So – does the Far Left Anti British Anti Judeo Christian BBC apologise to President Trump for its corrupt ‘journalism ‘? Or does it continue to live in a fully biased world of its’ own ?

    I remember back in the day when Maggie started to sell off industries. The lefties hated it.

    Pickfords removals – for heavens sake, back then they thought the state could do a better job at moving your furniture.

    Same with the BBC. All that it provides, sport, music – WHY? we can manage without it, thank you very much.

      The primary Chinese steel investor in the UK is Jingye Group, a multi-industrial Chinese company that acquired British Steel in 2020 when it was on the brink of insolvency. However, the UK government took control of the Scunthorpe plant in April 2025 after Jingye indicated it planned to decommission its blast furnaces. The UK government’s intervention aims to save jobs and secure the future of the site, but Jingye remains the legal owner.

    Nicky Campbell keeps up the BBC’s vendetta and smear campaign against Trump…..if not appear in front of democrat committee…what’s he got to hide?….must be guilty….but why appear when he’s denied any such contact?

    Shameless attempt to drag Trump into this even with absolutely no evidence…..the released Epstein emails make no mention of any abuse by Trump….and, given the context, if there had been some it would definitely have been mentioned as Epstein and Wolff were looking to blackmail or pressure Trump.

    Let’s hope he sues and breaks them.

      Of course, Fedup, the Police and Crime Commissioners are a complete waste of money. However the Mayors are based in cities which overwhelm the surrounding rural communities. Getting rid of the commissioners, some of whom are Conservative, is to pass on their powers to the Labour power bases. You can be sure that the Mayors’ views on dealing with , for example, asylum seekers, or cannabis smokes will not be in line with the views of the countryside.

    “BBC News
    Various output, 9 November 2024

    We reported comments from a BBC interview with Bryan Lanza, described as a senior advisor to President-Elect Trump, that the incoming Trump administration will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than winning back territory. In fact Mr Lanza stopped working as an adviser for the Trump campaign after the election and was speaking in a personal capacity. We are happy to make this clear. 12/11/2024”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedback/corrections_clarifications/archive-2024

    “BBC News Channel
    3 July 2024

    We mistakenly said that Donald Trump had been “convicted of paying hush money to a porn actress as he campaigned in 2016”. This was after we had correctly said the case was about “falsifying business records”. We’re sorry for any confusion.

    I awoke to a King swirling in a toilet like a discarded tampax, the the last words of the tampax King where “We have no borders, windfarms are a blot but bring me money. Inshallah.”

    I dreamt of a Prime Minister who knew that a man had a penis, who looked forward to 650 debating for their constituents rather than DAVOS pay cheques and who wanted to smash some gangs like his USA President friend who he told the UK loves free speech.

    I awoke to a man saying everyone can have a cervix, Davos is better than Parliament and the only only gangs that got smashed were a bunch of Ukrainian arsonists whilst sending someone to prison for 31 months for a tweet, as a rapist from Epping gets 12 months (you can deleted a tweet, you cannot un-rape a child)

    Many things grate with me – particularly lies. A big lie spat out repeatedly is that the Marxists have a mandate . I would argue they got a landslide through accident – either tories so fed up with voting for a non Tory government or alternatively thd Tory / reform vote splitting and gifting a constituency to the Marxists ..

    In any event there is no real – true -mandate – and much of the reason that they became hated so quickly – there was no ;honeymoon ‘ – I can’t think of a single labour Marxist MP I have any regard for – yet alone affection ….

    But on that lies goes …..

    Led with a third world kid murdered by third world parents enabled by an incompetent socialist council – then a girl in a mental hospital who the NHS Staff ( heroes and saints) allowed to strangle herself with a bin bag ….

      Would they really get Thompson back? He was awful. I remember him giving evidence to the Leveson enquiry: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16677720

      His inability to string a coherent sentence together was outstanding:
      “The thinking was, errr, we, we, I, I took the decision to, ummm, with colleagues, erm, erm, and, errr, erm, after discussions with the, with the Chairman of the BBC Trust to, to do a review, ummm, because the BBC is, is the biggest journalistic organisation in this country, ummm, ummm, evidence had come to light, errr, of, ummm, this practice being used by other, ummm, errr, organisations, at least one other organisation, or individuals in that other organisation, and it, it seemed to me that, erm, that as part of the BBC’s overall desire to assure the highest possible standards of its journalism it’s appropriate to ask the question, errr, errr, errr, errr, is there any evidence, errr, errr, errr, that that, what, what, what we are told, errr, was happening at the News of The World has ever been done at the BBC.”.

      I love the way he went from “other organisations” to “at least one other organisation” and then to “individuals in that other organisation”? Make your mind up and get your facts right man!

      Perhaps the BBC should get a new motto. How about “Nation, errr, shall speak, ummm, errr, peace, errr, unto, ummm, nation”?

    Seems misrepresenting Trump has consequences for October Films They will have to try doing honest documetaries from now on (if they can)
    “Reform UK has pulled out of a BBC documentary about the party amid a row over the broadcaster’s misleading editing of a Donald Trump speech. ”

    “The Rise Of Reform had been due to air in January, fronted by Laura Kuenssberg, and was being made by the independent production company October Films.

    An internal memo sent to all Reform MPs, councillors and other senior figures, and seen by Sky News, told party officials to stop assisting with the documentary.
    A senior official wrote: “Hi all, as you will be aware October Films have been filming a documentary with Kuenssberg on the rise of Reform.

    “As part of this, they have been visiting and filming at Reform councils and speaking to our councillors and council leaders across the country.

    “We want to be clear that October Films have always conducted themselves professionally, and there is no suggestion from our side that they would maliciously misrepresent Reform UK. However, following the Panorama documentary the trust has been lost.”

    The email continued: “If you are approached to participate, we would strongly advise you decline. If you have already participated, we would strongly advise that you contact October Films and explicitly withdraw consent for your footage to be used.”

    “Meanwhile, a source close to October Films told Sky News the company was “shocked” it wasn’t told about concerns over the Panorama Trump documentary, despite an internal review at the corporation highlighting the misleading edit back in January.

    October Films worked on the one-hour Panorama special, Trump: A Second Chance with a majority in-house BBC team, which included a BBC director, executive producer, editor and lawyer.

    The source told Sky News: “October Films were not informed there was any question of integrity with the edit. Had they been given the opportunity, they would have insisted on the edit being changed.””

        Also who are the BBC director, executive producer, editor and lawyer? Have they been sacked Or are they free to edit some more dodgy stuff?

    The documentary — called Trump: A Second Chance? — was produced and directed in-house by Matthew Hill, a BBC documentary-maker, and edited by Karen Wightman, who has been editor of Panorama for four years.

    So have any of these people been sacked? Its fine getting rid of the useless lot at the top but if the people who actually made the documetary are still in place how can they be trusted not to distort their documetaries again?

    Under the terms of an agreement the BBC appointed an experienced in-house producer-director to work on it alongside a BBC visual editor.

    The pair created the film, making the decision to splice together the speech sections in good faith.” Eh?

    “According to Shah their aim was to help “convey [the speech’s] message so that Panorama’s audience could better understand how it had been received by President Trump’s supporters and what was happening on the ground at that time”.”

    We (BBC) regret that we are not able to offer a response at present, as your complaint does not currently meet the requirements of our framework. It may help you to read the BBC Complaints Framework on our website , which explains on pages 11-13 the terms of our service.

    OUR COMPLAINT:

    BBC is causing mental anguish 

    Dear Winston Smith at the BBC Complaints Department twinned with the Ministry of Truth as authored by your previous employee Eric Blair,

    If the BBC is causing mental anguish by producing News that contradicts reality then should it extinguish itself or at least give people the choice of paying the BBC rather than forcing them to pay a BBC TV TAX under Government protection and threat of prosecution (est. 180,000 in 2017)?

    Maybe you can do a BBC programme on it?

    With so many foreigners acting as MPs, councillors etc., in supposedly ‘British’ cities, I’m surprised that there are any women allowed to be in the public eye!

    Don’t they have archaic ‘laws’ about blokes being ‘superior’ all the time? How many entrances are there to all these foreign-led council chambers, and does the £58,000,000,000 refurb of the HoC have a selection of doors for various foreigners on both sexes and peculiar ‘religions’ to get in and out? Are the new bogs being designed to cater for all the oddities which turn up occasionally? And if they talk ‘bollocks’, what do the women call them?

    And do these aliens like being ‘interviewed’ by beeboids or much better female journos, who are real women, not Keith’s version, which is a sort of cowardly cop-out you expect from the chief ditherer? (‘What a head-dick’ – Elton John/Rowan Atkinson sketch)!

    Rumours that Reform will appoint the gorgeous Karoline Leavitt to be their spokesman are strenuously denied, but would be warmly welcomed!

    I might well put up the telegraph report in a bit

    How many more ‘accidental edits ‘ are going to be found ? How would a US court treat an organisation which is found to systematically broadcast lies about someone who is now POTUS ? How can a britistan government support such a defective and corrupt organisation .

    We – on this site – have been banging on about the bias- the deceit – the omission – the favourable treatment of the approved and the rest …..

    … but now the rot is coming publicly – bigly – and peeing off the most powerful man in the world …. No wonder they wish one of those assassins had got him ….

    Dump the TV licence – call it ‘civil disobedience ‘ mines been gone over 10 years …

    Oh dear. The BBC committed almost exactly the same Panorama ‘mistake’ two years earlier on Newsnight by splicing footage making is sound as though President Trump instigated the Capitol riots.
    I look forward to hearing from the BBC blohards , Robinson, Simpson, Dimbleby etc how there isn’t a trace of institutional globalist bias within the BBC.
    Their argument held no water before his second revelation , now if they continue to defend the BBC they look utterly ridiculous.

    We know Labour will do nothing to damage their prize propaganda foghorn but we must hope that a few tens of thousands more timid Brits pluck up the courage to cancel their Direct Debits for the Licence Fee as a result of the Newsnight hit job.

    Im not in the UK and don’t have a TV so I will monitor it from afar ….

    … let’s hope the Telegraph or GB News or – perhaps BBc Verify can find the next bit of TDS evidence ….

    I’m still puzzled by Sir Kier claiming 5 million more appointments last year at Prime Minister’s questions yesterday.

    Has the BBC questioned the figure? Or even tried to explain it? When I did manage to get an appointment at the surgery, I haven’t a clue whether the lady who saw me was a doctor or a cleaner. She did ask me whether I was taking antibiotics, and I had to explain that was the purpose of my visit.

    China used more cement in a three-year period (2011-2013) than the United States used in the entire 20th century. This staggering consumption is largely due to China’s rapid urbanization and large-scale construction projects, with estimates suggesting China used approximately \(6.6\) gigatons of cement during that period, compared to the US’s \(4.5\) gigatons from 1900 to 1999.

    The BBC abandoned impartiality years ago. A reckoning for the Covid lockdowns is overdue
    By Toby Young writing in DT today.

    “I won’t hold my breath waiting for ‘Verify’ to admit it was wrong”

    “My trust in the BBC collapsed some time before the leak of of Michael Prescott’s report for the Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee. To be precise, it was during the Covid pandemic when the Corporation decided its job was producing pro-lockdown propaganda rather than scrutinising the government’s pandemic response. The effect was to prolong the most disastrous public policy in the history of these islands.

    I won’t dwell on why ordering people to stay in their homes and closing non-essential businesses was such a mistake. To take just one example, the IMF estimates the total cost of the UK government’s Covid-19 measures was £410 billion, or £6,067 per person.

    “This partly accounts for why the British economy is in such a parlous state and why Rachel Reeves has so little room for manoeuvre. For instance, the main reason she can’t borrow more to plug the hole in the public finances is because we maxed out the country’s credit card during the pandemic, with public sector net debt ballooning from £1.8 trillion at the end of March 2020 to £2.35 trillion by March 2022.”

    The BBC’s editors and producers, like a majority of the lanyard class, seemed to take it for granted that these costs would be more than outweighed by the benefits, even though there was precious little evidence that locking people in their homes would stop the spread of the virus. Indeed, the evidence soon began to point the other way: Sweden, which imposed much more moderate restrictions, had the second lowest excess mortality in Europe between March 2020 and July 2022.

    Such was the BBC’s enthusiasm for the lockdown policy, it pumped out nightly “Covid porn”, with Clive Myrie and other correspondents filing reports from “the frontline” where doctors and nurses struggled to contain the deadly virus. It’s no wonder the government’s draconian response commanded such widespread public support. This news footage gave the impression that anyone who breached the social distancing rules was at serious risk of dying. This was not the reality: in 2021 the global infection fatality rate was reckoned by John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford, to be 0.27 per cent.

    But the Beeb went further than this, combining with other news organisations to discredit anyone casting doubt on the wisdom of the lockdown policy. It leveraged its status as the founder of the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), a partnership with Reuters, the Associated Press, Agence France-Press, the Financial Times, the New York Times and the Washington Post to suppress sceptical voices on social media – the subject of an anti-trust law suit in the US brought by various independent news publishers. Indeed, the founder of the TNI, senior BBC executive called Jessica Cecil, was a member of the Counter Disinformation Policy Forum, a shadowy group of “experts” convened by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to monitor criticism of the government’s pandemic response.

    The Corporation’s role as the gatekeeper of trusted journalism was extended when Deborah Turness, the now ex-BBC News CEO, set up BBC Verify, a team of 60 “fact-checkers” tasked with exposing the mis- and disinformation supposedly being pumped out by rival news organisations. I look forward to the investigation by Marianna Spring, Verify’s star journalist, into the shortcomings of the BBC’s own reporting, as highlighted by the Telegraph. But I won’t hold my breath….

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/12/bbc-covid-ruin-before-davie-prescott-dossier/

    Toby Young is founder member of the Free Speech Union. I admire him greatly, he fought againts the crowd.
    He makes a good point that BBC VERIFY was a power grab to make itself more important than it was by aligning itself with global corporate bodies that had a ‘left wing ethos’ of basically lying on an industrial scale to create a ‘state of Emergency’ that ultimately failed. But the dream lives on. Globalism, Utopia, Climatism, COVID mark 2, 3,4, 5 and 6 (All UN funded with WEF plans). They were so close to victory. The BBC were the center of the World, cocky fact checkers, that lied. BBC VERIFY was the Tombstone of the BBC project..

    I don’t understand Davies’ statement “We must fight for journalism” What does that mean? No one is attacking honest journalism Its propaganda and deceit that is the problem. If this is what he calls journalism then no wonder the BBC is in trouble.

      I always thought that a good journalist went out and looked for stories, contacted people to give him or her – even ‘it’ -, information, kept a decent standard of probity and wrote his or her piece in accordance to the notes from these investigations.

      Seems beeboids just get their orders from Mohammed Street, the cubiclists make up their little yarns, and ‘present’ the while shebang to the dwindling number of TV taxpayers! I wonder how many ‘contacts’ the dinosaurs in TV Kennels have now, I mean who actually wants to be associated with them about this sort of crap ‘story-telling’ and downright deceit? I can imagine the nasty ones, (usual suspects), will still poke their hideous noses in, but, ‘The pig got up and slowly walked away’.

      Full marks to the DT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgKjMJd4EJ0 for getting to grips with this – I’ve got them as a fave to see what occurs from now on! They don’t have the sleb aura so beloved by the unlovely, self-serving bunch in TV Turrets – they just do the business!

    “Former BBC director general Mark Thompson has given evidence at an inquiry into Newsnight’s shelving of an investigation into Jimmy Savile.

    The chief executive and president of the New York Times travelled to London to give evidence, a spokesman said.

    The independent Pollard Review is seeking to establish whether there were any “failings” in the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation.

    On Friday it was announced it would take a month longer than expected.”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20474112

    ………..
    “The Pollard Review, conducted by former Head of Sky News Nick Pollard, was published on 19 December 2012. It was an inquiry into a dropped Newsnight investigation in 2011 which featured allegations of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile. ”

    As at 31 March 2013 the total cost of the Pollard Review was £2.4 million excluding VAT, including costs to the Trust of £360,910 for external legal support.

    But it turns out they charge a 39p transaction fee and an 11.75% processing fee if you want cash, or 8.9% if you want to give it to charity.
