    Dear Fed up,

    I fully understand your stance generally on “Top talent”Nick Robinson and your comment about Man Utd, why even his co-presenters have started to groan at the lengths he is prepared to go to shoe horn a M.U. reference in. I had previously put this down to petty jealousy on their parts.Maybe there is more to it.
    If he does have a fault ,it’s the failure this week to make a full on air apology to Nadine Dorries. She stated recently in an interview with “Nick” when he made a reference to very expensive wallpaper in Downing St that “the wallpaper”was a myth and didn’t exist, quick as a flash “Nick”being the Ace reporter retorted he had seen it. The effect, though “Nick “couldn’t have realised it was to suggest Dorries was a liar.
    Fortunately, I have set up my own system for checking the facts, I have a Department that checks up on statements such as these and whilst I don’t have the funding for the 60 staff that BBC has in their “Verify”unit I’m afraid I only have one staff member in my equivalent unit ,which we call”Veriturd”. Anyway ,they have discovered that “Nick”did indeed get this one wrong , further it seems that being “Top talent” Nick has left it to others to deal with that particular turd. So as you can see I’m slowly beginning to see your point , so many thanks Fed up,

      Dear Friend

      Thank you for your message – which has been channeled to me by the staff at ‘biased central ‘… we have now created a comrade Robinson office to monitor this person and assess his threat level – which at the moment is designated as ‘critical ‘..

      My research department is calculating how many listeners switch off the moment he comes on as well as ocular damage caused by numbers of people rolling their eyes excessively …

      Our newly formed BBCOFCOM monitoring department is finding life difficult as BBCOFCOM does nothing to regulate its BBC relative ….

      My licence department monitors the number of times a bell rings in heaven as yet another TV licence is cancelled . They say it’s getting louder up there . There have been complaints…

    “No Sh*t Sherlock” !!

    Sir David Normington:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Normington

    Anybody hear the interview between above and Toenails on Toady earlier?

    In essence, Normington told the listener and the BBC that there is nothing whatever the Government can do about the Rubber Boat contents and in fact, anybody else that chooses to arrive in the UK as a person ‘Fleeing Persecution’ and seeking refuge in the comfortable (and free) embrace of the State Benefit system. The BBC joy was palpable.

    Why? well, the UK has willingly and enthusiastically signed up to every international ‘Compact’ and migration agreement ever proposed. Coming out the ECHR? Won’t make any difference. But there’s more: The drug addicts in Government, being hooked on legislation and even more legislation and even more, more, more have legislated themselves into a corner which is impossible to exit.

    Until a Trumpian type character arrives on the scene, the country is simply, fuc*ed.

    Well, here’s a thought: should the UK inform the Communist Government in the US that we would be willing to take in Trump as an exile if his current cause fails and ‘use’ his skills in the UK…………….

    A Napoleon Bonaparte ……………..

    Here’s what happens when you pile legislation on top of legislation on top of legislation ad infinitum, You end up with a putrid dense unenterable mat. Bit like ‘Shrek’ here:

    Just hearing the distopian future the fantasy land dwellers have in their mentally ill minds for us.

    Imagine a future where they can control the interest rates or how much you can borrow, or even if you can borrow, based on your ethnic group and sexual preference.

    This is the kind of power a CBDC will allow the muppets and why it must be absolutely resisted.
    They will promise you it won’t happen. They will promise that safeguards will be put in place, but all of this is just lies which you should not believe and backed up by the muppets past betrayals.

    Smart Meters will allow companies to know when you switch appliances on or off and determine if you are at home. They can also disconnect you remotely if you don’t pay or the load is too high.
    We were promised none of this would be possible, yet now we know it absolutely is being done.

    We hear constantly about an Orwellian future, when have you ever heard one of these muppets attempt to explain why it isn’t so and offer assurance?
    The answer is never, only condemnation for seeing the reality behind their evil schemes !

    I am delighted to learn that Fed up is also monitoring elements of the BBC . May I suggest they delve into the shocking downturn in Radio 4 Today programme listeners that “Top talent “Nick Robinson has dismissed as “news avoiders”,as distinct from people who are justifiably sick to death with the perpetual agenda nonsense the BBC would have us mistake for news.
    This may of course be a symptom of what I alluded to earlier, that is my concern for the levels of stress that Nick is coping with.
    The BBC must have him assessed as soon as possible as I fear he may be close to breaking point, he is clearly hallucinating regarding the “wallpaper in Downing St “but it may be worse. Heaven knows what may occur when it becomes all too much, he may find himself in therapy, or in the next bed on the same ward as “Top talent” Huw Edwards , incidently , still no news of his progress and general health and that from a world leading and much trusted news provider like the BBC .
    It really isn’t good enough, don’t these people realise just how much we care.

    “parents fear their toddlers will never get ‘miracle’ cystic fibrosis drug, with NHS watchdogs poised to cut-off supply due to its £200,000 price-tag.

    The anti-racism contract comes just weeks after ex-Health Secretary Steve Barclay wrote to NHS leaders slamming them for wasting taxpayer cash on costly diversity officers rather than spending it on frontline care.

    He wrote: ‘Current live adverts include jobs with salaries of up to £96,376, which is above the basic full-time pay for a newly promoted consultant.”

          Gay Conversion BAD.
          Trans Conversion GOOD.

          In the UK, the NHS currently do NOT offer reconstruction surgery. The NHS does offer a procedure called ‘de-infibulation’ for women who have had FGM Type 3 (or pharaonic circumcision). This surgery opens the scar tissue that covers the urine hole and vaginal opening.

          The so-called medics should familiarise themselves with the Doctors Trial at Nuremburg after WWII. One of the attempted defences was that some of the things they did, horrific as they were, were not technically illegal or in violation of the Hippocratic Oath ‘to do no harm’. The response of the prosecutors was that the accused should nevertheless have reasonably anticipated that their deeds would subsequently be considered illegal and that they would be punished. In other words, that the law would be applied retrospectively.

          It can be argued that the same applies to medics involved in gender reassignment (sic) surgery, at least in the case of those patients unable to give informed consent. This would include children under the age of 18, those receiving treatment for mental issues, and those who – even if it was explained to them – did not fully understand the possible issues and consequences of the so-called treatment. Legislation to prosecute and punish those involved in such actvities, either directly (doctors, surgeons, consultants etc) or indirectly (e.g. charities, activists, NGOs) should be implemented and applied retrospectively to any violations since, say, the passing of the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

    Bowen: Ceasefire demands will grow without proof of Hamas HQ at Al-Shifa
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67453105

    Look at this absolutely disgusting piece from Bowen trying to imply that there were no Hamas at the hospital and thus Israel attacked it just to kill sick people.

    ‘The evidence Israel has produced, so far, I do not believe to be convincing in terms of the kind of rhetoric Israelis were using about the set-up at the hospital’

    Nobody give a flying f*ck what you think any more Bowen you terrorist sympathiser.

    His line seems to be that he knows full well Hamas were using it – so his careful wording is to say it wasn’t a big HQ ‘nerve centre’ as he claims Israel said.

    And he has the absolute arrogance to say this:
    ‘We have to remember that there is no independent scrutiny inside the hospital; journalists cannot move freely into Gaza, and any who are reporting from the site are working under the aegis of the Israeli military.’

    And what about the BBC reporters who LIVE in Gaza and are as absolutely biased as anyone can be ?. Who is scrutinising them Jeremy ?. And nothing to say about the BBC giving statements from a terrorist organisation equal weighting in reports as those from respectable democracies such as Israel and the USA ?.

    He’s now claiming they have to find a major headquarters underground there or he will blame Israel for the whole thing. And I am quite certain, whatever they find won’t be big enough to stop him doing that.

    This man is a disgrace to the word ‘journalist’ and if you want to know why all those Muslims feel confident enough to basically terrorize our streets with their aggressive protests, look no further than Jeremy. Who would be out there with them if he could.

    And shame on you BBC for giving him a soapbox to do it.

          The key point that all this activist, political and media effort in response to war casualties has only kicked in on behalf of one side in one war.

          Until that point sinks home it is all heat over light, selectively.

      Ah, I see the BBC has reached the *maybe the pile of Kalashnikovs in the Gazan hospital actually belonged to the hospital security team* stage of their Israel reporting.

      ‘Frankly not convincing’ back to JonDonn territory.

      But it has dragged the narrative away from what started all this, namely a deliberate atrocity outrage to provoke the Israelis into to the slaughter zone with the IDF on one side and an awful lot of media ‘what Katushyas?’ From the other.

      You do not have firefights with no one.

    A rather amusing story about a couple of Eco loons in Germany who beliving in lies fantasy and fairy tales had come to believe that logging in a certain forest had caused the native brown bears to leave their lairs and were exposed and vulnerable to the cold and not hibernating.

    So said idiot decides to check on one of the lairs only to waken a mamma bear from its slumber when it promtly began to tear him apart for his idiotic intervention.

    Puts me in mind of the ship of fools episode

    The moral of the story is that there’s no fool like a Left wing fool and there’s none greater than the eco loons !

      He called me a conspiracy theorist for suggesting the USA blew up the Nord Stream. Despite being unable to give me any credible reason Russia would do it.

      I was stunned by how certain he was yet had no argument to support it. He grew more and more frustrated and in the end he shouted ‘I’m bored with this now, change the subject’.

      This is the power the BBC have. They keep repeating what they want us to think while not telling us the bits they don’t want to know. Mr and Mrs Average end up believing it without question.

    The BBC does not know what a woman is, but it sure knows what a man is. It’s definition appears to be: “Any foreign male convicted of a serious offence against an indigenous person, but we wish to hide it from you”. Yet another example appears today on its website, in which we are told that ‘Ashling Murphy: Man sentenced to life for Irish teacher’s murder’. The article helpfully introduces ‘Jozef Puska, 33, from Lynally Grove in Mucklagh, County Offaly’. Puska, eh? Doesn’t sound like an Irish name. And that’s because it isn’t and he isn’t from County Offaly. He might have been living there but he’s a Slovakian national and needed a Slovakian translator during the court case. Now, in fairness, that information is contained within the article, but the BBC works on the assumptions of ‘first impressions count’ and that most people only read the headline rather than the detail.

    There is no reason to believe that the nationality of the perpetrator is necessarily significant. If, say, 1% of the population of Ireland are Slovakian (or Polish, Nigerian, Australian, Japanese or whatever), then it is to be expected that on average 1% of the criminals and 1% of the victims will be of that nationality. It is only when the figure is disproportionate to the population that we can ask if there is some sort of issue. But what is significant is that the BBC systematically tries to obfuscate the nationality, race and religion of foreign criminals, but to emphasise them when they are victims.

    Sorry for lateness and if this has already been mentioned.

    The BBC referred to the ones that wanted to attend the Cenotaph as Counter Protesters . Ok , so in their world there were protesters and counter protesters – two sides to a dispute.
    In the Middle East there are two sides in a violent dispute – Israeli soldiers and Hamas .

    The BBC said it could not refer to Hamas as a terrorist organisation because it wanted to be impartial.
    But in the case of the London protests ( and in their eyes counter protests) they refer to the ones who wanted to guard the Cenotaph as ‘ thugs ‘ .
    So they do take sides

        War crimes are only ever committed by western imperialists, and covered up by British special forces. That seems the rule.

        How are things going in Sudan? The Economist reports “A genocidal militia is winning the war”. Judging by the lack of interest from the BBC, it must be a squeaky clean campaign and the ethnic cleansing is taking care to dot all i’s and cross all t’s.

          Mohamed Farrah Aidid was one of Somalia’s most dangerous and aggressive warlords. He was instrumental in the overthrow of communist dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. After the ouster of Barre, Somalia fell into a period of civil war, where rival factions competed for power, led by former military officers, who became warlords. Aidid’s faction became known as the United Somali Congress (USC) in 1991.

          Meanwhile, his son, Hussein Farrah Aidid, was busy serving in the United States Marine Corps during Desert Storm. Neither knew the son would follow in his father’s footsteps.

      Jeremy is trying to set a bar to invalidate Israels reasons for attacking the hospital.

      The clue is in the wording : he is not saying there are no Hamas in the hospital now. He’s trying to imply there were not enough to justify what Israel did.

      He’s saying it needs a major HQ under there to justify it. Just a bit bigger than whatever they find.

      Of course the terrorist-supporting hypocrite does not go anywhere near that it is now basically proven that Hamas were using the sick, wounded and children in hospital for human shields.

      Which makes him a disgusting human being in my book.

        It was poor information expectation management by the Israelis, exploited to the full.

        IT IS A WAR. There is shooting that needs suppressing. Two more hostages are also dead so a time factor.

        All part of the BBC ‘proportionality’ smokescreen.

        If you don’t want kids caught in crossfire, don’t send drugged up nutjobs across the border with orders to cause atrocities, and don’t hide behind kids or the sick as you retreat from the response.

        And given two doctors of faith in this country tried to blow up Glasgow Arrivals in this country, frankly JezBo, the medical profession tending their boys from the front, sides and downstairs are hardly credible bystanders any more.

        I read they were burying hundreds on the grounds. Anyone checked this for numbers and wounds? Albeit a 10yo with a fatal wound means nothing either if junior was covering Uncle Mo’s getaway down a tunnel with a ‘security’ AK.

        Maybe they need such firepower in case one of the ladies of Gaza decides to pop back unhappy with the care given.

        Hamas is a terrorist organisation, not the Pentagon. How big do they expect the “command centre” to be? A few tables and chairs, some computers and phones, that’s all they need.

    The scum we let into the UK:

    “Piers Morgan aghast after guest brands Winston Churchill a ‘war criminal’ in furious row
    Piers Morgan was left in disbelief as he slammed his guest saying he “didn’t know what he was talking about.

    Mr Hijab left both Mr Morgan and Rabbi Shumley aghast as he doubled down on his controversial opinion on the former Prime Minister credited with leading the defeat of the evil Nazis who killed 12 million in World War 2.

    Talking on the Talk TV show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, Mr Hijab said: “Churchill was wrong. Yes, he was. Yes, he was. Churchill was a war criminal.”

    The repetition of BBC visuals show they’re keen to report on human suffering so long as it fits a particular brief. Any other kind of human suffering, not so much.

      In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

      ……………..

      Citizens for a Free Kuwait (CFK) was an astroturf operation established by the Kuwaiti government to persuade the American public to look favourably on US military action in the Persian Gulf (the subsequent Operation Desert Storm). Its principal payment was to public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, who were associated with the false testimony to the US Congress given by Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ.[1][2]

      PR firm accused of greenwashing big oil is helping organise COP27
      The US agency has a “shameful track record of spreading disinformation” but has been hired by the Egyptian government

      https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/cop27-hillknowlton-pr-greenwash-egypt/

      Hill+Knowlton Strategies, which has worked for ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron and Saudi Aramco, is managing communications for Egypt’s presidency of the UN climate conference, which will take place next month in Sharm El Sheikh.

      Hill+Knowlton’s clients have also included Coca-Cola, which last month was controversially named as a sponsor of the conference despite having been declared the world’s worst corporate plastic polluter for four years in a row.

        “It’s not inconceivable that the pile of kalashnikovs belonged to the hospital security department”.Rather than applying Occam’s Razor, @BowenBBC strains every sinew to cast doubt on the claim that the hospital was being used by Hamas terrorists.

        It’s not inconceivable that this latest dire example of BBC partiality will garner a few complaints to be blown off by Sopes’/Simpo’s mates in the ECU and OFCOM.

        It is already getting embedded as ‘received opinion; that a BBc staffer has a thought the BBc has aired.

        Actually a nifty way to get damning evidence out after being used to bring humanitarian supplies in.

        Don’t Hamas ambulances have Ma Deuces on the roof?

        Perfect for work experience credits when this cove goes back for the Xmas hols…

      Well. I suppose white,conservative,heterosexual males don’t suffer and if they do it is no more than they deserve and we should all go outside at 8pm and clap their well deserved misery.
      I shall now apply for a job at the BBC with absolute confidence of success.

    I am going to vote Reform at the next GE.

    However.

    Watching GB News when Richard Tice is on I can’t help thinking that his presentation isn’t very good.
    I agree with all that he says but it’s how he says it.
    He sounds angry all the time.

    Compare that with Farage who comes over as very well spoken or Ben Habib who is also a good listen even though he can get a bit angry at times.
    I don’t think Richard Tice would be a good PM although it’s far too early for that.

    I like GB News but they are getting more and more mad lefties on, no need to list them but you will all know who I mean.
    They also have some wet lefties as their various heads of this, that and the other. Nelson and Chope come to mind.
    I find I’m switching over to Talk TV more and more.
    They also have some lefties but none so fanatical as on GBN.
    The likes of Alex Philips and Mike Graham are a good watch for example.

    Of the two channels I would say Talk TV is probably a bit more to the right as GBN is getting ever more lefties on.

    I .agree EM I thought it was just me but Tice not only appears angry, but also shouts his delivery. Whether it’s the studio acoustics I don’t know but Bev Turner is another loudmouth, not forgetting all those so called comedians who take over at 11 pm

    Tice needs to calm down or he won’t be getting my vote either.

      Whoever invented the TV/Mobile phone on/off switch must have been a genius. Used wisely this handy device could solve the U.K. mental health crisis and deprive the BBC of ALL of it’s audience.

    A peaceful night out with some mates watching the football on channel 4.

    The first ten minutes, chief wokeist Gareth Southgate and some black agitator lecturing people on racism.

    TURN IT IN, as cockney comic Mike Reid would have said. I want to just watch the game.
