‘I’m helpless’ – Gaza doctor tells of desperate situation
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-middle-east-67644334
Another report on water running out, how many weeks have been told now that water is running out!
PS the doctor works for Hamas, makes me wonder about all these people the bbc find to interview
Nearly our UK leader – HA HA HA HA – Corbyn met with Hamas boosters in UK parliament in 2015 — report
Six months before being elected Labour leader, MP spoke to extremists who praised suicide bombers and called for attacks on British troops

It seems The Sun is reporting that the licence tax is to increase by £10 next year – not the £15 the BBC wanted . The BBC has announced that as a result the top 10 most highly paid will be dismissed with immediate effect ( this sentence may be a lie )
“The BBC has announced that as a result the top 10 most highly paid will be dismissed with immediate effect ( this sentence may be a lie )”
Yes, I’m sure I’ve heard that Fed, but I’m not sure if it is a lie or not!
Does anyone else here think it’s a lie, especially as the BBC are strapped for cash to pay these expensive people!
Sources say that indeed, several of the highest paid BBC people are expected to go!
Surely this needs to be looked at very seriously, as there’s a lot of money at stake if these people lose their jobs! Their pensions will have to be topped up, and we know that the BBC doesn’t have that cash, and they’ll not be getting the fifteen quid they wanted to cover the money they’ve lost on citizens giving up their licences, so surely, like any responsible private company would say, they have to cut costs!
Let’s hope that Verify can investigate and give a satisfactory explanation!
Scroblene – sadly I made it up
BTW – Sunak called a press conference for 11am Thursday – with an hours’ notice ….. what’s up ?
Popcorn ready …
Sources say that you are right, Fed!
I’m reliably informed by contacts in various positions of power, that the top people taking, (not earning) over £750,000 pa are to be sacked!
I think The Guardian might know this as well!

As Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the financial times, says: ‘The desirability of sizeable immigration is a matter more of values than of economics. It is not a choice between wealth and poverty, but of the sort of country one desires to inhabit.’

Well, his opening statement was an indisputable call to political arms. He warned the assembled oil sheiks, billionaire philanthropists and vast numbers of sustainability bureaucrats that the world was dreadfully far off-track, approaching ‘tipping points’, and then it came, the m-word – since the 2015 Paris Agreement, there was almost 40 per cent more methane in the atmosphere.
Ah the Tories poster boy, the man they tried to use as a front to show they were still conservatives, the utterly useless and inept Foggy Moggy might be having to downsize his life as his income stream begins to dry up.
The Tories loved to defend Foggy with the claim that he can’t be all that thick as he is a partner in Somerset Capital Management which is where he derives a nice dividend every year, but that is not going to carry on much longer as today it is announced (Sorry everything paywalled) Somerset Capital has lost a major client (St James Place) and is less than half the size it once was.
The FT reports the company is to “Wind Down” as opposed to winding up as a result of these losses, and to be honest, once the financial crash comes it’s highly likely it will be winding up instead.

In the 12 months to November 30, the fund has lost 7.1 per cent. It is down 24.8 per cent over three years, and down 21.6 per cent over five years. The fund’s performance places it in the fourth quartile among peers for all three periods.

How can anybody think that the Rwanda policy would make the number of enrichers popping over decrease.
It will never get going but just suppose it did, after about 4 or 5 boats, a mornings worth, the Rwanda allocation would be full. The end.
It will not stop any of them coming in.
We will be getting swaps from Rwanda so the numbers will not be dropping.
I think Patrick Christy on GBN last night was showing the waiting enrichers on the French beaches all laughing at it. They know it will never happen.
Even if it did, the odds are so low that anyone will go to Rwanda and even if someone did end up there, what’s to stop them coming back for another go.
Do our politicians really think this is the answer. If yes then they are fantastically stupid. If no then they are intentionally lying to us all.

This article explains why the Dubs Amendment was important and what happens next in the fight to protect vulnerable child refugees.

Try refreshing the page. This particular site can be frustrating in that respect. Sometimes images don’t seem to appear but others might still be able to see them.
It might be necessary to wait a few seconds and refresh more than once.

No worries. The BBC is following natural evolution: it is dying on the vine. I look forward to increasing public departures so the £10.50 is excellent news. It’ll lose more public along the way.

Bbc at it again . Agatha Christie drama
Murder is easy. Lead character is a person of colour. Don’t remember that in the book. Another program not to watch. Our heritage being totally destroyed by the BBC
Yes they , the BBC, are intent on forcing the British to adopt a new identity , a multicultural one . An important prerequisite is to weaken , destroy the culture of the natives making them less resistant to newcomers.
The benefits of destroying our ancient society and re-engineering it with the new multyculty one is what exactly!?
It doesn’t seem to occur to them that the transformation , which is against the wishes of the majority , May not be outstandingly successful, that there are huge risks, that the new arrivals might not wish to be part of a multicultural multi faith society. ( obviously the wishes of indigenous population count for nought or the transformation would never have been attempted in the first place) . That different cultures haven’t usual got along very well in most places throughout history. That one of the main new cultures ,Islam, has about the worst track record in history in peaceful coexistence with others of different faiths.
Given all these obvious risks no sane person would run this project. It’s risks far outweigh any benefit.
Whenever I see that the BBC is practising it’s gross cultural appropriation by pushing non whites into white roles, I think how sensible it was to stop paying the LF and how justified my loathing of the BBC is.
Double,
” the new multyculty one is what exactly!?

Dear BBC:
Not watching your PC rubbish is even easier.
Quite right Rob, the awful BBC have had it in for Agatha Christie for years, as they have Enid Blyton.
Both these fabulous women wrote so much and so well, and they encouraged readers all over the world to enjoy a good read and a well-written story!
I don’t think the Beeboid mentality runs to anything more than flogging their own trashy programmes to death.
Scrob,
It occurs to me that such as series would eventually sell in black countries and / or Asian. All to do with Globalism and spreading the load.
Johnda,
“Lead character is a person of colour. Don’t remember that in the book”
ITV at it again . ‘Agatha Christie’s Poirot’;
Lead character is an English person born in Paddington. Don’t remember that in the book. Another program not to watch. Our heritage being totally destroyed by ITV.
.
maxincony,
I’m afraid your comparison doesn’t hold water.
The lead character of Poirot is not “an English person born in Paddington,” David Suchet is an English actor born in Paddington.
And TV dramas like Poirot utilise the same conventions as cinema. Unlike theatre, they are about pictorial realism.
The point you miss Maxi is that David Suchet looked the part, absolutely spot on as Poirot was described by Christie.
Physically, of course, British and Belgians aren’t so dissimilar, and I’d guess Suchet was probably of at least part French ancestry from his name, and his appearance, Huguenot like Farage most likely? Which would, of course, fit nicely with him being a French speaking Walloon, as Christie wrote. He was in fact, beautifully well cast for the role, exactly as Christie described him.
You Maxi are clearly too pig ignorant and uneducated to understand any of this, though. Do you really think it’s okay to replace characters in classic literature with actors of different ethnicities, regardless of what the author wrote, or the historical context? Do you think a white Nelson Mandela would be alright, if not, does that not make you a hypocrite? It’s not your fault, I guess, you seem to have been brainwashed, or rather woke-washed, and don’t understand just how mad you sound.
I notice there is a new ‘historical drama’ series on ITV set in the ‘Anglo-Saxon era’ with a typically West African looking black guy in it – how exactly was that supposed to happen? How did he physically get from Nigeria to Britannia? If it’s so hard for illegal gimmigrants to make that journey in 2023, how much harder must it have been in 623?
Bet you can’t wait for the Xmas special of ‘Vera’ maxi.
I’ll watch it until the first black person appears who has clearly been shoehorned by agenda into a place you would never find them in real life.
I fully expect that will be less than 10 minutes. Probably before the opening credits.
When that appears though, I expect you will get the old John Thomas out and knock one off. Partly because you are looking at black people, but mostly because of the kick you get knowing the people you hate will be infuriated by it.
Because that’s what drives trolls like you. Extreme spite and hate at the Right along with your warped, far-Left mentality which cannot cope with the REAL world. Every day must be filled with frustration and anger.
In some ways I feel sorry for you. You must have a miserable life to be so full of hate that you troll forums using any trick you can – no matter how unethical.
Tell us : do we get Thursday because that’s the night you abuse whatever substances you partake of to cope with your demons – or do you have a different forum to troll every day of the week ?.
your own post describes your own post.
instead of making personal attacks on maxicony, which is without a doubt the lowest form of argument, you should be grateful that at least an alternative point of view is offered, because you never know, you might just be wrong once in a while.
Maxi never, ever offers an alternative point of view Rightside. That is the whole point. He snipes, mis-quotes and presents things ‘out of context’ through sheer spite. He has no interest whatsoever in entering into any debate. He hits and runs.
No need to ask where his one ‘like’ came from. It wasn’t there when I wrote my comment.
Maxi, let’s face it , Beeb’s viewing numbers are dropping like a “lead balloon” . Your trolling on this site only make it worse .

20MPH limits. Can I ask you a question?
Could be my imagination but within the new 20 limits the speed cameras locations are no longer manned. Disappeared more like. I mentioned this in my Workies and was told that the cameras are only seen on main roads where the limit is different/higher. No one prosecuted yet apparently for > 20mph areas(?).
My conclusion? A > 20mph prosecution may result in a legal challenge to the legal legitimacy. The ‘law’ could come crashing down. Got to be the Governments greatest fear – scrutiny. How say you?

Notes from 800 meters up
By Siobhan Wagner
Standing at the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, you experience time differently. With views that stretch for miles across the Dubai skyline, and (when it’s less hazy) out to the desert, the sun sets later for you than those on the ground.
It’s a fitting metaphor for me and and a group of colleagues this evening as we’ve spent the last 24 hours speculating when the sun will set on these negotiations at COP.
____
A fitting metaphor is a bunch of media girlies, and some wimmin, atop a Islamophallus pretending to be ‘doing something’.

The Marxist Blue Labour excuse for a government have given the BBC a rise in the TV tax. and people are not happy at all.
Lucy Frazer Commisar for the Telly has said they are going to look at the funding model, but don’t get your hopes up, no Marxist state has ever allowed its state broadcaster be subject to the vagaries of the markets, and the Tories will be no different.
If they can’t get you to volutarily cough up the TV tax, they will force you to pay whether you want to or not probably through the council tax where you can be imprisoned if you don’t pay.
Do you think that if we paid the full council tax minus the levy for the BBC, we would still be pursued by the council with the same vigour?
I agree that the council tax is a likely vehicle for the BBC blood money but I reckon it’s unlikely that councils will use the full force of the law to get the BBC’s money provided they have got their own dosh off us.
Might be worth a try .
I would be very much tempted.
I guarantee that Councils will pursue every last pound. A liability order supposedly from Magistrates Court will cost you £50-£100. Bailiff enforcement will cost you £600.
It’s a matter of scale as usual. If enough people refuse to pay the BBC levy then the authorities can do nothing to enforce it.
These guys are, apparently, struggling, which is a shame as they have a few interesting posts.

I had to savour this:
“You must understand that Lauterbach is not only the dumbest federal politician Germany has ever had. He also ranks among the least competent, most bafflingly idiotic people ever to have attained prominence of any kind.”
Yet the BBC cites Germany as the font of all that is good in all things, all the time.
“In which Jay Bhattacharya punks Karl Lauterbach for a bizarrely mistaken rant about John Ioannidis, & the German media realise their health minister is an international laughingstock”
health minister is an international laughingstock
health minister is an international laughingstock
“We have seen the enemy, and it is this sad, stupid, Smeagol-looking loser, who thinks Eric Feigl-Ding is an authority and that clip-on bowties are fashionable.”
The Conservative Party MUST break up.
It is so far to the left there is almost no difference between them and Labour.
All the lefty Conservative MPs who joined the conservatives because that was the only way they would get elected need to go.
They can actually join the Labour Party now as they will now have more chance of being elected in the next GE.
The real conservatives need to replace all these lefty conservatives before the next GE and there should be a true right v left choice.
It would mean about 65% of the current lot being kicked out into their real homes of Labour and libdem.
Only then would the Conservatives be electable again.
Join Reform and real Conservatives together and they have a chance.
Reform are now polling ahead of the Liberal (not)Democrats.
I wonder how the vastly disproportionate number of Lib-Dem voters who work at the BBC are dealing with that. I suspect they are simply ignoring it the same as everything else they don’t like.
Kelsey Grammer was cut off in a six-minute interview with the BBC after the actor acknowledged that he supports former President Donald Trump. Grammer was talking to Justin Webb on ‘Today’ BBC Radio 4, to discuss his new “Frasier” reboot. During the BBC interview, Grammer mainly talked about bringing the show back, specifically mentioning Roseanne Barr’s comeback six years ago. Grammer’s comment about Trump comes at the very end of the six-minute radio segment. Unfortunately for Grammer, Roseanne Barr is also a Trump supporter.
Ruth Perry: Ofsted inspection ‘contributed’ to head teacher’s death
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-67639942
This case is clear before you even start. Ruth had mental weaknesses which meant she was unable to cope after being criticised by OFSTED.
A tragedy yes – but she should not have been made Head if she had such issues. The BBC don’t go anywhere near that.
The huge elephant in the room here is how the BBC publicly persecute people they don’t like – and that’s without any actual evidence – to an enormous degree given the resources of their publicly funded empire. Just look at how they have dealt with ALL the Bexit supporting Ministers, never mind a duly elected PM and the likes of Russel Brand.
The pressure on all of those was enormous and I would not have been surprised if any one of them took their own lives.
As always with the hypocrite Left : it’s only wrong when someone else does it.
The best bit for me was:
‘”The inquest… has shown the brutal inhumanity of the system of Ofsted inspections,” she said, “Ofsted likes to judge people with single word labels. We could judge the current Ofsted system with our own labels: callous, perverse and inhumane.’
Again EXACTLY what the Left do. They create a negative label then slap it on everybody they don’t like. Just look how the BBC are simply calling everybody who is not left-wing ‘far-right’ these days.
Hypocrisy and double standards by the BBC and the Left on a epic scale. Nothing new to see here.
BBC gave me PTSD?

‘Writer and Poet Benjamin Zephaniah dies age 65’.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67646607
Me neither.
One wonders why he warrants such a significant place in the BBC news until you read that he was a good friend of Lenny Henry (the only comedian in the world who never said anything funny) and see his picture.
Here he is at the ‘One Big No anti-war concert, at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London’
Among the ‘acheivements’ of his life, the BBC are proud to inform us:
‘In 2012, Zephaniah was chosen to guest edit an edition of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.’
Tells us everything we need to know. Total Lefty.
Anyone on the Right died recently BBC ?. Or don’t you care ?.
Dis Poetry
by Benjamin Zephaniah
Benjamin Zephaniah
Dis poetry is like a riddim dat drops
De tongue fires a riddim dat shoots like shots
Dis poetry is designed fe rantin
Dance hall style, big mouth chanting,
Dis poetry nar put yu to sleep
Preaching follow me
Like yu is blind sheep,
Dis poetry is not Party Political
Not designed fe dose who are critical.
Dis poetry is wid me when I gu to me bed
It gets into me dreadlocks
It lingers around me head
Dis poetry goes wid me as I pedal me bike
IÕve tried Shakespeare, respect due dere
But did is de stuff I like.

“People called me white jack
Some hailed me as a white wog,
So I joined de white watch
Trained as a white guard
Lived off the white economy.
Caught and beaten by de whiteshirts
I waz condemned to a white mass,
Don’t worry,
I shall be writing to de Black House.”

Just another race-baiting lefty.
A sad loss to who. Another lefty parasite worshipped by the bBBC I guess not by anyone else. Probably his family.
Goes around ….. no loss .
I’m guessing this ‘One Big No anti-war concert’ made no reference to Ukraine?
On the back page of the Radio Times next week ……a regular article, this week featuring……James o’Brien.
As is to be expected, his left wing credentials are on full display. And that’s OK. We know where he stands and we can agree or disagree.
The point is that some t*** at the BBC actually gave him a job on Newshite in the first place. Impartial? My a***, as Jim Royal might say.
And that’s how the BBC works. Recruit people who will support and portray their left wing Guardianista agenda and then pretend to be impartial.
All someone would have to do to prove the bias of the BBC beyond any doubt would be to do an anonymous staff survey to see who voted for Brexit and who voted Tory last time.
Which to me simply proves the bias of those who are supposed to be enforcing it.
And as we’ve seen recently, any politician who campaigns to abolish the license fee is removed from office by leaks from civil servants to the BBC leading to totally lopsided, daily BBC front page headlines until they are forced to quit.
It shows how deep the rot goes by the fact everyone who should be doing something about it is silent.
Did I just hear that right?
The firefighters who fought the Grenfell Tower fire are to receive an out of court settlement for the ‘trauma’ suffered on the night.
Absolutely unbelievable. You can now sue for doing your job!!!!!
If this is the case then firemen should receive the minimum wage as a basic and then get bonus payments for when they actually do their actual job of fighting a fire.
In which case I see no reason why the descendants of every service person killed or injured or even getting scared by big bangs in WW1 and WW2 also getting wads from the public purse including interest as accrued to date.
And not to forget those firemen who pulled bodies out of flattened house at the time in a lot of UK cities.
The Grenfell fire crew cash grab by these unmentionables is a bloody insult based on pure greed! no doubt some dewey-eyed judge will wave it through for brownie points as it won’t be their cash handed over.

“Fury as Bristol University professor, 78, calls for ‘somebody to blow up the venue’ while Jewish Labour Movement hosts its annual conference.
A former Labour councillor and Emeritus Professor at a prestigious university has called for ‘someone to blow up the venue’ where the Jewish Labour Movement is hosting its annual conference.
In a now-deleted Tweet, Harriet Bradley, 78, who worked at Bristol University, re-shared a poster advertising the event.
The offensive post has led to a furious backlash from the Jewish community, with the sociology professor, who studies the ‘inequalities of class, gender, ethnicity’, being reported to the police and her former employer. ”

This chap Jeremiah, who is being lauded over the main news channels at the reporting of his death, apparently turned down an OBE because ‘he had been fighting everything to do with the Empire, colonialism and racism all his life so an award with the word Empire in it …..’ – was an anathema to him.
If we are so bloody awful as a nation, culture and a race, why didn’t he f… off somewhere else to live. It makes my blood boil that the UK is continually castigated with such vitriol, yet the moaners never leave and still come here by the boat load. Shame we can’t set a load of sharks free in the Channel.
If there were no empire then how the hell did his lot get here to stay ?
Rather than empty words, he should have walked the walk and gone back then ?

Ah the Thursday night troll ….
Anyway …. Much thrashing of OFSTED over its gestapo tactics when ‘inspecting ‘ primary schools …. The offender not named – even after the coroners’ report ….
But it then made he think about the effectiveness of other tax funded inspectors .,,, let’s make a list – first BBCOFCOM – the clue is in the name – it bullies little GBNews on behalf of the state funded broadcaster –
And then there is OFWAT – happily allowing water companies dumping sewage in our rivers – year in year out
And then there is OFGEM – the outfit which allowed just about anyone to set up a power company – until the crunch came . We are all paying obscene standing charges for the disaster ….
No doubt I’ve left a few ‘OF’s off – there is another – the HMinspector of police – her after referred to as OFPLOD . Today it has released a report about ‘grooming gangs ‘ as the BBC describes paki paedo rape gangs . OFPLOD reviewed 27 cases and found the majority of cases were whitee gangs – every one knows the truth – but OFPLOD went for the easy way -men with names like John – not the mohammeds we know are the vermin raping young white girls – like the OFs I have described above ….. not fit for purpose .
Lead Ofsted inspector, named as Alan Derry.
“Mr Derry, who led the review of the popular primary school, told the court that Mrs Perry had been ‘tearful’ and kept saying ‘it’s not looking good, is it?’, during his meetings with the headteacher.
Mr Perry told the court his wife felt the Ofsted inspector was a ‘bully’ with an ‘agenda’. He said she feared that the lowest Ofsted grading would signal the end of her career.
Mrs Connor highlighted the behaviour of the lead Ofsted inspector in causing Mrs Perry distress.
She said: ‘I find the evidence of [deputy headteacher] Ms Jones-King more convincing than the evidence of [the lead inspector] Mr Derry. I find that the Ofsted inspection was carried out in a manner that lacked fairness, respect and sensitivity.
‘It was at times rude and intimidating. Part of the inspection was done to rather than with this school.'”
