Jane Bradley, producer at BBC London TV News, tweeting yesterday:
She’s your typical Guardian-reading BBC lefty, but don’t just take my word for it:
I notice that she groups the BBC journalists in with all the other lefties.
Also, check out Ros Ball from BBC Parliament. Gender politics is her thing. Likes – female Marxist historians on the BBC and mooncups. Dislikes – Tories and, er, Doris Day.
Whip crack-away!
So what can be so offensive about the film Calamity Jane? It’s donkeys since I’ve seen it; but from what I remember it is about a really tough woman, one who is as tough as the men, but remains a woman. In other words the left hate to think that any woman can love a man and remain true to their feminist ideals.
These lefties are so sexist and heterophobic.
My granddaughters LOVE Calamity Jane.
I see one of Jane Bradley’s parents is Arab, from all the tweeting she does.
How much time do they actually WORK ?
That’s the first box ticked then!
Can’t help chuckling at the ‘good journos’ comment: I assume she means the sort of journos who know that ‘outside of’ is incorrect, and know how to use it’s/its.
Meanwhile in New York –
BBC-NUJ-Democrat, embedded with ‘Occupy’, gets British licencepayers to fund these six specific examples of political propaganda

‘The Blaze’ has a different take:
Arab Spring Veteran Hails “‘Revolution’ in America: Reporting From Inside Occupy Wall Street’s General Assembly”
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/arab-spring-veteran-hails-revolution-in-america-reporting-from-inside-occupy-wall-streets-general-assembly/
What on earth is the purpose of that vacuous article ? Probably accounted for his whole week’s output. What mugswe all are to pay for this trash.
The BBC is studiously avoiding all the anti-Semites, the violence inherent in the effigies on spikes, the people shitting on police cars. As Mary Katharine Ham tweeted yesterday: “Imagine a world in which Tea Partiers clogged a bridge in urban area & crapped on a cop car & it was not THE ONLY STORY on TV.”
Yes, just imagine if someone at a Tea Party rally had taken a dump on a police car. How many times do you suppose THAT would’ve been mentioned across the BBC empire?
The BBC dumps on Britain every day.
The point is to tell you that these people are on the side of the angels, and truly representative of the US public. Exactly the opposite of how the BBC treated Tea Party people.
Oh, and did you notice they’re all white? Curious that the BBC hasn’t bothered to point that out. Exactly the opposite of how the BBC treated Tea Party people.
Now that is a seriously good point, and thus one that the BBC will carefully ignore. maybe they will ask Herman Cain for a comment!
totally off topic,but
was listening in the car to some fool bint on radio Ulster telling people how totally terrific the bbc is and how it shouldn’t be cut blah blah blah
anyway-i almost had to stop the car and clean the windscreen when she came out with this corker
“when you see John Simpson and Jeremy Bowen,you knopw you’re getting the real deal”
you got that right dearie-dyed in the wool rabid lefty jew hating scum-for real
I almost exploded with laughter
I love Calamity Jane. I lovDoris Day. I FUCKING hate the BBC. White male, 60.
Lefty Beeboids ignore, and are apparently willing to condone, the main enemy of British people: the Islamic jihadists within
“200 suicide bombers ‘planning attacks in UK'”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/8815574/200-suicide-bombers-planning-attacks-in-UK.html
Looking at the list of who Ros Ball follows, it looks like she’d better ask Jane ‘11,139 Tweets And Counting’ Bradley for any recommendations she gets. Ros’s list also largely consists of ‘Guardian’ writers, feminists, green campaign groups, Labour Party types, anti-Daily Mail sites, etc.
Keep at ’em DB.
Old joke revisited.
Person 1: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the BBC?
Person 2: Yes, make sure you’ve got a sound grounding in left-wing politics.
DB
I love these tweet trails you keep digging up – so revealing !
Thanks John. What’s disturbing is just how easy it is to find this stuff.
And also how oblivious they are to their own guidelines. There is not even an attempt to hide their political leanings.
“In some cases, you will need to consider the risk that “retweeting” of third party content by the BBC may appear to be an endorsement of the original author’s point of view.”
http://www.reportr.net/2010/05/18/revised-bbc-social-media-guidelines-offer-practical-advice/
Its not the re-tweeting that endorses the leftist credentials, it’s their own tweets that confirm them.
Note also
“Even if they are not identified as a BBC staff member, editorial staff and staff in politically sensitive areas should not be seen to support any political party or cause.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines/page/guidance-blogs-personal-full
If I ignored all the rules and regulations of my employer I would be sacked. That these people can associate with hard line leftists protests and not face any consequence at all, proves to me that the guidelines mean that even the top brass at the BBC have no intention of keeping to them.
What a ship of fools this lot are.
Useless idiots who use their own wind to sail by…navigating themselves onto the rocks and rather hoping that we`ll chuck our kids over the side if they ask nicely enough.
Way too much inbreeding /turkey basters up there on the lounge deck…cruising inexorably into Iranian waters tweeting all about Steve Jobs or nasty Rupert!
If they had any brains between them-or any chill blast of clear thinking even-they`d be dangerous…as it is, we`re as foolish as they are if we continue to let them squat over our culture as if they had anything to offer but a bloated shadow!
At least Stalins idiots were useful to him…these useless ones that we have are mere maggots and proved uselss every day…and still we pay them!
We need to clear the dead wood – stage a revolt against the BBC. I’ve got high hopes that our day will come. I’m sure BBC employees will say don’t be mean to me, but to them I say que sera sera – anything you can do can be done better.
Doris Day would be chuffed with your revolutionary anthem DB!
I notice like most beeboids she’s an iPhone user. I wonder if she knows how much Apple pay its Chinese workers? Not very left wing, oh and of course the massive CO2 pollution caused by churning out these plastic products every 12 months and shipping them over to Europe.
You can see this ugly hag in action
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7816141.stm
Well, there’s a surprise. She’s talking about the suffragettes!
Jesus Christ !
Loved the line…
‘….knocked down by the King’s horse while protesting…”
How about, ‘ducked under the barrier and ran in front of galloping race horses in an act of supreme recklessness’
Yet she supported the public sector by buying a return ticket…so was a martyr for the TUC in defence of RMT jobs at the time!
Surely she should have been issued with a high viz vest as well…wonder if there are any Beeboids seeeing a chance for some compo show for her pale descendents…or was she childless which would ,of course; make her our first lesbian martyr by Jane Garvey Maxim No 1!
Anyway…that poor horse…so maybe the Animal rights lot might seek compo for Dobbin!
All so confusing isn`t it?…but what`s the point in being a king if your horse can`t run without some harpie with a hatpin and no brains?…hope the BBC might give me the gig for this one!
“She (Emily Pankhurst) died when she was knocked over by the King’s horse while protesting”.
Strewth, they never let up, do they? Yes, the King saw Emily Pankhurst out for a stroll one day and knocked her down with his horse and killed her for being a feminist.
If it wasn’t for Ros everyone might still think Emily Pankhurst died because she flung herself in front of the King’s horse during a race. Now we can be pro-feminist and anti-Monarchist all at the same time.
The BBC: A mission to talk cobblers.
What is so obvious is that anyone knows that the woman deliberately threw herself under the hooves. At the time, a very brave act. For her cause, getting the vote for women, Which a male Parliament was resisting.
This stupid woman cannot even tell the truth – the truth that we all know. She DEMEANS the sacrifice of life, making it see like an accident.
Now that, to me, is anti-feminist. But she is too bloody dumb to see it, too damn dumb to understand the meaning of words.
And we are being forced to pay what – £40K a year plus expenses, with overheads including office space, pension etc more like £100K a year – for such pig-ignorance and bias.
………………………………
Yo Dez, Scotty, etc – we miss you.
As you say so vividly – the BBC is squatting over our culture like an incubus – and undermining it at the same time.
OT
I don’t watch live TV these days – I just trawl through eg BBC iPlayer once a week to check if there was anything worth looking at. Today, as usual, I found just 3 programmes on 4 channels of BBC TV over 7 days.
iPlayer shows very clearly how much of the BBC stuff is either old repeats or repeats of the current week recycled a couple of days later. There is maybe enough “original” programming to fill 2 TV channels max. (Much of it total dross, of course).
The BBC review should have axed Channels 3 and 4.
Someone remarked the other day about the glory days of BBC 2 – the great programming David Attenborough as Channel Director sposored.
How are the mighty fallen.
………………………….
I know there would be copyright issues, but if someone gave me a budget of a few tens of thousands a year I could compose a better video channel from random trawls of YouTube and selections from the Internet.
eg
US News Hour
– clips from RealClearPolitics, DailyCaller and Breitbart for the right-wing stuff, and from HuffPo etc for the lefties – I would provide more scrupulous balance than the BBC does because it is NOT in their genes. Probably for one ten-thousandth of what Lardy Mardy and his US-based gang costs.
eg Introducing Herman Cain – Yes We Cain :
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/07/herman_cain_addresses_the_values_voter_summit.html
What “OccupyWallStreet” is really about :
http://www.breitbart.tv/defecate-wall-street-protesters-trash-gotham-defecate-on-nypd-car/
http://www.breitbart.tv/occupy-atlanta-mob-refuses-to-allow-civil-rights-hero-john-lewis-to-speak/
Travel Hour – YouTube clips from all over the world
eg Aitutaki Lagoon (20km across) in the South Pacific :
and by contrast, Annapurna Sanctuary in Nepal, an “amphitheatre” surrounded by peaks of 6, 7 and 8000 metres :
Arts Hour :
eg La Stupenda :
and Joan Sutherland with Pavorotti, also from Lucia di Lammermoor :
and maybe a bit of Olivier :
or the Cassius plotting monologue from Julius Caesar :
………………………………..
and as an example of cute children’s programming, things like this :
…………………….
etc – maybe with a cribbed news-headlines slot every hour.
Easy-Peasy – that lot took about 20 minutes to string together, and every “classic” YouTube link has dozens of othert links for further programmes
So who needs £ 4 billion a year to”Deliver Quality” back on screen ?
‘..but Jesus, it’s offensive’ (talking presumably about DD in ‘Calamity Jane’).
In itself the use of ‘Jesus’ in that context is highly offensive to a lot of the folk she relies on to pay her wages.
The BBC reaction was typified in interview with Doris Day by Rebecca Jones (Arts correspondent):
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9567000/9567248.stm
Doris Day, did you ever get fed up ….?
Doris: No. I liked it the way it was!.
Elsewhere on BBC site:
“She may lack sex (and camp) appeal but when talking about the Magic Of Doris Day then…”
Sex and camp…tres BBC!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/xfqv
All in all, Doris is , in BBC metrosexual eyes, a bit of a kipper.
PS She is my Mum’s age. I recognise a lot of the instinctive cheerfulness and ‘wholesomeness’ in many of her generation that want through real privations in the war years and bounced back.
What’s not to like about the movie Calamity Jane ? Amusing plot, some great oldie stars, some cracking songs well sung.
The average hour of BBC has about 1/100th worth of real foot-tapping entertainment.
and I understand that Doris Day IS a gay icon. (or so Martin tells me)
And she starred with Rock Hudson….
“I call him Ernie because he’s certainly no Rock”.
Doris Day – 1980
Yes I find it offensive. I expect if the term was “Muhamed” it would have been a criminal offence to utter it by now.
“Calamity Jane” is entertaining. Doris Day is entertaining. The BBC Entertainment Depy is not entertaining. Whip crack away!
not the only offensive thing to do with al beeb today
fat american speed dial dyke Amy lame on the big Questions this morning

must set the “record” button for that one
ROBERT BROWN; So she wonders where all the good journalists are? They have better things to do than attend back-slapping, right-on demonstrations like that, the pathetic, stupid creep of a bitch. Did you hear the News Quiz on saturday? Hardy and man-woman Sandi Tosser ‘bigging’ up the bbc and the fee of £145, saying what super value it is. Desperate stuff and very cringe worthy.
So Sandy Tostvig has actually said something funny for the first time ever: That the BBC is super value at £145.
She ought to patent that joke, it might save her career as a comedienne.
I think Sandi Toksvig is super funny! Have done for yonks.
ROBERT BROWN; I’ll give you this, she has a very infectious laugh, and yes she makes some witty observations, but, all in all, a rabid lefty all the same. Wonder what her violent viking ancestors would make of her? Run her through? Rape? Not bloody likely!
HP
Toksvig funny ? You cannot be serious. She wouldn’t last a week in any club.
Her “humour” is contrived, grating voice, she laughs at her own “jokes” – and has lived on the public teat for many years.
If I never heard her ever ever again, I would not miss her.
HP – I sometimes doubt your judgment
What I find surprising is for an organisation concerened with diversitry all the comedians come from Ox-bridge. Sandi Toksvig, Andy Hamilton, Al Murray, Steve Punt, Andy Parsons, Jimmy Carr, Stephen Fry, Sue Perkins, Clive Anderson, Nick Hancock, Alexander Armstrong, Mark Watson, David Baddiel, David Mitchell, Stewart Lee, Angus Deaton, Rowan Atkinson and on and on and on. Toksvig’s “act” is the ever popular “sneery clever posh person” as pioneered by John Cleese, then taken up by Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder), Angus Deyton, Toksvig and Jeremy Clarkson (not Oxbridge). The News Quiz needs a refresh!
Someone is worthy of esteem simply because she was a child Marxist?
It’s in their DNA. Come on, Scott, Dez, Geoff Watts, David Gregory, or anyone else lurking and waiting for the right moment to attack: explain this away. The BBC is stocked with far-Left ideologues, and it colors everything they do.
It’s the BBC folk always seeing things through their own prism.
Isn’t it enough to say that Lucy Worsley is a good TV presenter who covers interesting stuff (her recent series was about the Regency and how the Prince of Wales/then William IV deserves a better hearing, patron of the arts and all that.)
I bet she’s not a Marxist still. Sensible people grow out of that sort of thing. And what’s the point of some BBC daft floppertigibbet having a crush on her – she’s married.
Judging by her website, she has more ability and real achievement than 99% of the people at the BBC.
http://www.lucyworsley.com/
“floppertigibbet”. Thank you. I’m going to try and remember that one.
I can just imagine Richard Dawkins being displeased by the term ‘child marxist‘. What they really mean is ‘the child of marxist parents‘.
Something is missing. Oh. It’s Jane Bradley’s self awareness.
Look at me! “Too hung over to attend the lefty rally!”
Look at me! “plastic cup of cheap alcohol in hand!”
For some reason those boasts reminds me of Waynetta Slob.
“I’m smoking – a fag.” brahn baby, maybe?
I looked her up, and I think she’s just trying to look grown-up.
The edict re disclaimers on tweets: ‘These views are my own, not those of the BBC’.
Jane Bradley jauntily pares hers down to “Views my own.” That’s so confident, so jokey, so cavalier it makes you want to punch her in the face.
I still want to know why the BBC thinks putting a disclaimer will fool anyone into believing that the BBC isn’t biased? I mean, who is the BBC if not the sum of its parts?
Or is there a man behind a curtain, like the Wizard of Oz, who represents the BBC’s views? If so, can we see him sometime, and hear exactly what his views are?
Twitter is dire. I couldn’t stop thinking about Bella Freud and her incessant harping on about Palestine. She mentions her great grandfather Sigmund. That takes self loathing to new heights. If all her ‘Hitler was right ‘ mates had their way, she wouldn’t even be here. What a dope.
The disclaimer “Views are my own” is what the BBC thinks is a get-out-jail-free card on the issue of bias. What they fail to understand is that, regardless of how many times they state that these far-Left views are not official BBC positions, when the entire staff is on side, it’s impossible to claim there’s anything resembling balance or intellectual diversity at the BBC.
The constant stream of opinion expressed by Beeboids on Twitter shows there is no one there to rein it in, and it’s clearly not just the on-air talent. Possibly there are a couple of editors or senior producers who have a clue and work for some semblance of reasonableness, as Rod Liddle claims he used to be, but there’s scant evidence of it.
Is there one beeboid on twitter who expresses ¡views of their own’ that ‘right wing’?
I think they should put ‘Views my own and shared by my left wing colleagues’.
Is there one beeboid on twitter who expresses ‘views of their own’ that are discernibly ‘right wing’?
I think they should put ‘Views my own and shared by my left wing colleagues’.
The Benn family there yesterday…assorted Goldsmiths, Khans and Freuds…all that class of parasitic bien-pensants clearly take all this Islamic notion of tribes, clans and protection of cultural/political turf very seriously.
Saddam or Gadhaffi would be “honoured”….how many wives/turkey basters can you legally own if you follow three steps downwind of Galloway these days then?
What’s that you say? Another BBC employee using Twitter (invented for people who can’t shut the fuck up even when they’re on their own) to express left wing opinions? Well, I’ll be. Probably just a coincidence though. Because we know that the BBC is comitted to objectivity and neutrality. It’s, like, totally in their genes and stuff.
I can see why this woman is a feminist though. *Shudder*
I quite fancy her.
But then, I am geriatric. And pissed as a parrot after Australia’s win.
How typical of a BBC type. Too much drink stops her actually going to help the revolution so she just tells everyone else to join it while she puts her feet up in her middle class home far from the action.
It’s like the BBC’s attitude to being green or enjoying diversity. They urge others to do it but they don’t want any of it for themselves or their children, preferring an affluent, consumerist lifestyle surrounded by their own type.
Believe Mr Bragg couldn`t serenade us with “Rock the Casbah” at the Million Mad Mullahs March yesterday…think he`s got an allergy to plaid these days…or else the washing powder gave him a bit of gyp!
Presumably you can phone in your rebellion from any BUPA bed or BBC Creative Pod these days…saves on the carbon footprint doncha know!
No major racism when I grew up but my mum was the brave one…marrying an Arab in the 1960s while living on a Hull council estate
I loved the “half caste Arabs” from South Shields (as they describe themselves) – this is me but from Yorkshire!
Catching the end of an amazing doc on being mixed race in Britain. Excellent film, and I love @BBCAlagiah more than ever
Marvel at those credentials. Love to have been a fly on the wall in her BBC employment interview. Or maybe they took one look at her family history and signed her up. She is a guaranteed race-monger.
Don’t suppose “the arab” dad was (cue song) “Walk like an Egyptian”
Memo to Ros:
It’s is a contraction of ‘it is’;
Its is a possessive pronoun meaning ‘of it’ or ‘belonging to it’.
Jane Bradley sounds awfully self-satisified. Ooooh, look at us! Aren’t we freaking BRILLIANT???!!!
In the name of Gaia, please just fuck off, Jane.
(Apologies for the bad language)
Totally OT, but what’s the longest any of you have waited for BBC to reply to a complaint?
Still waiting on some after years. Which is what they rely on. And even if you do chase, the result is usually some vapid ‘sorry it’s taken so long; we were busy’ insincere brush off.
The top of the tree, in theory, is Helen ‘Hugs’ Boaden, who rather infamously was outed for claiming she has a special email to nowhere if anything does get as far as her.
This well-remunerated woman has been in the frame a lot of late.
Sadly, only interviewed by her subordinates, lest any dodgy questions sneak in.
For instance to challenge the integrity of the corrupted petri dish that is her cherished impartial staff DNA. Frankly, the whole sorry edifice that is the BBC seems to be square on top of Raccoon City, though the danger may be more to the mutants with what drips down.
Or one might ask why, for all her title and pay, not one of those underneath her seems to pay a blind bit of notice to her pathetic chummy ‘please don’t make us look bad’ emails, especially on twitter.
As this latest post shows, it remains the gift that keeps on giving, as the Waynetta wannabees air their… very dirty… laundry.
6 months
Several of my complaints from last two years have yet to receive any reply. Most replies are dismissive and if you reply to their email, there is no response, so you have to complain again and so the cycle starts over.
Well done DB! Its great to “out” the Beeboid Twatteratti – It really is astounding how these media types don’t actually understand how modern media works.. They want to have a presence and a profile to build their career and so they bleat on oblvious to the fact that everything they tweet is recorded for eternity to be analyzed by anyone forever and brought back at the click of a button. So what do we make of Jane – alcoholic, disorganised, unreliable, lack of self-control, irrational, comfortable only in her left leaning clique and doesn’t like Doris Day in Calamity Jane – nice CV jane you will fit in well at the BBC – you arsehole.. Isn’t it strange but I get the impression that like many others I can almost accept all this (I’m no saint myself but at least I have the sense to keep it to myself as opposed to announcing it to the world – note: add stupidity to Janes List) but its the fact that she dislikes Doris Day which seems to really grate. FYI: Doris Day is not just a gay icon.
Twitter! BBC so-called unbiased journos should be completely banned from it because the thing is in essence no more than an adolescent leftie ‘look at me, I’m oh so right-on’ echo chamber.
Actually I think the beeboids should carry on, they can’t help themselves and their lefty views get outed, just a shame the right wing press don’t catch on.
Twittering is anessential part of Institutional Narcisism: I am a Leftie because I care about (insert latest victim group), and I hate Tories ( broadcast tweet as proof). I must therefore be a nice person, so I feel good about myself (Narrcissus falls in love with his own reflection).
She is surrounded by people drifting in the same delusion within the media hive. They all feel good about themselves. Institutional Narcisism.
The bias shown by Ros is one hell of a find and a bigger stroy than Jane (I mean at least she’s acknowleding her own bias and trying to do something about it by exposing her to a wider range of viewpoints)
As for Ros, it’s not as if she’s some secretary or sports reporter or anything where politics is less of an issue. No she works for BBC Parliament of all things!
there is some political diversity as Lib dems get as much of a look in as labour which surprised me tbh, but it’s her feminism which reveals the most. A few feminists are in fact relatively rational and sensible people, but she’s clearly not one of those. Ros is following some of the most extreme and uptight ones:
Huge Schwyzer- the worst of the lot, every single thing he writes bascially attacks men and fathers in some way.
Cath Ellitot – one of the mroe extreme man haters at the Guardian (and that’s pretty damn impressive as there are so many)
An anti-porn project
misogyny watch
The Fawcett Society – the most dishonest and sexist pressure group ever? famous for its made up stats.
Harriet Harman – need I say any more?
No wonder the BBC is so biased when they are infested with so many staff with such ridiculous, one sidedand out of touch views
Do you remember the last election and twitter was ablaze with support for the LIB-DEMS? Particularly during the debates. Polls apparantly predicted some 30% support for them. yet when it came to the day the actual vote was the usual 20%. The thing about Twitter is that I think its a lot of people talking to themselves (mostly the left) fooling themselves that everyone is listening. I think its a large reason why Guardian print figures are tanking all these technology aware lefties are reading the paper online. ABC figures are out this week I predict a futher decline under 240000 for the Guardian.
we can but hope
At the demo we’re told “Chomsky, Pilger and Assange…” were there and “The Benn family…assorted Goldsmiths, Khans and Freuds” – Is there a better definition of HELL!
All that was missing from that lot was the turd I dropped down the pan this morning.
Those 3 names define her as being ultra-left. And totally out of step, out of touch with general public opinion.
But in her inbred, IMMATURE echo chamber they are the bees’ knees
Whilst we’re on the subject of lefty twats, I see the BBC are yet again giving U2 a load of free publicity. Forget the fact the BBC shouldn’t be plugging any pop band, U2 are not even British.
If the Beeboid lefties want something to demonstrate about, there’s Livingstone and his Islamic Republic of Iran-PRESS TV (Ealing,London) connections; oh no: they’re anti-Israel.
“‘Red’ Ken Livingstone wins the mullahs’ vote”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/london-mayor-election/8815597/Red-Ken-Livingstone-wins-the-mullahs-vote.html
I suppose Livingstone is only going with the flow .After all London is rapidly becoming a foreign city and has little to do with the rest of England.
If he wants to be mayor I can’t say I blame him.
On a more serious note this disconnection between London and England is going to be the dominant problem facing this country within a generation. There are no precedents for this and it can only bode ill.
I spend a fair amount of time in Wales and it is definitely beginning to feel different as if the people are collectively preparing for a seperate future in a Balkanised Britain.
dave s
You often post sentiments like that. I think you are right. In many parts of London it is like being in a foreign country. And even allowing for “diversity” – when I go to the East End I feel almost alien
Visited relatives in Kingsbury the other week, near where I grew up. Strangest part was at the station when the tube train doors open, there is an overwhelming smell of curry hanging in the air. The shops in the main road are virtually 100% Asian, as were most of the people in the street There must have been an awful lot of people sold up and moved to make way for the replacement population. Difficult to believe they were all “racists”: maybe they just didn’t much like being “colonised” and having diversity stuffed down their throats. As seems often the case, the replacement community is monocultural.
I lived in London up to 10 years ago and felt exotic being an Englishman.
To the assorted lotus eaters named, can I include Stephen Fry as a late entry for the pits?
Just caught the end of his “language” show…apparently we`re to glory in the rebelliousness of hip-hop rapping and not to be so…well, fuddy duddy I suppose!
Unless it is racist or hate speech as Stephen or any of his chums would judge it.
Clearly he managed to get a few BBC heroes…yes, those poor lambs who suffered institutional homophobia in the 60s.
You know….the likes of Kenneth Williams and Joe Orton who were on some reverse McCarthy list, where they got way too much work given how unfunny they were…Allan Carr Syndrome of its day!
Anyway…he`ll have no kids our Stephen so won`t be worrying about words like shanking and wilding in Homerton after pub closing…it`s that joyous celebration of rebellion that gave us things like the riots.
Guess Stephen calls them uprisings…for he can spell and read having had an education and not a beat box as his teecha!
Will these ‘lefty’ demonstrators of Trafalgar Square, London support the Christian demonstrators of Tahrir Square, Cairo who are being persecuted by Muslims and by the army and police?
Egypt: Muslim thugs, military attack Christian protestors, 19 dead
Of course, INBBC has relegated its reporting of the build up to all this, and writes off the Islamic persecution
of Christians in Egypt as mere ‘sectarian’ conflict.
The comely bint on News 24 has just been reporting this as ‘clashes between Coptic Christians and Egyptian Police. The Copts were protesting about a Church being burned in the north of the country’. Footage of burning cars in the street and disorder.
Fighting the Police eh? Setting the streets alight. Aren’t these Christians bad.
DB, if you’re going to get some of Scott’s birthday cake you best stop posting how lefty BBC tweeters are. Or ‘cyberstalking’ as he calls it. Next year he’ll have three candles to blow out on his cake.
Here’s a story about the BBC torturing a cancer patient in prison who did not pay her TV licence. Funny this was not mentioned on the BBC news.
Woman’s jail ordeal over TV licence fine
http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/local/woman_s_jail_ordeal_over_tv_licence_fine_1_2460209
That is appallng. But it is just one example of the many thoiusands of women on their own who the BBC – de facto – have sent to prison.
SCUM.
Well Dame Nikki tells us on a regular basis that no one goes to jail for not paying thier TV tax.
The most regressive of taxes.
A TV Licensing spokeswoman explained that once someone is convicted of licence evasion, their records are wiped clean and any fines are pursued purely by the courts.
So they wipe the records ?? why ? every system I know that involves possible prosecution has to keep records! well unless your pay masters want the paper trail to stop with the courts so they can announce that ‘the BBC have sent no one to prison ‘ they just make the courts do it for them !
“However, TV Licensing has a duty to uphold the law and is not able to make concessions other than those granted by Parliament.”
So [the evil Tory controlled!!]parliament set the ‘concessions’ for the BBC’s hired thugs investigations and illegal entry methods? the [baby eating cons!]government ordered the ‘concession’ that the BBC must force any one unable to pay into the legal system A.S.A.P TO BE punished and imprisoned ?
Just had a scan through some of Ros Ball’s tweets, this one is especailly illuminating:
”
Rosball Ros Ball Just broke one of my crucial Internet rules: never read the comments at the bottom of ANYTHING. (Espec articles on Playboy clubs opening) 5 Sep
So she works for the BBC and would need to know a full range of views to be able to do her job properly.
