We’d been watching, ‘When the green woods laugh’, from the original ‘Darling buds of May’ series with proper actors doing what H.E.Bates would have wanted, (not the ridiculous BBC re-make for ‘diversity’ and ‘enrichment’ using ‘actors’ nobody had ever heard of, and were’nt likely to), and had enjoyed a great laugh, so there was a lull at the end, tinctures needed refilling, and the clock said ‘after 9.00pm’!

The BBC usuals defended Russel Brand when he was one of them , a lefty , at the Andrew Sachs affair .
Now he’s not in their tribe so they want him deplatformed .
The other Brand ; Jo , is still in with them . She can advocate throwing acid at those the BBC don’t like and they don’t want her deplatformed .
How about a debate between the two , Battle of the Brands .
More likely on GB News than the BBC ( which I think should be deplatformed ) .
Nibor, “How about a debate between the two , Battle of the Brands.” ah but, yes but, no but what is the product? It would be an advertisng executive’s dream to have that Battle of the Brands.
I know some of you who post here are less keen on GBNews than I am. I didn’t see Lawrence Fox on Dan Wooten. But I fail to understand why it is so terrible for someone to say they didn’t want to have sex with someone. Would it have been better if he had said that he did want to sleep with her? Either way I don’t think it is worse than Jo Brand encouraging someone to throw battery acid over Nigel F.
But I was upset that GBNews seemed to be imploding. I have virtually completely stopped watching the BBC and I do like to watch a little to in the evening and Dan Wooten talking about the idiots in Monticeto fitted the bill.
On a Saturday evening, Calvin’s programme produced really high level discussion with people like Emma Webb and Steven Pound. I hope he gets reinstated.
Meanwhile, I have even avoided this site for the last couple of days because I felt so sad that excellent tv (and sometimes not so excellent but still stuff that was interesting) was being destroyed that I couldn’t face even discussion about it.
I have written to GBNews telling them I want Dan back. I don’t want them destroyed by the Left.

In 2009 BBC finally ruled on 2 Frankie Boyle jokes a year earlier
A “bad taste” joke made by comedian Frankie Boyle on Mock The Week about the Queen did not breach editorial guidelines, the BBC Trust found today.
The Trust’s Editorial Standards Committee (ESC) found that, while the joke had sexist and ageist overtones, it did not fall foul of the rules
The committee found that, although it was in poor taste, the gag would not have gone beyond audience expectations
Rebecca Adlington
In a show broadcast in August 2008, Boyle said Adlington looks “like someone who’s looking at themselves in the back of a spoon”.
He also made sexual innuendo, saying Adlington’s boyfriend looked like a male model and continuing: “So from that I have deduced that Rebecca Adlington is very dirty – I mean if you just take into account how long she can hold her breath…”
As it was a year on
… they took no physical action against Boyle
They just said he’d moved on, so they couldn’t sack him from Mock the week
GB News is an excellent alternative voice in the cacophony of sameness that is British broadcasting.
The liberal elite (BBC types) want it silenced at all costs, but it’s crucial that it survives and flourishes.
Of course this latest ‘furore’ is just another pretext to shut it down.
Fox’s ‘crime’ was trivial, and Wootton’s even more so. He barely chuckled at Fox’s rant – big deal!
Hang on, I’ve missed something, what’s happened to Calvin?
I’m usually out at the time so I always record the Neil Oliver show and enjoy his monologue, though sometimes his guests get up my bugle…particularly that gobby Arab bint that so loves the sound of her own voice.
Yes Sluff- I wrote to ” Newswatch” last night asking them
what this headline was doing on the BRITISH broadcasting
corporations main internet page. Also asking them why
the hacking to death of a 15 year old girl on a bus when
she was going to school in LONDON which I believe
is in England , has seemed to disappear on the BBC website.
Or is the BRITISH part of the corporations name, Just an
oxymoron.
A girl is knifed to death on the bus to school in diverse, vibrant, multicultural Croydon.
The BBC of course totally fail to mention the diverse context.
A boy aged 17 has been charged with murder.
A boy.
Un-named because he is young and so has his anonymity protected.
Which is rather odd. Because Labour, the LibDems and SNP want such a person to have a vote !!!!!!! FFS.
Dishi Rishi wants an end to the War on the Motorist.
Where have the Tories been for the last 10 years? Declaring War on the Motorist almost as much as Labour and the Eco-loons.
Perhaps Sunak should take a look at the M53 today. A school bus overturned. Two people died.
But how many thousands of motorists had their lives trashed? Where was the effort to open up at least the unaffected carriageway? Where was the effort to turn round the traffic stranded behind the overturned bus? How many hours did the police spend with their clipboards measuring all kinds of distances? And how often is this multi-hour road closure the norm after any motorway accident ?
No. The war on the Motorist will continue. It runs very very deep throughout the public sector, and most local Tory councillors have not the guts to stand up to those in real power- especially the unelected council traffic officials who spend their working lives dreaming up the anti-car schemes and burying the detail in hundred page reports no-one has the time or inclination to read…and so they go through on the mod.
That, dear readers ( and Rishi), is how it actually works.
According to newspaper media the Bus driver Stephen Shrimpton ‘suffered medical issue behind the wheel’ before horror smash on M53.
What issues ?
Why do they always hide half the facts.
It the ‘authorities’ and MSM won’t tell us, then I’ll be forced to assume its the latest clot shot💉 complications!
Sluff – round here the M5 is often closed for hours to allow the police to carry out their investigations to the nearest centimetre. Sod the thousands of people who it affects. There should be a time limit on these things. ‘Thank you for your patience’ my arse.

I think the outgoing blue labour regime has got collective mental issues . Two themes – the highest tax levels since the war and – indeed – the war on motorists .
The blue labour ‘conference ‘ is going to announce the end of the ‘war against motorists ‘ and no more tax rises . Both claims will be lies – whatever regime gets in next time .
And the blue Labour Party is the very outfit waging war against both tax payers and motorists aka people in cars .
So the mental issue I mentioned above is dementia . Sunak hunt and co have no recollection of the harm they have been doing but maybe are finally realising they are about to be thrown out . Neither of those mentioned – indeed the whole crap cabinet – will be personally financially affected – but the desire for power and cudos will be their big loss .
Then it’s red labour to finish the self destruction completely – shouldn’t be difficult after what the current shower have done …
BTW – how is the ‘today ‘ programme? – been avoiding it …
Your RIght Right – the blue Labour Party seem oblivious to the effects / techniques of the Far Left BBC – it’s as though they are not interested in the anti British poison the kidults vomit out all the time ( aka 24/7) …. They could have fixed it – instead they’ve moved ever further Left ….

Mischal Hussein (we call her Useless Hussein) was interviewing a Kenilworth MP about HS2.
‘But surely even if they cancel the project beyond Birmingham you will benefit from quicker journeys to Birmingham and London’ said Hussein in terms?
Errrr, no. You thicko. Kenilworth will not have an HS2 station. Kenilworth residents would have to travel IN to Birmingham first in order to get HS2 to London, adding so much extra time that no-one will do it.
A telling example of the ignorance of the BBC presenters living in their lefty ivory towers well away from the rest of us.
“IT WAS in June 2019 that the UK became the first major economy to pass a law which required all greenhouse gas emissions to be brought to zero by 2050. This was nodded through Parliament without debate, and there was no price tag attached.
It was something to be celebrated, apparently. Chris Skidmore, then the Energy and Clean Growth Minister, said proudly: ‘Today we’re leading the world yet again . . . pioneering the way for other countries to follow in our footsteps.’ The ‘race’ had begun.”
Yes, that’s the puzzling part. Rich Sunaks attempt to row back from some things green with cars/petrol etc? That legislation is enshrined in law thanks to Treason May & Boris the liar. Sunak cannot amend that legislation without further legislation. Without looking into it, and at face value, its just Sunaks word which, for me, will not be relied upon. He’s caught the ‘Boris’ lying bug.
Doesn’t all this epitomise the false words that politicians spout on every occasion when anyone bothers to listen?
The net-zero cobblers, global boiling, ‘lessons to be learnt’, etc., all come down to the yapping of a vacuous bunch of pompous freeloaders,, scrabbling for money and ‘kudos’, and planning to leave Parliament when they’ve made enough contacts to gain even more dosh!
I don’t believe a work Sunak has said, but there again, I don’t believe anything any MP spouts these days, as they’ll be proved wrong, and then try and wriggle out of their blame as the norm!
Funnily enough, these are the same sentiments I feel about the BBC!
Hate to say it but, I’m beginning to hope there’s a exceptionally cold winter for a long spell in the UK. That’ll sort out the ‘Net Zero’ bunch of zealots and Government, not to mention the ‘Global Warming’ drive from the Met Office.
There’s an awful lot of manufactured outrage at Laurence Fox’s remarks about some poisonous feminist the other evening. Blimey, you’d think he’d suggested homicide. He only said he wouldn’t sh@g her. Big deal…
Bunter Boulton was immediately out of the traps, wanting GB News closed down…as were a number of other vested interests. In the words of John McEnroe, “You cannot be serious”.
Blimey, Channel 4, has inflicted endless dross on the British public, including the man they’re now accusing of rape, but carries on, unchallenged.
The BBC, knowing full well that Jimmy Savile was a nonce, gave him his own teatime show, where little girls came and sat on his lap. No problem there…
And they don’t like us to mention the excruciating Huw Edwards debacle…because the poor chap is having breakdown. He just gets sympathy.
Even the repulsive Piers Morgan felt he had to get in on the act and said he found Laurence Fox “Obnoxious.”
Does that reptilian creature have no sense of irony?

Watching Mr Trudeau, people in the rest of the world may wonder why Canadians keep voting for this simpering ninny. I think I can guess. As anyone who has visited Canada will know, Canadians are the nicest, kindest and politest people on earth. So they probably can’t bear to vote him out, in case it hurts his feelings.
There’s more video footage – personally, I’d like the nasty old git to endure devastating personal humiliation. I might’ve had some sympathy if he weren’t POTUS – but in truth he never should’ve run – that was crystal clear before the 2020 election.

Re GBnews Fox : Lefties weaponise taking offence, for political gain
People often say hatey things on TV ..sometimes very similar to what Fox’s words
When I say narratives are pushed and the hypocrisy is out of control. This is what I mean. Piers Morgan had that awful woman on his show yet laughs when his guest said “would you shag it?” No outrage
Sometimes I try to think ‘deeply ‘ – to see if there is something over arching going …. I’m wondering if those injections are having so effect on group behaviour . Have tempers been shortened ? Are people more anxious ? There seems a lot less joy and a lot more fear about ..
You might think ‘fed up is off on one ‘ . Maybe it’s me and my observation of human behaviour has become too sensitive .
Are there columnists coming out with this sort of thing ? I don’t know . You might respond by saying ‘people have always been like this ‘ ..but I’m not so sure ….
The regulatory and “industry” reticence over examining the claims of unintended consequences is absolutely there for all to see. (plus some “attack defence”)
Very obviously imho people are reacting to a ginormous breach of trust in terms of due safety diligence – if that doesn’t trigger apprehension then what will? People who’ve been lied to and cheated seem to me to fall into two groups – the folk who won’t face up to mistakes – and the righteously angry…

………………………………
From a Theresa May speech …
As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’
It is still slightly shocking for me when I read some of the kidult articles written by BBC staff about important topics.
This is little to do with the shutdown and more about attempting to smear Republicans as the bad guys.
We get:
‘The fourth shutdown to occur over the past decade, it could significantly affect everything from air travel to national parks and marriage licenses.’
Not national parks and marriage licenses !!!!. OMG !.
Then ominously in a paragraph all of it’s own:
‘It follows a hard-right revolt in the US House of Representatives.’
‘But a rebel faction of right-wing lawmakers has held up negotiations in the House’
There we have ‘right wing’ again. I don’t recall EVER seeing the BBC describe Democrats as ‘Left-wing’. It’s very rare they use it because they don’t it to be a label for bad things like they have done with ‘right-wing’.
‘…demand for significant cuts in spending, including a call for no more US funding of the war in Ukraine.’
Not sure, but I think in BBC circles that’s equivalent to torturing pensioners or murdering babies.
‘”The Speaker needs to abandon his doomed mission of trying to please [Republican] extremists,” he said.’
Goodness ! – they are extremists now !!.
He then goes on to pick as many unimportant, empathy-related issues this causes such as:
‘The shutdown will also have an immediate impact on the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), which provides grocery assistance to seven million pregnant women and new mothers.’
And then a ‘could’:
‘A prolonged shutdown could also affect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a grocery benefit known as “food stamps” that serves 40 million low-income Americans, and hinder the implementation of a new programme to serve free breakfast and lunch to students in high-need school districts.’
The whole article is full of more of the same : Republicans bad.
And no self-respecting BBC article about American politicis would be complete without an attempt to link the bad things with Trump:
‘The last government shutdown, under Mr Trump in 2019, lasted a record 34 days.’
Was that because of ‘A hard-left revolt’ Sam ?. You seem to want us to think both shutdowns were the Republicans fault.
And here he is : another of the BBC’s finest ‘impartial and unbiased’ reporters:

Yes Sluff- I wrote to ” Newswatch” last night asking them
what this headline was doing on the BRITISH broadcasting
corporations main internet page. Also asking them why
the hacking to death of a 15 year old girl on a bus when
she was going to school in LONDON which I believe
is in England , has seemed to disappear on the BBC website.
Or is the BRITISH part of the corporations name, Just an
oxymoron.

A girl is knifed to death on the bus to school in diverse, vibrant, multicultural Croydon.
The BBC of course totally fail to mention the diverse context.
A boy aged 17 has been charged with murder.
A boy.
Un-named because he is young and so has his anonymity protected.
Which is rather odd. Because Labour, the LibDems and SNP want such a person to have a vote !!!!!!! FFS.

Dishi Rishi wants an end to the War on the Motorist.
Where have the Tories been for the last 10 years? Declaring War on the Motorist almost as much as Labour and the Eco-loons.
Perhaps Sunak should take a look at the M53 today. A school bus overturned. Two people died.
But how many thousands of motorists had their lives trashed? Where was the effort to open up at least the unaffected carriageway? Where was the effort to turn round the traffic stranded behind the overturned bus? How many hours did the police spend with their clipboards measuring all kinds of distances? And how often is this multi-hour road closure the norm after any motorway accident ?
No. The war on the Motorist will continue. It runs very very deep throughout the public sector, and most local Tory councillors have not the guts to stand up to those in real power- especially the unelected council traffic officials who spend their working lives dreaming up the anti-car schemes and burying the detail in hundred page reports no-one has the time or inclination to read…and so they go through on the mod.
That, dear readers ( and Rishi), is how it actually works.

I think the outgoing blue labour regime has got collective mental issues . Two themes – the highest tax levels since the war and – indeed – the war on motorists .
The blue labour ‘conference ‘ is going to announce the end of the ‘war against motorists ‘ and no more tax rises . Both claims will be lies – whatever regime gets in next time .
And the blue Labour Party is the very outfit waging war against both tax payers and motorists aka people in cars .
So the mental issue I mentioned above is dementia . Sunak hunt and co have no recollection of the harm they have been doing but maybe are finally realising they are about to be thrown out . Neither of those mentioned – indeed the whole crap cabinet – will be personally financially affected – but the desire for power and cudos will be their big loss .
Then it’s red labour to finish the self destruction completely – shouldn’t be difficult after what the current shower have done …
BTW – how is the ‘today ‘ programme? – been avoiding it …

Yes, that’s the puzzling part. Rich Sunaks attempt to row back from some things green with cars/petrol etc? That legislation is enshrined in law thanks to Treason May & Boris the liar. Sunak cannot amend that legislation without further legislation. Without looking into it, and at face value, its just Sunaks word which, for me, will not be relied upon. He’s caught the ‘Boris’ lying bug.

As anyone who has visited Canada will know, Canadians are the nicest, kindest and politest people on earth. So they probably can’t bear to vote him out, in case it hurts his feelings.

Government shutdown only hours away in the US
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66965214
It is still slightly shocking for me when I read some of the kidult articles written by BBC staff about important topics.
This is little to do with the shutdown and more about attempting to smear Republicans as the bad guys.
We get:
‘The fourth shutdown to occur over the past decade, it could significantly affect everything from air travel to national parks and marriage licenses.’
Not national parks and marriage licenses !!!!. OMG !.
Then ominously in a paragraph all of it’s own:
‘It follows a hard-right revolt in the US House of Representatives.’
‘But a rebel faction of right-wing lawmakers has held up negotiations in the House’
There we have ‘right wing’ again. I don’t recall EVER seeing the BBC describe Democrats as ‘Left-wing’. It’s very rare they use it because they don’t it to be a label for bad things like they have done with ‘right-wing’.
‘…demand for significant cuts in spending, including a call for no more US funding of the war in Ukraine.’
Not sure, but I think in BBC circles that’s equivalent to torturing pensioners or murdering babies.
‘”The Speaker needs to abandon his doomed mission of trying to please [Republican] extremists,” he said.’
Goodness ! – they are extremists now !!.
He then goes on to pick as many unimportant, empathy-related issues this causes such as:
‘The shutdown will also have an immediate impact on the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), which provides grocery assistance to seven million pregnant women and new mothers.’
And then a ‘could’:
‘A prolonged shutdown could also affect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a grocery benefit known as “food stamps” that serves 40 million low-income Americans, and hinder the implementation of a new programme to serve free breakfast and lunch to students in high-need school districts.’
The whole article is full of more of the same : Republicans bad.
And no self-respecting BBC article about American politicis would be complete without an attempt to link the bad things with Trump:
‘The last government shutdown, under Mr Trump in 2019, lasted a record 34 days.’
Was that because of ‘A hard-left revolt’ Sam ?. You seem to want us to think both shutdowns were the Republicans fault.
And here he is : another of the BBC’s finest ‘impartial and unbiased’ reporters:
