TAKE AIM, THEN FIRE: When a faulty gas main blew up in Windermere and damaged a holiday cottage, Britain’s right-wing tabloids were quick to pin the blame on Hezbollah. True or false? The BBC’s Man in the Middle East, Jeremy Bowen (real name Harry Yaxley-Markle) was sent to investigate. Night-time meetings with secret contacts took place at a succession of “safe houses,” including the King’s Arms in Lancaster, the Green Man in Nottingham, the Old Cider House in Gloucester and the Battered Mullet in Folkestone, enabling Bowen to piece together the whole extraordinary story. In tonight’s pre-recorded interview, he reveals what really happened: the explosion was caused by a top-secret Sausage 3 missile, fired from Israel into Gaza but nudged off course by “unidentified waves” emanating from the Fu Manchu Mountains of central China.
UPDATE: Jeremy likes the clinic and is said to be “comfortable.”

Belfield vid
For what its worth DG Tim Davie gave a speech to BBC droids today and said
“Importantly, it is not simply about left or right. It is about being free from political bias. This is more about whether people feel we see the world from their point of view. Our research shows that too many perceive us to be shaped by a particular perspective.”
What he wants BBC staff to do is cover up the bias better – because – you might notice – they dont even pretend any more .
Any threat to the group think is eliminated – see andrew Neill
Exactly. Davie will make some cosmetic high profile changes in the next few weeks and months to try and head off the anger. Only fools will believe that there is any substance to them. The BBC will try to carry on with its mission to change Britain into a Woke Multiculti paradise. The only good BBC is a dead BBC. Just stop paying for it and it will crumble. We don’t need Boris to help , we just need him to do nothing and let us , the people, put the BBC out of business by refusing to pay for it.

Well we were advised during lockdown to keep the freezer well stocked !!!
“I am (unsurprisingly) increasingly sent abuse from *conspiracy theorists*”
says the BBC’s Disinformation specialist
Let’s unpack that : SOME members of a community she routinely labels with the PEJORATIVE SMEAR label “*conspiracy theorists*” ..sent pejoratives back at her
Her post seemed to shout “help I am a victim”
… and look in the tweet below here’s the Newsround presenter joining in
Always ask if there is more to this
She gave an example of someone insulting her
but FORGOT to mention that 26 hours earlier the guy had put up a video exposing the way she routinely dismisses people in a school bully way by slapping the PEJORATIVE label “CT Conspiracy Theorist” on them
The vid is humorously titled CT scam
Someone points at MS tweets that say QAnon must be stopped cos it could lead to violence in the UK.
..when someone replied but BLM has actually led to violence in the UK
MS blocked her.
If you want a laugh at the BBC Bias … read this “fact checking” article !!!
Dear oh dear ….. not quite “fact” as Springfield has a independent mayor !!! Everything else Trump said is bang on . BBC Fact check my aristotle !!
Should be BBC “Nit pick” anything Trump has to say.

https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/news/100052/ai-supported-anti-fake-news-app-launched-by-nigerian-british-ex-facebooker/
That Nigerian app against Fake News says
\\ And with Brexit and the 2020 US presidential elections coming up, this fight will need all the heroes it can get.” //
… em that’s FakeNews
cos Brexit has already happened
Pathetic
The BBC does have a point that
“Most large cities in America, however, are run by Democrats.” 64D vs 28R
but then run this
Mr Trump has also said that Democratic-run cities are “rampant with crime”, but some of
*the fastest increases in murder rates* are in Republican-run cities.
Cherrypicking that looks like ‘saying a small rise in a small number is a big percentage’
People retweet the story under BBC.co.uk and BBC.com
under the latter mot tweeters just assume that it completely debunks Trump
Doobs, it should be “BBC Nitpick anything not said by luvvies or Left”
I put in a complaint about the total lack of coverage of the London Anti-Lockdown protests. Of course I am wrong and the BBC are right like usual.
My complaint:
————
Total lack of any coverage of 10,000 people in the anti-lockdown protest in London on 30th August. Your omission of certain news is worse than fake news. Your are worse than North Korean news.
Your normal excuse for this kind of thing is “not enough space to report it” but on the same day you reported the Berlin protests. The London one is more important to report.
————
Their reply just 2 days later:
————
Many marches and protests take place in cities around the UK and unfortunately BBC News is unable to cover all protests that take place. Stories are chosen due to their editorial merit, for instance, if it’s breaking news or an update to a recent news story.
Our coverage over the weekend looked at the demonstration in Berlin, but also pointed to similar, smaller protests in Paris and London too:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-53957452
‘Photographers in the UK have captured hundreds of people gathering in Trafalgar Square to demonstrate against the UK government’s coronavirus measures. Demonstrators were seen holding up banners reading “Covid hoax” and “no mandatory vaccines” as they packed the square…’
There is often a debate in the Newsroom over what to cover, but ultimately we accept that not everybody will be happy with the decisions that we make. We’re sorry you felt we could do better on this occasion. Your comments have been added to our daily report, which is circulated around the news teams.
————
Why do I bother?
Thanks Tabs for complaining to the BBC about that. I was angry enough about their non-coverage to contemplate doing the same but I didn’t bother in the end because I knew I would get a response like yours.
I heard from somewhere (was it on this site?) that a BBC journalist revealed that they had been instructed by their bosses NOT to cover the London protest.
The excuse that these weasels give about there being too many protests to cover doesn’t make sense. On my local news the BBC journalists are only too willing to cover any and every sparsely-attended mickey mouse protest – to justify their existence, I suppose. Anyway, we are talking about a national protest that filled Trafalgar Square. This should have been covered. Especially since they covered a similar gathering in Berlin.
The idiots don’t seem to realise that this refusal to cover an important news story provides opponents of the BBC with a perfect piece of evidence in their argument why the licence fee should be abolished.
@Tabs what did you expect ?
Complaining is mostly a waste of time
… cos most people like you are ranting
.. just giving an OPINION
What you have to do is look at the Editorial guidelines and bullet point which ones they have broken
You’ll still get fobbed off first, but you’ll be able to keep persisting until you get a proper reply.
Better still don’t wait until afterwards
organisers should contact journos BEFORE the prog and give them the PR to cutNpaste.
If you ever see some error in a prog tweet the producer/presenter straight away
They might well do a correction before the end of the show.

From the Telegraph
The new BBC director-general Tim Davie has warned his employees about campaigning on social media, as he tackles the perceived left-wing bias in the BBC, a bug bear of its critics.
“Trust in our impartiality is not a nice-to-have; it is the very essence of who we are,” he stressed during a speech to staff. “It is the bedrock of why people come to us.”
The BBC is by far the most trusted source of news, not just in the UK but in the US, he said, and in an era of fake news this trust was more important than ever.
“But, while we do many things right, I do hear questions about whether due impartiality is deliverable, even desirable, in these more polarised, divergent times,” he said.
“We urgently need to champion and recommit to impartiality. It is deliverable and it is essential.”
He warned journalists against being “driven by our personal agendas” and urged for staff to work “free from political bias”, whatever their own views.
He warned them: “If you want to be an opinionated columnist or a partisan campaigner on social media then that is a valid choice, but you should not be working at the BBC.”
He suggested staff needed to find “new voices from across the nation” and implored them “to spend much more time outside the BBC listening to those who pay for us”.
New guidance on impartiality will be published including new rules on use of social media, “which will be rigorously enforced” and restrictions on journalists making money on the back of public appearances with a “clearer direction on the declaration of external interests”.
Mr Davie went on to say that the broadcaster “must create a simpler, leaner organisation” with further cuts to jobs and output expected………….
……
From Fedup – I was going to try and cut and paste the rest but it’s just lies and nothing will change with the BBC until it is not guaranteed cash from the taxpayer …. they’ve all got fireproof jobs
Ah, ‘trust‘. Good word. Best used a lot.
After too much use superlatives become clichés. The racist far-left bbc hive drones love superlatives. They think it makes them sound erudite and educated and intelligent and above the hoi polloi.
What Timmeh! really needs to do is send an all staff memo saying ‘ don’t write anything stoopid’.
These have proven so effective before.
I used to think the Beeb didn’t do comedy, but I must admit that made me laugh.
Does anyone know how to download all the comments from a BBC webpage in which they have opened up a “Have Your Say”? I use internet explorer and i can’t get the page to load after about 300 comments. Also using FireFox I have problems.

“33. BBC. You are totally unaware that you operate in an echo chamber.
You all think the same.
You’re all liberal graduates.
Your diversity policy doesn’t include anyone outside your left wing bubble.
I have some news for you, you currently represent the “few“. //
Thanks this is very helpful.
Ps I will have to explore iHYSdb and see if it does the same with the newsround children’s comments which the BBC also heavily moderate (remove comments)

As summer ends, UK must square up to Covid again
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53869671
BBC loves the man made summer start / end times .
I wonder if an ‘Indian summer’ is still in usage.
And after telling us Covid isn’t a flu for the past six months, now they’re wanting us to believe it is, to fit the winters coming fear narrative?

While the timorous Beeb tiptoe around the latest Charlie Hebdo developments, David Wood shouts them from the rooftops.
Charlie are actually republishing the cartoons that triggered the terrorist slaughter of so many back in 2015.
I wonder if the fearless beeb, champions of free speech, will follow suit?
careful now
This link needs flagging up and maybe reposting. A wheelchair bound Englishman was arrested in his own home by the police and taken to a police station. They were going to put him in a jail but they couldn’t get him in there with his wheelchair.
He was arrested because someone phoned the police and reported that he was heard saying “sooty” down in the pub and this was believed to be a race hate crime.
It turned out he was referring to the show sooty and sweep among friends and someone from across where they were seated thought he was referring to a black man. The black man never heard it and didn’t report it – it was some other guy. The person who called it in called the wheelchair bound man a racist spastic c*nt. But that wasn’t considered to be a hate crime.
This is what the English police are now wasting there time on and it is all enshrined under hate speech law passed through Parliament.
@Caliphate I’d be a bit careful
There is no reason to take extraoerdinary claims at face value
He says he was arrested, but not where and when
It is the kind of thing a paedo might say as a cover.
However he does sound 100% kosher
but you’d expect there to me more evidence.
We know – or at least I have seen, the BBC create headlines out of mere activists statements. So and so says: “science is racist”, “star wars is racist”, “Dawn Buttler driving a car gets stopped by racist police” … The BBC are forever quoting sources they know to be campaigners, activists, biased.
The person here is not a campaigner or an activist, he is just an ordinary citizen complaining on a radio station. So in my opinion it is fair and acceptable to quote what he had to say because we can link it to a source (Alex Belfield phone in).
BBC.
I doesn’t stop there. Surreptitiously, the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 was ushered into force. No? Never heard of it? You wouldn’t. The only time you will hear about it is when you allow a cop entry to your property, (“Could we come in Sir, we need to talk to you about a matter requiring some privacy”). Then, you have given them licence to search your home if they so wish. Just imagine a spontaneous search (which was planned in you gave them entry) if they found the old German WW2 bayonet you were willed by your father. Now, thanks to the OWA 2019 now gives the right to charge for illegal possession EVEN ON PRIVATE / DOMESTIC PROPERTY. Previously only, “in a public place”. Now even in your home.
Welcome to the liberal UK where the system cannot find a stash of AK45’s kept in basement of a place of worship but they’ll find that historic momento in your home. Which one will be charged…….
Oh yea, i forgot to mention that the BBC declares Yorkshire racist – it went straight to the BBC news homepage.
BBC Headline: “Former Spinner Rafiq Claims institutional racism at Yorkshire”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/54011082
The BBC are a complete joke at the taxpayers expense. Over the past several months the BBC have declared more or less everything in Britain and America racist.
This is Pede Primo’s little salary sink isn’t it?
Certainly garnered the public’s faves there.
Guest – as anyone with BT sport will be aware – the same cast of characters the BBC used for footy turn up on BT . So why not just sack them from the BBC and leave them to be paid by BT shareholders ?
The BBC must be desperate for coloured folk to completely run football stuff so there is a golden opportunity .
Personally I think the big showdown with the new DG regime will be ‘super talent ‘ like maitlisssss twittering or smirking her way through an ‘interview’ with a red Tory .
“France ‘as committed as UK’ to stop Channel crossings, MPs told”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-54009541
I am afraid this new “the Home Office’s clandestine Channel threat commander” is a damp squib . Are they telling us that both the Royal Navy and the French Navy cant stop the invasion ?
The traffic is one way, from France to England. Britain is one of the most overpopulated countries in Europe and our feeble Tory government is allowing more to be stuffed in. Where else in the world would criminals be placed in 4 Star hotels ?
I find it very odd that the government have a ‘Clandestine Commander’ when we have the entire Royal Marines at hand awaiting orders ? Very odd indeed . Mr O’Mahoney would be better placed running the St John’s Ambulance.
Looks like Boris is going to get the sack . Parliament is a stage and its full of overpaid actors .
Massive mandate from the British electorate to sort this sh*t out and he does nothing , absolutely nothing !!!!
Priti Patel, where is she ????
To be honest, I really thought Boris and Priti were the sort who wouldn’t cave in to the lefties and really stick it up em ……..so disappointed !!!!!!

I have the uneasy feeling that Boris is after the job as The President of the European Council?
Someone please tell me I am wrong .
I’ve put up a new thread to mark the ‘new broom ‘ that is the DG of the BBC – I know it will soon be a ‘general ‘ place to comment but I think he needs a clear marker of his new ‘strategy ‘ of concealing the Far Left Bias .

I wonder
How many resigned
How many were fired
How many suffered professional disgrace
I bet I know the answer .
Also – I wonder if there is a ‘post election ‘ compilation showing people like the air head clooney / hanks – eating their humble pie?
Also – is there an equivalent compilation for brexit / the last election ….
One of the many MSM problems is it can forget very quickly and infer such things never happened ……
BBC News – “Batman filming paused after Robert Pattinson ‘tests positive for coronavirus’ “.
I would have thought he would be immune ?
No-one is immune from false positives!
I watch UFC mixed martial arts and they regularly cancel fights, sometimes the same fighter twice.
Maybe trump was right the more you test..
Not the BBC – but the Telegraph – which I pay £4 a month for but will stop as soon as I can because of articles like this one I am about to describe .
Do you remember The Fixed Term Parliament Act which showed how thick politicians are last year ?
Well – in the Tory manifesto there was a commitment to end it -and prevent the spectacle of a disgraceful Speaker and the SNP sneering at the government and preventing democracy .
But now – the Chief Political correspondent of the telegraph – on Christopher Hope is pouring water on withdrawal of that act by saying ‘a committee of the House of Lords ‘ says it will ‘bring the Queen into court ‘ .
The article doesn’t name the lords committee – now quote any single peer – and is as bad piece of journalism from a serious paper as I’ve seen .
So now I’m off to the mail to see who is flaunting their Gym honed ‘flat tummy’ whilst on a beach in Florida / Gambia / clacton . ….
“Tony Abbott: Ministers defend ex-Australian PM over Brexit trade role”
The PC Brigade and Rejoiners are trying to scupper Britain getting good trade deals.
I’m obviously not following closely enough , how an earth has an Australian got the job?
Why wasn’t Farage offered it.
Having said that , that Canadian did a brilliant job???? as governor of Bank of England.
Another day, another race bait from the BBC !!!
BLM shone a spotlight the BBC say ….. they really are a BLM propaganda outfit !!!
The choice of Nicola Adams as Strictly Come Dancing competitor is a brilliant stroke of genius on the part of the BBC. Ms Adams being female, black and gay manages to tick so many boxes. And if one were to object about the same sex dance partner? Well one could be called racist, homophobic and a misogynist, If one were white and male the BBC could throw into the mix, patriarchal white supremacist and perhaps with a bit of creative thinking they could get climate change denier in there as well because the BBC so love to pin labels on people. By ‘accident’ your personal details could be exposed which would then allow the enraged ‘twitterati mob’ to ‘dox’ you and complete your destruction. Job done!
I’ve read that there’s already a backlash from viewers who plan to not watch it – apparently same sex dance is a stretch too far for its mainly middle aged plus audience. Personally I would also say that having seen the list of ‘celebrities’ taking part, its a pretty dire bunch that you wouldn’t know if they walked naked into your local Co-op !
This programme is long past its glory days, when mainstream celebrities would clamber to be a part of it, but its clearly the Beeb are struggling to find anyone of note who want to do it. So we’re past the Z list, and now we’re onto the minus Z list that includes reality and social media people.
In the coop, naked or not, celebrities would be obediently masked; and it is by their faces they are usually recognized.

Better still, how about a call to ban the Welsh Assembly .
Its a total waste of money on a talking shop.
taffman, the PM missed a golden opportunity back in March to pull the whole UK back together and close the subsidiary talking shops in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. There would have been howls of protest, especially from Holyrood, but they could have been put in a box labelled ‘National (and nationwide) Emergency’.
The temporary closure then could, in the clear light of economic necessity, become rather more permanent in time.
taffman, ’twas ever thus: two hundred years on, and the Luddites are still breaking up the weaving machines. I particularly liked this quote:
‘Neil Lewis, manager of social enterprise Carmarthenshire Energy, which helps develop community energy projects, agreed with the report’s recommendations and said the threat posed by climate change “keeps me up at night”‘.
The very definition of a bedwetter.
TOADY Watch #1 – we are out of time
It is amazing that in a three hour News & Current Affairs programme, the BBC’s Editor, day Editors, Producers, assistant Producers, Presenters, journalists and support staff cannot arrange the time better. In just the first hour of the TOADY Prog this a.m. the presenters had to ‘hurry’ contributors as they were ‘running short of time’. You would think that all those people responsible for the on-air content could organise it a bit better, wouldn’t you?
Maybe the new D-G, Tim Davie, could call some of them in ‘to inspect the new carpet’ in the D-G’s office – or – ‘to inspect the carpet’ in the new D-G’s office.

TOADY Watch #2 – BBC making the most of the opportunity
What goes around comes around, at least until 31 December 2020. After that, who knows? Probably not our chaotic PM who has taken his eye off the June 30th ball, the July 31st ball and the August 31st ball.
If Bojo is as determined to exercise, lose weight and get fit, as one newspaper front page and the BBC Toady Prog tell me, then he really ought to be hitting these balls past Barnier & Co at the EU and telling UK Plc “It’s a No Deal, WTO departure from the EU on 1 Jaunuary 2021, folks – get ready for it.”
Without that firm lead from the PM, the Remainer BBC will do all they can to talk up the chaos and create a new ‘Fear for the Day’ every day.
