Had the joy of watching some of the BBC’s ‘Doctors’ soap…even here the propaganda runs deep as a quote from the Bible was turned into an opportunity to promote the Koran as well….a character stating ‘I read the Bible, and the Koran, it makes me a better person’…or some such waffle along those lines. I’m sure a working class likely lad would be reading both the Bible and the Koran…but only in the mind of a BBC scriptwriter.
All posts on this open thread must now include copious praise for the Prophet’s blueprint for conquest and colonisation in the interest of celebrating diversity…the open thread is all yours…..
BBC throw a line to remaining Treezer.
‘Brexit should be delayed if no trade deal can be struck with the EU by the end of the two-year negotiating process, business leaders have said.’
You can bet your boots that Treezer will not complete any deal
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39111813
Do the esteemed business leaders know anything about trade?
It would appear not. In the absence of a deal, World Trade Organization rules apply (like most of the rest of the World, eg: America).
Of course, if the EU doesn’t want to sell us anything and maintain our massive trade imbalance with them that would just be too bad. Our esteemed business leaders would have to get off their arses and do some work. JCB aren’t pooping their pants – funny that?
Anyhow if all the Euro car dealerships were closed, we could build houses on the sites using our thousands of foreign builders and even think about building British cars again – I’m old enough to remember we used to do that.
Gaxvil:
The USA, China etc do not trade with the EU on WTO rules, they have specific trade agreements covering individual sectors. They do not have comprehensive free trade agreements however.
At the end of the day, if folks want to sell you their stuff and you want to sell them your stuff etc.
We have a massive trade imbalance with Germany – I would hazard a guess that Germany wishes to maintain that and not jeopardize it?
Trade is a two way thing.
The problem comes with non-tariff barriers. A tariff of 4% is nothing much, not compared to having your goods waiting for days on a lorry whilst French customs officers check everything is in order.
Sounds like you have been listening to John Major? Now get a grip.
And as for hold ups on French ports and French roads – they are so commonplace they hardly deserve mention.
If countries REALLY don’t want buy from us and REALLY don’t want to sell to us. that, I’m afraid is that. We can always send our surplus Polish builders and trainee IS people to sort them out.
I couldn’t give a fig for John Major, but the fact is that in the real world, if we tried to trade purely on WTO rules it would be a major barrier to trade.
Other EU countries may well want to buy and sell from us, but if all our exports are held up at border check points, they won’t be able to. That is why an FTA agreement is vital before we leave the EU.
Well yes, point made but there’s bugger all we can do about it.
We have to have faith in our negotiators.
One would think that both John Major and Tony Blair both have a vested interest in remaining in the EU ?
I wonder what it is ?
I don’t know how many cars Jaguar sell in the EU but I think Mercedes, BMW and Audi combined sell more than that in the UK. I wonder if I should ask “More or Less”? If it comes to a trade war Jaguar will have to put on an extra shift, as will the other UK care plants.
The CBI supported Remain and when the head of the BCC said the that Remain campaign was going beyond the evidence he was sacked.
I think the WTO tariff on cars is 10%. If we leave the EU with no free trade agreement, then the EU will have to treat us as a third country under WTO rules and slap on a 10% tariff. Those are the rules. Mercedes and Audi might not like it, but that won’t matter.
The good thing is that this prospect ought to help motivate the EU (by which I mean Germany) to get an FTA worked out before we leave. It is in everybody’s interests.
‘Brexit should be delayed if no trade deal can be struck with the EU by the end of the two-year negotiating process, business leaders have said.’
So every incentive for the europeans not to do a deal with us then.
I don’t recall voting for any business leaders – do you?
I had to do it. This makes more sense than his speech yesterday.
Exactly.
Mr Rees-Mogg, as always, on top form.
Rees-Mogg the next PM of Great Britain ? – He should be !
Note the ‘professional journalist’ wearing the number 52 shirt in the background at 01:37 onwards. Quality personified.
“Soft-pedalling won’t quash Islamist extremism – Trojan Horse-style plots will continue as long as the government ignores the root of the problem.”
Thus writes the indomitable Melanie Phillips in today’s Times, concluding: “There are other troubling signs that May just doesn’t get it. The inquiry she set up into Sharia courts effectively merely tinkers with marginal improvements rather than addressing the fundamental problem of having a parallel legal system inimical to British values.
The problem is not simply an Islamist Trojan Horse in our schools. It is a presumption of cultural surrender in the British official mind.” More below.
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/comment/soft-pedalling-won-t-quash-islamist-extremism-dgwt6sfjs
Now compare her clear and brave words on the Trojan Horse in Oldham to the slimy supine Al Beebeera’s so-called article: ‘Trojan Horse’ claims at Oldham’s Clarksfield school rejected. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-39027295
First note the use of speech marks, implying it doesn’t even exist, like ‘Father Christmas’.
“Oldham Council said it investigated the claims made in December but concluded, in a report leaked to the Sunday Times, it had “no concerns” about any schools. The report would remain confidential, the council said.” !!! Confidential eh? Wonder why.
I wonder if that’s the same Council who for years turned a blind eye to the Oldham and nearby Rochdale paedophile sex gangs. Let’s look at some of the names on that Council, which btw is solidly Labour and Lib Dems, both of which have an impeccable track record of pandering to Islam and Islamism.
Riaz Ahmad, Shoab Akhtar, Mohon Ali, Montaz Ali Azad, Zahid Chauhan, Fazlul Haque, Aftab Hussain, Fida Hussain, Javid Iqbal, Abdul Jabbar, Abdul Malik, Shaid Mushtaq, Shadab Qumer, Kaiser Rehman, Ali Aqueel Salamat, Ateeque Ur-Rehman…
Notice anything? All good solid Northern names, bah gum!
http://committees.oldham.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?VW=TABLE&PIC=1
So Al Beebeera blithely quotes the report as though it were authoritative or credible, unexamined and unchallenged. Nice investigative journalism, NOT.
Even if those councillors didn’t bias the report (which of course they would have), the nice whitie councillors – who sit with them at meetings and rub shoulders with them daily – would be too darned embarrassed to even go near the truth, and no doubt terrified of the ultimate deterrent: the accusation of racism / islamophobia. In fact, like the nuclear bomb, they don’t even need to use it, just the threat ensures its efficacy.

I AM F**KING FUMING!!!!
VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE … WHY ARE YOU NOT DEAD YET??
Right now she is `debating` peadophilia….. The only way to sort peadophioles out is chemical castration or put them all on an island and leave them there to rot…
A peadophile who has `only` downloaded some pictures etc. apparently according to the Police Child Abuse spokesperson and the BBC is not as bad as actually acting on it.. Bollox!!!
A peadophile who has downloaded pictures and viewed child porn online is just a peadophile who hasn`t had the chance to rape a child…You cannot rehabilitate a Peadophile… They are not like other criminals, they act on a base animalistic instinct and a criminal commits crimes for financial gain or in the case of violent crime in most cases out of character and usually there is a reason unless they are a psychopath in which case they also cannot be rehabilitated… However thier actions can be monitored and with medication etc. kept in a secure facility..
However, a peadophile is different… When they are made to take part in any kind of group based `therapy` with other peadophiles in all likelihood they will simply use it to `network` with other peadophiles, they will also feel some kind of affinity with other peadophiles… They will say anything to convince people they no longer pose a risk but that is bollox… They will offend again and again if they think they can do it they will do it!!
As for the BBC … How dare they ???!!! Thier legal department released a redacted report on child abuse, covering all the names of staff members still for the most part employed by them… They blamed the NHS for allowing Saville to gain access to victims in hospital, neglecting to take resonsibility for thier validation of him and thier shameful enabling of his criminal acts both in the hospitals he visited whilst he was a BBC `Star` … Then they made a disgusting statement along the lines of ..
“Well it was the culture of time!!”
No it wasn`t child rape has never ever been acceptable… Not then not now and not in the future!!!
The BBC are a hive of the most dispicable and depraved morrally corrupt and evil intent…. As for Victoria Derbyshire… I hope she dies a painful death from cancer and I hope that there is an afterlife and that she suffers the same kind of [pain for an eternity…
How does she look at herself in the mirror?? By the looks of her today her battle is far from over…. soon she will have to contemplate her existence and I hope she realises instances such as her `reports` on current affairs where she lied knowingly and willingly when people have died or suffered serious harm to further her own career will mean nothing when she is dead!! She will be forgotten by the BBC after a brief time, once her replacement takes over from her, her fat pension pot will do her no good when she is dead…
We however will always remember her… Just ike we remember all evil people, this includes those who do evil and those who like her enable it… Cover it up, deflect focus to detriment of others and perpetuating the problem in doing so, all for money and status.. F*ck Her!!! and the same goes for all BBC staff members and also those people who accept blood money from the BBC too!!!
I totally concur.
How does she look at herself in the mirror??
She doesn t, the BBC make up guys do that, she s too busy getting her expenses taxi to catch her “flight” to Manchester.
Why would she put her “good life”?, that in any jeopardy?
That’s why … you get reports like that
“I hope she dies a painful death from cancer and I hope that there is an afterlife and that she suffers the same kind of [pain for an eternity…”
Sorry, that crosses a line as far as I’m concerned and is out of order.
I agree with Roland. Yes, I can see Justin you are furious. But we here are above the snowflakes on the Left. Cancer affects all families, and it is not something you wish on anyone, and that includes your enemies.
No-one, however one personally feels, should have cancer wished upon them.
As for VD, her programme does ignite inflammatory feelings, and at times I could have thrown a brick at the screen, but its no worse than The Big Question or Question Time or even the One Show – all of which I refuse to watch; that’s what the Off button is for. Its bad enough in real life having your blood pressure raised by obnoxious people or events, without those on the box doing it to you – and are unaware of it !!
Agreed. It makes this blog look disreputable. Never give ammunition to your enemy. To watch anyone die from cancer is a sobering experience and one which nobody has any right to make comments like this about.
Justin,
Can you replace the word, ‘peadophile’ and its variants with ‘Islam’ and re-submit?
I didn’t see the bBBC programme – I’ve avoided getting a dose of VD ever since she was moved to TV – and appreciate that some people get very worked-up over paedophilia, but surely it is valid to discuss why ever-increasing numbers of men are being imprisoned for thought-crimes?
i double posted somehow… mybad
Yesterday someone pointed to the BBC Crime watch Most wanted page
It maybe a weird coincidence that half te faces are non-white
Yesterday I looked at a BBC news page
The top 3 Featured stories were all incestuous Media people stories
#1 Irish journalist went missing in India 5 years ago
#2 + #3 the Oscars error story
The full list featured 21 faces
8 are white people
9 are black people (inc 2-3 mixed race)

12 were women

Our noble press busy belittling Nigel Farage this morning, inferring that he wants rid of Douglas Carswell because he failed to back the possibility of a knighthood for Nigel. Well, no, although from their point of view such pettiness would ideally suit the narrative.
One: because the closed Establishment ranks would have sat on the idea without the need for any intervention from Carswell – even assuming his opinion had been canvassed in any way.
Two: Carswell has proved to be monumentally disloyal, two-faced, disruptive, deceptive and disingenuous to a degree remarkable even for a defected Conservative, and that is why his services should be dispensed with.
Three: Although many might assume that Carswell’s side-mouthed delivery is the result of an affliction, it provides a graphic window to the man’s psyche and much should have been gained from that insight, long before his defection was welcomed.
The fact is that UKIP has to re-group and re-think both its stance and its structure in order to make any sort of impact on the UK political scene. Personally, I think that without Farage this is unlikely – although there surely must be the ability and intellect among rising stars out there to fulfil the need?
What this situation illustrates is the fundamental weakness of current nationalist groups. Other than Farage, Wilders and Le Pen, who else springs to mind?

BBC News – Libya exposed as an epicentre for migrant child abuse
So Libya is exposed as a child abuse hub, spouts an on the ball BBC
Err Libya BBC?, not child raping illegal immigrants, and smugglers who for your information are intent on getting into Europe?
On goes the Al BBC with its relentless narrative.
“The United Nations has warned that large numbers of children are still risking their lives to make the dangerous journey from Libya to Italy.
Unicef says almost 26,000 children – most of them unaccompanied – crossed the Mediterranean last year”
Children? Bearded 25yr+ ones?? extremely dangerous to our own children those ones,
the ones that Treezer tries to hide behind high screens so we can t see them enter??? … them????
Surprise, surprise there will be no reporting of any child abuse hub from the either Al BBC/CH4/Enemedia or Treezer, once the child rapists get to Europe, or the UK.
WTF is the UN for?
They tell us about bad stuff – WE KNOW ABOUT.

A small selection of yesterday’s bias:
1. Interview on R4 with a woman who is adopting a ‘child’ migrant from Afghanistan that she met in the Jungle camp. She has been contacted by several other ‘children’ who have made the trip from Calais to her home town of Birmingham. No questions whatsoever asked about why they had to come to Britain, whether they should be looked after elsewhere or whether they had any parents, or what their age was.
2. News at ten on TV: John Major on Brexit, local news at ten, how London might not be able to build the thousands of homes it needs if EU workers can’t be employed (Who has said they can’t be???)
3. Leafed through the last three weeks’ issues of Radio Times while visiting a relation who subscribes. Almost every interview with luvvies had a question about Trump/Brexit designed to showcase their worries/fears etc. To be fair to Andrew Marr he gave a fairly neutral answer.
Betcha you won’t be hearing this on the BBC any time soon:
http://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/rev-jules-gomes-myth-militant-muslim-minority-placebo/
The most common argument used to support immigration from Muslim-majority countries is that the vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving and those who support violence in the name of Islam are only a tiny minority. That’s what we are told.
But how small is that minority? That’s what no one is telling us. Finally, after years of fudging, a migration expert has the courage to trash this claim because it lacks a sound empirical basis. Professor Ruud Koopmans debunks the myth of the militant Muslim minority by supplying the numbers. Koopmans is Professor of Sociology and Migration Research at the Humboldt University of Berlin and Director of the Research Unit at the Berlin Social Science Centre.
The myth of the militant Muslim minority is a placebo. It is wishful thinking that gives the multiculturalist utopian an illusion of control. A dose of maths might disillusion our fantasist. One per cent of one billion is 10 million. Five per cent of one billion is 50 million. That’s a conservative estimate of Muslims willing to sanction violence.
Far too long to post here, but it certainly shows the Fascist Left have been lying about a ‘tiny minority’ when it is in fact a very large minority, and the slaughter they can wreak is appalling.
and what percentage of germans were members of NSDAP?
Kaiser.
About 10%
8M out of 80M in 1945.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Membership
Thoughtful,
“…Professor Ruud Koopmans debunks the myth of the militant Muslim minority by supplying the numbers. Koopmans is Professor of Sociology and Migration Research at the Humboldt University of Berlin and Director of the Research Unit at the Berlin Social Science Centre.”
So, I guess that that’s one professor the BBC will avoid interviewing like the plague.
From Panorama last night, a little snippet revealing the bBBC multi culti la la land.
Talking about the Roma in a neighbourhood called Chalvey the reporter Richard Bilton said ‘even the local police offer seemed willing to label an entire community’.
Policeman (speaking very carefully as if treading on eggshells)
‘ the Roma gypsy community…there is a perceived problem with the residents……about the gatherings, the noise, the shouting, the kids and youths running around. Everyone agrees that hanging around in large groups, throughout the days and evenings isn’t normal, especially talking loud, shouting at each other, it’s intimidating’
Bilton ‘but the Roma are not breaking the law……all they’ve got is a different model of integration, they just don’t slot in’
A different model of integration !!!! FFS.
And that, dear readers, is the biased BBC mindset for you. Banged to rights.
Needless to say, these multiculti issues are not actually prevalent in the cozy middle class houses and areas where the Beeboids actually live.
And your last point is critical. MPs, Beeboids and luvvies live in very nice areas and if it goes tits up they can afford to move.
“a different model of integration”
Please bear with me, I want to make sure that I understand this. Is this “different model of integration” the same model of different integration practised by Muslims, or is this a different “different model of integration”?
Then there’s the “perceived problem with the residents” thing. I suppose this means that it is just in the minds of the differently integrating natives?
I thought the Roma just didn’t give a shit, or is this just a different model of shit giving? Is a bucket involved?
Hopelessly confused.
Sluff.
For background information.
I left the Slough area in ’79. White flight from the Chalvey area was well under way due to an overwhelming influx of Asians. If the Roma are causing problems for the local inhabitants then I would say that Englishmen are probably not very affected.
It does provide a reason as to why the bBBC might be showing an interest in the area though.

I did some rucksack travelling around Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Imagine that!
I’d never dream of it now. No way! On my own gadding about Europe.
I wouldn’t even do that in Germany, Italy or France now.
At that time the Germans had a strict control on the borders. Coming back into Austria or Germany from Poland & Hungary, German border police boarded the trains with dogs & guns checking passports. They went through all carriages specifically looking for Roma. They weren’t afraid to say so & I didn’t notice anyone being ‘offended’. Mohammed wouldn’t have stood much of a chance getting through to central Europe that way then. Sadly, I don’t expect it’s like that anymore. I’m glad I was able to experience some of countries of Eastern Europe Between Soviets & Islamists. There was such a narrow window of time available! Who knew it would be spoiled within 3 decades?
I know I could still ‘book’ a Thomas Cooke style holiday in say Prague or Tallinn. But the freedom to grab your backpack & go walkabout no longer exists IMO.
Lucy, rest assured Central Europe (Cz, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary) is still very safe for a single lady. There is no Islamification here. The Czech Police still check border trains, they know who they are looking for. The small number of “refugees” that are taken nearly all head to Germany at the first opportunity.
I agree Sluff, the policeman was very carefully choosing his words, but reading between the lines he was, in effect saying, that the Roma have brought their lifestyle to a country that don’t consider it to be acceptable, but there is sod all we can do about it !
It does rankle that its ‘offensive’ to complain about the unacceptable habits of the migrants, and they get away with them without due caution. This is not a new phenomenon. Many years ago on the East Kent coast, in a genteel area of B & B’s for visitors, there was an influx of Eastern Europeans and their shed load of families; and via the Benefits Office they were housed in these B & B’s much to the horror of local residents. Of course they didn’t work and within a short time this vicinity was a no-go area. During the day the clearly gypsy Roma with their children would sit on the outside walls shouting at each other while the kids ran riot, and as a consequence the area became run-down very quickly, spelling the end forever (forever, being the prime word) of a family friendly (not meaning Eastern European families) part of Thanet.
That copper isn’t long for the force despite his desperate attempts to say nothing raacist.
I would love to see the neighbourhood Richard Bilton lives in and just pray Romanians move in next door.
John Major should be stripped of his knighthood. Whinging, subversive, failure.
Just imagine, if John Major as PM from 1990 to 1997 had been bright enough to recognise that UK businesses would need more workers and instituted a programme of white breeding to replace the dying ‘bulge kids’, those BRITISH employees would be aged about 20 to 27 now. In the prime of life.
Not-so-bright Major should keep his trap shut and remain a failed PM like all the rest.
He was too busy failing to push back at the EUSSR and too keen to take on the ‘Bastards’ who have been proven totally right about the creation of a European state.
You find the lamppost, I can lay my hands on some piano wire stolen from Ed Bollox, who won’t be needing it to play with either.
You mean, too busy poking Edwina Curry.
“John Major is what he is: a man from nowhere, going nowhere, heading for a well-merited obscurity as fast as his mediocre talents can carry him.” Paul Johnson.
Notice how the BBC gave John Major a platform to spout his anti-Brexit nonsense but, unlike Blair’s propaganda page, there was no HYS this time. They obviously didn’t like the almost universal panning that Blair received.
This year’s Oscars appear to have met with the Politburo’s approval so well done Tinseltown.

10 attacks on refugees daily in Germany?:
“The Nazis are threatening refugees and therefore our democracy
“Turmoil has erupted in Germany over Muslim migrants, and now some Germans are adding to the pandemonium by turning on the asylum seekers. All of this is thanks to Merkel’s irresponsible leadership”.
Yep!, Political incompetence, and cowardice in regards to neo liberal cheap labour

Oh look, guess who gets a political free ride again.

Nothing on the BBC about this despite it being 6 days old:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/22/judge-uses-rare-legal-power-dismiss-jury-take-case-jurors-offered/
A judge used a rare legal power to dismiss a jury and take the case on himself after jurors said they were offered bribes outside the courtroom.
Mr Justice Goss made the nearly unprecedented decision during the trial of four men accused of killing an elderly pensioner in an alleged ‘crash for cash’ insurance scam.
Driver Sabbir Hussain, 25, and alleged passengers, Raja Hussain, 30, and Shahrear Islam-Miah, 26, deny manslaughter and a second charge of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation between September 1-11, 2014. A fourth man has already pleaded guilty.
A group of RoPpers who thought it would be OK to behave as they would back in Pakistan and attempt to bribe a Jury, and the BBC doesn’t think it important enough to report ??
They have since all been found guilty as charged.
They should have taken the bribe then found them guilty, thus depriving Isis of another donation.
The real meaning of “enrichment”?
He has a bit of a sideways dig at a guilt trip on Tuckers 4 kids
… UH OH! 😀
The more I see of Tucker Carlson the more I think he is a poor interviewer. Yes he takes a political position which many of us sympathise with, but he could have torn this pretender to pieces which he failed to do, probably because he doesn’t know his subject well enough.
Most people are prepared to accept the climate changes naturally, it is the man made element which is the moot point.
He could & should have asked the following questions:
What is it that man has done which has caused global warming?
The usual answer is the great bugaboo of carbon dioxide and it can be easily swatted away by the vast amounts of CO2 emitted by erupting volcanos.
How much money is given in research grants each year to study man made climate change followed by how much is given for research into the fact that it is not caused by man (none)
Why is it that every scientist who speaks out against man made climate change gets fired ? (this has been how scientific consensus has been achieved).
I would have also raised the issue of the three factors needed to cause an ice age which this guy doesn’t seem to have a clue about, Why sea levels will rise (ice cube analogy}.
The fact that there isn’t really a consensus about man made climate change, just a self selected group which they then have decided are the world authority on the issue, despite many of them, like this guy, having no scientific background in meteorology at all.
So many things he could have talked about
Yes I agree Tucker failed to nail his interviewee on basic Physics. Carbon Dioxide is not specifically a ‘human over-population’ problem (other gases being far more reactive) such as Methane are not discussed (or for that matter any other rocket fuel that keeps Airplanes in the air, cars, heating and machinery (all highly volatile as is oil, Paraffin, Petrol, and Diesel derivatives) – are not the only contributors compared to nature, small increases. CO2 gets the blame for what is a natural phenomenon of any increase in regional variation which is not entirely ‘harmful’ either (even if it was true that Human emissions lead to CO2 increase which cannot be proved due to the obvious fact that ‘natural’ CO2 is far more widespread than man-made emissions has ever been. Example: We are still in an ‘ice-age’ hence the ice at the North and South Poles. They claims that CO2 directly causes ‘melt’ has been disproved in satellite data. The fact that CO2 is widely absorbed by plants is ignored (by UN group) (as does any increase in vegetation that relies on sunlight and CO2 to grow as food). Tucker is darn right that is its a UN ‘exploitative’ target leading to a political ‘taxation’ for established industries to ‘give way’ to third world countries who then are able to claim ‘compensation’ for anything locally weather related. Weather is all change and it changes weekly, annually and by century. What the UN has done is claim that ‘rich’ nations ‘caused the weather’. Leading to ‘changes’ so those (poor people on the river bank) who built their house on sand get occasionally flooded (sea levels do change over time depending on area or even on River, the floods in Somerset were blamed by the BBC on ‘global climate change) but were (proved later) to have been in consequence to an order by the Environment Agency – directed by the EU on how we (UK) regulate our traditional ‘wetlands’. And then the global climate deniers are really those that ignore ‘all other data’ (such as well recorded sun spots that increase solar flares and hence upset our cloud cover’. Tucker could probably have left it at this point. ‘Would the planet get warmer without human activity, and the answer would probably be ‘yes’ – in which case there is nothing we could do to prevent it. Reducing CO2 has always been a bit pointless as a single reference point. None of us could survive without it. Its NOT a toxic gas but has enabled plants to thrive. The socio-political will to ‘reduce’ the world population by using a totally fabricated ‘crisis’ is well documented as being part of UN Agenda 21. Its change but not a crisis. It is entirely political construct designed to raise ‘taxes’ on the back of C02 emissions is entirely man-made.
What possible relavance would the left have in banning the use of ‘Concrete’ (which gives off significant amounts of C02, banning air-travel or the use of C02 to grew crops). It’s a totally absurd notion. And yet was US policy (and still is EU policy to reduce C02), through Agenda 21 make belief that C02 is ‘toxic’ and dangerous. It isn’t.

Oscars 2017: Truth behind ‘Envelopegate’ emerges
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39112851
From the article:
2) It was all down to Trump
2) It was all down to Trump – I presume that’s an attempt at beeboid ‘humour’. Still, they couldn’t resist dragging him onto it, could they?
This is what Trump commented (note the beeb can’t bear to put a capital letter to President, like I can’t bear to capitalise bbc): In his first comments on the Oscars, the president has suggested the awards “were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end”.
“It was a little sad,” he told the right-wing Breitbart website. “It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn’t feel like a very glamorous evening.”
Bet it made his day though, like it made mine.
Sorry. It was my fault. I joked on yesterday’s Oscar HYS on the BBC that it was Trump to blame. They obviously took me seriously.
But Trump can’t trust the CIA. He must have asked Putin to arrange it for him.
Contrast the sympathetic tone of this BBC article about the Oscars bollocks with the ridicule when the Trump Branded Miss World contest winner was wrongly announced.
@RuthAlexander threw the bathwater all over the 2016 Sweden victims of Muslim sex attacks in @bbMoreOrLess
She showed that on Fox filmmaker Ami Horowitz misrepresented her 180° and exaggerated.
But she then failed victims by not stating 2016 stats, thus allowing the narrative “the entire story was fake news”
That brushing under the carpet means there will be more victims in 2017.
Is Ami Horowitz (Fox film maker) any relation of Jordon Horowitz the producer of LaLa Land I wonder ?
She’s just done a new prog
What Happened To Europe’s Migrant Crisis?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04tkft0
You can’t be both an SJW and impartial reporter!
The ‘Migrant Crisis’ dropped of the front pages because the BBC et al were too busy telling us that we were doomed if we voted for Brexit and that Trump was a joke. They were then too busy telling us that ‘no one’ could understand why we voted for Brexit and Trump was a joke. This was followed by telling us that ‘no one’ could understand why Trump was elected and that the views of the ‘48%’ were more important than the majority, who were old, uneducated and lied to.
Who cares if half of Africa and Asia are crossing the seas in leaky boats? (Besides if the BBC doesn’t report it the ignorant majority won’t realise that it is still happening).
After The vile Blair we have had John Major and of course today I have taken my daily dose of Sky’s Boulton Remoaning , then George Osborne popped up and gave me another blast of Project Fear and then on the DP Baroness Wheatcroft gave me an overdose of Remoaning. But I am beginning to realise that they have much in common with many of us who visit this site. They have seen the country take a path that they profoundly disagree with and from which there is no way back. So they do what they can to point out the error and owing to their membership of the elite seek to reverse the decision.
In our modest way we probably felt exactly the same about mass migration and multiculturalism as they do about Brexit. Of course Brexit is slightly different in that it is a democratic decision wereas Mass migration was a covert policy which we were never told about let alone allowed a referendum on. Also as soon as we raised any doubts we were attacked by the liberal elites lickspittel MSM and eventually the liberal elite used the law to intimidate us. Yet the poor Remoaners are protesting that we are a bit too aggressive in defending Brexit, that our language is intemperate, that they have a right to protest , indeed it is their duty to protest. What a pity that they did not extend those rights and duties to us about migration 20 years and more ago. If they had the country would not be cursed with millions of hate filled ROPERS.

Apparently civilisation began in AD610 or thereabouts. Algebra and all that. The Greeks never did much.
Unless of course you work in what passes for the BBC history department, in which case you never refer to the nasty goings on before the oppressive First Crusade, 480 years later.
The beeb are baffled: “Why liberal Dutch are turning to the right – With just over two weeks to go before the Dutch election, anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders is still leading the polls. Why do so many people in this usually liberal country support him?”
Er, cos they read the papers maybe?
Oh, and cos they’re not brainwashed by the beeb in large numbers.

I seem to recall hearing that outside of the big cities, the Netherlands is quite a conservative country, with a Calvinist background and a strong work ethic. Maybe they don’t want invading hordes tramping across the tulip fields and damaging the dykes? (To any BBC readers viewing who may be confused: a dyke is a rural sea defence, not a lesbian).
Cranmer – solid post.

Tunisia beach attack: British families to sue TUI
The parallels that can be drawn between this massacre and the hillsborough tragedy are quite remarkable.
At Hillsborough the police were blamed by the inquiry for what was highly likely to have been caused by drunken football supporters. Here the travel company is now in the cross hairs following this latest inquiry when the root cause is a religion based on a book which instigates the very event that transpired. It’s there for all to see.
The inquiry found the victims were unlawfully killed – no sh!t sherlock. It should be recommending that we don’t go to muslim countries, full stop. Westerners aren’t safe their own countries, why would we want go there?
Dead right seismic.
I imagine now that all travelling football fans must now get an exam and fully accredited course in the cities they`ll be going to for their matches…and pass a course in issues of policing, of historical nastiness of key cities like Liverpool, Manchester and Londons East and South East.
This might prevent all manner of Hillsboroughs, Bradfords and Heysels in the future.
Not only is Tunisia not safe for a holiday, neither is Turkey,parts of France,Germany,Belgium are dodgy too, plenty of other places to go to anyway.
Sky News this week are running a continuing piece regarding cobalt mining in DRC. The usual liberal bleeding heart stuff, child labour, dangerous conditions, hazardous material, US and Chinese corporations to blame blah blah blah. They even got in a dig at Trump for rescinding some law or another.
No mention of course that DRC has been an independent nation since 1960, although it has been through a few names since then including Zaire. Over 2 generations of self rule but as usual bleeding heart liberals continue to blame all Africa’s many problems on outside influence, because to lay the blame at the feet of the Africans themselves would be like, you know racist?
The liberal world view is in itself racist. It says that Africans are not responsible for their own fate, they have no agency and they are perpetual victims of (white) colonialism.
OT, but Sky provides the news to the local station we listen to out of wifi range. And it is as pants as anything Classic FM Global ever managed.
They seem quite excited by this Tunisian atrocity coroner finding, but are flailing around the vox pop route getting a lot of heat and missing some sensible light exposure.
The persons responsible were/are the terrorist loons that infest the world, aided by incompetence perhaps but unlikely to be abetted by the local authorities, who seem to have coped as well as any French, German, Belgian, Swedish or British bunch of PC navel gazers.
The sole aim now is gunning for compo from the tour operators, but this opens a pandora’s box of unintended consequences, with a bunch of other entities, from governments to media as complicit.
It was an avoidable tragedy, but SKY seems wilfully obtuse in trying to drive ratings rather than sensibly look at the facts.

It apears that the “sniper” discharged one round which went through his foot, and continued on to hit the two poor devils who were going about their duties.
Lucky nobody was killed.
It sounds crazy, but I actually believe it was an accident this time.
It was in full view of too many witnesses, I think.

Singapore is not high on the BBC ‘nice’ list, so why their PM gives them a sniping opportunity intrigues.
Looking at the transcript however, it seems it has been appreciated that the world class broadcaster has some low performing market rates as their figureheads, who can serve as useful idiots to boost the ratings with voters at home.
Sack of Steve joins Tubbo and Soapy as state media embarrassments to the nation.
I wonder if he found time to ask about Singapore’s world leading NHS and if it had any lessons for our crumbling edifice.
Indeed it could make a wonderful topic for a Panorama.
Oh. No. Wait. That cannot happen because it will call the whole thing into question in the UK and as the BBC assistant political editor (how he must hate that title!) said the other other day the NHS plays well for Labour.

I actually look forward to more self indulgent ‘issue based’ movies in the Oscars. The more tedious, politically biased polemics featuring transgender BAMEs the better. I also welcome as many whining libleft anti-Trump acceptance speeches as possible.
They are digging their own graves. The best bit is that they are far too conceited to realise this.
It’s not often I post something from the LSE especially given its tendency to veer to the hard left, however this shocking report is different and well worth a read.

Democratic Audit is based at the London School of Economics, in the Public Policy Group. It is staffed by two full-time Managing Editors who edit the DA blog, manage our social media output, organise and plan DA events, and deal with public liaison, public affairs, research commissioning and the day to day management of the Audit.
DA is co-directed by Professor Patrick Dunleavy and Dr Jonathan Hopkin, both of the LSE Government Department. It is overseen by a Board of Trustees, Chaired by Simon Burall.
Here is the latest report:
http://www.democraticaudit.com/2017/02/27/politicians-havent-been-honest-with-the-public-about-immigration-they-still-arent/
The populist surge that helped propel Brexit isn’t going to help the UK take control of its borders, writes Tim Bale. Neither Labour nor the Conservatives have been honest with voters about immigration policy, and that shows little signs of changing after a hard Brexit. The gap between rhetoric and reality has given politicians the opportunity to indulge in populist promises. People sense they are not being told the whole truth – but do they want to hear it?
Far too many words to copy & paste here, but the conclusion is that unless the politicians start taking this seriously then we will lose the NHS, benefits, pensions, etc etc.
The comments do not seem to quite agree with the authors view in several areas!
Not BBC bias, but I wonder what other people do about the farrons in the bottom of their tea bag jars? Normally I don’t notice them until all the good stuff has gone. Usually I just ignore the farrons even then, until they irritate too much, then I tip them in the composting bin.
In a (deliberately?) confused article the BBC indulges itself with a little light smearing of the Royal family – in particular the Queen Mother – in a report concerning the inquiry into thw sufferings of British children sent to Australia after WW2. The present Queen herself receives a few splashes of mud as the BBC’s report mentions “the Queen” being satisfied with a message from the then eminently respectable organisation (the Fairbridge Society) running a part of this operation – although the article does say that the “Queen” concerned was not the present Queen.
Apparently the Queen Mother (then the Queen since George VI was still alive at the time) either directly or through a Lady in Waiting asked after a girl who, as it happened, was being cruelly abused by her carers in Australia. Buckingham Palace was fobbed off by the Fairbridge Society and the Lady in Waiting wrote – in the de haut en bas style of that era – that the Queen was happy that the child in question had settled down well. Understandably the victim is still angry with the Royal family for allowing itself to be fooled by the Fairbridge Society and, also, sending what (were it sent today) a seemingly patronising letter after which all further interest in the child was dropped.
Briefly, this is an admittedly nasty part of history – British and Australian history – and as much amends as possible should be made to the victims (if only by the publicising of what occurred). However, I guess that all or most of the villains are now dead although some of the institutions which innocently or otherwise were involved are still in existence. The BBC in its eternal quest to damn this country and its history has, in this case, been able to alight on the monarchy to denounce or even blame – partially at any rate – for the misery and cruelties being investigated.
I would pay more attention to the BBC’s coverage of this story if they were able to give details of their programmes exposing this scandal at the time. If the BBC’s journalists, when reporting on children being sent to Australia, accepted the Fairbridge Society’s account of its activities they have no basis to criticise anyone else who did the same. BBC double standard yet again.
Just for the sake of interest, because of the misuse of the word, and because generally people have not been taught and have no clue or insight into what Fascism is actually all about.
Here is the original 1919 manifesto:
Universal suffrage with a lowered voting age to 18 years, and voting and electoral office eligibility for all age 25 and up;
Proportional representation on a regional basis;
Voting for women (which was then opposed by most other European nations);
Representation at government level of newly created national councils by economic sector;
The abolition of the Italian Senate (at the time, the Senate, as the upper house of parliament, was by process elected by the wealthier citizens, but were in reality direct appointments by the king. It has been described as a sort of extended council of the crown);
The formation of a national council of experts for labor, for industry, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made of professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a general commission with ministerial powers.
In labor and social policy, the Manifesto calls for:
The quick enactment of a law of the state that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers;
A minimum wage;
The participation of workers’ representatives in the functions of industry commissions;
To show the same confidence in the labor unions (that prove to be technically and morally worthy) as is given to industry executives or public servants;
Reorganization of the railways and the transport sector;
Revision of the draft law on invalidity insurance;
Reduction of the retirement age from 65 to 55.
In military affairs, the Manifesto advocates:
Creation of a short-service national militia with specifically defensive responsibilities;
Armaments factories are to be nationalized;
A peaceful but competitive foreign policy.
In finance, the Manifesto advocates:
A strong progressive tax on capital (envisaging a “partial expropriation” of concentrated wealth);
The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor;
Revision of all contracts for military provisions;
The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein.
Compare those commitments with todays Political Parties, and which one comes the closest to this particular manifesto?
Manchester Airport has been closed due to a ‘fire’ in a tunnel underneath the runways, early reports of a van catching fire, but witnesses talk of a “massive explosion” could this be another RoPper looking for alans snack bar?
Ugh, just watched on iPlayer the BBC documentary on the House of Lords, wish I hadn’t now.
The bias was in full flood as usual. The central figure followed was so predictable, a young black female Labour peer who, putting politics aside, came across as ‘reasonable’ with a soft-left agenda to change the cruel (Tory) government’s bill to deny benefits for adopted children. Countering that for political ‘equality’, the second Lord they followed was a middle-aged (white) Conservative peer who was a property developer…..scum, hate, splutter! outrage!
The aim of the producers as to who the viewers were to approve of was stark, so much for even-handedness!
Al Beebeera gleefully reports that the French want Obama as their President.
I think that’s an excellent idea: a Muslim President would send out a bold message of inclusion to the world, perhaps he could be awarded a second Nobel Peace Prize.
Additionally it would free up Marine to be our next Prime Minister.
To close the triangle, Farage could be sent to the US as our Ambassador.
Everyone happy, win-win.

When I was a young lad, watching the BBC News in the fifties, there were several sincere newsreaders like Robert Dougal and Kenneth Kendall, and you liked, and were able to understand, the gentle but intelligent delivery, as well as believing it all, or at least most of it.
Much of this was down to being able to understand the facts, and never the opinions or views of reporters.
The ideas on delivering news programmes changed with the new early evening formats with people like Cliff Michelmore, and this was seen as a more friendly approach to news, as well as being informative. There might also be a little light banter as well. Opinions were rare, but witty, and also unbiased.
The whole news delivery has turned 180 degrees now, with opinions being at the forefront, and facts rarely offered, and it is this sort of trashy, shallow information which is being fed to a dumbed-down audience many of whom only want to know more about celebs’ bums and cakes, than why their country is actually going down the pan as far as national identity is concerned. Beeb news is more about disrespect, and ‘rights’ whatever they are.
The BBC has a lot to answer for now. They started the rot by letting reporters’ egos become expanded to suit the agenda of manic liberal/left politics, which wasn’t helped by the Wilson years, and now as we are discovering, the bad times under Callaghan and Heath – especially Heath.
