The BBC is killing itself, slowly, like an alcoholic drinks himself to death. It has lost the respect of anyone and everyone who has noticed it's obsession with shoving trans-identity pseudo-religion into every area: a tsunami of propaganda erasing sex and reality.

I couldn’t quite believe this so double checked. The BBC does not normally shy away from reporting that an MP’s office has been vandalised. Here are four examples. Yet search for the story about Wes Streeting’s office being attacked by trans activists and there is nothing.

The BBC - a reminder
hareinthefire retweeted
The BBC affair has echoes of NHS Fife and many other public bodies. If you hand over editorial control to folk like Isla Bumba you are going to get fucked badly. These are not serious people. They are not qualified to make the policy decisions you allow them to.

I think @stephensackur would be an excellent new DG or BBC Head of News. Internationally renowned for @BBCHARDtalk he’s a proper, tough journalist. Few more rigorous and willing to ask the awkward questions without fear or favour. Watch him challenge Judith Butler here
“There is just a level of incompetence at the top of the BBC, and also a culture of denial." Stephen Sackur, Times Radio presenter and formerly of the BBC, says he’s “very worried” for the future of the broadcaster. 🔴 Listen to @StephenSackur from 1pm: thetimes.com/radio

Welcome to Killymead House Belfast where accredited journalists have been given permission to tweet Morrison v Belfast Film Festival (BFF). Day 1 has just got underway. The claimant Sara Morrison (SM) has just been sworn in. She is the only witness for her claim. 🧵

I think it's also because they know that lots of people don't like Trump whereas relatively few people are in favour of blokes in women's sports, changing rooms etc.

I was away and offline last week but... come on... the Trump stuff is by far and away the most inconsequential part of this BBC stuff. I suppose that may be why so many senior BBC people seem to prefer that everyone looks at that rather than the other, more damning, stuff.

My definition of ‘toxic force’ or ‘toxic plotters’ would be people who inveigled their way into a national broadcaster and changed the culture so much that colleagues were frightened to speak up about programmes that encouraged the drugging of children and the abuse of women.

I've been talking to BBC insiders about why the Director General resigned and whether the talk of a 'coup' has any basis - here's my latest markurban.substack.com/p/the…

"Naturally the BBC has lots of enemies from press barons to the populist left and right. But failing to deal internally with issues like those raised by Prescott is a gift to the destroyers." A message for many institutions.

I was holidaying alone. I came back from the beach and there was a man in my room, sitting on my bed. He worked at the hotel. He said he had been watching me. I screamed as hard as I could. He left. It was extremely disturbing. Hotel/police did nothing.

When an organisation fails it must recognise those failings and address them fearlessly. @matthewsyed, like most BBC senior management, remains in denial. Their pants shitting cowardice in standing up to four knuckle dragging dickpanderers in the LGBT Desk gives little confidence that the failings will be addressed fearlessly.
Replying to @matthewsyed
It WAS a huge asset, but it's lost the trust of a significant proportion of the population. Instead of handwringing, excusing, attacking, why aren't senior staff demanding action to remove the truth-twisters and activists? That's the only course that could possibly save the BBC.

Puberty blockers, Cass Review, Sullivan Report, For Women Scotland, Forstater, Supreme Court , protection of women's sports. And so many more tribunals/indivduals have made sure women's rights are centred. We matter .We keep on winning.Whatever the BBC/Guardian bubble tells you.

I am supremely grateful to those who have supported me, both scientifically and in more pastoral senses. I won’t name them, because that might cause trouble for them. Let that sink in. And of course, I am very grateful to the sports reporters who were interested in science, not the spurious names that are thrown around. @seaningle @oliverbrown_tel @martynziegler @Lawton_Times

It is clearly irreformable & the state broadcaster/licence fee model is obsolete. Once it sought to educate & raise the cultural level of the nation; now it just dumbs down & indoctrinates. It has done more any other UK institution to legitimate & foster antisemitism.
