Midweek 19th November 2025

The BBC will do all it can to distract from the upcoming legal action by President Trump . Plenty of attacks on Reform and Nigel Farage as well as every ‘leak ‘ of the budget .Then – of course – it will pretend that the country still ‘does ‘Christmas …

    Dr Tuomo Polvikoski, a consultant neuro-pathologist who examined Ms Shaw after her death, said given her history of being fit and healthy with no medical problems, it was “surprising” she died of blood clots and bleeding in the brain.

    He said “timewise” it “seems most likely” her death was “indeed vaccine induced”

    If it saves just one life…….

    The Covid inquiry has found the Government’s response chaotic, catastrophic etc etc. Should we be surprised? The chair is a KC Barrister, I suggest that the legal profession and medical professionals are taking the opportunity to stick the knives into Boris and his Government. Boris was forced into lockdown measures because of Smarmer, Labour, BBC and MSM pressure. I think the lockdowns, vaccinations and all rest of it was a futile waste of money. I don’t think anything the Government did or didn’t do would have made any difference to the number of deaths. The disease would only have progressed at a slower or faster rate, everyone that might get it would get it sooner or later.

      Not that I care – but if I recall Jeremy hunt was the health secretary for many years before the Covid thing hit so really any preparation was down to him – only nut nut and Cummings seem to be roasted …

      What a waste of money .

      So every other country in Europe (apart from Sweden) should also have locked down a week earlier because more or less the same thing happened everywhere.

      I remember the Daily Mail screaming for schools to be locked down, and like magic, that was what the government did. I presumed that someone had leaked to the DM so it appeared lockdown was in response to their calls. I presume in reality the government thought lockdown was protecting older teaching staff rather than protecting children.

        Deborah – I wonder how man other countries are doing ‘reviews ‘ and whether there is a ‘review ‘ of those reviews .
        This is a serious question because – truly – the best practice – and failures – will help generally .

        Having done a bit of work on the way organisations / governments respond to such events ( disasters } I’d conclude that nothing will be learned – the hierachy is all – in -say- the civil service – academia – medical mafia – and the infighting damages the outcome .

        Maybe the next virus will be really harmful which will throw up a completely different set of problems / challenges .

        I – for one – recall that air travel wasn’t shut down or even monitored for a long time during the early stages of the bug – which many on this site wondered at . I bet it speeded up the spread .

    UK did ‘too little, too late’, leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8030xvvlv0o

    These reports are always the same : a chance to cherry pick things which *could* have been done then used by media to push their own political agenda.

    Before I even looked, I knew it would be an attack on the Conservatives. And the BBC did not disappoint : they are full-on, 100% agenda these days. And as usual they are without shame : they seem to be completely ignoring that their credibility and reputation are in tatters. The don’t care one bit !!.

    If I were to remember the worst thing any politician did to break the rules, it would be Margaret Ferrier who – after being diagnoses with COVID, went home to Scotland on the train.

    But which do the BBC choose to use as the ‘extreme example’ ?. Cummings trip in his car of course. The BBC hysteria over which was only exceeded by their hysteria over Partygate. Yet Cummings trip did not put anyone else in danger like this woman who did the worst possible thing : traveled for many hours on public transport.

    Just look at what else they wrote:

    ‘Deborah Doyle, of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, said it was “devastating to think of the lives that could have been saved” under different leadership.
    “We now know that many of our family members would still be alive today if it weren’t for the leadership of Boris Johnson and his colleagues.’

    It’s more pure hatred from the BBC. And ALWAYS directed at the politicians we already knew they hated. Boris has a special kind oif hate because they hold him responsible for Brexit.

    This is why the BBC must be destroyed and maybe rebuilt as something which does not want to destroy society as we know it.

      Imagine two other scenarios.
      Labour in charge during Covid. With dithering Starmer, Lammy and Thick Ange in charge. I’d wager more would have died.

      Or Reform in charge. Farage would have banned flights in and out of the country much earlier, posted border guards at the coast and put UK citizens first, less deaths likely.

      90% of Boris’s actions were governed by medical experts. These justice groups will never be satisfied, however tragic.

    A new BBC Drama written by Ian Shitslop

    Elon Musk talks about the “Hobbits of England” or the “Stepford Hobbits”, a satirical comparison combining the docile, homebody nature of Hobbits in the Shire with the themes of conformity and suburban complacency from the novel and film ‘The Stepford Wives’.

    The Hobbits are generally portrayed as peace-loving, quiet folk who value comfort, good food, and a consistent, predictable life, largely keeping to themselves, lacking in individuality, much like the characters in ‘The Stepford Wives’. The Stepford Wives depicts a town where the wives are eerily perfect and submissive, implying a sinister form of social engineering and conformity, much like the ‘real’ so called journalists working at the BBC and Private Eye.

    The progressive “Stepford Hobbits” at the UK Health Security Agency need to hide the 15,416,140 estimated deaths and injuries in the UK from mRNA vaccines, because the information is harmful to old Big Farmer Gates. The creepy “Stepford Hobbits” don’t mind the 321,500 dead babies killed by abortion every year. The creepy “Stepford Hobbits” don’t mind that the Shires had an estimated total of 474,847 rapes in 2024, and the highest number of arrests for social media posts in the World, at 12,183 arrests per year.

    However, the old Big Starmerfuhrer of the Shires is planning to house rapists, emptied from foreign prisons, and sent to the Shires by French boatmen. All the women of the Shires overdose on their anti-depression pills, becoming disoriented and then violently kill everyone with kitchen knifes in “Revenge of the Stepford Wives”.

    Hopefully?

    Apparently the solution to covid, according to the report, is that we should have locked down sooner and harder…….but kept schools open.
    Now whether you agree with lockdowns or disagree, or agree with school lockdowns or disagree, I defy any reasonable person to have drawn these conclusions in the heat of the pandemic, as has the judge, wandering through all the ‘evidence’ at leisure years after the events.
    At vast cost to the taxpayer, and vast remuneration to the legal profession, needless to say.

    The left-leaning BBC’s recent innovation of gifting the left-leaning online-only low-circulation virtual news-thingy The Independent, a place in their otherwise print press line-up, pays dividends this morning as the title – or should we call it “The URL” – does one of their classic arty frontpage – or should we call it “Landing page” – set ups, placing a hated Brexiteer Tory in the stocks.

    On a murder charge, no less.

    Fatal cost of Boris’s ‘chaotic and toxic’ No10: 23,000 dead (Indy)

    This coming from a place that presumably envisages the present chaotic Keir Starmer No10 as some well-written, harmonious, slick, idealistic and John F. Kennedy’s Camelot-inspired comforting episode of the TV show The West Wing

    The left-leaning Indy’s photographic artwork (is it Turner prize time?) turns that familar Lockdown lecturn inscribed “Stay Home, Protect the NHS… blah…blah…bollocks” into a pillory for a head-bowed Boris. Inviting the audience to chuck their rotten fruit.

    Damning Covid Verdict is the legend hung over the bowed blond tousled head like the mocking title “King of the Jews” over the crucifiction.

    Our BBC online print press line-up gerrymanders a majority of usual suspect news outlets in support of the guilty verdict. The Indy was just the most outspoken foreman of the hanging jury…

    Regime-mouthpiece, formerly serious, now largely female interest, vaguely conservative otherwise pre-election Starmer curious Times: ‘Inexcusable’ pandemic delays… – (first bit of the “Sooner, harder, longer” anyone?)

    Left-leaning inflation-hit £1.10 junior poundshop Guardian [incidentally: The curious case of why Poundland is struggling during a cost-of-living crisis… Catherine Shuttleworth, whose company, Savvy, gathers insight on shopper behaviour…”They know their prices inside out.” (BBC) – yep, and I’ve noticed the i paper price hike] : Johnson’s ‘toxic’ leadership blamed… (i paper)

    By the way, US newspaper style guide says all honorifics such as Mr or former-PM are dropped for convicted felons. I guess that rule can sometimes include cutesy first names like Boris?

    Guardian – need we wonder? : Too little, too late: Tory response… – there’s two thirds of the familier “Sooner, Harder, Longer”

    Giveaway corporate adsheet promoting mainly supermarkets phone networks and the like – to hell with the Locked-down little Ma and Pa businesses Metro: Ex-PM castigated… but all UK governments did too little, too late and ‘23,000 might have lived’ – do we sense this far down the left-leaning food chain (and the BBC online line-up) the headline message softening somewhat there?

    Yet here comes the in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror: Inexcusable

    At long last, well down the list of print titles (and the virtual Indy) we finally get a second opinion, a minority report, so to speak. The mildly conservative Telegraph a near solitary rather heroic mainstream voice during the whole Lockdown nonsense: The £200m Covid ‘I told you so’… Costliest inquiry in British history ‘tells us what we already know’: Lockdown was not necessary

    Your Mr AsI likewise predicted the inquiry circus would go with “Sooner, Harder, Longer” yet it’s come up with the clever wheeze that claims the “Sooner, Harder” bits would have avoided the “Longer” (under Labour?) somehow.

    Which is odd considering received wisdom says covid ‘vaccine’ saved us. And that didn’t arrive for quite a while into Lockdown. Although suspiciously quickly and still avoiding the usual years of safety checks.

    I sense the regime thinks this is the final word on the subject. I think they are wrong.

    From the DT – dumping the TV Licence is becoming a national pastime

    STARTS The BBC lost more than £1bn through licence fee evasion and cancellation last year despite making two million enforcement visits to people’s homes.

    Visits to unlicensed homes in 2024-25 increased by 50 per cent on the previous year but the BBC said it “has become harder to get people to answer their doors”.

    One in eight users now evade payment even though they do use the BBC, at a cost to the corporation of £550m.

    According to the BBC’s annual report, the number of TV licences fell by around 300,000 between March 2024 and March 2025.

    In total, 3.6 million households now say they do not have a licence because they do not need one, at a potential cost of £617m, according to the Commons public accounts committee, bringing the potential combined lost income to £1.1bn.ENDS

    The article goes on a bit . It’s suggested that ‘enforcement visits ‘ are less effective than they used to be .

    Perhaps good people are telling TVLicence stazi to ‘eff off ‘ or better still not speaking to the vermin at all …

      FedUp,
      Your language is intemperate!

      When one of the TV Licence Enforcement Officers visited my home some years ago he was very polite , stated his business and asked if he could enter the house . I said no he couldn’t so he asked if we could discuss my lack of a TV Licence on the door step, I said I didn’t need one and closed the door . He slipped a leaflet through the letter box which explained everything you needed to know about TV Licences and then left.
      His friends at the BBC still write to me regularly , their letters arriving every month to six weeks , and often have a surprisingly uncivil and rather threatening tone urging me to pay the Licence Fee or fill out their on line pro forma explaining why I don’t need one.
      I file these letters , I have over a hundred, knowing that when the counter revolution reaches its full force being able to demonstrate that you were never complicit in funding the Ministry of Truth , at least not since Brexit, will stand me and mine in good stead.
      Additionally each letter must cost the BBC something to send , even if only less than one pound, but every little helps as they say.

    On Covid.

    I’m sure I saw a chart going through the years showing the number of flu deaths. I can’t remember the number (I’ve used 100,000 but it may be way off) but it went something like this:

    Year. Flu deaths. Covid deaths
    2018. 100,000. 0
    2019. 100,000. 0
    2020. 0. 100,000

    and it went on like that, flu deaths disappeared through the Covid time and reappeared when it was over.
    Perhaps someone has the proper chart but the point was about the flu deaths stopping.

    The committee said that the BBC was not doing enough to enforce collection of the licence fee.

    “Declining household participation and rising evasion has not been successfully tackled, and BBC users not purchasing a licence is unfair to the vast majority of households who do pay theirs,” it said.

    The BBC’s funding model has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks after The Telegraph’s exclusive investigation into the broadcaster’s bias.

    Earlier this month, it was revealed how footage in a Panorama documentary was edited to exaggerate Donald Trump’s role in the Capitol riots.

    Tim Davie, the BBC director-general, and Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, resigned after more revelations in The Telegraph about biased reporting.

    he BBC lost more than £1bn through licence fee evasion and cancellation last year despite making two million enforcement visits to people’s homes.

    Visits to unlicensed homes in 2024-25 increased by 50 per cent on the previous year but the BBC said it “has become harder to get people to answer their doors”.

    One in eight users now evade payment even though they do use the BBC, at a cost to the corporation of £550m.

      Downing Street Demands Everyone Takes Down Video of PM Falling Over

      An interesting media strategy from No10 as it demands footage of Starmer tripping over at the G20 is taken down. Taken by a regular broadcast cameraman…

      Downing Street is upset that the footage went to broadcast and is asking for it to be taken down/not shown again.

        Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg says he regrets bowing to what he calls pressure from the Biden administration to “censor” content on Facebook and Instagram during the coronavirus pandemic.
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czxlpjlgdzjo

        Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.

        The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
        Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.
        Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

      “Last year saw the show hit the headlines over separate allegations facing two professional dancers.

      Giovanni Pernice denied suggestions of abusive or threatening behaviour during rehearsals after allegations from his dance partner Amanda Abbington, and subsequently left the show.

      Graziano Di Parma’s spokesperson admitted the dancer had kicked his 2023 dance partner Zara McDermott once during rehearsals, which he called a “mistake”, and for which the dancer apologised. He also left the show.

      Separately, the BBC launched an investigation earlier this year into alleged drug use by two of the show’s stars, who have not been named.

      In August, the Met said it was investigating allegations of drug use on the hit dance show.”

    “I am a patriot, proudly so. Mine is the patriotism of Orwell. Pride in a country that is forever changing. And whilst always Infallibly the same. It is the love of this country as an open, tolerant, generous place. But that broad vision of who we are is disputed. Patriotism, a force for good is turning into something smaller, something more like ethnonationalism.

    The Secretary of State for defence has been caught failing to pay the full council tax on his second – or maybe third ? Home .
    There won’t be any resignation of course because it was an ‘admin oversight ‘ and purely an academic exercise because you and I would be picking up the ‘expenses ‘ tab anyway .

    No doubt when he gets booted out of office in 2026/7/8/9 he’ll donate his capital gain to the taxpayers- although I suspect he’ll have avoided his tax by transferring it to a ‘family member ‘ or similar .
    The cabinet are simpletons in both their professional and private lives …. But let’s blame the Chinese / Russians ….
