In these dark days, where we have to worry about “possible Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum“, perhaps we should look at other votes too?
Mo Farah has won the Sports Personality award. Did Russia try to exert influence on the vote in order to subvert democracy?
Well just look at this damning evidence. Suspicious Kremlin linked Twitter bot accounts have posted many tweets about Mo Farah. Perhaps we should have a second referendum Sports Personality Vote? Also, where’s our £350m?

You may have noticed, as we’ve pointed out, that the BBC refuses to mention the fact that the Iranians arrested Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe because of her work at the BBC’s Media Action. The Chair of which is still the BBC’s new head of news Fran Unsworth.
Will the BBC’s serious omission of dodging this inconvenient truth so as not to implicate the BBC in Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s plight be corrected now that we have someone who is so closely linked to the case? Doubt it somehow….and don’t expect the BBC’s coverage of the EU to change either….Media Action received £9 million to peddle EU propaganda.
“Its work has absolutely no bearing on the BBC’s editorial decisions. The BBC’s editorial remit is to deliver fair, balanced and impartial coverage and we are satisfied that our coverage of the European Union does just that.”
This week the Centre for Policy Studies published a report claiming to have found a left of centre bias in the BBC’s online reporting of think tanks. They also claim right of centre think tanks are more likely to receive health warnings than their left of centre counterparts.
The CPS itself is hardly impartial on the BBC – it argues for a smaller BBC and campaigns against the licence fee.
BBC News provides impartial and independent coverage to a quarter of a billion people across the world.
Fran Unsworth
A new day, a new head of news, the same old bias ala the Today show.
List it all here……
Our mission continues to be to provide information that can be trusted around the world. It’s a great liberal aim in the best sense: a public service.
Liberal?
Can you learn anything about someone from the people they are friends with?
New BBC Head of News Fran Unsworth (top left) is pictured here in 1986 at the wedding of Jane Wells (bottom right), alongside Lise Mayer (bottom left).
Jane Wells is the daughter of Sidney Bernstein ‘the dominant influence on the growth and development of commercial television in Britain’ and is the founder of 3 Generations, ‘a non-profit organization that documents stories of human rights abuses through film’ and their output is just the sort of social justice propaganda you’d expect.
Lise Mayer is the co-creator and writer of BBC sitcom The Young Ones and her sister is Catherine Mayer, co-founder of the Women’s Equality Party.
Two prime examples of the liberal elite, and both life long friends of our Fran (even today they are all Facebook friends). Does it tell us anything about her? Maybe. You decide.
BBC appoints Fran Unsworth as next head of news
What do we know about about her?
Not much. She has a very small public profile and has worked at the BBC her whole career.
Here’s one interesting titbit.
Fran Unsworth – “Fortunately my parents were very non-gender specific.”
Your guess is as good as mine, but it certainly sounds a lot like the type of rhetoric we hear from certain activists. The rest of the video talks about *cough* diversity *cough*. Make your own minds up on this one. Perhaps she thinks unbiased reporting is very important despite her strong left wing views…let’s see…
Is it game over for Brexit?
Rebel MPs have defeated the government in a vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill – the bill that’ll take the UK out of the EU.
But Esther Webber (@estwebber) tells us why it’s not quite game over for Brexit.
BBC wishful thinking.
The BBC’s Rachel Burden, as do most BBC presenters, tried to push the notion that more and more people are against Brexit and certainly don’t want a ‘hard Brexit’…ie Brexit. She stated that not only Remainers were against it but that there are many Leave voters who didn’t vote for all that is happening. Naturally she didn’t mention that many Remain voters wanted less EU but voted to remain anyway…or that such a way of looking at things is a nonsense as she, and the BBC, don’t parse the voting after a general election and say ‘Well 4 million people voted for UKIP therefore the government must do what UKIP wants’ or that ‘Not all those who voted for the Tory government voted for every policy…therefore let’s have Labour running the government’. The BBC doesn’t say that one party only got 52% therefore the party with 48% are the real winners as they do with Brexit [although of course Corbyn thinks he won the election…presumably going on figures supplied by the D’Abbottacus]. No sign from the BBC that the vote by the British people to leave the EU is being betrayed by the people elected to supposedly do their bidding. Perhaps we need a clean out of Parliament of those who refuse to do their job properly…never mind the expenses scandal what about the democracy scandal?…the complete betrayal and contemptuous disregard for the democratic vote….backed of course by the EU’s propaganda mouthpiece in Britain…the BBC.
A poll released today should disabuse those in the BBC such as Burden….it shows nearly everyone wants to just get on with Brexit and do not want to see it abandoned as the BBC works towards trying to facilitate….
Just 12 Per Cent of Brits Would Abandon Brexit
Just 12 per cent of British voters want the government to “abandon Brexit completely” and keep the UK locked inside the European Union (EU), a new poll has revealed.
Even among those who voted to remain in the bloc, the proportion committed to blocking Brexit were a minority, with just 29 per cent wishing to abandon the divorce, according to the survey of 1,680 adults taken on the 10th and 11th of this month by YouGov.
In fact, in none of the demographic or political groupings surveyed did a majority want the Brexit vote “abandoned completely”.
Former UKIP leader and Member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage ironically urged opponents of Brexit to “look away” as he shared the poll results on social media.
Other options presented to respondents included “the government should continue with Brexit on its current negotiating terms,” with 45 per cent agreeing.
Ten per cent said “the government should reconsider its aims in Brexit negotiation, and seek a ‘softer’ Brexit” and 19 per cent thought leaders “should offer a second referendum to see if Britain still wants to go ahead with Brexit.”
**your regular twitter reality check**
% who want to abandon Brexit completely:
nationally: 15%
middle/upper class: 19%
18-24 yr olds: 21%
London: 21%
Labour: 24%
Remainers: 29%
Lib Dems: 37%YouGov, Dec 10-11

The BBC whines constantly that the DUP are disproportionately influential due to their alliance with the Tories. Of course this is because the DUP in the main supports Brexit. The BBC shows no such distaste for a small group of Tory rebels who betray their country and party and ally themselves to the Marxists of Labour in order to appease their foreign masters in the EU. The BBC was also not concerned that the LibDems had too much influence in the coalition, nor that the SNP abused their position to malignly influence events in Parliament even on purely English matters. Only the DUP gets the BBC’s thumbs down.
BBC bias…it’s out there…list it all here…..
Katty Kay, always worth a watch. Today she reported on Republican Roy Moore and looked like someone had just shoved a pineapple up her backside and she was desperately trying not to let on as she tried to control the pained surprise with tightly shut eyes, puffed out cheeks, a strangely immobile face, speaking through a mouth shut tight giving us her impression of a white person acting as an ‘inscrutable Oriental’.
After having done the obligatory pronouncement that Moore is basically guilty of historic sex abuse and then the obligatory link to Trump and the implication that he is also guilty of such things Kay then delved deeper to try and damn Moore for his personal opinions…he thinks homosexuality should be made illegal and that Muslims who refuse to accept the US constitution should not be allowed to serve in Congress.
A curious paradox…she, and her BBC anchor, railed against Moore and defended Muslims and yet most Muslims would have the same view on homosexuality as Moore….and of course see the Koran as a higher authority than any man-made law…such as the US constitution…so there is a question over where their loyalty would lie if it was a question of compromising their Islamic beliefs in order to comply with the Constitution. You can see that same conflict here as even ‘moderate’ Muslims say they will of course comply with British law…as long as it doesn’t conflict with their beliefs. The BBC of course saw little of concern when Tim Farron was pressured to leave the LibDem leadership due to being a religious ‘extremist’…or a Christian. If he’d been Muslim?
