    FFS Radio4 has the Tate story as a main item
    Now they’ve brought on As Sarkar as if she is some kind of expert
    She’s off “right wing influencers”… blah blah

      I wonder if Ash gets honorarium dosh?

      – she’s on so often that she contributes more than quite a few salaried goons.

      I have to say that I didn’t like Tate – but the brouhaha surrounding the matter stinks.

      It’s going to be interesting to see how Joe Rogan reacts – as far as I can see ( not very far usually) – Rogan is a pal outside the podcast guest milieu…

    Wallasey pub shooting: Elle Edwards’s family needs answers, say police
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-64125897

    So here’s another murder branching out into a wider campaign. The BBC obviously know it was a white man who did it.

    Up until now, every murder which runs for more than one article at the BBC has been done by whitey. The exception being Sabina Nessa who started off with the night-time vigils etc but was then totally and shamelessly dropped once the racists and misandrists discovered the man who looked like he could be white turned out to be an Albanian immigrant.

    Lets see if I’m wrong and he turns out to be black but they keep running it. I’d bet my house that doesn’t happen.

    @QuentinWillson is on GBnews ostensibly to talk about rising costs for the motorist
    but he’s just praising Khan’s expansion of the ULEZ zone to anywhere inside the M25
    “We really have to get air pollution down with these 40,000 premature deaths every year”

    Firstly that is fake zombie stat .. practically no ones death certificate has “air pollution on it”

    #2 Air pollution has been falling for years and years
    Even if you do nothing it falls
    cos new ICE engines get better in design.

    #3 Air pollution impact is not mainly car engines ..so purely forcing people out of cars or into EV cars doesn’t change air pollution input much
    .. It’s stufff in their home, it’s log burners, it’s trucks, buses, trains, underground, it’s tyre and dust etc.

      Sore point with me . I’ve had to sell my car or incur 12.50 every time I used to . Just another reason to leave londonistan .
      Ironic that I bought new – encouraged to get a diesel by the state – but then found to have been the victim of Kraut fraud . But it did cost them in the end …

      Funny thing was – I mainly use my scooter and the car was a fall back …I wish khan a short life

      Quentin is akin to Kryten – there’s tubs of ad money and PR opportunities are awash with cash.

      Mercenary true believers do very well indeed.

      As a watcher of the EV promotional circus they reward “suitable” content creators handsomely – plane tickets, hotels, loan vehicles, ££££ for puff pieces.

      I used to watch Kryten’s pieces but he’s gotten too absurd for my taste – A Dr. Pangloss for the 21st Century.

      A search for “future transport” on YouTube hints at how much money is being hosed into fantasy…

    This evening the BBC does its’ Correspondents look ahead ‘ thing – which has been going for decades . I’ve listened since I was a kid . It used to be knowledgable – informative – with experienced journos giving reasoned analysis of various countries in the coming year .

    Now it is a smug Islington based woke propaganda piece – usually expending hate on `president Trump and anyone else not approved by the swamp …. I can already hear the sneer …
    ( they will assume BTW that mr trump will be charged and convicted with some crime – maybe tax fraud ) ….

      Fed, the cream of ‘Correspondents Lokk Ahead’ used to be the equivalent of Any Answers that followed the Saturday repeat. The public used to e-mail and ‘phone in to get their voices heard.

      The BBC stopped that a few years back.

      I wonder if it was because the public were rather less biased than the BBC approved and/or were more accurate with their predictions.

    The BBC is “warping modern Britain” by allowing a Left-wing, politically correct bias to infuse the storylines of drama series, a new report has said.

    Some shows are described as being close to outright propaganda because of their criticisms of Brexit, the police, capitalism, the nuclear deterrent and government agencies.

    The Campaign for Common Sense reviewed more than a year’s output of BBC drama and found that the corporation was presenting a version of the UK that few viewers would recognise….

    At last! We are vindicated. The BBC is both corrupt and biased and here is the new report (in proof) in full that proves it…

    In another report today Another DT article savaging the BBC distortion of ‘history’. The BBC won’t wriggle out of this one.

    It is by leading Academic historians concerned about BBC’s distortion of the facts, stated as ‘facts’ which are usually false and arranged as ‘drama’ by the BBC.

    Article by Robin Aitkin writing in DT (today)

    “The BBC is largely staffed by people who consider themselves intellectuals and they often act as if they hate the country they serve. They rarely celebrate the many episodes in British history where the country displayed bravery, fortitude and moral courage. The fact that this country, at the height of its power embarked on the onerous and hugely costly venture of suppressing the slave trade should be a source of great pride – but the BBC prefers to portray us as slavers.”

      It’s an old video – from August. Twitter has added a BBC and a Reuters link (spit) detailing that he’s still talking to police.

      One might expect that somebody operating online wanking sites would be very (extremely) careful about their legal position – the involvement of US Embassy and the earlier SWATing hint that hes trodden on a few toes and that as a consequence there’s a bounty on his head…

      In the long Robert Barnes chat I linked above – there is more relevant context.

      One thing I can see that Tate has persistently done is to raise his profile by provoking/cultivating outrage where he can – and the numbers suggest that that has worked for him + his business. The triggered censoriousness of lefty liberals has been a valuable tool in expanding his reach on the interwebs 🙂

      If he were actually involved in forced sex trafficking – the Romanian police / authorities would categorically be the least of his worries. It might be though that some other players are interested in taking over his business…

      Woow! BBC America is below ‘Adult swim’ channel (listed as 54) but slightly above ‘Disney Junior’ (74) and the ‘Cartoon Network’ (76).

      I guess for the BBC that is a great result for the future of public broadcasting. So where is CNN?, I wonder. Similar BBC lefty profile, not even on the radar.

      BBC Pension defeciit is never publishes but its given to Mp’s as a ‘default’ if they were to ever pull the plug on the BBC TV license. If that happened (they say) the UK Government would have to pick up the bill. Blackmail of sorts.

      NHS Pensions (it is rumored) are equivalent to five times its annual NHS budget operating expenditure – and that was also hushed up when published back in 2019. It should be easy to find however. BBC also has to publish, although they would like it kept quiet that – its almost bankrupt on over generous BBC ‘pensions’ to those who last the longest.

      Wikipedia is hardly struggling – they’ve quite a wedge in the bank as I understand it – the tin rattling / panhandling is just a reminder that they’re a not for profit.

      I gave a little money in the early days – but then they allowed obsessive ideological wingnuts to run amok – as in prize shithead William Connolley – their cowardice and general sleaziness in sacking him and locking him out was not inspiring to watch.

      All told, Conolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique, deleted 500 more and managed to block ca. 2000 other authors of Wikipedia articles

      Conolley hasn’t gone away – he’s likely been gluing himself to stuff around the place. He has a band of trolls who hang on his every word.

        That’s why I don’t donate to orgs that they have hijacked in Alinsky style ..like Wikipedia

        … If you want a professional job
        then pay professional money ”

        I keep thinking about whether I should use a begging bowl for my projects
        but generally I work out very economical ways of living and doing things, and then people often give me free stuff anyway, so who am I to take people’s money that could go to other things ?

        Definite synergy with the BBC’s take on their “fact checking”

        Some years ago I did register to edit some clearly fallacious Wikipedia entries (with references etc.) – there was a pile-on … the lefty greens involved were vituperative and gratuitously insulting (felt like unmoderated Gurdian comments)

        A lot of Wikipedia contributors are ignorant shouty jerks. Over 20 years I’ve probably edited a couple of parochial local entries – and had the edits undone by people who regard the subject as their own personal fiefdoms.

        iirc – Wales’s people have covered up / expunged the Connolley affair ?
