‘The correspondent had asked footballer Mehdi Taremi for his views on the protests in Iran.
Afterwards, Mr Queiroz asked if it was fair for the player to have been asked a political question’
The BBC think they are the worlds morality police now. Dirty tricks like this are why so much of the rest of the world hate the BBC. That player (who is probably not very bright) would have been damned whatever answer he gave. Either by his boss or the BBC.
But I blame OFCOM for giving the BBC so much slack, they feel confident to do things like this. They are an absolute disgrace.

The most serious aspect of this is that with Iran – if one of its’ footballers says the wrong thing ‘off the cuff ‘ then it can mean – at worse – a death sentence . Now the BBC might not care because it gives them a headline – but it’s a big price to pay ….
Time to ‘bang up ‘ another BBC spy in Iran again …..
After 12 years of Tory government we have been turned into a third world country. Funny how thr BBC has not raised this?
Any Tory MPs left in this government?
The silly government are more concerned with carbon net zero when adding to the population makes it worse !
The rest of the word doesn’t give a toss.
Taffman. You’ve won . You constantly campaign for ‘Reform ‘ or UKIP and I’ve argued against it in order to avoid a split ‘right ‘ vote .
But now there is no ‘right ‘ vote – so I will save their deposit if I get the chance . But I wish there was a more credible – better – party of the Right . There isn’t now – unless Farage get going ….
UK muzzies co ordinated complaint campaign again. No doubt their “council of Bri hain innit bruv” behind the scenes (they run courses in how to complain to the media ):
“BBC gets 1,500 complaints its opening of World Cup coverage that included Gary Lineker calling it the ‘most controversial’ tournament ever was too harsh on Qatar
The BBC received complaints it was ‘inappropriate or overly critical’ of Qatar
Sunday’s broadcast of opening match included a monologue from Gary Lineker
He raised corruption, treatment of migrant workers and illegal homosexuality
Revealing it had received 1,435 complaints, the BBC said some ‘took issue’
“Cyclist, 59, is fined £2,500 for riding into path of motorbike to cause crash that killed the 23-year-old biker
Garry Kopanycia-Reynolds was cycling in Poole when the incident happened
The 59-year-old collided with biker Callum Clements on December 21, 2021
He had pulled into a road at a junction without checking it was clear of traffic”
Reassuring – as a motorcyclists that is a non paying unlicensed cycle rider kills md dangerously he ‘/ she ‘ they will only have to stump up £2500 whereas a driver will probably do time ….
As a motorcyclist I fear cycles and Ubers more than cars now … they seem to have a death wish …
Rather bizarrely, the BBC refers to this person as ‘they’ and ‘them’, as though there are more than one. If something is neither masculine or feminine, then it is neutral and should be referred to as ‘it’. This is simply the grammar of the English language and does not carry any sort of value judgement. Or perhaps the problem arises as the BBC is employing too many people who are not native speakers of the language.
Today
One of the girls ‘interviews’ the head of the nurses ‘ union – who has a strong Northern Irish accent . As an Englishman whenever I hear such an accent blaming the government – making demands – I think IRA .
The lady’s aggressive attitude to the bbc girl doesn’t paint a nice picture of the nursing wing of the medical mafia .
Apparently they are striking a couple of days in December – but not on days when they get double or triple time of presents from gullible donors ….
Does suggest a fact check, erring on Trading Standards claim, next time BBC Press runs a paid ad featuring Jez in a ditch overlooked by a bemused babushka doing her daily shop.
I’m guessing that most of us at Biased BBC will have been pretty horrified, but not overly surprised, by our recent immigration figures…
Just to re-cap, for my own benefit…what we’ve heard is that over one million came to Blighty legally in one calendar year…and about half that number left. We get something close to 300,000 “students” coming over…and they’re now allowed to bring their families with them…Well why not? The more the merrier.
We have had, so far, a further 42,000 dinghy dodging illegals…that we know about…and God only knows how many that we don’t know about…
While all this mayhem continues unabated, we’ve got our own indigenous homeless problem. Many of these people are army veterans, sleeping in shop doorways and park benches. While they’re shivering in doorways, wrapped up in discarded newspapers to keep the November chill at bay, across the road at the “Alhambra Hotel” Mustafa Fagg and his merry men are tucking into a four course, halal-based meal, with all the trimmings, watching a bit of telly and then snuggling down in a nice warm bed.
Just remind me why you’re still voting “Conservative”…
Jeff – I think CCHQ will assume that the coming polls showing only 10% of those voting will consider voting blue labour – are just wrong ….
They certainly lost me . I want to be properly represented by a Britain / Fedup First Party …. But it won’t happen ….
I wonder if folks would be interested in registering for a ‘rotten borough’. It is legal to be on multiple electoral registers (but only vote in one). Once the roll got up to 50,000 voters then it could have candidates.
The candidates would only be eligible if they did not belong to any political party i.e. they were independent.
A short trip from two-for-one to three-in-one edition
Our BBC likes to make two picks from the press headlines so as to construct their own daily online newspaper review… er… headline.
Red top tabloid readers would recognise this formula as a double whammy; advertising freesheet fans might see it as a bogoff or perhaps a twofor, whilst a few old school right-leaning broadsheet habitues might notice a brace.
Newspaper headlines: ‘Student visa crackdown’ and record migrant levels (BBC) – and there dear reader you have a fine example of the bad news emerging coupled with the government’s rushed rhetorical response – which we all know damned well translates to absolutely nothing will be done about the problem of hyper immigration.
Credit where credit is due – our BBC quite rightly scare quotes the notion of a ‘crackdown’ – as if?
Hyper – it’s gone well beyond mass- immigration, that’s simply a problem our political class do not see as a problem.
The formerly patriotic Times, which leans closet-Blairite liberal wet Tory posing in a blue rosette, is just the place for the government to lay some shoddy smokescreen over the shocking inward migration numbers.
Foreign students face ban from universities – a doozy of a headline at one stroke placating short attention span conservatives cognisant of the fact hundreds of post drop register then dropout colleges across Britain act as easy visa factories – while simultaneously the self-same headline may still interest by aggravation that newfound lefty liberal Times college educated readership into some righteous morning outrage. Especially since ‘top’ universities will apparently be exempt.
All foreign students will also have new restrictions on bringing family members with them after the number of dependents almost tripled in a year – what is this – bring your old mum to college month?
Now tell me it wasn’t beyond the wit of man (or the civil service) to realise that this student dependents loop hole wouldn’t be exploited big time.
Part of the government distraction policy here is to set off some crying, whingeing and gnashing of teeth on the left.
The left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper is here to oblige and gifts the government the false notion of a crackdown being underway: Student visa crackdown set to spark major cabinet row – really?
Migration is in iteslf one of those carefully crafted misnomers. It implies seasonal travel to and from.
Speaking of which…
Airport security rules on liquids and laptops could be lifted in UK in 2024 (Guardian)
The female interest ‘i’ newspaper is on it: Opinion. Now can I take my lubricant on holiday? Rebecca Reid
Don’t worry about it, luv. Mr AsI assumes his Greek island bicycle hire shop will have a drop of 3-in-one they can lend him.
I saw that university lecturers were on strike . And somehow the state is involved . But I thought universities were private institutions now …
But I can’t remember items on the BBC about ‘a shortage of lecturers ‘ – so let the market fix their wages – discuss …
Or maybe there should be protected high value degrees ( the useful ones like sums and engineering ) – with a ‘duty’ on the useless ones like drama and media and PPE ….
Having my early morning “two minutes of hate” (The bbc usually provide the backdrop) and there’s an article “Has Putin’s war failed?”. It features such gems as –
“Repeated Russian claims of Nazis and genocide in eastern Ukraine were completely unfounded”
“His declared aim was to protect people subjected to what he called eight years of bullying and genocide by Ukraine’s government – claims which have no basis in evidence.”
In the interest of balance, a close friend of mine regularly spends half an hour watching the R-T news feed, and if it’s all fabricated by Russia then it’s one hell of a convincing hoax.
This is the sort of blatant propaganda being fed to the British populace by the bbc. I don’t defend Russia at all, but to continually paint the ukranians as innocent folk goes far beyond well-intentioned bias.
I suspect a lot of the virtue signalling Ukraine supporting public in this country have never heard of Stepan Bandera and are completely ignorant of Ukraine’s history
Tuesday’s BBC local NewsPR had a rare thing
Tory MP Edward Leigh was allowed on
Why ? cos he wanted to give a message that is truthful yet UNPOPULAR ‘You can’t have your cake and eat it
You can’t go spending all that money
on new projects the Lab/Tory Party support
& still have the same money in the pot
without borrowing which makes the £ exchange rate plummet
We all have to pay MORE tax
& reducing pensions is tax’
Rich man calls for triple lock to be cancelled – wonder if he gets a peerage when he gets kicked out of his seat ?
I am not a beneficiary of the ‘triple lock ‘ but those pensioners without anything other than a State Pension deserve to be cared for – other benefits though – cut – force more into work or cut their benefits …. Give the BBC more sob stories ….
Troubling news and rumours about the US rail strike comming out of America and the Dems showing their true evil nature once again.
A one day rail strike in the US isn’t like a one day strike here. Legislation in the US means any hazardous cargo cannot be left in any unsecured situation therefore all hazardous cargo has to be moved to secure locations prior to any strike action and then retreived from there making it an onerous task.
Now the US Dems have woken up and realised the scale of the issue they (Pete Buttigieg) are talking about forcing workers back to work at the barrel of a gun.
I know I have been very naive. BUT I honestly didn’t
know that Alex Scott the ex Arsenal and England
ladies footballer . Whom we now see as a football pundit
amongst another plethora of other “entertainment”
programmes . Ticked EVERY box to become a BBC
“personality.” And she has learned to dot her I’S and G’S
as well in her speech. In a way that the only job she probably
wouldn’t able to do now. Is being a continuity presenter.
I don’t think her patois is up to scratch anymore.
Actually, joking apart. She is presentable.And I reterate become
more literate and loquacious. Which I am not sure how her
brothers and sisters take this.
I see that the primary sponsors of that Dealbook Summit where FTX “SBF” guy is purportedly speaking alongside the US Treasury Secretary Yellen and Zelensky is Accenture (AKA Arthur Anderson of Enron fame)

BBC’s Matthew Sweets is very pleased with GBnews talk about the Died Suddenly doco
..I bet some parts of it are flawed, but don’t know how much
I have some words. It is a farrago of conspiracist bullshit that does not bear the smallest amount of intelligent scrutiny. That @GBNEWS presenters are promoting it should be a matter of concern to the public and the regulator. Facts here: https://t.co/O69LkfuVPphttps://t.co/N1y44SeXKy
Strange the Mr Sweet has such a ‘thing ‘ about this issue . What skin does he have in the game? Is he just a far left monopolist BBC type looking for advancement ? Taken a bung ? What ?
I find it sad that Any non approved comment / approach to an issue is slapped with ‘false ‘ or ‘conspiracy ‘ or similar .
I wonder what Mr sweet thinks of those death certificates where the vaccine is named as cause or contributing cause ?
And are those being paid out by the State frauds ? Did their loved ones not die ?

In an item about the rise in infections caused by Omicron and its impact on the NHS we said: ‘NHS England says between 20 and 30 per cent of critical care beds are occupied by Covid patients…. three quarters of those haven’t been vaccinated.’
We also said that the ‘vast majority’ of those in critical care are unvaccinated.
In fact, the most recent figures from the Intensive Care and National Audit Research Centre (ICNARC) show that 51% of intensive care patients in England with Covid in November were vaccinated and 48% were not.

Funny how BBC Oxbridge ‘experts’ like Sweet get to have such opinions about something they know nothing about and have no qualifications in. A ‘high ego’ does not equal ‘intelligent scrutiny’.
Rent an arrogant ‘gob’ would be an accurate description.
I believe The State knows there will be deaths and serious aftermaths for some receiving the vaccine – but they think the advantage to the majority outweighs the KSI .
And the likes of the MSM BBC is instructed to suppress any ‘anti ‘ views . BBC OFCOM depend on the likes of `GBNews not have the audience size to affect the policy – so won’t attack it formally … informally though … who knows ?

Climate Crisis
Qatar’s economic prosperity is derived from the extraction and export of petroleum—discovered in 1939 and first produced in 1949—and natural gas.
Stoning is no longer a legal punishment in Qatar, and has never been used.[8][16][17] Apostasy is a crime punishable by the death penalty in Qatar.[18] Blasphemy is punishable by up to seven years in prison and proselytizing any religion other than Islam can be punished by up to 10 years in prison.[18] Homosexuality is a crime punishable in sharia by the death penalty for Muslims, though in Qatar the penalty for consenting males is up to 5 years in prison.[19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Qatar

How many times have we heard from the pro vaccinators that somebody has had covid and been in a terrible state but has had the vaccine. They then say it would have been much worse if they had not been vaccinated.
Is there any truth in this?
It’s easy to say it but I would imagine both vaccinated and unvaccinated catch Covid and both groups will have symptoms varying from mild to severe and death.
Could it be that you will be affected the same whether vaccinated or not and having he vaccine makes no difference to the severity of the symptoms.
I doubt the msm will come out with anything about this and we have to wait for the likes of GB News to find out the truth as nobody else will tell us.
Here’s a question:
The 350 million on the bus and those asking “where is it?”
How much are the nhs getting now compared to before we ‘left’
Is it more or less than the £350 million per week and if it’s more why don’t people say so when remoaners ask it.
(If it’s less then why?)
£350 million …. In September 2021, the government announced that the health and care system would receive a £36 billion funding settlement over the next three years. This would be funded in part by a new health and care levy – a 1.25 per cent increase in National Insurance contributions from April 2022.22 Aug 2022
The LeftyLibbyMedia didn’t like that, MM, especially the BBC. What?! A Conservative Government funding the NHS big-time then sorting out the Social Care programme that the Labour Party had not been able to do when in government 1974-1979 and 1997-2010.
One brother in law had a bad batch jab about a year ago – he was proper poorly – 10 days – over half of which were bed-bound.
The jabbers cheerily sent an appointment for a another go at it …. nothing by way of explanation – he found out via Internet search and the clinic were reticent and slope-y-shouldered about admitting it.
Tempted to write to ECU, Timmeh!, OFCOM and DCMS (and whichever dim bulb is notionally unincharge of it) to ask why BBC Complaints has been, is, and will always be a deliberately labyrinthine entity, unfit for any purpose,.
But I answered my own question.
And would just get banned again.
Propaganda backed by censorship is ugly and dangerous.
The absurdist climate alarmists just don’t care about spectacular lying at the moment. If you blub into the selfie camera or have a histrionic tizzy – as far as the BBC works – that makes the climate catastrophe that much more legitimate.

This is the same Arts Council England that likes to spaff taxpayer millions on projects that tell straight white men to “pass the power“, gave over £215,000 in Covid funding to a solo drag act, and is expected to spend around £1.34 billion in grants in the three years to 2026.

Just watched the Iran v Wales highlights on the BBC’S youtube channel and couldn’t help but notice the appalling picture quality. The resolution was in a pitiful 360p (which translates to 480 by 360 ratio). Compare this to the highlights on the ITV youtube channel which are in a high definition 1080p. Untold billions in license fee extortion money and this is the best picture quality they can serve up?
Don’t like defending bbc, but it’s probably
YouTube’s behaviour, which shows newly uploaded videos at low resolution at first and eventually works up to 1080 after an hour or whatever

Al Janoub Stadium has been designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. Its design was inspired by the hulls of the traditional dhow pearl fishing boats, further reflected by the use of timber and traditional materials. The symmetrical roof composed of three shells is the standout feature. Following the release of the designs, people soon starting noting the resemblance of the roof to female genitalia, but Zaha Hadid denied any comparisons.
I recall some mention of US supply chain issues over a bridge closure – but Biden pressuring Jussie over auto plants closures actually sounds about right since Joe is bought and paid for by The Auto Workers Union who were pivotal aiui in excluding Tesla from The White House EV jamboree a while back.

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”

And which one makes it to the front page ?.
None of them.
But the headline page for the entire world DOES have the story:
‘India gripped by gruesome ‘fridge murder”
Which appears to be a BBC favourtie ‘men abusing women’ agenda item.
It’s true beyond doubt : lives don’t matter at all to the left unless they can used for the agenda.

Rather bizarrely, the BBC refers to this person as ‘they’ and ‘them’, as though there are more than one. If something is neither masculine or feminine, then it is neutral and should be referred to as ‘it’. This is simply the grammar of the English language and does not carry any sort of value judgement. Or perhaps the problem arises as the BBC is employing too many people who are not native speakers of the language.

I’m guessing that most of us at Biased BBC will have been pretty horrified, but not overly surprised, by our recent immigration figures…
Just to re-cap, for my own benefit…what we’ve heard is that over one million came to Blighty legally in one calendar year…and about half that number left. We get something close to 300,000 “students” coming over…and they’re now allowed to bring their families with them…Well why not? The more the merrier.
We have had, so far, a further 42,000 dinghy dodging illegals…that we know about…and God only knows how many that we don’t know about…
While all this mayhem continues unabated, we’ve got our own indigenous homeless problem. Many of these people are army veterans, sleeping in shop doorways and park benches. While they’re shivering in doorways, wrapped up in discarded newspapers to keep the November chill at bay, across the road at the “Alhambra Hotel” Mustafa Fagg and his merry men are tucking into a four course, halal-based meal, with all the trimmings, watching a bit of telly and then snuggling down in a nice warm bed.

A short trip from two-for-one to three-in-one edition
Our BBC likes to make two picks from the press headlines so as to construct their own daily online newspaper review… er… headline.
Red top tabloid readers would recognise this formula as a double whammy; advertising freesheet fans might see it as a bogoff or perhaps a twofor, whilst a few old school right-leaning broadsheet habitues might notice a brace.
Newspaper headlines: ‘Student visa crackdown’ and record migrant levels (BBC) – and there dear reader you have a fine example of the bad news emerging coupled with the government’s rushed rhetorical response – which we all know damned well translates to absolutely nothing will be done about the problem of hyper immigration.
Credit where credit is due – our BBC quite rightly scare quotes the notion of a ‘crackdown’ – as if?
Hyper – it’s gone well beyond mass- immigration, that’s simply a problem our political class do not see as a problem.
The formerly patriotic Times, which leans closet-Blairite liberal wet Tory posing in a blue rosette, is just the place for the government to lay some shoddy smokescreen over the shocking inward migration numbers.
Foreign students face ban from universities – a doozy of a headline at one stroke placating short attention span conservatives cognisant of the fact hundreds of post drop register then dropout colleges across Britain act as easy visa factories – while simultaneously the self-same headline may still interest by aggravation that newfound lefty liberal Times college educated readership into some righteous morning outrage. Especially since ‘top’ universities will apparently be exempt.
All foreign students will also have new restrictions on bringing family members with them after the number of dependents almost tripled in a year – what is this – bring your old mum to college month?
Now tell me it wasn’t beyond the wit of man (or the civil service) to realise that this student dependents loop hole wouldn’t be exploited big time.
Part of the government distraction policy here is to set off some crying, whingeing and gnashing of teeth on the left.
The left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper is here to oblige and gifts the government the false notion of a crackdown being underway: Student visa crackdown set to spark major cabinet row – really?
Migration is in iteslf one of those carefully crafted misnomers. It implies seasonal travel to and from.
Speaking of which…

Having my early morning “two minutes of hate” (The bbc usually provide the backdrop) and there’s an article “Has Putin’s war failed?”. It features such gems as –
“Repeated Russian claims of Nazis and genocide in eastern Ukraine were completely unfounded”
“His declared aim was to protect people subjected to what he called eight years of bullying and genocide by Ukraine’s government – claims which have no basis in evidence.”
In the interest of balance, a close friend of mine regularly spends half an hour watching the R-T news feed, and if it’s all fabricated by Russia then it’s one hell of a convincing hoax.
This is the sort of blatant propaganda being fed to the British populace by the bbc. I don’t defend Russia at all, but to continually paint the ukranians as innocent folk goes far beyond well-intentioned bias.

Troubling news and rumours about the US rail strike comming out of America and the Dems showing their true evil nature once again.
A one day rail strike in the US isn’t like a one day strike here. Legislation in the US means any hazardous cargo cannot be left in any unsecured situation therefore all hazardous cargo has to be moved to secure locations prior to any strike action and then retreived from there making it an onerous task.
Now the US Dems have woken up and realised the scale of the issue they (Pete Buttigieg) are talking about forcing workers back to work at the barrel of a gun.

In an item about the rise in infections caused by Omicron and its impact on the NHS we said: ‘NHS England says between 20 and 30 per cent of critical care beds are occupied by Covid patients…. three quarters of those haven’t been vaccinated.’
We also said that the ‘vast majority’ of those in critical care are unvaccinated.
In fact, the most recent figures from the Intensive Care and National Audit Research Centre (ICNARC) show that 51% of intensive care patients in England with Covid in November were vaccinated and 48% were not.

How many times have we heard from the pro vaccinators that somebody has had covid and been in a terrible state but has had the vaccine. They then say it would have been much worse if they had not been vaccinated.
Is there any truth in this?
It’s easy to say it but I would imagine both vaccinated and unvaccinated catch Covid and both groups will have symptoms varying from mild to severe and death.
Could it be that you will be affected the same whether vaccinated or not and having he vaccine makes no difference to the severity of the symptoms.
I doubt the msm will come out with anything about this and we have to wait for the likes of GB News to find out the truth as nobody else will tell us.

I’m sure the blue Labour online censorship act will cancel him though ….
..guardian reports that another blue labour minister / Mp is to stand down next election ( as opposed to being smacked in the moosh by the vengeful electorate ) – no loss – they’ll all be gone .
For some reason apparently 12 red labour MPs are going too – maybe part of a bail condition …

Some time back I had a Spanish Civil War book binge and read all I could get my hands on – part way through I saw this Orwell quote – it resonated big time and it forced me to re-read some books with a totally changed perspective.
Once you see what the BBC is up to – you can’t unsee it.

2015 … 7 years ago before fake news became fake news …
Least we forget how it all works … videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …
Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”
