      Our, “Worlds Most Trusted” all over it. Our inveterate liars. So I just had to find the actual words spoken.
      Here’s the critical part brought to us by the Telegraph who comments, ‘..he let slip…’. That, whilst reading from a pre-prepared speech? I don’t think so Telegraph.

    Jon been busy tweeting his impartial BBC views …so hard to guess which way he leans politically !!!! NOT !!!

    Every man and his dog knows this was corrupt. Trump never stood a chance .

    Organised fraud, complicit media and a judiciary that turns a blind eye.

    2am and he is winning hands down, 4am and it’s all turned round out of nowhere. Yep. Nothing to see here .

      Doobster agreed ????
      I was up watching it that night! At 2am Trump easily led, but around 10:30 morning our time it flipped to Biden, even though he hadn’t made any significant improvements. I said this on the 4th November, early morning ????
      Have you you contacted DeepThroat ????

        Have you never sat up for a British general election count? At 2am Labour is invariably well ahead in seats won because the smaller and more densely-populated constituencies that lean Labour tend to count faster and declare more quickly, even in those years where a big Conservative win is projected from exit polls and swings.

        In the US they count by county. Some counties, especially in sparsely-populated state, have only a few hundred electors. Those counties and their states are mostly farmers who vote strongly Republican (it’s not The Archers by the way, with small family farmers, they are in the pockets of huge agribusinesses like Cargill and AMD which are generous Republican donors). Did you know, by the way, that 12 of the 50 states are more sparsely-populated than the Isle of Lewis? Naturally the really big city-based and Democratic leaning counties take longer to count and declare later. It’s quite simple really, without needing a conspiracy theory to explain it. It happens every US presidential election, whoever prevails.

      Where do you start with this lot?

      Let’s start with Paul Danahar. I don’t know (or care) who he is or from whom he gets his ‘wisdom’, but an election cannot be rigged without it involving fraud. Indeed, a rigged election is apt to involve fraud on more than one level.

      Sopel clearly doesn’t know that either. Which doesn’t surprise me.

      As for the election, there’s no doubt (reasonable or otherwise) that it was rigged.

      Those who are support it are merely useful idiots, to be used and cast aside when they no longer serve the puppetmasters’ purposes. But by the time they realise that, it’ll be too late for them.

        Interesting point from The Duran: While Biden et al. is spreading his glad tidings around the World and discussing future policy with World leaders, he is violating the Logan Act which he applied in the General Flynn situation for, ‘talking to the Russians’ when DJT was only ‘President Elect’.

    Past news Oct 3rd about Colston Statue vandals
    Were they jailed for 7 days like the guy who accidentally peed NEAR a memorial ?

    Six men have admitted their involvement in the toppling of the statue
    *accepted a ‘conditional caution’.*
    – receive a criminal record, but avoid prosecution in the courts
    – complete a questionnaire from the We Are Bristol History Commission in which they can set out their reasons for their actions
    – fine of £100 which will be collected by HMCTS and sent to Nilaari, a Bristol based, black & minority ethnic led charity,
    – take part in two hours of environmental improvement works eg painting or the removal of rubbish/graffiti.

    Police ended their formal investigation they had identified nine of the 18 people they initially identified as being criminally responsible for the toppling of the statue.
    https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/six-men-fined-criminal-damage-4567295

    Earlier report said 5 were to be given the caution
    “But three other men and one woman may still face charges for their role in toppling Colston’s statue.
    The damage cost £3,750”
    So I guess 1 of that group is in the 6
    And 3 have been let off or undecided. Maybe they are youths ?

    Keeping an eye on The Center For Countering Digital Hate
    AFAIK this is an offshoot of Labour front group HnH
    whose custom is to weaponise antiracism by selectively pursuing people standing in the way of Labour eg standing for office against a Labour politician etc.
    What they do is smear-label them “racist” as thus clear the way for Labour and their agendas.
    CCDH seem to be a trading name of Imran Ah medd, who is operating out of the US, maybe to avoid UK libel laws.

    Now today he was on TalkRadio saying anti-Vaxxers need to be banned and looks to be behind a October 3rd Times Article about David Icke and sons,
    This to me is weird, cos what’s all that got to do with “hate” ?

    Hate would be campaigning against some group so strongly that it is actually “inciting violence against them”

    I’m not with Icke and his anti-mask and anti-vax movement but surely it’s no different from other dogma based belief systems say Marxism, XR or religions etc.
    Surely it’s all free speech.
    I don’t see why they should be denied socialmedia access
    and anyway it’s counterproductive, it’s better they are out in the open rather than using secret networks ?

    Now a handful of his followers have got excited about 5G , and have burnt down 5G masts
    OK that is wrong.. but that’s not mentioned in the article.

    I wonder if he is trying to get in with orgs and funding from groups opposing the anti-vaxxers.

    MI5 confronts terror threat from left-wing extremists
    a Times headline 3 Oct 2020

    When I check I find the guy Dominic Noble, 32, from Huddersfield, was awaiting trial after being charged with 14 offences
    but then suicided in prison, August 15
    https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/sister-terror-suspect-dominic-noble-18813872
    He was awaiting trial after being charged with 14 offences

    MI5 officers will investigate for the *first time* left-wing anarchists who are feared to be planning terrorist attacks.
    (that sounds like BS, at the time of the German and Italian Red Brigades there were probably some groups starting up in the UK)

    This year a man in his 30s from West Yorkshire was charged with 14 offences in connection with alleged left-wing terrorism.
    About two thirds of MI5’s caseload is devoted to investigating Islamist terrorist plots, the far right and other domestic extremism cases.
    The vast majority of them are related to the Islamist threat, although MI5 and police have expressed concern about the rise of the far right in recent years.
    (That’s PC way of writing, anyone logical would start by saying , Most terrorism is Islam connected, then Northern Ireland , then other nutters)

    Another 20 per cent is dedicated to northern Ireland and the remainder to hostile states such as Russia. A security source said that there were challenges in combating the far right that were distinct from Islamist terrorists.

    – Actual violent ideologies and orgs
    and lone nutters who are their sitting their waiting to get wound up about an issue and express violence
    Say if someone got really wound up the way the newspapers had treated a Brexit/Remain politician and so bombed the newspaper

    On Oct 3 the Times ran a 2 page article
    Trump v Biden is likely to be settled in court or on the streets
    .. It showed that Dems had been wargaming today’s scenarios
    and reveals they had already written the scripts that today’s news stories are based on.

    The weird thing is the article’s main scenario is the opposite of what has actually happened.
    It seems to be about how Trump could just win by cheating
    so Biden would patiently go to the courts for justice.
    Meanwhile Trump supporters might get violent.

    They “wargamed” how different election results might play out. “
    – A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power,”
    Dr Brooks said “Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis.”

    Amazingly back then they were using the same script as today
    “But Mr Trump’s claims that postal voting will lead to a “rigged election” are *not backed up by evidence*

    You get that today’s media reporting seems to be using that scripted phrase

    In some states the counting process could take a week, especially where rules allow postal votes which arrive after November 3 to be counted.
    In that scenario, with a voting public accustomed to knowing the winner by the time they go to bed,
    Democrats fear Mr Trump could strike, claiming victory and stoking questions about the integrity of the postal votes yet to be counted.
    His supporters would need little persuading by that point of the inherent whiffiness of the system.

    Mail-in ballots are easier to challenge,” a Democratic Party activist said

    How could Mr Trump challenge the legitimacy of the result? The obvious and traditional route would be through the courts …
    Mr Trump would find himself before a court with a conservative majority.

    Mr Trump found himself challenged at Tuesday’s debate to condemn white supremacists is because the sprouting of militias and far-right groups has been one of the big themes of his presidency.
    blah blah the Proud Boys, the *neo-fascist* all-male collective etc.
    .. felt compelled to rush to Washington to help Mr Trump stay in office after a contested election that would be no small thing

    * (doh we know the leader is not white ..and the Times printed version actually says “far right” instead)

    And here the article goes weird
    In the wargame Mr Biden, did not admit defeat, contending that the Democratic Party would not allow him to do so.
    Instead, he claimed that voter suppression (such as invalidated postal votes) had prevented his victory.

    It talks about Biden’s team trying to rig the electoral college
    Then states seceding if Mr Trump was sworn in

    — Then in January the public turned to the army to see who it recognised as commander in chief.

      (2) Trump could win by cheating, means Biden did win by cheating.

    Altogether now………..

    Good King Wenceslas looked out
    On the Feast of Stephen
    A neighbour shopped him to the police
    Now he plans to get even.
    The party wasn’t all that large
    Twenty at the most
    But he still had to pay the fine
    So now that neighbour’s to-a-st.

    “Leave it dear” , the Queen had said
    “Its hardly worth the trouble
    “Put down your binoculars
    And join the family bubble”
    “Stuff and nonsense” said the King
    “He took me for a fool
    Look! there he is – I’ve got him now
    He’s stealing all our fu-uu-el.

    Good King Wenceslas looked out
    As the police descended
    He saw his neighbour, wood in hand
    Quickly apprehended
    The moral of this story is
    Be kind to those next door
    Especially when they are the King
    And in charge of the la-aa-w.

    I have just bought a nice book as a Xmas present.

    The Myth of American Democracy: The Deification of Democratic Governance: by Trenton Fervor. (Published in 2013)

    Inside the book it says: There are thousands of dead voters listed on the voter rolls in most states, and some voting districts have more people registered to vote than actually live there.

    So I think the dead must have voted in favour of the candidate who looks dead. But only if the living voted in a way that made them think that Trump was winning.

    US news channels censored a press conference by the President of the United States, tech giants feel the need to censor Trump’s tweets, in key Dem States GOP observers were not allowed to actually observe anything and the Dems counter-sue just to try to prevent GOP observers from observing the ballot count. The MSM said there was no evidence after one minute, instead of, after one month of investigative journalism, why the haste. As with Climate science, do we really think that main stream journalists will investigate the fraud?

    Why all this Orwellian propaganda about no evidence, before the courts could get any evidence? And if the US Supreme Court caves into this Deep State corruption, and bans any investigation. Will it ignite a Civil War?

    As Orwell says “when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys” “He wears a mask and his face grows to fit it”

    The ‘resignation’ of Cummins represents another serious watering down of the Tory agenda that they were elected on. I only wanted Boris to do three things when I voted for him, keep Corbynistas out, deliver a Brexit worthy of the name and force the BBC to become subscription only. He managed the first of course but the other two are seemingly increasingly unlikely as he tacks increasingly leftward.
    For decades I voted Tory , principally to stop labour , in GE and UKIP in other elections.But as the last two Tory PMs and now Boris , not to mention the increasingly insane Major, are all at best a very pale blue if not pink, and as Starmer pretends he isn’t a Marxist nutcase, there doesn’t seem any point voting to keep labour out. So I’ll vote for the farthest right party or independent available on the slip just to register my tiny protest at the ‘liberal consensus ‘ which rules our country ever since Lady T, and look where the last thirty years has got us!

    Though a regular visitor , I dont post much here now as I have completely bleached the BBC out of my life.
    I was listening to the Hartley Brewer show on Talk radio yesterday and the alarm bells were certainly ringing when we had a procession of smooth talking, entitled, tory establishment patrician voices (the same ones that had been screwing us over for years) that it was a wonderful thing that Cummings was going.

    But alarm bells were ringing yesterday with the news that it was Prime Minister Carrie Symonds who made the decision with her “squad” and ordered her half man, half jellyfish, half roving penis, trans gimp wife – Boris to ditch Cummings – just in time for Brexit.

    Whilst I hold no candle for this Cummings, and have never especially trusted him – especially on this Covid madness, like Trump he is not of the establishment and was probably the only thing in this craven government that kept Johnson on track when dealing with Brexit, the establishment and especially the BBC.

    Prime Minister Symonds being an ex “Communications” Director is as woke as they come and is an establishment creature. I think we can now expect business as usual.
    As well as all of Carries greenwash and “building back better” – we can now look forward to a weaker line on brexit and especially on dealing with the establishment swamp and most notably the BBC.

    To be honest I am not surprised but saddened (having never voted for that vile, liberal liar Johnson). We were slowly winning the war and spreading the message about our ghastly BBC led MSM but I think this coup by the left (and make no mistake that is what Symonds is)is more serious than it seems.

    And we could have another five years of this totalitarian leaning government. With no serious political alternative allowed by our corrupt establishment who smile nicely and at the same time try to ruin or imprison anyone who tells the truth about what is actually going on out there and represents any sort of political threat.
    Who would ever have thought that we would have allowed ourselves to be ridden into dictatorship and the final act completed by a woman who appears to be a cross between Messalina, Rasputin and Caroline Lucas.

    We have a lot to look forward to.

      Agree, this doesn’t look good. Apparently, according to The Times, there will also be a shift “to end the culture wars”. I assume, as you can’t end a war by joining any one side, that what this really means is that government is going to get more Woke to be inline with lefties and MSM. There was me thinking that an 80+ majority was a mandate to be openly against this illiberal, divisive, counter-productive, nonsense.

      And why isn’t anyone in MSM mentioning that Carrie Symonds is unelected and should hold zero sway on government strategy and direction. As far as I’m aware she no longer formally holds a government position does she? Baffling.

      Fe2 The trouble was too many lazy , chinless, uninspiring posh boys and girls for years made easy money out of the EU by getting their cleverer friends to push buttons for them, utterly oblivious or uncaring to the industries that were wiped out, and the human cost in spiralling migration and falling wages, and changed communities. And we threatened to put a stop to it.

      Carrie belongs to that BBC/establishment political class all making the right noises but at the end of the day only really caring about their own bank balances and their own feelings.

      I wonder whether holding up brexit was a deliberate strategy. No deal with Trump because of time and the crowning by the MSM of Biden would mean no deal again – slick work.

      Slip a few globalists into the equation, interfering with our media and political processes and you can see very clearly where we are being taken.

      Any way off now do break the lockdown – I shall see if I get fined?

      Hope you get back ok and without too much expense.
      Spent best part of 5 hours today on A30/A35 visiting relatives in Dorset fortunately plods too busy with downed trees and flooded roads. Probably just as well, if I had had been stopped by the stasi I would probably have said too much and got myself into trouble.

    OK, this may be of interest:

    https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/january-is-commons-crunch-time-for-the-biased-bbc/

    Three Private Member’s bills on the BBC that were supposed to have their second reading this month will now be up for debate in January 2021 instead. If the blatantly biased Corporation had abided by its Royal Charter, there would have been no need for these bills in the first place.

    Paul Horgan, the writer of the article, may call it “crunch time” for the BBC, but I share the general pessimism and doubt of the posters on the thread that anything significant will result.

    Perhaps those of the optimistic “the glass is half-full” view may like to try and balance things out!

    “Hold a referendum to scrap the UK’s policy of Net Zero CO2 by 2050”:
    https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300316

    This petition has now closed.

    MPs from six select committees of the House of Commons joined together to set up a citizens’ assembly on climate change to look at how the UK should reach its commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
     
    The Climate Assembly UK brought together 108 people from across the UK. Together they were representative of the wider UK population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, educational level, where in the UK they live, whether they live in an urban or rural area, and how concerned they are about climate change.
     
    They worked together to create recommendations to Government.

    https://www.ukparliamentweek.org/en/blog/tell-the-climate-assembly-what-your-group-thinks-about-their-recommendations/

    The CLIMATE ASSEMBLY report says:

    1) we should encourage people to reduce the amount of meat and dairy products that we eat, because these types of food create a lot of greenhouse gas emissions.

    2) we need to buy less stuff. Part of the answer to this could be repairing things (i.e. fixing things when they break), sharing things (i.e. renting or sharing items we don’t use very often) and reusing things (e.g. second-hand goods) more.

    3) there should be more engagement of people in their local areas to inform how those areas tackle climate change.

    There is a short survey to tell them what you think by 20th November!! https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/A464RU/
    (I half agree with the 2nd point – but not for the reasons they want).

            Without knowing the whole background, the only inference I can draw is that both she and the BBC knew about the forged documents back in ’96. If so, why wasn’t action taken against Bashir back then?

            Then again, is the letter genuine? I note that the BBC has been coy about the circumstances in which it came back into their possession.

          I seem to remember after the phone hacking scandal the News of the World failed some test of being a ‘fit and proper organisation ‘ to hold a license to publish. Or at least something like that. So after this Bashir scandal , which the BBC have held two separate internal inquiries into with no result, surely the test ought to be applied to them. We do know that Lord Hall , when he was head of News at the corporation in the late nineties , said that it was in effect no big deal. No big deal ! A BBC journalist knowingly using forged documents , which he had commissioned , to mislead a vulnerable , just divorced woman, into giving an interview which damaged the royal family beyond measure!!
          This is at least as bad as phone hacking and the management certainly knew about the questionable methods used soon after the interview if not before. Is the tip of another huge very sordid iceberg. Only one way to find out subject the entire BBC to a full transparent enquiry .
          Fit and a Proper – certainly not. Yet another reason why the BBC must be defunded.

    Spare a thought for a former US President this morning – seems his book has been remaindered: ‘Half price Barack Obama book offer’ (Guardian)

    How the mighty are fallen. But lets not go full Ozymandias. You know, some of our fallen idols weren’t really that great afterall.

    Mind you, it’s hard to argue that Dominic Cummings wasn’t a clever bloke. The Telegraph informs us: ‘Cummings exits No 10 with parting shot at PM. Chief aide accuses Johnson of “dithering” as he is ordered out of Downing Street’ – I think we can agree that whatever else he got wrong the egghead is certainly right about that. Boris wobbles like jelly on a plate.

    What will the press do now that they have their scalp? – not that Boris’s baldy Brexit backroom boy had much in the way of a scalp.

    We’ve previously pointed out how the Brexit-butt-hurt Times newspaper simply can’t help but lament the rule of Brussels: ‘Cummings forced out in purge of Brexiteers’

    Can’t help but feel there is some badly misplaced glorication of the Yorkshire Ripper going on in our press: ‘The Ripper files 12-page pullout’ (Mail) meanwhile the Mirror indulges in a front page victims splash justified with a nod to the ‘grieving families’ – It’s left to the often crass tabloid Daily Star to hit the right note on their front page: ‘Good riddence as Ripper dies. Oh dear never mind’

    Did I hear BBC news tell me Yorkshire Police had apologised, not for their tardiness and missteps in catching the bugger, but for their 1970s un-PC terminology in reference to the victims? Seems about right these days. The Guardian, which tends to run stories in tandem with the Beeb, headlines the sorry note although does not specify details on their front page: ‘Peter Sutcliffe Police offer apology to victims’ families’

    My i-phone news app channels the former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, famous for his known unknowns quote, purporting to tell me: ‘What we still don’t know about vaccine’ – I take it this is about the Chinese Flu vaccine in particular, rather than vaccines in general.

    I’m heartily sick of this media tendency to act as oracle. Fact check this… what we know about that… etc… etc… – it’s an entitled rather pretentious habit the BBC display in spades.

    In days of yore our mother’s may have warned us not to cry over split milk and the Guardian cautions: ‘Scientists’ warning don’t return to tiers. England faces Covid-19 resurgence if it returns to its previous regional lockdown rules next month’

    In other words, no 2nd December easing of restrictions, the lockdown should be sustained for the foreseeable.

    I don’t know if Boris blundered into this blind ally or whether it was planned? Either way, seems we’re lumbered with this bluffer and his lockdown for the time being. One thing is for sure, if he goes now then Brexit is lost. If he stays it’s a maybe…

    It will be interesting to see how the lying beeb covers the pro-Trump rallies planned for today in Washington and elsewhere.

    Putting on my Nostradamus hat, I predict it will ignore them if possible; or minimise the numbers if forced to acknowledge them.

    On the other hand it might go the other way, and paint a terrifying picture of rampaging mobs of fascists who won’t accept the election result and thereby threaten the very existence of democracy.

    (The Washington Post are already warning of possible trouble between “far-right protestors” and “counterdemonstrators”. Note the weasel use of language – the BBC could learn a trick from them.)

    If any trouble does flare up, the biased beeb will focus on that, and put the blame on Trump supporters of course, despite the fact that so far Trump’s huge mega-rallies have been good-natured party-like gatherings, and all the violence has come from the other side, be it Antifa, BLM or anti-Trump demonstrators. (I won’t call them pro-Biden, as there hasn’t been a pro-Biden movement, it’s been all about Trump-hating, hence the violence.)

    That said, the rallies may not be as good-natured as in the past, as there is anger building up at the widespread election fraud, and beyond that at the past four years of savage media bias and non-stop conspiracies and attacks against Trump and his supporters. The people are waking up en-masse to the ferocious and increasingly obvious ‘gaslighting’ taking place, and the mood could turn ugly.

    The beeb may yet get the headlines they’re hoping for.

      Aren’t you jumping the gun a little here? I assume the other female nurse you are referring to is the 1991 case of Beverley Allitt in Grantham. She was tried and convicted of 4 counts of murder, 5 of attempted murder and 6 counts of GBH.

      There’s a slight difference here isn’t there. The “female nurse baby killer” in Chester has been arrested and is presumably being questioned by police. There has been no charge so far; if, and it’s a big if, charges are brought there will be a trial in which the prosecution will be required to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt that she was guilty of one or more of the charges brought against her. *If*, and again it’s a big if, the prosecution succeeds *then* there will be a time for a reckoning. But not before. In this country we have a long and honourable tradition of fair trials. I thought you’d agree with that.

Next week is Anti Bullying week so please no nasty comments here as I will be very upset and may not be able to work, walk upright or function normally for some considerable time. Monday is International day of tolerance, so again please be nice and Friday is Transgender Day of Rememberance.
    Mrs CS has noted that Tuesday is ‘Moving men from passive to passion day’ and has instructed me to buy flowers which seems to fit quite well. The following week has a few spare days so I’m sure sensible suggestions will be welcomed, but on that Monday it’s ‘Understanding White privilege day’.

    I opened up a TV app on my phone (I don’t know why I bother cos I don’t watch any live tele) today to find at 12:30 today on al beeb 1 – MOTDx – Jermaine Jenas is joined by ‘England legend Eni Aluko’ ????????
    LEGEND ????
    Gimme a break, Peter Shilton, Bobby Moore, Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney are England legends, not this race-baiting whingebag ⚽
    Clearly written by al beeb for the app in question and now the word ‘legend’ has been redefined to mean someone 99.9% of the UK population has never heard of ????

      I started by typing never heard of him but then I thought no this is the BBC we’re talking about so I googled the name. I’ve never heard of her either. Since all these idiots started and continue to take knees I’ve had loads more free time, rugby, football and F1 no longer watch cycling is ok I can’t imagine the peloton stopping to kneel. The trouble is need more box sets for the winter ahead and we’re not allowed to buy them in France at the moment. I didn’t hiccup Fed but I’ve gone double.

      Aluko publicly criticised her former team-mates, accusing them of selfishness, lacking respect and requiring diversity training. I must admit that I didnt realise that’s what wins games- Diversity training. I’ll remember that when I watch MOTD tonight. Oh no cancel that if Lineker is presenting.
      Possibly this is what is meant by legend:-
      Legend- an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.
      Notorious- famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed.

    Not the BBC but no doubt the BBC will be delighted. There is an interesting little bit tucked away on the Times front page that suggests the events that led to the Cain & Cummings departures might be down to a power grab by Whitehall.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-54939907

    “Lord Sedwill (the former Cabinet Secretary*) used to go into meetings and ask why no Ministers were there. The whole way decisions are made in Downing Street is going to change.”

    I have posted before that the UK is suffering an informal and undeclared Civil War and it looks to me that the Cabinet Office and the PM have taken a direct hit from some Whitehall artillery. This doesn’t look good for the UK.

    (* I have added capital letters in the places that The Thunderer should have had them and would have done in the past!)

    Google bubble to reality translate:

    A big incestuous shout out to all guest booking producers on news shows doing the pointless task of trying to get ministers on to shout at them and coordinate gotchas & boring grandstanding, frustrating millions of people seeking sensible information on what’s happening in a time of national crisis; thank you for your tireless efforts… and maybe send some Ch4’s way as we are desperate. They will bear fruit as we’ll back you up at the awards. And also have graphic designers if you need one out house, bbc, again, for deniability ????

    Two worthy comments over at ITTBOT I hope poster and site won’t mind sharing, again showing the dodgy editorial integrity the BBC is wheeling out not hourly, as if immune.

    I nearly posted last week about the restraint shown by newsreaders about Bidens victory and Trumps demise. With the exception of Sopel and Bryant they were all very low key and I suspect an instruction had been circulated to all news staff telling them to avoid triumphalism.

    We can be sure no such instruction has been circulated about Cummings because triumphalism and jubilation is order of the day across all BBC news. As Brexit enemy no1, he is probably hated in Broadcasting House more that any other UK political figure.

    Tonight Vicki Young spoke to camera with a smile throughout and ended her report with ‘just rejoice that they have gone’. She used the degree of separation tactic with an anonymous quote but we got the message loud and clear.

    I find it incredible that the BBCs defence for their Diana Panorama story is that they have found a hand written note saying Diana was ok with the way they obtained the interview.

    The allegations are that they lied, forged bank statements, made accusations and exploited her fragile state of mind to arrange the interview.

    But because she wrote that she was ok with that or didn’t see the forgeries, it somehow exonerated them.

    No it does not. Saying that the victim accepted or approved of the crime is not a line of defence in any circumstance and using it exposes the rotten core that is still at the centre of the BBC.

    Good luck with that one in the courts.

    I find #bbcquotes as separation egregious integrity at best.

    One day their tongue will be in cheek when their forehead hits the desk.

    Anita trails the Any Answers phone in
    The take away line was first a lot of negative things about Trump
    and then “At what point do you call this an attempted coup ?”

    FFS that is very bubbleworld thing to say

      Posing it as a question does not absolve her of what is being attempted.

    I buy the telegraph for £4 a month online . I won’t be renewing it after the 12 month run out .I ve just looked at the headlines today over Mr Cummings ….
    ……this stuff might be of interest to the swampy bubble and those dreaming of rejoining the EU – but to non Westminster creatures – who cares?

    Right wingers know what the red tories are – lefties packaged in blue – see the minister of strong statements for example …

    Good morning.
    Very late to the party on this one but must mention.

    A couple of days ago the BBC naturally featured the latest report of how BAME people were more affected by coronavirus and of course the insinuation that it was all down to us evil racist whities and nothing to do with things like ignoring the advice and getting together in large family groups.

    At the very same time there was another BBC report on, of all things, the growth in murders by youths. They showed pictures of 100 murderers.
    Here’s the thing. I counted 38 enriching non-white perpetrators. White British murderers seem to be ‘significantly under-represented’. Yet this glaring elephant in the room did not get a single mention from our Far Left multiculti BBC fanatics.

    Further proof of the BBC racist policy of hiding and downplaying as much bad news about BAME as possible.

      Always thought that white people are hugely under represented in the murderer stakes. I’m going to start a campaign to address this glaring anomaly – #whitemurderersagainstdiscrimination. And, as actions speak louder than words, I’ll lead by example. Now, where’s the nearest ultra-woke lefty I can find… damn, it’s my 19 year old daughter!
