The BBC sticks with trivia



Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to set out his decision later on the findings of an inquiry into the conduct of Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Sources familiar with the Cabinet Office report told the BBC it concluded Ms Patel broke rules on ministers' behaviour.

She has always strongly denied allegations of bullying.

Labour said the prime minister appeared to be involved in a "cover up" and called for the report to be published.


Presumably in BBC terms, the activities of TV Licencing are not bullying. The threatening letters, court cases, fines and prison sentences are not bullying. The totalitarian coronavirus response is not bullying. Using the police to enforce absurd and ineffective rules nobody can remember anyway - that's not bullying. 

It really is a ludicrous outfit. Well adjusted to the modern world though. May as well admit that.

Asian women shouldn't be bullies. They should make delicious chapattis and wear bright saris, which the BBC can painstakingly explain to us thick racists.

This morning just before 9am Radio 4 played a short extract from Trump's legal folk's press conference about the election fraud. R 4 decided to interview a cosmetics expert on why Giuliani's hair dye had run. So whether there was fraud (of course there was!) or even if there wasn't the BBC chose to ignore the fact that half of Americans believe Biden won while the other half (who have the guns) are convinced the election was stolen and use the situation to talk about cosmetics. Trivial indeed.

I go nowhere near the BBC.

Extraordinary how many news outlets focussed on the hair dye rather than the real news

I get all my news here these days...

Some of the comments are hilarious, many outrageous, some odd, but a damned sight more interesting and informative than the autocue-readers in W1A!

Sam - yes, it's almost as if the BBC is diverse for no other reason than to look down on its viewers as thick racists.

Woodsy - I saw one BBC headline claiming that Trump's fraud assertions were false, although nobody at the BBC could possibly know one way or the other. A lie in the sense that it claimed to know what it did not know.

James - I only use it for examples of MSM bias for blogging purposes.

Graeme - the BBC should be above that but clearly isn't. I wonder how often they will mention Joe Biden's mental decline.

Scrobs - I have that one bookmarked plus a number of similar sites, although because I don't watch the BBC I'm losing touch with what the criticisms refer to.

A (now prevented from working due to the CCP virus) hair dresser said she watched snippets of Giuliani's beasting, and said that it appeared that the room temperature was set too high as he appeared to be sweating, which would make his hair dye run, causing him discomfort, possibly make him lose his thread, and a target for ridicule.
Making an opponent uncomfortable has long been a tactic to gain an advantage, which the left wing media made full use of.

Penseivat - interesting and yes - entirely plausible.
