Category Archives: BBC bias

The BBC has gone all tabloid and been slagging off the royal family, as usual, all the while pretending it’s great art.

A play about the royal family in crisis and a constitutional problem.  And all in the best possible taste.

The Spectator’s take on the play on the stage?…….Charles III is made for numbskulls by numbskulls.

Written in Shakespearean verse but brought right up to date as the BBC has now replaced Harry’s white girlfriend with a black one….oh, and of course it’s the ‘orrible Press that’s looking to ‘attack’ the Royals...and not the honourable, respectable, BBC…

Meanwhile, an unhappy and frustrated Prince Harry starts a relationship with a ‘commoner’, just at the moment that the press is looking for a way to attack.

Here’s the BBC’s original casting in 2015…

The new ethnically diverse one…

The play reopens the question of who Prince Harry’s father is…

‘Is Charles really your dad?’ BBC is accused of inflicting ‘deliberate pain’ with ‘salacious’ paternity slur against Prince Harry in controversial TV show

His girlfriend asks him: ‘Is Charles really your dad? Or was it the other one?’

Noticing his ‘very ginger’ hair, she adds: ‘Cos if Hewlitt [sic] was your dad instead, you would be out the family.’

The fictional Harry remains silent, while one of his friends corrects Jess on the name, pointing out that it is Hewitt.

…..and brings on a ghost of Princess Diana…despite one of the actors admitting that…

For Charles or William or Harry it would be agonising to watch. That upsets me. But I don’t think we’ve done anything unreasonable or cruel.’

So ‘agonising’ but not ‘unreasonable or cruel’?

Curious timing as only a couple of weeks ago the BBC was headling, and indeed working with the Royals, on mental health issues…in particular about Harry’s mental issues surrounding his mother’s death…

Prince Harry ‘in total chaos’ over mother Diana’s death

Prince Harry has revealed he sought counselling after spending nearly 20 years “not thinking” about the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, he said it was not until his late 20s that he processed the grief – after two years of “total chaos” and coming close to a “complete breakdown”.

“I have probably been very close to a complete breakdown on numerous occasions when all sorts of grief and all sorts of lies and misconceptions and everything are coming to you from every angle.”

Perfect timing then for the BBC to broadcast this play now…presumably good therapy for little ‘arry.

The BBC’s helicopter doorstepping and salacious intrusion into Cliff Richard’s life also illustrates how the evermore tabloid BBC is dropping into the gutter in the search for sensation and easy headlines…but it is complaining vociferously about the bill as Cliff surrounds himself with the best legal brains money can buy….and it ain’t cheap….the BBC doesn’t like it one bit…though they weren’t so shy about spending hundreds of thousands to keep the Balen Report out of the public eye [does BBC news kill Jews?]…

BBC attacks Sir Cliff Richard’s ‘grossly unreasonable’ spending on lawyers in his fight for damages against them

BBC bosses say Sir Cliff Richard has spent “grossly unreasonable” amounts on lawyers after complaining about reports naming him as a suspected sex offender and taking legal action.

They say figures show the singer has already run up legal costs of more than £800,000 which are “on any view … disproportionate”.

Lawyers representing the BBC made the criticism as a judge analysed the latest stage of the dispute at a High Court hearing in London on Thursday.

If Sir Cliff’s claim succeeds, and he wins damages, the BBC could be ordered to pick up all his lawyers’ bills.

The BBC peddling fake and scandalous, not to mention extremely ‘agonising’, tales about a living Royal and does the same for the music world’s ‘royalty’…whatever next, the BBC making up an entirely ficticious claim that a Lord was a child abuser?  Oh…they’ve already been there and done that.

The BBC.  The Gold Standard.  My arse.

The BBC has been reporting loudly on UKIP’s fall today, contrast that with how they practically ignored UKIP when they won large in elections previously, and curiously the LibDems have hardly been mentioned today.  This is curious because, whilst UKIP’s fall could easily have been predicted and was much expected, Farron has been telling us that the LibDems are on the march and due to the army of unhappy Remain voters looking for a white knight to protect them from all those horrible little englanders would win large, but there’s no sign of such a revival…in fact the LibDems lost 32 seats.  But the BBC don’t seem too interested….in this main write up it’s passed over rapidly and in Kuenssberg’s ‘analysis’ I don’t think the LibDems even get a mention….oh no sorry…this is it, Laura’s insight into the LibDem debacle.…‘a slightly frazzled atmosphere at Lib Dem homes this morning’.

When you consider how arrogant and contemptuous of democracy and Leave voters Farron is, a failure to pull the voters in might be expected.  Farron was very dismissive of callers on  a radio phone-in who complained of his characterisation of Leave voters as not knowing what they were voting for and that his call for a 2nd referendum was undemocratic as he was really attempting to stop Brexit…he laughed and sneered and said he was the real democrat…you can see that attitude in full colour in his latest bit of public relations as he smirks and bullies his way through an encounter…an encounter in which he said he knew what was good for the kids…as you can see in the photo above….

Nothing to do with BBC bias but come on, it’s the Diabolical Dabbler Diane Abbott..she’s done it again and fluffed her numbers…is she going for the sympathy vote?……

Hmmmmmmmm…leeeeeettttt mmmeeee thinkkkk….

Two fingers to the lot of you!!!!!

Here you go, the weekend appraoches but the BIAS never stops! Detail the most egregious instances of it here!

The BBC is claiming Cambridge University is failing black male students…

Of 3,449 students accepted into Cambridge during the 2015/2016 academic year, 38 defined themselves as black, a proportion of just over 1%. This figure did not include any students who defined themselves on their application as mixed race.

Er….BME students make up 25.3% of all students and around 37% of post-graduate students…oh the racism at Cambridge…..

Students from a BME background comprised 21.9% of home undergraduate applicants, 20.1% of all offers and 20.0% of all students who accepted a place in 2015-16

And what of that ‘3,449 students accepted into Cambridge’...only 1%, 38, are black male……er what about the actual total figure of 1,143 being BME…33.7%?……not such a ‘racist’ picture after all……

In 2015-16 applications were received from 7,664 White and 7,927 BME students (49% and 51% respectively). Of those who accepted offers from the University, 1,143 were BME and 2,247 were White (33.7% BME).

The BBC continues to propagandise on behalf of immigration and to denigrate those who want to control it as ignorant, racist little Englanders.  In a remarkably patronising and arrogant, not to mention unpleasant, snide little piece on R4 Simon Barnes uses Sport to attack ‘nationalism’…we hear we must erase borders, erase nationality….the voice of nationalism is getting louder and it’s so unnecessary.

Barnes tells us that he was never happier than when we ‘got rid of the Brits’ in a competition so that he could concentrate of the beauty of the sport…..kind of sums up the BBC attitude….the trouble with Britain is that it is full of nasty, hideously white Brits…let’s get rid of them so we can celebrate diversity, cheap plumbers and baristos who work for a pittance so we can sup on ZHC subsidised cappuccinos as we, elegantly and effortlessly cosmopolitan, pose in our ‘continental’ pavement cafés.

She was making plain her fury in fresh air, in front of the black door to No 10 that is a symbol of British government. 

You could hardly stage-manage more clearly the difference between the European Commission’s sneaky secrecy and Britain’s open, sovereign democracy (and how the Eurocrats hate and fear that!).

Quentin Letts

It is abundantly clear what the EU and its minions are up to as they launch attack after attack on May and the British negotiating position…clear to everyone except it seems the BBC which expresses shock and surprise that May has accused the EU of hostility and of attempting to manipulate and interfere in the outcome of the election…..the EU would like nothing better than a weak, irresolute and incompetent Corbyn at the helm or failing that a LibDem rump providing an awkward squad to make Brexit all but impossible.

The BBC went into overdrive running cover for Clinton filling the airwaves with accusations of Russian interference in ‘American democracy’ and the of peddling ‘fake news’, the BBC intent of course to put Hilary in the driving seat and now, as the BBC continues with that narrative having failed to get their preferred candidate elected, to unseat Trump.

Contrast that pious outrage with the almost complete lack of interest in an attempted coup against our own country by another foreign ‘government’, the unelected EU, as it works to undermine British democracy and attempts to put its own collaborators in place…the BBC actually providing so much useful help as it peddles the EU message whilst attacking May relentlessly.

All this should serve to underline why the undemocratic and increasingly tyrannical EU should be destroyed and replaced with a co-operative, non-political union of willing countries that serves to unite nations in purpose but not in a political or financial superstate that the EU has become intent on crushing all dissent and imposing its will upon those sovereign states….a monster out of control.

You just have to look at the BBC’s Kuenssberg’s ‘analysis’ of what May said this afternoon to realise that the EU is not the only enemy May has to contend with.  Even the title of Kuenssberg’s piece gives the game away as she claims May is  ‘Upping the ante’.

Curiously Kuenssberg hasn’t thought that it was the EU which had been ‘upping the ante’ with its torrent of hostile briefings, so often to the BBC direct, and its spreading of misinformation and alarmist black propaganda…also aided by the Remain supporting FT which seems to delight in coming up with increasingly ridiculous figures for ‘reparations’ to be paid to the EU by Britain.

Kuenssberg sets out from the start to try and undermine May claiming she has done a u-turn and is engaged in ‘megaphone dipomacy’….no thought that perhaps May is right and the EU has been launching hostile attacks on Britain?

This morning, the chancellor and the Brexit secretary said the noises off out of Brussels and suggestions of an exit bill of 100bn euros were only “manoeuvring” and that the UK would not be pulled into “megaphone diplomacy”.

By 15:30, the prime minister was standing at a lectern in Downing Street accusing some in Brussels of trying deliberately to interfere in the election, to make trouble for her politically at home, and of wanting the Brexit talks to fail.

Kuenssberg then expresses shock at the PM’s words and tries to suggest they are not only unmerited but a deceptive political ploy by May rather than a genuine insight into EU manipulation and corruption of our democracy…it’s not ‘quite some statement’, not ‘quite an accusation’….the statement and accusation were bang on and absolutely jusitifed as nearly all other commentators, BBC aside, believe…..not Kuenssberg though….

Forget that nuance for a moment – this was quite some statement, quite an accusation to make. It seems the prime minister is intent on playing the Brexit card for all it’s worth in the next election.

It’s no coincidence that the Tories want every UKIP voter to turn to them, no coincidence that many Labour seats were Out areas in the referendum, no small matter that in 71 Labour constituencies, the UKIP vote was bigger than the size of the eventual majority.

It’s all just a tactic says Kuenssberg…May doesn’t really mean it…and those poor old Brussel’s bureaucrats, once again the innocent targets of fake news and anti-EU spin…

British prime ministers taking public aim at “Brussels bureaucrats” is hardly an original tactic from the playbook.

And do not, for one second, be surprised if come 9 June, IF Theresa May is back in power, her language starts to sound rather more conciliatory.

And of course it is May who has gone ‘full throttle’ and is thus out of control and over the top….not the EU who started the war of words and the gunboat diplomacy then?…..

But words like this cannot be unsaid. What is perhaps more surprising is that Theresa May has gone full throttle at such an early stage in this election, and in a situation where the polls put her as the clear frontrunner.

Kuenssberg should leave the analysis to those with insight and understanding of events, stick to facts not making it up as you go along.  The BBC was desperately accusing the Russians of manufacturing fake news to change the course of the US election and yet here the BBC is engaged in exactly the same behaviour that it deplored on behalf of Clinton as it peddles the EU’s fake news in order to undermine Britain and Britain’s future success and prosperity.  The BBC working to betray us to the EU.

Lord Hall Hall…lock him up!

I’ll be on holiday when you read this – in a place where I assuredly will not be watching the BBC! Anyway for those less fortunate this is where YOU detail the bias!

The PM is battling for Britain

The BBC is battling for the EU

We are at war with the EU…it’s a war of words, of propaganda, of soundbite diplomacy, but it’s still a very real war with very real consequences…a war that the BBC has chosen sides on, and it’s not the British side.  Lord Hall Hall lost the Referendum vote and he doesn’t intend to lose again, intending no doubt to hand a recalcitrant Britain over to the EU to be dismembered and neutered so that it can never again rebel against the Regime….the Telegraph tells us that the EU’s ‘briefings’ are ‘worthy of a Kremlin propaganda operation.’...the BBC?  Reports it all as fact.

Lord Hall Hall’s BBC is the enemy within working for the EU against British interests.  A simple illustration is how the BBC’s anti-May rhetoric is being used by the enemy, and the EU is the ‘enemy’ seeking as it does to attack, undermine and destroy British interests…the BBC has across the board been mocking May for the use of the phrase ‘strong and stable’ to describe her leadership and government, hardly an hour goes by when a BBC journalist doesn’t disparage that phrase in a way that they don’t for Corbyn’s continual stance of ‘the many against the few’ which he did in fact steal directly from Blair’s 1997 campaign.  The Eurocrats have picked up on the BBC anti-May narrative and are using it to attack May…as the Mail reports..

EU chief TAUNTS Theresa May over ‘strong and stable’ election slogan

The Telegraph reports...Germany ‘interfering in General Election in attempt to undermine Theresa May’, an interpretation of events which is undeniable and blatantly obvious and yet the BBC barely registers such a significant fact of a foreign power tryng to undermine and interfere in British democracy instead reporting every leaked [often directly to the BBC] bit of misinformation and black propaganda from EU sources as gospel whereas anything from the British is scorned and doubted…the BBC tryng to  make the British look intransigent and foolishly ignorant about the ‘EU’ and its workings, living in a delusional La La Land.

There’s this report from the BBC that recognises there is spin going on, and yet, and yet, it gives more credence to the EU spin…there might be spin but ‘That said’….

These tough-sounding comments are at least as much aimed at their domestic audience as at the British government.

That said, a high-level EU source has confirmed to me that feelings were running pretty high following the Downing Street dinner due to what he described as a huge “asymmetry of expectations” and a “completely different reading” of the Brexit situation at No 10.

He said the British government, from their comments about negotiations, clearly had “no good understanding of the fundamentals” around which he said the EU was united, and which would now not be undone.

Ah yes, whatever the EU says must be true.

Over and again, EU diplomats insist this is no “us against them” situation; that there’s no desire to punish Britain and that a good Brexit is in everyone’s interest.

“It’s in our mutual interest to correct all the misunderstandings,” I was told today. My source was confident that Downing Street was beginning to realise that now too.

Yes…The BBC is helpfully aiding and abetting the EU to re-educate the British and correct all their misunderstandings abut Brexit….amazing how they report everything the EU ‘sources’ say as if all true….despite the fact that there is very definitely an ‘us against them’ scenario and the EU are out to punish Britain and is working to destroy Brexit and interfere in the election..you’d never know if you listened to the BBC.

Look at this main BBC report, it’s entirely negative for May, it even misleads readers on a quote attributing it to May as if she said it herself in her leadership election campaign and is now ‘reviving’ it, the wording intended to make it a negative for her….

Theresa May says she will be a “bloody difficult woman” towards European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker during Brexit talks.

The PM revived a line used during her Tory leadership campaign to respond to claims the two clashed over dinner.

It’s only later we are told that it was in fact the other ‘enemy within’, arch- Remainer Ken Clarke, who said that about May.

Then the BBC peddles more EU propaganda.  May has always wanted to get the question of expats settled…the EU has always refused to do so and yet the BBC has been reporting the EU’s latest words claiming they want to settle the matter as if it is May who is being intransigent and difficult….

She also declined to commit to settling the issue of expats’ rights by June.

Hang on, isn’t it May who wanted to settle by June and the EU who is refusing to do so?

Then there’s this..

Opposition parties have accused the Tories of pursuing a “hard Brexit” strategy, with the PM insisting no deal is better than a bad one and planning to withdraw the UK from the EU single market.

The phrasing of that is intended to indicate that a ‘hard Brexit’ is a bad thing, and then there’s this about Osborne…no indication that he is a hard-line Remainer and that he is using the Standard as his own personal propaganda sheet….note his use of the phrase ‘blank cheque’…a standard Remain phrase that comes out of the mouth of Farron usually…no sneering from the BBC about the ‘reviving’ and constant reuse of that old chestnut then?…..

The first edition of the London Evening Standard published under the editorship of ex-chancellor George Osborne was headlined “Brussels twists knife on Brexit”, with an editorial warning the PM against seeking a “blank cheque” from the EU.

And the Kuenssberg assessment?  Here she tries to make out that May is stupidly uncompromising and is refusing to listen…that’s entirely Kuenssberg’s own interpretation and implication, and of course a negative one….

Theresa May’s comment is revealing about her strength, and also her weakness. No political leader wants to be seen to be pushed around…….Refusing to be pushed around is one thing, refusing to show any sign of compromise or listen quite another.

Both Kuenssberg and Nick Robinson are fairly hopeless as political journalists making increasingly fact free comments and ‘analsyses’ that bare little resemblance to what is actually happening…this morning Robinson told us that May was scared of debating and was afraid to meet the public…never mind that she was out on the streets knocking on doors in Scotland, not the most Tory friendly place, and that she has called an election….so hardly afraid of being challenged.  That was just an out and out lie by Robinson.

Lord Hall Hall is peddling Berlin’s propaganda.  Sack him.  Lock him up.

£3.6 Billion Fund Lists in London Despite Brexit

Given how the slightest hint of a bad news story from the City is seized upon by certain elements of the media, it’s interesting that this one has gone under the radar. 

US billionaire Bill Ackman’s £3.6 billion fund Pershing Square Holdings, which initially listed in Amsterdam some years ago, has listed on the London Stock Exchange today. The move clearly reinforces London’s attractiveness to international fund managers despite the doom and gloom from Remainers.

Haha – EVEN the BBC couldn’t save Diane Abbott from making a complete fool of herself today on the topic of Police numbers. I caught her on the Today programme early this morning where she sounded evasive but John Humphyrs did not quite nail her down. Over on LBC, Nick Ferrari did – and here is the video of it. It’s wonderful to listen to.

But then, when you thought it could get no worse, she popped up on the BBC’s Daily Politics and Jo Coburn got stuck into her, a delight. Not often I enjoy the BBC but Abbott has just provided an epic moment of political incompetence.
