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 ?

One of those days when comrade Robinson brings a box of tissues to work ….
……yes – the Nadine Dorries legacy of … er … nothing but hot air washed away in an autumn storm – I love the prediction that if repeated in a general election reds would have 500 – blues wouid have 50?
It’s sad . I am of The Right – I’m not a conservative as the brand claims today – I don’t like socialists winning – but it is inevitable now that the tories will be wiped out – deservedly .
These elections showed that blue supporters didn’t bother turning out . If the reds stay quiet this will be repeated next year .
Today it’s easy for the BBC because it is what it is ….
Meanwhile …
The president of Israel has suggested banning the bbc ….
A high ranking Islamic Hamas BBC spokesman has almost admitted being ‘wrong ‘ about the hospital explosion
A programme on the BBC aimed at younger footy types has been dumped ( suggesting the chase for young viewers isn’t working ) …
The so-called “Conservative” party seems to be in the hands of the woke left-wing blob. The prime minister was elected by no-one. They still profess to believe in “Net Zero”, which is impossible and ruinous. Am I meant to be grateful that they are “only” banning petrol cars in 2035 instead of 2030?
Now Sunak’s idiot new ideas are to ban smoking and mess up A Levels. Give me a break.
I see that votes for Reform UK cost the “Conservatives” both by-elections. Good. It might knock some sense into them. If it doesn’t, they will get what they deserve.
Israel Gaza: Community frozen as Hamas atrocities continue to emerge
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67165128
A harrowing article which highlights exactly why Israel have gone to war with Hamas.
It’s written as if it’s new information – but much of it has been known for days to my knowledge (such as children being tied together and burned alive). For some reason, the BBC are only reporting it now.
I would expect such revalations to be headline news as they are the whole justification for what is happening.
So why is it a small article tucked right down at the bottom of the page (even though it’s only 3 hours old) and if you go to the new ‘Israel Gaza’ news section, I challenge you to even find it at all.
Clearly it’s all so the BBC can show they reported it to counter all the claims of bias. But they are doing their best to make sure nobody sees it. And why didn’t they report it when it really was ‘news’.
Surprised it is anywhere on a bbc platform, but they need something for Clive as the next Culture Sec.
The origins of the latest conflict have now all but been erased as the usual suspects who screamed inaccurately at the start are quietly reinstated by producers who need gobs to say what their stations cannot overtly as yet, even with OFCOM in the bag.
Meanwhile Clive, Nadia etc want to inspect the bogs of a floating hotel with a media circus in tow.
The Economist – Only America can stop a bigger catastrophe in Israel and Gaza
Not with the guy they and all BBC TNI partners installed as figurehead in chief, as the sheer magnitude of their mistake sinks in.
The comments he and Sunak have issued are as student level cringe and inflammatory rather than statesmanlike in face of the psychotic rhetoric from ‘the side’ they appear to feel is playing to the rules of some game.
Afghanistan was a success according to Biden and Boris … the most successful retreat in history.
3:28 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Last night in Kabul, the United States ended 20 years of war in Afghanistan — the longest war in American history.
We completed one of the biggest airlifts in history, with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety. That number is more than double what most experts thought were possible. No nation — no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history. Only the United States had the capacity and the will and the ability to do it, and we did it today.

Eric Cantona – the singer: ‘The Rolling Stones should support me’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66808131
Another free advertisement money could not buy from the BBC luvvies to one of their idols. Not sure why Eric deserves it – but he clearly does. It’s nothing less than bare-faced promotion for his upcoming ‘UK tour’. I suppose he’s special because he isn’t white English male scum.
Clearly a money grab. I simply cannot begin to imagine just how bad his ‘show’ will be. Anyone going ?.

The Friends We Lost Lyrics
Watch the trees when the others fall
The hall of love is much too small
Watch yourself into the mirror
Someone you hate, someone you love
Bet and cry with the worst devils
The friends we lost the time we waste
Some of us have to pay the bills
In peace our ennemies can rest
Like a red snake in the water
In mind a winning number
Listen the silence over the fear
The deep ocean that we can’t hear
Laugh and drink with the vampires
The friends we lost the time we waste
The blood of our lovely flowers
In peace our ennemies can rest
Might this offer a clue behind the BBC’s support?

At about 0740 comrade Robinson and our Justin have an unscripted exchange about the BBC saying Israel dropped a rocket on a hospital – I only had my head on ‘background ‘ but by the tone Robinson was doing the usual slime non apology and their BBC is never wrong …. Keep digging boys – go destroy yourselves …. Cancel your licence ….we will win .
Cancel your licence and the far Left Tories will simply force you to pay by including it in the council tax

Everything is fine – the blue labour government only borrowed £80 billion in the first 6 months of 2023 – the ONS predicted it was gonna be £100 billion . Total government debt is at £2.6 trillion – whatever that number is – but it sounds big innit ?
And apparently – because HMG ‘only ‘ borrowed £80 billion in 6 months there can be an election give away in the budget ….
Insanity stalks the world …..
What is going at the BBC and Israel/Gaza ?. The whole subject seems to have turned into looney-tunes.
US warship intercepts missiles fired from Yemen ‘potentially towards Israel’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67166863
This is a BIG story. The USA are now directly involved and it indicates a big escalation of the war. Why is this article just a small pane right at the bottom of the page ?.
Ooh-Ahh Cantona going out singing gets a higher billing.
And look at this meaningless rubbish the idiot author wrote:
‘There are various US bases in the Middle East, with warships, troops and fighter aircrafts.’
Another masterpiece by this one again:
Something odd is going on at the BBC over this war. They seem to have thrown away all reason and have spat their dummy out.
Trousers that look as though they’ve had a row with the socks edition
Party leader Sir Keir Starmer said the historic results in the safe Tory seats showed “people overwhelmingly want change” (BBC)
Change, he says. Won’t a Labour-flavoured government simply bring us an awful lot more of all that stuff the Tories are already doing that we don’t like or want? No wonder the none of the above stay at home vote won.
Or does he only mean change as in swapping a blue tie for a red one?
There appears to be a good deal of political flexibility leftward in our Sir Keir considering not so long ago he would have had us endure Jeremy Corbyn as PM.
And if he was just pretending back then and was actually planning some post-election Blairite New Labour coup against PM Corbyn and the marxist crazies – then what a snake he is.
Responding to the Tamworth defeat, a Conservative spokesman said: “This is a difficult result on much-reduced turnout. But it’s important to see it in context. The government of the day rarely wins by-elections and there were specific reasons around the nature of the departure of the previous MP.” The seat’s former MP was Chris Pincher, who resigned after drunkenly groping two men. (BBC) – you really couldn’t make it up.
And therein, my friends, lies the emblematic root of the sad moral decline of our so-called Conservative party. Since it was Blairite-Tory David Cameron who brought us what I like to call the pantomime marriage act, then how come Mr Pincher MP didn’t think to offer the objects of his manly desire an honest proposal of wedlock?
One peruses the BBC online news website for a simple statement of the vote count result – but one gives up after being overwhelmed by over much analysis, comment and reaction.
Anyway, Rishi’s days as PM are quite obviously numbered. Seat-warmer for Starmer, as one rather mildly likes to taunt him. Whereas our BBC today goes for the jugular and enjoys taunting him with: Covid inquiry: Sunak called Dr Death by top scientist (BBC)
There was a time when it was the mad scientists who tended to own the nicknames such as Dr Death
Let’s take a glance at the Rishi lacky lickspittal loyalist Daily Express – to see with what pithy zinger the Downing Street press office comes back with?
Forget the pandemic. Forget the United With The People Of Ukraine. Today it’s a bolster to Rishi’s lame peace initiative with a resounding think of the children: In the name of god… save the children… Dr Halma Begum, chief executive of the charity ActionAid UK… (Our Daily Express now: United with the
peoplechildren ofUkraineGaza?) – and which god would that be? I know Dave Allen liked to say “May your god go with you” but are we talking Allah or Yahweh? Or just that vanilla chap – or possibly woman (?) – occasionally mentioned in our sparcely attended churches here on a Sunday?“More popular than Jesus” is part of a remark made by John Lennon of the Beatles in a March 1966 interview in which he argued that the public were more infatuated with the band than with Jesus and that Christian faith was declining to the extent that it might be outlasted by rock music (Thank you Wiki)
The joke was on John Lennon, since realistically what we knew as rock music is all but dead these days: Chart of the Day: What’s bigger, porn or music? The adult entertainment industry may be the biggest business you’ve never thought of as a big business… (CNBC)
Why else the obsession with our long past rock glories? Mick Jagger On the new Stones album and missing Charlie Watts (Guardian); Secrets of a rock biographer (Times 2)
Do your bit to ease Israel crisis, Sunak urges Saudis (Times) – I’m mildly fascinated by the large format photograph on the frontpage of the Times. Specifically the footware. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, sitting comfortably in some overly opulently furnished palace in Riyadh, smiling like the Sphinx of Giza in full arab garb (anagram, almost) before a furled green Saudi flag – with the sword of Allah prominent (cf Fun With Flags) he sports natty brown polished leather, no doubt hand-crafted bespoke, sandals (no socks)
Whereas our Rishi, tight-lipped, big eared, looks concerned – with his socks on full display. Our diminiative little manlet in a too big armchair. Yes, the Union flag is there draped (or should we say drooped these days) behind him – that flag no doubt a cause for a chuckle back there at Broadcasting House). And of course he’s wearing that suit seemingly borrowed off his smaller younger brother. His trouser bottoms half-way up his calves. As my old mum used to say “His trousers look as though they’ve had a row with his socks”
Don’t it make you proud to be British?

So, as expected, the “Conservatives”? got trounced by Labour in… somewhere or other…and the luvvies are crowing. Honestly, I couldn’t give a flying fig…
We’ve not had a conservative government, other than in name only, since these useless blighters got in 13 bloody years ago.
High tax, high spend, no borders, mass immigration, collecting the dinghy dodgers mid channel and putting them up in 4 star hotels and their absurd obsession with net zero. Who in their right mind would vote for them?
We’ve already got Labour, Liberal and Green parties, we need a party that is truly conservative.
And it ain’t this lot…

You are so right !
“Stop the Boats” and stop the Border Farce and the pull factor of 4 Star hotels for the ‘queue jumpers’ .

“Boris’s Red Wall is collapsing.”
Boris did not care – words = money.
For someone as mouthy and useless as Nadine Dorries – I thought we might have heard more about the loss of her seat – although one might suspect her constituents were an inconvenience rather than something of value . I think she didn’t get the peerage either ….
… and it seems a blue labour candidate at the bi election went off in a huff as soon as it became clear he was toast . I like that . Why wait around for the pantomime?
The joy expressed by comrade Robinson at these results came right out of the radio – not the words – the happiness .
But imagine a red labour 200 plus majority ? In thr face of the coming economic catastrophe – even worse than now – so much trouble – so many schemes and splits – the good old days ….
Free owls for all!
I read in the D Mail today that the PBC have published in its clarifications and corrections strand that they were wrong to assume ( and broadcast) that the Gaza hospital attack could have been from anywhere but Israel.
Strangely I can find no example of this apology coming first headline in any BBC news bulletin. They were rather less cautious with the original story of course.
You might think the PBC are geared up to headline every conceivable action against Gaza, and each and every civilian casualty, and belittle any atrocities and rocket attacks on Israel. I couldn’t possibly comment.

If it’s possible to repair potholes in the road in a war zone, at the Egyptian entrance to Gaza, ……….then why cannot the UK government do the same in this country, instead of prioritising a load of totally useless cycle lanes that almost no-one wants and even fewer actually use?
One of the problems with cycle lanes (as someone who used to rely on his bike to get around a lot) is that in this country they are virtually all completely useless – too short, wrong places, going nowhere useful – typically into a main road without any space for cycles, or a muddy field.
To work, roads and infrastructure really need to be built with bike users in mind (AND pedestrians AND vehicle drivers too!), cf. Holland, otherwise, why bother, they just ruin roads for vehicles.
The BBC ‘Live Update’ propaganda technique is doing it’s job just fine.
Every time I check their news, it has a different big banner headline telling me a new way in which Labour are great.
I did catch a glimpse of Sunak in another article earlier : they were calling him ‘Dr Death’.

“I ask my coaches a lot of questions,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“On certain occasions they haven’t been able to keep up with the questions I’ve asked and maybe that’s why it ended.”
Good old BBC. Never the woman’s fault. No hint anywhere that it might just be her awful personality.
She sounds like a complete f*cking nightmare to me.

…. to prove that it was an Israel air-strike on the Al-Ahli Hospital.

“An explosion at the Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza on Tuesday evening is feared to have killed hundreds of people.
It is still unclear exactly what happened. BBC Verify’s Merlyn Thomas examines the video we’ve been able to verify to unpick what we know so far.”
and yet there is a sound match of Hamas rockets on a BBC video here and also a sound match to an Israeli air strike:

The BBC don’t want to hear that Up2, so they’re not listening – a practice they share with toddlers, teenagers, and my dog when he’s chasing a squirrel.
BigBro, if it is a grey squirrel you need to encourage your dog to ‘get him’. I’m told that grey squirrel if cooked correctly makes a good meal and ‘tastes like chicken’. If it is a red squirrel, you need to call your dog off, chastise him severely, and put him back on his lead straight away.
Only grey squirrels around here Up2, the reds were driven out long before my time, by the more vicious, quicker breeding, disease carrying, greys. Someone introduced them for a bit of diversity, only they got out of control and wiped out the native reds, I think I read?

I wonder how ‘green’ Gaza is. Rockets must produce quite a lot of CO2, or are Hamas reducing ‘climate impact’ by removing lots of living people off the face of the Earth? Mind you, Palestinians tend to have big families themselves, enough not to worry about a few becoming ‘martyrs’ they say.

Living in the middle of the red warning zone for Storm Babet, I can confirm it was completely overblown hyperbole and exaggeration for all of us except the citizens of Brechin who had the River Esk burst it’s banks. It does this every couple of years, but due to the size of Brechin and it’s relative unimportance, nothing is done in terms of flood defences. We had rain and wind, some localised flooding, and many of our pubs and restaurants virtue signalled about ‘staying safe’ and ‘doing right by our staff and customers’ by closing early. But nothing I hadn’t seen maybe last year. Not sure why this happened, but suspect there might be govt money for such emergencies.
We had what used to be called in the olden days “rain”.
It seems the Yanquis are going to have to be careful with their ammo in the eastern Med and elsewhere.
I’m seeing what I think are high numbers of insiders from the pointy end elaborating shortages across all categories of munitions…. – due in large part to Ukraine.

Lord Dubbs – a Jew who came to the UK as a refugee in the 1930s – and had a far left career in labour – wants a plan to import Palestinian ‘refugees ‘ from Gaza …
….. he is also concerned about the rise of anti semitism in the UK …. But perhaps I read it wrong ….
Lord Dubbs… another turkey.
I have to assume some of these do gooders, the ones that may have initially thought the surprise slaughter was a bit off and actually said so, are well meaning but dumber than a Hamas rocket programmer.
What do they think is going to happen? If there is a ceasefire those that have stated Israel needs obliterating with every Jew in it just secure another breather to keep on trying.
And it seems Israel is at the limit of tolerating death by a thousand cuts, and is past hoping anyone in the West might see what they see down the line, and the hell with the protests at the UN or outside other seats of supposed government.
A few wiser heads might have finally got through to the upper echelons of a few governments, but with the media suppressing anything ‘at home’ to worry Mehdi Hasan’s cattle classes, their ‘too little too late’ grasp of reality points at a cluster-FUbAR globally, bar Russia and China, awaiting the moment to scoop up what’s left.
Lord Dubs is living proof that no good turn goes unpunished.
With regard to these great arbiters of true facts that the esteemed BBC Verify represent I would love to know the following.
On what planet do these kidults reside ?
What are their educational qualifications (if any)?

In my view anyone with internet access is therefore qualified to search on google.
I suppose young female and access to a selfie phone is adequate to be in this unit.
I would also love to know what vast sum of money the BBC pays this useless group.

‘Is Storm Babet linked to climate change’?
Never mind the rain, feel the agenda.
I recall a report yesterday saying the East coast of Scotland was about to experience its strongest storm and levels of rainfall in “HISTORY” or “EVER” or words to that effect….
Of course that was just a precursor to being able to use it to blame climate change which it seems quite a few zealous BBC-ites can’t wait to shoe horn in to the conversation at any chance they get.
Needless to say the BBC Armageddon turned out to a be a bit wet and blowy, like most autumn days in fact so was put back in the squirrels cupboard at the BBC.

‘I see Andrew Cooper who mocked poor people didn’t even have the grace to stay and listen to the winner’s speech. He flounced out, basically. Such a poor loser.’
With 642 upvotes to 45 downvotes.
How about this intellectual gem ?
‘Bye bye Tories.’
363 upvotes, 56 downvotes.
Totally out of line with general HYS voting. 100% certain it’s the spiteful idiots from the Lefty troll farm. With the BBC complicit of course.
Where’s Marianna for the REAL important fakes like this ?. They are basically trying to rig an election. Is she even still active after being exposed as a liar herself ?.
I think I should win a coconut !.
Dumb Britain.
Cars are shown in Brechin submerged by the floods.
But they have warned about this for two days.
And the actual flood area as defined by SEPA is quite small.
So it would have been very easy to move a car down the road, away from the river, to higher ground.
But …..doh! It didn’t happen.
Maybe they just fancied a new car, paid for by insurance.
Dear Marianne Spring of bBC Verify
Will all these underwater electric cars make Oxygen and Hydrogen and could I use this to reduce my fuel bills?

The BBC are just so thick it boggles the mind.
Grumbling on and on about the NHS waiting list and some poor chap who has had to fork out £15K for a private operation but completely unable to see any link with their beloved open door immigration policy.
They are infuriating.
NHS has not debt – What the £13bn debt write-off means for the NHS
MM, Just a slight ammendment:
“What the £13bn debt write-off means is that our antiquated inefficient wasteful operations can continue unabated and unhampered until Kingdom Come and we can strive toward another £13bn (or more) future write-off”.
After all, its only the public money in taxes we are squandering.
Why not cancel all debt and give them unlimited credit?
They will not change our way of life … oh wait …
“”With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of mourning.
“Given the volatility of world events, we have decided not to move forward with the 2023 MTV EMAs out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life.””

Bi election excuses – lesson 1
Governments don’t win bi elections
It was on local issues
They didn’t win it -we lost it
The turn out was small
It’s an opportunity to kick the government
Chose the wrong candidate
We didn’t really fight it
It’s not on our target list
The weather
Voters didn’t turn out
People didn’t know about it
The vote was split
People are fed up with politics
It was never a safe seat
Blah
Corbyn – we won the argument not the vote.
delusional
out of touch ?
in denial ?
“In the immediate aftermath of the blast, correspondent Jon Donnison said it was ‘hard to see’ what else it could be other than an ‘Israeli air strike’.”
Obviously I dont have the nous to be a journalist as my first reaction
was 50/50 did Hamas blow it up by accident or on purpose
Sadly being able to follow a Twitter thread is necessary here.
Truth on Palestine was delivered, as usual, with an Irish accent
Not sure how this bloke appeared on my timeline, but he was eulogising a BBC QT audience member. And again one has to wonder by what process out of so many such a creature gets in and gets called to…. screech.
Of course FiFi did try at the end to clarify the number of angels now dancing on a pin head, but the crone had got it all out.
Interestingly few in the audience were too thrilled. Sadly the clown on the panel was, as ever, useless in counter.
If you can, follow the comment thread; a few worthy efforts.
But again the BBC strives and achieves heat over light.
Let us liberate the city of Braford from the colonises!
A truly occupied territory.
Amazing isn’t it : they haven’t mentioned encouraging peace talks in Ukraine on the BBC one single time. And hundreds of thousands are dead over there.
The Left are the absolute pinnacle of hypocrisy. You can never predict their response to be based on right or wrong or any kind of reasonable logic. It depends solely on their far-Left agenda. People being killed doesn’t factor into it at all if it doesn’t suit them.
That chap with the blond hair – so full of hate – so glad people don’t bother with it –
