Friday seems to be the day our exit from the EU is going to be determined so the BBC in onslaught mode .
A week before a Head of State is due to visit and certain types are queuing up to disrupt it .
The Russians being blamed for another chemical incident so no more involvement of Engerland in the World Cup or maybe we ll win it as a protest .
and TR remains banged up with a politically delayed appeal process .
More than enough for us to rage about .Good Luck England
BBC rich list of stars’ salaries is farcical cover-up, says presenter
\\ A rich list of BBC stars’ salaries due to be published next week will be the “greatest work of fiction since Harry Potter”, one of its top presenters claims. //

Treezer Quisling Chamberlain Mayfly.
I am glad I never voted for your party or Labour.
The last time I voted I voted for the local residents Association and it got the Tories out of power in a Tory stronghold where the local MP is one of your ministers. That is how Brighton changed hands to the Greens as well. First the local government then the national MP. I can see that happening to your party as well. Bye bye Tories. You have manged to subvert a party that dates back to the 17th Century. An achievement done in the space of 2 years!
Back to Wiltshire.
Did anyone else notice the careless talk – that costs lives – coming out of the TOADY Programme this morning? Apparently the Skripals were poisoned by something THOUGHT to be a Novichok.
That was revealing if it was not an inadvertent error or misspeak on the part of the 100% accurate BBC.
BBC desperately trying to square the nations nationalism into their sick globalist agenda..
No respite from the relentless propaganda.

Flying the flag: What this World Cup has done for England
Carl Jones Pub landlord
“After Brexit, I saw how divided people were – lots of strong opinions, people disagreeing.
“When I took the pub over, I wanted to show that everyone is welcome, as there are lots of cultures here.”
Rev Coralie Mansfield Vicar
“It’s a quintessential English rural village, but it’s starting to change and diversify.
“I do have mixed feelings about the flag. It represents an identity, and that can pull people together and give a sense of unity.
“But it can also be a symbol of exclusion – and associated with the wrong kind of nationalism.”
“People thought there might be trouble with Russian fans. Not at one point did I see any fighting at all.
“Everyone was so nice – one B&B owner bought us a cake to help us celebrate beating Tunisia.
“People perceive Russians as hooligans and not welcoming, and that’s really sad. Instead of attacking us, the locals wanted photos with the flag.”
People thought?
you mean the libtards and the BBC, many who wanted to boycott the games, and conspired to spread the fear stories.
very orwellian quotes
Talksport coverage unanimously mentions how good the WC has been for fans who went. Tricky for the beeb to fit this into their fear-based agenda.
They’ve mostly ignored it so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see something leftfield (lack of gender neutral toilets in the stadiums?) appear in Fergie-time.
“Trump ready to offer UK zero tariff trade deal” trumpets the Express on its front page.
Good news, you might have thought. Strangely the Beeb Webshite seems remarkably insouciant, and omits any mention of this piece of important news, no doubt too busy cheering the pathetic blimp and London’s descent into Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isn’t it extraordinary that despite everything the scum-life like Khant, Berk-o and the Beeb have thrown at him, the great man is still willing to put the UK at the front of the queue and cut special deals, when we desperately need them like never before? (Contrast with back-of-the-queue O’Barmy.)
The depressing and sad thing is 2 years ago we could have got the countries economy really stoked up, with trade deals to start post Brexit.
Instead we have remainer Teresa May, determined to keep us, as much in the EU as possible, until another vote or general election.
Hopefully Trump will embarrass May by talking trade deals,
to which she will look silly for being an unready traitor.
And talking of news the beeb don’t want you to know, here’s a bit of good news from America, tucked away where you’ll never find it:
“US jobs growth stronger than expected”.
Go on, I dare you.
Isn’t it strange that our hopes of leaving the eu as we voted for could very well be delivered by the eu.
It’s obvious that May is a full on wet liberal remainer and she has capitulated on absolutely everything the eu have told her to do (she thinks that is negotiating)
The likes of soubry, grieve and Miller have won (for now at least) in making Brexit worthless.
Our best hope is that the eu will still not accept all of May’s many many concessions and we get our Brexit (not one of the bastard versions made up by the remoaners)
Eu, you are our hope, please refuse the latest pathetic appeasing offer and let us go.
Only a useless English negotiator could think that paying £39 billion to have virtually the same arrangement is a good deal.
Emmanuel, right on! “Isn’t it strange that our hopes of leaving the eu as we voted for could very well be delivered by the eu.”
Maybe some clever jiu jitsu on the part of the PM and her cabinet. Am clutching at straws there but using the weight and direction of travel of the Federalist EU against itself, may just be the way to throw them off. As I have pointed out before I think Mutti is seeking to destroy the EU from within.
On Any Questions one panellist, Baroness Deech I think, suggested that the men were in charge of the EU. It is true, although she did not make the point clearly enough and did not separate elected leaders of nations from the current EU oversight patriarchy. That allowed a Remainer on the panel to obfuscate. Another panellist – possibly the same one – suggested that Theresa May had been to Berlin on Thursday to meet Angela Merkel merely to ‘receive her orders’ for Friday’s meeting at Chequers.
The other possibility was that there was some ‘girl talk’ about sorting out Europe from the disastrous course it is apparently set on. Sort of ‘Church of England meets Lutheran Church’ to talk about the problems and ways to deal with them?
I wonder …..
I also wonder if some of our politicians, notoriously slow learners in the past, are picking up on some of President Trump’s ‘moves’ and are developing ‘body swerves’ of which Bobby Charlton would have been proud in ’66?
Emmanuel Goldstein
I am afraid that Mrs Merkel, Empress of Europe, might have already given the ‘go ahead’?
My test for Brexit is simple enough-how will we stand with America and will North Shields fishing boats be back out on the seas again.
If May is prepared to snub the USA as she`s doing, and she`s happy to let Heath run our fleets into the ocean bed from beyond his circle of hell-then she`ll be joining him soon as the biggest traitor I`ve ever known in a lifetime.
I think she`s been deliberately crap, we may well find that Brussels got her to stand and nobbled Leadsom. I see no other reasons why she`s been so politically self-destructive.
Corbyn then civil war it is then. Surely to God no copper or squaddie down here will defend THAT piece of fuzzy crud.
Let the top brass, common purpose types join us all out here in the streets , Lots of nail bars, charity runs and cake stalls, be nice to see them amongst us.
Of course she never teally wanted us to Leave in any meaningful way. And those in the elite that she reports to and represents certainly didnt. The whole negotiation has been a charade so that the elite can say that they havent totally driven rough shod over the democratic wishes of the British people. Given that the elite hold all the levers of power and almost all of the media it is quite likely that they will get away with conning the British people that democracy is still alive and well in the UK.
But if a new charismatic leader emerges , even a decade from now , they have given him or her the perfect platform upon which to justly claim that the people’s votes mean nothing , that British democracy is a sham and that therefore something else is required. We shall see what happens.
Note that amidst all that twaddle about the NHS being 70 on the 5th July, that Nye Bevan died on the 6th July 1960.
How apt, probably choked on the Kinnocks family jewels.
He`s got a crap statue in Cardiff, maybe we should attack it. And get one put up for Attlee, Beveridge and Churchill (ABC)-the Three Wise Men who DID create the NHS, not just sing songs and blowhard as the Original Welsh Windbag did.
Wow just watching half time Sweden v England the tw*** (had 3 pints) put and advert on for womens sport…..an extra 500 hours of womens sports on the BBC….who but who gives a flying fu** about women’s sport, except perhaps the BBC.
It’s that bbc tosser comentator that just reels out, what he thinks are utterly fascinating statistics and trivia.
I think i’ll look for a foreign channel to watch it on.
All the England players look tense and afraid, why don’t they relax and smile?
And only the Beeb who don’t have to worry about viewing figures would commit to 500 hours of womens sport for events where hardly anyone watches.
But hell put it on because in a couple of years time all sports should be amalgamated and off gender norms meaning that women will feature in very few sports.
I believe I’ve found a solution to the blimp problem.
The USAF should dispatch a fighter jet to take it out, on the grounds that it represents a danger to the fleet of US helicopters shuttling the President and his entourage to and from the US Ambassador’s residence in Regents Park.
Of course if a missile were to go astray and take out the Houses of Parliament, it would be a tragedy.
And if a missile were to reduce Broadcasting House to ashes, we here at the Biased BBC would be inconsolable.
With that in mine we beseech any careless US pilots to be careful NOT to key the coordinates 51.5189° N, 0.1439° W into their missile control system.
Or any potential jihadi
Remember Theresa May’s promises from the past …
A clear promise {Theresa May – gov.uk 12 December 2012}
Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.
As yesterday’s census statistics show, the legacy we’ve been left with is a substantial one. Between 2001 and 2011, more than half of the growth in the population of England and Wales was accounted for by immigration.
Since we came to government, we’ve taken action across the board. We’ve capped economic migration, reformed family visas, and cut out the widespread abuse of the student route into the country.
And the results of those changes are beginning to show. Official statistics, released two weeks ago, show that in the year to March, we cut net immigration to Britain by one quarter – that is, by 59,000 people. That’s the biggest fall in net migration since 2008.
And we can expect immigration to continue to fall.

\\ Appeal a Crown Court verdict
You can appeal against your conviction, sentence or both.
It does not matter if you pleaded guilty or not guilty.//

Police? Enforcement officer? Nope … “Visiting Officers visit unlicensed addresses to check the TV Licence requirements for the property. They can transfer TV Licences from a different address and update our records to confirm that a licence is not needed. Where a set is being used without a TV Licence, they take a statement from the occupier that can be used as evidence in a prosecution case.”
http://visitingofficers.co.uk/the-role/
As with any role where you are visiting members of the public, you need to be aware that you don’t know who’s going to answer the door. You should always take the appropriate safety measures and if at any point you feel unsafe during a visit you can leave immediately without question. Once again, your safety is always our top priority.
Big business hasn’t really thought this through.
They are doing all they can to stop the democratically voted for brexit and going for a 1% brexit.
Now that May has made the Conservative party unelectable and Corbyn will likely get in, he will tax ‘big business’ til the pips squeak.
On the bright side, we should see less of the likes of soubry, Morgan, grieve, Hammond and the other traitors gobbing off against the people they are supposed to represent (or is it ‘resent’)
BBC, current and historical..
Since I believe politicians -the establishment – have no soul or heart I can understand why they decided not to send any members of the ruling class to the World Cup .
I can imagine the advise from the civil service – don’t worry -enderland will go out against a decent team so no loss .
We have to have some relationship with Russian whatever they have done .
Pardon my ignorance because there has – no doubt – been done behind the scenes stuff . Maybe safer not the make a royal chairman of the FA .
Congrats to Engerland . Let’s hope Croatia do the business with ruski
But what’s this? I thought it was gay pride DAY, but msn informs me it’s Pride MONTH. Why don’t we just call it Pride Century, every day, and make it compulsory for all youngsters to be buggered at least once so they can make an informed choice?

I dont particularly object to the sexuality of males, but do get very irritated by a grown man paid lots of money to act and talk like a 13 year old girl on TV, squealing and limp wristed, you know who you are Alan, and which it seems is the whole point of his act, and if it was done as a parody would be vilified as a hate crime
Likewise, I don’t object to what consenting adults get up to, but I do mind having it politicised, glorified, proselytised, sanctified and rammed down my throat.
So to speak.
And the funniest thing of all ? its the very “minorities” that the BBC glorify that absolutely hate and assault homosexuals….and Jews and “attacts are increasing I wonder why…………
A Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner tried to block a sex license for a gay sauna – because it’s too close to a local mosque.
Greenhouse Health Club, which has operated in Luton for nearly two decades, had been seeking a license that would allow it to sell sex toys and show adult films.
However, the owners have now withdrawn the application, after encountering strong resistance from local residents and the newly-elected Police and Crime Commissioner.
Bedfordshire PCC Kathryn Holloway, a former TV presenter who has no first-hand experience of policing, told Luton Today that the license was inappropriate because the venue was too close to a local mosque – a five minute walk away.
She warned that granting the license would cause “widespread offence and very deep concern”, and that if it was granted “a number of potential policing issues may arise” due to a “very significant Luton mosque” based five minutes away.
Gay pride march through Luton anyone ?
And Holloway is a Tory. She’s also a luvvie.
But there is never a planning problem opening a Paedophile shop (also known as a Kebab shop).
Anyone noticed Google Maps, north of Westminster, has a road coloured with the gay flag colours marking the Gay Pride route.
It routes right past BBC Broadcasting House (probably to pick up extra marchers) but it also carefully threads between 2 mosques keeping the furthest distance away as possible.
Just once in my life can the organisers please march past a Mosque to see how much support they get from the Muslims rather than stick to hideous middle class white areas of London.
Its a bit like the nigger word they can use it all the time but anyone else..only white girls allowed, and lets dont go there about the circumstances that only female members of our population are allowed to use that silly word, ,….but same with the gay lobby you want act like that you have to be gay any parody… villified, we have entered into a very sinister state of the world with word considered as crimes worse than rape and assault, unless those rapes and assaults are commited angainst certain members of society
Everyone talking about this stupid word “brits” who are “brits” I am not sure I was educated and recognised as British and lets see …British = Brit where does Pakistani lead us any one can anyone please explain this racism…I am seriously considering a test case for racism if anyone refers to me as a “brit”

Funny how it’s been evolved from ken Williams, dick Emery and now to some channel 4 type -Alan Clare? And the multimillionaire Irish chappy who does a talk show – thankfully not on my ‘record’ list. I like the calman queer who talks about her wife – but got fed up with hearing that so avoid like so much of this unnatural stuff.
Yes congrats indeed and may I posit. enough dusky members of the team to ensure sufficient coverage by the BBC
Boris gets the comments he deserves
I wonder how many members of the bullingdon club know anything about footy – I’m guessing being rugger types was a requirement .
As for mr Johnson – give up on politics and take the peerage because you obviously have no political beliefs apart from self interest .
They may have an understanding of throwing their glasses into the air but would no doubt have no comprehension of the beer falling to the ground, with no bollinger as for mr johnson: keep going hes a perfect thorn in the side, some parties need this
Phew!
Comments, as ‘they’ say, could be going better.
And what a joy to watch a game of football rather than the performances that ALL of the South American teams brought to this tournament, dishonesty cheating assaults and provocation of the opposition in every single game, all a complete disgrace despite how “talented” some of them apparently are, what an example to younger people about how to play this game, what would ANY of them done after goung up 2 0 ? we would have seen complete and utter time wasting and histrionics for 45 minutes
Looks like the national socialists in the state media biased BBC cut the unapproved broadcast of the celebrating English fans and does not approve of Englands win. Probably supporting their friends in the EU team…

Personally I’m over the moon Trevor, absolutely over the moon!
And it was a game of two halves, Brian, with a goal in each and none against. Well done, England! I ‘watched’ the text while at the PC.
One slight worry, the match stats.
England Shots 12. England Shots On Target 2.
Oh well, at least a 100% ‘conversion rate’ is impressive but may I say that one Sir Bobby Charlton CBE would have probably had twelve shots all to himself when in an England shirt and most of them would have been on target and troubled the goalkeeper. Same for Geoff Hurst.
England may need to do better with shots on target to win the World Cup.
Good luck Kyle Edmund. Dig deep!
As you say Brian, game of 2 halves weren’t it? Pleased for the lads, pleased for the fans, best to do the talkin’ on the pitch, we’re keeping our feet on the ground, don’t mind who we play in the semis, sometimes your name is on the cup but we don’t believe in that, did well to get here, amazing scenes back home, pleased for the fans (haven’t you done this bit?)….is that enough clichés?
Well anyone watching on an iplayer probably deserves it anyway LOL and a timely warning about the reliabilty of news on the internet…if you wish to not take the opportunity to watch it on TV tough shit really
This is a follow up to my rant about ‘business’ and its relationship to Brexit in the previous Thread. It is occasioned by Mr Enders of Airbus meddling ‘like a Russian’ or, more correctly, ‘an American President’, in the Brexit process again this weekend.
I note with some amusement that BBC R4 had a contributor on one of its main News programmes yesterday (TOADY/TWatO/TWT) who had been an official at the Dept. of Trade and he (as a Remainer or neutral) echoed my sentiments of a day or two before. Business has had plenty of warning of Brexit, whether ‘Hard’, ‘Soft’, somewhere in between or ‘BRINO’.
Should any of you good B-BBCers and Brexiteers get caught in arguments over the EU and Brexit with your ‘opponents’ stating that “Business is warning against Brexit all the time.” I suggest you use a few choice words.
No, not those sort of words.
Try instead some or all of these words: ‘Carillion’, any rail company you care to mention but ‘Northern Rail’ must be currently in pole position, ‘Volkswagen’, ‘Tesco’, ‘British Home Stores’, ‘Philip Green’ & ‘Dominic Chappell’, ‘News Corporation’, ‘Blockbuster’, ‘PPI misselling’, ‘HBOS’, ‘Lehman Brothers’, ‘Bradford & Bingley Bank’, ‘Northern Rock Bank’, ‘RBS/AMRO’, ‘FW Woolworth UK/Kingfisher’, ‘Enron’ and ‘Robert Maxwell’.
If that is not enough to shut your protagonist up, you could then ask them whether they vote for the Labour Party and why.
I’ve been working all day. Get home switch on the BBC News channel and they show the 2 England goal scored by black players (fair enough as that is the news). Then they go live to somewhere in London with a black presenter who is interviewing 2 other black people asking them about the match.
5 in a row!
Well it will come out sooner or later, a comment on the elephant in the room about someone bound to say black athletes superior to white some one somewhere will attempt to make this point, 1936 LOL and if anyone comments on the racial makeup of Nobel awards, mastermind or any quiz show well…….but we can still lever individuals ino jobs based on their racial background alone and see how their customer skills, racial tolerance, patience and capabilty perform and already sick of stupid Newcastle accent on BBC by that silly woman who cannot pronounce the word “here” has to be hye eeeeyaa” and various other presenters unable to pronounce the letter T but cos they are balck and it is cool well done BBC

I’ve always thought footy was fairly colourless – after the 80s or maybe later when players stopped being slagged off for skin colour .
What I mean was as long as someone wearing the shirt out a shift in and maybe scored no one gave a damn about colour .
I might be sounding a bit liberal and I know certain club supporters have ‘ views’ but in the days when I had a season ticket the only thing that mattered was doing the best and or winning .
Al beeb has to cheapen it by going political or driving their group non think but that will fail
Fedup2
Irrespective of what we choose to watch whether it be footy or soap operas it is not only words but also images which shape our perception of normality.
Fair enough lefty – I’m just reporting what I saw and heard across the seasons doing championship and prem games . Others might have seen different .
It will be interesting to see if , once we are outside the jurisdiction of the ECJ ( if) then the FA will put a requirement on clubs to have British born players unlike some games where the only British person on the pitch is the ref
FFS colourless have you had a diiabetes check…./
Annu
I don’t have diabetes . I say colourless because the days of chucking bananas on the field and making monkey noises are long gone in the Prem and championship. I’ve been to millwall a few times and even there players were given a fair shake irrespective of the reputation the club carries and the way supporters are treated .
One goal was by a hideous white player. By far, most of the England goals so far have been by white players.
Be thankful none of them did the Allah ackibar stunt , arse in the air
I notice that there are no “have your say” opportunities on Al Beeb’s reports about the Brexit Fiasco?
What are they afraid of?
Come on Al Beeb don’t be shy.
My next birthday I shall be 80 years old. I can hardly walk but live in constant pain, which can only be avoided by medication which suppresses my ability to think clearly. The [expletive deleted] BBC tells me that the wrecking of Brexit is a “wonderful victory for right thinking”. How now do I look forward to the future (however short) for myself, my children, my grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren in the Fourth Reich under sharia law? Will someone please explain?
D. R. do not give up hope, there are many taking up the baton as we speak.
We are British and our spirit is indominable. I for one have moved from passive observation to active participation, as have many others the length and breadth of our country. Dare I say, ” we shall fight them on….
David
I’m sorry for your pain and having looked after some one aged over 80 I know the issues
We have to wait for the White Paper but on my read there is little chance that the ReichEU will accept the pick and choose approach unless Merkel has agreed it .
WTO brexit beckons together with Freedom and short term hostility from the ReichEU before it hopefully falls apart
David I hope you can find relief from somewhere, even if the medical establishment is proving not so helpful (from experience there are other routes to try that are focussed on healing rather than simply ‘pain management’). It’s worth exploring (IMO). Some things are bigger even than politics and the nincompoops at the beeb
David R, try to enjoy time with your family and know that everyone on here agrees with you. I was encouraged by a recent conversation with a local man in which he told me that his teenage child and their friends see through all the PC crap they are being taught at school and often do their own studies online eg one of the group teaching himself an Oriental language. There are some bright young people out there seeing through all this nonsense and they must be pretty angry with the two generations or so above them that allowed it all to happen. Let’s not forget all the Eurosceptics in Italy, France, Germany, etc, millions of people like us who loathe the Reich-EU but who never get a mention on the Beeb. But I can understand how hard it is to stay hopeful. There’s a part of me that would emigrate tomorrow if I had no family to consider, and sufficient funds (which I do not!). Take care of yourself.
https://order-order.com/2018/07/07/explosive-brexiteer-legal-advice-demolishes-cabinets-plan/
Martin Howe QC – expert in EU law, Chairman of Lawyers for Britain and contributor to BrexitCentral – has already written a comprehensive Briefing Memo criticising the government plan (based on what we know so far).
According to Guido it is being circulated by ‘Brexiteer MPs’.
The final conclusion is that the proposals “lead directly to a worst-of-all-worlds “Black Hole” Brexit where the UK is stuck permanently as a vassal state in the EU’s legal and regulatory tarpit, still has to obey EU laws and ECJ rulings across vast areas, cannot develop an effective international trade policy or adapt our economy to take advantage of the freedom of Brexit, and has lost its vote and treaty vetos rights as an EU Member State”.
Hopefully we shall hear more about this next week – but possibly not from the BBC.
In other words while we we have technically left we can rejoin in 15 minutes , and be better off, with the punishments removed, no doubt a manifesto pledge at the next general election
Don’t you love the elite?
Most of us posters on this site are aware of the blatant bias promulgated by Al Beeb before and after the referendum. Therefore it must be pretty obvious that our PM and her cronies are also aware?
Why have they not been called to account?
Because they are complicit.
Racist weather? Brexit weather? Guardian running out of reasons to self-loathe? (I blame Trump).
I blame Brexit .
Poke it Guardian. I’m not enjoying the “sunshine” at all. I loathe hot weather and have since I was a child. Sweltering, irritating, uncomfortable, sweaty, overcrowded, heatwave. I can’t wait till it’s finished.
iss cos you get black innit
Iceland have lots of refrigerated displays so I don’t know why they might be complaining.
Does that ‘world’ include Mecca, Tehran, Yemen, Pakistan…
I don’t want diversity in my country, I want homogeneity and cohesion. I don’t want to celebrate perversion and insanity I want it to be at the least ( when it’s harming no one else) ignored.
Donald Trump UK visit to put ‘unquestionable pressure” on police
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44753141
That evil Trump bloke is going to cost us in extra policing due to all his protesters. Of course its not the protesters fault, it’s Trump’s fault.
So BBC, how much did it cost to police the Gay Pride march on Saturday? I guess that is essential policing but a Trump visit is not?
A small trade deal with Trump would far outweigh any cost associated with his UK visit but the BBC only see the negative side all the time.
“Some say” Bojo is not happy with the big Brexit deal . He said it’s like polishing a tur@ .
Anything on Al Beeb ?
Yes.
Is that why Mr Robinson works for the far-left bbc? Is it his life’s ambition to give it a good polishing?
I bet the remainers are gutted by our continuing good fortunes in the World Cup. A surge in English pride and a reminder that we aren’t shit on our own must be sticking in their treacherous craw.
British culture to say fortune…implies luck, they were trashed by our team
He is too white and too male and too heterosexual to have anything he thinks or says represented on the BBC, he should start wearing a hijab get hinself into a wheelchair pushed by a boyfriend and he will have his picture on the front page everyday
It is the only way forward and I urge others to do the same otherwise we are just ranting to no good purpose:
Trump visit putting pressure on police
Complaint description
Pressure on police ? and a gay pride march or anti trump protest requires no police presence ? ?? your anti trump bias shines through everything you report and puts this country to shame
They’ll just say they’re reporting what the Police Federation is saying. Which is true, but masks other matters.
If the BBC were doing it’s job it would ask the Police Federation why it didn’t complain about that for yesterday’s Pride march. Or the Notting Hill Carnival. Or myriad other gatherings that take place each year. Or question whether those stirring up the trouble (yes, you Mr Khan) might take a share of the blame.
It doesn’t do that, of course because it sees its job as opposing Donald Trump at every turn.
As the Beeb-satirising mockumentary W1A returns for a third series, we reveal 12 occasions where the truth was stranger than spoof.1) The house that Beeb built
In the show: All new BBC staff attend a “digital handshake session, run by the technical services choreographer” showing them how to work “the intuitive technology pre-loaded into the building”.
In real-life: On an episode of Top Gear aired in 2014, presenter Jeremy Clarkson told guest Hugh Bonneville, who plays W1A’s head of values Ian Fletcher, that he had not yet done the New Broadcasting House Health & Safety course on “How To Operate The Building”. David Dimbleby, meanwhile, told The Telegraph that his BBC ID card and a 50-year career with the Corporation were not enough to gain him entry to its new headquarters without doing the induction course.
2) Wage war
In the show: Fletcher’s eye-popping pay packet is leaked to the press and he’s criticised for earning twice as much as the Prime Minister. The BBC persuade him to defuse the situation by cutting his own salary.
In real-life: 87 BBC executives are still paid upwards of £150,000, higher than David Cameron’s £142,500 wage, despite director-general Tony Hall’s pledge to curb excessive salaries. The MD of Finance & Operations, Anne Bulford, earns £395,000 – nearly treble Cameron. Hall himself earns £450,000, over three times as much as the PM. Even the “Director of Workplace & Safety” Paul Greeves, out-earns the PM with £151,000.
3) Skirting the issue
In the show: A female Newsnight presenter wears a short skirt and sparks a media storm. She’s accused of wearing clothes that are “inappropriately watchable”, her legs get their own Twitter account and the show is nicknamed “Kneesnight”.
In real-life: BBC Breakfast’s Susanna Reid caused a kerfuffle in 2013 when she accidentally flashed her underwear twice within three months. They were dubbed “Basic Instinct incidents”.
4) Off the rails
In the show: Head of Values Ian Fletcher (Bonneville) recoils with horror when he has to travel to BBC HQ in Salford to appear on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. “Go up where? Manchester?” “Oh, bad luck.”
In real-life: The carriage booked to shoot the scene turned out to be first-class, and the crew were forced to remove all luxury trappings such as curtains, cutlery and plates to make it look like a standard class carriage in order to reassure licence-fee payers. In 2011, however, the BBC justified spending £6,400 per day on luxury travel, partly as a result of the BBC’s £1.5 billion pledge to move half of its programming out of London.
5) Blimey O’Reilly
In the show: In a scandal dubbed “Wingategate”, the BBC gets accused of institutional West Country bias by regional news anchor Sally Wingate, who has failed to land a national gig. As a sop to her, Ian Fletcher suggests getting Sally to present Flog It!, Springwatch or “some kind of Bake-Off”.
In real-life: Irish former Countryfile presenter Miriam O’Reilly won an age discrimination case against the BBC when she was dropped from the rural affairs show when it moved to primetime. Shortly afterwards, she returned to the Corporation as co-host of Crimewatch Roadshow.
6) Picture imperfect
In the show: The “Current Controller of Current Affairs” has to deal with the fallout from a blunder in BBC News 24’s coverage of the Syrian crisis, after a photo of Sting’s wife Trudie Styler is mistakenly used instead of First Lady Asma al-Assad. ”Sting has phoned up Alan Yentob personally and called him an actual prick,” deadpans the voiceover.
In real-life: Cab driver Guy Goma, waiting at Television Centre for a job interview, was hustled into the news studio and introduced as the editor of a technology website, before being asked to give his views on a legal ruling against Apple computers? “Were you surprised at this verdict?” he was grilled. “It’s a big surprise,” he admitted to the oblivious presenter.
7) This is the newzzzzzz
In the show: Jeremy Paxman is accused of nodding off during an interview with Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond but insists he just closed his eyes to concentrate on Salmond’s answers.
In real-life: In 2012, newsreader Simon McCoy was spotted with his head resting on his folded arms, seemingly caught napping at his desk, when BBC Breakfast switched to the rolling news channel. A year later, the same presenter hosted an entire item about “Drunk Tanks” while standing holding a refill pack of A4 instead of his computer tablet. A spokeswoman later said that he had picked up the ream of paper by mistake but had decided to “go with it”.
8) Silly holiday
In the show: The beleaguered Head of Values comes under further fire when the press follow up stories about his salary with claims that he used public money to take Sally Owen (Olivia Colman), his PA at the Olympic Deliverance Commission, on holiday to Italy. They call it a “taxpayer-funded Umbrian love nest”.
In real-life: In 2008, former BBC director-general Mark Thompson claimed £2,237 to fly himself and his family back from Sicily, when he cut short a holiday to deal with the Sachsgate scandal. Four years previously, Thompson chartered a private plane from Maine to Boston at a cost of £1,278, again to interrupt a family holiday and fly back to London to “deal with an urgent staff issue”.
9) Changing rooms
In the show: No-one can find anywhere to sit in a building “aggressively over-designed around the principle of not having a desk”. Meeting rooms are named after famous comedians. Staff are forced to sit on outlandishly tall stools, ball-shaped pouffes or orange see-saws.
In real-life: New Broadcasting House does indeed have an open plan layout and rooms named after comedians – but it doesn’t stop there. Just 18 months after it opened, the BBC redecorated two floors of the £1bn HQ after creatives complained that the 6th and 7th floors were “not inspiring”. Hence thousands spent on “new branding, images and props” including an “Albert Square hot-desking area” and “Queen Vic meeting room”.
10) Do the logo motion
In the show: Blowhard branding guru Siobhan Sharpe (Jessica Hynes) and her team at PR company Perfect Curve are asked to refresh the BBC logo. They decide to “lose the letters” and “make it look like an app”.
In real-life: In 2008, £380,000 was spent on new BBC Three logos – despite the little-watched channel’s shows attracting ratings so low that the logos cost more than £1 per viewer. The channel’s controller at the time, Danny Cohen (now overall Director of BBC Television), admitted that the new logos worked out at nearly £50 per showing.
11) The power of Oneness
In the show: Siobhan Sharpe, witless head of PR company Perfect Curve (and now, in the new series, a partner in Dutch TV company Fun), has come up with some branding horrors in her time – remember Win!bledon and, going further back, the Jubilympics.
In real life: The BBC commissioned Martin Parr to create ideas for a new campaign, which were unveiled at the start of the year. Parr is a justly acclaimed documentary photographer, but the idea to represent “Britain in all its diversity” sounds like it may have come up in a meeting chaired by Sharpe as does the excruciating and probably nonsensical campaign title “Oneness”.
12) 4 what it’s worth
In the show:In the first episode of the new series, the BBC have an inclusivity crisis when it emerges that “openly transvestite” footballer Ryan Chelford (played by Ben Batt) has been turned down as a pundit on Match of the Day. Quick to spot an opportunity, Channel 4 give Chelford his own show in which he talks about his love of cross dressing.
In real life: Channel 4 became a thorn in the Corporation’s side last year when, famously, they bought the rights to Love Productions biggest hit, The Great British Bake Off and, so far, seem to have made the format their own. The BBC, in response, have come up with such dreary fare as The Big family Cooking Showdown. Perhaps, David Wilkes’s Britain’s Best Village doesn’t sound like such a bad idea after all.
When is the protest?
The national Stop Trump protest is due to take place in central London on Friday 13 July.
Demonstrators will assemble outside the BBC building in Portland Place at 2pm.
Where are they assembling again ?..says it all really
And the Tommy Robinson march takes place the following day, Saturday 14th. July. I wonder which one will be the most trouble free.
I wonder which one the far-left bbc will report?
I wish someone would ask the protestors – stop Trump from what? He was democratically elected to lead his country. Are they advocating stopping democracy?
It’s a simple easy question but one that not a single BBC stooge will ask anyone.
Payne by name
“Stop Trump from what ?”
He’s draining the swamp .
Al Beeb and the leftylibtard media is the swamp.
I do hope he drains our swamp.
Yesterday morning the National Association of Virtue Signallers held an emergency meeting to discuss next Friday’s visit of the UK by US President Donald Trump.
“Good morning,” began the chair.
All members immediately raised their hands to object.
“Good morning?” said a young man with a top-knot. “How can you sit there, calling it a ‘good’ morning, when millions of people across this country are suffering at the hands of depression, racism, transphobia, and the ideologically motivated austerity imposed by this Tory Government? This is a sickening example of cis white middle-class privilege.”
The chair was duly ejected and replaced by the young man with a top-knot.
“Thank you,” he said. “As your new chairman, I—”
All members immediately raised their hands to object.
“Chair-man?” said a woman at the back.
The chairman was duly ejected and replaced by the woman at the back.
“Thank you,” she said. “I’d like to propose an idea for a protest. How about we get an enormous balloon in the shape of Donald Trump wearing a nappy, and—”
All members immediately raised their hands to object.
“This is the most appalling display of cultural appropriation,” said a woman at the front. “Unmanned balloon flights were pioneered by the Chinese in the third century AD.”
“Third century AD?” said a man wearing a “This is What a Feminist Looks Like” T-shirt. “I think you’ll find that the Chinese have a traditional calendar of their own, which is entirely unrelated to the supposed birth 2,018 years ago of a Middle Eastern prophet. Stop imposing Judeo-Christian Western norms on other cultures.”
After both women had been duly ejected, the man in the “This is What a Feminist Looks Like” T-shirt put forward his own proposal.
“Instead of a protest,” he said, “how about we raise money for all the minority groups who are living under Trump’s regime?”
All members immediately raised their hands to object.
“Breathtaking discrimination,” said a man with a Nicolas Maduro tote bag. “What about all the minority groups who aren’t living under Trump’s regime?”
A woman behind him raised her hand to object.
“Why are we always raising our hands to object?” she said. “This is blatantly exclusionary of people who have no hands. Or arms. Or mouths.”
After everyone had duly ejected themselves for ableism, the meeting concluded.
Reminder to Al Beeb – “No deal is better than a bad deal”
That is what I am saying to my wife…all her stuff in China is hers property etc and she want half of mine does that remind you of anything, and I have called a lawyer and now she has sudden pain s also have to call NHS direct, maybe they can sort this out also
thats why assertiveness works not appeasment a study of history will inform anyone of that, William the 1st was not particuarly concerned with negotiating, and after he inserted his regime, we had the the “peasants revolt” we call it that still, yet others call similar things the russian revolution, the french revoution but we call it that, interesting, they all had their heads cut off, and that is still going on

Open question > who thinks banging their keyboards and maybe adding to a petition now and again will make any difference to our latest invasion ?
Instead of ranting on here TAKE ACTION our democracy maybe slow and sluggish but it DOES WORK but only if enough of you take action “they ” understand this and use this……look below, not enough decent peope had their say,,,,,
Er ….. Pink News is probably not the first port of call for those on The Politics Forum …. [pauses to make forced deep masculine cough] …… who are probably strictly conventional in their sexual proclivities ….. [please …. no lists of what you do in private!] ….. But in case it dropped off your Pink News radar back in 2016 …. I belatedly, came across this important piece.
It’s relevance today is clear …. in the light of recent and continuing terror attacks in this country ….. and how we move forward as a country under Brexit and who we allow to live here and more importantly, what sort of ‘people’ we allow to become PCC’s.
This article is slow in loading so I have quoted selectively from the article in case people can’t access it for whatever reason.
Apologies to any who object to me quoting them ‘anonymously’ from the ‘Comments’ section ….. and to Pink News for quoting sections of their piece outside their article which is available to view in full in this link:

“ARTICLE”
“A Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner tried to block a sex license for a gay sauna – because it’s too close to a local mosque.
Greenhouse Health Club, which has operated in Luton for nearly two decades, had been seeking a license that would allow it to sell sex toys and show adult films.
However, the owners have now withdrawn the application, after encountering strong resistance from local residents and the newly-elected Police and Crime Commissioner.
Bedfordshire PCC Kathryn Holloway, a former TV presenter who has no first-hand experience of policing, told Luton Today that the license was inappropriate because the venue was too close to a local mosque – a five minute walk away.
She warned that granting the license would cause “widespread offence and very deep concern”, and that if it was granted “a number of potential policing issues may arise” due to a “very significant Luton mosque” based five minutes away.
Ms Holloway warned: “Luton Borough Council is usually particularly aware of matters of cultural sensitivity.
“I trust therefore that you will fully understand that, given the large and devout Muslim population in this area of the borough, there is naturally a high level of religious and cultural opposition to such a business among these residents which needs to be respected, in my view.”
Despite the intervention of the commissioner in her own capacity, a separate submission from the city’s police force had confirmed: “The Police have no concerns relating to the Greenhouse Sex Establishment application.
“We anticipate that they will continue to operate in a professional manner and liaise with the police and other responsible authorities required, as they have in previous years.”
But following the campaign against it – with hundreds of local residents filing coordinated objections to the license – the sauna decided to withdraw the license application.
The owners say they were barraged with homophobic abuse due to the campaign, with some comparing homosexuality to a “brain disease” while others claim it is a “risk to children”.
But Ms Holloway said she was not aware of any homophobic literature surrounding the campaign, telling the newspaper: “I think [the application being withdrawn] is also a win for the wider gay community as this establishment is not representative of them as a whole.”
BBC and their gay promotion has said NOTHING about this
My daughter had CBBC on TV this morning. I normally wouldn’t even notice what programme is currently showing but at 8am the intro to the next programme was some awful black rap like you would expect to hear out of gangsters from Compton, Los Angeles.
The kids programme was called “Strange Hill High” an “animated series set in a inner-city school”. It is animated computer graphics that has a strong pro-black inner city rebellious message throughout it. For example the black character, with a Jamaican accent, stuck his tongue out at a teacher when he arrived late for school. Great example for the BBC to set to young kids today!
Here is an example of it on Youtube. It has the intro rap and also at 2m18 you can see the BBC’s image of a white man – a knuckle dragging man with low IQ.
Tabs that’s fairly alarming. Glad I don’t have small children
Alamring then conplaim
For Sunday morning.
Theresa May, the vicar’s daughter. A Bible reading for you.

your cities burned with fire;
your fields are being stripped by foreigners
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.“
