Go Erdegon!
Erdoğan is guilty of three ‘crimes’ in the eyes of the BBC and the people they work for (in this instance, the Foreign Office):
Firstly, he is not a globalist. He believes in his own country, its people, its traditions and its values. Turkey is one of a handful of such civilisational states: countries with long, distinct independent histories, strong enough to resist the destructive trash values of globalism. Any such country – Russia, Iran, China – will draw the ire of the globalists and their shrills.
Secondly, he is a pragmatist. Turkey’s neighbour across the Black Sea is Russia, and any Turkish leader has to accommodate it. When it comes to sanctions, Erdoğan is not going to cut off his nose to spite his face.
Thirdly, Turkey controls access to the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Straits, via the international 1936 Montreal Convention. This restricts military use of the sea, and the 1982 Amendments allow Turkey to close the Straits altogether in time of war. This does not fit in with NATO and American military plans, which seek unrestricted access and the containment of the Russian navy.
Ian, yes but, no but, aah Erdoğan is one of the BBC’s pet Islamists. They love him for that.
Yeah! “Go Erdogan”.
Last time I looked, Erdogan pushed up inflation to > 85%. April 23 rate? – 43.68%. Just think about that. The Brits whinging at the RPI of 13.1%.

The mass immigration into the UK is great say the BBC types ..
Therefore the mass migration of Indians into Africa such as Uganda under the British Raj was a Good Thing .
And ultimately , despite the horrors of the ships transporting them , the mass migration of West Africans to the West Indies is eventually a Good Thing .
Wise BBC , tell us what to think .
Bradford is UK City of Culture 2025.
Bradford has been revealed as the winner of the hotly contested UK City of Culture 2025 competition.
The year is set to deliver more than 1000 new performances and events including 365 artist commissions, a series of major arts festivals as well as exciting national and international collaborations.
Its themes will be rooted in the unique heritage and character of Bradford and will reveal the magic of the district that is held in its people, its ambition, and above all, its potential.

FFS the only ‘culture’ you’ll find in Bradford are the bacteria cells breeding in the kebab shops.

International news media happy to create fake news. The BBC is in there too of course.
Israel Folau is an Australian rugby player who expressed politically incorrect views on the gender issue which threatened his place in the Wallabies a couple of years ago. This was big news down under. I don’t know if it was covered much in the Northern hemisphere, but the International fake news media are all joined together in trying to make us believe that a crowd of over thirty thousand rugby fans were disgusted by his very presence on the field.
A splendid example of how the Leftard media works.

DOJ watchdog finds Comey violated policies with private memos about Trump
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/29/doj-watchdog-finds-comey-violated-policies-with-private-memos-about-trump-1477698
The Justice Department decided not to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey for retaining memos about interactions with the Trump White House and for disclosing one such memo to the media, the agency’s internal watchdog said in a report released Thursday.
However, the withering new report from DOJ’s Office of Inspector General sharply criticizes Comey for violating FBI and Justice Department policies on handling information about sensitive law enforcement investigations. Notably, though, the document clears Comey of allegations that he leaked classified information.

Vile’s thug scores an own goal.
Guess it’s back to that idiot Femi now.
Ex bbc Newsnight Brexit thug JO’bsworth channels an FT poll.
If I recall – in the brexit campaign similar polls were done to prove that the UK was for ‘remaining ‘ from the msm to polling companies to celebrities we were going to ‘remain ‘- except that was a lie .
The state is still for ‘remain ‘- sunak could care less and Johnson believes in nothing except Johnson and breeding –
– it was a miracle that we sort of left ….but back in by 2030 ….
Polls, studies, and… media ‘news’.
Most in media don’t live in the countryside , but have second homes there. And travel between them in Teslas.
Leaving behind their diverse community heroes.
Meanwhile, on public transport…
Stabby stabby, Jez… get scythes on them hubs.
Civilisation at its finest. God help us. And wall-to-wall ad nauseam coverage on the BBC to look forward to.
I’ve said it before. Don’t allow anybody to leave until there isn’t a single piece of rubbish lying around.
Reply to Fedup2 above
As I recall the ‘everybody is going to vote remain’ vibe was everywhere right down to Cameron saying he was going to vote ‘remain’ and that he would still be PM whatever happens (that went well).
Reason Brexit didn’t work as intended was that there was NO PLAN for it.
The Government, so convinced by MSM, polls, celebs and the Civil Service that remain would win by a landslide no one had even considered that remain would fail.
Hence the chaos we still have today as all the stuff the leavers thought would happen afterwards, didn’t.
No one in Government, present or future, really cares.
The drift back to the EU is slow but your 2030 estimate is about right and the ‘blob’ will get is own way again.
https://memory-holed-news.blogspot.com/2023/05/david-cameron-i-will-back-peoples.html
Never trust a man who, when asked what he considered to be his proudest moment as prime minister, answered ‘gay marriage’.
Jazz – thanks – 2030 is based on the premise that a re elected red Labour Party will use the fixed election after the next election as a sort of ‘referendum ‘ to rejoin ( if we ever left ) …
The assurances the ReichEU will give to the UK to rejoin will add to the huge pressure building up in the second half of the 2020s with a theme such as ‘ the ReichEU ‘ has improved since the brexit vote and the UK will get ‘special treatment ‘ and be treated ‘differently ‘….
All lies of course
Plus the line about those who were stupid enough to vote brexit are mainly dead now – so it’s a ‘different country ‘ – with resident EU citizens who can vote in UK elections ….
Brexit is doomed … all part of the ‘plan’ …
Fed, Red Labour are doing their level best to lose the next General Election. Starmer – I think – wants out and he could resign after an Election loss without losing face: hence his current string of ‘Vote Conservative’ Labour policy announcements.
Up2
Yes – it’s difficult to understand . Surely he -Starmer – must be able to convince his people to keep their mouths shut – no policies – just sit and wait …
I realise the far left is far less disciplined than the blue labour lot. … maybe they haven’t learnt the lesson that focus groups and polls don’t necessarily work out on polling day – or maybe they are as out of touch with tax payers as the blue labour lot are…
How is he not going to lose face when I suspect most people, Labour supporters included, already think he’s a useless cock?
Poll of how many people? All from the BBC?>
GW,
Surely graphs have been mixed up? The one shown must be Climate Change? It will do for that purpose.

Hi Fedup
I remember when bBC did do “news” and did do “comedy”
I must be really old 🙂
Fedup,
I don’t expect that you can manage to read every post on the site but I know that you are interested in the RAF , so I recommend reading How the War was Won by Phillips Payson O’Brien which is a comprehensive look at how UK and USA used air and sea power to beat the Axis powers .
The author demonstrates that without allied supplies via Artic Convoys and the and the relentless bombing of German munitions production by the RAF and USAAF the Soviets couldn’t have resisted the German army even if they had sacrificed even more soldiers than the 12 to 15 million that they lost.
Japan was being steadily throttled by the US navy and the USAAF fire raids before the atom bombs were dropped obviating the need for a very bloody invasion. Early surrender also kept the Soviets out of Japan.
The book is full of tables , graphs and quotes from the Allied Grand Strategy makers and conclusively rebuts all the revisionist history that the Strategic Bombing Offensive was ineffective and a waste of resources.
Double
Sadly I do read most posts – although I exclude ‘marky ‘ because of the age of the comments and the repetition – which does my head in …
… but since you raise the WW2 air war – you’ve given me the opportunity to review ‘big week’ (James Holland ) – when the combination of an ever strengthening RAF and US air force smashed Germany .
Although the book covers a lot of well known stuff – such as the evolution of the P51 and bomber tactics -it does highlight the huge advantage US pilots had over Germans – a lot of US pilots had 100s of hours learning to fly and then fights- whereas the Germans had fewer hours, planes and fuel . It’s amazing they lasted as long as they did.
The shortcomings of senior command ( with hindsite ) is often embarrassing – such as the slowness in realising the value of fighter escorts all the way too and from Germany – as well as target selection itself .
But the cost in crews and aircraft ? Perhaps it cost us – the UK – far too much …. The loss of all those high quality young men cost us dear . We are still paying the price ….
I’m onto The Cruel Sea now .. but will look at the book you suggest …..
I do wonder about the cost the US paid in the Pacific when it was all ‘resolved ‘ by 2 nuclear weapons …. I think it was a pity one wasn’t developed quick enough to drop on Berlin while hitler was there…
Saves leaving the cubicles.
And all can be ‘verified’ online.
Reports suggest.
BBC PRasNews is now almost completely comprised of approved press releases emailed to the cubicles, vetted, and then copy pasted.
They probably block emails form unapproved sources as they do on twitter.
Live in a bubble… fine until it pops.
Today
The bee lady becomes more repulsive . She it interviewing some blue labour drone called Mel stride . The repulsive bee lady wants more – free this free that – controlled food costs . I was waiting for her to suggest nationalising all supermarkets –
The hapless ‘Tory ‘ started listed all the recent give aways and benefits increased – paid for by increased taxes on people actually working as well as printing more money any borrowing more money ….
I don’t understand why blue labour think throwing money at benefits junkies is gonna get them votes . It won’t . The junkies will just want a bigger fix
Maybe when they are out of office they might realise that ….
I can see the level of control the bbc wants pushing this country into becoming an Eastern European soviet one where we are told all is well when in fact only ‘approved ‘ party members live a life worth living .
Sometimes it’s good not to be ‘young ‘…
Apparently Sunak is a great lover of honey and believes that all apiaries should be confiscated , without compensation to the owners , and run by Albanians who are famous for their honey. After all true socialism demands that there is no private property .
Fed,
Thought For Today, today. A new voice. That of another “Siddiqui”. Can’t remember the first name. Nepotism at work? Carrying on the families work for the BBC. No doubt another muslim. Let’s remember that, “Siddiq” is Arabic for, ‘Friend’. The addition of ‘ui’ makes it, ‘my friend’.
No friends of mine.
Fedup2 ,
Remember when Lenin and Russia were the BBC and Labour Heroes ? …..we’ll keep the Red Flag flying and all that , Lord Mandelson and his Russian Billionaire boy friend rarely mentioned now ! . Putin doesn’t get a lookin …..wrong sort of Russian then ? , USSR could do no wrong but Russian Federation obviously not good enough for our BBC and their political wing the Labour Party !

The crux of the issue of the dodgy dossier for me is why was it was prepared by Campbell at all. Campbell was a PR spin guru for Bliar.

It said over the year, 760,000 people used a food bank in its network for the first time, an increase of 38% year-on-year. This included an unprecedented rise in the number of employed people, who are no longer able to balance a low income against rising living costs.25 Apr 2023

seems obvious to me that many will take advantage, so no wonder the number has gone up, as MSM have pushed the food bank story for 2/3 years now.

Civil Service values
The statutory basis for the management of the Civil Service is set out in Part 1 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010.
The Civil Service is an integral and key part of the government of the United Kingdom[footnote 1]. It supports the government of the day in developing and implementing its policies, and in delivering public services. Civil servants are accountable to ministers[footnote 2], who in turn are accountable to Parliament[footnote 3].
As a civil servant, you are appointed on merit on the basis of fair and open competition and are expected to carry out your role with dedication and a commitment to the Civil Service and its core values: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. In this code:
‘integrity’ is putting the obligations of public service above your own personal interests
‘honesty’ is being truthful and open
‘objectivity’ is basing your advice and decisions on rigorous analysis of the evidence
‘impartiality’ is acting solely according to the merits of the case and serving equally well governments of different political persuasions

Ukraine and warfare:
https://sonar21.com/the-importance-of-uniform-as-ukraine-contemplates-an-offensive/
So look at Ukraine’s problem. Ukrainian soldiers are not being instructed at Ukrainian bases on Ukrainian soil by Ukrainian officers. Nope. Ukrainian troops are being trained in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, France and Italy. Would you be surprised to learn that each of those countries employ different methods for teaching everything from marksmanship, marching, unit maneuvers and personal hygiene? I am not suggesting that the respective NATO countries are doing a poor job of training the Ukrainian units under their care. However, once those Ukrainian troops return home and are deployed to the front lines it is highly likely that a unit trained in the United Kingdom will operate differently from a unit trained in France. In other words, lack of uniformity. That creates a command and control challenge.
Lack of uniformity also is a problem because of the variety of weapons issued to Ukrainian troops. Anti-tank weapons illustrates the dilemma. The photos below show a British NLAW and a U.S. Javelin missile. Both are designed to kill a tank, but the procedures a soldier must follow to fire a NLAW differs from a Javelin. The Javelin, for example, is equipped with an optic, the NLAW is not. I am not saying that a soldier cannot be trained to use both. Of course they can. But the reality is that these anti-tank weapons are being delivered to Ukrainian troops who have not had the opportunity to go through a training regimen to make them proficient in either or both.
https://sonar21.com/the-importance-of-uniform-as-ukraine-contemplates-an-offensive/
We see the same discord when it comes to the tanks, vehicles and planes that have been or will be supplied to Ukraine. This diversity adds another level of complexity because of the various maintenance requirements for these systems. It means you need an ample supply of spare parts and, most importantly, trained technicians who know how to do the mechanical work maintain or repair the vehicle or aircraft.

“United in diversity”, the motto of the European Union, first came into use in 2000. It signifies how Europeans have come together, in the form of the EU, to work for peace and prosperity, while at the same time being enriched by the continent’s many different cultures, traditions and languages.

From the DT – the guardian and its’ high moral ground
STARTS
When the Left-wing commentator Nick Cohen left The Observer in November on “health grounds”, his bosses praised his “brilliant” and “incisive” journalism as they wished him the best for his future.
What they did not mention was that Mr Cohen left the newspaper with a settlement following complaints of sexual harassment that spanned a period of 17 years.
Guardian News and Media (GNM), which owns The Observer and The Guardian, has now been accused of a cover-up after seven women claimed they were harassed by him both inside and outside the workplace.
Some of his alleged victims have accused GNM of failing to act on complaints they made to managers over a period of years.
For his part, Mr Cohen has claimed that his downfall was the result of a bitter internal row over transgender rights that has opened a schism at the centre of The Guardian.
The fallout from the Cohen affair has also prompted recriminations at the Financial Times (FT), where an investigation by a prominent journalist into the goings-on at The Guardian was spiked by the business newspaper’s editor.

In the Daily Mail this morning there’s a mistake (I think)
Can you spot it.
I’ve copied and pasted the relevant bit below:
These snaps will leave you grateful that you don’t have these workers’ jobs. (Pictured clockwise from L: Pizza workers in Texas are shattered after a hard shit, a builder accidentally traps himself in concrete, and a supermarket worker smashes several crates of wine).
TOADY Watch#1 – Nick Robinson is feeling cold ….
…. so in a rare moment of honesty for a Met Office presenter, Sarah Keith Lucas, admits “It is cold.” Something to do with the cloud, she says. “And the wind direction, straight off the Russian Steppe”, I said but Sarah doesn’t hear me.
The West of England is benefitting from the nor’Easterly and the UHI-effect (that’s Urban Heat Island, Fed) and will have the warmest temperatures for those lucky people in the sunshine in Somerset.
Up2.
It’s a balmy 11 degrees here in Sunderland right now. (11 o clock am)
Hoping to reach 14 degrees next week if we’re lucky.
Typical government, promising global warming but failing to deliver.
Here the forecast max is 14C
Now more of this fine mist rain, like yesterday
the neighbours are doing the garden, wearing big overcoats
One is wearing one of those Russian hats
Next actual rain is June 13th
For Cornwall it’s June 8th
Down in taffland its 16C so far, but on the radio we hear “it could be the hottest day of the year” !
Of course, every year has a hottest day of the year , even on the North Pole .
Idiots . Or “Nudge” at work ?
Same in east anglia, it’s bloody cold. I’m wearing two jumpers and the heating’s clicked on.
If the civil snowflakes are allowed to only work on the issues they agree with then logically others should be able to do the same.
Would Firemen not put out fires on buildings if the owner or business was a UKIP voter.
Would surgeons only operate on lefties and leave those on the right to die.
Would soldiers only fight in wars which they thought were good ones, Falklands good, Ireland bad type of thing.
Would the police only harass and arrest those it disliked but allow those it agreed with to carry on….in fact, that’s already happening so disregard that.
Are the rest of us in the ‘normal’ world going to be allowed to only do work tasks we agree with.
These civil snowflakes need a massive rocket up their ar*es and most need sacking and be replaced by people actually willing to do the job they are (well) paid to do.
‘impartiality’ is acting solely according to the merits of the case and serving equally well governments of different political persuasions

I dont want you to think Im nasty , but I wish all senior civil servants grade 5 and above would die a violent and unnatural death tonight .
I’d prefer something more immediate. I’m sick of their prevaricating.
Why are we seeing more of Alistaire Campbell now than when he was power behind the scenes when Labour were in office ?
Nibor – I think Campbell has personal knowledge ( files ) on a lot of msm types . Also – he is a known performer – but generally stays within permitted BBCOFCOM guidelines – and I bet he knows plenty at BBCOFCOM too …

Tell MAMA (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) speech {by Baroness Warsi – jan2013 }
https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/tell-mama-measuring-anti-muslim-attacks-speech
“The negative perception of Muslims. An underlying, unfounded mistrust. A misinformed suspicion of people who follow Islam.
…
Now it’s our duty to counteract this perception of Muslims. (a perception problem is different to facing the truth) To those who say that there is a conflict of being loyal to Britain and a Muslim, you have to look no further than Mohamed Farah. Our national hero is a practising Muslim. The double gold medallist saw no conflict between crossing the finish line in the Union Flag and dropping to the ground in prayer.(was the flag submitting to Allah in this display of Patriotism?) In fact, he showed how seamlessly religion and patriotism can go together.
…
As one survey revealed (no reference given), 83% of Muslims said they were proud to be British, compared to 79% of Britons overall.”
But we have conflicting data …83% Muslims proud to be British verses 1% Muslims want Freedom of Speech/Press
“…BBC poll in 2015 found that 27% of British Muslims had quote ‘Some sympathy’ (27% or a third) for the people who went into the offices of Charlie Hebdo and killed the cartoonists, editors and journalists there. Channel 4 poll from last year (2015), found that only 1% of UK Muslims think that publications should have the right to publish the cartoons of Mohammed.”
– Douglas Murray (2016?)
Public money funded promo for Warsi and that twat – what’s not to like?

Mike Graham has clashed with a Labour MP after she praised crowds who chanted “f**k the Tories” at a festival in Warrington.
In a tweet, MP for Warrington North Charlotte Nichols said: “Big chants of ‘f**k the Tories’ for Jamie Webster at NBHD Weekender and, I can’t lie, I absolutely LOVE to see it! Love you Warrington.”
Charlotte joined Mike Graham on his show to discuss why she praised the chants.
Mike said: “You as an elected representative and someone who has spoken out about the dangers of abuse online, shouldn’t be encouraging it!”
Mike “You’ve talked a lot in the past about the toxicity of social media
and how unfortunate things that are said on the internet can lead to problems in real life
and I thought to myself well hang on a minute this is a bit of a hypocritical tweet to put out isn’t it ?
MP @charlotte2153 “I don’t think it is, because the sorts of things that I’m talking about are some of the conspiracy theories around vaccines
misinformation that’s put out about various people
It’s those sorts of things that I’m talking about
I don’t think a generic chants about a political party is part of that kind of toxicity (dimwit)
and I don’t think that it can be considered an incitement to violence ”
Mike :”but don’t you think that if you go around saying things like f the Tories that that will encourage people to hate the Tories and hate people who are Tories ? …”
He is right imagine if a concert crowd said “fk the Muslims”
Not too far from making ‘tories ‘ wear a badge . After all the Far Left already call on boycotts of businesses …. Nice touch of the 1930s that …
MM,
“130000 killed……”
Small numbers. If the Davos cabal (via Rich Sunak & Co) have their wicked way we shall soon see starvation on a massive scale. Worldwide and the object of the exercise. The dictators / totalitarians ‘go-to’ to kill off the population. It worked for Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and many of their juniors so why not try it again since Covid failed to achieve the same endings.
Happy days…………
MP ” I love the fact that people are blaming who is responsible for their problems rather than scapegoating people that aren’t responsible which the government’s been trying to get them to do”
Mike “but you’ve said I’ve had someone come to my office with a knife before
I’ve had physical violence against me and then she says a lot of that has been whipped up by things that have been said online don’t you think that’s what you’ve just done ?”
MP “No it has been whipped up by things that have been said online including all sorts of grand conspiracy theories”
…
Mike “so you think people should hate the Tories then ?”
MP “I think people should HATE the government yeah
Mike “You also said this –I think ultimately that in all of us in some form of public life whether it’s in the council chamber or the Chamber of Westminster need to be modeling a good kind of debate that is based on policies and not personal attacks–
How is that in any way uequal to what you’ve endorsed ?”
MP “again show me where it’s a personal attack on anyone”
Mike “well you’re basically encouraging people to hate the Tories”
She goes for the “ah well I mean the government, not individuals” angle #SOPHISTRY
I can tell you all that Rayner thinks she is Royalty and expects people she meets to treat her as such. I can’t say how I know this. She’s a fake champagne socialist upstart
In politics, as in media, the gap between what is thought and reality can be vast.
https://fb.watch/kS-xYW6lWQ/
Mike “why is it I hate Tories okay
and I hate Jews not okay ?”
MP “because the Tories are in government
and have given people reason to hate them”
…. MP “it’s just utterly bizarre !
Mike “well you think it’s bizarre because you’re so removed from reality”
MP “I’m the one that’s removed from reality me ?”
Mike “yeah you are you are actually
have you looked at some of the comments underneath ?”
Mike You tweeted on Jan Jan 15 about Suella Braverman
–Fk her and fk you.–”
That obviously contradicts her line
“I think ultimately that in all of us in some form of public life whether it’s in the council chamber or the Chamber of Westminster need to be modeling a good kind of debate that is based on policies and not personal attacks“
Mike “can you define a woman for me please Charlotte”
MP “blah blah Tories !”
Mike “I just asked you what a woman is .. what are you giving me a speech for ? .. what’s a woman ?
MP “this is just it’s a ridiculous question, a woman is a female”
Mike “why does Keir Starmer think some females have penises ?”
MP “because The Equality Act says that they can”
Mike “so you think it so you think a woman can have a penis ?”
MP ” legally since 2010 yes they can”
…..
End bit
MP “I hate The Tories ! … blah blah”
…
Mike : “and you don’t think that that is in any way encouraging violence against Tory MPs do you ?
MP “No I don’t
and I think it’s pathetic that you’re trying to claim that it is ”
Mike “well I think you’re terribly totally hypocritical”
Then when a woman points out saying “Fk the Tories” makes it dangerous for young female aspiring Tory politicians .. the MP replies back with a sneer tweet https://twitter.com/charlotte2153/status/1662559093138116609
Oh people exposed even more hypocrisy

I see another “green” energy corp titsup and owing people money – can’t be many left…
If it ain’t on the BBC it didn’t happen.

“AN INVESTIGATION could be launched into an energy company which went bust owing more than £1million to livid customers.”

As a start anyone with ECOTRICITY should move to another supplier…..Dale Vince who owns it funds Just Stop Oil and probably other Idiots as well , Nothing changes in life Vince is just another Snake Oil Salesman….one of my Daughters used to work for him Nuff said .

The sooner Vince and his ilk have the public funding teat pulled away – the better.
They couldn’t trade normally and depend on a carnival of subsidy that is imho just criminal.
Exactly , it’s always been a con and stupid people think they’re saving the planet by buying so called ‘Green Power’ ……buy a commodity at a low price and sell high simple , some of the Stroud Greens think all they’re Power comes from the local wind turbine ha ha ! !
Bit vexed now . How come the holly / Phil thing is still running – if sodomy is legal between consenting adults surely there’s nothing to see – particularly amongst amoral TV journo types …
Fedup. It has months to run yet. MP’s planning to question ITV executives. After all that’s what I voted my MP in for. Then a judicial enquiry. Perhaps a documentary, (careful with the title ‘Schofields reached the bottom’ or ‘The rise and fall of Philip’ may be inappropriate), a book or two, not forgetting the inevitable musical. The only hope is for some other ‘newsworthy story’ equally banal and boring to come along in the meantime.
Call that trivia? Now, THIS is…
Verify may differ, but it seems to be poor saps who think they have to.
Hello Fedup
Maybe the bBC is to do a month long “reminder” of Jimmy Saville, just so we dont forget what happened on the bbc’s watch
It’s quite bizarre.
As much as I dislike the nasty chirpy chipmunk, all I can work out he did wrong was have a gay affair and didn’t tell anyone because he was a married public figure. I reckon half the people in the dirty luvvie business have secrets like Phil.
Now the media have done what they do best : ganged up together and vilified him completely and his back is full of knives.
So as pleased as I am I won’t have to stumble across him when I turn the TV on, it all stinks to high heaven and I can only assume that – as usual – there is far more to this story than we are being told. It is likely everybody in the business knows he is like his brother (like they all knew about Saville) – but without actual evidence, they dare not say it. Then when it breaks they are on it like a pack of hyenas.

Dear Marianna Spring (BBC wages paid under threat of prosecution),
As I’ve had to look at your BBC news and use other sources to determine that your news is not news but selective editorial opinion I’d like to request that I have a refund for the last 4 years plus get the BBC free from now on.
Please let me know how I can go about this as I am willing to create a full list of articles that I’ve had to investigate plus time taken for me to check your fact checker whilst realising that the BBC intentionally removes news rather than incorrectly report on it, uses images to sway opinion or misleads with the main titles hoping no one reads the full article.
‘Omission is the greatest form of lie.’
CAS-4987700-SY1FTF : BBC NewsWatch says boredom with pro-Brexit march.
CAS-4844672-N8FDYY: Update on the MP Expenses 2009 scandal in 2018.
CAS-4939547-J71Z1V: Here’s hoping Ireland do the right thing G.Lineker.
CAS-4937378-YKMWBJ: BBC not reporting ‘Day of Freedom’ March 06may2018.
CAS-4906141-BFJQL0: I take offence that presenters promote their books.
CAS-4892811-C820SC: I am offended that I have to pay the BBC TV Tax.
CAS-4824332-633N1P: What happened in Italy was not covered …
CAS-4933135-ZV3V7F: The omission is the most powerful form of lie …
CAS-6005141-S1V9D1: Not seen a report on the UK Governments Covid19
Let me know how to go about resolving the issue of paying for something that wastes my time as I have to check each story rather than rely on its accuracy.
Cheers,
Mark

‘Gammon’ was surely made for Jimbo? And his acolytes. He’d fit right in that striker Getty earlier.
The odious hypocrite is getting desperate now.
And many comments suggests the fatigue is with his miseralbist, single track ideologically isolated schtick.
He is always right ..
The sports ministers of five European countries have urged broadcasters and Fifa to “quickly reach an agreement” on Women’s World Cup TV rights, with only 50 days until the tournament begins.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino threatened a European TV blackout if rights offers were not improved.

We know the BBC has been given emergency funding plus additional funding from the British Government to produce anti-Russian sentiment among the British public including incitement to hate. The following gives the homepage headline and a link to a bbc article that is currently the leader on their international website and in their world news section:
“Ukraine mothers go behind enemy lines to save stolen children: Russia is taking Ukrainian children. Their mothers are travelling into enemy territory to save them.”

If anyone has the the time to read it and comment upon it I will be grateful.

Ashamed to say my sister in law and one of her sprogs is vegan, every time it gets me wanting a bacon sandwich when I think of them. Oh well full English breakfast for main meal tonight.
Mrs Kitty ,
I know someone who is a food flavour Scientist and works for one of the large companies , any flavour you like as long as there’s big profit ! , I wouldn’t eat any of these meat free products…..you would be shocked to know what happens when things go wrong…let’s just say nothing ever gets wasted !
The hugely fanfared shelves showing vegan muck were going to be the way forward for the supermarkets a couple of years ago, but somehow the stuff they chuck up there doesn’t seem quite as popular as they thought nowadays!
The hideously expensive price for such crap is an off-putter for a start, and to see such idiotic marketing campaign for ‘plant-burgers’ is just ridiculous!
I wonder how many food banks, (funded by normal citizens in these supermarkets), have vegan rubbish chucked in?
“As more and more people turn to plant-based food”
Hardly. Oatly, Nestle, Innocent Drinks and Heck Sausages have all cut their ranges due to insufficient demand, sales in the UK have stagnated, whilst the share price of some manufacturers and suppliers has plummeted. This article was published less than two weeks ago (trigger warning: it’s The Guardian).
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/may/20/has-the-vegan-bubble-burst-sales-stagnate-in-uk-as-brands-withdraw-plant-based-products
As above, Ian – you’re better informed than me because you read something in the grauniad, and I hope you’ve recovered by now!
The vegan shelves in out Tesco are hidden by all sorts of stuff normal citizens hardly ever stock up with, like weedkiller and shoe polish…
Marianna Spring on the case? BBC Verify investigating the Grayzone?
