Over to you . Vote Reform

Reform has published its ‘ contract . ( previously known as a manifesto ) . The contract includes an end the the BBC licence Tax. As so many respond to it on twitter ‘what’s not to like ‘ . So tell your family – friends – pets … VOTE REFORM

Monday marks the publication of the Reform Party Contract – they refuse to call it a manifesto because manifestos mean nothing . We can be sure the BBC will classify it as ‘unapproved ‘ so it will get the full ‘anti’ treatment from the anti British BBC . You can already hear the sneers – particularly as the Far Left BBC is getting worried about the sheer popularity of Reform . Let’s see.

No one in Alma al-Shaab has been killed is what the BBC tell us today, which is rather odd as a Reuters journalist was killed there in October.

Does the BBC trust Hamas more than Reuters? If the BBC can’t even get it right with regard to one highly publicised death, can we trust the statistics they throw around…

A central policy of the Labour party is the proposed Great British Energy Company. This policy is especially important to Scotland, and will be an important factor in any future plans for Scottish independence.

Why then does the BBC employ Jennifer McKiernan and allow her to report on Labour and their energy policy when she has openly supported Scottish independence?

What does Nigel Farage really want?

This headline implies that he is not being honest with voters about what he wants. The real problem with the article is that Laura K fails to quote Farage. She certainly does tell us a great deal about what his Conservative rivals think of him and what they have to say. Unsurprisingly, the chickens do not like the fox.

And hello Euros – take that knee – the anaesthesia of footy wafts over the nation …

More than one MP has been murdered in recent years. Now Jeremy Quin has been targeted with a bomb hoax. The Guardian and Telegraph both report this story, but the BBC has not done so. Bomb hoaxes and threats like this are of course an act of terrorism, and we are in the middle of an election campaign. Why is this incident ignored?

There are many articles about bots influencing elections on the BBC News website. This has been a constant theme for several years now, and a genuine concern which the BBC rightly highlights.

Bot or not: Are fake accounts swaying voters towards Reform UK? The bias and cherrypicking in this most recent article is obvious and barely worth mentioning, given that such nonsense is what we all expect of the BBC.

No the real question today is, why do almost all the top comments on BBC articles about UK politics have a pro-Labour slant? Of course the party is ahead in the polls, but the top comments usually receive a ratio of at least 2/3 thumbs up and only 1/3 thumbs down. How can this be the case when Labour are only polling at approx 40%?

The first explanation would be if there are pro-Labour bots manipulating the voting. The second would be if left wing people are more likely to visit and comment on the BBC news website. Both of these are enormous problems.

Are bots being used to manipulate which comments appear first in BBC articles? What have the BBC done to combat the use of bots on their own platform? If tech giants such as Facebook, Reddit and so on are struggling to deal with bots then why would the BBC website be any less vulnerable? The BBC boasts of being one of the most visited news sites in the world so why would it not be targeted?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is a thorn in the flesh of our democracy. We will cut it out.
