[Sir Tigger KC]

There was some good stuff on Jeremy Vine today. 

First off a detailed discussion and 'explaination' of what the ' Norway option' entails. If there was a dissenting opinion, then it must have been while I farted so missed it. 

Later he had politicians from the Green party, SNP, Limp Dems, Plaid Cymru, Sinn Fein and DUP.  The lady from the DUP was a lone voice insisting that the decision of the 2016 referendum should be carried out.    The others all called for another vote. 

What propaganda and it's clear that the BBC has abandoned even it's thin veneer of impartiality!

What propaganda and it's clear that the BBC has abandoned even it's thin veneer of impartiality! 

Its funny, whoever you ask (no matter where they sit on the political or Leave/Remain spectrum) always seems to think that the BBC is a shill for the opposing party/viewpoint.

For example, to my eye/ear there are plenty of pieces on cost of living rises, reduced consumer confidence etc etc and the brexit uncertainty never gets much billing when that's talked about. Or on Question Time, a voice suggesting anything other than a full blown immediate EU exit ("let's just get on and leave" etc) gets shouted down.

Your view, and that of a number of members on here is clearly quite the reverse, and that the whole thing is a Left-wing, pro-remain mouthpiece.

Consequently, I've come to the conclusion that if everyone thinks they're going into bat for the opposition, they must actually be doing a fairly balanced job 

[Gaffers]

That's far too sensible a deduction for this forum.  Go on, off to the corner with ya! 

[Varche]

It might also be that whenever there is a chink in someones armour BBC and Sky jump on it to sensationalise it.  E.g.

Farage on he boat in the Thames
May losing three votes in Parliament
ECJ ruling that Brexit can be abandoned

And so on. The failing is not providing a balanced view and pumping  up the story. So often you switch the news on in the morning and it is a forecast of what might happen.

Hmmm, I suspect I could find hundreds of other links about the BBC being the other way.

Though it matters not which way we think, in their (to quote Tigger) thinly veneered attempt at impartiality, somebody can easily, always accuse of bias.

I think they are pro Brexit (at any cost) based on 2 things, including the rather blatant immigration stories when hints of remaining surface.  The 2nd is confidential.

No need to repeat yourself, I heard you first time. 

Cut me some slack. I'm relatively new to this forum, you know.

Did you get a message about the server being busy? I've had it a few times lately.

Let me know if its improved since we've moved onto the secondary database server, after the primary shat it pants

No server busy messages, pages are slow to load now and again, nothing serious. What we need is 150 members all trying to post at once, that would give it a proper workout.

The Tory bias on the BBC was crystal clear during the last GE, one standout example for me was Corbyn addressing a 10,000 + crowd and didn't get a sniff of coverage, however the syphilitic witch May was on a loop walking round a bakery fondling Brioche buns whilst warbling strong and stable, it reminds me of the 'dangle berries' spouted on North Korean TV news sometimes   

Not very strong nor stable at the moment though is she 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

The BBC is anti Corbyn because they consider him an electoral liability for Labour. They aren't far left extremist Marxists like Corbyn, they are metropolitan liberal elite, champagne socialists. Any journalist who wants to work at the beeb struggles to get through the door if they haven't previously worked for the Guardian.
They have never been and never will be pro Tory.

What you don't see with all these pro-EU organizations is there EU funding BBC £1m+ in grants, UK charities the same. Dominic Grieve went to school in France is a francophile and has been given their highest honour the Légion d'honneur for political services. Daily Fail has gone May's pro-deal where the snake MP Gove's wife in a senior editor there etc., etc. The corrupt establishment looking after their own vested interests at everybody else's expense, as per usual.

The good news for May is where she is successfully campaigning, like she did in the GE & lost a 20 point lead. She is successfully with her pitch to change MPs minds to vote for her. Last week 96 MPs said they would vote it down, to date this week that is up to 103.

10 years ago it had apparently received 258 million Euros in soft loans and payments from the EU in the previous five years !

I don't think you're allowed to use that word on the BBC. You better slope off somewhere in case someone sees it.
