I am sure that you, like me, were devastated to learn that the BBC’s websites all crashed earlier today. How dreadful to be spared their poison for a short while! Anyway, I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a VERY Happy New Year, thank you all for sticking with this site and making such a massive contribution to it. I wanted to extend a special thank you to Alan for ALL his efforts, without him it would be so much quieter!
As we exit 2015, I can’t honestly say I believe the BBC is any less biased but I can say with some certainly that such bias is picked up by all of you out there and eviscerated as it well deserves to be.
My very best to you all and here’s to exposing MORE rancid bias in 2016. My axe is sharpened.
Thank you for your best wishes and the same to you and all.
Whilst it certainly made a change not to have the Biased Beeb’s internet output this morning it does raise a very serious point at how my money, your money, all license fee money is not being spent on protecting the infrastructure and yet the VIth form debating society in the news room are quite happy to spend that money in other countries and on any anti establishment propaganda.
I see that the good ol’ beeb are laughing with us:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35205760
and missing the point that part of the reason we have the BBC is for times of national emergency. There can be no more urgent need for a reliable method of communicating to the general public than right now.
I shudder to think what the broadcast will be in these enlightened times, maybe “Transgenders, muslims, people of colour first, if there’s room the children, then women and lastly white heterosexual males.”
AL,
You have hit on something that I was thinking about when the BBC charter review started. In times of national crisis, the BBC does become the governments main way of communicating with the public. The licence fee should be set at a level that pays for the infrastructure and its maintenance costs in order to ensure its availability when needed. Everything else, the propaganda, ridiculous salaries, massive travel costs incurred by sending too many ‘journalists’ abroad etc should be covered by subscription (ie choice).

You’ve been having a good laugh at us. ?
#BBCdown: The memes and jokes circulating as BBC websites go offline
BBC.IN
Dear BBC – You are a joke now. I doubt 2016 will see this change much.
Looks like the hackers hit the IS propaganda machine:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35213415
Hopefully they will continue to do that on a daily basis.
Actually almost impossible to avoid a serious DOS attack unless you have almost limitless bandwidth resources.
These attacks have been used against many commercial Internet based businesses and they have to pay to stop the attack.
How this works is that (thanks to Micro$ofts dominance of the desktop) trojans are planted into personal computers and those computers then fall under the control of the trojan master becoming a Bot. The master instructs all the computers (could be millions) under his control to request web pages at a given target. The sheer volume overloads the capacity of the network and the system is unable to respond. The only solution is to have massive reserves of bandwidth on tap. This is not financially viable for any business.
The question is why did they attack the BBC.
It is possible to install intelligent software which counts IP requests and automatically reject multiple automated requests from the same IPs, and load baring for any sudden increase in requests beyond a certain percentage. Unusual jumps in traffic can be handled without losing services, if the IT department knows its arse from its elbow. Such DDOS attacks will be able to slow a site down, but not take it offline entirely.
Thanks for the site, David. We’d all be fair scunnered without it during the year (DV understands the expression).
Also while still sober I’d like to wish all my confreres plus the ladies (Thoughtful, Deborah etc) a happy and peaceful new year. I’d also like to extend the good wishes to Jerrod, just as we did with Scott, Dez , Manonthebus and Albaman in days of yore.
Have a good one, everyone 🙂
Here here, and special thanks to Alan without whose diligence and ferreting the BBC’s bent and censored version of events would be fooling 70% of the people 100% of the time.
A Very Happy 2016 to all.
There can be no more urgent need for a reliable method of communicating to the general public than right now…….
Not me, I’m watching Ice Station Zebra ! all the ipads, smart phones and other forms of twatting and face timing can be chucked in the duck pond for all I care. Once upon a time …. we only had newspapers and 3 tv channels to have the daily news, and what a nicer place it was ! – no trolls, no political correctness, clean hospitals with English speaking doctors, well mannered children, and the word ‘mosque’ was something we read about in travel brochures ; ( well apart from the Kray twins and Barbara Windsor bursting out of her bra, that is).
“As we exit 2015, I can’t honestly say I believe the BBC is any less biased”
I’d say it’s worse than ever. But also being noticed by more than ever. Fortunately for us, the BBC is too arrogant to realise this and believes itself to be untouchable. We shall see.
My impression was that the BBC was a little hesitant straight after the last general election and the forming of a Conservative government, and was especially wary following the appointment of John Whittingdale. However, he seems to have gone native or, more probably, has been told by his leader not to rock the boat. It seems to me that the BBC has now decided it has little to fear from Dave, and has reverted to type.
Happy New Year to you as well David. The same goes for all the contributors to this site including those valiant souls who come here to defend the BBC and wind up the regulars. It is important to let everybody voice their opinion. For me this is one of the great features about this site that differentiates it from so many others that are heavily moderated in order to stifle debate.
New Year is all about reflecting on the past year and also looking ahead. My prediction, based on the decline in standards throughout 2015, is that by 2018 at the latest the BBC will largely be broadcasting to itself and those who have willingly allowed themselves to be brainwashed by its ever more ridiculous output. BBC staffing has reached the point where the limited gene pool is producing genetic defects due to in-breeding. Comedy provides ample evidence such as Marcus Brigstock and Susan Calman but there is a wide choice (Evan Davis et al). The Greeks worked out the minimum population required to prevent in-breeding problems and that introducing outsiders in a controlled manner was always advantageous.
Time for the BBC to relearn those lessons before it is too late.
Anyway, happy New Year to you all.
Happy and healthy New Year to one and all who contribute to this site, especially David and Alan.
Yes, Happy New Year, to everyone – management and workers alike!
There – does that satisfy the BBC’s need for socialist correctness at all times?
Recommend people watch Sky News `s current `The Editors Special` to see just that Sky News` Editors are just as unquestioning on the left as the BBC
This is certainly true and it’s more or less inevitable due to the BBC’s hegemony in UK broadcasting.
If you want to hire staff who know how to do the job, the BBC is very likely to have trained them. And as the BBC makes sure it is staffed top to bottom with Guardianistas, the disease is spread everywhere. It’s like bubonic plague. though of even less use to humanity.
Meanwhile, here’s a story from Breitbart London which I suspect will only make the BBC at gunpoint…
PEGIDA Hymn Knocks Adele From Top of German Singles Chart
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/12/31/pegida-hymn-knocks-adele-from-top-of-german-singles-chart/
Thanks for the link GC. Very interesting!
The song has rattled them, but not to be out done, the liberals at Amazon are donating profits from the Pegida music to a charity for migrants. Never mind, music is so easily pirated. The Washington Post article could have been written by the BBC, as I am sure it will be now they have this angle..
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/12/31/how-buying-this-terrible-song-by-a-far-right-anti-refugee-group-could-help-refugees/
Good for the Germans. The BBC as a fully paid up lugenpresse member will not report it unless it really has to do so.
Happy New year to all and stay alert for the unexpected. Anything can now happen in our Europe (despite the marxist liberal left wing hatred of the UKIP right we are all very definitely part of European civilisation here ) and nothing really concrete is predictable any more.
As we have just seen from the lefty press furore over Letwin and over other non stories ( mostly concerning the continuing attempts by these same people to replace normal politics and arguments by the identity politics of the perpetually aggrieved) we must be resolute in ignoring any of their attempts to dominate the agenda with such drivel.
There is no longer any time left to indulge them. Reality is upon us and will change all our lives. .
Almost the entire political and media /quango/ NGO class is in denial and unfit to face the future.
New men and women will be needed and I hope to see them come into our lives. I am getting old but I hope to be able to play my part and help to restore this land and our Europe to health and consign the marxist left to the past .
The eastern part of Europe is where we must look for real change starting and I am particularly keen to see what happens in Hungary and the Czech Republic.
As for the BBC it is in terminal decline and we should waste no time on reform but press for it’s abolition.
. . . and Happy New Year – and thanks for keeping this site up and running – to you and Alan.
Just finished wishing the best to near family a long way away.
Soon time to turn to those nearer home.
And en route, my very best to those here on BBBC who have contributed so much entertainment value this last year, intentionally or unintentionally. A bit like the BBC itself.
For now, my definition of ‘vital’ is erring more on something aged 25 years… in a barrel I rush to clarify!
Happy new year to all on this site; the open-minded and the BBCers as well. I would like to echo the many thanks to David and Alan for maintaining this site and allowing us to retain our sanity. On my second drink now – cheers.
Happy New Year to all and many thanks for this site, a useful and necessary antidote to the unrelenting propaganda emanating 24 hours a day from the Salford Socialists.
My new year wish is for a UK Fox News. Here’s hoping.
As has been stated by Alan I believe in an earlier posting, tv especially the BBC has been feminized in that there wasn’t much blokey stuff, most of my Xmas viewing revolved around old ‘Top Gear’s’ and ‘Fools and Horses’ recorded on my sky plus from ‘Dave’ Channel. I was only aware of a one off ‘million pound cars’ programme on a major channel. Not much for us fellas is it! No programmes on war planes, boats or military history etc. Plenty of that awful ‘Milican’ creature though, who was embarrassing to watch live.
The BBC couldn’t get enough animated films to show us as they are mostly watched by children and women ( I know that because both my wife and my mother love them ).
I have just watched the ‘a-z of Top Gear’ and no matter what you think of Clarkson et al it is probably technically the best programme ever produced and unbelievably by old white heterosexual men too. The various presenters also understood the brilliance of ‘TG’. It is the most successful world wide programme ever made, and for the BBC to get rid of it because of their ‘anti masculine white male’ bias is in my opinion a certifiable mental disorder which of course liberalism is.
The BBC will be the architect it’s own downfall, it’s naval gazing happy clappy utopia is becoming marginalized by the day as Europe and Britain become colonized by the Muslim world and less than ‘diverse’ east Europe.
I don’t mind the BBC being relegated to the dustbin of history but it bloody well ain’t taking us down with it!
Happy New Year all!
The current “Bearded Lady”, did she have a cock once? output of the BBC will never replace the genuine wit of the Top Gear team.
The New Top Gear Show , is not going too well , female producer , knows nothing about cars , it will crash & burn. Don`t forget JC was in effect , executive producer on the show , with his friend Andy Wilman , the producer . They crafted the show to what we had, to last April . It will be back, in some form, on another free channel , maybe even BBC 2 .
The new top Gear, with 10 times less investment than Clarkson’s Amazon alternative, and with much increased editorial interference from the PC dominated BBC executives, especially a climate-changey-fearing feminist who has set it to be her personal mission to implement the BBC’s philosophy within the DNA of the new ‘TopGear’ show and make TopGear much more PC, is set to be an embarrassing disaster. The Ginger-tosser is unknown outside the UK. David Coulthard was impossible to listen to as a Formula One commentator, as he was very inferior to the SKY’s alternative. Sabine was good at thrashing Clarkson around the Nurbugring, but I am not confident that she can replace fit in with Coulthard and Evans in replacing the brilliant chemistry which exists between Clarkson, Hammond and May.
All in all, the new TopGear looks set to be an unmitigated failure. I have my Amazon account set up to keep watching the exploits, opinions and fun that Clarkson, Hammond and May can continue with on a much bigger budget and without editorial interference from PC fascists at the BBC.
Let’s just hope that Amazon can keep the hot food coming and/or provide its producers with protective headgear, lest their star signing has another temper tantrum!
> The Ginger-tosser is unknown outside the UK
Maybe. But to be fair, so was Clarkson until the BBC sold Top Gear around the world.
With a budget somewhere in the region of 125 million, I am sure that hot food will not be a problem. And The BBC only managed to sell TopGear so successfully around the world because of the programme that Clarkson and Willman created. I cannot see the ginger tosser being as popular around the world as Clarkson, once the BBC have him and the show so tightly strapped into their PC straightjacket.
Geyza
I’m not sure referring to Evan’s as a ‘ginger tosser’ is fair, as it is an insult to ‘tossers’ who come in all sorts! As you say it is a chemistry between the three fellas that can’t be replicated. The media have programmes on the nations favourite ‘duo’s’ every Xmas. History will show that there was only one favourite ‘trio’ in all of world wide tv history and the BBC got rid of them. Incidentally F1 is now abolished from the BBC but no matter wimmin’s footie is still on!
No doubt the new ‘TG’ will include a car made from fair trade papyrus with tyres made from recycled sandals, an engine that runs on yoghurt. It will have an extra row of seats to transport that family of Syrians around that every decent Guardianista should. It will have a top speed of no more than a polar bear so as not to run one over, the road tax will be zero if you have an address in Islington or Hampstead. To anyone else it will be a zillion as we don’t have the same rights as those saving the planet. It will also be able to drive in water for when the sea level rises by about sixteen feet by next Christmas, the air con will be so efficient that although it will be 600 degrees Celsius outside due to global warming inside it will be as cool as Batmanghelidjh’s outfits.
I feel ill already!
I call Evans a ginger tosser, because (A.) he is ginger and (B.) he is a tosser and (C.) everyone knows who I am referring to. This is not meant as an insult to anyone else who has ginger hair.
Happy New Year to one and all. Thanks to David and Alan for the little breath of sanity that the site brings.
Happy New year to one and all and thanks a million to Alan and David and technical experts who have come to our rescues from time to time.
Happy New Year
Thank you for your wonderful contributions. From yourselves I learn something new every day.
Dubai fire. I’m feeling rough (no alcohol involved) so suffering on the sofa and I couldn’t be bothered to turn over. I’ve just watched half an hour of complete waffle, news 24. The only relevant fact to emerge is that there is a fire.
Dave – I did hear mentioned it might be done by those who wish us harm in all the reporting trying not to mention muzzos
LOL I just reported my own post ooops, I did fail to mention that the high point in the 30 minute Dubai fire waffle was the BBc sloth asking a bystander if the hotel had balconies where you could have a Barbecue. I had a mental picture of someone half way up the hotel having a hog roast, not really a very likely scenario.
A happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to one and all – and may I join you all in thanking David and Alan for hosting a superb site that never fails to make me smile!
It’s been a pleasure starting to contribute to the site recently, and if I can add a little humour to my serious concerns regarding our now-farcical national broadcaster then all the better. I was actually a print journalist for many years, a profession I undertook with the intention of writing the truth after realising as a youngster that my local rag was completely agenda driven. So yes, I know how news rooms work, hence the serious concerns…
What of 2015? Well i watched Charlie Brooker’s 2015 Screenwipe last night and even he, who in my opinion can be genuinely cutting at times, couldn’t really find much to laugh about from the past year. The situation is far from good – witness how NY celebrations are being cancelled across Europe – but I do think attitudes are hardening, and the total ineptitude of our woeful political leaders and mainstream media across the western world is being increasingly called into question. It genuinely feels like ‘them and us’, their heads buried firmly in the sand and ours seemingly alert, astute and amazed at their apparent stupidity.
So, let’s all raise a glass to 2016 this evening and hope for better days. I wish you all the very best – stay safe, stay warm and keep slamming that bloody BBC!!
Just popped in to say have a lovely evening with friends and family and all the best for New Year when it comes. Cheers everyone. Alex
Great site. Great posters. Thanks David and Alan .Happy New Year everybody.
Best wishes for the New Year to all at this excellent site – and big thanks to David and Alan, plus Julio down in the engine room !
In the year ahead I fear there will be a spineless set of decisions on the BBC Charter from John Whittingdale. The BBC will continue at much the same dominant size, with all its bias intact. We will see this in full swing in the London elections and other local elections in May.
But at least in the crucial Referendum on the EU there will be some media voices opposing the BBC’s endless pro-EU propaganda. And yes – many more people are recognising the endemic bias throughout the BBC’s output.
The website may have crashed but not the bias.
On BBC London they have tried to win PC bingo in one hit.
A prominent report featured a clothes website with a female John Lennon spectacles wearing leader. The models featured included a transgender activist, a hijab wearing feminist, and an octagenarian lady who was part of a knitting collective. In bBBC land this made it all a top story.
Meanwhile on the main news, the (admittedly very dodgy) New Year Honours list featured several sports people but the one they really raved about was the female fottballer awarded the MBE.
I don’t have a problem with any of the individuals mentioned above. My problem is with the bBBC whose editors decide that these are the stories and the priorities to ram down our throats. The flood of politically correct equality diversity nonsense does my head in.
Happy New Year and lets hope Whittingdale will grow a pair.
This is an absolute Grade A masterclass in bias by omission:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35199266
‘The medieval law taking on Syria travellers’
Imagine if you were a visitor from another planet reading this story. You’d read the piece and have no idea of why this was happening. And yet when training, every young copywriter has the mantra ‘What, why, when, where, how’ drilled into them – but not when it comes to reporting Islam at the BBC.
There isn’t a single binding cause mentioned throughout the whole piece. The word ‘jihadi’ is used but once, our only reference to the core ideological belief that this whole story centres around. It’s akin to writing a story on the Volkswagen emissions scandal without mentioning the word “Volkswagen’, or even ‘diesel’, once.
Still, a medieval law being used to tackle a medieval religion? Well it’s not as if any of our current laws seem to be making much difference.
Happy new year to all posters, thanks for the laughs in the best times, and a sense of togetherness in the worst.
We must stand together or fall divided, but chins up, the tide is turning.
Happy New Year to all who frequent here – even those miscreants from the “dark side” (who know who they are! ). I don’t often comment, but visit daily – although I’m quite often found commenting on the QT blog with Julio and others. Here’s hoping for a common sense new year, and a reduction in the absurdity that is the bias, from the Beeb. Well, now it’s time for a little Aqua Vitae, so until next year – Cheers, everyone!
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda…………..
and to most of the readers and posters on this site its Happy New Year !
Lets hope that the compulsory licence is abolished .
Yn ôl atoch chi a’ch teulu achan….gobeithio y bydd pethau’n well yn y flwyddyn newydd.
I, like xplod, visit daily and comment very rarely but it helps to know I’m not alone in my utter distrust of anything that eminates – in such a unique manner – from the Beeb. Wishing all a happy and healthy 2016.
Gave Charlie Brookers “End Of Year” Wipe as long as i could do,
First saw him do this in 2009 and again 2010…and it used to be funny.
But then again-the curse of BBC Leftism has hit him-Konnie Huqs other half, Guardian etc…
So we get an hour of crap…all the usual targets for Brookers “fearless comedy”.
Yet we paid for it-and they can all feel better tonight, as they impress each other.
Me?…went over to iPlayer to hear the peerless Barry Cryer in conversation with Steve Wright.
Cryer still a great man…politics apart, who cares?…just funny!
“Gave Charlie Brookers “End Of Year” Wipe as long as i could do,”
Brave man, suppose you missed the bit about poor persecuted Islam
what happened,? used to be half alright.
… at one time even a tad ironic, now just chronic
“Trigger Warning” alert, all off to the “Safe Space”, Micro aggressions not withstanding
We are simply the custodians of freedom of speech/expression as a precious commodity for our children
… we have NO RIGHT to throw it away, It is our political so called elites who are doing just that.
… HAPPY NEW YEAR! to all the Biased BBC Badasses
keep up the sterling work
Happy new year and your new year resolution should be – “There is never anything on telly worth watching , and I have had enough PC propaganda to last a lifetime therefore I refuse to pay for it any more !”.
Yep-Happy New Year to all the posters and friends here…God Bless you all, may 2016 be another good one.
The BBC have lost any sense of perspective and are an increasing laughing stock-thanks to so many here, we`re attuned to their perpetual ravings, agendas…and we`re finding now that its Newsnight that is their new comedy vehicle(among all other prius electric delusional means of transport to utopia via Raqqa).
So ta Mr V, Alan…and all who make this site the fist port of call for knowing what`s happening in the real world…I go out and find it so….whereas the BBC seem to confuse reality with a bucket list of liberal fantasies.
chrisH, Thank you for all your wonderful posts in 2015 and keep it up in 2016, so to speak. I do not know what you are on but I wish I could have some of it !
Most kind grant-and all the best to you and yours.
Sadly the Baileys is gone-but have a wide selection of £3.99 copies with a shamrock or a O` Connors type of Oirish schtick on them…Lidl, Iceland and Aldi variations!
Will raise a glass to you and all my friends here…and will hide on Radio 3 to avoid the BBC winding me up.
October 7th is the day when Womans Hour “celebrates” 70 years of gastric bands for chihuahuas apparently-so said the Mad Muffin herself this morning!
A presenter who`ll double as her own bouncy castle,come that glorious day…until then its the Camilla Batmanghedghli diet for me with an occasional binge on running away from Saviles last string vest…if only other childrens parks under Lambeths stewardship were so creative in burnishing that 2012 Olympic legacy.
Free swimming lessons in York anyone?..can`t imagine the Ilkley Sand dancers have got the hang of working a submarine yet have they?
Before King Jerrod decides to kill all males under two I will say that I am married to a transsexual although neither of us use that term in our daily life.
Speaking to my wife she agrees with me that there are only two sexes, male and female. She was born in the “wrong body” and now is as much a woman as anyone could hope to meet. Our dilemma is that the “third sex” which is more widely acknowledged in Asian Countries, particularly the Philippines and Thailand is being used to promote transsexualism by the BBC.
As my wife says, ‘when I became a woman I left those things behind me. These people on the BBC are “Bakla” as we would say in the Philippines or “Ladyboys” in Thailand. Why would anyone who genuinely was born in the wrong body want to be known as a transsexual. I am a woman and nothing less and these victims do true injustice to the very small true gender dysphoria numbers. Why do they always even after surgery want to be victims?’
My w.fe is a wise woman
Aborigine Londoner, Thank you for a most sensible clarification on this topic. Unfortunately your wife will never be interviewed by the likes of Victoria Derbyshire. Far too wise.
There will now be a brief interlude .. Happy New Year everyone
Breaking news, transsexual potter featured on biased BBC.
With 2015 quickly drawing to a close, it seems fitting that on Dartmoor tonight, a heavy frost is already covering the cars and ground, which means that despite all the “hot” December weather, Dartmoor, at least, has had a “frost day” for every month this year, which is something of a record. With the final years figures now in for my patch on Dartmoor, and again, despite the December “heat wave” and “unprecedented” rainfall, it might seem hard to believe, but on first scan, the year as a whole was drier than normal and cooler than normal and where did the sun go as this was one of the cloudiest years on record. Well, there you go BBC, try as hard as you might to convince us otherwise, nature and reality, on my patch, has beaten you again.
So, with very cold weather all around us and beating at our door, may I wish all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year.
Happy New Year! To all my fellow Biased BBCers on here; and to those who put the work in to keep this, invaluable, show on the road.
A guid New Year to ane an’ a’
An’ mony may ye see,
An’ during a’ the years to come,
O happy may ye be.
Mr Golighlty
Thanks for a fun competition.
I woke up a few minutes ago, after a very heavy lock-in in my local, to hear Jenni Murray in full flow on Radio 4. New Year’s bloody Day and on and on drones the BBC crap.
In the competition – we missed out Mark Easton, the world’s expert on twisting or burying social statistics. But he will probably hang around till next year. Like a bad smell.
Forgive me if I am wrong but is not a former Archbishop of Canterbury formally known as Archbishop Emeritus? Perhaps the BBC wishes to cast aspersion on Lord Carey by referring to him as “EX” archbishop in the same way they refer to “Ex” Bishop Ball. Not of course to be confused with his Twin Brother! who has had no involvement with the police but of course our BBC would love us to think that Lord Carey is now disgraced and the perp’s innocent brother also.
Even in the biased BBC’s words there was no cover up but they are determined to make mud stick: In his two letters Lord Carey said he had no wish to influence the legal process.
Bishop Peter Ball who fucked young boys up the ass along with Robert Coles who was my parish priest were correctly found guilty but please BBC there was no complicity from Canterbury only Chichester. Cast your net where the waters have fish.
WRT the then Bishop of Gloucester, a personal friend of the Prince of Wales doncha know!
A number of years ago. it was WELL known locally that the Bishop had been sent on retreat for “personal reasons”.
The other part of the story involved something about “getting across” a young monk. Selective reporting by the “Establishment” was happening 20+ years ago. Now us poor plebs have got T’internet!!!!!!
Biased BBC Awards 2015 – Result
Diane Abbot, who raced away from the very beginning, is the clear victor with 39 votes. Jacob Rees-Mogg a worthy second place with 35 votes, and Emma Thompson is in third with 30 votes. Cumberbatch had too much to make up and finished on 24. A hotly contested pack followed with Cooper (21), Davis (20), Hill, Harrabin and Church all on 19 votes.
Thank you for your suggestions and for bearing with me. I would like to wish you all a very happy and peaceful new year.
What was the prize
AL. Any suggestions as to the name of the trophy would be welcome. I believe ChrisH put forward “The Golden Gobbler”.
Oh it has to be a 3d printed model of a woman with a cock preferably brown
ooops I forgot the beard
Well there we go! The Bearded Wannabe Woman award which kind of covers the latest al-beeb output!
The object in pink in the background under its right armpit looks like a cross between Cherie Blair and Carmen Batmanwhatsit.
Blwyddyn newydd dda (Happy New Year) to one and all.
Apologies to Dysqui Cymraig – I’m still wearing D plates.
Years ago when the petition parliament started I created one that only English, Welsh and Gaelic should be allowed publicly! It beggars belief that that there are no official languages in the UK and correct me if I am wrong I kind of think you have a few more rights with Welsh than we have with English in England.
How’s it going with Farsi, Urdu et. al. 😉
And now it’s even Polish in Wales.

My prompt obviously had an effect. This was the BBc telling me, not for the first time, that they didn’t have time to put salient points in on a story. I contest this would have taken less than 10 seconds and the omission completely changed the toner of the s.tory
Hey at least they are keeping you informed. That’s more than the victims of the VIth form debating society news room bullies get.
D666
Does Islamic Al-Beeb refer to you as a customer?
I ask because I have recently received a missive from the DVLA which addresses me as a customer.
This practise seems to have migrated from “local government” to “central government”.
I tell them all that :-
They must instantly stop addressing me as a customer.
Because a customer is someone who has a choice.
If I had a choice I would choose not to receive many of the expensively provided “products” and “services” from LG or CG.
Those services and producta and services I required would be obtained from the private sector which is much better value.
When I get my TV Licence reminder they never address me as a ‘customer’. Time to get rid of the ‘provider’.
D666, I am puzzled. The bBC state that they “are normally able to investigate and reply to most complaints at this stage within 20 ‘working’ days of receipt, or around four weeks.”
If the bBC ‘working week’ is less than the 24/7 propaganda we are currently paying our TV tax for, does this mean weekend viewing is free?
Does it then follow that we should; ignore the bBC Mon-Fri, stop paying the TV tax and legally enjoy the ‘freebeeb’ on weekends only? Or has my intake of Jack Daniels had a bubble or two extra in the cola?
HNY to you here all and thanks for helping me to keep my sanity in this world of absolute insanity…
bBC news yesterday a report about an Air Canada flight that experienced severe turbulence over Alaska and passengers who weren’t buckled in experienced injuries. at the end of the report the stupid biatch actually said that “we can all expect this to happen more and more as the planet warms up”
arseholes never miss an opportunity, lol 😀
Leha
As you say, they are arseholes.
I would say ignorant biased opinionated arseholes.
But never mind, we have to pay their wages, so they will carry on being ignorant opinionated arseholes. All graduates of the BBC School of “Journalism”, no doubt.
Are you sure the voice was female ? Not BBC flavour of the year transgender ?
A few decades ago we were on our honeymoon flying SAA first class. Lovely. Tucking in for the night on a seat that went back to offer the full 180 experience. However the crew insisted we used belts over blankets ‘as you never know’. Wise precaution as I awoke to see all manner of loose kit flying around the cabin when we dropped a few hundred feet in seconds.
A shame the BBC lady was unaware of this being a common phenomenon, likely because no one from that scientifically settled organisation has or ever will fly.
Quite how Botney will return from the lapping waters of the Carribean, or all currently recovering from Gluwein hangovers midXmas hols, remains exempted for the purposes of hypocrisy.
Its called CAT , Clear Air Turbulence , not associated with any cloud formations like thunderclouds . It is hard to predict , but usually lies between 29,000 to 45,000 ft , normal airline operating heights. Fuck all to do with Global Warming as the outside air temp. will about -50 C.
A couple for any from the Borg box unlucky enough to cop the long weekend shift:

This being from but one region overpopulated with unique levels of trustworthy and transparent editorial integrity.
And in the realms of ‘watertight oversight’, from the country with the only faith, from the only race, with the only leader who can do no wrong..

Acknowledging investigations ongoing, the sudden editorial omissions and indeed deletions by their equivalent of Don’tTellMomPorkies media seems oddly familiar to practices here when vital space is scarce and the only time committed is to go back and engage in a bit of ‘helpful’ revisionism.

I did and screamed which blew yoghurt all over the screen.
Hoping that some sense will breakthrough in 2016 at the BBC. Something like this brilliant short analysis. (It is not quite what you think it is going to be about from this source and the title it has been given)

Good link!
Interesting that the British-Muslim being interviewed was surprised to hear that Arabs living in Israel preferred Israel as they had more freedoms. The BBC/Left would NEVER understand that.

Nice to see the support sisters showing solidarity so early.
And that the BBC does not lower itself to speculation or gossip.
Well, unless it is about folk the BBC doesn’t like.
This is an ongoing story which has been running for sometime.

‘Top Gear’ Host Chris Evans’ Ego Is ‘Out Of Control’ According To BBC Staff: ‘They’ve Created A Monster’
To be fair to the BBC I have enjoyed both of the hour long trailers that they’ve broadcast for the trio’s new Amazon Prime show. A generous gesture; highlighting the utter stupidity of the BBC management by showing the brilliance of a format they’ve just thrown away.
But then – if you’re funded by a compulsory tax who needs to worry about scrapping good programmes?
Happy New Year.
The PC bBBC are straight in from the off.
My post at 7.12 last night omitted the wheelchair bound disabled female minority group.
But have no fear. One was guest editing Toady this morning !!!!!
Tick.
Was she wearing a hijab as well?
As a relative newcomer I too would wish you all a happy new year. I have not posted a lot, mainly because I avoid the BBC and get my daily news here, and other non Marxist places. However I will now watch an episode of 1960s “Perry Mason” then the Live new years day Strauss concert from Vienna. Perhaps the only time I will watch the BBC in 2016 unless we win the Brexit vote and I will gloat at their disappointment.
I think I must have up-ticked most posts on here today, nevertheless, I shall add my thanks to all involved with this site – administrators and contributors – and wish you all the best for 2016. I have only been reading here for about 6 months but thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Who knows what 2016 has in store. Well, one thing I do know is that common sense will prevail here rather than on the bBc.
Now off to watch the Ba game in Kirkwall! If you want to know what it is, click here.

Look forward to hearing about next year’s game with the introduction of a team from Syria (miggies?) kicking from east to west.
A recent statement from the BBC concerning their loss of iplayer for several hours, mentioned that, despite claims that their site was “hacked” Roger Harrabin for the BBC has stated that the loss of iplayer was due to “Climate Change” and not a breach of the BBC’s internet security.
Concerning CAT, as I pilot (45 years) CAT can happen at any altitude. Fact is, you are more likely to get CAT when there are cold air temperatures and not warm temperatures and more so when flying over mountainous terrain, such as Canada has. Stupid BBC reporter.
Thus far, my resolution of “No BBC” has held out, albeit only for a few hours.
I trust that non-viewing/listening to the BBC will not curtail my membership of this site…
Happy New Year to all.
Labour morality
Labour has an investigation into Danzcuk for bringing the party into disrepute whilst in the same year promotes an openly IRA sympathiser to the post of Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.
I believe this is a honey trap set up by the left of the Labour Party.
Not mention the fact that they and the so called BBC protected paedophile gangs for 20 years in so many constituencies that they ran on the grounds of “community cohesion”.
The BBC repeatedly reported his work to tackle paedophilia in such a way as to suggest hypocrisy. Firstly, being 17, she is of legal age to engage in consensual flirting. This was NOTHING like paedophilia, which is sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. Secondly, strange how labour and the BBC made such a fuss over her age, as being too young, whilst the BBC and Labour both support lowering the voting age to below hers. They did not think 17 was too young when changing the law to allow buggering 16 year old boys. This is pure hypocrisy on the part of labour and the BBC.
The only way they have any point at all to criticise in this case, is the fact that she was seeking employment with his office, and so sexual advances to a potential member of staff, are inappropriate. Her age (17) in this case is utterly irrelevant.
Also, had this “victim” of Danzcuk’s been a homosexual boy or transgendered, I bet there would have been no fuss whatsoever. He engaged in mutual textual flirting with a consenting member of the opposite sex. Now he is some sort of pervert? Utter Bollocks.
