    Is Tony Blair covering his backside with his latest statement ?
    Has he been consulting real scientists and engineers for a change?

    BBC has finally reported Blair’s intervention in the climate farce…..listening on Times and they say this is massive and a ‘real hammer blow’ to Starmer’s green policies….which makes you wonder why it took the BBC so long to report it….and when you look you’ll see it’s in the ‘Politics’ section reported by a business reporter….which could account for the slightly more balanced and less opinionated style that you won’t get when the BBC’s climate zealot Rowlatt gets his teeth into it. No irony that this is the type of debate Nigel Lawson wanted…10 years ago…how we should deal with climate change [not if it is happening]…but he was of course savaged by the BBC’s finest and then shut out of the debate….

    ”I’ve been banned by the BBC!’: Ex-Chancellor Lord Lawson, a passionate climate change sceptic, accuses BBC bosses of silencing debate on global warming’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvrwyp0jx3o

    Having said that it is still weighted towards pushing the climate agenda and misses out some interesting comments such as…

    ‘Whatever the historical responsibility of the developed world for climate change, those with even a cursory knowledge of the facts understand that in the future the major sources of pollution will come principally from the developing world.’

    I might suggest it’s not just the future but the last 70 years or so that has seen development in the third world leading to increased CO2….check the population growth against CO2 growth….almost exactly corresponding.

    And then there’s this in which you can include the BBC as it captured the narrative and by ramming it down our throats, demonising those who said the slightest thing critical of the zealotry and alienating the rest of us…

    ‘Which brings us to the way the politics of the climate-change issue has played out over the years. Political leaders by and large know that the debate has become irrational. But they’re terrified of saying so, for fear of being accused of being “climate deniers”. As ever, when sensible people don’t speak up about the way a campaign is being conducted, the campaign stays in the hands of those who end up alienating the very opinion on which consent for action depends.’

    As said the BBC ‘business’ report weaves a wobbly line between balance and leaning towards the zealotry but there’s no attempt to ‘explain’ and preach other than to report the climate fanatics’ denouncements of Blair.

    It’ll be interesting to read what Rowlatt writes and how he attempts to explain how wrong Blair is…how dangerous he is with this message.

      The BBC will be deploying the whole army of climate change Green crap disciples – Mrs may might pop up with her little gang -and hysterical greens screeching about ‘reneweables .

      Personally Blighty deserves a touch of what spain Portugal got yesterday – no power / internet / phones for even 12 hours shakes the soul of kidults raised online

      I doubt it will happen much. But the Supreme Court Trans decision showed how gutless and spineless politicians, MSM, and ordinary people allowed themselves to be cowed by the Far Left and extreme zealots into acquiescence and failure to challenge and state the obvious.
      Now the Supreme Court has, in effect, showed that the ordinary view was correct all along, and it was not wrong to challenge after all, will those same spineless politicians, MSM, and ordinary people now feel empowered to state the obvious on things like climate change and unfettered mass immigration?
      They damn well should. But I doubt the BBC will.

        Now the legal issue has been resolved, how many of the trans-activists and sycophant journalists and politicians will accept the ruling of the court and apologise to those they have maligned and caused damage to for not accepting that a man calling himself a woman is indeed a woman ?.

        My guess – only a rough estimate mind you – is precisely zero.

        Because their driving force was not right and wrong : it was the fact they are extreme-Left, spiteful, nasty b@stards full of hate.

    “Nigerian-born UK council boss resigns after drink-driving, drug charges. A Nigerian-born council chief executive in the United Kingdom, Bayo Dosunmu”
    Yoruba name

    Kelvin MacKenzie
    “I see the cunning sh!ts who run the beyond dreadful Lambeth council have secretly paid off it’s chief executive Bayo Dosunmu, 46, £90K after he was convicted of drink driving, fleeing the scene of an accident and driving while uninsured.
    Why a pay-off? Why not fired on the spot for gross misconduct in public office?
    This pay-off has only come to light due to a Freedom of Information request by a local resident. Without her nobody would have known.
    58 of the 63 councillors in Lambeth are Labour.
    No wonder it’s £1billion in debt and wants a £40million bail-out from the government. Let it go bust.”

    BBC woke DEI update.

    1. On Pointless today, contestants had to guess the countries of Olympic medal winners. The winners were in pairs, one Ordinary athlete and one Paralympic athlete. Ordinary athletes included Nadia Comanech, Usain Bolt, Cathy Freeman. Paralympic winners included……….no-one anyone has heard of. The aim clearly was to draw equivalence between such as the fastest man who has ever lived and…someone who wasn’t. Equivalent, BBC? You are the only people with that view.
    2. The new Chess tournament shown on BBC2 on Monday nights was won by …..a Trans woman. He walked like a man, talked like a man……but was a she. Apparently. What are the chances of that? On the BBC, as we know, very high.

    Just look at what the BBC have churned out now:

    Guardian review:
    The Settlers review – this vital film forces Louis Theroux to do something he’s never done before
    Five stars awarded.
    By ‘Stuart Heritage’. A bog-standard Leftists TV critic.

    ‘The Jewish Chronical’:
    To demonstrate ‘impartiality’, the BBC shows the worst Jews they can find
    Theroux’s settler documentary doesn’t illuminate – it rehearses the same old narrative
    https://www.thejc.com/opinion/to-demonstrate-impartiality-the-bbc-shows-the-worst-jews-they-can-find-j8hutqey

    The Guardina review is almost comical : it has about as much balance as an episode of Panorama.

    The second one pulls it apart with the kind of common-sense and experience language which rings true from start to finish.

    This documentary is an excellent example of how the BBC show their bias by only telling us the bits which suit them.
