    Ok I will go first. The BBC are beyond the pale and beyond the pail! The BBC deserve the worst of a bucket of xxxx tipped over them. The BBC have had weeks to announce a new D-G but one is not in sight yet. The BBC pursue citizens who wish not to watch Strictly or Traitors to buy a TV Licence. TV Licencing is the most inefficient way to pursue people to buy a TV Licence. I do not want one. I do not want to watch TV! My TV is an old cathode ray tube set, in the loft, and I would have to spend £s on a digi box or something to watch TV and I’m an OAP who is too busy and too poor to pay all that cash for something that will sit in the corner of the lounge. Defund the BBC!

    I have waited weeks for a visit from TVLicencing.

        Successfully deployed by a chum of mine when Southern Electric made a meter reader appointment (for the 3rd or 4th time, after refusing to accept multiple meter photographs and tried to claim usage 20x that recorded)

        It worked – albeit after threats and robust interaction with “Customer Services”. He claimed for a day wasted and administration costs – just over £1000 – another did the same with BT.

        IIRC I’ve had about 3 letters will-you-be-in.jpg

        I might follow the template below after the next letter

        How to actually trigger FOI obligations

        If you want a formal, time-bound response from them under FOI:Make a separate, explicit FOI request to the BBC (e.g., via foi@bbc.co.uk or their online form at bbc.co.uk/foi).

        Ask something like: “Please provide information on visits made to [your postcode/address category] following customer invitations in [time period].”

        They must then respond within 20 working days (extendable in some cases), subject to exemptions (e.g., for law enforcement reasons under s.31).

        Plenty of people have done this successfully — BBC FOI logs include stats on visits, warrants, prosecutions, etc.

        If everybody getting a letter did it – it’d surely annoy in the best possible way?

    Smarmer U turn on ID cards, they will now be ‘voluntary’.

    However, don’t be fooled, the Government will ensure it will be impossible to live a normal life without the ‘voluntary’ ID card. Banks, credit reference agencies and many other essential pillars of modern life will not process you without ID.

      What I don’t understand is why the decision on ID cards has been u-turned and why now? There is enough going on in the world at the moment and I thought it might be a popular move. Or is it like the decision on IHT for farmers announced a couple of days before Xmas, no one will notice the u-turn so no one notices that Starmer is weak.
      There have been so many u-turns (on things that should never have been proposed in the first place), that no business can plan for more than a week or two. I would also like to see the fine print on these changes.

      I saw a YouTube interview with someone (sorry I forget who), who suggested that the red herring was put out that Blair’s son had an interest in ID cards. What this person was saying that it is Blair’s friend Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle that was due to make the killing with ID cards. Was Starmer’s decision agreed with Blair first or are there some very cross people around?

      Today – fastest train:
      London Euston to Birmingham

      When HS2 opens, trains will run between Old Oak Common station in west London (30 MINTUES OUTSIDE LONDON! HA AH AHHA HA ) and Birmingham. Next, we’ll complete the final section to London Euston.

    I noticed he debate on how left wing influence in education has become on GBNews.
    My son is a senior teacher and make no mistake the situation with Marxist activism by Unions and teachers is far worse than anyone outside of the profession realises. The NEU and Unison are stridently Communist/Anarchist and have taken over schools with weak and/or compliant Headteachers. There is no regard for the tax monies thrown at education, as far as most teachers are concerned, their agenda and beliefs are more important than the teaching that they are paid to do.

    Repost as mine ended up on the old thread
    We got MPs makng great fuss over AI “sexualised images”
    Yet in the real world Some women sexualise themselves by provocative clothing, then complain they get attention from men.
    On the 8pm GBnews headlines there was a video of Yvette Cooper giving Parliament a statement about Iran.
    Prominent in the shot were the two female Labour MPs right behind her .
    The one on the left you could see right up her skirt to the top of the outside of her thigh, as it was a skirt shorter than her knees.
    The one on the right also wore a short skirt which ended 4 inches above her hooker boots which come 2 inches past the top of her knees.
    .. but I bet they complain about Grok

    Today’s attitudes encapsulated in data edition

    A couple of the BBC’s star talking heads, Bowen of Arabia and the geeky Chris Mason, taken in combo this morning, provide one of those awkward clashing juxtapositions of headlines of which your Mr AsI is somewhat of a connoisseur and collector.

    Chris Mason: The climbdowns stack up for Starmer (Chris Mason, Political editor, BBC)
    Bowen: Authoritarian regimes die gradually then suddenly, but Iran is not there yet (Jeremy Bowen, International editor, BBC)

    Bowen of Arabia, you ask? How come this choice of satirical sobriquet at this particular moment for this biased BBC metaphorical political kafir-wearing reporter?

    Lawrence of Arabia portraits get warning… trigger warning for cultural appropriation of Arab clothing. The National Portrait Gallery has flagged artworks… as “sensitive”… they may clash with “today’s attitudes”. This is despite the fact that Lawrence, who fought alongside the Arabs, was presented the robes as a gift by… Emir Faisal (Telegraph)

    There’s a few issues involved here. Firstly, never be fooled by anyone insisting how there’s no such thing as a culture war – it may be undeclared, but it’s continuous, relentless and it’s waged against you Englishman.

    Secondly, there’s the brass-necked hypocrisy of our weekday rainbow lanyard-wearing public sector managerial classes – throwing shade on TE Lawrence (who was probably gay) – yet merrily coming out as weekend kafir-wearing Gaza protesters. Of course there’s precious little official jeopardy involved in playing at that particular sort of protest in the Yookay, whereas: Erfan Soltani, 26, is set for execution by Iran’s regime today (Times)

    Additionally, as a keen exponent of the formal subordinating conjunction ‘whereas’, your Mr AsI can’t pass on from this National Portrait Gallery story without remarking on a fine example of the unabashed use of the journalistic ‘despite’: This is despite the fact that Lawrence… (Telegraph)

    Moving on…

    On a morning when climb-downs are the order of the day: Doubts cast on extent of microplastics in humans… by scientists who say the discoveries are probably the result of contamination and false positives… Studies claiming to have revealed micro and nanoplastics in the brain, testes, plascentas, arteries, and elsewhere were reported by media across the world, including the Guardian (Our Guardian in unusually frank mea culpa mode) – well that frankly superfluous flick through the medical dictionary has made my teeth itch – at this time of the morning. I guess we still need to fret about baby Pacific turtles getting their necks caught in supermarket plastic beer can four-pack rings?

    There’s a problem only likely to worsen – as our pubs become extinct: The Inn Reeper… Pain at pumps… Reeves’s Budget is hammering pubs… Reeves ‘knew 5,000 pubs hit’ (The Sun); Treasury ‘knew business rates would double for thousands of pubs’ (Times)

    How’s that Global Warming workin’ out fo’ yer?

    Global temperatures dipped in 2025 but more heat records on way, scientists warn (The reputedly prescient, aptronymically monkered, Mark Poynting, Climate researcher, BBC)

    But… but… I thought I was told: ‘This is our future,’ climate adviser warns as 2025 to break heat records (Mark Poynting, Climate researcher, BBC, 23 December 2025)

    The explanation is – despite, globalisation – the latter alarmist shout applies to the Yookay, whereas, the former prevarication is world-wide.

    Yookay Warming

    Professor Rachel Kyte told the BBC… “”This is our future, encapsulated in data… Now the question is ‘how are we going to prepare ourselves and build our resilience to this?'” (BBC)

    Build our resilience? We can’t even build a railway these days.

    Government sets out plans for north of England rail investment… more than a decade after such a project was first proposed…An initial £1.1bn has been earmarked for design and preparation. Construction is not expected to start until after 2030. (BBC)

    Annoucement from the Fat Controller

    And to run this review into the buffers this morning we’ll terminate here with the in-the-Thomas-the-Tank-Engine for Labour Daily Mirror: The Rail Deal… Northern Powerhouse Pledge… PM says millions will benefit as he promises to end train misery

    Train in Vain was a song by the English punk rock band The Clash. It was released as the third and final single from their third studio album, London Calling

    US economy is booming with growth expecting to 4 or5 % this year. Meanwhile the Uk and EU are hoping to manage 1% at best. Trump’s tariffs are proving beneficial for the US despite all the economic professors and commentators prophesies of doom when he announced them.
    The US mid term elections take place in November . Usually they present the opposition party a chance to win back control of part of the US government and so limit the freedom of power of the executive ie the Presidency.
    Most often it’s the economy that the opposition weaponise to win such elections but that won’t work this time. So what will the Democrats do? Try to create more trouble like that in Minneapolis, more deaths , more riots and blame Trump.
    I hope that American voters and decide that it’s the Democrats that are at fault and vote Republican and so strengthen the President rather than weaken him.
    President Trump is firm in his belief that he will win his case against the BBC no matter how much they twist and turn. This case really does have the potential to bankrupt the BBC, if a public body can ever be bankrupted. They just run out of other people’s money.
    At the very least if Trump wins the BBC have to go cap in hand to the Labour government and get a sub from the tax payer which surely must mean that more people refuse to pay the Licence Fee. Keep kicking ‘em where it hurts Mr President you are our hero.

    Comrade Robinson and Heidi Alexander

    Poor Heidi – the outgoing lack of transport secretary – a nice chat – no interruptions as poor Heidi droned on … she sounded tired – didn’t want to be there – trying to justify the latest u turn – the digital I D one . More later ….

    Anyway – Heidi told us even more Money 1.1 billion – so add a nought – make it ten billion to do trains up north … great – super – she didn’t mention where the money comes from …. Presumably you – me ….

    Luckily for us – time is starting to run out for TTK – a couple of years of ‘power ‘ then a long run up to the general election- unless he bans elections of course …

    Poor Heidi had to explain that the mandatory ID card isn’t needed any more … why ? If it’s that important surely stick to the plan ?

    Previously comrade blunket – who sounded like he has shares in ID card companies was a wounded bear – unable – in his commie arrogance – to accept people dont want an effing ID card …..

    Dont get me wrong – I already have digital ID – overseas health card – driving licence – passport – gov uk identification – NI number – NHS number … so another card ? I care less ….

    And then the Asian presenter talked to Orla about Iran . Suddenly the BBC has got a bit interested in Iran – but only to slag off President Trump – he can’t win either way – if he does nothing they’ll blame him – if he manages to kill the Islamic government ( please ) he is power mad – very BBC …

    BBC Staff in Denial as Audiences Flee in Droves to YouTube
    The BBC is the last soldier still trying to fight a war that everyone else knows has already ended. After YouTube beat the BBC in Barb’s monthly audience figures for the first time, panicked ‘BBC insiders’ insist to the Times this morning that the broadcaster “continues to comfortably dominate” YouTube in more long-form content. Everything is fine, nothing to see here…

    A bit of good news.
    In the DT this morning there is a report that according to BARB , the official provider of TV viewing figures , You Tube has more viewers than the entire BBC over the last quarter.
    Naturally the BBC disputes the figures , it’s the first time ever that they haven’t topped the charts, but even on their own adjusted figures it’s still a close run thing.
    This isn’t so much a straw in the wind but a very large plank. Technology is about to wipe out the BBC. Their downfall is only five or ten years away , it will be even closer if President Trump takes them for 10 billion.

    “Rupert Lowe MP
    I’m pleased to report a big local win.

    I was informed by multiple whistleblowers that our local NHS hospital, the James Paget, had changed course to serve halal only meat in its catering facilities.

    Shockingly, no proper meat was available.

    Of course, I immediately took this up with hospital leadership. I have chased and chased and chased.

    Staggeringly I’ve just been informed that the meat supplier ‘unknown’ to the staff had ‘reduced their supply route to only procure Halal meat’.

    This is scandalous. It happened without the hospital knowing – that is abhorrent.

    I am pleased to report that this has now been rectified, and proper meat is now back on the menu and fully available to staff/patients.

    An important win.

    More news to come soon on our wider campaign against non-stun slaughter…”

    ………

    “Here’s the beautiful thing … these are British products, selling Islamic Products, selling Halal Products (Halal – throat cut whilst conscious, slaughtered by Muslim only employee, incantation to animal from a Koran by Muslim only). That is niche and general, but it’s gone main stream. {Sadiq Khan – youtube Chicken Cottage Award Ceremony 2012}”

    Not mentioned by our BBC –

    1. 25% of the population of Israel are Muslim. They have Mosques, their own MPs, free healthcare and education. Some are members of the IDF. They do not wish to live in a Muslim country.

    2. Almost half of Israeli Jews are Arab-Jews. They originated from Middle East countries such as Yemen and fled to Israel because of oppression i.e. displaced.

    3. Palestinian children at school have for many years been taught how to murder Jews.

    Banned for posting … “Keir Starmer wants to crack down on X under the pretense of “women’s safety”, whilst he’s the one allowing the ongoing rape and killing of British girls by migrant rape gangs. Evil, despicable man.”

    …………. Meanwhile in the UK … HA HA AH A HAH A HA….. WE ARE FING JOKE…………….

    The phrase “dogs and monkeys” in relation to Keir Starmer and an Egyptian national refers to a recent controversy involving British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah.
    After his release from prison in Egypt in December 2025, Abd El-Fattah arrived in the UK, a moment welcomed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other senior government officials.

    In some of the tweets he describes the killing of Zionists as heroic, adding “we need to kill more of them”. He also once described British people as dogs and monkeys.

    I was talking with a friend this morning and made reference to the fraud happening in Minnesota. She only watches main stream media. She knew nothing about it. I had assumed that everyone knew about it, but it is scary how those limiting their viewing to BBC and ITV know even less than people here know. I suspect we too know little what happens in the world.

    Makes me wonder where the money went – are there palaces in Somalia ? The network of fraud is enormous – ranging from transport to interpreters ….

    I wonder how many more democrat state / Labour councils are doing the same …

    BTW – seen an undercover report on a secret service dummy giving security information to a reporter – JD and presidential movements . He admitted to being a Biden hire and a Biden supporter – still rot in the secret service ….

    “Why are there protests in Iran ?” asks the useless BBC.

    There follows loads of guff, but one word is not mentioned: ISLAM.

    The people have seen what Islamic rule looks like, and they absolutely hate it.

    “Electric cars and smart devices are not just consumer technologies, but sensor platforms that aggregate and transmit large amounts of data. This can include geolocation and routes, telematics, network metadata, and sometimes audio or video. Some of this information can be used for navigation, security systems, personalization, and technical support.

    But the volume and repeated collection make these devices points of constant surveillance. In times of peace and war, these information flows take on a security dimension. Even incomplete and scattered fragments collected from various sources can be combined to create an accurate map of the movements, connections, and operating modes of critical infrastructure.

    So the chief plod of West Midlands is refusing to resign so the decision has to be made by a ‘crime commissioner ‘ .

    Here’s an idea – abolish all those police forces – make it national or big regions with the PM hiring and firing – there’s no local accountability – it’s nonsense – it would save money – the most important thing of all …

    A group of migrants brought to Dungeness in Kent, after being rescued by the RNLI

      Hang on…

      They’re not being “rescued” they’re being ferried across the bloody channel.

      Being a former boat owner I’ve always had a soft spot for the RNLI, though thankfully I’ve never had to use them. However

      Their main job now appears to be to bring us us untold thousands of undocumented young men. We know nothing about them or their intentions. It’s insane.

      Just as long as they do this these parasites will continue to come. It’s a fxxxing liberty.

      So, next time someone rattles an RLNI box in front of me I’ll tell them to stick it up their @rse.
