    Fed that was a sneaky early bird new thread. Five weeks now before phase two of Storm Rachel (Brian Monteith in the DT) starts to bite. Will the bBC be yet again surprised when economic data does not fit with their narrative?

    bBC still chosing to ignore the visit you get from the Greater Manchester Police if you choae to criticise your local Labour councillor. Perhaps the UK should be redesignated as the BDR.

    In the lecture, Rand admonishes American businessmen for apologizing for capitalism and for, in some cases, directly funding detractors of the free market. Notably, she says that “It is a moral crime to give money to support your own destroyers.” She also answers audience questions after the lecture.

    “It is a moral crime to give money to support your own destroyers.”

    ‘ ‘7 October was the day Gazans broke out of their dismal prison and exacted terrible revenge. When Israelis, soldiers and civilians alike found themselves on the receiving end of a red mist of pent-up rage.’ ‘ BBC

    ‘The BBC’s errors on the Gaza war….pointing to serious institutional failures and groupthink.

    For me, the clearest example of this also emerged this week following Hamas’s handover of four coffins containing dead hostages. Two of these contained the remains of tiny children who were stolen from their home (one was meant to contain the body of their mother, Shiri Bibas, but in Hamas’s sickest stunt yet, it contained a different body). During this grim ceremony, behind the coffins was a grotesque cartoon of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu depicting him as Dracula. To the side were various slogans about ‘Nazi Zionists’, how Hamas wants the war to continue, and some of its own facts and figures about the war’s impact. Yet this is how the BBC’s diplomatic editor Paul Adams described it in his report for the BBC: ‘Once again, there was a stage, flanked by huge posters highlighting the catastrophic consequences of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and the Palestinian determination to stay put.’

    Why did he miss the Netanyahu cartoon with all its Nazi-esque anti-Semitism? The clue, perhaps, might be found in a post on X he wrote the day after Hamas’s 7 October massacre, which gives the lie to the idea that the BBC’s reporters have any degree of neutrality on this war: ‘7 October was the day Gazans broke out of their dismal prison and exacted terrible revenge. When Israelis, soldiers and civilians alike found themselves on the receiving end of a red mist of pent-up rage.’ ‘

    This was of course the narrative of the toxically anti-Semitic BBC series ‘The Honourable Woman’ in which Israel was cast as the problem whilst the poor little Palestinians were ‘forced’ into terrorism by the horrors of Israeli oppression…they had no choice and no other way of living their lives…such as choosing not to terrorise the Israelis and instead spend their time and money building their own state…into the , er , Riviera of the Middle East perhaps.
    …and the ‘Honourable woman’s solution?….knock down those border walls and make it all one big happy state with no Israel….ie just outright Hamas propaganda.

      The BBC don’t seem bothered at all that Hamas murdered those young boys and their mother with their bare hands in cold blood then later mutilated their corpses to make it look like Israel did it.

      These events give us a glimpse at what the BBC are REALLY like when you strip away all the virtue-signalling, hypocrisy and fake empathy.

    ‘The desecration of our country continues…’

    And at the heart of it is our national broadcaster which teaches people to hate this country’s culture, beliefs, values and history…not to mention the ‘native population’ which is too white and guilty as such….we must get rid of ‘whiteness’ and replace it by importing a whole new population.

    Zelensky willing to give up presidency in exchange for Nato membership
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn9vx01evp9o

    Sometimes I read a BBC article and wonder if I woke up in some parallel universe.

    The BBC are reporting everything Zelensky says as credible fact when more often than not it’s complete nonsense. The headline for example : Ukraine joining NATO is the whole reason this war started. Yet the BBC have written it like it could be given in exchange for Zelensky stepping down. It’s such complete nonsense I don’t know what to say about it.

    And purely to try and prove Trump wrong, they write :
    ‘”I wasn’t offended [by the comment], but a dictator would be,” Zelensky, who was democratically elected in May 2019, responded on Sunday.’

    More nonsense ! – The one who is NOT a dictator is the one who would be offended by being called one – not the one who is.

    And ‘democratically elected in May 2019’ is pure spite to say the opposite of what Trump said and completely misses the point : his term expired last year and he is now ruling under the dictatorial powers of martial law with no intent of running any new elections.

    What a farce. Did the BBC idiot deliberately write this rubbish or did they just put another DEI clone on it who has no clue what she is writing about ?.

    You decide :

    Lucy describes herself as a ‘freelance travel writer’ and her muckrack credits include (you guessed it): Yahoo, MSN, Sunday Mirror and the Daily Mirror. Now at the BBC she is writing about global politics and war.

    Sorry if already mentioned ,

    But this “Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace prize ” !

    Does he really ? How do the likes of the BBC know ? Has anyone asked him ?

    I wouldn`t be the least surprised if he had never given it a thought . Trump is suspicious of international bodies and the Nobel committee is Gramscian infested .

      Bowen said the same thing in one of his articles. Clearly it’s part of ‘BBC Groupthink’ now.

      Trump should have won it for his last term for what he did in the Middle East and if he does something which warrants winning it – then what’s wrong with that anyway ?.

      The simple fact is that the BBC hate the thought of Trump being given credit for anything. They despise him like they despise Farage and Musk.

      They fail to mention of course that Obama won it for simply being black. You can be sure plenty of Leftist-style corruption went on behind the scenes for that.
