    I’ve also rolled back the WordPress Theme changes made last week so the website should be the same as it was before the updates. The theme developers introduced a major update recently which broke many things. I finally bit the bullet and updated last week, but it clearly still wasn’t working well enough, mainly on mobile devices. Apologies for the painful website experience over the last few days.

        Thanks Rufus. I often like to keep something as is, especially when it works well. I had adjusted to the change but prefer the old style.

        Am not too bothered on New Threads arriving on time. Why?

        Am born & bred Londoner.

        You get used to delays from birth. (Yes, I turned up late, so my mother tells me.)

    Thats the whole bloody problem: no one is “dealing with it” just ranting on here, which maybe makes one feel a little better but : who actually officially complains ? who contacts their MP who does anything other than rant on here which will make no diffrence whatsoever ? any answers to that as to making a difference and doing something ?

      Totally agree, Annunaki. I’ve fired off three official complaints in the last month. Trouble is you usually get the usual fob off, but I’m hoping eventually the volume they receive will have some impact – but I won’t hold my breath.

      From another angle, it appears to be getting a little more balanced on social media lately as more voices answer the raging lefties who’ve had it to themselves for so long. And thank god for Jordan B. Peterson – he now has 550,000 followers on Twitter which shows there’s an appetite for counteracting all the total crap from the cultural marxists.

    On BBC London last week there was a report of a school in Westminster that was set to close. Several parents were interviewed. They were indignant. And children.
    There was not a single English accent.
    A school entirely for immigrants. How enriching.

      Schools in central London are a problem largely because of the demographics. Take for example the Ark Primary School in Paddington Green. Over 82% of the children are not native English speakers and I would say are predominantly Arab Muslims. This may be the causal factor in the rather poor attainment figures for the school. Fewer than 45% reached the required proficiency expected in English and Maths. Hardly surprising when English is not spoken at home nor in the playground, I would expect. We are not doing ourselves or these children any favours by allowing such a concentration of a mono-culture in a London school. It must be a contributory factor in these pupils failing; I have no doubt the teaching staff do their very best, but for these children to thrive in British society they need to be educated at a school that is representative of our countrywide demographic, not in a ghetto that is the Edgware Road, London. How can they absorb British culture and mores if they remain isolated, segregated and distinct from the host population. We are storing up trouble for the future.

    On BBC news channel around 0735. Naga introduces……wait for it……an article on child abuse. She lists the towns. Rochdale, Rotherham,et al. Now Telford. She spells it out.
    She then interviews the police national lead for child abuse.
    In the entire interview the words Asian men came up once and the police chief did so with a noticeable pause as if he really did not want to do it.
    He then spent the whole interview explaining that most child abuse is in the home and that there are many other patterns of abuse. In other words, belittling the events in the towns we know so well.
    These people are in total denial. He should be sacked on the spot. Needless to say, Naga gave him the softest ride possible.
    Utterly pathetic.

      On Friday the Media Show was holding someone from the BBC to account for the lack of news about Telford. Apparently the news broke last Sunday and it took our national broadcaster until after 9am on Monday to check the facts, because as we the audience would understand we wouldn’t want to be fed false news. He said the BBC led with it on Victoria Derbyshire. (What are her viewing figures?). I would have liked to have asked why they couldn’t have said something on the Today programme on the Monday morning but the interviewer obviously didn’t think that relevant.

      Sluff,
      I think that when they trott out the phrase , ‘most child abuse is done by white men’ , they mean that more perverted white men are suspected or convicted of abusing a child or perhaps two or three children. Of course it could be just an outright lie because no one could have any trust in the authorities these days. But what needs to be asked and never is , is what % of the total number of abuses of individual children and young girls are committed by Muslims? In this % if a girl is raped twenty times over the course of three months by a man it counts as twenty crimes. If the man concerned rapes four different girls twenty times it counts as eighty crimes.if the same girl is raped twenty times by each of four different men it counts as eighty crimes.
      I think it very likely that given the industrial scale of the abuse that has been reported that Muslims are responsible for the vast majority of rapes and abuse in this country on the above basis.
      In addition I am certain that many more cases have been reported to the police than have been admitted to . We can perhaps multiply those we know of by any number between three and twenty. In total that probably means that Muslim men have committed hundreds of thousands of rapes of young girls in our country , perhaps millions.
      The only way that the authorities can disprove this is by a full independent inquiry chaired by people whom the public can trust , not by one of the usual politically correct merchants. Certainly the police need to be kept well away from the inquiry team because they themselves need to be investigated for their part in the cover ups.
      But I noted that on the recent Telford scandal that the Times ,which first reported the Rotherham scandal, said nothing. I strongly suspect that the Home Office has ordered that the media try and cover up and downplay the scale of these crimes.
      So we are left to speculate ,as I have done, as to how big this problem is, how many girls have been raped and how often, how many cases have been covered up and by whom, and in the light of the Telford disclosures how many girls were tortured and murdered. The extent of this scandal beggars belief and yet the authorities think that they cover it up for the sake of their laughable ‘community cohesion’

          Yes you are right the % of Muslims in the general population must be taken into account. I expect that the difference between the number of rapes , accounted for on the above basis, committed per head in the non Muslim population will be a small fraction of those in the Muslim population

        Officially there have been no convictions for this in Luton, when Tommy Robinson first draw the media’s attention to it happening there. ROPers view the founder of their creed the perfect man who should be emulated. He had sex slaves and it is sanctioned in their book: “captives of the right hand.”

        The actual extent of the crimes is beyond our darkest imaginings. If even what we have been told officially is this bad you can bet the actual reality of it is so, so much worse. Probably the worst crimes ever committed on this soil during peace time, worse than even Enoch Powell portended.

      The pattern of offending is so different. You always have the odd weirdo in the white British community, but for child rape to seem so acceptable that you can pass her around your mates is several orders of magnitude worse. If a white taxi driver told his mates he had a school girl for them to rape together he would get his head kicked in and the Police would be called. That the ‘communities’ never inform the Police really is beyond the pale and shows how our moralities are irreconcilably different.

      He then spent the whole interview explaining that most child abuse is in the home and that there are many other patterns of abuse…..

      In other words, moral equivalence, as practised widely by the Left especially when they are losing an argument and want to muddy the waters.

      If you are a regular practitioner of moral relativism you eventually end up on the fence without a moral compass. A typical example of that in Britain is the ‘all cultures are equal’ agenda, where you will hear any criticism of, say, the religion of peace countered with ‘it’s only like….’ and being presented with some out-of-context quote from the Bible or some ignorant statement about The Crusades.

      And now we can all see where the multicultural agenda, forced on us ‘racists’ for so long and for so long backed up by moral relativism, is leading us, and it’s not looking good.

    Exactly Annunaki – And all these other religion and cultures are resilient and mature enough not to judge the others as a threat or a victim to be conquered . They concentrate on improvement of the self rather than conquest.

    It is no surprise that it appears to me that wherever Islam raises its head in the world there is conflict. Yet they always seem to play a blinder in the victim-hood stakes. It is always someone else’ s fault. Rather like the madman in the asylum saying “its the others” whilst throwing cups of piss at everyone else and smashing his head against the cell wall.

    Unfortunately in this country we have a loose collection of hand wringing crybabies and cynical political operators who for their own selfish and misplaced altruism are more than willing to allow this religion and the unpleasant cultural hand baggage to dominate and eventually destroy our society which up until now has been pretty well integrated.

    We are committing cultural suicide of the highest order and no-one in Government is willing to talk about it and you are right Annunaki it is time we all got more active than just tub thumping. Looks like my MP will getting another letter from me this week too. But I fear things have now gone beyond this.

        They realise that to even acknowledge that fact, could cause the whole facade to come crashing down and for it to be exposed for the malignant lie it truly is.

    His defence of the the non-coverage of the Telford story was absolutely cringeworthy. In essence, ‘we did cover it’. Then he lists the ‘coverage’. It was on the English regions page of the website on Tuesday! We covered a parliamentary statement! He was absolutely dredging the barrel yet with the confidence of a person who knows he is untouchable.

    Sky news runs with the headline “We need to talk about Stormy Daniels”

    https://news.sky.com/story/sky-views-we-need-to-talk-about-stormy-daniels-11295115

    For those who haven’t followed the story, “Stormy” is a prostitute who claims that Donald Trump paid her $130,000 to remain silent about their liaisons.

    Turns out that not only is Stormy a slag but she’s a slag without honour because she signed a non-disclosure agreement but has spoken out because she claims The Donald failed to sign the document so she’s free to smear his name and try and earn more money from being a completely dishonest slag.

    My problem lies not only with the rancid Stormy but with the equally foul Sky news who feel that it’s more important to run with a nothing story about an alleged affair someone may have had years ago, than run with the headline “We need to talk about Muslim grooming gangs”

    RE: Peterson against Newman.

    He explains that men and women are different and want different things therefore different outcomes. This is an expert who knows exactly what he is talking about can can back up all his opinions with sound evidence. More than 8 million watch it and it is lights up the internet. How many views would your standard BBC SJW interview get – a few thousand accompanied with hundreds of contemptuous comments beneath?

    Do the SJWs at the BBC even consider his arguments let alone counter them? Of course not. So we have a farcical story about an actor getting paid more than another – as so often happens in the wheeling, dealing world of show business – as it is the only story which fits their false narrative. Do they not know everyone has the internet?

    The same argument applies to different outcomes for different cultures: different values – that cherished ‘diversity’ – makes different outcomes inevitable and eminently desirable. Why should you force a Rastafarian to become a partner in a law firm and work 70 hours a week if he would absolutely hate that life style?

    Yet their spurious and tyrannical narrative about equal outcomes is so entrenched that they will never even question it. Thus they become like Comical Ali during the Iraq War declaring imminent victory as the country exploded behind him. Rape gangs, a murder a day in London and most women not wanting to be welders et cetera? Look – a millionaire actress is not paid as well as another actor!

    No sentient human could possibly believe in the world view they push so fanatically. Alas they will probably never change, as no matter how dire their output they will still get paid thanks to their ‘unique method of funding’ i.e. extortion.

      Peterson points out that the serious SJWs don’t believe their own worldview themselves, though they are naturally blind to their own contradictions.

      Their stated position is that everything is a social construct and hence relative, even science (in the main, carried out by dead white Christian men, after all).

      Really? Antibiotics are socially constructed? Reductions in childbirth deaths?

    Well, it comes as no surprise that Paul Golding had been attacked by muslims, while in prison, apparently with help from the prison staff.

    This cannot be allowed to happen, it should be reported by all the major news providers, even the far-left bbc.

    The prison governor and Amber Rudd have a duty to protect prisoners in their care and they are repeatedly failing to do so by allowing muslims in prison to attack normal people who have upset them.

      Anyway, it’s worrying that Prison staff would show partisan behaviour in favour of muslims. Please don’t tell me the prison staff are muslim now.

    Today, as most on here will be aware, Tommy Robinson will be reading Martin Sellner’s prepared speech at Speakers Corner. I fear for Tommy’s safety as he has not been hiding his plan, despite organising his own security.

    However, what’s the betting the BBC will only give it major coverage if there is violence caused by their heroes, although they will blame Tommy’s supporters. They may give it a mention if few people turn up, and I feel that will happen because of this weather, and laugh at him for not getting enough support.

    Tommy’s right to read Sellner’s words is fundamental but will be attacked for being racist, which I am sure it will not actually be. The police could move in and arrest Tommy for being a “conservative” and prevent the speech altogether.

    We are living in interesting times but this could be the tipping point. Either the speech is prevented by the Government (ie the Police) and we never get back the Freedom of Speech that we had until Blair and May, or it may become the turning point when the British People start to demand the return of our democracy.

      See also Peter Hitchens’ warning on the frightening loss of freedom of speech in Britain. He is correct, as we on this site know full well. The vilification and harassment of Tommy Robinson is monstrous. Of course, he was once (a long time ago) a bad lad, as Lord Pearson said in that most interesting recent interview (and Tommy, to his great credit, allowed the remark to remain in the video). For myself, I was wary of TB and especially his followers, but it seems to me he is now is a mature, moderate and effective (and brave) commentator on topics that should be aired, but are abhorred by politicians, the media and the law.

      A few days ago, the police forced Tommy Robinson to leave the park. He recorded it on his phone and it’s on YouTube.

      One of these days, normality will return to our country and many, including in the police and prison services, will be held to account for their actions. They need to remember that ‘ obeying orders’ is not an acceptable defence.

I would never say their opinions should be illegal though, in part because they are so obviously wrong. Bullying and censorship are the last resort of tyrants who have lost the hearts and minds of their people.

    We are looking for BBC impartiality which was last seen around the 1960s . This is most evident with their comedies which were actually funny but are just PC drivel now .
    A reward for anyone who can find the following

    A so called comedy programme ;

    That doesn’t mention Trump ÂŁ1000
    That doesn’t insult UKIP voters ÂŁ500
    That insults Remoaners ÂŁ1600000
    That reminds it’s audience that Corbyn likes
    Terrorists ÂŁ1000
    That treats university lecturers as the immature
    Retards who receives our money to study the
    subjects they’re prejudiced about ÂŁ7000
    That a presenter doesn’t see an empty
    space somewhere and say We Can Have More
    Immigration ÂŁ5000
    Doesn’t poke fun of old people and their
    Likes ,dislikes and voting ÂŁ7000

    There’s a special reward if anyone ever sees or hears a BBC comedy which pokes fun at their hypocritical troughing and virtue signalling in one go .

      Proper comedy makes you laugh by surprising you, something true but unsaid like Chris Rock’s hilarious routine about how women have Platonic friends but men just have women they have not f**ked yet.

      With the BBC we already know exactly what they will say as political correctness is a strait jacket – we know all the answers before even asking the questions. Also there is none of rebel comedians taking on the powerful establishment, as That Was the Week That Was did so seminally and brilliantly. The BBC IS the establishment so instead of rebelling against the powerful like so many good artists do, they sneer at weak groups they do not approve of.

      They can be amusing and clever, but you will never get that belly laugh which comes from a sacred cow being slaughtered. A show mocking the liberal elite and what troughing hypocrites they are could be properly hilarious. God imagine Owen Jones having to have an Afgani warlord stay in his spare room would be, lecturing him about micro aggressions whilst the warlord beats him for being homosexual. When Lily met Rapey could be pretty hilarious as well – let Lily Allen see what it can be like sharing your space with people who hate women.

      Political correctness sucks all the fun and sanity out of the world.

        The vicar lauded Stephen Hawking-atheist, numpty, BDS, Israel bashing(while using their chips and clever hardware to keep him alive at the same time).
        He said not a word about Ken Dodd-whose death is FAR more significant, Christian and turned the State over with his tax trial. Like Monkhouse-we love those the State tried to smash, and who turned it over. What`s the point of once being a punk and then sucking up to Clegg and his CBI groomers if you don`t see the REAL rebellion on offer?

        That the Church phones it in from the Guardian, speaking to their liberal tribes is all too obvious.
        We , in contrast, hold our church services in the House of Brexit-The William Henry, The Sedgelynn and all manner of Tim Martins gaffs.

    Here at Morrison Towers I have appointed a “special counsel” to investigate the so-called “Beast From The East” weather bombs. The investigation is in good hands since I have appointed my top investigator Jon “Simples” Sopel to get to the bottom of the so-called rumours that the RUSSIANS are controlling our weather.

    There are some uncharitable people who suggest that the RUSSIANS couldn’t organise a “farting party in a cabbage field” or even a discreet political assassination. But I remain unconvinced. How is it that global temperatures are going through the roof and we get a cold spell in winter? Just doesn’t make sense. After the RUSSIANS recent coup in getting their chosen candidate Comrade Trumpsky into the White House, we must be on our constant guard.

    In fact I have already spent ÂŁ12 million on a report from a bloke with a Classics degree who I met at the Pigs Might Fly public house, the head office of his company Porkies R Us. Just before Porkies went into administration last week, he informed me that he had discovered that thousand of Russians trolls were manufacturing cold air to order and then blowing it in a westerly direction with large handheld fans.

    PC Simples is instructed to investigate these allegations fully and when he finds they are true to start leaking the information to all the usual friendly suspects. He is to start with the Green Party, followed by the Met Office. After that he is to leak to selected geographers, sorry, climate science correspondents, in the main press.

    A start can be made with the BBC where I understand PC Simples also plys his trade on the indoor Washington DC beat.

Then we are instructed “with all the demographic changes going on – old people who voted Leave dying off being replaced by young people who voted Remain – surely there must be a second referendum” – BBC ageist bullshit plus the leftist surge amongst younger voters has been disproved as a myth. The BBC conveniently forgets that young people become older people.

      a) They are older and therefore wiser
      b) They are concerned for their kids’ and grandkids’ futures
      c) They do not believe they have any authority to vote away the democratic rights of future generations
      d) They have had 40 years of watching how the EU operates and have sussed it out for what it is i.e. an unelected, authoritarian, unaccountable bureaucracy.

      There is a famous observation that goes something along the lines of ‘Democracy is a pact between the living, the dead and those yet to be born’. Brexit is the prime example of that pact being kept.

    On the one hand they want us in the EU , saying its good for business and jobs .
    The next is they say we are a rich country and can afford to splash money around the world , giving to all and sundry . Then they splurge it around the UK , then allow all the world in to receive what they want , never throwing anyone out who damages us .
    Then they advocate damaging policies so that ” Britain can be the leader in …….” leading to loss of jobs .
    Then they make a skills shortage , and import labour with or without the skills to make up for it .

    I have a better idea . Why don’t we be a little less wealthy , less taxed , less throwing our money away , less interfering in others affairs , everyone to have a job and no mass immigration ?

      I’d say it doesn’t matter to them as long as they continue to get funded through their peculiar institution of the licence fee.

      I think the short-to-medium term aims of the BBC are –

      Get us back in the EU pronto.
      Carry on encouraging mass immigration to..
      ..ensure we have continual Labour/left governments.
      Assist in whatever way it can to encourage the natives to emigrate, or get old white people to die off quicker.

      Of course in the long term this will lead to economic ruin, but by then the rest of Europe will be the same. Equality of outcomes is a win-win in BBC world.

      By c.2060 Britons will be a minority within their own homeland. This is set to happen even if immigration to the UK were to cease completely, due to the vastly higher birth rate of Third Worlders and Muslims who are already here; the increasingly miscegenated proportion of the population and the low birth rate amongst the indigenous inhabitants.

      The legislation such as that proposed by the SNP MP, will have no effect on the ultimate outcome of Britons’ approching minority status in Britain, other than it may cause it to happen slightly more quickly than it will otherwise.

      Pounce,
      I think that we have here a perfect demonstration of how democracy is failing in this country. Any poll will show that the British people do not want more migrants yet their wishes are ignored and another tens of thousands are invited in by our leaders. The democratic remedy for such disregard for voters wishes is to kick out the leaders who did it. But in the UK the only choice that we have is one party that says it will limit immigration but never does and one party that wants even more immigration. But the people still go on voting for them and seeing their country stolen from them as a consequence.
      Starting up a new party in the UK is very difficult , expensive and personally dangerous both reputation wise and physically. AMW is trying it but regrettably I don’t think that she will succeed. The establishment will combine to stop her. Only by the success of parties overseas eg Visegrad, Austria possibly Italy , although the latest signs from Italy are not too good, will there be an example that can show the people that immigration can be stopped and possibly reversed. But time is short and the prognosis not good.

          Yes, it’s a great pity that we won the cold war. Who knows maybe Vladimir Vladimirovich would have been posted to England rather than Germany and have become our Veliki Vozhd. I can imagine him riding through the streets of London, bare-chested on his charger keeping order with his Cossacks. They sorted out Pussy Riot and I’m sure Owen “pretty boy” Jones wouldn’t be so cocky after a palpatio per anem with a nogaika.
          My personal favorite is the other Vladimir, Vladimir Zhirnovsky.
          He makes Putin look like a nancy boy. Strong leader my arse.

          In a 2003 video, drunk Zhirinovsky threatened George W. Bush in offensive language. He called the United States a “second-hand goods store” filled with “cocksuckers, handjobbers, and faggots,” and claimed that Russian scientists are able to change the gravitational field of the Earth and sink the entire country. In the video Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky and Condoleezza Rice are also mentioned. Zhirinovsky calls Condoleezza Rice: “a black whore who needs a good cock. Send her here, one of our divisions will make her happy in the barracks one night. She will choke on Russian sperm as it will be leaking out of her ears… until she crawls to the US embassy in Moscow on her knees.”

          In the wake of the February 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, Zhirinovsky was quoted by the Russian International News Agency as claiming “It’s not meteors falling, it’s the test of a new weapon by the Americans.” At the same time, he derided the Russian Academy of Sciences for anarchism, having scientists that are so old that their brains and reproductive organs don’t work any longer, and told the “elders” to go home and collect their pensions.
          I enjoyed watching him on Russian chat shows. If anyone disrespected him he would throw water over them or give them a good slapping. If only Theresa May would show backbone like this to the EU. Even Laughing Boy Farage would be happy.

              You are rehashing the same old fallacious arguments from the Soviet era. The Soviets always claimed that they needed a buffer zone between the USSR and Nato to protect them. This was the Eastern block. Of course they were overjoyed to have Soviet troops on Nato borders but no Nato troops on theirs.
              The Soviets lost. The tables have turned and Russia now finds itself in the same situation as the west from the end of WWII to the collapse of Communism.
              There was also another major European state that took the ethnicity of its population and its national identity seriously.
              Why is the Putin model more appealing to you than the Hitler model?
              Putin is a Russian nationalist maybe even a panslavist. Unless you are a slav or orthodox why would you feel more at home with the Putin model rather than the Hitler model which was more sympathetic to Angosaxons. Has RT been pushing the idea that Putin is the “saviour of the white man”?. I have not watched RT for a long time. Does RT support white supremecism in the USA?
              There is nothing wrong with an ethnostate preserving national identity but do ethnostates have to be police states? The Japanese are not troubled with muslim terrorism or the problems of multiculturalism. They are aging more rapidly than us, yet do not need vast numbers of immigrants to keep their social services going. All that seems possible without emperor worship and bushido.

According to the write up it was a progressive move forward for British Muslims. Two years after his appointment he’s now been booted out amidst cries of racism – but according to some, his English wasn’t up to scratch and couldn’t do the job, so who gave him this ÂŁ80,000 a year job in the first place ?

    BBC News Channel now rather boldly boasts that the publicly funded corporation can help school children differentiate between true and fake news – you’ll have seen the periodic BBC-branded mini-adverts. I tend to believe there are two distinct things going on here. Yes, the BBC are keen to schmooze with the education sector. But this info-tainment the BBC put out serves a secondary purpose – that of subtly propagating and reinforcing the notion aimed at the wider public that the BBC is truthful and not itself a purveyor of fake news. Think of the public sector adverts you will have seen for teacher or nursing recruitment – why is there the widespread expensive broadcasting to the general public? Would it not be more efficient to utilise more specifically targeted media to potential recruits? Well, not so. Not if your ulterior motive in advertising is to reassure the general public that you are recruiting to those popular public sector areas. Think about it… have you ever seen an expensive tv advert for hiring parking attendents?

    I’m willing to bet the BBC will get a more favourable shift in public confidence from this campaign ostensibly aimed at school kids than a dozen news editors fronting up on the Samira Ahmed show and parroting the claim that they think they got it about right.

    Here’s a small gripe I have from today on the News Channel which came up closely juxtaposed with one of these fake news for kids adverts. Ben Brown was the news anchor energetically welcoming a spokeswoman for Team GB Winter Para… Lympics…? (not too sure where the Para bit goes. Please, let’s not be disrespectful and call it the Limp-ics for short).

    In the interview, clearly designed for the spokeswoman to have airtime with which to plead the case for spending on this obscure boondoggle, twice over Ben Brown emphasised the word ‘Investment’ meaning the public money spent on sending the GB team to Korea.

    The dictionary meaning of the word invesment is : ‘the action or process of investing money for profit’

    The popular understanding of the word when referring to money is the investment of cash in expectation of an increased cash return over time. Afterall that’s the basis of capitalism, isn’t it? The idea that capital is invested because it is hoped there will be earnings from that capital investment. Anything else is philantrophy.

    The word investment is not a synonym for public spending. Although the BBC too often use it as such.

    Our Ben does realise that those medals they give out at the Olympics are not real solid gold, or doesn’t he?

    The terminology here is crucial since the gradual elision into naming all forms of public spending as investment is a corruption of the language. Moreover it is a politically motivated tactic of big government spending enthusiasts on the political Left.

    All Public Spending is Investment? Fake news, more like.

      I’ve always wondered why the BBC thinks that it is specially placed to determine what is a true statement and what is not.
      Unless they have supernatural powers, there are no techniques or approaches unique to the BBC that other people cannot use.
      They have more time to check and analyze their researches as they are paid to do that as their main employment. Other people don’t have that luxury. I suppose they could be better at processing and analyzing large amounts of information because of their superior intelligence, education and training.
      A more likely explanation is that the BBC’s concern about “fake news” is simply a classic demarcation dispute and the BBC is attempting to marginalise competion from internet news sites and bloggers by undermining their credibility. It’s not as if the BBC was doing original social or political research. What sources can the BBC access that a well-run internet news site can’t. You could argue that the BBC is better placed to cultivate contacts with politicians and civil servants, but then the news is more likely to have an agenda.

        FE2 – I am sure this order came straight from the top
        We have a former useless Home Secretary now Prime Minister who was more than happy to allow Tommy Robinson to be attacked in prison, financially ruined and also harassed by police and a current just as useless Home Secretary who not to be outdone by Sharia allowed Paul Golding to be attacked in prison. As well as locking up and subsequently throwing out a number of harmless foreign individuals who just wanted us to hear the truth whilst the Goverment is still cosying up to the returned Jihadis

        Seems like a bit of a pattern is beginning to form. If you care for your country and dare to speak out you are quite likely to get a holiday courtesy of Her Majesties Pleasure and maybe come away from your sentence with various bits of your body broken. I hold no candle or Paul Golding – but he is a product of what will be coming to all of us unless as a nation we start to resist these bastards.

        Maybe now imprisonment it should be renamed as Ambers pleasure. I do sometimes wonder whether she enjoys the negative aspects of her job just a little bit too much.

        Unfortunately both these non entity politicians in better times would have remained just that. However in these days where political cowardice and dishonesty appear to be the only game in town in mainstream politics. I am sure they will go from strength to strength – until we reach a state of civil war.

    I see from their web-site that the BBC are claiming that the Foreign Secretary is claiming that the Russians are stockpiling nerve agent.

    If so, I don’t know where the Russians are keeping the bloke or blokess (other genders are NOT available in this case because according to the chemistry expert on Radio 4 last week, a nerve agent is binary and cannot be stockpiled made up or mixed up) but I guess we are meant to be afeared of ‘im or ‘er.

    Well, Bojo, I am not.

    What I am afeared of, is Government Ministers not listening to and/or understanding what the experts that they employ and pay with our money are telling them. I exclude that silly Public Health (England) chief from the expert class by the way. In this Bojo is following the non-excellent example of BBC interviewers, many of whom do not listen to the answers they are being given on air, by someone in front of their microphone.

    The BBC are apparently losing the desire to ask questions or even think in critical fashion.

    Porton Down has a chemical lab (Detection Department, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) 15 minutes drive away from the Salisbury incident, Dr Robin Black who has just been replaced as head of the department had commented on Novichoks being engineered to be undetectable, two years ago. And the new people in the department seem under pressure from MI6 to blame Russia before going through the official rules, conventions and protocols that Dr Black would have insisted on. In fact before any evidence of what substance was even used. Doctors at Salisbury District Hospital say they are baffled by their symptoms and have no idea what substance they’ve been exposed to? Also of the 131 people identified as being exposed to the nerve agent, none has shown any symptoms, not even a doctor who spent half an hour touching the patients, unprotected, at the scene, and was the fourth person admitted to the Hospital, but never showed any symptoms at all, at any time.

    Sergei Skripal’s handler, the MI6 agent Pablo Miller OBE was living in Salisbury, as is proven by its mention on his Linkedin Google search result page. Apart from the search results and images for Orbis, his Linkedin profile has been scrubbed from the Linkedin archive, but the information exists on old pages of the dark web which prove Pablo Miller’s links with Christopher Steele for the creation of the “Trump Dossier”. It also says that he was awarded an OBE for service to British foreign policy as First Secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It then claims that he retired to Salisbury in February 2015. I also know that he graduated from Oxford University in 1982. The reference to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the Google search results is a reference to the finding that he still works part-time for the Foreign Office on a contract basis from Salisbury.

    Its now a bit like the Climate Change Hoax:
    (1) No evidence of the warming properties of Carbon Dioxide have been published. No evidence of the active properties of Novichok have been published. (ebook-dl.com/downloadshort/15067)
    (2) The IPCC says Carbon Dioxide warming is “very likely”, Theresa May says Russia did it is “very likely”
    (3) An international groupthink consensus has been constructed to blame Carbon Dioxide. An international groupthink consensus has been constructed to blame Russia.
    (4) Debate about the facts and Atmospheric Physics is being drowned out by articles and articles of Waffle about assumptions and speculation about the environment. Debate about the facts and chemical used is being drowned out by articles and articles of Waffle about assumptions and speculation about the Russians.
    (5) Fake News Alarmism about Warming causing a reduction of life forms. But (1) Summer is more fruitful than Winter (2) The Day is more fruitful than the night (3) The Medieval Warm period was more fruitful than the Mini Ice Age. Fake News Alarmism about the Stockpiling of Novichoks. But (1) Novichoks are not difficult to make (2) Novichoks degrade easily (3) Not much is needed (4) Dangerous to store unless it has degraded (5) The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons wouldn’t be able to prove that Novichoks are being stockpiled, anyway?

    The Novichok agents are thought to be far more difficult to detect during manufacturing and far easier to manufacture covertly, because they can be made with common chemicals in relatively simple pesticide factories.
    The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is the intergovernmental organisation overseeing the elimination of chemical weapons. In 2013, the organisation’s Scientific Advisory Board, did not recommend that novichoks should be added to its banned list, because there wasn’t any evidence that they could be proven to exist.

    So are the investigators in Salisbury eliminating those suspicious foreigners working at Porton Down? Are the investigators eliminating men who work at Porton Down with blond American wives, from their enquiries?

    The Russian development of Novichok was in fact developed in the Soviet Union outside of Russia, and since 1991, Uzbekistan has been working with the CIA to dismantle the sites where the Novichok agents were tested and developed.

      Richard, I have read your posting with interest, and most certainly support your Climate Change observations. But I have some reservations.

      Have you inside knowledge of Porton Down that leads you to conclude that on a matter of consequence such as this, that they would deceive the public?

      My understanding is that the US, UN and other countries investigated the matter before adding to the finger pointing at Russia. I.e. this is not merely reckless support.

      The doctor may not have been infected but the police officer who attempted to treat them was affected. Having seen that the police officer was also stricken, might the doctor have donned gloves before he touched the patients?

        ss, having seen paramedics in action, they are usually gloved and may well, in our winter with ‘flu’ still around, be masked as well.

        As I pointed out elsewhere, ‘Novichoks- type’ nerve agents are said to decay and cannot be stored ready to use for any length of time – as I have been led to believe by one or more chemists commenting on BBC R4 in the middle of each of the past two weeks. If that is correct, that will apply even more to when these chemicals are exposed to air. In other words, they have a tiny ‘half-life’.

        This is why some serious questioning needs to be applied by the BBC, other MSM to our politicians, as well as any investigating officers. There appear to be a notable lack of Press Conferences on this. That is interesting.

        Several other mysteries and contradictions are arising out of this, including the stated destruction of evidence before the point of infection was apparently established, as stated by the BBC R4 1pm news yesterday. That contradicted other statements from some days previously.

        I received an email from someone who claims that they have talked to people at Porton Down and the Hospital.

        I suppose the doctor was not affected because she wasn’t near any dry Novichok Powder. The degradation would be due to humidity. The Police Officer must have been in more direct contact with the original source of the Novichok powder before it was neutralised by water molecules. As far as I know, what’s left of the powder cannot be proven to be Novichoks.

          Richard, we do not know how it was administered. It has been assumed by the BBC that it was in spray form.

          Do you have definite confirmation that these nerve agents are or can be powdered? If so, that might firm up the three joint suicide/Julia Skripal as assailant/Julia Skripal unwittingly carrying the nerve agent placed in her casein Moscow possibilities.

          Skin to skin contact with recent victims of a nerve agent must be one reason for bio hazard suits for medical staff and investigators as well as the added advantage on non-contamination of a scene-of-crime.

Anyway, as usual with this sort of news item, e.g. ‘visit a mosque day for infidels’ and being soppy about a new eco friendly mosque we are obviously supposed to be impressed by the piety and goodness of the muslims of Peterborough. Worryingly, some of the infidels of Peterborough must be taken in by all this.
