It's News Guys, But Not As We Know it!
Here's a fine example of the shady subtle manner that the MSM promote their own agendas.
As you're aware, the BBC and other elite-driven outlets hold disdain for the British public that voted to leave the
European Union. 'Brexit' is a word they assign to any news article that can be massaged into a negative incident
-even if they have to later omit that blame later.

Here's the catch-line for the BBC's website piece.



Quote:Domino’s seeks 5,000 workers as Covid staff depart
'Domino’s said Brexit uncertainty and pandemic hires departing were responsible for the shortage...'

8h hours ago Business.


Now here's the entire article. Notice the word 'Brexit' or any reference to leaving the EU being a stated cause for
the lack of employees at Domino Pizza chain.



Quote:Domino’s seeks 5,000 workers as staff return to old roles

'Domino's Pizza is hiring 5,000 cooks and delivery drivers, as staff who joined during the pandemic head back to former
roles. The fast-food chain said it had recruited thousands of workers in the last year to keep up with demand.
Recruits included event managers, taxi drivers and hairdressers, unable to carry out their work due to lockdowns.

However, as Covid restrictions have eased, many employees are returning to their old jobs.
It comes days after reports that hospitality venues are now struggling to fill thousands of vacancies.

Domino's operations director Nicola Frampton said the group was "overwhelmed" by the response of applicants last year.
In March 2020, the chain created 6,000 additional roles due to an increased need for delivery drivers during the first Covid
lockdown.
"I'm proud we were able to play a part by offering people the opportunity to continue working and earning when times were
tough," she said. "But as people start to reunite, customer demand is showing no signs of slowing and so we're now looking
for 5,000 new recruits."

The chain is taking part in the government's Kickstart scheme, offering around 1,400 work placements for young people in stores
in England, Scotland and Wales. Kickstart recruits receive on the job training and can apply for permanent roles at the end of a
six-month placement...'


So maybe Domino Pizza isn't responsible for using Brexit as an excuse for staff shortages, so why mention it in their lead-up line?
The article moves onto Britain's hospitality businesses, are they the ones accusing the outcome of the 2016's EU referendum?
But credit to Domino Pizza, they've got free advertising -even if it's under a false assumption of the reader.



Quote:Hospitality staff shortages
Last week, UK Hospitality said there was a shortfall of about 188,000 workers, with the shortage of front-of-house staff and
chefs being "particularly acute". Uncertainty over the future stability of the industry and Brexit were cited as being the main
reasons for the shortage.

Many staff have been laid off over last 14 months, as venues struggled to survive through lockdowns, despite various government
support schemes. The industry group said many overseas workers returned home last year and have not returned due to travel
restrictions.

On Monday, UK Hospitality's chief executive Kate Nicholls said venues were on a "cliff edge" if businesses were not able to fully
reopen on 21 June, amid concerns about a third wave of coronavirus infections hitting the UK. "It would be devastating for many
of our members and catastrophic for those not able to open at all, [such as] nightclubs and music venues and for those with
restricted opening, so wedding venues and indoor leisure," Ms Nicholls said.

"If there is any delay it's imperative to extend the business support schemes to protect the millions in the sector that are at risk."...'

So even though the BBC says 'Brexit' was cited as one of the reasons for hotels, nightclubs and public houses being short of staff,
it's only the UK Government's Covid restrictions for overseas workers is elaborated on. UK Hospitality's chief executive Kate Nicholls
is never quoted on blaming Brexit.
It's not even good fear-porn!

Quote:Google diversity head removed over anti-Semitic blog post

[Image: attachment.php?aid=9461]


'Google has removed its head of diversity over a 2007 blog post that said Jewish people had "an insatiable appetite for war and killing".
In a post about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that resurfaced this week, Kamau Bobb also claimed Jewish people had an "insensitivity"
to suffering. The post has now been deleted.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Google told the BBC that Mr Bobb would "no longer be part of our diversity team going forward".
"We unequivocally condemn the past writings by a member of our diversity team that are causing deep offence and pain to members
of our Jewish community," they said.

"These writings are unquestionably hurtful. The author acknowledges this and has apologised. He will no longer be part of our diversity
team... and will focus on his Stem [science, technology, engineering and maths] work.

"This has come at at a time where we've seen an alarming increase in anti-Semitic attacks," the spokesperson added. "Anti-Semitism...
has no place in society and we stand with our Jewish community in condemning it."
Mr Bobb - who joined Google in 2018 - has apologised to staff for the blog post.

What did the blog post say?
In the 2007 post titled If I were a Jew, Mr Bobb described how he believed Jewish people should feel about the conflict between Israel
and the Palestinians, the Times of Israel reports.

 Said Jews Have ‘Insatiable Appetite for War’ 

He's not fit for this post.
And there's more:


"If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defence
of myself," he wrote. "Self-defence is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing
insensitivity to the suffering [of] others."

When the post resurfaced, campaigners were quick to call for Mr Bobb's resignation.
Michael Dickson, head of the pro-Israel organisation Stand With Us, tweeted that the blog made "revolting, and anti-Semitic, comparisons
between Nazi actions and that of the world's only Jewish country".

The US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, meanwhile, also called for Mr Bobb to be removed from his post. Mr Bobb has not publicly responded
to the criticism. However, according to the New York Post, he emailed the Jewish staff group at Google to apologise.

"What I wrote crudely characterised the entire Jewish community. What was intended as a critique of particular military action fed into
anti-Semitic tropes and prejudice," he reportedly wrote in the email.

"I think we can all agree, there is no easy solution to this situation. But that's beside the point," he added.
"The way I expressed my views on that conflict were hurtful."...'

Quote:FORK OFF Shocking moment furious farmer rams a yob’s car with his tractor
and FLIPS it before almost running man over

'A furious farmer rammed a yob's car with his tractor before flipping it over and almost running the man over.
Raging locals said dozens of vehicles were parked all over the picturesque countryside near Barnard Castle,
Co Durham, at the weekend, infuriating local farmers.

Footage of the dramatic rampage begins with the yellow forklift driving down a track behind a dry stone wall
as a shirtless man wearing shorts films on his phone. The farmer speeds up as he approaches a stationary
grey car - before ramming it towards the main road.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=9473]

The shirtless man begins kicking the tyres on the forklift to no effect, before the car is lifted into the air and flipped
onto its roof. The farmer continues to ram the car off the land onto the country road as the man desperately tries
to stop him.
But the forklift suddenly reverses and swings around, violently knocking the bloke to the ground.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=9474]

Broadcaster Jeremy Vine shared the shocking clip on Twitter, with the caption: "Driver has blocked farm gate
with his car. "Motorist has smartphone. Farmer has forklift. Who's gonna win this one?"

Some social media users saw the funny side of the stunt, with one writing: "I love the way the farmer looks right
to check no oncoming vehicles before pulling out."
Another said: "That's it I'm buying a forklift! Too many shirtless entitled holiday makers in the village!"

But one pointed out: "It's private land so the farmer has every right to move it HOWEVER he will get done for the
damage to the car and the guy could use the fact he was intimidated by the farmer and hit with the forklift on a
public road."

And another concerned villager said: "Maybe this is slightly over top but people continually park like idiots around
the countryside. "We live minutes from Devil's Pulpit made famous by Outlander filming & it's dangerous the way
people park around it."

It comes after a furious farmer took brilliant revenge on a "plonker" driver who blocked his gate - as tourists start
returning to rural beauty spots. The farmer got his own back by enclosing the black BMW in its very own paddock.
The vehicle had been left in front of the gates of a farm in Wales and meant the farmer couldn't tend to his animals.
So in a stroke of genius he blockaded it in on all four sides.

A picture of the trapped car was posted on social media by a local councillor who urged people to respect farm
property. Emily Durrant said: "It's great be welcoming everyone in Wales back to our corner of heaven but please
don't be a plonker and park in front of farm gates.

"It is a working landscape, not just a fun place to be. When farmers can't tend to their livestock it makes them a
little upset. Fair enough." Luckily for the driver, the farmer only did the stunt to make a point online and removed
the fences once the photo had been shared...'

I can't imagine why - It seems a perfectly reasonable response, and I'm a thoroughly unreasonable person. No connection at all.

We did have a similar incident here a few years ago. Drivers were parking in a farmer's pasture to go to some sort of flea market next door, so the farmer finally got ticked off and brought several rolls of hay into the field and completely surrounded the cars so that no one could leave... then, as I recall, he went back to his house, locked the tractor in the barn, and went to bed for a nap since he couldn't get any work done.

What I don't understand about our incident here is why the drivers got so indignant about it. Entitlement has it's pitfalls, I reckon.

Quote:OUTRAGE Telegraph columnist Julie Burchill ‘SACKED’ after ‘racist’ tweet over Meghan Markle
and Prince Harry’s new baby Lilibet

'The writer made a series of "offensive" comments following the naming of the Sussexes' daughter - who was born
on Friday in Los Angeles. Burchill said this evening that she was sacked by The Telegraph, adding that she had a
"lovely five years" but felt disgruntled after they rejected many of her "edgy column ideas."

This comes after a lawyer was suspended over a "racist" tweet about baby Lilibet Diana in conversation with the
columnist. Joanna Toch, 59, was blasted for her comments following the royal birth, which was announced by Meghan
and Harry on Sunday night.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=9486]
Julie Burchill, Joanna Toch & the social media items they'll both discuss in the wine bar later.

The ordeal erupted when journalist Julie Burchill tweeted that Lilibet’s name was "a missed opportunity" for the new
parents. She said that they could have called her "Georgina Floydina" - in reference to George Floyd, who was
murdered by policeman Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, sparking worldwide protests.

In reference to Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland, lawyer Toch replied: "No Doria?
"Don’t black names matter?"
Burchill responded that she "was hoping for Doria Oprah, the racist rotters."
Toch replied saying: "Doprah?"

Hundreds of people slammed the women online - before Toch apologised and deleted her profile.

'DESPICABLE'
The conversation between the women was branded “disgusting racism” and “despicable.”
The Brighton-based Telegraph writer, however, did not apologise for her tweets.

She said today: "I've been sacked by the Telegraph – it’s been a lovely five years, and I’ll always be grateful to them
for ending my wilderness years. “However, I’d be lying if I said that I hadn’t often moaned to my husband recently about
them always rejecting my edgy column ideas and giving me more pedestrian ones – which I’ve done splendidly anyway.”
“Onwards and upwards!”

The Telegraph did not confirm that Burchill was sacked when asked by the Sun Online - as she works as a contributor,
rather than a member of staff. The newspaper made clear that they are not responsible for what is published on Twitter.

In response, lawyer Joanna Toch said today: "I am very sorry for the comment and what I saw as a joke.
"I’ve fought during my professional life against racism which is abhorrent. "I’m not a judge and I have children of colour
and I apologise unreservedly."

Her law firm Family Law Cafe later revealed they had suspended her "with immediate effect pending an internal review
into her recent comments." A statement from the directors said: "FLC considers her comments as offensive, unacceptable
and highly contradictory to the inclusive manner in which FLC has always and will continue to work with members of all
communities in managing the challenges of matrimonial and family disputes."

Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Friday in Los Angeles - and was named in tribute of both Her Majesty
and Princess Diana. After returning home from the hospital, the Sussexes introduced Harry's grandmother to her namesake
via a video call, it's been said.

Meghan and Harry announced to the world on Sunday night that they daughter had arrived two days earlier, writing on their
website Archewell. A source told People: "They were very excited and couldn't wait to share that their daughter arrived."

But critics have blasted Meghan and Harry's name choice as "rude" and "demeaning" towards the Queen.
Angela Levin slammed the sentimental move - suggesting it exploits "a very private nickname".
She told Good Morning Britain: "I don’t think it’s a good idea - I think it’s quite rude to Her Majesty Her Queen...'

THAT innocuous exchange is now considered "racist"? They'd have not just a calf, but a full grown cow if they heard just one tenth of my daily dialog then!

And what is the deal with this royal racism, anyhow? Are these folks ashamed by the race of their children? Because one cannot be shamed unless they first feel shame before the heckling starts - otherwise, the heckling has no effect, as there is no hook to hang it on.

For the record, I feel NO shame, for anything, ever. Heckle away.

Very well, there are standard questions that are offered -not to just attempt to get you in a corner, but to also indicate
the false high-moral stance of the person asking the questions.
(Obviously in jest!)

Question One: How would you think your family feels if you refuse to kiss the booted-feet of Black Hebrew Israelites?
Remember, these oppressed people have ancestors who were slaves and carry this burden everyday.


Question Two: There's been some booing lately from English and European soccer fans who perceive taking-the-knee
by players as a sign of cow-towing to Black Lives Matter -when really it's recently been urgently reported that the act was
to support kicking racism out of sport.

Is this ignorance because they're just unschooled working-class fans who are really uncouth Nazis...? or would you -as a
white heterosexual male, tend to agree with that horrible orange-man and believe the problem lies with the mainstream
media failing to get the message across?


Question Three: Have you ever deleted your Tweets and apologised? If so, what racist women-hating thing did you say?


Question Four: You're American and since you don't live in Los Angeles or New York, are you a card-carrying Klan member?


Question Five: You may be aware that all Journalists -especially those who support the UK re-entering the European Union,
are better than you. How does this make you feel -especially when we use big words?


Question Six: Do you appreciate different wines and do you require a sip-or-two to start the day?


Question Seven: During your day of manual labour, have you ever considered the idea that Joe Biden's rhetoric and accidental
bloopers are just facets of a highly-principled communication sprinkled with a tad of light humour and that due to you simply not
receiving the proper education, such upmarket sophisticated consultations are beyond you and your ilk?


Question Eight: When President Biden recently invented the logistics to get the wonder-drugs that we're using to tackle the
Covid-19 pandemic in the US, how did this make you feel due to realising that you voted for the wrong man in the last election?


Question Nine: Considering the hair-weave was invented in Wakanda, do you feel that a white person (apart from Hollywood elites)
sporting such a vital part of their apparel is cultural appropriation?



Question Ten: As a white male, what terrible things have you done and have you ever approached someone -like a Journalist, to
ask where you went wrong? (Tucker Carlson not included)

First off, my apologies for editing your post. I hit "edit" when I meant to hit "reply", and then had to go back and un-fuck everything I'd messed up thereby. I blame it on my "damned good 6th grade education".

To answer this question, they would say "yup, that's just Ninurta. they're damned lucky he didn't just kill 'em for the mere suggestion." I have ancestors who were slaves, too, from Nigeria. I also have ancestors that were "indentured servants", at least one of whom was an Irish lass whose husband was arrested and charged for "stealing" her from her mistress, who was one of the Custis family - the family of George Washington's wife, Martha. See this post for some more recent family history of serfdom and servitude. Those Black Hebrew Israelite bastards ain't got nothin' on me, and if they want to keep all their teeth intact, they'll leave me the hell alone. I would not allow them the honor of kissing my boot. I wouldn't even allow them to get close enough to kiss my ass without bending them all up into a pretzel shape. Ain't NONE of them either "Hebrew" or "Israelite" anyhow, unless maybe their great great great grannies were owned by some New York Jew. Otherwise, they're just crazy, and I tend not to hang out with crazy folks. it's bad on the arrest record.

Quote:Question Two: There's been some booing lately from English and European soccer fans who perceive taking-the-knee

white heterosexual male, tend to agree with that horrible orange-man and believe the problem lies with the mainstream
media failing to get the message across?

Neither. I think they just realize what "taking the knee" has historically meant, and think it's hysterical and somewhat insulting (to the athletes performing the act) for them to "bend the knee" to a flag and anthem they profess to hate. One simply does not make an act of obeisance as a protest against what he is pledging fealty to by bending the knee. "Taking the knee" is just not a valid protest move, since it is a pledge of fealty. Their ignorance of accepted custom is hilarious, and somewhat offputting. I reckon with that degree of ignorance, chasing balls around a field was all they were qualified to do, and everyone has to make a living somehow.

Quote:Question Three: Have you ever deleted your Tweets and apologised? If so, what racist women-hating thing did you say?

No. I've never made a tweet. I have a twitter account as it was a requirement for a journalistic job I toyed with, writing for a now defunct news website, but I never figured out how to use the damned thing. Nor have I ever deleted any Facebook posts I've made, and I damn sure never apologized for one. That would be entirely outside my character. I tend to not say things I'm going to feel a need to apologize for later, and if I do, I just go balls to the wall in support of it, to keep 'em guessing. That "balls to the wall" thing, btw, is not something ANY split-tail can do. They ain't got the balls for it, y'know? They're just not equipped the same.

Quote:Question Four: You're American and since you don't live in Los Angeles or New York, are you a card-carrying Klan member?

No, the Klan won't have me because I start too many fights with them, and they are a cowardly lot. They hate to lose, and they can't win against me, so they give me a wide berth. I am, however, the great grandson of several Confederate veterans - is that racist enough yet?

Quote:Question Five: You may be aware that all Journalists -especially those who support the UK re-entering the European Union,
are better than you. How does this make you feel -especially when we use big words?

It doesn't make me feel any different. I can still bitch slap the living crap out of any journalist I've ever met, and that's good enough for me. I don't feel a need to place myself above or below them in any hierarchy they choose. Why would I allow THEM to choose MY place in a hierarchy, anyhow? They don't get to have that much control over me. I play by my rules, not theirs. Maybe that is why they hate me... and I don't care that they do. That's one of MY rules that I play by... and they can't do nothin' with that.

Quote:Question Six: Do you appreciate different wines and do you require a sip-or-two to start the day?

No. I'm not a rotted grape juice kinda guy. I try to avoid consuming anything that is made by rotting it. It strikes me as icky.

Quote:Question Seven: During your day of manual labour, have you ever considered the idea that Joe Biden's rhetoric and accidental
bloopers are just facets of a highly-principled communication sprinkled with a tad of light humour and that due to you simply not
receiving the proper education, such upmarket sophisticated consultations are beyond you and your ilk?

"Manual labor"? Are you joshing me? I have more education than BidenHarris, anyhow. Combined. "Stupid" is not always the same thing as "humor"... but it sometimes can be - BidenHarris proves that almost daily.

Quote:Question Eight: When President Biden recently invented the logistics to get the wonder-drugs that we're using to tackle the
Covid-19 pandemic in the US, how did this make you feel due to realising that you voted for the wrong man in the last election?

There is no "President Biden". There is only the BidenHarris Regime, and that does not equate to a presidency. The office of President cannot be stolen, one must be legitimately voted into it. So, currently, the office of President of the US is vacant. We are running on autopilot. So, it makes me feel nothing at all for him to claim victories that are not his, for his mouth to write checks his scrawny ass can't cash, epic heroic battles with "Cornpop" notwithstanding.

Quote:Question Nine: Considering the hair-weave was invented in Wakanda, do you feel that a white person (apart from Hollywood elites)
sporting such a vital part of their apparel is cultural appropriation?

Yes, but ONLY for Hollywood elites. All of Hollywood IS cultural appropriation, regardless of where hair weaves were invented, or by whom. Other folks who wear hair weaves, well, I just don't hang out with them, so I don't care what they do or whom they do it to. They're just not quite right in the head, y'know? So I stay away from them and let them do their own thing, whatever that "thing" is. I don't care. it ain't MY hair they're making look silly!

Quote:Question Ten: As a white male, what terrible things have you done and have you ever approached someone -like a Journalist, to
ask where you went wrong? (Tucker Carlson not included)

We have neither the time nor space to enumerate all the terrible things I've done, so I will just say I ain't sorry for any of them, nary a damned one. They only time I approach journalists is when they are in need of a bitch-slappin'. See above comment regarding journalists.

Well, no, but thanks for asking! A gun is a very handy tool when conducting interviews with recalcitrant interviewees. I've often used one to good effect during interviews. Robert Heinlein correctly observed in one of his books that through the course of human history, violence has solved more problems, indeed has been the only possible solution, than any other method available to mankind. It settles issues forthwith.

'Tis true. owning firearms may be why I failed as a writer for Tekkek, which went on to fail itself, probably because nearly all of the writers there owned firearms, and one was even - GASP! - a current member of the military. This was in the days before the military became kinder, gentler, and of course more diverse. Looking back, it may have been doomed from the start.

Quote:Heathrow airport: Nose of British Airways plane collapses onto tarmac

'The nose of a British Airways plane collapsed on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport this morning (June 18).
The front wheel of the plane appears to have given way causing the stationary Boeing 787-8 to fall forward and
smash into the ground below.

Airport officials in high vis jackets can be seen in pictures crowding around the damaged jet at stand 583 on a grey
rainy morning in West London. The aircraft was carrying out a flight from Moscow only two days ago on June 16.
Luckily there were no passengers on board when the plane fell to the ground...'
MyLondon:

But at least we're not talking about the four pilots who died after taking the Covid jab.

Sadly four members of our pilot community passed away recently.
Our thoughts are with their family and friends. However, there is no truth whatsoever in the claims
on social media speculating that the four deaths are linked. Julie.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

Thanks Sky, that explains to me the importance of when a pilot wanders around a plane. If a mistake is made,
it's his ass that takes the brunt!
(I suspect low-paid poorly-trained employees)

Locking pin got sold as scrap metal.  Fellow has to make his beer money somehow.

With Joe Biden welcoming anyone and everyone to take up residence in the United States, Cubans seem to be
the ones they're not that keen on. Maybe it's because they understand what a dictatorial country means to the
plebs it oppresses and this may mean they'll vote differently from the trillions and quadrillions who elected
'Lunch-Box' Joe into office.
Just a guess.

However, some Cubans see the long game and know that floating across the 90 miles to Florida on a makeshift
floating device may not be the best idea and so, use their buoyant apparatus elsewhere.
From the BBC... I shit you not.

Quote:Russia stops Cubans trying to enter EU on air beds

'Three Cubans who took the desperate step of trying to cross one of Europe's most sensitive border rivers on
air beds now face deportation from Russia. They were caught trying to paddle across into the EU state of Estonia,
Russian border guards say.

They are said to have told guards they were hoping to get to Spain, where one of them has a daughter living.
Cubans only need their passports to visit Russia for tourism but cannot enter the EU legally without a visa.

A possible angler on the river Narva in Russia or a guy with a stick trying to puncture the Cubans' airbeds.
You decide.

Tens of thousands of people have tried over the past 60 years to flee Communist Cuba but more usually leave the
Caribbean island for the US, travelling by boat and ship, often at great personal risk. The three people caught on
the River Narva in Russia were placed in a holding centre for migrants near the city of St Petersburg, and given
a fine and deportation order.

Border guards have given few details of the three, saying only that they are Cuban citizens born in 1968, 1970 and 1992.
They had planned their crossing after carefully studying the local terrain and getting the air beds, the guards said.
Bags containing personal belongings, toiletries and identity papers were found with them.

Cuba was a Spanish colony until 1898 and Spain has a long-established Cuban community.
Migrants have occasionally tried to cross the Narva from Russia before. In 2018, a man claiming to be an Egyptian was
rescued from drowning by Estonian border guards in 2018 when he tried to swim over.

Moscow's relations with Estonia, which was part of the USSR until 1991, have been strained for years, and Nato keeps
combat forces in its small member state to deter any potential military action by Russia...'
