And here I am : Christmas No. 1 !!!.
Well, Christmas Eve at least if Fed is still sober enough to start a new thread for Xmas day.
Anyway, my point is this:
Just watching the second episode of the new BBC drama ‘Wolf Hall’ about Thomas Cromwell 500 years ago.
I wrote a comment earlier about how I didn’t realise how many BAME we had. Well – it seems the BBC have done their usual trick of keeping the numbers down for the first episode to get us watching then going full-on agenda. Blacks are everywhere !. One princess had 3 ladies in waiting. 2 were black.
But the cherry on the cake was the daughter of Cardinal Wolsey:
‘Wolsey’s affairs prospered and by 1514 he had become the controlling figure in virtually all matters of state. He also held important ecclesiastical appointments. These included the Archbishop of York—the second most important role in the English church—and that of papal legate. His appointment as a cardinal by Pope Leo X in 1515 gave him precedence over all other English clergy.’
Here she is:
And the amazing thing is that he had this clearly BAME daughter with a woman called ‘Joan Larke’.
Beyond ridiculous, blatant, racist lies by the BBC. Again. Why do people think that the BBC re-writing history for their own far-Left political agenda is OK ?.
I would say ‘Enough is enough’ about this bullshit – but apparently that gets me 2 years in prison under creepy Starmer.
Apart from that, the program is way, way above the quality I expect from the BBC now. So I checked and sure enough they didn’t make it. It was outsourced to ‘Playground Entertainment and Company Pictures’ and I am 100% certain the BAME are directives from the BBC.
The BBC ‘executive producer’ Polly Hill jumped shift as head of the equally woke ‘ITV drama’ to the BBC. She quit the BBC to move to ITV in 2016 and then moved back again. As you will expect these days, it is a woman.
I wonder if Polly knows how she has been instrumental in destroying the quality of British drama.
I am reading John C’s first post, and I am watching Wolf Hall at the same time. Cromwell’s daughter has appeared. She doesn’t to be from the global majority (is that the right description?) but she does have an American accent (possibly with a hint of French) but I am terribly confused.
Also a non white detective in new season of Death in Paradise. The diversity directive that has infected the drama and entertainment production companies continues apace. Sod the fact they may not be any good, just get the number of non white actors in to make the quotient required.
Started to binge watch the remake Day of the Jackal. Can’t fault Eddy Redmaynes performance but oh dear dear dear, the black female MI6 “operative” can’t act her way out of a paper bag, then there’s her family shooed in and her boss for good measure. AND it’s not just me saying this. I always check viewers comments on IMDB for films and dramas, and I’m not alone in my thoughts. It’s no longer the best actor in casting, it’s making sure there’s equality in skin colour.
I always go to the user reviews then sorth them by date so you get the ones after the initial positive review bombing.
Of ocurse the BBC only ever report negative bombing for the most ridiculous woke films – but it goes on much, much more to support crap like Dr Who.
I did not watch this new Death in Paradise. This is a programme where everyone is BAME except the British detective, but no, that is not good enough any more, he has to be BAME too.
The whole concept of the programme is that the British detective is like a fish out of water at first, but eventually begins to fit in with life in this strange Anglo-French island. Take that away and what is the point? There is none, so this is another pointless, woke BBC show I cannot be bothered to watch. It feels much better not to watch it!
The pic is of Wolsey’s daughter, which I agree was probably one of the worst in your face bits of casting ever.
I seem to remember that Jane Seymour’s sister? who married Cromwells son Gregory, is black? So we are really supposed to be colour blind in this instance as opposed to real life where we are expected to be hyper sensitive to peoples racial sensitivities and cultural differences.
Merry Christmas everyone!
As someone once pointed out, Britain was full of black people (they might even have been the majority) from Roman times until about the middle of the 19th century, when photography was invented. Then, they all mysteriously vanished and don’t appear in photographs until the 1950s. It’s a baffling mystery which BBC/Guardian-types and pretend-historians are unable to solve.
It is believed by experts, that these people disappeared down mysterious black holes that popped up (or should that be ‘popped down’) in parts of Britain. Tory government responsible?
I just could not watch it. I enjoyed the first two series, but this has crossed a line with me. It is bad enough having umpteen BAME characters in drama set in a 1950s village such as Father Brown, but these were real people and it is our actual history. It is just the woke BBC giving the British people two fingers, they are showing their utter contempt for us. It is nothing more than gaslighting. So I refuse to watch, and feel better for it.
When will the bBC wake up to the fact that their preferred Government and government is driving the UK into a very hard wall at great speed. Sadly they are so politically arrogant that they are unable to see the wall. Stop paying the tax.
BBC presenters “we are IMPARTIAL IMPARTIAL IMPARTIAL”
BBC presenter Paul Lewis Money tweets An interesting list of broadly good things the government has done which (generally) you won’t read elsewhere including £100m for hospices and steps towards improving the justice system.
Quotes @BylineTimes Dec 20
🔴All the Big Government Reforms the Media Hasn’t Been Telling You About
You won’t have read much about these announcements over the past few weeks
FFS the Byline Times is a scurrilous lefty propaganda rag
For a start The government has imposed hundreds of millions of new National Insurance costs on hospices each year
So giving back £100m over 2 years is hardly impressive.
Stew
Comrade Lewis works very hard for his ‘gong ‘ ….i think he left out the amount of additional taxes hospices will have to pay because of the budget of Rachel from accounts ….i noticed the way this Marxist avoided any criticism of the mess his regime made of the winter fuel allowance –
so bad that the DWP had to put on extra staff to deal with late claims for the pensioner credit thing …
Let’s hope the regime actually lose money on new pensioner credit claims ( im anti welfare but think older people deserve a fair shake ) ….
I used to be a Covid numbers junky, from watching Valance asking for the next slide please to still regularly checking the UKHSA dashboard.
But for the last 3 weeks I have a new darling. I keep checking the general election petition. Probably it is the Waspi ladies but the speed of signings has definitely speeded up. As I type on Sunday evening, the petition is just 3 thousand short of 3 million. I know of course it isn’t going to result in a general election but it should make Labour realise the level of the discontent.
I don’t believe it will have any effect on the Labour leader Deborah, I think he is totally blind to any criticism, however he would have problems trying to jail 3 million people! Hopefully, one positive outcome will be a growing realisation that by their minimal reporting on the petition, seemingly to save Labour faces, the BBC have displayed their political allegiance beyond any doubt and hopefully, many, many more people will see them for who and what they really are.
The BBC went from telling us Hamas control Gaza and they are designated a terrorist organisation to omitting the ‘terrorist’ bit completely.
Now they don’t even tell us it is Hamas. They give them full credibility as a duly elected government.
‘Gaza’s civil defence agency spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal told the AFP news agency that the school had been repurposed as a shelter for Palestinians displaced by the war.
One displaced man who had been staying at the school, Abu, told BBC Arabic that the attack came while he was asleep.’
AFP and BBC. Both utterly untrustworthy. Both are left-wing activist organisations. Either name is a badge of dishonesty for me now.
BBC “Elon Musk’s curious fixation with Britain ” by Mike Wendling
is rightly double ratioed and CCBGB’d
When someone has a concern about something
and you turn around and say they have a fixation
That is not proper argument, that is smear , dismissal etc.
The Far Left BBC fear every thing about Elon . Untouchable . Unbribable. Smart . Concerned about authoritarian Britain ….
Now that the Marxists are threatening new restrictions to prevent giving funds to reform if I was him I’d do it right now .
… and as for Mandelson trying to ‘charm ‘ the trump government – I reckon he’ll be told where to go …..I hope mr trump demands 5% nato contributions or sanctions to finish off the uk / eu economy …
And now, all of a sudden, liebour remember their manifesto pledges, what a surprise for us all.
Well, only one, self serving one :
votes for 16 year olds. They are not even allowed to drive.
Medical science tells us their brains are not fully formed, so likely to believe bbc and socialist teachers’ far left lies.
Insurance actuaries know this from the accident statistics for 17 – 25 year olds, the risk assessment part of the brain does not work properly.
The law says that 16 and 17 year olds can legally have sex but, as they are legally children, they are given more protection in law. It is illegal for an adult in a position of trust or responsibility to have sex with a 16 or 17 year old.
Teenagers are no longer legally allowed to marry, even with parental permission, until the age of 18. A 16-year-old is legally allowed to leave home without parental consent but parents remain responsible for their child’s wellbeing until they are 18, so they may still require support.
Unlikely to happen. Members of the government with an IQ greater than 100 (both of them) have noticed that Reform, AfD and National Rally are attracting huge amounts of support from teenagers. Extending the vote to 16 year olds may well result in the ‘law of unintended consequences’ coming into play.
Zephir
There is only one reason and one reason alone that Labour want to lower the voting age to 16. They see these children as potentially much more likely to vote for socialism than capitalism (useful idiots) and from my personal experience they are probably correct in this assumption.
Socialists of left and right always try to get to your kids.
14 years and no policy decisions … HA HA HA HAH AHA!
“Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has insisted she will not be rushed into policy positions, claiming there is no “quick fix” following the party’s defeat in July’s general election.”
She said it might be “counterproductive” for Reform, claiming people in the UK “don’t necessarily like to see politics being bought”.

Just reading about Mandelson as the uk ambassador to the court of presidenr trump – it seems Mandelson has – in the past -refereed to him as a ‘white supremicist ‘..
Sometimes looking at the ‘reasoning ‘ of the Marxists I wonder if I am missing something …? I get the impression mr trump and his team will have little time for Mandelson – or the Marxist UK – ….. we – voters -will suffer – but it will be worth it to get rid of the reds / blues ….
bbc ? we all remember what you said about Liz Truss and that mini budget:
“Economy flatlines under Labour as growth is revised down to ZERO in months after election amid fears of a 2025 ‘recession made in Downing Street’
Last night the The Confederation of British Industry (CBI)said the economy was heading for the ‘worst of all worlds’ in 2025 as businesses grapple with Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ ‘tax-bomb’ fiscal statement.
The employers’ organisation said the outlook for the start of 2025 was ‘firmly negative’ across all main sectors, including manufacturing, services and retail – with firms directly blaming the £25 billion Budget hike in employers’ National Insurance.
The ONS today said that UK gross domestic product (GDP) showed no growth between July and September, in the run up to the Autumn budget.
Statisticians had previously estimated 0.1 per cent growth for the quarter.
The ONS also revised down its growth reading for the second quarter of 2024, to 0.4 per cent. In September, it said it thought GDP had increased by 0.5 per cent, which was itself a reduction on previous estimates.”
An interview of monumental importance from Tucker with Bobby Kennedy. It says what people who closely watch the war in Ukraine have been saying since it started.
What he says makes sense from start to finish. Unlike the rhetoric-for-idiots the BBC churn out.
The BBC will ignore this interview completely because they are part of the rise of the new Nazis we hope Trump will stop. Yet they will quickly print any insults and slurs against Trump from any book written by someone who hates him and is looking to cash in.
This is a misleading story of epic proportions by the BBC’s anti-semetic Sarah Rainsford (who was also expelled from Russia). If you read around, this woman is a typical BBC activist full of hate.
Sarah writes this article in true Dunkirk spirit giving the impression that these women are helping Ukraine to victory.
It’s grossly misleading. If the BBC had any interest in ‘news’, the article would be informing us of the absolutely desperate situation in Ukraine. But Sarah is more interested in pushing the feminist angle for her own agenda. That is more important to these people than truth.
Here is one of the women who ‘shoot down drones’ in a ridiculouse fake picture of door-to-door clearance:
When you actually read between the lines, you realise a man does all the shooting and they are just there to help him by listening for the drones. They say they have shot down 3 in six months. I doubt they have shot down a single one with that old machine gun.
The rest of the article degenerates into the usual BBC rhetoric of how evil Russia are with nonsense paragraphs like this:
‘When Bucha was taken over, Russian forces began going house to house. They raped and they murdered. Then one day, a rumour spread that the occupiers were coming to kill the children.’
They didn’t.
And despite the article showing us just how desperate things are, they are still pretending Ukraine can win!.
“Life has changed, all our plans have been torn apart. But I’m here to help speed up the end of this war. As our girls here say, it won’t end without us.”
Absolute rubbish.
The BBC are using their trick of telling blatant lies they clearly wrote themselves and pretending they are just quotes of what other people said has become rife now. And those quotes ALWAYS push the BBC’s own agenda. Its completely dishonest.
GB News sounds more like the BBC every day: the Magdeburg killing has nothing to do with immigration, the killer was just a madman, the AfD are Nazis etc.
‘Disgraceful’ far-right German group are using the Magdeburg attack ‘for their own political gain’
The suspect is a foreigner. He originates from a Middle Eastern country. Five people were killed in a method widely associated with Islamist extremists. The people murdered were Europeans. The suspect was previously known to the authorities, who failed to act.
Those are the facts and that’s all we need to know. Whether the individual was a former Muslim, an active Muslim practising Taqiyya, an Islamophobe, an admirer of Israel, was favourably inclined towards the AfD, had mental problems or several of the above (even if contradictory), isn’t really the issue. For many Germans, it is a crime of immigration policy and the failures of multiculturalism, resulting in a crime that should not, in the natural world, have ever occurred.
Incidentally, notice how the BBC refers to the victims as ‘a child and four adults’. The four adults were women – usually the BBC are keen to throw in allegations of gender-based violence and misogyny. Nor do they mention featuring the accused in one of their programmes in 2019.
It would be easy to forget how the Tories so recently binned a prime minister and her chancellor as a result of a dodgy budget and a manufactured market blip.
Now we have a Labour-branded administration, an ever more ravenous public sector on our backs and the real economy in the shitter.
The outlook is so bad that our BBC calls a temporary ceasefire on the foreign bang-bang news, an armistace on the misogyny front and even a brief cessation of hostilities against Donald Trump…
UK economy had zero growth between July and September (BBC) – top online news headline there from our BBC. Naturally your Mr AsI always looks for the irony of subtle messaging within the news presentation – and there it is – our BBC Business reporter Jennifer Meierhans (or her sub-editor, perhaps) deploys a Getty Images picture of a concerned-looking young woman at her lap top, puzzling over the accounts in what appears to be a trendy but empty cafe or coffee shop. And she just happens to be of far east asian ethnicity.

I was just about to rant further about the BBC’s irritating over-use of random female ethnic characters in their online news Getty Images pics – but I’ll have to take it back now – the image was illustrating this report: No ‘quick fix’ for Tories, says Kemi Badenoch (BBC)
I’m oddly reminded of that Scottish grumbler, Private Frazer, from the TV comedy Dad’s Army: “We’re all doomed, I tell ee, doomed!”
…………………………………………………………………..
The name Olukemi is a girl’s name meaning “God cares for me”.
Meaning of Olúwafúntọ́
One given by the lord to raise, look after
Adégòkèis both a surname and a given name of Yoruba origin meaning “the crown or royalty has ascended to the top, or has gained advancement”
The surname Badenoch comes from the Gaelic word bàithteanach, which means “submerged lands”. It refers to the tendency of the Spey River to overflow its banks. The surname is associated with the province of Badenoch in Inverness.
“Actor Thandiwe Newton reclaims original spelling of her name

This article is more than 3 years old
“taking back what’s mine” though she never lived there
…………………………..
There is evidence that, during times of famine, as occurred from 1802 to 1804 (known as the madlathule, or “eat and be silent”), cannibalism became endemic in Zululand and parts of Natal.
I know some kids with Hippy parents who would be glad not to revert to their given names. An obscure German band from the 70s named their son Restless Skylight Transistor Child. Imagine going to school with that.
“He will bring extensive foreign and economic policy knowledge, strong business links and experience at the highest levels of government to the role – all of which will be crucial as the UK seeks to continue deepening its relationship with one of its closest allies. ”
It is wonderful to welcome Peter back to the team. He offers a wealth of experience in trade, economic and foreign policy from his years in government and the private sector.
He will arrive in Washington DC as we deepen our enduring alliance with the incoming United States administration, particularly on growth and security.
I wonder if I misheard the bbbc radio newcastle news this morning but I’m certain I heard them say on two separate news bulletins that pensioners were getting a £1,900 rise.
It may be over 5 years but I didn’t hear that part.
I think it’s typical bbbc giving out misleading information and many people listening would think the pensioners were getting a £1,900 in April.
I’ve also heard the GB News lefties saying pensioners will get £1,000 rise in April. The same ones who also say a third of pensioners are millionaires and all GBN seem to counter this with is a half hearted “Their houses have gone up in value”
I don’t know any millionaire pensioners here in Sunderland.
Maybe every pensioner down south is a millionaire to make these figures true but I am disappointed at how easy a ride the GBN lefties always get.
I know that my obsession with the way the BBC hardly
ever use indigenous Brits in imaging on their ” cost of living”
internet features, has reached the equivalent of Mel Gibson’s
in the film ” Conspiracy Theory.”
The BBC may retort that they use Getty’s imaging. And
that Getty’s employ very few indigenous Brits. And in
fact NO pale stale white males. The BBC may say that
Getty’s and them are using “positive discrimination.”
I see nothing positive about it. For me it seems more like
inverted racism.
The yoga instructor stabbed has been praised by women’s charities for speaking out: “The guilt, shame and fear we can feel as women will be outshone by courage, fierceness and our ability to connect […] Raise your voice and share your stories. Often we don’t realise how powerful we are.”
People did raise their voices and share stories. But because they knew the problem wasn’t about generic ‘males’ they ended up in jail, where they got to realise how powerful the state is.
BBC Newsround — “Stonehenge’s purpose may have been to unite ancient Britain, say experts.”
“The huge effort it would have taken to move the large stones hundreds of miles at a time when only primitive tools were available, shows they had an important purpose, possibly welcoming new settlers to Britain from Europe…”
Wiki says of the lead expert: “Parker Pearson became interested in Marxism. In the 1984 anthology Ideology, Power and Prehistory [he] published a paper in which he examined the pre-state societies of Jutland from a Marxist perspective.”
Evidence has also been found of a mystic ritual involving the throwing of milkshakes at far-right druids.
The biggest tool in the lefty toolbox is the ability to twist everything they touch with a Marxist supporting lie to add credence to totally crap suppositions that can be made to support the principle of Marxism. They suppose that if the crap is coming from so called “experts” the lies will be seen as believable proof and evidence however ridiculous it actually is. The only question open for debate is do they do it to convince themselves or to dupe others?
If Farage really gets in bed with that slime it’s got to over for him credibility wise.
And apparently boxer Fury is going to have a festive blowout, then look for a Anthony Joshua fight.
Blowout? like he’s been on diet anytime recently.
Joshua fight? Why bother, Ukrainian champ Oleksandr Usyk, pro war but a draft dodger, has beaten both of them twice..
Eddy,
I also wondered about Farage teaming up with mandelson.
My guess is that Nigel will use the opportunities presented to strengthen Reform.
In effect he will be using mandelson.
Obviously he will not be doing this to help Labour get re-elected so anything gained will be presented as a Reform victory.
TTK would be mad to let Nigel in but I think he is anyway.
Best situation is that TTK turns down Nigel’s help offer and mandelson makes a dogs breakfast of things USA with the help of Lammy and other political giants.
Then, after the next election, PM Farage gets everything sorted as well as a bumper trade deal with the USA.
Comment … “Hungary, do not let the EU and WEF destroy your country. Don’t allow so called cheap labour from incompatible cultures, it will destroy you.”
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán linked immigration to Friday’s deadly attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which left five dead and about 200 injured. He argued that such incidents have only occurred since the start of the migration crisis, highlighting the connection between illegal immigration and terrorism in Western Europe. The suspected perpetrator, 50-year-old Taleb A., a psychiatrist who had lived in Germany for two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right, anti-immigrant politics. His social media posts criticized German authorities and Islamism in Europe. Orbán’s comments reflect Hungary’s continued resistance to EU migration policies.”

TWatO Watch #1 – well, that is interesting, I think we know who is looting the food aid into Gaza
Gent from the World Health Organisation was interviewed after Jonny Dymond had slung some mud at Bibi Netanyahu. This gent from WHO, sorry did not catch the name but it sounded Arab or Palestinian to me so no conflict of interest at the BBC whatsoever(! smirk!) , mentioned in passing that food aid lorries, presumably coming into Gaza from Israel were being looted.
Would that be by men (or women) with guns? I think we know a political terror group, proscribed by the UK Government (but not by the BBC) who would do such things as loot aid lorries. Sadly there were no questions asked by Jonny Dymond as to who might loot food aid coming into Gaza. Journalist? PAH! BBC Presenter? Double PAH!
BBC reports that Charles Windsor is to do the Christmas speech from a place of the approved UK religion – yes it’s a mosque in Tower Hamlets – sponsored by et I had …cases of cash welcome ….
Fed, I think you may have that wrong. At lunchtime on TWatO the BBC remarked about previous monarchs only doing three Christmas broadcasts away from the Royal Palaces. The last being the much-missed good Queen Lilibet who did one broadcast from a military barracks at Windsor. King Charles because he has been treated for cancer this year wanted to do it somewhere related to medicine and so he his doing it from, if I recall correctly, a chapel attached to the Middlesex Hospital in Fitzrovia.
Excuse my ignorance but I had to check where Fitzrovia is – (me thinking it was over the border from Moldovia or some other fairytale country where the soldiers dress like Nutcrackers). Hmmm not far out, its around Soho in dressy-up theatreland).
“Counter-protester who threatened Tommy Robinson and the EDL during riots while holding ‘ fake AK-47’ is jailed for 27 months.

Equality, diversity and inclusion
Science should be open to everyone, without barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. A scientific community that is as diverse and inclusive as possible can only improve what it is able to achieve.
Of course, she is using the wrong terminology, and not all ‘Western’ science is junk. Alchemists, wizards, and spooks set up the Royal Society. Their job is to occult knowledge so that the profane have no access to actual knowledge. Most of what most people believe is wrong. It is not by coincidence that the Royal Society pushes gender fluidity, Global Climate Boiling Change, Marxism, and other rubbish. Its job has always been to serve its political masters, not research and discover actual knowledge.
Newton was a con man, and his work, like Einstein’s, produced nothing worthwhile. Einstein’s work is so bad a five-year-old can see through it. One of England’s leading physicists, president of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1951 to 1953 and once an acknowledged leader in Special Relativity, exposed the nonsense decades ago. He was, of course, shunned and ignored. He wrote the book.
“Science at the Crossroads” in the early 70s – available on Amazon.
Every child who does physics should be forced to read and refute this book. There have been thousands of scientists who have refuted SR and GR, but they have been silenced.
According to the theory, you have two observers, A and B, in different frames of reference. Assume B is moving away from A at a constant speed close to c. According to the theory, A sees the clock in B’s frame of reference as slowing down almost to a standstill. But hold on. The principle of relativity also states there can be no preferred frame of reference, so from B’s perspective, A is moving away from him close to the speed of light, so the clock in A’s frame of reference is also almost standing still. This is logically impossible. There is no evidence for any of it. All of Einstein’s science was dreamt up using Gedankenexperiments. In other words, he used his fantasy and had a wild imagination. The nonsense can only be salvaged if mathematics trumps all, and in theoretical physics, it does. In spades. Aristotle lost, and Plato won, which is almost everything you believe is true about the universe isn’t.

And here I am : Christmas No. 1 !!!.
Well, Christmas Eve at least if Fed is still sober enough to start a new thread for Xmas day.
Anyway, my point is this:
Just watching the second episode of the new BBC drama ‘Wolf Hall’ about Thomas Cromwell 500 years ago.
I wrote a comment earlier about how I didn’t realise how many BAME we had. Well – it seems the BBC have done their usual trick of keeping the numbers down for the first episode to get us watching then going full-on agenda. Blacks are everywhere !. One princess had 3 ladies in waiting. 2 were black.
But the cherry on the cake was the daughter of Cardinal Wolsey:
‘Wolsey’s affairs prospered and by 1514 he had become the controlling figure in virtually all matters of state. He also held important ecclesiastical appointments. These included the Archbishop of York—the second most important role in the English church—and that of papal legate. His appointment as a cardinal by Pope Leo X in 1515 gave him precedence over all other English clergy.’
Here she is:
And the amazing thing is that he had this clearly BAME daughter with a woman called ‘Joan Larke’.
Beyond ridiculous, blatant, racist lies by the BBC. Again. Why do people think that the BBC re-writing history for their own far-Left political agenda is OK ?.
I would say ‘Enough is enough’ about this bullshit – but apparently that gets me 2 years in prison under creepy Starmer.
Apart from that, the program is way, way above the quality I expect from the BBC now. So I checked and sure enough they didn’t make it. It was outsourced to ‘Playground Entertainment and Company Pictures’ and I am 100% certain the BAME are directives from the BBC.
The BBC ‘executive producer’ Polly Hill jumped shift as head of the equally woke ‘ITV drama’ to the BBC. She quit the BBC to move to ITV in 2016 and then moved back again. As you will expect these days, it is a woman.
I wonder if Polly knows how she has been instrumental in destroying the quality of British drama.

I am reading John C’s first post, and I am watching Wolf Hall at the same time. Cromwell’s daughter has appeared. She doesn’t to be from the global majority (is that the right description?) but she does have an American accent (possibly with a hint of French) but I am terribly confused.

Also a non white detective in new season of Death in Paradise. The diversity directive that has infected the drama and entertainment production companies continues apace. Sod the fact they may not be any good, just get the number of non white actors in to make the quotient required.
Started to binge watch the remake Day of the Jackal. Can’t fault Eddy Redmaynes performance but oh dear dear dear, the black female MI6 “operative” can’t act her way out of a paper bag, then there’s her family shooed in and her boss for good measure. AND it’s not just me saying this. I always check viewers comments on IMDB for films and dramas, and I’m not alone in my thoughts. It’s no longer the best actor in casting, it’s making sure there’s equality in skin colour.

Brissles:
I did not watch this new Death in Paradise. This is a programme where everyone is BAME except the British detective, but no, that is not good enough any more, he has to be BAME too.
The whole concept of the programme is that the British detective is like a fish out of water at first, but eventually begins to fit in with life in this strange Anglo-French island. Take that away and what is the point? There is none, so this is another pointless, woke BBC show I cannot be bothered to watch. It feels much better not to watch it!

The pic is of Wolsey’s daughter, which I agree was probably one of the worst in your face bits of casting ever.
I seem to remember that Jane Seymour’s sister? who married Cromwells son Gregory, is black? So we are really supposed to be colour blind in this instance as opposed to real life where we are expected to be hyper sensitive to peoples racial sensitivities and cultural differences.
Merry Christmas everyone!

As someone once pointed out, Britain was full of black people (they might even have been the majority) from Roman times until about the middle of the 19th century, when photography was invented. Then, they all mysteriously vanished and don’t appear in photographs until the 1950s. It’s a baffling mystery which BBC/Guardian-types and pretend-historians are unable to solve.

I just could not watch it. I enjoyed the first two series, but this has crossed a line with me. It is bad enough having umpteen BAME characters in drama set in a 1950s village such as Father Brown, but these were real people and it is our actual history. It is just the woke BBC giving the British people two fingers, they are showing their utter contempt for us. It is nothing more than gaslighting. So I refuse to watch, and feel better for it.

But for the last 3 weeks I have a new darling. I keep checking the general election petition. Probably it is the Waspi ladies but the speed of signings has definitely speeded up. As I type on Sunday evening, the petition is just 3 thousand short of 3 million. I know of course it isn’t going to result in a general election but it should make Labour realise the level of the discontent.

Children among dozens killed in Israeli strikes, Gaza officials say

Here’s a new low:
The BBC went from telling us Hamas control Gaza and they are designated a terrorist organisation to omitting the ‘terrorist’ bit completely.
Now they don’t even tell us it is Hamas. They give them full credibility as a duly elected government.
‘Gaza’s civil defence agency spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal told the AFP news agency that the school had been repurposed as a shelter for Palestinians displaced by the war.
One displaced man who had been staying at the school, Abu, told BBC Arabic that the attack came while he was asleep.’
AFP and BBC. Both utterly untrustworthy. Both are left-wing activist organisations. Either name is a badge of dishonesty for me now.

And now, all of a sudden, liebour remember their manifesto pledges, what a surprise for us all.
Well, only one, self serving one :
votes for 16 year olds. They are not even allowed to drive.
Medical science tells us their brains are not fully formed, so likely to believe bbc and socialist teachers’ far left lies.
Insurance actuaries know this from the accident statistics for 17 – 25 year olds, the risk assessment part of the brain does not work properly.
The law says that 16 and 17 year olds can legally have sex but, as they are legally children, they are given more protection in law. It is illegal for an adult in a position of trust or responsibility to have sex with a 16 or 17 year old.
Teenagers are no longer legally allowed to marry, even with parental permission, until the age of 18. A 16-year-old is legally allowed to leave home without parental consent but parents remain responsible for their child’s wellbeing until they are 18, so they may still require support.

Unlikely to happen. Members of the government with an IQ greater than 100 (both of them) have noticed that Reform, AfD and National Rally are attracting huge amounts of support from teenagers.

bbc ? we all remember what you said about Liz Truss and that mini budget:
“Economy flatlines under Labour as growth is revised down to ZERO in months after election amid fears of a 2025 ‘recession made in Downing Street’
Last night the The Confederation of British Industry (CBI)said the economy was heading for the ‘worst of all worlds’ in 2025 as businesses grapple with Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ ‘tax-bomb’ fiscal statement.
The employers’ organisation said the outlook for the start of 2025 was ‘firmly negative’ across all main sectors, including manufacturing, services and retail – with firms directly blaming the £25 billion Budget hike in employers’ National Insurance.
The ONS today said that UK gross domestic product (GDP) showed no growth between July and September, in the run up to the Autumn budget.
Statisticians had previously estimated 0.1 per cent growth for the quarter.
The ONS also revised down its growth reading for the second quarter of 2024, to 0.4 per cent. In September, it said it thought GDP had increased by 0.5 per cent, which was itself a reduction on previous estimates.”

What he says makes sense from start to finish. Unlike the rhetoric-for-idiots the BBC churn out.

‘It’s scary – but so’s giving birth’: The female unit gunning down Russian drones
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62gx6rvv5wo
This is a misleading story of epic proportions by the BBC’s anti-semetic Sarah Rainsford (who was also expelled from Russia). If you read around, this woman is a typical BBC activist full of hate.
Sarah writes this article in true Dunkirk spirit giving the impression that these women are helping Ukraine to victory.
It’s grossly misleading. If the BBC had any interest in ‘news’, the article would be informing us of the absolutely desperate situation in Ukraine. But Sarah is more interested in pushing the feminist angle for her own agenda. That is more important to these people than truth.
Here is one of the women who ‘shoot down drones’ in a ridiculouse fake picture of door-to-door clearance:
When you actually read between the lines, you realise a man does all the shooting and they are just there to help him by listening for the drones. They say they have shot down 3 in six months. I doubt they have shot down a single one with that old machine gun.
The rest of the article degenerates into the usual BBC rhetoric of how evil Russia are with nonsense paragraphs like this:
‘When Bucha was taken over, Russian forces began going house to house. They raped and they murdered. Then one day, a rumour spread that the occupiers were coming to kill the children.’
They didn’t.
And despite the article showing us just how desperate things are, they are still pretending Ukraine can win!.
“Life has changed, all our plans have been torn apart. But I’m here to help speed up the end of this war. As our girls here say, it won’t end without us.”
Absolute rubbish.
The BBC are using their trick of telling blatant lies they clearly wrote themselves and pretending they are just quotes of what other people said has become rife now. And those quotes ALWAYS push the BBC’s own agenda. Its completely dishonest.

The suspect is a foreigner. He originates from a Middle Eastern country. Five people were killed in a method widely associated with Islamist extremists. The people murdered were Europeans. The suspect was previously known to the authorities, who failed to act.
Those are the facts and that’s all we need to know. Whether the individual was a former Muslim, an active Muslim practising Taqiyya, an Islamophobe, an admirer of Israel, was favourably inclined towards the AfD, had mental problems or several of the above (even if contradictory), isn’t really the issue. For many Germans, it is a crime of immigration policy and the failures of multiculturalism, resulting in a crime that should not, in the natural world, have ever occurred.
Incidentally, notice how the BBC refers to the victims as ‘a child and four adults’. The four adults were women – usually the BBC are keen to throw in allegations of gender-based violence and misogyny. Nor do they mention featuring the accused in one of their programmes in 2019.

Eddy,
I also wondered about Farage teaming up with mandelson.
My guess is that Nigel will use the opportunities presented to strengthen Reform.
In effect he will be using mandelson.
Obviously he will not be doing this to help Labour get re-elected so anything gained will be presented as a Reform victory.
TTK would be mad to let Nigel in but I think he is anyway.
Best situation is that TTK turns down Nigel’s help offer and mandelson makes a dogs breakfast of things USA with the help of Lammy and other political giants.
Then, after the next election, PM Farage gets everything sorted as well as a bumper trade deal with the USA.

Comment … “Hungary, do not let the EU and WEF destroy your country. Don’t allow so called cheap labour from incompatible cultures, it will destroy you.”
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán linked immigration to Friday’s deadly attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, which left five dead and about 200 injured. He argued that such incidents have only occurred since the start of the migration crisis, highlighting the connection between illegal immigration and terrorism in Western Europe. The suspected perpetrator, 50-year-old Taleb A., a psychiatrist who had lived in Germany for two decades, expressed anti-Islam views and supported far-right, anti-immigrant politics. His social media posts criticized German authorities and Islamism in Europe. Orbán’s comments reflect Hungary’s continued resistance to EU migration policies.”

“The writers and contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race have a gift when it comes to inserting sexual innuendo and private-parts puns into nearly every minute of the show. They’re much more creative than some of their scripted-show counterparts. In fact, had the first sentence of this post been read aloud by RuPaul herself, we just know which words she’d emphasize to stick it to us. As Drag Race’s fourth season comes to a halt Monday night, we’re taking a look back at some of this season’s most over-the-top sexual wordplay.”

TWatO Watch #1 – well, that is interesting, I think we know who is looting the food aid into Gaza
Gent from the World Health Organisation was interviewed after Jonny Dymond had slung some mud at Bibi Netanyahu. This gent from WHO, sorry did not catch the name but it sounded Arab or Palestinian to me so no conflict of interest at the BBC whatsoever(! smirk!) , mentioned in passing that food aid lorries, presumably coming into Gaza from Israel were being looted.
Would that be by men (or women) with guns? I think we know a political terror group, proscribed by the UK Government (but not by the BBC) who would do such things as loot aid lorries. Sadly there were no questions asked by Jonny Dymond as to who might loot food aid coming into Gaza. Journalist? PAH! BBC Presenter? Double PAH!

Fed, I think you may have that wrong. At lunchtime on TWatO the BBC remarked about previous monarchs only doing three Christmas broadcasts away from the Royal Palaces. The last being the much-missed good Queen Lilibet who did one broadcast from a military barracks at Windsor. King Charles because he has been treated for cancer this year wanted to do it somewhere related to medicine and so he his doing it from, if I recall correctly, a chapel attached to the Middlesex Hospital in Fitzrovia.

Excuse my ignorance but I had to check where Fitzrovia is – (me thinking it was over the border from Moldovia or some other fairytale country where the soldiers dress like Nutcrackers). Hmmm not far out, its around Soho in dressy-up theatreland).

A counter-protestor who appeared in a social media video holding a decommissioned AK-47 assault rifle and making threats to ‘blow away’ the English Defence League has been jailed for 27 months.
The video clip played to the court, showed Khan, 49, fitting a magazine to the Kalashnikov and saying: ‘EDL we’re coming to f*** blow you away you m***’.”

Sophie Harvey, 25, and her boyfriend Elliot Benham, 25, accepted they had purchased abortion pills online, but she denied taking them.’
And there’s Tommy Robinson berated and maligned and jailed for reporting the truth.

How do we start to decolonize science? @0:10
Equality, diversity and inclusion
Science should be open to everyone, without barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. A scientific community that is as diverse and inclusive as possible can only improve what it is able to achieve.

Of course, she is using the wrong terminology, and not all ‘Western’ science is junk. Alchemists, wizards, and spooks set up the Royal Society. Their job is to occult knowledge so that the profane have no access to actual knowledge. Most of what most people believe is wrong. It is not by coincidence that the Royal Society pushes gender fluidity, Global Climate Boiling Change, Marxism, and other rubbish. Its job has always been to serve its political masters, not research and discover actual knowledge.
Newton was a con man, and his work, like Einstein’s, produced nothing worthwhile. Einstein’s work is so bad a five-year-old can see through it. One of England’s leading physicists, president of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1951 to 1953 and once an acknowledged leader in Special Relativity, exposed the nonsense decades ago. He was, of course, shunned and ignored. He wrote the book.
“Science at the Crossroads” in the early 70s – available on Amazon.
Every child who does physics should be forced to read and refute this book. There have been thousands of scientists who have refuted SR and GR, but they have been silenced.
According to the theory, you have two observers, A and B, in different frames of reference. Assume B is moving away from A at a constant speed close to c. According to the theory, A sees the clock in B’s frame of reference as slowing down almost to a standstill. But hold on. The principle of relativity also states there can be no preferred frame of reference, so from B’s perspective, A is moving away from him close to the speed of light, so the clock in A’s frame of reference is also almost standing still. This is logically impossible. There is no evidence for any of it. All of Einstein’s science was dreamt up using Gedankenexperiments. In other words, he used his fantasy and had a wild imagination. The nonsense can only be salvaged if mathematics trumps all, and in theoretical physics, it does. In spades. Aristotle lost, and Plato won, which is almost everything you believe is true about the universe isn’t.

Imagine a quiz show with all the contestants being male.
The wokerati would be up in arms. The outrage would spill all over the Guardian and the BBC.
On Christmas University Challenge tonight, all eight contestants were female. And what do we hear about that? Tumbleweed.
And just to make sure we get the barely concealed feminist message, a remarkable number of questions were to do with women, whether their achievements merited it our not.

I don’t know about you , but I’m regretting not handing the BBC a wegde of cash to peacefully own a TV..
What a selection..
“an embarrassment of riches”
Including a bunch of old films, many available on YouTube or Bitchute etc 24 /7.
Blankety Blank, Coronation Street -apparently Gail [Potter, Tilsley, Platt, Hillman or McIntyre] is leaving, after a 50 year shift and there’s even a return of Bullseye.
Why not bring back The Generation Game – I want to watch someone win an electric toaster.
“But perhaps the biggest Boxing Day release is the second season of Squid Game (Netflix)”
Not exactly TV..
I’ll watch a torrent download of that 😀
