This time next week the Biased Far Left failing BBC will be preparing to put out “The Last Night of The Proms”. This year many who watch it will be more attentive to it than ever . Even if the British Conventions are retained lets not forget what those running the BBC wanted to do – in favour of their own personal views -not those of the suffering taxpayer .
The next big national event is Remembrance Sunday . Interfere with that at your peril BBC.

I wish the media would stop teasing us with headlines about ‘Abbott’ being a leading advisor for our trade talks…..triggers me…especially as I wouldn’t put it past the idiot Tories to appoint someone like her as they try to look all inclusive, diverse and unifying as Cameron did….Blair packed the quangos with his party stooges…and the Tories not only kept them on but added to them.
Astonishing how Nick Robinson can state that Tony Abbott is a homophobic misogynist and climate denier and thus perhaps shouldn’t qualify for his new job. Laughably Emily Thornberry is dragged in to denounce him…the woman who thinks all working class white men are racist lowlifes.
Rita Panahi an Iranian Australian opinion columnist said…
‘Tony Abbott should consult a lawyer. These unfounded slurs, pushed by his loony left political opponents, are stated as fact by ”journalists” in the UK.”
Can’t say she’s wrong. Nick Robinson gets away with it every time….as they all do…..funny how they target relentlessly anyone helping the Tories such as Cummings but an anti-Semitic, marxist terrorist supporter got endless uncritical BBC coverage. Abbott will be in their sights now until they take him down.
Everyone’s heard of ‘white noise’ but do you know what ‘Black noise’ is? It’s that noise you hear when you turn on the BBC and all you get is a terrible whining sound.
ITBB has a bumper weekend series of posts in complement.

The latest ER action has revealed to me what it’s really all about. It’s basically rich kids trying to curtail working class people and make them subservient to this new elite, that is people who can afford ridiculous EV’s etc. No doubt in my mind now it’s being driven by the likes of Soros.
I was thinking of becoming a pundit on football on say the
BBC or Sky sport .What do you think the most important
attributes I should have? I am quite an expert like Ashley
Cole for example, and thought that Dan Walker was very
unlucky to be sent off against the might of Iceland. And didn’t
the lady pundit look like the celebrity dancer from last seasons
“Strictly.” though her hair looked different. Didn’t Adele get
into trouble over her Bantu knots? I think the virtue
signalling woke term is cultural appropriation.

A BLM , anti police piece done in dance !!!! It was DISGUSTING..
And they were all black , that’s all black , highly successful, highly paid blacks. Lecturing us, telling us how oppressed blacks are !!!!!
Yep, racism in Britain really held them back as well !!!!
All these oppressed, multi millionaire BAME ‘s , what a struggle hey !!!!!!
I too could not believe what I was seeing ! It truly has gone too far ! Kneeling before football and cricket, practically every programme a BLM slant and now a family show like BGT. Enough is enough this has to stop !!!
CONFIRMED Boris To DEFUND BBC & TV Licence Fee As We Know It!
clickbait title that is not true
(BTW i posted the link yesterday)
Although this is hopeful, no such statement has yet been made by the PM. All Boris Johnson said was “My Right Honorable Friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport will set out a roadmap shortly for reform of the bbc and addressing the very issue you mention” and the issue that was mentioned was the unfairness of being forced to pay for the BBC if you only watch live TV on Sky, Amazon prime or ITV.
With Brexit, perhaps and hopefully, there will be a raft of reforms including the scrapping of the licence fee for a subscription service. We must remember that the BBC has been paid for by the public so in principle the public own everything the BBC has ever produced and all its assets, including equipment and property.
There is no need to wait for government action. If enough people stop paying the License Fee there is nothing that the BBC can do and it will very quickly be brought to its knees and forced to beg for a subscription only service.
All it’s assets should be seized and sold off .
I reported here about this character last week. Very few of his content videos match up to the headlines presented. As SG says above: “Clickbait”.
Worthless. I now never watch his videos.

Delingpole is on fire
\\ How can any government, let alone one claiming to be a Conservative one, allow this outrageous injustice to continue?
Is it perhaps because Johnson and his fake Conservatives are so committed to the hard-left, anti-free-market, crony capitalist, junk science agenda of the Green Blob they are intellectually incapable of appreciating just how wicked, destructive, dangerous — and unpopular — it is? //
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/09/05/xr-has-closed-down-britains-newspapers-good-they-deserve-it/
I’m reproducing the below from the telegraph about the deceitful attempt by the new DG to stifle new broadcasting competition pre birth by coaxing mr Andrew Neill to return to the BBC . I hope he is not mug enough to be ‘woke’ again …
‘The BBC’s news director general is trying to woo Andrew Neil back to the corporation in the biggest demonstration yet of his determination to shake off allegations of left wing political bias.
The Telegraph can reveal Tim Davie spent his second day in his new post on a zoom call with Neil in an attempt to get him back into the BBC.
Neil, widely regarded as televisions most forensic and feared political interviewer, has not been seen on the BBC screens since March.
Widely seen as an antidote to the so-called “woke brigade” which is accused of cultural and political domination at the BBC, executives under the previous regime of Lord Hall had allowed his contract to lapse.
But having been ignored by the corporation for almost six months – friends of Neil called his treatment “insulting” – Mr Davie has begun making overtures to lure him back to the broadcaster.
It is understood he spoke to Neil in the summer to open discussions before formally making a series of offers on Wednesday in a zoom call on only his second day in post.
Sources close to the director-general said: “Tim Davie wants Andrew Neil back at the BBC because he is a bloody good broadcaster. There has always been a collective desire to have Andrew Neil in the fold because of his talent.”
Neil, who is 71, has spent much of lockdown in France after his eponymous programme – the Andrew Neil Show – was taken off air in March as a result of the pandemic and the impossibility of grilling politicians face to face.
It was then formally axed in the summer – a victim of swingeing BBC news and current affairs budget cuts.
Neil, who is chairman of The Spectator magazine and former editor of the Sunday Times, has faced the wrath of left wing commentators who have accused him of a “relentless sympathy for Brexit and denunciation of its critics” in posts on his Twitter feed.
He has previously singled out The Mash Report, BBC Two’s satirical late night show, which he described as “self satisfied, self adulatory, unchallenged Left-wing propaganda. It’s hardly balance. Could never happen on a politics show. Except this has become a politics show.”
There were complaints when the BBC gave him his own political interview programme, broadcast at 7pm on BBC2, although even his greatest critics recognise he is a ‘formidable political interviewer’.
Neil has let it be known he was upset that the BBC – under the reign of its former director general Lord Hall – made no attempt to contact him after his show was taken off air in March.
So the decision by his successor Mr Davie to contact Neil on only his second day in the job is significant and demonstrates his serious intent to end criticism of the corporation, levelled by the Government and Tory backbenchers, of a left-wing bias.
In a landmark speech to staff on Thursday, Mr Davie put a ‘renewed commitment’ to impartiality centre stage and warned anybody who wished to be an “opinionated columnist or a partisan campaigner on social media” that they “should not be working at the BBC”.
Sources close to the director general have let it be known he wants the BBC to reach out to ‘Brexit Britain’ over a belief the corporation no longer held appeal for large parts of the UK population.
Mr Davie wants more ‘diverse’ voices on the main television channels and recognises that Neil is one of those.
The corporation has let it be known that satirical comedy programmes, with a perceived left-wing bias, face the axe although sources have stressed they will be chopped as much for being not very funny as too biased.
Neil, who is prolific on Twitter, has promised to rein in his social media posts if the BBC were to re-hire him and if he was required to step into line with tough new guidelines due to be introduced in coming days on the use of social media by BBC journalists.
His tweets have become more opinionated after his contract with the BBC lapsed but he has let it be known he would fall in with any new guidance should the BBC come up with a decent offer of a prominent slot on a mainstream channel to lure him back.
He has backed Mr Davie’s drive for impartiality and a crack down on opinions on Twitter.
Mr Davie may struggle to bring back Neil, however. It is understood he is mulling over offers from other broadcasters, which are more lucrative, and that executives from commercial rivals have even travelled to France to hold talks in person.
In the last election, Neil demolished Jeremy Corbyn in a searing interview while Boris Johnson preferred to be branded a coward than face a Neil grilling.ENDS HERE

Guest – that video is quite frightening, not only for what it shows but also for the fact that one can slide so easily from ‘normal’ into this craziness! We thought we were immune…
We thought we were liberal and democratic, but socialists have stolen the mantle of ‘liberal’

Tells us a lot about human nature, and the need to be forever vigilant…
‘They only want a free press if it agrees with their agenda’ says the Sunday Telegraph commentary of Extinction Rebellion, this on the heels their latest protest stunts. The Sunday Times likewise gives the group the cold shoulder ‘MPs unite in defence of free speech. Fury after blockade stops 1.5m newspapers’. The Telegraph further warns ‘Extinction Rebellion facing ‘organised crime’ curbs’.
Let’s just remind ourselves how the tactics of political terrorism work. The group attempting to twist our arm think up something to do that is so outrageous that we cry “this is unacceptable” and take notice. And then we accept what they did anyway. Cf the Manchester bombing of our daughters. The important thing for the extremist group is we took notice and to an extent comply with some of their wishes.
There’s no cold shoulder for the warming alarmists in the Sunday Mirror as they bring us ‘Attenborough’s new warning on climate change’
Sir David tells the Sunday People ‘We can still save the planet’
After a lifetime of marvelling at the wonders of nature the cossetted old codger still seems to think humans are omnipotent – I say send him up an active vulcano or drop him into an earthquake.
It’s a substitute religion. XR are the whacky cultists accosting you in the street and Sir David is a crusty old bishop merrily pontificating away over a sherry.
Nick Cohen in the Observer opines ‘All extremists are threats. But today, it is the radical right we should fear most’ – and there was me thinking it was the flu that was out to get me.
There’s no escaping the Wuhan wobblies, the Observer has ‘Covid ‘could be endemic in deprived parts of the country” – firstly, isn’t it about time sub-editors put the scare quotes just around the ‘could’ word? We should get Lynne Truss onto it. Secondly, when a pandemic goes endemic, say in Smethwick, you seem to have the raw materials for a limerick.
Speaking of the puctuation-themed book Eats, Shoots and Leaves… we have ‘Mary Berry’s comfort food recipe pull-out’ in the Mail.
And for the chaps the Mail gifts us the ‘Giant glossy Premier League fixtures poster’ – yeah, with not a comma in sight we really could conclude football has become giant and glossy.

Through my early Sunday snooze, caught the so-called religious programme Sunday, on R4. It’s been going for about 50 years and today we had a retrospective.
At first it was fine. A fairly straight review of a time when things were simpler and better. But gradually it went down hill. The predominantly Christian focus on the earlier years was described through gnashed teeth, and the last few minutes were pro Muslim and, for some reason, pro refugees.
What was unwittingly revealed was thus not the evolution of the programme but the descent of the BBC from national broadcaster to a biased left wing woke student activist organisation of minimal appeal, largely now irrelevant to its presumed audience.
So in a funny way, a bit of a result !
Sluff,
I had an interesting experience last week whilst having a pint or two at my local. Engaged two locals of the bright variety, one of which (I butted in on a conversation about ‘Trump’), promptly announces, “That idiot”. I replied, “do you mean the billionaire Trump?”. Yes, the oxymoron. Not wishing to be further confrontational I backed off. Given the opportunity I later passively and gently established where the duo obtained their news from. BBC R4. They liked it on in the background. Propaganda trickling in I’d say.
The BBC overarching approach to DJT is all condemnatory/negative. So, in keeping with the BBC’s drip, drip, drip, I heard this gem earlier:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54045115
How can that be British News or even important World news? Answer: it furthers the continuing Marxist approach of ‘Critical Theory’ – just condemn by connection, on and on no matter how insignificant the topic. But do it relentlessly.
Bit slow there Sluff. On being told ‘yes, the oxymoron’, I would have said “hardly an idiot if he’s a billionaire”.
Telegraph Watch
The paper has surely been ‘upset’ by being directly affected by protesters at its printing plant – as well as plod being unwilling to prevent it .
So if I may suggest the following tactic to the newspaper
1 print pictures of all those involved
2 identify them And publish their names, occupation and address
3 pursue them in the civil court
4 get some decent security if plod is unwilling to act .
There are other slightly less proportionate suggestions but they are not for here ….
If you compare what happened at Dover you can see that the police is now a political weapon of the Left with a hapless Home Secretary with no authority at all – like the rest of the red Tory government . ….
The police will stand idly by while the mob deface monuments and tear down statues.
They’ll have their hands in their pockets, whistling a lively tune and looking the other way, while anti democratic yobs attack printing plants.
And if semi literate thugs feel the urge to assault The Cenotaph or Winston’s statue they’ll usually be found kneeling in an abject act of cowardly submission. Eugh, that still makes my flesh crawl…
But…Dare to organise an anti-lockdown protest and you’ll be carted off before you can mumble the words “political stitch up.” You’ll be immediately fined £10,000 and your crowd funding donations will be closed within half an hour. Putin would be proud of us…
And God forbid you might take the clearly fascist decision to protect our shores from hundreds of illegal immigrants. Then you’ll feel the full force of the law!
If the Home Office had any intention of defending our shores from these invaders we wouldn’t be providing a cross channel taxi service and these patriots wouldn’t be doing useless Priti’s job for her. We certainly wouldn’t be putting these invaders up in 4 star hotels, giving then dosh and taking them on jolly trips to Liverpool football club. You know, that might just be encouraging them…
If the government really wanted to stop them we’d be meeting them halfway across the channel and we’d escort them straight back to France.
Or Gary Lineker’s £5 million mansion…

MartinDaubney’s summary is wrong
Minute 4, She talks it NOT being race against race
and says it was an usually diverse night in clubs that are normally black and Asian
and said it group of friends against other group of friends etc.
She made out that each group was quite diverse, but said loads of radial slurs were being shouted.
I wouldn’t recommend watching this unless you like to hear two woke people talking without saying anything . The beeb droid trying to get the woke girl to blame whitee but not getting there .
I watched 4 minutes and felt my life ebbing away ….
GW,
If the police don’t understand by now that when the whole multikulti thing comes crashing down and all hell breaks loose, they will not stand a ‘cat-in-hells-chance’ of dealing with the sedition, I don’t know what will.
Maybe they’re just dense………….
Large scale Stabbings in Birmingham; cars also used (as weapons?). R4 is a bit cagey abut what happened in the vicinity of the ‘gay area’ last night, but it obviously wasn’t pleasant. The area is ‘multicultural’, so that may have had something to do with it. Will see if the papers have anything to say.
Doesn’t sound like the England of Old. But that has been (deliberately?) destroyed by successive governments.
Guest – only just seen your contribution above; seems like beeb carefully doctored its report. Far as I can remember, gunshots were not mentioned.
Also, nothing to explicitly suggest one ethnic group turning on another.
Typical ‘doctored’/carefully edited reporting to avoid anything that doesn’t fit into beeb R4 ideology?
R4 was certainly VERY DIFFERENT from above testimony!
Next time the lying BBC tell you how peaceful the BLM protestors are, here are their favourite terrorists attacking some gays and women.

Can you imagine the BBC news room this morning?
They must be wetting their pants and ODing on the Valium.
Information on the Birmingham stabbings is noticeably minimal so my guess is that the Far Right were not involved.
But just imagine if it all kicked off due to some ‘religious’ or ‘ethnic minority’ component?
The BBC brown trouser department will be inundated with work.
Ah, but… always impartially. Trust them.
Pity for poor devil having to listen to that dross – just hope it was on x5 speed ….
Oh dear, within days of Tim Davie’s brave fighting words, he’s already backtracking.

Is two U turns in one week a donut?
It’s always been the case that for TV only NEWS BBC staff had to stay impartial on social media, and the rule didn’t apply to non-news presenters like Lineker, Attenborough, Chris Pakham.
Radio presenters were all supposed to follow the first rule
but most like, Brian Cox, Adam Rutherford, Vine etc. just ignored it
Greetings. I have a question.
Whenever there is a breaking mass casualty incident – such as the one in Birmingham – the BBC calls for witnesses to report in to them and then they say it will be their editorial decision as to which testimony they will use.
My question is this: why on earth are the BBC interfering with the police investigation? Surely the BBC should be requesting witnesses to contact the police?
It seems that the BBC feels entitled to interfere with police investigations in the same way it interferes in democratic elections.
Maybe it is ‘mostly not interfering’.

breaking : One death declared in the Birmingham car-kabaddi match
Not entirely BBC.
The justification for left wing ‘comedy’ appears to be that it is inherently subversive and hence anti-establishment and so anti-government. The Tories (or so-called Tories) keep winning elections so comedy is left wing by default.
So with that in mind I merely draw your attention to the fact that Spitting Image went off the air shortly before Blair won in 1997 and, hey presto, is coming back now Boris is in with the first big working Tory majority since 1987.
How very impartial. Not.
Is there a repeat match Sunday night ? Did the dead one have a colour or was he she it whitee in which no further reporting need be done ….
