MID WEEK OPEN THREAD…

Middle of the week, radical Islam is merrily slaughtering its way across Europe, but the BBC aren’t really sure what makes them do this? Oh well, here’s an Open Thread to detail their weapons grade bias…

        Jews are not supposed to do anything on Shabbat, Saturday, so that rules out any recreational decapitation or pottering about with ammonium nitrate. You could be implying that Jews are getting their essential jobs out of the way on Fridays while they can.

        You’ll give the BBC ideas.

        nof,

        Doubt it. Crimes committed by muslims , including in muslim countries against other muslims increase during Ramadan , so it fits a pattern.

        • MoreHamHead says:

          It really is no surprise that Ramadan is indeed a bombathon. All these people (I use that term lightly) are starving and dehydrating themselves for a month. There’s going to be a serious lack of nutrients getting to their brains, obviously leading to impaired decisions such as bombing the living crap out of anything that moves and increased devotion to Islam.

            And on a related but serious and never mentioned issue.

            How many Muslim surgeons are there in the NHS who observe Ramadan?
            And would you like to be operated on by one at say 4pm during observance in June, by someone who has not eaten or drunk anything for 12 hours and has interrupted sleep in order to eat and drink when allowed?

            Now THERE’s and issue that the biased BBC could investigate, but of course won’t and I bet neither will the government care to put some statistics on outcomes together.

            Which is kind of an issue if you are the patient awaiting life threatening surgery. Remember patients? The poor sods the NHS is supposed to be for, and the people who the BMA use conveniently whenever necessary. But on this issue? Tumbleweed.

Funny how lefties like Corbyn and Shami Chakribati never discuss the terrible intolerance of many Muslims towards western ways of life. They turn a blind eye and instead blame the -far-Right’ for intolerance.

      Oh, dear. This was all so predictable, but no-one was allowed to voice their concerns without being shouted down and labelled a bigot, racist etc. And where are those pushing for more ‘child’ migrants to be let in…very quiet at the moment. Cumberbatch, Cooper, Clooney etc. They should be invited to discuss these events and how it should be managed. And these are just the stories we hear about – I suspect it’s a minority of the reality. When are they going to wake up in Europe!!
      It’s like watching water go down a plughole – they just can’t help themselves – to propose training these intolerant people as lifeguards????? Would you trust the safety of your children to them?? They cannot see that as Germans they have a wholly different mindset. Or they are just living in la la land. I despair. At least it’s too cold to swim in the knack here. Goodbye Germany (Europe).

    It’s time to start calling Islam and its followers what they are – undesirables. Islam and its cultists simply provide zero benefit to western civilisation. The time for hand wringing and wondering why they are butchering us is over. We should meet force with force. Any Muslim found to be colluding with, sympathetic to or involved with any terror related activity should be deported along with their families.

    “But lots of Muslims are British born!” the liberal left scream. Then we deport them to their ancestral homeland. Thankfully, the average person of British descent is far too intelligent to be a Muslim.

    I feel there may be an angle to start an offshoot of bBBC – called bFB (referring to the bias Facebook has recently decided to adopt). If you look at their Trending Articles on the right hand side you’d think we lived in the peaceful west once more as it used to be as the only terror being spoken of is in Syria nonetheless. Cheers facebook for keeping me up to date but as a Londoner I’d feel a little bit safer if you mentioned that we are next as I feel thats a little bit more important to how I decide to use the cities transport system, call me old fashioned and you go get em with all those cute teddy bears and hashtags!! #CheersFB

      Facebook, BBC, ITV, Guardian ,Independent, in fact almost all of the MSM and the rest of the liberal left elite will all attempt to continue their policy of deception on the issue of islamification and multiculturalism. This won’t need any central command, the elite just know how they expect each other to react . However, I note that in the Times and the Telegraph, two centrist papers but still members of the elite, there are an increasing number of articles which are veering away from the’ multiculty is the way moral forward’ and ‘the west is at fault and should treat muslims better’, tripe served up by the elite. The supportive comments from readers for these types of articles runs to 1000s. There is no doubt what many Times and Telegraph readers think and it isn’t much different to what contributors to this site think. But I doubt that will be sufficient to change the views of the true liberal left who view multiculturalism as an article of faith and simply can’t accept that their whole construct of the past 40 years is in ruins. I seriously doubt if even another hundred attacks and thousands of dead Europeans will change their entrenched ,bigoted view. But will our politicians note the mood of the people as exemplified by those articles in the Times and Telegraph?
      Only by forcing politicians to understand that the voters utterly reject multiculturalism and want something positive and active done about the Islamification of Europe will we see any change.In those countries which have a strong anti immigration political parties people must vote for them and overthrow the liberal left elite.
      In the UK we don’t have such a party. The reason for this is that the BBC et al have been very successful in tricking people into believing that multicultralism is a good thing , something which makes society better, and above all a moral thing . Anyone who dares to question this has been ruthlessly and relentlessly attacked for the past 40 years and smeared as an evil Nazi racist and so no UK politician dare to go anywhere near this issue. Look how Leavers have been portrayed on the BBC for even daring to question the immigration of fellow Europeans .Imagine how the BBC would have foamed with much blood if we had voted to limit brown skinned immigration. The danger is that because we have no ‘ anti multiculturalism party ‘ , we allow our media to continue to peddle their dangerous lies and so hamper the attempts of other countries to deal with Islam.

      • Cranmer says:

        Doublethinker, I recently read a Guardian article about the killing of the priest in France, and the comments were divided roughly equally between ‘it’s all the west’s fault’ and ‘there is a serious problem with Islam and immigration’. That’s quite a big change – it would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

        I also think that with each new attack, it becomes harder to push the line that it’s all the west’s fault, all you need is love, etc. Every person killed, injured or directly involved in Islamic attacks will have a network of friends and relatives who are likely to start seeing things differently once someone they know is involved.

        Think of the liberal media consensus as like a wall with a few cracks in it. At first it can be papered over or ignored but eventually, as the cracks spread, it becomes impossible to deny and if you do, the whole edifice will collapse. Each attack adds another crack.

          Cranmer,
          I hope that you are right and that the cracks , which we both see are there, do mark the beginning of the bursting of the dam. But my fear is that it will take a hell of a lot of deaths and mayhem before the liberal media begin to tell the truth. Therefore, the people must throw these ‘friends of Islam ‘ aside and use their votes to force the politicians to address the issue head on.

            Doublethinker, sadly I think you’re right. But it’s becoming more difficult already for the liberal elites to defend unlimited immigration. Eg, Mr Cumberbatch and fellow luvvies seem to have gone quiet, and the last time I saw a sign saying ‘refugees welcome’ it was held by a snarling, hooded ‘Gollum’ from Class War so hardly a mainstream person…

              I see a problem though. In view of the current level of provocation, it’s only a matter of time before someone attacks an Imam or a mosque. And I don’t mean with a packet of streaky from Morrisons.

              This is the sort of reaction they want, and sooner or later some clown will oblige. Obviously it will be self inflicted to a large extent but governments and the MSM will immediately say “There! We told you racism is the problem.”

              It will happen, sooner or later. I suppose we’ll just have to accept it as part of the process.

                Maria – this is possibly why the French have announced they are not going to name the perpetrators of terror attacks. If, God forbid, there is a revenge attack on a mosque (which will cause the banlieux to erupt like it was 1789), if the identity of the perpetrator is kept secret it is easier to spin it as inter-islamic fighting than if they reveal the killers as Jean-Baptiste le Fevrier or Jacques-Claude Petain, for example.

  7. G.W.F. says:

    An interest I have mentioned here is how the BBC bias and tacit support for Islam and its terrorists trickles down to the far and loony left. They are not so far these days and appear to be increasingly tolerated by the police who are so overworked responding to hate speech, but not of the Islam supporting left. In the wake of recent terrorist atrocities I have scanned the sites of UAF, Antifa, SWP and Class War to mention a few. None even mention the atrocities but focus on BBC influenced signs of post Brexit racism, where Boris Johnson is denounced as a racist who was responsible for Brexit. You won’t find the plod addressing this kind of hate and I will wager that next Friday’s planned march on Boris Johnson’s home will not result in any arrests despite the predicted violence.

      G.W.F., the police don’t want to stop these sorts of demonstrations as they provide useful ammunition in their fight to prevent reductions in their funding.
      It helps to concentrate the mind of a politician wonderfully; if he thinks that with slightly fewer police around he or his house might get damaged.

      The police use the EDL marches and their counter demonstrations for the same end. They cause a bit of difficulty for local people (which again gains public support for opposition to cuts in government spending on the police) but they never, really, lose control.

    You just have to laugh if only to stop you crying. On Sky News today the idiot cop in charge of the attempted snatch of a serviceman at RAF Marham. Just posted two photo-fits of ‘non-Caucasian appearance’ but can’t draw any conclusions as to the motive of the attempted kidnapping. Apparently according to this numbskull, it may have been a case of mistaken identity, it may have been a drug related debt (for which I hope the serviceman sues Norfolk police), or get this, it may have been a domestic situation !

    Of course, the serviceman was in a three or four way relationship with the perpetrators but instead of kissing one of them when they got out of the car, accidently nutted him in the face. Must have been a ‘dogging’ situation in broad daylight on a main street as there is also a suspected third person who was the driver. But absolutely nothing to suggest it was linked in any way to terrorism. This idiot should be dismissed and his vast undeserved pension revoked and used to help pay for forces accommodation to be repaired.

    As for the recent ‘unexpectedly’ higher growth figures … where are all the Remainers shouting lies, untruths, falsehoods. Mind you I suspect all those CEOs that penned letters to the newspapers prior to the referendum will be desperately seeking ways to delay any investments so they are not proved to be the duplicitous liars and fake doom mongers we all knew they were.

There’s plenty of time for the routine slaughter of Kaffirs under Sharia when the balance of numbers is favourable to us.
      ‘Extremist’ – those youngsters who will forever want things to happen overnight! The accelerated slaughter of Kaffirs only results in setbacks to the moderates long-term plan of Islamification and, indeed, may result in the halting of progress made over the last 50/60 years.

    On an only slightly different thread: past few days there have been 2 separate reports of shootings in 1) Malmo (in a Muslim neighbourhood, “gang related”) and 2) Berlin, where a doctor/dentist was shot, then the killer shot himself. Nothing to do with Islam / terror of course, probably just another patient who was unhappy about a filling so he smoked his dentist, happens all the time.
    But when these slightly odd stories disappear too quickly, with no details, no follow-ups, no PICS and NO NAMES, I can’t help getting a bit suspicious.

    (No doubt he will be revealed to be another ‘David’ soon, like in Munich. Ah David, popular name in Iran, like Ayatollah David Khomeini – call me Dave – great lad that Dave.)

          Rob, if there is a suspect at large and the police/media do not give a description, I now automatically assume that the person involved is ‘of middle eastern appearance.’ If the suspect is no longer a threat but no name is given, eg in the Berlin hospital shooting, I keep an open mind (eg, perhaps close relatives have not been informed) but watch carefully to see if any information about name, origins etc is buried.

    Now this gets interesting.

    According to Sky, several men were seen running away after the blast. Unless my eyes deceived me, I’m sure their original article added “of Mediterranean (or was it Arab?) appearance” – but now it’s completely gone. I didn’t archive a copy, unfortunately.

    Digging a bit deeper, German news website Bild says that one of them was of “südländisches Aussehen” i.e. Mediterranean (or perhaps Olive-skinned) appearance, and this was a direct quote from the description issued by das polizei.

    So… Why take it down then?

    Assume no reference will be made by Al Beeb. God forbid they should actually help anyone catch the perpetrators.

      Your son was “radicalised” (read: began carrying out the duties expected of him as per the Koran) because you and he subscribe to the murderous death cult known as Islam. Whilst you, thankfully, remained wilfully ignorant of the disgusting barbarism called for in the Koran, your son took it more seriously. It’s not because your son was called a black prick (which I very much doubt happened). It’s not because someone probably once asked why you’re carrying a bowl of fruit on your head.

              Yes there’s been quite a bit of discussion about this. My own theory (based on nothing except my own observation and speculation and some reading around the subject) is that some women have a strong, mostly subconscious desire for men clearly from a different gene pool (so as to promote healthy offspring). This is compounded by having men in their own culture who are feminised and therefore seen as less desirable (eg, Sweden). However…it’s a kind of ‘holiday romance’ which wears off after the initial attraction because in cultural terms there is a lot of incompatibility. I think what we may be seeing now is the wearing off of the ‘honeymoon’ stage of mass immigration of young men because the ‘compatibility’ for long term pair-bonding doesn’t seem to be happening. Or I may just be talking twaddle!

It makes sense when we see feminists and women politicians playing down the threats from the invadrrs. Perhaps it is a biological thing – women seeing to mate with the strong. Especially as European men have surrendered their traditional manhood

    I see the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is now claiming that “David S.” is a racist with an extreme rightwing worldview. Having the same birthday as Adolf Hitler was an honour for him and his German/Iranian heritage meant he was a proud Aryan. Apparently, he hated Arabs and Turks and felt superior to them, using racist language towards then during online games. All this infornation is supposed to come “aus dem engsten Umfeld des jungen Manns” (those closest to the young man) but as he was supposed to be a loner, it is hard to interpret what this might mean, parents, teachers?. Sources in the security services say they are investigating whether he deliberately targeted young people with a migrant heritage because of this. Allah be praised! INTDWI after all.

        FeelLikeWTF, I can see the logic in not releasing names – makes it harder for jihadists to post videos etc without therefore revealing that they know something they shouldn’t. If however it’s intended as a way of covering up who’s carrying out attacks (which will mean they will also have to conceal ethnicity, religion and motive), it will also mean there’s no way of pinning attacks on the ‘right wing’ which will prove a big disappointment for some. We need to watch carefully.

        Precisely, Thatcherrevolutionary.

        But does this occur to any of the vaunted beeboid ‘investigative reporters’ ? And does it occur to any of the same idiots that, if it is true (i.e. what Ms Clinton and the Democratic hangers-on in justice departments in the US claim) that the e-mails are now totally irretrievable, then, by definition, they cannot be hacked – ergo, Mr Trump cannot, by definition, be now encouraging anyone to hack his opponent, since it apparently cannot be done.

        What he is doing, however, is supporting Ms Clinton’s greatest desires – he is encouraging anyone who has the e-mails to bring them forward – this must be totally in line with Ms Clinton’s wish to be able to prove what she has always maintained – i.e. that they were innocuous and personal only.

        The alternatives, however, are interesting.

        If these e-mails are hackable – i.e. they exist and are recoverable – then some person or persons in very high places inside the US government is/are heavily protecting Ms Clinton from oversight of her actions, or they are just plain incompetent if they can be hacked by someone who does not have the same level of access as they have to the equipment.

        OR – her server was already hacked and was being monitored for all traffic on it, potentially by foreign governments…. precisely the reason she was advised not to have the server in the first place….and she’s definitely incompetent.

        Hoever, the Beeboids naturally fall straight into their left-wing, Hilary-for-president-no-matter-what-she’s done mode, and blame her opponents. Classic Biased Broadcasting Company behaviour.

    An episode of Fireman Sam, first broadcast in October 2014, has been withdrawn. A scene in the children’s programme shows a fireman slipping on a pile of papers and as they fly into the air a page of the Koran is “briefly depicted” and said page is accidentally trodden on.
    Well, let’s be honest, I think our noble Muslim friends have shown enormous restraint over such a blatant act of provocation. Personally, I don’t think they should let matters rest there. Let’s have a trawl through some other kids telly to see what else might be deemed offensive. Blue Peter springs immediately to mind. Often I’ve seen women, completely unchaperoned and hijab free, sitting next to men and doing unspeakable things with sticky back plastic.

        That may explain the BBC’s current obsession with both of those but in the long run, the future does not look very bright for our favourite broadcaster.

    I feel compelled to say that the Leave campaign were right. The atrocities in Germany and France are beyond comprehension.
    We have to control and check immigrants/migrants to our countries. Although it is impossible to trace a persons background if they have no passport??
    Different cultures and ideologies cannot live side by side without some sort of repercussion. Which has been proven to be shocking. How could any human being inflict such suffering on a fellow human being? Especially a man and women of the cloth.
    It is a conflict of religion/culture.

    Still nothing from the BBC on the explosion in Zirndorf, Germany. There is a ray of hope for the BBC, the incident occurred near a migrant centre. At this moment the Beebs finest will be dusting off the ‘far-right backlash’ files and searching for photos of frightened migrants.

    Imagine the uproar if a Christian lunatic gate crashed a mosque and put a bullet in the Imam. That really would open the floodgates for the Muslims to retaliate in full force, but it shows that as Christians we are more civilised – its us that bang on about ‘solidarity’ and ‘standing together’ etc etc, after yet another atrocity against us (and the jewish community), but I cant ever remember a Muslim spokesman speaking vehemently to do that !

    I listened to PM and heard “Edith” Mair getting put back in his box by an American he was interviewing about the decision of a judge in the U.S. to free Hinckley, the attempted assassin of Ronald Reagan; a Secret Service Agent; policeman and murderer of one of the president’s aides, from a mental institution after 35 years inside.

    The chap had worked for Reagan I think and had written a book about him, he just flat out said that it was being done because the judge was a Clinton appointee; Edith didn’t like that but this American just turned E’s argument around and smacked him in the head with it. It was great to hear and Edith seemed a little taken aback.

    It was very good and a great example of how people interviewed by al beebus drones should handle things when the interview becomes even mildly hostile: don’t give an inch and fight back hard.
    If more people were like that with them instead of being so supine, then the al beebies would indulge in it a lot less, in my view.

    Evening all, just off on holiday with the family tomorrow so had absolutely no intention of posting although do like to come for my daily dose of sanity (or insanity as BBC/MSM) would say. I much prefer you guys personally.

    After watching a science documentary with my step mum (who I had to endure a few pints with her happily towing the guardian line – she’s a teacher so forgiven) then made the fatal error of switching over to BBCs 10 o’clock lies. We flicked over maybe 20 mins in so I can’t be sure but was absolutely appalled to see a headline news item showing the devastation ISIS has caused in Baghdad. BBC sternly goes in to the story “Baghdad, where IS has claimed the MOST casualties”…. I found this hugely offensive. I’m certain that it is hell living in Baghdad and do not for one minute want to quash their plight but it was actually the offensive tone in which the anchor delivered it. An almost how dare anyone think that you’ve got it bad as look what’s going on over there… Now into BBC London news and bless them the new st Pancras extension is a main news item. Again completely offended since ISIS have stated that we are next. The contempt and lies would make Camerom a very proud man, you never know perhaps Cameron did in fact leave a legacy, for the BBC that is ?

    Classic FM Global Spews has been punting out all day that the French Gov is going to pop a Genderame at every place of worship and the U.K. one is stumping up £2.6M with similar intent.

    Not sure if the BBC has covered these, but a few questions do occur.

    Like, for instance, how does this deployment and/or largesse stack up in practice, and for how long?

    Because Pierre and his 9mm until next Tuesday isn’t really going to cut it if an AK and RPG crew decide to swing by, off the beaten track, after hours.

    Meanwhile, dividing that £ amount by all possible qualified targets suggests about enough for a 2c A5 flyer with a stern warning of dire consequences on the noticeboard by the gate.

On another note and I do feel like a bit of a scum bag for bringing this up but in the background is “Exodus: Our Journey to Europe”, now this is classic bBBC at its best since all the migrants featured all seem like lovely people, their english is perfect, their stories are horrific… Beeb if in fact you are listening we are not calling for an end of these voices what we are calling for is an appropriate representation of them.

      As mentioned by a previous post – Looks like EL Papa s muslim foot washing exercises along with soothing words from the likes of Welby seem to have been somewhat unsuccessful in beating off attacks by Islam on Christianity.

      I loved the statement made by a multi faith group (including muslims) saying that the Rouen attack was “AN ATTACK ON US ALL” – Really I thought the attack had been specifically aimed at Christianity.

      UK Goverment now talking about increasing security for UK churches. How you you gonna do that set up watch towers?
      And who do you need to protect them from anyway – surely not from adherents of the “religion of peace”

      It is quite amusing (in a very grim sort of way) that Church leaders in Christendom by their weak and naive words have had a major hand in helping the decline of Christianity in the West.
      Despite what church leaders preach – I think the days of turning the other cheek are long gone – I think maybe we should start looking t the Old Testament for guidance – Maybe something the Jihadis might understand more

          In his defence Welby is well aware of the persecution of Christians in Africa. Rowan Williams got little credit for his efforts to highlight Christian persecution in the Middle East. Pope John Paul II was a strong voice against the Iraq war. Sometimes Christian leaders are not as clueless as the media like to portray them.

            If Welby was not aware of it , I would be astonished. I guess the reason he does not speak out more is to appease the muslims in the hope they will stop. Same policy as most Church leaders, but still stupid and , of course , gives no support for their flock , who are suffering a Genocide.

            One side is already chipping merrily away at the foundations of our society aided and abetted by a band of disloyal and craven mainstream media and politicians.

            You are right Grant to say that Welby did not say too much in case he upset our “moderate muslims”
            However denial and prevarication helps no-one it only allows the problem to grow much larger and therefore far more difficult to control.

            I truly hope I am wrong in saying these things but my gut feeling is that I am right. Lets hope our religous leaders wake up before it is too late.

              I too am sure that Williams and Welby are ‘nice guys’. The trouble seems to me to be that parsons in general over the last 50 years have come to believe that Christianity and being a sort of limp wristed leftie are essentially the same thing. Yes, the way of Christ has some parallels with socialism, but they are not one and the same thing.

              The trouble is that what appears to be the wet leftie, ‘nice’ thing to do can sometimes backfire spectacularly – eg, Merkel’s open invitation. Sometimes you have to exercise tough love and say ‘enough; there are people amongst us who are doing us harm and we need to deal firmly with them.’ I wonder what Archbishop ‘Killer’ Runcie would have made of it all.

    The BBC clearly felt that the condemnation of Israeli settlements hasn’t been talked about for a while so it was necessary to put it in the news headlines no less ( BBC Radio 4) the United States State Department John Kirby’s statement against them.

    Yochanan Visser: reacting to the approval of 800 new housing units for Jews and 600 for Arab residents in the Jerusalem area, the State Department on Wednesday accused Israel of systematically seizing “Palestinian land.” Apparently, State Department spokesman John Kirby based his statement on inciting and incorrect information he received from the Palestinian side. No settlement will be expanded outside existing zone plans. Furthermore, the announcement of the plan was, in fact, phase two in a long procedure that started in 2012 when a planning committee approved the proposal.
 His accusation that there is “a systematic process of land seizures” is false; the plan doesn’t involve land expropriation. The only construction plan that is scheduled to be executed outside an existing neighborhood is the building of 600 units for Arabs near the existing Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa

    R4’s Today excelled itself this morning with another breathtaking examples of bias. Discussing the proposed Hinkley Point nuclear contract, this travesty of a news programme offered us two points of view. -One was from an unelected campaigner for ‘low carbon’ witchcraft who opposed Hinkley, the other from the disgraced former jailbird Chris ‘bonkers’ Huhne – possibly the worst energy Secretary Britain has ever had, and also a fanatical warmist, who appeared to favour the deal.

    Both clowns did what they were there to do – pumping the BBC’s party line that we need ‘low carbon’ (they mean low carbon dioxide, but that is the unscientific terminology BBC hacks and other ecoloons favour) and both took it for granted that if we didn’t build Hinkley, we would have to find alternative ‘Green’ ways of generating electricity to meet demand because the sane way of generating electricity, using fossil fuels, was out of he question if we are to going to ‘save the planet’ (probably the most empty and inane political slogan ever invented).

    So there we have it. Just two points of view. Throw billions at EDF, the French government owned company that has already proved it cannot build a nuclear facility that works, on time and on budget, and fail to meet electricity demand, or build it, pay at least £37 billion to EDF, and still fail to generate enough electricity because they aren’t able to make it work.

    The sane option – to re-open or build coal or gas fired plants as countries like Germany and China are doing, didn’t get even a moment’s consideration, so it was job done for the Biased Broadcastng Corporation. Triple ‘rainforest friendly’ lattes all round, drunk from a Greenpeace mug, of course.

        Huhne only wound-up in government by fluke. His party represents a tiny minority, he, personally. has no expertise in this area, and he is a convicted perjurer. Just the sort of person the BBC listens to, one can only suppose.

            Napier University, Edinburgh used to have Bernard Lewis in it. Last borrowed 6 years previously ! Grant didn’t need to of course as Lewis’ main works are in his personal library !

      GC, ” ‘save the planet’ (probably the most empty and inane political slogan ever invented). ”

      Think it was invented by Gordon Brown.

      ‘Nuff said.

        ‘save the planet’

        I’m reminded of being accosted some years ago on London’s Oxford Street by a Chugger in a Friends of the Earth (or possibly Green Peace) tabard with the cry “Have you two minutes to save the Planet ?”

        Naturally I replied in the negative.

        Although a small nagging seed of doubt and guilt was implating even in my unconscionable and no doubt bigoted conservative conscience.

        Happily the planet currently survives without my charitable intervention.

          When visiting my kids a few years ago, I bought a T shirt in Greenwich market for my other half. It says:

          “Yes, I have plenty of change. Thanks for asking.

          Now fuck off and get yourself a job.”

          He’s never worn it, the coward.

          Another bullshit permutational game for hours of needless fun.
          Define all four words…add EARTH in as well, and you can see volcanoes gently bubbling earwax if you persist…goes great with a vape in that there is potential for ash clouds where fleas dare not enter.
          If you play it right.
          AISI?…”two minutes to save the planet?”

      ‘….Chris ‘bonkers’ Huhne – possibly the worst energy Secretary Britain has ever had, and also a fanatical warmist, who appeared to favour the deal’

      But there was also Weird Ed Miliband, a bit like his mentor, Gordon Brown, who taught poor Ed to wreck everything he touched. Surely he was the worst?

      On reflection, I take your point though. Can we call it a draw?

        The biography of Weird Ed that was published when he looked as if he might be a person we needed to know about made clear that when he was S of S for ‘Energy and Climate Change’ he was totally uninterested in the ‘energy’ bit and saw himself as an activist for the ‘climate change’ bit. Bonkers.

      Sorry GCooper.
      This is “science”-where it meets “technology”-where it meets “Petra Kelly”-and the “Atomkraft, Nein Danke” lobby-where it meets Porritt, Juniper, Lucas and Moonbat lunacies of Stowe Prep.
      And with the likes of Miliband, Huhne, Des Wilson and Annie Lennox…safe to say, there`ll be nothing here to hang a hat on…a news free , Scorched earth, blasted heath of of an environmental and informational landscape in need of a turbine, a wristband, a dead porpoise owned by a dolphin boy…and a rainbow jumper of a shroud to seal Helen Morrell in her Chernobyl Sacrophagus.
      AND-if you filter all this shit through either the muslin slanket of MIshal , or the linen silk traidcraft socks of Webb, the thonged grarled toeholds of Humphrys in his sandals…the potential for ANYTHING of value to come out of this reduces to negative values.
      The Tories binned Energy and Climate Change two weeks ago…as a “Department”….so who else but the BBC will give these snaking charlatans an excuse to get up in the morning?
      We had the likes of Ed Davey, Chris Huhne, Geoff Hoon and John Prescott in elected government positions in our lifetimes as we watched on-we deserve Islamic State at times like these don`t we?

      Sad to say but albeit in a perhaps less cynical way, the current government is ‘doing a Gordon’, that is by defining its level of support for a given issue purely in the money spent and not on the value for money. Examples? The gold plating of HS2 and Hinckley Point. Then there’s Overseas Development. With Brown it was mainly social spending.
      I know a bit about the EPR; nice idea but lousy implementation – check out Oikiluoto 3. What beats me is why we don’t just build an off the shelf design being built by the likes of Westinghouse in China, or even a version of Sizewell B with a little updating. Aspects of the EPR design are not even new but use existing tried and tested technology (lower risk), making the cost even more utterly incredible.
      I might even add the Nuclear Deterrent replacement. Can’t we just build a few subs to the same design as the current fleet – with upgrades to non-critical services, like the bunk beds, showers, etc plus the inevitable IT. I mean, how ‘modern and efficient’ does a nuclear warhead have to be, just as long as it works.

    BBC Business with hyper-active Aussie Aaron Heslehurst is a bastion of BBC anti-Brexit kite-flying.

    This morning they headline with ‘Tourism an industry in crisis… because of Terrorism and Brexit !!!’

    Like most BBC reports this one fails to deliver what it said on the tin.

    Worst hit regions:

    Tunisia – 38, of whom 30 were British, massacred on Sousse beach June 2015

    Egypt – October 2015 returning from Sharm el-Sheikh airliner blown out of the sky over Sinai

    Turkey – Coup 15th July 2016 and continuing purges, anyone?

    France – …. well, we hardly need reminding….

    So, our busy business guy Aaron, how does Brexit fit in with problems in the Tourist industry? ‘The Pound!’ He bleats. Fellow Beeboid undercuts that with reminders that previous falls in our currency have not led to marked declines in the British holidaying abroad – something to do with economics about which our BBC Business team ought to have been aware – ‘demand for hoildays is not very elastic’ A fall of 10% in the value of the pound won’t give a 10% fall in demand.

    There we have the BBC case for Brexit wrecking the tourist trade shot down within the BBC’s own report.

    So how come this politically contentious assertion (now dimissed as factually erroneous) got put up there in the headline?

    Institutional BBC Bias.

      I’m always amazed that the BBC’s current bleating about the Tourism industry being heavily negatively impacted because of the drop in the pound after Brexit isn’t instantly shot down by someone mentioning that the Tourism industry must be totally wasting its time and dosh with its wall-to-wall advertising from around Boxing Day last year onwards and that, just like every other previous year, the vast bulk of people did not leave their holiday decisions until June 24th this year.

      Additionally, the fall in the pound, provided you don’t take the peak values on June 23rd (and instead look at the average over the previous few months) has been more like 7.5 – 8%. And we’ve had that sort of variation often before – with no cataclysmic effect on the holiday industry.

      The issues surrounding tourism in Northern African Countries, the Greek Islands, Turkey and perhaps now Southern France, have far more to do with one specific thing, Beeboids, and it ain’t Brexit.

        Need to get used to it Richard.
        For the next few years, Brexit will join racism, hate crime, thought violations as a catch all suggestion box in which to park every prejudice, wrong call, bad decision, scandal or what have you?
        You`re shit manager who knows nothing, cares less?…well Brexit threw you, blame Farage!
        Anything that the BBC hates like white trash in their caravans on the M4?…bloody Brexit keeping `em at home.
        No one buying the Guardian, but the Mail and Express doing OK?…bloody Brexit.
        Basically a catch all mop up insult to us all…now how long we`ll absorb it before biting them good and hard?…that`s up to us!
        If you voted to leave the EU-you`re one of our own.
        If you`re lefty liberal scum who continue to sneer-we`re onto you, and revenge will be cold…but inevitable.
        The only remainers I will accept are the few who did fear for grandkids abroad or who trade with Europe and feared retaliation…can accept those fears, and it was not personal.
        The indulged political c***ts who had the luxury of choosing chose to shaft us-not forgotten, never forgiven either.

      And there was me thinking that lots more B&B owners and TICs in the UK would be delighted at all the new staycationers who`d rather spend in Tenby and Blackpool that come home in a shoebox from Tunis or Bodrum.
      Silly me…all I can say is try getting somewhere to stay in Britain at the mo that is not crowded, overpriced and difficult to confirm-even in THIS shit weather, this is going to be a good year for the Tourist economy here…which the SJWs at the BBC will hate…all voted Brexit you see!

    Did you know there’s been a huge increase in hate crime since the greatest disaster in human history (brexit), yes I heard it on the BBC today ..and yesterday …. and the day before ….. and every day for the past month. Anyway its all too true, cos today an English border terrier committed what was clearly a brexit fuelled racist xenophobe hate crime against my Dachshund. He barked at her, just because she’s different, and barks with a funny German accent. If only we all loved each other like Saint Jo wanted then all this hate would go away….. Naturally I reported this crime to the report hate crime website and am eagerly awaiting a response from our competent, respected and ever so effective police. Hopefully they will give it the priority it deserves unlike trivial crimes like burglaries, theft, fraud…..which they usually ignore or dont even bother to record.
    Had to laf about the Fireman Sam cartoon briefly menioned on R4 5:30 news yesterday morning. How could you miss it? it was mentioned for all of 10 seconds…
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36900310
    A scene in the children’s programme shows a fireman slipping on a pile of papers – and as they fly into the air a page from the Koran is “briefly depicted”, production firm Mattel said.. The pain and anguish this must have caused must be unimaginable, far far worse than cutting a poor old priests throat… I personally find Korandrex pages are far too slippery and not nearly absorbent enough for my needs.

    The BBC is reporting the identity of the second Jihadi who beheaded the Catholic priest in France as Abdel Malik Petitjean. (Yes the one where the Pope said the killing was not religiously motivated.)
    They don’t seem able to do any analysis of the details provided by the French media or police despite the huge number of journalists they employ in France
    Is it right his father was French born assuming his surname of Petitjean? This indicates he was of mixed parentage which is a development of some interest.
    His driver’s licence is depicted at the top of the web story.
    Why is his prenom given as ‘Maur’ on the licence? The BBC does not ask why it is not Abdel Malik and how this happened?
    Is Maur perhaps short for Maurice? But more importantly why did he manage to drive with inaccurate information on his licence which makes computer checking difficult?

        As are most Popes since Benedict left the stage in 2013.
        “This is not a war of religions”…but of resources and priorities apparently.
        So Idiot Lantern Frank thinks that these scum are climate change activists, who want debt relief for the Sahel?
        This Pope is a Pipe of Piss.
        He lets his elderly retired priests die like this in Rouen…but sees no significance to what it means for his staff worldwide?
        After the paedo stuff a few years back-the Catholic Church found itself guilty on “Health and Safety, Duty Of Care” charges and violations much as any other large employer might.
        And I`ve seen no grosser violation that Francis washing his hands of the death of a poor bloke merely helping out past retirement, in his ghost town parishes.
        Now-had he been a paedophile-chances are he`d now be living safely in a presbytery, and out of public risk or gaze…even doing very nicely on a retirement stipend, all hushed up.
        After what Francis said-any Catholic ought to remind the church of this…they`ve not heard the end of this, even if Le Monde hopes we have.
        The BBC refer to this atrocity as “an unprovoked attack”…
        Well that`s ONE way of describing it…hope the supine Papal sock sniffers rise up and bin their Guardian puppet pronto-or it`ll get far worse…those Vatican walls look strong enough for Francis-but his old boys serving the parishes are clearly fair game for Islam from now on.

          Recent op article in Grauniad (or Indie, I forget) was effusing over the ‘moderate’ ‘restrained’ French reaction to the gruesome ritual slaughter of the priest, which showed true Christian spirit of forgiveness bla bla.

          Arise children of the fatherland
          The day of glory has arrived
          Against us tyranny’s
          Bloody standard is raised
          Listen to the sound in the fields
          The howling of these fearsome soldiers
          They are coming into our midst
          TO CUT THE THROATS of your sons and consorts
          To arms citizens Form your battalions
          March, march
          Let impure blood
          Soak our furrows…
