Nigel Farage hits the nail on the head:
“This olive oil ban was virgin on the ridiculous.”
Bill Quango MP says:
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
And the victims are being ignored and discredited.
Good thing someone like Prezza will be in charge of his local police force tho….
How would you like a taste of my truncheon m’lad?
Victims being ignored and discredited? Shurely shome mishtake?
And what about the BBC’s green reporter Moonbat based at their Guardian print center or ITV’s chavette Mrs Bercow living underneath Big Ben and above Little John?
Monbiot bleating in his abject apology about ‘trying to do good..’ Maybe this episode will give him puase to consider the evil he is doing by perpetrating the global warming/climate change/whatever-it-is-calling-itself-this-week farce.
Probably not. Moonbat “knows” he’s right and the rest of us are wrong.
With all due respect, people jump on bandwagons.I would rather everybody was genuine.
I take it 81lly as you wish to be first all the time, that you are a top?
I understand any compensation due to Lord McAlpine from the BBC is to be paid from our Telly Tax.
If so, that means any motoring fines I now get can be paid from my Road Tax contributions.
Ha, Ha.
It would be really funny if at the end of all this it turns out the BBC fucked itself trying to deflect attention away from Muslim men abusing kids to a white bloke abusing kids.
A white bloke who they seem to have forgot worked at the BBC for 40 years Duh!
Several hideously Caucasian males – they were very quick to name the retired Bishop the other day, yet slow to mention that the guy pick up in Cambridgeshire was a former Beeboid producer.
‘Attempts to suppress the truth are not new in Rochdale.
The culture of cover up reaches back much further than the recent grooming scandal’
AlJaBeebya tried to propagandise EVERY program to include some CAGW faith content, so it’s very likely they’d also censor other anti-narrative news.
What has Tom Watson got to say about the media making serious allegations in an attempt to destroy a political party? He seemed very upset when Murdoch stopped supporting Labour. I’m sure he’ll have something to say about this.
Tom?
Enjoy the silence – the big fat hypocrite will try to park his lard arse on the moral high ground again shortly
That’s funny. Don’t we want our politicians to have ‘morals’?
Watson doesn’t give a damn about morality, and probably has little idea what the word means. He’s only out for self-publicity and to push propaganda rooted entirely in his small-minded political dogma.
Well said Tom.
Indeed, 1984. Ditto about that self-appointed keeper of the country’s morals, Underpants Bryant? Their ‘Leader’ Schnorbitz has been very quiet on the subject, too, despite being very exercised about Milly Dowler, to the point of dancing on her g’rave. How odd…
It’s almost as if Labour (and the BBC’s) interest in p*a*e*d*o s only extended as far as they could tie it around the neck of the Tories. A less generous person might conclude that the only reason this matter was brought up in the first place was for purely party political advantage.
I’m sure that no serious political party would pretend to be concerned about p*a*e*d*o’s just to start a witch-hunt that they thought they could confine to the political opposition.
I was sickened the was schnorbs revelled in the Millie Dowler situation.
What took them so long??
And when they have a moment perhaps they could find the time for a look at this:
http://www.thecommentator.com/article/2051/bbc_bias_in_the_run_up_to_police_and_crime_commissioner_elections
Unsurprising. The BBC Midlands TV News is a daily slagging off of the Government every single night. They don’t even try to be impartial.
Then they can be shut down. No problem.
Just voted. UKIP for me. Unfortunately, due to the poor publicity, when I got there I discovered that it seemed to be one of those unpleasant EU style alternative vote things. I realised afterwards I could just have left the alternative blank, but in the ballot box, stupidly put my second cross on the damned Conservative.
Voted earlier….about 9.45.
Voter number 13.
Delighted to find that Labour trougher Alun Michael has abandoned his constituents in Cardiff South and Penarth in order to boost his pension pot by standing in South Wales for this non-position. Five thousand or so Somali postal votes should see him safely home. And what’s this? His son’s standing for Labour in North Wales. Ker-ching!
By “it’s all kicking off”, surely you mean “this will go on and on and on, talk talk talk, until the public lose the will to live whenever the subject is mentioned”?
thats it in one
I see OFCOM think they are able to, and are empowered, to investigate publication on social media?
Really?
Go piss up a rope chaps.
“and are empowered”
Kerrrrching!
Mission creep.
What you got on your computer, little man?
Mr Close chunters on about standards and then signs his letter off with a careless illegible scribble. Looks like some standards for one lot and another set for others. I find such signatures somewhat insulting, but then again, the letter was not addressed to me.
She’s not the sharpest tool in the box. Oh, and she eats too much.
The BBC “28 Gate” must be investigated too.
And The Balen Report into BBC bias against Israel published in full.
And the soft loans from the EU to the BBC made public – in full.
And the Union pilgrims working at the BBC made public – in full.
And the TV Poll Tax scrapped and made voluntary for those who want the BBC.
“And the TV Poll Tax scrapped and made voluntary for those who want the BBC.”
Look, I think it’s right and proper that everyone is forced to buy a product they don’t want, or use, from a company that promotes my beloved EU.
Now, I’m very busy – Abu Qatada wants a bigger house, so I’ve got to find one for him, and then I’m going to bang on about gay marriage for another two and a half years, to the exclusion of doing anything else.
Toodle pip!
Seems reasonable to me, cnut chops! We were in for the full 13-year fcuk up, and we did fcuck all about it as well!!
Simple to do, we and Sky are already to go with the conditional access and now cover 100% of the viewing public.
Sandra, ask Mr Wilson to write on your behalf if you are too busy trying to balance the books.
The BBC Trust has to go.
Put it all under OFCOM.
No, feck that – just privatise the damn thing – make it compete.
The BBC stifles innovation across all platforms worldwide because it has an unfair financial advantage.
The BBC is a dinosaur that is holding progressive innovation & investment in broadcast media back.
Tell me about it. I tried, but can you do in Marxist Britain?
With the present Government forever banging on about how much they love the BBC, and how no-one should interfere with its ‘independence’, I don’t think there’s much chance of OFCOM ever being allowed to adjudicate complaints of BBC political bias. And even if it did, don’t you think that the Establishment would always make sure that there was a Labour placeman in charge, like there is now (Richards)?
> just privatise the damn thing
Mutual society owned by subscribers who elect the board might be preferred.
Back catalogue held in a separate company, and (mostly) owned by BBC pension scheme, with no state liability.
“across all platforms”?
Are you after my job madam?
I think we should have a national massdebate about this.
O dear, look what I’ve started.
I’ve started so I’ll finish.
Oh dear. Not you too?
Can you finish, at your age?
janet – tak o’er will you lassie – while i’m changing hands
And why isn’t Bercow launching an investigation into Tom Watson? If a tory had made the same allegation Bercow would have been all over it.
Bercow has allegation problems closer to home than Tom Watson. He is, as they say, conflicted. He can’t discipline Watson without drawing fire on his charming wife.
Perhaps the deputy speaker could be encouraged to step up.
‘Ere, doncha go castin’ asbershins ’bout me. I ain’t dun no nuffin not I ain’t.
Say anyfink more and i’ll farkin’ well smash yer farkin’ face in, I will, so I am.
{sent from my husband’s free ipad}
He’ll give you short shrift.
He is currently preoccupied with tying up the loose IPSA blocking details.
Guido -OT
But I am surprised that this escaped beneath your radar
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/nov/08/arrest-west-ham-tottenham-olympic-stadium
So we are now in a “surveillance” society
Where even public bodies are criminally “investigated” ?
Or has generalised criminality just overwhelmed London now?
Normally there would be outrage at this sort of carry on…
And 3 more arrested
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-14/three-men-arrested-in-london-olympic-spying-case-police-say.html
WTF is going on?
The emails must have been passed over by the FBI?
The BBC must be broken up. Too big, too powerful, too unnaccountable to the people. Make it accountable to the people via the free market. Lets see it try to insert its cultural marxism into every facet of its output if it has to make a living.
Can we provide any assistance ?
Abu Qatada to leave Wembley? Radical clerk is reportedly not happy in his £400,000 house in northwest London http://www.theweek.co.uk/uk-news/abu-qatada/50107/abu-qatada-asks-move-house-taxpayers-expense#ixzz2CHm7d01z …
Taking the piss as per usual I see.
Why isn’t Qatada and his family made to get jobs. If they want to stay in this country then they should work.
Indeed.
We are willing to train him as a trainee Halal burger flipper.
Would you really want him working for your company?
I’m a little confused – I can understand that we’ve got Al Qaeda terrorists in the country, because we’ve been flooded with immigrants (well done, politicians, nice one!), but why is the government compounding this serious error by spending £100,000 per week protecting one of them? And giving him £1,900 per month to rent a house?
If the government can’t keep terrorists out – indeed, they let terrorists in and then protect them – what exactly is the point of our government?
There is no point. The government doesn’t even do the first and main point of having a government, which is protecting its citizens and their way of life. That is why so many people are fed up.
Yes, but it’s time they were given the message. The public is too apathetic. It needs to start marching and full-on civil obedience but not in a way that is exploited by the reds. Leaders are needed. Charismatic, fed-up leaders who can speak truth to power and are willing to do so.
I don’t get this.
A security guard outside his house to keep the nutters away – £500 a week tops. If it’s not enough then tough. We did try.
And didn’t the government cap housing benefit at £500 a week or something.
Does Quatada get special treatment or what?
Of course he does.
Anything else would be waaayyyyyciiiiiiissssstttttt.
Move to KatyPriceland.
Plenty of large houses in Jordan, so he can move there. The air fares been payed and enough room for rest of family.
have to take my hat of to the Scottish ‘syndicate’ freemasons for their recent nationwide successes recently.
10/10 (and counting).
If Philip Schofield had an ounce of decency he would resign. If Tom Watson had an ounce of decency it would be a miracle.
As you say, ‘if he had an ounce of decency’….
There must be an ounce of decency in there somewhere. The trouble is, there are so many ounces to search through.
It’s beginning to sound like Phillip ‘Perry Mason’ Schofield didn’t act alone. I was under the impression he’d taken it upon himself, in a righteous fit, to blind-side the PM with this list but the disciplining of a number of other ITV staff suggests it might not have all been entirely his idea.
He strikes me as too thick to have many ideas of his own. Even bad ones.
+1
You can guarantee Labour’s exhumed McBride gambit and that slug Watson are connected somewhere, Keep digging.
I still dont know what possessed Schofield, did he seriously think that the PM needed a tv presenter to give him a list it took him 3 minutes to find on line ? has he spoken about it, at all ?
You can take the Schofield out of the BBC but you can’t take the BBC out of the Schofield.
But how can thus be? The BBC is always telling us that it is the envy of the world.
For your legal team, our correspondence address is: CCHQ, 30 Millbank, London. SW1P 4DP
Watson and Bercow’s wife are maintaining Twitter silence.
Can’t help feeling that short arse is regretting his better half’s Twitter comeback.
Watson and Bercow’s wife are pure scum. Do not let anyone kid you otherwise.
I am surpised that anyone thinks that dealing with Ofcom is worth a candle. We shall see.
Who is Derek Laud and what is his link to everyone who made the news in the last few weeks and what was his link to a dead DJ?
And let’s have an investigation into why the Chilcot Report has been withheld while you are at it…
What is the point in having expensive enquiries when they are suppressed?
Buying time. Worth every penny
Inconvenient findings, obviously.
It came to the wrong conclusion, so they’ll have to start again.
Like the referenda on the European Constitution – keep running the votes until the plebs reach the correct verdict.
We won’t be reporting this either………….
How the MPs must love this BBC bashing. Meanwhile back at the ranch Bercow is installing placemen at IPSA to produce the final paper on MPs salaries, expenses, pensions etc. At the other place, Lords, who previously have been discredited/locked up, for fraud are leaping back into the expenses pot with gay abandon (no slur intended m’lord).
Elsewhere OFGEM have proved to be a total waste of space, full stop, in their control of the industry. They do not even have David Attenborough documentaries to point to in their defence.
Come on Guido keep your eye on the ball.
3 minutes online to cook up a list of alleged evil Tories.
Yes, that’s the Mainstream Media we hear a lot about, with their standards, multiple layers of fact checking and their dignity.
Chumps.
Schofield is only a puppet. We need to know who put him up to it. ITV must tell the truth and state the names of all involved. If ITV don’t they can never be trusted again.
Results of OFCOM investigations:
Newsnight: Did not actually name Lord McAlpine so case dismissed
This Morning: Schofield did not intend for the list to be read by viewers so case dismissed
Move along…
Considering how many ex-BBC people are now safely ensconced at Ofcom – how on earth are they going to manage to undertake a fully objective investigation? We are in the situation, where in all probability, Ofcom needs regulating by OfOfCom, especially with regards to who they hire and allow to sit on their advisory committees.
Remove the fucking license to broadcast from the BBC
That will put them out of their agony
And save us BILLIONS of spondoolicks
PS and remove the banking licenses from the usual banking suspects at the same time, that will save us TRILLIONS of spondoolicks….
Please keep a sence of proportion!
Are we getting this matter out of all proportion, of course it was wrong what Newsnight and This Morning did but please, in the scheme of things, it’s nothing by comparison to MPs’ expenses’ fiddles, phone hacking by newspaper journalists and the 138000 indictable offences commited in 2007 where the offender was given only a police caution.
Lord McAlpine is a wholly innocent man who will be fully compensated for the wrong against him whereas the 138000 victims of the indictable offences mentioned above have no such comfort.
See Peter Hitchins blog for more…
And still Tom Watson gets away with his lies. Watson is pure scum using the abused to suit his own sick agenda.
Ed Richards is, of course, a Tony crony that is how he got the job. I seem to remember it was given to him as compensation for another job he didn’t get. Ex-BBC of course. I feel another ‘Hutton’ coming up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Richards_(chief_executive)
Who is Ray Teret?
(apart from being a DJ).
You can see they are all ex-BBC as the letter is signed by the ‘Director of Standards’ Well done Lord Birt you have added a whole new dimension to the English language.
four (scanned) pages from an edition of scallywag magazine are now doing the rounds on the internet. if anyone is interested in seeing them, well form a orderly queue under this post and i shall get back to you.
What has a dead DJ, a dead DJ’s former flatmate (an arrested DJ) and every other name, named over the last few weeks have in common?
Who is on the membership list of the ‘speculative’ freemasons in Scotland, the most powerful secret organisation in the world?
A question Jeremy Vine does not ask: “Are you a member of a Scottish freemason lodge?”
We are all getting our knickers in a twist with your Cleudo game!
*Cluedo
Was Thomas Hamilton (Dunblane) in the ‘speculative’ lodge based in Scotland?
Was the man who signed off his gun licence in the same lodge?
Was a senior Scottish Tory (minister) in the same lodge?
A dead DJ?
A few Tory Lords (one issuing threats)?
Two senior Labour ‘ministers’ (now retired from the front line?
A Labour Lord (friend of Gaddafi boys)?
Mr. La*d (likes to go on holiday with ex Tory boys)?
What is the link between the ‘speculative lodge’ and care homes in North Wales and Jersey?
How long will it take the public to realise that arrogant MP’s and political parties – who do nothing but rob the people of this country , are loving this deflection from real political problems and solutions . They may even throw a few of the fold to the wolves but keep the body safe ! Get rid of the lot – possible run the country by lottery – or let the queen run it – cant be worse than these monkeys in charge right now !
After interviewing NO witnesses and looking at NO evidence the inquiry will find no cause for further investigation, the final report will of course be kept secret in order to protect the wholly innocent BBC employees whose only crime was to be eager to bring news worthy stuff to the attention of the British people who love the BBC more than life itself.
As a recent BBC poll found, 99.9% of every single person on the planet would gladly lay down their lives for the BBC. The only people really to blame are of course the Tories, it is they who hang their heads in shame for trying to make capitol out of this for their own gain. Typical Tory exploiters playing the victim card, the scum.
Baroness the Rt Hon Veracity Hardone JCB CRB KGB and bar
Why is that retard Schofield still in a job
the cover up continues
