The free TV licence For the over 75s ends on 1 August . If someone is on ‘pension credit ‘ through low income – they will continue to be free of the TV licence if over 75 . But over a million people who are entitled to pension credit have not applied and claimed it . I found out about this on a leading financial website aimed at saving people money …..

Jon Sopel
North America Editor, BBC News
on Sopel is the BBC’s North America editor. Joining the Beeb in 1983, he rose through the ranks to become one of the best-known faces across their flagship programmes. Appointed to his current role in 2015, he is familiar to many for standing outside the White House reporting on the ups and downs of the Trump presidency. In this in-depth interview, Jon argues that the BBC’s “fair and balanced” coverage is more important than ever amidst growing claims of ‘fake news’, discusses Trump’s ability to surprise even him on a near-daily basis, and shares his excitement at the launch of ‘Americast’, his new podcast co-hosted with colleague and friend Emily Maitlis for what is set to be a fascinating and unprecedented election.

This series appears to be mostly a nifty side earner for current and ex bbc staff to write their own bios.
Anyone who takes it seriously probably also still pays for the Graun, or has a copy left on their desk.
Did like the poofing error, and use of bbc “quotes”.
The Begum decision by the judges demonstrates yet again the chasm that exists between the elite and the rest of us. This chasm grows ever wider and is about much much more than just Brexit. The elite are still intent on ignoring the views of ordinary Brits and will use any means at their disposal, the law, the police, the MSM, BLM mobs , the education blob, to try and force their Wokism on us and suppress our views. How long this can continue for is an open question but the longer it does continue the greater the bang will be when the volcano erupts.

What happens when the world’s population shrinks?
Falling fertility rates could mean most countries see their populations shrink by the end of the century. The world will have to begin to reckon with the consequences of a smaller, older population. For lower-income countries, a falling birth-rate could spell better living standards. A smaller number of children each get a bigger piece of the pie, whether that’s health or education.
But in countries where fertility rates have already been falling for years, shrinking further could cause problems. These countries will have to work out how to care for a growing older population, with fewer younger people to work as carers and to pay into the system.

Rachel Schraer
Health reporter, BBC News
‘Analysis’ that kicks off with #couldfiles is not ‘what happens’. It’s a BBC wild guess.
No mention of La Manche Shuttle du Bateaus Pneumatique bringing over high NI-contributing doctors and engineers by the hundred daily?
No mention of Africa’s population expected to exceed 2 billion?
Silly me, they are Europeans that haven’t got here yet!
Jonathan Freedland writes for the Guardian so obviously has his own program on Radio 4 called The Long View. My radio turned onto his program and I heard the immortal BBC/Guardian logic: Amazon and Netflix are successful thus they should fund the Guardian reading lovey theatres who make plays for Guardian reading loveys.
Oddly, not only did his guests agree with him but none mentioned the £3.5 billion the BBC gets for making programs for Guardian loveys. So why not share that around?
The BBC today carry a video report on the front page of their website, in the “Must see” section, with the headline “Black women are killed by police too”, and no further qualification.
The BBC is a UK organisation funded by UK viewers. One therefore might suppose that, unless otherwise indicated, reports refer to events in the UK. In fact, over the last 20 years only one woman has been killed by the police in the UK: Ann Sanderson in 2007, and she was white.
Opening up the report, it is clear that it refers rather to the position in the USA, where the histories both of police violence and race relations are entirely different to those in the UK.
In view of the already dangerous and absurd conflation between the situation in the USA and the UK, with implications for serious public disorder here, one would have thought that the BBC would tread more carefully and responsibly. What are they up to – or is it just incompetence?
DickMart, I’m afraid you’re being far too generous if you think the BBC is just incompetent.
They’re devious and dangerous.
As you so rightly observe the conflation between the UK and US is absurd. They fully know this. They’ve been stirring the pot since the death of George Floyd. It’s as though they were waiting for something like this and have grabbed this opportunity with both hands. Both BBC2 and BBC4 have given us hours of programmes all geared to provoking a reaction. “The Windrush Scandal”, there was a lovely piece about the US police killing an “unarmed black man” that dates back decades, oh and of course, the ubiquitous pieces about Stephen Lawrence and the slave trade….
The BBC isn’t a grown up organisation behaving like impartial journalists. They’re deliberately inciting people using the sort of poisonous propaganda that the KGB would have been proud of.
When your state broadcaster deliberately acts against the state it owes its very existence to then what you have are 21st century fifth columnists.
They’re treacherous, dangerous and despicable.
Hi Dickmart, it is wilful, it is done on purpose, and it runs through the entirety of the BBC. It is often so blatant it is insulting to the intelligence.
That nothing is done about it at an official level speaks volumes. Some politicians have spoken out at times but only when it addresses them directly but they soon let it go (e.g. Rees-Mogg).
The indoctrination occurred in the universities, it spread into the schools, and from there into society. This has been occurring for many many years. It has taken over the BBC as it has taken over other institutes.
There are many news media for which I no longer have a paid subscription, but do stay abreast of if only to see what the clown come out with next.
The Economist is one.

Interestingly they also serve up articles on BLM and hagiographies on Dems like Cory Booker, who makes Don Lemon seem sane.
Oh dear, the Begum woman has won her appeal in the High Court to challenge her citizenship in Britain. Ergo – that’s her here for ever then, regardless of the outcome.
It is a test case. So all the ISIS brides, children and fighters will be coming over. The majority already have (no mention of these) but the Begum case is for those with joint citizenships. Others without any link to Britain can always claim refugee status when they arrive on the armada currently crossing the channel from the continent.
The woke agenda has spread like a cancer into British Institutions and that includes into the British Law Courts.
Such a shame they weren’t treated as targets when they were in country thus preventing lawyers from getting on the ‘justice ‘ gravy train . Maybe the predators will get them next time ….
From the ‘judgement’ (LORD JUSTICE FLAUX )
121. Notwithstanding the national security concerns about Ms Begum, I have reached the firm conclusion that given that the only way in which she can have a fair and effective appeal is to be permitted to come into the United Kingdom to pursue her appeal, fairness and justice must, on the facts of this case, outweigh the national security concerns …
We aren’t the only ones appalled.

Video direct link to Ed Davy’s sneering question to JHB (6m40s)
“Are you being paid by Number 10, Julia?
Because you’re doing just what they want,”
#1 He said there has to be an INDEPENDENT inquiry into the handling of Covid
#2 He then said “There has been a complete failure of this government”
… Em that indicates Davey doesn’t really want a proper inquiry
he’s already decided the narrative
She was pointing out that many Covid decisions don’t come from government they come from inside the NHS
or in some the gov is driven by outside forces like Sage
I listened to the question the repulsive Davey asked the PM on Wednesday . I didn’t hear the PM promise an independent inquiry now – or any inquiry now – and he said – in essence – the state is a bit busy now dealing with it . I agree on that . Surely it would be better to be planning for worst case and increasing resourcing , testing , PPE , training – than playing inquiry games and ‘lessons will be learnt – which in the circumstances of this pandemic is happening as we go .
The next bad bug could be far worse is so many ways and that should be planned for as well …..
Davey is so desperate to further is personal career that he will do and say anything …. bring back the swinson – and prepare for government .
By the way – has anything been said about the Davey allegation against Mr Farage …?

I think we on here already know the answer sadly.
The HS cannot , short of declaring martial law, overrule a judge. The HS can only appeal the decision to the Supreme Court which is packed with Wokists and we all know how they will find. I’m afraid Blair took the power off the HS and indeed the Government ad a whole, when he cleverly and slyly set up the SC and packed with his placement and women. Only by getting rid of the SC or replacing its members with ones who better reflect the views of the country can we get decisions like this one overturned.

Mad cat lady has had her brain retuned and…. no… still nuts.
Mixed bag in comments, but no one buying the Graun as it is a woke, SJW, PC, cougar sex mad heap of laughable tripe seems not to have sunk into through the tinfoil hair plugs.
Presumably cat lady is a bit slow minded if she doesn’t realise why propaganda rags are failing – the BBC would be gone too if the financing wasn’t forced from those who have to pay for it .
She got the last line wrong, typical Guardian sub-edit error, it should read: Honest journalism has never been more important
The BBC seem to have special teams that kick into action whenever a story they want to promote breaks. This is the case for Shamima Begum. They have written several articles rejoicing her imminent return to the UK to fight for her citizenship rights. They have written “explainer” articles showing her before she became radicalized looking like an ordinary vulnerable girl. Articles are being “updated” as their expert propaganda writers are being told to polish up the articles.
“The ruling means the government must now find a way to allow the 20-year-old, who is currently in Camp Roj in northern Syria, to appear in court in London despite repeatedly saying it would not assist removing her from Syria. ”
why must they? the judges said she has the right to appeal from england, they didnt say the government has to send a chauffeur.

‘Jofra Archer excluded from second England-West Indies Test’

‘England fast bowler Jofra Archer was excluded from the second Test against West Indies after breaching the bio-secure protocols.’
Ooooh, that sounds a bit technicial
‘The 25-year-old went to his Brighton home between the first Test in Southampton and second in Manchester.’
Simple as that, so why didn’t they say so?
Did Dominic Cumming not simply ‘breach the bio secure protocol’?
BBC latest fabricated news: the BBC in conjunction with local activists have created the following story:

ps: also notice the “featured” news articles on the right that appears in every BBC news story webpage.
• “Black women are killed by police too”
• “Who is Shamima Begum & how do you lose your citizenship”
Notice how the images are designed to generate pathos.
Just looking the BBC News Website. I know its not scientific but of the 49 clearly visible faces on the BBC News front page 31 are BME ……THATS NEARLY 70% ……

Twitter watch
Lots of comment about the BBC dumping its last journalist – andrew neill . But word is that he is in talks with the BBC about new ‘ opportunities’ .
My money is on a travel programme where he gets on trains and goes from one place to another .., thats not been done before has it ?
Soooooo…you walk into Vogue House and as you do the person on reception immediately says ‘Oy!…round the back mate…use the loading bay.’….if you’re black.
Is that how it really works there and who is actually being racially profiled here?
Apparently it is as the Black editor of Vogue states that he was racially profiled by his own security guard and told to go to the loading bay.
The BBC, naturally, are keen to report this…as a ‘must see’ story on its frontpage…lol…
Edward Enninful: British Vogue editor ‘racially profiled’ at work
Was he really? The BBC only has his word for it, nothing from the security guard who is being, quite possibly, maligned and slandered over the national media.
This is the smiling face of security on reception at Vogue House in 2015…
Do you think it likely that a security guard on reception at such a location would automatically say to a black person, or any person, ‘Go to the loading bay’ based purely on appearances?
Unlikely isn’t it? He would ask ‘Can I help you?’
What’s the real story? The BBC is giving us a very one-sided and dubious one……why report it in such a way and with such a high profile when they don’t know the facts?
Did the guard ask for ID, did he ask what the man wanted, what was the man wearing, was he carrying a box, did he just swan in and walk straight past reception without identifying himself? Did he refuse to give his ID as many do….’Do you know who I am?’ syndrome.
How long had the guard worked there, had he ever seen the man before and known who he was?…pretty clear not.
Might suggest it is the guard being racially profiled and defamed nationally as a racist by a black man in a position of authority….and the BBC is happy to let this happen to him wthout any effort to investigate properly….let’s hear from the guard and see the security camera footage.
The BLM would be proud….a good ol’ lynching’.
This story could have been written as:
New boss fires long serving security guard at reception for failing to recognise him
New boss Edward Enninful who got his job through racial profiling (positive discrimination – allegedly) felt insulted by the failure of the receptionist to recognize him on his first day at work and hence his failure to show him due respect. “It’s because I’m black the new boss roared and immediately fired the receptionist for racism”.
Twato…jesus. campaign team to support return of shamima begum
And her pal ex Met Mr Babu…made me laugh he said she was groomed it is our fault…then said she went and was married to men in late 20’s it’s child abuse….er sorry not in Islam. Begum Broadcasting Campaign at work.
The some woman from PHE shropshire slagging off test and trace…because they won’t give her data…Clearly never heard of data privacy… BBC looking for the sound bite which she kindly provided…to knock Govt.
BBC is a really depressing organisation…sooner defunded the bettter..
Are they related ? Third world tribal thing ?
Agree, one can judge if we don’t know the other side
Like was EE carrying a couple of parcels so looked like a delivery guy ?
BTW we don’t know the ethnicity of the guard.
“the security guard, who works for a third party contractor, was dismissed from the site immediately”
Surely you’d just say “actually I’m the boss of one of the magazines upstairs”
The way he went on Twitter straight away makes it look like bullying.
It’s not like he said this is the third time the guy did this to me.
I’d like to know the security guard’s side.
It does sound a little ‘Do you Know who I am’ which the unfortunate guard clearly didn’t. Everyone seems to want their 15 mins victim of racism fame.
My typo
Agree, one can’t judge if we don’t know the other side
Cannon un-fired BBC are now running with
“BBC News – Nick Cannon to keep Masked Singer job after apologising for anti-Semitic comments ”
AFAIK he’s still out of his other job
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53428314
@Pugnacious brought Cannon up yesterday, but then he confused me by mixing this new story up with a 2015 case from Toronto.
I now understand was that his point is that there is a thread of strong anti-white racism within BLM
Later @Luton Reject brought up the BBC article
with its headline
“US TV host fired by MTV owner in anti-Semitism row”
focusing on one aspect o his controversial new Public Enemy interview
The reader doesn’t find out that Cannon said anything at all about white people until the end of the article.
where is just quietly says
he “suggested white people were less than black people”.
Apparently the BBC decided we didn’t need to know that he called white people “savages”, that he also said “the only way that they can act is evil” and that whites “have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive”.
i can’t see what edit games the BBC have been playing with the original article
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53415314
\\ So Nick Cannon apologized to the Jewish community,
but not the white community
because it’s socially acceptable to call white people “savages” and a “little less.” //
Cannon’s apology to Jews took 4 tweets
First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.
I want to express my gratitude to the Rabbis, community leaders and institutions who reached out to me to help enlighten me, instead of chastising me.
I want to assure my Jewish friends, new and old, that this is only the beginning of my education—I am committed to deeper connections, more profound learning and strengthening the bond between our two cultures today and every day going forward.

Phew… he’s apologised.
So it all goes away, right?
And Jon &squad can retweet their Variety selections again.
Oh…..blimey…who knew? How awkward.
The BBC has tried to blitz ‘Social Media’ and rein in its success, especially in the field of providing news to the masses. It has run a relentless campaign against social media and the companies that run it….Facebook in particular [which it blames for Brexit and Trump].
The BBC tells us we just can’t trust what we hear on social media…it’s all fake news in the post-truth era…..only the BBC can be trusted…..imagine if Coca Cola ran its ads like that…..’All other brands of drink will poison you….only Coke can be trusted…only drink Coke!’. There’d be lawsuits left, right and centre but the BBC gets away with it as it tries to take down its rivals with lies and slander.
So, yeah…this is a bit awkward….but not in the least unexpected or a surprise in anyway whatsoever….
Hallelujah! At last, a BBC boss has admitted its stars make a mockery of being impartial with their use of ‘toxic’ social media, writes MICK HUME
‘They have become ‘add- icted’ to Twitter, that most ‘toxic’ of social media platforms, and seem to care more about their tweets ‘going viral’ than telling the truth.
No, that isn’t a description of irresponsible, smartphone-obsessed teenagers.
It is an indictment of senior BBC journalists, delivered in explosive fashion to a parliamentary committee this week by none other than the Corporation’s own director of editorial policy and standards, David Jordan.’

The only way to stop this invasion is set up a reception camp and speedy deportation to point of origin . But of course they burn their papers and lie , naturally, so where do we deport them to and who will have them? The option of refusing rescue , whilst we would support it, the judges et al and the rest of the liberal elite won’t wear it, it will never happen, unless and until we vote a British Salvini into power and keep him in power for at least ten years. It will take at least that long to overcome the swamp resistance as we have seen in the USA.
The reception camp should be offshore
eg sub contracted to Burkina Faso or some island in Siberia etc.
Redundant oil rig or decommissioned RN ship.
This is clearly aided and abetted by politicians and the police while the mainstream media actively ignore it.
It would not be surprising if politicians and the police actively enabled and supported the Muslim gangs to sexually abuse, rape, and traffic those tens of thousands of white English girls in the Midlands and the North.
The same politicians and the police must have also played an enabling and supporting role in the setting up of all those Asian sweat shops that employ immigrants and illegals.

The Labour Party and the BBC have been pushing at HMG to release the report into possible Russian interference in the 2019 General Election. Some of us suspected that the Government reluctance might be because they were protecting someone or some group or other.
And thus it does appear to be – the new Conservative Government were apparently trying to spare the blushes of the Labour Party and their main supporter, the BBC.
‘A long-awaited report into alleged Russian interference in the 2017 general election and the 2016 Brexit vote is to be published next week”
What did they do?

Headline news now…..
”Almost certain’ Russians sought to interfere in 2019 UK election – Raab’
…but during the election when it was proven that the information came from Russian sources, the BBC barely covered it….odd huh? The BBC not at all concerned about Russian interference actually during an election…the BBC themselves feeding us Labour’s ‘scoop’ and giving it a very loud prominence…the BBC doing the Kremlin’s work….useful idiots eh?.
Curious how they were soooo concerned about Russia interfering in the US elections [the BBC spending years falsely telling us Trump was a Russian stooge] but no such concern about our own elections and very real interference.
No doubt this will all be twisted in the coming days and weeks into the Russians actually trying to help Boris and there’ll be a Brexit angle slipped in there for good measure….the legend is being forged into fact as we watch.
Bet there’s an argument out there somewhere along these liines….the information was so obviously from a Russian source that it was clearly an attempt to undermine Corbyn by associating him with Russia….coz….Putin wants Brexit to happen so he’s happy to sacrifice the incompetent useless idiot that is Corbyn for his new allies in the Tory Party.
pugnazious
It makes you wonder if they, ‘the Reds’ have a finger in Al Beeb ?

In 1950s teenage sexual vocabulary I think the “REDS” have more than just “a finger” in Al Beeb. In fact I think they have gone “all the way” and Al Beeb are in the throes of passion at being sodomized.

Pug – does make one wonder if the current ‘Tory?’ Government will ever give the BBC the payback it deserves about it’s coverage of Brexit – the traitor Parliament – the election coverage – as well as the stuff that has happened this year so far .
At least the starting point will be a rapid decriminalisation …then perhaps an inquiry about the future of the BBC in the run up to the Charter Review ….but trying to find a fair non bubble ‘group ‘ to fairly examine the stuff which turns up here are with out friends in other sites will be an achievement ….
Sometimes I think even the ‘mildly right ‘ elements of the bubble have no idea what the BBC is putting out all the time ….or thar OFCOM is not Independant …..
I really think this is who Boris listens to.
White face good? Banking cert that clowns are racist.

The picture says it all. These are the faces of Blair’s place men.
Until these clowns are replaced Britain can never be British.
8pm ITV More racebaiting
The promo pic has an Antifa flag
Followed at 9pm by ITV 2 hour drama about Stephen Lawrence
Has it been turned into a musical yet ?
Who was murdered more recently? (1) Stephen Lawrence, or (2) Kris Donald?
And why do we hear so much more about (1) than (2)? Racism is rife in the UK – anti-White racism by the MSM, especially the BBC.
Stew, make no mistake, what we are seeing now is the functional equivalent of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution or Pol Pot’s creation of Democratic Kampuchea.
Perhaps the ethnics should look at themselves and who the killers and victims are – in London anyway …. using Lawrence from 25 plus years ago is like talking about ship safety using the titanic as the example …
Shouldn’t they be ‘social distancing’ from that London bus?
One never knows, it might ‘explode’.
Victoria, Empress of India, a bit ‘racist’ that, 390, Three Hundred and Ninety years since English colonists culturally appropriated popcorn. How insensitive can you get?
I am so triggered.

The bbc is one big apology for a broadcaster.
Hi Guest Who, thanks for this.
Dr Charlotte Riley is just one of an army of indoctrinated young white feminist activists straight out of completing their feminist doctorates who lectures others, especially those of the lower / less “educated” classes.
From her Staff Webpage:
Dr Charlotte Lydia Riley
University of Southampton
Lecturer in Twentieth-Century British History.
And Equality & Diversity Officer.
I am a feminist historian of twentieth century Britain, with particular focus on the Labour Party, decolonization, and overseas aid and development programmes. More broadly, I am interested in the culture of British politics and society in the twentieth century.
I teach across a variety of topics in modern British social, cultural and political history, including women’s history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the history and memory of the Second World War, the 1960s as a British cultural moment, and the long and tangled history of the Labour Party. I would be interested in supervising research students across these topics and my research interests more widely. I also convene our first year core course, World Histories: Contact, Conflict and Culture from Ancient to Modern.
https://www.southampton.ac.uk/history/about/staff/clr1y14.page
Translation:
“I specialise in the indoctrination and brainwashing of young people in matters ranging from overseas aid and development programmes to the culture of British politics and society in the twentieth century, to a variety of topics in modern British social, cultural and political history”
David Parton, who created one of the petitions, said he was “shocked” by the absence of the feelings toward minority communities.
“Only the complete removal of the statue will show the council is serious about racism.
“Clive will fall, it’s not a matter of if, but when. It beggars belief we have to argue this when his legacy resulted in millions of deaths. It’s quite demoralising, this decision.”
The article from 2016 by David Parton.
It is amazing what an Oxford University education does to the young, impressionable, privileged mind – in this case David Parton’s mind.
ps: He now seems to be a “Communications Executive” in London and an outspoken LGBTQ and Woke activist
David Parton
David joined the Investment Association (IA), the investment management trade body, as a Communications Executive in the summer of 2018. Part of his motivation to begin a career at the IA was the IA’s work to mark Pride in London 2018: through its ‘Bringing Our Whole Selves to Work’ guide to the LGBTQ experience in asset management, and the incorporation of the rainbow flag into the IA’s logo. As an openly gay person throughout all of his adult life, the IA’s positive steps to demonstrate its inclusiveness to LGBTQ people, whether that’s employees, members or interview candidates, left a really positive mark.
David hopes to help strengthen LGBTQ networks within the IA, and utilise the IA’s nexus position within the asset management industry to support sector-wide initiatives to make LGBTQ people feel more comfortable, welcome and celebrated at work.
David graduated with a Law degree from the University of Oxford, before then working in communications and media relations for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE). At the LGBCE, he changed the Commission’s processes to remove references to gendered pronouns in external communications, unless a recipient’s gender was explicitly known or provided.
Whilst at Oxford, he was an active LGBTQ advocate, serving as the LGBTQ Officer for his College, where he secured gender neutral toilets on campus, and volunteered as the Publicity Officer for the Oxford University LGBTQ Society.

BTW there is a fallacy in the #BiasedBBC headline
“Two petitions calling for the statue’s removal had 23,000 signatures between them.”
The two are not mutually exclusive
A lot of people will have signed both
so you can’t added the two together
and claim 23,000 signatures
23,000 is nothing. They should be ignored.
If it wasn’t for “repressively heterosexual” communities, the human race would die out. In reality, he wants to replace the white race with foreign migrants, to whom he subconsciously believes that he is superior to. If you spend your life campaigning for minorities, you must think them to be inferior and so need a helping hand.
“The Government needs to investigate and prosecute all those responsible.”
Treason, treason, treason – mainly from the FCO.

In the words of John F. Kennedy we really do need to “replace a few enemies with a few friends.” I’m not exactly sure what he meant by that but if we are now experiencing his intended outcome then he was mistaken in the extreme.
Lefty … he was referring to removing unfriendly people and replacing them with friendly people, usually with bullets
Dobyns
Well , maybe but either way, from my perspective at least, the President made a serous mistake and we are reaping the harvest.
We can only hope and pray that President Trump will act to save our culture.
Lefty, that’s how Realpolitik worked in the American mindset back then, c.f. Mohammed Mossadeq, Jacobo Árbenz, Rafael Trujillo, Ngô Đình Diệm

When JFK was assassinated in 1963 I was a 23 year old social idealist and of course was horrified by his death.
However, since that time I have had time to reflect and learn.
Today In 2020 I am an 80 year old Englishman who believes that
there STILL is an English Culture which should be preserved and to which all LEGAL immigrants should adapt.
Lefty – I hope you don’t ‘creak’ too much . I was 3 when JFK was allegedly assassinated – i remember where I was – in my pram .. I agree that outside the bubble type stuff there is a very deep identity which can withstand the sort of metro attacks currently heightened by a failed political movement rebadged with a hysterical race badge imported from another country . It will pass .
Lefty any tips for reaching 80?
Fedup2
Tips for reaching 80?
I don’t know but I would advise (a) being watchful when crossing the road (b) don’t make the fatal mistake of dying at 79 and (c) pray that you have been issued with some good strong genetic material. The rest is down to luck.
Lefty – thank you – I like the tip about 79 ….. …I currently use a 300cc scooter and know that someone will try to kill me at least once a week ….. so the stats are tricky . I believe I have a Guardian Angel and thank him when I remember ….
Maybe he was referring to Nixon – or his dad .i ve always thought that jfks gift was recognising really good speech writers and letting them rip ..
Having read the way the EU ‘crisis ‘ management failed when the Italians asked it for help at the start of the pandemic ( remember ) the last thing the UK should do is be in any way linked the the EU . Let’s stick with NATO but be more discerning about who the members are – and join the Americans in making sure the krauts and frogs pay their way .

I absolutely refuse to live in fear whatever the dictates of BIG BROTHER.
Just a comparison…
About a year (or so) ago, Carl Benjamin, a well know right wing blogger, found himself in a Twitter spat with Labour big gob, Jess Phillips. After quite a bit of toing and froing, Carl said something (a tad unfortunate) along the line of…”I wouldn’t even rape you.” Not a pleasant thing to say, but…
There followed months of manufactured indignation and hostile media scrutiny, particularly from our state broadcaster. I remember him being interviewed by sour faced, Victoria Derbyshire and the way she spoke to him and the disapproving expression she had, you’d have thought he was a child rapist. Though, come to think of it on the Beeb…
Then this evening, on the mind numbingly puerile, One Show, there were two typical BBC airheads interviewing Miriam Margolyes. You remember this charmer?
Just a few weeks ago she said she had hope Boris would die of Covid.
Now, is it just me? Don’t you think that such a foul and distasteful remark might require some sort of response? Boris isn’t just our prime minister, his partner has also just given birth to a son. I think it’s an unforgivably disgusting thing to say.
Clearly the BBC are rather more tolerant than I am. Miriam has just had a nice cosy chat with a couple of gormless, insipid twerps .
Mind you, with views like Miriam’s,
I’m surprised she’s not been given her own show…
This BBC?

BBC urges are seldom healthy.
Guest Who
ALL BBC urges are lethal to the white race and they know it.
Killing 207,384 unborn persons in 2019 can’t help either.
Hell of a country where killing 200 thousand babies is – okay …

This is the same lady who, on broadcast British TV, was permitted to refer to President Trump as, and I quote, “A piece of shit.” OK that’s free speech BUT would I be permitted to iterate a similar sentiment about Saint Nelson Mandela or Allah and have NO screams of NAZI and RACIST? Of course not. The MSM need to reset its agenda or risk a British civil war.
Lefty
Do you really see a potential civil war ? I ask not as a covert criticism but whether the ingredients are there … or .. indeed ..what the modern ingredients for that level of civil disorder are ?
Much rejoicing at the beeb as one of their favourite terrorists is allowed back into the country.
Complete with very sympathetic analysis by their Home Affairs correspondent.
“Shamima Begum can return to UK to fight for citizenship, Court of Appeal rules”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53427197
Regarding the pathetic, woke, wet blanket, judges decision to allow Shamima Begun back into the country.
What about article 2 of the Human Rights Act?
Which even the EHRC describe as follows
‘Public authorities should also consider your right to life when making decisions that might put you in danger or that affect your life expectancy.’
Clearly seditious, treacherous female Extremist Muslims have more rights than ordinary patriotic taxpaying British people, including the right to make judges ignore article 2.
So no surprises whose side the BBC will be on.
Sluff
Does the “Right to Life” extend to the “Just Conceived?
Not if you have a white skin.
…. and in America, certainly not if you’re Black.
There are more black abortions than live births

Touche!
Is a bit rich that even parliament has been running remotely but an enemy of the state needs to be bought back for her ‘ legal effing team ‘ ….
That didn’t take long….the report that Russia tried to interfere in the 2019 election by feeding Labour documents has vanished off the front page to be replaced by this…..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53436525
‘Curious timing of Russian meddling claims’
The BBC already trying to muddy the waters…read on and it gets worse as Kuenssberg says…..
‘Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has not claimed today that Russian influences stole the documents.
But he has accused them of “amplifying” the claims online, condemning these attempts at interfering in the UK’s democratic process as “completely unacceptable”.
It’s important to say too that Labour has also slammed the Russians’ apparent role. ‘
So nothing to do with Russia really…just some secret docs just happened to appear somewhere on the web that someone, somewhere, in Russia saw and decided that’ll be useful for Comrade Corbyn! How helpful…..and good to know Labour slams Russia’s ‘apparent’ role…however slight.
Hang on though….its not Labour who are in cahoots with Russia…it’s the Tories as Kuenssberg spins her own narrative out of thin air whilst downplaying the ral story of Russia trying to get Corbyn elected….
‘Is it politically convenient for ministers to acknowledge the threat themselves just before others may make embarrassing claims about it?
Labour politicians have frequently accused the Conservatives of ignoring Russian interference because of their relationship with Tory Party donors.
Did it suit the government to publicise the claims that material used by Labour was also manipulated by Russia? ‘
Oh yeah….those ‘Russian’ Tory donors…ermmmm…British citizens. Funny how rapist immigrants in Germany become instant ‘Germans’ in BBC reports [so as to keep up the pretence thatmassive waves of immigrants are a good thing] but donors to the Tories remain sinister ‘Russians’ however long they’ve been here or their citizenship status.
Kuenssberg spins and spins….
‘So, it matters that this is the first time a UK minister has made an explicit link to Russia, in one way or another, trying to meddle in elections in the UK.
But the timing of that statement creates its own intrigue too.’
Does she forget that Nicky Morgan on the Today show linked it to Russia…one way or another…knowing that Russia was accused by Reddit?….
‘On Friday evening, Reddit confirmed it has banned 61 accounts; including that of a user called Gregoriator, who it believes was part of a Russian information operation known as Secondary Infektion.’
Is this or is it not a government minisster making an explicit link to Russia?….think it is…..
‘Nicky Morgan, the culture secretary, said it was “extremely serious” that the leaked documents could be linked to a Russian disinformation campaign. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Saturday, Morgan said: “I understand from what was being put on that website, those who seem to know about these things say that it seems to have all the hallmarks of some form of interference.’
Harry Cole’s thread about Labour using Russian obtained data in 2019 election
Pug
Bearing in mind that russia’s aim in life has been to break up NATO and then pick off Eastern states for its own interests – the only surprise is that it didnt impact the election more .
The klemlin boys must have drunk themselves silly at the thought of corbyn mcdonnell running the show with abbot as home sec and wrong bailey at the FCO – jess phillips running defence and barry gardner in charge of transport … i cant think of a single front bencher remotely capable .,,,
Fed…yeah….no need for tanks and missiles when the 5th column wreaks its own destruction…mostly due to that incompetence than allegiance to Mother Russia…..having said that the only thing holding the Tories together in any respectable shape is Cummings…if he goes it will all fall rapidly apart…one suspects…..I mean…Matt Hancock! What an abysmal failure as Health Minister at every turn.
Pug – what was really needed – and still is – is someone who can do detail . Detail is what matters when there is a clear enemy – covid- but Cummings has been out of it for key times . I cant think of a cabinet minister with the brain to do it – gove ? Sunak ? Not sure …
Where’s Enoch when we need him?
Dob
Yes – powell had that forensic analysis to see the problem – get the options and then deliver – but his failing was communicating- classics to impress peers – but not the voters ..,
Al Beeb…..,….
“Summers could become ‘ too hot for humans’.
There’s the operative word again – “could”.
Laura K absolutely not using tinfoil hat inference to try and cast doubt on any inconvenient actual interference?
Al Beeb – Begum to return .
Do we have bent judges in the UK that side with the enemy of the people? Where is our ‘tough’ Home Secretary?
Taffman
The ‘bent’ is ‘ interpretation’ . The supreme court will refuse to accept that the use of remote technology is sufficient to give the ISIS terrorist a fair trial – despite its regular use .
Thr threat to the wellbeing of this 20 year old woman will be discounted as will the threat to national security posed by her supporters …
Maybe the judges of this so called supreme blair court will be told thar this will be the end of their careers and time to take the pension .
Meanwhile the chinese are plotting a suitable end for Lady Hale in HK..
