Well, here we are again with the BBC in disgrace. The BBC have really done it this time. Bias over Gaza. Bias over US politics and President Trump. And we are going to get a load of BBC bias over AGW&CC with the COP30 ‘hoo-hah’ taking place in Brazil. Defund the biased BBC.
TTK and the Crew have slid back into britistan to âdo â the Cenotaph – its a pity they missed the burning of his effigy up and down the country – thereâs a fair old list on X of some pretty impressive âTTK guysâ ⌠but on the upside for TTK – he might have got fixed up with a few pretty Brasilian boys to replace the Ukrainians âŚ
Fed, yes it will be an escape for TTK to miss the Bonfire night burning of effigies of TTK. I liked the one burnt in Edenbridge, Kent that had a notice placed on the effigy ‘Starmer, the farmer harmer. đ
The far-left bBC are really in the proverbial now, and as far as I can tell, we have a great week ahead, watching the wriggling, the squirming, the excuses, the snarls, and the outcome – who knows…, but yes, it is certainly going to be a triumph for Indigenous British Citizens!
How many more of their own dainty little (left) feet do beeboids have to shoot at?
(I’m planning to go out tomorrow, and collect a jacket I left at a chum’s house, (he and his charming wife were extremely generous with the Chablis – and the Cotes de Rhone), get a haircut, the buy some gruel in Waitrose as a penance for enjoying living in Rodney’s Staziland, well away from Londonistan, where the Maaaare twonk is absent, but still living it up with rather unpleasant foreigners from God knows where, but, I’m safe here, in the sticks with normals living around me!)
STARTS Donald Trumpâs White House has accused the BBC of âpurposeful dishonestyâ amid a row over bias at the broadcaster.
It launched its attack over the way the corporation selectively edited a speech made by the president, dismissing it as â100 per cent fake newsâ.
British taxpayers were being âforced to foot the bill for a Leftist propaganda machineâ, said Karoline Leavitt, Mr Trumpâs press secretary.
She delivered the verdict after The Telegraph disclosed that a Panorama documentary had spliced together different parts of a speech by Mr Trump and made it seem as though he had told supporters to go to the Capitol and âfight like hellâ on the day of the 2021 riot.
Ms Leavitt, the presidentâs principal spokesman, told The Telegraph: âThis purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.
âEvery time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, it ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States and all that heâs doing to make America better and the world a safer place.â
However, she stopped short of demanding an end to the BBC licence fee.
A whistleblowerâs dossier described how the Panorama programme, broadcast just before last yearâs US election, âcompletely misledâ viewers by showing the president telling a crowd that he was going to walk with them to the Capitol to âfight like hellâ.
His words were taken from his address on Jan 6 2021, before some of his supporters attacked the US Capitol building.
It omitted a section from his speech, when he urged them to make their voices heard âpeacefullyâ.
âToo much trustâ in word of Hamas
Mr Trump and his allies have often railed at what they see as bias among major news outlets and it is not the first time the White House has criticised the BBC. In June, Ms Leavitt accused the corporation of bias in its coverage of Gaza, and of putting too much trust in the word of Hamas.
âUnfortunately, unlike some in the media, we donât take the word of Hamas as total truth,â Ms Leavitt told a White House briefing. âWe like to look into it when they speak ⌠unlike the BBC.â
She brandished a printout of stories published on the BBC website a day earlier, and described how headlines about deaths at a food distribution site had changed from claiming an Israeli tank had killed 26 people, to 21 people, to gunfire killing 31.
It came as Boris Johnson said he would stop paying the BBC licence fee unless Tim Davie, the director-general, resigned or explained the bias engulfing the broadcaster.
The former prime minister urged others to join him and not pay the annual levy unless Mr Davie came up with a âconvincing explanationâ after a week of Telegraph disclosures of one-sided reporting over Gaza, censorship of the trans debate, as well as the doctoring of Mr Trumpâs speech.
The examples were contained in a leaked 8,000-word letter sent to members of the BBC board by Michael Prescott, a former standards adviser, who wrote of his âdespair at inaction by the BBC executiveâ over widespread evidence of bias.
âStop the rotâ
Writing on Friday, Mr Johnson said: âIt is time for reporters to stand outside Davieâs house, in the time-honoured way, and shout at him: What is your response to the Prescott report? When did you first know that Panorama lied? Why did you do nothing about it?
âA few days of that and Davie should eventually emerge from his foxhole, and when he does, he should either give a convincing explanation for the Left-wing bias at the BBC, or else resign in favour of someone who will stop the rot.
âUnless he does so, I am simply going to stop paying my licence fee and suggest you do the same.â
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, told The Telegraph he would be raising the revelations in a meeting with Mr Davie later this month.
âI will be meeting Tim Davie in the next few days, at which I will be expressing my grave concern over the levels of institutional bias as revealed by these reports,â he said.
Mr Prescottâs letter also accused the corporation of âeffective censorshipâ of its reporting on transgender issues, and expressed concerns that BBC Arabic was downplaying the suffering of Israelis in the war with Hamas to paint their country as the aggressor.
He will also give evidence in Parliament about the bias he says he became aware of during three years on the BBCâs editorial guidelines and standards committee.
Sir John Whittingdale, the former culture secretary, said Mr Davieâs future was hanging in the balance.
âThere needs to be an immediate inquiry and whoever is directly responsible should go. Tim Davieâs position is certainly in question,â he said.
âIn order to restore confidence, he needs to react and be seen to be reacting and I havenât seen that.
âI would imagine that questions will be asked in Parliament when we get back.â
Baroness Morgan, another former culture secretary, said: âReally, at what point are the BBC going to get a grip on this? People pay a lot for the licence fee and this is not what they expect.â
Liz Truss, the former prime minister, added: âThe Telegraphâs work over recent days has exposed the damning truth about the BBC: it has been captured by the woke, globalist Left, which despises Britain and everything that made us great.â
âThe BBC shares a large part of the blame for why this country is a mess. I have come to the conclusion that the organisation is unreformable and needs to be put out of its misery.â
The BBC has said it does not comment on leaks and that it considers feedback carefully.ENDS
many comments suggest 47 should sue the BBC . The US justice system will be far less respectful of the BbC than a UK one – and the damages will be astronomical âŚ
BTW Rupert Lowe has apparently been granted a PMQ . He has been on X asking what the question should be .. perhaps it should be about the proven bias of the Far Left Islamic BBC âŚ
Sorry if this was mentioned before In Re Boris Johnson and his critique of the BBC .
Typical Tory .
He asked us to fill in a survey about the BBC , which we did .
Then he – they , the Tories , did nothing .
Itâs like all the talk they said about immigration, then did nothing to control it .
All the talk about standing up for our interests when in the EU , then paid up to their demands .
They need to be obliterated at election time , go out into the wilderness for some really pensive thought , and maybe come back when they fear the electorate more than they fear the BBC , EUrocrats , the UN , so called world opinion and this mythical â Britainâs standing in the world â and the fear of not looking populist . In a democracy .
I donât want so called grown up politics when this is just a euphemism for soft as sh1t on a rainy day big baby giveaway to to the most demanding.
I got very excited the other day to receive a letter from DWP saying I would receive ÂŁ100 winter fuel allowance. It was only on turning the letter over that I read that at best it was a âloanâ as it would be taken ÂŁ for ÂŁ in my tax. Now ok, I knew, I wasnât really getting the WFA, but how many older people are being conned into believing they have got the allowance back? Donât forget it was only by reading the back of the letter that the truth was explained. It is close to dishonest, the government telling pensioners in large letters they are getting money they are not going to get. I wonder how many letters were sent to people not getting the money and at what does it cost to send them?
Perhaps there is a Panorama programme there if the BBC could be bothered to investigate.
The nearest hint that the DWP is going to grab it back, is to get online, and who in their late seventies onwards is going to do that – the headline is plainly saying that we’re getting the WFA. The assumption is that the money is ours and the sneaky stuff on the reverse is yet another snidey kick in the teeth by this lying, cheating bunch of very wealthy lefties, screwing the British Citizens and snuffling in the trough of our taxes.
The downside is that the ÂŁ200.00 will pay for a couple of illegal rapists to sit on their foreign arses for a couple of days and wait for the rest of the benefits which will be poured down their throats.
Panorama will avoid this like the plague, and anyway, they’d never be believed as they are far from truthful, as has been shown last week.
It didnât copy the first few words but they were something like âno, it is not a loan, it is a payment to helpââŚâŚ
âŚ..with heating bills, but it will be reclaimed from those with a taxable income of over ÂŁ35,000. This repayment is automatically collected through your tax code for the following year, so it will effectively be taken back, though the initial payment is not a loan.
So it seems the BBC think that if they just ignore these accusations of bias, they can ride it out and everyone will forget about it.
Now Trump and the Whitehouse are on the case. The President of the USA directly accusing the BBC of fake news – with evidence this time. It should be huge. But the BBC are ignoring that one too.
Meanwhile the other arse cheek Guardian has a headline on the topic. Are they shocked and outraged at the BBC ?.
Nope : this is their headline summary of what is going on:
‘Boris Johnson trying to undermine BBC leadership, insiders fear after leak’
Not a single ethic to be found in any of them. They are just your typical low-life left-wing activists who lie as easily as tell the truth – and we are all finally getting to see their dirty washing.
UK’s Obligations for EU Staff Pensions Post-BrexitAs part of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement (finalized in 2019), the UK is responsible for its historical share of pension liabilities for EU institution staff (primarily under the Pension Scheme for EU Officials, or PSEO). These liabilities stem from the UK’s membership contributions to the EU budget, which funded two-thirds of the scheme (with one-third from staff salaries). The UK must cover its pro-rata share of accrued rights up to December 31, 2020, when the Brexit transition period ended. This is one of the largest ongoing elements of the “Brexit financial settlement” (often called the “divorce bill”).Total Estimated LiabilityThe UK’s share of the total pension liability is estimated at approximately ÂŁ20.6 billion (as of the latest UK government figures in late 2024).
Earlier estimates (e.g., 2018-2020) pegged the undiscounted liability at around âŹ10-12 billion, but this has risen due to actuarial updates, including longer life expectancies and scheme growth. The ÂŁ20.6 billion figure reflects the present discounted value, accounting for payments spread over decades.
Annual PaymentsPayments are not fixed annually but are calculated based on actuarial assessments of maturing liabilities (e.g., retirements and payouts). They form part of semi-annual invoices from the EU (April and September).
Recent examples:In 2024, the UK paid approximately âŹ150-200 million (around ÂŁ125-170 million) toward the main PSEO liability.
An additional âŹ29 million (about ÂŁ24 million) was invoiced in September 2024 for pensions of EU Members and high-level officials, with ÂŁ9 million paid that year.
Early post-Brexit payments (2021-2023) were higher (around ÂŁ300-500 million/year) due to initial lump-sum elements, but they taper as the scheme’s obligations are met. Future annual amounts will vary but are projected to average ÂŁ200-400 million in the near term, declining over time.
DurationPayments are scheduled to continue until around 2064, roughly 40 years from the end of the transition period. This aligns with the expected payout horizon for pensions accrued by 2020, based on EU actuarial models (e.g., from Eurostat).
The schedule follows the principle that no member state (including the UK) pays more or earlier than if it had remained in the EU. The UK has the option under Article 142 of the Withdrawal Agreement to settle early at a discounted rate, but it has not done so.
These figures are from official UK government statements and parliamentary briefings, with updates reflecting 2024-2025 fiscal data. The total financial settlement (including pensions) has seen ÂŁ10.6 billion set aside for future payments as of 2024, down from prior years due to currency fluctuations and progress. For the most current invoice details, refer to the UK Treasury’s annual European Union Finances Statement.
Will the latest crisis at the BBC result in any lasting and substantive change? In my view no. The âpile onâ by a few famous names eg Boris , is welcome of course even if very late and we may get a few sacrificial sackings and resignations , some empty promises to reinforce impartiality and some less biased people appointed to oversight positions.
But there will be no lasting impact on the bias in favour of Climate Change, Immigration, Islam, Globalism and no diminution of the bias against Trump , Israel, Britain and its culture , Sovereignty, Farage and Reform and of Populism anywhere.
The only way that ordinary Brits can effect change at the BBC is to stop funding it . But the BBC is beyond reform and needs to be closed down or made subscription only and for that to happen several million of its 20 million plus LF payers would have to cancel their DD. Even then the Labour government would prop it up with direct taxation.
To tame , or preferably kill the BBC , we need a government willing to do so. Vote Reform and hope that Nigel doesnât baulk at the jump!
But don’t worry, there’s heaps of compassion for the female criminal in the big hearted in-the-tank-for-Labour news tabloid: We hope she gets the care she needs… McCanns’ compassion for woman who harrassed them for 3 years (Mirror) – I guess they’re not concerned she’ll soon be free to harrass them all over again what with our somewhat lax prisons and their apparent revolving door policies.

Are the legacy media referring disparagingly to the likes of us keyboard warriors hereabouts, dear friends? Are they instinctually dismissive of anyone who might question the prevailing mainstream narratives? Or, having been duly chastened in the past, just wary of the McCanns’ somewhat litigious nature?

Why we went undercover for the BBC to expose crime in the Kurdish community (Kirstie Brewer, BBC News)

Nope, course not: Two Kurdish men agreed to go undercover for the BBC and expose a network behind illegal High Street businesses because the criminals are causing harm to the reputation of Kurds in the UK, they say. (Kirstie Brewer, BBC)

……… Manchester students deface poem by ‘racist’ Kipling
Published 19 July 2018
Students have defaced a mural featuring Rudyard Kipling’s If in a stand against his “racist” work.
The author’s 1895 poem was painted on a wall of Manchester University’s newly renovated union building.
But student leaders erased the work, replacing it with a piece by Maya Angelou in a bid to reverse “black and brown voices” being written out of history.
The union has apologised for failing to consult students on its choice of poem.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
âCause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
âCause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Digginâ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, Iâll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of historyâs shame
I rise
Up from a past thatâs rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak thatâs wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Camila tominey in the DT on the BBC denial that theres âsomething wrong â
STARTS The insouciance of the BBC in the face of this newspaperâs exposĂŠ of its outrageous bias speaks volumes. Once revered as the gold standard for impartial journalism, the corporation now seems unwilling even to investigate reports of its own decline. The BBC doesnât appear to think there is a story in the leaked memo revealing that it doctored Donald Trumpâs January 6 speech; that it âpushed Hamas lies around the worldâ; that it ignored experts to promote âwoke historyâ; or that its trans coverage was âcensoredâ by its own reporters.
In response to each damning revelation, a BBC spokesman has issued the same mealy-mouthed line about taking all feedback âseriously and carefullyâ. Yet this carefully choreographed corporate platitude misses the point. For those of us who pay the licence fee, and for contributors like me who have appeared on programmes such as Breakfast, Politics Live, Newsnight and Question Time, the pattern is unmistakable. Hubris is a huge part of the problem.

The corporationâs fundamental flaw is that it genuinely believes its journalism is superior to everyone elseâs. This righteous arrogance has fostered an institutional culture incapable of recognising its own failings. The BBC still clings to its self-styled image as the arbiter of truth, a cut above partisan media and the âgutterâ press. Yet in recent years, it has repeatedly been found wanting, both in editorial judgment and in its awareness of how its own biases appear to the public.
Consider this weekâs preposterous announcement that the BBC had upheld 20 impartiality complaints over presenter Martine Croxallâs decision to alter a live script on the BBC News Channel earlier this year. The original wording referred to âpregnant people,â but Croxall, introducing an interview about research on heatwave risks, changed it to âwomen,â rolling her eyes slightly as she did so. The BBCâs Executive Complaints Unit concluded that her expression gave âthe strong impression of expressing a personal view on a controversial matterâ.
Even the BBCâs own report on the ruling managed to misstate its findings. A correction was later added, clarifying that it had âmistakenly quoted the judgment as referring to âtrans ideologyââ rather than âtrans identityâ. As ever, the priority was to placate activist groups rather than confront the absurdity of the situation.
This episode encapsulates where the BBCâs priorities now lie. It seems more concerned with appeasing internal ideologues and lobbyists than with maintaining common-sense standards of accuracy or impartiality. The contradiction at the heart of the ruling is glaring: that it is somehow âcontroversialâ for the national broadcaster to describe a pregnant person as a woman. The BBCâs self-policing of language is less about neutrality and more about compliance with a narrow world-view.
These are the rabbit holes down which the BBC has willingly jumped in recent years. Whether on gender identity, colonial history, or climate policy, its journalists often approach complex issues not as dispassionate observers but as advocates for a predetermined moral stance. This has alienated swathes of the audience who once regarded the BBC as a trusted source.
I vividly recall appearing on The Andrew Marr Show for a newspaper review when a producer, half-jokingly, told me I would never be given my own BBC show because I had âtoo many opinionsâ. The irony is that Marr himself has never been short of opinions. The difference is that his views broadly align with the BBCâs internal orthodoxy: socially liberal, anti-populist, and instinctively suspicious of anything that smells of Brexit, nationalism, or conservatism.
As Iâve demonstrated on my own GB News Sunday politics show, I am just as capable as he is of setting aside personal views to challenge politicians of all stripes with equal rigour. But because Iâm a Rightie, I am anathema to your average BBC executive, who will always be more inclined to read The New Statesman than The Spectator.
Many BBC journalists strive sincerely for balance, current political editor Chris Mason being a prime example. But the problem is structural. The BBC recruits heavily from the same social and educational milieu: metropolitan, university-educated, Left-leaning graduates who share similar assumptions about politics and culture. When groupthink becomes the default setting, genuine diversity of thought becomes almost impossible.
This licence fee funded monoculture explains why the BBC so often misreads public sentiment. It misjudged the scale of support for Brexit, failed to grasp the frustration with lockdown, and continues to treat scepticism about gender ideology as a moral failing rather than a legitimate debate.
Its coverage of Donald Trump has frequently veered into editorialising, favouring scornful dismissal over clear-eyed analysis. By contrast, reports on Left-leaning figures are couched in the language of empathy. The âdemocratic socialismâ of New Yorkâs newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani was this week described by the BBC as âessentially meaning giving voice to workers, not corporationsâ. No mention, naturally, of the communist nature of some of his lunatic policies.
Critics of the BBCâs approach are often accused of âattackingâ public broadcasting. But accountability should be the cornerstone of journalism. The BBC has an obligation to reflect the full spectrum of the public who pay for it, yet it too often treats that duty as an inconvenience.
Much of the bias is subtle. It lies not only in what the BBC reports, but in what it chooses not to report, or how it frames a story. The consequences are profound. Public trust in the BBC has declined sharply. A 2024 YouGov poll found that fewer than half of Britons now believe the BBC is impartial. Among younger audiences and working-class viewers outside London, the figure is even lower. And it is all self-inflicted.
What the corporation fails to understand is that impartiality is not achieved through bureaucratic box-ticking. It requires intellectual curiosity, a willingness to challenge internal assumptions, and humility about oneâs blind spots. Instead, the BBCâs instinct is defensive. Each exposĂŠ is met not with reflection but with deflection, an insistence that critics simply âdonât understandâ its mission. How can they continue to lack introspection when they have presided over a series of scandals from Jimmy Savile and Martin Bashirâs Panorama deceit to the Huw Edwards affair, the pulled Gaza documentary, and even the âDeath to the IDFâ chants broadcast from Glastonbury?
The BBC still has a crucial role in British life but its survival depends on rediscovering what once made it great: balance, honesty, and courage in the face of political pressure from any direction. At the moment, it seems more like Sir Keir Starmerâs stenographer than the nationâs impartial broadcaster.
Until the BBC recognises that credibility cannot be restored through meaningless PR statements, but only genuine reform and transparency, it will continue to drift away from the public it is meant to serve. Bias is a betrayal of trust and trust, once lost, is far harder to win back than any debate over what defines a woman.ENDS
Comment – many on this site wonder how there are so few leaks from the BBC – and then a biggy comes along .
Apart from inbred cultural arrogance I guess the BBC has gone silent because of the fear of US legal action âŚ.
Moggie – judging by the sums paid to 47 from US broadcasters who have been caught telling fibs the amount the BBC will have to pay will be ⌠a lot ⌠particularly in the circumstances of the sin and cover up ⌠any one wanna make a guess ?
They are still totally ignoring the huge scandal against them.
It’s quite bizarre. I wonder what is going on. Could it be that they realise they have been caught totally red-handed and any attempt at defence will just incriminate them further ?.
I reckon the lawyers are in charge for this one. They are plotting some weasel way out.
I’ve said it a hundred times : is anyone actually proud to be gay ?. What a ridiculous slogan. It’s like saying ‘I’m proud to have one leg’. It makes no sense.
Some might see the second picture as showing oversexualized primitives celebrating dragging down a White British police officer to their animal level. But then they would be racist, wouldn’t they?
On the wall at broadcasting house:
‘If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear’
Which apparently includes blatant lies to push their own ideological agenda. I certainly dont’ want to hear them.
And an absolutely spot-on example of weasel words being twisted by the BBC as they do so often. What they did DOES fit that inscription !. An even bigger BBC lie than the ‘lie by omission’.

What Did We Fight WWII For?
Richard The Fourth

This is a stark reminder of how veterans actually feel about things, rather than the propaganda we get from the liberal mainstream…
Mahmood wants to reduce incentives that draw people to the UK, while making it easier to expel those with no right to be in the country.
But some in her party are against going down the Danish route, with one left-wing Labour MP saying it was too “hardcore” and contained echoes of the far right.
At the Labour conference in September, Mahmood promised to “do whatever it takes” to regain control of Britain’s borders.
During Trump’s first eight months in office, there have been fewer than 9,000 illegal crossings recorded each month, CBS reported. It is the lowest number of apprehensions since 1970, when border patrol agents stopped 202,000 people crossing the US-Mexico border unlawfully. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8wd8938e8o

Things getting a bit “stabby” [awful word, I know!] once again …
From the Guardian online (story by Jane Clinton):
“Woman stabbed in neck in ‘unprovoked attack’ in Birmingham city centre.”
BEGINS “A woman is in critical condition after she was stabbed in the neck in what police believe was âan unprovoked attackâ.
West Midlands police were called to Smallbrook Queensway in Birmingham city centre shortly before 9pm on Friday after reports of a stabbing.
The woman in her 30s suffered a âserious neck injuryâ and remains in hospital. Police arrested a man in his 20s near to the scene and he is in custody.
DI James Nix said: âWe believe this was an unprovoked attack and are working to understand why it happened. We will have officers in the area today to continue our investigation and provide reassurance.
âWe are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.â
The force added: âOur officers are at the scene carrying out inquiries as we try to establish the exact circumstances of what happened.â
Witnesses or anyone with information have been asked to contact West Midlands police by calling 101 and quoting log 5503 of 7 November.” ENDS
Qur’an 47:4 “When you meet the unbeliever, strike the neck” though this attack may of course be quite unrelated to that verse.
Just how many leftwing ‘comedy’ news programmes does the BBC have lined up for us? Seems like an endless resource.
Today we have ‘The Naked Week’ and despite Labour being in dire trouble and being actually in government you’d barely notice listening to this tripe…similarly the BBC itself on the cliff edge due, lol, to bias…this programme is ironically just pure ‘naked bias’ and a ‘comedy’ version of BBC Verify as it spent its time trying to prove Tories, Reform and Elon Musk wrong about everything. Naturally the whole programme is just leaning hard left and oozes disapproval for the usual suspects.
Funny thing is that when the Tories were in government the BBC ‘comedians’ just couldn’t find anything funny to say about the opposition parties…suddenly that has switched and the government just isn’t funny enough to find any jokes about…other than Reeves being boring.
And a huge story this week being the BBC caught out on so many levels absolutely corrupting the news and its broader output and yet…the only comment was a quick mention that of course led to an insult about Trump…..all roads lead to Trump in BBC minds….but let’s bury the bad news about our own.
Tiresome trash….and apparently people are still paying for it.
Wasn’t it the Guardian recently that concluded that only the left were funny because there were no right wing comedians?
It set me thinking about what comedy maust have been like in the Soviet Union, and, not unsurprisingly, in my view the then Guardian would have been able to make the same comment about Russians.
Therein, there might be a lesson in cause and effect for the Guardian.
2025 “I think it’s really unfairly got a bad rep. And I think that’s because in the news or on social media, people don’t want to talk about good things.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3lw9e9d34o Much of it, he believes, is rooted in an external and almost “ideological hostility” to the city’s ethnic diversity.

“Five local inquiries, which cannot compel the production of evidence, just will not do. Fifty towns were affected, not five. Bradford, where some of the worst abuse occurred, is refusing to co-operate with any inquiry at all. There has never been an inquiry in Bradford, because the council is refusing to participate.” https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2025-04-28c.33.0&s=bradford+council+rape+gangs#g34.0

A Labour MP has called for a public debate on the genetic risks of marriages between first cousins in Britain’s Pakistani community, after reports of an unusually high rate of autosomal recessive disorders among children near her constituency.
Ann Cryer, MP for Keighley in West Yorkshire, said on the BBC television programme Newsnight: âWe have to stop this tradition of first cousin marriages.â https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1298844/
Ms Cryer’s comments came after Bradford paediatricians noted an unusually high rate of autosomal recessive disorders among children. Peter Corry, a paediatrician at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, said an âinformal data collectionâ among colleagues showed that approximately 140 different autosomal recessive disorders had been seen locally in the past few years.
Pretty much a flow of uncritical sympathetic approval from the BBC as they feed us a reverential narrative about Bruce Springstein…who most people probably know little about, and care little about, in reality other than his most famous songs.
A good excuse, surely just a coincidence?, that it was open season on the Republicans and as usual…all roads lead to Trump once again on the BBC. Springstein doesn’t like him and on stage said Trump was ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous’…how many times could the BBC repeat that in one programme?….lol.
Springstein is anti-Trump [and anti-Iraq War]…thus he has heroic status in the BBC.
What is all this fuss about a sort of TV programme called something like ‘Tractors’?
Is it a sort of dumb ‘reality’ (sic) show, dreamed up by desperate Beeboids farting around and about Russia’s agricultural industry?
Not that I’ll ever watch the boring, incredibly unfunny stuff, as there are many more important things in life – like gardening, walking the hound, meeting chums for tinctures, pub quizzes, (we came last), etc…
Maybe the bBC could celebrate something like that – oh, hang on, it’s normal ‘Indigenous British Behaviour’, that isn’t in their little red instruction book for leftie students and their single parent*…

My radical recipe to fix the broken BBC By Robin Aitkin
(Today in DT)
“The truly depressing thing about the latest scandals to engulf BBC journalism is that no one is really that shocked. So many things have gone so badly wrong in the last few years, that the very term âBBC scandalâ has been devalued â our ability to be outraged has been blunted. Even so, this weekâs revelations should make everyone sit up and take notice”.
..
“For the BBC, the numbers are terrifying. Last year alone, it is estimated that as many as half a million households stopped paying, which represents a revenue loss of ÂŁ90m. The BBCâs income is bleeding away, so a new funding mechanism is urgently needed”.
…
Robust external oversight combined with radical retrenchment could produce a leaner, fitter BBC which could start rebuilding trust, but until that happens, we are looking at a grand old British institution in terminal decline.
The BBC should literally put their money where their mouth is….they tell us they are the most loved, respected and trusted media organisation in the UK….so put it to the test…fund it solely on subscription.
Hereâs old Yeller digging a deeper hole. And then falling through.

Your defence of the BBC would make more sense David if you explained that your wife was for many years BBC HR director ( may well be today) and that the BBC gives you a show on Radio 4 which is enormously helpful to your PR business.
Along with respected broadcaster ex staff like Sniffer Bacon.
The brand, and its deluded, compromised financial beneficiaries are in a death spiral of their own hubris.
Not wrong is he given that apart from all the mad wokery imposed upon everyone you have our ‘elite’ working hand in hand with an ideology that some might say was as bad, if not worse, than Nazism or Communism.
“Rochdale grooming gang leader who raped and impregnated 13-year-old escapes UK
The child rapist faces a lifetime ban from Britain as police attempt to locate him.”
According to the Daily Mail (and I would always believe the DM rather than the BBC)
âThe row over BBC bias deepened tonight after two of its leading presenters claimed that airing concerns about its coverage was part of a political campaign to ‘destroy’ the Corporation.
Nick Robinson’s remarks â later endorsed as ‘exactly right’ by veteran reporter John Simpson.
Well Mr Robinson and Mr Simpson if you know that there is a political campaign to get rid of your organisation, you make sure you run a clean ship (is that a mixed metaphor?). What you donât do is splice speeches to rewrite them to say things that were never said, you donât get the children of terrorists to do voice overs, you donât reprimand employees who are honest about biology or make claims for climate change that Wattsupwiththat frequently show to be wrong.
I was going to comment about Roger Bolton of BBC Radio 4 Feedback fame. He was on GBNews Saturday morning. He came over as a thoroughly obnoxious man. His excuse for the rewriting of Trumpâs speech was that Trump was a liar. I think he went on to say that the splicing of the speech made it say what Trump would have intended it to say (I could be corrected on that) because he became ever nastier and illogical as he tried to defend the indefensible.
Tonight the telegraph is reporting that the chairman of the BBC is writing to the parliament media committee to apologise for the corrupted Trump speech tape .
As I write this it sounds wrong because surely 47 is the harmed party – as a result i reckon the money 47 will get out of the BBC is rising –
The DG of the BBC and chairman are accused of covering it up – which in a fair world would lead to their resignation âŚ. Sacking ⌠but a Marxist TTK wonât throw any of their own under a bus âŚ
And the BBC’s disinformation was part of a long and relentless political campaign allied to the Democrats and Putin to get rid of Trump….as the BBC did with Boris…and Truss.
BBC Radio 4 This Week In Westminster politics show .
Two talking guests talking about “invest “in prisons .
Invest ?!
According to Collins dictionary it`s
spend ( money , time etc ) with the expectation of profit .
Not asked because it`s a meme beloved by the BBC , but how is money spent on prisons and judiciary an investment ? What are the financial returns on the pounds sent to the Department of Justice ? How does the ordinary Joe get in on this investment ? How does the prison system make a profit ? Has it paid taxes on the returns of this investment ? If it`s trading insolvent ( a crime ) who is sent to these investment prisons for doing so ?
I`m all for utilising the prisons for our benefit . I`ve always said that all our rubbish should be sent to our jails for the inmates to sort out into recycleable stuff from other .
To the BBC any money spent is Investment . I suppose it sees the telly tax as an investment . But the logic is stupid . It means spending money on anything to change any situation is an Investment . So spending money on cigarettes is an investment , spending money on car insurance is an investment , paying the Mafia for protection is an investment . Paying for bogus asylum seekers is an investment , paying for their translators is an Investment . Having some of them in prison is an investment .
Anyone fancy sending me money , I`ll drink it in the pub as your investment ?
As Philip says above, Taff, they’re haemorrhaging ninety mill a year these days, so they’ll have to do something pretty soon.
One assumes that TTK wants them eventually to self-implode, so he can shift the TV tax onto everyone, whether they watch the drivel or not, as that way he can get the next ‘Chancer’ to steal a few more quid and save having to keep the threatening goons on the payroll!
Throughout the night our “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” explained that the Government shutdown in the US would continue as Trump has dismissed the latest offer from the Democrats. In a statement, the listener could be under no illusion that Trump doggedly refuses to engage with the fig leaf offered by the Dems. That evil Trump?
So, the BBC’s version? Trump refuses to engage with the Dems. who want more millions $ put into Medicaid.
The reality? Trump refuses to finance Medicaid FOR (as I understand it) ILLEGAL MIGRANTS.
Legal ‘Dishonesty’ (in the UK) a simple test:
The Lord Chief Justice in R v Barton & Booth stated: âWe wish to endorse the respondentâs submission that the test of dishonesty formulated in Ivey remains a test of the defendantâs state of mind â his or her knowledge or belief â to which the standards of ordinary decent people are applied. This results in dishonesty being assessed by reference to societyâs standards rather than the defendantâs understanding of those standards.â
BBC? Dishonest as Hell. Continuing dishonesty despite the recent Trump issue.
It is an organisation that is deeply ingrained with instinctive terminal dishonesty. The only solution when the body corporate is riddled with cancer is to apply the Government principle of ‘Assisted dying’.
I’ve noticed this before when the BBC have overstepped the mark. You would expect them to be apologetic and be on their best behavior.
But they don’t : their attitude is ‘f*ck you’ and they do it even more. They look down on the peasant public with disdain and think THEY should decide what is right and wrong.
These arrogant lefties need bringing down a peg or two. They are still living in a bubble from 75 years ago. It’s time they were forced to answer to the people who are forced to fund them.
TTK is desperate to keep the BBC in its current leftie configuration, paid for by people under threat of a fine, as the bloated ‘news’ desk people are really the only bunch who actually support his failing government!
As far as the press is concerned, there’s just the Grauniad and its cartoon section, the Observerbog, and as hardly anyone even looks at the pictures in these sad rags, the useful idiots in W1A are the only outlet for the marxist message!
I’ll bet you five pence that the TV tax will be stuffed onto everyone before the non-existent ‘charter for confusion’ is altered beyond recognition!
Genocide is the intentional, systematic destruction of a group of people, including physical, biological, or cultural annihilation.
The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089
Prof Jay said: “No-one knows the true scale of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years. Our conservative estimate is that approximately 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full inquiry period, from 1997 to 2013.”

Ed Stourton on Sunday quizzing a Christian who aims to build a symbol of Christianity…apparently this might be a hate crime…divisive and too exclusive….this is the BBC mindset now….surrender your own British, Western Christian values and beliefs[which are hateful…backward and unpleasant as Mishal Husain called Christianity].
Stourton demanded to know why this was just for Christians…asking if something ‘so exclusively Christian was appropriate given we are not a Christian country any more and other faiths are flourishing’. He later forced the question again demanding to know if it was ‘right to build this when other faiths are flourishing?’.
A stance typical of the woke, wishy washy mentality that says ‘let’s not ‘offend’ any other people with our own culture but let them offend us’ which is destroying the West.
Stourton would never in a million years demand why a mosque or Muslim cultural centre wasn’t open for all faiths….in fact immediately following this story we had one about a large mosque being imposed upon a town in the Lake District….not a word about it being too exclusive or divisive.
Naturally Stourton was very supportive and positive and portrayed all those who dared to oppose the imposition of the mosque as racists.
No change at the BBC so far then despite all the furore about its very definite bias recently…though completely ignored by the BBC itself as the organisation refuses to make any comment until now.
LOL….BBC airing a clip of Olusoga telling us he would have been a ‘terrible traitor’. Could be right there…not in the way they intend though.

‘David Olusoga traces the story of the British Empire.’
Britain was only successful due to slavery…you owe us reparations as we built your country.
‘In the first episode, David Olusoga traces the story of the British Empire from its origins under Elizabeth I in the late 16th century, when England was a relatively poor country compared to the lucrative global empires of its European rivals Spain and Portugal, through to the emergence of private charter companies and the beginnings of an empire of both trade and settlement.
In Jamestown, he looks at evidence of the first English colonies in the Americas and their tobacco plantations, while in Barbados, he reveals how the mass production of sugar brought immense wealth to plantation owners and immense suffering to the enslaved Africans employed in the crop’s production.
In Bath, he sees how the plantation owners used their extraordinary wealth to build and buy the most fashionable properties of the day, while in India, he shows how the East India Company was able to take full control over the subcontinent in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly under the leadership of Sir Robert Clive.’

This redirection of MoD funds (they don’t have any funds except what the governement taxes off us) to what amounts to a non-military purpose PR exercise is indicative of a regime tendency of antipathy toward actual conflict.

Perhaps that’s why we only risk engagement in Proxy Wars these days. The middle eastern one we’re pretty squeamish about whereas the one that’s got white europeans on both sides we can occasionally forget for a long while then intermittantly get a bit gungho over.
The phrase “cathartic war” appears in the rather dystopian Martin Amis novel London Fields, where it is described as a term used by the Pentagon for a “limited war” intended to stem mass shortages and societal mayhem. Considering the robounding economic sanctions (rather more damaging to the european economy than the much heralded Trump tariffs) those supposed mass shortages and societal mayhem appear to be more on us than the Ruskies.

Well, here we are again with the BBC in disgrace. The BBC have really done it this time. Bias over Gaza. Bias over US politics and President Trump. And we are going to get a load of BBC bias over AGW&CC with the COP30 ‘hoo-hah’ taking place in Brazil. Defund the biased BBC.
TTK and the Crew have slid back into britistan to âdo â the Cenotaph – its a pity they missed the burning of his effigy up and down the country – thereâs a fair old list on X of some pretty impressive âTTK guysâ ⌠but on the upside for TTK – he might have got fixed up with a few pretty Brasilian boys to replace the Ukrainians âŚ

Just wait til folk find out that the bBC said that Trump said ‘drink bleach’ and that this was a lie and that Trump never said that.
So the fun starts – from the DT
STARTS Donald Trumpâs White House has accused the BBC of âpurposeful dishonestyâ amid a row over bias at the broadcaster.
It launched its attack over the way the corporation selectively edited a speech made by the president, dismissing it as â100 per cent fake newsâ.
British taxpayers were being âforced to foot the bill for a Leftist propaganda machineâ, said Karoline Leavitt, Mr Trumpâs press secretary.
She delivered the verdict after The Telegraph disclosed that a Panorama documentary had spliced together different parts of a speech by Mr Trump and made it seem as though he had told supporters to go to the Capitol and âfight like hellâ on the day of the 2021 riot.
Ms Leavitt, the presidentâs principal spokesman, told The Telegraph: âThis purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.
âEvery time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, it ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States and all that heâs doing to make America better and the world a safer place.â
However, she stopped short of demanding an end to the BBC licence fee.
A whistleblowerâs dossier described how the Panorama programme, broadcast just before last yearâs US election, âcompletely misledâ viewers by showing the president telling a crowd that he was going to walk with them to the Capitol to âfight like hellâ.
His words were taken from his address on Jan 6 2021, before some of his supporters attacked the US Capitol building.
It omitted a section from his speech, when he urged them to make their voices heard âpeacefullyâ.
âToo much trustâ in word of Hamas
Mr Trump and his allies have often railed at what they see as bias among major news outlets and it is not the first time the White House has criticised the BBC. In June, Ms Leavitt accused the corporation of bias in its coverage of Gaza, and of putting too much trust in the word of Hamas.
âUnfortunately, unlike some in the media, we donât take the word of Hamas as total truth,â Ms Leavitt told a White House briefing. âWe like to look into it when they speak ⌠unlike the BBC.â
She brandished a printout of stories published on the BBC website a day earlier, and described how headlines about deaths at a food distribution site had changed from claiming an Israeli tank had killed 26 people, to 21 people, to gunfire killing 31.
It came as Boris Johnson said he would stop paying the BBC licence fee unless Tim Davie, the director-general, resigned or explained the bias engulfing the broadcaster.
The former prime minister urged others to join him and not pay the annual levy unless Mr Davie came up with a âconvincing explanationâ after a week of Telegraph disclosures of one-sided reporting over Gaza, censorship of the trans debate, as well as the doctoring of Mr Trumpâs speech.
The examples were contained in a leaked 8,000-word letter sent to members of the BBC board by Michael Prescott, a former standards adviser, who wrote of his âdespair at inaction by the BBC executiveâ over widespread evidence of bias.
âStop the rotâ
Writing on Friday, Mr Johnson said: âIt is time for reporters to stand outside Davieâs house, in the time-honoured way, and shout at him: What is your response to the Prescott report? When did you first know that Panorama lied? Why did you do nothing about it?
âA few days of that and Davie should eventually emerge from his foxhole, and when he does, he should either give a convincing explanation for the Left-wing bias at the BBC, or else resign in favour of someone who will stop the rot.
âUnless he does so, I am simply going to stop paying my licence fee and suggest you do the same.â
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, told The Telegraph he would be raising the revelations in a meeting with Mr Davie later this month.
âI will be meeting Tim Davie in the next few days, at which I will be expressing my grave concern over the levels of institutional bias as revealed by these reports,â he said.
Mr Prescottâs letter also accused the corporation of âeffective censorshipâ of its reporting on transgender issues, and expressed concerns that BBC Arabic was downplaying the suffering of Israelis in the war with Hamas to paint their country as the aggressor.
He will also give evidence in Parliament about the bias he says he became aware of during three years on the BBCâs editorial guidelines and standards committee.
Sir John Whittingdale, the former culture secretary, said Mr Davieâs future was hanging in the balance.
âThere needs to be an immediate inquiry and whoever is directly responsible should go. Tim Davieâs position is certainly in question,â he said.
âIn order to restore confidence, he needs to react and be seen to be reacting and I havenât seen that.
âI would imagine that questions will be asked in Parliament when we get back.â
Baroness Morgan, another former culture secretary, said: âReally, at what point are the BBC going to get a grip on this? People pay a lot for the licence fee and this is not what they expect.â
Liz Truss, the former prime minister, added: âThe Telegraphâs work over recent days has exposed the damning truth about the BBC: it has been captured by the woke, globalist Left, which despises Britain and everything that made us great.â
âThe BBC shares a large part of the blame for why this country is a mess. I have come to the conclusion that the organisation is unreformable and needs to be put out of its misery.â
The BBC has said it does not comment on leaks and that it considers feedback carefully.ENDS
many comments suggest 47 should sue the BBC . The US justice system will be far less respectful of the BbC than a UK one – and the damages will be astronomical âŚ
BTW Rupert Lowe has apparently been granted a PMQ . He has been on X asking what the question should be .. perhaps it should be about the proven bias of the Far Left Islamic BBC âŚ

Sorry if this was mentioned before In Re Boris Johnson and his critique of the BBC .
Typical Tory .
He asked us to fill in a survey about the BBC , which we did .
Then he – they , the Tories , did nothing .
Itâs like all the talk they said about immigration, then did nothing to control it .
All the talk about standing up for our interests when in the EU , then paid up to their demands .
They need to be obliterated at election time , go out into the wilderness for some really pensive thought , and maybe come back when they fear the electorate more than they fear the BBC , EUrocrats , the UN , so called world opinion and this mythical â Britainâs standing in the world â and the fear of not looking populist . In a democracy .

Now ok, I knew, I wasnât really getting the WFA, but how many older people are being conned into believing they have got the allowance back? Donât forget it was only by reading the back of the letter that the truth was explained. It is close to dishonest, the government telling pensioners in large letters they are getting money they are not going to get. I wonder how many letters were sent to people not getting the money and at what does it cost to send them?
Perhaps there is a Panorama programme there if the BBC could be bothered to investigate.
Blimey Debs, I certainly hadn’t done that!
The nearest hint that the DWP is going to grab it back, is to get online, and who in their late seventies onwards is going to do that – the headline is plainly saying that we’re getting the WFA. The assumption is that the money is ours and the sneaky stuff on the reverse is yet another snidey kick in the teeth by this lying, cheating bunch of very wealthy lefties, screwing the British Citizens and snuffling in the trough of our taxes.
The downside is that the ÂŁ200.00 will pay for a couple of illegal rapists to sit on their foreign arses for a couple of days and wait for the rest of the benefits which will be poured down their throats.
Panorama will avoid this like the plague, and anyway, they’d never be believed as they are far from truthful, as has been shown last week.
Found this, Hope it helps.
I googled âIs the WFP a loanâ
It didnât copy the first few words but they were something like âno, it is not a loan, it is a payment to helpââŚâŚ
âŚ..with heating bills, but it will be reclaimed from those with a taxable income of over ÂŁ35,000. This repayment is automatically collected through your tax code for the following year, so it will effectively be taken back, though the initial payment is not a loan.

So it seems the BBC think that if they just ignore these accusations of bias, they can ride it out and everyone will forget about it.
Now Trump and the Whitehouse are on the case. The President of the USA directly accusing the BBC of fake news – with evidence this time. It should be huge. But the BBC are ignoring that one too.
Meanwhile the other arse cheek Guardian has a headline on the topic. Are they shocked and outraged at the BBC ?.
Nope : this is their headline summary of what is going on:
‘Boris Johnson trying to undermine BBC leadership, insiders fear after leak’
Not a single ethic to be found in any of them. They are just your typical low-life left-wing activists who lie as easily as tell the truth – and we are all finally getting to see their dirty washing.
Divorce eh?
UK’s Obligations for EU Staff Pensions Post-BrexitAs part of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement (finalized in 2019), the UK is responsible for its historical share of pension liabilities for EU institution staff (primarily under the Pension Scheme for EU Officials, or PSEO). These liabilities stem from the UK’s membership contributions to the EU budget, which funded two-thirds of the scheme (with one-third from staff salaries). The UK must cover its pro-rata share of accrued rights up to December 31, 2020, when the Brexit transition period ended. This is one of the largest ongoing elements of the “Brexit financial settlement” (often called the “divorce bill”).Total Estimated LiabilityThe UK’s share of the total pension liability is estimated at approximately ÂŁ20.6 billion (as of the latest UK government figures in late 2024).
Earlier estimates (e.g., 2018-2020) pegged the undiscounted liability at around âŹ10-12 billion, but this has risen due to actuarial updates, including longer life expectancies and scheme growth. The ÂŁ20.6 billion figure reflects the present discounted value, accounting for payments spread over decades.
Annual PaymentsPayments are not fixed annually but are calculated based on actuarial assessments of maturing liabilities (e.g., retirements and payouts). They form part of semi-annual invoices from the EU (April and September).
Recent examples:In 2024, the UK paid approximately âŹ150-200 million (around ÂŁ125-170 million) toward the main PSEO liability.
An additional âŹ29 million (about ÂŁ24 million) was invoiced in September 2024 for pensions of EU Members and high-level officials, with ÂŁ9 million paid that year.
Early post-Brexit payments (2021-2023) were higher (around ÂŁ300-500 million/year) due to initial lump-sum elements, but they taper as the scheme’s obligations are met. Future annual amounts will vary but are projected to average ÂŁ200-400 million in the near term, declining over time.
DurationPayments are scheduled to continue until around 2064, roughly 40 years from the end of the transition period. This aligns with the expected payout horizon for pensions accrued by 2020, based on EU actuarial models (e.g., from Eurostat).
The schedule follows the principle that no member state (including the UK) pays more or earlier than if it had remained in the EU. The UK has the option under Article 142 of the Withdrawal Agreement to settle early at a discounted rate, but it has not done so.
These figures are from official UK government statements and parliamentary briefings, with updates reflecting 2024-2025 fiscal data. The total financial settlement (including pensions) has seen ÂŁ10.6 billion set aside for future payments as of 2024, down from prior years due to currency fluctuations and progress. For the most current invoice details, refer to the UK Treasury’s annual European Union Finances Statement.
Pay per mile tax is about control – The EV bait & switch
Will the latest crisis at the BBC result in any lasting and substantive change? In my view no. The âpile onâ by a few famous names eg Boris , is welcome of course even if very late and we may get a few sacrificial sackings and resignations , some empty promises to reinforce impartiality and some less biased people appointed to oversight positions.
But there will be no lasting impact on the bias in favour of Climate Change, Immigration, Islam, Globalism and no diminution of the bias against Trump , Israel, Britain and its culture , Sovereignty, Farage and Reform and of Populism anywhere.
The only way that ordinary Brits can effect change at the BBC is to stop funding it . But the BBC is beyond reform and needs to be closed down or made subscription only and for that to happen several million of its 20 million plus LF payers would have to cancel their DD. Even then the Labour government would prop it up with direct taxation.
To tame , or preferably kill the BBC , we need a government willing to do so. Vote Reform and hope that Nigel doesnât baulk at the jump!

But don’t worry, there’s heaps of compassion for the female criminal in the big hearted in-the-tank-for-Labour news tabloid: We hope she gets the care she needs… McCanns’ compassion for woman who harrassed them for 3 years (Mirror) – I guess they’re not concerned she’ll soon be free to harrass them all over again what with our somewhat lax prisons and their apparent revolving door policies.

And there’s plenty of mitigating circumstance about these days to help exonerate the female criminal: Social media trolls fuelled delusions of ‘Polish Maddie’… An army of online conspiracy theorists… (the ever-excitable Daily Mail)

Manchester students deface poem by ‘racist’ Kipling
Published 19 July 2018
Students have defaced a mural featuring Rudyard Kipling’s If in a stand against his “racist” work.
The author’s 1895 poem was painted on a wall of Manchester University’s newly renovated union building.
But student leaders erased the work, replacing it with a piece by Maya Angelou in a bid to reverse “black and brown voices” being written out of history.
The union has apologised for failing to consult students on its choice of poem.
Willing to bet that the “piece” by Maya Angelou will not be remembered in 130 years time
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
âCause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
âCause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Digginâ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, Iâll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of historyâs shame
I rise
Up from a past thatâs rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak thatâs wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Camila tominey in the DT on the BBC denial that theres âsomething wrong â
STARTS The insouciance of the BBC in the face of this newspaperâs exposĂŠ of its outrageous bias speaks volumes. Once revered as the gold standard for impartial journalism, the corporation now seems unwilling even to investigate reports of its own decline. The BBC doesnât appear to think there is a story in the leaked memo revealing that it doctored Donald Trumpâs January 6 speech; that it âpushed Hamas lies around the worldâ; that it ignored experts to promote âwoke historyâ; or that its trans coverage was âcensoredâ by its own reporters.
In response to each damning revelation, a BBC spokesman has issued the same mealy-mouthed line about taking all feedback âseriously and carefullyâ. Yet this carefully choreographed corporate platitude misses the point. For those of us who pay the licence fee, and for contributors like me who have appeared on programmes such as Breakfast, Politics Live, Newsnight and Question Time, the pattern is unmistakable. Hubris is a huge part of the problem.

The corporationâs fundamental flaw is that it genuinely believes its journalism is superior to everyone elseâs. This righteous arrogance has fostered an institutional culture incapable of recognising its own failings. The BBC still clings to its self-styled image as the arbiter of truth, a cut above partisan media and the âgutterâ press. Yet in recent years, it has repeatedly been found wanting, both in editorial judgment and in its awareness of how its own biases appear to the public.
Consider this weekâs preposterous announcement that the BBC had upheld 20 impartiality complaints over presenter Martine Croxallâs decision to alter a live script on the BBC News Channel earlier this year. The original wording referred to âpregnant people,â but Croxall, introducing an interview about research on heatwave risks, changed it to âwomen,â rolling her eyes slightly as she did so. The BBCâs Executive Complaints Unit concluded that her expression gave âthe strong impression of expressing a personal view on a controversial matterâ.
Even the BBCâs own report on the ruling managed to misstate its findings. A correction was later added, clarifying that it had âmistakenly quoted the judgment as referring to âtrans ideologyââ rather than âtrans identityâ. As ever, the priority was to placate activist groups rather than confront the absurdity of the situation.
This episode encapsulates where the BBCâs priorities now lie. It seems more concerned with appeasing internal ideologues and lobbyists than with maintaining common-sense standards of accuracy or impartiality. The contradiction at the heart of the ruling is glaring: that it is somehow âcontroversialâ for the national broadcaster to describe a pregnant person as a woman. The BBCâs self-policing of language is less about neutrality and more about compliance with a narrow world-view.
These are the rabbit holes down which the BBC has willingly jumped in recent years. Whether on gender identity, colonial history, or climate policy, its journalists often approach complex issues not as dispassionate observers but as advocates for a predetermined moral stance. This has alienated swathes of the audience who once regarded the BBC as a trusted source.
I vividly recall appearing on The Andrew Marr Show for a newspaper review when a producer, half-jokingly, told me I would never be given my own BBC show because I had âtoo many opinionsâ. The irony is that Marr himself has never been short of opinions. The difference is that his views broadly align with the BBCâs internal orthodoxy: socially liberal, anti-populist, and instinctively suspicious of anything that smells of Brexit, nationalism, or conservatism.
As Iâve demonstrated on my own GB News Sunday politics show, I am just as capable as he is of setting aside personal views to challenge politicians of all stripes with equal rigour. But because Iâm a Rightie, I am anathema to your average BBC executive, who will always be more inclined to read The New Statesman than The Spectator.
Many BBC journalists strive sincerely for balance, current political editor Chris Mason being a prime example. But the problem is structural. The BBC recruits heavily from the same social and educational milieu: metropolitan, university-educated, Left-leaning graduates who share similar assumptions about politics and culture. When groupthink becomes the default setting, genuine diversity of thought becomes almost impossible.
This licence fee funded monoculture explains why the BBC so often misreads public sentiment. It misjudged the scale of support for Brexit, failed to grasp the frustration with lockdown, and continues to treat scepticism about gender ideology as a moral failing rather than a legitimate debate.
Its coverage of Donald Trump has frequently veered into editorialising, favouring scornful dismissal over clear-eyed analysis. By contrast, reports on Left-leaning figures are couched in the language of empathy. The âdemocratic socialismâ of New Yorkâs newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani was this week described by the BBC as âessentially meaning giving voice to workers, not corporationsâ. No mention, naturally, of the communist nature of some of his lunatic policies.
Critics of the BBCâs approach are often accused of âattackingâ public broadcasting. But accountability should be the cornerstone of journalism. The BBC has an obligation to reflect the full spectrum of the public who pay for it, yet it too often treats that duty as an inconvenience.
Much of the bias is subtle. It lies not only in what the BBC reports, but in what it chooses not to report, or how it frames a story. The consequences are profound. Public trust in the BBC has declined sharply. A 2024 YouGov poll found that fewer than half of Britons now believe the BBC is impartial. Among younger audiences and working-class viewers outside London, the figure is even lower. And it is all self-inflicted.
What the corporation fails to understand is that impartiality is not achieved through bureaucratic box-ticking. It requires intellectual curiosity, a willingness to challenge internal assumptions, and humility about oneâs blind spots. Instead, the BBCâs instinct is defensive. Each exposĂŠ is met not with reflection but with deflection, an insistence that critics simply âdonât understandâ its mission. How can they continue to lack introspection when they have presided over a series of scandals from Jimmy Savile and Martin Bashirâs Panorama deceit to the Huw Edwards affair, the pulled Gaza documentary, and even the âDeath to the IDFâ chants broadcast from Glastonbury?
The BBC still has a crucial role in British life but its survival depends on rediscovering what once made it great: balance, honesty, and courage in the face of political pressure from any direction. At the moment, it seems more like Sir Keir Starmerâs stenographer than the nationâs impartial broadcaster.
Until the BBC recognises that credibility cannot be restored through meaningless PR statements, but only genuine reform and transparency, it will continue to drift away from the public it is meant to serve. Bias is a betrayal of trust and trust, once lost, is far harder to win back than any debate over what defines a woman.ENDS

BEGINS “A woman is in critical condition after she was stabbed in the neck in what police believe was âan unprovoked attackâ.
West Midlands police were called to Smallbrook Queensway in Birmingham city centre shortly before 9pm on Friday after reports of a stabbing.
The woman in her 30s suffered a âserious neck injuryâ and remains in hospital. Police arrested a man in his 20s near to the scene and he is in custody.
DI James Nix said: âWe believe this was an unprovoked attack and are working to understand why it happened. We will have officers in the area today to continue our investigation and provide reassurance.
âWe are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.â
The force added: âOur officers are at the scene carrying out inquiries as we try to establish the exact circumstances of what happened.â
Witnesses or anyone with information have been asked to contact West Midlands police by calling 101 and quoting log 5503 of 7 November.” ENDS

Today we have ‘The Naked Week’ and despite Labour being in dire trouble and being actually in government you’d barely notice listening to this tripe…similarly the BBC itself on the cliff edge due, lol, to bias…this programme is ironically just pure ‘naked bias’ and a ‘comedy’ version of BBC Verify as it spent its time trying to prove Tories, Reform and Elon Musk wrong about everything. Naturally the whole programme is just leaning hard left and oozes disapproval for the usual suspects.
Funny thing is that when the Tories were in government the BBC ‘comedians’ just couldn’t find anything funny to say about the opposition parties…suddenly that has switched and the government just isn’t funny enough to find any jokes about…other than Reeves being boring.

Labour said Lucy Frazer’s interview with Sky News showed she was the “latest in a long line of Secretaries of State for Culture Wars”, and the government is intent on “attacking and undermining” the BBC.
Wasn’t it the Guardian recently that concluded that only the left were funny because there were no right wing comedians?
It set me thinking about what comedy maust have been like in the Soviet Union, and, not unsurprisingly, in my view the then Guardian would have been able to make the same comment about Russians.
Therein, there might be a lesson in cause and effect for the Guardian.
Give it to a local PIE group to promote Harriet Harmon and her Party!

Much of it, he believes, is rooted in an external and almost “ideological hostility” to the city’s ethnic diversity.

“Five local inquiries, which cannot compel the production of evidence, just will not do. Fifty towns were affected, not five. Bradford, where some of the worst abuse occurred, is refusing to co-operate with any inquiry at all. There has never been an inquiry in Bradford, because the council is refusing to participate.”

A Labour MP has called for a public debate on the genetic risks of marriages between first cousins in Britain’s Pakistani community, after reports of an unusually high rate of autosomal recessive disorders among children near her constituency.
Ann Cryer, MP for Keighley in West Yorkshire, said on the BBC television programme Newsnight: âWe have to stop this tradition of first cousin marriages.â
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1298844/
Ms Cryer’s comments came after Bradford paediatricians noted an unusually high rate of autosomal recessive disorders among children. Peter Corry, a paediatrician at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, said an âinformal data collectionâ among colleagues showed that approximately 140 different autosomal recessive disorders had been seen locally in the past few years.
Pretty much a flow of uncritical sympathetic approval from the BBC as they feed us a reverential narrative about Bruce Springstein…who most people probably know little about, and care little about, in reality other than his most famous songs.
A good excuse, surely just a coincidence?, that it was open season on the Republicans and as usual…all roads lead to Trump once again on the BBC. Springstein doesn’t like him and on stage said Trump was ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous’…how many times could the BBC repeat that in one programme?….lol.
Springstein is anti-Trump [and anti-Iraq War]…thus he has heroic status in the BBC.

What is all this fuss about a sort of TV programme called something like ‘Tractors’?
Is it a sort of dumb ‘reality’ (sic) show, dreamed up by desperate Beeboids farting around and about Russia’s agricultural industry?
Not that I’ll ever watch the boring, incredibly unfunny stuff, as there are many more important things in life – like gardening, walking the hound, meeting chums for tinctures, pub quizzes, (we came last), etc…
Maybe the bBC could celebrate something like that – oh, hang on, it’s normal ‘Indigenous British Behaviour’, that isn’t in their little red instruction book for leftie students and their single parent*…

My radical recipe to fix the broken BBC By Robin Aitkin

(Today in DT)
“The truly depressing thing about the latest scandals to engulf BBC journalism is that no one is really that shocked. So many things have gone so badly wrong in the last few years, that the very term âBBC scandalâ has been devalued â our ability to be outraged has been blunted. Even so, this weekâs revelations should make everyone sit up and take notice”.
..
“For the BBC, the numbers are terrifying. Last year alone, it is estimated that as many as half a million households stopped paying, which represents a revenue loss of ÂŁ90m. The BBCâs income is bleeding away, so a new funding mechanism is urgently needed”.
…
Robust external oversight combined with radical retrenchment could produce a leaner, fitter BBC which could start rebuilding trust, but until that happens, we are looking at a grand old British institution in terminal decline.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2025/11/08/how-to-fix-the-broken-bbc/
The BBC should literally put their money where their mouth is….they tell us they are the most loved, respected and trusted media organisation in the UK….so put it to the test…fund it solely on subscription.

Your defence of the BBC would make more sense David if you explained that your wife was for many years BBC HR director ( may well be today) and that the BBC gives you a show on Radio 4 which is enormously helpful to your PR business.
Along with respected broadcaster ex staff like Sniffer Bacon.
The brand, and its deluded, compromised financial beneficiaries are in a death spiral of their own hubris.

Not wrong is he given that apart from all the mad wokery imposed upon everyone you have our ‘elite’ working hand in hand with an ideology that some might say was as bad, if not worse, than Nazism or Communism.

“Rochdale grooming gang leader who raped and impregnated 13-year-old escapes UK
The child rapist faces a lifetime ban from Britain as police attempt to locate him.”
According to the Daily Mail (and I would always believe the DM rather than the BBC)
âThe row over BBC bias deepened tonight after two of its leading presenters claimed that airing concerns about its coverage was part of a political campaign to ‘destroy’ the Corporation.
Nick Robinson’s remarks â later endorsed as ‘exactly right’ by veteran reporter John Simpson.
Well Mr Robinson and Mr Simpson if you know that there is a political campaign to get rid of your organisation, you make sure you run a clean ship (is that a mixed metaphor?). What you donât do is splice speeches to rewrite them to say things that were never said, you donât get the children of terrorists to do voice overs, you donât reprimand employees who are honest about biology or make claims for climate change that Wattsupwiththat frequently show to be wrong.
I was going to comment about Roger Bolton of BBC Radio 4 Feedback fame. He was on GBNews Saturday morning. He came over as a thoroughly obnoxious man. His excuse for the rewriting of Trumpâs speech was that Trump was a liar. I think he went on to say that the splicing of the speech made it say what Trump would have intended it to say (I could be corrected on that) because he became ever nastier and illogical as he tried to defend the indefensible.
Tonight the telegraph is reporting that the chairman of the BBC is writing to the parliament media committee to apologise for the corrupted Trump speech tape .
As I write this it sounds wrong because surely 47 is the harmed party – as a result i reckon the money 47 will get out of the BBC is rising –
The DG of the BBC and chairman are accused of covering it up – which in a fair world would lead to their resignation âŚ. Sacking ⌠but a Marxist TTK wonât throw any of their own under a bus âŚ
Iirc the BBC has before tried to claim that its ânewsâ was something that someone âmight have saidâ, rather than what actually was said.
It was noted here, but they sailed on then.
Remember âenhancing the narrativeâ?
Now, I am hoping not.
Eventually the lack of clothes on the Emperor reveals too much, too often for the public to be fooled.
And the BBC’s disinformation was part of a long and relentless political campaign allied to the Democrats and Putin to get rid of Trump….as the BBC did with Boris…and Truss.
BBC Radio 4 This Week In Westminster politics show .
Two talking guests talking about “invest “in prisons .
Invest ?!
According to Collins dictionary it`s
spend ( money , time etc ) with the expectation of profit .
Not asked because it`s a meme beloved by the BBC , but how is money spent on prisons and judiciary an investment ? What are the financial returns on the pounds sent to the Department of Justice ? How does the ordinary Joe get in on this investment ? How does the prison system make a profit ? Has it paid taxes on the returns of this investment ? If it`s trading insolvent ( a crime ) who is sent to these investment prisons for doing so ?
I`m all for utilising the prisons for our benefit . I`ve always said that all our rubbish should be sent to our jails for the inmates to sort out into recycleable stuff from other .
To the BBC any money spent is Investment . I suppose it sees the telly tax as an investment . But the logic is stupid . It means spending money on anything to change any situation is an Investment . So spending money on cigarettes is an investment , spending money on car insurance is an investment , paying the Mafia for protection is an investment . Paying for bogus asylum seekers is an investment , paying for their translators is an Investment . Having some of them in prison is an investment .
Anyone fancy sending me money , I`ll drink it in the pub as your investment ?

I’ve been trying for ages to get something like this to ridicule the stupid layer of leftie cubiclist kid-space!

by bye bye
About time.
Scrap the outfit !
Why are we are forced to pay for it ? Its left wing propaganda!
As Philip says above, Taff, they’re haemorrhaging ninety mill a year these days, so they’ll have to do something pretty soon.
One assumes that TTK wants them eventually to self-implode, so he can shift the TV tax onto everyone, whether they watch the drivel or not, as that way he can get the next ‘Chancer’ to steal a few more quid and save having to keep the threatening goons on the payroll!
” just Stop the boats”!
Start by stopping the French fishing boats.
One boat in, one French fishing boat out.
Throughout the night our “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” explained that the Government shutdown in the US would continue as Trump has dismissed the latest offer from the Democrats. In a statement, the listener could be under no illusion that Trump doggedly refuses to engage with the fig leaf offered by the Dems. That evil Trump?
So, the BBC’s version? Trump refuses to engage with the Dems. who want more millions $ put into Medicaid.
The reality? Trump refuses to finance Medicaid FOR (as I understand it) ILLEGAL MIGRANTS.
Legal ‘Dishonesty’ (in the UK) a simple test:
The Lord Chief Justice in R v Barton & Booth stated: âWe wish to endorse the respondentâs submission that the test of dishonesty formulated in Ivey remains a test of the defendantâs state of mind â his or her knowledge or belief â to which the standards of ordinary decent people are applied. This results in dishonesty being assessed by reference to societyâs standards rather than the defendantâs understanding of those standards.â
BBC? Dishonest as Hell. Continuing dishonesty despite the recent Trump issue.
It is an organisation that is deeply ingrained with instinctive terminal dishonesty. The only solution when the body corporate is riddled with cancer is to apply the Government principle of ‘Assisted dying’.
Kill it off. Lesser treatment will not work.
I’ve noticed this before when the BBC have overstepped the mark. You would expect them to be apologetic and be on their best behavior.
But they don’t : their attitude is ‘f*ck you’ and they do it even more. They look down on the peasant public with disdain and think THEY should decide what is right and wrong.
These arrogant lefties need bringing down a peg or two. They are still living in a bubble from 75 years ago. It’s time they were forced to answer to the people who are forced to fund them.
TTK is desperate to keep the BBC in its current leftie configuration, paid for by people under threat of a fine, as the bloated ‘news’ desk people are really the only bunch who actually support his failing government!
As far as the press is concerned, there’s just the Grauniad and its cartoon section, the Observerbog, and as hardly anyone even looks at the pictures in these sad rags, the useful idiots in W1A are the only outlet for the marxist message!
I’ll bet you five pence that the TV tax will be stuffed onto everyone before the non-existent ‘charter for confusion’ is altered beyond recognition!

The BBC never fails to disappoint.
Ed Stourton on Sunday quizzing a Christian who aims to build a symbol of Christianity…apparently this might be a hate crime…divisive and too exclusive….this is the BBC mindset now….surrender your own British, Western Christian values and beliefs[which are hateful…backward and unpleasant as Mishal Husain called Christianity].
Stourton demanded to know why this was just for Christians…asking if something ‘so exclusively Christian was appropriate given we are not a Christian country any more and other faiths are flourishing’. He later forced the question again demanding to know if it was ‘right to build this when other faiths are flourishing?’.
A stance typical of the woke, wishy washy mentality that says ‘let’s not ‘offend’ any other people with our own culture but let them offend us’ which is destroying the West.
Stourton would never in a million years demand why a mosque or Muslim cultural centre wasn’t open for all faiths….in fact immediately following this story we had one about a large mosque being imposed upon a town in the Lake District….not a word about it being too exclusive or divisive.
Naturally Stourton was very supportive and positive and portrayed all those who dared to oppose the imposition of the mosque as racists.
No change at the BBC so far then despite all the furore about its very definite bias recently…though completely ignored by the BBC itself as the organisation refuses to make any comment until now.
This is not going away.
Linked to a current story I found this quaint piece.

Latest is his twist on the British Empire…naturally all from one side…Empire bad….everyone else oppressed victims.
‘David Olusoga traces the story of the British Empire.’
Britain was only successful due to slavery…you owe us reparations as we built your country.
‘In the first episode, David Olusoga traces the story of the British Empire from its origins under Elizabeth I in the late 16th century, when England was a relatively poor country compared to the lucrative global empires of its European rivals Spain and Portugal, through to the emergence of private charter companies and the beginnings of an empire of both trade and settlement.
In Jamestown, he looks at evidence of the first English colonies in the Americas and their tobacco plantations, while in Barbados, he reveals how the mass production of sugar brought immense wealth to plantation owners and immense suffering to the enslaved Africans employed in the crop’s production.
In Bath, he sees how the plantation owners used their extraordinary wealth to build and buy the most fashionable properties of the day, while in India, he shows how the East India Company was able to take full control over the subcontinent in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly under the leadership of Sir Robert Clive.’

Tales of the Riverbank

Reporting crime is a waste of time, say independent retailers (Talking Retail, October 2025)
This redirection of MoD funds (they don’t have any funds except what the governement taxes off us) to what amounts to a non-military purpose PR exercise is indicative of a regime tendency of antipathy toward actual conflict. See here a top soldier perhaps responding to the way the wind is now blowing:
UK’s defence ‘not the responsibilty of the military alone’… the Chief of Defence Staff has said… also requires “support of a society that understands” (Telegraph)
Somewhat of a (sorry) State of the Nation moment there -where our top brass perceive and perhaps codedly express something rotten in the state of Denmark (more of Denmark later).
Frankly, considering this present (sorry) state of our nation, who’d want to fight in its defence?
Perhaps that’s why we only risk engagement in Proxy Wars these days. The middle eastern one we’re pretty squeamish about whereas the one that’s got white europeans on both sides we can occasionally forget for a long while then intermittantly get a bit gungho over.
The phrase “cathartic war” appears in the rather dystopian Martin Amis novel London Fields, where it is described as a term used by the Pentagon for a “limited war” intended to stem mass shortages and societal mayhem. Considering the robounding economic sanctions (rather more damaging to the european economy than the much heralded Trump tariffs) those supposed mass shortages and societal mayhem appear to be more on us than the Ruskies.
