MID WEEK OPEN THREAD.

Hi all. I’ve been away for a few days so apologies this is late. For my sins, I watched a little of BBC World News. It is arguably even worse than what we endure in the UK!!!

    I don’t watch QT any more as it is just a left wing minority view platform. I have just been flitting about the TV channels with the remote and returned to bbbc1 and on each occasion they have been criticising or laughing at UKIP, no doubt with the usual waycist and other derogatory comments.

    So, no change in strategy at the bbbc then.

    Will some one in authority close the bbbc down, pleeeeeease?

      Do not worry, with the ascent of social media, this site being a prime example, we can look forward to much more slippage down the scale of the hitherto dominating leftist force fed fodder, (propaganda by any other name), the likes of the BBC even has the neck to force us to pay for.
      The EU elections outcome really has shocked the establishment.
      It now means we are already a couple of rungs up the common-sense and ‘freedom’ ladder and the more junk indoctrination they try to serve up the higher we all climb and share our findings.
      No longer can LibLabCon and MSM justify the total illogical, like for example calling us all racists and bigots because we are concerned about the enormous numerical effects on our health, wealth and cultural happiness and existence in our crowded little country.

      Along with “quotes” and other one degree of separation techniques to get a message across, asking a question in the manner of dubious claims in gizmo magazines is simply another in the campaigning BBC editor’s armoury.
      More than slightly overloaded.

    Very poor QT. Memo to the BBC. It is not amusing or enlightening to see a concerted attempt to gang up on one person and gerrymander the audience to support a particular point of view.
    Even Dimbleboy looked uneasy. It was, as they say, bloody obvious. The UKIP lady did well but it must have been exhausting dealing with the obvious attempt to denigrate her.
    Positive is that it means even more UKIP votes.
    The liberals do not think strategically. It will make it much easier to defeat them.

      The Liberals have ‘had it’ along with the ‘Cons’ – QT is doing a good job for UKIP.
      Go for UKIP , Newark people !

      Yes she did very well.
      And even shouted over people, just as the Left are inclined to do.
      This may well be what`s needed…and to be “shouty” may yet be a necessary virtue to deal with the lefty liberal scum.
      Note that it was the UKIP woman who abused Joey Barton for his outrageously sexist comments about ugly women…by their standards this ought to have meant a straight red card.
      But no-if UKIP are upset-then the lefties can only rejoice and suspend their rules until it`s all blown over.
      Well done UKIP MEP-but a disgraceful show trial yet again by the odious QT and their plants in the audience.
      Harry and Paul need to redo their skit on the useless QT.

      Africa has been a basketcase for, let me take a rough guess, twenty or thirty thousand years, give or take a year. And it will always be so.

        When Britain and France was running Africa, there was no famines, no civil wars, Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africa. The only functioning country left is South Africa but that too is now descending into corruption, crime, anarchy and chaos.

      I long long article by CryMeARiver Feargal Keane about child brides forced into marriage. Maybe I am missing it – but there is not a single reference to Islam or Muslim domination of young women.

      Sickening.

    Joey Barton?

    Yes, the bbc – do as expected, without a hint of irony – does the broadcaster of leftist equivocation excel.

    Just another ‘gift of the gob’ scally who is a menace to himself and much worse to wider society. Biased bbc, the bleeding hearts lefties, who are so quick to criticize, harangue and demonize such law abiding people as Nigel Farage and by association those supporters and electorate of UKIP.

    All law abiding citizens, and all men of reason might query, just why is it, that, the bbc are providing him – Barton, with a public platform?

    2007: May – Suspended by City after training-ground altercation with Ousmane Dabo, which leaves his team-mate needing hospital treatment. Charged with assault, and on July 1 2008 receives a four-month suspended jail sentence. Also punished by FA with a 12-match ban – six matches of which are suspended and a £25,000 fine.

    Respect, he has none, and nothing of wit to utter.

      Can you imagine if good old Joey, what a cad, had made the same remarks to a member of the sisterhood.

      The outrage has started. Sort of.

      Joey Barton apologises for ‘ugly girl’ UKIP comments

      I can’t get particularly worked up about what is no more than a rather daft comment, in all honesty. It’s hardly as serious as, say, voter intimidation and attempted ballot rigging. But it will be interesting to see how far the outrage is taken for different people.

        ‘The outrage has started’
        Sounds like the perfect title for a daily slot on The Today Show.
        Opportunity of course still limited to those currently the only ones in BBC producer iPhones.

    A funny discussion on Radio 4 on why there isn’t many women in comedy. It broke down when the two guests agreed with each other, the problem is the BBC, which they accused of agism sexism and anti white racism !

    The BBC doesn’t employ many comediennes because they’re too old, all white skinned, and they still have an issue with women.

    Very enlightening – broadcast just before 08:30

      To paraphrase Bob Monkhouse’s joke:

      But they’re not laughing now.”

    The BBC can do its job on occasion. Currently on BBC iPlayer damning reports of Irish police collusion with the IRA.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b044w6c7/spotlight-death-on-the-border
    This fits with a time when there was also Irish police collusion in covering up for paedophile priests.
    Of course the group most meriting investigation is Sinn Fein and the IRA itself. But well done the BBC for a proper investigation and I hope they keep digging.

    The truth is out there….

    I don’t know whether any one out there is listening, I’m not, I became a political refugee from all BBC radio some time ago. I just couldn’t any longer endure the daily unwarrented and continual political, cultural and religious persecution meted out to me and my countrymen.

    Anyway – assuming you know it – what do you reckon to this….

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p016w3zp

    ‘Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully’

    ‘….returns for a second series.’

    ‘Katrina Lyons was only visiting Cresdon Green, the village where she grew up, to borrow some money from her parents. They said no. But when she tried to head back to London, it turned out aliens had lowered a force field around the village and were refusing to let anyone in or out.’

    ‘The Geonin are not your typical alien invaders. Instead of the usual all-at-once approach to global domination (which usually fails, they’ve noticed) they’ve decided to start small. They’ve encircled the small English village with an impenetrable heat wave, preventing anything coming in or out. With Cresdon Green as their base, they will learn about humankind, using their knowledge to effectively and efficiently spread their domination over the rest of the world, bit by bit. And the first thing they’ve learned is: apart from two young women, no-one is all that much bothered by who’s in charge, as long as the village green is kept tidy.’

    ‘The first series ended with the observation project being extended for another year – so the second series will therefore see Katrina and Lucy still running the resistance; Field Commander Uljabaan still struggling to understand humanity against the backdrop of Geonin budget cuts; Margaret and Richard still not trying to upset their new alien overlords; and the computer just wondering why they all bother. ‘

    Sounds like another unfunny piece of drawing room cod-Marxist nonsense to me.

    The irony in these BBC less than witty satires of everyone involved, actors, writers, production staff, etc etc… all anxiously sucking on the public purse and desperate for the continuation of their own personal status quo – well, that seems to pass remarkably unremarked…

    Why don’t the BBC simply call it Marx Attacks and have done with it (as in Mars Attacks).

      Been listening to LBC for the last month or so, James O’Brien aside the presentation is much more neutral than anything the BBC offers. The best thing is that I’m not forced to contribute to it.

      Having said that, Nick Ferrari was quick to jump on a Religious Rights lawyer who suggested that similar to what happened in Pakistan recently (honour killings) was happening here, he forgot the script that those who mustn’t be mentioned mustn’t be mentioned, at least not negatively….

    The BBC are running a HYS discussion on the atrocity involving two women in India. You won’t get through moderation if you draw attention to failure of famous western feminists – no names mentioned – to overcome their white guilt and speak out against uncivilised cultural practices. On reflection, I think the word ‘uncivilised’ in my otherwise mild rebuke, triggered the moderator.

    Listened to QT on the radio for the first time last night. It was strange not having a view of the show, however it made me very aware of the audience and it’s reaction. Oh dear, what a bunch of lefties they had last night, strange how the honest bBC manages to get such a biased audience.

      The QT audience seemed to all be there to be Border Patrol staff for the new Terminal 2.
      All employed, all on message….hammocks, HUman Rights booklets in 50 languages and Keith Vaz to send for the coffees and ATM/porn/FGM guidelines.
      What a circus-well done UKIP. Stickaround and watch them all deliquesce in their own tears of rage as we continue to vote for UKIP(and for parties even further right if they persist in being the scum that the Left now choose to be).

    AN amazing programme on Radio 4 about BBC expansionism into China. I have no doubt in the tradition of the BBC they will totally F… it up and end up losing millions of our money. Never mind they can always increase the TV tax to cover it. They’re probably too left wing for the Chinese government anyway!

    “Paul Jackson investigates the TV industry in China and the British producers trying to tap this enormous market. As China reaches out to the West for new formats, how are those ideas changed to reflect Chinese tastes and cultural sensitivities and which shows become winners with the audience? Paul also discovers how programme makers within China are trying to create original content and bring it to our screens too.”
