The BBC is pretty much a law unto itself, neither taking notice of government concerns about its lack of impartiality nor of the Public’s concerns, brushing them both aside with arrogant contempt whilst continuing to undermine the nation state its values, culture and stability…ironically supposedly intent on creating a diverse but cohesive society in which all faiths and races trust each other and get along famously. The BBC’s actions in fact do the very opposite of that creating instead a divisive, segregated, tribal society that is rapidly falling apart. Just look at the way the BBC has reported on Brexit and demonised Leave voters whilst encouraging the view that the nation is now divided into two irreconcilable warring camps, The BBC has given every encouragement to Remain voters to think Brexit isn’t going to happen whilst providing a platform for EU black propagandists to peddle their nonsense whilst painting a picture of a post-Brexit Britain as an utter disaster…everyday we have an anti-Brexit story….such and such an industry will collapse, workers will flee, airplanes will be grounded…yesterday we had two pro-EU types on Today telling us that farming will be destroyed and the environment and countryside laid waste if we do free trade deals with America.
This isn’t reporting, it is campaigning for an agenda set by the self-selected ‘elite’ who work at the BBC regardless of what anyone else thinks….if you disagree the BBC will find some way of silencing you….no platforming, or inviting you on but only to rubbish and ridicule you or the last resort, calling you a racist, a nazi or ‘of the Far Right’ in order to ‘taint’ you and make you unwelcome in decent society.
One of its favourite campaigns is of course based around immigration. The BBC wants open borders and seemingly unlimited immigration, disguising it if necessary as refugees and asylum seekers but knowing full well they are economic migrants.
Today we had another blast of emotive coercion as we were fed a stream of heart-wrenching tales of ‘refugees’ desperately risking their lives to find safety and a warm welcome in Europe….we heard tales of rape, pregnant women making treacherous journeys, desperate and dangerous treks at the mercy of people traffickers and the sea. We were told a woman just had to leave Libya because it felt like a prison…but she had travelled there to use it as a stepping stone to Europe…so she had no intention of staying there anyway…if she hadn’t voluntarily gone to Libya she wouldn’t be in that ‘prison’…and it seems pretty much an open prison in which people can come and go as they like.
We are told that the EU attempts to stem the flow of illegal migrants is putting their lives in danger…again…no…they had no need to make the attempt but are encouraged to do so by the likes of the BBC and the NGOs who participate in this people trafficking. The blood is on their hands.
We heard from a charity worker that this was ‘such a huge tragic issue….how can we let such a tragedy happen?’ The charity worker was ‘revolted at how we treat this issue…we should be ashamed of ourselves’.
No counter voices to this propaganda…just Emma Barnett agreeing with every word and happy to peddle the lies.
If she’d listened to the BBC this morning in a report from Uganda where refugees are fleeing from Sudan we hear what is going to be Europe’s future….as the refugees flood in the place has descended into the oldest form of tribalism and enmity…the future is desperate.
Curious how the BBC can see that in Uganda but not in Europe as it encourages vast flows of migrants to come here with massive expectations that can only be disappointed and thus lead to discontent and conflict.
In Italy they are starting to understand the problem and who is causing it as they seize NGO ships that recklessly aid the traffickers and try to undermine the Italian state and the rule of law…
The frustration, there, is that the charity boats are operating outside democratic control and taking matters into their own hands: the coastguard estimates that a third of asylum seekers who land in Italy are landed by NGOs. And when the Italian government asked the NGO rescue boat operators to sign a code of conduct (including taking a policeman on board to ensure no laws are being broken), Save the Children agreed, but three of the eight refused – including Jugend Rettet. Since then, things have escalated. The Iuventa, which is run by Jugend Rettet, has been seized by Italian coastguards. The local prosecutor, Ambrogio Cartosio, says he has “evidence of encounters between traffickers, who escorted illegal immigrants to the Iuventa, and members of the boat’s crew.”
With the Aegean migrant route closed after the EU’s deal with Turkey, crossings to Italy are up by a third so far this year – as you might expect, the body count of those who died trying to make the crossing is up by a similar amount. The Italian public have had enough. The former Mayor of Lampedusa, who won a UNESCO prize for her support of migrants, has been booted out and replaced by someone who takes a harder line. But if the NGOs don’t recognise government authority – indeed, pride themselves in opposition to “state actors” – then what to do? The Italian government has started to give its answer.
Maybe the time has come for the State to step in at the BBC as it runs out of control ‘operating outside of democratic control and taking matters into their own hands.’
The BBC is a law unto itself working to its own agenda, an agenda that is set on undermining society, the nation state and the rule of law in order to create some student utopian dream-world where there are no white people, no Tories, no Israel, no Christians and no Donald Trump.
The BBC is dangerous and deluded, all the more so as it has the stamp of official approval and the inherited trust and respect from its past glories which it exploits to now peddle the dangerous narratives it now sees as the future to a trusting audience.
How do we get rid of these troublesome priests?
It would be nice if “the government” saw the BBC as a threat to it. But it doesn`t.
Last year we voted the leave the EU. the Americans voted for Trump.
Both were earth shattering slaps in the face of the governing elites and after 45 years of global mindwashing too.
Sadly, the Deep State has not been dug up and put on the bonfire.
It seems confident and insouciant both sides of the Atlantic.
But, as ever it has seriously miscalculated. But they have all channels blaring, all the foghorns and all the media outlets to tell us that we`re wrong and worthless-and they`ll overturn us.
Let them try.
Most of us still know enough about our history to know when it was right to overturn the tyranny…from Wat Tyler through to Winston and all points inbetween.
I`ll not go to my grave knowing that an Alastair Campbell or an AC Grayling fucked my family over.
I despise them.
The BBCs presumed role as a state within a state is obvious-but , like the Euro we wll see them out.
Kipling, Orwell?…I`ll not be able to look Solzhenitsyn or Havel, Sakharov or Bonner square in the face at St Peters Gate if the likes of Clegg turned out to be more manly, more powerful than me and mine.
Fuck off-these pussy willow ponces need to be served up to IS, not allowed to speak in my name much longer.
The only conclusion to draw is that successive British Governments have seen the BBC as a NET BENEFIT in propagating propaganda that successive British Governments want propagating. The BBC is part of the system – it is not separate from it. Look at educational policy for start – this has helped create the “snowflake generation”. So one needs to analyse what the British Government have been doing. During this “net benefit to the British government period” the BBC have been allowed to become more and more extreme.
In term of British Government we have entered the period of the careerist politician. However, Jeremy Corbyn is not a careerist politician – he is an extremist activist hoping to smash the entire British system, while acting like a friendly uncle. The younger generation may just elect him into power. Successive government policy have created a generational divide, and a nation with enormous and still growing debt.
Remember it was the British People not politicians nor the British government that voted for Brexit, in spite of an enormous propaganda campaign against it. The average parliamentarian, including Theresa May were against Brexit.
The only way to end the BBC tax is by organising a ground level populist movement and by recruiting as many influential and articulate people to the cause as possible. That means including people like Jeremy Paxman. One can also mount a free market argument against the BBC tax in an attempt to attract influential business people.
“Successive government policy have created a generational divide”. Only partially true – the left have mainly created this divide by keep telling the young that the Conservatives are all selfish old people who don’t want to help the young. Constant repetition has made a very large part (i.e. the gullible, shallow-thinking part) actually believe it to be true. Whereas the reality is that Labour governments have always been the worst for young people (as well as the old and middle-aged – effectively anyone not living off the public teat). They are also told that the Left are the caring ones, despite Conservatives, on average, giving more to charity than lefties. The Left always believe that it’s up to the state to give other people’s money to the “worthy causes”.
This portion of the young riot on the streets if anyone from the right of Stalin/Corbyn gets elected. By continuing with this and denying the fact that the left-wing are the new establishment, the young sheep actually believe the left’s lies. That’s why Blair wanted a ridiculously large percentage to go to “University” as that’s the place where the young will be indoctrinated. I am heartened to see that there are a lot of young right-wing bloggers now but the left-wing minded gits who run Patreon and You-tube etc. are trying to make life difficult for them and are trying to ban free speech from the right and centre. Some of the ones, e.g. Sargon, consider themselves as left of centre but hate Corbyn even more than the Conservative Party.
The Left/BBC did the same in Scotland. The Lib/Lab/SNP launched a joint anti-Conservative campaign over decades and kept telling the Scots that the Conservatives were anti-Scottish. That despite the number of Conservative MPs who are/were Scottish. The only major thing the Conservatives did differently in Scotland was the Poll-tax. Scotland was seen as a good test for the new policy; big enough to test whether the policy worked but not too big so the cancellation of it, if it failed, would be too expensive. The left claimed it as the “English Tories” having an attack on Scotland. Only now, after decades, is Conservative support in Scotland beginning to recover.
Labour was always a supporter of Scottish independence – right up to forcing the devolution vote. The SNP always saw devolution as a stepping-stone to becoming a territory of Germany (or the EU as it used to be called) and many Labourites supported it until they realised that Scottish independence would mean almost continual Conservative government in England!
This is how propaganda works. Keep telling people they are victims and select a chosen enemy to blame (Tories, the English etc.) and by repetition a large number will start to believe it, even if the person can see no actual evidence for the claim. This is how Socialism always works: Lenin and Stalin blamed the aristocrats (not entirely blameless to be fair), the Church, landed peasants and the Jews. The Nazis blamed the Jews, the churches and bolsheviks. The BBC/Corbyn blame the Conservatives, the Royal Family, businessmen, aristocrats and the working-class who voted for Brexit.
Is not the bias problem of the BBC, caused by it being formed by Royal Charter thus under state control? To quote from https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/royal-charters/chartered-bodies/ :
“This last consideration is important, since once incorporated by Royal Charter a body surrenders significant aspects of the control of its internal affairs to the Privy Council. Amendments to Charters can be made only with the agreement of The Queen in Council, and amendments to the body’s by-laws require the approval of the Council (though not normally of Her Majesty). This effectively means a significant degree of Government regulation of the affairs of the body, and the Privy Council will therefore wish to be satisfied that such regulation accords with public policy.”
As the privy council does not report its work, it is very difficult to ascertain if it has any regular input to directing the BBC. Anyone know what ‘qualified to first degree level’ is?
Of note is the leanings towards Brexit for the members of the Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport Committee. At the end of Parliament 2015-17 out of the 11 members, only 3 were pro Brexit.

Here’s a wee experiment to measure the BBC’s pro-Muslim bias if you can be bothered; you probably know what the answer will be so perhaps it’s not worth your effort. But, if you can be arsed, visit their webshite and in the search engine in the upper-right corner and type in Muslims and Christians respectively. You will subsequently observe the significant amount of Muslim brown-nosing links compared to the scant Christian entries. As one example, the BBC have an entry for Muslim ‘comedy’. Now, you will be forgiven for asking why are our License Fees are being spent on reporting this utter drivel? You will find no such entry for Christian comedy.
Sorry for typos, folks. The ale has got the better of me.
It would surely be a wonderful demonstration of British democracy and an advertisement to governments around the world for the British government to take control of its independent, public broadcaster. Great idea Alan.
“independent, public broadcaster”
We are not talking about an independent broadcaster, we are talking about the BBC. Do keep up.
According to the facts, 52 percent voted for Brexit, and half of those who voted Remain respect democracy. So the half that voted Remain because they do not respect democracy, make up the 25 percent who have been successfully brainwashed.
BBC brainwashing on Multiculturalism is produced by censoring the existence of naughty and unintelligent ethnics on the BBC, which can only be successful with young low IQ middle class white people who live in the type of nice area that I live in, and have therefore never seen or come into contact with naughty or unintelligent ethnics during their childhood, and therefore believe that ethnics are a Master Race who should be beyond criticism, because they are seen as morally and intellectually superior too White people, as seen on the BBC.
BBC brainwashing on Brexit seems to be similar too, but less successful than on Climate Change. The BBC preserving ignorance about Atmospheric Physics and European Governance by censoring books, articles and scientific papers written by “Banned”, “Gagged“, “Not a Green” and “Wrong sort of Chap” (see below)
“Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast (what is acceptable pace?), it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.

Tuberculosis (TB) incidence has increased in England and Wales since 1987, with much of the increase in migrants from high TB incidence countries. …. The National Health Service increasingly depends on healthcare workers (HCWs) trained abroad, often from areas of high TB incidence. .. Pre-employment screening for active disease may not be enough to prevent the occurrence of these incidents (latent TB occurs much later). {Survey of tuberculosis incidents in hospital healthcare workers, England and Wales, 2005}
– If the rate and number of migrant nurses is increasing, then logic implies that the number of incidents will increase if nothing has been done.
– What happens when a nurse is found to have TB? What are the impacts?
– Retrace the nurses steps, who had TB, to see if any patients were infected and say sorry? What if they were children?
– That care worker/nurse cannot work in the NHS anymore, so loss of a nurse (reduced numbers)
– What if they infected other nurses? Then a whole ward or hospital is infected and shutdown.
– Can the NHS give a cost to all these unintended consequences created by finding TB in a migrant nurse?
Stop TB in our NHS System (which will stop Austerity)! Think of the NHS and the Children!
Should the government take control of the BBC? No it should not take control , it should merely abolish the LF and stop the subsidy to Ch4 and let the market decide their fate. The government has no role in broadcasting . I would go further and open our airwaves and internet to any and all commercial organisations and allow the people to choose what they watched and listened to in terms of news and current affairs.
Of course this will not happen. The Labour Party have a powerful state funded propaganda machine in the BBC which they will never give up voluntarily . Such is the dominance of the BBC that almost everyone employed in the so called arts sector is to a greater or lesser extent dependent upon it, so they all profess undying love for the corporation. The liberal elite rightly regard the BBC as their mouth piece and will never let it die. The Tories are in awe of the corporation and I suspect they see it as a necessary evil , vital to keeping the Brits anethetised to the reality of Islamification, which they have no clue how to resist.
Fighting the dominance of the BBC is in effect therefore , like taking on the whole political and social establishment of our country. They regard the BBC as the cement that keeps them in power and therefore essential to their well being. If Netflix, Amazon , other digital formats begin to threaten the dominance of the corporation the elite will move to ensure that dominance is maintained.
Here is my view on the BBC and its bias, anti Brexit, anti Trump, Islamophilia, protection of terrorists, pro-immigration, support for the climate change myth etc. It is the bloody Government line they are putting forward. They are not bullying the Government; they are expressing the Government’s partly hidden agenda.
So the question should the Government take control of the BBC is irrelevant; it already has.
And that explains why MPs and Ministers support the Licence tax and rarely criticise the BBC
GWF,
You could argue that the BBC has taken control of the Government .
A Five Live phone in yesterday was about people with offensive views. One man texted to say his daughter’s boyfriend was “extremely right wing”. The evidence? He had voted for Brexit and liked Donald Trump.
Welcome to the extreme right wing, citizens. If the BBC had its way, we’d all be on cattle trucks to the re-education camps.
No mention of any “extreme left wingers” who support Corbyn or Maduro. Can anyone guess why?
No. We do not need any state-funded ‘news’ organisation. We need free-market supplying enterntainment and the news – funded by the people who watch the programmes that are broadcast, whether by subscription or advertising.
But I would say that successive Governments have undermined democracy and the rule of law in the UK , which are effectively dead now.
Stop relying on daddy government to do things for you. Stop paying the fee, make sure all friends and family stop paying also. The last thing we need is for the state to take back control of the BBC and give it a renewed mandate.
