    Well, here am I. The BBC plays by its own rules. It is very selective what it agrees to. I am annoyed that the BBC reneged on its agreement to keep iPlayer free for those who wanted to watch catch up TV on line. They discontinued iPlayer free for those who wanted catch up TV on-line as far back as 2016. I think ‘Dickensian’ was the last thing I watched in December 2016. The BBC probably thought that reneging on their commitment for iPlayer would encourage more people to go out and by TV Licences. The opposite has been true. Cancel your TellyTax. Defund the BBC. The BBC is greedy for your money.

      Nice one Uppers!

      Let’s hope that the rising tide of anti-bBC opprobrium is beginning to influence the various AI bots which are springing up all over the place!

      Surely, if more and more TV tax is lost, there must be questions creeping into the answers about the bBC’s far-left bias, relentless hatred of President Trump and Reform etc., and continuing lying by omission?

    The BBC continues to hide the truth from us about migrant crime.

    From the Mail today….

    A Sudanese migrant who tried to kidnap a teenage girl off the street has been jailed for more than four years.

    Abdulmawal Ibrahim Adam, 28, was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court on Friday after admitting to the crime. ‘

    The Police….

    ‘At around 9.30pm on March 6, Adam, a Sudanese national, approached the victim in Princes Street near Fleming Way, Swindon, as she was walking home from work.’

    The BBC reported his original arrest but aren’t flagging up his sentencing….guess they hope you’ve forgotten and it’ll all be buried and hidden away…yet another inconveniently terrible story about the joys of migration.

    In that first report they forgot to mention he was a migrant…another ‘Welsh choirboy’….

    ‘Adam, of Stanier Street in Swindon, was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing at Swindon Crown Court on 12 December.’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ep9j2zv1wo

    And another tale of migrant sex abusers….but tucked away…not on the frontpage, nor on the UK page despite it surely being a major story….

    ‘Five men who were part of a grooming gang that raped and sexually assaulted girls they met in a park have been jailed for terms ranging between 18 months and 14 years.

    Newcastle Crown Court heard how the four Romanian men and one Albanian targeted vulnerable girls in Saltwell Park, Gateshead, between 2015 and 2019.

    One of the six victims was a 14-year-old girl who became addicted to cocaine given to her by the men and was then passed around for sex, prosecutors said.’

    This though is apparently a major story…good enough for the UK page…

    Of 9 council ward elections yesterday – Reform – i think – won 5 . Labour got none . One of the wards Reform won was in Scotland . Once upon a time – if I recall – Reform was toxic i. Scotland – but not any more ….

    Looks like TTK will be cancelling more elections – some think the sabre rattling going on is part of the process to suspend democracy in britainistan …. I guess TTK will try anything .

    Next week the Bank of England will reduce interest rates in a desperate attempt to achieve ‘growth ‘. Labour will claim this as a good thing whilst in real life it is desperation ….

    Oh yeah – the membership of reform makes it the largest party ……

    Im sure the BBC will report this…

      Lisa Shaw death: Legal action ‘only option’ for husband
      Published 5 April 2023
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-65187992

      The husband of a BBC presenter who died due to complications from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine says taking legal action is his only option.

      Lisa Shaw, 44, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, died in May 2021 a week after her first jab.

      Gareth Eve said despite trying to “engage with the government, MPs and three prime ministers” no-one had “reached out” in return.

      The Department of Health said all vaccines had “undergone robust trials”.

    The BBC says of the Trump ‘surrounded by girls’ photo….

    ‘No additional context or details were included with the newly released images, so it is not clear when, why or where many of the photos were taken or by whom. Merely being pictured in files related Epstein is not an indication of wrongdoing.’

    And yet the Telegraph manages to report…

    ‘The US president, who was friends with Epstein in the nineties, has his arms around two of the women, who are wearing Hawaiian leis around their necks.

    The women were models representing Hawaiian Tropic, the American suntan lotion brand, at an event at Mar-a-Lago. The photo is thought to have been taken in 1998, when Epstein and Mr Trump were close friends, and the models were in their twenties.

    One of the women in the Mar-a-Lago photo told The Telegraph the US president was a “gentleman” who went out of his way to ensure the group enjoyed their evening at his Florida holiday home.

    “I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice. He was very gentlemanly, that’s the word to describe him,” she said.’

    The Trump photos are not from the ‘island’….they are completely innocent pictures taken at events….some already in the public domain….and many seem very recent….when did Trump start saying ‘make America great again’?….because it was spoofed on this…

    ‘There is an image of an orange pumpkin with a blonde wig that has been carved in the likeness of Trump. Above it, a sign reads: “Trumpkin. Make Halloween Great Again.” ‘

    This image seems to show Trump looking old…

    Lol….the condom is a satire by an artist and is in fact in the National Museum of American History…

    ‘Political satire condom, unopened in printed red cardboard packaging.

    The package features a cartoon image of 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The text reads “I’m HUUUUGE!” which plays on Trump’s pattern of speech and use of catch phrases; the front of the package also reads, “Say it with a condom.”

    The packaging was designed by Fishs Eddy, a housewares and novelty shop in New York City. On the reverse, “FISHS EDDY” appears again, along with a link to sayitwithacondom.com, where one can order custom condoms with topical sayings or designs.’

    https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_1808927

    So the Democrats are releasing photos claiming association with Epstein when they are in fact little to do with him….but the BBC makes little effort to demonstrate that sleight of hand.

    bBC now poking around pics of dubious covenance showing President Trump.

    This is to be expected of course, and we all wait with bated breath on more news and pictures of Huw Edwards, and some of the other rather unpleasant cubiclists, taken from their past years ‘working’ for the bBC…

    Surely, in an organisation as bloated as the state broadcaster, with many thousands of employees, the law of averages says that it won’t only be the names and faces of the ‘presenters’, or the ‘slebs’, who have been caught with various shapes and sizes of knickers around their ankles! There will possibly be quite a few ‘behind the scenes’ names, who may have been ‘shifted out’ quietly.

    Funny how the various departments are so desperate to show President Trump in a bad light, but somehow are having trouble identifying some of their own brood, after all, they’re on the payroll…

    Oh, and how’s the ‘relaunch’ of Edwards going? Is he going to work to pay off the huge sum of money he still owes the taxpayer?

    ‘It’s a bit of a bugger, isn’t it’… can now be significantly scaled back (Mail)

    Was that Rachel Reeves (our First Female ‘growth’ Chancellor) and her candid comment on the news that October GDP fell by 0.1% ?

    Nope, it’s King Charles III (and for @David Lammy, we should point out he’s come a good while after Charles II – comic h/t to Toby Young) and the royal cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

    News of which fills the newspaper frontpages almost to the brim this Saturday morning in sick note Britain. The tabloid Sun gets a political bias rankings equalising top spot in the BBC’s print press line-up with this politcally neutral royal news.

    Doctor strike during flu outbreak would be ‘reckless’, says Starmer… it is “beyond belief” they could take place during a flu outbreak. (BBC)

    It’s like the army going on strike – just as we’re about to have a war.

    Recent polls suggest a significant portion of Britons would be hesitant or unwilling to fight for their country, with figures often showing around half saying they wouldn’t fight under any circumstances, though some would volunteer or serve if conscripted, especially younger men, but overall willingness is low compared to past eras, reflecting a societal shift away from automatic patriotic duty, say experts – Thank you Mr AI Overview – he’s my geeky distant cousin, you know. We only ever correspond online. I’ve never met him at any family gatherings – I’m beginning to suspect he’s just a bot.

    Luckily, we only fight proxy wars these days and our weapons of choice are propaganda and economic sanctions. But those, like dud or defective missiles will often rebound and do more damage to us than they do to the target.

    EU backs indefinite freeze on Russia’s frozen cash ahead of loan plan for Ukraine (Paul Kirby, Europe digital editor, BBC)

    Russia could attack Nato within five years, says alliance chief in stark new warning (Frank Gardner, Security Correspondent and Paulin Kola, BBC) – I’m sorry but the five year plan brings back to mind the five days Nato chief Mark Rutte’s native Holland held out in WW2.

    US wants ‘special economic zone’ in Ukraine’s frontline region, Zelensky says (Laura Gozzi, BBC) – Hey, Zelensky, our Rishi Sunak, our former regional manager, said the UK was the most exciting ‘Ecomonic Zone’ !

    Our foreign policy is a bit rubbish, isn’t it.

    Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm hired by company linked to Chinese military… came under scrutiny after he was appointed UK ambassador to Washington (Guardian)

    ‘It’s a bit of a bugger, isn’t it’ – sorry, I already did that headline.

    Our BBC is always telling us about the Gaza Health Ministry… More than 70,000 killed in Gaza since Israel offensive began, Hamas-run health ministry says – now we learn the Ukrainian NHS (sic) is about to be overwhelmed this winter: Ukraine’s health supplies hit in series of Russian strikes on medical warehouses (Vitaly Shevchenko, Russia editor, BBC Monitoring)

    There was a catchphrase used in the much-loved vintage TV show Dad’s Army, often used by the overly-officious air raid warden Hodges “Dontcha know there’s a war on!”

    Right-leaning Express likewise the Sun gets a BBC promotion to second spot in their online press review with a royal frontpage spread: Good news by sticking to doctors orders… Charles, 77, shared his good news… – in the future everyone will have a number as a surname…

    The digital ID will be mandatory for proving a person’s right to work in the UK (Gov.UK, House of Commons Library, 05 December, 2025)

    Doctors orders… Sir Keir Starmer has urged resident doctors not to go ahead with “reckless” strikes planned for next week (BBC) – Doctors Orders used to be Number 9 – there’s one for the teenagers.

    (and for @David Lammy, we should point out Charles, 77, will come a good while after Charles, 76 – comic h/t to Toby Young)

    Which is more or less where we came in. By the way, if official figures can figure out the size of the economy down to 0.1% (1/10th of a per cent) – that’s a margin of error of 1000th (do check my math) then I guess we can happily trust these experts with all our personal data afterall. Go ahead, print my bar code on my forehead.

    The TV licence – from the DT

    STARTS The BBC could be part-funded by advertising under proposals to be unveiled by Lisa Nandy next week.

    The Culture Secretary will lay out a series of options for supplementing the licence fee, including subscriptions or asking the better off to pay more.

    It follows concerns about an increase in the number of people not paying the licence fee and instead subscribing to Netflix and other commercial services.

    The plans will be announced at a time of crisis for the corporation, following revelations in The Telegraph about bias at the broadcaster, including the doctoring of a speech by Donald Trump. It led to the resignation of the BBC’s director-general Tim Davie.

    A whistleblower’s report also highlighted bias in the BBC’s reporting of the war in Gaza, particularly by BBC Arabic, and “effective censorship” of reporting on transgender issues.

    A source close to Ms Nandy said the only option she had ruled out was funding the corporation out of general taxation.

    While she has spoken of her support for the licence fee, one option for change could include linking the amount people pay to their income.

    The Culture Secretary wants to see the BBC reduce the proportion of money paid by licence fee payers and make more money from the sale of programmes abroad.

    Last year, the broadcasting generated £3.8bn from the licence fee, which is set at £174.50 per year, and £2.2bn from BBC Studios, its production division.

    There has been a steady decline in the number of people paying the licence fee, from 25.2 million in 2020 to 23.8 million this year.

    Ms Nandy’s consultation will run for 12 weeks before the publication of a white paper.

    In September, she ruled out funding the BBC out of general taxation and proposed a “mixed funding” model.

    Speaking during a fringe event at the Labour Party conference, she said she was looking at a “whole range of options” including a “mixture of licence fee, commercial funding and some subscription services”.

    Ms Nandy said: “The only thing we’ve ruled out is general taxation. If you had a grant from the Government each year, it would be far too easy for politicians to pull that funding and use it as a stick to beat the BBC with. It’s essential we protect the BBC from that.”

    The Telegraph reported last month that Ms Nandy could block a further rise in the licence fee.

    One insider told The Times that next week will mark the “starting gun” for funding negotiations before the expiry of the present charter at the end of 2026.

    “It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and there will be plenty of time for the public, industry and the BBC to make their arguments and views heard,” one said.

    The corporation is expected to reject suggestions that it be funded through subscriptions because it says that it should remain available to everyone.

    It is also against advertising because it fears this would have a destructive impact on commercial rivals such as ITV and Channel 4.

    A spokesman for the BBC said: “The Government’s consultation will give the public and the industry an opportunity to have their say on the future of the BBC and shape the UK’s media landscape for the next decade and beyond.”ENDS

        Moggie – it’s good to hear that the licence won’t be funded out of general taxation – i am sure the Arabs would be interested in buying the BBC like they do with footy clubs –

        But the realisation of how biased the BBC is – by more and more people – does give them the ‘nudge ‘(ugh) – excuse to not pay for the licence …. The fear of the non existent detector van must still worry the over 50s but the kidults could care less in my view .
        They are so used to free stuff courtesy of the taxpayers that why bother paying for the old BBC … That’s what I hope ….
        Advertising would be an advantage because there’d be a truer awareness of how many still watch the BBC …

    Seems unlikely that it’s a grift

    Jess Phillips, Minister for Safeguarding Girls is stupid if she thinks we will fall for her lies.

    These are the facts:

    – She established a Survivors Panel to inform the selection of chair for the grooming gang inquiry. This panel was excluded from the appointment of Labour Party grandee Anne Longfield.

    – Survivors on the panel insisted the chair be independent from the Labour Party and be a judge. Longfield is neither. Worse, she comes from the very state machinery that covered this up.

    – Phillips initially refused to support a public inquiry in Oldham. She had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support a national inquiry.

    – She spent months resisting investigation of the racial and religious dynamics central to these crimes.

    – After 6 months of delay, she appointed Labour party-linked people to lead the national inquiry.

    – Survivors found out about Longfield’s appointment by watching Parliament TV.

    This is systematic betrayal. Survivors forced this inquiry into existence. Phillips has spent every moment since trying to control and compromise it.

    On Channel 4 News, Phillips faced the consequences of her deception. It wasn’t just political car crash television. It was a government unravelling live on air with Phillips claiming there had been meaningful consultation while the evidence of rigging mounted around her.

    The interview revealed the systematic dishonesty at the heart of this process. Phillips claimed survivors had been extensively consulted on the appointment. She insisted the process was robust and transparent. She maintained that survivor concerns had been carefully considered in the final decision.

    Every single one of these claims was demonstrably false.

    Phillips’ television performance revealed how institutions view survivors. They see them as emotional burdens to be managed rather than moral authorities to be followed. She spoke of survivors as a “snapshot” of opinion, as imperfect representatives who must accept systemic limitations rather than define ethical standards.

    When Channel 4 quoted survivor Carly saying “the government has groomed us all over again,” Phillips ignored the devastating accuracy of that parallel. She retreated to institutional comfort phrases. Her door is always open, consultation is complex, no single survivor speaks for all survivors. She apologised for how survivors felt, never for what the government had done.

    Grooming gang survivors spent more than a decade fighting three wars.

    – The first, against the men who raped and trafficked them

    – The second, against the professionals who refused to believe them or dismissed their abuse as “lifestyle choices”

    – And finally, against the politicians and institutions that covered it up.

    They survived the rapes. They endured being blamed for their own exploitation. They exposed the political concealment. And after years of relentless campaigning, they finally forced a reluctant government to commit to a national inquiry.

    Now, with a rare chance to break this cycle of betrayal, Jess Phillips and her Labour Party government has chosen to repeat it and continue the cover up.

    We will not allow Jess Phillips to succeed with her deceit.

      I somehow think those able to write about it don’t bother because they know it will never be commissioned in britainistan.

      Perhaps it will take Netflix or prime to resource a series or film . The nature of what happened – and what is happening must make it difficult to do as drama . But it needs to be done ….

        Fedup 2 – we’re past the point where thesps+ play acting should have any part in the matter – it’s clear that people entrusted with public safety, public funds and overall public trust/responsibility have *chosen* to lie, obfuscate and in some cases clearly break laws – unless this is cleared up – a wholesale breakdown in society in on the cards. It’s about as rotten + corrosive as it gets, you’d have to have been living for 10 years in a Buddhist retreat box to be unaware that much of our public sector is dysfunctional and rotten. The bad parts need to be excised – end of…. The alternative is chaos on a grand scale.

        Miah’s reporting of actual organised Pakistani gangs, operating in tandem with Oldham Labour Party seems to be a taboo topic… Let’s not forget that actual Pakistani gangs / bandits have looted north of £8 billion from public coffers over time – no one has denied that – that much money buys things…..

    All this talk by mp’s of going to war with Russia reminded me of a Peter Sellers film called ‘The mouse that roared’
    It’s all a distraction from the complete dogs breakfast they are making of absolutely everything.

    In my Army days (60’s – 70’s) I had no problem with the possibility of war. The Country and Queen were worth fighting for.
    Now I wouldn’t lift a finger if I was in the same position as then.
    I would also advise our young men not to bother either and that’s before taking into account the very real possibility of being arrested and charged in about 50 years for doing your duty by some lefty virtue signaller.

    I wonder if any American muck rakers have tried to track down any of Trumps schoolmates from 70 years ago to find out if they are now democrats and would be willing to say he said something in the school playground which they could use against him or is it only our lefty press that behaves so stupidly.

    The UK recorded 71,227 in 2024, 900% more than the 7,801 in 2000. The rape rate has reached 114 per 100,000 people.

    Congrats to all UK politicians on this stunning achievement”.

    Channel calm shattered as HUNDREDS of small boat migrants set sail for Britain after 28-day lull

    Hundreds of small boat migrants are en route to the UK this morning, after a month of bad weather prevented any illegal crossings.

    GB News can exclusively reveal that, so far today, seven migrant boats are attempting the crossing. Two have already made it to UK waters

      Maybe the UK can send all the un-raped kids to France to help reduce deaths at sea by illegal immigrants.

    Send more UK aid to China… HA HA AH AH HAHAHA

    “And how is Putin able to continue his war against Ukraine? The answer is China. China is Russia’s lifeline. China wants to prevent its ally from losing in Ukraine. Without China’s support, Russia could not continue to wage this war, for example, about 80% of critical electronic components in Russian drones and other systems are made in China.”

    ‘Gazan doctors killed my daughter by injecting air into her veins,’ father of murdered soldier says
    https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-879974

    ‘Avi Marciano said that rather than treat his daughter Noa for her wounds, a doctor at al-Shifa hospital killed her. He was sent a video of her last moments.’

    Pure evil. Lets hope all those involved died slowly trapped under rubble.

    A story in many news outlets now – but nowhere to be seen at the BBC.

    Always remember that these are the people the BBC protect by trying to prevent people knowing what they did.

    Each time I read a story like this it fills me with disgust at people like Bowen, Keane and the vile Yolanda Knell who use empathy porn to distract us from the reasons it all happens. You can be sure they know 100% what Hamas have done – much more than we do. And they don’t give a shit. They have their own agenda.

    Please someone rid us of this scum. I do not have the word to describe the contempt I feel towards the BBC and what they are now.

    Seems like the Far Right Carol Service which took place in central London today ended peacefully – 3 units of complementary Public Order Plod stood by with dogs in case ‘silent night ‘ became a threat to the TTK state with TTK judges on standby to lock carol singers up …..

    The Far Left put out complementary hate detachment against carol singing and calling for Christmas to be banned – supported by the Emirs’ bought plod .

    I don’t listen to the Godless BBC religion programme it buries at 0715 each Sunday – but I caught the line below after the propaganda ‘news ‘ at 0700 –

    “Is the Far Right trying to Weaponise Christianity ?”

    So I had to listen to- anyone seeing footage of the lovely carol service on YouTube will not how many plod were gagging to give their enemy – the British – a kicking – with a TTK judge waiting to remand their victims into custody over Christmas ….very TTK .

    Anyway -despite Satans ‘ creatures turning up to demonstrate against a Christmas carol service – there was no ‘trouble’ ….

    Just following on from the above – I had to listen to the whole godless programme before the BBC gave Tommy Robinson the usual kicking – with no mention of the satanic demonstration against the carol service.

    The beeboid interviewed some lefty who is researching’the far right and Christianity ‘ – who was there yesterday . The beeboid was fixated that the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 was on display at the Service – a bad thing he thought – the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 puts fear into the BBC despite the ‘British ‘ in the title …

    Anyway the observer could not find fault in the service – being godless self appointed judge . The BBC chap smeared again via the godless comments of some c of e bishops – but who cares about those perverted characters ? Even the first story was about some woman who is to be head of the c of e failing to deal with sex allegations as usual .

    The beeboid interviewed an organiser of the carol who started to speak about Christ and Christmas – which I think unbalanced the BBC bloke who preferred not to mention such words .

    Im off to mass – 3rd week of advent . I’ll pray for those godless bishops and try to pray for the BBC …

    And to pretend not to understand what Farage is referring to is also quite insulting – but it’s for the ‘prospect ‘ audience which will all be state lefties anyway .

    Strange that he doesn’t discuss the more obvious subject – of using false memories of school children from 50 years ago to smear a political opponent. But at least rushbridger didn’t default to an ‘independent ‘ public inquiry …..

    He was an Uber driver in the US. Now he’s scared of jihadists after deportation to Somalia

    #ccbgb

    Here is what really happened 👇

    Abdirahman Yasin Daud, a Somali refugee who arrived in the U.S. in 2016, worked as an Uber driver in Minneapolis before his life unraveled through crime. He pleaded guilty in 2021 to assaulting a woman with a hammer during a carjacking attempt and faced federal charges in 2023 for illegal firearm possession as a felon. Prosecutors highlighted his phone contacts with al-Shabaab sympathizers and social media posts praising jihadists, though he faced no terrorism charges. Deported by ICE in October 2024 after time served, Daud’s case exemplifies U.S. efforts to remove individuals with perceived security risks from Somali-American communities, where dozens have been radicalized since 2014.

    Now hiding in Mogadishu, Daud lives in terror of al-Shabaab militants, who he claims are hunting him as a U.S.-branded “snitch” or collaborator. Somalia’s al-Qaeda affiliate killed over 3,000 people in 2024 amid ongoing offensives that displaced more than a million, per UN and ACLED data, making return a potential death sentence for deportees like him. Daud pleads for U.S. re-entry, but his criminal record and Somalia’s instability bar legal paths. The story ignites immigration debates: proponents see it as justification for strict deportations, while critics question if loose associations warranted sending him to a jihadist hotspot plagued by weak governance and relentless violence.

    Well, there’s always the option of brining his unique cultural benefits to Bristol.
