R4 4th Apr Today prog. The subject of the mismatch between ONS immigrant figures and NI number issued. Tried to defuse the problem by suggesting that they are big because they all got accumulated in one because they were slow to register, or something like that it was vague. What the dozy beeb had not thought through is that then if the immigrant came here to work, then they would get their NI number immediately so that they can work.
(As a slight aside, these NI number mismatch is supposed to be published in May. I suspect even these number will not show the full picture. Say these immigrants then bring over wives, children, elderly parents then these don’t need NI numbers, but I am sure they will be issued NHS numbers and registration. Add these in and may be a truer picture of immigration may be found)
The tide flows onward.
See the following by “Robin” of Britain.
“Women and children” the people did sing
“Peace and harmony is what they bring”
The people with compassion agreed to be kind
To help mothers and children leave their sadness behind
But when the people opened their gates far and wide
They soon realised that they needed to hide
Miles of men seen like rivers of doom
Chanting, demanding and bringing their gloom
Yet still “For the children!” is what people cried
Standing on victims of rape and those who had died
The river kept flowing the children not seen
The lies kept on growing, nations bursting at the seam
The men kept on marching and the cries louder still
Little were the children and many were the men seeking thrill
The songs of the children grew quiet and faint
As the river marched onwards and proved the lies too late
Yet still were the whispers that children needed care
But the people knew that mostly, the children were not there.
{Robin}
BBC seem really pleased about the WI victory over England last night. Not 1, not 2, but 3 stories on the same subject on the homepage. But then of course their favorite team is anyone playing against England so probably keen to celebrate and really rub it in for any England fans!
EH, the BBC w/s Homepage is a complete disaster. Only three repetitions on there today? That’s pretty much standard for anything at any time. Last week may have seen an all time record: I think the introduction of the Living Wage merited over six slots. I think it was seven or eight. I intended to get a screen grab but was distracted by other tasks.
Did anyone else do a count?
James Purnell has been a bit of a disaster as Director of Digital as far as I can see. He should have been eased aside long ago.
In fairness they have reproduced the picture of Ben Stokes crying 5 times on the sports feed just in case any England fans didn’t get the message about how pleased the BBC are on the outcome of the match and how much they enjoy seeing England lose…and it’s a bumper fun day in the BBC sports office as the WI wimmin won too!
I was shocked and saddened by the BBCs offensive failure to comment about the lack of diversity in the West Indies cricket team.
Hideously mono racial, unlike the England team.
I’ve noticed this as a pattern for many years. A low point for me was reached when England scored a goal in the Football World Cup and the World Service commentator could not even dredge up any excitement in his voice as he mentioned it – as if the ball had just gone out of play for a throw in.
Naturally this anti-England attitude from the BBC permeates all its reporting. The BBC is filled to the brim with traitorous scum who would have been hanged from the nearest lamppost in rougher but more honest times.
Glad ITV, have all of the England team matches, for WC & Euro qualifiers, & the friendlies. Also they have all the 6 nations, home England matches too. That’s a good result, for the England teams,I am sure.
Not bias as such, but …
It struck me at the weekend, especially when listening to Mark Mardell on The World this Weekend (BBC, R4 Sun 1pm) that Sajid Javid is doing quite a good job at single-handedly destroying the Conservative Party in Government.
He is said to be the architect (and was the promoter to appear on the BBC) for the 50% cut in the top Income Tax band increment. Labour have been able to beat Osborne & the Conservatives over the head with that particular stick ever since. Now he is managing to show up ‘the Party of Free Enterprise’ as being not particularly free or even slightly enterprising over the Port Talbot steelworks.
The BBC on R4 appear to have been fairly restrained in their criticism of Javid at times. They must be in a bit of a quandary. “Do we nail Javid and bring the damage to an end or do we leave him in place and hope that it helps Labour and Corbyn & McDonnell?” “Er, do we like Corbyn now?” “We used to be attacking him.” “Oh, perhaps we should attack Javid?” “Ah, but what if Cameron takes fright and sacks Javid? They might get someone in who really shines over the Port Talbot issue.” “Ummhh ..”
Javid got a good reception at Port Talbot… he had the balls to turn up and speak to the workers. Try and find another politician in any party who’ll go into the fray. Plus there are encouraging signs a deal is on the way.
You may be eating your words.
Or is it because he isn’t white? Surely not.
Er … I thought ‘policy’ rather than ‘person’ might have been apparent from my original post, LDV.
Actually, I can imagine several Conservative MPs & (ex) Ministers diving in with enthusiasm to save the plant. Not my favourite for any Party job, but I think Boris would. Gove? Certainly. David Davies? Maybe. Yes, they are all Caucasian but I don’t particularly care or think of that. Signs of ability & strong hints of a delivery of a good outcome count for much more in my eyes.
Someone on top of their Ministerial brief, irrespective of skin colour, might have been forewarned by the east-coast closures in England last year and would have had their eye on what would either help Tata or make the plant attractive to another investor. Visiting now? Javid was intending to be in Australia.
I’m happy to wish him well but his mind appears set against a nationalisation, against delivering the quick fixes the plant needs which may require standing up against EU & other rules.
That went well for him, didn’t it?
Comes to something when a Flokker leaps to the defence of Tory Minister and still gets pwnd.
Nothing to do with him being a Tory, more so the other box he ticks, a failed attempt at implying racism in U2S’s post.
An impartial observer would conclude that LDV is the one obsessed with skin colour.
“he had the balls to turn up and speak to the workers”
You mean after he was compelled to turn up by highly negative press reports about him spending too much time out of the country?
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/03/sajid-javid-spurned-welsh-steel-crisis-talks-us-conference
Compare and contrast two reports on the England defeat in cricket.
The Times:
He (Samuels) proved unable to let the moment of victory pass without rubbing salt into the wounds of Stokes, addressing his post-match press conference with his feet on the table in the most arrogant manner.
Samuels said: “He does not learn. They keep ¬telling him when he plays against me not to speak to me, because I am going to perform. I did not even face a ball before he had so much to say, and I knew I had to be right there at the end. That is what I thrive on.
“Stokes is a nervous laddie, so what I told Brathwaite was to just hold his pose because he was going to bowl a couple of full tosses, as always, and it would work in our favour.”
The BBC website:
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: ” England looked absolutely crushed. It’s really good to see a smile on the face of West Indies cricket. It’s a unique brand of the game and it needs to be nurtured and encouraged.”
Is that Agnew of Leicester and England?! If you want a good laugh and to cheer up after last night’s snatching of defeat from the very jaws of victory – take a look at Agnew’s England record!!! He got his 3 England test caps in an era when you could get one with every box of cornflakes.
But all that is irrelevant. Aggers is a very good commentator with a pleasant voice and manner, and a wide knowledge of the game, all of which fit him admirably for his present job.
Absolutely right, MartinW. He is an excellent commentator. When he and Boycott are together, it’s such fun; Agnew winds him up something terrible.
I disagree. The BBC sports coverage is dreadful like so much of their output. Their cricket coverage is especially awful. It lacks insightful analysis and has given way to a kind of cheap tabloid style. Just because you used to hold a bat or bowl for England doesn’t make you a great commentator. Why does everyone think they are comedian? Brian Johnson was genuinely funny. David Lloyd is very funny. It was and is part of their natural way which added much to the atmosphere of their reporting – for others it’s not, so concentrate on giving me the analysis from a player perspective that would add value. Little chance. There is great cricket journalism out there – but sadly none of it is on the BBC these days. As for Agnew I suppose he can always say he nearly got a century for England. Sadly it was with the ball not the bat.
Aggers is a very good commentator with a pleasant voice and manner, and a wide knowledge of the game, all of which fit him admirably for his present job.
Add ‘with the BBC’ and I totally agree.
When Moeen was doing well last year Agnew went out of his way in one brief Today match preview to explain how he uses his religion to guide him when playing and interacting with other members of the team, how he likes it to be reflected in everything he does, makes him a calm and good man etc. etc.
It was one of the most puke-inducing, contrived pieces of batting for Islam I’ve ever heard from the BBC – and that really is saying something, as Bananarama might sing.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses the state of the Eurozone and the politics of austerity with the economist and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, the Director of the Institute of Global Affairs Erik Berglof and the Mayor of London’s Chief Economic Advisor, Gerard Lyons. Yanis Varoufakis tracks the problems of the Eurozone to its woeful design and its continued reliance on debt and austerity, rather than reform. The classicist Paul Cartledge explores the history of democracy back to its birthplace in Athens and traces the long slow degradation of the original Greek concept. Since the crisis in 2008 Greece has been in economic and political turmoil but there has also been a cultural renaissance. The academic Karen Van Dyck has brought together the best of contemporary Greek poetry by multi-ethnic poets in a new anthology.
Readers really should listen to this (if they can bear it) as an object lesson in bias. It has every single meme the BBC is running with at the moment. – Pro EU, anti Euro zone, pro mass migration, pro refugee, pro Islamist, anti democracy, it even goes so far as to criticise what they call the lumpen proletariat who want a say in their future but the educated elites such as the BBC staff do not believe that their lives should be influenced by people they see as less educated than themselves.
Textbook bias, how do they get away with it ?
Because they are accountable to nobody.
Jezza Whine today discussing how white “so-called indigenous” British children are falling behind those from ethnic minorities in schools; I can’t ever recall a beeboid ever describing the autochthonous inhabitants of other countries in such a fashion: “so-called indigenous Africans” or the “so called indigenous” Indians or Pakistanis, for example.
Oh hang on! I can recall group they describe in such a way – the “so-called Islamic State”; what a set of c**ts.
That is because the BBC cultural marxists do not recognise that English people really exist so they are ‘so called’.
It is disgraceful and patronising and an example of just how pervasive is the innate treachery of our liberal elite.
In addition their attitude to our children falling behind is one of complacent glee. In the culture war our children are disposable to these monsters.
This was not a reference to ‘so called indigenous English” but ‘…British’.
Do not imagine for one minute the BBC consider there are indigenous Scots or Welsh either! ALL the British according to them are ‘mongrel’!
The only reason they poke the Scots and Welsh less is fear they could lose their role if those regions became independent.
Unbelievable! Our children referred to as “so-called indigenous” British children. My English blood is boiling.
They will say Aboriginal next year!
“They will say Aboriginal next year!”
Frankly that would be better, at least it would acknowledge our unique position in our ancestral homeland.

“Saw this last night, Black good white bad, really bad and they were pretty blatant about it. Why can’t they just do a story without ticking every diversity box there is. It kills it every time. I like Adrian Lester but Okenedo looked like she was taking part in a black lives matter pr advert. Such a let down after the night manager”
Wahey ! its already scandal hit. Reports in the paper today say that Ms Okenedo and her BOYFRIEND had their upgraded airfares paid for by the BBC for a holiday in South Africa whale watching – oh yes Ms Okenedo DID pay for the hotel. The BBC have said its not unusual for perks to be given to their leading stars. For the love of God, WHY ??? these ‘actors’ get paid for doing their bloody job like the rest of us so what right do the BBC have in keeping them sweet with my money ???
It was just badly written and mere agitprop. The story is going to be so predictable and I will not be watching.
Our security services planted the hero in deep cover in some leftist movement or other. Falls for the girl but does not tell her when things get serious. Never tells her and now there is a hitch. Something to do with a coverup of police brutality?. She finds out and heroically sorts everything out and the bad guys get done. Her husband is truly repentent and the nice people get what they want. There we are now you can watch something else.
I detest BBC programmes that purport to be drama but are merely propaganda vehicles!
I wonder if Botney was there to… er… do whatever he does when luvvies are in nice sunny places on the BBC’s audience tab?
Katie H
Could have been no worse than last nights police drama on ITV Marcella, so far showing brutal murders of ethnic British men by brutal ethnic British men, while all the good cops are foreign ethnicity or female or dyke (one exception being a lowly fellow who does what he’s told).
The heroine Marcella has recently been dumped by her successful black husband, and we are shown a flashback to her begging him not to go and indulging in a bit of stalking to find out if he has someone else, he does.
The writer is the same who wrote the cult series The Bridge, set in Malmo.
Choosing to reject his Swedish surname and heritage to embrace his mothers Jewish heritage says all we need to know about this traitors sympathies!
The Bridge was well done and the PeeCee messages subtle, but it seems no holds barred in thumping out the propaganda for an English speaking audience across the world, Britain land of multikulti opportunity and weak men who cannot run their own police service!
6.8ft is 6 feet 9.6 inches.
Whoever wrote that piece has either seen his medical record (I can’t imagine any other reason for measuring his height with such accuracy) or is a numbnut who doesn’t know his/her metric from his/her imperial.
Can’t see this story on the BBC. Looks like the people of Britain are still not getting the answer right. Much work for the EU remain campaign PR and Communications wing to do yet…
New Poll: ‘Out’ Leads By 4 Percentage Points Ahead Of EU Vote
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/04/03/new-poll-leads-4-percentage-points-ahead-eu-vote/
EH – hopefully that is correct and the gap will just keep on widening.
Al,
The BBC has obviously noted the gap and is busy working to close it by securing the votes of Airbus employees:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35958693
This quote from Paul Kahn, the president of Airbus Group UK, is very interesting,’Asked whether the company would move from the UK if there was a vote to leave the EU, he said: “We are not going anywhere” but warned investment could be diverted to China and the United States.’
The obvious follow up question, well it would be obvious for an objective journalist, should have been,
“Mr Kahn, do you mean that investment destined for the UK would be diverted to China or the US in preference to somewhere else in Europe?”
Is this the kind of loose end that gets overlooked in the rush to push Operation Fear stories?
The wings are made in Wales. Nobody, but nobody is going anywhere without wings. That includes the aeroplanes.
A specialist job making wings.
‘Operation fear’ and unadulterated propaganda.
http://www.airbus.com/company/worldwide-presence/airbus-in-uk/welcome-to-the-home-of-wings/
BBC journalism and thinking things through are two mutually exclusive practices.
Wow – Edited Highlights – great news! Thanks for the update! Isn’t it great when things go against BBC plans!
Been away. How refreshing not to listen to Al Beeb for three weeks.
But back now and the radio alarm clicked on early. Interestingly at around 6.20am some pretty good stuff on all that ‘boring’ economics such as the steel workers pensions deficit (not running too bad actually).
But after the 7am news it was back into full multi-culti, pro-open door immigration mode. To the bBBC ‘victimisation’ is the process of searching out ‘victims’ of anything and everything and portraying them as beaten up by the nasty Tories. This morning we had a victim of the floods, ‘randomly chosen’ no doubt, who even the presenter could see was a stooge when she ended the ‘interview’ with a pre-written diatribe supporting some pressure group or other. Pass the sick bag.
BBC equivalent to ‘randomly chosen’ = Common Purpose speed-dial.
Watched episode 1 of a new thriller, ‘Undercover’. It’s a ‘breakthrough’ , because all the main characters are black. Two black leads, black leads’ family, black guy on death row, black activists from the 80s and 90s, obviously lots of black victims.
Watching it I felt like a character in Orwell’s 1984 being indoctrinated by Big Brother.
Won’t be watching episode 2 of this licence fee funded bBBC multi-culti propaganda LoveFest.
Even if it is watched only by a demographic whose voting intentions are also tied solely to melanin content over calibre and content, the executives in charge will still get a massive bonus on top off their market rates.
Much as the BBC will preen and pose with white liberal agnst at this upping of the stakes in their game of Black Shows Matter ….
I do really wonder what the supposed interested demographic will make of it all – probably stick in a DVD or go to Netflix…. ITV4 had Police Academy 4 up against it and Channel 5 went with Penn & Teller Fool Us in Vegas – is there a message there somewhere?
It’s a quota thing so Undercover ticks all the required boxes for the foreseeable. Sure, the viewing figures will slide inexorably over the next few weeks but who cares, it’s not their money, is it? Plus they are fulfilling their public service remit, and who would want to be so churlish as to challenge that?
Remember last year when BBC luvvies flocked to Glastonbury. This year they are in for a treat because Billy Bragg has invited Jezza Corbyn to rock on stage about nuclear disarmament. I do hope that the far right will resist the urge to No Platform him

Back in the good old days (Reading rock 82 + 83) Shite bands notably Cheetah & Steel Pulse amongst others would be given a canning”. Slightly misleading as not all stage bound projectiles were cans many would be plastic containers often containing urine. With the banning of refreshments being brought onto the sites this fine old festival tradition has been dying out. I remember vividly hurling cans at Meat Loaf in the pouring rain in 1985 at Knobworth . https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=knebworth+festival+meat+loaf&view=detailv2&&id=79D4BB18E4C799EE48E8C9BC826F605B46E689D6&selectedIndex=8&ccid=k8lTfvkT&simid=608019124961805486&thid=OIP.M93c9537ef913fb069e720519343320c2o0&ajaxhist=0
Time to resurrect a fine tradition.
Happy days there dave.
I recall there were three options.
a)Empty can
b)Liquid option-urine
c)Solid can-mud.
I remember Devo getting the can treatment at Knebworth 78…now I`d gone to see them, and so I saved my cans for Genesis during the Moose`s solo in “Follow You, Follow Me”.
But it was dark then, and some hapless stoner would have got a dirty neck at worst a few steps nearer the bloody awful Genesis.
I really should have marketed something to lob the cans much further for those times-bloody Aswad, Osibisa, Steel Pulse indeed were a segment worthy of a gently lobbed Red Stripe tin with Calypso Tropical flat fizz inside(cultural sensitivities ticked) at all those ANL/RAR gigs I went to in 1977-81 maybe?
Think the best “canning Town” experience I saw was Patrik Fitzgerald in 1980…with an honourable mention to the Vibrators in 79 up on Tyneside…a brown ale tin seems to have a mind of its won, unlike most of the lefty geordies I was part of up there!
Got to be a discussion board here-did you spit into your can before you threw it for good luck and a bonne voyage?
Be worth a reunion to recreate the canning of Jimmy Purseys Sham 69 maybe. if you`re up for it?
PS MrsH says she wants a retrial of Lynard Skynard 1976 at Knebworth-what git would throw a can at THEM?…and such a prat needs serious counselling…any witnesses?
Lol I also witnessed the canning of Patrik Fitzgerald although I didn’t contribute at I was and am a fan of his early work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xVnves2Cdo
I tended to just fling whatever was available to hand . Never been a fan of Pursey I’ve seen Sham a few times but only recently and always without Pursey
Those poor kids get brainwashed at school and uni and now Glastonbury.
‘Course, next time Jezza is in the studio the BBC are bound to ask him an awkward question like ‘Suppose Islamic terrorists have a nuclear device planted in London and they say they’ll detonate it unless we meet their demands. Our intelligence people know they got it from a newly-installed Islamic government in Pakistan. You are PM and have abolished our nuclear capability. What’s your next move?’
Even in the extremely unlikely event of the BBC getting near asking such a question, his first answer of ‘Invite them round for a nice cup of tea and a biscuit’ would be accepted and the conversation would move swiftly on to Jezza restoring social justice for large Bangladeshi families who are now having to manage on a maximum of 25 grand a year in benefits after those nastytoreecutz.
Talking of Corbyn and Bragg at Glasto this summer….. you may also want to make a note to avoid this new tourist attraction
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-35957829
‘National Poo Museum opens doors on Isle of Wight’
Remember Tony Benn trying the same “hangin` out with Uncle Joe” crap with Roy Bailey-who, to be fair was far more of a musician than Bumper Car Billy…
And Benn had something to say, usually crap, but that he could say it at all was worth the patronage.
So to see Bragg as a Bailey is like saying that Tiny Tim is Little Richard.
Still-they can “dance on Tony Benns bones” this time-poor old Tom Paines are a bit dusty now.
They will , of course, have to get access to the Benn Estate and private means to exhume even a pinkie from the old fraud…but at least they`ll be socialist relics that we won`t have to consider as a Prime Minister.
Reckon that the army died a little when it took Tankie Bragg in to serve it..served nothing but himself and his wet wedge types now since 1987.
Only hope a few people demand a small refund from that whacking ticket price-if we want indoctrination we go directly to the BBC, not its Savile/Peel Yurt of Yoof!
It has been rumoured that the BBC have taken up most of the Museum floor space, in that nearly all of their programmes are shit.
In case you were wondering:
‘A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35956836
Nothing illegal there then? We should strike illegal from the dictionary I guess.
It will be interesting to see if some of the more emote-y of BBC reporters and presenters stick to even these rather appeasing rules.
I’m surprised the term ‘Undocumented migrant’ hasn’t obtained wider usage at the BBC.
Still, there’s time….
I well remember nitwits in Granadaland in the 70s sending their wreaths and sympathy cards to Emily Bishop as the Coronation Street plotline killed off her hubby Ernest.
And how we lefty uni students laughed-thick proles, not knowing fact from fiction.
Even remember people applying for Len Faircloughs job when he went AWOL for “personal reasons ” from his job on The Street.
Fast forward thirty years approx-and Blair answers questions about the jailing of Deirdre Barlow-Rashid in the oh-so-funky and ironic days of New Labour…again, bit of a sneer from the liberal left, but the race and abuse stuff was worth a few columns in the Guardian…so we`re now conditioned to fictional crap from the media becoming newsworthy-even to the toffs that run the media.
I turn on TWATO just as it`s ending-and some piece of crap from the Archers has enticed some old Queenie Counsellor to give us his musings on the get outs, excuses, reasons and mitigations that the Archers might explore to get the woman off who stabbed her husband a few times last night on the show.
Incitement to murder , some might call it…a crib sheet for women who might want to do a Dehenny.
But no cavils or fear of consequences for the BBC…thank God nobody but bitter old witches on public sector pensions would listen to the f***in Archies anway.
But-how long before the local Mosque is given the crib sheets, and an interesting recipe book from the Archers WI outlet for their agitperps….ricin in a gelatine mousse…flambee`d to a crisp, with follow-up chemistry assessments…
Bloody sick of the BBC slivers…endless incitements and prostrations depending whether its jackie boots feminism or a curly slipper up the jacksie islamism that they seek to promote that day.
Suicide bomber attends a BBC script meeting under the guise of the muffin muslim man…be good to see that one tested sometime soon.
>”…thank God nobody but bitter old witches on public sector pensions would listen to the f***in Archies anyway.”
—————————-
My mum’s a retired English teacher who adores the Archers! LOL
I withdraw the worst, most abusive and gratuitous of my ventings, here Mr 4D.
Bloody BBC provoke me to it though-and I`m a teacher as well!
Got to say though that I`ve always disliked the Archers.
Heh! No need to withdraw it – I think you’re probably right about many of the listeners. Her love of the show baffles me. Here’s a woman who regards Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, and Paradise Lost as light regular reading; who can recite the most obscure poems. But religiously listens to the bloody Archers. Must be some sort of cognitive dissonance of taste.
I used to too, until they brought in stupid story lines not too long ago.
I have not bothered for about a year now, having followed it for decades.
No surprise here, the BBC effectively tells us that white kids are trash compared to the ethnic superiors.
Hopefully on reaching adulthood these superiors can piss off to the third world shitholes and employ their talents to raise them up to the standards we once had before our schools were overwhelmed by ethnics
Unless, of course, the assessment standards are screwed in the way that university standards are adjusted for ethnic students by ethnic academics who owe their university places to token appointed ethnic academics. Geddit.
Note how the BBC refers to white children. Imagine the response if someone spoke of black children lagging behind white children.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-35958498
This might answer the BBC’s question about inferior white indigenous British children.
I remember reading an article, probably in the Mensa magazine, that said that although Afro-Caribbean’s are about on average, 15 to 20 percent less intelligent than indigenous Brits. Afro-Caribbean’s developed into adulthood at a faster rate, which means that they are more intelligent than white people under the age of about ten years. In fact this peaks at the age of four. Also in addition to this, Monkeys are more intelligent than one year old Humans. This also explained why a group of Black school kids in the US, after winning a chess championship one year. Then, after that, they progressively deteriorated over progressive years in competing with white kids.
OK BBC we get the picture. Interesting choice of ‘stock photo’ from thinkstockphotos.co.uk
Most of the photos are mixed ethnicity of equal billing. No ethnicity seeming more important than the others. Can’t think why BBC chose this one. Alpha male in the making. And some segregation to boot. This is these kids future?

BBC Acting as an advertising agency for Activists/NGOs again
Yesterday 5 Live Investigates : basically aired a piece which probably came off an NGO press release about police systematically groping antifracking protesters in Manchester 2 years ago
– For something to be newsworthy it has to have something NEW
The only thing new is that York University has a new report PDF ..yet the only detail it has is rather WEAK
: “07.Several women who were involved at Barton Moss reported sexualised violence by GMP officers. ”
..What all that study and no firm numbers ? and ‘reported’ is the only evidence bit.
and then actually the sexualised bit is only one bit of 15 conclusions in the report.
AND …..the Police were already cleared in a October 2014 big investigation
£4Bn is a lot of money to pay for agenda obsessed ineptitude.
Considering how obsessed al beebus is with “diversity” in its output, there wasn’t much evidence of it on the early evening news last night.
The main news reader, sports presenter and weather presenter – were all black males. WTF!
If it can be construed as inappropriate in “multicultural” Britain to have an all male and British line up of presenters; how is it not the same if all the main presenters are male and black?
Think it was last night, maybe Saturday BBC1, similarly, the news, the sport, then the weather, but worse a trailer for the aforementioned new Sunday drama and then another trailer for a BBC3 drama ‘Murdered by My Father’ “Powerful contemporary drama. A young woman falls in love with the wrong man, with tragic consequences for everyone” I don’t need to spell out what that is about….
I looked at Mrs G and in tandem we said “Where TF are we?” We had been well and truly diversified.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03nnns9/murdered-by-my-father
Put another way, if someone from another planet arrived to watch our national broadcaster he would rightly believe he was in Africa and not in a country that was over 80% white.
This morning ‘stormin’ Norman’ was driving a taxi cab, with Sadiq Khan as passenger (don’t ask); lots of platitudes from Khan about what he’d do for London etc etc. Then came the comment that ALL children of immigrants make when they want to push diversity….”my parents were immigrants and were welcomed here, and this is what makes this country of ours so great”.
I get very frustrated with these statements, as …. 1) we, the indigenous peoples had migrants from India to Jamaica dumped on us without us having a say in the matter. 2) Er, the migrants of the last 50 years have no HISTORY of this country so hardly a case of ‘this country of ours’ – these are people who would struggle with any knowledge of our part in WW2 simply because they don’t have fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers who could hand the stories down. These are peoples who know the price of everything to sell in their corner shops but have never worked down a coal mine for an 8 hour shift. These are people who complain about lack of diversity in the Arts, Film and TV, but how many can be seen in the audience of your local theatre ? My local theatre is 30 mile outside of London and sighting an ethnic in the audience is as rare as hen’s teeth. Not their culture is it.
“My local theatre is 30 mile outside of London and sighting an ethnic in the audience is as rare as hen’s teeth.”
No different to inside London then, except that you will find quite a few SE Asians who, for some reason, don’t seem to have a problem with all that white stuff.
Took the grandsons to a well known military museum last Friday. Just the same !00% old British crowd .
It is like this everywhere at shire events and the BBC’s implied insistence that it is not is lying garbage.
Museums are now being pressured to increase their appeal to ethnic minorities. If the Royal Armouries ever carry out an ethnicity census I’ll be Afro-Caribbean for the day.
“Museums are now being pressured to increase their appeal to ethnic minorities.”
A bit risky for the Royal Armouries. They’d need to keep the Red Cross on standby.
I noticed the crowds lining the streets of Leicester for a procession when the remains of Richard III were being re-interred were, almost exclusively, ‘hideously white’.
One of the highlights of the year for me is Proms in the Park at Castle Howard in August which usually attracts a crowd of about 8000. Let’s just say that I have yet to see anyone of ethnic origin singing along to Land of Hope and Glory.
There will of course be plenty of Pakistani supporters supporting the Pakistan cricket team should they end up playing a Test Match against England at Headingley.
I bet if the BBC broadcast the proms from Castle Howard it would be unrecognisable.
BRISSLES
Saw it – off button .
Pure, unadulterated and blatant propaganda . What is their reason for their promotion of this male bovine excrement ?
This would never happened twenty years ago.
I am also amazed that the PM and the Tory government have not done anything about this gigantic Quango that is promulgating the stuff ?
SKY is no better.
I’m not offering that as an excuse. SKY can do what it likes, I don’t have to pay for it.
(Don’t you dare, David)
#BBCoperationStopTrump smneaked
5 minutes Sneaked and crowbarred onto the end of the iPM podcast (yes PODCAST version only)
The format of the show is that is supposed to be listeners stories
As part of that they recently, started to push general podcasting, So that was there in
‘Oh there is this Trumpcast by Slate’ ..Of course they never mentioned Slate is a notorious LEFTWING website
..Knowing they had their fingers in the cookie jar, they tried to imply they had looked for balance…”WE tried to find a DEDICATED pro-Trump podcast but there aren’t any !!!”
I would have thought there is masses of Trump support , but they are more general than the obsess StopTrump guys and I also expect it to be more video based
It’s been explained how he got Fox news in his pocket, by giving them access so he gets a lot of pro coverage from them.
but there are Pro Trump podcasters like Stefan Molyneux
or CausesAndFX
These ladies are subtly pro-Trump. Their youtube videos are a joy to watch.
http://www.diamondandsilkinc.com/
I read in The Express that the BBC are being praised for recent Russian VIDEO BBC ‘discovery’ in a new BBC documentary on the Spy’ named Kim Philby Mi5 thought it was ‘impossible’ and tried to protect his name in public. ‘He was only exposed as a double agent – alongside the other Cambridge Five members Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt – in 1963, by which time he is believed to have spent years passing on top secret documents to the KGB‘
But the BBC are less keen to be show how they sponsored the spies such as Guy Burgess who was one of the infamous ‘Cambridge Five’ Spy ring who just happened to be working for (on the famous BBC ‘expenses’ payroll for the entire war effort). ‘Burgess, one of the Cambridge Five of traitors who passed information to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, worked as a BBC producer between 1936 and 1944 before joining the Foreign Office.
No Surprise there.
History repeats itself at the BBC those same traitors that would have us surrender to the EU (another national socialist agenda) with much the same aims and objectives.
Definitely not as reported by the BBC News today..on the EU Turkey deal..
Erdogan has boasted that he is proud of boldly blackmailing EU leaders into paying him protection money.
Erdogan’s threats were almost criminally sinister: “… the EU will be confronted with more than a dead boy on the shores of Turkey. There will be 10,000 or 15,000. How will you deal with that?”
According to the agreement, 80 million Turkish citizens will have visa-free access to the European Union.
The nightmare scenario for a desperate EU is that no matter how much it bows to extortionist demands from Turkey, the migrant crisis will continue to grow. Even if Turkey closes down all migrant routes from Turkey into Europe, refugees could take new routes through North Africa or the Caucasus.
Meanwhile, 800,000 migrants are currently on Libyan territory waiting to cross the Mediterranean, according to French Defense Minister Jean-Yves le Drian.
At….http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7719/eu-turkey-migration
The former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis (please excuse spelling) is in Blighty for a couple of weeks and the old Marxist has been all over the Beeb…well, there’s a surprise!
Despite his ghastly experience at the hands of the EU, which he likened to “political water boarding,” and even though “the EU is undemocratic and corrupt,” and “it’s far too big and the Euro was a disaster waiting to happen,” he has advised us to “remain in.” Incredible!
This is the bloke who was the finance minister of a country with 50% youth unemployment, is swamped with illegal Muslim immigrants and will be in debt until the next ice age, but despite all the problems back home he’s popped over to offer us some much needed advice.
I do hope you’re all listening…
The ultimate lefty.
Silk scarf, motorbike chic…and what he says in theory EXACTLY at 180 degrees to what he actually did when in power for those few short hours.
A flying Pan colossus…like Obama, Umunna, Legarde and Strauss-Kahn…from green room to green room on the worlds vacuum sealed hydraulic body fluid…but with absolutely no elected experience, no principles and no purpose but to reflect Benettons AIDS poster for us all, and for ever.
Global minstrels of the apocalyse too proud to wear the jesters hat, the fools flip-flops.
This is an interesting story of how the BBC censors information, again. I looked at information that mentions the “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists” as regards the BBC,s censorship policy for climate science, scientists and scientific debate. The BBC told Mensa members that it had no scientific investigative journalists for investigating Climate science issues.
The reason for this seems to be that the Management makes sure that the BBC depends on a left-wing Mainstream Media gatekeeper called the “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists” which just happens to be funded by George Soros.
Just like the censorship of Climate science, scientists and scientific debate the “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists” is censoring most of the information leaked to it in the Mossack Fonseca database. In fact the Guardian has actually said that “much of the leaked material will remain private“. In Britain, only the Guardian and the BBC have access to the database.
The “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists” seems to have been set up by the establishment as a way of controlling the Mainstream media through censorship. Instead of having independent investigative journalists supplying the information directly to publication, this media gatekeeper organisation uses BBC and the Guardian journalists as useful idiots.
More information about this can be seen in this article:
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/04/corporate-media-gatekeepers-protect-western-1-from-panama-leak/
Richard, I don’t directly see the link to Climate Change you see – but then we do know the two main Advertisers (at least in the UK as Guardian and BBC) as sponsoring 100% Climate Change initiatives – which coincidentally become the next EU directive (definitions as being solely caused CO2); that we are (UK) forced to implement in combating mystical ‘Climate Change worldwide (absurd claim). But the direct results is the very high cost of Electricity here in the UK and the current closure of TATA industry (formerly British Steel). Its a fact that our electricity is now officially 50% more expensive than the rest of Europe 5 ( despite Germany relying on Coal and Diesel generators). There is no Science debate in the EU (which prohibits political objection on any of its key objectives). In the scheme of things, the BBC and The Guardian are co-conspirators in a left wing alliance but George Soros, Kellog’s and Carnegie etc. -as left wingers? (left wingers generally support Climate Change as it means the closure of heavy industry and changing the political ‘environment’. I cannot see how they could do that. Am I missing something?
George Soros is described as the Marxist Billionaire. Maurice Strong was described as the Communist Billionaire. Strong, now dead, lived in communist China, and funded the loony International Politics of Climate Change fraud with the setting up of the IPCC. Soros and that agenda, is also almost dead. He funds the Media control Industry, set up for this same loony agenda. Its why on more than one occasion, Astronomers and Journalist such as Nigel Calder, James Delingpole and Donna Laframboise, have not just had material blocked by a Soros funded media organisation, but also personally attacked by its useful idiots. Also, Mossack Fonseca has 441 American clients, but none have been named by the BBC/Guardian. So most of them must be Democrats and Environmental lobbyists.

This raised a wry chuckle…
‘There appears to be a log-jam in the normally free-flowing river of Freedom of Information responses cascading in crystalline fashion from our transparent BBC….
“Shortly” must now be redefined as “a period over just over a year”.
Meanwhile CECUTT has reconfigured to use geological timeframes, unless it is them setting deadlines of those writing to them, which are etched in stone at 28 days.
“Out of Europe and into the unknown” thus spake the BBCs six o clock news reporter this evening as he reported the deportation of economic migrants from Greece to Turkey and then to Pakistan. No, you clot, they’re being deported…..home.
Open borders demonstrators carefully featured and interviewed. Even the local anti migrant camp demonstrators “feel sorry” for the migrants and want them taken “somewhere safe, far away.”
And the “desperate” refugees are being returned to “war torn” countries, er……wrong again.
Disingenuous, no….lying BBC. Terrible bias. The only Pakistanis at risk of religious hatred in Pakistan are the Christians. No mention of them of course.
There were social media reports of some threatening to commit suicide rather than return. No mention if this was planned in any nearby airport arrivals.
A few commenters did ask what it was they were fleeing from then.
On Sunday there was some BBC show on emigration to New Zealand. A fine family( Mother, father and four children) from Caithness that will be an asset to any land make the move. Needless to say they were all native British. In exchange according to the BBC we are inundated with brain surgeons and scientists from the third world. That is OK then . So stop worrying.
This is the point .The emigrants are nearly all our own people . That is native English,Welsh and Scots. The way things are going this will become a flood and we all know why. If certain countries open their doors to the old British then who on earth will stay as this old land is turned into a third world balkanised slum.
This is exceedingly good from Mark Steyn:
Right on the money.
Our friends at the BBC are clearly a dangerous force in debate closing.
For those who don’t have time to watch it all, from 37 minutes to the end is Steyn at his best.
I enjoyed it all. Agreed, Steyn at his best. Wouldn’t it be good to have him as a guest on bBBC Question Time along with Pat Condell in Bradford or Leicester or Tower Hamlets.
It will never happen .The BBC do not do free speech any more.
They never did. Orwell based Room 101 on his time at the BBC.
Thanks for posting, worth watching every minute.
Steyn is a hero of our time.
I was at this and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. It also made me realise fully how much company my subversive thinking is in!
Mark was also a very personable guy too.
His point about unless there is freedom of speech we won’t know who the like-minded people are because everyone will be scared of speaking up i.e. saying or writing anything non-PC, makes you realise what a dangerously low ebb we have reached in our so-called democracy.
Airbus warn against exit from the EU.
We are not telling employees how to vote, but as the BBC point out we are in favour of staying and we employ thousands of people….Know what I mean…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35958693
Yet more scaremongering. If we vote to leave Airbus would just have to come to terms with the new reality. The alternative is to have airliners lined up at Toulouse with no wings.
And why it (Airbus) will stay in the UK…
‘The A380 multinational global supply chain may be complex, but is by no means unique. A change in the political arrangements of a country-link in such supply chains – for example, an EU member-state deciding to move to “associate” status, or to renounce EU membership entirely – is highly unlikely to disturb supply chains, especially those that have been operating for decades. In the case of the A380, the country that builds the wings, supplies the customers’ preferred aero-engines and much of the plane’s engineering expertise, is the UK.

Did I just hear Jon Snow tell us that there were protests in Reykavik tonight against the Islamic Prime Minister?
Islamic?…did he mean Icelandic?…or did I hear him wrong?
I will have to hear the rerun again in an hours time-as if it wasn`t bad enough enjoying Mark Steyn whilst Channel 4 News slurry bubbles silently in the rear view mirror?
Wishful thinking on Snow’s part….
Channel 4’s Jon Snow really getting his lilac knickers in a twist over off-shore banking.
But the ultimate draw dropper is Lindsey Hilsum who reckons Syrian Goverment forces are “doing more damage than ISIS”
Boy the British so-called liberal left have got some warped priorities
Re Snows knicker-wringing over tax dodges in Panama?
Think I`ll just say to the next dopey lefty who moans about it.
“But I thought you were against the tampon tax”
Just leave it at that-they`ll get all confused and go onto their smart phone to look at tampon mountain in the Panamanian hills…then back to looking confused.
You meanwhile order a second pint at this point, and assume the gnomic Peston position of lofty know-allness-Zen like “less is more” posture.
Waste NO further words or thoughts on lefties-one gnomic pronouncement like the above will be food enough for a lefty for months…an uninterrupted pint should result.
Maybe worthwhile leaving a jam jar by your crisps, should any lady companion wish to declare HER tax avoidance over her many years-failure to put a few quid in, and you`ll have to tell Mark, Jon or Krishnan.
Jeremy will no doubt wax lyrical at PMQs about the dirty deeds of the Cameron family – with good reason, no doubt – but he should first perhaps do a bit of research into the Jersey-based Wedgewood-Benn family trust – he might find that the use of the word ‘trust’ stretches credulity and seriously damages the much vaunted ‘socialist principles’ of St. Tony. Such a shame, but there it is.

Well,well, Lord Janner misled the inquiry. As close as one can get to lying as is possible.
Janner’s sargeant at arms Keith Vaz needs to apologise to Parliament and the country, for his poor judgement and continual defence of Janner.
I rarely read or take much notice of the Guardian but they seem on the money here about VAZ.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/25/keith-vaz-helped-kill-90s-probe-greville-janner-claims-why-is-vaz-silent-now
Keith Vaz was one-time former borough Solicitor for a SW London Council. It was he that alerted the Police to ‘strange goings on’ at certain times on a ‘certain’ common, not far away, that was frequented by homosexuals, some links were found to link to ‘famous’ known BBC production staff and others to high ranking Westminster MP’s. The Boarding House known as ‘Elm Guest House’ was frequented by politicians many of whom are now dead (although it hinges on current Police inquiries into Westminster historic sex crimes which look as though it will collapse through lack of ‘evidence’. The Police ‘credible witness’ known as ‘Nick’ suffers from lack of hard evidence as some abused boys are now dead. The Police who initially raided the (Elms) property were kept well away and all ‘evidence’ removed at the time by a secret Police unit. Nobody was ever charged. The abused boys (all from a local London care home bussed in by the Council) none were deemed as being credible witnesses (all being frightened and ‘under-age’ boys). Nobody at the Council were interviewed or charged. Keith Vaz would have known all about this – as it was he that ‘alerted’ the Police in the first place. It has always been an ‘official’ cover up ever since although (Lord) Janner was never named nor has Vaz ever given evidence against any of them.

Ok, its not the Beeb but ITV – just watching Marcella (wont bore you with details), in the first 15 minutes we discover she is in a mixed race marriage, is working with a lesbian and her boss is clearly of Middle East descent. I’m still laughing. I bet two thirds of Britain (who are watching it) must be saying the same thing, but daren’t comment by writing to the newspapers or mentioning it in public for fear of being called a bigot. Not exactly freedom of speech is it.
> we discover she is in a mixed race marriage
The horror! Doesn’t she know to stay within her own race, lest delicate sensibilities in the collective intelligence on the interwebs be offended?
> is working with a lesbian
There ought to be laws against this sort of thing! Surely nobody has to work alongside such people?
> her boss is clearly of Middle East descent
The bastard! Why can’t he be a jihadist terrorist, like all the brown people in Biased BBC commenters’ heads?
> or mentioning it in public for fear of being called a bigot
THE VERY IDEA! That someone who whinges about mixed race marriages, gays in the workplace and non-white bosses might *possibly* be thought of as a bit of a bigot! Where do people get these ideas from?
Personally Jerrod, being long in the tooth I couldn’t give a monkeys what I’m called – its the others that have the problem. But more people than you can EVER imagine hold similar views, they just don’t air them publicly, so I am not alone. Incidentally, as you are so eloquent in your sarcasm (and not of a mature age) perhaps you would care to enlighten the rest of us as to why the media are so hell bent on throwing mixed race marriages at us, be it drama or commercials – and they seem to be two a penny now, because they are not THAT common in real life ! Unless I’ve missed something and we’ve become a 50/50 society .
Funny how all those silent people agree with you, isn’t it? Amazing also how you can tell what they’re thinking even though they say nothing. Neat party trick.
But yeah, it’s everybody else’s fault that you ignore all the white couples on TV and only mention the ones that aren’t. Nothing to do with your own observational selection bias. Because, as with so many other Biased BBC commenters, the ability to take responsibility for your own prejudice is an adult behaviour which you just can’t bring yourself to adopt.
‘Nights’ again Jerrod ?
Does the shift work make you crotchety ?
A word of advice, as you get older you will get used to them .
ME……
But more people than you can EVER imagine hold similar views, they just don’t air them publicly
JERROD……
Funny how all those silent people agree with you, isn’t it? Amazing also how you can tell what they’re thinking even though they say nothing. Neat party trick.
Read the comments properly before you reply. Being ‘aired publicly’ dum dum is not ‘behind closed doors’, which is where these thoughts are being spoken of – hardly silent ! And yes, I’m exceedingly good at party tricks as it happens, but have yet to master the art of mind reading.
Incidentally, in an earlier post where I wrote about our beautiful swans being looked upon as lunch by migrants, the silence was deafening from your quarter, – our wildlife under attack and no comment from you ! yet you get verbal diarrhoea in attacking those with opposing views to your own. Little wonder I prefer dogs to people
I’d be really embarrassed if someone thought I was a bigot. It’d be like calling a Formula One driver a keen amateur racer.
As it is an ITV production strictly speaking it is off topic. However ITV drama is usually miles better than anything on the BBC and yes I thought the Night Porter was poor stuff. .
But this one is a real stumer .Just incomprehensible and written by numbers. A vehicle for Anna Freil and it showed. For once ITV have blown it.
Just watch the viewing figures fall off.
I know it’s all a matter of opinion but I actually really enjoyed The Night Porter, and thought it was so good I had to keep checking it was actually on the BBC.
Hey Jerrod get this into your thick skull. Outside of your pink fluffy rainbow coloured metrosexual, homosexual, transexual anything goes hipster bubble, the majority of this country, regardless of age doesn’t identify with, nor experience the agenda driven shite chucked out over our airwaves. Nearly all can see through it to the degree that less and less people are watching such drivel.
Just bloody accept it and admit you’re an inverted bigot….
BTW do you think the BBC is biased?
> Hey Jerrod get this into your thick skull.
I look forward to your next plea for politeness, with its accompanying lack of self-awareness.
> Outside of your pink fluffy rainbow coloured metrosexual, homosexual, transexual anything goes hipster bubble
I think you mean “in the fictional world Geoff believes he lives in, where everybody is a white male heterosexual, and if they’re not they should believe that they are inferior, as that’s the only way Geoff will feel less insecure”, don’t you?
> the majority of this country, regardless of age doesn’t identify with, nor experience the agenda driven shite chucked out over our airwaves.
First of all, you don’t speak for the majority of this country. You just think you do. Or rather, you pretend you do, because even you can’t be stupid enough to actually believe that guff.
> Nearly all can see through it to the degree that less and less people are watching such drivel.
Nothing to do with the proliferation of content sources, of course. No, it’s got to be because everybody is secretly as racist as Geoff claims not to be.
The majority of this country are more intelligent, less racist, less up their own arise than you and your cronies, Geoffrey. Biased BBC isn’t a mouthpiece for the silent majority: it’s the witterings of a lunatic fringe that gangs together because it’s the on,y way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude thenmselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.
You can do better..
Undoubtedly. But that would require effort you don’t deserve.
…But do you think the BBC is biased?
” Biased BBC isn’t a mouthpiece for the silent majority: it’s the witterings of a lunatic fringe that gangs together because it’s the on,y way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude thenmselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.”
Spot on Jerrod.
Just the kind of endorsement needed from the majority of the country that are, thenmselves, ‘intelligent’. Apparently.
Lucky that risking free market choice is not to be risked. Compulsion and threat is so much more persuasive with the silent majority. And no ballots, as they can go awry.
‘Spot on Jerrod’
I find clearasil is the preferred treatment for whiny adolescents with acne….as well as a swift kick up the arse
‘The majority of this country are more intelligent, less racist, less up their own arise than you and your cronies’
The same majority that voted for a Conservative Government?
>”The majority of this country are more intelligent…than you and your cronies, Geoffrey.”
You can never underestimate the stupidity of the general public, Jerry.
Or should that be overestimate? Um, anyway.
Allahu akbar jihadi Jerrod! Nice of you to drag yourself away from the cesspit you and the other traitorous, white man hating deviants wallow in.
>Biased BBC isn’t a mouthpiece for the silent majority: it’s the witterings of a lunatic fringe that gangs together because it’s the on,y way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude thenmselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.
That may well be true jihadi Jerrod, but rest assured if you miraculously manage to evade the sweet and utterly deserved ROPer enrichment coming your way then my fellow lunatics will never forget what you have done. You think you can play God with innocent peoples lives and let them suffer so your warped fantasies can become reality? You and your fellow shit eaters are the cause of those horrific rapes in Rotherham and all over Europe. You think you can change just allow innocent people to be slaughtered and think everyone will just except the lies and deception you spew out through your propaganda vehicle the Al Beeb? Your ilk have set us down a path where the very fabric of European society will be torn apart.
You are right in saying that we do not talk on behalf of the majority because the hell you have unleashed on us would never have been allowed to take place if it was the case. The majority just want to get on with their lives peacefully. Raise families. Make a better life for themselves. You have done everything to change that Jerrod. The majority will soon know that. You will know that soon enough.
Good luck with the future jihadi. You are going to need it more than anyone who uses this site
‘………….it’s the on,y way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude thenmselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.’
That settles the argument then.
Maybe you missed the Mark Steyn video above.
He’s talking about you, you know.
On Sundays the World Service gives listeners a narrow window of opportunity to challenge its many faults. It’s called ‘Over to You,’ hosted by Rajan Datar. Usually he brings in a senior person to justify the BBC’s sins but nobody was prepared to face the fire re yesterday’s main complaint – the discrepancy in reporting on the Brussels and Lahore attacks. Brussels was “wall to wall” while Lahore barely featured.
The World Service grudgingly provided Datar with a written statement that many correspondents were on the scene to report on Brussels while access to Lahore was restricted and, bizarrely, that there were “multiple explosions and a number of suspects” in Brussels but only “a single explosion” in Lahore.
Now of course there is nothing that strange about the BBC covering its massive collective arse with obfuscation and mealy-mouthed half truths. Anyone familiar with what motivates the BBC will know that Lahore was not adequately reported on because the BBC habitually minimises and covers up the ongoing Muslim slaughter of Christians worldwide. And so I was amazed to hear Datar speak of atrocities and terror attacks in blatant disregard of the unwritten rule to shy away from accurate descriptions of Islamic barbarism.
But it got even better. Datar brought in Mike, from BBC Trending, who shattered a fundamental principle of lefty political correctness with the following observation:
“It’s completely natural to have a stronger reaction to something that’s closer to you, whether that’s geographically or culturally.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03p31h9#play
This could be the thin end of the wedge. In time we could see more and more BBC hacks start to shake off their peecee shackles. Hell, the BBC could eventually even bring us half-decent news programmes.
Be careful, you know you can get arrested for using the highly offensive and racially charged words “mealy mouthed” !
Mealy mouthed? I have my defence already prepared: I was subtly urging my BBC friends to go on a macrobiotic diet.
Planet saving stuff. Saw this on the BBC, so it must be tasty… true.
‘Anyone familiar with what motivates the BBC will know that Lahore was not adequately reported on because the BBC habitually minimises and covers up the ongoing Muslim slaughter of Christians worldwide.’
How come Brussels got more coverage than the suicide bombing in a football stadium in Iraq a few days later, or bombings in Ankara a few days before, or the attack in the Ivory Coast…..or the coverage of the attacks in Paris compared to similar attacks just about anywhere outside the west?
It’s amazing how you’re able to reduce that all down to being because the victims were Christian. And without a shred of evidence too.
It’s called bias by omission.
A bit like how the BBC are reluctant to cover the butchering, executing and religious cleansing of Christians and Jews from Islamic countries across the globe.
Too busy re-writing the history of Israel and ‘Palestine’ to be arsed, I think.
“England’s Joe Marler says he is not a racist, despite calling Wales prop Samson Lee “Gypsy boy”” states the Al mujahideen Beeb webshite.
The utterly sanctimonious, self-righteous and smug part that stands out from that headline is the word “despite”.
Can the grievance hustlers at the Al Beeb who are so utterly desperate to shoehorn every desperate opportunity of ‘everyone is a victim of the horrible white man’ narrative into its articles, please enlighten me how a lifestyle choice is a race?
Al Beeb. The traitors that just cannot help destroying the world our great forefathers built before us.
Joe would be making the statement that he’s not a racist, because of his ‘Gypsy boy’ reference wouldn’t he?
Read a book. Any book will do.
I am just reading the book “Kikuchiyo is the worlds biggest tosser who painfully doesn’t realise he is not funny”
I think you will love it as it’s an epic tale of life lived on the left. It’s ‘s all about you and your narcissistic, self important tendencies of ‘fuck everyone else’ fantasys and where as long as you are OK and feel all warm and fuzzy you will relentlessly go about about championing social destroying ideals.
Tothepoint, LOL ! But you make a point that Lefties have had a total humour bypass operation. I was watching a clip of the late , great , Dave Allen recently. ” I was asked if Priests should be allowed to marry. I replied ” Yes , if they love each other ” “. I wonder what lefties would make of that joke ? And how they would feel if a similar joke was told about Imams ?
The Left define Gypsies as a race, therefore it is so and woe betide anyone who thinks otherwise.
See Mark Steyn video above – that’s you he’s talking about.
And of course the context that this comment was said is not considered at all. A crucial Six Nations game that was likely to determine the tournament. Marler wants to wind his opponent up and lose focus on the game. End result, England win and Wales lose. Job done!
And Lee had previously called him an English posh boy.
But that’s ok. Not even a hint of ‘racism’.
Those who have seen the recent film ‘Legend’ about the Kray twins will have seen the scene in which Ronnie Kray has a gay sex party which was attended by a Tory Lord, and a Labour politico. When the Police approach Harold Wilson with the news, they first tell him about Tory peer Lord Boothby, and Wilson shows his hate of the Tories saying he would only expect such from them. When presented with the evidence of Labour Chairman Tom Driberg however he decides that the adverse publicity is too great a price to pay, and hushes the whole sordid scene up.
Driberg was a horrible man – perhaps the equivalent of the modern Peter Mandelson, without any talent however, and for his efforts received a life peerage!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Driberg
Boothby wasn’t much better
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Boothby,_Baron_Boothby
The press knew all about both of them, but declined to tell. The political parties knew about them, and did all they could to keep the scandal away from the public realm.
The level of squalid depravity both parties fell to is appalling, although almost certainly it goes on today with Journalists failing to print what might end up in the demise of a mans (and lets face it most of the perves are men) career.
The Krays were linked to sexual atrocities that terrorised (or entharalled) the BBC (Saville did not work alone) and the political class that found fun in being ‘illegal’. It also links to London Council care homes that the Police ‘can find no evidence’. And they never will, most are dead.

A very serious subject – Islamic sexual abuse – is treated flippantly by the odious BBC speed dialist Simon Schama, whereupon the great Mark Steyn hands him his arse on a plate…..
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/04/no-simon-schama-people-worried-about-gang-rape-and-fgm-arent-obsessed-with-sex
Have just the viewed clip. Brilliant! What an odious piece of shit Schama appears to have turned into. And what a devastating and honest and incisive rebuttal Steyn provided.
It was masterclass on how lefty “thinkers” will use any tactic/ruse to try and shame any opposition into shutting up. Their earnestness, their compassion and finally their devastating wit all on display.
I agree with the Spectator journalist – Schama s face was an absolute picture upon recieving Steyns reply. However any amusement on my part was also tempered by the fact that these are incredibly serious issues which are being buried successfully on a daily basis by the left by using similar tactics. And yes this is what we appear to be exporting to the West.
Bet Schama wished he had gone onto a Question Time Debate instead might have got a group hug at the end to make him feel better about himself!
Thanks for that link, DownBoy. Just watched the whole debate. It was a real education:
http://www.steynonline.com/7503/live-in-toronto-steyn-farage-vs-arbour-schama
This man Schama is now commissioned along with Mary Beard to give us an updated version of the wonderful ‘Civilisation’ by Sir Kenneth Clark – shudder.
shudder indeed….Two people, one of whom self identifies as a “naive, optimistic humanist” who wants open door migration for all “refugees” the other has worn a badge portraying the Communist mass murderer Mao during her appearance on Question Time.
Unbelievable.
I too had the misfortune to see the first half hour of Marcella and went through two refills in my pen ticking boxes – I couldn’t afford to keep watching this dross, but I have seen better plotting, characterisation, and acting in an episode of Love thy Neighbour ( or Four Feather Falls – that’s for the oldies !).
Funny wasn’t it? Her husband’s black, her old boss was black, her new boss is pakistani, her colleague is a bulldyke…
I seriously doubt Jack Regan would recognise the Met these days.
To cap it all, they put Anna Friel in the bath and we don’t see a thing! The French do this much better, they wouldn’t make that mistake in Spiral.
But yes, a tedious box ticking exercise in political correctness. Oh, and the murderer will be a white man, won’t he?
> To cap it all, they put Anna Friel in the bath and we don’t see a thing!
Ah yes, the nub of the matter: ITV should concentrate on the racist adolescent market, and help those stunted men who have heard about women and would quite like to be able to meet one one day.
Yuk! Friel has more filler than a 1977 Cortina.
Don’t comment on things you know nothing about…
Much better Aidan gets his shirt off and Tom bears his bum.
Gets the ladies of the media all atwitter.
And some of the women.
The BBC seems to have those it speaks to well pegged:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/35962167/ex-porn-star-amber-rayne-is-found-dead-at-her-home-in-los-angeles
Some commenters have enquired about their ‘news’ priorities, though. Clearly only so much time available.
Jerrod, your sense of humour cracks me up. Or are you actually in the Junior Anti-Sex League?
Sounds like you have described yourself there jihadi! You have a weird and psychotic hatred of the white man so it’s a great big tick in the racist box for you and clearly you are so unhealthily self-important and narcissistic and see your self-serving delusions as right for everyone that you are far too inward to be thinking about the fairer sex
‘….and help those stunted men who have heard about women and would quite like to be able to meet one one day.’
Bit of a slanted hint at sexism there? Something a bit unhealthy about wanting to see a bit of naked female flesh on TV, is there?
Not a bit like the Guardian female writers leaving a slug trail after writing in their columns about Poldark. Oh, noooo…..
Looked up “Four Feather Falls” Don, 40 seconds in??!!

Be interesting how the reporting of the reporting plays out, if at all.
BBc North West and off we go two “locals” suspected death in Syria. Yep there are “fears”, yea right. Also a report on dead illegal immigrant from Calais clinging onto a lorry that crashed in Oxfordshire. http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/national/14400987.Fatal_lorry_crash_victim__first_refugee_killed_in_Britain_in_2016_/
It’s on North West because apparently the illegal was trying to get to his uncle in Manchester. Oh dear, how sad never mind.
Just watching a clip on YouTube. The late and great Dave Allen. ” I hope to hell that God has a sense of humour. Otherwise I am in big trouble “. I am not sure that the BBC or Ropers would like that one !

Jerrod
Here is a direct quote from one of your postings above:
“Biased BBC isn’t a mouthpiece for the silent majority: it’s the witterings of a lunatic fringe that gangs together because it’s the only way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude themselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.”
Do you know what irony is?
Yes. So when a patronising arse comes after me but stays silent when numerous right wing lunatic bigots act like they’re the silent majority, I have another word to go to as well as sanctimony, hypocrisy and idiocy.
Did you get that bigger spade I arranged to be handed down into the hole for you, Jerrod?
About time for a tea break…..
Does he know what irony is?
Probably similar to woody,steely and plasticky 😉
The civilised debating discourse thing is such a tricky path to navigate for some.
Jerrod is here to destroy and disrupt. That is the way.
If he had a loudspeaker, it would be turned up to volume 11.
“We don’t mind a bit of bias…”
Fear not, the BBC haven’t suddenly thrown their hands up in frank admission of the obvious. This was just a flip remark from Dan Walker – the new chap on BBC Breakfast. A show that’s hardly known for its men’s men and where he makes Billy Turnbull look like John Wayne in his pomp. Like all the current crop this BBC posh boy is more Marlborourgh College than Marlboro Man.
But the discussion that prefixed that off-the-cuff semi-blooper was interesting in the way that it gave an insight into the seemingly endless conveyor belt of straight-to-air BBC daily issue campaingers.
Great Crested Newts – I kid you not. The beeboids ask of their guest newt wrangler : “Why should we care?”
Answer: “Well, to be honest, it’s my job… so I’m biased”
Oh hallelujah, for once we have a BBC guest willing to be honest with the viewers. The guy actually declared his self-interest. He sees a newt and to him it looks like his bread and butter. If only a few more BBC guests were as frank.
Deep in the standby gob Green Room, Ken awakes from his slumbers…
And more ‘you could have knocked me down with a feather’ news
‘The 17-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in south-east London on Sunday night was a rapper…’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-35957764
Today he`ll be a top musician on the verge of true greatness-why he might have become a Ronnie Size, a Tineh Tempah, a Dizzy Rascal or even a Dappy!
Now-do we file his death under Biggie or Tupac in scale…ask `em down in childrens telly or sport, Elspeth will you hon?
Top Recording Arsist -to-be slain on Da Street maan!
Do whites like Eminem and Mike Skinner HAVE to be so much better than our useless Ronnie Hiltons of rap, as spawned in Peabody Ghettoes of Sahf Landan then?
Still-consider the upside…what with the deaths of the Warrington lads and manager a few weeks back( who`d only just touched the hem of Jo Whileys nightie..THAT`S how close to being big they were!)…and our chum above…AND Bowie-and hopefully a rewind to how we all felt when Jacko passed by the ballpool in 2009…we could get at LEAST half a days silence by way of tribute at Glasto this year.
Maybe more if we get some mud and Jezzas/Braggs motability scooter to the Deadwood Stage can`t run in the slime…oozing from Billys guitar case, where he forgot to take his prawn fricasse and sanatogen out in time.
Since when did talking over someone else’s music in way that no one can understand become a ‘talent’?
All musical genres pass, Rock’n’Roll, Glam, Punk, Grunge, New Wave, New Romantic etc etc, but bloody Rap has been with us since the ‘seminal’ (sic the BBC) Rappers Delight in 1979 and hasn’t really evolved at all.
Is it ‘cos it is cultural?
BBC Radio 4’s Pismronunciation Unit having great troubleumalations with Mohsac Fonsekka … Moss-sack Fonseeker …… Mow-sack Fonze-seeker, this morning –
– a touching tribute to the Two Wrongies.
In more murder news… ‘where you are’…. I think the BBC London news presenter this morning said her name was ‘Arthur Patel’ – perhaps I’m getting a bit mutt ‘n’ jeff in my old age? Anyway the bright and new minted BBC presenter obviously didn’t fancy getting to grips with too many tricky tongue twisters just yet. Although she named ‘Mr Nasrollahi, who died from a single stab wound…. following a fatal stabbing in Barnet, north London’ she demurred to mention the names of the four local chaps charged with his murder.
BBC London on line fills the gaps – in case anyone was wondering
‘John Opoku Appiagyei, aged 26, of Ballards Lane, Finchley and Francis Osei Appiagyei, 23, of Albany Road, Brentford, were charged on Monday….Bright Osei, 21, of north Finchley, and Nelphy Lelu, 22, of Golders Green, appeared at Hendon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.’
‘No biggie’ as they say.
‘Black Lives Matter’ anyone?
Jerrod “Biased BBC isn’t a mouthpiece for the silent majority: it’s the witterings of a lunatic fringe that gangs together because it’s the on,y way a group of sad, bitter inadequates can delude thenmselves that their failures in life are anything but their own responsibility.”
Biased BBC may have been that largely or in some measure in the past. It was a complaint that several made on here.
Now, it is increasingly becoming a replacement community for wider matters who used to group around the Blogs of the Senior BBC Editors: Politics, Economics & Business. The BBC have been increasingly clamping down on any form of Comment and Have Your Say on those for several years. Now, in its infinite wisdom, it has shut those down to comment. Yesterday was interesting in that it marked the first day – in my memory – that the BBC had no Comment or HYS available on any subject other than Sport on its main pages.
That drives people away from the BBC’s own web-site, does it not Jerrod?
It is Charter Renewal year and closing down debate or comment doesn’t seem to be a good way to demonstrate a commitment to Inform, Educate and Entertain or to openness and democracy. Is that correct, Jerrod?
Does this current BBC policy toward participation by ‘the owners and funders’ of its business not drive people away to sites such as this one, Jerrod?
The BBC’s dabblings with interactivity have worked out about as well as their commitment to transparency.
I am wondering how and when they will review what happens on Facebook posts, as they now very seldom suggest that the BBC speaks for the audience capable of responding.
Twitter they have sorted: follow only fellow travelers, block any with counter views. This mirrors their editorial integrity guidelines perfectly.
Great bit of shed telly for blokes last night on BBC4.
James May fixing up an old lawn mower-and a British Airways jet getting a recon in Cardiff.
Great telly-90 mins, no gays, no nails, no shrieks, no gender bendings and no Claire Balding…and her feministical bush birds who pack inside her like a Trojan trannie.
Yorkie bar our, bottle of brown…and whoever put THOSE 90 minutes together deserves the WTT medal( Worm That Turned!).
Lots of face powder, snot and runny mascara on the shed window outside this morning…GOOD!
Going to fix that bike puncture today now!..TRUE inspiring telly there lads!
And not a mention of global mashups either…not a moaning minority, no shade of Benetton required re face colours either. No green crap, no birds killed.
Deep joy…we were all heroes for 90 mins then!
You weren’t playing close attention, the woman camera person (often in shot) who just happened to have the right spanner in her ‘kit’ to reassemble the throttle mechanism, subliminal, but it was there….
Was it really 90 minutes? I thought it was 30.
I added the two shows together-I saw it as the length of a football match, to add to my hired blokey periscope for the night.
No, never really noticed her-was she though a Debbie McGee to the Paul Daniels/James May parallels?
Or did she just look like a bag of spanners…whatever did happen to Charlie Dhimmi?
This site is degenerating into the Jerrod Show. There really are more important things to discuss and comment on.
Very true, it would appear that his tactics are working.
Ignore!
Jerrod who?
Seriously, he/she is a troll intent on hurt. He/she/bbc mole often fails to produce a challenging argument and also rarely answers the questions put to him/her. I tend to read Jerrod’s posts cursorily these days.
However, it would be good if jerrod/zero did produce an informative analytical post which promulgated thoughtful debate without the normal snide concomitant rudeness.
Indeed, this site would most certainly benefit from a genuine alternative pro BBC view which could,if possible, provide a more challenging, thought provoking debate. I would greatly welcome this, and the debate would I hope be measured, polite, pertinent and constructive.
If Jerrod is the best representative the BBC can provide to represent its left wing views then that it is, in itself, a consequential statement of an inept and incompetent flawed corporation in dire need of a root and branch reorganisational overhaul
Agree with Geoff, don’t read his posts, don’t engage with him, he is like Kevin the teenager in a bitter old man’s body.
Got to be honest-hardly see the bloke, but he did call me a humungus or such, which took me to the dictionary for a few minutes.
So see him as an educational charity maybe.
Certainly can detect a smell of old socks and grannys gripe water at times when he`s breezed by here with a rubber mallet and a sponge brick…and he gets his betters a bit eggy at times.
But a harmless diversion really-as if an old Werthers Original had been spat out and left under the coming tanks in Tiananmen Square.
If you read this far jerry-I know it was humunculus by the way. Education is never wasted.
If he called you a humungus maybe you should be flattered:
http://madmax.wikia.com/wiki/Lord_Humungus
Can’t see it being acceptable wear for a supply teacher. Maybe team it with a striped tie and blazer?
Good look for waiting for the school bus I suppose.
Weird old world you Mad Max/Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings types inhabit isn`t it?
Is that the new M&S Mecca wear outfit?
No; that’s going to be one of Corbyn’s new get-ups for PMQ’s.
