    I am watching coast on BBC 2. The Intro to the episode has a brief mention of Neil Oliver who basically built the program then introduces a dozy blonde woman not out of place in a advertorial for IKEA. to take up the reins. From that point on Oliver is never mentioned and does not appear. An absolutely disgusting political burial of the truth by the BBC and I guess only because of his current involvement with GB News.

    They are really despicable vindictive sub-humans.

    Update, they did show Oliver again going up in a jet but then killed that to return to the vapid BBC Blonde.

    Oliver would have made this article sing but is non-persona now.

      @Digg at 8-9pm you were watching Coast on BBC4
      Yet on Saturdays the Neil Oliver show is on GBnews 7-9pm
      tonight Laurence Fox was on

      Now it’s the Mark Dolan show and Neil is on the panel.

        I wish every luck to GBNews as they are the only voice against the appalling deluge of BBC lefty garbage. Early days but I really hope they keep the effort going. They need a way of letting the GB public support them in a way that would intensify their activity. Any ideas welcome.

          Nigel has been a great addition.
          I can just imagine the hate-filled Lefties screaming at the TV while they force themselves to watch hoping for something to complain about on twatter.
          But he never says anything they can use. Everything he says is just commoin sense. He’s driving them mad. That huge poster about his RNLI comments show just how desperate they are.
          He has a platform now after the BBC cynically and deliberately cancelled him from any stories. Just as they have cancelled GB news. It’s pathetic.

    Now we have a program with British plod investigating an epidemic of massive sheep stealing. So who could be doing this on an industrial scale and why?

    I personally don’t think we have to look much further than the rash of kebab shops exploding in every town in the country selling pretty much nothing but lamb.

    They don’t sell pork or beef so these appear to be unaffected.

    But then again I am just conjectoring.

    No doubt the wrong think police would like me silenced for suggesting this.

      The absolutely disgraceful sham enquiry into the Capitol riots and the treatment of the people who genuinely believed their democracy was being stolen is the closest thing I have seen in my life to modern day Nazis. Now we are witnessing the show-trials and minor misdemeanors like tresspass are being reported in the media like serious crimes. It’s ridiculous. They are STILL inferring that Sicknik was killed by protestors and none of them mention the unarmed woman who got shot.
      The flag went up for me when I discovered the democrats had SIX seperate committees trying to find ways to impeach Trump and not one major newspaper said anything about it.

        May I suggest you stop using the language of the Left and refrain from calling it a ‘riot’ when it was not.
        It was an act of trespass and it was trigger happy cops who shot people dead in cold blood who are the real criminals.

        There has been detention without trial for minor crimes which would not normally have been prodecuted, and reports of torture of those detained with one victim even losing an eye as a result.

    It seems this trick of showing us pictures of minorities along with something to pull your heartstrings in their direction is now an actual BBC strategy. It’s happened too often recently to be coincidence.
    It’s dirty, dishonest emotional blackmail. The ethics of the BBC have plummeted since Brexit as they have gradually pushed their line of what is acceptable further and further out.

            More Mail-dominated (see wot I did there?) Sunday BBC fun at ITBB from Craig (go there for more and link)…

            ***
            There’s an interesting story in the Mail on Sunday about the BBC collecting gender information from all of its 20,000 staff and facing a backlash over it from a ”furious” group of women at the Corporation, who ”fear that asking workers to identify whether they consider themselves to be male or female – rather than what sex they are – could distort gender pay gap figures”.

            They’ve even written to Tim Davie and June Sarpong to complain, saying that men could swap their gender to female. [Like NZ weightlifter Laurel Hubbard].

            Other bits from the piece say, ”Sources said that the staff are yet to be given a satisfactory response as to why the new rule has been implemented, so have now approached campaign group Sex Matters to fight their corner…..One BBC staffer described the correspondence with Mr Davie and Ms Sarpong as ‘Orwellian”’.

            https://www.dailymail.co.uk

            In the angry TERF wars between ‘gender critical’ feminists and the trans lobby, Sex Matters is very much in the old school feminist camp. The trans lobby at the BBC won’t be happy about their involvement.

            A BBC not-so-civil war might be beginning.

            When journos had to work for a living, any comment like “‘Nothing more to discuss’ is very BBC though.” meant there bloody well was something to discuss, and a real investigator would have got on his bike to find the truth.

            The BBC just let all this fritter through their pudgy fingers, and never really challenge what seems to be a rather nasty issue.

            Hopefully, The Mail will do a bit more digging, because the beeb certainly aren’t up to the job!

    The virus puts a cap on the Dutch right
    The Guardian doesn’t do word association
    Mitigating advocacy for the sister source

    This weekend the BBC’s opening note as overture to their online press line up is hardly an enticement to the cheerful of disposition:

    Newspaper headlines: Climate catastrophe warning, and winter flu tests

    One may as well open a vein – as the saying goes – rather appropriately, considering the ongoing mass vaccination campaign.

    The Observer takes top podium position in the BBC line up.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s not that I’m a full blown, card carrying, signed fan photo of Piers Corbyn, New World Order conspiracy theorist, it’s just that I can’t help but notice our media comport themselves just as though there was one and they were in on it.

    ‘We’re on the brink of catastrophy, warns Tory climate chief‘ – with delight and obvious relish so observes the Observer. A mere cursory recollection of the news will reassure us we’ve apparently been in a state of global pandemic since March 2020 and will likely remain on that new brink for evermore. One brink being much of a muchness with any other brink these days. I’m mulling over the word brink and can’t get out of my mind the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983. I digress. I’m inclined to tell the Tory climate chief: Look, we know you have to put our taxes up. I don’t like it but you guys broke the bank with lockdown. Apparently the public liked that. Now just get on with the inevitable raising of our taxes in the dozen climate change induced subtle little ways like we know you’re going to and stop with the catastrophy brinksmanship. We’ve heard it all before.

    It’s not all bad news, for some: ‘How Covid derailed the great hope of the Dutch far right‘ (Guardian) – sorry, I tell you I don’t believe “They” planned and engineered all this and then I go and take a genuine media quote and it sounds just as though “They” did.

    The Guardian doesn’t do irony or self-awareneness. Their Saturday frontpage presented the wonderful frontpage juxtaposition of a carping editorial knocking Tory ministers for decorating their offices with the union flag – and by the way the Gruan worked hard here as mitigating advocate for the sister source in the form of those BBC presenters who: ‘gently mocked‘ – meanwhile we had this polemic screed as caution against patriotism the last resort of the rogue set beside a celebratory photo of the all-black Team GB women’s Olympic relay squad drapped in no less than four union jacks. Kettle, pot, black, jack… word association perhaps not the Guardian’s sub-editorial strong suit.

    By the way, if I have to see one more pic of an Olympic sportsperson either kissing, or worse play-biting, one of those over-sized plastic medallions I think I may consider opening a vein.

    Dissident Pakistani exiles in UK “on hit list”‘ (Observer) – open borders do tend to allow the importation of the world’s problems: ‘Pakistani exiles in London who have criticised the country’s powerful military have been warned that their lives are in danger‘ – perhaps this goes some way to explain the notable difference in the BBC’s rather critical reportage of India as opposed to the noticable silence on the subject of their neighbour.

    One for our ancient Greek classicist PM here: ‘Greek fires. Amid the darkness wrought by nature gone awry, stories of valour emerged‘ (Observer) – is this the blurb from the back cover of a cheap abridged paperback edition of the Iliad and other Greek epics or perhaps the strap line for the latest Marvel Universe superhero movie – read in those growling deep cinema theatre trailer tones?

    He may be a classicist but the Observer is going after Boris’s class: ‘How public schools damaged our leaders. No authenticity, no empathy: the trouble with boarding schools

    Hmmm. Quick google shows the Guardian boasting their Sunday incarnation the Observer’s readership demographic to be no less than 56% social grade AB – oh dear. Nevermind, that nice Mr Tony Blair was also a public schoolboy, one of the good ones.

    Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this lawsuit which was filed in Canada and ended up being defended by the commonwealth, which needs to be spread as far and wide as possible as the death knell for any tyrannical governments trying to take our freedoms from us again or force us to take these genocidal injections. https://www.bitchute.com/video/cLczxeMBSNU6/

    Also, this channel not only gives great info about the jab but also about the psy-op currently taking place in the US. Anyone concerned about what Biden can do as president need to watch some of these videos, they’re full of red pills that you can’t unsee once you’ve watched them. The only problem is getting people to actually look at them, since some like Stew are just determined to stay indoctrinated despite knowing the media they’re watching is lying to them. https://www.brighteon.com/channels/LifeAndDeath

    The term ‘Biased’ in Biased BBC is actually giving them too much credit. They’re not biased, they’re deliberately lying. Case in point being the millions rallying in London every other Saturday which they’re ignoring or claiming to be a few hundred each time. Despite that, they’re letting little nuggets of truth slip that never would have a few years ago (e.g. allowing the uninterrupted debunking of all their lies about US police racism after the George Floyd trial), so I believe there’s been some infiltration now from the good side attempting to slowly deprogramme the sheep and get them mentally prepared for when the military finally makes its move against genocidal governments worldwide. In the interim, we need to stay educated and not give in to the temptation of thinking the corrupt MSM narrative has even a modicum of objective reality incorporated into it.

    Alok Sharma, described as ‘the Government’s Climate Fantasy Chief’, reckons that ‘The world is “dangerously close” to running out of time to stop a climate change catastrophe’. It’s a brave attempt at scare mongering, but he really should be paying attention. Prince Charles stated as far back as 2011 that we have “Just 96 months to save the world”. That’s right, we all expired towards the end of 2019:
    https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/just-96-months-to-save-world-says-prince-charles-1738049.html
    Of course, he was being hoplessly optimistic. In May 2014, the French Foreign Minister stated categorically that it was just 500 days left:
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/weekly-standard/planet-still-standing-500-days-after-french-foreign-minister-warned-of-climate-chaos
    But of course, the real expert – Gordon Brown – had a far more precise prediction of just 50 days. That’s 50 days from October 23rd 2011, BTW. Perhaps he should have stuck to raiding pension funds, selling off the gold reserves and calling working class voters ‘bigots’.

      I would be interested in Mr. Sharma’s studied breakdown of the timescale for his catastrophe, and itemise exactly what would happen to whom, and why, how much it would cost, what would happen to the economy, and what would result in the better policy of nobody doing anything. We already know the answer to that one. CO2 levels would continue to rise, as they need to, and the sun would continue to shine, albeit in a solar minimum sort of way.

      And we know the effect that solar minima have on the climate, from history, don’t we, Alok, you globetrotting hypocrite, you.

    As I’ve said before (a little tongue in cheek), it’s not heterosexual, atheist MEN like myself who need to worry about the coming Caliphate, it’s women (and those of the alphabet soup variety) who should really be concerned.

    Let’s be honest, if push comes to shove, I can sprout a bushy, salt and pepper beard in a matter of weeks, and I actually think some of those prayer caps are quite fetching (and would conceal the incipient bald patch nicely). Banging my head on the ground towards Mecca five times a day does sound like a bit of a bore, but would it be much worse than being expected to do the lion’s share of the housework, shopping, gardening etc… and constantly being told I’m to blame for EVERYTHING that is wrong with the world?

    Of course the missus wouldn’t like it too much, but hey, I could always trade her in for a newer, younger, and more complaint model, in fact, why not four of them? And if any of those get ideas above their station, well inshallah, there’s always a bottle of lighter fluid and a box of matches.

        Why do they all hate us by the way, it’s not as if most of us have anything particularly against any of them, is it just because we’re not in the sack with them, or is it really self loathing?

      ‘calms the traffic behind them’, am sure all those drivers stuck behind them, worrying about getting to work on time and not getting sacked will be really ‘calm’.

      ‘makes it less easy for bad drivers to attempt dangerous passes’, erm, let’s just say I’m trying to get to work on time, or I’m a delivery driver who has to meet a certain number of drops per day, and I’m stuck in a massive tailback behind these, watching the minutes ticking away. The longer it goes on the more I’m going to be tempted to try a ‘dangerous pass’, no?

      ‘it is more pleasant and sociable for them’, perhaps, but not for those left fuming in the massive tailback behind, what about ‘thinking about other road users’, ‘putting yourself in their shoes’, and ‘being courteous’?!

      This just sounds like a really, really stupid, and really dangerous suggestion to me, and I’m a cyclist myself, but then what do I know?

        So Vine blows out of the water everything I learned in cycling proficiency – circa 1960s, when single file is the only way to stay safe – and in the 60’s there were only sheep and Ford Anglia’s on the roads back then !

        So, according to his mantra, 4 abreast keeps traffic moving at a more relaxed speed. Ok, there’s a chap in the car doing a dash to the hospital with a heavily pregnant wife, or a child who is desperately sick – and they have to pootle along at 12 miles an hour while the lycra louts are having a chat, and then shout abuse at the driver trying to pass them. Crackers !

    Interesting news that the Biden administration in its massive anti White race hate based on nothing at all but prejudice has decided that ‘racism’ against Black Americans is the single biggest threat to American society.

    To that end and in pursuit of those goals the Democrat party in New York has decided to ban Black people from eating at restaurants there!

    This is of course not racist at all because there’s no such thing as ‘racism’ and because it’s only ‘racist’ when the left say it is!

    So how has this insanity come about? Bidens bunch of loonies have gone down the path the French have gone with vaccine passports and to ban access to several places unless in possesion of one.
    Vaccine uptake in the state of New York amongst Black people is just 30% meaning 70% of Blacks in the state are effectively going to be unable to access many things which they were previously able to.
    It gets worse though because the insane argument put forward by the Democrats for not improving voter security is that Black people cannot get access to ID documents and even being asked to show this ID is akin to a slave being asked to show their papers of freedom.
    How is asking for proof of vaccination any different to being asked for proof of ID once every couple of years at a polling station?

    The Democrats have been attacking Republican reps who have been anti Vax passports, but they are not attacking Black anti Vaxxers, they really are going to come unstuck on this one as the two policies are in direct opposition to each other.

    Of course there are no media report in the UK about this.

    David Pickard, director of the BBC Proms is striving for diversity in classical music, as reported in today’s Sunday Telegraph. He says ‘We have to grapple with the fact that not so many symphonic pieces were written by women in the 18th and 19th centuries and we’re trying to redress that balance by commissioning pieces along gender equal lines.’

    He continued, ‘Classical music has to confront its own history, just as other cultural forms have had to in the wake of campaigns for more diversity and acknowledgement of racism and discrimination. It’s terrible important that every piece of art is given a context’.

    I assume David Pickard and the BBC would be more comfortable with their music if Beethoven, Mozart etc. had been transgender.

    It would appear following several posts I have made concerning the UKs lack of generating capacity, the future of electric cars is in serious doubt, the point has been picked up by the Mail on Sunday confirming exactly what I had been saying. Our politicians appear to believe electric cars run on fairy dust and no powere generation is therefore needed, however there is a second even more unsurmountable problem facing the green nutters, the looming copper shortage.

    A conventional car contains about 9 – 25Kg of copper but an electric car contains close to 100Kg of copper, and there just isn’t enough of it to sustain car production.

    Just watch this 8 minute video from credible people and see just what kind of ridiculous crisis is being laid down by the Wests political elites who are cluless about everything and worse can’t be told either.

      A different take on the biased BBC element of this edition of Countryfile.

      You know how they like to expose Fake News.

      This episode featured the National Capital Laboratory which is ‘near Loch Ness’.

      And in the film is a glorious view of Buchaille Etive Mor, the mountain sentinel at the head of Glencoe. The film is shot from somewhere east of the Glencoe ski centre. Take my word for it.

      Which is over 60 miles, yes sixty miles, from Loch Ness!!

      Imagine the furore from the BBC if,say, the Torygraph had an article on London and featured Nelson’s flagship HMSVictory in …errr….Portsmouth. Or Newbury racecourse. Or Canterbury cathedral.

      Another BBC fake news classic.
