Midweek 24th January 2024

The current ‘culture secretary ‘ apparently for ensuring the BBC is unbiased is Lucy Fraser . Fraser has announced another ‘review ‘ of BBC bias. There have been 9’culture secretaries ‘ since 2017 None have done anything .Thats what this campaign is up against . If you want to complain about the BBC where do you go ? You have to go to the BBC ! With other broadcasters – you go straight to OFCOM – hence the number of complaints against certain broadcasters . How can that be right ?

    The BBC report on the Nottingham killer, who was charged with mere manslaughter (instead of murder) and given a hospital order. They also report on the failures of various authorities to detain him earlier.

    In other words, the story is all about him, and yet the BBC focus on the victim family’s anger, thereby avoiding having to post his picture on the Home page of their webshite.

    Of course, if a white man had killed a black woman, his mugshot would be plastered all over the rotten Corporation’s website.

    Bias takes a thousand forms.

    @ F2

    Since we are advised by the Govt that conscription is a possiblity, when are you going to start recruitment for the Biased bbc Dads Army ?

    I am already far ahead of you and working on an anti Russian device in case of invasion.

    It involves some fireworks, velcro, chicken wire and dog shit, I just need to iron out some niggles.

    All bbbc patriots should now be working on similar ideas and getting together to test them.

    Anyone out there with a butchers van ?

    And can we borrow your shed Scroblene ?

    The British army.

    Latest figures.

    Size of army 72,000 approx.

    Female soldiers 16,700

    Unfit soldiers”non-deployable” 14,700

    Whatever happened to the reservists? You remember the 30,000 that were going to fill the gap of all those other troop reductions?

    I think the simple answer is ..nothing happened.

    But.. anyone thinking this pathetic situation will get better under Labour…prepare to be disappointed .

        I worked on a temporary short contract at TfL and one of those who was not even in charge started on me with words like that telling me what I “need to do” until I sorted it.

        She then decided to reorganise and relocate some files I put on the intranet without my permission or knowledge so no one could find them.

        Also, it was the dreaded “hot desking” anyone could sit at the desk I usually worked at, including her, leaving hair and crumbs of food on the keyboard, until I sat at the one she usually worked at and suddenly it was not hot desking anymore…she “needed” to work next to a certain person etc etc

        And another one who ambled into work at 10 am and started slurping her breakfast at meetings. turned up to work dressed like she was going to Woodstock, and, with purple hair.

          “This is the horrifying footage of innocent civilians slaughtered and mutilated by Hamas terrorists which Israel presented to the International Court of Justice.

          MailOnline has exclusively obtained the sickening video as judges are due to make an interim ruling on alleged genocide by Israel on Friday at The Hague.

          It shows terrified Jewish families rounded up like cattle and Palestinian extremists ring their parents to boast of committing atrocities on October 7.

          The graphic footage is 7.10 minutes to mark the date of the massacre and mainly comprises of CCTV and images Hamas broadcast off its own body cameras.
          It says Hamas ‘slaughtered, tortured, raped, burned alive and mutilated over 1,200 people including infants, children, the elderly and people with disabilities, and kidnapped over 250 people into Gaza’.

          Footage then shows Jihadis hurling explosives and screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they break through the border fence on the morning of October 7.

          Under the title ‘Invasion’ they are seen speeding into Israel in pick-up trucks and firing rocket propelled grenades at civilian cars.

          One motorist is shot at point blank range while another is seen sprinting away from the terrorists before he is gunned down, his blood turning the pavement beneath him red.

          Much of the images are too graphic to publish including that of a crazed extremist decapitating a civilian with a shovel.

          Young Israelis at the Nova music festival are seen dancing at sunrise unaware of Hamas hand gliders looming overhead.

          The footage then moves on to a scene titled ‘slaughter’ that shows the terror rampages at the Kibbutzim.

          Bodycam footage shows terrorists gunning down unarmed civilians in their own homes and rounding up mothers and their children.

          A terrorist gleefully sets a property alight in one clip before a dog is seen running towards a militant in another where it is brutally gunned down.

            An audio clip plays out of a Hamas militant calling his father to boast: ‘Dad, I’m talking to you from a Jewish woman’s phone. I killed her and her husband. I killed 10 people with my own hands!’

            He implores his father to ‘open WhatsApp and see how I killed’ before adding: ‘Put mum on.’

            The most disturbing scenes are titled ‘mutilation’ and ‘brutally raped and burned’.

            They show female bodies with huge gashes taken out of their limbs and their underwear removed.

            It skips to the charred remains of those burned alive in their cars trying to flee the onslaught, and haunting footage of a man being decapitated.

            ‘Sexual violence, mutilation and torture’ shows more attempted beheadings, bodies burned, and sexual violence.

            Hamas militants parade the body of 22-year-old German-Israeli Shani Louk into the war-ravaged territory where it is spat upon by locals screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’.

            Naama Levy, 19, is seen in blood-stained pyjamas, pulled by the hair and loaded into a 4×4 in Gaza by gun-touting extremists.

            The video states: ‘Over 130 hostages are still being held in Gaza, including infants, the elderly and the sick.

            ‘Some hostages have been executed. Others are being tortured, according to testimonies by released hostages.’

    The real truth:

    “The powerful jet stream, a high speed current of air around five to nine miles up in the atmosphere, charges towards us from North America bringing weather events in its wake.

    Met Office scientists explain this dominant current of air is the chief driver of how many storms the UK suffers. Met Office Meteorologist and Presenter Annie Shuttleworth, said: “While we have had some drier and calmer interludes, the stormy nature of the UK’s autumn and winter so far is chiefly dictated by the position and strength of the jet stream, which is a column of air high up in the atmosphere.

    “The jet stream greatly influences the weather we experience in the UK and during recent months this has largely been directed towards the UK and Ireland, helping to deepen low pressure systems. These systems have been directed towards the UK and have eventually become named storms due to the strong winds and heavy rain they bring.”

    The Met Office said climate projections indicate that winter windstorms will increase slightly in number and intensity over the UK as a result of climate change.

    However, there is medium rather than high confidence in this projection because some climate models indicate differently.”

      With regard the Traitors i am wondering whether they are pushing the idea that the people of Britain should be watchful of their relatives, friends, work colleagues and people they come in contact with because they may be Traitors to New Britain and the Woke Agenda and that they must report them to the authorities for isolation and reprogramming.

      NATO (US Military Foreign Policy) are winning. They have pushed onto the Russian border and have instituted several color revolutions in former Soviet States including into parts of Russia itself (provinces). The US NATO push East began in 1991.

      Putin and his Government have been powerless to stop it until now when it has arrived on their border. Putin has been surprised how resilient the Russian economy has coped with the destruction of its instrastructure (Russian pipelines), the freezing of Russian assets, the thirteen rounds of Western Sanctions – cutting it off from the dollar world trading system.

      Of course don’t expect any truth to emerge from the BBC which has been paid tens of millions of pounds by the UK government to counter “Russian propaganda”.

        NATO has lost in Ukraine, lost badly, half a million men lie dead, and God alone knows how many women and children. The worst intelligence service in the world, the CIA have been played for fools by the Russians and have made some appalling mistakes, the US military advisors made disastrous strategic mistakes.

        We know that Ukraine is a massively corrupt country and that aid money is being laundered through Cypriot and Israeli banks, much of it going back to the Corrupt Demonrat party.

        You are correct, the BBC is not going to tell the truth because it wants to keep the ‘unique way’ they are funded.

    Nottingham attacks: Families’ anger as triple killer gets hospital order
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68087302

    One would normally expect such a headline to have the picture of said killer right at the top of the article.

    Nope. Not on the BBC. You have to scroll a long way down to the bottom before you see it.

    And of course the BBC surround it with mass-empathy for the victims. This kind of thing is not news reporting. The BBC use it regularly to distract attention from the killer and the crime when it’s bad for the agenda.

    ‘Some had their heads bent, some were crying and some had to leave the room.’

    ‘Afterwards, people hugged. People sobbed. The red eyes were clear to see.’

    ‘Then came the family statements outside court. The raw emotion of the words of James Coates, Emma Webber and Sanjoy Kumar was felt by all in the media scrum.’

        Is the answer: With great ease?

        We don’t know. However, it is reported that the family is originally from Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bissau was a Portuguese colony. The Portuguese have been very generous in handing out passports to citizens of their former colonies. These passports give freedom of movement within the EU, and when Britain was still within the EU this meant they could move here. That’s how many Angolans, Mozambiquans, Indians (via Goa) and even Brazilians got here. All perfectly legal at the time, if morally repugnant.

    Ladies and gentlemen I give you a piece from the Telegraph today – the views of the repulsive jimmy naughtie – a full on BBC £ production company £ come liberal far left mouthpiece -about his fear of the growing GB news –

    STARTS The rise of GB News has presented the head of Ofcom with “the biggest problem he’s ever faced”, according to Jim Naughtie.

    The BBC Radio 4 presenter said the emergence of partisan news channels in the UK was a “worrying” development, making reference to Fox News’s support for Donald Trump.

    “Oh, it’s worrying. And I think anybody who looks at what has happened in the States, if they do care about the free flow of information and proper debate, would have to be worried about it,” Naughtie told Roger Bolton’s Beebwatch podcast.

    “Comparing GB News and Fox isn’t entirely fair. We’re not in that situation yet. But I do think Ofcom has now got a situation that it’s never faced before: not a complaint about a particular programme, a particular presenter, [but] a general kind of balance issue running up to an election when the rules become extremely tight.

    “There are legal obligations on people who have access to the public airwaves to behave in an impartial way.

    “GB News are open about it; they say, ‘Look, we’ve got an agenda, this is what we believe, and too many people are not getting our point of view so we’re going to give it to them. We’re not much bothered about anyone else’s point of view.’”

    ‘People just aren’t going to watch it’
    The former presenter of the Today programme said that GB News has obligations as a public broadcaster, unlike “some nutty podcast from a bedroom in Colchester”.

    “Not an absolute duty to have two minutes of one side and two minutes of the other, that’s the kind of impartiality that doesn’t make sense, but an obligation across the piece to be fair-minded,” he added.

    Lord Grade, the media veteran, is the chairman of Ofcom and Naughtie said: “I think this is one of the biggest problems that he’s ever faced and I think it’s extremely important that it’s grasped.”

    Ofcom is investigating several impartiality complaints against GB News. Last year, it ruled that a programme in which Tory MPs Esther McVey and Philip Davies interviewed Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor, breached guidelines.

    Naughtie said most viewers do not want to see politicians being interviewed by representatives of their own party.

    “I do think the common sense of the viewers will kick in here. Of course there will be partisans, doesn’t matter if it’s Right or Left, who would want to see that kind of thing but they’ll always be a minority.

    “I think the idea that you could sort of pull the wool over the eyes of the population at large by saying – ‘We’re going to have a proper political discussion of this, the only thing is that the four people involved in it all have the same view’ – I mean, people just aren’t going to watch it.”ENDS

      And he should watch Farage interviewing Ken Livingstone if he wants to see a REAL interview. He let crackpot Ken have his say without interruption then politely told him that his disagreed with everything he just said. Unlike the vile Maitiliss and Keunessberg who are snapping out interruptions as soon as they don’t like the answer.

      But this is the BBC and the Left for you. They have the most extreme of double standards and I’m not 100% sure they even realise.

        I think if you’re on £350,000 a year, you don’t have to even think what there is to realise, John.

        The public money-pot, having been filled by the private sector, is always being handed out willy-nilly, to people like the BBBC without a care in the world!

      The obligation to be impartial surely only applies to the BBC, the State Broadcaster, funded by taxpayers and possibly Channel 4. The status of privately funded GBNews is similar to that of the newspapers who are politically aligned. People will buy a newspaper that accords with their political views and now you can watch TV likewise. You can even buy an overtly Communist newspaper, the Morning Star. You can watch GBNews if you are patriotic and the BBC if you enjoy left wing nonsense.

    What a hypocrite.

    BBC news always run a story with a newsreader, then go to their “so and so” Senior Correspondent (presumably having many layers or ranks internally within 22,000″journalists”) for the BBC slant on things, never a balanced view.

    All their Palestine reporters range from the slightly antisemitic to the full blown Jew hater. Never any empathy with Israel.

    Imagine being any poor Jewish or Catholic person working for the Beeb.

    BBC News – nice bit of omission over trade deals . The Canada deal being negotiated has been stopped . As a result the cost of English cheddar has a 200% tarif added to to – cheers Canada … but in passing it mentioned that a trade deal with America has been ‘put on ice ‘… without mention that Biden Obama has put us at the end of the queue – and to use it as a weapon to help Irish Republicans – and their terrorist friends –

    The bbc paper ‘review ‘ which is another vehicle for pushing the approved ‘message ‘ mentions a cartoon in the house newspaper – the guardian – with a lot of killer knifes with an axe in the middle with the word ‘austerity ‘ on it – suggesting an excuse for the third world vermin killing others ….

    But I wonder what past ‘hard times ‘ wouid show ? Once upon a time the murder of – say – a 14 year old child would be major news – today it might make the regional section … and what has changed ?

    Let’s just consider…

    I know others have made the point that the bbc “news at six”spent several minutes advertising it’s latest “tremendous hit programme” Traitors and why it’s just so brilliant and seeking to understand just why so many people are obsessed with it etc,etc.

    The BBC news at 10p.m. repeated the hysteria this programme allegedly is generating outside the BBC.

    This is a measure of how grim the reality of BBC viewing figures more generally are.

    A basic bit of research reveals that, for example Crackerjack…
    ( I can’t help but mention its Friday) regularly had viewing figures of nearly 9 million. And Tomorrows world regularly pulled in up to 12 million.

    So yes ,Traitors and it’s audience of 3.8 million requires an enquiry into just how could it possibly be so bloody wonderful.

    Gaza war: ICJ to rule on call for Israel to stop military action
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68059715

    ‘The UN’s top court is to decide whether to issue emergency measures ordering Israel to halt its operations in Gaza.’

    I guarantee 100% they will not simply say ‘It’s not genocide’.

    It will be a load of waffle saying how it very nearly is but it isn’t and Israel should stop all the attacks in case they change their mind.

    No civilised Western country is backing it except those who are scared their Muslims will get violent.

    I half hope they say it is genocide and unwittingly stick their necks on the chopping block.

    What a total joke the UN has shown itself to be. Another Leftist infested globalist gravy-train that needs burning down and rebuilding. I bet the corruption in there exceeds even that of the EU.

      They’ll say it’s genocide – they’ll take the Arab money – in the same way South Africa did to bring to case . I mean South Africa ? A place on its way to becoming a failed state like the UK – tribal and lawless …. Complete with corrupt government …and no press freedom …. And failing public services ….

    Anyone ask the UN for the location of the graves of the supposedly 25,000 civilian dead. By my conservative calculation there ought be around a total of 15 miles of graves, about a metre wide. Should be pretty obvious.

    Or around 30 miles of trench graves 6 feet each

      That policy is conducted now by media mob is no longer in doubt, as is the position of most msmedia on too many crucial areas of policy. So credit to the current crop of spineless pols when they appear resistant to what can often be a coordinated campaign.

      My interest is the truth, and the media’s role in utterly compromising it as its contribution to coherently getting there and/or holding anyone to account over it.

      It has been a few days, but I am none the wiser about the facts of the apparent death of one, or more, supposedly innocent civilians in the war zone du jour. The BBC looks to have steered clear so far, which is a hint of ‘something’, especially when its usually active verify crowd are also less visible.

      What I do know is at the time a few days ago I saw the claims in question, and asked ITV and ex BBC gob Peston what the context and confirmations were. Seemed important as it got picked up pdq:

      https://expose-news.com/2024/01/25/sunak-faces-pressure-over-shocking-war-crime-video/
      British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been questioned over an ITV News video which shows a civilian being shot dead while waving a white flag in Gaza. The shocking images have sparked war crime accusations, and Sunak was challenged to give his reaction on Wednesday. ITV News at ten.

      https://x.com/ToryFibs/status/1750470463698968983?s=20
      Credit to ITV for posting the full thing

      The blonde’s script is more circumspect. But is already very dubious in sourcing under the ITV fold. I use this clown above as lies are all around, matched only by twitter trolls. And excitable anchors.

      “What I don’t think is wise… is for politicians to sit looking at clips… forming instant judgements about whether it’s a breach of this law or that”@Peston asks @Keir_Starmer about @ITVNews footage in which a civilian is shot dead while carrying a white flag in Gaza

      Thing is, Pesto doesn’t ASK anything. He flat out makes a statement claim that, to the best of my knowledge, is in doubt and still unverified. He does this a lot, based on dubious sources.

      Which then gathers momentum.

      The most heartbreaking photograph… The bare feet, the entwined bodies of two small kids… Take a moment to consider what the IDF sniper has done… This is a massacre of innocent civilians that your blank cheque to the most right wing, pro-Settlement anti-Two State government in Israeli history is funding @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak @POTUS @grantshapps @DavidLammy

      This then get ramped up by equally dubious sources to pressurise hapless pols ‘too busy’ to find out anything before commenting they don’t know.

      And so it goes on.

      Israeli snipers shot and killed two brothers in Khan Yunis yesterday. Nahid Adel Barbakh was shot by an Israeli sniper while evacuating Khan Yunis; his brother Ramiz tried to help him but was also targeted.
      Israeli snipers shot anyone who tried to rescue them, both were pronounced dead at the scene.

      Meanwhile, some facts that the insane media/political obsessions of establishment bodies now rammed with Islamic obsessives, continues to dominate.

      A deeply inadequate response

      What’s more inadequate is ITV have yet to reply to many asking pertinent questions about this footage, still doing the rounds gaining traction.

      These questions seem valid enough to warrant explanations. Why are they slow in coming still?

      Too many KNOW already.

      I will be the first to say anyone shooting an unarmed civilian holding a white flags needs being held to account, though in this conflict context is often suppressed as much as editing is deployed to make even that tricky.

      Who actually did the shooting? Why? Peston appears to know with the certainty of Donnison already. Is this justified? Does he get a slap wrist until next time too?

      Here, the US… it is a death spiral of misguided information.

      https://www.frontpagemag.com/israels-war-on-hamas-is-the-least-deadly-war-in-the-region/?
      “…even accepting the Hamas casualty figures (tainted and inflated numbers in which there are no terrorists, only civilians, and fighting age men are really children) as the media does, this is still probably one of the least violent conflicts in the region.”

      Some checked. Others left to flop about. Why?
