The main remit of the beeb is to inculcate the UK population. I haven't watched the BBC since 2007. Yes they make the odd good program like Shaun the sheep, but that's about it.

Not much I can disagree with there GNR except one. The BBC's greatest attribute and which gave it world wide acclaim was its impartiality in news reporting worldwide. Thats gone. Certainly at home (I cant really speak about anywhere else). They are now so woke its depressing and I resent being forced to pay for it. Dont blame Farage or anyone else not employed by the BBC blame Tim Davie and the board of control. If they treasure all their activities as much as you and many others do then its up to them to show the proper regard to their paymasters. If it was up to me I would give them a simple ultimatum - impartial or you are gone - your decision.

BBC news and editorial are clearly biased and need to be properly castigated! But the BBC's technical prowess is second to none in broadcasting, sound reproduction, production in all genres, original comedy, documentaries, wildlife photography, Terrestrial Sky at night studies, Custodians of the best orchestras, Open University, Parliamentary affairs coverage, televised opera, ballet, cultural minority interests etc. etc. Farage is taking a popgun, one dimensional shot at them for opinionated spin in reporting any political encounter. He certainly has my backing in this aspect only!

Using the licence fee as a battering ram by other broadcasters to get rid of the yardstick calibrated by a very excellent British institution should be condemned, much like Labour getting rid of grammar schools, assisted places and now 20% on the best education money can buy, to lower the bar!

He is a tenacious character I'll give you that, he could be of some use in the back benches forming policies the populace would vote for next time round. It's clear however he let Labour in through the back door with less votes than Corbyn got when he was thoroughly beaten by Golden Boy! The Reform manifesto was clearly rubbish and impossible to implement if by some miracle they were invited to form a government.
Politics is the art of the possible, which means comprise. Farage's ego cannot cope with descent, believing that seeing the other persons point of view would weaken his resolve! He has a non British dislikeable way of othering society! That's why he couldn't get a seat in a middleclass constituency!

That's not going to happen is it, too many vested interests in the Tory party, effectively they would be raising the white flag.

"Barclays’ attempt to quash key car finance ‘mis-selling’ ruling is wrong, says watchdog"

...

"However, Barclays has sought to push back against the ombudsman by mounting a legal challenge."

...

"If Barclays succeeds in its application for judicial review, the ruling could potentially throw a spanner in FCA’s investigation."

...

In its original court application filed in early April, Barclays said the court should quash the ombudsman’s decision. This is on the basis that there was a “real divergence” between the agency’s stance on complaints and those of the courts, where the ombudsman has lost a succession of cases.

A Barclays spokesman said: “We do not agree with the Financial Ombudsman Service’s decision in this case and are therefore challenging it." "

We have a two party system effectively. So why does he not sign on and take his chances for leadership?

[utrickytrees] 08/7/2024 19:53

Eer think Sunak managed that without any help from Farage. 99% of Reform voters wouldn't have wasted the shoe leather going to the ballot box had Farage not stood.

Farage's greatest post BREXIT achievement was to deliver a victory for Starmer!
Thereby cancelling the very same reason he got us out of Europe! (immigration & fishing)
French waving through illegals with a sea lane map, gale warnings & visibility synopsis!
EU's fishing rights in our waters not changed much, now fully licenced!
What will this Blighter do next?
Heckle anyone behind the dispatch box?
Kick up a rumpus over military aid to Ukraine?
Hail Putin as the new role model for Western leadership?

Best yet that careful. You have to be a scientist to be Minister of State for Science. Ha ha ha. Edinburgh fringe stuff. The dept of science may have one or two already. I know lots of scientists and most of em wear odd socks. It used to be minister for universities. Would a degree in crested newt studies qualify him?
Does the transport minister have to be a bus driver or the minister of defence have a shotgun license? In what field does a Prime Minister have to qualified? Ha ha ha. Next slide pleas

Just filter and don't respond.

Who is Minerve posting as now , one of the best at reading markets on advfn.

[pierre oreilly] 08/7/2024 19:18

Gecko, there's only one, not several. They are all Minerve. He'd rather be hated and noticed than not noticed at all. I left the other lloy thread because of him 3 years ago - now he wants to ruin, and has ruined, this one, and several others, too.
