Midweek 24 May 2023

The taxpayer is now funding BBC VERIFY . BBC VERIFY ‘comprises about 60 journalists who will form a highly specialised operation with a range of forensic investigative skills and open source intelligence (Osint) capabilities at their fingertips.’

But what will the self serving BBC VERIFY verify ? US elections ? Unlikely . Vaccines killing people ?don’t go there . Ukrainian News? Avoid .

VERIFY gives us another tool to evidence the bias of the BBC . Enjoy

    BBC London News just now, they were talking to a café or restaurant owner, he was wearing a T-shirt with the image below.
    Of course if someone was wearing a T-shirt offensive to Muslims, I’ve no doubt they’d allow that, too. (Not).

    Staggered by the selfish self aggrandising statement from the top cop of The Scottish police in describing his own force as institutionally racist, homophobic, and all the usual lame woke isms etc. etc, etc.

    An utterly stupid derogatory slur on the no doubt 99% of straightforward hardworking officers under his command.

    This was done obviously to garner him a shitload of woke brownie points to elevate his post cop career chances. Just throw the rest of his officers under the bus.

    Disgusting and stupid doesn’t even come close, what does this say about the calibre and intelligence of the top tier of the police force?

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #2 – is this an admission that you have been lying, BBC?

    Perhaps ‘Verify’ has swung into action very quickly: https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/65687284 ?

    All winter and spring the BBC with the help of the Met Office on R4 the BBC have been telling us how ‘unseasonably warm’ it is. The weather forecasts at times have been laughable. I think I have posted several times how, in the supposed warmest corner of the UK and close to recent heat waves in Spain and Portugal, the Met Office has forgotten to tell my central heating thermostat just how exactly hot it is in the south-east corner of England and the system has fired up to keep me warm.

    No one of sound mind would deny that we have a climate here in the UK. It tends to be more moderate than the extremes of heat and cold enjoyed by the good people living in the continent of Europe. There is a good reason for this, Caroline Lucas MP, a geographical and geophysical one.

      quote : Calling puberty blockers ‘gender-affirming health care’ is like calling cigarettes ‘mood-affirming lung care’.

      + A lot of good points
      eg about how SarahSmith’s mother was handed a seat in House of Lords just like Stephen Lawrences mum was

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #3 – why are you not outraged at the lack of equality, BBC?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-65719815. Once again, the male in ‘a couple’ receives a more onerous sentence for the same crime from a British Court than a woman. It is even more surprising because a woman is said to be genetically disposed towards protecting a child of hers. The BBC ought to be outraged at this lack of equality as well as the horrific nature of the case.

    Tumbleweed.

    The BBC obviously think that transgenders should have equality: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/65718748 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/26907860-0b0e-4470-b4bc-3c6235838d1a

      Here’s what Schofe said:

      “I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning. Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.”

      Still : Louis Grieves does the job of removing the illegal road obstruction
      whilst two police are facilitating XR #GreenSupremacists’ roadblocking crime
      by standing around chatting and not acting to remove the obstruction.
      Next they the two police serve their #Guardianland pals
      by visciously moving in against Louis Grieves

      They take on one working class bloke
      but not 15 XR #GreenSupremacist Extremists

      1 minute vid
      #GreenSupremacist protesters refuse to move for driver’s hospital appointment
      The protesters were asked by a police community support officer to allow the man to drive through the protest in order to attend a hospital appointment.

      But when one activist says he doesn’t believe the situation is an emergency, the motorist takes matters into his own hands by mounting the pavement to swerve around the protesters.
