DEFUND THE BBC
Its really quite simple. Just go on line and tell them you don’t want their TV Licence anymore.

Almost guarantees a visit from one of their goons if you do that, I understand.
At which time you can tell them the same thing.
Good. Waste as much of their time as possible.
When I was studying law one of the biggest gripes of the lefty law lecturers was that research into what goes on in the jury room is illegal .
When it comes to a case im Manchester where the jury has been deliberating of 3? Days over a CCTV affray case some might say ‘questions must be asked ‘….
There are plenty of restrictions on what can be said – reported – about criminal cases – always that justice might be perverted . But being a believer in free speech – I say crap .
You can bet that after Manchester – whatever way it goes – the jury will be told to keep their mouths shut …
AS I WRITE ONE HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY – but the above still stands

3. This Code of Conduct on Islamophobia supplements the “Code of Conduct: Antisemitism and other forms of racism,” reproduced in Appendix 9 to the Labour Party Rule Book. The NEC and NCC will take this Code of Conduct on Islamophobia into account when determining allegations of hostility or prejudice based on the protected characteristic of Islam or towards Muslims.
Suggesting that Muslims, individually or as a group in British society, pose a threat to British or European society, civilisation or values, for example, by claiming that Muslims are a demographic threat to British people, by claiming that Muslims are taking over British society or civic or political institutions through their presence in the same, or by catastrophising immigration from Muslim majority countries.

So do we now have to use a special word when a muslim blows up our children or hacks the head off a soldier or drives a car into a crowd of innocent people ?
When we see Muslims shouting death to all infidel’s do we have to pretend that it doesn’t pose a threat to our society.
How far will TTK ho to protect his Muslim vote ?
We all know he doesn’t give a stuff about us British.

BBC Verify is promoted as BBC’s flagship ‘fact checking’ news service. But as you will see below – BBC Verify is a cheap, amateurish, propaganda device- that is driven by unacceptable bias, and publishes blatant lies worthy of a Russian Soviet era misinformation service.
https://david-collier.com/shut-down-bbc-verify/
I’d like to ask BBC Verify if they could tell us exactly how many people are cancelling their tv licence fee every week and joining the defund the BBC revolution.
Pete – if i recall ( help stew ) they are losing around 800 000 a year – but there are still – i think 20 million licences . I reckons in real life a lot of funding comes from the secret commercial arm licencing formats to other countries..,
Pete, I used to receive from TV Licensing, for some years, a monthly letter.
Not any more. I think the volume of cancelled Licences is too much for the postage. 🙂
The reason for the failure of the air traffic control system is because the online safety act stopped the NATS computer until it proved to be over 18 – or it’s possible that someone tried to put the word ‘Virgin’ into the system and it was closed down to protect the young …

Everything was better back then.
FROM THE BBC.. . ..
Both defendants, from Rochdale, told the court they had acted in lawful self-defence, or in defence of each other.
Giving evidence, Amaaz said he feared the “lunatic” male officer would “batter him to death” while Amaad said he believed he was under attack.
The defence claimed the officers had used “unlawful force” as they grabbed Amaaz from behind without announcing themselves.
Look Mummy in the eyes, the ‘Online Safety Act’ will not censor content that could be seen as harmful to children, induced by the Cabinet Office Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), SPI-B psyop advisors and behavioural scientists using psychological warfare techniques on children to promote fear, shame and scapegoating, so as to ensure mass compliance to government policies, and to increase mental illness in the very young gullible innocent children who trust teachers and other older people brainwashed by the governments Domestic Psyops Teams, encouraging fear and suicide in children likely to access government online services, encouraging suicide and abortion.
All other online services encouraging suicide and death will be banned by the government.
That reminds me of one of those WW1 posters like ‘what did you do in the war daddy ‘ – sick stuff on a number of layers. It shows how easily the state exploits guilt emotions when it wants too – right 77 brigade ?

OFCOM, GCHQ or MI5 have blocked my ‘Online to DVD’ recordings of the US Senate hearing “Voices of the Vaccine Injured”. My recording stopped at 3 minutes 30 seconds into the recording while Ron Johnson was speaking up for the vaccine injured, with a caption saying “Recording Blocking Signals are Detected”. However, I then filtered the recording through an old VHS machine, producing a lower quality recording.
The last few weeks has seen the BBC lurch from one crisis to another.
…’We have seen a complete lack of leadership and accountability, whilst at the same time licence fee payer’s money has been used to fork out for reviews of processes and legal fees.
If the BBC were a private company, we would have been seeing resignations and sackings, but, as ever, the real world does not impact on the BBC due to the ‘unique’ way it is funded and therefore managed.
This is another reason the licence fee must be scrapped.
Since our last BBC Watch, the corporation has admitted that its documentary “Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone” which cost £400,000, had breached its own guidelines for accuracy as the BBC failed to disclose that its child narrator was the son of a Hamas agriculture minister.
It is reported that the independent production company who made the documentary were aware of the father’s Hamas role, but nobody at the BBC did.
…and more here: and several issues that the BBC has failed to cover up. But then with a new online secrecy bill, they will be very. very busy over the Summer. Nothing to see here..hottest day ever etc.

Me again – not BBC – The telegraph is running a campaign for prostate screening in all men – using the PSA test . Although the medical mafia claim the PSA blood test is unreliable it’s better than nothing .
To cut to the chase – if you are male – mit der tackle – and never had a test – go ask your Gp. I did and she refused – even though my big brother got prostate cancer aged about 60 and survived .
So I got a private PSA – result ‘Normal’ -,since then – in the last 2 years I’ve had another 2 tests – both showing normal .
They are not absolutely fool proof but better than turning up – getting tested to find your are a type 4 – meaning it’s spread and you are a gonna – see Chris hoy …
Preaching finished …
I asked my surgery for a PSA and prostate exam a couple of years ago. Both granted without a hint of fuss.
Moggie – sort of proves the point about variability of service – I couldn’t believe it was refused – and even on appeal i lost . I decided my GP wanted to get rid of me . And im glad I went private … and took out expensive private health insurance on the strength of it as I lost all remaining faith in the NHS and medical mafia Gods …
When are are junior £ doctors £ on strike again ? …
Don’t forget to clap …
20 months ago my wife discovered a cancerous tumour. I can honestly say her treatment by, and on, the NHS has been nothing short of superb. Scans, radiotherapy, blood transfusion, a stay in hospital for something unrelated but awkward. She was cleared a year ago but still has regular scans.
Surely the point is that the NHS being superb should be an expectation not a surprise. Time and again, and with due respect to you, we hear someone justify the state of the NHS on the basis that they had good treatment. Well, a friend who had a stroke in the USA had fantastic treatment. In a CT scanner 10 minutes after hospital arrival, with clot busting drugs. She made a full recovery. In the NHS she could have waited on a trolley in an A and E corridor until it was too late.
But excellent treatment is available across Europe, where incidentally health care is not a EU competence, and many other countries, all of which use hybrid public/ private healthcare systems to better effect than does the ‘world class’ NHS. Or should I say IHS?

Same story here – diagnosis for Non Hodgkin’s, after only a couple of weeks from the first visit to my GP who fired up his PC as soon as he recognised the lumps, then a consultancy and immediate hospital, and chemo for six months.
EVERYONE in Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells has been just fabulous in their care, sensitivity, passion and just pure loving attention!
Now on a holding programme, after a PT scan showing a success, but which is being taken just as seriously, as they don’t want me back, and there again, I don’t want to go back there too much either!
The issues are certainly not with the marvellous on-hand staff!
I was going to write how the NHS killed my dad – but decided it wasn’t for this website . The irony for me at the time was that I was coming to the end of my LLM and had specialised in medical negligence- I knew I had a case but I was persuaded not to pursue it …
If I’d become fully legal – eg a barrister – I’d have specialised in crucifying the NHS – … but I didn’t abd sometime a regret it a tiny bit …
Scrobie, am glad, that you have with the help of our deficient/and at times wonderful NHS, beaten Non-Hodgkins. 🙂 x 20
I’m not justifying anything. I’m merely pointing out the treatment my wife received as opposed to what we hear on TV.
TWatO Watch #1 – the Montacutie on her hols again? You pay for that if you pay the TellyTax
Jonny Dymond was presenting in Sarah’s absence. Needless to say much of the news was taken up with a ‘two State solution’ for Palestine. An Israeli British hostage, Emily Damari is against that call by TTK for that solution and called, along with other families of other hostages, for that plan to be abandoned by the UK Government. Another contributor to the programme was a female journalist for, I think, the Jerusalem Post. Sorry, forgotten her name. This female was obviouly aware of the BBC’s Lefty viewpoint on Gaza and mentioned objections to the ‘two State solution’ for Palestine on both the hard-right and the Far-Left. Jonny knew the BBC had been caught out and did not say anything. 🙂
Suddenly in our small coastal town, a rash of notices have appeared in various streets announcing planning permission for houses in the street and recently sold to be enlarged, roof rooms etc and subsequently to be converted to HMO’s. In one case a terraced house previously occupied by an elderly couple is to be converted to house four families.
I think I can guess what’s going on here just wondering if anyone else on here has noticed similar trends in their towns etc. ?
And does this mean the Government are using taxpayers cash to buy up the properties and convert them so that inhabitants can move in who will then live free of charge off courtesy the taxpayer?
“And does this mean the Government are using taxpayers cash to buy up the properties and convert them so that inhabitants can move in who will then live free of charge off courtesy the taxpayer”?
Excellent point Digg, but there somehow seems to be an exodus from Tunbridge Wells, of the usual ‘requirements’ for social housing, and many new faces in the villages.
It doesn’t really worry me, as I can get by, and also most of my time is spent very close to home (smug git, Scrobs – it’s a matter of having to actually), but several friends aren’t so lucky, and I wonder what is happening to the previous accommodation in the larger Kent towns – who is going in to take it over?
The precept in our village, and others run by TWBC has to be hidden somewhere to cover the cost of illegals, but I’m damned if I can find out anything about it – maybe Reform will delve a bit deeper in the KCC quagmire…
I have absolutely no proof of what’s going on behind closed doors, but, like many old codgers like me are required to experience, a ‘gut feeling’ means more than anything on the bBC or in the rags these days! I just don’t trust them to tell the truth any more!
I watched a whole housing estate built quickly in my area. It took a few months. Shortly afterwards a new diverse “community” began to appear using the train staion next to the new estate.
digg strap yourself in for a real roller coaster ride if these are like the HMOs in Cranebridge.
I lived opposite one that had been changed from housing students to warehousing scum-of-the-earth.
The first clue was the need for the residents to have medical medication. Then they (in their 20s) would loaf around all day taking drugs, throwing furniture at each other on the roof terrace before finally crashing out.
One day a young mother asked them very nicely if they could turn the music down as her baby could not sleep. So he goes back into his room comes out with two ginormous speakers, plonks them on the roof, goes back inside and turns the volume up full blast and then comes back out with a thumbs up.
Daily a whole fleet of vans would park outside repairing furniture, washing machines, kitchen, rebuilds after fires.
Nightly would be a succession of police vehicles, or fire tenders.
Very often one of the houses would have a closed notice on it from the police as it had been used as a drug den.
digg these houses were in the centre of Cranebridge and here was the advantage as the welfare classes could claim that these were vulnerable adults needing to receive maximum attention and support whilst at the same time they caused the maximum destruction to the surrounding community.
Here’s one for the BBC, Guardian, Leftie Luvvies, LibDems, Remoaners.
Q2 economic growth rates.
Evil, nasty, orange man Trump’s USA ….3%
Nice, cuddly, thoughtful, intelligent, Ursula von der Leyen’s Eurozone…….0.1%.
And that was a surprise. The prediction was zero.
Oh well. At least we can all virtue-signal in relative poverty, as we continue our march to economic irrelevance.

26 August 2014 “Prof Jay said the first of these reports was “effectively suppressed” because senior officers did not believe the data. The other two were ignored, she said.”
Some were doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, while others were threatened with guns, made to watch “brutally violent rapes” and warned they would be next if they told anyone.

If you took the view that the BBC was unbiased – reported important stuff according to its ‘ impact on national life – you might struggle to explain why the official number of 707 000 released yesterday barely got a mention on the BBC – 707 000 being the number of foreigners coming to the UK to stay in the last 12 months …
Instead we got straight Islamic Hamas propaganda dressed up as ‘fact ‘ – and vacuous stuff about TTK recognising a terrorist organisation as a ‘State ‘ – just to screw the Israelis .
Keep going IDF …
I remember back in the seventies and eighties my Lefty comrades were entranced by the memory of Mahatma Gandhi and claimed he was role model that we could all admire.
Jump forward to today and those same Lefty friends of mine are almost all supporters of Hamas and other Islamic causes.
Non violent action has been replaced by Jihad.
Yasser – the world moves on “In Ghana, a statue of Mahatma Gandhi was removed from the University of Ghana campus in Accra following protests and petitions. The statue, erected in 2016, was removed in December 2018 after students and faculty raised concerns about Gandhi’s alleged racist writings and views on black Africans. A separate statue of former Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo was also destroyed in January 2025. “

Coming up next – none too serious review of the headlines this Thursday morning… so if you happen to be StewGreen and don’t want to know… “look away now” – as they used to say before the football scores popped up on our TV screens at the close of the news on a Saturday night.
Of course that warning was aimed at football fans who wanted to watch the upcoming match highlights without knowing what the outcome of the game would be. There was no consideration thought necessary – particularly thinking of female TV viewers – for those who actively disliked football: “If you dislike football, look away now”
And that’s the sort of warning your Mr AsI would like to see these days preface broadcasts of the the wimmin’s game. And so it was only fair with that in mind that our @StewGreen should be gifted the courtesy of his own little health warning at the top of this review. But I digress – without yet having really got into the actual subject matter.
And we begin with an absolute doozy from the source I like to call “the junior poundshop Guardian” ie the i paper
Gaza’s aid crisis is so extreme it can now be seen from space
And moving quickly on to a rare example of our BBC excusing ex post facto how come a news headline of theirs turned out to be overly alarmist and not as extreme as previously advertised: Why did Russian mega earthquake not cause more tsunami damage? (BBC)
A cynic might assume the word “Russia” caused the dial to be turned up to the eleven on this one – given not too many inhabitants of the remote Kamchatka Peninsula were depending on our BBC to do their public service duty of warning them to move inland, prior to the cautionary headlines: Watch: Major earthquake off Russia triggers widespread tsunami warnings (BBC); Big earthquake triggers tsunami warnings in several countries (CBBC – going “Bigly” there – a la Donald Trump?)
Doing my own public service announcement hereabouts: Radio2 loses 1M listeners (i paper) – good news? Depends which way you look at it – if you can say that about radio.

Government issues first Islamic bond
Britain becomes the first country outside the Islamic world to issue sovereign Sukuk.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said:
Today’s issuance of Britain’s first sovereign Sukuk delivers on the government’s commitment to become the western hub of Islamic finance and is part of our long term economic plan to make Britain the undisputed centre of the global financial system.
We have seen very strong demand for the Sukuk, resulting in a price that delivers good value for money for the taxpayer. I hope that the success of this government issuance will encourage further private sector issuances of Sukuk in the UK.
By issuing sovereign Sukuk, the government has demonstrated that it is possible to create a successful British base for Islamic finance.

Organised by the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), Muslim organisations from across the UK attended this inaugural convention to network, share knowledge and strategise on spreading Islam effectively.

Didsbury Mosque in Manchester has pushed back against “online misinformation” after a right-wing backlash against a job advertisement for a “Shariah Law Administrator” it posted on a government job portal.

“withdrawn the advert to reword it to “prevent further misinterpretation and misunderstandings.””
Lot of sink holes around.

Whereas the current Labour government is doing only popular things.
One desperately needed below W1A 1aa
You only need to glance at that group to know instinctively that they are likely to be council bods!
Don’t know why!
Maybe due to the quantity required to investigate?
I like the fact that this is not representative of a normal pothole – that’s a mere scratch.
No chance of tubs on the left falling in then! Danger is if he stands on it the pothole is going to significantly increase or he could stand in it to block it.
Happier times in the UK

Notice for the latest carry on doctor strike that they have quietly renamed themselves. They used to be Junior Doctors but now they are Resident doctors.
The cynic in me deduces that their new description looks like it’s worth more dosh than the old one.
Is the NHS waiting list now at NET ZERO? Maybe say they can strike when it gets to zero and only then!

In April 2020, the health and social care secretary announced that over £13bn of debt held by NHS trusts would be written off. This briefing explores the detail behind the numbers and what the write-off means in practice – both now and in the long term.
Trying separate themselves from the raft of Khans now on Labour benches?
““This is where Two-Tier comes from. This incident happens at Manchester Airport, and months go by. Southport happens and a woman with a previously wonderful record within days is in court and gets 31 months in prison… There are two police officers who were involved in that incident who are still under investigation by the IOPC… it does appear over all of this that the Home Secretary did take sides… if you put this together with what happened at Southport and the reactions to both you can really understand how ‘Two-Tier Keir’ has really taken off.”
Days after the incident in July last year Yvette Cooper put out a statement which said:
“It is essential the police have the trust of the communities and the public rightly expect high standards from those in charge of keeping us safe.””

“BBC unveils restored controversial statue by Eric Gill”
Gill was among the most prominent sculptors of the 20th Century. But after his death in 1940, his diaries revealed he had sexually abused his daughters.
A BBC spokeswoman said on Wednesday the corporation “in no way condones Gill’s abusive behaviour” but that it “draws a line between the actions of Gill, and the status of these artworks”.

The statue was unveiled with a new protective covering on

Interesting isn’t it ? If you appear on the bbc and say a wrong word of phrase you are cancelled ( see mr Starkey ) – but admit to sexually assaulting children – the BBC will put up and keep up a statue at the HQ . How does that work ?
Slavery bad – pull down statue and clap
Paedophiles good – repair and protect statue
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/eric_gill_statue_2_3 refers.
ear British Broadcasting Corporation,
In May 2024 I asked about the cost of the protective measures to be installed around the Eric Gill statue. This was RFI20240517.
You kindly told me “The proposed costs of the screen and fixings, along with the licensing, scaffolding hire, and installation costs is approximately £89,000.”.
On 9th April 2025 an item appeared on the BBC News web site (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly1…) in which we are told “The BBC said the estimated total costs of the restoration and protective work was £529,715.”.
The cost of repairs to the statue itself were not included in my original request so there will always have been some discrepancy between these two figures.
Please provide a full cost breakdown for the statue repair and re installation that came to a total of £529,715..
…………..
Repair 1 (2023) £ 24,902
Repair 2 £ 177,649
Scaffolding, licensing and FM Costs £ 83,025
Professional fees (engineering, architecture,
legal, security) £95,637
Stone coping & fitting £ 9,665
Screen fitting and support work £ 129,619
Lighting £ 9,218
Total £ 529,715
Thangam debonair – which sounds like a ladies fragrance – is a peer of the realm now – a baroness – having lost her safe Labour seat in 2024 ….
… for some reason Labour HQ put her on newsnight to defend the online safety act – the reviews were ‘fruity ‘ . It’s 18 minutes long on YouTube – and it’s funny because of her ‘antics ‘ – when you watch it you’ll understand ….
Admission – I was quite dismissive of the bloke who is chairman of reform – but he did a fantastic job communicating the failings the the pee poor legislation and its effects …
But thangam ? Medical issues ? Booze? Mental issues ? Hard to say … but boy what a doozy ….
The title on YouTube is –
‘Reform’s Zia Yusuf clashes with Thangam Debbonaire over the Online Safety Act‘
Comment “Baroness” Thangam Debbonaire’s grinning smugness and attempted condescension is a deeply bad look. In her twenties, she changed her name by deed poll from Singh to Debbonaire. She has supported illegal removal of the Statue of Edward Colston in Bristol. She has also said: “I will do everything I can to stop the UK from leaving the EU”.
Marky grateful – thangam has a touch of Diane abbot about her – didn’t bother with the detail so blah blahed and eye rolled for 11 minutes ….
Pity she wasn’t asked whether she’d read the Act …
In a fragile mental health world where does this appy?
“protecting users from harm”
“The Online Safety Act in the UK introduces measures to hold tech companies accountable for harmful content, including potential jail time for executives in some cases. If companies fail to comply with the Act’s requirements, such as removing illegal content or protecting users from harm, they could face significant fines or, in serious instances, their senior managers could face jail time. “
This morning I heard on Toady (at about 0755) one of the most biased articles I’ve ever heard. I know this because it was about a subject I know a little about.
It was about the decline in language teaching and study in schools. Apparently fewer students do a Modern Foreign Language than do PE and goodness knows what else combined.
Emma loudmouth ‘interviewed ‘ ( big joke) two spokespersons about this.
What we then had was a Far Left tirade covering all the Marxist favourite topics.
Class War. Middle class children do MFL more than those ‘in poverty’.
Globalism. Everyone should be able to come to the UK.
Multiculturalism. The children of families who do not speak English at home should be able to do a GCSE/A level in their ‘natural’ language. The example given, laughably, was Turkish.
I can explode this crap immediately. In 1966 aged 8 we learned French. In year 4! Was I at private school? No. It was at a state junior school surrounded by council houses on three sides and post-war pre-fabs on the fourth side, in a staunchly Labour ward of a staunchly Labour town. The school is still there, mainly unchanged, except for the 8 foot high perimeter fencing and locked gates.
The reasons for dwindling MFL students are many and varied and don’t need the BBC to resort to giving Marxist class warriors to pour out biased guff totally unchallenged.
A bientot!
Sluff – long ago I remember John major saying that to achieve ‘integration ‘ imports need to learn English – so in order to encourage that – all official – council documents will only be done in English ( sorry wales ) …
Obviously the far left civil service / councils ignored it .
I know the above is tangential to your point but it chimes with my wondering as to who the kids are in school now ? What proportion are foreign ? With – maybe -‘ parents ‘ who only speak foreign .
Maybe engleesh shouid be the target yet alone foreign (European ) languages ….
2016 … 2016 …. “Bradford’s language bubbles: ‘it’s perfectly possible never to speak English’
This article is more than 9 years old
Local MP says poor standard of English among many women is a barrier to integration, but some say people should be free to speak their own language”
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jan/18/bradford-language-bubbles-never-speak-english
The sunny 30-year-old arrived in Bradford nine years ago, an imported bride on a spouse visa, barely speaking a word of English. The marriage broke down and she found herself “totally alone”, having to navigate all aspects of British life on her own: doctors appointments, parents evening at her daughter’s school, shopping, the lot.

The MoD says it “has used both RAF and charter flights. Additionally, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to resettle eligible Afghans has run charter flights. For reasons that are commercially and operationally sensitive, we cannot name the companies that organised the charter flights.” So much for Labour’s dedication to openness on this…

I was looking at the form of His Honour Judge Neil Flewitt KC…re the Manchester airport thing – he is TTK judge and handed out prison sentences merrily following Southport – he gave one bloke 7 years for a nasty tweet and a lady 3 years for bricking a plod car …
But I m still betting on a 6 months suspended even though the vermin was remanded in custody ….
