    And now it’s time for the latest edition of Spot the Difference on the biased BBC.

    BBC1 6 pm news. Lots of the usual bBBC coverage about ‘government U turns’. Twelve and counting, according to the coverage given to SirKeer.

    But when it comes to the announcement that the BBC is to allow lyrics to be sung at the Last Night of the Proms, why………the BBC has simply ‘changed its mind’.

    You say U turn and I say mind change.
    Let’s call the whole BBC off.

        I have a guilty confession to make. I have sinned. Despite all my brave words about going to prison for The Cause I have signed the dreaded form from the TV license Mob.
        After finding out from The Mob’s website that over 75s cannot change the name of the license holder and on being held in a headlock by Mrs Wright-who is a telly addict- I signed the bloody form. Well domestic peace is important at my time of life.
        I can only pin my hopes on the common sense of the -we are told – conservative/Conservative? Mr. Davie to make some very much needed changes to the BBC output and outlook because to me, it is an unwatchable Marxist propaganda outfit and certainly it is an anti white heterosexual male outfit.

      Let’s get this clear. Socialists, as opposed to Communists, seem to want to live in a Capitalist environment so that a Socialist government can squeeze the golden goose until the pips squeak.
      Well,in my experience, the golden goose has wings and will depart well before the said pips are squeaked.
      However – just as I, once very stupidly hoped, the Marxists now have gained control of the worldwide Capitalist system. Hence the NEWSPEAK which is unmistakable. The “WOKE “people are living in a dream.
      Socialism is just Communism in slo-mo.
      When these youngster grow up they will have regrets.

      youngsters do not have that amount of time. They need to wake up NOW!!

        Lefty.
        Serious discussive point here which is worth exploring.

        Back in the Corbyn/ Mcdonnell era it was suggested to me that most Tories, the Lib Dems, and the Social Democratic part of Labour were essentially on a continuum. This was acceptance, with degrees of reluctance, in the market economy and capitalist system. The differences arising were in the levels of regulation and the amount of taxation, size of state, and wealth redistribution. Imagine a train that could go up and down a single train line.

        The Corbyn/ Mcdonnell/ Momentum/ XR/ BLM lot are not on this line. They are socialists and they reject the market economy and capitalism. In favour of a collective statist economy. In that regard, Socialism, Marxism, and Communism are all on a different continuum, on another train line.

        There is of course one glaring exception to this neat description. China. But my breakfast awaits…….

          With the Left, in all of it’s guises, it has always been about seizing power and living like royalty, at the expense of the public purse. They abuse the working class in the way that they accuse ‘capitalists’ of doing. The Tories eventually return to power and clean up their mess and the cycle continues.

    I very rarely watch the BBC TV news, but 2 days ago I did and was struck by the fact that Catty had 2 guests in the studio to comment on the US election campaign: both were strongly anti-Trump and got the softest of questioning.

    Tonight I watched again, and there was only one guest commentator: a Democratic ‘strategist and party chair for S Carolina’.

    Maybe i’ve just been unlucky, but so far that’s 3 out of 3 highly biased interviewees – and interviews.

    (Earlier in the bulletin our Catty had tried desperately to get a Conservative MP to criticise Trump’s approach to Russia but he sidestepped the trap completely.)

            From Rebel News in Canada:
            Patrick Brown, Mayor of Ontario closed down all the hockey arenas because of, you guessed it, the virus scam.
            David Menzies of Rebel News discovered said mayor secretly using one of the locked down arenas to stage hockey matches with his mates. An obvious abuse of power.

            Result: David Menzies is arrested while reporting on the matter in a public place.

              Contexts : over the weeks Menzies would get tip offs that Mayor Brown was coming to play
              So he’d show up with a camera crew
              Brown would claim that he was just passing by etc.
              And get security to evict Menzies using the excuse “you are trespassing”
              The last few times that was in the car park
              And Menzies would refuse saying “I’m a reporter and this is public space not private property.”

              They gave him a warning.
              This time they expected to get arrested Ezra went down as well pockets empty, ready.
              The camera crews and top lawyer were with them.
              The 3 cars of private security called in 5 cars of police
              … even though there had been a recent mass shooting attempt at a local funeral and the gun man was still on the lose.
              The police ignored Ezra and made for Menzies, and put him in a cop car
              .. all the time the lawyer arguing this is illegal.
              The friendly cop arrests him and serves him with a $65 ticket for trespass, tells him he’s free to go ..and says I’ll get you off this property shall I drive you to your car down the street ?
              Menzies says yes.
              But when the cop radios the boss, it becomes apparent that they don’t want a photo of a journo being driven off in a cop car. So they make him get out and walk.

              Ezra is furious and says f**k the $65 fine
              They’ll spend $65,000 fighting and take it all the way to the top court.

    BBC Latest ‘anger over’ Moaning Emole

    ***
    Anger over ‘demise of UK aviation’

    France and Germany are already testing some arrivals for coronavirus at airports. However, while a trial is under way at London Heathrow, the practice has not been endorsed by the UK government. Leading figures in the aviation industry are frustrated. Derek Provan, chief executive of AGS Airports, which runs Southampton, Aberdeen and Glasgow, says ministers are “overseeing the demise of UK aviation”. And Virgin Atlantic chief executive Shai Weiss argues testing is essential to ensure the “free and fast travel” with the US that would help kick-start the economy. Like travellers from any country not deemed “low risk”, passengers arriving from the US are currently required to self-isolate for 14 days. A Department for Transport spokesman says the approach to quarantine remains “under constant review” and points to “unprecedented support” for the industry in the form of loans, tax deferrals and the furlough scheme.

    TOADY Watch #1 – A Novelty

    Alexei Navalny is headline news this morning. The Germans claim he has been poisoned by a Novichok. The BBC get careless with their language with Frank Gardner ignoring the translation of Novichok. It means ‘a new thing’ and describes a portfolio of extreme poisons said to have been developed in part of Soviet Russia during the Cold War era.

    The BBC complaint against Russia? They deny and obfuscate. Oh! Really? Exactly like the BBC, then.

        I had to laugh out loud how in the longer TOADY item on this today that the police and security services were praised for identifying the culprits in the Salisbury poisoning. Er, actually no. I seem to recall that they were identified by a small internet activist group called Bellingcat.

    TOADY Watch #2 – Anarchy in the UK

    Yesterday, a legal challenge. Today, a legal challenge. Challenges to Government. Challenges to governance. Lawyers get rich. The taxpayer becomes poorer. Government and governance becomes paralysed, tied up in knots of red tape. The US and EU wrapped up and dumped all over the UK. Guido reveals that the challenge yesterday from relatives of people who have died from Covid-19 was in fact driven by a Momentum activist or activists.

    Who is to blame? The Blair administration is certainly a prime candidate as it was stuffed with lawyers. A lawyer, after all, is currently leading the Labour Party. In truth it was predicted in the 1960s and 1970s and has been happening for decades. Margaret Thatcher’s stupid and ill-fated experiment on the UK with the Community Charge was probably a pivotal moment when anarchy first had results.

    We have seen how diversion, delay and incompetence at Civil Service and public body leadership level can subvert and divert governance, whether good or less so.

    This could be the new normal. The UK ruled, ultimately, by Spider Women sitting in a courthouse.

    Apparently this morning we wake up to a Land of Hope and Glory – or so a Times headline would have us believe: ‘Britannia rules: BBC reverses Proms ban’, the Daily Star is a little more forthright: ‘If you’re a BBC luvvie best look away now, Britannia rules OK , bedwetters forced into Proms U-turn’

    One might say be thankful for small mercies – the fact that the BBC has stepped back from what would have been an outrageous attack on a national institution is cold comfort. The supposedly reluctant U-turn from a policy over-reach is a recognised political distraction techique.

    That particular vehicular analogous political manoeuvre seems all the rage with the Guardian today happy to be trumpeting the PM’s bumbling policy woes: ‘Johnson’s bid to calm Tory anger at U-turns’

    The FT serves up a dollop of financial reality: ‘Johnson and Sunak warn of tough economic outlook and rising taxes’ – some might say Laurel and Hardy were warned of that by us civilians when they did the lockdown and splashed the cash they didn’t have.

    The Metro admits ‘The exams could have been held’ – well that’s another fine mess they’ve gotten us into…

    The Telegraph picks up the general air of disappointment with Boris: ‘Campaign to get Britain back to work flounders’

    The uban commuter throwaway Metro hints at why the schools closure was so damaging since in the week the schools reluctantly reopen we see: ‘Chancellor takes the tube as capital sees passenger numbers rising at last’

    People on the move…

    The Telegraph has: ‘Record 400 migrants cross the Channel in one day’ – is this akin to people in life boats clambering aboard the Titanic, we wonder?

    The Times blames ‘Home Office exposed over failings on immigration’

    The Mirror applauds BBC star Gary Lineker for his generous gesture: ‘Why refugee is coming to live with me’ – and the other 399? And that was just yesterday’s crop… and that was just the one’s we know about… and that was just the ones that came by boat…

    ‘Every little helps’ or so claims the Tesco advert on the Mirror front page ‘For more weekly little helps turn to page 2’ – we don’t do that here, we just read the front page headlines as supplied by our BBC on-line news page – with a cynical eye and certain degree of dismay.

    Speaking of which ‘Megha-bucks! Harry and Meghan’s £75m Netflix deal’ read all about it in the Express – personally I’ll make a point of missing that horror show.

    Coincidentally, also in the Express: ‘Rishi vows: no tax horror show’

    So where’s the money coming from? In unrelated news the piss-poor Guardian has: ‘Caught short? Inside the ‘shewee’ revolution’

Once the Charter is renewed they back track and revert to normal. You only have to look at the over 75 TV licence promises to see the playbook. To me they are like a political party at election time. Make loads of promises in the manifesto and renege or drag it out once elected.

    Extinction Rebellion clearly have the wrong name. Exhibitionist Rebellion might be better, as these pampered middle class pillocks disport themselves, having a nice comfy, well heeled tantrum.

    But they’re not really rebels either, are they? The green agenda is now completely mainstream. It’s not just luvvies and eccentric far left politicians these days, it’s at the heart of government. The bloody prime minister is a greenie. You’d risk your political career if you so much as mumbled dissent at the prospect of impending biblical floods and pestilence. It would take a brave politician…and there aren’t many of those…that said “Actually polar bears are doing really rather well.” This isn’t a rebellion, it’s a new religion and you resist it at your peril.

    So I reckon that “Establishment Conformity” would be a much more accurate name. Okay, it doesn’t roll off the tongue quite so blithely and it lacks the kudos of pretending to be a rebel. But it’s much more honest.

    And I have a question about this movement…

      £100 million to be spent on increasing ‘diversity and inclusivity’, in an organisation which is already vastly over-represented by so many ‘minority’ employees ?????

      This really needs to be spent on increasing diversity of thought, political stance, and non-politically-correct viewpoints. And it should not be paid for out of a forced taxation for one specific, uncontrolled, organisation.

      Comedy shows are not the real issue, no matter how much these liberal thinkers want us to believe it is.

      She’s trying to re-invent herself as a serious interrogator . It was clearly obvious she didn’t like Sophie Ridge having her name as the title show on a Sunday, so she’s being pushed as a heavyweight – well, with that scary face I wouldn’t want her babysitting my kids (if I had any).

    An unarmed black man died in New York state after he was hooded by police and held face down to the road for two minutes, body camera footage shows.

    Daniel Prude, 41, was suffering from mental health issues when police restrained him in March and put a “spit hood” on his head, designed to protect officers from a detainee’s saliva.

    He later died of asphyxiation but his story has only now been made public.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54007884

    So he died, no one has been charged over hiis death, much less found guilty, nevertheless the BBC front page reads

    US black man killed in police “spit hood” restraint

      “He died in hospital a week later”

      Overnight headline “Daniel Prude: NY black man died after police pinned him down”

      Changed at 7:30am to “Daniel Prude: New York police used ‘spit hood’ on man who died of asphyxiation”
      https://www.newssniffer.co.uk/articles/1994225/diff/1/2

      BBC Tagged it “George Floyd death”

      The HIDDEN clickbait title is
      “US black man *killed* in police ‘spit hood’ restraint”
      Well if he died a week late , he wasn’t killed when he was in the spit hood.

        Spithood case update : Ben Shapiro video
        The guy was a naked loony in the winter.
        The spithood freaked him
        The medic came down and used the knee to subdue him
        He ended up dying
        BTW the BBC edited their page to remove the phrase about him dying a week later.. so I don’t know the time of death.
        The police commissioner who is black says there is no cover up.

        I see a pattern : His black family acted honourably.
        Floyd’s lot just screamed and screamed right at the start
        the result is, they took all the ground before anyone could point out he was a drugged up felon
        .. who of course should not have died.

    Not BBC – but an interesting one .

    An American journalist wrote a piece about Mrs Trump which was published in the Telegraph . Surprisingly it was pretty ‘anti’ and contained a number of ‘claims’ which is BBC speak for ‘lies’ .
    Mrs Trump sought , and got, an apology from the Telegraph and ‘substantial damages ‘ .

    This is wher it gets interesting /funny . The American woke journo then sues The Telegraph for defamation – and loses .

    The judge said that the journo wasn’t directly named in the Telegraph Written published apology – and if I can paraphrase – shouldn’t be so touchy because she wrote a load of lies .

    Can but hope it cost said journo / NUJ – a lot of money …..

    Elsewhere – Gary linneker has said that he could put up as many as a thousand illegal third world invaders – in his French Home -……. this may all be a lie – some say —it has been said -‘could ‘…..

    Now that luvvie Gary has put up the illegal ( crime ?)
    This site would like to invite all the other luvvies and lefty politicians who have said they will also take in an illegal .

    Obviously such ‘illegals ‘ will be carefully health checked and speak perfect English . Other necessary requirements are the ability to clean, iron , cook , gardening , DIY and other such duties ….

      Has Mr Linker said how long he is allowing this illegal to live with him? Is it more than one night? Just long enough for a photo opportunity? Surely, Mr L will be so taken with the illegal that he’ll adopt him. Or marry him.

      “In January 2019 the Daily Telegraph was forced to apologize and pay “substantial damages”
      for publishing an article written by Nina Burleigh
      titled “The Mystery of Melania”
      that the Telegraph admitted contained numerous falsehoods.”

      “While the apology did not identify the Claimant, Ms Burleigh contended that the apology to the First Lady was defamatory of her. ”
      Judge said ….NO

      That would be a weird legal principle if it went the other way
      A newspaper prints a libel against a small person, but can’t afford to backdown cos a big man journalist will sue them for defamation.

    Has anybody noticed the BBC’s constant attack of an organisation called QAnon? They seem to refer to it as some sort of US far right conspiracy theory neo-nazi group that are evil and must be destroyed.

    I only ever heard of it from the prominence given to it by the BBC. For example today the BBC have it as a featured article which is headlined on their homepage, their news homepage, their world news homepage and in every news related article.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-53997203

    From glancing only at the BBC headlines over the past weeks it appears to be part of the BBC’s all out campaign against Donald Trump.

    So the self-righteous jug eared goal-hanging knobcheese known as Gary Lineker has finally come good on his promise to house a “migrant” and the snowflakes are creaming in their collective y-fronts at just how much of a saint he is and how he is showing us racist gammon what it is to be human.

    The whole thing makes me want to puke.

    A few things to note:

    1. Saint Gary is keen to point out that he is helping “on a temporary basis” – sorry Gaz but these parasites aren’t just here for a holiday, they’re planning on being here for good. What happens when your “temporary” arrangement with your guest comes to an end? Where does he/she go after you’ve turfed him/her out? Does your responsibility end when the warm glow of your self created woke limelight fades? That’s not what happens in real life matey, if these people are allowed to stay then the UK must support them and their offspring forever – a dog is for life, not just for Christmas…

    2. Saint Gary has proclaimed that he will have a migrant in his house “within weeks” – why does it take so long from his first proclamation that he was going to do it until it actually happening?

    3. Why only one? There are hundreds of these people arriving every day – surely there’s room in your Surrey mansion to house more than one? In the same way that us normal folk in northern working class towns have been overrun then surely you should have one in every room of your house and the garage and garden shed too – only then will you realise the true extent of the claustrophobia felt by the general public.

    4. Do you have a 14 year old neice/family friend who’d also like to come and stay – preferably in the next bedroom? Would you be happy to leave your guest in the house alone with your girlfriend?

    5. Who will choose which illegal immigrant you get? Will it be a carefully selected candidate matched to suit your personality or will it be randomly selected? Or better still, maybe you will let me choose who you get?

    I used to admire Gary’s qualities as a goal scorer but I now look at him with double the disdain with which he would see me.

    TAKE AIM, THEN FIRE: When a faulty gas main blew up in Windermere and damaged a holiday cottage, Britain’s right-wing tabloids were quick to pin the blame on Hezbollah. True or false? The BBC’s Man in the Middle East, Jeremy Bowen (real name Harry Yaxley-Markle) was sent to investigate. Night-time meetings with secret contacts took place at a succession of “safe houses,” including the King’s Arms in Lancaster, the Green Man in Nottingham, the Old Cider House in Gloucester and the Battered Mullet in Folkestone, enabling Bowen to piece together the whole extraordinary story. In tonight’s pre-recorded interview, he reveals what really happened: the explosion was caused by a top-secret Sausage 3 missile, fired from Israel into Gaza but nudged off course by “unidentified waves” emanating from the Fu Manchu Mountains of central China.
    UPDATE: Jeremy likes the clinic and is said to be “comfortable.”
