    Not directly biased BBC but a telling example of how the majority are treated by the woke minority.

    And it’s not an immediately obvious one, but bear with me.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-60921938

    A critical roundabout on the Aberdeen outer ring road is still not open, having been identified as a critical bottleneck nearly ten years ago. How many hundreds of thousands of journeys and potentially millions of wasted unproductive hours have accumulated as a direct result? And at what huge cost!

    Meanwhile, our towns and cities have traffic jams as our woke councils prioritise cycling and bus lanes. Neither of which are used by even as much as 10% of the population and mostly lie empty. But money is poured into these politically correct schemes while the majority of us are given crumbs when the occasional pothole is filled in.

    But up in Aberdeen we see a fantastic example of just what the public centre intelligentsia, in this case Scottish but not confined to them, aided and abetted by the eco-fanatics, really think of the rest of us. And the BBC can be relied on to be on message.

    The BBC going to mammoth lengths to verify the authenticity of film of Ukrainian soldiers allegedly shooting Russian POW’s in the legs.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/60907259

    Lots of ifs and buts and obfuscation and expert opinion.

    If the film had shown Russian soldiers shooting Ukrainian POW’s it would simply have been accepted as fact and reported as fact.

    That’s why I hate the BBC.

    I was unfortunately in the same room as a TV tuned to the BBC for about two minutes today. In that two minutes the BBC promoted wimmin’s Six Nations Rugby, showed me some forthcoming bilge to be avoided on BBC3 (isn’t it all?), and gleefully looked forward to Partygate penalties being dished out, obviously the story on everybody’s lips with nothing else going on in the world. Earlier this week they couldn’t be bothered to tell us about the Test Match cricket unless one scrolled past three articles about female cricket or football or something. I didn’t think I could despise them any more but they have proved me wrong.

      – You have got to understand that the BBC show very little men’s
      major sporting events. For example a women’s rugby or netball
      match is much more important so far as the BBC is concerned than
      say a Premiership league match between Manchester City-Liverpool.
      When the woke rugby, football and netball associations let trans women who still have their penises play. You will then see the
      BBC really in full bloom when it comes to wimmins sport.
      On top of which you will see some tackles you have never seen
      in wimmins football and rugby before,
      BIG BROTHER from the diversity department at the BBC
      will be in ecstasy .And continuity presenters , talking in patois
      will keep us informed when the BBC will be showing these
      “major” sporting events.

        They claim they cannot afford the cost of the mens game and they make the excuse of the diversity in showing what isn’t even really a second class alternative.

        The point is though that they have vast amounts of cash given to them, and they still cannot make ends meet, just like every other nationalised construct.

        Womens faces appear to rule in the BBC, there is ever a new female face of any colour or creed mouthing off, showing off, and pntificating on one subject or another and anyway that’s a man’s prerogative. Fed up with hearing women’s voices that often speak so badly one cannot understand what they are really saying.

    Listened to local radio on the way home
    The presenter is a lefty and local NUJ rep
    He first gave us #Fakenews claiming the Hull/Rotterdam ferry is the ONE ferry running
    That’s false the Liverpool/Dublin ferry is also running
    He didn’t seem to know they have had part Indonesian crew for years.

    He promised an interview with the RMT head Mick Lynch.
    I hoped he’d ask about the Indonesian workers and their living costs , since they live onboard for free AFAIK.
    But when the interview came on after 2 hours, it turned out it had been done pre-recorded, with the presenter fielding him soft ball questions
    Then the presenter did actually point out that some staff have accepted the payoffs
    then the union leader basically said the ferry company should be nationalised and the current head jailed
    ..Which isn’t going to happen of course.

    ===========
    In another segment the BBC Local Democracy Reporter was interviewed and he did PRasNews
    He listed 3 green business projects and said how fantastic they are, no hint of scepticism etc.

    @SG

    I said a while ago about the bbc missing the zeitgeiss, over and again. It has been alluded to by others.

    This site may have a limited number of people, and therefore open to accusations of a similar “bubble”but I have noticed, far and wide the same dissatisfied opinions on the bbc and media wide black obsession.

    I have a lot of connections in the music industry and the same there. It has traditionally been colour blind but now many getting pissed off about being told what to think and how to think.

    Talking to a ska drummer last week, who plays with many black musicians, driving a van thru the blm riots and getting spat on and sworn at because he was white.

    Working with a black bassist last month and all he went on about was slavery etc etc. Well done bbc.

    As usual I’m 24 hours behind the times when I watch GB News on catch up but I must comment on the extraordinary piece on Dan Wooton’s Monday show . It was a ‘discussion’ between Lawrence Fox and two black chaps , one from London and one from the US about the Smith chap at the Oscars.The US bloke seemed to be eating chips and constantly rolled his eyes whenever Fox pushed back against his claims that black victimhood excused everything.
    But the point was that during the piece Fox said that tens of thousands of white girls were raped by MOPOs ( Men Of Pakistani Origin) in the UK . Obviously it’s true and has been true for decades and we all know that it’s true but it is never said so bluntly , so honestly , said without a host of caveats and obfuscations , on UK TV.
    The BBC is a place where the Truth dies every day . GBN is a place where the Truth is spoken everyday. How long will the UK ‘liberal’ establishment allow the truth to be spoken so openly?

        Yes. Perhaps Ofcom has warned them off AMW. Even with Grade at the helm Ofcom will continue to cast a long shadow over what can can’t be said on TV and radio in the UK. I’m sure that the many ex BBC members on the Ofcom board see their first duty is to protect their old employer and their second duty to continue to suppress the truth on topics that the liberal establishment find , to use one of their words, problematic.

    Attack on Yao Pan Ma, 61, drew attention amid rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and is now being treated as homicide

    Powell is alleged to have attacked Ma from behind, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly kicking his head before fleeing, prosecutors say.

    Surveillance video appears to show an attacker stomping on Ma’s head.

    The attack drew national attention as part of a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in New York and around the country, amid the coronavirus pandemic which originated in China.

    This report has taken 5 years – no one will be blamed – no one will be fired – the medics will close ranks .

    The boundaries that exist to protect women-only spaces are being eroded by idiotic politicians too cowardly to risk offending a small minority of bullies by standing up for what is sadly the truth: that sometimes people with cervixes need protection from those with penises.

    What has it come to when they can’t even answer the simple question: ‘What is a woman?’ And, when asked whether a woman can be in possession of a penis, Labour leader Keir Starmer has no reply?

        Except that she wasn’t assaulted by a transgender rapist. She was assaulted by a man who gamed a gullible woke system.

        Even the woman attacked confirmed that “it was just a costume, an act. She also didn’t speak like a woman. Her voice was really, really deep and blokey. If you wanted to be a woman you would try to make your voice softer, but she didn’t care.”

        There are genuine trans people around, and it is an internationally recognised medical condition. There aren’t very many of them and they generally keep themselves to themselves and don’t bother anyone. You would probably pass them in the street and never even know.

        Very sad that the Left has used this small group as a battle ground, with other far left feminazis, and equally as sad that plenty of people with a great deal of hate in their hearts have joined in.

    Stats, darn stats, and media stats.

    https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2022/one-in-three-internet-users-fail-to-question-misinformation?

    The genuine article*? One in three internet users fail to question misinformation
    Ofcom publishes its annual research into children’s and adults’ media use and online lives.
    More than a third of internet users are unaware that online content might be false or biased, according to new Ofcom research.
    It reveals that 30% of UK adults who go online (14.5 million) are unsure about, or don’t even consider, the truthfulness of online information. A further 6% – around one in every twenty internet users – believe everything they see online.
    Misinformation can spread quickly on social media platforms. More than four in ten adults say they have seen a story on social media that looked deliberately untrue or misleading in the last year.
    Although seven in 10 adults (69%) said they were confident in identifying misinformation, only two in 10 (22%) were able to correctly identify the tell-tale signs of a genuine post, without making mistakes. We saw a similar pattern among older children aged 12-17 (74% confident but only 11% able).
    Online experiences uncut
    Today’s reports reveal an unfiltered picture of our lives online today. Other themes emerging in this year’s research include:
    Multiscreening TikTots – TikTok is growing in popularity, even among the youngest age groups. The popularity of short-form content could also be linked to multi-screening, with more children reporting difficulties in focusing on a single online activity.
    Concealing life online – Many children could be tactically using other accounts or ‘finstas’ – fake Instagrams – to conceal aspects of their online lives from parents.
    Scrolling over sharing – both adults (88%) and children (91%) are becoming more passive online; and are three times as likely to watch videos online, than to post their own content.
    Social Samaritans – Young digital natives, who have never known life without the internet, are sharing their technical skills and supporting others. They’re also increasingly using the internet as a means of supporting their own wellbeing.
    Of the 33% aware, many have been either blocked or banned by BBC staff, especially in the BBC Disinformation Unit, ironically for trying to point out BBC howlers to the BBC, because they can, their facts are their views, their views are their own, so there.

    *GW edit. Some quotes are from sources who say, ‘BBC style’, and may be utterly made up.

    TOADY Watch #1 – she is a Vivisectshun Perfector you know

    After Mens Doubles on TOADY (ah the days of Jack de Manio!) we are back to Ladies Doubles with Lyse Doucett in Kyiv and Mistress Mishal in London.

    “Merry Hoop Hole” is the start of Lyse’s contribution immediately after the 7 a.m. News. Am not sure at first if she is confused through shell-shock between Christmas and Easter but then I decode what she is talking about: Mariupol, a city in Ukraine.

    Lyse is, of course, a Visiting Professor at the Dame Celia Vowel-Strangler’s Academy of Pismronunciation and a world authority on The Mangling of Vowels and Consonants. In fact, that is the title of her book which is required reading for students at the Dame Celia Vowel-Strangler’s Academy of Pismronunciation.

    To conclude, I wish that The Peace of Christmas could fall upon the nation, the territory and peoples of all Ukraine.

    Some dial-a-quote organisation edition

    We may witness near unanimity of thought on the big issues – such as covid and Ukraine – but there are some subjects on which our media still provide some variety of opinion.

    The Sun offers the full respect due to our monarch – albeit the tabloid’s headlines are informal: ‘The Queen of broken hearts. Emotional farewell to beloved Phil. And she picks Andrew to escort her… in a public show of support

    There’s no forgive and forget at the Mirror: ‘Remembering the Duke. The pain… and the stain. Queen’s tears for Philip… as Andrew worms his way back into limelight

    The Express gives credit to the Queen despite: ‘Royal fallout over Queen’s ultimate act of love. The Queen’s forgiving gesture… sparked tensions

    Meanwhile, whilst our minds are again focused on those special temptations that will confront those in the limelight and their past misdemeanors of a sexual nature: ‘Tiger shock. Golf legend planning sensational Masters return‘ (Telegraph)

    Allison Pearson in the Telegraph alerts us to the sad situation concerning: ‘Giving birth on the NHS is a disgrace… maternity care failures that led to hundreds of baby deaths‘ – if the NHS were a person, there would surely be less forgiveness and more calls to lock it up.

    Even our BBC admits: ‘Public satisfaction with NHS drops to 25-year low… after a sharp fall during the pandemic, a survey suggests.

    You know how those online customer comments tend to read – “crap customer care service my advice is go elsewhere

    In Mr AsISeeIt’s humble opinion all that doorstep clapping, pot-banging and all that highly politicised sentimentatlity didn’t help the case for the NHS one jot.

    Speaking of medical malfeasance: ‘NHS facing £3bn bill for negligence claims‘ (Telegraph)

    Staying with health, our other creaking State monolith, the BBC, seems somewhat conflicted on this one: ‘Clinics call for at-home abortions to continue

    Speaking of conflict: ‘Why the Red Cross has to be neutral in the Ukraine conflict‘ – explains the BBC, rather whistfully. If only we could have a clear-cut – all the good guys of the world against the bad guys conflict.

    The BBC audience are likely slavering for the Red Cross to properly take sides – like everyone else has – so why can’t they speak out against Putin – like everyone else has? – The BBC audience need a little schooling via quote to their reporter from the Red Cross: ‘“We’re not some dial-a-quote organisation,” an ICRC officer told me at the time, “there are human rights groups for that.”‘ – ouch, that stings.

    On the subject of schooling… the BBC approves: ‘Afghanistan: World Bank freezes projects over girls’ school ban‘ – and yet the BBC has to admit the problem of lack of education is somewhat more general worldwide: ‘Covid closures still affecting 400 million pupils – Unicef

    Ah, what’s this? I do believe I detect that rare breath of stale air emanating from the direction of the crusty old Telegraph this morning, as it is momentarily nudged awake from its habitual slumber: ‘Game over. Now robots have mastered bridge, is humanity doomed?

    The FT’s Datawatch feature likewise regrets the prevailing climate in a world that just won’t conform to its own elevated notions of propriety: ‘Any potential enviromental benefits from the pandemic appear to have been shortlived in the EU, with greenhouse gas emissions nearly at pre-pandemic levels‘ – ain’t that a bummer.

    Kudos to the Times for keeping their eye on the ball where others tend to look away: ‘Channel crossings up. More than 3,000 migrants have crossed the Channel this month‘ – one doubts any of them were Ukrainians.

    And as we get used to Western foreign policy in complete disarray with Biden at the helm the Times consoles us with some cold comfort in the East: ‘Taiwan war “reprieve”. China will delay any attempt to take over Taiwan by at least four years becasue of Russia’s failing campaign in Ukraine

    Time to get a few things straight. Western claims that Russia’s war is failing are a misreading of the situation.

    Our media revel in Russian casualties and material losses. Have we forgotten the Russian way of war? We in the West so despise casualties to our forces that we feel the need to bomb our enemies back to the stone age before we dare send in ground troops. See Iraq and Serbia. Not so the Russians. The fall of Berlin cost 70,000 Russian lives at the end of WW2. A figure perfectly acceptable to Stalin in order for him to achieve his political goal of victory in the enemy capital ahead of his pusy-footing allies.

    Putin’s present war aim was never to push through to Warsaw, Berlin then Brussels and a quick hop to London. Ruskie soldiers with snow still on their boots marching up Downing Street – where no British demonstrators dare pass the security gates to interrupt the on-going heady calendar of office parties schedule – despite covid.

    His war aims are four fold: Secure and annex the Russian speaking enclaves; Downgrade the regular Ukrainian forces in their future ability to further harass the pro-Russian districts; Secure an internationally recognised agreement of neutrality for the rump Ukrainian state, barring its future enrolment into the EU or NATO; lastly, pour encourager les autres within his spere of influence as Napoleon would put it. Display his strengh and reslove in contrast to Western weakness by clear demarcation of his sphere of influence which the West has now so obviously failed to deny him.

    Our media may puff and blow with approved propaganda but Vlad appears to be close to achieving these goals: ‘Putin to withdraw troops with focus on Donbas as Ukraine offers neutrality deal‘ (Telegraph)

    Twitter trickery : It says to me “#ScumMedia is trending”
    However it does not list the number of tweets, like it does for 90% of hashtags in the charts .
    When it doesn’t list the number of tweets , that suggests the chart position was calculated by AI counting tweets that it thinks belong in that category.

    There aren’t that many tweets using the hashtag #scumMedia, although some maybe being withheld from search results.
    I spot tweets criticising the ScumMedia’s partygate obsession, which has still not found a single MP
    And tweets complaining the funeral coverage focussed on smearng Andrew, rather than acknowledging Prince Philip.

    Something troubling crosses my mind this morning as you joke of a Prime Minister is pictured heading off to yet another party with his ministers.

    At this part he jokes that he is more popular in Kiev than in parts of Kensington, and they call find that most amusing. Of course they do because they are so dim they don’t appear to realise than no one in Kiev can vote in a British election.

    He took a swipe at those MPs who sent in no confidence letters – the few who had a scintilla of courage, but the others who were too cowardly will probably loose their seats come the Landslide loss the Tories are looking at come the next election.

    But yet all of that is not the concern, and it comes back once again to the appalling poor pay of British politicians – the worst in the Western world. Boris is popular in Kyiv to give it its Ukrainian name, but then so was Hunter Biden. We know that Ukraine was and almost certainly remains one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

    Boris was becoming heavily involved in Ukraine way before the Russian invasion actually happened, giving away British weapons with the gleeful abandon which is his hallmark with taxpayers money. As it turns out it was all justified by the invasion, but at the time he did it most expert commentators including the Ukrainians did not believe Russia would actually invade.

    Boris has already stated that the PMs salary is insufficient to meet his expenses, with God knows how many children and abandoned women in his wake to support it might not be surprising, but the possible temptation to make up that low salary with money from the corrupt Ukrainian government using taxpayers funded weaponry to seal the deal cannot be ruled out.

    He probably didn’t reckon on Hunter Bidens laptop coming out of the woodwork to bite him in the ass, and a compliant media willing to not probe too deeply into any promises made by Ukrainian political leaders to get his snout in the trough when he leaves office. What was the quid pro quo from Ukraine for the supply of those British weapons given for free at a time when Ukraine had more than enough money to have paid for them ?

      Thoughtful, I generally agree with most of your posts here but I think that your antipathy to BoJo is leading you into bizarre, Leftoid, unsubstantiated conjecture regarding his support for Ukraine.

      He is unlikely, in my opinion, to need Ukrainian dirty money when he eventually leaves No10. To equate him with the deviant, totally corrupt Bidengimp and his son, Bidenpervert, is really propaganda worthy of Fick Ange.

        It’s certainly not leftoid, I simply see a political class now used to accepting what is basically bribes or dirty money from which ever country they can get it.

        It’s happened with BLiar, Brown and Cameron why would Boris be any different?

        What I have written are a series of known facts and asked a series of questions over the unknowns.

        You say thaty he is unlikely to need Ukrainian dirty money, the proof however is against you, and you offer none to support your opinion.

        Greed does not set a limit, and as with Tony BLiar a £200 million income was insufficient for him and his greedy weasel wife. Similarly with David Cameron caught lobbying to make himself very wealthy indeed. Both these people led what might be termed conventional lives with a wife and kids, Boris does not live a conventional life, and his power mad money crazed wife is going to need some serious wonga to support once he’s left office.

            I never said that I offered any proof he would do it which would of course be impossible, however the point I did make which is supported by proof is that weapons were given at no cost and with no corresponding benefit to the UK therefore giving rise to the suspicion someone might be up to no good.

            You are looking at the wrong side of the contract with Biden, you should be looking at the other party and their willingness to pay politicians money in large amounts.

      Sadly, I believe the root of the self-hatred of the country can be found in George Orwell and the lefties post WW1. After revisiting The Road to Wigan Pier and marvelling in his social commentary on mining lives in the 1930’s, I rediscovered the second part: A 5-hours lecture on how much better the lower classes/other countries are.

      I guess Winston Smith’s “the hope lies in the proletariat” in 1984 is Orwelll as the anti-England/pro-least successful was fashionable with the increasingly powerful middle classes as a means to attack the ruling class.

    Acres of fluff and guff have been written and spoken about the Will Smith incident at the Oscars – not least by the BBC who love that sort of nonsense.

    The bien-pensants, the wokerati, the glitterati and the twitterati have been getting their knickers in a twist over the rights and wrongs of it all. (But who cares? One creep bitch-slapped another – who cares?)

    Of course it’s all one big soufflé of meaningless, vapid, empty nonsense, like so much of our contemporary ‘culture’.

    However, in amongst all the nonsense, a few interesting nuggets have emerged.

    One such is Jim Carrey, who said in the interview below: “I was sickened by the standing ovation… Hollywood is spineless, en masse… this is a really clear indication that we’re not the cool club anymore.”

    Mark those words: We’re not the cool club anymore.

    Indeed not; for all your woke posturing, your predictable banal speeches on feminism (yawn), gay-ism (yawn), black-ism (ditto), trans-ism (“), environmentalism (“)… and i probably missed a few isms – for all your right-on, virtue-signalling posturing, YOU’RE JUST NOT COOL.

    Which is why fewer and fewer people watch a bunch of some of the most immoral, depraved, corrupt, overpaid, worthless individuals on the planet give each other awards and lecture us on ethics.

    But it goes beyond Hollywood. The ‘uncool’ factor is what will bring down the whole, lefty, woke house of cards. The hoi polloi are waking up, they’re getting red-pilled, they’re not swallowing the propaganda anymore, whether from Hollywood or the BBC.

    It’s the same awakening that causes swimming fans to shout: He’s a MAN!; that causes stadium-fulls of sports fans to chant Let’s go Brandon; and school mums in America to reject their young children being taught the wonders of pornography, gay sex and gender confusion.

    And hopefully, it’s the same movement that will sweep away the BBC and all it stands for.

    BBC, YOU’RE NOT COOL ANYMORE.

      In October 2017, following sexual abuse allegations dating back to the late 1970s, Weinstein was dismissed from his company and expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. More than 80 women had made allegations against Weinstein by October 31.[4] The allegations sparked the #MeToo social media campaign and many sexual abuse allegations against powerful men around the world; this phenomenon is referred to as the “Weinstein effect”. Weinstein was arrested and charged with rape in New York in May 2018. He was found guilty of two of five felonies in February 2020,[5] was sentenced to 23 years in prison,[6] and started serving his sentence at Wende Correctional Facility. His earliest possible release date is November 9, 2039, when he will be 87.[7][8] On July 20, 2021, he was extradited to Los Angeles to face further charges at a subsequent trial.

    The Shrewsbury hospital inquiry .

    Now I’m not sure how much coverage the BBC is giving this – but I’ve got the report and will scan it .

    The harm done is immeasurable – but I am interested in evidence to support my prejudice about the ‘health professional mafia ‘….

    It’s not just about the working practice of that Trust – but about failures to declare mistakes – killings – cover ups ranging from staff right up to the CQC and Royal Colleges across those years and cases .

    I listened to the both the current health Secretary and the former one -Jeremy Hunt – who were unable to ‘name names ‘ because of the ongoing plod inquiry – which I predict will go no where because of silence and destroyed records .

    Javid said that a number of people responsible have been struck off or moved ….

    I assume the BBC won’t be laying into its favourite organisation – the NHS – as much as it should –

    If all of that happened at Shrewsbury – I wonder how many other hospitals had the same ‘bad practices ‘ and attitudes regarding killing babies and mothers …
