Budget on 6 March = election in May 2024 … as if anyone gives a damn . There’s no money – there won’t be for years – which ever regime is in number 10 ….
Isn’t it depressing, Fed.
There really isn’t any light at the end of the tunnel for most indigenous British citizens, the financial markets are out of our control anway, the government just chucks unearned money at any cause that lands on the doormat and feeds countless illegal immigrants while ignoring the voters who hoped for so much more!
Earlier someone said that they hope that Labour do get in, (it might have been you), and I’m beginning to think that as well, because nobody could be as crass as the present bunch under the ‘premiership’ of a multi-millionaire who is way out of his depth, and ‘working’ with numpties who couldn’t run a f**k up in a brothel.
We certainly won’t vote for the Tories next time; they’ve shot their bolt, and even if it means several years of Crayons, Abbott, Piggyeyes, and his motly crew, we’ll probably ignore what they get up to anyway!
It’s going to be a Beeboid’s fantasy world for the foreseeable future, with all their leftie wokery abounding at every turn, so maybe, after several years of all that c**p, the general public might really wake up and get rid of them for good!
I live in hope, but only slightly…
Scroblene – although it’s gonna be painful – once red labour gets in and more people realise there is no difference – then maybe there can be real change … if the blue labour lot stay in we will know they’ve used the Biden method – although because our system isn’t done state by state it’s harder to fiddle – except postal votes …
Whoever gets in – I don’t see the maths working for them – with pressure to increase taxes and cut public spending being inevitable … all very seasonal … drink maybe the remedy …
Scrobie, the current gold pm fix suggests there might be a war somewhere soon.
All the debate, hand-wringing and speculation masks the facts. The Foreign contingent beckoned by Rich Sunak on behalf of Beijing/WEF go on climbing day by day, by the thousands. On that basis alone, the only speculation should be on the numbers arrived and disclosed and their contribution to the complete end of the UK. There is no upside.

This suggests something interesting: only a small slice of the population gets [it], and that group is our capital city’s political and cultural elite. Is the Washington Post catering to their interests and prejudices, or does the Post shape those interests and prejudices by how they present the “news” to that small, elite group?

Piece from the DT about BBC bias –
STARTS The BBC has been accused of feeding viewers “a steady diet of woke bias” as research suggests the broadcaster has failed to uphold standards in its own impartiality plan.
A survey of the corporation’s news and drama output has exposed bias in coverage of debates over race and gender, campaigners say, while the BBC News website has averaged more than one article per week on the slave trade.
A former culture secretary reacted to the findings by saying that the BBC must be vigilant against the danger of being “captured by fringe interests”.
In recent days, the BBC has come under fire for adding scenes to the Agatha Christie thriller Murder Is Easy to make it an allegory for colonialism.
Meanwhile, new episodes of Doctor Who, which featured a transgender character, implied that the Doctor is gay and discussed whether an alien should have gendered pronouns, have also been a turn-off for some fans.
An article a week about slavery
It comes two years after BBC director general Tim Davie launched a 10-point plan to ensure impartiality. Mr Davie said viewers expected the “highest standards” of “impartiality, accuracy and trust”.
But a review of BBC output by the Campaign for Common Sense suggests the corporation is failing to uphold those standards when it comes to its drama and news output.
The research exposed a preoccupation by BBC News about Britain’s links to the transatlantic slave trade, with articles about the subject appearing online at a rate of more than one a week in 2023.
As of September, the BBC News website had featured 55 separate stories about slavery – ranging from “How a flood led family to discover slavery link” to “Jamaicans call for Gladstone slavery reparations”.
In January, long-running soap opera Waterloo Road featured a plot involving students in open revolt over their school’s links to the transatlantic slave trade.
The episode opens with a girl scrawling the word “racist” across a plaque of her school’s 19th-century founder. Students are later depicted holding banners saying “students against slavery”, and throwing red paint to symbolise the blood of slaves.
The BBC came under criticism the same month for referring to the explorer Sir Francis Drake as a “16th-century slave trader”. BBC London News was forced to amend its online article and delete a tweet with the description after a backlash.
The research also revealed how contested gender issues also featured in BBC news and drama with what the Campaign described as a “woke world view” driving the output throughout the year.
In June, Casualty came under fire for promoting “top surgery” pre-watershed. The episode featured a character discussing top surgery – a mastectomy to remove breast tissue.
In February, BBC Radio 4’s PM programme was forced to apologise for having two transgender activist guests who branded JK Rowling transphobic without any opposing view.
The BBC must be vigilant against fringe interests
Baroness Morgan, the former culture secretary, told The Telegraph: “Given its important role in covering issues affecting all of us, the BBC always needs to remain vigilant against being captured by fringe interests.”
A spokesman for the Campaign for Common Sense said: “This research reveals that, rather than upholding those high standards of impartiality, parts of the BBC continue to peddle a steady diet of woke bias both through the plotlines of popular dramas but also in some of its news coverage.
“The Impartiality Plan, unveiled in the wake of a BBC scandal over trust, was supposed to mark a turning point for the corporation. Instead this research reveals the same old woke world view is still very much in operation. Two years ago, the BBC set itself very high standards to help restore viewers’ trust. It has singularly failed to meet those standards.”
The Campaign for Common Sense, which champions free speech and tolerance, was founded by Mark Lehain, who went on to become an adviser to Nadhim Zahawi when he was education secretary.
Its report goes on to record that in January, BBC News was accused of portraying illegal immigration in a sympathetic light, while in May it interviewed a woman who called for the Government to “pay and support disabled people” to access prostitutes.
The same month, it posted an article exploring Satanism, featuring advocates who claimed it had helped them with “logic and empathy”.
And in June, flagship current affairs programme Newsnight came under fire for interviewing Mizzy, the notorious TikTok prankster, who harassed women at night on train platforms and barged into people’s homes.
Meanwhile children are being exposed to contested subjects such as critical race theory. In September, BBC Newsround featured the views of Kehinde Andrews, the author of The Psychosis of Whiteness, who presents the idea of white privilege as a fact.
Bashir prompted crisis of confidence
The BBC also gave prominence to research by the Museum of London last month which suggested black women were “most likely to die” of the plague in 14th- century London because of “structural racism”. Kemi Badenoch, the Business Secretary and equalities minister, condemned the “inaccurate and alarmist” coverage at the time.
Commissioned by the BBC Board in May 2021, the impartiality plan included thematic reviews covering output to ensure a wide range of views and voices were being reflected.
It also laid out monitoring of what it called impartiality metrics around editorial complaints, staff training and audience perception.
It came in the wake of a crisis of confidence prompted in part by the exposure of Martin Bashir’s deceitful methods of securing an interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.
A BBC spokesman said: “Cherry-picking a handful of examples or highlighting genuine mistakes in thousands of hours of output does not constitute analysis and is not a true representation of BBC content. We are proud that our output seeks to represent all audiences and a range of stories and perspectives.
“Across the entirety of our services there will, of course, be occasions when people disagree with or want to challenge what they have watched or heard and we have well-publicised routes for them to do that.”ENDS

The BBC is now noted for its cute captions.
I enjoy the old Ed Stewart ‘Junior Choice’ shows over Xmas – I have several of them downloaded. So I thought I’d listen to the Aneka Rice version from BBC sounds while I’m busy at the PC today.
Goodness me, what a fragile little left-wing luvvie she is. Not even halfway through and she’s asked us 3 times if we are ‘sobbing’ like she is while we listen to the old childrens records.
And she just praised ‘Captain Beaky’ for how it promotes ‘communities and teamwork’ !.
She’s nearly as bad as the BBC’s very highly paid Claudia Winkleman and Zoe Ball for spouting the most inane, meaningless, witless dross – though without the arrogance of Winkleman who shares a lot in common with Emily Maitlis IMHO.
And it’s on for two hours !. I’ll try to make it to one hour just to refresh myself on what most of the empathy-driven BBC are really like now.
Sorry Aneka – but I’m sure you are a nice person in real-life …
JohnC – I used to try to make a point of that show when Mr Stewart did it ….but now – no .
It’s easier to just create a ‘playlist ‘ – my favourite is ‘puff the magic dragon ‘ which is a song about a helicopter in Vietnam armed with Vulcan guns – very Christmassy….
Fed, I like ‘morningtown ride’ which is about Ukranian children being taken to Russia on a train.
I have quite a few old shows of Ed downloaded. I particularly like some of the old advertisements for things like needlework magazines which will teach you how to make a ‘pretty frock’ or ‘how to keep your man at home over Christmas’ by stocking up on guiness.
John…… wouldn’t your last sentence be better if Guiness was removed, and the word “wearing” before stocking ???

Here is a report by Indian broadcaster ‘Wion’ into an apparant child smuggling operation from India to Nicaragua, with speculation as to what was going to happen next.
The BBC covered the incident in a cursory matter of fact way without any of the conotations as to what might be happening, and of course without blame on the horrible corrupt Biden regime and it’s open border pro Paedo policies.
Then from Nicaragua to Washington and Hollywood.

Never mind, Amol, you can find advice on-line as to how to say ‘synctial’ when you are in the UK. You can also find out how to say it in the good ol’ USA. I didn’t listen to that ‘cos I’m a Brit, living in the UK.
Today’s Guest Ed is Ellie Golding, no me neither. And judging by her squalling and squealing played in the early part of the programme, er …. sorry music, I don’t think I wish to be come acquainted with her musical output.
There was a discussion about an Agatha Christie TV production, not sure if its Murder Most Foul or Murder at the Vicarage but apparently it has been ‘updated’ by its Nigerian adapter or director or producer. I’m so glad I don’t do telly. 🙂 Waste of time, these days.

“There are so many things you can do to encourage nature onto a farm.”
#R4Today guest editor musician and UN environment ambassador @EllieGoulding visited organic farmer @bentheoandrews to learn about rewilding and ‘working with nature’.
The previous ‘green’ council was keen on getting rid of farming. I’d hazard our Ellie knows about as much about the environment as Al Hurricane Gore and Dame Emma Pink Dinghy.
At least her agent got some songs in.

bBC getting a slagging off on front page of DT today:
BBC feeding viewers ‘steady diet of woke-bias’
“A BBC spokesman said: Cherry-picking a handful of examples or highlighting genuine mistakes in thousands or output does not constitute analysis”
I guess using evidence and examples is like kryptonite to the bBC and to leftist mad-marxists.
Where is that picture of that bBC girlie giving the bird?
Atlas – full article above…
Fedup
Thanks. Please excuse my double posting. Am obviously suffering from ‘post Electricity Bendix oven fan replacement stress’. The Missus has only been waiting since last Christmas for it to be done!
Atlas – no worries – the article shows one thing – even far lefties like ‘Nicki Morgan ‘ is now saying something about the obvious agenda – also – from the comments – how far trough dwellers like her are from reality .
I know part of the problem is that swamp dwellers are too busy / important to watch bbc output – their snouts are also far too deep in the trough ….
.. also ‘criticism ‘ of the BBC will lead to cancellation ( no gigs on talk shows £) – …
The bbc used to do a programme about secret papers released under the 30 year rule – at the end of the year – that seems to have gone .
But one Jem reported is an idea by Tony Blair to move Wimbledon FC to Belfast to stop the tribal murders – aka ‘troubles ‘ – a perverted word like ‘grooming ‘.
Anyway I wondered how much booze / drugs one wouid need to take to come up with an idea like that – but maybe a better idea would be to send Celtic and rangers to N Ireland – together with Liverpool ….
Liverpool was decades ago largely Protestant and Everton largely Catholic, so to keep things balanced both would need to go. In Manchester United were Catholic and City? , well perhaps they were always members of the Islamic Brotherhood.
Double – having experienced the ‘hospitality ‘ of both Liverpool and Everton I left Everton off the list because they knew how to ‘respect ‘ away supporters – including a happy visit to a ‘home ‘ pub – which can sometimes lead to death / serious bother … and obviously no ‘colours ‘ visible …
Londoners are not paying the TV Licence.
So why should the rest of the Country?
But most Londoners aren’t British so you would think that they would regard the BBC as their own because it certainly isn’t British.
Perhaps they only get it on the dire ‘World Service’?
Put a wind sock in it BBC cradle to grave edition
The press title theme yesterday was the world turned upside down.
If one picked up both our Tory toady Rishi buttlicker the Daily Express (careful with that arse, he’s using it to seat warm for Starmer) and our old Labour big throbbing heart the Daily Mirror, both papers together were sharing a near identitical near myocardial infarction of frontpage screamers over NHS car park charges.
Oops Up Side Your Head was a 1979 disco hit for The Gap Band, out of Tulsa USA. It spawned the annoying craze where everyone on some grimy dancefloor suddenly sat down in one or two lines, each dancer sitting in-between the legs of the dancer behind them. They all did things such as slap the floor in time to the music, and lean forwards and backwards together. The greatest amusement being for the onlooker watching the not-so-sober participants trying to remember what action to do next.
Today we’re going from upside down media co-ordination to a back-to-front BBC press line-up.
Cue the jokey blokey Daily Star in all its unashamed tabloid ‘proud to love animals‘ (excepting seagulls, beavers and killer hornets) glory. At long last topping – and not for once tailing – the BBC online press line-up.
Who could forget past stonkers such as: Sniffer Dogs to Hunt Bedbugs; Lamb Shank Redemption; Invasion of the Car Scoffing Rats; King to Flog off Queen’s Horses; or Rise of the Zombie Pigeons…?
It always helps a newspaper gain a leg up in the BBC stakes when its screamer headline of the day fits a cherished Beeb agenda narrative du jour.
Thought for the day: We’re all going to Gerrit
Storm Gerrit chaos… Grrrridlock! – frets the not-so-serious red top: CAR-NAGE! Storm Gerrit rages across Britain yesterday with travel mayhem and power cuts. It’s only going to get worse (Daily Star) – did I mention the Star is rather prone to the superlative?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch – as they used to say in those old cowboy flicks…
Storm Gerrit: ‘Tornado’ damages 100 homes in Stalybridge (BBC) – one can’t help but notice ‘scare quotes’ around the term ‘Tornado’ – but I suppose afterall, we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto!
Around a hundred homes have been damaged after a “localised tornado” tore through the Tameside area of Greater Manchester. (BBC) – that’ll be a few slates falling off roofs, a shoddily-built brick wall and a garden panel fence or two collapsing and the odd precarious tree coming down. Our BBC does so love to nurture the concept of weather-weirding due to climate change in our little brains. As I look out on a slightly damp chilly morning that’s as calm as a mill pond.
While we’re on the subject of things turned on their head: Russian celebs at ‘almost naked’ party stung by backlash (BBC) – well, there’s a thing.
In the liberal west we’re well used to our elite millionaire celebs doing a bit of red carpet-style prancing about at the odd exclusive Met Gala or London Fashion Week do – and so long as the all obeisances are correctly observed – the Democrat congress woman of colour being photographed in an ‘Eat The Rich‘ $10,000 frock or Greta Thunberg included on the guest list wearing her charity shop orange anarak and moth-eaten uggs – then it’s all cool.
Seems however that when the Muscovite equivalents of our rock stars have a bit of an Eyes Wide Shut party then it’s suddenly Red Square faces: What happened at a Moscow nightclub was bizarre. What happened next says so much about the current atmosphere in Russia… Dress code? More like an undress code… Scantily clad pop stars and celebrities attended the soiree… He turned up wearing only training shoes and one strategically placed sock. (BBC) – blimey, that’s a mental picture that’s enough to make even our Huw Edwards blush
It was a private party. But it became very public when videos and photos appeared on social media. (BBC) – as I was just saying above… and then there was that Labour MP dubbed Captain Underpants as I recall
Put a sock in it BBC
Overnight, Vacio’s became the most famous sock in Russia. And not in a good way… Pro-Kremlin bloggers, MPs and activists, who support the war in Ukraine, were furious: how could celebrities be out partying like this while Russian soldiers were putting their lives on the line in the “special military operation”? (BBC) – we begin to discern the BBC’s angle here – a sort of Ruskie Partygate thing – but they’ve got it all back-to-front – the straight-laced puritan Putin supporters are supposed to be the bad guys in our narratives – but it’s the celeb rainbow let-it-all-hang-out why-did-they-bother-to-keep-their-socks-on partygoers who appear to come out of this story tainted
Cost of living crisis, anyone?
For the revellers, the party was well and truly over. Rapper Vacio was arrested and jailed for 15 days for “disorderly conduct”. He was also fined 200,000 roubles (£1,700; $2,200) for “promoting non-traditional sexual relations”. (BBC) – any further comment from Mr AsI would to be superfluous.
The organiser of the “Almost Naked Party”, Nastya Ivleeva, is facing legal action. More than 20 people have signed a class-action lawsuit. They’re demanding she pay a billion roubles (£8.5m) to the Defender of the Fatherland Foundation, an organisation that donates money to participants of the Kremlin’s “special operation”. Other partygoers are facing the music, too. (BBC)
Quick change of gear and we alight on the Daily Mirror for their rather catchy top headline: Rishi helps the rich get richer
Mr AsI has previously alluded to the old adage “in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes” and added his own home-spun spin that following the Treasury-inspired coup against Liz Truss it became clear that the only way out of our present Liberal-Tory/Labour high tax regime to be allowed was via death. And of course the Mirror headline references: PM’s pre-election inheritance tax cut for millionaires – millionaires: a term much devalued by rapid inflation and soaring house prices
The Daily Mail doesn’t beat about the bush by bandying euphemisms such as inheritance: Hunt plan to slash death tax by half
And the Guardian betrays its middle class, kitchen island, bougie outlook with a prominent obit for: Friends pay tribute after Bill Granger, the ‘godfather of avocado on toast’ dies aged 54
Back to the BBC’s pet Kremlin-party-ology. And oh my… cancel culture…? Surely not…?
Russian Eurovision veteran Dima Bilan insisted he was fully clothed and had no idea what other guests would wear… Big names – suddenly cancelled. There’s talk of concert dates being cancelled and advertising contracts terminated. Reports, too, that some of the stars are being edited out of pre-recorded New Year’s Eve entertainment shows on Russian TV. (BBC)
The presently Labour-curious Starmer-attracted formerly patriotic Times of London newspaper goes with a state shall provide cradle to grave promise: Labour will promise big expansion of childcare… Nursery places in primaries
Hey, Abdul, get your cousin Mohammed on the phone. Tell him to get his family over here right now. They’re giving away even more free stuff to anyone with a big bunch of kids. Yeah, that’s right, this welfare state the British fought for, paid for and opened up to the world really is a brilliant idea.
‘Game-changer’ winter virus jab for babies (Telegraph)
Russian celebs sorry for decadent partying (Telegraph)
We’re back in the USSR
It seems to me that Russia’s political system, increasingly, relies on scapegoats. It needs groups or individuals it can point to and blame for problems at home and abroad. (BBC) – there’s no quotation marks around that statement so at first glance it seems to have perhaps been attributable to: …the now fully dressed megastar Philipp Kirkorov – but it looks instead to be the personal editorial commentary opinion – boldly put – by: Steve Rosenberg, BBC Russia editor.
Economic news – by the way, how are those anti-Russia western sanctions working out for us?
Rail groups face cost cuts… Train operators in England are preparing to make further cuts to their budgets as the rail industry struggles to recover from a big hit to revenues following the coronavirus pandemic (FT) – they keep saying it and Mr AsI keeps correcting it: …big hit from the
coronavirus pandemicLockdownsLast word on the proxy war goes to the state crony corporate market allied Financial Times – which when all liberalism is said and done – like our BBC Russia editor – knows very well which side its bread is buttered: Global defence order books bulge as Ukraine puts budgets on war footing… $760bn of hardware in pipeline… Rising tensions feed demand… Investors pile into arms stocks
As for an ‘and finally’… With the Daily Star providing our sensible considered and measured scientific meteorological reports in the top spot The Sun meanwhile fulfills the role of tail end charlie in the BBC online press line up – they were rather begging for the wooden spoon prize with this one: Conor McGregor KO’d my parrot (The Sun)
I do take objection to the light hearted approach you take to the Great Storm ( caps ) of 2023 -have some feeling for all those who have lost their satellite dishes …. All those great traditional show the BBC ( aunty )puts out -like ‘Turkey dinner ‘ and ‘3 oranges ‘via Dads Army @ 1974 …. I’m surprised they’ve not inserted private Leroy or private Mohammed by now …’ don’t tell ‘im leroy’…
Reading between the lines as well as along the lines it appears that a number of contributors have decided that the Tory party are on the way out. I agree. That said, please don’t waste your vote but put the X next to a REFORM candidate. Once the labour term in office is over we need an alternative party and we need to start now. It is almost certain that the country will be in one bloody big mess with neither Labour or Tories able and committed to make the changes needed to save the country from total ruin. REFORM have the chance of becoming the new conservative party, a real conservative party. If we continue in the same way then don’t expect to see any improvement.
Mouse – there is no Conservative Party – I’d consider voting Reform if only to save the deposit …. I don’t think there is anything that the current regime can do to be voted in – the Biden count method won’t work – and the identity at the poll will be circumvented by Far Left councils ….
Maybe – if we are still about in @2029 there might be a low tax UK party again …. But there always 2034 …..

Those who took the advice to invest in gold now are sitting pretty as it is at record high prices and set to go much higher when the crisis finally does happen.

its exactly what brought down everything in the sub-prime era of 2008

At present disinformation is to be expected …
I’d hazard a guess that everything pushed out (or omitted) by TfL and their mates (BBC, PA Media, Sky et al) about ULEZ and LTNs is absolutely gamed to the gills…
Is the BBC reporting the racist black man who stabbed teens at Grand Central Station NY, while shouting “I want all white people dead”?
Of course not. To libtards and beeboids, only whites can ever be racist.

It must be quite handy being chancellor (or PM)
You can do the budget and give yourself, your mates and the others like you, (the 5% affected by this proposed drop in tax) a 50 percent drop in inheritance tax and pretend it’s for the good of everybody.
I would guess about 650 MPs will ‘grudgingly’ vote this through.
I would also guess about 650 of them will benefit from this halving of a tax unlike the 95% of us who will not.
Woke promotion is not the biggest issue of BBC bias. I’ve always been aware of BBC bias, right from the 1960’s. Previously it was pro Britain, Establishment, Monarchy, Empire and generally conservative (small c!), however the slide began, most notably under Bliar to the point we have reached today. It’s partly a multicultural dilution together with Marxist infiltration. There also seems to be an element of Anarchism in the way that the BBC is trying to break down British Society, probably as a means of promoting Marxism.
No. Woke is not the main issue for me, it’s the relentless, intense anti Government propaganda. The BBC set out to destroy the Conservative Government, using and obstructing the Government tried to deal with Brexit and Covid, destroying Political careers. The Woke, Womens and minorities, Trans, BLM, LGBQ promotion stuff is merely a means of helping to destroy our society.
Mark my words, when Smarmer’s Labour is in Government the BBC will continue to drive their agenda. Smarmer will have to obey his Marxist masters in his Party, in the BBC and by the Labour paymasters, the Trade Unions. Smarmer will not be free to Govern as he pleases, the BBC will be in the forefront.
I’m sorry but the push on ‘diversity’ is entirely the Marxist Tory policy and instruction. They are incentivising senior civil servants now with bonuses to push for greater levels of anti White race hate they call ‘diversity’.
You just need to look behind the curtains a little more, the Tories say one thing to voters faces whilst doing the exact opposite when they think people aren’t looking.
Did Blair, Broon + chums emplace a regime in the public sector / civil service that has effectively been wagging the dog for a generation+ ?
They certainly de-fanged laws intended to restrain the public sector via ditching surcharging councillors for bad behaviour.
I know “yes Minister” rules apply – but even still… the stuffing of public bodies with fellow travellers and an all carrot, no stick diet seems to have played a large part in the grim mess we are now witnessing.
I think senior Civil Servants are driving their own agenda rather the the Tories.
Watch it and weep:
Regarding the earlier post about the car used as a weapon to kill someone in Sheffield, it appears as suspected that once again we are enriched by the diversity:

Both families believed to be involved are from the area’s large British-Pakistani community, locals said.
Political media are supposed to hold our supposed leadership classes to account and challenge them when they are clearly off piste.

Spent the night in A&E as breathing appears to have been evading me a little. I’d say that Jeremy Hunt should spend a night there before he wades out with his plans for inheritance tax, because the last thing we let him be in charge of was as breathless as me last night
However for some reason, just as it is with the diversity idiots on the Labour front bench, the high profile twitter obsessed slappers get a free ride too.
This is a full ‘me, me, me’ thread, twisting a personal situation into a ridiculous politicised claim ignoring a bunch of realities.
Rightly, other than a few inevitable sycophants, she is been slaughtered in the comments across a slew of points.
By the public. Toenails (yawn) and the rest should be all over it, rather than on a powdered piste, powdered sands or powdered katoy with half the NHS senior set until mid Jan.
I have to object to the first part of the post here Guest.
Who elected the political media to hold the leadership to account and how can we remove them from that position?
I was the smug and supercillious Robin Day who first set himself up above his station abandoning manners and decency to attack politicians, and the following pack have only tried to exceed the excess as time has gone on.
Now we have ended up with an unaccountable number of far Left attack dogs viciously holding only one side guilty as charged whilst letting their mates have a free pass.
Political media are not there to hold anyone to account, that is the job of His Majesties opposition. There are there to report the policies being followed and the state of the government dispassionately and accurately.
This is of course my own opinion.
Objection noted.
And I fear I must ob… disagree to agree.
It has got much worse, but politicians have always been fools or charlatans, and media have always been arrogant and politicised but less keen on democratic votes applying to them.
But until recent times there was a sort of balance.
The BBC has a £5,000,000,000 pr budget to swing opinion and hence policy on anything.
Over on ‘Not A Lot of People Know That’ the outright shambolic and venal activities of the BBC across trillion £ policy matters is laid out hourly. And that is just the #28gate squad. Look how they infected Boris and Richie. Now port to anything else… Gender, Middle East….
If there were a halfway competent politician gaining traction, the BBC can easily ensure they are thwarted. If there is an idiot in opposition, it can easily throw the mob behind them. And flip overnight post election. To get the result THEY want.. isolated financially and in person from any consequences.
If his Majesty’s Opposition has to go through the BBC filter to be heard, right or wrong fairly, and often at all, THAT is where the main issue lies now.
And I would say we might be as one in seeing the value of addressing it asap.
Thoughtful
Your mention of Robin Day brought to mind that famous (or was it infamous) 1982 TV interview with John Nott, then Defence Secretary in Margaret Thatcher’s Government. The relish with which Day delivered his put down was obvious from his facial expression, “Why should the public believe you….. a transient here today gone tomorrow politician…”. at which point Nott abruptly and unsurprisingly terminated the interview. I just wish on leaving he had thought of a suitable riposte along the lines of “…..if I have anything to do with it you will be a here today gone tomorrow BBC interviewer”.
His style of interviewing seems to have set the benchmark for the future training of BBC staff in how to handle interviews of, and especially, Conservative politicians.
Apologies for the pawcity of postings recently, I have been very busy rehearsing and recording my starring role in an online Bingo advert as seen regularly on GB News. With frequent repeat fees me and my bitch (apologies, I mean Mrs Bulldog) will dine out on finest fillet steak for the foreseeable future.

Rather amusing video of a wind turbine overcome by the wrong kind of wind tearing itself apart.
I couldn’t bear to watch it, but by all accounts the BBC’s latest Agatha Christie was a hot mess of woke moralising.
Here’s the start of the Mail review.
“Our Auntie Beeb can’t stand the way we enjoy murder in a 1950s village. All those spinsters cycling through the morning mist to church, ruddy-cheeked blacksmiths and lads playing cricket on the green – it’s so very English, it must be wrong.
So instead of giving us the Agatha Christie adaptation we’d like, Auntie devises something different that will be ‘better for us’. That is the equivalent of serving a tofu turkey and insisting: ‘It tastes just as good, and it’s saving the world.’
This means taking a pre-war tale from the Golden Age of British detective fiction and turning it into an allegorical story about colonialism.
The sleuth is a young black man newly arrived from Nigeria, who claims to be researching local folklore while really investigating a string of murders…”
bla bla bla.
And people STILL pay their extortionate licence fee??

ITV are just as bad ……tried watching Vera last night…never again , and then there was Sister Boniface Mysteries that my wife wanted to watch…..supposed to be in the 1950s from what I can make out , Detective Police Seargent of colour and another character who appears as a homeless Migrant….thankfully the Single Malt helps to dull the pain 😀

Just look at this from the UN. Specifically worded for people like the BBC to latch on to. The thing is, it’s nonsense:
‘A United Nations report into human rights violations in the West Bank concluded that Palestinians live in constant terror of violence from both Israeli forces and settlers’.
All of them in a ‘constant state of terror’ ???. They don’t look like that in the Getty pictures.
terror:
‘noun. intense, sharp, overmastering fear: to be frantic with terror.’
Now they might live in fear during some parts of the day, but there is no way they live in ‘constant terror’. The phrase simply does not fit in a sentence like that. The UN have forced it in with a shoehorn.
It just drives another nail into the coffin containing the reputation of the UN. It proves they are left-wing activists. That claim should be ripped apart by the MSM, not trumpeted for all to see by the BBC.
And they get $3.4 BILLION a year to do it. Let’s hope Trump gets in and does something about it.

This is an astonishing video with a real journalist who was given access to a BBC laptop with some really confidential information.
It touches on many aspects of the BBC, and the establishment, and why the government is never ever going to end the TV tax funding for the BBC.
It is (IMHO) required watching for anyone using this site:
Reform uk
https://www.reformparty.uk/ will end the telly tax.
No it won’t because it will never be allowed to form a government. You need to watch the video to be astonished about the illusion they have spun.
Agents of the government (which I believe to be Marxist) have been going into the BBC and deciding which stories it can and cannot run with. They are not going to surrender that level of control easily.
Thoughtful – thanks – it’s 1 hour 20 so best used at x2 speed … which is still ok …
The bbc laptop is mentioned briefly – there’s nothing new in this I got to 52 minutes before the headache kicked in – pity she didn’t have fresh meat to name …
She couldn’t due to the fact she would be sued out of existance and as she said, she would be killed and it wouldn’t be the first attempt.
At the end she goes into the Madelaine McCann disappearance and the evidence of the Portuguese Police which she believes.
As she says given the number of kids who go missing in Britain it is very odd that this one child should within just two days be the subject not only of the Prime Minister Tony BLiar, but also his Successor Gordon Brown.
The issue of the Laptop providing minutes of meetings between senior BBC managers and senior Tory party officials over which stories they should be running is greatly disturbing because it shows a level of control over the BBC which I don’t think anyone here ever imagined went on – I certainly wasn’t aware of that.
If they are controlling the daily BBC output like that there is zero chance of the TV tax being axed, because they are never going to give up that control, not in a million years.
Thoughtful
not only the BBC output – you can include ITV, Sky, The Press Association, Newsquest, The Guardian and a crowd of others who dance to the spook melodies. Compare the known antics of the boys ‘n girls at Hermitage Barracks and Twitter UK – they lost their shit with the virus and Ukrainian stuff is often almost risibly inept ( I can’t laugh – it’s simply too grim)
The manipulators are actually clever and careful – which is what they’re employed for – but sometimes they get sloppy / believe their own BS…
“Blackpool Tower fire: Fire crews called to iconic landmark”
Is it really a fire , or has the ‘meeja’ jumped the gun ?
One man arrested – nothing confirmed yet ? Could it be “curtains” for someone?
Are there any “fact checkers” about ?
GB News showed footage of a fire in the metal structures an hour ago.
The GB News web site now says :
“Blackpool Tower NOT on fire: Lancashire Police issues urgent correction after fire brigade sends nation into panic that iconic landmark was up in flames”
“Our helicopter has flown over the tower and there is no fire. We can confirm what can be seen is orange netting.”

Slightly unusually, an example of bias in the future.
Also an example of the insidiousness of BBC bias.
Tonight it’s Only Connect. Here is the description in the Radio Times.
‘In this final festive special, professional politicians, including a Conservative MP, face a team of activists’.
Why single out the Tory MP? Presumably to encourage ridicule. Perhaps to tune in to see the ridicule. Why are the other politicians not singled out? Why not any of the activists.
I wonder how many straight white Anglo-Saxons will be on the following show, Christmas University Challenge? Drag queens have been in short supply, thus far.

TOADY Watch #2 – “er, you must be out of your mind, you will be branded a colossal hypocrite”
I am imagining what Al Campbell said to Tony Blair when Blair had the great idea to move Wimbledon FC to Ulster. Tony thought it might help heal the RC: Protestant divide. Al Campbell knows that football fans travel colossal distances to follow their teams and see them play. If I recall correctly Alastair is a fan of Burnley FC and must have travelled a fair few miles from London to Turf Moor.
Tony Blair was in cahoots with William Jefferson Clinton in creating the Climate Change scare just in case Global Warming did not turn up after all. Adding massive amounts of CO2 from the fans travelling to watch games in Belfast would have fatally undermined Blair’s attempts to scare us with Climate Change.
Did the BBC cover this?

TOADY Watch #3 – ho hum, are you sure about that?
Ellie Goulding, this morning’s Guest Editor had to make the misandrist point that recording studios are male dominated environments. She found solace in nature, and as a country girl (born in Herefordshire) she headed out into the environment where she talked to two men! One was a farmer, the other ran a bird reserve.
Silly woman!
