Earlier I mentioned that our local media are having a festival of windfarm PR as they are all on a free trip to Denmark
to promote the first day of direct flights. from Humberside Airport.
I meant to add some context
cos as ever news reports MISLED by omitting it
#1 Almost all wind farm firms are foreign owned so are continually flying in staff from Germany and Denmark
and flying UK staff there for training.
This is total hypocrisy given the premise of the biz is reducing CO2.
#2 So far from being a brand new thing today’s change means that staff can fly on a commercial flight rather than charter or coming in via Amsterdam
#3 Indeed the media ran similar stories in 2014 and 2016 when similar flights started
..both only lasted 6 months
AFAIK The Danish company then ran daily charter planes for some time to bring in Danish workers
Only the ITV evening show opened with quick context that commercial flights had started and failed before.
#4 flight radar showed that today’s flight took a bizarre route
First fling well inland and up over Newcastle , instead of a shorter route ..straight east
Otherwise the ITV piece was a straight polished ADVERT
Sickening lines likes “A step to a brighter greener future”
“336,000 wind farm industry jobs were advertised in the UK”
probably a fake number
Green jobs is a fallacy
cos really efficient industry means LESS jobs and therefore lower prices.. green biz is the opposite
Oh the item even had clips from wind industry PR material
I found the program ‘Winfarm wars’ very interesting.
Everybody involved was interested in only one thing : money. Though of course none of them explicitly said it at the start.
The interesting part was that after the public inquiry, we were told that by all normal rules, the farm would not be allowed. But there was a special rule for windfarms which overruled everything else so it was approved.
Red-io Humberside Sunday morning news
was utterly predictable
It had the usual news item “And coming up in our Politics North TV programme”
This time it was “Hull Labour MP Dian Johnson says something about trains”..clip then “You can hear more in our Politics North TV programme”
=====
Wednesday morning new bulletins had a big item
“Hull Labour MP Karl Turner has said something about the Fenner Dunlop factory in Hull closing”
Turner clip “Oh these 70 jobs are being lost cos the company is being brave and obeying anti Russia sanctions, you see 90% of its biz was with Russia ”
Well is that true ?
.. Fenner Dunlop make conveyor belts for the mining industry
And what do Karl Turner and his mates in the Red/Blue Islington Socialist Party do ?
… They hate mines in Britain and try to stop them.. they only like to expand Lithium and rare Earth metal mining in China and Africa.
To be fair the Whitby Potash mine is about to open
ITV reported more Hull job losses : Hull only has 2 fishing boats , they are big industrial trawlers
but cos the Red Tories are so crap at Brexit and just give away our fish without negotiating proper exchange, one of the Hull boats the Farnella is being sent to Germany to be decommissioned
Next item : Fly tipping featured the same farmer who is in 50% of their farming stories.
– PR Item plugging an ITV celeb medical show
– PR item for RSPCA campaign
– PR item about new tech for disabled people …seems to be {PR for Google

Shocking video footage has emerged of the moment a teenage boy was run down on the streets of Montpellier as Moroccan fans riot following their World Cup semi final defeat to France.
The boy, 14, was part of a large group of what appeared to be Moroccan supporters marauding down Rue de la Mosson in the southern French city when they happened upon a white hatchback with a French flag flying out of its window.
The group descended on the car, attempting to rip the flag away from its owner, when the driver panicked and performed a hasty U-turn to cross into the oncoming lane and make a quick getaway.”

Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.
Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?
I see we now have multiple articles on the murder of Zara Aleena including empathy pieces from people telling us how wonderful she was. I haven’t seen this level of coverage since that copper killed Sarah Everard. The BBC have three seperate articles up on the main page today.
Contrast that with the extremely limited reporting on the equally brutal murders of Sabina Nessa and Hina Bashir who were also just walking the streets when they were attacked.
Why have these latter 2 effectively been brushed under the carpet ?.
Here’s why:
The murderers for for the first two are called Wayne Couzens and Jordan McSweeney. Both are white British.
The killers for the second two are called Koci Selamaj and Mohammed Arslan. Both are BAME.
It stinks to high heaven. It’s absolutely racist and proves the Leftist BBC don’t care one bit about who gets murdered or how horribly they die. They only push the story if they can use it for their agenda against white males.
I am stunned at how it happens so blatantly and they all ignore it. What extreme hypocrites people in the media really are. I despise their ethics.

Comes after NHS boss announced series of cost-cutting measures
By JONATHAN GORNALL FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 22:19, 3 April 2017 | UPDATED: 15:50, 5 April 2017
Waste is endemic in almost every corner of the service, ranging from the huge variations in prices paid by different trusts for the same basic supplies — with some hospitals paying twice as much as others for identical loo rolls and wet-wipes — to harebrained IT schemes and management reorganisations that see billions of pounds diverted into the pockets of technology companies and management consultants (many of whom once worked for the NHS).
I can’t see the money invested in management consultants ever be wasted . I was in an organisation where external management consultants were hired to improve it . The management consultant company was owned by a mate of the chap who ran my outfit ….
……. Anyway – they spent months doing ‘structured interviews ‘ which were no good because what my outfit did was very ‘unstructured ‘ and impossible for outsiders to get to grips with .
After a few months the report was submitted and ‘change managers ‘ hired – who were also ‘good friends ‘ of the boss .
The result was a ‘rebrand ‘ . Nothing else changed …. Except the boss got a new job .. with a management consultancy ….
But I still prefer British corruption to the EU type …
PS I Also admire the practice of Tax Inspectors retiring and getting jobs with accountancy firms …
The NHS went tits up with wastage when they started contracting out. That was when it became a cash cow for all the companies who were given contracts for maintenance, cleaning, catering and the rest. Care and quality went down the pan after that.
A local hospital nearby, when they were crying out for PPEs during the height of the pandemic, had a lorry load turn up on Friday afternoon, but the onsite depot taking the stock finished early on Fridays, so the lorry couldn’t unload and didn’t return until after the weekend ! Laughable isn’t it.
Know anyone who works in the NHS or their families? They are still obsessed with testing for covid. Doctors’ wives still asking me to test before I see them. They tell me they (ie the wives) test regularly and add that their spouse brings the tests home because they are ‘free’. I bite my tongue, think they are not free, I am paying for them.

Bodyguard has been a huge hit for BBC One – and now it’s coming to Netflix.
The streaming network has acquired the rights to show the gripping thriller outside the UK and Ireland.
However, it’s not the BBC that has done the deal. In fact, the show has been sold to Netflix by ITV Studios.
That’s because the drama was made by production company World Productions, which was bought by ITV’s programme-making and distribution subsidiary ITV Studios last year.
Deals like this are now normal practice in the TV world.

Earlier this year it became mandatory in City Hall, with every employee required to complete it to ensure the GLA would be “a committedly anti-racist organisation”. “Our capital’s diversity is its greatest strength, but the makeup of too many organisations, especially at their highest levels, fails to present a true picture of modern London”…
How’s it going? Well, at the Oversight Committee yesterday, GLA Chief Executive Officer was asked about the completion rates of the training. The team with the worst completion rate is… Sadiq Khan’s office.
At the same committee, it was also revealed that the draft diversity and inclusion budget for City Hall is £700,000 for 2023-2024. The total budget for supporting people in food poverty? £400,000.

GB News can be just as bad as other tv/ radio stations. They were interviewing a nurse on the picket line who knows lots of nurses who are coming to work on an empty stomach because they cannot afford to eat, and they have to go to food banks. Even if they are single mums, they will be getting family allowance, 10% off their groceries, if they are so poor their children will be getting free school means and the money that Rashford got for them. But even single mums should be getting support from the fathers of their children. Just what are they doing with all the money coming in. We also keep hearing about the huge sums hospital trusts are paying for each session worked on the bank. So these desperately poor and hungry nurses could park the kids with their dads whilst they worked a bank session, and then they could eat for the week (probably on black truffles and caviar if the rates that are sometimes quoted are correct).
However the interviewer at GBNews (I was listening on the radio so not sure who the interviewer was), and the nurse being interviewed then realised that they may be losing support from the many poorer than nurses) and switched to the idea that nurses are striking because they fear for their patients. I have observed in hospitals there are nurses that work, and there are nurses who seem to move at snail’s pace. I can understand one of the former (ie worker) getting to the end of their tether when so many of the latter see isolating because of covid and ideal opportunity to have a break and leave the workers on the ward to cover. But replacing diversity officers with nurses would help this situation.
I so agree with the “snails pace”. More than one of my circle has said that whenever you go into a hospital, there are generally 4 or 5 nurses with the odd doctor, huddled around a computer screen, or nattering away at the nurses station. My brief stay recently didn’t exactly see nurses scurrying around as though their life (or someone else’s) depended on it. Mind you, perhaps being over-weight might have something to do with it. The nurses at my hospital definitely don’t do food banks or they’d all be a size 8.
Bloomberg (billionaire democrat-funding philanthropist and WEF partner) positing one of those ‘questions’ via a nicely placed third-party stooge: “Should the Climate Movement Embrace Property Destruction?”
“The task for the climate movement is to make clear for people that building new pipelines, new gas terminals, opening new oil fields are acts of violence that need to be stopped — they kill people” […] Malm argues that while the majority of climate action should remain non-violent, no social sea change — from the suffragettes to the Civil Rights Movement — has succeeded through completely peaceful activism. “We shouldn’t engage in assassinations or terrorism, or use arms and things like that,” he says. “But until that line or boundary, we need virtually everything … all the way up to sabotage and property destruction.”
I think we see where this is going. (Bloomberg article 2024: “Should the Climate Movement Embrace Assassinations and Terrorism?”)

Using their ‘live’ reporting technique which they found so successful against Boris, the BBC are now using it against the Royal Family.
Every time I check the front page, they have changed the headline to another selected quote from Harry which makes Royal family sound cold and heartless. It’s one after the other. It’s exactly what they did to Boris and it’s no coincidence that every time they do it, it’s in line with their own political agenda.
The really sick thing about this is that they know full well they can do whatever they like because the Royal Family will never get involved in tit-for-tat gutter press like this.
I’m not a fan of the Royal Family at all – but IMHO they are the least worst alternative to what we will have if the socialist BBC get what they want. We would have had someone like Blair in there and just imagine how that would have turned out considering the damage he has done already.
The BBC are out of control. They don’t care one bit if they are completely out of touch with the people who are forced to fund them. They are now using their reach on a crusade to force the world to follow their far-Left ideology. They have no comprehension at all from their group-think bubble about how much they are actually despised.

This is the power the BBC currently have. Panorama is the most biased hypocritical trash I have ever seen which uses ‘lies by omission’ to the extreme – but the BBC have learned that they can make whatever they like then use their tricks to push it repeatedly in their ‘news’ and that pressure forces government policy in the direction they want. It’s leftist activism pure and simple.
They must be stopped. It’s completely out of hand now.

Earlier I mentioned that our local media are having a festival of windfarm PR as they are all on a free trip to Denmark
to promote the first day of direct flights. from Humberside Airport.
I meant to add some context
cos as ever news reports MISLED by omitting it
#1 Almost all wind farm firms are foreign owned so are continually flying in staff from Germany and Denmark
and flying UK staff there for training.
This is total hypocrisy given the premise of the biz is reducing CO2.
#2 So far from being a brand new thing today’s change means that staff can fly on a commercial flight rather than charter or coming in via Amsterdam
#3 Indeed the media ran similar stories in 2014 and 2016 when similar flights started
..both only lasted 6 months
AFAIK The Danish company then ran daily charter planes for some time to bring in Danish workers
Only the ITV evening show opened with quick context that commercial flights had started and failed before.
#4 flight radar showed that today’s flight took a bizarre route
First fling well inland and up over Newcastle , instead of a shorter route ..straight east
Otherwise the ITV piece was a straight polished ADVERT
Sickening lines likes “A step to a brighter greener future”
“336,000 wind farm industry jobs were advertised in the UK”
probably a fake number
Green jobs is a fallacy
cos really efficient industry means LESS jobs and therefore lower prices.. green biz is the opposite
Oh the item even had clips from wind industry PR material

I found the program ‘Winfarm wars’ very interesting.
Everybody involved was interested in only one thing : money. Though of course none of them explicitly said it at the start.
The interesting part was that after the public inquiry, we were told that by all normal rules, the farm would not be allowed. But there was a special rule for windfarms which overruled everything else so it was approved.

Wednesday morning new bulletins had a big item
“Hull Labour MP Karl Turner has said something about the Fenner Dunlop factory in Hull closing”
Turner clip “Oh these 70 jobs are being lost cos the company is being brave and obeying anti Russia sanctions, you see 90% of its biz was with Russia ”
Well is that true ?
.. Fenner Dunlop make conveyor belts for the mining industry
And what do Karl Turner and his mates in the Red/Blue Islington Socialist Party do ?
… They hate mines in Britain and try to stop them.. they only like to expand Lithium and rare Earth metal mining in China and Africa.

Shocking video footage has emerged of the moment a teenage boy was run down on the streets of Montpellier as Moroccan fans riot following their World Cup semi final defeat to France.
The boy, 14, was part of a large group of what appeared to be Moroccan supporters marauding down Rue de la Mosson in the southern French city when they happened upon a white hatchback with a French flag flying out of its window.
The group descended on the car, attempting to rip the flag away from its owner, when the driver panicked and performed a hasty U-turn to cross into the oncoming lane and make a quick getaway.”

I see we now have multiple articles on the murder of Zara Aleena including empathy pieces from people telling us how wonderful she was. I haven’t seen this level of coverage since that copper killed Sarah Everard. The BBC have three seperate articles up on the main page today.
Contrast that with the extremely limited reporting on the equally brutal murders of Sabina Nessa and Hina Bashir who were also just walking the streets when they were attacked.
Why have these latter 2 effectively been brushed under the carpet ?.
Here’s why:
The murderers for for the first two are called Wayne Couzens and Jordan McSweeney. Both are white British.
The killers for the second two are called Koci Selamaj and Mohammed Arslan. Both are BAME.
It stinks to high heaven. It’s absolutely racist and proves the Leftist BBC don’t care one bit about who gets murdered or how horribly they die. They only push the story if they can use it for their agenda against white males.
I am stunned at how it happens so blatantly and they all ignore it. What extreme hypocrites people in the media really are. I despise their ethics.

A minor typo on the BBC news website brings a momentary smile on this chilly winter’s morning. Under the headline: Bank of England expected to raise interest rates – our Beeb boys and girls refer to the: the cost if living
Perhaps there’s a freudian slip from the left-leaning BBC there somewhere involving that old saying to the effect we’re all equal in the cemetary
No such economic worries then for: Four dead after migrant dinghy sinks in Channel – they’ve gone to a much better place afterall… or, as Irish comic Dave Allen might have concluded: May their god go with them
With mortality in mind – memento mori – as the ancient artistic symbolism would have it, one turns to the Daily Mirror’s blacked out frontpage and garish yellow screamer: We are with you – this motto of course the Labour-supporting Mirror volunteers with which it presumes to speak for the public in direct reply to their headline of yesterday which they put into the mouths of striking healthworkers: We’re doing this for you
As is their wont the decidedly heart-on-sleave Mirror’s leftist political outlook ought really to be always bolstered by the conjuring of a veritable orchestra of tiny violins: You cared for us when we needed it most – surely this smacks of an epitaphic commentary on our NHS.
Engraved on its tombstone
And the way things are going – and the way things went during their inappropriate Lockdown – with hospital and GP surgery closures – the whiff of finality and remembrance shrouds those words.
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Bevan to Hancock
Dust to dust
Starched uniforms to scruffy scubs
Tik to Tok
In sure and certain hope of something better
We now commit the NHS to the graveyard of history
The Mirror temps us with: Now the decent people of Britain say to our nurses…
Maybe you could do with losing a pound or two there yourself, luv, before giving us the health advice?
Do you speak English, at all?
Oddly enough the polling upon which this public sympathy for the striking nurses is assumed gets quoted frontpage of the Daily Express which goes with: Give nurses a deal and stop this madness… Polling reveals 52 per cent of voters strongly support… – ah, that old 52-48 result, whereupon anti-Brexiteers claimed we in the 52s were naively duped.
So you get a phonecall from a pollster who asks (in terms) – Do you support the angels as advertised in Call The Midwife on BBC One this coming Christmas Day? Or are you a mean old sod?
Big Pharma cashing in again: Regulators are investigating whether drug groups are charging too much for antibiotics after a rise in cases of Streptococcus A lifted demand (FT) – that’s scarlet fever to you and me.
Take the left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper (if that’s your rag and the opinions of the likes of Jasmin Alibhai-Brown are your bag) you would think that organ tended antithetical to money-grubbing big corporations getting fat off the nation’s health concerns – but oh how wrong you would be: NHS ‘prescribing nature’ really does work!
The ever hypochondriacal ‘i’ newspaper sets out to put the frighteners up parents everywhere and send them rushing off to A&E with their sick kids: I thought my daughter had a bad cold. Now she’s in intensive care with Strep A – and that, dear readers, is precisely why we could do with a return to accessible local GP family doctors – and why it is near criminal for them to have closed their doors.

REVEALED: How the NHS wastes a staggering £7.6bn a year on overpriced loo rolls, lost crutches and wheelchairs and management consultants… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg
Spent £160m on pills patients do not need and £300m on unnecessary admin
Paid out £1.23bn in compensation and legal fees for 15,000 cases of negligence
Comes after NHS boss announced series of cost-cutting measures
By JONATHAN GORNALL FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 22:19, 3 April 2017 | UPDATED: 15:50, 5 April 2017
Waste is endemic in almost every corner of the service, ranging from the huge variations in prices paid by different trusts for the same basic supplies — with some hospitals paying twice as much as others for identical loo rolls and wet-wipes — to harebrained IT schemes and management reorganisations that see billions of pounds diverted into the pockets of technology companies and management consultants (many of whom once worked for the NHS).

I can’t see the money invested in management consultants ever be wasted . I was in an organisation where external management consultants were hired to improve it . The management consultant company was owned by a mate of the chap who ran my outfit ….
……. Anyway – they spent months doing ‘structured interviews ‘ which were no good because what my outfit did was very ‘unstructured ‘ and impossible for outsiders to get to grips with .
After a few months the report was submitted and ‘change managers ‘ hired – who were also ‘good friends ‘ of the boss .
The result was a ‘rebrand ‘ . Nothing else changed …. Except the boss got a new job .. with a management consultancy ….
But I still prefer British corruption to the EU type …
PS I Also admire the practice of Tax Inspectors retiring and getting jobs with accountancy firms …

The NHS went tits up with wastage when they started contracting out. That was when it became a cash cow for all the companies who were given contracts for maintenance, cleaning, catering and the rest. Care and quality went down the pan after that.
A local hospital nearby, when they were crying out for PPEs during the height of the pandemic, had a lorry load turn up on Friday afternoon, but the onsite depot taking the stock finished early on Fridays, so the lorry couldn’t unload and didn’t return until after the weekend ! Laughable isn’t it.

Bodyguard: How come ITV sold the BBC hit to Netflix?
Published
20 September 2018
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45579665
Bodyguard has been a huge hit for BBC One – and now it’s coming to Netflix.
The streaming network has acquired the rights to show the gripping thriller outside the UK and Ireland.
However, it’s not the BBC that has done the deal. In fact, the show has been sold to Netflix by ITV Studios.
That’s because the drama was made by production company World Productions, which was bought by ITV’s programme-making and distribution subsidiary ITV Studios last year.
Deals like this are now normal practice in the TV world.

How’s it going? Well, at the Oversight Committee yesterday, GLA Chief Executive Officer was asked about the completion rates of the training. The team with the worst completion rate is… Sadiq Khan’s office.
At the same committee, it was also revealed that the draft diversity and inclusion budget for City Hall is £700,000 for 2023-2024. The total budget for supporting people in food poverty? £400,000.

And if you are in the private sector, weep.

Boris Becker: Former Wimbledon champion released after serving eight months of prison sentence
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/63987543
“Becker went on trial earlier this year having been accused of hiding millions of pounds worth of assets to avoid paying his debts.
The 55-year-old German was jailed for two and a half years in April after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act.
Becker qualifies for automatic deportation as a foreign national who does not have British citizenship and received a custodial sentence of more than 12 months”.
So he only does 8 mouths out of 30?
Gets to keep any cash he may have hidden
and avoids pesky probation by being deported.
They save the best bit till last
“He previously worked as a BBC pundit on Wimbledon..”

Yesterday there were reports of plod warning law abiding using their car horns to ‘protest ‘ against Green Crap protesters . Today lovely motorists are sounding their horns in ‘support of ‘angel nurses ‘ after more taxpayers ‘ money .
Unfortunately the image of the’ Angel nurses’ is so strong that they are unlikely to be damaged by striking – however many people die or are harmed as a result .
If only the NHS could be taken on – but it’s far to big to be put right …. It will continue to increasingly hoover up public resources with no better return ….

GB News can be just as bad as other tv/ radio stations. They were interviewing a nurse on the picket line who knows lots of nurses who are coming to work on an empty stomach because they cannot afford to eat, and they have to go to food banks. Even if they are single mums, they will be getting family allowance, 10% off their groceries, if they are so poor their children will be getting free school means and the money that Rashford got for them. But even single mums should be getting support from the fathers of their children. Just what are they doing with all the money coming in. We also keep hearing about the huge sums hospital trusts are paying for each session worked on the bank. So these desperately poor and hungry nurses could park the kids with their dads whilst they worked a bank session, and then they could eat for the week (probably on black truffles and caviar if the rates that are sometimes quoted are correct).
However the interviewer at GBNews (I was listening on the radio so not sure who the interviewer was), and the nurse being interviewed then realised that they may be losing support from the many poorer than nurses) and switched to the idea that nurses are striking because they fear for their patients. I have observed in hospitals there are nurses that work, and there are nurses who seem to move at snail’s pace. I can understand one of the former (ie worker) getting to the end of their tether when so many of the latter see isolating because of covid and ideal opportunity to have a break and leave the workers on the ward to cover. But replacing diversity officers with nurses would help this situation.

I so agree with the “snails pace”. More than one of my circle has said that whenever you go into a hospital, there are generally 4 or 5 nurses with the odd doctor, huddled around a computer screen, or nattering away at the nurses station. My brief stay recently didn’t exactly see nurses scurrying around as though their life (or someone else’s) depended on it. Mind you, perhaps being over-weight might have something to do with it. The nurses at my hospital definitely don’t do food banks or they’d all be a size 8.

Bloomberg (billionaire democrat-funding philanthropist and WEF partner) positing one of those ‘questions’ via a nicely placed third-party stooge: “Should the Climate Movement Embrace Property Destruction?”
“The task for the climate movement is to make clear for people that building new pipelines, new gas terminals, opening new oil fields are acts of violence that need to be stopped — they kill people” […] Malm argues that while the majority of climate action should remain non-violent, no social sea change — from the suffragettes to the Civil Rights Movement — has succeeded through completely peaceful activism. “We shouldn’t engage in assassinations or terrorism, or use arms and things like that,” he says. “But until that line or boundary, we need virtually everything … all the way up to sabotage and property destruction.”
I think we see where this is going. (Bloomberg article 2024: “Should the Climate Movement Embrace Assassinations and Terrorism?”)

Thai princess collapses from heart condition, palace says

‘The palace described her condition last night as “stable to a certain extent”.
Medical bulletins from the royal palace in Thailand are typically vague and cryptic, .’
A little bit rich coming from the BBC.
44-year-old with sudden heart problems? ..
Naturally Bbc don’t mention covid vaccine – a taboo area I guess.

Liverpool council finds 24 adult asylum seekers who are posing as children as it launches legal fight to stop almost £1million in taxpayers cash being spent on their care
Liverpool council say 39 refugees with age in doubt have arrived in the city
Following assessments 24 were found to be adults, while only 15 were under 18
Support for under-18s is much better than for adults, so some lie about their age

Using their ‘live’ reporting technique which they found so successful against Boris, the BBC are now using it against the Royal Family.
Every time I check the front page, they have changed the headline to another selected quote from Harry which makes Royal family sound cold and heartless. It’s one after the other. It’s exactly what they did to Boris and it’s no coincidence that every time they do it, it’s in line with their own political agenda.
The really sick thing about this is that they know full well they can do whatever they like because the Royal Family will never get involved in tit-for-tat gutter press like this.
I’m not a fan of the Royal Family at all – but IMHO they are the least worst alternative to what we will have if the socialist BBC get what they want. We would have had someone like Blair in there and just imagine how that would have turned out considering the damage he has done already.
The BBC are out of control. They don’t care one bit if they are completely out of touch with the people who are forced to fund them. They are now using their reach on a crusade to force the world to follow their far-Left ideology. They have no comprehension at all from their group-think bubble about how much they are actually despised.

If you haven’t seen it – maybe you’ve been swayed by the media character assassination that’s out there – do yourself a favour and watch this 58 minute conversation between Aseem Malhotra and Tucker Carlson.
Keeping Tucker engaged for nearly an hour I would say is an indicator of the gravity of what was discussed.

Government announces inquiry into allegations SAS killed Afghan civilians
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63984311
This is the power the BBC currently have. Panorama is the most biased hypocritical trash I have ever seen which uses ‘lies by omission’ to the extreme – but the BBC have learned that they can make whatever they like then use their tricks to push it repeatedly in their ‘news’ and that pressure forces government policy in the direction they want. It’s leftist activism pure and simple.
They must be stopped. It’s completely out of hand now.
