile character

      Aloe Sharma is one worth watching to see what he does post election. It would be no surprise if he went to work for the Bill and Melinda Show, the WEF, WHO or The Open Society.

      I still cannot believe the havoc created by Theresa May between resigning and actually standing down. Yes she has had some highly paid speaking engagements, but not fabulously so. Whatever the reason for her duplicitous behaviour, it isn’t yet apparent. One day things will become crystal clear.

    but then Simpson realised his campaigning tweet against Trump broke BBC impartiality rules by a mile. So he then deleted it.

      Stew – I’m actually shocked that comrade Simpson should be so blatant – perhaps he was tired and emotional after the second bottle of red .
      I’m sure OFCOM will set up an inquiry – after all – he is top Jonnie in the BBC so if that is his view -how many others share it ( 100%).

      As for President Trump – the latest finding by a New York democrat judge is that he is guilty of slaughtering the first born – sorry – fraud .
      It’s strange that the Obama democrats can’t see that throwing the corrupt ussr style legsl system at president Obama does nothing but bolster support for him .

    A tiny minority of British people made a fortune out of owning slaves, but not in this country, where there were virtually no black people free, or enslaved until the 1950s, and not 99.999%+ of the British population, certainly no ancestor of mine (or, for a start, I’d be a lot richer).

    In fact, a great many people in this country were opposed to slavery, which is why the British government eventually took it upon themselves to end the African slave trade – at great cost to the people of this country.

    Therefore, logically, if those descended from slave owners owe the descendants of slaves financial reparation, then, by the same token surely those descendants of freed slaves also owe us?

    Quite honestly, even some kind of ‘thanks’ would be appreciated.

    Clive of India was not a particularly ‘bad’ man, he has just received a bad (and very biased) press, starting in his own time (which is why he commit suicide). He was never a racist, and was not hated by the Indians of his day – quite the opposite in fact. The worst accusation against him, of causing a famine in Bengal, has been proven to be false, time and again.

    Like many others the woke hate, their hatred iof Clive s based on ignorance, and blind acceptance of criticism, without any thought about context, time period, bias, propaganda, or whether there was any real basis to such criticism.

    Frankly, I suspect they only hate Clive because William Dalyrample called him a ‘sociopath’, but without, as Dalyrample himself has pointed out, considering the context in which he described Clive in that way, namely, regarding his total lack of concern for personal safety and tendency to recklessly plunge into battle without a second thought.

    I deny watching BBC News because I have a very low opinion of BBC journalists. Both political and scientific truth is censored by the BBC and replaced by TNI propaganda.

    Christians regard modern day slavery as bad, but forgive those who gave it up or those who have died. The BBC ignores modern day slavery and is only interested in punishing dead slave owners before the first British Empire ended with the abolition of slavery and the loss of America. The loss of America lead to the founding of Australia. The abolition of slavery meant that white criminals not black slaves were used to people Australia. The second British Empire was based on the Industrial revolution and the exploitation of the white working classes in Britain leading to the chartist movement and parliamentary democracy. The British Empire expanded because we wanted to stop and protect people from other European countries who still supported slavery. The British Empire reached its peak after the first world war when it freed people from Ottoman slavery and annexed German colonial territories. White Europeans, Jews and Orientals are about 15% more intelligent than Blacks because they left Africa and evolved higher intelligence due to moving to a colder environment. Higher intelligence by the rewiring of the Brain generates more heat in the head which means that in Africa high IQ men are only able to be active at night, while in Europe and Asia, a higher IQ lead to development from hunting to domesticated animals and gathering to agriculture, leading to markets in towns and to organised civilisation. Today His Majesty King Charles III rules over 10,335,478 square miles of what is called the Royal Commonwealth. What was once called the British Empire. The “British Empire” changing to “British Commonwealth” and then the “British Commonwealth” changing to “Royal Commonwealth”. The King rules over fifteen separate independent sovereign realms. Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A Global total which includes British, Australian and New Zealand overseas territories, of exactly 99 territories on which “the sun never sets”. Used to describe the British Empire, and still true today. The sun is always shining on at least one of His Majesties Commonwealth Realms. Also, 31 versions of the Union Jack Flag fly over these imperial territories, as well as Fiji and Hawaii.

    So in effect as Mark Steyn has said. The British Empire still effectively exists in the form of a King who rules over more territory than anyone else in the 21st Century other than the Queen who also ruled over Barbados.

    Bills crisis: ‘I’m paying for basics on a credit card’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66879319

    BBC Ace ‘Kevin Peachey’ picks one citizen to focus on and lay on the usual empathy in describing this poor souls plight thus garnering sympathy for him and all like him.

    “Every day I have to look at the energy meter,” the Londoner added. “I have to use a credit card, but I never used a credit card before to top up my gas and electric.

    “That’s so I can afford to buy the food we need, and – with the credit card – I know I have [time] to try to pay it off without being charged. That’s how hard it is.”

    Before I reveal who this poor soul is, imagine a dice with 30 faces to it. If you roll that dice, how often do you think it will come up with the same number ?.

    Every time at the BBC. ‘1 in 30’ chance strikes again. Here he is, Chidi Uwakwe:

    _131256521_whatsubject.jpg.webp

    I have no problem with Chidi himself of course, it’s the racist discrimination by the BBC which is the constant issue here.

      Forgetting the token race thing – the phenomenon of living via credit card seems to be rapidly growing – the excellent Wolf of Wall Street on YouTube described the level in the US – where the economy is not yet as stressed as it is here in UK .

      But as usual the BBC provides a ‘human ‘ version as opposed to – say – year on year graphs – numbers .

      I’m deeply pessimistic about the UK economy – as interest rates increase cash is being sucked out of the economy and more and more mortgage stress is being caused – with this likely to continue into 2025/6 – 2024 is already written off because inflation is ‘embedded’ .

      Added to that is increasing oil costs – which is like a tax and interest rate rise in itself .

      Personally I’ve been selling investments because I see things as very very rocky . I’m no expert – but I am a born bear pessimist ….

      … and the remedy ? Pain . Recession . Cuts in public expenditure and the inevitable increase in taxes – whatever muppet is in charge . Forget the ‘triple lock’ – higher retirement age ( again) deceptive increases in income tax – eg NI contributions – and those ‘hard decisions ‘… Blighty is failing …

      Sorry for the bleakness . Look after number 1 .

        The pension increase back in April was swallowed up by utility rates, petrol outrage and supermarkets cashing in with unnecessary rising prices, by about the end of June.

        No doubt Sunak knew all this was going to happen, and so did Hunt, so they blare out the ‘help’ they’re offering us, then geffectively get it back within weeks.

        The same will happen next year, and probably thereafter, especially when Red Labour are back in for the next 13 years!

            Fed, When you took over running the site, there was a strict unwritten rule that posts should at least refer to the obvious left wing, anti-government bias of the Beebonic Plague, and diversion from the ethic of our site was discouraged!

            But surely, the numbers of chums here validate a much wider disgust at the Beebolics and similar trades in ‘broadcasting’, which are getting pretty dire nowadays!

            Actually, I can’t keep up with Guido any more, other than an odd comment, and when I started listening to people far better qualified to comment than me, with early blogs like Iain Dale etc., back in the early noughties, the times were different!

              You’ve notice I’ve adopted a more ‘relaxed ‘ attitude to subject content as well as language .. part of the reason for this is because the span of the BBC is so wide as to infect all aspects of life – attempting to re mould it to the approved dumb kidult group think – led by old men such as Simpson ( see above ) …

              .. my main frustration is that there is no one who actually defends the bbc or its’ funding . But maybe there is no defence . I can’t see one ….
              …. I wonder what a future ‘archive ‘ of BBC might look like – in essence output has been so dire in the last 10 20 years that there won’t be anything of value …

                John Reith, the father of the BBC, had a very important maxim: “educate, inform, and entertain”. It is still a main part of the BBC’s mission statement today. It is something that, on average, the BBC has done better and more consistently than any other organisation.

                If the BBC is causing mental anguish by producing News that contradicts reality then should it extinguish itself or at least give people the choice of paying the BBC rather than forcing them to pay a BBC TV TAX under Government protection and threat of prosecution (est. 180,000 in 2017)?

                Maybe you can do a BBC programme on it?

    “ My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up.

    Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who refused to get vaccinated!

    We would not have done so. I would rather go to prison than fire good people who didn’t want to be jabbed.

    As for myself, I got original Covid before the vaccine was out (mild cold symptoms) and had to get three vaccines for travel. The third shot almost sent me to hospital.

    How many other people out there have symptoms that are actually from the vaccine or Covid treatment, rather than Covid itself?

    As for those who didn’t take any vaccine, well @DjokerNole just won a record number of grand slams …

    It’s not like I don’t believe in vaccines – I do. However, the cure cannot be potentially worse than the disease. And public debate over efficacy should not be shut down.

    There is also great potential for curing many diseases using synthetic mRNA, so let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.”

    Seems a well articulated personal viewpoint based on experience in face of farcical black vs. White propaganda and censorship by immature ill informed ideological droid teens from the establishment.

    Anton Chekhov, Russian playwright, wrote “If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off” – this notion has become a narrative principle in theatre and in general within authorship; an example of dramatic foreshadowing that tends to hold true to this day.

    Despite: Hollywood writers agree to end five-month strike after studio deal (BBC) – I jest, of course.

    Does the concept known as Chekhov’s Gun hold true in the arena of modern media news reports, we wonder?

    We’re sophisticated enough to realise that bold screamer headline promises don’t always deliver substance when we delve deeper down into the small print of the column inches. Our jaded news watcher eye takes that as read.

    Anyhoo, let’s read on and perhaps spot one or two of those Chekhov’s Gun MacGuffins that are flagged up for us in the headlines but that may or may not proceed to smoke later in the story – if we haven’t overloaded the metaphors there.

    EU in Moderna jabs talks – foreshadows the FT in their lesser headlines news Briefing roundup: Brussels has begun negotiating a new Covid-19 vaccine deal with the US drugmaker as health authorities in the bloc become concerned about rising infections.

    Richest set for £1mn win if inheritance tax abolished – the FT may well publish all their detailed daily market data of which a studious perusal might, perhaps, bag the market trading reader a fortune – with which to utilise the pink paper’s long running weekend How To Spend It feature – but that headline appears to campaign against such capitalistic incentive being passed on to one’s children – funny that: The richest 1 per cent of estates would be handed a £1mn tax cut on average, if ministers abolish inheritance tax – do we spy a socialist cuckoo in the nest over there at the FT?

    Micheal Wolff, American journalist and regular contributer of internationalist-minded articles in the FT, pops up as the interviewee in the left-leaning Guardian this morning – well there’s a thing.

    Speaking of spies: Former Wirecard executive Marselek named as connection in alleged Russian spying ring (FT) – this story confuses Mr AsI. One certainly recognises the modern legalistic obsession with lawfare over warfare, but (spoiler alert) doesn’t ever recall John le Carré’s ace molecatcher George Smiley at the conclusion of a spy drama dumping the evil KGB hood Karla’s operatives in the dock to face justice at the Old Bailey before m’Lud. Surely after detection, capture and interrogation one’s secret service either turns, swaps for our own compromised spies, or simply rubs out one’s enemy operatives?

    The High Life was a mid-1990s BBC sitcom written by and starring Forbes Masson and Alan Cumming as Steve McCracken and Sebastian Flight*, two camp Scottish air stewards on the Prestwick-Heathrow shuttle route. Check it out, it was a rather amusing little show.

    [* a conscious nod to Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited]

    Sacked in Disgrace… Very high flier… First Officer Mike Beaton… BA pilot snorts coke off topless woman.. then tries to fly plane… A British Airways pilot snorted coke off a woman’s bare breasts before trying to fly a packed jet to the UK. Married Mike Beaton… boasted of his drug and drink orgy to a stweardess friend, admitting “I’ve been a very naughty boy.” The appalled pal reported him to bosses who cancelled last month’s flight from Johannesburg… (The Sun)

    What a Karen. I jest of course. I’m imagining her as Alan Cumming’s nemesis in The High Life, chief stewardess Ms Shona Spurtle, as brilliantly played by Siobhan Redmond. Memorably nicknamed by Cumming’s Sebastian Flight as Hilter in Tights.

    IMDb gifts us some knockabout pantoesque dialogue from the show with an espionage twist:

    Sebastian : Hello Ms Spurtle, how’s your arse for love bites?
    Shona : Fine thankye, how’s ye ear for dermatitis?

    Shona : Can I be blunt?
    Sebastian : If I can be Philby…
    Steve McCracken : And I can be Burgess.

    British Culture ‘could disappear without curbs on immigration’ (Telegraph) – what British culture, I hear Remainer-minded internationalist open border pro-immigration lefty-leaning fans shout out loud?

    Put that so-called ‘British culture’ within the scare quotes in that headline, you little Englander Torygraph!

    Afterall, black people were here all along. Haven’t you heard of Henry VIII’s trumpeter? Dark skinned people built Stone Henge. Probably the big stones weren’t available in Africa so they migrated over here from somewhere near…. err, Johannesburg…? just to get their rocks off, so to speak.

    There aren’t many things that bring a smile to my wrinkled old mush these days, but I actually broke into a croaky chuckle yesterday when I heard the news.

    Justine Truffles parliament giving a standing ovation to a former member of the Nazi Party and the sadistic Waffen-SS. You really couldn’t make this up…It’s too delicious…

    You’d have thought that the penny might have dropped when this 98 year old!! was presented to them and they were told he fought against the Russians. I mean, FFS. Did they really think this ancient chap was manning the barricades in the last few weeks? Jesus H Christ, how thick are they?

    You see, the truth is, virtue signalling means that you blindly conform to what other people are doing. Don’t ask any awkward questions, just follow the script. Look at me, I’m wearing a rainbow T-shirt. I’m concerned about the environment. I’m saving the planet. Like fxxx you are…

    And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke than the snidey, sanctimonious, devious, nasty piece of work, than the authoritarian and vindictive Trudeau. Not just “black-face”…now he’s got egg on his face. Good.

    I suppose, if we were being really cynical we could ask another question.

    Was the standing ovation for the SS man actually a mistake…

    A second thought. Look at the inequality in Roman society. The senators, the emperors, the villa owners, their staff, the servants, the gladiators, the slaves.
    Not unlike ancient Egypt.

    How strange that unequal societies seem to reach great heights.
    And then thousands of years later, ordinary people go in their millions to see the results, in Rome, Pompeii, Luxor, Aswan, Cairo.

    Societies driven by equality have no incentive to make progress. So they don’t.

      1) At time of writing 9 of the 13 members of the Ofcom Content Board responsible for
      overseeing the BBC’s impartiality are ex-BBC employees, [A]. This is untenable. The
      arrangement is comparable to the hypothetical scenario of suing someone for libel only to
      arrive at the court to find that most of the members of the jury are ex-employees of the
      accused. This would never happen, for good and obvious reasons. In my opinion those
      charged with judging the BBC’s impartiality should be people with no previous employment
      at the BBC, and their judgments should not be subject to review by ex-BBC employees
      anywhere in the Ofcom management chain.
      2) The Ofcom employees charged with judging the BBC’s impartiality should not be based in
      London. Arguably BBC News has to be in London so as to be close to
      Westminster. However, as we saw in the EU referendum, the politics of London are very
      different from those of most of the rest of the country

      Croydon is my old “stomping ground.” At one time, early 70s to early to mid 80’s I spent most Saturday nights there. You felt as safe as houses.

      My parents and gran used the old cobbled market, the huge shopping centres, including a massive Allders, that seemed to sell everything. Croydon had everything the west end had, but it was on our doorstep and it was much cheaper. There was never any trouble.

      I had a wander through a couple of months ago. Honestly, I felt like I was in a foreign country and that I was slumming. Beggars, some quite in your face, were on most corners, there was masses of litter, derelict buildings, the whole place seemed to be in a depressing spiral of decline.

      I honestly wouldn’t want to be wandering through there late at night.

      A post on Instagram claims that Stanley Johnson, father of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wrote a novel called ‘The Virus’ in 1982 and includes a synopsis of the book. This is correct.

      The book was initially published in 1982, and was republished this summer during the coronavirus pandemic.

      The novel was originally titled ‘The Marburg Virus’, and loosely draws on a real outbreak of a virus in Marburg, Germany, in 1967. The outbreak was associated with laboratory work using African green monkeys imported from Uganda. In Mr Johnson’s novel, this virus reaches New York.

      https://fullfact.org/online/stanley-johnson-the-virus-book/

      …..

      Marburg virus disease is a highly virulent disease that causes haemorrhagic fever, with a fatality ratio of up to 88%. It is in the same family as the virus that causes Ebola virus disease. Two large outbreaks that occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967, led to the initial recognition of the disease. The outbreak was associated with laboratory work using African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) imported from Uganda. Subsequently, outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, South Africa (in a person with recent travel history to Zimbabwe) and Uganda. In 2008, two independent cases were reported in travellers who visited a cave inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies in Uganda.

      Human infection with Marburg virus disease initially results from prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies. Once an individual is infected with the virus, Marburg can spread through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.

    Not BBC but the Guardian — a suitably harrowing image to illustrate “a half-century of upheaval” in Europe. She looks like she’s just heard Lawrence Fox’s comment. I hope everyone can now see the abuse women suffer from right wing forest fires.

    The upheaval is of course carefully curated to reflect the Guardian editorial team’s anguish, rather than the interests of the wider population. For example, when one thinks of significant terrorist incidents from the last quarter of a century, who can forget 2006’s shooting of the Malian nanny Oulematou Niangadou by a rightwing student in Antwerp? I think some other stuff also happened in Manchester, London, Berlin, Nice and Paris over the last 25 years but who cares about that (not the Guardian).

    No doubt the MSM — that spent two years smearing every medic and scientist who raised the alarm about NIH-funded gain of function research as well as evidence of a non-natural origin to the C19 virus — will be apologising and publishing this new information.

          While immensely frustrating and completely wrong, these decisions offer a stunning contrast with other areas of Britain’s immigration policy.”

      The Deliveroo/Just Eat drivers are mostly illegals. There is a flourishing black market for people registering with legitimate details, and then “renting out” their login details on phone apps for between £60-£100+ per week.
      Doubt many on mopeds or electric bikes are worried about insurance. If the old bill stopped them, they would just drive off.

          So all these people who have been driving around on pavements at 30mph on electric scooters and going through red traffic lights with their lunch boxes on the back and unable to speak a single word of English you mean Sunday Times that they are ILLEGAL?

          I am shocked and stunned. I never would have guessed this.

    Lunchbreak!

    And the surf so far makes one wonder what Khan is putting in the London politico-media drinking water.

    No matter the hue, every single person from these sub zones of society appears utterly deranged, and trying to claw to the top of their particularly unpleasant adolescent girl gang.

    Trouble is those of the right appear not to grasp how the game is played from their side, and those of the left know exactly how it is rigged on theirs.

    I have no time to meddle with cuts and pastes so this will mostly be for those who, like me, taint themselves with Twitter to stay abreast of what the gutter dwellers are concocting. A sad litany of Martian low lifes at ‘work’, rest and play.

    Let us frame things as I did above using the ever odious Vile’s phrasing…

    Croydon: Girl, 15, killed in south London stabbing
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66935446

    So for weeks and weeks now, the Londinistan stabbings and trials etc have been sent straight to ‘regions’ (and sometimes not even to ‘London Violence’ presumably to hide it from anyone who looks for it).

    Now this one of a girl is a front page headline and it’s way, way, way out of proportion with the short ‘basic facts only’ stories we get when 15 year old boys stab each other.

    Here’s another stabbing from 3 days ago:
    Petts Wood murder: Man, 19, fatally stabbed in heart in Jubilee Country Park
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66901058

    It gets 179 words compared to 821 for this girl.

    Which always means it’s got something to do with a BBC agenda. No doubt they will move on to that once they’ve squeezed as much empathy from it as they can first to make us agree with whatever they demand next.

    What are the odds on this boy being white after the many stabbings by black boys have been brushed under the carpet by the BBC ?. I would not be surprised in the slightest given how racist they are now.

    The point this proves is that the BBC don’t care one bit how many young people are stabbed to death. They only care if they can use it for their agenda. Which means all the empathy is fake.

    That makes them proper low-life scum in my book.

      Black boys who stab each other don’t matter according to the bBC. They never ever get their panties in a bunch about black boys killing each other.

      At least she died in cleaner air ….

      … I keep a tab on londonistan killings – I don’t mention them here much – this was unusual in that it was some sort of ‘romance ‘ thing plus killer knife plus bus plus 0830 at the start of school as opposed to the traditional 1600 murders …

      .. because of their ages we won’t know what happened – or who did it …. Can we go back to dangerous dogs or Russell or plod not carrying or suella or Hs2 …. Or maybe not …

    On talk tv they have a banner saying ‘Hate channel on rocks’

    They mean GB News. Isn’t that libellous or something?
    What have Narinder, Benjamin, Amy, Crick, Nelson and the rest been saying just lately to become hate figures.

    They are criticising Fox for saying he wouldn’t shag (somebody I’ve never heard of) on Dan wooton’s show last night.
    Of course, all the virtue signallers are out being offended on her behalf.

    I didn’t see this interview. What was it that made Fox say that?
    What did she do or say. Did he just say that out of the blue or did she start the name calling?

    Maybe he should have called her Scum because that’s alright to say as our Angie didn’t get cancelled, sacked or piled on by the virtue signallers.

    He (Collins) has just been agreeing with a caller who thinks the Japanese should take in more immigrants. Japan is 97% Japanese.
    They could do with some enrichment.
    Lots of grooming gangs for the little girls in Hiroshima.
    Drug wars and machete killings in Tokyo.
    Ghettos and areas being taken over becoming no go for the Jap locals.
    So much for them to look forward to.

      I don’t watch it that often, but the only outstanding of hate I’ve seen on there was Benjamin Butterbum who basically screwed his little fat face up while accusing everybody else of being racists every time they disagreed with him.

      Emmanuel Goldstein, you don’t know the situation in Japan
      It is so different from here it’s incomparable
      As regard sex crime, it can be terrible
      There traditionally has been a very low prosecution rate, cos the police refuse to take complaints seriously.
      As regards other crime. its OK until the Yakusa world touches you, then terrible.
