    The BBC are at the forefront of a cultural revolution aimed at overthrowing Western civilisation, not through democratic means but through the gradually erosion of our Christian based society and its values. Paying the licence fee is akin to taking a subscription out for Pravda during the cold War.

    The BBC, The Guardian and The Independent are pushing a unified stance right now.

    1. The Muslim Taliban will be a tolerant and accommodating government in Afghanistan and we must stop thinking of them as the evil sub-human butchers they actually are so we can discuss the future and how we can bring them into the lovely Western fold.

    2. The UK is about to go into a siege of unparalleled proportions over goods supply because we upset the gestapo in the EU.

    Both total fairy tales and both dangerous lies.

    Plus it’s strange how the shortages crowed about so far seem to be all working class commodities such as beer, not heard a bleep about a shortage of for instance fine French wine or cheese. Odd ain’t it?

    They are just lying twats and I hate them with a passion!

    Once again, Jacinda and the BBC are baffled by the motivation of the latest jihadi in NZ.

    I don’t know where that particular nut-job got ‘radicalised’, but these girls in Pakistan are being taught how to behead critics of Islam… at school!

      There really is only one way for the West to fight this cancer in humanity and that is to deny these peoples any rights in the West, no travel, no residency, no aid, otherwise we will all pay for their evil. It might impact some innocents but that is the price of containing their utter evil and demented and twisted ideology.

      If we fail to do this we will end up paying with the blood and lives of our citizens and children as the US has already experienced but learned nothing!

      And we must do it while we still can. We have to understand that they are a cult determined to extinguish Western values.

      Western Governments need to wake up and smell the coffee, they hate us and will not stop trying to annihilate or subdue us.

        100% agree digg, I assume however that it is only the subscribers to BBC bias that can clearly see and understand the evil that is gathering its tentacles to enforce its political ideology over us, to encourage their communities to follow Sharia Law-the places seen of authority in the UK such as the Local Councils hitherto, we now see more and more of those that follow the teachings of Islam taking up positions in those councils. What, we must ask, is what our MP’s are preparing to do about this serious invasion? Nothing no doubt as if they did they would surely lose their seats-frankly I think most have lost them already. Waking up and smelling the coffee, we have been saying for years and still the powers that be refuse to acknowledge to take note of what is happening and is so doing very quickly. Another 5000 a year of people to come to the UK and yet we know nothing about them, other than their culture and ideology are light years away from ours. Terrorism in the UK and Europe will have an even greater force than before. It is said that the majority of assaults against women have and are being carried out by Afgahans. Oh yes our Government needs to wake up but when?

      This is why we see so little reporting on the BBC about Pakistan. The 1 MILLION of them living here would be outraged and the video shows us how they deal with that.

      I’ve noticed for a while now that the BBC reports are always about attacks ON muslim’s by someone else. I did a search for ‘BBC India Murder Religion’ and the top stories are:
      ‘Jai Shri Ram: The Hindu chant that became a murder cry’ (Muslim victim)
      ‘India Assam mob kills two Muslim men over ‘cow theft”
      ‘Beaten and humiliated by Hindu mobs for being a Muslim in India’
      The BBC seem to report very few Muslim attacks, particularly in Pakistan. I had to search a bit to find this:
      ‘Peshawar bombing: At least seven dead in Pakistan school attack’.
      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54701753
      No use of the word Muslim at all in this one. Nor the word terrorist. Only ‘Islamist’ gives us a clue and it was used only once.
      I had to remove ‘BBC’ from the search to find this:
      ‘The beheading of a diplomat’s daughter shows how badly Pakistan is failing its women’ from only last month – and guess what: the BBC have not even reported it.

      Why do they do it ?. Why do the BBC go so far to protect Muslim’s ?.

      I am now of the opinion that the BBC are basically self-proclaimed ‘elites’ who loath the intellectually inferior white ‘untermensch’ masses as a means to reinforce and confirm their own superiority. They use BAME as a weapon to do it. They really are modern-day Nazis.

      It’s all part of the ‘intellectual Left’ mindset which has trouble coping with the practicalities of the real world. Which is why so many of them can’t even change the wheel on their car.

        The persecution of Christians across the Muslim world is massively under reported . There is censorship by omission on a huge scale. As you rightly say the BBC and most of the rest of the MSM go out of their way to protect Muslims. Equally take up the cause of other protected groups and without exception take the side of these groups against ordinary white folks.
        I think that the leaders of these liberal elites are guilt ridden at their own comfortable life style and because they control the media , the arts etc they are able to manipulate many followers who follow the fashion leaders and are blind to where this is leading the society they and we are part of. By the time the fools wake up it will be too late , if it already isn’t.

    Tragic though it is, the lead story on the news channels has concentrated on the early death of a member of a girl group that I struggle to know little about. Just another indication as to the age of those dictating what ‘news’ is considered important enough to grace the air waves. I cant imagine Reginald Bosenquet (when sober) or Macdonald Hobley (Google him) reading the death of a pop star as a lead story.

    I see the BBC – and the MSM in general – are avoiding any stories about Joe Biden at the moment – including anything about how his approval rating has plummeted.

    How fortunate for him.

    And I have to say just how utterly useless the BBC ‘search’ is. If I search for ‘Biden’ I expect the latest news first. Instead I get an episode of Panorama from November 2020. It seems to be completely random. No doubt the person in charge ticks all the top 10 boxes. Actual ability to do the job is box 11.

      I’ve just been through the awful website, and tried to get a ‘Biden’ story, but there’s only some babble from three or four days ago, with a sub-headline denouncing President Trump of course!

      It should be fair for all normal citizens to know from their ‘most trusted broadcaster’, how the old boy is mental-wise, has he actually done anything recently, and how is he now going to help the US recover from his disastrous decisions.

      We also deserve to find out when Kamala is taking over, because this will affect so many foreign investors etc.!

        He’s written a book about the election and Trump so I went to check the rating. To my complete surprise it got something like 4 or 5 stars. So I read the inidividual reviews. Then I realised : it got full marks because only the most Left of people read it. One reviewer even said it was a shame that Sopel was so unbiased, he tried to give Trump some credit for something when he actually should have not given him any at all.

    Afghanistan: The ‘undefeated’ Panjshir Valley – an hour from Kabul
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58329527

    “The Red Army, with its might, was unable to defeat us… And the Taliban also 25 years ago… they tried to take over the valley and they failed, they faced a crushing defeat,” Ali Nazary, the NRF’s head of foreign relations, told the BBC.

    Then the BBC along with the other left-wing media lied, distorted and applied disgraceful double-standards to influence the election in order to get their ideological opposite – Donald Trump – out of office.

    Now the person they replaced him with has destroyed all of that history almost overnight with a display of breathtaking incompetence and arrogance by handing the Taliban $85,000,000,000 worth of the latest military equipment. Which they are using to systematically wipe them out.

    Where is your shame BBC ?.

      It’s very easy to blame the man in charge and overlook the other failings out of the same political bias the BBC displayed, yet however ever bad Biden is, he was not the man on the ground making decisions as to how the withdrawal should be conducted.

      A lot of problems go back to Obama, the ludicrous focus on ‘diversity’ which has left the US military incapable of being an effective fighting force. Donald Trump called the senior military officers into the oval office and told them “you’re all losers, you don’t know how to win a war any more”. The arrogant sods instead of reflecting on the assessment decided to turn on Trump in an astonishing act of insubordination against their commander in chief, and they are still doing it under Biden.

      The leaking of tapes of Biden discussing ‘progress’ and assessments of the Taleban was an act of betrayal and actually a criminal illegal act, making it impossible for the commander in chief to have confidence his private discussions with officers in the field would remain private.

      They’re not happy either that perpetual never ending war appears to be coming to an end.

      Like so many institutions in the US oversight and control has been lost to arrogant stupid men who look to their own self interest instead of service to the nation.

      It’s not just Biden although his input is certainly appalling, it’s entire party and the infrastructure of state in the USA which is no longer under central control.

      “are you saying the outcome would have been the same under Trump?”

      What an incredibly difficult question that is.

      Trump had agreed to withdraw on 1st May, clearly the US military was acting in defiance of the commander in chief and had no intention of withdrawing from Afghanistan at all!
      The actively did not prepare to withdraw, and thought that they could use that refusal to kick the can down the road even further.

      If Trump had insisted on a 1st May withdrawal then who knows what might have happened. No doubt the military would have been briefing against him for their own deliberate engineered failings, but the Taleban would not have had the time to assemble and invade as they did when Biden gave the Military leaders a further 6 months to organise the withdrawal which they seem to have actively opposed.

      I think Trump would have almost certainly called those Senior military personel to account, maybe even court marshalls for the worst offenders, but it’s not just the military which have now decided they are not under state control, it’s several other US departments of state as well, and it is affecting both sides of the political debate.

      This didn’t happen under Bush, it happened under Obama so therefore there cannot be any examination let alone criticism. Don’t forget that the rise of Donald Trump stems directly from the rank failures of Obamas time as President, the failures of which have never been reported by a fawning media which simply cannot contemplate he did anything wrong.

        I cannot believe that Labour can be so dismissive of any attempt to fund social care – which i think should be absorbed into the bloated NHS budget

          Fed, maybe you can remember as well but many years ago – 50? 60? – elderly care, once a person could no longer live independently, was handled by the NHS. I remember being taken as a child to visit elderly relatives and friends in NHS wards full of elderly people. Local Authorities and charities also ran care homes outside the NHS’s responsibility.

          But then Civil Servants – them again! – came up with plans to merge hospitals and reduce the number of beds in hospitals (despite an increasing population) to the point where the NHS cannot cope with anything anymore and Governments of various colours foolishly agreed to their proposals.

          Maybe before we deal with Social Care reform we need to deal with the Civil Service?

              The only way the Civil Service could be reformed is by the top ‘serpents’ being directly accountable to the people. At present nobody seems to be accountable for anything across the board. In theory the MPs should be, but we know they just follow the bad ‘advice’ they are given, or are too scared (of e.g. the MSM) to do anything. Additionally, the justice system, being part of the same ‘blob’, is screwed up and jammed up – unless you are one of the wealthy. You are right to say nothing will change, and certainly if we all keep voting the same way. We do need a ‘reset’ – but not of the WEF/Schwab variety.

            The elderly you are describing weren’t simply unable to look after themselves, they were in need of nursing care and there were home helps meals on Wheels WRVS etc who would help the elderly remain in their homes as long as possible.

              When I worked in elderly mental health at our local hospital, there were numerous occasions when families would turn up at A & E, usually late at night, with a distressed and confused elderly relative. This was generally because a GP wouldn’t attend, so the family had little recourse but to come to A & E. However, it was also true that some families wanted a ‘quiet’ Christmas or had a planned holiday and would offload Granny.

              The Psychiatric Consultant I worked for did call it ‘granny dumping’, and so she/he would be admitted for care and treatment.

    As the fleet crosses the Indian Ocean, the political situation in France becomes more charged. At a press conference about the crisis, a French official who offers a speech in praise of the refugees is confronted by a journalist who claims he is merely trying to “feed the invaders” and demands to know if France will “have the courage to stand up to” the migrants when they reach France. The official decries this question as morally offensive and threatens to throw the journalist out when he continues to yell. Other journalists seek to inflame tensions between the French and Africans and Arabs already living in the country. Over time, these journalists begin to write that the migrant fleet is on a mission to “enrich, cleanse and redeem the Capitalist West”. At the same time as the fleet is praised by those in Paris, the people of Southern France, terrified of the migrants’ arrival, flee to the north.

    BBCTV local news
    “Castle Hill Hospital has been given permission for 11,000 solar panels …” accompanied by the PR photo

    I wonder how many times they are going to report the story
    Sept 3rd they added the story to the BBC solar news page
    and the original May 25th story is also there
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c302m85q132t/solar-power

    I guess it is new new news that the local council has given planning permission
    but the BBC page doesn’t say that
    And anyway today’s Monday yet the hospital’s Facebook page had the news first thing on Friday morning
    \\ East Riding Council has approved plans for a solar panel field ..
    Known as “ground mounted solar photovoltaic array”//
    So that means it’s physical farmland taken out of production and us importing more food.

      Stew, I always felt when New/Old Labour was getting going on the windmill & solar panel thing that the place to put them was not despoiling the countryside or seas but on top of retail parks and industrial sites and yes, hospitals and schools, too.

    A whole bunch of highly regarded scientists have cast serious doubt over the climate change myth pointing instead to normal activity of the Sun… Every MSM media including the BBC buries the story.

    Macron wants a super army of EU stormtroopers… now where have we seen that before?

    The mad Duke in the States is now focussing on the paralympians cause with Ursula von der Leyen realising that his other efforts have backfired.

    Australian nutter bigwig tries to push a plan to withhold healthcare for citizens who refuse the jab.

      The Battle of Vienna[a] took place at Kahlenberg Mountain near Vienna on 11 September 1683[1] after the imperial city had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought by the Holy Roman Empire led by the Habsburg Monarchy and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, both under the command of King John III Sobieski, against the Ottomans and their vassal and tributary states. The battle marked the first time the Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans, and it is often seen as a turning point in history, after which “the Ottoman Turks ceased to be a menace to the Christian world”.[18][Note 3] In the ensuing war that lasted until 1699, the Ottomans lost almost all of Hungary to the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I.[18]

      “Now the company leading the review — Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based cybersecurity firm with no prior experience in elections, and that’s led by a CEO who’s embraced conspiracies of election fraud — is preparing a final report on its findings.”

    The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them.

    FOI for last 2 years
    : 105 complaints were rejected
    : 16 were withdrawn.
    : 33 were upheld or partly upheld
    : yet only 1 perpetrator was dismissed.

    This breaks the zero tolerance rule
    “where people feel able to raise concerns and have confidence that they will be dealt with appropriately”.

    Paul Siegert, broadcasting organiser at the National Union of Journalists,
    said: “Many of those accused are managers and the BBC are scared to dismiss them because they are worried about the negative publicity.
    Often those guilty leave quietly with a payoff, a wholly unacceptable way of cracking down on inappropriate behaviour.”

    The BBC should be ambitious about resolving cases quickly, but they can be complex and need to be investigated with rigour and care.”

      And now a plethora of books on display at the counter and other prominent positions by blacks telling white people they are racist. I do enjoy hiding these as a I browse.

    Top two stories on the Mail online, of course no connnection whatsoever:

    Migrant crossings hit RECORD high: ‘At least 1,000’ have tried to cross Channel to UK today surpassing previous record of 828 in August

    ‘ Girl, 15, who was raped in the sea in front of thousands of holidaymakers speaks about horrific ordeal for the first time as she says she now can’t face going out

    Dorset Police released e-fit of Asian suspect by name of ‘Dabby’, who is 5ft to 5ft 7ins tall, of muscular build with short dark hair and a part-shaven eyebrow

    (no surprise there, whatsover, except that they have released a description)

    Nothing on the bbc front page, of course, but they tell us what we “MUST SEE” , (capitals my own)

    Black interns: ‘You just need to give us a chance’

      They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators. {Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham – 1997 – 2013 – Jay OBE –pdf}

    The politicians are back in the commons today – which sounded more like it represented Afgee than the UK – I could only take 15 minutes of this outwoking – and wanting to do more and more with our money for their self esteem .

    We did our bit with Afgee – now it should be forgotten – and our borders controlled ….

    I know it was mentioned higher up this page that David Willetts was on Today this morning. I switched on to hear him say that grandparents on a pension of £40,000 a year wouldn’t want their 20 something grandchild paying increased national insurance contributions to pay for their grandparents” care.

    In the world of the BBC, the NHS, the civil service and schools, a £40,000 pension is commonplace. Those pensions are paid for out of taxation. But for those having to save for a pension, with interest rates as they are and a raid on pensions by Gordon Brown, a £40,000 pension is hard to achieve.

    I might add that I still see part time government workers wanting to go full time for the last two years before retirement to maximise their pension. This is a pension where in any other sector, their pension would be lower. Most of the schools around me have large pension deficits showing in their accounts. The advice from the accountants is not to worry about it, because it is a government backed scheme and so will not be allowed to fail.

      In what world is anyone on a £40,000 a year pension ?? I do remember 15 % interest rate on our mortgage that nearly crippled us and we nearly lost our home.This meant our sons ate but we scrimped on our food. We had everything second hand but were grateful for what we were given. I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have to watch every penny and I really resent being told that we are the generation that ‘had it easy ‘!!!

    Deborah
    Willetts is the most repulsive of creatures – a real turn coat – from Good Right Wing Tory – to a Lefty – with no accountability sitting on his rear in the Lords .
    And the BBC gives him the oxygen of publicity .

    It amazes me – amazes – that people cannot accept that taxes must go up to pay for the money tree the government has been shaking for the last 18 months .- if it is not for Social Care – it will be for other things .
    Manifesto promises have always been worthless – and nut nut is about to prove it .

    After a 2 week lull the invasion is back on with @Traxxtra alone reporting 114 yesterday, and more today (total not yet known but sly news reporting 1000?) getting the full VIP treatment.
    Also today there have been a number of beach landings.
    It will be another record.

    It is clear that nobody with any authority cares one jot about our country.
    Traitors all.

      “We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

      “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

    Yet we can still import thousands upon thousands of unqualified desert dwellers and their broods of kids and give them houses and provide for all their needs.
    Pop over the the DHSS and tell them you have lost your job or at risk of losing your home and see how you get on…
