Lighthouse Daily – 17th July 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today’s update is about a 3-minute read, with a 3-minute prayer attached.
In this update:
- A Prayer to Love God with All Our Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength
- The Mountain of Evidence Exposing Fake Whistleblower Jeffrey Leigh-Jones
- A “Busted Flush”? Even the BBC Knows the Game Is Up
1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed
A Prayer to Love God with All Our Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength
“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long.” — Psalm 25:5
Today we have a very meaningful, powerful and vitally important prayer from Paul S. Waugh to share with you.
Paul was well enough to pray with the Lighthouse Global team recently. He was impelled to share this prayer for what we ought to be thinking, feeling and focusing on as soon as we wake up in the morning.

2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
The Mountain of Evidence Exposing Fake Whistleblower Jeffrey Leigh-Jones
“Yahweh detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.” — Proverbs 12:22
At the beginning of this week, we intended to share some very revealing insights about Jeffrey Leigh-Jones, regarding the financial investments he made in himself and in other individual Lighthouse Global clients… NOT investing in a company as he and the BBC deliberately misled millions to believe.
We have so much evidence in the form of video recordings, audio recordings, screenshots, and text-message exchanges that we could not fit it into short updates this week; it would have been too much, and we do not want to overwhelm you with the astonishing and shocking evidence we have.
(A huge amount of this evidence the BBC themselves actually possess — through unlawful criminal means, we might add)
As a result, we have focused on exposing Leigh-Jones for the fake whistleblower he is this week, by showing you some of the blatant, deceptive lies he has told the BBC and the world. Very soon, we will be sharing much more of the reality of Jeffrey’s character in regard to his personal, relational investments in those who once called Jeffrey “brother”, most concerningly, a brother in Christ.
In the meantime, you can learn more about Jeffrey Leigh-Jones here, at this dedicated website.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
A “Busted Flush”? Even the BBC Knows the Game Is Up
“Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.” — Proverbs 20:17
When the BBC’s own Director-General Matt Brittan describes the television licence fee as “a busted flush” and “yesterday’s model,” something revealing is happening. This is not the language of an organisation confident in its future. It is the language of an institution that knows its decades-long abusive monopoly over the public record is failing.
For generations, the BBC occupied a unique position. If the BBC reported something, it became the widely accepted “truth” on public record. If it ignored a story, millions assumed it wasn’t cognitively important. But increasingly, millions of people no longer rely on the BBC to tell them what is happening.
For those who are unfamiliar with what the term “busted flush” means, it is a poker term to describe something that once had potential but ultimately ends up being completely worthless.
So the new Director General has publicly used a gambling term to state that a licence fee forced on millions of UK citizens is essentially useless.
A licence fee that, if not paid, can result in a criminal conviction!
A licence fee that they have the audacity to describe as being “sold” to those who pay for it! The brass-necked hubris and deception are beyond astonishing.
A licence fee that has seen elderly women, even those recovering from strokes, being convicted.
A licence fee that funded a five-hour hit-piece on Lighthouse Global, compared to a mere 18-minute broadcast on convicted child sexual offender Huw Edwards, their former chief news anchor.
Please see the context box below to learn more about how the BBC tried to destroy Lighthouse Global.
How The BBC Tried to Destroy Lighthouse Through Hit Piece ‘A Very British Cult’ Using the Deceptive Guise of ‘Public Interest’
When the BBC tried to destroy Lighthouse, it deliberately presented the views of a handful of people who had clear vested interests, longstanding grievances and/or previous conflicts with us.
On one hand, five hours of one-sided fabricated and malicious allegations were given airtime.
On the other hand, on multiple occasions (both months before and after broadcast), Lighthouse was denied a fair and equivalent opportunity to present the evidence that fully vindicated us in response.
The BBC have even stated on record in their programme that they chose not to receive our evidence that would totally and categorically debunk their malicious sources’ claims.
The result was that viewers were handed a one-sided diabolical work of fiction, even though contrary evidence was readily available, offered to and rejected by the BBC.
NB: We had made it very clear to the BBC that they were making a programme without even viewing our evidence. A mere eight working days before broadcast, the BBC reluctantly offered to see our evidence, even though they were committed to their programme and would not guarantee using or publishing our evidence.
Because of their nefarious intentions, we elected not to supply our evidence because we did not trust the BBC to not abuse our evidence, which they have done in so many other instances. We stated as much to them directly via email before broadcast.
That is not honest journalism. That is not the full factual record. It is the same dangerous pattern: fan the flames of malicious allegations. Silence the targets of the top-tier Establishment. Present it as investigative journalism.
The BBC’s modus operandi is to scour the dark recesses of the internet, to use supposedly credible people (i.e. anyone without a criminal record) who have vendettas against Establishment targets. They present those people’s lies and opinions as facts to the viewing and listening public.
As a result of the attacks on Lighthouse, we are legally, lawfully, peacefully fighting for the full and comprehensive right to reply to all falsehoods, with the same time (five hours of broadcast), money (at least tens of millions of pounds) and effort granted to our false accusers for the purposes of their smear campaign.
This applies to anyone and everyone the BBC has maliciously attacked.
This would truly be impartial, unbiased and unprejudiced reporting — everything the BBC is provably not right now, while deceptively claiming so.
For the full background, please visit this page.
As trust has rapidly declined, so too has the number of households paying the licence fee, prompting the BBC to search for new funding models and openly acknowledge that the existing system is “no longer fit for purpose.”
It is not just the licence fee that’s not fit for purpose; it’s the whole BBC that is provably and evidentially not fit for purpose!
One has to ask, is the new Director General deliberately winding up the British public?! Or is this just another part of the diabolical façade that is the BBC?
The BBC pathetically argues this is simply about changing technology. But many people see the deeper truth. For years, critics have accused the Corporation of allowing its supposed commitment to impartiality to drastically erode through selective reporting, editorial bias and the persistent framing of issues through an Establishment lens. Day after day, year after year, that perceived bias has accumulated; hence, as Rupert Lowe has stated, it “drips poison every day into Britain”.
Thankfully, we can see an antidote to their poison; in the growing refusal to pay the licence fee, as well as how the BBC are desperately trying to find ways for the public to pay them through the backdoor. Such as a newly posited “household levy.” This is because people are asking a simple question: Why should they be compelled to fund a broadcaster they no longer believe represents them fairly and that they don’t trust?
When even the BBC’s own leadership admits the old model is broken and a gamble, perhaps the real question is not how to save the licence fee—but why they insist on forcing the public to pay for their services when they don’t want them, and what the viable, fair and just alternative in the media landscape ought to be?
Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.
God bless,
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

It’s fascinating how the denial of reality, the funding method is not the problem. When you look at it, if the BBC were delivering essential material that was actually fit for purpose, that helped citizens develop themselves in a positive, upbuilding and progressive way, then paying for the TV licence would be accepted.
What isn’t fit for purpose is the BBC, so any model they choose will not be right. That is why they are exploring moving it into the tax system, so people will have no choice but to pay for it. That statement is why the BBC can’t be trusted at all. They’re trying to work outside of truth and reality. They are deceivers to their core.
For the Director General to effectively say the BBC is gambling with people’s money is an abomination. He didn’t say the licence fee is not working, or that it’s run its course. He called it a busted flush. And that’s actually being generous. It’s not even that. It’s a form of control that hasn’t worked. Like an interrogation tactic that’s completely misplaced. It isn’t reaping the results, because people don’t want to be forced to pay to be lied to, and they don’t want to pay the BBC salaries of grown males raping and abusing children either. No, the licence fee isn’t busted, the BBC is. It’s a travesty and a remnant of the Empire that is falling on its own sword – while taking the likes of Jeffrey Leigh-Jones with it.
Fascinating to see how one of the first major statements on the licence fee made by the new BBC Director-General Matt Brittin is a gambling term.
It’s also very apt… gambling with the BBC’s future at the expense of the British public.
The example of A Very British Cult is indicative of this. The amount of public waste caused by the BBC based on outrightly provable falsehoods is something else. Neither the BBC nor the Insolvency Service have properly verified Jeffrey Leigh-Jones’s claims and sought to destroy us and our work based on pure fiction.
Certainly it’s by God’s grace that we’re still going and we will not stop in the pursuit of truth, justice, compensation and reform.
Thank you for this update. It is shocking that the Director General would make such a statement about the forced licence fee, which has existed for decades. After looking into this further, only a handful of Directors General appear to have questioned its sustainability and whether the licence fee remains fit for purpose.
This is despite the millions upon millions of pounds that have been paid to the BBC over the years. The question remains: will they ever change their ways?
This is why we have launched a Class Action (https://bbcclassaction.org/) against them. No one should be forced to fund an organisation that, as Rupert Lowe has described, is “dripping poison” into our society, while failing to uphold its stated purpose of serving the public interest. That purpose should be rooted in truth, impartiality and accountability — not fabrication, misrepresentation, or covering up wrongdoing.
Thank you, and God bless us all.
I actually appreciate the new Director General’s honesty, though it may have not be intended as such. This is something that I don’t think Tim Davie would have ever admitted. At least Matt Brittan is saying it like it is – very un-BBC like! Yet the fact is, this busted flush has been in operation for decades, not like the last 6 months. The BBC has been abusing its privledges for an extraordinary period of time. No private company could survive if its prior customers didn’t want its products. That’s why the BBC is so scared of losing the licence fee.
That even the new BBC Director General recognises that there are things fundamentally wrong with the BBC says a lot. Saying that the licence fee is a busted flush confirms that the BBC has abused people for far too long without consequences and without making wrongs right, even convicting elderly women for not paying their licence fee.
I pray for Mr Brittan and that he makes the right decisions, either shutting down the BBC or radically reforming the BBC from the bottom up.
Thank you as well for sharing Paul S. Waugh’s prayer. The messages about connecting with God straight after waking up are very powerful.
Thank you as well for the heads up regarding what will be shared next week about Jeffrey Leigh-Jones and how he betrayed those he once called brothers. I’m looking forward to it.
Interesting that the Establishment are willing to openly semi-concede how much of a “busted flush” the BBC is, given that they probably realise most of the youngest generations now (whose minds they’d be most interested indoctrinating) aren’t interested in the BBC at all. Whatever platform it’s on. Their support base is more the baby boomers and so that support is aging with that generation, which obviously isn’t sustainable long term. That’s a long way though from accepting and admitting how much of a decrepit lying and manipulative Propaganda platform it is though and all the damage and destruction its caused so many people.
It seems that every time someone says something from the BBC, they reveal more about their unconscionable character. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the article with Matt Britton saying this regarding the household levy:
“BBC director-general Matt Brittin has said the corporation needs to be “open to all options” for funding, including a household levy.” Typical of the BBC and their sleights of hand- they claim the licence fee is yesterday’s model but move in quick with the levy as another way to force money out of citizens that are increasingly losing all trust for them!
The busted flush idiom is deeply revealing but also SO insulting to all those who have been prosecuted for non payment of the licence fee. Will they be receiving compensation? No because if they had to do that they would go bankrupt. It is an abomination that the BBC refuses to change to a subscription model where those who want it pay for it, and instead it is looking to once again force itself on the public through a levy or tax. I hope the British people refuse in the strongest terms to allow them to do this.
It’s saying something, when the BBC’s director general is actually saying what he is about the licence fee. It’s an activity that we, the public are forced to pay for something and in doing so, are contributing towards malicious use of forced tax payers money.
Lighthouse have set out to correct the record, and that is exactly what they are doing. Paul and all in Lighthosue have been maliciously attacked and yet, are still forced to pay the licence fee. It’s great to hear that so many now, are refusing to pay it…
When speaking about a subscription / advertising model Mr Brittin said in the article linked above;
“We would stop being universal, we’d actually stop being the BBC that we know,” he added.
Good.
That’s exactly what we want!!
100 years ago, the licence fee was introduced to fund development and deployment of this ‘new thing’ called radio and it was a good decision a century ago! Now however, we should all have the choice to pay for the programming and creators we want to see and more importantly, who earn our trust.
