BBC gutted that bad man Trump isn’t jailed.
Pity they never got as interested in the disgusting sex stuff going on under their own roof…
Nobody in the bbc ever got the slightest little slap for allowing all that disgraceful behaviour, and doing absolutely nothing about it!
How about building a statue of Jimmy Savile in the forecourt of New Broadcasting House?
They prefer to indulge their fantasies about what may have, but probably didn’t, occur 30 years ago but when it comes to reporting about what is happening in plain sight today the gutless/gutted BBC will be absent:

The BBC so wanted to keep the ‘republic ‘ protest story going . But there is a better sweet in the shop . The fitting up of president trump from a civil allegation in the mid 1990s….
So they get frank Lunz- the ‘pollster’ to have a chat with the bee lady and basically allowing him to rant on about the ‘unapproved ‘ non democrats .
I think he sounded like he just wanted them to no longer exist – people who support President Trump . Lunz should be ashamed and the lack of challenge is the regular shame of the ‘unbiased ‘ BBC .
I just listen out of duty now –

Good morning. There’s a big story from the US as Donald Trump is found legally responsible for a sexual assault for the first time.
E Jean Carroll
Jury finds Trump sexually abused writer in New York store
“This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed.” This is what E Jean Carroll said after a jury in a civil case found she had been sexually abused by Donald Trump in the 1990s. The jury also found the former US president liable for defamation for calling the magazine columnist’s accusations “a hoax and a lie”. He was not found liable for rape. Mr Trump denied the accusations and did not attend the two-week trial. He plans to appeal and he will not be required to register as a sex offender because the trial was not in a criminal court. Mr Trump was ordered to pay Ms Carroll about $5m (£4m) in damages.
What does it mean for his presidential bid?

So… Shakespearen in legal terms.
Second, ignore all the propagandists.
There was an interesting piece by Matthew Parris of all people in the Times a couple of weeks back.
He was talking about Dominic Raab and pointed out that no single allegation against him was really proved but he was forced to resign anyway.
Parris argued that increasingly people are being charged on the basis of what they may be like, and not for what they have actually done.
Since what Trump may or may not have done in a department store nearly 30 years ago obviously cannot be proved one way or the other, are we seeing here another example of the Parris/Raab hypothesis? The New Yorkers don’t like Trump and don’t like what he is like so they find him guilty irrespective of any actual evidence about a particular incident.
Expect more of this as the illiberal woke left the BBC likes to support (coronation protestors still on the main news) continue to tell us what is acceptable.
In his deposition for the Jones lawsuit, Clinton denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Based on the evidence—a blue dress with Clinton’s semen that Lewinsky provided—Starr concluded that the president’s sworn testimony was false and perjurious.
BBC received £4 million of emergency UK government funding “To Counter Russian Propaganda” at the beginning of the Ukraine – Russian conflict despite the fact that the UK government banned all access including internet access to Russian state media. In the last budget I heard the BBC got an additional £20 million of UK government funding “To Counter Russian Propaganda”.
So from the BBC we now have wall to wall “Eurovision Song Contest” which has been turned into “Support Ukraine – Russia is Evil” Anglo American – NATO – EUrovision Song Contest.
A couple of weeks ago one of the Talk Radio ‘Doctor Bulls…’ was, in all seriousness, claiming that Eurovision represented everything that was good in the world today!!!
‘Free media’ icon BBC gets £4.1 million emergency funding from government to counter Russian ‘propaganda’

I have noticed that the BBC have greatly reduced their previous policy of embedding twitter posts in their “news” articles.
I had heard before this that BBC had some sort of falling out with Elon Musks twitter, where Elon Musk had for a short period of time labelled the BBC as “British State Media”. The BBC objected angrily and it was changed to “Public State Media” or something, and the BBC continued to object, and I think that Musk’s twitter no longer labels it as State Media.
Anyway the BBC have definitely significantly lowered its use of Twitter in the BBC reports it publishes on its website.
Remaining staff using it still blocking, to maintain trust and transparency when being anything but impartial or accurate?
“Stop the boats”!

Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-63229010
….
Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

Guardian masterclass in how to fix headline and information so that it says what you want it to mean and supports your own prejudices,
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/10/uk-tops-list-for-fossil-fuel-sites-in-nature-protected-areas
Guardian…. Maybe we just have a shitload more “protected sites” per square mile crammed onto our small islands than probably any other country on earth because we have had many more quangos and pseudo green groups pushing for them?
So the headline could have been “the UK has many more nature protected areas than other countries blah, blah, blah….
I believe it’s called false equivalence and should have no place in a real journalists toolbox.
Digg
“protected sites” for quangos … I’m happy that Natural England et al’s proposal to restrict public access to all seashores from the Thames to the Severn Estuaries didn’t get sufficient inertia to proceed some 6 or 7 years ago.
The Guardian – the usual trivial rehashing of activist flatulence.
I see they try to diminish China’s prominent place in the the CO2 producer league.
I wonder if anyone bothered to ask the question…..”which was there first – the fossil fuel site, or the protected area ?”
It would seem kinda relevant to me.
“MPs will consider later whether an inquiry is needed into how protests at the King’s Coronation were policed.”
Picture a scene when the watching crowd turns and attacks the protesters, or the military horses (a lot of them) are spooked and stampede into a crowd including children ?

Longer lorries to be allowed on Britain’s roads
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65533993
To counter the argument the bBC comes up with “It comes despite one campaign group warning the move could put pedestrians and cyclists at risk”
Its the best they can come up with, probably asked a bloke down the pub what he thought
However, a spokesman for the Road Haulage Association urged the government to go further by increasing the permitted weight to 48 tonnes.
“This will be increasingly important when we roll out zero-emission trucks to compensate for the increased weight from batteries,” he said.
The corners won’t allow for the length of the lorries and the roads will, no doubt, not take the extra weight.
Meat and drink to me , as a lorry driver and one who used to run lorries all over Europe .
Just ignore the Road Haulage Association and the even worse Freight Transport Association now called Logistics UK .
They are manned by an admin class who can move from one trade or pressure group to another and know nothing about running a trucking company .
Why would a trade association advocate policies that would reduce the earnings of the very trade it says it speaks for ? Or even reduce the amount of it`s members ?
Its like a punch drunk boxer going masochistic . As usual from them .
So sweet. Bet there will be a rash of new signs.

The Russian Ambassador to Poland was stopped from laying flowers to commemorate the victory over the Nazis. Considering the loss of lives by the Russians including the rest of the Soviet countries and ironically Ukranian soldiers, in liberating Poland from Nazi Germany including many of the concentration camps, I find it difficult to understand the mentality of the Poles over this issue. The communist takeover of Poland after the war is neither here nor there when it comes to commemorating the dead of WW2.
https://sonar21.com/those-who-do-not-learn-history-are-doomed-to-repeat-it/
If Stalin had not made a pact with Hitler there would have been no WWII. And if Stalin had not attacked Poland from the east, the Poles might have been able to resist the German invasion. The Soviet conquest of Poland led to 40 years of Communist oppression. The Poles have nothing to be grateful for when it comes to the Russians.
Tell that to the survivors of the concentration camps, what’s left of them – furthermore think the Poles had their own little “empire” prior to the Soviet attack on Poland. Stalin’s pact with Hitler gave the Soviets/Russians some time to consider their predicament because they knew what was coming. It would not have made a difference to Hitler whether there had been a pact with Stalin or not. He was still hellbent on invading Poland and Russia.
Dickie:
My point is that the Hitler-Stalin pact made WWII inevitable. Stalin hated Poland as much as Hitler. It is surely obvious that if WWII had not happened, there would have been no Holocaust, and therefore no concentration camp survivors.
Not a subject I have any great knowledge about, but the Germans and Russians got cosy post-WWI with the Treaty of Rapallo, long before Hitler and Molotov-Ribbentrop. The Germans wanted to circumvent Versailles by developing their military in Soviet territory, such as the fighter pilot school at Lipetsk (this is the bit I’ve read about). Considering the battering the Soviets took from the Luftwaffe in the early stages of Barbarossa, allowing this must go down as one of history’s bad decisions.
Hitler repudiated the good relations which Weimar Germany had with the USSR. That is why the Hitler-Stalin pact came as such a surprise. If Stalin had agreed a pact with Britain and France WWII would not have happened, but the fact is Stalin wanted the eastern part of Poland. It is still part of Ukraine to this day! He also wanted Finland and the Baltic states, and the pact with Germany made his wars with them possible. Stalin was not interested in peace, he wanted more territory for the USSR.

This was unacceptable and in my opinion, is medical coercion.

1 overdue letter then immediately the red one notifying you as being “under investigation” smacks of harassment and perhaps an indication that they are in trouble?

Some tw*t wearing green
A man in a lime green silky top was mistaken for Finland’s Eurovision singer by a BBC reporter at the semi-final event on Monday.
Katie Walderman referred to the “main man himself”, meaning Finnish entrant Kaarija, as she spoke to visitors in Liverpool… but all was not quite as it seemed.
A BBC North West Tonight spokesperson said: “This was a case of Eurovision fever. We hope the real Kaarija will join us on North West Tonight so we can say sorry and wish him well for the Grand Final.”
@BBCWorld have deleted YESTERDAY’S libelous tweet against Tim Pool
AFTER Twitter community contexts ruined it for them
TODAY BBCworld put up this replacement tweet thread
The first part of that quotes tweet which has now also been deleted (though strangely for now it does show up here)
.. I could do Twitter forensics on it
For context the quoted deleted tweet

In a discussion about cavity wall insulation it was claimed ‘in nearly a million cases it just went wrong.’ We should have made it clear that there are no national figures for the numbers of properties in which cavity wall insulation has failed, though industry insiders have indicated to the BBC an estimated 800,000 properties may be affected. There are more than thirteen million properties estimated to have this type of insulation in the UK.

Wendling’s really putting in a shift on this one; he’s not going to concede that the BBC’s investigations are anything less than thorough and impartial.
People do use the internet in strange ways Mike, the BBC more than most.
Pretty glorious all round, Mike.
He supposedly covers the USA and struggles to get 5 engagements.
And now this.
Let us not forget him going full BBC Flounce on Mr. Pool trying to prod post Musk ignoring Springster.
Never go full BBC Flounce Mike.
His entire Twitter page thread history is an embarrassment to journalism.
Guest: Wendle (verb)
– to grasp desperately
– to flounder
– to obsessively distort a story
e.g. “he really wendled that thing to death”
He is a nasty bit of work, indulged by the BBC to mount highly selective attacks on key BBC targets… Scott Adams, Trump, Musk, etc…
It’s one thing to be an assassin; quite another to so ineptly and obviously point back at the one commissioning the hit.
Right there is something complicated going on
#1 BBC deleted a tweet which has a libelous image of Tim Pool
#2 Then did that new tweet today
which has two elements : supposed to show the old tweet with the wrong thumbnail and a NEW THUMBNAIL from the webstory
cos they put in a new Texas Police image and took out the Tim Pool image
However the way Twitter caching works is that right now it is not fetching the new thumbnail, it’s reshowing the old libelous image
Point “Average BBC tweet gets a few thousand views and 10-20 comments .
Get community noted and have 1.8 million views !”
Another “BBC has 39 million fake followers 🤖 and can’t even average 100 likes per tweet 🤡🤡🤡”

We reported that a policewoman was injured after she ‘knocked herself off her horse’ in our coverage of Black Lives Matter protests in central London. It would have been better to have said that the policewoman had come off her horse. The circumstances of what exactly happened are being investigated.

A news report stated that a conservative commentator, Darren Grimes, describes his website as a safe space for racist and homophobic views.
In fact, Pink News reported on 29 May that he was talking about people labelled homophobic, transphobic or racist on account of their beliefs.
His exact quote was: “Do you hide your political views for fear of being called homophobic, a TERF, racist?”

CNN doing a BBC and getting ridiculed online:
A woman from Austria documenting what is going on in Europe, worth showing to those who think re-joining the EU would be a good idea.
Like many she sees all the problems but is completely cluless as to the cause, and seems to think the answer is more of the same.
Nothing to do with the sanctions against Russia which have spectacularly backfired, the US sabotage of Nordstream and the billions of Euros sent to the thieving Ukrainian government then😂😂😂

TWatO Watch #1 – the Archbishop has made a howler …..
…no, not a wonderful speech that howls the Government into submission but a Biblical howler. He has shown that he doesn’t know his Bible! I think I heard the Archbishop of Wokeanterbury say that Jesus said we should ‘practise hospitality to strangers and those in need’ from a quote in Matthew 24. Did I really hear that? Am I being gaslighted by the Archbishop of Wokeanterbury?
That is not in Matthew 24. What is in Matthew 24 is the wisdom from the lips of Jesus about the end times (Matthew 24 is Matthew’s record of the ‘Olivet Discourse’) and to be alert, and watching and praying so that you will not, in effect, be caught unawares and be burgled by a thief. (Matt 24 v 43 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-Chapter-24/)
It was in Luke 24 that the couple, reasonably assumed to be married, are joined by a stranger – the risen Lord Jesus Christ – and as it was close to evening they practised Middle Eastern hospitality: verse 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
But as the stranger broke bread and gave thanks to God for it, Mr & Mrs Cleopas’ eyes were opened and they realised who the stranger is. Verse 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Sadly, the illegals brought over by traffickers also often vanish, losing their lives in the waters of the English Channel or into modern slavery gangs or into the interior of the UK to commit crimes. I wish the Archbishop of Wokeanterbury would recognise those facts. The Immigration Bill may not be perfect but it is a legitimate attempt to solve three or four problems.
Further to the post above the King James Bible on-line https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org has a search facility which like many search facilities needs to be asked the right questions: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?hs=1&q=practise+hospitality throws up the following:
Romans 12:13
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
1 Peter 4:9
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Titus 1:8
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
I’m sure that most readers and posters on this site think to themselves ‘ everyday there is something reported that convinces me that the world is going mad’ . It’s been going on for several years but seems to be gathering pace recently. There are numerous examples that everyone will know so there is no need to cite them.
Many of the older site users have at one time or another mentioned being glad that they are past half of their expected life span and are not young and starting a family .
I know that I have expressed these views myself on several occasions but usually that feeling of dread and depression about the next 10 or 20 years was short lived. But in the past year or two that feeling has become more and more frequent and persistent.
Perhaps that is because after the undermining of Brexit and nullification of President Trump , I have finally accepted that democracy is dead, that ordinary folks like us are powerless to alter the programme that the elites have in mind. In short we , our culture , our way of life , our standard of living is stuffed, it’s over.
God help those starting out in life. Even if they soon realise that they have been conned by their ‘educators’ and disenfranchised by politicians there is nothing that they can do as the elite consolidate their position with each passing month and hold every lever of power.
Double – I long ago accepted that change happens – and we are going through a time of very rapid change – some things improve – such as access to information – other things are not an improvement .
As an armchair historian – I cannot think of a similar time in history where change is so rapid .
As for democracy – I agree we are really living in a time of tyranny – of controlled thought and expression – of rapidly increasing control on every aspect of life – whether we know it or not – the insidious stuff – such as green crap – the brainwashing of the young – the refusal to respect the contrary view – the use of multiculturalism to suppress an accepted and better way of life – are all here .
Will ‘things ‘ improve ? Very unlikely as the country enters a time of real economic trouble – far worse than recent years .
Will reliance on The State become deeper ? Yes – pushing at even more intrusion into our lives .
But sometimes something happens so drastic that change is forced – eg a really bad virus – or war – and both of these are more likely now than for many a year …..
But as you say – those who are more than half way through their lives have seen the best of it – in general …. Continuous decline is inevitable …. Look after yourself .
Arabs believe economy is weak under democracy
Published
6 July 2022
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-62001426
Arabs are losing faith in democracy to deliver economic stability across the Middle East and North Africa, according to a major new survey.
Nearly 23,000 people were interviewed across nine countries and the Palestinian territories for BBC News Arabic by the Arab Barometer network.
Most agreed with the statement that an economy is weak under a democracy.
Someone said tp Wendling “@bbc’s reputation and viewership is tanking”
He replied : I have a graph
Despite his framing that doesn’t prove the guy is wrong
What’s that say ?
That IN THE US only 46% Trust the BBC
and actually local US stations are trusted more
In the UK the graph is different
(All surveys are suspect, and trusted sources is a fallacy)
He didn’t quote the YouGov survey
which breaks it down by Republican/Democrat supporters
BBC is anti-righty & pro Green/Woke Supremacist
I assume that both sides of the political spectrum, or aisle in US speak, believe this poll to be honest and accurate to within a few % either way. As we all know the MSM internationally is far to the left of the man and woman in the street and this polls is yet another piece of confirmation of this.
You would think that the MSM would be worried by this lack of trust from one side of the aisle . But no if anything they seem to be proud of their obvious bias, proud that millions of people don’t trust them.
Perhaps if we lived in a democracy they would be more concerned but they know the leftist globalists have everything stitched up . There is little chance that the left will ever lose power even if there is Republican President . We saw this in Trump’s first term and with Brexit . The left rules, it pays little heed to the established rules of democracy because it knows that voters count for nothing in the post democratic era.
Be funny if Springster got cornered* into fact checking him.
*I appreciate the global population would need to be blocked first.

Remind you of any corporate entity?
My problem is that I don’t Charles as King and that I suspect William of being just as bad as his father. On the other hand I don’t want an elected President as head of state , even one that is only a figurehead with little real power.
Princess Anne would my choice as Monarch if she would do the job. Oh how lucky we were to have had the Queen on the throne for so long. How much we miss her .
Double, agree on the Queen. She was a gem and a good Christian woman. I think we will have to rub along with Charles III as Monarch. “God save, really save the King!”

Promises, promises and more broken promises .
They never really wanted to leave . We were sold Brexit only to stop Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party from winning the election .
The Reform Party will get us independence from the EU and stop the boat people from invading, freeloading and scavenging at the cost of the ordinary people of these islands .
For those keeping an ‘ eye’ Thursday is interest rate day . Number crunchers seem to think another .25% increase is on the way .
The BBC will play the blame game as ever and find some kidult who doesnt get why the ending fixed mortgage jumps up in cost …
….. meanwhile the inflation rate stays up ( see supermarkets)

Brave New World Order. UK Electricity Power cuts, Water rationing, Food reduction (no fertilizer), UK Travel restrictions (15 minute cities), Bill Gates Food emporium (GM Foods and assorted Bugs) – global, No Gas plans (Gas restrictions), No wood burning (Fire Brigade exempt), death by cold allowed as it saves the planet (but saving is ONLY for those that can afford life luxuries). The socialist Politicos, the establishment of the left, the embedded civil service (already left and proud), and false government of the major parties. And the threat of a new global pandemic ‘on tap’ by the WHO as its ‘good for the planet’.
See: HMG Petition:

(which our own daft government will ignore as it a UK body and run by the US social reformers as part of the WED (Davos) doctrine for a new world ‘green’ industry (based entirely on government handouts and sponsorships to save (a doomed planet in cyber space). As part of UN Agenda 21, too de-populate the planet Earth (saving the planet by net zero reinforcement means ‘zero population’ growth. No Industrial Growth (at all). No Food growth (at all). No Power generation increase (at all). And all of this is nodded through without essential debate by our three major parties with the help of the BBC proclaiming its the end of the world as we know it..
Well read this and you can see that its impossible to go ‘Green’. Its a complete fallacy and we are being led down a grimy path to world Socialism. WEF. WHO. Biden’s Green agenda (green subsidies for Bill Gates food emporium), free meal tickets for the BBC (liquid lunch breaks) and the impossibility of ever running the BBC on Solar power, Wind energy alone, even with a free bus pass on a London Sadiq Khans transport system, disabled an on point of collapse without fining car drivers to driver in London (for any reason) at £12.50 per day. Soon to be copied across the UK within the year.
No power makes it all pointless. This is the liberal socialists at work and no mistake. This is the Brave New World the BBC dream off. East Germany.
Expensive, no food, no power, transport restrictions and ID cards (to prove that you are net zero).
Hence no children… (zero growth)
No job, no industry, reliant on state aid.
And still no affordable power… probably not ever if the Green target (an impossibility) is to be achieved). Gas and Coal banned, Wood being next. No need for money will follow. A new ‘Credit’ system for you.
The impossibility of Solar and Wind power….

Fully Automated Luxury Communism:
A Manifesto
https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/476-fully-automated-luxury-communism
Fully Automated Luxury Communism promises a radically new left future for everyone. New technologies will liberate us from work, providing the opportunity to build a society beyond both capitalism and scarcity. Automation, rather than undermining an economy built on full employment, is instead the path to a world of liberty, luxury and happiness. Solar power will deliver the energy that we need, while asteroid mining will deliver the necessary resources, allowing us to end the devastation of our environment. Innovations in AI, gene editing, food technology will leads us to new ways of living better lives.
In his first book, radical political commentator Aaron Bastani conjures a new politics: a vision of a world of unimaginable hope, highlighting how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of nine billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology and build meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society heralds the beginning of history.
