It is the Curry Nation Weekend. You know it makes sense to cancel your TellyTax especially if, during the Coronation coverage, you are upset by the repuBBliCan BBC State Broadcaster.
Whatever …. enjoy your extra day off!
Stopped mine a long time ago and saved quite a bit of Dosh!
taffman, #Me Too, I have already been upset by the BBC’s choice of presenters for TOADY so the off switch has already been activated. Electricity and emissions savings; King Charles III would approve.
Oh, I forgot to add to my Weekend topping post a hearty “God Save the King.”. He needs saving, in many senses of that word.
The UN Declaration of Human Rights 1948 has article 12 in it which states that no man can have his reputation impugned if he is innocent.
Britain lead the way to making that treaty and signed up to it .
So why are the Powers That Be allowing that treaty to be broken but careful to abide by any treaty which is outdated and harms the British people ?
I’m thinking of course about the BBC threatograms which start their accusations on the outside of the envelopes.
Do you know, Nibor, that I haven’t received any monthly love letters from Crapita for some time. I feel sort of unwanted, sort of unloved ….. 🙁
“Save BBC local radio”
.. Hmm it’s gone downhill a lot
My teeth grind as Radio Humberside staff based in Hull mispronounce half the names of places in northern Lincolnshire and Scunthorpe.
A Scunthorpe Asian guy was parachuted into a job as a reporter
today I spot someone on Twitter chastising him for tweeting the name of the village he was reporting on wrong
It’s only a few miles from his urban base
he deleted the wrong name tweet
BBC Slammed Over Coronation Coverage Blackout For Other Broadcasters.
Defund the BBC, NOW!
“Shame on them!” Quite right!
GB News has the text of that joint statement:
https://www.gbnews.com/royal/bbc-coronation-tv-blackout
“The decision to charge UK media companies an excessive commercial fee (with no visibility of true costs) seems perverse when the BBC is allowing foreign publishers and broadcasters the same footage for free.
“These foreign broadcasters and publishers will be allowed to stream or broadcast footage in the UK despite restrictions on UK media.”
“The hashtag #DefundTheBBC even began trending on Twitter as politicians, celebrities and viewers of GB News, Talk TV and other UK broadcasters united to blast the corporation over their stance.”
Quotes:
“We should defund the BBC, now more than ever. Arrogant, childish behaviour.” – Baroness Foster.
“Disgraceful but hardly unsurprising behaviour from them.” – Peter C. Barnes (political commentator).
After all that slamming and shaming, the BBC backtracked and capitulated at the eleventh hour. Honestly, they can’t be defunded soon enough!
I can understand it had to be one broadcaster that had to set up the cameras and sound system at some cost. But who allowed the BBC an exclusive on the event without specifying a reasonable cost for other broadcasters?
The present government?
Looks like GB News will have to set up a TV tuned to the BBC with a camera pointed at it to capture the Coronation
“BBC Slammed Over Coronation Coverage Blackout For Other Broadcasters”
It won’t be a total, “Blackout” surely? Time the BBC cameramen get going with the cameras, focussing on the blacks in the crowd, it’ll disprove that assertion!
Local elections 2023: Labour eyes power after crushing Tory losses
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65503082#comments
The topics the BBC open for HYS these days are so biased for their agenda, it’s simply ridiculous.
They show just how far Left the BBC (and thus the people it appeals to) has really gone and I wish I could take those people who try to claim the BBC is not biased and rub their noses in these comments.
Top comments:
‘Seeing the Tories getting absolutely smashed has made my day’
620 up votes. 59 down votes.
‘I can’t get my head round how more than 2000 Tory councillors get elected.’
297 up votes. 33 down votes.
‘This is what happens if you keep insisting on Brexit, biggest self harm a country can commit’
180 up votes. 48 down votes.
This kind of thing should set alarm bells ringing all over OFCOM.
I also notice that many of the first replies to these comments have been removed by the BBC. No doubt because they countered the first comment and the BBC didn’t like it so removed them to avoid offending the OP.
They are entirely unrepresentative of the British population who are forced to fund them. It’s an absolute farce.
The BBC and OFCOM need total reform. They are now completely unfit for purpose.

I was trying to find out how many blue labour councillors lost their seat but it still seems unclear …. At least 1000..? When councils go woke they go broke
But….
My eye was caught by a BBC website feature on ‘how to avoid the coronation ‘ …. Which featured a rare Getty images picture of 5 whitees at a ‘barbecue’….
WTF? Every Getty image the bbc put up has at least one coloured type – very often they all are . Yet this picture . Is the BBC saying all coloured folk are royalists ?
Somehow I think a large number of third worlders here have no clue of the coronation and could care less about such things ….
…..for those ‘engaging ‘with this ceremony and this king – have a nice day …. Same for those ( like me ) who will be doing their normal chores ….
Look, I know we live in a “multicultural” country these days…everybody keeps reminding me…
It’s evident in every TV commercial…sporting event…TV ‘tec drama…historical fiction…and it has even inveigled its way into historical fact…I’m thinking Anne Boleyn to name but one…
However, looking at GB News this morning and glancing the length and breadth of The Mall, I’m left with the immortal words of former Channel 4 front man, Jon Snow, ringing in my ears like a cultural tinnitus.
“I’ve never seen so many white people in one place…”
People have travelled from across the country and beyond to camp out in St James’s Park, just to get a glimpse of the King and the royal procession. London is the most “diverse and enriched” capital city on God’s Earth and Brixton is only a twenty minute bus ride way. And yet…
Enjoy the coronation.
Time to come up with a quote from a King, Martin Luther King: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
2 minutes into the bbc coronation rant we have them banging on about uk rich diversity ffs
Zephir
Before long it will be banging on about unisex and trans .
A simple answer ? Scrap the outfit, but remember , commercial broadcasters are equally guilty. Perhaps the blame lays with OFCOM?
I do wonder about the choice of name of Charles, i am more inclined towards conspiracy the more i see around the world now.
Charles is an odd choice considering the previous two, maybe those who really run the world told E2 this is the last one….

You have to have certain times when you just turn off LBC, and the Lammy slot never gets a listen Chez Scrobs!
I’m in danger of enjoying James O’Brien’s programme sometimes though, as at least he is entertaining and courteous, (mostly), and also quite factual when giving blue labour a kicking, which is richly deserved these days!

And another short, basic facts only report by the BBC. Because they don’t care. It’s obviously just another black teenager murdering another black teenager and it’s of no value to the agenda at all.

Ah my londonistan borough – and time of killing accords with my theory that the time between 3pm and 5pm weekdays – after the ferals are released from ‘school ‘ is now the most dangerous time – no longer after pubs close ….

Last week I described how my 92 year old deaf neighbour had been conned out of £1500 … well the fraudsters are still trying again ….
Off switch now as bbc has laid it bare, its a bbc blackfest with the odd black asian thrown into the mix.
Diversity ? like the 6.2 million “other white” , or Asian Chinese etc, sod off no, just blacks

The relationship between the Palace and the BBC …
From the Giardian ( really)
STARTS
The BBC has allowed Buckingham Palace to veto what footage it can use in its coronation coverage, raising questions about the national broadcaster’s impartiality in relation to the monarchy.
In recent days the BBC has submitted material to the palace for approval in royal-themed programming, only for Buckingham Palace to declare certain pieces could not be used, according to individuals with knowledge of the situation.
“The balance of the power is a little bit more with the royal household than the BBC at the moment,” said one source at the broadcaster, who said negotiations over the terms of the BBC’s coronation coverage were still ongoing just hours before proceedings were due to begin.
The BBC is leading global coverage of the event, with its footage of King Charles in Westminster Abbey to be shared with other news channels around the world. This has led to fears at rival broadcasters that they have to trust the BBC’s editorial calls over what can be shown during the formal church service.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We are focused on delivering great coverage and don’t recognise any characterisation that suggests we ever compromise our editorial integrity on any of our output.”
The BBC’s coronation coverage is being run by Claire Popplewell, who oversees royal events for the corporation. Earlier this year she was made a commander of the Royal Victorian Order by the king in recognition of her work producing the BBC’s coverage of his mother’s platinum jubilee.
Membership of the Royal Victorian Order is given to those who have served the monarch. Unlike most other honours, which are awarded on the recommendation of the government, recipients of this award are personally selected by the sovereign.
Popplewell, who was described by a BBC source as “currently one of the most powerful people within the BBC”, helps manage the broadcaster’s relationship with the palace.
To confuse matters, she is employed by the corporation’s for-profit BBC Studios commercial arm. This had led to a split between the BBC’s public service news division, which has a more stringent editorial code, and the BBC Studios team who are producing the coverage that will go out on BBC One.
This is not the first time the BBC has allowed the palace to have control over royal footage. The Guardian has previously revealed how the palace vetoed particular pieces of footage from Queen Elizabeth II’s memorial services, banning them from being reused in news reports and social media clips.
Royal staff had a WhatsApp group during the proceedings in which senior executives from the BBC, ITV and Sky News were told which footage could be used. A member of the royal household would send a message every five minutes, either approving or refusing the use of the previous block of video.
After the funeral had finished the broadcasters were allowed to submit an hour-long tape of highlights which they could reuse in future, with use of any other material requiring signoff from the palace.
The veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby, who took part in the BBC’s coverage of the queen’s funeral, later confirmed the story. In an appearance at the Henley literary festival he described being surprised by the “degree of control” exercised by Buckingham Palace over the footage of the funeral.
“There was this complete list of things that no broadcaster could show because the copyright belongs to Buckingham Palace. I think that’s wrong, just wrong. It’s just interesting how tightly controlled monarchy is.”
He also suggested that topics such as the royals’ tax affairs are “never touched by the BBC because I think they feel their viewers will not like it”.
The National Union of Journalists this week passed a motion raising concerns about the palace’s veto over royal footage. They express concerns “that a public event, paid for by the people and televised for them to be able to pay their respects should be censored in even a small way”.
It came as the BBC found itself in a last-minute standoff over the “restricting” of British news outlets’ ability to access footage by charging high fees.
The corporation’s decision to charge media companies for what the industry calls pool footage was decried as “perverse” by its rivals, who said it would stop the public from witnessing key moments of the historic day.
A statement from the newspaper industry body News Media Association said: “Given the historic significance of the occasion, all efforts should have been made by the BBC to ensure that the footage, which is created using licence fee-payer money, is distributed as widely as possible to allow UK citizens to witness this event, and the BBC has not fulfilled this obligation.
“The decision to charge UK media companies an excessive commercial fee (with no visibility of true costs) seems perverse when the BBC is allowing foreign publishers and broadcasters the same footage for free.”ENDS
‘Fight after Russian snatches Ukranian MP’s flag’
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-65493246
Possibly the most misleading headline of the week from the BBC here.
The Ukranian unfurled it behind the Russian as he was being interviewed. The Russian grabbed it and walked away. The Ukranian chased after him and started punching him.
Just imagine the BBC headline if it were the other way round.
Unfortunately wife wants to watch bbc, there is ONE black man in the choir currently performing at the Abbey we have seen him six bloody times in close up so far.
Racist bastards
Like that black woman with the union jack around her shoulders at the Queens funeral who kept appearing somewhere in the video. Very very obviously a BBC plant. She also just happened to be walking past the coffin for the BBC news clip.
Dirty and dishonest.

My radio has been on from when I woke and now I’m watching the TV. I keep being reminded that we live in a very different world from 1953. Always with the implication that it was horrible back then and it’s so great now.
In 1953, it was unimaginable, said the overexcitable Simon Schama, that London could have a Muslim mayor and Britain could have a Hindu prime minister.
Alas, in 2023, I find it impossible to imagine London and Britain ever being truly British again.
Ah yes, the Coronation in 1953, when I was a mere youngster. The hospitals were packed with folk who had ignored health and safety warnings at street parties. But then my memory is not what it used to be.
Well done BBC, an income of £5bn a year and they’ve got a dodgy connection in their sound setup whenever the Welshman is speaking.
Does the BBC have a dedicated Loser Editor assigned, or will any do?

First time I’ve watched the BBC for a while and I have to say it was every bit as bad as I imagined. There were a couple of coloured choirboys, and the camera appeared drawn to them as surely as light to a black hole with them and only them being featured as close ups, and I have no objection to them being there, just the BBC infatuation with them being somehow an Ubermenschen.
The Black Gospel choir were amazing, really really good, but I couldn’t help feel I was being preached to, that they weren’t there because of how good they are but because of the colour of their skin and racial background. I’d like to see more of them, but without the political angle being forced on me.
But the whole thing seemed bland without context in history and rushed, not to mention the breaking of the promises made over Camilla, we can but hope that William gets it right next time.
T,
“The Black Gospel choir were amazing, really really good, but I couldn’t help feel I was being preached to, that they weren’t there because of how good they are but because of the colour of their skin and racial background. I’d like to see more of them, but without the political angle being forced on me.”
So, what you are saying then, is, they are, “Hideously Black”.
So glad I’ve not got a TV Licence, even then, I would not have been drawn to the spectacle even for a fee.
Oh gawd, the BBC has David Olusoga commenting in the studio.
He’s just said only one percent of the population has seen this (a coronation) before. What rubbish.
Never saw Harry in the procession. Has he taken the bus to the airport and gone?
Is this a fake?
Very inclusive including the IS ambassador… and the king of the taliban _. Was it any good ? I’ve been planting geraniums…
1st answer.
That photo looks fake to me. I have met the Mayor’s wife and she was not dressed like that.

Maybe that was one of his other wives. 🥇🎯😀
Yeah surely fake – maybe real for the next king bash – William the 113th
I know the point of this site is to keep up with what rubbish the BBC is outputting, but today you should watch on GB News with commentary led by Nigel Farage and David Starkey. It

EU censorship

On Tuesday this week, the European Commission announced its first list of designated Very Large Online Platforms – or VLOPs – that will be subject to “content moderation” requirements and obligations to combat “disinformation” under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). As VLOPs, the designated services will be required “to assess and mitigate their systemic risks and to provide robust content moderation tools.”
Or as a subheading in the Commission announcement pithily puts it: “More diligent content moderation, less disinformation.”
Pretty thought provoking if American:

All of a sudden ,we heard a commotion not far away and a crowd had gathered !
I went over with my dad and saw a man beating his wife and shouting a lot in an incomprehensible language .
Luckily , a policeman was passing and drew his truncheon and tried to calm things down but the angry guy managed to get the coppers truncheon off him and start to beat the policemen with his own truncheon …THEN , believe it or not , a crocodile came along and ate all the sausages.
And I bet the sausages weren’t even vegan!
