Much despondency on the site and the various bits of the State are not doing themselves any favours – including of course the biased State Broadcaster.

Has anyone found “Sir” Lenny do anything funny, no Sir Tommy Cooper, Sir Hancock, Lenny wants to celebrate multiculturalism in comedy but completely ignores anyone who is not black / asian, funny that is not multi
Stan – Agreed. Political agenda. Little entertainment value. Light years away from Tommy. Off switch.
Imagine a BBC programme celebrating white comedy ? well keep imagining its a fantasy, muzzie sitcoms and lennie henry doing faux west indian accents sending his audience into hysterics is all we have, btw not a racist comment, my father in law was from Barbados and he was not funny he did rant a little and phllosophise, well actually now I think about it, he was funny but if I did laugh he damn well got his own back, whatever chilli shit he put in the Xmas turkey stuffing …..
Stan
Croeso ! From the West – Welcome!
Al Beeb don’t do comedy.
‘Tommy the Taff’ did, and he was proud to be British .
Al Beeb have forgotten their roots, have turned their back on comedy and turned their back on Great Britain.
Time for Great Britain to turn its back on Al Beeb.

Seems anyone white and, God help them, blonde, in office is instantly vilified as a racist for what reason ? because they is not black innit

One gets a knighthood one does not, maybe Mr Henry does some charity work, lets make it clear then, it is certainly not for his contribution to the comedy world and I will be happier as long as he carries on campaigning for black people whilst using the phrase muli culturalism to represent his new programme about black people, , as long as he acknowledges that 85% of this country are white and are, in my opinion, sick of being endlessly spoonfed our minorities in adverts and films, there is no valid reason to promote the fact that you are black as special we all know the reason for young black people underachieving, the elephant in the room, lack of a male role model i.e. absent fathers
So Sir Lenny are you willing to address this ? or rather like Naga on the BBC just whinge whine and complain we is black we is oppressed
Watching C4 and couldn’t help noticing in the commercial breaks the diversity body count. Almost every ad featured an overwhelming percentage of obvious non native folk. This has to be OFCOM at work engineering society under some master plan.
Also have noticed that if a mixed couple are show it’s inevitably a white female and black guy. Are they trying to discourage white guys from dating black ‘wimmin’ or something or do they think that this might upset the black guys?
Time I think to vote with your shopping for all the disenfranchised horrible white folks (and particularly white men).
I think their profit bottom line might influence their diversity credentials.
Agree totally already boycotted maltesers and all their various products after three adverts with a large office with only black males, white females they should all be open to boycotts
Seriously. I have stopped using Sainsbury for that very reason. Their adverts aren’t aimed at my ethnicity so they obviously don’t want my custom.
Seriously also, and only works if you take the time to make them aware, TfL just produced three posters about their customers, usual suspects one black female, second, muzzie bint in a headscarf as required, third a white male in a wheelchair a pathetic lie, and sick, if we withdrew our custom see how they would survive, the 85% white indigenous population who pay for all services
Racist ? bloody right and about time its OUR race who built this country and carry on working and paying for it OUR families who fought wars to protect it the very same place they all want to come to and live off our taxes I want to see those very same people represented in the media
Stan,

Halifax said “I have stopped using Sainsbury for that very reason. Their adverts aren’t aimed at my ethnicity so they obviously don’t want my custom.”
good..hit them where it hurts..more should do this imo.
I won’t be using Virgin Media. Advert is I think only black children, the main one being a very loud black girl aged about 8 (I guess) at one stage kicking a ball whilst on some electronic device. I can see no reason that I would need anything the advert is promoting.
That is fine but do tell them otherwise they will not care, I am seriously concerned about Lidls adverts and who they want to impress as their demographic dept has got it all wrong they are not selling to Africa but a quick look would tell you otherwise
I understand that London has a different demographic to other places, but we do not all live in London, a small part of the UK population, maybe the ad agencies do or maybe they, like so many others, completely misunderstand the diversity thing, it is meant to reflect the society we live in. which is NOT entiirely consisting of black men with white wifes and muzzies left right and centre, visit any place in the UK outside of a city to see that is evident, and those millions who out populate them by a large margin find it hard to understand (bit like the brexit thing really, macro econimics vs micro)
I’ve said time and again on here that mixed race couples are not prevalent in my area, or the surrounding areas here in ‘rural’ Britain, so the big companies Virgin, Supermarkets etc etc who employ the ad agencies (who are clearly based in London), no doubt clap their hands when are shown the work these agencies produce for their client.
We are now awash with ads showing a more than 50/50 demographic in favour of BAME’s, which is clearly nonsensical. The same is happening on our tv, any programme with a presenting duo is more than likely to have a black/white mix – which I honestly don’t have a problem with, but its the clear message that it portrays that bugs me.
I’m female but I also happen to loathe the ‘women in all areas’ that the agenda is pushing. I’m sick to the teeth of listening to thin reedy voices as outside broadcast ‘journalists’ tell me the news, or are sat behind the studio desk talking to yet more business/sport/showbix/political correspondents who are – women.
The total BAME population of Britain is estimated at almost 15%. This includes all black, Asian, Oriental and mixed race people, along with anyone with a slight sun tan. It also includes our Eastern European cousins, who are specifically counted in so as to boost the number of non-Brits, despite being largely ignored otherwise on account of them being predominately White and Christian. If you see a general advertisement that does not reflect these figures, then they are not trying to sell you something – they are trying to replace you.

Match of the Day regularly has Gary Lineker interviewing a player or manager on a video screen, the interview clearly having taken place straight after the match and Lineker introducing it by saying he “spoke to him earlier.”
Are we actually seeing an interview conducted by a lowly production assistant, with Lineker’s questions/reactions filmed later?
Nah, of course not. Remember the Alan Yentob “Noddygate” scandal of 2007 (where “noddies” of Yentob were inserted into interviews for Imagine that he wasn’t present for)? The BBC wouldn’t stoop to such trickery anymore, would they?
He’s always been a goal hanger…but watching him at Wembley was fantastic, his acceleration, watching him on TV not so, a friend of mine put it quite precisely, footballers are good at football and not generally good at talking he is an example of living in cloud cuckoo land, live in Southall where you can walk for miles without seeing a white british person, live there Mr Lineker and then I will listen to tyou
My point being : no willingness to integrate at all how stupid are we to allow these ghettos
Struggling to find anything newsworthy to write about this week though here’s some thoughts on the limbo-stalemate that is the Brexit mess.

Latest Hull news
“An urgent appeal has been launched to find a Hull teenager who did not return home after visiting Hull Fair.
Ellie Benstead, 14, was at Paragon Interchange after a visit to the Walton Street showground, when she last made contact with anyone else.”
Still not found

Oh I wonder who could they be ? will the BBC be looking closeley ? is it a Jewish alleged sex offender like Harvey Weinsten ? we can expect numerous reports, is it Boris ? is it Trump ? we can expect numerous reports, is it muzzies ? we can expect NOTHING
Nothing on the BBC so:
complaint submitted:
Hull police arrest group of men for sex offences against teenage girls after ‘long and complex’ inquiry
world class journalists missed that one, or is it because, as I will bet my life on, we have another lot of muslim gang rapists ?
Comment partly deleted – fedup2 1430 Sunday afternoon .
I checked properly there seems to have been no mention of the big grooming gang story
with national connections.
OK it could be argued it’s a big case so it’s saving it for a big Panorama or something.
They did manage to report the Friday historic abuse case in court
where a headmaster had been abusing boys by slapping their bottoms with a shoe.
The Daily Express DOES report the grooming gang case
and furthermore I can see someone knew about it 5 days ago

BBC catchup with the Hull grooming gang
1:51pm they posted this
Note the plain graphic they use
and the description “men” 24 and 43 years old
victims “two girls in Hull and two others from outside the area”
“offences were reported to police between 2017 and this year.”
so doesn’t seem like historic

Oh I get it it is the only news allowed by the bbc about white males now, unless they are in a wheelchair, or they have to wear fishnet stockings and size 12 stilletos or just talk like a prepubescent girl to feature on the bbc
and certainly not allowed to have a white wife, thats racist they are for black men, apparently
Isn’t Alan Carr funny ? no its because he talks like a schoolgirl that people find him slightly amusing, for about two minutes, like a circus freak,
But he is a shoe in for the bbc for life like the other one who talks like a girl and squeals, the Norton one, they will put him anywhere and everywhere they can unless he starts talking like a male adult and marries a white women then he will be finished
He best be careful if booking a late night taxi.
Mate : we can do without the P-word
and characterising everyone with brown skin as a “they”.
@Fedup2 ?
I bet you are in in neighbourhood watch, or maybe a special constable
“Mate” we can do without the B-word I am British not a Brit that is a contraction from lazy people of two syllables, yet you object to the contraction of a word of 4 syllables, for what reason ?
brown skin where was that mentioned ? I will tell you, it was not
And telling the truth of the origin of 99.99999 % of the gang rapists (I believe there was a Sikh involved at one point) is valid IMO
@ run to teacher, please sir
If you fly off the handle , you provide the libmob with an easy excuse to dismiss your cause of preventing further such attacks.
You used the words “gang rapists” .. this is the wrong phrase
There is a difference “gang rapists” which is NOT a pure Pak/Bangla thing
and “On street grooming/raping gangs” which is vastly a Pak/Bangla thing
I do not “fly off the handle” and please do not presume to correct my terminology, I do not presume to investigate any your rants for factual or otherwise content, but your ill informed comment about my presumed bias against brown skin is offensive to my wife
@Stan If you fly off the handle , you provide the libmob with an easy excuse to dismiss your cause of preventing further such attacks.
You used the words “gang rapists” this is the wrong phrase
There is a difference “gang rapists” which is NOT a pure Pakistani/Bangla thing
and “On street grooming/raping gangs” which is vastly a Pakistani/Bangla thing
You did not provide support for your opinion “99% of the gang rapists” cos it is not true.
“brown skin” was mentioned in you using the P-word
“contraction from lazy people” you used The p-word, that is of course a “contraction”
This country has enough problems with its home born rapists, before we import even more, that doesn’t mean every Pakistani immigrant is a rapist.
If I had said handle, I am unlikely to fly off it, I had a bad experience with a hang glider once, those power cables can give you a nasty rash, yet, I agree with your libmob assertion, which is why I provide support for my opinions, and do not criticise others on this site whether they can provide evidence or not for their opinions. Or correct their terminology, a dangerous ground for anyone who wishes to express their own opinion at length, a philosophy you obviously do not share, but we are all here to celebrate diversity….
I am trying to be tolerant of your ad hominems but you do test me
interesting how you are able to adjust your posts well after the editing time allowed for others, a little like the Chinese regime, we are all equal but some are more equal than others, I would suggest, if you wish to retain any credibility, that you understand that I have friends born in India from Indian indigenous families with white skin and blue eyes and there are such from all others in Asia, where you get this brown skin obsession from which I have never mentioned I do not know maybe your own little problem
I added to my comment
I didn’t delete anything
You misrepresent me, I did no Ad Hom
I’m merely pointing out that it is not right to use the P-word, it gets this site put in a restricted category and possibly banned off council wifi.
QED
The idea of having a responsibility to look after all of Creation is consistent with Christian teaching but so is the necessity to always be on guard against half-truths ie. deception. (eg fake news)
The R4 religion prog did not cover the case of black Christian actress Seyi Omooba
If you type her name into a Twitter you see hundreds of hatey posts against her
They think it is legitimate to target her for hate, cos when she got a big job someone dug up a 2014 Facebook post she had written about the bible’s words against homosexuality
9/28/19: “As an up-and-coming actress, Seyi Omooba was overjoyed to be given the lead role in a stage version of The Color Purple.”
“… But just a day after she was cast in the production, the emergence of an old Facebook post in which she quoted the Bible to express her Christian beliefs led to her being sacked as a ‘homophobe’.”
In a discussion about homosexuality, she had written
: ‘It is clearly evident in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 what the Bible says on this matter. I do not believe you can be born gay and I do not believe homosexuality is right…’
Now she can no longer get auditions and was fired by her agents.

A little look into some of our minorities and their particular racist, sexist and homophobic traits is rather interesting
https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/17/woman-in-hijab-launches-racist-attack-on-indian-bus-passenger-10758285/
One cannot but help smile at the banner of this ‘newspaper’. With absolutely no sense of self-irony it reads: ‘Metro – News… But not as you know it’.
Indeed.
(This particular rag, infamous as a source of rubbish on Britain’s public transport, is published by DMG Media, the people responsible for the Daily Mail).
‘I understood the infamous mental terror which this
movement exercised on the population which could neither
morally nor psychically resist such attacks; Social De-
mocracy, at a given signal, directs a bombardment of lies and calumnies towards the adversary who seemed most
dangerous, till finally the nerves of those who had been attacked give out and they, for the sake of peace, bow down to the hated enemy.
But the fools will not find peace after all.
The play begins again and is so often repeated till the
fear of the mad dog paralyzes them by suggestion. ‘
Craig at ‘Is the BBC biased?’ notes that the Black Mafia, the Nagas, are turning the screws and are demanding an apology, more black people on the complaints unit and a ‘review’ of David Jordan’s performance…
http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-bbc-bubble-is-boiling.html
‘The open revolt at the BBC over the Naga Munchetty affair continues. Thursday saw open meetings with BBC staff calling for (1) a formal apology for Naga, (2) more black and ethnic minority people to be included in the Executive Complaints Unit and (3) a review of the role of David Jordan, the BBC’s head of editorial standards.’
It will be interesting to see how the BBC reacts because of course they have already thrown Jordan under the bus with a peremptory command from Lord Hall who over-rode Jordan’s decision and we have seen the appointment of a black ‘director of creative diversity’….a job seemingly invented to assuage the Black Mafia….no doubt her first decree will be that the BBC is far too ‘hideously white’ and change is needed.
The fact is the BBC is cringing and prostrating itself before the onslaught of race-baiting activists who weaponise race and use it, exploiting the self-flagellating white liberal guilt about ‘Empire’, to push their own, race based, interests into a dominant position…Lord Hall shows weakness and panders to their demands and they immediately come back and continue the attack demanding more…it will never end.
You can of course see the embarrassing, pathetic and grovelling end result in Justin Webb’s statement that a white man should not be standing in an election against a black or Muslim person….it’s just not ‘2020’ apparently….that is though very 1984.
‘Peace’ does not lie on this path as you give in to black and Muslim supremacists. What will be the end result? We’ve already seen the attempts to destroy British history, society and culture and to paint it as evil and oppressive due to its ‘whiteness’….these attacks will only increase and unfortunately the BBC has always been at the forefront of them….whether its stating that there is no such thing as ‘britishness’ or a British national identity or culture, or attacks on the ‘West’, its history and behaviour, attacks on Christianity [seen as a white religion for some reason] and the endless small little surrenders, such as Webb’s or Greg Dyke’s assertion that the BBC is ‘hideously white’, or of course Jon Snow’s shock as ‘so many white people in one place’.
The BBC et al demonise white people, their history, their culture, their society. It is the BBC that is racist, and dangerously so.
And if they think that by giving in on this and that, a job here and a special job there, a ‘black’ supervision and oversight of all BBC decisions, the pressure will not stop. With every surrender they see weakness and will press their advantage until they are in charge and they impose their own racially tinged ideology…and it won’t be good…witness David ‘kill the boer’ Lammy and his racial charged inflammatory rhetoric whipping up hate and division.
‘The fools will not find peace after all. ‘

Love the oft used phrase “binge on box sets” why do they want us on sofas watching box sets days on end?
Is it sheer hypocrisy, a deliberate attempt to mislead and misinform or do they just not see?
Listening to Sunday this morning I heard them attacking Trump and his Evangelical Christian base…a Republican congressman complained that some US universities were getting federal funding and using it to push a positive image of Islam whilst not doing so for Judaism or Christianity.
The BBC represented this purely as Trump campaigning for extremist Christian advocates who will vote for him in 2020…rather exploring the real issues and problems….it was a very negative take on the story and the tone was highly critical about Christians, er, standing up for themselves. The last paragraph of The Independent’s report illustrates the type of mindset the BBC’s story reflected…
‘Academics have warned that creeping political interest into academia could endanger other programmes that receive similar funds.
Henry Reichman, chairman of a committee on academic freedom for the American Association of University Professors, told the Associated Press that “the odour of right wing political correctness that comes through this definitely could have a chilling effect”.’
Hmmm…but they do like federal funding, the just don’t want to actually fulfil the requirements and expectations of those providing that funding…they essentially lied to get it and decided to use it for their own ends…and now complain when caught out.
Oddly they don’t complain about politics in academia when it is them pushing that politics…as here with a ‘positive image of Islam’.
And here’s the BBC hypocrisy just minutes apart in the same programme…one moment attacking the racist and Islamophobic Trump and his Christian base for ‘fighting Islam’ as they see this, and then minutes later extolling the virtues of Priests who fought Fascism…and of course trying to make some sort of resonance with today.
So one minute Christians are evil for opposing the extremist Islam, the next heroes for fighting Fascism.
You may have thought the most relevant question on the BBC presenter’s list would be to ask the author of the book why he limited this to Fascism…surely The Church was heavily involved in fighting Communism and Soviet oppression…what about persecution of Christians across the Muslim world and the Priests fighting to save it as Christianity is being wiped out there? Neither of those issues were even hinted at by the presenter who was more concerned about the rise of Fascism today…though he did manage to avoid mentioning Brexit….but just remember kids, as one BBC presenter told us,…‘Not all Leave voters are Far-Right racists but….’
A finer example of BBC hypocrisy you’d be hard pushed to find….attacking Christians who criticise the promotion of an extremist Islamic ideology and then praising the Christians who fight Fascism….of course the BBC’s definition of ‘Fascism’ is extremely broad and can range from anyone who votes Tory, Adolf Hitler and on up to the worst of all….Nigel Farage….but don’t even think of suggesting Islam could be included in that range.
Oh yes…further on that note….Mark Mardell this week discussing the joys of Cameron and how he put an end to the ‘nasty party’…now he’s gone is the nasty party back? No bias there then…his default position that the Tories were nasty before Cameron and now, no matter how fluffy and nice Boris’ policies are, they are sliding back into nastiness….no better illustration than their racist and wicked policy of getting Brexit done.
You know what the BBC’s priorities are.
Lord Singh writes in the Mail on Sunday today that even
Jesus Christ himself wouldn’t get pass the BBC’S thought
police today.
Lord Singh you have no chance! The BBC’S thought police
have made sure that even the MAJOR story of the Paris police
murders by an Islamic terrorist is hidden away.
BBC is this what Diversity and Positive discrimination is about?
You must cover up atrocities perpetrated by followers of
the religion of peace. And make it impossible for Britain’s
best known Sikh to express his religious views on Thought
for Today because it might offend those like the French Islamic
terrorist that murdered four infidels in Paris in the name of Allah!
Issues the BBC doesn’t want to acknowledge….and reinforcing why the last comment about the BBC criticism of Trump for questioning the funding of pro-Islamic studies is something that itself needs to be ciriticised….
From The Gatestone Institute:
https://www.meforum.org/6205/foreign-muslim-funding-western-universities
Foreign Muslim Funding of Western Universities
‘[T]here is a growing threat to Western leadership around the world. The threat is not Islamic terrorism (although that is a real and growing threat, especially in Europe, but increasingly in the United States). The threat is not about growing Muslim demographics (although this is taking its toll in Europe, too). The threat is not even from the rise in influence of Islam across the globe. Those are genuine issues; Western leaders have so far failed adequately to respond to the threats they represent.
The clear and present danger here eclipses all the others: it is to the values of the Enlightenment. If not curtailed, this risk could usher in the abandonment of the very intellectual freedoms on which our wider freedoms rest. It is our complicity in the rapid and so far unstoppable growth of direct Islamic (and indeed Islamist) control over whole departments and centers in a burgeoning number of Western universities in Europe and the USA.
Do a handful of donations from Muslim governments to a number of European and American universities merit an entire article that starts out with claims that Western civilization is under threat? As a matter of fact, the scale of the donations is far beyond a handful, the universities involved are among the top academies in the world, the money involved is hundreds of billions of dollars, and the targets of Islamic finance are, for the most part, specific and form part of a distinct agenda. Some money may be given to business schools or science departments, but the overwhelming majority goes to support or create large departments and academic centers for Middle East, Islamic, or Arabic Studies.
What so many fail or prefer not to grasp is that the subventions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar in particular are part of a much wider pattern. The Saudis for decades have disbursed hundreds of billions of dollars in order to propagate their puritan form of Islam, Wahhabism, across the globe, while building hundreds of mosques, schools, libraries, and Islamic centres, and sending out streams of hardline preachers trained in their seminaries and Islamic universities, to spread their message to Muslims everywhere, creating and financing bodies for Islamic missionary work, recruiting young Muslims to commit to an extreme form of their faith – all to the end of making the Saudi state the key player in the world of Islam and a leader in the propagation of Islam in the West. That is the nature of the doctrine. Deep pockets for academic study in Europe and North America are stitched tightly against their pockets that fund the missionary work and the enforcement of the most fundamentalist form of the Islamic faith.
We cannot continue to live like this. We cannot let hardline Muslims and Muslim states elbow aside their reform-minded brethren and trample on our most essential freedoms. Without the example and standards set up by Western nations, the Muslim world itself will fall into even greater decline, and that will lead to greater violence everywhere. If we owe it to ourselves to resist this onslaught on our values, we also owe it to the Muslim world to protect it from its own resistance to and fear of change.’

Well, The Marr Show was up to its usual impeccable standards of impartiality this morning.
Fisrt there was a rather pleasant, cosy chat between Uncle Andrew and his favourite, niece, Shami Chakrabarti. That’s really what it was like.
Uncle Andy leaned back in his chair, his voice was soft and the questions even softer. Shami, as usual, had a face “like a smacked arse” as my old mum would have said and always looked as though she was on the verge of tears.
It’s something I’ve noticed with all these lefty women; they’re so bloody miserable. Be honest, have you ever seen any of ’em smile? Cooper, Lucas, Ali Baba Brown, Jess Philips and laughing girl, Stella Creasy. Well, not often…
Marr was so easy going on Chakrabratty that I thought he’d lost his touch. I needn’t have worried. Soon he was interviewing Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay and his whole demeanour changed. Dr Jekyll suddenly became Mr Hyde.
His voice had a real edge to it. He sat on the edge of his chair. He was sharp with the questions, endlessly interrupting, disagreeing and disputing. “You’re not answering the question.” he barked, having not given the bloke more than two seconds to formulate his answer. No sign of Uncle Andy with Stephen.
This was more like the snarling Marr of old.
Can’t think what happened to him earlier…
RE Islamists (RE Stew Green : “they”) why are they fireproof ? Because they are organised, any chance of promoting their feudal cult and complaining about a “negative press” however warranted, and emails start flying towards the bbc from every mosque in the country, and no matter how racist they are with respect to any other race or religion, they will use that particular part of our ill thought out legislation to hide behind, and convince those at the bbc that they represent a significant part of this country when in fact they do not but are expert at whingeing
I watched them recently mob up on a Christian street preacher in a small town, a Christian preacher in a Christian country
She has got a hell of a gob on her though, directed towards her co presenters many times as well as anyone else she wants to bully
Such a gob seems a fair route to career progression in the media world.
BTW The BBC has a “child grooming” keyword page
We know they probably leave off the vast majority of grooming gang stories
However they have chosen to include on that page 3 items about a super-disturbing story of in family abuse in Swansea
where a father allegedly abused his daughter and then the daughter she had given birth to by him
..their excuse was that the word “groomed ” was mentioned in court.
If you fly off the handle , you provide the libmob with an easy excuse to dismiss your course of preventing further such attacks.
You used the words “gang rapists” this is the wrong phrase
There is a difference “gang rapists” which is NOT a pure Pak/Bangla thing
and “On street grooming/raping gangs” which is vastly a Pak/Bangla thing.

‘ “German people for too long have lived in the guilt of Adolf Hitler. Do not live in the guilt of Angela Merkel.”’
Seems John Sweeney can’t let a good lie lie…..
He claims Tommy Robinson spoke in apprecation of Hitler at ‘The Adolf Hitler Appreciation Society’….except of course he didn’t…the clip was taken way out of context….here’s someone who knows the ins and outs…..what really happened and what was said….
https://barthsnotes.com/2019/10/06/a-note-on-john-sweeney-tommy-robinson-and-the-adolf-hitler-appreciation-society/
‘I wrote about the fiasco at the time, here and here. Sweeney was filmed in a restaurant by an associate of Robinson who was pretending to be an informant – the journalist was shown working his way through the drinks menu, making numerous indiscreet remarks, and then ostentatiously putting £220 on expenses. He also discussed how a clip might be used to put Robinson in the worst light possible, in a way that could reasonably be seen as misleading. The BBC at the time said that it stood by the documentary, but its failure to appear speaks for itself. Sweeney, overconfident and complacent, had underestimated his quarry and undermined the credibility of the project.
Sweeney has now followed up on his “cunt” jibe with a short Twitter video that includes a clip of Robinson speaking to an enthusiastic crowd in Bavaria last year. The event had been reported at the time by Andrew Gilligan at the Sunday Times, who noted:
Robinson [received] the “European patriot of the year” award at a conference in Bavaria organised by the hard-right magazine Compact. In his acceptance speech, he said: “German people for too long have lived in the guilt of Adolf Hitler. Do not live in the guilt of Angela Merkel.”
The conference, on September 29, brought together key figures on the European far right, including Lutz Bachmann, the founder of Pegida, Martin Sellner, from the Generation Identity movement, leaders of the Alternative for Germany party and a representative of the Italian leader, Matteo Salvini. Compact has been funded by the Kremlin-created Institute for Democracy and Co-operation.
The first sentence of this quote also appears in the Sweeney video (twice), and Sweeney describes the crowd as a meeting of the “Adolf Hitler Appreciation Society”. Reiterating his fondness for crude gynaecological abuse, Sweeney ends by calling Robinson a “Nazi cunt” and pointedly quaffing some red wine.
On Twitter, the video has been lauded as a defiant gesture against Robinson, but I can’t say I’m impressed by the lazy buffoonery, which comes across as compensatory for Sweeney’s self-evident failure. The video gives the impression that Sweeney has unearthed the clip, when he’s done nothing of the kind, and many Twitter users have taken his “Adolf Hitler Appreciation Society” designation at face value – meaning that Sweeney, whatever his intentions, has effectively dumped misinformation onto social media that Robinson and his supporters will in all likelihood capitalise on.
In short, Sweeney’s latest antics are actually a hindrance to subjecting Robinson and his associates to proper critical scrutiny.’

“Rapper Krept ‘is stabbed backstage’ in knife brawl as Radio 1Xtra Live show ends in chaos”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7542763/Rapper-Krept-stabbed-backstage-knife-brawl-Radio-1Xtra-Live-ends-chaos.html#comments
Rapper Krept has been stabbed backstage as a mass knife brawl broke out at a BBC Radio 1Xtra Live show in Birmingham last night.
Looks like the new young and Vibrant / Diverse demographic that the BBC keeps pandering to and shoehorning into all its broadcast output is continuing to live up to the stereotype that they have created.
The nearest I ever came to witnessing violence at a BBC broadcast was when Julian and Sandy started bickering hysterically at each other in Round The Horne after Julian divulged a tale about “Bognor” concerning Sandy; “You traitor – you swore you’d never tell!”, exclaims Sandy.
Wouldn’t it have been terrible if some bbc staff had been hurt in the crossfire?
Poor dears, one shudders at the thought.
I think John Noakes got a bit angry with Shep once after sh@ttting on his shoe, or maybe it was an elephant pissing, nowadays he would probably be hounded to the end of his days by animal rights activists
Do you remember The Blue Peter apology? I think it was on one of those tapes that got wiped but fortunately I kept my copy…
Whats gone wrong ? why cant the kids today make an X box out of some bog rolls and sticky tape ? we did and an orange and a walnut for Christmas and we were happy, never saw a banana till I was 30, they don’t know they’ve lived
Celebrate the diversity bro.
“BBC Radio 1Extra: A BBC radio station that is funded by the TV licence tax.”

https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1186346/Naga-Munchetty-complaint-Amrou-Al-Kadhi-BBC-Breakfast-video
That blue lipstick doesn’t suit Munchetty.
Maybe it’s the curse of Trump that changed her into a mad-looking witch.
This confused me….
‘This morning BBC Breakfast hosts Naga and Charlie Stayt were joined by Amrou Al-Kadhi to talk about their new book Unicorn.’
The I realised even the Express has fallen to the PC thought police…’he’ becomes ‘They’ and ‘Their book’….despite the man calling himself a ‘sister’…‘“Us sisters have to stick together and it is never ever biased to call out racism’
Tommy Robinson was of course saying don’t destroy your own nation, culture, society because of some guilt about what Hitler did in the past…he cites [in one phrase] Merkel’s actions in throwing open the borders to Muslim ‘refugees’, or the whole world in fact, and the highly disruptive if not destructive effect the influx of so many people who don’t value German or Western values…the self-destructive self-flagellation and cultural suicide of western liberals…on our behalf….the BBC guilty on our behalf about Empire and colonialism, the Germans about Hitler…and the Muslims about Muhammed and his rampage across the Middle East..his ideology still causing division and conflict across the world? No guilt there for the ‘Golden Age of Islamic Empire’?
Here’s where Sweeney took the clip from…clipped by him even shorter of course for effective spin…..note also Sweeney took the cheering and clapping from Tommy’s entrance and placed it after the clip ‘appreciating Hitler’.[around 18 mins 40 sec]
You can call COMPACT ONLINE ‘hard-right’ if you like.
Same way you can call Nigel or UKIP ‘ hard right’.
Fact is, NONE of the MSM in G. do anything other than criticize the AfD (which has the policies the CDU had twenty years ago) and -in the main- support Merkel without reservation.
Not ‘Die Welt’ (mildly conservative) not FAZ (mildly conservative) not ‘Focus’ mildly liberal , not the ‘Sueddeutsche’ or ‘Die Zeit’ or ‘Tagesspiegel’ (for all three, think Guardian).
I read all of them, so I am in a position to judge. I think.
And ‘Focus’ is very Feminist orientated.
There are others. All fine with Merkel. All anti-AfD.
So, UK papers can be celebrated. (Except the usual suspects)
It’s still there and Nigel has just mentioned it on his Sunday show.
The owners have said that they will continue as long as we are inside the Common Fisheries Policy.
We need a clean break, and no transition period.
Why aren’t XR protesting against this?
It needs a torpedo now, or at least a Sea Skua. Sadly from what I know I doubt the RN have the capability. The only boats we have are either docked or somewhere in the Gulf and any aircraft with capability are Unserviveable.
It’s a disgrace on so mny levels but you won’t find it on the RBC. That boat will be filled to the gunnels with mackeral, herring and other summer species, and as it doesn’t discriminate it will also have whiting, cod and sprats(winter species).
Why are the climate extinction loons not all over this I wonder? What’s darling Greta got to say about it. It’s raping the sea and we stand by an let it carry on unchecked.
I read/heard somewhere that it also scrapes the breeding ‘surface’ for Bass (?) in addition to netting huge amounts of fish. I don’t understand much about fishing, but it sounded hugely (environmentally) damaging.
Torpedoes overdue.
Mmmm, the sort of reportage you won’t find on Countryfile for sure.
The European Bass, Dicentrachus Labrax? Known in many posh London Eatieries as ‘Sea Bass’ (note to to Ed, there is no freshwater species of Bass in the UK, so why they give it this moniker is to attract the gullible. They breed inshore from March to June, and the larvae are not good at swimming, so I’m not sure if this boat will impact them anymore than other commercial fishing.
Under EUSSR total allowable catch regulations 2019, Rod and Line anglers in the UK are currently prevented from taking anymore than between 1 and 3 fish a session, depending upon what ICES divison they are fishing. Commercials can fish for and retain Bass from 1st April to 31st December 2019, again local restrictions apply and permission must be obtained from the MMO.
There are too many posts on this site about subjects other than BBC bias.
Whether the posts are by BBC bias believers or someone trolling to damage the sites reputation, they need to be flagged as not BBC bias related or deleted
I’m guilty of this!! But it helps to post about things they don’t.
Bias by omission.
Can those posts be worded in such a way as to point out the bias by omission by the bbc.
Does a post with no BBC included belong here?
#ironyalert …as has been used about the BBC often.
A decision for the moderators. But you are correct in saying that we/I do deviate. I never watch or listen to the bBC now.
How can you make a relevant comment then ?
Just asking please do not take offence, it is a mindset on here which we all are part of but really a silly comment to start this narrative off, are we all required to not watch or listen to something then complain about it ?
How does that work then ? my house cat does not complain to me about the traffic jams on the M1
She uses the A1 now
That very frequently happens.
Anyway, if you place the bbc in the centre of a ‘mind map’, you can branch out in all directions.
Then you will find yourself frequently getting back to the bbc in no time at all.
Interconnectedness of all things.
Sadly the problem I have is that in order to post exclusively about BBC bias , which is now endemic across all their output, you have to watch or listen to the BBC a lot. I simply can’t tolerate more than a few minutes a day. Over the years I have been sensitised so that now the mere sight of Emily or Jo or Naga or Gary , or hearing the voice of Justin or Soapy causes me a severe medical reaction. If only posts that for the most part cover the BBC are to be allowed in future, then I will have to stop posting and content my self with reading what the rest of you brave souls , who can still stomach the non stop propaganda, do post.
PS Do you think that I could claim compo from the BBC for the damage they have done to my health. I am a victim!
DT,
There’s also the Marxist State Broadcaster’s biased offerings on the radio and their website.
Guardian claims the judges/establishment are against XR
\\ Using battering ram, London police raid @XRebellionUK
warehouse*, arresting activists in attempt to thwart planned #7Oct direct action. //
* actually The former Lambeth County Court – a facility which shut in 2017
They make out police only got 3 pillows
.. that sounds like a false narrative
cos in the photo there appears to be a mass of XR heras fencing stacked up
whilst their volunteers are offloading a lorry load of brand new pallet trolleys
before the raid police warned them about blocking the pavement
and that such stuff would be seized unless it was moved
Looks like it was an illegal squat
They appeals for vans and lorries as they were being evicted

Re On-topic : Most people here understand that the rot in the BBC extends out into the rest of MSm & metrolib establishment.
This XR topic came up on LBC just after Maajid Nawaz show began after Farage
We are trying to get to the truth before the BBC distorts it, and if I fact check live … then I can share quickly, but it often spreads over 3 parts .
Now the show has finished I will add a couple more points.
MN ‘s show was a disgrace he made a narrative as XR as the victims, the technique he used was to to be soft on XR, whilst quickly cutting off callers who opposed them
#1 fallacy of comparing Apples vs Oranges
‘Some normal protests block the road,
so what is the difference in XR protests ?”
FFS they XR are blocking bridges for TWO WEEKS
whilst normal protests
– agree with the police a week beforehand, that they will use a road for an hour
#2 He misrepresented the police by playing down that police had seized XR vehicles and instead he concentrated on pink cushions and nappies
“XR nappies are for children during peaceful sing-alongs”
Really ?
Doh, extreme activists use nappies when they do lock-on protests etc.
#3 He toxic labelled skeptics as denier
“I am not a climate denier” he kept saying and then he cut off callers if they mentioned Piers Corbyn
#4 He said he supports XR but claimed to get climate action you need to be positive not negative.
FFS their name is “extinction” ..that is super negative
And what do you consider BBC bias related posts ? Happy swapping posts about Blue Peter at the moment and why ? because the BBC will never repeat that programme, for whatever reason which IMO is relevant
And how can ANYONE post their opinions on here who say they never listen or watch the bbc because they refuse to have a license ?
MODERATOR HOLDING POST . I’m going Back through the recent posts in a bit . I give notice that if I find stuff I just don’t like they are going .
Stan – if you are annukani in a different guise please find another site . On a quick glance your comments are overly hostile and not conducive to a calm site . That’s just me but I have the ‘trash ‘ button .
If you don’t like what I say about you go somewhere else . Engage me in abusive argument and all you comments will be deleted . I’m going editing in an hour or so …
And As far as trying to focus on the misbehaviour of the State Broadcasting Corporation alone – I agee the site should focus on that but it infects so many areas of life that it is a hard thing to do .
You said it: that’s just you,
Mr Green decided to take personal umbrage and as far as I am concerned I have been decidedly calm and collected about it, you can see my reply as can everyone, Fedup2 _ if you are Stew Green in a different guise just admit it as his post editing skills are beyond the rest of us
Annunaki ?
Keep up the good work Fed, I’ve noticed a few contributors recently who I firmly believe are trolling or attempting to provide provocation to the users and the mods…
I firmly believe the site is having an impact, hitting some where it hurts so to speak, and that’s only a good thing in my view.
Ahh Annunaki, I see now looking back, and you put two and two together and you come up with 7 ( commented edited by Fedup 2 )
TWW,
Just off topic, has anyone noticed on YT how the range of videos that they have calculated the visitor likes (based on their previous searches), has been dropping? I’m sure others here would have noticed (all being Far Right Nazi’s like I iz). Channels like The Duran and Blaze TV were ‘in your face’ to watch but no longer. You now need to search for them. I realise that the best channels like Iconoclast are no longer with YT so I imagine YT operate some sort of pecking order: The further Right a channel is, now leaves itself vulnerable to rising to the top of their hitlist and being chopped off. Suddenly.
And I am being vilified ?
Stan – you’re acting like a troll . I’m going back to edit and remove your comments if I rule them ‘out of order’. If you don’t like it find another site . I’m not engaging in hostility with you . Your comments will just go int the trash .
Stan
Comment deleted . Go find another site .
You are a highly offensive and very self opinionated little wanker, I will ensure that you are reminded of your shortcomings at regular intervals
We will be very happy to repay the favour, Stan.
For a new poster here you seem to have gone from 0 – Offensive in an impressive time of 1.25 hours.
Agree, keep this site professional, trolling or deviation from this site’s goal does it no favours
I agree, but posts only commenting on The metro paper or how adverts have few white people are not BBC bias and some posters are moving to being only racist for that point alone.
I hope I am mistaken
Am I still in the real world? I read in the Times this morning that Bercow has been proposed as a possible PM of a Government of National Unity! How on earth can a man despised by the 52% who voted Leave be considered as a unifying figure? If Westminster Remainers really believe that he could unite the country they are certainly on a different planet to the one that I am on. More likely they just don’t give a toss about what we Leavers think , they have ignored us and they will continue to ignore us. Democracy is so last century in their view. But Even if we never leave the EU the great gift to us that Brexit has brought, is that we know we are ruled by anti democrats and we know who quite a lot of them are. They chose to abandon democracy and two can play at that game.
DT,
“….More likely they just don’t give a toss about what we Leavers think , they have ignored us and they will continue to ignore us.” Spot on.
When they run the scenarios through their tiny brains, they have to stray toward how Uncle George (Soros) will smile on them for duties performed for the Marxist movement.
Camilla Long in The Sunday Times:
“Kirsty Wark, the Newsnight presenter, has claimed she owes her success to positive discrimination … … …
This is the problem with positive discrimination – it makes everything, even Kirsty Wark, look fake.
The BBC has now become so obsessed with the practice that its dramas are routinely filled with story-lines and characters that simply wouldn’t exist in the real world. Watch any of its Sunday night offerings and you’d imagine that our top institutions were all run by black disabled lesbians or that the war was won exclusively by gay or trans people.
Meanwhile, women like Wark feel they have to talk up the corporation by talking down their own positions, claiming they’re only in their jobs because of how morally good the BBC is as an institution.”
https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/09/with-these-documentaries-the-bbc-has-lost-any-claim-to-impartiality/?
The only claims in that regard for years were being made by Lord Hall, Hugs, Franny and Nick. Plus Kay, for some weird sister reason. And no one was or is buying.
Without political leadership, this will fail.
“We believe that the only way the BBC can be seen to be impartial is to have an independent, objective system of measurement – not one that the BBC runs against itself. Then and only then can it really be called impartial.”
“We have now submitted our case to the High Court and we are anticipating that a hearing will be held in the autumn. At that stage I will assess what our campaign needs in terms of additional fundraising, but for now let me say once again a huge ‘thank you’ – your generosity has enabled this very important challenge to go ahead. ”

‘The BBC is overfunded and the license fee should cut by 90 percent’
This could be the basis for a winning political mandate?
I would then expect the BBC to threaten to ax the Archers, thus causing even greater suffering to its elderly audience..
‘The BBC is overfunded and the license fee should cut by 90 percent’
There is a story attributed to Oscar Wilde. He was in the presence of a beautiful woman and asked if she would go to bed with him for £1000. She replied ‘Why, yes!’. He then said: ‘Would you go to bed with me for £1?’. She replied: ‘Certainly not! What do you think I am?’. Oscar said: ‘Madam, we have already ascertained what you are. Now we are merely haggling over the price’.
Same sort of thing for the BBC. Even if the license was cut by 90% it would be still be an institutionally biased media whore for the liberal globalist establishment. Time to scrap it altogether.
“Bias by omission.” Exactly. This is an essential part of the debate.
I agree, if on this site, it comes from a biased BBC viewpoint.
The point should be the perversion of diversity which the bbc takes to its extreme, I said before and will say again, diversity is meant to reflect the society it sits within, and if it did so would cause no offence, yet those who abuse this for whatever reason, do cause offence as evidenced by so many on this site today and last evening, so any comments that are related to that are not racist, anyone who believes this are totally missing the point
Yes there will be racists who promote this point of view this does not take anything away from the validity of it, it is not racist in any way to object to our mass media, led by the bbc promoting muslims and afro carribeans at the expense of the vast majority in this country, yet hiding their criminal behaviour
Back in the day, the BBC might have been content to strive for an objective take on the subject, perhaps with a voiceover by Samuel West and lots of period footage. But the danger of that approach, the BBC has since realised, is that it runs the risk of viewers making up their own minds what to think.

I have to say that I find this site valuable for the news and other information posters provide that you won’t normally get from the MSM. As the nation’s largest media provider the BBC is therefore guilty of carrying out the most censorship of news etc that deserves to be in the public domain.
It has long been guilty of bias by omission but in recent years it is increasingly guilty of bias by commission, ie knowingly lying.
Did the BBC make a mistake on Saturday? The 9 pm slot on BBC Four was filled with the one-off The King’s Choice, the story of Norway’s king following the invasion by Germany in WW2.
The parallels with our current political situation, who is ‘in charge’, the government, the speaker or The Supreme Court, loss of sovereignty and the intervention of the original Quisling was quite amazing!
Either someone in the BBC doesn’t know their history or they couldn’t be bothered to check the content of a film about Norway.
@Jims
no word of a lie Jim, I watched it thinking it would be awful…but was actually ok.
Its the ONLY BBC programme I have watched all the way through for years.!!……i will have to watch it again to check I wasnt deceived….
Rod Liddle talking about Radio 4 Today Programme’s daily feature ‘Thought for the Day’, in the Sunday Times:
“… … … This is the problem with Thought for the Day. It is three minutes of anodyne, flopsy-bunny drivel filtered through the sphincter of a spineless liberal BBC apparatchik. What we want is an evangelical railing against sodomites, a left-footer ranting about abortion and a Presbyterian raving about the Whore of Rome.”
Liddle in the Speccy : Sorry, sir, we only stock books we agree with
Where’s my book?’ Six weeks previously I had wandered into the shop to see if they were stocking The Great Betrayal: they weren’t. … ‘I’m sorry, Rod,’ she said, ‘but I don’t stock political books.’
‘But…’ I began pointing to the large array of political books in her window. ‘Apart from those dealing with feminism, the environment, climate change and gender issues,’ she replied. I said wasn’t it a pity that a book which was written 150 metres from her shop, which quoted local people and had reached number four in the Sunday Times bestseller list, couldn’t find room …
Another woman, with long straggly hair and a face like the blade of a freshly sharpened hatchet, got up from her chair and said,
‘This is a private meeting, goodbye’,..
