    Because it’s quite long, I’m posting this in 2 parts: what the BBC IS reporting from America today, and what the BBC is NOT reporting. Apologies for the length.

    What the biased BBC is reporting from America.

    – A black senator wins in Georgia, giving the Democrats control of the Senate. THREE separate stories, including “My mom picked cotton”. (Hurrah, black, Democrat, slavery: a triple win in BBC-Land).
    – Trump Organization found guilty of tax crimes. (Hardly surprising: with the entire deep state apparatus, and particularly the Judiciary, biased and weaponised, they were bound to find something sooner or later. Troll through the accounts of any large corporation and, if you’re looking for it, you’ll find some irregularities.)
    – Harry and Meghan win (bogus) human rights award for their (bogus) fight against (bogus) racism.
    – US Capitol riot committee to make criminal referrals. (The Dems are dragging out this fake investigation as long as possible to do maximum damage to the GOP and in particular Orange Man. BBC happy to oblige and keep reporting it.)
    – The Colorado shooting in a gay club. (The liberal media love this story, of course, and have tried to link it to the popular movement of parents to stop the LGBT/Trans indoctrination of their children in schools. Parents whom the rotten Biden administration and his weaponised Justice Department labelled as domestic terrorists).
    – ‘How I escaped my father’s militia’. (All about one of those terrifying right-wing militias that do press-ups in the woods and that was involved with – shock horror – the January 6th ‘riot’. Incidentally, evidence is mounting that the demonstration was known about beforehand, that the Democrats REDUCED police presence deliberately and encouraged the march into the Capitol.)
    – Handshake snub for top Republicans at award ceremony. (BBC loves that story, natch.)
    Etc.

    The bias is in the choice of stories, the prominence they’re given, and the spin.

    What do MPs do?
    The UK public elects Members of Parliament (MPs) to represent their interests and concerns in the House of Commons. MPs consider and can propose new laws as well as raising issues that matter to you in the House. This includes asking government ministers questions about current issues including those which affect local constituents.
    https://www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/members/mps/

    What do MPs do? – stay in the jungle for £400K

    What do MPs do? – build nightingale hospitals that don’t get used.

    For the life of me I don’t know why the BBC have so
    many presenters, commentators , pundits and jobsmiths
    out in Qatar. It must be costing us license fee payers millions.
    They aren’t showing live that many matches. BUT they have
    plethora of hangers on who dont do sweet f**k all.
    I suppose the reason is “quotas.”
    For every “job” for a white presenter there has to be at least
    one ethnic one. And all through the line this seems to be
    their position. Of course there has to be a fair proportion
    of women . Some do know at least something about men’s
    football. But others are just there for the sake of diversity,
    positive discrimination, inclusiveness . Call it what you like.
    I reckon millions could of been saved if at least half of
    what we see and hear . Came from a studio in the UK.

    The BBC are complicit in the public service strike mania. Their constant unsubstantiated attacks on the tories with the sole aim of replacing them with the Labour party has helped fuel the lefty public employees to take totally unacceptable action.

    The unions are in this to out the Tories, pay is secondary to them right now. They want prolonged strikes with much public suffering which they think will be reflected at the nasty Tories and not at them.

    A clue to this is that they are not even discussing it with members in many cases, simply the red union bosses dictating that a strike it will be.

    Now we are beginning to see sick people dying for want of swift or any action. This must have been considered by the union bosses calling the strikes but obviously the decision was that they would be “fallout” and therefore an acceptable price to pay for their political ambitions.

    I hope these people can sleep with a clear conscience as they see the death toll rise.

    The truth is that these fatalities were someones mother or father or child or brother or sister.

    I can only see this despicable union behaviour as motivated by power and greed.

    What is needed now is a full inquest into every death caused by the action with responsibility planted with all those implicated including the Union bigwigs.

    But that’s in a fair, caring just World not the schism ridden one we are currently evolving into as a nation.

        What’s curious here is that Lineker feels the need to comment at all.

        Why say or tweet anything? What does it achieve? His expertise is in football, not international politics, so he could tweet about the World Cup but his second-hand opinions on coverage of the Ukraine war are of little interest.

        Does he suffer from a kind of Tourette’s Syndrome, like former team mate Paul Gascoigne, which compels him to make comments? Or is he simply currying favour with those who have the power to keep him on £1.36 million per annum funded by the TV poll tax? And this is before we get to the issue of the BBC’s and their staff’s supposed impartiality!

      Fedup putting my psychologist’s hat on here, I think the currency of apology is a consequence of the need to put shame at the centre of life.

      Every time I spend 5 minutes looking at the Guardian I’m left with the overriding knowledge that what they want most is for me to come away with guilt and self-reproach, more than information. Now governments openly prescribe nudge tactics to push new social norms, the resistance to thought reform won’t come from critical thinking or reasoned debate, but by not taking part in shame as far as possible.

      (Meanwhile the western Judeo-Christian societies, who are more susceptible to these tactics, are busy importing large numbers from cultures who haven’t been so conditioned.)

    Earlier I posted what the BBC was reporting from America today; the woke, tendentious news it approves of and deems the hoi polloi should hear.

    What the BBC is NOT reporting, is the biggest story of our time, namely Elon Musk bringing back free speech to social media. Nor is it reporting the damning revelations of the Democrats’ criminal intervention with Big Tech to influence the last election, in particular the censorship of Hunter’s laptop revelations of Biden’s criminal financial dealings, many with regimes of huge security importance to the West such as China, Russia, and Ukraine. Nor, perhaps most shameful of all, the vitriolic attacks by the msm against Musk, and now journalist Matt Taibbi for simply doing his job as a journalist.

    In case anyone hasn’t been paying attention to the REAL news for the past few years, as opposed to the Matrix-style gaslighting by the BBC: there is a culture war raging in the West. In America, the Dems, the Deep State including most government agencies, Big Business, Academia, the msm, Big Tech and assorted globalists have formed a cosy monopoly of thought, with a stranglehold on the entire political and social discourse.

    Heroically, Musk is exposing the scandal and opening up at least Twitter to genuine free speech and open debate.

    Naturally, the enemies of free speech, i.e. all the institutions mentioned above, are incandescent with rage and squealing like pigs while doing all they can to thwart him, including demanding the government shut him down in some way, and pressuring business not to advertise on Twitter.

    It’s no exaggeration to say that Musk’s life is at risk, given the enormity of the sinister forces opposed to him.

    This is a historical turning point in the life and death struggle for democracy and free speech in the West… and the BBC is absolutely silent about it.

      The Twitter files aren’t being reported big time – there’s so much poison there that those few reporting on it are overwhelmed and outside of Twitter itself few are covering it. It wasn’t just vaccines – the origins of the virus have been heavily suppressed by Twitter under the prior regime.

      Since communications on Twitter itself were a key part of dissemination of findings – I followed several people who were pivotal in work on Chen and Ridley’s “Viral” book. Twitter wasn’t updating my follows and all sorts of chicanery were deployed to limit the reach and perception of the content.

    Bbc fridophobia episode 77 this week.

    “UK weather: Drivers warned of risks as Arctic blast begins”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63894221

    Story quickly switches to keeping babies warm and even bedroom advice-
    “The UKHSA reiterated its long-standing advice for people who cannot heat every room – saying they should warm the living room during the day and bedrooms just before going to sleep, ideally to at least 18C.”

    I feel so stupid now, I was turning the bedroom heater on as I left the house for the day.

    BBC seems to be part of some campaign to portray that there’s billions of job vacancies in the UK ( and you know what the solution is..)
    So might as well lay that narrative on here too-

    “But many local councils in England and Wales – who have collectively stockpiled 1.4 million tonnes of salt for this winter – said they were struggling to attract and retain gritter drivers.”

    Watching the BBC report on the NHS deplorable service.

    So, we have the biggest ever spend on the NHS.

    The highest ever number of NHS staff.

    Yet more people are dying waiting for treatment.

    Only two conclusions…. All the money is going on stupid diversity jobs or the current staff are lazy shits.

      The service is overburdened with ‘bean counters’ & ‘penpushers’.
      Its also run by managers who could not run a bath.

    Bristol abattoir workers guilty of ‘sadistic’ double murder
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-63894371

    The last few times I have seen headlines about murder in our country which is particularly brutual and savage, the people who did them have always been imports.

    These two worked in an abbatoir and practised their same work methods of disembowelling pigs (‘making incisions in the bellies of pigs’ if you want the ‘not so bad’ BBC version) on their victims.

    Their names ?

    Ionut-Valentin Boboc
    and
    Jacob-Bebe Chers

    These stories are why people like that police chief who insists immigrants tend to be the victims of crime make my blood boil. The crimes they receive and the crimes they commit simply cannot be compared.

    As I always say, it’s not the people specifically I object to. It’s the culture they bring with them. Import 3rd world, get 3rd world.

    “While we may never know why these defendants chose to murder two innocent men, it remains abundantly clear they both have a dangerous propensity for violence and cruelty, and our communities are a safer place with them behind bars.”

    Not much safer. Two down, hundreds of thousands to go.

    An Andrew Ash article (of 7/12/22) on Gatestone’s site criticizes the awful BBC over its coverage of Shamima Begum:

    “… … …

    Although forgiveness is not high on the BBC’s to-do list when it comes to trashing figures whose politics they oppose, female jihadis are apparently another matter altogether. Essentially, people at the BBC and other outlets would like the British public to join them in rebranding her as a victim as opposed to her actual role as an oppressor.

    … … …

    All these people in ivory towers or at the BBC have one thing in common: they appear to have little idea of what Islam actually is.

    … … …”

    Hey, bbc here’s some racism to investigate !!

    From Quora:

    “Prince William’s godmother Lady Susan Hussey was forced to resign from Buckingham Palace role after asking black charity founder what part of Africa she is from. Is free speech dead?

    I was born and brought up in Nigeria

    I am not entitled to a Nigerian passport, because, and I’m using a far less dishonest mental calculus than Ms. Fulani, I am white. That is what the Nigerian law says.

    Research the requirements for a Nigerian Passport if you wish. Ius soli vs. Ius Sanguinis, but not in the case of black skinned Nigerians born abroad – they’re allowed dual nationality. As a white man, I am not. Stop and think about that. Reverse the roles. Don’t fudge and come back with “what about” or “yes but”. Think about that when you talk about institutionalised racism.

    I experienced racism in Independent Nigeria because I am white. This includes being stopped by a traffic policeman on a motorcycle and fined for speeding. Whilst in a traffic jam. All the cars with white people in were pulled over by the same policeman and and “fined”. This was a far from unique occurrence.

    When walking through remoter villages, children would follow me pointing and shrieking out loud at the colour of my skin, and daring one another to run up and touch the “baturé” – white -man – and even to touch his hair.

    I could have put this down to appalling racism and have no doubt that with a role reversal then Ms. Fulani would be so traumatised that heaven would have had to fall before she would be mollified. I suspect she would still be nursing a grievance, and to carefully tend it to the grave.

    I have experienced racism from Afrikaner whites when I lived in South Africa because I am English. This was a far from unique occurrence. I have had to leave places.

    I have experienced racism and the threat of violence from young Kenyan blacks in a bar in Namibia, because I am white English. I had to leave.

    I had stones thrown at my car in Lesotho because the youths saw a white man driving.

    I have had to pay a bribe to buy a train ticket in Zambia because I am a white man.

    I could continue.

    Edited to add:

    The question doesn’t make sense. I am answering to what I suppose the question to have been. I know racism when I see it, and I’m pretty sure I know when someone is synthetically outraged. Some people go around actively looking for offence, and will cry foul at the slightest imagined smear.

    I have had my hair and skin touched by black people, I have been treated differently by policemen because of my skin colour. I have been in danger because of my skin colour.”

    Germany arrests 25 accused of plotting coup
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63885028

    Reading the completely vague accusations and liberal sprinkling of words like terrorists, Russia, far-right and AfD, it sounds more like ‘The night of the long knives’ to me. Or Jan 06 prosecutions part 2. They get ‘far-right in there 4 times and ‘extreme-right’ in once.

    But I almost spat out my coffee when I read the next part:

      Racism in Saudi ….

      Saudi Arabia: Treatment of racial minorities, particularly black African Saudi nationals, by society and authorities (2012-2013)

      Several sources indicate that there is racial discrimination in Saudi Arabia (The Guardian 28 Sept. 2012; US 19 Apr. 2013, 34; The New York Times 10 Apr. 2009). According to Freedom House, there is “substantial prejudice” against ethnic and national minorities (2013). In a telephone interview with the Research Directorate, a professor of political science at the University of Vermont (UVM), who conducts research on and has written books about international relations in the Persian Gulf region, noted that Saudi Arabia is a “race-conscious society” where “colour is a factor in social standing” (13 Jan. 2014).

      According to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)’s World Factbook, “Afro-Asians” constitute 10 percent of the population of Saudi Arabia, while the remaining 90 percent are Arab (4 Dec. 2013).

    Sometimes I listen just to bear witness . Today it is politicians like selwyn gummer ( unelected former Tory now loopy lord £) and Timmy Farron going on about the terrible idea of opening a coal mine .
    These characters are infected with a green virus which demands we are returned to some pre industrial age . They are well off . They know best .

    Our Justin interviews Farron – too much coffee ? Farron goes on about tidal range and green energy , tidal range is not coking coal for export ( money – jobs ) or for making steel .

    These characters are frightening in their beliefs ,. They think a little country can make a difference to their version of ‘climate change ‘. Delusion .

    Burn that coal – gas – oil . Burn …

    I’d like to propose readers watch ‘My Unorthodox Life’ on Netflix.

    I haven’t watched it and don’t know anything about it. I have picked it at random.
    But in the interests of balance I thought you should watch it.

    Because in contrast the BBC are still endlessly plugging the Meghan Harry drivel as if Netflix is one of their channels. They regard as ‘news’ that the MeghanHarry rubbish is ABOUT TO BE launched shortly. That, to the BBC, is news.

    Totally cretinous.
