For those who do not accept the ‘climate change theory ‘ – this weekend poses a dilemma. Do we listen to the output of the BBC or switch it all off and do something useful . It will be tempting to watch poor old joe Biden trying to read the autocue and being praised for not answering questions by BBC automatons …..

I know this has nothing to do with BBC bias really. But I
wonder what team , the red or the blue you are biased against
on Flog It, Cash in the attic. Or any of the other plethora of
antique programmes there on BBC? Isn’t it riveting TV when
somebody from the blue team buys a spoon for £10 and it is auctioned for a fiver?
Bargain Hunt, buy retail, sell wholesale, buy for oneself, try and sell to others. Not the best business model!
The Antiques Road Trip gets me. You try going in and offering to pay 20 quid on a ticket price of £110 ! and see how far you get ! laughably the auction price occasionally fails to reach the £20, which shows how much mark up the shop owner is making.
“I am a YouTube influencer. I want it for nothing. If you don’t 100,000 followers will tweat against you.”
“Didn’t I know your Godfather, bambino, or was it your Grandfather, Liebchen?”
It’s ok when its the licence fee’s cash that is being wasted!
Very good.
Or La Manche.
In the bbc, maybe.
At least he has not figured the lens flip like Springster.
The Economist is just there to conceal his copy of Big Whoppers.
Nice to see him supporting British Brewers…
Vulcan Nerve Pinch?
Joe Brandon is clearly from another planet.
He wants a sniff of Bojo’s hair
Jeff Stelling just announced he is leaving Gillette Soccer Saturday. I wonder which BME pundit or female will replace him.
Halifax – no! Why I subscribed to sky footy he used to be a highlight …. But stopped paying years ago … life goes on …
I reckon one of those unknown ex girl so called footy players gets the gig . Never managed ,never won anything – saying how it should be ,,,
BBC’s record on Climate Reporting
Has the bbc issued a ‘correction ‘…
Ah, but that is Famous Amos, and #bbcquotes.
So by OFCOM rules, exempted.
10:50pm tonight as part of COP26 PR
BBC4 are reshowing their 2009 eco-doom drama that labels non-conformists as “stupid”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pft7f
The Age Of Stupid
The Times has an article on criticism of Tim Davie
Crap about him wearing white trainers.
that is all it’s about.
David Starkey Talks. A new YouTube channel.
Good news.
theisland
If anyone here subscribes – and he is worth subscribing to – hit the bell for info about his vids.
Yes – nice to see he has 11 thousand subscribers already . He did a series on monarchs across the ages for C5 a while ago – i think it still turns up at 0300 on dave or similar …,
Getting it about gauche, BBC style.
So very… white.
I think that a boycott of all french produce would hurt them for than the opposite action by the enemy french .
We must find a way to dissociate from them . Perhapd start by closing the tunnel for safety reasons …
Not sure whether the BBC covered this, but did they go and ask the Frogs how they’re spending all the money we gave them to keep the illegals out?
It could be a great story, but as the wokefesters in W1AA want all the foreign dross they can get over here, I won’t even shut my eyes…
Whatever happened to that great bloke on the BBC who used to search out nasty people, confront them amd call them out? Sadly fogotten his name…
Seriously?
You believe the media lies?
Boris wants the migrants in Britain just like he wants the eco terrorists on the motorways. how many have been sent back? answer none.
I actually read past ‘rats in a sack’…
https://www.mailplus.co.uk/edition/comment/117806/with-kuenssberg-set-to-quit-heres-my-open-letter-to-bbc-chief-tim-davie-on-what-they-should-do-for-their-next-political-editor?
And got to Jon Sopel and Beth Rigby.
Good one, Crick; good one.
Sorely missed.
Probably the choice is between Femi, O’Brien and Adonis.
Wait until they bring in Nish.
In Norton’s case probably also plenty of others up his proverbial, a requirement for a white male career at the bbc it seems
Luckily, as I can’t stand the bloke (is he a bloke or something), so I never watch him.
But he was hugely irritating in Father Ted!
If there is an agenda to be pushed, one broadcaster can be relied upon above all.
So far, comments could be… hardly more Indy…
Wait until the next BBC Editorial Guidelines.
They miss him … they really do miss him terribly
Sopes channels his inner Nish.
Funny bloke wearing a haystack “Mr Biden, MR BIDEN…your cue cards are actually behind me, not down there, they’re your shoes”!
Very old bloke on left ” mnnnfghfhhh mgnfhhd “.
Funny bloke wearing a haystack ” Oh God, nurse, NURSE, his flies are undown and he’s just going on camera….uh oh, too late…”.
I love watching Laurel and Hardy trying to deliver a piano. Their utter incompetence makes them wonderfully funny. Love ’em…
However, watching these two pathetic plankton brains, waffling at the great climate love in, is deeply painful. The lack of any depth and real knowledge, or life experience, among the modern political leaders is depressing. There is no diversity of opinion. They’re all in the same choir, whistling the same tune. Not an original thought with any of them.
This Cop 26 is a vanity project. It will achieve nothing…
What happened to the other 25?
I was watching Final Score this arvo, I know I shouldn’t watch the bBBC but at least they can’t lie about the results, anyway to get to the point, after it finished there was a trailer for Spitting Image on Britbox, you know the stuff youv’e paid for but they want you to pay again, as I said to get to the point, there was a clip of David Attenborough peace be upon him, getting eaten by a lion. What a laugh, unfortunately it was another bBBC porky.
Detective Con Francois Olwage was charged with attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and attempting to cause/incite a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity following grooming.
– “was granted unconditional bail”
– and no photo of him has yet appeared
isn’t that strange /
BBC POLITICAL tele-evangelism
BBC PR bragging that by the loosest definition of listener *
85% of the UK population are NOT BBC local radio listeners
* “weekly reach includes people who tune in for just a few minutes in a week
– there are about 56 million people in the UK over 15
Note that photo has 11 presenters
and only 2 are white males
There are no gingers
there are no baldies.
Nobody over 30 by the look of it.
And what’s with all the tongue sticking out ? like a 4 year old. Grow up. Likewise the peace sign – something that’s imported from the Japanese and Chinese who ALWAYS do it.
Some Rajar stats
Last night’s local news didn’t simply repeat the 6:30pm items
They sent a reporter out to make another slick Electric Car PR film

What percent of UK population do you think that is ?
Channel 4 now … Tony Robinson is doing the Mau Mau war

Time to close the Channel to all French imports. Including those imports in rubber boats.
Dover Sentry
“Time to close the Channel to all French imports. Including those imports in rubber boats.”
It doesn’t look as if we have a Leader with the bottle to do that.
18 thousand landings here already this year. There are probably many more unaccounted for.
We are in need of a proper government that can defend Britain and its people.
Dover – at least it stiffens the resolve of any brexiter who was weakening . The french really are – awful and should be treated as an enemy
Fed – My own feeling is that the average Frog has no interest in Macron’s antics. The Frogs in general know their place.
Couldn’t COP26 be held on Zoom? Oh wait…no freebies.
https://www.forbritain.uk/2021/10/29/the-ties-that-bind-what-purpose-do-international-organisations-serve/
The public is not aware that we do not have to fully ratify every section of a Convention. We can cherry pick what enters our national law and what sections of international agreements we are bound by.
So now we have to look again at our laws and international agreements due to Brexit. Why can’t we, as the British public, have a discussion and a voice regarding which International Agreements and Conventions serve us best going forward?
It appears that government lawyers and civil servants copy and paste Agreements and Conventions into our law, and MPs just rubber stamp them. Now the people should press for them to actually earn their wages and work for a living. We should tell the British people (minus the legalese) what these agreements mean to us, and tell our MPs whether we agree to them being ratified.
In other words, make MPs vote how the public wants, not how it best serves them in the revolving door of NGO posts and business Directorships.
Our BBC assumes that all ethnic minorities, Muslims, gays, the disabled and teenagers are left wing.
Our BBC are wrong on that. Big time.
@DS and on a tangent to that the metro-liberals think they OWN ..BAME people
that you are somehow a skin colour traitor if you don’t vote Labour.
Exhibit A: Badenoch, Kemi. Member of Parliament, Conservative.
We keep hearing about Boris’ 80 seat majority.
In my opinion, the only reason he got that majority was because we wanted brexit and he seemed the only one who would get it done.
He got a rubbish deal but it’s (sort of) done now.
The next GE will see the Conservatives lose a whole lot of seats as brexit is done and people are sick of the dithering Boris being told what to do by his missus.
I would hope the various parties on the right get together instead of splitting each other’s votes.
Secondly, a Farage type of person is needed to get the pensioners organised into one big voting bloc as they are being taken for granted by the conservatives because they have no one else to vote for.
“The next GE will see the Conservatives lose a whole lot of seats as brexit is done and people are sick of the dithering Boris being told what to do by his missus.”
And who are they going to vote for? Don’t forget this is a one party state you can vote for Kier Johnson, or Boris Starmer – both are the same and so are their parties. No other party is realistically allowed entry as the Brexit party proved with 5.5 million votes and not one MP.
Thoughtful.
Exactly right.
That’s why I’m hoping the ‘right’ can get together and the grey vote can be organised.
It’s a long shot but what else is possible?
We need a figurehead to lead the new right. A new Nigel. Could it be Tice?
It’s been mentioned that the French managed to track down one boat in the Channel that allegedly broke the Law.
Why can’t the French track down all those rubber boats breaking the Law? We pay them to do so.
🙁
So Geoff Stelling is leaving Sky Sports !! I wonder if a
pale, stale, male will replace him? I would make Alex Scott my
favourite. Although there are very good assortment of other
very good lady sports presenters at SKY. I think the lady
who presents the netball would be a good replacement for
Geoff. I don’t think they would go for “Cammy.” BUT it would be fun. Micah Richards could also be a front runner. Yes he
does tick some of the boxes. But a man for this job in the
present circumstances?
I cancelled the Sky sports after hubby died so makes no difference to me, but I confess I’m up to ‘here’ with all the women presenters/newsreaders whatever their hue.
(I see Carole Vorderman is no longer trusted to host Pride of Britain awards all on her own. Clearly the old girl is getting past it and cant be trusted to dress herself on her own, so she’s been given a side-kick. Enter stage right a male – and certainly of the right hue with suitable quirky name).
It seems there are no age barriers to this attitude.
I tuned into ITV2 earlier to watch horror movie “It” (more irritating than frightening, I’m afraid). A Harry Potter film had just finished on the channel and an advert for ©J.K. Rowling toys was being shown.
The two primary school age children playing with the stuff in the ad were – yes – white female and black male.
Holy Hogwarts, fifteen years from now they could be buying a sofa together. That’s what I call a long engagement.
Every single MSM title is currently going mental about a teenage dropout who so far has offered precisely nothing of positive value.
former hack?
Odd term to be proud of.
Seems to mean ‘shameless shill’, and he still has full run of the old place as do the rest.
GW,
But she has. She was used to stoke the children’s fire with climate nonsense propaganda and, now that’s been achieved, she really in no longer required. The climate debate’s ‘Nadiya Hussein’.
Friday our local news guy asked if people were interested in COP26
only 4 replied
They respect him too much to tell him to shove it
but 3 explained the UK is too small to make much difference
and on said he couldn’t afford green stuff.

“G20: World leaders agree to historic corporate tax deal”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-59101218
But what World leaders are missing ?
The BBC are completely hysterical about this now and they are publishing reams and reams of completely unsubstantiated and unproveable information.
Did you know a chocolate bar from the deforested rain forest emits more carbon than a serving of low-impact beef ?.
Apparently 1 ‘serving’ of chocolate emits about 7Kg of ‘greenhouse gas’!!!.
Climate change: Four things you can do about your carbon footprint
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-58171814
What complete BS. Nobody is mentioning how absolutely irrelevant all of it is until China cuts back in a massive way.
The bbc is well beyond hysterical now.
A hand overplayed for all to witness.
So many staff with so much space to fill, and all desperate to make their green mark.
It’s like the airwaves have been drenched in Soylent Green.
By now even Caroline Lucas will be in the Commons caff demanding a rare T-bone.
It is irrelevant in any case, irrespective of what China does.
Apologies for not being BBC, but when watching either a series or film I like to read the viewer reviews on IMDB. One, caught my attention, posted from another part of the world, and struck me that we all feel the same wherever we live…….
“Usually I like Australian productions, but . . . this one is slow and jumps around. And I an SO tired of every series and movie having to throw in a gay, lesbian or trans-gender theme to it! The majority of the viewers are not ANY of those yet tv and film want to shove it down our throats. Well, I am ceasing to watch. (ALL with those themes.) The more that cease to watch, the less that will be made. I want to watch tv and films that have none of that element. “
“. . .shove it down our throats.”
As the maiden aunt was heard to declare, “I find lesbianism leaves a bad taste in the mouth.”
Fishy comment there..
it’s not about
what they say it’s about,
and never has been.’
Neil Oliver’s brilliant summary of COP26

Oliver’s lecture : November 30th SW1
I assume the Telegraph are right on this
I assume their people are not getting through to media people that they are not like other folk.
Ironies abound.
Rog has his latest go.
Then a blonde.
Another one. All the way.
Fascinating who does not, but who does include #viewsmyown
The BBC has way too many opinionated twats on the books.
And more are firing up the engines…
Her ‘sources’ for research are unsurprising …
Guessing her award winning tweet will involve Greta saying “it is not enough, whatever it is”.
That would be because beer is more relevant and more important to far more people than the climate which they have no control over or interest in.
The scary trick or treat edition
Who are our national newspapers? What persona do they project? What fancy dress costume have they procured for themselves? What have they come to the party as?
The Telegraph one likes to characterise as a rather world-weary conservative soul who notices the game inexorably slipping away but resolves nevertheless dutifully to sit it out to the bitter end – the close of play. The Telegraph is a losing score card – noting and recording for the record each opposition win scored, each penalty fluffed, each home drubbing witnessed. For example this morning: ‘National Trust members vote to ban hunts on charity’s land‘
The sad, mild senility of the grumpy yet passive observer rooted in some moth-eaten timeless old armchair is perhaps best caught by the tone of the question: ‘Did you remember? The clocks went back overnight‘
The set up of the Sunday Telegraph frontpage gives its hidebound house-confined readers a modest helping of red meat, grist to the grumpy mill: ‘Johnson demands EU rein in Macron‘ – that was their red meat pre-packed meal on wheels, something to chew on, delivered, wrapped in tinpot dogs dinner British tin foil, as the highlight of the dog day. As if the EU would go out of their way to do us a favour. Throw us a bone?
This mess of pottage is combined with a creamy desert of pin up dreamy-looking, middle distance staring Mrs Carrie Johnson, captured somewhere on a foreign field in commemorative properly patrioticaly defeated poppy red outfit. They do say the Germans were weeping into their machine guns as they mowed us down: ‘the Prime Minister’s wife visited the Colosseum yesterday with other partners of G20 leaders‘ – the home of the Treaty of Rome – if readers did but know it the toothy bright as a dull button Nut Nut represents the very embodiment of Tory bait and switch – vote British true blue get lying Globalist rainbow green.
Paraphrasing Johnny-foreigner appeasing Major – it is tiring work playing endless ineffectual forward defensive strokes with a broken rubber cricket bat – better up stumps and go for a nap.
And the final lament – the last loyal post – from the Telegraph: ‘Matt is away‘ – and don’t we know it.
To the potty old cat woman, the Observer. The willowy old china chamber pot maid. Well, if we’re going to kick that old pussy the would-be retired colonel for no good reason other than close of season devilment – just as he was napping under his Telegraph, and shout some confusing newfangled slogan in his over-large and hairy ear – like bait and switch… trick or treat! – then we may as well dish something out to that batty catty Observer lady.
Fittingly featured front and centre this Sunday, this day of no rest for the wicked culture warriors is Margaret Atwood – her Canadianship, her of the Handmaid’s Tale. Wiki puts it nicely: ‘Atwood’s work has been of interest to feminist literary critics‘
The tone of celebration for twilight for Britain – thank goodness we’ve put all that Britishness behind us – seeps through the reminder: ‘Did you remember? Clocks went back at 2am. British Summer Time ended‘ – ended… ended… dontchaknow?
Observer lady has no loyalty, no favourite child, no dog in the fight: ‘France and UK told: end dispute or you’ll wreck Cop26 summit‘
She purrs with satisfaction at a big guilt-framed pic of a Boris, apparently nursing a headache, apologies or perhaps blessed relief to the long suffering Carrie, captured at the Colosseum. Give him the thumbs down. Throw him to the lions of the EU and the UN: ‘History awaits‘ – they say.
‘The Observer view. We have just two weeks to avert disaster‘ – and you know damned well that any and all recrimination will be wished down on the head of Boris avatar of Britain – like some gladiatorial grisly coup de grace from the spiteful elderly knitter lady at the foot of global Madame Guillotine.
The witchy Atwood’s featured love story can’t be about a woman and a chap. Perish the thought. Perish the memory of decades of French-stolen Britsh cod and herring: ‘Cats a love story by Margaret Atwood. From her first pet to a con artist kitten, the tale of her feline familiars‘
At the pussy cat stroke – of midnight – the Observer bloke, Nigel Slater, is banned from his balls, banished back to the kitchen: ‘autumn baked potatoes, pumpkin scones‘
Interestingly, bbc northern green goddess Vickster (me either) is mostly proud of her Atwoodist cred too.
BBC News from Getty America to rally the sistas.
Statistics show that stress and burnout are affecting more women than men en masse.

Comments are so far ideal to keep the bbc North eco loop in outrage for the week.
Alec Baldwin makes first public comments on ‘one in a trillion’ shooting
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59107040
These articles are completely pointless now. But they remain interesting as examples we can use to spot BBC trickery when they have their own agenda. In this case, it is to protect Baldwin because he is an arrogant, Trump-hating far-left activist and they love him for it.
The pattern seems to be to shift the blame off him with obfuscation at the moment. In this article we get ‘They said she had “never witnessed anyone shoot live rounds with these guns and nor would she permit that” and blamed producers for cutting corners, creating unsafe working conditions.’
Then in the next paragraph almost as if it is entirely unrelated they tell us : Mr Baldwin, who was also a producer on Rust, said he “sincerely doubts” that production on the film will ever resume.
So putting the pieces together, it appears Baldwin not only pointed and fired a loaded gun at someone, he may also one of those responsible for overriding safety advice. A link the BBC does not make.
It doesn’t look good for him at all. We could call it Karma – but I believe that we make our own luck. His personality and chance finally met up.
Pure bbc #prasnews
Divide the number of set fatalities into the number of sets for a start.
And for someone told not to say anything he appears to share Megharry’s BBC dedicated team.
I am quite certain that Trump will be genuinely sorry the woman died but extremely satisfied that Baldwin did it.
No cheap laughs from this one eh Alec ?. And I’m sure your wife loves you, not your money.
Gotta love the Lefties. Actually, no you don’t.
Apparently Marr is being granted an audience by a mad Scandinavian teenager . I was trying to think of any criticism he might have for her . I find it hard to believe that people still watch him …..
She’s being used to prop up Krankie in Glasgow.
Does this mean Groper is up there too?
When did he set off?
Surely mad Scandanavian teenagers should be reported to their school and social services under safeguarding legislation.
Imagine the furore of parents if a vulnerable autistic child was denied ‘the treatment they deserve’. Why it would all over the BBC news bulletins.
Promoted, probably by Nish and Femi’s managers.
The biased BBC at its most deliberately insidious.
Toady on Sunday at 0710 GMT
First and major headline
‘Black Muslims face racism on dating site’
(I might be wrong in exact details but not on direction).
Straight in the face of listeners.
Unambiguous and deliberate implication. It’s those racist whities again.
But wait. The story then did not appear for 40 minutes. And when it did it turned out, horror of horrors, to be about Black Muslims complaining about Asian Muslims!
This racism, or is it culturalism, is no surprise to me but a huge surprise for the BBC to cover such Roper division. Indeed Mr S junior used to say that in his vibrant school white-BAME racist behaviour was but a fraction of BAME-BAME racism. An inconvenient truth if ever there was one.
So in a rare moment of enlightenment the BBC did actually cover a Bame-Bame racist story. But labeled it differently and waited till the end of the programme to cover it.
I think I can spot a case of burying bad news when I hear one.
Stuff – I wanted the news and paper review but I heard the Muslim thing before I got to the ‘off switch ‘…. Seriously I wonder who they think their audience is ?
Over the next insufferable weeks on the over-hyped junket/p***up in Glasgow, and the immediate frog problem with our fish, there’ll be far too many places to bury bad news, and certainly any good news on the awful BBC.
Just of late, I’ve been listening to LBC at night, as R5Dead is always on about illness etc., and I’ve had enough of that for the time being, but I’m probably the last man on the planet to appreciate what a great talk show host Clive Bull is!
It’s so pleasant to hear such a balanced presentation without the sighs of O’Brien, or the Ferrari outbursts (which I enjoy, but not at 2.00am), this morning’s offering was great, as was yesterdays!
Anyone here know what weekday LBC is like , and who to look out for, as I’ll listen to Dotun, but go no further with Al Beeb as stated above!
Dotun makes short planks feel good about themselves.
Sluff,
And they tried to suggest that South Asians were only racist because they hadn’t come into contact with Afro-Caribbeans or sub-Saharan Africans until they moved to Britain. This is a lie. Within the sub-continent, a light skin is desirable and a darker skin is despised. A Bangladeshi friend of mine used to laugh at the suggestion that Britain was racist. If you want to see real racism, go to my country, he would say.
“Black Muslims complaining about Asian Muslims.”
And vice-versa, you may be sure.
The bbc appear to feel volume will compensate for insanity.
Oh the irony when it melts.
Should definitely have a ‘Mc’ in it then.
Was there a poll?
Glasgow McGlasgowface.
In Glasgow that used to come with the added attraction of a razor slash 50 or 60 years ago.
