The weekend before the budget – all the economic figures spell doom and gloom so the BBC is running diversion stories – anything even more negative about Nigel Farage or President Trump fits the bill. And a DEI called ‘mr banergee ‘ has resigned from the Board of the BBC … Who ?
Weekend 22nd November 2025

Call the thought-police….Robbie Gibb is right-leaning….get him off the BBC Board!
Hmmm…bet if we looked at the rest of the Board we’d find a few more ringers….just one I looked at…Caroline Thomson…
Not only personal assistant to SDP leader Roy Jenkins in 1982 but….
‘Caroline Thomson is married to the Labour peer Roger Liddle’
I imagine many others would have non-Tory connections should I be bothered to look….though it seems the Board’s composition, so compromised by Righty Gibb, doesn’t reflect the BBC’s actual output which is unremittingly left-wing…if not far-left.
The attacks on Gibb are of course purely political themselves, ironically….the same people attacking Gibb wouldn’t dream of calling out Labour and its China connections which seem to be highly questionable and vastly more dangerous than one Tory on the BBC Board.
reprise!
Absolutely fantastic – cheers tomo- is that crewekern again ? Genius..

This is even more prescient.
The DT is predicting that – on currrent polling – the dead blue party will get 14 seats ! I mean really ? 14 ? Who are these people still voting dead blue ? 4 seats shouid be a massive achievement … or maybe 1 …
… although it’s not featured much – the council ward elections this week ( 7?) has resulted in- I think – in 5 Reform – 1 green and 1 Liberal …. With the blues and reds losing – just an indicator of the strength of feeling methinks …
latest from Crewkerne
18 months porridge?
The golden age of crewkerne -it’s beyond art – tomo are you crewkerne ?
In Re ; the Welsh Reform leader sentenced to 10 years today .
This is justified . Acting on behalf of a foreign power for money .
But what of the British flunkies working at the EU ? Part of any agreement receiving any money including pensions from the EU is that you will always advance the interests of that power whenever you can .
Let`s look forward to a cleanout .
Nibor – im a member of the hang ‘em and flog em brigade – but 10 years for that seems a bit TTK to me … his love of money deserves a financial penalty – with a couple of real years added .
10 years 6 months – if I recall – makes him a Cat A prisoner with all the complementary attachment that brings – signalling a TTK Lucy Connolly type sentence …
I agree with you there Fed . I wonder about his legal assistance .
But on a point of principle , recieving money from one foreign power should be treated as treated as the same as receiving it from another . If you receive grants funding pensions etc from the EU the rules state you must publicly support the EU .
The EU used to ( and probably still does ) give funds to documentary makers – which often appeared on Chanel 4 . Surely the money disbursed by the EU with their conditions has had far more influence than this fellow spouting off in their so called parliament .?
Very few people would have known about this man never mind listened to his speeches in the EU parliament . In fact we come to the BBC defence In Re Donald Trump – did it have the desired outcome ( in reverse in this case ) .
But how many people have seen civil construction sites with the EU flag telling them The EU Did It For You and fallen for that propaganda – with the recipients of the funds obliged to support the EU for evermore ?
As this was the main news of the BBC I think its politically motivated in a campaign to harm Reform .
Pretty much what I thought as well. The amount of money was fairly small compared to various other bribaries I’ve heard of, did he actually do any thing significantly bad for it? Virtually all the Labour front bench seem to receive more money, mind you he was a Reform mean.
BBC Radio 4 12 noon .
Rare earth I think it was called . I could only listen to parts of it but the gist was
Fast fashion was damaging to the world and wouldn`t it be nicer if we bought less and repaired more ?
IN an expensive country to live and do business in like Britain this isn`t feasible . Our taxes and energy costs are too high . It`s cheaper to import and always will be while we`ve got this madness . The countries we import from dont pay for bogus asylum seekers , DEI managers , Net Zero , a bloated Foreign Office constantly looking for “influence ” , foreign aid , the BBC and it`s stations abroad – free to foriegn listeners , an expensive UN Security Council seat and the Royal Navy fighting off Houthi Rebels to bring those foreign imports through the Suez canal ( where`s the Chinese Navy ?) .
