Tourists ‘paid £70,000’ to shoot innocent people in ‘human safari’ hunting trips to Sarajevo

Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into far-right Italian tourists who also paid an additional fee to kill children with the sniper rifles in the 1990s in Bosnia.

Teesworks scandal: a dark tale of public wealth lost and private gain Teesworks - a story that reads like a screenplay for a dark political drama

"This entire saga has a smell hanging over it. The people of Teesside, Hartlepool and Darlington are no fools. That smell will not go away until there is a full, transparent and independent inquiry."

Pay back your travel expenses Jenkyns!

Reform UK’s Andrea Jenkyns is claiming travel expenses for her job as Mayor of Lincolnshire, why? Because she lives in Yorkshire (despite saying she lives in Lincolnshire on her nomination forms).

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

‼️ "Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

…Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt."

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Is particularly noticeable at the moment when they're all focusing relentlessly on the BBC - an organisation which they all have a heavy commercial interest in undermining

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

FFS! Why don't you ask Morgan Mcsweeny why he thinks this is happening? Or maybe Lord Glasman?
They will sort it all out, I'm sure!🤬

Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”.

The thrill of right-wing outlets and politicians over the BBC tells you all you need to know...

The BBC is a vital British institution.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Trump just pardoned the entire 2020 coup cast…Giuliani, Meadows, Powell and 74 more. Fantastic. Nothing screams “I’m innocent”…like handing out get-out-of-jail cards to everyone who helped you try to steal an election. Hell of a business model, though.

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

Side-by-side comparison of BBC-edited Trump speech from day of Capitol attack with original – video A selectively edited clip by Panorama has resulted in the BBC being accused of making it appear clearer that the US president encouraged the Capitol attack

He said what he said - the clip tells the truth - yes the words were selected - but that is what he said -no mistake - he told them to get down there and fight like hell. Not a misquote at all.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.
