It seems the Director General of the BBC is consulting on future financing of the BBC . Consultation traditionally comprises a tick box disregard of unapproved comments or views – so our long war to end the Far Left Anti British BBC is a long long fight .

In case anyone is still in the slightest doubt that we are facing nothing less than a takeover of our country by muslims, here they are openly admitting to it and planning the mechanisms for the overthrow, including the infiltration of our military and other institutions, and and the pressurised conversion of our children in our schools.
Dahwah, by the way, means ‘invitation’ or ‘summons’, i.e. conversion to islam.
WAKE UP BRITAIN
I am educated by the UK and taxpayer.
I use tolerance and freedom to spread hatred of the UK.
I go on the welfare system whilst I hate the UK, being paid by the taxpayer.
I tell BBC’s Stacey Dooley I will not follow UK laws.
I get 2 years and 6 months being looked after by prison guards, paid by the taxpayer.
I get released 2 and a half years early for hating the UK.
The UK taxpayer pays £2 million to watch me with 23K other terrorists.
If you disagree you are Islamophobic and Sajid Javid will arrest you.
.. Anjem Choudary mocks the tolerance of the West ..
People like it. The bribing of the low paid political elites in this country means that they can keep paying them the lowest salaries in the Western world, and that is what matters more to them.
Give people a chance pay politicians the going rate or allow others to do so and Islamise the country they will choose Islamisation every time.
Don’t forget he who pays the piper calls the tune!
Are you saying that the politicians who get paid today are better than the unpaid ones of yesteryear who ran a quarter of the world ?
Unpaid ones of yesteryear? How far back are you going? To the time of King John?
The first Prime Minister Rober Walpole in 1721 was able to build this substantial pile with his earnings:
Subsequent PMs were equally well rewarded in fact I cannot recall a time in the past 300 years when they were not and that covers the time of the British Empire.
The current PM useless as he is, is paid just 1/3rd of what Winston Churchill received, that I think puts in in persective, and when you consider it’s about the same as the salary of the DG of the BBC 1/3rd as much.
MPs didn’t get a wage until 1911 .
Now they also receive generous pensions , allowance and expenses .
If the office of Prime Minister were to be given the renumeration that you propose , who would you say would take the job ?
Well in 2017 Douglas Murray brought out his book The Strange Death of Europe, and it was a very enlightening read. He was on the

BIDEN CONSIDERING GRANTING AMNESTY, HANDING OUT GREEN CARDS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS (Daily Caller)
President Joe Biden is currently considering granting amnesty to illegal migrants in a bid to act on the worsening immigration crisis, according to Politico.
Biden and his administration are weighing several ideas to take a tougher stance on the southern border crisis and illegal immigration amid criticisms he has thus far failed to act on either. The administration could start dolling out green cards to illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the United States, thereby giving them amnesty to stay in the country, three people familiar with the planning told Politico.

“green cards to illegal immigrants”
….
Chancellor Rishi Sunak held a US green card – allowing permanent residence in that country – while he was chancellor, his spokeswoman has said. He returned it in October last year, ahead of his first American trip as a UK government minister.8 Apr 2022
And making them lifelong Democrat voters, Biden hopes.
Do you think Biden’s mental state is capable of sustaining “hope” for more than a few seconds?
Hope for who? China Russia and the BRICS nations for sure !
@tomo – By ‘Biden’, I mean Obama.
That’ll be the end of him and his party for many years. The Demonrats are like Labour here, run and supported by crazy wealthy out of touch liberals and voted for by the working class and poor deceived into believing that the party represents them.
Giving the unskilled migrants green cards to take other peoples jobs is pretty much what happened in Britain when the EU opened the borders to Eastern Europeans. They took many of the jobs and people quickly resented it, Brexit was the result of stupid liberal do gooding and it will be no different here.
I wonder if any of Khant’s erstwhile colleagues are already filling in legal aid applications?
I reviewed the video footage of the usual suspect with the huge knife, and I am struck by the utter stupidity of people.
The nearest to him is a young Black male who is more interested in spectating than getting out of the way.
There is a brain dead bald White male trying to ignore the whole thing, but there is plenty of room and time for him to get up and move to a safer place. What was he waiting for? His turn because he wouldn’t have been able to defend himself if the Black had decided no witnesses.
Then there’s the screaming woman who was the only one to intervene albeit by screaming at him to stop and then phoning the Gestapo at the top of her lungs, apparantly the thought the Black might have been incentivised to come and stop her never entered into her mind!
Then there’s the unseen loon videoing the whole ghastly incident on his phone, at least he’s a good way back and using the zoom, but again he is a prime target as a witness gathering evidence which could be used as evidence.
What is wrong with people? It’s said the vaccine and lock down wiped around 40 points off their IQ and it’s apparant when walking around anywhere people are thick!
That would put many people into a single figure IQ.

Coal power in China is electricity generated from coal in China and is distributed by the State Power Grid Corporation. It is a big source of greenhouse gas emissions by China.
China’s installed coal-based power generation capacity was 1080 GW in 2021,[1] about half the total installed capacity of power stations in China.[2] Coal-fired power stations generated 57% of electricity in 2020.[3] Over half the world’s coal-fired power is generated in China.[4] 5 GW of new coal power was approved in the first half of 2021.[2] Quotas force utility companies to buy coal power over cheaper renewable power.[5] Carbon Tracker estimated in 2020 that the average coal fleet loss was about 4 USD/MWh and that about 60% of power stations were cashflow negative in 2018 and 2019.[6] According to 2020 analysis by Energy Foundation China, to keep warming to 1.5 degrees C all China’s coal power without carbon capture must be phased out by 2045.[7] But in 2023 many new coal power stations were approved.[8] Coal power stations receive payments for their capacity.[9]
Retirement and addition of coal-fired power capacity
The annual amount of coal plant capacity being retired increased into the mid-2010s.[10] However, the rate of retirement has since stalled,[10] and global coal phase-out is not yet compatible with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.[11]
In parallel with retirement of some coal plant capacity, other coal plants are still being added, though the annual amount of added capacity has been declining since the 2010s.[12]
Coal is the main source of electricity but its share is declining
China is the largest producer and consumer of coal in the world and is the largest user of coal-derived electricity. Despite China (like other G20 countries) pledging in 2009 to end inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, as of 2020 there are direct subsidies and the main way coal power is favoured is by the rules guaranteeing its purchase – so dispatch order is not merit order.[13]
To curtail the continued rapid construction of coal fired power plants, strong action was taken in April 2016 by the National Energy Administration (NEA), which issued a directive curbing construction in many parts of the country.[14] This was followed up in January 2017 when the NEA canceled a further 103 coal power plants, eliminating 120 GW of future coal-fired capacity, despite the resistance of local authorities mindful of the need to create jobs.[15] The decreasing rate of construction is due to the realization that too many power plants had been built and some existing plants were being used far below capacity.[16] In 2020 over 40% of plants were estimated to be running at a net loss and new plants may become stranded assets.[13] In 2021 some plants were reported close to bankruptcy due to being forbidden to raise electricity prices in line with high coal prices.[17]
The think tank Carbon Tracker estimated the average loss was about US$4/MWh and that about 60% of power stations were cashflow negative in 2018 and 2019.[18] In 2020 Carbon Tracker estimated that 43% of coal-fired plants were already more expensive than new renewables and that 94% would be by 2025.[19] According to a 2020 analysis by Energy Foundation China, in order to keep warming to 1.5 degrees C coal plants without carbon capture must be phased out by 2045.[20] A 2021 study estimated that all coal power plants could be shut down by 2040, by retiring them at the end of their financial lifetime.[21]
In 2023 the Economist magazine wrote that ‘ Building a coal plant, whether it is needed or not, is also a common way for local governments to boost economic growth.’ and that ‘ They don’t like depending on each other for energy. So, for example, a province might prefer to use its own coal plant rather than a cleaner energy source located elsewhere.’[22]
Anothe cognitive miss by thoughtful, respect for your opinion, but Peter Hitchens, oft quoted, is not in government :
” blatant lying piece of government propaganda I’ve ever come across. From Peter Hitchins to Admiral Lord West I’ve never heard such falsehoods come out of peoples mouths.”
“I love the two party system and I love first past the post”
“The Brexit referendum was a dangerous mistake” i.e we should still be in the EU
There’s also the possibility of a [sic] Trumpoid development as people vote for someone completely outrageous because there’s no one left to vote for.
I don’t think Nigel Farage is a conservative, Thatcherite but not a conservative.
You get a revolt of a Trump kind
Immigration is easily exploitable by bigotts

We are all one race, the human race and there isn’t any difference between us.
British people are now by and large pretty much unemployable and we need immmigrants to do the jobs they won’t do.
Germany is a happier country than Britain
That’s just a few of the quotes from this interview and I can tell you that these differ markedly from Hitchens often expressed views, and these accord with that of the government and the Time interviewer who reminds me of Kathy Newman with her ill disguised smirk when she thinks she’s asked a ‘gotcha’ question.
I haven’t had a chance to ask Peter why he gave such a different set of answers to his normal ones in this interview but I do intend to ask him when I next talk to him.

Russian network that ‘paid European politicians’ busted, authorities claim

Oh dear BBC, your head seems to be permanently wedged up your own backside these days.
The story here is not a propaganda network offering to pay people to help. You use those all the time via the far-Left troll-farm who swamp every major story I see in our media with childlike spiteful anti-Russian/pro-Left propaganda and you do nothing about it.
The REAL story is the dirty b@stard European politicians who took it. But somehow they are being portrayed as victims here !!!.
Qatargate is an ongoing political scandal, involving allegations that European Parliament officials, lobbyists and their families have been influenced by the governments of Qatar, Morocco and Mauritania, engaging in corruption, money laundering, and organized crime.[1] Law enforcement authorities in Belgium, Italy and Greece seized €1.5 million in cash, confiscated computers and mobile phones, and charged four individuals with the alleged offences.[2][3][4][5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_corruption_scandal_at_the_European_Parliament
€1.5 million in cash

I keep checking that one Marky.
It’s a huge story going right to the heart of curruption at the highest level in the EU. And you can be 100% certain it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
But the BBC swept it right under the carpet because it’s against their pro-Eu agenda. IIRC it disappeared from the front page after a day. And if I search for it on Google, I only get 2 BBC articles.
But nothing new there : they don’t report any troubles in the EU – whether it’s violence from immigrants or mass protests in cities which go on for months. They consider that rejoining the EU (or any other agenda topic) justifies their lies by omission.
And of course OFCOM ignore it because they agree with it. They are the REAL scumbags in this story.
EU – corruption for all! Lazy national politicians! Win win!
Yes but it couldn’t possibly happen here could it? All our political elites are complete angels and would never accept any kind of inducement because they are in it for the public good and their low salaries is proof of that !
Beckenham: Train passengers pleaded with knifeman during attack
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-68682227
I’ve noticed a trend at the BBC where the headline no longer represents the inconvenient story. Sometimes they prefer to soften the reader with empathy to set their mood before they get the actual story. This one should be ‘Black teenager charged with attempted murder after train attack’.
And as an indicator of just how infantile and ridiculous the latest generation of BBC news staff have become, just look at how far they are going to prevent people seeing what they don’t want them to see:
The caption is:
‘An image from a video on social media shows a man holding a blade (which has been blurred by the BBC)’
Why ?. Don’t they want the public to see such a blade next to a very blurred black hand ?. Or might the delicate snowflakes be shocked at the sight of it ?. What ridiculous directive do the BBC have now which made the idiot clone do that ?.
And what a terrible picture to choose compared to all the others in the news (like I linked earlier) which ‘capture the sentiment’ much better. It’s such a contrast, it’s definitely on purpose.
And a drum roll for clone ‘Jess Warren’ who churned this out:

Bill Clinton admits to having inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky
As you know, in a deposition in January, I was asked questions about my relationship with Monica Lewinsky. While my answers were legally accurate, I did not volunteer information.
Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.
But I told the grand jury today and I say to you now that at no time did I ask anyone to lie, to hide or destroy evidence or to take any other unlawful action.
“Why so many Russians voted for Putin”
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/why-so-many-russians-voted-for-putin/
Basically argues he puts the Russian people first ..
“The Russian people know that their President opposes mass immigration, supranational powers like the EU and the West’s ‘new world order’, is supportive of his country’s sovereignty, domestic industry and jobs, the traditional family and marriage, protecting children from sexual abuse, the Christian religion (building hundreds of churches), low taxes, generous social support and a ‘multi-polar’ world order.”
Manages the economy well
“The Financial Times noted that Russia saw a remarkable 3.6 per cent economic growth in 2023, positioning itself as the foremost economy in Europe and the fifth globally, with Russians experiencing a 5.4 per cent increase in real disposable income, and unemployment at a record low.
Even with the blatant theft by Nato/EU of some $300billion of Russian foreign exchange reserves, the country has moved up to 6th place in the global table with reserves of $442billion.”

“I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors. First, by a desire to protect myself from the embarrassment of my own conduct.”

They had two children, Debbie and Susie. Currie and her husband separated in 1997, but did not finalise their divorce until 2001. During that marriage, between 1984 and 1988, Currie had a four-year affair with John Major, later Prime Minister, which she revealed in September 2002.
….. And in UK Conservative Gov … HA HA HA HA ….
Back to Basics attempted to relaunch the government of John Major (pictured). Though it was intended as a nostalgic appeal to traditional values such as “neighbourliness, decency, courtesy”, the campaign was widely interpreted in the media as a campaign for socially conservative causes such as the traditional family.

Richard Taylor, the father of murdered Damilola Taylor, has died this week aged 75.
Actor John Boyega, who rarely discusses his childhood friendship with Damilola, tells @johnwilson14 on Last Word he remembers the 10-year-old as being ‘flamboyant and charismatic’.

Muslims break their fast at sunset with the call to prayer. Today, Sheikh Rabbani performed the call to prayer in Bute House with friends from across different faith communities.
Quite possibly the first time the Islamic call to prayer has been performed in Bute House!
Kneel for BLM.
Die for Islam.
There is a story today of Thames Water and its financial difficulties, and having followed the story of this for some time now I’m in a position to recognise when others are misrepresenting the truth about the situation.
The clueless Michael Gove an extreme Left winger who started off as a Labour party member until he met the equally far Left Boris Johnson at Oxford, went on to try to get a job at a Tory think tank which refused him on the grounds of being insufficiently political and not a conservative. Back then the Tories still had some vestage of conservatism.
Foggy Moggy is equally clueless when it comes to business with his Somerset capital unbelievably losing clients money in a bull market – that takes a special kind of incompetence and now the taxpayer are having to bail it’s investors out!
I shall attempt to sum up the problems in Thames Water so readers can tell when the media is trying to deceive them.
The basic thrust is that the far Left want Water services re-nationalised and are attacking the problems at Thames Water as being greed on behalf of management and shareholders – this is a lie.
The problems originate as the often do from the Marxist Tories and their proxy Ofwat. The ecouraged / forced the management of Thames water to invest in new infrastructure and plant for cleaner waste and tap water, which was fine when interest rates were at an all time low, but they would not allow the bills to rise to cover the cost of all this investment (in the fantasy socialist mind money is illusory).
This was all fine and dandy and Thames Water could afford the interest repayments, but then interest rates rose at a very fast pace, and what was once affordable became unaffordable.
So when you hear the lies from the Marxist Tories and the media that this is the result of free enterprise and Water needs to be re-nationalised, remember this.
It was not free enterprise when government controlled profit margins and forced investment decisions on management. It was not free enterprise when government controlled the amount which could be charged to customers and refused to even allow investment to be repaid.
It is not the fault of greedy capitalists or hedge fund managers, most of the investors are pension funds and soverign wealth funds.
The fault here lies entirely with incompetent far Left government not understanding business and their proxies in the regulation companies such as Ofwat. In addition the massive influx of people due to mass immigration has led to increased demand on the infrastructure without any more income being allowed.
In short it is the story of the failure of Socialism once again.
And as a postscript a £750 Million bail out package from investors has failed as the Marxist Tories and Ofwat have intervened to make it unworkable owing to restrictions and new regulations they have placed on the deal. This situation is being deliberately manipulated so the government can force Thames Water into bankruptcy.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – And now a complaint about the non-Christian BBC.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-68690923 The BBC appear to have forgotten that Good Friday is a holy day as well as a holiday day. The Stock Exchange in London is closed. There is no trading there and the Financial Times is normally not published today. So why have the BBC included yesterday’s edition in their Blog?!

tomo, I recall enforced secondary smoking where I was in a public place with smokers and had to be there for some reason, leisure purposes or work-related gatherings. I remember going home with my suit stinking of smoke, and quickly changing to leisure clothes and then taking the suit worn at the business reception and hanging it out in the garage until the day after the day following the event. I am as you might have guessed a non-smoker. Since the smoking ban in enclosed spaces, I find I am finding it unpleasant to smell cigarette or vape smoke out on the street.
Well, the latest train stabbing, enriching scumbag has been named…and his name is…drumroll…Rakeem Thomas.
You know, Rakeem sounds a bit…Hmm…
And there was me thinking it would be a bloke called Joe Bloggs.
It looks like the BBC have got a tad bored with this story.
They’re more interested in the Damilola Taylor case…
It could be he’d just got out of jail for carrying a knife on a train
This guy is 19, the name “Rakeem Thomas” appears in other court cases but too old to be him
Hower just before Christmas a man called “Rakeem Thomas”who was 18 was jailed for 6 months .. i almost surely has to be him

According to eyewitnesses, Hasan then went around behind the desk and bowed his head for several seconds, before he suddenly stood up, shouted “Allahu Akbar !” and opened fire.[18][19][20] Witnesses said Hasan initially “sprayed bullets at soldiers in a fanlike motion” before taking aim at individual soldiers.[21] Eyewitness SGT Michael Davis said: “The rate of fire was pretty much constant shooting. When I initially heard it, it sounded like an M16.”[22]
