Ukraine war: Drone attack targets Russian Black Sea fleet in Crimea
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62618538
Every time you read a specifically worded headline like that on the BBC and it’s just a bit odd, it’s ALWAYS because they are trying to mislead you.
The drone didn’t attack anything. It was shot down. And going by the smoke where it landed, it wasn’t carrying explosives.
Our National, unbiased, tax-payer funded news organisation and I don’t believe a single word they say until I verify it on the internet. Everything is warped by their own agenda.
I would never have believed it could get this bad.

There was a drone and the Russians said . “It fell on the roof of the headquarters,”
video shows a large plume of smoke from the zone of the HQ
If we said a drone ended up on the roof of the Houses of parliament and there was a massive plume of smoke
Wouldn’t we say that was an attack ?
The Crimea has been under attack
eg aircraft on the ground there were recently destroyed

“‘Ditch the licence!’ Naga Munchetty slammed by BBC viewers over ‘bias’ Mick Lynch probe
NAGA MUNCHETTY has been criticised by BBC Breakfast viewers over her interview with union boss Mick Lynch.
Mick Lynch spoke to Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast as industrial action on the rail network continued on Saturday. However, the grilling was criticised by some BBC viewers who felt Munchetty failed to press Mr Lynch when he “avoided answering questions” and compared the interview to instances when Munchetty and her co-host Charlie Stayt clashed with Tory MPs.”
BBC Breakfast viewers weren’t happy with the interview and took to Twitter to complain.
@GaryHay54193354 tweeted: “@BBCBreakfast journalists don’t challenge anything that #MickLynch says, but Charlie and Naga are like a Rottweiler when it’s a member of the government.”
@IanTipton8 quipped: “@BBCBreakfast What a difference between Charlie’s interview with Grant Shapps yesterday and Naga’s with Mick Lynch this morning.
“Charlie was aggressive, kept interrupting and at times rude. Naga didn’t interrupt once and didn’t press him on any point. Terrible bias.”
“@BBCBreakfast Naga fails to put Mick Lynch under pressure unlike her interviews with politicians, is this a demonstration of her own views or BBC dictat. Mick Lynch like politicians avoided answering questions,” @totting17216039 remarked.

Ofcom finds BBC guilty of impartiality breaches over Ruth Davidson interview
Regulator says World at One failed to properly balance suggestions democracy had become corrupted under SNP government
The BBC was guilty of breaching impartiality rules when it allowed the then Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, to accuse the Scottish government of corruption on air.
The broadcasting regulator Ofcom said BBC Radio 4’s news programme World at One had failed to properly balance Davidson’s allegations.

“Former acting ICE director calls Biden’s handling of the border ‘almost treasonous’
‘I’m pissed off every morning I wake up, because we handed this president the most secure border in my lifetime. We worked hard with President Trump to get illegal immigration to an all-time low. This is the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and intentionally unsecured the border and he caused such a surge. It’s already 2 million this year. It’s overwhelmed the Border Patrol, up to 70% of Border Patrol agents have been pulled off the line. What’s that resulted in? It’s resulted in huge amounts of fentanyl coming across the border that are killing U.S. Americans — over 100,000. It has caused known, suspected terrorists to be arrested and 900,000 got-aways. Who knows how many of them are known, suspected terrorists? It is killing migrants.

They’re inhumane. They’re killing people. When President Trump had illegal immigration down 83%, when it was at a 40-year low, how many Americans weren’t dying of fentanyl? How many migrants weren’t dying? How many? How many millions of dollars were the cartels not making? How many known, suspected terrorists weren’t making it across the border? This president — what he’s done is almost treasonous, and every day I wake up, I’m upset. “

F*** ing unbelievable: USA in 2022:
“White people banned from off-campus UC Berkeley student housing common areas,
The Berkeley co-op also states that residents must alert others when they intend to bring White guests to the house
A private housing co-op just off the University of California, Berkeley campus has banned White visitors in common areas or without consent from other tenants.
The “Person of Color Theme House” is a housing co-op located near UC Berkeley that “aims to provide housing to low-income, first generation, immigrant and marginalized students of color,” according to its website.
It is a private venture and is not affiliated with the university.
In a leaked photo of “house rules” for the co-op, tenants are instructed not to bring White guests to the home without permission and to keep White guests from common areas.”

We reported that the acclaimed British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley is to become a German citizen. We said he was giving up his British passport because of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union and that he had described the move as embarrassing and had plans for new sculptures that would reflect his view.
In fact Sir Antony Gormley is not giving up his British nationality and has asked us to make clear the circumstances behind his application for a German passport.
Sir Antony holds dual nationality as a result of having a German mother and has decided to apply for a German passport, which he will hold alongside his British one.
In a statement he says he remains a proud British citizen and is grateful for the extraordinary support he has received from so many people and institutions across the UK but he is also keen to retain his links with and continue to show his work in Europe.
We apologise for the mistake.

On the Welsh regional page of the Beeb’s webshite today, there’s a reasonably interesting article about a 1,000 year-old map of the U.K. depicting two islands off the Ceredigion coast that no longer exist but could be connected to the legend of Cantre’r Gwaelod – a lost land supposedly sunken below Cardigan Bay.
As I said it’s interesting enough – however the article is completely ruined by its needless last sentence: “With rising sea levels and more intense storms it’s been suggested that people living around Cardigan Bay could become some of Britain’s first climate change refugees, within our lifetimes.”
They can’t let it go even just for one article can they!

Star Feminine Band are a group of teenage musicians living in Benin that make music to bring awareness to issues surrounding the rights of women and girls.
They sing in multiple local languages to reach a wider audience and now they’re getting recognition beyond Benin’s borders, touring internationally.
They told BBC Africa What’s New that “music is our passion”.
Producers: Debula Kemoli and Miriam O’Donkor

Women in Benin have gained more rights since the restoration of democracy and the ratification of the Constitution, and the passage of the Personal and Family Code in 2004. These both overrode various traditional customs that systematically treated women unequally. Still, inequality and discrimination persist.

Terrorism
Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Benin.
On 8 February 2022, 7 national park staff and 1 military personnel were killed and 12 people were injured when two separate vehicle convoys hit improvised explosive devices in the tri-border area of the Parc National du W.
On 2 December 2021, at least 2 people were killed in an attack in the northern border area of Porga.

Local laws and customs
Benin is one of the main centres of voodoo practices and that culture remains prevalent. You should research and respect religious and social traditions to avoid offending local sensitivities.
Possession, use or trafficking in illegal drugs is a serious offence and can result in lengthy prison sentences and heavy fines.
Photography near sensitive or government sites, like military installations or the airport, is strictly prohibited.
Homosexuality is legal in Benin, but homosexual relationships are not universally accepted. You should be discreet. See our information and advice page for the LGBT community before you travel.
You should politely and firmly decline requests for ‘gifts’ from officials to facilitate administrative matters.

Must be worrying for the BBC for any adverse comment by a leading British politician . For so long they’ve been immune from challenge or criticism .
Very few describe the techniques the BBC uses – for instance John Redwood sometimes describes pre interview discussions about content and then finds his interview ‘cancelled ‘- or going on to talk about one subject but then getting ambushed .
There must be a price for this . Politicians deserve to be called to explain but I’d submit that too often it is more of an attack then an interview .
Liz truss might as well tell it how it is because we already have the bbc in full anti mode . When she takes the office they will switch to ‘election ‘ mode along with their Red Labour friends …

The policy is called Appeasement.
Published: Tuesday, August 14, 2001
But religious groups are like all other groups: they often fall short of the very ideals and doctrines they preach. I wonder whether these programmes will show the faults of Muslims as well as their considerable virtues? The BBC has a long history of subjecting Christianity to severe criticism. Will Islam receive the same treatment? I doubt it – because the BBC has an even longer history of defending ethnic and religious minorities against what it regards as the prejudiced majority.
Everyone is terrified of being damned as “racist”, and so criticisms of ethnic minorities tend to get suppressed out of an entirely understandable fear of being condemned or even brought before the law. The BBC won’t say a word this week against some of those who practise Islam. This is a pity because certain criticisms need to be made. Why, for example, are the Muslim Taliban in Afghanistan threatening to execute foreign aid workers whom they accuse of preaching Christianity? Why, even as I write, has the government of Pakistan expelled eight aid workers for the same alleged “crime”? Imagine the outcry from the BBC if this sort of religious prejudice were ever to be perpetrated by Christians in England.

I suspect from the barrage of news about droughts, crumbling water infastructure, that we’re being softened up for big increase in water charges.
What happened to the idea that “investors” invested in the business with the risk that profits might or might not be made? What happened to regulation? Perhaps there should be a rights issue to capitalise them
The water companies, like Network Rail were sold off with massive property holdings, many of which have been sold off to benefit shareholders.
Perhaps the BBC could do some proper journalism?

“U.S. Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry has received intense criticism and backlash from conservatives for her activism in sports over the weekend. During the U.S. Olympic Trials on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, where Berry placed third and secured her spot in the Tokyo summer Olympics next month, Berry turned her back on the American flag as the national anthem played. As the song continued, she draped a black T-shirt with the words “Activist Athlete” over her head. ”

An item on Palestinian demonstrations marking Nakba Day referred to “thousands of Palestinians leaving their homes” following the declaration of the State of Israel. Two listeners complained that this gave a misleading impression of the scale of Palestinian displacement and the extent to which it was the result of coercion. The complaint was partly upheld.

As thousands of athletes prepare to compete on the global stage at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Olympic gold medallist and double world champion diver Tom Daley wants to shine a light on an issue that he cares passionately about. Some competitors live in fear of horrific brutality inside the countries they represent. With punishments including whipping, life imprisonment and even death, it is illegal to be gay in over half of the 56 member states of the Commonwealth.

I am watching the Newcastle-Manchester City on Sky Sports.
The BBC must be so jealous of Sky, ITV , BT and all the
other commercial stations that give us adverts. It’s half
time and 100% of the adverts feature mixed race families,
black men shaving, black women driving etc etc etc. You
have got to feel sorry for the BBC.
So far as the adverts are concerned do the advertising agencies
and the companies they produce adverts really think that
near to 90% of the UK population are “influenced” by these
adverts? But maybe the companies are gearing the adverts
towards the 3% black audience? Or do they
really think that woke” virtue signalling” sells products?

I have to presume Dan has an agent and manager, with other clients with careers not from The BBC bunker.
So it seems odd that neither warned Dan that hitting twitter to make himself look like a bigger tool than he is already seriously impacts the vig his lucrative deals see goes their way.
