Then we wonder why the likes of Moran get all the plugs on Radio 4 that they need for their books and events?
As well as all those cultural and press reviews that fund her liberal, feminazi views?
Be interested to see who sourced that “I Live the BBC” hashtag.
Got to be a wannabe intern for Lineker or some relative or luvvie partner.
‘Boots has said it is “truly sorry” for its response to calls to cut the cost of one of its morning-after pills.
The pharmaceutical company was criticised after telling the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) it was avoiding “incentivising inappropriate use”.
How dare Boots allude to the actual truth of the matter!!
Meanwhile, ladies, can’t you just hear the raucous cheers going up from chaps everywhere? Come on luv, how about a one night stand, where’s the harm? Blimey, I’ve bought you a drink and even stood you the tenner for your morning after pill!
Whatever happened to companies like Boots? Don`t they know that a lot of us out here WILL shop with them as long as they do NOT let themselves be bullied by the Left?
I`m sick of this endless grinding down of businesses into lefty or green compliance in the face of a few twitter types.
Boots are as gutless as it goes.
Heard one Labour lefty say that Boots have no moral right to stop women getting cheap drugs. Even if their competitors sell them. This is nuts.
As for “moral rights to buy what you like”? Does that go for drain cleaner, acid, guns, knives, cigarettes as well then? Let alone the lefts OWN choice of drugs?
Mad-literally mad.
Mail/Times BBC spends more than £8 a year from every TV licence fee on gold-plated pensions
£1.8bn shortfall in BBC salary based schemes will be funded from licence fee until 2028
even though the staff in it have to have joined BBC before 1989. (so less than half of this weeks list are on it)
It has no cap and can be taken at 60

Maybe the bbc should be sorted out? Surely the bbc are public service workers, public employees albeit of a very elevated and privileged kind? But just how do they differ from sewerage workers or road sweepers? As job creation scheme they are very expensive and inefficient and as for providing a public service?
While our Health and Social Care Services are such a par less state, should we continue to be FORCED to fund a bbc?
Take it back to the level it was at originally and maybe up to the sixties i.e.: factual brief news, a little ‘education’ and some music. The comedy and drama from past, when it was good, could still be put out – all the agenda pushing crap of today should be scrapped.
“Abasheikh, who was jailed for eight years and eight months, also admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply and without authority possess inside a prison a mobile phone in February.
Mohammed was jailed for six years and eight months, Mubidi was sentenced to three years in jail, Khalid was handed a three-and-a-half-year jail term, Sharif was jailed for two years and four months, while Akwari was given an 18-month sentence.”
Take murder, then add religion and you get ‘Honour Killing’. A murder with a special get-out-of-jail-if-I-believe-the-right-god card.
‘Honour killings’: Pakistan closes loophole allowing killers to go free {bbc.co.uk oct2016} Pakistan’s government has closed a loophole (only now in 2016! Why did it take so long?) allowing those behind so-called honour killings to go free. New legislation means killers will get a mandatory life sentence. …
In rape cases, the parliament has for the first time introduced a provision allowing DNA tests to ascertain identity of the offender. Experts believe this will effectively cover up for the weakness in the previous legislation that relied heavily on circumstantial evidence. (this in 2016! What does Sadiq Khan think of all this?)
Labour back on form
Two council officers deliberately delayed investigating paedophile allegations against a Labour politician in order to help the party’s chances in 2015’s knife-edge general election
Seeing as the bBC has a huge hard one for chicks with dicks. I wonder why they haven’t reported this story seeing as they see nothing wrong with supporting Islamic terrorism: The trans fighters of ISIS
Front page article on the BBC News website. Front page headline : “First class ‘may be cut on busy trains'”
Article page headline : “First class could be cut on busy trains, says Grayling” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40690621
And the reason the article is biased is that there is absolutely no mention of the cause of the overcrowding that results in the need to remove First Class segregation from commuter trains. Just like there is never any mention of the cause of the housing crisis in BBC articles. These things just happen, apparently. No cause. Certainly not one the biased-BBC is ever going to mention anyway.
Think they used the wrong photo for that BBC web-site piece. Pic shows local commuter train which I think are classless – have been for years. The First Class/Second Class trains are main line ones.
Farage just needs to deduct the 80k EU demand from the mystical EU Brexit bill (when it’s provided in detail). Initial bill was 100 billion without any specifics, now 60 billion with no details, might as well have been 100 gazillion euros.
At least with this the UK has one detailed line item to counter the mystical EU demand!
now on LBC : the issue of woman banned from school if she wears full burqa
.. presenter mentioned a notice in the Tesco staff canteen
‘Please considerate to your Muslim colleagues during Ramadam, if they are felling tired do your bit to help them with their work by shifting the heavy loads etc’
Special privilege… do my work for me, my religion demands it. No work, no pay is normal, add religion and you get special consideration. Only a Muslim can slaughter your meat for you …. halal!
Whatever Nick Robinson is on in terms of moolah-he should be paid by results.
He was AWFUL on Today this morning.
He interviewed a homeopathic doctor and talked over her, allowed her Stalinist oppo to do the same. THEN gave Stalins granny the final word because the homeopath had had more than her fair share of time!
Rubbish…Robinson clearly had an agenda.
Just before the 8am news -biased as hell.
He then had some piece of junk about Mancunians nicking free bikes left out for Guardian readers by way of a Boris Bike experiment.
Like other privileged Cheshire lads, he feigned a Mancunian bias…as if he WAS a Manc.
Pathetic-Mancunians are NOT the saps of Ariana Grande musings, but will lift free bikes if Guardian reading chimps get public funds to dole them out. Manchester is not Hong Kong, Singapore or South Korea.
But the Left prefer to think that it is-no, way too much scorn for the Left to turn down a free bike. Well done Mancs!
But not yet Liverpool, let`s see then try the free bikes THERE shall we?
Are BBC programme ratings available in public anywhere?
Or are they now hidden?
I have a suspicion the numbers listening and viewing are dropping rapidly for all sorts of reasons.
First thought is BARB for TV, RAJAR for radio ..types into Twitter
You can check the weekly BARB figs here http://www.barb.co.uk/viewing-data/weekly-top-30/
A few months ago stories came out like “BBC dominates 2016 top shows”
But you had to see thru the PR, cos the shows weren’t actually getting many viwers.
It is the UK government that is forcing through positive discrimination in all UK bodies that receive government funding as well as lottery money funding. British Cycling is the latest to yield to this “diversity” push. When Theresa May says “Islam is Peace” you can be certain that the UK Government is in league with the BBC when it comes to positive discrimination in pushing through minimum quotas for “diversity”. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/40692580
@MarkyMark next LBC prog begins with
“In a week when a sex manual for Muslim women was launched we will discuss how faith affects your sex life”
starting now 8pm
(BTW for people without the inside knowledge , Muslims are not sexual prudes.. sex within marriage can be pretty racy ..like Middle Eastern malls have all the exotic lingerie shops etc.)
Just put radio 4 on whilst making a pot of tea.
Randomly flicked to what was called ” A Brief History of Truth”. As I heard Alistair Campbell mention his old mates Blair and Mandelson?
I realised that this would indeed be a very brief history of truth. I turned off, and could only wonder at the BBCs seeming lack of irony and its own deathwish in reminding us all of what happened to truth in 1997-and with Dr David Kelly.
Always came as a surprise that an evil gobshite like Campbell has mental health issues- which knowing his amorality he ll make money out of in a worst selling book.
Why no peerage like the rest of the cronies . Guaranteed central London club , parking and £300 a day .
The jungle drums are telling me that the “gals” at Al Beeb are revolting!
What I mean is their news readers and presenters want more cash – More cash for reading an autocue like their male counterparts.
Nowt on Al Beeb yet about this consternation?
The EU cannot control its borders, neither can the UK……………..

News bulletins on 5live lead with BBC female employees writing to director general about being paid more, followed someone saying it is not on that nurses looking after Charlie Gard have been spoken to harshly by certain members of the public. How is this news? Some rich people want to be richer and some people have been called names.
They actually have a ‘reality check’ function on their website! They take themselves so seriously, leading the fight against fake news. Reality check;: none of this is ‘news.’ It did actually happen, so it is not strictly fake, but it is of no concern whatsoever to, for example, a factory worker in Rotherham. You can see why they hate Trump: they would rather not address any of the stuff which actually matters to people. How dare he mention Muslim immigration, even though it is people’s number one concern. The elites would rather sneer smugly from their snug bubble about gender and ‘diversity’ and never have to deal with the real issues people face, even though these are the struggling and vulnerable people who pay their wages and have been so betrayed by the elites.
As for Trump considering pardoning himself over the Russia stuff, that is absolutely hilarious. That could be the greatest wind up of all, to just pardon himself at the end after they had kicked up all this fuss. The Beeb push this idea of a ‘bunker mentality’ regarding the Russia stuff, which is all they have reported on for so long. He probably just does not care – collusion is not even a criminal offence. If he was just planning to pardon himself all along then clearly the Beeb have been running with a fake news story for months.
‘The UK government is considering plans to make the process of changing legal gender easier’
The quotes from ‘Equalities Minister’ Justine Greening in the on-line BBC report are carefully chosen but in a tv interview she lets slip this statement: “we want the process to be less medically driven”
Meanwhile BBC news gleefully reports that medical authorities are delivering good news to celebate gay men and unemployed prostitutes who want to give blood.
‘Blood donation rules for sex workers and gay men are being relaxed in England and Scotland after improvements in the accuracy of testing procedures. Men who have sex with men can now give blood three months after their last sexual activity instead of 12. And sex workers, who were previously barred from donating, now can, subject to the same three-month rule.’
These two initiatives tell us an awful lot about the power of the liberal media and the lengths to which politicians and civil servants will go in order to pander to leftist opinion.
Think about the likely number of people directly benefiting from these two pointless liberal initiatives. Could there be 100 trans-genders and 100 lonely gays and out-of-work tarts eager to give blood? 1000? It’s virtue-signalling nonsense. And the impact for our wider society? The unforseen consequences? Who cares when the BBC will be sure to give you a boost at the weekend?
We are living in an age of the Career Politician. When we have teens and twenty-somethings elected as politicians and police commissioners. There has been a whole raft of legislation pushing through positive discrimination in every nook and cranny of British society. There has been a revolution and we are just seeing the tips of the icebergs. http://news.sky.com/story/teen-crime-commissioner-in-offensive-tweet-row-10449446
So pleased BBC news makes us privvy to the collective bargaining of the new break-away wimmin’s elite presenters trades union over there at the BBC
And how interesting that the BBC has already begun to cave in to their demands by giving ‘Mel & Sue’ top presenting jobs in the re-launch of the Generation Game.
Of course we now see the female Doctor Who was a pre-emptive concession to these negotiations with the new union
Remember ‘beer and sandwiches’ ? Welcome to the era of lip gloss and Armani hand bags. Smoke-filled rooms – Chanel No. 5
What next for a BBC female makeover?
Steptoe & Daughter, Mum’s Army, It Ain’t Half Hot Dad? What was that one with Eddie Waring… It’s A Faint Out – best not go there… and don’t even think about Jane’ll Fix It
Welcome to the era of lip gloss and Armani hand bags. Smoke-filled rooms – Chanel No. 5
Wouldn’t have a problem with that. The problem is an era of sour-faced, over-promoted, patronising-voiced, nanny-dependent, miserable misandrists.
‘The problem is an era of sour-faced, over-promoted, patronising-voiced, nanny-dependent, miserable misandrists’
Precisely. This will not really be about equality or any kind of better conditions for women in general but instead it will be about the futher aggrandisement of a tiny elite using leftist/feminist ideology to feather their own nests.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the BBC quickly announced that Sue and Mel are now the highest paid presenters. A quick renegotiation of their contracts to present the Generation Game for £2.5 mil each.
Then they would boast that highest paid man (Chris Evans) is in 3rd place. Gender pay problem solved and the TV License paying public will be very happy that even more public money has been spunked away.
The BBC managers can go straight down The Ivy restaurant for a lobster dinner all smug.
The hilarious Mel and Sue are back then?
How are we paying the worthy successors to Eric and Ernie?
How many Yentobs are we paying them? Or are we talking loose change using other baskets of currencies called Garys, Nortons, Huws, Jims or Humphs?
Do tell Beeb…but would warn Mel and Sue that genius and hilarity is a double burden .
Might end up like Any and Dec-whichever one of them is stuck on painkillers. Who knows?
For all the noble talk of gender and racial equality, nepotism is such a problem. The Coren siblings both do exactly the same job as their father, as does Snow, the Dimblebeys and so many others. What were the odds on that happening by chance? One in s trillion?
Rather than not discriminating against women or minorities, how about not discriminating against people who arse not related to you – which is 99.99999999% of people? It just doesn’t sound as good, though, does it? And it must be so inconvenient actually having to apply for jobs. Rod Liddle points out. It would really help if they could sort out the nepotism pay gap but of course they never will. It is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
Of course he’s not a real professor because he has no academic qualifications and has tattoos up his neck. He is in fact a rapper and an extreme left-wing supporter of Jeremy Corbyn.
The Documentary is filmed in Rochdale where he attends a Britain First rally and accuses members of abusing him…….this abuse was actually nothing more than questions shouted at him as to whether he defended rapists.
Sadly, this didn’t stop George Osbourne deciding to mislead the public by printing a misleading headline about this fake news story and tells you all you need to know about the BBC and Evening Standard……..make a documentary pretending to be about the horrific abuse suffered by white English girls at the hands of Pakistani, Muslim men, and then present it as if the “far right” are to blame.
Qualificationist there thirdoption!
He is of course a Professor, because Rachel Dolezal is black and Sue Perkins is funny. He is a Professor at Life Uni and NOBODY has the right to deny him his tenure.
Currently my wife is under Doctor Hook…who is of course a real doctor!
“No matter what they tell you-what you believe is true”. Now THAT is biblically true as carved in stone by Muhammad…or was it that little bloke who was nailed on the cross?
Ah yes-reference ( Book of Gately, Stephen, Boyzone Translation)
A quick look at the BBC News website this morning and the articles on the main page are:
1. William and Harry regret last ‘rushed’ call with Diana (not really news is it?)
2. Stars urge BBC ‘to sort gender pay gap’ (not really news, just what fellow colleagues are saying in the staff canteen)
3. Blood donation rules relaxed for gay men (gay news, say no more)
4. Make changing legal gender easier – minister (trans news, so no more)
5. Mel and Sue to host Generation Game (not really news, just a BBC promotion)
BBC News website is worse than reading Heat magazine. It is written by people in their young 20’s aimed at people in their young 20’s.
The funny thing is how seriously they take themselves, speaking ‘truth to power’ and leading the fight against fake news. There seem to only br a couple of things they ever report on, none of which most licence fee payers care about.
1. Trump is bad, and colluded with Russia.
2. Gender/trans/diversity – a whole melting pot of SJW issues which they Hoover up like a crack addict.
3. Celebrity gossip.
4. Cross media plugs, i.e. they are bringing back the Generation Game.
5. Inconsequential prattle about something warm and inoffensive, such as an 86 year old university graduate.
It is a crap website in every way and always last with the “news”. God only knows how much it cost. Sums up the BBC perfectly, third rate and unprofessional.
Notice Jo Corbin is not on the list of 40 BBC females demanding equality.Wonder if it is because her private politics are a lot more socially conservative than one might think or because she works alongside Andrew Neil and there is an obvious gulf in talent between the two.Should Andrew and Jo be on the same hourly pay structure?
Good question 7. The answer of course is NO! Which makes the whole concept of equal pay rather pathetic.
Still can’t get my head round Jason Mohammed who is way up on the rich list. A complete nonentity in my opinion. But check out his colour and name. Could this be little more than a kind of bBBC virtue-signalling?
She could dig out that moral equivalence chart of hers; the one she used about Israel being too good at defending its population from attack to suit her.
The gender gap angle was an absolute masterstroke of spin, Mandelson at his slippiest couldn’t have done better. Totally deflected public attention from the real issue of a hugely biased left organisation rewarding hugely biased left wing characters with payment way beyond their worth for parroting a progressive left wing agenda.
Maybe so Old, but the good news is that the beebistan does not come out of the whole episode smelling of roses, whichever angle you take. The facts are there for all to see that they’re discriminatory, and secretive, and overpaid. If it damages the beeb in any way, it’s a result in my book.
Very true, Oldspeaker. It’s been dismaying to watch even the (nominally) conservative media fall for this old trick.
The BBC has spun this to perfection. Shame on the Telegraph, Mail etc for missing the real story: the sums paid, regardless of sex, to talentless halfwits whose only function is to spout cultural Marxism.
No-we all KNOW it`s a smokescreen-but like the MPs expenses and Savile, Brand and Ross-it`ll be a slow burner and the fuse is lit.
All my mates now know that the BBC not only are so stupid as to defend their grotesque tax takes from we stiffs?
But they think their talentless poppets are somehow in need of even MORE money for parity!
Try it the other way, you Beeb scum.
Bring down the pay of your blokes to THEIR (still grotesque) levels.
If you don`t-well time to take them to court for malfeasance and corruption. There is NO justification for these pay grades. And until they sort it-nobody will ever again take any lessons from their multimoochers about “current affairs”.
They are now the story, instead of Trump or Brexit. How many Grenfells or dialysis machines are these creeps depriving us of , or preventing us from dealing with?
Buch of prep school nancies full of white privilege due to their elbowed in parents. Dimblebys-FFS-how many generations of these leeches are we going to let them make us pay for?
Although also noticed Sophie Raworth is not one of the 40 BBC Ladies on the list and she must be the most obvious victim of the BBC `s pay policy.Sophie has been at the BBC for years,is arguably the BBC`s most popular presenter and yet is on half or a third the salary of male presenters doing the same job
If she not on the list then how do you know what her total income is ?
Couldn’t she be coining it via umbrella company BBCworldwide payments etc. ?
I’ve never heard of her, but I see she’s done extra progs like who do you think you are
There might be other things like taking more unpaid leave than other colleagues.
Stuffed with left-wing, champagne guzzling, labour luvvies, it is promoted with the tagline “At the height of the 1984 miners’ strike, a group of gay and lesbian activists decide to show their solidarity with the striking miners”
I myself was “oop north” during the miners unpleasantness at the time.
Pride is INDEED the “final word” on what happened.
Oh yes-who can ever forget the Pontypridd puffs and their piano bringing fashionable velour and interior designed quiches into the lives of the blacked-up fanny dancers of Barnsley and Eslington Colliery.
Oh sorry-Islington.
Durham STILL has a surprisingly well-ironed ” Miners Mincing Colliery Band” banner proudly displayed every year by the hard men of the Bronski Delegation.
Anyway-it`s all true.
So this Sunday , are the BBC aggrieved women going against the Bible ?
The parable of the workers in the vineyard – Matthew 20: 1-16 .
To summarise a householder pays workers to toil in his fields . He agrees a day rate of a denarius to the ones who start at 6am . But he also pays the same to those who work only the last hour of the day . The 6am lot grumble about this but he points out they were happy at the beginning of the day with the rate agreed , why be miserable because some others got lucky ?
So I look forward to this discussed on the God Slot on Al Beeb today . In the financial programmes they can explain where the extra money will come from . In Moneybox they can explain how to open an account in a tax haven to do business with the BBC .
In File On Four , Analysis and Cause For Concern they can do the lack of diversity on Al Beeb , ie ; no poor people work there .
It’s like the BBC sells adverts at the start of the news headlines.
..Do you just call them up and say which Social Justice category your newsvert belongs to
“Which account shall we charge yours newsvert to , The Team-Hillary/Hate-Trump account*, The hype Labour account ? The diss Brexit account ? The general hate the RightWing account ? The so called diversity account ?”
(* that particular account appears to be $billions in credit)
At 7am I flicked thru 5 stations and each one led the news with BBC womens pay issue including the 2 local stations aswell as 2,3,4 then Talk Radio LBC also led with it at 7:30am
BBC stations seemed to carry same news at 8am and 9am
“BBC women are underpaid” is a MANUFACTURED narrative cos we only have limited info
The principle is EQUALITY of OPPORTUNITY not about immediately splitting things into gender or skin colour cos that itself is sexist and racist.
If the BBC organised our Olympic team :
The swimming team would be weakened by including token black people
just as the long distance team would be weakened by excluding black people , in order to fit in the required number of whites.
How much much pay goes to Leftwing, Rightwing staff* ?
BBC diversity angst doesn’t include worry about that.
(*There aren’t any out of the closet)
Likewise they don’t consider
How much much pay goes to BBC staff that tweet against Brexit compared to those who tweet in favour?
How much much pay goes to BBc staff that tweet against Trump compared to those who tweet in favour?
BBC pay list might under-represent other groups for all we know
Are there enough red-heads ?
Are high salaries skewed to London/SE ?
Bet there are few Northern dwellers on the list ?
Pay aside, I would like to see a thorough investigation into the preference clearly being given to black and Asian presenters. These now over-represent the proportions of such people in British society – yet, the BBC seems to be increasing their numbers.
The BBC1 programme today, Sunday Morning Live, had multiple BAME persons forced into every interview.
For every 4 people on the sofa only one is ever white. Any TV linkup interviews are almost always Sikh, Muslim or Hindu. 2 out of the 3 presenters are BAME too.
Even the pre-recorded interview was to a Muslim man who has just completed a film where he played the father murdering his daughter in a Honour Killing. I’ve just bought family tickets to see that one at the cinema!
I turned on the TV this morning to see a black man on BBC 1. I moved to BBC 2 to see a black man talking about raspberries in Fife. Back to BBC 1 and now there is an Asian woman talking about flights from Manchester airport.
Saturday night had ‘our’ cultural heritage being enacted, (sweetmakers), and appropriated by Asians and Blacks.
Move to the commercial channels and all furniture is now being sold to blacks. IKEA appear to be the latest ‘converts’, using a lion to draw us in, (but shouldn’t it be a gorilla if we are going to do the race stuff?).
I can’t help but feel that if a ‘diversity’ audit was to be carried out on British media that the ‘underepresented’ would be seen to be the ‘whites’.
Quite right Jim. More and more ads are featuring only black families , yet they only represent 20% of the population. Listening (with rolled eyes) to SML this morning, there was 3 black and 3 white participants, and of course the black members were spouting yet again (yawn) that few ethnics are featured on the box , “and we’re in the 21st Cenchereeee !!!!”. Clearly they don’t watch much tele, as nothing was mentioned about the adverts, and it had passed them by that there are more Asian and black outside reporters and roving journalists on all channels than there are whites.
One moaned that there are few BEMS in the boardrooms of Britain, well how does she know ? Tata Steel one of the biggest companies is owned and the board made up of barely one English man (or woman or transgender (?) ……………….. http://www.tatasteel.com/corporate/management/board-of-directors.asp
The whole thing is fake news. Is that really the most important thing happening at the moment – some rich people wanting to be more rich? All this prattle about gender and ‘diversity’ when the very existence of Western society is under grave threat. It makes me sick.
Strange how the comrades at the Graduina weren’t anything like so exercised about Rusbridger’s gigantic salary, were they? Nor the vast sums showered on Poly Toynbee. Socialist hypocrites – tautology really, isn’t it?
Mark Steyn and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever which has suddenly, ‘popped up’ in Spain – https://www.steynonline.com/7989/diversity-and-disintegration
Thank goodness for Mark Steyn et al. without whom, we would never be aware of the REAL WORLD NEWS which affects (or is to) us. The evil BBC will never report anything that would highlight, challenge or condemn their own narrow views on the World.
I wonder what reality would look like if the Beeb’s world were real?
Everyone wanting to change gender.
White ghettos beating up anyone non white who dares enter.
Unlimited free money for everything everywhere which appears magically.
Nobody ever saying anything that could offend anyone yet still being blissfully happy.
Men raising babies and staying at home whilst women are empowered enough to work 70 hour weeks.
Every organisation having a perfect balance of all races, genders sexualities and beliefs and all still perfectly suited to their jobs and in no way just selected to tick boxes.
All straight white men put in stocks and spat at for causing so much misery.
Anyone not tolerating the above sent to concentration camps.
This highlights the problem with the BBC’s cultural Marxism. It is based on grievances and largely imagined ‘injustices’, in other words on negatives, not on positive improvements to society. The best socialists can manage is vague talk about ‘social justice’, ‘community’ and ‘welfare’ and the logical consequences, even when they arise time and time again, from the gulags to the economic collapses, are glossed over. Even if ‘righting’ a perceived ‘wrong’ causes real harm to people, it is ignored as all that matters is their warped concept of justice. The damage doesn’t matter as long as some minority or principle is appeased.
Your point about feminism is a good example. Manifestly, 1970s style feminism has failed to make either sex happy and has caused real harm to society but because it is based on a notion of ‘injustice’ it cannot be challenged, however much damage it is doing.
BB,
I have thoughts on that: BBC getting, ‘real’.
I for one, would be happy to pay the licence fee if there was a ‘two-track’ BBC News Service. We, the 13% or so, minor ethnics would opt for the ‘Truth News’ – no holds barred, no ethnic commentators or auto-cue readers and the other 87% of foreigners could opt for the ‘normal’ BBC News, i.e. narrow, distorted and massaged to fit the BBC’s liberal views. How good of you to spot my incorrect reference to percentages – just adopting the BBC approach: in their view we cant get enough of their ethnic programme commentators analysing the ‘British’ news laden with foreign views. Indeed, the BBC, as I understand it, are devoted to intensifying the ethnic content and what for? Well, simply in preparation to the time when we British will actually be in reality the 13% and the rest 87%.
Day 5 …. TV Tax Payers request for information on all stars that are hiding their wages in different companies – will these stars step forward and say how much they are being paid from the publics purse? biasedbbc post … more to come …
Very unusual headline above BBC news online story:
‘Rashan Jermaine Charles dies after Hackney police pursuit’.
What are they trying to tell us without saying?
What ever happened to ‘Man’?
Al Beeb put the London police on a pedestal for a while after one was murdered outside parliament by a now dead Muslim terrorist then for killing three Muslim terrorists on London Bridge ( was waiting for albeeb to complain about non use of tazer) .
So today albeeb is back to standard prejudice against police – sorry instruments of state repression – as marxists call them – because a black kid in hackney died after trying to swallow drugs whilst being chased by a brave copper.
I wonder if it would have got coverage on the national news if the kid was white and the copper black. Institutional racist -as they say – in action with al Beeb.
So set your watches , get the popcorn because the local MP may be Diane Abbot – although she might have back to the island for her hols – on parliamentary expenses most likely.
Also in that news – beeboids at each other because of the published wages. Excellent. Let’s have a woman’s BBC channel . It would be cheaper
I do wish they could just not report on cases like this as it stirs things up. My friend works for the Met and he suffers terrible abuse from ‘communities.’
Could they just ignore it? They did not report on certain grooming gangs recently in court. It’s not like Al Beeb does not know how to omit stories when the need arises.
Why can’t people just not commit crime? It is the best way to avoid trouble with the Police. They acted like Duggan was just some poor innocent gangster doing his daily chore of picking up a gun and the evil Police picked on him for no reason. I have a job, worked hard at school and obey the law, therefore I never have any problems with the Police. Is that really so f**king hard?
I hate this toxic victim mentality which our money empowers the Beeb to propaghate. You can say their programmmes are poor, but this is actively making things worse for ordinary decent people. I can imagine my friend getting extra abuse today from people who have been reading the BBC website.
The BBC deliberately encourage division and for that reason alone should be axed. No amount of worthy dramas or nature programmes, past, present or future, can atone for the damage they have caused to this country.
Political correctness is like HIV for the mind, slowly corroding out critical faculties; the Beeb have been stealthily pumping out this virus. Now society is so sick it can probably never recover.
As you say MarkyMark.
Why are the grasping hands WHITE?
If they put it on a bin,no doubt they`ll put all our chopped hands in it otherwise.
Also-shouldn`t one of them have nail varnish on seeing as Islamic State are Izzarding in order to escape from the Syrial Free Army. If you believe that-they simply want to be what they are-to be free to sing “I am what I am”.
Thank you Conchita Wurst!
See what you started?
Funny thing, I’ve never thought of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown as “feisty”. Barking, yes, but not feisty.
“Informed participants questioned the veracity or accuracy of the BBC stats provided by a hapless representative. Age, gender, disability, religious, race and class discrimination still remain embedded in the culture. There is no discount in the license fee for these groups who feel ill served by the national broadcaster.”
Give it time, Yasmin, give it time.
“One Asian attendee asked me why I hadn’t been on any of the key BBC political programmes over Brexit and the election. “Dunno,” I replied. I won broadsheet columnist of the year in the National Press Awards for my political insights, but was still not good enough for Newsnight or all those Andrew Neil shows or Marr.”
Perhaps, Yasmin, because you’re too thick even for the BBC? Now there’s a thought.
Maybe she’s looking for a job on the Wimmins show when the current sisters resign on principle because every one is overpaid . As a chap I wouldn’t mind doing an hour each day chirping on about FGM , MSG, CO2 , un / wanted kids , divorce, glass floor / ceiling and general bitching.and Trump All for £300000 to my production company – Fedup Plc.
Ignoring for a moment the VD-style harrumph and presumption that she should be called by anyone on anything, I am pretty sure she is stuffed in viewers’ faces to the point of saturation anyway.
What is she on about? As persuasive pitches go, she could be an EU Commissioner.
I watched her a couple of nights ago, ‘reviewing’ the press, and it struck me that she always complains about something on the way this country is run, its always – this is terrible — this is obscene – this just isn’t right. Then ends with ‘I’m a British citizen and have always paid my taxes’. Christ, I was born here and have rarely had cause to run down my birth country, until now, for letting in the likes of her decades ago, and for the rest of the migrants who shout loudly about how awful this place is ! Talk to any birth white UK resident and their main grievance will be the migrants who live here. You only had to watch those shouting obscenities in the council offices at Kensington to realise what our country has become. A third world country since the 70’s letting in the dregs from the world. If Yasmin Brown has nothing good to say about the country that took her in, then she should join the rest of her Muslim friends in another part of the world.
SJWs define equality as sameness when in the Biblical sense it meant everyone is worthy of the same love and respect. Men and women have qualities which complement each other – they are not meant to be the same. A few bitter feminists cannot undo millions of years of evolution; it is only for the past 50 years or so that men and women were not expected to and did perform entirely different roles in society.
Women are not attracted to wussy men. Men want a woman to be feminine and look after them; and despite all this ‘body positivity’ crap men will not be attracted to a bloater and single women are often desperately unhappy. They want girls playing football. Who would not be freaked out if their date asked for a kick around after dinner? It has never ever happened to me.The whole system has served our species pretty well up until now. Why is it cool or ‘progressive’ to fight reality, which is so often what these SJWs do?
You don’t get harmony if everyone plays the same note. This supposed rainbow utopia the Left are forcing upon us is more like a cacophonous dystopia, with nobody knowing what their role is or who or what they should be.
I well remember the strikes at both the BBC ,ITV and the Times.
Oh how we wept.
But there you go, we learned something about ourselves.
There was of course no Channel 4 at the time. Since THEY came along, there has been no excuse for them to strike. But this is it!
Come on Lefty Media Scum….let`s see you out on strike.
“Pride”…”Billy Elliot”.
“This is your moment”…
I tried to watch the Panorama about Trump’s ‘Fortress America’ about his enforcement of immigration law. Of course they only focus on poor women and children with lots of emotive music. Good old narrative over fact.
Of course the policy of open borders has no victims whatsoever. How about an interview with the children of someone whose mother was killed by an illegal alien?
Are the only immigrants to anywhere ever women and children? You would think so if you just watched the BBC.
The gender gap revelations give the hideous harridans and hateful harpies at beebistan the perfect excuse to demand even more obscene pay for their non-existent ‘talent’.
And now they can cloak their naked greed in the righteous banner of feminism and egalitarianism, demanding parity with the boys. “It’s not for us, you see, it’s the principle, it’s for the sistas.”
I’ve got a better way of achieving parity: reduce the useless lefty blokes’ salaries to the level of the useless lefty babes’.
Or better still, pay all bbc employees a cleaner’s salary, communist style, like in their beloved Cuba or Venezuela – where people now fight for scraps.
Or even better, scrap the whole subsidised Evil Empire, institute pay-to-view, and give the British public a real alternative like Fox.
Then watch market forces move all their disgusting bloated salaries… south.
No, we are to celebrate their greatness.
In fact, we fail to give them enough awards, commendations and the like.
Until we put them on more award shows, shine that spotlight even MORE on them?
Well, we will need to pay them even more, self esteem issues you see.
So just how far is the BBC up itself? I’m only a casual watcher but by all accounts Chris Froome is pretty good at riding a bike,so
good in fact he looks like winning another Tour of France. Yet, ” he failed to even make the 16-strong shortlist for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year.” Because that’s the title that really matters after a lifetime of sacrifice and commitment to ones chosen sport. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/40692045
I watched a report on ITV News the other day, which showed crowds of Frogs booing Froome as he was completing a stage and informing us that the Team Sky coach had things thrown at it; this was passed off as acceptable rivalry.
I couldn’t help wondering whether behaviour by British (or more specifically English) fans which targeted a foreign sportsman of team here in such a fashion, would receive the same soft soap by our MSM or that of the country whose sporting representatives were the target of similar abuse?
Some telling HYS comments
e.g.
“Froomy is loved by those that love cycling. Ignore the trolls. Who cares about the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year in comparison to winning real sporting competitions?”
“BBC complicit with not liking him. Should be the top story, not a story about an American golfer.
He is up there with Andy Murray as the UKs greatest sportsman.”
“A British sportsman has just won The TdF for a 4th time and the leading article in the BBC’s sports pages is about a US golfer leading in a tournament that hasn’t even finished! Instead this tripe damns with faint praise one of the greatest sportsmen this country has ever produced. Scandalous as we should be celebrating a legend of cycling.
Go Froome – some of us are immensely proud of you.”
It is stunning – it just kills the bbc to say anything positive about this country. They are truly a miserable, subversive bunch of f*****s. Has anyone noticed or is it just us?
Why do you think they love reporting about the “doping allegations” when Team Sky are in the cross hairs, yet are much more reticent and sympathetic when a certain Somalian runner who lives in the US is facing investigations along similar lines?
Helen Skelton is winning the Worst Performance By A Sports Presenter Ever this evening at the terminally boring swimming World Championships in Hungary.
Mucking about, can’t read the autocue … complete shambles. Perhaps she’s over excited about a pay rise due to the shape of her genitals.
Is there an award for this?
I find all sports terminally boring, but saw a bit of cycling, some golf and thought them as boring as it gets. But horse racing and motor racing are similarly pointless.
Is it the sport that is so boring? Or is it Helen Skelton?
She`d have to be as dull as Alan Shearer to claim her prize.
All day today on all news channels I’ve listened to the mind numbing reports that ‘Transgenders’ can now choose their sex without medical evidence. Am I bothered ? – nope. How many do I know ? – none. Will it affect my life ? – no. Are there any living in my village or areas surrounding ? – not that I know of. Sorry, but has the UK suddenly become the most ‘right-on’ country in the world ? Is this sex subject discussed as much in Europe or the other Continents as we are doing now ? God almighty, I couldn’t give a rat’s arse whether someone wants to have the choice of a dick or a fanny – because honestly ? that IS the only choice, the one we were born with, there are no half measures. I’m sure the percentage of those wanting to be something they weren’t born with is absolutely minute, but to listenening to the rolling news, we could be of the impression that every 5th person wants to be an Arthur and not a Martha. Perhaps I should look more carefully at the person sitting at the till in my Co-op, the name on the tag is Leslie – but which one ??????
I`m XX…which used to mean that both my sex and gender were simple enough.
Only the Left and the weird could mess this up and drive a nations kids into therapy, the worng loos or the mental health youth service-which is probably the whole point.
Wish that they`d stop pushing this one-we know what the BBC staff are like post-Savile, and their wish to fish our knickers-and snoop into the kids laundry baskets-is frankly creepy. If we all pretend we`ve got dicks then we might get pay rises-is THAT what the BBC are hoping for?
Brissles – probably because the BBC is full of confused wannabee Arthurs and Marthas. I think their absolute obsession with all this bizarre bullshit is because it is all part of their support for individual rights (often at the expense of communities). They probably also see it as another way to help de-stabilise our society so that we question the norms and standards that have kept our society stable for decades. . Where people instead of just “getting on with it” become obsessed with the self and spend too much time navel gazing and questioning, rather than just getting on with life.
I do actually believe that there are a very few people where genetic imbalances may well genuinely place them firmly in the “not sure” category and I have no real problem with surgical interventions in these cases. But the BBCs obsession with all things (sexual) means that they are unable to just let people get on with it and like a teenage lad with his first porn mag they cannot just cant get enough of it and leave it alone.
I think there is also another less obvious reason why they broadcast all this crap. I think that more irrelevant “white noise” stories that the BBC covers, the less attention that is given by the public to the really important ones such as immigration figures to the UK or the recent Hammond fueled brexit cave in over extended EU residents access to the UK (because apparently business needs it). Real news often just fades into the background as people just mentally switch off.
The gender thing seems to be reaching fever pitch. Quite why all of a sudden is a real mystery but for some perverse reason the bbc is just loving it. I mean it’s not as though there are any other World problems that require attention and resources is it?
Oaky, totally agree with everything you say. Certainly no-one wants to return to the days when such things were swept under the carpet, prosecutions brought for sexual preferences, and single pregnant women were sent to ‘mother and baby homes’ ; however, we’ve reached the stage where ‘bringing it out in the open’ is not good enough anymore, we have to endure having it rammed down our throats as well (joke there somewhere), with no thought for dignity or decency. And can anyone tell me what the Gay Pride rallies are all about ? why are they necessary ? the LGBT are singling themselves out in one respect with their ‘look at me’ attitude, yet want to become the norm and accepted as part of ‘normal’ society, – or do they ?
Brissles – Pride seems to be about “militant exhibitionism” and very little else. What better chance to strut your stuff in your suspenders and crotchless jeans in London, and not get arrested. Says all that we need to know about the BBC – that they cant get enough of it.
Throughout my life I have personally known a few gays, (one of them was a very good mate) – and yet again they couldnt get there head around all this rubbish either.
I have never met anyone transgender and I am the most sociable person imaginable – I have met hundreds and hundreds of people. Why are they obsessed with an issue which affects such a tiny, tiny number of people? I guess they get full virtue points without having to actually do anything. It shows how insular they are to keep banging on about this even though it is of no interest or concern to 99.9% of people.
BB – I think the BBC loves to virtue signal and celebrate “diversity” which at its best is irrelevant to normal people and at its worst is downright destructive to our society. It is a reflection of this organisation which has a perverted and decadent outlook on anything which flies in the face of normality.
Unfortunately because its funding is not directly related to the popularity of its programmes it can indulge every little unwholesome/deviant peccadillo its overpaid and decadent editors and producers wish indulge themselves with. It is not surprising that Jimmy Saville was one of the BBC s top “talent”for years the only thing that surprises me is that there is not more of them.
Here we go again on the BBC gravy train
Countryfile.
Yes they’ve shipped a whole team out to Alaska to film brown bears.
Really relevant in these times of brexit and farming subsidies.
Not that I have got anything against brown bears, but over the years I have seen them on virtually every documentary that the BBC has put out for the last fifty years. I feel I personally know every last one of them.
Perhaps it’s for the yoof of today who don’t realise that outside their bedroom there is a world out there beyond Facebook and instagram
I also expect them to find a glacier that has receded by about 1000 miles to prove global warming.
As if life isn`t hard enough for these vulnerable bears? They have to share their ice with a BBC helicopter landing, leaving its oil all over the place whilst the BBC greenies add salt tears to their drinking water as they bemoan the rest of us back home for driving to grannys.
Doesn`t Attenborough have enough stock footage where he fakes his encounter with the bears in Chester Zoo or such?
Those poor bears-by the time the BBC have stuck those cameras and tracking devices on them, they`ll be dead or unable to creep up on their prey.
Then the BBC will be abck again to say that climate change is wiping them out.
As opposed to the oil slicks, helipcopters, tracking devices and endless Papa John pizza boxes c/o we mugs back here.
Not simply global warming davylars. The exceptional levels of methane production due to the brown bears’ almost exclusive high protein salmon diet will melt a 3m thick ice-sheet in close to 28 minutes – using the Harrabin-Monbiot scale.
What about the transgender brown bears?
Do they lift the log up first before they go – or do they sit on it?
Maybe the BBC should send another film crew to investigate this delicate matter!
Brissles ,
I’ve come to the conclusion half the country and the Conservative government in particular have gone stark staring bonkers. Its just pandering.
All this self identifying stuff is utter rubbish and against biology .You can’t cheat your chromosomes no matter what you call yourself .
Of course the media especially the BBC revell in it .Where will it all end ?
All this self identifying stuff is utter rubbish and against biology
And therein lies hope and salvation. Ultimately, social engineering cannot compete against nature or the traditions and social customs we derive from it. They tried that in the Soviet Union and at huge human cost, thought they had everything redefined and under complete control, with no possibility of escape. And it all collapsed in a heap and human nature, with its need for normality, tradition, family and religion kicked back in, starting within a matter of months.
Watching BBC News ,now, Jane Garvey R4 – she wants pay parity … does this mean as much as the other people? What is her wage – she does not say?
“… it’s about fairness for everybody.” – but Jane Garey does not mention cleaners or other workers, only those on the list.
Odd, that the top executives in the BBC knew about this for years, as they have access to payroll, and the executives did nothing. But Lord Hall kept drawing his pension early and claiming expense like £34 for hospitality.
Why aren’t the BBC headlining anything from the Corbyn interview whereby he essentially misled the electorate (mainly students) stating he was wiping out their debt. How many votes did he buy on the back of this total lie and how might this have affected the outcome of the election. No doubt if it had been any other party, it would have been headline news! Typical BBC filtering of the REAL news.

But just how do they differ from sewerage workers or road sweepers? As job creation scheme they are very expensive and inefficient and as for providing a public service?
While our Health and Social Care Services are such a par less state, should we continue to be FORCED to fund a bbc?
Take it back to the level it was at originally and maybe up to the sixties i.e.: factual brief news, a little ‘education’ and some music. The comedy and drama from past, when it was good, could still be put out – all the agenda pushing crap of today should be scrapped.

‘Honour killings’: Pakistan closes loophole allowing killers to go free {bbc.co.uk oct2016}
Pakistan’s government has closed a loophole (only now in 2016! Why did it take so long?) allowing those behind so-called honour killings to go free. New legislation means killers will get a mandatory life sentence. …
In rape cases, the parliament has for the first time introduced a provision allowing DNA tests to ascertain identity of the offender. Experts believe this will effectively cover up for the weakness in the previous legislation that relied heavily on circumstantial evidence. (this in 2016! What does Sadiq Khan think of all this?)

How is this news? Some rich people want to be richer and some people have been called names.
They actually have a ‘reality check’ function on their website! They take themselves so seriously, leading the fight against fake news. Reality check;: none of this is ‘news.’ It did actually happen, so it is not strictly fake, but it is of no concern whatsoever to, for example, a factory worker in Rotherham. You can see why they hate Trump: they would rather not address any of the stuff which actually matters to people. How dare he mention Muslim immigration, even though it is people’s number one concern. The elites would rather sneer smugly from their snug bubble about gender and ‘diversity’ and never have to deal with the real issues people face, even though these are the struggling and vulnerable people who pay their wages and have been so betrayed by the elites.
As for Trump considering pardoning himself over the Russia stuff, that is absolutely hilarious. That could be the greatest wind up of all, to just pardon himself at the end after they had kicked up all this fuss. The Beeb push this idea of a ‘bunker mentality’ regarding the Russia stuff, which is all they have reported on for so long. He probably just does not care – collusion is not even a criminal offence. If he was just planning to pardon himself all along then clearly the Beeb have been running with a fake news story for months.

The spirit of David Cameron lives again – remember he enjoyed nothing better than a good write up from the Guardian/BBC
One has to wonder what our present so-called Conservative government is planning to ‘conserve’ ?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40692782
‘The UK government is considering plans to make the process of changing legal gender easier’
The quotes from ‘Equalities Minister’ Justine Greening in the on-line BBC report are carefully chosen but in a tv interview she lets slip this statement: “we want the process to be less medically driven”
Meanwhile BBC news gleefully reports that medical authorities are delivering good news to celebate gay men and unemployed prostitutes who want to give blood.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40669950
‘Blood donation rules for sex workers and gay men are being relaxed in England and Scotland after improvements in the accuracy of testing procedures. Men who have sex with men can now give blood three months after their last sexual activity instead of 12. And sex workers, who were previously barred from donating, now can, subject to the same three-month rule.’
These two initiatives tell us an awful lot about the power of the liberal media and the lengths to which politicians and civil servants will go in order to pander to leftist opinion.
22 likes
Think about the likely number of people directly benefiting from these two pointless liberal initiatives. Could there be 100 trans-genders and 100 lonely gays and out-of-work tarts eager to give blood? 1000? It’s virtue-signalling nonsense. And the impact for our wider society? The unforseen consequences? Who cares when the BBC will be sure to give you a boost at the weekend?

So pleased BBC news makes us privvy to the collective bargaining of the new break-away wimmin’s elite presenters trades union over there at the BBC
And how interesting that the BBC has already begun to cave in to their demands by giving ‘Mel & Sue’ top presenting jobs in the re-launch of the Generation Game.
Of course we now see the female Doctor Who was a pre-emptive concession to these negotiations with the new union

Wouldn’t surprise me if the BBC quickly announced that Sue and Mel are now the highest paid presenters. A quick renegotiation of their contracts to present the Generation Game for £2.5 mil each.
Then they would boast that highest paid man (Chris Evans) is in 3rd place. Gender pay problem solved and the TV License paying public will be very happy that even more public money has been spunked away.

For all the noble talk of gender and racial equality, nepotism is such a problem. The Coren siblings both do exactly the same job as their father, as does Snow, the Dimblebeys and so many others. What were the odds on that happening by chance? One in s trillion?
Rather than not discriminating against women or minorities, how about not discriminating against people who arse not related to you – which is 99.99999999% of people? It just doesn’t sound as good, though, does it? And it must be so inconvenient actually having to apply for jobs. Rod Liddle points out. It would really help if they could sort out the nepotism pay gap but of course they never will. It is like turkeys voting for Christmas.

BBC3 is due to show a documentary by an individual called “Professor Green”
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/celebrity/professor-green-i-was-subjected-to-abuse-at-britain-first-rally/ar-AAoBrD1?li=AAmiR2Z&ocid=spartandhp
Of course he’s not a real professor because he has no academic qualifications and has tattoos up his neck. He is in fact a rapper and an extreme left-wing supporter of Jeremy Corbyn.
The Documentary is filmed in Rochdale where he attends a Britain First rally and accuses members of abusing him…….this abuse was actually nothing more than questions shouted at him as to whether he defended rapists.
Sadly, this didn’t stop George Osbourne deciding to mislead the public by printing a misleading headline about this fake news story and tells you all you need to know about the BBC and Evening Standard……..make a documentary pretending to be about the horrific abuse suffered by white English girls at the hands of Pakistani, Muslim men, and then present it as if the “far right” are to blame.
Absolutely shameful.

2. Stars urge BBC ‘to sort gender pay gap’ (not really news, just what fellow colleagues are saying in the staff canteen)
3. Blood donation rules relaxed for gay men (gay news, say no more)
4. Make changing legal gender easier – minister (trans news, so no more)
5. Mel and Sue to host Generation Game (not really news, just a BBC promotion)
BBC News website is worse than reading Heat magazine. It is written by people in their young 20’s aimed at people in their young 20’s.

2. Gender/trans/diversity – a whole melting pot of SJW issues which they Hoover up like a crack addict.
3. Celebrity gossip.
4. Cross media plugs, i.e. they are bringing back the Generation Game.
5. Inconsequential prattle about something warm and inoffensive, such as an 86 year old university graduate.

So this Sunday , are the BBC aggrieved women going against the Bible ?
The parable of the workers in the vineyard – Matthew 20: 1-16 .
To summarise a householder pays workers to toil in his fields . He agrees a day rate of a denarius to the ones who start at 6am . But he also pays the same to those who work only the last hour of the day . The 6am lot grumble about this but he points out they were happy at the beginning of the day with the rate agreed , why be miserable because some others got lucky ?
So I look forward to this discussed on the God Slot on Al Beeb today . In the financial programmes they can explain where the extra money will come from . In Moneybox they can explain how to open an account in a tax haven to do business with the BBC .
In File On Four , Analysis and Cause For Concern they can do the lack of diversity on Al Beeb , ie ; no poor people work there .

The principle is EQUALITY of OPPORTUNITY not about immediately splitting things into gender or skin colour cos that itself is sexist and racist.

For every 4 people on the sofa only one is ever white. Any TV linkup interviews are almost always Sikh, Muslim or Hindu. 2 out of the 3 presenters are BAME too.
Even the pre-recorded interview was to a Muslim man who has just completed a film where he played the father murdering his daughter in a Honour Killing. I’ve just bought family tickets to see that one at the cinema!

Move to the commercial channels and all furniture is now being sold to blacks. IKEA appear to be the latest ‘converts’, using a lion to draw us in, (but shouldn’t it be a gorilla if we are going to do the race stuff?).

Quite right Jim. More and more ads are featuring only black families , yet they only represent 20% of the population.

Clearly they don’t watch much tele, as nothing was mentioned about the adverts, and it had passed them by that there are more Asian and black outside reporters and roving journalists on all channels than there are whites.

This highlights the problem with the BBC’s cultural Marxism. It is based on grievances and largely imagined ‘injustices’, in other words on negatives, not on positive improvements to society. The best socialists can manage is vague talk about ‘social justice’, ‘community’ and ‘welfare’ and the logical consequences, even when they arise time and time again, from the gulags to the economic collapses, are glossed over. Even if ‘righting’ a perceived ‘wrong’ causes real harm to people, it is ignored as all that matters is their warped concept of justice. The damage doesn’t matter as long as some minority or principle is appeased.
Your point about feminism is a good example. Manifestly, 1970s style feminism has failed to make either sex happy and has caused real harm to society but because it is based on a notion of ‘injustice’ it cannot be challenged, however much damage it is doing.

BB,
I have thoughts on that: BBC getting, ‘real’.
I for one, would be happy to pay the licence fee if there was a ‘two-track’ BBC News Service. We, the 13% or so, minor ethnics would opt for the ‘Truth News’ – no holds barred, no ethnic commentators or auto-cue readers and the other 87% of foreigners could opt for the ‘normal’ BBC News, i.e. narrow, distorted and massaged to fit the BBC’s liberal views. How good of you to spot my incorrect reference to percentages – just adopting the BBC approach: in their view we cant get enough of their ethnic programme commentators analysing the ‘British’ news laden with foreign views. Indeed, the BBC, as I understand it, are devoted to intensifying the ethnic content and what for? Well, simply in preparation to the time when we British will actually be in reality the 13% and the rest 87%.

Al Beeb put the London police on a pedestal for a while after one was murdered outside parliament by a now dead Muslim terrorist then for killing three Muslim terrorists on London Bridge ( was waiting for albeeb to complain about non use of tazer) .
So today albeeb is back to standard prejudice against police – sorry instruments of state repression – as marxists call them – because a black kid in hackney died after trying to swallow drugs whilst being chased by a brave copper.
I wonder if it would have got coverage on the national news if the kid was white and the copper black. Institutional racist -as they say – in action with al Beeb.
So set your watches , get the popcorn because the local MP may be Diane Abbot – although she might have back to the island for her hols – on parliamentary expenses most likely.
Also in that news – beeboids at each other because of the published wages. Excellent. Let’s have a woman’s BBC channel . It would be cheaper

I do wish they could just not report on cases like this as it stirs things up. My friend works for the Met and he suffers terrible abuse from ‘communities.’
Could they just ignore it? They did not report on certain grooming gangs recently in court. It’s not like Al Beeb does not know how to omit stories when the need arises.
Why can’t people just not commit crime? It is the best way to avoid trouble with the Police. They acted like Duggan was just some poor innocent gangster doing his daily chore of picking up a gun and the evil Police picked on him for no reason. I have a job, worked hard at school and obey the law, therefore I never have any problems with the Police. Is that really so f**king hard?
I hate this toxic victim mentality which our money empowers the Beeb to propaghate. You can say their programmmes are poor, but this is actively making things worse for ordinary decent people. I can imagine my friend getting extra abuse today from people who have been reading the BBC website.

Funny thing, I’ve never thought of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown as “feisty”. Barking, yes, but not feisty.
“Informed participants questioned the veracity or accuracy of the BBC stats provided by a hapless representative. Age, gender, disability, religious, race and class discrimination still remain embedded in the culture. There is no discount in the license fee for these groups who feel ill served by the national broadcaster.”
Give it time, Yasmin, give it time.
“One Asian attendee asked me why I hadn’t been on any of the key BBC political programmes over Brexit and the election. “Dunno,” I replied. I won broadsheet columnist of the year in the National Press Awards for my political insights, but was still not good enough for Newsnight or all those Andrew Neil shows or Marr.”

SJWs define equality as sameness when in the Biblical sense it meant everyone is worthy of the same love and respect. Men and women have qualities which complement each other – they are not meant to be the same. A few bitter feminists cannot undo millions of years of evolution; it is only for the past 50 years or so that men and women were not expected to and did perform entirely different roles in society.
Women are not attracted to wussy men. Men want a woman to be feminine and look after them; and despite all this ‘body positivity’ crap men will not be attracted to a bloater and single women are often desperately unhappy. They want girls playing football. Who would not be freaked out if their date asked for a kick around after dinner? It has never ever happened to me.The whole system has served our species pretty well up until now. Why is it cool or ‘progressive’ to fight reality, which is so often what these SJWs do?
You don’t get harmony if everyone plays the same note. This supposed rainbow utopia the Left are forcing upon us is more like a cacophonous dystopia, with nobody knowing what their role is or who or what they should be.

Apparently the beeb’s top women ‘stars’ are revolting. Well, we on biased bbc have long known that – but not much more revolting than the men, surely.
“Women’s Hour host Jane Garvey tweeted that female BBC stars were “revolting”.”

I well remember the strikes at both the BBC ,ITV and the Times.
Oh how we wept.
But there you go, we learned something about ourselves.
There was of course no Channel 4 at the time. Since THEY came along, there has been no excuse for them to strike. But this is it!
Come on Lefty Media Scum….let`s see you out on strike.

I tried to watch the Panorama about Trump’s ‘Fortress America’ about his enforcement of immigration law. Of course they only focus on poor women and children with lots of emotive music. Good old narrative over fact.
Of course the policy of open borders has no victims whatsoever. How about an interview with the children of someone whose mother was killed by an illegal alien?
Are the only immigrants to anywhere ever women and children? You would think so if you just watched the BBC.

Yes BB, all immigrants are winsome women and cute kids, and all future doctors and engineers.

The gender gap revelations give the hideous harridans and hateful harpies at beebistan the perfect excuse to demand even more obscene pay for their non-existent ‘talent’.
And now they can cloak their naked greed in the righteous banner of feminism and egalitarianism, demanding parity with the boys. “It’s not for us, you see, it’s the principle, it’s for the sistas.”
I’ve got a better way of achieving parity: reduce the useless lefty blokes’ salaries to the level of the useless lefty babes’.
Or better still, pay all bbc employees a cleaner’s salary, communist style, like in their beloved Cuba or Venezuela – where people now fight for scraps.
Or even better, scrap the whole subsidised Evil Empire, institute pay-to-view, and give the British public a real alternative like Fox.
Then watch market forces move all their disgusting bloated salaries… south.

No, we are to celebrate their greatness.
In fact, we fail to give them enough awards, commendations and the like.
Until we put them on more award shows, shine that spotlight even MORE on them?
Well, we will need to pay them even more, self esteem issues you see.

So just how far is the BBC up itself? I’m only a casual watcher but by all accounts Chris Froome is pretty good at riding a bike,so
good in fact he looks like winning another Tour of France. Yet, ” he failed to even make the 16-strong shortlist for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year.” Because that’s the title that really matters after a lifetime of sacrifice and commitment to ones chosen sport.

I watched a report on ITV News the other day, which showed crowds of Frogs booing Froome as he was completing a stage and informing us that the Team Sky coach had things thrown at it; this was passed off as acceptable rivalry.
I couldn’t help wondering whether behaviour by British (or more specifically English) fans which targeted a foreign sportsman of team here in such a fashion, would receive the same soft soap by our MSM or that of the country whose sporting representatives were the target of similar abuse?

Some telling HYS comments
e.g.
“Froomy is loved by those that love cycling. Ignore the trolls. Who cares about the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year in comparison to winning real sporting competitions?”
“BBC complicit with not liking him. Should be the top story, not a story about an American golfer.
He is up there with Andy Murray as the UKs greatest sportsman.”
“A British sportsman has just won The TdF for a 4th time and the leading article in the BBC’s sports pages is about a US golfer leading in a tournament that hasn’t even finished! Instead this tripe damns with faint praise one of the greatest sportsmen this country has ever produced. Scandalous as we should be celebrating a legend of cycling.
Go Froome – some of us are immensely proud of you.”

Why do you think they love reporting about the “doping allegations” when Team Sky are in the cross hairs, yet are much more reticent and sympathetic when a certain Somalian runner who lives in the US is facing investigations along similar lines?

I find all sports terminally boring, but saw a bit of cycling, some golf and thought them as boring as it gets. But horse racing and motor racing are similarly pointless.
Is it the sport that is so boring? Or is it Helen Skelton?
She`d have to be as dull as Alan Shearer to claim her prize.

All day today on all news channels I’ve listened to the mind numbing reports that ‘Transgenders’ can now choose their sex without medical evidence. Am I bothered ? – nope. How many do I know ? – none. Will it affect my life ? – no. Are there any living in my village or areas surrounding ? – not that I know of. Sorry, but has the UK suddenly become the most ‘right-on’ country in the world ? Is this sex subject discussed as much in Europe or the other Continents as we are doing now ? God almighty, I couldn’t give a rat’s arse whether someone wants to have the choice of a dick or a fanny – because honestly ? that IS the only choice, the one we were born with, there are no half measures. I’m sure the percentage of those wanting to be something they weren’t born with is absolutely minute, but to listenening to the rolling news, we could be of the impression that every 5th person wants to be an Arthur and not a Martha. Perhaps I should look more carefully at the person sitting at the till in my Co-op, the name on the tag is Leslie – but which one ??????

I`m XX…which used to mean that both my sex and gender were simple enough.
Only the Left and the weird could mess this up and drive a nations kids into therapy, the worng loos or the mental health youth service-which is probably the whole point.
Wish that they`d stop pushing this one-we know what the BBC staff are like post-Savile, and their wish to fish our knickers-and snoop into the kids laundry baskets-is frankly creepy. If we all pretend we`ve got dicks then we might get pay rises-is THAT what the BBC are hoping for?

Brissles – probably because the BBC is full of confused wannabee Arthurs and Marthas. I think their absolute obsession with all this bizarre bullshit is because it is all part of their support for individual rights (often at the expense of communities). They probably also see it as another way to help de-stabilise our society so that we question the norms and standards that have kept our society stable for decades. . Where people instead of just “getting on with it” become obsessed with the self and spend too much time navel gazing and questioning, rather than just getting on with life.
I do actually believe that there are a very few people where genetic imbalances may well genuinely place them firmly in the “not sure” category and I have no real problem with surgical interventions in these cases. But the BBCs obsession with all things (sexual) means that they are unable to just let people get on with it and like a teenage lad with his first porn mag they cannot just cant get enough of it and leave it alone.
I think there is also another less obvious reason why they broadcast all this crap. I think that more irrelevant “white noise” stories that the BBC covers, the less attention that is given by the public to the really important ones such as immigration figures to the UK or the recent Hammond fueled brexit cave in over extended EU residents access to the UK (because apparently business needs it). Real news often just fades into the background as people just mentally switch off.

Oaky, totally agree with everything you say. Certainly no-one wants to return to the days when such things were swept under the carpet, prosecutions brought for sexual preferences, and single pregnant women were sent to ‘mother and baby homes’ ; however, we’ve reached the stage where ‘bringing it out in the open’ is not good enough anymore, we have to endure having it rammed down our throats as well (joke there somewhere), with no thought for dignity or decency. And can anyone tell me what the Gay Pride rallies are all about ? why are they necessary ? the LGBT are singling themselves out in one respect with their ‘look at me’ attitude, yet want to become the norm and accepted as part of ‘normal’ society, – or do they ?

Brissles – Pride seems to be about “militant exhibitionism” and very little else. What better chance to strut your stuff in your suspenders and crotchless jeans in London, and not get arrested. Says all that we need to know about the BBC – that they cant get enough of it.
Throughout my life I have personally known a few gays, (one of them was a very good mate) – and yet again they couldnt get there head around all this rubbish either.

I have never met anyone transgender and I am the most sociable person imaginable – I have met hundreds and hundreds of people. Why are they obsessed with an issue which affects such a tiny, tiny number of people? I guess they get full virtue points without having to actually do anything. It shows how insular they are to keep banging on about this even though it is of no interest or concern to 99.9% of people.

BB – I think the BBC loves to virtue signal and celebrate “diversity” which at its best is irrelevant to normal people and at its worst is downright destructive to our society. It is a reflection of this organisation which has a perverted and decadent outlook on anything which flies in the face of normality.
Unfortunately because its funding is not directly related to the popularity of its programmes it can indulge every little unwholesome/deviant peccadillo its overpaid and decadent editors and producers wish indulge themselves with. It is not surprising that Jimmy Saville was one of the BBC s top “talent”for years the only thing that surprises me is that there is not more of them.

Here we go again on the BBC gravy train
Countryfile.
Yes they’ve shipped a whole team out to Alaska to film brown bears.
Really relevant in these times of brexit and farming subsidies.
Not that I have got anything against brown bears, but over the years I have seen them on virtually every documentary that the BBC has put out for the last fifty years. I feel I personally know every last one of them.
Perhaps it’s for the yoof of today who don’t realise that outside their bedroom there is a world out there beyond Facebook and instagram
I also expect them to find a glacier that has receded by about 1000 miles to prove global warming.

As if life isn`t hard enough for these vulnerable bears? They have to share their ice with a BBC helicopter landing, leaving its oil all over the place whilst the BBC greenies add salt tears to their drinking water as they bemoan the rest of us back home for driving to grannys.
Doesn`t Attenborough have enough stock footage where he fakes his encounter with the bears in Chester Zoo or such?
Those poor bears-by the time the BBC have stuck those cameras and tracking devices on them, they`ll be dead or unable to creep up on their prey.
Then the BBC will be abck again to say that climate change is wiping them out.
As opposed to the oil slicks, helipcopters, tracking devices and endless Papa John pizza boxes c/o we mugs back here.

And therein lies hope and salvation. Ultimately, social engineering cannot compete against nature or the traditions and social customs we derive from it. They tried that in the Soviet Union and at huge human cost, thought they had everything redefined and under complete control, with no possibility of escape. And it all collapsed in a heap and human nature, with its need for normality, tradition, family and religion kicked back in, starting within a matter of months.

Tomorrow’s BBC TV Tax review … Day 6 … TV Tax Payers request how long these inflated wages have been paid – last 20 years (Forget Women’s Pay Parity … don’t they mean equality …
Watching BBC News ,now, Jane Garvey R4 – she wants pay parity … does this mean as much as the other people? What is her wage – she does not say?
“… it’s about fairness for everybody.” – but Jane Garey does not mention cleaners or other workers, only those on the list.
Odd, that the top executives in the BBC knew about this for years, as they have access to payroll, and the executives did nothing. But Lord Hall kept drawing his pension early and claiming expense like £34 for hospitality.

Why aren’t the BBC headlining anything from the Corbyn interview whereby he essentially misled the electorate (mainly students) stating he was wiping out their debt. How many votes did he buy on the back of this total lie and how might this have affected the outcome of the election. No doubt if it had been any other party, it would have been headline news! Typical BBC filtering of the REAL news.
