It has been 1316 days since the EU referendum . In that time – and before – we have witnessed the biased Far Left BBC running anti brexit stories every day all the time; and it has failed . It may show the decline of the BBC on shaping and influencing public thinking and public life . Let’s celebrate a new sort of Freedom .

The Four Yorkshiremen sketch or the UK sandwich crisis? I really wonder which one was dreamt up by the Monty Python team.
Well, on a pedantic point of fact, it wasn’t Monty Python nor was it the BBC.
Often it can be tricky deciding what is ‘not news’ in Britain, vs. clearly holding front page stuff not in Britain, where unique funding comes from.

Yet they don’t even mention when Trump has huge stadiums full.
One of my mantras in life is that there’s nothing wrong with making a mistake so long as you learn by it. But al beeb has not learnt a single lesson from Dec. 12th’s election result, therefore I now firmly believe that that very definition of ‘madness’, regarding them, may well be true ????
ps-you can add the Labour party to that
Lessons to be learned ?
Al Beeb appear to be having a ‘bad hair’ week , what with their job cuts ,
British independence , and now it looks as if President Trump is about to be acquitted. Its an Al Beeb hat trick !
It couldn’t be better ?
Well, its almost as good as watching Taffman’s team beat Italy 42-0.
Trump may be acquitted but the fight goes on, Taff.
Add to that an article in the FT saying the government will next week launch a consultation on decriminalisation of the TV tax and put in the same box as parking fines .
Also a new MP – Julian knight – is in charge of the media committee – apparently the BBC and Mr Knight are not ‘ friends ‘.
If there was ever any doubts as to the depths the BBC have sunk in their hatred of the nation named in their logo, last night’s output, with its weapon’s grade bias, should have removed them from all but their most ardent supporters, the ones only found in the pages of the Guardian.
Trump will extend entry restrictions to more countries from Feb 22nd
The media still call it a Travel Ban, but as far as I know, people are allowed in to visit once they have completed extended vetting as the policy is more about restricting people who want to come and live in the USA.
“Six countries have been added to the list: Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania, Eritrea, Myanmar, and Kyrgyzstan.
In addition, “certain nationals” of Sudan and Tanzania will also be suspended from participating in the US visa lottery’
We could do with Trump here.
I watched Dangerous Earth = Aurora on BBC Four tonight. It could have been quite interesting but I don’t trust the BBC.
I have never seen an aurora and I don’t know what they look like. Oh I have seen them on TV before, but have I? I have ‘seen’ earth-moving machinery apparently outperforming F1 racing cars, I have ‘seen’ bullets slowly bursting apart water melons. My own experience tells me that these images have been speeded up or slowed down, but what to do if one has no experience to relate the TV picture to?
Of course the BBC has been faking science for decades, its ‘world class’ nature programmes from BBC Bristol have long been filmed on artificial sets, like the one used by a member of the public to win the Countryfile calendar prize.
If they can fake nature what else are they faking?
JimS
“If they can fake nature what else are they faking?”
News ?
Happy Brexit Day signs reported to police.
Ha ha! I can’t prove it, of course, but I strongly suspect that the concerned citizen “… who does not want to be named … “, and is a resident with plenty of opportunity to do so, printed those notices and put them up, just so he could create a ‘hate crime’ story. It’s an old trick.
Oops, you have found the BBC was, as ever, well ahead of the game. If not journalistically. Sources say.
Message to Al Beeb

“Great Britain is open for trade and business with the rest of the world without Europe !”
Go on Al Beeb, do your bit for Great Britain .
I expect any day now a Chinese-looking person will complain that someone gave them a funny look or a wide berth in a public place. The BBC will then pounce on this as proof of Sino-phobia, with one of their provocative ‘question headlines’ like “Are we racist towards the Chinese?”.
Answer: No, just sensibly wary of possible Coronavirus carriers.
So far Sky and ITV have gone mental on a ‘hate poster’ that has currently zero substantiation.
Can’t wait for the bbc to eventually get offended.
Police are busy searching for bill posters instead of knife men .
PC world has gone bonkers !
The BBC Human Resources department is busy looking for any Chinese employees it might have, who could be persuaded to be ‘ordinary members of the public’ for faux-victim reporting stories. Unfortunately, in the rush to recruit as many black and ‘Asian’ (sic) people as possible, they appear to have overlooked this demographic. Well, if they will insist on working hard and living their own lives quietly, rather than being foot soldiers for self-hating white liberals, what do they expect?

Mere hours after big scenes of celebration, barely a month since an election widely seen as a 2nd ref, the BBC website is running a prominent story headlined ‘Have Britons changed their minds on Brexit?’
‘Have Britons changed their minds on Brexit?’
Stirring.
Though is this going to be a perennial like Scottish independence?
It does appear to be one of State Broadcaster’s core campaigns.

It is interesting to see the vast number of comments saying the same thing. I watched and listened to the BBC Friday and yesterday for the first time in weeks and all I heard was negative comments about Brexit and the voices of the Rejoiners..
Boris really has to do something about the BBC
James – 2 days after the event on Friday I am still bugged by the fact that both ITV and BBC ended their ‘rejoin specials ‘ at 2315 . Compared to other things they give air time to this is nothing but remainer spite .
I’m now waiting for a list of traitors who have left the UK , renounced their UK passports , and applied for ReichEU citizenship ,
Somehow I don’t think there will be one .
‘Have Britons changed their minds on Brexit?’ – Another of their lies disguised as questions.

I could’ve joined the RSC way back in the seventies. All I had to do was join Vanessa Redgrave’s Worker’s Revolutionary Party (i.e. Trotskyites) and they’d have welcomed me with open arms. Talent? No problem, they’d have had me performing Brecht, which requires no talent whatsoever.
The Welsh certainly showed them over confident Frenchies wot woz wot, shoulder to shoulder with Lancastrians, same as moi, Taff, even though they were starving and riddled with dysentery. I visited Azincourt (note spelling) a few years ago with a school party and given our reception,I am not sure if they have gotten over that October in 1415. A few, I think, have never forgiven us for kicking Hitlers mob out in ’44-45 either.

The BBC has decided to become the official opposition to
the Conservative government. So be it. It also looks like
it has decided to declare” war” on the indigenous population
of the UK. It wants us to feel guilty because we are white.
The by word is privilege. In fact more and more the BBC is
allowing inverted racism to be shown against the indigenous
population of the UK.

Used to see the BBC as one of our great national assets, along with the Queen & bacon sandwiches.
But no more.
Its bias is so plain to see.
Its content so driven by its own post Savile insecurities //
The EU machine is foundering on the rocks. And the BBC is simply floundering.
Not BBC, but in the same vein.
I notice that Channel 4 are trailing a “programme” about the Australian bush fires.
The short trailer headlines that these fires are “unprecedented”, and “caused by climate change” – two outright lies before the programme has even been broadcast.

Groper would not know reality if it sat on his face.
But you would know it was PAndy Marr under the buttock cheeks cos his jug ears would still be visible either side.

What a horrible way to go!
When Tusk was interviewed by Marrxist this morning, Tusk stated that May had been trying to achieve Brexit without Brexit.
I know exactly what he means! She needs to be held to account for her delays of over two years.
I’m guessing that no one mentioned that the actual referendum result for Scotland was 1.6 million to remain but a million to leave . The latter don’t get much of a mention when it comes to the Biased BBC
The question of ‘held to account’ is an interesting one. Given the seriousness of the matter, its national importance and the need for ‘closure’ and to heal the wounds, some people are wondering whether we need something akin to the ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ commissions that have been held in countries such as Canada, Chile, Morocco, South Africa and others.
In the case of Britain, one important thing to ascertain relates to certain high-profile individuals in the political sphere, media, civil service, business and so on. Specifically: was that person sincere and acting on genuinely held convictions? Or, is there reasonable evidence that they were acting for or on behalf of foreign powers, individuals, groups, or other organisations?
The purpose of such a commission is to discover what happened and help heal the rifts in a society. It is not a witchhunt or show trial, or a mechanism for punishing those with ‘the wrong view’. However, depending on the findings, it may need to be supplemented with criminal trials for those who have done serious wrong, such as committed treason (see Crime and Global Justice: The Dynamics of International Punishment by Daniele Archibugi & Alice Pease, Polity Press, 2018).
Seems the BBC are creating a new lack of reality show with Adrian, Jo, Lewis, YAB, Champion Ash, Paul and Sweeney!

2) Muslim father faces prosecution for refusing to send his son to LGBT lessons. Is he right to resist?
Maajid’s thread I hope to address this abiding but inaccurate idea that Israel has “occupied Palestine” since 1948
OT, but a thread BBC Politics, Europe and Environmental Editors might care to follow. If they have the time.
Jim’s response seems to be saying that as we have now left we can no longer influence Germany. Obviously a Remainer. I would point out that Germany were doing these things while we were IN the Eu thereby demonstrating how little influence we, in reality, had. Cognitive dissonance from a Remainer and Greenie lol
Maybe they should send Greta over to hold Germany to account.
She doesn’t like their trains , D.
Jim clearly doesn’t get it does he. Germany basically saying “Do as I say not as I do”.
And so the anti British BBC continue with their propaganda campaign on behalf of the enemy. Be in no doubt these people are not our friends.
Tusk: “Sometimes I feel very Scottish, especially after Brexit.”
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab warned the comments could encourage “separatist tendencies” in the EU.
They were “rather un-European and rather irresponsible,” he added.

On Mark Lardell’s Sunday version of TWATo they had an actor speaking part of BoJo’s valedictory speech to the nation, the one Al Beeb refused to broadcast.
I reckon BoJo’s continuing strong stance about not encouraging our national treasure is paying off.
Insh’Allah!
World at one is to be renamed ‘rejoin at one ‘ as fatty Mardell rolls on a series of people who have made a living out of the ReichEU. Off switch . Just awful .
And the idea that the BBC would read the words of a British Prime Minster rather than play his recorded words really is asking for it as far as the BBC is concerned .
It’s like treating him a terrorist mouthpiece such as The pleasingly dead McGunness or Gerry Adams . One for OFCOM perhaps ?

#Thick was the hashtag that Wokemob used on the 31st against Brexiteers
.. Yet that same middleclass wokemob claim to to have massive empathy with foodbank users.
To me that is a strange paradox
cos having come home with £20 worth of food again last night for £2 cos it’s sell-by day
and having come home on Wednesday with a 1.6Kg chicken for 75p , after picking up a perfectly good cock-pheasant on the road
and having bought turkeys after Xmas for 10p/pound
.. it does seem to me that a good portion of foodbank users seem to be thick
cos they lack basic shopping skills and do spend money on scratchcards alcohol and huge dogs etc.
I personally wouldn’t DISMISS anyone as thick .. people can have all kinds of good qualities

Educating and informing kids inaccurately in a manner designed to wind them up seems an odd thing to be forced by the government to uniquely fund.

For now I channel my inner Katty:
BBC News

A man has been shot by police after a number of people are believed to have been stabbed in a “terror-related” incident in Streatham, south London.
BBC.COM
Man shot by police after stabbings in London
Doubtless much will unravel in due course, or not, along with another Sadiq video.
The link, which has many ‘quotes’.
https://bbc.in/2RPFIeC?
Anyone else noticing a change in tact with the way the Streatham terrorist incident is actually being reported as such? Also noted that the presenter on the live BBC news channel seemingly supporting the police in their decision to shoot the suspect and even explaining that this was understandable due to the fact that the suspect had something strapped to his body and that the police wouldn’t have known whether it could have detonated when disabling the perpetrator.
I think they know their time is up. Too little too late me thinks.
However, I did note that they didn’t want to show us any pictures of the dead terrorist because they were “distressing and upsetting in nature”
Distressing and upsetting to woke leftists I suppose who would be upset for the poor dead terrorist?
Personally, I don’t think there is anything distressing or upsetting about a DEAD terrorist.
BBC News anchorman is looking very uneasy and squirming when witnesses are calling in with their reports mentioning the word ‘terrorist’. At about 15:15 BBC were using the word “terrorist” with ease but by 15:40 it is now known as a “South London attack”. The editor must have been out of the building but normality has been restored.
It will take hours for the BBC to establish the facts so for those who cannot wait, here is the
