    I was going to go on a full rant after this weekend, but the wind has been taken completely away from my sails by this achievement.

    I’ll post again in 10 mins or so, once I’ve regained my ire from the Website we all love to hate.

    I don’t watch TV thank goodness, it is probably as bad for your health as smoking is these days!

    However, I had the misfortune to have the radio on whilst driving this morning OMG the 7.00am news on radio two. Far right thugs fighting with police throwing bottles sticks arrests made.
    Elsewhere The protest against racism march largely passed off peacefully or words very similar to that. I can’t remember verbatim because the off button was immediately pressed.

    What planet do the Bbc think the general public come from. Last weekend we all could see the video’s on social media of police being charged beaten etc by the so called BLM against racism louts and not a peep out of Auntie. Disgraceful. Unbelievable I really cannot believe the current level of bias from the Beeb and cannot understand what on earth they are hoping, if anything to achieve. Disgusting

    How do they know people are far right? please don’t answer that I know anyone even remotely right of centre are now deemed “far right thugs by the Bbc and its cronies

    I am informed by the BBC that ducks eggs bought from the supermarket favoured by Beeboids – because they got a lot of work writing for the house newspaper + extra money? and possibly a discount as well – may contain hatchable ducklings.

    [I should point out that I, too, am a fan, not so much of the supermarket, but certainly of the rest of the retail business from which I derive no work, earnings or discounts.]

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52838747

    Sales of these eggs should rocket after this free BBC advertising. I understand that the woman who achieved this also keeps chickens. Where the three new ducklings will come in the household pecking order, I have no idea.

    After that sentence, I shall tiptoe to the cloakroom to fetch my summer jacket for when the air starts to cool.

    Just for you Fed….

    They are coming for your town statue, even your street name. That innocuous and irrelevant monument, walked past a million times without thought, is now weaponised by a hateful ‘cancel culture’ hellbent on destroying anything they deem ‘wrong’. Trawling through history, like the inquisition, they hunt out offence and then label with one word; ‘Racist’. It trumps any good in the ledger, stands higher than any achievement. It is the only yardstick by which anyone is measured; to hell with historical context.

    Should the Archangel Gabriel himself be immortalised in stone he would be targeted as rebelling against God because he looked a bit funny: ‘we have evidence’ they say! Nothing can escape this kind of inquisition.

    We all see the reductive puritanism for what it really is. Marxism. ‘Anti-Racism’ simply used as a conduit, a trojan horse, for policies and decisions utterly rejected under Corbyn yet trailed endlessly by the BBC. Marxism doesn’t care how power is achieved, it just wants power.

    The Mayor of London’s (BBC’s politician in residence) recent statement is one of the greatest works of fiction of all time. Is it critiqued anywhere? No. It’s just printed verbatim. This is PRAVDA. Particularly when the deliberate decision vacuum by Mayor Khunt (sic) last weekend, led directly to the very predictable reaction we saw. People will protect what they will not.

    The BBC magnify ‘thuggery’ by counter protesters in the same way they minimise ‘riots’ by the BLM crowd. Like the rest of the MSM, they simply hate Britain and therefore amplify what they see as righteous? No critical review anywhere. No sensible, contextualised debate. A fait accompli. We are all racist, everything must change, they are right, if you disagree you are extreme.

    I also listened to Nicholas Soames describe how his grandfather would not sanction the protection of his statue by ‘Far Right extremists’. Wow! I’m no extremist but support anyone who defends our heritage and I suspect his grandfather would agree with me not him. Soames is a Tory for Gods sake!!!

    We are now in a Culture war. The cancel culture given endless oxygen by a media championed by the BBC, the rest of us defending Britain’s heritage (Good and Bad). Clips are edited to suit a narrative. Dissenting voices are excluded or rounded upon, critique is shouted down and balance ignored. People are turning against the media and the BBC in droves, journalists at counter protests are seen now as an enemy. Objectivity has long gone.

    Of course, the ‘Marxist/Liberal left’ is the very blood in the veins of the British Society now. It’s police hierarchy, the educational establishment, the NHS, the BBC, the civil service, even the Premier League. Despite a Tory government, the wagons are constantly encircled by an entirely liberal architecture. They lost Brexit but they will win the culture war.

    Fake news has never been, ‘more real’ and the BBC never more hated after these last 2 weeks.

    I actually think the fun and games have yet to start. Just wait until unemployment reaches 4 million around November when the furlough stops!

      The police, our police, who wear the symbol of the Crown, and the authority of E11R on their caps, bowed and submitted. They submitted the Crown and Her Majesty, to indignity that has never ever occurred to the Crown in historic memory.

      The following day, it was still possible to recover. . But no one did. It was then up to us, the great British public to rise up and defend the honour of the Crown. To our shame, we didn’t either.

      At last, the EDL and others with them, rose to defend the nations’s honour. They may not be the kind of people you or I would invite, but they have more honour then all the elite, PM, cabinet and parliament put together. Its not surprising that the EDL rose up. After all, it was they who protested the mass gang rapes of English girls, which the authorities turned a blind eye. They revealed the ugly shameful secret. Far from a gang of thugs, they are true patriots. Rough hewn but patriots. To an extent they rescued the people’s honour. Its not surprising the elite and their state funded broadcaster, the BBC, castigate the EDL as Far Right.

      Make no mistake, if the nation is in peril, it will be these rough men who will defend us, as they did in WW11.

      God help us.

          They put up with onslaught from the establishment + BBC, because they revealed the complicity in the rape of tens of thousands of English girls by Pakistani Muslims.

          Never in the history of any nation anywhere, has there been such a shameful crime. Its as if there was a definite plan by the establishment to extinguish Britain, or atleast wipe out the working class.

      Exellent piece- Indeed let us all be in no doubt that all of these extreme leftist subverts operate outside democracy and they’re crushing it by violently stifling opposition and intimidating voters. This assault on democracy by undemocratic far-left extremists is exacerbated by the actions of the increasingly politicised police who collaborate with them-Their aim is to turn what would otherwise be peaceful protests into violence with the media always depicting it as violent clashes between far-right extremists and anti-fascists.By permitting far-left communist inc BBC et al-extremists to hold these counter-protests, yet another fundamental democratic right is crushed by the jackboot of socialism: the right to protest peacefully. This disgraceful corruption of democracy occurs throughout Europe. The message is clear: anyone who dares to oppose multiculturalism will face demonization and attack. It’s the new totalitarian Marxist ideology that has crept almost surreptitiously into our midst. As one put it ‘Nationalist and patriotic people who want to preserve their nations and identities in free liberal democracies aren’t the ones who are dangerous. Far-left totalitarian Marxists and their socialist comrades, BBC et al, all medai, who are forcibly imposing cultural Marxism and stamping out democracy are the real threat to Western civilization and humanity.

    I think you are right about the descent of the BBC as evidenced by the Twitter campaign and the comments that come with it. I reckon capita will be recruiting a lot more stazi with that oh so long list of cancelled TV licences . On which subject the government must be due to leak the outcome of the criminal licence consultation toward the end of the month – perhaps when the last chance of remainers getting another extension is gone …..

      I don’t think it would be economic for Al Beeb and Crapita to recruit more stazi. Crapita are not very good in their job. For example they failed with their recruitment campaign for the British Army . With the predicted recession and jobs being at a premium I think there will be more Telly Tax payment defaulters and I understand that a lot of people are switching to Netflix which doesn’t require Telly Tax? Even less revenue for Al Beeb?
      Looking at Al Beeb’s website, their news reports at the weekend are not updated as frequently as they used to be. Symptomatic of a cut back in staff ?
      Perhaps maxincony can help us on that one ?

    Switched on Toady on Sunday this morning at about 0720. Within seconds the topic was racism. FFS.
    A few minutes later we had howls of anguish about the ‘very low’ (around 4%) level of BAME clergy in the Church of England. Apparently it should more nearly replicate the overall BAME population !!!!!
    The fact that large numbers of BAME are Hindus, Sikhs, or supporters of the Religion of Peace, and therefore rather unlikely to want to serve in the CofE did not occur to our intelligent, impartial, BBC producers and presenters.
    Doh !

      When will they get rid of the BAME label…they know full well that actually only Black and Muslims count. Asian – what does that mean? Minority ethnic – what does that mean – in essence BAME means anyone not indigenous white..it would actually includes Polish people (minority)….

      Marcus Rashford babbling on BBC uninterrupted and without any critical questioning this morning, quoting Joseph Rowntree foundation poverty facts – 45% in black and ‘brown’ people

      If we put aside the definition of poverty…African Blacks are 45% but not Caribbean (30%) and Indians are better than White…

      No discussion on why these ‘poverty’ levels are there – it isn’t down to racism…..look at how they calculate it…

    I’ve always considered myself quite a reasonable sort of chap, but it’s recently dawned on me that actually I’m a member of the “extremist far right”, as Mayor Khan likes to phrase it. I can tell you it came as quite a shock!
    You see, I happen to think Winston Churchill was a magnificent war time leader and I don’t want a bunch of semi literate anarchists messing about with his statue.
    Also, I’d rather like the Cenotaph to remain pristine, white (clearly racist undertones) and unblemished by gormless graffiti. I’m a strange one, aren’t I?
    And (it gets worse) I believe that if some people have a problem with any particular statue, monument or street name, the most sensible thing to do is to calmly and rationally discuss this with others and try to reach an amicable solution.
    I don’t really approve of vandalism, violence and wanton destruction.

    Clearly there’s no hope for me…

    Extinction Rebellion, a group of apparently very dim lefties, are insisting that we, the public, go along with their globalist ideas. It would more accurate to state the globalist ideas of those who pull their strings.

    Globalist ideas, from widely distrusted globalists, who do not have best interests of Europeans at the forefront of their concerns.

    What is the next great idea XR? All Jews must have a lobotomy to reduce their average IQ from 115 to 85?
    That will go some some way to “equalisation”.

    Where are the XR protestors complaining about East Asian supremacy? Those white “supremacists” are so stupid that they create a racist intelligence measurement so that the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans outperform Europeans!

    Western Science is so racist that not everybody wins a gold medal.
    Amazingly Chinese, Japanese, Jews and Koreans perform as the IQ tests predict, racists!
    3,000,000,000 lobotomies required to equalise the global intelligence. That will put a strain on the NHS!

    Why have the Darwin statues not been pulverized? Why have all places named Darwin not been renamed
    George_Floyd_better_looking_than_Paul_Newman_and_cleverer_than_Einstein_ville?

    Because Darwin is to blame. Well, Darwin and those racist finches, and those racist tortoises.
    Changing to become better adapted to their environment. How dare they! How dare they!
    Racist Europeans, they should have stood around naked near the North Pole in the Ices Ages, frozen to death and become extinct.

    XR should be welcoming Climate Change, Africans are suited to hot climates.
    Those racists in the Northern hemisphere will get heatstroke, their improved brains will fry in the sun, they will all
    die. Serves them right.

    That’s all for now XR, except to point out that I am just a man on the Carlisle omnibus.
    The experts can make your position look orders of magnitude more silly, juvenile, ill-informed and unscientific than I can.

      Good post, LCS, but XR are not globalists in the true sense of the word. They are anti-globalisation because globalisation involves fossil fuels, ships & aircraft carrying freight that factories have manufactured using energy (possibly from coal and oil and gas) and using mined metals and plastics made from oil.

      No, XR, are really ‘globalism-ists’ in that they want a return to an imagined ideal that never really existed. XR wish to impose that on everyone via Global power for themselves and only themselves.

      That is the complete opposite of globalisation which says, primarily, “Trade, not Aid” and “Let everyone have the dignity of education and work.” and “Let everyone have the opportunity to improve their lives and their housing through work, healthcare and education.”

    So…a police officer was right there actually dragging the man away…presumably because he was attacking the other man and it is the other man who is investigated…and why does it need investigation? Surely the officer on the spot was capable of deciding what was what?

    And why is the attack on this man not being ‘investigated’?

      They will feel that they are being excluded, and the reason being racism.

      But If it was racism, they would never have been allowed in the first place.

      And that is the problem. Successive governments have maintained high levels of immigration, legal and illegal, fully knowing that the people were opposed to it.

      No matter who we elected, and the promises they made, once in power, large scale immigration continued.

      Note that working class have suffered the most. Cockneys have been driven off the area they have lived for centuries. And yet they have not rioted, despite being treated like dirt. Worse then any group in the UK. Much worse. And yet, when it came to defending the symbols of our nation, it is these people who stood up to defend us. Despite the taunts of Racism and worse from the media.

      The person being punched appears to have white hands yet he is sporting braids in his hair. Some claim this is cultural appropriation and thus deserving of a slap. Surely, therefore, the police and the BBC should be praising the man in the baseball cap as a defender of African culture rather than investigating him.

    I have managed to more or less avoid any BBC news for the past couple of weeks. Sadly I could not do so this evening as Mrs D wanted to find out about shop re-opening. Why, I don’t know, as they aren’t yet reopening in Scotland and frankly it’s bad enough in the supermarket without adding further places being told where to stand and which direction to go whilst trying to avoid people who may or may not mind as little as I do. But I digress.

    Inevitably it came to yesterday’s protests. Clearly half of Twitter was lying, as were most of you lot. The only violence came from those “protecting” the statues, who included far right groups. (Boo, hiss.) None of the subsequent violence was worthy of mention, so clearly those of you who mentioned it were not being entirely truthful, now were you? But it segued straight from “far right” (boo, hiss) to the guy who wee’d against a monument. As far as I know there is no evidence as to which side he was on (other than that his back view is obviously racist) but we know what the BBC wants us to think.

    Then on to BLM protests in other cities. At that point the presenter’s voice took on an almost beatific tone as we were told of these purely peaceful protests and their knee-taking.

    Someone pass me a bucket.

    Strange that by Sunday afternoon , radio news had stopped shouting “far right thugs”.
    They usually bang on about something for 36 hours
    As I said before in other countries people really do die at demos, very often.
    Yet on Sunday it could have been a few white people who died.
    They didn’t, I wonder how many are in hospital a few were blooded.
    Yet despite their label, there were no gangs of white men trying to pick off and kill individual blacks.
    And it doesn’t seem to me that any blacks had come to kill
    Black gangs on the streets are tooled up with knives and guns but there was no proper evidence of that.
    Mind you if they did that would kill BLM.

    I honestly believe that the battle for keeping traditional English and British values and culture is already lost and all that can be done now is to submit to it and game the system for oneself (creating an “everyone for themselves” anarchy, where we all claim some form of victimhood).

    The BBC mount 24 hours a day 7 days a week relentless propaganda on their CBBC children’s channel praising George Floyd as a martyr, declaring it is right in the UK to march for Black Lives Matter because it is a “pandemic” and a “disease” just like Coronavirus.

    They declare that yes Winston Churchill was a racist, that Boris Johnson is a definite racist and Islamophobe, that Donald Trump is a definite racist and islamophobe, that immigration is good, that white people have white privilege, that children should celebrate Black History Month, that children should celebrate LGBTQ+ Month. Article upon article celebrates some woman, some black person, some LGBTQ+ person, some Muslim for their struggle against the racist white patriarchy while condemning white men who hold traditional British values as racists and hooligans.

    And this is only the tip of the iceberg because this thinking and this propaganda is now embedded in the Schools that teach the next generation, it was always a part of the University system but has grown so that it now dominates it, it has become embedded into our political system from local to regional to national level, and more and more statutory laws are being passed to ensure it is enshrined permanently.

    People thinking that Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party are going to preserve English and British values – think again. They are sellouts.

      Lead Story (CBBC Newsround, Sunday): London protests: More than 100 arrested at violent protests:
      Hundreds of protestors, many of whom were white men, football hooligans, and far-right activists, gathered to ‘defend’ monuments like the Cenotaph war memorial, and the statue of Winston Churchill … This after some people from an anti-racism protest last week had spray-painted a message saying “Churchill was a racist” … Saturday’s counter-protests quickly turned violent as the group attacked police officers, throwing things like bottles and fireworks and kicking and punching them…”

      Scroll down to the comments section and one child writes:
      Elie (17:00 14 Jun): “I don’t like protest’s they make me scared
      And the BBC Newsround team directly reply to her: “We’re sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time. It could really help to talk to someone about how you are feeling…

      Compare the above to how the BLM marches were celebrated by the BBC and described as absolutely necessary to combat a pandemic of racism. Yet the counter protests are described purposely to terrorize and scare children.

      I have to agree with you. The forces of anti Britishness and anti whiteness ( often emanating from white people themselves???) have great momentum. To stop them , let alone reverse them, would require a mobilisation of millions of ordinary Brits and preferably youngish Brits at that. But that takes organisation , money and leadership , all of which BLM Antifa have , but it took them years to build their organisations, but which the ordinary Brits don’t have. And of course the young Brits have been brainwashed by the likes of the BBCSM to at best taking a neutral position if not a pro BLM one.
      In a ten or twenty years time ordinary Brits will realise that they have become strangers in their own land , refugees without rights and with no where to go. Mind you the same will be true right across the West where capitalism has built a society of great affluence and generosity and which will cease to function.

    Its interesting that the BBC ‘virtue signallers’ are those that are paid the most – typically in the BBC that assumes all ‘talent’ is (always) left wing comedy and treats those it ‘entertains’ with a smirk and disdain. Those in the BBC media bubble can afford life’s luxuries and avoid paying taxes ‘because we can do that in the BBC’ through personal private contracts. external media companies and very high pay awards for BBC ‘senior’ staff. None of which want to pay a penny more in taxes. At the same time theses same ‘virtue signalers’ want higher taxes to pay for: NHS, Drugs (all kinds), Sex (re-Education, Sex transplants, HIV for all, electric cars for all, free telephones for all, free internet for all, free food for all, jobs for all (all at minimum wage) etc. So everything is free including travel. Except by air (polluting), oh and Ships (too smelly), and buses are OK because it keeps Sadiq Khan employed giving-out free bus passes to all and sundry until it goes bust. And TFL (London Underground and bus) has gone bust under Khan, it was heading that way well before the pandemic. Its just another bail-out by the UK taxpayers. One of many. But eventually the money will run out for all of us. We are the UK taxpayers. Highest tax burden in fifty years due to successive Labour governments (and some daft former Conservative clones) who were too timid to roll back the tax burden. Always the BBC clamoring for more money.

    Those self-styled victorian puritans of the liberal left, (BBC) see no point in paying ‘extra’ taxes themselves. Money is easy when they get given big pay rises all the time. And then one day, it just STOPS. They will do everything they can to avoid paying tax and they have benefited from political organs to bring about social change via Blair and Brown (which is always more Socialism). The trouble is Socialism does not work for long and is one step away from the ‘final solution’ when the self styles ‘Trotskyists’ in the BBC take control and general elections are never held again (or be like EU elections, you can vote but you cannot change anything).. So make a ‘riot’ and (with BBC help). So the poor riot and the rich get richer. Any excuse for a riot and the BBC are there as both ‘coach’ and ‘commentator’. Judge and Jury. More money will be chanted for (insert) due to (insert) because of (insert). The BBC re-cycles this stuff weekly.

    The BBC want more UK taxes, But they don’t want to pay any EXTRA themselves!!
    A recent BLOG exposes this LEFT WING LUNACY (hypocrisy…’) This week, Kieran Neild exposed the hypocrisy of those who say they would willingly pay more tax but refuse to do so when offered the chance. Instead, they insist we should all pay more despite already having a 50-year high tax burden. Members of the public are free to pay more tax, anyone can make a donation to HMRC but only 200 people between 2000 and 2017 have actually done so’.
    https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/want_to_pay_more_tax_be_our_guest

    And none of those 200 would be working for the BBC, not in its entire history has the BBC ever given us anything but trouble. It is trying (again) to stoke unrest in the masses who have a grievance and it will only end in a complete distrust in public media. And higher taxes, that will let in another Labour government. They won’t stop until the country is destroyed or completely surrenders to mob rule. They just want one more push… to push us all over the edge… Orwell was right about the BBC. Blair and Brown socialism policies are still with us and they are deeply entrenched. The left so far have full control over most of the media and thats the only fact worth reporting. So it won’t get reported, but we already know that fact is true.

    Absolute shame on this man
    Of all the images to emerge over these testing days I find this one of the most abhorrent.
    Please help identify him.

    [
    Absolute shame on this man, he is an idiot, ideally equipped to be a Conservative MP, doing the work for Labour.
    Correction, Tobiasina, as she must now be known, since she swapped dangly bits for the compact urethra/vagina,
    reproduction package.
    Coevally Tobiasina also had successful brain surgery to assist with her transformation.
    She can now only remember passing water in a seated position.

    This is what happened Tobiasina.
    British policeman Keith Palmer was murdered by an alien Muslim terrorist.
    His Common Purpose superior, Craig Mackey, hid during the attack.
    Craig Mackey hid under the skirt of Common Purpose Cressida Dick after the event.
    During the inquest Mackey hid under the skirt of the Common Purpose Coroner.
    Tobiasina, I am unable to discover when/where you expressed outrage at this murder.
    I am sure the BBBC moderator would you allow the opportunity to comment.
    A memorial was erected to honour the memory, and the courage, of Keith Palmer.

    Tobiasina, since your memory reconstruction has taken away your previous micturition experience
    I will explain the process; it is quite simple, even an MP can understand it.
    Bladder sends signal to brain “vessel full”.
    Brain sends message to penis “I am evaluating topography to establish best location for liquid release”.
    Brain sends message to legs “lamppost and dense fencing nearby present best opportunity for urination”.
    The individual concerned made every attempt to conceal the process.
    The individual concerned did NOT, repeat NOT, urinate on the memorial.
    Those determined to misrepresent this event and be “outraged” about it, are the enemies of Conservatism.

    Inequality commission

    Boris Johnson has announced he’s setting up a commission to look at all “aspects of inequality” in British society, including in education, healthcare and criminal justice. The PM also condemned “far-right thugs” involved in violent protests on Saturday. The actions of one man, Patrick Hutchinson, attracted great praise amid the ugly scenes – find out more. In the US, meanwhile, anger continues after the shooting dead of another African-American man during an arrest, this time in Atlanta.

    Meet one family that spans two generations of protest and hear from three black trans people on their difficult relationship with the current movement. And finally, what should you do with that racist Facebook friend – educate or delete?“

    The BBC have an obsession with American politics (although they don’t seem to like the US) whilst despite being incredibly pro-EU they are very slow and very selective when it comes to bringing us news about our closest european neighbours.

    BBC: Shops across England welcome back customers….

    Welcome? Really?

    ‘Retailers have had to introduce strict safety measures and the High Street experience will be very different.’

    Different? In a welcoming way?

    ‘face coverings become compulsory when travelling on public transport’

    So not much fun if you have to take a bus to the shops. More like a death ride on some plague cart.

    ‘Retailers are required to introduce plastic screens at the tills and floor markings to keep shoppers two metres (6ft 5ins) apart’

    ‘Other measures will include pleas not to touch items unless customers intend to purchase them and decontaminating shopping baskets after each use.’

    So it’s going to be one of those generally hostile and suspicious types of welcoming.

    ‘In most clothes shops, fitting rooms will be closed. Bookshops including Waterstones intend to put items in quarantine if browsed but not bought, while some jewellers are introducing ultraviolet boxes that can decontaminate items’

    Yep, we’re going to be treated like lepers.

    ‘The number of customers entering stores will be regulated…’

    In other words to enter a shop you’re going to have to first queue outside on the pavement until they deign it’s safe to let you through the door.

    “We expect this situation to last well into autumn and perhaps winter so we need to be thinking ahead for how things will work when the weather’s not so great”

    So with the nappy-brained Boris blundering about and failing to provide leadership it is going to be a long while before we can gayly exclaim:

    “I’m Free!”

          Likewise, I don’t recall having seen Jug Ears Lineker and chums rush to condemn the grooming gangs.

    Toady should be re-titled Race Baiting Time.
    Useless was in full-on mode this morning, getting an impartial, informed view from….errr…..David Lammy.

    Cue whingeing about black kids underperforming whities at school.
    But as usual no mention of white kids, especially working class boys, underperforming versus Indian ancestry kids. Inconvenient facts are easily discarded in BBC wokeland.
    Meanwhile Boris is creating an Equality Commission.
    It will be open house for every micro-grievance monkey and race baiter. An avalanche of one-sidedness.
    Will they hear from indigenous white people who are sick and tired of being told to think and who still have pride in our country ?
    Will there be any sense of balance or proportionality ?

    I’m not holding my breath.

    I am not making any judgement . It’s up to everybody to make
    their minds up about it. I have visited the Domenican Republic
    in the Caribbean on three occasions . It is a terrific place to
    visit for a winter holiday. I have found the people very friendly.
    Around 14% of the population are white. And yet I would say
    the internet and TV presentation in regards to diversity
    in the make up of presentation so far as the indigenous
    and ethnic minorities in the country is about the same as the BBC,
    where around 75-80% of the demographics of the UK is still
    indigenous. Of course excluding the big cities and London in particular. Is it just a coincidence that nearly every day on the
    BBC website the headline picture is of a BAME face? Does this
    matter? Is one being paranoid and racist for even noticing it?
    Or maybe the Domenican Republic are showing far too many
    whities on their TV.

    I switched on Radio 4 Extra this morning on the offchance that there might be something to pass the early hours.

    I heard the usual announcement that ‘for understandable reasons’ the schedules would be different for the forseeable future, (I don’t understand why). Then I was told that there would be two and a half hours of the omnibus edition of Lord Peter Wimsey. Well that should be harmless.

    The programme starts and we hear that this is part three of six, a strange omnibus edition. Part four doesn’t follow, just some old lady bleating for the Nth time this week that her wartime love went back to the USA and didn’t come back and then straight into a title-less horse racing detective story.

    Seeing as Radio 4 Extra is just repeats one would think that, a) it has a vast catalogue of potential material and, b) a keen 14 year-old could do a better job of patching it together. (They weren’t very good in ‘normal’ times, playing the wrong item and giving away the plot quite often.

    The BBC has too many pies.

      Jim
      When it first started up it wasnt bad . There even programmes aimed at chaps …..
      ……… but then it went wrong – the funniest thing was a feature called the ‘ comedy hour ‘ which of course was anything but –

      – with a bunch of hackney based snowflake virtue signallers who sincerely thought their stuff was ‘ funny ‘ …. the off switch came like a friend …

        The ‘Comedy Club’ introduced by the most unfunny Arfur Smiff and voiced over by a cackle of female voices repeating the title over and over.

        Then the first vignette starts and it’s something with that insufferable woke leftist twat Marcus Brigstocke.

        OFF…..BUTTON…. SMASHED…..

      Jim, I listened a lot to 4extra and this mantra ‘for the foreseeable future’ and ‘understandable’ reasons is being trotted out every time the continuity announcement changes.

      I don’t get it either, well I do actually. They’ve been using it as an excuse to drop a lot of the older comedy and replace it with up to date stuff broadcast in the last few weeks on R4 (note scum BBC don’t do comedy) so it’s filling the time with the usual woke, unfunny fat Lesbians or virtue signalling crap.

    Twitter watch

    The PM ( formerly referred to as ‘bojo ‘ ) apparently went and visited Westfield Shopping Centre on Sunday in prep for the shops opening .

    If it was the one in Stratford E15 he is welcome to it – the third world will be back in force today and the newly ‘ empowered ‘ black children will know that plod will ‘ take a knee ‘ then run away . Avoid .

      Fed, are you expecting a sudden rise in black on black knife crime in Londonistan today/this week?

      There must be scores to settles I’d imagine amongst the gangs, now the long days of lockdown are easing, and as you say give they can act with no fear of plod, there could be to coin a phrase, rivers of blood..

        West – the killings have been carrying on at an average of about 1 a week – obviously not reported much because its coloured on coloured –

        But all the ingredients are there for street disorder and killings . Some minor plod ‘encounter ‘may well get the petrol bombs going and a bit of shopping in Currys once the security doors are off . Part of ‘our’ culture ….

      This is the Voice of the Revolution, your favourite opposition radio station, calling to you out there who are outraged, indignant, offended and grievance-filled: Radio 4.
      We present TOADY, our programme for Tough, Outspoken, Anarchists , Destroyers and Yobs.
      We present J Webb, interviewing our favourite arrogant, aggressive, superior and hostile race-baiter, David Lammy MP, with his list of 11764 demands, all to be implemented immediately.
      Now, of course, we know we have a democracy, and we know Labour is not in power, so the demands are worth zilch.
      Never mind, we feel the person who DOES have power is eminently malleable, and open to any of our suggestions. So to hear Mr Lammy, turn up the volume of your radio to VERY LOUD now.

    Not satisfied with BLM. Apparently ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ too.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/33ab8fbd-792f-44ee-85de-5dd3894f60bf

    Yes, this is on today’s front page of The BBC website.

    However, I did a little fact checking on the BLM website, we can all relax. I quote…

    …”We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.”

    I think you’re covered Trans black people (sorry, totally unsure of the pronoun). But a great thank you to The BBC. This was a question on millions of minds at this time.
