The BBC faces collapse – and needs a Royal Commission to reshape it
I was hoping that this might provide a convincing argument for the BBC to become a subscription service – instead of keeping its current licence fee model – which is arguably a relic from a bygone age. No such luck unfortunately.
Its author supplies the following gems;
The icing on the cake, for me at least, was this tub-thumping, Union Jack waving start of paragraph;
He did state that “…The BBC is competing in a completely different market and must renew its purpose and financial model…” in fairness to him.
Is Nick Timothy having a laugh? He surely cannot sincerely believe the statements that you have quoted… can he?
Agree, Michael. It sounds like the sort of thing you’d hear in the 1950s along with Nimrod from Elgar’s Enigma Variations.
I did have a mental image of Last Night of the Proms while reading the article.
How much of what a journalist writes now is actually their own viewpoint or what guidelines they have to follow, is open to debate.
Sounds like a complete crock to me. The BBC has to be privatised or destroyed. Privatising it would give the taxpayer a nice windfall but would allow it to continue so I would prefer it be shut down, or perhaps broken up and sold off so that each bit is less powerful than the whole. It cannot be fixed and in any case the state has no business owning a media empire.
Break it up. Legislate to prevent Sky, Channel4, ITV etc from buying any part.
…I’m often bamboozled by this sort of rubbish…I can only think they truly believe what they are saying..which is amazing, and depressing in equal measure!?
Both amazing and depressing as you say Mrs. Gum. It did originally make my blood boil, but I can see the funny side of it now.
Latest on Nordstream explosion:
The underwater bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines last September was carried out by a team of explosives experts operating from a 15-metre chartered yacht called the Andromeda.
According to information recorded by the Swedish Seismic Network, the explosion corresponded to 100 kilograms of trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives. Kaido Peremees, head of the diving company Tuukritödeho OÜ, stated that it was not necessary to dive to blow up the gas pipeline.
However the amount of explosives and other equipment required for the pipeline attacks might have been too much for such a small boat, raising the question of whether another vessel was involved.
The Minerva Julie, a 600-foot Greek-flagged tanker, was headed east from Rotterdam when, on September 6, it came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
The Minerva Julie stayed there, alternately idling and crossing a roughly 200-square-nautical-mile area above the two natural-gas pipelines, for seven days, from September 6 until September 12. From there, the Julie travelled on to Tallinn, Estonia before anchoring at St Petersburg on September 18. Then, on September 26, the two pipelines burst.
The message that Russia was sending was twofold:
Pre-empt EU sanctions on gas purchases from Russia.
To clearly demonstrate that Russia could destroy key European underwater infrastructure with impunity.
Oops…..
LOL!!
LOL! I suppose this is what desperation looks like…..
According to the Guardian, on Friday of last week….
Der Spiegel said that one of the six-person crew on the Andromeda was using a forged Bulgarian passport, but the German investigators have yet to identify the nationality of the bombers, or attribute responsibility to any government. A New York Times Report this week cited intelligence sources as saying a pro-Ukrainian group was involved
“We have been presented a piece of a puzzle. However, we don’t know how big the puzzle is. Is it 50 pieces, 500 or 5,000 pieces?” said Christian Mölling, the head of the centre for security and defence at the German Council on Foreign Relations…was there was a second boat and did somebody transport the explosive from somewhere else?” Mölling asked. “So that’s why I think there are pieces of the puzzle missing for the moment.”
The chair of the Bundestag’s intelligence oversight committee, Konstantin von Notz, has warned the press “to be as cautious as possible with any conclusions at this point in time”.
He told Die Zeit the investigation was “very likely to be dealing with a state or quasi-state actor because it is very demanding to transport large quantities of explosives – up to two tons are now being discussed – undetected to the right place in the Baltic Sea, to transport them into a relevant depth in order to trigger several explosions in a controlled manner”.
….and if that story doesn’t’ stick try this one…..
just a few days ago five Greek shipping firms were placed on a list compiled by the National Committee for War and Sanctions in Ukraine for allegedly continuing to cooperate with Russia despite the ongoing war in Ukraine and the levying of Western sanctions.
The five companies named on the sanctions list were TMS Tankers, Minerva Marine, Dynacom Tankers Management, Thenamaris, and Delta Tankers. Many of the firms are headed by influential Greek families and business magnates.
The Ukrainian government has accused the Greek shipping companies of aiding Russia’s war effort by continuing to trade with Russia and transport oil.
Minerva…? The same company that owns the Minerva Julie? Surely not….??? How can that be, and why now? Honestly it just must be a coincidence…..??? LOL!
Thanks for the humour. Brightened up my morning.
Media reports regarding likely Ukrainian involvement were released at the time of a meeting of European defence ministers in Stockholm to discuss the production of one million artillery shells for Ukraine.
Security analysts pointed out that even if the media delayed the Europeans’ decision by one month, Russia would clearly benefit from that.
The most dangerous people in the eyes of the establishment are ordinary people with sensible views.

“‘Fitting a heat pump has been an expensive waste of time’”
The property featured in this article is rural and not on mains gas and so the main alternative to a heat pump would be an oil boiler however, the sale of oil boilers in the UK will be banned from 2026, just a few years away. We have an oil boiler and are seriously thinking of getting a new one now, before it is too late. A building development in this area has been refused permission to install heat pumps because the electric supply and infrastructure cannot support it. Little wonder that wood burner sales are up and log businesses doing a good trade. Overall it is hard not to conclude that this is an attack on rural living and an attempt to drive us all into their 15 minute cities.
Nobody mentioning Bridgens latest tweets? What am I missing?
You have! Those tweets are good.
Agreed – I assume you mean these two from yesterday morning?
I can confirm that during my visit to Washington DC last Christmas/ New Year I was informed that the US DoD were responsible for both the virus and the vaccines. Fort Detrick was named. Also a facility in Canada. (1/2)
By the end of the month I expect to see the start of criminal proceedings against the many politicians and officials who are responsible around the world. (2/2)
Yes, those ones. Why is nobody talking about this? Puzzles me. What I can’t quite understand is why he’s only saying this now.
Yes, it is puzzling. Maybe something to do with legal process, if criminal proceedings are being initiated. He may have been told to keep this confidential for x days so alleged criminals are not given a heads-up.
Possibly. The fact that two eejits have actually downvoted the question is interesting.
It’s may have something to do with a legal case filed last Monday in the USA by Pascal Najidi. Pascal now has a military guard ordered by the Judge. It’s huge.
I don’t do twitter. What are we missing?

I don’t know if you remember back in 2021, after the WHO had inspected the Wuhan Lab….there was this….
It is learned that Permanent Representative of China to the UN Office at Geneva and other International Organizations in Switzerland wrote to the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) the other day, handing over two non-papers on Fort Detrick and the University of North Carolina, as well as an open letter signed by netizens demanding an investigation into Fort Detrick. Could you please elaborate on China’s position?
Wang Wenbin: On August 24, Ambassador Chen Xu, Permanent Representative of China to the UN Office at Geneva and other International Organizations in Switzerland, wrote to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and submitted two non-papers titled “Doubtful Points about Fort Detrick (USAMRIID)” and “Coronavirus Research Conducted by Dr. Ralph Baric’s Team at University of North Carolina”, and an open letter signed by more than 25 million Internet users calling for an investigation into the Fort Detrick base.
Of course according to the BBC, it was a conspiracy story and part of a Chinese disinformation campaign?…
It kind of died down, as did the Wuhan Lab leak….so it doesn’t surprise me as the lab leak story has raised its head, so has this.
3 pilots so far this month ‘incapacitated’. Actually one died of a heart attack prior to getting on the plane, which is tragic but not as tragic as if he had been in flight as scheduled. I’ve no idea what the average is for pilots prior to 2021 having these sorts of incidents. I’m sure the data exist somewhere and that would be interesting to see, but given how stringent airlines have always been about carrying out health checks on their pilots I’d be surprised if it wasn’t significantly less. Someone in the comments mentioning there’s plans to cut the number of pilots to one. Can anyone verify this? I can’t see this being a reality, not for all airlines anyway. Seems totally foolish, especially if there’s an increase in these incidents involving pilots whilst flying.

The aim in the UK is to cut the number of airports to 2 by 2030: Heathrow & Glasgow & by 2050 to zero.
https://www.ukfires.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Absolute-Zero-online.pdf
Government funded UK think tank.
Page 6 and 7:
All but two airports on mainland UK will close in the next six years. These will close between 2030 and 2049.
Only Heathrow and Glasgow in 2030.
It’s all been a planned demolition of air transport for the plebs.
Wow… At the moment it’s the ruminations of a think tank. Do they really think this is a viable future?
I’ll believe it when I see it. I call bollocks on this forecast! Not remotely feasible. Let them try but the demand to fly will always be there and always be high. It’s also a very lucrative industry and obviously employs shedloads of people. Are we really expected to believe they’ll all just go quietly when they’re given their marching orders? Cobblers will they! There’s a lot in their Agenda 2030 plan which will not come to fruition. People just have to not sit back and let it happen as if they have no power or control over this illogical BS tyranny.
Without healthy pilots, the industry is in trouble. The parameters for a key healthy heart measure have been raised to a clinically significant level thus enabling pilots with heart issues to continue flying as if they want an inflight death to cause a major incident, giving them the excuse to shut down airlines on the grounds of safety, which will be accepted by the MSM following masses.
I can just imagine the meetings discussing this. A group of so called academics without an ounce of common sense in the room with them. It’s like a school project.
Yesterday evening I was privileged to attend a presentation by the Tour de Force of Dr Judy Mikovits. What a woman! She really knows her subject, a brilliant presentation on the biochemical process of disease & because she identifies the mechanism of damage, the remedies to heal. She ran through how we’ve been poisoned & malnourished by the depletion of our soils of essential minerals, by toxic water supply, toxic air quality from chemtrailing & the impact which these have combined on preventing the body from healing.
She makes a big contribution to the virus/no virus debate. SARS-CoV-2 is a synthetic virus, a bioweapon designed to be highly contagious, released into the human population by injection. She ran through the RNA soup which has been injected into us all, how it has altered our immune systems to enable it to spread & joined up so many dots.
This is well worth a watch. Make sure that you have pen & paper to hand to make notes as you will, I’ll be re-watching it with heavy use of the pause & rewind buttons!!
If you don’t have the time or find biochemistry inaccessible her take-home points are:

“Watch: Only one out of eight young women knows, or will admit, what a woman is”
We’re in trouble if actual women can’t say what they are. They say…a person? Someone who identifies as a woman? And the interviewer is apparently ‘very clearly committed to misunderstanding the issue.’ Or should that be Miss-Understanding? I don’t understand any of these misses or ms’. It is people like them – and they are clearly confused in my eyes and I think that is to do with indoctrination and fear of being ‘outed’ as a terf or whatever it is – who are prolonging this nonsense and who are, by default, responsible for men, transwomen, going into female lavatories, taking part in women’s sport etc. They seem ignorant and scared to my mind.
Only one of these women could confirm any definition. The other seven rejected the true definition but couldn’t even offer an alternative definition. They’re unmoored from reality. These young women can be led to believe anything.
“SNP frontrunner Humza Yousaf vows to break up Britain by ‘any means necessary’” My forebears were staunch Scots who fought with Robert the Bruce and who were later Jacobites and they would be turning in their graves at the direction Scotland is taking especially if they elect this man as first minister. He is a professional politician i.e. he has no real experience of real life out in the real world and he is a hard-liner. He will play the independence card but has no true conviction. He just wants to break things and rebuild them in a dystopian vision of the future that he shared with Sturgeon. I truly despair for Scotland.
Yousaf is not Scottish, he’s a bloody immigrant.
Exactly, HP! I’ve no problem with immigrants if they wish to contribute to the culture and society they land in but this guy seems to just want to break things. Maybe he got a raw deal in school but I don’t trust him one inch. If he gets in, he’ll carry on with Sturgeon’s destruction of Scotland.

People harmed by the Covid vaccine have been paid out more than £5million in damages.
Almost 4,000 claims relating to the jab were made under the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme which provides a one-off £120,000 payment.
The NHS said 44 claims had been successful so far but 2,947 are still awaiting a verdict.
Alexandra Kelly got £120,000 after her mum Anthea, 71, died with pneumonitis, an inflammation of the lung following her AstraZeneca jab in January 2021.
But Alexandra, 49, branded the damages scheme a “shambles”, with hundreds of other claims rejected or in limbo.
Claire Hibbs was refused a payout 18 months after claiming. She was hospitalised for nearly a month with blood clotting following an AstraZeneca jab.

I have never doubted since the start of the Scamdemic that we are at war with our own governments but in this excellent article Simon Elmer (Archirects of Social Housing) at Off-G takes apart the WHO’S Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and makes it abundantly clear how much danger we are facing.

So…should we take bets as to how long before the US Government impose CBDC’s as the answer to the current banking collapses?

We are heading for massive financial collapse.
