    Andrew Neil is keeping Newsnight’s head above water. That section on Newsnight with Wark interviewing mostly “Yes” supporters was awful. Just a chance for them to indulge in expressing sour grapes.

    Dateline Scotland (wtf?) today was similarly about defeated and moribund guests.

      Looks like the BBC are out to trash the ‘No’ voters as this article outlines clashes in Glasgow last night. Note how it’s only the Unionists who are described as ‘thugs’ despite there been two opposing groups. All the photos are of Union Jack toting ‘thugs’ too.

      The BBC also reports a stabbing and a fire neither of which, it says, took place. It should be obvious to the meanest intelligence that these were SNP lies to inflame their supporters but the Unionists get the blame nonetheless

      It’s that ‘Subjective Truth’ again.

        I have no doubt that most (not all – outside of BBC post-incident revisionism self defence can be necessary and legitimate) clashes between groups involve unsavoury elements more interested in the heat of battle than the light of peaceful dialogue and persuasion.

        However, given the woeful proven record of the UK establishment, from the police through the law to the media, all malignly overseen and guided by a corrupt state machine, the way the BBC describes protagonists and their actions in such cases has gone from partial to propaganda so often the safe assumption is to assume the exact opposite of what they claim and/or wheel out to claim it.

        In the latter I include senior police officials and government Ministers as much as the inevitable community gob4rent who just happens to be in the vicinity chatting to Paul Mason.

    I note the bBC is now bleating on about England wanting more power to the regions. Eh? It was rejected some while back when put to the vote but the beboids have very short memories plus of course it sits well with the bBC pro-europe stance on regionalisation and de-nationalising countries within its control.
    Please can someone tell them that the English just want ENGLAND.

  4. Notice that this regional powers crap is developing it own momentum. No one wants it. English Parliament yes. But regional assemblies? No one wanted it before. Why now?

    There’s all this rubbish about second class MP’s but what about second class citizens? The English.

    The English are waking up and if they, the Westminster and MSM gang, think the Scots were tough they will have just a bigger fight when the angry overworked, overlooked, over taxed, under funded English vent their anger. The big three may discard Clacton (thank you Mr. Parris) but I believe England’s revolution might come from the sneering media’s most despised county – Essex.

    UKIP will be the flag bearers.

      Not without a heck of a push it isn’t.

      From BBC to Classic FM (whose news offering is almost enough to make me forget to switch back on after hitting the mute top of the hour to regain the music), I have been assaulted by the most bizarre pr as news all day. It seems Labour’s spinners have been busy trying to weave some silk from the sow’s ear of their party’s recent role up North.

      So we get what Ed will be doing and what Gordon won’t be allowing.

      I know it’s Labour’s conference week and all, but last I knew they were not in power and probably need to be to become the government too many media types require installed.

      And, as you say, no matter how often they tell it, if it’s not what the English public want, and now know they want, serving up what they want like an Ocado order clerk having a substitution crisis is just going to range from daft to downright bent.

      • Agreed. Has anyone bothered to ask the proles this side of the border? A resounding NO to regional assemblies. Politics is crooked enough without another layer of dodgy party appointed stooges If Rotherham is anything to go by. But the BBC and Labour spin doctors are doing their damnedest.
        Labour have p@ssed on their chips I reckon, hated by Labour supporting Yes voters north of the border and the white working class south of it. Snake like Cameron has twisted himself a good one on the nitwit Millband. And with this regional assemblies rubbish proposed after the next election by Labour (always after isn’t it) I think we are beginning to smell a great dirty rat .

      The usual answer is because it wouldn’t get made mainly because without subsidy films like this usually make a loss. Also how would they get their propaganda out otherwise? This one may break even due to the hype and the gay mafia habit of supporting any old crap as long as its gay.

      As to the almost aptly named Kermode why does any one pay attention to the views of someone who thinks Rockabilly is still relevant?

    No BBC mouthpiece or commentator – that I have heard/seen – has noted that there was no mandate for the triplets’ bribery of the Scots, nor is there any mandate for regionalisation or anything else. Cameron’s aim for a “bill by January” is an insult to us and our constitution. BTW, monarchist that I am, IMHO the Queen by remaining quiet on this proposed constitutional tinkering is not upholding her Coronation oath to protect the constitution. In the same way, AFAIAA, she sat there while Blair/Brown tore the constitution to bits (eg trying to abolish the Lord Chancellorship – an 800 year old office – in an afternoon).
    Meanwhile, as others have commented, Brown has risen from the dead and is being given credit for saving the union he very nearly destroyed. To say the least this is crap of a high order and the pricinciple of post hoc ergo propter hoc (afterwards therefore because of) should be doubted in this instance. The spectacle of Brown throwing himself around wrapped in th union flag would, I suspect, have nil effect on anybody claiming sanity (as well as those nutters who were/are prepared to vote for him)

      There is an easy way to measure the impact of Brown’s intervention and the last minute bribery, if any journalist can be bothered to look. Compare the Yes/No balance in the postal votes, sent in before the panic attack, with the Yes/No balance of the votes cast in person. If there was a significant rise in the No vote on 18th then Brown’s intervention was important. If the proportions are about the same then he and the panic bribes were irrelevant. But you’d have to be a real journalist to look at that.

    The BBC news droids are wetting themselves today because apparently two bearded imam wonders from the rop have produced a video urging the IS scum not to execute the British taxi driver they are holding hostage. According to the droids, when this is combined with the fact that a hundred bearded wonders have also written a letter to the IS scum urging the same this is clear evidence that Britain’s moderate Muslims want to distance themselves from IS.

    Yea right….on the other hand it might just be that these “moderate” Muslims are a whole lot smarter than you lefty liberal fantasists and that they know full well that you believe in multi culti nirvana fairy tales and that you just love to broadcast them as reality !………oh by the way, did you know that Santa Claus is a gay lesbian transvestite with a spare bedroom that he is not using….looking forward to your news report on this.

Beeboid tells us WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS, i.e. that their case should be considered in the first country & if their case fails they should be returned from whence they came.

    And the BBC will not be leaving Glasgow or those few rare pockets of Braveheart stirrings any time soon.

    Interesting views from the Polling site UKpolling.

    It’s as a heads up for the majority view, and to measure the BBCs ‘impartiality’ and if it is truly reflecting the public mood.

    ‘Asked about English devolution 71% of people thought that Scottish MPs should not be able to vote on issues that affect only England (including the majority of Scottish respondents in the poll), 15% of people thought they should.’

    This will create problems, that a Labour government might have a majority, but when it comes to English tax raising, they might not have. It’s unlikely to affect the Tories who have no Scottish MPs and are unlikely to have any either!

    ‘65% said that Scottish MPs should by banned from voting on English laws at Westminster, 59% would support an English Parliament.’

    Even more of an issue for a Labour government.

    ‘Survation also asked what the top priority should be for the government – 31% said immigration, 20% the economy, 9% jobs, 9% public services, 6% combating terrorism and down on 5% constitutional reform.’

    So, the top priority of the English is immigration, and presumably decreasing it. Not that this is reflected by the BBC who appear to believe that the priority is in increasing it as much as possible!

    Labour has a 5 point lead over the Tories, but Milliband still has appalling personal ratings.

      Could there be a pattern here?

      Could it be that the BBC however much it tries to tell us it is not ‘leftie’ biased is on a daily basis doing exactly that?

      You never know they might just be totally unable to do so since BBC recruiting might have a lefty slant and the ‘red mist’ naturally clouds NUJ who should be reporting without fear or favour. This is totally against their remit, since we need to know all elected representatives in their political reporting?

      Have you complained to BBC about this Englands Dreaming?

      The scale of this type of biased reporting I find is quite surprisingly high throughout the BBC and possibly the only way to get them to stop it is to ensure they know each and every time by complaint, (copy in your MP and all Culture Media and Sport Committee members, who are having to decide on the 2016 Licence Review).

    The BBC’s bias traits have long extended the devolution debate. 11 years ago the Labour establishment, in attempting to answer England’s devolution “question”, offered us “regional assemblies”. Starting with a referendum in the “north east” [England] on the matter.

    As we know the idea was outstandingly rejected and Mr (Welsh) Prescott’s dream of regionalising England was dead in the water. This is despite the BBC hammering into people’s heads that the “north east” is somehow different to the rest of England and that England does not deserve its own parliament, in par with Scotland.

    Not once then did the BBC propose what a large proportion of English people deemed fair, which is an English Parliament.

    If the BBC were not bias, they would be proposing every possible solution. Starting with a possible parliament for old England.

    But no, instead they had to harp on about “region” this and “region” that. All we heard about was “regional assemblies”. F**k the BBC and their establishment “regions”! We don’t want “regions” and we have never had “regions” in England. We have counties not regions.

    Here we are, 11 years later and the BBC along with their Labour counter-parts are at it again… using the Scottish Independence Referendum to hi-jack and implant the idea of “regions” AGAIN into people’s minds. As if THEIR idea of “regions” is the only way forward and the only answer to England’s devolution problem.

    Nobody, including the BBC, should assume that the people of England do not what for their country what has been granted to Scotland. We are frequently told by the likes of the BBC that “Scotland is a proud and historic nation” – errr… well so is England! So why do we see this establishment attempting to dismantle England into powerless EU regions?

    England; say no to having your country regionalised. Demand an equal national voice for England.

      Funny how when devolution for Scotland was first proposed, the idea of Scotland being regionalised was never considered even though, if anything, Scotland has way more distinct regional characteristics (Highland, Western Isles, Shetland, Orkney, Central Belt, Lowlands etc) than even England has (which is still effectively Anglo-Saxon, especially if you remove the immigrant trash).
      Regional characteristics within England existed until the mid to late nineteenth centuries. If you’d asked anyone what they were, they’d have said ‘Lancastrian’ or ‘Yorkshire’ before they said English. People were Lancastrian first, English second. It should be said though, that Lancashire had no history of running itself like say, Hesse in Germany. It was always part of England.
      This changed with increased communications, the railways, canal and roads that began to knit people together. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the furthest people may have travelled was to the next village, the Lake District would be like the North West Frontier for most people. By the turn of the nineteenth century people were living cheek by jowl with each other … and they began to become English first.
      Labour’s position is, as usual, wrong on this. Cameron could well be playing politics but Milliband and Labour are no different. No wonder Labour are worried, their idiotic slap-dash plans for Scottish devolution are finally bearing fruit – maybe, an answer to the West Lothian question shamefully unanswered by the political elite, the Barnett Formula tackled, a Scotland finally fed up with Labour for keeping them in shit-holes for years* – and even if that doesn’t happen at least we’ll be around to witness the Labour Party’s death spasms as they finally destroy themselves. I can’t wait.

          I’d say it’s rude and unhelpful, but no more. Can’t expect people to be overly tactful towards an influx which has done so much damage. Certainly no worse than some of the anti-White stuff heard on the BBC – not that that justifies anything.

        My last encounter with our glorious multicultural society involved an African man shouting at me for accidentally brushing past him in a shop. You should’ve heard the language; I don’t think he like the fact that I touched him. I’m guessing from his accent he’s only just arrived here … reminds me of that Powell speech about the black man having the whip hand. Just round the corner from me, a Pakistani murdered his white girlfriend and then broke the window with the aim of blaming a burglar. Dumb fucker broke the window from the inside leaving glass on the outside. He got about 14 years. Everyday, I open a paper to see another immigrant involved in some despicable crime, like the Latvian suspect in the missing girl case, so, if you’ll pardon old theologian, I’ll describe them as trash because that’s exactly what they are.

      It’s all starting to smell like a reprise of the Eu referendum in Eire, when the usual suspects whinged over and over about having another stab until they got the result they wanted, at which point everything was off the table and locked away in perpetuity.

      It’s one of the less wonderful quirks of democracy that those who would see it removed will first use it to gain power enough to do that.

      It’s possible that even within Tony Blair’s lifetime the consequences of him, Gordon & cabal’s desire to rub people’s noses in things will get laid out in all their glory, and they can go to their maker haunted by what they did to their country & kids.

    Just going through the news and have noticed how the bBC is on full on mode regards how the English have stabbed the Scots in the back for not implementing the changes promised to them fast enough.
    So they voted thursday, result on friday and today is Sunday. And yet to the people who hate anything fastfood, this isn’t fast enough. which is why I have seen the bBC allow:
    Milliband
    Salmond
    and a few so called experts berate the English for having not implemented these changes.

        I know this because while the BBC predictably is doing the best it can to help Ed any way it can, Ch4 at least acknowledges the bleedin’ obvious…

        Ed and Scotland: damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t

        Labour desperately wants to get its party conference onto winning the next election, but it is still shrouded in the aftermath of the Scotland vote. Ed Miliband was having to brush off the analysis that he’s been skewered by David Cameron over English votes for English laws. The claim is that if the promise to Scotland of more powers is reneged upon it is Labour that will suffer (the Tories have virtually nothing to lose in Scotland), and if he caves in over Scottish MPs not voting on English laws he could render himself impotent in future Labour governments.
        He shifted a bit on the fairness of Scottish MPs voting on English matters saying he’d welcome more “scrutiny” for English MPs. That might be a nod towards giving English MPs sole word over the committee stage of a bill – but that won’t satisfy Conservatives. I spoke with Alex Salmond earlier, who says no voters were tricked and is talking up future stabs at independence. I’ll be talking live with Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt.

        As C4 seems to be acting here more like a news medium than propagandist, that interview with one of Labour’s lesser brains (saying something) may be interesting.

    When? – are Muslim councillors going to get questioned
    in the same manner as everyone else?

    Pakistani Muslim involvement is suspect at every level over Rotherham, Council, Children s Services, Local Government even so it seems at childrens charity level …. the police?

    “The head of Victim Support, the Government-backed charity for people affected by crime, has been accused of taking an armed gang to settle a long-running land dispute in his native Pakistan. Javed Khan is reported to have arrived in the village of Haveli Bagal last week with about eight men armed with automatic rifles.
    Witnesses claim that one middle-aged woman who tried to stop the gang from bulldozing a contested wall of the village graveyard was threatened by the charity chief and that shots were fired in the air. Mr Khan spent several hours at a local police station as officers tried to resolve the row.
    Yesterday, a contempt of court notice was said to have been served, as the dispute was already before a civil court. The events threaten to embarrass Victim Support, which receives £38 million a year from the Government. They may also tarnish the reputation of Mr Khan, 50, who has been cited as one of the most influential British Muslims and is set to begin a new role as chief executive of the children’s charity Barnardo’s later this year.
    Aren’t you SO glad you’re paying this guy’s £150,000 salary with your taxes and so relieved he’s now the chief guardian of British children’s welfare?”

    Handy-Pandy Marr bowled Miliband some very slow balls pitched right up easy-peasy style this Sunday morn on the BBC/Labour tellysoapbox.

    Remind me again, which one is he just like.. was it Kermit, Wallace or Gromit? – he still seemed odd and uncomfortable just like a rather unanimated animated character – despite his fellow puppet’s best efforts. I think the interviewer was the one with the long wavy arms on sticks.

    Half expecting Marr to sling one of his stretch armstrong/rubber incredible’s arms right around the Dear Leader and down the back of his trews? That’s too progressive – even for the BBC – on a Sunday morning.

    Still, it was always quite sufficiently all-friends-together as Johnny Marr strummed his way through a few old student union chestnuts by the Beeb fireside.

    And then, just like in the old lefty-Oxbridge days, thoughts turned to parlour games and charades. “Ock but that’s a great Gordon McDoom impression you have there, mon” (I kid you hardly at all, Marr did in fact do the Gordon voice!)

    What’s that Mili-puppet? Minimum wage, blah blah blah…£8-an-hour.

    (That’ll sound just fine and dandy in Somalia. What’s that Abdul my cousin, it’s a bad line… try to steal a I-phone next time you fool of fools… £8 an hour….? Stop pulling my Sharia… it takes me many many moons to earn that! Wait ’till I tell her, her and her, and the other one indoors! Book three taxis, buy more suitcases and pack your many bags my many wives…I like the sound of this most generous Miliband-aide)

    Is this your 50p I’ve just felt down the back BBC sofa? No, no, you’re the guest, you take it. But that’s most kind of you but I really couldn’t. Well, tell you what – if the Licence Payers don’t claim it back in six months – we’ll go 50-50.

    I’ll sJust to be fair, I’ll stick another 50p on the minimum wage

    Half-heartedly from Marr-ket-rate You-earn-a-Heap:

    “Being as I’m so vewy vewy ‘umble, Miliband, Sir, but won’t that be vewy vewy expensive and all, most ‘umbly being as you are going to be the next PM and all, and being as you are going to be the country’s biggest employer – praise be the Public Sector”

    Now, just suspend disbelief here for this one, boys and girls….

    “No it’ll save money”

    Then why not make it a round tenner and save more? Or make it £20 an hour clear the National Debt – That would have been my next question. But Andy didn’t think to ask such a trcky one.

I only caught the end of the item but he was following some Brazilian anti-logging police as they smashed and burned an illegal logging outfit – including unnecessarily burning a very expensive JCB. They then went on to an illegal village in a reserved tribal area and Justin informed us they had burnt all the houses and a school. The piece ended with a celebratory shot of the ‘protected’ tribe of indigenous indians washing their clothes and bathing in a muddy water hole. Hurrah! Another great success for the year-zero environmental movement.

This idiot was pushing his religion to the forefront, and coupled with the Green Religion, it occurred to me even more than usual, that religion has a lot to answer for.
