The final week of the General Election campaign . Have you had enough Far Left BBC bias? The BBC is throwing the whole range of propaganda to favour Labour against the Conservative/Brexit candidates .
The end of the week will see how persuasive the BBC/MSM still is after so much poison .

Most BBC attack lines with those who don not bow to bbc orthodoxy end up making play of what is refused to be admitted.
http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2019/12/source-says.html
This is the same bbc whose DG almost never speaks to anyone but BBC sycophants or through subordinates, often themselves anonymously.
That they self protect by exemptions and uniques whilst attacking others not held to account as they would be is an hypocrisy too far.

The clip encapsulates everything wrong with British politics and BBC political broadcast debate.
Any opinion to the right, or not ‘woke’, is immediately and ‘en mass’ challenged by ‘triggered Meerkats’. Any attempt to reply or respond to the aggression is closed and shouted down to prevent space for adequate explanation. Should this fail, the bias audience is ready like a ‘baying mob’ to boo and hiss while the Compere, in this case Emma Barnett, smugly looks on, complicit.
It’s an absolute disgrace. It’s bias. It’s disrespectful, intellectually base and tells us nothing.
If panel members are not given the opportunity to puts their points fairly for us all to judge then we have a circus not a debate.
Compare the current QT with the clip below (1970’s) and one can see how far the BBC and our nation has fallen. The debate and passions are exactly the same, yet respect, decorum and intelligence have all been lost.
How the BBC get away with this is beyond me. The licence fee needs to be scrapped. We should not pay for this.
BBC’s turn-off Today show has given a platform to the prostitute consorting, anti free Press campaigner Hugh Grant to campaign against the Tories.
I wonder when Today will give a similar free platform to any of the following: John le Carré, Joanna Lumley, Simon Callow, Sathnam Sanghera, Tom Holland, Frederick Forsyth, Tony Parsons, Maajid Nawaz, Nick Hewer.
They happen to be just a few of the celebs who signed a letter stating that Labour’s anti semitism, and the “prospect of of a prime minister steeped in association with antisemitism” meant they could not endorse a Labour vote.
I’m sure Today’s producers would find that one of them could be available to pop in for a little chat about the threat that Corbyn poses to our Jewish community.
Not too hard to provide some editorial balance, is it?
Steer clear of Le Carré: John Le Carré: “Brexit is the biggest idiocy perpetrated by the United Kingdom.”
The New York Times has appointed Jane Bradley as UK investigative correspondent. Jane will join the newspaper in its London office from January. She was previously investigations correspondent for BuzzFeed.
***
The now CEO of the NYT was quite keen on Buzzfeed ‘investigations’ by Buzzfeed when DG of the bbc, iirc.
Laura Kuenssberg:
‘General election 2019: Boris Johnson’s bad day shows election not over’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50722167
That is not news. That is her opinion and it has no place on our media. Clearly she is just trying to twist things as a last ditch attempt to undermine the Tories out of desperation.
Do you want some good news for the Tories, Laura? At 12am in the morning Survation released a poll giving the Tories a 14 point lead. In 2017 their final opinion poll had the Tories just two points ahead. They were then credited for ‘predicting the result’
Is that a really bad day after all?
Finally caught up with the ‘boy on a floor in the hospital’ video. IT was nothing but an attack against the Tories. It shoots to a scene with Corbyn at another rally (free publicity for Labour again) holding the paper up and then angry protesters, Labour activists shouting at a car.
This is NOT balance but extreme bias to help Labour out.
I know everyone else has mentioned this as well but it is clear that this is a last ditch attempt to get Labour elected. Had Corbyn not rushed out his now debunked ‘NHS is for sell lie’ a few weeks ago he could have used that this week to cause enormous damage to the Tories.
I really do hope that Boris does win now and gets rid of that license fee. The BBC are a disgrace but all of this bias will push us towards a hung parliament and any attempt to sort out the BBC will be unsuccessful.
I have no respect for the BBC whatsoever. This is just wrong the way that they are spinning the story and of course pandering to the Mirror who are clearly trying to damage the Tories as much as possible.
Why will the BBC not look at those right wing papers like the Sun? The Telegraph or the Mail?
Election fraud by Labour activists.
Russian leaks
Antisemitism and that Jews would flee the UK if Corbyn wins?
No there is nothing on that at all.
Come on, lets go out there and vote for Boris and help defeat the BBC for once and for all!
Smoogie7
What genuine caring parent would dump their child on the floor , when you can hold them in your arms , this is totally unbelievable , definitely a set up, mother should be charged with child neglect and BBC keep running it . Strange how Jezza was on the case immediately. Been for an operation myself in the last year and couldn’t fault the care recieved ….they were really busy but nobody died from neglect in my ward !
My mother was in hospital a couple of months ago for day surgery. She actually got a call to come in a couple of weeks early. She had no complaints and it was the first time that she had been in hospital for 10 years. The service was no different than it was before.

With the BBC and SlyNews not to mention Ch4s obvious bias for St Jeremy and Labour, are they really saying ‘oh well, who cares about anti semetism, the jews will get over it’?
What antisemitism? The MSM have now completely gone quiet on the subject.
Labour are being investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and there is not even one mention of that anywhere from the BBC!
VD does balance.
Mean boys. Again.
I’ve listened to the Audio. It’s not banter . It’s a realistic appraisal of the situation by a labourite on the inside .
Thank god for the web and the likes of guido because the BBC would suppress anything harmful to Corbyn this week .
The ga ga Toynbee in the G today reflects that BoJo will take revenge on enemies . Let’s hope so – if he gets a fair majority and the traitors have been caste to the depths .
I think there’ll be a series of picture showing nurse ( saints ) crying in despair at the door of a food bank … or something else to tug the heart strings of the gullible .
Anyone heard from the chief of the hospital where the kid was allowed to be on the floor ?
That’s excruciating! My toes are curling. His excuses ares so unconvincing. “We’re mates. It’s just banter. I’m winding him up.” No! You’re telling your mate (ex mate) exactly what the electorate think of of Compo. We all know this. Stop the pathetic squirming. You’re supposed to be a grown up.
Ye gods and this twerp wants to be in government.
Beam me up Scottie.
BBC QT with Emma shaking her head at what is left of the bbc plan to get Jez in.
https://twitter.com/optosean/status/1204225734107181057?s=21
Another BBC impartial audience of……..Jezza supporting children who have been promised free sweeties.
They never seem to do a QT featuring the over 50s in, say. Beaconsfield, do they?
Funny, that.
Jesus H Christ, this is the reason I don’t watch the BBC any more.
Not just that hideous harridan, but the ghastly, whooping, middle class virtue signalling audience.
You never meet these people in real life. They seem to exist in some BBC bubble. They bring them out to infest the airwaves with their screeching abuse for anyone like Nigel and squealing and cacophonous applause for this horrible creature.
What’s wrong with them?
The BBC these days is nothing more than audio Guardian. From top to bottom it’s infested with ultra left wing intolerance.
No one buys The Guardian.
And no one should pay for The BBC…
Not only do I wonder at the intelligence of Police forces around the globe, I wonder at the intelligence of BBC Producers and Editors.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/watch/bp-christmas-trees
In reality, most people who buy natural Christmas trees only ‘rent’ them. Very few try to plant their tree afterward and some of those attempts will fail. In the usual course of things, the tree gets taken away by the local authority dust cart in a special collection.
Are the people responsible for this item thinking at all about what they are pushing at the public?
No. Don’t bother. I know the answer to that already.
Huge Grant ranting on R2 11.00 news ……are they really golng keep repeating his infantile drivel all day ….non biased BBC of course they are
Anyone watch qt last night.
What did you think of Angela Rayner’s debating skills which consisted of asking (usually Farage) a question and then continuously repeating it, almost shouting it at the other person who is drowned out by her whilst trying to answer.
A sort of automaton fishwife.
She must really like the sound of her own voice.
As usual, only Nigel talking sense. The Tory Jenrick (?) was ineffective, the green mainly in fantasy land, plaid was a waste of space, snp was a nasty little piece of work and Joe Swinson was what we have come to expect.
Surprisingly there were some leavers in the audience although still lefty dominated. Many whoops and cheers for labour as their catchphrases were trotted out.
Barnett asked a couple of good questions but didn’t follow up on the non answers and she lost control a few times when they were talking over each other (mainly Rayner)
You can’t help but feel a bit sorry for Nigel stuck amongst these mental pygmies.
They were all complaining about not enough housing but when Nigel mentioned 8 million extra arriving since Blair none of them could see any connection with the shortage of housing.
I reckon it needs 200,000 more homes every year just to house the arrivals, just to stand still.
The snp bloke tried to call Nigel out for saying it was immigrants to blame when he was late for some show or other. Too much traffic. However, he had no reply when Nigel asked if he thought 8 million extra people would affect the traffic numbers.
All in all, it’s what we expected.
“She must really like the sound of her own voice.”
There are quite a few of those about. The Marr school.
“he had no reply when Nigel asked if he thought 8 million extra people would affect the traffic numbers”
Nice one.
From the BBC newsletter that is the Guardian by Polly Toynbee:
‘Be very afraid. Boris Johnson will take revenge on all who stood up to him’
‘He’s targeted the BBC and Channel 4, and the Tory manifesto has plans for a constitutional upheaval and an attack on human rights’
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/10/boris-johnson-revenge-bbc-channel-4-manifesto
While Human Rights would be fine who can blame him for attacking the MSM? Is that a bad thing, Polly?
Yes I hope that if Johnson wins they are terrified. That is how we feel at the moment. Their bias is forcing us towards Labour and that is terrifying enough. Have some of that, BBC!
I find it staggering that even educated people like Toynbee can’t make the distinction between the person and the parliament.
Most people don’t even have Johnson on their ballot paper.
‘Will take revenge’ my foot.
Easy enough mistake NG, to assume poor old Pol Potty is intelligent, but she has traded on being Arnold Toynbee’s grand-daughter for most of her ‘working’ life.
Described as a historian of note, Arnold wrote several books ‘Mankind’ being one of the better known ones, though close links to the London School of Economics and the subsequent association with the likes of Hobsbawm and Milliband would tend to weaken the claim.
“Their bias is forcing us towards Labour ”
Because there are only two boxes on your ballot paper?
Well it is a two horse race. The BBC know that which is why they are themselves forced to support Labour rather than extreme revoke Lib Dems.
If the Lib Dems stood a chance watch Swinson walk the red carpet!
The BBC with Laura Kuenssberg fronting TV, is now going
into full overdrive to get the COMMUNIST elected.
Because nearly everybody at the BBC are remainers
and most of the political presenters are liberal bigots,
its the Machiavellian approach that the enemy of
my enemy is my friend. Of course there is still a
plethora of political staff at the BBC who are as far to left
as Corbyn ,if not further ,such as Andrew Marr.
Laura Kuenssberg is trying to help Theresa May and Michael Gove to get elected ? Wow that is a surprise, I’d always thought she supported the Fascist Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn !
If anyone wants to listen to a discussion on the “telly tax” go to the listen again page on Talk Radio, Mike Graham’s show, 10th December, between 11.00 and 11.30.
Many years ago I worked at a dry cleaners. One jacket I had to put through my steam press had a marxist / communist emblem pinned to the underside of a lapel, hidden in everyday use. Whether it was a red flag or a hammer and sickle I cannot remember at this distance in time, but it left me in no doubt where the true loyalties of its owner lay and a symbol of the mindset derived from the ideology.
Funny this; I notice that a red flag is newly flown nearby.
I hope the electorate get what’s coming to them.
State Broadcaster the enabler.
Vote for free stuff.
Just counting up my election post bag:
LibDem 17
Conservative 3
Brexit 1
Labour 1
Same here.
No Brexit (not standing).
Several Greens (ironically) that say precisely nothing.
Emma Barnett on R5 this lunchtime will be revisiting the UN Special Rapporteur’s report earlier in the year on UK poverty. (Official verdict: ‘systematic’ and ‘tragic’). I think today is the 6 and 2/3 month anniversary so the timing makes sense.
I’ll wait to hear on BBC radio from the UN Special Rapporteur on immigration and border security. I’ve stocked up with mince pies for the long haul
I was listening as that item started on her program. She introduced it by listing all the negative views of the UK’s treatment of its people because of Tory policies. Eventually she quickly said that the report had been widely disparaged before introducing one of the people who complied it in order to discuss the report. The fact that it hasd been discredited didnt stop the BBC.
I turned off.
Later LBC opened up a discussion on the child photographed on the floor with a long disparaging intro from Shelia Fogerty about evil Tories. For balance, she brought in a writer from the left wing New Statesman to help us all understand how dreadful the conservatives are . It was relentless, with her blaming the right for fake news.
Did they mention the New Statesman’s fake news which destroyed the career of a conservative, Roger Scrutton? Did they mention how the New Statesman initially misled and then took a week to remedy the deceit? Nope. All Tory bashing.
BBC Election update. What IF the BBC get (EVER) elected along with the (anti-democratic) Lib-Dems? What would our country look like? The BBC is integral in all this PC brainwashing. Not satisfied with queering all UK primary school children next year (imposed by Stonewall and the DfE), it wants, full and total control over everything -not just SCHOOLS. Even in private you can get arrested for thought crimes by the Met for ‘thinking’ that (so called) diversity is an abhorrent ‘one-way street’ of public funded benefits where nobody benefits and is a severe health risk in STI and HIV and Gender changers. Thanks to the BBC liberals and Marxists. The UK Tops the Charts and is the TOP in Europe for Tuberculosis and what is high risk gender changers (where you get to keep your tackle) and take drugs all your short life in misery. Maybe thats why we need the NHS so badly, the BBC thinks we are all vermin and its all we deserve. i.e. third rank, third class, third world diseases presented by glossy lip-sticked femens groomed that Saville was totally misunderstood (as he abused both young Girls and Boys). Pedophiles are OK in the BBC (if we go by the Police arrest figures). But in a new move by the ‘union’ we should let them all out. They even have their own Election Manifesto on making all sex crimes ‘historic’ (by abolishing gender). No rape, no sex-crimes, no paedos, no femininity just masculine ‘take’ on equal rights (to the chosen few) at huge (crippling) public expense where nobody lives long enough to complain
George Orwell(could have written this):
If you loose your identity, you become nobody, a refuge a genderless ‘thing’, lost and vulnerable to others. Sex is something ‘done-to-you’ as a slave or BBC Jimmy Saville service (sex is what you were born with). All natural aspiration of family gone if you have no sex or gender. All hopes and aspirations gone and replaced with BBC Eunuchs and civil-service serfdom. Femininity banned along with Masculinity. In a world of No natural order, the basics of Marxism are established. The types behind BBC will have won, and to protest is a ‘hate-crime’.
The BBC are behind this campaign. As nothing about it is ‘independent’, nothing is thought through, nothing is ‘discussed’, nothing is ever costed, and as for health benefits, forget it. The NHS will be crippled as new diseases become the new ‘norm’ in childcare as abuses go unreported.
Then BBC are 100% behind this campaign. Staff cannot express that it might be wrong to target children. But as of next year, they are in schools all over the UK and now even Colleges and University staff can be ‘removed’ for any conscientious objections (that they had in the last war). This is today’s breaking news…. Right to ban ‘conservative’ (small c) values and ban gender or equate gender to ‘sex” (which cannot be changed) as its DNA.
This morning (19th December) yet another story has broken demonstrating the risk that Stonewall poses to freedom in the UK. A group of 20 professors, researchers and lecturers have signed a letter, criticising Stonewall for providing universities with a template telling them how to handle transgender issues. According to these academics the Stonewall template does not allow for dissenting views or criticism from those who think differently. The academics also claim that criticising Stonewall’s policies opens them up to harassment from students. This is a deeply disturbing development – universities must be places where freedom of thought and expression is allowed, they must encourage free speech and debate, not close it down! If Stonewall has their way, the UK is going to resemble a former communist state where only one state-sanctioned view is allowed to be expressed.

Snuffy’s moment in the sun – on a day when sparrows cannot fly in a straight line except with the wind behind – and a chance to use the phrase: ‘Comments could be going better.’ ( CCBGB )
As a PS to the above, I would add the observation that I still do not recognise the posting names of those on this HYS. It’s true to say I’m a bit lapsed but you would think some of the old guard would be out.
A word of caution therefore: pro-Tory, pro-Bojo comments are running roughly at 2:1 in favour. However, they could be from Trolls or Bots. Where have all the anti-Brexit, pro-EU Trolls and Bots gone? They have been growing in numbers since 2016/2017 and recently very dominant.
It can’t be just shy Conservatives taking over, can it? And pro-EU Labour HYS posters in the pub, already drowning their sorrows?
Vine just asserted that the WASPI women had their money stolen from them in a kind of hidden announcement.
…total tosh that his economics prof guest pushed back on
by pointing out that his own wife would had benefitted hugely at his expense had retirement ages nit been equalised.
Then ..John MacDonnell came on and I switched off.
Stew, pro-Labour spinners at the BBC conveniently overlook that this has gone to trial and the verdict went against the WASPIs.
All the men around retirement age were paying attention. How come these Wimmin who are wonderful, were not?
Once again everyone’s favourite beauty only tweets about Democrat talking points.
They’re spraying out charges without foundation in the hope they strike lucky and something sticks.
Which part of “has done NOTHING wrong” does Sopel not understand?
What Sopel is implying is that the president has done something wrong but chooses not to put in a tweet of mitigation.
Jim, did I get this right this morning: I thought I heard Soapy say the Democratic Party have filed umpteen charges of this and that against President Trump? I thought they were going after Trump for the other, doing a Quid Pro Quo or something, somewhere where he should not have done.
What Soapy did not tell me as a proper reporter or half-decent journalist would have done, is what is different with these lawsuits and what happened to the original charge.
I wasn’t really listening as R4 were also battering me around the ears with Bojo holding a photo of a small boy.
John Ashworths’s jaw dropping comments about Corbyn and probably the pivertal moment of the election and its only the third story on the BBC 1 News…Great
It’s like some grasp what the BBC actively tries to pass by.
https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/12/14-portillo-moments-to-look-out-for-on-election-night/
The roll call of MPS likely to get their come-uppance on election night will probably make a lot of people on this site very happy. Characterised by the vexatious, the vacuous and the mendacious – Swinson, Grieve, Umunna, Soubry, Yvette Cooper. But there is a sting in the tail. 2 other candidates for a come-uppance: Ian Duncan-Smith and Boris. Why in their case? ‘demographic’ change: Boris and IDS are both facing a real threat from an Ali Milani and Faiza Shaheen respectively. Signs of the irreversible change that will sweep the whole country in future elections.
Imagine if the Tories got in with a majority and Boris lost his seat in such circumstance. The Tories would need a new leader to be PM. Fresh from the crowing by remainers over the scalp they’d taken, the Tories react by electing someone far more keen on a real Brexit.
I quite like that scenario.
#metoo
RD, I quite like the idea of all three main Party leaders plus Sturgeon, losing their seats.
The Night of the Short Pencils.
🙂
Sturgeon doesn’t have a seat.
She’s the best case for not having PR. Stood twice and lost twice then brought in as a reserve ‘list’ msp.
The system in Scotland is set up so you can’t flush these Marxist turds away.
Thatch, she does at Holyrood. If the SNP did badly, she might have to resign as leader, especially after the previous Scottish Elections. You are right that she doesn’t represent a UK constituency …. she may not be the best advert for PR …. except for those who don’t like it.
I hope there is a good turnout tomorrow and that FPTP wins some credibility.
He could be put straight into the Lords, its happened in the past
Not seen corbyn connect with Voters the way that boris does.
And today’s media pile on is…
I can see someone trying to make political capital out of the boy’s death and it isn’t Boris.
Roland, I said exactly the same. Could it be that he feels guilty that his son was killed for following his father’s naive beliefs. I woud also say that from what he is saying he believes that more terrorists should be on our streets free to kill people like his son and many more.
Just read through some of that tweet thread. The father is using his son’s death to make blatantly biased political point scoring telling people to think of his son and vote tactically against the Conservatives.
How awful to be so depraved that you are not above using your son’s death to forward your own sick political agenda. And then he has the chutzpah to complain that Johnson is politicising it! Good grief!! Although he did say that Corbyn was right to politicise it his own way.
Somebody also showed a tweet from the father that was rabidly anti-semitic. Nice chap eh?
Beth Rigby is just a nasty, little, leftist troll who revealed just how low she will go to exploit this tragedy as a political weapon two days before an election. Not acceptable.
Just read the comments on this tweet as it really got my goat earlier in the week but didnt post. Its nice to see that the vast majority of the responses follow our line of thinking, that Mr Merritt is a rampant, lefty activist who is the ONLY one making political point scoring out of this. Absolute shame on the man, son not been buried yet and all over the media spouting his left wing bile.

Ben Lack is the rights owner
AFAIK that means he may have taken the photo .. or just bought the rights from the mother
“The Mirror were the first to publish the photo

It’s how freelancing works.”

Problems in FakeMedialanf
What I saw versus what the BBC saw.
Me:
A pushy hack from ITV is sent to bushwhack Boris, Boris swats him off like a fly because he is busy with other stuff and doesn’t have time for the very rude interruption. (without looking at the photo).
The BBC:
Boris is handed a photo of a child suffering on the floor of a hospital waiting room and Boris snarls them away because he doesn’t care.
There are a lot more people than you think BBC who can see straight through this stunt and their opinion of you lot sinks even further.
I for one hopes Boris carries through on his idea to reduce the BBC to rubble and then we might get some real news.
What I saw versus what the BBC saw Part 2
Me:
Jonathon Ashworth told a friend some very hard truths about Labour and it’s chances.
The BBC:
Jonathon Ashworth japes a fiend by pretending the Labour party is in deep S**t when they are actually in fine fettle, what a totally upstanding clever fellow he is!
” I was only jossing ” what a -osser he is
The BBC is insular and up itself all the time.
Now the Radio4 history shoe is doing an item from the RToday prog reporting that R4Today is a place where history is made.
.. they chose to do it on a day when Boris was not on, but John MacDonnell was on.
Now they are doing an item about BBcReality Check
‘that assures that claims are tight’ FFS
A beeboid journo/historian TimStanley is doing 4 mins of anti-Trump, pro Hillary sneering
John McDonnell is on Sky almost every day. Hardly any Conservative gets shown, unless they can be put in a bad light, except Boris and he is always followed by Corbyn who tends to get an easier ride.
TwitterBias
I’m confused (again)….
When do we invoke Merritt’s Law (the suffering of a child must never be used for political gain) and when do we invoke Williment‑Barr’s Law (the suffering of a child should immediately be used for political gain)?
Will the BBC Reality Check team let us know?
The Daily Mirror knows underage suffering.
Not quite sure which law this one falls under.
“When my ex-boyfriend was a child, he insisted he was going to be an elephant when he grew up, yet, cruelly, his parents opted not to provide him with trunk surgery.” (Meghan Murphy, quoted in Spiked Online).
I think the BBC should run with this one. Transgender is so yesterday – the NHS will be so flush with money under Labour that trans-species surgery can become routine.
My brother would lay down under a tree for ages, tied up. We were accused of being cruel to him but he was quite content as he wanted to be a dog.
He grew up to have two
puppiesboys.I may be repeating earlier posts but did anyone listen to TWATO..I was driving and kept flicking on to see if I could hear anything positive for Tories..and the whole hour was dominated by anti Tory rhetoric..and pro Labour
Even the John Ashworth comment was discussed with that neural chappie Alastair Campbell and he turned it into an anti Boris story…Then when the economic news – The UK economy has no Growth —well 0.7% _ THAT’S NO GROWTH they kept shouting..and one tiny line that said it is still better than most of the EU (which was 0.3% in July..) it was so bias ….just look at the BBC and Guardian headlines…
Roland. I think I read somewhere that in the event of Boris losing his seat, a by election will be immediately triggered in an ultra safe seat letting him back in
Yes there’s a column on twitter suggesting an Alex Douglas Home repeat with a safe Tory MP resigning to the Lords for Boris to be elected by mid January with Raab standing in as temp PM .
Such a scenario will sending likes of Marr and Robinson into multiple orgasms ….
Pug
I’m not engaging MSM much but it’s sounds like hysteria is in the air at FarLeftLabour/BBC . What does intrigue me is reading comments on issues such as BBC reform where Lefties claim the BBC is right wing .
The only thing I can think of is that the Communist Playbook dictates that snowflakes should always claim “right wing bias “ in order to defend their media position .
Doesn’t any one sincerely think that the BBC is right wing ? Maxi – can you help out here ? Who is to the right ?
Has the BBC ever explained the benefits of Brexit ?
36 hours of dirt left – but I think Corbyn s state thugs in waiting will punch straight through any restrictions on Thursday – they’ll keep on campaigning because no one will touch them if they win and no one will prosecute them if / when they lose ….
“the Communist Playbook dictates that snowflakes should always claim “right wing bias “ in order to defend their media position”
The claim is made to enable the “we got it just about right” argument. Never mind the quality feel the width.
It would be interesting to compare screen time and interruption count for the players after the poll.
Not Gwent – I’m sure there is some bubble outfit monitoring it all for internal consumption by the Machiavellian types running the campaigns – publishing dodgy pictures of kids on hospital floors and timely leaks of a taped conversation by a Corbyn loyalist .
It’s like a damn game . The 500 traitors and their tame biased speaker seem like another time .
I have a feeling Fed, that should Corbyn lose, his momentum thugs will embark on a campaign of nasty street “protests” screaming for the government to be brought down. It’s pretty much all they know, but standby for major disruption. After all, having paid a pound to become members, this is the closest they have ever been to getting their man in.
Just add
Maybe there can be a contest between momentum and the extinction bods- although me thinks they may one and the same .
Not the best weather for protesting – thankfully .

We speak to four voters who face a dilemma between religion and policy.

#CCBGB
Our ITV local news is worse than the BBC local news
It opened with a McDonell live slot from Lincoln
then a prerecorded woman to woman chat with Swinson
The BBC Hull edition is milder cos it gets big pushback form Brexit and countryside Conservatives
The ITV area is split slightly differently and tends to have more items from socialist Sheffield and Leeds
Last night
– ITV in Grimsby went for the “liggle boy on hospital floor” GOTCHA and hammered in
– BBC began more rounded with soundbites of fishermen for and against Boris
..only after a few minutes did they play their GOTCHA card “14p foodbank woman”
..but the interview was much more rounded than the ITV one
My guess is the ITV fired loads of qns at Boris ..then suddenly shoved the photo at him
and that he was disorientated cos he hadn’t finished answering the first ones. And then ITV just edited out and began with him being disorientated
Monday ..the BBc local next moved to 4 mins of Jo Swinson
– then back to the local guy quickly mentioning the ITV row
– Next the election concerns about animals with a local mad cat/dog woman. (78 animals)
– Hull car vandalism
– vandalised Christmas lights in Grantham village
I once bumped into Peter Levy on Whitefriargate, he’s really short in real life.
Tonight the BBC local news opened with homeless Xmas hotel cancelled due to social media protests
Now in the Lincoln candidates debate the females are really screaming over the others.

Homeless = Too many people coming into this country & not enough houses.

Stew – I’ve just watched the first 12 minutes of the ITV national news for the first time in maybe a decade and it really is the BBC repeated . Ashworth got away with having a ‘strange sense of humour ‘ getting taped slagging off comrade Corbyn but otherwise anti boris anti trump snowflake fare .
Off switch .
The BBC. Where Aung San Suu Kyi is Trump, only Asian.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi used to be seen as a symbol of human rights, and spent years under house arrest for promoting democracy.
Now, as Myanmar’s civilian leader, she is defending the very people who had previously imprisoned her.

The BBC are investigating these claims about the hospital bed.
Such a shame that they do not investigate Labour’s shady behavior isn’t it?
\\Climate change: Greenland ice melt ‘is accelerating’//
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48387030
Can any clever scientists on this site explain 1. If the Arctic ice melts does the sea level actually rise ?
2. If the Arctic ice melts does the sea temperature rise or fall ?
😉
According to Prof Britts, Greenland ice melt is not a problem for sea level rise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yze1YAz_LYM&feature=youtu.be (toward end of lecture)
According to him, it is the other ice melting, glaciers disappearing that is a threat when we should be entering a new Ice Age.
Listening to Jonathan Amos on the 6pm News, I was struck by two things:
1. How the so-called scientific community like to conflate two different things; polar ice and land ice. One would expect a little more precision, and,
2. If you believe in Climate Change as well as Global Warming, then surely we might be in a situation within a year or two where the globe is rapidly cooling and we have snow up to our ears. You cannot have it both ways.
I don’t think you need to be Scientist to see that the Thames valley was once the riverbed of a very large sea of water, the original river bed, is still there. It was the floodwater of the disappearing ice sheets that carved it out. But then if you work for the BBC it doesn’t matter if the enormous 60 feet to 120 feet sea rise of Tides are dictated by the Moon, because its Global warming! And then the melting ice caps are due to melt because we are ending a cyclical Ice Age. The term Ice age still here – as we still have Ice at the Poles. Ice at the Poles has never been STATIC (as the captain of the TITANIC may of said). It moves and collapses under its own weight, frequently. But the interesting thing is from basic level Science (found in the BBC Science magazine ’FOCUS’, some years ago) which of course fake Scientists like Roger Harrabin never actually read, is the simple fact that when a body of floating water melts, the level of water remains exactly the same. In simple terms (complicated by the fact that Sea water contains a lot of salt (Ice bergs are all Fresh water so heavier than sea water which is less dense. Which is also why we have a Plimsoll line on shipping freight around the World. Invented by Samuel Plimsoll (who died in 1898) as he campaigned to stop city of London privateers overloading their leaky vessels, making them sink then claiming vast sums in Insurance scams with numerous shipping Claims made at Lloyds of London. The Plimsoll line calculated how much you could carry by ship to avoid being overloaded for insurance. This is important as the weight of water changes as you cross the seas of the World due to the simple fact that Salt Water is LESS BUOYANT than Fresh water. Another reason is found in GCSE Physics paper is water expands when frozen by (about) 4%. that is enough to make it float. When it melts it would be -4% by volume although the weight would be the same. It floats because of this property.
So going back to your question does the Ice melting change the sea level? Not-a-lot. Unless you believe the earth is entirely flat and the water will run all over the place or run up hill as the Earth tilts. Another amazing thing about water is that most of it evaporates when warmed or air pressure changes slightly. Snow can fall at just 4 degrees. Too cold and it does not snow very often and that is because it was formed at the last Ice Age reaching to the Poles. The Arctic has no land, therefore is all ice. I could go on about what makes boats Ships float and that would be ‘displacement’ which is the amount of water it ‘displaces’. To the BBC and people like Roger Harrabin, all the ships in the world do indeed ‘raise’ the sea level, by millimetres, not hundreds of feet. Ice melts and is largely replaced with new ice. This is because that there is no global warming until it was invented as a green tax on industry by the UN. The BBC alarmists are political agitators, even when proved wrong – carry on as before as they have no accountability to reality.
Thank you posters for your answers.
Then conversely from the your replies, would it be correct to state that the melting ice in the Antarctic would pose a different scenario ?*
*NOTE – This time its “Antarctica”.
Antarctica is all ice. No land for the ice to sit on. When (or IF) it ever melts (which is remote) but IF then; the same rule holds, if the ice floats upon the sea, it is impossible for the sea to rise. An example I gave at a Science show was asking youngsters (when showing a glass of water with ice cubes floating in it). The question was ‘what happens to the ice cubes when they melt’? Do they raise the water level, reduce the water level or remain exactly the same?
No surprise that children think it will always overflow.
Correction! Antarctica is actually (mostly) on land. Therefore melt water would raise sea level greatly. However this is more unlikely to happen as the dangers of another ice age are also possible as its has happend before, usually major Volcanoes ash obscuring the Sun or Solar cooling. We are after all Solar powered and not much powered by CO2 emissions as the UN seems to think.. So in that scenario, North Pole would melt well before South Pole. But still a remote possibility in my humble opinion.
Philip_2
Thank you for a simple and concise explanation.
My thoughts on the subject are exactly the same .
Now then , where are all the other ‘scientists’ on this?
Phew Philip! You had me worried there. Thought you had become 100% BBC infected and were standing upside down and going around on your head. Definitely not advisable at this time of year. Even with a hard hat on. All those extra pavement pizzas. Eeeewwe!
Don’t forget Pole Wobble. Our planet has an irregular shape and orbit.
Also Antarctica has sea ice as well as ice on the land. This is because it has mountains and glaciers. Some of this ice cover gets pushed to the edge of the continent and falls off.
The reason Dan Britts gave for Greenland ice melt not being too serious is because Greenland has hollows. Hhelloewe. The topography of Greenland is largely bowl shaped, so vast run-off is less likely. And the land would absorb the meltwater, too.
Another feature of Antarctica, if I recall correctly, is that it is thermal and possibly also slightly or even more volcanic. It is also vast. Some scientists have discovered and are honest enough to say publicly last year, iirc, that they have discovered that some of the Antarctic ice melt is due to that thermal activity.
It is disgraceful that today’s children are apparently not taught about icebergs and the difference between frozen freshwater and frozen seawater.
