    Ah yes, the nazis, the first time it’s kind of funny, the Millionth time, a bit tiresome. When will we get over the war and the nazis and start talking about something else, like Stalin’s crimes, for instance.

    By keeping the nazi narrative alive, we’re doing the Lefts work for them, they love smearing anyone, as nazis, like those marxist thugs in Edinburgh screaming nazi, racist, scum at Nigel Farage.

    Ps. ”John Cleese, when he made the famous German episode of Fawlty Towers, he explained “Everybody thinks that was a joke about the Germans but they missed it. It was a joke about English attitudes to the war and the fact that some people were still hanging on to that rubbish.”

    Angela Merkel is not a nazi, she was brought up in East Germany and joined the youth wing of the Communist party.

      Angela Merkel is not a Nazi of course, but she was/is most certainly a Communist. What is the difference exactly? As far as I can see, the two ideologies are much the same, although Communism murdered more people than the Nazis.

    Alan, on 17 May you said, “Albaman…you haven’t got the hang of this site yet…it’s called BBC Bias”. If that is the case then perhaps you can edit the above post in order to explain its connection with bias at the BBC.

    On the same day Dysgwr_Cymraeg commented (about me): “He denies it, but the bbc employs him and people like him to discredit blogs like this.” Why would the BBC need to pay anyone to discredit this blog when its “preferred commentator” is doing such a fine job all by himself.

        It’s the trolls’ repeated cache-clearing so that they can bump up their likes that is discrediting, but not to this site.

      Quite right (sorry, Alan, he does have a point – though I doubt you offering him a full refund in parting ways will be embraced).
      So maybe you should be offered editorial privileges given your consistent commitment to raising and discussing BBC bias only?

      Having raised the requirement, even as a poster, can we now hold you to the sole parameter you demand?
      Glorious day out. Be interesting to see what volume you manage even when the sun is out. The bunker can be hard to leave once embedded.
      ps: it would have been so much more effective a counter (‘discrediting a blog’ by scoring a debate counter with one author is an interesting ambition and perception of impact) without the final, petty snark.

        Oops. Bit of overlap.
        To clarify. The point on lack of BBC bias is valid.
        As is yours on how a Sunday sidebar ‘discredits’ anything.
        Personally I find such broadening of scope isn’t worth the compromise to the core aim, but your site to populate as you will. Easy to ignore and pass over if a distraction, like a Jonnie Marbles ‘report’ served up by Newsnight. Well, a few did ask why we need to pay for such indulgences.
        Again, on matters precedent, one looks forward to Albaman sharing the results of his complaints with equal if not more egregious straying by the BBC and its staff from objective commitment to the task required of it.

    Lovely day out, but dinner making duties call, otherwise I’d be enjoying as much more of the sun with the family as I still can.
    And popping back I find the day has produced a predictable crop from no less than Albaman, Scott, Colditz and Tyler in full ‘discredit to the site’ (I think this is the new sound bite they’ve all been told to use) tag team mode, with a fair old whack of defensive hole digging thrown in.
    It’s a Sunday so they can’t be at work (unless the budget covers weekend shifts), but the last time Albaman was camped here he claimed the weather was inclement to explain his pervasive presence. Must be a corner of the UK that always has dark clouds above it. Explains much.
    I now also learn I was suckered. Make that suckered…too.
    Seemed an odd one, but maybe I should have figured that when I was agreeing with Albaman on one point.
    It did not appear initially to be anything to do with BBC bias.
    But as it transpires it was plenty to do with the BBC, bias, and the uniquely selective ways DOTIs choose to conduct themselves.
    No time to check the explanatory new thread properly, but a cursory glance suggests a suitcase went boom in the bunker and the hive is in the highest of high dudgeon, and saying a lot still to match how they already look.
    One to savour cold.

      Sorry, but enough is enough.

      You really do spout some crap and to be honest most of it is pretty incomprehensible.

      For the last time:
      I do not work for the BBC.
      I have never worked for the BBC.
      What I do with my free time is up to me.
      I do not work with or collude with any other person posting on this site.

        Being honest is good.
        But saying you are being does not make it so, or anything else.
        Your other comments are noted.
        It would seem you are unsettled.
        And, rather illogically, by things that you claim to be incomprehensible.
        This must make most in life a challenge for you.
        As to enough being enough, anywhere outside of BBC control, this may be rather empty a statement.
        You post, rain or shine, ‘in your free time’, in one place, on a site dedicated to examples of BBC bias, with the sole aim of taking issue with… anything, no matter what. If it’s up to you, it is a feat of dedication for sure.
        Often it is highly personal, directed at ‘preferred commentators’. Your choice.
        But on being held to account for such obsession, you appear to feel that you should be left alone to spout like a cracked septic tank.
        No apologies but, good luck with that.

    That’s a yes then.
