    There is much outrage on the BBC and elsewhere over the Dalai Lama inviting a young boy to suck his tongue.

    Fun fact: guess who else liked to suck young boys’ tongues?
    Why, none other than Old Mo, the BBC’s favourite prophet.

    “I saw the prophet sucking on the tongue or the lips of Al-Hassan son of Ali, may the prayers of Allah be upon him. For no tongue or lips that the prophet sucked on will be tormented (by hell fire).”

    Buddhists believe in reincarnation. Jimmy Savile could come back as the Dalai Llama.
    Buddhist youngsters could have their prayers answered, Dalai Llama will fix it.

      The BBC opened a HYS on this interview – clearly intended for the Leftists audience to give Musk a good slagging.

      I made the comment:

      ‘Watch the full video and see the calibre of the modern BBC.
      How much are we forced to pay them ?.’

      And sure enough they deleted it !!!!.

      Their reason:
      ‘Are considered to be off-topic for the discussion or are derailing the discussion onto a different topic.’ which is a new one for me.

      The comment was absolutely relevant. They truly are dirty scumbags. This sums up the Left for me.

      They linked it to a twitter feed which was absolutely chock full of low IQ, nasty Leftist mob type comments.

      What a farce they have become.

        Classic BBC. They appear to have Mike Wendling as behind the throne shadow DG.

        Pure propaganda backed by censorship at levels way beyond what they presume to lecture others upon.

        Interesting quoted tweet on ITBB…

        https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2023/04/april-2023-open-thread.html#

        Sample:

        “Part of the reason Musk might have agreed was that just a few weeks ago, Marianna Spring – the BBC’s first specialist disinformation and social media correspondent – had put together a hatchet-job on Twitter under Musk’s management. Spring, like Clayton, has a job title befitting of the BBC’s new role in international broadcasting and global class woke moralising. Where, previously, journalists uncovered conspiracies, corruption, shady dealings or corporate malfeasance, the BBC’s new shiny role is to uncover opinions that don’t match its editorial lines and ensure they don’t get reported.“

        If OFCOM and dcms don’t see what is going on they are either thick or complicit.

      2015 ….

      Least we forget how it all works … videos, words, pictures … you don’t get to choose the arrangement …

      Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
      “… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
      -Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015

      Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.

      Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”

      Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
      “Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”

      1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
      2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version

      Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”

      Words, punctuation and pauses (Obama pauses a lot) have a price … Barack Obama’s $400,000 speaking fees reveal what few want to admit {theguardian may2017}

      “The reason many of us have been critical of Barack Obama’s outrageous $400,000 speaking fee is that it robs us of a fantasy: that sooner or later, the first black president was going to use his considerable powers, in or out of office, to help the economic ravages of the poor, who are disproportionately black.

      That Obama’s project was or ever would be racial and economic justice was always a dream – and the sooner we let go of this and recognize Obama for who he is and what he does, the better we’ll all be.

      Some people who disagree with me believe I am racist … I fantasized that he’d join us on the front lines of marches, battle for the salvation of Obamacare in ingenious ways, and maybe turn up at a Black Lives Matter event. But this was all a fantasy. …”

    “Former EastEnders star Billy Murray says grandchildren nearly kidnapped”

    “Mr Murray said the car was driven away quickly after his daughter’s partner shouted at them […] The force said the three men were described as being aged between mid 20s or mid 30s and all with short dark hair.”

    In the original video, Murray’s daughter described them as eastern European — details that make it to the local paper but the BBC decide to leave out. In my bit of London, black Audis and Mercedes with tinted windows driven by identical looking men have become commonplace in the last 2/3 yrs. Noticing this probably constitutes a hate crime.

      I think the only disinformation in those documents would be decoys to wrong-step the Russians.

      But that is ‘good misinformation’ and hence doesn’t count.

      I tried again to find some video of the actual fighting in Ukraine and once again I was amazed at just how tightly the whole internet is sown up by the West. Every single one is a heavily edited ‘Ukraine are winning’ piece – many showing the same old video released by the Ukrainian government. They all have some loud music accompanied by library clips of planes taking off or whatever then the thing they ‘claim’ to be showing is a 10 second blurry clip in the middle which proves nothing. They are ALL Ukraine winning.

      I have to admit I am finding it interesting to live through a full-blown Western media/government propaganda campaign whilst having a backdoor to the truth via the internet. It’s absolutely astonishing how much we are being misled by the BBC AND our government.

      It makes me realise just how far away from being ‘free’ we really are in the UK. We are absolutely conditioned through society these days and it’s getting a lot worse. Not much different in principle to how Muslims are forced to eat at Alans Snackbar.

          A few years ago I was sat next to an ex-SAS mercenary on his way home from Syria. I asked him who were the worst between the USA and Russia. I expected him to say Russia but to my surprise he said they are about the same.

          I didn’t quite believe him until this war in Ukraine – and especially after they blew up the Nord stream pipeline just before winter.

          At least with Putin what you see is what you get. The USA are now bullying other countries to join in this proxy war and I don’t even trust my own government one bit to tell me the truth.

          The BBC are on their own planet now. This is the perfect situation for them to use all their ways of lying (by omission, by inference etc etc) and all of their Ukraine content is now worthless.

    It could be my pc and/or internet, but the bbc have made the full Musk car crash available to watch. About five minutes in, the audio suddenly becomes incredibly loud and distorted. I’ve re-loaded it; still the same. Are they really so childish that they would purposely introduce a “technical error” the minute the interview gets interesting (I.e. not going their way)?
    I’d welcome comments from more tech-savvy contributors. It could just be my set-up, but deliberate nastiness doesn’t seem unlikely.

    I wonder if this story will make it to the BBC headlines, reported in the Telegraph today. It’s a good one.

    Someone has been doing some digging into the 2021 census data.
    It turns out that in areas where there is ahem a high level of poor English speaking e.g. certain London boroughs like Newham and Brent, there is…..wait for it…….FIVE times more transgender people than the average. This includes 1 in 67 Muslims!!!!! Are 1.5% of Muslims trans? Really?

    The suggestion is that the census transgender question, whose wording the authorities shamefully delegated to, guess who, Stonewall, was so grammatically complicated (‘is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth’) that many respondents were so confused they ticked the wrong box. This sounds highly plausible.

    Is it possible Stonewall guessed this? And thus arranged for a falsely higher transgender population to be identified, which would then support all the campaigning?

    Answers please on a postcard. In simple English.

      With a special link provided by the the UK Government for special names such as Muhammad, Mohammed and Mohammad (other names not so special)

      We do not have a definitive answer for why the variations of the name Muhammad have generally risen up the rankings over time, but there are some possible explanations.
      1. The increasing size of the Muslim community in England and Wales
      2. The dominance of the name in the Muslim community combined with increased diversity in names for baby boys
      3. The possible increased dominance of the name in the Muslim community
      4. The possible effect of popular sporting figures with the names Muhammad and Mohamed

      The term such as ‘increased dominance‘ is odd, when in maths you could use the term ‘increased occurrence’ instead.

      dominance – power and influence over others
      occurrence – the fact or frequency of something happening

      Words do have meanings and some are more emotive than others.

    We tell you why, sort of edition

    There’s an oft quoted saying that goes “the first as tragedy, then as farce” – that was Mr Karl Marx on France’s two Napoleons, I believe.

    I’m reminded of our pair of publicly funded national TV broadcasters – BBC and Channel 4 – particularly when considering the lastest bad taste offering from the junior entity.

    C4 has its friends however.

    Six reasons why the privatisation of Channel 4 is a bad idea (Screen Industries Network)

    Number One reason: Cultural impact – Channel 4 (C4) makes programmes other channels don’t. They do this because of their public service function and to fill niches other broadcasters can’t or won’t… A more profit driven organisation is very unlikely to have the impact on our culture that Channel 4 currently does.

    I don’t know about your TV aerial but my cultural antenna starts to twitch at that last statement. Frankly I don’t particularly want my culture impacted, thank you very much.

    But we get the point that Channel 4 goes where other channels may fear to tread… and that’s a good thing?

    Naked fury! Flood of complaints at nude TV show with kids… Channel 4’s Naked Education aims to promote body positivity and ‘educate the nation’… naked adults strip in a ‘classroom’ has caused nearly 1,000 complaints from furious viewers (giveaway Metro) – C4 getting a frontpage publicity splash from the corporate advertiser Metro – there’s an irony there somewhere – but what’s the betting Ofcom decide the complaining audience are all uptight bigots and they can simply turn off – afterall, this isn’t a Jeremy Clarkson or indeed a GB News Mark Steyn who jollywell need a good banning.

    Tragedy, then as farce? Or farce first and tragedy second?

    One recalls the Monty Python BBC broadcast sketch with John Cleese as the stern schoolmaster giving a sex education lesson way back in the 1970s(?) Cleese at the front of the class beside a bed calls a woman into the room and cautions his schoolboys “Do concentrate class, I’m doing this for your benefit“. That’s what they call a farce. We could laught at that. What Channel 4 are now up to is the tragedy.

    I won’t bore you with the five further reasons proposed as counter argument for privatising Channel 4. Suffice to say ‘diversity’ is mentioned and meanwhile our limp-wristed Tories appear to have whimped out of doing anything about privatisation.

    The numbering of argument points is a rhetorical device rather than a science.

    Six things we learned from Elon Musk interview (BBC)

    Elon Musk 9 things we’ve learnt about tech titan (Times)

    Do we draw the conclusion that our BBC are slower or less attentive learners than the Times? The answer my friends perhaps lies in the BBC edit suite, the cutting room floor thereof.

    We’re only too accustomed to media-driven enviromental panics. The jokey Daily Star this morning cements its place at rock bottom of the BBC online press line up pile with a fine skit on the genre.

    Worst shortage ever… Now we are running out of penguins… and we need Pingu poo to save the planet! Penguins are in peril and a shortage of their poo means trouble for the planet, say enviro boffins. We tell you why inside. Sort of.

      This is the third in our series about four well-known men whose purposeful social engineering over the years has undermined national democracies and economies, and created fertile ground for the final realisation of their post democracy dream of a global socialist/fascist world, controlled by supranational organisations such as the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and of course, themselves. They are George Soros (you can read Tuesday’s article here), Klaus Schwab (yesterday’s article is here), Bill Gates (today) and David Attenborough.

      BILL Gates has a messiah complex. His obsession with ‘climate change’, vaccines and people control is proving dangerous for the world. Only a few weeks ago he gave voice to his latest megalomaniac plan for a global pandemic prison state. And as the past proves, what Gates wants he usually gets.

      While the Irish Nationalists will understand that dopey Joe is old and probably suffering from a degree of dementia. I can’t see anyone in Ireland laughing about it, such is the historic sensitivity of the Black and Tans.

    Eight serving and former Metropolitan Police officers have been found guilty of gross misconduct over offensive messages shared in a WhatsApp group.

    The “discriminatory and offensive” messages included some that made fun of Katie Price’s disabled son.

    The problem the BBC has with Elon Musk is that he’s a businessman. The BBC does not understand business or businessman. Money, after all, comes from extorting cash from the public, old age pensioners etc in exchange for Government and BBC propaganda

      Trusted News Initiative led by BBC News contributed to 2 Million Excess Deaths across the West by enforcing Censorship of the Dangers of COVID Vaccination
      BY THE EXPOSÉ ON APRIL 13, 2023 • ( 4 COMMENTS )

      The public was fed only information that the Ministry deemed to be “true,” but this often meant that important and potentially life-saving information was withheld.

      This led to the tragic and unnecessary loss of millions of lives due to the Covid-19 injections.

        This was planned. The virus was invented as the cover story for the coming financial reset. There is no SARS-CoV-2. The injection is merely the start. They need to get these things into 7 billion bodies and they won’t stop until someone or something stops them. The next fake virus is coming and the next time it will be far more serious. They will use the vaccine damaged and vaccine murdered as the cover for the ‘Marburg’ virus or avian flu or which ever fake virus they claim is circulating. Unfortunately billions will believe it. They will also use 5G to facilitate the attack as the Graphene Oxide in the body will amplify the signal and cause significant damage in the tissue.

    So we have Elon Musk looking at Twitter links with the BBC’s Trusted News Initiative. I presume Elon Musk is providing insider information to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his antitrust lawsuit against the BBC’s Trusted News Initiative.

    The purpose of the BBC’s Trusted News Initiative is to rewrite history to change the facts to fit Global doctrine. For example, “truth” is understood to mean statements like, two plus two equals five, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. And most important of all, the mRNA Jab is “Safe & Effective”

    The BBC’s Trusted News Initiative labelled anything that damaged the profits of Big Pharma as misinformation. So cheap early effective treatments such as Ivermectin were labelled misinformation, and the existence of the vaccine injured was also labelled misinformation. Doctors treating real people & Scientists using real data were censored by the BBC’s Trusted News Initiative, because reality did not comply with Government propaganda & international authority.

        As Mare Khan claims to be a ‘lawyer’, he should really be under some sort of pressure to understand why most normal citizens agree with councils which don’t want his Khan Piggy Bank machines!

        As someone who’ll never pay a penny towards his extravagant personal driving lifestyle, I ‘m sure his stupid ideas will backfire on him, and let’s hope the sound and shockwave come from a filthy great diesel lorry while he’s climbing down from his armoured staff-car gas guzzler!

    .. Political greens love magical thinking
    there are reasons why the real world is different, and that big farming corps don’t use these methods
    Dreams are not the same as reality.

    In another item their Climate champion the weather woman Laura Tobin had FLOWN to French Guiana to do a live report from the Jupiter satellite launch
    There was no actual news, cos rain had stopped the launch.

      GW
      ‘When there is no news, rely on the BBC’.
      And what a timely remark.

      At around 0740 on Toady this morning there was a very long feature with two interviewees.

      The topic? A ‘TV’ series on a streaming channel (Netflix? Amazon Prime? Not sure) about the emergence of England as a country around the time of Alfred the Great. But think Game of Thrones rather than GCSE History.

      Who says the BBC don’t do advertising?

      Has the BBC been using licence fee money to invest in certain American media corporations? I think we should be told.

    I think I will start a conspiracy theory . Try this – as the BBC reports an increased number of ‘unexplained deaths ‘ during and after the medical £ mafia go on strike ( don’t forget to clap ).
    Yet the government go to the ACAS ‘table ‘ to resolve such a vital service strike …

    … so maybe they are using the various NHS strikes as a smokescreen for the vaccines continuing to kill people off .

    It would be sort of informative to know a bit about the unexplained dead – such as ‘ pre existing conditions ‘ or age or whatever … but I guess poor tax payers will never get these.

    The 35% doctors are playing Russian roulette with the public because sooner of later something big will happen and they’ll be on holiday – at a wedding. – like their union boss
