Midweek 29th May 2024

Tuesday saw the first obvious Far Left attitude of the BBC in the General Election . A speech by Nigel Farage was censored – cut off – with the presenter describing him as ‘inflammatory ‘ . Hours later she – Guru Murphy – was forced to apologise on air . A clear breach of the balance the BBC espouses by the hour and a sign of things to come in the 39 days to the Election . Shameful .

              Dunno about the whole pub but switching to English out of politeness is a thing
              At the bar conversations at either side of me immediately switched to English.
              Though you can pick out that Welsh uses English and French loan words. like caravan and fenetre.
              Isle of Angelsey people speak strange Welsh and seem less friendly.

              In Machynlleth at the Coop almost everyone was speaking to Welsh , but it was amazing how when someone asks a question in English everyone could smoothly switch instantly to English .. completely bilingual.

I struggled with O-Level French, and still do.

      I travel fairly widely throughout the UK and I reckon I’ve never seen so much house building going on everywhere. Every city, town and village I pass through has large scale housing estates being built. It’s really stepped up in the the last ten years.

      Many new estates have little or no supporting infrastructure and are often built on unsuitable ground, flooding being a particular issue.

          Liverpool lost thousands of homes with his crackpot schemes – the illegals could have been sent there, and also would have saved Ireland from being swamped with foreigners as well! I assume that these foreigners are capable of a few building trades, and aren’t all doctors, engineers and chemists!

          I guess it’ll all start again on July 5th…

      Thing about building houses is that they are really building debt. It is a ponzi scheme.

      Bash out these little boxes, splash concrete all over the countryside, grab the 30% profit, give a kickback to the corrupt politicians, then run for the exit.

      No need to worry about where the water is going to come from, or where the sewage will go to. No need to worry about who will employ all these people for the next 30 years, no need to worry about all the extra traffic congestion.

    Not really housing – but the difference between the reds and the blues – they’ve matched each other on key taxes – both won’t increase IT thresholds until 2027 ?

    Both have their ‘gimmicks ‘ like national service ( never happen ) VAT on public schools ( avoidable ?) but what is the difference ?
    Neither will withdraw from the ECHR – both really want to rejoin the reichEU …
    Neither care about immigration levels – legsl or otherwise …

    .. the only difference I can see is the strength of Islamic Hamas in the reds … which I think will amount to 50 plus MPs …. And support for the State Broadcaster from both sides ….

    I heard a discussion about what public services / spending has to be cut to maintain the tax promises .and ‘protected ministries ‘ No one is saying … or where increased funding for promises will come from …

    I think the manifestos are published next week . Now I know that they are meaningless – but they might give some indication of where we are going to be hammered for tax – which we have to be if the likes of their NHS is to do what it’s meant to do …

    TWatO Watch #1 – er…. so that rules out the sitting MP for Hackney ?

    The Montacutie concentrated on the Labour row over BBC favourite* Diane Abbott. Unfortunately the BBC played a clip of the Sucker in charge of the Labour Party saying that he wanted “outstanding candidate”. By out and standing I guess he means a candidate who gets shoes on the correct feet in public and doesn’t claim that “Chairman Mao did more good than harm.”

    * I seem to recall the MP for Hackney was stuck on a sofa next to Michael Portillo MP for Railway Journeys and creased up Mikey with that statement. I also seem to recall that the sitting MP for Hackney made a lot of money out of the Telly Tax that people are forced to pay.

    Well….I watched question time with Nigel on the panel.

    It went exactly how everyone on here will have expected it to go.

    Silence after Nigel speaking but great applause for all the others.

    Nigel was being interrupted all the time and stopped from commenting when he wanted to correct the other panellists but the others were left to speak uninterrupted and talk over Nigel.

    One thing I would suggest to Nigel is that pointing out we need to build a new house every 2 minutes to keep up with the immigrants needing housing isn’t really getting the message across. It would be better understood if he said something like we need to build 400,000 new homes every year to house the immigrants. People would understand that better.

    Nigel was the only one talking sense and I suppose the silent treatment by the bbbc qt audience should be taken as a positive.

    The first question from the audience was about Nigel losing 7 times when standing to be an MP. The person asking it saying they were going to ask a different question but this ‘new’ question ‘gazumped’ her original choice of question for a different panel member.

    All in all, qt hasn’t changed and is still not worth wasting your time watching it. Maybe record it and FF to the only good (when Nigel spoke) bits.

    Switched on bBBC to see what the score was in tonight’s cricket as they usually never have it any more. Anyway audio was immediately muted at the screeching caterwauling from the female commentator. At least it became watchable then for 10 minutes or so. They have managed to wreck all predominantly male sport on TV pretending to know everything about the game. Strangely I do not mind them on the baseball games I watch. The US seem to at least make an effort here.

    BBC top salaries are always worth looking at when the BBC goes into bunker mode. What are we paying for and its clear that Huw Edwards has lost his top spot in the rankings. Gary Lineker is still holding his top position (vanity position), for now at least. Coming up is the little known daughter of a famous Jazz Band trumpet player and several runner ups in this 2022 list of top BBC earners.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/727566/highest-earning-bbc-employees/

    It gets worse:
    Recently a new reports disclosed £72 Million on BBC gave generous payments for ‘worthy’ individuals, that often feature in the news for gaffs, bias, sexual perversions and being outright bigots…

    Key findings:
    (1) Senior on-air talent and backroom staff at the BBC earned a total of £72.4 million in 2022/23

    (2) The 220 backroom staff earning over £100,000 cost a total of £36.3 million and were paid on average £156,818 each. The 215 senior on-air talent earning over £100,000 cost £36.1 million and were paid an average of £167,716 each

    (3) The BBC is required to name the individuals who received £178,000 from the licence fee, with 133 individuals, including on-air talent and backroom bosses, earning this amount, a total of £34 million

    (4) The highest earning executive in 2022/23 was Tim Davie, who earned £527,500. The highest earning on air talent was Gary Lineker, who earned £1,352,500

    (5) £27,825,000 was spent on severance packages, with 124 staff receiving “golden goodbyes” worth over £100,000, a total cost of £16,583,000 for these six-figure payouts

      Stop : you made the mistake of using the PR dept as your source
      The BBC’s highest paid workers, are NOT the ones listed on the list they put out
      because they use a ruse of paying SOME people through BBC studios and that;s a commercial arm therefore the salaries don’t count, and don’t need to be declared publicly
      It is known that Graham Norton is traditionally a top earner there
      with about £6m pa

      #2 The lists omit stuff
      What counts is TOTAL benefit minus costs
      So basic salary, plus pension, plus appearance fees, plus book deals, image rights
      I’m thinking of people like Chris Packham.
      Sometimes workers are acting as producers and maybe funding researchers & runners out of their own pocket etc.

    The rejoicing of the BBC News at Trump’s guilty verdict was undisguised. And yet there was also an uneasy acknowledgement that he may yet turn this into an electoral advantage.

    What this guilty verdict proves is that Trump, for all his wealth, is not part of the Establishment. He can genuinely claim to represent the little guy in a way that rich phoneys like Joe Biden can’t. It suggests that the deep state is a reality, not a myth of conspiracy theorists. Trump’s crime pales into insignificance compared with the influence-peddling that is so lucrative for the Washington swamp creatures typified by Biden and his son Hunter. And the power of the liberal Democrat elite to hide their own much worse crimes and deep-seated corruption at the same time as weaponising the justice system against their political enemies has been amply demonstrated.

    This may not be lost on the American voter.

    BBC parodies itself
    The BBC is for everyone – and it’s a place where everyone’s views are heard, and everyone is treated fairly and with respect. Providing a shared space which brings people together to debate and discuss, whether they agree with each other or not, is a vital part of our mission.

    And hearing from the widest possible range of voices is about representing everyone who pays the BBC licence fee. It’s also an obligation under our Charter

    the audience? As usual, we’ll ensure our UK studio audiences reflect the broad electoral map of the UK. Our questions will originate from audiences, both those in the room and those watching from home, and we’ll make sure they represent the broad concerns of those audiences, and that they’re fair to all of the political representatives, and aren’t overly focused on any particular party or its manifesto. Participants are never shown the questions in advance – though of course they may have a fair idea of what’s on the minds of voters. Our presenters are asked to ensure that everyone gets a fair hearing, and that we are clear on what’s a promise and what’s an aspiration.

      Just checking the questionaire to be in the audience.

      They ask:

      How old you are
      If you are disabled
      How you voted in the Referendum
      Who you are going to vote for
      Who you voted for last time
      Are you politically active – and if so, you have to tell them how

      I suspect only the BBC are allowed to ask such things these days.

      Clearly the question time audience is very carefully controlled.

    Just reading the BBC wetting their panties about the Trump verdict, and I looked over it for one reason : to see if they even hint towards the possibility all of this farce could be political persecution.

    And of course they do not. They only ever reference it in quotes as something Trump says. It’s exactly the same for the unbelievably dirty things Hamas do : they only ever reference Israel claiming it.

    No investigations, no ‘BBC Verify’ checking whether it is true or not. Just cold, single sentences in quotes then the subject is dropped.

    Make no mistake, the modern Left are the next evolution of fascists. They themselves are sticking to the ‘far-Right’ definition to avoid anyone using it against them – but fascism is actually a mentality of control, supression and oppression, not a political sway. And that sums the BBC up perfectly now.

    Here’s the clip of Biden telling everyone they will stop Trump taking power again:

    There is no ambiguity in what he says. Yet this from ‘Newsweek’:
    ‘Fact Check: Clip of Biden Saying He’ll ‘Stop Trump’ Taking Power’
    https://www.newsweek.com/biden-trump-indictment-stop-power-1792426
    Actually say it’s false!!. They ramble on with the most unconvincing arguments and one of the main ones is that he doesn’t say ‘stop Trump’ he says ‘making sure he does not become the next President again’.

    That whole clip is Biden stumbling, slurring and making incoherent sentences. Yet not of the shameful MSM point it out.

    Just clicking back on some old BBBC posts, this one still rings true!

    TDS…or plain old Tedious…the BBC’s constant vilification of Trump

    And looking at today’s Beeboid site, there doesn’t seem to be any reference to voters who may well get up on their hind legs, and become more supportive of President Trump because of the alleged stitchings-up, bogus press, clear issues with the truth etc.!

    I seem to recall that there were quite a lot of murmerings when somehow, Nigel Farage was ‘beaten’ in the South Thanet constituency, but that is all forgotten as the cubiclists still keep pointing at his ‘failure’ to get a seat in parliament!

    I actually believe that Nigel Farage does a damn sight more for the whole British nation by being a proper figurehead and doing what he does now, than he could ever do by dealing with with the small-minded plonkers in the HoC.

    Paxman interviews Anjem Choudary in 2010 (Newsnight archives)

    Anjem Choudary – one of the UK’s most notorious radical clerics – has been convicted of inviting others to support so-called Islamic State. Here’s an interview with him from our archives, from January 2010. Jeremy Paxman speaks to Anjem Choudary and Maajid Nawaz, the founding chair of Quilliam, a counter-extremism think tank.

    “Islam Muslims he ask you
    two questions firstly under under your

    he would be judged uh by an Islamic
    judge and after that and his second
    question okay his second question did

    Every decent, honest, impartial commentator is saying that the Trump trial was a shameful, politically motivated witch-hunt and a disgraceful misuse of the justice system.

    So, not the BBC, obviously.

      What is happening to the USA has many parallels to what happened during the fall of the Roman Empire.

      It has all the same hallmarks of a dying society riddled with lies, sham accusations, greed, backstabbing amongst the elite and judiciary coupled with the blind ignorance of much of the population population and as with Ancient Rome must ultimately lead to the end of the USA as a meaningful country in the World.

      Once any Country gives up its moral compass, it is doomed to fail!

    Following: Girl, 9, critical after Hackney quadruple shooting (BBC) – an event to which the Times devotes a tiny bottom of the frontpage teaser, frankly admitting that this was a: drive-by shooting – our BBC find a witness Ayo Adesina, 40, who: described the shooting as “crazy”

    I’m inevitably – and you may say somewhat inappropriately – reminded of Manuel from Fawlty Towers with his description of Sybil on the rampage: “Crazy, she go crazy! I say to her, you try to see in girl’s room and she go crazy! I tell her you crazy to see this girl. She go crazy!” – We leave it there as it dawns on Basil how the Spanish waiter’s imprecise broken English remarks have dropped him in it.

    Our BBC finds what we assume to be a native-born English first language Londoner to interview, somehow somewhere on the Kingsland High Street Dalston: Dave Evans, who heard gunshots while walking his dog, told the BBC it was “part of living in Hackney” – our capital’s fast-dwindling native-born resident population learning to channel Mayor Sadiq Khan there: being prepared for terrorist attacks is “part and parcel” of living in a big city

    You have to admire this chap who got button-holed by the BBC vox poppers in the aftermath of the shooting – he’s got a firm grip of the journalistic lingua franca and all those polite little diversity winks and nods: “…it’s not good for the community.”

    The Financial Times, our Eye of Sauron the super alert political watchdog and keen critic of anyone and everything on the landscape deemed ‘far-right’ from here to Timbuktu – for whatever reason this morning focuses attention on the Green Party general election campaign launch: Branching out Greens shift left of centre… expanding beyond its climate focus to become a leftwing foil to Labour – yet apparently the Greens dodge a dubbing with the dread moniker ‘Far-left’, eh FT?

    Then we have care of the FT’s top headline a nice deployment of the now all too familiar journalistic ‘despite’ : Voters brace for tax increases despite assurances from Labour and Tories… Scepticism over party promises… Public finances stretched

    Will we never learn? The more the Uniparty promise to give us back – out of our own money, the more we vote for them.

    Like most of the big title frontpages the FT shuns embarrasing news of the Hackney drive-by shooting and prefers to report for sunnier climes: Marseille counts human cost of drug gang turf war… between local gangs Yoda and DZ Mafia – Yoda? Really?

    “The greatest teacher, failure is… You must unlearn what you have learned… Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” – there’s one for Star Wars fans. I’ve a question. If Yoda is so bloody wise how come his grammar and syntax are all over the place?

    But we digress. Yoda and DZ Mafia – odd names for French gangsters. Wise old pipe smoking Inspector Maigret used to go after criminals known as the Picardy Gang or “Picpus”

    Leader of Marseille’s ‘Yoda’ drug gang arrested in Morocco… Félix Bingui, the leader [of] one of the two main gangs in the southern French city, was arrested in Casablanca, French authorities said. (Le Monde, March 2024) – of all the drug gangs, in all the world…

    France’s second-largest city is in the grip of a bloody war between two rival gangs. Since the beginning of 2023, 42 people have been killed in the city of Marseille. Former allies are now turning on each other for control of drug-dealing points. Who are they? Using social media and encrypted messaging, the 20 Heures teams investigated… Mehdi A. L. heads DZ Mafia… Félix B. controls Yoda (France Info) – 20 heures… not 24 heures? Well, I suppose it is France and they do like to take some time off?

    Marseille: a narco-feud in the heart of the Mediterranean… 80 per cent of these murders can be attributed to the violent feud between two rival clans known as the DZ Mafia and the Yoda… Both belong to the Franco-Maghrebian crime syndicate, which has replaced the old Corsican mafia in the control of drug trafficking… ambushes are predominantly carried out in crowded areas, often in broad daylight and with overtly terrorist practices. The targets are not always individual members of rival gangs; there is often a tendency to shoot indiscriminately into the crowd, targeting entire drug-dealing squares where control is sought to be extended. (Atlas of Wars) – which is probably where we came in this morning and where we sign off. I’m sure the Met plod will get back to us on that in due course.

    The biased Trump verdict teaches us a few things;

    1. That old rambling idiot never garnered 81 million votes in 2020.
    2. It’s a very easy binary choice between good and evil.
    3. I suspect one of these Democrats will be assassinated/attacked as a result of this, and used a pretext to cancel the November election.
