Newydd fod yn angladd un o bobl camera dewraf BBCNews. Dechreuodd Colin Jones fel peiriannydd electroneg, ond roedd ei galon mewn cyfleu straeon anodd, rhyfeloedd yn enwedig. Pobl fel hyn yw calon y BBC.

This as not simply populism, it's an extreme assault on public institutions and structures. The last week has been about the BBC, but comes alongside mounting attacks on judicial independence/the European Court of Human Rights. Treating each issue in isolation will see them killed off one by one.

Yep

BBC News is a news organisation. It is there to do proper news not "represent the views of its viewers" - as funneled through right wing press/social media. If the next DG understands that it will be in a far better place.

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.

Nothing quite more depressing than seeing north Wales comms/stakeholder jobs advertised at £30k requiring two languages, and similar monolingual jobs in the south of England for £50k.

once my wife signed loyalty to the Spanish constitution all she had to do was make an appointment with the cops to get her ID card. Show up with ref number, have photo taken, wait a while, receive ID card. With ID card rinse and repeat for the passport. That's the slow moving Spanish bureaucracy !!

The Memorial at Mauthasen, Austria to the some 5,000 Spanish Republicans who were murdered in the camp. Erected in 1962, I believe this is the only major memorial at Mauthausen that wasn't paid for by the respective State of the victims, but rather by donations. No surprise why...

The BBC needs maintenance work, not demolition, unless you want it replaced by a sinister clown show like Fox News, or forced to advertise to make it as shitty as everything else. If so, you don't understand what makes it unique, and quite possibly how to tie your own shoes.

The BBC is the latest part of ‘the public realm’ to feel the wrath of the right. The playbook is wearyingly similar. Underfund them. Hold them (piously) to the highest standards. Pillory them for all errors. And then co-opt, or neuter, them. 1/2

An essential precondition for authoritarianism is the neutering of sources of real news.

However valid, it's wearying that there are resignations over allegations of left-wing bias when so many of us despair every time BBC News drops everything to livestream a speech by Nigel Farage. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

It's proper David Cameron the day after the Brexit vote stuff, isn't it? "This is hard, but I can just leave".

Robbie Gibb is still there

BBC urgently need a new DG in post with vital Charter renewal just around the corner. Will have to be someone with a news background after this debacle. God knows who gets news. They’ll almost certainly want to give it to a BBC lifer. Not sure there are many candidates

He was a truly terrible director general. There were many reasons he could have gone. This is really the most preposterous and absurd.

"The main UK BBC analysis of the Caerphilly result read: 'Extraordinary by-election humbles Westminster’s big beasts' with a narrative centred on the decline of Labour & the Tories. "Plaid Cymru, who won by 11%, was the fourth party mentioned." Its leader was not. Farage had a photo AND quotes.

Vile, inhumane behaviour

Remembering a place we happened upon at Chasseneuil-sur-Bonnieure in Charente. Among the 2255 graves at the resistance memorial & military cemetery are those of the Bir Hacheim Maquis & Muslims who fought with the allied forces during WW2. (Our photo sadly out of focus, so this one c/o MdeD).

The phrase "data is the new oil" was coined by Clive Humby, a British mathematician, in 2006. The saying highlights that raw data, like crude oil, is not inherently valuable on its own but becomes powerful when extracted, refined, and used to drive insights and economic activity.

“Data is the new oil” is a brilliant way to put it…because it’s true.

As the Totò Cuffaro corruption scandal unfolds, the centre-right parties who welcomed him into the Sicilian government, despite a conviction for mafia stay mute. Silence from Fratelli d'Italia, silence from Forza Italia, above all silence from Lega, who had just formed an electoral pact with him.
