As the party season is in full swing will the BBC declare a Christmas Truce over the hounding of the Prime Minister or Project Fear with everything and everyone being overwhelmed ?
“… and mould the whole of Europe into a copy of Germany …. a good place to start is to ditch the easy historical comparison (ignore history and you will repeat it) … because Angela Merkel is a figure of our here and now and it’s vital to understand her better because she (Merkel) matters more to our future (UK) than, what, 95% of British Politicians.” – BBC’s Andrew Marr 2013

BBC run the Guardian article and – would you believe it – open another HYS on it.
Cue the bitter and twisted remainers who just want to vent their hatred of Boris and Brexit. Just as the BBC knew they would. It’s absolutely pathetic.
Rapes and murders, children left to die, Christian genocide around the world from muslims, gang rapes of white children by muslims in the UK, and racist attacks on jews not important, for the simple fact of the colour, religious belief and or sexual bias or the perpetrator
parties are for the bbc, and having a group w@nk into their £4 skinny lattes over lockdown again and a little story about muzzie victims of course
I could forgive them for a week but now enough is enough with their party political biase a complaint IS required
Well. I caught the fex! Symptoms have been very much like a cold, and certainly nothing like the time I caught it same time two years previous.
Symptoms started with a hacking cough and a few sneezes followed by a woozy feeling in the head and a temperature. It’s lasted a couple of days and hasn’t stopped me doing anything I wanted to do.
I would say it’s been a winter cold, nothing more and it affected me for a couple of days. I know that for some people the symptoms will be much more severe (and more mild too), but I would say for the vast majority it’s nothing to worry about, and I’m not vaccinated either.
I managed to stay at home and decorate the lounge whilst suffering, still admiring my radical taste in what wickes calls subtly green (if that’s subtle I would hate to see bold)
And as for a so called “floating shelf” I am just bloody relieved Argos had nothing to do with the retreat from Dunkirk
Some Admirals may have an opinion on that
Bastards, nearly lead to a divorce that enterprise, and she is still not talking as for the cat not seen it for two days after hammer drilling half the bloody wall out to put up one poxy shelf
anyway I feel better now, and there is a a letter from the wife on the coffee table which I leave, as I am sure it will be full of admiration for the green lounge with a 20 degree floating shelf and some extra texture added to one wall and a cat shitting itself over the carpet every time the hammer drill is engaged,
Running out of cash, its a toss up between rawl plugs and cat shit bags
Very similar. I had a slightly painful cough a few days ago which lasted around 24 hours, some sneezing, and I think over the entire 3 days or so where I had various “symptoms” the most remedial thing I did was take a couple of dispirins. Pretty much ok today.
And I haven’t had any jabs either. No vaccinations. No booster. No hand bloody ridiculous sanitiser either.
What a con. If we lockdown again it will be absolutely scandalous.
My recent hard-flu, hard a painful throat
I got the temperature usually hot, sometimes cold
but by the next morning it had moved to my lungs
I contained it by taking flu medicine and running
After 60 hours I didn’t need medicine
had a running nose, so stayed away from people to not spread it.

The programme discussed a tweet by Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner, congratulating Anas Sarwar on being ‘the first ever ethnic minority leader of any political party anywhere in the UK’.
As there have been a number of Jewish leaders of British political parties, it sought to explore why some official monitoring does not include Jews as an ethnic rather than a religious minority. To be clear, Jews are an ethnic minority recognised in law.

Some people point to Boris’ bout of covid as a turning point from being a Tory to a green lefty.
I reckon it was Carrie.
One of the popular things often repeated by pro lockdown types is that Boris almost died from covid.
Is there any truth in this?
I suspect it’s been very much exaggerated and that he was poorly but not in any real danger.
Many with Flu or a bad cold might say “I felt like I was going to die” but in reality were just feeling lousy.
Getting married and having two kids seems to show he wasn’t as ill as they would like us to believe.

20 years
A good quality, modern wind turbine will generally last for 20 years, although this can be extended to 25 years or longer depending on environmental factors and the correct maintenance procedures being followed.
Quite right, MM. When Blair was trying to cover the UK in them back in 1998, I wrote to some Uni expert to enquire about CO2 expended in manufacture. He confirmed a 30 year life expectancy with three years being taken off to ‘pay back’ for the CO2 during manufacture. Think installation may have been extra.
Given that mainland UK is connected together by the National Grid the average carbon intensity of electricity consumed is the same wherever one lives.
Exactly the same as if one were to switch from Smoky Joe Electricity to Squeaky Green Electricity, same electricity, different colour bills.
One could map carbon intensity of electricity generated but that comes down to history and geography, i.e. more hydro in Scotland, more solar in Cornwall etc. but what would be the point?
A good overview on something called ‘intermittance’ which is what the National Grid try to do and ‘balance’ the load. In this PDF** link he explains the impossibility of the UK position of not having enough back up generation but relying on EU links (notably France).
So the possibility of ‘power cuts’ are only too real.
There’s definitely something funny going on. The BBC are colluding with the Daily/Sunday Mirror and the Guardian/Observer newspapers to kill Boris Johnson’s career as PM dead by a thousand cuts. They were doing some more excremental stirring (I think excrement is the right word for ‘little by little’) for the second item in the running order so I had to switch off.
Interesting that go-between for the BBC with the Mirror Group and Guardian Group, Laura ‘Part-time’ Kuenssberg, is being shuffled sideways. Is that to avoid the humiliation of Tim Davie being forced into a public sacking?
“#OurNHS workers are yet again doing an amazing job, rolling out the booster and helping so many.

Corbyn to hold a new party … 1st October 2020
Jeremy Corbyn apologises for breaking Covid-19 rules at dinner for nine
FORMER Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has apologised for his “mistake” after being photographed at a dinner party for nine people.
The MP and his wife were pictured with the guests at the gathering in London last weekend – the photos were published in the Sun newspaper today. The group now face fines totalling up to £1800.
Or is Part-time left outside with the donkeys for ‘socially distancing’ sake?
I have now been informed that ‘increment’ is the word I should have used in my post above. Poor old Labour. They are doing their own and the Suckers reputation no good at all. So boring are they that no-one in the Labour Party wants to celebrate Christmas, especially with their boring Parliamentary colleagues and staff.

‘Embarrassing’: Boris Johnson criticised for rambling speech to CBI
Business leaders and Conservative MPs criticise speech in which PM extensively praised Peppa Pig World and imitated car
Time to be controversial, I think. Have another look at the photograph of the “party” which the bbc are touting as their latest scoop. Cheese and wine, it’s hardly Profumo, is it? Notice also that the break in proceedings (We’ve got to eat and drink at some point) has the groups, both on the patio and the lawn, appearing to be making some sort of socially distancing effort, and holding the break out of doors. I’m sure that any keen-eyed viewers will see that A is only 1.873 metres from B.
Another “divide and conquer” tactic is picking out comments saying that anti-vaxxers falling ill should pay for the whole treatment, as it’s all their fault, as are brexit and global warming. I’d love to be a fly on the wall of a hospital (I’m sure there are plenty) in a few years time. “Heart attack and coronary disease? Did you have the vaccine? You did? Oh well, you’ve only got yourself to blame”.
I’m not against or in favour of vaccines. It’s a personal choice and should remain so, in my humble. My vaccine status is, as it should be, my business only.
how would a bbc employee have any idea what a teacher looked like, most spent their time with (ready made socialist worker) placards in their hands wandering around the streets
The BBC is a totally corrupt organisation: but it does have a purpose for the ‘lefties’ who taken taken over (almost) all our nations historic institutions. Its hard to think of anything “positive” about the BBC from any perspective but one instance. And that is the USA success of former BBC (DG) Mark Thompson who promptly resigned when Jimmy Saville and his BBC acquaintances were found systematically abusing children. This lead to the Operation Yew tree by the Met Police and Mark Thompson ran off to America with an ‘award’ payment of £2million* BBC expenses to aid his escape into another prime job at the New York Times….
Mark Thompson was never prosecuted and claimed ignorance of BBC sexual practices.
Note: The New York Times has a largely Guardian readership and the BBC is considered ‘world class’ in being continually ‘public funded’ (an oddity in any other country)- for so long with its (false) ‘liberal label. Liberals don’t really care that they now follow ‘Marxist doctrine’, as they have ‘no memory of any such atrocities’ as that is erased each generation by University ‘higher’ education.
But the New York Times is good at dismantling the American dream. Its aspiration is disconnection from reality into a virtual world of human rights and it is prepared to erase Marxists events and claim that all white men are culpable in racial exploitation going back to 1619 originally claimed in the NYT juste before Mark Thomspon joined them as Chief Editor. Under a cloud, but not fallen but AWARDED!
The BBC never talk about (US) The 1619 project and just talk about ‘BLM’ conformity. Mock ethics based on Marxiist Theory that claims that all white men are serial exploiters (apart from the same white men working in the BBC and the New York Times). So thats all right then.
Why the BBC moved Mark Thompson is now clear
(quote) “At the heart of nuanced social justice training lies a subset of ideologies most infamously aligned with Critical Race Theory and the Marxist movement. This training is known as the 1619 Project, and the notably Marxist ideologies which support its founding principles would make any well-read scholar write off the project as political doctrine that cannot exist outside the realm of metaphorical fiction. Despite its lack of historical accuracy, the doctrine has been introduced academically and professionally across America. As parents protest the adoption of this material by their local schools, schoolchildren are getting a taste of the true intentions behind the social justice movement.
The 1619 Project was founded by Nikole Hannah-Jones, an American investigative journalist and contributing writer for the New York Times.” https://libertyscholar.org/the-1619-project/
Reading in the SPECTATOR (11th Dec 2021) under the Biden regime of Black Lives Matter.
Thanks to Biden amnesty, the jails are being emptied and the Police are powerless to arrest suspects that are looting large parts of America. New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland and Philadelphia re becoming no-go zones. Not reported in the US press dues to adoration of the great leader.
Criminals walk out of jail, murder, rioting, mobs looting and violence in America. Murder has doubled and the police are in retreat. Biden’s thinks this is a ‘rebalancing’ and there is nothing to worry about.
No doubt Kamala Harris is sorting out the Mexican illegal immigrant gangs as we don’t read. The US media is still enthrall of Biden’s incompetence. The BBC too, can see no issues.
In some part, Mark Thompson was an ideal candidate to take over the New York Times in 2012. He wears the BBC on his lapel badge. HAs created an all out ‘war against TRUMP’ as soon as he arrived. After three years of (falsified) ‘russian connection’; claimes by the NYT – (which never existed), although Biden has much closer links to China.
Corruption is all around Mark Thompson. HE has left the NYT in much better shape. And now he can return to Britain knowing he will be welcome back at the BBC or lead a new ‘rights’ campaign, perhaps doing the same for The failing Guardian, and able to offer advise to the BBC on how to create a fear campaign blame it all on white men, get the poor to vote for lock-down and come out smelling of roses much richer than the liberal marxist swamp that can never be drained. Thompson has proved that a BBC subscription can work! The down side is that propaganda will racial culture wars for ever and a society living in fear, the only option is a reboot into global socialism. (now proposed as the great reset environmentally claiming CO2 is dangerous and a series of pandemics’ – all based around flu and colds and false climate predictions.). He never mentions the role of FAUCI, SOROS or GATES in help funding roll out. Propaganda is all to the left. Ignorance is bliss.
Welcome back Mark Thompson, Desert Island Disks awaits at the BBC. Its all worked out rather well for Mark Thompsom, or should, he thank Jimmy Saville?, BBC programs never mention the historical BBC ‘pedophile tendency’ in public. I learn there is a ‘new word’ being used in polite BBC circles, its based on ‘cultural’ UN human rights of certain island nations. Therefore an automatic ‘protected’ characteristic by former PIE network members. Human Rights is often the opposite. i.e no rights at all as diversity trumps all. A BBC liberal media theme.
A big success for the BBC was getting Biden elected in the US. Thanks to Mark Thompson inventing ‘Russian stories’ that could not be proved and creating the myth of ‘global warming’ and creating the ‘global pandemic’ from China polished as ‘truth’ of an emergency that forced goverbemnt to impose ‘emergency funding and vaccination programs’.
They all expire in 2023*. And Pfizer is up to its neck in continuing the pandemic, ‘crazy mess’. https://conservativeplaybook.com/2021/11/13/researcher-speaks-out-on-pfizer-covid-vaccine-trial-calls-it-a-crazy-mess/
None of the Vaccine drugs are what they seem.
Its a big experiment based on an around sociological ‘compliance’ and (COV)-ID cards. Tony Blair tried to bring in same – during his years in office, they lost office before it could be implemented. Now we are here again by the back door under a so called Conservative government. Which is a liberal policy adopter aligned with Biden who would deny being Marxist and claim to be Liberal ‘progressive’ – much like the BBC does when asked. Mark Thompson. a ‘liberalprogressive’… No doubt Gates reads the NYT. Gates is also the second biggest funder of the WEF (DAVOS) which has direct links FAUCI, SOROS and GATEs into global world wide campaigns. One of may fundings to ‘change the world’ to suit the next batch of megalomaniacs and psychopaths. The Great reset. The New World Order.
The Greek letter OMNICROM does not exist. Its based on an anagram called ‘MORONIC’.
You may think its all a ‘coincidence’ but half the population are running for their lives (from seasonal cold). Mark Thompson, its not all his fault but he is a big part of the mass media conspiracy in the USA.
We’ll be hearing more of Mark Thompson the BBC ‘champion’ that changed the world. and stopped Trump being re-elected. Although most us know that included voter ‘fraud’ going through the US courts. Not that anyone will be prosecuted under Biden. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/who-funds-world-health-organization-un-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-trump/

‘Kuenssberg took over from Nick Robinson in 2015, becoming the first woman to hold the position.’
And once again the BBC talking about it’s own awards as if someone else gave them. It’s the BBC. She got the job because she was a woman.
What I find most offensive about that article though is that all the examples they give of her ‘controversy’ are where she has supposedly been on the side of the political Right !!!. I’ve listened to this woman screech at Tories and speak softly to Labour enough times to know where her loyalties lie. Way over on the Left.

No, it’s all rather tragic, and infantile.
The awfulness of it.”
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.

Good luck answering this one without laughing yourself silly.
the bbc are obsessed with Nigeria apart from the news everyone else is reporting
USCIRF Alarmed by Violence against Christians & Shi’a Muslims in Nigeria
Washington, DC – The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) today condemned recent instances of violence against religious communities in Nigeria, including attacks on Christians in Kano state and Kaduna state and violence against Shi’a Muslims in Abuja.
“Vulnerable religious communities in Nigeria are under attack,” said USCIRF Commissioner Tony Perkins. “We are devastated by news of these recent attacks and outraged that the Nigerian government has not done more to prevent this violence and bring justice to the perpetrators.”
On Sunday, September 26 a violent mob in Kano State attacked and killed Christian Reverend Yohanna Shuaibu, in retaliation for his alleged involvement in converting a local member of a Muslim family to Christianity. That same day, armed militants attacked two Christian communities in Kaduna state, killing 49 people. Kaduna State is a Muslim majority state where Christian communities have borne the brunt of a vicious ethnoreligious conflict for many years. On Tuesday, September 28, Nigerian security forces reportedly shot and killed eight Shi’a Muslims in their response to a Shi’a procession marking the holiday of Arbaeen.
“Three attacks on vulnerable religious communities in three days is unacceptable,” said USCIRF Commissioner Frederick A. Davie. “We call on the U.S. Department of State to redesignate Nigeria a country of particular concern for engaging in and tolerating these systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of international religious freedom.”
One Christian killed and at least 60 kidnapped in Nigerian church attack
Your prayers are again desperately needed for our family in Nigeria, following another attack on Christians, this time by a group of bandits. The incident reflects the increasing and shocking impunity with which armed bandits and extremist Islamic militants are wreaking havoc across Nigeria, with Christians often amongst those targeted. The country is number nine on the World Watch List.
Death toll escalates among Nigerian Christians
by Sebastian Milbank
Catholics at Mass at St Gabriel’s, Abuja. Nigeria is becoming one of the most deadly countries in which to be a Christian.
Afolabi Sotunde/Reuters
There has been a serious escalation in violence against Christians in Nigeria with thousands kidnapped and hundreds killed in just the last few months.
Multiple reports have recently come out detailing a still-worsening situation amongst Nigeria’s Christian population, especially in Muslim-dominated north of the country where Boko Harem continues to operate with relative impunity.
Nigerian NGO Intersociety, reports that the last four months, January to April, saw a dramatic escalation of violence, as Nigeria “lost no fewer than 1,470 Christians… the highest number recorded since 2014”. These finding were echoed by reports just published by both the US State Department and the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) which describe Nigeria as a “country of particular concern for tolerating severe violations of religious freedom”.
Christian Group Names Nigeria Hot Spot for Persecution #
A report by the U.S-based Christian persecution monitoring group Open Doors shows the number of Christians killed in 2020 increased by 60%, mostly because of Islamic violence against Nigerian Christians.
The study says more than 2,200 of 4,761 Christians killed around the world in 2020 died in Nigeria because of radical Islamists.
Open Doors CEO David Curry says the global focus on battling the coronavirus pandemic last year also contributed to an increase in Christian persecution.
But Nigerian Muslim groups say the report is promoting a false impression.
“Nigerian Christians are not persecuted,” said Ishaq Akintola, director at Muslim Rights Concern. “What is happening in Nigeria is the persecutor crying out and claiming that he is being persecuted, claiming that he is the victim. And it’s because a Muslim is in power that the crying of persecution is so loud.”
Genuinely heartbreaking, and on the holding of power to account by ideologically blinkered media, damning.
IIRC BBC N. America had a correspondent who did sod all, who moved to CNN to ‘cover’ that nation’s beat, and continues his awesome career there in similar fashion.

Well. I caught the fex! Symptoms have been very much like a cold, and certainly nothing like the time I caught it same time two years previous.
Symptoms started with a hacking cough and a few sneezes followed by a woozy feeling in the head and a temperature. It’s lasted a couple of days and hasn’t stopped me doing anything I wanted to do.
I would say it’s been a winter cold, nothing more and it affected me for a couple of days. I know that for some people the symptoms will be much more severe (and more mild too), but I would say for the vast majority it’s nothing to worry about, and I’m not vaccinated either.

Very similar. I had a slightly painful cough a few days ago which lasted around 24 hours, some sneezing, and I think over the entire 3 days or so where I had various “symptoms” the most remedial thing I did was take a couple of dispirins. Pretty much ok today.
And I haven’t had any jabs either. No vaccinations. No booster. No hand bloody ridiculous sanitiser either.
What a con. If we lockdown again it will be absolutely scandalous.

BBC Two, Monday 1 March 2021
The programme discussed a tweet by Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner, congratulating Anas Sarwar on being ‘the first ever ethnic minority leader of any political party anywhere in the UK’.
As there have been a number of Jewish leaders of British political parties, it sought to explore why some official monitoring does not include Jews as an ethnic rather than a religious minority. To be clear, Jews are an ethnic minority recognised in law.

Some people point to Boris’ bout of covid as a turning point from being a Tory to a green lefty.
I reckon it was Carrie.
One of the popular things often repeated by pro lockdown types is that Boris almost died from covid.
Is there any truth in this?
I suspect it’s been very much exaggerated and that he was poorly but not in any real danger.
Many with Flu or a bad cold might say “I felt like I was going to die” but in reality were just feeling lousy.
Getting married and having two kids seems to show he wasn’t as ill as they would like us to believe.

Quite right, MM. When Blair was trying to cover the UK in them back in 1998, I wrote to some Uni expert to enquire about CO2 expended in manufacture. He confirmed a 30 year life expectancy with three years being taken off to ‘pay back’ for the CO2 during manufacture. Think installation may have been extra.

Given that mainland UK is connected together by the National Grid the average carbon intensity of electricity consumed is the same wherever one lives.
Exactly the same as if one were to switch from Smoky Joe Electricity to Squeaky Green Electricity, same electricity, different colour bills.
One could map carbon intensity of electricity generated but that comes down to history and geography, i.e. more hydro in Scotland, more solar in Cornwall etc. but what would be the point?

TWatO Watch #1 – I had to switch it off
There’s definitely something funny going on. The BBC are colluding with the Daily/Sunday Mirror and the Guardian/Observer newspapers to kill Boris Johnson’s career as PM dead by a thousand cuts. They were doing some more excremental stirring (I think excrement is the right word for ‘little by little’) for the second item in the running order so I had to switch off.
Interesting that go-between for the BBC with the Mirror Group and Guardian Group, Laura ‘Part-time’ Kuenssberg, is being shuffled sideways. Is that to avoid the humiliation of Tim Davie being forced into a public sacking?

Time to be controversial, I think. Have another look at the photograph of the “party” which the bbc are touting as their latest scoop. Cheese and wine, it’s hardly Profumo, is it? Notice also that the break in proceedings (We’ve got to eat and drink at some point) has the groups, both on the patio and the lawn, appearing to be making some sort of socially distancing effort, and holding the break out of doors. I’m sure that any keen-eyed viewers will see that A is only 1.873 metres from B.
Another “divide and conquer” tactic is picking out comments saying that anti-vaxxers falling ill should pay for the whole treatment, as it’s all their fault, as are brexit and global warming. I’d love to be a fly on the wall of a hospital (I’m sure there are plenty) in a few years time. “Heart attack and coronary disease? Did you have the vaccine? You did? Oh well, you’ve only got yourself to blame”.
I’m not against or in favour of vaccines. It’s a personal choice and should remain so, in my humble. My vaccine status is, as it should be, my business only.

The BBC is a totally corrupt organisation: but it does have a purpose for the ‘lefties’ who taken taken over (almost) all our nations historic institutions. Its hard to think of anything “positive” about the BBC from any perspective but one instance. And that is the USA success of former BBC (DG) Mark Thompson who promptly resigned when Jimmy Saville and his BBC acquaintances were found systematically abusing children. This lead to the Operation Yew tree by the Met Police and Mark Thompson ran off to America with an ‘award’ payment of £2million* BBC expenses to aid his escape into another prime job at the New York Times….
(quote):
Mark Thompson, now chief executive of The New York Times Co, was testifying for the first time before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, which is investigating payoffs to outgoing BBC executives that exceeded contractual obligations, included a 1 million pound ($1.6 million) deal for his former deputy.
https://www.news.com.au/finance/ex-bbc-director-mark-thompson-defends-large-payoffs/news-story/c46853861eaa0958eefce86920d88962
But its worked out rather well for Mark Thomspon . He seen as a ‘salvation’ and saved the NYT paper, ironically pushing them towards ‘SUBSCRIPTION’ model which could work for the BBC, if they had too.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jul/22/mark-thompson-steps-down-as-chief-executive-of-new-york-times
Mark Thompson was never prosecuted and claimed ignorance of BBC sexual practices.
Note: The New York Times has a largely Guardian readership and the BBC is considered ‘world class’ in being continually ‘public funded’ (an oddity in any other country)- for so long with its (false) ‘liberal label. Liberals don’t really care that they now follow ‘Marxist doctrine’, as they have ‘no memory of any such atrocities’ as that is erased each generation by University ‘higher’ education.
But the New York Times is good at dismantling the American dream. Its aspiration is disconnection from reality into a virtual world of human rights and it is prepared to erase Marxists events and claim that all white men are culpable in racial exploitation going back to 1619 originally claimed in the NYT juste before Mark Thomspon joined them as Chief Editor. Under a cloud, but not fallen but AWARDED!
The BBC never talk about (US) The 1619 project and just talk about ‘BLM’ conformity. Mock ethics based on Marxiist Theory that claims that all white men are serial exploiters (apart from the same white men working in the BBC and the New York Times). So thats all right then.
Why the BBC moved Mark Thompson is now clear
(quote)
“At the heart of nuanced social justice training lies a subset of ideologies most infamously aligned with Critical Race Theory and the Marxist movement. This training is known as the 1619 Project, and the notably Marxist ideologies which support its founding principles would make any well-read scholar write off the project as political doctrine that cannot exist outside the realm of metaphorical fiction. Despite its lack of historical accuracy, the doctrine has been introduced academically and professionally across America. As parents protest the adoption of this material by their local schools, schoolchildren are getting a taste of the true intentions behind the social justice movement.
The 1619 Project was founded by Nikole Hannah-Jones, an American investigative journalist and contributing writer for the New York Times.”
https://libertyscholar.org/the-1619-project/
Reading in the SPECTATOR (11th Dec 2021) under the Biden regime of Black Lives Matter.
Thanks to Biden amnesty, the jails are being emptied and the Police are powerless to arrest suspects that are looting large parts of America. New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland and Philadelphia re becoming no-go zones. Not reported in the US press dues to adoration of the great leader.
Criminals walk out of jail, murder, rioting, mobs looting and violence in America. Murder has doubled and the police are in retreat. Biden’s thinks this is a ‘rebalancing’ and there is nothing to worry about.
No doubt Kamala Harris is sorting out the Mexican illegal immigrant gangs as we don’t read. The US media is still enthrall of Biden’s incompetence. The BBC too, can see no issues.
In some part, Mark Thompson was an ideal candidate to take over the New York Times in 2012. He wears the BBC on his lapel badge. HAs created an all out ‘war against TRUMP’ as soon as he arrived. After three years of (falsified) ‘russian connection’; claimes by the NYT – (which never existed), although Biden has much closer links to China.
Corruption is all around Mark Thompson. HE has left the NYT in much better shape. And now he can return to Britain knowing he will be welcome back at the BBC or lead a new ‘rights’ campaign, perhaps doing the same for The failing Guardian, and able to offer advise to the BBC on how to create a fear campaign blame it all on white men, get the poor to vote for lock-down and come out smelling of roses much richer than the liberal marxist swamp that can never be drained.
Thompson has proved that a BBC subscription can work! The down side is that propaganda will racial culture wars for ever and a society living in fear, the only option is a reboot into global socialism. (now proposed as the great reset environmentally claiming CO2 is dangerous and a series of pandemics’ – all based around flu and colds and false climate predictions.). He never mentions the role of FAUCI, SOROS or GATES in help funding roll out. Propaganda is all to the left. Ignorance is bliss.
Welcome back Mark Thompson, Desert Island Disks awaits at the BBC. Its all worked out rather well for Mark Thompsom, or should, he thank Jimmy Saville?, BBC programs never mention the historical BBC ‘pedophile tendency’ in public. I learn there is a ‘new word’ being used in polite BBC circles, its based on ‘cultural’ UN human rights of certain island nations. Therefore an automatic ‘protected’ characteristic by former PIE network members. Human Rights is often the opposite. i.e no rights at all as diversity trumps all. A BBC liberal media theme.
A big success for the BBC was getting Biden elected in the US. Thanks to Mark Thompson inventing ‘Russian stories’ that could not be proved and creating the myth of ‘global warming’ and creating the ‘global pandemic’ from China polished as ‘truth’ of an emergency that forced goverbemnt to impose ‘emergency funding and vaccination programs’.
They all expire in 2023*. And Pfizer is up to its neck in continuing the pandemic, ‘crazy mess’.
https://conservativeplaybook.com/2021/11/13/researcher-speaks-out-on-pfizer-covid-vaccine-trial-calls-it-a-crazy-mess/
None of the Vaccine drugs are what they seem.
Its a big experiment based on an around sociological ‘compliance’ and (COV)-ID cards. Tony Blair tried to bring in same – during his years in office, they lost office before it could be implemented. Now we are here again by the back door under a so called Conservative government. Which is a liberal policy adopter aligned with Biden who would deny being Marxist and claim to be Liberal ‘progressive’ – much like the BBC does when asked.
Mark Thompson. a ‘liberalprogressive’…
No doubt Gates reads the NYT. Gates is also the second biggest funder of the WEF (DAVOS) which has direct links FAUCI, SOROS and GATEs into global world wide campaigns. One of may fundings to ‘change the world’ to suit the next batch of megalomaniacs and psychopaths. The Great reset. The New World Order.
The Greek letter OMNICROM does not exist. Its based on an anagram called ‘MORONIC’.
You may think its all a ‘coincidence’ but half the population are running for their lives (from seasonal cold).
Mark Thompson, its not all his fault but he is a big part of the mass media conspiracy in the USA.
We’ll be hearing more of Mark Thompson the BBC ‘champion’ that changed the world. and stopped Trump being re-elected. Although most us know that included voter ‘fraud’ going through the US courts. Not that anyone will be prosecuted under Biden.

Laura Kuenssberg to step down as BBC’s political editor
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58996925
.. and a Hi-De-Hi style cheer is heard in the distance.
‘Kuenssberg took over from Nick Robinson in 2015, becoming the first woman to hold the position.’
And once again the BBC talking about it’s own awards as if someone else gave them. It’s the BBC. She got the job because she was a woman.
What I find most offensive about that article though is that all the examples they give of her ‘controversy’ are where she has supposedly been on the side of the political Right !!!. I’ve listened to this woman screech at Tories and speak softly to Labour enough times to know where her loyalties lie. Way over on the Left.

Harry Miller has won his case against the Gestapo preventing them from recording hurty feelings as “non crime hate incidents”.
A victory for free speech and common sense – but will the Gestapo abide by the law, because it cound like they are trying every which way to get around it and carry on as they were.

Nadiya Hussain on the sugar tax, takeaways and Bake Off adverts{bbc.co.uk 10jul2018}
Nadiya Hussain has said she “doesn’t know who the sugar tax is helping”, adding that healthy eating is about taking “personal responsibility”.
The tax, championed by Jamie Oliver, came into effect in the UK in April.
. . . .
“[But] I hope that when people watch [Family Favourites], they can see that they can cook, and eat, and have a family, and still have lots of time to do other things.”
Nadiya’s Family Favourites begins on Monday 16 July on BBC Two.

It was probably Gorka’s own account since he was the first to tweet it

That Times article begins “The Capitol riots stoked interest in American politics,”
..loaded words, tosh
14 Comments mooking like BBC staff wrote most
but
– “This is a BBC press release – where is the analysis?”
– “Why did the Times use that awful photograph of Laura Kuenssberg?
Why would @thetimes run a photo of @bbclaurak who is not a presenter for #Americast rather than Maitlis/Sopel/Zurcher ?”
– “Lord knows why a BBC show about America with its clear liberal bias is popular.
There are plenty of excellent US podcasts.”
– “These “podcasts” have turned the BBC news into a a poor tabloid operation.
The likes of Sopel and Kuenssberg believe themselves to be celebrities and think they are “witty”.
No, it’s all rather tragic, and infantile.
The awfulness of it.”

Dear Winston Smith,
I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.
“Impartiality lies at the heart of public service and is the core of the BBC’s commitment to its audiences. It applies to all our output and services – television, radio, online, and in our international services and commercial magazines. We must be inclusive, considering the broad perspective and ensuring the existence of a range of views is appropriately reflected”

USCIRF Alarmed by Violence against Christians & Shi’a Muslims in Nigeria
Washington, DC – The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) today condemned recent instances of violence against religious communities in Nigeria, including attacks on Christians in Kano state and Kaduna state and violence against Shi’a Muslims in Abuja.
“Vulnerable religious communities in Nigeria are under attack,” said USCIRF Commissioner Tony Perkins. “We are devastated by news of these recent attacks and outraged that the Nigerian government has not done more to prevent this violence and bring justice to the perpetrators.”
On Sunday, September 26 a violent mob in Kano State attacked and killed Christian Reverend Yohanna Shuaibu, in retaliation for his alleged involvement in converting a local member of a Muslim family to Christianity. That same day, armed militants attacked two Christian communities in Kaduna state, killing 49 people. Kaduna State is a Muslim majority state where Christian communities have borne the brunt of a vicious ethnoreligious conflict for many years. On Tuesday, September 28, Nigerian security forces reportedly shot and killed eight Shi’a Muslims in their response to a Shi’a procession marking the holiday of Arbaeen.
“Three attacks on vulnerable religious communities in three days is unacceptable,” said USCIRF Commissioner Frederick A. Davie. “We call on the U.S. Department of State to redesignate Nigeria a country of particular concern for engaging in and tolerating these systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of international religious freedom.”

One Christian killed and at least 60 kidnapped in Nigerian church attack
Your prayers are again desperately needed for our family in Nigeria, following another attack on Christians, this time by a group of bandits. The incident reflects the increasing and shocking impunity with which armed bandits and extremist Islamic militants are wreaking havoc across Nigeria, with Christians often amongst those targeted. The country is number nine on the World Watch List.

Death toll escalates among Nigerian Christians

There has been a serious escalation in violence against Christians in Nigeria with thousands kidnapped and hundreds killed in just the last few months.
Multiple reports have recently come out detailing a still-worsening situation amongst Nigeria’s Christian population, especially in Muslim-dominated north of the country where Boko Harem continues to operate with relative impunity.
Nigerian NGO Intersociety, reports that the last four months, January to April, saw a dramatic escalation of violence, as Nigeria “lost no fewer than 1,470 Christians… the highest number recorded since 2014”. These finding were echoed by reports just published by both the US State Department and the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) which describe Nigeria as a “country of particular concern for tolerating severe violations of religious freedom”.

Christian Group Names Nigeria Hot Spot for Persecution #
A report by the U.S-based Christian persecution monitoring group Open Doors shows the number of Christians killed in 2020 increased by 60%, mostly because of Islamic violence against Nigerian Christians.
The study says more than 2,200 of 4,761 Christians killed around the world in 2020 died in Nigeria because of radical Islamists.
Open Doors CEO David Curry says the global focus on battling the coronavirus pandemic last year also contributed to an increase in Christian persecution.
But Nigerian Muslim groups say the report is promoting a false impression.
“Nigerian Christians are not persecuted,” said Ishaq Akintola, director at Muslim Rights Concern. “What is happening in Nigeria is the persecutor crying out and claiming that he is being persecuted, claiming that he is the victim. And it’s because a Muslim is in power that the crying of persecution is so loud.”

Genuinely heartbreaking, and on the holding of power to account by ideologically blinkered media, damning.
IIRC BBC N. America had a correspondent who did sod all, who moved to CNN to ‘cover’ that nation’s beat, and continues his awesome career there in similar fashion.
