    Nigel is usually pretty good at predicting EU events.
    “What happened in 2016 is the beginning of a great global revolution,” he said, before predicting a similar situation to the Brexit decision arising in the Netherlands, France and Germany.”

    TBQ – As usual in such debates the defenders of what’s left of western civilisation are unconvincing, lacking knowledge or courage, usually both, overly eager to meet the invaders half way, desperate not to seem islamophobic or racist. (With a few outstanding exceptions like Douglas Murray)

    I’m reminded of Yeats’ The Second Coming:

    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    (And it ends badly)
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    Haven’t watched Call The Midwife since it became all diverse, namely after the series had exhausted the original book, but I thought I’d quickly skip through tonight’s episode after I’d seen the post above.

    Take a look at approx 14.45 the acting is absolutely abysmal, its almost as if the actors/actresses can’t believe the sh1t they’re being asked to portray. The program content is shocking. Remembering that this is well before the watershed the subject will raise a lot of awkward questions of parents, not to mention the absolute lie (fake history) that the early 60’s was as diverse as this propaganda suggests.

    A bunch of actors that have never done a real day’s work in their life promoted by another bunch of actors who all come from the the same stable that think they are politicians.

    Horrific scenes from Paris and Nantes today on RT.
    Le Pen barely able to get through to her party rally and so called “students”( think Islam calls them “Taliban”) setting fire to Paris for the sixteenth day in a row. Fillon says that Hollande is letting his goons on the Far Left do this, and he certainly is broken backed and unable to do anything.
    So where the hell is the BBC then?
    Er-bloody Trump not showing up to the Press Corps pig out in late April, and will Meryl Streep wear Gucci whilst reprising her Trump trash live on air?
    Can`t wait…none of that sleep business eh?
    The BBC are way beyond belief.
    Since when did France turn into Beirut or Managua?
    And why no peep from the fetid BBC?
    And how long before these “students”(have you SEEN then?) start to take American hostages and pretend to be Iran again?

    It would appear that the attack with the pick up truck on mardi gras party goes in New Orleans by a man called Neilson Rizzuto is not all the press / police are presenting it as.

    Yet again we find his facebook page blocked, but I am told by people who can access the cached pages that Rizzuto is another convert to the RoP.

    Not that anyone is telling you that of course, and they probably won’t what with the President likely to be proved right yet again.

If the latter I guess I’ll just sit in my house, in my country, while she presides over and facilitates this, once great, nation’s dissolution at the hand of immigrants bolstered by a sick and twisted mainstream media.

    Farewell Gerald Kaufman then. Useless poltroon and fop who will surely be exposed as something a bit offish very soon.
    But sod that-come on UKIP-another chance to get it right.
    Hoping that they`ll start to keep a health check on the Remoaners and Remainiacs and try to shout “boo” in the letter boxes to get them gone.
    I say this because UKIP will only win when they WANT to as much as the Lefties seek power and seats in Westminger.
    Come on UKIP-LOOK and ACT like you`re the Nasty Party that Trump would approve of.
    Or else banks will pull the plug and you`ll end us a kitty litter for Anna Soubry.
    Cox is gone-Kaufman gives us another chance to run a candidate-only one who has
    a) paid his subs
    b) not hit anybody
    c) not given a nazi salute on twitter
    d) not made up crap about his life story and left it up online for five years
    e) put his papers in
    f) lives in a place where a creep like Crick gets a battering if he sniffs around the littler bin nearby.
    Not too much to ask is it?
    Kaufmans death has given us a lifeline
    a) Get rid of the BBC
    b) Brexit NOW-and as hard as possible
    c) Get rid of Bercow
    d) Get Vaz up on trial
    e) Check Heseltine is going to pay his death duties
    f) Grammar schools in every town
    g) Sod Jo Cox day-but a day off for Nigels Independence Day!
    This is the manifesto-keep it simple and viscious so the BBC HATE you-then you`ll storm it!
    Sod off Gerald-keep a crypt warm for Corbyn and Skinner-and let UKIP sort the mess.

    Self-regulating BBC to investigate it’s own Capita attack dogs…
    With no sense of irony, the BBC has announced it is to investigate Capita, the company employed to collect the Television Poll Tax (aka ‘the Licence fee’). Regular readers will not be surprised to hear that Capita – widely known as ‘Crapita’ in the services industry – has been accused of being somewhat aggressive in its tactics.
    But there is a very curious detail in the BBC’s own report of this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39100048). On not one, but two occasions, it states “The maximum penalty for watching BBC channels or iPlayer without a licence is £1,000”. Now, that’s not right is it? The TV Licencing website states that the poll tax is payable if any live television (or iPlayer) is watched i.e. even if you just watch, say ITV or Sky and never look at the BBC filth, you’ve still got to stump up. Something smells decidedly fishy…

      Isn’t BBC funding confusing? The government’s response to the petition calling for the licence fee to be scrapped said the LF is paid in order to watch real-time broadcasts not to fund the BBC. If that is the case, why the close BBC involvement in the collection of the LF and the company providing the muscle to carry out the extortion?

      • Ian Rushlow says:

        The devil is in the detail. A close examination of the changes to the regulations made last year may well suggest that the so-called ‘licence fee’ is actually exclusively for the funding of the BBC and is not required for watching other broadcasters. This is explicitly stated to be the case for the use of iPlayer, as other catch-up and streaming services do not require a licence, and by implication may have relevance to regular broadcasting. The opinion of a legal expert and a challenge in the courts would be very welcome.

    Chaos Farce Fiasco

    No, not our BBC reporters’ shared take on the first month of the Trump Presidency – this was the much vaunted Oscars show.

    Ha Ha Land seems to have been the winner once the dust settled. No, really it was the one about ‘the young gay black man growing up in Miami’ – I’ll make a point of missing that. Our BBC red carpet/red sofa jockeys were doing their bestest this morning to ‘run defense’ (as the Americans might say) some tosh about opening the wrong envelope. No longer the golden envelope chaps – in these diverse days it has to be the pink/black/brown one.

    I guess it’s just as well the luvvies don’t have their fingers on the nuclear button or the airport security vetting – oh wait, I think the BBC thinks that’s exactly the job they should have judging by our BBC London’s Asad Ahmad approving take on the Trafalga Square Iranian themed anti-Oscars staged yesterday.

      BBC Today programme, just before the weather at 0657 this morning: a “news” item that was designed to achieve two things – 1. continuing to mock Pres. Trump for his reference to Sweden and 2. to reinforce all similar previous broadcasts on this subject in convincing the listener that things are quite normal in Sweden – there are no rapes, no rioting, no crime almost. The added joke line is that any issues are really down to, wait for it, “socio-economic” factors. There, you have it in a nutshell brought to you via some patsy so-called, “Professor” from some uni in Sweden declaring that although migrants have now reached 17% of the population (and still rising), there is no connection.
      Take it from me, all the following are ‘fake news’……..Take your pick.

        G – and it was the throw-away comment from the Beeboid that lets the cat out of the bag regarding ‘fake news’ at the BBC, when she slid in a comment along the lines of ‘the event in Sweden talked about by Mr Trump that never took place’. Now, the BBC and all of its alt-left commentators know full well that this is untrue, but they still keep bringing it up. Of course, when Mr Obama or Ms Clinton did that, then they had ‘mis-spoken’, and their original comment was never raised again by the BBC. Different treatment for an ‘enemy of the BBC’.

        For the BBC, it would appear that, if they keep saying something often enough, then it will become true…so they cannot therefore be guilty of spreading ‘fake news’.

    According to a beebblurb, Start the Week R4 is going to be mulling over how contrary to universal love walls, fences and other impedimenta are. While Trump’s wall is just talk at the momemt, the powers that be in Thuringia constructed 5 km of anti-lorry barriers for Sunday’s Fasching jollities. A bit of a volte-face when the usual suspects in Germany were claiming for months that walls were counterproductive or ineffective in the 21st century.

    It got even better. Whilst still defending the embarrassing gaffe at the oscars, on This Morning, we were sent over to Hollywood for a live scoop from our gallant Beeb reporter.
    Whilst interviewing some black actor from the pc correct winning movie, Naomi Harris came sweeping past. Realising that somebody the audience back home actually recognises would be a better catch the ignorant reporter abandoned the interview and called out “Naomi,”. Expecting her to stop in her tracks he watched as she drifted past. Anyway as he continued with the interview the ignorant bastard kept looking out for her in the belief she would come scuttling back. No such luck. Again he called out “Naomi, Naomi, its the BBC live” hoping this would bring her back. His expression was priceless as she disappeared into the distance.

      Wasn’t it last years Oscars where the BBC were shouting out that the Oscars is racist as there were no black actors. Now this year those behind the scenes have made sure the 2 supporting actor/actress awards were black – surely that is even more racist, in the eyes of the BBC, as that shows the blacks are always 2nd place to white skin people?!?

      First thing I heard waking up to BBC Radio 4 was “…the first Muslim actor has won an Oscar…”. Classic BBC where the religion is important to ram down our throats when its a positive RoPer story but that same religion never gets a mention if its behind terrorism, riots, rape etc.

        LaLa Land is one of those things that certain people spontaneously select as “cool” for no substantial reason. Lasts about five minutes. A bit like those books that come along from time to time – cool to be seen reading, and discussing in a vapid sort of way at dinner parties. I don’t generally like to bring class into everything, but this is definitely a middle class thing.

        Harmless I suppose but, as I said, vapid, and philistine. Many years ago I went out with a lady who announced that she only read “the classics”. Maybe it was the way she said it but I thought at the time that it sounded pretentious, and perhaps it was, but maybe she had a point. Not very different from my own taste in music, if I’m honest, although preferring classical music impresses nobody in the UK, middle class or otherwise.

The English Civil War would be an excellent backdrop for the “we are divided by politics, brother has fought brother, and we need healing” whining and snivelling being pushed by the BBC.

      I remember the days when Oscar was so much more refined – and glamorous. No posturing where the dress became more important than the event, and certainly no playground hugs on the stage by everyone involved. Like you (and, I suspect most of the world population watching) I have no idea who they are !!!
      The interviewing was more sophisticated, unlike now where like fish wives shrieking in the street the reporters thinking yelling out a name will get them a quote. Just like those in front of No.10 – embarrassing and cringeworthy.

Film stars’ families have always had a strong tendency to be broken, dysfunctional, have criminal connections, or have just been downright twisted. I’m thinking of Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra etc. And I wouldn’t have wanted my daughter to date Charlie Chaplin. Still, at least they didn’t lecture their fans.

        We need to keep a sense of proportion with celebrities. Satire used to help but it seems to have more or less disappeared.

          Luckily, we missed all the Oscar thing, as a) we hardly ever go to the pictures, except to see a film recommended by at least three friends, and b) because we know just about nobody who might qualify for a prize, or whatever they get.

          I’m sure President Trump was doing some hard work on keeping the US safe, and not bothering with the thing either, so we have more in common with him than some third-rate actress!

    Think we`re building a “Ten Biggest Cockups” live on TV kinda thing for Stuart Maconie and Katie Pukrick to talk about now.
    And-great though last nights events will turn out to be-there`s not quite the moment and jaw-dropping pants wetting aspect that-I`m sure you`ll agree-only history and distance provides.
    So-can I nominate Madonnas Garrotting at the Brits a few years back? Why so?
    Because we all saw it live-but Ant and Dec certainly didn`t. Because the whole incident got NO mention until we on the internet rechecked and saw that-yes-we had NOT been dreaming, But Ant and Dec, all those edgy brave rebels shafting the Royals etc?…well, no who the HELL is going to risk their career by being the first to mention it. Like a fart in a spacesuit-but no smell here, looks a bit misty on the visor I grant you though!
    Live TV-online-and THEN the likes of Frankie Boyle find their courage. Fuck em.
    AS for Fleetwood and Fox at the Brits in 1989?
    Well….means little now, it was a simpler age-but I`ve got an hour to run so it may take some time seeing as its “archive iconic status now”…like PJ Proby splitting his trousers in Wolverhampton in 1965.

        Stew, Chris

        I have been sitting on this for a while. But the US forces have 15,500 transgenders and their needs are being cared for. In the very near future TGs will be openly recruited. The idea is to repeat what the US forces did for Gays. Sort of progressive like.

        MILITARY MEDICINE, 181, 3:193, 2016
        Ethics and Transgender Service Members,
        Dependents, and Retirees
        Edmund Howe, MD, JD

        INTRODUCTION
        It is estimated that the military currently has approximately
        15,500 transgender service members.1 It has indicated it will
        soon be accepting openly transgendered members, as it
        accepted homosexual members a few years ago. This policy
        change will pose new ethical challenges for service members,
        military families, clinicians, and policy makers.
        This column will discuss several of these ethical challenges
        —————–

            The source is impeccable. This is not BBC journalism, it is an official US military source, and it bothers me.

            From the concluding section

            POLICY CHALLENGES
            As the military changes its policies and accepts transgendered
            members, numerous specific practices will have to be
            considered. These include how and with whom these members
            should shower, which bathrooms they can use, their requirements
            for physical training tests, and whether they should
            have time off for sex change medical procedures.
            Ultimately, for transgender persons to be accepted and
            function as productive service members it will be vital that
            they be accepted for their skills and abilities, not their gender.
            The military has unique capacities to set the highest moral
            standards for its members—as well as for the rest of our society.
            The equality the military has achieved for members of different
            races and ethnicities is an example of that. The military
            can and should achieve this too for all transgendered persons.

            My understanding is that hormones in the water supply are far more effective in soft water areas such as Thames water area, than in hard water areas such as Yorkshire water area. So if you can find any studies showing transgender and homosexuality is far more common in soft water areas. That would explain why we Yorkshire folk are far more normal than southerners.

          Context : 15,500 transgenders 1.46 Million
          “There are a total of 1.46 Million active personnel in the US military”
          15.5 in 1,460 that’s 1% transgender
          That’s pretty high considering there are only 3% gays in general population and transgender is a fraction of that.

    Pedant alert! Just to prove that you can’t believe everything you see on the BBC I’ve had two ‘Routemaster’ moments whilst watching SS-GB which I’ve decided to continue with despite the abysmal sound quality.

    Last week they had a Spitfire IX parked up on The Mall in November 1941 (the Mark IX entered RAF service in June 1942) and in Part 2 one scene took place in a Hardened Aircraft Shelter which probably would have been built in the 1980s. It will be interesting to see how they can mess up the next one.

    And THESE are the people who want to man the borders. to decide on who comes and who doesn`t?

      The relentless anti-Brexit narrative from the BBC, Sky and others is a scandal, as we all know. It’s a sad observation for me to make on this that you can be sure that even after we have left the EU they will still not let go; their campaigning will continue. Everything that goes wrong after that will be put down to the claim that we cannot manage on our own and Brexit is thus being proved a disaster.

    Maybe there was a genuine mix-up at the Academy awards, I think there probably was. However, the sudden explosion of BAME actors and films being nominated, and winning, shows just how much pressure the lib-elites are able to bring to bear upon the Academy.
    And so, to the bBBC Breakfast Sofa this morning 08:39. The generous and even handed bBBC have good words to say about Broadchurch, an ITV who-dunnit drama. They wheel on an actress to gush about it and her delight to appear in it. The conversation moves yawningly and predictably to the Academy mix-up. The actress, Julie Hesmondhalgh (who? I hear you ask) says she heard Canadian-American singer Rufus Wankwright on radio this morning, and he had said ‘Aaaah, I wish this is what would happen at the election’, she thought it was a brilliant comment…cue laughs and sniggers around the sofa…how fucking hilarious. Another dig at Mr Trumps presidency smuggled in under the cloak of entertainment. Oh, by the way, Julie Hesmondhalgh just happens to be a Labour Party member and campaigner for our Jeremy Corbyn to be leader, this is not mentioned by our impartial bBBC, of course.

    I watched an old recorded film last night. The acting was pretty pathetic but the story line/plot intrigued me. It was described as a 1980’s horror and called, ‘They Live’. I had not seen it before but I endured to the bitter end following which, I pondered upon what I had just watched. I occurred to me that the solution to our current distinguishable almost dichotomy of views on World events could be solved if, indeed, there was such a simple solution as portrayed in the film.
    We see or hear the leftie/liberal multiculti people daily spouting their incomprehensible bile and lies yet to all intents and purposes, they actually look, well, a bit like thee and I: ‘normal’ but clearly and logically, they aren’t. In fact, they are carrying some form of disease the symptoms of which are only exposed through their actions or speech. In the film, the lead actor’s vision is changed by simply donning a pair of special sunglasses. That act transformed the world viewed by exposing the fact that many of the people were hostile aliens who had been here for a long while. It was impossible to distinguish them without these sunglasses……

    I’m just logging in to ebay to see if I can get a pair.

      If you don’t find the specs on ebay, just assume that anyone on the BBC is an alien, and anyone totally excluded (eg Mark Steyn, Pat Condell) is a real life Ellen Ripley. You won’t go far wrong.

    So, Emir Khan stages his little anti-Trump protest by showing some Iranian B movie in Trafalgar Square (I wonder who’s footing the bill?).

    A few useless Slebs come and virtue signal for all they’re worth (not much).

    The oh-so PC, metropolitan, metrosexual, metrocultural London Evening Standard are drooling all over it, natch, but here’s the interesting thing: In the ‘comments’ under the article, readers are far from cooing approvingly, in fact they sound like contributors to biasedbbc!! What’s going on? Is the worm turning? A selection below.

    – Did not realise that so many stupid people could be in one place at the same time.
    – Now Brits are calling Americans racist coz of wanting to screen out terrorists.
    – Labour’s stunted stooge showing London’s solidarity with muslims and Iran, a country that hangs gays, flogs and stones women, and is run by religious headbangers.
    Khan, the arrogant little gnome, must think he is our new Foreign Secretary.
    – These virtue signalling little protests against a democratically elected President IN ANOTHER COUNTRY are beginning to look childish. Yeah we get it, everyone you don’t like is Hitler, anyone who voted Brexit is a xenophobe racist homophobe Islamophobe, and how dare they disagree with you! GROW UP.
    – This man is a joke, along with all his ‘celebrity’ mates. The office he holds should be banned. He can then go back to his fun job of ‘so called’ human rights lawyer.
    – were was this lot then Obama was Deporting More People Than Any Other President
    – fake news
    – Junketing in Davos one day, lecturing Scots the next… now indulging in fatuous ‘gesture politics’….. too bad he never seems particularly busy, or interested in, doing the job he was elected to do.
    – The TRAVEL ban, which is in suspension, is not a ban on a particular group or religion (…) The persistent view that it’s discrimination against certain groups indicates that people, like the good people here, are reacting emotionally, but not paying attention. And that inattention, combined with a tendency to see other cultures through one prism, is the greatest danger of all.
    – A few hundred folk turned out to watch a free movie and feel better about themselves. Trump must be devastated.
    – There are far more pressing issues in the world than complaining about the president of an allied nation who we didn’t elect. If that’s your aim, start with Mugabe.

                Shelly,

                Are you seriously telling me that , in Poplar, muslims prevent non-muslims from coming out of their houses after 9 pm ? And the police do nothing ?

                  Its more a question of outsiders being there after 9.00 (there are very few non Muslims living in that area now)
                  A Woman had a minor prang in her car with a Muslim man near Wapping High Street, and within minutes things turned ugly and a large crowd of Muslim men were on the scene, surrounding the woman in question, my Husband’s mate, whose sister runs a local pub (one of the few left in the area for obvious reasons), came out and ushered her inside.
                  When the Police arrived, one of the “Men” stated to the copper “We’ve told you, after nine O’clock no non Muslims” And the Policemen left.
                  The Publican was so shocked that she didn’t take the Police officers badge number, so it was basically brushed under the carpet.
                  She should have reported it as a hate crime, but this is happening all the time.
                  No one believes it, because it really is unbelievable.

                    shelly,

                    I am really shocked by this and it takes a lot to shock me. I have lived in Turkey, Malaysia and in Gambia. I have travelled in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. And I am not talking 5-star Bob Geldof style. How can this be happening in the UK ?

                      I suppose its a gradual process that’s crept up on us. There are well documented examples of this sort of behaviour but everyone just shrugs their shoulders, because the establishment just don’t want to know.
                      As we are basically a law abiding society, and law doesn’t seem to care, most people have just given up.
                      Its profoundly depressing really.

                    I moved from “Greater” Southeast London about 4 years ago. I escaped to the other side of the M25. I still go back to my old town for work & I can tell you it has changed visibly. It’s looking more like Brixton lately. 20 years ago there were no headbags & it was a very English town. Far too much cultural enrichment now.

                Yes there is. Spain and S Europe did it. As time passes, it becomes harder but not impossible.

                    IMO, there was a short-lived sign of things to come when the EDL sprung up quite spontaneously in Luton as a reaction against the disgusting behaviour of the invaders. As usual, it was (mainly) working class youth that was prepared to do the heavy lifting. Middle class people looked down on them with disdain, like they always do until a threat becomes critical. The EDL’s reaction might have been crude, but it was heartfelt and direct. It was relentlessly supressed, as I’m sure many here will recall.

                    Before I actually started commenting here, I recall someone called hippypooter (or something) displaying a similar snotty reaction.

                    I suspect that many squaddies remember only too well that the EDL effectively sprung up in their defence.

          Trying to get anywhere even at the weekends is useless, the pollution caused by the unused bike lanes, which mean cars are crammed into ever smaller spaces, to say nothing of the traffic problems, are enough to make you tear your hair out.
          Still never mind here’s a crap film for you to virtue signal over.

          Thought Labour and the Greens deliberately set out to force us into diesel cars. Was not the science settled when Gordon Brown and the EU gave diesel the blessing?

            Diesel engines are more fuel efficient. The switch to diesel cars means less fuel sold, less fuel tax paid and less VAT collectted on the fuel tax. Government revenue from car drivers has fallen so now we have to be forced back to petrol. Particulates are suddenly more evil than CO2 – coming to a BBC propaganda channel all day and every day.

    bBBC web site headline “Labour MP Gerald Kaufman dies at 86”.
    No mention anywhere of a resulting new by-election, the rest of the news media do mention it.
    I wonder what the bBBC is up to?

      … and have you seen the typesize of the banner headline on their news page? Quite apart from the BBC’s bias, they are becoming like the Daily Star now. All part of the same agenda of course. The dumbing down is designed to create an audience incapable of critical thought.

        The problem is that Beeboids are so dumbed down they are incapable of critical thought.
