It seems HS2 is to become HS1.1 . Construction is to be reduced with the first bit of the line operational by 2050 and the whole project done by 2121 …. By then we ll be prevented from leaving out controlled zone for more than 15 minutes to enhance air quality as well as community safety . All will be well ….
Funny old world.
From the BBC News website (Europe section):
“Several killed in shooting in Germany church in Hamburg
Several people are reported to have been killed in a shooting in Hamburg, Germany.
Police said in a tweet that a large-scale operation was under way in the city’s northern Alsterdorf area.
Ambulances are at the scene and German police are searching for the attackers, local media report.
According to Hamburg police, the shooting took place at a church on Deelböge street in the Gros Borstel district.
Local media identified the location as a Jehovah’s Witness centre.
In a statement on Twitter police said “there is no reliable information on the motive for the crime” and they appealed to the public not to share assumptions or to spread rumours.
… … …”
Here’s the article:
Several killed in shooting in Germany church in Hamburg
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64910415
The briefest, basic-facts-only of reports by the BBC.
Elsewhere I see things like:
“So far, there is no reliable information on the motive of the crime,” the police spokesman said. “We ask that you do not share unwarranted assumptions and/or spread rumours.”
‘Bild newspaper said seven people had died and at least eight had been seriously injured in the shooting’
‘Local residents were told to stay indoors and only to use their phones “in extreme emergency” so as not to overburden the network.’
We’ve seen this kind of information omission many times by the BBC and it’s almost always because they are covering up Muslim terrorist murderers.
When it’s ‘Far-Right’, it’s in the main headline within hours and more often than not it’s just because the massive surveillance they are under caught them downloading something in a bedroom. This kind of indiscriminate slaughter is usually just after a vocal advertisement for Alans Snackbar.
If this turns out to be Muslims again, shame on you BBC. You protect these people so some of this blood is on your hands. But of course I know by now that the Left don’t care how many people get murdered. They only matter when they can be used for the agenda.
And when they do eventually cover it (and only because they have to), I guarantee the words ‘Muslim’ and ‘terrorist’ will not be in the report.

I have posted this before….
“What will our Blue Labour Government do about it?
We have all the seen the Bias for a number of years and so have the Tories . Scrap the tax that robs from the poor to give to the rich.
Next time, vote for the Reform Party .
I intend to – but it’s a sign of just how powerful the BBC have become that a) they have assasinated all the politicians who want to get rid of the licesne fee and b) they will assasinate anyone in the Reform party who they think poses any kind of threat.
They are a dishonest, far-Left activist fascist organisation now. Not even the government can stop them. The only way the people can bring them down is to stop paying the tax.
Seems that the shooter was found ‘upstairs’ so I presume he shot himself.
In which case it’s not a Muslim : they WANT to be killed while they are murdering as many infidels as possible. Because that’s the only way they get the 72 virgins in Paradise.
They actually believe that. But of course the BBC hypocrites or the mysogynist feminists never, ever go near that one. It might offend them and that would be racist.
Of course I mean ‘misandrist’ not ‘mysogynist’ before any word police chip in …
I see the BBC are about to set out on another “re-education” exercise with their “adaptation” of Great Expectations….
Yep chock full of effnics, just the way Dickens would have written it if he wasn’t such a racist bastard!
digg
What’s our Tory Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport doing about this airbrushing of our literature and heritage ?
Zilch!
They admitted point blank that they lied about history in Dr Who by placing ethnics where they never were – but they considered it was acceptable because it might help change society to be the way their agenda wants it.
Once they got away with that, they have started doing it for everything. Even ‘Father Brown’s sidekick in the 50’s is a black woman now.
And the next stage is that they are rewriting actual history by changing classic works of white males.
It’s unethical and it’s the sort of social engineering history has taught us to expect from ideologically driven fascists. It’s completely unacceptable and it’s double-standards on a monumental scale.
Of course the blame lies with OFCOM for allowing it. The BBC should be getting their wings clipped every time they do it.
JohnC
“The Blame lies” with our Blue Labour Government that have been in power for 15 Years.
True. But some of them did try.
Until the BBC got to work on them that is with their new relentless day-after-day attack strategy where they ration it to one bullet per day – and repeat the entire back story underneath. And now they have all been removed.
That in itself should have set some serious alarm bells ringing at OFCOM – but as the Left have infested all the organisations who should do something about it, it has gone completely unchallenged.
Stick to David Leans version.
If as a UK citizen, you forced yourself into say the US, Canada, Australia by turning up on the beach on a Small boat with no papers I suspect you would either be in jail or back on a plane to the UK within hours. So why is it only the British are bastards for trying to apply the same regulations?
Don’t tell me, I know, it’s all about getting rid of the Tory Government.
In my opinion, the best way to deter these chancers is to remove the incentive, so no more nice hotels, paid for by you and I, no more credit cards with pocket public money loaded onto them taken from your taxes.
They are foreign criminals so treat them as such. Basic prison cells, prison food etc. etc. with the only option of getting out would be by simply returning to their own Country.
digg
What has the Tory (Blue Labour )Government done about it?
Expect more invaders landing on our shores because there is no deterrent.
IMHO Great Britain has been put in great danger by the numpties running this country.
The only way they will be stopped is by Force .
Brine tweeted against the BBC and Lineker and then deleted it

I’d rather have linker spouting off that brine taking a £1600 a month bung from a ‘health company ‘ after ‘government contracts ‘ all within the rules if he declares the bung of course …
I’d want a lot more since I’d need to fund my lifestyle after getting kicked out in a year …
“Multiple dead in Jehovah’s Witness hall shooting in Germany”

“Danish police hunt yacht which may have carried explosives used to blow up Nord Stream – after bombshell report claimed pro-Ukraine commando unit carried out attack on Russian gas pipelines.
Research by the broadcasters ARD and SWR, Contrast magazine, and Die Zeit newspaper concluded that five men and a woman rented a yacht in Rostock, Germany, on September 6, 2022, which they used to destroy the gas pipelines on September 26.
The yacht was reportedly hired from a company registered in Poland that was owned by two Ukrainian citizens, Die Zeit reported.
The Times reported today that Western intelligence had known for months the name of an alleged Ukrainian sponsor who is supposed to have financed the sabotage of the pipelines.
The publication wrote that an unnamed Ukrainian without state affiliation sponsored the attack.
The Times said that NATO officials hid the names of those involved to save Ukraine from a public row with Germany. ”

“Ofsted boss warns that regulator is powerless to sanction schools teaching children as young as 12 about ‘gender unicorns’ and anal sex – after investigation into ‘age-inappropriate’ sex-ed classes
Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman warned the regulator was ‘powerless’
pupils in other schools are taught there are more than 100 genders while children are being taught gender fluidity as fact in other major academy trusts and independent schools.
In some cases, teaching resources include children being asked how they ‘feel’ about oral and anal sex, and primary school teaching resources on masturbation.”

Doom and gloom at the BBC
It seems that the UK economy grew by 0.3% last month – presumably because some one bought a new car . This goes against the recession mantra the BBC has been spouting . So best find another story … let’s go back to linaker .
I’m gonna look forward to “match of the day” with Gary Saturday night – we win whether he presents or not …..
Maybe a few more blue labour MPs will realise that the BBC hate them ….
“Deadly shooting at Hamburg Jehovah’s Witness hall”
Once again, those Jehovah’s Witnesses are murdering each other.
It’s high time Prevent banned them, along with other Far-Right organisations like The Women’s Institute.
But at least it’s heartening to read that the German authorities have got their priorities right: “Police have appealed to the public not to share assumptions or to spread rumours.”
Let’s see how the BBC handle this story. Will they do their usual trick of obfuscating the facts if it turns out to be the wrong sort of culprits – at least until the story is off the front page?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64910415
JW police press conference is after 11am
Der Spiegel reports that the shooter who killed eight people (including himself) at a Jehovah’s Witnesses hall in Hamburg was “a former member of the Jehovah’s Witness community between the ages of 30 and 40”
He shot at the believers through the windows
.. …The perpetrator initially attacked from the outside
that speculation seems likely to me.
JW has history of an elder sexually abusing someone, and then when the victim speaks up the elder uses their power to exclude them, and gets everyone & their family to shun them
and there was me thinking germany had very strict gun laws
Small beer edition
We do enjoy the odd awkward juxtaposition of headlines which show up the contradictions and hypocrisies of the modern left-liberal mindset.
Today we have to flit between Telegraph and Guardian for our wry smile but the game is a goodun.
The mildly conservative Telegraph may fight the culture war with one arm tied behind its back but its heart is in the general proximity of the right place: Ofsted chief warning over explicit sex lessons… Alam at current guidance which places ‘no limits’ on what can be taught to children – a clear caution there to teachers to put a brake on drag queen story hours and Pride parade-style let it all hang out teaching that’s become all the rage lately.
Meanwhile, over at the Guardian: Grieving mother in plea over ‘low level’ sex crimes… Weeks before Libby Squire was raped, murdered and dumped in a river, a stranger exposed himself to her… Her mother… said… “But I never thought to say to her: You need to report that… we’re amost conditioned to ignore indecent exposure” – Really? How’s that then? Who’s doing that conditioning?
Much of the left-leaning press is fretting about us having to wait longer for a railway we don’t really want, don’t need and can’t afford.
The left-leaning ‘i’ newspaper gets a bit edgy: England will turn ‘brown and unpleasant’ – No, that’s not a poke at Rishi and Braverman and their ‘small boat‘ policy.
Speaking of which – does this mean illegal immigrants will hire ‘big boats‘ to get around the new legislation? Is that the built-in legal loop hole? What’s the precise displacement rule for a ‘small boat‘?
Hey Abdul, did you see the new British migrant law talks about banning ‘small boats’?
Don’t worry, Mohammad, haven’t you seen the movie Jaws? That line when Chief Brody sees the shark? Simples. “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” – but I digress.
That was in fact the ‘i’ newspaper’s Environment feature: England will turn ‘brown and unpleasant’ if 14 new reservoirs are not built – that’ll allow more drinking water for population expansion and give us all somewhere we can sail our ‘small boats‘
Luckily, Amol’s old outfit has the Mystic Meg (RIP) scoop…
“Emmanuel Macron to reject Sunak’s plan to solve small boats crisis”
“Emmanuel Macron to reject Sunak’s plan to solve small boats crisis”
Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather.
Perhaps when they see the colour of his money, so to speak?
Times: France to be paid £200m to stop boats ‘at source’
At source? Ooh la la! The sauce!
One more thing… hey, Times editor… you’ve put no size qualifier on your ‘boats’
Do we get a refund of all the other money we gave them to stop the boats ?. Javid rushed back from holiday one time in order to write them a cheque for several million to start using drones.
That worked well.
No wonder the Europeans laugh at us and want us back in the EU.
its beyond the wit of the french and european police and intelligence to be able to cut off the source of 50man rubber dingys
I mean they are available in every corner shop and literally produced by thousands of manufacturers and easily hidden in a suitcase
Kaiser – the enemy is never going to help us. Every third worlder transiting the EU to the land of ‘give me ‘ is a victory for them and damage for the UK taxpayer ….
It is inevitable that more draconian measures are taken – however as the British identity is diluted and foreigners get power – the country may just die – maybe 10 years ….
Times radio this morning reports that doctors (GPs) are under so much stress at work that ‘they are experiencing severe chest pains’.
BUT (points finger a la Steyn) …
Don’t you go thinking this has anything to do with the jabba-jabba, no, no, no.
I understand that a recent ‘culture secretary ‘ is now a broadcaster on ‘times radio ‘ … how does that work …?
Doesn’t happen here …. – no siree – no way.
Pretty dumb not to have the damn tweet – their politicians are as thick as ours ( I listened to jimmy cleverly – jeez – the Foreign Secretary avoiding how blue labour will deport 100s of thousands of illegals ) …
… I prefer a sink and swim policy … with added sharks …
The end of the video is tedious cos they don’t have the tweet to hand
However here it is and it’s speculation about whether someone’s death was caused by the vaccine
That does seem legal speech.
Lucky the White House does the job of BBCOFCOM in the states . My gut reaction is that the tweet is legal but breaches the pharma – twitter rule of criticism of the product ……
I’m sure the bbc fact checker will be after twitter for its ‘behaviour – or maybe she ll be too busy getting her Oscar …
Silly. Trips up the whole narrative.
They are so desperate to be first or get a sound bit they don’t pause to think through context or narrative arc.
They all do it. Currently the Left/Dems/BBC trying to spin them having total control over footage is compromised by people being able to see that what was filtered in and out made the claims pants is beyond daft.
If he had had the tweet to hand he could have brushed past it and got back to the claim.
By way of balance…
Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.
The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.
Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

There seem to be several inches of white global warming material on the ground today in the fine city of Sheffield.
It’s a white out here, and many roads have become blocked
cos some people don’t know how to drive in snow.
The weather is at odds with what the-iPaper predicts in its drought brown Britain article.
Deadly shooting at Hamburg Jehovah’s Witness hall
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64910415
Here we go : we have a green light for mutliple articles on the shooting as it looks like it was a whitey. We have 3 already.
But look at this line from the article – all on it’s own to make it stand out:
‘Jehovah’s Witnesses are members of a Christian-based religious movement.’
What relevance has that to the shooting ?. It’s pathetic schoolboy stuff in the extreme. It’s there for one single reason : to tell people it wasn’t Muslims.
Have they EVER pointed out any of the many, many murders by customers from Alans Snackbar were by Muslims ?. Never to my knowledge.
Here’s the Hamburg correspondent who wrote it:
And here’s her Londonistan based colleague (who has once again written an article worthy of my attention):
Pathetic BBC.
They are all quite lovely, aren’t they?
BBC policy?
They think so Guest.
BBC sexist discrimination.
Recently it was noted that BBC Pre School has embraced Tik Tok as a new dissemination platform.
https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/03/06/welch-tiktoks-war-on-the-west-and-why-were-still-losing-it/?
Figures.
The Jehovah’s Witness faith can be very divisive. Anyone leaving the faith can be shunned by all members, even by their own family.
I’ve known children who have decided to leave to be excluded by their own parents. In it’s way the Witness religion although one of peace can be just as extreme as Islam although violence isn’t in its remit.
Flotsam
J.W. faith? Not much different to the E.U. faith then. Both can turn nasty if you leave their club as we have found to our cost.
And so it begins. I urge everyone to watch at least the first half of this video as the banks begin to show signs of distress and investors pull their capital out.
JP Morgan lost over 5% of its share value yesterday Wells Fargo and Bank of America over 6%. Headline news in the FT is “Investors dump US bank shares amid fears over value of bond portfolios”.
Once these banks begin to go it will happen very fast, for those who don’t know this will mean you will lose all your money in the bank as they desperately try to restructure. This has happened before in Cyprus the banks put a limit on the number of withdrawals per month and a cap on the amount as well. The law has changed and you as a bank depositor will find your money used to prop up the bank.
And now the contageon spreads to Europe, headines in the FT:
“European bank stocks sell off sharply after steep falls in US”
Are we revisiting the crash of 2008 again?
Invest in dinghies!
Having money in the bank. Hmmm. Nope, not a reality I am familiar with.
Mae Muller our Eurovision entrant – I wasn’t sure she was a woman when I looked at the pictures but apparently she is. Of course her song is slagging of her ex because he done her wrong. Do women sing any other type of song? Grimly predictable crap. I won’t lose any sleep if this get nul points.
BBC shout “Fffffar Right” again
The replies massively ridicule the BBC
This one looks worth delving into further. Mr. Hiestand has been upfront… his critics less so. The BBC, vaguely alluding to ‘experts’, at least in the tweet.
Is the article news or is it PR ?
As ever the article is really based on PR from an org : Veryan Khan, of Trac (a woman cos it later calls her Ms)
then BBC look for an actual news event and put that at the top
The article begins with one guy in Baltimore who apparently hatched a plot with a woman
It makes a general statement
“Attacks against infrastructure are a long-standing obsession of far-right and white nationalist groups, and they are increasingly being discussed in extremist spaces online.”
Then it quotes
Veryan Khan, president and CEO of the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium (Trac)
.. That job title makes it seem like a ONE WOMAN org.
Does it give any more examples ?
“The North Carolina attack, in Moore County in early December, knocked out power to 35,000 people for several days.”
The article gives no evidence about who did it
It lists 2 more “Oregon and Washington state.”
Are they really far right ?
It says “the motive for most of the other attacks is unknown.”
It goes back to Baltimore case
#1 The man an woman criminals met in jail
How ? surely jails are single sex
#2 ” a person who they thought was a potential co-conspirator was actually an FBI source.”
Hmm in recent cases the Feds informers often seem to be Feds INSTIGATING stuff
It goes back to claim 2 more plots
Ohio “In 2020, five men, including three former US Marines, were indicted on weapons and conspiracy charges.
Authorities said they had plotted to attack the power grid during a meeting in Ohio.”
They don’t substantiate that this is FR
?? “The following year, three white nationalists pleaded guilty to plotting to attack power installations.”
It doesnt say who and where
Then it says Khan calls it “accelerationism”
An idea that you break today’s society in order to start a RESET
She said “It’s not exclusive to far-right groups, and does not necessarily involve violence, but it is used with particular motivational effect in white supremacist circle”
Then it quotes someone else “Bennett Clifford, of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University”
” tallied 11 cases of white nationalists arrested and charged in federal court with planning attacks on the energy sector after 2020.”
The obvious is that people can be charged YEARS after events so the relevant thing is the year when the crime happened
Secondly cases should only count when people have been CONVICTED cos arrests can be spurious.
Then it goes on to say there has been rising “chatter”
“Last summer a loosely organised white nationalist, eco-fascist group called Terrorgram issued a document called The Hard Reset. The BBC has obtained a copy.”
…. That seems code for “Ms Khan gave us a copy”
Secondly it’s strange a “HARD right” group wants to accelerate WEF policy
The article ends by stating a big number “170 attacks” and then back to Earth by saying that include all kind of petty vandalism etc.
Then says Deliberate attacks against the power grid are just one threat the authorities are focused on along with the possibility of cyber-attacks, natural disasters and *climate change*”
FFS if it’s part of a big list it’s NOT a focus !
That BBC article itself seems like “chatter”
That it and Ms Khan are doing mudslinging.
The “show me the bodies” rule applies, to test whether a thing has high impact
What is the body count in the article ?
ZERO, It lists no one who has died.
Oh the article is by Mike Wendling
You know, the main man at BBC Tr(uthB)ending
What that article tells me is that the BBC do not care one bit about what OFCOM think. They know full well they will not be challenged as long as they stick to the far-left agenda.
Greta says freeze and eat bugs biggots!
Vile and such things as free lunches.

The latest publication of MPs register of interests is out and Guido has the highlights. David Davis is the latest to add to Guido’s long list of MPs enjoying expenses-paid skiing trips. He jetted off to Austria for 8 days in February, in a trip worth £9,521 – funded by private donor Ian Hannam.
Britain’s former PMs have also been enjoying the perks of their status. Liz Truss cashed in £7,500 from Billionaire donor Johan Eliasch, Boris spent yet more time in the properties of the Bamfords and Theresa May took a £22,000 trip to Bahrain – part funded by their government. Liz also took her 15 minutes of fame further, as she lived it up with showbiz luvvies with a ticket to the BRIT awards, worth £1,300.
Andrew Bridgen has also received donations to the value of £7,900 from Reclaim the Media Ltd, trading under the Bad Law Project. The legal advocacy group, funded by Reclaim Party backer Sir Jeremy Hosking and with strong links to the party, is supporting Bridgen in libel action against Matt Hancock. It has also provided him meals, speech writing, counselling and social media consultancy. There had previously been speculation Bridgen might join the party, after they offered him public support…
Amongst the other new additions:
Labour MPs Rushanara Ali took a £4,700 trip to the UAE at their government’s expense.
Tory MPs raked in cash from GB News – Lee Anderson got £200 a week from November – February, Dehenna Davison got £1,879 and Phillip Davies brought home a stonking £10,000 for 13 episodes in January and February.
Not to be outdone, TalkTV also forked out. With Bim Afolami, Caroline Nokes and Alec Shelbrooke each receiving £300 an episode – for a combined £2,400.
Labour MPs also enjoy lucrative media arrangements of their own. David Lammy bought in £5,200 and Chris Bryant £1,000 from Global and Jess Phillips’ podcast netted her £5,000.
Guido would also like to give lefty MP Liam Byrne an honourable mention. Liam has long opposed the “shocking standards” of private landlords and has called for their regulation. He is now a private landlord.
Co-conspirators can read the register in full here.

Thank you for contacting us about BBC News.
I understand you feel we should cover alleged expenses abused by MPs.
We know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, or the order in which they appear. Our news editors make these complex decisions, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand. We accept that not everyone will agree with each decision – various factors are at play and there’s often debate in the newsroom too.
A range of factors affect how we put together our news bulletins. Is it breaking news, or a dated story? Does it follow on from a recent event, or change our understanding of things? Is it unusual, or attracting national interest? We consider these things and also put great importance on verifying events and building up a clear picture – before reporting in a reliable and trustworthy way.
Editorial decisions are more of a judgement call, than an exact science – so you’ll even find variety from one BBC programme to the next. Time constraints, the expected audience profile and the style of each bulletin or current affairs programme can all play a part.
Nevertheless, we appreciate the feedback that our viewers and listeners give us when they feel a story has been overlooked or marginalised.
All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we have included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly.

I said before , the then President was just positing what everyone should have been doing , if this pandemic was so serious .When you`re healthy , you dont even take an aspirin . When you`re ill or injured , you have to take measures , and the more serious your illness the more extreme the measures to be taken .
Would you eat rat poison ? Not if you`re sane and healthy – but millions of sane people , with the medical establishments blessing , eat rat poison every day .
Rat poison is Warfarin , which helps people with heart problems . It saves their lives .
People such as Donald Trump would theorise something that saves peoples lives . People such as Biden and the BBC would not and so would condemn people to death .
Good ol’ US of A at it again. Fermenting regime change :

Given the average age of a BBC expert correspondent is about 21, and mentally half that, one has to wonder that if they actually ask anyone expert in a field or, if they do, are savvy enough to ask some questions in case agenda is at play?

“By then, the policy will have been in place for a number of years and the rights of vulnerable people may already have been violated.”
Hopefully so.

Oh lord, just listened to Sunak’s speech, and I thought he would finish by giving Macron a slobbery kiss !! I laughed at the bit of “our countries have a good history”. How would he know what our history was ? his parents were migrants from India and I doubt that Sunak’s history lessons at school featured our chequered history with the French.

The UK will spend nearly half a billion pounds over the next three years to help fund a new detention centre in France, as part of a new deal agreed today between the PM and French President Emmanuel Macron. According to Number 10, the new detention centre will increase French detention capacity, meaning migrants who might otherwise try crossing the channel will be “removed from the French coast“:

What a bunch of shifty despicable turds the BBC are. They have obviously used their joined at the hip blood brothers at The Guardian to reveal that they have decided not to run Attenborough diatribe on global warming “because of a possible right-wing” backlash.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/mar/10/david-attenborough-bbc-wild-isles-episode-rightwing-backlash-fears
This is a schoolboy attempt to deflect the heat from the gobby crisp salesman they dole out money to like a monopoly board game.
They are mimicking the left wing tactics we are seeing used in the US, screaming “right-wing” terrorists to silence anyone who doesn’t think like themselves and accept their mantra.
Come on Sunak, wake up to what they are, the propaganda arm of the left. Let them do it with their own money, not the cash of people who see right through them and would never wish to fund them if it wasn’t by force.
To people like the BBC, anyone who is not full on left wing is now to be viewed as a potential dangerous right-wing terrorist.

Sorry Zephir.
You don’t see David Bellamy any more on TV because he’s dead. Mind you it doesn’t seem to stop some of the other BBC presenters and journalists.
It’s true he was embargoed by the BBC because he didn’t believe in MMGW. His wasn’t a silent protest either, he spoke out about it

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.

Mentioned before.
Of course it is.
But now the Graun has obliged the BBC can now Gary it.
Guardian quotes an unnamed BBC source: “‘lobbying groups that are desperately hanging on to their dinosaurian ways’ such as the farming and game industry would ‘kick off’ if the show had too political a message…”
Not to worry, those dinosaurian ways like, er… growing food in the ground will soon be replaced by something far better. Isn’t that right, ‘fearless, independent’ ($3.5m bung from the Gates Foundation) Guardian?

Ladies and Gentlemen and trolls
We seem to have a double victory – linaker is ‘stepping back ‘ and an episode of some tedious nature propaganda show done by the never dying Attenborough is being ‘shelved ‘ apparently because it is just green crap propaganda ….
Now I know that deceit is in the DNA of BBC BBCOFCOM so must be cautious in ‘announcements’.
But to me any airing of the bias of the BBC – and more importantly – the south coast invasion – is only a good thing – a means to our end .
The entire left wing backlash community is in total meltdown.
It. Is. Glorious.
Even Champion Ash is weighing in. Maybe Gaz was the one who has the videos?
The problem now is that anyone volunteering to step in to replace Lineker and co-presenters Ian Wright and now Alan Shearer who have both refused to appear tomorrow on MOTD will immediately be hounded as far right Toree supporters. Solution? Just show the highlights with the usual pitch side reporters but no studio presenters – might just work.
Bulldog – I wondered whether he would get the same level of support mark steyn got from the hypocrites – All of them – on what used to be GBNews – but is now a 4 minute rant by a weird Scotsman plus 7 days of dross ..
FED – Not sure these 2 situations are really comparable but yes, plenty of support for Lineker especially on SKY who had a succession of ex footballers, Labour and SNP politicians slagging off the beeb for being pro Government – excuse me while I larf. Lineker must have guessed, or was quickly informed, that all his co-presenters were backing him by not appearing. The beeb cannot afford to lose control of one of their flagship Saturday (and Sunday) footie programmes so will eventually cave – expect a statement soon saying they have come to a satisfactory conclusion with Lineker and he will be presenting MOTD tomorrow as usual – main result – Lineker 1 – BBC 0. Business as usual.
STOP PRESS – Just seen that the beeb have agreed with my earlier suggestion of showing the match highlights but without any studio participation – FED – are we allowed to actually praise the beeb on this website?
All this could easily have been avoided if he had gone the humble pie route a la Jeremy Clarkson by apologising if his comments had caused any offence and the beeb would probably have accepted this and the matter would have been closed. The trouble is the self important Lineker believes he is untouchable on his £1.35m of taxpayers money every year.
I have watched Saturday’s MOTD since the mid 60’s but will not be tuning in again should Lineker ever return as host, happy to make do with the Sunday show which has Saturday’s goals anyway. Mark Chapman usually presents on Sunday and would make an admirable replacement for Lineker.
Re your critique of GB News, agree it has many faults and some of the evening panel discussions frequently descend into shouting matches with the obligatory “lefty” as the stooge so one needs to dip in and out during the day to maintain interest but let’s be thankful for small mercies when we compare their overall output to the rest of the media.
Their ads grate though, is their CEO Welsh by any chance?

This is what right-wing demagogues have done through history.

Racism in China arises from Chinese history, nationalism, sinicization, and other factors. Racism in modern China has been documented in numerous situations. Ethnic tensions have led to numerous incidents in the country such as the Xinjiang conflict, the ongoing internment and state persecution of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities, the 2010 Tibetan language protest (a protest against the sinicization of Tibet), the 2020 Inner Mongolia protests and discrimination against Africans and people of African descent.

Abuse by the prolific sex offender Jimmy Savile on NHS premises has cost the health service £1.1m (€1.2m; $1.4m) in compensation and legal fees, after his estate contributed just over £53 000 towards these claims.
About £600 000 of the NHS’s contribution went on legal fees, and the remaining £500 000 was paid in damages to 52 victims, showed figures up to 31 October 2018 released under freedom of information laws.
Savile, a DJ and television presenter for the BBC who raised millions of pounds for charity, abused scores of victims over a 50 year period, but his crimes came to light only after his death at age 84
About £600 000 of the NHS’s contribution went on legal fees, and the remaining £500 000 was paid in damages to 52 victims,
£600 000 legal fees £500 000 was paid in damages to 52 victims,

About 3 billion paid out as compensation of NHS negligence per year – probably the same or more for fraud – theft …..
