        @RobRoy a note about your comment below
        Harra’s article comments are always rigged as if he phones his activist mates up just before he posts, so they can pile in on the comments.
        What the do is systematically downvote sensible comments
        But strangely this time it did not happen
        only 25 of his mates turned up to do the downvoting
        Thus sceptics kept control, there being 75 of them in the discussion
        Comments opened at 3pm Friday and closed 10pm Saturday cos moderators don’t work Sundays

        But why is the bBC producing discussion articles for just 100 people, making just 145 comments ?
        Mail articles used to get 8,000 comments sometime , 100 out of 60 million people is nothing

          Stew, I think we can see this when sometimes the comments are opened up when they add the item, or at other times it can be hours before the HYS is available. So I guess this is also due to when the wreck brigade have finished supping their mocha lattes in Neros and can be asked to log on.

          I often post on HYS, usually with an actual fact/ stat with a reference – and still these bozos ‘dislike’ it.

    Don’t you just love some of the HYS comments on the BBC website. Take this daft story – Europe ‘takes too much of Earth resources’ at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48215453

    Among the comments are:-

    “What would really help solve this problem is some kids skiving off school teaming up with a bunch of workshy crusties to block all the roads and superglue themselves to trains and buses to raise awareness, annoy everyone and stop them getting to work and back home in a timely fashion. Then maybe a stupid English actress could fly in from L.A to tell us not to use planes so often. That would work.”

    “And southeast asia releases the most CO2, dumps the most waste into the ocean, burns the most coal and has the largest population. But it’s all somehow the west that’s not pulling their weight.”

    And this, my favourite, that get right to the point

    “Europe may or may not be overusing the earth’ resources, but the UK undoubtedly leads the world in its excess of virtue signalling, media savvy, green activists who, while technically illiterate, abuse statistics of dubious value to prey upon the inherent British angst that we must have sinned in the past and so must now atone – for everything!”

    It’s encouraging that most of the top rated comments are usually Pro-Brexit, Climate Change skeptic and BBC critics – I wonder if the Beeb are ever going to get the message.

      Parliaments sin was to rule other nations undemocratically. First America rebelled because Parliament would not let them have representation. Then Parliament gave Canada devolution rather than representation. Parliament continued to refuse representation or democratic federation of the Empire. So it all ended when the Labour party won in 1945, introducing a policy of Brexit type national sovereignty for those colonies that wanted independence.

      Parliaments sin is now to resist national sovereignty and independence for Britain, as well as democracy for the House of Lords, which is the only totally undemocratic legislative body in the western world. The Yellow vests would chop off the heads of Lords with a Guillotine if the French still had a House of Lords.

      So its not our fault. IT’S PARLIAMENTS FAULT. Those bastards in Parliament sinned in the past and so must now atone for everything.

        I totally agree – and as I’ve said before – I think the current building is part of the problem . It encourages little monsters like Bercow to become inflated monsters . The false traditions turn the thing into a game where voters are disregarded by MPs who rapidly lose touch, know far better and become traitors .

        I say this because in a previous life I went into that building quite a lot . You can feel the corruption wrapped up with nonsense traditions

        Such ineptitude should be front page news on the BBC, but the racist BBC think such minorities are unable to be held to the same standards as everyone else.

      I have just read an article in a local newspaper about an Orwellian Climate Change organisation called “Hope for the Future”. Apparently the article shows pupils being indoctrinated by a climate change propaganda programme. It shows the local Tory MP visiting the school. The MP says that the pupils “have been working hard to produce Climate Change campaigns” The Tory MP was attending the Schools climate change campaign day. It means that politicians are being lobbied by school children who have been indoctrinated by an organisation supported by Members of Parliament, and funded indirectly by the government through a huge network of other charities. The scam also includes lovely soft nice phrases like “better the world for all living thinks” ”bringing to life what children are learning” and “protecting the environment”. I am now waiting for further news of what can be done. It looks like a threat of legal action against the schools headmaster could be possible, forcing them to back off from the indoctrination campaign. The parents must feel powerless as the local MP, school and media are not going to help them contact us. We will see what Weatheraction and the GWPF are doing about this.

      Rob Roy,

      The BBC has a long history of pretending to be interested in the voice of the people. And when (as so often happens) that voice powerfully contradicts the BBC’s narrow, lefty outlook, the BBC goes into incredible angst – or it used to.

      Here’s Peter Horrocks, who was so high up in the BBC he was practically in PeeCee heaven, writing in The Editors blog on the value of citizen journalism. It’s a transcript of a speech he made after his angst over highly-recommended comments to HYS after the murder of Benazir Bhutto:

      “That’s the way politics works with The Religion of Peace”. 828

      “Religion of Peace strikes again.” 717

      “Is this another example of the wonderful tolerance for which, or so we are constantly being told, Islam is famous?
      Its time the rest of the world stopped making excuses for this barbaric, dark ages way of life and completely condemned the casual brutality continually perpetrated by so many of the religion’s supporters.” 565

      Here’s Horrocks’ initial reaction:

      Ten days ago, just hours after the death of Benazir Bhutto, we considered turning off the comment recommendation facility on that story on the BBC News website. It was only a fleeting suggestion but that we could consider, however briefly, freezing this important part of BBC News’ service tells you something about the power and the potential danger of the new intensity of the interaction between the contributing public, journalists and audiences. And it raises the question of how much attention and resource news organisations should devote to this rapidly burgeoning aspect of our journalism.

      The transcript is really long, but quite informative and revealing of the BBC mindset re the voice of the people. It’s also astonishingly honest coming from a BBC top dog. Ever since Horrocks’ speech (and probably for some time beforehand) the BBC has been agonising over how inclusive it should be of the public voice. It did in fact turn the ‘Recommend Comments’ facility off for a long time on HYS. Also, the format used to be much more generous than now, allowing lengthy comments.

      No doubt if the majority of HYS comments followed the BBC line, there would be no anguished cry from the likes of Peter Horrocks about how to deal with the phenomenon of the public voice.

      Horrocks also said this:

      And of course in the end we didn’t cut off that Have Your Say forum. The BBC has made a commitment to listening to the views of its audience. And I have no doubt how any attempt to down-play or disregard their comments would have been seen – as censorship and a conspiracy by the BBC to prevent their strongly held views.

      Too right, Mr. Horrocks – and of course it bloody well would have been exactly that.

    My concern is they will, eventually, get the message. Then they will trim their sails slightly, just enough, and without any soul-searching continue blithely on as though they hadn’t been wrong about everything for decades and helped ruin this nation. A bit like Soviet-supporting Marxists last century who never recanted, never apologised, but just carried on in their jobs as Sociology lecturers, Labour politicians… or bbc news editors.

    Imagine a general election where the government is outvoted and the opposition should take its place — but cannot for three years .
    And then it’s in doubt .
    Because people who voted for the democratly elected party might or could have changed their minds , according to university lecturers , a left wing newspaper, a strangely financed broadcaster , some shouty people and other assorted Gramscians .
    Because they think it’s a mistake to honour what the people voted for , a people’s vote . They want à People’s Vote .
    The People’s Vote will be final , the government will honour it unless the people vote not as the People’s Vote but as the people vote .
    If the people vote about an international treaty and for independence it can easily be proved that the people voted wrongly because the people voted slightly differently for a town council in areas where there were local elections.
    Therefore it is right to ignore a people’s vote unless it’s a People’s Vote .
    ( I might wrong about this ; it might be THE people’s vote not A people’s vote )

      I remember a time when all the nations called “Peoples Democratic Republic” were ruled by communist dictators. So “Peoples Vote” sounds like communist hypocrisy to me. It means the people who want a peoples vote do not respect democracy, so would not respect the result unless the people voted against democracy. Otherwise they would call for a “Confirmatory vote” and if that didn’t go their way then they would call for a “Peoples Plebiscite“ and so forth, on and on, just like the “Theresa Mays Deal” votes.

    Well I have taken a break from politics as it was too much of a headache and I blanked out the BBC altogether. Only yesterday I heard them advertising for the Labour Party through on the radio at work about ‘pay rises for 16 year olds’ or what ever desperate bribe Corbyn has come up with. I went to their website and low behold, pro Labour bias everywhere!

    Anyway I got a letter from them asking to inspect as I do not have a license. Shall I play nice or just waste their time?

    This BBC-Farage interview is so pathetic, questions about the upcoming EU elections included:

    “Are you going to apologize for the “turning point poster”
    “The 2016 referendum gave no mandate for a no deal Brexit”
    “The government has been trying to leave the EU”
    “You are talking about betrayal by the government which is divisive”
    “Lots of your fellow citizens will lose their jobs (if we leave the EU)”
    “So you still feel uncomfortable with foreign languages”
    “Do you still want to privatize the NHS”
    “Do you still think that HIV infected foreigners should not be able to use the NHS”
    “do you still admire Putin”

    And finally Andrew Marr at the end of the interview tells you to look at the BBC (propaganda) website for more information about the EU election.

    The BBC is filled with filth, lies and propaganda.

      On the host page for this site there’s some hackle raising garbage from the indy100 on the Marr/Farage farrago, packed with the sensitive and well constructed opinions from a selection of high-IQ readers. A joy to browse.
      A recurrent theme is the frequency of NF’s appearances on the BBC but by comparison another frequently featured character – with far less justification, given his past record – does not get a mention. He’s a bombastic liar, a bully, and one of the most truly unprincipled and despicable men on the political scene: Alistair Campbell.

      the funny thing is on R4 today Sue Lawley said Nigel Farage was shown to have lost his argument with Marr by his responses – (so no bias there eh Sue) another beauty – she must have been watching a different programme to me.

    The Brexiteers are divided between the Brexit Party on 34% and UKIP on 4%. But the Remainers are divided five ways between Labour on 21%, LibDems on 12%, Tories on 11%, Greens on 8% and Change UK on 3%.
    So UKIP are unlikely to get any MEP’s. At the moment a ten MEP list would go. Brexit, Labour, Brexit, LibDem, Brexit, Tory, Labour, Brexit, Green, Labour. But if UKIP voters voted Brexit Party, then a list of ten would go. Brexit, Labour, Brexit, Brexit, LibDem, Tory, Labour, Brexit, Green, Brexit. Giving half the seats to the Brexit Party.

    • Demon says:

      Richard, as you no doubt realised what you’re saying is Brexit has 38% and Remain 55%. It makes it look as if Brexit is haemorrhaging support. The truth is many leavers will have been fooled by the one-sided lying propaganda that claims Conservatives and Labour are planning to deliver Brexit as the illiberal undemocratics keep blurting.

      Also some leavers remain loyal to their party despite letting them down on Brexit. I remain worried but the Brexit Party can at least deliver a bloody nose to the two main parties, and if May remains clinging on to power it will be a Coup-de-Grace for the Conservatives.

    Oh dear! President Trump, just like the BBC, doesn’t ‘understand’ how tariffs work.

    This puts the BBC in a difficult position. They have deliberately misrepresented the effects of tariffs and enabled ‘Remainers’ to do so as well in relation to Brexit. They are now forced to either disagree with President Trump and to present the correct effect of tariffs or to continue their little charade but side with Trump.

    What a dilemma!

    ‘Car crash’ Marr needs to watch out: he has competition from Caroline Hawley. She was on at 6.12am approx to talk about Julian Assange. Well, she talked. And ‘Ummmhd’. And ‘Errrrd’. And hesitated. And stumbled. She did not really know her stuff.

    She did it a lot.

    Just a bad day at work? Maybe. A one-off? Possibly. Probably. Not very good value for £3.5bn and equal pay with the BBC men.

    BibbyCee morning emole with a few added OBSERVATIONS.

    ****
    Brexit: Any cross-party deal ‘will need public vote’

    CLASSIC BBC ‘QUOTE’ TO TRY AND TURN OPINION INTO FACT.

    The government and the Labour Party are today re-starting talks aimed at ending the deadlock over Brexit. But shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer is warning [OH, SO IT’S ANOTHER WARNING FROM A BLOKE THEN] that any arrangement they come up with must be put to the public in a confirmatory referendum [GOOD TRY, AUNTY]. Otherwise, he tells the Guardian [OH, MY SIDES] between 120 and 150 Labour MPs are likely to refuse to back it.

    Not, of course, that the two sides have reached any deal yet. Sir Keir’s also saying that Prime Minister Theresa May must budge on her “red lines” if this is to happen. MPs have rejected Mrs May’s withdrawal agreement with the EU three times, forcing her to hold talks with Labour, in the hope of creating a cross-party consensus.

    With 10 days to go before the European Parliament elections, how are the polls looking? [BAD FOR THE NARRATIVE, HENCE….] And here’s all you need to know about how the elections work.” [ANYONE USING WHAT THE BBC DECIDES YOU NEED TO KNOW DESRVES ALL THEY GET]

    Am I missing something? Maybe. Are the Parliamentary Conservative Party and Labour Party MPs missing something? Maybe. Is the BBC missing something? Maybe.

    The EU have said that the deal available to the UK a.k.a. known as the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) or Treeza’s Deal or the Chequers Agreement is the only deal available to the UK. It cannot be changed. It cannot be modified. It cannot be altered.

    So why are a bunch of people from the Conservative and Labour Parties talking about changing or modifying or altering the WA? As far as the EU are concerned it cannot be done. It will not be done. Is anyone in the UK paying attention?

    BBC?

    Care to comment?

    maxi?

    Anyone?

    The programme has mentioned in News headlines and in one short item that the boss of Tesco has called for a tax on online retailers to fund a 20% cut in Business Rates to save High Street (and, I assume, Tesco Extra) shops. That is really smart!

    The Tesco boss should have engaged his brain before opening his mouth.

    More tax taken from hard-pressed consumers who shop on-line because 1. prices are more competitive and often cheaper, and 2. it is definitely cheaper than using expensive (and CO2 producing) transport to travel to the High Street where you may have to pay even more to park a car or walk to bus or train carrying heavy bags is likely to make consumers:
    1. Shop even less, including at Tesco stores,
    2. Shop more, or,
    3. Don’t know?

    Think carefully, Dave Lewis. Tax those little grey cells a bit more. OK? Now answer …..

    BBC. Same question to you. What do you mean, you didn’t think of that!

    I wonder why?

    A nice cosy chat on the Beeb sofa this morning with that lying old reptile, Alistair Campbell, chatting to Sophie and Dan. Now, okay, they’re a couple of lightweights, but my old gran could have done a better job.
    Old wrinkles was there, ostensibly, to talk about a programme he’s made about depression. Let’s be frank he’s got quite a lot to be depressed about.
    Of course the discussion turned to Brexit. As we all know Alistair’s against it. I noticed that there was none of the overt hostility that Nigel experienced (and gave back tenfold!) during his grilling on the Marr show.
    Campbell came out with a real corker that deserved to be hit for six, but dumb and dumber just sat there smiling.
    He said that the million people who marched through London to ask for another referendum shouldn’t be ignored. Blimey, he’s got a brass neck! Don’t you think one of them (paid up journalists, after all) might have reminded him that prior to the Iraq war two million people marched through London attempting to change the government’s mind? They were ignored. And it was Ali’s “dodgy dossier” that was the final nail in the coffin.
    Blair’s war cost untold lives and billions of pounds.
    Add now his spin doctor suffers with depression.
    Oh dear…

      I just looked up Paul Johnson’s ‘message.’
      https://www.ifs.org.uk/about/director

      Our goal at the Institute for Fiscal Studies is to promote effective economic and social policies by understanding better their impact on individuals, families, businesses and the government’s finances. Our findings are based on rigorous analysis, detailed empirical evidence and in-depth institutional knowledge. We seek to communicate them effectively, to a wide range of audiences, thereby maximising their impact on policy both directly and by informing public debate.

      At the risk of stating the obvious this is just the type of drivel-speak/HR-speak we constantly get from the ‘establishment’. The individual words have dictionary definitions but the statement is meaningless.

      How can someone who thinks that NF lost the Marr [non] interview be capable of rigorous analysis?

    More on the ‘sabotage’ of the 4 oil tankers.

    These days it appears we are becoming more & more like the old Soviet Union, where people had to learn to read between the lines of what was being reported to get to the truth.

    “There were no injuries reported but the two tankers suffered significant damage to their structures”

    Stop and think about this for a second. Significant structural damage to something the size of an oil tanker? What could possibly cause that? The only rational answer is explosives and it would have to be outside the ships hull.

    A small limpet mine perhaps? Maybe the press or the UAE where this happened do not want to provoke alarm, but if these were mines of some sort, then it is a serious escalation in the situation between Iran and the West.
