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.
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.

“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?
“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!
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.

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 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
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.

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.
Apparantly this thing is something of a bargain, and completely off topic save for those who wish to go camping, or perhaps make sure they can boil some water if and when the lights go out.
Thoughtful – thanks for the post – I used jetboil when it first started but they pumped the cost up to insanity ….even the plastic base thing costs about £10 …
So I’ve got the other one but not field tested it yet …the . Portilo SW coast path thing keeps being repeated on C5 so it prompts me to get out again ….I’ve got so much kit …
And – as you say – even if an in doors type – if you use power you’ll wish you had one of these…
Was that lady who only dresses up to get on the BBC there?
At least the QT panel is assured…

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.
“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.

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.
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
s so much better.
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.”
If some catastrophe occurred at Westminster today such as a meteorite strike or a terrorist massacre and all the Royals were wiped out we might find that Meghan was the next in line.

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.

G, thanks for putting that up. Very interesting and not in a Rowan & Martin way. His Nine Point resistance plan could have a tenth item added, in my view; ‘Ensure your life & salvation and that of your family is firmly in God’s hands.’.

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?

Apparantly this thing is something of a bargain, and completely off topic save for those who wish to go camping, or perhaps make sure they can boil some water if and when the lights go out.
Thoughtful – thanks for the post – I used jetboil when it first started but they pumped the cost up to insanity ….even the plastic base thing costs about £10 …

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.

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
https://brownstone.org/articles/vlops-eu-extends-censorship-powers/
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:

I hate what this country has become, although…
I was on Blackpool beach back in the 70s when I was a kid .
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!
