    🔴 The BBC has identified multiple cases of “serious editorial malpractice” following the introduction of a new internal whistleblowing policy, The Telegraph can disclose

    Thing is, how could anyone tell?

      Quite a long time ago I was coming back from London on a Thameslink train. I got blocked in at a table seat by a couple of big blokes in dresses.

      That’s not a reasonable excuse because evenwere it true some men wear dresses they still want to be regarded as ‘ladies’. More likely this is the 5 million genders brigade who can make up their mind what they want to be.

    The true face of UK muslims:

    SNP muzzie tries to cancel Xmas:

    “SNP under fire after failed candidate ‘tried to cancel Christmas’ in town

    Falkirk Council’s equalities and human rights officer, Farah Faranza, suggested staff substitute the phrase “merry Christmas” for “happy holidays” in a message sent on a council-only platform but seen by the Scottish Express.

    Stephen Kerr, Scottish Conservative MSP for Central Scotland, blasted Humza Yousaf’s party, saying: “The SNP are wasting taxpayers’ money on hiring people to try to police the language people use.

    “When Falkirk Council is considering closing school swimming pools, recreation centres, and community halls, how can it be right for the council to employ people who tell people not to use the word ‘Christmas’?

    “Rather than try and make 1984 a reality, the SNP should get back to basics and properly fund the services that actually improve people’s lives.”

    The SNP currently leads a minority administration at Falkirk Council.”

Despite British servicemen and women, as well as commercial shipping, being attacked by the weapons sent from Houthi forces, Mr Yousaf said the UK did not have a “good track record when it comes to military intervention”.

    Humza Yousaf has been told to focus on local issues after he blasted the UK Government’s strikes in Yemen.”

    A woman in Gaza stands in front of the camera to complain about the “Israeli bombings” while in the background behind her Hamas is launching rockets at Israeli civilians.
    Hamas has fired tens of thousands of rockets at Israel since October 7.

    This could be one for BBC Verify with expert input from JezBo, JonDon, Lies, etc.

    Though their history of nothing rockets right behind them has been historically sketchy.

    On another note, this section of town looks rather untouched. Might it be the bit where those trails originate looks like the scenes local ‘journalists’ prefer to share having shovelled a few moppets in, and blue touch paper martyr copses out?

      A very narrow definition of ‘people’ is being used here i.e. BBC woke types and selected friends (selected on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion etc). But, if people are uncomfortable with Rule, Britannia! (the bit about ruling the waves doesn’t apply to the Channel), then they should avoid venues and events where it is played. I avoid rap ‘music’ (sic) on the same principle.

    Wrong headline BBC. it should be:
    ‘Democrats caught on CCTV ballot-stuffing’

    Democrats caught cheating in an election. How dreadfully inconvenient.

    The BBC spend a lot of column space trying to convince it’s not so bad without going near the huge elephant in the room that it means they most certainly did it in the last election.

    • Flotsam says:

      The BBC report claims that it’s called “Ballot Harvesting” and says that it’s an accepted practice without explaining what it is.
      It appears that there are pressures from the Democrats in the USA to extend and open up voting from a straightforward one day, in person vote. This is mirrored in the UK with Labour wanting to extend the vote to sixteen year olds. Postal voting in the UK is wide open to abuse and the loosely compiled Electoral Roll is full of non existent voters and people not entitled to vote. I reckon Labour will want votes for Asylum seekers, I joke?

He was on GBNews this morning and said he had a Thai wife, make of that what you will. A Google search reveals he is working the internet with a program of intense self promotion.
    I notice that he is registered as an expert witness in meteorological and climate matters in the event that organisations and people want a green zealot to present evidence for them in Legal disputes.

    He is the oracle of climate alarmism.
    I think he is to be the definition of a narcissist who craves attention and has found a way to achieve it.

    Royal Exclusive… Harry’s selfie with fake prince – but not a word for his sick dad (Mail on Sunday); Harry’s get well soon message to King and Kate (Sunday Mirror); Harry’s speech blasted… Royal expert attacks him for not mentioning Charles or Kate (Sun on Sunday); Harry’s get well message for Royals… Sussexes ‘support’ King and Kate after health scares (Sunday People)

    Fake prince…? Fake news…? Some might – with some legitimacy (a bold word in Harry’s case) plausibilty, then – put this dichotomy of message reporting down to the news print exigences of the time of going to press. But one can’t help but note that it is the lefty-leaning tabloid titles that tend to give Harry & Meghan the positive write ups – the other red top titles less so.

    The sleepy mildly conservative broadsheet Telegraph might be bothered to fiddle a bit while Rome burned – it may foresee the coming disaster – exclaim woe is me – but would probably just stick the lyre away on a shelf, sit back, grumble a bit and watch from the comfy couch on the sidelines before nodding off to sleep. And then get bought out by the arabs…

    The Fragile Firm How Sussexes’ vanishing act has exposed the monarchy’s weakness (Sunday Telegraph); Heseltine: UAE should not be allowed to buy Telegraph (Sunday Telegraph)

    The Persuaders! was a British action comedy television series starring Tony Curtis and Roger Moore first aired in 1971

    The Sunday Times does the public service bit normally reserved for our BBC: The legacy of vaccination scares: a third of under-16s at risk of measels… NHS plans new drive to persuade parents to take up jabs… – gosh, I wonder what prior NHS drive to persuade parents of the efficacy of a supposed vaccine may have backfired and had the unpleasant side effect on the public of a sharp injection of herd immunity to such public health messaging?

    You push an experimental ‘vaccine’ that hardly worked for those in the parental age group – and was frankly pointless for children – and then you marvel at the fact parents are suddenly leary of the whole idea of vaccination.

    Once our media find a trope that suits they tend to flog it to death. Echoes of ‘Partygate‘ still titilate the Labour-supporting Sunday Mirror this morning – and when the favourite trope can be combined with playing keepy uppy with the current big thing – the Post Office scandal story – then you’ve a playbook play pen as big as the Hillsborough Stadium and as tall as Grenfell Tower: New Horizon Outrage… Post Office chiefs partied as they fought victims

    There was a time when a rather more libertine left fought for your right to party – not so much these days: Bosses danced to Pixie Lott while sub-post masters battled for justice… Boogie night Vennells was filmed singing along to Pixie – hardly the last days of Rome… but then nor was Boris awkwardly cradling his slice of fuitcake as civil servants quaffed prosecco and took turns at the karoake

    Pixie Lott – there’s one for teenagers

    The Sunday Times does that lefty newspaper thing of publishing a mosaic made up of multiple photos of victims on the frontpage: Today we picture just some of the sub-post masters, including some spouses… Post Office victims who didn’t live to see justice

    Like the stranded on a remote island Japanese soldiers who don’t know or accept that the war ended the Guardian on Sunday that is the Observer joins with London mayor little man Khan to bash Brexit: Free our young from Brexit work and travel ban, says Khan… London mayor backs pro-Europe deal – because, presumably, prospects for housing and employment for our young in our own capital are so shite they’re gonna want and need to go off to work on the continent?

    EU youth also benefit from ‘mobility’ plan (Observer) – always the open borders, eh?

    One recalls one’s own offspring excitedly informing how a new girl and a new boy had joined their class at school. He was from Norway and she was from Hollland, apparently. That’s nice, what are their names? Fatima and Mohammed. Oh, really, and teacher says they are Norwegian and Dutch? Yes, that’s right.

    In further night-mayoral news

    The weekend Rishi lackey loyalist news sheet that is the obsequious His Master’s Voice Sunday Express provides the (metaphorical) drawing pins with which Number 10 posts its increasingly desperate PR notes to the public noticeboard: HS2 Back On Track… Rival mayors team up to breath new life into axed rail link – can trains do U-turns?

    Private firms to pay bulk of bill saving taxpayers billions (Sunday Express) – and if you believe that I’ve got many a bridge, tunnels and a fast one railway to sell you. Pull the other one… it’s either got bells on… or it’s the emergency communication chord!

    These ‘private firms’ doing this out of the generosity of their hearts are they? British ‘firms’ are they? Or foreign investment corporations? Can you even begin to imagine a non-public subsidised cost of a ticket from Brum to Manchester on this new HS2?

    Read the small print and I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts the public purse is underwriting this project in some sense – be it a revamped version of Blairite PPF or some such mortgaging of taxpayer debt to future generations.

    After all that bad news we need a lift – but the weather forecast won’t provide it: Storm Isha: All UK to be hit by rain and gusts of up to 80mph (BBC) – yes, it is winter and we do get wind and rain. Can the BBC find a new since records began superlative somewhere with which to impress us?

    Well, here’s a bit of a superlative: The Met Office said it was “relatively rare” for the whole of the country to be affected by storm warnings. (BBC)

    Shall we phone the Guinness Book of Records with a ‘relatively rare’ ? One suspects Roy Castle and the McWhirters (god bless ’em) would think we were taking the rise…

    Speaking of which…

    BBC news blasting out loudly about protests in Germany…not the farmers but the pro-immigrant mob…claiming a dark tale of a secret ‘masterplan’ to round up and deport all immigrants.

    The BBC has a long, long rant about this….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68029232

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67948861

    Whilst telling us that it is ‘far-right neo-Nazis’ they downplay the fact that members of the centre-right, mainstream, CDU party were at the meeting….no calls to make that party illegal unlike the AFD.

    How different the BBC’s reaction to the farmers’ protests….barely any interest and when they do cover it they avoid the fact that climate change policies are at the heart of the protests…but even here the BBC does try to link the protests to the Far-Right in a pretty egregious smear [lol…remember the Muslims attacking women in Cologne and the BBC claiming it was a Far-Right plot to discredit migrants?……‘‘There are conspiracy theories in the air that the New Year’s Eve attackers were encouraged to make sexual approaches to German women, told that it was the normal thing to do on New Year’s Eve. If true, they may have fallen into a well-laid trap.’

    Jeremy Clarkson isn’t impressed by the BBC’s dishonest coverage….

    ‘ “Everyone from the BBC to The Guardian is saying that the farmer protests in Germany have nothing to do with fuel prices and are, in fact, a smokescreen for a resurgence of the far right.

    “They imply that if you peer over the steaming piles of manure being left at the Brandenburg Gate, you can see lots of weird rural boys in brown shirts with daggers and suspiciously neat hair.

    Hitting out at the divisiveness of such depictions in the media, Clarkson added: “In all of the world’s elections this year, we’re told it’s a battle between the centrist left and the ‘far-right’.

    “This is the new racism and misogyny catch-all badge of disgrace, handed out by the left whenever they think they might lose a debate. ‘You’re far-right,’ they scream.”

    Exactly….the BBC, and friends, are engaged in a campaign of black propaganda to vilify and smear anyone who isn’t onboard with their worldview…..nothing to do with ‘news’ just pure propaganda and misinformation…..no ‘outrage’ about the WEF’s ‘secret’ meetings as they try to impose the Great Reset upon us and steal our lives and property….the BBC in fact acts for the WEF, its tame mouthpiece gaslighting us about its intentions as the BBC claims there is no ‘Great Reset’ despite the WEF openly telling us that is their intention…..

    ‘A vague set of proposals from an influential organisation has been transformed by online conspiracy theorists into a powerful viral rallying cry. What is the truth behind the “Great Reset”?

    Believers spin dark tales about an authoritarian socialist world government run by powerful capitalists and politicians – a secret cabal that is broadcasting its plan around the world. ‘

    Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, tells us that Putin, Merkel, Trudeau and Macron are some of its alumni…not only that but the WEF has ‘penetrated’ government cabinets around the world and so can influence political decisions to reflect its world view…and the BBC isn’t concerned?

    Nothing vague about the WF’s intentions…they want us to own nothing [they of course will own it for us and rent it back to us], to eat little or no meat, for billionaires and corporations to become the decision makers not politicians, we must accept and welcome billions of climate refugees, pay vastly more for energy and end completely the use of fossil fuels…oh and they admit western values will be ‘tested to breaking point’…by their own policies.

    The BBC assures us it is all rot, just vague imaginings that the Far-Right twist into lunatic conspiracy theories such as the WEF hijacked covid to exploit for its own ends…er….as the WEF says…

    ‘The great opportunity for reset’

    ‘Now is the time not only to fight the virus but to shape the system’

    and hold on…..this study shows the WEF was present in all places where dystopian measures were ramped up….they were cheerleading and lobbying for them…

    ‘Is the Network of World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders Associated With COVID-19 Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention Severity? ‘
    ‘Conclusions

    As there were significant correlations during the second, but not the first wave of the pandemic, we conclude that the WEF might not have been the origin of but rather an echo-chamber or amplifier for certain opinions and strategies that were formed and implemented during or before the first months of the COVID-19 crisis. ‘

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9636891/

    Hmmmm…so the WEF may have been front and centre of the imposition of draconian covid rules….but the BBC denies it….and hijacks national governments…but the BBC isn’t interested?

    A happy almost BBC free day … but I heard the 0700 radio news which featured one ‘Nicky Haley ‘ – a Republican contender for the presidency – questioning the mental ability of President Trump – this featured bigly on the BBC – but wot ? No mention of the dementia suffering current false president .

    Why Haley wouid want to ‘go big ‘ on this is pretty sad . Her people must be desperate to undermine President Trump – so she will demean herself or do whatever it takes to undermine him .

    Tricky for the msm because if they accuse mr trump of mental issues – it’s only a step away from the dementing Joe Biden

    I suppose the Obama people will use the same technique as used in the stolen election – no live press conferences – no off the cuff moments – no campaigning ….

    All of the above shows the conspiracy of Obama and the msm – no one criticised bidens non appearance – and certainly not the BBC ….
    No doubt if the ‘trump vote ‘ in New Hampshire is less than Iowa the MSM BBC will be screaming about failure and ‘it’s over ‘….

    I see a troll has been visiting again – and although I don’t really read comments by trolls I do look for references to the BBC . There never have been any .

    I have – in the past issued a warning about being deleted it there is never a BBC reference – but I haven’t acted on it .

    I notice – too – that some posters have responded to the troll which must give it great comfort that its’ existence is being affirmed …

    Humza doesn’t speak for the wider British Muslim community, and where was Humza when Putin murdered Muslims in Syria? Where was Humza when Palestinian children where murdered by Assad.
    Will some save us from this performative bullshit

    Plus BBC propaganda edit.

    “Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf says he believes the lives of Palestinians and Muslims are not valued as highly as others”

    Comrades, the hated Drumpf thinks he’s winning, despite all signs pointing to him being totally finished, like his wafer thin “win” in Iowa. This is a problem for our journalists because reasons.

    Grant Shapps, Yvette Cooper, Humza Yousaf, the BBC, and the hail clanjamfrie of the Establishment are all “disappointed” with Netanyahu. Shapps says the Palestinians “deserve” their own state.

    Idiots, the lot of them.

    What would you do with a troublesome neighbour who had been telling you for 75 years that he wanted not just to turf you out of your house but that he wanted to kill you? The last thing you would do is to say he could stay in your spare room.

    The Israel/Palestinian situation is exactly like that. Shapps and our whole political class are a bunch of Polyannas who understand nothing and think there is a nice, fair, cuddly solution to every problem. Sometimes there isn’t.

    Apparently some coloured kidult has called for a tune to be banned from the proms . This is an excellent idea and takes that self censorship culture to a higher height .

    Maybe a list of banned tunes should be composed to prevent any one being offended or upset – let me start with the ‘birdie song ‘ which often makes me thing life is not worth living when I hear it …

      Britannia Rules the waves alludes to the British Navy’s track record of dealing with attacks from amongst others our “white” neighbours including France, Spain, Holland, Germany etc. and has absolutely nothing to do with persecuting black slaves.

      It would seem that if history doesn’t comply with the idea of British oppression of black people then history must be re-engineered to make it so in order for it to be castigated.

    So many white Western feminists spoke out loudly in favor of women’s rights, and against (undeniable) misogyny and oppression, in Iran.
    Wonder if they’ll have anything to say about this.

    Wonder if Laura is a white western feminist, or one that just covers certain aspects?
