    BBC Online News:

    “”What’s it like to be the child of a survivor?””

    “”Mr Rosensaft belongs to a group sometimes referred to as the “second generation” of survivors: those born after the Holocaust who did not experience the horrors, but grew up in the wake of them””

    “At the very least, we have to try to prevent similar atrocities.”

    “”He said this was particularly relevant now, because anti-immigration sentiment seemed to be on the rise in much of Europe. Survivors’ children were uniquely well-placed to speak out about racism and intolerance, he said””

    “”When I hear slogans of ‘Muslims out’ in Germany I want to remind people that it wasn’t all that long ago that the slogan was ‘Jews out’ “”

    This is a disgusting report by the BBC in order to support their Left Wing ‘uncontrolled migration’ beliefs.

    It compares the Holocaust with mass immigration. The BBC are saying that if we don’t support mass uncontrolled immigration, we will create another holocaust.

    No pressure there, eh??

    On the Daily Politics, Gaulke was describing labours immigration policy (I know)
    He said they would control the numbers by having a quality control over those wanting to come in.
    It sounded to me like the Australian style points system in all but name.
    Of course, the bar will be set very low. If you can write an ‘x’ for your name, that would probably be enough.

    Corbyn is telling his party and the UK via the news service that Labour will set up a multi-million pound fund to deal with the consequences of immigration. But I thought all immigration was good, all these immigrants contribute to the UK economy. So why do we need a fund?????????????????
    Could it be that some of these ‘needed’ immigrants contribute jack sh!t to the UK, stand around on street corners all day and suck the benefits system dry? And now we need a tax-payer fund to support them. Jeremy, whatever land is the other side of cloud-cuckoo, you have just landed. Chances of election victory just gone negative. You are a complete and total prat.

      He also wants to negotiate with EU colleagues (meaning do nothing) to balance pay across the EU.

      Wouldn’t that mean rich countries subsidising the workers who remain in their poor countries, in other words our contribution goes up?

    Emigre: a person who has left their own country in order to settle in another, typically for political reasons.

    Seems a peculiar description for Shimon Perez. What’s wrong with ‘Israeli’?

    Why do the BBC have to drag up the irritating Rachel Shabi (yes really). She is a guardianista to the core, eulogises Corbyn and uses stupid phraseology to duck hard questions such as ‘ creating a narrative’ . And the only counterweight is the labour sympathiser Norman Smith.

      Oh thank you EE ! I thought I was the only one thinking that about Rachel Shabi – suddenly she is the person to go to for a soundbite. She’s a regular press reviewer on Sky, and now we have to suffer her on the Beeb – there are a couple of others too who pitch up regularly to add their tuppence worth. My only thought is, when do they do their day job ??? and where do they find these people ?

      “Andrew Neil interviewing Barry Gardiner on Labour’s opposition to fracking, etc..
      Gardiner was absolutely adamant that we export more gas than we import therefore have no need of new sources. He restated this several times under pressure from AN.
      A few minutes afterwards AN announced that government figures show that the UK has been a net importer of gas for years and imports account for about 40% of consumption.
      So is Gardiner just completely adrift with no hold on his brief as Shadow Energy Minister or was he trying to mislead deliberately to shore up their policy position?
      Just appalling.”

      Ha ha, Better educated, they have degrees. Ever tried invigilating them when doing their examinations? Cheating is widespread; they continue writing their drivel after you call time, and any complaints or down grading is WAAYCIST.

      • GCooper says:

        Quite right – and that’s to ignore the plethora of non-subjects and the rampant grade inflation which make some degrees today of less value than an A level from the past.

    There is an item in the BBC Recruitment Advertiser today by one Tim Dowling, not familiar with him but his picture has the correct smug, superior, lefty look, accompanied by the same dismissive, writing style.

    About a Paki bouncer who got called a Paki and started a pillow fight.

    I am sure I would have remembered if this Dowling fellow had written something about the tens of thousands of white children who have been raped, are still being raped, by these loveable Pakis.

    What ever you do not follow this link -YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!:

    Click to access creating_a_faith_-_friendly_workplace_for_muslims_eng.pdf

    The tax payer funded Equality and Human Rights board in Wales have come up with some interesting ideas to bring Islam into your work place.

    Here are just some of the measures they want your company to take

    Be sensitive to cultural differences around handshaking and direct eye contact. It is not about being impolite. (It is impolite in the UK! So shouldn’t immigrants conform to our measures of manners?)

    Let applicants and employees know that your workplace recognises different religions and beliefs. (why? I do not want a religion in my work place, it is a place of work not superstition.)

    Look for a clean and quiet space for prayers – a space shared by all faiths can be an advantage. (Again this is a place for work not of superstition).

    In using the toilet Muslim staff may prefer to clean themselves with clean running water. A small jug, which can be kept in a cubicle, is sufficient for this. (Or they could use loo paper and then wash their hands afterwards like just about everyone else in the sane world? Would I want someone in the workplace who has just wiped his arse with his left hand three times in accordance with the Quran?)

    BTW if you wish to work for the board then you must be prepared to work 36 hours a week, take 30 days a year holiday, accept the extraordinary gold plated civil service pension, free child care, free eye care and have free counseling for ‘all employees, their partners and children.’ Yes I know its not free but this is the civil service and they think it is free.
