OFCOM is meant to ‘regulate ‘ broadcasters. But when it comes to the State Funded BBC there doesn’t appear to be much control – for instance there is no comment about the refusal of the BBC to call Islamic HAMAS a terrorist group even though it carries out terrorist attacks and is legally a terrorist gang in UK law .
So who is OFCOM ? Does it need to be ended like the BBC? Will any politician fix it ?

Our cowardly insufferable leaders are yet again turning a blind eye to the loose canon that is Turkey. At the very least they should have banned holiday travel to Turkey to stop the funding of Erdogans war machine, and his threats over illegal migration.
Of course they did what they always do – nothing and now Erdogan is threatening naval action against the two US carrier strike groups, and none of this has even made the news – because it’s politic not to do so.

The 500 deaths in the explosion at the Gaza hospital is sounding even more suspicious now we know it was a Hamas rocket.
It hit in the car park and didn’t have the power to make a crater. So how come it resulted in such a violent explosion to kill so many people ?.
And more to the point, why aren’t the BBC asking the same question in their ‘live feed’ ?. Surely it’s finally a real-world use for the 60+ ‘BBC Verify’ team to investigate something meaningful. Or do they only do google street view and searches in Chrome ?.
It’s pointing towards Hamas using a hospital as an ammunition dump – but nobody wants to go near it for some reason.

“The 500 deaths”
… I don’t see why we here just accept that Hamas line
I accept that some civilians have died due to IDF deference actions, and that Israel my have a cultural issue with arrogance
but the number of deaths and actual situation at the hospital have a number of scenarios
A huge loss of life seems to break the “too wow to b true” rule
You have a situation where last week Hamas were the clear baddies
and then this week right when Hamas are about to be obliterated
.. Suddenly an event happens which give them a huge “Get Out of Trouble” card
A scenario is that it was a malfunctioing rocket
but another scenario is that it could be a setup, a theatre
even where they kill 50 Palestinians say it’s 500
.. and thus keep the entire Hamas regime in power.

From the evidence I’ve heard (such as radio chatter) and of course the huge explosion during the barrage launch, it certainly does seem like a rogue rocket.
But as you say : what evidence do we have it was 500 people killed ?.
But according to the (still) official line, people (like BBC Verify) should be asking questions and they aren’t – which just happens to be yet another ‘lucky break’ for Hamas.

Just reporting news is old-fashioned and boring, so now the BBC have appointed themselves advisors to Biden.
That’s what you do when you’re a global, most trusted broadcaster.
“Now it is time for the US president to use all the influence and leverage he has at his disposal to try to limit the bloodshed and loss of life, and prevent an all-out war across the Middle East.”
In other words, pressure Israel to go back to the status quo and allow Hamas and their backers to continue their constant attacks against Israel.
Heck, a few dozen dead Jews – or thousands in a bad year – is perfectly acceptable to the BBC from the safety of Islington and W1A.

On 20 June 2020, shortly before 19:00 BST, a man with a knife attacked people who were socializing in Forbury Gardens, Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Three men died from their wounds, and three other people were seriously injured. A 25-year-old Libyan male refugee named Khairi Saadallah was arrested nearby shortly afterwards. Saadallah was a former member of the Libyan militant group Ansar al-Sharia.[1][2] He was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder; he pleaded guilty. In January 2021, Saadallah was sentenced to a whole-life term.

Well Mr Jones, in my World, if any force takes murderous action against your innocent people then you automatically gain the right to respond in kind even at the cost of German civilian lives.
Hamas are using the Palestinians as human shields with no thought to the danger they have put them in. However what is occurring is a war… when the Lufwaffe ruthlessly bombed British cities killing thousands the UK had no option than to respond in kind.
The alternative is to stop shooting back and eventually be overwhelmed.
Thus war has always been.

The number of people in Scotland whose death was caused by alcohol has risen again to the highest level in 14 years.
The latest figures from National Records of Scotland (NRS) show 1,276 people died from conditions caused by alcohol in 2022.
This was 31 (2%) more than the previous year, which was the highest number since 2008.
Male deaths – which were unchanged at 836 – again accounted for about two thirds of alcohol-specific deaths.
Female deaths increased by 31 to 440.

Telegraph : “BBC reporter assumes Israel behind Gaza hospital air strike live on air”
A BBC journalist speculated Israel was responsible for the deadly airstrike at a Gaza hospital because the explosion was so big compared to blasts from rockets previously fired out of the city.
Jon Donnison said it was “hard to see” past the Israeli military as the perpetrators of the attack which killed hundreds of people at the Al Ahli Arab hospital.

Well, Stew, I would believe Israel over Hamas any day of the week.
And why do I particularly believe them in this case?
1.The hospital was hit at a time when Hamas and Islamic Jihad were firing a barrage of rockets.
2. The hospital is situated in an area that Israel has not been attacking.
3. 450 rockets fired by Hamas have already landed on their own territory since October 7th.
4. The Israelis have admitted to terrible mistakes in the past. They are generally truthful whereas Arab Muslim terrorists are pathological liars.
I will be very surprised if further investigations prove it was an Israeli attack.

and six weeks later, five officers arriving at your home, grabbing you by the wrist and arm, marching you down the street
no chance of changing your clothes. apart from a pair of shoes, put in a police cell for six hours with shoes taken away and ill fitting sandals given to you and await investigation and questioning
meanwhile your wife who is on a marital visa now invalid, has taken a years lease on a flat
which the police have not the slightest interest in

On a lighter note to my latest comments. Here is a resume of my
latest run-in with the sports “mediators ” of the BBC.
I watched the England-Italy match last night on Channel 4.
The England defence was more or less its usual cumbersome
self. Maybe a tad better than usual. BUT with England now
playing with perhaps the best young player in the world Jude Bellingham. Once Jude gets the ball from the backwards , and sideways passing from the England defence. Things begin to happen.
Harry Kane the England captain also had a very fine match. BUT
a “contributor” on the BBC internet football comments page
was derogatory about the England captain. His user name
was ” Sprechen sie deutsch”.
The reason I saw his comment was that by the time I looked at
the comments . He was second on the list. BUT only because he
had 218 NEGATIVE clicks to 3 positive ones. I had to reply
to obscene comments about Harry. It went like this.
Ich spreche deutsch . Und sie sind ein dummkopf. ( I
speak German and you are an idiot)
Very soon after I had an E Mail from the moderation team
telling me that my comment was abusive. And If I ever write
anything else like that again I will be banned.
However you can appeal against their decision . And this is where the fun begins. They give you a reference containing
THIRTY SIX symbols . Upper case , lower case. dots, dashes
numbers inserted in the middle of the letters. between Gaps
the letters !!
I tried my very best to give the right reference. I gave the exact
time the comments were made. I wrote verbatim my comments and sprechen sie deutsch’s comments. Told them
that if I failed their moderation criteria because I wrote in
German , even though I translated it , I would understand.
I even told them that my comment may have been a tad
sarcastic. But surely the moderators could see some humour in it. Also I told them that in the past I hade been a consultant for
FIFA. Which meant, maybe I KNEW A bit about football. AND NOW WHAT
REALLY MUST OF RILED THEM. Was the word dummkopf worse
than the BBC calling those barbaric Hamas scum, MILITANTS
and not TERRORIST for burning kids to death. Raping and shooting to death pregnant women .And hacking the heads off
innocent civilians.
I got the BBC reply this morning. Yes you guessed it. ” We
cannot deal with your complaint. Your reference was incorrectly
sent. The matter is now closed.” Actually not really a lighter
note.

BBC : January 2020
Iran has admitted “unintentionally” shooting down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people on board.
An investigation found that “missiles fired due to human error”, President Hassan Rouhani said. He described the crash as an “unforgivable mistake”.
The military said the jet turned towards a sensitive site belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and was then mistaken for a cruise missile.
Iran had previously rejected suggestions that it was to blame
The downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 on Wednesday came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.“

Police believe Hewa Rahimpur, 30, was behind a ring that brought 10,000 people to the UK in small boats.
Rahimpur was 23 when he arrived in Britain in 2016 and claimed asylum, saying that as an Iranian Kurd he would face persecution back home.
He was allowed to stay in 2020.
Rahimpur, who was given leave to remain in the UK, set up a barber’s shop in London with a friend but then used Britain as a base for a far-reaching criminal operation.

The experts I’m following online are suggesting it wasn’t an Israeli air strike at the hospital, but this Israeli media headline from a year ago, re earlier (false) Israeli denials, is just 1 reason why so many people were (and many still are) skeptical of Israel’s denials now.
BBC go to lad Mehdi backpedaling as fast as his legs can manage.

What is this notion that car parks have to be set on fire?
First Luton, now Gaza! I suspect the BBC Chapter of the Military Arm of the Green Brigade!
Surely there are pictures of the number plates of all the cars parked in both places, so can someone tell Madonna Scringe of Viagrify that if she gets onto the DVLA website, or even Autotrader, she or her mum (and her mum’s friend) can find out that it was indeed an electric vehicle in both cases!
Blimey, I could do that in a few seconds and I don’t even have the Latin!

At this most crucial of times, the Imbecile-in-Chief can’t even read his pre-written cheat notes in Israel.
No wonder no-one takes America seriously, from China to Afghanistan, from Putin to Hamas.
The man is a joke, except it’s not funny with WW3 looming.
You can see poor embarrassed Netanyahu thinking: this man is a MORON.
PS. Will the BBC show this? Don’t make me laugh.
Video is time-stamped.

I saw a bit of this and thought he was fighting to stay awake.
Must be the jet lag.

Instead of calling these gatherings (one is being held outside Downing Street right now) ‘pro Palestine marches’ they should call them ‘anti semite marches’
The same works the other way round.
Instead of ‘pro Israel’ they should be called ‘anti terrorist’

Look how quick the BBC were to parrot the Hamas version of events around the Gaza hospital.
What happened to your fact-checkers, BBC?
Marianna? Hello, Marianna?
“Hundreds of people have been killed in an Israeli strike.”

BBCLondon. Or do I mean PBCLondon.
6 pm headline trailer.
Coverage of a vigil in London for the ‘victims’ of the Gaza hospital blast.
Prominently displayed in front of the camera. Placards from Socialist Worker.
Somehow, I don’t think the vigil has considered that the missile came from Hamas. To them the possibility does not exist.
So what we have here is the pro-Palestinian BBC writ large, masquerading very thinly indeed as a humanitarian issue.
Disgusting.
