      “When you are the only person in a room stand up and say it” That’s fine for the Left to do because there’s no come back on them, but when people dare challenge the left especially in the UK they run the risk of arrest, prosecution, violence, job loss, violence etc etc.

      Fine when you are a billionaire running for office it doesn’t matter, but for the rest of us challenging the Left can have dire consequences

      Yeah….women can be and do whatever they want just like men….oh, hang on….now that means they must be ‘men’ and not women…so women cannot do everything a man can….unless secretly they’re actually ‘men’.

      Funny how even the BBC’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ fails to support women, real women, these days as their colleagues elsewhere, and cyncial big corporations, try to erase women from society….and schools groom children for the trans lobby.

      Tomo
      Thanks for highlighting this – unlike most of the media for most of the last 2 years.
      It cropped up on Toady this morning (Tues) when useless Hussein briefly asked the NHS head honcho Steven Powys about it. He gave a common answer – many factors- and highlighted the knock on effect of all the NHS industrial action. She didn’t pursue.

      Which conveniently fails to cover, and useless Hussein didn’t, the fact that these excess deaths are common the world over. And yet the rest of the world does not have our wonderful NHS as an excuse.

      A huge issue surely, 53,000 excess deaths.
      And yet nobody in authority or the media wants to know why.

      Andrew Bridgen would no doubt argue that covid vaccines have a part to play, where the risks of mass vaccination outweigh the benefits when covid symptoms are relatively minor. Others might wonder what is going on when fit, young, highly trained, superbly medically supported footballers keel over in the middle of a match.

      Me? I fear covid is not just a respiratory virus but also has a cardio-vascular component. I’m probably wrong but something is going on and the silence from the authorities is deafening.

      Put it another way. If all the supporters at the Liverpool football match yesterday died on the way home from the match, do you think it might have made it into the news? The death rate is the same.

        Sluff,

        I’ve started referring to our GP’s and GP’s in general as, “partly-trained drug dealers”. I mean it. For me, Covid was Phase two of prompting me to investigate all the drugs I have been prescribed and consumed over the years – without my usual questioning – simply trusting the GP to, ‘do the right thing’ and, ‘their hearts must surely be in the right place’. How wrong I have been and I feel very cheated now with my own clear idea of what’s happening. The GP’s turn immediately to a long list of products from the pharmaceutical industry. They condemn anybody that criticises their backhanders from Pharma. Try asking about Vit D / K2 / Ivermectin etc. No, no, no, they say despite it known that 70/80 of the population is chronically deficient in Vit D. So, I’ve proven to myself that I can lower BP consistently without Amlodipine – for months now with seriously monitoring. Sleep problems? Forget all the drugs the GP’s like to ‘push’. Melatonin is the answer. Sinus problems? Apple cider vinegar. So it goes on. Trust in the NHS? None now.

        GP’s, whilst not quite in the Shipman category, are quite happy to oversee the deaths of their patients.

        Oh by the way, I refer to Phase 2 above. Phase 1? when I was sent away by a previous GP they having screwed up an important ECG following three heart attacks with a bottle of Gaviscon to deal with my assessed, “indigestion”………… Three months later? Triple B/pass.

      The reason I ask is that as we all know making pollution is one of the greatest sins of our times and even does some children to ‘deff’. So what about all these polluting fireworks then?

      In the great polluting crime of londonistan the culprit even signed the crime with his own name.

    In which our press tells us politicians are not all just cardboard cut outs edition

    Those whom the gods would destroy, they first deprive them of reason – runs that old phrase with supposedly ancient Greek provenance.

    After young girl is ‘attacked by several men’ in online video game… First police probe into ‘virtual rape’ (Daily Mail)

    I’m sure my uncle Peter swiped an extra £200 of Monopoly cash without passing Go on Boxing Day 1975 during a family board game – what’s the statute of limitations on virtual bank fraud?

    New laws needed to tackle rise of terror chatbots… recruiting a new generation of violent extremists – insists the Telegraph

    Hey lefties – want to protect the children? Hey righties – frightened of terrorism?

    Hmmmm – obviously the government should clamp down really hard on everything that’s said and done on the internet. New laws, new policing body. Maybe a brand new tax to pay for all that – think of it as an update… a replacement for the BBC Licence Fee.

    The papers have been polling opinions on various matters of concern and they’re keen to tell us all about it.

    Brits in vote demand… We want election – screems the Labour-supporting Daily Mirror: Two-thirds of the public want a general election by summer at the latest… a poll for the Mirror found 62% believe life has got worse since 2010

    Seems Sir Keir may be getting ants in his pants – when it came to the notion of Lockdowns he was Mr Sooner, Harder and Longer – now our captain stay-at-home is anxious about getting out the vote: Starmer’s plea to stay-at-home voters as election looms (left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper)

    They tell us the internat is a scary wild west that needs policing – but I’ll bet they want us to start having gneral election voting online – watch this space.

    One hundred and phwoarty… It’s love at first flight as darts players are voted tops in bed. Table tennis players are the worst (Daily Star)

    Remember folks, it’s your votes that count – as Hughie Green used to say on Opportunity Knocks – there’s one for the teenagers

    I’m guessing Labour has been doing some serious private polling and focus group testing – only to find that despite public distain for Rishi and his Tory ilk, we ain’t all that enthusiastic about the stuffed shirt adenoidal personality by-pass that is the Labour leader either. And the permanent regime that is our uniparty can do equally as well fronted by either cardboard cut out.

    Makes not one iota of difference: Red Sea: UK defence secretary says British forces will repel Houthi attacks (BBC); Labour could back UK air strikes on Houthi rebels ‘in the national interest’. The UK and United States are thought to be preparing a joint statement to issue a final warning to the Houthis… Labour sources tell ‘i’ it would back the move (i news) – no public opinion polling required on that, then?

    BBC front page headline:

    UK asylum backlog cleared, says PM, but critics disagree
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67860254

    ‘The Home Office said more than 112,000 cases were processed in 2023 but Labour says it is making false claims’

    Nothing to do with the topic : they are all the worst of liars when it comes to illegal immigrants – the BBC most of all.

    But since when is it the job of the BBC to accuse the government of lying in the main headline ?. Not once but twice !. Most of the article is dedicated to giving Labour a soapbox to claim they are lying but there’s not a shred of evidence anywhere from anyone.

    Obviously of course this is a trick by Sunak as part of the election campaign. Just as the BBC’s article is intended to nullify it as part of the Labour campaign.

    What a shame they can’t apply such diligence for all the agenda topics THEY are lying to us about – such as the terrorist propaganda from Gaza and the ridiculous assertions by Ukraine.

    Surely nobody actually believes they are ‘impartial’ in all of this ?. I instantly dismiss anyone who tries to say they are as a shameless hypocrite. But as they are all Lefties, that goes without saying.

    For those who didn’t watch the Maverick of Wall Street, his video this morning was quite the eye opener.

    When Biden came to power the first thing he did was to cancel the keystone pipeline, because he claimed he was ‘green’ and an environmentalist. Oil production in the US fell like a stone, but then the price of Oil went up sharply and the Demonrats began to suffer in the polls, some will recall the stickers on petrol (gas) pumps in the US of Joe Biden pointing to the amount with the tag line “I did this”.
    So quietly the hypocritical Demonrats began to increase the oil output of the US and then began to extract shale oil again without actually saying anything at all until today it stands at record levels.

    I doubt that anyone in the media is ever going to take the Green washing off the Demorats in the run up to the election but here is the proof that it really has happened.

    Eight-year-old Mohammad had just moved to Ireland and entered his classroom on the first day of school.

    “What’s your name?” asked the teacher.

    “Mohammad,” he replied.

    “You’re in Ireland now,” replied the teacher, “so from now on you will be known as Frank.”

    Mohammad returned home after school. “How was your day, Mohammad?” his mother asked.

    “My name is no longer Mohammad. I’m in Ireland now and my name is Frank.”

    “What?” she said. “Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonor your parents, your heritage, your religion? Shame on you!” And his mother beat him.

    Then she called his father, who beat him again.

    The next day when Mohammad returned to school the teacher saw all of his bruises.

    “What happened to you, Frank?” she asked.

    “Well shortly after becoming Irish I was attacked by two friggin’ Arabs!”

    What’s good for the goose-steppers….

    Is it not astonishing the silence of the BBC, and all those who shout and scream about media independence and indeed campaigned vociferously to stop anyone with the slightest connection to the Tories having any position of power and influence at the BBC, when Polish national broadcasting is taken over by the EU’s puppet, Donald Tusk, who has replaced those in charge at the station with his own people…in order to impose ‘impartiality’.

    ‘Poland’s new government took a public news channel off the air on Wednesday and dismissed executives from state media to restore “impartiality”, the culture ministry said, as Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s reform drive faced its first big test.’

    The BBC, rather than suggesting this was something of a Stalinist coup against a free media, portrays it in a much more positive light…’reforms’ not a government coup attacking independent journalism…

    ‘Polish state TVP Info channel off air as Tusk reforms kick in’
    ‘Polish state TV channel TVP Info has been taken off air after Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s new government moved to depoliticise public media.

    Parliament in Warsaw backed a resolution on Tuesday night calling for independence, objectivity and pluralism in public TV and radio.’

    OK….let’s have that here…let Sunak take over the BBC…sorry, reform it…and hear them scream and shout as they don’t do in the Polish case.

    The irony is that the BBC will tell you that the Polish state media was a propaganda arm of the previous government…putting a positive spin on its messages and blocking other narratives…but if it did allow on an opposing voice they would give them little time and portray them in a negative and dismissive way…..hmmmm…isn’t that exactly how the BBC acts…over covid, climate, BLM, Trans etc etc etc? Should the BBC be shut down?

    Russell Brand might think so as he explains how the BBC has initiated a sinister and dangerous attempt to shut down all voices that it disagrees with claiming it is tackling disinformation and fake news…but is in fact using it to silence those who are critical of certain policies, opinions and values.

    ‘The Trusted News Initiative is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe ‘
    ‘TNI members work together to build audience trust and to find solutions to tackle challenges of disinformation. By including media organisations and social media platforms, it is the only forum in the world of its kind designed to take on disinformation in real time.’

    So much for independent media…as they all form a sinister cartel designed to shut down voices they don’t like….they decide what is ‘disinformation’ but they also decide what is just, in their opinion, ‘wrong thought’…….highly subjective and far from encouraging debate, diversity of opinion and the free flow of information the BBC and friends want to control what is said and thence how people perceive the world and act upon those perceptions. This is most obvious in the BBC’s attempts to erase White history and culture and replace it with Black, Trans propaganda.

    The BBC claims it is tackling social media but this is the BBC that tried to literally have News International closed down, that constantly attacks the Mail and ‘right-wing’media, and whose journalists openly try to have GB News shut down….whilst totally ignoring LBC which is as left-wing as you could go….but then so many of the BBC’s finest have jumped ship for the LBC pay-cheque ironically because they can be more biased and opinonated….something I thought the BBC was horrified about when it is a right-leaning station….but it’s OK with the lefty LBC…the Fox News for Stalinists you might say.

    The BBC’s News Quiz before Christmas even had a very humorous skit that said any of those old right-wing creeps that you didn’t want round your house for Xmas you could send to GBNews….like Farage or that toxic nazi Neil Oliver.

    Hmmmm…I have an alternate Christmas message….don’t want that creepy sex offender around your kids at Xmas, or don’t want a terrorist supporting journo munching your mince pies, or don’t want some puritanical climate ‘priest’ preaching to you over the turkey about using your car to get there or conspicuous consumption with all those presents for the kids[and you’ve got too many kids] or eating meat…nut rissoles instead of turkey next year!…send them to the BBC where they’ll all get a very warm reception and probably made guest editors of the Today show.

    If Polish national broadcaster can be taken over and shut down on the grounds that it is not impartial then so can the BBC.

    Grow a pair Sunak and do it.

    Will hotter heat pumps win over homeowners?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67511954

    The answer of course is no. But it doesn’t stop the BBC filling another lengthy, agenda based article with half-truths and innuendo by interviewing people whose income depends on us using them.

    The important bit is here:
    ‘Around 72,000 heat pumps were installed in the UK last year – a far cry from the 600,000 per year target set by the government.’

    Which is similar to another agenda-article:
    Motorway electric car charge point target missed, says RAC
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67858961

    An article with another fake Getty picture of a woman holding a charger in her car as if it is a petrol pump – with the subconcious inferrence that she’ll be done in a minute.

    If it were true to life, she would be in the cafe having just spent 10 quid on a coffee and a scone while she has to wait.

    But the important part there is:
    ‘The government wanted every motorway service station in England to have at least six rapid or ultra-rapid chargers by the end of 2023.’
    ‘However, only 46 of 119 sites now had six of these high-powered charging facilities in place.’

    We now live in an age where natures rules of supply-and-demand don’t apply. People with their own agendas are trying to force everything on us and using our tax money to do it. Meanwhile those canny enough to get into the business are greedily chasing that free cash.

    If the world was balanced and the world was trying to reduce that last 10% then I might understand it. But while all of our savings this year amount to a negligible difference but cost billions of pounds being thrown down black holes to try and force it, I’m afraid I’m out.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – what relevance is this to the UK?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/67856425 Unlike the story from Sydney recently, which helped to re-inforce the BBC’s message of Global Warming, this story about a female cyclist’s demise, although a tragedy for the family and friends provides nothing to a UK audience except, perhaps, cycle racing enthusiasts.

      I don’t suppose people who aren’t interested in cycle racing would be looking at the Sports/Cycling page would they? And if they see it on the general Sports page they are free to ignore it.

      Are you suggesting that those ( of us) who follow cycle racing shouldn’t be given news of their sport?

          It’s been a while since Melissa competed at the top level. I know of her mostly as the wife of Rohan Dennis, who is charged with causing her death. Rohan is a big cheese in the world of pro cycling, having won stages at all three Grand Tours (Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta a España) over the years. As a matter of fact I saw him in action, not six months ago, at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow.

          So, even if Melissa is no longer active, the fact that her husband, still hitherto a serious force in the sport, caused the death of his wife in a car accident is big news in the sport.

      That weird Labour’s gotcha is that Cleverly denies saying a particular swear word .. and they claim it was caught on microphone .. therefore it proves he’s a liar.
      When it comes to lying all citizens are sinners, and all politicians are frequent liars.. and swear like .. a lot.

      Labour accounts then put up tweets that play the audio
      alongside leading wording “see he says : because it’s a shith*le”
      Twitter has this problem in that cos something is written down in a tweet most people just assume the claim is true
      The bit is just after an MPs question and the words are all in background noise . You just can’t hear the words ” because it’s a”
      You can hear the word “sh!t”
      so the phrase could have been “cos you’re sh!t at being an MP” or something.

    No institution is safe as Ofsted crumbles before the onslaught…

    ‘Ruth Perry death: Ofsted needs more empathy, says new boss’

    The BBC will happily let people come on and lie that Ofsted reports are merely a single word and thus are not nuanced enough to give a full picture of how a school is coping. This is a total lie, naturally. There is a summing up of the whole perhaps judging the school ‘excellent’ or maybe ‘inadequate’ but there is a wide-ranging indepth report behind that….available for all to read.

    Perhaps the truth is that the sad death of Ruth Perry was more to do with her mental health and not the Ofsted report…and how can any such report take into account the mental health of the head teacher or others when making their judgement? Are they supposed to alter the assessment and produce one that is not totally honest in order not to hurt the feelings of the head? Perhaps the slide into inadequacy was a result of her mental health and inability to run the school as she did before. She wasn’t upset when they assessed her school with one word as ‘outstanding’ but was upset about the supposed one word assessment ‘inadequate’. The coroner claims that her mental health was fine before the inspection and suddenly she went into freefall because of it…somehow doubt that…she may not have sought help before but that doesn’t mean she was OK before. The coroner’s conclusion, and thus all the claims in the media etc, are based on a doubtful premise.

    https://www.judiciary.uk/prevention-of-future-death-reports/ruth-perry-prevention-of-future-deaths-report/

    Her death was weaponised by those with vested interests, the unions, to stop all inspections and assessments of teachers’ ability and performance….and the BBC allows them to push this narrative unchallenged presenting it as a legitimate argument when there is no merit at all to it. The Ofsted report was not the cause of her death…her mental health was the issue and that was more than likely an issue long before the report came out.

    Perhaps the BBC is to blame for her death, the BBC that campaigned hard for schools to close during covid and thus contributed to the problems schools have faced ever since…

    ‘There are also wider challenges about the inspection of schools, many of which are still dealing with the impact of the pandemic.

    Sir Martyn said some schools were struggling to deal with a high rate of pupils missing lessons and more difficult behaviour by pupils. ‘

    From what I’ve heard London’s runt mayor used it as yet another soviet style propaganda extravaganza, with the voice of our present king eulogising about diversity. Ye gods, I mean, WTF does Charlie know about “diversity”? He lives in a palace, behind 12-foot wrought iron fencing and protected day and night by armed soldiers. Now, if he resided in a council flat in enriched Peckham I might just listen to his words of wisdom. As it is…

    And on the very night when London was celebrating diversity, enrichment and vibrancy another young lad was stabbed to death.

    I have very little doubt that this lad’s death will be down to the very people that bring us diversity, enrichment and vibrancy.

      They are not targetting civilians. They are targetting Hamas who are using civilians as human shields. There is not a single word describing, condemning or even acknowledging what Hamas have done.

        I’m sorry John but that’s not true, the Israelis admit to targetting innocent civilians and that’s on the record. Dropping several bombs onto a refugee camp in the hope of killing a Hamas commander who it turned out wasn’t even there is a war crime.

        It doesn’t help anyones position to lie even if unintentionally 21 731 civilians are now dead in Gaza since 7th October, this includes 8 697 children and 4 410 women

        When Vladimir Putin launched his recent attacks on Ukrainian cities the idiotic Demonrats were up in arms until some of the press reminded them of Gaza.

        What happened on October 7th should never have happened at all, none of this should be necessary and there is some evidence to suggest it was all too convenient for Nettenyahu to turn a blind eye and allow it, instead of facing a court hearing and prison where he belongs.

        Israeli’s clearly hate Nettenyahu he has a 4% approval rating. The President of Israel Isaac Herzog claimed earlier this year that Israel was on the brink of civil war because of Nettenyahu

        https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-golden-path-after-weeks-long-effort-president-debuts-overhaul-compromise-offer/

        I as a non Muslim will proudly raise my hand and state ” The targeting of innocent civilians can never be excused or justified.”

        Perhaps John you will tell me the justification for the murder of children and women?

        Even America now is being forced to rein in the warmonger Nettenyahu. There is no excuse for what he is doing none what so ever, and you might feel that the elimination of Hamas and the loss of the Nation state of Israel and the slaughter of all the Jews there as a price worth paying, but I don’t and nor do the people of Israel.

            Ah there comes the legal point of proportionality and for that to be legal you have to have “reasonable certainty” that the person you are after is indeed in the place you are about to bomb.

            And that’s the rub because Israel did not have even any certainty the Commander was there, and it now turns out he wasn’t.

            That makes it a war crime.

            https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-bombs-refugee-camps-central-gaza-report/

            The camp was not in the North, and just because an attacking army tells you to move does not give them some God given right to murder anyone who does not obey them.

            BTW why can concrete building not be a refugee camp? If they house refugees then it’s a refugee camp! These camps have been set up by the UN to house refugees and there’s no way semantics can make this right.

            I stand with the people of Israel against the wholesale slaughter of innocent people. You appear to be standing with a derranged lunatic criminal who had it not been for this fortuotous war would now probably be in prison where he belongs.

            I want to see Israel survive, the actions of Nettenyahu look like destroying is so I ask again, is the destruction of Hamas worth the loss of the state of Israel and the slaughter of all the Jews there?

          There is none Thoughtful. And I don’t believe the Israelies murdered them.

          Hamas murdered them by deliberately fighting from hospitals, refugee camps, schools and residential areas. They WANT these people to die because they want all the other Muslim countries to be so outraged, they join in. Their own people !!. And if they were successful and won a war with Israel, you would see plenty of REAL murders very soon after that.

          And what is your alternative to what Israel are doing ?. Ask Hamas to promise not to do it again ?.

            No Hamas didn’t kill them Israel did. That’s like saying Ukraine murdered all the people killed in the latest Russian missile attacks because Kyiv launched missiles into Russia knowing what the consequences would be.

            The law says, and it is crystal clear, that you cannot just indiscriminately bomb civilians unless you have good solid proof a high value target is there.

            Israel did not have that proof and it used dumb bombs to do it making it a war crime.

            There is no argument here, it’s a war crime pure and simple, and if Putin had done it you would not be making this same argument.

            And what is your alternative to what Israel are doing ?.

            Firstly remove Nettenyahu from power, by force if necessary as many Israelis want.

            A Russia officer who had fought in Mariupol commented recently that the IDF were going to get slaughtered because they were going about it all wrong.
            Right from the get go the IDF has screwed up, thanks to poor levels of training and a commander in chief who is a bloodthirsty lunatic.

            Get in some trained people who are highly experienced in urban warfare and take their advice, because what the IDF are doing isn’t working.

            Have you any idea how many IDF are KIA? How many tanks they have lost and other fighting vehicles? They are losing this war against Hamas, which hasn’t been reported.

            But one thing above all you don’t do when fighting an enemy like HAMAS is to hand them victory which the derranged Nettenyahu has done.

            As for the Israelis, they support A WAR, they do not support the way Nettenyahu is prosecuting it, and that makes all the difference.

          I’m afraid to me no amount if handwringing re civilians getting in the way of Israeli troops chasing cowardly Hamas thugs will make me consider Israel’s attempts to snuff out this evil bunch of sub-humans anything other than inevitable war retaliation.

          Israel understands that light touch will never work with these people who would simply use it to regroup and continue their murderous Jihad.

          In short, the evil actions carried out by Hamas has left Israel with no other option than to wipe them out as quickly and thoroughly as possible. The alternative is to expose Israeli civilians to a future of continuing attacks by these barbarians.

          You cannot murder innocents with impunity and without warning then cry foul when the wind changes I’m afraid.

          Those Hamas “militants” were the enlisted army of The Hamas Government of Gaza and as such it represented a military attack on Israel by Gaza itself as a “nation”. Otherwise known as a declaration of war with all its horrible consequences.

                  They were also on a recconaisance mission and that was also succesful, capturing servers from an IDF intelligence base along with senior officers. In addition when the attack commenced Hamas destroyed all the surveillance towers on the borders, leaving Israel blind.

                  The worst part though is the number of warnings Israel had prior to the attack, and which it appears to have studiously ignored, almost to a wilful extent. The whole thing could have been nipped in the bud, but as we know it wasn’t.

    Sometimes the news is very complicated, we can see facts, but explanations are few and extremely difficult to make, so here are a couple of news items and you will have to interpret them as you will, but none of them appear to me to be very good news.

    https://abcnews.go.com/International/exclusive-us-bring-back-gerald-r-ford-aircraft-carrier-eastern-mediterranean/story?id=106021259

    US recalling it’s newest and largest carrier strike group from the med.

    The second piece of news is this:

    https://www.politico.eu/article/iran-warship-red-sea-suez-canal-yemen-houthi/

    Iran dispatched a naval frigate to the Red Sea amid an escalating standoff between Western nations and Tehran-backed militants that has seen maritime traffic attacked by drones, missiles and speedboats.

    None of this (IMHO) can be seen as good news. The Gerald R Ford group was supposed to be covering Israel in the event of an Iran / Iraq / Hezbollah attack on Israel, maybe the US is sending a signal to Nettenyahu to dial his warhawk ambitions down a notch.

    The Iranian frigate isn’t going to stand a chance against the Western naval forces in the Red Sea, but that wouldn’t stop it shooting down helicopters pursuing Hoothi speedboats or enabling them to hijack shipping in the region. It escalates tensions and will no doubt persuade shipping companies to avoid the route. Crews are reportedly demanding double pay for using the Suez canal already, and this means costs for the West are going to rise putting pressure on already faltering economies.

    Make of this what you will, I suppose we will never know exactly what the intentions of armed forces are until they actually do something.

    Get those stories in early …. HA HA HA HA

    Will Bill Clinton be on the Epstein list?
    The former US president is mentioned more than 50 times in the court documents, according to ABC News. But there is no implication of any illegality.

    He travelled on Epstein’s plane on humanitarian trips to Africa in the early 2000s and at the time praised Epstein as a committed philanthropist.

    Vile alternates her with YAB, Femi, Narinder, etc on his C5 ‘show’. No idea what happens on his BBC version, but producers know what their ‘stars’ like.

    Meanwhile the airwaves are alive to the sound of Husain, Myska and invitees like Champion….

    For those seeking insight beyond complexity, most heat-based or outright ideologically corrupted media are likely a poor place to go other than to stay aware of how low the west is being sunk from within.

    Regarding the fallacies we have to endure about electric cars, our local Tesco has reserved four spaces purely for charging electric vehicles, and it means that normal citizens with normal petrol or diesel cars can’t park there! And they’re the closest to the store, so normal citizens get that much wetter getting to their cars!

    Add to this, the reduction of several spaces has been made, so Tesco can operate their delivery vans for ‘click and collect’, so that’s another four spaces gone for a Burton!

    I suppose I should be asking Tunbridge Wells Borough Council why they’ve allowed these variations in planning permission for the correct number of parking spaces, but there again, I can’t waste three hours waiting for a snivelling moron to gibber on the phone for ten minutes…

    I bet in big urban supermarket stores, the problem is even worse, but as the loony green fanatics want all this crap, it should eventually be a voting issue, but does anyone else see this these days?

    I’d ask Beeboid Vitrify, but wouldn’t expect an answer…

      Hey Scrobes,

      The Sainsbury’s in Sevenoaks has eliminated the big recycling bins for click & collect.

      The local council doesn’t take glass in the recycling rubbish. The only alternative to throwing it away was to take the glass to one of those bins. That shows how committed to ‘green’ living they REALLY are.

      I’d just park in the EV spaces anyway. Or will they fine you?

      Scroblene,

      House insurance companies are starting to insist that EVs are charged 15m away from the house otherwise the insurance is invalid.

      Maybe get the Tesco manager to move the charging points the furthest away from the store – elf an safety and stuff!

    I see “the kiss that shook Spanish and global football” (in the BBC’s own words) is back in the news as a judge is deciding if the Spain FA president should be tried for sexual assault.

    “Ms Hermoso said she did not want to be kissed and that she felt that she had been a ‘victim of assault’. Under Spanish law a kiss without consent can be deemed a form of sexual assault.”

    I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that based on their coverage, the BBC are more outraged by this kiss than the rape and mutilation of young women by Hamas. “Her role in the controversy has made her a prominent public figure beyond the football world.” Because the media do so care about sexual assault.

    And here we go… “What if debt was written off to protect climate and nature?” Debt-for-climate swaps to switch to a green economy, all nicely facilitated by the UN and Credit Suisse.

    But this definitely has nothing to do with green bribes, Build Back Better or stakeholder fascism, all of which we know are conspiracy theories.

      Typical airhead Leftwing thinking, that money is somehow illusory and other peoples money doesn’t count for anything.

      Beliving in fairy stories like this is probably what enables them to state the rainbow unicorn is a real creature.

        More libmob casualties
        now Claudine Gay has been forced out as Harvard President after saying students calling for the genocide of Jews would only break the rules “depending on context.”
        Gay was one of three Uni presidents who made a disastrous appearance at a Congressional hearing where their replies were viewed as anti-Semitic.
        Gay follows Elizabeth Magill, the President of Penn University, who quit on December 11 as the storm broke.
        That only leaves Sally Kornbluth, the MIT president, as the only survivor. It can only be a matter of time before she goes.

    Lol….Liability Lineker won’t delete tweets when told to by the BBC but the BBC deletes a tweet when told to by Lineker.

    ‘The post was accompanied by an image of Rooney in a flat cap and suit, reminiscent of the hit show’s main cast – but it appeared to infuriate BBC employee Lineker, with the Match of the Day host replying to the message with the command: ‘Delete this.”

    Arrogance of the bloke…with no sense of humour.

    Delete Lineker I might suggest.

        Stew,
        You’re quite right, I watched the first episode and never went back to it.
        I’ve learnt my lesson since then, I didn’t bother at all with Steven Knight’s SAS series (whatever it was called) – with AC/DC and The Clash on the soundtrack.

    BBC News Webshite 4 hours ago.

    Sunderland footballer Jack Diamond ‘raped woman in his home’

    Not accused of, but actually ‘raped woman in his home’. When you read further it transpires that the woman claimed that she went to his house on her own for a cuddle. Agreed to climb into bed with him (probably can get a better cuddle that way).

    Okay he may be innocent, he may be guilty, but the way the Bullshit Corp report the headline “Sunderland footballer Jack Diamond ‘raped woman in his home” makes readers think that it is proven.

    At the very end of the report it says the trial continues.

    That said, I suppose he must be guilty as she was not underage, he doesn’t live in West Yorkshire and he is the right colour (white) and so should be found guilty whether he did it or not. It would appear that he didn’t want to pass her around to his cousins. Another sign of guilt.

    Keep up the good work BBC, being very selective with what you report and with what you don’t report.

    Not seen this before[from a year ago]but it blows the Markle lie out of the water about a royal racist…..or does it? Seems it was Harry all along as he proclaims ‘…the ginger gene is a strong one, the Spencer gene is very, very strong….I genuinely thought if we had kids my genes would never stand up to my wife’s genes….go gingers!’. [37 minutes into video].

    And yet how many times do we still hear the smear about the others in the Royal family via the likes of the BBC?

    Lol…must have been asleep this time last year….was starting to think maybe it was an AI Deepfake but it was in most of the papers….but no Google link to any BBC report….funny that huh?

    From The Mirror…

    ‘ In the early stages of their relationship, Prince Harry fantasised about what his children with Meghan Markle would look like, although he’s admitted he didn’t expect them to be ginger.

    The Duke of Sussex thought there was “no way” his genes would stand up against 41-year-old Meghan’s.

    “I actually really thought in the beginning of my relationship, should this go the distance and we have kids, there is no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes,” he told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. ‘
