Goodness me. ‘BBC Verify’ are like shoolchildren playing a game. The narrater (another female of course) sounds like an 8 year old reading aloud to the rest of the class.
All they are doing is taking video which nobody doubts and where they have been told where it was taken and trying to be the ‘authority’ on truth. Basically by looking on google maps and matching buildings.
But the best thing about this one is they say they did it ‘by matching the outlines of trees’. Absolute 100% nonsense. You couldn’t possibly match a ground view outline of trees from a google-maps satellite view and claim it provides proof. At best they’ve seen some trees on maps and seen some which roughly match in relation to the only thing they really use : other buildings.
It’s a sign of how bad BBC staff are now that they think ‘Verify’ is some sort of serious reference for the truth. The kidults doing it absolutely believe it. Of course it’s all just part of the bigger agenda trying to build up the ‘BBC Verify’ brand ready for when it matters.
What also amazes me is how all the other Leftists media treat it all as if it is indeed the gold-standard ‘reference’. I’m still not sure if they are the same types of idiots at the BBC or they are just more hypocrites who are cheerleading the BBC’s plot.
It’s the same is Biden’s totally inappropriate and nasty insults aimed at Trump at the press dinner yesterday. They were simply not funny and almost entirely deviod of actual wit. Yet it’s been plastered everywhere that he ‘roasted’ Trump. Yes : in the same a 10 year old would.
What I did notice though was all the journalists laughing as if he said the funniest thing they ever heard. Like Baldwins Trump impersonation on SNL, they were laughing and applauding for the worst possible reason. Hate.
.. and what picture do you think the BBC chose to head this article ?.
‘Local officials said Israel carried out further deadly air strikes overnight in the southern Gaza town of Rafah’
A 100% empathy picture meant to make us think the baby is being cared for after one of Israels air strikes.
But as usual it makes no sense. Was the baby sleeping like that ?. Is she going to change it’s nappy without making a clear area ?. What has just that corner been cleared of debris and why is the actual mattress it was on totally clear ?.
It’s 100 staged. They’ve got that old woman to hold the baby with it’s head on the corner of a cushion so we can see all the scattered breeze blocks around it and a ‘journalist’ has just happened to be stood at the perfect angle to take a picture.
So I read this report on the BBC and am left with the distinct impression the Burkina Faso government just murders civilians.
My suspicions are further aroused by ‘Human Rights Watch’ who are the most blatant of far-Left activists who totally ignore anything which doesn’t suit their agenda.
And sure enough a little research tells me all I need to know. They are fighting Muslim terrorists who this BBC report tries to ignore other than referencing some unidentified ‘Islamists’.
‘International and human rights groups, including the European Union and UN, have accused Burkina Faso of serious human rights violations in its fight against Islamists, including the indiscriminate killings and forced disappearances of dozens of civilians.’
No mention anywhere of what these ‘Islamists’ have done to provoke it. The BBC only link to this:
‘Burkina Faso army massacred 223 villagers in revenge attack, says HRW’
They don’t link to the terrorist massacre of 170 which caused it where:
‘Survivors of the attacks told news agency AFP that dozens of women and young children were among the victims.’
A search of google for ‘burkino faso terrorist attacks’ provides the side of the story the BBC are hiding.
What has happened to the world ?. The UN has turned into a left-wing activist farce just like the BBC and all these ‘aid’ organisations are doing everything they can to protect Muslim terrorists. I am now presuming it’s simply because those who stand up to them tend to be on the Right so they are useful as political weapons in articles like this.
Here is the author. Exactly what you would expect. A blank sheet of paper who will accept whatever she is told to write by the senior BBC commissars because she realise just how lucky she is to have even got that job.
These articles just confirm to me yet again that the BBC don’t care one bit who dies or how horribly. Their corpses are only useful if they can be used for the far-Left agenda.
You'll not see this happening in Scotland, my brother in law has worked on two building sites where houses are being built in the Glasgow area, hundreds of houses just for economic migrants
Those houses were fitted out down to teaspoons, it's wrong migrants are before everyone… https://t.co/gEdeS3bNVO
Well, all I can say is that some of those Irish have more in common with those who eat at Alans Snackbar than anyone else. It’s easy to see how they can be terrorists. And I also have to add that I’ve seen a bit of that kind of madness in all those I have worked with when they got angry.
But the BBC love them all because they love anyone who hates the colonial, racist, oppressive British Whitey. It’s interesting to see the tide changing and their anger now being directed at immigrants.
And while I’m on the subject, the Irish also got that ‘racist favouritism’ that the Muslim staff got in all the big companies I worked at. I could tell everyone was being specially nice to them to avoid being called a racist. It was very obvious to me. I’ve learned that many people in life don’t notice much at all unless it’s pointed out to them.
It’s also very obvious that the Irish are just as white as the English. They are of the same race too, like the Welsh and the Scots. And they are no more angry about mass immigration into their country than the English are.
I’m just pointing these things out.

Lets just hope a proper Conservative party will rise from the ashes. Though I fully expect the BBC will assasinate the career of anyone in it they judge to be too right-wing.
“I’m at the @wef to back UK security and prosperity, make progress on getting aid into Gaza and continue building towards a permanent, sustainable ceasefire.
The UK and Saudi Arabia are working together to tackle these issues and other priorities like energy and climate change.”

I like the sentiments and the energy but it why is it sung in American? Also to catch on around the country it needs a chorus to which people can join with gusto. And the line “We Want Our Country Back!” should ring across the land. (Imho that is)
I’m not much of a music person I admit so I can’t rate how good it actually is, however, the fact that these songs are appearing a lot on YT shows that the Brits are beginning to wake up and the fightback is imminent.
(I’m wondering if there is any chance this is could be sung at the BBC Proms?)
‘All the incidents involved took place outside of Gaza before the current war.’
‘Israel took corrective action in four units, giving “additional information” on the fifth, the department says.’
‘This means all the units remain eligible for US military assistance.’
The rest of this fairly lengthy piece is 100% BBC Panorama style selective information without context and rhetoric trying to imply guilt and is of no relevance to the actual story.
Meanwhile nothing whatsoever about the bad things Hamas have always done and are still doing. Have they not violated any humans rights at all BBC ?. Does arbitrary murder count ?. Or using civilians as human shields on a vast scale ?.
It’s this total lopsided agenda-based bias which makes everything the BBC report worthless. You have to go elsewhere if you want more than carefully selected and worded ‘truths’.
“Cluster munitions from the US arrive in Ukraine
This article is more than 9 months old
The bombs, which open in air to deploy scores of deadly bomblets, are banned in 120 countries, but not in the US, Ukraine or Russia”
No picture of the man who did it and who the entire article is about. That’s because he is black and the racist BBC agenda doesn’t want you to associate black people with this kind of barbarism. Even though they DO commit these savage murders FAR more than white people relative to their percentage of the population.

Mr AsI admires a good tabloid headline. It’s something of lost art these days. The truly concise witty and memorable mottos once found on our frontpages now appear few and far between.

Meanwhile Channel 4 TV comedy Peep Show featured the drug addled insights of the free spirited popular character Simon ‘Super Hans’ – refered to in certain literary quarters as a deuteragonist – meaning a secondary main character of a narrative – the viewing audience enjoyed cameos such as his refusal to have a logo drawn in the froth of his pint of Guinness – “That would be like drinking an advert”. At the mention of the disease cancer Super Hans would reasonably complain “They should find a cure for that”

Do you still watch QT -?here’s a piece about in the DT by Charlie Moore ….
STARTS Last Thursday, I appeared on BBC Question Time. On being told, when invited, that the venue would be the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham, I had asked how the studio audience would be selected.
Bernie Grant was the local Labour council leader in 1985 when rioters in Broadwater Farm, Tottenham, murdered a policeman, Pc Keith Blakelock. He declared that “the youth think they gave the police a bloody good hiding”. The area retains its reputation for militancy. The balance of the studio audience is often a problem with Question Time. I suspected it would be particularly so in Tottenham.
The BBC reassured me: “There is an audience producer and 2 audience researchers whose role is to speak to and vet every member of the audience including in-depth social media checks to ensure that they are who they say they are and hold the views which they claim (which includes excluding extremist views). This … should mean the audience is more representative than your last appearance.”
Arriving, we were greeted by a small but noisy mob of pro-Gaza activists, who targeted a fellow-panellist, Wes Streeting. He and I arrived together, and security moved us fast to the door, but not before the apparent ringleader, a man with an enormously loud voice, yelled at Mr Streeting for supporting “genocide” and being a traitor to his gay sexuality (on the trans issue, I think). Mr Streeting remained calm and we passed inside. The beating of protesters’ drums outside continued through the evening.
The panel was as respectable as Mr Streeting – a Liberal Democrat MP, Munira Wilson, the policing minister, Chris Philp, and the amusing Lord Adebowale, chairman of the NHS Confederation. Fiona Bruce, 60 that day, presided pleasantly. There was no disorder.
What there was, however, was the most unrepresentative audience unanimity. About 30 people, plus the three whose questions were called, must have spoken on air. Without, I think, a single exception, they all expressed Left-wing views.
For them, everything was the Government’s fault for not spending enough money. Rishi Sunak was a billionaire (he isn’t, actually) and so understands nothing. There should be no illegal immigration controls, let alone sending people to Rwanda. Everyone who wants a sick note should have one. The place was almost literally an echo chamber.
I was not personally ill-treated, but I did find it uphill work. The audience was so sure of its views that it was not interested in discussion. On rents, for example, I pointed out that if no-fault evictions are banned (the current crazy plan of Michael Gove), many landlords will leave the market, so rents will rise. This obvious truth seemed part-repulsive, part-incomprehensible to those present.
The main victim was not me, but the audience back home. Presumably they want a neutral atmosphere in which to hear a range of views. Most will be unpolitical and therefore uninterested in electioneering and slogans.
When I complained afterwards to the friendly staff, it was explained that the majority of those chosen had told the audience selectors they had voted Tory at the 2019 election. This prompts two questions. One is, “If they were a majority, why did you choose them? I thought you wanted party balance, not a one-party majority.” The other is, “Do you think they were telling the truth? If you cannot tell, don’t you need better methods of selection?”
Unfortunately, studio audiences today are the real-life equivalent of the Twittersphere – a space dominated by politicised people who want a fight. People of more small-c conservative views are usually shyer than the Left, certainly in the politically skewed BBC milieu. Which small-c conservative person would want to pipe up in a studio audience like last week’s? The problem reinforces itself.
This issue will become hotter in the coming general election debates as party supporters try to pack the audiences. If studio audiences are unrepresentative, how can the BBC perform its impartiality function? Should we opt for French-style election debates with no studio audience, or select to get a balance of views rather than nominal party allegiance?
It wasn’t like that in Sir Robin’s day
Before coming to Tottenham, I checked, and found that I first appeared on Question Time in 1987. I tried to compare then and now.
Then, there were only four panellists and far fewer audience interventions. Now there are five, and so much audience participation that the number of subjects covered falls (only three last week). The old show was pacier.
Forty years ago, panellists had dinner together beforehand, as still happens on Radio 4’s Any Questions? This made us feel friendly and relaxed. Now it is just a dreary snack, sometimes not even seated.
At that time, the presenter, Sir Robin Day, would sit with the guests at dinner and jolly us along. Now no one really acts as host or introduces panellists to one another. After the show, Robin Day would ring up or write to thank panellists. Today, nothing like that happens and you barely meet the chairman off air.
As the programme’s audiences have fallen, it has degenerated. Nowadays, the most important public figures do not want to take part.
One thing, however, has not changed in nearly 40 years – the fee. I think I got £150 then. I get £150 now, which works out, given the hours of preparation and travelling involved, at roughly the minimum wage. Not much for quite a bleak experience. ENDS
Such a disappointment to see Eddy degenerate into a left-wing activist who clearly is unable to carry out any civilised debate. Totally consumed by emotion. Facts and real life are optional. Just like the reports the BBC cloners churn out these days.
Like many comedians Zephir, they are great while they are acting. Once they think they are famous enough such that their own opinions are more important than anybody elses, they get vocal and we learn what they are really like.
And then we are reminded what unpleasant people showbusiness is actually full of. And it’s exactly the same in the BBC. A real nest of vipers.

The BBC are in full on firefighting mode this morning, desperately trying to bolster the credibility of both The SNP and Yusaf.
Along the lines of – this is just a blip and nothing to do with the appalling record of the SNP and normal SNP services will resume as soon as possible.
There is absolutely no way they will allow any positive views of possible opponents including most of all The Conservatives.

proportion although a minority of Jewish activists had at the very least sympathy feelings for the Communist cause.
Because the Jews and Communists had stood shoulder to shoulder in their fight against Mosley and his black shirts.

Peter Doshi, an editor at the BMJ pointed out in Oct 2020 before rollout that the vaccine trials weren’t set up to evaluate reduced deaths or serious illness. The studies were designed to show effect on infection (via lab test) and symptoms of mild illness only.
They weren’t looking for effect on transmission or on deaths and they weren’t necessary to get approval. In contrast to the marketing campaign by gov and media which made ridiculous claims of efficacy.

I’ve NEVER seen the BBC use video from social media when it’s enrichment. The nearest they go is take a still from the video then blur out his face so we can’t tell he is black.
It will all be quickly dropped of course if it turns out he is an immigrant.

That’s what paved the way for her fellow academics to miscast the harassed as harasser, and for her university’s management to delude themselves that by turning a blind eye to bullying they were protecting free expression, when they were really undermining Phoenix’s ability to exercise just that.”

In it’s personal independence payment (PIP) welfare campaign, the BBC has dug up 3 more retards :
A 71 year old , whose being claiming it for 8 years.
Post pension age people can’t claim it, but can keep receiving it. BBC don’t bother mentioning that.
I’m sure there’s numerous pensioners with worst arthritis than her, who get nothing, but naturally she doesn’t give a toss about them.
Anyway she needs PIP money to collect her prescriptions from the pharmacy…
Second up a 34 year old autistic kidult, whose in the application stage.
He wants help to buy things like noise cancelling headphones.
Apparently works full time as a creative designer despite:
“Sam does not drive because he has problems with depth perception and physical co-ordination, so he has to use public transport.”
Third up unemployed Vicky with-
“bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, says the idea of changing the current system was worrying.”
claiming £283 a month in PIP, a nice top up on her other benefits.
And yet again they are all White and the BBC and government are directing hate against them.
Surely Eddie you must see you are being played? Where are the thousands of boat people, the illegal migrants who have pushed up the numbers so high there’s a 12 month backlog on claims?
Of course there are no Pakistani kids with conditions brought about by in breeding and arranged marriages with cousins either.
This is classic BBC anti White race hate, time to put the blame where it really lies and stop illegals claiming disability benefits.
So some MP’s are calling for illegal immigrants or “asylum seekers” as they prefer to call them for obvious reasons to be given the right to work after 6 months.
These MP’s are obviously so away with the fairies that they cannot see the obvious consequences.
1. The majority will end up either on social security or working in the black economy for less than standard wages and thus undermining jobs that should be going to people born and living legally in this country who otherwise will be thrown out of work.
2. If this were to be put in place as standard it would signal the biggest clarion call invitation to literally millions and millions of people in shithole third world countries in Africa and the Middle and Far East telling them that they will find paradise in the UK, they only need to get here and they are rewarded. They will come in such massive numbers that the boat people will look like a scouting party.
It may even attract millions from some of the South American basket case countries who would bring all their drug-dealing and gang violence paraphernalia with them.
This will end up driving this country deeper into the crap and closer to ending up as a third world shithole as well. We are well on the way there now!
Do these politicians have absolutely no common sense or thought process beyond stupid virtue signalling for brownie points?
Hainault Horror ( it’s down the road from me ) – a local news story made big in the absence of anything else – and the BBC got bored with the SNP ….
…-anyways – as a kid who had the misfortune to grow up in the 1970s there was Saville and Gary glitter . Now at the time I thought both of these characters were weird – saville especially he never communicated ‘normally ‘ – and Glitter ? What a horror …
They run documentaries of them now – ITV have just one on Glitter – all very well now – but not so much then ….
Nowadays I suppose it’s footballers and their young fans ….
I’d say the only hope we have is the political ‘elite’ getting a swift taste of the shit they have inflicted on the rest of us. Sadly, I think they will be too well protected and they really don’t care about us. At all. Until election time. I’m done with them.

Funny – I was trying to think what blue labour has achieved in the last 12 ? Years …. I cannot think of one positive thing they have done ( for me ) – and I think the UK couldn’t be in a worse state than what they have done ….
For instance – we have expensive power – expensive water – expensive petrol – expensive food – high taxes – high borrowing and overwhelmed public services cause by huge uncontrolled foreign population growth ….
They deserve the absolute worst ..
I’m much easier these days, denigrating the Conservreds and the BBC, to any of my chums, and it’s apparent that at first, they look at me somewhat sideways, then start to agree, then get better at it, then we’re all in the pub with pints and a great Hey-Ho!
Rishi really has to go, and quickly!
Normal Citizens have had anough of foreign influences getting in the way of true British values, and when he’s gone, we’ll have a few years of Kia and Crayons, but after that, I’ll be nearly eighty, so will probably vote for next-door’s cat…

BBC Verify examines reported strikes on Russian oil depots
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68893589
Goodness me. ‘BBC Verify’ are like shoolchildren playing a game. The narrater (another female of course) sounds like an 8 year old reading aloud to the rest of the class.
All they are doing is taking video which nobody doubts and where they have been told where it was taken and trying to be the ‘authority’ on truth. Basically by looking on google maps and matching buildings.
But the best thing about this one is they say they did it ‘by matching the outlines of trees’. Absolute 100% nonsense. You couldn’t possibly match a ground view outline of trees from a google-maps satellite view and claim it provides proof. At best they’ve seen some trees on maps and seen some which roughly match in relation to the only thing they really use : other buildings.
It’s a sign of how bad BBC staff are now that they think ‘Verify’ is some sort of serious reference for the truth. The kidults doing it absolutely believe it. Of course it’s all just part of the bigger agenda trying to build up the ‘BBC Verify’ brand ready for when it matters.
What also amazes me is how all the other Leftists media treat it all as if it is indeed the gold-standard ‘reference’. I’m still not sure if they are the same types of idiots at the BBC or they are just more hypocrites who are cheerleading the BBC’s plot.
It’s the same is Biden’s totally inappropriate and nasty insults aimed at Trump at the press dinner yesterday. They were simply not funny and almost entirely deviod of actual wit. Yet it’s been plastered everywhere that he ‘roasted’ Trump. Yes : in the same a 10 year old would.
What I did notice though was all the journalists laughing as if he said the funniest thing they ever heard. Like Baldwins Trump impersonation on SNL, they were laughing and applauding for the worst possible reason. Hate.

Gaza war: US ‘hopeful’ Hamas will accept Israel’s new ceasefire offer

‘Local officials said Israel carried out further deadly air strikes overnight in the southern Gaza town of Rafah’
A 100% empathy picture meant to make us think the baby is being cared for after one of Israels air strikes.
But as usual it makes no sense. Was the baby sleeping like that ?. Is she going to change it’s nappy without making a clear area ?. What has just that corner been cleared of debris and why is the actual mattress it was on totally clear ?.
It’s 100 staged. They’ve got that old woman to hold the baby with it’s head on the corner of a cushion so we can see all the scattered breeze blocks around it and a ‘journalist’ has just happened to be stood at the perfect angle to take a picture.

Burkina Faso bans more foreign media over Human Rights Watch massacre report
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68920225
So I read this report on the BBC and am left with the distinct impression the Burkina Faso government just murders civilians.
My suspicions are further aroused by ‘Human Rights Watch’ who are the most blatant of far-Left activists who totally ignore anything which doesn’t suit their agenda.
And sure enough a little research tells me all I need to know. They are fighting Muslim terrorists who this BBC report tries to ignore other than referencing some unidentified ‘Islamists’.
‘International and human rights groups, including the European Union and UN, have accused Burkina Faso of serious human rights violations in its fight against Islamists, including the indiscriminate killings and forced disappearances of dozens of civilians.’
No mention anywhere of what these ‘Islamists’ have done to provoke it. The BBC only link to this:
‘Burkina Faso army massacred 223 villagers in revenge attack, says HRW’
They don’t link to the terrorist massacre of 170 which caused it where:
‘Survivors of the attacks told news agency AFP that dozens of women and young children were among the victims.’
A search of google for ‘burkino faso terrorist attacks’ provides the side of the story the BBC are hiding.
What has happened to the world ?. The UN has turned into a left-wing activist farce just like the BBC and all these ‘aid’ organisations are doing everything they can to protect Muslim terrorists. I am now presuming it’s simply because those who stand up to them tend to be on the Right so they are useful as political weapons in articles like this.
Here is the author. Exactly what you would expect. A blank sheet of paper who will accept whatever she is told to write by the senior BBC commissars because she realise just how lucky she is to have even got that job.
These articles just confirm to me yet again that the BBC don’t care one bit who dies or how horribly. Their corpses are only useful if they can be used for the far-Left agenda.

Well, all I can say is that some of those Irish have more in common with those who eat at Alans Snackbar than anyone else. It’s easy to see how they can be terrorists. And I also have to add that I’ve seen a bit of that kind of madness in all those I have worked with when they got angry.
But the BBC love them all because they love anyone who hates the colonial, racist, oppressive British Whitey. It’s interesting to see the tide changing and their anger now being directed at immigrants.
And while I’m on the subject, the Irish also got that ‘racist favouritism’ that the Muslim staff got in all the big companies I worked at. I could tell everyone was being specially nice to them to avoid being called a racist. It was very obvious to me. I’ve learned that many people in life don’t notice much at all unless it’s pointed out to them.

It’s also very obvious that the Irish are just as white as the English. They are of the same race too, like the Welsh and the Scots. And they are no more angry about mass immigration into their country than the English are.

US says Israeli army units violated human rights
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68925495
Just picking out the relevant parts:
‘All the incidents involved took place outside of Gaza before the current war.’
‘Israel took corrective action in four units, giving “additional information” on the fifth, the department says.’
‘This means all the units remain eligible for US military assistance.’
The rest of this fairly lengthy piece is 100% BBC Panorama style selective information without context and rhetoric trying to imply guilt and is of no relevance to the actual story.
Meanwhile nothing whatsoever about the bad things Hamas have always done and are still doing. Have they not violated any humans rights at all BBC ?. Does arbitrary murder count ?. Or using civilians as human shields on a vast scale ?.
It’s this total lopsided agenda-based bias which makes everything the BBC report worthless. You have to go elsewhere if you want more than carefully selected and worded ‘truths’.

Do you still watch QT -?here’s a piece about in the DT by Charlie Moore ….
STARTS Last Thursday, I appeared on BBC Question Time. On being told, when invited, that the venue would be the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham, I had asked how the studio audience would be selected.
Bernie Grant was the local Labour council leader in 1985 when rioters in Broadwater Farm, Tottenham, murdered a policeman, Pc Keith Blakelock. He declared that “the youth think they gave the police a bloody good hiding”. The area retains its reputation for militancy. The balance of the studio audience is often a problem with Question Time. I suspected it would be particularly so in Tottenham.
The BBC reassured me: “There is an audience producer and 2 audience researchers whose role is to speak to and vet every member of the audience including in-depth social media checks to ensure that they are who they say they are and hold the views which they claim (which includes excluding extremist views). This … should mean the audience is more representative than your last appearance.”
Arriving, we were greeted by a small but noisy mob of pro-Gaza activists, who targeted a fellow-panellist, Wes Streeting. He and I arrived together, and security moved us fast to the door, but not before the apparent ringleader, a man with an enormously loud voice, yelled at Mr Streeting for supporting “genocide” and being a traitor to his gay sexuality (on the trans issue, I think). Mr Streeting remained calm and we passed inside. The beating of protesters’ drums outside continued through the evening.
The panel was as respectable as Mr Streeting – a Liberal Democrat MP, Munira Wilson, the policing minister, Chris Philp, and the amusing Lord Adebowale, chairman of the NHS Confederation. Fiona Bruce, 60 that day, presided pleasantly. There was no disorder.
What there was, however, was the most unrepresentative audience unanimity. About 30 people, plus the three whose questions were called, must have spoken on air. Without, I think, a single exception, they all expressed Left-wing views.
For them, everything was the Government’s fault for not spending enough money. Rishi Sunak was a billionaire (he isn’t, actually) and so understands nothing. There should be no illegal immigration controls, let alone sending people to Rwanda. Everyone who wants a sick note should have one. The place was almost literally an echo chamber.
I was not personally ill-treated, but I did find it uphill work. The audience was so sure of its views that it was not interested in discussion. On rents, for example, I pointed out that if no-fault evictions are banned (the current crazy plan of Michael Gove), many landlords will leave the market, so rents will rise. This obvious truth seemed part-repulsive, part-incomprehensible to those present.
The main victim was not me, but the audience back home. Presumably they want a neutral atmosphere in which to hear a range of views. Most will be unpolitical and therefore uninterested in electioneering and slogans.
When I complained afterwards to the friendly staff, it was explained that the majority of those chosen had told the audience selectors they had voted Tory at the 2019 election. This prompts two questions. One is, “If they were a majority, why did you choose them? I thought you wanted party balance, not a one-party majority.” The other is, “Do you think they were telling the truth? If you cannot tell, don’t you need better methods of selection?”
Unfortunately, studio audiences today are the real-life equivalent of the Twittersphere – a space dominated by politicised people who want a fight. People of more small-c conservative views are usually shyer than the Left, certainly in the politically skewed BBC milieu. Which small-c conservative person would want to pipe up in a studio audience like last week’s? The problem reinforces itself.
This issue will become hotter in the coming general election debates as party supporters try to pack the audiences. If studio audiences are unrepresentative, how can the BBC perform its impartiality function? Should we opt for French-style election debates with no studio audience, or select to get a balance of views rather than nominal party allegiance?
It wasn’t like that in Sir Robin’s day
Before coming to Tottenham, I checked, and found that I first appeared on Question Time in 1987. I tried to compare then and now.
Then, there were only four panellists and far fewer audience interventions. Now there are five, and so much audience participation that the number of subjects covered falls (only three last week). The old show was pacier.
Forty years ago, panellists had dinner together beforehand, as still happens on Radio 4’s Any Questions? This made us feel friendly and relaxed. Now it is just a dreary snack, sometimes not even seated.
At that time, the presenter, Sir Robin Day, would sit with the guests at dinner and jolly us along. Now no one really acts as host or introduces panellists to one another. After the show, Robin Day would ring up or write to thank panellists. Today, nothing like that happens and you barely meet the chairman off air.
As the programme’s audiences have fallen, it has degenerated. Nowadays, the most important public figures do not want to take part.
One thing, however, has not changed in nearly 40 years – the fee. I think I got £150 then. I get £150 now, which works out, given the hours of preparation and travelling involved, at roughly the minimum wage. Not much for quite a bleak experience. ENDS

I started to write about this last night on the website and
then took it off . To think more about it . Because it is
worrying. And I thought I must not be my usual l sarcastic self.
I am reading a book ” We Fight Fascists by Daniel Sonabend.
This is a factual book about the period just after the Second
World War.
It is said that history repeats itself. I just hope that if this book
is factual, and in fact a friend of mine who’s dad was involved
in the “action” and is prominently mentioned in the book
told me that the book is accurate,
Of course I knew about Oswald Mosley and his black shirts
who were defeated in the battle of Cable Street in 1936.
What I didn’t know the rampant anti Semitism that still
existed in the UK AFTER the war.
A lot of it was latent . But even MSM were capable of expressing even more than than latency . Similar to the BBC of
today. Something important to know is that quite a fair
proportion although a minority of Jewish activists had at the very least sympathy feelings for the Communist cause.
Because the Jews and Communists had stood shoulder to shoulder in their fight against Mosley and his black shirts.
Here is an open letter written in October 1946 by a Mr Orman
a local to Home Secretary Chuter Ede.
! suppose it is perfectly in order for a lousy swine like Jeffrey
Hamm to get up on a street corner in the East End of London and
shout ” Down with the Jews. Burn the synagogues. Kill the Aliens, ” and he gets away with it. But if a person tries to pull him up, what happens? The so-called keepers of law and order, go up to this person and tell him he’d better move away before he gets hurt.
The next part of the letter I will not expose. May I suggest that
some of you read this book . ” Back to the future” springs to mind. If in a different context.

In fact, unless there were like 70 or more people there, his own presence took the quota of Muslims above the Scottish national average.
Luckily for him, BAME cannot be racist according to the BBC hypocrites. Only white people.

Peter Doshi, an editor at the BMJ pointed out in Oct 2020 before rollout that the vaccine trials weren’t set up to evaluate reduced deaths or serious illness. The studies were designed to show effect on infection (via lab test) and symptoms of mild illness only.
They weren’t looking for effect on transmission or on deaths and they weren’t necessary to get approval. In contrast to the marketing campaign by gov and media which made ridiculous claims of efficacy.

The suspect went on to attack “other members of the public and two officers”

LMAO, he’s white so they have video up of him straight away.
Contrast that with when they refuse to release details and tell the public not to speculate or share anything on social media.
I’ve NEVER seen the BBC use video from social media when it’s enrichment. The nearest they go is take a still from the video then blur out his face so we can’t tell he is black.
It will all be quickly dropped of course if it turns out he is an immigrant.
The BBC have wet their panties and are making a complete meal of it – with the Home Secretary demanding to know what has happened already. What a shame they don’t get so interested for all the black murders which the BBC often don’t even report.
What a complete farce this is.

Vindictive, cowardly leaders bowed to the gender bullies and failed Jo Phoenix
This article is more than 3 months oldSonia Sodha
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/28/jo-phoenix-open-university-court-victory-gender-sex-based-womens-rights
“What put a mark on her back was her view, shared by a majority of people and enshrined in law, that whether someone is male or female is a matter of reality, not belief, and that someone’s gender identity, or belief about their sex, cannot supersede their actual sex for all purposes in society. That’s what paved the way for her fellow academics to miscast the harassed as harasser, and for her university’s management to delude themselves that by turning a blind eye to bullying they were protecting free expression, when they were really undermining Phoenix’s ability to exercise just that.”

There are different types & sizes of swords. I would consider that common knowledge. Until we have a name- we cannot know. The age of the man was publicised but not a name.
I have read rumours that he is Albanian or Eastern European. I emphasise that is only rumour at this stage.

In it’s personal independence payment (PIP) welfare campaign, the BBC has dug up 3 more retards :
A 71 year old , whose being claiming it for 8 years.
Post pension age people can’t claim it, but can keep receiving it. BBC don’t bother mentioning that.
I’m sure there’s numerous pensioners with worst arthritis than her, who get nothing, but naturally she doesn’t give a toss about them.
Anyway she needs PIP money to collect her prescriptions from the pharmacy…
Second up a 34 year old autistic kidult, whose in the application stage.
He wants help to buy things like noise cancelling headphones.
Apparently works full time as a creative designer despite:
“Sam does not drive because he has problems with depth perception and physical co-ordination, so he has to use public transport.”
Third up unemployed Vicky with-
“bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, says the idea of changing the current system was worrying.”
claiming £283 a month in PIP, a nice top up on her other benefits.

And yet again they are all White and the BBC and government are directing hate against them.
Surely Eddie you must see you are being played? Where are the thousands of boat people, the illegal migrants who have pushed up the numbers so high there’s a 12 month backlog on claims?
Of course there are no Pakistani kids with conditions brought about by in breeding and arranged marriages with cousins either.
This is classic BBC anti White race hate, time to put the blame where it really lies and stop illegals claiming disability benefits.

So some MP’s are calling for illegal immigrants or “asylum seekers” as they prefer to call them for obvious reasons to be given the right to work after 6 months.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/30/asylum-seekers-uk-right-work-six-months-public-services-cross-party-report
These MP’s are obviously so away with the fairies that they cannot see the obvious consequences.
1. The majority will end up either on social security or working in the black economy for less than standard wages and thus undermining jobs that should be going to people born and living legally in this country who otherwise will be thrown out of work.
2. If this were to be put in place as standard it would signal the biggest clarion call invitation to literally millions and millions of people in shithole third world countries in Africa and the Middle and Far East telling them that they will find paradise in the UK, they only need to get here and they are rewarded. They will come in such massive numbers that the boat people will look like a scouting party.
It may even attract millions from some of the South American basket case countries who would bring all their drug-dealing and gang violence paraphernalia with them.
This will end up driving this country deeper into the crap and closer to ending up as a third world shithole as well. We are well on the way there now!
Do these politicians have absolutely no common sense or thought process beyond stupid virtue signalling for brownie points?

Hainault Horror ( it’s down the road from me ) – a local news story made big in the absence of anything else – and the BBC got bored with the SNP ….
…-anyways – as a kid who had the misfortune to grow up in the 1970s there was Saville and Gary glitter . Now at the time I thought both of these characters were weird – saville especially he never communicated ‘normally ‘ – and Glitter ? What a horror …
They run documentaries of them now – ITV have just one on Glitter – all very well now – but not so much then ….
Nowadays I suppose it’s footballers and their young fans ….

Funny – I was trying to think what blue labour has achieved in the last 12 ? Years …. I cannot think of one positive thing they have done ( for me ) – and I think the UK couldn’t be in a worse state than what they have done ….
For instance – we have expensive power – expensive water – expensive petrol – expensive food – high taxes – high borrowing and overwhelmed public services cause by huge uncontrolled foreign population growth ….
They deserve the absolute worst ..
