BBC's obvious bias... on 09:34 - Sep 19 by Catullus
Oh come on, we all know Jesus was English.
Yes i learnt this from the BBC as well.
I also learnt poor desperate migrants were trying to get into the uk every day by hanging on lorries from France. That was just before the Referendum on EU membership in 2016.
I also learnt that wales was a Principality. Although its not.
And i learned that a bloke called Nigel Farage gets air time on Question Time every week even though he is not an MP and his party had no MPs. Strange dont you think ?
Establishment, all friends together.

They’re still hanging on lorries and dinghies.
Wales was a principality. Now it isn’t.
Farage was a member of the European Parliament which people like you think is very important. His party also won two European elections. In 2015 his party got twice the amount of votes as the SNP and around twenty times more than Plaid Cymru.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

That fact will upset him even though he will claim the BBC fixed the result.

You often see people like Leanne Wood or Liz Savile on there, that’s despite the fact they only got 150,000 votes which is less than the population of Telford.

I want to know how they all got those beautiful perms in 1st century Judaea. A look not perfected again until the 1970’s.
It was the Judaean peoples front hairdressers, or was it the Judaean peoples hairdresser front? Maybe it was the peoples hairdressrs at the front of Judaea?

Our chirpy joker appears a bit rattled and defensive .... 😂
Imigrant camps in France were used by the BBC to scare the old and the racists before the 2016 Referendum. Nightly shock tactics. Not the same coverage since cos not needed any more.
Wales is still called a Principality by the BBC on a routine basis. Not in the past tense of 600 years ago, but very much the present tense, presumably with Carlo at the helm ? BBC loves all royals except Meghan. I wonder why that is...? What is so different about her ? I mean even that Prince Andrew bloke - Jeffs friend - gets a free pass ffs.
Farage in a fascist. BBC should no platform people like him. Why did he get more air time than elected politicians in the sovereign Westmonster parliament. Why ? Unless you wanted to move the discussion in a particular direction of course ...
And we all know both Laura K and Andrew Marr were Tory supporters. No pretending its fair and equal, the BBC dont care any more.
Stick with the hilarious photos if i was you ...cracking laugh you ...ðŸ‘

Are you suggesting that MEP’s weren’t important enough to get airtime? If the European Parliament was so great and important there should have been MEP’s on there every week Shirley? There were already MPs on there every week including many from that tiny fringe party Plaid Cymru who are probably massively over represented considering what a insignificant outfit they are.

Herr Farage appeared 35 times. He has the most appearances per year, at 1.8, between 2000 and 2019. Nobody else has a higher appearances per year number.
Next are 1.6 with 3 people representing Labour, Tory, and Libdems.
Now why does Herr Farage have such a high profile...? I mean he failed to be elected as an MP 7 times !! Why would such a serial loser get such a high profile from the BBC ? The man is a fascist.

At various times the BBC has been accused of being left wing, right wing and everywhere in between. Maybe that shows it's actually not biased, maybe it just has poor journalists who can't present a story without spinning it to their political favour?
The Beeb is vastly more impartial than most mainstream media.
I think it depends on the programme. It can be biased in all different ways at the same time as there are so many different programmes with different teams behind them. So Farage gets disproportionately platformed to feck on QT and there are right wing activists plants in the audience (they’ve a politically active audience fixer), yet on the next day you could have Emily Maitlis opening Newsnight with a full frontal attack on the government.
I think your incompetence angle is true in some cases, but not many. A major weakness though is putting commentators up against professionals ‘for balance’. So you end up with the likes of Tom Harwood being put up against politicians and presented as a serious journalist, which is obviously bollox. I’m sure there are cases when it’s true on ‘the other side’ too.
You’re spot on about it being more impartial than a lot (maybe offering a broader range of views than most would be a slightly clearer way of putting it). And that’s the problem for the anti-BBCers. They all come from this new populist/authoritarian-supporting sect like the OP. They don’t want anyone to present different views (this is why we've talk of the backers of the right wing side of the Tories setting up a channel like Fox News). They don’t want news, they want propaganda to spread. Which is proven by the OP copying and pasting stuff from the likes of the Mail/Express and political activist sites non stop.

Never thought of that Loh! Salford rather than West Lancs. Still kicking around
Not my favourite- prefer Kung Foo International and Beasley Street.
I have seen parallels drawn between Formby and Morrissey though.
I reckon Morrissey would find that oddly flattering, Prof...
There was one of the lefties on here a few years back I was having a good-natured argument with, I forget which, as regards the relative merit of Clarke v W B Yeats. I enjoyed that bit of back-and-forth, not the sort of thing you’d normally expect to find on a football forum...

No. Very unexpected School did a good job of putting me off poetry for many years. John Donne , GM Hopkins and Ted Hughes did not feel very relevant in 1984 Rhondda. Started to come round a bit when hearing ,not reading, Larkin . My mother took me to a charity fundraiser -great experience to hear poetry Read by the late Alan Bates. More open to it now.

Poetry paints the English language in colours far more vivid than prose, Prof; the vernacular stretched to its limits.
If you’ve got a few days off find a corner where you’ll not be disturbed and open David Jones’ ‘In Parenthesis.’ You’ll be immeasurably richer for the experience.

If this graphic is true (and I think it is), it tells you all you need to know.
UKIP won13 seats in 2009 and 24 seats in 2014 (out of UK’s 72). So 25% of the seats over the period of this graphic, yet they had 90% of the MEP QT appearances (94% including BP appearances, as this is really about Farage). And the other 6% were Daniel Hannah ffs. Hardly representative.
Bloody Marxist, snowflake, woke BBC eh?

Will have a look. Quiet time to read is a luxury usually reserved for travel and work overseas. If you have ever seen Ethiopian TV then reading has big appeal.
