BBC Director General Tim Davie says that the corporation's impartiality guidelines are "equally applied to people being critical of the left and the right."

Apart from when it isn't.

If you like your family and don’t like paying solicitors, make a will.

Good grief! In place of MOTD Women's super league, BBC has substituted a programme by that well-known impartial GBNews presenter, Neil Oliver,
They must be kidding!

The BBC clearly think Match Of The Day viewers want to see another own goal.

Good thing the UK government hasn’t yet gone full-fascist: it would be terrible for someone to lose their job for stating the fucking obvious while working for the impartial state broadcaster controlled by chums and donors of those in power.

@xtaldave Only if you want to watch live broadcast tv on any service on any device in the U.K. (with certain exceptions, e.g. plant-chatting inbreds being given golden hats).

GOOD GRIEF
"BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash"

And they have the nerve to complain about tweet

@xtaldave How vapid does one have to be to think Brand ever had anything approaching a coherent thought?

Remember during the pandemic, there were certain people in UK “civic tech” spaces bemoaning the fact Apple and Google wouldn’t allow contact tracing apps that didn’t fall within their rules, saying “why should big tech be able to override sovereign states?”

Because said states do really silly things and tech companies telling them to piss off is about the only check on that.

@helma This country is getting more and more insane by the day. 😥

@david_colquhoun Good to see Phelps-Roper has managed to turn her life around after leaving the vile madness of the WBC.

The government may change the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill to 'include allowing online marketeers greater use of so-called “legitimate interest” arguments for collecting people’s information and the ability for private companies to similarly obtain such personal information for scientific research.'

If this is true, the revised #DPDIBill is even more of a threat to our data protection rights. The Bill must be scrapped.

Weird that modern-day inhuman fascists don’t like being likened to other inhuman fascists of yore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And there was me hoping that I had the office all to myself today.

So proud of my wife who tonight saved a lost and trapped strange dog from a night of subzero exposure and returned it to its home and puppies. 🤩
