On the BBC website they have a video of 5 changes Trump has made which you might have missed. Obviously all negative, played to scary music – what paragons of journalistic integrity they are. We all know how the use of scary music is the hallmark of a good journalist, as we saw during Panorama: The Kremlin Candidate.
So what now, is he emulating Putin, threatening Putin, conniving with Putin, all three or doing stuff just to wind up the bbc?
gax,
I suspect that Trump, having dismissed the BBC with the ” There’s another beauty ” quip, probably doesn’t give them another thought.
Latest BBC Website headline ” Corbyn vows to overturn rigged system “. A Martian looking at the BBC website would almost believe that Corbyn is the PM and Krankie is the opposition leader.
Apart from Martians, do the BBC really think that this crude propaganda crap fools anyone ?
Rigged?
I could see the bbc making the case for Attila the Hun being so much more cruel and ruthless than the ‘evil’ Francis of Assisi.
gax,
For God’s sake , stop giving them ideas. Attila was not so bad. He loved horses.
All headlines are Corbyn, Treezer relegated to a small space below him. Amazing !
Here’s how the biased BBC help their Labour friends.
Black female (tick, tick) Labour MP Dawn Butler gives a total grade A1 car crash interview which even Eddie Mair has trouble controlling. The wreckage is clear to all.
The bBBC cannot really avoid reporting this, so they do. And they have the audio on the website.
But how to get Dawn out of the deep hole she has dug herself?
Easy,. You get to the end of the audio file and ‘coming next in 4 3 2 1 seconds’ it’s …………Dawn Butler in full audio and video, giving her well-publicised speech in the House of Commons and using sign language !!!!!
Ohhhhh, isn’t that so cute. You see, these totally hopeless Corbyn apologists are all cuddly and friendly really.
You ought to vote for them.
Reminds one of Father Ted’s, ‘Not a Racist’ slide show.
Policeman shot dead in Paris. At present the motive etc is not known. The BBC will be anxious to blame the far right.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39662315
GWF,
Fox News reports that the killer has been shot dead. A little bit ahead of the BBC, but then so is a snail.
Armed robbery in paris (according to the BBC) must have been alans snackbar …………ffs they really are beyond the pale
Funny that as Fox news are reporting that a car stopped, a man got out and fired his AK47 into a police car:
France: Policeman shot dead
The bBC website supports the TV news:
“Police sources quoted by Reuters news agency say it may have been an attempted armed robbery.”
Which is strange as Reuters are reporting the following:
“A person who fired on police on the Champs-Elysees shopping boulevard just days ahead of France’s presidential election has been killed, the source said. A police source also said there had been two assailants, and a witness told Reuters that one man got out of a car at the scene and began shooting with a machine gun.”
Pounce,
2 Gunmen , AK 47s . Totally over the top just for shop-lifting.
Fox news in the bulletin reports that two shooters were involved. This is often the case, only later it turns out to be one deranged misfit
It’s a question. Sadly, the BBC doesn’t do those.
What all European cities need to do to ensure their safety is to have hoards of gormless, arse achingly stupid, virtue signalling liberals smiling inanely for the cameras with placards reading “REFUGEES WELCOME!”
Never fails…
Nothing to see in Paris – move along please. Just a normal multicultural utopia with multicultural “happenings”.
I just listened to the Eddie Mair/ Dawn Butler interview. It is on the BBC website now. Even Eddie Mair is almost speechless. Dawn is clearly very stupid, sounds as if she may be on some medication and makes Diane Rabbit sound like a genius. How can someone like that be an MP ?
Hi Grant, just noticed you beat me to it. Yes, as I said below this woman is thick as mince… she sounds like she has learning difficulties.
My goodness, this woman is thick as mince. Cannot even string a sentence together. She comes across as simple.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39659304
Alex,
I just listened and posted here. It really took my breath away. I think Eddie Mair was too shocked to respond much.
PS BBC Website ” Labour MP struggles through interview “. LOL ! It makes it sound as if Eddie gave her a hard time . But she hoist herself by her own petard.
More “rigging” than you see in the Cowes regatta! And the Spanish Armada.
Who voted for this rubbish – I’d demand my vote back.
That comment made me laugh out loud. I hope she doesn’t aspire to a post politics career in public speaking!
Interviewer, Eddie Mair (?), didn’t even have to ask searching in-depth questions…. It brightened up my morning, though
That interview is hilarious. And here is the BBC’s problem. The more airtime they give to their Labour sweethearts (which they will of course), the more it will be blindingly obvious to anyone left watching their propaganda that Labour really are a bunch of cretins. The whole thing is falling apart for the BBC – you only have to read the comments on the HYSs about the election to see that people absolutely despise the Labour gang of Thornbury, Abbott and the rest.
Synchro,
I did not find it hilarious at all. I found it depressing that a moron like Dawn can have any say in the Government of this country. The BBC should interview her every day, but you can be sure that her Labour minders will keep her under wraps now !
Your wish, their command…
Again, the reaction in the comments could be going better.
Guest,
This woman is totally bonkers ! Is she saying Labour can change their policies right up until the last minute ? Labour should either put her under house arrest or send her on an all expenses paid holiday to St. Kilda. Note to BBC : Please interview her at least every day and ask Corbyn what is a “Rolling Manifesto ” ?
She may well be bonkers too, but clearly was installed in place mainly for blind loyalty to the leader rather than competence in role.
Again, looking back in history, I have learned this seldom ends well.
For anyone.
Guest,
Looked at her Wiki profile. Never had a job outside politics, was adviser to Red Ken on “social and economic issues “.
Such ‘advice’ seldom comes cheap.
Surely other parties have a candidate of colour (vital in truly racist communities) who is not certifiable and bent on self destruction enough to get through to the hive they can choose a better path?
Or is Brent simply going to be walled off soon ‘Escape from New York’ style?
I wonder what it is about this lady that got her into her current job?
Manny, you mean like:
“Mr Corbyn, what first attracted you to black feminist Dawn Butler Brent” ?
Just found myself humming this having listened to that garbage –
“There’s no point in asking
You’ll get no reply.
Oh just remember a don’t decide
I got no reason it’s all too much
You’ll always find us
Out to lunch
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
We’re vacant
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
A-vacant”
Sex Pistols – “Pretty Vacant”
Personally I don’t find her pretty at all..but she sure is vacant!
Stop your cheap comment !
That is the funniest thing I’ve heard in years. I know the tories don’t have a gnats arse’s chance in Brent, but if they can get enough people to hear it then it might help elsewhere. People in Brent would probably still vote for her even after this.
Spider,
Never been to Brent but I suspect that Dawn is the most intelligent inhabitant. She is the Labour Shadow Minister for Diverse Communities. Let’s hope she can spell it.
Grant-If it wasn’t for Wembley Stadium you could not be faulted for thinking that you were in any one of one hundred towns in the Indian sub continent. And I am not joking.
Going to footie matches at Wembley these days is like a foreign trip.
The curry houses aren’t bad. 😀
If you like halal slaughtered meat cooked by people who use their bare hand to clean their bums rather than use toilet paper, then be my guest.
Paris Shooting..
BBC News at 10 “Do we know what impact this could have on the first round of French elections”
Translation: “Oh shit, Marine le Pen will get more votes because of this,”
Obviously Le Pen planned this in order to get votes…….. One wonders when the Ministry of Truth is going to try and put that in from one of its “experts…..”
Despite the BBCs attempts to eulogise about Corbyn’s attack on capitalism and McDonnel’s threats to anyone earning over £70k, today’s late news is hard for the BBC to spin. Red Len suspends his election opponent , who may well be about to defeat him. A good example of how the hard left treat democracy . Meanwhile in France yet another ‘terrorist’ ( Muslim ?) attack can only help Le Pen. BBC in shock.
French policeman murdered, 1/100 the ‘attacker’ is of the religion of peace, 50/1 bar.
Manxman-I am a bookmaker. Your odds for the attacker is too big!!
BBC Online News:
“”Trump on Paris shooting: ‘It just never ends’ “”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39662219
Indeed, Mr Trump. It must hurt the BBC to report his comment.
Was settling down now to watch Kirsty Walk’s menopause show but will watch that other menopausal unshaven tramp on newsnight instead.
Summary:
One police officer has been killed in a shooting on the Champs Elysees in Paris
The shooting suspect, who was armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, has been shot dead
One suspect shot dead
An arrest warrant has been issued for the second suspect who arrived from Belgium by train
ISIS has claimed the attack and has identified the attacker as Abu Yusuf al-Beljiki
A ‘War weapon’ was used in attack
Central Paris remains on in lockdown
Attack comes three days before presidential election
And no mention of the continual rioting in Paris.

“Theresa May has indicated she will stick with the government’s long-running aim of reducing migration to below 100,000.”
Where have we heard that one before ?

Taffman – I really do not know what The Teezer is playing at on this.
My gut feeling is that historically she has been less than keen to deal with this problem and hopes it will all go away. In addition she has people like Pret a manger on her back who want to import cheap labour which we ultimately will end up paying for.
I think she put the feelers out on this via Karen Bradley seeing what reaction she got and Karen did the normal – we need the brightest and the best bollocks (except people are starting to use their own eyes rather than just accepting what these identikit party climbers come out with).
Certainly in the short term The teezer ends up looking good because she appears as if she has put her kitten heeled foot down on the issue. If she was truly committed to drastically reducing the numbers she would have stated this and given detailed plans a long time ago.
I suspect she did not get the reaction she hoped for, so she has just stuck the whole festering issue back onto the backburner and will probably have another go at dropping the targets after she is re-elected .
Its only a few hundred thousand a year or so (with high birth rates) who do not want to embrace our culture – I dont know what we are worrying about. Obviously worrying about demographics is for wussies!
How hard is it to have a limit of 100,000 on immigration? The first 100,000 (far too many imho) every year get in. After that, the list is closed. Try again next year. Am I missing something?
“Bill Gates urges UK to protect foreign aid”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39650012
As always, its easy to spend other people’s money. Money that comes out of the hard earned wages and taxed from the people that can least afford it . The same people enduring long waiting times in hospitals. People who’s children can’t get a decent education and people who’s parents are stuck in poorly manned nursing homes.
The simple answer – stop the government wasting our resorces on Foreign Aid .
Foreign aid should come from charity, say Al Beeb’s Red Nose funds etc.
Don’t forget, Charity begins at home . Think of your own people !
taffy,
But it makes the politicians feel good and that is all that matters. Stuff the taxpayers.
President Trump has sent “condolences to the people of France” after a shooting in central Paris.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39662219
Pehaps he could do well to send them a batch of candles. Thats what the libtards and apologists seem to need after the Terrorists make a hit – light candles .
taffman
Perhaps Trump might stop patting his pal Erdogan on the back and recognise that his kind are the problem
The Beeb website is reporting on the event in France as a ‘terror attack.’ Why the inverted commas? Is there any doubt whatsoever as to what this could be?
What else could we possibly be dealing with? An Olympic shooting team practising too zealously? A peace giving?
Another attack by Mos mates in France and our sensible vicars daughter still wants to continue flooding us with thousands of Mo s mates who will not want to integrate.
How long before one of these delightful gentleman gets hold of something thats a bit more lethal than a truck or gun.
Nice one Theresa!
Apparently the attacker was a “french national” so thats alright then – must be our fault.
Nice one
On Radio 4 they just said ‘if it is confirmed it is an Islamist attack.’ How stupid do they think we are?
They try and make out Trump is the unhinged one, yet these lefty lunatics have dug Europe’s grave.
Blair’s campaign song in 1997 was ‘Things Can Only Get Better.’ Well, thanks to his suicidal policies, things can only get worse. May they all rot in hell for what they have done to us.
I think the BBC have missed a trick here. Yesterday was Hitler’s birthday. They should have spotted that and immediately described the terrorist in Paris as undoubtedly ‘far right’.
Ian,
Do you think they would go as far as blaming Hitler ?
I note how they put ‘terror attack’ in inverted commas yet are happy to state absolutely that someone is far-right, without any quotation marks. And anyone who is not far-left is classified as far-right to them.
BB, when things get awkward, the BBC do like their inverted commas:

BBC NEWS DAILY

Paris gunman ‘was on police radar’
****
There is a thing called a ‘Parisian gunman radar’ (see what I did there?). Apparently. And really it is all the police’s fault for not….. er….. what? Disproportionate profiling? Excessive use of intel? Unfair failure to issue a shadow to every Islamic nut job 24/7?
And even if they did, the BBC could slam them anyway.
Must be nice to be in the ratings and ideology business with zero accountability.
Far-Left is centrist to their unbalanced minds.
It is a perfect storm: leftist establishment who bend over backwards not to ‘offend’ our enemies and persecute anyone who does in the most vicious fashion, combined with a culture in which lying to further their cause is seen as a virtue. And this absurd modus operandi is so deeply entrenched, how can it ever be reversed now? The horse has bolted from the stable door and is marauding through the green and pleasant land. P
Stephen Hicks, in Explaining Postmodernism, describes the Trinity of Evil as:
* resentment
* arrogance
* deceit
The BBC ticks all those boxes with virtually every utterance.
Morning all!
Good to be back-thanks for the kind words and concerns “My old mates”…especially Grant and Snuffalophagus(Upta)!!!
Usual forty days in widows weeds to mourn the (eventually correctly stated) death of Brian Matthew…used up a lot of green ink on this one, so not been here as much as I`d have liked.
(Oh-and some bloody masty “unsupported protocol” crap that stops me getting to this sainted sacreid site as easily as I used to).
Where do we start FFS?
Heard some bloke gently chiding the “cyber criminal community” on the BBC sofa an hour ago-apparently they risk getting a more challenging interview from Lidl if their previous hacking for IS (or-and let`s be balanced here- against the US State Department too!).
And Charlie Stent and his purple-panted poppet next door simply feared for the plight of the e-commerce bitcoin family should such spikey, headstrong youth NOT play a role in tomorrows economy,
For clearly they can already “hack it” in their current gigs…albeit with somewhat inappropriate, disappointing atttudes maybe?
We PAY for this…oh, and all the Paris stuff seems not to include Islam…not a mention of those sainted words Islam or Muslim yet.
But as long as Le Pen gets no credit, no votes etc…that is ALL the Left care about.
cH,
I was worried you had overdosed on Scrumpy !
chrisH: ““My old mates”…especially Grant and Snuffalophagus(Upta)!!!”
Are you bugging my quarters? (Trump-style tweet. LOL!)
If so, I apologise for the coughing, sneezing, nose-blowing and general snuffle-along-ing as I arise this morning, keeping Kimberley Clark and other tissue manufacturers in profit from the start.
It cannot be pleasant listening.
Certainly no fun doing it! 🙁
Probably makes BBC R4 sound good, in contrast …
Welcome back.
Brian Matthew will be missed and R2 will never sound quite so good ever again. B. Matthew BROADCASTER (a proper one) – R.I.P.
Gina Miller getting Brilloed on This Week last night
SJH,
That is one stupid nasty bitch from hell. Well done to Brillo for exposing her for the liar she is !
Theres a real nastiness in her just below the fake superior surface and brillo and widdecombe exposed it last night. Chucky is just an idiot with his soft brexit bollocks being exposed for the con that it is.
Gina Miller is so arrogant she thinks she can fool everyone. Good to see her exposed by Neill. She is purely and simply a control freak determined at whatever the cost to have her own way. I have a picture in my mind of her stamping her feet in rage when she meets any opposition, just like Rumpelstiltskin in the fairy tale. Sadly however, unlike Rumpelstiltskin, she does not stamp her foot so hard that she disappears. Pity.
odd that that particular foreigner hasn’t fucked off yet, she’s definitely one that’s not wanted
BB – I am afraid the horse (or is it a giant nubian goat) has been marauding across the countryside for quite a while.
The only thing that has changed is that people have started to catch on, via alternative media sites.
This is the reason why the BBC and the Government seems so obsessed with “fake news” and shutting down many U tube sites. They say it is to reduce terrorism but in reality (just as in the hate crime nonsense) They will want to use legislation to control what we know so the globalist message goes unchallenged.

Why an American went to Cuba for cancer care
I know you probably think that Cuba is a hateful place, run by billionaire despots who have stolen everything from the people they subjugate. Even their land, houses and food. But no! The BBC insists that despite the US’s wholly unfair sanctions, (boo-boo), this fascist state has stumbled onto a drug and an American is taking it!
Proof positive that Corbyn, The Guardian and the BBC have been right all along.
There was me thinking how terrible it would be to live in a country that imprisons more journalists per capita than any country other than China. It has 30 maximum security prisons, 80 normal prisons and 200 work camps, for its fortunate inhabitants. It only allows people a small loaf of bread a day and one piece of chicken a week. It won’t allow its indigenous folk access to phones, internet etc, .
But if they are treating a US citizen for cancer then wow! Let’s not bother checking it with doctor’s opinions in the west.
It’s a good thing the BBC are doing so many items on Fake News isn’t it, people might believe what they read.
There was a little more to this story you’ve missed, the threat from the favourite bogeyman Donald Trump.
They even broadcast a section from his speech about reintroducing sanctions to Cuba if they don’t meet his conditions – such unreasonable things as religious freedom, release of political prisoners, and free & fair elections – how terrible and unreasonable !
All of this might put the Socialist workers paradise cancer cure in jeopardy, (boo hiss)!
Anybody catch labour Mp Dawn butler on radio 4 yesterday driving into a motorway pileup of a car crash with Mair. Abbott levels of stupidity. One thing that is very obvious with this new breed of labour politico is the level of hate and bile sitting just under that fake veneer of rightousnous. Its their from Corbyn down.

Some here get upset about the BBC’s use or non-use of the word ‘terrorism’. The BBC have argued that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” but that hasn’t stopped them flipping their view from time to time.
My own definition of terrorism would be an action that is designed to strike terror in the civilan population, the terror part is achieved by the unpredictability of the timing and location of the action. In other words are the public constantly ‘looking over their shoulders’? Using a definition of this sort the true ‘lone wolf’ can’t be a terrorist if they only get to carry out one action and are then, say, shot dead. A suicide bomber may be a terrorist though if they are acting under direction; they may be dead but others could follow, the suggestion being part of the terror.
The idea of ‘acting under direction’ creates new difficulties of description. Just lately the authorities seem to be working on the basis that unless an attacker has an ISIS membership card in their back pocket there is no terror involved and, of course, (‘card’ or not, it has nothing to do with…etc.) What they choose to ignore is that there doesn’t need to be active direction.
One can hardly miss that there is a new enemy of mankind, the diesel engine. Shouldn’t something be done about it? Suppose a bus depot goes up in flames. Suppose it gets reported. Suppose another bus depot gets torched. Organised ‘bus terror’ or just an unbalanced individual exposed to too much Roger Harrabin and another individual just looking for ‘fun’? My point is that there needn’t be a command structure, there doesn’t even need to be a desire to create ‘terror’, just a desire to take part in the ‘battle’. All that is needed is an idea, an idea that might be in a book, a book with special protection.
Perhaps there are no terrorist attacks. Perhaps they are all warriors.
Since mid-November, the BBC have enthusiastically joined in pointing fingers at President Putin and Russia and condemning them as having interfered with or, at least influenced, the voting and outcome of the US Presidential Election.
Today, some of our national newspapers have front pages that include news from the EU that could be construed as trying to interfere with or, at least influence, our forthcoming General Election. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-39662684
I wonder what the BBC will say about that?
Early morning Radio 4: Farming Today on Wednesday 19th April was on farming subsidies, how NZ farmers had a bad time when subsidies were removed. Then to Wales, NIreland and Scotland, again doom and gloom about the threat of Brexit ending subsidies. But absolutely no mention of the massive immediate gain of UK fishing waters, surely a hugely popular gain for Scotland, Wales and NI, and England, and possibly a significant vote winner for decimated fishing communities on June 8th ?
