The BBC bosses in tow to a Government and right wing press have started to dig what could be a very deep hole. The likely outcome is that the BBC bosses will have to resign. The quicker the better as they clearly haven’t a clue how to implement their own impartial policy. Why did they need one in the first place?
A long list of BBC presenters who have also expressed critical political views.
I just wonder what would have happened if Lineker tweeted in support of Braverman?
Would he have been reprimanded by the BBC, the Tory press and the government?1 user thanked author for this post.
Indeed Lineker was speaking of a time BEFORE the Holocaust. Lineker is not a stupid person, for an ex footballer he’s quite intelligent. The current government are seeking to confuse the issue. We should all take these events as a warning.
It would not happen in Putin’s Russia.2 users thanked author for this post.
So the unions demanding inflation level pay rises are living in a fantasy land according to this Government.
But the mobile and internet providers have occupied the fantasy land as they are “contractually” able to increase prices by inflation 10ish% +3-7% based on what’s in the small print on your contract.
All allowed by this Government without any challenge on intervention.
Price rises clearly aren’t the “peoples priority”, a phrase being increasingly used to divert the “people” away from what really matters. It’s all the migrant’s fault.
And they use the now defunct RPI while any increase we might get is calculated using CPI.

Compelling series for those who might not have seen it. Events around the world are worryingly close.

As a Pink Floyd fan from the mid 60s I find his politics as odd. His relationship with the rest of the band is also odd.
Lost too many brain cells in the 60s?2 users thanked author for this post.
I believe that BBC News is left wing bias, as Tory bashing has been their way for as long as I can remember. I have to admit that I avoid this crap by simply not watching anymore. In fact I don’t bother with msm news anymore, so if it has changed since the Blair years, please let me know.
Thank you, I anticipate all manor of link requests and other such crap from the usual suspects. I will not reply, as I am the one asking the question here… LK
The BBC hammer all administrations if they fall short, and so they should. The Blair government was remorselessly challenged when appropriate, Harold Wilson hated the BBC.
It’s just that this present administration is notoriously thin skinned. It would really like to fully control the BBC.
Very Putinesque.3 users thanked author for this post.
It’s all money, and it stinks to high heaven.
Here we are, wallowing in poverty, and there they are, pigs in the trough.
I have no sympathy with any of them.2 users thanked author for this post.
Compared with other losses this season, Barnet did not run rings around us, they were resilient and took their chances. In a negative, we gave them those chances.
It’s the defence.2 users thanked author for this post.
