    ‘UK Ebola nurse Pauline Cafferkey cleared of misconduct’

    No doubt that will be the BBC head line. And probably this will get a nice mention:

    ‘First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: “Sending my very best wishes to Pauline Cafferkey. Her bravery is an inspiration to all of us.”‘

    But read the small print further down the report and you learn these facts :

    ‘The panel also heard that Ms Cafferkey accepted that her temperature had been measured at above 38C, yet allowed a reading of 37.2C to be recorded, after which she continued to the arrivals area…. Ms Cafferkey admitted taking paracetamol at some point but did not mention it to a doctor when she returned to the screening areas… Hours later she was diagnosed with one of the most severe viral loads of Ebola ever recorded’

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-37364497

    So how come she was cleared?

    Answer: ‘Doctors’ evidence to the panel stated that early symptoms of Ebola would have impaired Ms Cafferkey’s judgement’

    A reasonable mitigating circumstance – except she was supposed to have been a trained medic specialising in Ebola treatment. It’s as though Nadiya Hussain fluffed up whilst making a pie.

      I’m curious as to why she is a ‘UK’ Ebola Nurse on the website but a ‘Scottish’ nurse on Radio 4 news.

      Unrelated, but in similar fashion, Mr Junker’s claim that Brexiteers kill Poles was prominent on the broadcast news but buried in a story about needing an EU military HQ.

    BBC Online News:

    “”Bosses more cautious on jobs after Brexit, survey finds””

    “”Employers in six out of nine sectors are less optimistic about adding jobs in the wake of the Brexit vote, a survey has found””

    “”The survey was conducted in the weeks after the referendum was held””

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37341094

    Old news dressed up as new to suit the BBC anti-Brexit narrative. The survey was conducted in the weeks after Brexit.

    The current news has an increase in confidence!
    “”A total of 8% of employers expect to increase staff numbers, 4% forecast a decrease and 87% anticipate no change””

    I was in the car around 12 noon and heard Radio 4 news headlines. Something about Mr Junker having made a speech where he said that the EU would not stand by whilst Polish people in Sussex were attacked for being non-British. This was linked to his justification for an EU army. I was busy later but the report seemed considerably watered down by 2pm. Did I dream it? I could hardly believe what I was hearing, it sounded like a declaration of war and an invasion threat by a EU army.

      This is the globalists’ ultimate goal, a one world government with a single army and a single centre of power. The EU is just the start, there’s already plans for North America and Asia to follow suit and of course Africa and the Middle East already have prototypes in place. It’s up to every sovereign nation to stand up against what is quite reasonably described as a dictatorship.

      So basically the answer being proposed to one of the main reasons for the justifiable growth of populist nationalism is to have more of the very same thing that is helping fuel populist nationalism. I wish these non-leaders across the globe would have a moment of collective suicide. That would be glorious.

      Mr Junker – Notice his typical Jesuit body language as he was rubbing his eyes while looking down (that’s a typical trick of the Jesuits – they say it makes them look more submissive to who they are speaking to) while sat in his chair while listening Farage’s speech!

      In fact, most of the “big-shots” within the euro parliament are Jesuits, and are instructed to report frequently to the Pope on the state of play within that big den of thieves in Strasburg!

      Merkel? Oh, no! She is a CDP (Christian democrat party) no doubt put there by jerry to hold-back the Euro runaway juggernaught!

    Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, warned today of the ‘existential threat’ of Brexit and pointed to the murder of a Polish man in Harlow, Essex last month as an example of what could happen if Europe does not unite.

    http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/eu-facing-an-existential-threat-in-the-wake-of-brexit-jean-claude-juncker-the-european-commission-president-to-warn/ar-AAiRCPW

    I’m sure, in the interest of fairness and balance, he will then go on to say how the murder of 86 innocent people by Islamic terrorists in Nice and the arrest yesterday in Germany of three ISIS scum posing as Syrian asylum seekers was a good example of the dangers Europe faces from the Muslim invasion.

    He will then break into a song and dance routine and tell a few jokes.

      All murder is a hate crime. Surely!

      So if, for argument’s sake, we accept that Poles are a different race then killing a Pole might be considered as a racist murder. But only if he was killed for being a Pole. If, however, he was killed for any other reason it cannot be a racist murder.

      In fact, even if it was a racist murder would he have been killed even if we hadn’t voted Brexit? Probably, so Brexit cannot be blamed.

      Does anyone actually know the real reason for the murder? Until we do we must assume it wasn’t a racist act.

        Run out of time to add this to the above post.

        A further thought is if we hadn’t been in the EU with its dangerous Open-Border Policy then he probably wouldn’t have been in this country so he wouldn’t have been killed. Therefore we can truly say that the EU has killed this man. Therefore the EU is totally responsible for this man’s murder. QED

    ‘. . . which Argentina calls Las Malvinas.’

    Just now, on the ‘Six O’Clock News’ on Radio 4, a report about the recent discussions between the UK and Argentina over cooperation and development in the Falkland Islands. Which are known in English, the language of the majority to whom the BBC broadcasts, as ‘the Falkland Islands’. A comment of that kind, both on radio and TV, normally precedes a clip in which a non-native English speaker refers to ‘Las Malvinas’ without further elucidation.

    And in those circumstances, that would be unexceptionable: it happens quite a lot. The persons interviewed don’t habitually speak English, they don’t habitually refer to English-language place-names. They use the place-names of their native language. Remarkably few Germans refer to Cologne as ‘Cologne’.

    Except, of course, in the report in question, there was no such clip. The only person speaking, apart from the reporter, was someone who lives on the Falklands. Adding that Argentina calls the islands ‘Las Malvinas’ added next-to-nothing to the report. Apart from gently suggesting Argentina’s geopolitical equivalence to the allegiance the islanders themselves consistently profess.

    Subtle, yes. But abject and contemptible, too.

      w
      While the AlBeeb reporter is asking David Cameron about the EU army he might also ask him about Turkey joining the EU in 3000AD, two days after the referendum talks between the EU and Turkey resumed. All the frightening stuff was lied about and temporarily stopped until the referendum. Afterwards full steam ahead.

      However I think the EU will have problems with EU army creation. Many states will not elect anyone proposing to turn over their armed forces to the unelected ****s in Strasbourg and elsewhere. After Ukraine who would choose to serve in an army run by crackpots.
      I doubt that France will allow the EU to have control of its nuclear weapons.

      What about NATO? Is the proposal to ditch NATO? I am sure the USA would need, or even demand, to have its desires considered.

      So, while I have no doubt that the senior Eurotwats are salivating profusely at the thought of their own army, there are some large hurdles to get over.

      Meanwhile the problems with the banking sector in the Eurozone have not disappeared despite not being front page news. The ponzi scheme which is the Euro is in big trouble and the only method the EU bankers seem to have to “solve” the problem is :-

      #1 Print zillions more “out of thin air” “money” which only exists as bytes on some EU computer.
      #2 Transfers these worthless bytes down optic fibres to failed banks as loans, they might need be given other names to ensure compliance with regulations, they should be described as gifts since they will never be repaid.
      #3 Cross their fingers and hope that hyperinflation on a Hungarian Pengo scale takes place and reduces the loans to petty cash levels. This has already been tried, and it failed.

      If there is a good result in the Italian referendum the Euro could be an ex-currency by the end of 2017. Come on Italians you know it makes sense.

      Best wishes to all (real) Europeans. Ill wishes for the EU.

    BBC in full overdrive on Colin Powell’s leaked emails.

    No, let me rephrase that. The BBC are in full overdrive on just one of Colin Powell’s emails. Of course it’s the one referring to Trump.

    Desperately trying to spin on Powell’s outrage at the “Clinton Mafia” (Powell’s words) trying to embroil him in the email scandal and ignoring Powell’s observations that Clinton is literally on her last legs.

    Not a whiff of this one. Powell on Bill Clinton, “Still at home dicking bimbos” And of course no word on Hillary’s “unbridled greed and ambition”

      TPO – in reference to your last sentence what the BBC are too thick to understand is that they are not the “envy of the world”/”the worlds most celebrated broadcaster” due to their journalism.

      Its the simple fact that they are British and the world all over respect us and quite right too as they probably read history books and see that a tiny island conquered the world then had the heart and goodwill to give it back.

      The sad sad reality however is that anyone who comes here today would be quite right in having difficulty in tying this history to what their eyes see on the streets of any of our major cities.

      As for the poor american/chinese tourists that probably spend a lot of their hard earned money to come to London and then wander why it looks like a Middle Eastern/African hybrid metropolis. No doubt the tour guides however are still pushing beefeaters, the queen, cup of tea… That was gone a good 10 years ago I’d be surprised if any remains in 10 years time.

      The liberal left as well as in all aspects of our life are also destroying the London tourism industry. No amount of virtue signalling brings in the billions.

      Grrrrrrrrr sorry grew up in London and it really gets to me…. Walked down Peckham Rye today and I genuinely felt like I was living back in Africa again…. Oh and it absolutely stank, was repulsive in too many ways to list individually.

The EU will build Bunkers on some of the Hills surrounding the EU enclave in Old England, but after nine months of occupation they will withdraw due to the need to fight Frexit, assist mass immigration from the Third World, as well as the need to attack Media sources reporting on the successful Islamic attacks on female members of the EU Army HQ in Brussels by said Immigrants and Refuges.

Every bad act is because everyone is racist or hate them because they are Muslims!! How can our societies survive when we have such a divisive, intolerant, hate filled community living amongst us?!

      2: The lefts have shown their line of attack in their protection of Islam. Someone being burnt by a lighter is so trivial and has happened to most people, so there was never any ‘hate’ in this act. The media, including the Islamic Al Beeb, have have purposesly used this non event as a way of telling whitey that “all other commitments are the real victims and it is you that is hate filled and intolerant for suggesting otherwise”

    Moving on. World News 0100 Hrs 15.09.16. Concern that only 54 of the “1 million refugees” in Germany have been offered any work. BBC tell us why – its the German companies/employers that’s the problem: they’re short-sighted and fail to recognise that, for example Syrian Universities are on a par with elsewhere in Europe in their quality of education. Two biased nonentities appearing to know what they are talking about, inform the listener. The whole ‘news’ feature was jamb-packed with lies and and deceit. The number of invaders that have entered Germany is at least, the very least 1.5 million, (but probably >2 Mil unofficially including unregistered). I can’t find the official figures immediately but it would be a simply matter of basic research to do so. Moreover, the official German figures support the fact that probably only 40% of the so-called, ‘Refugees’ are actually, ‘Refugees’ from Syria. The rest dear, lying BBC are illiterates from Africa and elsewhere most with no formal education whatever and who will not ever find work in Germany. And there’s the number that flatly refuse to even entertain ‘work’ as they firmly believe they are ‘guests’ of Merkel. The, ‘Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster’? In your dreams BBC!

      The German employers are not as stupid as Merkel. They will take people on as long as the cost/damage to their business is compensated accordingly.

      Imagine being in charge of the training:

      Boss: “You have to say, “Would you like fries with that?”
      Employee: “All*hu Ac*bar.”

      Just a thought on the problem.
      How many of the newcomers, from not only Syria, are running to avoid conscription? Can you imagine how the world would have looked now had this been the case in the UK in 14-18 and 39-45.
      I don’t feel that outside aid in scuppering a nations armed forces would have been looked upon very kindly.
      Arguably, it could be said that had the Germans rebelled against conscription in the first place that there would have been no impetus towards war in the first place, but that is moot now.

      I suggest you all look at today’s Gates of Vienna site. AS many of us know it is Hungary and the Visegrad Four who are going to decide much of the EU’s future – that is if it has one which looks increasingly unlikely.
      GOV is carrying a verbatim translation of Viktor Orban’s latest speeches
      Our world class BBC never has much time for such things what with bake off and the labour party farce but it is in the old East that the fight back against what Orban calls the nihilists of the EU will start and our exit has given them real hope.
      If I read him right he accuses the nihilists running the EU of deliberate and unrelenting attempts to destroy the Judeo Christian based civilisation of Europe.
      He makes it clear the the October referendum in Hungary which the nihilists hate will give the people of Hungary the authority to start to reclaim their borders.
      He warns that so desperate is the EU leadership that it will bypass national governments and try to settle immigrants in cities over the governments’ heads.
      Our troubles with Brussels are in comparison minor and thank God we voted out.
      AS I have always said watch Hungary closely for it is there that the real spirit of our Europe will start to recover itself .
      Incidentally Orban’s portrayal of the EU elite as nothing but destructive nihilists makes it clear why they hated Farage so much and why they are so determind to impose what hardship they can on us now.
      None of this will surface on our useless media .
      The Hungarians are under no illusions but that the current EU leadership is all about the destruction of our civilisation and the imposition of one controlled by an amoral elite for it’s own benefit. Bit different from the sickly sweet remain case put forward by our tame media.
      Where I differ from Orban’s view is that he still believes that the people of the old east can take back control. I do not and think that an abrupt split is now inevitable. Just listen to Juncker and the rest and you know that these are determind enemies of freedom.

        Strange Dave. Hungary is a signatory to the UN and it is they who are calling the tune in respect of the invasion of Europe which they initially prompted and currently support wholeheartedly. The UN even have a written plan for it and the extermination/ethnic cleansing of the white Europeans all to be completed by 2030. So, on that basis, the Visegrad Four may well be in conflict with the UN as well. This supposes that their current voiced opposition is not a ploy to pacify their peoples and create a bargaining chip……………..

        The V4 countries are partial to the EU handouts that they receive though. Merkel has already made noises about financial penalties towards Hungary and other non cooperators. The resolve of the people and government will show through if they can resist the bribes.
        As for Juncker, his speech was nothing but poison for anybody with a sense of pride in their nation. They clearly do want to homogenise the entire continent and aren’t going to back down any time soon.

Many names have been mentioned incl the usual suspects – Linekar, Evans, Norton, Bruce etc, but now we have included in this list the likes of Claudia Winkleman and Tessa Daly ! Um, I realise that reading an autocue doesn’t warrant a modicum of intelligence yet commands a 6 figure salary, but can anyone tell me why CW and Tess Daly are apparently earning £500,000 ??? clearly ‘talent’ is now defined by wearing a nice frock, working for 6 hours every weekend for 4 months and have the personality of a plank.

    The ever increasing “unprecedented” crime rate in Germany caused by the so-called, “Refugees” fleeing their war torn and devastated countries, has caused the authorities to create a dedicated Police Team to deal with it. Since previous crimes have all effectively been dismissed by the Police and judiciary, one wonders what effect the new Police Team will have. I assume that their existence will reassure the passive German population being milked dry, that the level of crime is being dealt with, ‘severely’.

      Get with the agenda, Tabs!

      Here are a few terms to be going on with:

      (1) Assigned gender – when you were born, you were assigned to a gender; but the latter was essentially an arbitrary assignation, being based on outdated notions of biological determinism rather than the creative self-definition which is preferred today.

      (2) Cisnormativity – the prejudice that remaining in your arbitrarily assigned gender [see (1) above] is in some way ‘normal’.

      (3) Heteronormativity – the mistaken notion that to be heterosexual is in some way equatable with ‘normality’.

      (4) Heterobinaryism – a prejudice that divides humans into females and males, and dictates that they should be interested in pairing with someone from the opposite group.

      (5) Cismale – someone who was arbitrarily assigned to the ‘male’ (sic) gender at birth and who has decided to accept society’s restrictive definition of her/him.

      (6) Lesbian male – a person assigned at birth to the ‘male’ gender who considers her-/himself to be a female and is attracted to other females.

    It’s now become blindingly obvious how the BBC are cautiously ‘neutral’ with certain events, but ignore that when it comes to other self-loathing possibilities.

    This ‘racist’ attack reporting has all the lazy bias that reminds me of the ‘terrorist house’ story. Then there’s the ramping up of attacks on Polish people, and the pregnant woman, that are reported as ‘racist’ with no caution whatsoever.

    The BBC has gone beyond biased, it has actually become racist itself.

      Thanks for those links, it is very interesting and illuminating to compare the two versions. The BBC appears to be playing a game of seeing how many times they can include the term ‘far-right’ in its version. One quote from a police spokesman used by Sky but not the BBC is,”Information available suggests that the asylum seekers had sparked the fight.”
      I wonder why the BBC decided not to use that bit?

        According to Al Beeb anyone who loves their country, especially Great Britain is ‘far right’ .

    Absolutely disgusting piece of agenda filled propaganda about the violence in Germany!! Why the F is it always the innocent white people who are just trying to protect their loved ones, the country they love and it’s futures fault!!! Why is it that the Islamic Al Beeb constantly dismiss, ridicule and slander those who are trying to prevent the destruction of their way of life and feel abandoned by the state that has sworn to protect them!!

    Just look at what the devious bastards have wrote in the article….

    “Residents have clashed with asylum seekers in a town in eastern Germany that has become a flashpoint for anti-refugee sentiment”…
    …it’s not anti-refugee!! It’s anti-islam, anti-money grabbing, anti-West hating, anti-raping innocent white girls sentiment!!

    “Some 80 locals, described by police as far-right, brawled with 20 young asylum seekers in Bautzen”….
    ….It’s always far-right!!! Anyone who doesnt just sit there and take their lives and town’s being destroyed because some sick, delusional bastard who lives in a sheltered paradise has a difference of opinion on how the little people should live, is far-right!!! F the traitorous vermin!! These countries belong to us!! Not you!!!

    “The mayor said the town had to avoid becoming a playground for the far right. A curfew has been imposed on the young asylum seekers”…..
    …a playground?! What sick bastard thinks this is a game?! Who thinks innocent children being raped is a game?! Who thinks the destruction of thousands of years of culture and heritage is a game?! How can this mayor trivialise this issue?! I’m so disgusted by this traitorous statement!!

    The next few paragraphs mention absolutely nothing at all about the endless amount of criminal activity, the Islamic acts carried out in Germany or the fact that not one single person in the whole of Germany voted for or asked for their country to be raped in such a shameful and disgraceful Manor!!

    …..then… A picture of some professional victim from Morocco… Wait… What the fuck is that?! Morocco??!!?? When were Morocco at war?? Everyones being lied to! The Germans are being lied to!! The British..
    Everyone!! And they want to know why we are angry!!

    …and then some shit eating, spineless, traitorous sewer rat called Damien McGuinnsse shows us all how we are never going to win back our futures unless people like him are removed and are never allowed to infect our beautiful County ever again… His analysis is this…

    “A region with a far-right reputation: analysis by Damien McGuinness, BBC News Berlin

    Each fresh outbreak of refugee-related violence is potentially a political problem for Chancellor Angela Merkel. Some voters say large-scale migration could destabilise German society.
    As a result the chancellor’s conservative coalition has been haemorrhaging voters to the insurgent anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. That’s a particular worry given that this weekend voters in Berlin region go to the polls, and next year Mrs Merkel’s national government faces re-election.
    But many Germans from other parts of Germany are more likely to blame the clashes on racist sentiment, rather than see it as a product of the chancellor’s welcoming stance on refugees.
    That is because this beautiful area of ex-communist eastern Germany already has a rather ugly reputation for neo-Nazi support and right-wing extremist violence”

    So the Islamic Al Beeb are concluding it’s the Far right that are the problem. The German establishment believe its the Far right. The people we are ‘letting’ run the West are going to blame everything that happens and everything we do to try and stop it on people like us……

      And bbc news at 10, using a young disabled girl to illustrate the success of migrants in Germany. Note, feargal’s statement that ‘migrants were blamed for sexual assaults in Cologne’. The propaganda is relentless.

        I was watching a German TV report on “Willkommenslotsen” or Welcome Pilots. These are idealistic, young persons employed by the Kiel Chamber of Commerce to place highly skilled new arrivals in German industry. When asked what the main difficulty was, their spokesman replied “They can’t speak German and have a low level of education” Cut to a Syrian being taught the Latin script by his 6 year old son. No doubt this touching scene was meant to be uplifting, but it shows the real scale of the problem. If you can’t read signs and street names,you are not going to make a large contribution to the economy any time soon. The new revised target is to get 50% of the million welcomees into work within 5 years!!!!

    Battle of Britain day today.

    On this day in 1940, 58 German aircraft were destroyed by the RAF.

    Here’s a very short clip from the Battle of Britain film. About 5 seconds into the clip, Junkers father is being confronted by Farage’s father.

    A classic confrontation that is relevant today. Especially if you replace the word Hitler with Merkel.

        Pity they missed off the following line when Ralph Richardson turns to his wife and says “It’s unforgiveable! I lost my temper.”
