    LOL

    Imagine….GB News is accused of faking a news story in order to interfere in a foreign election with the intent to fabricate a story that favours one of the parties?

    It would be massive headline news at the BBC…not to mention a tdial wave of appeals to Ofcom from fellow travellers trying to take down GB News [as if that would ever happen].

    Oddly a story about the BBC itself fabricating news stories and interfering in a foreign election just isn’t news on the BBC….betting it will be very soon though…looks like one story they can’t ignore for very long. Love to be a fly on the wall at BBC HQ right now as they try to dream up a response.

      I see some people are demanding Tim Davie resigns. What good would that do? He will be replaced by another Tim Davie. No this is beyond resignations This is a time to axe the BBC tax forever.

      I see the BBC still use this tag to attract viewers

        Now is the time for the BBC to be reformed. Panorama have been off the rails with their ludicrous one-sided reporting for a long time. They have become a tool for the BBC political team to go after their ideological enemies.

        I noticed a long time ago that Panorama became stuffed with young clone-type idiots who very obviously did not have the ability or experience to be making the kind of claims they were. Just like all the clones writing articles these days, they were just following instructions.

        For a start BBC News and Entertainment have no place to be together. They are totally different and the notion of having left-wing ‘showbusiness’ luvvies and star-struck clones being involved in the state news provider is just ridiculous. All they do is starting making the biased crap like Panorama churn out.

        They should be completely separated and all the non-professionaL news staff be shoehorned into ‘BBC entertainment’ which becomes a subscription service and will have to adapt or go under.

        Then perhaps a much smaller BBC News organisation can be brought under control.

    ‘BBC accused of selectively editing Trump clip from day of Capitol attack’

    Having said that the Guardian twists it in the BBC’s defence….they were only trying to make things clearer that Trump encouraged violence…lol…

    ‘The BBC has been accused of selectively editing a Donald Trump speech to make it appear clearer that he encouraged the US Capitol attack, according to a former external adviser to the corporation.’

    Birds of a feather I guess….and I’m guessing that will be their desperate defence….yeah but..all the right words…not necessarily in that order but he said them….

    Before the blood of the train stab victims had even dried Heidi Alexander was on Times radio lying about how safe train travel was. Something like …

    Only 27 incidents in a million train journeys blah blah

    Now today we find out a bit more how they manufacture these lies. Cambridge plod who detected the first train stabbing then went on to find out about the DLR stabbing, now today say Mr Williams also did the two knife incidents at the barbers shop in Peterborough. Then there was mention of a 14 year-old being stabbed.

    So there you have it. 5 knife incidents but only 1 detected until now. Almost like the statistics are like a 5 in 1 out washing machine.

    They say many a true word is said in jest

    Your Mr AsI tends to spoof the Financial Times frontpage for being printed as though in the form of a word search puzzle – the daily quest for the appearance of the expression “Far Right” being made too easy for us puzzlers by the corporate liberal globalist editorial stance of the pink paper.

    Be it in reference to Israel, Hungary, Holland… or the flippin’ Faroe Islands, the FT frets over the “far right” boogie man whenever and wherever in the world he may be.

    But today, well lookie here… right at the very top of the cover page, just under the masthead, there’s the teaser for the Gideon Rachman column: Far right finds winning power is the easy part (FT)

    This advert illustrated by a sketch of the FT’s favoured stary blue Euro flag looking slightly tattered.

    Too easy, FT. At least make a game of it. Tuck your daily “far right” reference away in some Briefing snippet half-way down the page.

    But what’s this… the FT’s cover feature photo is of New York mayoral hopefull Zohran Mandani (think younger brown Yankie Jeremy Corbyn – communism meets support for Palestine meets an actual muslim born and bred) and the headline to that reads: Final push Mandani leads New York race… Zohran Mandai, centre right… – naturally our Zohran’s politics aren’t centre right – even the American-style center right – that’s just his position in the photo.

    A bridge too far

    You have to smile when you notice beside the pic of: Zohran Mandani… walks across Brooklyn Bridge with supporters… – the FT’s go-to descriptor applied to his politics – I know what you’re thinking… “far left” – chance would be a fine thing: Polls suggest the 34-year-old democratic socialist will easily win today’s vote (FT) – “democratic socialist” – how cuddly cute.

    As the news broke your Mr AsI quipped how British train would-be assassins might be described in the media as a Barbershop Quartet from Inverness – riffing of course on the much celebrated prior case of the Welsh Choirboy.

    Well I never… :…terrifying ordeal at a barber’s hours before railway horror (Independent)

    Terrifying… but not terror-related, apparently. Officially.

      … and when they bring in all these special measures to stop the stabbings, you can be sure 80% of the inconvenience will be directed at white people instead of the ones who do the stabbing so disproportionately to their actual numbers. So 80% of the effort is immediately wasted.

      And of course our wonderful Plod will treat you like you are a guilty POS from the start. It’s a special relationship which only exists here in the UK. Everywhere else I’ve been, the police are always friendly.

      Because the shameless Leftie at the Guardian and BBC will start screaming ‘racists’ if they don’t.

    Some time ago David Walliams created a comedy character…..a middle aged woman standing, often in a supermarket, urinating all over herself and the supermarket floor whilst declaring ” oh , look, someone’s made a mess here”

    I have just listened to Rachel from accounts ,rambling but supposedly laser focus speech, blaming everybody but her for our troubles. Couldn’t help but think of that woman urinating all over herself.

    The BBC fake anti Trump edit is an appalling breach of editorial standards, in my view it should precipitate sackings at the very least. A very low point in a series of very low events for the ‘World’s Greatest Broadcaster’, what a joke they are.

    There was a news item regarding this on GBNews, the required leftie was the extreme anti Trump Stephen Pound who seemed to think there was nothing wrong with what the BBC had done. I’m afraid if the lefties can’t understand how wrong the BBC was to broadcast this we’re screwed.

      Even worse Flotsam, they released the program with it in a week before the 2024 election.

      It was a blatant attempt at election interference using deliberate misinformation. TDS of the highest order.

      Who’d have thought that after all the fuss they made about Russian election interference, it was actually the Leftist BBC who are the the dirty b@stards in all of that.

      No surprise to me at all. What disgusts me more than this is how all their lies are ignored by everyone who should be questioning them until the BBC are absolutely caught with their pants down. They they all fake outrage along with the groupthink.

      The BBC’s reputation is now in tatters. This one event proves all of their claims of being unbiased and the oracle of truth are complete lies. But of course that’s just another lie on top of all the others. Once a liar, always a liar.

      I wonder who – if anyone – will be thrown under a bus for this one so they can say everything is OK now : the bad apple is gone.

      Some have huge platforms on traditional media as well. Eamonn Holmes was criticised for appearing to give some credence to the 5G conspiracy theorists on ITV This Morning.

      “What I don’t accept is mainstream media immediately slapping that down as not true when they don’t know it’s not true,” he said.

      Mr Holmes later apologised and Ofcom “issued guidance” to ITV, deeming the comments “ill-judged”.

    Earlier I took a quick gander at their news channel to see if there was any mention of this latest humiliating exposure of their deceit. There wasn’t.

    However, I did pick up some really crucial information about some celebrity (I’d never heard of) on Strictly and Tommy Robinson was due in court facing a terrorist related charge.

    Why Keir Starmer can’t define the working class

    https://socialistworker.co.uk/sw-view/why-keir-starmer-cant-define-the-working-class/

    Keir Starmer was floored by a simple question in an interview on Monday—“What do you mean by working class?”.

    It’s become a joke that Starmer endlessly repeats his “My Dad was a toolmaker” phrase.

    That’s a vague reference to the class feeling Labour feeds off.

      “The surname Zitouni is of Maghrebian, or North African, origin and is derived from the Arabic word “zaytoun” (زيتون), meaning “olive”. It likely reflects an ancestral connection to olive cultivation or trade, symbolizing peace, prosperity, and agricultural significance. The name is most common in North African countries like Algeria and Tunisia, and it can also be found in other countries like France and Croatia. ”

      Roy Larner, dubbed the Lion of London Bridge for heroically fighting the terrorists during the June 2017 attack, has allegedly been denied Government compensation for the injuries he sustained.

      Roy tackled the jihadis screaming: ‘F*** you I’m Millwall’, getting repeatedly stabbed in arm, neck and chest.

      But now the Millwall fan claims he has been told he is not liable for Government compensation for the injuries he sustained during the attack – because of unspent convictions.

      The London Bridge hero is currently sofa surfing – and two weeks ago, he told the News that he had still not had one-to-one counselling two years on since the attack.

      “A London-based nurse has been jailed for trafficking Nigerian women into Germany to work as prostitutes after subjecting them to “voodoo” rituals. Josephine Iyamu forced the five women to swear oaths to hand over money to her during “juju” ceremonies.
      Iyamu, 51, formerly of Bermondsey, was convicted of arranging or facilitating travel for sexual exploitation and perverting the course of justice.
      She was jailed for 14 years at Birmingham crown Court.”

    MP calls for new prayer room in parliament

    -26/10/05

    Sadiq Khan, the Labour MP for Tooting in London, is calling for facilities to be established in the UK House of Commons, so that Muslims working or visiting there will have somewhere acceptable to pray.

    His idea is said to be being ìseriously consideredî by the influential all-party Commons Administration Committee.

    Mr Khan explained: ìThe Anglicans are the only people among the staff and politicians at Westminster who have a place to pray. Even the Roman Catholics do not have somewhere they can use all the time.î

    He added: ìThe place needs to be dragged into the twenty-first Century. It is only right that parliament should provide a prayer room for people of other faiths.î

    One idea is that a multi-faith prayer room might be made available. For some Muslims the sharing of such facilities is difficult because of the presence or absence of particular images.

    THAT’S WHY THEY GET UP EARLY AND FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH?

    Imagine my surprise that we have the on going if not endless assurance from the always slightly bemused Clive” fighter for the Truth” Myrie that the BBC are so incredibly reliable , blah,blah,yawn.

    and yet……

    No mention anywhere on the BBC website ,of the curious bbc mix up ,with just too many clips of President Trumps words on 6th Jan 21…all put in a pot, stirred up and out came…what’s the problem…I hope nobody is suggesting it was done deliberately…. Trump said all those words and to paraphrase the old Eric Morecombe joke..Not necessarily in the right order or at the same time…
    its important that Clives funny advert is played again and again , that way we can rest assured the BBC is best at something.

    Mr Rodney Starmer won’t dare say anything to the BBC about their output,not with Rachel’s budget needing a spin.

    I recorded a live speech on the BBC News Channel, 8 months ago. During the BBC News live coverage of Donald Trumps speech. This statement by Trump was censored by the BBC. Trump said “We have had serious discussions with Russia, and have received strong signals that they are rea———-(Picture of the Capital Building for 4 seconds, with the clock changing to 03:48)———-[applause].

    I then found a transcript of the speech on the internet, to find out what the BBC had censored. The 4 seconds of the speech censored by the BBC read “ready for peace. wouldn’t that be beautiful, wouldn’t that be beautiful”

    Now the BBC has been caught editing footage to make it seem Trump was encouraging the fake Capitol riot, which included a 274 strong crowd of plainclothes FBI agents.

    A BBC Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by making Trump say things he never actually said by splicing together footage from the start of his speech, with something he said nearly an hour later: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/bbc-faked-trumps-jan-6-speech

    Easy when it’s not your money…..

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves has scrapped the £600,000-a-year ‘cost-cutting’ taskforce, known as the Office for Value for Money (OVfM), after it was widely criticized as a “gimmick” that failed to deliver results. The decision follows a critical report from MPs and criticism from politicians across the spectrum, with some labeling the taskforce a “waste of money” that was “ludicrous virtue-signalling”.
