Midweek 6th December 2023

The unelected PM is saying that the increase in the BBC licence fee won’t be as high as BBC expects – another lie ? Or maybe a suggestion the BBC becomes self financing ? Don’t pay for it . Keep your money …

    “Jonathan Auburn, representing Reading Borough Council, said: ‘During some of those meetings, Ruth was quite emotional. Ms Alice Boon was the only local authority representative you spoke to – and you told her nothing about Ruth’s mental well-being during the meetings you had with her?

    ‘There was no other way for the local authority to get this information – this could have only come from you.’

    Mr Derry replied: ‘There would have been opportunity to discuss this if a local authority representative had wanted to.’

    Mr Auburn added: ‘It is very clear that you didn’t feel the need to raise with Ms Alice Boon the fact that Ruth was tearful or emotional during those meetings.

    ‘What that means is that you are leaving it up to Ruth to take care of her own well-being.’

    Mr Derry replied: ‘No, that’s not correct. I was very mindful of it.’

    His answer drew loud scoffing from the public gallery where friends and colleagues of Ms Perry were watching proceedings.

    Mr Derry also confirmed that he did not communicate anything else about Ruth or her well-being ‘to anyone at all’ after the inspection finished. ”

    BBC ‘Live feed’ Headline: ‘Blinken criticises Israel for civilian death toll in Gaza’

    What Blinken actually said: “It remains imperative that Israel put a premium on civilian protection,”

    Once again not the same thing at all BBC. And once again a blatant lie on the front page which they do not repeat in the article. Because that stays on record.

    It’s reached the point now where we can only trust the actual words people said, not what the BBC report they say. They lie without conscience.

    To lighten the mood somewhat – the jokey blokey Daily Star (masthead motto: Proud to love animals) splashes with foreign news: Airport smuggler is caught with half a zoo down his undies… two otters and a prairie dog stuffed down his undercrackers at Bangkok Airport – where else…?

    Well, I’ve heard talk of the meat and two veg, and even the piller and two stones – I think that latter archaic-flavoured euphemism came up in the script of Game of Thrones – but prairie dog and two otters – that’s a new one on me.

    Speaking of unlikely rodents making the newspaper frontpages, our pound shop junior Guardian that is the ‘i’ newspaper (Subscribe now and get this paper for 60p) publishes an over-large photo of what looks like the absolute spit of former tv puppet Roland Rat. He’s got the knitted brow. The slightly gormless look. The sticky out rolled condom pink ears… it is of course our very own Swindon area regional district manager – otherwise The Right Honourable, Prime Minister & First Lord of the Treasury, leader of the Conservative Party (don’t laugh) Rishi Sunak

    ‘Wounded’ PM faces growing rebellion – runs the screamer headline in the ‘i’ which by the way favours more agenda-based frontpage bullet point sub-headers than the itinerary for a meeting of the esteemed Swindon area regional district management team.

    What’s that grumbling I hear? Yes, Sadiq Khan, you can be included in the meetings of the esteemed Swindon area regional district management team.

    Of course all these: multiple Tory rebellions – are absolute grist to the mill for the left-leaning ‘i’

    It’s nailed its political colours to the mast: Pod gods… Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell

    In a perfect world our Rishi would be running the local Swindon Sainsburys.

    Speaking of which… you may as well stock up on loo rolls all over again, if the Covid Inquiry has anything to do with plans for the next China flu oubreak.

    In his second day of testimony at the inquiry, he [Boris Johnson] denied that he had been reluctant to lock down a second time because he was prepared to let older people die to keep the economy open. In a tetchy exchange, he called the idea “rubbish” and insisted he had aimed to “save human life at all ages” (BBC) – this reads as though the Inquiry were a court of prosecution for the crime of contravening the prevailing universally accepted Lockdown Law of sooner harder longer. Which law is taken as read. So do remember to buy that extra pack of toilet tissues.

    To the Rishi lackey loyalist Daily Express – which once boasted on its masthead loyal support for our formerly brave proxy war ally Ukraine (now an expensive lost cause): Rishi: I get it! Now back me to finish the job – to which one tends to reply – as they say in supermarket parlance – Bog Off!

    UK government paying an extra £100Mil to Rwanda to take highly skilled medics, engineers, etc. (With a bit of luck they may receive a dozen before red labour take over and cancel).

    UK government continues to pay many millions more to France for the supply of these highly skilled medics, engineers, etc. (We will probably get a lot more free of charge once labour take over).

    I just can’t fathom why the UK mounts up so much debt with very little economic growth and services breaking down ?

        One sentence fact sheet:
        This is going to kill 30,000,000 people, end the UK, and disperse 8 million Londoners to the countryside.”

        I just don’t get this globalist ambition.

        What is the point of being fabulously wealthy with a docile population on the voting front, if a small but significant % remain so feral you can only inhabit homes in gated communities, offices with bunkers and shuttle between in armoured 4x4s only you can afford until the motor industry collapses?

        It’s like the hookers in cheesy mob movies wandering around swimming pools all day in bikinis doing f-all except hold cocktails until they get slaughtered by a raid over the fence.

    There’s been some interesting reportage by Mark White, from Calais on GBNews.
    Large numbers of migrants attempting to get into Britain by whatever means. When asked where they wanted to go in Britain the reply was universally ‘London”. The obvious solution to the problem then is to disband London, move it, rename it.
    Seriously, I assume that because London is full of foreigners and run by foreigners the migrants they think they have a good chance of making their way in London.
    An’ important point arises. Why not stay in France? Or other Countries in Europe? This is a total failure of the govrenance of the EU with its open borders. As an aside it must be pretty hellish for the residents of Calais and the other Channel Ports. These migrants are living there for months, how? I think the lefty charities should be barred from helping the migrants.

    Should Mark White be renamed Mark Whitee?

    When the enrichers eventually take over, my guess is sometime around 2070, I wonder if they will treat our grandchildren the same way that the enrichers who took America off the indigenous population treated them.
    Will they be allocated reservations just like the Apache and Cheyenne.
    Give the Cockneys a corner of Salisbury Plain or the Geordies some land around Hadrians Wall.
    On the other hand, will it be like the grey squirrels enriching the UK and driving the red squirrels out.

    Even if you use government numbers, which are always minimised to make the enricher numbers look low, (they call these one way adjustments ‘errors’ when they are found out) it’s only a matter of time before they take over and we become Britainistan. Mass immigration and large numbers of children means the numbers will go their way.
    Currently they are concentrated in several areas giving them the opportunity to start getting their own MP’s into Parliament.
    They will probably call themselves ‘independent’ to start off with but as they increase their number of MP’s they will become the 3rd biggest Party, then the opposition and finally the government.
    Jews beware, they will be first as Niemoller wrote.
    The lgbt lot and whatever the number of genders is the fashion will be next, also meeting their end in high places.
    Once they’ve got Britainistan the same as the other ‘stans, will that be enough or will they not want to stay there as they didn’t want to stay in their own ‘stans and then look for somewhere else to move into.

    I won’t be here when they take over but you can put it down to our current crop of politicians, conservatives wanting mass immigration so that their mates can get cheap labour and make money, labour wanting mass immigration because they believe they will get their votes. They will at first but that will change.
    If you don’t believe this, look how quickly they are taking over London. Look at places like Birmingham. It’s happening now and gathering pace.

    If anybody can see a better future please show it because, to paraphrase Enoch (I think) we are building our own funeral pyre.
    We are tolerating ourselves to oblivion.
    By the way, Happy Christmas everyone.

    That’s on top of the £290 million so far.

      Well done Israel I say. That’s how you deal with Muslim terrorists. Don’t trust them a single inch.

      Apparently when the USA was flying terrorists out of Afghanistan in handcuffs, they were trying to break pipe in the aircraft with their teeth hoping to make it crash !. We are not talking about normal people here.

      The REAL story here though is tucked right at the end:

      First:
      ‘The man said seven of his cousins have since been released and have returned home, but added he does not know about the fate of the three who remain in Israeli detention.’

      Not shot in the face then BBC. Released unharmed.

      Second:
      In a post on social media, the Palestinian ambassador to the UK described the footage as “savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter”.

      Because I have no doubt whatsoever now that the UN will shelter anyone – even if they think they are terrorists.

      Not that the ‘Ambassador’ has anything to say worth listening to : this is a quote from the start of the war:

      ‘Our president demanded an immediate ceasefire to the atrocious, murderous assault by Israel, on our civilians, on our people.’.

      But the BBC will use anything from anybody – however lopsided – if it suits them.

    BBC Terrorist sacked – made me smile on a dull Friday.

    From the UnIndependent.

    Chris Packham has been sacked by a bird charity for becoming “too political” and doing no work for the organisation, according to reports.

    The BBC star and naturalist was let go by bird of prey rehabilitation centre Raptor Rescue because his environmental campaigns were “splitting” its membership.

    The charity’s chairman said some members didn’t like the “political side” of Mr Packham’s activities and it couldn’t support his advice on breaking the law for environmental reasons.

    “He was a patron, but we hadn’t heard from him in a long time, he hadn’t done anything for the charity, and we couldn’t contact him,” Mr Robbins told the Daily Telegraph.

    “The other reason we decided to remove him was he started to get more and more political in his views and that didn’t sit well with our members either.”

    It comes after Mr Packham claimed breaking the law to campaign against climate change policies was “the ethically responsible thing to do” provided it did not hurt anyone.

    He compared the activity of Just Stop Oil protesters to the suffragettes and the South African anti-apartheid movement, claiming a radical environmental flank could develop in the UK.

    Instead of giving the tv licence fee to the bbbc they should give it all to GB News.
    As someone on the right (or far right according to the msm) I have no choice but to pay to legally watch all tv channels even though I disagree with just about everything the bbbc puts out.

    Why not give the money to GBN and let the bbbc run adverts.

    The lefties would see their licence fee going to a more balanced TV provider (or far right as they would describe it) but they could still watch their bbbc legally.

    If it’s fair for me to pay lefties to be able to watch my tv then surely it’s also fair, if the situation was changed, that the lefties should pay for something they disagree with.

    It’s puzzling to me why Socialists, Union Chiefs and Labour people seem to think large scale immigration, legal and illegal, is something to be supported. After all the import of cheap labour will only undermine the wages and working conditions of British workers.
    What I detect is that it’s the Champagne Socialists, Senior Labour Politicians and MSM media types that support the migrants, the Gary Linekers. In the real world, British workers do not want large scale immigration. The ex Red Wall, now Blue Wall Constituencies may well be safer for Tory MP’s than the BBC and MSM would like us to think.

      Labour support it because immigrants generally vote for left-leaning parties. More than 50 Labour MPs are dependent on migrant voters for their majorities.

      Hard leftists support it because they see immigrants, particularly Muslims, as a source of revolutionary discontented foot soldiers e.g. see The Prophet and the Proletariat by Chris Harman (Socialist Workers Party) published in 1984.

      Globalists support it because they wish to undermine and destroy national sovereignty, and the way to do that it so to change the people who define the individual nations. The mass media are only the mouthpiece of the globalists.

      People like ‘the Gary Linekers’ support it because they are twick t*ats.

          That’s rather an alarming read.

          To go back to Flotsam’s original comment. It’s puzzling to me why the British ‘youth’ (and in some cases not so young) are so supportive of mass immigration, considering it is, basically the root cause of our current ‘housing shortage’ in this country.

          There is a generation that moans, vociferously, about how there aren’t enough houses, and they can’t afford to buy property, and yet, in the same breath, praises uncontrolled, mass immigration. It defies all logic, and I can’t for the life of me understand why they should feel this way, clearly large swathes of them are nothing more than brainwashed sheep being led to slaughter.

Genetic instructions in the jab could be tweaked to avoid a harmless tiny ‘slip’ sometimes seen as the body reads the code […] Existing mRNA vaccines are effective and safe, they say.”

    Except it’s not a harmless tiny slip, as the joint author of the study himself says —

    “We can remove the error-prone code from the mRNA in vaccines so the body will make the proteins we want for an immune response without inadvertently making other proteins as well. The safety concern for future mRNA medicines is that mis-directed immunity has huge potential to be harmful, so off-target immune responses should always be avoided.”

    This represents an astonishing regulatory failure by the MHRA. The government who lied, and continue to lie about safety — and every news agency that fails to report this study accurately to the UK public — should be fired.

        Because they are spiteful Lefties who laugh at ANYTHING as long as it is against the Right.

        It always reminds of a clip I saw with Alec Baldwin doing his Trump impersonation on SNL and he was just overacting as Trump to ridicule him. There was nothing particularly funny or witty about it but the audience were laughing and clapping as he did it.

        That was the face of leftist hate which is hidden among the middle classes and who do their best to hide it.

    Today my community is witness to the heartbreaking spectacle of Muslim parents fearing for their kids because a letter was sent their children’s school threatening to kill them for no other reason than they are Muslim.
    I’ve written to the Home Secretary calling for urgent action

    It achieves nothing, because they have demanded the unachievable.

    Though in many cases the replies make them look dumber and more desperate than already.

    Greta’s cohort is growing up
    By Olivia Rudgard

    Until recently, Xiye Bastida kicked off every talk she appeared at by telling the audience her age. A New York-based climate activist who started working in the space at 15, Bastida has participated in protests and debated green policies with seasoned professionals. Sometimes a single entreaty from her could be enough to push a roomful of adults toward compromise.

    “It was impressive for people to hear that we were so young,” she says. “People listened differently.”

    Be cool to see her vs. Hitchens. Oh, and Greta’s cohort… they appear to have moved to supporting tourists, loves.

Just another example of the Beebs love of ethnics to become a media personality – move over Jay, Dion, Anni, Nadya…. there’s a new kid on the block in line for an OBE.

    The security group said the assault left the victim unconscious.

    They said on X/Twitter: “The brutal attack ended after the two female offenders kept on kicking the unconscious victim in the head before laughing over her body and, according to witness reports, saying joyfully she’s ‘dead’! ”

    I should like to share with you a few Bible verses and to see if readers believe they are an accurate description of society today.

    It comes from 2 Timothy 3 1:9

    3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
    2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
    3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
    4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
    5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
    6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
    7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
    8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
    9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

    And also from 2 Timothy 4:3,4

    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

    I believe this verse concerns the Church in the last days moving away from the teachings of the Bible and to the teachings of Satan and his ideology, Socialism.

      I’m afraid I don’t believe in any religion or any God Thoughtful. I really wish I did so I could see a point to all of this.

      But I do believe those passages were written by people who understood human nature. To me, ‘God’ is your own conscience and sense of right and wrong. They could forsee what the evil among us would do at some point.

      And that’s where my dislike of the Left comes in. They have no conscience. They don’t care one bit about right and wrong. They can ignore 13 year old black boys murdering each other without a problem because their real hatred is at the Right so if these murders don’t help that, they don’t care.

      When the most faithful of all Muslims can tie infidel children together, burn them alive and celebrate it : it is all I need to know about what Islam teaches. And when the Left/BBC brush that under a carpet and ignore it because when those people they murdered seek to rid the world of the extremist scum, they can use the people killed as ‘victims’ against the Right, that’s all I need to know about the Left.

    Perhaps it will come as no surprise that the Muslim Police Officer who sexually assaulted several young cadets, five sexual assaults and 15 counts of misconduct in public office has had his already lenient sentence cut in half by the court of appeal.

    He was only given 5 years, that was reduced to 3 years and he will be released after 1.5 years. It’s taken longer to invesitgate him than the sentence he has received !

      crimes against teenage boys : sexual assault and misconduct
      “he had sexually assaulted three victims, aged between 15 and 18, ..
      convicted of five sex assaults

      Judge gave sentences of between two and three years for each sex assault
      .. and five years for each misconduct offence
      said all sentences would run concurrently – making a total of five years”
      So once the misconduct was reduced to 3 years, total sentence is 3 years.

    With all these ‘cheridees’ getting so much dosh from a gullible public, and also generous government subsidies, (that means taxpayer’s hard-earned money), how’s about instead of Great Britain giving other countries financial aid for the pockets of despots and ridiculous trips to the moon, we give all that to these ‘cheridees’ to deal with the issues they perceive are relevant in whatever undeveloped country they aspire to? After all, these organisations rate themselves as experts!

    Conditions though. There will always be conditions.

    Nobody in these bulging organisations earns more than the normal average wage for blue collar workers, say around £25,000 PA, including the fat cats at the top AND they have to have their accounts signed off by an independent auditor, with no connection, (interference) from the civil service or politicians at all.

    There! Problem solved! Nobody in the public arena has to give them any more money, because the government is doing just that from the taxes they screw us for! The righteous lefties have to actually work for their corn, the recipients get all the hand-wringers they need, (if they still turn up for work that is), and all the money wasted on tiresome overseas failures/thievery/corruption can now be dealt with by all these pullovered, wire-rimmed bespectacled, rosy-eyed lefties who can escape the wastage of the millions spent on the Milibands of this life, (ex-politician, now a millionaire from cheridee collection), and do exactly what they want to achieve their goal to make themselves feel important and actually try and do something for a change!

    The Beeboids can arrange for a special auto-cubicle to monitor all these activities, and report the good news as they think fit! I can think of several autocue-readers who could do this!

    Now what could be more simple than that!

      digg
      In 1945 I was 5 years old and my dear old Mum took me to school for the first time and I remember I cried when she went home without me. Oh dear such child abuse.
      However, after a few days I began to make friends. Some of whom became my best teenage boozing buddies.
      In 1955 at age 15, I left school and I can honestly say that in all of those 10 years in school I never, ever, came across a mentally disturbed child and I can assure you those years were not easy for those without dosh. Especially for parents.
      I was fortunate in that,though born in London in 1940, my parents moved to Sussex when I was 3 months old so my childhood playground – outside of school – was open countryside. Magical.
      At home our entertainment was provided via the wireless. Anyone remember that?
      There were two radio stations.
      The BBC Light Program and the BBC Home Service and very good they were too. Oh where did the BEEB go wrong????
      Don’t answer that one because I know the answer.
      All of which leads me to believe that the cause of the rise in childhood insanity is the total misuse of the internet.
      For once we probably can’t point the finger at Auntie because teenagers don’t imbibe her poison.
      But — Hang on a minute — pre-school children —– Oh my God!!!
      Just too horrific to contemplate. Communist indoctrination of infants.

    So local BBC enviro activist reporter built a huge elaborate news item for them lots of shots and cutaways. music etc.
    .. we got to hear the anti oil voices
    We were given no pro oil voices

    The context is that in the next 20 years that oil/gas field will produce more energy than crazy solar schemes that will take up half the county.

    The item show in a nearby wood around an open log fire.
