Despite Big Tech’s massive censorship and algorithm-bias, there are plenty of images and videos of peaceful demonstrators happily congregating and even dancing in Ottawa. (Click link https://fb.watch/a_pOtRweg5/)
So which image does the unbiased BBC choose to illustrate its report on the truckers?
Alan Dershowitz Interview
News Channel and BBC World News, Wednesday 29 December 2021
The interview with Alan Dershowitz after the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict did not meet the BBC’s editorial standards, as Mr Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst, and we did not make the relevant background clear to our audience. We will look into how this happened.
We referred to George Floyd’s death as occurring during an encounter with white police officers. The officer who knelt on his neck is white, but two of the other three involved are not.
Avanetti, the anti-Trump lawyer, was lionised by the Democrat media (see below). Now he is found guilty of crime of an especially seedy nature. Yet Rogan invites on eminent dissenter researchers with excellent track records, and the left erupts, wanting Rogan cancelled. 🙄 https://t.co/sGlgVyReSf
“The left erupting, wants Joe Rogan cancelled”
It’s ironic that all media fawned over Avenatti in 2018
but the one show he wasn’t on was …. Joe Rogan
He was on Tucker, but Tucker ripped him apart.
OK there are some context issues there
#1 Avenatti’s downfall didn’t happen now,
It happened in July 2021 with his jailing for defrauding Nike
(Jail that has been put off *due to Covid* FFS)
That’s when Tucker put out the video that that tweet rips off
.. https://youtu.be/VJtnl_lzIS4
#2 The new news is that he will serve extra jail time
after a jury yesterday convicted him of defrauding Stormy Daniels.
… BTW Further extortion cases against him are in process
#3 “seedy” ? Nah, he straight forward forged her signature and stole her book advance money, and told her i hadn’t come yet.
It is also true that this time MSM only put out the odd short item
whereas Fox and Newsmax were there straight after the verdict doing long items which are on YouTube.
“bur Labour say the government’s measures don’t go far enough !”
… That’s the news programmes’ catchphrase
.. That they could shout out whatever the topic.
Surprisingly but interesting to read on Sky News that certain Tory ministers loyal to the PM are openly saying that they believe there is a remainer clique in the party desperately trying to tople the PM….
Nothing on the BBC because I dare say they are in cahoots with the same said clique.
Boris at chequers this weekend, something tells me he is going to come out fighting..
Local BBC news this morning came from the normal school playground and was read by the normal school bully gang
I paraphrase
#1 “That fat Boris from Tory College he smells, even Gibb says he’s not going to be his friend now !”
#2 “That Diana Johnson from Labour Institute we like her, she’s so pretty !
She says that there is a chance that the Hull railway might be electrified after all.”
They kept alternating between the beginning the news with those two headlines all day.
Even week there are always a few Diana Johnson clips
Last night’s BBC local news : had the rail item with a different speaker
but Diana Johnson and Emma Hardy were in the background all the time , taking selfies.
====
Lincoln Soldiers return from mission in Mali
.. It was not mentioned that they were fighting Muslim rebels there.
===========
4 Hull students have been a sustainability living week
.. sure this was in another item before
student “I’ll be making sure I turn lights off ” ..Wow what an achiever !
==============
“And now viewers comments, but they are far too sensible and anti-green-dream so we’ll rush through them”
======================
Saturday’s local news
A rushed 5 minutes of padding made up of items that were on the radio a few days ago
==================
Sunday’s local EVENING news is on at 3:20pm
..That’s a bit early.
Salty’s colourful take on developments in Canada, namely the latest GoFu**Me shenanigans and a car attack on the truckers – as not reported by the biased BBC.
Salty is a bit over-stating as usual
The establishment are holding back info and taking very long
So it’s still impossible to say whether it was
a drunk or a terrorist etc.
Eventually about 24 hours after the incident, yesterday the police held a briefing
They said they had caught the guy soon after and listed the charges
however they held back from naming him .saying “the charges have not been formerly sworn to, yet”
.. https://youtu.be/jaT1CBcIJCE
Of course authorities wouldn’t want to provoke a violent kickback from convoy supporters etc.
Many here will remember the series Colditz BBC 1972, just re watching it and remembering what life was like back then, but as I come to the end it feels increasing like the end of Boris’s time as PM.
Thoughtful
Colditz ( around 1974 ? ) was on ‘talking pictures ‘ not so long ago . It has aged pretty well . I don’t see a parallel . I think the media (bbc ) is trying to depict nut nut as ‘in the bunker ‘ –
– I have fallen for that but think it is wrong because he has more support than the msm suggests – and he is a tough cookie .
I say this despite thinking that we could do better as far as PMs is concerned but the stakes are far higher than just him as an individual …
I disagree. I think that the media are lying to us about how much resentment there is to Boris. Most people broke lockdown rules at some point and in other news, the media say lockdown didn’t prevent much at all anyway. I think people aren’t that bothered about it. Certainly on the scale of importance, it’s right at the bottom.
Their problem now is that if Boris survives, they have shot their bolt. That’s why the are increasingly desperate. Lucky for them Cummins has gone because the payback would have been ruthless. But even so, Boris can now justly replace the remainers he appointed for political reasons with Brexiteers.
Whether he will or not is another matter. But this has the possibility of being the biggest own-goal the BBC ever scored.
Quite coincidentally BookFace have just revealed a massive loss of equity along with collapsing use of their platform by public and therefore advertisers.
Unable to add two and two together they blame Apple for no longer allowing Facebook to rifle through the browsing history of visitors and therefore rendering FB less able to serve up relevant ads and thus losing advertisers.
Nothing of course to do with their nazi style blocking of anything remotely Republican and especially President Trump.
Any sane person can figure out that there are millions of ex Facebook users who didn’t agree and so took action against the brazen left wing actions that Facebook decided to take.
Crash and burn I say and hopefully in this Country, the BBC, Guardian and Independent will surely follow.
They all have one thing in common, a blind ambition to cancel anyone who doesn’t think like them.
Good luck with that!
Maybe 2022 will be the era of the beginning of the extinction of these unsavoury dinosaurs.
So, last night Mrs Voter and I got home from a quiz, and she watched the Grand Opening of the Communist Olympics (she’d recorded it earlier), anyway the Mostly Black and Bent Broadcasting Corporation were gushing over the ceremony, flashing lights, fireworks, even more flashing lights, lasers and other such electrical special effects. Not one word said about where the leccy was coming from. I’ll give you a clue, it didn’t appear to be windy and it was dark, must have been produced using unicorn crap.
I take it the geographic distribution of infections still isn’t announced … I do wonder if stats will ever be truthful enough to be meaningful in terms of types of people affected by the Chinese virus as well as the areas of the country most affected .
Certainly if there is a racial aspect to infection that will be suppressed unless there is a political propaganda gain to be had by socialists such as BBC editors …
I’m a sucker for ‘make over ‘ programmes so have just caught up with BBC2’s Your Garden Made Perfect. Well, I know prices have risen but I sat open mouthed when the budget for a small garden was £25,000 ! Jeez, it wasn’t that long ago when for that money you could expect a good single storey brick extension, and we’re talking a bit of paving and a few plants on this show. Even worse the final budget was £32,000 ! So, does half this money pay for the ‘designers’ on the programme because I don’t see a lot for the money spent. Or is it me.
Ooooooh can’t have coal-gasification development
. that’s a fossil fuel …
We have to pretend we are leading the world in abandoning fossil fuels, however practical and low CO2 they are.
Local paper is as bad as the BBC, cos the staff are in some grand centre 100 miles away they know nothing about the area and constantly mix things up.
Often they don’t appreciate that Scunthorpe and Grimsby are two completely different areas.
But from one Grimsby story I see something
They have a story about a police woman who has been sacked for making a false complaint against a male colleague.
The paper are not clever enough to explain that the woman 24 is a Special (volunteer) and that he is a full time officer.
She complained, oh this strange officer had sent her an explicit video of himself.
They asked her if she’d been in a relationship with him
She said no . Then they got texts she’d sent to someone else saying she’d dumped him. (the officer).
“Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.”
Author Peter Schweizer demonstrates that the Biden Crime Syndicate received at least $31 million from Chinese officials with ties to top levels of Chinese Intelligence.
But it gets worse: The CCP has successfully pulled off what they call “elite capture” of numerous institutions in America.
Will the BBC investigate and report this huge story, or will they keep shielding their favourite crook in the White House?
PETER HITCHENS: If we get revolutionary Sir Keir Starmer for a decade, we’ll look at Boris Johnson’s years as a Golden Age
“I don’t like Johnson. In fact, I think he is terrible. But here’s why I won’t join in. Because things could be a lot worse.
By the end of his time in office, Major was just a target. Cartoonists drew him wearing his underpants outside his trousers or as a corpse surrounded by bluebottles. I can’t even remember the petty supposed scandal that dogged him through his final years.
But there was no arguing about it. He was doomed.
And then remember what happened when we got rid of him. The Blair Revolution irreversibly changed the country for the worse, breaking up the nation itself, raping its constitution, spending great piles of money we did not have to remarkably little effect on the public services he was supposed to be saving.
The whole nature of life changed. The remnants of Christianity were bulldozed aside to make a new official religion of Equality and Diversity. Marriage and the traditional family were turned into eccentricities. The futile and damaging expansion of the universities raised the school leaving age to 21.
It also put a generation in debt without actually producing more educated people. We developed the national habit of hurling ourselves into foreign wars where we had no business. These idealistic conflicts did nothing but harm.
At the same time we gave up defending ourselves from our real enemies. A bloody terrorist dined with the Queen at Windsor Castle. And all because we thought it was time for a change and joined in with the jeering crowd.
Well, here it comes again. Do you have any idea who Keir Starmer really is? Did you know he belonged to a Marxist faction, obsessed with Green policies and sexual revolution, well into his adulthood – and has never said he was wrong?
Do you really think all revolutionaries look like Jeremy Corbyn? No, they look like Starmer and Blair and Mandelson, and it is that lot who are now back in the saddle in the Labour Party.
Here’s a simple thing for you to ponder. Starmer has very little chance of getting a majority at the next Election. His only realistic route to No10 is by forming some sort of pact with Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP. She will demand a new referendum in return and Scotland could be gone from the Union within a couple of years.
So Labour needs to devise a way to stay in office after Scotland has gone. Votes at 16? Very likely. But I think they will also want to push through major electoral reforms (the SNP won’t mind helping, they’ve done the same themselves).
And who will be surprised if those reforms mean there is a permanent majority at Westminster for the hard Left, the sort of people who, if in power now, would have us all muzzled and locked down for the rest of our lives?
Ten years of that and you’ll be looking back on these times as a kind of Golden Age.”
Labour MP Jess Phillips is laughing all the way to the bank after Have I Got News for You performance earns her £15,000
Her constituents may struggle to pay their heating costs in the coming weeks – but Labour frontbencher Jess Phillips is likely to have few concerns about her own bills.
The MP for Yardley in Birmingham received an astonishing £15,000 to present a single edition of BBC1’s Have I Got News For You.
The 40-year-old, who has lamented that it’s ‘awful to hear people on the doorstep saying, “You politicians are all in it for yourselves,” ’ hosted the show on December 10
Her bumper payment arrived in time for Christmas and is recorded in the Register of Members’ Interests, which states it was in return for a mere 12 hours’ work
‘Scriptwriters start writing Monday lunchtime and finish on Thursday night. Normal recording time is about two to two-and-a-half hours.’
Maybe Jess was mistaken – or perhaps she thought her constituents in Birmingham would find the idea of about £1,000 per hour more palatable than £7,500 per hour for presenting the show.
Call me old fashioned, but with Camilla being allowed to be Queen to Charles when Her Maj pops off, what does that say to citizens who believe that the proposed Head of The Church of England never kept to the rules when he was married to Diana?
When ‘religion’ keeps so many people on their toes these days, you’d hope that both the RC and CofE communicants could be able to stand up as truthful opponents to Islam and all its tawdry foreign bolt-ons.
Charles was reported as philandering lots of his time before and after marrying Diana, and Camilla seems to have been doing the same to her old man, who was also ‘at it’ – and no I don’t have proof, as I’m a normal citizen, but if I was taught anything when I was a kid, it was that the Queen was in charge of the church, and BTW, ‘take my advice, don’t go putting it around’, because it’s not within church rules!
If we’re supposed to be fighting this dreadful, murdering bunch of ‘religious’ islamists, then surely the GB example should be to strengthen our own religious foundations, not weaken them?
Mybe a BBC ‘Thought for the day’ could challenge all this, but expect nothing of any importance, as they’re certainly part of the problem with their liberal gushings at ‘diversity’ and other rubbish.
Labour Remainer MP Neil Coyle is suspended from House of Commons bars after launching a foul-mouthed anti-Brexit rant at an aide
Labour MP suspended from House of Commons bars after he ‘foul-mouthed rant. Staunch Remainer Neil Coyle, 43, accused of bawling ‘f**k you’ at a Labour aide
The aide was berated after he claimed Brexit had worked out ‘fine’ for the UK
And when a Tory MP tried to intervene to calm the row, Mr Coyle allegedly replied: ‘F**k off and lose some weight.’
Zephir – ‘drinking in the workplace ?’ Perhaps in our puritan times it is time to close the bars in the Palace of Westminster – subsidised booze for subsidised politicians .
I have been invited into a few of the more ‘public bars ‘ – and my nose just smelt entitlement and corruption in the ‘club ‘ …
Maybe a side effect of the number 10 Garden nonsense will be closure – but I am sure they will look after themselves – as they always do .
I hope this incident is treated as a ‘criminal ‘ one – again applying the high horse attitude of enemies of nut nut / brexit …
Official and media fascination with pointless and what are 50% likely to be duff statistics continues in 95% of the realms of human endeavour: ‘Ukraine tensions: US sources say Russia 70% ready to invade Ukraine‘ (BBC)
One assumes the experts have been using their computer military modelling forecasts to advise the politicians and public. Speaking of military modelling, is Airfix still a thing? Or has it been bought out by the Chinese?
Speaking of forecasts, my layman’s theory is that this statistical tendency spread initially from our weather forecasters. Ignoring cloud formations, sea weed, etc, these days I will look at the weather app on my phone and be informed it is 80% likely to rain at a certain hour. I take an umbrella, knowing in my heart that should it remain dry and I dare challange the app makers I would be told – sorry, they were quite correct – I was in the 20% bracket of probability.
So don’t be surprised if the Ruskies aren’t 70% ready to invade.
‘You’ll need a tank division to drag me out of Downing St, Johnson tells allies‘ (Sunday Times) – luckily for Boris, Britain probably doesn’t have one of those anymore. Given the financial squeeze, I’d guess it’s 75% likely we don’t. And if we did it would only be 30% ready.
Perhaps we ought to worry? If the Daily Star is to be believed Britain can’t keep a military secret: ‘Plan for Her Maj “to quit within year”…. We can reveal military chiefs have been ordered to prepare…‘ – Wait for it… winter steppe camo off, red-white-blue bunting on, 2-3-4!
‘Orf to her bed‘ – is the Star’s slightly disrespectful main headline. Perhaps Her Maj fancies some of this civil service-style working from home furlough she’s been hearing so much about?
‘Royal revelation. Camilla will be Queen‘ – claims the Mirror.
‘Duchess should be given the title, says Her Majesty on the day of Platinum Jubilee‘ (Telegraph)
I hope she has cleared that with Carrie?
‘Carrie uncovered: The explosive book by LORD ASHCROFT that’s set Westminster alight – including a close friend’s claim that “Carrie is the reason Boris has squandered the chance to become a great Prime Minister”‘ (Daily Mail)
Our Princess Nut Nut has her fans and supporters in the press: ‘Carrie Johnson: puppet master of Downing Street – or easy target?‘ (Guardian) – that claim not being based on Lord Ashcroft’s book but rather on the general Guardianista instict and outlook: ‘Some argue Boris Johnson’s wife is pulling the strings at No 10 but others note that claims contain more than a whiff of sexism‘
Ah, sexism versus feminism. We’ve been fighting that battle almost as long as the Calcutta Cup has been contested. By the way, has the BBC rechristened it Kolkata Cup yet? Dare I use the word christened?
We interrupt this press review for a quick sports report from BBC Pidgin service on the Winter Olympics: ‘Only five African kontris go dey represented for di Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics‘ – Cool Runnings.
Where were we? Ah, feminism. The Sunday Telegraph seeks to grab our attention: ‘Get your kit off. Women are turning their backs on bras‘ – first I’ve heard of it. Could this be the government nudge unit planting press stories again? Are they keen to preserve short-supply and vital elastic stocks for NHS PPE?
‘Carrie Uncovered‘ – shouts the Mail on Sunday trumpeting their exclusive on the Ashcroft book.
‘Greenflation nation‘ – observes the Telegraph – ‘Why the price of net zero is too high to pay‘
From my conservative standpoint I find lefty world leaders rather ridiculous. There’s Canada’s Justin Black-&-White-Minstrel-Show Trudeau who I regard as a bit of a plank. A chicken who runs away and hides from protest. Kiwi horse toothed Jacinda Ardern I view as a prissy primary school marm.
The Left however, go for broke. From their point of view Right-leaning leaders are literally Hitler.
Emma Smith in the Sunday Observer goes Shakespearean on the PM’s ass: ‘Johnson could be Falstaff: carnal, cheerful, pragmatic. But beneath lies something venal‘ – and she don’t refer to Carrie.
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The point toward Boris’s neck?
The ‘article’ is one day old and clearly out of date.
You would expect someone from the hallowed bBC to be keeping half an eye on the situation, but all we get is regurgitated propaganda from the Canadian press.
This – as with everything else it seems – is either (a) deliberate collusion to distort and/or omit the facts or (b) laziness or stupidity on the part of the beeboids.
Perhaps the bBC is just planning to use (b) as its excuse come the final reckoning.
“We are sorry but all the managers, editors and journalists we employed were lazy and stupid.”
No doubt Dominion are counting the ‘votes’, so the BBC will believe them anyway!
Lazy and stupid is a perfect description, they usually get their US and Canadian stuff from CNN or Huffpo anyway, as they can’t be arsed to get a proper story out of the place! Sopes was useless, and Lurch just pathetic!
Vine is mates with Nana Akua the conservative anti-BLM GBnews presenter ?

“In 2006, he helped launch Colourful, a digital radio station targeting Europe’s African and Caribbean communities.
Bonsu now works as an international development moderator for the United Nations and major private sector organizations.”
Ah yes – property prices – it must be time in the cycle for one party to achieve political oblivion by suggesting ‘capital gains tax’ on house sales …
The liberals did that and landed up having party meetings in a phone box … ang and Jess would love the idea ‘pay a little bit more tax’ – yeah right …
“Someone changed the Wikipedia page for GoFundMe.
The truth lasted for only a couple of minutes, as corporate truthers didn’t approve the new changes.

Before the page was locked down, on Feb 5th it said GoFundMe is an American for-profit crowdfunding platform
that allows liberals to raise money for liberal causes,
and shut down free speech or steal money from people who actually have souls.

Type of business : THEFT”
HMS Simon Heffer -dreadnought class – firing a full broadside at the BBC in the DT … enjoy
STARTS Following Nadine Dorries’s coarse attack on the BBC, in which she threatened to abolish the licence fee, the Corporation placed a two-minute video on social media proclaiming it “belongs to all of us”. Insofar as it is a public service, that is true; though more accurately, the BBC belongs to all who pay the £159 annual fee to consume its output legally.
However, if the contention is true, an important consideration follows. If the Corporation belongs to us all then it has an obligation to make a range of programmes for us all: and it doesn’t. Many educated, middle class people of a conservative disposition find little or nothing in the BBC’s output that appeals to them. Its television programmes are formulaic, patronising and make assumptions about viewers’ values and interests that seldom coincide with reality. Its drama output portrays an urban, diverse, socially liberal Britain that is not everyone’s experience, or everyone’s desire.
BBC2, launched in 1964 for more sophisticated viewers, teems with programmes about homes and gardens, cooking and antiques, and the odd woke comedy show. It used to be fascinating for its nature programmes, but now outrageously provides the main public showcase for the class warrior Chris Packham, a man destined to be unhappy until human beings are wiped out and the world is run by wildlife.
BBC4, designed to fill the intellectual void left by BBC2’s departure into drivel, is stocked with repeats considered too highbrow for BBC2, and focusing on ‘accessible’ documentaries presented by personalities such as Dr Lucy Worsley, whom the BBC regard as an expert on almost every aspect of world history from the Romanovs to the American Civil War (a series dressed up as a collection of ‘fibs’, which tells one all one needs to know).
I would happily pay my licence fee simply to listen to Radio 3: sadly, I suspect most wouldn’t, but would like a little more before splashing their cash. If BBC2 and BBC4 no longer provide high quality television, most radio is little better. Cricket lovers are grateful to hear Test Match Special, even if the quality of its commentators has nosedived, with most sounding like moonlighting soccer pundits. Radio 5 is a capable news station but lacks the punch and variety of LBC. And Radio 4, that former stalwart of middle Britain, has become a travesty.
Its own pursuit of diversity creates the impression that it is on a permanent box-ticking mission. Its documentaries seem all to follow the same template, are dull and often about people wronged or oppressed in some way: in our household it is known as “Grievance FM”. The issues raised in these programmes are rarely the preoccupations of the intelligent middle-Englander for whom Radio 4 was for decades the default station.
Two decades-old daily programmes, Woman’s Hour and You and Yours, tend to be epics of complaint. The four big news programmes – Today, The World at One, PM and The World Tonight are of varying quality and for the most part rooted in presumptions that are far from universally shared.
This is the BBC’s centenary year. Its first General Manager – later Director General – John Reith would be horrified by the tone and quality of much of what his institution now produces. I don’t doubt his present successor, Tim Davie, is sincere when he says that there must be changes. The changes required are to end internal groupthink, develop a genuine diversity that represents conservative-minded people as well as urban hipsters, and to start to make alienated millions believe the BBC really might belong to them. Because, at the moment, it seems to belong to Islington. ENDS
Well indeed change is needed , badly needed, and the quickest and easiest way to get that change is to force the dreadful BBC to become a subscription only service. If most of its subscribers want a Wokeness it can continue to churn out its current muck. If the subscribers want something different to woke morning noon and night then it had better give it to them or go bust.
I’m afraid that Heffer is much too polite about the corporation . Just as Grade was yesterday. Polite won’t cut it with the BBC. Just stop the license Fee .
Mail on Sunday reprints the Ashcroft book on Carrie and Boris – if she hadn’t seen it before she won’t be happy …. But it does describe a less than attractive person who may well be instrumental in bringing down a PM ….
The BBC’s fave award winner writes about her fave topic… herself.
Thanks so much! I think it’s so important the BBC has a specialist disinformation and social media reporter investigating the real-world consequences of this all.
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.

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.
Every time the BBC have a front-page headline announcing the death of some obscure BAME which the 85% white people of the UK have never heard of, I always think of Tony Selby (‘Get Some In’ and many others) who the BBC did not even mention on his death.
Just who do these racist scumbags think they are here to serve ?. The people who are forced to pay for them or their own far-Left agenda ?.
Radio 4 running an item on sustainable food, they invite a ten year old spokesgirl on from Nestle who goes on about what great strides they are making in such things as labelling so we know how good or bad stuff is. (Apparently new regs coming in on labelling so we will soon know the difference between holy food and the devils stuff).
They followed up with a young man who could only have been a full on Vegan. “We must ensure that the new label codes give an accurate picture on sustainability” he whines “For instance, let’s take meat (huh-huh, dead Vegan giveaway straight away). “Even the most sustainable meat products fall well below other foodstuffs”
He quite obviously believes that ALL meat products are evil and can NEVER be seen as acceptable so whatever the new labelling does, meat must NEVER EVER be an acceptable food for mankind. But that argument would have to come from a position of animal welfare and NOT sustainability, the point of the broadcast.
I just do not buy into this beef beef by Vegans. The cow fart nonsense is just that, nonesense, just take a drive in the country and count how few grazing livestock you spot. It’s an infinitesimally tiny factor. Much more worrying to me is how much rice, avocados, and other non-native vegetation etc. etc. are being shipped half way round the World in mammoth ships and planes to feed all the VEGANS.
I even now see that a new fad is bamboo toilet paper, made no doubt in China and then shipped half way round the World for us to feel good when wiping our A***s at around twice the price of paper made from Northern trees. But it does have some cute cartoon Pandas on the packaging!

Hmm if you have a sheep/cow meadow surely it rarely ploughed anyway.

Alan Dershowitz Interview
News Channel and BBC World News, Wednesday 29 December 2021
The interview with Alan Dershowitz after the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict did not meet the BBC’s editorial standards, as Mr Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst, and we did not make the relevant background clear to our audience. We will look into how this happened.

“The left erupting, wants Joe Rogan cancelled”
It’s ironic that all media fawned over Avenatti in 2018
but the one show he wasn’t on was …. Joe Rogan
He was on Tucker, but Tucker ripped him apart.
OK there are some context issues there
#1 Avenatti’s downfall didn’t happen now,
It happened in July 2021 with his jailing for defrauding Nike
(Jail that has been put off *due to Covid* FFS)
That’s when Tucker put out the video that that tweet rips off
.. https://youtu.be/VJtnl_lzIS4
#2 The new news is that he will serve extra jail time
after a jury yesterday convicted him of defrauding Stormy Daniels.
… BTW Further extortion cases against him are in process
#3 “seedy” ? Nah, he straight forward forged her signature and stole her book advance money, and told her i hadn’t come yet.
It is also true that this time MSM only put out the odd short item
whereas Fox and Newsmax were there straight after the verdict doing long items which are on YouTube.

I disagree. I think that the media are lying to us about how much resentment there is to Boris. Most people broke lockdown rules at some point and in other news, the media say lockdown didn’t prevent much at all anyway. I think people aren’t that bothered about it. Certainly on the scale of importance, it’s right at the bottom.
Their problem now is that if Boris survives, they have shot their bolt. That’s why the are increasingly desperate. Lucky for them Cummins has gone because the payback would have been ruthless. But even so, Boris can now justly replace the remainers he appointed for political reasons with Brexiteers.
Whether he will or not is another matter. But this has the possibility of being the biggest own-goal the BBC ever scored.

Quite coincidentally BookFace have just revealed a massive loss of equity along with collapsing use of their platform by public and therefore advertisers.
Unable to add two and two together they blame Apple for no longer allowing Facebook to rifle through the browsing history of visitors and therefore rendering FB less able to serve up relevant ads and thus losing advertisers.
Nothing of course to do with their nazi style blocking of anything remotely Republican and especially President Trump.
Any sane person can figure out that there are millions of ex Facebook users who didn’t agree and so took action against the brazen left wing actions that Facebook decided to take.
Crash and burn I say and hopefully in this Country, the BBC, Guardian and Independent will surely follow.

Woman in her 30s dies in Shoreditch bus crash

‘The woman, in her 30s, was injured in the collision and later died at the scene, the Met Police said. The force said there had been no arrests.’
And yet another BBC report which has so much information missing, it doesn’t make sense.
Will they report everybody who dies on our roads from now on ?. That will be 5 such reports every day.
Or is there something about this woman or maybe what happened to her which makes it newsworthy, but they don’t want to tell us why ?.

Even worse the final budget was £32,000 ! So, does half this money pay for the ‘designers’ on the programme because I don’t see a lot for the money spent. Or is it me.

Local paper is as bad as the BBC, cos the staff are in some grand centre 100 miles away they know nothing about the area and constantly mix things up.
Often they don’t appreciate that Scunthorpe and Grimsby are two completely different areas.
But from one Grimsby story I see something
They have a story about a police woman who has been sacked for making a false complaint against a male colleague.
The paper are not clever enough to explain that the woman 24 is a Special (volunteer) and that he is a full time officer.
She complained, oh this strange officer had sent her an explicit video of himself.
They asked her if she’d been in a relationship with him
She said no . Then they got texts she’d sent to someone else saying she’d dumped him. (the officer).

My thoughts as well:
PETER HITCHENS: If we get revolutionary Sir Keir Starmer for a decade, we’ll look at Boris Johnson’s years as a Golden Age
“I don’t like Johnson. In fact, I think he is terrible. But here’s why I won’t join in. Because things could be a lot worse.
By the end of his time in office, Major was just a target. Cartoonists drew him wearing his underpants outside his trousers or as a corpse surrounded by bluebottles. I can’t even remember the petty supposed scandal that dogged him through his final years.
But there was no arguing about it. He was doomed.
And then remember what happened when we got rid of him. The Blair Revolution irreversibly changed the country for the worse, breaking up the nation itself, raping its constitution, spending great piles of money we did not have to remarkably little effect on the public services he was supposed to be saving.
The whole nature of life changed. The remnants of Christianity were bulldozed aside to make a new official religion of Equality and Diversity. Marriage and the traditional family were turned into eccentricities. The futile and damaging expansion of the universities raised the school leaving age to 21.
It also put a generation in debt without actually producing more educated people. We developed the national habit of hurling ourselves into foreign wars where we had no business. These idealistic conflicts did nothing but harm.
At the same time we gave up defending ourselves from our real enemies. A bloody terrorist dined with the Queen at Windsor Castle. And all because we thought it was time for a change and joined in with the jeering crowd.
Well, here it comes again. Do you have any idea who Keir Starmer really is? Did you know he belonged to a Marxist faction, obsessed with Green policies and sexual revolution, well into his adulthood – and has never said he was wrong?
Do you really think all revolutionaries look like Jeremy Corbyn? No, they look like Starmer and Blair and Mandelson, and it is that lot who are now back in the saddle in the Labour Party.
Here’s a simple thing for you to ponder. Starmer has very little chance of getting a majority at the next Election. His only realistic route to No10 is by forming some sort of pact with Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP. She will demand a new referendum in return and Scotland could be gone from the Union within a couple of years.
So Labour needs to devise a way to stay in office after Scotland has gone. Votes at 16? Very likely. But I think they will also want to push through major electoral reforms (the SNP won’t mind helping, they’ve done the same themselves).
And who will be surprised if those reforms mean there is a permanent majority at Westminster for the hard Left, the sort of people who, if in power now, would have us all muzzled and locked down for the rest of our lives?
Ten years of that and you’ll be looking back on these times as a kind of Golden Age.”

Labour MP Jess Phillips is laughing all the way to the bank after Have I Got News for You performance earns her £15,000
Her constituents may struggle to pay their heating costs in the coming weeks – but Labour frontbencher Jess Phillips is likely to have few concerns about her own bills.
The MP for Yardley in Birmingham received an astonishing £15,000 to present a single edition of BBC1’s Have I Got News For You.
The 40-year-old, who has lamented that it’s ‘awful to hear people on the doorstep saying, “You politicians are all in it for yourselves,” ’ hosted the show on December 10
Her bumper payment arrived in time for Christmas and is recorded in the Register of Members’ Interests, which states it was in return for a mere 12 hours’ work
‘Scriptwriters start writing Monday lunchtime and finish on Thursday night. Normal recording time is about two to two-and-a-half hours.’
Maybe Jess was mistaken – or perhaps she thought her constituents in Birmingham would find the idea of about £1,000 per hour more palatable than £7,500 per hour for presenting the show.

Call me old fashioned, but with Camilla being allowed to be Queen to Charles when Her Maj pops off, what does that say to citizens who believe that the proposed Head of The Church of England never kept to the rules when he was married to Diana?
When ‘religion’ keeps so many people on their toes these days, you’d hope that both the RC and CofE communicants could be able to stand up as truthful opponents to Islam and all its tawdry foreign bolt-ons.
Charles was reported as philandering lots of his time before and after marrying Diana, and Camilla seems to have been doing the same to her old man, who was also ‘at it’ – and no I don’t have proof, as I’m a normal citizen, but if I was taught anything when I was a kid, it was that the Queen was in charge of the church, and BTW, ‘take my advice, don’t go putting it around’, because it’s not within church rules!
If we’re supposed to be fighting this dreadful, murdering bunch of ‘religious’ islamists, then surely the GB example should be to strengthen our own religious foundations, not weaken them?
Mybe a BBC ‘Thought for the day’ could challenge all this, but expect nothing of any importance, as they’re certainly part of the problem with their liberal gushings at ‘diversity’ and other rubbish.

Official and media fascination with pointless and what are 50% likely to be duff statistics continues in 95% of the realms of human endeavour: ‘Ukraine tensions: US sources say Russia 70% ready to invade Ukraine‘ (BBC)
One assumes the experts have been using their computer military modelling forecasts to advise the politicians and public. Speaking of military modelling, is Airfix still a thing? Or has it been bought out by the Chinese?
Speaking of forecasts, my layman’s theory is that this statistical tendency spread initially from our weather forecasters. Ignoring cloud formations, sea weed, etc, these days I will look at the weather app on my phone and be informed it is 80% likely to rain at a certain hour. I take an umbrella, knowing in my heart that should it remain dry and I dare challange the app makers I would be told – sorry, they were quite correct – I was in the 20% bracket of probability.
So don’t be surprised if the Ruskies aren’t 70% ready to invade.
‘You’ll need a tank division to drag me out of Downing St, Johnson tells allies‘ (Sunday Times) – luckily for Boris, Britain probably doesn’t have one of those anymore. Given the financial squeeze, I’d guess it’s 75% likely we don’t. And if we did it would only be 30% ready.
Perhaps we ought to worry? If the Daily Star is to be believed Britain can’t keep a military secret: ‘Plan for Her Maj “to quit within year”…. We can reveal military chiefs have been ordered to prepare…‘ – Wait for it… winter steppe camo off, red-white-blue bunting on, 2-3-4!
‘Orf to her bed‘ – is the Star’s slightly disrespectful main headline. Perhaps Her Maj fancies some of this civil service-style working from home furlough she’s been hearing so much about?
‘Royal revelation. Camilla will be Queen‘ – claims the Mirror.
‘Duchess should be given the title, says Her Majesty on the day of Platinum Jubilee‘ (Telegraph)
I hope she has cleared that with Carrie?
‘Carrie uncovered: The explosive book by LORD ASHCROFT that’s set Westminster alight – including a close friend’s claim that “Carrie is the reason Boris has squandered the chance to become a great Prime Minister”‘ (Daily Mail)
Our Princess Nut Nut has her fans and supporters in the press: ‘Carrie Johnson: puppet master of Downing Street – or easy target?‘ (Guardian) – that claim not being based on Lord Ashcroft’s book but rather on the general Guardianista instict and outlook: ‘Some argue Boris Johnson’s wife is pulling the strings at No 10 but others note that claims contain more than a whiff of sexism‘
Ah, sexism versus feminism. We’ve been fighting that battle almost as long as the Calcutta Cup has been contested. By the way, has the BBC rechristened it Kolkata Cup yet? Dare I use the word christened?
We interrupt this press review for a quick sports report from BBC Pidgin service on the Winter Olympics: ‘Only five African kontris go dey represented for di Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics‘ – Cool Runnings.
Where were we? Ah, feminism. The Sunday Telegraph seeks to grab our attention: ‘Get your kit off. Women are turning their backs on bras‘ – first I’ve heard of it. Could this be the government nudge unit planting press stories again? Are they keen to preserve short-supply and vital elastic stocks for NHS PPE?
‘Carrie Uncovered‘ – shouts the Mail on Sunday trumpeting their exclusive on the Ashcroft book.
‘Greenflation nation‘ – observes the Telegraph – ‘Why the price of net zero is too high to pay‘
From my conservative standpoint I find lefty world leaders rather ridiculous. There’s Canada’s Justin Black-&-White-Minstrel-Show Trudeau who I regard as a bit of a plank. A chicken who runs away and hides from protest. Kiwi horse toothed Jacinda Ardern I view as a prissy primary school marm.
The Left however, go for broke. From their point of view Right-leaning leaders are literally Hitler.
Emma Smith in the Sunday Observer goes Shakespearean on the PM’s ass: ‘Johnson could be Falstaff: carnal, cheerful, pragmatic. But beneath lies something venal‘ – and she don’t refer to Carrie.
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The point toward Boris’s neck?

Ah yes – property prices – it must be time in the cycle for one party to achieve political oblivion by suggesting ‘capital gains tax’ on house sales …
The liberals did that and landed up having party meetings in a phone box … ang and Jess would love the idea ‘pay a little bit more tax’ – yeah right …

HMS Simon Heffer -dreadnought class – firing a full broadside at the BBC in the DT … enjoy
STARTS Following Nadine Dorries’s coarse attack on the BBC, in which she threatened to abolish the licence fee, the Corporation placed a two-minute video on social media proclaiming it “belongs to all of us”. Insofar as it is a public service, that is true; though more accurately, the BBC belongs to all who pay the £159 annual fee to consume its output legally.
However, if the contention is true, an important consideration follows. If the Corporation belongs to us all then it has an obligation to make a range of programmes for us all: and it doesn’t. Many educated, middle class people of a conservative disposition find little or nothing in the BBC’s output that appeals to them. Its television programmes are formulaic, patronising and make assumptions about viewers’ values and interests that seldom coincide with reality. Its drama output portrays an urban, diverse, socially liberal Britain that is not everyone’s experience, or everyone’s desire.
BBC2, launched in 1964 for more sophisticated viewers, teems with programmes about homes and gardens, cooking and antiques, and the odd woke comedy show. It used to be fascinating for its nature programmes, but now outrageously provides the main public showcase for the class warrior Chris Packham, a man destined to be unhappy until human beings are wiped out and the world is run by wildlife.
BBC4, designed to fill the intellectual void left by BBC2’s departure into drivel, is stocked with repeats considered too highbrow for BBC2, and focusing on ‘accessible’ documentaries presented by personalities such as Dr Lucy Worsley, whom the BBC regard as an expert on almost every aspect of world history from the Romanovs to the American Civil War (a series dressed up as a collection of ‘fibs’, which tells one all one needs to know).
I would happily pay my licence fee simply to listen to Radio 3: sadly, I suspect most wouldn’t, but would like a little more before splashing their cash. If BBC2 and BBC4 no longer provide high quality television, most radio is little better. Cricket lovers are grateful to hear Test Match Special, even if the quality of its commentators has nosedived, with most sounding like moonlighting soccer pundits. Radio 5 is a capable news station but lacks the punch and variety of LBC. And Radio 4, that former stalwart of middle Britain, has become a travesty.
Its own pursuit of diversity creates the impression that it is on a permanent box-ticking mission. Its documentaries seem all to follow the same template, are dull and often about people wronged or oppressed in some way: in our household it is known as “Grievance FM”. The issues raised in these programmes are rarely the preoccupations of the intelligent middle-Englander for whom Radio 4 was for decades the default station.
Two decades-old daily programmes, Woman’s Hour and You and Yours, tend to be epics of complaint. The four big news programmes – Today, The World at One, PM and The World Tonight are of varying quality and for the most part rooted in presumptions that are far from universally shared.
This is the BBC’s centenary year. Its first General Manager – later Director General – John Reith would be horrified by the tone and quality of much of what his institution now produces. I don’t doubt his present successor, Tim Davie, is sincere when he says that there must be changes. The changes required are to end internal groupthink, develop a genuine diversity that represents conservative-minded people as well as urban hipsters, and to start to make alienated millions believe the BBC really might belong to them. Because, at the moment, it seems to belong to Islington. ENDS

Well indeed change is needed , badly needed, and the quickest and easiest way to get that change is to force the dreadful BBC to become a subscription only service. If most of its subscribers want a Wokeness it can continue to churn out its current muck. If the subscribers want something different to woke morning noon and night then it had better give it to them or go bust.
I’m afraid that Heffer is much too polite about the corporation . Just as Grade was yesterday. Polite won’t cut it with the BBC. Just stop the license Fee .

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.
CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.
CAS-4939547-J71Z1V: Here’s hoping Ireland do the right thing G.Lineker.
CAS-4937378-YKMWBJ: BBC not reporting ‘Day of Freedom’ March 06may2018.
CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.
CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.
CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …
CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19
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,
Mark

Lata Mangeshkar: India bids farewell to beloved singer

Every time the BBC have a front-page headline announcing the death of some obscure BAME which the 85% white people of the UK have never heard of, I always think of Tony Selby (‘Get Some In’ and many others) who the BBC did not even mention on his death.
Just who do these racist scumbags think they are here to serve ?. The people who are forced to pay for them or their own far-Left agenda ?.

Radio 4 running an item on sustainable food, they invite a ten year old spokesgirl on from Nestle who goes on about what great strides they are making in such things as labelling so we know how good or bad stuff is. (Apparently new regs coming in on labelling so we will soon know the difference between holy food and the devils stuff).
They followed up with a young man who could only have been a full on Vegan. “We must ensure that the new label codes give an accurate picture on sustainability” he whines “For instance, let’s take meat (huh-huh, dead Vegan giveaway straight away). “Even the most sustainable meat products fall well below other foodstuffs”
He quite obviously believes that ALL meat products are evil and can NEVER be seen as acceptable so whatever the new labelling does, meat must NEVER EVER be an acceptable food for mankind. But that argument would have to come from a position of animal welfare and NOT sustainability, the point of the broadcast.
I just do not buy into this beef beef by Vegans. The cow fart nonsense is just that, nonesense, just take a drive in the country and count how few grazing livestock you spot. It’s an infinitesimally tiny factor. Much more worrying to me is how much rice, avocados, and other non-native vegetation etc. etc. are being shipped half way round the World in mammoth ships and planes to feed all the VEGANS.
I even now see that a new fad is bamboo toilet paper, made no doubt in China and then shipped half way round the World for us to feel good when wiping our A***s at around twice the price of paper made from Northern trees. But it does have some cute cartoon Pandas on the packaging!
