 I am becoming more and more disillusioned with the BBC every day. When I complied to them recently about what I consider to be one-sided reporting on the conflict in Ukraine, I was fobbed off with a load of tosh.

My complaint was not about content or opinions etc, it was about there being no BBC reporting from the other side of the conflict. Everything is "Zelensky says" or "Ukrainian officials report" etc. After Clive Myrie had made a valiant 9 day stand holed up in his 5 star hotel in Kyiv and legged it, leaving his colleagues to carry on in his wake, (to be fair to the man, there was an air raid near by during his time there) all BBC reporting has continued from Kyiv with one or two isolated reports from Lviv. Nothing from Mariupol, Donetsk or Lugansk.

Today, they have sunk to a new low. They are apparently refusing to report on the desecration of British & Commonwealth war graves at the Jonkerbos cemetery in Nijmegen. For those that didn't know, there are over 1,500 graves in this cemetery. The morons responsible painted slogans such as "Fuck Russia" across headstones. I wonder who might have done that? Well, we don't need to wonder. They signed their work and this can be seen here:

Yes. It was the work of the BBC's darlings, Ukrainians, claiming to be supporting the BBC's other darlings, the Nazi Azov Battalion.

Other newspaper articles can be seen here:

Notice too the date this happened: It was the Dutch Remembrance Day. Imagine if this had happened in England on November 11th!

There are reports around the web criticising the actions of Ukrainian refugees throughout Europe and it could be summed up as becoming a serious nuisance.

Let's give the BBC some time though. Of wait! If I, an ignorant old codger who has never been near a journalism school, can discover and read about this incident, can it be possible that the BBC just haven't noticed it?

No, I don't think so either.
