You could always courier your TV (in a box) and send it off to the BBC.
This will save taking it to the dump. After all these days you need to go online, book a slot, give your car registration, arrive on time, show proof of ID, get finger printed, and facial recognised and all sorts just to dump rubbish.
Has anyone seen any real news about WHY Suella and Truss both said they were unable to implement their manifesto ?
What’s going on ? Is it that the Tory MPs refused to cooperate ?
Truss did get the fracking bill through
but is she saying that was the last straw, and that she can’t swim against the tide like that all the time ?
Was she a victim of intimation, were her family threatened etc ?
Not willing to go along with the WEF agenda of restricted fuel and energy supplies. Penny Mordaunt, as a big mate of Bill Gates, who even wrote the foreward to her book, would have no such scruples. And don’t expect much in the way of criticism of Mordaunt by the BBC, who have received millions from Gates over the years. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you…
A neighbour was just watching a Channel5 series where a black historian “Walking Victorian Britain”
When I checked I see the series started a year ago.
Of course anyone of any skin colour can be a good presenter
and any presenter can be affected by producers insisting that racebaity items are pushed.
I see Edgehill University PR people hijacked him for their PR
Excited for this @EHU_ISR event with Dr Nubia who is currently on @channel5_tv presenting Walking Victorian Britain. It is an extension of our wider programme to celebrate Black history – as our diverse programme of events doesn't end with #BlackHistoryMonth#WeAreEHUhttps://t.co/sBn5xD0kbP
ITVs campaigning anti-Boris reporter Paul Brand
got a reply from Henry Bolton OBE š¬š§ To say something like this citing only āsourcesā, is the height of despicable journalism
@PaulBrandITV it amounts to interference in the democratic process.
Say what your sources are, so they can be corroborated, or be accused of outrageous political bias
Some MPs from the governing party (or parties) become government ministers with specific responsibilities in certain areas, such as Health or Defence. These MPs do not stop working for their constituency and, whatever their role in Government or Parliament, will still hold regular surgeries to help their constituents.
Jonny ‘Disjointed’ Dymond was in the place of the Montacutie, and there was a lot of mention of the ‘Br’ word. I couldn’t help feeling that we are being ‘softened up’ for a Labour Party U-turn if the sucker in charge of lame Labour should win the next General Election with a majority. If they don’t get a majority then almost certainly a Rejoin EU Referendum will be demanded by the LimpNondems and the SNP as the price for their support of a Labour coalition government.
Up2
But what about a predicted huge Labour majority ? Say 200 ? Does starmer get replaced by a full on Far Left remainer who has made promises ?
I suppose that although there is little spending difference between red and blue labour – the red one is more likely to to drive a Rejoin narrative – aided by its broadcasting wing ā¦.
The post dubbed fake audience noises were spectacularly rubbish.
The panel were teenagers? I say this not as an old curmudgeon but as somebody genuinely interested as to how they arrived at their shallow, sneery + ignorant posturing.
I think the human body is changing. There are now very few who are blessed with a ‘mature’ voice, and certainly its rare to find a chap who is in possession of a deep timbre. Most sound like a pimply 17 year old, then you find they’re 38 ! Equally how many chaps are over 6′ these days ?
Anyone else notice that Tom Harwood – GB news commentator, has undergone a makeover ? gone is the weird hairstyle, and more hair has sprouted around his mouth. Year he was born ? 1996 !!!!! I have tights older than him !
What a shame that presenters Sarah Smith, Justin Webb and Anthony Zurcher (ably supported by the silly disinformation lady apparently) can’t get Kari Lake on – I’d pay Ā£10 to hear that.
As an example of sneery slime – the trailer was top notch.
Are other stories being suppressed as the media get obsessed with leadership speculation and vox pops ?
– The Labour MP Christian Matheson scandal has been buubling since the Labour conference
– Did yesterday’s publication of the Child Abuse Protection report get enough attention ?
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has published its concluding Report.
I did hear it briefly mentioned
The context was news that it makes reporting mandatory.
But I didn’t hear any talk about how contentious that is.
In principle it seems entirely logical that if a teacher is told that a child has been abused he must report that to police. However many professionals argue if a child knows that grandad will be taken away, the child will decide to never confide in a teacher etc.
So the situation is never improved.
The thing is most situations are never as simple as the public imagine, and that is often better that cops don’t go storming into the house.
And of course the horrific child abuse committed by Pakistani Muslim men gets covered up by the Police and Labour councils as usual.
Doesn’t get a mention.

When was it banned ? I have just read your post .
The website is called “biasedbbc”.
Do you have any bias to report or are you just trolling ?
Have you paid the Telly Tax yet or do you get it Free?
āWhen was it banned ? I have just read your post.ā
The only reason you a reading that one post is because Fedup2 has gone to bed. My previous posts this evening have been deleted for no other reason that they donāt fit the narrative. They contained no insults or āfoul languageā. It is of course Fedupās prerogative, but you should be aware how this site operates.
My recent HYS post got deleted because saying ‘Now back to your homework’ might offend someone who wrote a completely off-topic rant about Brexit which was so full of spite, it would shame a petulant 12 year old.
OK maxi : let’s check whether what you say is the truth or a blatant lie you just made up.
Anyone who had a post deleted because it didn’t ‘fit the narrative’, please list it here. Don’t include any posts removed because of other reasons (such as bad language).
What do you think about that scumbag who works for BBC radio 3 trying to get the excellent Mark Steyn kicked out of a job at GBNews by constant complaints to Ofcom?
I would say that the BBC is stuffed full of vicious and nasty people with severe chips on their shoulders. They just can’t stand people with different views.
Is that really your plan maxi ?. Post foul racist language then complain no debate is allowed when it gets deleted ?.
I never saw you enter a debate for anything at all. You bait and insult in bad faith because you are just another spiteful far-left troll. 10 a penny. The scum of the internet.
You should stop drinking and try to be a better person.
āIs that really your plan maxi ?. Post foul racist language then complain no debate is allowed when it gets deleted ?.ā
The only time I have ever used āfoul racist languageā on this site is when Iāve quoted the words of other people on this website. But you know that already.
Someone mentioned someone else and you quoted what THAT person said (well, what you allege he said anyway and you probably took it completely out of context as you usually do). Not related to the thread at all – just so you could get your foul language onto this site. Presumably so it would come up in search engines.
“Tory leadership: How secure is the online vote?” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/63344131
How secure is any vote these days?
How secure was the vote to depose President Trump?
Then the BBC seem to see fit to describe the wording of this summons in more detail:
Addressing him, the document reads: “You were at the center of the first and only effort by any US President to overturn an election.”
It goes on: “You knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional.”
So he’s been pronounced guilty just in the summons to go give evidence !!!. What kind of legal system is this ?. It’s absolutely absurd. This is proper 3rd world banana republic stuff.
Then they play the extremely convenient, extremely late, extremely carefully edited Pelosi video again.
I wonder if some elections are coming up so the Left are playing their dirty tricks again ?. OK for CNN – that’s why they are going broke – but it’s outrageous the BBC are campaigning for the Democrats with UK taxpayers money.
Iām sure that many users of this site will be familiar with Samantha Smith, the articulate girl who has appeared often on the GBN Mark Steyn show relating her dreadful experience at the hands of the Telford Pakistani rape gang and the local Police. She makes it absolutely clear that h the men who repeatedly raped her were Pakistani and Steyn is very clear about this also.
Yesterday she wrote a column for the supposedly centre right magazine the Spectator about her experiences. There was no mention of the origin of those who repeatedly raped her!! Surely their origin is one of the most pertinent points in the sad story and one which Samantha would Iām certain of wanted in her article but this leading political magazine chose not to include it .
How pathetic . It reflects the hopeless state of Britain today , one of our leading right of centre magazines can not , dare not tell the truth about the most awful crimes being committed right across the country.
Our political establishment from all parties has betrayed us for the last thirty years in all manner of ways, this just being one of them. They disgust me. Itās a pity that bonfire night is a dwindling tradition. But thank God for GBN and Steyn who will tell us the truth regardless of the wishes of the slimey elite.
I forgot to add that almost unprecedently no comments were allowed on this article by the Spectator. They knew many readers would correct their attempt to censor by omission. I think that Samantha might have been better advised to have withdrawn the article when she realised that no reference to the origins of the rapists would be allowed.
Police officers in Rotherham were not equipped to deal with the widespread child sex abuse that plagued the town for more than 15 years, according to a new report. The long-awaited findings from the police watchdog are the latest in a series of inquiries into a scandal that has cast a shadow over South Yorkshire.
In September 2012, The Times published an article revealing that a confidential 2010 police report had warned thousands of child sexual exploitation crimes were being committed in South Yorkshire each year by networks of Asian men.
Her report, published in 2014, found at least 1,400 children were subjected to sexual abuse and she detailed how girls as young as 11 were raped, trafficked, abducted, beaten, and intimidated by men predominantly of Pakistani heritage.
Asian men.
Pakistani heritage.
āI donāt think this was a phenomena (gang r*pe culture) that was invented in the last few years. It really wasnāt. Itās been part of our society probably for centuries and centuries and centuries. Itās hard to really know exactly what is really going up and what is changing. ā ā Cressida Dick @2:38
The truth of the matter is that the Pakistani Muslim rapers consider these white girls who wear make-up and show flesh to be trash. They are only fit to be items of pleasure for good Muslim men. They see nothing wrong at all with raping them.
How many times have you seen that basic truth reported in any of our media or stated by the police ?.
The most important thing about this though is that they are not individual rapists. They are groups of people who all know what they are doing and they have no problem with it. They discuss it freely. It’s many times worse than a lone white rapist : it’s ‘institutional approval’.
Valid points DT but in fairness to the Spectator, the article in the previous week’s edition:
‘For whose protection? The scandalous failure to collect ethnicity data in child grooming cases’ by Harriet Sargeant already covered the subject in detail.
Some will say this doesn’t excuse the failures in the treatment of Samantha Smith’s article, but they have accepted the reality of the situation – and there may be reasons to protect Sam we’re unaware of.
Yes itās true that the Spectator Sargent article was very clear that Pakistani men were the culprits in the overwhelming majority of cases. Thank you for reminding me. But what can the Speccie be protecting Samantha from? After all she has stated who her rapists were many times on GBN.
A bit of light relief…..It’s not often that your hear the truth on TV, especially the BBC. However ITV’s “The Chase” managed it on Friday.
Up steps contestant four, a massively obese black woman, probably 40 plus stone. Actually we don’t see her step up, she was in place at the table sat on a stool, presumably because she was incapable of standingup for five minutes
Anyway, Brad in his normal preamble asks her what her hobbies and interests are.
Just looking for something to listen to while I work and thought it’s been a while since I was inclined to listen to Ken Bruce.
So I went to the BBC sounds page and the first episode I saw the ‘tracks of my years’ guest is ‘Gok Wan’ who is some kind of mixed-race, gay, fashion designer/chef/whatever.
We all know the far left fascists are the ultimate lying, duplicitous, hypocrites but it is useful for it to be confirmed on this site by our resident troll.
They immediately cancel any opinions and posts they do not like on facebook, twitter, the bbc and any other platforms they control even including those of a democratically elected US President.
Yet this one, who has had his weekly ad hominem attacks on other site members left intact for years, has the audacity to say:
“Any counter opinion now banned from this website. No debate allowed. ”
Jesus, is he mental ? or just thick as shit ?
Anosognosia, also called “lack of insight,” is a symptom of severe mental illness experienced by some that impairs a person’s ability to understand and perceive his or her illness. It is the single largest reason why people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder refuse medications or do not seek treatment.
Enough for him to be permanently cancelled here IMHO
I’ve noticed he is become increasingly unstable sometimes. I suspect he is either drunk or taking some kind of medication to control his mood swings.
This is absolutely typical of the ideologically driven far-Left. They are unable to cope with the compromises needed in the real world and as such tend to be very shallow personalities who easily swing from far too much compassion to pure spite.
Which of course is why they tend to go into false-reality careers such as teaching, journalism and acting.
I personally enjoy seeing maxi get his face slapped here because he deserves it. He is an unpleasant creature. You can be 100% sure he spends a lot of time brooding over what we post which is also satisfying.

Sorry to spoil your fun . But I get fed up because there is never engagement – never debate – just late night cut and paste and run away to watch the reaction . Which is pitiful and rather sad .

Complete immersion in blue labour stuff – not a sound about red labour – guess itās part of the drive to make them look clean .. but ginger growler as deputy PM – please ā¦
There is a difference between genuine debate
and disingenuous debate, when someone shows up to spoil debate and not seriously engage.
Why do people have strange views ?
Cognitive dissonance.
They have a strong worldview and then someone presents evidence that contradicts that worldview, unable to cope with the idea the might be wrong the person lashes out with anger and insults etc.

“REVEALED: How Albanian gangsters fighting for control of the UK’s cannabis market are posting social media videos of kidnappings and beatings as a warning to rival gangs
TikTok videos, some with more than 10,000 views, feature badly injured victims
One shows an Albanian forcing victim to admit he broke into a cannabis factory
Traffickers offering illegal migrants chance to work in factories to pay off debts
Criminologists say gangs are running the social media blitz to advertise strength”
Hellbanianz belong to the āretail gameā of the cocaine trade. They are the street dealers and enforcers of the Mafia Shqiptare, the Albanian organised criminal syndicates who, the National Crime Agency believe, are consolidating power within the UK criminal underworld and on their way to a near total takeover of the UKās Ā£5bn cocaine market.
…
Such relationship-building has left Liverpool as the only part of England not routinely selling Albanian-sourced cocaine. Not only has the Merseyside port its own direct access to South America, Saggers says that its turf is jealously guarded by the cityās own criminal gangs.
I too would like see Boris back in No10. Not because I think that he would stop his green rubbish or because he would clamp down on immigration, or fight the culture war with vigour . No I want him back in No10 because it would really annoy the MSM .
I reckon that the last year has clearly demonstrated that a British PM can only pursue policies which have the backing of the WEF et al. In effect we are ruled by supranational unaccountable bodies and if we try to rule ourselves in a way they donāt like they bring us to our knees quickly and easily. Westminster has as much power as a local council unless it pursues the agreed international policies.
So democracy is dead , we live in the post democratic era , what next? Acceptance or resistance? Does anyone think that fat flabby lazy Britain , or the whole of the West for that matter, has any will to resist and endure the hardship that would bring?
If the polls remain as bad as they are – blue labour might as well put nut nut and co back in their place –
Popcorn sales will go through the roof – and there will be a weird āfeel good ā ā feel bad ā factor –

But isnāt the comedy great ? They even filmed nut nutsā plane landing at Gatwick Saturday morning – and we must be due for āinterviews ā with fellow passengers ..
Tell us whether nut nut ate his excellent BA complementary nuts or took them with him for later..
He looks like a bit of a cheeky monkey to me in that picture. Not very flattering at all.
I notice that the BBC don’t let you link to text and images on the main headline page – and that is where they do some of their dirtiest work. It’s amazing how often the headline morphs into something softer for the article which gets archived.
In the article piece by the Marianna clone quota reporter ‘Nomia Iqbal’, she says she asked to passengers about it:
How do they feel about his return to office? āIād rather an election.ā
Of course they did Nomia. And if you use ‘they’ it should be ‘we’d rather an election’ as it’s plural. I’ll presume English is your second language.

Mod note
A number of troll posting were deleted last night . If a troll actually wants to engage and debate the Bias of the BBC – fair enough – but those posts were not in that class – just the usual cut and paste and run away .
Usually I will report that posts have been deleted . But I will not communicate with any troll . I also know that even writing this gifts a sense of grievance such creatures crave . So enjoy .
Interesting choice of words used in the 7 a.m. News: Boris Johnson forced out of office after a series of scandals; former President Trump called to give evidence about the attack on the Capitol building.
Is it because the BBC know their could be consequences over their actions? Maybe Boris did have some checks made by ‘Five’ and will present a dossier to the House Committee Investigating him? Was not Liz Truss forced from office? OK, to be fair she went much further in the ‘fiscal event’ than she had promised during the leadership contest, in other words she bungled her mini-Budget. But wasn’t there some forcing going on, BBC?
Then, BBC, when is a demonstration an ‘attack’, purely when it is something that you the BBC do not approve of? What about the ‘attack’ on the QE2 Bridge across the Thames? The ‘attack’ on the National Gallery? The ‘attack’ on New Scotland Yard?

In just a few decades when the whites are a minority here I wonder if the bbbc will start putting lots of white men into their programs and advertisers will start putting white men in their adverts (apart from the ones who are there to be stupid, dim and gormless)

Apart from eye drops I canāt think of anything they could be used for. Fashion wise, 50 shades of black for their going out clothes maybe.
TOADY Watch #2 – it is obvious the BBC are terrified of a BBC: Bumbling Boris Comeback
Why? If they are a totally impartial news-reporting Corporation, why be worried about the next leader of the Conservative Party? In evidence, I submit M’Lud, the 8.45 a.m. Newspaper review which was partial, restricted to the supposedly Conservative supporting titles and only dealing with the subject of a Bumbling Boris Comeback.
BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast
BBC Radio 5 Live, Wednesday 3 January 2018
During a phone-in on the programme a contributor, Danielle Tiplady was introduced as a staff nurse. We should have established and made clear on air that she was a political activist.
Um, how long is the air flight from the Dominican Republique ? Since 2 pm yesterday afternoon I’ve heard that Boris “is in the air”, and even this morning he is “in the air flying home”, Is he flying via Toronto ?
Guido is calling it for Rishi as the first to pass the 100 nominations threshold, thanks to Matt Hancock. Which means he just needs to declare his candidacyā¦ unless he is contemplating a dealā¦
order-order
To say that Boris is the least worst dickhead isn’t much of a recommendation as far as I’m concerned – sadly the MSM will likely drive the bulk vote unless somebody has the cohones to take them on directly.
There really aren’t any impressive candidates at present.
If Badenoch throws her hat into the ring again and gets going – that might liven things up a bit.
Despite no coverage – the lady of the āright ā took over leadership of the Italian government on `Friday . The MSM now think if they donāt report such stuff it never happened –
-a bit like the election itself where – you might recall – she made some good common sense speeches in `English telling the woke kidults they are wrong – on just so much ..
I hope she lasts longer in her post than the soon to be appointed outgoing blue labour PM .
( and Iām intrigued about how the coming interest rise on 3 November is going to be used to ādiss ā the new/old PM – who ever he / she is / isnāt ā¦.
( marky – just seen your comment on Italy above – thanks )

Truss resignation: Global media ask what’s happened to Britain – reflects the BBC, provocatively.
The globalist media is best interpreted by the FT and the message is clear enough: ‘Johnson cannot be allowed the last laugh’ – says Camilla Cavendish, projecting the anti-Boris project fear: Could the Tory turmoil get even worse?
The lady seems to forget how Boris, for all his faults – and they were legion, was bookended by our two worst Tory female PMs in history.
The FT headline is a clear editorial statement that purports to speak, rather frankly, for the pink paper’s constituency: Investors and MPs alarmed by idea of Johnson’s return to No10
The FT’s constituency, you ask?
Think along the lines of what author Joseph Conrad termed ‘material interests’ in his 1904 novel Nostromo set in the fictitious, ostensibly independent, South American republic of “Costaguana” – a colourful little province beset with civil wars, revolutions, separatist breakaway regions and repeatedly overthrown short-lived central governments.
Costaguana is a developing country, but it is different from Conrad’s other settings for his novels, the Malay Archipelago and the Congo; those latter regions were colonies, whereas the former is apparently politically independent (āthe great Liberator Bolivarā had seen to that). Whereas Costaguana belonged to the financial āempireā of the US-based corporate interest of the Holroyds and Sir John – you get the picture? We’ll leave that thought before this press review turns into Cliffs Notes

I wonder who will be the first to try and make the new PM’s election a race issue, not just skate around the issue, but just say the ‘Sunak isn’t an indigenous British man – we want someone who is’!
I know I’d hate to go over to the US and try and be a politician there, it’s bad enough still, especially in the South!
Itās sort of funny that whoever becomes the new PM the narrative will be for a General Election – which was the progression I predicted after the fall of nut nut .
So it might be a bit like the last year ? Of the last rotten parliament where the speaker connived to block brexit –
This time it will be to dissolve parliament – I just hope the king stays quiet ā- not even an āoh dear āā¦
Any opposition party worth its salt, at any time, has to at least pretend to want a General Election – then when they see the polls turn in their favour it becomes an imperative.
Of course one conspiracy theory says the Tories have glimpsed the disastrous national bank balance and would prefer to pass the buck – or lack of it – to Labour.
Everybody knows the British people aren;t going to vote for a leader like Sunak. It will be electoral suicide. And of course the BBC know it.
And when they tell us it’s because we are all racist, they will totally ignore the reason why Kahn was elected or why complete racist idiots like Lammy were elected.

Johnda, the BBC are pushing for Sunak because the BBC know that as soon as he settles in to No.10 the BBC can attack him for having a wealthy father-in-law and a non-domiciled for tax purposes wife.
The BBCās and The Guardians panicky shrilling over the prospect of a Boris return are a mirror image of what the left are up to in the USA. Set up kangaroo courts of press opinion, no doubt that if Boris announces his intention to run they will dust off the lefty lawyers to try to throw every spurious spike they can at him.

I wouldn’t put them on the same level.

Who needs JSO/XR when you’ve bonkers eco activists running the local council?
Most local councils are failing miserably to handle traffic in an evidenced pragmatic manner. The woke eco twerps on councils are pulling all sorts of stunts to attack transport infrastructure – no glue or XR branded hiviz gilets required.
Rabidly anti vehicle BANES council in Bath has essentially blocked the southbound A36 (a national primary route) driving traffic into surrounding minor roads with their (deliberately) botched Cleveland Bridge repair. The “CAZ” BANES council put in is a farce. The 20mph zones they implemented unequivocally caused an increase in accidents.
My street is a rat run – historically a short campaign (and plod revenue opportunity) served to attenuate unwanted (and illegal) flows of vehicles for 6 months+ Nowdays the plods will send a team out to interview somebody purportedly misgendering a random eejit on Facebook but refuse to round up and fine dozens of people ignoring road signage.
The BBC framing the debate such as it is and twiddling with the Overton window is a measure of how in control they feel.
We (not the public / voters) are being presented with a farcical choice between truly insipid (or worse) establishment candidates who are all in thrall to the media machine trying to get the prescribed boxes ticked.
The entrenched political class and public sector are profoundly ignorant and near entirely self interested. They will insulate themselves from the consequences of their policies and the stale recipe/game of establishment politics will continue to produce the sort of duff goods we’ve been seeing for years.

Amazing how they can be so concerned about online voting here and also about Trumps subpoena before the Jan 06 3rd world farce, but won’t even mention the huge possibilities for cheating in USA elections. They even state ‘false claims’ without any evidence that they are false. At the very least they should say ‘unproven claims’.
You can be 100% sure that if Trump won and the Democrats claimed he cheated, their coverage would be huge.

Today we learn the East of America has just 22 days of diesel supplies left, and when you learn that it’s down to the Green insanity again, it’s perhaps no surprise.
Because the Green loons are averse to any emissions they can see – but are quite comfortable with double triple or even ten times the amount when they can’t they have decided to ban the construction of new refineries in the USA, and the conversion of current ones to enable them to handle different types of fuel oil, even though this would make them more efficient and cleaner than they are now.
The solution – and I can assure you this is not a joke, is to load US crude onto tankers, ship it half way around the world to places like India to have it refined for them. The Indians realising how stupid the Americans are often add Russian oil derivatives and charge the Americans for this.
The whole lot is then shipped back to the USA for distribution where they claim it is a ‘Green’ solution.
You really have to wonder about the sanity of people who believe that out of sight out of mind means it isn’t happening!
And so all those heavy pieces of equipment such as trains, generators, trucks farm machinery, etc etc, will grind to a standstill and the Greens will cheer as the people starve and freeze to death !
Thoughtful -itās a pity – in a way – that there are not shortages yet – it might help the Republican turn out ( unless – of course – the votes are already counted ) ā¦.
Iām sure the democrat rich bloke who Tucker Carlson has focused will be elected even though his cognition and communication abilities are seriously damaged because of a recent serious stroke ā¦.
It actually gets worse, because I forgot that the French despite their own refineries being on strike or close by demostrators, and with enormous queues at filling stations many of which have run out, are actually sending their diesel to America !
There are shortages already of diesel but most Americans have petrol cars so wouldn’t notice it. Prices have begun to creep up again, Costco have increased diesel by 3p in a 2p & then a 1p rise over 3 days, and when the corrupt rape of the strategic oil reserve is over and it has to be refilled, I expect diesel will be touching Ā£3 a litre possibly as early as Xmas.
I filled one 20L Jerry can last week when it was at Ā£1.68 and maxed out the delivery (Ā£99 limit) I now need to fill another one for just in case.

Who’s actually in control? Why are the BBC keen to see a General Election? where do the BBC get its recruitment from and how much do they advertise? Google, Twitter, Facebook?
OK lets focus on one: The Guardian….(newspaper)
(Q) Since 2016 how much have you spent per year in advertising jobs in The Guardian? (FOI request 2021)
(A) In response to your request, there is no central record of advertising with The Guardian. In order to respond in full to your request the BBC would need to carry out a search of all departments across the BBC to investigate any purchase orders raised for advertising jobs in The Guardian over a six year period. We estimate that to carry out this search would take more than two and a half days. Under section 12 of the Act, we are al owed to refuse to handle the request if it would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit has been set by the Regulations (SI 2004/3244) as being Ā£450 (equivalent to two and a half days work, at an hourly rate of Ā£25).
….
As set out in section 6(1)(b)(ii) of the Act, our subsidiaries (including BBC Studioworks Limited, UKTV, BBC Global News Ltd and BBC Studios Ltd), as well as the charities BBC Media Action and BBC Children in Need, are not subject to the Act. As such, information relating to these entities is not considered in the above response.
(Translated: )
So basically we (BBC) can do what we want, We are immune! We fund what we want and you (a pleb) cannot afford the court case(s) if we are found guilty. Press accusations are not enough. And we can move funds ‘in’ and ‘out’ of charity (BBC ‘Children In Need’ for example, can fund: Stonewall, Mermaids, Kids Company who have done no wrong, even when challenged. Wee just divert the funds via another channel. Open Society funded donations are always welcome at the BBC and overt political causes. Climate Change EU law (ECHR*) – which is also open to Open Society members and donations. This used to be called bribery and corruption. Tony Blair, redesigned the system and made perfect by Gordon Brown (27,000 registered charities, many never used but recited EU proposed legislation (at the time). All was funded by central (Labour ) government as (new) Quango s. Many of them can ācross fundā each other – as attack dogs in Social Media (Trolling), Facebook, Twitter Feeds. Designed to spook the public in to believing that CRISIS is due entirely to ‘conservatives’ and right wing elements who get elected. We control THE CLIMATE.
The left does not often get elected. Hence it has to be via ‘other’ methods of thought control, Media can be controlled by other means, out of public control. We can refer to ECHR** to make it appear as being ādecidedā by A European Court of Justice.
But thanks to the unique way the BBC is funded its called the TV license.
This is why the BBC is important, it appears to be ‘pubically’ UK funded and independent (when viewed from another despot country). US and Europe have indentikat funding by Open Society. Hence the importance of The Guardian to the BBC. Its appears legitimate and cannot be questioned.
It must be considered that this nation its voting people should not by any bounds push to put Boris Johnson into the very important poistion of Prime Minister-a strong firm pair of hands are now on the tiller and Johnson’s are not the hands to have on that pillar, not it should be sadi are those of R Sunak-his appointment would send out all the wrong signals as has been echoed.

You could always courier your TV (in a box) and send it off to the BBC.
This will save taking it to the dump. After all these days you need to go online, book a slot, give your car registration, arrive on time, show proof of ID, get finger printed, and facial recognised and all sorts just to dump rubbish.

Are other stories being suppressed as the media get obsessed with leadership speculation and vox pops ?
– The Labour MP Christian Matheson scandal has been buubling since the Labour conference
– Did yesterday’s publication of the Child Abuse Protection report get enough attention ?
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has published its concluding Report.
Read it here – http://iicsa.org.uk/final-report
I did hear it briefly mentioned
The context was news that it makes reporting mandatory.
But I didn’t hear any talk about how contentious that is.
In principle it seems entirely logical that if a teacher is told that a child has been abused he must report that to police. However many professionals argue if a child knows that grandad will be taken away, the child will decide to never confide in a teacher etc.
So the situation is never improved.
The thing is most situations are never as simple as the public imagine, and that is often better that cops don’t go storming into the house.

This is the top headline in the world today (according to the BBC):
‘Trump gets legal summons from Capitol riot enquiry’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63319431
Then the BBC seem to see fit to describe the wording of this summons in more detail:
Addressing him, the document reads: “You were at the center of the first and only effort by any US President to overturn an election.”
It goes on: “You knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional.”
So he’s been pronounced guilty just in the summons to go give evidence !!!. What kind of legal system is this ?. It’s absolutely absurd. This is proper 3rd world banana republic stuff.
Then they play the extremely convenient, extremely late, extremely carefully edited Pelosi video again.
I wonder if some elections are coming up so the Left are playing their dirty tricks again ?. OK for CNN – that’s why they are going broke – but it’s outrageous the BBC are campaigning for the Democrats with UK taxpayers money.

Iām sure that many users of this site will be familiar with Samantha Smith, the articulate girl who has appeared often on the GBN Mark Steyn show relating her dreadful experience at the hands of the Telford Pakistani rape gang and the local Police. She makes it absolutely clear that h the men who repeatedly raped her were Pakistani and Steyn is very clear about this also.
Yesterday she wrote a column for the supposedly centre right magazine the Spectator about her experiences. There was no mention of the origin of those who repeatedly raped her!! Surely their origin is one of the most pertinent points in the sad story and one which Samantha would Iām certain of wanted in her article but this leading political magazine chose not to include it .
How pathetic . It reflects the hopeless state of Britain today , one of our leading right of centre magazines can not , dare not tell the truth about the most awful crimes being committed right across the country.
Our political establishment from all parties has betrayed us for the last thirty years in all manner of ways, this just being one of them. They disgust me. Itās a pity that bonfire night is a dwindling tradition. But thank God for GBN and Steyn who will tell us the truth regardless of the wishes of the slimey elite.

I forgot to add that almost unprecedently no comments were allowed on this article by the Spectator. They knew many readers would correct their attempt to censor by omission. I think that Samantha might have been better advised to have withdrawn the article when she realised that no reference to the origins of the rapists would be allowed.

Police officers in Rotherham were not equipped to deal with the widespread child sex abuse that plagued the town for more than 15 years, according to a new report. The long-awaited findings from the police watchdog are the latest in a series of inquiries into a scandal that has cast a shadow over South Yorkshire.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-61868863
In September 2012, The Times published an article revealing that a confidential 2010 police report had warned thousands of child sexual exploitation crimes were being committed in South Yorkshire each year by networks of Asian men.
Her report, published in 2014, found at least 1,400 children were subjected to sexual abuse and she detailed how girls as young as 11 were raped, trafficked, abducted, beaten, and intimidated by men predominantly of Pakistani heritage.
Asian men.
Pakistani heritage.

The truth of the matter is that the Pakistani Muslim rapers consider these white girls who wear make-up and show flesh to be trash. They are only fit to be items of pleasure for good Muslim men. They see nothing wrong at all with raping them.
How many times have you seen that basic truth reported in any of our media or stated by the police ?.
The most important thing about this though is that they are not individual rapists. They are groups of people who all know what they are doing and they have no problem with it. They discuss it freely. It’s many times worse than a lone white rapist : it’s ‘institutional approval’.

Valid points DT but in fairness to the Spectator, the article in the previous week’s edition:
‘For whose protection? The scandalous failure to collect ethnicity data in child grooming cases’ by Harriet Sargeant already covered the subject in detail.
Some will say this doesn’t excuse the failures in the treatment of Samantha Smith’s article, but they have accepted the reality of the situation – and there may be reasons to protect Sam we’re unaware of.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/13/kings-of-cocaine-albanian-mafia-uk-drugs-crime
Hellbanianz belong to the āretail gameā of the cocaine trade. They are the street dealers and enforcers of the Mafia Shqiptare, the Albanian organised criminal syndicates who, the National Crime Agency believe, are consolidating power within the UK criminal underworld and on their way to a near total takeover of the UKās Ā£5bn cocaine market.
…
Such relationship-building has left Liverpool as the only part of England not routinely selling Albanian-sourced cocaine. Not only has the Merseyside port its own direct access to South America, Saggers says that its turf is jealously guarded by the cityās own criminal gangs.

I can’t help hoping that Boris gets back into No.10 and takes his revenge on the BBC and the people who stabbed him in the back.
What poetic justice that would be.
I suspect the BBC campaign to discredit him will start soon. I bet a lot of people are worried he will get back in.

I too would like see Boris back in No10. Not because I think that he would stop his green rubbish or because he would clamp down on immigration, or fight the culture war with vigour . No I want him back in No10 because it would really annoy the MSM .
I reckon that the last year has clearly demonstrated that a British PM can only pursue policies which have the backing of the WEF et al. In effect we are ruled by supranational unaccountable bodies and if we try to rule ourselves in a way they donāt like they bring us to our knees quickly and easily. Westminster has as much power as a local council unless it pursues the agreed international policies.
So democracy is dead , we live in the post democratic era , what next? Acceptance or resistance? Does anyone think that fat flabby lazy Britain , or the whole of the West for that matter, has any will to resist and endure the hardship that would bring?

BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – the incompetent BBC Picture Editors are not so incompetent when they want to be
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news Pic of Rishi Sunak looking shifty. I wonder why they chose that picture?
9 likes
He looks like a bit of a cheeky monkey to me in that picture. Not very flattering at all.
I notice that the BBC don’t let you link to text and images on the main headline page – and that is where they do some of their dirtiest work. It’s amazing how often the headline morphs into something softer for the article which gets archived.
In the article piece by the Marianna clone quota reporter ‘Nomia Iqbal’, she says she asked to passengers about it:
How do they feel about his return to office? āIād rather an election.ā
Of course they did Nomia. And if you use ‘they’ it should be ‘we’d rather an election’ as it’s plural. I’ll presume English is your second language.

TOADY Watch #1 – mind your language BBC
Interesting choice of words used in the 7 a.m. News: Boris Johnson forced out of office after a series of scandals; former President Trump called to give evidence about the attack on the Capitol building.
Is it because the BBC know their could be consequences over their actions? Maybe Boris did have some checks made by ‘Five’ and will present a dossier to the House Committee Investigating him? Was not Liz Truss forced from office? OK, to be fair she went much further in the ‘fiscal event’ than she had promised during the leadership contest, in other words she bungled her mini-Budget. But wasn’t there some forcing going on, BBC?
Then, BBC, when is a demonstration an ‘attack’, purely when it is something that you the BBC do not approve of? What about the ‘attack’ on the QE2 Bridge across the Thames? The ‘attack’ on the National Gallery? The ‘attack’ on New Scotland Yard?

Truss resignation: Global media ask what’s happened to Britain – reflects the BBC, provocatively.
The globalist media is best interpreted by the FT and the message is clear enough: ‘Johnson cannot be allowed the last laugh’ – says Camilla Cavendish, projecting the anti-Boris project fear: Could the Tory turmoil get even worse?
The lady seems to forget how Boris, for all his faults – and they were legion, was bookended by our two worst Tory female PMs in history.
The FT headline is a clear editorial statement that purports to speak, rather frankly, for the pink paper’s constituency: Investors and MPs alarmed by idea of Johnson’s return to No10
The FT’s constituency, you ask?
Think along the lines of what author Joseph Conrad termed ‘material interests’ in his 1904 novel Nostromo set in the fictitious, ostensibly independent, South American republic of “Costaguana” – a colourful little province beset with civil wars, revolutions, separatist breakaway regions and repeatedly overthrown short-lived central governments.
Costaguana is a developing country, but it is different from Conrad’s other settings for his novels, the Malay Archipelago and the Congo; those latter regions were colonies, whereas the former is apparently politically independent (āthe great Liberator Bolivarā had seen to that). Whereas Costaguana belonged to the financial āempireā of the US-based corporate interest of the Holroyds and Sir John – you get the picture? We’ll leave that thought before this press review turns into Cliffs Notes

The BBC framing the debate such as it is and twiddling with the Overton window is a measure of how in control they feel.
We (not the public / voters) are being presented with a farcical choice between truly insipid (or worse) establishment candidates who are all in thrall to the media machine trying to get the prescribed boxes ticked.
The entrenched political class and public sector are profoundly ignorant and near entirely self interested.

Today we learn the East of America has just 22 days of diesel supplies left, and when you learn that it’s down to the Green insanity again, it’s perhaps no surprise.
Because the Green loons are averse to any emissions they can see – but are quite comfortable with double triple or even ten times the amount when they can’t they have decided to ban the construction of new refineries in the USA, and the conversion of current ones to enable them to handle different types of fuel oil, even though this would make them more efficient and cleaner than they are now.
The solution – and I can assure you this is not a joke, is to load US crude onto tankers, ship it half way around the world to places like India to have it refined for them. The Indians realising how stupid the Americans are often add Russian oil derivatives and charge the Americans for this.
The whole lot is then shipped back to the USA for distribution where they claim it is a ‘Green’ solution.
You really have to wonder about the sanity of people who believe that out of sight out of mind means it isn’t happening!
And so all those heavy pieces of equipment such as trains, generators, trucks farm machinery, etc etc, will grind to a standstill and the Greens will cheer as the people starve and freeze to death !

It actually gets worse, because I forgot that the French despite their own refineries being on strike or close by demostrators, and with enormous queues at filling stations many of which have run out, are actually sending their diesel to America !
There are shortages already of diesel but most Americans have petrol cars so wouldn’t notice it. Prices have begun to creep up again, Costco have increased diesel by 3p in a 2p & then a 1p rise over 3 days, and when the corrupt rape of the strategic oil reserve is over and it has to be refilled, I expect diesel will be touching Ā£3 a litre possibly as early as Xmas.
I filled one 20L Jerry can last week when it was at Ā£1.68 and maxed out the delivery (Ā£99 limit) I now need to fill another one for just in case.

Who’s actually in control? Why are the BBC keen to see a General Election? where do the BBC get its recruitment from and how much do they advertise? Google, Twitter, Facebook?
OK lets focus on one: The Guardian….(newspaper)
(Q) Since 2016 how much have you spent per year in advertising jobs in The Guardian? (FOI request 2021)
(A) In response to your request, there is no central record of advertising with The Guardian. In order to respond in full to your request the BBC would need to carry out a search of all departments across the BBC to investigate any purchase orders raised for advertising jobs in The Guardian over a six year period. We estimate that to carry out this search would take more than two and a half days. Under section 12 of the Act, we are al owed to refuse to handle the request if it would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit has been set by the Regulations (SI 2004/3244) as being Ā£450 (equivalent to two and a half days work, at an hourly rate of Ā£25).
….
As set out in section 6(1)(b)(ii) of the Act, our subsidiaries (including BBC Studioworks Limited, UKTV, BBC Global News Ltd and BBC Studios Ltd), as well as the charities BBC Media Action and BBC Children in Need, are not subject to the Act. As such, information relating to these entities is not considered in the above response.

So basically we (BBC) can do what we want, We are immune! We fund what we want and you (a pleb) cannot afford the court case(s) if we are found guilty. Press accusations are not enough. And we can move funds ‘in’ and ‘out’ of charity (BBC ‘Children In Need’ for example, can fund: Stonewall, Mermaids, Kids Company who have done no wrong, even when challenged. Wee just divert the funds via another channel. Open Society funded donations are always welcome at the BBC and overt political causes. Climate Change EU law (ECHR*) – which is also open to Open Society members and donations. This used to be called bribery and corruption. Tony Blair, redesigned the system and made perfect by Gordon Brown (27,000 registered charities, many never used but recited EU proposed legislation (at the time). All was funded by central (Labour ) government as (new) Quango s. Many of them can ācross fundā each other – as attack dogs in Social Media (Trolling), Facebook, Twitter Feeds. Designed to spook the public in to believing that CRISIS is due entirely to ‘conservatives’ and right wing elements who get elected. We control THE CLIMATE.
The left does not often get elected. Hence it has to be via ‘other’ methods of thought control, Media can be controlled by other means, out of public control. We can refer to ECHR** to make it appear as being ādecidedā by A European Court of Justice.
**ECHR (proved Corruption of the Judges by the Open Society)

But thanks to the unique way the BBC is funded its called the TV license.
This is why the BBC is important, it appears to be ‘pubically’ UK funded and independent (when viewed from another despot country). US and Europe have indentikat funding by Open Society. Hence the importance of The Guardian to the BBC. Its appears legitimate and cannot be questioned.

It must be considered that this nation its voting people should not by any bounds push to put Boris Johnson into the very important poistion of Prime Minister-a strong firm pair of hands are now on the tiller and Johnson’s are not the hands to have on that pillar, not it should be sadi are those of R Sunak-his appointment would send out all the wrong signals as has been echoed. Penny Mordaunt is the best of the bunch, whose political experience covering many areas will at least offer some stability for a couple of years to help steady the UK ship through these choppy waters.

I heard on LBC; that Penny Mordaunt may not be all she seems. Here is the Daily Mail take. She is also very Woke! And wants to push through gender ideology as law. i.e. You are who you say you are (Biden’s gender wars).

Perhaps Simon Cowell can be persuaded to have a PM X-Factor Special with an extended panel of judges and the usual phone-in voting?
