Midweek 25th June 2025

Another bad day for the BBC – Trump brokering a Middle East cease fire – a terrorist group it might favour ‘Palestine action ‘ being outlawed – and the prospect of legacy media having to ‘consolidate ‘ to survive.

    BBc to,charge US subscribers – from the DT

    STARTS The BBC is to start charging Americans a subscription to access its news and live TV, charging 80pc less than the licence fee.
    The broadcaster unveiled details of the paywall on Thursday, which will see American households charged $8.99 (£6.55) a month for a “premium service”. An annual subscription will be priced at $49.99 (£36.50).
    The price is far lower than the £174.50 per year licence fee charged to Britons who watch BBC TV.
    US customers will not get all the same benefits as Britons. The package will grant users unlimited access to news and feature articles, while a livestream of the BBC News channel will also be available. However, American subscribers will not get access to TV channels beyond BBC News.
    Ad-free documentary series and films will be included in the subscription, which will be launched on Thursday.
    Americans who choose not to pay for the service will still be able to access a selection of news stories and will be able to listen to BBC radio stations and podcasts.ENDS

    Fancy paying for all that far left propaganda …. Will go down well with Muslims though …

    TWatO Watch #1 – the BBC believing everything a Palestinian tells them

    The Montacutie presenting before she goes off on a long weekend. Believing everything a Palestinian tells her. Hamas lie. Period. It is not in their interest to be truthful and admit they use civilians as human shields. They also lie about casualties as they cannot admit that they shoot civilians awaiting aid deliveries.

      …………..

      The Böhmermann affair (also known as Erdogate[1]) was a political affair following an experimental poem on German satirist Jan Böhmermann’s satire show Neo Magazin Royale in late March 2016 that deliberately insulted Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan using profane language.

      Days after a music video titled “Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdoğan” in another German satire show had infuriated Erdoğan, prompting Ankara to summon the German ambassador, Böhmermann went on to find the line between satire, which is protected by freedom of speech legislation, and “abusive criticism” (German: Schmähkritik) of a foreign state leader (lèse-majesté), which was still a punishable offense in Germany at that time.

    ‘ BBC launches US subscription 80pc cheaper than licence fee
    US households will have to pay up to $8.99 a month for broadcaster’s ‘premium service’

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/26/bbc-charge-americans-news-britons-ditch-licence-fee/

    Meanwhile we ‘mugs’ paying for the BBC are offered this:
    (Duncan Barkes Reports for Taxpayers Alliance): Newsletter:

    BBC Watch!

    Welcome to the latest BBC Watch from the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

    Just when you thought you had seen and heard it all regarding the BBC’s highhandedness and pomposity, something new rears its ugly head. The BBC’s Chairman, Samir Shah, has suggested in an interview that an alternative funding model could be linked to property bands and collected at the same time as council tax.

    In this latest revelation, the sheer brass neck of the BBC really is something to behold.

    They genuinely seem to be ignorant when it comes to the mood of the nation and tone deaf when more and more people express dissatisfaction with their archaic licence fee funding model.

    The evidence is there in their latest Annual Report which clearly shows a growing number of people are now refusing to fork out for the licence which means the BBC is losing millions of pounds.

    And rightly so.

    Despite this stark message clearly showing how an increasing number of Brits no longer value the BBC or believe it is worth paying for, they’re clearly not getting the message.

    Such an extraordinary suggestion really does beggar belief.

    The idea that how much you continue to pay for the BBC is based on the size or value of your property is on par with the Window Tax that was prevalent in the 1600s and 1700s where property owners paid a tax linked to the number of windows their property had.

    The premise was a ludicrous concept then, as it is now.

    The proposition only works on the assumption that the nation is entirely happy to continue to pay for the BBC.

    You know as I do that has not been the case over the last few years and support for the BBC will only continue to decline as new media owners enter the market and younger generations continue to rightly choose to pay for their media consumption – not be forced to fund an organisation by some kind of outdated tax.

    But the proposition also only works if the only way to fund the BBC is through a tax. This was the original premise of the licence fee. When there was only one channel available, and it was impossible to restrict access, then something like a TV tax made sense. With modern technology that’s no longer the case.

    Yet Samir Shah also rejected the idea that the TV licence would be scrapped for a Netflix subscription-style service.

    He said that it would “not meet the BBC’s key role to offer something for everyone in the country.”

    Once again, he is working on the incorrect assumption that people in the UK expect the BBC to do this for them.

    Increasingly, the people I talk to feel the BBC offers them nothing.

    The BBC Chairman went onto explain how households in higher council tax bands would pay more for BBC services, while those in lower bands could end up paying less than the current rate.

    Those who opt out of paying a TV license would no longer be able to do so.

    This latest proposal would see the existing £174.50 licence fee scrapped in favour on this new funding model.

    In his Sunday Times interview, he said he believed this latest funding idea would reduce the need to prosecute people for not paying, having told the newspaper: “It gets rid of the enforcement issue, which is a problem. The idea that not paying the licence fee is a criminal offence seems too harsh.”

    What is harsh is his basic belief that vast chunks of the country are prepared to continue to pay for this bloated behemoth that many of us lost faith in a longtime ago due to its waste, bias and wokeism.

    Chairman Shah needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

    The reality is vastly different.

    The frontpage of The Sun newspaper recently reported on the latest alleged bullying scandal at the BBC.

    This one involves an investigation into the culture and possible bullying of staff at the Manchester-based BBC Breakfast programme after complaints were made against editor Richard Frediani.

    Maybe forms of bullying are endemic in the BBC from senior editorial staff to a Chairman who thinks he can coerce an entire population into carrying on paying for his outdated and increasingly unloved or respected organisation.

    If this latest ludicrous funding suggestion gains any traction, then we will have to respond hard to let the BBC know that this kind of arrogance will not be tolerated.

    That is how you deal with bullies.

    Spot the difference….

    ‘US gained nothing from strikes, Iran’s supreme leader says’

    but

    ‘Hegseth talks up US strikes on Iran in push for public approval’

    Remarkable that the most recent BBC attempt to deride the US raid forgets to mention that that initial report was qualified with a ‘low confidence’ label.

    ‘Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth took the lectern at the Pentagon briefing room on Thursday morning with two goals.

    He wanted to present evidence of the success of the American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, pushing back against a preliminary defence intelligence assessment that suggested the strikes were less effective.’

    Then we have a comment trying to downplay the CIA’s analysis….oh…it’s old news….

    ‘During his half-hour briefing, Hegseth ticked through a range of intelligence information, although little of it was new.

    He read from a Wednesday letter penned by CIA Director John Ratcliffe that claimed there was “intelligence from a historically reliable and accurate source/method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years”. ‘

    Hmmmm and yet the CIA analysis came after the ‘leak’ that the BBC is still pushing…so why is the CIA report ‘nothing new’ but the older report is fresh and current?

    What is the BBC’s game?

Democracy means nothing at all to them. They believe 100% THEY are right. They do not have the capacity to question themselves. They are totally intolerant of other beliefs.

            That’s been their excuse for murdering countless millions through history when they got total power.

    Israeli strike at Gaza market kills 18 Palestinians, doctor and witnesses say
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8dlzx918o

    ‘Eyewitnesses said Israeli drones fired at members of a Hamas police force, dressed in civilian clothing and wearing masks, who were confronting vendors they accused of price gouging and selling goods looted from aid trucks.’

    And another BBC article written by their Gazan reporter – who earlier blatantly lied and blamed Israel for the deaths caused by a faulty Hamas rocket – which is chock full of dishonest and misleading information.

    No suggestion whatsoever that these goods were stolen by Hamas and these men are terrorists themselves selling it on. Just because the local police aren’t in on it doesn’t mean anything. Yet the clear inference in this article is that Hamas are the good guys.

    Every paragraph is like this one:
    ‘Rescue teams evacuated 14 bodies, including those of three Palestinians who were waiting for humanitarian aid near the Wadi Gaza bridge close to the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza.’
    So 11 terrorists killed then Rushdi ?.

    ‘In the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, in the south of the Strip, five members of the Abu Arab family were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a tent sheltering displaced persons. ‘
    Here he tells us directly the tent was sheltering displaced persons inferring they were innocent civilians. Any evidence for that claim Rushdi ? – because I am 100% sure Israel didn’t think so.

    Of course the article references the country views – but always presented as what Israel says and might be a lie.

    The BBC are out of control now. They are full on activists.

    Jesus H Christ : The Left are apoplectic with rage that Trump is deserving of some credit : just look at this ridiculously pathetic attempt to say something bad about him.

    He is basically saying the strikes he did now have averted a much greater loss of life in the future. Which is absolutely true.

    But the BBC have been busy in Japan to find the most ridiculous people to say things like:

    ‘If Trump’s comments “justifies the dropping of the atomic bomb, it is extremely regrettable for us as a city that was bombed,” said Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki.’
    What ?. Why is it regrettable ?.

    ‘Lawmakers in Hiroshima also passed a resolution on Thursday rejecting statements that justify the use of atomic bombs. They also called for armed conflicts to be settled peacefully.’
    What ?????. That is just nonsense.

    ‘Survivors of the atomic bomb attacks staged a protest in Hiroshima on Thursday, demanding Trump retract his statement.’
    How many of those were there BBC ?. They will be at least 85 or 90 by now. Any pics ?. No, thought not.

    And this one:
    ‘”I’m really disappointed. All I have is anger,” said another member of the group, Teruko Yokoyama, in a Kyodo News report.’
    Anger at what ? We aren’t told.

    And of course they bring in a reference to the fake news they are pushing which has nothing whatsoever to do with this report:

    ‘Trump’s comments on Wednesday came as he pushed back on a leaked intelligence report that said US strikes on Iran only set its nuclear programme back by a few months.’

    This must be one of the most pathetic and contrived political activist BBC articles I’ve seen for a long time – and they’ve made it front page world news. It’s shockingly desperate.

    Mind you, what do you expect when this is the best they have these days to write it:

      No mention of Starmer being the most unpopular PM at this stage in history. No mention Labour on course to lose 200 seats. Catastrophic first year.
      This is why BBC will lose licence fee.

      Maybe it will see their ratings get into double figures?

    Exposed: Palestine Action’s Plans for Wave of Attacks on RAF Bases Across UK

    https://dailysceptic.org/2025/06/26/exposed-palestine-actions-plans-for-wave-of-attacks-on-raf-bases-across-uk/

    So when PA get prescribed as a terrorist organisation does that mean that:

    * The scumbag who stabbed Hatun in the neck in broad daylight at Speakers Corner will be arrested?

    * The girlie who cutup Lord Balfour’s painting in Trinity College and her Cranebridge university video boy will be identified and arrested?

    * The two deliverroooo riders who vandalised two aircraft at Brize Norton will be arrested and prosecuted?

    Thought not! Funny how quick the three Ukrainian rear-gunners got picked up after damaging Der Starmers property.

    … almost as though we have 2-Tier Justice in the UK.

    “DisGUSTing” I say!

    BBC R4 brief news at 11:00 quoted Sir Keir’s appointee Richard Hermer KC as saying that accusations of two-tier justice in Britain are “disgusting”, and undermine the judicial process.

    The use of this emotive word, often with heavy emphasis on the middle syllable when spoken, is a Leftist tactic to discredit their target. Label and dismiss, then label and dismiss again as necessary.

    As a legal man, Hermer should understand that there is, prima facie, a reasonable case to argue that two-tier justice exists in Britain today. Contrast the treatments of Huw Edwards, Black Lives Matter vandals, the Manchester Airport men who attacked police and many pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London, on the one hand, with that of Tommy Robinson, Lucy Connolly and angry protestors after the Southport butchery, on the other.

    “The first time I went to Glastonbury, it was 2003, and I lost my fiancée in the crowd watching Radiohead’s headline set. That night, someone relieved themselves on our tent as we slept. It wasn’t an auspicious introduction.

    But there’s something about it that keeps me coming back. Everywhere you turn, someone’s having the best night of their year. They might be falling in love, they might be witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime performance (Dolly Parton for me), or they might be relieving themselves on a stranger’s tent.

    However you get your kicks, I guess.”
