The BBC loves a statistic . On Twitter a bbc employee crowed that on average 438 million non UK people visit BBC News each week . And the instant response ? But they don’t have to pay for the monster ….if they want it – let them pay for it – don’t make the british taxpayer fund it through threats and prosecution .
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2020/global-reach
And – of the 1495 people employed by The Guardian – the BBC in print 180 are to be fired .
One for clear evidence of lefty bias
Daily Mail has report of Panorama being found to have breached editorial guidelines by failing to disclose a ‘ doctor ‘ was in fact a labour party candidate for becoming an MP – who happened also to be a ‘ doctor ‘
If reported here already – apols – but this one is for the record come the call for tangible evidence of BBC Bias ….
Goal!!
Justice for Owen Jones, attacked by far far far right thugs
From the Guardian
‘In a victim impact statement, Jones said that while the injuries he sustained healed rapidly, there had been a longer lasting psychological impact. Despite previously being on the receiving end of online abuse, it was the first time he had been subject to a physical attack.
Philip McGhee, prosecuting, said Jones believed it was “harder to ignore online threats now” and that “he no longer feels he can walk alone, and will take taxis even for short distances as on account of this attack he feels at risk”.’

David Vance was asked on his periscope last night for four names for his ‘dinner party from hell.’
His reply was Abbott, Lammy, Jezza and little Owen.
For once the judiciary have meted out some pretty harsh justice.
I think most of us saw Owen Jones after this “assault”…and there didn’t seem to be a mark on him. Of course not all bruises show and I’m not implying he wasn’t roughed up, however…I think I’ve had tougher experiences back in the seventies when Fulham were playing Millwall. And I’ve still got the scars. Anyway…
Here’s hoping that the three young Pikies, who were yesterday (amazingly!) cleared of murdering the young PC, after driving for over a mile! at breakneck speeds along narrow country lanes while the poor sod was lashed to the vehicle, will also receive lengthy sentences. It beggars belief that this wasn’t deemed a murder. You do wonder just who is on the jury.
As far as I can see this was as close to being a southern style lynching as I’ve ever witnessed. They could have stopped the car at any time. What did they think would happen to their victim?
Imagine the immense media outcry if something similar had happened to a black man. The BBC would have been reporting on this day and night. You’d never hear the end of it. There’d be endless protests, documentaries and “demonstrations”. I don’t think there would be a statue still standing.
If you can receive two years and eight months for giving wee Owen Jones a slap that registered no visible injuries, then how long should these loathsome, cowardly brutes be going down for the “manslaughter” of this decent young PC?
I’ll be frank with you.
I’d give each one of them a very, very long stretch…
Jeff.
When you get 2 weeks in prison for urinating in a public place.
When you get a year(? wasn’t it) for leaving a piece of bacon near a mosk (ultimately it was a life sentence)
When you get this sentence for hitting owen…..
Then the sentence for these murderers should be at least life …
or was the very long stretch referring to their necks.
I’d reckon the ‘long stretch’ might be sideways, and that prison soap futures would double pretty damn quick…
But then I always live in hope!
This has been very badly received where i live. You are absolutely correct. if the victim had been black there would have been nationwide riots.
A short sudden stretch would be even better.
“healed rapidly”
The only wounds that have ever healed quicker were the bullet holes sustained by the Robert Patrick Terminator in T2……….
I think a sentence above 2 years and the lawyers will be in overdrive seeking an Appeal. We can only hope that those 3 will cop for it in a dark alley one night.
Care to chip in with a few bob to support Jeremy’s fund? BBC reporter is suing our JC Over £200,000 in already

It is reported that John Ware a reporter for Panorama is taking legal action for libel against former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The relentless attacks on Mr Corbyn, a man of integrity, honesty and humility cannot be allowed to continue and we have an opportunity here to offer him support in a practical way. It will also let him know that his supporters have not forgotten him, nor have they gone away.

I am amazed that the BBC is reporting on the anti-Semitism
of black grime rapper Wiley. I thought at this juncture with
BLM that our black brothers and woke followers could
act and say what they like, carte blanche without any
repercussions . Or maybe they can?
Here is a quiz question for you:
The judicial system in Britain is:
a) as biased as the bbc, or
b) biased, but less biased than the bbc, or
c) biased, but more biased than the bbc?
No all of the above option? Then I’m stumped on multiple guess questions.
The judicial system like the BBC is governed by white guilt
so is desperate to virtue signal to the woke-supremacists
Hence where we get two tier justice
where Green/Red skin can harass, swear, smash up as much as they want
.. and walk free
whereas purple skins get thrown in jail for peeing near a war memorial or for twice shouting at Anna Soubry
… or standing in the street near a court building reading out info from a newspaper already in the public domain.
We of course do pay attention.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/young-people-have-never-paid-attention-to-the-bbc
Ok, not the kind they want.
“Listen, you old gammon
.. We want you to PAY … but not have SAY” …said a BBC spokesperson
BBC Kiddywinks still have got what it takes.
This is setting twitter alight.
Woof! as Katty, Laura or BS are prone to exclaim.

“Boris Johnson changes tone over handling of pandemic”
He could do worse than ask himself “what would Maggie have done?” and act accordingly, obviously ego and ideology would never permit.
Oldspeaker- if only we had MAGGIE now; a few butts would get kicked…
I would love to have seen an interview with Laura and Maggie. Laura would have been chewed to pieces. Condescended and dismissed like a moronic school girl.

I came across this little nugget of BBC self delusion in an article on Scotlands debate on criminalising hate speech.
“As you are reading this news story on the BBC news website I am going to hazard a guess that you probably believe that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. And that you think without the right to free speech many other freedoms may be threatened?”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-53526843
Which leaves me lost for words!
Interesting idea – criminalising a human emotion. I suppose the ‘ love ‘ police will follow on from the ‘ hate detectives’ .
I wonder why this woman didnt just follow in daddys footsteps and be a Far Left politician with a scots accent ?
Further to an earlier merits/con’s of RT news.

Akkad is live now
..doing his “you get what you F..ing Deserve” show about Wiley
BTW Wiley’s Twitter account is still working
It just seems to have 2 tweets deleted.
Akkad pointed out that the Big Voice the BBC bring on is
“Former Labour MP and now Lord John Mann ”
who says “this is enabling the far right”
“fascists are jumping on the bandwagon”
WTF ..talk about whataboutery
… ah his job is to muddy the water
“We need more leglistation”

and works with the filmcrewss
eg they distract sea lions and she comes up behind them
“Misha is the most photographed polar bear in history.
Give or take Paddington, Baloo and a few notoriously asexual pandas, she is also by far the most famous.”
but she has lost two cubs
One was shot aft it trampled a Czech tourists tent
Another died in a scientists failed attempt to tranquillise it
Editorial
That Times polar bear Editorial
Ended with a wacky takeaway line
“Thanks to mineral exploitation and climate change, the global population is DOWN to about 25,000.
With that in mind her fans might do well to leave her alone for a while”
Did WWF PR write that line ?
cos Polar bears are not down to 25,000 rather they have risen from 7,000 to 25,000 .. the direction is UP not down.
Who’d want to be a policeman eh? With the national broadcaster constantly agitating against you, accusing you of racism at every opportunity, and inciting and encouraging violent demonstrations (riots) against you.
When one of your colleagues gets killed, the killers get off a murder charge while the beeb relegates the story to ‘Regions’.
The BIG story, you see, is that someone may have been falsely charged, briefly, until charges were dropped. Why the Home page treatment? He was a ‘traveller’, so it’s back to racism. Always, always racism.
“PC Andrew Harper death: Innocent man’s family ‘torn apart’ by murder charge”
You know who else was ‘torn apart’? PC Andrew Harper. Literally.
R.I.P. Andrew.

This is one of those events that have really got to people. There is a deal of anger .
The BBC report seems to have left out the matter of the texts that were sent by the person in the story that lead to his arrest. . wonder why?
The Guardian does though. Which is odd .
Yes RIP – too higher price to pay .
Many caucasions were vocal in the arrest, treatment and death of George Floyd, an ex convicted felon. Strange how the silence is deafening from the black community about the death of a white police officer in equally horrendous circumstances.
Sargon mentions Terry Crews
.. and says he took down his own video
cos Youtube doesn’t like such stuff
Turns out Terry like a lot of black people can see through BLM.
I’ve just heard that this Wiley geezer, someone whose talents have until now escaped me, was awarded the MBE for “services to music.” WTF!
He’s a “grime artist” so I’m informed, which is some sort of (c)rap mumbler. A bloke stands at a microphone, chuntering away using strained and vaguely rhyming obscenities and we’re supposed to believe he’s an artist.
I feel like I’m living thorough the last days of western civilisation. Our elite are in thrall to the barbarians. There are lots of these appalling white liberal pseuds, working for the BBC, Guardian, et al, waffling on about graffiti “artists” and rap “musicians” and equating this ugly and brutal backward trash with fine European art and music.
I just hope that most of us can see that the emperor is stark bollock naked…
People can study their chosen musical field for decades and receive no recognition and little reward. And yet this gormless, talentless, racist bonehead…
Next they’ll be telling us that Tracy Emin is a serious artist.
Oh, hang on…
I remember my darling Dad and his contemporaries scratching their heads as my generation sang along with the Beatles, Hollies and Kinks in our bedrooms, when he compared their ‘wailing’ to his idols – Sinatra, Crosby, Como, Martin, and the groups were not the Benny Goodman/Duke Ellington,/Glen Miller that he would dance to.
BUT, leaving aside the ‘generational’ thing and the fact that music changes, those 60’s groups and the 30 years before and 20 years since, spawned music that had ‘melody’, had understandable lyrics (although who knows what Coming Together, the Beatles is all about, but great song), and you could dance to them.
Today’s ‘stuff’ has neither attributes, and in the opinion of most people is barely recognisable as ‘music’.
Now I’m of an age myself, I appreciate the music that my Dad enjoyed. And can see the pull of Sinatra – of whom its been said that a large portion of the population of the world was conceived to his music. And isn’t it telling ? that many adverts use those songs from another era to promote their products . Will grime/rap still be heard in another 50 years ? and who remembers that other fad in music that we no longer hear – punk, whatever happened to that ?
The first record I bought Senora O’Blene was ‘High Society’, as she just loved all the songs!
…but she already had all the Beatles albums…
‘Come together’ – aaaah, instant recall of the place in Dulwich, train to Victoria, (3/6), cheap snags and spuds for dinner, and twenty Gold Leaf. We forced our richest flatmate to buy ‘Abbey Road’ for us!
Punk? Only memory is some vacant moron standing outside Canterbury Cathedral looking like a real p***k.

Love the one about the Ginger and the bird!
Is it safe to try R4 yet?
Had to switch off cos it was Wimmin’s Hour.
Unbelievable, that the equality obsessed beeb still dare run this blast from the past, without any shame or embarrassment.
At the VERY LEAST, they should run a ‘Men’s Hour’, if they find themselves quite unable to dispense with the special hour for women! That would be a vague but minimal gesture for our gender DISCRIMINATING public broadcaster to make.
‘Wimmin’s Hour’ is an ANACHRONISM, which proves what huge hypocrites they are. They have gone overboard for some blind equality obsession, yet this offensive Murray/Garvey team is still at it.
Once upon a time it wouldn’t have worried me, but now we have female presenters everywhere, including commentary on MEN’S football and cricket.
And talking about football and cricket, what a pathetic offering from beeb on those scores! A great deal of talking heads about what happened in the past, sandwiched in between all the other repeats and repeats of repeats of repeats.
And now, knowing no shame at all, they’re about to hammer the over 75s!
I can’t tell you how much they disgust me.
Rod Liddle on Islamist terror
“Red Bull refuses to go woke.
Red Bull has fired some of their woke executives for pushing the BLM BS”
Why they are so intent on getting to the UK, ignoring several safe countries en route is a question the BBC never ask !!!!
But the BBC do like to ask why our school class sizes are increasing, why there is a lack of housing , why there is such a strain on the NHS, why the welfare budget is going through the roof !!!!
Putting 2 and 2 together seems impossible at the BBC !!!!
“Putting 2 and 2 together seems impossible at the BBC !!!!”
Could be a good reason for that Doob.
““You are a slow learner, Winston.”
“How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”

Garvey! Formally married to spud face Chiles. Good taste in men.
OT. But then again…..
Just watching a C5 prog. about Glasgow Central railway station.
A driver is joshing with a cleaner he knows.
He refers to him as Lily Savage.
They are mates and there is no issue.
But in wokeland, this could be ageism ( the cleaner used to be a train driver and has returned to work aged over 65).
It could be sexist or anti-gay (inferences to Paul o Grady)
It could be transgenderism ( references to Lily Savage).
Now imagine said cleaner was black.
Now we would just have one -ism. Racism.
And the number counter would go up by one.
And BLM would have another statistic.
Racism thus carries an economy of scale, quite irrespective of the ‘offence’ either intended or caused.
And the lazy BBC journalists of course love it.
New from Tousi : Celtic Cancel Culture
Scots SLAM Sturgeon As She Moves To Fully Ban Free Speech
It is already banned, no one allowed to say anything about the criminal gypsies who murder police and then nobble juries, with a history of theft, asssaults and hare coursing
endemic to their societies
blacks stabbing each other in London
endemic again
muslims gang raping white children, every muslim ghetto in UK
muslims causing spread of virus: new lockdowns etc etc
attacks on christians around the world, attacks on churches ?
free speech ? we all know who is responsible for 99.999% of the above
but not allowed to say
UNLESS it is a crime only committed by whites, preferably males,
or Jews
THEN allowed to apportion blame by race
You know how the beeb really really care about little children?
Especially BLACK children – especially THIRD WORLD black children, and especially third-world MUSLIM black children?
This story ticks every box in the beeb’s list of victimhood, so how very surprising they’re not running it, when it should be front and centre of their news every day!
“15 children are found covered in scars and wounds at a Nigerian Islamic school where they were tortured and kept in chains”
I guess Black Lives Don’t Matter if they’re being chained, beaten, starved and tortured by the beeb’s favourite religion.

BBC News website is disseminating fake news.
In an article about masks purporting to clarify facts: Claim: Masks deprive your body of oxygen.
BBC verdict-Verdict: False claim along eith a load of spurious cheeeading for the government.
Referring to https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18500410/
This is a report on medical trials on surgeons with SpO2 meters which found:” Results: Our study revealed a decrease in the oxygen saturation of arterial pulsations (SpO2) and a slight increase in pulse rates compared to preoperative values in all surgeon groups. The decrease was more prominent in the surgeons aged over 35.”
This is an example.of actual medical trials not validating what the BBC is promulgating, leaving the BBC open to provable charges of fake news.
David Vance has a long thread countering the BBC article
I have a couple of thoughts
Generally life is full colour complex, when people reduce it to black & white simplicity that is wrong.
Here that is “Masks are a magic a solution that will save lives”
#1 I bet there are some people that have already died cos they wore a mask.
There is a protocol for mask wearing
You must have clean hands, cos you are trying to keep bugs away from your face. The outside of the mask is a bug collector.
So someone has probably touched the mask then touched their nose and put bugs on it.
#2 Actually On the otherhand if the viral load needed to contract Covid is high it could be possible that used correctly even weak masks always prevent Covid. Say if you need 1000 units and the mask keeps it below that as it flushed out your nose
#3 Then on the other hand maybe flushing is rubbish
Then it could be that a mask stops 50% of the bugs
but feeling secure you decide to stick inside a room 3 times a long
so that you end up with a much bigger viral load in your nose , than if you hadn’t worn a mask.
All is irrelevant if the main spread is by aerosolisation. The particles are so small you would need bioweapons quality.
Top story on the BBC children’s channel:
Click on the Headline: CBBC’s The Next Step’s first same-sex kiss!:
“The world has come a long way in supporting LGBTQ+ rights and CBBC have taken a huge step. On Wednesday July 22, two female characters, Jude and Cleo from ‘The Next Step’ kissed. This was the first same-sex kiss to air on CBBC and many people have said it was an important moment for LGBTQ+ rights…
The BBC on their children’s channel constantly pressurise children through imagery, children stories, and accusations of homophobia into underage sexual contact and exploration so long as it falls under LGBTQ+.
A large number of people have commented on this and the BBC have been busy censoring and removing comments that goes against the narrative.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/53536242
Never too young to brainwash and corrupt the youth.
I’d love to know how many kids even watch CBBC. The CBeebies channel for toddlers is the one good channel the BBC still has and parents put it on because it’s educational and good. But CBBC is more just entertainment, presumably competing with Nintendo or YouTube or other TV channels. This is not like the 80s when a lack of options meant that the CBBC was 2 hours of required viewing.
I imagine that show will be watched by very few kids, other than those forced to do so by their Corbyn supporting parents, same as the rubbish they put out: Thomas Hardy with an ethnically diverse cast or the like.
two women kissing
It probably does happen in kids fairy stories that two princesses kiss each other and kids, never see it as sexual.
#1 It happens in pantomime cos the principal boy is really a woman.
What would Greta say?
One presumes ‘ hopper’ to be a champion euphemism.
Imagine one’s surprise.
“The word “chopper” was first used in street and hip hop slang to refer to the AK-47 rifle. The word has also been used as an informal word for helicopter. … The word “chopper” can simply be used for any rapper that uses a fast-paced style in his or her lyrics.”
One lives and learns.
So ‘our’ Ash’s response to words she doesn’t like is to grab a gun?

Apart from making this bloke look like a would be serial killer, just what is the point in wearing this deeply disturbing face nappy in this fashion?
The bloody thing is revolting.
We’re turning our neighbours and fellow citizens into strangers and potential threats.
This whole thing has become increasingly creepy and sinister.
But the more I think about it…
Perhaps that’s actually the point.
The spotty Herbert likely Lewis and Justin’s masked snoop hero now.
That is a face and fashion combo for radio, and not ECU HD.
Remember this?
At the time, the beeb and much of the msm were quick to accuse the young student of ‘mocking’ and ‘taunting’ the Indian chief. (Yes, I know, ‘Native American’ – if you want political correctness go read the Grauniad.)
Well he’s just won his case against the Washington Post, whom he sued for $250 million.
Good on ya kid. Fancy taking on the beeb, who also defamed you?
Reminder he didn’t get anything like $250m
Maybe Wapo paid out $25m and lawyers took $20m of that
We need more of this cases. We also need individuals to take the BBC to court, but for that to happen we need lawyers willing to take on the case, only taking their fee from the damages awarded if they were to win the case.
Sounds from the beeb R4 midnight news, that we will have to rely on Poland to protect the traditional family structure; beeb -unsurprisingly- don’t like this. The Visigrad states are not as keen as the ‘West’ to demolish all their traditions and do away with all we have held dear for hundreds of years, for the sake of ill-defined, unhealthy ‘change’.
Beeb : an electronic Coronavirus of the airwaves?
2 week quarantine for those returning from Spain. Why the hell anyone would want to go abroad right now is beyond me. FFS is it really worth the hassle, the half opened bars and shops, and the pigsty conditions at the airports, just to be determined to have their 2 weeks away ? Oh, and the potential of catching something, anything, Covid, either en route or at the destination.
Well, if they do it serves them right.
And despite everyone whingeing that we’re not getting back to normal quick enough, there are STILL no interviews taking place in the studio, so a good example aren’t they ? those who maintain we should ‘get out there’, as they’re still ensconced in their homes talking to the studio. Why aren’t they called out on it.
A lot of those travellers though (certainly the ones the Spanish want to return) aren’t there for one week, they’re people that part-own a villa and go for 6 weeks. Personally speaking, I’m trapped in the US right now and the sooner the whole situation can go back to normal the better. Hopefully along the lines of your “serves them right” theme where it’s about personal choice and how people (young vs old) happen to view the risks.
Doodle and thoughts for the week.
There doesn’t seem to have been any coverage of the arson attacks on churches in France. I feel this news needs to be reported and is of concern to all .
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16264/france-cathedrals-fire
Fires in French churches are going through the roof – pardon the pun.
Attacks on churches are now occurring at the shocking rate rate of 3 per day!
Attacks on Christians and Christian symbols are also common.
The leftist BBC massively under-report the phenomenon because the perpetrators are leftists and islamists, two groups beloved by the rotten beeb.
And, like many ‘liberals’, the beeb despises Christianity.
So they endlessly bang on about islamophobia while ignoring the much greater problem of Christianophobia.
https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2020/07/22/report-anti-christian-attacks-in-europe-rose-285-percent-since-2008/

The Rwandan refugee made warden of Nantes Cathedral and put in charge of locking it up each night has just admitted he did it. He says he is very sorry and he is hoping he can be forgiven and be given a second chance because that is the Christian way.
The BBC headline is: “Nantes cathedral fire: Church volunteer rearrested over arson”:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53542936
Another day, another attack by the BBC on Winston Churchill. Time for an active campaign to get rid of this institution with its hatred for everything English and British.
On the BBC homepage we have the following headline:
Click on the headline and it takes us to an article that begins:
“Evil Genius: What’s the verdict on these historical figures?: We are living in a time of historical readjustment. Figures from the past are being reassessed, events from yesteryear are reconsidered in a different light. Heroes are reduced to zeroes while forgotten figures are finally getting their due … Evil Genius podcast … has taken those men and women who have been cluttering up history books for ages and judged … “”
Since I don’t have a BBC license nor am I subscribed to the BBC, I am unable to listen to it. But judging from the BBC narrative elsewhere white English and British men of the past are normally judged to be racist and sexist, followed by a demand to censor and expunge their statues, names and memory from our history.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/DyWQLgqmtXg2VNJxM4sLnC/evil-genius-what-s-the-verdict-on-these-historical-figures
Better still, should the BBC still deserve to be called “British” ? I think not.
It is behaving like a petulant child because the people of Great Britain did not toe the line during the Brexit referendum. Time you readers stopped paying the telly tax. The tax that robs from the poor to give to the rich.
Support the ‘great’ in Great Britain.

Apparently this ‘Evil Genius’ series has been going for a while. In December 2018 there was an article about it in the Telegraph – part of which is transcribed below. I have just listened to a few minutes from your link and can confirm the accuracy of the article.

Dumbing down? Kane presents youth-oriented BBC podcast Evil Genius
Last week, I wrote about Britain’s cleverest podcast. This week, with a heavy heart, I must introduce you to the stupidest. Made by the BBC, and hosted by the comedian Russell Kane, Evil Genius is intended to be a sort of Great Lives for younger audiences. Like its Radio 4 equivalent, it examines the life and work of a giant from history – Einstein, JFK, Gandhi and so on. Kane’s guests open three envelopes, each containing some sort of ghastly revelation about the hero in question (usually that they had archaic attitudes to race or sex). They must then vote on whether he or she was, on balance, evil or a genius.
The panellists are mostly little-known comedians, and stunningly ignorant. Listening to them discuss, say, Charles Dickens – “Never read any of his books. I know A Christmas Carol, ’cos I’ve seen the Muppets version” – is incredibly stressful, like watching a flock of sheep attempting to polish a Ming vase.
Not having any knowledge to contribute, the panellists try their best to make jokes. You’d think they would at least be good at that. But they are incapacitated by Millennial prudery. Lips pursed with disapproval, they gasp and tut at Einstein’s toxic masculinity, or Dickens’s habit of writing novels about things he hadn’t experienced himself. This is now considered “cultural appropriation”, fretted the panel. You might remember it as “fiction”.
The more you know about the subject in hand, the worse the agony. The episode on Evelyn Waugh almost gave me an embolism. How can you possibly judge the moral character of a novelist – especially one as deliberately dyspeptic and self-loathing as Waugh – without having read a word he wrote? “Anyone can write pretty,” sniffed one panellist, dismissing the efforts of all the literary greats at one stroke.
The worst thing about Evil Genius is that it is intentionally stupid. Even Kane dumbs himself down to suit Auntie’s condescending notion of what young people want. The extent of this deception became clear last Tuesday, when, in a neat reversal of roles, Kane was the guest on Great Lives. The hero he chose to discuss was none other than Evelyn Waugh.
The fact that the bBC are persevering with this production and currently somewhat obscurely advertising it on their Home page tells us all we need to know.
Better still (and to really wind up the left) start demanding that Mary Seacole is erased once more from history. She’s the ‘black Florence Nightingale’ that the BBC and Guardian are obsessed with. But as was common at the time, she too had some fairly choice things to say about the Jews and people from the Middle East, Asia, Africa. Basically anyone who wasn’t Caribbean or white.
If your local MP has ever said something good about her, write off and demand that they apologise for defending the indefensible (provide examples to show how wrong they were to sing her praises). And if you have a statue of her nearby, add a sign saying “racist” next to it. Then wait for the fun to begin.
It would probably annoy them even more to praise her for her common sense and explain why.
Just listened to the end of the BBC’s Evil Genius podcast on Winston Churchill and the one on Karl Marx. One of these gentlemen was declared “Evil” by the panel and the other a “Genius”. Do you really need me to tell you which way round it was?
Thread.
Which unravels in this partisan fool’s case.
Justin runs defence.
Fails.
Can’t help but notice some resistance in the press and even from the BBC over the latest lockdown restriction – this time on people entering the country from Spain having to quarantine for a fortnight.
BBC news on-line carries a headline: ‘Coronavirus: ‘Devastated’ travellers react to Spain quarantine rules’
The papers vary from The Sunday Telegraph’s ‘holidays thrown into chaos’ to the Sunday Mirror’s ‘Costa Del Quarantine’ to the Sunday Express ‘new holiday misery’
We’ve witnessed very little speaking truth to power push back from the media on lockdown rules – any opposition has been on the theme that we ought to have locked down earlier and harder. However, the subject of our open borders has been something of a no go area. So perhaps we should not be surprised that this new restriction on free movement is suddenly controversial with the journo class when the extraordinarily daft and ineffective compulsory wearing of face masks, for example, went by the by.
The programme ‘Sunday’ has once again been hijacked by the bbc to promote the BLM/ anti-Trump narrative, with Episcopal bishop Michael Curry attacking the Electoral College system, which he links to Southern Slavery. Drones on about the lack of ‘equality’ and ‘democracy’, without defining what he means by those terms, in a democratic country like the US.
We get the picture when the angelic George Floyd, Charlottesville and ‘Neo Nazis’ are dredged up.
Worst of all, he is constantly prompted and egged on by his scurrilous interviewer William Crawley, trying to push for ever more extreme statements. Clearly trying to outshine Ed Stourton in the Lefty stakes, this odious character prompts for the most extreme responses which even a BLM extremist like Curry, won’t fall for.
More utterly disgusting agitating from R4 and the bbc. They are really beyond the pale!
This is supposed to be a Christian programme, not an attempt at race-baiting and interfering in US politics.
Time the unaccountable beeb were held to account for such drivel! Unfortunately there appears to be only the useless Ofcom, full of beeb buddies.
So we have to continue to be disgusted, or use the ‘off switch’
Rather amazed John Sweeney has not liked this one yet.
Surely the Mirror would employ him for his… expertise?
Could be a financial motive for declaring the first murder in paradise, WHO aid maybe, or perhaps Kim was just feeling a little left out.
If you’re the sort of person, of a sort of age, who would pick for their Desert Island Discs either of The New Seekers’ ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing’, 5th Dimension’s ‘Age of Aquarius’ or Blue Mink’s ‘Melting Pot’, then let me strongly recommend today’s The Observer magazine pull out in which Glenda Jackson pontificates on power, performance and politics.
It was 1992 when this hippie actress retired from stage and film to enter politics because she hated Margaret Thatcher (she deserves a certain kudos for actually standing for election which is rare among her sort). Think about this – 1992 – which is about the time the rot first seen in the youth of our new elite class in 1968 matured somewhat and began to properly infiltrate the establishment.
R4 religion show as ever is really a platform for pushing #bbcAgendas
Final 10 mins was with a Trump hating US episcopal bishop
The only evidence he could cite of his claim for Trump’s racism
was that Trump dared to call out bad on both sides at Charlottesville.
The bishop thinks it’s moral never to mention that antifa are hatey & violent
This week @MalleusEpiscopo wasn’t on Twitter doing his normal thing of listing all the real religious news BBCr4Sunday left out
·
Last week Jul 19 his list included
Police raid east London homes in anti-terrorist operation into ‘Islamist extremist activity’.

… except that we must never acknowledge Muslim terrorism, right?
The “blackifying” of Britain is well underway in the meeja
every other advert is full of them, just been on Amazon looking for a shirt and over 50% of models black
this is racist
and the advertising equivalent of fake news
where are the Chinese ? where are the Philipinos and more importantly the 85% indigenous people? why bloody black all the time ???
I have just spent a day in Cambridge, a day in Lowestoft and a day in Bury St Edmunds, would anyone like to know how many blacks were there ?
Darcy3- This obsession is well out of hand. I have decided not to purchase any product pushing this line, and to inform the marketers of my reasons, although that will be carefully phrased, as per your outline, so that it is not misunderstood.
Is it all the result of GF and BLM?
No problems with ‘proportional representation’ on TV and radio, but when you start getting to a 40%-50% sell, you begin to wonder about political motives and manipulation.
Looking around for a small electric car in future, I noticed yesterday that the Mini…
Decided not to go for it.
