START THE WEEK OPEN THREAD….

Monday morning arrives and so does the latest BBC/Guardian nothing burger about the Royals using “tax havens”. Can’t wait for the BBC to cover the Guardian’s Cayman Islands tax haven. Utter garbage from the comrades to start their week of bias.

    Trump made a speech

    In Seoul, addressing the South Korean parliament largely about North Korea – see / hear it HERE

    The BBC ignores it and puts

    Kathy Griffin: ‘Not sorry’ for Trump photo

    on the front page.

    so the BBC’s priorities don’t stretch to diffusing an existential crisis that threatens potentially hundreds of thousands of lives on the Korean peninsula via conventional war, Japans cities within proven range of NorK missiles and potentially some bits of the US west coast (targeting tech permitting) – but Kathy effing Griffin gets a shout out ?

    I am simply beyond disgusted.

    If we could send all 21.000 staff on a 1 year sabbatical (paid) to North Korea – I’d buy a TV license (OK, I lie – I’d buy a pile of TV licenses)

    Ofcom upheld 2 bias claims against Fox before it removed itself from UK Sky
    #1 Tucker on the Manchester bomb
    #2 Hannity on Trump travel ban
    ‘Failed to provide alternative viewpoints’

    So Ofcom is fine with BBC/MSM routinely only giving the libmob line
    but cos Fox in viewpoint items only played clips of libmob whilst non-lib mob were in the studio
    they argue the libmob couldn’t answer back

      Tucker and Hannity are two shows I used to regularly watch via Sky platform.There is nothing wrong with those programmes ,only that they are digging into the criminality of Obama and Clintons time in office and support Trump.They are not offensive in any way.

      What a cheek that Offcom passed judgement on this two programmes ,surely outside their Re MIT.

      I hope Murdoch goes along with his threat to close Sky News.It is even wore than BBC in its Brexit bias.

        Elder Daught lived in London for years, but has at last returned to another village near here (T.Wells area), and now commutes. There’s an audible sigh of relaxation which permeates every train coming South after Tonbridge…

        I retired three years ago, haven’t been back to London since, and have vowed never to return. I suppose ghettos like Oldham used to have normal English citizens too, but they must be long gone.

        The choices one has to make because the noisy, shouty end of society, like crooked MPs, bent counciloors and especially the vitriolic BBC who promote that obnoxious pseudo-culture ‘diversity’, are often tinged with sadness, so Deborah, it has to be heading for tinctures in some of the best pubs and villages in Kent for a better life!

      Hi Taffman, there is a socialist dogma that the BBC continues to push – that the British taxpayer has to keep pumping ever increasing money into the NHS. The BBC is always demanding more taxpayers money for schools, for universities, for the police, for the NHS, for welfare, for refugees, for immigrants, for overseas aid, et cetera.

      There is no analysis by the BBC of the need to live within ones means or how the welfare state has grown beyond all means to pay for it and certainly beyond a size it was ever intended to be by its founders. Any savings Britain might have in pulling out of the EU has to go into paying off the enormous national debt in order to reduce the interest payable on it.

    Woman footballer Eni Aluko is shocked and disappointed that none of her England teammates have been in touch or supported her after her ‘bullying experience.’

    It is almost as if she derailed a highly successful team just to make a quick buck. Honestly – imagine if you were working wonders under Sir Alex Ferguson and someone accused him of bullying because he once spoke in a Jamaican accent and mentioned Ebola. I bet he was absolutely terrifying. So now they have some useless Scouse woman in charge and are losing, whereas their last match with Sampson was a record breaking 6-0 victory. I am not surprised none of her team mates talk to her – I would not have anything to do with someone who had ruined things like she has.

        Guest,
        This self proclaimed feeling of being ostracised is supposedly a form of bullying that needs only to be perceived by the ‘victim’, and is already a disciplinary matter, possibly leading to sacking, in the Northern Ireland Civil Service so I am sure that government employees in England can be treated or dealt with in the same way.
        Similarly if someone feels that colleagues are being intrusive, maybe by them being engaged in what others believe to be harmless water cooler chat, their perception of this as workplace bullying has to be disproven rather than proved.
        There is also guidance that states that workplace rules must be adhered to between colleagues when outside the office, for instance, in a pub after work.
        So what happens. Purely professional relationships, no comraderie, low morale, high turnover of staff resulting in poor service, lack of communication resulting in less transfer of knowledge and discontented ‘customers’, as, for example, benefit claimants have to be referred to as.
        What also happens though is that people simply stop talking to each other, no ideas are exchanged and the government and unions together create a compliant and docile workforce of robots.

    The BBC is in rampant mood this morning. The Government is about to collapse it is hinted and if not, it’s becoming possible . Tom Watson is asked if the Nonce Finder General and his Marxist boss are ready for Downing Street and to take over EU negotiations. Of course they are! Not queried by Nick Robinson . The EU governments are incredulous at how weak Theresa May is and are preparing for her fall. All confirmed by the BBC Europe ( read pro EU) Editor. She tells us we have three weeks to come up with more dosh for this Germanic protection racket or else trade deal talks are off until March at least. No discussion of the merits or otherwise of being blackmailed and the case for standing up to it , it’s just assumed the EU must be correct.

I really want to call their bluff. I know it’s a high stakes issue ( not a game ) but I think they have more to lose than us as huge numbers of people in Blighty work for the state and they sell more stuff to us than we to them – apart from foreign cars made in Blighty. In other words as I sure JRM would say – eff em.

          Kaiser,
          The BBC notice alright but they approve of it! They also know that sensible people would be horrified to learn of the extent of Corbyn’s treachery so they keep stum whilst preparing and moulding public opinion so that when the truth comes out it won’t provoke such hostility amongst the general public. I have no doubt that the BBC is preparing the ground on a range of issues to ready the public for the new communist era which they hope that Corbyn and his gang of Marxists will usher in.
          After Corbyn became Labour Leader it felt as though the corporation had their doubts about whether this was a good thing , primarily this was about if such an overt hard left politician could ever win an election. In effect their concern was , did Corbyn’s leadership lock the left out of power for years to come ? The GE result has allayed that concern and now the BBC is backing Corbyn to the hilt. I have no doubt that he has promised them unlimited funds to bombard us with leftist propaganda after his election. Getting rid of the Corbynistas will be tough and take years, even if they leave democratic institutions in place to enable free and fair elections , which they may well not do. The BBC will work long and hard to ensure that the British people are duped into believing they live in a socialist paradise, no lie will too great or too small to ensure this. We are living in the last days of a free country.

    BBC tweets are a good way of pinning BBC bad behaviour down, although I can understand why @JimS and BBC staff not wanting us to pay too much attention to them.
    This Rutherford tweet thing proves something
    He’s supposed to be R4’s Mr Science, yet he had to apologise twice in one day for tweeting Fakenews about Trump.
    He’s previously owned up to an error to me which was close to his own field of genetics and it’s not like I follow his every tweet.
    So that doesn’t signal a rigorous scientific mind to me.

    Other Beeboids have done similar got caught tweeting Fakenews about Trump (the ones that spring to mind are the Fake Putin conference photo, and the one where they claimed his translation earpiece was not with the Italian minister)
    We can spot similar things an almost daily basis.
    Seems to me that there is a problem with BBC internal culture, that it allows partisanship to rule over care for truth.

      You can pay as much attention to ‘BBC’ tweets as you like, there is a place for it and it’s called Twitter.

      What I object to is that this site, which is supposed to be about ‘BBC Bias’, you know the stuff that some people pay £145 p.a. for, the stuff that fills the TV, radio and internet channels, the stuff that is covered by ‘the charter’, the stuff that is ‘regulated’ by Ofcom, is being ‘spammed’ out by twitter guano. Maxicony must be jealous at what a good job you guys are doing!

      Screen after screen is being filled with what I presume the poster thinks are ‘slam dunk’, ‘gotcha!’ moments that look to us ordinary mortals as:

      Wol..
      Wol..
      Wol..

      What is the poster trying to say? Is it “Wolf!”? Where is the context, the facts, the analysis?

      Follow one of these links and the chances are that one is none the wiser. Is there a wolf? Perhaps there is, but it is in a zoo or a forest, so what? More likely it is just a shred of fur, a flash of an eye. When one is looking for wolves one sees them everywhere apparently.

      Are BBC presenters biased? Of course they are, aren’t we all?
      Does it matter? No, as long as it doesn’t stray into their charter-bound, regulated output, that then is the time to hunt them down.

    I put it to you that Greenpeace type people have infiltrated the BBC and use its resources for making political campaigning propaganda rather than use the resources of the well financed multinational eco charity itself

    Last week 5Live had an item about large amount of plastic found floating in the Caribbean
    They’ve used licence payer funds to make a twitter video*, yet it looks like a Greenpeace Hollywood piece rather than a proper news piece
    and now it’s just been put out by the general BBC Twitter account.
    * Remember 5-Live is a RADIO station so why’s it spending time making Holywood style videos ?
    (For a start the hurricanes may have played a part in plastic reaching the sea )


    and that’s not the only one . There are similar ones across 5 Live Twitter timeline at rate of 1 per/month

    ..I say that cos I have just listened to the dizzy art students prog “Hope Floats” A BBC World Service RADIO prog in the Tomorrow’s World strand

    Will the cities we live in become uninhabitable due to climate change, overpopulation and other factors that lie in our future?
    If so, should we be investing in floating cities now to solve this problem? What might they look and sound like?

    As ever they have made a VIDEO to promote the RADIO show
    It gives you an idea of how dizzy they are.
    The show waxes lyrical about hippies building floating cities ..and cities which will float in the atmosphere of Planet Venus.
    A no point do they mention that today’s cruise ships are like floating cities and that some pensioners live on them year round.

    Griffin continues to receive death threats and her comedy gigs in the US have been cancelled.

    As the Orwell theme continues … and so it should ….

    Murray holds out only one faint glimmer of hope. Throughout this history the great majority of ordinary Europeans, Brits in particular, were at every stage opposed to continuing high levels of immigration. They had to be deceived, repressed, and ignored in order for the policy to prevail as it did. They, in turn, have come to distrust and rebel against their deceivers; hence “populism.” As a further twist, their rulers have come to despise and even hate them as a recalcitrant obstacle to their own dreams of utopia and status. This class resentment downwards has been evident in Britain since the Brexit referendum in the open and bitter attacks by Remainers on both the poorer and less educated voters and on the idea of democracy itself. It’s repellent, but it’s also an unwilling tribute to the power of ordinary people in a democracy. As 1984 predicted,

        Al,
        Its sadly so true that our nation’s future hangs by a thread. If Corbyn is elected then even that thread will be cut. His Marxist anti British government will allow millions more third worlders into the country. It will give these people the vote. It will lower the voting age to 16. The immigrants will out breed the indigenous population by nearly three to one. All this will make it very difficult to ever elect a centre right Government again no matter how disasterous a dose of communism proves to be. Even the idiotic snowflakes may come to realise they have ruined their own lives and everybody elses . But it will be too late. It is very difficult to find anything at all to be optimistic about. I really do feel that our only hope is that there is a strong upsurge in the east of Europe and that this changes the equation opposite European attitudes to Islam. Left to ourselves we will be an Islamic republic sometime this century.

          Dt – When has a “centre right” government in the U.K. ever done anything to stop immigration or do anything to reverse or even mitigate the effects?

          The position the British are in is way beyond remedy by the election of such a party, were one to even exist, the current predicted one is: minority status in 50 years time and demographic doom after 120.

          How can our salvation lie in eastern Europe? And why should it?
          The eastern europeans have no loyalty to us or our nation. I agree that they will protect their countries (if they can) from Third World invasion but why would they feel the urge to protect ours?

          If anything they will view western european countries simply as areas to which the blacks and browns can be hurried onto, away from them, particularly when many of them will be well aware quite how feeble western governments are in relation to immigrants. This can be seen in what the Hungarians did when they sent Frau Merkel’s “refugees” onward to their invitress in Deutschland.

            A centre right Government i.e. Well to the right of the current one, would at least slow down our descent into the Islamic hell we are lurching towards right now, and we need time to save ourselves. My point about Eastern Europeans is that they can change the current UK political outlook by making resistance to Islamification respectable and viable. It is currently widely regarded in the UK as being neither of these and until that attitude is changed we will not even begin to address the problem. My view is that this change may come from the east, it will never come from within the UK until it is too late.

      Kaiser,
      The BBC notice alright but they approve of it! They also know that sensible people would be horrified to learn of the extent of Corbyn’s treachery so they keep stum whilst preparing and moulding public opinion so that when the truth comes out it won’t provoke such hostility amongst the general public. I have no doubt that the BBC is preparing the ground on a range of issues to ready the public for the new communist era which they hope that Corbyn and his gang of Marxists will usher in.
      After Corbyn became Labour Leader it felt as though the corporation had their doubts about whether this was a good thing , primarily this was about if such an overt hard left politician could ever win an election. In effect their concern was , did Corbyn’s leadership lock the left out of power for years to come ? The GE result has allayed that concern and now the BBC is backing Corbyn to the hilt. I have no doubt that he has promised them unlimited funds to bombard us with leftist propaganda after his election. Getting rid of the Corbynistas will be tough and take years, even if they leave democratic institutions in place to enable free and fair elections , which they may well not do. The BBC will work long and hard to ensure that the British people are duped into believing they live in a socialist paradise, no lie will too great or too small to ensure this. We are living in the last days of a free country.

    Drivers from the Aslef union have accepted a deal with Southern rail, bringing to an end an 18-month dispute.
    Members voted by 79.1% to accept the resolution which includes a five-year pay increase worth 28.5%. The dispute over safety came after Southern introduced driver-only operated (DOO), or driver-controlled operated (DCO) trains. The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, which is locked in the same row, described it as a “shoddy deal”

    Whilst the bBC is happy to refer to the above as a shoddy deal Here is what they aren’t telling you:
    The deal would take a driver’s base salary from £49,001 to £62,721 for the existing 35-hour, four-day week.

      Of course they have their own communication channels to get to the internet thru an outside country.
      Anyone could use their cellphone to call up a foreign number which has been set up as an internet gateway.
      ..and that’s not the only way.

      They`re obsessed by Trump aren`t they? With all roads leading to staying in the E.U or the railway sidings at Westerbork.

      No he does not lack guts…quite a chubby chap isn`t he?
      And so inarticulate. If you can`t even argue with some contrarian in a suit like Robert Spencer -then you`re really as thick and ahistorical as your accusers say. Being black seems not to even give Younge an advantage in this argument, they really need to be able to argue and not shout down. Hopeless white-baiting , paid for by us. FFS Thatcher-why did you EVER let Channel 4 set out to do this kind of thing?
