More project super panic pushing by the Climate Brigade…
An expert quoted on R4 re the flooding in Yorkshire. “climate change means that we will see more of this sort of thing and that we will have to consider moving people out of some areas altogether”.
Now…
I have seen many reports of floods over the years and for that matter quite a lot in Yorkshire and Cumbria which because of it’s position tends to attract heavy rain from time-to time.
I recall the lower floor of my parents house in Staffordshire under 2 feet of water following one such freak storm over 50 years ago.
I also remember the sea flooding a huge area of Lincolnshire in the 1950’s during heavy weather.
I also remember a huge wall of water sweeping down a valley through a Cornish village in the 1960’s after a heavy storm and causing huge damage.
Yes, it’s nothing new or changing at all, it’s weather, out of our control and we therefore take what comes and deal with it.
This sort of approach would be laughable applied to other events: e.g.; someone trips over a broken paving slab. Conclusion “pavements are inherently dangerous we need to work towards eliminating pavements as quickly as possible to save ourselves from this happening again, in the meantime everyone should avoid walking where possible or walk on the road which is much more level”.
@Digg They’ll be doing a lot of Confirmation Bias
..before a flood was just a flood
..Now with their belief that we have offended the Climate gods
..Every time a flood happens they do notice and use it confirm their belief.
Stew, the big problem is that ‘we’ are the Climate Gods.
Self-appointed, too.
3:40pm Radio4 Book Club : Ayisha Mailk
who ? she ghostwrites Nadiya Hussain’s novels
.. See the BBC created the Nadiya brand, this was extended to include Nadiya the fiction writer, telling us stories set in Muslimland.
Ayisha Mailk told the listeners how she was selected cos she is a similar Muslim
.. The publisher’s editor and Nadiya would sit with her and explain their story and character ideas , then she would go away and write the books.
“It’s like been Obama’s speech write, you are the voice of the famous person”
.. Ayisha Mailk said this is the first and only time she will work as a ghostwriter.
…See medialand is so fake.
Zoey Ball has lost 10% of listeners in the last quarters
Her weekly reach is 8.27m whereas Chris Evans was 9.07m
Ken Bruce is now #1 with 8.49m
… However IMHO Weekly Reach is a rubbish metric.
Zoe Ball (48) and Sara Cox (44). Ladettes from the 90’s and well past their sell-by dates. Trying too hard to act like lefty yoof.
Encouraged by Janet Street-Porter (87) and trying even harder.
I’m sorry, can someone please clarify? Zoe Ball (48), Sara Cox (44), Janet Street-Porter (87). Is that their ages, their IQs or the number of listeners they have?
Nah, our Jan aint 87, she aint even 78, she’s 71, I fink.
D,
But you must admit they do look kinda cool-ish in their 500 friendship rings/ bangles on each wrist.
I hear they need a lot of help from their online fans in knowing how to “high 5” Lilly Allen without getting an hernia and in turn either Ball or Cox provide the tissues for Lilly.
Just in case David Lammy is checking this website and reports me to Geldofs double – Ms Queen Greta herself; it could be 499.

Prepare to never hear the last of it. Apparently she won the race. Alastair Stewart has just been gushing about it on Talk Radio so the BBC won’t be far behind.
The first ever woman in a hijab to win on a horse.
The way he is championing her, you would think she had run the race herself, without the horse!
Surely it was the horse that won the race not the Muslim.
Oh and Alaistair “respects her passionately” for the fact that she won’t be celebrating with champagne.
And Maxi Boy came 9th out of 11 ….
The Hijab wearing 18 year old girl is the top story on the BBC children’s channel (CBBC newsround). Kids are responding that the story is “inspirational”. But why is it inspirational? Because the BBC have been spreading a narrative on their children’s channel that muslims, especially female muslims, are a victim group in Britain and subject to British cultural oppression:

I’m surprised this took so long. After all most of the Best Horses are owned by oil rich billionaire Arabs and are stabled in the UK.
But daddy, if you don’t allow me to ride a horse I might convert to atheism.
https://variety.com/2019/tv/columns/cnn-democratic-debate-night-2-review-biden-harris-booker-1203287702/
“it’s another thing entirely for CNN to nudge people into performing the roles it wants of them with leading questions aimed more at starting fights than shedding light.”
And yet Jon, Katty & Kru cannot emulate them enough.
Today history was made. A mohamidan girl wearing a hijab won a horse race. First time ever,
I understand that they did not fly up to heaven together, so she will be around for future documentary series on horses and how she was discriminated against by the white skinned race.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/49190163
Can she cook, also? New BBC series. ‘Koranic-Cook-Jock’.
Sure to be another winner…
So what?
When jockey’s are fully kitted out in helmet and cap etc you can’t see much except their face (example below, I hope)
Bl**dy silly supremacist islamic t*rt.
I’m sick of this Oooooh a hijabi has done x,y,z. As if it was a similar feat to having one leg. (£$%^&!).
D,
“So what?”
Drinks all rou….erm, prayer mats all round.
Help..
On the 25th July I posted the following post on here….
“Another snipe from Charlie Stayte this morning on breakfast..
Shows photos of three members of the new cabinet – Matt Hancock Gavin Williamson Jacob Rees-Mogg together.
Says, “ Matt Hancock, Gavin Williamson, and on the far right, Jacob Rees-Mogg..
What a pillock…”
The program was broadcast at 8.30am on 25th July on BBC1 breakfast.
I was so incensed about this I took the trouble to put in a complaint to the relevant BBC dept. This is the complaint..
• bbc_complaints_website@bbc.co.uk To David …….. 25 Jul at 21:38
Dear Mr …….
Thanks for contacting the BBC. This is to confirm we’ve received the attached complaint sent in this name. We’ve included the text of the complaint and a case reference for your records (see below). Please don’t reply to this email because it’s an automated acknowledgement sent from an account which can’t receive replies. If you do need to get in touch, please use our webform instead at http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints, quoting your reference number. We’ll normally include the text below in our overnight report to producers and management of all the complaints and other reaction we receive today (with your personal details removed). This means it will reach the right people by tomorrow morning. We’ll do our best to reply as soon as we can, but the time needed depends on the nature of your complaint. If we can’t reply as soon as we’d like (usually within 10 working days) we’ll let you know. For full details of our complaints process please visit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/handle-complaint/. Here are the details of your complaint: -
——— YOUR COMPLAINT: Complaint Summary: Offence to Jacob Rees-Mogg Full Complaint:
Another snipe from Charlie Stayte this morning on breakfast.. Shows photos of three members of the new cabinet – Matt Hancock, Gavin Williamson, Jacob Rees-Mogg together. Stayte Says, “ Matt Hancock, Gavin Williamson, and on the far right, Jacob Rees-Mogg.. This was a ‘double entendre,’ deliberately made by Charlie State, to imply that Rees-Mogg is a ‘far right’ politician.
Noun : ’far right ‘. 1. The extreme right wing of a political party or group.
2. The term is often used to describe Nazism,[4] neo-Nazism, fascism, neo-fascism and other ideologies or organizations that feature ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, racist, anti-communist, or reactionary views.
We are all aware that Top Gear was investigated over Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘slope’ comment, After a thorough investigation, Ofcom has found the BBC breached broadcasting rules by including an offensive racial term.
I find the term ‘ far right’ to be offensive, and was deliberately used to show the BBC’s biased agenda.. ———-
Thank you again for contacting us, BBC Complaints Team www.bbc.co.uk/complaints Please note: this email is sent from an unmonitored address so please don’t reply. If necessary please contact us through our webform (please include your case)
That was the complaint I sent.
Today I got the reply.
Dear Mr L…..
Reference CAS-5557052-XPQ2Z2
Thank you for contacting us regarding BBC One’s ‘Breakfast’ which was broadcast on 25 July.
I understand you were unhappy that Charlie Stayt referred to Jacob Rees-Mogg as being “on the far right there” during a sequence in which images of the new members of the cabinet were displayed onscreen.
Whilst I appreciate your concerns, I can assure you that Charlie was merely referring to where the image of Mr Rees-Mogg was positioned onscreen.
Let me assure you that impartiality is central to all of our news and current affairs output and we ensure all our presenters, correspondents and production teams are aware of this to help us deliver fair and balanced coverage for all the stories we report.
Charlie Stayt is an experienced and respected journalist who is fully aware of our commitment to impartiality and he would never undermine a story by taking sides on any issue.
Senior editorial staff within BBC News and the BBC Board keep a close watch to ensure that standards of impartiality are maintained.
Finally, I would like to assure you that we value your feedback. All complaints are sent to senior management and the makers of ‘Breakfast’ every morning and we included your points in our overnight reports. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future output.
Thank you once again for getting in touch.
Kind regards
Terry Hughes
BBC Complaints Team..
What a complete pack of lies ….. There were only three people in the image. Left , middle and right. He didn’t need to say. “Far right.” I can’t believe they have the audacity to even attempt to sweep this explanation under the carpet..
Anyway. That is all of the information about my complaint.
I am not going to let this rest here and will take this all the way.
It may be helpful if some more of us were to send in similar complaints about this incident
Thanks.
They are laughing at us they are in complete control of the media. Once we get out of Europe we should put all our efforts into getting rid of the totally utterly biased BBC.
That Muslim hijab wearing jockey said that she was inspired by Lester Piggot…. I mean Lester Pigg, no hang on, Lester….
No it was Dick Francis.
BTW Fed, I backed Maxi Boy at 10 to 4 and the last I heard, it crossed the finish at 6.30.
Cass
I fear Maxi Boy might be one of those gg s they get to odds of 33/1 and then he wins …..
To be fair – a furlong out, she/ horse looked a winner. What happens if she wins the Queen Mother amateur race at York…female riders where the winner collects their bodyweight in champagne.
Re the photo of Richard Johnson above….Hayley Turner, when riding at Wolves or Southwell during the winter months, looks like she’s wearing the full kit – nevermind a jibjab – face protection against the cold and the kickback.
Re earlier comments about horse/jockey ability.. .. as a rule of thumb for ability…92% horse, 5% trainer and 3% jockey.
Mark Lardell could’ve won on Frankel.
BBC Online News:
“”Trump imposing more tariffs on Chinese goods””
“”Investors reacted to the news with dismay. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones share index fell sharply, tumbling about 1%.””
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49199559
Since when has a fluctuation of 1% been described as , ‘fell sharply, tumbling about 1%’.
Who were the ‘investors reacting with dismay’? Any evidence, BBC?
Go on, BBC. Say it. You hate Trump. Always have done and always will. It’s in your DNA.
More BBC anti-Trump rhetoric which they have maintained without a break for over four years if we count the election run-up.
Crazy headline and only 2 people were crazy enough to retweet it

D,
“Go on, BBC. Say it. You hate Trump. Always have done and always will. It’s in your DNA.”
Trouble is D, the moderns within every BBC Dept really do believe that most of its viewing/listening audience hate Trump also. The fact that a certain number of its viewers complains is of no interest to them as most of its audience are held captive by the Strictly bug. As Nicky Campbell showed this morning on BBC Radio 5 Live.
The man was behaving like a child behaves when their hippy teacher tells them that the afternoon lessons are being put-off so they can go home early.
He was, giggling so much that I thought he would end his display with a WHOOCHER.
However, his co-presenter was doubtful for its future as she said: but where are the big stars? Don’t think Campbell liked that. She felt that the guests are not stars.
Oh, and the BBC producer of the show promised Campbell she (it was a she) intends to have a female dancer (presumably dancing with another female) on the show very soon. Then she promised she was looking into a Disabled Guest. Then hopefully Mr HUNT MP. She was quite giggly for him to appear on the show, and she kept on naming all kinds of people who are never invited to dance with the stars. So expect the first Transgender star very soon indeed. I hope you can see how the BBC is so in a bubble that they forget us in the real world who pay their wages.
Rant over.
2 Muslim Comedy TV shows
I see Tez Ilyas has a Channel 4 show tonight
but when I check I see his mate has been given a show as well
Muzlamic but it’s only on BBC3
That BBC3 show has this sketch
Now this would be funny
but AFAIK TV hosts bend over backwards not to be seen asking Muslim guests hard questions
I wouldn’t expect every one them to be grilled every time, but I not seen anything significant.
About six weeks ago, one of the Directors of the company that I work for, who is a staunch remainer, was bemoaning the fact that a referendum is a ‘one off’ but ‘normal’ parliamentary elections occur every five years or so, so why was that the case? His logic was that if there was a second referendum now, it would return a strong remain vote. so why did he have to wait so long? I felt like saying to him that the people who originally voted in 1975 had to wait over forty years for a revote! Obviously didn’t say that as remainers are vindictive and people who have spoken openly about supporting leave haven’t lasted long in the company!
I see the BBC were quick to report that Germany wouldn’t paticipate in any naval mission in the gulf if it was led by the Americans (Trump). I think the BBC forgot to ask if Germany has any seaworthy vessels able to participate? Why didn’t ‘Reality Check’ investigate this? (A quick google confirms that none of their submarines were seaworthy in 2018). Maybe because the BBC hates Trump so much? Oh well, ‘hands up’ for the Belgiums!
Now here is a market opportunity for the BBC, Tony.
In the West, there’s no need to ban TV shows or movies. Just make them unwatchable through historical revisionism and extreme woke-ism, changing the ethnicities, genders and sexual orientalisms and, er, facts. The audience will vote with their feet and pockets.
There’s another connection to the BBC here. Their website today reports that the first official ‘Peaky Blinders’ festival, based on the TV series, is to be held in Birmingham next month. Now, Peaky Blinders proved very popular and gave viewing pleasure to a lot of people, particularly the first couple of series. But without any sense of irony, the creator and writer Stephen Knight tells BBC ‘News’: “…it’s all about historical accuracy. The key is in the fact that we’re trying to be as true to that world as possible, you know..”.
Well, sort of. The series is set in the aftermath of WWI and during the 1920s. In reality, the Blinders ‘peaked’ in the 1890s and first few years of the 20th Century and were history before the end of the Edwardian era. They were predominately a street gang. They did not become sophisticated business men, or engage in machine gun battles with the New York-based Mafia in Birmingham tenements. The Birmingham portrayed in the series reflects the increasing BBC obsession with race: a unlikely black preacher is in season 1, there are mixed race lads in season 2, with the numbers of ethnics increasing with each season as the BBC gain confidence/arrogance in historical revisionism. Expect the next season later this year to continue this approach, with faux feminism and gender manipulation thrown into the mix for the hell of it.
A good yarn and entertainment? Yes, maybe. But historical accuracy? As their former employee George Orwell wrote: “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”

I watched the repeats recently . It is easy to notice the rapid increase in non white actors showing up as box tickers. I’m sure the next series will stick to reality when the blinders use their helicopter to get to the airport and get Concorde to America in 1924…..
The BBC does seem to have a mental illness about needing to box tick in everything ….. using nazi style propaganda techniques to re form the public ‘mind ‘ – air brushing reality to confirm to its ridiculous multicultural multi sexual view of the world .
Apparently the former Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Labour government of 1929-1931 and Labour MP for Smethwick, aka Oswald Mosley, features in season 5. So, plenty of opportunity there. I’ll be really impressed with the BBC if he’s played by ‘Sir’ Lenny Henry: local lad from Dudley, perfect match I would have thought. Or maybe Thandie Newton, she’s got a nice speaking voice.
#WeWokeItToDeathOurBBCNotYourBBC
Ian. Unfortunately Sir Lenny Henry will be unable to play Oswald Mosley as he is fully tied up filming the next series of Miss Marple, playing the lead of course.
What happened to his career as an amazing Shakespearean actor? He played Othello in 2009 and was in The Comedy of Errors, I think, a few years later. Lavish praise, naturally, but not much since as far as I’m aware.
Just watching the hatey word police on Channel More 4.
It’s amazing how they can respond to people using the N word and P word within an hour but not investigate burglary.
They have some kid on who had been called a Paki.
They asked him what caused it and he said something similar to “Trump and Farage and Bin Laden and ISIS, all of them are making people feel like shit to be honest”.
So liken Trump and Farage to Islamic terrorists.
BBC Newsnight presenter Emma Barnett stating her opinion many times that the dam near Manchester is damaged “due to climate change” whilst interviewing the man responsible who says engineers are looking into the actual cause right now. She then keeps interrupting him saying he hasn’t done anything to combat climate change.
Then onto the next biased article about NHS drug import delays due to brexit. Whoever the woman ‘expert’ was, was allowed to speak anti brexit as much as she liked without any interruption. She was saying “.. delays at Dover due to brexit, then traffic in the UK, more delays caused by extreme UK weather…”. Of course the traffic in the UK and the weather is never a problem whilst we are inside the EU.
The BBC don’t make any attempt to hide their bias anymore.
BBC moaning emole:
“Future of collapsing dam ‘in the balance’
Engineers are continuing efforts to save a partially collapsed dam threatening to flood the Derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge. Emergency services have been working through the night, using high-volume pumps to relieve pressure on its wall. And an RAF Chinook helicopter is at the scene, dropping 400 tonnes aggregate in a bid to divert watercourses away from Toddbrook Reservoir. Around 6,500 people were told to leave their homes on Thursday, amid warnings of a threat to life. Many homeowners and businesses in the area opened their doors to aid evacuees. For a sense of the danger, see our picture gallery and follow our live updates for the latest.“
Did Emma fully convey a BBC ‘sense of the danger’?
I blame Barnes Wallis.
Tabs.
I disagree.
Emma Barnett cannot be described as a presenter.
Rude, objectionable cow trying to make a name for herself is more accurate.
Credit to the mild-mannered guy she was interrogating for not losing it.
Political-Greens are so often #FakeGreens
… see in this video how the UK’s main NGO dedicated to PROTECTING the countryside. got into promoting electricity supplies that industrialise the MOST countryside
.. whilst at the same time they hiss and spit at the types of supply like nuclear/gas that take up the LEAST countryside.
There is such a difference between real-world maths and Green-dream maths.

Is Carney ‘crying wolf’ or deliberately talking down the economy to cause a recession? This could be part of the plan to keep us in the EU.
Democracy and independence is being undermined .
taff,
I wouldn’t mind betting that those kind of remainers are having their very own behind the scenes “Cobra Meetings” twice a day now.
You can bet they have a long list of “must do” and “must not say” papers to be released to the public hoping to scare the doubters.

Hijab wearing female jockey, AMAZING achievement according to the BBC . Job for life at the BBC awaits.
Fall in the value of the pound, terrible news for holiday makers and household budgets , Steph really keen to hammer home that food prices could increase.
By-election result a DISASTER for Boris !!!!!
Same s**t , different day.
Vintage Toady
The biased BBC so called ‘ fact checker’ Chris Morris –
Highly selective choice of what ‘facts’ to check . The BBC has a thing for ‘no deal ‘ with Brexit . So when Dominic raab said that ‘ no deal ‘ was discussed in the referendum debate they went after him .
Yet even with intense research they couldn’t call him out as a ‘ liar’ in the way they wanted to .
The BBC only seem to check the facts that suits them .
Secondly
A bi election – not quite the victory for remainers. The BBC claimed – the Tory and Brexit Party vote split the brexiter vote leading to a Remain win . The greens didn’t stand and labour came 4th – despite the reason for the election – being a corrupt Tory convicted of fraud .
A 1400 majority for Remain liberals ? In the circumstances – with a 60% turn out – not the positive Remain vote the BBC portrayed it .
D,
“By-election result a DISASTER for Boris !!!!!”
I think we all expected that result. In fact the Tories deserve it after all their treachery. Unless we get out of the EU we can expect the annihilation of the Tory Party at the next GE to continue .
you pay your telex tax (maybe you, because i dont)..
and you can now watch some iplayer content for upto 12 months..
BBC iPlayer gets Ofcom green light to make shows available for a year
Goods news as you already paid for it. but if this means the beeb can’t sell it after 31days, they are loosing money – over 75’s are being taxed, who next?
The BBC don’t want to sell it after 31 days. This is about supporting the new BritBox subscription series. At present, they sell material to Netflix and Amazon, so if you want to watch the small selection of decent dramas/documentaries they occasionally produce, you can sometimes do so on Netflix or Amazon within a few months of their airing. As these are streaming services it is not necessary to pay the TV Poll Tax to watch (you do, of course, have to subscribe to such services but this is your choice and gives access to a wider range of programming). By providing material for up to a year and denying it to other services, they hope to make BritBox more attractive and give it an advantage.
BritBox… why don’t they just call it iPayer to complement the iPlayer service? You’re welcome, BBC Marketing department.
good point Ian
Fedup
I totally agree. The shit-stirring piece on what Raab may or may not have said 3 years ago was a real lowlight. Typical BBC selectivity though.
What came before it was an article on the disabled having sex. Now although I am fairly sympathetic about this topic, I noted that someone paid for a sex worker out of his disability benefits.
OK but it does rather kill the Far Left notion that state benefit levels from the evil Tories are too mean.
But needless to say, our impartial BBC friends chose not to explore that one.
Another, different example of the BBC news room’s ‘selectivity’.
The dilemma, do I feed myself, keep myself warm or get my end away. We need more and more and a bigger motability car wouldn’t go amiss.
Boris should have gone to The Brexit Party and formed a coalition.
Add up the scores here in Brecon……………
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-49200636
Lessons to be learned?
Sounds of ‘great joy’ coming from Al Beeb Wales this morning.
Isn’t that the new normal to add up the losing votes and claim a win? We’ll surely we can say that Leave voting parties won the election then rather than the Lib Dems.
I’m not sure the people of Brecon really knew what they were voting for. Surely there needs to be a second vote? Maybe go for a best of three if they still don’t get it right? Plus it’s probably the case that the Russians interfered in the voting – it’s only about 120 miles from Salisbury where they poisoned thousands of people last year.
Note that two parties did not stand ie Plaid and The Greens, both remain parties.
The lines are drawn, Leave Parties V Remain Parties.
I think Boris’s ego will prevent him from working with Nigel Farage, unfortunately. This could lead to a split in the Brexit vote. Ironically, the Brexit Party splitting the vote could result in a remain victory in the event of a general election.
Jez feeling shame, or Jez assigning it?
Thread. Especially the bit where journalist Emily leaves out a rather key piece of information.
Distorts things, if you will.
I wonder if Arthur Laffer would have told the story about how the Laffer Curve was invented and why? Or whether Emily would have asked him about it?
No?
I wonder why?

TODAY Watch #1 – Why the long voices?
I had forgotten about the Radnorshire by-Election. Switched on R4 at 6.40am approx. An air of gloom apparent, very flat voices. Then came the result news in 7am news. Why the gloom, BBC? The Anti-Brexit Party won, albeit with help from the Greens and Plaid Cymru. I visit the BBC web-site and get a breakdown of the results.
Aaah, I see ……. . . . .
Labour vote – the other probably, maybe, possibly, anti-Brexit Party – collapsed and their candidate nearly lost their deposit. The Conservative vote fell. Do I hear BBC cheers? No. The Brexit Party more than made up for it. Then you could also add the UKIP vote to theirs.
Now I understand.
On a high turnout, Labour devasted and add the Conservative, TBP & UKIP Votes together and the disgraced Conservative candidate would have romped home, beating the Lib anti-Dems. Maybe things would have been better for the Labour Party and the BBC had we left the EU in July 2018 or March 2019.
You didn’t think of that, back then, did you BBC?
You may have to put up with Bojo for another three years, BBC. Would you like to re-wind the digital recorders and change your minds about what you propagandise and why?
At least Labour had enough sense to get rid of their deselected MP well before the by-election in Peterboro. The Tories reselected their duffer in Radnor
Stupidity has consequences.
A victory for FPTP last night in Brecon. Alastair Campbell would say a victory for Leave using his European Election logic.
Toady 2
Humph chats to the Remainer head of the Bank of England – tried to put words into his mouth, fails to challenge assertions made in the past to put people of brexit .
It’s funny that the BBC doesn’t ‘like ‘ businesses – except when it’s the CBI or sucking up to German car makers like BMW . Then businesses and cars are great ….. embarrassing anti brexit bias – I’m almost at the stage of laughing at it ….
The BBC didn’t make much of the failure of the Boris Government to nominate someone to the EU for the IMF or similar jolly – George Osborne was meant to be the man but no one has been nominated – Because We Are Leaving . ….. and all part of the ‘goodbye’ process the Remainers continue to deny – despite democracy ….
Fedup – Humph is actually a very poor, very manipulative interviewer. His constant leading questions and frequent interruptions reflect his desire to dominate the narrative, even though he is supposed to be getting the narrative of the person being interviewed.
If you want to train interviewers, and show them how it’s NOT done, Humph would be the one to model.
Fake
You can hear the tiredness in Humph these days . He is like other BBC pensioners such as Attenborough , John Simpson, naughty and any one else who has been with the BBC for a long time .
Entitled , wealthy , smug, comfortable and clever enough to have morphed from journalist to malignant BBC clone .
They’ll be replaced by another aging BBC clone of a different colour and ‘ orientation ‘….
Retweeted by the BBC’s Gary Lineker .. (all views his own)
A prolific tweeter about all things Anti Brexit is our Gary, but strangely, sweet FA about the elderly having to pay the license fee due to his obscene tax funded salary. !!!!
Richard Bacon , GaryLineker are almost the same person
What a dilema for the BBC with the by election win for the Fib Dems over the cowardly incompetents of the Tory party who were so arrogant they thought voters would sanction a convicted criminal expenses cheat as candidate.
On the one hand the have the remainer party winning – Yay !
But on the other hand it is marred by the involvement of the ‘controversial’ Lord Rennard’ who has been accused by various women of sexual harrasment – Boo!
Jo Swinson the new leader said – I do not want Lord Rennard to continue as a member of the party, yet has done nothing as yet to action any change, and he is now credited with the by election win.
So what would any biased news medium do to avoid such unpleasant exposure taking the shine off the victory? Exactly what they have been doing – promoting what they see as good whilst never reminding people of the bad, which is off because as a wimmins rights champion you would expect the corporation to be all over this like a rash.
David David David !!!!!

TOADY Watch #2 – a Cosy Relationship with Mark Carney
The BBC? No. George Osborne. George Osborne, Editor of the London Evening Standard. George Osborne, former MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Prominent Remain campaigner – never, ever, mentioned by the BBC – during the EU Referendum Campaign.
Ever since the election of Ms May, the Tories seem to have embarked on a course of self-destruction.
Using a thoroughly discredited candidate in the latest by-election fiasco was stupid beyond belief. Message to voters: ‘we couldn’t care less what you think’….And this at a very critical moment!
Not making a deal with the Brexit Party was another big mistake. Hopefully the (obvious) lesson has now been learnt.
How irritating to have to listen to the shrill and undeserving Swinson crowing away, when she should easily have been beaten. And to realise that she actually has more sense than the Tory leadership.
Just listening to Professor Curtice state the obvious on Toady. Another Professor present to do the same. I’d love to make a bit of pin money stating the obvious, but then, I’m not a ‘professor’.
All against the background of a massive Bbc and MSM project Fear.
BBC business live ….. the main points.
Carney: No-deal would mean higher petrol and food prices
Carney: No-deal would create ‘instantaneous’ shock
Carney: ‘Restructuring’ an economy ‘very difficult’
Carney: ‘Not helpful’ to downplay challenges of Brexit
Japanese shares sink
UK shares fall sharply
Strangely, however, not one single challenge , ever, from the BBC to Mr Carney about his past forecasting. His word, as a Remainer, is taken as gospel and CANNOT be challenged. But lets take the Boris bus figures, which have proved to be correct when investegated in the Courts, constant challenge and ridicule from the BBC, but he is a leaver you see, so his figures MUST be challenged.
BIAS hypocrites. Project Fear in full flow AGAIN !!!!
The BBC avoids the numbers result of the Radnor bi election it’s actually Remain 14500 brexit 15700. That’s if you add labour to the libs and the Brexit Party to the Tory vote .
So essentially – things remain tight but with all the adverse anti brexit project fear propaganda – the brexit vote remains strong .
This of course will count for nothing when the traitors do their thing in parliament .
Phillip Lee – a Remain Tory – willbecome a Liberal at the tactical time when parliament returns on 3 September .
Then it becomes a poker game about the the government falling ….
TOADY Watch #3 – Governor Carney, more gloom and what if
Questions, questions, questions asked by The Humph of Mark Carney, Governor Remainer of the Bank of England or Remainer Governor of the Bank of England and self-disgraced economist. You choose.
The big questions, the really big questions, not asked by The Humph: “Where would the UK economy be, where could it have been, had we got out of the EU in July 2018 or March 2019 or somewhere in between those dates?” and “Have we missed an opportunity?”
I know, and frankly care little about this case. It is fluff from America. The BBC cares deeply.
I am interested in the BBC’s reporting ‘angle’.
Given the outcome, why is the agony of a losing legal team the lead?
Is it a Christian thing?
Combining the latest pronouncements from Mark Carney and the EU, it is possible to create the following as a headline
‘ UK growth expected to outperform Eurozone in 2019’
Yet strangely, this factually correct angle does not seem to feature in the ‘news’ from our fine impartial state broadcaster.
Ok. So the EU is the best thing since sliced bread according to our treasured National Broadcaster. So, it follows that as we are constantly being told OUR own economy will suffer from leaving, that the EU economy is in tip top, fine fettle and booming, it must be, the BBC haven’y told us any different. And the EU is the holy grail of growth and prosperity.
Imagine my shock when you have a look at the REAL headlines , not the BBC one sided guff.
Here’s a few , just this week.
Bloomberg – French Economy Unexpectedly Cools in Setback for Euro Area
New York Times – European Economy Slows, Raising Expectations of E.C.B. Action
The eurozone economies grew 0.2 percent last quarter, and inflation remains far below the European Central Bank’s target.
Express – Germany blow: Merkel hit by economy headache as unemployment rates soar
Express – German economy on the brink as Merkel’s manufacturing sector slumps – ‘Signs of weakness’
ING – Eurozone growth slows to 0.2% as core inflation dips
So the EU isn’t land of milk and honey all the BBC and Remainers will have us believe !!! Yet its us Brexiteers who are stupid, thick, racist and didn’t know what we were voting for when wanting to leave this rat infested mafia on the brink of ruin. !!! They need us more than we need them …… shame Theresa couldn’t see that and let them walk all over this great country. Pathetic
But then again, i love my country so i am just a FAR RIGHT thug according the the BBC.
Doobs, that just goes to show how politicians, Central Bankers and the MSM (inc. national broadcasters) misunderstand and use and abuse inflation.
I hope our new Chancellor, Sajid Javid, revises both the BoEngland’s Inflation Parameters and stays well away from Indirect Taxation but I fear that he will not take either course, let alone both.
BBC Book of the Week on Radio 4
The Predictive Text facility of the BBC’s Apple PCs, laptops and iPads is getting them into trouble on air. I thought that Continuity had announced BotW on Monday as being Salt on your Tongue by Charlotte Rampling. I did ‘the Gromit paw in the ear’ thing and put it down to my mishearing.
Today, however, I’m not so sure. The final episode this morning has the author introduced as Charlotte Bronte! It was quite clear and unmistakeable. Time to send a memo around the BBC, Lord Hall. Instruct everyone at the BBC to switch Predictive Text OFF.

I think it’s worth reminding ourselves that Brexit in law has to go ahead on October 31st.
It can only be deferred if Boris applies to the EU for an extension.
The BBC fail to remind the nation of this fact.
I wish I was not computer illiterate . I try to get to “Leave A Reply”
by scrolling down from the top message from the “latest ” message.
But invariably it’s a response to somebody who has sent a
message two days before ! So it takes me half an hour to scroll down!!
Never mind I finally get there.
The BBC seem to be in an orgasmic state reporting the election
result. I am pretty good at maths and stats , but one doesn’t
need to be an Einstein to work out that unless the Conservatives
and Brexit parties come to some kind of accord,the Conservatives
WILL lose the next General Election!!
I don’t see the next GE being held until post-Brexit.
Even if Boris suffers a vote of no confidence, it will take far beyond October 31st to get things organised. Also, I think a recall of Parliament would be required for a vote of no confidence.
Once we’re out, the political landscape changes adversely for the Remainers.
Good points made by @LanceForman (Brexit Party MEP) on @Iromg @talkRADIO
#1 The Conservatives might have held Brecon if they had agreed to work with the Brexit Party.
If they can’t agree a pact, we need a way to unite brexiteers like the @BrexitKite project.
#2 Remoaners shout “No Deal tariffs will kill my business”
Well in the last 10 years currency has varied by 75% and your business coped with that.

Although UKIP/For Britain are my preferred options this seems sensible.
@BrexitKite
BrexitKiteMark was created so activists and voters can unite behind the most credible brexiteer in each constituency. Many will be Brexit Party candidates.
According to brexitcentral’s email yesterday (by Jonathan Isaby) this is who we have running the show (allegedly) at the moment:
Including Theresa May, a total of 31 MPs left the Government (voluntarily or not, as the case may be). No longer sitting around the Cabinet table are: Karen Bradley, James Brokenshire, Greg Clark, Liam Fox, David Gauke, Chris Grayling, Philip Hammond, Damian Hinds, Jeremy Hunt, David Lidington, Theresa May, Penny Mordaunt, David Mundell, Caroline Nokes, Claire Perry, Rory Stewart, Mel Stride and Jeremy Wright.
And the MPs departing the junior ranks of the Government were: Harriett Baldwin, Jackie Doyle-Price, Sir Alan Duncan, Tobias Ellwood, Mark Field, Robert Goodwill, Stephen Hammond, George Hollingbery, Margot James, Andrew Jones, Anne Milton, John Penrose and Craig Whittaker.
Those 31 comprise 28 MPs who voted Remain in 2016 and just three who campaigned for Leave (Fox, Grayling and Mordaunt).
Conversely, of the 31 MPs who have just joined the Government, the following 19 were Brexiteers in 2016: Nigel Adams, Kemi Badenoch, Conor Burns, Simon Clarke, Leo Docherty, Nadine Dorries, James Duddridge, George Eustice, Zac Goldsmith, Chris Heaton-Harris, Boris Johnson, Andrea Leadsom, Esther McVey, Priti Patel, Tom Pursglove, Dominic Raab, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Theresa Villiers.
And the following twelve voted Remain: Colin Clark, George Freeman, Luke Hall, Simon Hart, Nigel Huddleston, Jo Johnson, Marcus Jones, Johnny Mercer, Nicky Morgan, James Morris, Grant Shapps and Gavin Williamson.
I [i.e. Isaby] therefore calculate that the MPs in the administration comprise:
40 Leavers in 2016
53 Remainers
1 Undeclared (Jesse Norman)
From the above list it is evident that the ‘Brexiteer Government’ is really predominantly ‘Remain’.
Overall, over 70% of Tory MPs are Remainers.
About 60% of the cabinet are Remainers.
