    Our BBC did her best to destroy Brexit –

    Our BBC did her best to weaponise Covid and destroy the Tories –

    Our BBC is doing her best with BLM to destroy society –

    What will be the next trick for our BBC?

    After all, democracy has failed her favourite party. What else is a girl to do? 🙁

    Heard it all now. Fatty Bolton on Sky has just asked “is cutting foreign aid racist ? ” – because “cutting aid affects those in countries that are non-white”. Words fail me.

      I bloody well hope it is ‘racist’ – that’s a BBC appreciation of the word, not mine!

      The people who infest the corridors of W1A get paid whatever huge sums for zilch; we here in the UK get meagre pensions and the occasional benefit (not the fat lazy feckers who never ever work), while the fat ugly despots in shitholes get handouts and keep most of the whole lot for themselves.

      Milliband take note, you arsehole.

      I don’t pay much tax these days, but still begrudge some fat bastard in a shite country, getting all my spare (?) dosh and spending it on his foibles, tarts, fat kids, useless flunkies, splendour and waste.

    BBC Online News:

    “Foreign aid: MPs to vote on cut to UK budget”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57815034

    Read and weep. A total BBC whitewash in favour of overseas aid, as if it all goes direct to the starving. The major benefactors of our aid are secret Swiss bank accounts. We used to directly supervise the distribution of aid, but Gordon Brown regarded that as being Imperialistic and stopped the practice. He didn’t think that through, did he?

    The UK provides twice as much of its gross income as a percentage than does woke Canada. Go on BBC, beat up woke Canada. You wouldn’t do that now, would you?

      Gordon Brown probably did think it through. That would be the same Gordon Brown who referred to one of his own supporters as ‘a bigoted woman’ because she was concerned at the level of uncontrolled immigration. Not a PM noted for his level headed consideration of the views of others. After all, it was his mission to save the world. in his own way, of course, which usually meant damaging this country with any luck.

    As usual, bbbc radio newcastle this morning continues its attack on the government by bringing all its right thinking scientists on, one after the other, to tell us all to wear face masks.
    They also bring on locals and Vox pops so long as they are the right ones who agree it’s best to be cautious etc.

    If we are allowed to hear the other side of the argument from the impartial bbbc it’s if they can find a Vox pop of someone who sounds either stupid or to the right of …. I was going to put Hitler but he was left wing…. but you all know what I mean.

    The only break from their agenda is when they are calling us all racist for not being in the George Floyd fan club.

    Driving to the DIY store I caught the BBC R4 episode of History of the World in 100 objects…

    Today it was Christian Orthodox icons. as related to the Ottoman wars against mainly the Muslim Turks.

    Oh how bad and deluded those Christian religious leaders were. They tried to rally and lie to their people with meaningless and fake iconography against the morally superior Muslim Ottomans.

    Summing up. The Ottoman Turks were upright people guided by their unshakeable belief in Islam whilst the Christians were a bunch of duped idiots following a cult religion that had no substance.

    Oh how very BBC!

    A great victory for the beeb then…

    Or to look at it another way, 20% of the population detests the BBC so much that they would rather watch the adverts than suffer Gary lineker during half-time…

    • Rich says:

      I think the majority who watched this, or any other of the few matches that the bBbc still cover, don’t suffer Lineker at all.

      They simply wait to turn the tv on just before kick-off, stretch their legs at half-time, and turn it off as soon as the final whistle blows, thus avoiding Lineker and all other “expert” bs as much as they can.

      Having watched it on the ITV Hub, I’m sure that the actual match commentary from the bBbc can’t have been any worse than theirs. Sam Matterface and Emma Hayes in particular are truly awful.

Africans, and of course Fergal had to get the story of one of them. I turned over at that point.

    Where in hell’s name do they get these figures from ? I’ve never been targeted in any research poll in my life ! and I suspect a good percentage, probably 90% never have either.

    Switched on to 6pm BBC1 news late. I gathered the Fish Woman is doing something different to Boris and was told there were digs at Boris’ plans ie Nicola’s are right and stricter and Boris’ were wrong. We had a black poet, but not Benjamin Z standing in front of the Marcus Rashford mural. Was he there by chance? Of course not, this is the BBC. He was saying the British only want to support black people when they are doing well. I am no football supporter and when I switched on for the last 20 minutes of the 90 and extra time I was watching 22 players of all colours mainly walking around a pitch. I saw the ups and downs of the penalties. I saw one English player kicking the ball which didn’t need a goalkeeper to save it as it was never going in, and one young lad taking the decider who apparently hasn’t taken a penalty before. Brave of him to offer but had I been the manager I might have said something like, ‘thanks for offering, but I need someone with more experience’. Had I been bothered whether England had won, I might have been a bit cross. I am with Priti on this one. Taking the knee at these matches was gesture politics and as Dan Wooten reminded us on GB News, BLM are a Marxist organisation that want to defund the police. But a footballer who I have never heard of moans and the BBC had to report his tweets as truth. I am jolly pleased they are not getting their Downing Street reception and I hope none of them are remembered in the Honours Lists. They lost, remember.

    I switched off, I could stand no moe.

      Shame Debs, if you had persevered you might have enjoyed the ‘Oh by the way’ news, tucked away at the end, that Boris won his attempt to save £4b off the ‘Aid (baksheesh) Bill’ and that seven MSPs have complained to the police about SNP finances and the involvement of Krankie’s husband – is that the term the Wee Wallace would use to describe him? – in the unaccounted £600k.

      Were you to live in the South West, you might also have enjoyed the in-depth coverage of footballing giant Tyrone Mings whose brave challenge on racism to our Pakistani Home Secretary – irony lost to the BBC – has been applauded throughout the region. Allegedly.

    Face off on Channel 4 between Red Ali Campbell and a Tory bloke.

    Of course nasty racist Tories was the agenda put by C4, focusing on Priti not liking the take the knee garbage on the footie field.

    Campbell trying to say this was just racist, the Tory bloke very clearly and rationally saying that the issue has nothing to do with not supporting BAME footballers but in fact NOT wanting the UK Government seen to be supporting and endorsing BLM, an organisation he described as dedicated to the overthrow of society, the family and the police and therefore no sane western Government could endorse it for one second.

    This went right over the head of the crazy Campbell guy who went straight into a rant about Brexit, Covid, vaccination, public services schools, hospitals etc. etc. etc ad nauseam. In fact typical Trotsky labour noise crap.

    I know which one came over as normal and rational and which didn’t and I know where my money is!

    And I suspect loads of others… Labour need to get rid of these gobbies if they ever want to make any headway with the British electorate.

    To me taking the knee today is the equivalent of the players raising an arm and waving a Swastika at a footie match in 1940.

      It is worth remembering, that Kier Starmer Labour leader after kneeling once distanced himself from the gesture and what it stands for.
      Given that even the Labour Left eschewed it surely everyone should realise just what an offensive gesture it is, and the reality that it is nothing but an anti White race hate gesture.

      No point anyone expecting the media to remind the people of that though, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone even mention Labours position on taking the knee.

    I’ve just heard so much bull that I’d be thinking of double topping myself if I am exposed to any more of this ‘coloured as victim ‘ crap .
    As for the the arras- I found that lager and darts never mixed …..

    Two Ronnies fans – ITV is presenting an affectionate look back at the life and career of Ronnie Corbett in The Two Ronnies: Ronnie Corbett’s Lost Tapes.
    Best remembered for his work alongside Ronnie Barker, Corbett died in 2016. The documentary airs July 14 at 9pm.

      Somewhere, somewhere in those Corbett tapes there will be a comment, an innuendo, a suggestion that the woke politburo will jump on and get Ronnie despatched to room 101. They really don’t do comedy. I have a 20 something uni stepson and I can vouch for the fact that I have never heard him laugh out loud.

      They are comically constipated by their education I’m afraid!

    ‘Coloured as victim’. A few years ago, the Deputy Commissioner of the Met was of Pakistani heritage. He took the Met to an industrial Tribunal for racism because he wasn’t the Commissioner.

    He lost. Could only happen in racist UK.

    University Challenge started its new season last night. It’s one of the few BBC offerings I still find mildly enjoyable despite the emphasis on questions about women and African and Asian civilisations (oh, and singers with a passion for prison reform, headed by the great Johnny Cash and Folsom Prison Blues). The teams did well on questions about Africa; not so well on questions about the Roman empire – decolonisation of the curriculum seems to be going modestly well….

      Skeldings, I too was pleased to see the start of the new season of University Challenge last night, and thought how unusual for there to be a programme on the BBC that I want to watch. Well I thought, this is one programme on the BBC that won’t be tainted by the BBC’s leftist poison. How wrong I was, for all the reasons you mention. I’ll give it a second chance next week, and then I suspect that will be yet another programme from that benighted organisation that will bite the dust as far as I’m concerned.

      Interesting article off to the side of that page which reports game 3 of the NBA finals has seen a viewership drop of nearly a third in just two years. Outkick claims the finals are now averaging just under 9 million viewers. In 2017 they pulled in over 20 million. That gets a LOL from me.

      How satisfying that the race baiting and anti-white rhetoric of LeBron James – one of America’s most visible and successful black men – has almost single-handedly killed the product which provided his vast wealth and fame.

    Marcus Rashford: Hundreds gather at mural for anti-racism demo
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-57824639

    Lots of BLM professionally printed identical banners. Compare that to the London anti lockdown protests where each protestor brings their own sign written on a scrap of cardboard.

    Perhap Marianna could investigate who is paying for the BLM signs.

    Been v busy today so late to the party.

    On Toady at about 0750 we had what amounted to a party political broadcast by the Marcus Rashford party.

    Uncritical, no questioning. A ‘statement by Marcus Rashford’ .

    Erudite, thoughtful. Intelligent. Not to my taste but the description can still hold.

    Just a couple of issues.
    1. When interviewed, mr Rashford is barely able to string a whole sentence together. The idea that he could havevwritten the statement is highly implausible in my humble opinion.
    2. Mr Rashford did not actually read the statement. It was read by someone like a spokesperson or possibly an actor.

    The whole thing is thus based on a totally false premise.
    But for the BBC, St Marcus is untouchable.

    Appalling.

      I had a look back at the penalty shoot-out which took place when England v Colombia ended 1-1 after extra time in the World Cup of 2018 (first k.o. round).

      Rashford took a penalty then and was successful. He was up against David Ospina of Arsenal and Colombia, who may well have been thoroughly prepared for penalties by any Premier League player representing England on that night.

      Rashford did the same “stuttering” indirect run up to the ball as in his recent penalty v Italy, trying to commit the goalkeeper; but, crucially hit it hard and accurately into the bottom left corner; whereas this time, he came to more of a halt and then rather scuffed the ball onto the outside of the post with the ‘keeper stranded … sadly opening the way to the eventual defeat.

      The other four missed penalties did owe quite a lot to good anticipation and saves by Donnarumma for Italy and Pickford for England.

      I felt that the BBC could have given a bit more “technical” analysis about the benefits and risks of Rashford’s style of penalty. The pundits said that anyone might miss and wanted to avoid singling out any one player (poor old Southgate was the only one of twelve to miss in England v Germany in Euro 1996!) but could have contrasted the Kane and Maguire hits (struck harder and higher) with the three subsequent misses (lower and thus more reachable).
