Commonwealth Games 2022

30jul22 0v9 work in progress

WORK IN PROGRESS  - this will be continuously updated and links added . When I am happy I have reached basecamp, I will declare version 1.0. I will be using external links in the way Tim Berners Lee intended at the start of the web, but that has now become much less popular with site creators who want to cling jealously to their visitors, and not risk sending them away down a "competitive" rabbit hole.

I'm not sure what was more excruciating about the BBC coverage of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony - the contrived storyline - or the enthusiasm of the BBC commentary to explain the obtuse and embarrassing symbolism. 

It was bigoted, racist, presumptive, intolerant. It was a carefully assembled barrage of biased propaganda. An insulting celebration of discrimination, delusion, and dysfunction. But an appropriate swansong for Nadine Dorries' time as Culture Secretary at DCMS and her boss - who has tolerated and protected rampant incompetence and the steady erosion of British culture at the hands of the liberal elite "blob" that drives the BBC and other mainstream media, Whitehall and Westminster.

How many times have we been told that there are more medals for women's events than men this time? I don't think we have heard anyone explain which events these represent. Did the organizing committee sneak in flower arranging and embroidery? OK, OK ... I can hear the howls of indignation! Unlike the BBC, I am eager to make fun of this ludicrous carnival of the absurd ... and read the room.

 

Knitting is of course now famously the province of Tom Daley, whose absence from competition was explained by his decision to spend a year out with his husband and son. But Tom was still given a platform to promote LGBT activism, to shame the half of the Commonwealth that is still to decriminalise homosexuality. 

Of course, no representatives of any country - mostly elected democracies - were given an opportunity to explain why they choose to support their traditional family and religious values. 

And what's to stop the winner of an event declaring a sudden gender change as they step up to the podium, in diverse, inclusive, liberated and enlightened Birmingham?

The fact that shooting sports were dropped from these games was not mentioned, although of course Birmingham was the centre of British arms manufacturer for centuries and the BSA company is an acronym of Birmingham Small Arms.

But guns are nasty, violent noisy things. Not the sort of things sensitive woke warriors would want to be associated with. So in defiance of tradition since introduction in1966 - when they were not segregated by gender (!) - they should not now be allowed as sporting events, but reserved for the streets outside, where Birmingham gang and gun culture is alive and well....

The  takeover of British culture by unelected liberal elites that have comprehensively taken control of the BBC, C4, advertising, marketing and the Arts and education establishments to brainwash generations of kids and replace all critical functions with programmed submission to the "narrative|", is complete. 

The BBC's determination to promote and perpetuate the fear of fossil-based climate change featured during the process, the fact it remains a disputed hypothesis was  of course not mentioned; a folly that has handed control of the global economy to despot dictators that control essential fossil energy.

And there is now no one left that is willing and able to step back and question just what dangerous nonsense that the BBC is eager to propagate. Nadine Dorries has been an inept disaster in charge at DCMS.

Adding financial injury to cultural insult, these games are allocated £800m of public money - that's around £80 million a day.

The failure of Boris to arrange a government that could get any sort of grip on this corrosive process, means he has allowed the cabal of vociferous minorities to take charge of the UK through a process of subversion carried out in plain sight.

The net result is we are now engaged in an energy crisis that affects absolutely every aspect of life, and that can only be resolved by equipping the Ukraine army to defeat Russia and pray that Putin is replaced by a more reasonable leader that might allow Europe to survive the coming winter, before he nukes us.

The very ultimate irony appears to be that a significant proportion of the people would prefer the dilettante who has presided over this shocking state of affairs for the last few years should remain as leader, since the alternatives are looking so unimpressive.

You could not make it up.

You don't have to watch, but it's a good way to recharge your outrage and indignation at the way the "blob" and BBC in particular has taken charge of the social agenda, and driven us all off a cliff into the abyss of mediocrity. There must surely soon be a big effort to create an alternative political party in this country now that the "common sense conservative silent majority" has no representation.
