    From the Daily Express (story by Rebekah Evans):

    “… … …

    According to one expert, the end of the licence fee is almost inevitable, as new research has shown 51 percent of Britons asked believe the payment should be scrapped.

    Jeff Richey, TV and film analyst at WatchTVAbroad.com, said: “The licence fee’s days are numbered and Auntie has a fight on her hands.

    “The simple truth is that the BBC and its funding model were creatures of another time.

    The odious pair’s Netflix programme was reviewed and discussed on BBC1’s Newscast, broadcast across the midnight hour.
    Adam Fleming, Chris Mason, Jonny Dymond and Katie Razzall all gave it a sympathetic hearing, especially Razzall. From her article below:

    ‘Harry describes trying to deal with the loss of his mother “without much support or help or guidance”, and describes his “second family” in Africa, a group of friends “that literally brought me up”.’

    Oh, yes Africa, the source of all that’s good in the World.

    And:
    ‘He talks about how male royals tend to marry women “who fit in the mould” instead of for love. Is he inferring that’s what his brother did?’

    No, he’s not “inferring” it, he’s implying it.

    6:50am The first two BBC radio stations were banging on about some Netflix thing

    The third had a long item about a Scunthorpe primary school winning an award as “a school of sanctuary for refugee children”

    What the heck is that ?
    Schools should of course serve all the pupils they are sent … fairly.

    So this is PR people using children in PRtrickery
    to push a POLITICAL agenda.

    A schools job is simply to educate all children, not get involved in using the children for PR games.

      There’s a campaigning org with a Twitter account
      Schools of Sanctuary 🧡 @SchsofSanctuary
      A growing network of 370+ schools, nurseries & sixth forms promoting welcome, inclusion & awareness for people seeking sanctuary with @CityofSanctuary UK.

      They raise money which ends up in someone’s pockets

    Renewed frenzy, but the story remains the same. One economist said edition

    The BBC online press line up today likes the Royal soap opera for its headline quotes: ‘Palace anger’ and ‘direct hit’ at Queen’s legacy (BBC)

    Meanwhile, the formerly patriotic Times, having recently given credence to Sir Keir’s vague motherhood and apple pie promises to train more doctors (not that he’s been required to define motherhood or as yet to fetch that apple pie out of the sky) now has his wholesomeness further fluffed in the same organ: Labour ‘willing to talk’ about higher pay rises for NHS staff

    The Times agrees with Mr AsI as to Harry’s game being a soap opera: Palace and Netflix clash over Sussexes soap opera – but the old thunderer apparently coming out for Labour is a bit rich.

    The original OG Labour-supporting paper, the Daily Mirror, never quite seems to hit the mark these days. On the one hand splashing the Royal clash story all over their frontpage then brazenly complaining of same: Stop this Royal circus

    Leftist politics as ever being the fall back story: Meanwhile, thousands of ordinary Brits are chosing between eating and heating (Mirror) – it is not however explained quite how Harry and Meghan and William and Kate burying the hatchet would feed and warm the poor.

    The Mirror’s lefty campaigners might be better employed calling for a peace treaty to end the war with Russia or for calls for a return to cheap reliable energy here in the UK.

    Of course the Royal kerfuffle suits republicans and anti-British leftists. The Mirror complains of the story’s real life unimportance but splashes with it anyway.

    The Guardian coming from a similar political outlook addresses the story rather frankly – under the heading of TV Review but nonetheless with a huge frontpage photo of the Duke and Duchess of Netflix: Renewed frenzy, but the story remains the same

    And that will be why the BBC also likes the story.

    The story being: racism, mean Royals and: Netflix story brands the Commonwealth as Empire 2.0 (Telegraph) adding a rather transatlantic Obama/Biden tinge to the general air of anti-Britishness

    The hypercondriac left-leaning ‘i’ paper ingnores the rather sensible second opinion of Dr John Campbell about the fallacy of their shock horror claims that bog standard antibiotics are somehow in dangerous short supply here in the UK by doubling down on their alarmism today: UK to import Strep A drugs amid supply concern. Death toll rises to 15

    The Britain is rubbish theme is a constant refrain for the globalist FT: Spending squeeze tighter than in other countries… FT analysis has shown. One economist said the data were ‘remarkable and worrying’ Gloomy outlook page 5

    A nice grammatical point there being that data is plural. The economist being singular rather detracts from the message, however.

    Lefties don’t condemn Biden for allowing Harry Dunn’s killer Anne Sacoolas to stay in the US

    Of course you can’t bring the kid back, and the act was momentary negligence rather than intentional

    Russell Howard is one of the more obnoxious “comedians” much in favour at the BBC.
    Well of course he is, being a woke, leftist activist like all the other so-called comedians that infest and infect the airwaves.

    Recently he put out a video denying that the culture war even exists, and viciously mocking those who warn of it. Depressingly, it received over half a million views on YouTube.

    It’s important to refute such nonsense as, if people don’t even know there’s a war raging, they won’t fight it, and we really are doomed.
    Here is Andrew Laurence’s response, in which he states that the war is very real indeed and has ruined lives and poisoned debate. Optimistically, he also suggests that the people have had enough and the tide is turning.

        Susan Rice Was a Diplomatic Disaster
        Joe Biden doesn’t need a running mate who has shown such poor judgment.

        Aug. 10, 2020

        https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/10/opinion/susan-rice-africa.html

        In its 2011 World Report, Human Rights Watch noted the following about Ethiopia under the rule of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi: The ruling party had won parliamentary elections with 99.6 percent of the vote. Supporters of opposition parties endured months of constant intimidation. Journalists and human-rights activists had been forced to leave the country. And hundreds of political prisoners were “in jail and at risk of torture and ill-treatment.”

        Meles died the following year. Susan Rice, then the Obama administration’s ambassador to the United Nations, flew to Addis Ababa to deliver a eulogy. “Prime Minister Meles was an uncommon leader, a rare visionary, and a true friend to me and many,” she said. While briefly allowing that the two could disagree on issues of democracy and human rights, she showered the deceased strongman with praise. He was, she said, “uncommonly wise,” “brilliant” and “selfless.”

      The BBC is splashing £1.2 million a year in taxpayers’ cash on equality and diversity officers, an FoI request has revealed. In research published by Conservative Way Forward, the publicly-funded broadcaster admits to 15 members of staff employed on issues predominantly related to equality, diversity, and inclusivity – with an average salary of £80,000. More than twice as much as the average nurse…

      Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, in 2020 the BBC announced it would spend a whopping £100 million over three years to produce more “diverse” and “inclusive” content. Then-Director General Tony Hall claimed it would help to address “the stain of systemic racism”. The good news is they’re on track to exceed their target: between April 2021 and April 2022, they spent £44 million. The bad news for the 400 staff working at the World Service is they had to lose their jobs in a cost-cutting restructure earlier this year…

    Street harassment to be banned in crackdown, government says
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63916328

    In this article the BBC drag up two old misandrist agenda stories just to remind us of them it seems because neither has anything whatsoever to do with the ‘harassment’ headline:

    ‘The murder of Sarah Everard, who was abducted and killed by a serving policeman while walking home in south London last year, has also increased concerns over women’s safety and attitudes towards women.’

    ‘Six months later, primary school teacher Sabina Nessa, 28, was murdered in south London by a man she had never met.’

    And just look how they give us information about who did the first murder (and writing ‘serving policeman’ is intended to make us all implicitly assume he was white), but the fact that the second was done by an Albanian immigrant has been completely left out.

    A direct example of their blatant agenda-based double standards. Deliberate omission of facts like that is lying.

    When pop stars are duped into performing in the Arab country, they merely help the regime’s propaganda machine

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/01/pop-stars-mariah-carey-saudi-arabia-regime-propaganda-machine

    Carey has famously always had a devoted gay fanbase: in Saudi Arabia, homosexuality is punishable by death.

    Pop stars such as Mariah Carey may well be fooled by publicists into thinking that, by performing in countries ruled by abhorrent regimes, they will advance progressive causes. They do no such thing: they simply help legitimise tyranny. They became pop stars because of their love of music. They must surely ask themselves if they really ever aspired to become the propaganda devices of one of the worst regimes on Earth.

    For the Many (Haters), Not the Few (Lovers).

    I wonder when posting links such as “Spike Milligan – Pakistani Daleks” will be constituted as a ‘Hate Crime’? Once the Hate Crime Hub starts end of the year by Amber Rudd?

    BBC News between the footy . East Kent NHS trust . The medical mafia covering up the harm to a pregnant lady who a surgeon nearly killed . Left her sterile . The surgeon is not named – . Still works at the Trust . Notes of the failure were surpressed and found by accident .

    The CEO of the NHS trust refuses interviews (£200 k pa ?)…

    Just caught the end of a BBC London News feature on the World Cup, they were talking to French, Moroccan and Brazilian fans in the capital.
    Any England fans? Oh, they followed one on his journey to Qatar – he”s black, of course.

    Gareth Southgate on the news is wearing a shirt with the EE network logo on either shoulder. At first glance I thought they were dollar signs.
    It amounts to the same thing I suppose.

    Mobility scooter death: Man denies Thomas O’Halloran murder
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63918415

    The bit which got my attention here was:

    ‘He was stabbed in the neck, chest and abdomen, post-mortem tests found.’

    Now that is a particularly viscious and nasty way to murder someone. It wasn’t an unfortunate death from a single wound to the chest, it was a frenzied, bloody murder.

    But the BBC have downplayed it ever since a man got charged and he was black. There are plenty of pictures available, but they choose not to include one in this article.

    Here he is:

    Murders like this should carry the death sentence. But the racist BBC don’t even want us to know what he looks like.

      Not a problem. If he was white you can bet they’d tell us. Since they don’t, it’s obvious.
