Parliament returns. How will the BBC cover the political reaction to the killing of one of their colleagues ? Or the threat to the safety of everyone by failing to control who gets into the UK ?

On the twitter GBNews excellent Colin Brazier draws attention to the sale of toys by Tesco during the GIFTING SEASON – for which mr brazier claims there was once another name …

It would be nice to think that when the Muslims and Africans gather around the stump of some derelict wind turbine, imagining it to be an artifact of some long forgotten religion of some long gone people, a couple of the smarter ones might exchange a few grunts to propose a ‘white history’ day.

what kind of Geneva convention do the muslim scum adhere to ? cutting off heads on camera ?

I worked for this comapany then it all went to crap and why :
20th century
Beginning in 1957, the company published a journal, Platinum Metals Review.[5]
In the 1960s Johnson Matthey formed a subsidiary, Johnson Matthey Bankers (JMB), which took its seat in the London Gold Fixing. In the early 1980s the bank expanded its activities outside the bullion business and started making high-risk loans. Bank assets more than doubled between 1980 and 1984, and loans became concentrated to a few borrowers, including Mahmoud Sipra and his El Saeed group, Rajendra Sethia and ESAL Commodities, and Abdul Shamji.[6] The quality of some of these loans turned out to be worse than expected, such as the £21 million lent to Abdul Shamji of Gomba Holdings[7] (the then owner of Puddle Dock and the Mermaid Theatre in London). The size of the loans grew to exceed the level of the bank’s capital. (Shamji was sentenced to 15 months in prison for lying about his assets during a High Court inquiry into the bank’s collapse.)[8]
Because JMB was one of five members of the London Gold Fixing, Bank of England officials were worried that if it became insolvent confidence in the other bullion banks would be undermined, and panic could spread to the rest of the British banking system. To prevent a wider banking crisis the Bank of England organized a rescue package on the evening of 30 September 1984, purchasing JMB for £1.[9] Most of JMB’s business was subsequently sold to Mase Westpac.[10]
such enrichment, before the enrichment we had a coach company bus all employees into work from around the area, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, a works restaurant, cricket pitch, golf, lawn tennis and football pitch, and a snooker room and sociial bar,
All cancelled after that, the employee share scheme people put their savings into, shares went from £5 to 50p people lost their houses due to thieving arabs
BBC funds Stonewall, and now the cosy BBC’s relationship with Stonewall is finally being scrutinised..
You might not be aware of the series of outstanding podcasts that Nolan released this week, examining the influence that Stonewall, a charity that lobbies on sex and gender issues, has over public bodies including the BBC itself.
…Probably the most remarkable finding in that investigation is that Ofcom, the media regulator, used its rulings on broadcasters’ content to try to impress Stonewall and score points on its Workplace Equality Index, which supposedly measures how employers are doing in supporting LGBT staff.
…. Ofcom has exercised its statutory powers to regulate media output not in accordance with the instructions it has been given by government and parliament but to align with the agenda of an outside organisation, Stonewall.
That’s not how public policy or government should work. Ofcom, like other public bodies, gets to do things that affect people and their lives (in this case, helping to decide what we can and cannot watch on TV) because those people (the electorate) have put in a place a parliament and government that gives Ofcom the authority to do so. Ofcom answers to ministers and parliament and they answer to the public. If the public don’t like Ofcom or its work, they can elect politicians who can change things.
…So too do his findings about the influence that Stonewall was apparently able to exert over the BBC itself, influence that several times appears to extend far beyond advising the Corporation over HR matters and into editorial decisions.
….Questions of sex and gender are, to state the obvious, contested. There is no settled view on whether sex (an observable fact) is more important than gender identity (a subjective idea). Even collections of letters are controversial. The BBC routinely talks about the ‘LGBT community’ and, until recently used to employ an LGBT Correspondent. But some people don’t think LBG (Lesbian, Bi, Gay) and T (Transgender) should be grouped in that way; they say sexuality is about physical sex and gender is about subjective ideas.
Simply by using LGBT in its output and job titles, then, the BBC is taking sides in a contest of ideas. And taking the same side as Stonewall, which it has paid to advise it on such issues.
…Those principles have been repeatedly violated in the way public bodies have dealt with Stonewall. It makes no secret of the fact that it is a lobbying organisation promoting a particular – and contested – set of ideas around sex and gender. Yet instead of being treated like a player on the pitch, public bodies have delegated their own role as referee to Stonewall.
…There is no mistaking how uncomfortable this must be for the BBC and people there: as Nolan reports, internal staff groups interested in LGBT issues are well-established and vocal. My own conversations with senior executives at the Corporation also strongly suggest that sometimes BBC output on this contested issue is shaped by the opinions of BBC staff.
All rather cosy at the BBC lobby group, run by staff for staff, and approved by Ofcom. Mainly former BBC members, fancy that.

Jim Davidson somehow allowed himself to be talked into appearing in this dumpster fire. The same Jim Davidson who regularly used ‘nig nog’ and ‘darkie’ in his stand-up routines, along with putting on a comedy Caribbean voice and mocking the blacks. Talk about a set-up. Why didn’t they pull Starkey away from his research to explain himself? Davidson is a piss-easy target because he’s already cut his legs off at the knees. Starkey however, would eviscerate Ashley Banjo on national television and he knows it. Culturally and intellectually, he’s both ignorant and a coward.
🟤 11pm Channel 5 :black actor David Harewood’s 1000 Years A Slave
5 parts, oh joy!
Shall clear my diary forthwith.
A parade of white-hating racists who’ve done fantastically well out of life in the white man’s world.
Scum, each and all.
Tonality is sometimes hard to assess but there is a sense of disappointment to this.
Perhaps the media trend to treating allegations as convictions is a factor?
10:15pm 🟢 Channel 4 ‘How We Forgot To Save The Planet’,
will it be preachy ?
… Or will it take the mickey out of ecowarriors ?
Since TV these days is made by SCHOOL BULLIES who have spent the last 10 years tormenting us, I won’t be watching to find out.
OK Channel4 commissioned a comedy prog, the maker used BBC studios
so the prog carries the BBC logo even though it is on Channel4
Time for the midweek thread …
The word ‘alleged’ in media hands is a wondrous thing.
@GW, stick it on the new thread
