"Well it's a combination of the institutions making some mistakes, but being attacked by those who fit to benefit from their downfall. Sky and The Telegraph are going in hard on the BBC because they want their audience" And Sky bidding to buy ITV ? | |||

"Why the sudden rise in attack on British institutions, the BBC the monarchy and the government are all being targeted at the moment. Not a coincidence. People outside and within our shores are intent on causing trouble " To be fair, all are shooting themselves in the foot to varying degrees. BBC shouldn’t be editing footage (despite Trump clearly enjoying himself and cajhooling his hard core followers), Monarchy is mainly about AFKAP and the Govt. well where do we start ? (Current & Previous persuasions !) | |||

"The BBC has a blatent institutional left-wing bias - despite its pathetic protestations to the contrary - so it's quite pleasing that it's been caught bang to rights." What’s your evidence for that? | |||

"The BBC has a blatent institutional left-wing bias - despite its pathetic protestations to the contrary - so it's quite pleasing that it's been caught bang to rights." Hasn't the coverage of Gaza been strongly condemned by many people on the left? | |||

"Government = Will always be subject to considerable criticism. Compound this with a wholly unpopular PM... Monarchy = Andrew is a paedophile, simple. Doesn't exactly help the monarchy look good, does it? BBC = Got caught lying (think of all the times they don't get caught) I would say these are contributing factors as to why most members of the public are not happy or trusting of these institutions. If you feel like you want to align yourself with these things regardless of the obvious flaws... Out of what? loyalty? Well who am I to say you're wrong. " I agree about the government, they are always in for trouble these days whoever is in charge. As for the royals, if every family that had a criminal as a member got thrown out of their home and jobs, there would be millions of vacancies and empty homes about. And as for the BBC, they didn’t lie. That was down to October Productions. But BBCs due diligence was very negligent. | |||

" As for the royals, if every family that had a criminal as a member got thrown out of their home and jobs, there would be millions of vacancies and empty homes about." The royals are in a different position to every other family. Their sole purpose is to act as exemplars, they can’t do anything else. It’s what they are paid for. They are showing that they haven’t fulfilled their part of the contract, over Andrew, their conduct in general and in their financial dealings. | |||

These people are born in to some of finest and most unattainable privileges in the world. Comparing a Prince of England (former) Who is a paedophile, to a member of the public is just asinine. | |||

"The BBC has a blatent institutional left-wing bias - despite its pathetic protestations to the contrary - so it's quite pleasing that it's been caught bang to rights." That's why they have Laura K hosting one of their leading political interview shows, bending over backwards to accommodate every feckin Tory and Farage, to prove the Beeb isn't left-biased. | |||

Quite funny. Plenty of ordinary members of the public really are paedophiles or the most disgusting kind unfortunately. It is highly debatable as to whether Mr A. Mountbatten-Windsor is one. Not defending him but his foolish misdemeanour was with a 17yo not a 7yo, so would have been legal in this country, a good many other counties and even some other states of the USA. | |||

She must have changed her tune. Pointedly avoided watching her for years since she used to be so rude to Boris Johnson and his ministers [all well known hard left-wingers] yet used to fall over backwards to be nice to that far-right-winger Jeremy Corbyn. As for her and the Farage I would have thought it might be a case of the two trying to shout each other down as they are a right pair of egotists who love the sound of their own voices. | |||

People outside and within our shores are intent on causing trouble " Attacks on the BBC were inevitable at some point. If you look back over the large number of disgraceful things that the BBC have been responsible for. Just so happens that the latest one involved a very high profile international figure so their misdemeanors are subject to more scrutiny now. | |||

There are such things as libel, so you might just want to rephrase that statement. | |||

"The BBC has a blatent institutional left-wing bias - despite its pathetic protestations to the contrary - so it's quite pleasing that it's been caught bang to rights. What’s your evidence for that? exactly, another case of no evidence but it fits an agenda " - the BBC back in February broadcast a documentary called "How To Survive A Warzone", narrated by the son of a Hamas official. This fact was conveniently not mentioned at the time. OFCOM gave the BBC a ticking off and the DG apologised. - the BBC did not halt its 2025 Glastonbury livefeed of Bob Vylan's lead singer leading the leftie crowd in chants of "Death, death to the IDF" and "fucking Zionists". The DG apologised and the clip was removed from iPlayer. The BBC was found by its Executive Complaints Unit to have breached editorial guidelines. - for years Gary Lineker (the BBC's highest paid presenter) was allowed to tweet leftist comments on Twitter, including in 2023 a criticism of the government's asylum policy, and earlier this year he shared an anti-Semitic Instagram post - after which he ceased broadcasting for the BBC. - former BBC diplomatic editor Mark Urban claimed that BBC staff tried to prevent an interview with JK Rowling from taking place because they didn't like her views on trans rights. - a leaked BBC report on impartiality stated that there was "effective censorship" in the newsroom by LGBT staff. All of the above is in addition to the latest distortion of Donald Trump's speech. | |||

"Why the sudden rise in attack on British institutions, the BBC the monarchy and the government are all being targeted at the moment. Not a coincidence. People outside and within our shores are intent on causing trouble " It could be argued that the BBC as an institution, has become institutionally hostile towards Great Britain. We also would do well to rid ourselves of the various predatory parasitic entities that are damaging this country's long-term survival. | |||

"Nick Robinson's involvement with the Tories ceased long before he became a BBC journalist. In his role he would not be permitted to be a member of any political party." I have a lot of respect for Nick Robinson, he may have been a Tory but a proper old school one for whom truth mattered more than spin or being leaned on. That he's one of the voices saying stitchup speaks volumes. There's nothing wrong with journalists having Conservative (or leftist) affiliations as long as they speak the truth. Max Hastings is the absolute exemplar, a brilliant journalist (and author) who I always trusted implicitly because he used reason. | |||

Card-carrying was probably a poor choice of phrasing on my part. My point was that he has far more journalistic integrity than Kuenssberg. I do think he's very good at what he does. | |||

Nick Robinson interviews Tories much more aggressively than he does other parties. Mind you so do other BBC so called unbiased presenters. | |||

People outside and within our shores are intent on causing trouble " The BBC broke its own basic rule on impartiality and got caught. The Monarchy has never been squeaky clean Parliament and Democracy are the Institutions not the Government. Governments of all parties have rightly been targeted when they fucked up. | |||
