    No, I do not pay for the BBC. The BBC cheese me off with their pro-Islam, pro-Palestinian, pro-UN, pro-UNRWA, pro-AGW&CC, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, Hard Left, Far Left stance. The fact that I can count 20 people, Vice Presidents and Patrons of the Humanist Society with links to the BBC must make them biased.

    See whether you agree: https://humanists.uk/about/our-people/patrons/

      The BBC went beyond bias some time ago into a full blown activist, lobbying, propaganda organisation including associating itself with woke activist organisations and Islamic terrorist groups among others.

      Only 20 Up2? Did you give up counting? I must admit I gave up scrolling down but was thinking it was the whole flippin lot. Even the non obvious, for example Clare Gerada used to be President of the Royal College of GPs but when I was still listening to the BBC, she was the go to GP for the Today programme for years after she had stood down.

        Debs, the list of Patrons appears to have grown in the wake of the Michaela School decision. It goes on forever, now. You are right about Clare Gerada. But I make the same point to you as I did to Scrobie: what does it say about the Humanist Society that so many of their VPs and Patrons are comedians and commediennes?

      Interesting list Uppers – well found!

      Immediately I realise that among lists of names like that, there are very few, if any, names associated with creating wealth for the UK, by building, manufacturing, retail etc., and that just about all of them are ‘talking shoppers’, it becomes clear that they consider themselves better placed to pontificate to Normal Citizens from a somewhat bizarre but precarious, lofty position, only understood by themselves.

      As there are so many ‘lecturers’ and ‘politicians’ in that lot, it’s no wonder that designers, engineers, chemical experts, construction professionals etc., are all avoided, because there lies the real body of prosperity providers for our country!

      Not many foreigners in that cluster either…

      Wonder why?

        Shappi Korsandi is a standout dusky Vice President and is all over the BBC. You make a good point about the prosperity providers. What does it say about the Humanist Society that so many of their VPs and Patrons are comedians and commediennes?

        Most of the clips were with Richie Benaud, CM-J and Co., and back when the BBC ran a great cricket commentary both on the wireless and TV. It’s such a shame that they’re ruined all that now.

          Scrobie, yes I remember Deadly Derek. I seem to recall that he put in a Test winning last wicket stand with John Snow (or was it Ken Higgs?) at some ground or other. I was Middlesex man by birth and inclination (Kent is my adopted county) but I always admired Derek Underwood almost as much as Freddie Titmus.

          You are right about cricket on BBC TV and radio. Ruined!

    Listening to BBC local radio the other day I found myself listening to self professed Meteorologist, Climate Expert, Jim Dale. Yes, the eco-loon appears to be a contributor to the BBC , I only knew him to broadcasting on GBNews up to now. I assume his support and promotion of climate hysteria is the main reason for the BBC to appear.

    In a report about COP28 we said that 1 in 4 deaths around the world are linked in some way to climate change. To be clear the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 1 in 4 deaths “can be attributed to preventable environmental causes and climate change is exacerbating these risks.”

    In a report about cases of anti-Semitism within the Labour Party, our correspondent said according to party figures, “the number of allegations only concern 0.6% of the party membership.”

    In fact Labour says the correct figure is 0.06%.

    Marky, I am still worrying about these 1 in 4 deaths. Accepting that we all have to go sometime, even if we believed in man made climate change, then if we sorted it, these 1 in 4 would still have to die, it would just be delayed. I think.

    This is an interesting, and perhaps topical historical piece which outlines the policies for nuclear war by Britain.

    Many of us will remember some of these policies although not know why they had been put in place or why they were later abandoned.

    This is not a survival how to video, it’s history of our country.

    Here is a map of all the Royal Observer Corps bunkers, you will probably find there is one near to you.

      Im much rather go with a H bomb . Much greener than inferior brands – more economical too .

      But i really think if there is to be a nuclear exchange it will happen by accident / cock up .

      A few incidents have been reported since the 1960s but i bet there are more .

      But then again a dirty bomb is more likely to be detonated but more capable of being managed that state built devices …

          Given that there is only one nuclear armed country in the Middle East and they are not Islamic you might want to reconsider that.

          As for Iran which the propagandists have lied for over 30 years is only weeks away from having a nuclear bomb, the mullahs there have issued a Fatwah against ever making one, and declared all weapons of mass destruction to be Haram.

            Thoughtful, you do not seem to be very thoughtful to me. You also appear to believe everything a Muslim tells you.

            Teheran is one of the most polluted cities on earth. Nuclear power does have peaceful uses, for example in power generation and in medical uses. The Iran regime also back Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis to name but three. The people running Iran also want to see the nation and people of Israel wiped from the map.

            It is one thing to have a supply of enriched uranium for power and medical uses and the next step is also to use it for military use. I am sure the mullahs can be persuaded by the IRG to declare a nuclear weapon ‘non-haram’. While it is relatively easy to make a nuclear bomb, it is quite a difficult thing to design a reliable trigger. It was said that when Pakistan achieved nuclear status, if they wished to deliver a bomb to India it would have to be put in a 747 and for the crew to fly it on a suicide mission.

    Trump trial jury selection complicated by opinionated New Yorkers
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68832369

    This article dedicates the first part of it’s narrative to describing one juror who was dismissed:

    ‘He breezily answered the first few screening questions: what he did for a living (finance), what he did in his free time (golf), which podcasts he enjoyed (Barstool Sports).
    But the biggest question of all stopped him short: Could you judge the defendant impartially?’
    He said he spent a lot of time with Republicans, and was raised in Texas, a state that skews conservative.
    He told the courtroom he felt he might have “unconscious bias”.
    ‘It might be hard to be impartial’ he said.

    He was ‘swiftly dismissed’ by Judge Merchan.

    Nobody else gets such attention. They get things like:

    ‘When Mr Blanche repeatedly pressed another man to give his true opinion of Mr Trump, the individual blithely replied: “If I was sitting in a bar I’d be happy to tell you.”
    But he insisted he would set any personal feelings aside in a court of law.’

    I think everybody knows that this trial is basically election interference exactly in line with what Biden said they would do to keep Trump from running again. If it suited them, the BBC would drag up that video in a link after every report like this. Same as they did for for the drug-addict career criminal George Floyd.

    But the key point here is that non of the MSM are even suggesting it. It’s as clear as day Trump cannot possibly get a fair trial now – but the only time the BBC put it in their reports is to quote Trump – which they only do because they have to for his ‘right to reply’.

    This is all way beyond Donald Trump now : it’s pure Left Wing fascism and the BBC are 100% complicit.

    The two clones (including Madeline Halpert who was on anti-depressants at 17) are joined by this one for this report:

    Dgub1ktW0AEMT2w.jpg
    She’s the one on the Left interviewing the extreme misandrist and racist far-left Alexandria Cortez. Her constituency in New York is 50% latino – same as her – so I’ll assume she got elected by the racist vote. Same as Khan.

      This would never have happened had senile old RINO the corrupt Mitch McConnell had sent a few Dollars to the Republican guy running for governor who very nearly defeated the Demonrat.

      Instead because McConnell is bent and full of self interest he sent money to a safe seat in Alaska to back a candidate who supported him as house leader. The Republicans would have won the seat either way and the only reason to send that money was corruption, but McConnell ran a disastrous campaign that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory !

    Sydney church stabbing was ‘terrorist’ attack, police say
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68823240

    Why did you put quotes around the word terrorist BBC ?. Did the police waggle the index finger of each hand in the air as they said that word ?. Or did you add it yourself because you personally don’t think these attacks are terrorism when Muslims do it ?.

    Anyway, it struck me how much they focussed on the angry reaction rather than the terrorist so I did a word count.

    They wrote 352 words about the angry response compared to 198 about the actual terrorist.

    It reminded me on the Finsbury park attack by the whiote guy in his van. This is the latest BBC headline:

    Finsbury Park terror attack: Threat still very real, mayor says
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-65930761

    No quotes around ‘terror’ there BBC.

    And I remember how the Muslim mob took him and were going to murder him for what he did. And I have absolutely no doubt they would have. But an imam stopped them (like the Priest gave the man sanctuary in the church until the police arrived). How did the BBC report that ?.

    ‘Mohamed Mamoud – the imam who was hailed for calming fellow Muslims and preventing retaliation after the attack – was appointed OBE for services to the community in London.’

    Totally different.

    More immense agenda-based double standards by the BBC.

          It’s an interesting debate about how we should vote in the next election.

          People say you should always vote. I disagree. If you don’t care who is elected, you should not vote. Only those with an actual opinion should vote otherwise a random choice just negates a deliberate choice.

          Second I believe that you should always vote IF you have an opinion no matter how disgusted you are with the politicians – otherwise you just go down as someone who doesn’t care.

          For the next election, a vote for anyone other than the Tories guarantees Starmer as PM and Lammy as foreign secretary. The mere thought horrifies me. But the Tories absolutely do not deserve my support after what they have done to themselves since Brexit (with lots of help from the BBC).

          So for me I have to vote Reform and accept we are going to get a Labour government. But if enough people vote Reform, it might just give the Tories a kick up the backside to actually start representing the silent majority to keep power – which is the one and only reason we got a referendum on the EU. There is no chance whatsoever Sunak will resign until he has led them to disaster. He has too much support from the gloablist Left because basically he’s one of them. The BBC will continue to discredit him, but not enough to bring him down.

          The big fly in the ointment is that Labour will keep the BBC as it is and they will continue their agenda to get rid of any popular right wing politicians. The only chance we have there is for everyone to stop paying the license fee and force it to be changed.

            “Labour will keep the BBC as it is…” . So will the Tories. They have done next to nothing to reign in this monster and they have no intention of doing so. They might make a few remarks from time to time just like they do on immigration but they have proved themselves deceitful in the end. Nothing will change even if the Tories do somehow squeak in. Unless, of course, there is a huge vote for the British resistance, and the leader of that movement at the moment is clearly the Reform Party.
            I have been a little critical of aspects of Reform and still have some concerns, but they are minor considerations in situation the UK is in now. The coming general election presents a golden opportunity to deal the establishment a huge smack in the face.
            It is too late to talk about other alternative parties now. Even more so to talk of dingbat non-voting strategies at this stage.
            It is time to show the country that what is being classed as fringe opinion is in fact the mainstream opinion.
            A good politician knows when to act and that time is now in the UK. As Mark Steyn says “The future belongs to those who turn up for it”.

      Michaela school will keep its prayer ban – but as a Muslim teacher I know it doesn’t have to be this way

      Increasingly, we are seeing innocuous expressions of Muslim identity being viewed as extreme or anti-British, and the upholding of Michaela’s ban reinforces the idea that – as Birbalsingh herself puts it – we need to sacrifice certain things in the name of Britishness. For Muslims, that comes at a higher price than it does for others.

      “We need to leave the ECtHR”

      Farage “well it’s not going to happen is it”

      Gasbag “Well I’m going to keep calling for it” !

      Shows what a fantasy land these people inhabit because it’s a million miles from the real one!

      WE CANNOT LEAVE THE ECtHR !

      Get used to this! Russia is a signatory to the Charter you think they’re going to follow any of the diktats of these petty foggers?

      The problem Britain has is in the way BLiar made the ECtHR superior to British law, other countries have much lesser importance attached to theh act right down to advisory only, in which case they can simply say “well we hear you advice and thanks for that, but we’re not going to follow it”

      All it needs is for the UK to drop the standing of the ECtHR to one of the lower importance one and the problem is solved.

      Gasbag knows this of course. She also knows we can’t leave, so she is playing to a gallery of ignorants. This is a way of remaining as we are within the ECtHR and changing nothing and then blaming someone else for a failure which was engineered.

      She has sat in the cabinet of a Marxist Party and done nothing to further the cause of conservatism, and there is no reason to believe she will change. It’s a convincing act for some, but for others we can see right through her.

    Me and the missus watched the recent BBC ‘Howards End’ series the other week and it was painfully excrutiating for me. BBC agenda everywhere : totally over-opinionated and bossy women with the usual white-facing of blacks where whites should be.

    But most ridiculous part was the poor clerk whose working-class cockney wife was black. And not attractive in any way – presumably because they didn’t have many to choose from. She was the sensible one and he was the weak one. Every scene with her was just wrong – but the most ridiculous part was when it transpired the main upper-class man had had his own affair with her in the past !!!. It made no sense whatsoever. She was a totally different class, not attractive at all and black – all in Victorian London. Never in a million years.

    It was so wrong, we then watched the original film to see what the BBC had changed. In that one, the women were still opinionated but in a much more normal, non-aggresive way.

    But the big part is that the cockney woman was white and acted like a real scrubber, not the sensible one in the house like the black woman. And of course when she met the main man, she knew him because she was formerly a prostitute. Exactly in line with her character.

    It seems that the BBC decided the strong black woman could not be a prostitute so they changed it to be an affair. And instantly ruined all the credibility of the story.

    An excellent example of what Leftist interference does to everything. It ruins it.

    50,000 Russian soldiers confirmed dead by the bbc
    (headline changes when you click on the link)
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-68819853

    “confirmed by the bbc” – its a wonder they didn’t do a Verify on it – but then that would only be confirming what they are confirming, or something like that 🙂

    Dont forget to mention the death toll for Ukraine, oww go on, then forget it

    PS the 50,000 is about twice as many as the bbc employ – why so many people, why so many channels

      Just been reading that myself andy.

      When the BBC are spending so much time and resources on propaganda stories like that instead of the actual war, what it’s really telling you is that Ukraine are losing.

      The enormous elephant in the room of course is how Ukraine can say or do anything they like without questions. Same as the terrorist Hamas.

      Here’s lead author : looks exactly like all the other clones entrusted to inform us of important world events by the BBC. She too can’t believe she actually got that job and is too dumb to realise why.

    Inflation has fallen a bit ( a lie ) but not as much as was forecast . Regimes on both sides of the pond will cut interest rates before they should for electoral reasons – meaning inflation will be higher and go on longer …. And helped by higher fuel costs if the Iran Israel war gets going …

    On a morning when: Smacking children must be outlawed, say doctors (Times)

    Spare the rod, spoil the child…?

    Whack-O!, a British sitcom TV series starring Jimmy Edwards, was written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden… broadcast from 1956 to 1960 and 1971 to 1972… on the BBC… Edwards took the part of Professor James Edwards, M.A., the drunken, gambling, devious, cane-swishing headmaster who tyrannised staff and children at Chiselbury public school (Thank you Wiki, it was a different time)

    Meanwhile the Star observes of the nation’s favourite Aunt Sally comedy couple Harry & Meghan: Publicity-shy Royals now flogging jam

    The Daily Mail dubs her brave: Victory for bravest headteacher in Britain – whilst the giveaway corporate free-sheet that is the Metro brands her strict: Strict head’s praytime win… Tough at the top: Headteacher Katherine Birbalsingh

    The Rishi lackey loyalist Daily Express attempts to claim this court decision – that a headmistress can in fact make the rules in her own school – as somehow in some way being a victory for our wet Tories – skulking as usual in a cowardly manner back there at the back of the class whenever the word muslim is spoken: ‘Victory for all schools’ as prayer ritual ban is backed… Minister Esther McVey says High Court decision is a triumph for ‘common sense’ (Express)

    Maths keen headboy and playground prefect Rishi Sunak may have slightly outgrown his uniform (his mum says it’s not worth buying him a new one for just the one short term he has left – and he got into trouble the other day wearing his trainers) but he’s now got his beady eye on what’s going on behind the bike sheds and is ready to report miscreants: Rishi’s flagship smoking ban gets support of Commons (Express) – flagship, huh?

    Our BBC is explicit in reminding us that there’s now no such thing as conservative-flavoured as opposed to socialist-flavoured, government policies – just the ever-onward march of liberal managerialism: Political longevity of Sunak smoking ban likely to outlast PM (BBC)

    I’ve got items in my fridge that are likely to outlast this PM

    Mr AsI is a non-smoker – but I’m with Kemi on this one: ‘I don’t think the ends justify the means. It didn’t feel right to me’ – as quoted in the Graun

    And as if further proof were required that the ultimate wet Tory wet dream is a half decent write-up from the BBC and Guardian – and they can’t ever achieve that without an ineviatble generous helping of grudging: Tory divisions exposed as Sunak smoking ban moves a step closer… Flagship bill passes but Badenoch and Truss lead sizable revolt (Guardian) – safe in the knowledge that any token resistance will be more than outweighed by Labour’s non-opposition votes.

    I watched two extended interviews with Liz Truss about her new book, one by Nigel Farage on GB News anyone by Fraser Nelson ,the editor of the Spectator , on its TV channel.
    Firstly, there was much to agree with in what Liz Truss said, particularly that British people had been disenfranchised as Parliament had transferred massive amounts of power to unelected quangos. This had rendered ministers impotent to get through legislation that the civil service and quangochracy didn’t agree with. I think we can all see the truth of this and that it was Blair’s most malign legacy.
    The other stand out feature of the two interviews was the attitude of the interviewer themselves.
    Farage was broadly sympathetic and recognised much of what Truss said about the Tories having accepted the Blair consensus about government and Britain. Of course he told her the Tories had only themselves to blame which I think she accepted.
    Nelson however was quite aggressive and it was clear that he simply couldn’t accept that there should be any legitimate challenge to the Blair hyperglobalist consensus. Basically he thought that was how the world worked and the Tories must work within the Blair framework. Remember he is the editor of the Spectator , virtually the House Magazine of the Tories. Obviously he is a One Nation hyperglobalist and is exactly people like him that is the reason why the Tories have so comprehensively failed their voters and the country.
    I look forward to Liz Truss joining Reform the sooner the better.

        You are too pessimistic. If the right wing of the Tories and Reform can join forces after the election then I think millions of people will at last have a party which Represents them and be able to vote for it.
        In Europe the globalist elite are running scared , events in Brussels yesterday confirm this. European electorate is shifting to the right. In France RN will win by a landslide in June and Macron will be hobbled . After another dismal Labour government why won’t the UK do the same ?

            It’s true that elites never give up power without a struggle. Their control over the news is weakening thanks to the Internet and the ordinary people of Europe are beginning to realise that if the globalists stay in power then they can kiss goodbye to their way of life. That is a powerful motivator.
            Once right of centre nationalist governments are in power then the struggle against the internationalist bureaucrats and quangos begins. The long March through the institutions in reverse but this time with the explicit agreement of the people , a full democratic mandate.

I (Phil Hammond) don’t remember anybody saying anything about “ever closer union” or a single currency.

    The BBC. Which is very curious about some things and remarkably incurious about others.

    Yesterday they reported the welcome news that a school in Londonistan does not have to provide dedicated space for Muslim pupils to pray. A court has ruled on this.

    The BBC did however manage to find a remarkable number of people who did not agree with this decision. What a surprise.

    The court case was brought by a pupil. Note that. By a pupil. Since when have pupils at schools unilaterally been able to take cases to court?

    In other words, who was backing her? Who put her up to it? Who funded her? Who provided the legal support, the lawyers, the barristers? What pressure groups were involved.

    That, surely is a key component of the story.
    About that, we had nothing from the BBC.

In her own alleged tweet, she accuses the Red Cross of standing by and watching Jews die in concentration camps as well as the hostages (taken by Hamas on October 7) suffering

    Another apparent post said: “What is Islamaphobia???? Seriously what Islamaphobia?? I don’t see anyone in [the] streets of [the] UK calling for the obliteration of Muslim countries, threatening Muslims, in fact the only threat to Muslims is OTHER Muslims..look around the world..the rest of us just want peace.”

    I would suggest anyone who takes any of this seriously as Islamophobia is deranged and has left the path of sanity.

    I would however go further and suggest that these complaints from the Left smack of the anti Semitism and pro Hamas sentiment Labour is famous for, and if the Tories had any spine at all (which clearly they don’t) they would be firing these accusations straight back at the Left. I am sickened by the Tories over this and they have sunk even lower in my estimation if that was even possible.

    The judgement in the michaela case is already online . Its 83 pages . I will read it all and report back . Mona sidique – the academic the bbc today programme appeared for the ‘ student ‘ … no surprises.

    The school asked to remain anonymous due to threats but was refused as no actual violence had been proved .

    The mother didnt go to the parents’ evening and claimed to have not known of the ban on all worship – and never asked …

    Islam really is flexing its ‘ muscle now – christians jews liberals queers are on the target list …. Using legal aid of course

      But this is the price of having bargain basement politicians, if we the people won’t pay them others will and we know from recent cases that the oil rich Middle East is very active in providing money to politicians.
      He who pays the piper calls the tune and here’s the evidence of that.

      With plenty of help from the beeb… R5 had a lengthy input yesterday from the Imam Ajmal Masroor who tried to put the case that secular rules were intolerant, because they were restricting Muslims in this case.

      His brother is Mustafa al-Mansur, who organised the Grenfell Tower demo and was once arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.

      Quite the little in-group.

    Western families – stop having kids due to climate change!

    Turkish families – Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on Turkey’s citizens in Europe to step up their rates of procreation and have five children each, saying a booming Turkish population would be the best answer to the EU’s “vulgarism, antagonism, and injustice..

    BBC doing there best to defend Rayner and keep her safe by stating as of now she has done nothing wrong.

    What the presenter on the BBC News channel conveniently forgets it was Rayner that set the sleaze bar by stating that anyone just being investigated by the police must resign, why is this parasite still in office.

    Ive just realised, she’s from the Left and Labour and as such beyond reproach as Durahm Police proved

    “Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!”
    ― Andrew Jackson
