    It’s time there was a neutral version of the bbbc’s verify.

    They could verify verify’s pronouncements and findings to see how they have handled whatever it is they are ‘verifying’ and, if as I believe all of us on here believe that the verify version would be lefty spin, they could give an honest appraisal of the spin which verify puts on their account of the news item.

    They could do the same with Ofcom who penalise only right wing comments and articles.
    They never go after the left.
    Just look at the far left bbbc and what they get away with both by heavily biased articles or leaving out news items that are against their far left agenda.
    Many on here like JohnC for example, post numerous examples of bbbc misinformation, disinformation or gaslighting.
    If ordinary people can come up with hundreds of examples of left wing bias then some professional body who know what to look for could have a field day.

    Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the great man Elon Musk set up something along those lines (as a hobby which I think he would enjoy) (and also buy GB News)
    Toby Smith’s free speech group is starting to get organised which is a good thing.

    Just as an aside. Rupert Lowe is doing a magnificent job as an MP. I wish he was mine.

    TOADY Watch #1 – from yesterday* rubbishing the latest appointments of the President Elect

    The greatest controversy for the BBC was of the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr as President Elect Trump’s Health Secretary. Robert Kennedy was a Covid vaccine critic which puts him beyond the pale BBC-wise. Notwithstanding the death of a BBC Radio presenter from, iirc, the northeast of England just after she received her first Covid injection. The BBC are keen ‘jab berwockies’.

    The controversy ran over into this morning’s (Sat) TOADY with the BBC reporting with some relish that US Pharmaceuticals had a bad day on the US stock market yesterday.

    The BBC want you to believe that masses of Twitter ‘X’ users are moving over to the woke Twitter clone, ‘Bluesky’.

    The Guardian are the latest to throw their toys out of the pram and leave Twitter because of it being ‘toxic’.

    In reality ‘toxic’ to lefties, is simply having any views posted on a platform that are not far leftist views. Or anyone challenging something they post.

    The truth is that trying to push that Bluesky will now take over Twitter is ridiculous.

    It’s like saying that because Doncaster ladies’ football team pulled in a crowd of 800 this week, that they will soon regularly have higher attendances than Real Madrid’s men’s team.

    I guarantee that the lack of engagement or views the stroppy lefty celeb types get on Bluesky will have almost all of them back on Twitter within weeks.

    They’ll all say, “Why should we just let them win?” as their reason for returning (not ego and income, of course).

    And they’ll be quitting (when their stupid views are challenged) and then rejoining with hilarious regularity.

    Although it’s somewhat poetic that they have left Twitter, after being so happy at hoardes of none wokies getting banned.

    F’ing hell …. UK is now mad!

    “Like many high harm crime types, hate crime incidents are recorded on police systems even when they don’t meet the threshold to be categorised as criminal offences. This serves two important purposes; it helps to build an intelligence picture for police and can ensure that victims can be directed to support services if required.

    The systems on which such incidents would be recorded are CRIS/CRIMINT/IIP and PND. Basic and Standard DBS checks would not include information pertaining to non-crime hate reports, but the information may be considered during an Enhanced DBS check.”
