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 ?

    Another expose here.
    A Daily T investigation has uncovered another, earlier example of the BBC doctoring footage of Trump’s January 6th speech. Not only that, but it was called out live on air by a Newsnight contributor – and nothing was done…(report).

        How will the bBC manage to shred all the other fake news they fiddled over the last several years?

        Is there a term for shredding/deleting online stuff so that absolutely nobody will have a copy?

        I thought I saw a ‘job’ advert in the Grauniad, asking for nerds and offering a shedload of TV Tax to do all this, but maybe I was mistaken…

    Some famous BBC faces such as Rylan Clark, Claudia Winkleman, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon don’t make the list as the BBC does not have to disclose the salaries of stars who are paid through production companies like BBC Studios , which is classed as a commercial entity.

      I sort of predicted that the bbc letter of apology would be a non apology … if 47 doesn’t start legal proceedings i really hope he withdraws accreditation to the BBC and expels them by cancelling work permits .

      That would give the BBC an honest reason to gripe . It shouid be the punishment for foreign broadcasters interfering in US elections .

      I saw today that GB news is now accredited to the White House press corps with them given the first question at the press conference – they asked about the BBC – shouid please BBCOFCOM …which seems strangely quiet about the BBC corrupt reporting … but it would wouldn’t it ?

      Now the next – possibly more damaging – expose has surfaced, how will they try and wriggle out of this one?

      Astounding Ball gets what she does….even more that she used to be paid almost double that. What on earth does she do to justify that? What do any of them do? The BBC says it is paying commercial rates or else all these stars will leave…one…well let’s hope so, two….pretty sure they could get the same ‘talent’ vastly cheaper as people will be chomping at the bit to get on air…three…maybe that’s why commercial media is in such trouble…paying premier league money for championship players.

      You have to think that the huge payments encourage the mindsets that make them think they are unaccountable and hugely important and that their opinions and insights are so vital that we all need to hear them rather than the facts.

    Always fascinating how the BBC slips in little phrases that totally alter perceptions and change the meaning of something…such as the BBC edit ‘..made it appear as if he had explicitly encouraged the Capitol Hill riot.’….that ‘explicitly’ insinuating that he did in fact try to encourage the riot but indirectly without obvious direction.

    Today we were told that there were ‘rumours of an internal coup to push out the head of BBC news’….no…no…total lie….not ‘rumours’…it was a self-serving lie fabricated by those wanting to prevent the truth coming out and instead misdirecting attention and putting the blame elsewhere rather than deal with the real problem of institutional bias and corruption.

      I think the saddest thing for us in the current BBC situation is that if there was a proper government – it would have the position to cull the BBC because of its ‘now clear evidence of bias .
      But the back of the BBC is covered by its’ Marxist regime .

      You can feel the reaction by the nature of those turning up to defend the BBC and minimising what it has done .

      With a bit of luck – for us – the 47 edits will really be the tip of the iceberg – and all those other bias will be highlighted – for instance the clear – obvious – bias against 🇮🇱 and the pro hamas stance .

      In fact Hamas is probably the ‘test ‘ – when the BBC refers to Hamas as a terrorist organisation – we might think there’s a real positive change . But I don’t think that can happen – the BBC is too infested with Islam for fair reporting .. maybe verify can confirm this .

      Why do I go on about it ? It’s because I think the BBC is / has destroyed the fabric of Blighty – multiculturalism- which is loves – has helped polarised and divided the country i grew up in .

      And every day it reports the consequences at though it has no responsibility for what it has done and is doing …

    BBC et al have blood on their hands….they are the ones that make people too afraid to speak out for fear of being branded ‘racist’.

    The Manchester Arena bombing…Rotherham, Rochdale and so many other places…and this….

    ‘Neighbours of the Sharif family did at times hear things that worried them, but the review found that “they were worried about reporting concerns about what they heard within the family’s home. They feared being branded as being racist, especially on social media”.

    Sara started wearing the hijab in 2021 when she was only eight years old, even though her stepmother did not.

    The review found that the “school showed appropriate curiosity by talking to Sara and stepmother and accepted the explanation that this was linked to Sara’s interest with Pakistani culture following a visit to her paternal grandparents in Pakistan”.

    In the last months of Sara’s life the the hijab hid the bruising and injuries to her face and head.’

      I recently had to drive to Peterborough several times as a relative of the missus had died after taking the turkish juice.

      First there was the lady at the hospital who wanted to go blah blah and give us a leaflet

      Another drive to council offices to register the death and hear a lady go blah blah and give us a leaflet

      Then another drive to for a funeral lady to fill in a form and give us a leaflet and ask what kind of suit to dress him up in and what kind of wood for the coffin.

      Then another drive to hear a lawyer lady go blah blah and fill in lots of forms and tell us to get the heating and water turned off so we could not use the house as a base in winter.

      Then all the workman have to drive to turn off the gas and water

      Then more driving to hear lots of ladies talk about funeral arrangements.

      This all seems to be about day-care for wimmin if you ask me. Most of this could be done by email and using zoom. And what about the environment and all those wood owls? Each drive was a 160 miles round-trip. Cluck cluck.

    If they say ‘Trump Epstein’ enough times the BBC hopes this will be evidence enough of Trump’s guilt…throw enough mud and taint by association and the mud will stick…they hope.

    The slimeball Wolff hates Trump and is absolutely desperate to dig up, or failing that, invent some dirt…as are of course the Dems and the BBC.

    This is Wolff…

    ‘Wolff offers Epstein a chance to sit for an interview that could “finish” Trump.

    “There’s an opportunity to come forward this week and talk about Trump in such a way that could garner you great sympathy and help finish him. Interested?”, Wolff writes to Epstein.’

    Funny how the BBC thinks Wolff is such a decent chap…someone who is working in close alliance with Epstein knowing he is a convicted sex offender…aparently that is OK if you’re out to get Trump.

    No ‘victim’ has come forward to accuse Trump…just the BBC and fellow travellers….not even Virginia Giufre who you can be sure would have…instead she actually denied any contact….

    ‘Giuffre said in a 2016 deposition that she never saw Trump participate in any abuse. And in a memoir released this year, she did not accuse the president of any wrongdoing.’

    The BBC quotes one piece of ‘evidence’ claiming Trump knew Epstein was trafficking girls…

    ‘Epstein adds that “of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop”. ‘

    Buuut…Trump employed many girls, including Giuffre, at Mar-a-Largo…Epstein was apparently coming over and poaching them and taking them to his island….Trump was not happy with this and it was one reason he ended his relationship with Epstein…perhaps this is what he wanted Maxwell to stop? ‘Please stop poaching my employees.’ The BBC chooses its own intepretation…and fails to give you the full context to allow you to decide for yourself.

    Wolff has over 100 hours of taped interview with Epstein and yet has not got a single piece of evidence to actually make an accusation….and the emails show they were falling back on a desperate ploy to get Trump to deny he’d flown on Epstein’s plane when he had…aha gotcha!…but that was the limit of their ‘evidence’ against Trump.

    The Democrats have thousands of emails and yet have nothing just Trump’s name linked to Epstein…as have so many other quite innocent people.

    Biden had 4 years to publish any incriminating evidence…but he didn’t…and we all know he would have given the slightest excuse. No evidence then?

    Seems , so far, that there is no evidence at all against Trump…in fact Giuffre’s statement would put him in the clear….but never mind….he’s guilty….he’s Trump. The vendetta continues.

      It is unlikely that any legal action by President Trump could succeed. He should, however, reject the BBC’s apology (sic) and ban the BBC from any White House press conferences (considering they make things up they don’t really need to be in attendance anyway). Where there there are BBC broadcasting operations in the United States which require FCC approval, this approval should be removed. A couple of political shots-across-the-bow could be made, for example high profile meetings between the President and Nigel Farage, and between J D Vance and Tommy Robinson (real name British Patriot).

    Another ‘vile’ beeboid.

    Or are they trying to distract everyone over their Panorama affair?

    ‘BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty faces ‘formal investigation after receiving MORE complaints following bullying allegations’

    A formal investigation into Naga Munchetty has reportedly been launched, after she faced a string of complaints and bullying allegations.

    The BBC Breakfast presenter, 50, who has fronted the show for 15 years, now faces an uncertain future on the broadcaster after further allegations were said to have been made.

    In August, TV sources claimed several colleagues had logged concerns over Naga’s ‘hard’ and ‘bullying’ behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live show.

    At the time, bosses put Naga under review, but have now escalated it to a probe after further complaints were made, according to reports.

    The TV host is paid between £355,000 and £359,999 a year for BBC Breakfast and fronting her Radio 5 show.

    An insider told The Sun: ‘The Naga situation has been an albatross around Breakfast’s neck since June when the endemic bullying at Media City was first exposed by The Sun

    What’s strange about the Panorama and Newsnight Trump edits is that they are more or less the same. Anti Trump propaganda could have been generated, edited, stitched up in any any number of ways and yet these two clips are identical even though 2 years apart. It makes me think that the same person or group had the same wizzo idea.
    Was the idea to run it again generated at the production level or from higher up? Some internal BBC memos and emails could be interesting.

    How very BBC !. Totally dishonest representation and is absolutely typical of the Left. It reminds me when maxi would dig up selected quotes from years ago then use them to attack people – but without any context to see how they were used.

    Irrelevant BBC . You boast you are a global broadcaster, in a digital age when all your output can be viewed anywhere in the world , as you know and tell us . You broadcast in English, the most international language that there has ever been , not Serbo- Croat or Mauri .

    The wet Tory was a wet Tory with a Well we’ d like you to be better and we’re thinking about it but oh well .

    BBC , you spliced the two speeches for a reason . The reason is you hate Donald Trump . Admit it .

      The long 0810 chat was between comrade Robinson and comrade nandy . Robinson couldn’t wait to mention the evil ‘Tory ‘ who is on the BBC board and how to get rid of him .

      Nandy said it wasn’t for her to vet / cull the board – but then went on to explain in detail how a board member could be removed ….
      So the Marxists have been researching and working on it then . I care less because the BBC group think is so deep that board level members are just nodding donkeys – like the Muslim chairman …

      Robinson recognised they have a bestist friend in Nandy

    A damning report edition

    BBC online print press review this morning brings their favourite Guardian back for a quick repeat in its top spot.

    The left-leaning Gruan is of course virtually the BBC verbatim (no bias there then… sarc.)

    Top headline thereabouts neatly represents the corporation’s official response to the present outbreak of bias furore: BBC apologises to Trump over Panarama, but rejects $1bn claim (Tara Conlon, Michael Savage, Guardian)

    In case you doubted it: BBC apologises to Trump over Panorama edit but refuses to pay compensation (Noor Nanji, Culture reporter, BBC)

    On the habitual incidence of the apparent shorthand “Trump” in (dis-) respect of the President Donald – I’m reliably informed that the US newspaper style guide dictates the removal of honorifics, such as “Mr”, in the case of convicted felons.

    Resident Evil

    Wes Streeting says BMA is ‘morally reprehensible’ as strike looms (Times); Doctors begin five-day walkout in England… Resident doctors – the new name for junior doctors – will walk out of both emergency and non-urgent care. (BBC)

    Consultants may join strike over doctors’ pay… gearing up to join resident doctors… present ministers with a major new headache… likely to add to ministers’ acute difficulties… (Guardian)

    Some rather medicalised language there what with all the acute headaches. As for the lad Streeting calling them out morally – it is of course standard default leftist practice to dub one’s opponents as evil. And I’m not the one who would have previously elevated the profession to the level of heroic status when they were just doing their chosen day job. If only we had a currently sitting, officially constituted, well-funded judge-led public inquiry that could look into all that.

    Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day (David Bowie, 1977)

    How’s the notion of the impending introduction of an all-encompassing Digital ID system run by civil servants for our personal data sitting with you?

    …Ministry of Defence has failed to implement safeguards to stop leaks of personal information – first exposed by this paper… A cross-party group of MPs publishes a damning report today into the MoD’s response to the breach. The Commons public accounts committee found that the department failed to learn from multiple data breaches over successive years and that there were inadequate controls in place at the department to safely manage personal data (Independent) – this is the Indy highlighting the continuing: Afghan heroes still at risk from MoD data breach

    We’ll perhaps excuse the left-leaning virtual broadsheet’s somewhat inflated concern for this migrant cohort and their reflexive reversion to the over-employed noun “hero”. We’ve seen it from lefties too often before. Call me jaded but I’m more upset these days by the tired old cliché “damning report”

    Passive voice attack

    France marks 2015 Paris attack (Guardian)

    Forget those quintessentially Parisian kepis – once as familiar and parochially typical as the British bobbie’s helmet – the line of gendarmes guarding floral wreaths on a boulevard are now pictured toting machine pistols and garbed in those internationalist paramilitary swat-team-like dark jump suits. The reason – the Gruan admits: 130 people killed 10 years ago by Islamic State terrorists who targeted a stadium, bars, restaurants and the Bataclan venue

    Which militarised image rather segueways to the FT cover feature image: Call to arms… Berlin steps up recruitment… German army recruits take part in combat training in Ahlen, Germany, yesterday… Berlin has ruled that all 18-year-old men must have medical inspections to see if they are fit enough to serve in the military… will initially only seek volunteers to serve in the new form of military service – I’m oddly reminded of those hackneyed old war films where the German soldiers preferring a comfortable billet in occupied Paris fear a malicious posting to the Russian front.

    Speaking of uniform matters…

    ‘Fake admiral’ parades for Remembrance (Telegraph)

    The giveaway Metro drops a doozy of a journalistic “despite”

    Starmer’s asylum swaps with France so far… 84 in… 113 out… Home sec says ‘milestone’ show deal working… despite 8,000 illegal arrivals since it began – that we know about. And how many not so obvious visa over-stayers?

    Report exposes ‘alarming evidence’ of Chinese meddling in UK universities

    Cutting Chinese ties would cost city £100m – report
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70ekp9zz58o
    Severing ties with its sister city of Ningbo in China would cost Nottingham’s local economy up to £100m yearly, according to documents the city council has been forced to make public.

    The university is proposing to close these courses and numerous others as part of cost-saving measures, and will not be admitting any new students in the meantime.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq6zqe1l7g5o
    “The university will claim that modern languages brings in very little research income,” he said.
    “We can function on pencils and dictionaries, we don’t need expensive kit.”

    Rachel wants £30billion or so give or take several billions.

    Wouldn’t it be refreshing if, instead of finding ever more ways to take our money to raise this sum she finds ways of cutting the government spend by these £billions.

    I bet these an easy £30 billion to be found currently being wasted in various projects plus all the other ways the government finds to spend taxpayers cash.

    I would bet we on here could list things where money could be saved (such as hs2 but I won’t list any more as we all know loads of them)
    Reform have a hit list to save huge sums which is the way to go and not just keep on raising taxes etc like the rest of the Parties.

    Israeli military body Cogat, which controls Gaza’s crossings, said in a statement: “The residents left the Gaza Strip after Cogat received approval from a third country to receive them.” It did not specify the country.

    According to the Palestinian embassy in South Africa, the group left Israel’s Ramon Airport and flew to the country via the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, “without any prior note or coordination”.’

    Seems like they change their forecasts to suit her news agenda…wants to raise income tax so they tell us that their forecasts were far too positive and in fact we are in a deeper black hole than thought….oh but hold on….panic panic panic as the prospect of income tax rises looks political dynamite and the forecast suddenly changes again…things are looking really rosy…taxes don’t have to go up.

    Guess the OBR is doing what it was created for…giving cover to its political masters.

    Er but….are we being sold a lie? The BBC seems remarkably unconcerned about the tiny 0.1% growth just announced…under the Tories this would have brought forth apocalyptic warnings of doom from the BBC…recession looms! Now…not so much…its growth…yeh!

    And no income tax rise? Except by stealth…

    ‘The chancellor has decided not to proceed following estimates suggesting a gap in the public finances is £10bn smaller than previously thought.

    Instead of raising rates, Reeves could opt to freeze or lower income tax thresholds, the salary levels at which the rates kick in.’

    Freeze or lower tax thresholds? So we pay more income tax? Isn’t that a rise?
