For some reason the BBC decided to put out a 2 hour documentary about a ‘royal rift ‘. Unusually the Palace wasn’t granted a pre broadcast showing and there was the smell of injunctions in the air .Now there are suggestions that the piece was ‘toned down ‘to avoid further confrontation with the Royal Family . Perhaps the BBC isn’t so sure of itself after all?

The Dover arrests look like people leaving UK to do terrorism abroad
a 44-year-old man from Glasgow and a 40-year old man from Clydebank were initially stopped trying to leave the UK.
After a search of the vehicle they were in, they were arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
A vehicle and several digital devices (what 2 phones ?, 2 clocks ?were seized
Searches of properties in Glasgow and Clydebank have taken place.
Both men were released on bail pending further inquiries.
It could be that to Dover police people going to film illegals in France count as “terrorists”
“Arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism” + “several digital devices” – sounds ominous.
Whenever the BBC are cagey about providing details, I think we should ALWAYS imagine the worst, therefore I’m going to assume that the men were kilt wearing ‘Scottish Nationalists’, and those ‘digital devices’ were nukes which they were intending to deliver to Buckingham Palace – seem reasonable assumptions to me.

“Menace”?
Tells you all. I hope the French public give Eric a resounding cheer and their support in the forthcoming election.
If The Globalist despises him, he’s got to be good………….

Ross Atkins giving a four and a half minute rant about the Tories supposed rule breaking xmas bash. No evidence just innuendo…In it inviting family members of deceased covid victims to slag off the government..
Then just below it is a clip from last nights Question Time where the Tory representative is being heckled by the audience over the xmas bash..(SHE REALLY WAS INEPT)
Where is the clips of the Labour Party conference where all the delegates are getting sh-t faced at various parties etc..no social distancing or masks..
Since the Maxist loving, Corbyn worshiping, Momentum supporting Jess Brammar became BBC News editor things have become seriously one sided..Its now blatantly obvious the BBC is no longer even trying to hide its Bias..
What makes me even more pi–ed off is the fact the right supporting media and the Tory Party its self is doing sod all about it…Pathetic

New BBC Scotland story from an October trial
A guy pretended he’d set fire to the door at Fife Islamic Centre
by first posting photos of the mosque on Telegram messaging app. and then posted video of himself setting fire to the doorway of an ABANDONED building.
“The 24-year-old had earlier set fire to a headstone at a cemetery in Markinch, filming the blaze.”
(what headstone ?)
Police found a load of weapons in his house.
In the High Court in Glasgow, Lord Mulholland told him
“Many Muslims died fighting for the alliance in World War Two for the freedoms that you enjoyed.
“Imrie was convicted on two charges of breaching the Terrorism Act.”
“He was acquitted of a terrorism charge which stated that he engaged in conduct in “preparation” of terrorism acts.”
… To me a guy who pretends to set fire to a buidling
is not a terrorist, he’s just a nutter.
The BBC and establishment shout “hate crime”
Yet to me the guy seems to be a weirdo who was trolling the world in general. If the headstone at a cemetery was BAME the report would have said so
“He was also convicted of wilful fire raising, drink-driving and possessing “extreme” indecent images of children following a trial in Edinburgh in October.”
so it seems like the guy was screwed up in general not just Muslims”
The BBC tweeted the story 3 times, using his photo
it was retweeted by an NBC news guy
Al-Beeb’s eternal quest for those dangerous (but elusive) right-wing terrorists.
This nut-job set fire to a door in some abandoned derelict wreck in the middle of nowhere.
Quick, bang him up and throw away the key. He’s white, he’s male and he doesn’t like muslims. Oh, the horror!!
Ha, as I searched the BBC have put up another story
“Ben Raymond co-founder of National Action and inventor of the term “white jihad” jailed for eight years
… I’ve never heard of the term
It is certainly good to crackdown on the inciters of violence whatever their skin colour and allegiances
just as long as police resources are proportionately applied to all, and not soft on certain favoured demographics etc.
Just 2 BBC tweets so far
Same deal as above … they show the photo
They need the balance the numbers…
“Mental health problems” ……………………
How do you set fire to a headstone?!
He sounds like a freaky little weirdo with unhealthy fetishes, so what do you do with him? Give him a warning, and some counseling, tell him to join a youth group and do some community work? Nope, lock him up and throw away the key, apparently, that’ll sort his issues out.
The seven and half year sentence (of which he’ll serve maybe three), doesn’t sound proportional to the ‘crimes’ to me. No one was hurt, there was some damage to property, but pretty minimal, he liked collecting weapons (as lots do, most completely sane), had an interest in crime and psychos (as lots do, most completely sane), and wrote some utterly stupid things online (as lots do, mostly whilst intoxicated, or having a ‘bad day’)… or, am I missing something?
Others get three year sentences (of which they seem to serve a year, or less) for repeatedly grooming, threatening, assaulting and raping underage girls. Some don’t seem to get much longer sentences than that for stabbing people, or attempting to blow them up!
contrast with this repeat offender
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anjem_Choudary
“On 6 September 2016, Choudary was sentenced to five years and six months in prison following conviction for inviting others to support the proscribed organisation ISIS.[11]
He was released automatically on licence in October 2018 under specific conditions as being banned from speaking in public and conversing with anyone from the media.[12]
On 18 July 2021, Choudary’s ban on speaking in public was lifted”
Setting fire to a headstone sounds jolly clever.
No face photo in the tweet or story
“A man who ran a meat supply operation from a filthy hand-car wash has been jailed for 10 months.
Gent Jakupi 40, of New Park Street, Devizes,
admitted 39 food hygiene offences”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-59492147
That’s a bit close to home for me… just trying to recall if I ever bought any ‘meat’ whilst having my car washed in Devizes?
Luckily for me, I’m too much of a skinflint to pay anyone to wash my car (that’s what you have children for), and don’t normally buy my meat from car washes.
Not every news story involving non-white perps is suppressed
Here 3 local BBC offices Leeds, Yorkshire and Northwest
all tweeted with the photo.
The sory doesn’t mention anything of his background
so In infer that he is an asylum seeker,
“The story doesn’t mention anything of his background
so In infer that he is an asylum seeker,”
If it’s not specified ALWAYS assume the worst… or make up whatever details you want.
I’ve noticed that they always report when something official happens – as in this case where he has been jailed. They also always report police press releases about such things. They know they are wide open to accusations of bias if they don’t.
If it’s not an official event, they use their own discression about what they do and do not tell us. And that’s when they hide inconvenient truths which don’t fit the agenda.
Even in cases like this they have their tricks. Sometimes they delay publishing until late at night then the story quickly slides off the main page. If it’s on-agenda, they sometimes put it on ‘Must see’ or ‘Long read’ and leave it there for a week or more.
And as already stated, what they DON’T tell you is often more important than what they do.

“H-” – no heterosexuals allowed due to the inclusive nature of the place.
Doesn’t anyone from this set of initials look ‘normal’ anymore ?
Not the BBC – but just an observation- the excellent – ‘talking pictures TV ‘is broadcasting ‘secret army ‘ which the BBC did when it was the BBC . It’s about the French resistance in WW2.
I remember it when I saw it as a kid – but now my viewing is a bit spoilt by ‘allo allo ‘- which I never really got on with . ..
Turns out that ‘allo allo ‘ was written as a ‘remedy ‘ to the aforesaid ‘secret army ‘ – the storylines and scripts of which – keep their power …
I think I watched the first episode of ‘Allo, ‘Allo, didn’t like it and avoided the next episodes.
A year or so later I watched it ‘because there was nothing else’. THis time I found it entertaining. It is really a pantomime set in France, it isn’t the novelty of the ‘jokes’, more the repitition.
Ah non ce n’est pas le cas. Oh oui ça l’est.
Not BBC
The twitter has got people commenting on the lovely couple sentenced today for torturing their 6 year old boy to death .
The twitter comment are addressed to convicted prisoners being advised to ‘do what you need to do ‘ when you come across them inside …. I think they got 21 and 29 years respectively so I guess that really means 10? Years in real life – in a nice category prison / holiday camp …
“I think they got 21 and 29 years respectively”
Both equally guilty, she might have actually done the act, he (the father!) egged her on, sending her texts saying things like “just finish him.”.
Poor, poor kid – no prison sentence is enough.
No blame being apportioned on this one because ‘inquiry ‘ cloak has come down .
I reckon the mistakes were fairly basic with inexperienced overworked ‘jobsworths ‘ avoiding action and putting their efforts into covering their bottom ….

BBC going big on the disorder outside wem Ber lee on the final day of the tedious Euros . I’m guessing the report doesn’t mention the amount of hype the MSM BBC put on that football – driving attention to a pitch of fever.
Strange that such a big occasion wasn’t controlled properly . Maybe plod was sitting on twitter looking for nasty racy words rather than controlling people attending …..
No mention that stewards took bribes to open fire doors to selected people.
Another issue is the cops failing to stop non-ticket holders into the entry road.

“MP who posted a picture of himself wearing only underpants on a gay dating site receives publicity puff from BBC.”
For some reason (is he about to publish a book or something?), MP Chris Bryant features on the homepage of the BBC ‘news’ website, to declare that he “now feels less safe as a gay man”. He also accuses the government of “stoking a ‘culture war’, which he said always ended with people who are ‘slightly different’ being targeted’, and apparently “They’ve learned this trick in America from Trump and in the end culture wars will always pick on those who are slightly different and that means the gays, the Jews and the blacks and that’s always the list that crops up whenever a populist government gets into power.”However, we do not learn whether people who do not wish to wear masks, relish lockdown or submit to experimental gene therapy from the likes of Pfizer count as ‘people who are slightly different and being targeted’ in this alternative reality he speaks of (such people were referred to as untermenschen in Germany in the 1930s and are starting to be again as Merkel and mates start feeling nostalgic). Most people would say that society, including this Conservative (sic) government as well as the Trump Administration, have bent over backwards (no pun intended) to accommodate those whom Bryant and the BBC consider to be ‘slightly different’.

I may live a somewhat sheltered life, but I can honestly say the only people I’ve seen get picked on for years now are heterosexual white males.
Why am I not surprised at all this tw@t is another member of the Labour party who is full of bitterness.
Covid blip is slowing
It is the third day in a row where cases are higher than 7 days ago
However today’s positives is only 1% higher than 7 days ago
But deaths are still training down 10.6% lower than 7 days ago
When the data gets finalised for actual days
it does seem like positives at the start of December are about 12.5% higher than at start of December
but then cold weather does exert a rising effect.
Testing has been over 1,230,000 per day recently – a ridiculous amount for a virus which isn’t as deadly as the authorities are insisting it is. Out of 1,000,000+ active cases, the numbers of serious and critical has fallen to less than 900, but lets all panic about the Moronic variant.
Over the last 7 days the number of cases have gone up by 3%
Over the last 7 days the number of tests have gone up by 5%
The numbers actually show a drop in cases because they are testing more but not finding as many cases.
Simply put, week 1 test 1000 and find 50 cases (5%)
Week 2 test 2000 and find 60 cases (3%) which shows a drop even though there are more cases.
The bbc has as good a grasp of what folk are interested in as it does actual facts.
Common Purpose poster boy….
So that’s Gays and Jews…….. now who could be the problem then ? And his left friends let them in.
You know that MPs are supposed to already have an existing ban from doing private work from their Commons office.
The other day the BBC Flog It prog was in Berwick-upon-Tweed
and to get historical background they went over to a historian … Rory Stewart MP
I don’t mind that he was paid for as a history consultant on the show
but they video said and showed that he was speaking from his Commons office
.. so the BBC and he broke the rules.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00039cb/flog-it-series-16-30-series-16-revisited
StewGreen,
“I don’t mind that he was paid for as a history consultant on the show”
And your evidence he was “paid for as a history consultant” is…?
Hi, twat.
Maxi, actually it doesn’t make much difference what he was paid
He was in his House of Common office, WORKING for the BBC
The context was “Here we are in Bewick, but there is a historian who can give us a lot more background , so over to Rory Stewart”
..He was presented clearly as a historian rather than an MP, other historians would’ve been paid for that work.
Anyways I expect if you get paid £100 etc. that is probably too small to appear on parliamentary lists
AFAIK He has been paid by the BBC in the past cos he has made documentaries etc.
Amol, Jo and Nish walk into a bar.
And can do basically whatever they feel like.
No wonder the Beeb gave him a job.
Listen to Dowden’s mealy-mouthed response to JHB here.
Seems like The Rayworth has got the Comrade Marr slot on the failing BBC .
C4 news – comedy – have discovered that kids have been killing kids at an increasing rate . Plenty of coloured talking heads . Nothing about the race of victim / killer . I reckon at least 70 / 70 coloured .
Having a domestic ‘culture ‘ where there is little control at home – in the street or at school – plus a non existent law enforcement it is surprising there is not x10 more victims and killers .
Blighty isn’t ready for the measures necessary to reduce such killings . But I guess it sells papers and allows a bit of vicarious sadness
The numbers are these – defendants convicted of murder – aged 12 to 19 . Gender not specified nor race … but you can guess …
2019 66
2018 57
2017 31
2016 27
A clue might be that of the 3 talking heads used by C4 news 2 were coloured ….
C4 followed on with the excellent report about the wemberly nonsense proving Blighty isn’t fit to hold the World Cup in the foreseeable future . Give it to china …
9pm Sky Documentaries : HBO doco about 5 Syrian refugee families
The Times pick it , cos they always pick woke stuff.
StewGreen,
The impact of war, separation, and displacement…
“woke stuff”
Maxi yes “woke stuff”
Ther are lots of wars going on at any one time
mostly in Africa
when certain wars are focused on whilst others are largely ignored
that is being woke ie being disproportionate.
I can’t find any reference to the Trump interview on the BBC news website. Lots of very minor events mentioned, though.
It’s not like 10 million people watched
The Farage interview of Trump on Wednesday from 7:00pm gained 155,600 viewers,
while during the same time BBC News had 118,200 and Sky News just 60,500, reportedly.
So about 0.25% of UK population watched
The BBC would have mentioned it if Obama had been the subject.
That’s spot on about Obama
I note the Guardian says 1.3% of UK population watched
So I wonder if the figures above is a tally of households
rather than individuals.
.. The GBnews Official 30 minute interview has only 8,200 views by YouTube count
It’s interesting that twitter is full of trolls that claim Farage is endlessly promoted by the BBC
and as you say their website doesn’t mention the interview.
There is a strange thing : when I search the BBC website for mentions of Trump in the last week
it throws up pages from January 2020 which have dozens of new link elements dated from the last week.
tewGreen,
“I note the Guardian says 1.3% of UK population watched”
Reading difficulties?
“…it was watched by just 1.3% of British television viewers during the hour the programme was on air”
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/dec/02/trump-talk-with-nigel-farage-plumped-up-ratings-for-gb-news
@Maxi I’m happy for people to add context there for the 1.3%
but that was a mere aside, that makes no difference to my main point
” about 0.25% of UK population watched”
.. I didn’t read the 1.3% in the Guardian directly, but rather from a tweet
so hadn’t picked up that it referred to viewers at the time rather than population
Anyway it makes no difference to my main point
GBnews now “There is likelihood of a terrorist attack before Christmas
our cameras went out with anti-terrorist officers patrolling the West End.
… Nobody I know ever goes to that London place anyway.
..except the odd football match at Wembley etc.
The DT reports that the Blue Labour government is to introduce a new crime of ‘street harrassment ‘ aimed at countering the ‘cat calls’ women get in the street ….
… depending on the drafting – this could / should instantly outlaw all those beggars pretending to be from charities .
Even better – any human interaction in a public place might well become a criminal offence . Excellent news eh ?
The ordinary cop on the street will find this to be totally impractical and worthless. But, the Home Office will create a management spreadsheet which will demand arrests in order to justify the legislation.
Result? Public alienation. But senior police officers would get their bonuses.

I was wondering ( a little bit ) about what the SNP / Scot’s people reaction is to shell cancelling the oil field because it doesn’t like oil any more ?
I was thinking that keeping a strategic resource in the ground longer might be useful when the current green madness is found out – but then again every one will have personal fusion power by then …..
