I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed
‘Gibb’s supporters say he is trying to save the BBC from itself; he was also heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way, he would “blow the place up”.’
“a group of politically-appointed directors has forced the hand of Samir Shah,the chair, and the departure of the two most senior people in the organisation. Their resignations should be called out for what they are: political interference..”1/

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition.

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.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Don't plan tourist trips to the Capitol since the demolition. If you are doing investigations or filming, be sure to read up on precautions because now Asbestos is just scattered in DC.

Wow, who knew by ignoring procedure, something bad would happen? And to think, he had them dump the East Wing's remains in his golf course to reshape it. Asbestos inside the WH, on his 'new patio', and everywhere. Uff Da.

In 'well that's odd' news:

Refukker Dazzler is furious over £35k being spent as part of a Blackpool improvement plan - news his sort last got furious about in March 2024, when the story was first reported...🤔

Also, Refukker Dazzler is not furious about a Refuk council spending £75k on flags...🤔

If you're using remembrance as a cynical opportunity to divide society with extremist politics, you've learned nothing.
You're just stealing the valour of those who fought for a better world.

Racists are the pettiest most mean spirited worms you'll ever meet.
They cheapen the lives of those who gave everything, while worshipping the bone spurs coward.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.

Endless projection. I hate him.

The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has become the most extensive cover-up in human history. Authorities have ceased nearly all testing, tracking, and reporting, in an attempt to hide countless instances of infection, illness, and mortality resulting from the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19.

Bad news for the right wing extremist 'London has fallen' crowd...

London just named Best City in the World for 2026 - making it 11 consecutive years it has had that accolade, including every year that Sadiq Khan has been Mayor.

Will that cheer up the saddos?
