Not mentioned on “Ceefax” though, even on the Tyne and Wear section. However the BBC do cover the doctors’ strike (no hint it could be connected to lockdowns of course) and “Covid jabs for under fives”. I repeat, do not pay the licence fee.
Are you saying “stop watching live golf and football on Sky and do not pay the licence fee” or just “do not pay the licence fee”?
I totally resent paying the licence fee, but feel uncomfortable about breaking the law (even when the law is an ass).
Interested in other thoughts.
I don’t pay it, but I don’t legally have to, i stopped watching terrestrial TV 15 years ago (and all of the other things that require a license). If they add it to council tax or otherwise it’ll be interesting trying to find a way to vote with my feet because I wouldn’t pay the BBC on principle.
If only we had that choice here in ireland! If you have a tv, you must pay a licence fee, even if the tv is in the shed somewhere broken!, if it’s repairable, you still have to pay for rte! Seriously.
I got the impression from over here that the COVID propaganda was even stronger on RTE than the BBC.
Correct, they are still pushing the booster campaign over here! it’s nonsensical
cricfree DOT sc for all your Sky & BT Sport needs. Or small sub to Jokerhdpass, so I am told….
PIA “London streaming” option allows VPN access to iPlayer, so I am told….
Thanks, Jeremy
They do have something on their website: –

Apparently side affects are ‘very rare’.
I just call them effects – there’s nothing ‘side’ about them, most especially in this case.
The effects they ‘wanted’ didn’t materialise.
The effects they ‘didn’t want’ materialised in spades.
The product is a poison therefore.
Something else you might like to do is acquire one of these lovely dolls, immortalised by the wonderful Enid Blyton. Don’t worry, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a sissy…
I’m not sure about this one – I think I’d probably avoid a pub that had these on display.
Your choice…
I’d be more likely to order in such a pub, one that cocked a snook to all the rollocks we are now battered with.
I dont give downticks I’d sooner give an opinion. It wouldn’t really bother me if I walked into a pub that had these things! They are just that,..things, it’s the people that matter irrelevant of race colour or creed.
Just conjures up childhood memories of marmalade labels to me.
Also metal badges/brooches you could collect…
Pretty sure I had one as a teddy.
I’m sure I wanted one. I know my friend had a cuddly one.
Exactly, Punch is a caricature of a wife beating white man, I’m not offended by it! Far from it,it’s a reminder of happy days(not that I’ve ever beaten any of my wives!)
Like the black and white minstrels, I never even thought anything about racism it was just good entertainment
If the B&W Minstrels are good enough for jab-pusher Lennie (Lenny?) Henry it’s surely good enough for the rest of us.
(Be great to catch up with the celebrity endorsers – see if they’ve changed their minds or spent the money or had a son die of a rare cancer. Now that’s a documentary I might pay the licence fee for).
I can see that gollies might not be to everyone’s taste, but I’m afraid that’s what it comes down to in the end. Flying a confederate flag, or a rainbow flag, or supporting the Azov brigades. It’s all a tad political. Gollies are way down the list.
Titter…
BBC wanted to interview this fine feller (from Oxford – one of the estates, natch), but told him he had to take the Golly doll off.
He, bless him, told them where to shove it.
Good on him, what a great guy! I bet he’s a good laugh and a great personality..sadly lacking these days
For a long time now, black babies’ dolls are being made just as much as white ones, to accommodate diversity – fair enough. So why would anyone want to call the ownership or display of black dolls a “hate crime”? Surely the only discriminatory hate crime happening here is the confiscation of black dolls, where white dolls would surely be spared!
Line up some white dolls on a shelf and it’s lack of diversity, line up some black dolls and it’s a “hate crime”!
“A growing number of scientists are reconsidering the dangers of prospecting for unknown viruses,”
You don’t say..?
Do scientists have a ‘sense’ gene missing, perhaps? I mean what could possibly go wrong if you’re constantly looking for something to wipe us all off the face of the map?!
“Big Obstacles in Store for Buildout of Nationwide Charging Network”
Rich, thick people buy electric cars! The vast majority are neither!
Another grand waste of money
Easy to get run over by an electric car as you can never hear them coming! I always see people’s virtue being signalled when I see one and yes they are usually quite well-off people who haven’t really thought it all through…
In the UK, since July 2019, all new EVs have been fitted with acoustic sound systems so that they can be heard by pedestrians.
Well, not the ones I’ve recently seen. I guess I am looking at ‘old tech’ then!
No, sepulchrave is correct, they are all fitted with a replicated engine noise, but, not many use it as its another drain on the battery, like wipers, heater, lights, AC, and other meaningless creature comforts we all take for granted
..if you have a normal car that is!
This modern age, 21st century technological advances!
I bet, when the old one stops spinning, the new ones do too!
On the windless days its back behind the shed with his demijohn of cider for windy Miller!
No, no, these days Windy Miller will be out catching bugs on still days in order to grind them into the flour.
CBI not WEFfie enough. Not big corporation Mussolini enough.
OK.

“All natural biological pathogens are already perfectly optimized and balanced and cannot be “modified,” despite the sci-fi narratives of hackable “software of life” and gene splicing. No complex life form can be “genetically modified” and continue as a viable life form, because that modification will interfere with its living balance, and deviate it from the perfect current state of equilibrium. In multicellular organisms, you have to modify all cells (not possible with single injection), and keep modifying all of them in perpetuity.”
Sacha Latypova utterly destroying the transhumanist argument.
