M spring has a new entry on her CV – this one is a very long and tedious victim piece in the DT today – I can’t be asked to read it as feel she is just a vacant self promoter ( is that ‘hate ‘?) –
Anyway – surprisingly the DT allowed comments – which as might be expected tell her to grow up … she boasts about the number of death threats she gets as well as trolls ….
Sign of the times that someone so in love with themselves and driven – should get so much attention … maybe it’s the tight sweater …
As usual with this clueless vapid waste of space – it is all about me,me,me,me.
Spring’s DT piece

Did you have a look at the Hamas data centre in tunnels under UNRWA building in Gaza.
Thought not.
It is my understanding that BBC staff are not in Gaza.
BBC Verify staff seldom get out of a cubicle.
Guest, no but the BBC do have Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip who are all on speed dial to say how bad the Palestinian casualties are and it is all the fault of Israel.
“I received 11,771 abusive messages and death threats – but it hasn’t stopped my pursuit of conspiracy theorists

‘What about Germany!?’ Jeremy Vine shut down after blaming Brexit for UK recession https://express.co.uk/news/uk/1867045/jeremy-vine-brexit-uk-recession-germany <Vine is a joke.
Of course the streak of limp string is; he's BBC thru and thru like a stick of rock to mix analogies, pushing politicised ideology on favoured topics all the time.
As do they all. Japan is in recession too. The BBC goes no where near anything in Rafah that spoils the narrative. And they all try to play it out on Twitter with their thug Kapos.

But this is actually one of those old chestnuts which gets recycled every couple of years by the climate alarmists, desperate for publicity and funding. The notion that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), or ‘Gulf Stream’ in popular parlance, is about to collapse has no scientific evidence. Forget the claims of studies claiming to go back hundreds or thousands of years – detailed, credible measurements only started in 2001. Even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) dismisses it:
“It is very unlikely that the AMOC will undergo a large abrupt transition during the course of the 21st century.” – IPCC 4th Assessment Report, 2007.
They repeated that sentiment in the 5th Assessment Report in 2013 and again in the 6th Assessment Report in 2021. In fact, the 6th report concluded “There is no observational evidence of a trend in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), based on the decade-long record of the complete AMOC and longer records of individual AMOC components.”
The full IPCC reports are actually much more cautious and restrained than you might think. The problem is that the politicians and media tend to only read the short summary section and then cherry pick the more speculative and worse case items, whilst disregarding any of the qualifying notes and references.
My mind immediately went back to a Peter Sellers LP record and the track ‘Balham: Gateway to the South’ (it may be available on uChoob) and the segment where Peter is playing the waitress responding to to a customer’s request for food saying “Sorry luv, bacons orff”.
Apparently, the Climate Cultists have decide that “Global Warmings orff.”
PETER SELLERS – ‘Balham – Gateway To The South’ – 1958
“Indian police have used tear gas and water cannon for a second day to stop farmers demanding minimum crop prices from marching on the capital Delhi. The capital is ringed by razor wire, cement blocks and fencing on three sides to block their entry.”
It must be another coincidence, because any idea it’s related to anti-farmer policies being implemented around the world is a conspiracy theory.

I bet the Home Office has no stats on employment antics of the cross channel boaters.
From here
However, that does not necessarily support a rush to employ migrants – not least because, if one consults the detailed employment statistics, for unemployed, economically active people, they present an interesting picture.
Of all the groups, one finds that the highest unemployment rates are amongst the Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups (9 percent), with the blacks close behind (7 percent). The white British have the lowest unemployment rate (3 percent), lower than any other group.
These figures, though, are for 2022 and they do not tell the whole story. Currently, more than 5 million people are now on out-of-work benefits, up from 3.5 million back in 2015. Additionally, the ONS reports 2.8 million of employment age who are neither in work nor looking for a job because of long-term sickness.
According to NIESR, claimants are typically spending longer on benefits, rather than snapping up the jobs on offer, despite the 6.5 percent increase in average pay in the year to November. But, even if that is true, the increases in mortgages, rents, and cost-of-living – particularly energy – has for many people outweighed any pay rises.

When Vladimir Putin says publicly that a President Biden is better for Russia than a President Trump keep in mind: the Kremlin will be well aware that, right now, any public endorsement by Putin of a US politician does that politician no favours.
#CCBGB
https://x.com/citizenjournos_/status/1758154255146377505?s=20
So if Putin says he would prefer Trump then that makes Trump a Putin puppet. But when Putin says that he would prefer Biden then he is trying to hurt Biden?
The luxury that propagandists like you have Steve is that no matter the facts you’ll make them fit any given narrative.
No doubt Sopes can explain.
So the BBC have been obliged to get rid of another hate-filled Muslim over disgusting online messages against Jews.
It makes me pretty convinced that this pure hatred and vengeance by Muslims is actually directed at any non-Muslim as a matter of course and it is only bubbling to the surface against Jews with the excuse of Gaza.
Sooner or later it must surface as outright violence, so entrenched in their medieval religion they are. Christians are pretty much guaranteed to be one of the next targets.

Meet Nawaf Salam of Lebanon. He’s the objective and impartial President of the International Court of Justice.

Interesting. Doesn’t object to the illegal Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus, for example. Only focused on Israel. Speaks volumes.
BBC tucked that gem away. Too.
It’s like the establishment… political, judiciary, popo, media, are rammed with folk in key positions.
Good job Starmer, Reeves are ramming Twitter with BBC Politics pleasers.
https://x.com/mishtal/status/1758080456484868268?s=61
So the ICJ, which is investigating Israel, is led by Nawaf Salam.Nawaf Salam is from Lebanon.
Lebanon is at war with Israel and CURRENTLY breaking international law by firing rockets at it.
And everyone carries on as if this farce has legitimacy.
The world is insane.
Seems newsworthy. Odd it has not come up more.

I think the UN is a branch of Hamas in that region …
Fed, I think you are right. and, Guest, I think South Africa is bringing this case at the ICJ against Israel purely as a distraction from what is happening in South Africa and also as a distraction from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s incompetence.
That the ICJ is complicit as well as compromised shows them to be yet another entity only a bbc editor could cite as an authority on anything. Oh, and most pea brained western pols.

Gaza vs. NHS
David May’s claim
actually The actual number of hospitals in the UK, correct as at August 2023, is 1148
930 NHS hospitals, and 218 private
so one for every 59K people
Stew, too ‘wow’ to be true. UK population is ‘officially’ somewhere near 69,000,000. You are quoting the population figure much nearer to the 2021 ‘official’ figures. You need to be more up-to-date. Not only did the ONS state on 31 January that the UK population would be over 70 million by 2026 but former President Trump said in reply to a question at a Republican rally on 11 February prior to the Republican Primary that he would say “Russia should do whatever they want” if NATO members did not contribute to the NATO strength or words to that effect. So I was right, you were wrong.
Are you going to apologise, Stew?
Lol

A lovely puff piece supporting the Met police in their quest not to find Ezidi, alkali-man. Thought to have fallen in the river, we may never find him, blah blah. Very unusual to find a body so quickly!! So don’t dare think that London is a crime ridden shit hole and the Thames is full of bodies! Of course the diver in question is a woman, despite the photo looking like a bloke. Maybe it’s one of those women.
Looks like president trump could be the first president to be elected whilst in prison following the coming guilty verdict in a New York kangaroo court with a fixed judge and jury – if the election wasn’t already fixed of course …
I’m quite surprised they are allowed to prosecute nominee candidates like this in the run up to en election.
I suppose in the past they have both been honourable enough not to do it.
I don’t know which is the most shameful : the fact they are doing it or the fact the MSM (especially public funded ones who have a mandate to be unbiased and impartial) are allowing them to do it unchallenged.
Excellent news – the bbc and itv have lost the rights to show live FA cup footy matches …. No more will suffer the ‘major of the cup cliche ‘…. See the DT below if you care ….
STARTS The BBC and ITV have lost the rights to the FA Cup to TNT Sports and now face a fight to sub-let them from the pay-TV network.
The world’s oldest cup competition will go back behind a paywall – at least in part – from the season after next after Warner Bros Discovery struck a four-year deal with the Football Association to show a record number of ties.
It included a commitment to make matches from every round free-to-air, either in partnership with a terrestrial channel or via its own platforms.
Telegraph Sport has been told sub-letting those rights to the BBC or ITV is the most likely outcome, which would mean one of them losing coverage of one of sport’s crown jewels and one of their few live football properties.
Discovery’s deal is similar to that which saw it snatch the exclusive rights to the Olympics from the BBC almost a decade ago, since when it has entered into a partnership with the corporation.
The new FA Cup contract will see every match from the third round onwards televised live except those played during the Saturday 3pm blackout.
The deal also includes the rights to the Community Shield and the FA Youth Cup semi-finals and final.
Mark Bullingham, FA chief executive, said: “The Emirates FA Cup is our crown jewel, and it helps us to provide vital investment across every level of English football, supporting clubs, communities, facilities and the wider grassroots game. Every season, and across every round, The Emirates FA Cup creates incredible moments and unforgettable memories for fans, and this new partnership will see selected matches shown live on TNT Sports, as well as free-to-air, from the first round of the competition through to the final at Wembley Stadium.
“TNT Sports are an outstanding broadcaster with an impressive record of showing some of the biggest and best sporting events around the world, so we are delighted to be working with them on our shared commitment and long-term vision that will ensure the Emirates FA Cup continues to thrive over the coming years.”
Andrew Georgiou, president and managing director Warner Bros Discovery UK & Ireland and WBD Sports Europe, said: “TNT Sports is proud to partner with the FA to present more matches of the world’s most prestigious domestic cup competition than ever before alongside our great line up of the Premier League and Uefa Champions League and club competitions, bringing even more live football to our TNT Sports customers.
“The Emirates FA Cup and the incredible stories it creates every season goes well beyond football, making TNT Sports the perfect home as we continue to tell the stories that matter most to the fans. We have a huge amount of respect for the place that this world-famous competition has in the hearts of football fans and that’s why continuing to ensure we maintain a level of free-to-air coverage is important for us and the FA.”ENDS

Ursula von der Braindead has told the EU she wants them to subsidise ‘defence’ manufacturing. I find this staggering given the state of the Eurozone economies and she must be living on a different planet to the rest of us given Germanys current economic hell.
The Eurozone is 12260558 EUR Million in debt as of 2022 and it’s not going to get any better.
The apprentice, a British show, only 50% of the contestants are anything like natural British and one of whom turns, out to be a radically jew hating Muslim.

Wake up British people, these twats are undermining your relevance as British people.
Otherwise it can only end in bloodshed.

BBC Verify: What we can see in video from Nasser hospital raid
Reporting reaches a whole new level.
lol Guest, just been watching that.
If I went into any professional company and someone like that girl started talking to me like that, I would instantly think ‘Get me someone who knows WTF they are talking about’. She smacks of a quota idiot reading a script. Or is it just chance she’s a BAME female ?.
The bit which irks me about BBC Verify is how they totally avoid the real questions. In this case, was the IDF fighting Hamas or not ?. All this video does is confirm the IDF are going in using information from the the most biased sources possible.
And right at the end this clueless women tells us how Israel CLAIM that Hamas are using the hospital ‘without supplying any evidence’.
After ALL we have seen and ALL the other places + hospitals we have PROOF Hamas was using, how dare these people try to infer that it’s not true.
The main use of this article is to prove how ‘BBC Verify’ has been manned up by all the quota staff who are clearly such low-grade, they can’t be given any real reporting to do. Here are the names of those involved in that journalistic masterpiece:
Soraya Auer
Jemimah Herd
Peter Mwai
Emma Pengelly
Richard Irvine-Brown
Kumar Malhotra
Alex Murray
Daniele Palumbo
How many white British males in there do you think ?.
I thought 2 until I checked Alex Murray:
What an appalling racist/sexist joke the BBC has become.
Deputy Senior District Judge Tanweer Ikram, a Moslem was responsible for trying three women in the ‘paraglider’, pro Gaza protest. He managed to convict them of a terror offence but seemed to forget about punishment. A couple of serious points arise.
A Civil Servant would have allocated that case to him. One might speculate about that Civil Servant.
The CPS are entitled to appeal verdicts and sentences in criminal cases. One might wonder why that hasn’t happened.
Meanwhile David Cameron is bragging that “”We have found homes for 300,000 Ukrainians and a solid future for them in the UK”
Ukrainians aren’t waiting in the housing queue like UK natives it seems.
He and Bojo are thoroughly commited to Ukraine. They behave and speak as if they are acting on behalf of the UK but they don’t.
Why Russia’s Putin backing Biden for the US presidency is not what it seems
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68303231
The moment I saw Putins comments supporting Biden, it was clear why he is saying them. America has become a laughing stock on the world stage and the country is close to civil war with the wedge they have driven through society. If they succeed in their attempts to remove him from the race, I strongly suspect it will result in violence.
So I read the BBC article to see if they go anywhere near that. Of course they don’t. They actually suggest Putin said it because he knows everybody hates him so much, it will help Trump.
Pathetic biased BBC ‘journalism’ once again.
Stevo Rosencrank was put back in his box on this earlier.
Jonathan Engler who is unvaccinated against covid was very surprised to find out according to his medical records that he had been vaccinated three times in different locations:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/a-crime-has-been-committed/
The comments are hilarious. One suggesting that according to the NHS he should have had a stroke, two heart attacks, and turbo cancer by now. Another commentator suggesting he should demand his money back as he did not get what he paid for.
In one of the appointments Engler was not even in the country and has a flight to prove it.
Kingswood By-election result. Labour beat the Tories to win the seat.
Significantly the Reform candidate came in third with over ten percent of the vote. That is much better than expected.
Initially, Reform had decided not to stand a candidate. The person or persons who made that decision need to admit they got it badly wrong. Reform have to be more adventurous.
I see Farage moaning in the Express that Labour and Tories have lots of people on the ground to get their voters out. Of course, they do, Nigel, they don’t destroy their own party when things don’t go well as you did Ukip. They know that they have to ride the storm out. Even the stupid Greens haven’t made that mistake.
I hope Reform members, whoever they are, are planning long term. It could become a real force.
Update,
Labour have humiliated the Tories in Wellingborough winning with 45.9 percent. The Tories got 24.6 percent.
The only good news is that Reform came in third with a respectable 13 percent.
I sort of hoped Ben Habib would come second but I’m sure reform is on the way up if they continue to fight.
I will of course vote Reform at my next opportunity but I think that the overthrow of the LibLabCon coalition will depend on how things develop in Europe and US politics.
If there is a strong swing to the right in Europe later this year and if Trump wins a second term , then we will have a much more favourable climate for Reform to gain widespread support in the UK. LibLabCon will have fewer friends and many more enemies overseas and its Islamophilia will look increasingly absurd as Europe cracks down hard on Islam.
It will be clear to all that the neo liberalism and hyperglobalism can be beaten and that in the UK , despite having recently elected a Labour government , we need to follow suit . That will create a much more favourable electoral climate for Reform at elections post Nov 2024.
It would be funny if not the teensiest bit tragic and horrifying.

This woman is who Biden sent to Congress as an expert on giving Palestinians their own country as a reward for the October 7 massacre and the hostage crisis that followed and continued to be ongoing.
5 Americans remain hostage in Gaza.
Making KJP seem a political sage is quite the feat.
One dreads to think the calibre of exchange in the HoC with the latest SNP ploy to keep Hummer’s masters in Qatar happy.
An interesting perspective, pug. You have to figure in the lower overall turnout, though.
That the mass of potential voters is not willing to swallow the Labour nonsense is encouraging. Sadly to defeat the looming socialist/Islamic victory at the polls later this year the reluctant voters must be encouraged to turn out and save themselves.
Can we see Rishi Sunak providing the inspiration? Not a dog’s show. The Tories can only save themselves by ditching him pronto and replace him with an energetic populist who will espouse most of the views that Reform are putting forward! I doubt that will happen.
For sensible people the only other show in town will be Reform.
Ride the wave folks.
A very disappointing pair of election results because –
1 turn out was above 30% I was hoping lower
2 reform only came third
3 the blue labour didn’t lose their deposits
4 people are still voting for blue labour
I think I read yesterday that 58 blue labour MPs are standing down to take their golden goodbyes next time – I hope there will be a lot more ….
I was thinking about my position – and what blue labour has done for me . The answer is – nothing – all it has done is put up my taxes . So why would I vote for a deceitful bunch of socialists?
It’s a pity ‘reform ‘didn’t keep the UKIP name because it is lousy at marketing – but perhaps the msms bares lone responsibility for that .

According to the Gospels, the Sanhedrin, an elite council of priestly and lay elders, arrested Jesus during the Jewish festival of Passover, deeply threatened by his teachings. They dragged him before Pilate to be tried for blasphemy—for claiming, they said, to be King of the Jews.6 Mar 2019

Marky – I reckon that tick box Tory doesn’t have all his tickets …
The BME has an excited ‘Labour does the double’ trying to spin the fact that politics as it is now is done.

Yes but, we hate them all.
And no amount of compromised overpaid bbc chumps will change that.
By Election results:
Smarmer…….Zero credibility
Labour Shadow Cabinet…..Zero credibility
Labour………Zero credible policies
Labour agendas…..To destroy Britain
People still vote for them!
But flotsam – those 5 points apply equally to blue labour …..which cannot do anything to save itself – it’s now saying Hunt can’t cut 2p of income tax … something I’d not seen mentioned anywhere …. I guess they don’t realise it’s over and the Tory party will extinguish itself because it went red – all those benefits thrown at people won’t buy votes . Just dumb .
BTW – I know I keep using ‘blue labour ‘ – which is tedious – but it it neither Tory or conservative – so it is what it is – whatever the hell that means ….
It’s the battle for the central ground. The problem is that ground has moved well to the left. The situation was created the BBC and MSM by making huge numbers of people dependant on State handouts and all those public sector jobs created by Bliar’s New Labour
Instead of MAD sprees trying to buy votes, court already corrupted media and sway ideologues the parties could have attempted to try and lead the country.
But they didn’t. So the current one self immolated and the replacement is self dooming, probably quicker and less pleasantly. The bbc is going to need a bigger bunker under W1A.
How big is that bunker?
Who gets in? Botney? Springster? Timmeh! The weather girl?
Or will there be space as the cubicle gardens are busy going floor by floor?
The medical profession seems well represented.

Zionism started in the UK
So its only natural that the Zionist lobby in this country is very strong
Ever since I got announced as a candidate on the show, they’ve tried to demonise me
Sending multiple hate messages across platforms
They think they can shake us
We are Muslims
This ‘we’…..?
“If you are a white, middle aged, middle class consultant you can keep your job despite despite being a certified nonce.

Starmer – net zero stance on men can have penis.
‘…they seem to be totally detached from reality.’
More like they were treacherous greedy ambitious lowlife who thought they had a chance to be PM. Men such as Javid and Sunak who promised senior positions to others if they went along with it.
I hate to say it but the Tories are getting everything they deserve. Let’s just hope the coming disaster of Starmer in charge and Lammy being allowed to make decisions is not as bad as it might be.
johnC..
My MP is one of the scum bag treacherous parasites.
She was one of the 50 or so MP’s that resigned the day Boris got ousted and she had the cheek to go on FB and blame Boris putting her in that posision of having to resign. I actually wrote to her to remind her nobody made her resign it was her choice.
I met her recently and asked her did she regret resigning and ousting Boris, the idiot giggled and walked away.
They are all going to get what they deserve..

One of the reasons I really hope blue labour is ended is that I want to see a true right wing set of representatives to form up . My big worry is that once labour gets in they will fix the electoral system to ensure we live for ever in their real socialist state … I’d leave the UK then – and easily find a better country …
I wanted to see that voting thing they do where ‘if the result is repeated in the general election – what s the result ?’
Fedup2….
Im just staggered had detatched from reality the Tory party are.
As i said, they will get what they deserve and good riddance
Can I suggest Gibraltar? I’d go in a heartbeat if I was younger. All that sun and I hear the healthcare is excellent too- no ptobs seeing a doctor !
You’re very generous if you believe that just losing their seat is all that they deserve.
John C….Oh it will be, and my crumb of comfort will be that I didn’t vote for them, while those that did will be holding their head in their hands and wondering what the hell have they done !
Yes @Pug I checked Twitter this morning, it was clear the story was voters stayed away
Labour have no mandate cos in both by-elections hardly any new people voted for them
whilst clearly a lot of Tory voters stayed away
and a surprisingly large number stayed with them and failed to switch to reform.
Yet at the 9am the Red-io Humberside news was
‘our glorious Labour have won 2 resounding victories and are preparing for government’
Seriously they said Labour had turned a Tory majority into a Labour majority
and failed to mention low voter turnout.
Dickie – stop putting up posts which are just links – is that to an anti semitic website ? If it is – please leave this site ….or you will be removed ….
A WARNING
Not the old anti Semitic trope.
Go ahead and feel free to remove me.
Why have the Tories chosen to maintain high levels of illegal migration when it is clear that it will cost them an election victory?
Cheap labour equals good business returns for 650 MPs!

YOUR COMPLAINT as of 2018:
Complaint Summary: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
Full Complaint: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed (May and Corbyn’s old speeches): everything else is public relations.” – Orwell
Theresa May … being put forward as Prime Minister and issuing a general election on implementing Brexit which was about immigration and sovereignty. … these speeches were never mentioned on the BBC £3.5bn news or other media outlets …
1978 … “The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.” – Margaret Thatcher 1978
2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012
2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015
Jeremy Corbyn … with all the news on BBC £3.5bn Service regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal, Jeremy Corbyn has not been asked why he backs Al Quds protests and has spoken at them or why his is not vocal on Iran’s ‘death to’ position with Israel.
2012 … Jeremy Corbyn speaks at Al Quds march, Al Quds is the protest for all the oppressed but was initiated by an oppressor Ayatollah Khomeini. Jeremy Corbyn does not chastise the Iranian regime.
2018 … Iran release a ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America’ Government approved emoji. But this is not mentioned when talking about Iran by the BBC or other outlets.
MPs expenses …. it was in 2008 that MPs used expenses to fill their own pockets or shredded. UK MPs on both sides have talked about reducing expenses and recession and austerity. Yet, since 2010 MPs have enjoyed a pay increased of 18%. How come the BBC news has not reported on this when talking to MPs?
“The omission is the most powerful form of lie, and it is the duty of the historian to ensure that those lies do not creep into the history books.” – George Orwell
BBC NONE RESPONSE …
Thank you for getting in touch regarding BBC News.
I understand you have concerns about the integrity of BBC News reporting over the last few years.
BBC News aims to show the political reality and provide a forum for discussion on issues, giving full opportunity for all sides of the debate to be heard and explored. Senior editorial staff within BBC News and the BBC’s Executive Board ensure that editorial guidelines are adhered to.
Our News editors ensure that over a reasonable period of time we reflect the range of significant views, opinions and trends on particular issues, but it’s important to add here that our published Editorial Guidelines explain that not every issue or viewpoint necessarily has to be included in each individual report.
The key point is that the BBC as an organisation has no view or position itself on anything we may report upon – our aim is to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of our audiences.
In dealing with any controversial issue, we are required to give a fair and balanced report, but balance cannot be judged simply on the basis of the amount of time allocated to the representatives of either side of an argument. One spokesperson may make their points concisely, while another needs rather longer to explain a point of view or a complex issue, plus a change to the existing position or status quo may take longer to clarify.
Account also needs to be taken of the way a subject is covered over a period of time; perfect balance is difficult to achieve on every single individual occasion, while overall it is a more achievable goal taking into account our coverage as a whole over a period of time.
That said, we do value your feedback about this issue. All complaints are sent to senior management every morning and I included your points in this overnight report.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind regards

GRETA to visit country and protest?
NO?
One of the worst methane leaks ever recorded took place last year at a remote well in Kazakhstan, new analysis shared with BBC Verify has shown.
It is estimated that 127,000 tonnes of the gas escaped when a blowout started a fire that raged for over six months.
Methane is much more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Buzachi Neft, the company that owns the well, denies a “substantial amount” of methane was leaked.
Funny how biggest recorded Methane “leak” off the coast of Denmark / Sweden doesn’t get much play from the Greta crew or the BBC these days…
– so it wasn’t methane pollution but combustion products – utter clueless jerk credentials on show at BBC Verify then.
That Kazakh leak was “It is estimated that 127,000 tonnes of the gas escaped”
IS THAT A BIG NUMBER ?
Annual world LNG is 400 million
so the leak is less than a 3,000th of LNG alone
“global production of natural gas is forecast to increase by approximately two percent in 2023 to reach 4.1 trillion cubic meters.”
each billion is 1.36million tonnes
so 4100x 1.36= 5576 million tonnes
So the leak is one 44,000th of world annual gas production
Actual methane to atmosphere significantly lower than claimed.
An old trope, doubtless impacted by several LNG projects in Nigeria on stream in the last 10 years – but – the oft quoted metric of Nigeria flaring / burning in 28 days more Methane than the entire United Kingdom’s consumption of that gas for all purposes stands as far as I can tell. To mention it though – that’s racist. The ISS astronauts were told to stop photographing and commenting on Nigerian gas flaring ?
But that doesn’t stop the claims like the Kazakhstan pant wetting from the usual suspects….
The BBC is all in on Arthur Engoron and Letitia James lawfare scam.
PUTRID
“Verdict?” – they *declared* DJT et al guilty without evidence before the court case. Engoron + James deserve nothing less that jail imho.
9:45am TalkTV quoted a source saying the case is a hiding to nothing, cos it’s almost certain Trump will not be convicted.
Stew,
iirc DJT is already “guilty” – most of the lawfare palaver is about how best to damage him and his kin financially.
The BBC goons pleasuring themselves rabbiting on about the amount of the fine is what I find the most objectionable – especially since they’ve selectively reported on the matter for months.
I pray Trump wins and unleashes his mighty wrath against the whole corrupt establishment. Hopefully, the tailwind might even reach these shores.
pug, the problem is with ‘recession’ that it is itself based on two quarters of GDP which is difficult in its own way to measure and may be revised up to three times, if my memory is correct.
I have a dream …
The next PM is going to be another sodding lawyer (remember the nightmare of the B Liar years?). Wilders can then pull some strings and get him banned from the Netherlands.
After all the Liebour party has been found to be ‘institutionally racist’ and specifically anti-semitic.
UK’s new PM….

bumped into prepper-man yesterday
“What about New York those young illegals who beat up cops to death, were let free by judges and laughed about it ?”
.. As ever when I checked America is a weird place where people on both sides prefer simple stories rather than complex truth
Musk did reference the incident
“As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported!!”
https://nypost.com/2024/01/30/metro/cops-beaten-by-rowdy-migrant-mob-in-caught-on-video-assault-near-times-square-and-suspects-later-freed-without-bail/
.. https://nypost.com/2024/02/03/metro/migrants-from-city-shelters-wreak-havoc-on-times-square/
Yes there is video of officers getting beaten , and officer lying on the ground as kids get a few kicks in.
But the police bodycam has a strange cut in the middle as if the kids just suddenly jumped them.
So the lefties then jump in and make an extreme claim
“NY police lied and deceptively edited video to make it look like they were assaulted by Latino youth, when in fact they assaulted the youth unprovoked and his friends responded in kind.”
.. https://twitter.com/Johnnthelefty/status/1756014221962428577
When you piece it altogether
NY decided to run a huge homeless centre in Times Square, Candler Building
There had been allegations of shoplifting spree ..
A gang of illegal youths are hanging around the building almost blocking the street, they need clearing.. but just two cops turn up
The kids are belligerent but slowly most move away,
Yellow jacket (Yohenry Brito 24) is the last he does start to move away but pauses at a baby buggy he never touched before, One cop pounces on him and drags him into the corner of a doorway
Dunno if words happened or whether he suspected stolen goods etc,
The kid starts flaying the other cop tries to help him
The youths turn around and start on the cops one falls to the ground, the kids get away
No one talks about the cops injuries as if it’s not so serious, but the video goes viral
Kids mostly flee on busses to California
Some kids are caught, but the court lets them out without bail. They seem super belligerent as they exit one giving the finger
That goes viral.
A church posts $15K bail for Yohenry Brito, so he is free too
Two weeks later one of the kids Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, is arrested again
This time for being in a 4 man shoplifting gang at Macy’s
I’ve missed Asiseeit today ?
