    More Karmarlar-ing from the BBC?

      Hope you’ve got the pronunciation right Snuffy (it’s a “thing” at the moment) Kamala rhyming with Pamela and not Kam-arla apparently.

        I’m just surprised that I received a first placed slot as my broadband went wonky just as I posted the above. You are right Brissles. Kamala rhymes with Pamela but the BBC appear to be ignorant of that fact despite wasting vast amounts of TellyTax on their so-called Pronunciation Unit.

        In other rumours, I saw something that suggested that the BBC were in talks with Channel 4 about a possible merger. If true that would make some sense as I understand some of the Licence Fee money the BBC receive is paid to Channel 4 as a so-called ‘Public Broadcaster’.

        Stew Green to investigate?

        If Rachel and her PM keep with this boring Conservative ‘black hole’ in the public finances, I have a solution for the Labour Government: privatise the BBC. That Broadcasting House must be worth a few quid. It could be turned into public housing. I wonder if this will post?

          I think we should ditch the whole Creamola name spelling and just refer to her as Waynetta, as most British citizens understand the logic of our lovely lady much more than the gabble of an incoherent lightweight…

      In order to end this pronunciation controversy I propose that from now on the sobriquet Halfwit Harris is used. It has the advantage over her name of being a demonstrably accurate description of her.

      If you’d never heard her or heard of her before, you’d assume Harris must be a 200+ IQ genius according to her BBC fanclub..

      More popular than a generous, faithful, 24 year-old supermodel, billionaire girlfriend and more needed than a glass of water in the desert. A political powerhouse with the vision and skill to create an everlasting Utopia in America.

      On accomplished orator with no equal.

    “Musk’s X suspended in Brazil after ruling by judge”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y3rnl5qv3o

    A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has ordered the “immediate and complete suspension” of Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, in the country.

    In a statement, Alexandre de Moraes said the social media platform will be banned until X complies with all court orders and pays existing fines.

    Justice Moraes, who has been involved in a long-running row with X, had given the social media platform 24 hours to name a new legal representative or face suspension, with a deadline of Thursday evening.

    The platform is expected to be unavailable in the country within the next 24 hours.
    Justice Moraes has given companies such as Apple and Google a five-day deadline to remove X from its application stores.

    People attempting to access the platform after the ban through VPNs could be fined R$50,000 (£6.7k), according to local media reports.”

    Brazil’s new President / government seems to be cut from the same cloth as our new Prime Minister…

      Mr Miliband and his staff locked themselves inside a charity’s building on Askern Road after Donaldson got about five metres away and was waving his arms about and walking in front of traffic, the court heard”

      Media don’t even show any stills

    Starmer grew up in Surrey and attended Reigate Grammar School, a selective state school that became private during his time as a student there.

    While practicing law, Starmer focused largely on criminal defense work, with a special emphasis on human rights issues, both in the U.K. and overseas. He defended convicts sentenced to the death penalty in several Caribbean countries and was also a member of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s death penalty advisory panel from 2002 to 2008. In addition, he served as the human rights adviser to the Northern Ireland Policing Board (2003–08) and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). He would later cite his time in these roles as a major influence on his decision to run for Parliament.

    Far right eyes political earthquake as Germans head to the polls
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c05jvve89g3o

    ‘The far right is on the cusp of winning the most votes in German state elections for the first time since the Nazis.’

    Oh dear BBC : you are throwing your labels around so freely these days, you have no idea what you are saying:
    ‘”Nazi” is short for “Nationalsozialist”, which is the German word for “National Socialist”.’

    Mind you, I expect this clone doesn’t even know.

      Another day, another mass stabbing in Germany. This time in Siegen, North Rhine-Westphalia on a bus.

      When I lived in NRW about 60 years ago there were stabbings all the time – NOT.

    • Doublethinker says:

      The AfD will win most votes in the eastern Lander but will probably be blocked from power by an alliance of all the other parties, very similar to what happened in France earlier in the summer when the RN won most votes but didn’t gain power.
      But gradually the populist parties are gaining vote share and are forcing the established parties to change their rhetoric if not yet their implemented policies. Europe is moving towards populism and we can see that when faced with losing power or forming an alliance with populists or far left parties the Globalists always choose the far left.
      As mass migration continues to force Europeans and Americans to confront the growing threat of losing their cultures and homelands these Globalist/ left alliances will fall apart and the people will vote populists into power.
      At least they will if democracy is allowed to function freely but we can see that the Globalists are shoring up their position by resorting to anti democratic measures.
      They have been handing power from their national parliaments to supranational bodies or to reliably Globalist legal bodies and also filling their civil services with anti populists so that when Populists achieve power implementing populist policies will be difficult.
      They are using all forms of censorship to gull the people into keeping on voting for them or to believe that democracy is still functioning.
      Finally as we have seen in the UK they are using the legal system illegally to break and suppress any sign of populist protests. We call it two tier policing but that is just the tip of a very nasty police state iceberg.
      Everywhere in the West the people are starting to confront Globalism as they are beginning to see how it has wrecked their lives and their children’s futures.

        I notice how the Left treat the shift of opinion towards the right as something which must be stamped out, not something they should take on board and adjust what they do to cater for what the people want.

        This is fascism in it’s purest form. Not what the left-wing academics changed it to when they realised it applied to them. Now it actually has ‘far-right’ in the definition.

            We are witnessing the slow unfolding of events in the real world which give rise to the saying ‘If you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable.’.

            Starmer will do that if he stays in power long enough.

      Nobody hates like the Left. And nobody else has such stupendous double-standards.

    Up market, downmarket, art market edition

    Just as Gordon Brown picked the worst possible moment to flog our British gold reserves…

    So Keir Starmer times a severe dip in the market as the ideal moment to divest himself of a picture: Starmer moves Thatcher portrait from her former study (BBC); Sotheby’s sales slip as chill hits fine art market… Auctioneer’s core earnings plunge 88%… Arch-rival Christie’s also feels pain (FT)

    I jest of course. Our PM can’t actually flog the Thatcher painting to help finance his rather generous doctors pay deal. It probably belongs to the nation.

    Location of Thatcher portrait still a mystery (Telegraph)

    This is of course cheap political point scoring on the part of the Labour hierarchy.

    A story designed and crafted so as to distract the current news cycle, to inflame conservatives: MAGGIE REMOVED Fury as Sir Keir Starmer removes ‘unsettling’ portrait of Margaret Thatcher from study at No10 (The Sun); Thatcher still has lessons for today’s Tories (Charles Moore, Telegraph) ‘petty’ move after PM found it ‘unsettling’ (Daily Mail) and also, importantly, red meat chum thrown to thrill and excite Labour’s own Corbynista-minded support base:

    BBC’s Chris Packham sparks frenzy with response to Keir Starmer’s Margaret Thatcher row… Packham, 63, shared an image of a newspaper headline, “Outrage as Starmer removes Maggie’s portrait.” He added the caption: “Right, that’s it, I’m taking mine down too…” (Express)

    I’m inevitably reminded of: President Obama Explains Why Winston Churchill’s Bust Was Removed From the Oval Office (ABC News, 2016)

    Trump brings Churchill bust back to Oval Office (CNN, 2017)

    No 10 takes relaxed view as Biden removes Churchill bust from Oval Office (Guardian, 2021)

    That’s a well-travelled bust… sometimes these segueways…

    The serious broadsheet frontpage pin-ups are out in force: Stars align Venice festival draws Kidman on to red carpet for ‘Babygirl’ premier (FT Weekend); Kate Winslet… plays the wartime American photographer and model Lee Miller (Telegraph)

    Meanwhile, moving downmarket, so to speak…

    Nancy Dell’Olio I know Sven would want me at his funeral (Daily Mail)

    Further downmarket… Bargain basement…?

    No ‘painful’ times for Labour’s Angela! (Express); Day after PM warned of ‘painful’ times… Rayner’s raving (Express) – this is of course: Rayner the raver: deputy PM spotted behind decks at Ibiza club… Politicians of all stripes have been chasing the “brat” label all summer, but only one has come close to truly pulling off the role… Angela Rayner belting out lyrics to hit song in Ibiza nightclub (Guardian)

    One doubts the track was Chris de Burgh’s “The Lady in Red”

    I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
    I’ve never seen you shine so bright, mhm-hmm…

    The lady in red
    Is dancing with me, cheek to cheek

    (Not great art, perhaps, more your routine romantic ballard)

    With all this Oasis news currenty likely bewildering the Gen Z among us, even the up market FT finds an excuse to reference a old dad band: Orchestral Manoeuvres… The LA Philharmonic on tour

    While we’re flirting with the classical: Guillaume Diop ballet’s new idol (FT) – you guessed it… he’s black.

    No details are supplied but the moves thrown by our Ange are hardly of a balletic stamp – nor was her dancing of the cheek-to-cheek variety, as favoured by our Chris Burgh. She was obviously raving to some classic rave number…

    This is not the first time Rayner has been spotted out clubbing. In 2022, she took to the decks for a battle of the DJs charity event in Manchester… and played the rave classic Set You Free by N-Trance. (Guardian)

    Oh yeah
    When I hold you, baby
    Feel your heartbeat close to me (oh yeah)
    Wanna stay in your arms forever
    Only love can set you free

    Even the sometimes down-with-the-kids, occasionally ‘Brat’, Gruan has to concede: Song lyrics getting simpler, more repetitive, angry and self-obsessed – study

    Where were we with the news? Art immitating life perhaps?

    Starmer removes ‘unsettling’ £100,000 Thatcher portrait from 10 Downing Street (Independendent) – Unsettling, Sir Kier? Perhaps the eyes were following him around the room?

        But Ange at the decks in an Ibiza nightclub photos rather put the lie to that meme. It’s as if killjoy Oliver Cromwell Starmer had a right little raver as his chief lieutenant. I’m sure the audience at that gig were only partaking of the right-on variety of drugs.

      I have now reached the point where everything about that man repels me.

      He is a snake. He is devoid of a real conscience. He cannot relate to the real world. The entire content of his personality is the standard nasty, shallow, far-left activist who thinks their own intellectual ideology is the only one that matters. His entire ‘character’ is fake where he panders to people he considers his like-minded peers or allies to gain their approval.

      It astounds me that this whining sycophant is our PM. I attribute that entirely to the fact the BBC abused their power to destroy the conservatives. They weakened Boris until the snakes like Javid and Sunak felt confident to stick the knives in hoping they would get to be PM.

      I see no way out of this death-spiral we are in until the BBC are brought to heel. And when you consider the like-minded OFCOM and civil service are 100% behind them, it won’t happen soon. We have to wait until this whole leftist farce controlling our country destroys itsself from within.

      Their biggest threat now is Nigel. Watch how they will go after him when the chance arises.

    In 2023, the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act became law. Due to concerns from vulnerable groups about how the rules might harm student welfare, we are stopping the implementation of the Act.

    This means that although the Act received Royal Assent last year, the government will no longer be bringing it into force. The Education Secretary will consider options for the Act, including repeal, in the longer term.

    https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2024/07/26/free-speech-act-what-you-need-to-know/

    The Act requires universities, colleges and students’ unions in England to take steps to ensure lawful freedom of speech on campus. 

    For example, there are fears that the legislation could protect those using hate speech on campuses, and that it could also push providers to overlook the safety and well-being of minority groups, including Jewish students.

    we are stopping the implementation of the Act.

    About nine months ago while researching a story, I found myself added to a large Telegram channel which was focused on selling drugs.
    I was then added to one about hacking and then one about stolen credit cards.

    I realised my Telegram settings had made it possible for people to add me to their channels without me doing anything. I kept the settings the same to see what would happen.”

    Sounds like the dark web, or whatever, was in Tidy’s pocket not mine.
    What kind of cyber expert neglects to view the settings…

      YOUR COMPLAINT:

      President Trump’s 100 Days President Biden’s 0 Day 

      Dear Winston Smith in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth,

      You covered President Trump’s 100 Days and then produced a Beyond 100 Days to hold power to account.

      Why have you not done the same for President Biden to hold power to account?

      ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

      I’m sure that her performance at the Democrat primary debate in 2020 was so bad that she threw towel in afterwards.She is stupid and no amount of MSM propaganda will be able to obscure that fact whenever she is confronted by a less than wholly sympathetic interviewer or by anyone who knows anything about what is being debated.
      Indeed the Democrats , increasingly conscious that the voters realise her very limited mental capacity, are trying the line that when you vote Democrat you aren’t voting for the Halfwit but for the team that surrounds her. A new and novel concept in US political campaigns but of course what was the case with Biden.

    There’s something unsettling about this article on the home page under BBC Wales: “A group of racially diverse artists invited to reinterpret a touring British Museum collection with links to slavery have raised issues around payment, representation and emotional support.”

    It’s not that the BBC have cherry picked a group with grievance about whitey, nor that these people were given their own opportunity to ‘respond’ to an exhibition and still weren’t happy. It’s not even that the first quote comes from a black neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD basket weaver / circus skills teacher. All this is unsurprising and grist to the BBC resentment mill.

    It’s the fact that the group is referred to as of “global majority heritage”. If minorities in Wales are referred to as “global majority” you can bet some high level tinkering is going on for behavioural engineering purposes. I expect this term to grow in use, and social shaming for noticing the sheer doublespeak will also increase.

      Been away so maybe this is old news: “After decades of controversies and dozens of survivors speaking out, the Church of England still faces fierce criticism for the way it responds when members of the clergy are accused of abuse.”

      The blurb at the bottom says BBC InDepth brings you “fresh perspectives that challenge assumptions, and deep reporting on the biggest issues to help you make sense of a complex world.”

      Religion editor Aleem Maqbool is the co-author. Another safe target for the BBC… in every other case it’s puddle deep.

    Of course, according to the BBC today, the shutting down of Twitter in Brazil is due to the ‘misinformation’ on the platform.

    Not a zealous, oppressive government.

    You can get huge fines if you try and access it via VPN too.

    ‘Misinformation’? Is anyone seeing what is really meant by this yet, with regards to the globalists?

    It seems to mean they want to shut down people criticising government officials for their mistakes or opinions. It also seems to mean we must only accept ‘truths’ that they decide are true.

    ‘The Ministry of Truth’, so to speak.

    It’s becoming illegal to even discuss topics like immigration. Before you say ‘nonsense’, think about the following hypothetical social media exchange. Or even a chat in real life

    A: I love diversity. I’d open the borders. Diversity is our strength.

    B: I don’t agree.

    A: Why not?

    Now, more or less, any honest reply to this from ‘B’ is now a potential a ‘non crime hate incident’ .

    You could get 3 years. Not an over the top statement is it, looking at recent and ongoing events?

      The Opposition, formally known as HM Official Opposition, refers to the largest political party in the House of Commons that is not in government. The leader of this party takes the title Leader of the Opposition. The role of the Official Opposition is to question and scrutinise the work of the Government. More generally, any party that is not a part of the government is described as an opposition party.

        ^^ the news is a headboard (on a bed) in a hotel bedroom in Brazil (might be red light area) was used for sex a few times and never replaced. THIS IS 2024 excitement!

      As someone in the Oasis queue after about 4 hours, only as a back up for the heir, I have had time for thought. I wasn’t aware my heir was that much into Oasis. It is obviously the hype. It shows the power of subliminal messaging. How many tickets did Oasis give to those at work at the BBC and politicians. If Sir Keir gets 4 tickets will he declare them. (I think he had 4 for Taylor Swift). I presume Angie will have too great a headache to get in the queue like lesser mortals, so if she is seen at a concert, we can be jolly sure she was given the tickets. I really am sure Orwell was onto something with Animal Farm. All animals are created equal, except those in the Labour Party.

    The 17-year-old was targeted by a man as she walked through Sonderborg
    She was knocked to the ground by the attacker who tried to undress her
    But she used pepper spray on the man to bring the assault to an end
    As pepper spray is illegal in Denmark officials say she will be prosecuted
