Are we about to witness full on anti Israel reporting from the BBC ? – even more than what they are doing ?
After all – according to the BBC what the Hamas Islamic Terrorist Group is doing isn’t Terrorism – slaughtering civilians is … something else ….

    Not the BBC – but I thought I’d share this one just as a bit of ‘light relief ‘ – it’s by a lady called Petronela Wyatt? From the Daily Telegraph .. the comments are – predicable ….

    STARTS
    Of all the pills in all the world, Viagra is proving to be one of the most pernicious. It may have started as a benign miracle cure for the less enterprising in amours, but, according to new statistics, it is making Britain a country for dirty old men. A record number of males over the age of 70 are popping the little blue pills, as often as they take their statins and felodipine.

    Last year, the over-70s received a record 282,000 prescriptions, including 7,000 for nonagenarians, the eldest patient being 99. There used to be a saying: “Better an old man’s darling than a young man’s slave.” Or, to spell it out, better for single, grown-up women to be romanced by quiescent septuagenarians with open wallets and open-heart surgery, rather than younger bon soldats with a ravenous appetite to merge.

    In this wide, wicked universe, there is nothing quite as comforting as a relationship with a man who can answer for your future, even if he can’t answer for his own. The French call it “amitie amoureuse”, and it was love without the pressure of unwarranted expectations in the boudoir. In fact, it was a blessed relief. But Western civilisation is a self-limiting disease. There are thumping parodoxes in its philosophy, and some of them have a suicidal smack.

    According to Frank Furedi of Kent University, “Contemporary culture sends out the signal that sex is for life. A lot of elderly men feel they must have a full-on sex life by any means necessary. They are fast becoming Generation Viagra.”

    But sex isn’t for life. Its actual purpose is to create life, something we have lost sight of in our fiery revolt against the traditions of our ancestors and our headlong rush into the ravine of transience and self-destruction. There is, in any case, a form of human striving understood far better by the inhabitants of a modern democracy, and that is the striving for gratification without responsibility, and a belief in the divinity of the human body.

    In the West, there is a misconception, fostered by magazines, social media and the new body acceptance, that insists on an equality of desirability and the right to act on it. But the human body, except for a short time in youth, is not a beautiful thing. It is a hideous thing.

    Women understand this better than men. Our own bodies give us no pleasure. It is our constant effort to disguise, alter or conceal them. We never expose them aesthetically, but only as an act of provocation. The human body, compared to a vase, is very defective in form. It has clumsily distributed masses which become even clumsier with age. Most men, however, are aesthetically deaf, dumb and blind, a disability reinforced by their vanity.

    Their natural instinct is to investigate every stranger of the opposite sex with a view to deciding whether to behave towards them in an amorous manner. This instinct is inhibited when they are travelling on the Tube at rush hour, but Generation Viagra is becoming a menace behind closed doors. Look what it did to Hugh Hefner, who died in 2017, at 91.The ultimate playboy was unable to play any more, without resorting to drugs. According to his widow, Crystal, who was interviewed two months ago, he took so much Viagra it made him deaf in one ear, and their relationship a misery. Poor former playmate Crystal. She married a decrepit millionaire in the reasonable expectation of pipe, slippers and blank cheques, and ended up with a hard-of-hearing sex addict. It shouldn’t happen to nice girls.

    I cannot help but think that Rishi Sunak missed a trick here. Restrictions on the sale of Viagra, as opposed to on the sale of cigarettes, would have held surprising allure for countless women up and down the country. If those born in 2009 won’t be allowed to smoke in 14 years, then men born before 1950 should be prohibited Viagra, if only for their own good. Other side-effects of this medicine, and its unholy twin Cialis, include blindness, nosebleeds and heart failure. There are not many upsides to growing older, but surely the freedom from dirty old men on pills is one of them.

    I have indirect experience of this myself. An 87-year-old of my acquaintance, heretofore a well-behaved widower of 10 years, went to his doctor a month ago, with disastrous consequences. He is now refusing to see his female friends unless they have sex with him. Viagra has become damaging to everyone’s peace of mind, as well as to our ability to form the comfortable and happy relationships that our parents and grandparents enjoyed. We are creating a lost generation of elderly male delinquents. ENDS

    The BBC’s coverage of the Hamas massacre has been sickening.
    The level of anti-Israel and at times antisemitic journalism that we expose in their coverage will shock you.

    Doesn’t shock me at all. Disgusts further, yes.

    No wonder the mirror in JezBo’s loft has given up.

    Apologies if this has already been posted.

    I have been offline all week.

    A Jewish BBC reporter today resigned from his job because of his bosses’ refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists.

    Noah Abrahams, who is 22 and worked on BBC Radio Derby, said the decision was ‘unjustified’ and ‘words have influence’.

    In the name of impartiality, the BBC refers to Hamas as a ‘militant’ group and described the slaughter of civilians as a ‘militant’ attack.

    Explaining his decision to quit, Mr Abrahams told TalkTV: ‘I have morals and I stick by them. I think the BBC’s refusal to use the correct terminology is unjustified.

    ‘Words impact how we think, how we react, how we act. They have influence. [Hamas] aren’t freedom fighters or, as John Simpson refers to them, gunmen. They’re terrorists.

    ‘There are probably people watching who think I’ve thrown it all away for some words, but words – when neglected – have the power to fuel hate and put fuel on the fire.’
    Mr Abrahams said he realised he had made a ‘monumental career life decision’ but felt he needed to make a stand because of the threats currently facing British Jews.
    ‘Jewish schoolchildren can’t go to school feeling safe and synagogues have security so heightened that it strikes fear to you,’ he said.

    ‘We’re taking off our jewellery and necklaces. People will avoid London tomorrow because of the threat.

    ‘That is fear. And anything that happens in Israel – like it or not – has a direct affect on the British community.
    ‘British Jews are terrified, and so am I, and I don’t feel like I can stand by the BBC any longer with their stance on terminology.’

    He added: ‘Jews are terrified, as am I. And I’ve just made a really monumental career and life decision. So as with everyone I’m going through a hard time at the moment.’

      In April 2020, the Health Secretary announced that over £13bn of NHS debt would be written off and converted to public dividend capital (PDC). This was part of a wide range of financial measures the Government brought in for health and social care during the current pandemic.
      All the loans that are being written off are internal debts between NHS trusts and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). This means it is a transaction within the DHSC and does not change overall public borrowing. It is not a cash injection, and additional funding for COVID-19 will be provided to trusts through emergency and other funding rather than this write-off.

I hope you are right Mishal, I’m sure the lawyers will be checking. Tim Davie will be groaning as Mishal has now opened the BBC mailbags to a flood of letters to the D-G carrying examples of BBC bias on things like Global Warming and Climate Change, the Russia Ukraine conflict, the EU, etc, etc.. Some of the letters may ask for Mishal to be sacked.

    I’m glad the sundry hacks who parade as ‘critics’ are splattered all over the Beebonic website, in the hope that the oiks in W1AA can still wrench some kudos from showing some crap about a disgusting individual. Naturally I have absolutely no intention of watching the programm.

    Usually, all these sorts of reports from useful idiots do absolutely f*** all for anyone who can be bothered to watch such drivel, but this particular proramme really sticks in my craw, as the senior autocue-readers stuffed into their grubby little cubicles are STILL trying to excuse their outrageous behaviour of ignoring the obvious signs that Savile was a serial reprobate by ‘sensationalising’ a criminal who should have been behind bars years ago.

    I don’t give a stuff whether it’s Steve Coogan or Diane Abbott playing the part, it’s still the Beebolic’s nasty way of spitting on the TV taxpayer, and thinking they’re going to be believed.

    Trust in that lot has diminished to almost zero, they’re an utter disgrace.

        It’s easy to find out that Steve Coogan is a lefie, I can’t really be bothered what he does, but somehow, when ‘personalities’ who are in the limelight display their politics so brazenly, I start to feel uncomfortable that this bloke or that girl are really trying to take the p***!

        They can be either lefties or normal, but once I know what they do, it colours my judgement!

        But then I’m a better film critic than any of the bunch looking at Savile, because I’d just say, ‘It’s a load of B******s’ and go down the pub…

      Can’t quite agree with you on that, Scrob.

      I thought The Reckoning was a really gripping drama with a fantastic performance from Steve Coogan.

      Of course we are all angry that Savile wasn’t exposed during his lifetime. But it wasn’t just the BBC that was fooled by him. We all were. He made us believe he was a modern saint. He loved his mother, he was a devout catholic who prayed to God all the time, he was tireless in his volunteer work and charity fundraising. He was odd and had strange mannerisms but that was because he was a member of Mensa and very intelligent. He was a great British eccentric. Weird but basically an unusually altruistic man.

      That was how most people saw him. We don’t like to remember that. So many people now think they saw him differently. They like to believe they recognised him back then for the evil predator that he really was. They think that if they had been in a position to do so, they would have exposed him.

      But the sad truth is they wouldn’t have. We were fooled. None of us like being fooled. Savile fooled us and got away with it.

      We can’t just pile all our negative feelings and blame onto the BBC. We can only grieve and hope that we have learned something.

          17.1 Savile was a highly unusual personality whose lifestyle, behaviour and offending
          patterns were equally unusual. As a result of his celebrity, his volunteering, and his
          fundraising he had exceptional access to a number of NHS hospitals and took the
          opportunities that that access gave him to abuse patients, staff and others on a
          remarkable scale. Savile’s celebrity and his roles as a volunteer and fundraiser also gave
          him power and influence within NHS hospitals which meant that his behaviour, which was
          often evidently inappropriate, was not challenged as it should have been. Savile’s ability
          to continue to pursue his activities without effective challenge was aided by fragmented
          hospital management arrangements; social attitudes of the times, including reticence in
          reporting and accepting reports of sexual harassment and abuse, and greater deference
          than today towards those in positions of influence and power; and less bold and intrusive
          media reporting

        Chancey – problem is for the UK is that there is a huge Islamic enemy within – and it’s been given the conditions to expand like a virus .
        What Israel is about to do to Gaza is going to bring the virus out in the UK and show its’ strength . The likes of red labour has been lucky that their parliament has been closed as we d have seen a queue of Islamic Hamas terrorists giving their support ..

    The News Quiz tonight Radio 4 6.30pm repeated tomorrow 12.30pm

    I wont be able to listen but feel I can still criticise due to the predictability of so called BBC comedies .

    Last week it was 22 minutes to five minutes about the Tories and their conference .

    This week there will be 10 minutes max about the Labour party conference . The ” laughs ” from the sneering socialists will be about Labour not being effective enough in gaining power and not being zelous enough to get us back into the EU . In fact the sniggering panellists will be exhorting the Labour party to obtain power in a democracy but not be populist .

    There wont be much on the Middle East protagonists , the BBC will say its due to impartiality and good taste , which coming from the BBC is as good taste as chicken ,chips and traffic cones .

    There will be the usual nod and a wink amongst the smirking panellists ( and the rest of the BBC ) about right wing people saying the BBC isn`t impartial ,probably about the Middle East . It will probably be Andy Salzmann sniggering ” but we must be impartial here at the BBC ” and mentioning he`s Jewish himself .
    They really do think that their tribal thinking is normal think .

    A little bit more about ex President Trump and that wraps it up .

    Let me know how it goes .

    Puzzled. I’m puzzled. TWATO aka, “The Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster”:

    Loads of “British Men” (with heavy muslim accents) interviewed when in Gaza. Why are “British Men” (with UK passports) in a warzone and declaring , we have to move out of Gaza? Seems to me they come to the UK simply to gain a British passport and then disappear back to their warzone. Could a British passport be a mere hedge / ticket out of Gaza if needed? Maybe Rich Sunak should arrange military jets to fly them out? Maybe Rich Sunak should send the Marines (all 7,000 of them) in to protect the ‘ ‘British Men’ against the Israelis? The UN has warned Israel to ‘stick to’ the rules of war and not demand the Gazan’s flee ‘their homes’. Which home? the one in Gaza or perhaps Bradford/London.

    But hey, the “British Men” have the full support of Rich Sunak and the bumbling idiot in the US irrespective of what the Israelis do. So, Rich/Biden if the Israelis disregard the UN and their demands yet still have the support ‘right to the bitter end’ of both, that’s surely tantamount to condoning breaking the War Rules isn’t it?

    Then why not ignore the ECHR in our own invasion……………..

    Many contradictory standards at work here. All liars get caught out eventually.

    Teacher killed in France school stabbing
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67101089

    ‘A teacher has been killed and two people have been seriously injured in a knife attack at a school in France, officials say.’

    When this broke, I saw we were being told it had ‘no terrorist intent’ which sounded a lot like weasel words to hide something.

    Now we get:

    ‘According to witnesses, he shouted “Allahu Akbar”, or “God is greatest”, during the attack.’

    ‘The French anti-terror prosecutor’s office says it has opened an investigation following the attack for “murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise” and “attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise”.’

    And yet another a very short facts-only article by the BBC.

    No suprise there for any of it. It was odds-on as soon as multiple innocent people got stabbed and we got no indication of who did it.

    I really wonder why the BBC/Left are so desperate to protect Muslim terrorists. They have all the qualities the Leftist’s pretend to despise when it’s white people.

    Is it really as simple as they are protecting their value as victims in the bigger struggle against the right ?.

    If so, it’s hypocrisy and complete lack of ethical behaviour on an epic scale.

    Perhaps maxi can explain to us why he chooses ignore all their characteristics which make him foam at the mouth with hate if right-wing whitey does it.

      Yep, it is.
      From CND to National Strikes and Days of Action (remember those in the early Thatcher period) to the so-called Stop the War Coalition ( remember that) to extremist Trans ideology to unfettered open door immigration to antisemitic pro-Muslim, pro-Palestinianism, the left will jump on any and all bandwagons if they help to destabilise the West in order that glorious socialism can rise from the ashes.

      A few days back the BBC briefly showed a Jewish demo and then a Palestinian demo , both in London. Strangely only the latter had placards from Socialist Worker.

    Now, a tale I have shared before, if you can take the irony.

    Can’t recall detail, but I was on a forum that had some kind of limitations when an admin minion accidentally posted a reply to someone and cc’d everyone for all to see.

    “Oops,” I thought, and skipped along, a process taking around a millisecond.

    Many did not. Many were… outraged!!!!! And took to the ‘reply all’ button to say so.

    Hence one millisecond stretched to several.

    My particular favourite was a very rich, busy and successful person in the USA (this was shared) whose time was so precious that they spent around 15′ on just how precious their time was.

    To us all, whose time was, apparently, not.

    Massive rise in antisemitic incidents – Met Police
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67102528

    No mention anywhere that it is the Muslim community committing all these hate crimes – including glorifying the holocaust:

    ‘ … included intimidation outside synagogues and loudly playing German military music.’

    Why are the BBC scumbags protecting these people who are doing this ?. You can be quite sure we would be told if it was white people doing all these hate crimes towards Muslims.

    What gets me is that after what has happened, you would expect the rise in hate crimes to be against Muslims. It highlights just what kind of people our country is being stuffed with that it is THEM doing the crimes in support of terrorists.

    We have been warning against this for years and got told we were racists. Remember Farage and the picture of the queue of people ?.

    Eventually they will turn on us in the same way. Once their numbers are enough …

    Import third world, get third world. Now it’s been proved – but you can be sure the story will be dropped as soon as the BBC can do it. Meanwhile they will protect them as much as they can as they are doing here. I despair at just how stupid these people are.
