With a bit of luck, the BBC in its present form will wither. However, its leftie producers and journos will be ever present somewhere.

Why did you bother to say that, Andrew? There is mileage in many news items and the Ali hypocrisy is a symptom of wider hypocrisies among the politicians in the governing party. Particularly see Miliband for details.

Are you saying that 'order order' is not impartial and up to date news source?? You'll be saying GB News is biased next.

Anyway back to the main thrust of the order order article.

Was it Oxford or Cambridge he thought were the small boat migrants?

As a neutral, I can see that this kind of resignation is too common to be newsworthy for two days in a row, even in the quiet news months of August.

Must admit, I wondered at first if he'd spotted a pedalo! :D

In your opinion. But it's there to be exploited and to further embarrass this wretched government.

It is awful that there is no party capable of taking power from Labour right now. We seem thus consigned to suffer this awful government and our only hope is that they change course - which their ideology won't allow.

... and that's on top of the 18 MPs who blackmail Starmer's lot into bad decisions.

The BBC don't report that.

Probably because they, like most reputable news organisations, tend not to report paranoid fantasies...

Given the problems they have with "stars" that we hear I really wonder what really is going on at this organisation :erm:

BBC news, just watch the first 2 minutes for the headlines.

If you then want the 'finer details' stay tuned for reports from 'on the spot' reporters speaking in either a squeeky/scratchy voice or a dull flat monotone.

Studio fillers are reporters telling you what you probably already know, often with the inclusion of a video feed from an 'expert' using his/her laptop camera (with warbling microphone) sitting in their spare bedroom in the depths of Surrey.

As for the BBC news website . . . it's like TikTok :D

What do you think about BBC news in terms of its objectivity and impartiality?

Very good, Carth.

I think the problem at the BBC is the censorship that producers/editors impose reflects a leftie tendency. That goes for some presenters too. I’m not sure whether or not Bowen is “leftie” - but he’s been doing the Middle East for so long that his gone-native credentials are apparent.

Do you mean the BBC with a Tory Director-General Tim Davie, ex-Chairman who was a Tory Supporter and Donor Richard Sharp, and with a Tory Board Member Sir Robbie Gibb?

I think that the BBC News is far from impartial - you only have to look at the coverage Farage gets (with 4 MPs, & around 860 Council seats)), compared to the Green Party (same number of MPs and around 860 Council seats) and the LibDems (who have over 15 times the number of MPs and around 3200 Council Seats)

I reckon Farage gets more coverage than the Greens because . . . well, people don't talk about the Greens but Farage is definite click bait material :D

Come the General Election, we have a party that represents the views of those who want genuine change. Nothing can happen before then, unfortunately, except at a local level when the main council elections are held.

The Conservatives are the new Liberal Party, so that counts for nothing in this argument.

What?

While Reform UK deserve more coverage because they are now likely to form the next UK government, the BBC concentrates only on negative coverage of the party, and its hostility towards Reform UK representatives, and Nigel Farage in particular, is plain for all to see - even you, Hugh - so at least be honest about that.

Such has been the case when any 'alternate' thinking has reared its head
