“Noel Edmonds criticises BBC for spending too much money on Welsh language”
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/noel-edmonds-criticises-bbc-spending-6844611?
He’s not wrong, you can add BBC Alba, 1xtra and the Asian Network to that list as well. The same goes for local radio, which seems even more diverse than national TV and radio.
As far as I’m concerned BBC Local Radio can have its own Breakfast and Drivetime shows, but for the rest of the day simulcast with Radio 2 or 5 with hourly opt outs for local news and weather or in times of emergency such as bad weather.
I’m not a big Edmonds fan, but give me a Saturday night with him and Jim Davidson on the box over The Voice, National Lottery generic quiz and Casualty from diverse central anytime…..
I see the bBC has yet another anti-British article :
Myanmar’s Indian independence veterans demand recognition
“Veteran Indian soldiers in Myanmar who took up arms to fight against the British to secure Indian independence are demanding that they should qualify for a freedom fighter pension from the Indian government. Thousands of Indian soldiers joined a militia formed by charismatic Bengali leader Subash Chandra Bose in the final years of the independence struggle. With help from Hitler and imperial Japan he formed the Indian National Army (INA)
Gee i see that the bBC has no problem reinventing Hitler as just somebody who wanted to end British imperial Rule. I wonder who else the bBC will bring out next in which to attack the British people?
So just how big was this band of freedom fighters who took up arms against the British. Why at its largest is came in at 40K and where did the Japanese find these people, why they found them in POW camps and turned them. (Just like the gay paedophiles at the bBC love to turn over little children and fuck them up the arse)
The bBC the traitors within our midst
A Blackpool school in the news again:
Excluded: the schoolboy who demanded more homework
Must be the wrong type of rebel for the BBC. Searching “Aaron Parfitt” brings up nothing.
“Aaron”? Hmmmmm….
Yes, BBC-NUJ can’t even find space for this on its so-called ‘Education & Family’ news online pages-
‘Daily Mail’-
“Schoolboy, 14, excluded from lessons for organising mass walkout over a LACK of homework.
“Aaron Parfitt organised protest over concerns about standards of teaching.
“He led 100 pupils at Bispham High School in Blackpool on a mass walkout.
“Teachers were unhappy and banned him from lessons for two days last week.
“He now claims to have been excluded again over last Wednesday’s protest.”
By JOHN HALL.

Is BBC-NUJ more concerned with being politically sympathetic to the ‘human rights’ of the organised National Union of Teachers, than with human rights of non-organised school children?
To be fair, John Humphrys did mention this story by way of the review of the papers this morning(7.40am or so).
And that was it!
As a teacher,Aaron is really onto something-and has OFSTED, Blackpool, Council, his head, head of maths and head of year and all on the same skewer.
Brilliant-but isn`t it funny that all those Little Red Book hippies of alternative education in the 60s have all left the field, and are busy clutching tumbleweed?
Real “Student Power” was supposed to screw Boyson and The Man!…and NOT caring sharing Labour fiction factories, drugs dens and bully pulpits that Blair left us with!
Hence the terrified hush up from the BBC-like the License Fee refusniks…if they tell us all, why who knows what the plebs and oiks will want next?….
Fun times!
Beeboids don’t mention that both Blackpool and Lancashire County Councils are Labour Party controlled.
High ‘culture’ for dumbed-down Beeboids at £1 billion HQ:-
“BBC gives new £1bn Broadcasting House an EastEnders makeover 18 months after opening”
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bbc-gives-new-1bn-broadcasting-3256024#ixzz2wJnynAs5
A Jurassic Park theme would be more appropriate.
‘”There was a strong feedback from staff that the sixth and seventh floors lacked character.”
Interesting presumption that this was referring to the decorative state as opposed to inhabitants.
It sounds like a joke but it is not. This behaviour alone disqualifies the BBC from being taken seriously. It is also taxpayers money.
Not that this matters to them anymore. Money is something that grows on the trees in the foyer of the building. At least that is what the beeboid seems to think.
Eastenders is just about their level now. I am surprised they don’t want to show it 24/7.
What a useless bunch they are.
“BBC says decriminalising non-payment of licence fee is a ‘huge risk.’
“Amendment to deregulation bill would cost corporation up to £200m a year and lead to channels being axed, director argues.”
By Tara Conlan.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/mar/18/bbc-decriminalising-non-payment-licence-fee-huge-risk?
Not going too well in the comments so far. They may need to hire a few more special ops guys from the off-books budget.
Had to love this;
‘A BBC spokesman said: “Our position is the same as laid out by James Purnell. ‘
Last I heard, Mr. Purnell was a BBC employee too.
Hence they may as well have said ‘The BBC agrees with itself. Again.’
This line is starting to come across as a bit ragged round the credibility edges.
“Almost 150 MPs back amendment to deregulation bill, despite BBC saying it would cost up to £200m a year in lost revenue”
Despite?
“…and lead to channels being axed”.
So what. The BBC better move with the times or face extinction. An early twentieth century model of funding in a digital age is a non runner.
How about a bloke with a red flag walking in front of your car?
How about a bloke with a red flag walking in front of your car?
A new law for BBC staff cars, from 2018.
This would be to warn other road users that the occupant of the BBC staff car was a flag waving socialist.
For a bunch of bleeding hearts agonising over police /whatever brutality and this offence against liberalism or that offence against liberalism the sight of this vile organisation attempting to keep on criminalising the poor and defenceless is more that I can stand.
Time to end it and soon. it is no longer “fit for purpose ‘ in the 21st century.
Some reports are saying that a low flying plane was sighted over the Maldives. I doubt the BBC would want to report this as the Maldives is an Islamic state where to become a citizen you must convert to Islam.
and I quote –
“The Charter
The Royal Charter is the constitutional basis for the BBC. It sets out the public purposes of the BBC, guarantees its independence, and outlines the duties of the Trust and the Executive Board”
Believe that and I’ve a bridge to sell to you!
Prepare for 10 days of the coalition getting an easy ride on news bulletins and in interviews as the vote for decriminalising licence fee evaders looms. I think it has started.
It seems that some within the BBC have grasped that the era of Capt. Picard pronouncements about the BBC by the BBC are not really cutting it in the ‘make it so’ department any longer.
So they have been galvanised into market rate action, if sadly on an ongoing droite de seigneur basis.
http://tradingaswdr.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/scales-of-justice.html
Sadly their moves to carrot and stick have so far rather tanked, with the stick simply pissing friends of the family off and the carrot being hardly of interest to anyone.
A long-grass committee may once have worked on ‘Yes, Minster’ but… no longer.
The author is a BBC fan at heart, so his concluding para lacks the imagination required to get head around how folk not wedded to the BBC’s unique role may view matters, but I did like this (I’ve editted out the bit I didn’t think added to my narrative, BBC-styly):
‘…[who can] think of other ways the BBC could save £200m before cutting more channels – probably including Jim’s department and its Public Affairs team.’
The law of unintended consequences with this one strong is.
‘This could cost the BBC £200 million and services would have to be cut’.
Hmmm … services.
Anyone think of anything else the droids could cut before they got to ‘services’?
Let’s start with 95% off Lineker’s salary. There’s £1.9 million of the £200 million already, and I haven’t even started thinking about it.
‘New offices, new team, new problems !!!!’
W1A
Yes it’s a new comedy from the droids, laughing at ourselves (but not really), full of lots of in-jokes. A comedy made by the BBC for the BBC; and, unfortunately, paid for by us.
New yawn.
(Same old yawn actually).
A corny satire about BBC bias against the Cornish.

“I have come to the conclusion that this repeated offending from a person in a position of trust merits a term of imprisonment that crosses the custodial threshold”
“you have been removed from any employment you have known. You are no longer teaching, you are suffering ill-health and are due to undergo surgical intervention”
.oh! … so that’s all right then?

BBC ……………………………………………………………?
did find this though
Is it safe for children to study the Koran online?
as apparently, if they do they can easily get ahem … “radicalised”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23060976
hmmm if your “religion” is truly peaceful
being more extreme is a non issue
I wonder why the bBC hasn’t got round to reporting this , they don’t seem to have any issues when the twat is a priest or a tory MP, but when its a Muslim, a labour MP or even a bBC presenter, then its all quiet on the western front.
Articles about “BBC Censorship” are very popular at the moment, they must be being passed around, so the BBC is only helping to confirm to the article reader and BBC viewer that the BBC is biased through a policy of censorship.
Or this story:
Muslim woman, 22, who refused to remove niqab in court jailed for six months for terrorising mosque security guard because he allowed non-Muslim women inside
You’d think they would be interested seeing as she was also jailed last week with her husband last week.

ps
if you check BBC England news, the regions news, look for North West, find the Lancashire section, the BBC now has a small link, to some local paper tucked away at the bottom of the page
Hopefully the BBC’s environmental experts and warmists will pick this news up. Will Greenpeace send one of their divisions to combat pot smokers?
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/03/17/earth-going-to-pot-marijuana-grows-in-california-produce-more-carbon-than-3-million-cars/
Garbage…. It’s what to expect from BBC Reporting (Nationalist) Scotland:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-26550736
“Thanks to the 1995 Holywood blockbuster Braveheart, many people are familiar with the Scottish wars of independence, fought between the late 13th and early 14th centuries.”
In the same way, I suppose, that Amadeus made people familiar with Mozart and Salieri.
Is it just me or do the BBc seem to be getting into more and more of a tizz wizz with the Ukraine situation. BBc ended the 18:00 “news” with Russia has extended it’s territory for the first time since the war” or words to that effect.
The entire liberal elites are in a real state. Liberal intervention Iraq style is one thing but Russia?
Putin has called the bluff of the stupid liberal West establishment.
Will they learn from it?
Of course not.
Putin is s**t scared of Obama. NOT.
Sometimes interesting, always provocative, the author can on occasion can have more value in what the comments to his posts develop.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100264042/the-trouble-with-the-bbc-isnt-that-it-is-one-sidedly-political-but-that-it-is-firmly-snootily-anti-political/
Personally, for a supposedly genetically impartial professional media monopoly, that the BBC is one sidedly political on almost every topic, in a singular direction, is actually a bit troubling.
He seems seduced by the balance of averages pumped out by the BBC PR machine, which is odd as he’s usually a wee bit smarter and more cynical to be suckered by that notion.
Wonder if this will get a mention on the BBC’s ‘Big’ Questions on Sunday?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2583243/Islamic-teacher-sexually-abused-girl-11-taught-Koran-spared-jail-hes-benefits-wife-doesnt-speak-English.html
One law for them, another for us.
An asset, surely?
Re: More gay drama on the BBC…
Well they’re certainly keeping their end up in quiz shows.
Not sure if ends are kept up in this context, but the Only Connect Sport Relief edition featured: Clare Balding, Alice Arnold, and Val McDermid. Are the Beeb aiming at 50% representation?
Never mind, Charlie Brooker was there, representing hetero males, looking like he’d be turned away at a Salvation Army hostel for being too scruffy.
Sounds like the motherlode ! Only needing the remaining two spaces to be taken up by Prickstocke and one of Hardy/Toksvig/’Twitchy Mitchy’ Benn to complete the set.
Not at all sorry that Mrs Bug insisted on our watching Mary Berry stuffing cakes down her maw instead. 🙂
Not relevant to the inbbc, but only to lefty teaching methods:
Neighbour recounted to me over the weekend, about his 10 yr old daughter’s discipline at school.
Lets say his girl is child A
And there are 2 others, say B and C
They have a teacher led discussion about the coming summer months and what things they can do during any hot weather. No I dont know if that was linked to Global warming or not.
However, child B pipes up with : I know we can have some iced lollies!
At which point child C says, oh no, that isn’t fair, some people dont like iced lollies.
Child A ( his daughter) says, well, those who dont like them dont have one then.
Now there’s the lefty problem: teacher gives child A a verbal bollocking for having such a disgusting attitude.
Can you see how this prejudice can only cut one way. The git who wanted to deny everyone should have had the telling off.
But cant you just see how child C has learned that is how to earn himself some browny points with teacher. They have gotten to him at an early stage, and he’s well on his way to being a bbc employee.
Child A by the way, will soon have a new school.
Will it be any better? Doubt it.
Jon Pienaar discussing Cameron’s child care costs scheme on 5 Live today.
“…and the pitch is that it is helping families with the cost of living – to deal with the cost of living crisis as we all now describe it”.
All, Jon. Not me, Jon. All at the BBC, Jon? Plus Labour of course.
Surprised the BBC is not all in favour of this. The sight of a stay at home mother must be very upsetting to the average liberal.
Not the natural order of things in the liberal’s brave new world.
Nor Cameron’s either.
I really do not like that man.

Not INBBC political territory?:-
“UK Qur’an teacher who sexually abused 11-year-old girl spared jail because his wife doesn’t speak English”

Beeboids barely report on Canada, let alone on the impact of the Islamic presence there, so they avoid this:-
“Honor Killing: Muslim ‘slit wife’s throat in front of their daughter,’ court told”
– See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2014/03/honor-killing-muslim-slit-wifes-throat-front-daughter-court-told.html/#sthash.7eMIK5eW.dpuf
Will Beeboids report the following, if only to show their interest in a Muslim rapper?:-
“Netherlands: Muslim rapper threatens to murder Geert Wilders”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/03/netherlands-muslim-rapper-threatens-to-murder-geert-wilders
A review of-
“Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me”

Update for INBBC, for BBC Arabic TV, and BBC Asian Network:
Islamic Jihad in IRAQ:-
“The Sunni revolt in Syria has given al-Qa’ida more power in Iraq.
“In the third part of his series, Patrick Cockburn looks at the growing influence of Isis, al-Qa’ida’s force in Iraq, which dominates Sunni areas and is wreaking havoc among the Shia majority.”
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/the-sunni-revolt-in-syria-has-given-alqaida-more-power-in-iraq-9200376.html
Qatar.
Front page headline of Wednesday’s ‘Telegraph’:
“Demands to strip Qatar of the 2022 World Cup.”
Will Beeboids support Qatar because of their mutual political interest in the Islamic Al Jazeera broadcaster, and in the Muslim Brotherhood?
This latest headline-as-a-question (now a staple of most BBC social media posts) one seems to have either freaked out or miffed more than a few. Interesting precedent going for an ‘ism in such a way setting targeting against self-selection. As Nick might coin, #justsayin.
