    New one on me. Our knife-wielding chappie at Westminster with his three knives was described as a “British Passport Holder” by the BBC.
    Imagine we`ll be getting “British Driving License”…”British GCSE holder” in the next lower circles of hell that the BBC need to map out for us. Just in case we think it`s anything to do with Islam or Muslim blokes.
    As if.

    Yesterday, poster Edward made a very valid comment about the number of public sector “workers” who seem to appear on programmes such as Bargain Hunt. I was watching Pointless tonight and amongst the contestants were a couple of ex – Local Authority people who now work for the NHS. Alexander Armstrong asked one of them how long he had worked for the NHS and he replied that he had started “yesterday” (!)
    I couldn’t help wondering how many employers in the private sector would be happy for a new employee to have their second day off to appear on a bloody quiz show?

    Huge cheer. Over to Labour Party spokesman. “Yes”. Big cheer.
    Over to LibDem (whom lost her seat in 2015) for 2 minutes unchallenged remoaning. Huge cheer from audience.
    Over to Damien Green. Shouted down by the other panellists. Finished speech. Total silence from audience.

    As Radio 5 Live’s news unfolded during the 4:00 am bulletin, the report on the Prime Minister firmly repeating that she wanted a mandate for a proper Leave negotiation was immediately followed by a statement from the official BBC Opposition spokeswoman, Gina Miller, who of course understands everything the bBbeb needs to squeal inanities whenever they can, just to fill in the gaps left by other opposition parties.

    If she’s so blasted smart, why isn’t she trying to get a seat in Parliament, instead of just annoying more and more voters without realising what a fool she’s making of herself, and also trousering (should that be ‘skirting’) Mr Outraged from Necker’s 25 grand of pocket money!

    So it’s easy for bBeeb ‘reporters’ now; all they have to do is ask Gina Miller’s opinion, disregard the facts as usual, and plough on regardless and trying to avoid the ‘winning team’ of Crobwyn and Abutt and the rest of the sorry crowd…

    I woke up to BBC Radio 4 news headlines at 7am today…
    Second headline was “Police have shot a woman in a raid in Kent. A 16 year old boy was also arrested” (no mention of religion). I think they also breify mentioned the arrest of the knife man near Westminster (no mention of religion).
    About 4th item was the killing of Coptic Christians (no mention of any other religion).

    After the news they interviewed UKIPs Paul Nuttal “who hates Muslims and wants to rip off their Burkas” – plenty of mentions of religion from the BBC for that bit!

      And then Spidery Webb tried to get Lord Carlile to say that offences such as those for which enriching folk have just been arrested / shot for, shouldn’t be described as “terrorism”; unfortunately for Justine, he was having none of it and said that what is terrorism is defined in the Terrorism Act and if such activity falls within that, then it was correct to call it such.

      I suppose Al beebus would prefer to say that a car bombing was a serious parking offence, instead of an act of terrorism,if it could.

    Oh joy, a wonderful bit of push back at the BBC this morning.
    Jonathan Goldberg QC representing Alexander Blackman (Marine A) trounces Charlie Stayt and the BBC’s mealy mouthed reaction to the overturning of the murder conviction against this British soldier in the killing of a Taliban fighter and the recent Marine Sergeant’s release. Our Charlie – who spends more time contemplating his make-up and hairdressing than he does the defence of the realm – delivers lots of the trade mark BBC mantra:
    “Some people might say…”
    The steely Goldberg shoots him down:
    “You pays your money and you take your choice, if you’re a left wing bleeding heart liberal you might think that!”
    And with that Mr Goldberg is already a hero of mine. But he surely deserves a medal citation for his next line to the flummoxed Stayt:
    “You’re paid to be controversial and bleeding heart!”
    This is a fine and rare example of the direct approach which I believe works best. The Beeboid reaches for the snide duplicitous ‘some people might say’ and the interviewee, rather than getting bogged down trying to counter the left liberal arguments, hits back at the weasely Beeboid deploying those arguments. They don’t like it up ‘em.
    Stayt was left reeling: “I don’t think I’m paid to be controversial”
    Presumably he’s no journalist, then?
    As for the bleeding heart accusation – Stayt offered nothing in his own defence.

    The BBC may sometimes, rarely, get all bubbly over Brexit – but there’s always a hangover

    On News Channel this morning we join an English wine grower who was happy to see the over-valued Pound come down to a lower level. He doubled his export orders to the US.

    But the BBC can’t leave it at that ‘despite Brexit’ glass half-full statement….

    Our wine grower is pumped for a down side. Well, there’s always the go-to dreaded ‘uncertainty’

    But then it really goes south when he says “Labour costs may rise”

    Oh my, doesn’t that leave a rather sour taste in the mouth?

      “It is bending history slightly, but in a progressive and useful way” says Moffat, Dr Who writer.

      “bending history” ie lying, but in a “progressive way”. Deceitfully rewriting history but in a “useful way”. Adjusting the truth to advance the religious certainties the left has about the world. The old Soviet Union would be proud of the BBC.

      Would it be ok for right wingers to rewrite history to enhance their present day views, I wonder.

This followed an assessment which concluded that there were grounds to suspect that potential offences under the law have occurred.

        If UKIP get one MP and more than 150,000 votes across the entire country they will be entitled to receive “Short Money” to help pay their expenses. The important point is that the total is increased by £33.33 for every 200 votes gained. Even where UKIP has no chance of winning the constituency votes will translate in to Short Money, provided they have one MP somewhere. On this basis no UKIP vote can be called a wasted vote.

        There may be tactical reasons for UKIP to support a particular non-UKIP candidate, but that should be a very rare exception, and I would prefer it not to happen at all.

    On Fivelive they are discussing LGBT segregation in elderly care homes. The woman says that though people are generally not prejudiced against them, they have low self-esteem and expect them to be; therefore, Emma Barnett advises, they need to ‘come out as not homophobic’ by having a gay rainbow flag in their office for example.

    This is beyond parody. I am sure most gay people are not so pathetic that they assume the worst in everyone and need to be reassured; I have worked with loads of gay people and they never experienced any ‘phobia’ from anyone. This is all 30 years too late. Nobody cares anymore.

    Why pretend your sexuality defines you? I like broccoli; my friend does not. Who cares? I would find it demeaning and a waste of time for everyone to give me special treatment because I like broccoli, or to have pictures of broccoli around them to reassure me they approve of my tastes.

    ‘LGBTQ community’ is nonsense. We are all individuals. I like football, reading and women. It does not mean I am part of the ‘reading’ community.

      Beeb Brother – you are dead right. Most of the regulars on this site will know that I don’t hide the fact that I am gay, but on the other hand I don’t shout it from the rooftops and make a big issue of it – it’s just one part of who I am.
      I must confess that for many years I have encountered very little animosity from other people and in the main people just accept me for what and who I am, and it’s not a problem for them or me. Whether that will change in the future with the increase in the number of the “Peaceful Ones” is anybody’s guess.

        The idea that all ‘victim groups’ must be treated like helpless children is demeaning. If we are all equal, which we clearly are, then let’s just get on with it and stop wasting so much time wallowing in victimhood, much of which is confected as victimhood is such a prized asset in our insane society.

      It hasn’t been a “huge” problem since the fifties. The figures they quote are all bollocks, and as for diesel cars – if they cocked up then, with their preference for diesel based on shoddy, inaccurate data, then they’re just as likely to have done the same thing again, when they try and tell us how bad diesel vehicles are. If they stopped the use of diesel engines tomorrow, the world would grind to a halt. I suppose a return to the Dark Ages is eminently preferable to a few particulates in the air, which most of us can tolerate without undue harm.

      Interesting how all the “scientific facts” which are bandied about, and which politicians unquestionably believe, and cling to without question, invariably result in tougher, more expensive lives for us all, without improving anything. One day, they’ll make a correct judgement, which may benefit us, without costing the earth. But I shan’t hold my breath…

      What you’ll find, especially on local news, are pieces dressed up as news but no more than either (a) free advertising for some local business or (b) a link to a programme on the so-called BBC later. Sometimes even both! (The website is no different, links to “stories”, that are usually things being aired on TV or the dreadful VD show later) The fifth columnists at the so-called BBC love stuff like this because it does their work for them.

      Likewise for Twatter; instead of doing what journalists are supposed to do, you know, like actually getting off their arse and going out finding stories, let’s “see what they’re saying on social media!” I really think this is a big reason why they lost touch with the plebs cos Twatter seems to me to be one big vanity project – the online equivalent of someone jumping up and down to get your attention. Meanwhile the rest of us just get on with it.

    The Beauty Broadcasting Corporation and its Mark Mardell on the BBC Radio 4 News at 1300 absolutely excelled themselves. When the programme started Mardell announced that it would be dedicated to analysing Donald Trumps first 100 days. My instinct was to shut the radio off there and then knowing what was to come however, I decided to persevere, primarily in wondering if I was to detect any support or change of heart. I was not disappointed in the direction the ‘analysis’ took. Apart from one very short interview, all the interviewees condemned DT: he is hopeless, dangerous, unpredictable, he reversed all his rhetoric from his campaign and his team was equally hopeless. Finally, the discussion degenerated into whether he would last his term before being impeached or causing a revolution in the US by his reversals upsetting his elector base. But this is what you get, you stupid US voters, for not voting Democrat! Pure, naked hatred.

    The usual bBBC bias by omission: the woman in a burqa shot by Police yesterday is, according to the bBBC news, just ‘a woman’.

    I just won £1. Placed a £100 bet on the name of the ‘man’ carrying knives in Whitehall.
    Hint: it starts with M.

      Ah, but did you guess the correct spelling? You know when it comes to counting the most popular British boys’ names these days the spelling matters.

    How the bBC tells half a story about yet another child rapist:
    Ex-Jackanory presenter John Earle jailed for sex assaults on boy
    A former children’s television presenter has been jailed for sexually assaulting a young boy almost 60 years ago. Former Jackanory storyteller John Earle admitted indecently assaulting the boy from when he was nine-years-old.

    Anybody know why the bBC left out exactly what station 'Jackanory' was aired on at around 4pm everyday. Which is strange as you can actually buy Jackanory episodes from the bBC store.

    20:50pm R4 wacky A L Kennedy is going to patronise us again.

    “Listening to our media, our public voices, as if we’re listening to people in our everyday lives, holding them to that standard and not their own can help us to know when we’re being driven towards the sound of a faked emotion or spun a tale.”

    Attn – Biased BBCers – re report on Marine A
    Watched that this morning, my wife had subtitles on

    Now folks go quick before they rectify it.
    … racist BBC even on the subtitles
    Watch it on iplayer with the subtitles on, 1hr 47 minutes in
    the typist was thinking, aloud not about Marine A but about his QC
    who happens to be Jewish.
    Be quick, If someone can get a screen grab? that would be gold.
