This week two BBC TV current affairs presenters have been found to be overtly biased by their own corrupt organisation . Naga manchetty falsely accused President trump of being a racist . Emily Maitliss was found to have ‘bullied’ an interviewee on Newsnight .
It remains to be seen whether this will have any effect on these biased women and whether BBC discipline procedures are of any value at all. To add even more heat – plenty of non white lefty journalists are ganging up on the BBC complaints department
Brexit is becoming even more heated and I’d like to thank everyone contributing to this site for the restraint they are showing as we watch the country being turned into a dictatorship .
And a happy new year to all our Jewish friends on here.

The way libmob seem able to get maximum PR out of incidents which then vanish into the slow fog of a legal system
Will the guy knocking on Jess Phillips closed office windows, end up charged ?
In the Owen Jones incident after 10 weeks there are still no charges,
but yesterday he tweeted
“Quick update: three men have been arrested,
the police have two lots of CCTV of the attack,
and I’m waiting on the @cpsuk regarding charges.
I hope they don’t take too long,
because FAR RIGHT conspiracy theories (“he made it all up”)
have increased threats of violence and death*.”

StewGreen,
“Will the guy knocking on Jess Phillips closed office windows, end up charged ?”
Yes he’s been charged with a section 5 public order offence. Which is a bit more serious than just “knocking on windows”.
“In the Owen Jones incident after 10 weeks there are still no charges,”
It wasn’t an “incident” it was an attack and it happened 6 weeks ago, not 10. Before the arrests you described it as “fishy as heck”.
Why do you do this, Stew?
Do you remember when a plot to murder Rosie Cooper was uncovered (for which Jack Renshaw was jailed for 8 years)? You similarly dismissed that as “fishy” and joked; “she might well die of natural causes before the plotters succeeded.”
Why do you do this Stew?
Do you remember when someone drove their car into a crowd of protestors in Charlottesville (for which James Alex Fields was jailed for life)?
Oh, what a surprise, you described it as “fishy” and suggested it; “could be like his foot slipped on the accelerator”
Why do you do this Stew?
What do the alleged attackers of Owen Jones, Jack Renshaw and James Alex Fields have in common I wonder; apart from you leaping to their defence?

Ah Maxi is there trying to score small points
“he’s been charged with a section 5 public order offence”
.. which is way less than the breaking and entering that it was made out to be
“uses threatening [or abusive] words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour,”
“It is punishable with a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale[5] (£1,000 as of 2015).”
15 people/day are prosecuted , about a third get off
Maxi It is quite common for hyped news stories not to live up to their hyperbolic initial reporting so it is entirely reasonable to think things are fishy, when media reporting dries up
“*dismiss* as fishy” that’s a strawman
I do not *dismiss*, I merely point out when something seems fishy
I am always entirely open to proper evidence emerging.
Of course you can just choose to highlight the cases when someone does end up charged and ignore those that just fade into the media background.
We are still waiting for the Owen Jones guys to be charged.
Jones was attacked on the night of the 16th of August so, that is just short of 8 weeks ago

Furthermore Maxi like the BBC has a habit of giving us half the story
So that people walk away with an impression that the BBC narrative is true
here Maxi tries to constructive a narrative
It is outrageous to say I “simply dismiss” things, I don’t
Furthermore to support his false premise Maxi gives cherrypicked short quotes when he could easily give fuller context that show the quotes don’t actually support his premise.
eg I certainly did not joke about a plot against Rosie Cooper
I merely analysed an early newspaper report where the plot did not seem what it was made out to be .
Yes subsequently he was convicted for plotting .

I’ve been reflecting on the overall scheme of things and I am getting more encouraged.
We have been subjected to the most intensive brainwashing in history by a coalition of the BBC, Channel 4, The Guardian, The Independent, Almost all the USA media, the UN, the EU, the Climate bandwagon of self elected pompous fools and of course the Democrats in the USA, all trying to ram their rabid version of state control, socialism or even communism (with them at the helm) down our throats for at least the past 4 years. They have distorted news, fabricated scare stories, used racism, sexism, genderism even children as weapons and much more.
And the result?
In my opinion they have failed miserably and got the exact reverse of what they wanted, witness the rise of Trump and his blue-collar supporters, the miserable state of the Labour and Lib Dem parties, the rising popularity of Johnson, the inevitable progress to Brexit, the near desperate devious plots of the left in politics.
It seems like all they have tried to do has worked against them and I for one am overjoyed.
They are suffering at the hands of those they despised and belittled despite the fact that these same people produce the wealth they so greedily grab with inflated salaries etc.
Yes the average Joe has wised up and a very quiet and dignified revolution is taking place. Long may it continue.

FedUp2: “It does show the resilience of ‘ordinary joe ‘ once the mind is made up . All that noise and propaganda counts for little.”
I would agree if their mind is made up about what is right and what is wrong. As I mentioned before, I have heard plenty of people who voted Remain stating that, knowing what they know now, they would vote Leave.
However, I’ve never heard anyone who voted to Leave state that they would now vote Remain.
The constant lies and propaganda just makes people more determined not to be shafted by the Remainer establishment.

taffman, and a lot of all the people, the ones on the losing side in the EU Referendum, are very decent people, very sharp, very aware people, and they value the UK’s democracy above everything else and are keen to respect the result of the Referendum even though they voted Remain.*
*Source: Lance Forman MEP London (which ‘some’ like to remind us voted overwhelmingly to Remain in the EU.) Think he suggested on TWatO this lunchtime that the proportion of the 48% wanting to support the EU Ref result was over half – either that or 25% of the London Remain voters now want to support leaving the EU. Or somewhere between those two extremes. The former would tie up with what Prof. Curtice has been suggesting on R4 recently.

Digg,
The “average Joe” has progressively been emasculated in every respect and that’s been happening for well > 4 years. From what I can gather, the gathering demise of the ‘West’ started in the 60’s just after use of the familiar expression, “Red’s under the bed” lost common currency. Those that believe firmly in communism went underground and plotted, and plotted. Secretly at first infiltrating every important organisation or, setting up an organisation to pursue their aims where there was none. So-called, ‘Charities’. In the early days, came the likes of ‘Stonewall’ bent on the Marxist principle of destroying the family by subverting all the values of the public that had been held sacrosanct for previous decades if not centuries. That’s now flourished and blossomed into the nonsense of gender and other Marxist supporters have taken the principle on to further aka our State Broadcaster. And so, we arrive at 2019. It appears that the ‘people’ are becoming more confused with the barrage of information that few understand. They aren’t angry enough – yet – but that must change if there was someone or something to really rally around. Dare I suggest, a ‘Trump’ like character.

G yes a lot of truth in what you write. My observations are that around 1970 it started to change, I guess that was when “woke” was an embryo.
It seems to me that the majority of citizens born after that time see only bad stuff, even though they have been the most feather-bedded and entitled generation in history.
Maybe that’s it! If you have never experienced for instance: power cuts, strikes, 3 day weeks, industrial action, picketing and even war and your life is stuffed full of goodies your appreciation and tolerance is reduced to zero.
Hence the Brexit reaction, I think they are all scared stiff of the approach of something they don’t understand and have never known. Self-reliance and Self determination!

there does seem a gradual slide into citizen dependency that just didn’t existing decades ago. Victims now abound individually and in large groups suffering from mainly self inflicted or non existing situations. Self help, as a concept, has all but been demonised as are those who expound such virtue.
For example, child obesity up to age 10-11 is 22% for boys and 18% for girls with both groups @ 14% overweight in addition.

Call me old fashioned, but I think it reflects a lack of respect for authority resulting from a lack of discipline. It was the left who started with all this nonsense about not smacking your kids and using the softly softly approach.
When I was young I wouldn’t have dared speak to my father in the way that the kids do nowadays, or a copper. I’d have got a clip round the ear. Discipline tought me respect and was a deterrent to getting mixed up with the wrong crowd.
I honestly believe that when all this nonsense began, we should have told the left to go and do one and not tolerated it. The PC brigade ought to have been laughed out of town, but thanks to the likes of the biased BBC trumpeting their “causes”, society has gradually allowed the idiot minority causes too much of a voice. Now they have become emboldened. We gave them an inch and they took the whole yardstick and bashed us over the head with it!
The kids of today are, metaphorically, wrapped in cotton wool and spoilt rotten.

I do hope you are right in your assessment and that you are not being over optimistic in how ordinary folks like us see the situation. I think that we on this site fully understand that the establishment is anti democratic and will stop at nothing to get their way and protect their privileged position and power. This is my fear , the elite will either continue to ignore the democratic outcomes which they don’t like , or , more likely, gerrymander any votes, elections , referenda . They will use the MSM as a mass propaganda organ. I know we all think that is what the BBC has been doing for decades but I fear that we ain’t seen nothing yet. The courts , police and intelligence services will be deployed to investigate and imprison dissenters and particularly their leaders. The education system will continue to brainwash young folks into supporting globalism. Getting rid of the establishment by democratic means within the next decades or so , has, in my opinion , only a 50% chance of success. We may well be saddled with them for many years to come whether the majority likes it or not.

Or will the UK side say you have to park up for a few months ‘cos we’re not letting you in.

In the US Fox has been tacking to a less supportive position of the President for some time. But today the ex leader of the Republican senate, Paul Ryan is calling on them to break entirely with President Trump and join the hyenas in the rest of the MSM . Couple this with the purchase of the Express by the Mirror group last year and with the replacement of Paul Dacre as editor of the Daily Mail with a rabid Remainer , a pattern begins to emerge. The MSM which has been 90% plus pro Globalist for years is now moving to extinguish even the glimmer of any pluralism , stamp out any source of news and comment other than that approved by the Globalist elite. We can add to this the continued censorship of any right of centre internet sites and we can see that they are determined to achieve total control of the news agenda worldwide. It is scary stuff.

It appears that the BBC are banking on Bargain Hunt to save their bacon from falling viewing figures. Pulling in two ageing rock bands as contestants.
I am struggling to work out the logic of this as Bargain Hunt is by it’s nature likely to be viewed mainly by quite old folk.
I am imagining the scenario……
Producer: “Hey we are losing viewers – the young are not watching BBC any more, we have to do something”
Assistant: “Maybe it’s because the young are not interested in old Tat sir?”
Producer: “What would pull them in then?”
Assistant: “Oh drugs, computer games, music and stuff…”
Producer: “Well we can only manage the music thing, lets get some stars in as contestants”
Assistant: “We couldn’t afford it sir, they cost zillions and we just had to pay Gary Lineker his salary!”
Producer: “Well lets get some cheap old ones then! Then we will be able to interview them on the News afterwards to show how wake we are”
Assistant: “Thats woke sir”
Producer: “Whatever!”
Assistant: “Now you are getting it, well done!”

I think I need to post another Non BBC Brexit post so people know what is going on with parliament.
There are three possible options at the moment
Leave without a deal
Leave with a deal
Remain
With the surrender bill we theoretically cannot leave without a deal without the PM asking for yet another interminable delay to Brexit.
In theory we know that the PM could possibly get the EU to give a better deal to the UK, he would at that point thanks to Gina Millar have to bring this back to parliament for their approval.
The Labour Party / SNP / Tory Rebels have all said they intend to vote against any deal, even if it is they themselves who have negotiated it, making leaving with a deal an impossibility. Leaving without a deal is also impossible unless the EU completely loses patience with the lunatic games remainers are playing.
This is a catch 22 where the UK can’t leave without a deal, and can’t leave with a deal because it would never be approved.

Farewell . You’ll be missed even for calling me an idiot and a bigot . The point I make is this .

“I thought we were fighting for democracy?”
A noble aim but not the purpose of this site which is about the bias of the BBC.
For once the BBC has picked up two of its own for displaying bias, that they are women and that one is ‘of colour’ is of no consequence, unless you are suggesting that the BBC is misogynist and racist?
The BBC has form for only reporting part of some peoples’ words and can be surprising pedantic when reporting some peoples’ names.
I quite enjoyed our tireless moderator’s little joke, which I am quite sure wasn’t driven by any ‘bigotry, but rather to insert a little bit of levity into these weird times.

I’ll admit – there have been some aspects of TRs past which I don’t like . But the mass media Remainer Broadcasting corpse continued editorial referencing to “ Yaxley Lennon “ wasn’t there to inform the public – it was there to cause his whole view to be treated with suspicion from the outset – to prejudice a view of him .
So when I write out the full name of a proven biased employee of the state broadcaster – i am racist bigoted and an idiot white supremist. So easy for people to see what they want to see isn’t it ?
I thought about it and can’t under stand why the SPC decided to cease contribution to this website because of me . But he has gone so we ll never know . I’m only one of the moderators.- last week I was thinking about chucking it in .
I’m really glad I didn’t because places like this and our sister site “isthebbcbiased” has got to record what’s going on if nothing else .
Differently – I am really concerned that the prospect of some kind of Corbyn led government is being floated to get a reaction . Now that really would be a very British coup.
I’m entitled to my own view and expression as long as it doesn’t put me on the naughty step .

Pervy police
A report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary has revealed that police officers are preying on victims and vulnerable people for sex in a “fundamental betrayal” of their public service.
Zoe Billingham said 415 allegations of officers “abusing their position for a sexual purpose”
had been received in three years, but the true extent of abuse is not known.
The number of reported cases has been rising since 2016, but the watchdog said police forces are not doing enough to detect and root out the behaviour by their own officers and staff

TWatO Watch #1 and only – sorry bit late, had things to do
Mark Mardell was in the Beeb seat but not in charge. Matt Hancock (Con) Sec. of State for Health (loser in leadership contest and ‘some would say’, heretofore, just plain loser) was the Sacrificial Goat (as it is Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur will be along on 8/9th October) put up for a battering by Mardell.
Something h-hhas h happened to h hHancock.
He was robust. He was tough. Mardell couldn’t bully him into conceding to BBC/Socialist rage and into apologising for a very correct definition of the Benn Bill as a Surrender Bill. He could not drag a soundbite out of Hancock that the PM had lied to the Queen or would ignore the law.
Mark Mardell went down, no scores, with h h hHancock h h hhitting the back of the net three times. Mardell 0 : 3 Hancock.
I don’t know what has happened. Maybe at long last someone in Central Office has arranged some coaching in how to handle the BBC and other hostile media types. Perhaps it is a Cummings Effect with Dominic inducing some steel and some interview skills into the people who have to be available for interview. Whatever. It appears to be working well. Long may it continue.
Before that match Mardell had with Hancock, he had gone down 0 : 2 to a MEP, Lance Forman, from The Brexit Party. Oh dear! Twice in one programme.

It’s unusual to thank the Guardian but here is a quote from an article
‘Labour is expected to accuse Mr Johnson of proroguing parliament for the longest period since 1918 simply to avoid the embarrassing findings being published’.
The thing is, I made a slight alteration. The article is not from 2019 but from 1997 and the accused was not Mr Johnson, it was Mr Major!!!
So the article actually reads
‘Labour is expected to accuse Mr Major of proroguing parliament for the longest period since 1918 simply to avoid the embarrassing findings being published’.
I think readers will agree that as hypocrites go, this puts Remoaner Major right at the top of the pile. Something which the BBC mysteriously seems not to have noticed.

Karl Turner on local Hull news
I’m guessing that if the BBC hadn’t been called out for Subtitlegate they would have run the full Karl Turner video.
I wasn’t expecting them to do any criticism
.. They didn’t, but they took care not to fawn.. They chose to just air a quick clip and not give him a soft interview
They completely avoided his controversial ‘ you should be dead in a ditch’ line
instead the beeboid said “You don’t think you were unnecessarily aggressive ?”
They gave him a lot of rope
Beeboid “Was the filming a stitch u[p, how come you were being filmed ?”
KT “I have been filmed with a camera following me for the last two weeks by a freelance film maker making a documentary”
Then after a few seconds …”I’d no idea I was being filmed at the time when I spoke to Dominic Cummings, the filmmaker had whipped out his iPhone when he saw Dominic Cummings”.
(Look North viewers on Twitter didn’t believe that
that KT saw Cummings , decided to do a stunt
but was surprised that a film-maker who was following him around , filmed it.)
Quite a few tweeters and commenters at the end of the show called out Turner for being aggressive in the BBC interview

Turner has tweeted a slightly unbelievable explanation of his “should be dead in a ditch line”
“Let me clarify yesterday’s exchange with Dominic Cummings
. The suggestion that I threatened him is an utter lie.
I want to clarify exactly what I said
— it’s very very dreadful when people are threatening you. Dead I’m threatened , dead, should be in a ditch. Dead –”
BTW he writes “I rebuke”
I guess he means “I refute”

Nice comparison in the Mail between Greta Thumberg and Shamima Begun.
Both were/ are about the same age when their fame/notoriety hit the media.
One is classed as a person with strong beliefs wanting to take the world in a particular direction.
The other is classed as a vulnerable child who has been indoctrinated and brainwashed into taking actions which condemn Western society.
The question of course is…..which is which ?
You can be sure the BBC and their Far Left friends will demonstrate a certain….ahem…..inconsistency of approach.

Just watching a bit of a BBC 4 programme about Joan Armatrading.
It’s one of these revisionist retrospectives that to my mind fall flat not least when some of us who were there actually remember it and so see the BBC agenda-driven invented guff for what it is.
They seem to be playing the race card and blaming racism for her difficulties of breaking through. I do not remember a single comment contemporarily about her colour.
It was much simpler than that. Her music was just not very….well, musical.
She self-compares with Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. Well, I could compare my writing with Shakespeare but it wouldn’t make it any better.
The BBC history re-writing just doesn’t work on we oldies.

Sluff, I didn’t watch the programme but I agree with your comments. I remember John Peel championed her for about four years without persuading people like me that she was anything other than boring. She didn’t become popular until she released “Love & Affection”, the only song of hers I think that might be considered great. But I and many people I knew in the 70s and 80s did come to like her and thought she had an attractive personality, good musicianship and some interesting songs (I particularly liked a song called “I Love it When You Call Me Names”) without ever thinking she was in the front rank of artists. My memory is the same as yours: her skin colour was never a factor in our assessment of her musical standing. My criticism of her music would be that her songs felt superficial and anodyne. Generalised rather than particularised emotion. I felt she didn’t put enough of herself into her songs; there was always a reticence in her as an artist, a distance between the characters she preferred to sing about and the person you saw performing the song. You never felt you were getting to know the real Joan Armatrading.

The best singer/songwriters aren’t necessarily the most popular. That might be because true ‘pop’ is very superficial and ‘of the moment’ or because some people get more exposure for various reasons.
Has anyone heard of The Rolling Stones? The BBC hasn’t, for them ‘pop’ began in 1962 with some defunct group from Liverpool who were plugged by the BBC for decades. But why them? Who knows?
Joan Armatrading can hold her own with all the other singer/songwriters of her era. She might not be to everyone’s taste, but who is? (I never saw what was good about that Liverpool group, for instance).
My particular memory of Joan Armatrading was her response to the question as to whether she had ever suffered from racialism. She said that she hadn’t, but she had met people that didn’t like her. That struck me as a very positive attitude that the likes of Lammy and Henry would have done well to follow.

I recall a radio interview on the BBC with Joan Armatrading, it was many years ago, maybe 20 or even more. The interviewer asked her about the difficulties she had overcome in achieving success despite experiencing both sexism and racism. To which she replied that she had never encountered racism, much to the chagrin of the BBC bot. Kudos to her for maintaining her position and shame on the BBC for its revisionism.

We can all have a view as to whether we like Joan’s music. I did in fact see her live. I admire her writing but query her musicality. However as I say, we can all have a view.
The key biased BBC issue for me is that as an acne- faced student in the 70s I do not remember any racist-related commentaries on music performers at all. We liked what we liked and the colour of the performer was such a non-issue it never even raised a comment. There was a compilation as far back as ‘73 actually called ‘Black Music’. I still have it. We celebrated the music of the OJays, Intruders, Harold Melvin, Isley Brothers, Barry White, on that album alone. I could quote dozens of other tracks,
For the BBC to frame the music of the time in a racist context is a total travesty of the truth.
PS there is a current commercial with the Platters singing ‘Only You’ from 1955. Is it racist to say Tony Williams was a brilliant singer?
