No to the potential new BBC household tax

 

The New BBC Tax?

The number of BBC licence fee payers went down by over 800,000 in the last two years. This is causing financial problems for the BBC. Whilst we at CUT may be happy about that, given the damage the Corporation has done to the fabric of society, it has also generated calls from within the BBC for a new form of household tax to fund it. They are now asking the Government to change the law and make all those who watch streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime pay the licence fee, which will go solely to the BBC. Therefore, they want us to pay for their failure; if the household tax were to come about, then in no other form of media or corporation collapse would so be rewarded.

At the moment, one only needs to pay the BBC tax if one watches anything live, or records anything live and replays it. One does not need to pay the licence fee if one watches on-demand videos and programmes, such as a pre-recorded programme or film on ITV, Netflix, or videos on YouTube, and this is what they want to change. At the moment, 1 in 8 households do not pay a licence fee, about 3.6 million households. The BBC lost 300,000 in the year up to 15^th July 2025 and a whopping further 540,000 in the year up to the 14^th July 2026.

The demonic portal

The demonic portal that many claim the TV to be is not neutral; it actively takes sides and, more often than not, portrays the sensational as the norm. It always takes the left-of-field stance in all things; the BBC is DEI writ large. Those who work at the BBC have core values that are the opposite of Christian values. They are pro-abortion, pro-homosexual activity, pro-transgender, very lenient on immigration in all its forms, politically they lean to the left, and Labour would like to keep it that way.

The BBC should stand on its own two feet

Impinging on freedom

For those who believe that paying the licence fee goes against their conscience, there will be no way out. There is talk of a household tax, but we already have a household tax in the Council Tax, so this would be an extra household tax, or that any form of watching internet content, even pre-recorded social media on YouTube or streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime, could require a TV licence.

We suggest that you contact your MP and register your protest. We are in favour of abolishing the TV Licence fee altogether and making the BBC stand on its own two feet like all other channels.

Ann Widdecombe a voice in the wilderness

 

Ann Widdecombe, RIP

Faithful Catholic and as outspoken voice in the wilderness of the

modern media, and political arena

Ann Widdecombe official portrait 2019 

It is perhaps not surprising that Ann Widdecombe converted to the Catholic faith; she was fearless in the face of criticism and unafraid to stand for the truth and proclaim traditional family values. And it was being a faithful Christian that made her leave the Church of England, stating that “I left the Church of England because there was a huge bundle of straw. The ordination of women was the last straw, but it was only one of many. For years, I had been disillusioned by the Church of England's compromising on everything. The Catholic Church doesn't care if something is unpopular.”

She knew nonsense when she saw or heard it and was not afraid to speak up for family values, especially against far-left and LGBT totalitarianism. She consistently opposed further reforms to the age of consent that gave equal rights to homosexuals. She wanted to protect vulnerable young men from predatory homosexual culture. She was one of the last British politicians of note who spoke with conviction; her Christian faith governed everything she said. She was also very funny and self-deprecating, and this, despite her strong and outspoken views, made her a loved national treasure.

Perhaps it is predictable that the darlings of the left and the national mainstream media actually posted sick social media statements celebrating her death. One of the nastiest came from “Gay” rights campaigner Peter Tatchell posting on X, “She opposed every gay law reform for 40 years, supporting every legal discrimination against LGBTs. … She also backed bids to ‘cure’ homosexuality & said people should have the right to discriminate against LGBT, BIGOT!”  We say bigot yourself, Mr Tatchell! The Socialist Worker newspaper went one step further in their disgusting headline, stating “Hurrah! Ann Widdecombe is strictly dead”. Given that Ann Widdecombe was receiving death threats and was murdered, should these people be prosecuted under the hate speech laws? Peter Tatchell has deleted his X post and apologised (sort of) but only because of the backlash. 

Devon and Cornwall Police were quick to state that they are looking for a “white” male; these days, police are always quick to note when a white male is involved.

Ann Widdecombe, a great lady and faithful Christian, may she rest in peace.

Are aliens demons?

 

Disclosure Day will mess with Christian’s Faith – Really?

Steven Spielberg, whilst discussing his new film Disclosure Day, about aliens and intelligent life beyond Earth, has said that it will challenge and may even destroy what Christian’s believe. Why just Christians, and why didn’t he suggest this with his other films, such as Close Encounters and others? Spielberg seems to be obsessed with aliens. Also, why not other films and books, such as The War of the Worlds or 2001, etc how come these did not destroy Christian belief?

The film’s main character, played by Emily Blunt, an ex-nun in the story, questions her beliefs and loses her faith. This has had many Christians accuse Spielberg of trying to destroy Christianity. Spielberg, a Jew, hardly ever mentions Christianity in his movies; in fact, Hollywood films for the most part ignore Christianity except to attack it, or make horror films about nuns. Could it be that because there is a large Jewish presence in Hollywood, therefore Christianity doesn’t figure, they make films for a Christian audience but not positive films about our faith.

Do aliens exist?

Let’s look at the facts: 1) There is no evidence of intelligent alien life in our solar system. 2) The closest star to our sun is called Proxima Centauri, which is 4.25 light-years away, about 25 trillion miles away. If the Earth were the size of a pea, the distance to Proxima would be the same as from New York to Sydney, and scientists do not believe there is any life associated with Proxima. 3) The Galaxy is vast, and the distances are too big for anything to cross. The Universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, and nothing can travel faster than light, so it is impossible for anything to get here, if it exists. 4) Scientists have been trying since the 50s to detect signals from outer space and alien civilisation, but none have been found.

So what are all these UFOs?

Many scientists explain UFOs as being natural phenomena or psychological effects. Some are just bright lights, such as the planet Venus, optical illusions, camera lens effects, or even hallucinations. Many today are, you guessed it, drones!

Are they demons?

Some suggest that beings (if they actually exist) that look like aliens could be the result of demonic activity. Washington’s archbishop, Cardinal Robert McElroy, on the 3rd June 2026, removed the diocese exorcist, Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, for suggesting that UFOs and aliens could be demonic activity, as this does not comply with the Church’s teachings. However, Cardinal McElroy is often at odds with the Church’s teachings on matters of sexuality, particularly homosexual activity, so perhaps he should dismiss himself while he is at it?

Conclusion

I very much doubt the existence of aliens or, at the very least, the ability of UFOs to travel from another planetary system. Therefore, aliens do not exist outside of fiction, but demons do. People who claim that Christian’s faith will be shattered because of Spielberg’s film are delusional; perhaps the film is dangerous by being demonic?

Playing the Race card

 

Two-tier Media

Two-tier Policing

When anyone talks about racism, it always implies that the victims of racism are from an ethnic minority. However, it is clear that the main victims of racism today are the indigenous white population of any given Western Country, or those who are Christians of any colour throughout the world.  And the media, led by the BBC and the Guardian Newspaper, will not admit this. The case of the murder of Henry Nowak is an example of this. The police who arrived at the scene were told by the Sikh murderer, Vickrum Digwa, and his family that they were the victims of a racist attack. They ignored Nowak’s pleas that he had been stabbed and could not breathe. The police recorded this and put handcuffs on him, read him his rights. While Nowak died, anyone who saw the video can’t help but be deeply disturbed that an innocent young white man died, while his murderer lied to the police, who believed the Sikh simply because he played the race card.

Henry Nowak being handcuffed whilst he died

Nowak recorded the moments leading up to the attack on his phone, which revealed no racism, just Nowak singing to himself. Digwa then attacked Nowak, stabbing him four times. Vickrum Digwa’s brother phoned the police. The whole Digwa family closed ranks, lied to the police, and hid the murder weapon. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp told the House of Commons that the "police appeared more concerned with the accusation of racism than they were with helping Henry".

The breaking of the thin Blue Line.

The police, of course, are in the front line, and with an ever-divergent and dysfunctional society its getting ever more difficult for them to function properly. Without the police, there would be total anarchy. We must, of course, support the police, but at the same time we must point out that if they are under instructions to always believe the ethnic minority first, that this is wrong, especially when claims of racism have been made, for ethnic minorities are not stupid and if playing the race card gets them leverage, then they will play it. This undermines the police, for if they lose the support of the majority indigenous population, then we are all in danger.

           Of course, being a media study organization CUT undersands that the British main stream media led by the BBC and the Guardian take it for granted the racisim is a white problem, however they are wrong, the treatment of young white girls by Packistani gangs show us a different story. It is actually the native Brits who are the victims of racism, and until the MSM starts to tell it as it is, this type of crime will continue. A big step toward fixing the problem would be to disband the BBC and hold the Guardian accountable for its bias.

DEI the media and Human resources

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is being pushed by all forms of the modern media, it is the new orthodoxy and heaven forbid if you question it. However, that is just what I’m going to do. The DEI situation in most British companies is completely out of hand; Human Resources (HR) department employees with degrees in the humanities have skewed the workforce into accepting all sorts of Woke scenarios. A case in point is customer service departments; these need people with first-rate English language skills to answer customer questions. This is no longer the case; many customer service departments are staffed with people who can’t speak English well enough to do their jobs properly. Earlier this year, I was persuaded to join British Gas from OVO, it seemed like a good deal. However, we soon noticed that our Economy 7 heaters were actually using daytime electricity at the more expensive day rate. Therefore, I called British Gas to inform them that the metering system has been wrong since the changeover. Then the problems really started. I was passed from one operator to another across different departments; none of these operators could speak English properly or had the technical knowledge to solve the problem. I was passed among different operatives in various departments; I suspect that some of these operatives were not even based in the UK! I had to repeat the same story that the night storage heaters were on during the day. Each customer service operator could barely grasp what I was slowly and patiently explaining to them; each one was obviously not someone who had English as a first language. Heaven forbid that I should show some frustration, as the warning at the start of these calls states, “These calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes.” So after an hour and a half on the phone being passed from one operator to another who neither knew how to fix the problem nor could even speak English very well, I was told that the problem would be fixed asap. – A week later, it still hadn’t been fixed, and during a cold snap we either had to turn our heaters off or face exorbitant bills. I phoned again and was pleasantly surprised that this time the customer service operator was a native English speaker, understood the problem right away, contacted an engineer who simply and remotely amended the timing on our smart meter, no fuss, and we had the heaters again on at the right time. Should paying customers be subject to all this DEI nonsence?

The Odyssey 2026

 Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’

exemplifies all that’s wrong with modern Hollywood

There is nothing like a good old sword-and-sandals Hollywood epic: Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Jason and the Argonauts. However, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is nothing like a good old Hollywood epic. Costing around 250 million dollars, it’s typical of modern Hollywood nonsense, more about propaganda than profit, and Oscars than being faithful to the source material. They are willing to take a financial hit if the film ticks all the diversity boxes set by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to be eligible for Oscar nominations. Please click here to see how silly this is:

Representationand Inclusion Standards | Oscars.org | Academy of Motion Picture Arts andSciences

Therefore, whether you win an Oscar or not is more about inclusion and diversity than about making the best film. Nolan has sold his artistic integrity for a gold statue. For example, Helen of Troy is a black woman, Lupita Nyong’o from sub-Saharan Africa, who also plays her sister, a good actress wasted in the wrong part. Homer has Helen of Troy as white with blond hair and blue eyes. Zendaya, who plays Athena, the goddess of wisdom, etc., is also miscast; her performance in Dune is particularly wooden, but given that I’m not that keen on Dune anyway, finding it quite boring and long, perhaps she is just ordinary. 

More typical Hollywood lunacy is the casting of Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) as Achilles, a trans woman to play the greatest warrior in Western Literature! 

Who is the greatest warrior in Western Literature?
Clue - its not the one on the right.

And the narrator is rap singer Travis Scott, cast as the bard – You can’t make this stuff up. Oh yes, you can, because the whole film is based on the faulty translation/reimagining of Homer's Odyssey by progressive feminist classicist Emily Wilson, who is purported to be the first woman to translate Homer's epic poem into English.

Praised by the New York Times Magazine for being a ‘radically contemporary voice,’ however, this feminist version doesn’t seem to be contemporary to Homer work. Let’s hope the film fails epically for the sake of future filmmaking.

Happy Easter 2026

     

Happy Easter

Keeping our eyes on the Lord.

During Eastertide it’s always good to be positive for the Lord has risen; He has claimed victory over death and sin; the very event that formed the Christian world, Christendom, the culture that exists in Christian majority countries throughout the world; for it is these countries that formed the bedrock of modern civilisation.

This bedrock is the fertile breeding ground for the inventions that have advanced society, a society with Christianity and Christian values at its core makes these advancements all the more stronger. If one contrasts the theologies of the Third World one often sees squaller and a mess, Islam, Hindu, Sikhism, Buddhism all harbour chaos. Only Japan seems to have managed prosperity that doesn’t enslave their populations, although working themselves to death sometimes doesn’t always make even Japan attractive.

Scott Mills

One too many BBC scandals

Once again we turn our attention to the BBC, our sad public broadcaster, for even to watch live broadcasts from any media source we have to pay a licence fee to the BBC. And the BBC have been in trouble again, this time its the radio broadcaster Scott Mills, a homosexual who has had serous sexual offence allegations with a boy under the age of 16 levelled at him. Mills was questioned in 2018 by Scotland Yard and the BBC has refused to answer questions as to if it was aware of the investigations.    

              Mills came out as “Gay” which of course is a total disrespect to his wife and children, at the
time he was lauded by the media for being so “brave”; which is totally ridiculous for it is those who are “straight” who are ignored, demoted and attacked even by the main stream media these days, often for being “toxic, white and heterosexual ”. Mills was hauled in front of BBC executives for crisis talks, his contract was terminated the next day.

              Given that “Gays” have a predilection to sex with young boys (known in the Gay community as boy love) we wonder how many more scandals of this sort are yet to surface at the BBC. For the Corporation is loaded with homosexuals. Let us qualify that not every homosexuals is prone to child abuse but the ratio is far higher than the population in general.

BBC ignore riot in M&S Clapham High Street.

Why did the BBC ignore a serious riot at Marks and Spencer, Clapham High Street? It was a major incident with over a hundred rioters involved, the police were called and there was a stand-off. Who were these youths and why did this riot happen? The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan believes that its all to do with Donald Trump spreading misinformation, and algorithms of hate? However, the many videos that have immerged of this riot show mainly ethnic ferial gangs, who were shoplifting and then turned on the police. It would seem that these gangs are well organised and will target a shop, particularly a store like Marks in large numbers and steal as much as they can get away with before the police arrive. Then they attack the police and run off with their loot. That the BBC is ignoring this is a disgrace, it has been a long time since the BBC truly reflected the majority of the British People, their culture and views.

Another Trans killer

 

The media hid the gender of the Trans Shooter

When I first became aware that there was another tragic mass shooting, this time in Canada, the shooter was being described as a female in a dress. I thought at the time that this was a strange way of describing the shooter; it crossed my mind immediately that this was probably a man in a dress, most likely himself a victim of the Trans ideology. And this turned out to be right, yet another mentally ill member of the Alphabet People community.

The media, of course, wanted to hide the fact that the shooter was really a Trans man; it doesn’t fit the modern narrative. They would rather that the shooter was a white right wing strait man, but this was not the case. It has become ever more clear that there is a serious problem with Trans people; they are, in fact, mentally unstable, and this is why they are transitioning in the first place.

Nine more victims, mostly children, plus the shooter is dead! How many more children have to die like this before this dreadful surgical and Trans drugs are banned forever?

Please prayer for  victims, some are badly injured and may die.
