In the words of Isaiah: “Here am I send me to the top pf the Thread” although Isaiah did not have to battle the BBC. Hopefully the BBC will fight the President Trump lawsuit and it will bring the BBC down. The BBC is really nasty and vicious in pursuing people in the UK who do not want to watch TV. The BBC are anti-Israel, anti-President Trump, anti-Nigel Farage and Reform. The BBC are greedy for money and waste it sending the Montacutie to Israel where she will no doubt try to harm Bibi Netanyahu. The BBC are beyond redemption. Defund the BBC if you haven’t cancelled you TellyTax already!
I hope Trump is relentless in his battle with the dreadful bbc. The longer it goes on the better, it will totally undermine how the biased bbc try to set the agenda for everything they do..
You never know, it might even make them ensure the news is impartial ?
There’s no such thing as impartial news. From the very choice of what constitutes news, to the importance it’s given and the treatment it gets, there will be bias. And there will be bias in what’s not reported.
I just want the right kind of bias, i.e. reflecting national interest, not the liberal globalist agenda inimical to the UK.
The point is made when the newshounds mysteriously manage to find a couple of dozen ex school kid contemporaries of Farage who have all oddly suddenly recalled what a Nazi he was to them 40 odd years ago. There is absolutely no doubt that this is a left-wing press setup coordinating the dubious revelations in an attempt to unseat Farage and prevent him from attaining any political hold in the UK. It mirrors what we have seen from lefty warfare brigade in the USA in the last few years.
In my opinion any news organisation that is revealed to be acting politically behind the scenes like this should have its license to broadcast revoked.
With regard to the lawsuit, I wonder how much other stuff the president’s legal team has already uncovered about the BBC’s coverage of him going back years, which are demonstrably blatant lies.
It will all be online somewhere.
Oh Yes!
Beeboids revel in tweets, and chuck them around at every opportunity, so despite the thought police doing a ‘reverse check’, there’ll be plenty of nasty leftie stuff in there somewhere, to add to the disgrace of the bBC’s tiresome agenda!
Starmer even getting battered on the BBC.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yx03zplkdo#comments
How is Keir Starmer getting on with his pledges to deliver change?
One can only hope….but then again it is practically a Putin mouthpiece given its avowed intent to destabilise US politics and unseat a US President….not to mention its close ties to Labour which is determined to keep the BBC in existence as its Party propaganda outlet…laughably claiming….
‘ I [Lisa Nandy] believe the BBC, alongside the NHS, is one of the two most important institutions in our country. While one is fundamental to the health of our people, the other is fundamental to the health of our democracy.’
And as the BBC’s Katie Razzall says…
‘We know this Labour government backs the BBC.’
The BBC is a dying institution that far from being fundamental to the health of our democracy is more akin to the grim reaper as it divides and destabilises, whipping up hate and anger as it sets race against race and supports Islamist terrorism and supremacy.

Listening to the BBC news bulletins and you’d never know there was a real scandal…
‘BBC says it will defend Trump defamation lawsuit over Panorama speech edit’
Bit of a ‘speech edit’ but the bulletins went no further not elaborating in what that edit was nor the intent behind it, nor the effect on perceptions.
If this had been, say a GB News issue, the BBC bulletin would expand fully on what the edit actually was and why it was so ‘scandalous’…but here…not so much….let’s brush over it and move on.
This is a very telling comment by Katie Razzall[BBC] in her long article on why Trump suing the BBC is so unfair….
‘I watched the documentary. I viewed it as an assessment of the approach taken by Trump’s most fervent supporters and whether claims about him, including about 6 January, have dented their admiration.’
Sooo…she is basically admitting the programme edited the film in order to make a fantasy ‘reality’ that BBC programme makers believed was in the minds of radical extremist Trump supporters.
Instead of reporting what he actually said they’ve just invented something to suit their own agenda….Trump has some radical supporters…this is what they want to do and so we, at the BBC, believe this is what they heard.
That’s a very dangerous and slippery slope isn’t it?…and, one might think, a very unsound basis for a legal defence….and naturally Razzall dismisses Trump’s case as ‘lawfare’…
ie he has no real basis for a case…it’s all rubbish, the BBC is innocent….
‘The point about “lawfare”, as it is often termed, is that it is less about the outcome and more about the toll it takes to fight.’

The Aussie PM and the BBC are delighted to heap praise on a ‘hero’ of the Bondi Beach attack.
I wonder if they’d have been so enthusiastic if he’d been called, say, Crocodile Dundee instead of Ahmed al Ahmed.
Subtext: See? They’re not all bad.
And the BBC are delighted to elaborate: “The fruit shop owner, who was born and raised in Syria…”
See? Immigrants are good!
Note: The BBC are calling it a “gun attack”. Not a terrorist attack, and most definitely not an islamist attack. No, it’s them guns wot are to blame. More gun control, that’s what we need.
And, incredibly, in a speech after the attack, Albanese warned of the ‘far right’ threat — yet wouldn’t say the words ‘Islamic extremism’.

Looks like the French are not particularly keen on the left wing warmongers in the EU ( and ther UK) trying to get them to fight for Ukraine. Notice the Frexit banners
Fair enough….couple of hundred thousand Ukrainian men have gone awol instead of fighting. Hope Ukraine never lets them back home.
@JonathanR
Ha ha, the French haven’t been keen on fighting anyone since Napoleon. (Except countries they thought would be a pushover like Algeria and Vietnam.)
Vlad:
To be fair to the French, they took massive casualties in WWI. That is why they built the Maginot Line in the 30s. Sadly, that did not work out so well.
Hello JonathanR
Frexit??? bbc to ever report
The absurd Labour MP Lora McEvoy still comes out with cr*p like this after the Bondi islamist attack:
“And I just want to say that as much as possible, we should try and detoxify the way that we think of people who aren’t like us because our diversity in this country is our strength.”
So the real problem is the indigenous population having hurty thoughts about people who try to kill us.
If “Diversity is our strength” then the whole of Europe would be a paradise.
“I’ve long found “diversity is our strength” to be one of the Left’s most wearying platitudes. After what happened at Bondi Beach, however, it seems not merely naive, but mind-bogglingly deluded. If I were a Labour MP, and a TV station asked me to comment on breaking news of a mass shooting, I like to think I’d have the sense to tell myself: “Don’t witter about how ‘diversity is our strength’ – just in case this story proves to be about members of one ethnic group massacring members of another. If it does, after all, viewers might suggest that diversity is actually a weakness. Because, without it, atrocities like this couldn’t happen.”
Michael Deacon. The Telegraph
Rape Crisis report that Britain had an estimated total of 474,847 rapes in 2024, reported by the UN as the highest rate of rape in the World. 87% of the victims were white girls raped by non-Russian invaders. However the Government wants the Islamophobic fathers, brothers and boyfriends of raped girls, to forget the raped and vaccine injured girls, and die for the Starmerfuhrer in the Ukraine, shouting the four slogans of the Uniparty, to the Russians, as the British Army marches on Moscow.
The four slogans of the Uniparty are (1) “DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH”, (2) “WAR is PEACE”, (3) “FREEDOM is SLAVERY,” and (4) “IGNORANCE is STRENGTH”.
The Ministry of Peace (Newspeak: Minipax) serves as the war ministry of the Uniparty government, and is in charge of the armed forces, mostly the navy and army. The Ministry of Peace may be the most vital organ of the Uniparty, seeing as the nation is supposedly in an ongoing genocidal proxywar with Russia and requires the right amount of force not to win the war outright, but to keep it in an ongoing state of equilibrium. Also, the Starmerfuhrer promises to manipulate the Islamophobic sheep into chanting “Islamic invasion good for diversity, Russian invasion bad for diversity”.

Diversity is divisive – Simples !
Promulgated by ‘foreign actors’ who wish to bring Great Britain down.
Wake up Great Britain!
taffman, you’re quite right !! Divisive and Diversity share the same Latin root. Originally the word Diversity had the pejorative sense of “contrariety, contradiction disagreement“.
In fact the Latin etymology of the word means “turned different ways”… “turned apart”… (Rhymes with “torn apart”, doesn’t it?)
Hardly a recipe for cohesiveness and harmony, is it?
Sometimes etymology is revealing, and when the libtards at the BBC trumpet their mantra of diversity, they’re saying more than they know.
____________________________________________
Latin Roots (Ancient): It originates from the Latin diversitatem (nominative diversitas), meaning “contrariety,” “contradiction,” or “disagreement”. This itself comes from diversus, the past participle of divertere—a compound of dis- (“aside” or “apart”) and vertere (“to turn”). Literally, the word described things “turned different ways”. [towards Mecca and Rome, maybe?]
Old French (12th Century): The term entered Old French as diverseté, where it could mean “difference” and “oddness,” but also carried negative connotations like “wickedness” or “perversity“.
Middle English (14th Century): Borrowed into Middle English as diversite, it initially meant “variety,” “separateness”.
If the ridiculous mantra of, ‘diversity is out strength’, is so important to the leftie soft-heads who spout it at every turn, wouldn’t it be easier for them to spend a few years in the countries whence the illegals are ‘escaping’, and make them ‘diverse’ first?
That would save billions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money here, and enable a decent government to spend it on indigenous British Citizens instead? (Fat chance under the stupid TTK and co).
Perhaps the word ‘diversity’ should become a requirement in election manifestos, as I certainly want to put my own family, colleagues, and all True British Citizens before anyone else who rocks up illegally, expecting me to pay for their foreign lifestyle here, in my country.
The problem is that this no longer is your country. I believe that it now, effectively, belongs to Islam, with the full backing of what we laughably call a government.
I fear you’re correct, Mogs…
It seems that everything this awful government has done since getting to ‘power’, is give away our heritage, our lands, our freedoms, our rights to live in peace, our protection from illegal hordes of foreigners, and, of course, most of the money which British Citizens earn for their families and friends.
I have never known a more mendacious, deceitful crowd of anti-British people in all my short 78 years…
If I was 25 again I’d be hot footing it on the first plane out of here.
Can I sit next to you, Brissles?
Where to?
“London chose me as their mayor, not just an ethnic minority, not just a religious minority, but a Londoner of Islamic faith.” – Sadiq Khan, {cnn.com sep2016}

Today
BBC very worried about their Hamas friends getting wet in Eastern Israel – because it’s raining – perhaps they’ll have a Christmas appeal for umbrellas….
And excellent news
The medical mafia has gone on strike again until Monday 22nd …nice few days somewhere sunny –
Or they could go skiing, several places in Europe have snow at the moment.
And a lot don’t- according to photos of skiers with no-where to go !
Ah but Brissles I thought the bBBC was all for diversity on the ski slopes going by the cretinous comments by the airhead a while back on Ski Sunday.
Hang on, I thought Man-Made Climate Change has stopped snow from falling anywhere in Yurp…? At least, that is what somebody tried to tell me…
Beeboids do look a bit stupid when they yap on about climate change on one hand, then have to report snow, hail, frogs, lice etc., a few minutes later!
Note the framing of this…makes it out to be a Reform problem…not mentioning Gill wasn’t in Reform at the time of the offence….
‘The government has ordered an independent review into foreign financial interference in UK politics in response to what it called the “shocking” case of Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform UK in Wales.
Gill was jailed in November, after admitting to taking bribes for pro-Russian interviews and speeches when he was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).’
Buuuut….hmmm….what does the BBC miss out here?….
‘In 2022, MI5 issued a rare warning alleging that Ms Lee was a Chinese agent who infiltrated Parliament and made donations to politicians.
Ms Lee has previously said the MI5 alert “wrongly accused her of knowingly engaging in political interference” on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.’
Somehow they forgot this….
‘It is not normally good news when an MP is summoned to the office of parliament’s director of security. It is worse when officers from MI5 are waiting. That was Labour MP Barry Gardiner’s fate on the morning of 13 January.
He was told the meeting was about Christine Lee – a woman he had long considered a close friend. She had donated about half a million pounds to support his work and her son worked in his office.
Lee’s friendship with Gardiner had been crucial in smoothing her path into Westminster, where her contacts eventually spread across the political spectrum and to the highest levels. ‘
Clearly this latest stunt by Labour using ‘lawfare’ and undue process to try and smear Reform wuth the help of the BBC is political….but you’d be hard pushed to find where the BBC expresses any shock or dismay at our democracy and legal system being gerrymandered by Labour in its own interests.
I think the Marxists have a number of ‘grids ‘
One is to get britistan fully into the reichEU – by gradual rejoining of ‘bits ‘ – today its Erasmus – where approved types can get their kids on the gravy train
The next grid is fixing the election –
Suspending voting – giving votes to 16 year olds – done – next – today – comes an ‘inquiry into political funding ‘ – clearly aimed at Reform and stopping Elon from funding Reform
Over grids include
green crap –
Islam taking over –
fixing the legal system to repress dissidents –
Ending personal private transport
I really hope that reform has the talent to take on the blob when it gets elected .. although looking at the current polls a Labour – green crap joint regime could win – it would end us .
So Mr Gill took £40k from the Russians, and got 10 years. Beijing Barry took £500k from China and… nothing. But we don’t have two tier justice, oh no, that’s just disinformation.
Also, what did Gill do? He took money to give speeches in the European parliament. Did anyone take a blind bit of notice? He wasn’t a spy. I think he ripped the Russians off, they are the ones who should be complaining.
Some US commentators think that President Trump’s suing of the BBC is just the first phase of a plan to cripple the corporation. In the US during this type of case a court can give the plaintiff the right of discovery which allows their lawyers free and unfettered access to the defendant’s documentation on any topic which may be linked to the plaintiff across a wide range of issues.
In other words the President’s lawyers can rummage around in the BBC’s dirty washing basket to see what else they can find. Non cooperation is contempt of court and the BBC and its executive officers face swinging sanctions including prison for non compliance.
We can be pretty certain that the lawyers would unearth a mountain of highly damaging and embarrassing stuff which would then trigger another series of legal battles for the BBC .
If the BBC can’t persuade the President to settle out of court they could really be broken by this. Please Mr President don’t settle take the bastards down for us.
Reports of industrial shredders being delivered to bBC Towers are not confirmed!
Remember, ‘Perversity is their weakness’…
I think that President Trumps legal team would have plenty of cyber wizards that could rummage through cyberspace to recover quite a lot of information rather than relying on paper.
They’ve certainly done all that already, Miss Kitty!
Can’t wait for all this to drip out, bit by bit, from now on!
I might even pay a couple of quid to watch, ‘All the President’s Men’ again on Prime now – thank you for the hat-tip!
Scrobes:
Watch it if you must, but remember it is a left wing fabrication. The Watergate scandal was fabricated by the FBI to get Nixon. Why else was “Deep Throat” the deputy director of the FBI? Since when did the FBI brief journalists in car parks to bring down a president? The deep state wasn’t invented just to get Trump!
The Sun is eclipsed this morning. When ‘The People’s Paper’ does a politically safe royals frontpage splash it can shoot to the very top of the BBC’s print press pile and score first place. But wade in against Labour government policy, as the Sun does today, and it’s the relegation zone with second from bottom place just above the jokey blokey Daily Star
The BBC offending headline this morning screams: Happy ever grafter… Mum of 15… (spogs not years – although one assumes she must have started her child-bearing career early and probably in her legally anonymous teens)
Mum of 15 goes from £60,000 handouts to biz empire… once dubbed Britain’s Benefits Queen is now top businesswoman… she has blasted Labour for axing the two-child cap and urged mums to pay their own way… Her comments come as ministers consider giving benefits claiments free TV licences… BBC free… only if you’re on benefits (The Sun)
Pulled herself up by her… umbilical cords?
They do say “everyone is a liberal until they get mugged” – this lady appears to have come home to a conservative way of thinking after she got shagged – a lot.
You can see how come our vast brood of BBC boys and girls on the news staff didn’t go with the Sun frontpage for top spot today. Don’t tell me the ordering of the newspapers is random.
They’re on far safer ground with the Gruan for their top spot. Frontpage full-colour feature pin-up (as I like to say) is a far-left Somali/US congesswoman who (allegedly?): married her brother to gain US citizenship – admits the Guardian
‘A creepy obsession’ Ilhan Omar on attacks by Trump
Meanwhile, in a near hagiographic profile by Guardianista David Smith (a name suffused with anglo stale pale male resonance) breathlessly observes of his interviewee: Omar showed an unusual Zen-like calm for someone who has received frequent death-threats and is the subject of a vendetta from the most powerful man in the world
Our David seems to forget three (?) actual not virtual assassination attempts against The Donald.
Ilhan Omar: US congresswoman defends ‘offensive’ Israel remark… Ms Omar tweeted that “we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban”. (BBC, June 2021); Omar wrote back, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” a line about $100 bills from a Puff Daddy song. Critics jumped on the tweet and said Omar was calling up a negative and harmful stereotype of Jewish Americans… “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”… Omar was widely accused of anti-Semitic speech. – admitted left-leaning US NPR, March 2017
There’s more comfort and joy for BBC’ers on the Guardian cover page: UK to rejoin EU Erasmus programme for students… expected to be announced today
The invoice charging the UK taxpayer for this boon will no doubt arrive in the post from Brussels sometime in the New Year.
In the Culture War – no ceasefire there yet, despite the Cass Report, cancelled Pride Parades, etc – Ben Whishaw ‘There is still a lot of homophobia and hate’ (Guardian)
The in-the-tank for Labour Daily Mirror avoids the low ranking obscurity of fellow red tops in the BBC line-up with their splash: BBC comes out fighting… Exclusive: Lawyers ‘planning to grill president over role in riots’
So at the risk to licence payers of: $5bn (£3.7bn) lawsuit was filed over an edit of Donald Trump’s 6 January 2021 speech in a Panorama documentary. (BBC)
Our BBC will be happy to splash millions on legal fees in a politically motivated anti-Trump law suit – rather than to have apologised for their editorial wrongdoing.
Despite the gungho Mirror screamer, even the BBC’s own headline sounds a bit queazy: BBC declares it will fight Donald Trump’s defamation claim – but should it? (Katie Razzall, Culture and media editor, BBC – having qualms and setting out the pros and cons – like a good unbiased journo)
And, as we’ve come to recognise Betteridge’s Law of Headlines: Any headline that asks a closed a question can be answered by the word NO”
The sense of delusion in the BBC over the Trump libel is profound. The facts are that it was still a libel even if they still think it was only a mistake and that Trump still won the election.
Trump will win if it ends up in Court.
I’m unsure how an American Civil Court Judgement can be enforced in Britain.
Flotsam – if the BBC lost I guess they’d appeal …. But if they refused to ‘pay up ‘ the consequences for BBC America and the other secret ‘off the books ‘ BBC operations would be – hideous for them ….
As I think of it – the argument that it did no harm in the US because ‘panorama ‘ was only streamed in the UK is about as weak as can be and denies how the internet works .
More serious is a foreign state broadcaster attempting to harm the prospects of a US presidential candidate – a private US citizen at the time by deliberately publishing a false comment / story with huge ramifications …. I reckon BBC will settle before discovery – and if they refused to court is told that the BBC has nothing to ‘discover ‘ the BBC will be in bigger trouble – the cover up worse than the ‘crime ‘…
I’m seriously getting Watergate vibes here, Nixon must be convulsing with laughter in his grave. They’re just digging themselves into a deeper hole.
I really must see, ‘Washington behind closed doors’ again! that was superb, and perhaps a further few quid, (after the above flick), could be my Christmas present from the dog!
Robert Vaughn is brilliant in that series, and somehow, I always think of the nasty attack dogs so beloved by failing politicians in ‘government’ nowadays! He would have been much better than the rabid shower TTK employs too…
Blackened Lives Matter
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in Miami is where the defamation action against the BBC is happening – the way eejits are braying you’d think it was London.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
CCBGB…
Like the one reminding everybody about the Post Office scandal!
Always have to remind him of that when posting, a bit like referring to a certain mayor as Bodybags Burnham.
Yup – again!
Mid-Downing Street, Mid-London, Mid-Wherever, we’ll always remember what a very naughty boy he was…
Lefties in peculiar places are all trying to big him up, saying that Manchesterford is the better for him being Mare!
Hmmm – the bBC says the same too…
It’s customary to give mentally defectives a bye on their ravings – I’m disinclined to give the moron Davey the luxury of that ….
Horizon Postal Scandal – didn’t he make money?!
FFS can somebody please throw him in!
Another day – another Marxist dis incentive to work – this time it’s fee TV licences for the foreigners/ feckless.
This will enable TV licensing to concentrate on victimising people who pay taxes and have some dignity …. And .. of course .. the Marxists will put up the TV tax to a round £200 as part of the settlement … those with the ‘broadest shoulders ‘ can pay ‘a little bit more ‘…. Deceitful terms I despise ….
Daily Mail
Free BBC if you live on Benefits Street… and paid for, naturally, by middle-class strivers under Labour.
Middle-class families face paying more to watch the BBC to help fund free licences for benefit claimants in plans unveiled on Tuesday.
Favourites such as Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors could be placed behind a paywall and advertising introduced for the first time in the corporation’s 100-year history.
The radical proposals were unveiled by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy as she set out her vision for the funding of the BBC from 2028 as it enters its once-a-decade charter renewal. Ms Nandy defended the scandal-hit national broadcaster, heralding it as ‘an institution like no other’.
Despite the number of households refusing to pay for a TV licence growing rapidly, the Government backed the £174.50 fee, describing it as ‘tried and tested’ and saying it was not considering an alternative.
But just three weeks after Rachel Reeves’ ‘Benefits Street Budget’, which saw taxes raised by £30billion to partly fund huge new welfare handouts, the plans suggest wealthier households may have to pay more to fund targeted ‘concessions’ or even free licences for benefit claimants.
The policy paper said the Government was considering ‘further targeted interventions to support household budgets’, and was looking at international models, hinting heavily at following the German template, where concessions are given to those ‘who receive social benefits and to some students’. The German guide states: ‘Individuals who receive social benefits… may be exempted from contribution.’
The public consultation adds: ‘Changes to the BBC’s funding model could allow new TV licence concessions, which would provide discounted TV licences for some households such as those facing significant financial pressures. New concessions could require other households to pay more.
John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘It’s absurd to squeeze middle-class taxpayers harder while floating new licence fee exemptions for benefit claimants.
The licence fee is already regressive, and shifting more of the burden on to working households just entrenches unfairness and fuels resentment.’
Former culture secretary John Whittingdale said the licence fee model was ‘unsustainable’ and should be replaced. He added: ‘Shifting it so that rich households pay more or small, low-income households don’t, is not going to address the big problem, which is that the number of people who are not paying it at all is going to go on increasing.’
Nandy said: ‘This Green Paper begins the conversation about how to ensure the BBC remains the beating heart of our nation for decades to come.’
Despite the number of people who pay the fee declining – down from 25.2 million in 2020 to 23.8 million in the latest figures – it provides the national broadcaster with more than half its income, bringing in £3.8billion this year.
Ms Nandy is looking at other options for the corporation to raise funds, including allowing the BBC to run adverts across all of its services. Another option would see the corporation restrict adverts to iPlayer, the BBC website, and videos posted on YouTube. But the proposals would likely draw a huge backlash from commercial competitors, with Mr Whittingdale predicting the likes of ITV and Channel 4 would be ‘appalled’.
Another idea is for older programmes on iPlayer to go behind a paywall in a ‘top-up subscription service’. There are also plans for a ‘more expansive’ Netflix-style service putting hit entertainment shows behind a paywall. Kemi Badenoch said the corporation ‘urgently needs to get its house in order’ before a future funding model is decided.
The Tory leader said: ‘If it can’t maintain high editorial standards and produce truly impartial news, that puts the future of the licence fee in jeopardy.
‘The BBC needs to make sure that it works for all of the people of the United Kingdom, not just the metropolitan elites.
Reform MP Richard Tice said: ‘The licence fee is an obsolete tax that has no place in a modern competitive media landscape.
A Reform UK government will scrap the BBC licence fee.’
The consultation also suggests the charter should be updated to ensure that ‘accuracy’ is deemed just as important as ‘impartiality’. It comes just weeks after the resignation of director-general Tim Davie and BBC News boss Deborah Turness over the doctored Donald Trump speech.
As usual, the Daily Mail was fully supportive, despite pretending otherwise. Consider this deceitful gem: “Despite the number of households refusing to pay for a TV licence growing rapidly…”. No. They are not refusing, if they do not watch television they simply do not require a TV licence.
foreigners/feckless…how dare you insult Labour’s voters…along with all the young they hope to capture via surrendering to th e EU.
Well he might not know or remember anything but I bet he knew how to get hold of a taxpayer-funded lawyer.
Twàt.
Just a bit of lateral thinking.
If the Bondi massacre had been a car – would the politicians have been talking about banning them?
I thought they were trying to do that already.
Regarding tomo’s post about Ed Davey saying the conservatives and Reform are cheering Trump on against the bbbc.
If anybody thinks the bbbc is impartial, why are the two parties on the Right against the bbbc and all the other parties which are on the left support the bbbc.
If the bbbc was truly impartial then all our parties would support it.
The bbbc being left wing gets support from its fellow left wingers.
If true blows the BBC defence out of the water as they insist the clip wasn’t viewed in the US and had no material effect upon Trump….and anyway…it was just a mistake.
Clearly something serious is afoot. It looks ominously like we’re being put on a war footing…
Almost in one voice, the liberal media, The Guardian, Independent, Sky News et al, those organisations that are usually more concerned with the environment, trans issues and BLM, are now urging us to take up arms against Russia. I mean WTF?
Russia have been bogged down in the Ukraine for three years, so how are they a realistic threat to us?
And why would all those feeble, limp wristed pinkoes suddenly become so gung-ho and patriotic? These same people have been standing at Dover with placards saying “REFUGEES WELCOME” for the last five years and calling those of us that protested thugs and racists. These people have openly welcomed a third world invasion, but now they want us to obediently trot off to become cannon fodder in a pointless war that doesn’t involve us.
Not this time. I’m sitting this one out…
The leftoid war wankers keen to spout on telly, in newspapers etc. – every last one of them less than keen to look closely at and talk about the Ukraine situation – or go take a look in person.
For more than a century, globalists and leftists have been of the opinion that war is the best way for effecting social change. The American billionaire class have been pumping money into this cause since the early 20th Century. Besides being good for business, war neatly dovetails into the discredited Open Society ideas of Popper, Soros and the EU.

bbc celebrates in its reporting of – UK to rejoin EU’s Erasmus student exchange programme
“and are part of a broader planned reset of UK-EU relations by the Labour government” – dread to think what they are stitching us up with
The greater voted out, but this lot in government know better!
Carefully avoiding mention of recent changes to the Erasmus programme, whereby ‘students’ from North Africa and the Middle East can now participate, thus ensuring that the immigration scam continues.
Hello Ian
What the hell is wrong with labour and this so called government
Reform are going to have such a mess to unravel
How curry for Christmas helps us avoid child meltdowns

Hello MarkyMark
2. Build your own traditions – and how to destroy others
As one who lives in the middle-of-nowhere North Wales, this puzzled me: “We’ve stopped having Christmas dinner on Christmas Day,” he explains and instead they cook it on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. Then on the day itself we’re not stressing about a big project and we just play with the kids and order a curry in the evening.”
Is it really possible, other than in BBC La La Land, to order a takeaway curry on Christmas Day? Barely possible here on any other day…!
Yes, it is. The government has been busy importing black-market-unlicensed-cash-in-hand delivery drivers for the likes of Uber, Deliveroo and Just Eat. Ordering a Christmas Day curry will soon be as traditional as racist anti-White Christmas adverts from supermarkets comprising 90% ethnic minorities.
An ever-increasing (invading) population don’t celebrate Christmas so why not? We’re basically not bothering this year. Tree up, some cards, the rest can stuff itself.
Pretty clear they don’t !!! – in fact, every utterance from the Labour Party displays quite profound, deep ignorance laced with hypocrisy and dishonesty.
Quite simply they mustn’t be allowed to have the full term – a faction of them already know that ….
When DJT won the election Reiner went into a rehab !!!
Amazing. When the Pakistanis take over a town, the Pakistani way of doing politics takes over too. Who could ever have believed it?
RIP Oldham.
Joining this Erasmus student scheme will cost us £570 million in the first year.
Do I understand it correctly, it’s a scheme where eu students can come here to our universities and our students can go to eu universities.
If that is so, does the eu also have to pay us £570 million a year to use our uni’s or is it only a one way payment. I think I can guess the answer to that one.
Also, while I can see tens of thousands of eu students wanting to come here (they can all speak English) I can’t imagine many of our lot going to universities in Croatia, Portugal and many other places where English is not their national language.
Like those who point out the ‘asylum seeker/refugee’ return scheme we had whilst in the eu saw far more sent to us than we sent back, this will also be a very one sided deal with a fraction of our lot going abroad compared with those coming in and taking uni places.
Everything this awful government does is dreadful and all their deals are hopeless. Seriously, this is our worst ever government. King Midas in reverse government.

……………….
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has repeatedly pledged transparency, calling for an open government with new rules for ministers, but faces criticism for perceived failures to deliver, particularly regarding releasing certain data and handling political donations, with ongoing debate about balancing openness with governance needs. While his government emphasizes openness and collaboration, critics point to instances where data requests were denied or transparency commitments seemed to waver, prompting renewed calls for accountability from Transparency International and others.
Watch out !!
Everything is being done to you by stealth. Everything.
A new format from your energy provider? No longer identifying the Standing Charge as named such. No merely, “charge”. Projected annual usage by the provider? Well, just total cost per year. Steering you away from recognising (for me and my usage) the Standing Charge is virtually equal to my gas use. I suspect the ‘Millibrain charge’ is set to rocket in the future.
Hidden in plain sight? Ignore the likes of Martin Lewis’ “MSE’s money tips” and search the only energy provider the public don’t hear about:
Utilita. Never heard of them? No, me neither. Had I not been in communication with OFGEM I would not have known.
Extending Microsoft 10 updates until October 2026? Go for it and see the impositions that spy agency install to keep abreast of what you get up to/visit.
Don’t get me going on the steps to rejoin the EU……………..
Stealth? It’s front and centre and applauded.
Erasmus. Students have been attending Universities around the World for centuries. I don’t see why any special scheme is required, a student Visa would do surely? It’s simply the UK bowing to EU regulation.
It will be a back door for illegal immigration, fake students, fake learning institutes. I imagine the gangs running the rubber boats will make lots of dosh from creating fake Universities and Passports. The scheme is for under 30’s, we seem to already have Asian 40 year old’s in our Schools.
I am sure the University of Neasden (above Mr Patel’s mini mart) will be expanding its non-residential MA in marketing as we speak.
Now, here’s an amusing little story…
I take it most of you remember the excitement generated by “Beachy Head Woman”, a Roman era skeleton, once hailed as the earliest known black Briton. Forensic anthropologists suggested the woman was likely to have been from sub-Saharan Africa. They were so confident they even erected a plaque informing us of this “fact”.
The BBC were camped down there and we were all being told that this confirmed Britain’s long tradition of multiculturalism. Oh dear.
Within a year or two scientists had changed their minds and thought she was more likely to have emanated from Cyprus.
Now, DNA science has progressed and a rather more prosaic and realistic truth has emerged. It appears that Beachy Head Woman is a local lass…probably from Eastbourne.
I’m maliciously stifling a laugh. They so wanted this nonsense to be true…
Beachy Head Woman. Didn’t they find pieces of rotted rubber boat near her?……………….
Rather disgracefully, the monument to the ‘Sub-Saharan woman’ (sic) is still in place on the seafront at Eastbourne. The racial fantasy of the York ‘Ivory bangle woman’ is still being promoted, as is the black (sic) Cheddar Gorge man myth. Intentionally misrepresenting the origins of the British people for political gain should be a criminal offence.
Rather astonishingly, the best report demolishing this lie is carried by the BBC’s comrade organisation, The Guardian, to whom kudos is due. They’ve even got an artist’s impression of the blonde, blue-eyed former ‘sub-Saharan African woman’ …

UK to rejoin EU’s Erasmus student exchange programme
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4g654qgl83t
I must have something wrong here.
As I read it, it is a student exchange program. Anyone from the vast EU can come here free of charge and anyone from little old UK can go to the EU free of charge.
And for the privilege of funding all those EU students, WE are paying the EU £570 million.
The BBC tell us:
‘It will come at a significant cost of £570 million, which the government is keen to stress is 30% less than the default price for non EU member states.’
What the BBC DON’T tell us is that it is for the first year only. The amount for the year after is not agreed – so basically the EU will charge us the full amount.
How do we get rid of this far-Left traitor in no. 10 ?. Like the BBC, Starmer is unable to read the room of the country. And also like the BBC he doesn’t care.
“UK to rejoin EU” it’s so close! We can rename the UK by Adding an “E” and removing the “K” hah aha hha haha ha h a!

INVADE FRANCE TO STOP THE INVASION!
PMQs
To summarise – hand wringing about the slaughter in bondi – neither TTK or post office Davey could say ‘Islamic terrorist ‘ – you’d need to guess the cause – at least thd coloured girl mentioned it …
Nigel Farage got – maybe 3 slurs – without the right to reply – he lives in so many outgoing heads …. They really are all frightened of him ….
BTW – I see the vermin are trying to slur reform on expenses again …
There is a grid of attacking Reform on the number 10 white board ….
They’re going to “investigate” Reform – aren’t they?

Poor lamb, the PTSD must have been terrible, I do hope his therapy helps.
Just heard that when we were in the Erasmus scheme the numbers were twice as many coming in compared to the number of our students going over to the eu universities.
The 30% discount is for the first year then I suppose it will be the full £800 million next year.
Surely they should be paying us £1140 million (first year, £1600 million next year)
It all stinks.
We all know TTK never answers any questions on PMQ’s
However…
I’ve noticed it’s not all the time.
When he gets a ‘planted’ ‘question’ from one of his own MPs and it’s a question where he thinks it makes Labour look good or they’ve just opened a factory or done a trade deal, those types of questions, and he has all their details written down for him to reel off, he WILL answer that question.
All other questions you just get word salad, waffle and slagging off Reform.
Park the problem on their garden….
On matters noticing…
The sheer level of propaganda coordination between lefty pols, NGOs and msm.
Currently swirling between them all is BBC, Trump, Farage on a mutual back scratch basis.
From the comments, I don’t think Suze is helping.

“He still got elected with a very high vote after the programme was aired, so how did it actually damage him?”

‘I would go further than fight this case, I would launch a counter-case for $11 billion, suing him for defaming the whole body of BBC journalists.’

It has to be said, looking at factual replies… ladies, still not helping.
Unless very bent judge and jury and incompetence by prosecution (not unheard of) a sewer load of msm TDS opinion vs. legal facts… maybe STFU now?
Crick is an odious piece of shit with severe TDS. He knows nothing of law it seems. The BBC is going to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
Final PMQs of the year….
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/12/17/starmer-faces-mps-final-pmqs-of-year/
Was it a list all the things that never crossed his desk?
There was only one ‘I won’t take lectures from….”
There was no ‘Shame on them ‘this time – and no ‘ never crossed my desk ‘ ……and unusually – no ‘breakfast clubs ‘ … two references to the members for Clacton – the desperation of the attempted slurs are pretty pitiful .
Joe Public can see a contrived attack based on pure fear when they hear one – and the comrade speaker lets them run because he knows he will be gone in 2029 ….
It really was a most appalling session for TTK!
He waffled uncontrollably, showed considerable fear of the truth, was unable to get his lot behind him, and quite frankly, lost the plot!
I’ve noticed that – like many unsuited ‘politicians’, local councillors etc., their voices become more and more strangulated as they continue to read their written-posts, the reedy voice becomes a sort of whine, and the guilt of being totally inept and out of their depth is just embarrassing!
I always thought that barristers were in their jobs as vocal advocates, skilled in their delivery, and well-versed individuals – I certainly couldn’t do their job, (I never had the Latin), but someone told me that TTK is supposed to be one!
What?
On matters media, luvvie, etc…

“Direct hit, Sir.”
Churchill was skeptical of such an impressive claim at that distance. How was it possible to hit the target so far away? So he inquired, “A direct hit on what?”
The answer delivered both a humorous punchline and a warning: “France, Sir.”
I’m just wondering how long it will be before the Uk imports more illegal invaders each day, than tourists arrive.
No, forget that, there won’t be any room for tourist to come, as all our hotels will be full.
