    Not the BBc but this annoyed me anyway From Jo Bells Blog ” The poem was written the day after Donald Trump was elected. Kindness seemed especially necessary and especially valuable on that day, and we surely need it more than ever now.” What does it refer to? The new crap Nationwide building society advert. https://belljarblog.wordpress.com/ If you have concerns over this like I do as a Nationwide customer please feel free to let them know. I have.

      Dave 666, I switched on and as the ‘poem’ was being recited, I thought I was watching a programme. Then it turned into the advert. Fortunately I watch less ITV than BBC but as I didn’t take the whole thing in was waiting to see exactly what was said. I really believe the UK is becoming increasingly divided. I guess there are less undecided voters at the moment. If there were an election London would vote one way and the rest of England the other. I’m thinking the ‘interesting times’ of the Chinese proverb are actually getting very close.

      You touched nerve with me. Nationwide’s ads sometimes shows that it thinks it is a bank, speaking of customers intead of members. Jo Bell seems to have taken this onboard at their junket. “Instead, I found myself talking to people who really believe in the company.” Company! She shows some insight….not.

    The BBC now all too eager to name the French Canadian involved with the Canadian shooting. As to the other perpetrator, ‘little information is available’. No analysis, conversation or further fact reporting. This is one they are determined to muddy or preferably just ignore.

      Yes and John Humphries on radio 4 this morning stated that the perpetrator was “known to have right wing views”. Really? How?

    As a young teen voter I first voted labour and respected the BBC
    Many years later (30years) I became a Conservative, built up a successful business but still viewed the BBC
    However, in the last 12 months I realised just how biased the BBC are, especially with their coverage and language used during the referendum towards Nigel Farage and knocking the leave group. In fact they pushed it so much that it made me move from Remain to Leave and from Conservative to UKIP
    It’s amazing that such a large media owner can have this effect purely due to their biased output.
    They are now doing the same with DTs visit to the UK and supporting heavily the angry Remainers and Anti Trump group.
    Instead of pushing me away from DT it’s had the opposite effect and drawn my attention to his policies and now I agree with many of the points he has raised.
    The BBC really need to research how the majority of people in this country see things.
    It’s as though they have their own objective and are oblivious the Views of the majority.
    Surely they can’t go on like this much longer.
    Something needs to change within the organisation or its needs selling off and giving the licence payer more freedom.

                  Hovis,
                  The BBC know exactly what the various schools of thought are in the country. But They long ago made the choice to abuse their state funded ,near monopoly , position to promote the liberal world view and to move the centre of gravity of U.K. Opinion and politics towards that view. They have been very successful. How else do you explain the shift of the Tory party to ground that Blair would have been happy to stand on. Fortunately the liberal left over reached themselves in giving the country a referendum on the one topic that united those that hadn’t been brainwashed. They underestimated Nigel Farage and the residual sense of nationhood that remained in Parts of the UK. But Brexit has not yet been achieved and you can see the determination of the BBC to ensure that it isn’t, at least not in any real sense. Even if Brexit is fully achieved it is only one battle won , albeit a glorious one, the war against the liberal left elite and it’s duped followers will run for a long time yet.
                  The BBC is a powerful weapon for the liberal left . It leads millions of impressionable and gullible British people by the nose into supporting causes, signing petitions ,protesting and voting for policies which run directly against their best interests.
                  Given enough time the BBC will deliver the UK into the liberal left globalist , multicultural Utopia they believe in. To those on this site it is startling obvious that we will actually be delivered trussed up like a turkey to a Muslim dominated dystopian hell. Smashing the BBC is a vital step towards preventing the UK from sliding into a hellish future.

      BrownHovis, what worries me is that most of the BBC viewers/listeners have no time to research facts online. I am now so upset about their bias, that I no longer able to listen to the Today program or or watch the News Channel without getting angry after 5min of their garbage. I just hope their viewing figures will drop, the license renewals dramatically decrease and maybe the White House bans them too. Maybe then they will get the msg …maybe ….

      BrownHovis, welcome. You make a good point. I myself originally thought Mr Trump was a totally unsuitable, brash, loud mouthed chancer who used soundbites to grab attention. However, it was the mainstream media’s coverage of his campaign which made me look closer – it was clear we were being lied to about what he was actually saying – and I realised that a lot of what he is saying makes sense. So thanks MSM, your propaganda had the opposite effect to what was intended!

  4. G.Shuttleworth says:

    Question, partially BBC related: Has anyone else noticed the marked increase in strange imagery in the MSM in recent months, imagery usually the remit of the fringe element of conspiracy sites?

    I’ve noticed it accelerate exponentially since the summer, in BBC press shots, mainstream advertising and celebrity interviews in broadsheet newspapers, usually on the weekend. It involves the subject of the shot having one eye covered with an object or their hand and looks markedly awkward and out of place where it appears. Sometimes it appears surreptitiously, like the press shot of Lily Allen crying at the Calais camp.

    What’s now very interesting is that since Trump’s election, those who’ve been striking this pose have been the most vocal and vitriolic of virtue signallers.

    Hats off to those who suggested it here and elsewhere- we are dealing with a mass cult.

    Hi everyone. I haven’t posted for quite a while but with recent events I need to let off steam!

    Just watching BBC2 Newsnight with MP Stella Creasy. She is saying Trump shouldn’t be invited and entertained in UK Parliament in the same rooms that had entertained Nelson Mandella. Evan Davis let her comment go.

    Is she suggesting that those rooms are for only entertaining convicted terrorists who were friends with just about every dictator on the planet?!? No way can the Uk entertain the leader of the USA who wants to defend his own people.

    During her liberal rant the backdrop on the large TV screens looked like the inside of a Mosque, is this the new look pro-muslim BBC?

      The biggest challenge that faces President Trump and the rest of the so called Populist leaders is to knock some common sense into the millions of snowflakes and naive and gullible 30 and 40 year olds who have been sold the liberal left world view by the biased MSM, which exactly contrary to the their own best interests. They follow the tune of the liberal left elite without even realising it. His tactic of appealing over the head of the MSM via social media is a good one. Which is why the elite are trying to discredit social media news with their campaign against so called fake news. They are hoist on their own petard on this one.
      The left can organise protests by millions of fools in a few days. The President needs help to combat this from the millions of people who share his views more closely than they do those of the liberal left elite. Demonstrate support for President Trump. Would that be illegal in the U.K. I wonder?

        I agree, that is what I have come to realise. We are conditioned into thinking a particular way.
        We are made to feel that we are bigoted if we are patriotic.
        Told what we can and can’t say, even what we should and shouldn’t think.
        I truly believe that people are sick of surpressing their true feelings in order to be PC and not upset anyone.
        We have bottled it all up for fear of bringing up our concerns only to be labelled as racist.
        I actually believe that some of those who hold up banners pledging allegiance to Muslims are doing it out of fear rather than sincerity.
        I bet at least some of them aren’t even being honest about their true feelings about immigration etc.

    With Trump returning Churchill’s bust to the Oval office, and putting Britain at the front of the queue. I have just heard that Trumps America is to put up a statue of George III, probably to honour the Queens support for “the referendum of Brexit from the EU“. This will be the first statue of Americas last King, after two hundred years of his unpopularity in the rebel republic. The last statue of George III in America was melted down and turned into bullets for “the war of Amexit from Britain“.

    Here’s a letter I’d send if I thought it would do any good. (It’s to the CEO of the Australia’s commercial Channel 7.)

    Dear Sir/Madam/Undecided,

    RE: Your breakfast TV show this morning. Thank you for the ten minutes or so you devoted to the unfortunate Aussie-Iranian schoolboy who will lose his US camp holiday thanks to President Trump’s visa rules. How sad!

    Perhaps tomorrow you could interview the nine poor wretches who are still in hospital after they were deliberately mown down by a driver in Melbourne? It would be interesting if they could confirm allegations he shouted ‘Allahu Akhbar!’ as he ploughed into them.

    Tragically, a three-month-old boy and a ten-year-old girl lost their lives – not just their holidays.

    Have you considered that President Trump hoped his restrictions would help prevent further attacks of this sort? Probably not, since you and the other channels have mocked and misrepresented him for months.

    Your breakfast show and news are PC, crass, cringe-worthy, emotionally incontinent junk. Why do I watch? (a) It’s useful to have flood and bushfire warnings; (b) the other channels are awful too.

    Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

    Yours, Helena Hand-Basket, Sydney NSW

    While we are being bombarded by the hypocritical media bullshit on Trump (and did anybody notice the nicely printed protest signs outside Downing Street yesterday ? Its good to know the anti-Trumpettes have such high production values), some minor gems from Al Beeb may go unnoticed. My current favourite comes from the utterly brilliant Will Gompertz under the title ” Is squatting Art ?”.

    Well the answer to Will’s question is ” No, its an illegal occupation of someone else’s property.”, but never mind, here are a couple of excerpts from Free Willie :

    “I’ve been thinking a lot about ANAL today. That is the Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians who are currently squatting in a whopping five-story house in Eaton Square, an upmarket part of London near Buckingham Palace.” “There’s a long history in art of political protest in the form of direct action. Dadaists, Surrealists and Situationists all sought to break down the barriers between art and life through protest, action and undermining the establishment.”
    “Property was often their conduit, as it has been more recently for street artists and performance artists such as Petr Pavlensky, who, when he’s not nailing his scrotum to Red Square or sewing his lips together, makes his political point via interventions – including setting light to the front door of the FSB building in Moscow.
    Is there a huge difference between any of them and Anal? I don’t think so. Will they be shortlisted for the 2017 Turner Prize in Hull? I doubt it. But it’s not impossible.”

    I’m wondering if Willie is thinking of a piece of “performance art” of his own. Suggestions on a postcard.

Comrade Lenin and STALIN (whaaaaaat?) apparently were he best thing since sliced bread and we know how bad the working classes are having because of the Bourgeoisie?

Revolution by Facebook is all they know, and herd together like gate crashing a birthday party. The media outside cameras purport to show ‘thousands’ protesting – at eye level, so where are the overhead long shots – showing a couple of hundred at most?

        I have relatives in Rotherham who told of the streets bulging with protesters at the Council’s and Police’s lack of action when the raping of white girls was uncovered, but those marches were never covered by the national media, just a minute’s mention on the local news.

Islam is evil, not people. We should all remember that Muslims have all been brainwashed and radicalized by the child raping, serial killer mad mo’s “life instruction”, forced by threat of violence and death by their backward cultures to follow its evil doctrine.

    People shouldnever be murdered for simply having different views, like islam teachers its cultists to do. The west is better than this in every way. If true, Alexandre Bissonnette is a fucking moron who stands with no one, has made things worse not better, and I hope he rots for it.

    “A tough gig at the moment”

    So quips lanky beta male Dan Walker as he gives a wry – almost sly – smile after a President Trump spokeswoman correctly points out that whatever Trump does people won’t give him a chance and instead make knee-jerk reactions. Louise Minchin struggles with her script to try to bash her interviewee but is easily outwitted with reference to Obama’s previous executive orders. “Oh, I don’t want to get into what previous administrations have done” bleats Minchin.

    Here’s the thing – Trump is an absloute media godsend.

    Acres of easy copy/airtime. Endless licence (pun intended) for journos to virtue signal their own self-righteousness. Infinite opportunity for Lefty politicians to distract the public from their own repeated failures.

    But if the public stand firm, ignore the lefty tantrums, quietly support Trump and Brexit every time there is a ballot – then these media lefties have all the rope – they will hang themselves.

    “Good morning. Here is the news from the BBC. The so-called president of the United States – a self-confessed racist and mysogynist with proven connections to Vladimir Putin and the Russian Mafia – has issued an executive order banning all Muslims in the United States and ordering their immediate detention. It has provoked outrage across the World and for the next 4 hours we will be hearing from: 3 former Prime Ministers; 16 Labour MPs; 2 former leaders of the Liberal Democrats; a partridge in a pear tree; the head of the CBI; the Archbishop of Canterbury; a Holocaust survivor; plus an eight year girl dying from cancer who has written a letter that reads ‘Dear Mr President, please let the Muslims go so I can die in peace and go to heaven’.”

    To that lot you can add “an ordinary member of the public who spontaneously felt that she just had to do something”. They always have one of these. 30 seconds on the internet will tell you that the “ordinary member of the public” is a member of the Socialist Workers Party with a history of violent activism, who has been previously interviewed on 10 separate occasions on everything from animal rights to opposing nuclear weapons, and who is married to a BBC reporter. Welcome to “the World’s most respected broadcaster”. Is it true? Or did you hear it on the BBC?

      Now that’s interesting about Lily Alien. I’ve been campaigning in Hollywood for a remake of the cult 70’s movie classic: Shaft. The haunting score by Isaac Hayes will be retained, but society has moved on since then, we are more diverse and inclusive and the movie should reflect that. I had been thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio or Benedict Cumberbatch for the role of John Shaft, but maybe Lily Alien could do it if the BBC deal for Dr. Who falls through?

    Is it just me or is this BBC article deeply disturbing?

    Quebec mosque attack: Student Alexandre Bissonnette charged
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38805163

    Here are some quotes from the article to link the suspect to any thing “right wing” or “Trump loving”…

    On the social network (Facebook), he also reportedly “liked” US President Donald Trump and French National Front leader Marine Le Pen.

    Francois Deschamps, an official with an advocacy group, Welcome to Refugees, said the suspect was known for his far-right views.

    Mr Bissonnette was “unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media,” Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation’s Facebook page.

    The article then quotes from a ‘proud Muslim convert’…
    She said it’s likely that she shared a Ramadan meal with one of the people who was in the mosque during the attack. “The only thing we can do now is cry and hope that Allah will make those responsible face their actions,” she said.

    So a Muslim convert admits Allah is responsible for revenge and not the Canadian legal system.

    The BBC couldn’t resist making the link…
    The shooting came amid heightened global tensions over Mr Trump’s travel ban on seven Muslim countries.

    So there we go, if you “like” Trump or Le Pen or you take a stand that differs from activists the you are one of those responsible for the mosque deaths and Allah will personally sort you out – probably by proxy and with a lorry… in another country.

      He also likes U.S. Senator John McCain, a moderate Republican who has opposed Trump on some issues, President George W. Bush, the Canadian New Democratic Party and late Canadian politician Jack Layton, who was a leader of the left-wing NDP, so the likes do not shed much light on Bissonnette’s beliefs.”

    Fellow subscribers – It has been a pleasure reading your comments on this website. However I have decided not to contribute anymore. The reason being is that I will not be watching anymore BBC News broadcasts. In a way it was always “fun” working out where the Trotskyist,Liberal Fascist editors, sub-editors and researchers had implanted in either their willing news readers or duped vacuous colleagues , news items which suited their own political view points. However now there isn’t the slightest degree of subtlety. I find it all very boring. I feel I am watching a far left state owned TV station from the Indian Sub Continent.
    I will still watch certain cultural, entertainment and sporting events as long as I see a few indigenous Brits being allowed to participate.Anyway I shall still read your excellent
    contributions. But as I wont be watching anymore news on the BBC, that’s the end of my scribbling.
    Lastly I thought it was interesting yesterday how the horrendous murders in Canada became less important on the BBC website as it appeared the perpetrators were thought to be middle eastern. Let’s see if the French Canadian is said to be mentally ill or just a supporter of Donald Trump and Marie Le Pen. I won’t know because I wont be watching.

      A leftie friend wrote a piece about post truth and alternative facts recently. But when I pointed out , with examples, that the facts on the BBC are only the selected ones the editors wish you to know, she was on the back foot staight away. Keeping a contemporary stock of the bias is an important resource.

      ‘now there isn’t the slightest degree of subtlety’

      I know exactly what you mean. I have the same feeling. There was a time when one needed to interpret the little biases but since the British referendum and Trump’s election there’s no interpretation required. It’s as though one were watching a Labour Party political broadcast and checking it for leftist bias.

      BBC bias is now so open there’s no case to make. They are the criminal caught red-handed and having confessed his crime with a record as long as their arm that still when the case comes to court insists on pleading ‘not guilty’ just to make everyone go through the motions.

      I read hereabouts that the BBC’s Samira Ahmed – supposedly the voice of the viewers and of balance and fair reporting on BBC Newswatch – lent her support to some very shoddy biased anti-Trump reporting. That takes the biscuit. How can she present a show fairly exploring the issue of whether the BBC has reported fairly when she has shown her own biased hand so obviously?

      I tend to agree with another poster here – with the collapse of the Left in the UK and the US the media on both sides of the Atlantic have stepped up to the role of unofficial opposition.

      And, surprise, surprise, I had an identical reply:
      Sorry to hear you were unhappy about Laura Kuenssberg’s question to President Trump at the press conference in Washington on January 27th.

      We raised your concerns with senior staff at BBC News and they replied:

      “Audiences expect our correspondents to hold leaders to account and to ask the key questions on their behalf, wherever they are. Laura did so clearly, robustly and fairly.”

      We appreciate the time you’ve taken to raise this with the relevant staff.

      As with Kuennsberg’s question, the bBBC claims to be speaking on behalf of the country as a whole (“audiences”). But they have no idea, and never ask, what anyone outside their metropolitan bubble wants, or thinks.

    Maybe the BBC and other UK outlets need to read this from one of their own (US side)

    http://fortune.com/2017/01/27/trump-media-trap/

    The pattern of howling outrage and virtue signalling may be dragging them down a path mapped out for them by Bannon. The advice given to the media in this article “So how should we respond then? It’s not the kind of rallying cry that stirs the blood, but as Atlantic writer Rosie Gray said, we should probably just do our jobs—that is, report the facts, without fear or favor.” will probably go ignored. But that’s life.

    Bull…t. How much of the population have they asked ? – exactly the same number who have signed up for multiculturalism and diversity I suppose !

        Why do BBC even bother to reply? Their replies are as predictable as their news.
        We could, maybe, have a reduced licence fee if they scrapped the complaints department and just sent auto replies: “Thank you Licence paying fool now go and f**k yourself.”

          I recently complained about a BBC News website heading saying “singing and dancing cancer woman dies”. BBC hate labeling of people so I thought it was especially wrong that they should label someone by their illness and in such a crass way.

          Got a short response saying “Sorry blah blah… but our editors only have a small space to fit the headline into”!

      Brissles,

      They don’t seem to hold muslim leaders to account. When Jeremy Bowen interviewed Assad, he practically disappeared up his jacksy. The BBC are big liars.

    There’s an article in the Daily Mail about who might get the job of the next Doctor Who. Hmm..considering Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, David Tennant and Christopher Ecclestone are all left wing luvvies I’m betting he will also be a BBC approved left wing luvvie. ‘He’? What am I saying, of course there’s now an opportunity to shoehorn in a female Dr Who.

    That’s not to say they are bad actors, and barring a few episodes I never even watched the program – but it seems we only ever turn out thesps from the Marxist School of Drama.

        There has been BBC hints for years they will have a gay Doctor – both in real life actor and in the Doctor’s reincarnation. It will be so forced into the story line it will finish off the series for good.

        They tried it with Torchwood…

        … and finished off the series for good.

          One of the most glaringly blindingly obvious thing which the BBC always ignore, is the global hatred of Political Correctness.

          They moaned about Top Gear when it wasn’t PC, but the world loved it and it was a best seller for the BBC.
          When they introduced what appeared to be a lesbian kiss on Doctor Who, much of the world was disgusted, refused to show it, and canceled any further series purchases.

          But what does those ignorant savages know compared with the ‘enlightened Lefties’ at the BBC? They don’t appreciate that the BBC is fighting the rest of us on their behalf, but then they shouldn’t do, because like every other victim group the Fascists have created, they don’t actually like them very much, but they are a useful tool to leverage their hate.

        Frankly I’m amazed that the doctors have all been white males up to now – for the BBC that’s pretty shocking. If anybody opens a book on the next doctor, I’ll be placing a bet on the female/ethnic choice. Surely it’s about time!

    This is from the terrible attack in Canada yesterday….note however the full on agenda and force of narrative from Al Shabeeb and the continual reference of religion of those killed, and the somehow already known motives of the killer….

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38805163

    Now look at this one, carried out in Australia just 11 days ago……its not even on the BBC anymore so I cant compare, its only 11 days ago!!…so I have had to use their go to source for everything to do with the world, their fellow mentally ill, White hating facists….

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jan/20/car-pedestrians-bourke-street-melbourne

    Not one reference of religion of the killer or those killed. No links, no names (man/woman), no emotional words used to create shock with the victims, including the 3 month old baby boy that was killed! No pretence at trying to know the motive, no mention of the Arabic music quoted as being played from the car when he drove into the crowd….

        Well, pretty much all our MPs do and the rest of the MSM does. So we are left with the, not “in their right mind” conclusion.
        What really disgusts me is that there are numerous people out there, in positions to do or say something on the bias but they do not.
        Apart from Nigel of course. With only incoherence from Labour, Infantilism from Farron and ravings from Krankie – they keep asking Farage – how sweet.

        What it needs is for a national unbiased and non-partisan broadcaster to give it equal publicity to the “stop Trump” petition. Does anybody know of one? Me neither.

        Just signed. As I was doing it, this clicker thing turned over and about 10,000 more signatures were racked up. I doubt it’ll get to a million but it’s good to see it’s past the point where it has to be debated in Parliament.

          I expect that Parliament will have a debate combining the two petitions.
          There is precedent for this. For example, a few months ago a petition to ban driven grouse shooting reached ~125,000 signatures and one to support driven grouse shooting got only ~25,000 but they had a debate (in Westminster Hall, not in the Commons) that merged the two, and all but two of the twenty-odd MPs who spoke supported the latter and ignored the first petition.
          That concept could, of course, benefit the majority – of MPs and the populace – who support President Trump’s State Visit, despite the howling from snowflakes and Londoners who are virtue-signalling by signing to ban Trump’s visit.

            As I thought.
            Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom.”.

            https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/178844

            The debate is scheduled for 20 February 2017.

            Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript.

            Thanks,
            The Petitions team
            UK Government and Parliament

            This is the same date as the anti-Trump petition that the bBBC have been publicising.

    Anyone think that the Donald might have been taking a rise out of Miss prim and proper Theresa May? The White House spelled it as Teresa May on three occasions.
    Apparently Teresa May, without the h, is a well known porno star and one link I discovered when checking referred to something involving ten inches.

    The Sun has drawn attention to the real Teresa May.
    Perhaps Trump was having a joke, or maybe it was a boob.

    Joke of the week so far. BBC Website reports from the Brexit debate today that Keir Starmer calls for an ” end ” to gloating from Brexit campaigners. Presumebly without any sense of irony or self-awareness. Typical Lefty.
