This one challenged Knebworth for sheer volume when I once saw it perfomed saw live in a small village in Scotland in a narrow street.
Which was why I gave up buying my dad bagpipe records for his birthday when he got a new stereo with bigger speakers.

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”
Nottinghamshire’s Conservative PCC Caroline Henry broke a 30mph (48km/h) limit in four locations in the county between March and June 2021. Henry admitted the offences at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court in May. The 52-year-old declined to answer questions on whether she would resign.18 Jul 2022
On her official PCC website, Henry listed ensuring an “effective and efficient” police response to speeding as one of her priorities.

I normally post pretty miserable comments – so here – for a change – is a bit of light relief courtesy of the DT – about a coloured BBC ‘presenter ‘…
STARTS Calling wild African animals by their English names is “jarring”, a Springwatch presenter has said.
Gillian Burke said she prefers to refer to animals by their traditional Swahili names rather than those commonly used in the BBC’s acclaimed nature programmes.
But the biologist acknowledged naming animals can be a “useful tool for storytelling”, as is often done by Springwatch with Freya the Golden Eagle among others.
Writing in BBC Wildlife magazine, Burke said: “The English names for east Africa’s iconic wildlife – so heavily featured in natural history films and in this magazine – jar, at least to my ear.
“In my own writing, I prefer re-introducing these familiar animals by their Swahili names: ndovu (elephant), twiga (giraffe), fisi (hyena) and my personal favourite, because I used to love how my dad said it, kongoni (hartebeest).”
Burke said Swahili was itself a combination of other languages and she would have to “dig deeper” to find the “true indigenous animal names”.
Swahili is regarded as Africa’s most internationally recognised language.
The presenter grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, and moved to Austria at age 10. She studied biology at Bristol University, afterwards becoming a natural history researcher and later a producer.
Burke first appeared on Springwatch in 2017 and became a regular presenter alongside Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, and Megan McCubbin.
Inequality in naming
She added: “Perhaps it is this inequality in who gets to do the naming, and the sense that we are unwittingly wielding some form of power by naming wild animals.”
The presenter did acknowledge that “naming animals is a useful tool for storytelling”.
She added: “It can help audiences connect with our animal characters and allows us to share experiences on social media.
“But naming is not just useful for us media luvvies, of course.
“Pet owners will know that naming is one of the first rituals that marks our bond with our companion animals.
“In science, the binomial system of Latin names serves as an anchor point.
“No matter where scientists are in the world, they know they are talking about the same species.
“All this is well and good, but … what we call living things matters.”ENDS
🎼Nellie the nvdou said goodbye to the circus 🎼😎( sorry if I misspelt elephant / hefelump )
If I stay in londonistan much longer I reckon I’ll be speaking polish – swahelli …Farsi … Turkish …
Gillian Burke forgets, or perhaps never knew, that animals like the elephant and the lion were familiar to the Greeks and Romans. Lions only became extinct in Europe less than 2000 years ago. Our English names for these animals derive from the Latin/Greek/Phoenician languages – and those people were naming animals native to their worlds, not exotic creatures from unknown lands in faraway East Africa.
It was nothing to do with ‘who gets to do the naming’ and ‘wielding power’. That’s just woke gibberish.
Of course there are some animals native to sub-Saharan African that were not known to Europeans until much later and we now call them by English names. That Gillian Burke prefers the Swahili names is perfectly fine and understandable. She is a black African. But we are white Europeans and we prefer our names, the English names. It doesn’t seem to occur to her that Swahili might jar on our ears as much as English does on hers.
Excellent point, Zel!
Also, I think I’d always prefer Pamela Stephenson, impersonating Jan Leeming pronouncing African politicians’ names!
Hate crime reported! Mocking other languages!

‘It’ here means ‘telling the truth’.
Well, bar pointing out stuff that is obvious outside the bubble.
Another day, another humiliating migrant fiasco. If it’s not the House of Lords or the devious civil servants putting a spoke in the works, then it’s the usual left-wing rent-a-mob types, turning up in organised droves and causing chaos. God, how I despise these people…
And what do plod do when confronted by these hordes? Well, not a lot actually. It beggars belief.
If it was a group of patriots celebrating St George’s Day and waving the national flag, then the coppers would have been tooled up and only too ready to baton charge them and maybe even reach for the pepper spray, but not this time.
No, I’m afraid that this was yet another humiliating fiasco as the mob let down the tyres of the coach that was supposed to remove the migrants and not a single illegal was taken away. God. it’s pitiful.
You know, these days I often look at my once proud and beautiful country and feel overwhelmingly depressed.
And later tonight we’ll get the local election results.
Oh joy…
Millions during during 2 world wars to save us from this type of control and fascism.
Maybe World War 3 will be about uprisings within countries and not Russia after all. The ones who hate us are definitely up for it. They already have the numbers to change government policy through threat of violence. What will they do when they have the numbers to make bigger demands such as Muslim control of somewhere like Wales ?. That’s when the terrorism starts as they try to make whiteys get out. Not for a few years yet – but that’s the lesson history teaches us.
I have just listened to this so you didn’t have to. It is unbearable, so only listen if you have a strong stomach. Why is it unbearable? Because it is all true:
Paul Weston – Full Blown Tyranny
Hard Times for Old England.
Thanks for posting that Atlas. Paul Weston has never got the recognition he deserves. He talks intelligently and sums things up very well. His one fault is that he can come across as very pessimistic and listening to him can make one feel there is no hope so why bother doing anything. You might as well die.
He was leading a political party for a while, I forget its name but it got nowhere. I would like to see him to become more involved in politics again. He just needs to be a bit more encouraging to his supporters and acknowledge the progress the fightback is making. Somewhere between the Eeyoreishness of Peter Hitchens and the over-optimism of Dr Steve Turley there is a balance
Very eloquent, but solutions?
Amit Shah: The quiet, feared strategist behind Modi’s rise
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-68653573
I’ve noticed for a while that the BBC really hate the BJP and I haven’t read a good word about them on the news page.
Of course we all know why. Heres’s the reason they are aiming this hit-piece at Amit:
‘Critics say he is the driving force behind some of India’s most controversial legislation, including scrapping Kashmir’s partial autonomy- which had been a BJP manifesto pledge for decades – and a new citizenship law that has been described as deeply discriminatory towards Muslims.’
Described by who BBC ?. The far-left like yourselves and the Muslims ?.
BBC news is now utterly worthless to me beyond giving me some headlines I can then check elsewhere to get the full truth. Their lies by omission these days are off the scale – but I’ve realised they get away with it because out whole public service is now infested with the same type of Left activists. The police and the civil service are as politically biased as the BBC now. Those who disagree dare not criticise as it will be the end of their careers.
Iran charges journalists after BBC report on teen protester’s death
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnd6k8ggzn2o
The very next day after complaining how a record number of journalists are working in exile after being deported from the country they are reporting on, the BBC show us this.
It’s because of this article:
Secret document says Iran security forces molested and killed teen protester
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68840881
Another Panorama style judge-and-jury BBC report which is based on a single document they somehow were given. They defend their use of this document with the line:
‘There are numerous fake Iranian official documents in circulation, so the BBC spent months checking every detail with multiple sources.’
‘EVERY detail with MULTIPLE sources’ BBC ?. What a very ‘Panorama’ statement that is. And which is 100% misleading bullshit. What are these ‘multiple sources’ ?. Other reports derived from the same ‘leaked’ document ?.. Are we supposed to take that as your evidence the report is true ?.
This is classic BBC. A complete jumble of inferences and conjecture mixed freely with some facts to try and make the reader assume they are ALL facts.
And isn’t it just amazing how the BBC activists can be so outraged by one death when it fits their agenda but sweep others much closer to home straight under the carpet when it doesn’t.
Blackpool South has fallen to the Labour Party rather bigly.
The good news is That Reform received 17% just a hundred or so votes short of beating the Tories for second place.
Labour and Reform will be happy. Tories and Lim Dems rather unhappy.
As for the local elections I don’t read a lot into them.
Locals Schmokyls as far as I’m concerned.
Last night? A lot of Tory voter’s did not vote yesterday .
They went to UKIP instead.
Yipee my party won!
Cranebridgeshire Police and Crime Enabler received 25% turnout. This means my DontVoteParty won yet again. This is a massive vote of no confidence.
Bring back the Rotten Boroughs so my party can start to have representation again. No candidate in a Rotten Borough can be a member of a political party IMHO.
Trouble in paradise.

BBC News programme is a complete mess.
LIES, DAMN LIES AND STATISTICS?
The BBC are very excited this morning, their hero Sir Keir Strummer has announced the Labour victory in the Blackpool bi-election is “SEISMIC” .
The swing is 26%.. sounds impressive and the BBC are truly impressed.
2019 Labour votes for Gordon Marsden 12,557
Yesterday 2024 By election.
Labour vote for Chris Wood 10,825…..seismic eh!
Carry on with the trusted, balanced, impartial reporting bbc.??
BBC Moaning Emole: Labour wins by-election and makes council gains
Tories are toast, yes, but the BBC’s desperation to avoid any hint the political establishment is too is frankly risible.
@FOYB yes my first thought too
Radio news came on and the Lincolnshire win omitted to give numbers for Labour (second in PCC race)
So I went to the Blackpool page and wow they went with % and omitted actually numbers
so I checked them on Wikipedia and saw the Labour tally had actually DECLINED
As usual before commenting I searched this page on “Blackpool” and found your comment
BBC article said this at the top
“resounding Westminster by-election victory.”
… Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer hailed his party’s “seismic win”
Starmer “The swing towards the Labour Party in Blackpool South is truly historic and shows that we are firmly back in the service of working people.”
—-
This end line is big deception from the BBC
BBC political editor Chris Mason said: “What is striking about it is not so much Labour’s victory but the scale of it – 26% is a whopping swing.”

I spot Labour supporters doing massive gaslighting by tweeting percentage graphs

The disconnect between the politico media establishment and reality is stark.

Readers added context.
Labour’s Chris Webb received 2,000 less votes than the Labour candidate in 2019.
The only thing historic is the low turnout. No Tory is switching to Labour they are staying home.

And Skid marks Rishi a net zero

Scots missed a chance to vote
Swinney on track to be first minister… expected to be… after his only rival ruled herself out… Kate Forbes… came close to winning last year… said she was persuaded to step aside… (Guardian); …main rival… said she would not enter the race… SNP will probably avoid a… bruising leadership contest (FT); SNP coronation (‘i’) – seems stitch ups are in and democracy is out
The Times frontpage continues its impersonation of the habits and style of the left-leaning Guardian. Oliver Wright, Policy Editor, laments how we’re now unlikey to see our Merrie England’s home counties completely concreted over: Wrecking ball hits housing plans… Councils… slashed house building targets… It creates a serious obstacle to Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to build 1.5 million homes within the first term of a Labour government
No borders they chanted and sure enough there were no boarders on the illegal migrant bus
Kieren Gair, Home Affairs Editor, sticks it to The Man: Dozens held after migrant barge protest… Police arested 45 people yesterday… shouted “no borders” before the coach left without any migrants on board (Times)
The formerly serious, formerly grown up Times further complains how our sleeply old west country just ain’t down with the kids: Better the Devon you know: Plymouth prefers nights in to partying… labelled Britain’s most boring city – one assumes the west country has more than enough Eff the Tories partying – what with Glastonbury. Anyway, that old part of the world did spawn young farmers’ favourites The Wurzels…

And if all that nonsense wasn’t bad enough… Big Pharma gets let off on a technicality: Families of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine victims end legal fight… abandoned attempts to sue… told that they would be unlikely to succeed… ‘It’s like the Government and AstraZeneca have wriggled off the hook on a technicality’ (Telegraph) – how odd, it’s not like our legal system and all those paid-per-hour lawyers don’t usually like to pursue a case to the bitter end no matter what – if only there were some form of public inquiry that could look into that
In my limited experience of the A13 … this doesn’t surprise me…
Tomo – I saw this on X a couple of days ago and – as a motorcyclist – it really made me shudder …. Riding a bike is the riskiest thing I do – every time it’s like a battle and demands total concentration – otherwise it’s the worst …
Motorcycle rider, cyclist and driver here…
I recall a Monday morning on a dialed up section where stone / aggregate trucks were belting along and several scooter riders were weaving in and out like complete mentalists – gave me the shudders
Gah! autocorrect….. dual section – the trucks were doing nearly 70, packed in, maybe 15 foot apart and the s cooterists were weaving back and forth seemingling oblivious of anyone behind them = madness!
I used to use the A13 ( business end ) regularly and those in the know viewed any ‘accident’ there as a ‘probable fatal ‘ with a few hours of closed roads ….
I know this site is about the BBC – but riding a bike / motorbike these days really is death wish territory – I went to the shops today – one motorist tried to kill me – it’s pretty regular ….
Volkswagen car registration: B3MMA
Vehicle details could not be found.
How come an illegally registered car gets to drive down a major highway with all those ANPR cameras without being stopped. I know there is no enforcement but this person was taking the michael. Lifetime ban from motoring as a minimum!
We have imported 3rd world driving standards.
People first point out some letters seem altered with tape
they can show VW Toureg’s with similar numbers
However the vehicleois a blue Golf estate
6 months go someone similar as caught
The Met had an ANPR “party event” in West London (A4 iirc) 4 or 5 years ago and so many got pulled (1000+ I heard) that they had to stop stopping people….
In my experience of west London there’s rather a lot of furtive Africans driving jalopies likely with the full bingo card of infractions….
Seems also likely that any attempt to get the feckers off the roads will be labelled waycist.
JezBo really has established quite the team.

BBC correspondent says the broadcaster has a pro-Israel bias and should be questioning the ‘facts’ of October 7 – sparking fury among Jewish colleagues
People won’t believe it until it is an ITV film or Netflix series.
At what point do the handcuffs put in an appearance?
Again be careful of the misdirection of the establishment setting up scapegoats in order to protect itself.
Every single political party knew of and approved what happened and yet they have all made damn sure none of them are in the firing line by pointing the finger at the little people instead.
Aside from the utterly useless Gestapo who can now only concentrate on political crime there are also the professional oversight bodies for the lawyers who appear to have done absolutely nothing to investigate the lawyers involved, nor have the judiciary been called to account for how they got it so wrong.
We know BLiar was aware of the problems of Horizon, and promoted its roll out regardless and then failed to come forward when the issues were clear.
We know Ed Davey was heavily involved as his brother worked for Cartwright King where he was handed a lucrative ‘consultancy’ after he left office.
We know the Tories had full knowedge of what was going on and again failed to take any action because a) they’re utterly useless, and b) they approved of what was happening.
On top of this are the senior civil servants who wrote the directions for the POL directors to prosecute and recover fictious losses they haven’t even been named let alone held to account.
And then there’s the Satanic Church of Socialism which might have held some kind of enquirey into Paula Vennells but instead tried to offer her the third highest position in the Church the Bishopric of London.
In short the whole thing is an overt example of the British establishment closing ranks to protect itself and pointing the finger at others in order to avoid attention themselves.

Twenty three percent turnout. Lol. This individual has a mandate to do the square root of fooook all.
23% ha ha ha – maybe she should only get 23% power?
Guest, in my view Police & Crime Commissioners are a waste of space charged to the increasingly poor UK taxpayer.
People to blame other people for not doing job for real people.
Here in our leafy corner of a shire there was zero mention of it, even on the local social media pages usually dominated by excitable activists. Not a single candidate in person or leaflet.
We went for the lolz. No one there. A farce. And a % of a % that will be claimed as a mandate to draw a stupid salary to achieve 4/5 of feck all.
Crime commissioners – if I recall – were an invention of a certain David Cameron – who has just promised to ‘give ‘ £3 billion – £3 000 000 000? Of borrowed taxpayers’ money to Ukraine – every year until whenever ….
… I’m guessing his habitual squandering of our money will finally end at the extinction of the blue Labour Party – some suggestions that green card might go to the country in July – but i reckon he’ll go all the way until they are truly kicked out …
As for crime commissioners – I wonder if anyone achieved anything ?
“The Panama Papers, 11.5m documents leaked from the offshore agent Mossack Fonseca, reveal the details of how Cameron Sr sheltered Blairmore’s profits with a series of expensive and complicated arrangements.4 Apr 2016”
Only if she got the full 23% of the vote, was there no opposition?
77% waited to see if ITV drama revealed the results.
I’m glad that nut nut got turned away from voting because he didn’t have the correct id . It sums him up and follows on from partygate – the laws he made were for others – not him – he’s far too important to have to ‘do laws ‘…

Still looking at a 500 blue labour seat loss
MM, the illustration to right of Boris Johnson’s head seems to sum up his chaotic lifestyle and his chaotic time as Prime Minister and I would include Brexit in that as well.
Boris was a chancer – who got a chance and blew it – watch the videos on this page and reflect ….
“Boris Johnson: Let the British lion roar”
Published 3 October 2017
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41489674
Boris Johnson: “It is up to us now… to let that lion roar.”
The foreign secretary told Tory activists the UK “can win the future” and should stop treating the referendum result as if it were “plague of boils”.
In his speech, he praised Theresa May’s “steadfast” leadership over Europe.
And he insisted the whole cabinet was united behind her aim of getting a “great Brexit deal”.
It’s suggested that Boris didn’t really “forget” his ID
rather it was a PR stunt
Maybe he is deluded enough to think he can resurrect the dead blue Labour Party after death …
So the whole premise of the BBC’s ‘Death In Paradise’ was a white man taken out of his comfort zone and forced to work on a tropical island – along all the fun and japes of his discomfort. The classic fish out of water.
Initially it was fun with the likes of Danny John Jules (cat from red dwarf) and a succession of fit assistants along with some childish but slightly credible mysteries.
Then the BBC started their magic. They gradually got rid of the famous people to replace them with 100% ethnic blacks with various skills such as being jolly fat girls or super talented young males given a chance to avoid prison by being a policeman !!. But it lost ALL of its wit and charm. The plots became tediously dull. It was like a manager said to some clone script writer – just copy what’s in the others.
So it turned to complete shit. Like everything else the BBC force their agenda into. And now I discover they are changing the main detective to be a black guy from Eastenders !!. It all shows me those in charge of it now have no clue whatsoever why it was popular.
The show is now 100% blacks. And the BBC think this is ‘equality’. We MUST get rid of this cancer.
Has the BBC moved from news to social engineering …. YES.
“By 2020, the BBC wants its employees to comprise 50% women, 8% disabled people, 8% lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people and 15% people from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds.{bbc.co.uk 14sep2017}”
and there , you have the BBC in a nutshell if you accept that BBC managers are a huge reason that it is like it is…?
I’ve come to that conclusion Tomo because I’ve noticed how ALL the reports by the clones are just too similar for it to be chance. Very often I notice some specific way of saying something in a report then I notice the exact same thing in the others.
It’s clear to me that they have a squad of quota employees drafting all the articles following strict guidelines about what they can and cannot say, then some political commissar in an office in London will review it and tell them to rewrite it so it fits the agenda.
Very often they all use the same terminology which you don’t notice until you see it across different articles. Then when you think about it, that word or phrase has been very carefully selected to mean something very specific which is ALWAYS to make it fit the agenda. It might be implying something without actually saying it or inferring blame without actually saying it.
It also means these commissars will be having meetings where they decide BBC policy – such as to support Hamas and what things to avoid mentioning or to cancel specific right-wing people. The minutes of such a meeting would be very interesting to read.
Yep
When the BBC did Beyond Paradise it lost all its charm. Suddenly there were issues; the relationship between Kris and the girlfriend, whether she was pregnant, the just black female detective. It wasn’t funny any more and all the escapism of a Caribbean island had gone. We tried to watch it and gave up.
But the last series that we watched set in the Caribbean had grown tired. It may be the last series but I guess there may have been more. The script writing wasn’t as good as earlier series, the plots had grown thin and predictable but they too had just lost their fun. Maybe there are fun things on the BBC these days but as we never watch we may be missing the things that would have us falling off the sofa with laughter.
I wondered if it was just me becoming jaded with the BBC label Deborah so I downloaded series 2 to check.
And I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. It was amusing, lighthearted and a bit of fun. I watched half of one episode of it recently and it was dull with a capital D.
Bouyed on by my discovery, I also downloaded a very old Father Brown (which the BBC has also turned into boring dross with their agenda). Lo and behold that too was every enjoyable.
One good thing about getting older is that I can enjoy old TV again as I have forgotten in from the first time.
Saying that, I found ‘Yus my dear’ with Arthur Mullard to add to my vintage comedy collection hard disk. It’s absolutely terrible – though I never saw it the first time.
John:
You are so right. Death in Paradise was a harmless little detective show, and as you say, the main feature was that the white British detective would gradually adapt to the lifestyle of the odd Anglo-French island.
I always thought this could not last though, because the British detective always solved the crime, and so acted as a bit of a “white saviour”. So now the BBC replace this character with a black man, and thus prove that they do not understand the very essence of the show.
It’s all right though, it can now go with the black gay Dr Who as a show I don’t need to watch, It can join ITV’s Midsummer Murders, where every village seems more diverse than Peckham.
They can offer us this crap to watch, but more fool us if we do.
Any bets on the ‘new’ Bergerac?
Humza Useless maybe? Though he might find Jersey a bit too “WHHHITE!”.
Bbc “Top talent” Nick robinson is very, very , excited this morning, behaving and sounding like a teenage boy with his first sight of pornography, the man needs a sedative.
His lack of self awareness is a laugh out loud feature . He spoke to Lee Anderson in a rather spiteful way and revealing a lack of proper preparation for the interview. Then Robinson spoke of politicians talking to each other on “other channels”he seems unaware of the BBC practice, of BBC colleagues endlessly chatting to each other about their own personal views as being one of the reasons the Today show has significantly fewer listeners this year than last, etc,etc.and so it goes on.
Labour have not it seems gained voters..no evidence of that yet.
My prediction is a huge swing , well in excess of 26% in a reduction in the audience for this consistently underperforming bbc rubbish.
Market rate if the market is a dodgy souk in Somalia.

“Joe Biden calls US allies India and Japan ‘xenophobic’
Published 5 hours ago”
US President Joe Biden has called Japan and India “xenophobic”, grouping them together with Russia and China as countries that “don’t want immigrants”.
His criticism of Japan comes just weeks after he called the US-Japan alliance “unbreakable” during a state visit from Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
India is also a key US partner, despite US concerns about human rights and religious freedoms there.

Back in the sixties, a lot of my friends went off to Australia, South Africa and beyond, to seek their fortune.
I think I was too much a home-lover to consider this – even though I was a bit scared of even working and living in London, but that did change!
Nearly all of them came back, except for my old flatmate who stayed in SA, but he had been brought up there, so knew the ropes. I ‘Googled’ his address the other day, and all the houses in his road have 12ft high barbed wire battlements, security gates and a general ‘look’ of fear and trepidation.
Sod that for a game of soldiers, I think I’d have to keep trying to do a job in the UK, despite the issues we all face nowadays, with a dreadful political future.

Yes, totally lacklustre choice in my case. Four cheeks of the same arse! How depressing.
What they are probably not telling is the swing towards independants, and a large number of those are pro Palestine supporters.
Not all of them but there is a definite swing away from the three main parties towards non aligned independants.

Female presenters lose equal pay claim in legal challenge against BBC
Martine Croxall and three other senior BBC journalists have failed in their bid to include equal pay as part of wider legal action against the broadcaster.
However, separate claims for sex and age discrimination will go ahead, an employment tribunal ruled.
Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera and Annita McVeigh launched the claim against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of a “sham recruitment exercise”.
The presenters, all between the ages of 48 and 55, claim they were snubbed for chief presenter roles following the merger of the BBC’s News and World News channels.
Their claim says they failed to land top anchor roles due to a recruitment exercise “rigged” in favour of certain senior presenters before applications opened.
This is a claim that the broadcaster vehemently denies, and the BBC says it has conducted an internal review into the matter.
A spokesperson for the BBC said after the ruling: “We are pleased with the result and that the tribunal has accepted our position. We will not be commenting further at this stage.”
A two-day preliminary hearing in Central London ended on Thursday, and a three-week tribunal to hear the claims in detail will be held in March 2025.
Equal pay – same as the cleaner and the janitors? That equal pay?
“BBC says it has conducted an internal review into the matter.”
“Croxall, McVeigh, Giannone and Madera were given the go-ahead to have their cases heard jointly at that hearing, which the BBC had opposed.”

Quick search … “PCS condemns suspension of Civil Service Muslim Network
On Thursday, the deputy prime minister suspended the Civil Service Muslim Network.
While civil service networks sit outside of the remit of PCS, it is concerning that Oliver Dowden should suspend a network whose purpose is to represent and support Muslim civil servants. That this has taken place during Ramadan is entirely insensitive.
Added to government departments such as HMRC claiming that donating to a legitimate humanitarian charity, Medical Aid for Palestine is contrary to civil service values, raises deep concerns of Islamophobia at the heart of government.”

New promo from BBC Studios for international customers:
“We’re not here to tell you what to think — we’re made to make you think”.
Continuing the international theme…
BBC US reporter Wendling has a book out this month: “Day of Reckoning — How the Far Right Declared War on Democracy”. His choice of publisher is interesting. From Pluto Press’ blurb:
“Emerging out of the Marxist tradition, we see ourselves as supporters of what Marx called ‘the real movement that abolishes the present state of things’. Today that movement takes many forms and appears in many different places, but its defining feature is opposition to the current global order, which places profit ahead of people […] we strive to provide a platform for activists and agitators across the globe.”
Any platform for Marxist agitators has nothing to do with Mike’s day job at the BBC, who are trusted and impartial as per their mission statement.
