It is interesting to see how the BBC push out their propaganda.

We get on the spot live BBC reports on brush fires in France. Endless reports and pieces about how this weather is definitely climate change.

We get nothing at all on demonstrations across europe by farmers about dutch, the EU and other governments trying to shut down farms and cut food production to reduce nitrogen.

One side - the woke, WEF, climate activist side gets endlessly promoted, repeated and broadcast.

The other side - the impact of rushed climate policies which starve the world of energy and food and impoverish everyone - well it is censored, cancelled, not allowed to exist, hidden, covered up.

It is also interesting how the UN has signed an agreement with the WEF. The WEF is an unaccountable voluntary club for a set of the super wealthy elite and global corporates. Why is the UN - a formal intergovernment organisation - signing agreements with unaccountable corporates and super wealthy elites ? Why are they following agendas which are NOT bourne out of elected governments or free and democratic debate ?

The BBC, and the globalist commies that it represents, is an existential threat to our civilization and freedoms. Promotes endless lies, racism, health and climate hysteria, and just generally spreads confusion and disharmony. All at the expense of the general public, some of whom - including the more vulnerable members of society - are dragged through the courts for not buying the licence, whilst the BBC squanders that money by massively over paying low-talent celebrities obscene sums of money to be hypocritical virtue signallers and staggeringly shit entertainers.

It is, to the information and entertainment industry, what the NHS is to health: as clear an example as one could ever need of how socialism just doesn't work.

I am proud to say that I haven't paid for a TV licence for over 12 years, and never will. It's a shame so many people are so addicted to the blue pills this monstrosity dispenses through the idiot box, day after day.

so we dont believe the BBC is it all click bait
so we use the daily mail - royal click bait
are any of the media any better at telling the truth or just publishing their own click bait or their spin

For comparison see local reports on a football match -often 2 different version
or
witnesses at an incident

the bottom line is who do you believe probably those that agree with your perception

The question is where do you go to hear the truth

I was watching the news on RAI 1 last night just to see what their perspective was on the heat wave. It wasn't even the lead story, it was about the third or fourth report into the bulletin, usual stuff about fires etc and a brief mention of the UK, no mention of global warming!

Imho the best you are going to get is Al Jazeera

High standard and professional.

You have to watch some of the other stuff, just to understand what Joe Public is being fed on.

I'm enjoying the few days of hot weather, a nice reminder of the Summer of 76. Meanwhile Princes Charles and Harry are lecturing (hectoring) us about climate change. Are there any other people in the whole world with a higher carbon footprint than those two.

Doubling down, Harry (as Meghan's mouthpiece) is currently hectoring the US about democracy.

I love the royals!

Prince Charles told us in 2008 that the polar icecaps would have completely melted in just 7 years ..........
I believe he was also advised by the same climate change experts who are currently overhyping an unremarkable sunny spell.

Ghastly man, and thick as a brick. While I am all in favour of the UK monarchy, which just adds some harmless colour and makes many people happy, if I were an American being lectured on democracy and my constitution I would be thinking "Why is this twit of an hereditary Prince telling me this? Queen, Lords? Who elected them?" I would be amazed if either he or his equally ghastly wife had even read the US constitution.

I have always believed in teamwork (where relevant).

This morning I was gently disturbed at 05;20 (I was already awake) by the men emptying the wheelie that should have been done Monday. Probably not the manager, probbably not the foreman, but most likely an interested worker who had observed on his holidays how the job was done in a hot climate. Start early.

I could complain that the work should not start before 07:00, but hey!

We all have to do our own thinking and research of multiple sources.
