It’s hard to believe how quickly western mainstream media has lost the only thing of value in their business model - trust & honesty. I thought COVID was a low point for the MSM, but the Gaza war makes COVID look like a slightly inaccurate weather report.

The BBC once again marking their own homework was never going to end well. Tim Davie needs to be sacked for everything that’s happened on his watch.

If it was just a problem with Davie, the solution would be straightforward. What we have here is widespread, systematic cultural failure. You would have to rip out multiple middle managers to ensure that any change has a chance of sticking.

Publicly funded will always support the hand that feeds them, always.

End the public funding. Stop paying license fees. Just stop. If it goes to court the judge will be forced to read thoudands of pages of testimony, such as the above, and volumes of examples of bias catalogued by BBC watch and Honest Reporting.

No BBC editing in court.

There are no Zionists at the BBC, we're not cool, not woke enough, etc. So your slur only exposes you as a Jew-hater. You're welcome.

Jews aren't all Zionists anymore than all Zionists are Jews, so, pointing out that there may be Zionists in the Beeb is by definition, not racist, it's political.

In fact, there are a whole subset of Jews who are very anti Zionist.

Rubbish distinction. Zionists are people who think the Jewish people should have a state. Not political at all. That doesn’t mean one agrees with Israel’s every policy.

The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth toa the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.

Henry Wallace, 1944

It’s too bad that the term fascism has been corrupted that people do not understand its true meaning and goal.

I am curious how you can think that Trump is a fascist. That doesn’t make sense. The National Socialists were, er, Socialists, as was Mussolini’s Fascists. Trump is quite right wing, not fond of Socialism of any stripe.

“National” Socialists (Herr H, Signor M et al) have always been far right-wing. The extra word at the begining is there for a purpose, to distinguish them from the regular, left-wing Socialists. It's only in recent years that the left seems to have begun borrowing from their playbook, sending notions like left and right into a tailspin.

No ,you are quite wrong. The National Socialists were Socialists, nothing right wing about them.The cobduct of the NAZI party was very similar to the Bolsheviks . Hitler did not like ‘Jewish’ Socialism therefore he was not keen on Marx. Hitler wanted Socialism based on the German ‘folk’ In fact Hitler copied the Bolsheviks in some ways. Fascism was similar , socialism centred around the ‘worship ‘ of the state. Italian Facism was not really concerned with race although to keep in with Hitler Italy did comply to Hitler’s demands regarding Jews. Hitler did not think it necessary to nationalise all industry, some was, but the NAZI party realised it was better to let the capitalists run the enterprise whilst it was controlled by the state.Jews were removed from boardrooms and a Nazi overseer put in. As long as the directors did as the state told them ,they were safe .

It is not possible to be a ‘right wing Socialist , it is a contradiction in terms.

The Bolsheviks ,later renamed the Communist party, were practicing mass murder long before Hitler arrived.After Lenin’s policies had wrecked the economy , he had to bring in the NEP , limited free markets. Trotsky wanted foreign capitalists brought in to run industry. This was expediency. The 25 points of the National socialists is in many ways similar to the Bolsheviks .

The Nazis hated capitalism and democracy.They created a Nazified church .

Every citizen was totally controlled. The state was everything to every one . Outside of the collective was nothing.

The Bolsheviks did not have a monopoly on Socialism. There were many socialist groups in Russia but they were all destroyed by the Bolsheviks.

A far right party ,if one existed, would simply be more right wing. It would want a very small state, almost total freedom of speech and thought, unrestricted press and ,now, internet content. It would rely on the people to a large extent to govern themselves. The far right never existed, it is a nonsense.

But of course. The BBC can tax you without your consent to what it uses the money for. Why shouldn’t they take you for dupes?

Expand full comment
rafi Bezalel's avatar

Why? Because it's illegal. The BBC is in flagrant violation of the charter under which it raises public money. It uses the money for its own agenga. That is embezzlement. There is no further legal obligation on any UK resident to pay their license fee.

So if you don’t pay your fee, you won’t go to prison? Not what I have heard. Have you tried this yourself?

If a non-payer ends up in court there is an enourmous amount of well-documented instances, in the thousands, thst can be broght before the court proving institutional bias and thetefore breach of the contract between the BBC and the fee-payers.

Funding and legal assistance would be very easy to raise - starting with UK Lawyers for Israel, crowdfunding, philanthropies etc.
