The BBC covers news by selecting the items that confirm its views and suppressing the rest and takes news items out of context. Here are examples of BBC suppression over the past two weeks. The BBC has a Charter responsibility to put the news in context.
The WHO will investigate the origin of COVID19 but has excluded the two Wuhan virology labs from any investigation. It has not explained why. Only the possibility that the virus jumped from an animal to man will be investigated and the possibility that an animal virus was being studied in the virology labs that then jumped to man due to an escape of infection from the lab is not being investigated at all.

An excellent example of BBC tactics was the coverage of how Churchill deserves to be a target of BLM and other movements (Today Programme 21/7/2020). The article described the terrible Bengal famine of 1943 and how Churchill apparently failed to act and therefore that Churchill was evil. Had the BBC put this in context it would have covered the fall of Burma to the Japanese, the resulting refugee crisis in Bengal, the Calcutta air raids, the shipping of food reserves out of the area in preparation for the possible Japanese advance, the fact that the UK was not a dictatorship run by Churchill etc. etc. Any balanced history of the period would have shown that the situation was complex and desperate. It might even have mentioned the Bangladesh Famine of 1974 in the same region that killed 1.5m in less desperate circumstances. The de-contextualising of Churchill's actions turned the BBC article into a diatribe against Churchill and England.
The BBC has reported on its broadcast news that the latest EU summit reached "agreement" with a 720bn euro package. What actually happened? It was agreed that there would be 360bn euros in grants and 360bn in loans with disbursement of the money to start on 1st January 2021 and spread over three years. Where there are fears that reforms are not being implemented by member states in receipt of money, any one EU leader can halt the disbursement to allow the European council of the 27 heads of state and government to “exhaustively” debate the situation. (Guardian, Politico ). Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said: "It’s the first time the EU borrows money to give it as grants to countries. So it's really a game-changer in terms of how this monetary union, how this European Union works." The BBC suppressed coverage of how the deal permits the EU to dictate domestic policy in recipient members. The dependency engendered by this deal means there will now be no Grexits etc.
The BBC has been covering up the Chinese and WHO involvement in COVID19 for months. Here are the latest items that have been suppressed:
A Chinese worker in a Canadian lab shipped lethal pathogens to Wuhan for research ( Summit News ). The culprit, Dr Xiangguo Qiu, was removed from Canada’s level-4 bio-lab following an investigation concerning a “policy breach”.

Dr Li Meng-Yan flees Hong Kong to tell how the Chinese government suppressed details of coronavirus ( Fox News ).

The BBC is now finding it impossible to protect China from its dreadful record of human rights abuse. It is covering the concentration camps for Uighurs but is omitting the general plight of the Tibetans and especially that of the whole population.

It is probable that the BBC has been infiltrated by corrupt and extremist staff over the past 50 years and is failing to exert any managerial control over the fairness and context of content. Bad staff are hiring bad staff. The net result is that the BBC is pro-EU, pro-China and anti-British, especially anti-English. This must be stopped.

The BBC is deliberately using Historical Presentism to damage the UK. The BBC is now the greatest threat to the stability and future of the UK. It cannot be the role of the National Broadcaster to do this. The BBC has almost no positive output about Britain. Something must be done. The staff must be changed and BBC World Service/Global must be removed from the BBC.
