The President of Turkey, apparently, is paying Blighty a visit. I wonder what spin al beeb puts on it ? Plenty to vex us as always. Enjoy,.
Quangos like the Electoral Commission and OFCOM and others are now shelters ,or other sources of income, for ex Beeboids and other liberals looking for a gong. If we cannot depend on them for independent adjudication then what is to be done? The bias keeps coming . Welcome to the weekend….
Grotesque – adjective – ‘comically or repulsively ugly or distorted ‘ Listening to highly paid broadcasters talking about Iran, young criminal groups, prosecuting members of the British security forces – all live subjects at the moment made me search for the BBCs attitude . ‘Grotesque’ was the word which came up – as well as ‘disbelief’ .
