Midweek 13th December 2023

A freelance Sports presenter – probably the highest paid ‘employee’ of the BBC – continues to publicly express personal political views – usually contrary to the elected government . The man’s views are offensive to many – and breaches the ‘neutrality ‘ the BBC pretends to follow … the BBC fails to stop him – but if it damages the BBC it’s good for those of us who want to change or destroy it .

    You have relied on the words of someone who has openly supported terrorism for years.
    You quote someone who even supported those who murdered the Israeli / British Dee family
    Don’t you do any due diligence EVER before writing this crap?

      The special thing is they leveraged a deferred prosecution he had plead guilty to , 2 years earlier in a PLEA BARGAIN after he had gone into the Capitol to disrupt someone’s speech (one indicting Trump)
      .. Then this time offered him another plea bargain
      which he stupidly took
      He could have held out.

    News update from the Islamic Broadcasting Corporation of Londonistan.

    A Christmas Carol get together in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is too popular and so has been cancelled. The wet-behind-the-ears lady vicar is understanding. ‘You can never be too careful, hopefully it will go ahead next year’. Note. In the 2021 census , Christians numbered 22%, Muslims 40%.
    Next up. Children have delivered a petition to Downing Street calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Isn’t that sweet? A couple of children were interviewed. They were on message but the fluency suggested they had not quite memorised the script.
    Next, a plea to allow families in Gaza of UK citizens to all come over here.
    Got the message?

    Veganism is in crisis, and the fanatics can only blame themselves.
    Jamie Blackett writing in DT.

    Heather Mills attends the launch of her new vegan restaurant, V-Bites which has gone bust.

    Q “How do you tell if someone is a vegan?”

    A: “You don’t have to, they’ll tell you.”

    Maybe it’s jokes like that, highlighting society’s stereotypical view of vegans as arrogant virtue-signallers, that have led to a slump in demand for some plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy, as well as a slew of business failures among manufacturers of plant-based food – most recently Heather Mills’s company VBites, which has just announced it is going into administration.

    Despite veganism being endorsed by a number of celebrities, such as the BBC’s controversial wildlife presenter Chris Packham, it doesn’t seem to have made much headway beyond those segments of the market that are either apocalyptic about climate change or fanatical about animal rights – or both. Perhaps much like Mr Packham himself.

    Then there’s the argument that veganism is good for your health, which has been on an increasingly sticky wicket, deconstructed by books such as the award-winning The Great Plant Based Con by Jayne Buxton. There is also a growing backlash against ultra-processed foods, which many vegan products are.

    I also had a works collegeue who tried to convince me once that Vegans were healthy. But she had a lot of time-off being ill. To compensate she also had a huge catalogue of vitamin supplements to add to her food I noticed. Even my own children one of whom claims she is now lactose intolerant is susceptable to colds at any time. We avoid the BBC for its dross, but they have affected an entire generation of children who think they are ‘this’ or ‘that’ and all think the world is about to end tomorrow. Just like Chris Packham, at the BBC.

    The BBC ‘natural world’ has virtually banned Dairy farming in its programming. it reflects the practice of EU progressives who think all food should be made in a factory with a label attached with a health warning. Packham is a bit of a ‘berk’ alongside another well known – berk – called ‘Linekar’, both ‘in-house’ BBC trained ‘experts’ on just about anything scientific, nutritious or healthy. As recommended by the global ‘progressives’, who help run the vegan food factories. Banning Fertilizer is just the start…

        And I can’t understand why these peculiar people aren’t clever enough to make up their own names for the sort of slop they think is food…

        I started a list once, but began to feel somewhat queasy when I remembered tha drab colour of some of the slurry I saw on a (very small) part of a Tesco shelf!

        Queuing in our chemist’s shop the other day, I peered at the cost of all the supplements vegans have to take to stay healthy! Some of the jollop was costing about £40.00 for a small bottle of herby fart pills, and even then that wouldn’t be enough for a healthy lifestyle!

        Perhaps employers should make sure that such simple folk don’t arrive at their private firms and take too much time off while they recover from every bug going around!

    “Hate Crime/Incident Reporting”
    It is widely acknowledged nationally that hate crime is under reported by victims
    – often because they are either unaware that they have experienced a hate crime, they are unaware of their rights or they are unsure how to report them outside of contacting the police directly.
    To assist victims in reporting hate crimes, there are numerous options, many of which are detailed on our website.
    Reporting incidents of hate help Humberside Police and our partners in supporting victims and the information provided can be used in identify emerging community tensions.

    @F2 I have given up on A and E unless on the brink of death.

    I attended 9 AM Saturday morning in Stevenage on the advice of a pharmacist who I consulted first, due to a wound, she said this is the best time for queues.

    I paid for 3 hours parking and at 11.30 AM there were still people there waiting from 9 PM the PREVIOUS NIGHT, along with the usual people kicking off and shouting.

    Akin to one of Dante’s circles of hell, I gave up and went home as I was risking a parking fine. Although, being Stevenage, I did get to find out the latest offerings, fashionwise from JD Sports and Sports Direct.

    Either that or many athletes were injured overnight, losing teeth and suddenly became obese and affected with tourette syndome.

    One of the afflicted was an elderly lady waiting for a bed from the previous evening, sitting on a plastic chair, for 14 hours, her son arrived and remarked to the receptionist that it really wasn’t good enough and received the angry and brusque reply:

    “go private then”.

    Israel-Gaza war: What is the price of peace?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67701700

    Bowen’s at it again and it’s such extreme bilge, I could only skip-read it. It’s another lengthy essay which has no news in it at all. It’s just non-stop pro-Hamas, anti-Israel propaganda and rhetoric.

    But this senetence in a paragraph of it’s own caught my eye:

    Here’s a ‘quote’ from the son of a woman who was burned alive in her house

    ‘”They came into my country and killed my mother because we didn’t have peace. So, to me, this just proves the point that we need it,” he says.’

    This statement seems a bit odd. And as always with the BBC, if it seems odd, it’s because it has been carefully worded.

    In this case, Bowen knows full well that Hamas do not want peace. So he doesn’t go anywhere near saying that – he just says some unspecified ‘peace’ which means nobody is killing each other.

    But the reality is that it’s Hamas who do not want peace. They want to murder every Jew until they are all gone. They say it quite openly.

    There’s no way a son grieving for his mother would come up with such a carefully worded sentence. Therefore I can conclude Bowen himself wrote it like that so he didn’t have to say who is causing all the fighting. Which in turn means Bowen is a shameless, ethically-barren liar. One of the BBC’s finest.

    Of course we knew that already. But it’s nice to see things like this to confirm it.

    What is interesting is how Egypt don’t want them either. You can be sure Bowen won’t go near why.

          Indeed. The journalistic commitment of Mullah Blimp is predictably unidirectional.

          Meanwhile, Rebel News:

          Today, I covered a protest calling out the Australian Red Cross for neglecting its mission and abandoning Israeli hostages.

          Approximately 60 people, mostly women, gathered outside the Australian Red Cross headquarters to condemn the organisation for prioritising visits to Hamas terrorists in Israeli jails over attending to the plight of hostages.

          It’s crazy! It’s been nine weeks since the hostages were captured, and the Red Cross has not provided any assistance!

          Despite being supported by the Australian Government and the generosity of well-intentioned Australians, the Red Cross is facing mounting criticism for its inaction.

          They demand accountability from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

          The crowd’s chants of “Do your job” echoed the sentiment that the Red Cross has failed in its duty.

          Shockingly, there have been no welfare visits or inquiries, leaving the hostages stranded in dire conditions.

          One protester passionately stated, “This organisation should either apologise for not doing its job or be closed down.”

          The frustration and desperation of the families were palpable as they pleaded for basic medical care.

          I urge you to watch the video to get the full picture of this alarming situation and join the call for justice for the neglected hostages. Share the video with your network to raise awareness and demand accountability from the organisation entrusted with their welfare.

          Let’s stand together in demanding justice.

          Yours truly,

          Avi Yemini
          Chief Australia Correspondent

          Do your job, BBC.

          Hamas want the firing to never cease. That is why they committed atrocities and took hostages in the first place. All but forgotten by the bandwagon merchants of the political media ideology estate.

          Cretins like Bowen are using blatant propaganda to get more kids killed, all because they hate Israel more. That he is still employed at all, much less as the ME stirrer of the BBC, shows how foul it is.

    ‘You can’t keep a good song down!’ – exclaims the Guardian quoting from their G2 feature: The return of Brenda Lee – and that sentiment is rather appropriate as the Gruan once again tops the BBC press review online news pile.

    Or should we say the Guardian ‘cops’ top spot with their top headline: Landmark Cop28 deal agreed to ‘transition’ away from fossil fuels

    transition away‘ – I’ve suddenly had a vision of an arab oil sheik in a green wig calling himself a proud just stop oil lesbian

    Careful now… A top Tory reported to police in a trans row… Rachel Maclean, the Conservative Party’s deputy chairman for women, found herself embroiled in a storm after sharing an online post… The post labelled the Green candidate as ‘a man who wears a wig and calls himelf a “proud lesbian”‘ (Daily Mail)

    The BBC likes the FT for their number two spot in their press review and the pink paper prefers the word ‘shifting‘ to ‘transition‘ in their celebratory top Cop headline: ‘Historic’ COP28 deal cites shifting away from fossil fuels for first time (FT)

    No other major daily is interested in Cop to such an extent as is the FT and the Gruan. Therefore relegation to BBC press line-up mid-table obscurity today is the inevitable fate of the freebie celeb-minded Metro and the Rishi lackey loyalist Express.

    And the Sunak toadying paper – best known hereabouts of late for the sudden dropping of its unity with the people of Ukraine… like a hot brick – this morning headlines with: Defence chief tells Lineker: Put a sock in it! Grant Shapps has told Gary Lineker… stop pushing his anti-Tory agenda on social media (Daily Express)

    The Times needs a Mr AsI to weild the editorial blue pencil: Hundreds more middle-aged people have been dying each month since the pandemic ended, as obesity and NHS backlogs drive a surge in excess deaths – No, no, no: dying each month since the pandemic Lockdowns ended

    Comrade Robinson has a nice chat with comrade drakeford – I was waiting for the question about his ‘greatest achievement ‘ ?… what has he improved whilst in office ?

    The DT today carries graphs of the decline of wales across health – education – crime – and the increase in taxes ….

    In the last 2 weeks 6? Teenagers have died in car crashes – one in wales – one on the border …. I wonder if the 20mph crap limit has had an effect on driving ? Maybe yes – maybe no …but it’s a horrible number …

    Comrade Robinson didn’t seem to care about the quality of life in wales – just the personal crap about a crap politician – lord drakeford of failure …. New years honours list… depressing innit ?

        Goldfish:

        I knew a bloke who had a goldfish in a very small aquarium and felt sorry for him swimming around in a small rectangle all day so he liberated him into the local pond.
        He watched for a while while he swam around, in a small rectangle at the edge of the pond over and over.

      Current national threat level
      The threat to the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) from terrorism is SUBSTANTIAL.

      What the threat levels mean
      Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack.

      LOW means an attack is highly unlikely
      MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely
      SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely
      SEVERE means an attack is highly likely
      CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future

    Extremely tiresome that Robinson thinks we’re all fascinated by his support for Man Utd…no less tiresome that he turns Today into an advert for the BBC and its programming as he scoffs at the streamers.

    I imagine Robinson found it more than tiresome that Sir Alex Younger, ex-head of MI6, by default linked the BBC to increased risk of terrorism by Muslims…though naturally the word ‘Muslim’ wasn’t mentioned.

    Younger told us that due to the conflict in Gaza there was the very real prospect of massive radicalisation in Europe…no mention of who was being radicalised…but as reports from France show it’s quite clear who the ‘radicals’ are….

    ‘France rocked by two Islamist horrors: Knifeman storms nursery and tells staff ‘I’ll rape you Jews and cut you up like in Gaza’ as cops reveal schoolgirl, 12, who threatened to kill teacher was inspired by ‘jihad’ murderer’

    Just two of many, many attacks occurring across Europe now.

    The BBC has played its part in whipping up that radicalisation as its inflammatory and false reports were beamed across the world telling us how the Jews were massacring hospital occupants…..Bowen has no regrets though for his and his colleagues dangerous lies.

    The BBC is the most dangerous organisation in Britain today.

    Not to be reported on MSM —

    Professor of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Infectious Immunology and Infectious Epidemiology sounds an alarm about DNA contamination in the mRNA vaccines that far exceeds limits set by medicines regulators. (This confirms what other researchers have also found.) So the German medicines regulator moves in with a letter warning that the claim “serves to foster uncertainty through targeted disinformation”:

    “The tests mentioned in the letter were carried out by unauthorised laboratories and the conclusions presented do not correspond to the current state of scientific knowledge.”

    Well the current state of scientific knowledge happens to have been upgraded last week as a University of Cambridge study showed a coding problem with the mRNA causes unintended immune responses. It’s criminal that the media and public bodies declare mis/disinfo as enemy no.1 but do nothing except use their power to shut down, smear and censor.

    On its fake news website, the BBC devotes acres of space to ‘analyse’ the causes of the Israel – Hamas conflict.
    The result is a sandstorm of factoids that serve to obscure more than clarify and that have, predictably, a pro-Palestine bias.
    What you will not find mentioned is that Islam is replete with antisemitism from its very origins, whether in the Quran, the Hadith and the Sira, as well as in its historical development over the centuries.

    It is fanatically supremacist, intolerant and implacably opposed to other religions, infidels and non-believers. Its final aim is world domination.

    Apologists will sometimes dredge out some quote that sounds conciliatory towards other faiths, but in all such cases the context is left out. The apparent tolerance is heavily qualified and mitigated by circumstances and context.
    Furthermore, the more conciliatory verses of the Quran are always from the early period of Moohammud (when he was militarily weak) and are superseded by later war-like quotes according to the principle of abrogation.

    The Demonrats know they will lose the next election, and so their intention is to undertake a huge cyber attack on their own country, and then declare martial law and suspend the election in November.

    I imagine that would provoke a civil war in the USA and some idiot dangling upside down from the lamp posts.

        ‘Race discrimination, illegal in the UK since 1976, arises when someone is unfairly disadvantaged for reasons related to their race which, in the Equality Act 2010, includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins.’

        It’s blatant racist discrimination. But with the Left, it’s only wrong when someone else does it. Any law is pointless if it is not enforced – and I’m still unable to comprehend why it is never enforced for racist discrimination against white people.

        Enforcing diversity beyond their actual % representation in society is racist. Period. The BBC are 100% illegal racists for that reason.

          And he’s right. In the opinion of our attorneys, IBM was violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by using coercion to discriminate against white and Asian males in favor of meeting internal quotas based on gender and race.”

    “Media Confidential: Reporting on Gaza—bravery, brutal facts and the need for context

    On Media Confidential this week, Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber hear Israeli and Palestinian perspectives on how the war in Gaza is being covered and on the continuing fight to control the media narrative.

    Palestinian-British writer Samir El-Youssef discusses how the conflict and Hamas are reported on by Arabic-language news channels while Esther Solomon, editor-in-chief of Haaretz English, talks about trying to balance opposition to the politics of Benjamin Netanyahu with reporting on the on-going impacts and consequences of Hamas’s terrorism on the 7th October.

    Regarding the recent report of HAMAS terrorists armed in Gaza hospitals, maybe they are used to the A and E at Lister, Stevenage, where recent experiences have lead me to the opinion that it is better to be tooled up whilst waiting.

    Half the attendees are in handcuffs and the other half should be, except for the mummified old lady in the corner with the flies around her.

    At the very least a baseball bat, just for negotiating with the receptionist, who I suspect used to be a drill seargent with the Royal Marines, thrown out for being too aggressive and foul mouthed.

    And at least an Ak47 to protect yourself if you make the grave mistake of asking :

    “how long is the wait likely to be ?”

    Or even worse:

    “that seems a little long”?

    Whilst everyone else ducks for cover upon hearing you, including the police escorting the rat faced shoplifter who apparently headbutted a wall whilst “resisting arrest”.
