The Far Left Failing Biased BBC keeps on giving doesn’t it ? It doesn’t even pretend to be neutral any more . There is just one ‘approved ‘ story ;facts which don’t fit the narrative are minimised or ignored . And people are forced to pay for it .
And if you think the MPs see it as biased – think again – the link below is to the debate on the useless petition about BBC bias

As an alternative to MSM, filmmaker Ami Horowitz shows what quality of investigative journalism could be done on (presumably) a low budget. (His video on the migrant caravan from Mexico is also worth watching)
Years ago I had a debate on a BBC blog with a lefty junior lecturer, British I think, who was brimming with enthusiasm at the prospect of going off to a distant land to indoctr… er, sorry, teach young university students.
He was bitter towards the US, claiming that the US happily invaded Iraq but would never invade Sudan because there was no oil.
My mildly sarcastic reply that Sudan was in fact swimming in oil and that he should perhaps choose a different line of work caused him great offence. He probably complained bitterly to the BBC, as a moderator deleted my comment.
What was the eager young lecturer’s chosen field?
History.
I despair, I really do.

TWatO Watch #1 Continuing ‘Project Fear’
The TOADY Prog will be proud of TWatO’s efforts. Phil Hammond is claiming that our National Debt will be badly affected leaving the EU without a deal or even with a Bojo or Hunt deal that amends the May WA.
Unfortunately, the numbers do not point favourably at the legitimacy of this claim. Before we joined the EU (then called the EEC) in 1972 – 31 December at midnight – our National Debt stood at under £2 billion approximately.* At the time of the EU Referendum it was approximately £1750 billion.
How good has EU (EEC/EC) membership been for the UK and its National Debt? Form your own opinion from the numbers over the time of our membership.
* have been a bit imprecise deliberately as it is not easy, even in the age of G**gle to quickly find these numbers. I wonder why?
It’s funny how they throw hands up in horror at No Deal Brexit, but smile benignly at what Extinction Rebellion and the Government’s C02 reduction pledge would do to the economy.
I remember the oil tanker drivers strike when the supermarket shelves emptied and everything was in danger of grinding to a total halt within days. I got my hiking boots out for the four mile walk to work.
When there is a power cut, even a planned one, we have to go out and take refuge in shops, pubs etc because during a power cut you can’t even open the fridge door.
Why would we CRASH OUT of the fossil-fuel economy that benefits the rest of the world so much ?

I heard a little bit of some remain Soros mouthpiece pleasuring himself over the guess figures of the office of budget irresponsibility .
Do you notice that there is no review of previous forecasts of doom different devalued organisations put up in Project Fear .
An objective broadcaster might look at them all and say – ‘which ones were right ?”
As you write at the end of your comments
‘I wonder why ‘.
Al beeb really is flogging a dead horse and fit an organisation which claims to see life as more than money – it only looks at the financial – trade – issues of getting out of the ReichEU .
Other minor notions like self governance , independence , independent taxation Border controls , excluding those we don’t want , national identity- don’t feature in the BBCs hateful multinational global dream .
TWatO Watch #2 BBC Forgetting to use a Favourite Weapon
Discussion on proposals to limit young drivers to driving in daylight hours. The BBC’s (and the Left’s) favourite weapon – the NHS and its doctors and nurses – was left unused in its protective case alongside the Studio microphones.
I wonder why?
It is also not easy to find stats (surprising in the computer age) on how many UK Provisional Driving Licences are issued in the UK every year. You would think that such information would be important to the DfTransport in planning road space, DfEnvironment in planning policy for housing, DfWork & Pensions in employment strategy and the Home Office in ‘planning’ ahem! immigration.
In one quarter of 2014, 230,000 provisional Licences were issued. In eighteen months to date, test passes totalled approximately 762,000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49026171

Lord Hall of Birkenhead has indicated that it would be possible for the BBC to be a subscription only service but it would be fundamentally different to its present form because it would have to give its subscribers what they wanted. Honestly that is what he said. I think that further comment is superfluous.
But Double – Double – I love ‘homes under the hammer ‘ ‘spiders in the attic ‘ that one where the do an auction thing ( if not the same ) and other avarice programmes … and I never miss that one or two show ….
Sky is subscription – but apart from the Sport – is there anything worth paying for -now that ‘thrones ‘ has gone ?
I once requested thar sky news loses £600 million a year – I don’t know the source and would like confirmation .
It’s a shame the BBC went down the propaganda bias route – it could have been a contender .
DT, I hate to rain on the parade but….
“The compulsory licence fee system is guaranteed until 2027”
“I would argue that’s the wrong model for supporting the BBC.”
I didn’t say that Lord Birk was in favour of subscription, we all know that the BBC will fight tooth and nail to avoid being put into a commercial environment. But for the idiot to say that a subscription model would force the BBC to give the customers what they want, tells you that they certainly don’t think it necessary to do that under the current funding system. Perhaps the noble Lord is so contemptuous of the viewer or listener that he simply thinks their wishes ought to continue to have no bearing on the BBC output.
I see that our non-Democratic mother of all Parliaments have today voted against Proroguing Parliament.
Hunt ‘forgot’ to vote. Did all his team have the day off?
Meanwhile, the BBC has raised a crack team to target the non-paying over 75’s.
I dread to think how many poor old folk will be conned into buying a licence they don’t need, or worse, being tricked by those unscrupulous b’stards, into signing one of those confession forms that they fill in afterwards. It’s a disgrace. The BBC ought to be ashamed.
It’s great isn’t it . There will be a list of over 75s which will be easier than people like me to be targeted – so the stazi will have easy wins and threaten prosecution for elderly people who are more likely to be upset by the trip to the Mag Court than the likes of me –
Shameful – and I haven’t done the old 5 richest country in the world crap … we’ll im not .
Dyst & Fed, not quite what that’s got to do with the success of another anti-Brexit measure but I agree that the old, and perhaps not entirely with it, will be persecuted and persuaded to pay up. Not sure the Beeb will be keen to prosecute any, though. That could result in some very unfavourable media headlines with regular reminders every time the BBC pay and gender details come out.
Up2snuff,
“not quite what that’s got to do with the success of another anti-Brexit measure”
It was a direct reply to Dover Sentry’s comment above:
“Meanwhile, the BBC has raised a crack team to target the non-paying over 75’s”
With all this copy and pasting I am beginning to feel like Maxincony!
Dyst, am sorry to have driven you to maxinconyism.
But think of all those poor Asian millionaires who might be forced to pay a licence fee for the first time!
I expect there will be some special concession made for them.
England is undemocratic? I thought the voice of England was the voice of the people, around here!
Hint: What John Bright said in 1865 was “England is the mother of parliaments”. He was arguing for more people having the vote as parliament was undemocratic.
Don’t think so, WildWoman. England had driven its democracy around its shires in circles and then exported it via the Empire. While there were ‘clan’ conferences in Ireland & Scotland going back as far, if not further, I don’t think that even in a wild 😉 moment they could be compared to what had evolved around the Monarch in Westminster.
I never thought this would happen. I pretty much agree with something that Matthew Parris has said about President Trump’s comment:
“I don’t like his attacks but I think they will strike a chord among millions who should not be called racists. It’s just futile to suppose that arrivals from another country, and their children, immediately and automatically assume an identity as citizens that is indistinguishable from that of the population already there. They have all the same rights but will be seen, for a generation or two, as neither better nor worse but different.”
“Ordinary” people have known this for years of course.
I don’t expect to see him on the BBC any time soon.
Why must everything be seen by BBC droids through the prism of race or gender?
And the first dog.
The USA did reach the Moon though, which was the object, wasn’t it?

The first rabbit to go into space was called Marfusha (Martha) and went into orbit with a Samoyed dog named Otvazhnaya. They went into orbit from Russia on July 2, 1959. aboard an R2-A rocket. All animals were recovered successfully. .
The Sunday Programme, of all things, last weekend did an item on space and had to bring the ‘wimmin’ element into it.
Truly pathetic bit of virtue signalling and being ‘right on’ with the message.
I’ve never seen a black man speaking Russian. Just saying.
People in Cuba had to learn Russian during the Soviet era, so there might be a few around who can speak it.
For once I find myself in agreement with the BBC.
I don’t think there are nearly enough ROPers sent into space.
Let’s send more!

Adam Rutherford has spent first third of the prog gushing about Turin getting position on the £50 note
\\ Adam Rutherford asks Chief Cashier at the Bank of England, Sarah Johns how and why he was selected and he asks Sue Black, Professor of Computer Science and Technology Evangelist at Durham University, who campaigned to save Bletchley Park, what this accolade means //
Two womens guests, of course.
If Turing was straight we’d never have heard of him.
Maybe. Maybe if he was straight he wouldn’t have died, he’d have lived on into the 1970s and beyond. Maybe he would have been the one telling the story of Bletchley Park. Maybe he’d have given British technology an extra boost that kept it a step ahead of the US. Maybe he’d have turned his mind to his first interest, artificial intelligence, and unwittingly unleashed a nightmare on the world.
Impossible to know, of course, but I’m sure we’d have heard of him one way or another.
It is interesting how some people are remembered more than others. I’d heard of Turing and the “Turing Test” long before he became fashionable in part because of the sad way he suffered for his homosexuality. But try asking people in the street about Gordon Welchman: how many have heard of him? Similarly, outside the chess fraternity, how many people would know very much about C. H. O’D. Alexander or Sir Stuart Milner-Barry?
Have you heard of Bill Tutte, whose work is said to have shortened the war by two years?
Wildwoman:
He’d be as famous as Tommy Flowers.
RiC, I also heard the Beeb claim Turing ‘invented the computer’.
I was taught that Charles Babbage was the one who did that, assisted by Ada Lovelace. I also have a notion that Babbage’s wife and, I think, his sister also helped with his work. Strange that the Beeb – in their current mode – missed an opportunity to mention the women.
Thomas Fowler invented a ternary computer in 1844. He developed it while devising a more efficient way of doing the accounts of the local workhouse in Torrington in Devon. His machine was made of wood and has not survived.

While the anti-democrats work on another stitch-up in parliament, Salvini is fighting the good fight in Helsinki.
At a meeting of EU Interior Ministers, he’s refused to go along with the Franco-German plot to institute a EU-wide ‘migrant’ distribution system. Instead, he wants a Mediterranean ‘barrier’ against illegal migrants.
Elsewhere in Italy, Carola Rackete has appeared in court again, to demand the large-scale importation of ‘migrants’ into Europe. This ‘German’ captain of the ‘Sea-watch 3’ ‘migrant rescue’ ship is going to be every bit as much a pain in the posterior as the Thunberg woman. She is becoming another MSM darling, elected by no-one, but holding forth with big speeches on her personal pet project, and expecting sovereign states to fall in line.
We need all to be extra – vigilant.
And we could do with more Salvinis in Europe!
It has taken 25 years, but the Dutch are waking up!
‘Politicsweb’ reports from South Africa, that they are turning against the ANC. (And that’s saying SOMETHING!)
The Dutch parliament has accepted a motion condemning the SA government’s policy of ‘Expropriation without Compensation’ as being opposed to International Human Rights.
So a racially-motivated land-grab is, after all, being recognised as…well…a racially-motivated land-grab.
The Dutch were very supportive of the ANC during the Apartheid era, but have now realised that their faith in this organisation was not being rewarded with the promised freedom and non-racial democracy in post 1994 SA.
Wonder if and when the UK will wake up too?
And who knows, maybe there will soon be the odd voice from Europe, enquiring about the continuing attacks on white farms in SA? (Not that black farms are immune.) There were 22 farm attacks and three murders from 1-15 July 2019. Nowt on the wonderful impartial bbc about that, as yet. Shall we say, 25 years of silence on the subject? (Oh yes, programmes were interrupted when Mandela died, followed by days of wailing and garment-rending.)

Why are there so few Polish people on British TV?
Go on, hazard a guess.
Helen
My guess would be, because of Brexit.
Clearly, the atmosphere created by the non-binding, uninformed but far-right inspired racist vote to leave Europe has created such a climate of fear among people born anywhere but England that all Polish born people have simply either upped sticks and returned to Poland or gone to live elsewhere in the EU where they would undoubtedly be welcomed in a manner befitting the prodigal son.
Hence, the reason there are so few Polish people on British TV is because there are no longer any Polish people left in Britain.
It’s all our fault and we should hang our heads in shame. We should pay these poor victims reparation. Just add it to the £39bn.
Navets
Lots of Polish people in Wales despite Brexit ? They must have moved here from England ?
They have opened shops, cafes and mini-markets selling Polish food. Despite the fact that Wales voted for Brexit.
I am sure that there must be another “reason” they do not appear on TV.
Taff
There may well be an under representation of Welsh people on British TV as well. Come to think of it, I overheard someone saying that only people from a certain section of British people are over represented on British TV but I just can’t think who he may have been referring to.

I do notice that the ITV police drama Wild Bill set in Boston Lincs has Polish characters in every week.
I get the feeling that in a year more people on the same street in London appear on the BBC than in my entire region.
A quarter of a million people must have an accent from my region but I never hear one broadcast nationally.
Guy Martin is from the next region and he’s the only Grimsby accent I hear on the national media.
Because Poland doesn’t allow any Muslim immigrants so the likes of the BBC can’t find any Polish Muslims.

The election may be sooner rather than later if Parliament succeeds in frustrating Brexit after Boris’s Coronation.
The BBBC knows Corbyn to be an utter electoral liability and this may go some way to understanding them fanning the flames showing Labour under Corbyn to be anti-semitic. Clearly, the BBBC would prefer someone else to be the leader at the time of a general election. Sadly, the Labour party is now so overrun with militants, it wouldn’t matter who its leader is.
We do need, as you often say, to get right behind the Brexit Party.

I was shocked by the blatant bias on Radio 4’s 6 pm news today. The coverage of the “four women of colour” story in the US left out so much context that it was seriously flawed, not merely slanted.
There was no attempt to convey WHY it might be that a crowd would cheer Pres. Trump when he publicly named and criticized Ilhan Omar and AOC, and boo their names. The BBC report was determined to make it about gender (which it isn’t) and ethnicity (not the main part of it) instead of explaining the anti-American, open borders, pro-Islamic, anti-Semitic, Green/Socialistic words and actions of the four, which have divided even the US Democrats let alone the nation as a whole.
I have felt for many years, partly as a result of reading posts here and partly from my own online research, that the BBC’s coverage of the USA is very biased and gives you a poor picture of the complexity of the political situation there.
Just think: without Gina Miller’s intervention we’d now be out under the terms of Theresa May’s deal. You, know, the one that nobody wanted.

Well the indoctrination starts early doesn’t it.
My 6 year old granddaughter came home from school yesterday with a t shirt she had painted (with the help of her 20 something year old teacher).
A lovely picture of the sea, with a plastic bottle floating in it and the slogan “save our oceans”.
For gods sake can’t they just let them be kids!
Totally agree. We see constantly parents using their offspring to push their own views, whether its saving libraries, the oceans or Brexit. Its akin to taking toddlers to Disneyland – a waste of time and money – too young to understand, give them some crinkly paper and a box to play with and they’re happy.
“As the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, said today:
“I am so pleased we have had more than 900,000 applications to the EU Settlement Scheme.
“In just a few short months, hundreds of thousands of EU citizens and their families – our friends and neighbours – have secured their rights.
“This is great progress but we have more to do. EU citizens and their families have until at least 31 December 2020 to apply and we want no one to be left behind.””
So, 909,000 EU Citizens have now applied for status to become Brits. Two-thirds have been approved already, doubtless including many benefit cheats.
Add that to the hundreds of thousands of muslims and Africans the same Home Secretary broadcast as likely to reach 20 million or more on the way starting soon, mere weeks ago and you can say that immigration is a brisk business. God help those I’ll leave behind sometime within the next 10 years or less.
Unbelievable – just shows how disconnected these traitors are from the people who live in the real world.

This should be the test for Boris when he becomes PM. Sack the Home Secretary and terminate his immigration policy.
The Home Office would benefit by being run entirely by ex-military personnel and veterans.
Home Secretary?
Someone inform him that there is desperate shortage of houses , hospitals, schools , public transport etc etc etc .
In a nutshell, we are full up !
Nothing racist in that Mr Javid ?
He’s banging on again today, and starting his speech yet again (yawn?) about his upbringing, the bullying, his parent working hard when they arrived in my country etc etc. So bloody predictable.
Can you imagine the press reaction if J Rees-Mogg began any speech with HIS upbringing and education ? he’d get slaughtered.
I’d have just one question for our Home Secretary who preaches and praises how diverse this country is, …… “and what did your Dad contribute to defending this country he has benefited from in WW2 ?”
I wonder what his answer would be.

So when they gleefully (mis-) quote his comments on the gruesome foursome that they should ‘go back’ – to which we’re meant to react with shock and horror – I wonder if instead another few thousand people don’t think: mmm, he’s got a point.
Some might even wonder if our very own Lammys, Flabbotts and Ali Baba-Browns should also consider doing the same…

“turn up the heat” – Yes, can be easily achieved: ‘send him back’……
“… the BBC never went there, never asked what happens if we stay in the EU, what happens when the EU continues to push for ‘ever closer union’… economic, political and social take over …”
Precisely! This is the crux of the matter. Despite all the hypotheticals about what MIGHT happen if we leave, the BBC won’t ask about what remaining actually entails. It probably won’t mean the (already bad) status quo, as the EU project demands that the people be led, through a series of steps presented as being of economic benefit to them, towards “an ever-closer union”.
This is an epic fail by our national state-funded broadcaster. The lack of critical thinking about the state of the EU is astonishing; unless, that is, the BBC is biased in favour of the EU …
Seeing this, FNW, I popped over to the blah blah blah crud site to see what was what.
All I could read was anti-President Trump, wall to wall!
But the stupidest piece was by A. Zurcher, who said: –
“Three years ago, crowds at Donald Trump rallies called for the imprisonment of a political adversary. On Wednesday, they chanted for a member of the opposition party to be expelled from the country.
These are not behaviours emblematic of a healthy, well-functioning democracy.”
Only a blahboid could make such a ridiculous statement, when we have ‘militant’ leftie thugs like antifa and other kids forming gangs here, all climbing on anti-British bandwagons, hating the Brits and our way of life, and being a tiresome waste of benefits!
Still, at least this guy is over there, and President Trump knows exactly how to deal with ‘the beauties’.
Zurcher doesn’t tell us why Hillary Rodham Clinton should NOT go to prison for grievous breaches of state security regarding those e-mails and her private server … and no doubt at least half a dozen other things, such as destroying subpoena-ed data.
Scroblene – yup, they’ve had three years of The Donald, sorting things out, we’ve had three wasted years…
Amazing though, looking at your little list, how similar the problems are!
Check out on BBC news “Beachgoers come together to help stranded whales”
It’s a film of people trying to rescue stranded whales on a beach in Georgia US. The film chosen by the BBC from the tens on social media is narrated by a women (obviously) however for some reason they decide to edit it to include faux camera shutter sound and stills . Obviously this wasn’t contained in the lady’s phone filmed report. So why would they add the stills ???
You don’t even have to guess or watch it you know why…..drip …….drip …….drip
The Progressive ideology – aka Beboid thinking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism
Virtually anyone can write stuff in Wikipedia and I suspect this was by someone who isn’t impressed –

Definition of progressive theory in Aldous Huxley’s Ape and Essence
Aldous Huxley defined progressive theory in his novel Ape and Essence as:
Progress — the theory that you can get something for nothing; the theory that you can gain in one field without paying for your gain in another; the theory that you alone understand the meaning of history; the theory that you know what’s going to happen fifty years from now; the theory that, in the teeth of all experience, you can foresee all the consequences of your present actions; the theory that Utopia lies just ahead and that, since ideal ends justify the most abominable means, it is your privilege and duty to rob, swindle, torture, enslave and murder all those who, in your opinion (which is, by definition, infallible), obstruct the onward march to the earthly paradise. Remember that phrase of Karl Marx’s: ‘Force is the midwife of Progress.’ He might have added — but of course Belial didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag at that early stage of the proceedings — that Progress is the midwife of Force. Doubly the midwife, for the fact of technological progress provides people with the instruments of ever more indiscriminate destruction, while the myth of political and moral progress serves as the excuse for using those means to the very limit. I tell you, my dear sir, an undevout historian is mad. The longer you study modern history, the more evidence you find of Belial’s Guiding Hand.”[27]
/
PS. I have no idea who Belial was…
Some regard as the Hebrew word for devil.
Belial (בְלִיַּעַל bĕli-yaal) is a Hebrew word “used to characterize the wicked or worthless.”
from two common words: beli- (בְּלִי “without-“) and ya’al ( יָעַל “to be of value”).
His definition of “progress” is a bit over the top
Obviously there is technological progress.
And if society becomes less unfair, that is sociological progress.
But it’s often one step forward steps 2 back
eg the way government improves women’s LGBT rights then sits back whilst thousands of children become sex slaves to groom/rape gangs.
“Without these Wimmin man would not have walked on the moon “
Headline in the Guardian – possible winner of headline of the month . Obviously I don’t know what the article is about as I won’t be reading it – why would I – it’s the Guardian ?
So I assume it’s about the astronauts ‘ mums .
Why look at the Guardian? Because it is my enemy . It is the written manifestation of the BBC which is also my enemy .
And the BBC? Trumpeting a coming speech by the somewhat strange traitor Muslim Home Secretary about avoiding extreme language to avoid extremism .
I suppose this means traitor MP s don’t like being called traitor MPs for fighting against the outcome of a huge Democratic Vote .
As for Project Fear – Office of budget irresponsibility yesterday and a Commons traitor revolt followed today by an MP EU committee telling us yet again that it’s all bad . Of course . Yet again .
As an aside – a Labour peer got sacked by Corbyn for comparing his people to being in a bunker like Hitler .
So he is in his bunker and the traitor PM is in her bunker too . She is even going to announce public sector pay rises using existing budgets meaning better paid staff but less of them . Madness .
Fed,
“Why look at the Guardian? Because it is my enemy.”
Along with all the Western media – US as well to a greater or lesser extent.
But, if anyone had any previous doubts, our House of Commons is our enemy to a now quite an amazing extent. Evidence that so-called ‘democracy’ is dead. Would any future Government even contemplate another Referendum on any topic? I’d wager not on the memory of the one in 2016.
If Boris is blocked from avoiding Parliament to force a Brexit, unless the people have some sort of meaningful leverage – a tax strike – for example, the only other way is a General Election. Personally I would prefer the latter which will be the only event that could potentially usher in a Farage led Brexit Party as the largest/most dominant faction. If that happens, it would be the biggest and most extensive clear out of all (or most) of the current wasters in the HoC. Then ‘upward and onward’ to the House of Lords, BBC……….Major ‘swamp draining’.
Sky, but… worth it.
Our media.

TOADY Watch #1 – more Roomita Elephantitis
On switch @ 6.00am (yeah, I know) and I’m told that later in the programme we are going to hear about going to the moon again by the mid-2020s. That unnecessary (but beneficial) activity will result in unnecessary carbon use and unnecessary CO2 emissions and lots of tough questions about that will be asked of the contributors. Or not.
I suspect not.
I wonder why?
UPDATE TO MY POST
I was right. No questions about Anthropogenic Global Warming, Climate Change, Climate Emergency, Climate Crisis, Climate Disaster and Carbon NetZero.
I wonder why?
According to the State broadcaster, Home secretary Sajid Javid is to make an anti-extremism speech today, following the publication of a poll suggesting 52% of respondents had witnessed ‘extremism’ (e.g. having any concerns whatsoever about immigration). Just 52%? Surely 100% of the British population witness extremism every day, especially if they see, hear or read the BBC. Here’s some examples of what real people consider to be extremism:
1. Being told men can turn into women.
2. Having their children forced to learn about non-traditional lifestyles.
3. The constant assault on our culture and tradition.
4. Forced to pay higher prices for energy to indulge the fantasies of the global warming con.
5. Having their democratic wish to leave the EU suppressed.
6. The diversity delusion.
7. Multicultural madness.
8. Flatulent feminism.
9. Islamification.
10. The relentless push for globalisation.
Mr Javid says he “knows what it’s like to be told to go back to where I came from.” And so he should – meaning back to under his stone in this case.
Ian
I heard that pile of shite too.
I think the 52% was not a poll but a percentage of responders. In other words a non-random self-selecting group.
But no doubt the Guardianista intelligensia will take it as gospel.
This has to be the test for the next Tory PM – how soon will he get rid of Savid Javid.
“Lobby Land a BBC 6.30pm Comedy returns to Radio 4 tonight” I am told by the BBC.
Snuffy’s memory can be defective but I don’t ever recall the first series being on Radio 4 at 6.30pm unless it only lasted for one programme and I missed it because I was out.
Anyone else know if this is another BBC con?
Checking via the Schedules as well as the BBC search facility it appears that Series One does not exist. Series 2 is only four programmes long. It is possible that I missed a Series 1 of a similar length.*
The BBC’s so-called ‘Search’ facility is absolute rubbish, so I am not surprised that it doesn’t appear there.
* The BBC have a record of dishonesty over repeats but I also wonder whether this is a ‘politics-related FakeNews’ spoof done, for obvious reasons, with a glance westwards. If anyone remembers the first Series do let me know. Stew Green – our ace Schedule watcher – might remember.
@Snuffy doesn’t understand that you have to click the series title to open up the episodes
It was always on at 11pm before
5 Sep 2017 pilot edition
June 2018 Series 1 , 4 episodes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b6t2gb/episodes/guide
Snuffy does understand, Stew, and I did just that. In my browser with my ‘PC ancien’ all I could call up were the episodes in the current series. But thanks for confirming my suspicions. The BBC were lying. Again. OK, not a capital offence in this case but he (or she or it or they) who is scrupulous in the small things may be considered truthful in the grand matters of State.
Funny thing, maxincony wasn’t on here to pick up the BBC on that little bit of misrepresentation.
I wonder why?
He is normally so picky.
All going to plan.
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-bbcs-all-out-war-on-brexit/?
After the 7am news on Today, Justin speculating with Lord knows who every which way Brexit can be avoided and if they can bring down the government? Isn’t this treason?
To be fair, it suited my objectives. I switched off and got up.
Deborah
The interviewee was a retired£££££££ lord lord called sumpter ( used the reith lectures as a shameful remainer propaganda piece ) – talking about sending the head of state to Brussels to sort out brexit . It sounded like he was on his private island in the pacific –
Strange how the BBC gives air time to ex politicians and the like each week to let them air their hostility to brexit .
Last week was major threatening to use Soros cash for judicial review
Next is will be heseltine being exhumed again
Same with Blair and the occasional Brown
Funny how the BBC no longer carries the daily Soubry rant , or the Heidi the liar , or chooka or that West Country MP who some how is also a GP ? They were famous once ..
Lord Sumption, Fed.
Actually, Jonathan Sumption said something interesting about the Major threat to Brexit. That’s the threat from the minor British (failed) PM called John Major, not a reference to Miliband major who is also anti-Brexit and is also rolled out by the BBC, when available, to Bash Brexit.
The Law Lord’s opinion is that the Major attempt might fail.
Up2
I’ve listened to the Reith Lectures for as long as I remember and expected a challenge . Instead – from a ‘law lord ‘ I got an o level essay of little value – apart from the use of the ‘off switch ‘ -which I have relabelled the BBC switch .
I, too , think the idea of trying a Judicial Review to stop the conduct of Parliament would fail because , in a twisted way, the sovereignty of Parliament trumps to judiciary – and these nonsense parliamentary motion ‘wish lists ‘ are just remainers raging at the predicament they have put themselves in where 500 won’t obey the direction which came with the Referendum vote .
I wish they’d just switch to either making our country stronger outside the ReichEU or sabotaging the economy in order to get the UK back into the EU .
I think they’ll do the latter and will pray of the pound to die and the UK goes into recession – which of course – is coupled with something called ‘unemployment , Civil unrest , inflation , rising interest rates and the ‘normal ‘ stuff which occupies the MSM.
“off switch” = “The Richard Bacon switch”
Fed, I got into the Reith Lectures about a quarter of a century ago, maybe a bit more. It’s that Radio 4 effect of middle-age, I guess.
I listened to a couple of Lord Sumption’s episodes but I found his going round in circles and also cutting across himself – strange I thought for an experienced Judge – with some apparent contradictions, really frustrating and annoying.
As to the rest of your post, I gather Philip Hammond has said Brexit should be delayed until next year. I think he may be hoping there will be a massive world recession and Brexit would then be postponed or cancelled.
In that event, I have a bit of news for the Chancellor. The next big crash, if the EU is also affected, and the SPIIGs especially so, the UK is committed to bailing out financially the EU and those ‘weak’ member States.
You, your Brexit obstructing Parliamentary and Civil Service colleagues, together with the EU, Mr Chancellor, will be extremely unpopular with the nation as a whole. There is likely to be a mass handing out of P45s at the earliest electoral opportunity.
Martha R4
trying her hardest to get guests to say what she wants and when they don’t she says ‘I think we know what you mean’…no you don’t because they didn’t say it…R4 doing their best to promote the ‘Stop no deal’…
And starting point for discussion on extremism..right wing, vegans.. no mention of Islam…. WTF
Toady at 0740 and in the interests of impartiality a very small cheer for Martha Kearney.
She was interviewing the chair of the investigation into extremism, one Sara Khan (what a surprise, enough said).
All Khan wanted to talk about was extremism in all forms, mainly Far Right.
Martha gets a bit of credit because a few times she challenged Khan that extremism that results in e.g blowing up people at pop concerts in Manchester might be a bit worse than other forms.
Khan refused point blank on each occasion to single out such events. Apparently we need to be more concerned about beiing negative to immigrants.
Yes, blowing up people is OK, but opposing unfettered mass immigration is not.
A complete whitewash.
I’m so glad I’d had enough by then and done my BBC duty for the day .
We saw fairwell to the last “this week’ and the last paid up journalist at the BBC last night . Farewell Brillo.
It’s good to get these insights into how narrowly focused people can be. Is this a form of extremism?
I wonder what the discussion at the job interview was like?
Rewriting history on the fly.
See also Ilhan Omar’s communications director (a Jewish man) who’s been roped in to divert the narrative around extremism.
Meanwhile 25,000 Islamist extremists who could pose a threat are in the UK according to EU figures.

TOADY Watch #2 – Overthetop Anniversary
The BBC on R4 are overdoing the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo moon mission compared to some other recent ones. They completely forgot the 100th Anniversary of the end of WW1 and also the 50th Anniversaries of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, the d’Oliveira Affair and the death of Jan Palach on Radio 4, in my listening at least. There may have been other omissions.
The BBC don’t do comedy anymore. They don’t do (proper) science, geography or history either.
Quite good on propaganda, however, especially anti-Brexit, feminist, gender and LeftyLibby propaganda.
Cue a really excellent Newswatch.
