I have been live tweeting BBC Question Time for some years now. However last night, I gave up in disgust after about half an hour. The BIAS against the election of Donald Trump was incredible. A panel was selected – four women and one man (no transgenders though) that was plainly there to put the boot into Trump. Yvette Cooper kept blurting out “misogynistic” as if she had Tourettes. A shouty Clinton supporter Sarah Churchill was almost crying as reality damned. The utterly execrable Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh was allowed to make outrageous allegations against the President Elect. Dominic Raab was subdued in his support for Trump and the token Republican on the panel, Jan Halper-Hayes, is on record opposing Trump. The audience were even worse.
This was the BBC having a hissy fit but using their broadcasting power to force us all to watch it. This programme had no balance – it was a hate fest. And for the first time ever, I turned it off.
The BBC is still reeling from Brexit and NOW…Trump. They are unhinged.
Yep, it’s that BBC diversity again aka the United Colours of Liberal, and all 72 genders, but no one who might conceivably have voted for Brexit.
Did anyone on QT ask if Yvette Cooper had made good on her promise to take in a rapefugee family into one of her taxpayer funded homes? Maybe she heard about the Afghan male who got let off by a judge in Germany after raping a 10 year old boy in a swimming pool and thought better of it. The stench of her hypocrisy is the stench of the BBC in general and the treasonous elite who run its pro-immigration propaganda machine. There’s a chapter devoted to the BBC’s role in policing thought crime in “2030: Your Children’s Future in Islamic Britain” which everyone should read.
I noticed that Mrs Balls’ has lost that wimpy whiney voice and was more strident last night. It’s all the same bollox mind you, but it struck me that she is limbering up for another stab at the leadership.
(Helped by being the BBC’s political family of choice – look out for her smiling face in the Strictly audience again this Saturday)
“she is limbering up for another stab at the leadership.”
She surely is, if only because the Balls family have seen a considerable fall in income, so much so that Oxford grad Ed is resorting to dancing to earn a crust.
It rather demeans Tina Turner to mention her in the same post as Ed Balls, but……the next step in Ed’s descent
I never watch QT live now, just on i player so I can fast forward through the bias.
Bill – It doesn’t take you long to watch it then – about 30 seconds at a guess!
Legal requirements prevent even that here.
Luckily Youtube edits of 10″ usually suffice.
Good idea that. It would have saved about half an hour of listening to that ratbag Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh’s ignorant drivel.
That’s what happens when you don’t discipline children and let them grow up thinking they will always get their way and everyone loves them and agrees with them all the time.
I stopped watching it years ago because of the bussed in hand picked left wing audience, majority left wing panel and left wing presenter. Its scandalous that I have to pay for my TV licence fee to support this totally biased programme and corporation. Incidentally the highest number of viewers ever to watch Question Time was years ago when Nick Griffin was on the panel, deduce from that what you will. I understand audiences watching QT have continued to reduce over the past decade.
I listened to the radio 4 news at 7.00 am this morning and they harped on about disgruntled voters protesting about Trumps democratic victory. They did not say they were the same intelligent, intellectual protestors that voted for Clinton, did they. Surly intelligent and intellectual voters don’t do this sort of thing.
I am sure ordinary people watching the BBC are beginning to see through these continual misleading and contradictory reports, unfortunately the BBC don’t seem to take any notice of complaints and make it ever more difficult to complain and get redress. I was hoping that Mrs May would sort them out once and for all, but I won’t be holding my breath.
My understanding of the new incitement Laws in Britain and America are, if you admit to voting for (1) Brexit in Britain, or (2) Trump in the US. And this fact makes a Remainer or Democrat turn violent. Then you can be arrested and convicted of inciting violence.
So despite initial findings that Trump voters where more intelligent than Clinton voters, until the mainstream media produced findings that seemed to imply that Blacks and Poor people are better educated than Whites and Rich people. Brexit and Trump are two heavy defeats for Liberal Fascism, but the ideology of “No Platform” or “The Debate is over” would probably need a Civil War to defeat.
I was thinking of people who could debate with anyone from Hitler to Stalin, people who could politely and unemotionally present awkward and challenging questions to anyone, even if they thought they may be a mad mass murderer. So we have Michael Parkinson, Jimmy Young, Robin Day, David Frost and George Galloway.
Ten reasons why Snowflakes do not like debate:
(1) The speaker will incite Snowflakes to turn violent.
(2) Assumes that the speaker will say something that could kill a Snowflake with a Heart attack.
(3) The debate is over as the Snowflake agrees with the assumed Consensus on the issue.
(4) Snowflake insists that the speaker has nothing to debate.
(5) Hatred of the speaker because the Snowflake assumes they may speak of hatred, not hope.
(6) They hoped that Clinton would win, but they now hate people who voted for Trump.
(7) They hoped that Remain would win, but they now hate people who voted for Brexit.
(8) They Love Clintons “Hope not Hate” Atheists, but hate Trumps “Love not Hate” Christians.
(9) Snowflakes assume that they are always correct, as no one has ever dared to disagree to whatever they have said.
(10) The need to expand safe spaces.
You wouldn’t read that type of “Pro-Brexit Bus” Satire in Private Eye
At least Newsnight was a lot better…
https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/last-nights-newsnight.html?
And now… outdoes itself yet again…
The turd O’Brien asked a guest if ‘Brother Bernie could have beat Trump’. You could not make this shit up. The person he was speaking to was black. Does that qualify as racism – patronising a black guest by ‘speaking on their level’?
______________
Complaint made – live by the sword, die by the sword:
James O’Brien referred to Bernie Saunders as ‘Brother Bernie’ during an interview. I consider this to be a racist comment. O’Brien was interviewing a black gentleman and appeared to pause and then deliberately choose the word ‘brother’. This was clearly an attempt to ‘speak on the black man’s level’ and was incredibly patronising. The guest had given entirely rational and considered answers to O’Brien’s questions and clearly wasn’t O’Brien’s intellectual inferior.
I found this inherent racism to be highly offensive and I object to being subjected to this wholly inappropriate use of language during a supposedly serious news programme.
Of course, the reference to Mr Saunders as ‘Brother Bernie’ is also completely at odds with the BBC’s commitment to impartiality.
Forgive me for forgetting the name of the Tory MP on Any Questions , but I’d love to see his face if James O Brien called him Bruv .
Athe bBC has been reporting that Muslims have been attacked in America, but nothing about white people
That was indeed one of the worst QTs ever.
The BBC managed to find three women who hated Trump, a Republican woman who didn’t like Trump, and a Conservative MP who looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up.
I was particularly amused that the doddery Dimbleby pretended he had not known that the Republican lady was not a Trump supporter. Really? He doesn’t know who is appearing on his show? I wonder how much effort the BBC put in to finding a Repubican who actually supported Trump?
As for the other three harpies, all they could screech was that Trump was a racist, a sexist and an islamophobe. Yet he was elected President of the USA, so where does that get them? They lack the intellecual capacity to wonder why he would have been elected if any of these insults were actually true. They have no insight, their views are half-baked and worthless.
A special mention must be given to the muslim SNP woman. She hates Trump and wishes to exclude him from Scotland. Now it just so happens that the mother of the next President of the United States was born in Scotland, Trump loves Scotland, and has invested millions of pounds in businesses in Scotland. Is it just possible that a rational SNP member would reach out the hand of friendship to the most powerful man in the world, who happens to be half Scottish and loves their country? Would that help Scotland going forward? Might it encourage American companies to invest in Scotland and American tourists to visit Scotland?
It’s a rhetorical question of course. Scottish National Socialism cannot bear anyone who has any sort of differing opinion. They have decided Trump is a racist, sexist and an islamophobe. End of story. They would rather insult and traduce the leader of the free world than admit they were wrong. They, like all leftists, will never, ever, stop for even one second to consider the vital question: why were we wrong?
In their minds, they can never be wrong, it is the American people who were wrong. I think I know who is going to win that argument. What a closed minded, irrational and hate filled shower they truly are.
An observation from Guido’s last night. A statement from Krankie which Dimbleby didn’t bother to challenge the SNP’er on. This is what Mrs Krankie had to say regarding Trump;
‘….this morning Ms Sturgeon was forced to climb down on her outspoken views (on Trump).
She issued a lengthy statement which said: “While this is not the outcome I hoped for, it is the verdict of the American people and we must respect it. I congratulate president-elect Trump on winning the election.
“We value our relationship with the United States and its people. The ties that bind Scotland and the US – of family, culture and business – are deep and longstanding…’
Dimbleby could also have asked why the SNP respect some voting outcomes and not others. But silence prevailed. He is not up to the job any more…or its more evidence of his bias is shining through.
Sorry No.88 I must have missed it. At what point was he up to the job?
You’ll have to forgive Dimblbore, he still hasn’t grown out of his teenage rebellion against his father who was British and a gentleman to the core. Mind you, young Dimblbore might one day reach a tenth of his father’s broadcasting abilities but I very much doubt it.
On the other hand sharing the £12m proceeds of the sale of daddy’s local Surrey and area newspaper empire cushions a chap, and his younger brother, from the old hurly-burly.
“Herald” perchance?
Quite right Rob – a nauseating programme, filmed in Southend of all places which is a UKIP stronghold and probably quite sympathetic to Donald!
Usual ghastly BBC-approved screeching harpies – people need to tell these women how astoundingly unattractive they are when they squawk like demented seagulls. Their days of all-conquering dominance are coming to an end. This was a critical culture war which Brexit/Trump supporters won. The days of the Liberal Elite are numbered. Even the BBC will not be immune to this change for ever. I look forward to hearing the voices of white working class men on the station? Not immediately of course. Pigs might fly. But then again…?
Forget “white working class men”.
It would be quite reassuring to here an indigenous accent – preferably without an Hijab included.
Just working class and no other delineations would worry the leftards .
“I was particularly amused that the doddery Dimbleby pretended he had not known that the Republican lady was not a Trump supporter. Really? He doesn’t know who is appearing on his show?”
To be honest Dimbleby is so complacent and up his own arse, that it would not surprise me if he does his show on the hoof, leaving all the groundwork to minions. And what is this past his sell by date presenter paid I wonder?
Without a doubt, BBCQT this week reached an all time low for not having a balanced panel; adding to their totally biased coverage of the US election. It was such a immense pleasure to see Trump win and to then savor the stunned disbelief of their reporters (not journalists).
The BBC I believe deliberately misreported the key elements of the US election pushing their ‘left’ / ‘common purpose’ agenda, sneering at anything pro Trump. I made a complaint by phone to them pointing out the huge Trump crowds, the importance of the various email leaks, Huma’s background, Pedesta, project veritas etc to say this story is being misreported. Trump was pulling in crowds of 10’s of thousand a day, he worked really hard, there was at worst a 50-50 chance of Trump winning. In fact I betted on him to win, then regretted not paying the tax up front; so infrequently I bet that betting tax has now been abolished!
Let us not forget that the BBC is created by a Royal Charter. To quote from https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/royal-charters/chartered-bodies/
“This last consideration is important, since once incorporated by Royal Charter a body surrenders significant aspects of the control of its internal affairs to the Privy Council. Amendments to Charters can be made only with the agreement of The Queen in Council, and amendments to the body’s by-laws require the approval of the Council (though not normally of Her Majesty). This effectively means a significant degree of Government regulation of the affairs of the body, and the Privy Council will therefore wish to be satisfied that such regulation accords with public policy.”
So just how independent is the BBC?
It must be time for the BBC to be closed down. Not only would that give the UK public freedom from extortion by the BBC but would also stop the destabilization of the world by groups such as media action- but that’s another story.
The BBC are their own worst enemy. They’re left wing bias is creating their own downfall and they are too unbelievably stupid to see it. It is they who have created a nationwide mistrust of themselves and the ‘establishment’.
It is increasingly evident that the people no longer trust the BBC ‘lefty’ narrative. The fact that it has a narrative at all suggests a lack of balance and demonstrates partiality in its reporting. Only a fool or a liar would consider the BBC not to be politically left wing adjunct of the Labour Party.
For instance the BBC sat on the rapes and molestation’s occurring in Rotherham and other in othe British towns and cities inflicted on children as young as 11 years of age, for fear of upsetting the Pakistani immigrant populace and Islam, fear of being labelled a racist organisation. The BBC failed to show a lack of condemnation of the British Gymnastic Board in their banning of Louis Smith, failed to report the Cologne rapes, failed to show any sense of balance in the US election, failed to show impartiality when covering the EU referendum, the list goes on and on.
The consequences.
So then, is it any wonder that the people then find their news sources from other sources like the internet, Russia Today, Al Jazeera, and others.
The problem with doing this, as I see it, is that some of these sources have their own, often inaccurate agendas which can mislead us from the true facts.
The sad thing is, is that the BBC is no better or worse than these other sources when they should be above personal political bias.If only they told the truth and relied only on facts, they would be considered respectable and trustworthy throughout the world, and therein justify better its very own existence. People would not have to go to unreliable sources to find the truth.
I’ll say it once again, it is the BBC who are largely responsible for the people’s mistrust in the ‘establishment’ of which they are a substantial part. Politicians need an honest BBC but do nothing about it. By implication of their inactivity, they in turn are seen as complicit in supporting the level of misinformation to its people. This mistrust of not reporting the facts in an accurate manner, extends further right through the to the police, the councils and social services.
The BBC has lost its credibility in terms of truthfulness, objectivity and impartiality.In so doing they have promoted fringe outlets as news mediums.
It could all be so different if only the BBC did what it was meant to and be impartial and less deceitful.
This government should be doing something about this but doesn’t. Shame on them.
There needs to be a national debate on the damage the BBC is inflicting on this country, ironically the very people who need the debate the most in order to regain the trust of the people, namely the politicians, are the very people who seem to be most recalcitrant on this front. They clearly think that programmes like we saw last night, Question Time is perfectly balanced and impartial. Sack the Culture minister immediately.
She obviously doesn’t watch political programmes. She is an embarrassment to the Tory party.
“The BBC are their own worst enemy.”
To quote Ernie Bevin about Herbert Morrison:
“Not while I’m alive!”
The most awful truth of what you say Wronged is that the prostitution of the BBC, much of the associated MSM, the police, the education system and much, if not all, of political and civil service infrastructure is not a coincidence.
The single fact that a succession of ‘culture secretaries’ have done nothing to redress such glaring and continuous affronts to democracy is all the proof needed. It transcends shame.
Politicisation (prostitution) of the police (the other Blair and others – e.g. the ACPO), the MSM (Mandelson – London Weekend TV), the education system (NUT), the political and civil service infrastructure (Anthony Lynton Blair).
The BBC needed no manipulation!
I sincerely hope this country is heading for it’s Trump moment.
Well all I know is that Whittingdale knew of a revolt of his fellow Mensa members over its strange Climate science censorship policy, but only those around him tried in vane to get him to do something. Now I am told we have a Judicial Review being prepared for when the BBC Trust fobs off a group of scientists who have complained.
We need the press to coordinate a mass boycott of the Licence Fee, to overwhelm the Magistrates Courts and force the Tories to decriminalise non-payment, and then threaten the BBC with total financial and editorial independence by abolishing the Licence fee and the Charter obligations to be impartial. This would confuse the “No Interference” lefty Lovies, as they would expect the very opposite.
bbc question time makes me too angry. i can’t cope.the thing that angers me most is that sort of underlying idea that a vote for clinton is of course the natural way things should have gone. it all feels like ‘normal people do vote for clinton’ or ‘the annointed woman hillary clinton’. nobody mentioned the fact that the present state of america is all obama’s doing.
I’ve just had a long chat on the phone with an old friend. Small c conservative, voted Remain because he doesn’t like change…anyway he said ‘Didn’t you mention something about BBC bias?’ I said yes. He then went into quite a long diatribe about the BBC, saying he’d noticed so much bias in the US elections, but wasn’t sure if it was just him so he wanted to speak to me about it. I wonder if there are others like this, who don’t go online much, who realise something is wrong with the BBC but think they may be imagining it?
it was in my outrage at qt that i headed to google that lead to here and many other places, once your eyes have been opened you cant shut them again.
qt did me a favour with their bullshit
Heh, similar here, after an overload of R4 tosh one day, I thought to myself, it can’t just be me, there must be others. Typed in BBC bias and Lo and Behold…,
felt a bit slow on the uptake actually once I realised how many more were out there and how long they had been there.
Me also. Venom against white middle classes on Radio 1, the f**king pop station of all places. Anger plus Google then led me to this safe haven.
Sounds like Deja Vu all over again.
My history on this site goes back many years, I forget the trigger – probably something to do with Harrabin, the unqualified scientist!!!!
Likewise – great to know there are so many other great people out there. A privilege to be on this site.
Ben
Let’s watch our government take action about this BLATENT BIAS?
They are aware of it .
It’s odd isn’t it? I ‘woke up’ not so long ago and now find the BBC bias sickening. Anyone up for conducting some kind of content analysis on the BBC’s coverage of Brexit and the US Presidential Elections in respect of bias? I need a bit of help with going about this.
I used to see the BBC as a bastion of objectivity but now realise I’ve been a fool. I don’t pay a licence fee (I’m not breaking the law, I no longer watch it even on ‘catch up’) and skimmed through this Question Time on Youtube. Such a stitch up job.
Still, although it’s comforting to be amongst like-minded people here, we have to get the message out to those that are still slumbering. Any ideas on that?
Yes, I think the BBC has completely blown their cover with the blatant bias over Brexit and now the US election. Once you see it, as more and more now do, then it’s obvious in every and I mean every aspect of the BBC’s output. It’s not sustainable. There will be change one way or another.
I don’t long for an impartial broadcaster – that may indeed be impossible. But it could be balanced.
Anyway, the Beeb’s output has turned me away and into the delights of this site, Fox News, RT, Infowars, etc., etc..
Would be shocked if there werent!
The UK has banned US talk show host Michael Savage from travelling to our shores. Perhaps nice Mr Trump can give the BBC staff the same treatment. This would have the added bonus of saving licence payers money.
Oo, precedent. Tricky thing if not thought through, eh, Ms. May?
Limbaugh – that would just be too delicious for words!
Go Trump!
😀
Of course, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller have been banned for years. It’s particularly ironic about Spencer as his thought-crime is an in-depth knowledge of the Koran.
Geert Wilders from the Netherlands is also banned.
Something I advised my MP long ago that his leader did, and would not be forgotten or forgiven as patronising sanctimony is uttered about free speech and democracy
The MSM are wilfully blind to the fact that they are their own worst enemy. They have spun facts, misrepresented opinions and told downright lies in order to promote a culturally Marxist agenda. They really do think people are stupid, but when these stupid folk don’t swallow their nonsense they find it completely incomprehensible. In their mind it can’t possibly be anything wrong with the message so they just keep repeating it over and over. But the more they repeat it, the less people trust them and the more they kick back against it. So the MSM become even more perplexed and redouble their efforts to sell the same old drivel. Its a vicious cycle but eventually something will have to give.
Wasn’t it Einstein who defined insanity as repeating the same action over and over again hoping it will have a different result? I think MSM should listen and learn.
Didn’t Dimblebore ask Pixie Balls if she disliked all misogynists, even if they were muslims?
Worst question time since the Nick Griffin one all those years ago.
What an awful gobby bird that blonde was. Sarah churchwell or something.
How on earth can the BBC keep getting away with this blatant, in your face, bias.
We really need a neutral news station because sky is just as bad.
Wouldn’t it be enlightening being told the news, all of it, without it being manipulated, hidden or omitted so that it follows the hard left political agenda of the BBC (and sky)
There’s an opening there for an entrepreneur, a ‘truthful’ news station. How novel.
‘Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.’
Theodore Dalrymple
I think that point was reached with the “Syrian child refugees” from Calais. Clearly obvious that they were African men. But the lie was just shouted at us even louder.
Solzhenitsyn never wavered in his belief that to bring lies into the world is to begin to destroy it and us. The MSM and the BBC are doing exactly that and for this greatest of crimes will one day have to account. In the end this always happens.
We should not seek reform but an end to them all. Trump’s election is a turning point for the West. Ignore the liberal elites and take heart that in this marvellous year twice we, the derided and deplorable, have asserted our right to decide our lives and our future.
From now on those who are not with us are against us. That is all we need to know.
Hence Waycist appearing to be the winning station in “Mornington Crescent”.
‘There’s an opening there for an entrepreneur, a ‘truthful’ news station. How novel.’
Emanuel Goldstein, pre election result, Trump did suggest an interest in this sort of thing.
God knows we do need some sort of BBC counter balance.
Could it be crowd sourced?
Maybe start on the internet via local citizen journalism, then seek a broadcasting licence. The snag is that as presently constituted, the Licensing body insists on radio stations being ‘distinctively different’ and as soon as someone turns up offering to be a ‘news station’, the BBC will object and say “We do that. How are you different and distinctive?”
The answer to the BBC and the Licensing Body is that it would be different because it wasn’t going to parrot the same Leftist PC propaganda that the BBC, and others of that ilk, force down the public’s throats on a daily basis.
Not long ago I would have suggested Richard Branson to set up a new tv channel, but it seems he has got the bias too?
He now considers himself to be one of the elite, how did that happen? Possibly at Bliar’s Triumph party in 1997. Things are only get better!
Did he have the recording rights to D-ream?

Interesting OP. I went on a MSM blackout since Sunday and haven’t returned. In fact I’ve also deactivated facebook and twitter.
President elect Trump needs our ongoing positivity and support. To do that, we have to completely detach from these people, their toxicity and infantility.
I too have largely avoided the MSM up til and including Nov 8th.
Inclined now to keep away until Jan 21st…but there`s so many funny bits that I`m drawn back.
Will pick the most rabid anti Trump Hour over the weekend and settle for that.
Now will that be B.H or Womans Hour Omnibus?
One would imagine that the female in this video works for BBC America..
It wouldn’t surprise me if they did an anti Trump themed “Strictly come dancing”
Here’s an interview clip of Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, SNP MP, talking a lot more sense than she did on Question Time last night:

No thanks.
I endured QT last night. I really thought I was watching a very poor episode of ‘loose women’ with the amount of venom against Trump and a lack of informed debate. But that’s me – a misogynist, chauvinistic twat.
How very dare you call yourself a twat! That’s gender appropriation dontchaknow!!
I can only agree with other comments here. Its probably only in the last year or so that I have come to fully understand how incredibly neo-liberal the bbc agenda is. The point is, once you have grasped this concept you see it across their entire news output; all of the time. You can even see their attempts to create news stories or shape the political agenda: note ‘michelle obama for 2020 election’ high on coverage on 9th Nov?
It’s mot even the confined to the news output these days, we were getting anti Brexit/ Trump comments on Simon Mayo and Steve Wright to mention just two progs who used to be impartial.
It’s not just across the BBC News but all their programmes. I just caught the end of The Graham Norton Show where he interviewed Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber had a platform to give his personal opinion on Trump’s ability to be President. Of course his opinion of Trump was negative.
You missed the chap from Coldplay putting Norton’s nose out of joint at the start by pointing out that the ignored of America had been given a voice. Brave man.
He won’t be invited back.
Thanks for that. So rare aren’t they – the pro-Brexit or pro-Trump celebrity?
Notice how anything that Al Beeb does not like, it labels ‘divisive’ or ‘controversial’. Just look how it promotes the ‘so called’ intellectual and educated young people with degrees in the USA ‘throwing their toys out of the pram’ and trashing the place they live in. Never had a job, never paid for anything, spoilt brats who think the world owes them a living.
Make them pay for the damage they do and watch them ‘cry a river’ .
Nick Abbot (LBC) doing his utmost to dig out bits of old dried up dirt on both Trump and even his dad!
Abbot truly foaming at the mouth ranting about Trump sneering at callers and cutting them off. Not many seem to be calling and not surprising since who wants to talk to this playground bully?
The way I look at all this foaming and vitriol is that the American voters made the correct choice and the more the left whine the more I luxuriate in their pain.
I don’t watch question time ,but I can only imagine . It makes them feel good but they still cannot change things and that makes me feel GREAT ,!
I will say however that the BBC should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for their hysterical coverage of a legally and democratically elected leader of a friendly country. Of course when you are swilling in tax payers money shame goes out the window.No accountability.
Question Time stinks. Its a heads they win and tails you lose situation every time. With a totally unrepresentative audience and usually 85% left wing panel, plus left wing bias presenter what chance has a panel member who represents the majority of voters got to give his opinion without being interrupted, wrong footed or shouted down. Only very occasionally is there someone in the audience that speaks for the majority, who must have slipped through the BBC filter system, whose comments are not acted upon but either totally ignored or the presenter moves quickly to another question. Slight of hand. Fortunately we can see some of these rare instances on YouTube and other web sources.
Gone are the days when one switches on radio 4 news to hear what’s going on in Britain and around the world. Instead its the news according to the BBC, a cherry picking of many irrelevant and bias news items that they decide are of upmost importance and you should listen to them. Unfortunately we have little choice other than switch off, because Sky and ITV are very similar, they certainly have a common theme. There is only RT that is different and reports some very interesting and different issues, but we must remember its paid for by Russia and they will certainly not be critical of their own country or leader.
The liberal left have hijacked the BBC, this has been done covertly over a number of years and I cannot see it changing in the short term.
I used to listen to R4 all the time … it used to be interesting. I never turn it on these days except from 6am to 6.30am when I get up.
I only have Freeview but I can get Sky News on it and I watch that as I just cannot stomach the BBC 24 Hours propaganda. The only political BBC I watch is when Andrew Neill is on but I always record it first so I can fast forward if the nauseating creeps Fallon and Clegg are on.
Question Time … you must be joking!! I can’t take that much stress. Have to say though Sky News is almost as bad … and I hate the adverts …. How come I have to pay to **not** watch the BBC?
Just another observation … I have been on holiday in the Lakes for the last week … bad move! Only news programme was BBC (and no internet access) so I have had to sit through all the blatant bias against Trump. I went to bed at 12 midnight on the 8th as it was all … Hillary this and Hillary that … and the polls said she was already in the White House. Got up in the morning and Trump was POTUS elect!!! Then I had to sit through watching a totally unprofessional black BBC journalist called Clive Myrie spitting absolute bile and venom at me. Glaring at the camera as if he hated me a thousand times over .. sighing and groaning … why are these people paid by us to be so damned vile? The man needs sacking!! Do you think it’s worthwhile me writing to complain?
I’m tempted to suggest that a more effective strategy would be to complain to Donald Trump. The BBC’s complaints system is deliberately run to obfuscate and deny viewers any redress and even if the million to one bet came off and you got an apology, that is all you would get – an apology, following which they would carry on doing the same thing.
The BBC needs to be pulled up hard and as the British government is too packed with Left wing sympathisers to do it, then a very public refusal to treat it as a professional news organisation by the most powerful government on the planet might finally awaken our own supine regulators, Parliament, to the way the BBC has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Left.
oldcrone
Forget complaining, the BBC’s stock answer to my complaints was ‘we believe we are right…’ just don’t watch it any more. Fox news isn’t bad plus they have some really pretty leggy women presenters!
email tony.hall@bbc.co.uk and many others they will have the same format and make a direct complaint and copy to your MP anyone I just have. Bye the bye Clintons wearing purple after the result – George Soros ofcourse – American purple revolution – he will be funding the riots as well I suppose.

If the BBC was not used as a free advertising agency for NGO’s and special interest groups (eg focussing on Calais Immigrants, ProjectFearBrexit, ProjectSmearTrump) then money would have been used more effectively
Financial costs of crimes
In addition to costs of crime victims, come costs to every person via the UK economy. Like the entire cost of green ENERGY subsidies, additional network costs and inefficiencies due to banning the proper challenging of Green Religion on the BBC.
The cost of delaying the fracking revolution.
+ Excess winter fuel deaths due to pensioners not using heating enough cos of extra cost.
Additional crimes
Presiding over excessive London-centralism
+ I wonder if he promotes his pet arts projects and friends over other more deserving things.
+ Costs of pseudo diversity and virtue signalling, rather than true blind diversity of people and thought.
Good things : Yes sure the BBC does things that helps catch criminals and progresses justice, but that would have happened under a DG who did enforce the charter rules. Failing to enforce charter, has negatives only.
Forget QT. Watched Newsnight Friday on BBC2 then switched to HIGNFY for the most vile programme masquerading as comedy I’ve ever seen. An hour long BBC lefty fest.
I seem to remember the abominable Bonnie Greer appearing on BBC Question Time and making a very confident assertion that, “Donald Trump will NOT become President of the USA”. This drew loud and sustained applause from the audience, who had been specially selected since Nick Griffin was on the same panel.
But as a favoured member of the BBC herd, this conceited, tiresome and talentless cow will no doubt reappear on a Question Time panel soon.
There is no possible justification for the talentless Ms Greer ever to have been on any BBC programme. Other, of course, than that she is a black American woman with an ego the size of the planet. And that’s all the justification the Marxists at the BBC need.
Hitchens Sunday article today is particularly nasty.. and I have told him so.
