Sometime this week the BBC is to publish a report by Lord Dyson on its’ conduct over the Princess Diana interview by Martin Bashir . Mr Bashir left the BBC for ‘health reasons ‘ on Friday 14th May. He had held the post of ‘head of religion ‘. Now it transpires that a Panorama documentary about the Diana Interview – due to be broadcast on Monday – has been cancelled . Much more will follow ….

– page 3 started 4:46 PM Sunday
Topics included the pro-Palestinian protesters being anti-Semitic
– MSM putting out a false narrative tht the IDF had targetted a media building
and omitting that ample warning was given
Doing stunts like pretending they were acidentally pointing a camera at it when the explosion happened
– page 2 started 6pm Saturday
Topics included the way the BBC covered the pro-Palestinian demo
but ignored the Freedom protest that targetted the BBC building
..maybe cos it frightened them.
I should add that the BBC has always been selective about what marches it covers.
The truth is any march is a PR stunt, not an actual news event.
And that marches happen every week in London, so the vast majority are not covered.
Blimey, first and at 7pm on a Sunday.
Where to start this week? So many rich pickings
Indian scare, no mention from BBC that 10% of those in hospital are not vaccinated despite being eligible, I wonder why?
Palestinians and their proxy,s still complaining about Israel, I wonder why?
US border still being overwhelmed, I wonder why?
Perhaps the BBC could fact check for me
Bit of a side-issue, but how do the likes of Marianna actually do their fact checking? Do they ring the Guardian hotline, do they consult the BBC Girls’ and Boys’ Bumper Book of Facts or merely stick their finger in the air and see which way the liberal wind is blowing.
Perhaps Maxi, sorry, maxi could ask Marianna to tell us how it’s done. Do you need a degree in French and Russian, or Journalism maybe or just oodles of talent? I think it would serve the public interest if Marianna gave us the fax straight.
Well, no chance of two in a row ‘first’ for me but I wonder if the D-G could find himself in a spot of bother over the BBC’s lack of coverage of a significant news event in London?
Could Timmeh (as some on here refer to him) be another very short-lived D-G? That would be a ‘two in a row’.

‘Poor old Greta’s now history’: Thunberg overshadowed by rising star Xiye Bastida
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/05/16/andrew-marr-hints-bbc-exit-impartiality-frustrations/
“The presenter warned he may soon find it ‘very, very hard’ to carry on being neutral on political issues”
What a joke.
Unless Red Andy reveals he was a supporter of Ukip all along, I doubt anyone will find the “reveal” of his oh so hidden political views to be much of a surprise.
The fact that he thinks we do not know his political views shows how deluded he is. It seems a £400k salary from the BBC does not buy much in the way of self awareness.
Another joke – it sounds like Mandelson is going to write it.
On the Labour Battle Bus ?
There will be shouts of
Sir Keir we’re kneely there .
You wanna laugh ?
Below is a cut and paste from the Telegraph – enjoy
STARTS
Andrew Marr has suggested his frustration over BBC impartiality could soon lead him to leave the corporation so he can speak his mind about politics.
In a frank public admission, the broadcaster predicted that the coming decade would be even more “turbulent” than the last, testing his resolve to stay neutral on major stories.
The 61-year-old, who still presents the BBC’s flagship political show on Sundays, refused to be drawn on what issues he felt may cause the rift with his employer in future.
His comments are among his most forthright on his relationship with the corporation, which is going through a period of transition under a new director general, Tim Davie.
Last year, Mr Marr said he found the impartiality requirements at the BBC “very frustrating” but insisted he did still “really believe” in its work.
He went further, however, in an interview at Aye Write, Glasgow’s book festival, which was broadcast online on Sunday.
Asked by his interviewer, the journalist Ruth Wishart, whether he ever felt “a desperate urge to come out of the closet” over his political views, Mr Marr replied: “Yes, absolutely.”
He refused to elaborate on his personal politics, saying: “I cannot tell you now because I will lose my job.”
Mr Marr continued: “There are many privileges of working at the BBC, including the size of the audience and all of that, but the biggest single frustration by far is losing your own voice, not being able to speak in your own voice.
“What I could say safely is that I think we are going to go through a period of politics – the next 10 or 20 years – much more turbulent and much more interesting and testing and challenging then anything we have seen in the last 10 years, which have been big enough.
“I think it will be very, very hard for people like me to carry on being completely neutral and completely sotto voce all the way through that.
“At some point, I want to get out and use my own voice again. How and when, I have no idea.”
Mr Marr gave no further hint about the source of his mounting frustration with politics, but had reflected earlier in the interview on his flirtation with Marxism when he was a student.
His interest in radical left-wing ideas even earned him the nickname Red Andy, but he told the interviewer that he never fully embraced Marxist theories.
Mr Marr said the work of Karl Marx was still a “useful tool when you’re trying to understand the world”, but added: “He had absolutely no real sense of politics.”
He went on to say of capitalism: “My view is that the market is something in which we live all the time, it’s almost the water we swim in and it’s given us all the things we take for granted around ourselves.
“It’s a great machine for inventiveness and ingenuity, but it presents two really serious problems.
“One is dirt, it produces filth and pollution. The second is that it produces huge and unacceptable levels of inequality. To me, the job of politics is to clear up the dirt and reduce the inequality.”
Mr Marr was appointed as the BBC’s political editor in 2000 before going into presenting programmes including The Andrew Marr Show, which has run since 2005.ENDS
Will Andy be helping Mandy with the manifesto?
Perhaps for comrade Marr – it should be comrade marrx
Do any of us really need this individual in the role of political editor, representing the political stance of the BBC. NO, yes I thought you all might say that.
Feedback show on R4
– Claimed “a factual 15 mins on Radio 4 costs only £3,600”
FFS that sounds a lot lots of private podcasters could prouce a good 30 minutes in half a day on their phone
That’s like 100th of the BBC cost
– Talking about dramas they said they have dramatically cut budgets … OMG
.. then next moment they admitted they still produce the same number of hours on that budget.
One one thing seems obvious is that the BBC pays for a drama and then fails to market it.
Like why when they make a drama is it not automatically sold to a grand network of English speaking speech radio stations : Aus, NZ, South Africa, India, Canada, America, Caribbean etc.
Two members of the public talked about shows they liked.
Bothe of them were from London.
They sell drama all over the world but it’s not automatic.
It costs about a quarter of a million for each episode of drama……and about £50,000 for an episode of factual tv.
Drama seems to be the current way to keep viewer figures up……but in some cases, the figures are the same as popular factual.
Gary you are talking about TV
I did say I was talking about radio drama.
Marr -Used to sell the Trotskyist Socialist Worker outside
Kings Cross station in London .Maybe he wants to become
the editor now.
Do you think they could afford his going rate?
Marr… Kumar…
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/may/16/nish-kumar-bbc-must-be-clear-did-it-axe-the-mash-report-in-a-war-on-woke?
The market rate talent the BBC had and has is truly… unique.
10pm Sunday night was a fine example on how to sanitize a news report. A brief part of the film shown of the Palestinians in cars driving through North London threatening to rape Jewish women and children before Mishal was able to say the demonstrations passed off mainly peacefully. If you didn’t know there had been other attacks, the comment made no sense. If you did know that two youths attacked a rabbi in Chigwell and knew he has ended up in hospital, you wouldn’t know that was part of the attacks that wasn’t peaceful. I was in Finchley today and fortunately didn’t hear the yobs but I can tell you from previous incidents, it leaves you unnerved and I wouldn’t consider the verbal attacks as peaceful. But still, Jews are the wrong kind of minority and in Mishal’s eyes, count for nothing.
Tonight is the first night of the Jewish High Holy day of Shavuot celebrating receiving the Torah. But of course, unlike Ramadan or Eid was too trivial to mention by BBC news.
Stay safe Deborah.
Thanks
There is an aspect of the immediate mobilisation of young Muslim men at the drop of a hat, which affects us all.
In any altercation which involves Islam or Muslims, hundreds or thousands of Muslims are able to gather at any spot in a matter of minutes. This can only happen if there is a communication, command/control and conveyance system to facilitate such a rapid response.
1. Communication – the mobile phone does that
2. Command centre – the mosque or its affiliates
3. Conveyance – in most European cities the taxi service is operated by Muslims. This provides a quick and reliable service to take Muslim units to the confrontation zone.
4. Combat ready young men.
The result of this integrated system is that in any confrontation, Muslims, though a minority, are able to have local superiority in numbers at the confrontation zone. This is a quasi military Rapid Response system.
This system allows them to gain superiority over other protesters and even the police. This has been evident now for decades in all Western European cities. The astonishing thing is that Muslims/Islam knew and planned from the outset that they had to do this.
This has very serious ramifications – particularly in France, as it sets out to protect France.
It is also useful that the young muslim men do not work, so they are available at the drop of a hat.
Once again we must understand that there is a very close link between Jews and Muslims, they are bascially all ARABS. They will always be as perverse aganinst each other as they have been for centuries-and certainly before Islam came about in the 7th Century.
Now what emerges is one that is of loathing, hate, become decayed, gangerous even in their struggle each for continuance. We in the West if at all possible should keep well away from the conflict and reduce the reporting of same to the very minimum. Europe/Britain have monsterous problems now to face, Israel/Palistine must not be brought into our scope of worry.

Indeed.
A few days ago TIME tweeted a ‘must watch’ compilation of ‘all’ the protests around the world.
I used to subscribed to TIME and Newsweek.
Now they are both woke joke comics created by juveniles for fellow ovine idiots.
That’s an insult to sheep.

Shayan quoting the BBC page
but since the police tweet used the same phrase they are covered.
AFAIK the video comes from a single source
so someone could argue ..audio could have been doctored.
Guest, Stew,
Shayan, the Muslim Marianna, or “Arab Spring” perhaps, came to the bBbc via Middlesex University having once been employed by the the Iranian Government.
Here’s some of his employment history according to Linkedin.
“Supervisor
Iranian Radio Station (IRIB Payam Radio)
Apr 2009 – Jan 2011 1 year 10 months
Tehran, Iran
I was employed as the supervisor for the international news section of the Iranian National Radio, personally responsible for monitoring the latest international news developments of the day.
I selected the most relevant and interesting stories, translated them into Persian and sent them to Iranian state radio head office.
Iranian Ministry of Industry Graphic
Assistant Engineer
Iranian Ministry of Industry
Jun 2010 – Nov 20106 months
Tehran, Iran
I was the assistant Engineer on a Feasibility Study Project relating to the implementation of modern technologies in 10 different fields of industry within Iran.
I carried out detailed research regarding the feasibility of the changes and the profitability of the project by interviewing managers, recording their responses and presenting the findings to the team of Engineers.
I prepared comprehensive reports comparing statistics and estimating the consequences of the recommendations
Young Journalists Club (YJC) Graphic
Journalist
Young Journalists Club (YJC)
May 2006 – Jun 20093 years 2 months
Tehran
I was the official correspondent for the Housing Ministry and Energy Ministry, initially employed as an economic and industrial translator of international news, then an interpreter for live interviews
I was later promoted to ‘Main Reporter’ for two ministries where my duties comprised of writing, editing and posting headlines, analysis and articles regarding the latest economic developments of the country. ”
Am I reading this right. It would certainly explain his reluctance to call a spade a spade, at the very least it surely questions his impartiality and suitability for the post he is in, a post he has apparently been in for over 8 years. How long have they had a “Monitoring Unit”? Is Marianna really nothing more than a recent rebrand?
An ex-“Nezam” employee assessing the legitimacy of such information and news? Deciding what we should and can consider to be the real story? Only at the bBbc.
Tx for that.
He is also the fact checker whose facts need checking as they seldom check out.
They’ve had a monitoring unit since WW2.
They always leave for for doubt when it’s off-agenda. Just a little niggle that it might not be true.
And what did the Mayor of London, Muslim Sadiq Khan say ?.
“Hate crimes are inexcusable and have no place in our city”
Is that is Sadiq ?. Nothing specific about their utterly disgusting chants to rape Jews daughters ?. Just a generic phrase to cover anti-Muslim hate crime as well ?.
I see this story has gone up late at night again. Let’s see if it survives on the BBC front page until breakfast.
Where could these Palestinian supporters be getting their anti-semitic views from? Surely not from a faith that compares Jews to pigs and apes, and exhorts its adherents to attack unbelievers?
Here is a thought for the week: If we the humble posters can see the blatant bias promulgated by Al Beeb, so can the Tory MPs. Why haven’t they taken action ?
They’re frit.
And in many ways they’re from the same liberal swamp.
Yep most are socialist, Agenda21, fakegreen, Great Reset people
so part of BBC groupthink
I see someone claiming correctly that SOME of those Muslim protesters carrying placards saying things like “Behead those who insult Islam” at the Danish Embassy in 2006
were jailed for some years
Mostly cos the police found more incitement material at their homes.
However on appeal some sentences were reduced
The photo show at least 8 carrying death placards
court reports seem to mention only 8 being jailed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7070191.stm
typo only 4 being jailed
Headline:
Covid: Tom Cruise signs shirts for football club on movie set
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-57129309
OMG!. Can it be true ?. Did Tom really sign some shirts ???.
Alarm bells rang so I checked out the story.
Ah – there we go. The picture is of girls playing football.
All is as expected. Agenda-led non-story.
Old religion : “No one is free from sin”
BBC Church of Wokology : “members of SpecialVictimhood groups are eternally FREE from sin
.. that includes black criminals, women that murder their husbands etc.
but #OrangeManBad and #WhiteManBad marked as eternally FULL of sin, just for existing
.. unless they are in a SpecialVictimhood group too or have won points from preaching wokeness”
So most white women are marked as eternally FULL of sin too unless the spout lefty/lib politics or are lesbians
Stew:
Have you been talking to Pope Frank?
I suppose that the idea white people are marked as eternally FULL of sin,
is pushback against the idea that black people or gays etc. are eternally FULL of sin,
an idea that a small number of bigots might have pushed in the 1960’s
But that attempt at reversal is not a good correction
It’s a “two wrongs don’t make a right” thing.
The wording of the BBC articles abou Gaza are clearly carefully written to be more or less neutral, but with many small nudges that the Palestinians are the innocent victims here (like a big picture of a rescue worker caryying a large red teddy-bear from the rubble).
But what I have noticed is that they never, ever describe Hamas or anything they do as terrorism. They always call them militants. This is despite the UK and the USA officially recognising them as a terrorist organisation (which they sometimes reluctantly inform us in a stock-paragraph buried near the end of the article).
It’s clear the BBC do not regard them as terrorists.
Indeed, there are many ways of skewing a story while claiming neutrality. And Al-Beeb uses them all.
You describe BBC images of a rescue worker carrying a large red teddy from the rubble. Oh, dear – it sounds as though Damian has joined the Beeb! I refer to a dodgy TV reporter in the 1990s Channel 4 sitcom ‘Drop the Dead Donkey’. Desperate to be shown with tear-jerking pictures, he displays a teddy in the ruins of war zones and disasters throughout the world. Eventually, his boss discovers the much travelled toy and puts an end to the trick.
This was a very funny and deeply cynical comedy about a fictitious news station. (My husband and I are watching the whole lot on DVD.) It’s a sad reflection on the decline in UK TV over the last twenty years that once they could make a programme that mocked journalistic tricks. Now they mostly join in with them.
It’s also striking that the writers of DDD were somewhat leftist, but it’s still very good. The lefty ‘comedy’ writers now are utterly lacking and subtlety or balance.

John:
I did not see the photo of the teddy. That old cliche will never die, it seems. What sort of “rescue worker” wastes time “rescuing” a teddy?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-57138996
Just take a look. It’s appalling journalism. They focus on children instead of the real story because it’s cheap and easy emotional blackmail.
This can never be resolved by dwelling on the consequences. The BBC should be concentrating on the cause. But we know why they don’t.
JohnC
Noted, the posed photograph with a teddy bear.
Propaganda, all paid for by the Telly Tax goofs.
Absolutely : just look how clean it is. I thought it might be photoshopped at first but the light and shadows look right.
Of course the BBC are happy to show it.
No doubt TIME magazine will have it on the front cover. They have no morals either about using fake pictures when they suit the agenda.

Would you like opinions with that? No? Well, here they are anyway!
Big corporations may not have planned the pandemic, that’s just a whacky way out there conspiracy theory, but our big corporates have certainly taken advantage of the panic to move forward with some developments the public might otherwise have questioned.
‘Pandemic shuts down 500 bank branches‘ the Telegraph reveals. As so often one has to qualify the headline to correctly read: 500 bank branches close during lockdown. Afterall, the banks haven’t suffered 500 branches worth of staff suddenly died of the plague.
Banks have for some time now wanted to cut staff costs and to push customers toward online banking. They already had the technology and this has been a golden opportunity to advance the process. The loss of so many reasonably well paid jobs and the elimination of the community hub that a bank counter service once provided to a locality are just so much collateral damage and one would be classed as a luddite were one to protest, right? These sort of externalities of business activity don’t bother us in the way that we would be bothered by – for instance – plastic waste?
‘New freedoms come with a health warning‘ warns the ‘i’ newspaper. We’re no fan of the lefty-liberal ‘i’ which claims to be free-thinking but invariably follows a BBC/Guardian-flavoured world view. However, we do like this headline. It nicely catches the mood of the day.
It may be that even our lockdown enthusiasts have got just about to the end of most of the public’s patience. But that silent majority that went quietly along with it all, that perhaps half-heartedly clapped along with all the nonsense (so to speak) they will now perhaps gradually begin to only slowly realise the damage that has been done to their lives and their society.
The Telegraph, tellingly, offers: ‘Your guide to flourishing in a post-lockdown world‘ – obviously we won’t really be back to normal if we should require such a guide to the new normal. Surely our memories for normality are not that short that we need reminding? What are we, lockdown goldfish? I’m feeling more like a hamster on a lockdown mini treadmill. No, this will be a guide not to the former normal but to the new normal.
‘Britain opens up – but experts warn public to stick to meeting outdoors‘ (Guardian) – see what I mean?
‘Don’t blow it, Britain. As big reopening starts, PM calls for “heavy dose of caution”‘ (Daily Mail) – Labour, the Guardian and the BBC can forget putting their oppositional hopes in that covid inquiry of theirs. Dontcha hear that? If things go awry Boris said it’s all our fault.
The Guardian panders to its artsy audience: ‘Get back! The best things to see as the arts return’ – judging by the pics accompanying this feature that’ll be Auguste Rodin’s rather miserablist Thinker juxtaposed with some young woman in a wheelchair celebrating with balloons.
The irreverent Daily Star provides a refreshing riposte: ‘Culture vulture Brits go mad for the theatre & even art galleries, innit! We love talking Pollocks‘ – a jokey reference there to the vintage modern art charleton Jackson Pollock.
It’s hardly news to devotees hereabouts to hear the BBC has given up on the pretence of impartiality.
‘Marr: I want to speak my mind on politics‘ (Telegraph) – well, you could have knocked me down with a proverbial feather.
Worth quoting this one beyond the headline methinks…
‘Andrew Marr has voiced his frustration over BBC impartiality rules that prevent him from speaking his mind about politics. The broadcaster, 61, predicted that the coming decade would be even more “turbulant”‘ – I sense that Andy the old Trotskyite still thinks the Revolution is just around the corner.
‘Asked at an appearance at a book festival…‘ – promoting his own book or a nice off-the-books appearance gig, we wonder? Nice work if you can get it. Up the workers!
‘… whether he ever felt “a desperate urge to come out of the closet” over his political views. Marr replied “Yes, absolutely”‘
Andrew “Red Andy” Marr’s lefty politics, mind you, being among the worst kept secrets on planet W1A.
A decades long career in supposedly impartial BBC news and current affairs and all along he objected to the house rule – the basic premise of non-bias. It’s a bit like an NHS medic admitting to wanting to be a serial killer – if only the rules would allow it. Harold Shipman.
Nick Timothy is meanwhile fighting a losing battle in the Telegraph: ‘It’s time we kicked politics out of football‘ – that shipman has sailed. Or, should I say, that ball game has already kicked off.
AsISeeIt
Only certain types of “politics” gets kicked out.
If the French navy can prevent “some” illegals cross the Channel why can’t the Royal Navy stop all of them?
IMHO there is secret collusion at work in our present liberal government.
Why do the RNLI’s life boats go out and bring them in and not return them from whence they came ?
Why on earth are we – the tax payer funding the French to dump their rubbish here ? The same taxpayers that voted to leave the EU to stop the mass invasion of Great Britain. This government does not represent the people that voted them in .

Gaza’s ‘deadliest day’ so far
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has entered its second week with Israeli warplanes earlier launching air strikes on several areas of Gaza City, shortly after Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at southern Israel. It comes as Palestinian officials in Gaza said Sunday was the deadliest day since the current fighting with Israel began. United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres pleaded for an immediate end to the “utterly appalling” violence. And warned that further fighting could plunge the region into an “uncontainable crisis”. The UN has warned of fuel shortages in Gaza which could lead to hospitals and other facilities losing power. Lynn Hastings, UN deputy special co-ordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told us she had appealed to Israeli authorities to allow it to bring in fuel and supplies but was told it was not safe.
***
What Gazan officials say being gospel.
Several lightly breathing shrouds being art directed as we speak.
The media notion of an armed conflict is bizarre.
They reckon that they should be allowed to stand immune on top of a side firing weaponry, and the target of this weaponry should allow safe passage of essential logistical supplies to the war machine.

Now compare the above with our Jewish community.
Live in peace here for years getting on with life and respecting the laws of the land and asking nothing in return.
In France there is an exodus of Jews to Israel caused by Muslim immigration and the trouble it brings with them.
This could happen here and it would be to the detriment to the UK.
As the Muslim population increases so do their demands. What was witnessed yesterday is the tip of an iceberg. Remember ” first they came for the Jews”.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – whoaa there!
Free advertising from the Corporation that is not meant, not allowed, to do advertising? what is this then: https://www.bbc.co.uk/ (Middle of the Home Page – banner width, under heading ‘Pressure Point’ and featuring in soft focus a young blonde wimmin.)
Better be quick to take a look because I would not be surprised if it gets taken down pronto. Especially if someone at the BBC scans this web-site. The BBC are getting blatant in their ‘news’ manipulation.
Springster needs to up her game.
Jon Snow and June Sarpong self isolating?
They appeared to feel awfully empowered though.
And looked just like those at a nearby rally waving flags being addressed by a senile anti semite beloved of Momentum and the BBC.

lol, The Chinese Mars landing reminds me of the Borat films where they make out it’s real but the camera switches to and from the shoulder view of each person speaking so it’s obviously 100% acting.
I can only think they know 80% of the world is too stupid to realise it’s fake.
Absolutely no chance of them being charged and named today …
Anyway – last night I put up a piece from the DT about a BBC comrade called Andrew Marr admitting it is becoming harder and harder to keep his personal politics out of the BBC ( that’s the bit where you laugh ) – so I thought I’d go look at the ‘comments ‘ on the DT in response to the piece .
There arnt any comments allowed .
This accords with Fedup2 s laws – the more ‘controversial ‘ a subject is – the less the media will allow comments ….
Anyone who still suffers to watch Marr will know he is a far left woke SNP EU supporter without the need for him to declare it .
If you want to hire mr Marr to speak – you can hire him via Chartwell Speakers – more selective than the largest speaker agency JLA …£25 k a gig – nice work …
I might have assumed Andy M is a Conservative and going over the top to appear as a Labour supporter to hide his true allegiance. Doesn’t sound very credible, does it?

Why confuse people?
You haven’t ’embedded’ an image at all, you have just posted an edited link to the Twitter image.
An embedded image is coded into the web page that displays that image, something that is often done in emails so that all the information is delivered in one package.
Most web pages use links to images, (the address of the image file), even when the page and its images are hosted on the same server.
Sorry @JimS , yes I have very much embedded the image

Are you not seeing the image ? like is your system different …Apple or something ?
It was not just a case of me just posting a link
The actual image shows up in my post
whereas in @Thoughtful’s original he only posted a link to the Twitter image
and then to actually see the image, you have to click that link and image opens up alone on a fresh page.
I’m not saying a did a great technical step
all I did was click the Add Image button, and change the suffix to “small”
Kevin Fitzpatrick is @kevfitz21 based in Oldham
BBC reporter in the North West covering politics for @BBCRadiomanc and @BBCNWT
he Joined Twitter in October 2010
@JimfromOldham is Jim McMahon
.. became Shadow Transport Secretary in Jan 2020
That letter was published by Raja Miah in Jan 2020
Twitter thread where Fitzpatrick responds
He says ‘I did do a programme about grooming’
Actually the prog was in Feb 2014
That letter is dated August 2013
So he did sit on it for 6 months.
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-864067621/bbc-shisha-bars-investigation-from-feb-2014
What jumps off the page is just how deferential the BBC ‘journalist’ is towards the councillor, and how willing to hold the story on the grounds a) that knowledge about the activities at the (shisha) clubs was ‘very limited’ and b) out of concern over ‘tensions’ within the community ahead of murdered Lee Rigby’s funeral.
‘Community tensions’ is the dishonest and cowardly excuse used everywhere for not properly investigating mostly muslim child grooming gangs.
As for a), in fact knowledge was not limited at all, as is revealed in this report:
“There was no doubt of what had taken place or the severity of this. Yet here we have Jim McMahon appearing to have put pressure on a BBC journalist not to run with the story claiming that knowledge was ‘very limited’.
‘Despite contacts in the Asian community confirming to me [Kevin Fitzpatrick] that there was concern about young people going into these clubs…we agreed not to broadcast anything after YOU told us that knowledge about the activities at these clubs was very limited and you were concerned about tensions in the town ahead of Lee Rigby’s funeral.’
It would not be the first time that what a Politician claims has ZERO resemblance to reality. This dossier of evidence clearly shows Oldham Council, including its then Leader, Jim McMahon, was fully aware that our children were being lured, piled with drink and drugs, blackmailed and sexually assaulted in a network of shisha bars operating in Oldham town centre. From an analysis of emails leaked to me prior to this date that Jim McMahon and Oldham Council had written and/or received, the ‘very limited’ knowledge that Oldham Council included
• these shisha bars advertise on Facebook. Targeting young people, especially young girls, they attempt to lure them in and are promoted as for hire for ‘fresher’ type functions
• these premises are not open to the public with locked doors and windows covered
• they are ‘private clubs’ where rooms are available to rent by the hour
• the local college being briefed of the safeguarding concern
• aware that a concerned father and brother storming the premises to remove the daughter
• GMP receiving intelligence that an Asian heritage girl was being blackmailed into giving oral sex at one of these venues
• Inspector Haydn Roberts had already written to the local MP, Michael Meacher to make him aware of this ‘emerging safeguarding risk’.
• there is intelligence to suggest that young people who access these venues are vulnerable to child sexual exploitation
• this is evidenced by reports of a girl being blackmailed into giving oral sex as the offenders had photographed her in compromising positions
• adult males who control or attend the premises have received MULTIPLE abduction warnings to protect individual children
• children are invited and after being plied with drink and drugs are then exploited
• there are multiple premises operating in Oldham under such circumstances
• the Police Chief Inspector’s concerns around risks around CSE to be, in his own words, ‘MASSIVE’.
This is just some of the evidence. I think that it makes a mockery of Jim McMahon’s use of the term of having ‘very limited knowledge’.
When Jim McMahon and Oldham Council were made aware of these ‘private clubs’ (in the right and proper ways), instead of informing parents to be vigilant and inform their children, Jim McMahon in this exchange with a BBC reporter in addition to his ‘limited knowledge’ even attempted to keep this story out of the news because of ‘Lee Rigby’s funeral.’ ”

@Vlad Thoughtful’s image showing the BBC reporter cooperating with the Oldham Council head in 2013
seems to come out of work by Raja Miah so I expect that he’s sometime done a YouTube video about it.
I just checked Raja’s Twitter
and he has been the victim of a recent smearjob of the Sunday Times backed as ever by the Labour frontgroup the HateyNoHopers
When he replies under their tweet and says that the report is full of specific lies ..they chose to ignore him.
At minute 26 of his new video Raja references Jim McMahon still attacking Raja on Twitter Rumble video (Raja’s YouTube channel is still open as well)
Back to the letter, Raja has a webpage where he talks about the letter
scroll a few screens down

There are bad rabbit holes
and there are good rabbit holes
Now I see that that the author of the SundayTimes/HnH hitpiece against Raja
HannahAlOthman is former @UKLabour Press Officer working for some Labour MPs
according to Raja
The journo loses in the BTL below the line comments
Not many people there cos it’s a local article
maybe about 130
but Pro-raja comments get 100 likes
whereas ones that look like they come from a Labour PR office get 30 likes
Many say the Labour candidate was “contacting employers of residents with allegations about them being Far Right”
I’ve noticed before that Rip Off Britain on the BBC, the show designed to provide pensions to elderly ex Beeboid ladies seems to have a resident panellist from Which Magazine. This morning they added a second Which spokesman to talk about holidays or some such crap. I am wondering if this marriage between the BBC and Which is some sort of under the radar “advertising” deal between them.
quote “As a not-for-profit charitable organisation, all the money made from subscription goes straight back into Which? to continue to provide unbiased advice to consumers”
An Ex CEO of Which is a partner author of a book called
The War Against The BBC .
I hope to return to a critique of it soon .
9am Marr was about business mistakes
– Daniel Kahneman – created nudge now talks about noisy’ human judgement.
He found judgement of different executives varies so much.
eg judges sentences vary much more than you expect.
At meetings you get false info, cos of the pressure to conform.
– Gillian Tett – Now editor of the FT she predicted the 2008 crash , says due to her background as anthropologist
– Ann Cairns – the first female engineer qualified to work offshore, not chairman of Mastercard.
=========
Each week Marr’s show features people with new books to plug.
Here finding more women than men.
but today there doesn’t seem to be a race angle.
Tho I suppose Kahneman is Jewish. (he grew up in Nazi occupied France)
Net inward migration to the UK for the year April 2019 – end March 2020 was an astonishing 715 000 ! Most of these people came from India most of this period was under the premiership of the bottler, and depite his lies to reduce migration it has increased.
That’ll be to balance the “Long working hours killing 745,000 people a year, study finds” (do the maths – doesn’t compute).

I’ve often wondered why Sky News Aus is so much more right-leaning than our own Sky News, which is indistinguishable from the BBC and every other broadcaster.
Both started by Murdoch
SkyNewsUK was sold to US giant Comcast a couple of years ago
“Commiecast”: leans left
However SkyNewsAus first had rightie columnist Andrew Bolt 10 years ago
..and found rightie is popular
It hoovered up the righties that were dropped by the ABC etc.
I was a customer of Comcast for several years when they had a monopoly on Cable TV and Innerweb services when I lived in suburban Maryland.
Comcr*p also owns the US network NBC and Universal Studios. They are the largest cable TV provider in the US.
To Comcr*p, the term ‘customer service’ is an oxymoron. They make Ryanair look like white gloved silver service.
The link doesn’t work for me.
Shayan on the serious stuff.
A few dodgy ‘sites’?
“…Gaza, one of the most densely populated places in the world..”
Not really. It’s not even close, certainly not in the top 100. The population density is about 13,700 people per square mile. Compare with Manila (1st position, at 107,000 per sqm), Bombay (4th, 83,000 per sqm) or Cairo (66th, 41,000 per sqm). Just third world cities that are packed? No. How about Union City in the USA (37th, 52,000 per sqm)? Or Paris (31st, 53,000 per sqm)? In fact, 18 of the 67 most densely populated areas are in France.

Answer – those cunning israelis use blurry missiles to hit blurry islamic terrorist targets …
The Independent:
Rabbi attacked outside his synagogue in Essex
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/rabbi-synagogue-chigwell-attack-rafi-goodwin-b1848627.html
First line of article…
“Essex Police do not believe incident connected to pro-Palestine protests”
Then on to….
“Police are searching for two teenagers who violently attacked a rabbi outside his synagogue in Essex on Sunday.
Rabbi Rafi Goodwin was driving away from his place of worship in Chigwell around 1.15pm when two young men stepped out in front of his car and began shouting anti-Jewish abuse at him.”
Of course it was not stirred up by the constant wall-to-wall attacks on Israel across the UK Lefty media…. Nothing to see here sort of thing really!
A BBC site search for “rabbi attack in essex” returns zilch….
Lower than a snakes belly as it were.
“Jewish News understands the rabbi was not targeted as a Jew or a rabbi
and that there was no indication of motivation linked to the Middle East
– but that it was sparked by a road rage incident.
Nevertheless, it’s understood antisemitic language was used as he was attacked.”
Its source is an email sent to his community members
https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/chigwell-rabbi-hospitalised-after-brutal-assault-in-essex/
Those teenagers, eh?
Digg
I live in the catchment area for the local paper – the Waltham Forest Guardian – it describes the attackers as ‘Asian ‘ – and they stole the rabbis ‘ phone – which I guess makes it a robbery . Let’s hope they are dumb enough to keep the phone …
“The two boys – believed to be aged between 15 and 18
..
Detectives have described them as of Asian ethnicity, one was 5ft 9ins tall and wore his hair in an Afro-style and the other was described as being 5ft 7ins tall.
Both wore black jackets and the latter wore grey tracksuit bottoms.”

Judging by the FA Cup final, maybe they should be looking for local footballers.
11am news “Greenpeace says”
..re plastic waste sent to Turkey, and apparently dumped.
11am R4 show : hard done by British-Pakistanis
..Returning from Pakistan, they rushed to meet the quarantine deadline, but their flights got screwed up
so by the time they arrived they were in the quarantine hotel programme.
BBC sent him a recorder
Hotel “clean and modern, but window has no street view only to courtyard … difficult to find spare security slot where a security man can accompany him so he can take a walk”
next coaches came with India then Indian relatives with huge bags of supplies…Indian food etc.”
The Pak guy complains about the food.. it’s getting mixed up, coming still part frozen etc.
He can’t get his walk cos security are too busy chasing runaways.
The Urdu guard says “who cares, when people run away it saves the hotel money”
Then he says maintenance staff aren’t wearing masks.
Home Office said the hotels held 27,000 people
but won’t give stats on how many ever tested positive
nor how many absconded.
(Both the Pak guy and BBC woman are from Bradford)
Sirkeer is producing an all new manifesto and will be touring it. No doubt the beeb will have ample opportunity to bring out the “Labour says” intro ad infinitum. I wonder if new new new Labour will drag out and find a use for the tablets of plastic so kindly provided by Ed Miliband. In these hard economic times all they would need is a marker pen.
Assuning Western Civilisation still exists in the next 30 years historians, will look back at these liberal times with utter bafflement. We have the current dominant ideology in the West which is one of celebrating diversity and caring deeply about our poor refugees from the Third World made we might add a Third World by its third-world inhabitants. More remarkable still is the liberal belief that when the First World imports the The Third World in their millions, the First Wiorld will stay the First World…
It hasn’t of course. It will gradually as we are seeing morph into a barbaric, violent, economically broken, crime ridden hellhole. Governments have tried to hush this up of course. Anyway folks whilst we continue to operate on the ideological basis that all cultures are equal and non-discrimination is a positive virtue, nothing will change. Are we perhaps finding oursleves in a situation worthy of a dysfunctional horror movie? These people themselves are not sick it is simply their way of life and their behaviour which have no place in a civilsed country.
What’s Twitter pushing at me today ? IDAHOBIT
Fair enough the law has for 40 years said sexual discrimination is wrong , do we need anything more in the UK ?

Few things give me more pleasure than seeing the far-woke devour each other in a frenzy of sanctimonious righteousness.
Like revolutionaries down the ages, who always end up butchering each other for not being quite revolutionary enough – whether in France, Russia, China or Cambodia.
Similarly you can never be quite woke enough for the lefty thought-police.
Hence the Trans-fascists turn on uber-feminists like Greer and Rowling for daring to claim that men can’t have babies, or some such unpardonable sin.
And so it is with immense schadenfreude that I bring you the latest example of woke cannibalism:
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face storm over deal with Procter & Gamble which sells ‘racist’ skin whitening cream”.
Yes, the achingly woke Sussexes are under fire from the even more achingly woke ‘anti-colourists’.
The headline says it all, but if anyone has the time to waste, here’s the link (not yet on the beeb, but give them time):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9582709/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-facing-storm-deal-firm-Procter-Gamble.html
And here’s the gorgeous black and white Meghan.
Very strange photo that, of the two of them, on the front of the Mail today. The baby bump has suddenly disappeared.
There is a possible explanation: it was an old PR photo from some time ago, before the Meghan (can’t bring myself to type Duchess) was expecting the second baby. It is a nice shot – at least they are both smiling
