Against my better judgment I am watching Wolf Hall on BBC1. We are only 30 seconds into it and I have seen a nun who appears to be on Indian descent. I wasn’t aware there were many nuns of Indian descent in Tudor England. I could be corrected.
Deborah Perhaps it could be turned into one of those drinking games – every time you spot a tick box colour out of context – take a swig …
And how long before I got drunk? At least I don’t think they will manage to weave ‘climate change’ into Wolf Hall. If they do I will eat my hat.
Deborah – yes – and there my idea fails . One day – when /if sense returns – they’ll look at this time and wonder what we / they were thinking … bit like the self destruction of jaguar ..
I think the climate thing can be added to the list

I loved Wolf Hall in 2015.
They decided to make a second season in 2024 but couldn’t get out of their own dogma.
As soon as I see 10% of Henry VIII’s court – 1536 AD – is black, including his privy counsel, I nope out.
What is the point in the costumes, the speech patterns, the sets if you’re going to shove 2020’s politics into the story?
It destroys the verisimilitude- you may as well have the actors drinking from Starbucks cups.

1.57 million have now signed the petition.
BBCnews have a habit of tweeting a story when a petition reaches 1 million 10 examples
eg the ban fireworks petition from 2 week ago.
Latest from Springsters Petrify :- Rachel Reeves actually said she read the Economist, whilst making the morning tea at the Bank of England.
I rather hope a vendor of ginger nuts does a maliciously viral advert…
Someone on the X suggested the petition might make 2 million by midnight Sunday … it might well make it …
The Manchester George Floyd did step forward and for 2 seconds his hand was in the officer’s personal space
but 19,000 people think the cop’s violence was too much
Any of those cops at Manchester airport!
It looked as though one of the police officers kicked the man on the ground.
I noticed that the bBC managed to bury the Reeves lies in an article about a difficult week. Job done and no question of whether there might be questions about her judgement and her role as Chancellor.
Any news of the incidents at Gatwick, Euston, Chester etc?
BBC 10 pm news
A long feature by Feargal Keane in the Republic of Ireland. An election is imminent and immigration is an issue.
Initially there was some apparent sympathy for dumping 250 asylum seekers on a 250 population village.
But it soon migrated into ‘far right’ ‘antisemitic’ name calling. He was virtually wetting himself as he tried to persuade a local protestor that she didn’t want the ‘far right’ on her side.
It was absolutely desperate.
The feature ended with the immediate deportation of people who had no right to be in the Republic. They were put on a ferry and ……..sent to the UK.!!!!! No negative comment whatever. But compare and contrast if the UK should try to do this.
The excruciating BBC at their selective far left worst.
= an old wheeze, first tested in the modern era with a selection of the worst tinker families on the island, €5000 each family member with a pulse and as much diesel as they could carry to Pembroke, Fishguard, Holyhead etcetera…
“Patrick! , oi’ve an idea!”

The coming election is going to be slightly more interesting than usual.
In Canada Ezra Levant has been arrested .
From his X account
” I was arrested two hours ago, handcuffed, searched and jailed for “causing a disturbance”.
I was just released moments ago.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance — I was standing by myself on a public sidewalk, silently filming a grotesque pro-Hamas mannequin in a Jewish neighbourhood — a reenactment of Hamas leader Yayha Sinwar. It would be like someone reenacting Hitler — and police were stopping me from filming it.
I was pushed away from it by one officer. And another officer, named Macduff, said if I didn’t go to a special “free speech zone” they’d set up far away, I’d be arrested. I told him Canada was my free speech zone, I was a citizen and taxpayer, and I would not get off the sidewalk.
Macduff said that was causing a reaction. I said the hysterical reaction of foreign thugs who hate Jews (and most other Canadians) doesn’t give them a veto over my Charter rights.
Macduff said he “was the law”. I told him no, he was a servant of the law. So he arrested me and had me taken to jail. I was just released and I’ll have more to say — including in a lawsuit against Macduff and
