Start the Week 18 January 2021

The BBC will be continuing the adoration of Joe Biden in the run up to the Coronation on Wednesday and the demonisation of President Trump with a single groupthink . How much can the British Licence payer take ? Less and Less it seems ..

    Emma Barnett world ..is still characterised by people pointing out she knew about her father’s brothel business.
    Then replies from her side that say “that’s not true !”
    ..which then get deleted when the next person post the newspaper story
    There are all these threads with deleted replies.

    Tomorrow is arguably the most pivotal day of the last 70 years. We will discover whether Trump has allowed America to be stolen by the communists and technocrats leaving his fellow Americans to fend for themselves (and likely allowing him and his own family to be massacred or at best imprisoned) or – as I have long suspected and continue to genuinely believe – he and his military allies have orchestrated the greatest sting operation in history and are about to send these criminals into permanent exile, as well as bring down the complicit media companies like the BBC and the tyrants of social media.

    We don’t have long to wait now. I and millions of others have either fallen for the cruelest psy-op ever committed, or we’re going to be validated in roughly 30 hours and the evil Marxist authoritarian bigots of the left are going to be humiliated and shamed on an unprecedented scale. Please pray for the latter.

      There is nothing to be done about the coup now. It has succeeded. No order President Trump gave would be obeyed, and that has been the case since November.

      When the Supreme Court simply refused to hear the case which Texas had brought, it was clear that the establishment wanted nothing to do with any claims about a stolen election. They wanted to keep their hands clean.

      As the old saying goes: Treason never prospers. What’s the reason? If it prospers, none dare call it treason.

      Hence you see the MSM busily proclaiming that there was no election fraud, even when we actually saw it, caught on CCTV. Biden stole the election, and he will be president. None dare call it treason.

          G,

          The President can sign an executive order, it doesn’t mean the civil service will actually carry it out. They know there is a new sheriff in town tomorrow, and have decided whose side they are on. Trump now has no power to order anyone to do anything, sadly.

    BBC censorship.

    I’ve struggle for a few years to post on the BBC Have Your Say. Most of my comments are removed before they get through the pre moderation queue.

    I’d thought I would try some BBC brown nosing instead so posted something about “2020 would have been much worse if we didn’t have the BBC providing quality TV and unbiased reporting” but that comment also got removed in the pre moderation queue.

    I guess once you have been targeted by the BBC you can never become an accepted citizen or comrade again!

    BBC had to apologise about a false claim Barnett had made about vaccine skeptic Mike Yeadon
    It’s been edited out of the prog now ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000r3n6 )

    At 12 minutes… Completely unprompted:
    “We were looking through how this all came about and one of the roots to this idea came from -(Mike Yeadon) and I’m naming him specifically… and he put it out there that it’s a form of female sterilisation“…

    False : he wrote a paper which said, you have to rule out that the vaccine COULD cause sterilisation
    Someone had indeed made a web article with a title that misrepresented that in the title “Head of Pfizer research: Covid vaccine is female sterilization.”
    That article is the root of Barnett’s false claim
    https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/10/blog-posting/no-pfizers-head-research-didnt-say-covid-19-vaccin/

    Now when you go to the 12 minute . She speaks Yeadon’s name ..and then jump we’ve moved on.

    TOADY Watch #1 – It’s become such a Beeb meme

    Nick Robinson on TOADY made reference to ‘President Trump and his inciting a riot at the Capitol in which five people were killed.’ or words to that effect. Repeat a lie often enough and people will still refuse to believe you, Nick, because it is coming from the BBC on R4 and you are saying it. We have read the news reports. Only one person was killed, Nick. You know that so why help in creating a lie?

    Oh, it was in the script, was it? ‘They’ made me do it, is your defence then.

    BBC very kindly reported that lorries were protesting around Westminster .
    Could it be because there is an anti Brexit angle to the story ?

    BBC never reported when we were protesting around Westminster 20 odd years ago , a bigger demo repeated .

    Thats because Labour were in power and it would be a bit anti EU .

    News from a couple of days ago…. ‘Two small boats with a total of 36 migrants on board were intercepted while crossing the English Channel on Saturday.
    It comes as the Home Office said French authorities had stopped 27 people from attempting to make the crossing since Friday evening’.

    I think ‘intercepted’ means escorted to the UK, but the Beeb report neglects to mention this.
    Well done to the French. I mean, stopping 27 is about a 40% success rate. Mon Dieu they’ll be wanting a pay rise next. Stupid me, they’ve already had one.

    With ferry crossings still restricted you might have thought that numbers would drop. Not that I’m aware of, as at least double figures are still arriving monthly at other south coast ports. Examples include men (disguised as boys) found hiding in freight loads of lettuce or oranges (with a blatant disregard for having a negative covid test to hand either !). What happens then to the ‘contaminated’ cargo* ? Well it gets destroyed and I guess we subsequently bear the cost (*cargo being lettuces not people).

    It might strike me as amusing that a man from Albania on arrival here seeks to claim asylum. That would be so if they were immediately returned (the ferry companies having brought them one way refuse to return them, red tape, security excuses, blah blah- Border Farce meekly accepts this). However for potential asylum seekers there is lots of helpful information on the government’s website to ensure you have the correct persecution story on arrival.

    Over the last 2 or 3 days both sky and bbbc have been doing interviews with lots of varied people asking them what they thought about Trump and his 4 years as President.

    What would you think the chances were that every one without exception hated him and had nothing good to say about him, only intense hatred.
    If they deviated slightly from their hate, the presenter/interviewer got them back on topic by asking their usual type of question with the answer in the question such as “he still says he won the election which was absolutely fair with no evidence of anything wrong”

    Has anybody heard any positive interview supporting Trump, the man supported by (over) half the USA voters.

    The far left have everything going for them at the moment.
    I expect the centre and right will just roll over and take everything without any reaction at all.

      Street interviews are as pointless and fake as using twitter comments to support things like Dr Who. All you need to do is pick the ones which suit you.
      The only good point about the Left’s overconfidence after getting away with the election is that they are dropping their guard and showing us what they are really like. I suspect they are going to hang themselves and the USA is due for some trouble.

      Clive Myrie has been on the same ‘Undertakers’ course as Fiona Bruce
      PPS The BBC have regularly featured on the need to turn patients over and how many staff (7) are needed. I’m amazed some automated machinery cannot easily be developed for this.
      PPPS new cases are down to 33000 but this had barely a mention compared with the record death rate of 1600, a number predictable from case rates 2-3 weeks ago and with a weekend effect.
      PPPPS but no comment on the very low, 204000, vaccination rate. A valid question but I guess no time after the agenda-driven stuff.

        Random deaths outside like a stroke and a heart attack dogmatically added to make a tally.

    Recently I mentioned three neighbours who have died from covid having got it in hospital or at the hands of carers.

    Make that four. A carer with covid visits a house. All occupants caught it, but the elderly mother caught it worst and was sent to hospital, dying shortly afterwards (earlier today).

    Maybe the Police, instead of fining people £200 for sitting on park benches, could do something that would really make us safe, and bring manslaughter charges to those in positions of responsibility who are quite literally killing the public.

    And may be Clive Myrie could tear himself away from his hospital ward and do some proper reporting.

    6pm news started with Clive Myrie’s report starting with bodies being pushed into the fridges in the mortuaries. It is a good job that young people don’t watch the BBC any more otherwise the snowflakes wouldn’t be sleeping at night. But I am sure that these scenes didn’t help people who had lost family and friends (oh how I hate the expression ‘loved ones’) recently whatever they died of. I am also sure it doesn’t do a lot for the people who have family and friends in hospital at the moment, particularly if they have covid or indeed I am sure the piece won’t have done a lot for people due to go into hospital shortly and you may be surprised to hear that some people are still going into hospitals for some treatments, tests or operations.
    But the BBC loves ’emoting’ and presumably so does the tv Awards industry. Alex Belfield has suggested that Clive Myrie will be hoping for an award for his pieces this week which will be bringing so much extra distress to people who are already distressed about any treatment they may be due to have.

    I had to wait 10 minutes into the 6pm BBC1 news to hear that the number of cases had dropped by approximately a quarter and even then there was a rush to say that it will be WEEKS before this reduced number affects the death rate. We now have over 4 million people vaccinated and some of those were in the most vulnerable range and it will be three weeks plus for some of them. The risk of vaccinated people falling sufficiently ill that they need to be in hospital is greatly reduced and should soon be reflected in the figures.

    The BBC don’t care how many people they distress in the name of a good story.

    And for the anti-vaccers reading this – please remember Halifax. His post when he first realised that he had covid told us he would let us know how he was getting on. He came on and posted he had had 12 days in hospital and then we have had radio silence. For some it is certainly a disease to be taken seriously.

      I completely agree – the desperate attempt to get some tuppeny TV award for showing such things on the 6pm news 2 days running is pretty sad – as with the rest of the formulaic assault on emotions . They should be ashamed – but will never understand that .

      50 thousand less vaccinations reported today than yesterday – it needs to be up at the 300 k a day to meet that 2 million a week .
      I really hope they don’t blame the weather …

      ..In a city of 9 million people aren’t mortuaries pretty busy anyway ?

      I’d expect 1% of the population to die each year in the churn
      that’s 90,000 people/year
      1800/week
      260/day
      20 each daytime hour

    Funny thing, the BBC really do not want to tell me how the Impeachment Vote went today. Did it happen as scheduled? Or did I get the day wrong? I thought it was meant to be voted on in the Senate today, the first day that the Senate could sit.

    Normally when you need 20,000 troops to protect you as incoming president it’s because you are taking over control in a banana republic.

    If Joe had any balls he would stand them down, this will blight his term as president and show him to be the straw man he really is.

    The USA is now and will be a basket case until he is gone which I predict will not be long.

      Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the oath of office today — but the event will be different than usual, due to Covid and the recent riots.
