    Here am I, send me the top of this Thread in the absence of Debs. You have 14 mins to get here, Debs.

    The BBC like the rest of the MSM will be against Nigel Farage and the Reform Party that he leads. The BBC is wasteful in their recruitment policies. And are wasteful in enforcing the Licence Fee. I have been waiting for Capita to send their TVL operatives round since before Christmas 2025! The BBC are wasteful in their Pronunciation Dept. It is routine to hear ‘deck-aids’ (quoits & sunloungers) spoken by BBC employees and contributors alike. Defund the BBC! Debs, you have only 3 mins to get here. The BBC are anti-Israel and anti-Bibi Netanyahu. The BBC are pro-Palestinian. the BBC are pro-Hamas

        I just tried to look up Jonathan Powell’s links to China. Wikipedia never mentioned anything. I have been learning from JohnC. I asked Google the specific. I’m not surprised, now that Jonathan Powell has been appointed by Andy Burnham as National Security Adviser that giving away Chagos has reared its ugly head again.

    ‘Thirlwall cost millions but ignored the biggest Letby question of all’
    ‘Inquiry leader dismissed doubts over nurse’s guilt, but her report is meaningless if she is innocent

    The Thirlwall Inquiry is a strange phenomenon.

    For the last two years, it has been operating in a parallel universe, myopically ignoring the mounting questions surrounding Lucy Letby’s guilt and the growing evidence of a maternity scandal at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

    It has ploughed on regardless, eating through millions of pounds in taxpayer funding, while the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) decides whether to send the case back to the Court of Appeal.’

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09/15/thirlwall-inquiry-lucy-letby-countess-chester-hospital/

    And the BBC is determinedly ignoring that question as well.

    The BBC has persistently and relentlessly insisted that Lucy Letby is guilty….there is absolutely no doubt in their minds that this is so….they will not accept that there may be questions….they will not allow anyone to question the verdict of ‘guilty’….they are extraordinarily adamant about the verdict.

    Their top headline today…

    ‘Baby ‘cot cams’ plan after inquiry finds Lucy Letby crimes could have been prevented’

    And another report today…

    ‘Repeatedly untruthful, callous and quiet – what we learned about Lucy Letby from inquiry report’

    Well OK then…string her up…except that the BBC gives no examples of Letby lying other than the word of parents whose babies died….and we know they all want Letby to be guilty and themselves hate the idea of her having a fair appeal.

    And note…

    ‘The public inquiry was not tasked with examining Letby’s guilt.’

    So why is the BBC trying to fabricate a case for the prosecution by claiming Letby was a cold hearted callous person obviously capable of killing a baby?

    Here’s the BBC’s proof…

    ‘In a message to a colleague, Letby said: “Dad was on the floor crying saying please don’t take our baby away when I took [Baby A] to the mortuary, it’s heart-breaking.”

    Thirlwall said the mother of Baby A and Baby B, who Letby attempted to murder, was clear that this was not true and did not happen.’

    and

    ‘But Thirlwall outlined how Letby’s “inappropriate and callous behaviour” was noted by patients and colleagues.

    The mother, for example, of Baby E, who Letby murdered, and Baby F, who she attempted to kill, told the inquiry she had had “two thriving little boys” but that “in the space of a couple of hours it had all been taken”.

    After Baby E’s death, the mother told the inquiry she found her baby was still in his incubator, and she asked Letby why.

    “You haven’t told us to take him,” she says Letby told her.

    Thirlwall said Letby’s remark to a “bereaved mother was shockingly cold and unfeeling.”‘

    But…could that not be that Letby was allowing the mother to grieve and see her baby rather than whip it away before the mother had come to terms with the death? So is it compassion and caring or ‘shockingly cold and unfeeling’?

    It does seem the BBC is determined to keep Letby in prison regardless of the truth…and perhaps is hoping to influence the upcoming Criminal Cases Review Commission’s decision whether to allow an appeal.

    And of course it is utterly bizarre that an inquiry into this could ignore the question of guilt….if she’s not guilty then the inquiry findings are basically trash….odd the BBC doesn’t point that out.

      I wonder if anyone has done an inquiry into inquiries ? Such as – does anyone read them ? Particularly the ‘recommendations ‘? I think they are used just to allow a politician to say ‘we’ve done something ‘( set up an inquiry ) then kick the can so far that by the time the inquiry reports it’s somebody else’s ‘ problem … and repeat …particularly the fees the lawyers get for achieving nothing ..

    • Flotsam says:

      What is very clear is that the statistical evidence presented at Letby’s trial was seriously flawed and misled the jury.
      The inquiry obviously didn’t consider this because the babies deaths were murder and the murderer is behind bars. It seems to be very unfortunate the inquiry was held despite the proceedings of a criminal case review. The parents appear to be firmly behind the guilt of Letby, it’s probably a desire for closure, compensation? Sorry for the brutal assessment, I don’t mean to diminish the loss the parents have endured.
      The recommendation that all cots and incubators be fitted with webcams/CCTV is ludicrous. It does usefully demonstrate the unsuitability of the inquiry Chair.
      I’m sorry to say that the English adversarial system regularly creates injustices.

    The BBC knows it’s tosh but click-baity tosh…..they’re loving the ‘scandal’…the sports reporters have a juicy story…but it’s tosh.

    Here’s Amy Hunt once again…

    ‘British sprinter Amy Hunt says she is concerned about the controversial advert starring Sydney Sweeney being part of a “barrier” to girls’ participation in sport.

    “So it’s about empowering young girls and young women and young people to show that you really can just get out there, and you don’t have to worry what you look like. You don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing.”‘

    I mean…. complete tosh…complete lie…this is, as pointed out before, the Amy Hunt who gloried in glamming up in order to run…an essential part of the ritual…..looking good gave her confidence…

    ”Glam helps mentality’ says sprinter Amy Hunt, but can it give you that winning edge?’
    ‘They say practice makes perfect, but for some athletes that means more than just training to be as fast as possible.

    For many, it’s also about what you wear or how you accessorise with things like jewellery.

    So can getting glammed up help your performance?

    British sprinter Amy Hunt certainly thinks so, and it seems to be working as she’s now secured two gold medals at the European Athletics Championships.

    The 24-year-old, who’s gunning for a historic quadruple win at the event this week, told BBC Newsbeat “the glam definitely helps that mentality because sprinting is such a confidence game”.

    “Everyone knows I love a bit of glam and I love my nails.”‘

    “The past future is a foreign country; they do things differently there” is the famous opening line of the 1953 novel “The Go-Between” by British author L. P. Hartley

    Having barely got over the shock of our media informing us so many ‘Britons’ had been caught up in the recent Nepalese floods – now our concern is: British woman abducted in Malawi, police say… abducted in the southern African nation’s main city, Blantyre… Nusrat Osman, 47, was seized at around 12:30 local time on Friday by four men who had been travelling in a grey Nissan Dualis… Osman was reported to have been working for a local auditing firm. (Pumza Fihlani, BBC)

    “I don’t know where she is or how she is,” Osman’s husband, Nazil Osman, told a Malawi news outlet last week. (LBC)

    Beautiful British names – as the Al Murray comic stage character The Pub Landlord would be hard pressed to say in this case.

    Atupele Muluzi, the President of the United Democratic Front, said kidnappings are becoming more common in Malawi. He said: ‘I am deeply disturbed by reports of the kidnapping of Auditor Nusrat Jiwa Osman… Kidnappings and abductions are becoming increasingly frequent in Malawi’… A friend from a local nursery Little Oaks Montessori School, where Ms Osman sent her children, posted… ‘Nusrat was also one of the very first parents to enrol her child at Little Oaks Montessori School, making her a founding part of the Little Oaks family.’… The UK Foreign Office said that it was aware of reports that a British national had been abducted in Malawi and was in touch with local authorities. (giveaway freebie Metro)

    The Guardian front page, although purportedly the cover of a popular national daily broadsheet, likes to do an impression of those rather more niche special interest publications. I don’t mean Practical Caravan or The Railway Magazine. More like Spare Rib or the The Harlem Voice.

    This morning the Gruan is going for the Pink News look: Sunil Gupta… on photographing gay life for five decades (Guardian)

    Your Mr AsI has a bit of a thing about opera gloves – but he doesn’t demand a Pride Parade about it. As for someone dreaming up a flag or his local bank branch decorating their counter in honour of the opera glove kink… well, there’s no worries there as his local bank branch is no more.

    Perhaps it’s a posh totty thing? If so he’s well served this morning as both Times and Telegraph front page feature photos celebrate: Dashing Miss Daisy… Daisy Edgar-Jones attends premier… film adaptation of Jane Austin’s novel Sense and Sensibility… Out next week (Times); Cutting a dash… stars as Jane Austin’s protagonist Elinor Dashwood (Telegraph)

    One’s mind inevitably goes to vintage tv sitcom It Ain’t Half Hot Mum and the Colonel’s caution to his excitable young subordinate officer: “Steady on, Dashwood”

    One begins to worry about what will become of all those thousands of kids now being brought up on free school dinners… in term time and during the holidays – plus all these new free breakfast clubs – surely they will grow up to be fine upstanding citizens? Responsible members of the community eternally grateful for all the benefits wider society has expended on all their free grub?

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson phoned the England striker on 7 November to tell him there would be £396 million of support to provide free school meals this Christmas, next Easter and summer holidays. Rashford, who set up a petition for the cause which more than a million people signed, said it would improve the lives of nearly 1.7 million children. “Without the kindness and generosity of the community I had around me, there wouldn’t be the Marcus Rashford you see today: a 22-year-old black man lucky enough to make a career playing a game I love.” (CBBC Newsround, October 2020)

    Sadly our hopes come crashing down – or should I say our hopes deflate like a… big balloon of hope.

    Motorway madness… Balloonatic… Raheem Sterling admitted dangerous driving and possessing nitrous oxide after crashing his Lamborghini (Star); Vid of ace doing drug at wheel… Balloon before M3 Lambo crash… Sterling Mess (Sun)

    One’s mind (and that of the tabloid sub-editor) goes to that vintage old gag of the motorway cop flagging down the speeding vehicle and sarcastically asking the driver “Who do you think you are, Sterling Moss?”

    Speaking of the potential danger of road accidents: Member of UK armed forces dies in road traffic incident in Ukraine… the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced… The incident on Saturday was not the result of hostile action, the BBC understands.

    I guess we’ll have to take their word that.

    I am finding the contrast between the MSM version of the state of the Ukrainian war and the version told by certain reputable You Tube channels , eg the Duran , interesting.
    The BBC et al are on the one hand keen to emphasis that Ukraine is at least holding its own , that Russia is in economic melt down and short of troops and that the Putin regime faces mounting internal opposition. On the other hand they claim that despite these weaknesses Russia is about to invade NATO and that a direct attack by NATO on Russia is both justified and necessary to prevent Putin’s army from reaching the channel coast by next week.
    Obviously both of these claims can’t realistically be true.

    The Duran et al claim thatUkraine is on its last legs , that it has no troops left, no air defence, morale is rock bottom , the population has turned against the war and that Russia will occupy the eastern part of the country by Christmas. Also that NATO , or at least it’s European members, are trying to provoke Russia , or run false flag ops , to create a limited war with Russia. Which is course is insanely dangerous but when elites are in trouble they often think that war will bring their populations back into patriotic alignment. They are very likely completely wrong this time.

    The contrast between the two sources of news is extreme. It is far more than the result of a different editorial stance it is clear that one side , or possibly both , are just spewing out lies and propaganda.

    As I don’t trust a word the BBC says about anything and my trust in the UK government is similarly low , I’m inclined to believe that the Duran will be closer to the truth. But only time will tell. Of course if the balloon does go up we might never know.

      Ukraine’s fighter pilots are vastly outnumbered by the Russians, and have become legendary – thanks in part to the story of an alleged flying ace called the “Ghost of Kyiv”.

      This hero is said to have downed as many as 40 enemy planes – an incredible feat in an arena where Russia controls the skies.

    I know I’m repeating myself, but these are very strange times…

    Yesterday a vandal was found “Not Guilty” of vandalising the statue of Sir Winston Churchill, after daubing it with red paint and covering it with hateful comments, such as, “Zionist war criminal” and “Globalise the intifada”. The vandal was filmed doing it and admitted it, but…the “jury” still found him not guilty… Yes, I’m shocked, but I’m not really surprised. This is modern Britain.

    In my mind’s eye I can just see that jury. A number of opinionated liberal women, half baked lefty men and those with names I’d find difficult to pronounce.

    Yes, this is modern Britain.

    Sadly…

    ** No Christians hurt during this attack and no bibles blown up.

    Turki al-Maliki said the targeting of Mecca, which is the home of Islam’s most sacred shrine and the focal point of the Hajj pilgrimage, was a “disgraceful act”.

    But the Houthis, an Iran-backed armed group that controls much of western Yemen, denied targeting Mecca and accused Saudi Arabia of “fabrications and lies”.

      Fascism. Racism. Two words that are thrown around so casually and inaccurately that they’re rapidly losing their potency.

      When every disagreement is met with “You don’t agree? Oh, you’re a racist,” the words stop functioning as serious descriptions and become rhetorical weapons, moral hand grenades thrown to shut down legitimate discussion rather than engage with it.

      This woman comes across like she’s spent too long inside a corporate HR department: completely detached from the complexity of the real world, viewing everything through a narrow ideological prism.
      She almost come across as a bad actor.

      The concern being raised isn’t about race or skin colour. It’s about culture, and there is a substantial body of evidence, research, and experience that can be brought to bear on cultural differences and their consequences. Just ask those forced to live beside these people and what they’ve endured.

      Who voted for this? Were they asked? It strikes me as being quite tyrannical to force this on a population that doesn’t want it. Yet the government would sooner sow division than social cohesion.

      You can disagree with those of us not wanting these people here. You can challenge the evidence. But simply labelling someone a “racist” doesn’t make the underlying concern disappear.”

      Yes, that would be the resident the BBC choose to hi-light and interview.

      98% of the village are understandably worried at having a middle eastern / sub Saharan, 1250 males only, open prison right next to them, but “Rachel” is far more concerned about the mythical “far right”.

      She’s a typical virtue signalling, left-wing, know nothing. She’s so pathetic she’s almost a parody.

      Notice the article does not mention the fuel duty the government takes – 52.92p?

      Fuel duty in the UK is currently levied at a flat rate of 52.95 pence per litre for standard petrol and diesel, following a 1p rise implemented on September 1, 2026.

      The only good thing which can be associated with these ‘entertainers’, is that they get hold of vast amounts of money from gullible kids, and idiots, and their ‘parents’, and don’t become dependent on the state for handouts.

      I’d even forgive the bubble-gum kids bands, or the ridiculous rap rubbish, because there again, air-heads pay for their lifestyles, and we don’t have to.

      We also don’t have to listen to the dross they chuck out, because the ‘Off Switch’, or the ‘Alexa; STOP’ instruction is a way of life – esecially where the far-left bBC is mentioned!

      Dumb broad? No, I wouldn’t say so. She remembered all the key words and phrases she was told to regurgitate, and to produce the appropriate Pavlovian responses when prompted by VD about Danny Tommo and Tommy Robinson. Although in fairness, she probably believes this nonsense, as do a lot of troublesome women from the Colonies. She’ll go far.

      Next stage… in six months time there will be a follow-up Stockholm syndrome interview in which her or another deluded stooge will proclaim that their fears have proven unfounded and there really wasn’t anything to worry about. Yes, there have been a few incidents and sexual assaults but nothing that doesn’t happen elsewhere and we’d be quite happy if the government decides to expand the camp…

      P.S. I’ve seen several of these interviews, both sincere and staged, and they always talk about ‘fear’. But they never articulate the basis of that fear, as that would involve using words that begin with ‘M’ and ‘I’ and that would break the narrow airless slit which passes for the Overton window in liberal la-la land.

    “CAR CRASH INTERVIEW: ANDY BURNHAM DEFENDS DUMPING MIGRANTS IN EVERY TOWN BY CLAIMING RISK IS FAIRLY SPREAD!

    Watch Prime Minister Andy Burnham completely fall apart on camera trying to defend his chaotic border policies.

    Stammering, stuttering, and visibly terrified of his own words, Burnham actually tried to justify Operation Scatter by claiming that spreading unvetted arrivals across every single town in Great Britain makes it fair!

    Think about the sheer insult of that logic.

    His grand solution to local residents feeling unsafe on their own streets is not to stop the boats or deport illegal entrants, but to ensure that every single community in the country is forced to suffer the exact same risk!

    The only fair policy is not scattering thousands of unvetted men into quiet British villages and towns.
    The only fair policy for British taxpayers is detaining them and removing them from our country entirely.

    Burnham cannot govern, cannot answer basic questions, and is turning Great Britain into an administrative disaster. The mask has completely slipped.

    Watch this humiliating trainwreck and RT and SHARE everywhere to demand real border security NOW! 🇬🇧🔥”

    Re the post showing a Charles Dickens ‘of colour’ earlier…

    I went on a Sponsored Walk around the delightful town of Faversham, Kent yesterday. It’s a gorgeous place, and well worth a visit.

    It has a huge history, with telling yarns about King James, William and Mary, Michael Greenwood, (a grand mariner, shipwrecked off Morocco, and enslaved), and Thomas Arden, who got stabbed and killed by his missus, (who was bonking a bloke from Canterbury), and two ruffians, Black Mike and Shakebag, (or Loosebags), who were paid to knock him off, and tried several times, eventually bumping him off with a breadknife…

    Now…

    How would the bBC portray this story these days, as some or all of it was possibly written up in a play, by Shakespeare, Kyd or Marlowe, but having seen the above pic, I reckon I know the answer!

    One question I did ask the guide, was whether Dickens ever visited the place on his way to Bleak House, but the guide didn’t know. I guess that Charlie D. would have undoubtedly dropped in for a few pints of Shepherd Neame’s Best, or maybe a quart of Bishop’s Finger, (a Scrobs favourite), before getting back on the A2 for a few clip-clops in the landau down the coast to Broadstairs.

    But how would the awful bBC portray the story?

    Naaaah – wouldn’t watch it anyway…

    “As the fleet approaches the Suez Canal, Egyptian military forces fire a warning shot, causing the fleet to steer south, around the Cape of Good Hope. To the surprise of observers, the apartheid regime of South Africa floats out barges of food and supplies, which the migrants throw overboard. The international press is thrilled, believing the rejection of these supplies to be a political statement against the apartheid South African regime. Western leaders, confident the migrants will accept supplies from their “more virtuous” nations, organize a supply mission, funded by governments, charities, rock stars and major churches, to meet the migrants off São Tomé. However, the fleet does not stop for these barges either, and when a worker from the Pope’s barge attempts to board one of the ships, he is strangled and thrown overboard. The press attempts to contain coverage of the murder.”

    It’s pretty well established that the BBC has crushed local news papers and media despite the BBC telling us it is in fact the champion of such organisations.

    ‘Mirror publisher blames ‘expansionist BBC’ as it cuts 220 jobs’
    ‘The media group – which owns The Mirror, The Express and hundreds of regional titles – told staff on Tuesday that it was making the cuts across its newsrooms and closing Kent Live, Aberdeen Live and Galway Beo.

    David Higgerson, the chief content officer of Reach, told staff in an email that “an expansionist BBC” was putting the company under strain.

    “Locally, we continue to be challenged by an expansionist BBC, whose local output mirrors what is already being created by publishers up to 70pc of the time,” Mr Higgerson said.

    “These headwinds and others which also affect the whole industry mean that we need to make these changes while also reducing our overall costs.”’
