The BBC are wasteful in their salaries and other spending. Defund the BBC. Cancel your TallyTax! The BBC along with other MSMs, such as the Independent, would like the UK to be back in the EU. The BBC do not like Israel and are pro-Hamas. The BBC are not sympathetic to Bibi Netanyahu and would like him gone. The BBC are not inclined to support Nigel Farage and Reform. The BBC do not like President Trump of the USA. The BBC have TDS in bucket loads! Cancel your TellyTax – you know it makes sense!
I thought Badenoch’s response to Burnham’s speech was a woeful mistake. She posed a number of questions regarding his policies and ideas which Burnham never answered of course, it was a lost opportunity, she’d have done better to have had a proper go at him.
PMQ’s on Wednesday will enable Badenoch to ask even more questions which Burnham will probably not answer.
Burnham wants devolution for the regions. A big mistake in my view, Scotland’s and Wales’ devolutions should warn everyone how big a mistake devolution can be.
Andy Burnham sings to the choir, preaches to the converted… and the chamber echoes to those sounds our left-minded journos love to hear.
Brexit and Thatcher to blame for UK’s era of low growth, says PM (Pippa Crerar & Jessica Elgot tag-team on the Guardian lead this morning)
And naturally the Gruan leads the BBC’s print press line-up – no bias there then (sarc.)
There’s something of trifecta wager on the Guardian’s front page, as featured so prominently in the Burnham Bounce Corporation’s online news site press parade.
J’accuse Brexit and Thatcher is the point of an equilateral triangle of headlines supported by: This summer was UK’s hottest, says Met Office and by Russia behind Leipzig drone attack – Germany (Guardian)
Sing, Lofty! It Ain’t Half Hot Mum and who do you think you’re kidding Mr Putin, if you think old England’s done?
Apologies to Bud Flanagan
Mr. Burnham goes up to town on the eight twenty-one,
But his train was delayed and it’s been six weeks before he’s ready with his bun… I mean with his barm cake
Is old England done this time?
Well, Rishi Sunak referred to this nation of ours as “an exciting economic zone”
The best fractional ownership club in the world – boasts the advertising copy for The Hideaways Club – a corporation that this morning buys the prime ad spot on the cover of the globalist-oriented FT.
And with one of those rather telling juxtapositions of features: Fears rise on LSE’s health… deals targeting UK-listed businesses this year has hit $182bn as buyout firms snapped up two FTSE250 companies… a third group agreeing a takeover by an overseas rival (FT); More London losses… stock market is set to lose another three companies (Times)
It’s beginning to feel like an everything must go closing down sale.
Selling England by the Pound was a 1973 album by prog rock band Genesis
Burnham mulls insolvency law shake-up to help bring utilities under public control (Guardian)
Bargain buys or duff deals? Prem’s big moves rated – that’s the corporate adsheet Metro talking about football.
Joking aside, it’s in the FT, so it’s official: High borrowing costs pile pressure on Burham and Healey ahead of budget
Last time we suffered a Labour chancellor named Healey… was from 1974 to 1979… Denis Healey… secured a massive $3.9 billion emergency loan from the International Monetary Fund in December 1976 to rescue the plunging British pound.
Further down the BBC press pile beneath the top ranking Guardian we find…
Kemi: New PM wants to take us back to 70s (Express) Markets turn on Burnham (Telegraph) – that was a signal for Liz Truss to receive her P45 as one seems to recall.
The ever-excitable Daily Mail echoes the Guardian’s Burnham quote headline – but in mocking terms: Britain’s problems? I blame Thatcher and Brexit, says Burnham
So the Labour message “Thatcher & Brexit” – put them together and what have got?
Answer: Nigel Farage.
In-the-tank for Labour red top Daily Mirror is explicit where the Gruan just hints: A fresh start versus Farage farce (Mirror)
What’s happened to The Starminator, Queer Stalin, Two-Tier Sir Keir?
Former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced he is to stand down as an MP to focus on a role in international affairs. The move will trigger a by-election in the London seat of Holborn and St Pancras, long a Labour stronghold… Labour’s main challenger in the seat is likely to be the Greens, who came second by vote totals at this year’s local elections in wards that make up the constituency – with 29.8% of the vote to Labour’s 39.5%. (BBC)
So watch Labour now strafe Right and pander Left.
Burnham pushes welfare cuts into 2027 (i paper)
Let’s get the limp-wristed dripping wet Tory take care of Tim Stanley of the mildly conservative Telegraph: What a relief! The PM’s a dud. For a horrid moment I thought Labour had found a man who could flog socialism to simpletons…
The expression he has in mind is selling sand to the arabs – but that would sound a bit racialist. Anyway, apparently our Andy went on talking about buses more than you’d hear from some bored OAP on a Manchester street corner.
Apparently āback to the 70sā Burnham is blaming Thatcher and Brexit for our ills.
Letās concentrate on Brexit.
For a start, 52% of the voting public voted in favour, so who exactly is he blaming? The people for voting the wrong way?
Next up, his own party, the Libtards, the uniparty arm of the Tories, and not to mention the Speaker John Bercow, did everything they could for 3 years to thwart the will of the people. The 2017 election result produced stalemate. Nothing happened, and the EU, smirking quietly, could play hardball. It took the clear Boris victory in 2019 to produce progress and he didnāt make for a great negotiator, but we got it over the line.
It wasnāt Brexit, it might however have been how it was handled afterwards by among others Burnhamās own party, while he was tucked away in Manchester.
Until those long vacuous 2 hours yesterday with st Andy holding court – i too was worried that he might be a āproper ā leader .
Sure – he will fool plenty of the believers and push the polls – but when cold economics bites no ācharisma ā is going to protect him from ādifficult decisionsā.
How he will explain away the failure to finance defence – I have no idea – upsetting the US over chagos – overseas giveaways – a fixation with ālocal democracy ā / jobs for the girls – boys – whatever –
He seems destined to increase council tax and capital gains tax and any other tax they can get away with – but it wonāt be enough as borrowing costs cripple ā¦.
Trying to get to hospital the other day there was a logjam on the road. It was first day back at a particular school. Every parent seemed to be taking their kids by car into the school grounds. The tailback from the school entrance reached the main road and the result was gridlock.
It was a Muslim primary school, funded by the state. I guess those of the faith are happy to travel any distance to prioritise their separateness over going to the local school. It was by the way 1030 so I guess no parents were actually working either.
The actual point of course is that the powers that be constantly fail to understand why we need our cars, as they patronise us to walk and cycle everywhere, all the time, for all reasons.
Use your BBC TV Tax to pay for heating! Cost of living demands you stop paying Lineker his pension and Huw Edwards says his £200K will not be paid back.
It’s often argued by Socialists and Remoaners that the illegal immigration issue is worse because of Brexit, because we can’t return illegal immigrants because we left the EU. The facts are that the EU itself is the problem, open borders, human Rights, Socialist EU governments and EU leadership. Does anyone really think we would be returning illegals to France/EU if we were still members? I think not, it would be more likely there would be an EU directive to force us to take so many million.
“A fair share of migrants across the European Union relies on a proportional allocation system based on each member state’s capacity, which public opinion surveys show is strongly favored by European citizens.”
Flagged down a London Taxi, asked to go to Berners place, its a small street off Oxford Street. The driver had NO IDEA where it was!. He was a Somali.
Took another Taxi later, English driver, told him about it. He said I should have taken the other drivers plate number & reported him. He also told me London Transport have a scheme to fast track ethnics to be Taxi drivers.
“The “Fast Track Knowledge” Initiative (2007): In 2007, a scheme was launched to support women and ethnic minorities studying the “Knowledge of London” to become licensed taxi drivers. While designed to support applicants through the learning process, official TfL documentation confirms that all participants had to undergo the standard examination process and were assessed to the exact same benchmarks as other applicants”
“Yusuf Abdi Ali, a former Somali army commander accused of human rights abuses, worked as an Uber and Lyft driver in Virginia before a 2019 U.S. federal jury found him liable for torture”
Burnham winds the Political clock back 40 years to blame Thatcher for our current economic issues. I would suggest turning the clock back to incorporate 70 years to blame the Socialist Atlee, Wilson, Bliar and Brown Governments They hooked the public onto benefits and handouts in order to achieve and keep power. The country is addicted and Burnham will be yet another Socialist pusher.
“Sir Rod Stewart famously left the UK as a tax exile in 1975 to avoid high income tax rates, though he has more recently criticized the political and tax systems for keeping rich people wealthy”

Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that wealthier and middle-class areas across the UK must take their “fair share” of asylum seekers to relieve poorer communities from bearing a disproportionate burden.
Here I sit waiting ….the excitement rising…it’s the news that..
Over the summer break Rachel Reeves has been considering her future and is stepping down as an M.P.
Her job is done …the economy is growing , like topsy and everything is going so well, etc,etc. She has realised that new challenges exist and she has an application pending for a job at the Bank of England….as an economist.
N.B. none of the above is true…..bit like Keir’s nonsense yesterday.
Hanbury hires former Rachel Reeves adviser
Strategic advisory firm Hanbury Strategy has appointed a director who was previously a business adviser to the Chancellor.
Hanbury Strategy is another lobbying firm set up by former Cameron advisers. In 2022 Hanbury hired Chris Ward as a director. Ward was Keir Starmerās deputy chief of staff in 2021, having worked for Starmer since 2015. Ward now heads up Hanburyās āLabour Unitā to āhelp clients navigate what could be the next Governmentā. Hanburyās current clients include gambling giant Flutter, finance firms like UBS and Blackstone, and oil driller Navitas Petroleum.

A 32-year-old man has died after he was assaulted at Liverpool Street Underground station on Sunday night as he travelled back from Notting Hill Carnival.
Emergency services were called to the stationās eastbound Central Line platform at 10.51pm following reports of a serious assault.
The victim was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died yesterday.
His family are being supported by specialist officers.
Maximo, a British national, has been remanded into custody to appear at Highbury Corner Magistratesā Court today.
BTP Detective Superintendent Sam Blackburn, who previously described the attack as āparticularly violentā, said: āFirst and foremost our thoughts are firmly with loved ones of the young man who has sadly died.
āThey are being supported by specially trained officers as our investigation continues.
āThe victim was travelling back from Notting Hill Carnival at the time of the incident, and we continue to appeal to anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to police to come forward and assist our investigation.ā
Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has been convicted and fined in a fast-track court system after being accused of not taxing a 24-year-old Nissan Micra in what his team has called a “scam”.
The Labour politician, 55, was found guilty by a magistrate last month of keeping an unlicensed vehicle, in a criminal prosecution brought by the DVLA.
Court documents show that DVLA letters addressed to the mayor about the unpaid tax bill were sent to Gordon Ramsay’s east London restaurant, instead of the nearby Transport for London (TfL) offices.
City Hall officials said the car did not belong to the mayor or TfL.
A spokesperson for the mayor said: “This is a scam, which is a crime. It’s not the first time the mayor has been victim of a scam involving people falsely stating that Sadiq is the owner of a vehicle.
“Such behaviour is illegal, and the DVLA are aware.”
The mayor’s adviser told BBC London the DVLA was “urgently” looking into reopening the case, with a view to withdrawing the prosecution.
The DVLA will also investigate the false registration, the adviser said.
The magistrate, sitting in a private hearing of the Single Justice Procedure in Herefordshire, convicted Khan in his absence and ordered that he pay a £220 fine, £85 in costs, and settle the £35.84 bill for unpaid tax on the Micra.
After the mayor expanded the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) to cover the whole of London he faced a wave of protests, including from motorists who said they planned to register their car in his name – supposedly to make him liable for the Ā£12.50 daily charge.
The Single Justice Procedure system is imploding / being abused – I’m fighting DVLA over unpaid tax fine (Ā£550) from a previous keeper. DVLA refused to stop it going to court and acknowledged I wasn’t the keeper / owner of the vehicle until 3 months after the offence was registered.
Here we have the BBC in full anti-Trump, pro-Muslim terrorist mode yet again.
BBC report:
‘Two oil tankers have hit sea mines and exploded while trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says in a statement shared by state media Irna.’
AI:
‘No, there is no official verification that any ships have hit naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis. While Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims that multiple oil tankers have hit mines, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has explicitly rejected these claims as disinformation’
More clear evidence of the BBC spreading disinformation to push their anti-Trump agenda. Because of course the Left only pretend it’s wrong then other people do it.
I see the USA are also bad people for accidently killing 4 in a wedding ceremony. We aren’t told anything at all about the context of course – just as we weren’t told the school which got hit used to be the missile base HQ until the story was dead.
The BBC then tell us:
‘Iranian Red Crescent: Four killed in US strike on wedding ceremony’
But AI tells me:
‘Visual evidence and local reports from Iran International and the BBC show that a prominent military telecommunications tower sitting right next to the Kuhestak coast was completely destroyed in the strike’
‘The wedding venue itself was located just 130 meters away from the targeted telecommunications tower. Because of this close proximity, the residential home was either misidentified in the dark orāas heavily indicated by the Iranian Red Crescentāwas devastatingly compromised by heavy missile shrapnel and blast radius impact from the nearby explosion.’
Another MASSIVE lie from the BBC. It was not a strike on the wedding at all : it was collateral damage by shrapnel.
The BBC scum are desperately trying to spin everything as if the USA are the bad guys. It’s another disgusting article which will encourage Iran to keep fighting just as all their lies by omission in Gaza encouraged Hamas to keep fighting.
These dirty activist Lefty liars get confident to be even more dirty every time they get away with it. How much innocent civilian blood is on their hands now ?. Particularly after Gaza.
Can they really be so consumed with hatred of Trump that they don’t give a shit about whose deaths they use or cause in the process of trying to discredit him ?. It seems to me now that they are. They will think that the ends justify whatever means THEY think are necessary. As did all the other socialist/communist mass murderers throughout history.
gawd… Potato Ed really is an embarrassment – but – it’s not like he’s alone – UK politics is very crowded field of irredeemable eejits -who, largely thanks to the BBC led MSM are effectively immune from any challenge that might humiliate them into finding alternate employment.

The state of R4 is just execrable – if only because I regularly hear stuff that I feel requires confirmation (time wasted checking) – which occasionally spirals down a rabbit hole looking at what actually relevant info they didn’t reveal (or, more often – chose to withhold!)
The BBC is a propaganda mouthpiece for a terrorist state….Iran. Here’s it’s latest headline on behalf of the IRGC…
‘Iran calls deaths at wedding celebration a ‘war crime’ as US denies targeting civilians’
Well…if Iran says so the BBC must report violent rhetoric…of course only when it suits…deciding not to report Lord Woolley denouncing the death of Jason Arday as a ‘lynching’ and an ‘assassination’….rather than criticise Woolley as they would have done had it been a right-winger they just hid the extremist, violent and dangerous language.
Then today we have the BBC again reporting the words of the terrorist IRGC telling us that the United States has bombed a wedding and killed some civilians….but…also…Iran says 2 tankers are burning after having hit mines…oh right….and who laid those mines? Is it not a war crime to attack civilian ships as Iran does constantly never mind holding the world to ransom?
Curious how the BBC namechecks the US for a bombing but fails to mention Iran laid those mines.
The BBC is, and has been for years, a mouthpiece of a terrorist state.
Apparently Farage is being ‘investigated for his failure to register a donation of Ā£5m…’ according to the BBC.
No…no he’s not…what’s being investigated is whether or not he was required to register that donation…and only then if they decide he should have registered it can it be called a ‘failure to register’.

Burnham pushes welfare cuts into 2027 (i paper)
Let’s get the limp-wristed dripping wet Tory take care of Tim Stanley of the mildly conservative Telegraph: What a relief! The PM’s a dud. For a horrid moment I thought Labour had found a man who could flog socialism to simpletons…
The expression he has in mind is selling sand to the arabs – but that would sound a bit racialist. Anyway, apparently our Andy went on talking about buses more than you’d hear from some bored OAP on a Manchester street corner.
Apparently āback to the 70sā Burnham is blaming Thatcher and Brexit for our ills.
Letās concentrate on Brexit.
For a start, 52% of the voting public voted in favour, so who exactly is he blaming? The people for voting the wrong way?
Next up, his own party, the Libtards, the uniparty arm of the Tories, and not to mention the Speaker John Bercow, did everything they could for 3 years to thwart the will of the people. The 2017 election result produced stalemate. Nothing happened, and the EU, smirking quietly, could play hardball. It took the clear Boris victory in 2019 to produce progress and he didnāt make for a great negotiator, but we got it over the line.
It wasnāt Brexit, it might however have been how it was handled afterwards by among others Burnhamās own party, while he was tucked away in Manchester.

Until those long vacuous 2 hours yesterday with st Andy holding court – i too was worried that he might be a āproper ā leader .
Sure – he will fool plenty of the believers and push the polls – but when cold economics bites no ācharisma ā is going to protect him from ādifficult decisionsā.
How he will explain away the failure to finance defence – I have no idea – upsetting the US over chagos – overseas giveaways – a fixation with ālocal democracy ā / jobs for the girls – boys – whatever –
He seems destined to increase council tax and capital gains tax and any other tax they can get away with – but it wonāt be enough as borrowing costs cripple ā¦.

Trying to get to hospital the other day there was a logjam on the road. It was first day back at a particular school. Every parent seemed to be taking their kids by car into the school grounds. The tailback from the school entrance reached the main road and the result was gridlock.
It was a Muslim primary school, funded by the state. I guess those of the faith are happy to travel any distance to prioritise their separateness over going to the local school. It was by the way 1030 so I guess no parents were actually working either.
The actual point of course is that the powers that be constantly fail to understand why we need our cars, as they patronise us to walk and cycle everywhere, all the time, for all reasons.

It’s often argued by Socialists and Remoaners that the illegal immigration issue is worse because of Brexit, because we can’t return illegal immigrants because we left the EU. The facts are that the EU itself is the problem, open borders, human Rights, Socialist EU governments and EU leadership. Does anyone really think we would be returning illegals to France/EU if we were still members? I think not, it would be more likely there would be an EU directive to force us to take so many million.
“A fair share of migrants across the European Union relies on a proportional allocation system based on each member state’s capacity, which public opinion surveys show is strongly favored by European citizens.”
Had to be in London yesterday.
Flagged down a London Taxi, asked to go to Berners place, its a small street off Oxford Street. The driver had NO IDEA where it was!. He was a Somali.
Took another Taxi later, English driver, told him about it. He said I should have taken the other drivers plate number & reported him. He also told me London Transport have a scheme to fast track ethnics to be Taxi drivers.
The rot continues.
“The “Fast Track Knowledge” Initiative (2007): In 2007, a scheme was launched to support women and ethnic minorities studying the “Knowledge of London” to become licensed taxi drivers. While designed to support applicants through the learning process, official TfL documentation confirms that all participants had to undergo the standard examination process and were assessed to the exact same benchmarks as other applicants”

Burnham winds the Political clock back 40 years to blame Thatcher for our current economic issues. I would suggest turning the clock back to incorporate 70 years to blame the Socialist Atlee, Wilson, Bliar and Brown Governments They hooked the public onto benefits and handouts in order to achieve and keep power. The country is addicted and Burnham will be yet another Socialist pusher.

Another “British National” murderer
A 32-year-old man has died after he was assaulted at Liverpool Street Underground station on Sunday night as he travelled back from Notting Hill Carnival.
Emergency services were called to the stationās eastbound Central Line platform at 10.51pm following reports of a serious assault.
The victim was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died yesterday.
His family are being supported by specialist officers.
Maximo, a British national, has been remanded into custody to appear at Highbury Corner Magistratesā Court today.

āThey are being supported by specially trained officers as our investigation continues.
āThe victim was travelling back from Notting Hill Carnival at the time of the incident, and we continue to appeal to anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to police to come forward and assist our investigation.ā

Meanwhile Khan claims it was a scam, so the BBC immediately absolve him

BBC London – Headline news
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7708vn2yp7o
Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has been convicted and fined in a fast-track court system after being accused of not taxing a 24-year-old Nissan Micra in what his team has called a “scam”.
The Labour politician, 55, was found guilty by a magistrate last month of keeping an unlicensed vehicle, in a criminal prosecution brought by the DVLA.
Court documents show that DVLA letters addressed to the mayor about the unpaid tax bill were sent to Gordon Ramsay’s east London restaurant, instead of the nearby Transport for London (TfL) offices.
City Hall officials said the car did not belong to the mayor or TfL.
A spokesperson for the mayor said: “This is a scam, which is a crime. It’s not the first time the mayor has been victim of a scam involving people falsely stating that Sadiq is the owner of a vehicle.
“Such behaviour is illegal, and the DVLA are aware.”
The mayor’s adviser told BBC London the DVLA was “urgently” looking into reopening the case, with a view to withdrawing the prosecution.
The DVLA will also investigate the false registration, the adviser said.
The magistrate, sitting in a private hearing of the Single Justice Procedure in Herefordshire, convicted Khan in his absence and ordered that he pay a £220 fine, £85 in costs, and settle the £35.84 bill for unpaid tax on the Micra.
After the mayor expanded the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) to cover the whole of London he faced a wave of protests, including from motorists who said they planned to register their car in his name – supposedly to make him liable for the Ā£12.50 daily charge.
The Single Justice Procedure system is imploding / being abused – I’m fighting DVLA over unpaid tax fine (Ā£550) from a previous keeper. DVLA refused to stop it going to court and acknowledged I wasn’t the keeper / owner of the vehicle until 3 months after the offence was registered.
Infuriating it is.
Here we have the BBC in full anti-Trump, pro-Muslim terrorist mode yet again.
BBC report:
‘Two oil tankers have hit sea mines and exploded while trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says in a statement shared by state media Irna.’
AI:
‘No, there is no official verification that any ships have hit naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis. While Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims that multiple oil tankers have hit mines, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has explicitly rejected these claims as disinformation’
More clear evidence of the BBC spreading disinformation to push their anti-Trump agenda. Because of course the Left only pretend it’s wrong then other people do it.
I see the USA are also bad people for accidently killing 4 in a wedding ceremony. We aren’t told anything at all about the context of course – just as we weren’t told the school which got hit used to be the missile base HQ until the story was dead.
The BBC then tell us:
‘Iranian Red Crescent: Four killed in US strike on wedding ceremony’
But AI tells me:
‘Visual evidence and local reports from Iran International and the BBC show that a prominent military telecommunications tower sitting right next to the Kuhestak coast was completely destroyed in the strike’
‘The wedding venue itself was located just 130 meters away from the targeted telecommunications tower. Because of this close proximity, the residential home was either misidentified in the dark orāas heavily indicated by the Iranian Red Crescentāwas devastatingly compromised by heavy missile shrapnel and blast radius impact from the nearby explosion.’
Another MASSIVE lie from the BBC. It was not a strike on the wedding at all : it was collateral damage by shrapnel.
The BBC scum are desperately trying to spin everything as if the USA are the bad guys. It’s another disgusting article which will encourage Iran to keep fighting just as all their lies by omission in Gaza encouraged Hamas to keep fighting.
These dirty activist Lefty liars get confident to be even more dirty every time they get away with it. How much innocent civilian blood is on their hands now ?. Particularly after Gaza.
Can they really be so consumed with hatred of Trump that they don’t give a shit about whose deaths they use or cause in the process of trying to discredit him ?. It seems to me now that they are. They will think that the ends justify whatever means THEY think are necessary. As did all the other socialist/communist mass murderers throughout history.

War wankers
With the BBC’s vaunted/traditional investigative journalism prowess – from old times you might’ve expected that they’d cover the migrant mess.
Not a chance, BBC NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE
That depends on what you believe its purpose to be.
The BBC is a propaganda mouthpiece for a terrorist state….Iran. Here’s it’s latest headline on behalf of the IRGC…
‘Iran calls deaths at wedding celebration a ‘war crime’ as US denies targeting civilians’
Well…if Iran says so the BBC must report violent rhetoric…of course only when it suits…deciding not to report Lord Woolley denouncing the death of Jason Arday as a ‘lynching’ and an ‘assassination’….rather than criticise Woolley as they would have done had it been a right-winger they just hid the extremist, violent and dangerous language.
Then today we have the BBC again reporting the words of the terrorist IRGC telling us that the United States has bombed a wedding and killed some civilians….but…also…Iran says 2 tankers are burning after having hit mines…oh right….and who laid those mines? Is it not a war crime to attack civilian ships as Iran does constantly never mind holding the world to ransom?
Curious how the BBC namechecks the US for a bombing but fails to mention Iran laid those mines.
The BBC is, and has been for years, a mouthpiece of a terrorist state.
Apparently Farage is being ‘investigated for his failure to register a donation of Ā£5m…’ according to the BBC.
No…no he’s not…what’s being investigated is whether or not he was required to register that donation…and only then if they decide he should have registered it can it be called a ‘failure to register’.
BBC prejudging the outcome…wishful thinking.
