BBC1 6 pm news.
At the end of another George Floyd report the BBC informs us that in Ohio there has been another police killing of a black person. A female.
The fact that she was actually stabbing someone at the time seems to be treated as an irrelevant afterthought by the BBC BLM-supporting newsroom.
I switched on, saw the celebrations following a conviction for a man who was trying to deal with a drugged crazed felon and the President of the United States jubilant at the result. Second item was Tory Sleaze (as defined by Sir Keir) regarding the Conservatives trying to prioritise saving the dying rather that receiving tax. I only managed those headlines and may even have equalled the 4 seconds someone quoted earlier before switching off.
And I had had to watch a Greta trailer to even get to that.
Today Tommy Robinson (whose real name is….) began his defence at a libel trial in London.
Mr Robinson is having to defend himself against the allegations made by a Syrian refugee school boy, who is being represented by a QC
This yet another example of lawfare. It should be obvious even to the hard of thinking that a Syrian school kid could not afford to employ the services of a top barrister, and legal aid is not available in civil cases like this, so who are his litigation friends and are their names available to the public, because they certainly should be.
We need to know if our old friends the cowardly useless incompetent far left Tories are behind this monstrous court case which is an attack on freedom. Even if indirtectly funding via charitable fronts for the socialist workers party.
The same is happening to Lawrence Fox who was rather silly in calling a drag queen a paedophile after he was called a ‘racist’. The word ‘racist’ now is as common a swear word as calling someone a ba***rd as it’s as common to do so and carries just about as much truth and meaning.
The litigation friend in the Robinson case would appear to be one Abdulnaser Yousef and there could be many of that name, however the one which stands out as most likely is a Kuwati lawyer and again we come back to the oil rich Middle Eastern Arabs meddling in our countries affairs if this is indeed the case.
Quick comment for the admins about the domain change. Congrats guys for getting the site back up in the difficult circumstances. Some of this will probably have occurred to you, but will you be switching the site back to the old domain if you can?
The reason I ask is that despite any Google algorithms loaded against the site (they probably will be) it has built up traction in terms of ‘domain authority’ and did tend to score quite well in the search results for a simple search like ‘Biased BBC’. This is how I discovered the site several years ago.
It’s great to see the site back up but a lot of regular visitors will probably still be searching for it – at least those who did not get the email. Likewise, others like me may have to scrabble through browser settings to recover their password – or might have to create a new account.
A move back to the old domain would not feel good to those who are now getting used to the new one, but it would be a way to restore the domain authority – it could take years to do that with the new one. The alternative would be to try to do some SEO – search engine optimisation – of the new domain. If that’s the preferred route then I would be happy to help if you are short of manpower for that.
Kafir
I’m low in the chain so as informed as anyone else here – but I think rufus mentioned that the owners of the original ‘org’ address wanted a shed load of cash to get it …. hence Tuvalu TV taking over …
……….. I’ve got access to individual user email addresses and am going to hold a few to communicate directly when the next failure occurs .
It would be nice to have a contingency but there isn’t one – as far as I know … any ideas welcome
Fed.
I found out the new address from the website ‘is the bbc biased’ because somebody put the link up there.
Perhaps we could look there should any other outage happen.
They could also use us if they lose access.
Another possibility is to have a group on Facebook.
Call it something innocent like bias backup group or whatever and if we all join we could get messages by looking on the group page.
You join by invite and it could be a backup contact for us.
I don’t know how to do it but I believe it’s quite simple to create a ‘group’ and we have many on here who know this stuff (like Stew for instance) and could advise if it is a goer.
1I understand the ‘is the bbc biased ‘ has stopped operating .
2 good idea on the Facebook – but personally I am not a user of Facebook and would prefer not to be
3 I wonder if linked in is any good ? I’m not on that either – and never will be – but it might be an alt linkage in the case of TV disappearing under fictitious global melting .
4. Stew or Up2 will know ……
5 still good to throw ideas around – and if the TV site went – would we be on an “RU” one ?!
Just looked and,as you mentioned, something is up with the istbbcb site but there are still comments on there.
A mod called Craig mentioned we are back up and posted our address.
EG
I will check with Craig . I’ve always thought that it would be best for users of this site to ‘migrate’ as they say – to the ‘is the BBC biased ‘site for anyone not there already in the event of this site disappearing .
My concern – here – is that I don’t know who is ultimate control of this site or who finances it . I believe in clarity .
The re-direct is great. It wasn’t there previously but it is now.
I think we all share a degree of cynicism about how this site might be seen and received in the Woke-World out there – but I think it remains important to be findable and part of it!
I posted yesterday that I had been watching racist snooker on the bBC, I was watching again today and I realised that snooker fills the bBC political stance. 1 blue Tory ball, 1 yellow Liberal ball, 15 Socialist balls and a fellow traveller, the pink ball.
I see the OED for 2022 will include the following new words
Chauvin (n) A sacrificial lamb, a tethered goat.
Chauvin (v) Chauvined, hung out to dry, dismissed by the establishment as a sop to a racist political front (BLM)
Northern Voter
I used to watch snooker on tele years ago when it was known as “Pot Black” and the program signature tune was “The Black and White Rag” banged out on the piano by the great Winifred Atwell.
In those days the tele was in black and white and unless you were a competent snooker player you had to rely on the eyesight and honesty of the commentator as to which ball went where.
Since then Snooker coverage may have improved but commentators have regressed.
I remember whispering Ted Lowe say, on Pot Black, “for those viewers watching in black and white, the green ball is next to the brown” Great days. By the way Alex Scott is being unveiled as the presenter of Football Focus. Something else to miss!
It just flashed up on the BBC commercial channel Yesterday-TV
Einstein advertising smart meters
making out they magically make the grid greener .. a lie
… Don’t laugh you financed that advert.
The big plan for smart meters will make the grid greener but the plan has been dumbed down so much that it is no longer even marketed as it may confuse the public.
The plan is once everyone has a smart meter then tariffs can be changed hour by hour to encourage people to use electrity during offpeak times to help balance the load so power stations can run at their most efficient output levels. A bit like Uber taxis where they are cheaper if the current demand is low.
@Tabs I disagree *Domestic* smart meters do very little for the grid
The PR trickster people always like to give the performance for solar/wind farms in terms of “homes”
So for a region of 100,000 people they might say the wind farm supplies 20,000 homes.
However AFAIK the truth is most electricity use is not in the home but rather in government/commercial or industrial settings
so the windfarm won’t be supplying anything like the 20% it first seems.
Now in those government/commercial or industrial settings there maybe some scope for moving some working hours on some high use operations say from evening to after midnight.
But at home, electricity use is not so flexible ie you use leccy when you are home in the evening, not in the daytime when you are at work.
They could get everyone to put their washing machine on before they go to bed,
instead of when they get up.
However I can’t see that helping the grid that much overall.

BTW I thought I already replied last night, but maybe I forgot to press send or something
I will be voting for Reform UK Wales or UKIP because of the continuous invasion on our shores by illegal immigrants coming here to steal housing and welfare, despite the tough words coming from Bluster Bo Jo and Pritstic Patel.
Its almost as if we are paying France to send them here ? What MPs or their cronies have shares in the hotels that are housing them ?
Anyone who votes now for the mainstream parties is a fool . They have all merged into one, they are merely actors pretending to be politicians. I am amazed that the people of England have put up with it for so long . The government take you for fools!
People of England, make your vote count this time and teach the Tories a lesson, before we hear ‘Lessons to be learned’ – yet again .

Viewers condemn sick Iraqi prank TV show where ISIS fighters ‘kidnap’ celebs
21 April 2021 Share
A prank TV show in Iraq where celebrities are duped into thinking they have been kidnapped by ISIS, strapped with suicide vests and told they are to be executed has been roundly condemned.
The show, Tanneb Rislan focuses on celebrities who believe they have signed up to undertake charitable work for displaced families, leading them to a remote village where they are then ambushed and surrounded by fake ISIS fighters in trucks equipped with fully automatic rifles, rocket launchers and suicide vests, before being blindfolded and interrogated.

Watch the video.
Please can we have a UK version. Come on friends, choose your BBC favourite celebs. I would pay to watch this.
Captain Mercer took the government shilling until the Northern Ireland exception was removed – now he is saying the government is a bunch of liars – but he played along with it and still would is the NI provision had been included .
And being so dumb as to think his resignation wouldn’t be leaked ? That’s really dumb . No honour in politics .
Working this evening with the wireless on and stopped to listen to an interview on R4 Extra, Percy Thrower. Recorded back in 1963. His life to date and his passion for gardens. No agenda, no BLM, no political bias or chicanery, just the one mention of football and not a money orientated super league in sight. Just a nice gentle 20minutes of how things in this once great country used to be. In the UK today, the past really is a foreign land.

There are a number of sites that hold the same opinion as “us”.
“Alex Belfield “, “Weatmonster” & Darren Grimes etc .
They have the same end in common and should link together in mutual support.
I recommend the YouTube channel ‘ history debunked’ . Try it If you’ve not done so. You will not be disappointed !
Of course YouTube keep suspending his account.
And ought we to feel the slightest qualm of conscience if we watch non-BBC programmes, even though we are unlicensed? (or undocumented?) That the BBC should charge us to watch them is a monstrous injustice.
Further back there was Philip Harbin in his butchers apron, the Groves & Appleyards, Michael Bentine & the Bumblies, Whirligig with Mexican Pete, Cafe Continental on a Saturday night, and the ‘fragrant’ Sylvia Peters and Mary Malcolm in beautiful dresses as tv ‘announcers’ – against the backdrop of a flower arrangement.

Snooker has always been racist.
That white minority ball pushing around all those ‘balls of colour’, and the darker they are the later they are to the front of the cue (sorry!).
Yes racist
… The black is valued the most , other coloured also have high value
but the white is worth nothing.
At the start of the game the poor white is smacked hard with a stick and that’s how it continues through the game
the poor white is hit with a stick at every point in the game.
And then finally it’s abandoned all on it own on the table

I would be very surprised if this dictator gets voted in again by the teffmen.
Dare I say it, “lessons to be learned “?
Nah the people of Wales are too stupid to vote for anyone else other than Labour! Even if the party had a policy of torturing the men to death and selling the wives and kids into sexual slavery they’d still vote for it.
Quite right, Taffman. The Welsh did themselves proud over Brexit and also stayed loyal to Ukip long after many areas in England had abandoned them. It is just a pity that the party’s Assembly Members were not up to the job.
On an unrelated topic I’m sorry to read of the passing of the great John Dawes. A truly great player and British Lions captain.
The Assembly big hitters were Reckless , Gill and Hamilton, but they jumped ship leaving Hamilton to hold the fort for UKIP.
Dawes was a great player and ambassador for GB. RIP.
FFS why are we here down the rabbit hole of discussing George Floyd and a football proposal
when there’s news like this ?
#1 Manchester Police are still refusing to give any description of the gang rapists in that park in Wythenshaw
#2 Ellie-Ann Reynolds was acquitted on Tuesday
That’s the grooming complainant who Tommy was trying to help when he was harassed by police
and on another occasion detained by police for punching back at kid who spat in his face.
I tweeted about the situation in Barrow last year. Ellie-Ann Reynolds has now been acquitted of perverting the course of justice, having spent 10 months in jail under horrendous pandemic conditions after alleging persistent abuse by a grooming gang. https://t.co/YszNBflFJ6https://t.co/vhB25Liznf

People choose the rabbit hole . The foreign trial of a foreign ex police man has no relevance to down town UK – unless the BBC decides that it ‘ resonates ‘. Anyone getting into the detail of that foreign trial here – plays into their hands .
The term ‘rabbit hole’ is very popular with BBC specialists in misinformation, having recently graduated in French and Russian. And helped out over in the States.

Sky are missing something.
Having watched the video, I think it amounts to the criminal offence of ‘Battery’ under S.39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988: Any unlawful force on another. Any unlawful physical contact can mount to a battery, there is no need to prove harm or pain and a mere touch can be sufficient. Police should be informed and view the video which is sufficient evidence.
How wonderful the new Sky headlines: ‘Starmer Bodyguard arrested by Bath Police for Battery on Pub Landlord’

Why does Al Beeb hate Great Britain so much? It is almost as if it is run by ‘rich Communists ‘ who hold our government in fear ?
I do not hear any dissent coming from MPs of either of the main parties?

Is this the best that the opposition can throw at the government ?
I think the Labour Party have lost touch with the working class , they were not listening before and they are not listening now. Hence the rise of UKIP and The Brexit Party .

War graves inquiry finds ‘pervasive racism’
Story detail
“Entrenched prejudices, preconceptions and pervasive racism of contemporary imperial attitudes” were the reasons behind tens of thousands of predominantly black and Asian troops not being properly commemorated, a report has found. At least 116,000 mostly African and Middle Eastern casualties from World War One “were not commemorated by name or possibly not commemorated at all”, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission inquiry discovered. Some were remembered collectively in memorials – unlike their white counterparts who had a headstone with their name – and others who were missing were only recorded in registers rather than in stone.
The failure to give fair and proper recognition was “influenced by a scarcity of information, errors inherited from other organisations and the opinions of colonial administrators”. But underpinning all these decisions was “pervasive racism”, the commission, tasked with commemorating those who had died in the war, said. Six million soldiers from the British Empire served in World War One. Between 45,000 and 54,000 Asian and African personnel who died in the conflict were “commemorated unequally”. Apologising after finding service personnel weren’t formally remembered in the same way as their white counterparts, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission says “the events of a century ago were wrong then and are wrong now”. The commission will now be “acting immediately to correct” the wrongs of the past.

Then, of course, a ‘Labour calls for’:

Labour calls for PM-Dyson texts probe
Labour has called for a “thorough investigation” into Boris Johnson’s contacts with inventor Sir James Dyson. In texts revealed yesterday, the prime minister says he could “fix” tax issues relating to Dyson staff who came to the UK to make ventilators during the pandemic. While Mr Johnson “makes no apology” for trying to get ventilators for the NHS, Labour says this was part of a pattern of government “sleaze” and wants a cross-party investigation with senior MPs “as soon as possible”. The “revelations seem to confirm a growing feeling that if someone has access to a telephone number of someone like the prime minister or the chancellor, then they are able to gain special treatment”, shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves says.

US climate summit to push for ‘immediate’ action
An updated pledge to nearly halve carbon emissions by 2030 is expected to be unveiled by the US at a global virtual summit later. Hosted by President Joe Biden, the US will attempt to re-assert its global leadership on climate change. It follows on from his work in the early days of his administration to make climate change a key focus. China’s President Xi Jinping is one of the 40 leaders expected to attend the summit in the White House and he has shared views with the US despite serious tensions between the two countries. “It’s quite clear that there is a distinctly shared level of ambition. Both countries see this as a crisis. Both countries see the need for action in the 2020s,” said a senior Biden administration official ahead of the meeting.

And finally… a review of a movie no one is going to watch except Vince and David Lammy.
Why Two Distant Strangers is ‘important and necessary’
Travon Free was co-writing a romcom screenplay last year when George Floyd died. Free decided the romcom would have to wait – as an African American, he wanted to create a serious screenplay addressing the police killings of black people in the US. But the resulting short film, Two Distant Strangers, which is nominated at this week’s Oscars, still borrows a lot from one of the big comedy hits of the 1990s.
Following Mr Floyd’s death, Free said to Martin Desmond Roe, a white British writer and director, that he wanted to switch tracks. “There were all the George Floyd protests in America and marches around the world,” he says. “So at the beginning of our work day I just told Martin I had a new idea for a short film, and after that it just consumed our lives.”

Raciiiiiiiism…. important, necessary and a BBC obsession to stir beyond reason.
I’m trying to figure out which actors are going to play the ‘cop’ and dead criminal – I reckon ‘idris ‘( spell check says ‘Doris ) as the cop and Gary oldman / person as the criminal – after all white Anglos are the bad guys these days ….
.. or maybe Olive Coleman as the criminal and that woman from Fargo as the cop …
Did they miss the “r” of her surname? What the hell is a “Black Environment Network? What about all the whitey rebels in XR, won’t they be upset by this racist organisation?
One might run this claim past Marianna, whose French and Russian makes her a specialist.
“The US and China are already seeing devastating climate impacts with terrible wildfires, intensifying typhoons and heatwaves.” President Biden hosts global climate summit with high hopes for Chinese-American cooperation https://t.co/2a3fDp8HpY
Your, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” has mentioned the vast massing of warships from around the World in the South China Sea to directly confront China? No fear!
But, hey, this is domestically newsworthy from the same locale:
“Warships deployed in search for missing submarine….The Indonesian vessel, which has 53 people on board, disappeared off the coast of Bali on Wednesday.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-56829278
Anyway, lets look elsewhere –
Any mention of the estimated 120,000 Russian troops massing on the Ukraine border? No.
Any mention of the fact that the US Ambassador has been asked to leave Russia? No.
I have concluded that depriving the general public of the increasing confrontations between China, Russia and the accompanying bellicose language is all to do with the heightened pleasure the BBC will obtain when World War 3 starts and its “shock and awe” effect on the hitherto unknowing general public.
Yesterday in the Commons
Johnson: “Last night’s verdict in Minneapolis delivered justice for the family and friends of George Floyd, and I know that the thoughts of the whole House remain with them.”
Is that right Boris?
Starmer: “May I also join the Prime Minister in his comments about the verdict in the George Floyd case? There has been justice in that case.”
Some days you look at the media and say ‘great ‘.
HMG has put out some stuff about the 4 billion reduction in the overseas give away budget – 100 NGOs (aka self serving £charity£ industry ) and the crank red Tory MP – Andrew Mitchell – are ‘upset ‘.. therefore it must be a good thing .
Government – please the other £10 billion of taxpayers ‘cash being given away – after all – this was a £Cameron£ idea…
…also – it seems vaccine passports are on the way – which suits me ….
…. I’ve not seen or heard the BBC for a while – are they still going on about the foreign police killing ?
“it seems vaccine passports are on the way – which suits me ….”
I suppose one might say they are just like drivers’ licences (dare one liken them to TV Licences hereabouts?) – that’s supposing one accepted the notion that one needed and ought to jollywell have a licence just to walk the streets. And of course we’re looking at taking a re-test, in the form of yet another vaccine (or two) every 6 months or so this year, next year, ad infinitum.
Like the near evangelical fervour of the newly converted one notes the enthusiasm of the already vaccinated for all to join them in their vaccinated grace, or else be shunned, cast out into the wilderness of publessness and permanent confinement to these fair isles.
Or supposing, on the off chance, one has allowed oneself to be injected with the new normal DNA chip… (or somesuch) why wouldn’t one want us all to go down the same road? There’s a certain camaraderie in slavery.
I expect I’ll take my punishment eventually once I’ve been well and truly beaten into submission by restriction and red tape – but I’ll take it sullenly and with my fingers crossed.
Asiseeit
Good for you – I have overseas interests so if a vaccine passport gets me on a plane and overseas tell me where I sign for one – my next flight is booked for the end of May …
I understand your position.
If I dare stretch the analogy… many contributers and readers hereabouts will still have – for reasons of convenience – a TV Licence – but they don’t sing the praises of the BBC
I read about this four months ago in PC world that the DVLC had set up all the core system to handle nationwide logging to piggy back the DV license. It may appear to be a VISA but it has nothing much to do with holidays other than an ‘inducement’ that is hard to resist for most if us. This is likely to be permanent (not linked directly to NHS) linked ID card that Lord Sumption was worried about as the back door to a (future) totalitarian stage. Imagin what CORBYN or STARMER could do with this kind of power (or those in the BBC).
Worryring, as It does not suit me at all. Criminals will be able to buy fraud ID cards – on the black market. Illegals (as they arrive) will get a ‘clean’ ID (UK) to any outstanding court -cases are quietly ‘forgotten’. The Chinese use this system to non-platform – any – opposition leaders and monitor your travel or ban it. Hong Kong for example.
Once upon a time, there was a hallowed old journalistic phrase – silly season. Traditionally this referred to that period lasting for a few summer months typified by the emergence of frivolous news stories.
With the advent of 24-hour rolling broadcast news and of instant social media news alerts, periods of such clearly defined off-season slow news are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile official public information – as opposed to commercial advertising copy – used to be confined to obvious governmental messaging concentrating on subjects in the nature of: why it might be the case that young children ought to avoid strangers approaching them offering an unsolicited private sneek preview of their imagined litter of new puppies (actually these adverts never did expain why – but we got the message anyhow); or perhaps practical detailed advice as to when and how best to contact the coast guard.
One now notes the entrance onto the scene of propagandistic nudge politics, the ballooning of the scope of governmental initiatives and supposed societal responsibilities and the blurring of the line between news and views in our media. One needn’t be of the conspiratorial mindset that habitually cries fake news to notice there’s been some big changes to governmental media tactics and indeed the corporate use and abuse of news media.
Even when a real genuine bona fide news event occurs there are parties – political, commercial, governmental and quasi-governmental, ready and set for what Obama (the community organising President) would term a teaching and/or learning moment.
And with that preamble one notes a pop up news item this morning on my i-phone: ‘The climate crisis is worse than you can imagine – and its scary if you try. But there are ways to help. Here’s a guide‘
Consider various factors from my point of view:
a) my quibbles concerning the basic premise of the message, in that the climate is undergoing change sufficient to really represent a crisis
b) the disrespect shown as to my abilities of imagination
c) the over-estimation of my susceptibilty to fear
d) the jarring gear change implied in the sudden shift from guaranteed doom crisis to supposed solution apparently now within my purview
e) the general tone of command and expectation of my slavish compliance
f) the nagging doubt that such messaging is really aimed at my particular and currently unfashionable demographic
Generally pissed off at the constant receipt – indeed bombardment – of such tosh purporting to be news headlines from all sources, one is sorely tempted to foresake the highlighting of anti-conservatism in the media and to resolve that satire is pretty damned tricky when faced with a media landscape seemingly designed to satirise the public’s very intelligence.
How does one, for instantance, lampoon the Financial Times evident glee that a politician from the Green Party might soon be running Europe? : ‘Germany’s new era Green candidate for chancellor is a breath of fresh air‘ – and what’s the point in pointing out how crony capitalism has for reasons of profiteering adopted the pretence of political environmentalism, when it’s so damned obvious for anyone who cares to notice?
And so in frustration we alight on the frontpage of the Daily Star, a popular tabloid which this morning we award huge props for gifting us an object lesson in both silly season and news subsumed in views…
This is how it’s done: ‘Fearlessly covering the big debate of our age… Yes! No! Joy as UK is hit by Marmite shortage. Horror as UK hit by Marmite shortage’
Asiseeit
As for silly season – the telegraph runs a ‘report’ on how habits have changed during lockdowns – less washing – less cloths changing – less …
This is attached to a ‘report’ about how we should shower less to preserve skin natural oils …. the DT was brave to open comments ……
…. that kind of frothy story could keep phone ins going for days …
……….I’ve sometimes pondered what phone ins are for …but as I never listen to any I didn’t bother getting an answer
Stale bread sandwiches? You were lucky – we had to make do with breadless sandwiches (that’s just air with air in the middle). And then we had to get up before we went to bed and work in ‘t pit for 24 hours a day etc…
Seriously, when I was a child my Mum had a friend on a large council estate who we would visit. I was fascinated that they ate sugar sandwiches, white bread, marg and a sprinkle of white sugar. I didn’t realise that it was poverty driven. People did without phones, tv and washing machines, ie people did without.
I know all about that too Deborah. My Yorkshire gran would slap condensed milk on bread as well !! and before it appeared in cookery books, the other gran would put jam or sugar on Yorkshire puddings !!
Yeah, but are they ‘own brand’ fish fingers, or proper Birds Eye ones?
These delicacies have been around for years, like chip butties, which I started enjoying way back in the sixties!
Why some fooboller seems to think that normal citizens don’t know all this is beyond me…
Anyone here ever had ‘tea slops’? No, me neither, but there’s another one for his silly little book! And he can add ‘Bread and milk’, except vegans won’t go near it…
‘Pervasive racism’ blamed for failure to commemorate black and Asian troops. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56840131
More pointless and divisive self-loathing by the BBC. Another gem backed up by references to a Guardian article and tweets by David Lammy.
The report concluded that the failure to properly commemorate the individuals was “influenced by a scarcity of information, errors inherited from other organisations and the opinions of colonial administrators”.
Fair enough. But followed by:
“Underpinning all these decisions, however, were the entrenched prejudices, preconceptions and pervasive racism of contemporary imperial attitudes,” it added.
Mr Lammy said the report was a “watershed moment”.
“No apology can ever make up for the indignity suffered by The Unremembered,” he tweeted.
It’s beyond ridculous. I will not take any of this seriously until people like Lammy are recognised as the racists they are.
John
Maybe the Government will take note of their propaganda arm and strive to ensure that due commemoration for blacks and Asians takes place after the next World War about to kick off anytime now. That’s assuming there is anything left of a Government. Ditto blacks asians and good ol Whitee.
I worked in Montego Bay in Jamaica many years ago and
the local newspaper was the the Daily Gleaner. Of
course the news was foremost from a Jamaican standpoint.
The BBC is more and more reminding me of the Gleaner
in its contents and representation of its news coverage.
But of course not just from a Jamaican aspect.
Not the sharpest tool in the box, but perhaps he doesn’t realise that hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in unmarked graves, their colour irrelevant. Many gave their lives to create/maintain a society that now nurtures tens of millions from parts of the world that have no particular or natural connection to Europe.
Two separate snippets copied from news pages today that have an obvious link.

———————————
The implicit meaning of course is that it’s fine for black people to murder other black people because it’s not racist. Their lives have no value if they can’t be used for another agenda.
I’ve just been researching the ‘modern’ definition of ‘racism’ and sure enough, some are subtley changing to state it is only racism when a majority direct it at a minority.
More interesting is one from Wikipedia which specifically states racism is only against a specific race – eg Africans and must not be confused with ‘prejudism based on skin colour’ which is what it says : specific to skin colour and nothing to do with race.
So saying ‘Blacks’ is not racist whereas saying ‘African Blacks’ is.
But you can’t sneer as you say that so I doubt the Left will pay much attention. Their hypocrisy extends much further than that.
The Church and the Jewish faith is now apologising for its lack of diversity, and decreed that any vacancies in the Diocese should include at least one ethnic minority on the applicant list.
The pews aRE EMPTYING FAST as the people reject the wokeness and lack of Christianity in the C of E The Jews are just being silly because short of bringing in a load of Falashas they are never going to have enough Black Rabbis to fill those positions.
The Church should have been working hard to counter the ‘religion of peace’ we keep hearing from the BBC, but as it’s now a failing crowd of dying congregations, there just aren’t enough Christians to go round, sadly.
Senora O’Blene and I had religion rammed down our throats when we were kids, and even later, and that was that – we’d learned the rules, and didn’t feel the need to keep popping up in church every Sunday just to say we were a Christians!
I just hope that all those Grade 1 listed churches, lying idle, aren’t used for new leftie communes for the incomers…
The Chief Rabbi is even more of a wet dishcloth than Justin Welby. He also has less charisma than John Major. It’s all PC talking points, the green agenda and common purpose nonsense with him. Of course he has precious little to say about actually defending his religion and defending his people from those who really threaten them. Hence why he is where he is and why he is beloved by the establishment.

2nd EU referendum, London mayoral election, Sleepy Joe’s theft of DT’s second term. Here’s a reminder of Dominic Cummings’ thoughts on how elections get rigged.
‘ If Boris doesn’t get a majority, then Corbyn will take control of No10 on Friday 13th in alliance with Sturgeon plus the Liberal Democrats. And if this Corbyn-Sturgeon alliance takes control, their official policy is to give millions of EU citizens the vote in the second referendum. They don’t plan to lose again and they’ve literally written into their manifesto that they will cheat the second referendum — apart from giving millions of foreign citizens the vote, they will rig the question so the ‘choice’ is effectively ‘Remain or Remain’, they will cheat the rules, they will do anything, supported by the likes of Goldman Sachs writing the cheques like they did in 2016, to ensure Remain win. ’
Remarkable that a black American has shone the light on the politicisation of Chauvin,s trial.
What,s that old description….aah…show trial.

Second item was Tory Sleaze (as defined by Sir Keir) regarding the Conservatives trying to prioritise saving the dying rather that receiving tax. I only managed those headlines and may even have equalled the 4 seconds someone quoted earlier before switching off.

Today Tommy Robinson (whose real name is….) began his defence at a libel trial in London.
Mr Robinson is having to defend himself against the allegations made by a Syrian refugee school boy, who is being represented by a QC
This yet another example of lawfare. It should be obvious even to the hard of thinking that a Syrian school kid could not afford to employ the services of a top barrister, and legal aid is not available in civil cases like this, so who are his litigation friends and are their names available to the public, because they certainly should be.
We need to know if our old friends the cowardly useless incompetent far left Tories are behind this monstrous court case which is an attack on freedom. Even if indirtectly funding via charitable fronts for the socialist workers party.
The same is happening to Lawrence Fox who was rather silly in calling a drag queen a paedophile after he was called a ‘racist’. The word ‘racist’ now is as common a swear word as calling someone a ba***rd as it’s as common to do so and carries just about as much truth and meaning.
The litigation friend in the Robinson case would appear to be one Abdulnaser Yousef and there could be many of that name, however the one which stands out as most likely is a Kuwati lawyer and again we come back to the oil rich Middle Eastern Arabs meddling in our countries affairs if this is indeed the case.

Quick comment for the admins about the domain change. Congrats guys for getting the site back up in the difficult circumstances. Some of this will probably have occurred to you, but will you be switching the site back to the old domain if you can?
The reason I ask is that despite any Google algorithms loaded against the site (they probably will be) it has built up traction in terms of ‘domain authority’ and did tend to score quite well in the search results for a simple search like ‘Biased BBC’. This is how I discovered the site several years ago.
It’s great to see the site back up but a lot of regular visitors will probably still be searching for it – at least those who did not get the email. Likewise, others like me may have to scrabble through browser settings to recover their password – or might have to create a new account.
A move back to the old domain would not feel good to those who are now getting used to the new one, but it would be a way to restore the domain authority – it could take years to do that with the new one. The alternative would be to try to do some SEO – search engine optimisation – of the new domain. If that’s the preferred route then I would be happy to help if you are short of manpower for that.

Another possibility is to have a group on Facebook.
Call it something innocent like bias backup group or whatever and if we all join we could get messages by looking on the group page.
You join by invite and it could be a backup contact for us.

I posted yesterday that I had been watching racist snooker on the bBC, I was watching again today and I realised that snooker fills the bBC political stance. 1 blue Tory ball, 1 yellow Liberal ball, 15 Socialist balls and a fellow traveller, the pink ball.
I see the OED for 2022 will include the following new words
Chauvin (n) A sacrificial lamb, a tethered goat.
Chauvin (v) Chauvined, hung out to dry, dismissed by the establishment as a sop to a racist political front (BLM)
Anyway, happy Stephen Lawrence day for tomorrow.

I used to watch snooker on tele years ago when it was known as “Pot Black” and the program signature tune was “The Black and White Rag” banged out on the piano by the great Winifred Atwell.
In those days the tele was in black and white and unless you were a competent snooker player you had to rely on the eyesight and honesty of the commentator as to which ball went where.
Since then Snooker coverage may have improved but commentators have regressed.

The big plan for smart meters will make the grid greener but the plan has been dumbed down so much that it is no longer even marketed as it may confuse the public.
The plan is once everyone has a smart meter then tariffs can be changed hour by hour to encourage people to use electrity during offpeak times to help balance the load so power stations can run at their most efficient output levels. A bit like Uber taxis where they are cheaper if the current demand is low.

@Tabs I disagree *Domestic* smart meters do very little for the grid
The PR trickster people always like to give the performance for solar/wind farms in terms of “homes”
So for a region of 100,000 people they might say the wind farm supplies 20,000 homes.
However AFAIK the truth is most electricity use is not in the home but rather in government/commercial or industrial settings
so the windfarm won’t be supplying anything like the 20% it first seems.
Now in those government/commercial or industrial settings there maybe some scope for moving some working hours on some high use operations say from evening to after midnight.
But at home, electricity use is not so flexible ie you use leccy when you are home in the evening, not in the daytime when you are at work.
They could get everyone to put their washing machine on before they go to bed,
instead of when they get up.
However I can’t see that helping the grid that much overall.

Viewers condemn sick Iraqi prank TV show where ISIS fighters ‘kidnap’ celebs
21 April 2021 Share
A prank TV show in Iraq where celebrities are duped into thinking they have been kidnapped by ISIS, strapped with suicide vests and told they are to be executed has been roundly condemned.
The show, Tanneb Rislan focuses on celebrities who believe they have signed up to undertake charitable work for displaced families, leading them to a remote village where they are then ambushed and surrounded by fake ISIS fighters in trucks equipped with fully automatic rifles, rocket launchers and suicide vests, before being blindfolded and interrogated.

War graves inquiry finds ‘pervasive racism’
Story detail
“Entrenched prejudices, preconceptions and pervasive racism of contemporary imperial attitudes” were the reasons behind tens of thousands of predominantly black and Asian troops not being properly commemorated, a report has found. At least 116,000 mostly African and Middle Eastern casualties from World War One “were not commemorated by name or possibly not commemorated at all”, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission inquiry discovered. Some were remembered collectively in memorials – unlike their white counterparts who had a headstone with their name – and others who were missing were only recorded in registers rather than in stone.
The failure to give fair and proper recognition was “influenced by a scarcity of information, errors inherited from other organisations and the opinions of colonial administrators”. But underpinning all these decisions was “pervasive racism”, the commission, tasked with commemorating those who had died in the war, said. Six million soldiers from the British Empire served in World War One. Between 45,000 and 54,000 Asian and African personnel who died in the conflict were “commemorated unequally”. Apologising after finding service personnel weren’t formally remembered in the same way as their white counterparts, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission says “the events of a century ago were wrong then and are wrong now”. The commission will now be “acting immediately to correct” the wrongs of the past.

Labour calls for PM-Dyson texts probe
Labour has called for a “thorough investigation” into Boris Johnson’s contacts with inventor Sir James Dyson. In texts revealed yesterday, the prime minister says he could “fix” tax issues relating to Dyson staff who came to the UK to make ventilators during the pandemic. While Mr Johnson “makes no apology” for trying to get ventilators for the NHS, Labour says this was part of a pattern of government “sleaze” and wants a cross-party investigation with senior MPs “as soon as possible”. The “revelations seem to confirm a growing feeling that if someone has access to a telephone number of someone like the prime minister or the chancellor, then they are able to gain special treatment”, shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves says.

US climate summit to push for ‘immediate’ action
An updated pledge to nearly halve carbon emissions by 2030 is expected to be unveiled by the US at a global virtual summit later. Hosted by President Joe Biden, the US will attempt to re-assert its global leadership on climate change. It follows on from his work in the early days of his administration to make climate change a key focus. China’s President Xi Jinping is one of the 40 leaders expected to attend the summit in the White House and he has shared views with the US despite serious tensions between the two countries. “It’s quite clear that there is a distinctly shared level of ambition. Both countries see this as a crisis. Both countries see the need for action in the 2020s,” said a senior Biden administration official ahead of the meeting.

And finally… a review of a movie no one is going to watch except Vince and David Lammy.
Why Two Distant Strangers is ‘important and necessary’
Travon Free was co-writing a romcom screenplay last year when George Floyd died. Free decided the romcom would have to wait – as an African American, he wanted to create a serious screenplay addressing the police killings of black people in the US. But the resulting short film, Two Distant Strangers, which is nominated at this week’s Oscars, still borrows a lot from one of the big comedy hits of the 1990s.
Following Mr Floyd’s death, Free said to Martin Desmond Roe, a white British writer and director, that he wanted to switch tracks. “There were all the George Floyd protests in America and marches around the world,” he says. “So at the beginning of our work day I just told Martin I had a new idea for a short film, and after that it just consumed our lives.”

I’m trying to figure out which actors are going to play the ‘cop’ and dead criminal – I reckon ‘idris ‘( spell check says ‘Doris ) as the cop and Gary oldman / person as the criminal – after all white Anglos are the bad guys these days ….
.. or maybe Olive Coleman as the criminal and that woman from Fargo as the cop …

Your, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” has mentioned the vast massing of warships from around the World in the South China Sea to directly confront China? No fear!
But, hey, this is domestically newsworthy from the same locale:
“Warships deployed in search for missing submarine….The Indonesian vessel, which has 53 people on board, disappeared off the coast of Bali on Wednesday.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-56829278
Anyway, lets look elsewhere –
Any mention of the estimated 120,000 Russian troops massing on the Ukraine border? No.
Any mention of the fact that the US Ambassador has been asked to leave Russia? No.
I have concluded that depriving the general public of the increasing confrontations between China, Russia and the accompanying bellicose language is all to do with the heightened pleasure the BBC will obtain when World War 3 starts and its “shock and awe” effect on the hitherto unknowing general public.
The BBC – “The Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster”?
Not by any measure.

Some days you look at the media and say ‘great ‘.
HMG has put out some stuff about the 4 billion reduction in the overseas give away budget – 100 NGOs (aka self serving £charity£ industry ) and the crank red Tory MP – Andrew Mitchell – are ‘upset ‘.. therefore it must be a good thing .
Government – please the other £10 billion of taxpayers ‘cash being given away – after all – this was a £Cameron£ idea…
…also – it seems vaccine passports are on the way – which suits me ….

“it seems vaccine passports are on the way – which suits me ….”
I suppose one might say they are just like drivers’ licences (dare one liken them to TV Licences hereabouts?) – that’s supposing one accepted the notion that one needed and ought to jollywell have a licence just to walk the streets. And of course we’re looking at taking a re-test, in the form of yet another vaccine (or two) every 6 months or so this year, next year, ad infinitum.
Like the near evangelical fervour of the newly converted one notes the enthusiasm of the already vaccinated for all to join them in their vaccinated grace, or else be shunned, cast out into the wilderness of publessness and permanent confinement to these fair isles.
Or supposing, on the off chance, one has allowed oneself to be injected with the new normal DNA chip… (or somesuch) why wouldn’t one want us all to go down the same road? There’s a certain camaraderie in slavery.
I expect I’ll take my punishment eventually once I’ve been well and truly beaten into submission by restriction and red tape – but I’ll take it sullenly and with my fingers crossed.
You won’t catch me advocating for it.

I read about this four months ago in PC world that the DVLC had set up all the core system to handle nationwide logging to piggy back the DV license. It may appear to be a VISA but it has nothing much to do with holidays other than an ‘inducement’ that is hard to resist for most if us. This is likely to be permanent (not linked directly to NHS) linked ID card that Lord Sumption was worried about as the back door to a (future) totalitarian stage. Imagin what CORBYN or STARMER could do with this kind of power (or those in the BBC).
Worryring, as It does not suit me at all. Criminals will be able to buy fraud ID cards – on the black market. Illegals (as they arrive) will get a ‘clean’ ID (UK) to any outstanding court -cases are quietly ‘forgotten’. The Chinese use this system to non-platform – any – opposition leaders and monitor your travel or ban it. Hong Kong for example.

Once upon a time, there was a hallowed old journalistic phrase – silly season. Traditionally this referred to that period lasting for a few summer months typified by the emergence of frivolous news stories.
With the advent of 24-hour rolling broadcast news and of instant social media news alerts, periods of such clearly defined off-season slow news are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile official public information – as opposed to commercial advertising copy – used to be confined to obvious governmental messaging concentrating on subjects in the nature of: why it might be the case that young children ought to avoid strangers approaching them offering an unsolicited private sneek preview of their imagined litter of new puppies (actually these adverts never did expain why – but we got the message anyhow); or perhaps practical detailed advice as to when and how best to contact the coast guard.
One now notes the entrance onto the scene of propagandistic nudge politics, the ballooning of the scope of governmental initiatives and supposed societal responsibilities and the blurring of the line between news and views in our media. One needn’t be of the conspiratorial mindset that habitually cries fake news to notice there’s been some big changes to governmental media tactics and indeed the corporate use and abuse of news media.
Even when a real genuine bona fide news event occurs there are parties – political, commercial, governmental and quasi-governmental, ready and set for what Obama (the community organising President) would term a teaching and/or learning moment.
And with that preamble one notes a pop up news item this morning on my i-phone: ‘The climate crisis is worse than you can imagine – and its scary if you try. But there are ways to help. Here’s a guide‘
Consider various factors from my point of view:
a) my quibbles concerning the basic premise of the message, in that the climate is undergoing change sufficient to really represent a crisis
b) the disrespect shown as to my abilities of imagination
c) the over-estimation of my susceptibilty to fear
d) the jarring gear change implied in the sudden shift from guaranteed doom crisis to supposed solution apparently now within my purview
e) the general tone of command and expectation of my slavish compliance
f) the nagging doubt that such messaging is really aimed at my particular and currently unfashionable demographic
Generally pissed off at the constant receipt – indeed bombardment – of such tosh purporting to be news headlines from all sources, one is sorely tempted to foresake the highlighting of anti-conservatism in the media and to resolve that satire is pretty damned tricky when faced with a media landscape seemingly designed to satirise the public’s very intelligence.
How does one, for instantance, lampoon the Financial Times evident glee that a politician from the Green Party might soon be running Europe? : ‘Germany’s new era Green candidate for chancellor is a breath of fresh air‘ – and what’s the point in pointing out how crony capitalism has for reasons of profiteering adopted the pretence of political environmentalism, when it’s so damned obvious for anyone who cares to notice?
And so in frustration we alight on the frontpage of the Daily Star, a popular tabloid which this morning we award huge props for gifting us an object lesson in both silly season and news subsumed in views…
This is how it’s done: ‘Fearlessly covering the big debate of our age… Yes! No! Joy as UK is hit by Marmite shortage. Horror as UK hit by Marmite shortage’
‘Half of Britain celebrated last night…‘
‘Half of Britain despaired last night…’
You get the idea.

‘Pervasive racism’ blamed for failure to commemorate black and Asian troops.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56840131
More pointless and divisive self-loathing by the BBC. Another gem backed up by references to a Guardian article and tweets by David Lammy.
The report concluded that the failure to properly commemorate the individuals was “influenced by a scarcity of information, errors inherited from other organisations and the opinions of colonial administrators”.
Fair enough. But followed by:
“Underpinning all these decisions, however, were the entrenched prejudices, preconceptions and pervasive racism of contemporary imperial attitudes,” it added.
Mr Lammy said the report was a “watershed moment”.
“No apology can ever make up for the indignity suffered by The Unremembered,” he tweeted.
It’s beyond ridculous. I will not take any of this seriously until people like Lammy are recognised as the racists they are.

Maybe the Government will take note of their propaganda arm and strive to ensure that due commemoration for blacks and Asians takes place after the next World War about to kick off anytime now. That’s assuming there is anything left of a Government. Ditto blacks asians and good ol Whitee.

Not the sharpest tool in the box, but perhaps he doesn’t realise that hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in unmarked graves, their colour irrelevant.

Two separate snippets copied from news pages today that have an obvious link.

To be read alongside….
2. “We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe—without swords, without guns, without conquest—will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”

The implicit meaning of course is that it’s fine for black people to murder other black people because it’s not racist. Their lives have no value if they can’t be used for another agenda.
I’ve just been researching the ‘modern’ definition of ‘racism’ and sure enough, some are subtley changing to state it is only racism when a majority direct it at a minority.
More interesting is one from Wikipedia which specifically states racism is only against a specific race – eg Africans and must not be confused with ‘prejudism based on skin colour’ which is what it says : specific to skin colour and nothing to do with race.
So saying ‘Blacks’ is not racist whereas saying ‘African Blacks’ is.
But you can’t sneer as you say that so I doubt the Left will pay much attention. Their hypocrisy extends much further than that.

The Church should have been working hard to counter the ‘religion of peace’ we keep hearing from the BBC, but as it’s now a failing crowd of dying congregations, there just aren’t enough Christians to go round, sadly.
Senora O’Blene and I had religion rammed down our throats when we were kids, and even later, and that was that – we’d learned the rules, and didn’t feel the need to keep popping up in church every Sunday just to say we were a Christians!

The Chief Rabbi is even more of a wet dishcloth than Justin Welby. He also has less charisma than John Major. It’s all PC talking points, the green agenda and common purpose nonsense with him. Of course he has precious little to say about actually defending his religion and defending his people from those who really threaten them. Hence why he is where he is and why he is beloved by the establishment.

2nd EU referendum, London mayoral election, Sleepy Joe’s theft of DT’s second term. Here’s a reminder of Dominic Cummings’ thoughts on how elections get rigged.
‘ If Boris doesn’t get a majority, then Corbyn will take control of No10 on Friday 13th in alliance with Sturgeon plus the Liberal Democrats. And if this Corbyn-Sturgeon alliance takes control, their official policy is to give millions of EU citizens the vote in the second referendum. They don’t plan to lose again and they’ve literally written into their manifesto that they will cheat the second referendum — apart from giving millions of foreign citizens the vote, they will rig the question so the ‘choice’ is effectively ‘Remain or Remain’, they will cheat the rules, they will do anything, supported by the likes of Goldman Sachs writing the cheques like they did in 2016, to ensure Remain win. ’
