This perhaps explains why they felt able to pay yet more enormous salaries to their so-called ‘top talent’. While households were switching off from our scandal-hit state broadcaster, BBC stars will have been popping the champagne corks. Scott Mills, the former Radio 2 host who was dismissed earlier this year, topped the table taking home between £745,000 and £749,999. Greg Mills, another DJ came in second getting between £440,000 and £444,999, while Stephen Nolan, a presenter on Northern Irish radio rounded out the top three with between £425,000 and £429,999. Naturally John O’Connell was more than happy to speak up for hard working Brits, telling the Telegraph: “Failing public trust, repeated scandals and six-figure salaries for star presenters make it harder than ever to justify this outdated and hated TV tax.”
To make matters worse, rather than face up to the fact people are switching off the BBC due to bias or poor content, there are now calls to force people using streaming services to cough up for the licence fee too. John was bang on when he told Mail readers “Forcing streaming service subscribers to pay the licence fee would be an outrageous expansion of an already deeply unpopular tax” while telling the Sun it was “one of the most bonkers ideas ever concocted.”

Before long, William Yarwood popped up in the GB News studio, speaking with Jacob Rees-Mogg and he certainly didn’t mince his words: “I think if the BBC wants to prove itself as a proper broadcaster for the modern age, it should move away from the licence fee, towards a subscription model and act in the same way as many of the streaming services do… politicians in parliament could do this quite quickly but the issue is there is no courage or will to do so.”
My Comment:
But we all know we have been here before. As long as Lisa Nandy Minister for Culture & Sports who is about to consider to award the BBC another five years BBC Charter and yet another ‘approval’ for a TV license increase, they may decide to TAX ‘other’ online broadcasters through a new bill claiming the BBC is ‘The Most Trusted News Broadcaster’ and must be placed at the top of any Google Search/ Social Media and feature prominatly on YouTube with an alert to pay your TV License (use hidden tracking on your mobile phone and web page). This is the GREEN paper to BOOST BBC ratings… https://www.gov.uk/government/news/plans-for-prominence-of-trusted-news-sources-on-social-media-alongside-measures-to-reform-public-service-media-in-the-uk
This sadly appears to be the future of the BBC. An EAST GERMAN copycat state News channel.
Even if the TV license disappears, it will be put on local taxation and ‘other broadcasters’ via a new social media tax proposed in the GREEN paper.

The BBC is profiling the new cabinet.
It says Louise Haigh resigned in 2025 after it ’emerged she had admitted a fraud offence in 2013′.
She actually resigned (in 2024) for the fraud conviction (in 2014) AND for lying about not having any convictions when she entered government
Breaking: Nick Brown found drilling for baby oil still
The BBC could easily make a profit and pay dividends to licence holders.
They had the greatest TV archive in the world by a distance, but wiped so many TV programmes off their tapes in the early seventies to save a few measly quid (there was three channels then) including Doctor Who, Hancock, Juke Box Jury and early Alan Bennett plays
“Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary Cat Little has told staff this morning that the Digital ID policy isn’t totally dead after all. Instead, it lives on within DCMS. She even apologised for the confusion given the briefings to the opposite effect. Not to mention the fact that Burnham’s spokesman said over the weekend that the “time and resource that was going to be spent on a national ID scheme will go instead to where it’s most needed, such as helping with the cost of living“. The cracks already appearing. Darren Jones is having a fantastic 24 hours post-sacking…”
OMG.
Not BBC.
I watched a bit of Peston on ITV. Dawn Butler was on.

There’s a ‘thing ‘ about the 5% vat cut – if I recall it was introduced by one John major in that famous ‘lie’ – when he said in PMQs that ‘there are no plans to introduce vat on fuel at the Moment ‘ which tarnished any trust in him ….
The daily charge is more important … and that’s green crap
Darren jones – a Starmer clone who was fired yesterday – has already started attacks on bodybags – with an accusation that the vat cut is ‘unfunded ‘ – it is – of course – because all government spending is unfunded because we are in debt …
The vat cut will be neutralised by increased fuel costs in October ….just in time for winter …

On an earlier thread I was critical of Burham’s rogue’sgallery of newly appointed Ministers. Specifically very critical of Louise Haigh’s appointment:
“Louise Haigh, who has a grubby insurance fraud conviction, probably the worst offender of the bunch. Something very low and deliberate about making a false insurance claim, not a spur of the moment error, A drink driving conviction would be more acceptable in my opinion.”
A forum contributor, ‘G’ took issue with this in the following terms:
‘”I know very little of Louise Haigh but her conviction was > 10years ago and for the record, the 10 probably exceeds the 7 required by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The length of time is relative to the level of offence she was guilty of.
Just sayin.”
To my mind the elapsed time is irrelevant, we have a window into the character of Louise, she might (or might not) be a totally reformed person but we are talking about her being appointed to an important office of State. We have to view her and this appointment in the context of the other defective appointments that this dishonest and corrupt Goverment is making. We are paying the price for this farrago.
If she had an honour she’d have withdrawn from political life . I know my sense of honour is a bit on the high side for 2026 …that applies to any politician subject to the legal process it is their job to draught….
It’s all well and good burying gold in the garden – but last time I looked it wouldn’t actually buy any food or fuel…. Our societies depend on people being rational and respecting the infrastructure we have – currency has to function and retain value, it’s the responsibility of those we elect to govern / serve to ensure things like that work. I’ve been to Venezuela a number of times and seen destitution and desperation on a scale that most Brits can perhaps imagine – but seeing people in rags and hungry with their lives obviously disintegrating around them is sobering in the extreme. The whispering thing … yes… seen that – but the light only went on with the context described here. 20-25% of Venezuela’s population now live abroad – that would be ca. 17 million leaving the UK. I wish people would think about it in those terms…
Venezuela’s dystopian descent into penury and chaos was facilitated by ideologically driven ignorant larcenous goons (bandits even!)- that’s what we’ve got underway in the UK. I hope we don’t get to do the full Venezuelan thing.
Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, officially estimated at approximately 303 billion barrels. This accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total supply, surpassing major energy producers like Saudi Arabia and Canada.
The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has led to one of the largest mass migrations in Latin America’s history.
President Nicolás Maduro blames “imperialists” – the likes of the US and Europe – for waging “economic war” against Venezuela and imposing sanctions on many members of his government.
But his critics say it is economic mismanagement – first by predecessor Hugo Chávez and now President Maduro himself – that has brought Venezuela to its knees.
The country has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. Now, its economy is in tatters.

“Civil servants working for government departments based in London have been offered relocation packages to encourage them to move to the North of England, the BBC understands.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9d8p0l29pxo
Announcing the changes,, external which will also include an AI Taskforce, Leader of the House of Lords, Baroness Angela Smith said No 10 North would be a “dominant driver of the UK’s economy”.
In his previous report this morning he stated in respect of the suspect charged over the Ann Widdecombe murder:
“CPS pledges 10-year plan to bring case to trial… just kidding. I’m guessing after a brief appearance before the magistrates we’ll hear absolutely nothing more until at least January 2027 at the earliest. Sub Judice and all that, dontcha know.”
Correction: A provisional trial date has been listed for 8 June 2027. (Amy Walker and Dominic Casciani, Home and Legal Correspondent, Reporting from Westminster Magistrates’ Court, BBC)
Conclusion: Never underestimate the duplicity of the regime and its determination to kick a can down the road as far as is feasibly possible.

Coordination and delivery of cross-government priorities
Oversight of national security policy coordination
Oversight of state reform and Civil Service reform
Communications policy for Government
Propriety and ethics
Public appointments”
Co-conspirators can decide whether they think that’s appropriate…
The vat cut on 1st October will be killed by the rise in energy on 1 October and then again on 1 January … the cost of living will not be cut for taxpayers – no doubt the welfare parasites will be looked after ….
It’s just been revealed that Anne Widdecombe was battered about the head 21 times with a hammer. So, this was a really nasty, vicious murder. A frenzied attack. A mess.
And yet, for nigh on 24 hours, Chief Superintendent Yokel of the Devon and Cornwall Plod, was trying to tell us they thought she’d had an accident.
Then we had a couple of days of “Don’t speculate”…and “There’s nothing to suggest this was either political target or an act of terrorism”…and “This could just be a burglary gone wrong.”
They’ve not had to do any real detective work, the whole horrendous episode was caught on her CCTV.
And even then, originally they still managed to arrest the wrong bloke.
The problem is – now that no one believes plod – how can they ever get trust again ? Whether it’s hilsborough- Manchester arena – Southport – Henry Nowak – Ann Widdecombe – uncountable invader crimes – there is no credibility – the use of law fare – and archaic sub judice rules – it’s all aimed at hiding the truth – then add the RICU PICU 77 brigade – cabinet officer – media briefings – and welcome to East Germany ….

This is Iran conducting a war against the world…but according to Starmer ‘this is not our war’ as Iran tries to sink the world economy including of course, our own.

My Comment:
But we all know we have been here before. As long as Lisa Nandy Minister for Culture & Sports who is about to consider to award the BBC another five years BBC Charter and yet another ‘approval’ for a TV license increase, they may decide to TAX ‘other’ online broadcasters through a new bill claiming the BBC is ‘The Most Trusted News Broadcaster’ and must be placed at the top of any Google Search/ Social Media and feature prominatly on YouTube with an alert to pay your TV License (use hidden tracking on your mobile phone and web page). This is the GREEN paper to BOOST BBC ratings…

This sadly appears to be the future of the BBC. An EAST GERMAN copycat state News channel.
Even if the TV license disappears, it will be put on local taxation and ‘other broadcasters’ via a new social media tax proposed in the GREEN paper.
AXE THE TAX Campaign continues: We shall win, but this new governemnt has James Purnell advising Andy Burnham on MEDIA management and STRATEGY!! He left the BBC to heada Media company As you do as a ex Labour MP.

The BBC is profiling the new cabinet.
It says Louise Haigh resigned in 2025 after it ’emerged she had admitted a fraud offence in 2013′.
She actually resigned (in 2024) for the fraud conviction (in 2014) AND for lying about not having any convictions when she entered government

The BBC could easily make a profit and pay dividends to licence holders.
They had the greatest TV archive in the world by a distance, but wiped so many TV programmes off their tapes in the early seventies to save a few measly quid (there was three channels then) including Doctor Who, Hancock, Juke Box Jury and early Alan Bennett plays

“Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary Cat Little has told staff this morning that the Digital ID policy isn’t totally dead after all. Instead, it lives on within DCMS. She even apologised for the confusion given the briefings to the opposite effect. Not to mention the fact that Burnham’s spokesman said over the weekend that the “time and resource that was going to be spent on a national ID scheme will go instead to where it’s most needed, such as helping with the cost of living“. The cracks already appearing. Darren Jones is having a fantastic 24 hours post-sacking…”

There’s a ‘thing ‘ about the 5% vat cut – if I recall it was introduced by one John major in that famous ‘lie’ – when he said in PMQs that ‘there are no plans to introduce vat on fuel at the Moment ‘ which tarnished any trust in him ….
The daily charge is more important … and that’s green crap
Vat off fuel £45 + BBC License £180 + Tax allowance at £20K + 650 MP pay reduce to minimum pay plus linked to performance
Live from Downing Street as Burnham hosts first cabinet meeting
Darren jones – a Starmer clone who was fired yesterday – has already started attacks on bodybags – with an accusation that the vat cut is ‘unfunded ‘ – it is – of course – because all government spending is unfunded because we are in debt …
The vat cut will be neutralised by increased fuel costs in October ….just in time for winter …

We can but hope she passed after the first blow, so no further agony she felt.
She and I are the same age, and my blood runs cold ……. Life is f…g tough enough when getting old and alone, without having your life ended in such a violent fashion.
I would suggest that the first blow would be enough to take a person out. I’d like to test that theory on that hairy left wing c##t.
Cover up continues – bet he pleads guilty or prosecution offers no evidence to conceal the truth …. In 2028 ….
On an earlier thread I was critical of Burham’s rogue’sgallery of newly appointed Ministers. Specifically very critical of Louise Haigh’s appointment:
“Louise Haigh, who has a grubby insurance fraud conviction, probably the worst offender of the bunch. Something very low and deliberate about making a false insurance claim, not a spur of the moment error, A drink driving conviction would be more acceptable in my opinion.”
A forum contributor, ‘G’ took issue with this in the following terms:
‘”I know very little of Louise Haigh but her conviction was > 10years ago and for the record, the 10 probably exceeds the 7 required by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The length of time is relative to the level of offence she was guilty of.
Just sayin.”
To my mind the elapsed time is irrelevant, we have a window into the character of Louise, she might (or might not) be a totally reformed person but we are talking about her being appointed to an important office of State. We have to view her and this appointment in the context of the other defective appointments that this dishonest and corrupt Goverment is making. We are paying the price for this farrago.
If she had an honour she’d have withdrawn from political life . I know my sense of honour is a bit on the high side for 2026 …that applies to any politician subject to the legal process it is their job to draught….

The UK is channeling Venezuela.
It’s all well and good burying gold in the garden – but last time I looked it wouldn’t actually buy any food or fuel…. Our societies depend on people being rational and respecting the infrastructure we have – currency has to function and retain value, it’s the responsibility of those we elect to govern / serve to ensure things like that work. I’ve been to Venezuela a number of times and seen destitution and desperation on a scale that most Brits can perhaps imagine – but seeing people in rags and hungry with their lives obviously disintegrating around them is sobering in the extreme. The whispering thing … yes… seen that – but the light only went on with the context described here. 20-25% of Venezuela’s population now live abroad – that would be ca. 17 million leaving the UK. I wish people would think about it in those terms…
Venezuela’s dystopian descent into penury and chaos was facilitated by ideologically driven ignorant larcenous goons (bandits even!)- that’s what we’ve got underway in the UK. I hope we don’t get to do the full Venezuelan thing.
Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, officially estimated at approximately 303 billion barrels. This accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total supply, surpassing major energy producers like Saudi Arabia and Canada.

The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has led to one of the largest mass migrations in Latin America’s history.
President Nicolás Maduro blames “imperialists” – the likes of the US and Europe – for waging “economic war” against Venezuela and imposing sanctions on many members of his government.
But his critics say it is economic mismanagement – first by predecessor Hugo Chávez and now President Maduro himself – that has brought Venezuela to its knees.
The country has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. Now, its economy is in tatters.
I have been there (Cúcuta) / walked across that bridge to get a visa.
Pretty quiet on the Maduro front – Mr + Mrs are presently residing in Brooklyn New York..
“Ann Widdecombe died after being hit on the head with a hammer 21 times at her Devon home as she ate lunch, prosecutors have told Westminster Magistrates’ Court.”

“Burnham has announced an extra £340 million as an ‘opening investment’ to acquire 1,200 existing homes and support for 3,000 people.
He wants to build more social housing – but that will take time (as the plan to acquire existing homes admits) and housebuilding has been falling.
So he might be able to get everyone a bed for a night if he’s willing to spend the money – but it will be tougher to keep them in one.”
£340m/1,200 = £283,333 per house?
For a standard 3-bed home (100 m²), expect to pay between £180,000 and £300,000.

In his previous report this morning he stated in respect of the suspect charged over the Ann Widdecombe murder:
“CPS pledges 10-year plan to bring case to trial… just kidding. I’m guessing after a brief appearance before the magistrates we’ll hear absolutely nothing more until at least January 2027 at the earliest. Sub Judice and all that, dontcha know.”
Correction: A provisional trial date has been listed for 8 June 2027. (Amy Walker and Dominic Casciani, Home and Legal Correspondent, Reporting from Westminster Magistrates’ Court, BBC)
Conclusion: Never underestimate the duplicity of the regime and its determination to kick a can down the road as far as is feasibly possible.

Interesting body language there
This is the US version of Lammy
There are 28 ministers in the new Cabinet. This is the sum total of their private sector experience:
– Louise Haigh: Three years in a middle management role at Aviva. Ended in a fraud conviction.
– Andy Burnham: Three years in a small publishing business after university.
They clearly have business expertise then, comparitively.
The government still states of Haigh, who has a fraud conviction: “She is responsible for:
Oversight of all Cabinet Office policy
Coordination and delivery of cross-government priorities
Oversight of national security policy coordination
Oversight of state reform and Civil Service reform
Communications policy for Government
Propriety and ethics
Public appointments”
Co-conspirators can decide whether they think that’s appropriate…

The vat cut on 1st October will be killed by the rise in energy on 1 October and then again on 1 January … the cost of living will not be cut for taxpayers – no doubt the welfare parasites will be looked after ….
Now, this is something I’m struggling with…
It’s just been revealed that Anne Widdecombe was battered about the head 21 times with a hammer. So, this was a really nasty, vicious murder. A frenzied attack. A mess.
And yet, for nigh on 24 hours, Chief Superintendent Yokel of the Devon and Cornwall Plod, was trying to tell us they thought she’d had an accident.
Then we had a couple of days of “Don’t speculate”…and “There’s nothing to suggest this was either political target or an act of terrorism”…and “This could just be a burglary gone wrong.”
They’ve not had to do any real detective work, the whole horrendous episode was caught on her CCTV.
And even then, originally they still managed to arrest the wrong bloke.
They don’t really inspire confidence, do they…
The initial police and paramedic response treated John “Goldfinger” Palmer’s death as a non-suspicious medical incident.
He was shot six times (chest, abdomen, arm, elbow, back, and kidneys) from a firearm at close range
The problem is – now that no one believes plod – how can they ever get trust again ? Whether it’s hilsborough- Manchester arena – Southport – Henry Nowak – Ann Widdecombe – uncountable invader crimes – there is no credibility – the use of law fare – and archaic sub judice rules – it’s all aimed at hiding the truth – then add the RICU PICU 77 brigade – cabinet officer – media briefings – and welcome to East Germany ….
Yes, kind of bizarre as we were told she had died of natural causes….must have been absolutely apparent she had been attacked….’don’t think so mate’.
Now we’re told the coroner is having trouble asserting cause of death….more investigation needed.
Maybe if she’d been hit 22 times the cause would be more apparent eh?

Marina Hyde in the Guardian seems to have Donald Trump living rent free in her head.

It feels like the overwhelming majority of her columns is just another childish, sarcastic and vicious unwarranted lefty spew of bile against Trump.
She would probably struggle to put an article without him so she should be grateful for him keeping her in a job.
Several of the other Guardian columnists are of similar type including the professional sarcasm king John Crace who has Farage living in his head rent free.
Like Baldric, I have a cunning plan for the Bangladeshi Broadcast Corporation to achieve their £500m cuts. Tell all the staff that they are going to make a 20% cut in everyone’s salary. Watch the rats leave a sinking corporation.
Leave? Where would they go, most wouldn’t be able to find a similar paid job, even after a cut
Louise Haigh doesn’t seem to be quite the woman with red hai she once was; Angie seems to be off the pies and even ‘our Andy’ seems slimmer than he was when he was elected as an mp. Of course people can get Ozempic on the NHS.

US says it will attack Bridges and power plants used to support Iranian military actions and the Left immediately shouts ‘war crime’…even though it’s not.
Contrast Iran continually attacks civilian shipping, it attacks civilian infrastructure in neighbouring countries, it attacks a desalination plant, it attacks Bahrain’s air navigation systems and has apparently bombed an Amazon facility in Bahrain…..and not a peep about war crimes.
This is Iran conducting a war against the world…but according to Starmer ‘this is not our war’ as Iran tries to sink the world economy including of course, our own.
Think Iran is one big war crime of a state….and needs to go back to the stone age. Not a war crime just self-defence for the world.
