The BBC is very excited about what is a bit of a non-story as Mueller tries to dignify his witch-hunt with a few Russian small-fry…let’s face it, should there be any surprise that Russia tries to interfere in a US election? Hardly a new tactic for them. And after all the BBC does it, the Guardian tried it and got slapped down. And the US isn’t known for its lack of intervention in other countries’ internal affairs…such the small matter of Brexit. Wasn’t it Reagan and Thatcher who toppled the Soviet Empire? Bet old comrade Corbyn was gutted.
Speaking of which…Comrade Cob-Nut’s alleged dalliance with Commie spymasters hasn’t hit the BBC headlines yet…it’s top story in the Telegraph, it’s in the Mail, not the Guardian of course, it’s in the Times…but for some reason a story about the leader of the Opposition, whom the BBC keeps on insisting is the next, and soon-to-be, PM, hasn’t made it onto their own pages. The BBC seems more concerned about Russian interference in US politics than the fact that a terrorist cheerleader who has close ties to Russia and Iran is so close to the top job in the UK…a man who wants to disband the Army, do away with MI5, trash Trident and neuter NATO….and of course destabilise society and crash the economy. Just how does the BBC manage to ignore this story….can it ride it out hoping it will blow over quickly or will it have to dust off the cover stories that show Corbyn was a flag-flying model figure of the British Establishment?
List the bias here….
Bafta s live on al Beeb news channel. I’m wearing black in solidarity being in solidarity with sexually offended wimmin.
As part of my freedom of expression I’m not wearing any knickers in an attempt to get at acting job
Tip – If you want to win an award tonight be black or female or preferably both.
Someone earlier mentioned something clever about a top trumps kind of thing.
Will tomorrow bemoan
a) lack of black winners
b) lack of women
….oh, go on-you all know your combinations of grievance and who trumps who.
No Muslims though-wait until THEY can make a film.
Why not one about the first gay player in the Saudi Premiere League?
Dear bBBC, the Bafta awards are not news.
The leader of her majesty’s opposition, not to say next potential prime minister being embroiled in spy/collaboration allegations with communist forces is. Why don’t you report it appropriately? Why don’t you want an inquiry? ‘Some people’ are suggesting you are part of a cover up.

Perhaps the reason al beeb doesn’t cover the news that comrade Corbin is a spy for one of blightys’enemies is that every one knows that .
His supporters will probably think it adds to his colourful charm along with support for various terrorist causes like PIRA – those anti imperialist freedom fighters
( for the record – tongue in mine own cheek)

Something else for the BBC to ignore.
BBC London ‘News’: a mosque has opened its doors to the public! There ia a shot of a hijabbed woman on an exercise bike with a smoothie. Khan is there to say how welcome and tolerant etc London is. Pass the sick bag. How about opening no go zones to the public?
Now they report on children being fat and ask some children in London what they like eating. When did social science become news? I want to know things that have been happening not what diets children should have. Total cop out.
There`s simply no news-and even on a good news day(as opposed to weekends), there`s never enough for their endless cycles 24/7. Trump has the airlock on them, and they`re dying like carp in their own millpond.
Only the NHS,Labour, Remainers and their EU-and Big Nanny State of Hillsborough-have time and money enough to endlessly feed the media life support machine with post-it notes and bitchiness.
It is all lies and fake news. We need to drain the millpond here, don`t need Trump-just constructive disruptions like Licence fees and endless mockery.
11pm R5 Stephen Nolan did a long visit a Mosque Day Item.
I don’t know too much of UK Muslims
.. In other countries I know a few upper class Muslims who went to Christian schools cos they give the best education in their area.
But most of my ethnic Muslim friends would be scared stiff of going in a church, cos there is such a fear of apostasy in their community.
Generally they don’t mind me saying Im an atheist in private, but not in public ..they’ve been told at school that all white people are Christians.

Its all a ‘mutual admiration society’, but I am sure our resident Troll will disagree with me.
\\Education Secretary calls for tuition fee ‘variety’//
“More “variety” is needed in the price of university education, the secretary of state said ahead of a government review of the system.”

Get rid of ‘mickey mouse’ degree courses and get school leavers into work where they can save to get a mortgage and put money aside for a pension.
The Unis wont like it because they rely on ‘bums on seats’.

Is Al Beeb ‘campaigning’ against this evil with the same alacrity as it is with the shootings in the US ?
I was thinking of staying in tonight. It’s nippy out, I’m feeling lethargic and it’s nearly two miles walk to my “local” pub…and that’s not up to much. So, I thought, I’ll see if there’s anything decent on the box.
BBC 1 have got Call the Midwife, which has become irritatingly politically correct, having imported a black character into the story and are now busily lecturing us about racism. After that there’s The British Academy Film Awards.
For the love of God, don’t these bleedin’ luvvies spend enough time telling themselves how bloody wonderful they are? And we all know it’s going to turn into a virtue signalling event, upstaging each other in anti Trumpism.
On Beeb 2 we’ve got the Winter Olympics. Wonderful. I mean if I don’t get my usual fix of seeing Clare Balding at least three times a day I get withdrawal symptoms. Then there’s Live at the Apollo, which will, once again, be infested by lefties screaming about UKIP, Trump, Brexit…and being encouraged by a hooting crowd of pimply, ill informed adolescents.
On BBC 4 there’s a real treat for all of us culture vultures, Akala’s Odyssey. A rapper (Akala) follows Homer’s epic story and gives it an “intriguing hip hop slant”. Akala, btw, is a huge fan of Jeremy Corbyn, often writes for The Guardian and likes to lecture on slavery and imperialism. Blimey, I can’t miss that! He apparently raps his way through Greece giving a “splendid performance at Delphi.” Phew!
So, it’s a tough call. A freezing, two mile trek to a miserable little pub where they serve watered down beer, or a night in with the BBC…

I just know that new ‘comedy’ with John Cleese is going to be an abomination.
It is great to read comments on the BBC’s Facebook posts. Nobody is buying their bullshit anymore. Their entire model is like black and white television once colour was available. What sane person would rely on the BBC for their news? We have countless better free services. All those people flitting around looking important during news bulletins must be working to ensure key stories are omitted.

“Is the French wine brotherhood worried about Brexit?”
“ My impression was that on Brexit, Pouilly is at the same time incredibly aware and fantastically clueless. Like most of us, in other words.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43084804
Less of the “Like most of us” Mr Schofield, because we voted out and we know what we voted for.
I am sure that the wine we can get from Aus will be just as good and perhaps cheaper?

The French don’t buy our apples so I’m buggered if I’m going to buy their letters. Hard Brexit Now!
Interesting take on the Corbyn story from George Galloway.
Wednesday BBC2 Dramadoco about honour killing of Bradford girl
“On 14 July 2016, Bradford girl Samia Shahid flew to Pakistan to visit her family. Six days later she was found dead. She was 28 years old. Eight days later, her first husband and father were arrested in connection with her murder. The case was taken up by Bradford MP Naz Shah, who wrote to the prime minister of Pakistan describing the case as an honour killing.
With unique access to some of Samia’s closest friends, this film tells the story of Samia’s life – how her arranged marriage to her cousin broke down and how her decision to divorce and re-marry for love caused a huge rift with her family. The film contains the first interview with Samia’s second husband, who tells the dramatic and tragic story of Samia’s return to Pakistan.Samia’s father was released owing to lack of evidence. He has since died. Her first husband remains in custody and the case in Pakistan continues. He denies the allegations against him.

BBC TWO
I can hardly wait …….
Watched Ch4 doc about Cheddar Man.
A scientific DNA survey shows he came from Mesolithic European population of Middle East origin. (About 10% of the ancestry of modern Britons)
Was then quite surprised to hear one of the experts reveal that Cheddar man was more of a European than a Brit.
That has been kept quiet by the MSM.
Also, older bones ( showing signs of cannibalism) found in the same cave were of no relation, (they must’ve been DNA tested to prove this.) thereby in my unscientific opinion, it would appear that Cheddar man was a newcomer or some tribe that became extinct.
It does look suspiciously like this has been hyped up to justify immigration and keep in trend with the modern PC thinking..
We watched ‘Call the Politically Correct Scriptwriter’ this evening, aka Call the Midwife.
As a drama it is appalling with its moralising.
In the you-can’t-make-it-up highspot, and I kid you not, a black guy who is a stowaway from Nigeria with possible smallpox is befriended by a young Down’s Syndrome youth, but luckily he has leprosy so he can be treated at a special NHS centre funded by UK taxpayers.
Tick tick tick tick.
But We treat the programme as a left wing parody comedy, and it works really well.
Mrs Dysgwr adores it. I simply make my excuses and find something else to do away from the set when it’s on.
Biggest pile of shit on tv.
Watching the BAFTAs has the useful function of giving me some insight into what it feels like to have bulimia.
I haven’t thrown up so often in so short a space of time for several years……….
Dear oh dear…Mary Beard has been in tears from all the negative feedback, the Independent says. (There is nothing independent about the Independent). She’s had flak from colleagues, because of her whiteness, basically.
I think the problem lies with the BBC for putting her in the spotlight in the first place. Not everyone can carry it off. History has become a minefield, not least of all because people like the Beeb have started rewriting it.
So Mary also got it in the neck for a ‘colonial’ attitude. She’s learning the hard way that you’d better be very, very PC if you want to make it in this new PC-crazed world.
We’d better be prepared for a lot more of ‘decolonisation’ crap building up behind the walls of Academe. I sense a lot of hate lurking there…
“She’s had flak from colleagues, because of her whiteness,”
They can’t be talking about her bloody teeth, God only knows what her breath must smell like!
A disgrace how Carolyn Quinn immediately talked over Bernard Jenkin every time he spoke outside the ‘BBC script’ on the Westminster Hour this evening.
I know it’s a common tactic but it seemed particularly conspicuous tonight. Jenkin was not allowed to say anything that hinted at a criticism of Labour, Quinn spoke over him every time in a clumsy attempt to shut him up.
Lol ! Sluff.
I could only stomach the first hour – after I predicted (correctly) each winner. The real doozey was the Rising Star Award – Daniel Kaluuya (me neither), giving the most gut wrenching, cringeworthy and embarrassing speech I’ve ever had the misfortune to hear – including thanking the teacher who taught him acting. I thought, pity he didn’t teach you how to articulate then as he clearly came from the school of firty free and a fird !
Any one seen or heard of Ofcom?
Anyone know what they do ?
Do they work for the BBC ?
Do they do anything ?
A mystery or what ?
Taffman: anyone know what they do?
Collect large salaries?

Then perhaps maxitroll can enlighten us ?
Over to you maxincony………………
Ofcom’s key personnel are:
Chief executive, Sharon White
Board members:
Dr Stephen Unger, appointed April 2015
Graham Mather, appointed June 2014
Jonathan Oxley, appointed January 2015
Ben Verwaayen
Nick Pollard, appointed November 2016
Tim Suter, appointed 29 September 2017
Pollard worked for the BBC, 1977-80. He did a stint at Sky but, interestingly, in 2012, he was appointed to lead the inquiry into Savilles peccadilloes and the Beebs lack of action in tackling him.
Wiki is a bit sketchy re the other appointees.
