Re The Jo Brand nasty comment, was that ‘Heresy’ (Radio 4) presented by Victoria Coren-Mitchell?
I caught the beginning of that and my first thought was that it was like The News Quiz which I was relieved had ended it’s current run recently. Just another prog where well known lefties including some comedians are given an easy prompt to ‘bash the right’.
Years ago, The News Quiz was more of a genuine quiz programme. Obscure clues were given to items in the news that the panellists would have to be very well read and attentive to have remembered. If one side couldn’t answer it was passed to the other side.
These days it seems to have morphed into a ‘funny’ version of Any Questions (The radio version of Question Time) which it precedes on Fridays and Saturdays. The clues are not in any way difficult, and function only as a lead in to allowing the panellists to do the weary round of Trump bashing or whatever according to what is most likely to raise an anti ‘right’ laugh that week. If the studio laughter is not canned I don’t know where they get the audience, so ready are they to emit belly laughs.
Anyway, thinking that ‘Heresy’ was similar, I turned it off so I didn’t hear Jo Brand’s comment but I’m not surprised that she went too far. When these Z list panellist celebrities are trying to be funny about topical matters they do tend to get carried away. They believe that the ‘right’ are so vile, no right thinking person cares what is thrown at them, either verbally or actually.
(Said Scrobs, clutching painfully at a feeble reply using part of a very funny joke from when the BBC did humour, not hatred. Might have been Frank Muir – now he really was an incredibly funny man)!
In the current climate if Josephine brand said as is reported she might need to buy a bit of personal protection . A silly thing to say because if someone throws a milk shake at her there will e fear that it has strong acid in it.
As an aside – I have used some of the under the counter legal acid to clear my sink .it was so powerful it burnt through the copper outlet pipe . Best avoided.
I was advised to use soda crystals to keep my basin pipes clean. Donât, they dissolve the plastic and the first you know about it is gushing soapy water on the bathroom floor.
Sorry it isnât BBC bias but more useful than anything you may learn on the BBC.
Deborah
Iâd used soda crystals , plungers , special powder , bleach – then it came to âone stopâ – the acid of choice for those wanting to inflict such harm . It burns aluminium and destroys metal pipes .
Fedup,
Are you talking about ‘spirits of salts’? I find it’s the only thing that tackles limescale deposits in the lavatory bowl. Hope I’m not destroying the sewer!
I don’t think it helps the cause of this blog, rightly focusing on bbc bias, to insult people because of their appearance.
Take Sadiq Khan. I don’t like him because he is a left wing islamist sympathiser and a poster boy for islam and is otherwise a useless mayor of London who makes policies without thinking about the consequences on ordinary folks lives. However, he can’t help being short so no one should insult him for that, not even the POTUS. I am vertically challenged myself and often wonder if my life would have been easier had I been 6 inches taller.
Similarly Jo Brand and Diane Abbott. No one can help it if they aren’t attractive, pretty, beautiful, whatever. Diane Abbott was quite pretty when she was younger but time has caught up with her, as it probably has with at least some of us commenting here. It has nothing to do with my shuddering at the thought of her being the Actual Home Secretary.
“However, he canât help being short so no one should insult him for that, not even the POTUS”…….
Quite agree, BUT it works both ways. What right does Sadiq Khan have in giving permission for a balloon to fly over London depicting the POTUS as a baby in a nappy ?? The ultimate in insults I would have thought.
As for not being attractive etc. Self esteem should prompt you to make the best of yourself when in the public eye. Both Brand & Abbott would benefit from losing a few stone each, a decent hairstyle (or wig in Abbot’s case) , and getting a few tips from the resident studio make up artist, would improve the pair of them no end.
Personally I went ‘off’ Brand early in her career, when her humour comprised of licking (fake) vomit from her food stained top.
Agree Brissles. But there’s a lot of appearance-ism in BTL comments generally, especially against women. Theresa May is dismissed as a ‘hag’ etc. Theresa May, again whatever you have against her, is smart, well groomed etc. Apart from being fat, Diane Abbot does make an effort with grooming.
Energy Minister @CSkidmoreUK says achieving a zero net emission target will cost around 1-2% of GDP, adding that there are benefits such as Green jobs and the avoided costs of pollution and climate change.

Incredible. BBC webpage seems to be putting blame of drop in Comic Relief donations on Stacey Dooley, and that man Lammy taking the high ground DESPITE his comments widely recognised as costing them ÂŁ8 million. Mustnât blame the BAMEs when a convenient whitey is around, must we?
I would imagine that white people contribute the bulk of donations to Comic Relief (we are, after all, 85% of the population, whatever DFS might think).
The white majority will no doubt have seen a black politician telling a well-meaning white woman that she is insulting blacks by trying to improve their wretched lives, that she is indeed a “white saviour”.
I assume that a very large number of white people decided they did not want to be accused of being “white saviours” by a racist black politician, and accordingly kept their hands in their pockets.
In the circumstances, I am surprised Comic Relief made as much money as it did. I am sure next year the BAME community will be more than happy to make up any shortfall, starting with Mr David Lammy MP.
“Brexit Party ‘at high risk’ of accepting illegal donations” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48611704
“at high risk”?
More propaganda . Al Beeb are very worried about The Brexit Party possibly because The Brexit Party could dismantle the biased broadcaster ?
t – I await the following headline.
“BBC investigation reveals extensive electoral fraud, benefitting The Labour Party. Labour party leaders knew of the fraud, performed by Muslims, and decided to remain silent.”

I ll look for a list of red tories who joined Corbyn in the lobby for that one . I wonder when the traitor speaker will let them have another vote to get the âright remain vote â next time ….

Comedians cease to be funny when they take themselves seriously; examples would be Jo Brand and Lenny Henry. (Some would argue that they have never been funny.) Theyâre almost always left-wing, championing the rights of the so-called down-trodden and voiceless minorities, whilst living in comparative opulence – often funded by the BBC. Their delusional, political rantings are, usually, much funnier than their jokes.
I realise not BBC but BBC viewers/listeners should also read this so that anyone on here who has or knows someone whose child/adult has Down’s syndrome can be forearmed:
The Jo Brand “joke” has already been mentioned.
I think , pretty much, almost anything is ripe for piss taking, but this? Spraying someone’s face with acid…FFS you’d have to be sick or a psychopath to find this funny in any way at all.
And don’t forget how sensitive Jo was when Carol Thatcher made a “joke” observation about a tennis player, comparing him to a Golly. She was furious!
She made an immediate complaint and Thatcher was never seen on the programme, or indeed the BBC again.
Time for a similar action methinks…
True Vlad.
I think in some ways the relaxed attitude of the BBC and mealy mouthed justification of Jo Brands “joke” signify s that the left (and I include much of the establishment and the BBC for sure in this description) have now crossed the Rubicon, in as far as they have now moved on from just misrepresenting facts and generating fake news and now appear to be developing a loose strategy, where it is now OK to move beyond the censoring or verbally abusing their political opponents. I think a nod and a wink has now been given out that you can now physically attack or intimidate anyone who does not share their world view. And as we saw with the old guy “milkshaked” at that demo or TR – plod now just looks on …………….
Morons like Brand have not been slow to pick up on this and I think we now need to brace ourselves for an increased level off violence, and it is probably only a matter of time before Jo Brands “wish” comes true.
When this happens, we need to remember though that it is not only the fault of the “worlds most trusted broadcaster” it is also Members of Parliament who have either sat on their hands, or actively encouraged (whilst claiming the opposite is true) the demonisation of large percentage of the electorate who only wanted their country back.
This interview polarises what the BBC think is best for us – hence the bias – with what people with access to the internet understand. This was my view until a few months ago when I became increasingly aware of a large section of yoonie educated middle class people who share the BBC views despite contempt for the biased broadcaster. The BBC has support from many who share its values but not the way they are presented by the BBC.
Right at the end, what irritates, in a nutshell: “…the arrogance of the cultural elite”.
At the start, it sounds as if the bbc has good intentions, but are merely “misguided”, rather than malign.
But an institution that thinks it knows best, regardless, is -at best- arrogant.
Mainly one-sided.
Malign.
“An arrogant elite” and “democracy” don’t fit well together in the same picture.
Afloat on an income enforced-with menace- by the threat of prison.
A whiff of fascism there, somewhere..?
Yet they seem to get away with it…
Perhaps I should repeat my prediction. Sajid Javid (peace be upon him) is to be the next Conservative Party Leader and likely the PM after winning the General Election. He will attract the moslem vote as Disraeli attracted working class angels in marble.
GWF, I hope not. Javid is a Thatcherite through and through. He believes fervently in tax cuts for high earners and tax increases for everyone else as well as the now disproven ‘trickle down’ theory.
I sincerely hope for the sake of this nation GWF that, this individual is not voted leader of the Conservative party-he is a full on supporter of the Teachings of Islam whatever else he is, and may come across to some in a differing light, Javid is a Chameleon make no mistake.
Our country as one put it, has lost all sense of belief in itself and, because of this, has lost the will to defend itself, allowing it to be taken over by settlers and their descendants full of a sense of injury and entitlement to power. We are in a serious situation as numbers of Muslims in our land is now doubling each decade. Half of them are under 25. If you think about it for only a few seconds and do a bit of basic arithmetic, this is terrifying. Within ten years Birmingham, Slough, Luton, Blackburn and Bradford will have Muslim majorities observing sharia law. Futhermore our intellectuals, politicians and most journalists do not comprehend that their daily manipulation of language, their routine decoupling of words from reality, their increasing imprecision in the use of words, will end in this catastrophe. With information censored and distorted by government and media alike, the wishes and fears of the indigenous people shamefully disregarded, the role of history, culture and tradition dangerously neglected, a major problem exists for any judgement, any meaningful debate, about the renewed mortal threat posed by a resurgent Islam using wombs as weapons.
Very much agree with your thoughts Tarien. As mentioned before, his brother is now a high ranking officer in the Met Police, the BBC has a Muslim in charge of religious affairs ( Fatima Salarias who is a commissioning editor), new political editor at the BBC, Faisal Islam. As the latest generation gets older and into the job market, the list of Muslims in top jobs and high ranking positions will continue to increase. Its all a numbers game unless something is done.
Despite all the protestations in the world at the time of a suspected conspiracy, a very wealthy Islamic playboy almost became the step father of the heir to the throne.
It’s worse than not minding the encroachment of islam in the land. I get the impression from the BBC (and the media in general) that we are all supposed to be thrilled about it: A muslim mayor of London? what a goal for diversity; a muslim home secretary: ditto hurrah; a muslim wins Bake off: a triumph for the hijabis. Dear Nadiya was then promoted like no cake baker ever before, columns in newspapers, TV shows, Nadiya’s new take on the pork pie, Nadiya’s festive food at Christmas, then the hijrah show that was derailed because they didn’t want to be obliged to do the same for pilgrims of other faiths (meaning they didn’t want to do anything to do with Christianity).
Why must the muslim attribute feature so saliently? Do we know the religion of other politicians, public figures, entertainers and even workmates? I worked with a jewish guy for years before the fact that he was a jew came up in the conversation.
As for Sajid Javid. He’s probably a nice guy and not too bad a politician but I remember him saying in an interview a while ago that Christianity was the only religion practised in their household because his wife is Christian. That was before he chose to use the koran for his swearing in as Home Sec. Then in a more recent interview he said that they did both Eid and Christmas in their house. Can it be that he is trying to be more muslim to attract the muzz vote, and at the same time playing it down so as not to put off non muslims. If he did become PM there would be unparalleled triumphal rejoicing at the beeb.
BBC1 Six O’Clock News – usually avoided like a wanted man evades police checks, but after the parliamentary vote this afternoon I couldn’t help but wonder what the BBC version of reality would be. Utterly unbelievable, was what it was. Not reporting. Not news. Not remotely in touch with what most of the country is really thinking.
First off, no mention of Labour’s defeat on the HoC on ‘No Deal’ Brexit, nor the ten Tory hardcore Remainers who have yet again shown themselves to be anti-Government. Imagine the crowing if Labour’s motion had passed! And this silence after all the build-up they have given to the possibility. Nope, nothing, just glum-faced women in red with a slightly panicked air.
Top story: Boris’s leadership bid. Laura K made her move in the press conference by listing her subjective summary of all his most egregious faults, making this into a lengthy statement before actually asking her question. Boris slapped her down with some panache, calling her dronings a minestrone in which the odd crouton floated.
Kuenssberg then stated that Boris was questioned about his past comments about women in burkas “to some jeers”. She made out that the jeers were for Boris, but it seemed clear to me and husband that the jeers were for the reporter who thought it crucial to dredge that up. Is the BBC political correspondent really unable to tell the difference? Because if she can’t, that raises serious questions about her ability to do the job.
Truly terrible so-called reporting. Opinion masquerading as fact. Bias by omission. Stress on all the BBC trigger words. Skewed interpretation of what we could all hear for ourselves. No wonder more and more people are refusing to pay a licence fee. Then on to Sajid Javid who was damned with faint praise compared to the undermining meted out to Boris, and Zero-Carbon-Climate-Emergency-Crisis virtue signalling that, if implemented, would destroy all industry in the country (BBC thinks this is a good thing, naturally).
Thank you Jane-ite for your summary of tonightâs news. What I had heard earlier, and to be honest I hadnât heard much because the way the BBC reported Labourâs cunning little plan, I had assumed its passing was inevitable. I couldnât face seeing the glee on Laura and whoeverâs faces as they reported a no deal blocked. My first thought was I will see the 10pm news to see their glum looks, because I can still hardly believe what you write. Just ignore what the BBC had been bigging up all day? Thatâs our National Broadcaster for you.
Cheers, Deborah. It will be interesting to see if the Ten O’Clock News team has come to terms with what just happened to the latest BBC-favoured anti-Brexit plan. Perhaps they were still so shaken with disbelief and rage at six that they just couldn’t manage the, er, news management.
I forgot to mention the other classic. The rioting in Hong Kong was mentioned in the headlines. Ironic, given that the BBC can hardly bring itself to mention Gilets Jaunes in France (and sporadically, in Belgium and Holland) so much closer to us. Especially as there are some similar issues with democracy and independence…
On the plus side, the overwhelming obviousness of the bias has a strong whiff of desperation about it!
I love it when I see our state broadcaster with an online article that says âeverything you need to know about……â
No, al beeb itâs everything YOU want us to know about…..
Ffs, we arenât all children ????
It is one thing to be consistently wrong in reporting/analysis, but quite another to set out to try and mess everything up to try and feel better about an ideological faith that is faltering. Yet the MSM manages it, and the BBC is funded by compulsion in doing so.
Another example of Rog’s poor grasp of reality. If the highly unlikely goal were to be achieved….he’ll be out of a job.
Suggestions, please, for what could replace the gifted Mr. Harrabin’s lifestyle choice?
The Beeb are in a state of perpetual orgasm over the Comic Relief âwhite saviourâ brouhaha, whining about âharmful stereotypes.â
Call me a Nazi, but I think the epidemic of black on black violence is somewhat more harmful. Alas there is no article about that on their website. As you lie dying on a cold street you must feel so much better knowing the noble BBC did all it could to protect you from harmful stereotypes.

Carcinogens cause cancer. Who would have believed it.
We need to avoid carcinogens. Here are your Nobel Prizes for Medicine girls.
“new laws and regulations will have to be drawn up quickly”
So we will blame Brexit, because that’s what Remainiacs do.
Whereas the truth is that any issues with producing laws quickly is 100% the responsiblity of those who have promoted Remain, and spent the last three years trying to overturn the referendum result.
Not the BBC but equally patronising.
Why does the narrator on ITV’s Heathrow programme (airing now) feel the need to talk down to us in that stupid way that Mrs Merton speaks? She is talking like the narrator on Gogglebox as if we are all 3 years old or as thick as pig excrement.
Carl Benjamin had an excruciating appearance on the VD programme recently. Apologies if you have already discussed it. VD employed the Newmanian technique of talking over him and ignoring everything he said. It was a finger-wagging lecture on how one must never even joke about certain subjects; heâd made an obvious joke about how he wouldnât even rape Jess Phillips.
So how can Jo Brand joke about political violence? Jo Cox was murdered a few years ago. If you canât joke about rape then you certainly canât joke about extreme violence.
The Police investigated Carl Benjamin. I doubt Brand will suffer a similar fate though her crime is worse. (Benjamin clearly had no actual intention of assaulting Philips whereas we know how violent leftists have been recently.)
It is just like Animal Farm: all animals are equal, but some (pigs/liberal elite) are more equal than others.
Somebody at the bbc is in for it.
Iâve just seen the QT panel for tomorrow and the leavers are in double figures. (Well, in binary they are..10)
Thereâs two of them!
How on Earth has that happened.
People like dominic grieve talk about âhonour â and âbelief â. This is what he said in the debate today
If the only way of stopping that Prime Minister [implementing a no-deal Brexit] would be to bring down that Prime Minister’s government… I will not hesitate to do that… Even if it means my resigning the whip and leaving the Party…”
The BBC loves him – no attack on his loyalty , getting elected on a fraudulent manifesto , conniving with the speaker and just about anyone to frustrate a democratic vote .
He didnât even have the courage to do a âchukkaâ and walk into political extinction .
I have no words to express my disgust & revulsion at this!
This is the moment that Jeremy Corbyn quotes the words of Anne Frank, a victim of antisemitism AND then he goes on to welcome Lisa Forbes the MP embroiled in antisemitism scandal to the House.
Someone in his office must have said – what can we get him to say so that the Jews think he likes them?â A â I know – there was that Ann frank kid who the Germans killed in that war on the TV â – he can do a âour thoughts are with job â on that one .
The BBC does the same as standard practice. It is sympathetic to the victims of the Holocaust. And it thinks that is a camouflage for it’s loathing of Israel.
The BBC would like us to think it has no hostility towards Jews, but only opposes Israeli policy. Many Israelis are not fooled by this.

ITV now the Boston Lincs Police Comedy

The fat white female detective asks who the boyfriend was
Mother ‘Marek, but you never went after him did you
… them Polish lads are at the lager at 9 in the morning’
(Get it Boston ? is a UKIP Brexit area so all the British must be racists)
Fatty must be in libmob cos she answers back sternly “These guys work hard a night so our breakfast is their night time”
Next moment Fatty is speaking perfect Polish ‘We’ve had pickers on our farm since I were a kid’

was her own mother
see StupidWhiteBrit is the bad one
The media are obsessed about diversity
but they didn’t even think about having a character speak in a local accent.
Isn’t that like filming in black parts of London and everyone having a white accent ?
The plot and tropes were all very contrived
You can certainly tell it’s TVland people and not local people.
Was that seriously meant to be comedy? Really?
I thought it was meant to be serious and found it rather cheesy with poor special effects. The filming âon top of the wind turbineâ was like something out of the old âland that time forgotâ movies. But then it was Lincolnshire so rather apt.

should start a new website called not the biased BBC as this seems to attract more posts. In similar vein – revisit to peterborough by-election and in particular the briefing note, which still carries the rank stench of dishonesty and diversion. Last comment, honest.
Briefing note compared postal votes from 2017 GE @ 11,930 (returned) to 2019 by-election where 9,898 (returned). similar figures and similar valid return rates, moving on swiftly.
In fact turnout in 2017 was 47,884 (66%) which means postal votes contributed 24%.
In 2019, turnout was much lower at 33,998 (48%) with postal votes now amounting to 29.1%, nearly a third of votes cast. A significant increase on a method of voting known to be open to manipulation by certain groups within the electorate, some who have form, and we cannot lawfully be told who most benefited from this particular vote method. how convenient. Stinks!
âshould start a new website called not the biased BBC as this seems to attract more postsâ
Thatâs because the disease of political bias is now rife throughout the whole of the MSM and not just the bbc.
I still find other (non BBC) posts relevant because it demonstrates how the masses are being brainwashed by the âBBC effectâ.
BBC1 News at Ten talking about the UKs zero net carbon by 2050. A presenter was showing a newly built efficient house, “this house has no central heating”, and then immediately shows us the (air source heat pump) heating system.

Non crime hate incident. What is that I wonder? The police are walking a dangerous line here. Sadly the intellectual capacity of the modern police force leaves much to be desired.
Now is that insulting or offensive or what?
Solzhenitsen says somewhere that the USSR worked on the basis that the dawn door kick in kept all dissidents in line . Few around to see it and fewer around who would say anything.
Nothing about Brandâs comments in their websites. They managed several days of coverage when Boris Johnson made âoffensiveâ comments about burqas. Anyone might think they are biased?
Disappointing to hear JHB on Talk Radio defending Jo Brandâs ârightâ to make âjokesâ. Apparently she is a âcomedianâ thatâs what she does. The whole point of the show apparently, is to say things that will shock. Well thatâs okay then. Can we now claim back the ârightâ to joke about anything? The ârightâ that has been taken away from us by the vicious left? How about a rerun of Freddie Starr sketches. Maybe a bit of proper comedy from the golden oldies who did actual funny jokes. Letâs have Jim Davidson back on tv with some âChalkyâ sketches. After all we have the ârightâ to make jokes even if others donât find them funny, right?

âFor the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.â
When this happens we can see who the powerful are. Jo the acid joker even popped up on BBC4 the other night. Yet because of the woman’s target the Brand is not tarnished.
There was I thinking I lived in a country where justice was applied without fear nor favour.
âThe BBC said Brands comments were not intended to be taken seriously â.
Iâm sure the Charlie Ebdo cartoons were not intended to be taken seriously either, BBC.
Should someone now go and shoot Jo Brand eh BBC? (JOKE!)
D,
Brand has appeared on behalf of the Labour Party defending its record and decrying the hated tories. This makes her a practising activist. Similar to many left wing activists, reverting to ‘comedian’ only when foot meets mouth.
No Deal Brexit. Back in March the UK was prepared, more or less, to leave the EU on 29 March without a deal. In April, same thing for the 12th of the month.
Suddenly, in mid-June, we have claims that “EEEeeeek! We are not READY for a No Deal Brexit. HeeeEEELPPP! We need six to eight months to arrange supplies of food and pharmaceuticals and stuff.”
Have we really consumed six to eight months-worth of those supplies since 12 April? Really? Now that is not what BBC’s Business News said earlier this week and last week.
Funny that.
Anti-Brexit and Anti-No Deal Brexit propaganda on the BBC? What propaganda?
If we are not ready, whose fault it that? The decision to leave was taken three years ago. The people who have spent that time trying to reverse the decision are to blame.
They have been happy to wreck our economy in order to prevent our independence . Treason anyone ?
Someone should be brought to account .
Time for The Brexit Party to show its teeth .
Toady, Thursday morning. It is only 7.10 and I have heard about the dinosaurs who appears is going to be sold iand we were told his expected price in Euros with no explanation of who is selling him or why the price is in Euros.
I have heard there is a report saying how hopeless Baroness Scotland is at the Commonwealth Office. To be fair they did say she was Labour but no mention of her extravagances including a portrait and if memory serves me right vast amounts spent on her private quarters. But we were told several times it was a leaked report.
But then after the 7am news we were told that the Cabinet were informed it would take x months to do this before Brexit and y to do the other. Each was months not years, my thought was that the better get on with them
But the 7.10 am interview is with Oliver Letwin. I switched off before he ever came on.
Debbie, it was worth a listen. Sir Oliver Wetwipe was a little gloomy. Think he realises that Brexit is getting nearer and the anti-Brexit Mob in Parliament lost a big, important battle yesterday.
The Beeboids are twin-teaming on Bashing No-Deal Brexit today. Mishal is now having a go at Michael somebody, sorry, too much rattling from the keyboard to catch the surname when mumbled by Mishal at interview end. He is a businessman who has given money – shock, horror! – to the Conservative Party and Conservative MPs for their election campaigns. That sort of thing? Mishal does so not approve, phew, no!
Mishal really doesn’t like that. It shows, Mishal, you know. You are so obvious.
A typical anti British article… The UK is one of the worst places in Europe for paid parental leave and affordable quality childcare, the UN’s children’s charity has said.
The BBC have used 2 photos to illustrate UK families.
1. A Chinese girl with parents blurred in the background
and
2. an Indian father with a black daughter.
its not like any of the staff have any formal qualifications, they will happily “train” on the job anyone can start (on minimum wage) and if (when) you get the certificates you will then be on minimum wage, and if your the senior experienced carer , you will get an uplift to minimum wage.
If your working in a care home for dubious dangerous possibly violent older men, you get the bonus of minimum wage, or you could shift to nights you get the added extra of minimum wage
want to complain , no problem , f-off, plenty more eastern europeans who would love the job as it entitles them to housing benefits and working tax credits
The bill to the council for each semi-secure care place ??
4K per week supposedly for 1 to 1 care but in reality nearer 1 to 4
its a racket , the taxpayer pays , british workers lucky to get a job, eastern europeans doing lots of it, subsidised by the tax payer some more

Re The Jo Brand nasty comment, was that ‘Heresy’ (Radio 4) presented by Victoria Coren-Mitchell?
I caught the beginning of that and my first thought was that it was like The News Quiz which I was relieved had ended it’s current run recently. Just another prog where well known lefties including some comedians are given an easy prompt to ‘bash the right’.
Years ago, The News Quiz was more of a genuine quiz programme. Obscure clues were given to items in the news that the panellists would have to be very well read and attentive to have remembered. If one side couldn’t answer it was passed to the other side.
These days it seems to have morphed into a ‘funny’ version of Any Questions (The radio version of Question Time) which it precedes on Fridays and Saturdays. The clues are not in any way difficult, and function only as a lead in to allowing the panellists to do the weary round of Trump bashing or whatever according to what is most likely to raise an anti ‘right’ laugh that week. If the studio laughter is not canned I don’t know where they get the audience, so ready are they to emit belly laughs.
Anyway, thinking that ‘Heresy’ was similar, I turned it off so I didn’t hear Jo Brand’s comment but I’m not surprised that she went too far. When these Z list panellist celebrities are trying to be funny about topical matters they do tend to get carried away. They believe that the ‘right’ are so vile, no right thinking person cares what is thrown at them, either verbally or actually.

I don’t think it helps the cause of this blog, rightly focusing on bbc bias, to insult people because of their appearance.
Take Sadiq Khan. I don’t like him because he is a left wing islamist sympathiser and a poster boy for islam and is otherwise a useless mayor of London who makes policies without thinking about the consequences on ordinary folks lives. However, he can’t help being short so no one should insult him for that, not even the POTUS. I am vertically challenged myself and often wonder if my life would have been easier had I been 6 inches taller.
Similarly Jo Brand and Diane Abbott. No one can help it if they aren’t attractive, pretty, beautiful, whatever. Diane Abbott was quite pretty when she was younger but time has caught up with her, as it probably has with at least some of us commenting here. It has nothing to do with my shuddering at the thought of her being the Actual Home Secretary.

Quite agree, BUT it works both ways. What right does Sadiq Khan have in giving permission for a balloon to fly over London depicting the POTUS as a baby in a nappy ?? The ultimate in insults I would have thought.
As for not being attractive etc. Self esteem should prompt you to make the best of yourself when in the public eye. Both Brand & Abbott would benefit from losing a few stone each, a decent hairstyle (or wig in Abbot’s case) , and getting a few tips from the resident studio make up artist, would improve the pair of them no end.
Personally I went ‘off’ Brand early in her career, when her humour comprised of licking (fake) vomit from her food stained top.

I would imagine that white people contribute the bulk of donations to Comic Relief (we are, after all, 85% of the population, whatever DFS might think).
The white majority will no doubt have seen a black politician telling a well-meaning white woman that she is insulting blacks by trying to improve their wretched lives, that she is indeed a “white saviour”.
I assume that a very large number of white people decided they did not want to be accused of being “white saviours” by a racist black politician, and accordingly kept their hands in their pockets.
In the circumstances, I am surprised Comic Relief made as much money as it did. I am sure next year the BAME community will be more than happy to make up any shortfall, starting with Mr David Lammy MP.

True Vlad.
I think in some ways the relaxed attitude of the BBC and mealy mouthed justification of Jo Brands “joke” signify s that the left (and I include much of the establishment and the BBC for sure in this description) have now crossed the Rubicon, in as far as they have now moved on from just misrepresenting facts and generating fake news and now appear to be developing a loose strategy, where it is now OK to move beyond the censoring or verbally abusing their political opponents. I think a nod and a wink has now been given out that you can now physically attack or intimidate anyone who does not share their world view. And as we saw with the old guy “milkshaked” at that demo or TR – plod now just looks on …………….
Morons like Brand have not been slow to pick up on this and I think we now need to brace ourselves for an increased level off violence, and it is probably only a matter of time before Jo Brands “wish” comes true.
When this happens, we need to remember though that it is not only the fault of the “worlds most trusted broadcaster” it is also Members of Parliament who have either sat on their hands, or actively encouraged (whilst claiming the opposite is true) the demonisation of large percentage of the electorate who only wanted their country back.

This interview polarises what the BBC think is best for us – hence the bias – with what people with access to the internet understand. This was my view until a few months ago when I became increasingly aware of a large section of yoonie educated middle class people who share the BBC views despite contempt for the biased broadcaster. The BBC has support from many who share its values but not the way they are presented by the BBC.

Our country as one put it, has lost all sense of belief in itself and, because of this, has lost the will to defend itself, allowing it to be taken over by settlers and their descendants full of a sense of injury and entitlement to power. We are in a serious situation as numbers of Muslims in our land is now doubling each decade. Half of them are under 25. If you think about it for only a few seconds and do a bit of basic arithmetic, this is terrifying. Within ten years Birmingham, Slough, Luton, Blackburn and Bradford will have Muslim majorities observing sharia law. Futhermore our intellectuals, politicians and most journalists do not comprehend that their daily manipulation of language, their routine decoupling of words from reality, their increasing imprecision in the use of words, will end in this catastrophe. With information censored and distorted by government and media alike, the wishes and fears of the indigenous people shamefully disregarded, the role of history, culture and tradition dangerously neglected, a major problem exists for any judgement, any meaningful debate, about the renewed mortal threat posed by a resurgent Islam using wombs as weapons.

It’s worse than not minding the encroachment of islam in the land. I get the impression from the BBC (and the media in general) that we are all supposed to be thrilled about it: A muslim mayor of London? what a goal for diversity; a muslim home secretary: ditto hurrah; a muslim wins Bake off: a triumph for the hijabis. Dear Nadiya was then promoted like no cake baker ever before, columns in newspapers, TV shows, Nadiya’s new take on the pork pie, Nadiya’s festive food at Christmas, then the hijrah show that was derailed because they didn’t want to be obliged to do the same for pilgrims of other faiths (meaning they didn’t want to do anything to do with Christianity).
Why must the muslim attribute feature so saliently? Do we know the religion of other politicians, public figures, entertainers and even workmates? I worked with a jewish guy for years before the fact that he was a jew came up in the conversation.
As for Sajid Javid. He’s probably a nice guy and not too bad a politician but I remember him saying in an interview a while ago that Christianity was the only religion practised in their household because his wife is Christian. That was before he chose to use the koran for his swearing in as Home Sec. Then in a more recent interview he said that they did both Eid and Christmas in their house. Can it be that he is trying to be more muslim to attract the muzz vote, and at the same time playing it down so as not to put off non muslims. If he did become PM there would be unparalleled triumphal rejoicing at the beeb.

BBC1 Six O’Clock News – usually avoided like a wanted man evades police checks, but after the parliamentary vote this afternoon I couldn’t help but wonder what the BBC version of reality would be. Utterly unbelievable, was what it was. Not reporting. Not news. Not remotely in touch with what most of the country is really thinking.
First off, no mention of Labour’s defeat on the HoC on ‘No Deal’ Brexit, nor the ten Tory hardcore Remainers who have yet again shown themselves to be anti-Government. Imagine the crowing if Labour’s motion had passed! And this silence after all the build-up they have given to the possibility. Nope, nothing, just glum-faced women in red with a slightly panicked air.
Top story: Boris’s leadership bid. Laura K made her move in the press conference by listing her subjective summary of all his most egregious faults, making this into a lengthy statement before actually asking her question. Boris slapped her down with some panache, calling her dronings a minestrone in which the odd crouton floated.
Kuenssberg then stated that Boris was questioned about his past comments about women in burkas “to some jeers”. She made out that the jeers were for Boris, but it seemed clear to me and husband that the jeers were for the reporter who thought it crucial to dredge that up. Is the BBC political correspondent really unable to tell the difference? Because if she can’t, that raises serious questions about her ability to do the job.
Truly terrible so-called reporting. Opinion masquerading as fact. Bias by omission. Stress on all the BBC trigger words. Skewed interpretation of what we could all hear for ourselves. No wonder more and more people are refusing to pay a licence fee. Then on to Sajid Javid who was damned with faint praise compared to the undermining meted out to Boris, and Zero-Carbon-Climate-Emergency-Crisis virtue signalling that, if implemented, would destroy all industry in the country (BBC thinks this is a good thing, naturally).
Couldn’t stomach any more. Off.

Cheers, Deborah. It will be interesting to see if the Ten O’Clock News team has come to terms with what just happened to the latest BBC-favoured anti-Brexit plan. Perhaps they were still so shaken with disbelief and rage at six that they just couldn’t manage the, er, news management.
I forgot to mention the other classic. The rioting in Hong Kong was mentioned in the headlines. Ironic, given that the BBC can hardly bring itself to mention Gilets Jaunes in France (and sporadically, in Belgium and Holland) so much closer to us. Especially as there are some similar issues with democracy and independence…
On the plus side, the overwhelming obviousness of the bias has a strong whiff of desperation about it!

RE: Jo Brand.
Carl Benjamin had an excruciating appearance on the VD programme recently. Apologies if you have already discussed it. VD employed the Newmanian technique of talking over him and ignoring everything he said. It was a finger-wagging lecture on how one must never even joke about certain subjects; heâd made an obvious joke about how he wouldnât even rape Jess Phillips.
So how can Jo Brand joke about political violence? Jo Cox was murdered a few years ago. If you canât joke about rape then you certainly canât joke about extreme violence.
The Police investigated Carl Benjamin. I doubt Brand will suffer a similar fate though her crime is worse. (Benjamin clearly had no actual intention of assaulting Philips whereas we know how violent leftists have been recently.)

If the only way of stopping that Prime Minister [implementing a no-deal Brexit] would be to bring down that Prime Minister’s government… I will not hesitate to do that… Even if it means my resigning the whip and leaving the Party…”
The BBC loves him – no attack on his loyalty , getting elected on a fraudulent manifesto , conniving with the speaker and just about anyone to frustrate a democratic vote .
He didnât even have the courage to do a âchukkaâ and walk into political extinction .

Someone in his office must have said – what can we get him to say so that the Jews think he likes them?â A â I know – there was that Ann frank kid who the Germans killed in that war on the TV â – he can do a âour thoughts are with job â on that one .

Kaiser,
The BBC does the same as standard practice. It is sympathetic to the victims of the Holocaust. And it thinks that is a camouflage for it’s loathing of Israel.
The BBC would like us to think it has no hostility towards Jews, but only opposes Israeli policy. Many Israelis are not fooled by this.

ITV now the Boston Lincs Police Comedy
.. The Boston white mother has just discovered that when her daughter disappeared 10 years ago her head was cut off ( comedy ?)
The fat white female detective asks who the boyfriend was
Mother ‘Marek, but you never went after him did you
… them Polish lads are at the lager at 9 in the morning’
(Get it Boston ? is a UKIP Brexit area so all the British must be racists)
Fatty must be in libmob cos she answers back sternly “These guys work hard a night so our breakfast is their night time”
Next moment Fatty is speaking perfect Polish ‘We’ve had pickers on our farm since I were a kid’
Now at the charity dinner a heavy accented businessman has just made a huge donation to the local hospice.

The media are obsessed about diversity
but they didn’t even think about having a character speak in a local accent.
Isn’t that like filming in black parts of London and everyone having a white accent ?
The plot and tropes were all very contrived
You can certainly tell it’s TVland people and not local people.

Was that seriously meant to be comedy? Really?
I thought it was meant to be serious and found it rather cheesy with poor special effects. The filming âon top of the wind turbineâ was like something out of the old âland that time forgotâ movies. But then it was Lincolnshire so rather apt.

should start a new website called not the biased BBC as this seems to attract more posts. In similar vein – revisit to peterborough by-election and in particular the briefing note, which still carries the rank stench of dishonesty and diversion. Last comment, honest.
Briefing note compared postal votes from 2017 GE @ 11,930 (returned) to 2019 by-election where 9,898 (returned). similar figures and similar valid return rates, moving on swiftly.
In fact turnout in 2017 was 47,884 (66%) which means postal votes contributed 24%.
In 2019, turnout was much lower at 33,998 (48%) with postal votes now amounting to 29.1%, nearly a third of votes cast. A significant increase on a method of voting known to be open to manipulation by certain groups within the electorate, some who have form, and we cannot lawfully be told who most benefited from this particular vote method. how convenient. Stinks!

Thatâs because the disease of political bias is now rife throughout the whole of the MSM and not just the bbc.
I still find other (non BBC) posts relevant because it demonstrates how the masses are being brainwashed by the âBBC effectâ.

The new one is concerned about my well-being.

“To protect younger customers, we’ve restricted access to adult content on mobile devices.
It’s easy to remove the content control bar, you’ll just need a credit card to verify your age.

Non crime hate incident. What is that I wonder? The police are walking a dangerous line here. Sadly the intellectual capacity of the modern police force leaves much to be desired.
Now is that insulting or offensive or what?

Disappointing to hear JHB on Talk Radio defending Jo Brandâs ârightâ to make âjokesâ. Apparently she is a âcomedianâ thatâs what she does. The whole point of the show apparently, is to say things that will shock. Well thatâs okay then. Can we now claim back the ârightâ to joke about anything? The ârightâ that has been taken away from us by the vicious left? How about a rerun of Freddie Starr sketches. Maybe a bit of proper comedy from the golden oldies who did actual funny jokes. Letâs have Jim Davidson back on tv with some âChalkyâ sketches. After all we have the ârightâ to make jokes even if others donât find them funny, right?

No Deal Brexit. Back in March the UK was prepared, more or less, to leave the EU on 29 March without a deal. In April, same thing for the 12th of the month.
Suddenly, in mid-June, we have claims that “EEEeeeek! We are not READY for a No Deal Brexit. HeeeEEELPPP! We need six to eight months to arrange supplies of food and pharmaceuticals and stuff.”
Have we really consumed six to eight months-worth of those supplies since 12 April? Really? Now that is not what BBC’s Business News said earlier this week and last week.
Funny that.
Anti-Brexit and Anti-No Deal Brexit propaganda on the BBC? What propaganda?

If we are not ready, whose fault it that? The decision to leave was taken three years ago. The people who have spent that time trying to reverse the decision are to blame.

Toady, Thursday morning. It is only 7.10 and I have heard about the dinosaurs who appears is going to be sold iand we were told his expected price in Euros with no explanation of who is selling him or why the price is in Euros.
I have heard there is a report saying how hopeless Baroness Scotland is at the Commonwealth Office. To be fair they did say she was Labour but no mention of her extravagances including a portrait and if memory serves me right vast amounts spent on her private quarters. But we were told several times it was a leaked report.
But then after the 7am news we were told that the Cabinet were informed it would take x months to do this before Brexit and y to do the other. Each was months not years, my thought was that the better get on with them
But the 7.10 am interview is with Oliver Letwin. I switched off before he ever came on.

Debbie, it was worth a listen. Sir Oliver Wetwipe was a little gloomy. Think he realises that Brexit is getting nearer and the anti-Brexit Mob in Parliament lost a big, important battle yesterday.
The Beeboids are twin-teaming on Bashing No-Deal Brexit today. Mishal is now having a go at Michael somebody, sorry, too much rattling from the keyboard to catch the surname when mumbled by Mishal at interview end. He is a businessman who has given money – shock, horror! – to the Conservative Party and Conservative MPs for their election campaigns. That sort of thing? Mishal does so not approve, phew, no!
Mishal really doesn’t like that. It shows, Mishal, you know. You are so obvious.

It’s amazing how no-one in the media has asked Corbyn what he meant by his threat “Wait until September and the smile will be wiped off your face!”

The UK is one of the worst places in Europe for paid parental leave and affordable quality childcare, the UN’s children’s charity has said.
The BBC have used 2 photos to illustrate UK families.

and
2. an Indian father with a black daughter.

Care providers
its not like any of the staff have any formal qualifications, they will happily “train” on the job anyone can start (on minimum wage) and if (when) you get the certificates you will then be on minimum wage, and if your the senior experienced carer , you will get an uplift to minimum wage.
If your working in a care home for dubious dangerous possibly violent older men, you get the bonus of minimum wage, or you could shift to nights you get the added extra of minimum wage
want to complain , no problem , f-off, plenty more eastern europeans who would love the job as it entitles them to housing benefits and working tax credits
The bill to the council for each semi-secure care place ??
4K per week supposedly for 1 to 1 care but in reality nearer 1 to 4
its a racket , the taxpayer pays , british workers lucky to get a job, eastern europeans doing lots of it, subsidised by the tax payer some more

Ebola. Dame Sally Davies would be proud of the BBC toadies. They, I think, are helping to spread misinformation about the disease with help from WHO. Apparently it is all down to people playing with bats. Going into caves and climbing trees to kiss bats. The WHO spokesman isn’t refering to the Cricket World Cup, either.
Come on, WHO. Name the real problem. Chimpanzees. Monkeys. Bush meat! Bush meat smuggling. Corruption. Hunger. More corruption. People trafficking and smuggling.
