I’m reading that FIFA has invented a so called “peace prize” and has decided to award it to Donald Trump. FIFA is meant to be at the top of the football pyramid, which covers continental football (eg EUEFA), national level (The FA) and local level, local leagues, youth football etc. How dare they?🤬

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

BBC R4 WATO. Ask that Putin fan what he means by “woke”. What examples does he have?

Oh dear, yet again the Observer provides scant coverage of the Premier League. Detailed full page features of Arsenal (twice), Chelsea and Liverpool. Newcastle Everton game gets a total of 32 words. 🤬

Labour are leaving tax thresholds at Tory levels. Tories factored them into their longer term forecasts & never described them as “tax rises”. Labour aren’t touching them & are leaving them alone. All of a sudden the right wing & broadcast press are calling this non-decision, “Labour tax rises”.

An outrageously gentle interview with Michael Gove as the Covid enquiry findings are examined. Staggering.

No wonder the Telegraph, Trump & Reform are ecstatic. BBC resignations are being used to demonstrate that the BBC is guilty of favouritism towards the left & is anti Trump & Reform. The opposite is true, but they’re using one Panorama story about a Trump speech to change the entire narrative. 🤬

A prisoner was accidentally released recently & we learned that it happens quite often & has done for years. It’s reported as though Starmer personally helped each prisoner to escape. Each story is hitting the press within hours. I smell a rat & suspect leaks from Reform supporting prison staff.

Must remove “The Observer” from Guardian subscription. Football coverage, abysmal. Reports on L/pool & Man U , then “in brief” covering the remaining 2 games. We (NUFC) get a few words (we won). Similar for Sunderland, who’s fans must be fuming, as they were story of the day. Championship - zilch. 🤬

The European Ryder Cup golfers are being booed by the crowd in the USA. I may be mistaken, but I can’t remember ever seeing or hearing this before. Has Trump’s anti-Europe rhetoric led to this?

People are posting stuff in the other place. They oppose digital ID on the grounds it will put their data at risk of misuse/hacking. Some of these people pay for a blue tick and have given Musk and co their bank details. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Starmer timed it nicely, announcing digital ID cards on the eve of Labour conference. A popular vote winner, it was leading the news earlier, but inevitably it’s been replaced by a story about Labour division and disunity. Andy Burnham: thanks a bunch comrade.

Oh dear! BBC Radio 4 today. Nobody should be killed for expressing, even extreme political views. But ignoring and failing to mention the many vile racist and divisive statements from Charlie Kirk is not journalism.

BBC News - Ghislaine Maxwell stresses Trump has nothing to hide in the Epstein scandal & did nothing wrong. No mention of her recent move to a jail that is closer to a holiday camp than a prison. Or the distinct possibility that she may receive a pardon from Trump. Ofcom. Lisa Nandy, where are you?

John Bolton. Politically, not my cup of tea and that’s putting it mildly. The FBI raiding his property could be a turning point. This is an authoritarian move by an authoritarian president. All to distract from Epstein. Key members of the Republican establishment might come out of hiding.

Just read that Trump’s “peace deal” involves Ukraine giving up a lot of invaded territory to Russia. Trump meets Zelensky today, knowing he can’t possibly sign up to this. The UK and EU should and will, hopefully, reject and condemn this outright. Nobel Peace Prize? 🤬🤬🤬

Any Questions tonight on #BBCradio4. One panelist, a partisan Reform supporter, who’s the partner of a Reform MP, is described as “a journalist”. The BBC, still packed with Johnson appointed Tories, is laughing at us.

The Tories secured the (unprecedented) super injunction and failed to reverse it in 2023/24. Eventually Labour remove it, Tories say “why the delay?” BBC and others turn it into “they’re all to blame”, “successive govts” etc. BBC now very happy saying the only winner is Farage. An utter disgrace.
