The BBC is happy – its’ new government loves it – the state broadcaster will be an even better propaganda outlet for it . We could play a game – when will anyone at the BBC criticise its’ Far Left Daddy ?

    Law firm Leigh Day have popped up again feeding on the migrant issue.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxe2v2mdg7vo

    This time it’s a pantomime nonsense over an island used by would be migrants to Canada whose boat fell to pieces leaving India with a boatload of greedy shysters heading for Canada.

    This company needs to be vigorously investigated in terms of who the hell is paying them cos it’s certainly not the bloody migrants.

    I see the leftie media are riding on the crest of a wave and about to run a hit job on Boris for his part in Brexit. They really are a bunch of evil bastards. They want to stomp on his face and get revenge for the best thing he ever did for the UK.

    TUV writes to BBC about disgraceful bias

    Adam Smyth
    Director

    BBC Northern Ireland

    Dear Mr Smyth,

    I write to advise you of the outcome of the 2024 general election in Northern Ireland and specifically the performance of TUV which I would be obliged if you could bring to the attention of your colleagues in the production, presenting, online news and graphics departments of the BBC.

    TUV polled a total of 48,685 votes or 6.2% of the total across 18 constituencies in spite of the fact that we only contested 14 constituencies.

    In 6 out of 14 seats TUV out polled the SDLP. In 6 out of 14 seats TUV out polled the UUP. In 6 out of 14 seats contested TUV out polled Alliance.

    In North Antrim TUV won a Westminster seat and Jim Allister is now an MP. This means that TUV has the same number of MPs as the UUP and Alliance.

    I mention the above facts because they appear to have passed the BBC by and they should have some impact on your output. For example, the BBC are still using graphics acknowledging that the UUP and Alliance have one MP but lumping TUV in as “others”.

    This morning on Good Morning Ulster – the programme where one of your “commentators” described Jim Allister as a Lundy without challenge before the election and a reporter employed lines straight from DUP election literature to dismiss TUV candidates at the start of the election – the presenter claimed that listeners would hear from “all the main parties” without GMU having so much as attempted to get a TUV voice on the programme.

    Many of your journalists and reporters – and without naming anyone there is one in particular who comes to mind – have repeatedly said that no one saw the North Antrim result coming. This is in spite of a conversation I had with another BBC journalist a week and a half out from polling day in which I said it was possible. I take exception to being dismissed as no one, particularly when I am right.

    You will recall that before the election I wrote to you many times to complain about the treatment of TUV and made the case for treating us a major party. The points made in those letters were dismissed and the issues about unequal treatment were never acknowledged. I now demand that the BBC live up to its duty to be a public service broadcaster and reflects the reality that TUV speaks for a significant number of people in Northern Ireland. It is an insult to our voters who, I remind you, pay the licence fee too and deserve to be heard.

    Yours sincerely,
    Samuel Morrison, TUV press officer

    Now there are six?
    I’m not sure but I think Jim Allister of the TUV- for North Antrim, Northern Ireland has taken the Reform UK whip.

      Apparently the fake president just needs the ‘names’ of the illegals. The illegals won’t vote so then they just print out ballots with these names on and stuff them in an unattended voting station somewhere.

      This is just one of the voting fraud mechanisms (if I have understood this correctly).

    Major shake-up coming to TV licence fee? Labour Culture Secretary’s bold vision to make BBC more accountable
    (GB News) I read.

    Are they about to abolishing the hated TV license, finally? I read on.

    ‘Lisa Nandy, Labour Member of Parliament for Wigan, has stepped-up to become the Culture Secretary for Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Ms Nandy has previously outlined dramatic reform for the £169.50 fee that would make the national broadcaster more account to licence fee payers ‘…

    So is she abolishing it? Silly of course not! The BBC has advises them that they are short of cash due to people not watching them in any great numbers. So competition is the problem for the BBC and they now have a ‘cunning plan’ and I must admit its clever, within weeks the BBC will get more money and another ten years ‘TV Charter’ to continue the great ‘social globalist’ – agenda protocol, in exchange for a ‘public committee’ (Labour members) sitting passively on the board for a small 100k fee. (or more for a day a month). The kind of people who staff – ‘OfCom’ and the ‘Post Office’, or the fabled ‘NHS’ will get the chance to work from home telling us not enough ‘coloured’ people involved in the ‘Battle of Hastings’ should be massively ‘represented’ on the BBC, even its its absurd. As it is, I learn only only this week. Absurd? Not to the BBC!

    Anyway I digress (a bit)
    What she actually said was this:
    ‘According to the article by Ms Nandy, a new model where the BBC is “owned and directed by licence fee holders” would be an improvement and ensure the broadcaster is accountable to its funders — the public who pay the licence fee — and not just to the Government of the day’. – (But it amounts to the same thing. Another on board Quango on public subsidy). With a pay rise reward to the BBC for doing global socialism at its ‘finest’.

    The reason why is explained here:
    ‘You’ve always needed to be covered by a TV licence to catch up on previously aired shows and films on BBC iPlayer. However, watching on-demand content from streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, and Prime Video was exempt. But that’s all about to change’.

    That’s because these streamers are increasingly branching out into live broadcasts.’

    Ah ha!

    So, on that basis, why not TAX all independant UK TV and radio channels?, (just in case they might broadcast ‘live’). So no exemptions, you pay IF you own ‘anything’ at all, – it does not even have to be a TV set. Just an APP. A mobile phone.

    So if you only watch NetFlix, you pay the same as a dedicated BBC TV watched by those who only watch ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ that famous ‘LIVE’ TV show that never was. And probably (BBC only) famous around the world.

    ‘As such, Netflix viewers — as well as those who tune in to other streamers who dabble in live events — will need to spend £169.50 on the licence fee.’ As they describe it.

    It all the fault of the competition, the pesky Channel 4, Sky, NetFlix and the worst offenders are GB News.
    Yes those viewers, should be paying for the BBC, for unfair competition. In ‘true’ Socialsim you can have only one purveyor, One shoe factory (state funded once size fits all), one energy company (wind power), one food shop (Co-Op fits the bill), and one national broadcaster for radio and TV. It all makes perfect sense if your in the Labour party or find yourself rather short of state funded enterprise.

    So instead of raising taxes we call it a ‘TV license’, and make sure that all 70 million people in this country are forced to pay for it. It won’t improve the BBC, of course, but like the NHS, they will have plenty of money and far more than any ‘other’ private broadcaster, so they can still say, they are the nations ‘favorite broadcaster; even when it would clearly fail the BBC VERIFY truth unit. They never get asked.

    And you may ask, quite rightly if the BBC are taxing ALL ‘live’ broadcasters in case they have a ‘live’ broadcast, then do we get a ‘refund’, when we discover that most if not all BBC programmes not ‘live’ and very few are. But the BBC claim its unfair, and Nandy wants to make sure the BBC is ‘protected’ under Labour for at least the next ten years.

    The sentence another TEN years.

    bbc reports:-

    “Starmer says defence spending pledge ‘cast iron’ as he arrives at his first Nato summit”

    … “but is not providing any timescale for that commitment”

    Maybe 6 years time then?

    Again BBC, Nato is NATO
