Weekend Open Thread

Anyone who is concerned about mass, uncontrolled immigration, those of you whom the BBC suggests might be spiteful, drunken Far Right Nazis who want to gas immigrants in concentration camps, feel free to have your say about the BBC’s world view on the new open thread….

Oh..and don’t feel that the BBC is singling you out for special treatment…oh no…Trump and his supporters get tarred with the same brush as well…H/T Craig at Is the BBC Biased?…From the BBC…

Mr Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy have led to comparisons, from some quarters, with the rise of the Nazi party in Germany….The US president’s use of “enemies of the people” raises unavoidable echoes of some of history’s most murderous dictators. 

The BBC really is a disgrace…this is genuine hate crime against leave voters and Trumpers, demonising them and giving licence to the alt-left thugs to attack them….let’s not forget a Brit already tried to kill Trump…did the BBC’s constant contemptuous attacks on Trump drive him to it and ‘enable’ him?

The BBC is the enemy of the people, of free speech, of a truly democratic and liberal state.  It serves the ‘Liberal’ elite’s dictatorship.  To the BBC ‘The People’ are the enemy, to be suppressed, censored and silenced.  ‘Populism’, ie democracy, is unacceptable to the BBC.

    Institutional Trumpophobia at the BBC

    The newspaper review on BBC tv news this morning appears to take the theme of new technologies.

    The guest, a tech commentator and personable black chap dressed like Craig Charles from Red Dwarf (dreadlocks and combat jacket – but hey, that’s cool, it’s diverse and it’s young and happening – actually a throwback to the 1980s and more like Dad’s idea of cool.. but again hey ho).

    The main news report of interest is about robots doing all the menial jobs. You have to smile when our tech guy Dan explains to his hosts – two interchangable examples of the many identical BBC feisty female and beta male sofa bots – that their jobs are ok because they love doing them (and safe too presumable is his job) so overall this must be a good idea – no fear they will ever be robotised – what a laugh.

    Anyway, guest what… Big State could step in and pay all the useless prols a ‘social wage’. Another smile when we learn the place where this utopian idea is being tried out. Yes you guessed – think of the very whitest place on planet earth – Finland.

    As I made clear this guest named Dan was a personable enough chap but he obviously knows what’s expected when he enters an institution that has an office culture of prejudice and bias.

    For his last newspaper snippet (from the left-leaning Observer) we get a slow news day magazine-type report on handshakes. “If you have a firm handshake you are more likely to have been a bully at school” – can you guess yet where this is going?

    BBC newspaper review guest Dan: “I’m not saying Trump is a bully.. but this report does”

    Gary Kasparov on Andrew Marr to talk about Trump and Russia. What the fuck does he know? He is a chess player who hates Putin! They keep trying to flog that dead horse of the Flynn resignation, who had some tenuous link to Russia, did he read some Dostoyevsky once or something? The BBC is a disgrace.

      Kasparov is a highly intelligent man who actually knows quite a lot . He’s also very brave because Putin has not hesitated to murder his opponents whether in Moscow, London or elsewhere around the world . Putin is a vicious dictator of what, thankfully, is only a medium sized economy . However he runs a corrupt gangster society that has impoverished its ordinary citizens as well as destabilising any country that may want to become part of the West.

        Yep, Kasparov is a hero who knows where all too many of the bodies are buried in Russian politics and beyond.
        That`s not to say that he`s the whole package-may well be flawed, but his courage and awareness of how and why Putins Russia is going where it is, is to be respected.
        Reading Russian history tells you much more though, and I still think that Yeltsin was their Trump-and we failed to back his brave efforts to create a Euro democracy. We had the chance-but we sent them Armand Hammer,cosied up to Maxwell and George Bush Snr and pissed the “peace dividend” into the Gulf sands.
        Still though-we`e got a Chelsea team doing OK-so the liberals nearby will stay stupid.

    In their ‘Enemies of the people’ article, our fair and balanced bibistan manage to tar Trump, Brexit and the Daily Mail with the same brush as Stalin, Mao, hard labour camps and mass murder.
    Thus proving Trump’s point.
    They add: “Trump’s remark drew comparisons with dictators Stalin and Mao.”
    By whom? Beeb journos in the pub?
    The article goes on: “Steve Silberman, an award-winning writer and journalist, wondered whether the remark would prompt Trump supporters to shoot at journalists.”
    You mean in the same way the hysterical anti Trump rhetoric prompted a Brit to attempt to shoot Trump during the campaign?

      Clearly, the Putin shtick is a pre-emptive strike to discredit all those imminent elections in Europe that could “go the wrong way” from the point of view of the BBC. If you can slur anti-EU sentiment in Europe, you can indirectly slur Brexit. The Blairs and Mandlesons of this world clearly think they can lie their way to a Brexit reversal. A le Pen or Wilders victory would be catastrophic for them as it would clearly show the EU is on the way out on many fronts.

    I thoroughly enjoyed President Trump’s speech /rant last night. He completely out manouevres the media elite and talks straight to the public. I find it refreshing and i love the fact that they so clearly loathe him and are made absolutely redundant. You might get a few snotty talking heads after the event but they are beginning to look tired, defeated and not fit for purpose. He’s lanced the media boil. His constant reference (and others) to the bias and “fake news” must make even the most gormless BBC addict question what they are being fed on a daily basis.
    Oh, and at last, the Beeb have shown us war torn, riot strewn, arson inflicted Paris. Well done BBC! How long did it take them? And, of course, it’s being presented through the pc prism of the “assault” on a young man. The endless cliches about poverty, disenfranchisement, parallel societies etc. We all knew how they would report this catastrophic breakdown a week ago. Most sane people (I don’t include most Labour voters in that assessment) will ask the question about the wisdom of mass third world immigration into our once civilised countries. And hopefully we’ll ask the question do we want further immigration from these war torn, unholy third world dung heaps. Whether you call them refugees, economic migrants, or whatever.
    And most of us will say no thank you!

      I listened to all Trumps speech in Florida.
      He devoted only a couple of paragraphs to “The Media” relatively early on.
      Yet this is ALL that the media chose to report upon.
      He said lots of things that would relate to what the US people wanted-and it was a great speech in terms of content and scope.
      Yet he gets slated for “still behaving like he`s campaigning”-not feet up behind the Oval Office as Fort Hood gets excused away.
      The BBC are DESPERATE…lying never ending.
      Trump is correct. The Media need nobbling, and he`s just the bloke to do it.

Of course, if they wanted a realistic re-imagining what the BBC would be like after being taken over by the Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, they could have just done a documentary on the BBC as is. That’s a bit unfair. The politics are different but the methods are the same.

      gaxvil, Tony Benn was – above all else – a Parliamentarian.

      As for whether he was a true Lefty, there are rumours that he allegedly indulged in modern Labour-style aggressive tax avoidance, quite legally, but nevertheless employing Miliband-style aggressive tax avoidance in order to enrich his family. Lefties, unlike the people they claim to represent, appear to be very capable of accumulating vast fortunes but also holding on to them.

      Maybe Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson, as well as Ed Miliband, would be capable of speaking more successfully to ‘the people’ if they were rather more like the people they wish to influence and lead.

    Put this on the wrong thread. I wish it was about the BBC licence.

    I would like to live in a parallel universe where the below is a statement from Parliament about the BBC.

    Shame it was Singapore in 2011. The description, including the part about using public funds to finance a private corporation, seems so true. The BBC acts like it is above the public and is a private corporation in so many ways.

    Never mind. Back to reality, misinformation and omission of Trump, Brexit and all things non luvvie. Maybe they can come up with one word so they don’t tire out their fingers. Brump, Trexit or something similar.

    Singapore 2011
    “He told Parliament that the licence fees were losing their relevance. Many users now watch TV and listen to radio on the Internet, bypassing the traditional channels, he also pointed out.

    The licence fees had been justified in the past as necessary to fund public broadcasting programmes made by free-to-air broadcaster Mediacorp as well as other TV programmes supported by the Media Development Authority. The government regulator collected S$132.5 million of licence fees in 2009.

    However, over the years, many users have asked if public funds should be used to prop up programmes made by Mediacorp, a private company. They have also questioned if the amount collected was more than what was needed to fund public programmes.

    It seems the authorities have finally got the point. Under the new measures, those who have already paid up their licence fees would get a refund from the government by April this year.”

    Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the death of George R, one of this site’s most distinguished contributors. I think Alan, to use his real name, would be happy at the turn events in the past year. Brexit would have delighted him. I also think he would have been pleased at the result of the American election.

    For Alan, 9/11 changed the rules of the game. He had not taken any particular interest in Islam before that fateful day. But it had become clear that these guys were serious – they really did want to kill us! Alan took it upon himself to study Islam in depth and came across many disturbing features. It infuriated him to hear Islam described as a peaceful religion. What about the death sentence for apostasy?

    Alan would have been delighted that President Trump is trying to do something about Islamic terrorism. We have a problem, so let’s give it a name. And then try and tackle it. Let’s not shy away from naming the problem, just because it offends certain people. Most importantly, we must never regard Islamic terrorism as part of the weather, as natural like an earthquake, and something we can do nothing about. For all his faults, President Trump looks like someone who would like to kill every last man in Islamic state. Now, that’s what I call tackling terrorism!

    RIP Alan. You were a great prophet.

    Poor Mark seemed a bit flat-any robot can bash Trump as he does and at no cost to we license fee shucks.
    But he cheered up when he went to a hospital ward to see another computer-maybe white, maybe not-but it had a boys face and a shock of black hair…if THAT doesn`t get the BBC boys damp down under then what would.

        Shes quite happy race hustling as the victims to this are generally invisible and it is a difficult thing to prove. However when she sticks her bitter, oversized gob over the parapet and people react negatively towards her (and yes I am sure lots of what is said is pretty unpleasant) suddenly she becomes a sensitive and easily bruised flower – pathetic!

        As for jobs I think she would make a good brick shithouse! As its dense and full of shite!

        Actually maybe not – as a shithouse is actually quite useful.

      Finally got around to watching (most of) the Abbott interview on SKY. As bad as the BBC, if not worse. The interviewer was so reverential she was almost on her knees.

      Where were these compassionate people when Margaret Thatcher and her family were being abused on a regular basis, or Norman Tebbit for that matter? The fact is, MPs of all political parties have always needed thick skins. It’s something they used to understand. Abbott says she’s concerned about being attacked. Well Thatcher and the Tebbits were, but the only people Abbott could speak about were Vaz and (surprise surprise) the Lawrences. The woman is a serial whiner and racist, and everything comes down to race. THAT is why she is so deeply disliked.

      Some of the insults may involve race, but they’re not about race. There’s a big difference. Unfortunately, the MSM’s obsession with race, and black races in particular, means that no deeper analysis is required. Just shout “racist” – it’s a self-contained argument so far as they’re concerned.

      And nearly forgot to mention – her arguments are very poorly constructed for someone who is often described as well educated.

    The BBC’s failure to report news can also be classed as fake news.
    We know that they have singularly failed to report the rioting in Paris by Muslims.
    We know they won’t go anywhere near Sweden where police recruiting is plummeting, the immigrant controlled no-go areas are becoming too numerous to count, rape and violent crime has gone through the roof and anyone who dares speak out about it is hounded through the courts for ‘hate crime’

    Well blow me down here’s the BBC giving Sweden a mention, but not in the context that real news outlets cover.
    Oh No! This is the BBC’s offering:

    “What happened last night, Swedes ask Trump”
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39020962
    What follows is an ex culpa of the first magnitude. The most derisory comment being, “It saw a sharp increase in asylum seekers in 2015, with more than 160,000 people arriving. With the influx, tensions also rose with some isolated attacks on immigrants, as well as pro- and anti-migrant demonstrations.”

    So the only crime increase in Sweden, according to the BBC, is “some isolated attacks on immigrants”
    Real News? No, the BBC in full fake news mode.

    This is not a biased BBC article, just a moan from me about something on bbc2.
    The Lake District: a wild year, should have been an enjoyable view for the hour it was shown yet I found it intensely irritating and annoying because of the constant use of the fast speed playback. Almost every minute the picture would go into a x50 or so fast forward speed which spoiled the whole programme.
    It seemed that the person who edited this must have just been given the fast forward function to play with and done it to death.
    My guess is that some young trendy editor who has no idea of what to do was let loose on it and has subsequently ruined what could have been a very enjoyable watch.
    I’m not bothering to complain though, it’s probably down to fear of Brexit or Trump anyway.

    https://www.nytimes.com/

    And it is not just media organisations – there is a political dimension to it. For example the BBC are not allowed to say “Islamic State” they have to say “so-called Islamic State” and that is by dictate of the British government. So there is a political angle to all this as well.

    Regarding the “Sopel” BBC adventure into “Side comments” that reporters then consider to be “News” on their Twitter sites, I sent the immediate message to BBC News once I was aware of John Sopel’s obviously biased comments, pretending to be “news”:

    Mr Sopel declared “[…] Impartial, free and fair […]”

    May I ask in what way the BBC is “free” to UK citizens? We pay a huge, regressive tax simply to watch live TV, even if we do not watch the BBC.

    This is yet another example of the BBC and their reporters being cavalier with actual facts. It is time it stopped. In fact, it is time the whole BBC organisation was seriously investigated, especially after my attention has also been drawn to out-and-out lies and propaganda about Islam’s “Golden Age” on your supposed “education” pages.

    You are a very serious danger to British society as a whole. You broadcast untrue propaganda intent on undermining Britain and I do seriously wonder who creates and then manages to get these falsehoods published on your website?

    Just maybe not last night. But Trump will lose credibility if he doesn’t fact-check. If he’d just said ‘huge crime surge, rape surge, rioting and social problems’ (all under-reported), he’d have been unassailable.
    Instead of which he’s given the msm enemy the opportunity to pooh-pooh the explosive problems in Sweden.
    In France of course bibistan is presenting the rioting as a legitimate response to the evil racist police.

      As a rough guide I err against an entity that claims transparency but hides behind an all purpose exemption when held to account.

      Have to agree there, Peter. That sort of needless error gives the MSM its excuse to ignore the important issues.

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39020962 (“Sweden to Trump: What happened last night?”)

      I’m pretty sure that article is longer than the one the BBC wrote about the rally itself, which was a masterclass in saying pretty much nothing whilst being able to say they’d reported the rally.

      If anyone was in any doubt where the BBC’s sympathies lie, they need look no further than this line in the article: As British historian Simon Schama, says: “The real Swedish message: 200,000 refugees, no terrorist attacks.”

      A clear endorsement of Mr Schama’s interpretation as to what the real message is.

    The Sunday Times today:
    -Front page about another Trojan Horse plot, this time in Oldham. A head teacher’s position had become untenable and people have threatened to blow up her car.
    -Page four about the extra-judicial killing of British Islamists. There is a judicial review of the decision which will no doubt be dragged out for as long as possible by parasitic lawyers and cost hundreds of thousands of
    pounds.
    -Also on page four how museums are being put on alert for an ISIS bomb in a suitcase.
    Trump is so evil for not wanting any of this!

    Listening to an old, “Archive on Four” R4 Xtra – from when Brown was PM. Well worth a listen. It discussed the declining quality of debate. Rolling news and the internet was blamed for truncated, sound-bite exchanges replacing proper debate.
    You hear Abbott, when she first entered Parliament playing the race card and William Haig doing a great stand-up on the possibility of Blair for EU President (remember that!). Plus some very old Any Questions and Question Times. Point was made that these days solutions to problems are so much more limited and most debate centres around whether you acknowledge that there is, in fact, a problem.

    Can`t resist putting up this post by Daniel Greenfield on his peerless “Sultan Knish” website.
    Many of us here are clearly good writers-and there`s a lot of brains and talent here…but Greenfield on a good day takes some beating.
    This article shows the chasm between the new Overlords like Gates, Zuckerberg, Blair, Soros , O Leary and Gates…and we the plebs who voted out, for Trump.

      Having read Greenfield’s piece I think I’m going to have to dig out my old DVD of Zardoz. As I remember the film, the equivalents of Gates and Soros were living in their sealed bubble while the peasants were outside waiting to break in, and when they did it ended in a massacre. The only bit that doesn’t fit is that I can’t picture either Nigel or Donald in Connery’s red loincloth.

      For those who’ve never seen the film the trailer is here:

    O how the MSM will sneer at this. (if they can be bothered to report it)

    It is a pity that none of our mainstream politicians could not ever be bothered to show an interest in the destruction of these communities of what in effect was the well spring of our own culture.

    I suppose the likes of Merkel, Junker, Timmy Farron, Clegg and Corbin were all too busy popping up in a competitive mischief of splatt rats. Seeing who could show the most concern and be the most vehement in censuring Russia for bombing Isis and demanding we welcome in even more potentially hostile invaders to our own lands, to be bothered about unimportant petty issues such as the wholesale destruction, rape and enslavement of the Yazdis and Christian communities in the Middle East.

    And of course our own world class broadcaster has also been far more interested in our enriching friends to spare much thought for Christians. I suppose being a Christian is pretty uncool whereas wearing a keffiyeh makes you look like Joe Strummer – that is cooooooool!

    It says it all about how establishment loyalties have shifted in that the most concern for the Christian enclaves in the Middle East has been shown by the so called “far right” politicians such as Le Penn and Farage. And the most practical help from the “civilised world” has come from the evil satanic Putin!

    I dont know whether to be sad, depressed or just F#####G angry. I think I will settle for F#####G angry. I will also continue to despise these vain, vacuous dhimmis who so hate their own culture that they are willing to lose it all – for 5 minutes of virtue signalling and a warm feeling in their tummies!

    As I said in an earlier post WANKERS!

      Oak,
      It would be enlightening to find someone with views you’ve detailed above and get from them their ‘rational’ explanation for those views. No sounds-bites, no name calling – just an explanation of how/why they have arrived at their conclusions. Maybe they know something we don’t and see a bright future for us and our grand-kids in the West. If so they really need to communicate!
      I won’t hold my breath.

        Gaxvil – all I can think is that – they all want to be seen as part of the virtuous “in” crowd. It just goes to show that when it comes to making important decisions many people are more influenced by vanity, and social pressure than common sense. Even when that wrong decision may well result in their own destruction.

    Our BBC have been hard at it for weeks, spinning cost effective time-wasting trailers for SS-GB which starts later tonight. Somehow, unless I’ve missed it – which is always possible under mind-numbing repetition – they seem to have missed mentioning that it’s all based on a book by Len Deighton, published nearly 40 years ago in 1978.
    Then again, by keeping shtum they might get away with the impression it’s all a typical topical Brexit-based doomsday scenario…sort of accidentally. What I don’t get is how they’ll manage to weave a childish megalomaniac US President and several ultra-right European politicians into the storyline. Have Ken Loach and Danny Boyle both been in on the re-write?

      The sad thing is that it took Amazon making an adaptation of The Man In The High Castle, to get them to do it. How we can have had a writer as good as Deighton being ignored by the one company with the money to do him justice is a story in itself.

      That’s the sort of programme I would have been very interested to watch until recently. No longer. If the BBC has made it I will not watch it because waiting for the virtue-signalling lefty references, subtle and not so subtle will spoil it for me. Plus the inevitable “hero” who, despite the action being set in the 1940s, holds all the correct 21st century views to contrast with his stupid bosses stuck in the past.

        Well, yes. I agree, so what I’m going to do is record it and if the general view is that it is as bad as you fear (and as I also suspect it will be) then I’ll simply wipe it without watching.

        My hope is that they won’t have had the effrontery to tamper too much with the original. Then again, this is the BBC we’re talking about.

            I suppose the hijab at least shows the wearer had the correct attitude to the Jewish question.
            The hideous whiteness of the national myths has been a cause of concern to the BBC for ages. The earlier series of Robin Hood were great examples of the ahistorical ethnic. Black friars really were friars that were black. There were always Saracens with exceptional knowledge of medicine, explosives etc, putting the backward natives to shame. The only gay in the forest also made an appearance. Spot the incongruent ethic is a great game to play with children so they get what the BBC is all about from an early age.

      Beltane, just don’t bother to watch it!

      It’ll be the usual rubbish from second-rate actors spouting end-of-term-play-like lines, and will be pathetic!

      I’m so happy that I can disregard everything they try and produce, and also extremely angry that I have to pay for the crap.

      I had a discussion with someone I knew vaguely in a pub on Friday evening. I slated the BBC as usual, then discovered much later that he was an ex-BBC journalist. Usually, I worry that I may have upset someone; this time, I punched the air and shouted ‘Yaaaaaah’!

      Great feeling and will do the same very soon, hopefully. Maybe he’ll listen.

    Set out below is the section of the transcript of Trump’s remarks (from the vox.com site) where Sweden is mentioned:

    “Here’s the bottom line. We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening. We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what’s happening in Brussels. You look at what’s happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris. We’ve allowed thousands and thousands of people into our country and there was no way to vet those people. There was no documentation. There was no nothing. So we’re going to keep our country safe.”

    Hardly a specific allegation of a terrorist attack occurring in Sweden or anywhere else last night is it? Frankly I don’t know what he’s saying specifically but generally he’s pointing out what Islamic immigration is doing to Europe. And the MSM has gone ballistic – I wonder why. If this is all they can come up with, I reckon Trump is in the White House for the full 8 years.

      Clearly the bibistan et al think they’ve had the better over Trump on his Sweden reference. No doubt confirmed beeboids will simply sneer, but perhaps some independently minded people will actually do a quick google and find the truth of what’s going on in that once peaceful, prosperous country.
      In which case yet again the msm will have done Trump’s work for him of getting people to think for themselves, disbelieve the msm, and wake up to what’s happening in the world.
