Start the Week 24 August 2020

The BBC is to broadcast a documentary about Carl Beech on Monday night . Mr Beech is the criminal who made False allegationS of a ‘ high Level paedophile ring “ which was so eagerly taken up by the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party – Tom Watson . Apparently the BBC didn’t mention Mr Watson’s shameful part in the debacle until those involved demanded the truth be included. The BBC does like to look after its friends …….

      If scientists complain to the BBC about Climate Science Censorship. Will Lord Hall learn from his mistakes. Or will, as I imagine, it get worse.

      Will the complaint be dealt by the BBC’s best scientific experts. A panel lead by Greta Thunberg, and made up of little girls with honorary degrees in Atmospheric Physics from the Universities of East Anglia, Bristol, Exeter, Reading and the University College London.

    I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from someone claiming to be from the bbc.
    They say that my direct debit has expired and I won’t be licensed in the future.
    I know that this is a scam but I thought, lets humour them with a return email and see what happens.

    I came to an agreement that I would set up a direct debit as long as none of my money would be given to the bbc in any way shape or form.

    I also stipulated that I wanted my license fee to be spent on a documentary called ‘why is Antarctica white, the racist continent’.

    My Indian email friend has not replied.

          There used to be a bloke right at the front in the audience, wearing a dinner jacket.

          He used to spend the whole of his time there, conducting the band, waving his arms and generally acting the giddy goat!

          We loved him, and his adopted name ‘Gink’, became the norm whenever we all watched the Proms. His mates uses to bob up and down during the final anthems, and a jolly time was had by all!

          What right does the bloody awful BBC have to stop all this pleasant British behaviour, just to appease a few BLM-lovers somewhere near Oldham?

        Richard,
        Ever since the latest BBC controversy about Last Night of the Proms broke I have been focused on how to extract the maximum anti BBC mileage out it . I realised that the Wokists and BLM would , in their usual warped way , think that the songs were about them ie celebrating slavery , oppression etc etc and that was why the BBC wanted to ban it. (I know that Rule Britannia was written when the British Empire was in its formative stages but the BLM idiots won’t ) . It completely passed me by that the singing of Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia could be taken by Remainer Central as celebrating the UK freeing itself from the yoke of Brussels.
        Anyway the idea of playing the music but not allowing it to be sung is good enough to piss off another few hundred thousand or more LF payers to the point where they refused to fund the foul corporation.

        Luckily, I don’t subscribe to Twatter, as it’s a sort of gormless yawn, invented for some morons to be monosyllabic, rather like all the ‘lines’ of shrieks in Eastenders, but I still cannot work out how to read these clips…

        Is the stuff in smaller print the original twott, and the larger print an answer to the twott?

        I have to admit that a twott on KN O’brien’s show stuff automatically becomes an off-switcher, as he’s an ignorant a******e, but there must be others who agree, therefore becoming ‘Supertwotters’!

        I know a few people who actually like Twotter, and my apologies to chums here who use it, maybe to call their mothers or other chums, but when a National Broadcaster, paid for by Pensioner’s taxes, gets away with biased dross every day, is a matter for concern, whether you pay their wages or not!

          Scrob at time of posting the “Is James O’Brien about to get sacked ?” soap opera was just beginning
          So his Tweet was quoting part 2 where LBC were saying they had deleted a clip which he looked bullying
          (That is the bottom block of the tweet)
          .. whilst in the top part he gives the excuse.. it was the editing, the staff !

          The only thing was in the next episode O’Brien deleted his tweet
          … which is why NOW my post only has a ghost of his tweet and doesn’t contain the LBC tweet he was quoting.

          Meanwhile LBC had responded to him with an apology
          which they then deleted .
          The backstory is that O’Brien has massive form on blaming parents.
          Cos he told everyone to believe all abuse claimers
          ..and then it turned out he was championing the fraud Carl Beech.

      The thing BBC reporters don’t take into account, from the safety of their studios, is that criminals in the US are often armed, and quite willing to use their guns, as in this case.

      Even after being tasered, this guy manages to get to his car and shoot the two cops. Which might also explain their use of what to us might look like excessive force in cases of someone resisting arrest, such as Floyd.

      They can’t take chances.

      Note to crims: if you don’t want to be shot, just comply.

    Some players in the English Rugby Union Premier League are receiving death threats after not taking the knee and being called out for it by the BBC and other mainstream media.

    The English Rugby Union Premier League has instituted BLM take the knee demonstrations for all matches and the BBC and others have been taking a close look and calling out all those players not taking the knee (although they are wearing the Say No To Racism shirts etc).

    The BBC does NOT condemn those death threats but produced an article quoting a black player condemning the death threats but then saying supporting BLM is very important:

        Some extracts from Lord Halls final speech reported in tomorrow’s Telegraph. You have to admire his brass neck!

        Britain needs the BBC more than ever to promote the country’s “voice and values” after Brexit, Lord Hall will claim on Monday.

        The BBC needs more taxpayers’ money to combat a “second pandemic” of fake news spread by Russia and China, he will claim.

        “So let’s not forget that, in the BBC, the UK has a remarkable asset: the pre-eminent provider to the world of facts you can trust.”

        The BBC will be needed more than ever to ‘bring the country together’

        Lord Hall urged the government to back the BBC as a diplomatic weapon as the UK seeks new trade after Brexit.

        Cue Bono

        He openly admits to pedaling propaganda then. But lies that it is pro UK propaganda when in fact we all know that they hate our country.

      The label seems to come from the Korean government cos the pastor is a conservative who lead big political rallies against them.
      The BBC say the church has “conspiracy theories” about the current president being a puppet of China.

      You can get a rather pleasant processed cheese with added port wine in Wisconsin.

      Senora O’Blene’s aunt used to send us some years ago, and it was called Wispride!

      I just thought that you might like to know that, because you’d never find out from the awful BBC!

        Scrobie, I’m sure you can. Probably the only area in the USA that knows how to make proper cheese. It is, after all, a farming area – the start of the great Mid-West which is actually the great North but, like the BBC, Americans don’t do geography. I seem to recall the AFL/NFL Team for the area is known as the Big Cheeses and the supporters wear appropriate hats. Didn’t learn that from the BBC but from Channel 4 when they covered AFL/NFL football.

        Mind you, you can buy Port Wine Derby at Tesco and very pleasant it is, too, as is the herb infused Derby cheese. It is great to be able to buy British. 🙂

            Scrobie, Tesco deli cheeses are really good. Snuffy has a tendency to lurk, along with vast numbers of the north Kent population, around the short dated ‘Still Fresh’ section of supermarkets to see what might be available in the ‘that is a tasty drop, Gromit’ variety. Tesco do a Red Leicester and Cream Cheese Garlic spiral which is, afaik, unique to them. It is wonderful.

            While on the subject, I note that Iceland do an excellent Wensleydale & Cranberry and Double Gloucester with Onion and Chives, both currently discounted to 2x200g for £3. It could be due to the competition from Aldi & Lidl who have the same cheeses for 1p less as their normal, regular pricing.

            Apologies to the cheese haters and diversion haters on Biased BBC but I would point out that all these cheeses, even from the German-owned supermarkets, proudly bear the Union Flag. Made from British milk and in Britain and displaying the Union Flag.

            BBC, PLEASE NOTE!

    The ‘Conservative’ government is going to have to be forced into taking action as well.
    That wire sailor, with his weasel words, will have to show where his allegiance lies. There are no neutrals in a war, when your nation is under attack.

    Would we had a Donald Trump. Hope he wipes the floor with the burners and the looters and the destroyers, and all the criminal ‘unarmed’ black men, much beloved by CNN and beeb, and their political allies in the US.

    TOADY Watch #2 – Mind your language #2

    Mishal is back and it is Ladies Day (again!) on TOADY with Martha the Bee Lady, also presenting. Mishal covers the rioting in Kenosha in an item after the 7 a.m. News. She interviews someone (again, apologies for no name) who knows the town and State and police procedures there.

    Mishal, in her questioning of this man, implies that Jacob Blake was merely walking when he was shot seven times in the back by Police for no reason. Oooops, that is naughty! It is a deliberate and gross distortion of the small amount of information that we know from a short video clip from a bystander’s mobile phone.

    The contributor got to correct Mishal and stated that Blake was reaching into his car. He also made the point – implying a rush to judgement on the part of the BBC – that the situation needed a full investigation to get at the truth.

    Cannot remember now if also in the 7.25/7.30 a.m. Sport segment with the other Sport brother, twin Rob, the BBC were short on mentioning all the facts.

    Over the past few days this week the disparate way the scum media has dealt with two similar stories has become glaringly apparant.

    The Muslim mudering Mosque nutter in NZ has been widely condemned – as he should be. There is zero sympathy and stories of how cushy his prison cell will be.

    On the other hand are two mudering Muslim executioners from ISIS there is no condemnation, and plenty of sympathy regading the conditions at the Colorado Supermax prison where they are likely to be held, with stories of how the death penalty would be preferable.

    People need to wake up to the fact that our universities are pumping out hard left Fascist radicals into the media. People who HATE White British and who adore Muslims more than any other group.

    This is little different to Hitlers vision – just because they change the target doesn’t actually make then any substantively different to the Nazis.
    The HATE for the Jews is still there, the love of Islam is still there and the policies of Fascism are most certainly still there.
    The sad thing is that the majority of people don’t know what those policies are because they have been hidden from them by the media.

      People who hate ‘whites’ appear to be ‘whites’ as well. Bear in mind it is a BBC Picture Editor choosing but the Kenosha news item on the BBC w-s is interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53897641 for its photographs.

      ‘Whites’ at the forefront of the rioting, looting and arson.

      Interesting thought about this: in the ‘Black’ community, they would know, for example, George Floyd’s reputation. Therefore, after that killing, it will not be easy for BLM activists and the Fascist groups to get out ‘black’ protestors so they have to turn to the ‘whites’ among their number to lead the protests and drive things forward.

    Opinion piece lifted straight from The Telegraph –

    ‘The BBC’s decision to dispense with the words to Land of Hope and Glory and Rule, Britannia, and to proceed instead with a half-hearted orchestral arrangement for the Last Night of the Proms, is as extraordinary as it is wrong-headed. The Corporation says it is reinventing the Last Night, respecting the traditions and spirit of the event, while adapting to the circumstances of the time. Most of the public will see this as the broadcaster caving to pressure from far-Left activists who have long loathed this uniquely British tradition.

    The idea that this was a change forced on the BBC by the Covid pandemic does not bear scrutiny. Reports initially suggested that the Covid-compliant orchestra might be too small to perform the songs, or that there would not be enough singers present to give a suitably rousing rendition. Both of these problems, however, would be imminently surmountable if there was a will to do so.

    Instead, this is the BBC using the pretext of Covid to do what many in the Corporation have long been itching to do: remove elements from the Last Night that they deem to be embarrassingly jingoistic and laudatory of imperialism. In an all too typical cultural cringe before those who dislike our country and despair at our history, they appear to have accepted without question the argument that Land of Hope and Glory and Rule, Britannia are problematic, and must be stripped of their words to save liberal blushes.

    But these songs are not outrageous relics of an imperial past. Yes, they are products of their time, but they are also much-loved traditions that reflect and inspire a very British form of patriotism. Who, in their right mind, could possibly think that “Britons never shall be slaves” is meant to imply that other people should be? Or that anyone stirred by Land of Hope and Glory wishes to recreate an empire that was dismantled over half a century ago, and which for most Britons is now a distant memory?

    The fact that the BBC clearly does not see this is reflective of how disastrously out of touch it has become from a country that is more than capable of grasping such nuances. The Director-General, Tony Hall, must intervene immediately. If the Last Night of the Proms goes ahead denuded of its most important traditions, it will be an error that many British people will never forgive‘

    Plenty of allies for us …..

    I did actually watch a bit of Beeb last night, The Unbelievable Story of Carl Beech.
    I reckon the headline says it all, however; Unbelievable…

    Certain sections of the media, particularly our dear old BBC, were feeding on this claptrap like ravenous hyenas on a buffalo’s carcass. And tragically so were the police.

    From the get go this story seemed insane. Ted Heath was supposed to have been abusing boys whilst also being PM. Where did he find the time and how could he have avoided his own security?

    This poisonous nonsense destroyed reputations and ruined lives. Some of the Beeb’s favourites were involved in promoting these lies. Tom Watson (not mentioned last night) and the utterly repulsive shock jock and one time Newsnight anchor, James O’Brien, were cheerleading this tripe. O’Brien kept at it on a daily basis. It was a tissue of lies from start to finish. He’s still spouting bile and (to LBC’s shame) he’s still in his job. Incredible…

    Part of the trouble is that lefties so loathe our country that they’re willing to believe anything that shows us in a bad light.
    If the BBC had been rather more concerned with unearthing paedophile rings they didn’t need to listen to an obvious fantasist and they didn’t need to look at parliament.

    They should have started looking rather closer to home…

    TOADY Watch #4 – Mind your language #4

    During the brief exposure I had to the TOADY Prog this a.m. there was an item about new businesses started during the UK Lockdown. It was stated that many of these businesses will have been started by women. There was concern about the burden of debt and repayment of loans, in other words that the women were really incapable of managing a business under the challenging conditions of the worldwide Pandemic and they should have an extra helping hand.

    Oh dear, BBC. In you desire to promote ‘wimmin’ you have effectively undermined them all and portrayed them all as weak and feeble and incapable.

    Compare and contrast the following:

    (1) [William Coke for Mail On line, 22/8/2020]

    “The entire board of Britain’s largest Muslim charity are to resign today after anti-Semitic posts by one of its directors – who had been brought in to replace a disgraced trustee – were uncovered.

    Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), based in Birmingham, acknowledged last night that the Facebook posts were ‘inappropriate and unacceptable’, and its board of trustees would stand down and not seek election to a new board today.

    The charity had already been rocked by scandal after director Heshmat Khalifa was found to have called Israelis the ‘grandchildren of monkeys and pigs’ and Egypt’s president a ‘pimp son of the Jews’. When Mr Khalifa’s Facebook posts were revealed by The Times in July, IRW said it was ‘appalled by the hateful comments’, and confirmed he had resigned.

    … … …”

    (2) My search of the BBC’s website for Islamic Relief Worldwide, and/or IRW, turned up nothing more recent than a March 2019 story about disaster relief (for Cyclone Idai) and most of the other references are much older than that.

    The Beech Documentary

    Judge Henriques on got a bit part in the 60 minute documentary – which was never long enough – to scatter gun – with the intention of spreading the blame .

    The Judge got to say it was an over reaction after Saville but no more was said about that . The judge said plod was incompetent – personally – I’d say corrupt as well – because the investigative process was was subborned by so called expert detectives more concerned about their careers than saying

    ‘ hang on a minute – this creature is lying ‘

    Knowing too well that by expressing such a view against a PC tide of anti establishment poison careers would be washed away . But the senior command got away with it – as well as the lefty politicians like Tom Watson – who only got a bit part mention . Mr Watson is about to become Lord Watson .

    Do we actually live in a Socialist state ?
    We don’t have an open Socialist government
    but we are in the grip of a metroliberal establishment that acts like a socialist cabal
    Its philosophy is rooted in Marxism

    In his June 4th 1945 speech Churchill predicted life in such a socialist state
    How a kind of Gestapo would patrol to make sure we don’t question socialist dogma.

    UK column have discussion video about the speech


    But I will go farther. I declare you from the bottom of my heart that no socialist system can be established without a political police. Many of those who are advocating socialism or voting Socialist today will be horrified at this idea. That is because they are short-sighted; that is because they do not see where their theories are leading them.

    No Socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo *
    …no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance
    .. and this would nip in the bud opinion as it formed.

    It would stop criticism as it reared its head, and it would gather all the power to the Supreme Party and the party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above
    their vast bureaucracies of civil servants, no longer servants and no longer civil.

    (see how Boris’s civil servants actively undermine as if their real allegiance is to the Marxist state)

    * That Gestapo seems to be the Social Media corps, that ban people and hide posts, and their trolls that intimidate people who dare o post against Marxist dogma. As well as media corps like the BBC that practice gatekeeping.

    The Hong Kong Guy who got Covid twice
    The overall message is don’t panic

    Dr Chris Smith is on the Vine Show
    When you get over a normal virus there are two advantages
    #1 Harm : You are no longer vulnerable to it
    #2 No spread : Your resistance mean your body is not generating lots of the bug

    In this one case when the guy was not #1 Harmed, it did not hit him hard
    but More bugs were being generated in his body so the #2 No spread failed
    ..and worse than that he could have been a silent spreader (if the mandatory airport test hadn’t caught him)

    Smith said that this is common with the types of viruses where you don’t get immunity.. that your second case tends to be mild.

    He also mentioned that this case it surely a re-infection , but what very occasionally happens is people have a reflare , where their virus count has been low for weeks, but a hidden residual suddenly flares up.
    In that case a person might have tested Positive for antibodies
    but not have had the infection test so assumed they were Covid negative , when in fact there were not.
