In football land many people just get the goals on social media
they don’t have to watch Football Focus anymore
but people argue BBC axing Dan Walker and putting in a woman is killing the show
The collapse in ratings of BBC’s Saturday show Football focus ( from 849 to 564K ) coincides with Alex Scott taking over as presenter from Dan Walker. It could be the show’s no longer relevant. Or the audience don’t want Ms Scott. I know which argument I support.
I’m prejudiced against wimmin ex footballers talking about real footy in the prem and championship – they have as much experience of it as I have . But they are paid to talk crap about something they have no direct knowledge of – always ‘off switch ‘ especially when they throw the approved message about …
I noticed a few years ago women interviewers (or are they presenters) for F1 racing. They would leap up to the drivers and ask them, ‘how did you feel (when you won, or went round a corner or whatever’. I think it was Eddie Jordan who was also a presenter, and he would ask much more technical questions.

I noticed that Jon Sopel is talking about impartial and unbiased reporting but his twitter account has three references to his book whilst using the BBC brand. Could the BBC please explain what is happening?
1) Is BBC Jon Sopel supposed to tell us about the news or his new book?
2) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter feed has the BBC name in it and says “Jon Sopel, BBC North America Editor. My book If Only They Didn’t Speak English is out now.” which references his book and not the fact he is an unbiased and impartial reporter.
3) BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter’s pinned tweet is from 23May2018 and is about .. himself and his book.
4) Is BBC Jon Sopel’s book 100% BBC approved thought and unbiased and partial?
5) Shouldn’t BBC Jon Sopel’s twitter be about the latest news and not himself?
6) When Jon Sopel sells a book does it go to help pay for the BBC TV Tax – to reduce it? As the BBC are promoting it – thus it is promoted by the BBC TV Tax Payer.

Why is the BBC splashing out your licence fee on 22 weather forecasters when the segments last just two minutes long on average
It may be Britain’s favourite topic – but does the BBC really need 22 national forecasters to tell us about the weather?
The astonishing number of presenters are appearing across the corporation’s television and radio output, anchoring forecasts which are, on average, just two minutes long
Twenty-two forecasters are presenting the weather on the BBC’s main TV and radio channels, while a further 23 can be seen on its regional programmes.
Viewers and corporation staff are questioning why – at a time when the licence fee is increasingly unpopular – there seems to be a different weather presenter for each bulletin.
One Twitter user said: ‘Why does the BBC have so many weather presenters? We have the national, regional, and then superfluous ones on in the evening.’
Last night, the BBC was criticised by pressure group TaxPayers’ Alliance, which is fighting to stop taxpayers being forced financially to support the BBC.
Spokesman Joe Ventre told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Taxpayers have had enough of funding bloated broadcasting.
‘Under the licence-fee system, the BBC forces households to cover the costs of an enormous payroll. The Beeb should do Brits a favour by waving goodbye to the TV tax and taking full responsibility for its own finances.’
Among the BBC’s most high- profile forecasters is Tomasz Schafernaker, 44, who was voted the UK’s most popular weather presenter in a public poll.
The Polish host joined the BBC Weather Centre in 2000 as a broadcast assistant and became the youngest man to present the broadcaster’s regional forecasts at the age of just 22.
Mr Schafernaker, who trained at the Met Office college in Exeter, Devon, is best known for raising ‘the finger’ at former BBC news presenter Simon McCoy when he thought he was off screen.
Then there is Carol Kirkwood – one of the main weather presenters on Breakfast, who also appears regularly across the corporation’s other outlets.
She rejoined the BBC in 1998 and has since presented across all of its weather bulletins.
So a few womens faces have been used in these videos from a worldwide population of about 4 billion and the BBC are trying to scare you into thinking you could easily be next.
The video is absolute classic low-grade, low-IQ misandrist scaremongering which even puts Panorama to shame. They are using every cheap trick in the book.
But the big cherry on the top of this cake is the BBC presenter who made it. Watch the video and go to 7:40 to see who the BBC have making their content. And she is by no means unusual these days
It is hard to believe just how far the BBC has fallen.
JohnC, it is also a BBC attack on new media which the BBC would like to control but cannot and it also helps to keep the climate of fear going on around Artificial Intelligence. The BBC like a bit of fear do the BBC.

“We have refugees now, for example, or people of Arab origin, who bring a different type of antisemitism into the country,” she said during the interview. “But unfortunately, antisemitism existed before this.” {bbc.co.uk 25apr2018}
“Several Jewish students have reported antisemitic bullying in schools in recent months and Israeli flags were burned during a recent protest in the capital city.”
– ‘different type of antisemitism’ – how many types are there?
– not the normal type of antisemitism?
– does anyone question these politicians?
– reminds me of Met Officer Cressida Dick – “I don’t think this was a phenomena (gang r*pe culture) that was invented in the last few years. It really wasn’t. It’s been part of our society probably for centuries and centuries and centuries. It’s hard to really know exactly what is really going up and what is changing. ” – Cressida Dick
Whilst making a video on just how bonkers Britain now is with its climate policies, Our Prime Minister decided to backtrack on the timings of a few things which were frankly impossible in the time scale anyway. The video starts with just a few of the ”bonkers’ points and I then I cut it short to dissect Sunak’s speech. A sort of translation of the hype as he proceeds through it.
I refer to this video in this video:-

I’m going to post this again for reasons that the media have been painting Vladmir Putin as the bad guy and us as the good guys when it’s the other way around.
Also because with crime spiralling out of control and a Tory party which doesn’t appear to ever have been in control it’s about what the rainbow painters we used to know as the ‘Police’ have been getting up to.
2018 400 people arrested in Russia for things they have posted on Social media. 3300 people arrested in Britain for things they have posted on Social Media and that doesn’t include all the visits by uniformed thugs which didn’t result in arrest – I know I’m one of them.
So watch it and weep, and realise we’re the bad guys.

@Thoughtful We shouldn’t be doing omission
we should criticise the BBC for its deception by omission
Quoting an old story is OK, but it is not OK to omit that it was overturned.
Chelsea Russell did NOT fully serve that sentence
and she was never sentenced to 500 hours community service , rather it was 500 costs
She was convicted in April 2018
It was overturned in Feb 2019
“Last week, the conviction was overturned on appeal. Russell’s defence lawyer slammed the initial verdict as ‘ridiculous’, akin to the actions of a ‘totalitarian state’. ..” https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/02/27/chelsea-russell-and-the-depravity-of-pc/
I note the BBC OMITTED reporting the conviction was overturned
‘The car-sized container had come screaming into the atmosphere over the western US at more than 12km/s (27,000mph).’
‘Screaming’ Jonathan ? (and capital W). Is that a scientific term ?.
As a technical person myself, it always amuses me how the BBC put any old idiot onto reporting things like this. I’ve come to appreciate that the target audience of the BBC are the slightly thick people of our country who don’t cross check anything using the internet and who the BBC think will fall for their far-left agenda-based propaganda and make the difference when it’s time to vote.
I remember when the BBC had a real berk of an environment correspondent who moved from Religious Affairs to Environment – Alex Kirby was quite an expert on parrot telepathy apparently.
WOW!!! Trudeau Sets World Record In Avoiding Questions!!!

I believe, in my opinion, that we have looked for greatness in the mundane. Trying to make everyone winners, means we all lose. Irony in the most profound sense.

The Ministry of Defence is offering armed soldiers to support London police after dozens of Met officers handed in their weapons.
More than 100 police officers turned in permits allowing them to carry firearms, a source told the BBC.
The Met Police said the action was being taken after an officer was charged with the murder of unarmed Chris Kaba, 24.
He died after being shot in south London last year.
A Met Police officer appeared in court on Thursday.
In a statement, the Met said some officers were “worried” about how the charging decision “impacts on them”.
The MoD said it received a request – known as Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) – from the Home Office to “provide routine counter-terrorism contingency support to the Metropolitan Police, should it be needed”.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in World War II before later immigrating to Canada, in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023. Jewish groups are asking for an apology and an explanation after it emerged that Hunka’s division was a voluntary unit under the command of the Nazis. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Patrick Doyle
2021 … This progress is now coming under threat from an unlikely source. When President Zelenskyy won election in 2019, he did so as a political outsider and as a self-styled member of the post-independence generation of young Ukrainians. His campaign was notable for its social media innovation, while his professional background in show business and political satire led many to believe he understood the significance of free speech and valued media freedoms.
At the halfway point in Zelenskyy’s presidential term, he now stands accused of repeating the tactics used by many of his authoritarian neighbors elsewhere in the post-Soviet region to muzzle the media and silence the opposition.

At the last military checkpoint before he exited Ukraine in April, a 39-year-old man from Odesa handed over papers showing he had a serious spinal injury, thus exempting him from military service and from the ban on adult men leaving the country.
“One of the soldiers said, ‘That hospital really likes this diagnosis, huh?’” recalled the man. “I could see they knew exactly what was going on, and it wasn’t the first time. But they were powerless to do anything, so waved me through,” he said.
The man, who asked for anonymity to discuss the matter, admitted that he had paid a $5,000 bribe to escape a potential draft into the Ukrainian army and service on the front lines in the war with Russia.
The UK is facing a dilemma: should it fight the rising imports of Chinese electric cars with big new tariffs, in the same way the EU has threatened to do this week? Or should it allow them to continue? Keeping open to the imports in would make it easier for the UK to hit its goal of no new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, and it would make electric cars cheaper. But the UK car industry could be damaged. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66820791
Ursula von der Leyen said ‘global markets are now flooded with cheaper Chinese electric cars’
cheaper?

Essentially, UK factories, which face competition from Chinese electric imports, could have to subsidise them.

“Several Jewish students have reported antisemitic bullying in schools in recent months and Israeli flags were burned during a recent protest in the capital city.”
– ‘different type of antisemitism’ – how many types are there?
– not the normal type of antisemitism?
– does anyone question these politicians?
– reminds me of Met Officer Cressida Dick – “I don’t think this was a phenomena (gang r*pe culture) that was invented in the last few years. It really wasn’t.

Whilst making a video on just how bonkers Britain now is with its climate policies, Our Prime Minister decided to backtrack on the timings of a few things which were frankly impossible in the time scale anyway. The video starts with just a few of the ”bonkers’ points and I then I cut it short to dissect Sunak’s speech. A sort of translation of the hype as he proceeds through it.

I’m going to post this again for reasons that the media have been painting Vladmir Putin as the bad guy and us as the good guys when it’s the other way around.
Also because with crime spiralling out of control and a Tory party which doesn’t appear to ever have been in control it’s about what the rainbow painters we used to know as the ‘Police’ have been getting up to.
2018 400 people arrested in Russia for things they have posted on Social media. 3300 people arrested in Britain for things they have posted on Social Media and that doesn’t include all the visits by uniformed thugs which didn’t result in arrest – I know I’m one of them.
So watch it and weep, and realise we’re the bad guys.

we should criticise the BBC for its deception by omission
Quoting an old story is OK, but it is not OK to omit that it was overturned.
Chelsea Russell did NOT fully serve that sentence
and she was never sentenced to 500 hours community service , rather it was 500 costs
She was convicted in April 2018
It was overturned in Feb 2019
“Last week, the conviction was overturned on appeal. Russell’s defence lawyer slammed the initial verdict as ‘ridiculous’, akin to the actions of a ‘totalitarian state’. ..”

As a technical person myself, it always amuses me how the BBC put any old idiot onto reporting things like this. I’ve come to appreciate that the target audience of the BBC are the slightly thick people of our country who don’t cross check anything using the internet and who the BBC think will fall for their far-left agenda-based propaganda and make the difference when it’s time to vote.

Entertainer Uri Geller and other villagers say they are mystified by the appearance of a red letterbox in the middle of a bridge.
The box has been placed on a buttress on the downstream side of the bridge, which crosses the River Thames.
Residents of Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire, said the box could only be reached by river users.
Mr Geller, who has lived in the village for 33 years, said he had “never seen anything like it”.
“This is a very unusual village,” he added.

The Ministry of Defence is offering armed soldiers to support London police after dozens of Met officers handed in their weapons.
More than 100 police officers turned in permits allowing them to carry firearms, a source told the BBC.
The Met Police said the action was being taken after an officer was charged with the murder of unarmed Chris Kaba, 24.
He died after being shot in south London last year.
A Met Police officer appeared in court on Thursday.
In a statement, the Met said some officers were “worried” about how the charging decision “impacts on them”.
The MoD said it received a request – known as Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) – from the Home Office to “provide routine counter-terrorism contingency support to the Metropolitan Police, should it be needed”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in World War II before later immigrating to Canada, in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023. Jewish groups are asking for an apology and an explanation after it emerged that Hunka’s division was a voluntary unit under the command of the Nazis. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Patrick Doyle

2021 … This progress is now coming under threat from an unlikely source. When President Zelenskyy won election in 2019, he did so as a political outsider and as a self-styled member of the post-independence generation of young Ukrainians. His campaign was notable for its social media innovation, while his professional background in show business and political satire led many to believe he understood the significance of free speech and valued media freedoms.
At the halfway point in Zelenskyy’s presidential term, he now stands accused of repeating the tactics used by many of his authoritarian neighbors elsewhere in the post-Soviet region to muzzle the media and silence the opposition.

Bribes and hiding at home: the Ukrainian men trying to avoid conscription

At the last military checkpoint before he exited Ukraine in April, a 39-year-old man from Odesa handed over papers showing he had a serious spinal injury, thus exempting him from military service and from the ban on adult men leaving the country.
“One of the soldiers said, ‘That hospital really likes this diagnosis, huh?’” recalled the man. “I could see they knew exactly what was going on, and it wasn’t the first time. But they were powerless to do anything, so waved me through,” he said.
The man, who asked for anonymity to discuss the matter, admitted that he had paid a $5,000 bribe to escape a potential draft into the Ukrainian army and service on the front lines in the war with Russia.

Marjorie from Pembrokeshire had gone through the whole pandemic without catching the virus – until this month.
“I thought I had natural immunity,” she says.
“But I caught it from my granddaughter who had the same symptoms as mine.”
In her case, that meant a headache, muscle pain and a loss of smell and taste.
“I just didn’t realise I would feel so weak and lethargic,” she adds.
How many people – like Marjorie – are catching Covid this autumn is impossible to know for sure.

But perhaps it is starting to become part of the background to our everyday lives.
The UK is facing a dilemma: should it fight the rising imports of Chinese electric cars with big new tariffs, in the same way the EU has threatened to do this week? Or should it allow them to continue? Keeping open to the imports in would make it easier for the UK to hit its goal of no new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, and it would make electric cars cheaper. But the UK car industry could be damaged.
