Just watched Ross Hawkins on BBC (I was waiting for weather forecast) tell me YET AGAIN there is NO EVIDENCE of vote tampering / fraud in the USA election !!!!!
Staggering how many BBC journos haven’t been on the internet since election night !!!!!! Because it’s EVERYWHERE Ross you smarmy , smug little turd.
Keep going Mr President
Nevada is turning out to be a cesspool of Fake Votes. @mschlapp & @AdamLaxalt are finding things that, when released, will be absolutely shocking!
1/2 Many people are, quite understandably, asking why I’ve waited till now to come forward with the truth about how the @BBCPanorama with my sister came about. While I knew that Martin Bashir used fake bank statements and other dishonesty to get my sister to do the interview,…
2/2 … what I only found out 2 weeks ago, thanks to journalist Andy Webb’s persistent use of the Freedom of Information Act, is that the BBC also knew. Not only knew about it, but that they covered it up.
Not the BBC, but an example of the psychological warfare we’re facing and how it affects right-leaning sources as well. The link is their ‘reputation’ which breeds laziness and entitlement – they think that because they have status they don’t need to do anything to justify it.
No evidence is provided for this claim, other than “a source.” In fact, it’s not backed up by anything as Melania has come across as phenomenally supportive of Trump and has been recorded privately talking about how angry she is with the media’s misrepresentation of them both. To further confirm the sensationalism of this, they state that she “famously cried on election night in 2016 because she didn’t think he’d win.” The insinuation is that she wanted him to lose so she could leave him, but it could just as easily have been tears of happiness if it’s true. It’s just vague enough that they can claim plausile deniability, but the suggestion is obvious. As an aside, most of the media – again, both left and right – are saying (without evidence – how ironic!) that Trump’s family are telling him to concede. In fact, Melania, Donald Trump Jr, and Eric Trump have all publicly expressed their support for him and that it’s his constituional duty as president to see this through and ensure the election was legitimate.
For whatever reason, Trump has become the American equivalent of Tommy Robinson for the British mainstream media. He’s beyond the pale regardless of his policies. What has he actually done to deserve any of this? They like to tell us it’s because of his brash manner or his politically incorrect rhetoric, but this is cognitive dissonence in right-wing news and indeed in many left-wing papers where they hire several contributers whose main objective seems to be as triumphalist and inflammatory as possible to get attention and clickbait. The real reason they hate Trump is because a) everyone else in the media circle-jerk is doing it and they don’t want to be the one that points out the emperor has no clothes, and b) he’s an outsider who, regardless of whether he’s self-made or not and his bankruptcies etc, has spent his entire career with the working and middle classes. It essentially comes down to snobbery, since it’s obviously not anything to do with his politics as most of them are similar to those of the media constantly attacking him.
Remember though, as Brexit has shown, their real target isn’t really Trump but those who support him. They hate the fact that they have to share a country with people who don’t subscribe to cultural Marxism or identity victimhood and who don’t believe the world owes them everything and would rather earn it themselves. They hate the fact that Trump was able to circumvent the narrative and win two elections over establishment candidates, destroying the polls in the process. Most importantly, they hate the fact that he won’t give an inch to them, that he sees things for what they are and not what they want them to be, and that over 70 million people in the US alone are equally immune to their misinformation and hyperbole.
As Trump himself said, “it’s you they’re after – I’m just in their way.” The Democrats have proven that by stealing their election result away from them just to spite one person. I have faith that both Trump and the American people won’t allow them to succeed in the end.
What a sad indictment of a famous, locally well-recognised group of buildings, where thousands of our brave soldiers spent their last night in England before they left to go and bring stability to so many of the shitehole countries in the world, and usually die in the process.
I wonder if the keys are still around, so we can shut the bloody gates there for good.

Trump voters are the same patriots as Brexit voters, and for four years the BBC has done all it can to disparage them and delegitimize their votes, just it did to disparage you and delegitimize yours.
Not directly BBC but does call rather a lot of their sycophantic reporting into question.
ITV 10 pm news have a feature on the amount of covid cases caught in hospital.
An astonishing figure of around 13% on average (20% in the highest areas) of covid hospital deaths arise from patients who caught the disease when in hospital for something else. It happened to a friend of ours.
This is an utter scandal yet gets almost no traction.
Not exactly supporting the ‘NHS heroes’ narrative is it?
So, how about getting some of the hundreds of BBC journalists off their backsides and looking into this.
I know of a chap who caught Covid-19 whilst in hospital after a stroke. The medical staff then told his wife that he would not be resuscitated, notwithstanding the fact that he had contracted it whilst in their care and, I would argue, on account of their negligence.
I don’t know what the chap’s wife said but I know what I’d have said – and done – had it been someone close to me.
Remarkably, he recovered. He’s still got a way to go in terms of rehabilitation but I think he’ll get there; he’s made of the right stuff.
One of the many reasons I regard medics as just another job – try to fight them and ‘reprisals ‘ will be made – which can include killing you .
Motivated by status and money …..
When I was a student, I started having serious trouble in focusing on small print. This was accompanied by severe headaches.
I was referred to an opthalmologist, who quite literally accused me of lying. In his opinion, I had invented the ailments I complained of.
Through the university I was able to see another specialist a few months later. This chap knew his retina from his iris. He diagnosed the problem right away and arranged for me to be booked in for surgery.
Long story short. The op was (mostly) successful but I contracted an eye infection when I returned to university, as a result of which I had to sit the next year out. [I later resumed my studies and graduated a couple of years after I should have.]
Had the first specialist been competent instead of an ignorant fool then I’d have had my op in the summer break, thus allowing my eyes plenty of time to heal before returning to uni.
I should have sued but my focus was on completing my degree and finding a training post.
Still, at least the quack eye doctor didn’t put my life in jeopardy, unlike the medical staff who effed up a routine op when I was 13…
NHS Heroes? Nah. They’re just like the rest of us – some are great, others not so much.
They’ve had months to sort this out, yetbthe useless tossers are killingnpeoplevevery day and getting away with it.
Not reported by the BBC, needless to say.
There is a real world
.. but when you are watching a MSM news broadcast it’s little different from watching a movie channel
which says “This drama is based on reality”
You know when it says that the exciting story often has very little to do with what actually happened.
And my how shocked you are when later you find out that the HUGE CONTEXTS they left out.
SG, that is why I show videos of musicians it is one of “their” tactics to show we are all at odds and I can show from years and years ago this is not true please let me demonstrate
From the centre of the Earth, Dicktor Van Doomcock takes aim at the BBC. . . actually, there’s nothing really new in this video but at least he’s spreading the word about the Beeb in the U.S. He has 214k subscribers, 45k views of this video in the last four hours.
The opening part of the video is about an actor from TV series The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal, who posted a meme on Twitter about “Losers in 1865/1945/2020” with images of Confederate & Nazi flags and a MAGA hat.

‘When people around the world think of Britain, they think of the Royal family, and the Premier League. And they think of the BBC. From the moment its first radio transmitter crackled into life a century ago, our oldest broadcaster has been a steadfast national institution, a champion of British values across the globe. But 100 years on, it’s time to ask what we want from the BBC of the future.
The pandemic has illustrated what the BBC does best. It has helped us educate our children, and been a trusted source of information on the virus. And it has provided a national gathering place for millions tuning in to hear government updates or watch the first live Premier League game on the BBC.
But while Covid has brought out the best in the BBC, that hasn’t made it immune to some stark realities. The first is the utter transformation of the media landscape. The rise of Netflix, Amazon Prime and others has lobbed a grenade into the system – upending the way most of us consume our favourite shows.
The second is the growing number of questions the BBC faces over some of its key commitments. Is the Beeb continuing to deliver value for money for licence-fee payers? Is it keeping the British public’s confidence when it comes to its impartiality, and does it truly represent the nation?
By the latter, I mean the entire nation. Someone switching on their TV from their semi in Bradford should feel just as represented by the Beeb as a person watching in their Islington townhouse. Instead, a growing number of viewers feel harangued or ignored when they tune in – and not just by the news output, but by its drama and comedy too.
So, as negotiations over the level of the next licence fee kick off, I have formally written to the BBC asking them for answers to six key questions. Those include: how will it make savings, including around talent pay levels? How will the next licence-fee level affect the vulnerable, the elderly, and those on the lowest incomes? And how will it use its global might to fly the flag for Britain?
However, the BBC is just one piece of a bigger puzzle. The world has changed, and every broadcaster needs to change with it. So I’m taking a close look at the future of our entire public service broadcasting system. That includes ITV and Channels 4 and 5 – and S4C in Wales and STV in Scotland, both of which are important to those nations.
Today I am pulling together a team of broadcasting and tech heavyweights to help us shape the future of public broadcasting. This 10-strong panel won’t just be tiptoeing around the edges. They have been tasked with asking really profound questions about the role these broadcasters have to play in the digital age – and indeed whether we need them at all. It is a crucial task, given how central public service broadcasters are to our entire creative ecosystem.
Together, they employ more than 20,000 staff, and indirectly support the employment of tens of thousands more. They helped drive £3.3 billion in revenue last year, and they beam the best of Britain – our culture, our talent, our castles, churches and more – into homes around the world.
We’ve got to get this right. Public service broadcasting has already lived, adapted and thrived through a hundred years of history. It’s time to start thinking about what it does next.’
Public service broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4 face “profound questions” about their role in the digital age, the Culture Secretary has said, as he begins fresh negotiations over the licence fee.
Oliver Dowden will on Tuesday announce a new panel of experts to assess the future of public service broadcasting as he suggests there is a genuine debate over whether “we need them at all.”
Writing for The Telegraph, Mr Dowden says that the panel of broadcasting, journalism and technology leaders will not be “tiptoeing around the edges” but rather “drilling right down into the current system and how it operates.”
With the media landscape experiencing an “utter transformation” in recent years, he adds that the rise of Netflix and Amazon Prime has “lobbed a grenade into the system” and poses serious questions about the “role that all broadcasters have to play in the digital age.”
While praising the BBC’s role during the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Dowden also says there are a “growing number of questions” about whether it is delivering value for money and upholding its reputation for impartiality.
Amid growing allegations that the broadcaster is too narrowly targeted at metropolitan viewers, he argues that “a growing number of viewers feel harangued or ignored” in news, drama and comedy and it must change to ensure it reflects the views of the “entire nation.”
However, signalling a wider reevaluation of public service broadcasting, Mr Dowden writes that the BBC is part of a “much bigger puzzle” that he will now take a “close look at.”
“That includes ITV and Channels 4 and 5 – and S4C in Wales and STV in Scotland, who are particularly important to those nations,” he continues.
“It’s time to ask really profound questions about the role that all of those broadcasters have to play in the digital age – and indeed whether we need them at all.
“These bold questions require bold answers. So today I am pulling together a team of broadcasting and tech heavyweights to help us shape the future of public broadcasting in the UK. This 10-strong panel won’t just be tiptoeing around the edges.
“They have been tasked with drilling right down into the current system and how it operates. Public service broadcasting has already lived, adapted and thrived through a hundred years of history. It’s time to start thinking about what it does next.”
The 10-strong panel includes Tory peers Lord Grade, the former chief executive of Channel 4, Baroness Bertin, a former press secretary to David Cameron, Sir Robbie Gibb, the former director of communications to Theresa May and head of BBC Westminster, and Andrew Griffith MP, Boris Johnson’s former business tsar and chief operating officer of Sky Group PLC.
Facebook’s Vice President for Europe Nicola Mendelsohn, and former senior executives of Sky, ITN and Endemol Shine are also on the panel.
With traditional broadcasters facing a gradual decline in audiences as viewers defect to streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+, Ofcom last year recommended that the Government legislate to ensure that viewers can continue to find the BBC and other public service broadcasters across the array of new smart TVs, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.
The watchdog is currently carrying out a review into how public service broadcasting should be delivered and funded, with a consultation expected to be published at the end of the year.
While the Government has committed to updating the system, Whitehall sources suggested there was a legitimate debate about whether public service broadcasters should be given top slots on electronic programming guides or whether the process should be market-led.
With a number of broadcasters suffering from declines in advertising revenue, scrapping their public services obligations – such as providing news and educational programmes – would allow them to focus on more profitable areas.
It comes after Mr Dowden last month told MPs that the privatisation of Channel 4 would be on “the table”.
The broadcaster has a remit in law to reach younger audiences. However, the amount of time 16 to 24-year-olds spend watching broadcast TV each day fell 49pc to 85 minutes between 2010 and 2018, according to Ofcom.
Channel 4 is also unable to capitalise on the strong demand from Netflix and its rivals for box-sets, as the rules under which it was established by the Thatcher government prevent it owning the rights to most of its programmes.’
Ends
So it looks like the consultation on decriminalising ‘no licence ‘ was a waste of time and that the culture secretary is a ‘no change ‘ time server – red Tory…
Waiting for this or any other UK government to force the BBC to become a subscription only service is pointless , they just won’t do it. Either because they are terrified of the BBC or are actually it’s supporters. So we must do it ourselves . If enough people stop paying the LF , say a couple of hundred thousand, what will the BBC be able to do about it? They can’t prosecute two hundred thousand people! Once a hundred thousand have done it many many more will follow but of course a lot will still watch the BBC crap for free. Within a year the BBC would be on its knees begging for a government hand out which surely not even this bunch of Tory wimps would agree to! The only alternative would be to stop those viewing for free by becoming a subscription service. Job done. Of course Labour would probably opt for funding by general taxation at some point in the future but we would have won a victory , even if only a short lived one, against the globalist liberal left.

Much of the focus of the US election has been the battle for the presidency between two white men. But the nationwide ballot also saw Kamala Harris set to become the first woman vice president and a record number of women voted into Congress – the part of the US government that writes and passes laws. Republican women have made particular progress this election after struggling to replicate the recent success of the Democrats. The 2020 election has also seen women of colour solidify presence in the two chambers.

A bit like somebody tweeting a picture of Liverpool fans celebrating winning the Champions League and claiming they were out to support him, isn’t it. The name of that somebody escapes me, perhaps you could remind me. Seems like something a loser would do.
Big pharma Pfizer are gifted headline adverts by most of our national newspapers this morning. But what protection for our precious NHS, we wonder as it is opened up to the mercy of this US-based multinational drugs giant? – Oh, so we don’t fret over that stuff anymore?
There’s frontpage product placement in the Mirror: ‘Our little bottle of hope’ as also in the Express: ‘Great day for humanity and science , say experts’, whilst the ‘i’ takes care to picture a non-branded generic little bottle of magic covid cure on their frontpage: ‘Vaccine discovery: the world celebrates’

Looking out over a practically deserted high street with closed down shops and the odd fearful-looking masked figure shuffling about I can’t seem to get that post-apocalyptic Will Smith movie out of my head. I Am Legend – that was the one. Now what set off the crisis for humanity in that zombified fantasy thriller? Help me out wikipedia… “a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind” – nasty.
I remember how that film started now. Emma Thompson played the British medical scientist being interviewed on US TV about her world-saving discovery. IMBD provides the quote from the TV interviewer: “The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants. But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Krippin. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.”
What could go wrong? Cut to wild animals roaming the long-deserted streets of an abandoned New York city. Or, something like that.
I do admire the use of the name Krippin. We’ll return to infamous British killers later. Although Krippin was infact American.
The freebie Metro says: ‘A shot in the arm to beat covid’ – or a shot in the dark?
The Telegraph of course joins the press pack with: ‘A great day for humanity’ but does temper its exaltation with: ‘How to keep a lid on the excitment?’
Seems we need to invoke that tired old cliche “ironically enough” here. Because the Telegraph front page also carries a little report: ‘Multivitamim benefits may be psychological’
They do say it’s an ill wind that blows no good. The Daily Star has news of Peter Sutcliffe apparently suffering with covid: ‘Ripper is very ill’
The FT expresses relief that global crony capitalism is apparently back in the driving seat: ‘Leaderless global populist movement must look beyond Trumpism’

Said it once and will say it again, T. Blair is a traitor to the United Kingdom, he should have been locked up, or never have been allowed to remain in this nation. The Middle East amongst the dirt of corruption and its evil, is where he should be. I was nearly sick when I saw him along with another traitor Major, attend the Sunday service at the Cenotaph.
If you’re not already, make sure to regularly check Citizen Free Press and The Gateway Pundit. Not only are they absolutely shredding this coup attempt in the US and proving that the liberal media’s claims of Biden having already sewn this up are all a smokescreen, but the comments from the latter especially show a huge amount of positivity and optimism that this is going to eventually go their way. I’m inclined to agree, given the sheer amount of evidence now available that the Democrats fabricated this.
Also check out Newsmax at some point if you want a true conservative-leaning but factual and accurate media outlet. They’re actually reporting on the fraud and along with OAN are rising massively due to the exodus of Fox viewers.

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade hereabouts but whatever the electoral malfeasance may have been, I’m afraid we do have a fait accompli. JFK is now widely believed to have stolen the 1960 Presidential election – or his father paid for it for him. All we can do is to know our enemy and learn from this experience. Don’t get fooled again – as The Who would have said.
I would say that the most important thing I have learned from brexit and Trump is what devious, ethically-barren hypocrites the Left really are. Nothing can put that genie back in the bottle.
They have been so consumed with their own hate and spite that they abandoned the veneer of moral superiority they try to project.
‘Love Thy Neighbour’ got it spot on. Eddie was a hard-left militant with a ‘stop racialism’ sticker in his car window – but turned out to be the biggest racist of anyone when it affected him personally.

One apposite comment from The despised Thatcher:
“The state has no source of money, other than the money people earn themselves. If the state wishes to spend more it can only do so by borrowing your savings, or by taxing you more. And it’s no good thinking that someone else will pay. That someone else is you.”
“There is no such thing as public money. There is only taxpayers’ money.”

Not the BBC, but an example of the psychological warfare we’re facing and how it affects right-leaning sources as well. The link is their ‘reputation’ which breeds laziness and entitlement – they think that because they have status they don’t need to do anything to justify it.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8925347/amp/Melania-Trump-counting-minutes-divorce-Donald-leaves-White-House.html
No evidence is provided for this claim, other than “a source.” In fact, it’s not backed up by anything as Melania has come across as phenomenally supportive of Trump and has been recorded privately talking about how angry she is with the media’s misrepresentation of them both. To further confirm the sensationalism of this, they state that she “famously cried on election night in 2016 because she didn’t think he’d win.” The insinuation is that she wanted him to lose so she could leave him, but it could just as easily have been tears of happiness if it’s true. It’s just vague enough that they can claim plausile deniability, but the suggestion is obvious. As an aside, most of the media – again, both left and right – are saying (without evidence – how ironic!) that Trump’s family are telling him to concede. In fact, Melania, Donald Trump Jr, and Eric Trump have all publicly expressed their support for him and that it’s his constituional duty as president to see this through and ensure the election was legitimate.
For whatever reason, Trump has become the American equivalent of Tommy Robinson for the British mainstream media. He’s beyond the pale regardless of his policies. What has he actually done to deserve any of this? They like to tell us it’s because of his brash manner or his politically incorrect rhetoric, but this is cognitive dissonence in right-wing news and indeed in many left-wing papers where they hire several contributers whose main objective seems to be as triumphalist and inflammatory as possible to get attention and clickbait. The real reason they hate Trump is because a) everyone else in the media circle-jerk is doing it and they don’t want to be the one that points out the emperor has no clothes, and b) he’s an outsider who, regardless of whether he’s self-made or not and his bankruptcies etc, has spent his entire career with the working and middle classes. It essentially comes down to snobbery, since it’s obviously not anything to do with his politics as most of them are similar to those of the media constantly attacking him.
Remember though, as Brexit has shown, their real target isn’t really Trump but those who support him. They hate the fact that they have to share a country with people who don’t subscribe to cultural Marxism or identity victimhood and who don’t believe the world owes them everything and would rather earn it themselves. They hate the fact that Trump was able to circumvent the narrative and win two elections over establishment candidates, destroying the polls in the process. Most importantly, they hate the fact that he won’t give an inch to them, that he sees things for what they are and not what they want them to be, and that over 70 million people in the US alone are equally immune to their misinformation and hyperbole.
As Trump himself said, “it’s you they’re after – I’m just in their way.” The Democrats have proven that by stealing their election result away from them just to spite one person. I have faith that both Trump and the American people won’t allow them to succeed in the end.

Not directly BBC but does call rather a lot of their sycophantic reporting into question.
ITV 10 pm news have a feature on the amount of covid cases caught in hospital.
An astonishing figure of around 13% on average (20% in the highest areas) of covid hospital deaths arise from patients who caught the disease when in hospital for something else. It happened to a friend of ours.
This is an utter scandal yet gets almost no traction.
Not exactly supporting the ‘NHS heroes’ narrative is it?
So, how about getting some of the hundreds of BBC journalists off their backsides and looking into this.
No? Thought not.

Sluff,
I know of a chap who caught Covid-19 whilst in hospital after a stroke. The medical staff then told his wife that he would not be resuscitated, notwithstanding the fact that he had contracted it whilst in their care and, I would argue, on account of their negligence.
I don’t know what the chap’s wife said but I know what I’d have said – and done – had it been someone close to me.
Remarkably, he recovered. He’s still got a way to go in terms of rehabilitation but I think he’ll get there; he’s made of the right stuff.

Fed,
When I was a student, I started having serious trouble in focusing on small print. This was accompanied by severe headaches.
I was referred to an opthalmologist, who quite literally accused me of lying. In his opinion, I had invented the ailments I complained of.
Through the university I was able to see another specialist a few months later. This chap knew his retina from his iris. He diagnosed the problem right away and arranged for me to be booked in for surgery.
Long story short. The op was (mostly) successful but I contracted an eye infection when I returned to university, as a result of which I had to sit the next year out. [I later resumed my studies and graduated a couple of years after I should have.]
Had the first specialist been competent instead of an ignorant fool then I’d have had my op in the summer break, thus allowing my eyes plenty of time to heal before returning to uni.
I should have sued but my focus was on completing my degree and finding a training post.
Still, at least the quack eye doctor didn’t put my life in jeopardy, unlike the medical staff who effed up a routine op when I was 13…

In the telegraph – a culture secretary write ;
‘When people around the world think of Britain, they think of the Royal family, and the Premier League. And they think of the BBC. From the moment its first radio transmitter crackled into life a century ago, our oldest broadcaster has been a steadfast national institution, a champion of British values across the globe. But 100 years on, it’s time to ask what we want from the BBC of the future.
The pandemic has illustrated what the BBC does best. It has helped us educate our children, and been a trusted source of information on the virus. And it has provided a national gathering place for millions tuning in to hear government updates or watch the first live Premier League game on the BBC.
But while Covid has brought out the best in the BBC, that hasn’t made it immune to some stark realities. The first is the utter transformation of the media landscape. The rise of Netflix, Amazon Prime and others has lobbed a grenade into the system – upending the way most of us consume our favourite shows.
The second is the growing number of questions the BBC faces over some of its key commitments. Is the Beeb continuing to deliver value for money for licence-fee payers? Is it keeping the British public’s confidence when it comes to its impartiality, and does it truly represent the nation?
By the latter, I mean the entire nation. Someone switching on their TV from their semi in Bradford should feel just as represented by the Beeb as a person watching in their Islington townhouse. Instead, a growing number of viewers feel harangued or ignored when they tune in – and not just by the news output, but by its drama and comedy too.
So, as negotiations over the level of the next licence fee kick off, I have formally written to the BBC asking them for answers to six key questions. Those include: how will it make savings, including around talent pay levels? How will the next licence-fee level affect the vulnerable, the elderly, and those on the lowest incomes? And how will it use its global might to fly the flag for Britain?
However, the BBC is just one piece of a bigger puzzle. The world has changed, and every broadcaster needs to change with it. So I’m taking a close look at the future of our entire public service broadcasting system. That includes ITV and Channels 4 and 5 – and S4C in Wales and STV in Scotland, both of which are important to those nations.
Today I am pulling together a team of broadcasting and tech heavyweights to help us shape the future of public broadcasting. This 10-strong panel won’t just be tiptoeing around the edges. They have been tasked with asking really profound questions about the role these broadcasters have to play in the digital age – and indeed whether we need them at all. It is a crucial task, given how central public service broadcasters are to our entire creative ecosystem.
Together, they employ more than 20,000 staff, and indirectly support the employment of tens of thousands more. They helped drive £3.3 billion in revenue last year, and they beam the best of Britain – our culture, our talent, our castles, churches and more – into homes around the world.
We’ve got to get this right. Public service broadcasting has already lived, adapted and thrived through a hundred years of history. It’s time to start thinking about what it does next.’

Follow up telegraph article –
Public service broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4 face “profound questions” about their role in the digital age, the Culture Secretary has said, as he begins fresh negotiations over the licence fee.
Oliver Dowden will on Tuesday announce a new panel of experts to assess the future of public service broadcasting as he suggests there is a genuine debate over whether “we need them at all.”
Writing for The Telegraph, Mr Dowden says that the panel of broadcasting, journalism and technology leaders will not be “tiptoeing around the edges” but rather “drilling right down into the current system and how it operates.”
With the media landscape experiencing an “utter transformation” in recent years, he adds that the rise of Netflix and Amazon Prime has “lobbed a grenade into the system” and poses serious questions about the “role that all broadcasters have to play in the digital age.”
While praising the BBC’s role during the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Dowden also says there are a “growing number of questions” about whether it is delivering value for money and upholding its reputation for impartiality.
Amid growing allegations that the broadcaster is too narrowly targeted at metropolitan viewers, he argues that “a growing number of viewers feel harangued or ignored” in news, drama and comedy and it must change to ensure it reflects the views of the “entire nation.”
However, signalling a wider reevaluation of public service broadcasting, Mr Dowden writes that the BBC is part of a “much bigger puzzle” that he will now take a “close look at.”
“That includes ITV and Channels 4 and 5 – and S4C in Wales and STV in Scotland, who are particularly important to those nations,” he continues.
“It’s time to ask really profound questions about the role that all of those broadcasters have to play in the digital age – and indeed whether we need them at all.
“These bold questions require bold answers. So today I am pulling together a team of broadcasting and tech heavyweights to help us shape the future of public broadcasting in the UK. This 10-strong panel won’t just be tiptoeing around the edges.
“They have been tasked with drilling right down into the current system and how it operates. Public service broadcasting has already lived, adapted and thrived through a hundred years of history. It’s time to start thinking about what it does next.”
The 10-strong panel includes Tory peers Lord Grade, the former chief executive of Channel 4, Baroness Bertin, a former press secretary to David Cameron, Sir Robbie Gibb, the former director of communications to Theresa May and head of BBC Westminster, and Andrew Griffith MP, Boris Johnson’s former business tsar and chief operating officer of Sky Group PLC.
Facebook’s Vice President for Europe Nicola Mendelsohn, and former senior executives of Sky, ITN and Endemol Shine are also on the panel.
With traditional broadcasters facing a gradual decline in audiences as viewers defect to streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+, Ofcom last year recommended that the Government legislate to ensure that viewers can continue to find the BBC and other public service broadcasters across the array of new smart TVs, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.
The watchdog is currently carrying out a review into how public service broadcasting should be delivered and funded, with a consultation expected to be published at the end of the year.
While the Government has committed to updating the system, Whitehall sources suggested there was a legitimate debate about whether public service broadcasters should be given top slots on electronic programming guides or whether the process should be market-led.
With a number of broadcasters suffering from declines in advertising revenue, scrapping their public services obligations – such as providing news and educational programmes – would allow them to focus on more profitable areas.
It comes after Mr Dowden last month told MPs that the privatisation of Channel 4 would be on “the table”.
The broadcaster has a remit in law to reach younger audiences. However, the amount of time 16 to 24-year-olds spend watching broadcast TV each day fell 49pc to 85 minutes between 2010 and 2018, according to Ofcom.
Channel 4 is also unable to capitalise on the strong demand from Netflix and its rivals for box-sets, as the rules under which it was established by the Thatcher government prevent it owning the rights to most of its programmes.’

Waiting for this or any other UK government to force the BBC to become a subscription only service is pointless , they just won’t do it. Either because they are terrified of the BBC or are actually it’s supporters. So we must do it ourselves . If enough people stop paying the LF , say a couple of hundred thousand, what will the BBC be able to do about it? They can’t prosecute two hundred thousand people! Once a hundred thousand have done it many many more will follow but of course a lot will still watch the BBC crap for free. Within a year the BBC would be on its knees begging for a government hand out which surely not even this bunch of Tory wimps would agree to! The only alternative would be to stop those viewing for free by becoming a subscription service. Job done. Of course Labour would probably opt for funding by general taxation at some point in the future but we would have won a victory , even if only a short lived one, against the globalist liberal left.

The women changing the face of US politics
Much of the focus of the US election has been the battle for the presidency between two white men. But the nationwide ballot also saw Kamala Harris set to become the first woman vice president and a record number of women voted into Congress – the part of the US government that writes and passes laws. Republican women have made particular progress this election after struggling to replicate the recent success of the Democrats. The 2020 election has also seen women of colour solidify presence in the two chambers.

There’s frontpage product placement in the Mirror: ‘Our little bottle of hope’ as also in the Express: ‘Great day for humanity and science , say experts’, whilst the ‘i’ takes care to picture a non-branded generic little bottle of magic covid cure on their frontpage: ‘Vaccine discovery: the world celebrates’
The Daily Star is positively orgasmic: ‘Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Viagra firm’s covid jab joy’ – referencing another of the company’s products. ‘The little blue pill people give us something else to shout about’
Looking out over a practically deserted high street with closed down shops and the odd fearful-looking masked figure shuffling about I can’t seem to get that post-apocalyptic Will Smith movie out of my head. I Am Legend – that was the one. Now what set off the crisis for humanity in that zombified fantasy thriller? Help me out wikipedia… “a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind” – nasty.
I remember how that film started now. Emma Thompson played the British medical scientist being interviewed on US TV about her world-saving discovery. IMBD provides the quote from the TV interviewer: “The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants. But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Krippin. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.”
What could go wrong? Cut to wild animals roaming the long-deserted streets of an abandoned New York city. Or, something like that.
I do admire the use of the name Krippin. We’ll return to infamous British killers later. Although Krippin was infact American.
The freebie Metro says: ‘A shot in the arm to beat covid’ – or a shot in the dark?
The Telegraph of course joins the press pack with: ‘A great day for humanity’ but does temper its exaltation with: ‘How to keep a lid on the excitment?’
Seems we need to invoke that tired old cliche “ironically enough” here. Because the Telegraph front page also carries a little report: ‘Multivitamim benefits may be psychological’
They do say it’s an ill wind that blows no good. The Daily Star has news of Peter Sutcliffe apparently suffering with covid: ‘Ripper is very ill’
The FT expresses relief that global crony capitalism is apparently back in the driving seat: ‘Leaderless global populist movement must look beyond Trumpism’

If you’re not already, make sure to regularly check Citizen Free Press and The Gateway Pundit. Not only are they absolutely shredding this coup attempt in the US and proving that the liberal media’s claims of Biden having already sewn this up are all a smokescreen, but the comments from the latter especially show a huge amount of positivity and optimism that this is going to eventually go their way. I’m inclined to agree, given the sheer amount of evidence now available that the Democrats fabricated this.
Also check out Newsmax at some point if you want a true conservative-leaning but factual and accurate media outlet. They’re actually reporting on the fraud and along with OAN are rising massively due to the exodus of Fox viewers.

One apposite comment from The despised Thatcher:
“The state has no source of money, other than the money people earn themselves. If the state wishes to spend more it can only do so by borrowing your savings, or by taxing you more. And it’s no good thinking that someone else will pay. That someone else is you.”
