Am I first? A Xmas prayer to ask the Lord to stop Starmer signing us up to the EU energy grid.
A vain hope,I know. Not sure I can take much more of this govt – I’m ready to protest – legally of course.
I always believe that people should put money where their mouth is .
So let’s set up a BBC defence fund .
We’ll go to LibDim constituencies as chuggers to collect cash and even better sign up the mugs … sorry concerned Ed Davey supporters to pledge bank details to fight the evil Trump ,,spits ,, who wants the BBC to tell the truth . With any luck no BBC presenter or editor would have their wages and pensions jeopardised . Or even admonished for something no other media , established or new internet, would get away with .
Because don’t forget , the BBC may despise us ordinary folk but it is our BBC * and if we want to pay for an organisation that subtly demeans us every day then that’s Democracy even if we haven’t voted for it . I think the BBC has said . It doesn’t matter it’s between a blue Labour or red Labour minister.
* although when the BBC says its Your BBC they seem keen to broadcast all over the world to non paying listeners and viewers .
If we are going to keep the House of Lords, why not make it so that only hereditary Lords can attend and all these mp’s mates and those who bought their lordships are not allowed any vote.
That would clear out several hundred of them.
They can still call themselves lords if it’s so important to them.
Dire audience for the bBC Christmas day ‘entertainment’. Wie schadet.
The employees still have not worked out that there is a significant minority who believe it is unacceptable to distort news. Here in lies the bad news because the employees’ arrogant and entitled attitude has ensured a significant minority of the British population who will resort to civil disobedience rather than pay the marxist tarrif.
Now stir in a Christmas schedule which shows financial distress (assumption but not unreasonable) and you have a perfect storm.
The irony is that the bBC’s pursuit of diversity has extinguished any lateral thought in the organisation – and it is probably fatal.
I was trying to remember how I first came to Biased BBC. It was in the early days of Google and I had seen something on the BBC that was so biased I was full of indignation and wanted to find out if others felt that way too. Google brought me here and to like minded people. Now whether BiasedBBC then shaped my thinking or whether I would have come to the same conclusions anyway, I shall never know. Climate Change, the Far Left, the Middle East, Immigration, Covid, my thoughts often (but not always) are similar to others who post here. Thanks to Fedup2, and those who run this site, but also to others who post here. This site allowed us to become free thinkers but not alone in our thinking. Thanks to all.
‘We will vote but not with our hearts’ (BBC) – have the Beeb suddenly cottoned on to the sentiment, or lack thereof, behind Keir Starmer’s fluke of a win at the last general election?
I jest of course. That would be wrong headed of me. This is our BBC on the road to to Mandalay: Inside the election staged by Myanmar’s military rulers (Jonathan Head, South East Asia correspondent, Reporting from Mandalay…) – where the flying fishes play… and only last week our BBC were carping how Donald Trump hadn’t brokered a peace deal. More on that sort of thing later.
My oh my, Myanmar, that was the second top story on the BBC news web site after their top story for us to consider with our cold turkey sandwiches (giblets a treat for our tabby puss): Thailand and Cambodia agree ceasefire after weeks of deadly clashes (Tabby Wilson, BBC)
For a moment there I thought the BBC thought we were all living somewhere East of Suez, back in the old days of empire.
I doubt yer average Beeboid enjoys Kipling… and we rarely have a chance to Kipple…
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin’-fishes play,
An’ the dawn comes up like thunder outer China ‘crost the Bay!
“Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!”
Sometimes these segueways…
UK to offer military ‘gap year’ to boost recruitment… to solve long-term recruitment and retention problems in the armed forces. (Joe Pike, Political correspondent, BBC) – “don’t tell him Pike!” – citizen pikes and pitchforks at dawn… more of that later.
Mr AsI thanks the BBC for their top pick of the UK print titles this morning which delivers the gift-wrapped present of one of those prized close juxtapositions of features that give the lie to a prevailing narrative.
While the regime mouthpiece Times runs with the headline: Royal trips to woo Trump… in the new year as part of a charm offensive… Downing Street hopes to use these as an incentive to get a full UK-US trade deal signed by Trump
So while the headline editorial purports to play nicey-nicey with the US president (despite the repeated convicted felon-like in-house style descriptor ‘Trump’) – also prominently featured frontpage, just below the Times masthead, we note the teaser for: The best cartoons of the year by Peter Brookes – don’t be surprised (and not exactly amused) to observe the example sketch is a riff on that famous artwork by Grant Wood depicting the Midwestern farmer, picthfork in hand standing next to his wife, American Gothic (1930).
In the cartoon image favoured by the Times for frontpage display our farmer is Putin, having pitchforked a tiny Zelensky (I thought we were told we were winning this proxy war) and in the role of the compliant wife is Donald Trump.
Why not Keir Starmer in the guise of Whistler’s Mother, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1871)?
How about Sir Keir and Angey Rayner as Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks (1942) (Shitehawks?) – her the disinterested in him red-head in the suggestive red frock and him the souless annonymous-looking chap adjacent to her at the late night bar counter.
Obviously: Boxing Day shopping falls flat once again… Barclays expects shoppers to spend £3.6bn in the sales, down from the £4.6bn they forecast for the sales in 2024, with fewer people planning to bargain hunt than last year. The amount spent online is also predicted to fall. (Faarea Masud, Business reporter, BBC) – we’re not going with Norman Rockwell’s Freedom from Want (1943) image of an all-American feast. An apron-clad grandmother proudly presents a golden-roasted turkey to a multi-generation family. Perish the thought of that in our modern Yookay.
Let’s exit the great art gallery of Americana and round off with the stark divide in opinion betwixt: NHS twice as reliant on foreign doctors… Britain falls behind other Western nations by failing to hire home-grown medics (Telegraph)
…and on the other hand: NHS at risk as overseas doctors put off by by racism (Guardian)
The multicultural NHS dream boat – scuppered by penny pinching and white flight brain drain, or by intensly pumped activist anti-racism agit prop – you decide?
The supply of homegrown medics has been deliberately restricted for many years as a policy to put invaders in positions of authority and make poor old whitey reliant on them. It’s just one of many policies to re engineer our country without our knowledge or consent. God help future generations.
Asiseeit – I think Christmas shows the madness of the BBC at its ‘ ‘best ‘,- it tries to return to a time when Britain was fairly unified – no internet – morecambe and wise Christmas show – but now faces the fact that few watch the crap it puts out – not even the ‘emirs’ message to Muslims ‘ which only got 4? Million …. Which goes to show what people think of that turd .
Anyway – now the BBC is going on about Boxing Day sails – as if the internet or the crap ‘Black Friday ‘ didn’t happen . Usually there would be footage of a bunch of foreigners charging through the doors of a department shop to bag a cheap VHS recorder – but guess what BBC – it’s 2025 ..6 …
Generally on Christmas – the whole existence of the BBC has been to undermine the bits which make up Christmas – destroying Christianity- top of the list – destroying normal family life – another easy one – producing nut job kids with ‘issues ‘ job done ….
But then the BBC will revert to the all powerful when it puts out ‘the night manager ‘ with a public schoolboy actor in constant peril for 6 episodes with a stereotype ‘plain ‘ northern accented helper … massive triumph ….
We have been watching re runs of Inspector Lewis on ITVX in the order of their original transmission from 2005 to 2015. There were nearly 40 episodes over those 10 years. It was fascinating to watch the gradual appearance of more and more black and brown characters as the series continued and also as such characters assumed ever more prominent and powerful roles in the stories.
I know this true of the entire output of British TV over those years as the country was ‘re engineered ‘ by the liberal elite into the shit hole it has become today.
This isn’t the case in every country though. You can still watch European programmes that have a wholly or predominately European cast of characters. Walter Presents on Channel Four being the best hunting ground for such programmes .
I know it’s escapism to want to see Europe as it was in the days before the invasion and take over began but I am a sucker for such nostalgia. I don’t like having my nose rubbed in the reality of the stinking mess that we have been forced to become.
Double – yes I noticed that too – as a hard core Morse ‘fan ‘ i turned my nose up at Lewis ( particularly a woman superintendent who couldn’t act ) but was surprised at how good endeavour was …. The first 3? Series of morse were special for the time but it went down hill due to staff changes i think ….
I liked Endeavour at the start, but didn’t it go woke just like the others ? (Grantchester, Father Brown etc).
I went from 3 or 4 programs I liked down to zero almost overnight.
I also really liked Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse in the first low-budget ‘gone fishing’ series. Then it paused and all of a sudden there were several new series. So I watched the first one:
I noticed it didn’t seem quite as easy going and natural as the others. Then we had Bob on the bank talking to Paul as he was fishing. We could see Paul as Bob talked. Then the camera switched for Paul’s reply – and it was from over his shoulder looking at Bob. Instantly showing me that a) it was being filmed in separate ‘takes’ and thus b) it was now entirely scripted.
Good old BBC. They ruin everything they meddle with.
Morning Fed, I hope you seeing off the last of that nasty flu!
I’m revisiting Morse at the moment – we always liked John Thaw, and Neville from Auf Wiedersehn Pet, but I dare say that they couldn’t do much these days, because Oxford have banned cars, shops, citizens etc., and just woked the old place to death!
Frost is worth a revisit; at least it seems to have the right mix of actors and actresses (are you allowed to be an actress these days?)…
Sickness report – I got a bug in my late teens which a quack told me would thereafter knock my resistance if hit with colds and flu . I got this one coming back to the UK . It’s quite an event . Im coming out of it now but this is day 7 …. Sleep pattern is screwed – 12 hours sleep a day …. Im counting down the days until I get out of the country again and get some sunlight .
On the ‘detective ‘ debate – JohnC says that endeavour went woke and on reflection i think he’s right ….
On the genre generally ( ugh ) i think it’s a pity that the ‘big star ‘ is invariably going to be the ‘baddy’ so that there can be a big scene at the end ….
I think the BBC is going to give that ‘police corruption ‘ show another whipping in 2026 – I couldn’t stand it because of the poor acting sounding as though they were reading from cards – but people seemed to like it
This time of year i try to plot what’s coming next year. I don’t think I will do it for 2026 ….
DT I’ve watched Walter Presents for years as, like you say, no woke or diversity. The European film makers care little for our dusky and very dusky friends. Storylines sre excellent too and I prefer sub-title reading anyway
As another indicator of just how far out of touch the BBC are from the real world in their bizarre Londonistan bubble, here are their ‘defining moments of 2025’:
1. Beyoncé’s Grammy reaction – Never heard of it
2. Sydney Sweeney’s denim drama – Complete with the new Lefty activists phrase ‘a dog whistle’ – this time for for ‘white supremacy’
3. Lily Allen’s revenge – A vile, unpleasant woman
4. Adolescence: A one-shot wonder – Totally racist misrepresentation of the truth
5. Dubai chocolate floods the shelves – Never heard of it
6. The endlessly parodied Jet2 advert -Never saw it
7. EsDeeKid’s video with Timothée Chalamet -Never heard of any of them
8. Labubu mania prompts consumer chaos – Never heard of it
9. David Tennant’s bonkers Bafta song -Can’t stand this BBC favourite. He is clearly friends with some people who write the cheques
10. Rachel Zegler’s film flop (and theatre triumph) – Another vile woman.
11. Streaming hits (and misses). – Yawn.
12. Alan Carr turning into a cold-blooded killer – Yawn. Carr is another BBC favourite.
13. Adrien Brody’s never-ending Oscars speech – Never saw it.
14. The celeb-packed Blue Origin space flight – The biggest sexist farce of the decade.
And that’s it. It seems the BBC and people like me live in entirely different worlds now. Why should we have to fund them ?.
JohnC – X has sent me to never ending mini videos – is it ‘tic tok ‘ with stuff my ‘Steve Inman ‘ which often cheers me up … you’d have to watch to understand why …
JohnC – yes – that’s the one – im addicted now to a daily dose of laugh out loud / ouch … the shootings of armed robbers is a guilty ..er .. something …
What makes even funnier for me is that you know the lefty activist hypocrites are enraged at the man and desperately want to call him all their worst names but they can’t : the ‘victims’ absolutely deserved it.
You used to be able to guess the year of Midsomer Murders by the car registrations or the technology of the computers the police used. Now it’s the number of ethnics they can squeeze into an episode. Fully one quarter in last night’s ITV3 offering, The Wolf of Little Worthy.
———————–
Strictly Come Dancing was the sole BBC programme to witness a surge in viewership on Christmas Day 2025, compared to the previous year.
The broadcaster suffered a significant setback this year as none of its shows managed to outperform The King’s Speech.
In contrast, last year’s Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special more than doubled the viewership of the speech. Last year, both Gavin and Stacey, and Wallace and Gromit, attracted substantial audiences to the channel, with 12.3 million and 9.4 million views respectively.
Meanwhile, the Strictly Christmas Special saw an increase in viewership, pulling in 4.35 million views, up from 4.05 million in 2024.
However, it marked the final show for Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, making it a significant event for viewers.
The King’s Speech maintained its viewership from last year, drawing in 6 million viewers.
Several shows, including Call The Midwife, EastEnders, and The Weakest Link, failed to attract viewers.
Call The Midwife saw a drop in viewership, attracting 3.4 million viewers this year, down from 4.4 million last year, reports the Express.
EastEnders experienced a dramatic decline, with the first episode drawing in 2.8 million viewers and the second episode 2.2 million, compared to the previous year’s figures of 4 million for the first episode and 4.4 million for the second – a staggering difference
Yes, I used to love Midsomer Murders…all those homicidal maniacs loitering under the thatched roofs. The stories were quite fantastic and never supposed to be realistic, but that was all part of their charm…
However, the latest productions are just irritatingly woke. I caught 10 minutes of an episode before Christmas. One tiny rural village had more minorities than majorities.
On the 2026 thing – I reckon the papers will be reporting the exodus of good people from the UK . Mrs cabbage – sorry broccoli has changed her residence from UK to US – very wise – and we will witness more to follow . Comrade Dyson was moaning about inheritance tax destroying his company as a ‘family ‘ one – coupled with mad energy and labour costs UK should be empty by 2027 with full replacement …
Looking at the posts about how the dramas (and everything else) are being woked up to the eyeballs and where you know who the good and bad guys are depending on their ethnicity I’m happy about one of the effects of ageing.
I have dvd sets of Minder, Auf wiedersehen pet, The Avengers (Emma Peel complete set) Yes (Prime) Minister and lots of similar series which, due to memory, I can re-watch every few years and still enjoy them.
As well as that I can get series such as Only fools and horses and other older stuff (on catch up or other channels) when tv was worth watching. I’m currently in the middle of watching The Bill which is still ok (but showing signs of going woke)
Another advantage of watching these older dramas is that they are recorded much better than modern stuff. I can understand and hear clearly all the dialogue and there’s not much of the ‘clever’ picture effects like blurring or flashing pictures which the youngsters seem to cram into their camera work thinking they are being innovative or making the presentation better when it’s distracting, annoying and often unwatchable.
Modern dialogue on dramas is very often hard to make out with all the mumbling and whispering. If you turn the volume up to hear it there’s often a very loud bit comes straight afterwards which means grabbing the remote to mute the volume.
As the largest demographic of the tv viewers are older (I guess) you would think they might make dramas watchable by having clear sound and vision but they are after the youth who only see to watch stuff on the net.
They are trying to please the minority and ignoring the majority. Where else have I came across that?
Also, the ageing memory means I can re read lots of books.
I have the complete Flashman novels (brilliant and the complete opposite of woke) plus the Tom Sharpe books, the South African ones are the best two.
Something suitably seasonal – this was in the BBC Londonistan local news – another Cardiff choir boy ….
“A teenager who joked about attacking his classmates with homemade guns has been convicted of possession of a firearm and producing explosives.
Sakhile Ntsele, from Wandsworth in south-west London, spent years making a collection of weapons in his bedroom, his trial heard.
Police discovered the armoury after the now 18-year-old attacked a family member with a sword he had made from a metal bar in October 2024. Seven improvised explosive devices and five firearms with ammunition were found in his room.”
Sentencing is in February 2026 – im guessing a TTK Judge will give the monster a suspended sentence…
I remember reading a book by George MacDonald Fraser (author of the Flashman books). In this book he decried what was happening to the UK (going woke, liebour etc). It may have been called the Lights on at Signpost.
I’ve not read this, but like the sound of it and I really enjoyed the Flashman stories.
Apparently, it got “mixed reviews” in (of all places) The Guardian…well, there’s a surprise…
The reviewer found his film anecdotes interesting, but didn’t like his gloomy political prognosis. George wasn’t a fan of New Labour, couldn’t abide Tony Blair and thought the country was going to hell in a handcart.
I reckon I’m going to read all my Neville Shute novels again. He was certainly one of the best writers of his time with frequent pokes at the ‘establishment’. government stupidity and interference, the crassness of the civil service and early versions of what we call woke these days!
I got the whole lot on Ebay for just a few quid, and some evenings, I just couldn’t put the book down – then spent the night flying, designing planes, airships etc., in a plethora of dreams and nightmares!
I can see it doesn’t add up – I mean, really doesn’t add up – unfailingly there’s a V8 Audi with blacked out windows within 100m and I rarely (feels like never) see anyone actually getting a haircut.
We got a huge money laundering racket in the UK with Zero customer Turkish barbers, every other shop in every town/village is networked thru mosques, Starmer knows and refuses to debate this blatant fraud, a simple check of the premises cctv ref takings would confirm criminality https://t.co/RcGYv70IBt
There are currently 165 BBC-funded Local Democracy Reporters (LDRs) embedded in UK regional and local news organisations, including newspapers, radio stations, online outlets, and other media.
The people aren’t described as BBC – they totally swerve volunteering that.
It seems to be a growing business model just where you might expect it…. (“5 eyes” territory)
Regime stenography is a growth business :
Several countries have launched initiatives similar to the UK’s BBC-funded Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), where public or government funding supports journalists embedded in local or regional newsrooms to cover civic issues, councils, and underserved communities. These programs aim to address declining local journalism, often by placing reporters in independent outlets with shared content.
Canada:
Local Journalism Initiative (LJI)Launched in 2019 by the federal government.
Funds Canadian media organizations to hire journalists (full-time or freelance) for original civic journalism in underserved areas, including Indigenous, official-language minority, ethnic, and rural communities.
Administered by independent non-profit organizations (not directly by CBC/Radio-Canada).
Supports over 400 journalists across hundreds of outlets.
Extended multiple times, with renewed funding through 2027.
Closely mirrors the UK’s model in focusing on local democracy and public interest reporting.
New Zealand:
Local Democracy Reporting (LDR) ProgrammeLaunched in 2019 by public broadcaster Radio New Zealand (RNZ), explicitly modeled on the BBC’s LDRS.
Funded by RNZ with support from NZ On Air (public funding agency).
Employs around 16 reporters embedded in host newsrooms (e.g., newspapers, radio) across regional New Zealand.
Focuses on coverage of local authorities, councils, and public institutions; stories are shared widely with partner media.
Includes partnerships with iwi (Māori) radio stations for cultural relevance.
Norway:
Public broadcaster NRK engages in local news partnerships involving content sharing, resource support, investigative collaboration, and training with regional media.
These efforts help fill gaps in local accountability reporting, similar to the BBC’s broader Local News Partnerships (which include the LDRS).
United States:
No direct public broadcaster-funded equivalent exists (due to limited federal support for media), but comparable programs include:Report for America (launched 2017): A nonprofit service program placing emerging journalists in local newsrooms to cover under-reported issues. Funded by philanthropy (e.g., Google News Initiative, Knight Foundation, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative). It has supported hundreds of reporters in over 300 newsrooms, often in news deserts.
Various state-level or philanthropic funds (e.g., community news funds in places like California and New Jersey) support local hiring, but not via a national public broadcaster.
Australia:
No exact embedded reporter scheme yet, but discussions are ongoing about modeling partnerships on the BBC/RNZ examples. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is exploring collaborations with regional publishers to combat news deserts, supported by federal initiatives like the News Media Assistance Program.These initiatives reflect a global recognition of the “democracy deficit” caused by shrinking local news coverage, with public funding increasingly used to sustain independent reporting on public institutions. The UK’s LDRS has directly inspired adaptations in New Zealand and influenced approaches elsewhere.
Not so long ago a DT journalist described the DT as having 4 political journalists. Nice to know that the numbers prove how right wing the UK press is.
The UK’s Renewable Obligation (RO) offered wind and solar farms additional payments on top of the wholesale power price. However, it closed to new entrants in 2017 following concerns that it was far too generous.
Today, the scheme still costs consumers £8bn a year and accounts for the largest chunk of green levies on a typical household’s electricity bill, at roughly £102 out of £963 a year. It will continue running until 2037, although payments are expected to peak next year.
Trump has done something heroic in Nigeria, taking out vipers’ nests of islamic terrorists who’ve been merrily massacring, slaughtering, butchering, kidnapping, raping and torturing Christians for decades, ignored by the pusillanimous cowards at the biased BBC.
So how does the obscene BBC report it? This morning, I saw them dig up and interview some black ‘human rights’ lawyer (probably muslim) who explained (lied) that it wasn’t really Muslims against Christians, and that Trump’s rhetoric was exacerbating the situation on the ground. (Exactly how you can make getting tortured, raped and murdered worse, he didn’t explain.)
The BBC interviewer, of course, didn’t challenge or question any of this ‘expert’s’ statements.
(For those who’ve been watching the BBC too long to understand what’s going on in the world, “Human rights lawyer” = biased, leftist, anti-western, anti-Christian, anti-white, islamist commie activist in 99% of cases.)
Note, the creepy BBC presenter says that viewers have been on a swift learning curve about the situation in Nigeria. Only because of the msm complicity of silence. Those of us who care have known about the massacres for YEARS.
PS. The above ‘human rights lawyer’ has in his bio : working at the intersection of justice, governance, and security, bla bla.
Governance should be a red flag : it features in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) which is a sinister acronym meaning leftists can impose their propaganda and ‘values’ on companies and other organisations.
The BBC, of course, love all that liberal globalist leftist socialist cr*p.
In Poundbury? – there is no record or evidence of migrants, asylum seekers, or refugees being housed in Poundbury, Dorset, or in any other properties owned by the British Royal Family, such as those managed by the Duchy of Cornwall or the Crown Estate.

Like most of us here I despise the BBC, its bias and costly licence fee. So I turn to social media – Twitter X and Facebook. With the former I need verification, £98 pa minimum, and the latter has news items with information in the first comment which requires some kind of commitment. Not wishing to praise the BBC but we do need alternatives to the Licence which are not so expensive.
Sometimes one might wonder if TTK is sticking to a self destructive script – seeing how far he can go before fate stops him ….
Today it has come to pass that the Egyptian be has boasted about turns out to hate you – me – white peoples – the west – the lot.. in the name of a false evil ‘religion ‘ ..
Genrick is formally raising the issue so the start of 2026 shouid shoe even more people what TTK is / was ..
I read that TTK has gaffed badly by enthusiastically welcoming an Egyptian activist to the UK after release from prison. Only for it to become clear that this wholesome gent has previously called for the extinction of all zionists amongst other depraved wishes.
The fool could not make a bigger clown of himself if he had help…..
Nigel Nelson pointed out that Alaa’s horrible tweets were 15 years ago and maybe they weren’t his views now. I am sure when Nigel F was accused of saying nasty things at school, he couldn’t be excused by the passage of time.
Nigel Nelson was worse than that. He first claimed the Labour government wouldn’t know about the old tweets cos they have been deleted.
The others quickly pointed out the tweets were only deleted this week.
The GBnews video lists a few
… https://x.com/GBNEWS/status/2005056812333125703
Alaa Abd El-Fattah is British cos his mother was born in Britain
She doesn’t seem British at all ..Almost all mentions of her life are in Egypt
“She was born in London in 1956 while her mother was studying at the University of London.
Lived in England: She lived in England for her first two years and again for a year when she was seven, before returning to Cairo”
I do enjoy the apologists for someone expressing such sheer Hate – it’s okay – he’s got a dog – he’s joined the free speech union – he’s not like that Lucy Connolly – all he wants to do is live quietly and plot to kill non Muslims ….
One will plead guilty – give a set of contrived ‘facts of the offence’ do no further time due to time on remand … and disappear … the other two will disappear – I wonder who their lawyer is ? Due for a big payday … TTK judge ….
The tide is turning. The bBC has used the term ‘enemy’ when referring to our ideas. How does it conflate its contempt of the right with its impartial duties. Even now there is clearly a stand off between journalists and management and they cannot understand why ‘the enemy’ find the distortion of speech so distasteful. They are too arrogant and entitled to see the error of their ways. Those attitudes can only have been generated by a constructed culture of partiality; the culture which allows narrative to become facts, and democracies to tend to illiberal regimes. This cabal has done more to destroy democracy in the UK than any other institution. It is rotten to the core by design and it should sell its wares on the open market and allow the customers to make a choice. There should be no tears and no public subsidy.
The few occasions this yuletide that I’ve seen tv ads, I checked the atlas to see if I’d been transported in my sleep to Nairobi or Kingston. Each ad now starts with a non-white face – white children are a rarity – and white females have non-white male partners. White couples have been erased from the Advertising Agencies handbook.
How can it be that there is much in this world that “offends” people, which invariably becomes rectified to accommodate the offended BUT mention being offended (which I am, as are everone I speak to on this subject) I’m immediately classed as racist – for daring to suggest the ratios are not as they should be.
I almost never notice ads and those that escape my filter make it clear that I don’t need the shit they’re selling. As a white male I’m almost entirely ignored as a demographic. Suits me. And my pocket.
Tv adds are quite laughable these days.
I imagine all those advertising account managers and their trendy teams will be giving high fives to each other, over their fabulous inclusive content, whilst their clients profits tumble.
Unless you phone up or email their marketing departments to advise why you are boycotting their products, they are oblivious to the small sacrifice you are making. Unfortunately the naysayers on here will die out within the next few years. We are like Cnut trying to stop the waves.
One of the real benefits of online organisations such as Amazon, is that you make decisions on the products in the comfort of your own PC, and can safely ignore the cr*p ads showing foreigners!
Just imagine what sort of dross would be advertised on the bBC, when it has to work for a living! Large companies must be seriously considering the consequences of paying huge advertising budgets for a far-left (original) state broadcaster with hardly anybody watching the woke rubbish which they’ll ‘hondootedly’* spout out!
I remember moaning to my mum and dad about all the holiday ads which started on Boxing Day, but I was only about twelve or thirteen then, and wanted much more than that…
*John Cole must be turning in his grave at the downfall of bBC reporting .
Atlas – well worth the 57 minutes …the frailty of the British State will worsen in 2026 … how we react to coming invader crime – probably as bad as the Welsh choir boy – will shape the year . Schools and town centres are going to become even more dangerous ….its as bleak as that 57 minutes …
Just to add to the above – more civil disorder is predicted – I wonder how other countries will react when TTK switches off social media to try to stop it spreading ?- particularly when plod has to run away ..
“The respondent, American comedian Desiree Burch, looked a little puzzled before answering ‘dog’.
Another no-brainer was: ‘The term veg, as in fruit and veg, is an abbreviation for what type of food stuff?’
Other contestants were posed questions including ‘beef is a meat from what farm animals?’ and ‘which cardinal point on a compass is represented by the letter S?’ “
A good friend of mine served in the Fleet Air Arm, and used to sing a song, (usually pint in hand), about, ‘Crabs is beef’! One or two club members knew the song as well, but I still can’t find it anywhere…
Scroblene, do you have any more lyrics, I’ve searched in vain to track this down, without success.
I remember my dad had an album called Bawdy Back Room Ballads he would play occasionally which had a few risqué ditties on.
For those interested in a more spiritual overview of where King and Country are going, here’s ex Bishop and Chaplain to the Queen, Gavin Ashenden. He tells uncomfortable truths that no-one else in the Church dares speak.
Morning Harry – I don’t remember any more of the words, sadly!
I think that there was some friendly rivalry between another friend who was in the Navy, and while my FAA pal was doing the singing, the Navy bloke joined in!
Gerry, the FAA man used to have a sticker on the bumper of his car, which combined two ‘phrases’ from the late sixties, (Fly Navy – Groovy Baby), while Simon, the other Navy chap on ships, had left the forces, but knew all the words!
It wasn’t a ‘naughty’ song, because my FIL didn’t mind them singing it in the bar, but another pal who had been in the FAA, from another era, also remembered it from somewhere!
Because of the Naval connotations, the ‘crabs’ must have been something to do with it, but what the ‘beef’ reference was, I never found out!
The Guardian appears flummoxed by a couple of simple general knowledge quiz questions – in a similar manner to some DEI contestant plonked into the big black Mastermind chair – on the new dumbed-down BBC version…
Why has Trump ordered strikes in Nigeria and what has it got to do with the persecution of Christians? (Guardian)
You may say “pass” if you can’t answer, Guardianistas, I’ll have to accept your first answer and if the whistle goes then I’ll say “I’ve started so I’ll finish”
Caerphilly doctor felt ‘pop in her head’ before ‘brain exploded’ (BBC)
It would seem rather cruel to joke about that headline – I’m sure she’s an NHS hero… like all the others. Let’s wish her all the best.
Our BBC suddenly has a big bee in their bonnet over Burma – two top stories on the online news page: War-torn Myanmar voting in widely criticised ‘sham’ election (Kelly Ng and BBC Burmese, Reporting from Mandalay); BBC visits Myanmar polling station as civil war rages on (BBC News South East Asia Correspondent Jonathan Head) – our Jonathan there with the heads-up. I was really concerned about this story Jono, (sarc.)
BBC political reporters going cold turkey?
Perhaps it’s all those upcoming UK elections now cancelled by Starmer that has left our BBC’s keen budding psephologists with withdrawal symptoms? Reform ahead in the UK polls will no doubt be giving them angst.
Quick round up of the papers.
Our BBC likes the Observer for their top spot in their press pile. And why wouldn’t the ‘foreign bang-bang’ obsessed news room pick the Guardian on Sunday’s Christmas card of a frontpage feature photo to stand with pride of place on their mantlepiece.
War and Peace is the somewhat pretentious Russian litarary-allusive headline beneath a modern take on the Good King Wenceslas scene. Some snow covered bomb damaged Ukrainian buildings and in the foreground a woman carrying what we take to be a small Christmas tree. Perhaps it’ll end up as firewood afterall: Russian drones, missiles pound Ukraine ahead of Zelenskiy-Trump meeting… knocked out power and heat in parts of the capital (Reuters)
The popular press go celebrity crazy…
My year of run-ins with Britain’s touchiest celebs by Katie Hinds (the ever-excitable Mail on Sunday) – touchiest celebs..? That’ll be reference to seemingly half the BBC talent payroll…
‘Groping’ and ‘touching’: Fresh claims against Gregg Wallace (BBC)
I was groped by TV host, says Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page… The 48-year-old said: “Halfway through filming, he starts groping me… “I hit his hands and said, ‘What do you think you’re bloody doing? I feel like I’m in Bristol Zoo being mauled by the lions.'” (BBC) – let’s not exaggerate, luv… it was like being in some dodgy petting zoo, perhaps?

And speaking illegal immigration: UK restricts DR Congo visas over migrant return policy… The home secretary announced an overhaul of the UK’s asylum rules in November (BBC) – but we digress as it’s all sounding a bit far-right – even from the Labour government.
No wonder the Observer frets: Keir Starmer needs an epiphany and he needs it now
And the Sunday Express prematurely ejaculates: Wising all our readers a happy New Year!
I’ve written here before of my naive surprise when dealing with ‘blob ‘ types – with the word ‘surely ‘ popping up regularly – as in’ surely before you attach yourself to an Egyptian human rights type you see what he has said in the past ‘?
Surely neither the reds or the dead blues checked him out – so have stuck the evil monster on a pedestal ….
So how do you limit the damage ?( pretend to be a number 10 spad ?
1 public appearance of him and family – number 10 Greet ? So grateful speech – freedom – that sort of stuff – no press
2 try to bury story with something else – cue Farage school story or the ex prince doing the jungle thing or strictly ….
3 tell public the Egyptian terrorist was freed as he is terminal and its humanitarian….standard TTK lies ….
It’s going to get harder and harder for TTK to speak into a camera and be believed by anyone – and ‘I get it ‘ never worked
The usual half a story from the BBC when it comes to Muslims as Starmer lays out the red carpet for an islamist extremist who has expressed very extreme and violent opinions about Jews, white people and others…but the BBC just gives us this very basic line…
‘…historical social media messages emerged showing the campaigner apparently calling for Zionists to be killed.’
‘Alaa Abd el-Fattah called for Zionists ‘including civilians’ to be killed, and said he hated white people
Sir Keir Starmer has welcomed an alleged Islamist extremist, who labelled British people “dogs and monkeys” and called for Zionists to be killed, into the UK.
Mr Abd el-Fattah, an activist with dual British-Egyptian citizenship, previously said that it was heroic to kill Zionists “including civilians”. He urged Londoners to burn Downing Street, told his supporters to kill police and said he hated white people.’
Whilst the BBC will give you chapter and verse on unproven claims about something a 13 year old Farage might have said they seem remarkably reluctant to tell us what a violent Islamist has definitely said….another example…
BBC tells us..
‘In 2014, Abdel Fattah was nominated for a European human rights award, the Sakharov Prize, but this was withdrawn over tweets about Israel he had posted in 2012.’
Oh really…and what might those comments have been?
And bare in mind when the BBC and Labour tell you Starmer had no idea…this was well known in 2014…
‘A group of over 50 European parliament members has nominated a controversial Egyptian activist for the prestigious Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, despite his having advocated the assassination of Israelis and political leaders in Egypt and called for an end to the State of Israel.
“Will no one form an armed organization and randomly assassinate Interior Ministry officers and be rid of them?” “A president isn’t just anyone. It is our right to kill the president if there is no other way to get rid of him.
Debating the Palestinian issue, Abdel Fattah wrote on November 15, 2012, that “there is a critical number of Israelis that we need to kill and then the problem is solved.”’
Yeah…kill the Jews and that’ll be the final solution eh?
Problem solved.
Starmer who denounced protestors in Southport as Far-Right and jailed a woman for a very stupid tweet which she deleted is now welcoming into this country a man who wants to kill Jews, white people and police officers…Starmer once again selling out the country as he panders to his Islamist voters….party before country as usual with Labour.
When – as a minion – I worked for some Very Senior People – i notice the ‘desk ‘ trait – as is ‘ it never came across my desk ‘,- or the question I’d be asked in a ‘crisis ‘ ‘do I know about this ?’
An Email audit trail defeated a lot of attempts to avoid responsibility and thus stay on the greasy pole … but the TTK ‘ never crossed my desk ‘ sums the failed man up completely .
BTW the ‘good ‘ boss was the one who spotted the issue before it became one and dealt with it ..
This one seems to have captured the public attention, encapsulating as it does, TTK, the front bench, Labour, luvviedom and… the entire media cake cretin postal brigade…
Including, a very red faced global broadcaster still struggling to discover a line to take.
Naturally a lot of time on Reform and Farage with a not so sly attempt to make out Reform are the new Nazi Party.
Tory wet Michael Gove is on…seems to be a new BBC favourite as he sells out his old Tory chums for the BBC silver. He ironically complains that the Tories put party before country and squabbled amongst themselves…forgetting to mention he was one of the worst back-stabbing treacherous little erks himself….or indeed that the in-fighting was down to the refusal of Tory wets and EU lackeys to accept the democratic vote and do due diligence to implement the wishes of the voters…get Brexit done.
Never fails to amaze that the BBC can always find the person in the enemy camp who is willing to jump ship and sell out his colleagues when flattered and seduced by the bright lights and new career.
BBC still trying desperately to deny Christians are being targeted in Nigeria.
‘Sunday’ wanted to know if there was any truth in Trump’s, and so many other’s, claims…so they wheeled in man who said Trump was Far-Right and that there was no truth in the claims at all….end of this indepth, far-reaching examination…no other voices allowed.
The BBC’s defence is that ‘most victims[of the,er, Islamists] are Muslims’ and thus Christians are not being targeted and that this is nothing to do with ‘religion’.
Hmmm…not true is it. Just because Muslims[who aren’t Muslim enough in the Islamists eyes] are being killed doesn’t mean Christians aren’t being targeted and cleansed from the land.
The Taliban fought against and killed many Muslims but that didn’t in any way mean this wasn’t a religious fight to impose Islam ‘proper’.
Hitler also killed disabled people, gays, gypsys and political opponents….does that mean he didn’t target Jews in particular?
Why is the BBC so desperate to deny that Christians are being targeted and yet is so willing to highlight when Muslims are targeted…say in Myanmar[where the Muslims are trying to annex their own ‘Muslim’ state] or China?
Why does the BBC hate Christians and white people?

Am I first? A Xmas prayer to ask the Lord to stop Starmer signing us up to the EU energy grid.
A vain hope,I know. Not sure I can take much more of this govt – I’m ready to protest – legally of course.
Mat 2026 be the last year of our BBC.
Rather a death by a thousand cuts. Don’t trust Nandy not to bail that vile organisation out.
I always believe that people should put money where their mouth is .
So let’s set up a BBC defence fund .
We’ll go to LibDim constituencies as chuggers to collect cash and even better sign up the mugs … sorry concerned Ed Davey supporters to pledge bank details to fight the evil Trump ,,spits ,, who wants the BBC to tell the truth . With any luck no BBC presenter or editor would have their wages and pensions jeopardised . Or even admonished for something no other media , established or new internet, would get away with .
Because don’t forget , the BBC may despise us ordinary folk but it is our BBC * and if we want to pay for an organisation that subtly demeans us every day then that’s Democracy even if we haven’t voted for it . I think the BBC has said . It doesn’t matter it’s between a blue Labour or red Labour minister.
* although when the BBC says its Your BBC they seem keen to broadcast all over the world to non paying listeners and viewers .
If we are going to keep the House of Lords, why not make it so that only hereditary Lords can attend and all these mp’s mates and those who bought their lordships are not allowed any vote.
That would clear out several hundred of them.
They can still call themselves lords if it’s so important to them.
Dire audience for the bBC Christmas day ‘entertainment’. Wie schadet.
The employees still have not worked out that there is a significant minority who believe it is unacceptable to distort news. Here in lies the bad news because the employees’ arrogant and entitled attitude has ensured a significant minority of the British population who will resort to civil disobedience rather than pay the marxist tarrif.
Now stir in a Christmas schedule which shows financial distress (assumption but not unreasonable) and you have a perfect storm.
The irony is that the bBC’s pursuit of diversity has extinguished any lateral thought in the organisation – and it is probably fatal.
What an ironic problem for the bBC.
I was trying to remember how I first came to Biased BBC. It was in the early days of Google and I had seen something on the BBC that was so biased I was full of indignation and wanted to find out if others felt that way too. Google brought me here and to like minded people. Now whether BiasedBBC then shaped my thinking or whether I would have come to the same conclusions anyway, I shall never know. Climate Change, the Far Left, the Middle East, Immigration, Covid, my thoughts often (but not always) are similar to others who post here. Thanks to Fedup2, and those who run this site, but also to others who post here. This site allowed us to become free thinkers but not alone in our thinking. Thanks to all.

‘We will vote but not with our hearts’ (BBC) – have the Beeb suddenly cottoned on to the sentiment, or lack thereof, behind Keir Starmer’s fluke of a win at the last general election?
I jest of course. That would be wrong headed of me. This is our BBC on the road to to Mandalay: Inside the election staged by Myanmar’s military rulers (Jonathan Head, South East Asia correspondent, Reporting from Mandalay…) – where the flying fishes play… and only last week our BBC were carping how Donald Trump hadn’t brokered a peace deal. More on that sort of thing later.
My oh my, Myanmar, that was the second top story on the BBC news web site after their top story for us to consider with our cold turkey sandwiches (giblets a treat for our tabby puss): Thailand and Cambodia agree ceasefire after weeks of deadly clashes (Tabby Wilson, BBC)
For a moment there I thought the BBC thought we were all living somewhere East of Suez, back in the old days of empire.
I doubt yer average Beeboid enjoys Kipling… and we rarely have a chance to Kipple…
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin’-fishes play,
An’ the dawn comes up like thunder outer China ‘crost the Bay!
“Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!”
Sometimes these segueways…
UK to offer military ‘gap year’ to boost recruitment… to solve long-term recruitment and retention problems in the armed forces. (Joe Pike, Political correspondent, BBC) – “don’t tell him Pike!” – citizen pikes and pitchforks at dawn… more of that later.
Mr AsI thanks the BBC for their top pick of the UK print titles this morning which delivers the gift-wrapped present of one of those prized close juxtapositions of features that give the lie to a prevailing narrative.
While the regime mouthpiece Times runs with the headline: Royal trips to woo Trump… in the new year as part of a charm offensive… Downing Street hopes to use these as an incentive to get a full UK-US trade deal signed by Trump
So while the headline editorial purports to play nicey-nicey with the US president (despite the repeated convicted felon-like in-house style descriptor ‘Trump’) – also prominently featured frontpage, just below the Times masthead, we note the teaser for: The best cartoons of the year by Peter Brookes – don’t be surprised (and not exactly amused) to observe the example sketch is a riff on that famous artwork by Grant Wood depicting the Midwestern farmer, picthfork in hand standing next to his wife, American Gothic (1930).
In the cartoon image favoured by the Times for frontpage display our farmer is Putin, having pitchforked a tiny Zelensky (I thought we were told we were winning this proxy war) and in the role of the compliant wife is Donald Trump.
Why not Keir Starmer in the guise of Whistler’s Mother, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1871)?
How about Sir Keir and Angey Rayner as Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks (1942) (Shitehawks?) – her the disinterested in him red-head in the suggestive red frock and him the souless annonymous-looking chap adjacent to her at the late night bar counter.
Obviously: Boxing Day shopping falls flat once again… Barclays expects shoppers to spend £3.6bn in the sales, down from the £4.6bn they forecast for the sales in 2024, with fewer people planning to bargain hunt than last year. The amount spent online is also predicted to fall. (Faarea Masud, Business reporter, BBC) – we’re not going with Norman Rockwell’s Freedom from Want (1943) image of an all-American feast. An apron-clad grandmother proudly presents a golden-roasted turkey to a multi-generation family. Perish the thought of that in our modern Yookay.
Let’s exit the great art gallery of Americana and round off with the stark divide in opinion betwixt: NHS twice as reliant on foreign doctors… Britain falls behind other Western nations by failing to hire home-grown medics (Telegraph)
…and on the other hand: NHS at risk as overseas doctors put off by by racism (Guardian)
The multicultural NHS dream boat – scuppered by penny pinching and white flight brain drain, or by intensly pumped activist anti-racism agit prop – you decide?
The supply of homegrown medics has been deliberately restricted for many years as a policy to put invaders in positions of authority and make poor old whitey reliant on them. It’s just one of many policies to re engineer our country without our knowledge or consent. God help future generations.
Asiseeit – I think Christmas shows the madness of the BBC at its ‘ ‘best ‘,- it tries to return to a time when Britain was fairly unified – no internet – morecambe and wise Christmas show – but now faces the fact that few watch the crap it puts out – not even the ‘emirs’ message to Muslims ‘ which only got 4? Million …. Which goes to show what people think of that turd .
Anyway – now the BBC is going on about Boxing Day sails – as if the internet or the crap ‘Black Friday ‘ didn’t happen . Usually there would be footage of a bunch of foreigners charging through the doors of a department shop to bag a cheap VHS recorder – but guess what BBC – it’s 2025 ..6 …
Generally on Christmas – the whole existence of the BBC has been to undermine the bits which make up Christmas – destroying Christianity- top of the list – destroying normal family life – another easy one – producing nut job kids with ‘issues ‘ job done ….
But then the BBC will revert to the all powerful when it puts out ‘the night manager ‘ with a public schoolboy actor in constant peril for 6 episodes with a stereotype ‘plain ‘ northern accented helper … massive triumph ….
‘I think Christmas shows the madness of the BBC at its ‘best ‘
“True dat” (as the kids say) : BBC suffers its worst Christmas ratings… huge slump in viewer numbers (Telegraph)
Still the best reading…
Sorry about the ‘voice’ in the beginning…
We have been watching re runs of Inspector Lewis on ITVX in the order of their original transmission from 2005 to 2015. There were nearly 40 episodes over those 10 years. It was fascinating to watch the gradual appearance of more and more black and brown characters as the series continued and also as such characters assumed ever more prominent and powerful roles in the stories.
I know this true of the entire output of British TV over those years as the country was ‘re engineered ‘ by the liberal elite into the shit hole it has become today.
This isn’t the case in every country though. You can still watch European programmes that have a wholly or predominately European cast of characters. Walter Presents on Channel Four being the best hunting ground for such programmes .
I know it’s escapism to want to see Europe as it was in the days before the invasion and take over began but I am a sucker for such nostalgia. I don’t like having my nose rubbed in the reality of the stinking mess that we have been forced to become.
Double – yes I noticed that too – as a hard core Morse ‘fan ‘ i turned my nose up at Lewis ( particularly a woman superintendent who couldn’t act ) but was surprised at how good endeavour was …. The first 3? Series of morse were special for the time but it went down hill due to staff changes i think ….
I liked Endeavour at the start, but didn’t it go woke just like the others ? (Grantchester, Father Brown etc).
I went from 3 or 4 programs I liked down to zero almost overnight.
I also really liked Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse in the first low-budget ‘gone fishing’ series. Then it paused and all of a sudden there were several new series. So I watched the first one:
I noticed it didn’t seem quite as easy going and natural as the others. Then we had Bob on the bank talking to Paul as he was fishing. We could see Paul as Bob talked. Then the camera switched for Paul’s reply – and it was from over his shoulder looking at Bob. Instantly showing me that a) it was being filmed in separate ‘takes’ and thus b) it was now entirely scripted.
Good old BBC. They ruin everything they meddle with.
A conditioning process.
Morning Fed, I hope you seeing off the last of that nasty flu!
I’m revisiting Morse at the moment – we always liked John Thaw, and Neville from Auf Wiedersehn Pet, but I dare say that they couldn’t do much these days, because Oxford have banned cars, shops, citizens etc., and just woked the old place to death!
Frost is worth a revisit; at least it seems to have the right mix of actors and actresses (are you allowed to be an actress these days?)…
Fed, I hope you have recovered from your dose of ‘man ‘flu’. Those tubes that you insist on travelling in, are dreadful germ spreaders.
Up2/ Scroblene
Sickness report – I got a bug in my late teens which a quack told me would thereafter knock my resistance if hit with colds and flu . I got this one coming back to the UK . It’s quite an event . Im coming out of it now but this is day 7 …. Sleep pattern is screwed – 12 hours sleep a day …. Im counting down the days until I get out of the country again and get some sunlight .
On the ‘detective ‘ debate – JohnC says that endeavour went woke and on reflection i think he’s right ….
On the genre generally ( ugh ) i think it’s a pity that the ‘big star ‘ is invariably going to be the ‘baddy’ so that there can be a big scene at the end ….
I think the BBC is going to give that ‘police corruption ‘ show another whipping in 2026 – I couldn’t stand it because of the poor acting sounding as though they were reading from cards – but people seemed to like it
This time of year i try to plot what’s coming next year. I don’t think I will do it for 2026 ….
Fed, get well soon! Travelling by airline, you will probably catch more germs. Where do you go for your dose of sunshine, is it Malta in the Med.?
DT I’ve watched Walter Presents for years as, like you say, no woke or diversity. The European film makers care little for our dusky and very dusky friends. Storylines sre excellent too and I prefer sub-title reading anyway
As another indicator of just how far out of touch the BBC are from the real world in their bizarre Londonistan bubble, here are their ‘defining moments of 2025’:
1. Beyoncé’s Grammy reaction – Never heard of it
2. Sydney Sweeney’s denim drama – Complete with the new Lefty activists phrase ‘a dog whistle’ – this time for for ‘white supremacy’
3. Lily Allen’s revenge – A vile, unpleasant woman
4. Adolescence: A one-shot wonder – Totally racist misrepresentation of the truth
5. Dubai chocolate floods the shelves – Never heard of it
6. The endlessly parodied Jet2 advert -Never saw it
7. EsDeeKid’s video with Timothée Chalamet -Never heard of any of them
8. Labubu mania prompts consumer chaos – Never heard of it
9. David Tennant’s bonkers Bafta song -Can’t stand this BBC favourite. He is clearly friends with some people who write the cheques
10. Rachel Zegler’s film flop (and theatre triumph) – Another vile woman.
11. Streaming hits (and misses). – Yawn.
12. Alan Carr turning into a cold-blooded killer – Yawn. Carr is another BBC favourite.
13. Adrien Brody’s never-ending Oscars speech – Never saw it.
14. The celeb-packed Blue Origin space flight – The biggest sexist farce of the decade.
And that’s it. It seems the BBC and people like me live in entirely different worlds now. Why should we have to fund them ?.
JohnC – X has sent me to never ending mini videos – is it ‘tic tok ‘ with stuff my ‘Steve Inman ‘ which often cheers me up … you’d have to watch to understand why …
You mean this guy ?.
‘Corn fed Fred’
Thanks for that : had me laughing out loud.
Not many things do that these days.
JohnC – yes – that’s the one – im addicted now to a daily dose of laugh out loud / ouch … the shootings of armed robbers is a guilty ..er .. something …
What makes even funnier for me is that you know the lefty activist hypocrites are enraged at the man and desperately want to call him all their worst names but they can’t : the ‘victims’ absolutely deserved it.
You used to be able to guess the year of Midsomer Murders by the car registrations or the technology of the computers the police used. Now it’s the number of ethnics they can squeeze into an episode. Fully one quarter in last night’s ITV3 offering, The Wolf of Little Worthy.
———————–
Strictly Come Dancing was the sole BBC programme to witness a surge in viewership on Christmas Day 2025, compared to the previous year.
The broadcaster suffered a significant setback this year as none of its shows managed to outperform The King’s Speech.
In contrast, last year’s Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special more than doubled the viewership of the speech. Last year, both Gavin and Stacey, and Wallace and Gromit, attracted substantial audiences to the channel, with 12.3 million and 9.4 million views respectively.
Meanwhile, the Strictly Christmas Special saw an increase in viewership, pulling in 4.35 million views, up from 4.05 million in 2024.
However, it marked the final show for Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, making it a significant event for viewers.
The King’s Speech maintained its viewership from last year, drawing in 6 million viewers.
Several shows, including Call The Midwife, EastEnders, and The Weakest Link, failed to attract viewers.
Call The Midwife saw a drop in viewership, attracting 3.4 million viewers this year, down from 4.4 million last year, reports the Express.
EastEnders experienced a dramatic decline, with the first episode drawing in 2.8 million viewers and the second episode 2.2 million, compared to the previous year’s figures of 4 million for the first episode and 4.4 million for the second – a staggering difference
Does East Enders have subtitles now ?
I didn’t realise we had 6 million Muslims in this country. Although it would explain a lot.
Yes, I used to love Midsomer Murders…all those homicidal maniacs loitering under the thatched roofs. The stories were quite fantastic and never supposed to be realistic, but that was all part of their charm…
However, the latest productions are just irritatingly woke. I caught 10 minutes of an episode before Christmas. One tiny rural village had more minorities than majorities.
It was arse groaningly bad…
The episode about drag queens did it for me. Never again.
On the 2026 thing – I reckon the papers will be reporting the exodus of good people from the UK . Mrs cabbage – sorry broccoli has changed her residence from UK to US – very wise – and we will witness more to follow . Comrade Dyson was moaning about inheritance tax destroying his company as a ‘family ‘ one – coupled with mad energy and labour costs UK should be empty by 2027 with full replacement …
Looking at the posts about how the dramas (and everything else) are being woked up to the eyeballs and where you know who the good and bad guys are depending on their ethnicity I’m happy about one of the effects of ageing.
I have dvd sets of Minder, Auf wiedersehen pet, The Avengers (Emma Peel complete set) Yes (Prime) Minister and lots of similar series which, due to memory, I can re-watch every few years and still enjoy them.
As well as that I can get series such as Only fools and horses and other older stuff (on catch up or other channels) when tv was worth watching. I’m currently in the middle of watching The Bill which is still ok (but showing signs of going woke)
Another advantage of watching these older dramas is that they are recorded much better than modern stuff. I can understand and hear clearly all the dialogue and there’s not much of the ‘clever’ picture effects like blurring or flashing pictures which the youngsters seem to cram into their camera work thinking they are being innovative or making the presentation better when it’s distracting, annoying and often unwatchable.
Modern dialogue on dramas is very often hard to make out with all the mumbling and whispering. If you turn the volume up to hear it there’s often a very loud bit comes straight afterwards which means grabbing the remote to mute the volume.
As the largest demographic of the tv viewers are older (I guess) you would think they might make dramas watchable by having clear sound and vision but they are after the youth who only see to watch stuff on the net.
They are trying to please the minority and ignoring the majority. Where else have I came across that?
Also, the ageing memory means I can re read lots of books.
I have the complete Flashman novels (brilliant and the complete opposite of woke) plus the Tom Sharpe books, the South African ones are the best two.
Konstabel Els seems to have been the role model for modern Chief Constables.
Something suitably seasonal – this was in the BBC Londonistan local news – another Cardiff choir boy ….
“A teenager who joked about attacking his classmates with homemade guns has been convicted of possession of a firearm and producing explosives.
Sakhile Ntsele, from Wandsworth in south-west London, spent years making a collection of weapons in his bedroom, his trial heard.
Police discovered the armoury after the now 18-year-old attacked a family member with a sword he had made from a metal bar in October 2024. Seven improvised explosive devices and five firearms with ammunition were found in his room.”
Sentencing is in February 2026 – im guessing a TTK Judge will give the monster a suspended sentence…
I remember reading a book by George MacDonald Fraser (author of the Flashman books). In this book he decried what was happening to the UK (going woke, liebour etc). It may have been called the Lights on at Signpost.
Atlas.
Thanks for that, I’ve just ordered it from eBay.
The two pillars of ‘political correctness’ are,
a) willful ignorance, and
b) a steadfast refusal to face the truth.
George MacDonald Fraser
I’ve not read this, but like the sound of it and I really enjoyed the Flashman stories.
Apparently, it got “mixed reviews” in (of all places) The Guardian…well, there’s a surprise…
The reviewer found his film anecdotes interesting, but didn’t like his gloomy political prognosis. George wasn’t a fan of New Labour, couldn’t abide Tony Blair and thought the country was going to hell in a handcart.
Blimey, sounds right up my street…
I reckon I’m going to read all my Neville Shute novels again. He was certainly one of the best writers of his time with frequent pokes at the ‘establishment’. government stupidity and interference, the crassness of the civil service and early versions of what we call woke these days!
I got the whole lot on Ebay for just a few quid, and some evenings, I just couldn’t put the book down – then spent the night flying, designing planes, airships etc., in a plethora of dreams and nightmares!
Certainly the best books I’ve ever read!
I can see it doesn’t add up – I mean, really doesn’t add up – unfailingly there’s a V8 Audi with blacked out windows within 100m and I rarely (feels like never) see anyone actually getting a haircut.
There are currently 165 BBC-funded Local Democracy Reporters (LDRs) embedded in UK regional and local news organisations, including newspapers, radio stations, online outlets, and other media.

Trump has done something heroic in Nigeria, taking out vipers’ nests of islamic terrorists who’ve been merrily massacring, slaughtering, butchering, kidnapping, raping and torturing Christians for decades, ignored by the pusillanimous cowards at the biased BBC.
So how does the obscene BBC report it? This morning, I saw them dig up and interview some black ‘human rights’ lawyer (probably muslim) who explained (lied) that it wasn’t really Muslims against Christians, and that Trump’s rhetoric was exacerbating the situation on the ground. (Exactly how you can make getting tortured, raped and murdered worse, he didn’t explain.)
The BBC interviewer, of course, didn’t challenge or question any of this ‘expert’s’ statements.
(For those who’ve been watching the BBC too long to understand what’s going on in the world, “Human rights lawyer” = biased, leftist, anti-western, anti-Christian, anti-white, islamist commie activist in 99% of cases.)
Note, the creepy BBC presenter says that viewers have been on a swift learning curve about the situation in Nigeria. Only because of the msm complicity of silence. Those of us who care have known about the massacres for YEARS.
PS. The above ‘human rights lawyer’ has in his bio : working at the intersection of justice, governance, and security, bla bla.
Governance should be a red flag : it features in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) which is a sinister acronym meaning leftists can impose their propaganda and ‘values’ on companies and other organisations.
The BBC, of course, love all that liberal globalist leftist socialist cr*p.
“filling his boots” you say?
In Poundbury? – there is no record or evidence of migrants, asylum seekers, or refugees being housed in Poundbury, Dorset, or in any other properties owned by the British Royal Family, such as those managed by the Duchy of Cornwall or the Crown Estate.

Like most of us here I despise the BBC, its bias and costly licence fee. So I turn to social media – Twitter X and Facebook. With the former I need verification, £98 pa minimum, and the latter has news items with information in the first comment which requires some kind of commitment. Not wishing to praise the BBC but we do need alternatives to the Licence which are not so expensive.

I read that TTK has gaffed badly by enthusiastically welcoming an Egyptian activist to the UK after release from prison. Only for it to become clear that this wholesome gent has previously called for the extinction of all zionists amongst other depraved wishes.

Nigel Nelson pointed out that Alaa’s horrible tweets were 15 years ago and maybe they weren’t his views now. I am sure when Nigel F was accused of saying nasty things at school, he couldn’t be excused by the passage of time.

The others quickly pointed out the tweets were only deleted this week.

‘Becoming’?
Be interesting how the market rate remuneration system works out.
6% of the population watched the bBC this Christmas!
Who are these morons?
All the BBC employees ?
The tide is turning. The bBC has used the term ‘enemy’ when referring to our ideas. How does it conflate its contempt of the right with its impartial duties. Even now there is clearly a stand off between journalists and management and they cannot understand why ‘the enemy’ find the distortion of speech so distasteful. They are too arrogant and entitled to see the error of their ways. Those attitudes can only have been generated by a constructed culture of partiality; the culture which allows narrative to become facts, and democracies to tend to illiberal regimes. This cabal has done more to destroy democracy in the UK than any other institution. It is rotten to the core by design and it should sell its wares on the open market and allow the customers to make a choice. There should be no tears and no public subsidy.
The few occasions this yuletide that I’ve seen tv ads, I checked the atlas to see if I’d been transported in my sleep to Nairobi or Kingston. Each ad now starts with a non-white face – white children are a rarity – and white females have non-white male partners. White couples have been erased from the Advertising Agencies handbook.
How can it be that there is much in this world that “offends” people, which invariably becomes rectified to accommodate the offended BUT mention being offended (which I am, as are everone I speak to on this subject) I’m immediately classed as racist – for daring to suggest the ratios are not as they should be.
I almost never notice ads and those that escape my filter make it clear that I don’t need the shit they’re selling. As a white male I’m almost entirely ignored as a demographic. Suits me. And my pocket.
Tv adds are quite laughable these days.
I imagine all those advertising account managers and their trendy teams will be giving high fives to each other, over their fabulous inclusive content, whilst their clients profits tumble.
Unless you phone up or email their marketing departments to advise why you are boycotting their products, they are oblivious to the small sacrifice you are making. Unfortunately the naysayers on here will die out within the next few years. We are like Cnut trying to stop the waves.
One of the real benefits of online organisations such as Amazon, is that you make decisions on the products in the comfort of your own PC, and can safely ignore the cr*p ads showing foreigners!
Just imagine what sort of dross would be advertised on the bBC, when it has to work for a living! Large companies must be seriously considering the consequences of paying huge advertising budgets for a far-left (original) state broadcaster with hardly anybody watching the woke rubbish which they’ll ‘hondootedly’* spout out!
I remember moaning to my mum and dad about all the holiday ads which started on Boxing Day, but I was only about twelve or thirteen then, and wanted much more than that…
*John Cole must be turning in his grave at the downfall of bBC reporting .
I love jet2 adverts – but then im a shareholder ( 77 brigade to file ) …
You’re allowed Fed, just this once, but don’t expect treats like this all the time…
I also never realised that men with darker skin were so fascinated by cleaning products before….
Liam Halligan and Matt Goodwin not pulling any punches on the UK economy for 2025 and onwards:
It is 57 minutes long, but they make some good points.
Atlas – well worth the 57 minutes …the frailty of the British State will worsen in 2026 … how we react to coming invader crime – probably as bad as the Welsh choir boy – will shape the year . Schools and town centres are going to become even more dangerous ….its as bleak as that 57 minutes …
Just to add to the above – more civil disorder is predicted – I wonder how other countries will react when TTK switches off social media to try to stop it spreading ?- particularly when plod has to run away ..
Spot on. Well worth a listen.
Even the globalist The Daily Mail is sticking the boot in the BBC.

It wasn’t a ‘naughty’ song, because my FIL didn’t mind them singing it in the bar, but another pal who had been in the FAA, from another era, also remembered it from somewhere!
Because of the Naval connotations, the ‘crabs’ must have been something to do with it, but what the ‘beef’ reference was, I never found out!

I’ve written here before of my naive surprise when dealing with ‘blob ‘ types – with the word ‘surely ‘ popping up regularly – as in’ surely before you attach yourself to an Egyptian human rights type you see what he has said in the past ‘?
Surely neither the reds or the dead blues checked him out – so have stuck the evil monster on a pedestal ….
So how do you limit the damage ?( pretend to be a number 10 spad ?
1 public appearance of him and family – number 10 Greet ? So grateful speech – freedom – that sort of stuff – no press
2 try to bury story with something else – cue Farage school story or the ex prince doing the jungle thing or strictly ….
3 tell public the Egyptian terrorist was freed as he is terminal and its humanitarian….standard TTK lies ….
It’s going to get harder and harder for TTK to speak into a camera and be believed by anyone – and ‘I get it ‘ never worked
The usual half a story from the BBC when it comes to Muslims as Starmer lays out the red carpet for an islamist extremist who has expressed very extreme and violent opinions about Jews, white people and others…but the BBC just gives us this very basic line…
‘…historical social media messages emerged showing the campaigner apparently calling for Zionists to be killed.’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5mr0gdnmeo
Missing out so much more…
‘Alaa Abd el-Fattah called for Zionists ‘including civilians’ to be killed, and said he hated white people
Sir Keir Starmer has welcomed an alleged Islamist extremist, who labelled British people “dogs and monkeys” and called for Zionists to be killed, into the UK.
Mr Abd el-Fattah, an activist with dual British-Egyptian citizenship, previously said that it was heroic to kill Zionists “including civilians”. He urged Londoners to burn Downing Street, told his supporters to kill police and said he hated white people.’
Whilst the BBC will give you chapter and verse on unproven claims about something a 13 year old Farage might have said they seem remarkably reluctant to tell us what a violent Islamist has definitely said….another example…
BBC tells us..
‘In 2014, Abdel Fattah was nominated for a European human rights award, the Sakharov Prize, but this was withdrawn over tweets about Israel he had posted in 2012.’
Oh really…and what might those comments have been?
And bare in mind when the BBC and Labour tell you Starmer had no idea…this was well known in 2014…
‘A group of over 50 European parliament members has nominated a controversial Egyptian activist for the prestigious Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, despite his having advocated the assassination of Israelis and political leaders in Egypt and called for an end to the State of Israel.
“Will no one form an armed organization and randomly assassinate Interior Ministry officers and be rid of them?” “A president isn’t just anyone. It is our right to kill the president if there is no other way to get rid of him.
Debating the Palestinian issue, Abdel Fattah wrote on November 15, 2012, that “there is a critical number of Israelis that we need to kill and then the problem is solved.”’
Yeah…kill the Jews and that’ll be the final solution eh?
Problem solved.
Starmer who denounced protestors in Southport as Far-Right and jailed a woman for a very stupid tweet which she deleted is now welcoming into this country a man who wants to kill Jews, white people and police officers…Starmer once again selling out the country as he panders to his Islamist voters….party before country as usual with Labour.
It appears TTK knows nothing about anything, this comes across clearly in everything he says and does.
If not the sad bugger’s desk. Apparently.
Only 4 more years.
When – as a minion – I worked for some Very Senior People – i notice the ‘desk ‘ trait – as is ‘ it never came across my desk ‘,- or the question I’d be asked in a ‘crisis ‘ ‘do I know about this ?’
An Email audit trail defeated a lot of attempts to avoid responsibility and thus stay on the greasy pole … but the TTK ‘ never crossed my desk ‘ sums the failed man up completely .
BTW the ‘good ‘ boss was the one who spotted the issue before it became one and dealt with it ..
The bbc news review avoided the state sponsored Islamic terrorist in favour of Gordon’s daughter getting married to an ex swimmer ..
This one seems to have captured the public attention, encapsulating as it does, TTK, the front bench, Labour, luvviedom and… the entire media cake cretin postal brigade…
Including, a very red faced global broadcaster still struggling to discover a line to take.

Tory wet Michael Gove is on…seems to be a new BBC favourite as he sells out his old Tory chums for the BBC silver. He ironically complains that the Tories put party before country and squabbled amongst themselves…forgetting to mention he was one of the worst back-stabbing treacherous little erks himself….or indeed that the in-fighting was down to the refusal of Tory wets and EU lackeys to accept the democratic vote and do due diligence to implement the wishes of the voters…get Brexit done.
Never fails to amaze that the BBC can always find the person in the enemy camp who is willing to jump ship and sell out his colleagues when flattered and seduced by the bright lights and new career.
BBC still trying desperately to deny Christians are being targeted in Nigeria.
‘Sunday’ wanted to know if there was any truth in Trump’s, and so many other’s, claims…so they wheeled in man who said Trump was Far-Right and that there was no truth in the claims at all….end of this indepth, far-reaching examination…no other voices allowed.
The BBC’s defence is that ‘most victims[of the,er, Islamists] are Muslims’ and thus Christians are not being targeted and that this is nothing to do with ‘religion’.
Hmmm…not true is it. Just because Muslims[who aren’t Muslim enough in the Islamists eyes] are being killed doesn’t mean Christians aren’t being targeted and cleansed from the land.
The Taliban fought against and killed many Muslims but that didn’t in any way mean this wasn’t a religious fight to impose Islam ‘proper’.
Hitler also killed disabled people, gays, gypsys and political opponents….does that mean he didn’t target Jews in particular?
Why is the BBC so desperate to deny that Christians are being targeted and yet is so willing to highlight when Muslims are targeted…say in Myanmar[where the Muslims are trying to annex their own ‘Muslim’ state] or China?
Why does the BBC hate Christians and white people?
“Why does the BBC hate Christians and white people?” Because they can. They’d never get away with this sort of shit against Islam. And they know it.
Because they’re cowards.
and… they think that fawning over Islam somehow inoculates them + is a useful virtue signaling device.
The circle jerk measurements are also off any sane scale.
Because they’re infected with the virus of wokeism, that’s neo-Marxist, anti-West, anti-White, anti-Christian.
I noticed that the spectacular BLM (across all places that organisation operated) peculation hasn’t been addressed either….
In hindsight ….
