    OMG The family cooking competition is on presented by BBCs favourite Mussslim one time bake off winner Nadiya who alone among the winners they have given leg ups to fame and fortune.

    Judging by the little snipes at the British families and glowing praise for the Asian curry I suspect the way this is going, but I may be wrong.

    Well really boring puddings from the Asian family, jalabis and a simple rice pudding flavoured with cardoman.

    Theyre praising the puddings even though they were boring rubbish¬!

    Yes they’ve won. The Brits are forced to be sporting. The Indian family are being smug.

    So nauseating.

      That would be the ‘Rotherham’ the BBC and its fellow travellers tried to sweep under the carpet for a decade, would it?

    Britons should just boycott these rigged competitions. I am sure the Asian family are very good but it was standard Indian famly fare, the two British famiiies produced top class restaurant style meals not fish curry and boring jalabis!!

    Surprise!
    “A man who got £12,500 after claiming his wife and son had died in the Grenfell fire has pleaded guilty to fraud.”

    “Anh Nhu Nguyen was given money, clothing, food, electrical items and a hotel room after pretending to be a survivor of the blaze. He was given around £12,500 in money and possessions from charities and the local council – but actually lived miles away in southeast London.”

    BBC loves banging on about Grenfell “victims” will they be re-running THIS story about a foreign fraudster non-stop for the next 72hrs?

      When the news about Grenfell broke Jon Snow, in his usual state of high moral outrage on Channel 4, exclaimed “This is the sort of thing you would expect to happen in downtown Dacca”. Everything about Grenfell has turned out to be thirdworld and also revealed to the rest of Britain that London as a whole has been turned into part of the thirdworld. Imagine that! Jon Snow not talking complete ballocks!!

    I see the BBC is “celebrating” the 100 year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. But let’s be
    fair at least Iran is showing less enthusiasm than the BBC.

    There’s a new study out that claims the BBC is the most trusted broadcaster there is.

    Ok, so it was commissioned by the BBC, but they can be trusted. A study says so.

    Speaking of which:

    Oh god. Owen Jones on Question Time. I had almost forgotten the joys of dyspepsia and high blood pressure. From Kilmarnock as well so a fair compliment of whining jocks in the audience is guaranteed. Hadrian and Offa let us English down badly.

      There’s a lot of indigenous people living this side of Offa and Hadrian doing more for Great Britain than some of your so called ‘English’ Europhiles on the other side.

      ‘Idiotboy’ – Aptly chosen and aptly named.

    I am having a discussion – is Channel 4 funded by the taxpayer? (C4 official statement says they are funded by ‘advertising and sponsorship’ – perhaps the BBC uses taxpayer money to ‘sponsor’ some suitably left-wing programmes on C4 ) – does anybody know??
