The BBC: are claims of political bias justified? Part 2.

More like a stickleback...

3 or 5 spine?

More like fifteen. He's getting on a bit.

Alexei Navalny: EU and US demand release of poisoned Putin critic

On the face of it, the Uk couldn’t give a flock about the chap... not like the caring sharing EU.


Oh, wait a moment. Buried deep down in the article we find:

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Mr Navalny's arrest was "appalling" and called for his immediate release.

"Rather than persecuting Mr Navalny, Russia should explain how a chemical weapon came to be used on Russian soil," he said.

Alexei Navalny: EU and US demand release of poisoned Putin critic

Alexei Navalny is arrested in Moscow months after a nerve agent attack nearly killed him.

Putting EU in the headline instead of UK must have been a careless typo then.

Might be now, but not always so

OG or KF?

Light weights?

Dessie combats?

Beanie hat?

As for seasons, pully order or shirt sleeves?

Not forgetting the novel mix worn by Royal on Jacana, of DPM jacket with desert trousers. Meant that whatever the terrain, only one half of them could be seen.

That'll make you a haddie then!

You obviously haven't picked up on the patois then!

Nice that somebody thinks I actually have a spine!

The lingo in The Broch is still a complete mystery to me.

The second article has really got the dribbling moon howlers out in force...

View attachment 540496

Hmm is the second one aka wets I wonder?

 

[FourZeroCharlie]

That is a fair comment... The BBC knows its audience and that is why we never see articles that may attract pro Brexit or pro government/pro Johnson opened up for Have Your Say.

On the rare occasion they get a response leaning away from their agenda, HYS is taken down fairly quickly.

You may wish to cast your eyes over this:

Covid vaccine: Health minister denies jabs being held back

Earlier the first minister said he did not want vaccinators "standing around with nothing to do".

www.bbc.co.uk

The Head of The Welsh Parochial Council, Mark 'Ugwe' Drakeford, is taking a bit of rough handling in the Comments section of this piece.

His comments on the 'Today' programme this morning have been ridiculed, particularly his reasoning behind the less-than-rapid roll out of vaccination - he doesn't want vaccinators standing idly by if the vaccine runs out.

I commend the Comments section to the House - anyone here owning up to being 'DaveRAMC'?

 

[FourZeroCharlie]

I doubt it: the comment is 'Bozo' free.

 

[Gabion Groyne]

In that case

Daniel O'Connell walt.

I thought you meant Daniel O'Donnell but did he sing about horses and stables? He's a loovely boy to be sure.

Good point, well presented.

In my area (Suffolk), we have been putting it in peoples arms as quickly as we can.
When it runs out, staff will have a well earned rest. Many are working a 12 hour shift, with an hour for lunch.

I was born in Singapore, don't make me Malayan. I then spent my early years and first school in the Gold Coast (soon to become Ghana), don't make me African.

LK born to Scottish parents with a bit of furrin on the paternal side ancestry, but she is a Weegie.

I quote the Duke of Wellington 'being born in a stable doesn't make one a horse'.
