As the BBC passes ‘peak Cummings’ and the curve flattens out the Far left Biased BBC will be seeking more targets to undermine the newish government and prevent the UK ever leaving the EU
80 years ago to the day, the Battle of Dunkirk was underway.
A little known fact is that an early edition of Newsnight was secretly recorded and I have discovered a copy.
Good evening and welcome to Newsnight for May 29, 1940.
Tonight we will be asking just why the Tory government has failed to start peace talks which would save thousands of lives. We have been granted an exclusive interview with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.
Also tonight
We ask – how long can the UK fight on when its entire army is set to be destroyed at Dunkirk
The Prime Minister visited Chartwell last week but we have discovered he could not have had enough petrol coupons for the trip. We ask – is there one rule for one and another rule for the others.
The Germans bombing of London seem to be hitting a disproportionate number of BAME households. Why is the government not doing more to eliminate this discrimination?
Little ships have been asked to help with an evacuation at Dunkirk but Newsnight has discovered that some may not have the most up-to-date equipment. We ask whether their owners should put to sea.
And we’ll also be hearing from the Bruderhof conscientious objectors community in Ashton Keynes.
A strongly worded note from the German embassy, in reply to the implied criticism of the Newsnight program, suggests that the UK government accept reality and come under the umbrella of the newly formed European Community – a concept become reality through the far-sighted and generous statesmanship of the Fuehrer.
As Leaders of this courageous enterprise, the German People welcome their English cousins, in a spirit of comradeship and cooperation.
Communication ends.
Remember when the BBC was all over the story claiming that the threat of a hard Brexit meant the U.K. could lose its Sunderland Nissan plant?
Well, as they say in football, it’s all gone quiet over there – now that Nissan bosses have delivered a vote of U.K. confidence by announcing that its Sunderland plant will become the hub for production of its core models for Europe, securing thousands of north east jobs.
What a feelgood story, what a boost, so over to the biased BBC for its long awaited follow-up; cue wall to wall celebration.
No? Not doom laden enough? Not anti Brexit enough?
So, where do we find this good news story today on the BBC website? Its certainly not on its home page, or it’s UK news page, or even on its England news page.
No, it is treated as a minor down page item, hidden away as the NINTH article on the Business page – and remarkably only served up as the FOURTH item in importance on the local Tyne & Wear news page.
There’s bias, and then there’s downright deceit. The BBC trades in both
High humidity may be a factor, something we always have, and mosques
and epidemiologists should maybe be looking at the correlation with rusty vauxhall vectra taxi drivers, seedy flats above kebab shops and teenage white girls
Not just activists, but the U.K. media seem to be seeing Domgate slip from their control and have moved on to… an unpleasant bit of local news thousands of miles away in another country (not Pakistan or South Africa).
Here’s a view on the local MSM that does seem apposite in a global sense.
Guest who….. a propos the second twat-tweet, I hope the answers to any questions are very clearly expressed as f**k of, or any variant on that theme – at which point, for once Campbell is right – they should then go away – immediately, forthwith, with no further communication necessary. And if they do it again, they should be arrested for harassment…… since they’ve had their answers.
I’m not holding my breath waiting for plod to do their job, though. Nor for the BBC to properly report what the police are doing or saying.
A conversation between messrs Campbell and Sweeney would be hilarious. Two alkys talking past each other while squatting at the side of the road on a flattened cardboard box and a mongrel dog on a piece of string sitting between them.
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse could make a whole series out of them.
With halal meat in short supply and the holy month of Ramadan beginning, one mosque has taken it upon themselves to feed their community during the pandemic

Anyone here like conspiracy theories or wish to explore coincidences?
Shortly after Cummings drove to Barnard’s Castle to test his eyesight before driving to Downing St to “get back to work to get vaccine deals through, move regulations aside’- as he said at the press briefing – GlaxoSmithKline of Barnard Castle signed an agreement to develop and manufacture a Covid-19 vaccine with Sanofi of France.
From the Northern Echo
‘GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) which has a site on Harmire Road, in Barnard Castle, has signed a letter of intent to enter into a collaboration with French company, Sanofi.
The firm will contribute its pandemic adjuvant technology to the collaboration whilst Sanofi will deliver its S-protein Covid-19 antigen, which is based on recombinant DNA technology.’
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Worth checking Wikipedia and elsewhere for details of
GlaxoSmithKline’s notorious record eg. In 2012 GlaxoSmithKline were fined $3 billion for fraud, overcharging and making false claims about medicines in the USA. In 2016, GlaxoSmithKline were fined £37.6 million in the UK for bribing companies not to produce generic copies of their out of patent drugs, thus overcharging the NHS.
Just suppose that the Northern Echo was not spinning fake news and a deal from the firm in Barnard’s Castle following the coincidental visit for an eyesight test did take place. Given the controversial record of the company it would not be prudent for a top government adviser to be seen to be involved in any deal. Best let him take the flack for a so called breach of his own regulations and stand by him till it all blows over.
After all, you can’t expect the BBC to conduct a serious inquiry can you?
Only problem is that their HQ is in Brentford, where one would expect ‘deals’ to be signed and, according to GSK, they don’t have any vaccine research centres in the UK.
Cummings later returned to London, where Putin’s Russian embassy is situated.
The Russians have been accused with interfering with the election of Donald Trump, Brexit and the price of oil.

the behaviour of journalists.
As long as the muslim criminal postal vote system is refused, they will never be in power, and in a way it is amusing to watch them all complaining from the touchline
although not quite amusing that the govt allow a media witch hunt to take place
funny though the dignity they show against the “fury” and “Incandescent” rage of so called impartial journalists ??
Just shows their partisan nature in full for all to see
As above. there are those who have a right to have an incandescent rage (industrial rape of white schoolgirls in every muzzie ghetto in the country)
but according to the bbc this is not allowed we have to rage about a man protecting his child etc etc
More good news – reports in the BBC newspaper that SOAS is in deep financial trouble -.school of african asian studies –
A hiding place of the Left and an extension of the ministry of giving borrowed taxpayers’ cash away – it is a favourite of the BBC when they need an anti british critic of whatever the BBC wants more of your money spent on in some bit of the 3rd world which is meant to be er – ‘ independent ‘ .
I fear an announcement of more ‘money tree’ action at the government briefing in the naive belief that the Lefty MSM will appreciate it …
We’re receiving complaints on a number of issues relating to Tuesday’s edition of Newsnight and the BBC’s response.
To register a complaint visit this BBC Complaints page.
Please do,
if you ever wonder why we have, for example, a media obsession with muslims it is because they are instructed to barrage all media with complaints which gives the impression that they are more than they are, which is just a gobby minority, a very small but gobby minority
Hindus, sikhs, japanese, indonesians, chinese, philipinos etc etc how much do they feature on the bbc ? are they represented on the bbc asia channel ? if not why not ?
do the bbc need a geography lesson ? general intelligence is not their strong point, maybe not covered in their 3rd class meeja degree
Much as I on average support the government and oppose the BBC metrobubble…….
Now that our number of tests and number of cases are comparable with the likes of Italy, France and Spain and especially Germany we do have to ask why our deaths per million population are higher.
Remember early on Italy was described as being in crisis with hospitals overwhelmed, inpart due to their population age. We are worse than that.
We have done some things very badly indeed, probably related to early stage testing capacity and the knock-on impact of sending patients back to care homes without testing. And all to ‘save the NHS’ from…..something or other, probably accountability, aided and abetted by confusion of responsibilities (NHS, PHE, SAGE, DoHealth, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all….).
Yep something going on here
whether it’s the hero NHS being substandard, or our immigrants, or our civil servants and bureaucracy etc.
Needs properly talking about
not brushing under the carpet
I don’t believe magic simplistic claims like
“if we had locked down a week earlier”
“more tests would have been a magic solution”
Covid19 came in on planes and we allowed people to get on public transport.
More Or Less
said flights from China & Italy was one thing
but by then people were already coming in via Germany and France
and if you have 1 million coming in a day you can’t stay on top of it, cos all you are doing is putting off the inevitable
We could have stopped public transport at airports and asked incomers to stay home for a few days.
He couldn’t be more dismissive of the Govt’s business schemes , which are incredibly generous and easy to get…
No not a bloody positive word…in fact he said words to the effect of ‘ might have been more generous’..words fail me…
And now much more important we leave the briefing…to go to an NHS hospital and listen to a fawning BBC reporter….more doom and gloom…
The chancellor – so no beff presto kuensberg or usual gotcha merchants – and strangely no DC questions ….
…. but the MSM is determined to keep the DC nonsense going – this time it is about the conduct or the chief plod of Durham as well as the Lefty police commission crime waste of space ….
Strangely no questions about furlough fraud today ….
4:30pm Radio 4
Tim Harford #HateSignalled at least twice against Cummings twice
.. introduced a reference to him when he was introducing/closing another topic… in the same way disses their prey , say “The Jews”

Indeed most R4 progs do HateSignal against Cummings or Trump
Only some like the local ITV news don’t
some local BBC reporters and presenters do.
… the French have claimed a new excuse for not intercepting migrants, as the individuals apparently threaten to throw themselves or their children overboard if their ships get too close.
IF the French are telling the truth, these certainly aren’t the type of people savages we want in our country.
Report: Channel Migrants ‘Threaten to Throw Their Children Into the Water’ to Keep French Away https://t.co/LEjdJXxU7y
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) May 29, 2020
If that’s true, what they are threatening is ‘we will kill the children if we are forced to stay in France’.
I am pretty sure that the French Navy have men on board that can deal with that threat quite easily .
Take their children off them, if they are really ‘their’ children? Then jail the B@st@rds. But something tells me that The French Navy don’t want to take them back , they just want to dump them on us .
These are the people that can run from their own country and yet threaten their very own kids lives .
Do we want them here ?
I still say shoot a few of the adults, starting with any of them who throw the children into the sea. The rest will behave themselves. Then tow the survivors back to France so they can tell their friends we mean business.
We have in Great Britain, the finest Navy and Marines at hand . They would have to be used once only, no more would follow.
We are too soft and sadly so far, we have a soft Home Secretary.
It was actually quite funny for a change…Fiona Bruce managed to interrupt the Conservative MP before she could begin to reply to any question. The MP just sat there silently each time while FB ranted and didn’t seem too put out 🙂
I had my telephone conversation with my MP this morning if anyone is interested. She’s very personable, so she’s hard to dislike, which I don’t.
There isn’t much meat on the bone, as someone might say, but the most interesting comment was that the government is going to decriminalise the none payment of the racist far-left bbc protection money. From what I gathered, there’s a lot of pondering over what to do about the racist far-left bbc come 2027, with some mention of them building up the World Service, because it has a strong reputation in foreign lands. Which surprised me because I stopped listening to the World Service in the late eighties/ early nineties, when they were promoting black rule in South Africa.
Thank you John – I was wondering when the ‘consultation ‘ result on de criminalisation would be Published . I was wondering whether it was one of the many reasons that the BBC was after DC beyond reason – and still is .
I suspect DCMS will hold off on formal publication until parliament goes out for summer and the DC/virus reduces in the public attention ….
Whatever happens the Government will be accused of ‘spite ‘. To me decriminalisation is the first step to ending the BBC as a tax funded entity – after all – it is so popular and so good that everyone will jump at the chance to pay subscription – won’t they ?
Fedup2, from what I’ve seen recently, I think the racist far-left bbc is experimenting with life after protection money with their Britbox project.
Apparently it’s full of stuff we’ve already paid for, that they want us, or someone else, to pay for again by subscription. If I’m correct, it may be a sign that reality is creeping into their bovine skulls and if so I don’t wish them ill. But I think it will fail because they have no idea how to run a business that relies on satisfying their customers demands in order to make a profit and hence survive and prosper.
I said this a few days ago in a post Fedup that when the government go after al beeb regarding the licence fee, they will claim it is retribution for this saga! ????
Know your enemy and keep one step ahead of them ????
A pugnacious fight between “BBC Philosophers and Environmental Activists” versus “Biasedbbc Mathematicians and Scientists”.
BBC Philosopher’s claim to be the best scientists, but unlike BBC Philosophers, I also did Maths. A tortoise is given a 100m head start on a runner….by the time the runner has run the 100m the tortoise has moved 10m, thus the runner is running at ten times the speed of the tortoise and therefore overtakes the tortoise after 111m.
Therefore I believe the Cummings and goings at the BBC will have a second wave, ending with a season of Frost. As a NAZI judge would say “The nation knows he is guilty”. The BBC Philosopher knows in its heart that the consensus is that as with Carbon gas, he is guilty. Anyone who does not agree with the BBC will be banned under the Orwellian concept of “False Balance”. A false balance between those that “know that he is guilty” and those who “don’t know if he is guilty”. Ignorance of police reports and scientific discoveries will protect the BBC bubble from reality. Only abolishing the BBC licence fee would cause a confrontation with reality.
BBC Philosopher says “Consensus of scientists believe carbon dioxide causes Climate Change” An Astronomer who will never appear on the BBC says “If we find a formula for warming on Venus, and it works for Mars” “But then it also works for all the other Planets, even the Earth” “Then the idea that carbon dioxide rules Climate Change is proven to be a hoax”. But BBC presenters openly say “Carbon is guilty” and not blink an eye as they ‘forget’ to mention context and scientific findings that clear the Carbon gas of guilt.
No matter how many times Carbon is shown not to have done anything wrong, the BBC will try to keep the story going with ever more ridiculous and trivial claims and new ‘angles’ of attack. Even using silly child Philosophers like Greta to continue the attack, with polls showing ignorant people are very angry with Carbon emissions. The reason these ignorant people think like that is because the media lies and censors by omission and obfuscation. The BBC bans independent Meteorologists, Astronomers and even every known Members of Parliament with a science degree. Scientists who complain to the BBC find that the BBC uses the lie of stating that “Some scientists say” when it is proven that what they mean is “This is what environmental activists say”.
I must log off now. There is a program about Venus on Yesterday Freeview Channel 25 at 8pm.
96% of the world’s CO2 is residing in the oceans. Whatever amount we remove from the atmosphere will be replaced from the ocean store until a natural equilibrium is reached. That equilibrium will depend on solar activity and ambient temperatures. In my 1970’s Uni days there was a real fear of an impending Ice Age as atmospheric CO2 was at critically low levels and this can result in rapid glaciation of the poles and creates deserts in the tropics.
A revisit of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World gives an impression of what the beast has planned for us. And I think it’s closer than we think. Especially Mustapha Mond. The elite, ha!, already consider us as members of a lower caste.
No ‘three am-ego’s’ from the gutter press at the daily briefing today which probably meant why it was relatively restrained and the quality of questions was far better ????
Long may it continue but we all know there is no point holding your breath on that one ????
I recorded qt last night and started watching it just now.
Poor Fiona, she had to wait until almost a third of the way through before she could interrupt anyone as they were all agreeing how evil DC was.
When the guest representing the right was allowed to talk (Helen Whately) she was immediately talked over and interrupted by Fi, making up for her earlier silence.
In fact, she spoke more than Helen during Helen’s couple of minutes.
One thing she (Fi) said was we have the second highest number of deaths in the world and nobody (well, the one Tory) questioned this or at least pointed out the obvious which all of us on here know (deaths per population)
The usual 4 v 1 panel (5 if you include Fi) and so far all those commenting on the tv screens (the ‘audience’, 12 of them) were on Fi’s side with the only one not calling DC Satan was more or less saying move on if I remember correctly.
I switched off half way through to see Richie Sunak being asked if people should have a picnic rather than a bbq.
Prime time tv with a ‘top’ reporter asking the Chancellor this daft question.
Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the crap of the bbc scum.
Apparently calling the MSM scum upsets the scum.
I wouldn’t want to upset the MSM scum for all the tea in China.
So, this is the last time I call the MSM scum scum. At least for today.
Scum. It’s one of those words that if you say it over and over, it sounds increasingly weird. Is it onomatopoeia?
Scum? Scum.
This is the bbc wurld klass gernaliss you are talking about, who, at the height of their profession, listen (?) to a briefing then ask a question that has already been addressed in the briefing,
They would not pass a mock GCSE or an 11 plus with that performance but are allowed to earn an eye watering salary paid for by those they hold in complete contempt
scum ? quite possibly, or shall we suggest, overpaid scum
My house cat could do with a job, she rarely listens so is equally qualified
And has just caught a fly, so possibly overqualified, as she can put a useful achievement on her CV
Interestingly, my MP thinks that the traitors such as Mr Grieve and Mrs Soubry have been adequately punished because they were voted out of office.
Me? I want them charged with sedition and treason, tried, found guilty and hanged. That might just be sufficient punishment. Although, like King Charles II, I think I’d dig up their corpses and hang them again.

Lullingstone Castle: Man dies following disturbance near lake
“The circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated, and reports of rocks being thrown have not been confirmed by officers”
Rocks eh ? Not to be confused with those harmless stones BBC regularly report that Palestinian yobs throw.
That story is horrifying. This stuff is STILL going on, and the police are STILL obstructing investigation. When shall we be allowed to read that REPORT?
There are some horrible pictures of her injuries, I think I saw them attached to Twitter account I was reading that although the police obviously have her in custody they cannot find any evidence for the assault!!!! How do they think she got the injuries? I think they were on Maggie Oliver’s Twitter account, they really upset me and in this day and age I couldn’t believe they hadn’t found there way to the MSM. But I’m being stupid there.

Coronavirus: Death of Belly Mujinga ‘not linked to spit attack’
The death of a railway worker who was spat at by a man claiming to have coronavirus was not linked to the attack, police have concluded.
Belly Mujinga, 47, who died with Covid-19 on 5 April, was working at Victoria station when she was assaulted.
Following “extensive inquiries” British Transport Police (BTP) decided the attack did not lead to her death.
The force also said no further action would be taken against a 57-year-old man interviewed by officers.”
No action to me, reads like no assault took place, but the PC police don’t want to say so.

Following ‘extensive inquiries’ British Transport Police (BTP) decided the attack did not lead to her death.
The force also said no further action would be taken against a 57-year-old man interviewed by officers.
The BBC understands that the man, who was the main suspect, had a negative antibody test in the time after the incident.”
“Following a review of all the information, senior detectives have concluded that there is no evidence to substantiate any criminal offences having taken place,” it said.

FFS Nadia he can’t have had Covid and he’s probably some drugged/drunk nutter that spits at people and not worth wasting prison space on.
As the good lady says at the end “ we are the many and they are the few “ – but at the moment they are in control of delivering their far left alien message …. it won’t always be like that .
I didn’t realise that ms Daley’s piece was written on 25 January 2020 – it’s even more relevant now .
“The BBC will never recover from the accusations of propaganda and bias which have been levied [sic] at it for the past decade or so, but particularly the last 4 years.
Millions of us have, literally, switched off. And we won’t be coming back. There is now far more choice about what we watch, listen to and read. And the more choice there is, the more the BBC is outed as a small but arrogant and illiberal propagandist. Channel 4 is even worse.
And on related topics: I’m also turning off ITV, since I refuse to watch advertising which is pushing the lie that the vast majority of families in the UK are mixed-race and the black population is at least 50%. Neither are true – it is a blatant attempt to brainwash us into the belief that miscegenation is the ideal.

Indy : Noel Clarke says racism is ‘embedded’ in British society
was trending today so will be on BBC soon except his series is on Sky
Coincidentally he tweeted a movie poster
7 actors are named on it
6 are pictured
He’s been left off
A valid complaint maybe
but sometimes there are different posters for different areas etc.
Stew,is that the same Noel Clarke who got a part in Auf Wiedersehen Pet just because the BBC weren’t happy that the cast from the two original ITV series were all white so insisted on introducing some BAME.As the actor who played Wayne had sadly passed away they introduced his son into the series who just happened to be black.Now I could understand that as Wayne did put it about a bit but then we find out that Oz’s son is gay and a drag queen.Of course in the end Oz is proud of his son.Another great programme spoiled by the BBC once they’d got the diversity mitts on it.
What is the flak ?
Is he the only one getting the flak ?
What sort of flak is it ?
Does Boris care about getting the flak?
What is the source of the flak ?
Reviews of tomorrow’s newspaper headlines on the beeb and Sky tonight discussing the Guardian’s claim that 1000’s of e-mails from “angry” members of the public have been sent to M.P.’s about D.C. If I was a Tory M.P. I would do a sample analysis of about 100 and see if any are card carrying Tory party members and how many actually live in my constituency. Then I would check social media to see if I could establish the politics of the others.
Quite easy for Labour supporters to send me one e-mail but copy in loads of other M.P’s and hide the “c.c.’s”. This could be verified by contacting some of my fellow M.P.’s in case any had received an e-mail from the same person.
The Guardian is so desperate to keep this story alive.
I wrote an email to my Brexit supporting MP with my support for Mr Cummings and how he has been badly treated by the media and how supposedly MPs had lots of emails from their constituency asking for his sacking.
I was quite shocked to get his condescending reply actually going over every boring fact that we’ve heard for days and saying his mailbag has emails for and against him. Then he went on at some length about how he could resign or be fired .Dismissed the Labour and SNP MPs doing the same thing, also dismissed the child element.
I was really suprised by his attitude which confirms to me this is about more that the media, he has quite a few enemies on the Tory side.
My MP seems to be part of the ERG group and is common knowledge some of them have written letters asking for his dismissal. It’s a witch hunt and personal vendettas are being played out here.
If these MPs have any courage at all they will show their hand but we all know that is asking too much.
I am just wondering whether to reply to his email as he has shocked me with his attitude.
Cromwell, I think you are lucky to get a response. I wrote to my Brexit supporting MP to say I wasn’t angry about DC but the press (I am a member of the Conservative Party), it was not one of those letters that was copied and pasted. Other than the automated response to say he had received it, I have not had a response.
Doodle and thoughts on the news in America. Weirdly about 4 years ago I was considering moving to Minneapolis, ended up taking a different turn at that junction of life but it’s one of those ones where I wonder “what if” seeing as how it’s gone from being a very nice wealthy place to live to affluent suburbs surrounding a divided city that’s almost perpetually on the course of explosive racial violence.
Newsnight is not the only incredibly biased program on Al Beeb. Take Question Time and the various Anti Brexit commentators for the last four years. It would be a good exercise to list them all. We have been taken for fools by the broadcaster for to long and I suspect the people of Britain have had enough ? They are now being called “scum”. Time to pull the plug on them.
Here Toenails hides behind quoting…. Dancin’ Terry.

BBC Website Watch #1 – I’m Sorry I’ll Re-write That One Again
Warn the scientists! The scientists don’t realise!! The scientists don’t know!!!
“Risks in lockdown easing too soon, warn scientists.”
The Apostrophe Curse has now hit the BBC Commas. Oh no! Either that or the work experience kids have come to work at the BBC earlier than in previous years thanks to the Pandemic.
dafydd, I didn’t bother clicking on and reading it. If the BBC Executives and Editors cannot be bothered to sort out the complete horlicks that the Corp produces these days, then I cannot be bothered to waste my time on it. Thanks for the precis.
Hopefully everyone here will have had a chuckle over it.
Don’t know if a reference has been posted before, but anyone with the inclination (and time) should watch this Delingpole podcast with Dolores Cahill, where she rightly rubbishes the lock-down and “social distancing” from the perspective of an immunologist.
She’s good, if a little strident, and a user of the word “so” to begin every sentence, but I can forgive her those, and hope she can progress her crusade against the daft MPs, biased press, and dodgy “scientists”.
Also, Trump is very good in this, where he dispenses with the services of the WHO (or at least cuts their funding). What I found most satisfying was at the end, when he just left, leaving the gathered press calling out questions to his departing back…
Who is actually in charge or in control of Al Beeb ? That is the person responsible for the vitriolic and endemic bias throughout its programming. One can take a safe bet that person is an extremely well paid champagne socialist. Another safe bet is that the head of OfCom is of a similar type and both are working in tandem.
….fancy being a employee of the BBC and having centre right political views, you must work in fear of being found out…
How does the BBC vet people when hiring them…makes you wonder how the interview must go…
I suppose if you walk into the interview carrying a socialist news paper or wearing a a red tie with a Labour logo on it then the interview is done and dusted in seconds
Purnell a proven, tv verified, liar. At the time of some publicity regarding illegal donations to Labour (one of many instances), he appeared on Brillo’s Sunday show iirc saying the donation HAD already been repaid. Of course it hadn’t, and I don’t believe it ever was.
As a notorious liar he is undoubtedly aptly qualified to take up the most senior position at Al Beeb.
“Meanwhile, photographers’ favourite Cabinet minister, James Purnell, has landed himself in a minor spot of hot water after it turned out he didn’t tell the truth on the radio at the weekend. Talking about the £650,000 in illegal donations from David Abrahams he said, “We’ve given the money back.”
One slight problem: Labour hasn’t. Oh dear James.”
Also worth a reminder is that he did not get his senior BBC job by working his way up the industry but was parachuted straight in at the top having been the Labour culture secretary. And if I remember correctly, the post was not advertised and so not available to open competition.
Or as the BBC would no doubt argue, finding the best talent by the most transparent of processes.
Speaking of ‘parachuting’ in. Just look at Greg Dyke’s cv. He seems to love the title of Director of Chairman…………
He was the DIRECTOR GENERAL of the BBC from January 2000 to January 2004; was a DIRECTOR r of Manchester United and CHAIRMAN of Brentford football clubs, and from 2013 to 2016 was CHAIRMAN of the Football Association. He was Chancellor of the University of York from 2004 to 2015 and CHAIRMAN of the British Film Institute between 2008 and 2016.
He is currently the CHAIRMAN of children’s television company HiT Entertainment, and is a panellist on Sky News’ The Pledge.
In 2019, Dyke became CHAIRMAN of London Film School.

80 years ago to the day, the Battle of Dunkirk was underway.
A little known fact is that an early edition of Newsnight was secretly recorded and I have discovered a copy.
Good evening and welcome to Newsnight for May 29, 1940.
Tonight we will be asking just why the Tory government has failed to start peace talks which would save thousands of lives. We have been granted an exclusive interview with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.
Also tonight
We ask – how long can the UK fight on when its entire army is set to be destroyed at Dunkirk
The Prime Minister visited Chartwell last week but we have discovered he could not have had enough petrol coupons for the trip. We ask – is there one rule for one and another rule for the others.
The Germans bombing of London seem to be hitting a disproportionate number of BAME households. Why is the government not doing more to eliminate this discrimination?
Little ships have been asked to help with an evacuation at Dunkirk but Newsnight has discovered that some may not have the most up-to-date equipment. We ask whether their owners should put to sea.
And we’ll also be hearing from the Bruderhof conscientious objectors community in Ashton Keynes.

Remember when the BBC was all over the story claiming that the threat of a hard Brexit meant the U.K. could lose its Sunderland Nissan plant?
Well, as they say in football, it’s all gone quiet over there – now that Nissan bosses have delivered a vote of U.K. confidence by announcing that its Sunderland plant will become the hub for production of its core models for Europe, securing thousands of north east jobs.
What a feelgood story, what a boost, so over to the biased BBC for its long awaited follow-up; cue wall to wall celebration.
No? Not doom laden enough? Not anti Brexit enough?
So, where do we find this good news story today on the BBC website? Its certainly not on its home page, or it’s UK news page, or even on its England news page.
No, it is treated as a minor down page item, hidden away as the NINTH article on the Business page – and remarkably only served up as the FOURTH item in importance on the local Tyne & Wear news page.

Anyone here like conspiracy theories or wish to explore coincidences?
Shortly after Cummings drove to Barnard’s Castle to test his eyesight before driving to Downing St to “get back to work to get vaccine deals through, move regulations aside’- as he said at the press briefing – GlaxoSmithKline of Barnard Castle signed an agreement to develop and manufacture a Covid-19 vaccine with Sanofi of France.
From the Northern Echo
‘GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) which has a site on Harmire Road, in Barnard Castle, has signed a letter of intent to enter into a collaboration with French company, Sanofi.
The firm will contribute its pandemic adjuvant technology to the collaboration whilst Sanofi will deliver its S-protein Covid-19 antigen, which is based on recombinant DNA technology.’
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Worth checking Wikipedia and elsewhere for details of
GlaxoSmithKline’s notorious record eg. In 2012 GlaxoSmithKline were fined $3 billion for fraud, overcharging and making false claims about medicines in the USA. In 2016, GlaxoSmithKline were fined £37.6 million in the UK for bribing companies not to produce generic copies of their out of patent drugs, thus overcharging the NHS.
Just suppose that the Northern Echo was not spinning fake news and a deal from the firm in Barnard’s Castle following the coincidental visit for an eyesight test did take place. Given the controversial record of the company it would not be prudent for a top government adviser to be seen to be involved in any deal. Best let him take the flack for a so called breach of his own regulations and stand by him till it all blows over.
After all, you can’t expect the BBC to conduct a serious inquiry can you?

Only problem is that their HQ is in Brentford, where one would expect ‘deals’ to be signed and, according to GSK, they don’t have any vaccine research centres in the UK.
Cummings later returned to London, where Putin’s Russian embassy is situated.
The Russians have been accused with interfering with the election of Donald Trump, Brexit and the price of oil.

Much as I on average support the government and oppose the BBC metrobubble…….
Now that our number of tests and number of cases are comparable with the likes of Italy, France and Spain and especially Germany we do have to ask why our deaths per million population are higher.
Remember early on Italy was described as being in crisis with hospitals overwhelmed, inpart due to their population age. We are worse than that.
We have done some things very badly indeed, probably related to early stage testing capacity and the knock-on impact of sending patients back to care homes without testing. And all to ‘save the NHS’ from…..something or other, probably accountability, aided and abetted by confusion of responsibilities (NHS, PHE, SAGE, DoHealth, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all….).

but by then people were already coming in via Germany and France
and if you have 1 million coming in a day you can’t stay on top of it, cos all you are doing is putting off the inevitable
We could have stopped public transport at airports and asked incomers to stay home for a few days.

I had my telephone conversation with my MP this morning if anyone is interested. She’s very personable, so she’s hard to dislike, which I don’t.
There isn’t much meat on the bone, as someone might say, but the most interesting comment was that the government is going to decriminalise the none payment of the racist far-left bbc protection money. From what I gathered, there’s a lot of pondering over what to do about the racist far-left bbc come 2027, with some mention of them building up the World Service, because it has a strong reputation in foreign lands. Which surprised me because I stopped listening to the World Service in the late eighties/ early nineties, when they were promoting black rule in South Africa.

Thank you John – I was wondering when the ‘consultation ‘ result on de criminalisation would be Published . I was wondering whether it was one of the many reasons that the BBC was after DC beyond reason – and still is .
I suspect DCMS will hold off on formal publication until parliament goes out for summer and the DC/virus reduces in the public attention ….
Whatever happens the Government will be accused of ‘spite ‘. To me decriminalisation is the first step to ending the BBC as a tax funded entity – after all – it is so popular and so good that everyone will jump at the chance to pay subscription – won’t they ?

Fedup2, from what I’ve seen recently, I think the racist far-left bbc is experimenting with life after protection money with their Britbox project.

If I’m correct, it may be a sign that reality is creeping into their bovine skulls and if so I don’t wish them ill.

A pugnacious fight between “BBC Philosophers and Environmental Activists” versus “Biasedbbc Mathematicians and Scientists”.
BBC Philosopher’s claim to be the best scientists, but unlike BBC Philosophers, I also did Maths. A tortoise is given a 100m head start on a runner….by the time the runner has run the 100m the tortoise has moved 10m, thus the runner is running at ten times the speed of the tortoise and therefore overtakes the tortoise after 111m.
Therefore I believe the Cummings and goings at the BBC will have a second wave, ending with a season of Frost. As a NAZI judge would say “The nation knows he is guilty”. The BBC Philosopher knows in its heart that the consensus is that as with Carbon gas, he is guilty. Anyone who does not agree with the BBC will be banned under the Orwellian concept of “False Balance”. A false balance between those that “know that he is guilty” and those who “don’t know if he is guilty”. Ignorance of police reports and scientific discoveries will protect the BBC bubble from reality. Only abolishing the BBC licence fee would cause a confrontation with reality.
BBC Philosopher says “Consensus of scientists believe carbon dioxide causes Climate Change” An Astronomer who will never appear on the BBC says “If we find a formula for warming on Venus, and it works for Mars” “But then it also works for all the other Planets, even the Earth” “Then the idea that carbon dioxide rules Climate Change is proven to be a hoax”. But BBC presenters openly say “Carbon is guilty” and not blink an eye as they ‘forget’ to mention context and scientific findings that clear the Carbon gas of guilt.
No matter how many times Carbon is shown not to have done anything wrong, the BBC will try to keep the story going with ever more ridiculous and trivial claims and new ‘angles’ of attack. Even using silly child Philosophers like Greta to continue the attack, with polls showing ignorant people are very angry with Carbon emissions. The reason these ignorant people think like that is because the media lies and censors by omission and obfuscation. The BBC bans independent Meteorologists, Astronomers and even every known Members of Parliament with a science degree. Scientists who complain to the BBC find that the BBC uses the lie of stating that “Some scientists say” when it is proven that what they mean is “This is what environmental activists say”.
I must log off now. There is a program about Venus on Yesterday Freeview Channel 25 at 8pm.

96% of the world’s CO2 is residing in the oceans. Whatever amount we remove from the atmosphere will be replaced from the ocean store until a natural equilibrium is reached. That equilibrium will depend on solar activity and ambient temperatures. In my 1970’s Uni days there was a real fear of an impending Ice Age as atmospheric CO2 was at critically low levels and this can result in rapid glaciation of the poles and creates deserts in the tropics.

Poor Fiona, she had to wait until almost a third of the way through before she could interrupt anyone as they were all agreeing how evil DC was.
When the guest representing the right was allowed to talk (Helen Whately) she was immediately talked over and interrupted by Fi, making up for her earlier silence.
In fact, she spoke more than Helen during Helen’s couple of minutes.
One thing she (Fi) said was we have the second highest number of deaths in the world and nobody (well, the one Tory) questioned this or at least pointed out the obvious which all of us on here know (deaths per population)
The usual 4 v 1 panel (5 if you include Fi) and so far all those commenting on the tv screens (the ‘audience’, 12 of them) were on Fi’s side with the only one not calling DC Satan was more or less saying move on if I remember correctly.

Coronavirus: Death of Belly Mujinga ‘not linked to spit attack’
The death of a railway worker who was spat at by a man claiming to have coronavirus was not linked to the attack, police have concluded.
Belly Mujinga, 47, who died with Covid-19 on 5 April, was working at Victoria station when she was assaulted.
Following “extensive inquiries” British Transport Police (BTP) decided the attack did not lead to her death.
The force also said no further action would be taken against a 57-year-old man interviewed by officers.”
No action to me, reads like no assault took place, but the PC police don’t want to say so.

Millions of us have, literally, switched off. And we won’t be coming back. There is now far more choice about what we watch, listen to and read. And the more choice there is, the more the BBC is outed as a small but arrogant and illiberal propagandist. Channel 4 is even worse.
And on related topics: I’m also turning off ITV, since I refuse to watch advertising which is pushing the lie that the vast majority of families in the UK are mixed-race and the black population is at least 50%. Neither are true – it is a blatant attempt to brainwash us into the belief that miscegenation is the ideal.
The multi-cultural propaganda must stop.”

If 96% of Maitlis’s comments are anti-Boris, I wonder what percentage of Katty Kay’s tweets and retweets Guido would find to be anti-Trump. 99%? Or is that on the low side?
Here’s one of her latest.
I’ve no idea what it’s about. I have better things to do than wade through her slanted sources. But I’d be confident it’s nothing like claimed.

Indy : Noel Clarke says racism is ‘embedded’ in British society
was trending today so will be on BBC soon except his series is on Sky
Coincidentally he tweeted a movie poster
7 actors are named on it
6 are pictured
He’s been left off
A valid complaint maybe
but sometimes there are different posters for different areas etc.

Stew,is that the same Noel Clarke who got a part in Auf Wiedersehen Pet just because the BBC weren’t happy that the cast from the two original ITV series were all white so insisted on introducing some BAME.As the actor who played Wayne had sadly passed away they introduced his son into the series who just happened to be black.Now I could understand that as Wayne did put it about a bit but then we find out that Oz’s son is gay and a drag queen.Of course in the end Oz is proud of his son.Another great programme spoiled by the BBC once they’d got the diversity mitts on it.

Reviews of tomorrow’s newspaper headlines on the beeb and Sky tonight discussing the Guardian’s claim that 1000’s of e-mails from “angry” members of the public have been sent to M.P.’s about D.C. If I was a Tory M.P. I would do a sample analysis of about 100 and see if any are card carrying Tory party members and how many actually live in my constituency. Then I would check social media to see if I could establish the politics of the others.
Quite easy for Labour supporters to send me one e-mail but copy in loads of other M.P’s and hide the “c.c.’s”. This could be verified by contacting some of my fellow M.P.’s in case any had received an e-mail from the same person.
The Guardian is so desperate to keep this story alive.

I wrote an email to my Brexit supporting MP with my support for Mr Cummings and how he has been badly treated by the media and how supposedly MPs had lots of emails from their constituency asking for his sacking.
I was quite shocked to get his condescending reply actually going over every boring fact that we’ve heard for days and saying his mailbag has emails for and against him. Then he went on at some length about how he could resign or be fired .Dismissed the Labour and SNP MPs doing the same thing, also dismissed the child element.
I was really suprised by his attitude which confirms to me this is about more that the media, he has quite a few enemies on the Tory side.
My MP seems to be part of the ERG group and is common knowledge some of them have written letters asking for his dismissal. It’s a witch hunt and personal vendettas are being played out here.
If these MPs have any courage at all they will show their hand but we all know that is asking too much.
I am just wondering whether to reply to his email as he has shocked me with his attitude.

Cromwell, I think you are lucky to get a response. I wrote to my Brexit supporting MP to say I wasn’t angry about DC but the press (I am a member of the Conservative Party), it was not one of those letters that was copied and pasted. Other than the automated response to say he had received it, I have not had a response.

Doodle and thoughts on the news in America. Weirdly about 4 years ago I was considering moving to Minneapolis, ended up taking a different turn at that junction of life but it’s one of those ones where I wonder “what if” seeing as how it’s gone from being a very nice wealthy place to live to affluent suburbs surrounding a divided city that’s almost perpetually on the course of explosive racial violence.

Newsnight is not the only incredibly biased program on Al Beeb. Take Question Time and the various Anti Brexit commentators for the last four years. It would be a good exercise to list them all. We have been taken for fools by the broadcaster for to long and I suspect the people of Britain have had enough ? They are now being called “scum”. Time to pull the plug on them.

Warn the scientists! The scientists don’t realise!! The scientists don’t know!!!
“Risks in lockdown easing too soon, warn scientists.”
The Apostrophe Curse has now hit the BBC Commas. Oh no! Either that or the work experience kids have come to work at the BBC earlier than in previous years thanks to the Pandemic.

dafydd, I didn’t bother clicking on and reading it. If the BBC Executives and Editors cannot be bothered to sort out the complete horlicks that the Corp produces these days, then I cannot be bothered to waste my time on it. Thanks for the precis.

Don’t know if a reference has been posted before, but anyone with the inclination (and time) should watch this Delingpole podcast with Dolores Cahill, where she rightly rubbishes the lock-down and “social distancing” from the perspective of an immunologist.
She’s good, if a little strident, and a user of the word “so” to begin every sentence, but I can forgive her those, and hope she can progress her crusade against the daft MPs, biased press, and dodgy “scientists”.

Also, Trump is very good in this, where he dispenses with the services of the WHO (or at least cuts their funding). What I found most satisfying was at the end, when he just left, leaving the gathered press calling out questions to his departing back…

Before they closed, we spent the day with pupils to see what changes were being made.

Who is actually in charge or in control of Al Beeb ? That is the person responsible for the vitriolic and endemic bias throughout its programming. One can take a safe bet that person is an extremely well paid champagne socialist. Another safe bet is that the head of OfCom is of a similar type and both are working in tandem.

….fancy being a employee of the BBC and having centre right political views, you must work in fear of being found out…
How does the BBC vet people when hiring them…makes you wonder how the interview must go…
I suppose if you walk into the interview carrying a socialist news paper or wearing a a red tie with a Labour logo on it then the interview is done and dusted in seconds

Certainly ended up in the best place to hold to account only those who the BBC like held to account.
And, of course, not the BBC, as any Labour DCMS will be in no doubt.

Purnell a proven, tv verified, liar. At the time of some publicity regarding illegal donations to Labour (one of many instances), he appeared on Brillo’s Sunday show iirc saying the donation HAD already been repaid. Of course it hadn’t, and I don’t believe it ever was.
As a notorious liar he is undoubtedly aptly qualified to take up the most senior position at Al Beeb.

And…
“Meanwhile, photographers’ favourite Cabinet minister, James Purnell, has landed himself in a minor spot of hot water after it turned out he didn’t tell the truth on the radio at the weekend. Talking about the £650,000 in illegal donations from David Abrahams he said, “We’ve given the money back.”
One slight problem: Labour hasn’t. Oh dear James.”

A Guardian piece at around the same time concerns itself, hypocritically as always, only with minor breaches by Tories.

Also worth a reminder is that he did not get his senior BBC job by working his way up the industry but was parachuted straight in at the top having been the Labour culture secretary. And if I remember correctly, the post was not advertised and so not available to open competition.
Or as the BBC would no doubt argue, finding the best talent by the most transparent of processes.

Speaking of ‘parachuting’ in. Just look at Greg Dyke’s cv. He seems to love the title of Director of Chairman…………
He was the DIRECTOR GENERAL of the BBC from January 2000 to January 2004; was a DIRECTOR r of Manchester United and CHAIRMAN of Brentford football clubs, and from 2013 to 2016 was CHAIRMAN of the Football Association. He was Chancellor of the University of York from 2004 to 2015 and CHAIRMAN of the British Film Institute between 2008 and 2016.
He is currently the CHAIRMAN of children’s television company HiT Entertainment, and is a panellist on Sky News’ The Pledge.
In 2019, Dyke became CHAIRMAN of London Film School.
Labour supporter and utterly loathsome. So is he a bloody genius or just a jack of all trades, master of none – I prefer the second.
