Regarding the recent bus attack with those two lesbians photographed with bloody faces......Well, the verdict is in....here is the BBC's take.

[Link]

What I find troubling about this article is that it omits the details of what happened here in favour of focusing upon the verdict.....which I think is so so...well as reported anyway.

These teenagers are obviously arseholes and I'd say they do deserve some community work.....however they didn't start the physical confrontation that resulted in their injuries.

The blonde walked to them and started hitting one in the face, then they were beaten up. The footage shows this. They could have got off, they weren't being blocked.

The article completely omits this. Also comments made by this couple were clearly manipulative in the national press and didn't detail their part in this violence.

The BBC's journalist plays along and the nuance of what happened is omitted.

The BBC enlarging the 'diversity industry' again.....it's completely ridiculous.....What the feck is a 'director for creative diversity'.....other than....errr..just don't employ white people and pat people who aren't white on the back.

This is anti white social engineering with public money.

It seems some of the lyrics offended the little luvvies and darlings. People who have less sense of humour than a filing cabinet at the Soviet Communist Party.

When the song came out “scumbag” was far more offensive than the word that’s causing the problem.
Is “Transfer window” offensive to trans people?

This article is disgusting. It's beyond fecking words.....She's a murderer and they soft focus it.

If that had been a man who had murdered an emotionally abusive woman this article would never have been written.

Johnson now hinting he might cancel the licence fee, Boris you are such a tease if only I believed you.

I suspect that the Tories if they win will use this threat to force the BBC to fund the over 75 pensioners, the BBC will agree reluctantly and the threat goes away. The government may also decriminalise non payment of the license fee some 25% of local court time is taken up with this.

To be honest the BBC's position has been underminded by their own actions. Their basic argument is that they are an independent public broadcaster and should not carry advertising or subscription as this will jeopardise their neutrality / independence.

So having put forward their need to remain above the nasty commercial world the BBC then happily allows advertising on it's website outside of the UK, adverts on its TV services outside the UK and a subscription service for BBC America. Plus it has a commercial arm selling programs etc around the world.

And now the BBC has launched Britbox in the UK which is a commercial subscription service selling the poor old punter old TV shows which we have already seen and paid for.

Now you could argue that the BBC is simply preparing itself for the inevitable but it does undermine their basic arguement.

The big money in advertising is from global corporations. If you don't want to accept adverts from the Costapacket Coffee Corporation in the UK because you are running an investigation into their dodgy practices why do you accept them outside of the UK.

However the BBC wants to run with the fox and the hounds a bad strategy and one which will eventually come unstuck.

wouldn't it be lovely if Boris stuck the dagger into the BBC ? now that his majority in the Commons is strong.

Badger did a good post on this earlier in the thread.

It's red meat to the Tory base but it's unlikely to happen.

However, I would, if I were Johnson take a good look at removing Lord Hall......the biggest prat ever to run it.

Stick a proper Tory in to run the BBC....it'll give those feckers a frigging heart attack.

The BBC has made a few unwelcome changes. Firstly it is doing away with it's teletext type service on the red button which is very annoying as I use it to catch up with news and sports headlines if I miss News At Ten and secondly they seem to have done away with the customisation of their website so that instead of picking and choosing which sections are of interest to you and hiding the rest we now have to plough through the whole lot.

Is this progress?

If it's something that buggers up a good system that's worked well for years, you can bet it's called 'progress'

Decriminalising non payment of the BBC tax seems to be gathering ground.

[Link]

I want to abolish the licence fee completely but even if you are a fan of the BBC there is some merit in this.

Something like 25% of magistrate cases relate to non payment they are clogging up the system and given criminal records to many people who would not normally be considered a criminal.

Whilst a few hardcore refuse to pay for political reasons the vast majority are related to financial problems.

Non payment should be treated the same as a utility bill.

I think this is the opening salvo the BBC is on borrowed time.

Good points.

Johnson has ordered a review of the license fee and I think that should be one of its outcomes.

The state of affairs where the BBC have been allowed to effectively make leaving them very difficult is outrageous.

By the way, whatever happens to the BBC it's currently in a death spiral. It doesn't matter whether it's news / current affairs, wildlife programs or Dr Who the whole mess is poisoned by the same urbane, condescending, worthy, virtue signalling, feminized, anti nation state, race baiting, LGBTXYZ, politically correct and ultimately extremely narrow minded and divisive ideology.

I can't see a point where they finally realize that liberalism is not democracy. It's just another option you can vote for.

Also, you can find a ton of people on alternative media that runs ratings around their talent pool.
