The Far Left Anti British BBC has launched a propaganda offensive against the current UK PM . Whether it be allegations about decorating number 10 – attacks on Sir James Dyson – a vexatious County Court case – the BBC is ‘going for ‘ the PM . Some might think this is a ‘good thing ‘ because the PM might be forced to take action to restructure the BBC – but others might say he is afraid of it .

Just on train back to Manchester after attending freedom March in London. There must have been at least 100,000 there. Checked the bbc webpage expecting to see something about it. Nowt, zilch, nada. It was a huge demo the highlight of which was stopping outside broadcasting house for 10 minutes chanting “shame on you, lying scum”. I am truly staggered by how low these bastards will go.

“…freedom from what again?”
Christ almighty, have you been hibernating? Freedom from having every aspect of our lives controlled by government.
For 15 months we’ve been living in an authoritarian state, as strict as any during the cold war. Our useless media have been entirely complicit, with one or two honourable exceptions.
I loathe being told I can’t go here or stand there, I can’t go to this pub and I can’t enter that restaurant or talk to this person or hug that person. They even tell us how many can enter our houses at Christmas, ffs. This is a totally unnatural way to live…for most of us…
In truth I’m not a great one for this hugging malarkey, in fact I’m really uncomfortable with it, much to the amusement of friends and family, but I absolutely detest being told by a gormless, fat useless numpty like Boris that (if he’s feeling generous) I might be allowed to hug my granny on the second Sunday each month.
That’s the freedom…

Clearly you feel strongly as your many posts have indicated in recent months, but please don’t assume anything about others who may / may not share your views. And yes, I have been ‘hibernating’ rather than spend an unwanted holiday on a ventilator. And yes, there HAVE been a lot of protests and marches that some of us are becoming desensitised to them.

Impossible to become desensitised to the anti lockdown demos, they’re hardly reported!
If a bunch of middle-class spoiled brats (Extinction Rebellion) hold up traffic on Waterloo Bridge as they paint their faces and do silly dances, you can bet your bottom dollar the BBC will be all over it. Pretty much the same thing for the thugs of BLM and Antifa.
However, with the anti-lockdown protests, even though they congregated right outside Beeb Towers, our national broadcaster chose to completely ignore this demo and told us about the one outside the Israeli Embassy. It’s blatantly dishonest.
BTW, good luck with your continued hibernation. Any one who wishes to live their lives like that is fine by me. People can wear masks and “socially distance” for the rest of their lives, if they so wish. I just want the right to choose.
That’s all…

Brissels,
I completely agree with you. I realise that not being able to go to the pub must be a terrible strain but so is worrying that your wife , who in my case is on the vulnerable list , might catch the virus and die . Thank God its over and everyone can now get on with their lives. I thank those who followed the rules despite being in little or no danger themselves. As for those who flouted the rules well they can now enjoy their freedom too.

My original point was about how the bbbc has ignored a huge protest by normal people in our capital city because it is a filthy biased anti GB organisation.
Given that you brought it up, the standard way that people choose to “diss” us “covidiots” is to trot out the well worn accusation that it’s us selfish people who just want to go to the pub who are putting the lives of others in danger. Yes I have missed the pub as well as many other of my cherished norms whilst I have been a conformist (albeit a reluctant one).
I am a fit and able bodied man in my mid fifties and have played by the rules whilst knowing deep down that many of them were nonsense.
I’ve seen my income slashed by two thirds, friends go out of business, my 95 year old grandma reduced to fearful hermitage and my kids denied life chances and experiences that, in our early twenties, we all had and enjoyed.
As I said earlier I do respect everyone’s right to do whatever they think they need to do to stay well but please don’t accuse me of being the selfish one.

Stew,
Not only Lineker. I streamed the match and ended up with BT Sport’s coverage, as I turn off when it goes to the studio at both half-time and full-time, and only turn it on after they’ve taken the knee, I can only comment on the match itself.
As a neutral I found it hard to listen to, if I had been watching it as a Chelsea fan I’d have been ragin’ at how one-sided they were in their support for Leicester.
I wonder what would have been said if big Jonny Evans from Loyalist Rathcoole, pictured beside Leicestershire born Bengali-Grenadian Choudhury, had draped the Ulster Banner, the flag of the country he’s actually from, over his shoulders?

I forgot the first of these this morning (it was mentioned on TOADY) but is now qualifying for the second category – see pic top centre – on the BBC web-site Home Page. Priti Patel, very fetching in a pink face mask getting a vaccine jab, is underneth a banner pic of FA Cup Final celebrations of Leicester City players.
It is obvious that the Left and some in the MSM (BBC?) and maybe some Civil Serpents in Priti’s Ministry do not like her and are out to get her removed as Home Secretary.
Meanwhile, instead of reporting the Freedom March, on that same Home Page, the BBC go for a week-old item about Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock having to endure all sorts of bad things on the way to doing what she wanted to do: become a millionaire pop star.
You couldn’t make it up.

A lot of Union Flags flying in the photos. Does that mean there are some loyal Jocks left?
Any Jocks care to comment ?…………
24 likes
Not a Jock but the Rangers fans fly the Union Flag in opposition to the Celtic fans who fly the Irish Republican tri colour. Rangers are supposed to be Protestant and loyal. Celtic are supposed to be Catholic and largely descended from Irish navvies in the 19th century so disloyal. That’s where the bigotry comes from both sides.
I did read once, but I don’t know how true it is, that during the last Intafada some of the Celtic fans flew the Palestinian flag from their houses so some Rangers fans flew the Israeli Flag in response.
25 likes
Taffman – Yes, but it’s complicated.
It goes back to Irish immigration to Glasgow in the 19th century. Celtic was a club formed in the Irish catholic community. Rangers attracted Ulster protestants and the indigenous Scottish protestants. Over the years the Irish Tricolour became the flag of Celtic supporters, the Union Jack the flag of Rangers supporters. An old firm game often feels less like a Scottish contest than the Northern Ireland Troubles transplanted to Glasgow. So much so that the fans of other Scottish teams would taunt them with “You’re in the wrong ******* country!”
I doubt if most Rangers fans have much sense of what you might mean by “loyal”. With all their songs and flags and posturing there is certainly a sense of them reaffirming their tribal identity but in my experience hating catholics is what it is really all about. One Rangers fan I knew once discreetly asked me, because he regarded me as intelligent, what a catholic was exactly. He didn’t actually know they were a Christian denomination. Another Rangers fan told me that one of the first songs his father taught him as a very young child was “The Sash”, one of the supporters’ favourite songs at matches. Its words go like this:
Sure it’s old but it is beautiful
And its colours they are fine
It was worn at Derry, Aughrim,
Enniskillen and the Boyne
My father wore it as a youth
In the bygone days of yore
And it’s on the twelfth that I love to wear
The sash my father wore.
(Concluded with a loud exclamation of “F*** the Pope!”)
The song refers to the campaign of William of Orange in Ireland and his victory over the forces of the deposed catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, a date that is engraved on every Rangers supporter’s heart. The sash is the orange sash that Orangemen wear.
So, yes, I think most Rangers supporters would have voted NO to Scottish independence. (Rather oddly, in my view, a lot of people of Irish catholic heritage seem to have voted YES.) But I doubt if you would feel much affinity with those “loyal” people waving Union flags in Glasgow city centre. They are rowdies, hooligans and thugs.
Celtic supporters took to waving Palestinian flags in recent years, probably recognising fellow paranoiacs who love wallowing in victimhood. Rangers fans in response took to waving Israeli flags. I doubt if either set of fans know much about the history of the Middle East.
But rest assured, Taff, there are plenty of other types of loyal Jocks. You will see us if Sturgeon dares to hold Indyref2.
(Just seen your post, Demon. Apologies for saying much the same thing.)

They do say politicians will always look out for their own. We suspect they give preferential treatment to their friends. When they get to power we know they return favours, quid pro quo. And so it is we learn: ‘Biden tells Israel to protect media after office destroyed‘ (Sunday Telegraph)
Joe Biden was the media’s candidate for the US Presidency. There have already been some scandals and certain missteps at his White House but you won’t hear much about about them because the media are loyal to their man. If I were to research and relate some of the Biden bad news you’d think me a US politics nerd because you wouldn’t have heard of them.
There’s a sense that Americans became weary of their previous President being in the news day in day out. I know I did and I don’t even live there. You can blame Donald Trump for his narcissism and his continual tweeting but it’s fair to say that at times when he didn’t force himself into the headlines the news media would make something up about him, just to keep him there.
The unspoken Biden compact with the voters seemed to be (figuratively) vote for me, I’m neither Trump nor one of those real Democrat crazies, I’m just sleepy old Joe and I’ll go to sleep on the job, so you can go back to your daily lives less bothered by the news.
Boris Johnson should take note. He should get on with the day job doing things we voted for, such as this: ‘Voters in “red wall” seats will replace “metropolitan bubble” voices on the boards of Britain’s museums and heritage bodies to stop groups bowing to pressure from “woke” activists over contested history‘ (Telegraph) – frankly, we can do away with all those scare quotes, Telegraph, we’re all grown ups here.
The point I’m making is that Boris should get on with the job boldly before the unfriendly media grind him down. Before we the electorate who have excused his clownish libertine antics for the sake of Brexit succomb to the media blandishments in support of some lefty-leaning Blair-like lawyerish milk-toast knee-taking rival.
The battle lines are already drawn on the issue of lockdown. The elitist left-leaners in the media love their lockdown and don’t want it to end: ‘Johnson “must think again on plans to relax Covid rules”‘ (Observer – ie the weekend Guardian); ‘Covid families’ fury over Boris. Will he ever learn? Grieving familes of Covid victims have accused Boris Johnson of “repeating past mistakes”, putting us at the Indian variant’s mercy‘ (Sunday People) – but what’s this? ‘They spoke out amid fears his failure to restrict travel from India in early April has allowed the mutant to take seed‘
That’s oddly familiar to early 2020 when we had internal lockdown quarantine but open borders with China and Italy.
Criticism of the lack of foreign quarantine (border control) exposes a significant class divide in the opposition thinking. The middle class metro-liberals are happy to keep zooming it in to work, those – don’t whatever you do mention the border – types, now stand apart from the poor plebs who see their familiar package holidays regulated and priced beyond their reach but Air india jumbos flooding in as per usual.
There’s a reason we weren’t supposed to call it the China Flu. There’s now a sense that the lockdown compliant media happily cried “India Varient!” so as to prolong their comfortable lockdown but missed the fact the masses would notice where the India variant had originated and might begin to question how it got here.

Nine people were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and a further four people were arrested on suspicion of breaching the Health Protection Regulations. They remain in custody.

Gaza tower containing media offices collapses after Israeli strike
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-middle-east-57126742
No BBC. It housed Hamas which is why it was destroyed.
A classic BBC trick. It infers they targeted it for the media offices when in fact it had nothing whatsoever to do with the reason.
Something struck me as I though about it : if the press-building also housed Hamas (and I am certain it did : Israel knows what is going on) then it is inconceivable that all those journalists did not know about it.
Yet none of them have said anything. I presume it’s because the very fact they are there means they side with Palestine against Israel.
Lies by ommission with intent to mislead are lies just the same. All these media people are low-life scumbags. No other way to describe them.

Looking for the debate last time this kicked off.
I think it was a Danish journo screwed to MSM pooch sharing that from the hotel they were all in everyone could hear the rockets being launched outside.

Get ’em young on cbeebies each day next week at 11.20 with Asnath, Semhar, Tianah and Chris for Magic Hands: Black History Songs. Looks fairly innocuous you say, but I’m wondering how political it will get.
From their schedule:
Mon: Dancing in the Street – in Notting Hill, home of the famous Notting Hill Carnival
Tues: To be Young, Gifted and Black – on Blackfriars Bridge, where black people have marched for equality
Wed: Lean on me – in Notting Hill, where a lot of people from the Caribbean settled
Thurs: Something Inside So Strong – in east London, at the site of an important publishing house
Fri: Three Little Birds – at Bob Marley’s house! Or at least the house he lived in, in London

The bBC are keen on ‘international law.’
I gather we cannot deport any invaders, illegals, terrorists or rapists due to some international law or another.
So What? The safety of the country and its citizens comes first and surely trumps any (so-called) international law.

They seems to have remakably little to say about firing hundreds of rockets at major cities with the deliberate intent of targetting civilians.
THAT is the only clear-cut war-crime here. Yet these ‘BBC fact checkers’ seem to have missed it for some reason.

I know that women in presenting (news or otherwise) have been shortchanged over the years, but dear Lord why must we be tortured with these women who look and sound like 16 year olds when reporting serious news. Not BBC although they’ve got their fare share, but Foreign News Reporter – Deborah Haines on Sky – honest to God she sounds like a kid reading an essay on work experience as she gives us the latest updates from Jerusalem.

Why Labour is unelectable, if you can bear to listen to the full thing, and why they lost in Hartlepool and will continue to lose. However it has to be said that many of these are things you hear on the BBC too.

Arizona Audit. According to Donald Trump the entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED! This is illegal and the Arizona State Senate, who is leading the Forensic Audit, is up in arms. Additionally, seals were broken on the boxes that hold the votes, ballots are missing, and worse. Mark Brnovich, the Attorney General of Arizona, will now be forced to look into this unbelievable Election crime.

Although it might be true, it also might not be, as it is a massively confusing picture at present, but even if it is true it would not now change the declared result, and it would appear to be more the cock up rather than conspiracy theory too.

One thing to think about in the Palestinian Hamas led attacks on Israel, where are the huge quantities of munitions coming from? Who is supplying them and who is paying for them.
Yep it comes back to Barak Obamas insane nuclear deal where he gave Iran millions of dollars in exchange for nothing at all, and now they can use that money to fund acts of terror just like this!

The BBC are on form this morning.
On Kitchen Best Bites, there’s some nutter telling me how tasty ants are. Not only are they full of protein, they’re also “sustainable”. Honestly! He’s carrying on like one of those wine bores, “I can smell citrus, just a hint of meadow grass…” FFS. He and his equally odd looking mate are seen drooling over a plate of juicy asparagus, swarming with ants. What’s for afters, earwigs and trifle? Yummy!
Then on BBC1 at 11, there’s a programme that could have been interesting…alas…
Pilgrimage: The Road to Santiago follows a bunch of “celebrities” as they walk the famous trail. I thought, I might have a gander, however…thankfully I read the introduction…
“The celebrity pilgrims leave a hostel in solidarity with Heather when she senses racism.”
Oh well, if she “sensed racism” no wonder they left. Any of these chinless numpties would have seen their careers going down the plug-hole if they hadn’t left.
Think I’ll do some work in the greenhouse…

‘Sensing racism’ means someone didn’t bow down to you in worship at your blackness.
Like the Little Mix star who ‘felt’ she was insufficiently adored by the fans.
Bizarrely, she also claimed discrimination because she ‘felt’ she was chosen for the band as the ‘token black’.
But hey, at least it allows the beeb to drag racism into everything and virtue signal.

It seems Our Marianna of the Rack (apologies Jean Genet) went to Sutton High School before French and ab initio Russian at Oxford. My wife supply taught another European language at Sutton High for a while and one of our friends taught French there for years, but retired before Marianna. The girls are very, very bright, both my wife and our friend tells us, and we have other friends whose daughters went there and who are quite brilliant.
My younger son did the same course, but at another university, and his Russian sojourn gave him his PGDip, in Russian translation, in Tomsk. As an expert in misinformation, Our Marianna etc should correct her Wiki entry, which says she spent a year in Russia. Her Linkedin entry says she spent five months there, as like my son she would have needed to do a semester in France. Unlike my son, whilst there Our Marianna etc translated ‘news stories’ from the Moscow Times into English rather than something more intellectually challenging.
Presumably Our Marianna etc learnt about misinformation/disinformation from the masters at the Moscow Times, which would explain everything about her

The BBC website is currently running an article called ‘Can you spot digital lies?’. Apparently, not everything on the internet is true, unlikely as that might seem to some. To save people the trouble of having to watch the accompanying video, I’ve been hard at work and put together a list of some websites which have been reported as carrying lots of digital porkies. Note: this is not an exhaustive list.

Earlier, Brissles (10’22) mentioned a Sky reporter called Deborah Haines and told us of her report sounding like a schoolgirl or something similar.
Well
I’ve just seen this girl (Haines) reporting on some stuff like Palestinian flags and slogans painted on a house out there and believe it or not she called it a ‘murial’
Not just once but several times so it was no mistake, she really thinks it’s a murial.
Most of us will remember Coronation street (when it was worth watching) and Hilda’s ‘murial’
Is this what the Universities are churning out now, people with degrees yet thick as mince.

EG… I saw this as well and recorded it. Having listened to it a few times, I think you may be mistaken. The schoolgirl actually seems to be saying ‘manure’, rather than ‘murial’. Mind you, my hearing is not what it used to be. A few months back, I thought I heard our illustrious Prime Minister clearly say ‘We will be driven by the data, not by the dates”, but am told he said the exact opposite.

Re- recording – reminds me of when i complained to the BBC over 15 years ago accusing Jeremy Bowan of inciting racial hatred when he had read aggresively a passage from a notoriously anti Semitic newspaper on Radio 4 . I followed the complaint to the top and the BBC denied it, sending me a tape of what he had said . The issue was that it had been re- recorded and his voice was now gentle and mild.

Watch any TV quiz show like Pointless or The Chase when they have a student or recent graduate. Not only do they often have a staggering lack of general knowledge they frequently get questions wrong in the very subject they supposedly study/ied. They all, however, have an expert knowledge of social media and celebrity culture.

One day, the BBC might wake up and realise that everything they consider ‘progressive’ is in fact regressive and often repressive, and vice versa: truly progressive, radical, original thinking is now to be found on the libertarian right.
Earlier I posted a YouTube clip of 4 commentators who epitomise that movement (Douglas Murray, Peter Boghossian, Travis Brown, Dave Rubin) but there are many others.
Bad luck beeb, you are passé, irrelevant, out of touch.
