Rang up TV licensing today. They start off by saying they are recording your calls.
So I recorded it from my side too.
When eventually got through I was polite enough to say I was doing the same as they were. Person on the other end got pissed off. I asked to speak to her supervisor, she cut me off.
So a complaint has gone in. They tried to fob me off with not making a complaint. I insisted, its now a formal complaint and a SAR has gone in for their tapes of the recording.
BBC’s complaints policy is virtually the same as that long practiced deception known as BBC ‘s ” Have your say”.

Sounds like a complete waste of everyone’s time.
Almost. The more costs you run up then the quicker they go bust.
I’ve been making a list as well. CEO of ITV and the emails and addresses of their top 10 advertisers. Each is going to get a letter saying sorry mate, I’ve stopped watching ITV because of the BBC. Bit tough on the woman running ITV, but the law is the law.
The BBC have broken the law on bias, so I’ve defunded them. Collateral damage means your advertising campaign on ITV goes the same way.
Perhaps if you campaigned to defund the BBC and force them to go subscription, you’ll get me back as a potential purchaser.

“The Premier League says its Black Lives Matter campaign is to send a message it is unacceptable to treat black people differently to anyone else – not an endorsement of a political movement.”
Oh Really!
The Movement is not new. Its aims are clear, online and very political. The PL knew this well before a single player subserviently knelt.
So quick to kneel, yet just as quick to distance the brand as the tide turns.
The fickle, morally corrupt world that is football. Their particular BLM statement was always one of simple equality, apparently. Well, in that case why didn’t ‘White lives matter’, last weekend?
Yes Venutius-The difference between the Premier League and
the BBC is that the Premier League says that it does not endorse
the political aims of the BLM organization. However the media
outlook for the Marxist , anarchist organization , the BBC DOES endorse their aims.
!
The premiere league clearly endorses the marxist campaign . It allowed the emblem and wording to be put on all shirts and stadium as well as players and referee staff going through that dumb pantomime at the beginning of each game to their collective insane shame .
The hypocracy is almost beyond belief .
If I had the money I would take out a full page advert in the newspapers, well those if any who had the courage to run it, of a screen shot of the BLM website setting out its organisational aims. Everyone in the country needs to know that it is a revolutionary group determined to wreck their lives, Black Lives is just a peg on which to hang their Marxist coat . I guess that many organisations are scared NOT to show their support for this bunch of Marxists. But they need to be reminded of what they are lending their name and brand to and their customers need to consider if they want to purchase from a company that supports overt Marxism.
The bbc cannot bring itself to criticize blm.
“But while ‘Black Lives Matter’ has become the slogan behind the protests, Black Lives Matter also exists as a global organisation, founded in 2013, with several goals including to advocate against white supremacy and police violence towards black people.”
The bbc only tell us two of the goals, no mention of ending our economic system, abolishing the police, end of the nuclear family etc.
You’d think the bbc were trying to hide something from us.
As for the cowards at the premier league, more interested in protecting the ‘brand’.
Might as well have had the socialist workers party printed on the shirts.
And believe me if they tried this nonsense when the stadiums were full there would be a awful lot of lifetime bans handed out.
Blacl Lives matter is a Democrat party agit prop + fund raising initiative.
Besides, all it does is to raise the hackles of people who are not Black. That is, Europeans, Asians, and Hispanics – the vast majority. I’m beginning to see this push back taking place ever more in public.
I complained to the Premier League re its support for Black lives Matter some weeks ago and got a very similar reply to the one quoted by Venutius via the BBC article.
I replied and patiently pointed out that BLM had been a political organisation and movement for some years, originated the Black Lives Matter slogan and are synonymous with it. Hence it is impossible for players to wear the slogan without implying support for the organisation and its politics as a whole. I ended by saying that the Premier League is clearly in breach of its own rules regarding political representation.
If the League couldn’t work out in advance what their BLM support was going to look like to the general public they must be staffed by idiots.
BLM got its oxygen when an innocent Black yute, Michael Brown, was shot dead by a White policeman in Ferguson, USA.
Fully agree. But I think it’s at least a small victory for common sense, and a small step in the right direction that they acknowledged it as a political movement, and distanced themselves from endorsing that.
The Prem league and Starmer and the BBC..no doubt to be followed by others have all had their virtue signalling knee jerk reaction come up and hit them in the chin…
All too stupid to check what they were siding with in the first place…
Dear Dave Hedgehog,
I think you give the Premier League and the many of those earning a very good wage far from it far too much credit. They are all too quick to virtue signal at every opportunity – one reason I have stopped watching football on TV – most of the time it turns into a virtue-fest.
They are a bunch of pillocks on the gravy train of a product that sells itself to the punters. I will be finding more useful and enjoyable things to do with my time from now on than to listen to these idiots and their political opinions, causing damage and confusion. Most of the people on this website knew about the political position of BLM.
PS: I wish there was a lot more ‘thinking footballers’.
If your mentality allows you to spend hours a day kicking a ball against a wall in order to develop the necessary skills to become a professional footballer how could you possibly be a “thinking” anything ?
Anyone know what position Surkeer is playing this weekend?
Probably left wing, but no relevant experience up front at No.10.
He’s also played as a left back [bench] and centre half [wit], achieving several recent wins in the ‘Own Goal of the Month’ competition.
Guest,
He’s out injured (dodgy knee), but I’d normally expect to see him in either of the following positions:
Striker; or
Sweeper (if there’s still room left under the Labour Party carpet)
BBC1 9:30pm trailer for : Mrs America

Not a surprise that the BBC bought it in.
Radio Times
Rob in Cheshire , apropos your comment on previous thread…
“I have been watching a programme called “The Luminaries” on BBC1”
I admire anyone who has ‘stuck with it’, one episode was enough for me, clearly no-one had put a shilling in the meter, as it was filmed almost in entire darkness, and again with the mumbling of the actors I had to resort to subtitles. That was aside from the “what the hell is going on?” storyline. I had high hopes but its another rubbish drama.
I recommend Perry Mason on Atlantic though.
Brissles:
Apparently it is adapted from some sort of modern novel, which is no doubt unreadable, but the BBC have managed to create more confusion.
A magistrate is played by a French actor. Is this relevant? Were Frenchmen often employed this way in the British Empire? Is it some sort of colour blind casting, or am I meant to make something of it?
It’s not all bad news though, I have just finished watching every episode of New Tricks from first to last. I am pretty sure if a character there was black or French, it was because they were meant to be black or French. That’s obviously too straightforward for the BBC these days.
Why do today’s producers of these series always mess about with timelines ? “The Luminaries” darts around the story making it impossible to understand what is going on , at what part of the story we are watching ,who the hell the various characters who suddenly appear are and what part they play in the plot.
These producers have read the whole story and presumably understand the plot, they spectacularly fail however to relate that to the audience.
When you read a novel do you ever begin by opening at a random page, reading the next two pages then randomly moving to another section either before or after that?
What on earth is wrong with following the timeline and plot from the beginning to the conclusion ? Maybe they think todays audiences won’t understand so it doesn’t matter anyway.
Towards the end of the last thread someone posted a Tweet from Patrick O’Flynn, former Ukip grandee.
I never listen to Radio 4 these days (blood pressure) but apparently Toady have been asking why the majority of police officers in our country are white. Phew, tricky one…
O’Flynn suggests that the BBC could be so immersed in their own distorted PC world view that they might not even know who actually lives in this country.
I honestly don’t think they do. These middleclass, lefty bubble dwellers feed off the effluence of their own propaganda. They rarely come into contact with real, white working class people. They enjoy chuckling over the knuckle dragging stereotypes that invariably pop up in dreadful BBC cop dramas. You know the sort of thing…the commander in chief will be some strident and capable BAME, usually female, barking orders to a bunch of inept white coppers. Tiresome and predictable.
And Beeboids might enjoy an episode or two of Eastenders, thinking it’s urban and gritty, but in fact it’s actually about as realistic as bleedin’ Star Trek.
The only time they meet us is when we’re driving their taxis or delivering their post. We are an alien species…
The brutal truth is the BBC and the rest of the lefty chattering classes despise the white working class. The left are disappointed in us because we’ve rejected their Marxism and their anarchy. We’re actually patriotic and they can’t forgive us for that.
There’s a repulsive shock jock, a really ugly brute, called James O’Brien, on LBC, who spews bile about Brexit, Trump and the Tories for three hours every day. He can’t get over the fact that his side always loses. These people can never win an election because we always see through them.
So, now they’ve got the idiots of BLM to use as cannon fodder. The perpetually aggrieved, thick as tree trunks, young blacks, that blame white society for their own inadequacies. If it wasn’t for slavery/racism, blah, blah, blah… Teachers and vast chunks of the media, particularly The Beeb are fomenting this dangerous delusion.
In the meantime the BBC seem to have forgotten that white Britain is of any relevance.
Perhaps they’ve also forgotten who pays the licence fee…
@Jeff
ALL the presenters on LBC are anti-Trump/Brexit etc.Even Ian Dale who has gone so far left its laughable.
Just listen to Theresa May’s EX ADVISER Tom Swarbrick who is on now.(10PM-1AM)
And he was an advisor to a CONSERVATIVE LEADER of this great country?
Dipped into Ferrari for a few mins
..he was having a sneer at Cummings
As did a so called “right wing” Scottish comedian on the Triggernometry podcast yesterday
Lucky,
Bit like the POTUS. He inherited ‘Staffers’ in the White House who were all schooled prior under Saint Obama in the latters Globalist/Communist aspirations. DT has been weeding ever since.
Great Post Jeff.
Jeff,
I agree with everything you say except the bit about ‘ we always see through them’ . If only that had been true way in 97 and we hadn’t put Blair in No10. The country would have been a very different place now. I’m afraid he and Brown , who I am convinced were cultural Marxists playing the long game, used the ten years of New Labour to do immense long term damage to this country by putting in place thousands of their supporters into key jobs in education, councils, civil service , quangos etc. These people aren’t accountable to the electorate and are largely unsackable, they form a liberal Blairite blob which still runs the country. This legacy army of Blairites can now subvert anything a government tries to do which they don’t agree with. Blair might have been gone for over ten years but his legacy is safe in their hands.
James O Bell makes me want to vomit. Listen to Mike Graham on Talk Radio instead. 10-1pm. Talk Radio are smashing LBC in the listening figures now.
Along with Mike Graham, I found Ian Collins listenable with common sense. It appears that LBC has been purged of non-woke presenters. Nick Ferrari and Julia Hartley-Brewer will be next?
My Alexa .Who is so used to hearing Effing tosser when O’Brien on the radio spewing hatred of anything he persevered to be against his God only knows believes, shuts down automatically.

Comment on Test and Trace dream
Bottomline your pregnant daughter didn’t get pregnant off a train seat.
It was either when she alone with someone for 20 minutes
or on the off chance a spatula was involved.
Likewise for Covid
Either you catch it by getting a slow viral load over 20 minutes
Or the quick route via someone coughing right in your face or onto your hand and then you jabbing your finger on your face.
Your Covid doesn’t go on to people you passed 1m away in the street nor those people who are in the shop with you for 2 minutes.. that’s Yellow Category
If you were in a room with a doctor or gas fitter for 20 mins they’d have been wearing a mask so I’d put them in the Yellow category, same for people on the bus.
If you were in your neighbours house inside for 20 minutes plus
then you could have given them a viral load.
Same for the person that uses a public toilet right after you ..That’s Amber Category people
Those people you coughed on
and those people you share living/working space or meal with with they are the Red category. same for a taxi driver, cos anyone in the same car for 20 minutes plus even wearing a mask in too vulnerable to get a viral load off you.
So if you get Covid
Your Contact list needs to have All the Red category people
and all the Amber category people
So a fancy app doesn’t need to track everyone you passed on the train station stairs for 1 second . It needs to know who you live or work closely with, and who you were with in the same room for 20 minutes with without a mask.
Blue tooth can’t really track that cos it doesn’t know who is wearing a mask nor whether a person is actually the other side of a wall from you.
Surely firms should get their employees to keep a daily diary of Amber contacts, cos most of the time it’s not going to be many.
You mean you can’t catch Covid from a car driving past at 30 mph, at a distance of 1.98 m from you?
Surely my local authority can’t be wrong?
Oh, I am so cross, we should have a mass protest outside the town hall!
Yep real world is not like the theoretical
You get stuck in a traffic jam for 15 minutes
and the contact tracing app starts logging the other drivers in bluetooth range as grade #1 Covid contacts.
BTW Zerohedge has a long article about such technicalities
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/problem-government-contact-tracing
I fear we are entering a new Dark Age and it will be fully with us sooner than many think.
Remember when Obama was elected? The BBC was crowing that the ‘down with the kids’ Obamba had leveraged ‘social media’ and now it would be impossible for the Republican party ever to win again? Google invented the term ‘fake news’ and Obama made it political.
Then along came Brexit and Donald Trump.
Social media had ‘swung it ‘ for those campaigns, the computer illiterate elderly had suddenly gone online and thrown away 40 and eight years experience respectively and been ‘influenced’ by Russian ‘bots’ as no righteous person would ever have voted against ‘remain’ or Hillary!
Trump got elected and started using ‘fake news’ and social media against the Marxist Mob and they were furious. It must never happen again.
So what do we see, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube bans. These ‘common carriers’ move from being mere channels, like a telephone company, to being de facto publishers. But more than that they are have become ‘book burners’ – let’s erase history, let’s pull down some statues, let’s just delete 14 years of content.
All of these ‘Silicon Valley’ organisations, started in the backroom, beacons of freedom, ‘putting it to the man’, have morphed into the authoritarian mob, there is only one orthodoxy anything else is heresy and will be destroyed. (I see that the Mozilla Foundation, that touts its independence from ‘big tech’ in the last few days has been dropping in ‘black’ and ‘lgbt etc.’ messages in its browser, what’s that about? Is it a coincidence that Google renamed itself Alphabet Inc. [LGBQT+]?).
Today I was speaking to what I always regarded as a sensible relative in Canada. Informed by CBS, she tells me that the USA isn’t a safe place because Covid-19 is rampant because ‘Trump’ didn’t believe in it. The BBC here has been putting out similar messages that it is all Johnson’s fault. (My feeling is that a disease more or less does what a disease does, especially if paracetemol and paper masks are your only weapon). New Zealand, all sheep and a million miles from anywhere, is OK because it is run by the Marxist Muslim prophet Jacinda Ardern.
Just see, there are three months to the US elections. Plugs will be pulled. One Folk, One Message, One government.
I could not agree more
they are as illiterate as those in the dark ages apart from choice Anglo Saxon rants when contronted with opposition
Also more than a little in common with Cromwell’s puritans who trashed statues (you can still see the damage in churches and cathedrals today)
puritans who perversely promote some strange sexual “rights” whilst sniffing their hippy crack and showing complete intolerance to diversity of thought and opinion
puritans who have never been taught to clean up after themselves and leave trails of litter and crap wherever they roam
who have completely and utterly no idea of history especially when it comes to slavery and racism where it does not involve white British males
who completely and utterly ignore racism and sexism alive and flourishing today in certain sectors of this country where it does not involve white British males
All goes to indicate the hypocrisy, general stupidity and downright dishonesty of the far left
Not to worry. They are behind the curve again, as everyone has moved to Tik Tok. I’m bombarded with conservative pro Trump, anti liberal videos when I scroll through there.
YouTube is, and always will be, the red pill factory. Loving the Hodge Twins at the moment and Daisy Cousins.
Tik Tok, you say? ????
I’d love to read the comments on her video though. If she was brave enough to leave them on…
I see that the BBC are obsessed with the Eurovision movie currently being shown on NETFLIX.
They reviewed it and gave it 2 stars last week not funny, stupid etc etc….
Now its No 1 movie on NETFLIX so who is in touch with TV audiences???
You see the movie takes the micky out of the whole event an event that has been taken over as one of the BLGTQ events of the year and the BBC is so out of touch it doesn’t get satire…..And the central character isn’t BME or Gay so it didn’t tick many BBC boxes.
So the point is the BBC hate it and have expended more column inches knocking it than any other film review i have ever seen yet the viewing public, there so called audience love it.
They are probably planning an alternative film for the bubble staring Nish Kumar (who else) as the UK first Muslim Eurivision Entry who overcomes Far Right prejudice to win it singing a song about Trump, Grenfall and climate change.
They are so out if touch its not true.
Pakistani Aitlines banned from EU for six months.
They have failed to implement a SMS (Safety Management System) requirement and also most of their pilots don’t have valid licences lol
So ill just check on the BBC to see if this is reported……nope can’t find it….no story to report and nothing to do with trying to land a plane without putting the wheels down and Ramadan wasn’t a contributory factor so its a none story…….move on nothing to see here ..
Reporting in from Reading, where a certain aspiring architect/doctor/rapper is up in court for defending himself from attackers by stabbing three to death with a kitchen knife that everybody carries around as a matter of course. The local paper even seems to report as little as possible, whilst the comments section, where allowed, has been hijacked by the usual stereotypes blaming the government, the mental health ‘professionals’ and everybody else except for the ultraviolent, alcohol loving, drug dealing, shoplifting follower of the medieval death cult. Half the town centre is still closed, whilst evidence is being gathered, despite dozens of witnesses being available. A shame the local police weren’t armed, would have saved the taxpayer a few quid.
Forgot to add that that BBC has long since gone.
Some small victory for common sense with the Premier League officially distancing itself from BLM:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8475969/Premier-League-distances-Black-Lives-Matter-saying-does-not-endorse-group.html
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8476505/Premier-League-stars-hold-fears-links-official-Black-Lives-Matter-organisation.html
The group has grown into a fully fledged political movement, with opinions on everything from the economy to the middle east. And as such, football teams and organisations have no business endorsing such movements.
Also kudos to some of the players and pundits who realised that.
Common sense is not digging a hole and rolling around at the bottom before having to crawl out.
The Premier League said it recognised ‘the importance of the message that black lives matter’ but made clear that it ‘does not endorse any political organisation or movement, nor support any group that calls for violence or condones illegal activity’
I’m prepared to accept this lame excuse from some people of low intelligence, but not from those who have constantly mouthed off or virtue-signalled about it, and certainly not from anyone who purports to represent constituencies (MPs) or, even worse, to lead a political party.
Surely any competent person or organisation would have examined the bandwagon before they jumped on it! Even a cursory look at the BLM website would have shown its unashamedly Marxist agenda. That Sky , Linacher and Suckhere Starmer didn’t shows that they are incompetent or that they actually agree with the overthrow of capitalism. I suspect that Sky were just incompetent but the other two I’m not so sure.
It’s not as if people such as myself didn’t tell them via their virtue-signalling Twitter feeds. They have no excuse for not knowing.
Has one single player on the field refused to bend the knee? I think not.
This girl has more balls than the lot of them.
I rather suspect she cannot kneel perhaps due to an injury, but she is still having the arm pose across her chest, (I saw the larger picture some time ago), so she remains in solidarity.
Samantha Leshnak-Murphy, back-up goalkeeper for North Carolina Courage, doing the traditional hand-on-heart pose for the US national anthem. Despite standing, she’s still wearing a BLM T-shirt.
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nwsl-goalkeeper-praise-standing-national-anthem
Never, ever let it be forgotten in the future that these weasels who signalled their virtue by wearing a BLM badges were the likes of Jamie ‘The Spitter’ Carragher, Jamie ‘Totally Overrated’ Redknapp and the thug himself Roy Keane! ????????
Never forget these 3 sided with an organisation that wants to defund the police and end capitalism… and they work for SKY ????
For a few weeks at the end of May 2020 they didn’t side with hard working white people who must make up at least 95% of an average Premier League season’s attendances, but with a Marxist organisation ????
Never let them forget that ????????

Al Beeb – “Huawei: Ministers signal switch in policy over 5G policy”………………

Why didn’t he say that when he was in his office ?
Yes I know, “ lessons to be learned” .
Shouting something ‘unintelligible’ was the initial line I think, unintelligible before or after being ‘spoken’ to I wonder. Breitbart manage to report the whole story.

“That they are absolutely not interested in a national airline with an HR policy only June Sarpong could dream of, or any odd goings on in Reading, but are obsessed with trashing a comedy that spoofs one of their sacred cows?”
“Very good, Tim. Here’s upwards of six hundred k to hide in a bunker and issue statements from spokesweasels that all is being got about right”.
Is he allowed to say that? (Either of them!)

The BBC Through the Looking Glass
I don’t know about you but I’m finding the Leicester Lockdown rather amusing – or rather our friends at the BBC’s awkward stuttering attempts to explain the outbreak.
Our pal Nick Triggle, Heath Correspondent, ties himself in incoherent linguistic PC knots trying to protect BBC parti pris positions.
‘Leicester as a whole is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country, with about half of its residents from ethnic minority groups’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53235709
See there how he confuses and elides culture and ethnicity. The point being Leicester is far from diverse. There are two distinct groups. Muslim Pakistanis and English whites.
Poor old Humpty-Dumpty Triggley-Wiggley
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
Asiseeit
Bearing in mind that the whole NHS has been on a singing and dancing war footing for 4 months you’d think they’d have published the stats for the Leicester hospital number of covid cases by race as well as deaths by age and race so the rest of us who are still making a ‘sacrifice ‘ – and will be paying for the thing for years –

Woman, 22, who had ‘sexual contact’ three times with a boy, 14, who she met on the internet avoids jail after judge says ‘there was genuine affection’ between the pair
Sophie Johnson, 22, was communicating online with the 14-year-old boy
Newcastle Crown Court ignored repeated warnings about the youngster’s age
She admitted having sexual contact with the boy over the period of a few days
She received a three-year community order and five years on the sex register

Darcy,
It’s just the latest example of the judiciary showing sympathy to deviants. This country is edging ever closer to the normalisation of paedophilia.
I know one shouldn’t judge a book by its’ cover, but looking at her photo from the article she doesn’t strike me as being particularly sensible or law abiding looking.
And I doubt the 14 year old boy would have crowed to his mates about what he’d done either.
Not BBC but not far off
The deadline for another extension of being tied to the EU passed at midnight last night . … it seems we really are leaving the EU – finally – at the end of 2020- one of the better bits of news – with the BBC celebrating all day today . ….
…. but still suspicious of the Remainers …..
Silence from the bBC.
But pity poor Layla.
The second reading of her Bill intended to extend the implementation period is on 10 July.
Oh how we laughed.
PMQ watch
Potentially a strong day …( for those who care – l just see it as indoor cricket ) Leicester – new deal – Chinese 5G – sedwell – NHS killing babies – travel corridors – 4th July unlock – dodgy Tory ministers – Marxist momentum campaign —— that’s a lot to get ready for …..
Its not BBC but ITV
Doing a story on Leicester – so they put a picture of Leicester Square – which is appatently in the smoke – courtesy of Media Guido on twitter …

New York City votes to cut $1BILLION from the NYPD budget – after cops clash with protesters outside ‘City Hall Autonomous Zone’ for a seventh day as demonstrators say the move is not enough
The New York City Council voted to pass the 2021 budget on Tuesday cutting $1billion from police funding
A majority of 32 lawmakers voted via teleconference to pass the budget minutes shy of the midnight deadline, and 17 voted against it
$484M will be cut from the department’s $6billion operation budget while another $354M will be shifted to education and social services
Mayor Bill de Blasio supported the $88.2 billion spending plan, but some critics said the cut wasn’t a billion dollar cut at all and merely shifted police functions
It comes amid days of protests and a week-long encampment established outside City Hall that is being called the ‘City Hall Autonomous Zone’, echoing Seattle’s CHAZ
Video footage captured violent clashes between cops and protesters ahead of the vote on Tuesday

Any surprise there ? In view of the big private security industry in America – and the hostility raised by the unthinking MSM – people able to leave would do so . I bet that is reflected in the UK as well . The idiot plod kneeling will also have done no favours .
More important than the colour scheme of the body wearing the uniform methinks … but others think that is all that matters . … IReckon private Security will be increasing while the Nonsense plod hate crime units continue to expand
The FA backtracking from BLM
Football Podcaster Jonny Gould is on Talk Radio now ripping into them
“This madness has created division”
Here’s his thread.
This follows yesterday mornings anti-BLM tweet from former player Karl Henry
We are being fed the line that just like ‘Islam’ – good, ‘Islamist’ – bad, ‘black lives matter’ – good, ‘Black Lives Matter’ – bad.
Look at the shoulder patch, with the clenched fist, that is pure ‘Black Power’ dating from the ‘Black Panther’ days:
“The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP) was founded in 1966 in Oakland, California by college students Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. It was a revolutionary organization with an ideology of black nationalism, socialism, and armed self-defense.”
A failure to carry out ‘Due diligence’ suggests missing the small print on page 202 of Vol. 9 of their charter, but the purpose of BLM is written on the front cover in 36 point text, underlined and in bold!
A few days ago the msm including the BBC were all indignant about a nasty white couple pointing a gun at peaceful BLM protestors in St Louis.
Needless to say the couple subsequently received a torrent of abuse and threats, but worst of all they were threatened with prosecution by the highly political, black Attorney for St Louis.
Here they tell their side of the story.

A question on the BBC site.
Gauff V Becker. Who is your favourite Wimbledon teen sensation?
Well I know who’ll be the winner because the replies they print will be written by people with the memory spans of Goldfish. However, has she won it yet?
And at the risk of schadenfreude, Tennis is a fickle mistress, those who display early potential have actually already peaked, others keep improving year on year. With 2020 effectively scrubbed out who’s to know whether the BBC favourite will return on fire or as a damp squib?
Woolwich, er, ummh, my ageing goldfish-type memory recalls that one Bjorn Borg (at 16) played in the Mens Tournament as a teen, and I think Evonne Goolagong and Chris Evert also played as teens at Wimbledon in the Ladies Tournament. I could be wrong on any or all of those.
Then there is Hanna Mandlikova and the younger Swedes, Edberg and Jarryd, who might have experienced the adult tournaments as teens. Then there’s also the French woman with the great sense of humour whose name I cannot remember. Aaughh! It may come to me …
@Snuff
Maureen Connolly?
Retired at 20
Died at 34
Lucky, quite right but I was thinking of those in my lifetime & struggling with my faulty memory. But at least I have now remembered Mary Pierce for some strange reason. 🙂 Prompted by you, perhaps?
Up2,
Mats Wilander won the French Open at 17 if my memory serves me well
Van, was the list restricted to Wimbledon teens? If Wilander won the French, would that have got him an automatic entry to Wimbledon as a seed?
Now you’ve got me going. What age was Ivan Lendl when he debuted in the Mens’ Championship?
Up2,
Wilander was seeded 7th at Wimbledon in 1982. He was still two months shy of his 18th birthday when the tournament kicked off.
According to Wikipedia, Lendl was 19 when he made his senior debut at Wimbledon.
John McEnroe was another one who played at Wimbledon as a teen. Indeed, he reached the semi-finals at the first time of asking, at age 18.

Possible Bradford lockdown coming
Last night on ITV local an Asian doctor warned about second wave
He gave an example of Bradford having 54 new admissions
On probing that turned out to be one third of the admissions for the entire Yorks Humber region of 6 million people.
Tried to make a comment about bending the knee at football matches on guido and was rejected as toxic . What happened to free speech. I was critical of it and saying it should be stopped. Very worried That free Speech only works one way

I still read Guido, well worth the money.
I stopped “contributing”, all my posts went down the Orwellian plug hole.
Large response to the 3 million new immigrants Boris is inviting with more alacrity than he has ever displayed before.
How the beeb waste your money.
Apologies if posted before.
It’s SO clear, the licence fee needs to be done away with, pronto. It being ‘compulsory’ has led to such an abuse of licence -fee money, it’s unreal!
Why has this gutless ‘conservative’ government not taken any steps yet?
That’s OK it’s the Alex Belfield video I have posted before
And comes from his collections of hundreds of FOIs he got from the BBC
Vine asked for £1000 to use for a memorial do, but the money wasn’t used
so instead of giving it back, Vine said he gave it to charity.
If the BBC was a private business, then the boss could hand out £1000 for a charity thing like fund a memorial dinner
And then if it turned out the dinner had already been paid for
the boss could say ‘OK donate the money to this other charity instead’
And he might well do that cos he’s claiming the money off tax anyway.
I can’t see how the BBC could do the same.
However I do hope Belfield isn’t being vengeful here.
I do hate it when people write someone off completely. IMHO Belfield does a lot of good stuff, but he does have a revenge thing going on with Vine over Vine ‘s 10 May tweet against him
..when Vine took anti-Belfield’s gangs line.
One aspect of the spat is that the StageBlog guy reads an email wrongly ..When Belfield says that the BBC’s legal department are handing the case he’s talking about that they are acting for the BBC presenter who withdrew accusations against Belfiend. The Stageblogguy reads it the other way that Belfield is saying he is setting a big BBC legal team on him. The StageBlogGuy plays the victim on that and of course the LGBT theatre community jump into back him up, cos they hate Belfield for being against “tickboxing”.
It’s a rabbit hole .
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – We did it to Brexit, we did it to Trump, why not the PM?
The BBC are really out to get Bojo as PM. This fact checking malarkey is coming at one a day at the moment. Well BBC, if taking a pop at the PM makes you feel better, why not?
It turns me off.
Shame the BBC did not Fact Check Tony Blair and Gordon Brown to the same extent.
Ideological buddies?
‘BBC, if taking a pop at the PM makes you feel better, why not?’
The point to fact checking is to catch out minor untruths. Not big lies like socialism would be good for us. We don’t really care so much what politicians say, it’s more what they do that is important. Fact checking is essentially a low hanging fruit opposition political tactic, not really appropriate to an unbiased broadcaster – unless evenly applied across the political spectrum.
AISI “not really appropriate to an unbiased broadcaster” that’s it, you’ve hit the nub, the BBC are biased otherwise they would not do it. A neutral news organisation would leave it to the Opposition and other Parties in Parliament and merely report the ‘He says, She says, He says, They say’ and leave it at that.
I think the BBC need the boost of ‘an upper’ (Purple Heart?) to get them going and so they have to have a pop at Trump or Bojo as a sort of starter pill.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – What is good for the gander is also good for …
… the BBC. The Home Page of the web-site has an item with the title ‘City gets green light for zip wire attraction and shows a photo of a female from behind, leaving a cage above a desert & mountainous landscape. The item is under the heading ‘Society’ (a new one for the BBC HP) and is news for England.
Funny, didn’t think we had deserts in England, ‘Green and pleasant land’ and all that and certainly not in an English city. Click bait worked. I discover that the city to get the zip wire is Liverpool!
BBC, if you are going to Fact Check the PM, you had better Fact Check yourselves first and make sure your output is completely and totally correct.
The basting tray with the BBC goose on it is heading for that pre-heated oven. Keep it going.
A man has been arrested for the murder of two sisters who later were photographed in a selfie by police officers.
We have not been informed of the skin colour of the man by the racially conscious BBC.
The murder did feature in Ch 4 news last night where a Bishop of Colour was pressed by the interviewer to say that the selfie taking was racist.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53238446
I see the chap was aged 18 – so they are going to have to name him.
Aaaaaaaaand it’s……….
Antifa fascist gobsh@tes, the unwashed extinction rebellion and assorted blm thugs must be watching in envy at how China deals with those who dare criticise and say the “wrong things” in Hong Kong today
It is the way they would like to enforce their twisted views upon us without a doubt and the evidence is all around us on social media and the streets of London, Glasgow and Cambridge
And for some reason the far left racist bbc is all over it yet fail to see the protests on the streets of Paris every week for the last year
wurld klass gernaliss indeed
BBC News at One: Report on the coronavirus spike in Leicester, and apart from one two-second shot of the outside of an Asian shop, it’s a news article populated entirely by white people, including a pub with St. George pennants!
They are literally trying to convince us that black is white!
and a black footballer from decades ago who did not play for England, boo hoo stirring up yet more racial hatred
Darcy3,
They are covering the same story on ITV News, Jack Leslie of Plymouth Argyle, called up for England in 1925, but “it is widely believed” he was dropped when the FA realised the colour of his skin.
@mattewsyed on Talk Radio said he worked hard and invested his money, then we he stood for MP for Labour
he was told ‘Never mention that you have a second home’
FFS I expect a lot of of Asian MPs have property portfolios too
R4 Twato…How black music culture changed the USA
It is funny how the likes of beyonce claim it is so racist…and tells people to vote like their lives depend on it..
Not only is she a multimillionaire..with lots of white fans – the BBC implication is that Black people should vote against Trump…when reality is that most of black problems are in democrat places…
BBC also just focuses on 1950/60 racism with implication all following issues are due to white racism – forgetting that quite a few of the musicians they played died of drugs or were killed by another black person.
Easy to paint a one colour picture. When will the BBC start being balanced and objective…
Won’t hold breath
[ It is nowhere near 8 p.m. on a Thursday but any excuse is a good one! ]
Am not a fan of U2 but I love this.
I wonder why?
Yep…they like to argue black is white…
I am so tired of the constant BBC narrative
When will they have some of the black people who don’t believe in their victim status on their shows….never is the answer
SG,
“…… I expect a lot of of Asian MPs have property portfolios too”
Yeah, where they have to exercise their dual passports to visit, ‘home’….
“…… I expect a lot of of Asian MPs have property portfolios too”
Homes Under The Hammer are full of them. BLM clearly don’t watch the programme or they’ll see that their communal colleagues are in far great numbers at the auctions than whites !
Just been for my walk to the Post office for my well done bacon barm as you do when furloughed.
As I’m walking past the park I notice some graphics and posters put up by Calderdale Council. Now these posters show cartoon people in a group with a big RED Cross through it ….no groups etc….then I noticed all the faces of the cartoon group where white !! Now every other graphical representation of people used by the council be it public transport, schools or benefit advice always shows a BME face and usually one in a headscarf but on the covid posters its just naughty white people congregating and flouting the law, you would never see BME people doing that and it would be racist to suggest so.
Hows Leicester going on ? And didn’t I hear Bradford was one day off going into lockdown? Perhaps its because the posters didn’t warn the BME community of the risks.
See its all the white councils fault they didn’t include BME people in their awareness campaign…..nasty.
Just down the road we have an Indian subcontinental shop with a tremendous selection of Ingredients for said regional cooking.
At the till I asked a question. The guy could not understand me. I tried to make my question simpler. No joy. He called over a colleague and there then a painstaking 3-way translation activity.
So if we have immigrants unable and potentially unwilling to understand English. Then a. How do they follow Coronavirus rules and b. Is there any wonder BAME cv19 deaths exceed those for domestic whities – a factor noticeably absent from the death rate waycism discourse.
Sluff…it is your fault you should learn their language to make them feel included…you racist
Ever been called for Jury Duty Sluff? there are pages of notes to adhere to, but also an A4 size sheet giving the instructions in a dozen different languages.
This is laughable to me, because if British Subjects need a translation sheet to inform them of procedure, then how the hell can they sit on jury of 12 and be able to follow the English proceedings, and in turn being able to confidently come to a fair verdict ???
Law and Order Party … ha ha ha ha ha ha … BBC Comedy Gold …
