    It seems the Christmas tune ‘it’ll be freezing this Christmas ‘ has been banned by the BBC . If you listen to it – you can see why a far left state broadcaster – so down with the kids it sexually assaults them – won’t play it .

    But imagine if a Tory or right wing government has ended the fuel allowance – the bbc would be pushing it to number one – ahead of that gimp Eddie Davey …

      there’s some context here that is being conveniently glossed over – look at *the length of time taken*, *assurances given* and whoppers told by officials along the way.

      Emmanuel, it isn’t about whether the Waspi women get the money (and I don’t think they should get any money either), but the fact that all these people now in government stirred trouble whilst in opposition. They didn’t believe what they said and what is becoming more and more obvious is that everything they said as they attacked the Toree government was just to stir trouble.

      They did the same with the farmers. Steve Reed stood there last spring and said Labour wouldn’t introduce any changes to IHT. It is usual that before a general election the government’s books are open to the opposition. The story of a £22 billion black hole was a lie too.

        The women’s money is secondary …. they were told one set of things and given assurances by officials who reneged on promises, the women complained to The Ombudsan (PHSO) who (after extensive, lengthy investigation) adjudged that the officials were wrong in fact and lied / delayed / misled leading to the vaunted “set everything right” purported remit of The Ombudsman and DWP essentially said “you can’t make us do anything”

        – now those same DWP people are being indulged by Starmer et al…. now, If it were DWP civil servant pensions….

    I am sure we shall all be thrilled to hear that the BBC has taken over The Observer a foot stool of ‘The Guardian newspaper..

    ‘Lucy Rock, who is currently acting editor of The Observer, will do the job permanently at the Sunday newspaper. James Harding, the former BBC News chief who leads Tortoise, will become editor-in-chief.

    Meanwhile Guardian newspaper staff are still not happy as they were on strike, so we can expect a mad rush to get employed and retrained to be employed by the BBC in a ‘Senior’ role to carry on the great tradition that it is so famous for. (sic)

    TWatO Watch #1 – carefully note the order of contributions on this Gaza item

    The Montacutie was in charge of discussing Gaza and had the Palestinian contribution first, sorry cannot remember name. Then came an Israeli contribution from, I think, Daniel Kidner on the plight of the Hamas held hostages in Gaza. The Montacutie argued with Daniel and talked over him. Typical BBC treatment of Israelis! Daniel hit back with a few retorts of his own about the BBC’s presenters ‘cosy view’ of Palestine. I scored it the Montacutie 0 : 3 Daniel Kidner

    Today watch
    I thought I’d have an early dip into today .

    It’s funny when you know more background than the BBC lets on about the relationship of TTK and his gang to the true president . ..
    It seems TTK has sent his Marxist chief of staff to visit his trump opposite number . Yoy can imagine the reception . There was no invitation of the UK PM to the inauguration – and only a maybe visit in February – he ll probably have a 5 minute meeting in the kitchen .

    Let’s face it TTK and his crew are enemies of President Trump – the stuff the Marxists have said about him have been forgotten by the BBC …. together with the active support for the idiot karmela …..

    But we only get a ‘factual ‘ report from the BBC about all this .

    Suddenly the BBC has got interested in funding of political parties and there is panic that Elon might fund Reform . Both the reds and the blues are frightened . And it looks that the blues are trying to tell Elon why it’s a bad idea to fund Reform .

    Unlike the blues – Elon is pretty sharp and will show the blues the door pretty quickly . There won’t be a ‘picture ‘ of Elon and the blues meeting .

    Listening to all this stuff makes the bias of the BBC so obvious – but it’s there is the omission – which makes it really difficult to prove the ‘editorial spin ‘.

    Elsewhere more bad news from the Marxist government – interest rates not to be cut – water bills to go up 20% – council taxes to go up maybe 10% .

    ‘Today ‘ doesn’t sound a ‘happy place ‘ – it is finding it hard to cover for the dumb nasty decisions being made by Corbyn /starmer – there’s something every damn day .

    TTK spoke of ‘difficult decisions ‘ – but the decisions are really choices between – say – funding foreigners or providing winter fuel help for the old … that is an evil political choice – such as announcing £50 million for Syrian Muslim terrorists yesterday ….
    I didn’t think it would be quite this bad . Hopefully it will be far worse in 2025 – with a budget even worse than the last one ….

    What’s occurrin’? is the best known line from that BBC comic saga Gavin & Stacey, a concluding TV show ‘special’ being helpfully promoted by the celeb-obsessed giveaway adsheet Metro today.

    The freebie paper borrows that line, which ought – in a better world – to be tattooed, at some Barry Island body art kiosk, perhaps, onto the bingo wings of every member of the BBC staff gynaeceum so as to remind them of the job of journalism. To wit: “Who”, “what”, “when”, and “where”

    There will be headlines our BBC has missed but here’s the ones they noticed. And, you could have knocked me down with a feather… frontpage of the Guardian tops the BBC’s print press listings this morning.

    PM told to tighten rules on party donations amid fears over Musk (Guardian) – they liked that one.

    The Guardian also goes with ‘Senseless attack’ Man found guilty of murder on Bournemouth beach

    Man, eh? So that’ll be a killing we’re learning to term a ‘femincide’

    The Gruan demands we turn to page 10 for more details but our BBC provides the small print: The front page of the Guardian features an image of Amie Gray, who was murdered in an attack on Bournemouth beach earlier this year. “Senseless attack” is the accompanying headline, quoting a senior crown prosecutor, who said both Amie and Leanne Miles, who was seriously injured by the same man, Nasen Saadi, had been “chosen at random” by him. (BBC)

    Criminology student Nasen Saadi guilty of murder after stabbing woman 10 times on Bournemouth beach (Sky News) – criminology student? Makes a change from trainee architects, Welsh choir boys and budding footballers in the dock, I suppose.

    Of course, we’re left with rather scant detail as to motive. Mental disturbance would be the conclusion from the preferred headline: ‘Senseless attack’ whereas Sky hints at toxic masculinity: It can now be reported Saadi touched himself while in his prison cell ahead of the trial after he asked a female prison officer how much publicity the case was getting. Sarah Jones KC, prosecuting, had argued in court the jury should hear this account as it provided a possible motive for the attack but the judge ruled it was prejudicial so could not be used as evidence. (Sky) – touched himself? A touch of the ol’ Gregg Wallaces there?

    Sarah Jones KC, prosecuting… “Perhaps he just couldn’t bear to see people engaged in a happy, normal social interaction and he decided to lash out, to hurt, to butcher.” (Sky)

    No information as to Nasen Saadi’s immigration status is given in the Sky report

    As Guido noted last week, a festive tune criticising Keir Starmer over Labour’s winter fuel debacle is picking up a lot of fans. The track, by Sir Keir Starmer and The Granny Harmers, is called “Freezing this Christmas”…

    Now the BBC has been dragged into a row over its refusal to play the song, which is a contender for the Christmas charts. The song will hit the official charts on Friday, having reached 85 in the midweek table. It is already number one the EE Big Top 40 which measures downloads and streams on Apple Music…

    A BBC spokesperson said music track decisions are made “with the relevant audiences and context in mind”. In that case, it should be on BBC radio very soon…

    “Keir Starmer’s corruption minister and her family are probed over claims they took £4 billion in bribes for Putin-funded nuclear power plant.

    City minister Tulip Siddiq – who is responsible for stamping out corruption in Britain’s financial sector – is being investigated for the alleged embezzlement linked to a nuclear power plant deal in her native Bangladesh.

    The country’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) launched the probe into Ms Siddiq, her UK-based mother Sheikh Rehana Siddiq, and her aunt, Sheikh Hasina Wazed – the ousted former prime minister of Bangladesh who ruled the country with an iron fist for more than 15 years.

    Hasina fled Bangladesh to India in August with Rehana at her side after weeks of violent protests in which security forces killed hundreds of civilians.

    The investigation was launched after an order from the country’s High Court, which heard claims that Tulip Siddiq may have helped to ‘broker’ the nuclear deal, worth £10 billion in total.”

    Gisèle Pelicot’s ex-husband Dominique jailed for 20 years in mass rape trial
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cnv35lp14z9t

    The story even gets a ‘live update’ – for the repeated rape of one woman. The BBC are taking great delight in announcing the sentencing of each defendant in real time. And guess what : not a single ‘Mohammad’ to be seen.

    Contrast this with all the Muslim rape gang convictions where they are not even reported right up until the sentencing and then get one single article. The conviction of Mohamed Iidow just got a fairly short articles and some whopping lies by omission from the BBC.
    Man who raped and killed NHS worker is jailed

    Just ‘man’. Could be a whitey.

    What disgust me most about this story is how the BBC play down what he did. He orally raped this women so violently and repeatedly that she died of a heart attack. Just try to imagine what this animal was doing. It’s absolutely horrific and represents the very worst I can imagine for the BBC’s feminist obsession with misogyny. Yet they are silent about it. Where are the demands to change the law ?. The vigils ?. The outrage ?.

    This sums up the BBC and all the Leftist activists perfectly for me. They don’t care one bit what happened to that NHS worker. They are they very worst of double-standard hypocrites. They have no ethics and no shame. They only have their own politics which they want to force on the rest of us.

    Not sure if anyone linked the actual video for this so apologies if I’ve repeated it:

    What’s amusing is how everyone is reporting it except the BBC. These are the same people who ran stories to advertise insulting memes about Trump and Boris.

    There’s your bias right there.

      Lammy dismisses past criticism of Trump as ‘old news’

      In 2019, ahead of Trump’s state visit to the UK, Lammy also posted that the then-president was “deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic” and “no friend of Britain”.

      Pressed over whether he had changed his mind, Lammy said the remarks were “old news” and you would “struggle to find any politician” who had not said some “pretty ripe things” about Trump in the past.

      “In that period, particularly with people on Twitter, lots of things were said about Donald Trump,” he said.

      “I think that what you say as a backbencher and what you do wearing the real duty of public office are two different things.

      “And I am foreign secretary. There are things I know now that I didn’t know back then.”

    Top BBC story with huge megathread today.

    The BBC tend to have only minor coverage on quite a few gang rapes. Even ones in which children are the victims.

    But today, they seem to have got their act together at least. And the incidents within this terrible case took place abroad.

    Well, I imagine they’ll now be covering similar cases within our own country, many of which have child victims, with even most gusto now.

    They can easily find such cases within many northern old mill towns. They seem to be monthly or even weekly events.

    So I’m sure they’ll be right on this.

    I don’t know what caused this change in their reporting on gang rapes today, do you?

    It’s a mystery to me. I wonder why they’re covering this case with so much vigour compared to others?
