    Have never watched this programme – any adult who is referred to as ‘Boy’ and yet another yank who thinks its edgy to spell his name oddly and thinks he knows it all, has me opting for other more informative channels. Most of today’s tele output has me shaking my head in disbelief, from the flour grader men Ant & Dec to manically grinning Philip Schofield. I find it very depressing – like a lot of ‘retireds’ (not retards !!) in this country the tv is a huge part of our entertainment, but sadly most of the programming is only fit for those with the intelligence of a gnat. There are also many young, unknown and ‘bouncy’ hosts and presenters, who have a propensity to refer to everyone as ‘guys’ – who HIRES these people ??? because they clearly have the same lack of articulation.

    Probably posted here before but as I don’t recall and in case not, a few worthy links…

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/bbc/12172997/With-Dame-Janet-Smiths-report-the-BBC-is-engaged-in-yet-another-cover-up.html

    That’s yet another cover up from the national trusted and transparent state broadcaster.

    “…we know that London, where most network journalists are based, is one of the most pro-EU cities; and well-educated younger people, including most BBC staff, are much more In than Out.

    That’s the supposedly impartial, politics-at-thedoor, in the DNA national broadcaster who has a budget of £4Bpa to enhance the narrative in every UK home.

    Many will watch; most will do sod all even if they are there to do just that, eh, John, Jesse….?

    schadenfreude – pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.

    Yes I know we shouldn’t but sometimes the story is just to funny not to !

    Cockroaches invade BBC’s MediaCityUK HQ
    Pest controllers are understood to be tackling the infestation thought to have been introduced by a member of staff !

    How will they be able to tell the difference?

      Oh… ‘introduced by’… a member of staff. I misread that initially.

      Maybe it was one of those ‘we’ (meaning anyone but BBC staff) will need to eat insects ‘reports’ that got out of hand?

    I had a good laugh at Radio 4 this morning in which the presenter quoted Grayson Perry on the subject of masculinity being a thing of the past. Well yes, it clearly is… for Grayson Perry.

      That’s the aim of the Fascist Left, which is our great hope. Ultimately they will metrosexualise themselves out of existence !

      And a good thing too!

    According to the BBC Europe hates Trump: According to the comments it’s the BBC that’s held in contempt. I must admit i didn’t know the story of how The Guardian got Dubya elected though – you’d think they’d have learnt their lesson.

    Only on the BBC…

    PM has just told me what a wonderful welcoming country Turkey is but that its character is being changed by Syrian refugees. Whole areas of their cities have been taken over, there is begging on the streets. What can we do to help them?

    Strangely it sounds a lot like parts of the UK, (not Syrians, but other aliens are available), yet the BBC hasn’t got a shred of concern for the British, indeed it would be delighted if things were made worse.

      Of course they’ve got no concern; they are one of the mainstays of the progressive media promoting the disguised genocide of Europeans in the West, by encouraging the wonders of multiculturalism through unending and ever increasing immigration from the Failed World.

      No whites, in any of their own countries, can protest about the destructive influx of Third World blacks and browns into those same countries; without howling accusations of “racist”.
