    “Drivers face £35bn tax bill to plug the gap as switch to electric cars hits revenue

    Fuel duty is spent on schools, hospitals and other priorities such as the police
    But at present drivers of electric cars pay no fuel duty nor vehicle excise duty
    Government urged to have a ‘conversation’ with drivers on new ways to be taxed
    The report recommends ‘road pricing’ which would charge drivers per car trip”

    TWatO Watch #1 – what the BBC are not telling you compared with what they are telling the listener

    What Jonny Dymond, who seems well equipped to take over from the departed and un-missed Chief Sneerleader at the BBC, Mark Mardell, was saying is that Downing Street and the PM are in a state of chaos after another ‘aide’ resigned today.

    What Jonny, I guess, is not telling you is that the PM being a generous sort, and desperate to be loved by anyone and everyone, gave the Civil Servants involved in suckering him into ‘Partygate’ a chance to resign before they were sacked. Instead, the BBC’s Jonny Dymond ‘tarred & feathered’ Boris Johnson with the same sort of labels the BBC had previously reserved for Donald Trump.

    I switched off twice in protest. The second time only a few minutes after the first saving of electricity. I have saved more since then for the rest of the programme.

    BBC local news
    “Hull Crown Court a *man* has been convicted & sentenced for causing the death of a motorcyclist
    RAF serviceman George Ellis, 27 was biking with his dad.
    The car driver had been stuck in a traffic queue and in an inpatient bid to get out of this, without checking his path, drove straight into George, knocking him into the road, who died a short time later.

    The driver has got a 4-month SUSPENDED sentence for 18 months,
    a community order, 200 hours of community service,
    a 6 month curfew and disqualified from driving for 2 years for causing death by careless driving.

    OK he ‘s escaped jail even though he killed someone
    Is he an innocent driver ?
    No, he had no valid car insurance and had racked up 17 penalty points on his driving license the previous year.

    Name ? Costel Matei, 26
    It was not mentioned that this is a Romanian name.

      Get Mayors? That buffon and ender od live Burnham (to the ground) is costing the average ratepayer an extra £200 on their bill every year to finance his failure.

      The Mayors were created by Socialist Workers Party Affiliate David Cameron in order to hand control of the Police in every major city in Britain to his beloved Labour party.

      It’s much the same way as he handed the Labour supporting Mirror group control of nearly all the nations regional press, in spite of advice not to do so from monopolies and mergers he over ruled them and allowed Mirror group take over.

        Real or imagined: Racism ‘fear’ over Rotherham child abuse
        By Katie Hall
        BBC News Online

        Published27 August 2014

        A “taboo” subject, “ignoring a politically inconvenient truth”, threatening “community cohesion”, “fear of being thought racist”.

        The report which revealed the abuse of more than 1,400 children in Rotherham – mainly by men of Pakistani heritage – found many reasons why the shocking scale of child sexual exploitation in the South Yorkshire town remained hidden.

    ‘No 10 denies Boris Johnson has lost control after raft of resignations’

    Possibly the most pointless and meaningless headline I’ve seen this year. And that’s saying something with the BBC these days.

    ‘BBC denies director-general rapes little boys’ is about the same in terms of journalistic quality.

    It would be wonderfully ironic if the end result of this BBC vendetta were to be the removal of remainers from the list of ministers and the abolition of the license fee.

    James had a key role in bBC Scotland (32million white elephant) launch and ,in particular, its evening news flagship ( their words)
    called THE NINE.

    Sadly, viewing figures for this flagship declined rapidly to the point where they are so low they cannot be counted.

    Like all these public funded organisations…failure cannot be tolerated so lets just promote them.

    bBC also declined to reveal his salary saying if it is above £150k
    it will be revealed in their annual report.

    MESSAGE to Ms Dorries..make them lower that bar to £75k flush out more of the overpaid rascals.

They know that the Scots might well one day vote for independance and if they have a ready made sympathetic operation which could be turned into RRG; Reich Broadcasting Corporation then they might just manage to hold onto their empire and influence.

      Let us not forget the links both the SNP and the BBC both have to Hitlers Nazi party and the fact the SNP still celebrate their Nazi Activist founder (Note activist not sympathiser) Arthur Donaldson.

            Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),

            As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.

            Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

            ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

            CAS-4987700-SY1FTF : BBC NewsWatch says boredom with pro-Brexit march.

            Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.

            Cheers,

        I still find it highly amusing that the Left desperately try to claim claim the ‘National Socialist German Workers’ Party’ (Nazi) were far-right.

        I see similarities with them and the Left/BBC with all their propaganda lies, supression of dissenting opinions (ie fascism) and intolerance of different viewpoints everywhere.

        They despise their ideological enemies on the right and we would be persecuted with the same hatred as socialists have done throughout history if they had total power.

      After hearing loads of stuff about ‘cost of living crisis ‘ including the now famed claim about eating toothpaste instead of food – I thought the hyper socially aware broadcasting staff at the BBC would donate – sat 20% of their income to ‘food banks ‘ or some energy charity ……
      I’m sure they’d all be eager – perhaps they donate part of pensions too ….

      In the real world I suppose the BBC narrative will be to blame the red Tory government for every upward price pressure .the failure of the UK to have an energy policy is the fault of the political class – it was either incompetence or corruption which has put us in the place we are now .

      You might notice no politician – apart from the likes of John redwood – is pushing for an intelligent plan for the UK to be self deficient – instead it is crap nut nut green stuff …

    Two black kids fighting with a big knife and a sword on a bus in London.

    Personally I can’t see anything wrong with this kind of behaviour, and neither can Saddiq Khan or Cressida Dick (no arrests have been made naturally).

    As we know from the voice of the Gods which control the Left (BLM) after the police shooting of knife wielding Ma’Khia Bryant BLM told us Teenagers have been having fights, including fights involving knives, for eons,” meaning a very long time. “We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene

    Clearly Black kids stabbing each other to death is a natural part of their culture and their growing up we should perhaps provide them with a safe space (safe for everyone else) in order to do it to each other.

    Perhaps we could find a use for one of the Olympic stadia and sell tickets to offset any costs, and of course any kind of Police intervention would not be allowed as that would be ‘waycist’. SO pretty much business as usual there then.

    A cover up in plain site now and part of the election fraud, if the people had known this… :
    The FBI, Facebook and Twitter did NOT want to know…….

    “Hunter Biden’s ‘disgusting’ laptop: Computer repairman reveals what made him call FBI”

    “I could definitely tell that he was inebriated,” said John Paul Mac Isaac, the former owner of “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware. Mac Isaac told Fox Nation that Hunter entered his shop on April 12, 2019, just before closing time.

    “When I asked for his last name, there was a long pause. And he kind of sarcastically added Biden. I had to ask Hunter for his password. And he started laughing. He was like, you’re not really gonna like this.”

    What began as a simple computer repair soon turned into a troubling revelation, an “astounding” and “disgusting” volume of homemade pornography. In addition, Mac Isaac also uncovered a PDF indicating that Hunter had made $1.2 million for Burisma, a private energy company in Ukraine.

    After researching Burisma and the contents of the laptop, John realized it was time to contact the authorities. Mac Isaac met with FBI agents, but they seemed to be in no rush to look into the laptop or take action.

    “I think that was my first indication that maybe the FBI was more interested in returning the laptop to the former owner and protecting the Bidens than they were protecting me or getting this to the proper channel,” he said.

    So, Mac Isaac changed his strategy. That is when he came in contact with Bob Costello, Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. The rest is history. The laptop became an item of interest across the political spectrum. But, just prior to the 2020 presidential election, Big Tech decided to censor its contents.

    Facebook said they were waiting on fact-checkers (who never came) to verify the authenticity of the laptop. Meanwhile, Twitter blocked a New York Post article link breaking down the contents of the laptop from being shared. The Post’s account was even temporarily banned from the platform.

    Boris under fire. Can someone advise Boris to wear clothes that make him appear like a Prime Minister rather than dress up in overalls and a high viz jacket. He is not a member of the working class and looks stupid in these photo ops.

      Boris is a shell which needs a rudder.

      If he’d kicked NutNut into touch when she screamed at him for spilling wine on the sofa, Cummins would still be there and he would have dealt with all of this before it was news.

      The problem is this : the same forces who can depose Boris on something as insignificant as ‘partygate’ will apply their same influence to get a remainer into No 10. And they will do it without any consideration of whether the people want it or not.

      For that reason alone, Boris must stay.

    Jimmy Carr is trendng cos he made a gypsy holocaust joke

    There is a quick part 2 that those shouting outrage don’t quote the second part
    Here’s the full clip https://youtu.be/crdaGolaBxY

    SPOILER : here’s the contexts

    Intro He precedes it with
    “This should be a career ender. OK, strap in, everyone – you ready?”
    .. .. Joke
    big pause for effect

    Part II “It’s a very good joke (sic) for the following reasons.
    #1 “f’ing funny. Well done me”
    #2 Edgy, edgy. It’s a joke abut the worst thing that has ever happened .. people say “never forget”
    Well this is how I remember .. I keep bringing it up
    #3 There is an educational quality
    .. Everyone knows six million Jewish …
    but a lot of people don’t know .. that that the Nazis also killed, in their thousands, Gypsies, homosexuals, disabled people and Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

      Interesting audience reaction – I’ve been watching some of the Ricky Gervais stuff on you tube – I suppose certain stand ups think this sort of stuff is okay –
      I notice mr Carr left out other group murdered by the nazis – poles – Russians – a variety of ‘sub humans ‘ whose existence was no longer required ….

      Wonder if he tells jokes about Muslims ?

      • StewGreen says:

        The audience reaction is laughter, cos they understand his train of thought, that of course he doesn’t think Gypsy Holocaust was a positive.
        and the audience also know that the outside world wouldn’t understand that
        so it’s a kind of in joke.

        Thirdly, commenters say Carr has been telling that one for years
        so it is ironic libmob are only outraged now.

    I think the BBC are totally skewered on this one and so will send it to room 101.

    They don’t seem to realise how many people have rumbled their despicable untruths and are fuming mad.

    Their time is running out for the honest folk in this country.

    The BBC operate on a W1 judgement that the majority of the population are too thick to reason things out so need the BBC to tell them what they should think.

    Marr is a committed and self confessed big issue seller level communist (humanity student) so anything he can do to kill off Boris is justified in his bleak totalitarian Mickey Mouse World. (They all are so thick they don’t see that level headed people can see right through it too!)
