      @POS Interesting that Belfield cut off a caller last night and ended the show *
      Caller “Hey their church cross tory I want to talk about how YouTube closed down 15,000 account over it”
      Belfield “And that is why we won’t be talking about it, Youtube have their rules about doing speculating and until more info comes out about this guy I won’t be doing an item, I can only peaking when I am quoting the police or court
      we have to play by YouTube’s rules ”
      He explains

      * Belfield is inclined to such dramaqueen behaviour

        Thanks for that. He was very clear about what he does to ensure his channel doesn’t get pulled but I agree he was overly dramatic which may have been frustrated pettiness on his part. He could have just cut the person off, explained to the viewers what he had done, and then continued with the live show.

    A little piece of light relief from a genius-
    ‘THE NEWS’ – from the Two Ronnies
    “And finally…It is with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few local businesses.
    A local Bra Shop has gone bust.
    A mining Company has gone under.
    A manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation.
    A Dog Kennels has had to call in the retrievers.
    An origami book company has folded.
    An Aerial Installation company has called in the receivers.
    A Key Company has gone into lockdown.
    A watch-smith has wound down and called time.
    An Iceland store has had its assets frozen.
    A shoe factory has been ‘soled’ and employees given the boot.
    The Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn’t ketchup with orders.
    The Tarmac company has reached the end of the road.
    The bread company has run out of dough.
    The laundrette has been taken to the cleaners.
    And finally the AA Recovery Service are on their way to a breakdown.
    That’s all from me and……” You know the rest.

    Apparently the French Police are hunting down up to 80 people who posted messages of support for the piece of filth who beheaded the French teacher.

    What now needs to happen is that every last one of these animals are immediately thrown out of France and returned to the shit-holes that they came from.

    They have no right to remain in the Country they hate and are trying to destroy. If this happens, I hope it becomes a trend right across Europe.

    Let them fester in their barbaric and mediaeval origins.

    This innocent teachers blood is on the hands of the Merkel crowd who kick-started this horror.

    When will they realise that Oil and Water don’t mix?

        Not until Europe shifts away from allowing Islam to flourish Fakenewswatcher, but with perhaps 20 million of the b…..rs already in residence in Europe, that task will be very difficult. None should be allowed to hold positions of authority or any degree of power that might adversly affect the lives of the indigenous peoples. Just look at the site ‘Gates of Vienna,’ to see the heinous crimes the immigrants have inflicted on the countries they have entered, legally but many illegally and yet little has been done to counteract this disgusting behaviour. Apart from the Chancellor of Germany, nobody else has invited these Arabs to come into Europe-pressure from the EU for years has determined the so called equal distribution of such. Britain is now swamped with those that follow the teachings of Islam-they will reproduce at a rate 2.5 times that of white folk-not difficult to see which way the wind is blowing.

        There is an exemption for chauffeur-driven cars, but Downing Street said it had advised all its ministers to wear coverings..
        The picture was first published on the Daily Mirror website .
        The BBC understands Mr Hancock had been wearing a mask on the journey, but removed it as his car approached the department.

        So story is minister probably removed his mask in the last few seconds before getting out of the car,
        no law came close to being broken.

      Or better still, read her autobiography. And yes, she was quite an incredible woman, but not in the way they want you to think.

      She wasn’t even a nurse. This is a longstanding historical lie. She followed the troops flogging things like food and drink.

      When I was at school we had a hot dog van that used to pull up (actually in the school yard) and we kids would congregate for a healthy meal of beef burger with lashings of ketchup.

      No one ever suggested this bloke was in charge of the domestic science department, but that’s what they’re suggesting with Seacole.

      There’s a brilliant site on You Tube, History Debunked, with historian Simon Webb. He’s covered Mary’s “nursing” in considerable detail.
      And the truth is…

      It’s utter crap.

    Tim Davie seems to have his work cut out for him…his Head of Diversity seems to be as racist as those she claims to be cleansing the BBC of….if her latest book is anything to go on….whites live lives based on oppressing others…we prosper at their expense…

    ‘The Power of Privilege’

    ‘The death of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests have made clear to everyone the vicious reality of racism that persists today.

    Many of those privileged enough to be distanced from racism are now having to come to terms with the fact that they continue to prosper at the detriment of others. Having spent the last four years researching, writing, and speaking about the benefits of diversity for society, June Sarpong is no stranger to educating and challenging those that have been enjoying the benefits of a system steeped in systemic racism without realising its true cost.

    In The Power of Privilege, June will empower those fortunate enough not to be ‘otherised’ by mainstream Western society to become effective allies against racism, both by understanding the roots of their privilege and the systemic societal inequities that perpetuates it. The Power of Privilege offers practical steps and action-driven solutions so that those who have been afforded privilege can begin undoing the limiting beliefs held by society, and help build a fairer future for all.’

    Then of course there’s one of those useful allies, Ellie Harrison, who thinks a time of reckoning is due….she thinks ‘the countryside’ is racist….what she means of course is all the white peopple living there….a massive insult and malign stereotype but she’ll probably get rewarded by the BBC for her recognition of white privilege, guilt and supremacy..

    ‘The British countryside is racist and white people need to acknowledge they have benefited from the past, according to Countryfile presenter Ellie Harrison.

    The BBC broadcaster said that while rural areas may not be more bigoted than other parts of the country, there is ‘work to do’ to stamp out prejudice.

    Defending the nature programme’s decision in the summer to show a film exploring racism in the countryside, the 42-year-old said a ‘time of reckoning’ was approaching following the death of George Floyd and the ‘crescendo’ of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    White people need to do more to understand what black people have gone through, she said.
    ‘It’s our individual work to wrap our heads around history,’ she writes.

    ‘The work also includes recognising the pain of the past and the lingering ambient racism we don’t get to feel.

    ‘It means acknowledging that we have benefited from the past, the behaviours of many generations ago.

    ‘It means noticing that for white people, skin colour is not the cause of hardship and suffering, even if our lives haven’t been easy.

    ‘It’s seeing a problem, even if it isn’t a problem to us; asking what the grievances are and listening to what the solution is.

    ‘It’s not just protesting about cruelty but being motivated by fairness and making room.

    ‘And far beyond policing, it’s about economic equality too.”

    So Davie said he’d stop them using social media if his staff made cmments that were clearly political and biased…..test case one right there then….test case two…his own head of diversity.

    Test case three…whomsoever commissioned David Hare to write a programme, ‘Roadkill’, that was clearly designed to smear and malign Boris Johnson and the Tories….he is well known for hating Boris….and Brexit. We have a completely untrustworthy and heartless Tory with lots of random children and a desire to sell off the NHS….the BBC must have jumped for joy when they saw the script….though it might well just be one of their ‘news’ [lol] scripts recycled.

    Launching a highly political, negative and prejudiced piece against a sitting PM, in the middle of a crisis, must rank pretty high in the records of BBC lows.

    I doubt Davie will do anything at all to change the narratives flooding out of the BBC…the left-wing prejudices are deeply, deeply embedded.

    There will be some well rehearsed shrieking from those two media harpies, Laura and Beth. Boris (as per usual) will bluster and bluff and then we’ll find ourselves in another, utterly pointless, imprisonment, probably for a month.

    And then, with her usual one-upmanship, that gruesome, vindictive little gnome, Krankie, will let it be known that Scotland is going into a 6 month lockdown, people will only be fed on bread and water and if they set foot outdoors it’s off to the salt mines.

      It has become apparent to me that any murders by Islamists is ONLY classed as ‘terrorist related’ when they find evidence they did it under the instruction of someone like ISIS. Otherwise it is a ‘lone wolf’ with mental issues.
      If you are white on the other hand – any kind of attack against someone of different colour is classed as terrorism. Just search for ‘Finsbury Park terrorist’ and see our 2 friends The Guardian and The BBC right at the top of the list.

      I suspect the GPs have nobody much to refer and are under pressure. I will be very wary of going and will tell them so. Hospitals are the main vectors of infection. Aerolised spread via the liftshafts and stairwells.

        There is a history of Prostate cancer in my family . My elder brother told me to get tested regularly . So last year I asked my GP for a blood test and got refused as one had been done in 2017 and was ‘ok’ … so I appealed to the NHS … and got refused again . I was told to try again a year later ……

        So last week I had a ‘telephone interview ‘ which I had to wait 2 weeks for – with some quack I’d never met – who basically tried to bounce me again .

        He accused me of being ‘adversarial ‘ and closed the call – after grudgingly authorising a blood test …..

        A day later I read in a national paper that NE London health authority – one of the worst in the country across all areas – has a 21 week backlog ( worst in country )for blood sample analysis because they stopped Back in March …..

        So Dave – another side of a coin …..

        Good luck with your hospital visit – wear gloves …wash often

          Meanwhile the GP’s are all sat in the staff room drinking tea. FACT. I spoke to 2 nurses in different surgeries, and while they are doing blood tests and treating boils, while covered head to toe in protective gear, the doctors are doing bugger all except make a few phone calls to patients when they feel like it, so the nurses are naturally pissed off at this.

        No, the situation is rapidly changing. I don’t know where in the country you are but if your hospital is running semi normal services then your sensible GP is probably trying to get you assessed before you become too unwell. If it is not done now then the goalposts may move and new delays. We are not trying to “massage the figures”, we are trying to safely see and treat as many people as possible in the midst of a global pandemic. Do you think a few claps make up for the fact that there are people I know will die because of the past few months?
        I am a hospital consultant. We managed to see 2 week wait urgent referrals throughout, but are trying desperately to see and sort our other referrals before a second wave.

    Not directly BBC but one for them and their fellow LeftMob travellers to…ahem……..bury.

    On ITV we hear that South Africa has built a new razor wire border to keep out Zimbabweans.

    Wow. A country trying to protect its border. How racist and extremist is that.

    The Zimbabweans are fleeing as they have for several years because of hyperinflation, no jobs, and no food. All due to the disastrous policies of their one party state, black majority rule, anti-white government.

    But don’t expect the BBC to cover that. Far, far too embarrassing and illustrative of the abject failure of their philosophy.

    First proof of Dementia at the BBC.

    On Newshite they cover the Manchester non lockdown.
    The Labour council leader points out that Bolton has had local lockdown measures for weeks yet the infection rate has gone up.

    Just 3 minutes later Kirsty goes on to cover the imminent Welsh lockdown with a Welsh labour spokesperson who is given a free rein to justify the policy.

    Yet Kirsty manages to fail to remember and reference what she has just been told about Bolton.

    With such short term memory loss I strongly advise some Hospital dementia tests. If of course it is still possible to access such services.

    The BBC tell us that John Ferris, a professor from Calgary (yes that’s Calgary in Canada!) has published a book basically rubbishing the importance of Bletchley Park’s contribution during the war.

    This is front page featured news, so very obviously important to the BBC!

    Bletchley Park’s contribution to WW2 ‘over-rated’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54604895

    So what do we know about John Ferris?

    A quick look on ratemyprofessors.com shows some interesting feedback on the Prof from past students….

    “I took HTST 300, the practice of history with him and for such an important class, I felt robbed of my education. He taught us nothing useful and is extremely vain. He put absolutely no care into providing clear instructions for the assignment and when COVID-19 he went AWOL for 3 weeks. He then sent us to lecture links that expired after a week!

    “Very interesting prof to say the least. He obviously enjoys teaching but is very hard to follow. His lectures are terrible and discusses the most random things that have nothing to do with the class. He is very random and it almost seems like he is reading from a Wikipedia page. Honestly the lectures were a waste of time.”

    The Prof also questions the part Bletchley Park played in the Argentine invasion…

    “The book provides new details on the controversial sinking of the Argentine warship Belgrano and over whether enough was done to warn of the invasion.”

    I wonder if the prof thinks we should also have warned Hitler of the Normandy landings to prevent German deaths?

    So this BBC article is probably the first in a series trying to take apart the actions of the UK in WW2. and the role of the UK in general What a surprise!

    Doing what the BBC does best, rubbishing their own Country by chipping away at it’s history and achievements.

    Expected but just disgusting as usual!

      Digg -This is very interesting because it says a lot about

      in Canada and the 184th ranked in the World, So we are
      talking about an English championship side writes a damning
      revelation that Alan Turing and his fellow code breakers were
      not as clever at breaking the German codes as we thought.
      So all the information we gave to the Russians about the
      German troop positions at the major land battle of the second world war the battle of Kursk during July to August 1943 were
      not so important.Informing General Montgomery exactly
      what Rommel was going to do at El Alamein. The winning of
      the war against the U Boats in the Atlantic which at one
      time looked like that we were going to be starved to death.
      The knowledge we knew about exactly what the Germans
      were going to do in Normandy. In fact if “Monty” had
      followed all that Bletchley had told him, the Falaise gap would
      of been closed and the war may well of ended 6 months
      earlier than it did with thousands of more lives saved.
      This” revelation” from the BBC shows us once again that
      our main media broadcaster is almost telling us that it
      despises the country it serves. An enemy of the state ? You tell me that.

          Yes of course there were plenty of Poles etc. But were

          search ethnic composers from history , ethnic artists etc
          and of course this is a good thing,but codebreakers? Yes I
          know the story and saw the film about the brilliant
          Indian mathematician Ramanujan. BUT I reiterate were
          there any black codebreakers at Bletchley? And if there
          were not . Isn’t a good reason for the BBC in their present
          state of mind about all things black to give prominence to
          a book with a negative attitude to Bletchley? Yes I have also seen that great film about the black women mathematicians “Hidden figures” But this is about Bletchley.

      There is always a dilemma when handling good ‘intelligence’. Acting on it might provide a one-time gain but that might alert the enemy that their security has been compromised.

      That can mean not acting on the intelligence unless there is a plausible alternative reason for the action. If the enemy has circumstantial evidence that his communications are being intercepted then he will change his methods and then there will be no intelligence to act on at all.

    One can’t help but look askew at the Times front page this morning: ‘UK thwarted Russian plot to disrupt Olympics. British cybersecurity experts stopped hacking attack on 2020 games’ – what 2020 Olympics were those, we ask? Pity our cloak and dagger chaps missed the apparently rather successful Chinese-originated virus that completely scuppered the Tokyo games. While we’ve been busy bear-baiting perhaps we ought to have been chasing the dragon?

    Most of our media have very easily come to accept Chinese-style social controls here in the UK. The only game in town for our compliant journos has been to catch out our lockdown-keen elite when they err in their behaviour. However, we can have little sympathy for dear old Gary Lineker getting caught off side. The Daily Star splashes with: ‘Spot the tool. Gary Lineker made a right wally of himself after slating people who don’t wear masks in shops… then forgetting to put one on’ – can we look forward to endless action replays of the supermarket CCTV and some ex-player pundit analysis on the BBC’s Match of the Day? So, do tell us Gary, is Video Assisted Refereeing catching every minor infraction of the rules spoiling the game for you?

    The Times tells us: ‘One-hour covid test at airports set to re-open travel. Passengers will undergo a one-hour test before flying out of Britain…’ – heaven forbid we prioritise testing of people coming in!

    The ‘i’ admits the inevitable: ‘UK heading to lockdown by “back door”‘ – meanwhile just about every UK title is now ready with the self-same six week free home delivery offer, making our press look somewhat as though they are a cartel – with various small print caveats. The Mirror: ‘Free home delivery for 6 weeks’, The Mail: ‘Get the Mail delivered for free when you take a newspaper subscription*… *terms apply’ The Express: ‘Free home delivery. Payment for newspaper still required’ The Star appears a little more friendly with their 6 week offer: ‘Your favourite paper direct to your door’ – so we’re all lockdown ready then – apart from the poor saps who have to do the actual delivering.

    Bubble blonde headed Channel 4 social justice warrior and sometime news presenter Cathy Newman has a gig in the Telegraph talking about celeb duos: ‘The making of a power couple’ – I shan’t be going out of my way to read the details but if the pics on the front page of the Telegraph are anything to go by she’s comparing the Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor pairing with Schofield and Willoughby – preposterous and.. oh, where to begin?

    The ‘i’ suggests: ‘Air pollution increases dementia risk’ – which, if true, could explain a lot.

    I think the BBBC* having realised that Starmer is pretty much useless as their left-wing figurehead have decided to “adopt” Burnam.

    I wonder what would happen if Boris said…,”OK Mr Mayor, we won’t impose the tier 3 thing if you take personal responsibility for the outcome and promise to resign if the figures go through the roof”

Keir Starmer has not covered himself in glory since becoming leader and his idea of a total lockdown for two or three weeks for England has gone down like a lead balloon in communities that are relatively free of Covid-19. There are also said to be rumblings of discontent on the two extremes of the Labour Party.

        Brissles,
        Hand shaking is more of a signal of mutuality rather than superiority. So, your muslim surgeon probably only sees you as a kafir aka infidel – a person beneath him. Perhaps while he was operating he was thinking, ‘wish this person was dead, along with all the rest of the Kafirs’. Alternatively, surgeons like skilled musicians, dislike hand shaking in case, in the process, their hand becomes damaged.
