    How is this news?

    Well, one of thousands of specially selected diverse droids hired by the bbc to sit in a cubicle saw it on their PC, and copy/pasted it.

    Knew and know a lot of fine ladies keen on a wee dram.

    But ok, BBC, #prasnews it.

    Intrigued as to what is in that glass, mind.

    One for Stew to check?

    I recall this lady’s tale of woe cropping up, and the bbc being right on it.

    But the bbc does rather have form with ‘sources’.

    BBC 7 a.m. Newswatch #2 – relegated but the Home Secretary is still there and still there

    Poor old Suella Braverman, Day 7 of the BBC’s attack and she has to take third place in the BBC Radio news importance. But never mind, England’s Wimmin have beaten Australia in some game in the rain.

    ‘I wouldn’t bring a member of my family to this hospital,’ says medic
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63205305
    The answer ?
    Make room for the overspill by putting them up in hotels.
    If the government can fill them up with ‘illegals’ they can put up our own people in them.

    BBC 7 a.m. Newswatch #3 – whoo hoo, the BBC are loving the last Sunday before Halloween

    They suggest by implication that Liz Truss was at fault in some way in allowing her phone to be hacked. Surely the blame should be applied to the hacker? It appears not so in BBC land. Up into number two spot, behind the ex-PM comes the brand new PM, so it is time for a smear by implication on Rishi – in a spirit of equality – and the BBC make it clear in the Radio News that they disapprove of Rishi Sunak’s decision not to attend COP 27.

    Hang on a moment, BBC. May I remind you what you were saying in mid-August and at the end of August? You were complaining about the absence of a functioning Government in the UK during the last three week’s of the Conservative Leadership contest. Now we have a new functioning Government and the PM has decided to concentrate on running the country instead of attending the Global Warming and Climate Change jolly in Egypt.

    Feels like the BBC has lost interest in the Pelosi story – maybe it’s because Elon Musk has been twittering uncomfortable words for democrats – and he is unlikely to be banned .

    Judging by previous events the man who ‘borrowed ‘ mr pelosi s hammer and hit him with it might be found not to be with us any more – with the CCTV turned off and the guards looking elsewhere ….

    Time for the new thread ….
