High Summer . The bubble is away or writing columns about failed air travel. But the BBC carries on showing its bias . Perhaps it gets a bit easier for us because the interns are in charge ….

Jim is happy because the BBC fixed it as Jim likes.
ha ha…all backed up by impeccable Islamic science.
He cant be very intelligent himself. He is certainty not known to be a Mensa member. The BBC needs to put out all its Global warming hot house stories today, because it looks unlikely we will have another day as hot as today, before Xmas.
Also the use of the term “denier” implies he has a low IQ, and therefore unable to define what is being denied. Global Warming is being denied because of the pause/hiatus/peak, but Climate always changes, so is not being denied. Also Summer is not being denied and the heatwave is not being denied, although it will be denied tomorrow.
As for denial of man-made Climate Change, this is because it has been proven to be a hoax by a scientific paper written by Gerhard Gerlich in 2009 called “Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics“. A Mensa member wrote “BBC Censorship” and complained to the morons at the BBC about this.
Science isn’t by consensus you fool, it’s by empirical data.
Just because two people agreed that the Earth was flat, didn’t mean that it was.
I also love the way this chump is dismissing ‘balance’ as if that’s something for silly children.
Don’t you just love the traitors within the BBC:
https://www.christian.org.uk/news/andrew-marr-compares-oscar-wilde-jesus/?e030818
Note the sarcastic comments by marr near the bottom of the piece.
vesnadog,
I see Christians have been admonished in advance and denied the luxury of being ‘offended’ then mocked.
In the interest of balance I would like to see the same attitude extended toward Muslims.
Unbelievable. The hypocrisy and cowardice of these scumbags knows no bounds.
Marr is more likely to have to face Jesus in judgment very soon, if that stroke of his is any indicator.
Would hate to be in his slippers if he doesn`t realise soon t that Jesus won`t be judging him by his watercolours or his Bash St kid impressions of Plug.
Hell`s no fun Marr! And Wilde is in heaven anyway, so you`ll not be able to kiss his ring anyway.
Awwww… sweet, and look who they are ‘exploring’ with…
I see their rings are different.
There’s a reason for that, only one can play wide receiver.
Does this guy look white to you? Possibly EE but not clear.

I was looking at the SLP in relation to the fire and tragic loss of a child’s life there. My Nan lived on Adolphus Street and I spent a lot of time there in the late 50’s/60’s.
See there R4 that Climate change has temporarily nudged Brexit
aside……….all that was missing from the dire warnings was Dj WEBB at his his priest like best , at our graveside…having suffered death by being boiled.
Al beeb going big on the Indonesian earthquake with imams praying and mosques knocked down. Even the second most read. Perhaps al beeb should be the ‘Muslim broadcasting corporation . ‘
Those who seek to revise history are doomed to mockery…
Reports now that members of the police force are under so much pressure financially that they are having to take second jobs to survive, and some are resorting to food banks.
(So THATS why there is an explosion of nail bars on the High St !!)
Seriously ? well, don’t members of the fire service moonlight ? they certainly did back in the 70’s, and food banks ?? really ? perhaps they meet up with the medical staff in the NHS who have to resort to free food as well.
During the report, no mention was made of the really excellent pensions that are forthcoming on retirement when reaching their mid 50’s. I know of one DCI (female) who retired on full pension when she just turned 50, and continues to work in a major department store !
Brissles,
“Reports now that members of the police force are under so much pressure financially that they are having to take second jobs to survive, and some are resorting to food banks.” Same as nurses apparently. What the BBC could investigate is, are other members of the ‘public service’ (i.e. Firemen) in the same position.
Sackur doing the usual BBC/Guardian stunt of misquoting Jordan Peterson. Peterson appears to correct Sackur for falsehoods after every question, until this wonderful brief exchange near the end …
Sackur making a tit of himself …
Sackur, “I’m no expert …”
Peterson, “yeh, but I am.”
And Sackur just continues his deceitful interruptions as if this delightful response wasnt spoken.
Listened to Bernard Jenkin on yesterdays “Today”.
He ought to be flattered.
Robinson had his BBC “Reality Check” monkey to set up the interview, and kept him on standby , should he be needed later-like a fire extinguisher. Chris Morris by name, citing those he`d already rang around like the CBI, Big Pharma, and Tescos dahlia importing buyer.
And, case that was not enough?
They split Jenkins interview with a Labour MP who he was not told about.
AND we had the usual Robinson endless talkovers and niggling red herrings to drown out what Jenkin was attempting to say. What a range of opposing voices-and just for one relatively minor MP!
Reminded me of a polystyrene sarcophagus a la Chernobyl-Brexit seems now to require three opponents and a pre-post holdover to prevent the radiation.
Jenkin ought to be pleased. Would Peterson require three people to take him on as Jenkin did?
Got to be an index here.
BBC’s aims and aspirations? Same as the NWO and its agent, the EU. How is the BBC being rewarded though?
Thanks for the linkage scrib – the slander about being ‘thin skinned ‘ was also batted away without any comment from slimy Sackur .
BBC Today
‘Record number of police officers moonlighting for extra cash’
Shadow Home Secretary causes total solar eclipse, sorry I misspoke, she moans.
“More than one in nine (11.8%) said they never or almost never had enough money to cover all of their essentials, rising from 11% last year”
Plus more moans, from the Federation. Yes that Federation, the one that systematically lied about Plebgate and tried to bring down the elected Government.
I have no doubt that the great majority of lower ranking police officers are still doing a difficult job to the best of their ability, whilst being hamstrung and thwarted by their “superiors”. I thank them.
Senior officers, all lefty traitors, endangering the public by political policing, or political non-policing. Rape abetters, which is a crime. Best move them to where they can do no harm.
Edit. Apologies to BRISSLES August 7, 2018 at 10:48 am, above on the same subject.
LastChanceSaloon,
I’ve looked up the starting basic salary for a newly qualified policeman.
In England and Wales it is between £19,971 and over £23,000. In Scotland it is quite a lot more.
I suspect different areas pay different rates.
Maybe there are extra living allowances for places like London.
The absolute minimum of £19,971 (about 4 times the pension regarded as enough for me to live on) is more than enough so when they say they need to use food banks (like nurses and firemen) I say they are telling lies.
Use of online pay-to-watch TV surges ahead
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45096610
The use of commercial video streaming services has surged ahead in Great Britain, according to official figures.
Close to half of all adults said they had watched Netflix, Now TV, Amazon Prime Video or a similar internet-based service over the past three months.
That compares to less than a third of respondents in 2016, the last time the figure was given.
The article lists the percentage rise of on demand TV watching, up from 29% in 2016, but unfortunately it doesn’t report the decline of people watching BBC.
Even though the BBC will become a couple of un-watched expensive TV channels I bet there will be a big rise in the TV license soon “to help fund the BBC to compete in a changing market”.
Remainers propaganda
Guardian report s gleeful NFU report that this time next year if there is a full Brexit we won’t have enough food to feed the population .
I’m sure the first thing farmers do in the morning is wake up and say “ EU subsidy” . Perhaps their gravy train is coming to an end ? Albeeb will love thins one .
Well if there is a food shortage in the UK it must be handled in the traditional British manner.
First come, first served.
So all food must be reserved exclusively for white people.
Everyone else can contact Oxfam or Save the Children.
Tim Worstall writes about that Guardian report here

I don’t currently pay for TV services – would any one say Netflix or Amazon is worth the money ?
Netflix without a doubt. Wait till you see house of cards, Happy or stranger things, you’ll wonder why you stayed with the 1960s BBC
Thanks
Scrib -might well get round to it . Not much to see on any Terrestrial TV anymore ….with our without the obligatory multicultural tokenism . ( too many big words apols to all )
Maybe tick box non whites should serve better
wonder when they propose to remake the horribly white, heterosexual Dad’s Army to reflect our diverse kultcha. Pikes mother will have to have a black GI boyfriend for a start …any other suggestions ?
They already did Annunaki. The feature film released within the last couple of years featured a “strong female cast of characters”.
I haven’t seen it, I don’t need to.
It was embarrassingly bad……
Hi scribblingscribe can you or anyone else say what the difference is between Amazon and Netflix .. what type of stuff do you get for your bang?
I agree with scribbling, House of Cards is fantastic, one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
Netflix is £7.99/month for unlimited Box Sets/TV Series/Movies and extra stuff gets added every day.
Compare that to £12.50/month for the BBC for which you get EastEnders/Strictly/Newsnight…….oh dear.
Can you get Love Thy Neighbour on it ? have not seen it on the TV for a while
Haven’t seen it on Netflix, but it’s on DailyMotion..
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6fjp4d
I think that’s the first episode, and all the others are posted too..
If you have Chrome cast, you can watch them on your TV
Fed
Regarding Netflix & Amazon it depends on the kind of programs you like to watch. I have dipped in and out of Netflix a couple of times (you can stop and restart again) when I feel I’ve watched most of the drama series & documentaries that I wanted to. I’m currently subscribed to Amazon Prime, but also ‘borrow’ Now TV from a mate who has me as a guest subscriber.
There’s plenty to see which is far, far superior to the crap you will be served up by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc. There is absolutely no need of a licence, unless someone in your household is deranged enough to want to see Eastenders, Love Island or Nadiya’s bloody cooking program.
It’s true that many of these American drama series on streaming are overhyped (and often have a left wing slant). Yes the villains are still usually white businessmen, but the blatant bias is so much more subtle than on the BBC. They are watchable because of superior writing, vision and direction.
Maybe the best thing is to visit the websites and see what they are currently showing. Note – what they show on UK Netflix is different to US Netflix.
Things I’ve watched and have rated highly since stopping the licence :
Netflix –
Breaking Bad
The Crown
Better Call Saul
Fargo
Hannibal (a bit gory, be warned)
The Expanse
Narcos
Amazon Prime –
Vikings (yes it is a poor man’s Game of Thrones, but fun)
Mr Robot
The Americans
Goliath
Now TV –
Twin Peaks – The Return
Westworld
Babylon Berlin
The Borgias
Billions
Atlanta
And that’s just those that IMO think are very good. There are also quite a few foreign series that are excellent. For documentaries Netflix edges it overall, but there are some great Sky Arts programs on Now TV. Amazon has a few decent war & history documentaries amongst all the cheap ‘alien mystery’ nonsense for people who never get off the settee!
Use of online pay-to-watch TV surges ahead
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45096610
Credit to the BBC they have now opened a Have Your Say on this subject of pay TV.
Comments could be going better.
Always hilarious to read the tin foil hat wearers who accuse the BBC of being right wing. If I could be bothered (which I’m not) I’d point out that having Nigel Farage on Question Time more than any other guest (& I’m not even sure that’s true) doesn’t make the BBC right wing. Having said that if your idea of balance is to only ever see and hear spokespeople for the left then you need to read a dictionary to learn the definition of balance. Either that or go to your safe space.
Anyway, the point I wanted to make. I’m sure it wasn’t asked and if it was I doubt people would be truthful but I’m sure there must be a decent sized chunk of people out there watching either live tv or more likely “Box Sets” and films online illegally, through providers that pretty much are illegal but operate in a legal grey area, or through outright downloaded piracy. The hassle involved in setting these devices up, or the fact that what the viewer is intending to watch is of a bingeable high quality, must surely impact directly on on the tradition viewing platforms.
We`re on Netflix too.
Not brilliant for me, but I`m odd-the rest of us love it, and wonder why on earth we bothered with the BBC up until earlier this year.
Stop funding Lineker and Co.
Thanks Holly – I m pleased to say I don’t fund the al beeb and never will whilst it’s in its current social. Engineering mode . Which I guess is for the future -foreseeable or otherwise …
Yes, Netflix is handy and there’s some stuff on there that I or my son find entertaining but I don’t find it as amazing as others do. However, a difference is that’s its entirely up to me whether or not I pay the £7.99 subscription per month and correct me if I’m wrong but I think it might even be availabile for £4.99 if you only want to use it on one device at a time and in standard definition. A quick bit of mental maths tells me that you could subscribe to Netflix and Amazon for not much more than the licence fee, it would be the individuals choice to do so so one couldn’t really grumble.
My viewing habits have changed in that I record what I want to watch so I don’t need to rush to the TV at a certain time and I’m spending less time wasting time channel hopping or simply vegetating in front of a TV as it provides background noise. As people get more selective and less inclined to let chewing gum for the eyes wash over them then that certainly won’t help the BBCs cause.
A side point is that these providers are businesses. They know who is watching what and when. If they see a sizeable chunk of the audience switching off 5 minutes through a particular type of series or film and identify the cause as the actors involved, the subject matter or the relentless virtue signalling then as a business they’ll look at capturing that audience by tailoring subject matter to them. Okay it’s a bit of a pipe dream, I’m relying on viewers exercising a degree of intelligence and it’s years off at best but you never know.
Go back 42 years to 1976 and, exactly at this time in the year, experts on the BBC were telling us of irreversible changes to northern European agriculture and that crop choice would have to reflect massive and permanent temperature alterations as a direct result.
Now you may find this difficult to believe, what with all the expert advice forecasting ‘hothouse earth’ but 41 years ago, in 1977, the harvest rotted in the fields during one of the coldest, wettest summers on record. Sadly, they don’t appear to have kept that record. Can’t think why.
Exactly. As Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, once said warmer weather is better for the planet (or rather the people on it) than cold weather.
We can adapt to warmer weather and the bonus is that areas of Canada and Russia become more farmable which is good for feeding our expanding billions. Colder weather just shrinks the amount of land available for crop growth.
And as Dinesh S’ouza said, if you walk into a crowded room and it’s a little hot, just take off your jacket or unbutton your shirt rather than opting to arbitrarily change the temperature of the entire room.
It’s easier for an individual or individuals to adapt rather than changing a much larger thing. Hence it’s easier for humans to adapt (that’s what makes us the most dominant species on the planet) than it is to attempt to change the entire planet. King Canute comes to mind.
They probably do have records Belty, but researchers at El Beeb are under the age of 40, and are incapable of recalling history beyond the Millenium.
Someone posted on here the other day about a programme in which the presenter said words to the effect of -many years ago, something that your grandparents will remember!!
Flipping ridiculous, someone born in 1970 who is still only 47 could quite easily remember that summer, it’s ingrained in us.
Indicative of the idiots who’ve never held down a real job in the real world that are in control of the media.
I just thought that I would check out the BARB figures for BBC2 and i spotted this:
Nadiya’s food programmes, with all the trailers before hand came in at number 3 in the chart with 2.21m viewers. The second week she is down to number 5 with a loss of 100,000 viewers. Ah well, at least some people have realised she is not that good a cook.
With luck the next utterance from her will be ” do you want poppadoms with that”
Trailers, One Show, Loose Women etc appearances and magazine covers.
Like anything that’s bigged up as being Must See TV it dragged in 2.21m viewers……..who realised that it’s no better than anything else on telly and is actually just another bloody coookery show. She’ll do well on the BBC, it’s in their interest to promote her so don’t think for a second that she’ll just fade away, however her relevance will diminish and people will gradually click on to the reason she’s in the public eye.
Gerry Adams is due out a cookbook for Christmas.
That`ll be Radio 4s Book of the Week in January.
Will he use jelly or gelignite for his party…not that it`s a party of course, it`s always been a balaclava bazaar.
How long do we have to wait before its the Anita & Nadya show – Farmyard to Kitchen (with a bit of halal slaughter in the middle) ? I bet somebody has thought of it .
Mr Orban has a clear idea of where Hungary should be heading regardless of the EU.

BBC Marvin Humes last night : Who do think you are?
I enjoyed seeing his expression when he discovered that his black ancestors were slave owners. Tears unnecessary…priceless 🙂

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/doctor-couple-locked-nanny-in-room-and-asked-to-sell-her-kidney-w5v897zk5
“Two doctors, a husband and wife, locked their nanny in a bedroom for two days without food and then asked her to sell her kidney, an employment tribunal was told yesterday.”
Oddly the BBC hasn’t mentioned this despicable act by Hussien el-Maghraby and Safaa Ismail.
The latest (deliberate) storm in a teacup caused by Boris has had the usual suspects vying to outdo each other with manufactured outrage. If I had a quid for every time some chancer used the fake phrase “Islamophobia” I’d be able to put in a bid to buy Chelsea FC.
First out of the blocks was that fat faced fraud, David Lammy, working himself into a lather. That man really needs to chill out. He’s the MP for Tottenham, FFS, a ghettoised shithole in north London with some of the worst gang related murder stats in Britain. Shouldn’t he really try fixing those problems before he blathers off attacking others?
Next in line was the arch feminist, Jess Phillips. You know, this really should astonish me, but it doesn’t. Why is it “feminists” always spring to the defence of a backward, medieval, barbaric, misogynistic cult, that oppresses women, performs the horror of FGM on them and dresses them in black death shrouds.? Have I missed something?
Jess has said she’s going to report Boris to the Equalites Council. Yes, that’s it Jess, pose and pout for the cameras, pretend to be outraged, you’re fooling no-one.
Then we had one of the Beeb’s favourites (can’t think why;)) the irritating “Baroness Warsi”. This is the unelected Muzzie brought in by our last feeble PM to assuage the Guardianistas. She has weighed in and accused Bojo of trying to clutch hold of the coat tails of President Trump and to emulate Steve Bannon.
Oh, if only…
I noted this one too Jeff.
The story was in yesterday mornings Telegraph. so the BBC have clearly been lining up the ducks on the wall for classic attempted hit piece like the Phanton Flanger on TISWAS.
A Citizen Khan wannabe in a “key constituency” an the end of the Northern Line was sough and found. He`s been a Tory , but he`s not happy.
Neither is Warsi(well, who`d have guessed)…not the Tory Chairman whover he is this month.
Mark Mardell was good enough to tell we plebs about something called “mandatory equalities training”-this North Korean or Chinese then Beeb?…and who came up with THAT?
There is no Arabic word for Islamophobe -only the Jew baiting Durban Conference, the Runnymewde Trust and the UN Muslim Nations gang came up with it…and so the BBC have it in their stupid mouths like a hook they`ll never get off now.
This was and is not news.
AND-Boris doesn`t want the burqa banned-whereas I do!
That`ll teach him then to suck up to Islam, you never can.
Ah well, a few minutes of Mardell and I crave the bedpans now.
For some reason the Beeb deems this worthy of top billing on its website.
Indonesia earthquake: Imam prays on as tremor rocks Bali mosque
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/45095590/indonesia-earthquake-imam-prays-on-as-tremor-rocks-bali-mosque
Beeb’s Bali Imam. Even more odd when you consider 80+ % of Bali is made up of Hindus. Surely they could have gone with a Hindu temple picture.
Indeed, Bali is majority Hindu. Which might explain why tourists flock to that peaceful island as opposed to the thousands of islands that compose the rest of muslim Indonesia.
As a member of the bank-robbing community, may I say how offended I was by Boris’s comparison to Burqa-wearers.
We bank robbers have never flown planes into sky-scrapers, planted bombs on the underground, thrown gays off buildings, hacked the throats of soldiers, beheaded journalists, driven vans into pedestrians, bombed pop concerts, or raped industrial numbers of children up and down the land.
I demand he withdraw his insensitive comments immediately or I shall have to report him to British Council of Bank Robbers.
Brilliant! 🙂 🙂
The Rajar bizarre definition of a listener
..You’d think a Today listener is one who listens 4 days out of 5 for say 30 mins
Nope 5 minutes a week is enough to get you counted as a R4Today listener.
\\ Weekly reach
Number of individuals listening to a station for at least 5 consecutive minutes in an average week.//
https://www.rajar.co.uk/content.php?page=about_key_facts_measures
I’m very fortunate not to be included in those statistics.
OG, I’m off the list as well. I haven’t listened to any of Toady this week and last week I only lasted for two words. It was 7.40 on Thursday and the two words were “the Guardian”.
“The European Commission provided Spain with €25.6 million ($30 million) in aid to improve the reception capacity of migrants in the country. The money will be used to provide food and shelter for people arriving through the so-called Western Mediterranean route. With this transfer, the EU has provided Spain with €692 million ($800 million) since 2014 to help manage migration flows.”
The EU with its further continuing contempt for the public:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12807/multiculturalism-spain-july
This contempt for the European taxpayer from ALL the elite in Europe is indicative to the implication that, ‘we know we eventually will be voted out but that takes time during the electoral cycles and meanwhile we will do everything in our power to cram more invaders into the EU’. Best part is they know they can use the taxpayers money to achieve their wicked aims – with undemocratic unacountability. Untouchables.
The EU has provided Spain with €692 million ($800 million) since 2014 to help manage migration flows.”
No that would be the taxpayers, most of whom want to leave the EU.
“migration flows”? And here was me believing that illegal economic invaders were dealt with in the country of arrival.

Don’t you just love the way the bbc spreads fear and despondency resulting, for many in depression and apathy. Yet, I assume their intention is to spur us to action but the problem is we are powerless to do much about anything. Maybe that’s the plan ? (Oo-err conspiracy or what?)
The latest ‘news’ piece is that the planet is becoming , ‘self heating ‘ rather than ‘self cooling.’ Well, I shall continue burning my smokeless coal and not using air travel but while China, India, Eastern Europe pollute freely and fires of, factory, wild and conflict origin continue to rage ?
The BBC has moved to the Left in pace with the increased availability of other channels.
I’m still appalled at the removal of Fox News from our TV screens – far more serious and significant than the removal of Info Wars if you think about it.
Fox News can be seen through Youtube
Do a search then filter the results by “Live now”
Thanks stew – I’ve never seen the Fox and wish it was free to air but yourtube will do
I don’t know where I’d be without Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and the Greg Gutfeld show on Fox News.
I can’t abide the BBC and it’s the only channel where they actually talk about things that are happening.
Yes, they might have a right leaning but they talk about enough of the Left’s bullshit that I can still see the games they are playing without having to watch CNN or watch QT.
gaxvil-The Totalitarian ‘Left’ (linked closely to Big Money, so not really very ‘Left’ in the traditional sense at all) is showing its face, with its attempts to impose censorship on us plebs.
For that is what Totalitarianism is all about – to have TOTAL control over all media outlets, in order ultimately to have total political and economic control. It does what it says on the tin!
We’ve known for a long time its totalitarian tendencies, but they become ever more explicit with each day that passes. T’was the mutterings of Amber recently, that marked the point where I knew they would stop at nothing.
I didn’t know Fox had been removed, do we have any idea who is behind that?
The reason given by Sky was that Fox News has low viewing figures so they would no longer carry it.
…………………. Exactly.
Certainly not low in the US.
BBC is still banging on about the “extreme right wing populist” problem…….meanwhile
That was a 2014 Tweet, but there is a brand new article about Twitter allowing his racism
View at Medium.com
Straight white men built our society because they were the ones who turned up for work every day. It still exists because they were the ones who fought and died to defend it.
I see that The Royal British Legion thinks the First World War was won by a soldier, a sailor, an Indian an African, two women and a child, according to their ‘say thank you to the First World War generation’. (Wot no animals?)
They tell us that the war gave the vote to 8 million women, ignoring the 5 million men who also gained the vote for the first time. The women did quite well, losing just one woman to a race horse, against the 700,000 men that didn’t live to get their vote.
Post-event equality is a wonderful thing – handing out those white feathers must have been quite tough.
Any idea who the Indian and the African was ?
No need to worry Nicola, just ask TraitorMay for half what you need and she will double it.
On planet Owen Jones
‘Yeh man those righties, they all full of hate and they bully and harass’
So he then says how he HATES Andrew O’Neill

https://order-order.com/2018/08/07/owen-jones-organises-750000-strong-pile-wrong-rob-burley/
(on knees, hands clasped)
“Dear God, please make Owen Jones write twenty articles every day to increase the votes for our party.”
Can’t think why Owen Jones has it in for Andrew Neil …
ah yes:
Some unkind people call it a car crash interview.
Odd, Owen never gets his crazy ideas questioned on the BBC when Andrew Neil isn’t around.
Aah! A recent graduate from the Diane Abbott School of Accountancy, back then, was our Owen.
I wonder what he’s owen in tax on an annual basis, these days?
Does he have a job then ?
Often feel a bit sorry for Mr. BBC Burley (not too much, as he does pick and choose his fights more for winning against challenged foes than to answer challenging questions).
But when he gets a truly mental bunch like The Owen Ranger and his Tonto Support Team set against him he is in pure clover. This is, like, ‘must be getting it right’ times a gigafubble, as Di might say.
His namesake however, less so.
Entertaining he may be in a car crash kind of way, but the BBC pretty much created Mr. Jones and still indulges him occasionally. So one hopes the ratings or the one degree of separation agenda dodges are worth it.
But whether the silly boy self destructs or inspires others to deal with troublesome priests, it is largely again due to the national broadcaster of the UK.
\\A 20-year-old scout appeared in court yesterday charged with possession of a bladed article after a counterterrorism investigation. Matthew Lennox,//

Hmm ……. Mid last century and on – we openly carried, knives on our belt and shouldered air guns, archery gear etc.
So comforting that in old age I find we’re living in such ‘enlightened’ and ‘civilized’ times that to carry such items elicits an armed Police response.
20-year-old scout? Alarm bells? Sorry, can’t read the article, as I’m not paying for that.
I thought even explorer scouts were younger than that.

They flout OFCOM and their Charter constantly but come on, they’re a ‘national treasure’. Treasure is best buried.

There is light at the end of the tunnel ?
Under ‘Technology’ they, Al Beeb, report that ‘online pay-to-watch TV surges ahead’.
The HYS is looking good !
Check out the comments about the Telly Tax.
I like the one that reads “its the organisation that hates Britain” . 🙂
Now remind me again, just what does OFCOM do ?

So, what has our Tory government done about it since last year ?
The BBC PR dept have got Anita Rani all over the place
: couple of pages in the Time, 2 in the Mail
The thing is, she just fancies herself too much.
Is she British or Indian? Dogs born in stables come to mind.
Meteoric rise from 4 Rooms to farmyard via Strictly. Now competing for column inches with Nadya.
Not BBC Bias but as some on here refer to it as the BBC’s ‘House Journal’, I will draw attention to the abominable Polly Toynbee ‘interfering’ in an Election (penultimate para refers) in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/02/brexit-labour-nec-candidates-jeremy-corbyn

Chicago gang violence : this weekend 30-74 people were shot

NRA members I expect. With legal weapons.
Is it currently hot in Chicago, Stew?
I remember Sgt Phil reminding his Hill Street watch of ‘Blues’:
“Remember, it is reaching the peak of summer and the forecast today is for daylong sunshine and the temperature to hit 90 degrees. Some of our citizens may be troubled by this and take it out on each other and on you. That’s it, let’s roll.”
“And hey! HEY! Let’s be c a r e f u l out there today.”
Oh, I loved Hill St Blues as a teenager! Everything used to stop in my friends house at 9pm on a Monday night when it was shown on ATV. A real eyeopener in its day and I would love to see iit repeated.
All over Twitter this afternoon, tweets from various WMP and fire brigade of a “incident” at Winson Green prison, car being set on fire and officers being threatened by masked men with guns, yet very strangely on both of our local news broadcasts, it’s not mentioned on Central News and a very small report on Midlands Today. You would almost think there is a news black out for some reason….
Looks like the hard left Comrade John McDonnell is encouraging his Momentum supporters onto the streets to fight the British .
. It was only a matter of time and might jolt people into realising that the hard left Labour Party is just that and not a fashion statement about supporting Corbyn.
We`ll be ready for them. They`ve had the streets and scared the old for too long.
Time to REALLY Reclaim the Streets-if we could stand up to Peter Sutcliffe in 1980, we can surely deal with a few lefty squits.
BBC UK “Skin-whitening creams: The battle against illegal products”
All BBC examples sold illegally by blacks, I am shocked.
“Trading Standards could do more shop visits and seizures, but it struggles to after a 40% cut in resources over the past 10 years”
Disgraceful, let’s shut down the rape investigation bureau and move the funding to decrease the increase in whiteness. Or would that be racist?
What I want to know is where I can buy skin darkening cream, hair frizzing shampoo etc so I can get treated equally.
Another article about life expectancy. Do not raise your hopes and expectations, about the standard of the article, not your longevity.

SG – Plenty of passages free all year round and that’s just those of BBC employees.
Boris Johnson’s comments about Islamic clothing have far more coverage than actual recent terror attacks. We are supposed to accept what these lunatics tell us is proper news? I won’t let cowardly morons tell me what to think. God, talk about the blind leading the sighted. Why should liberals label Conservative opinions ‘hate speech’? A factual observation about attire should lead the news? This is ‘total boll**ks speech’ which is far worse than legitimate ‘hatred’ to me.
I am constantly amazed at how the BBC can produce a negative story about the UK from quite good information and ignore the variance in statistics to support the story. Top story headline on BBC website
“UK among worst for life expectancy rises”
Then read the detail – we are talking about differences in weeks..no standard deviations – it’s a slow down in increase – don’t they think maybe we are all starting to reach the ‘normal’ life expectancy so of course the increase in expectancy will slow..and be afftected by other factors more easily
They are also doing another wage gap analysis – ignoring other factors? They manage to get a Professor to say something about Austerity..surprised climate change isn’t there.
If you read the ONS report they actually explain things like why there is a difference – especially in Japan ( which BBC ignore completely as it would dent their story).. but we are still talking the difference between 4 weeks and 16 weeks increase..WTF
Poor science and reporting whilst knocking the UK again …
F*** me Professor Danny Dawling on R4 now promoting the austerity angle…
I don’t know this case : Her friends are shouting it’s another TR-style stitchup
\\@itvcalendar why are you not reporting on the poor woman Melanie Shaw trial that was at Leeds crown court earlier today?//

Jesus – Kay Burley – how much does she get paid to put forward stupid and crass analogies? Not BBC but worthy of them as they keep pushing the Boris must apologise..
Ms burley is merely the product of the incest which results from these people living in a metro bubble and just getting to share the same outlook on the world with any dissenter labelled as ‘ extreme right’ . Can’t see it changing in the near future – although sky news does lose – I understand £600 million a year but it was Ruperts pet project
Increases in life expectancy slows. Not yet falling. But watch this space.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/bulletins/nationallifetablesunitedkingdom/2014to2016
‘New Government target set, to match the average life expectancy of nationals living in Pakistan, Somalia, Eretria, Bangladesh and other Third World countries’.
Could the trend have anything to do with the Government? Like the NHS murdering patients in Gosport and elsewhere. Like the number of foreign staff in the NHS who, in the main, will never, never show the same dedication to patients as British born health staff.
