    If I was the MD of a private company, and discovered that I’d lost 800,000 customers in a year, I’d be pretty pissed off, and would have had the team on the floor for a bollocking, pretty damned quick!

    Beeboids, you can ignore the way normal business works – you haven’t a clue!

    Little Britain sketch racist and outdated, Ofcom audience research says
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67273423

    Goodness me – an entire article to tell us that an OFCOM poll of just 115 people found one sketch from Little Britain to be offensive. We aren’t told how many of course – by the wording of the article it could just have been one or two. It’s suspiciously vague.

    Sounds insignificant to me. It tells me that all the other sketches etc they were trying to use so justify their next set of rules didn’t go according to plan and nobody objected.

    Another gem from what is now the standard BBC reporter type:

    Just heard “thousands” of deaths and “huge crater” repeated twice on R4 news after a purported on site report of 47 corpses after an Israeli air attack in Northern Gaza that the IDF claimed as an attack on a Hamas bunker with a boss in it. It simply wasn’t made clear if the BBC newsreaders were talking about the same event – no specifics given.

    “Collateral damage” is a term I detest and killing non combatants is not good. In this case I felt that the inference was there that the dead were *all* civilians. thousands killed, huge crater.

    The imprecision in language and (repeated) hyperbole was I feel quite deliberate – no source attribution was given for events in Gaza beyond “local reporters” for the body count, much “UN says” and Orla Guerin….. “thousands killed by Israeli airstrike”

    The BBC aren’t doing themselves any favours with this “thousands killed , huge crater in Israeli airstrike ( note not “airstrikes”) looping repeat stuff…. obvious copy ‘n paste in the script

    BBC has fallen madly in love with Hamas’s tunnel network, no need to call in the verify team, they’ll believe what they want to be true. Guess bbc is lusting for a Viet Cong style
    subterranean battle tactic.

    “WATCH: Breaking down videos from Gaza’s secret tunnels”

    “In the below video, the BBC’s security correspondent Gordon Corera analyses videos from inside the network of tunnels – thought to cover around 483 km (300 miles) under Gaza”

    300 miles total length? Bullshit😕
    The gaza strip is only 141 sq mi (Wikipedia)

      First send into the tunnels Fact-Check bBC reporters with tape measures.

      Then fill the tunnels full of sea water and measure the volume used. Then divide by the average cross sectional area will give the total tunnel length.

    Covid enquiry

    I tuned in to some f*ckwit [ (c) UKHSE head ] lawyer questioning Dominic Cummings.

    Even more attitude and brainlessness than the average bBC reporter. This massive waste of public money should be ended. Then the lawyers can be sent to do some proper jobs so that they can learn common sense, they surely have none now.

      Next time you are going to be locked down harder than your arse could even imagine. There is no virus of course, but they have managed to implant the notion of GoF and viruses so deeply into the minds of the dummies that it has become real. That is how good they are and why the vast majority do not deserve to live in their eyes – they call you useless eaters for a reason . To be honest – they have a point.

      Today I got my INVESTIGATION OPENED notification complete with fake printed BIG RED “Enforcement Visit Approved” rubber stamp initialled by some piece of sh** called Scott Robson “Enforcement Manager, Guildford”

      It’s 15 years+ since I paid the BBC

      Envelope resealed, prominent Foxtrot Oscar message and “Return to Sender” into post box – at least the postie will have something different to look at…

      Just thinking about it the next letter will have http://www.biasedbbc.tv on the outside too!

    France is grappling with a big rise in antisemitic incidents.

    Political leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron, have warned of the risk of “importing” tensions caused by the Israel-Hamas war into France.

    “importing” tensions

    ……..
    Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

    FFS!

    National Crime Agency (NCA) has called for import restrictions on the motors used on small boats to reduce people smuggling.

    As a demonstration of utter, stellar clueless ineptness this has to be up there!

    Like I keep saying – paying a bounty of say £5000 for every valid video of a single rubber boat disabled / destroyed would likely stop the gits in weeks (days morelike).

      tomo,
      They haven’t got a clue have they ! .
      Stop RNLI and Border Farce Taxi Services.
      Stop paying the Invaders that are here.
      Empty the Hotels and Deport the Rubbish.
      That will do for week one ……
      If only we had a Government that did what the majority wanted !
      But we’re up against the BBC and Civil Serpents so there’s little hope…..very very sad

        Charlie Farley – the people traffickers are getting the boats and engines delivered to the UK and then exporting them to France to fill with migrants and sail back to the UK ?

        Inspector Clouseau would be proud.

        Right bunch of talented sleuths aren’t they?

        I wonder if a crowdfunder bounty might stir things up some?

        Fed up / angry with the small boats?

        Your £5 pledge to http://www.boatbusters.co.uk will only be drawn on in the event of a successful boat destruction evidenced by geolocated smartphone footage complying with our Terms + Conditions.

      Pay pensioners a £1M/year bounty for each outboard motor hit and disabled while still in French waters.
