Good lads the Nutters, how they keep going with all that ale inside them I've no idea. Long may they carry on exactly as they are now, showing two fingers to the moronic PC Brigades.

"‘NHS Lanarkshire does not recognise the term “code black”. However... as we are at critical occupancy levels and due to the overall pressure on the whole health system in Lanarkshire we have moved to the highest risk level, which is Black.’"

Just another day in the asylum.

"NASA: “It has become clear that certain cosmic nicknames are not only insensitive but can be actively harmful. NASA is examining its use of unofficial terminology for cosmic objects as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion….The Agency will be working with diversity, inclusion, and equity experts in the astronomical and physical sciences to provide guidance and recommendations for other nicknames and terms for review.”

“NASA will no longer refer to planetary nebula NGC 2392 as the “Eskimo Nebula.” “Eskimo” is widely viewed as a colonial term with a racist history, imposed on the indigenous people of Arctic regions.” – “NASA will also no longer use the term ‘Siamese Twins Galaxy’ to refer to a pair of spiral galaxies.”

Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at Headquarters in Washington DC squeaked: “Our goal is that all names are aligned with our values of diversity and inclusion, and we’ll proactively work with the scientific community to help ensure that.”

On second reading BT, I'm not convinced it's not a wind-up, but that's the problem these days, you can't tell the difference.

I managed to watch a few minutes of "A question of sport" before I had to seek entertainment elsewhere, the new team captains although PC were lacking in "character" and as for PMcG he is just interested in trying to appear funny rather than interacting with the teams. Forced humour and soulless, the show has been de-natured.

The BBC:

The BBC has refused to admit the first Arab gold medallist at this year’s Paralympics was Israeli in the latest slip-up by its Arabic language service.
Iyad Shalabi won the 100m backstroke final on 25 August, making him the first Arab Paralympian to claim gold at Tokyo.

Shalabi, 34 is the first Arab-Israeli citizen to win an individual medal in either the Paralympics or the Olympics. Born deaf-mute, aged 13 he was left paralysed after an accident.

But BBC Arabic coverage seemed to erase his achievement. It reported Jordanian weightlifter Omar Qaradah was “the first Arab with special needs to win a gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympic Games”, though his victory came on 26 August, the day after Shalabi’s.
In an article entitled “The most distinguished Arabs who grabbed the spotlight at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo”, the BBC failed to mention Shalabi at all.

The BBC’s Tokyo Roundup credited Qarada as “first Arab” to win a Paralympic medal in Tokyo. The false claim was repeated twice on BBC Arabic’s YouTube page, and in its Trending programme.

The BBC previously apologised for bias in the same show, after fawning coverage of a terrorist who masterminded the killing of 15 Israelis in 2001.
Head of the World Service Jamie Angus admitted to there having been a “lapse in [its] editorial standards”. In February, the JC revealed a pattern of anti-Israel bias and inaccuracies in the BBC’s Arabic output.

The corporation acknowledged having made 25 mistakes in Arabic coverage of Israel in just over two years.

After a complaint by Israeli media watchdog CAMERA Arabic, the BBC amended its Paralympics coverage but still without mentioning the Israeli victory, changing “first Arab” to “first delegate of an Arab country”.

A CAMERA Arabic spokesman said that “while the inaccuracy may seem small, the BBC’s reluctance to even mention or count an Arab Israeli athlete’s victory prevents its Arabic-speaking audience from knowing that Israel was represented by an Arab at all. In fact he won gold for Israel.

“It’s a method of denying normalisation between Israel and Arab states.”
