Start the week 22 January 2024

BBC bias can be seen across their output . But it’s most clearly seen in editorial values – such as the treatment of people who are ‘disapproved ‘by the BBC . Donald Trump will feature bigly in 2024 as fear of his re election mounts . Watch ( or not ) and see ….

    – Tommy Robinson denies refusing to leave march
    (sounds like Fake News ..his defence that he did refuse cos he was clearly working as a journalist and therefore the order was unlawful)

    continues : The 40-year-old, of no fixed abode, is due to appear at City of London Magistrates’ Court for trial in April.
    Bail conditions that prevent Mr Robinson from entering within the M25, or attending or organising a protest within London, remain in place.

    That of course is a draconian punishment, without judicial process

    TWatO Watch #2 – Bibi Netanyahu is a Bad Man, a Warmonge,r and they get on a relative of hostage to say so

    The BBC really hate Conservatives; Narendra Modi in India, Georgia Meloni in Italy, Marine le Pen in France, the Conservative Government in the UK, former President Trump in the USA, Jair Bolsanaro in Brazil and Javier Millei in Argentina. As an example of BBC bias for Lucy Frazer, that should suffice.

    But just to reinforce it today, the Montacutie on TWatO interviews a relative of someone in Israel who has an Uncle still held hostage by Hamas. No sympathy for the man interviewed, I note, but tons of hate generated for Bibi Netanyahu. Sarah did not ask which Party this Israeli normally voted for. I am guessing it was not Likud!

    Look, I’m not denying it’s been a bit windy. I was doing some work at the allotment and my old cap got blown off…Oh, and my bird table went over. And a couple of neighbours have lost panels from rickety fences.

    However, a few decades ago my old mum would have said something like, “Blimey, it ain’t ‘alf blowy out.” and that would have been it…

    These days the winds have got their own personalised bleedin’ names. Weathermen put on sombre and doom-laden voices. I’m shown endless pictures of rough seas and headlines vie to outdo each other. “100mph wind” one will scream, only to be upped by “Record breaking 110 mph…”

      projection is a libmob characteristic
      So Harra who spreads disinformation for the BigGreenBlob
      points at a tweet that says
      The energy minister, Lord Callanan, has accused “vested interests” of “funding campaigns of misinformation” about heat pumps.
      and adds his own spin
      The government has finally realised that there is a huge disinformation campaign against heat pumps, doubtless funded by the *fossil *fuel industry*, who are also promoting the #Hydrogenhype.

      The minister didn’t say *fossil *fuel industry* nor did he say anything about hydrogen
      The says article clearly says PR is coming from “Mike Foster from the Energy and Utilities Alliance – a trade body which represents gas and boiler companies and lobbies on their behalf. He says the higher upfront cost is a huge barrier.”(for heat pumps)
      “He rejected accusations that the industry has been spreading misinformation.
      “Far from it. Our members make heat pumps. They make boilers…”

      Furthermore Energy and Utilities Alliance are open they lobby by getting their own PR in the papers
      The root of the story is July story from a Green PR outfit DeSmog which was then amplified by hyperbolic language in a Guardian article a few hours later .

      At that time Installer Online rebutted the story saying of course the industry put out their own PR and said the Guardian was misleading by using hyperbolic language

      “Is it because the actual story – that there’s publicly-voiced opposition to something – simply isn’t weighty enough to generate the desired reaction?
      And what of the scorpion? Is it the EUA and its chief exec, Mike Foster, attempting to scuttle the heat pump armada?
      Or is it rather a succession of governments that have failed to deliver an effective policy
      thereby created the cauldron of opinion”

    Micron in France knows that if he doesn’t do something about the migrants and quick he will lose power and Le Penn will take over. This is the benefit of having a strong centre right party.

    So here are a few of the new Policies France will be following this comming year:

    Foreigners in France who are not working, will have to wait five years before they can get benefits.

    REFORM OF STATE MEDICAL CARE FOR NON-EU FOREIGNERS
    Over the course of 2024, the government will review current legislation that gives illegal residents unlimited access to government-funded medical care.

    Non-EU foreigners who have no residency or work permit but who work in areas or industries that are struggling to recruit staff – such as restaurants, the building industry and agriculture – can apply for a residency and work permit.

    To be eligible, the foreign worker needs to have lived in France for at least three years and have worked at least 12 months (not necessarily consecutively) over the past two years.

    In considering this request, authorities will take into account the degree of the applicant’s integration in French society and his or her respect for Republican values.
    Foreigners who have a police record will not be able to benefit from this exception.

    Children born in France of foreign parents will no longer automatically become French citizens under “jus soli” legislation, but will have to request citizenship between the age of 16 and 18.

    Foreigners who have obtained the right to live in France will have to wait at least 24 months (from 18 months currently), and have a stable income as well as health insurance, before they can apply for family members to join then.
    A spouse wanting to come to France will have to be at least 21 years old (compared to 18 under current legislation).

    SANCTIONS FOR COUNTRIES WHO DO NOT TAKE BACK IMMIGRANTS

    Development aid can be conditioned on a country’s cooperation over the repatriation of illegal migrants and the respect for agreements with France on controlling migratory flows.

    Asylum seekers whose behaviour constitutes a threat to public order can be placed in preventive detention, notably if there is a risk that the asylum seeker would flee.

    There is more legislative changes than this, but it proves that if a neighbouring country can do this, then there is absolutely no reason why Britain can’t.

    Al Jazeera bureau chief’s son Hamza al-Dahdouh among journalists killed in Gaza
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67905566

    Another lengthy article from the BBC which is loaded with one-sided empathy. I often scan these for the snippets of truth hidden within which the BBC insert to avoid being fact-checked.

    First thing which struck me was it was the Al Jazeera’s chief !. Goodness me. Then when I read the article I realised it was the GAZA bureau chief which is entirely different. Anyone in senior position in Gaza -especially the media – will most certainly support Hamas.

    I realised the BBC are desperately using the ‘Al Jazeera’ name to try and give the article more credibility. The bottom line is that ALL of the journalists reporting from Gaza are Palestinian Muslims. How can anyone seriously believe anything they say ?. They would not dare go against Hamas even if they wanted to. Which they don’t.

    But the key line is this half way down:
    ‘the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said: “An IDF aircraft identified and struck a terrorist who operated an aircraft that posed a threat to IDF troops.’

    This must be the ‘right to reply’ the BBC are obliged to give – and for once the IDF didn’t just ignore them. But that’s it. No further discussion on that topic. They get straight back to the empathy.

    What should be discussed here is the ethics of journalists cooperating and working with terrorists. Because that’s what Hamas are – despite the BBC not telling us. Again.

    ‘More than 75 journalists have been killed since the war in Gaza started.’
    How many were Palestinian Muslims BBC ?. 75 ?. Any comment on that ?.

      War reporting is a dangerous business. But those engaging used to know and accept the risks, and seldom had a go to work with Dad day.

      I doubt John Ford whinged about the Japanese targeting him as he was right amongst the defenders of Midway.

      Dickey Chappelle sadly died from an IED. She was unlikely to be embedded with Hamas even today.

      Because the greatest rumpus comes from the greater number of ‘reporters’ who seem to be in the thick of it, on a singular side now.

      So to repeat, maybe they are too often in amongst those aiming and shooting at folk shooting back. And might pause to reflect on their choices and consequences accordingly. Along with surviving colleagues.

      Or rely on social media and credulous or complicit studio warriors in cubicles. Or JezBo in a ditch getting his groceries delivered by a Babushka.
