Monday sees the cover up report about the infected blood the NHS injected into thousands of victims . The NHS is approved by the BBC so coverage of the report will rapidly disappear – to be replaced by traditional criticism of the current regime’s response to said inquiry …. The victims deserve to be remembered and helped and compensated . And for the NHS – don’t forget to clap

BBC headline – Live –

Hard landing, isn’t that a crash?

Well against my better judgment, I have bought Proms tickets. I had to get into the prewaiting room between 7.20 and 9pm on Saturday morning to be assigned a random place in the queue. I was around the 5000 mark and going down for a few minutes before blinking hard to find I was 500 places more than I had been when I first got on. Eventually I got to the head of the queue. Not only was the Royal Albert Hall charging a booking fee, but they wanted me to insure against being unable to attend, they wanted me to donate towards sponsoring young musicians and they wanted me to donate to the restoration of the Hall. None of these amounts were insubstantial .
Meanwhile a friend I was also buying tickets for, went on line about 10am out of curiosity to find herself 50,000 in the queue (yes really). By this time Florence and her machine were already sold out according to the message on the waiting room page. Now I have no idea how popular Florence is (I have heard of her), nor how popular the sordid Sam Smith is. But imagine either were playing Wembley for one night. I presume either could fill the arena. Was it people wanting these two proms inflating the waiting room numbers? It would provide the evidence that the proms are more popular than ever and what a wonderful organisation the BBC is to put on music for the cultural elite. Nothing happens at the BBC by chance. Perhaps there was a plan for their inane programming.

The Left – and especially the BBC – don’t give a flying f*ck about any of these young Ukranians being sent into the meatgrinder to be blown into pieces.
They only care about poor old women who have to leave their family homes because Russia are coming. Or a few civilians killed by inevitable collateral damage – especially if some are children. Those are their favourite. Second only to a baby being rescued from rubble.
Meanwhile the brave men at the front are dying in their thousands and the BBC don’t care one bit. No empathy in it and thus no chance of an award at the next incestuous BBC free dinner.

Slovakia PM attacker ‘may not have been lone wolf’
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nnd3xkp54o
If you research this guy with google, you learn the BBC is omitting huge amounts of information on this case. They have done the old trick of concentrating on the events after the shooting. The only hint we get to anything relating to why he did it is:
‘Local media have described him as a poet who has been involved in political organisations with various ideologies.’
In particular they don’t quote what the government said:
‘Lubos Blaha, Slovakia’s deputy parliament speaker and deputy chairman of Fico’s Smer party has said:’
“You, liberal media and political opposition. What hatred you spread against Robert Fico.”
Absolutely bang on Lubos. And the BBC are doing exactly the same against their right-wing enemies here in the West. Just check out any article about Boris, Trump, Farage or JRM which has HYS opened on it in the last few years. The hatred and spite are off the scale. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
The truth of this is that he dabbled with various organisations, but the one which drove him to attempt murder was as a pro-EU Lefty who didn’t like what the right-wing government were doing.
What disgust me most of all is how the Democrats (with full BBC support) are trying to make out that it is Trump who has caused the huge social divisions.

Let me tell you a secret unidentified BBC clone who wrote the article : he’s not sorry at all. He’s done it hundreds of times and will do it again. He’s only sorry that he got caught.
Amazing how the BBC change the headline depending on the agenda. Take this one:
‘Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice rejects claims over teaching methods’
Could so easily have been:
‘Numerous serious complaints made about Giovanni Pernice’s behaviour while filming Strictly.’
The first infers innocence, the second infers guilt. A standard BBC lie technique which I call ‘Lying by inference’.

The cost of living has also nearly swallowed up the pension increases this year, Andy.
The ‘green’ power scam is eternally with us all now! I was ‘asked’/’it was suggested’ by my electricity company what I should pay per month, so I dropped the DD by about £18, as I was well in credit. That lasted a couple of months, and then I get another message saying they’re upping it by another whopping £34!
Immediately after that, I get yet another message offering me a fixed deal for a year at – you’ve guessed it – what I proposed in the first place! Funny that this happened about the same time that the Offwatt crowd are predicting a 7% reduction in the three-monthly climate power scam-regulations!
I think that the Cubiclists in W1AA will gently drop the clamour over the cost of living, especially over electricity and gas, as they are priced far too high now, but as they’re ‘green’, the Beeboid mentalists will just shrug their puny shoulders and claim it’s all to save the planet!

The infected blood scandal report is due today. The victims have waited some FORTY years for this.
They were infected with HIV and Heapatitics C contaminated blood by the NHS. Yes, this nationalised industry has avoided accountability and strung it out with government connivance for 40 years, a huge compensation package is thought likely to be paid for, of course, ultimately by the taxpayer. For those still alive. Many have died. This all happened under the auspices of the NHS. Are you still clapping?
Meanwhile the Post Office horizon scandal enquiry is underway. This one is only a mere TWENTY years after it happened.
What these two things have in common is to see how nationalised industries behave when they get things wrong.
They avoid, deny, obscure, delay for as long as they can. They literally hope people will die in the meantime to avoid compensation. The perpetrators of course get away without. There is no accountability whatever.
Yet amazingly, people want more nationalisation. Railways, water. The socialists exploit every failure of the private sector – look at the traction to the water quality issue in the West Country last week. Would it really not happen under nationalisation? Or would we just not hear about it for forty years?

And PS. Reading tomo’s post about rail fares above.
Do you remember a few years ago there were ridiculous complaints about the ‘complexities’ of rail ticket prices.
All that is now solved. The East Coast Main Line is quasi-nationalised and fare structures are simpler. All the cheap tickets have gone and the prices have skyrocketed!!!!!! But at least it’s simpler. So that’s OK. Hahahah. I used to travel to Yorkshire regularly on the same line as Tomo above and know this to be true. Another victory for the state over the gullible public.

The trauma of it was spread across the family and persists to this day . It’s one of the many reasons I have little trust in the medical mafia – more self interested than patient care ….
The report is big – apparently – thousands of pages . Who will ever read it ? Who will ever change as a result ? Certainly not those killed by the NHS ….

A) Your article tells people how to think from point one:
“The first thing you need to know about the so-called demographic timebomb facing countries such as the UK and US is to never call it that.”
B) Your article is lacking in thought and I’d like to know who made this statement:
“There are basically two ways in which a country can deal with a falling birth rate – you can keep your population heathier and employed for longer, or you can have large-scale immigration. There isn’t really a third option.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c72p2vgd21no
— third option – give better incentives to have bigger families to ensure there is an increasing population (see Africa for details on how to do this).
— third option – use technology to assist in improved living.
— third option – stop scaring the population into not having kids – see “Anti-natalists: The people who want you to stop having babies” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-49298720
— third option – have so many kids that they go and replace other countries populations who are failing to have kids.
C) Remember that the migrated people get old as well.
D) You could quote some of our politicians:
From a Theresa May speech … “As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’”

The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy Paperback – 28 Jun. 1996
“Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites,the anointed,have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.”

The Sons of Liberty strongly opposed the taxes in the Townshend Act as a violation of their rights. In response, the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company.”

From the Guardian – BBCOFCOM really doesn’t like GBNews – must be due to do an RT to it … free press indeed …
STARTS Ofcom is considering a statutory sanction against GB News over “serious and repeated” breaches of British television laws relating to the channel’s lack of impartiality.
The media regulator said the channel breached regulations by allowing the Conservative prime minister, Rishi Sunak, to be interviewed on air without sufficient challenge to his views.
Ofcom, which has carried out 23 formal investigations amid 13 breaches of broadcast rules by GB News, accepted there was nothing wrong in principle with the format of the hour-long programme, broadcast in February, in which Sunak answered questions from 100 voters in County Durham.
However, GB News failed to challenge his arguments, provide alternative point of view, and generally failed to “ensure that an appropriately wide range of significant views”.
As a result the prime minister had a “mostly uncontested platform to promote the policies and performance of his government in a period preceding a UK general election”.
Ofcom said it would now start its process for deciding the punishment for the channel, which could take up to two months, with the channel facing a fine over repeated breaches of impartiality rules.
Among other issues with the programme, Ofcom concluded:
Audience members were not able to challenge the prime minister’s responses and the presenter Stephen Dixon – a former Sky News host – did not push back to any “meaningful extent”.
The prime minister was able to set out future policies he planned to implement if re-elected. Neither the audience nor the presenter challenged or otherwise referred to significant alternative views on these.
Sunak criticised aspects of Labour’s policies and performance – but neither Labour’s views or positions on those issues were included in the programme.
GB News did not include a reference in the programme to an agreed future programme in which a wide range of significant views on the major matter would be given due weight.
GB News, which has challenged many of the longstanding norms around news broadcasting in the UK, has become a major headache for Ofcom, which has been accused of being asleep at the wheel.
The rightwing channel has pushed boundaries – and built a loyal and growing audience – by adopting an openly rightwing slant on the news agenda. It also employs serving Tory MPs as presenters and has complained that Ofcom is a vessel of the establishment intent on shutting down free speech.
GB News is part-owned by hedge fund boss Paul Marshall, who is preparing a bid to buy the Daily Telegraph. He recently stepped down from his role as chairman of the GB News’s parent company but has been replaced by Lord Agnew – a former Tory minister and active Conservative member of the House of Lords.
Ofcom is also facing the challenge of Nigel Farage – who controls the Reform UK party but does not currently intend to stand for election to parliament – presenting a nightly politics show during the general election.
In a statement, GB News said: “Ofcom’s finding against GB News today is an alarming development in its attempt to silence us by standing in the way of a forum that allows the public to question politicians directly.
“The regulator’s threat to punish a news organisation with sanctions for enabling people to challenge their own prime minister strikes at the heart of democracy at a time when it could not be more vital.”
GB News also called itself the “people’s channel” and the “independently selected group of undecided voters” questioned Mr Sunak “robustly, intelligently, and freely”.
The channel also said that the Ofcom ruling was a “watershed moment that should terrify anyone who believes, as we do, that the media’s role is to give a voice to the people of the United Kingdom”.ENDS

Blinken amongst others in attendance,[3] prohibited Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, “except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.” As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.[4][5]

On Friday morning I posted a criticism of the Senior Health and Misinformation reporter. Also on Friday she announced on Twitter she was leaving her post at the BBC after eight years. It was only 7hrs 51mins later. I know this is accurate because I fact checked myself.
This struck me as potentially significant, so I decided to spend the entire weekend designing a study to see if my disparaging comments caused her departure. Unfortunately due to the presence of confounding variables my results are inconclusive. But I’m looking for funding to see if I can replicate my findings with other BBC employees who are similarly underqualified in their roles.
If anyone would like to contribute to my research please get in touch. Lightning can strike twice after all.

Fedup it was this —

Yesterday at Congress the NIH admitted that they had indeed been funding gain of function research at Wuhan prior to C19. This confirms what many have known, and what Fauci had flat out rejected at Senate hearings, calling such an accusation “egregiously incorrect”.
This is big news, especially so given the crusade that gov and media are on pretending to disseminate only accurate medical info. Somewhat masochistically I like to periodically check on the BBC’s Senior Health and Misinformation reporter. Here’s her latest post on Twitter.
I am probably not alone in wishing I could get refunded for the years I did pay the licence fee, such is the failure of intelligence.

Looking at the infected blood inquiry report – volume 7 – the final one – deals with destruction of documents – and the cover up is pitched at ‘routine destruction ‘ of documents …. And – no doubt – criminal culpability for the killings of NHS patients ….
The outcome of this report will be the same as the post office – no one will be held responsible – no one will be punished – nothing will change …. 2 state bodies defending themselves against the public victims –
The medical mafia will never change – it’s institutionally corrupt …
Remember to clap ..

David is a good man who’s been working that beat for years.
Bent NHS managers have been furtively sneaking into offices over weekends to delete incriminating emails and other records. It’s not routine – it’s usually in direct conflict with data retention policies and it’s criminal.

Although I had from the get go serious doubts Israel had anything to do with the downed helicopter and the death of the Iranian President they have denied anything to do with it.
I wondered if it were more likely Turkey had shot it down if indeed anyone had. The News agencies don’t seem to be showing maps but the location is in the far North of the country East of Turkey, half way to the Caspian Sea, and South of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The world is in a delicate enough state as it is without this having been an assasination by any country, and even now it becomes more dangerous as a power struggle begins for the two senior roles in the Iranian government.
Can we hope for sober serious reporting from the UK media? No of course not, if it’s not on side almost celebrating, and the other comiserating there’s not much analysis of the potential consequences going on from any where, but that’s pretty much the constant state of the MSM these days.

I think the blood inquiry will disappear quite quickly – but – just think – receiving blood / products via the medical mafia across decades was a lottery – you – me – could have been infected .
And as a result family could have died – you – me – could have died because their NHS killed us …..
.. during the press conference one of the victims raised the general point about state mafia – be it the civil service – legal mafia – health mafia … and how these protect themselves …
… and Kenneth Clarke – the main on point for failing to deal with blood products is the focus of big criticism _ but it should be remembered that Ken Clarke isn’t a human being – he is a barrister – and barristers have no humanity – just ‘the brief ‘…
BTW – in the post office inquiry Vennels is due to give evidence this week – I bet she doesn’t swear on the Bible …

At the time of his appointment he had plenty of fans in the USA and Israeli government, he was their choice. The fact he is Muslim is pretty irrelevant in this case, as he is an Amahdi Musli.

This is a great money spinner for those with their snouts in the trough and there are an awful lot of snouts.
A timeline from the infected blood inquiry page 76 you linked to.
20 May 1983 isolation of a viral particle (then called “LAV”) in Paris by Dr Luc Montagnier.
It turns out to be the same as HTLV-3 and HIV
On 23 April 1984, Dr Robert Gallo announced he had found the virus which causes AIDS.
Fascinating stuff. Why did Gallo never receive the Nobel Prize and Montaignier did? In the early 1990s Gallo’s lab was being investigated for medical fraud. He would have been convicted had the Republicans not taken the House in the 1994 mid-terms. From then on he retired from the NIH and led a life out of the spotlight.
If you try and find Gallo’s scientific papers that prove the isolation of HIV and that it causes AIDS you will be wasting your time. They are not publicly available. What you will find is articles like this
The Discovery of HIV as the Cause of AIDS
Authors: Robert C. Gallo, M.D., and Luc Montagnier, M.D.Author Info & Affiliations
Published December 11, 2003
N Engl J Med 2003;349:2283-2285
DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp038194
VOL. 349 NO. 24
https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMp038194
Note it was published in 2003.
Yet the original papers themselves, demonstrating how to reproduce the results Gallo claimed are non-existent.
Few people have ever seen them. AIDS is a syndrome. In the early 1980s, AIDS included two diseases, Kaposi’s sarcoma and PCP. The CDC continually extended the syndrome over the years so it now includes 30 well-known diseases that all existed before the appearance of AIDS. If you go to a hospital with cervical cancer, pneumonia, or tuberculosis and test positive with one of their PCR assays for HIV you will be treated as an HIV/AIDS patient. You won’t be treated for cervical cancer, pneumonia, or tuberculosis but with dangerous HIV anti-virals that will eventually kill you. When you die you will be listed as an HIV/AIDS death. I remember at the end of the 1980s they were telling us 1/5th of the world’s population would be dead from HIV/AIDS by the end of the decade.
It’s the same old scam and forty years later people still fall for it. Does the template sound familiar?

The head of the ICC is a US / Israel puppet, so make what you will of this.
The more interesting side is how the US is going to do its usual global thug routine demanding that Putin is arraigned by the ICC for supposed war crimes and that the court it wholly legitimate and following the course of law
And then arguing the exact opposite when it comes to Israel, but switching back once again when it comes to the Hamas group.
Of course none of these people are ever going to show up for a trial, maybe a Hamas one will but the reality is that it’s only ever been African war lords who are arrested and they call it the international colonial court as they see is as grossly unfair.
However if AIPAC decide to ditch Netanyahu they might well throw him under the bus to have a fresh start.

Digg – enemies of Israel will seize on the attempt to indict democratically elected politicians and naively think it is balanced because the surviving (sadly ) leaders of Hamas will be held to account too ….
The friends of Islamic Hamas – such as South Africa – are practicing law fare like the democrats against trump – with plenty of sympathisers here – unfortunately ….

I have to say it’s a bizzare way to view this situation.
I hope that you you do not include me as a sympathiser of HAMAS here Fed, that would be beyond risisble and the kind of baseless ad hominem the woke left usually resort to when they lose.
It would also appear that you regard Yoav Gallant and Binyamin Nettanyahu as actually being Israel itself – allow me to disabuse you of this delusion, they are two men who today would be voted into oblivion by the people of Israel were there to be an election.

I’m sure the CIA will be ‘assisting’ the people there who wish the CIA had never had a hand in installing the Mullahs in the first place – albeit their meddling was on the other side and failing to read the way the situation was going.

This talk of the ICC has reminded me that the neighbour had passed by the spot where the Muslims were accosting drivers for money for Gaza / Hamas which is of course illegal, and last time when I asked him if he called the Police he said he hadn’t because they would probably arrest him for being white or anti Muslim or some dreamed up reason.
However this time it was different. The two tier Gestapo we now have instead of Police were sat in their car simply watching them and doing nothing. probably protecting them in case someone took offence or nicked the money.
And so the elderly neighbour was pretty much proven right.

An example of BBC bias in an unexpected way.
On Have I Got News for You last Friday, one of the panellists came out with a joke against Labour !!!!!!!
So why the bias?
The ‘funny’ thing is…..absolutely nobody in the audience laughed! Or did they just not dare?
Whereas of course mention in the most feeble way the government and…….howls of apoplectic laughter.
It is the same system as Question Time. Ensure a Far Left audience and the bias takes care of itself.
