Lord Grade is in line to be the new Chair of OFCOM . Good news?
Surely he knows the group think of the BBC – which is shared by those ex BBC types who hide in OFCOM … and _ elsewhere-for those who like anniversaries – this day is the anniversary of the UK leaving the EU- so be sure the BBC will celebrate that ….

Whoopi Goldberg is facing a backlash after she said on a US talk show that the Holocaust “was not about race”.
The actress and television personality said on ABC’s The View that the Nazi genocide of the Jews involved “two groups of white people”.
Critics pointed out that Hitler himself had vented his hatred of the Jews in racial terms. She later apologised.

Tucker – Trudeau
It is noticeable that the Canadian establishment are not able to rustle up as many paid-for saboteurs at the drop of a hat as e.g. the UK establishment. This is partly because the urban centres and universities in Canada are huge distances apart. Whenever people have an anti-agenda demonstration or rally here in the UK there are always plenty of agents provocateur bussed in along with the hatey antifa types to counter protest. As Tucker says, Canadians aren’t used to these methods.
Is it possible the reason the Met are continuing to investigate is that the Official Secrets Act was breached by these repeated leaks?
I find it incredible there isn’t an internal hunt to get the people responsible and charged.
Very similar to the entire 4 years of Trump’s presidency.

All the news channels are now interviewing joe public on the street to get ‘their reactions’ . If they are on the side of Johnson the interviewer then asks a loaded and negative question, in order to get the response they want. “ok you would vote for the PM, but do you trust him ?”. Oh how I wish they would pick someone with a bit of nous who would say “alright, you tell me what you want me to say !”

Big article on the BBC front page for the passing of this actor. Apparently another luvvie suicide, but the BBC don’t mention that.
What did you say ?. You don’t know who he is ?.
Here he is in character. He’s the one top-right.
Just remember that Tony Selby from ‘Get Some In’ and a list of appearances on British TV as long as your arm was never even mentioned on the BBC.
Sorry Tony. You were the wrong colour for an utterly racist organisation like the BBC.

Oh, dear.
All very understandable. But then, shock horror. The Beeb allowed reality to enter the fray. Without so much as a single viewer discretion notice, an experienced and practical interviewee appeared on the programme, a Mr Robinson, who actually manages 35,000 acres of real land, and said that the most humane method of management is shooting deer, by a trained marksman (or markswoman/marks-both/marks-neither or marks-gender-variable, Oh Lord give me strength before I shoot myself). He only said it. He didn’t actually do it. But that did it, Dear Reader.
It triggered a severe attack of the fainty collapsing eco-horrors in many of the snowflakes watching the programme. One can imagine them, slumped unconscious from distress, in their armchairs, covered in biscuit crumbs and bits of crisps, poor souls. When they recovered enough to put pen and purple ink into their quivering keyboards, their comments in the Express suggest, rather sadly yet again, that care in the community has been an abject and tragic failure.
I creased up…
So far fetched – as if Biden/Obama could string that many words together so quickly … as for peer – spot on …. How did they get elected ( we know ) …

I thought the line about ‘front bench drug taking ‘ had something in it – there was no strong objection from the labour benches …. Maybe they know something we don’t …
The Full Fact website found, in 2020, it had never actually been suggested that Starmer was personally involved in the decision.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said: “The reviewing lawyer at the time set out their own reasons for the decisions they took”.

When I opened Twitter it pushed this at me
“For You : Although Keir Starmer was head of CPS, another lawyer was responsible for Jimmy Savile’s case, Reuters and Full Fact report”
Labour Leader Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2009 when the decision was made not to prosecute TV and radio presenter Jimmy Savile,
but he was not the reviewing lawyer for the case, according to Full Fact and Reuters.
In 2012, Starmer commissioned an investigation to examine the decisions made by the CPS in relation to the allegations of sexual assault by Savile,
which went on to criticise both prosecutors and the police for how they handled the case.
When the report was published, Starmer apologised for “the shortcomings in the part played by the CPS”.

The ‘Full Fact’ fact checkers seem to concentrate extensively on anti-government and anti-Brexit topics.
I did find one about Corbyn in 2017 and to my surprise (not), they came down on his side.
The problem is that there are far more left-wing activists then right-wing activists who are driven to spend their time doing it. Same reason the MSM is generally left-wing because they become reporters in their ideological drive to change the world to be how they think it should be. People on the Right tend to be real-world, practical people who go out and deal with the world instead. I suspect it’s a left/right brain thing.
Whenever I ‘fact check’ a fact-checker from Snopes, their twitter feed shows me they are almost always left-wing activists with a long list of anti-Trump tweets and the like. Full Fact don’t give their names so they can’t be held to account – but I fully expect they are the same type of people.
And of course they tend to only choose to investigate ‘facts’ which suit them and their eternal left-wing agenda – with a few others thrown in as a smokescreen.
Marvellous, innit ?
Boris Johnston, as Prime Minister must be held accountable – personally – and pilloried for everything that happened in the Downing Street offices for multiple civil service groups….. because…well, he’s the head of that office…. claims Starmer.
But Keir Starmer cannot be held responsible, as Director for Public Prosecutions for any actions taken by people reporting through to him….
No hypocrisy there, then, Mr Starmer – and all your supporters in the MSM (with the BBC heading the charge, of course).
Richard, you hit the nail on the head.

Steve Coogan to play Jimmy Savile in BBC One drama
Published26 September 2021
‘They involved a clear pattern in which groups of adult men befriended children, plying them with drink and drugs before sexually abusing them over months.’
A BBC lie by omission. The KEY facts behind ALL the grooming gangs is that they are Muslim Pakistani adult men. The two keywords do not appear anywhere in the report.
It will be gone from the front page within hours.
The agenda is everything to these fascist far-Left scumbags. They don’t care one bit what happens to the country in the process.

Why do so many of us believe in quackery and conspiracy? In his guide to thinking better, Professor Steven Pinker tries to make sense of the senseless.
Steven is joined by Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and the author, most recently, of ‘The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of the Truth’ and by Ellen Cushing, Senior and Special Projects Editor at The Atlantic. What was it that finally convinced her that there isn’t really a global organisation communicating in cryptic symbols and masterminding world events by planting agents in governments and corporations.

Boris is only acting conservative – Red Meat and BBC sparks – it will disappear if he can remove it.
It’s an excellent time for any Conservative MP’s seeking fame for their future career at the moment.
All they have to do is say ‘Boris should resign’ and they will get a full paragraph + mug shot on the BBC.
Remainer ‘Gary Streeter’ is the latest.
Media including GBNews have not been interested in the Southend West by-election. Why would that be? Because they want to minimise the chance of someone other than Lib/Lab/Con/Grn being elected perhaps?
I turned on radio 4 at 3 pm to catch a few snippets of news.
The first three words I heard were ‘ethnically diverse communities’.
Amazing. What are the chances of that?
We on this site all know the answer when it comes to the right-on, Leftoid race-baiters at the BBC.
Which is more important?
The systematic failure of the police and councils to investigate child grooming gangs.
Or
Boris having a drink in his own garden.
For the Jimmy Savile employing BBC it’s no contest.
And don’t forget that the BBC KNEW about Savile but chose to ignore it. I remember Wogan saying he was asked by a reporter when the BBC would ‘out’ him and Wogan replied ‘Isn’t that your job ?’.
Think about it : the BBC and their media allies knowingly allowed children to be raped and abused to protect themselves. And they have done the same for the grooming gangs. That is the kind of people we are talking about.
And now those same people are trying to crucify Boris to stop Brexit.
Ethically barren, lying scum.
A free ride for black racists it seems (and the bbc)
EXCLUSIVE – ‘Why is there one rule for Whoopi and another for everyone else?’ Staffers’ fury at ABC’s ‘anti-Semitic blind spot’ for not firing Goldberg over her claim the Holocaust ‘wasn’t racist’ – as #FireWhoopi hashtag spreads
Whoopi Goldberg has not been disciplined by ABC News over her Holocaust claims
On Monday, she claimed the Holocaust was not ‘about race’ because Nazis and Jews were both white
She then doubled down on the claim on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Whoopi posted an apology on Twitter claiming she stood ‘corrected’ – but many are refusing to accept it
They say she should be fired like Sharon Osborne was from CBS or like Roseanne Barr was from ABC
One senior ABC News source told DailyMail.com staff are ‘livid’ and that the network has an ‘anti-Semitic blind spot’
ABC has not yet commented on Whoopi’s remarks; she is due to appear on The View again at 11am Tuesday

Whoopi gets a pass: The View host returns to the air to apologize for claiming Holocaust wasn’t racist and interviews Anti-Defamation League CEO about why she was ‘wrong’ but gets to keep her job despite growing demands to #FireWhoopi
Same as Jo Brand got a free pass by the BBC after recommending someone throw battery acid over Farage.
The Left are shameless hypocrites with the most disgusting double standards. This is at the front of my mind now whenever I hold my nose and read their articles to look for their lies.
The media is agog with the stories of some Police banter which they appear to believe should be banned and only sterile transactional converation allowed when they are on duty.
It is of course yet another of the tiresome left wing attacks on Policing and law and order with the aim of producing anarchy.
The old phrase that we can sleep soundly in our beds because rough men are prepared to deal violence on our behalf, comes tro mind.
If the fact that rough men are rough offends the sensibilities of the effite Islingon set then let them defend their property and families from the criminals themselves and show us all how it should be done.
We can see from the effects of the lunatic left in Democrat controlled cities in America what that breakdown of law and order means to real life citizens, and that is what they want for us. Alas the cowardly useless incompetent Tories will never do anything to stop them and the Red Labour party will always support criminality ahead of law & order.
On the BBC Today programme this morning….. after moaning throughout the past two weeks about how the government was so distracted by ‘Partygate’ that they could not function as a government, and were too obsessed by ‘Partygate’ to do their ‘day job’… (not that the BBC has ben so obsessed by ‘Partygate’ that they spent an average of only about one minute out of ten or fifteen each morning that they have had a government minister on the ‘Today’ programme , actually discussing their ministerial remit, the BBC being itself utterly focussed on nothing but ‘Partygate’.
…fast forward to today, and the BBC can only find people to interview who disagree with government policies being brought forward last week and this, to deal with multiple issues facing the country (none of which happened overnight, of course, and the BBC knows it)…. but now the government is only doing its ‘day job’ to ‘cover’ for the PM.
Who’s trying to ‘have their cake and eat it now’, then, BBC ?
Hypocrites, much ?
The BBC are thrashing around hopelessly on the back foot.
“No evidence for Boris Johnson’s claim about Keir Starmer and Jimmy Savile” (and the BBC) they bellow in support of their idol.

Meet the BBC Three TV announcers: ‘People want to hear their mate’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/534c657a-7023-4a94-9dd0-f1763397fd27
The BBC have 23 “continuity announcers” or people hired to say “Next we have… etc.
They are to add another 10 younger announcers which begs they question of how many do they bloody need and who will be paying for it? certainly not the “yoof” they are aiming this at who never go anywhere near the BBC.
Even a cursory look at BBC Three schedules appear to show it caters mainly to the classical music scene so they won’t be hearing much about their mates there then!
They also manage to insult the older listeners who do tune in with…
Christie Reynolds is one of the final 10. She’s from Liverpool and is 22 years old.
“It’s so important for people to hear our voices and think: ‘She sounds like me’,” she says.
Omah Howard, 21, who’s also joining the team, agrees:
“People want to hear their mate rather than their granddad.”
The BBC is rather like the Titanic, huge, almost impossible to turn when danger looms and doomed.
It all smells of utter desperation!
The BBC hit their iceberg when they threw away any pretence of impartiality during Brexit and is slowly sinking. It may take a few years, but they are now doomed. Their increasing desperation is their response – like spiteful schoolboys who smash their toys after being reprimanded. They cannot change.

BBC Reality Check has examined Boris Johnson’s claim that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile when he was director of public prosecutions (DPP) and has found no evidence that Sir Keir was involved at any point in the decision not to charge Savile.
The Labour leader called Mr Johnson’s comments a “ridiculous slur” and they have been criticised by the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Boris Johnson “stands by” his comments, according to the prime minister’s official spokesperson, who declined to repeat them.
Mr Johnson had said that Sir Keir “spent most of his time [as DPP] prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile”.
He made the unfounded claim, which has been discredited before, in the House of Commons where “parliamentary privilege” gives MPs certain legal protections over what they say.
