BBC’s controversial Jimmy Savile drama starring Steve Coogan as the prolific paedophile is pushed back until 2024 due to ‘sensitivities’
BBC’s controversial Jimmy Savile drama has been delayed until 2024
Producers are said to be desperately trying to ensure it is 100 per cent right
The decision to film a drama chronicling his life caused substantial backlash

Excellent news Andy – it’s a long war ….
The governments favourite arrivals might be offended by the sight of the grave of the Dambusters’ dog. So our servile RAF propose to dig up Nigger’s grave and relocate the remains.
Are we already being ruled by these invaders?

I had a giggle at that brainless blondes placard…. Somebody needs to let her know that Rhodes died around 120 years ago which surely means he is in fact already history….
I guess for todays “highly educated” uni bunch their kind of “history” started around 1980 with Reggae music so what she really means is not in fact make him history but erase him from history which seems to be a thing with this generation as if acceptable humanity only started when they were born which seems not only stupid but rather selfish and greedy too.
I understand that Goebbels was a dab hand at this sort of thing on behalf of the Nazi’s.
There are probably uni science graduates working on methods of bringing long dead people back to life so they can be stoned back to death again, hacked into pieces and put through a mincer in a more satisfying sort of way.
So nice to think the future is in the hands of these dolts,
digg, yes, I went to his school, well, one in a road named after Cecil Rhodes, that is.

The Labrador’s original gravestone, bearing the controversial name, was replaced in 2020 with a new one that pays tribute to the animal’s role in the Dambusters’ story. Scampton Holdings Ltd, representing RAF Scampton, underscores the importance of this narrative, stating that the dog’s story is deeply intertwined with the Dambuster saga in the public consciousness.

While reporting about a powerful and deadly tornado that had hit the small town of Rolling Fork in Mississippi we said “with the changes we’re seeing from climate change, we’re expecting to see more extreme weather events like this”. The impact of climate change on the frequency of tornadoes is still unclear, with a lack of definitive evidence on how they may change with a warming climate. Research has shown the total number of tornadoes per year in the US has remained relatively stable.

“definitive evidence” = with the changes we’re seeing from climate change

Interesting take from the misinfo team here re: BBC donations.
‘Some say’ Rachel’s take is a bit like believing millions being pumped into one’s family’s shell accounts have no bearing on political favours one would be able to arrange. In Rachel Land as long as financial lobbying is nicely cordoned off, there’s nothing to worry about.
Naive or outright ignorant… either way these are the people policing misinformation in the new world order. Worrying.

Reuters: “French sprinter Halba Diouf feels she is being marginalised and hounded after her dream of participating at next year’s Paris Olympics was shattered when World Athletics (WA) banned transgender women from elite female competitions.”
French… woman… ooh la la, trés jolie
https://www.reuters.com/sports/athletics/were-being-hounded-french-transgender-sprinter-decries-olympics-ban-2023-05-09/
“Diouf, a practicing Muslim who loves shopping and wears mini-skirts”
Surely that is a contradiction in terms?
The argument here should be running in both directions, because if women are the equal of, and the same as men, then there cannot be any reasonable objection to trans people competing against them, indeed why does womens sport exist at all if women are equal to men?
We only need look at the table of world records to see that women are quite some way behind men in virtually all sports to get the proof of that, but the funniest thing of all this is that the women complaining about the trannies cannot admit the reason they shouldn’t compete is because the women are not the equal of the men.
I think I’d have a lot more respect for the screaming loons if they could cope with reality and admit the real reason is that men are more powerful than they are and that trans women have an unfair advantage because of that.
Watching them dance around that one is rather amusing.
Men breaking women’s glass ceilings?
Obama agrees with this as he wants women in men’s toilets.
Again, perhaps you are too young to remember the assault women made on all male spaces back in the day, it’s hardly reasonable to say women are entitled to access to all male spaces but it doesn’t work the other way around.
Sorry but this is the price you have to pay for ekwalitee, it cuts both ways.

Yours sincerely,
More updates on yesterdays debt ceiling meeting which you probably won’t hear on the BBC.
After the meeting Kevin McCarthy (Speaker) and Mitch McConnell (RINO Wet and GOP Leader) said that they went into the meeting with a formulated plan to raise the debt ceiling after asking for a meeting with Biden every day for 120 days and being refused on every occasion, only to be told that Biden would not negotiate at all, and wanted the debt ceiling removed altogether with no spending cuts or conditions.
And thus the meeting ended, and the US moved closer to a debt default.
Meanwhile Yelland has written to top business leaders asking them to pressure the GOP into giving Biden complete capitulation and threatening dire economic consequences if they do not, and Biden has also been contacting business supporters looking for their backing in his insane squandering desires.
Biden and Karine John Pierre are trying to paint this as the GOP holding them to ransom and being prepared to crash the US economy if they don’t get what they want, but the reality is the reverse is true, and the polls show Bidens economic approval rating is below 30%. If he does hold out on this it is highly likely he will get the blame when it all hits the fan.
Then there is the spectre of the 14th amendment being raised:
“Section Four: 14th Amendment
Section Four of the 14th Amendment states that the “validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.” Historians believe the clause was intended to ensure the federal government would not repudiate its debts, as some former Confederate states had done.
However even Janet Yellen has called the use of it to circumvent the debt ceiling legally “Questionable”. Not that breaking the law would bother a hardened criminal like Biden of course.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/11/us/politics/debt-limit-yellen-14th-amendment.html
The strategy would effectively be a constitutional challenge to the debt limit. Under the theory, the government would be required by the 14th Amendment to continue issuing new debt to pay bondholders, Social Security recipients, government employees and others, even if Congress fails to lift the limit before the so-called X-date.
Ms. Yellen, however, continued to dismiss that notion.
“There would clearly be litigation around that; it’s not a short-run solution,” Ms. Yellen said at a news conference in Japan before a meeting of finance ministers from the Group of 7 nations. “It’s legally questionable whether or not that’s a viable strategy.”
We are at a point now where the decisions made with a man who IMHO is unfit to be President, and appears to be doing all he can to wreck that once great country is holding our very lives in the balance because of his stubborness. Make no mistake if the US does default it will go badly for Britain especially with the muppets we currently have in parliament.

The entire Biden clan are corrupt as hell, but you wouldn’t know it from reading the Biden Broadcasting Corporation’s article on the latest probe into their crooked dealings.
It’s full of disclaimers, exculpations, exonerations, attenuations, excuses and omissions.
Basically, you could walk away thinking it’s just the Republicans spreading “baseless innuendo”.
In fact there’s an avalanche of highly incriminating evidence. And it’s not just Hunter and Joe (‘the Big Guy’, Mr 10%). The whole rotten clan have had their sticky fingers in the pot for years.
A picture’s worth a thousand words and the diagram below shows part of the complex web of shell companies that’s emerging. That’s just the China connection, but there were also dirty deals with Ukraine, Romania and Russia, and probably more to come.
How long can the BBC keep lying?

A Gallery Sells Hunter Bidens. The White House Says It Won’t Know Who’s Buying.
Hunter Biden’s works are being offered for as much as $500,000 apiece; his art dealer said he would follow ethics guidelines that the Biden administration helped to develop.
Just noticed the defence being pushed hard in the media today by the supporters of Adjoa Andoh (she of the ‘terribly white Royal Family’ fame), basically that ‘People shouldn’t criticise her…..after all, she was only telling the truth !’
Well, I’m not sure that these leftists really understand what the can of worms they may be opening, because that leaves the door open to statements about how, proportionally, certain crimes in the UK are markedly more often committed by people of a certain colour, or that proportionally, grooming of young girls across the UK was committed markedly more often by people of a certain specific nationality from the Asian sub-continent. After all, surely these things are also only the truth (and only the tip of the iceberg) – and must therefore , by the same standards, also be above reproach.
Following on from the comments by Andoh, of course, her ” I didn’t mean to upset anyone” must be far more meaningful than Lady Susan Hussey’s regret over the “Where are you from” question…. and we should just let Andoh’s racebaiting go.
Double standards or what ?

The Raid on Mounts Bay also known as the Spanish attack on Mounts Bay was a Spanish raid on Cornwall, England, that took place between 2 and 4 August 1595 in the context of the Brittany Campaign during the Anglo-Spanish war of 1585-1604. It was conducted by a Spanish naval squadron led by Carlos de Amésquita on patrol from Brittany, France. The Spanish made landfall in Mount’s Bay, then sacked and burned Newlyn, Mousehole, Penzance, and Paul, beating a militia force under Francis Godolphin in the process.

WORK CREATION – Lawyers!
A home-owner said his flat has been ruined by black mould caused by a government “green” insulation scheme.
Blaan Paterson is in dispute with his local council over his claim that cavity wall insulation has led to nearly a decade of damp conditions.
He has spent £4,000 on reports that suggest a mix of rock wool and polystyrene insulation – and a botched removal – have caused persistent damp.
A 2015 inspection carried out by the council at one of the properties blamed condensation as the root cause.
The inspection recommended “dehumidifiers installed throughout the property for a period of time” but the damp conditions have continued for a further eight years.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-65543897
Dehumidifiers cost a significant amount of money to run.
It always amazes me that supposedly expert Surveyors, Builders and Architects don’t seem to realise that houses require ventilation.

UK confirms supply of Storm Shadow long-range missiles in Ukraine
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65558070
Storm Shadows, manufactured by European missile maker MBDA, are air-launched long-range missiles, designed for attacks against high value targets such as hardened bunkers and have a range of more than 250 km (155 miles)
MBDA is a European multinational developer and manufacturer of missiles. It was created in December 2001 after the merger of the main French, British and Italian missile systems companies; Matra, BAe Dynamics and Alenia
Revenue: 3.7 billion EUR (2019)

Unit cost €850,000 (FY2011) £790,000 (FY2011)

It’s not such about the bias – but I heard a piece on R4 yesterday about social workers working from home . They had a ‘dad ‘ whose son had the full bingo card of mental disabilities – ADHD – Tourette’s – autism – the lot . The dad was complaining that the kid had never been seen by a social worker – meetings were all done on the internet – the latest social worker didn’t even live near ….
…. As a taxpayer who is unlikely ever to meet or use social services what stuck with me was those cases of small kids tortured and killed by ( usually?) the step mum / dad – both where a lessons will be learnt report was done but there was always a bit where the social didn’t see the kid in the run up to murder .
This wasn’t mentioned in the radio report . They had a union rep on who yapped about ‘recruitment ‘ ‘conditions ‘ work life balance ‘work load ‘ blah …..

Trump was savagely grilled for 70 minutes on CNN.
They asked Biden what his favourite ice-cream was.
Lurcher loved it because he thought Trump did badly.
The wildly cheering audience thought otherwise.
The left in the USA have a massive awakening coming. US Joe Public have had enough of their lies and posing.
I’ve obviously no idea if Trump was guilty of assault or not but it does look like a witch hunt.
What I find interesting is the attitude of his detractors and commentators with regard to the verdict. What many of them say is the “Law is the Law, he’s been found guilty” as if a Court verdict is something set on stones by God. The reality is more mundane. There are biased Judges and Juries, poor defences and prosecutions. The results of Court trials, although many of them are correct, can be something of a lottery. This is especially the case in Civil cases and non Jury trials. A Civil case like the one Trump had is decided on the balance of probabilities. Given the location in New York the chances are that both the Judge and Jury were predjudiced and even if individuals weren’t some would be delighted to give a famous rich man like Trump a kicking.

The BBC must “have the courage to look at new funding models” for its services, a corporation chief has said, as she welcomed offers of private money to run the BBC Singers.
The broadcaster is currently mulling over rival bids from outside organisations to take on the choir, effectively privatising it but with the option to keep the BBC branding.
Charlotte Moore, the BBC’s chief content officer, said that no part of the BBC is safe and all staff face “great jeopardy”.
Asked at a Voice of the Listener and Viewer conference about the fate of the BBC Singers, Ms Moore said: “It is fantastic that we are looking at what I hope will be very viable options.
“To be honest, we’ve only got a certain amount of money. We have to look at different models and that is what we’re doing. We’ve had really constructive conversations and I don’t believe, unfortunately, those things would be on the table if we hadn’t been through this process.
“So of course it’s a difficult time for all of our staff, particularly for everyone in the performing groups – but, to be honest, I would say there is great jeopardy for all of our staff at the BBC at the moment, and for anybody who works in public service broadcasting.
“We all know that competition is enormous but it is for the BBC to have the courage to look at new models, to stand firm and to really think about ways that we might be able to do things in the future.”
No God-given right
Ms Moore added that the BBC had to keep convincing licence fee payers that the corporation added value to their lives. “It’s not our God-given right to exist,” she said.
At the same conference, the BBC was told to stop worrying about a Tory government and start focusing on Tory licence fee payers.
Baroness Stowell of Beeston, the Tory peer and chair of the House of Lords communications and digital select committee, referred to “a growing body of people who feel less attached to the BBC”.
“I think it is a delusion to believe that the biggest danger to the BBC’s future comes from any politician, or whoever it might be that occupies the role of the secretary of state at the DCMS,” said Lady Stowell, formerly a press officer for the now-defunct BBC Trust.
“I don’t think there is anybody in government who is hostile to the BBC. I genuinely don’t think the Conservative Party is hostile either.
“But there are people who vote Conservative, and who are also licence fee payers, who feel that the BBC at the moment is not representing them in the way that they feel they deserve. And I think that’s what the BBC needs to focus on.”
Licence fee evasion
Meanwhile, the BBC has announced plans to reduce the number of women prosecuted for licence fee evasion, following criticism that three in four people prosecuted are female.
The corporation’s review concluded that the gender disparity was due to societal factors beyond its control, such as women making up the majority of single parent households, and being more likely to be the person who opened the door to licence fee collectors.
New measures include allowing unlicensed households to spread the cost of a TV licence over 12 months, offering a two-month “breathing space” on enforcement action to anyone who agrees to be referred for free debt advice.ENDS

I laughed when I heard that next week is being designated as ‘mental health week ‘. I have great sympathy for any normal mum and dad trying to bring up their children and trying to shelter them from the lunacy of our times .
I know it is an impossible job and I give great thanks to my parents who I think had an easier time back in the 60s – and that I didn’t grow up too quick .
The current madness is likely to drive any parent or child mentally affected – with the likes of the BBC evil message contributing . …
Not sure how a general election, even (in the unlikeliest of circumstances) if won by Reform UK, would change the choice mechanism for Prime MInister – unless Reform UK is also suggesting that we have a separate election process for Prime Minister….. but I haven’t seen that proposal yet !
Disingenuous or deceitful ?
Just watched a Nutella ad on tv.. featuring just a normal white UK couple…. how hell did that get through the race, gender filter mind control Nazis?
Disgusting that there was no black, overweight, Indeterminate sex actors in the ad.
How the hell did that get approval from the stasi albeit the people actually paying for it were the manufacturers who just want to sell the stuff.
So true Digg : the latest forced-agenda by the fascist Left is to use the ugliest, fattest women they can find in TV and advertisements.
It’s so that the 0.01% of ugly fat women on social media who have mental problems don’t feel inadequate and self-harm or whatever it is they do. Meanwhile the rest of us 99.99% are supposed to pretend they look beautiful.
It’s all so superficial and pathetic virtue-signalling. Even Father Brown’s usual mix of whitey side-kicks have been replaced by a gobby, overweight, ugly female black character with a strong Yorkshire accent. But the boys still fancy her of course.
I am at the point now where if an advertisement is clearly racist or sexist I make a point of not buying that brand. The problem is, there aren’t many left. Haven’t eaten Walkers crisps for years …
Though if it’s Nutella, are you sure it’s not a European advert being screened here ?. That would explain it.
Thailand election: The party they can’t stop winning
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-65531574
I just have to vent my disgust at the typical left-wing grubby journalist Jonathan Head who is an absolute disgrace to any journalistic ethic you might care to mention.
He makes out the last government was ousted by a coup by the evil army without giving any reasons. Here’s what led to it:
Thailand was almost bankrupt because Thaksin put in a ‘rice-scheme’ to give guaranteed prices for rice. They said it was to help the poor. In fact for the 600 BILLION baht budget, only 100 billion made it to the farmers. They stole the rest in corruption.
Then they introduced an amnesty bill to remove all charges of corruption for politicians since 2004. This of course was to let Thaksin come back to Thailand without going to prison. His party (which he ruled via skype from Dubai) ALL voted for it (because he ruins those who go against him : when he approves their selection, they also have to pre-sign a letter of resignation) and the opposition walked out. It was passed by 310 votes to 0.
The people took to the streets in mass protests so Thaksin started paying his red-shirt mercenaries to murder them with M79 grenade launchers – which they fired indiscriminately into crowds with women and children – to scare them home. At a red-shirt (Thaksins people) party, they actually cheered when news came in of several people (including a young girl) being killed in such an attack.
Then Thaksins government tried to run an election in the middle of these mass protests to claim they had a mandate to continue. The election was abandoned, nobody won and a caretaker government had to be installed. The violence then escalated towards civil war which is when the Army stepped in to stop it. The corrupt police were starting to let Thaksin’s people into demonstration areas with weapons.
Thailand had no government by then : Pheu Thai/Thaksin was not ousted by the coup.
Jonathan Head described those murders as ‘Protests which turned violent’.
Thaksin had forced the party to elect his sister Yingluck as PM and she was utterly useless. In a speech she said ‘thank you 3 times’ as that was was written in front of her. Now he has put his daughter into the position. He is a dictator in every sense of the word. Nobody dare go against him in his party and many of his enemies simply disappear.
This is what Jonathan Head never reports because he is far-left. He is top-drawer BBC journalist scum.
Rant over. Thank you.
No hint of that on the BBC front page….
Jonathan Head
He is the lowest of unpleasant, grubby, left-wing socialists/journalists and provides a clear example of what the BBC really are to me. Like much of the world, few people here trust the BBC now.
Plus he’s been in trouble here in the past for insulting the Thai monarchy.

“What a catastrophic weekend for the BBC!” Kevin O’Sullivan Takes Down The BBC’s Coronation Coverage
“Remember, I’m watching the BBC, so you don’t have to”.
Great line.
Kevin, always worth listening to.
To me, that story just reflects the general drop in BBC standards across the board. And I’m pretty certain that it’s all because their recruitment policy for the last 10 years or more has been based on ideology and quotas. All of those people are now in decision making positions – and this is the result.
Father Brown and Death In Paradise are two excellent examples of shows which used to be fun and entertaining for me and which now are so flat, unimaginative, boring and stuffed full of Leftist agenda that after 10 minutes I realise I am wasting my life watching them and turn them off. It’s very obvious that someone has told someone else just to do the same as what made it popular in the first place – but they miss that vital spark of initiative that Marianna demonstrates so perfectly.
All the quality staff have left, formed their own companies and are screwing the BBC as outsourced subcontractors where the expenses are hidden from public view. I’m certain a few backhanders are going on there …
Luckily for us it is digging their grave for them. They cannot continue like this at the taxpayers expense.

Despite Drexit edition
‘Go back to work and we can cut tax by 2p’ Ministers urge pandemic leavers to boost economy as workforce is 400,000 short (Telegraph)
One could do the usual and fix that headline with our small but important correction: …Ministers urge Lockdown leavers… but it represents a fairly frank admission that Lockdown policy broke the morale of the British workforce. Demoralised us – as Mr AsI likes to say.
400,000 short? Really? Well, our short-arsed PM manlet Rishi Sunak is the exemplar there, so he should know. I jest of course.
One wonders by what calculation we get this figure for our supposed shortfall of workers?
Hopefully it’s not a computer model from the likes of Neil Ferguson, physicist: The Failure of Imperial College Modeling Is Far Worse than We Knew… Ferguson predicted catastrophic death tolls back on March 16, 2020 unless governments around the world adopted his preferred suite of nonpharmaceutical interventions… (American Institute for Economic Research)
Or predictions perhaps from the Bank of England’s team of experts: How can we trust the Bank of England when its predictions on recession, unemployment and inflation have so far been… WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! (Daily Express)
But if there are 400,000 missing workers don’t worry… government policy has it covered: Net migration set to reach the million mark (Telegraph)
Of course we might be swapping the likes of newly and expensively qualified doctors: Drexit: (“Doctor-Exit”) Understanding why junior doctors leave their training programs to train overseas… many doctors leave their jobs in the NHS and move overseas to perform the same job in an entirely new healthcare system. (Wiley Online Library, Health Science Reports)
In exchange for: Migrants are over-represented in the hospitality sector (28% of the workforce), transport and storage (26%), and information, communication and IT (25%) (The Migration Observatory) – and that’s putting the best possible spin on it… car washers, drug dealers, Big Issues sales, sex industry…
Oh well, at least the powers that be can sometimes sense when they’ve pushed things just a tad too far and they do occasionally row back somewhat: Eurovision bars address by Zelensky (Times)
Last time Mr AsI bothered to watch Eurovision (quite a few years back) he recalls an interlude between the last song and the bit where the scores start coming in that was occupied by some incomprehensible continental clown act taking the stage. Why break with tradition now?
I wonder what tax they are going to cut by 2 pence ? I guess it’s the old dirty trick of cutting income tax and transferring it to National insurance .
Perhaps there needs to be a working from home tax …..
AslSeelt,
What happened to the 600,000 that have arrived last year alone? The Hong Kongers, Afghans, Albanians etc. Government numbers don’t add up. The total influx over the last 5/6 years should have more than covered that 400K shortfall. Whatever, the system is all screwed up thanks to our abysmal political leadership.
The 250 pound ($340) visa could attract over 300,000 people and their dependents to Britain and generate up to 2.9 billion pounds net benefit to the British economy over the next five years, according to government forecasts.
From around midday on Sunday, eligible applicants can apply online and book an appointment to register their fingerprints at a visa application centre. From Feb. 23 some will be able to make the application visa a smartphone app.
It is still highly uncertain how many people will actually take up the offer. Government estimates show that 2.9 million and a further 2.3 million dependents will be eligible to come to Britain.

“The BBC first suggested the channel merger last May as part of measures aimed at plugging a £1.4B ($1.7B) hole in its finances after the license fee was frozen. It has also positioned the merger as an opportunity to reinvent the BBC’s news output for a digital age.”

Very welcome news – being talked down to by an ethnic who sounds like she is talking to 5 year olds isn’t – in my view – gonna win viewers – who have easily found better sharper fairer more accurate news ….
Meanwhile, the small boats have not been stopped. In fact, April saw the highest number of migrants detected in the channel of any month this year – with 2,153. Numbers until the 9th May don’t look much better either – 745 migrants were detected before even a third of the month had passed. You don’t need to have studied maths until 18 to see that the figures aren’t looking good.

The identity of Great Britain is being changed by the Conservatives.
Next time consider Reform UK.
Stop the Boats!
So the geniuses running the Bank of England and the MPC have raised interest rates once again. The fact is though that inflation in Britain is largely being caused by factors outside the Bank’s control of interest rates. We’re talking about energy costs, Covid, and Remoaners prolonging true Brexit. Raising interest rates will only create more inflation not less. In addition the Government and public sector are driving inflation quite nicely too. Raising interest rates is a huge mistake. In addition wage inflation is being driven by the Public sector and it’s Unions. Interest rates have been historically very low for many years but that was because the UK economy has been very low growth apart from Government spending with the Government spending money like water. I don’t see any recovery in the economy right now, quite the reverse in fact.
Anyone still think the BOE is independent?
I never did.
VAT?
Lower Tax?
Migrants to work in NHS for free? (more doctors / no cost)
…………………..
Britain spent an estimated £500,000 in the past year storing boats used by migrants to cross the Channel. The government has to keep hold of the small boats for 12 months to give the owner the opportunity to claim them – despite no one coming forward to collect one in the past year.7 Aug 2021
Flotsam, the MPC could never control inflation via interest rates; it was a smoke and mirrors move by Blair & Brown and eventually it crashed the economies of the West’s nations. In a high tax liberal social model economy, it is tax rates that determine inflation to a large extent, especially VAT and taxes on diesel fuel and to a lesser extent petrol fuel.
My advice to Sunak and Hunt would be:
Consider cutting VAT by 2% but most of all, cut the tax on diesel fuel by 5p each month for the rest of the year …
or
… exempt diesel fuel from VAT by legislation (thereby creating a problem for a potential Labour or incoming Labour/LibDem Government after the next election)
and
take back control of interest rates from the MPC of the Bank of England.

“Wind turbines have generated more electricity than gas for the first time in the UK.”
Hmm… gas. OK. I would need greater collators of stats to advise now.
Then the comments:
Actually a lot, mainly off the highest rated.
So on that headline I am unready yet to comment, but as it is the BBC reckon it needs checking. Not by the BBC.

Agencies blamed children for the abuse they suffered, not the perpetrators, and exploitation was not investigated because of “nervousness about race”.

BBC Newsnight… noted checker of witnesses and claims.
If a wimmin can get Trump into a democrat Courtroom with a democrat judge and jury which was always going to find him guilty of something then why can’t he counter sue her using a Republican judge and jury in a Trump supporting stake.
He could sue for a false accusation, defamation or something like that.
I bet a Trump sympathetic judge and jury would get a positive result for Trump.
Playing partisan lawfare with a very deliberate element of hammed up farce would just maybe make the average voter pay attention to the political weaponisation of the law that has dogged US politics for several decades …
Some contempt for judicial process is absolutely in order when the lawyers (esp. public prosecutors) and judges are essentially as out of control as we’ve been seeing over the last few years.
Trump.
First things first. He intends to appeal. The problem with that is that the original trial Judge has to grant leave to appeal. The next problem. Trump has to show that the proceedings were legally defective, he can’t just argue the verdict was wrong or the Judge and Jury were biased. I think it highly unlikely that leave to appeal would be granted and even if it were that they could argue that the proceedings were improperly conducted in any way. It’s American Law, similar to English Law so there could be some other way for Trump.
Regarding counter suing I’m fairly sure the defendant has choice of Jurisdiction. I think Trump didn’t have that choice because he lives in NY, the alleged events occurred there and it was a quasi criminal trial. It could be argued that counter suing would beca continuation of the first case.
I may be wrong on those points but those thoughts are my best guesses.
I’m guessing the democrats will come up with some other gal with an allegation from 25 years ago – knowing that Trump will not go in the box and the judge / jury system is fixed to favour the democrats …. I Wonder what would have happened to the US if the republicans were unable to have guns ….. ?
