    I will just say defund the BBC – cancel your Telly Tax.

    The BBC is clearly biased, pro-Palestinian, pro-Labour Party so it makes sense if you have a TV Licence to cancel it.

      Don’t just cancel it, get your freinds, neighbours, relatives to cancel it too.
      And change the channel in the pub from the biased bbc to GB News or Talk TV. Anything

    Well first, do enjoy this site and the reality of the state of our mainstream media propaganda, specially the dreadful BBC.
    I fear for the future of our remarkable country, but remain ever hopeful things might change.

    Unfortunately I can’t entirely escape Red Nose Day as someone else in the house has it on. I have to say though that it’s not as bad as I feared. It is far worse.

        My issue with Red Nose Day and Children in Need is the abuse of the market and the laziness of the public. Neither above organisation is a charity in the normal sense. They have committees who distribute money against applications for funds. And they in effect take money away from charities who they do not favour. Meanwhile a sleepwalking public lazily give and feel good that they have done their bit.

        If you want to give to charities, decide who you want to support and give directly.
        Don’t leave the decision to BBC approved apparatchiks.

          And these bloated organisations are also splashed all over the media at the taxpayer’s expense when the Beeboid Collective gets its grubby hands on the cash.

          I do actually remember the first ever red nose day, as our girls were much younger, and they showed a frightening film which did touch a nerve, but now the PR, ‘influencers’ (whatever they are), thick politicians and of course the luvvies, who are after a pouting selfie in the thicker of the cheap rags, have hijacked the whole shebang!

          You’re spot on Sluffy! Choose a local charity which just gets on with its job quietly and efficiently, like the Local Hospice which cared for Senora O’Blene.

          One issue is that in leaving money in a will, (if there is any left after Rachel from stapler supplies has nicked it all), needs careful thought, as a chum on this site once mentioned the pitfalls of leaving a percentage of the residue of the estate to the larger charities, where my executors would get hounded daily by the numerous well-paid staff, for every penny they could squeeze out!

          But how does one plan for that?

    I’m guessing that no-one on this site is remotely surprised at the travesty of the latest Tommy Robinson court case…

    Yesterday there were a couple of naive people who appeared optimistic and said things like, “The judge seems to be sympathetic” and made similar daft observations. It was never going to go Tommy’s way. The judge is as fixed as the referee in a professional wrestling bout. These days our judiciary are as bent as corkscrews and Tommy is public enemy number one.

    At one time British justice was the envy of the world, but it’s now an international disgrace; a pariah. Thank God that Tommy has some very powerful friends, though not in this country.

    You know, the thing that really gets my goat is reading the sneering comments by smug-faced “journalists” like Piers Morgan. This creature maligned British troops fighting in Iraq and bugged the phone of a dead schoolgirl, but he has the temerity to pass judgement on Tommy.
    Morgan’s a repellent creature and I pray that one day soon he’ll get his comeuppance. It can’t come soon enough.

    Just looking at him gives me the shivers…

      No surprise really
      They illegally arrested him at the anti-Semitism rally
      They sprayed tear gas right in his face ..all their bodycam footage was lost turned off
      Then in court the judge ruled the arrest was illegal
      Yet no action was taken against police for the illegal teargassing
      no compensation for illegal detention etc.

      The video I saw said Tommy was there via video and just before proceedings started, they cut his sound feed off so he could not say anything.

      Then the Judge ordered his lawyer to phone him to clarify something. Halfway through their conversation, their call was cut off.

      Then Tommy held a card up where he had written ‘we were cut off’ to tell the court.

      My immediate thought was why didn’t his lawyer kick up a stink about it earlier ?. Why leave it to Tommy ?.

      His treatment makes me ashamed of my country and disgusted at the likes of the BBC who don’t care one bit what they do to him because he is ‘far-right’. Tp the Left, he has no human rights at all. He is untermensch (what the Nazis called scum who they viewed the same as they view rats). This is what the Left are REALLY like when you pull off their mask of hypocrisy.

    Have you ever wondered why supermarket car parks have studded crossing points so blind people know where to cross the roads…….presumably to get to their cars???!!!

    On the ultra woke, diversity obsessed BBC, the Heathrow closure story today is covered by Sean Dilley. Who is blind !!!!! And I note keen to go on X to mention failings of services to blind people, in the style of the activist.

    Truly the BBC are taking the p*** out of ordinary sighted people. A person who cannot drive or see the roads is the BBC transport correspondent FFS. Unbelievable. What next? Nikki Fox reports on Mount Everest expeditions. She is wheelchair bound. But presumably knows a lot about climbing. In the BBC parallel universe.

        Having a friend who watches breakfast tv (but scathing of GBNews), messaged our Wattsap group to say an item on probably BBC said we should get rid of hot water bottles when they are 3 years old because they are dangerous. Well I looked at the ‘flowers’ and admitted that perhaps the ones for 2006 should be replaced. But the new ones I had bought previously were already a year old when I bought them . People at the BBC on high salaries and influenced by press releases just encourage waste and frivolous spending (what about the environment?).

        When I used to watch BBC cooking programmes recipes always used free range eggs (do they really taste very different in a chocolate cake? Just more spending recommended by the highly paid media to prove their woke credentials.

    Today
    I thought I’d dip in the see how the Heathrow thing is getting on … they interviewed another quango creep called Toby Harris – apparently a peer – he is in charge of some ‘infra structure ‘ commission .
    That’s another quango that failed to ensure Heathrow would work .
    Toby wasn’t asked whether he had failed – or whether he considered resigning –
    Maybe the media should do a report about where responsibility for ensuring key infrastructure lies . I know there is a ‘civil contingency ‘ outfit in the cabinet office – where were they ?
    This story will be gone by Monday . Until the next time .

    But its failing state – third world britainistan – what shouid be expected ?

        I suspect checking on the power or water or communications for airports is somewhat below their status – add to that their chums being on the board of big outfits and we land up ( no pun ) with a stupid shambols like Heathrow. Maybe they receive funds from Russian ‘friendship ‘ groups too .

            Blame Barry gardiner …. And talking of blame – the ‘transport Secretary ‘ has gone for the lessons to be learnt – off for the weekend – line …..

            It’s comforting for those stranded to know there is no compensation apart from reasonable accommodation /expenses …
            A personal tale . I was due to fly BA – I got to Gatwick and the flight cancelled at checkin – no crew – there is no customer service other than an Indian call centre – i identified a replacement flight – this was also cancelled about 4 hours before it was due – no crew – I made it out a day later at Heathrow – with a hugely overcrowded business lounge with a queue to get it –

            Anyway – I started the compensation process – 2 x £350 plus expenses . No says BA . So I try again – they couldn’t understand 2 flights being cancelled . No money . So I wrote a snotty one about CAA and small claims court – no reply
            Last week – roughly 6 months after the event – up turns the compensation – plus a modest ‘flight credit ‘.
            Lesson – never give up .

      Mind you, it was a very clever way to punish us for what the Fuhrer is up to at the moment with his EU counterparts if they did. Maximum disruption and nobody died.

    Chaos and anger as fire shuts Heathrow airport – frets the Guardian, sending the title flying high to the top of the BBC online print press line-up.

    Mr AsI rather admires the punning Sun with their headline: Fawlty Powers… Substation blaze… Britain humiliated…

    And sure enough, the foreign press do take an interest in this extraordinary event: London’s Heathrow Airport back to life as first flight touches down after 18-hour shutdown (Times of India) – touches down, mind you. Interest on the sub-continent is less focused on reporting the first flight to take off from Britain.

    This is a real cause for concern for our politicians. Afterall, how many times have you heard a minister… Labour, Tory or Mayor of London… insist Britain needs to be seen to be “OPEN” to the world.

    Let’s not forget Britain remained open to arrivals from all-comers even at the very moment they told us there was a global pandemic and a serious form of compulsory quarantine was about to be the order of the day.

    If only we had a currently sitting, judge-led, well funded, officially constituted, public inquiry that could look into all that… instead of busying itself chucking a few more brickbats at the Aunt Sally low-hanging fruit that is Matt Hancock: Matt Hancock sports a new look as he leaves Covid-19 inquiry after defending ‘VIP lane’ contracts… looked almost unrecognisable… The former health secretary, 46, looked vastly different from his days in the jungle on I’m A Celeb in 2022, which saw him cut a lean figure and longer hair.

    Today Mr Hancock donned a sleek navy blue suit and satin pink tie as he gave evidence to the inquiry’s fifth module, which is exploring pandemic procurement. (Daily Mail) – pandemic precurement? Ask the Chinese, they make those things over there (allegedly)

    If only we had a… But we digress.

    Open tends to be the regime’s watchword

    UK must keep trade open and EU close in fragmenting world, Bank of England’s Bailey says (Reuters, November 24); UK leaves door open to joining EU trading scheme (BBC, January 25); Sadiq Khan gives taxpayer cash to campaigners who want a world without borders… £500,000 of taxpayers’ money to Civil Futures (Telegraph, January 25); Britain Open For Business: The Next Phase… Britian is firmly and clearly open for business… David Cameron (HM Goverment circa 2014)

    Open All Hours was a British television sitcom created and written by Roy Clarke for the BBC. The show featured the much-loved comic actor Ronnie Barker as probably the last ever white small corner shop proprietor in Britain.

    One suspects our BBC and the Gruan have a secret statutory obligation to play keepy-uppy with certain long-running news stories… on the flimsiest of pretexts…

    Lawrence killer’s admission could lead to breakthrough (Guardian); Lawrence killer admits role in attack – Parole Board (BBC)

    Are parole board hearings usually heard in public?

    Might not press speculation prior to the hearing run the risk of prejudicing a decision?

    Stephen’s family wanted the hearing to be heard in public. (BBC) – Oh, well, that’s alright then.

    Gurning contests are a rural English tradition. They are held regularly in some villages, with contestants traditionally framing their faces through a horse collar — known as “gurnin’ through a braffin”

    Meanwhile, Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband is pictured frontpage of the Telegraph wearing a brand new pristine hi-viz jacket over a suit and tie – something only politicians anxious for a photo-op ever do. Aside from the ugly mug, the one hand leaning on what one takes to be a heat pump, the other hand on the hip in the I’m a little teapot pose, plus one leg cocked in a semi Long John Silver impression – didn’t help represent the seriousness of the situation: Colossal failure of Heathrow blackout… Miliband admits site looks ‘vulnerable’

    Take away the smart tailored suit (Lord Alli funded, we wonder?) and our Ed looks the absolute poster boy for the modern term ‘vulnerable’ person. Or village idiot – as we used to say.

    Despite… Basil Fawlty’s best advice – we can’t let a week go by without some mentions of the war…

    Britain must not abandon our last WW2 heroes (Daily Express); Prince William sends strong message from tank near Russian border (BBC); William joins trench warfare exercise (Telegraph); A good week for fascism Patrick Cockburn (i paper)

    OK, ok, one mention and you might have got away with it.

    One seriously wonders how on earth we could ever really cope with an actual real-life non-proxy attack on Britain these days…? We seem hardly prepared for an actual Blitz.

    Man arrested after explosive chemicals found… “a threat to life” were found at a property in an East Sussex town, police said… Residents within a 100-metre cordon around the address on the A259 Marina in St Leonards were evacuated following the discovery of the chemicals on Thursday, prompting Sussex Police to declare a major incident. (BBC)

    Police then unravelled a hundred-mile-long stretch of blue and white plastic tape (obviously purchased in a massive job lot – if only we had had some currently sitting… that could investigate that procurement contract) and spent the next 24 hours measuring their own skid marks.

    …the property had been “made safe”, but the cordon would remain in place overnight, leaving residents out of their homes for a second night. (BBC)

    I’m guessing the cops would say you can’t go dicing with the ricin.

    Let’s bow out with some real news – something we haven’t heard before… just as we thought there was no such thing as a manly man anymore…

    I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but there’s an appalling news item that’s running along the bottom of the screen on GB News. It’s about a rape. No names, no pack drill.

    Three boys, aged 13, 14 and 15 have been charged with raping a girl under the age of 16…all in the Rochdale area.
    Now, I’m not sure if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, but…

    I’ve no doubt that we’re in for a lot more finger wagging and lecturing about misogyny, online hate, Andrew Tate (no frigging idea…) and the desperate need for decent male role models.

    And in about a year’s time, if they get around to making a TV series about this horrific crime, I’m certain the three young actors playing the villains will be called something like Roger, John and Bill, while the girl will likely be Asian.

    Oh, and the detectives that catch them will be called Mohamed and Ahmed.

    We all know why the legacy media on both sides of the Atlantic are downplaying the Musk achievement of bringing home the astronauts and also why they are trivialising the waste identified by DOGE. Equally we understand that they will concede nothing to Trump …. Feeding the 5000 would go unremarked upon. But why are they so intent on convincing us that the release of the JFK files are, to use an Americanism, a nothing burger?
    I think it’s because they fear that as the truth trickles out about JFK, MLK and RFK , the public will become increasingly certain that the authorities have participated in gigantic decades long cover ups in all three cases . They will know that the authorities have lied time and again to them over these three cases and it isn’t a very big leap to becoming highly suspicious about every official narrative that is spun by the legacy media , Ukraine, Covid , Climate catastrophe etc. All of which are critical to the continued advance of Globalism.
    The credibility of governments and media is already low these revelations will do even more damage and so the legacy media are trying to deflect the public from these released files by lying about their impact on the official narratives.

    I keep seeing newspaper articles saying we are on the brink of WW3 or will be at war with Russia, things like that.

    Apart from the fact that we don’t really have much in the way of HM Forces now and have given all our weapons to Ukraine why would Putin even bother with us.

    Our nukes don’t work either.

    If Putin wanted to take over the UK he should just wait because our leaders are more or less doing the job for him.
    Everything is falling to bits and the indigenous Brits are being replaced, probably in the minority by the 2050’s.

    Maybe get Davina McCall to run the UK. Since she’s had her brain removed in her recent op she could hardly do a worse job of it.

    Has anyone heard any commentator on TV bring up the Heathrow backup system which is being run on wood pellets and takes ages to get up to working levels as opposed to kicking In immediately when there’s a power outage as (I assume) grown up Countries Airports use.

    This has nothing to do with the BBC. Other than the fact

    As well as philogynist as well as the opposite misogynist
    problems.
    BUT for a first OPERA to see . Even if you think that
    opera is an anathema. TURANDOT is the one to see. Most
    of you will of heard ” Nessun Dorma.” But Turandot is
    not just ” None shall sleep” It is a spectacular musical.
    It’s on at cinemas all over the country on the 1st of April.
    with a direct relay from Covent Garden. Where it would cost
    you up to £300 for a ticket. At around £15 at the cinema .
    I promise you will get goose pimples.
    My wife does not like opera. BUT she loves Turandot !
    I took her to see it on our second date in 1964. And we
    have been married for 56 years now.
    Turandot was Puccini’s final opera.

    Oh yeah…Andrew Tate? He’s a Muslim and the things he says about women [as quoted on Woman’s Hour] are the same things the BBC tells children in its Bitesize articles that Muslims believe about women and how to treat them….but somehow the BBC isn’t ‘toxic’ but Tate is.

    Fear and loathing with absolutely no academic intent Sunday edition

    Fear and anger mount as ‘battle for the soul of Romanian democracy’ looms – frets our British Broadcasting Corporation, in the guise of Sarah Rainsford, Eastern Europe correspondent.

    Our Sarah may not be exactly a Hunter S. Thompson – despite her headline channelling his Fear and Loathing… in Las Vegas, vibe.

    Nevertheless, she’s going right in there two lines into her report – on a far-away country of which we know little – with the all too familiar old BBC fear and loathing for… wait for it… :…a fair few voters who wanted a far-right candidate to become president.

    I think we can guess where this article is going…

    Calin Georgescu – who admires Vladimir Putin and is no fan of Nato – came from the extremist fringe to win the first round of Romania’s presidential election with 23% of the vote. – oh, the humanity!

    Who will save us? Can Commissioner Gordon of Gotham City PD get on the Bat Phone? Will the emergency call be picked up at the Bruce Wayne mansion, perhaps?

    Then the constitutional court scrapped the entire election in an unprecedented move, citing intelligence that Georgescu’s online campaign had been boosted by Russia… A new ballot will be held in May but Georgescu has been barred from participating. (BBC) – Ah our super hero caped and bewigged crusaders!

    Better Call Saul was an American legal crime drama television series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould… an aspiring lawyer and former con artist who becomes the egocentric criminal-defense attorney Saul Goodman.

    KAPOW! KAYO! KER-SPLOOSH! KERPLOP! KLONK! KLUNK! KRUNCH! OOOFF!

    Yes, OK, I can guess lawyers in Romania’s constitutional court probably don’t follow British judicial dress codes. I doubt our very own beaks and briefs will bother with horsehair wigs and gowns for much longer.

    Our Sarah does a vox pop and elicits a populist protest: “They should have let him run to see what happens”

    The root of the problem over there seems to be economic and a case of the unfufilled promises made by post-cold war liberal politicians: “They tricked us. They promised us more pension money… Young people finish college here and can’t get work, so they go abroad” – We know how you feel, luv.

    Our Sarah soon goes on to fret about: a surge in anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic rhetoric – still, look on the bright side…

    Romania only decriminalised homosexuality in 2001.

    Never mind the poverty, feel the Pride Parade.

    So, about these poor young Romanians deserting their homeland…?

    Revealed: the giant fraud in student loans… Sham students enrol simply to access funds… fraudulently claiming hundreds of millions of pounds from Britain’s university loans system… people with “absolutely no academic intent”… cannot speak adequate English… enrolling on degree courses every year to take out a loan with “no intention of paying it back”… At some universities with franchised providers between 35 per cent and 55 per cent of applicants last year were Romanian… The UK’s student loan debt, which is underwritten by the tax-payer, has ballooned to £236 billion… (Sunday Times)

    Teachers are set to debate a motion accusing ‘far-Right and racist organisations, including Reform’ of scapegoating refugees, asylum seekers, Muslims and Jews.

    The NEU’s leader Daniel Kebede has called the UK ‘a brutally racist state’ and dubbed the education system ‘institutionally racist’. He even called the national curriculum ‘a Little England, white saviour narrative’.

    Concerns were also raised last night that the NEU was disregarding the legal duty on teachers to maintain political impartiality in their teaching.”

    R4 used to do a basic news report at 0530 every day – obviously laced with ‘the propaganda message ‘ but as basic as it gets all day – followed by a ‘review of the papers ‘ – again tainted by omission and ‘the message ‘.

    Anyway – it announced this Sunday morning that from Monday the format is changing – it is being ‘replaced ‘ – im sure the Muslim call to prayer and propaganda for the day from moaning sidiqui will be in there now …. Inshala …

    .. they used to place jaunty national tunes but that got done away with by a kidult progressive ….

    Trump envoy dismisses Starmer plan for Ukraine
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62zm4eqvp7o

    lol – the BBC are in full bottom-lip out, nit-picking negative mode for Trump now. This article could not be more negative if it tried.

    They didn’t like this at all:
    ‘Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as “a posture and a pose” by Donald Trump’s special envoy.’
    ‘Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a “simplistic” notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking “we have all got to be like Winston Churchill”.’

    Whereas I think it’s right on the button.

    Then we get:
    ‘In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “liked” the Russian president.’

    How many time have you ever seen the BBC tell us specifically when anybody is pro-Democrat and infer what they say is biased ?. Never. Not for CNN, MSN, ABC. Never for the judges trying to prevent Trumps policies being carried out. Yet they regularly point out any pro-Trump bias. It’s pathetic schoolboy stuff.

    My favourite bit was this:
    ‘Witkoff made several assertions that are either not true or disputed:’
    James (of the BBC) then lists 3 examples. All of which are just disputed (by pro Ukrainian people). Seems the ‘lies’ bit was a lie by the BBC instead.

    Then for no reason whatsoever we get:
    ‘Ahead of that, Ukrainian authorities said Russia had launched drone attacks on Kyiv overnight, resulting in deaths of three people, including a five-year-old child.’
    What about the Ukranian drone attacks BBC ?. They have been SPECIFICALLY targetting residential areas.

    Another absolute pile of dog poo from the BBC which is so lopsided, it is of no ‘news’ value whatsosever. It’s pure propaganda.

    Well done James Landale. Another BBC writer regularly infesting the far-Left MSN. You get todays ‘BBC extreme-Left lying tw@t of the day award’.

      Agreed. That mention of Pro-Trump journalist by tells you everything you need to know about about the Bbc
      Steve Witkoff is spot in and we all know it. Next week will the bbc have a pro- Rachel from accounts journalist on to tell us our crashing economy is all Trumps fault.

      Quite why the BBC haven’t found a drag queen to diss Trump is a mystery?

    No proper football on at the moment just meaningless international friendlies and mickey-mouse tournaments so the bbbc bring out their big guns.

    BBC1 today live at 2 to nearly 5, Man City play Chelsea. Ladies.

    No family friendly movie, no classic black and white, no biblical epic. Womens football for nearly 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon. Day of rest? Give it a rest bbbc.

    Any viewing figures going to be given for this? Viewing figures made up of family and friends, all of whom, male and female, sit down to pee, and snoozing post pint and pub-lunch parents with the tv providing background noise to their doze.

    Nearly 5 years licence free for me, the bbbc is worth every penny.

    Remember: Most of London do not have a TV Licence.

    Go on line, declare you don’t need to TV Licence. And that’s it.
    So easy. Spend your money on something you want.

      Most of London doesn’t speak English either. I have yet to hear a reasoned argument why I should pay the BBC to watch any other channel.

        London Street Outside Israeli Embassy Renamed to ‘Genocide Avenue’
        Story Code : 1125325
        https://www.islamtimes.com/en/news/1125325/london-street-outside-israeli-embassy-renamed-to-genocide-avenue

        The renaming coincides with Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, updating the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on the Gaza situation, stating that “there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met” in relation to Gaza.

        This street renaming follows the International Court of Justice’s statement two months ago, indicating “plausible” grounds to suspect Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza.

        The UK is full of things which we conspicuously never get a reasoned argument about.

        Why we don’t just take the boats back to France is one of them.

        BBC Verify tried. They said we had to ask the French if we could do it first, otherwise it would be an act of war.

        Willfully allowing them to cross and invade our country whilst taking our money to pretend to stop them is close enough to an act of war to cancel it out IMHO.

        Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the Commons that the BBC’s “shocking report” contained the “breath-taking” disclosure of free French public bus services being used to ferry migrants from camps to Dunkirk beaches.

        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-63229010

        ….

        Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?
