THE BBC AND WAYCISM:
Beat the drum, light the lights, we have nothing to hit but the heights – or lows of the BBC. Could anything knock Covid19 off the top of the news on Wireless 4 – could anything cause more vocal distress to Justin Webb, Evan Davis and Sarah Montague? – surely that would be impossible. It has occupied their every waking hour for weeks. Oh yes – it could: Welcome to the new BBC Wireless 4 cause of the week – Racism in general and George Floyd in particular. Hours have been spent going on about Trump, tear gas and Bibles. Dame Kweer has been reported favourably as being “surprised” Boris has had nothing to say about George (unlike Dame Kweer he has more pressing worries than what his idiots Lammy and Phillips might say next without thinking, which they never do, and which dick to suck next). This morning they struck rock bottom. Just after the Shipping Forecast (I am still interested even after all these years) comes a programme called Prayer For the Day where for two minutes an Imam, or Sikh, or, if you are talking mainstream religion, a woman will attitudenise for two minutes. This week it is an American woman of colour – a Canon no less (they love American wimmin of colour on Wireless 4, especially pseudo intellctuals like Bonny Greer) and she told us in VERY SERIOUS tones that “racism is a sin”. There was a bit about white privledge as well in there somewhere. Just to show how Wireless 4 is pure, and entirely free of sin, later today at midday they will be broadcasting “Girl, Woman, Other” a daily misery memoir reading for two weeks about – well, American wimmin of colour. If you miss it then it is on again tonight at 2245, so you have a chance to improve your aim then.
I long for the days when the BBC entertained rather than preached – as Dr Johnson might have said “The BBC preaching sir?, The BBC preaching is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It is not done well – one wonders it is done at all”.
The old broad this morning sounded a right old battleaxe. She might have been Les Dawson’s mother-in-law “The wife’s mother came round again last night. After a short struggle we were able to sedate her again”.

A back to normal cunting (away from cummingsgate) for the Jaden Moodie affair.
The report has been released into the circumstances leading up to the ‘aspiring whatever’ 14 year old knocked off his moped and murdered. The original coverage last year was of an innocent child killed on the streets of London.
The report (I haven’t seen it) apparently focuses on the missed opportunities to safeguard this child, the facts leading up to the murder are described as such.
Jaden’s father was a drug dealer and deported to Jamaica in 2009 so he was with his single mum in Nottingham, when Jaden started secondary school in 2015 he was in trouble from the start for bullying, he was taken out of school and home schooled by his mum but during this period he was getting into drug dealing and eventually his mum was threatened at knife point because Jaden owed money.
Mum and Jaden fucked off out of Nottingham to London, whitest waiting for housing Jaden stayed with his Grandmother (in Leyton, enough said), Mum was ‘sofa surfing’ and in the final months before his murder Jaden had fucked off to Bournemouth selling drugs, he was arrested and returned to Leyton. There was also the exclusion from his London school in 2018 because of an Instagram picture of him holding a gun in his school uniform.
So what’s this all about, it’s the authorities fault for missing opportunities to intervene at several stages in this sorry saga, but what about his mothers responsibility.
When she was threatened in Nottingham over drugs why then move to East London, why not contact a womens refuge or police who may have been able to move her to somewhere where they could be monitored and not a drug infested shit hole.
She leaves the sprog with the Grandmother and sits on her arse waiting for a home, so no responsibility then, why not sofa surf with the Grandmother.
It all sounds too easy to blame everyone except the parent.
