David Vance published data on Tuesday saying that sky news has lost 37% of its viewers since 2012. This leads to the question of “to whom does Sky think it is broadcasting ?”
Couple this with Lord Hall moaning that the far left BBC doesn’t have enough money should give readers and contributors on this site good heart.

It’s all rather curious to me. But, totally expected. Encroachment upon the principle of Freedom of Speech is now a daily occurrence and our political elite appear happy with this state of affairs. They would wouldn’t they?

This done within influencing Governments. Meanwhile, outside of Government (purportedly) the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube et al. work assiduously toward eliminating Free Speech in response to the NWO’s instructions.

Two separate factions. One islamic the other Western political. Both intertwined and using one another but both heading for different destinations. ‘Strange Bedfellows’ and all that while they leach off one another. Ultimately, the losers will be the NWO/UN/Soros. This despite their apparent power to manipulate events Worldwide and Governments. I find the NWO’s palpable naivety about the separate destinations fascinating. Regrettable I won’t be around long enough to see the NWO et al. totally destroyed by islam who, on the current trajectory, will be the winner. Any bets?

boys name including all the different varieties of how
you spell this name ?
The only clue I will give you, because you wont get one from the BBC is that because so many babies with this name are being

JUST 13 of Bradford’s long term empty homes were brought back into use last year – leaving almost 4,000 remaining empty.
… Sarah Holmes, housing strategy manager said
“…This is a small number, but in terms of relative performance it is quite a good performance” !!!
Properties are classed as “long term empty” if they are vacant for six months or more,
3,931 homes fall into that category.

Having just spent a few weeks (and not for the first time) in Myanmar – I spoke to a lot of people in the provinces next to Rakhine State, the purported ‘adopted’ locale of these people. they were astonished at the apparent complete lack of knowledge of the years-long terrorism suffered by the local Burmese population from terrorist groups sheilded by this Muslim community.
Not for one second do I condone clearly violent action by the military in Rakhine State, however, as usual, the Muslim population in this area has no intention, as far as I am aware, of integrating with the native population, but are demanding that they have a separation of Myanmar to provide them with their own country.
Needless to say, with almost unanimity, the Burmese do not agree.
But hey – the BBC supports virtually every Muslim demand without even thinking that anyone else can disagree – even regarding their own country.

There was a time you relied upon ‘news’ to bring you the facts, as information or education, in a professional, objective and impartial way.
No longer. I first realised the BBC was not doing this on a few areas, like you, I had personal experience of, either through study, work experience or simply living overseas.
It may once have been ineptitude, but now it is clearly driven by agenda. You only have to look at their science output (esp. climate related) or that of the ME desk under Bowen to realise there is nothing worth trusting any more.
Almost everything they produce I view as a starting point to search elsewhere to get to the truth, which is often only at best shades of grey when the BBC charges for full colour but delivers only black or white, and with a very skewed ‘view’ of what falls under each.

They are probably under cover tv licence bods . Avoid meters until they improve and there is only one type.

My understanding is that most energy companies (if not all) are currently installing first generation smart meters. These cannot always be used by other suppliers if, as I do, you change supplier regularly to get the best deal available. (This is very easily achievable, I hasten to add, via switching web-sites/call centres)
In which case – if you allow this, you may be trapped with your current supplier, whose charges may not necessarily be the best for any longer than it takes them to get you onto this meter rather than the normal, older meters, which ARE acceptable to all suppliers. Only the second generation meters will be completely usable by ALL suppliers… so switching need never be a problem. But they are not being anything like universally installed today.
It may be true that the government wants everyone to be on smart meters, but these energy suppliers (for their own reasons – cost, for example ?) are not yet providing universally acceptable meters.
Be assured – the suppliers have no RIGHT whatsoever to just turn up and change your meter without your permission, and a simple ‘No thanks’ is all that should be required – but they are being incentivised to get people to move onto smart meters, and are desperate to get rid of first generation meters, rather than providing meters which all suppliers can use – so, of course, they write some very cleverly worded e-mails and snail-mails to make you think that they can, and/or that the the change is mandated on customers by the government. Neither position is true.
So, although ‘PISS OFF’ may not be polite – do NOT allow yourself to be dragged into a technical or legal discussion – just say ‘No thanks’ to your energy company and demand that they take note of your requirements. In addition, the latest trick is to ask that, if they were to be able to supply ‘next’ generation meter, could they take that as an open request to install another meter later on. My advice would be to say, quite clearly, when, and only when, they have a meter that is genuinely useable by ALL energy suppliers, they should call you once again and request the authority to proceed – and that they should provide documentation to the effect that ALL suppliers in the field would be able to use the meter.
Strangely, my recent discussion with a supplier rep on that basis was followed by an interesting silence, followed by a reluctant – “OK – Thanks” – and then a continuous (i.e. disconnected) tone on my telephone.

I am tempted to get a smart meter, if only on the grounds that it won’t work when I change energy supplier – which will be the day after it’s been installed. As a first generation meter it can’t be used for differential pricing, and as I’ll be officially listed as having a smart meter I’ll be left in peace. The only disadvantage is that I’d have to change energy supplier.
3 likes
I’ve resisted up to now. Having looked for better deals on USwitch, many of the suppliers say the smart meters won’t be smart on their accounts. So there’s no point in the upheaval, I’d say.
I do think it likely that at some point there will be discounts given for having one, much as discounts force most of us on to Direct Debits even if we’d prefer not to.

Possibly switch to one of the newer, smaller providers. I’ve been with bulb for two years but now they’ve raised their prices I’m currently moving to pure planet. And I couldn’t give a damn about their so called green credentials, they’re cheaper than the rest.
But my point is, I think the smaller companies don’t have the money and therefore the incentive to push these smart meters on customers; at least, no one has told me, so far, that I’m getting one or even if I want one. Which I don’t.
4 likes
Can’t see any advantage unless you turn things on for the sake of having them on, and then looking at the meter to find things on you don’t need on. My Mother had a smart meter installed. I live several hundred miles away but sort out the energy on line for her. She hated it told me it was throwing up stupid numbers, however when she gave me the meter readings these tied in exactly with the figures the meter was telling the provider . We have solar panels so have refused to have a meter despite several approaches. Sorry for a non BBc story.

No prizes for guessing who will organise the stopping and whose content will be stopped.

A stern tone, strong words.
And in going further on citizens’ rights too, perhaps Mrs May has sought to take the high ground, in contrast to what some in the UK are seeing as the EU’s poor behaviour yesterday.

No evidence that migration has any effect on crime rates in England and Wales
No evidence that migration has reduced the average level of subjective well-being in the UK
No evidence that people are less satisfied with their neighbourhoods than in the past
No evidence of higher or lower prosperity being associated with a higher or lower population
No evidence that migrants are more likely to be working under a zero hours contract than the UK born, nor is there evidence that they more likely to switch industries between two given quarters
No evidence of migrants having preferential access to social housing”

“The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) today released a report”
Yet another lefty packed Qango whose existence is detrimental to the UK.
From Wikipedia.
“Full Fact applied to the Charity Commission for charitable status when it was being founded in 2009 but this was refused. An appeal was heard by the commission’s tribunal in 2011 but this was rejected on the grounds that the stated objective of “civic engagement” was too political in nature. The wording was changed to “the advancement of public education” and charitable status was then granted in 2014″
“Full Fact has been sponsored to develop automated fact-checking tools by the Omidyar Network and Open Society Foundations.”
“Open Society Foundations (OSF), formerly the Open Society Institute, is an international grant making network founded by business magnate George Soros”
There is a lot more.
No doubt there is even more elsewhere.
Sufficient to classify this nonsense as leftyqangoconspiratorialpropagandasuitableforchildren.
But we knew that already, calling it fullfact is evidence that it will not be complete and not factual.
UKIP must ruthlessly kill all these hotbeds of treason, and introduce legislation to criminalise the receipt of funding from a list foreign nationals deemed antagonistic to the UK.
Soros must be on this list.
