So the title invoking an ex employee seems apt.
As does the undeniable FACT that the BBc, of all public bodies, uses and abuses the FOI act here more than anyone.
“The chief way you know the new version of transparency is a fraud is that it’s limited to “qualified” researchers. We’re even seeing lately news stories sourced to some of these same “researchers” complaining about having to comply with FOIA requests (a few of which are being made by Racket and partner publications). Ideologically, these self-appointed intellectual vanguards do not believe information is for everyone, nor do they believe they should have to answer to the people funding their “research,” while simultaneously believing that private companies and individuals should get used to the principle of endless inquiry.
When the meanings of noble words are turned inside out, we have to pay attention, and this example is about as infamous as this sort of thing gets. Don’t let anyone tell you transparency means surrendering your privacy to the state. It’s supposed to be the other way around.”

………………..
The Dame Janet Smith report into Jimmy Savile and the BBC has been published. It contains the following key points:
At least 72 people were sexually abused by Savile in connection with his work at the BBC, including eight victims who were raped. There was also one attempted rape. The youngest rape victim was 10 years old
The offending took place from 1959 to 2006, mostly in the 1970s
The largest number of victims was in connection with Savile’s work on the BBC’s Top of the Pops programme
Like Savile, former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall was a serial sexual predator, targeting and grooming young girls
Hall abused at least 21 victims, eight of whom were girls under the age of 16. The youngest was 10
Both men used their fame and positions of celebrity to engage in “monstrous behaviour”
The culture of the BBC enabled Savile and Hall’s offending to go undetected for decades
The BBC missed at least five opportunities to stop the abuse

Interesting mindset that there are / have been plenty of letby s in the NHS busily covered up by the medical mafia / HR.

Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.
The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.
Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

Fact check: The ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ fighter pilot

There must be loads of right old bangers which have no way of passing the next mot, lots of cars now worthless with some fatal engine or chassis fault ready to be scrapped which are now worth £2000
Perhaps some electric cars which need a new

BBC on the skids.. no new audience and now the older TV license payers want out (those over 65 refuse to pay for all the BBC crap on TV). And the ‘yoof’ (racially black or white) not that interested in paying for it either. Even the BBC iPlayer only gets just 18% despite heavy BBC ‘on air’ advertising and is effectively ‘free’ in UK. It can only get worse…. and that is the next TV license Charter review, the BBC is clearly unsustainable in its present form, and it refuses to go via subscription… it wants to have a (Labour) national UK income tax ‘levy’ for all its ‘unbiased opinions’, sexual perversions and its wobbly climate predictions.

I wonder how much the prosecution cost – I noticed BBC radio didn’t touch NHS incompetence with a f-ing bargepole – that I heard on TWATO or pm anyrate.
I know somebody who was investigating this outrageous incident – and he said it was the tip of an iceberg… If electronic records / official work email are used then there must be an offsite archive copy that is not accessible to trust IT staff… Imposing a gag order on staff when it’s found to be for nefarious purpose should be criminal offence and attract a custodial sentence.

Peter Tatchell has never advocated sex with children
but you can see why people think he has
He wrote in praise of intergenerational relationships, when he was in one with an older map.
He wrote a chapter in a dodgy book
” I had no idea PIE involved”
“I was tricked into writing for that book.
My chapter did not advocate reducing the age of consent or in any way mention or condone paedophilia, which I condemn”
He has tweeted hundreds of times that he condemns it.
He then argues that when he wrote a review praising the book one year later, he had been tricked again and the review had been drafted by a friend .
I believe Tatchell was quite young at the time.
Rather spare reporting on the MH excuse front in this piece. Court procedure / rules?

In a couple of weeks we have a village meeting to update us on a proposal to install a large wind turbine on common land within a mile of the village. The proposal is largely the work of a few local activists who are working with an eco electricity company.
Most folk here have swallowed the climate catastrophe narrative and could perhaps be persuaded to see this turbine as part of doing their bit for the climate.
I am going to oppose it on the , to me, very reasonable grounds that the climate catastrophe is nothing more than a prediction which comes from very complex models that can give any answer you want. . If they can’t predict the weather next month how can they predict the climate thirty years hence?
In thinking about how best to try and influence my fellow villagers I have realised that I have , to use a fashionable phrase, been on a journey since I retired twelve years ago.A journey which I think many other site users have shared with me and to which this site has been an important contributor.
I used to believe that politicians had the best interests of the country at heart , even Labour ones who may have been misguided but weren’t anti British. But now I know that almost all politicians , regardless of party , put hyperglobalism first and our country a long way last. The LibLabCon coalition doesn’t want to stop the invasion but it does want to impose Net Zero on us. They say AI will do away with millions of low skilled jobs but they continue to import a million low skilled invaders each year, crazy.
Once you see our politics from this perspective it easy to realise that we are very likely being conned about the climate and NZ as we were about Covid . But how do you convince those who haven’t even started the journey that we on this site have taken? Many of these folks probably still believe the BBC tells the truth! I can’t think of an answer.
It’s illegal to build anything on common land unless it benefits the land.
It is a criminal offence to undertake any act which interrupts the use or enjoyment of a green as a place for exercise and recreation or to cause any damage to the green.
It is an offence to drive over a registered town or village green without lawful authority and in certain other circumstances.
It is deemed to be a public nuisance and therefore, an offence, to enclose or encroach on a green, or interfere with, disturb or build on a green, unless this is done “with a view to the better enjoyment of such town or village green.”
Indeed but I suspect that the activists and the company will have a much stronger case when they apply for planning permission if they can demonstrate that they have public support from the village. I’m sure that eventually there will be a vote as to whether the village supports the turbine or not. Some sweeteners will be offered , perhaps cheaper electricity, or cut of the profits etc and of course as NZ gets closer the county planners will look with increasing approval at such proposals.
Let’s wait till NZ really does get closer. It won’t happen soon.
Boats admission on the lips in this ambitious but amorphous edition
Boat admission. Plans to stop the boats may not succeed before the next election, Rishi Sunak has said (Times) – note how we need no further prompt than the word boats to know what it is we’re talking about here in the Times frontpage news snippets in brief section.
Having taught us to say small boats we see the abbreviated version boats will now suffice. Whatever various terms that may be applied – indeed the very issue of illegal entry clouded as it is in liberal minds with notions of asylum – is in fact no more than a handy cypher and/or distraction for mass immigration – a phenomenon our authorities have no intention of acting to curb. And after that election it won’t matter, will it, Rishi?
From his seat-warmer to the man himself, Sir Keir… he’s getting down with the kids: Starmer: if I was 18 now I could not afford to go to university (Telegraph) – we note the podium for this latest holiday season Labour PR puff: …raising the prospect Labour will announce plans to help students with the cost of living – shifts up market a notch from Sir Keir’s usual platform in the Times to the traditional Tory-central perch in the Telegraph
Just look how far Labour has shifted up market since: Neil Kinnock’s speech to the Welsh Labour Party conference in Llandudno… 15 May 1987: “Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?” (Almeida Theatre, ‘At a time of political turmoil, unprecedented world events and an increasingly divided society, what does inspiring leadership sound like?‘ Neil Kinnock, apparently)
Starmer: if I was 18…
Back in 1981 the significantly titled band Altered Images fronted by the adorable Clare Grogan came out with the catchy ditty Happy Birthday
If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me and I was you
Would you have liked a present too?
So the present incumbent either can’t or won’t stop the boats or even address the wider issue of legal hyper-immigration (Mr AsI likes the term hyper as his preferred prefix since it conveys the sense of excessive quantity as something over and above the normal as well as hinting at the sheer speed of demographic alteration we are undergoing – perforce)
Then what can the government do for us?
Well, we’re guessing a little tweak of the law to provide a bit of theatre here should satisfy the media mob: Demands for Government to compel convicts to attend court – and listen to devastation of victims (‘i’)

The Dragonfly project was an Internet search engine prototype created by Google that was designed to be compatible with China’s state censorship provisions.[1][2][3] The public learned of Dragonfly’s existence in August 2018, when The Intercept leaked an internal memo written by a Google employee about the project.[4][5] In December 2018, Dragonfly was reported to have “effectively been shut down” after a clash with members of the privacy team within Google.[6] However, according to employees, work on Dragonfly was still continuing as of March 2019, with some 100 people still allocated to it.[7]
In July 2019, Google announced that work on Dragonfly had been terminated.[8]

Big firms’ bosses pay up by 16% as most workers are squeezed
Some of the UK’s biggest companies gave their bosses pay rises averaging almost 16% last year, at a time when wages for most workers were being squeezed by the rising cost of living. Analysis by the think tank the High Pay Centre shows that the median pay for a FTSE 100 chief executive was £3.91m. On average those bosses earned 118 times more than a typical worker on £33,000 a year. Critics say that’s extreme but some of the firms argue it’s in line with competitors.

Appealing to anyone in the HoC is pointless.
In any case, if govt. supported #propagandabackedbycensorship systems are to be concerned about, start with The BBC.
“there’s no such thing as a British person” – then there are no Muslims or Africans! touché!
‘According to studies, the London Underground is higher in particulate matter due to wheel, track and brake abrasion, producing predominantly iron-rich particles so small that they are often not picked up in regular air quality tests.11 Jun 2023
MM,
Do they suggest any means by which I can reduce the ‘abrasion’ between my footwear and the ground I walk on………………
pug; “you’ll get an outsider’s view on the news affecting you”
Most of the people in this country already get this each time they watch the BBC.
Just in case my earlier post re Tucker Carlsons tweet didn’t work for you:

Carlson begins with a bold statement: “pretty much everything that NBC and The NYTimes have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie.”
“‘The Russian army is incompetent’ – they claim. ‘Ukraine is a Democracy!’ ‘Vladimir Putin is Hitler and he’s trying to take over the world!’ ‘Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning.’
“Every claim is false, the last one especially,” said Carlson, adding “the Ukrainian army is not winning – in fact, it’s losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed. Its population is being slaughtered.”
Thanks Eddy. Hadn’t realised the Carlson interview with Douglas Macgregor was on Youtube
Verify’s Shayan in action here dispelling fake news on the Maui fires.
Remember “BBC Verify is a highly specialised team with a range of forensic and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities that enable them to go beyond conventional newsroom techniques.”
And not a bunch of teenagers mucking around with Google images delighted not to have to work at dad’s barbershop any more.
‘Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)’
That would be google.
They are going out of their way to try and portray ‘BBC verify’ as some kind of higher-level ‘oracle’ of the truth.
The trouble is – like Marianna – they are only directed to ‘research’ topics where the end result is in favour of the agenda. And if what they find is not convenient, you can be sure they won’t tell us about it.
As you say, a bunch of kids having a lark browsing the internet all day. Along with their ‘trusted news’ service, it’s all part of their culture war against the Right. Which is why it really irks me that the public have to pay for it – even though most do not agree with them.
If they haven’t already, the Verify team are going to get dihydrogen monoxided aren’t they?

Last year, the College of Psychologists of Ontario conducted an investigation of Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychiatrist and one of Canada’s leading intellectuals over some of his public statements and Tweets. The College ordered him to complete a Specified Continuing Education or Remedial Program (SCERP) which is designed to address issues regarding professionalism in public statements.
In January 2020, the long-time columnist of Denver Post, Jon Caldera was sacked over the piece he wrote that month and in which he said that there were only two sexes (male and female).
In April 2023 in Norway, one Rianne Vogels, employee of a non-profit company Papillon which helps migrant young women was fired for tweeting that there are “only two genders.”
On Friday, 22 January 2022, German Vice-Admiral Kay-Achim Schoenbach, speaking at an event organized by an Indian think tank in New Delhi suggested that the easiest, low-cost solution to the Ukraine crisis was to deal with Vladimir Putin with respect: “… it is easy to give him the respect he really demands – and probably also deserves.” He also blundered to state that Crimea was “gone” and “will never come back – this is a fact.” German Defence Ministry immediately distanced itself from the Admiral who was pressured into resigning.

Downie declared that, “What we found has convinced us that truth-seeking news media must move beyond whatever ‘objectivity’ once meant to produce more trustworthy news.” The mood was corroborated by San Francisco Chronicle’s editor-in-chief, Emilio Garcia-Ruiz who said, “Objectivity has got to go.” Stanford University’s journalism professor Ted Glasser stated that journalism needed to “free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.”
No sunak?
Is that ‘our’ Klaus to the right?
