TV News viewers in NZ can sympathise — widespread annoyance with the same “woke, wet” attitudes of the BBC exists here with TV1 and Newshub, which are often seen as the joint propaganda arm of the present government.

A former Downing Street adviser is behind a secret new project to set up an ‘impartial’ television news channel to rival the crisis-hit BBC, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Sir Robbie Gibb – who was a senior BBC executive before becoming Theresa May’s director of communications at No. 10 – is spearheading a drive to raise funds for GB News.
The 24-hour station, due to launch early next year, aims to capitalise on growing discontent over the BBC, with sources describing it as an antidote to the ‘woke, wet’ Corporation.
The BBC has been rocked by a series of controversies over what’s seen as its politically correct agenda, culminating in public outrage over its decision last week to perform Land Of Hope And Glory and Rule Britannia without their patriotic lyrics at the Last Night Of The Proms.

Anyone who buys into this narrative of the BBC needs their heads examining. This is clearly a bid by Bojo and his cronies to avoid scrutiny of their oft dodgy dealings by undermining the only impartial news organisation left in the UK. I should know, I worked for the BBC in the UK as a journo for five years. Impartiality and accuracy were drilled into us from the get go. So next time you here the words “woke” and “wet” ask yourself what the real agenda is.

It has been known for years that the BBC is a community voice for the Left, and not to trust what it comes out with. Looking forward to the new GB community voice, as long as it tells the truth. The only truth you can get at the present is on the French Channel (Sky #97).
