Start the week 7 February 2022

Is the BBC reporting the spreading protests by ‘truck drivers ‘ or is it trying to ‘non report ‘ as part of its’ propaganda programme ? Selective reporting and non reporting of events just makes it easier for people to see the bias in action . Time to end it .

      ” 1 in 10 women will experience early pregnancy loss”
      I thought the lifetime chance is much higher
      Like in their lifetime 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 mothers will have had a pregnancy that does come to term.

      I don’t think the stat is 1 in 10 women
      NHS say “1 in 8 pregnancies” fail
      Children’s charity says
      “An estimated 1 in 5 pregnancies ended in miscarriage (1 in 8 if we only count women who realised/reported the miscarriage)”

        “Black women have more miscarriages”
        My dentist told me that much of his work is due intermarriage
        that the genetic mixing often produces teeth that are too big for the mouth. (He’s tribal and is talking about intermarriage with Europeans)

        I guess the same applies for pregnancies
        that yes in populations that are purely one race there is a number of miscarriages
        but if you start mixing the races, even of the same skin colour, the risk of miscarriage is likely to be higher.
        Although in other ways mixing may produce advantages.

        White people tend to have a major genetic difference to black people in that they have some Neandatal DNA so of course outcomes are not the same.

      Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.

      It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.

      It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.

      It’s misleading to use phrases such as ‘Islamic slavery’ and ‘Muslim slave trade’, even though slavery existed in many Muslim cultures at various times, since the Atlantic slave trade is not called the Christian slave trade, even though most of those responsible for it were Christians.

      Prerana Issar joined NHS England as Chief People Officer in 2019 on £230,000
      The sum is equivalent to the salaries of nine newly qualified nurses
      The salary is far higher than that of Boris Johnson – who is paid £157,332

        Once Tom Harwood had tweeted that several people have had similar treatment to Sir Kier, the episode made more sense. But GB news, like the DMail kept talking about a crowd (I couldn’t face even 5 minutes of the BBC yesterday) – it wasn’t – it was a small group. But where did the link to Boris’ remark about Savile come from? GB news and Nigel were very quick to make the link. Somebody or some people behind the scenes are driving this narrative and GB news has sadly joined the pack.

    Well, it seems the BBC is now entirely communist. They spent 15 minutes on today lobbying for a windfall tax on BP – an idea that seems to have come from the BBC itself. The presenter obviously loved it and couldn’t think of any reason it may be a bad idea.

    Seriously, they cant think of any downsides to the economy as a whole if the country were to expropriate profits? Venezuela?

    Sure, BP just reported a £2.3 bn profit, but BP made a £20 bn LOSS in 2020. In volatile commodity markets you need to look at average profits over time or you would totally mislead listeners, but I’m sure that was unintentional.

    And BP is worth £100 bn so their profit really doesn’t look so big now (the BBC didn’t mention that).

    With a national broadcaster like the BBC I’m not sure this country can be saved.

    Assuming the idiots who harassed Starmer hang on the whims of PMQs is a huge stretch, and drawing a direct link to Boris is unjustified – as Brendan Cox this morning pointed out to Nick Robinson, telling him “It’s very hard to draw a direct link and say the PM is in some way responsible…”. Which didn’t stop Robinson trying to make the link.

    TOADY Watch #1 – if what you say is true, Mr Robinson, why did Keir Starmer apologise?

    The BBC really love Labour and Keir Starmer and really hate Boris Johnson and hate, even more, fomer President Trump. It started at 6 a.m. this morning (Marky Mark has covered it already) and re-started just before 8 a.m. with Nick having a sneer at populism and Donald Trump as well, of course, at Boris Johnson. Nick Robinson appears to be a ‘stranger to the truth’.

    Jimmy Saville was not prosecuted while Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service. Keir Starmer has since apologised for that. Fact and fact, Nick. Would you withdraw your allegations and slurs on the Prime Minister and former President Trump? No?

    Another one for dismissal with Kuenssberg, D-G.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Starmer and the Police had this all arranged up front between them to create the furore myself.

    What was Starmer doing in a Public Street? Why did he get so close to a demo about something totally different? How do we know that any Saville chants were made by real protestors and not plants?

    Dont expect the BBC to examine these sort of questions though!

    It is after all a standard lefty “play victim” tactic as we are seeing in the US and Canada as well as most of the woke community..

    BBC “Politics Live” and PMQ’s.

    I’ve noticed the curious way PMQ’s is presented on Politics Live. Before PMQ’s the panel consists of a BBC presenter, a Government member, an Opposition members and a Political commentator, usually from a left wing media rag.
    After PMQ’s the commentator is replaced with a BBC person, usually Laura Keunsbsberg. As there is a BBC presenter already, why? I joke to myself that Laura is there to give the BBC’s opinions.

    “New documentary to expose ‘conspiracy of smears’ used to destroy Corbyn”

    “Boris Johnson tried to get himself out of trouble by trying to smear [Labour leader] Keir Starmer with the Jimmy Savile scandal,” he said.

    “This is ironic considering that Starmer himself has used fake allegations of anti-semitism to purge hundreds of members of his own party.

    “It just illustrates the way smearing has become the weapon of choice in politics today.”

British Asian girls in Rotherham also suffered abuse, but a fear of shame and dishonour made them reluctant to report the abuse to authorities.

    Jimmy Savile was abusing children on BBC premises as recently as 2006.

    The presenter’s alleged sexual assault of a girl, aged between 13 and 16, at the final recording of Top of the Pops will make it difficult for the corporation to explain the Savile scandal as a symptom of the social culture of a bygone era.

    BBC Television Centre has been named as one of six “main premises” for the presenter’s sex attacks. According to Scotland Yard’s report, Savile’s offences on BBC premises took place undetected over 47 years from 1959 to 2006.

    The BBC said it was “appalled” at the new revelations about sex abuse on its premises, and added: “We would like to restate our sincere apology to the victims of these crimes.”

    The corporation’s governing body, the BBC Trust, described the new claims as “truly shocking” and also reiterated “our sincere apologies to all the victims of Jimmy Savile”.

    BBC now showing comments by angry Conservative MP’s over the PM Savile remarks..

    And right on cue its the same old Boris haters..ROGER GALE, TOBIAS ELWOOD, ANDREW BIDGEN etc etc etc

    Im genuinely staggered by the incredible hysteria being shown by the media and in particular the BBC….Im struggling to get my head around it.

    Is there anybody on here who is or was offended by Boris’s Savile remarks. I dont know anybody that is.

    I did a little experiment this morning (turning into a geek). Sally Nugent was interviewing the Tory Minister for technology who was introducing a policy to stop a very serious issue, child pornography. The interview lasted 9 mins. This is how it went.. 8 mins on Savile and the Johnson remarks, 1 minute on child pornography…. It really is becoming a serious issue the behaviour of the BBC…

    Im bloody well seething that the Tory politicians just sit there like blubbering idiots and take it…

    Something occurred to me ;

    1) Why are the bBC so desperate to link the P.M. s statement on Savile to Mr. Starmer.

    Could it be that they wanted no further light shone on them , lets face it, for Savile’s enablement.

    Or indeed could they have played any kind of role in dissuading
    Savile,s prosecution? Back at the time when Starmer was in charge?

    By way of contrast there is a court case coming up in Scotland.
    The first ever class action in Scottish history.

    It involves 25 victims of an alleged paedophile ring which has operated inside Celtic football club.

    It is claimed there are over 200 other victims waiting the outcome of the class action.
    Those identified in the ” ring” number between 5-9 already identified.

    Savile was a regular visitor to Celtic Park during his peak period of fame.

    There have been numerous calls for an independent external inquiry into these matters.

    Declined by the SNP and Scottish Justice ? system.

    More worryingly the bBC in Scotland have played virtually no part in putting their investigative people in among this,

    makes you wonder why?

      2018 …. Telford grooming ‘tip of the iceberg’, says solicitor
      Published13 March 2018

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-43385049

      Mr Berry agreed with Mr Afzal’s assessment that the cases so far had been “potentially just the tip of the prosecutions”.

      He also backed calls for a new inquiry, and called on the authorities to get local organisations involved.

      “Often community groups know more about what is going on on the ground,” he said.

    TPA Newsletter this morning: ‘We’re barely into 2022 but the BBC is already off to a bad start after the culture secretary Nadine Dorries announced her intent to scrap the BBC licence from 2028 onwards. This is a welcome step forward, but we say – why wait?

    As we pointed out (at TPA) in our press release to the national media, instead of kicking the can down the road until the BBC charter comes to an end in 2027, ministers must legislate to unshackle the Beeb from the taxpayer and let the corporation stand on its own two feet.’

    TPA has long campaigned to an end to the TV license fee. It has to happen during this parliament or it will never happen. It should have happened 20 years ago under Labour, under Milliband, Blair, Brown et al.

    There is no reason to keep a dead corporate body alive.

    Another article about a black woman by Tulip Mazumdar and Smitha Mundasad.

    ‘These include a lack of quality research involving all ethnicities – but RCOG head Dr Edward Morris says implicit racial bias is also affecting some women’s experience of care.’

    More black BBC reporters writing about other poor black victims and calling white people racist. Of course they are. Because THEY are racist.

    The amount of articles like this by the BBC in a country which is 85% white is utterly racist.

      Had to smile at 1pm News on TWatO, Fed, becuase they played a clip of Wes Streeting up on his back legs in Parliament complaining about Wicked Tory Cuts to the NHS whereas, if I recall correctly, it was the Conservative Party who continued to finance the NHS above all else during those years of ‘austerity’. Streeting made reference to ‘targets’ which were introduced by Labour because the NHS had become so rotten during thirteen years of Labour misrule that waiting lists exploded. Where does Starmer get these people from? The paddock at the back of his house?

    Mubarak, a “Palestinian Muslim American community activist,” has a history of making anti-Israel statements online and calling Israel an “apartheid state.”

    “These aren’t clashes— it’s an ongoing occupation. These aren’t evictions— they are forced expulsions,” Mubarak tweeted in May of last year. “This isn’t a conflict— it’s settler colonialism, it’s ethnic cleansing, it’s oppression, it’s apartheid.”

    Labour MP hit by abuse ‘in Corbyn’s name’

    Ruth Smeeth had criticized the leader for failing to make the party a ‘safe space’ for Jews.

    Labour backbencher Ruth Smeeth, a vocal opponent of embattled leader Jeremy Corbyn, has received 25,000 pieces of abuse since the end of June, she told the BBC Friday, with 20,000 coming in a single 12-hour period.

    Smeeth, who is Jewish, criticized Corbyn Friday for failing to crack down on abuse of Labour MPs by his supporters amid the party’s rancorous leadership contest.

    “This is being done in his name, not by him, but in his name,” Smeeth said. “He should be naming and shaming some of the worst perpetrators and making it clear publicly that they do not speak for him — that this is unacceptable.”

    What they didnt tell you is that its Caroline Noakes a notorious Boris hater. The same said MP who claims that Boris Johnsons dad smacked her arse in 2003 at a Tory Party conference, when asked for proof by the whips so they could carry out an internal investigation, none was provided.

      ..and let nobody tell you this is not an orchestrated ‘drip, drip, drip’ approach used by Boris haters to cause maximum damage.

      They haven’t the courage of their convictions to get out into the open, up front, as a group, because they full well know that that would be the end of it – and the last thing they want is for there to be an end to this.

    Smeeth walked out of a Labour event on anti-Semitism in June after being accused of working “hand-in-hand” with right-wing media. She said at the time that Corbyn should resign as Labour leader because the party is no longer a “safe space for British Jews” with him in charge.

    She has been under special police protection since July, when she received a death threat on Facebook.

      And, obviously, Flotsam, there is absolutely no analysis, nor has there ever been, to my knowledge, of what Boris Johnson said, to prove that there were any ‘false claims, slurs or smears’ whatsoever.

      Mr Starmer and his troops, it was simply pointed out (perhaps clumsily, but honestly), were trying to claim that Boris Johnson was responsible for every move of any of the hundreds of staff in the Downing Street offices, and that said Mr Starmer, despite claiming, on video, to be responsible for the acts of any of his staff whilst he was Head of the Crown Prosecution Service, suddenly didn’t want to stick with that claim.

      Keir Starmer and his cohorts just don’t like the tables being turned on him…. and, of course, the BBC has absolutely no horse in this race at all….. no siree.

    The bbbc are missing a trick.
    They are replacing white actors with black ones at every opportunity and historical accuracy counts for nothing as we saw with Anne Boleyn.
    How is it that they’ve cast a white actor to play Jimmy Saville. I’m sure there’s lots of black actors available (although they are all possibly being used up in adverts and there’s none left over)
