Near the end of His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus issued this stark warning to His listeners: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15).

We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

Last night I caught a GBnews ticker about Scunthorpe steelworks
And started looking things up.
“JINGYE the Chinese owner of British Steel has rejected a £500m state rescue package in a move which raises fresh doubts about thousands of steel jobs”
I posted “Hopefully it’s just rhetoric to get more money ”
I saw that MSM appeared not to understand how serious the situation is.
Even local BBC local radio the next day at 7am this morning put the item at the end of the news.
I caught tv news
And they had caught up
Reporting that by June the UK could no longer have a capability to make virgin steel
That would mean UK couldn’t make the weapons and tech that is made from it.
We can build warships in China for one whole dorrah!
“Chinese steel is cheaper because the Chinese government runs a managed economy. In that managed economy labour rates for the same skills are lower than in the west. But also other inputs are held artificially low, so power is cheaper, metallurgical coal is cheaper and many other things are cheaper.24 Dec 2015”
I mean I caught TV news at 3pm and they’d caught up.
IT’s crazy when Starmer talks about increasing UK MILITARY resources
so not to reply on America
yet Starmer then deprives the UK of the ability to make MILITARY grade steel
(which can only be made from virgin steel, not recycled scarp)
One might think Farage might use a very long handled spoon to sup with Starmer – seems not?…..
“The Reform UK leader said he’d never supported Robinson and Musk “tried to push me a bit”.
“You know what, you can’t bully me,” Farage said. “I’ve got principles and I stand by them.””

Nigel Farage’s anti-migrant poster reported to police
This article is more than 8 years old
Unison’s Dave Prentis said poster showing a queue of migrants and refugees incites racial hatred
On Thursday night Dave Prentis, of the Unison union, said he had written to the Metropolitan police about the poster, which shows a queue of mostly non-white migrants and refugees with the slogan “Breaking point: the EU has failed us all.”
………….
Dave Prentis re-elected to lead Unison amid allegations of malpractice
Allegations of widespread malpractice came after his supporters were caught breaking union election rules on tape.
Bearing false witness is a sin
.. yet Farage and the establishment are vearing false witness against TR
Calling him a “racist” when he is and always has been a million miles from that. Having grown up with black people and immigrants
Then they go further and pile on power smear word labels like “far right”;, nazi and “fascist”
Did I really hear Farage describe TTK as a nice chap . Did someone drug Farage ? Was he bunged ? Ironic that the electorate still have a positive image of him after he sold them out ……
Does Farage still own reform plc ?
I expect he is a nice chap if you talk to him at a dinner party.
Apparently Himmler – despite ordering others to murder millions of Jews – almost fainted when a tiny speck of flesh landed on him when they witnessed some kind of mass execution.
I expect he was a nice chap at parties too.
I wonder whether Charles Windsor will be praying to the false god Allah as opposed to the True God – our Lord Jesus Christ . ? A few suitcases of Saudi money was probably enough to buy him ….
The woke William one could have a summer coronation which could be nice for the tourists …
Our entire establishment is fiddling while Rome burns.
By the time they realise what they have done, it will be far far too late. The barbarians are already among us and waiting for instructions from their leaders.
Starmer accuses Putin of ‘playing games’ over Ukraine peace deal
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78e2x7lz25o
I never thought Russia/Ukraine would lead to WW3 but now I’m starting to get really worried what the EU is planning.
Firstly, not a chance they are going to unfreeze finanacial assets. They are already factoring them into budgets. For example, we recently gave Ukraine a huge sum of cash from a bank loan being paid by interest on frozen Russian assets. If those are given back, I will assume the entire amount will go onto OUR national debt – not Ukraines.
But what is alarming is the sudden shift by the EU from keeping the war going to being the ones demanding peace. And even before those demands started, they have planned to be the ‘peacekeepers’ in Ukraine.
After what Macron said the other day, it now looks like the plan is to get EU troops into Ukraine as ‘peacekeepers’, manufacture some military incidents then invoke NATO to come and defend our people. Hitler did the same to justify starting his war – it’s just history repeating itself.
I wonder if the USA would be part of such a force. I have a feeling the EU are depending on it.
Sources have confirmed that Zelensky has been out of action for a few days.
It’s been reported that he is actively supporting the Snow White dwarves’ protests outside cinemas, whilst taking the opportunity to stock up on green Primark sweatshirts (11 – 12 yr size).
Funnily enough, Mayor Khan has also been out of the news this last couple of days.
Hi Ho.
They are ‘magical people’.
The tiny people don’t like being called dwarves any more. Even though they officially have ‘dwarfism’. No doubt we will be changing that name just like we renamed monkey-pox because most people who get it are black Africans and they didn’t like it either.
Report for retraining immediately.
Mea culpa.
I will refrain from commenting any further on reports of Zelensky in the company of 7 PORGS ( persons of restricted growth) outside the Odeon, Leicester Square, staggering around and clutching a half empty bottle of Schnapps and singing “Someday my Prince Will Come.”
Here is an actual photo of Zelensky when he met Ursula von der Leyen at the EU last week.
Tinfoil hat time:

Poor cow – definitely wringing the empathy and whingeing about someone better at the job than she is!
Go MTG!
‘I was told by MAGA attack dog Marjorie Taylor Greene to ‘go back to your own country’ because I am British – here’s what it reveals about Trump’s White House’
It reveals far more about about the state of you and the bias of British media if that’s what someone elected to congress thinks dear.
Even her headline is pumped with spite at the Right.
She’s globalist filth. The way she pronounces ‘TrumPPPPPPP’ like she’s spitting out something distasteful.
Dismantled the same way Jordan Peterson did to that other C4 harpie.
Rosenberg: Putin nods to Trump plans to seize Greenland
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7432451el7o
Another from the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg in Russia who has embarassed himself several times which I commented on here and now the man seems to be turning into another Jeremy Bowen where he reports the news as he wants to interpret it as opposed to what really happened.
I wonder if he is cracking under the pressure from BBC management to paint Trump and Putin as devils.
I also notice that colonialism (ie Greenland being a colony of Denmark) seems to be absolutely fine and something to be protected when it suits the hypocrite Left.
BBC news leading with their emir going into hospital for a cancer thing . Now that he has converted they’ll go big on the empathy – all the mosques will have special prayers for their leader today …..
His mother was a big fan of headscarfs, and his younger brother seems to be quite keen on their national sport involving school age girls, just saying.
And that “Coronation Chicken,” distinct flavour of curry there… the evidence is mounting up.
Will any of the King’s Guards break rank and admit they had to dress up and “dance” for the elder men ?
Fed, no Charlie hasn’t ‘converted’. He was pictured, with the so-called Queen, downing glasses of Irish whisky. In addition the King has launched his own audio channel of popular music. Both popular music and alcohol are considered haram under Islam.
Fed, another reason that King Charles is not a Muslim convert – the KIng is clean shaven, he hasn’t grown a beard!
Greenland? As Trump views everything as a ‘Commercial Transaction’ should not Denmark be advised to approach the Chinese for protection and/or mining arrangement………..
After all, it would be fair for Denmark to obtain the best terms ………. Thinking commercially of course.
I’ve been to Denmark a few times in the past. In Copenhagen it was a regular sight to see native Greenlanders begging in the streets.
Greenland could be the new ideal home for ‘refugees’
Punt them straight there, the boats would stop overnight.

Having largely dumped the BBC – I look on YouTube for ‘stuff’ today there is a 45 minute interview with some of the DOGE team – the guys / chaps – about 9 of them sit before the fox interviewer – who introduces them .
They look pretty normal – no horns or tails – one is introduced as the founder / CEO of airBNB …. It’s that calibre of business man saving the US money ….
It’s a great watch and the comments are 100% favourable .
It reminded me of my ‘ surely doctrine ‘ which I’ve mentioned before here – as in – work for a big organisation – wonder why something does not work – find a remedy and find oneself saying ‘surely someone should have seen this / found this / stopped this before ….
DOGE is finding this all over the federal system and luckily has the power to stop / change it .
Btw – Elon was asked about the attacks on teslas – and hoped that the Feds would go after the organisers …
The irrational attacks of electric cars by Marxists / democrats sum the Obama Biden party up completely …
It could never happen here ….
The rantzen family has said that esther is no longer responding medication . I just hope that when she checks out it won’t give more energy to the ‘let’s help to kill ‘ bill …
Random mass stabbings are so frequent now that they are failing even to get the flowers and candles treatment – the 4 stabbed in Amsterdam on Thursday ? Who cares ? And I understand there was something in Germany on Wednesday – who cares ?
The usual ritual is being played out by plod on the Dutch attack – suspect not identified – motive not given – silence ….
Then of course – when it’s a white male in any Leftist/feminist target-group we get night time vigils, multiple front-page headlines steeped with buckets of empathy on the BBC front page for a whole week and demands to change the law to protect all women from such scum.
The Left have double-standards on a truly epic scale.

Last one to leave – remember to turn off the blast furnace edition
The Times newspaper, back in days of yore, may once once have been regarded as the paper of record – but now it could benefit from the odd editorial correction.
One in four Britons claim they have a disability (Times)
Your Mr AsI of course considers Lockdowns demoralised the British workforce.
A quarter of Britons say they are disabled, with two million more people than before the pandemic saying they struggle to function because of poor mental health (Chris Smith, Whitehall editor, Times)
Well, Tony Gallagher, editor of the Times, let me give you a quick factcheck-style editing hint… gratis…
A quarter of Britons say they are disabled, with two million more people than before the
pandemicLOCKDOWN (which was a governmental policy choice) saying they struggle to function because of poor mental healthFeigning poor mental health, let’s remember, has the incentive that it can be the key to unlock the full largess of the benefits system.
Gosh, I wonder what could have given us all the odd notion that feeling a little bit under the weather was sufficient justification to give up going to work and for the State to step in and quarantine us at home indefinately… on full pay?
Making Plans for Nigel
Men make sacrifices many women don’t for top jobs, Farage says – a BBC hit piece – in the style of that old school playground chant “Ummm… you said a bad word. I’m tellin’ Miss on you!” – by BBC tell-tale tits Alex Forsyth, Political correspondent & Joshua Nevett, Political reporter.
A YouGov poll in January, indicated 30% of men and 19% of women would vote for the party in a hypothetical general election… Farage faced a question about what he planned to do to appeal to female voters. (BBC) – not a problem – 50% of the population are blokes – a winning margin – let the women split their vote between wet Tories, Labour, LibDems and Greens.
We’re only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in our British Steel
Thank you New Wave band XTC, the English rock band formed in Swindon in 1972.
Sometimes these segueways will write themselves…
Steel plant closure plan puts 2,700 jobs at risk… British Steel plans to close its two blast furnaces… The company owned by China’s Jingye… – frets the Guardian, taking a sudden uncharactistic interest in that rather Hunnish realm of heavy industry – antithetical to the usual Guardianista interest.

Meanwhile, as the smart money flees abroad – they go after the sitting ducks: Chancellor plotting tax grab on savers… money directly from pay packets… more personal information from banks (Telegraph)
Our PM, perhaps bored with the state of the economy – leaves such work-a-day (shirk-a-day?) matters in the capable hands of Rachel from accounts and concentrates his lawyerly expertise in the realm of foreign affairs.
Starmer accuses Putin of ‘playing games’ over Ukraine peace deal (BBC)
Really? That guy ain’t playing playground games: Moscow pushes on as Ukraine withdraws to avoid encirclement in the Kursk region, Russia seizes the initiative on multiple fronts (Meduza – by the way ‘Meduza has condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine from the very start, and our detailed military analyses are part of our commitment to objective reporting on a war we firmly oppose.’)
Here’s the real childish game players: Starmer and Macron’s Ukraine gamble… Russia warns of bloodbath as UK and France order in military… without Trump’s blessing (giveaway Metro)

Sometimes an irresistable segueway demands a postscript…
Our mate Matt in the Telegraph sketches a comic pair of sewerage workers standing beside a waste pipe splurging its dubious contents into some clean waterway: “I used to work at the Treasury, but I couldn’t stomach all the unpleasantness we had to dump on the public”
I wonder how long it is going to be before there is a real clash between the US / president trump – and the far left EU TTK . I
I wonder what form it will take ?
President Trump doesn’t have to be nice to European regimes because he knows they mostly will always hate him – along with their media – so he and his cabinet need not be too diplomatic about the likes of TTK and helga at the EU and the rest of the soros WEF place holders …
… but the clash? Greenland ? Canada ? Cacos ? Russia ? A black swan event?
Am I the only one to think Smarmer’s tough talk on the Ukraine extremely unconvincing?
It’s abundantly clear that he is acting the part under the direction of the EU.
I suspect they think this great show of unity will convince the British people to agree to rejoin.
JohnC
If TTK fixes the 2029 election and the polls show another benefits fuelled landslide maybe he ll talk about formally rejoining the EU – I can hear his speech even now ‘ Brexit has failed – we cannot go on like this – our country is being harmed ‘…blah blah blah – I wonder if people will be sufficiently worn form by then and the invaders – sent from the EU get to vote …
Starmer, tough talk?
pfff….
Happy to set the dogs on somebody who can’t really defend themselves – I hope that when he falls the pack rip him to bits.
The Daily Mail do love provocative outrage but really, sometimes they do have a valid point
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14544807/Scandal-deportation-Albanian-criminals-530k-gang-rapists-investigation-Paul-Bracchi.html
The ever widening gulf between the ordinary folks of the UK , and probably Europe as a whole, is emphasised by the legacy media commentary about Trump and MAGA.
The media is outraged by the comments about pathetic Europe , about how Britain should look after its borders , about why European elite seem to fear their own people, about why Europe should step up its defence spending , about the unfairness of reciprocal tariffs. On and on they go.
But a large section of the European and British populations agree with much of what the Trump administration is saying and doing . The legacy media are universally Globalist but Trump is the vanguard of anti Globalist Nationalism which is sweeping across the developed world. We all need to line up behind him if we don’t want to ruled by the WEF.
Double – the repression of freedom is going along pretty well in Europe – people are muzzled and silenced and vilified for expressing their unapproved views – helped by the msm…
GOOD NEWS…. swallowing down and cousin marriages down … we are winning!
Big drop in child surgery for swallowed objects
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr52g1pjznno
Society’s move to cashless payments may have had an unintended positive side effect, surgeons say – fewer children needing operations or procedures to remove swallowed coins.
………….
Researchers found cousin marriages had dropped from 62% at the outset, to 28%
https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/jan/17/tory-bill-to-ban-marriage-between-cousins-is-damaging-and-unenforceable
‘fewer children needing operations or procedures to remove swallowed coins.’
Cashless society – it’s a win win.
Wait till they start eating credit cards.
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where someone manipulates another into doubting their own sanity, reality, or perceptions, often through subtle, persistent behaviors
As an example of Government stupidity we are to be forced into having a Mayor and combined authority inflicted on us in Cheshire. Similar proposals are in place for the rest of the Country. We have been given a week or two to comment on the proposals in a so-called ‘consultation’. It’s here (similar ones will be available for your areas):
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/cheshire-and-warrington-devolution/cheshire-and-warrington-devolution-consultation
One wonders that if this such a great idea why was what was left of Cheshire split into Cheshire East and Cheshire West as recently as 2009. This split was bitterly opposed by most residents and only seems to have resulted in two noxious Empires. This was preceded by an unviable Halton Council in 1974 being hived off Cheshire and Wirral Council also in 1974.
I’ve lived through a number of local government reorganisations where I’ve lived. There was the creation of Greater Manchester County Council in 1974 and it’s abolition in 1986. I went to the disposal auction in their swanky offices where the stuff they paid millions for was sold for buttons.
Thatcher’s view of these Metropolitan Councils was that they were Labour controlled strongholds. The same will happen again.
In all, all the local government reorganisations I have experienced have not benefitted the public at all. It’s all costly political manipulation.
Marky – that’s a good record upon which to judge TTK . If Rachel continues the triple lock the options must be to degrade the state pension some other way – obviously raising the pension age is an easy ‘win ‘ and freezing the tax thresholds for ever erodes personal wealth –
So the likes of tax free pension withdrawals must be up for grabs . The Marxists are never going to cut public spending so up go taxes as sterling crumbles …
Rod Stewart: Tories should stand down and give Labour a go
Published 27 January 2023

Rod Stewart left the UK and made his home in Los Angeles in 1975 to avoid the 83% tax on top earners that existed in Britain at the time.
Nigel Nelson the leftie on GBNews was advocating a wealth tax this morning. As he is close to Labour I think it safe to assume that they are thinking about it.

“*A statement by Vaseem Ahmed, Chair of Redbridge & Ilford Independents*
This evening, Labour suffered its worst local election defeat in Redbridge for over a decade. Ordinary working people rejected a party that no longer represents them. Labour’s contempt for ordinary people was exemplified by their inaction towards former ward Cllr and Ilford South MP, Jas Athwal, who as leader of Redbridge Labour Council, failed to licence his many rental flats, whilst enacting rules that forced everyone else to do so.
The same Jas Athwal was also found to have rented ant-infested, mould-ridden, and substandard rental properties to vulnerable tenants and who, as Parliament’s biggest landlord, also owned a property with a failing care home. A rogue landlord, as described by many tenant rights groups, Athwal thought he and the local Labour party he led for over 10 years could get away with this atrocious behaviour. Today, voters have given him and his supporters an almighty shock! Our party defeated Labour by nearly 2 to 1 in vote share, as its support collapsed in one of its former heartlands.
This momentous result shows that people desperately want change. Noor Jahan Begum, our fantastic local candidate, proved that ordinary people can make a difference with organisation, tenacity and solidarity.
Together, we defeated the politics that think it can with total impunity, attack our NHS, cut benefits to the poorest in society, including the disabled and old-age pensioners. A Labour Party that thinks nothing of arming and supporting Israel as it commits a genocide in Gaza is not a party of peace and internationalism. This wasn’t the change most people voted for in May last year. They now see how their living standards have drastically fallen whilst £billions are wasted on promoting war. The people wanted change back then, but instead, they got Keir Starmer and his right-wing clique intent on destroying our democracy.
But we know the battle is far from won, not by any means! Labour still have over 50 Cllrs and two MPs, but we will challenge them for every one of these seats as Redbridge & Ilford Independents. We are now a serious and organised opposition in the borough. Only we can defeat Labour in Redbridge and that is what we intend to do.
We would also like to pay a special tribute to our amazing team of dedicated, hard-working volunteers who came from near and far, all united in their determination to restore democracy and accountability in our politics.
Our fight is for a fairer, more equal society driven by honesty, integrity, and transformation. They are the pillars of our grass-roots movement.
Tonight, we toast a historic victory, but tomorrow, we continue our work!”

MM, do you use predictive text in your too many to count, over numerous posts? “The number of Palestine Parties is increasing.” !!! A bit of a giveaway, there. 😉 🙂
So much news is crushing my soul – last post of the day! Keir is gas lighting the nation and we are enjoying the lies with no option to kick him out.

Listening early to LBC radio today a caller rang in asking for advice from a legal advisor (Solicitor) who (he thought) said that if your ‘over 50’ you can now claim 50% discount from your BBC TV license….
The presenter then confirmed this is TRUE but only if you can prove as being registered as being:
(1) If you are totally BLIND you can get a 50% discount!
………… Wow!
(b) Sadly it was NOT confirmed that if you were DEAF ; that you could claim a 50% discount for some strange reason.
But the good news is that if your are both DEAF and BLIND you do not need to buy a TV set and the listening to the BBC on radio is then totally free!!, in which case you do not need to pay a TV license at all.
But – I am sure you will agree – that this is extremely generous of the BBC to offer such discounts!
Of course if you are in PRISON you do not have to pay for a TV license (as its FREE)l, and also its FREE to view at any immigration center that holds illegal immigrants, who are very keen to get the FREE UK benefits and FREE UK legal advice on how to stay in this country IF they are gay, vegan, christian and trans-gender (in which case the BBC can offer a FREE translation service in your own language of Swahili or Arabic in how to claim your FREE TV license… and stay in this country for FREE ‘Food’, ‘Board’ and ‘Lodgings’ – (for life – Tax FREE!) Murderers and petty and serious drug Criminals are also welcome to a FREE TV license in and out of UK jails. This is due to the generosity of the BBC who threaten with menaces the UK general public if found in possession of a TV set.
Apparently there are things called podcasts – comrade linaker makes money from them . He isn’t happy with the BbC advertising it’s own podcasts – it’s reported in the telegraph = here’s the report
STARTS The BBC has scrapped plans to run advertisements on its radio and podcasts after Gary Lineker warned it would harm his business.
The corporation had outlined proposals to place advertisements around some of its programming in the UK when streamed on platforms such as Apple and Spotify.
But the plans have been shelved after rivals including Goalhanger, the podcast company run by Mr Lineker, warned of a “disastrous” impact on the market.
A BBC spokesman said: “We have listened to feedback and having considered the options carefully, we have decided to rule out placing adverts around BBC licence-fee funded programmes on third-party podcast platforms in the UK.
“We will continue to support the audio sector and the wider market, investing in the best ideas and developing production capabilities across the UK.”
The BBC had been considering introducing advertising to programmes such as The Archers, Desert Island Discs and In Our Time in an effort to boost revenues.
Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, is trying to expand income from the BBC’s commercial division as he grapples with a squeeze on licence fee funding and a £500m black hole in the broadcaster’s finances.
However, insiders said the BBC was dropping the advertisement plans as they recognised the strength of feeling among rivals. The decision is expected to be confirmed in the BBC annual plan due to be published early next week.
Owen Meredith, chief executive of the News Media Association, which represents local and national publishers, said: “If confirmed, this would be a welcome change of heart from the BBC, showing an understanding of how their unique funding and position, when abused, can have a detrimental impact on the commercial media landscape.
“I hope this learning will be replicated elsewhere at the BBC by finally reversing their aggressive push into online local news which is having a damaging impact on local news publishers, and its predatory marketing strategy in app stores.”
Rivals had warned of ‘disastrous’ impact
Mr Lineker’s Goalhanger, which produces shows including The Rest is Politics and The Rest is History, was one of 20 media companies to hit out at the proposals, arguing that the BBC would cannibalise advertising revenues and crowd out smaller players.
Goalhanger, which was founded by the former England footballer in 2022, claims to be the UK’s largest independent podcast group with its shows downloaded over 400m times worldwide last year. The Match of the Day presenter also remains the BBC’s highest-paid star.
In a letter last summer to Lucy Frazer, the culture secretary at the time, the media companies wrote: “The impact of it extracting audio advertising funds from the nascent UK podcasting market would be disastrous, especially for the numerous small independent podcast producers.”
Critics warned against allowing the BBC, which is funded by the licence fee, to muscle into the nascent podcasting market. Podcast advertising generated revenues of £76m in 2022, compared to the BBC’s total income of £5.7bn.
Andy Carter, the former Conservative MP, also warned about the impact on consumers, saying those who did not use BBC Sounds would “in effect be paying twice”.
It comes after the BBC announced a shake-up to its Sounds streaming platform that will see expats cut off from scores of radio stations and podcasts.
The BBC said it was developing ways of increasing commercial revenues internationally while growing Sounds in the UK through initiatives such as releasing podcasts first on its own platform before releasing them to third parties such as Apple and Spotify.
Matt Payton, the chief executive of Radiocentre, the industry body for commercial radio, said: “We welcome the BBC’s public confirmation that it will not be introducing ads on its podcasts on third-party platforms. This is clearly the right decision for audiences as well as the many businesses investing in podcasts in the UK.
“The BBC receives significant funding from the licence fee to produce distinctive audio content and introducing advertising alongside this would be damaging and inappropriate.”ENDS

BBC Watch
As always, thank you for your ongoing support and engagement with our BBC Watch blog.
It has never been clearer that an increasing number of you are fed-up and frustrated with the ongoing antics of the BBC and its failure to recognise its shortcomings. Recent emails from readers have asked about what the legal situation is regarding not paying the licence fee and what you are able to watch if you decide to stop paying this antiquated tax. It is a shocking state of affairs that this question even needs to be asked.
There are two things I suggest:
Firstly, take a listen to the podcast episode we recorded with Rebecca Ryan from Defund The BBC. You can listen to that episode of ‘A Nation Of TaxPayers’ on Spotify here, Apple Podcasts here, and YouTube here.
Secondly, the Defund The BBC website has a useful ‘How To’ section that makes it clear what you can view without a TV licence. You can their site here: https://www.defundbbc.uk
Three BBC stories have caught my eye in the last few weeks.
Firstly, it has been revealed that disgraced BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has yet to return any of his salary earned in the months following his arrest.
This is a man who pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children – seven of which were Category A indecent images of children which are defined as the worst type. He avoided prison after he was given six months imprisonment which was suspended for two years. Following his arrest in November 2023, he continued to be paid by the BBC right up until his resignation five months later. The BBC are insisting that they are demanding Edwards pay back his salary for that period.
However, when BBC Chairman, Dr Samir Shat, appeared before MPs sitting on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, he admitted that Edwards had yet to pay back a penny. On top of this, we hear that the corporation has yet to publish the findings from its own investigation into the scandal which so far has cost £1.3million.
If the BBC were a private business, heads would have rolled by now. But as usual, vast amounts of licence fee payers’ money is being spent with no real positive outcome or decisive action.
I also note with interest that whilst the BBC continues to plead poverty and lobbies for the licence fee to stay in place, it can find £125k a year to recruit a Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging.
The successful applicant will be responsible for creating ‘an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels they can belong’. By my reckoning the people who no longer feel the BBC belongs to them are hardworking licence fee payers. Which leads me onto the disgraceful revelations about the documentary the BBC commissioned entitled: ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’.
It turns out the narrator of the film – a 13-year-old boy called Abdullah – is the son of an official in the Hamas run government, the deputy minister of agriculture no less. We know this as an enterprising journalist discovered the LinkedIn profile of Abdullah’s father. The documentary, which has now been withdrawn, cost £400,000. To top it all, production company Hoyo Films who made it, paid Abdullah £700 for his services.
Hoyo Films were aware of the boy’s links to Hamas but did not reveal them to the BBC. However, ultimately, the buck stops with the broadcaster who screened the documentary.
It brings into question the integrity of the production companies the BBC chooses to select to make programmes for it, and the BBC’s own due diligence given the speed with which the connection was found.
This recent blunder also highlights the blind spot or just complete bias that exists when it comes to some of those in the media world and how they view the Israel/Gaza conflict. Heads should roll due to this latest incident, but I suspect they will not. As I saw repeatedly whilst working at the BBC, those managers who do not do their job properly, cause a controversy or are simply not fit for purpose are rarely sacked. They just get moved into a different role.

Eddy, Daniela after Jonny Dymond’s job as Royal Correspondent? I don’t know why the BBC, in their over-staffed situation (see Philip_2 post’s above) why they do not make Jonny Dymond, a permanent member of the TOADY presenters and an occasional presenter for TWatO when the Montacutie goes for her usual long weekend. Sarah doesn’t like Fridays similar to Bob Geldhofs dislike of Mondays!
Telegraph headline –
‘How worried shouid we be about the King ‘
I immediately assumed they’d decided he is a Muslim convert .
In the comments there’s a careless lack of affection . No wonder …… at least he can pop into the Islam prayer room on Friday to do his Islamic duty ….

In another life, the King would be a member of the Green party.
He would advocate Taxing the rich and abolish the monarchy.

Nasen Saadi’ – a murderer and attempted murderer -is being sentenced today . Tricky one for the BBC – a killer of women – complete strangers on a beach – yet is an ethnic Cardiff choir boy …. Just like the Southport monster – sadly still alive …
So who wins BbC … you always choose – no doubt they’ll blame some one else for the evil of this monster … another one who deserved the rope …
Got 39 years minimum, longer than normal for murder, guess because the woman was homosexual.

Then excellent news – the last steel producer is being closed – Scunthorpe – nice one Green Crapsters with your overpriced energy ….
And we can forget building tanks and ships …
Why do we need tanks and ships? The enemy’s already here, on the ground, ready, no doubt waiting for the signal.
But we still use steel, it’s just produced elsewhere, probably with lower environmental standards, so there is absolutely NO effect on the environment, but thousands of jobs gone overseas (read Charter 2030 United Nations – the real reason)
Moggie – absolutely agree – those weapons would land up being used against the British – in the name of community cohesion …..
Yep shut Scunthorpe down – wonder who the MPs are …?
More excellent news

To Hell With the Archbishop of Canterbury {slate.com feb2008}
“In the midst of this dismal verbiage and euphemism, the plain statement—”There’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said”—still stands out like a diamond in a dunghill. It stands out precisely because it is said simply, and because its essential grandeur is intelligible to everybody. Its principles ought to be just as intelligible and accessible to those who don’t yet speak English, in just the same way as the great Lord Mansfield once ruled that, wherever someone might have been born, and whatever he had been through, he could not be subject to slavery once he had set foot on English soil.”
