    A first by accident!

    Why are the BBC refusing to report Starmer and Hermer’s involvement with IHAT and Phil Shiner.

    Lest we forget:
    COVID – The BBC abandoned impartiality years ago.
    A reckoning for the Covid lockdowns is overdue …. (By Tony Young writing in DT last Nov 2025)

    My trust in the BBC collapsed… it was during the Covid pandemic when the Corporation decided its job was producing pro-lockdown propaganda:

    BBC news footage gave the impression that anyone who breached the social distancing rules was at serious risk of dying. (This was not the reality: in 2021 the global infection fatality rate was reckoned by John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford, to be 0.27 per cent).
    ..
    But the Beeb went further than this, combining with other news organisations to discredit anyone casting doubt on the wisdom of the lockdown policy. It leveraged its status as the founder of the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), a partnership with Reuters, the Associated Press, Agence France-Press, the Financial Times, the New York Times and the Washington Post to suppress sceptical voices on social media – the subject of an anti-trust law suit in the US brought by various independent news publishers. Indeed, the founder of the TNI, a senior BBC executive called Jessica Cecil, was a member of the Counter Disinformation Policy Forum, a shadowy group of “experts” convened by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to monitor criticism of the government’s pandemic response.

    The Corporation’s role as the gatekeeper of (so called) “trusted journalism” – was extended when Deborah Turness, the now ex-BBC News CEO, set up BBC -VERIFY- , a team of 60 “fact-checkers” tasked with exposing the mis- and disinformation supposedly being pumped out by rival news organisations. I look forward to the investigation by Marianna Spring, VERIFY”S star journalist, into the shortcomings of the BBC’s own reporting, as highlighted by the Telegraph…. BBC VERIFY is censorship by another name…

    BBC Misinformation VERIFY service is politically biased fact…

    If our public service broadcaster is going to restore its reputation, it will need to conduct a thorough inquiry into the failure of its news division to live up to its commitment to impartiality, as enshrined (ignored) in the BBC Charter. The first item on the agenda should be its coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    The torrent of innuendo nasty smear, suggestive headlines on the BBC website re Andrew.

    So far NO DETAILS OF ANY WRONG DOING have been proven but the BBC have already decided to taint him to the maximum degree possible.

    Andrew…. right or wrong, this BBC pre evidence witch hunt is obscene and revealing of the nastiness of the BBC as an organisation.

    It needs to be dismantled. It is an underground anti-British cess pit.

    I was thinking ( tricky ) the PMQ on Wednesday is likely to be the easiest for TTK – all the Epstein stuff can be batted off to ‘police inquiries ‘…. Although he might get something about his association with the rat who prosecuted soldiers … where the Hansard record has been corrected to admit ‘yes he did work on prosecuting soldiers ‘…
    In more decent times i d think that was a resigning issue – but in the scheme of things it’s a nothing for an amoral – evil PM …

    Young Bob
    “During the time of Ramadan, and after a Christian preacher was antagonised by Muslims, I decided to do some interviews and debate outside of East London Mosque.”

    “I’ve just been attacked by a gang of Muslims outside of East London Mosque in Whitechapel.”

    “Here’s the damage in Whitechapel.
    My hands are bleeding all over because I was holding onto my stuff.
    My SD card and most of my film and audio equipment got stolen because they grabbed my pockets.
    And the police did absolutely nothing.”

    Lefty twitter “but you antagonise people”

    (I actually don’t support this counter demo stuff where you harang the opposition,
    but they are wrong to react with violence)
