,,, and now the weather
… and speaking of the weather the hockey stick salesman just got another setback in the Steyn v.s. Mann legal case:
https://dailysceptic.org/2025/03/14/mark-steyns-last-laugh-isnt-over-yet/
Mann’s lawyers got sanctioned by the court for lying
The comments after the piece are hilarious – nearly as good as some of our posts!
(p.s., isn’t TTK a lawyer or something similar)?
“For interested readers, a short timeline of the main events of the ‘climate trial of the century‘ will be informative:
July 2012: Rand Simberg of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) published a blog post criticising Mann’s ‘hockey stick’ chart, controversially comparing him to convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky by stating that Mann had “molested and tortured data”. Shortly after, Mark Steyn referenced Simberg’s post on the National Review’s blog, labelling Mann’s work as “fraudulent”.
October 22nd 2012: Michael Mann filed a defamation lawsuit in the District of Columbia Superior Court against Mark Steyn, the National Review, Rand Simberg and the CEI, alleging that their statements were defamatory.
December 22nd 2016: The DC Court of Appeals ruled that Mann’s case against Simberg and Steyn could proceed, stating that a “reasonable jury” could find against the defendants.
May 2019: National Review‘s Special Motion to Dismiss prevailed in large part, with the court dismissing Mann’s libel claim based on Editor Rich Lowry’s ‘Get Lost’ post and the broader intentional infliction of emotional distress claim against National Review. However, the defamation claim based on Mark Steyn’s blog post was not dismissed, allowing that part of the case to continue.
March 19th 2021: The DC Superior Court granted summary judgment in favour of the National Review, stating that actual malice could not be imputed to the company based on the state of mind of an independent contractor like Steyn.
January 16th 2024: The rescheduled trial commenced. After deliberations, the jury found that both Simberg and Steyn had defamed Mann. The jury awarded Mann $1 in compensatory damages from each writer, $1,000 in punitive damages from Simberg and $1 million in punitive damages from Steyn.
March 11th 2024: National Review filed a motion in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia to recover a portion of the legal fees incurred during the litigation, seeking over $1 million from Mann.
January 7th 2025: The court issued a decision awarding National Review $530,820.21 in attorneys’ fees and costs.
March 4th 2025: The Superior Court of the District of Columbia reduced the punitive damages against Mark Steyn from $1 million to $5,000, deeming the original award “grossly excessive and unconstitutional”.
March 12th 2025: The court sanctioned Michael Mann’s legal team for misconduct during the trial, ordering it to pay a portion of the defendants’ legal fees. The court cited improper conduct during discovery and trial proceedings as the basis for these sanctions.”

Fed, and whether the Blackloving Broadcasting Corporation can weather the crap that’s coming their way. By the way can anyone tell me what the aforementioned corporation does with the monies they receive from their other TV channels that accept adverts. Perhaps they could cut a couple of quid off the telly tax, or reinstate the free licence for wrinklies.
I wonder just how many ‘commercial subsidiaries’ the BBC now have which are exempt from their usual rules for being ‘state funded’ and are not subject to scrutiny about how the money is spent.
And I wonder how much taxpayers cash gets funnelled into them to become unaccountable.
One for Panorama to investigate.
Oh, I forgot : Panorama only do ‘BBC agenda’ topics. And they never investigate, they simply collate evidence which supports the conclusion they want.
US influencer who snatched baby wombat has left Australia
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0rz4e9185qo
This story is great : it sums up what a complete shit show the world has become.
First an ‘influencer’ as the BBC love to call them shows what a totally uncaring and shallow creature she really is by just snatching the wombat from it’s mother. Not a big deal in itself – but it’s what I’ve been saying the wokies are for a long time. The are empty vessels who need to be programmed what to think.
Next a group-think bubble is suddenly created and she receives thousands of death threats (or so she says – but these people lie without conscience). How utterly clueless do you need to be about the real world to do that over this ?.
Finally we have the BBC article. An extraordinarily lengthy article contained as much empathy as the BBC idiot could cram in:
‘”Maybe imagine if someone picked up your child and laughed while you screamed for them to give them back,” read a comment under the post, a reference to Jones’s snatching of the wombat from its mother.’
But the bit which almost made me laugh out loud is the pointless video in that article : the BBC narcissist is desperate to get herself in it as much as possible.
Shes’ another BBC/MSN veteran and describes herself as ‘Mama to four small humans and a Vizsla.’
Excellent – at the time it was just comedy and we didn’t think any more about it. Now in this Orwellian dystopia the Left are creating, we are supposed to feel guilty for finding it funny.
I wonder how the racist idiots of the Left would manage to take offence at that because it isn’t racist in any way. But I’m certain they would.
They would probably use the usual line ‘not helpful’ or ‘stereotyping’ which covers just about everything which points out anything negative towards BAME.
2019 …. UK ….”Non-Muslim girls in Lincolnshire are being asked to wear a hijab for a day to raise awareness of discrimination. Ghada Mohamed said she came up with the idea in response to a number of incidents where girls wearing hijabs were subjected to abuse.4 Aug 2019″
2025 … Iran … “Iran using drones and apps to enforce women’s dress code”
An article on the BBC states that ‘Iran is using drones and intrusive digital technology to crush dissent, especially among women who refuse to obey the Islamic republic’s strict dress code”. The report from the UN ‘highlights the increasing use of drones and security cameras to monitor hijab compliance in Tehran and in southern Iran. For women who defy the laws, or protest against them, the consequences are severe – arrest, beating, and even rape in custody.’
Quite possibly there have been many incidents across the years, perhaps in rural areas and so on. And maybe other factors are sometimes involved, for instance the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022 is quoted – she was Kurdish, why is her ethnicity always stated and how was it significant? But is it true that women dare not go about their lives without wearing a hijab?
Obviously few of us can visit Iran to see for ourselves, but videos of everyday life in the country filmed by locals are readily available on YouTube. One thing which is immediately noticeable is that although most women wear Islamic clothing, a significant minority do not. Many young women dress in Western style and wear their hair freely without covering. It’s certainly not the odd one or two who are bravely dodging the alleged enforcement drones, but perhaps 5%-10% in Tehran and elsewhere. This would suggest that enforcement is either lax, non-existent, or based on other factors. Which makes the BBC (UN) report somewhat intriguing.
Here’s an example video chosen at random, it’s only necessary to watch the first minute or so to get an idea. Note that a lot of these videos do use clickbait to attract viewers.
Funny how the BBC and the other arse cheek The Guardian run VERY few articles about the abuse Muslim women in the UK have to suffer.
I remember the one who got set on fire by two male relatives and died out in the street. A horrific thing to do – but was a brief article on the BBC which barely made the front page. It quickly disappeared into regions.
This is the incredible magnitude of the BBC’s double standards. They care more about not upsetting the Muslims here and also weaponising them as ‘victims’ against the Right than they do about a poor woman who they burned to death.
Go paedos !
It seems the entire MSM have instantly switched from wanting the war in Ukraine to continue for as long as possible to blaming Putin for not agreeing to a ceasefire.
If they had done this a long time ago and agreed to Ukraine staying out of NATO, it would have been much easier to negotiate and hundreds of thousands of young men would be still alive.
Now Russia are winning and the longer it goes on, the more of Ukraine they will get. Kursk is finished and that complete military disaster forced by Zelensky will go under the carpet along with those caused by Biden. Russia have no incentive to stop the war now : Trump has an incredibly difficult task to do it. And all the BBC do is snipe at him and pick any faults they can. Because he is right-wing and they hate him.
Lets see what the EU and barmy Starmer do next to try and keep it going. The EU don’t just want Ukraine, they want Russia as well.
Where are the weekly demonstrations in Whitehall demanding a ceasefire in Syria? Some of things going on are as horrific as what Hamas did to Israelis on October 7th.
The Left could combine the demonstrations with demanding a ceasefire in Ukraine.
The Left only demands peace when it disadvantages Jews. Makes you wonder who is funding them.
Ah, but they are only obeying orders…
BBC speak:
‘We’re replacing BBC Sounds outside the UK and bringing you BBC.com, a seamless way to read, watch, and listen – all in one place.’
Wow – that sounds great doesn’t it ?.
What it really means:
We’re removing BBC sounds so you can’t listen to any BBC Radio (except the propaganda World Service and R4) any more outside the UK.
As usual with the BBC, you have to know the truth already before you can know what extremely important facts they aren’t telling you.
John C. And indeed all readers.
We were in Spain last week and eager to watch the 6 nations rugby.
In the hotel on BBC sounds and BBC iPlayer we received the message that the ‘coverage was not available in your area’.
But Mrs S is very keen so on the bus on the way back from a day trip she tried again anyway. It worked!
The solution was to turn the hotel wifi off and use your own data. Which in Europe our provider allows free of charge as part of our normal package. This also worked for ITVx.
Not sure if an aberration or common knowledge but it was a win for us, even if we did have to endure Andrew Cotter’s appalling pro-Scottish commentary,
Sluff,
I have a laptop in the UK running something called CCProxy and I can use it as my own private proxy server to access UK site which care where I am.
I used to use BBC sounds a lot – but all my favourite DJ’s either left the BBC or got fired and all I have left is Tony Blackburn – though even he has contracted TDS and started making fun of Trump which makes me think much less of him. The Left don’t do democracy. He’s nowhere the hate for Trump/Musk and Brexit voters from Stuart Maconie though. Amazing what the BBC allow when it suits them.
Now I mostly use Greatest Hits Radio which doesn’t block me. It just asks me to confirm my UK postcode. They too are extremely woke in their news – but Ken Bruce is the same professional he always was and keeps his views to himself.
Toady 0730 sports report.
Agenda. Agenda.
‘It’s the ‘men’s’ 6 nations rugby today’.
See what they did ?
Trying to equalise the men’s and the wimmins 6 nations.
Probably because the BBC show so few men’s 6 nations matches and so, no doubt inspired by their obsession with diversity and inclusion, are bigging up the wimmins matches which they do cover – for the interest of literally dozens of people.
Slovak Government Official Claims DNA in Vaccines Turns People into “GMOs,” {Genetically Modified Organisms] Sparks Global Outrage
https://vigilantnews.com/post/slovak-government-official-claims-dna-in-vaccines-turns-people-into-gmos-sparks-global-outrage/
In a bombshell press conference on March 11, 2025, Dr. Peter Kotlár, a Slovak physician, government commissioner, and MP, dropped a jaw-dropping claim: all 34 analyzed Pfizer and Moderna vaccine batches contain dangerously high levels of DNA, potentially transforming recipients into “genetically modified organisms.”
Starmer’s Britain, 1984, sorry my mistake, I mean 2025…
We clearly have a “backdoor” blasphemy law in the UK, whereby someone burning the Quran will be immediately arrested, charged, put on trial and potentially imprisoned…that is if some bigoted backward beardy hasn’t beheaded him first…
At the same time, not only would nothing happen if someone did the same thing to a bible, but in certain circumstances you can be arrested for praying silently on the street. Honestly, this beggars belief.
However, bad as it is in England, our neighbours north of the border (of course) have to go one worse, and you can actually be arrested for praying in your own home if you’re seen and that person is “offended”.
Just what sort of country have we become?
We is set in the far future. D-503, a spacecraft engineer, lives in the One State,[4] an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass (presumably to assist with mass surveillance). The structure of the state is Panopticon-like, and life is based upon F. W. Taylor’s principles of scientific management. Society is run centrally by a central power known as the Benefactor, and is run according to a strict timetable—people march in step with each other and are uniformed. There is no way of referring to people except by their given designations (referred to as ‘numbers’ in the novel.) The society in which We is set uses mathematical logic and reason for its scheduling and as justification for its actions.[5][6] The individual’s behaviour is based on logic by way of formulae and equations outlined by the One State.[7]

From the DT
START
A BBC radio presenter apologised for “misgendering” Eddie Izzard on air – despite the comedian not caring about pronouns and gender labels.
Anita Anand said she was “very very sorry” after referring to Izzard as “the man” while presenting Radio 4’s PM programme on Friday.
Yet Izzard, 63, who identifies as gender fluid and uses she/her pronouns, has previously confessed an indifference to such labels, telling The Telegraph last year: “He, she – it doesn’t matter.”
Izzard appeared on the afternoon news and current affairs programme to promote a new production of Hamlet, which is set to tour the UK with all 23 roles played by the comedian.
During the pre-recorded interview, Mrs Anand had asked Izzard to perform a snippet of the play for listeners, to which her guest politely refused. She revealed to listeners afterwards that Izzard’s response had amused Charles Carroll, a newsreader for Radio 4.
ENDS
I think an apology for calling a bloke a bloke when it shouid apparently be something else isn’t enough – the lady shouid be fired along with whoever hired her ( relative ?) … mr izzard deserves compensation too … ..not real is it …?
I must be getting very old, sonny. Gosh, I can just about remember back to those simple halcyon good old days of my youth – when Eddie Izzard was a Cross-Dresser. And funny.
“For a UK audience, the most striking moment in the new Italian PM Giorgia Meloni’s victory speech will have been that she anchored its peroration to a quote from G.K. Chesterton. ‘Chesterton wrote, more than a century ago,’ she said, ‘“Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.” That time has arrived. We are ready.’”

Starmer warns Putin not to ‘play games’ as UK hosts meeting of world leaders on Ukraine
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c5y9vqzvjvgt
This attempt to cast Starmer as the world leader for Ukraine is possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The man commands zero respect.
I stumbled across a video on youtube earlier showing the complete disrespect Putin has for Starmer and for the life of me, google will not show me it in a search !. Every article it suggests is pro-Starmer, anti-Putin. Clearly all the stops have been pulled out for this one.
But what almost makes me laugh out loud is how all these weakling hypocrites are suddenly the champions of a peace deal when they have done everything they can to keep the war going up to now.
I suspect the EU pushing TTK to the front on the stage like this is part of a plan to bring the UK closer to them in the publics eye ready to take us back in.
Girls allowed edition
I refer not so much to the Daily Mirror top story: Singer’s killer stalker… I’ve come to get Cheryl… Obsessive who terrified Tweedy at home is jailed… The Girls Aloud star, 41, was “terrified”… got 16 weeks for breaching an order to stay away. He was jailed in 2012 for manslaughter – mind you, under those woke new sentencing guidlines: Robert Jenrick says new sentencing guidelines have ‘blatant bias against Christians and straight white men’ (Sky News) – our Cheryl’s killer stalker would stand less chance of going to jail next time he’s had up – because… you guessed it, he’s black.
But no, the now somewhat superannuated all-girl band to which I refer with my headline ‘girls allowed’ are in fact: Annita McVeigh, Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone and Kasia Madera
One reflects back on the year 1996 – or our Tony Blair Era minus one – when one moment no one had ever heard of the all-girl pop band Spice Girls and then the very next moment everyone had a favourite.
Tell us what you want, what you really, really want?
The women’s case originally also included an equal pay claim, which a judge dismissed last May. The women later appealed against that ruling, and the equal pay claim has now also ended as part of the settlement. (BBC)
Martine can be our “Gleeful News Spice” in our new Girls Allowed line-up
Croxall was taken off air for 11 days and found to have breached impartiality rules for comments made introducing the BBC News channel’s “The Papers” newspaper review on 23 October 2022. Following the sudden news that Boris Johnson had withdrawn from contesting the Conservative Party leadership, Croxall declared that it was “all very exciting” and asked if she was “allowed to be this gleeful” (Thank you Wiki – my emphasis)
Annita is our little Irish “Baby News Spice”
Annita has said in the past that she thinks it’s important for children to understand what is going on around the world. The Belfast Telegraph reported that she said: “I think it is important to teach them how to understand events and the reasons. “Newsround did a little film about Manchester*. We were watching the coverage and my nine-year old son was very sweet – he just bowed his head at one point and said, ‘Mum, I’m just thinking about the people who died’, even though he didn’t know them.’ “My parents always encouraged me to watch news programmes. Obviously, some coverage isn’t suitable for kids but Newsround** does a good job.” (The Sun)
*Our Annita refers of course to The Manchester Arena bombing that was an Islamic terrorist suicide bombing of the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, on 22 May 2017, following a concert by the American pop singer Ariana Grande. Perpetrated by Islamic extremist Salman Abedi and aided by his brother, Hashem Abedi, the bombing killed 22 people, injured 1,017
**As always our BBC gets everything just about right.
Oh, and that Sun report is dated March 2024 and adds: An insider said: “They’re all litigious and the National Union of Journalists will back them… A reverse ferret is definitely the best plan.”
Karin Giannone gets the “Sporty” or specifically the “Footie News Spice” label
In 1999 her language and broadcasting skills helped her land a role as a reporter and presenter for Channel 4’s Football Italia series, where she covered the Italian Soccer scene for a season, flying between the UK and Italy every week. (much obliged, Wiki)
Kasia Madera fills the role of “Showbiz Spice” or should that be “Ironic News Spice”?
In 2024 she played a fictional version of herself as a state news presenter in HBO series The Regime… The Regime is an American political satire… The series depicts a year within the palace of a crumbling authoritarian regime.
Sometimes these segueways write themselves…
BBC presenters settle sex and age discrimination dispute… the optics of the last two years, ending in a settlement, aren’t good. And there is frustration inside the BBC about the impact of it all, at a time when budgets are shrinking. (BBC)
It apparently decided it wasn’t worth going through three damaging weeks, with all the headlines and media attention that would have generated. The losers, though, are licence fee payers who have seen hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on BBC presenters who were off work on full pay for at least a year, on top of whatever the costs of this settlement add up to. That may never be made public. (BBC)
Irony is a much overused and abused term – but one can’t help reflecting on the irony of our BBC acting to shield licence payers as much as possible from the bad news.
Forgive me – who is Annita ?
