BBC support for the 1.7 million NHS workers pay increase is relentless- and the threat of a strike too . In the meantime an American actress who married a prince will hold court and display true victimhood – but at least even the BBC hasn’t paid for the interview .Closer to home MPs ‘debated ‘ decriminalising the TV Licence Tax – got nowhere and will forget about it until the Charter is due for renewal in 2027 .and we are migrating …

Has anyone from the Labour or Lib Dem Parties made such an impact as Nigel Farage?
I rest my case, m’Lud.
Tony Blliar, David Cameron and Theresa May all had a greater impact but not in a good way.
All of them from the same far left party sought to destroy British culture and values through population replacement, and attacks on the majority white population.
Some of them took bribes from the Middle East to promote Islam in the UK and to turn a blind eye to horrendous crimes being perpetrated in the name of Islam.

Nothing on the BBC so far about Farage. Am I amazed?
I do not think Al Beeb is the first place Nigel or The Reform Party would go to to publish any news as it would get twisted by the broadcaster.
06:00 and I still can’t see nowt about Nigel Farage on Al Beeb’s news website? Perhaps it is because I am tired or perhaps they don’t work nights anymore?
I understand that the news report did not get reported until 11:30 AM this morning . Why did they take so long ? Probably waiting for the other broadcasters to go first ?
GCHQ no jobs for the white boys
As posted before, wokeness is riddled in our system. Boris needs to ‘put his money where is mouth is’ and dispose of this blight of wokeism.
David Kurten is standing for London Mayor.
Good man.
I see the BBC are on the ramp-up for the George Floyd Trial.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56270334
They are playing their usual tricks of mixing real facts with half-truths hoping we treat it all as fact.
One of them is telling us how George said ‘I can’t breathe’ 20 times. What they (or any of the MSM) fail to mention is that it had nothing at all to do with how he died. He was pretending he was claustrophobic as an excuse to resist being put in the police car. It was a complete lie.
From everything I have seen, the absolute worst case is involuntary manslaughter. The medical evidence (if what I have read is true) on Floyd makes it more likely to be accidental death. The media are going to put great pressure on the court to convict with a murder charge.
I watch with interest to see if justice still exists in the USA. And if it does, what the black community does when it doesn’t suit them.
If they go on a rampage of murder and looting (like they usually do), you can be sure the BBC will report the bullet points, but hide the nasty and dirty detail. This is a very important case – but not for the reasons the BBC are telling us. We will see just how deep the Left-wing rot goes.
“If they go on a rampage of murder and looting”
It will mean more votes and support for Trump.
The trouble is that people like the BBC and CNN paint them as victims of injustice and hide the true nature of what they are doing.
The BBC now refer to the Capitol as ‘deadly riots’ where the only person deliberately killed was one protestor – whereas BLM can murder dozens without any comment.
Trump won (or nearly won until the rigging swung it) the last election despite almost the entire MSM and social media companies being against him.
We can only hope these people show more of their true colours to the point it’s impossible to hide it from Mr and Mrs Average watching the news after work.
7:10am R4 religion show is deliberately WOMEN ONLY
“On the eve of International Women’s Day Emily Buchanan talks to some inspiring women about important ethical and religious issues
Sister Norma Pimentel has been working to support migrants seeking refuge in the U.S. along Texas border , she directs efforts to provide shelter, food, sanctuary and comfort to people often treated as less than human..”
It is estimated that 71% of victims of modern day slavery are women and girls. For the past six years, former police officer Karen Anstiss has been running Caritas Bakhita House – a place of safety for women escaping human trafficking
– On 3rd January this year, Rear Admiral Margaret Grun Kibben became the first female chaplain to the US House of Representatives. Three days later, an angry mob stormed the Capitol building and the 60 year old Presbyterian Minister found herself on the frontline.
-17 year old award winning poet Aminah Rahman performs her poem ‘Changing the Future’ – written especially to celebrate International Women’s Day.
No mention of the Swiss referendum vote on the burka coming today ..!
Ah there is a man but he was omitted from the blurb
“The Archbishop of York, Bishop Simon Cottrell has a new book out
.. so What do you reckon to this 1% pay rise for Nurses ?
….
The Church failed to take a lead on environment
…..”
…loaded agendas there, she doesn’t seem very respectful.
Ah the burka item was omitted from the blurb
A Swiss Muslim woman said women wear it of their own free will.
Then a female prof from Dublin.
The Capitol Priest said all members were in the Senate
we know that’s not true
many like AOC were in their offices
Presenter “many of us were bowled by the poet Amanda Goreman at the inauguration”
Today’s poem from the Cambridge Mosque woman
“Black Lives Matter
Racism must shatter
…”
I note for radio 4 she read her poem straight
on Twitter she does it in the rap style it’s written in.
Stew,
The “award-winning poet” Shamina Rahman. What award has she won for her poetry?
The Young Muslim Writers Key Stage 2 Poetry category in 2015 apparently. Quite a niche award that isn’t it?
She has also been the joint winner of Cambridge Pupil of the Year but I’ve no idea why. Charity or “community” work at the Mosque perhaps?
Fair play to her though, she has had at least one book of her poetry published. “Soul Change” published for her by Perfect Publishers Ltd, Cambridge. The founders and directors of Perfect all appear to be Muslim. Two of them share her surname Rahman as well.
Purely coincidental I’m sure.
‘Important’ to whom, to what end?
BBC getting them young.
Just suppose the police officer’s defence comes up with powerful arguments that Floyd George died as the result of drugs he had taken and the cop was not guilty of murder and the jury acquits him. It will be a case of burn baby burn
Jaw-dropping unceasing bias on Toady on Sunday today featuring not only more jon-the-dots failings but also a BBC favourite tactic – something highly biased masquerading as something apparently innocuous.
The list was so long I cannot remember everything. It was a showcase for every Left wing cause.
Try these.
A story about Mexican immigration across the border into the USA. Clearly perceived as a good thing.
The Archbishop of York bemoaning the increase of only 1% for NHS workers (irrespective of their actual role during the pandemic).
A story about the forthcoming Swiss vote on ‘banning the Burqua’. An interviewee expresses the view that the ban would be a bad thing and then for balance a second interviewee…..errr……also expresses the view that the ban would be a bad thing.
Then its over to the new female priest who works in the Capitol in Washington. The story is entirely a front for reminding us about the entry into the Capitol on January 6th by the Trump supporters.
Then its a reminder about International Women’s Day, apparently tomorrow. A young female poet is featured. She reads one of her poems. The words ‘Black Lives Matter’ appear in the very first line. Later she reveals her love for her work ……..at Cambridge Central Mosque.
Just a litany of the BBC’s favourite causes with not one single attempt at impartiality.
The presenter rather than the arch bishop was pushing the nurses pay
… he actually sidestepped it, by saying the economy is bad.
He mentioned this Nigeria Anglican church head’s statement briefly
isn’t The Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba a baptised, believing and faithful full member of the Body of Christ?
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
An alternative (or not) view to NHS pay rises from Andrew Lawrence.
Nigel says he wants to concentrate on (a) the encroaching power of the CCP (a vital cause where he will have some backbench Tory support) and (b) the indoctrination of our children within the education system. As a grandparent I’m hoping that, free from the direct constraints of party politics, he uses his undoubted skills to have a big impact on the latter – and sooner rather than later.
This will in turn have an impact on the bBC, who sees ‘education’ via its vile kids’ programmes as one of its expanding roles in an attempt to make itself relevant. We want to end up in a situation where up and coming MPs and civil servants are critical thinkers and not cowardly, greedy automatons who have been squashed by ‘educators’ bought and paid for by malign forces. Bliar knew exactly what he was doing when he (further) wrecked our education system.
The bBC will no doubt follow Mastermind Lammy’s lead with the ‘Nigel Farage was never elected as an MP – oh titter titter’ stance.
The other huge malign force which needs immediate attention is of course Islam, which Nigel shies away from, but we have the currently no-platformed ‘For Britain’ for that. For Britain see the route to sanity as starting from the bottom and getting local councillors elected, starting in May. I wish them well.
ti, yes this is right – it is so important otherwise we will sleepwalk into having despots take power over the UK:
” We want to end up in a situation where up and coming MPs and civil servants are critical thinkers and not cowardly, greedy automatons who have been squashed by ‘educators’ bought and paid for by malign forces.”
Last night after the Farage news
the super-haters were there on Twitter led by Lammy and James O’Brien etc. with their sneering tweets
Interesting who is con.
Curious – With all the graphics tools available today who would grab a 1970 ‘Dymo’ labeller to illustrate a point?

Who checks the fact checkers? Especially when the BBC closes ranks on its own activities.
Given Ms. Spring’s colleagues number Wendy and M. Wrongon Everything, one might feel the bbc is in need of setting its own house in order.
Guest, I would like Marianna to spring into action on a ‘factoid’ repeated by Beeboids that the average pay for a nurse in England (don’t know about Wales, Scotland & NI) is £34,000 per annum. If true, that makes nurses among the best paid out of all workers in the UK. Average pay for the UK is generally considered to be around £25,000 to £26,000 although the ONS reckon it is £29,500 for 2020. The ONS now reckon that median pay is £31,500 which represents an unlikely fall from the £32,000+ or higher estimated for previous years.
Marianna could usefully check out that NHS nurse £34,000 average remuneration figure and confirm whether it is correct.
Helpful note for the Marianna and the rest of the BBC:
‘Average pay’ is the total pay for all workers in UK workforce divided by numbers of earners
‘Median pay’ is the mid-point between the highest paid job and the lowest paid job.
Up2,
On the subject of the ONS, its National Census day on the 21st. The booklet I received tells me that, “……you could be fined up to £1,000.” for not providing the information or providing “false” information. I love the word, “false”. That’s exactly what the results of this ‘census’ will be, FALSE. It will not cover the number of illegals residing in the country as a result of no or minimal border control – still now!
The ONS lie when it states, “…..ONS does not produce estimates on the size of the illegal migrant population.” Of course, they have to estimate and anyone that believes otherwise is stupid.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/illegalimmigrantsintheuk
The Sunday Times, in 2019, estimated that there would likely be 1.2 million illegal residents in the UK but numbers vary dramatically. It could be anything up to 2.4 million.
Just think of those lovely fines.
1.2 million x £1000…………
Average pay is what you would receive if you pooled everyone’s pay and then divided it equally. Not a very good measure if there are very high or very low ‘earners’ in the group.
Someone on median pay can look down on half the population, but then half the population can look down on them.
It all depends on the distribution of salaries as to which method gives the ‘best’ figure, oh, and the point the reporter is trying to make!
Stand down Stuart Hughes… or is it ‘on yer bike’?
Or

I’m feeling a lot of commonality with Her Majesty the Queen today. Seems we’ll both soon be settling down on the sofa, and just like me, HM the: ‘Queen “Won’t watch the Harry and Meghan circus”‘ (Sunday Times)
Yep, the papers are full of it: ‘Meghan speaks her truth‘ – the Mail on Sunday carries an ‘11-page special‘
However, ‘Queen’s mind is only on duty and Philip‘ – explains the Express.
The Star, as it often does, lampoons the Sussexes and provides us with a free gift: ‘Emergency vomit bag. If you happen to be watching ITV at 9pm tomorrow night and come over a little bit queasy then feel free to use this receptacle. By Royal appointment.‘ – Bravo!
What is it about pushy female celebs these days? The Sunday Telegraph quotes Helen Mirren: ‘I was bolshy and annoying – but I had to stand my ground‘
Yes, one does have to stand one’s ground. The nation learnt that lesson during the interminable Brexit negotiations: ‘Frost tells EU to stop sulking at Brexit‘ (Telegraph)
The Sunday Mirror believes it is onto a winner backing bigger NHS pay rises: ‘Nurses rage at 1% pay rise “insult”‘
Of course Sir Keir and his Labour Party will support the idea of big public sector pay hikes. It’s just about the only thing they can all agree on. Sir Keir is meanwhile in the comfortable position of being able to play at advocate for all kinds of extra spending without having to worry about how it is all to be financed.
Reach Group stablemate The Sunday People (just like Meghan and Mirren) and like the Mirror, attempts to drum up sympathy with an admixture of victimhood and stroppiness: ‘Time to pay up, Boris. Backlash over 1% rise for NHS staff. Strike threat as soon as summer‘ – the newspaper’s accompanying pic of a masked nurse behind one of those transparent plastic face sheilds, I’m afraid, encourages little fellow feeling in this world weary, effectively GP-less, tax payer.
I’m interested in the statement that it will be by the summer time that our nurses might clock off from the job of caring for the health of patients and concentrate full-time on their striking, their political activities and their TikToks. Is this the first admission from the Public Sector/Political Complex that covid will be declared officially over by summer?
And it’s about time too: ‘Teenage girls suffer “explosion of tics” in lockdown‘ (Sunday Times) – it sounds an odd one but this is a warning about stress disorders and even Tourette’s Syndrome becoming more prevelent in youngsters confined to lockdown. Actually, as a parent, I can confirm they do get a bit mardy and even a bit sweary, when they reach a certain age.
‘Boris hails pupils’ return as schools sent 57 million Covid tests...’ (Mail on Sunday)’
The return to school plan is a policy just waiting to blow up in the government’s face: ‘Concern over quick-result tests giving pupils false positives‘ (Telegraph) – and this doesn’t refer to GCSE tests. Teachers will be sure to see those are all passes – “A” grade.
We can appreciate the hard work teachers and nurses do but we can’t really conjure more money from nowhere. The Express thinks it has the answer to this eternal conundrum: ‘Rishi leading tax fightback. Cash from internet giants will help pay virus debt as lockdown cost fears grow‘ – one admires socialists their naivity.
Like a lingering adolescent adhesion to the myth of Santa Claus is this notion that some one, somewhere, is hording a load of cash and if we could just tax a bit more out of them… then we could at long last grasp utopia.
My socialist old dad used to name Rod Stewart and Georgie Best as the likely solutions to the indebtedness woes of the James Callaghan administration. (There’s one for the teenagers) The sophistication that comes from ridding one’s self from leftist dogmas sadly informs us how the internet giants would simply pass on extra taxes to us, their customers. Muggins joe public.
The sight of other people’s wealth does rile us up though.
‘Celebrity tax exiles win back right to vote‘ (Telegraph)
Calm down. I really don’t know, dad… I assume Rod still pays all his taxes in the UK. But, hey, I doubt if Prince Harry does.
Frost should shove it down the throats of the Graun and BBC.

AISI, the Observer is missing today from the BBC Blog: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-56309738. It gets a mention in the text but that is two days the BBC Imaging Dept. has been unable to get a copy of the BBC ‘House Magazine’. (Yesterday the Guardian was missing in inaction.)
Could it be the BBC is sensitive to the criticism it receives here on BiasedBBC and elsewhere over its adherence to the Grauniad Group and Mirror Group ‘political line’?
Petulance is an adjective usually applied to children and only occasionally to adults, I have never heard it applied to the behaviour of a country or block of countries before. The behaviour of the EU is beyond petulant , it is beyond cutting their nose off to spite their face.
I note that Frosty has told them to stop sulking , another word most often applied to children, and come to terms with Brexit . But I think we know what the problem is and what is stopping them behaving like grown ups. I’m sure most of the ordinary people of Europe couldn’t give a toss about Brexit they just want the best possible life for themselves and their families. The EU vaccine debacle , which may result in many more deaths than was necessary thanks to the ineptitude of Brussels, is removing the scales from millions of their eyes, they realise that the EU isn’t necessarily a good thing, that perhaps the Brits had a point. But the leadership elite have been committed to the creation of a federal Europe for all of their political lives. They regard it as the true religion and can’t allow apostate Brexit Britain to escape, we must be burnt at the stake as heretics. The fact that in doing so they are reducing the standard of living of their own people , indeed killing some of them doesn’t matter , the heretics must be burnt, Brexit Britain cannot be allowed to be a success and they will do all in their power to bring us down.
It isn’t a sulk Lord Frost, it’s a religious war by other means.
just for the record.
I’m absolutely not a twitter person, but…
Why did ‘impartial’ BBC employee Lewis Goodall feel the need to tweet this on March 4th?
Royal College of Nursing describes the proposal as “pitiful and bitterly disappointing”. Say it would represent a pay increase of only £3.50 a week for an experienced nurse. “Nobody would think that is fair in a pandemic and it will do nothing to prevent the exodus from nursing.”
Doesn’t sound terribly unbiased to me. And presumably neither did Dr Mary Bousted, the left wing leader of the National anti-Education Union.
She re-tweeted it.
The furloughed in solidarity with the fermentors.
The factually incorrect in deliberate political disrupt mode?
Thinking this weekend about the state of politics in the West I am drawn to an unhappy conclusion that we are in a similar position to Russia or China, and that the West is no longer in the least bit democratic.
Two shocks to the establishement elites have led to this unhappy state, one was the referendum on Brexit which the elites had rigged in their favour, but still lost, and the similar election of Donald Trump which had been rigged in Clintons favour, yet they lost.
That will not be allowed to happen again, and the next time the elites risk an upset will be the French election, and it will not matter if every single French man and woman votes for Le Penn, she will not be allowed to win. They will make sure it’s disguised as a close run thing so as not to raise suspicions too much – in the same way as the US election.
Britain is now effectively a one party state similar to a communist country where you can choose between candidates who have the same beliefs and the same policies and it’s perhaps just a personality thing. There is little point in voting in the UK, and more & more people are seeing through the deception and refusing to take part in it.
Our freedoms have gone, and worse many idiotic apparatchiks see that as a good thing! We can make small criticisms here, that is tolerated – for the time being, Criticisms on a wider platform are not. The media is now all the same beliefs, the captains of industry all support theh views of the elites, especially the IT ‘education’ and entertainment sector.
The only realistic freedom we have left is to opt out. Opt out of paying for a media (of all kinds) which no longer supports freedom, and refusing to cast a vote of any kind in the knoweldge that it counts for nothing and only the candidates the elites allow will be elected.
Look at what happened when Nigel Farage was elected as MP, yet the Tories were found to have cheated the electorate, were fined for doing so, and the crooked result allowed to stand. Or Fiona Onasanye, where people went to prison for electoral fraud – but the choice of the elites was allowed to stand regardless of the fraud which had taken place.
Eventually if numbers of funders and voters decrease to such a level the elites can no longer hide their corruption we will see more taxes imposed to support the status quo and the state broadcaster, which cannot be opted out of, and voting will become compulsory.
This is the way I believe not only our country but many Western countries are headed, time will prove me right or wrong.
In the meantime I urge you to excercise the one choice you still have – don’t fund the media, including the BBC, and don’t vote.
You are, of course, spot on. No matter what we say or do, there’s no-one listening, and the odds are stacked against us. Even the police and judiciary have turned against us – you only have to witness the behaviour of the police in the Former UK, and Australia, as two prime examples, to see that their sole purpose now is to beat back the population, rather than support them and police by consent.
We now have to endure these obscene and insane leftie ideas in terms of sexual deviancy, and racism, the systematic destruction of our history, the dumbing down of our children by the communist “educators”, and the ridiculous stance on the climate, which they insist is rapidly changing because of our existence on the planet, and which we all know is a load of cobblers. The drive toward the “Great Reset”, under which we should become serfs, own nothing, not eat meat, not drive nor fly, and stay where, and do everything we’re told, on pain of persecution and prosecution, is gathering momentum.
And it’s all held together by this Covid scam, which is a tool to overpower and control us, and thanks to the gullibility of the daft sheeple within the public, is largely succeeding.
Viva Frei shining a light on NY Governor Cuomo’s Nursing Home Scandal
.. IMHO he is very good but spins slightly towards Conservative
Decided to dip my toe into a bBBC programme and watched a few minutes of “The Big Questions” on BBC1 this morning.
And everything that is unacceptable, biased and contrived about the BBC was present in the 15 minutes or so that I was able to stomach.
For those who didn’t watch, it was one of those studio-discussion type programmes with (including presenter Nicki Campbell) perhaps 10 people (mostly female obviously), and then a wall of 16 screens in the background each of which featured a member of the public (mostly female obviously).
So a total of around 26 people. I reckon only about 3 were white males. Which is disgusting in itself, but it got even worse.
The topic being discussed was the ISIS terrorist Shamima Begum. And most of the people who were allowed to speak were simply making excuses for her. There was one white man in the studio, an ex-soldier who fought against ISIS, and he actually spoke the most sense in saying that Begum is a woman (not a schoolgirl) and should basically pay for her crimes, but he was constantly interrupted by the favoured BBC left-wing PC types in the studio who were simply defending Begum, and when the people on the 16 screens were allowed to have their say the ones chosen were naturally either female or black/brown men who probably have sympathy for the Begum creature from a skin-colour perspective.
To be fair, Nicki Campbell did come across as fairly neutral, but as usual it is the fact that the various studio guests/panelists/members of public are chosen simply either for their skin colour or because of their left-wing anti-British views.
I really don’t know why I bother even dipping my toe in for 15 minutes. It just makes my blood boil on the rare occasion that I do it.
Then desist – you know it makes sense…
Desist and de-fund is far better.
Simples.
I see the cowardly useless incompetent far left Blue Labour party have decided to ban the import of Foie gras using the false excuse of animal cruelty when the real reason is that they see foie gras as a luxury food for toffs in the class war.
Foie Gras is not produced in the UK, however very real significant disgusting animal cruelty is allowed to carry on in the UK in the form of unstunned religious slaughter houses.
Liveleak once hosted a video of these slaughter houses which to me was so cruel it was unwatchable and reduced me to tears.
But Saudi oil money buys a lot of blind eyes, and you will never hear the so called animal rights activists attacking a Halal slaughter house, nor anything to do with Muslims.
They are not animal rights activists, they are Fascist/Nazi activists who are intent on attacking White British people and their way of life, and they have the support of the Blue Labour party in doing so.
When did you ever see as organised a campaign by the state against them as the one run against Tommy Robinson?
Ban “halal” (and kosher) slaughter, and ban export of live animals; then the animal welfare motive might appear more credible.
Viva Frei exposing major Capitol event disinformation
Good apart from the way Viva disrespected victim Roseanne Boyland
by saying her death was a “medical emergency”
Apparently crushed when 2 or 3 bad guys were fighting cops with sticks in a doorway on the outside stairs
Not clear what happened
Was she overcome by teargas & on the floor
Did someone hit her ? A cop ?
Those stick guys are some of the few people I would call rioters
witness video … long thread about the scene labelled “the mosh pit”
the scene started at 2:30pm and there pushing and shoving for 110 minutes before she died
NYT “At 4:19 p.m., the mob can be seen making another push into the doorway.
Less than a minute later, the police pushed back,
and the mob can be seen tumbling out of the door and down the steps.”
..So it was a result of cops pushing back and people falling down the stairs
Of course that was a product of them pushing against cops

Dear God. That lefty Bonnie Greer, speaking on BBC news, tells us that the ‘brand’ of Harry & Meghan is bigger than the brand of the United Kingdom, and that this country wont come out of it looking good. Perhaps her 30 years living here, and her time is up.
Megan’s contrived Mrs Simpson look is knowingly geared to appeal to her American audience and ‘One of the lads Harry’ will work too, in the short term. What about later though? What will the sad little hooray henry do with his life? Pretend to fire machine guns? Sprint for another non-existent Apache emergency?
Sadly, he’s a fantasist, encouraged to live a fairy-tale culminating in the most woke ending conceivable.
Maybe Disneyland will prove his ultimate destination.
He will end up like his old man.
Brushing up leaves and a spot of gardening on the grounds of an old folks home in the west country.
Well, whatever they say, they’re firing all their bullets at once. So once all the revelations have been revealed, what else is there ? He cant forever keep spouting on about how he has been affected by his mother’s death, and eventually their stock will fall, and it’ll be just a continuous round of sleb parties and red carpets – if they’re lucky.
As someone who has devoted most of her life to biting the hand, Ms Greer runs a real risk of being called a cannibal. Despite the racist overtones.
With the length of queues at A&E, cancelled appointments and missed diagnoses, together with most of the population unable to see and talk to anyone in the NHS – other than to catch covid – for a year and more, the RCN might ponder the fact that encouraging nurses to strike might not have the desired effect, if nobody notices the difference.
Give the true front liners a couple of quid. Those in ICU can get some danger money, I think the Army used to pay a bit extra to those in harms way so there is a precedent.
But only pay em from the cancelled overseas aid budget and watch the lefties spin into knots over that one.
This Covid epidemic has at least given the BBC the chance, with it’s seamless morph into senior Government propaganda mouthpiece, to inoculate itself against the dreaded defunding virus. Mind you I suppose the organisation itself, with it’s virus like existence poisoning the airwaves, is naturally suited to fight off any attempts to see off what it sees as it’s divine mission to save as all from ourselves. So I cordially invite them all, together with their great God Worthy, to do one. Amen.

Me neither.

If, as we are told, the first lot of ‘blacks’ that came over with the Empire Windrush have suffered unremitting racism, such as they and their children have never managed to get a knighthood or ermine-edged gown among them, and them brought up English-speaking and in the British tradition, why on earth are we importing a new batch of slave-selling whingers?
Perhaps if the Windrush descendants who were born here actually spoke English in the manner like the rest of the population (barring other BAMEs) instead of adopting their heritage patois, then they might have a chance. Looking back in my ancestry I appear to have descended from the Danes, but I don’t converse in a lilting see-saw tone of voice !
I hope Nigel keeps reporting all this.

In one word they can be described as , ‘infantile’.
Strangely the righty media keeps covering Meghan and Harry
doh ..ignore them …I just hit fast forward
Kevin O’Sullivan “I hate them, but we’ll ALL be watching
.. the ITV show on Monday will get 15 million viewers
I’ll be glued to the screen* ”
… All ? 15 million means 52 don’t million watch
Kev is doing WeFiles stuff of assuming watch they watch = what WE ALL watch
I’m guessing ITV won’t make 15m.. probably get 8m
* Kev also admitted that he’s actually on air when the ITV show is on anyway.
Stew, 52 million minus 10 million school children who will have a school day the next day 😉 and will have to be in bed before 9 p.m..
Pleased to see the number of contributors properly referring to the Scotch. You join Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns and Queen Victoria, among many others, in using the label in defiance of today’s paranoid nationalist children.
Choosing to link the term solely to an alcoholic drink – one of the few significant export earners for the Scotch economy – is as petty and pointless as their aspirations. The Scotch have been around for far longer than Krankie and her gang.
“Scotch”: gosh, I am so delighted with that comment! Who are these people to dictate how we should speak? Even if Scotch people themselves wish not to use the word in its traditional sense, they have no right to forbid the English to continue with their accustomed usage.

As Mr Punch would say “That’s the way to do it!”
Now wait for the “experts” to invent thousands more deaths,all of course, due to covid19 and Mr Abbott’s total disregard for human life.
Just in on Sky news.
0 covid related deaths in last 24 hours.
I predicted double figures (and the DM say 90 deaths) but Sky are reporting 5177 cases and 0 deaths.
Shurely shome mistake Sky!
Stop press!
Sky now showing message saying government processing figures will be updated later.
EG, funny, that – I wonder when the ‘R’ rate will catch up with the dramatic fall in infections?
I don’t think the data can be trusted at all. At lunchtime the BBC were doing some PR for Mary Bousted’s teaching Union, the NEA. The inaccuracy of the Lateral Flow Test was mentioned again.
Up2.
Maybe 0 is the true number of covid deaths but they still need to add on all the other deaths where they can somehow link something covidy to the death and then declare it a covid 28 day death.
Not to mention all the false positives which must be boosting the cases number.
The only good way to look at these government numbers is to compare their daily numbers with their other daily numbers (providing they are using the same way of getting these numbers) and noting the downward trend.
Soon there will only be their dodgy numbers left to use which will show the baseline, then again, they will find another way of presenting them.
zero is not a credible figure
Listening to Saturday Live on R4 for a while and thought the new presenter, Nikki Bedi, must be part of the much trumpeted drive to diversify the BBC’s thinking as she replaces the Asian Aasmah Mir….Bedi being blond[bottle], blue eyed and white and seemed pretty grounded and ‘normal’ in comparison to the lefty Reverend Richard Cole and seemingly not a cosy match with him and his worldview.
Naturally I was wrong….Bedi said yesterday that she spoke Hindi and on exploring further turns out she has an Indian father and was married to an Indian actor and indeed describes herself as a ‘‘Culture Courier’ & proudly Indo-Anglian.’.
The BBC can’t help itself…couldn’t just have a plain old, everyday white girl with no ‘ethnic’ credentials to wave in people’s faces…no, they have to slip in a ringer, one who sees herself as a ‘culture courier’ crossing bridges and smashing down walls no doubt…not that Bedi isn’t good….I like her if only for the fact she unsettles Cole.
Interested to know the reality of the BBC’s 13% or whatever the figure is for ethnic minority employees….seems a lot higher than that on the frontline as just about every programme, podcast or ‘Sounds’ broadcast seems to have a Bame in there somewhere….and if not presenting then as a guest or ‘race’ as the subject of the programme.
Born Nikki Moolgaoker; 9 September 1966 s a British television and radio presenter,
born to an Indian father of Maharashtrian origin and an English mother.
Married to Kabir Bedi from 1992 to 2005

Countryfile tonight based in west London. Recently the editions I have seen have all been from parks around London. Considering journalists are permitted to travel unlike the rest of us, why are they staying near a huge city rather than a country.
The old blonde bimbo has just told us that Tom Heap is asking whether the environment should be at the centre of children’s education. I think I will switch off.
London was last week at the home of the shrine to Marx in Highgate Cemetery
Now its Charlotte Eco-Warrior Smith

oops @Deborah my bad
There is another Colne Valley near west London
I was wrong to assume it was the one up north.
Where else…..? Where indeed?
@trefjon tweets Health warning on Tom Heap’s Maoist grasp of the school curriculum.
Sustainability could not be more fully integrated and basic to the study of Geography today.
His ignorance was frightening, and reminded me of an East German youth group indoctrination
“@BBCCountryfile mink didn’t escape to then be veracious invaders,
do gooding lefties released them to then go on and decimate water vole populations. ”
Heap (heep) n. a pile. A (frequently conical) assembly of unwanted detritus. Coloq: Term of abuse: ‘You are a heap of (varied appellations, many coarse in nature).
And now Peter Hitchens finally manages to put two and two together months after I first warned of what was happening to the Tory party.

“New Labour, whose ideas have now captured the Tory Party too, is a revolutionary party, rooted in Marxism and loathing of Britain as it used to be.”
BBC2 Simon Reeve repeat
“Here we are in the prairies, where they are doing rewilding
an essential thing that we need to do to save us from Climate Change”
He told us that nature would capture the CO2
My thought. is, yes and then there is a big fire and it all burns back to the sky.
My best bit was in the light aircraft.
Pilot: “Look over there, Bison”
Reeve to camera: “wow, look buffalo”
Pilot: “Blah blah bison do this and that”
Reeve to camera: “Look at the buffalo doing that”
and repeat another 10 times.
The rest of the programme was the usual BBC missing out important facts to reinforce their agenda eg. he mentions native Americans live 10 or20 years less than whites but didn’t mention it is due to alcoholism.
Also in one of his interviews a native American said “Indian reservations are prisons”. They are nothing of the sort, native americans are free to leave it anytime and live whereever they want.
Stew, you are right, the prairies get very hot and dry in summer. What’s that statistic: lightning strikes the earth fourteen times a day – on average – or is it fourteen times an hour?
It’s about 100 strikes per second. There is some good footage from the ISS in orbit where you can see almost continous lightning in some parts of the world.
Probably not a BBC reported poll.

Good grief.
Truly.
Who’s the most dishonest UK “news” organisation by a country mile?
The BBC are the most dishonest. Not because they publish the most false information or fake news but because they present deliberate misleading information behind the facade of an unbiased, regulated, ‘state’ organisation. They have a very specific political agenda but claim they don’t. It’s cynical and it’s ethically corrupt.
All the others make no secret of their bias : they do it to attract a certain commercial audience who are free to fund them or not.
The way BBC super-elevates some items
eg does a small housing development in your village, make the national BBC news online ?
This is of such significance that it justifies a place in Science & Environment news at the BBC, apparently:
Skelsmergh Holme House Farm eco co-housing plans approved
Five families have been given permission to build an environmentally friendly co-housing community on the site of a former illegal settlement.
The group formed a company to buy Holme House Farm at Skelsmergh in Cumbria.
Oh so new Eco-housing
on the site of a “former illegal settlement.”
Now see the contrast, see it’s not like the old site was billed as “eco”
Yet, when I check I found it was
The illegal one was billed as eco too, how can the new eco-developers not be aware of that ?
Someone is lying
31 Aug 2011 — RESIDENTS living in illegal eco-lodges on the outskirts of Kendal say they will not move until eviction officers force them out.

The Swiss have just voted to ban face coverings. The BBC report it as right wing. An un-named Islamic source says it is a dark day. My wife is part Swiss and we call it a great day.
These face coverings are a part of the Islamic cult known as Salafism. Salafism is illegal in at least 20 Muslim countries, and in some carries the death penalty, wearing a face covering in Turkey carries a prison sentence of upto 25 years, not for the veil, but the cult membership of a banned group.
Europe is a stupid continent run by stupid people who think they are clever. They think they are so clever that they can pick live coals from the fire and not get burned. Every Islamic terrorist act in Europe so far as I can tell has been carried out by a Salafist, yet we stupidly believe we can allow them to practice their evil cult and remain unaffected.
Let us not ban a piece of cloth, but the evil cult which lies behind it. Most Muslims haven’t got a clue what their holy books say as they learn to recite them in classical Arabic without understanding, and their Imams have little insight too, as they only know what they are told by others.
Banning Salafism carries with it the banning of the veil. It cannot be right that 20 Muslim countries see this as so dangerous they are prepared to execute its members, and yet we in the West not only allow it, but we celebrate and protect it!!
BBC : Switzerland votes to ban face coverings in public
The referendum,
brought by a far-right party, could affect Muslim women who wear the burka or niqab.
..
Amnesty International spoke out against the proposed ban, calling it “a dangerous policy that violates women’s rights, including to freedom of expression and religion”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56314173
elsewhere written
“Switzerland will follow France, Belgium and Austria after narrowly voting in a referendum to ban women from wearing the burqa or niqab in public spaces”
BBC news page
has a story “Pastor on leave after Melania ‘trophy wife’ sermon
Stewart-Allen Clark offered advice to women on weight and clothing and commented on Melania Trump.”
It has a photo labelled
“Melania Trump, wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, arrives to speak on the first day of the Republican National Convention on July 18, 2016”
The line is
\\ in his video “he is seen using a well-known online meme of a distracted boyfriend to tell women not to “give their husband a reason to be looking around”.//
Oh Swiss vote margin
Yes : 51,2 %
No : 48,8 %
I am sure we can rely on the BBC to give generous coverage to those arguing in favour of a second referendum.
I mean…51 to 49, could the 51 have fully understood what they were voting for? Surely it needs to be explained better and then put to another vote.
The BBC has a fine track record in this regard.

Widespread condemnation and calls to resign from all sides as revelations and accusations flood in about Cuomo in New York….his cover-up of deaths in care homes and a growing number of accusations of sexual harassment would normally flip the BBC into top gear…if this were a Republican…however Cuomo is an ‘heroic’ Democrat for the BBC and…….can’t see a single headlne on the website about him.
However the BBC has several links to this…
Who truly was the most dishonest president?
Any guesses?
‘”We’ve tolerated presidential lies ever since the beginning of the republic,” says Professor Eric Alterman, author of Lying In State: Why Presidents Lie – And Why Trump Is Worse.
“But Donald Trump is the Frankenstein’s monster of a political system that has not merely tolerated lies from our leaders, but has come to demand them.”
Prof Alterman says the Capitol rioters, radicalised by conspiracy theories about stolen elections and satanic cabals, underscore the extent to which Trump inspired the “creation of an entire world of unreality”.
Except of course the election was stolen by a barrage of bright shining lies fabricated and spread by the democrats and their media stooges…four years of continual demonisation and character assassination of Trump took its toll.
Maybe the BBC should be investigating that….but it would be investigating itself as well, of course.
HI Pug
“Maybe the BBC should be investigating that….”
Maybe someone should investigate the bBC 🙂
If Derek Chauvin is not found guilty of any form of murder of Floyd, I wonder if the BBC and Twitter will tag anyone saying otherwise with banners like ‘This information is false’ and ban people who question the decision.
After all – they have set the precedent.
Just joking. Of course they won’t. The BBC will report it with great sympathy and imply justice was not served.

Meghan & Harry – does anyone give a toss?
Putting it as politely as I can , She is an actress .
It’s so pathetic, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
What’s the chance of the BBC opening up for HYS ?.
About 1 in 10 billion I reckon. They know what we would say and those sort of opinions MUST be suppressed.
Apart from the world’s most hyperbolic, race-obsessed, fact free tabloid broadcaster, you mean?
And so the scene is set.
Just about every tabloid is going with ‘bombshell’, because therein lies ratings and ratings mean advertisers and…. money!
Oh, here is the biggest tabloid money grabber of all, with their carefully substantiated Moaning Emole…. er…. ‘bombshell’……

Meghan reveals Royal Family ‘concerns’ about Archie’s skin colour
After the teasing clips, the full interview between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey was shown last night in the US. Here are some of the key lines:
Meghan said there were “concerns” and “several conversations” within the Royal Family about how dark her son Archie’s skin would be when he was born. Meghan didn’t reveal who had the “concerns” – and Prince Harry said he would “never share” further details
Meghan said she had suicidal thoughts after joining the Royal Family, and “just didn’t want to be alive anymore”. She said she sought help from the “institution”, asking to go somewhere for help, but the request was denied
Harry also said he went to “a very dark place as well”. He said he “didn’t have anyone to turn to”
On his relationship with his father, Harry said: “There’s a lot to work through there. I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar.”
Harry said the family “literally cut me off financially”
Meghan was asked about rumours she had made the Duchess of Cambridge cry. She said the “reverse” was true, and Catherine had bought her flowers to apologise
The couple revealed their unborn child is a girl
You can recap our live text coverage of the interview here, and read our story here. Our royal correspondent Jonny Dymond’s analysis is below. The interview will be shown in full in the UK on ITV tonight.

‘A devastating interview’
Meghan and Harry have upended the narrative created by Britain’s bestselling newspapers.
They have revealed the terrible strains inside the palace. They have drawn a picture of unfeeling individuals lost in an uncaring institution. They have spoken of racism within the Royal Family. This was a devastating interview.
But Harry describing his brother and father as “trapped”, and Meghan revealing that she repeatedly sought help within the palace only to be rebuffed, is a body blow to the institution.
It’s not at all clear if and how the palace will respond. Many of the revelations are so personal that getting any reaction seems unlikely. The Queen has made clear repeatedly the affection in which the couple are still held.
As for the newspapers that the couple so despise – will they change their tune? It is not in their nature.
There were pages of bile in some Sunday newspapers prior to the interview. Meghan and Harry have given up on getting a fair hearing from many of the most popular publications.
It seems highly unlikely that they will see anything published that will make them change their minds.
