    First.

    Watching Strike, the first thing I have watched on BBC tv for ages apart from the odd news bulletin.

    I used to be very against J K Rowling because of her support for the Labour Party. However as the woke mob are against her, I am prepared to watch things she had written.

    “Twitter Files bombshell as emails show even chief censor feared the FBI was breaking the law helping US intelligence engage in domestic operations: Yoel Roth was ‘uncomfortable’ being grilled over ‘state propaganda’ on the app

    The most recent edition of the ‘Twitter Files’ reveals that FBI officials demanded execs for the social media giant to give them information 
    Journalist Matt Taibbi posted emails showing the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force wanted info about state-run media’s use of the site
    The agency was unsatisfied with the idea that it ‘had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors’ 
    Even Yoel Roth, the former ‘Twitter censor’ who was forced to flee, was uncomfortable with the FBI agent Elvis Chan’s requests”

    “The latest EU scandal shows it’s sentimental hogwash to say only Right-wing MPs are corrupted by greed

    The busting open of a cash-for-votes scam at the highest levels of the European Parliament is a triumph for the Belgian intelligence services: Hercule Poirot might have twirled his moustache in patriotic admiration.

    Unsurprisingly, many in this country have said that the extent of the corruption, involving suitcases containing about 1.5 million euros in banknotes, illustrates what a venal institution is the assembly that gravitates, at astonishing public expense, between Brussels and Strasbourg.

    But within that institution, another point is being made — at least by members of the Centre-Right faction in the parliament. They have pointed out that all of those arrested for allegedly taking bribes from Qatar — as that Gulf state sought to win votes allowing its people and businesses greater access to the EU — are members or former members of the Socialists and Democrats group in the assembly.

    The most senior of them is Eva Kaili, who has now been ousted as a vice-president of the EU parliament. But the kingpin, according to the investigators, is an Italian trade union boss turned Socialist MEP, Pier Antonio Panzeri.”

Wherever there is a fast buck to be made or scamming the public purse (Moneybags Mone aside) then its always alien nationals who may speak in broken English but know every trick in the sodding book.

    The BBC is – of course in no way anti semitic . I wonder what the balance of Muslim talking heads to Jewish talking heads on BBC programmes –
    As the Muslims breed and set up their own ( unregulated ) education systems the anti Jewish – anti Israel attitude it only going to grow …..

        Today’s BBC Musk Emole

        Should Musk step down from Twitter?

        Twitter has made the headlines ever since Elon Musk took over the social media platform. He has faced criticism after taking up the position of chief executive officer, and now the technology tycoon is putting his future to a public vote. He’s tweeted: “Should I step down as head… I will abide by the results…” The poll has been put to his 122 million followers, and comes as Twitter says it will shut down accounts solely designed to promote other social media platforms. Take a look at what’s going on here.

        ***
        Timmeh! is of course, exempted from such a question.

            I presume he planned to do this anyway and let someone else who the BBC do not hate so much be the frontman while he directs things from the background. The Left have been in an absolute frenzy of hate and hypocrisy ever since he took over.

            Doing it like this gives him the moral high-ground.

            But the main point for me is how the fascist Left have got rid of someone else.

            The poll is 57% for step down
            with 3 hours to go
            15 million voted.
            It’s one way of getting the bot accounts to show themselves
            So he could void the vote, or just put his lacky in charge and claim he’s stepped down himself.

    Manchester Arena attack: Martyn’s Law for venue security to cover all of UK
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-64018123

    ‘The new rules, dubbed Martyn’s Law, will cover all of the UK and require venues and local authorities to have preventative action plans against terror attacks, the government said.’

    Quite amazing that such an article can talk about terrorist attacks and the terrorist threat without once going anywhere near naming those who have done it.

    The REAL issue here is why we need this law in the first place. But they don’t go anywhere near it.

    You can be 100% sure the far-Right would have been named if the threat was from them.

    It’s this kind of double-standard and hypocrisy from the BBC which renders any article they write which involves their woke agenda to be so deliberately misleading about the truth, they are basically lies.

    Not only picking on White but also female this time

    We know employing people by the colour of the skin isn’t the answer to the right person for the job

    The guy is from Ghana, didn’t really see black teachers when growing up. I’m wondering what the statistics are for White teachers in Ghana – surely this needs to be looked at and reported by the racist bBC

    “I have friends who are from ethnic minority backgrounds who’d like to be teachers – but the lack of representation is putting them off” ?? Just apply for jobs then!

      As David (isn’t that a culturally appropriated name? Do have a word with the race grifter from Willesden in a funny outfit…) says: “I’m 14, and have moved around a bit”. Thing is, David, not many teachers are 14 year old boys so, bottom line, you won’t find many teachers who look like you, regardless of colour.

      But this piece of racist shit stirring important BBC journalism is doubly misleading. It starts off by stating ‘Statistics show that teaching as a profession is overwhelmingly white and female’. This is correct, but then talks exclusively about the former. Why not the latter? I have worked in primary schools and around 85% of primary teachers are female. Many schools have only one male teacher, and in some the only male person that a pupil might encounter is the janitor (or a pervert brought in for ‘Drag Queen Story time). In one school I was familiar with, all the staff were female. The local education authority advised the headmistress that she needed to recruit some male teachers. “Over my dead body!” was her response. Given that many children grow up without a positive male role in their lives, and that this is a problem which has severe consequences in, but not exclusive to, so-called vibrant diverse communities, this would seem a far more important area to address.

        ‘three-quarters of teachers were women, and there were more female than male teachers in every ethnic group’

        But they don’t care about that. It’s against the agenda.

    Just been checking out what’s going on with the huge EU corruption story.

    Putting ‘EU corruption’ into google brings up many recent articles of important topics such as Qatar threatening to cut off EU gas.

    However the search ‘EU corruption BBC’ shows they covered it in 2 articles when it happened a week ago and have now dropped it completely.

    Absolutely standard for the BBC. They refuse to report on anything negative about the EU because of their ongoing campaign to get us to rejoin. I am aware that we are not informed about any of the issues over there such as strikes, their economies or their immigrant problems.

    It’s outrageous bias – but the same outrageous bias we have seen for years now and it’s clear everyone who is supposed to be the check-and-balance (ie MP’s and OFCOM) are happy with it.

    TOADY Watch #1 – well, that is quite an admission on air

    JustRemainIn Webb was interviewing Christina McAnea about the forthcoming ambulance strike. Justin asked the very reasonable question about the huge amounts of extra money the Conservative Government had put into the NHS and the success of the Conservative Government in recruiting more Doctors and Nurses to the NHS to which Christina McAnea replied: “The last three strikes have been while a Conservative Government is in power.” or words to that effect.

    Which confirms us what some have suspected all along, these strikes are political, they are not about the so-called ‘cost-of-living-crisis’ largely stoked by the media, especially the BBC, on the convenience of the back of the Pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War. The strikes are out to remove a democratically elected Government before it is time for a General Election.

    There is absolutely no doubt that what is happening is a cross-union left-wing plot to try to unseat the Government even if this means deaths, loss and casualties for the public.

    Scrutiny of the law on striking needs to be made and any flagrant mis-use of their position by union bigwigs should be subject to legal action and punishment.

    “Elon Musk was pictured with Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner watching the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday
    Dan Ives, senior equity analyst at Wedbush Securities, told the BBC before the” – definitely a reason the likes of the bBC wouldn’t like Elon Musk

    I don’t watch it myself, but apparently Coronation St has been running a plotline about a far-right campaign against refugees.

    **Spoiler alert** Now it seems to have jumped up a notch — someone wants to rebrand the Christmas market a “Peace Market” to make it more inclusive… it’s not gone down too well with the far-far right and there’s a plot to bomb it.

    Because if there’s one thing the last 15 years of European crime stats has shown, when a Christmas market is attacked it’s always those far-far-far-right extremists behind it.

    My research reveals that “Griff Reynolds” is the name of this extremist character. An echo of Nick Griffin’s surname, perhaps? Maybe just a coincidence … unless they introduce another Far-Right colleague called something like Neil Farridge or Robbie Tomminson.

    So what when you think what some vicious bitches have said about various Tory politicians, Trump and of course fat Brand and her battery acid comments allowed
    By the bbc..so alls fair ?

    Nope it seems not, Brande was “only joking” claims the bbc so thats OK then but never ever for Clarkson is that defence allowed by the far left

    BBC webshite demonstrates its selective eyesight.

    First story. Judges rule the Rwanda asylum policy is legal.

    The photo shows a group demonstrating against the judgement.

    They have placards. They come from the Public and Commercial Services Union.

    Hang on. Aren’t their members the very ones who give rulings on asylum cases? More generally , what other conflicts of interest may occur between civil servants, the policy of their union, and the policy of government?

    No wonder our immigration system is in total chaos with so few failed economic migrants sent back if those that manage it are viscerally opposed to it,

    A major factor the impartial BBC seems not to have noticed.

    Sunday A Point Of View ..gaslighting us
    by saying “Snow will only be seen on Christmas cards”

    claiming snow used to come EVERY year
    and now doesn’t
    That’s false there always years where there was hardly ever any snow ..and then years when it was on the ground for a month

    As meteorologists tell us that the chance of snow is decreasing year on year, Sara Wheeler reflects on a future where younger generations may never get to experience snow – and what that means for a season so ingrained in our lives and culture.

    ‘Winter is deeply embedded in the English language – the white stuff of metaphor’, she writes.

    ‘But if climate change blanches the seasons, one wonders what the as yet unborn writers will reach for when they try to put the unsayable into words.’

      This old chestnut has been doing the rounds for more than 20 years now. On March 20th 2000, the discredited ‘Independent’ newspaper carried an article titled “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”. This quoted a so-called expert (sic) at the Climate Research Fantasy Unit at the bogus University of East Anglia.

      Note: if you follow this link it will take a good minute for the original article to appear as it is an archive site.

      “. . . how much longer we’ll experience snowy winters.”
      They will never stop banging on about this stuff, in defiance of reality.
      I just checked the dates and it seems yesterday was the 13th anniversary of the last broadcast of Wake Up To Wogan. The man himself left us in 2016.
      Mentioning this as I remember on one of his programmes, long before he went into semi-retirement, Wogan was laughing at the climate catastrophists, “They said we’d only be able to grow cactus in our gardens by now!”

    Lots of press coverage of the Strictly Come Dancing result and the suggested careful manipulation by BBC executives to get a defined ‘up and coming BBC D-list ‘celebrity’’ into the winners enclosure.
    This time round, with echoes of Bob Dylan, the fat BAME who the judges scored last came first. How about that? Apparently he’s been top on social media for several weeks.

    They could save themselves a pile of time and money if they cancel the dancing altogether and just focus solely on the PR.

      So basically they all turned up en-mass without tickets and decided to just push forward and force their way into the gig. Not just a few – all of them. The only thing they cared about was taking what they wanted.

      If that’s not a clear sign of just how broken a certain section of our society is, I don’t know what is. But as they say, before you can ever start to solve your problems, you have to admit to yourself what they are. And the BBC think their multicultural agenda is more important so they will never do that. It doesn’t matter to them how many people get killed – whether here or anywhere else in Londonistan. Their ideological ends justify the means (and the deaths).

        I remember only last year when ticketless England fans (mostly young white males) tried to force their way into Wembley stadium. The MSM went berserk at this lawlessness. The response to black people doing the same thing is more questioning of security and policing than of the behaviour of the mob.

    The Biased Broadcasting Corporation have been fairly quiet about recent seismic events at Twitter and what has been revealed about the extraordinary bias and corruption there and in Big Tech in general, exposing the collusion and election interference of Big Tech, the msm, the Democrat Party, and various politicised government agencies such as the FBI, the Justice Department, even the IRS. (Thank you Obama and Biden.)

    But suddenly the BBC are interested enough to post on their Home Page the fact that “Twitter users vote in favour of boss resigning”. NOW they’re interested – nay, positively salivating.
    Musk has replaced Trump as the number one hate figure for the left (BBC). The Left have been squealing like pigs and howling like banshees ever since he took over. His crime? Bringing back a bit of free speech, and holding the liberals to the same standards as everyone else, after they’ve been given preferential treatment for years.

    PS. The ‘liberals’ are not liberal, just as the progressives are not progressive and the Democrats are not democratic. See Orwell and the corruption of language.

      Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),

      As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.

      Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.

      ‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’

      CAS-4987700-SY1FTF : BBC NewsWatch says boredom with pro-Brexit march.

      CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.

      CAS-4939547-J71Z1V: Here’s hoping Ireland do the right thing G.Lineker.

      CAS-4937378-YKMWBJ: BBC not reporting ‘Day of Freedom’ March 06may2018.

      CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.

      CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.

      CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …

      CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …

      CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19 

      Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.

      Cheers,
      Mark
