According to the Daily Express headline, Dancing Terry May is now wading into the Brexit negotiations, berating Prime Minister Johnson for changing the terms of the Northern Ireland clauses in her treasonous withdrawal agreement.

The new DG probably is ‘one of them’ and anything he does will be window dressing aimed at trying to calm the clamour for an end to the License Fee. The BBC will sail on regardless of what its few remaining viewers actually want or what those who are forced to pay for it think. But even if Davie was telling us the truth about what he wanted to do , restore impartiality and represent the whole country, he would have zero chance of achieving it. The BBC has 20,000 employees and well over 19000 of them are mad Wokists who believe that they have a mission to change not just the UK but the world. Unless even a determined DG was prepared to sack thousands of them and replace them with people who desired his changes nothing of substance would ever change.
Basically , as has been said many times, the BBC is beyond reform.
Personally I think that abolition and obliteration, even of its memory , is required because if it is forced to become a subscription service it could easily revert under a Wokist government to being state funded. The day the BBC died should be a national holiday .

Dear Foscari
I am a senior BBC executive (minor public school; PPE at Oxford; have met several black people during my life and spoken to one of them to ask for another cup of tea; personally affected by the removal of free TV licences for the over-75s). I have to remain nameless, given that we now have an openly Fascist Director General at the BBC. However, I feel compelled to respond to your comment regarding the reporting of the largely peaceful knife rampage in Birmingham at the weekend. You state that the BBC did not want the public to know who the alleged perpetrator was. This is a complete misapprehension. The BBC is wholly committed to diversity, inclusion and objective reporting. In this case, we took the correct editorial decision that to describe the ethnicity of the accused or to publish one of the many CCTV images would serve no useful purpose. Such an incident could have equally well involved a well dressed businessman, an elderly grandmother or the wife of a vicar. Reporting on the ethnicity or migration status of the most vulnerable members of society only serves to marginalise and stigmatise them even further. Even worse, it could even undo some of the wonderful work being done by BLM in addressing historical injustice. I also draw exception to your claim that the so-called news story was quickly removed from our coverage. Considerable effort and skill is expended on deciding which stories do not fit the narrative and therefore have to be dropped quickly, as opposed to those which are of enduring importance and therefore need to be retained for weeks on end, such as the deranged utterances of Joe Biden.
Yours sincerely etc

snuff- Is the answer: because the victims are, in the main, white farmers? And white victims are of no interest, as their murders would undermine the racist bbc narrative, however brutal the killings?
Also, food security in SA is probably of no interest to beeb either, as long as no starving black children can be shown on screen?

Sure I’m not alone, but really one would have thought the Government would have considered all the implications before uttering the word Lockdown’ it immediately puts panic buying into the minds of Joe public, and also runs the risk of causing further economic pressure all round. Its an unnecessary knee Jerk reaction. If we take care of the very elderly and those most vunerable to the effects of the virus, it is likely as says a Swedish Minister, that the number of serious cases will reduce down to managable levels. No Panic. Fearmongering is ever present from the Media and from the BBC et al-they rely on this matter otherwise they would have little of real interest to inform us of.

Extremist Rebellion arrested protester is a jihadi bride

Two years ago it was alleged Natalie Bracht travelled to Syria in 2014 where she married an ISIS fighter from London, later telling the press
“I have accepted I am a full-time terror suspect without conviction.”
She is now being convicted for terrorism of a different sort…”
” Natalie Bracht only returned to the UK last month after being repatriated from Germany and has already found herself appearing in Luton’s Magistrates’ Court faced with charges of obstruction of the highway.
Guido can’t imagine what drew the 45-year-old supporter of a medieval, anti-democratic cult to ISIS…”

Oh, there’s lots of racism in Italian fashion alright:
1. Vast amounts of the fashion industry sold off to Chinese companies.
2. Huge numbers of Chinese workers subsequently imported to work in the factories for lower rates and worse conditions than the local Italians.
3. A campaign in February, endorsed by the Mayor of Florence, to ‘hug a Chinaman’. Oddly enough, a vast and fatal epidemic of Covid-19 in the following weeks.
That’s the real racism that the BBC and other globalist lickspittles don’t want to talk about.

It’s not just the BBC that are constantly pandering to the pandemic panic. I’ve just seen old Humpty Dumpty on Sky interviewing some random scientific spokesman. Blimey, what a ray of sunshine…
The bloke’s whole demeanour was depressing. I felt like slitting my bleedin’ throat just looking at the wretch, but listening to him was even worse.
“Yes, I think we need to return to more social distancing” he droned. “The figures are increasing…people have been out enjoying themselves…that’s understandable I suppose…” I honestly don’t think this bloke’s ever enjoyed himself in his entire life. “We’ll probably have to go back to where we were a few months ago…” Oh joy!
He offered no reasoning for his miserable predictions, just a real sense of gloom. You can bet your bottom dollar that this diatribe will be adopted up by Krankie, picked up and weaponised by the BBC and soon bumbling Boris will have bottled it, done his usual U turn and we’ll all be housebound for winter.
I’m not sure who this miserable advisor he is, or what he actually does.

Johnathon Jones , the government’s senior lawyer and head of the civil service legal department, has resigned , apparently because he is unhappy about the way in which the government intends to interpret the EU withdrawal agreement opposite NI. He was appointed to his post six years ago . I expect he voted Remain and has been trying hard to soften Brexit as much as he could. He must now feel his best course of action is to come out into the open and provide the Remainer media, BBC, Sky, Times et al with his ‘expert opinion’ as to how badly this government is behaving opposite the EU. Stand by for yet another Remainerdom feeding frenzy. You would have thought that as a senior civil servant he ought to keep his council but he won’t.
The Remainers can howl all they like, the louder the better in fact , but it is unlikely to make much difference. However, I do worry that this could be the precursor to yet another legal challenge , judicial review , referral to the Supreme Court or similar. If the government’s own lawyer , no matter what his motivation is or how spurious his grounds are, openly says he believes that the government is acting unlawfully you can expect someone to try to pull another legal delaying stunt and for the judiciary to welcome the opportunity to jam more spokes in the Brexit wheel.
Remainers hold many of the levers of power and have already shown us numerous times that they will use them ruthlessly to either get their way or at the very least to stop a full and fair Brexit being achieved. Stand by.

BBC lunchtime news ran an interview with a young chappie who was warning that all those people who can’t return to work because basically they don’t want to will be hit hard by the nasty Tory Government when the furlough scheme ends…especially as so many horrible private companies are wilfully shedding staff just because they have no staff at work and therefore no income stream.
I smelled a rat so I hit the keyboard and decided to do what the BBC euphemistically refer to as Reality-Checking….
I picked up the name of his organisation displayed in tiny lettering at the bottom of the screen, He was from an outfit called the “Resolution Foundation”. A look at their website reveals that they basically want everyone to have as much cash as they need from the despicable companies they work for including life-long pensions enforced by law.
The other interesting snippet on their website reveals that they are “generously funded” by yet another outfit called “Unbound Philanthropy”.
Unbound Philanthropy are described by Influencewatch.org as….
“A New York City based left-wing donor affinity group that primarily support left of centre liberal expansionist immigration policies”
Also on the Unbound Website the quote. “We are a private independent grant making foundation that invests in leaders and organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom working to build a vibrant, welcoming society and just immigration system”
Also…
Influence Watch also states that Unbound Philanthropy has close ties with…. Yes you might have guessed it… George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
Not hard to guess how the BBC found this strange chap and why they they decided to give him prime air time..
The open-doors, globalist brigade are like a many-headed hydra and the BBC are at its beating heart.
This charade thinly disguised as an Economics “News Item” proves beyond any doubt that the BBC regard themselves as a left-wing globalist political organisation. Time they went!

I see that the Mail is reporting that Ofcom have had close to 3000 complaints about the horrible ‘Diversity’ alleged dance routine on Saturday prime time.
Not sure how these complaints have reached Ofcom as they have to be first rejected by the BBC (which is always an inevitability anyway) but there you are.
According to the DM Ofcom are considering an investigation. They needn’t bother, I can already tell them the outcome without the need to waste any time.
The cowardly useless incompetent far Left Tories appointed a politically correct monster to head Ofcom, after the previous PC monster Sharon White resigned. This is a woman who made diversity into a new weapon, a so called ‘diversity champion’, and there is no way on Earth she would ever find a group calling itself ‘diversity’ performing an incident which sparked Marxist BLM protests guilty of anything.
Even if this lot had dropped their pants on stage and waved their privates around to shocked middle aged TV viewers she would have a hard time condemning it if they claimed it was in support of BLM!

BBC apologise to the Government – er sorry , the Muslim Council of GB for reporting that the Arena Muslim terrorist prayed before he participated in terror.
(Perhaps the BBC could speak out and inform people that in Islam terror can be an act of purification. And it may be prudent to note that an act of prayer may be followed by an act of terror.

Miqdaad said the praying claims were vague unsubstantiated.
To put an unverified, misleading, and frankly irrelevant claim as the headline on the front page of the news website, was wrong.
Prayer is not an indicator of terrorism, nor relevant to terrorist activity.
That is BS cos praying at a venue is suspicious.
But actually like a stopped clock Miqdaad is right about the title.
The Telegraph reports 4 witnesses raised suspicions A, B, C, D.
One specifically saw him praying.
3 people had general suspicion, so the new title is right.
Had only the 1 person who saw him praying raised suspicion.. then that would be the correct title.
The parents, known only as Witness A and Witness B, noticed Abedi “sitting on the floor” in the mezzanine area of the Arena with a large rucksack.
Witness A “thought the man looked out of place”, prompting him to approach Abedi and ask him what he had in his bag.
“Witness A said ‘it doesn’t look very good, you know, what you see with bombs and such, and you with a rucksack like this in a place like this, what are you doing?’,” Mr Greaney QC told the inquiry.
Abedi said he was waiting for a friend before asking for the time.
Witness A reported him to a Showsec security guard, Mohammed Agha, but felt “fobbed off” because he did not seem interested, the court heard.
In a separate incident, Julie Merchant, a private security employee, pointed out Abedi to a British Transport Police officer 32 minutes before he detonated the device after her colleague (C) saw him praying, with a large backpack by his side.
(D) a former member of the Armed Forces also raised concern about Abedi’s presence in the foyer, telling security staff: “I am ex-military and he should not be here”.
The court heard how one of the security guards (E) who was monitoring Abedi following the reports of suspicious behaviour, “froze” as the attacker walked toward the young children and families pouring out of the concert hall.
“I just froze and didn’t get anything out on the radio. I knew at that point it was too late,” he said in a police statement. Abedi detonated his bomb seconds later.
In a report for the inquiry, security experts concluded that “there was enough time” to acknowledge Abedi’s threat and contact emergency services to clear the room and divert the crowds in another direction.
The court was also shown CCTV footage of Abedi carrying out “hostile reconnaissance” of the Arena on two occasions in the days leading up to the attack.

SG,
On that sequence of events, the corollary of the tale is, treat any Middle Eastern looking individual with the utmost suspicion particularly if he/she is carrying a bag or shows a bulge under whatever clothing he/she is wearing. In fact, simply keep a safe distance from any Middle Eastern person. But that’s ‘Racist’ surely? No, it is self-preservation.
