#JeremyVine enjoying Crick's calling out of @JeremyVineOn5 biased, sloppy and embarrassing "journalism" 👌👏👏👏

Yesterday, over 550,000 people read my post exposing the carefully managed PR statements hiding the David Walliams scandal. Today, the cowardice of the British media establishment has reached an entirely new level.
Jonathan Ross just released a public statement claiming he is horrified by the allegations against Walliams and the crimes of Russell Brand.
He actually expects the public to believe he spent two decades sharing green rooms and VIP parties with these men while remaining completely blind to their behavior.
Look at the exact historical record they are trying to erase right now.
In 2004, Ross stood on a live stage at the British Comedy Awards and explicitly joked that the 15-year-old award was drunk and probably going home with David Walliams.
There is literally a photograph from 2003 showing Ross and other elite broadcasters smiling for the camera while Walliams sits right next to them with his arm draped around a teenager he is now accused of pursuing.
You do not broadcast jokes about 15-year-olds going home with a television star to millions of viewers unless the entire industry already knows exactly what the punchline means.
The British entertainment industry operated as a closed protection racket for twenty years. They turned predatory behavior into profitable television ratings and laughed off the abuse as cheeky celebrity banter.
These presenters are not releasing statements today because they are shocked by what Walliams and Brand actually did. They are releasing them because the expensive legal injunctions are finally failing, and they are terrified the public is coming for the enablers next.

Strong pro-Israel bias among BBC bosses.
BBC executives met nine times with pro-Israel Jewish groups and just once with pro-Palestinians in first 14 months of genocide👇

The Zionist apologist controlled @BBC always do this, even formerly independent minded journalists like @vicderbyshire kowtow.

“No more military aid to the extremist government in Israel… what they’ve done to the Palestinians is genocidal…” Bernie Sanders tells BBC Newsnight.
The presenter is quick to interject that “the Israeli government would deny they’re extremist…”
Why are we still doing this?

The British people have the power to stop this kind of rhetoric from the BBC. All you have to do is cancel your TV licences, refuse to pay for it, and refuse to watch it.

Just extraordinary. If someone described Putin as a dictator, would the BBC presenter interject and say "President Putin would deny he is a dictator"

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

Absolutely moronic and sociopathic. Idiotic. Pitiful. Irresponsible. Disrespectful .
I had a debate with her at a friend’s party a couple of years ago where I told her about my friend’s firsthand experience with Russell. And she dismissed it and said there’s no evidence - that he’s not being convicted of anything and it’s a witch hunt. And now he has been convicted, apparently it’s still a witch hunt.
If you are genuinely curious and want to think beyond the click-bait headlines ( I realise that will be a stretch for some of you) feel free to read what I wrote 3 years ago.

Warning: it will require more than 5 seconds of your attention.

Imagine how George Madgwick’s accusers must have felt watching that absolute fucking monster platformed by Reform under the guise of protecting women and girls.
Reform have known for months, by the way.

What a difference a year makes: Victoria Derbyshire on @BBCNewsnight:
04/11/2025: David Frum conflating #AIPAC with #Jews to attack Zohran Mamdani, → No rebuttal
04/11/2026: Bernie Sanders calls Israeli Govt "extremist" → "the #Israeli Govt would deny they are extremist"
Extraordinary that @BBCNewsnight let David Frum George Bush’s speechwriter and Iraq war supporter conflate #AIPAC with #Jews to attack @ZohranKMamdani, with zero pushback. How does such a serious conflation go unchallenged on national TV?

.@BBCNewsnight @BBCNews constant defence of extremist, genocidal Israel is
1. Embarrassing for the BBC
2. Drains credibility from the BBC
3. A betrayal of basic journalistic standards

Don't think I've ever seen a BBC editorial line as strict as making every presenter have to issue a rebuttal for Israel whenever the genocide is brought up.

Zack Polanski observes that early on the response from the media was positive, but as soon as Greta Thunberg started talking about Palestine, "they either ignore you or are quite vicious"
Greta Thunberg, "Yeah. I got into activism because of my basic human values: every human is equal, we should be kind to each other"
"Then I grew up and realised that putting those values into practice is seen as radical"
"In every children's book, the person who oppresses people is obviously the villain"
"How do we grow up up and like, this villain, he has to make compromises - at what age does that happen?"
"Whether it's Palestinians being killed or people being killed by carbon emissions, whatever the source of that human suffering, we have to go to the source"
"I grew up in a very white privileged background and didn't experience the dehumanisation the Palestinians were experiencing"
"It was overnight how the establishment turned against me for saying genocide is bad"
"I went from all the big people in power wanting to pose with me for selfies, to, overnight, it was a complete slander campaign because now she's radicalised"
"Then I'd be invited to events where they say you can talk about climate but you can't talk about politics"
"They would physically remove my keffiyeh (the scarf worn in the middle east and north Africa), or remove my microphone away from me"
"It really shows the selective solidarity people have, especially in the west"
"When I talk to people in the global south, for them it is so much more clear"
"We have reached a point of the dehumanisation of Palestinians, where speaking up for their basic human rights is seen as controversial"
My view:
Greta Thunberg tells Zack Polanski that the values behind her activism have never changed: every human being is equal, and suffering should be challenged at its source, whether caused by climate change or violence against Palestinians.
What changed, she says, was the establishment’s response. Leaders who once queued for selfies turned against her when she spoke about Palestine, portraying her as radicalised for applying the same principles consistently.
She describes invitations to discuss climate while being forbidden from discussing politics, alongside attempts to remove her keffiyeh or microphone.
For Thunberg, this exposes the selective solidarity of powerful Western institutions: celebrating human rights when convenient, then treating their defence as controversial when Palestinians are involved.
Her central question is simple: children recognise oppression as wrong and oppressors as villains. At what age do adults start excusing them as people making necessary compromises, and why does basic humanity suddenly become a radical position?

The BBC consistently interrupts every guest that criticises Israel with a defence on their behalf: “Israel would say [insert genocide justification here]”
They say they do this for “transparency” and “due impartiality”.
If they were honest about that, they would also add the other things Israel themselves have said.
Allow us to demonstrate:
1. “Israel would say [genocide justification] although Isaac Herzog, Israel’s President did say on 12 October 2023 ‘It is an entire nation out there that is responsible’”
2. “Israel would say [genocide justification]. Netanyahu did also say in a letter to his soldiers on November 2023 that Gaza is a ‘holy war of total annihilation’”
3. “Israel would say [genocide justification]. On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant also said ‘We are fighting against human animals.’”
4. “Israel Katz, the Energy Minister on 13 October 2023, did say that Gaza's civilians would ‘not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.’”
5. “Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister in August 2024 said starving two million people “might be just and moral until they return the hostages.’”
The BBC has consistently hidden behind “transparency” and “due impartiality” to defend Israel at every opportunity.
But their cherry-picking of what they say after “Israel says”, is telling of just how opaque and partial they are.
“Israel says” is not inherently bad, if one actually says what Israel says.

Victoria Derbyshire has faced a wave of criticism after defending the Israeli government’s position when Bernie Sanders described it as 'extremist' during an appearance on BBC Newsnight
🗣️'Why are we still doing this?'
big dave retweeted
It's utterly pathetic the way BBC presenters like Victoria Derbyshire are told by BBC bosses to say to outspoken interviewees like Bernie Sanders things like "President Trump and his family would deny they are corrupt", or "The Israeli Government would deny they are extremist". It's gross over-reaction to Trump libel action against the BBC.
