Liked the fact that Woman’s hour couldn’t interview the BBC’s once China Editor due to impartiality rules….so they wheeled in a Guardian reporter instead.

    BBC final word on Acid Throwing … (is that a nice term for destroying someones life) .. surely Acid Attack .. or Acid Violence …

    Everything you know about acid attacks is wrong {bbc.co.uk 17nov2017}

    Acid throwing dates to Victorian times, he added – and Britain is witnessing a “new phase” of the violent attacks.

    “We’ve had acid throwing in this country for over 200 years, and there’s been a new development of it,” said Dr Harding. “But it’s not new and it’s not imported.” (Graphs only go back to 2001 not the 1900’s)

      And here’s more of that graph.

      Taking into account the ethnic percentages of the UK, that makes certain ethnicities hugely more likely to be involved in acid attacks.

      Diversity? Luvly jubbly.

      Slightly unrelated, but as a rule of thumb, I now equate any article with overtly provocative click-bait headlines like this with an organ struggling to maintain readership. (A more accurate header would be ‘Here’s some data relating to acid attacks’. Not quite as punchy though.)

      It’s all over the Grauniad these days… “Why you’re wrong to think X”; “Why [unknown opinionated blogger] was right when he said Y”. Followed swiftly by “please give us some money”.

      Sign of the times.

      Isn’t physical attraction all a bit right-wing now? Or racist? Or something? I’m sure I read it somewhere. The Graun rhetorically asks: “Is nothing sacred? [Answer] Priests are always sexy!”

      Does this also apply to Imams? Rabbis? Hollywood starlets?

      I’m confused. Please send me for re-education immediately.

    Hilarious. Not like the crap they put out now
    Anyway, the Black Spot Sketch.
    Sunday’s BBC 2 version was edited, (surprise surprise) so I thought I would treat you all to the full unedited (well, slightly) unedited version if you have never seen it before or like me, had forgotten about it.
    By the way, I think the original used the “C” word. But don’t worry, the best bit is still original.

    Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, recently published a startling opinion, advocating for more immigration as an inescapable reality to which European citizens should just adapt without any further discussion.

    Since Ludvik believes she is too serious, he writes on the postcard, “Optimism is the opium of mankind! A healthy spirit stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky!” His colleagues and fellow young-party leaders did not see the humour in the sentiment expressed in the postcard. Ludvik finds himself expelled from the party and college and drafted to a part of the Czech military where alleged subversives form work brigades and spend the next few years working in mines.

    . . . .

    “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”

      Alex,
      An excellent list. I have only a couple of points to make. Your first item on the list could result in Bill Clinton and some prominent lefties being taken down , which would be marvellous , so I am not yet sick to death of it. Of course I accept that there will be collateral damage amongst the innocent but that is the price of war. My last point is that we only know about some of the sickness because the BBC keeps pushing them 24/7. Therefore I think the foul corporation should be first on your list of sickeners.

      The BBC is full of marxists, whose main aim is to destroy capitalism and install global socialism. One can destroy capitalism by loading its wealth production with tens of millions of immigrants from Africa and Muslim countries. These people will not be wealth creators but wealth consumers. Bit by bit, the system will fail, and capitalism will get the blame. One can see its fruits in the NHS.

      One part of this policy is to make Blacks and Muslims appear as if they have always been a part of the West, and its success.

      My argument is that the BBC are not racists, even in this context, but actually marxists, who are using “race” (Islam too is a race in this policy mix), to destroy capitalism – in the West anyway.

      Capitalism will not be destroyed though- it will simply be adopted by China, India, and Asia.

      The BBC’s political stance is summed up by the fact they are essentially Guardian readers.

      Agreed. But would any sensible woman work as hard as a man when she another option – that of creating and being the CEO of a family. A far more rewarding and less stressful occupation that leaves plenty of time to network with women in general and church groups.

      Men have no option but to work. And work they do without taking time off for pregnancies, maternal leave, and other reasons that women get. And boy they work, without a quibble and moan – in hard and dangerous places.

      So yes – equal pay for equal work – that includes sports too. No more womens sections in professional sports. Sport these days is just another profession..

      Alex – It is interesting that in WW2 the majority of allied combatants fighting the axis forces were on the whole male and pale. Many of them did not get a chance to become too “stale” because they never came home.

      Funny how in those days when the Western Democracies were being ripped apart – being male and pale didnt seem to matter quite so much. Still I guess in these more “enlightened” days of transgenderism and gender reassignment – If a politician really wants to get on I suppose he can get himself a nice shiny new “designer vagina” and a pair of “Golden Globes” curtesy of the NHS.

      Alex
      You won’t get very far with the idea of “racism against whites” with a marxist organisation like the BBC. The leftist loons have already invented a pseudotheory to explain it away.

      “The “reverse racism” card is often pulled by white people when people of color call out racism and discrimination, or create spaces for themselves (think BET) that white people aren’t a part of. The impulse behind the reverse racism argument seems to be a desire to prove that people of color don’t have it that bad, they’re not the only ones that are put at a disadvantage or targeted because of their race. It’s like the Racism Olympics. And it’s patently untrue.

      It really all comes down to semantics. At some point, the actual meaning of “racism” got mixed up with other aspects of racism ― prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, and so on. It’s true: White people can experience prejudice from black people and other non-whites. Black people can have ignorant, backwards ideas about white people, as well as other non-white races. No one is trying to deny that. But racism is far more complex.”

      As these ideas have now been incorporated into law, a peculiar misere version of the Nuremberg laws in Nazi Germany, white people can be transduced with impunity by any member of a “minority commuity”. The same applies to “sexism”

    I listened to the Amol Vine show this lunchtime, the first item was Toby Young falling / being shoved onto his sword.
    James Delingpole, discussed it with Diversity Hireling and a woman from The Guardian.
    Delingpole was very unimpressive, he seems to struggle to get his words out in debate and has a scattergun approach; instead of picking one point and driving it home before doing the same with another he tries to throw the kitchen sink in, as well as all the cabinets, the first chance he gets.

    I like J.D. and enjoy his articles and podcasts very much but he really needs some lessons from J R-M on how to debate; he should watch the HardTalk starring the Mogginator, which proved to be a very hard interview indeed for Stephen Sackur.

        PbyN, the riposte by Gorka was both logical and clinical, although he hardly applied himself to the task and left Maitless looking very very small and inconsequential.
        The normal shite night tactics applied however when a second guest was introduced, fielding many of the same questions and providing a much more favourable outcome of shit throwing/sticking against Trump. They always end with the right words from the correct mindset to ensure these are the words that linger longest…………..
        Shameless and embarrassing tosh dressed as ‘news’.
        Oh and the BBC namecheck alongside CNN – absolute classic.

    The LEAD story on Five Live is allegations of bullying and racism against Peter Beardsley. They have a reporter on the scene saying he once told two black players about to use a climbing frame that they should be good at climbing! What? I would struggle to see the racism in that.

    Are we living in a permanent episode of Brass Eye?

    What about the six stabbings so far this year and the four on New Year’s Eve? Where is the outrage? Why not harangue Khan and demand he resign unless he come up with a plan to stop this carnage? All these predominantly BAME individuals being killed and the BBC is LEADING with someone being accused of once hurting someone’s feelings? They are absolutely bonkers.

Personally I could care less because if they cant stop and search without filling in a load of forms they might as well all go home and leave control of the street to the diverse population and get ready for full on -“no go areas “ for whitee .

    Of course they are all masturbating in a circle over the introduction of the Rooney rule. Perhaps black men overall would rather be players than managers? They always say any disparity is due to ‘racism’ and never choices that groups make. More Asians choose to go into medicine than whites, so what? Should we have a whole inquiry into medicine being institutionally racist against white people? Or should we just accept that different groups make different choices, diversity being the spice of life? The idea of equality of outcomes is absolutely ridiculous yet gospel for the BBC.

    Managing is a God-forsaken job. Maybe many black players would just rather not go into it. It is a hundred times the hassle and responsibility of playing for less money. Black men are over represented as players and it is much better to play than manage.

      This obsession our PC overlords have that the races must be found in every profession in numbers proportional to their percentage of the population at large – well, it’s absurd. Behind it all is an unwillingness to admit that the races differ physically, temperamentally and intellectually.
      The reason blacks are under-represented in coaching is because the personal qualities required for the job are not as common in blacks as in whites. But to recognise this one might have to concede that – at least in some respects – the white race is superior to the black. That can never be admitted or be allowed to become apparent. (Although it’s okay, when it comes to basketball, running marathons or singing in harmony, to admit the opposite.) And so ever more ridiculous rules and regulations keep being drawn up to fight the eternally elusive phantom of racism.

        I, probably in line with most on this site, would hate to see a female or BAME lose out on a job purely because of their sex or ethnicity (all else being equal). It never happened in my 30 odd years in gas engineering to my knowledge. However, positive discrimination can never be acceptable as you will always have to accept second (or third) best and the spiral starts downward to an ever lowering of standards and quality. This is surely self evident even to dumbest of libtards.

    As well as disliking BBC bias I also dislike quack doctors and came across this BBC story the other day on a alt medicine blog

    “The cancer industry is a medical conspiracy against humanity” (The Turmeric story)
    http://edzardernst.com/2018/01/the-cancer-industry-is-a-medical-conspiracy-against-humanity-the-turmeric-story/#comments

    The article is highly critical of the beebs report

    “The story is based on one single patient who apparently was cured of cancer using curcumin (turmeric). The case was also recently (3/1/18) featured on BBC’s ‘YOU AND YOURS’ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09k0ng7) in a similarly uncritical way: no expert was asked to provide an evidence-based assessment and bring some reason into the discussion.”

    Sounds what is now typical of the majority of BBC journalism.
    In the comments section

    “I heard this programme and thought it was deplorable. They said they contacted several doctors to appear but found none willing. In which case, they should have postponed the transmission until they did find someone available to talk sense. It’s not as if it was a hot issue; the case report was published in April, 2017!”

    “We cannot know how many people will be misled by the BBC’s uncritical reporting of this (alleged) story, but given the popularity and esteem of Radio 4, I think it is likely that many patients will waste their time and money on curcumin pills* – and there’s real risk that some will forgo or limit conventional (most effective) treatment as a consequence.
    *The woman who makes the claims about curcumin and her condition advised that the raw spice is inadequate and instead pills are required – which she admitted are very expensive.”

    Culture clash, literally: the Standard reports a gay/trans (I can’t keep up) man was severely beaten outside a nightclub. He was wearing a dress, fishnets and tights. It’ll be interesting how the beeb covers this. The man was a tv producer who worked for the beeb AND gay/ trans/ lgbt/ xyz whatever. So al beeb should be all over the story and on his side. But the assailant was ‘black or asian’, 2 groups who can do no wrong in the beeb’s eyes.

    SAY ‘NO’ TO BEEB RACISM! IF ‘BEING OFFENDED’ IS THEIR LANGUAGE, LET US BE OFFENDED! I complained about Norman Smith’s racism, sexism, ageism today. I asked for a reply. We all need to complain! Ever more anti-white, without actually saying so. Ok, let’s pull them up for racism.
    CAN WE SUE? Once we’ve complained, under the heading of ‘Offence’ (you will be asked), let’s see where it goes. Common sense will say we can’t sue. But we don’t live in a world of common sense anymore. We need to adapt, use the language of the crazies, if we have to. Depending on their response, I will respond. This is a game that two can play. I await their reply. We can all write to them and demand a reply. I get the impression their lives are much too cozy. Witness little miss huffy-pie, who wasn’t happy with a £45k increase (of OUR money)!
    And I will research. In the crazy world where common sense does not hold sway, I will find out whether I too, can be offended by Beeb RACISM and GENDER DISCRIMINATION. I shall find out where equality legislation takes me, what it really means. Let’s all do it. Then we shall see…
    One last appeal: There is strength in numbers. Do not lose heart! Do not go to entertainment and stop watching them. They would love that. We shall fight…and we shall NEVER SURRENDER. They say they want equality and fairness? GOOD. So do we! NEVER GET BORED! NEVER SURRENDER!

They are the ones causing what they call’ discrimination’ and creating division. We must start using their approach – if not we have to hope that the younger generation will have their eyes opened….

    Here is an interesting piece of information which the BBC choose to ignore frequently, and sometimes even lie about it.

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2010/sep/05/men-victims-domestic-violence

    More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, report reveal

    Campaign group Parity claims assaults by wives and girlfriends are often ignored by police and media (BBC?)

    There 7500 places for women who have suffered domestic violence, and yet there are just 60 for men.

    The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey | 2010 Findings on Victimization by Sexual Orientation clarifies this a little more.

    Click to access nisvs_sofindings.pdf

    61% bisexual women
    44% lesbians
    37% bisexual men
    35% heterosexual women
    29% heterosexual men
    26% gays

    So who was it who battered all those Lesbians?? Who battered the Hetrosexual men ?

    Listening to the BBC and other media you wouldn’t think butter would melt in women’s mouths, thanks to the feminazi lobby who blame men for everything, and yet the figures don’t lie, women are at least as bad if not worse than men for violence, and though most probably aren’t capable of doing as much physical damage they aren’t as guiltless as the media would have you believe.

      Taffy – It would be nice to think so – but at the end of the day most of these “right on bastards” value their bank balance more than their integrity.

      Its just the same with all of these rich, sanctimonious – multi homed celebs who were quick to lecture us about housing all of these “refuges” at public expense (some even offering rooms) but when it came down to it – they all suddenly become evasive when the subject is raised.

      There may be a few hardliners from “Wimmins hour” but on the whole I expect the machine will just keep on rolling .

      What I do however think is quite amusing is that the main issue as we all know isnt the pay differentials it is the disgusting amount of money the BBC pays its “talent” for basically just reading an auto cue.

      I think they thought that by changing the emphasis from the general revulsion at BBC salaries to male/female pay differentials that they would suffer less flack. Whilst this may work with the chattering classes I suspect that if you are say a carer earning eight quid an hour (some of it anti social hours) I expect having to listen to some champagne socialist whinging on that X earns 90 grand more than my 150 grand salary because he is a bloke and its “not fair” is not going to engender much sympathy for either the BBC as a whole or the whinging, spoilt, over entitled ingrates that inhabit this organisation.

      Fortunately this whole issue is turning into a running sore – I think I will now pop out and buy some shares in Amazon Prime or Netflix.

    Two things of note on News-shite: 1) They actually acknowledged there’s a culture war raging in this country (with thoroughly biased Evan Davis pretending unsuccessfully to play the honest broker in a studio debate, but let that pass).

    2) During a piece on Iran, one of the Newshite journos presented the Sufi Order as “a peaceful branch of Islam”, thereby inadvertently implying that the other branches are not peaceful. Which is blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain – when they’re not murdering infidels they’re slaughtering each other – but a major, if accidental, admission by al beebistan.

    The bBC, Julian Assange and half a story
    Currently the bBC is reporting on JA and his self imposed prison sentence inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
    Julian Assange: Ecuador seeks mediator in ‘unsustainable’ standoff
    In a nutshell the bBC says, UK bad, USA bad, Sweden bad, JA victim, Ecuador says he should be set free.

    And here is how other news-agencies are reporting the above:
    South America :
    Ecuador Seeks Third Party to Mediate ‘Safe Passage’ for Assanget
    The Ecuadorean president warned Assange to refrain from commenting on politics of the nation’s allies After living five years behind the safety of Ecuador’s London embassy, Julian Assange may be in for a change of scenery.
    US
    Julian Assange might be getting kicked out of Ecuador’s embassy
    Exiled WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may be about to get the boot from Ecuador’s embassy in London. The country’s foreign minister indicated Tuesday that her government is actively seeking someone to take the outspoken refugee off its hands, given the “untenable” situation. Assange has been taking refuge at the embassy for the past five years. But he recently landed in hot water with Ecuadorean officials for speaking out against some of its allies, including Spain over human rights issues.
    London
    Ecuador could kick Julian Assange out of London embassy as foreign minister says situation ‘not sustainable’
    Ecuador is considering kicking Julian Assange out of its embassy in London.

    All of the above is due to JA involvement in politics. Ecuador’s recently elected president Lenin Moreno has issued several warnings to him asking him to refrain from commenting on politics, relating to Ecuador’s allies. In a September tweet, Assange responded to the requests, saying, “If President Moreno wants to gag my reporting of human rights abuses in Spain he should say so explicitly—together with the legal basis.”

    So JA has bit the hand that feeds him (As so many of his former supporters have found out) and he may be getting the boot for doing so, yet the bBC version makes no mention of that.

    The bBC, reporting half the story as always in which to promote their leftwing bent.
    (The irony here is Telesur (South American link above) which first reported this story is a socialist, multi-State funded, pan–Latin American terrestrial and satellite television network sponsored by the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and Bolivia that is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela, in others words it is a socialist mouthpiece and yet, it reports the news, unlike the bBC)

    The modern witch hunt/McCarthyism is especially chilling in the age of the internet and social media, when so many leave details of their lives online. Who has not watched porn when they shouldn’t have, made on off-key joke or touched a woman? If heads are rolling for as little as once hurting someone’s feelings then soon we will have nobody left to govern us.

    The result of all this will not be more virtuous citizens, but soulless, lifeless drones who are too terrified to say or do anything.

    If only our national broadcaster could be a cool and calm port in a storm, urging restraint and a degree of sanity. But of course they are at the forefront of it all – anything for a chance to bring down an evil Tory, show virtue and distract from all the terrible things happening they are obliged to report on but instead just ignore. Who guards the guardians? We certainly cannot trust the BBC to look after us and everyone can see that.

      Media Village People reforming? And pink camouflage looks FABULOUS… as you lie inert in the snow, sand or jungle.

        GW,
        When I was in the Army I completed 2 tours in the Middle East.
        At that time the SAS used land rovers painted pink (pink panthers)
        They were surprisingly good camouflaged vehicles, the pink fitting in with the sand colour.

    Quite right, Beeb.

    Couldn’t believe that snake-oil sakesman Blair admitting – unwittingly – that remoaners didn’t understand what they were voting for. Humphrys had him by the goolies.

    News: Plastic bags to be charged for in all shops.

    Theresa May, your post-June 2017 Government already has an air of complete desperation about it that took John Major over eighteen months to develop for his after the 1992 General Election.

    Al Beeb is reporting how a pub in the north of England has been told to change its advertising about a German themed night. This is because it trivises the nazis and Second World War.
    As we know – the advertising Standards Authority was at the forefront of defending Britain throughout The war and was chiefly responsible for the defeat of nazism

    The adverting standards authority sounds overfunded like al Beeb. People won that war in order to have the freedom to take the piss out of the Reich / krauts whenever is chooses without getting a single ticket to a converted shower room….

      Not sure which part of the country you come from, Fed, but you may enjoy this!

      Shep’s is probably the best beer around here in Kent, (if you don’t count Harveys of Lewes that is…)!

      Have this on me!

          You’re very welcome, Fed!

          Trouble is these days, I can’t sink a gallon like I used to, so it’s quality over quantity!

          I actually grew up in a Guinness home, dad was their engineer, and that started the fun really…

          The other half…?

    Pollution hotspots revealed courtesy of the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-42566393

    “Marylebone Road and Hyde Park Corner, both in central London, have the most polluted postcodes in Britain, says a new study on air quality.”

    And what is the majority of powered traffic there, BBC?

    “Diesel vehicles”

    What sort of diesel vehicles?

    “One of the biggest sources of pollution is NO2 from car exhausts”

    Really? What no taxis, vans, buses and lorries?

    FakeNews/FalseNews from the BBC?

    Page 7 of the Times today: Isis follower had plan to ‘blow up smart people.’

    A vibrant young self-starter calling himself ‘Captain the Illiterate’ planned to blow up people in London. As an unintelligent man, he was jealous of clever people.

    You have to read between the lines to find out what is actually going on in our country. In-breeding is a massive problem in certain ROP communities; it can often lead to offspring with an IQ far below average. Of course our cowardly leaders ‘tolerate’ this when it is minorities who suffer the most from it. Growing up intellectually subnormal in a society that rewards intelligence must lead to so much resentment. How many of these gang rapists felt no sympathy for their victims because of this resentment, and chose to pimp children because they were too stupid to do anything else?

    I wonder if Panorama will run an investigation into the problems caused by first cousin marriage?

    So today the bBBC reluctantly report that Lee Nak-Yeon, South Korea’s prime minister, has give credit to President Donald Trump for bringing about the first peace talks between north and South Korea in many years.
    This is something that the BBC previously failed to acknowledge.
    Had the POTUS not taken such a tough stance and stood up to the sabre rattling I’m sure this would never have happened.
    Still they bring on interviewees suggesting that the president is dangerous and volatile and should not be so apparently ready to use nuclear weapons.
    I beg to differ. It’s President Trumps apparent readiness which has brought about North Korea’s change of tact in my opinion.

      Manufacturing output is also at a ten year high.

      The PM probably needs to redeploy all those Army snowflake counsellors to W1A.

      I agree. Appeasement and soft words don’t work with bullies. You have to fight them with the same intimidatory tactics that they use, as this is the only language and interaction that they understand.

      Hence, as juvenile as it might seem to some, responding to rocket man with crazy tough talk is exactly what is needed to make Kim Jong think ‘Christ, Trump actually COULD be mad enough to do something to me.

    Possibly the greatest export from the Middle East ….

    “If we don’t have preventative measures to make us immune from radicalisation, then we will end up like Muslim communities in Europe and the UK which have a significant problem with extremism.

    “We need to ensure that certain things are taught in Islamic weekend schools – that young people are equipped with the necessary knowledge to interpret Islam correctly and know it is not violent.”

    UK extremists may try to radicalise Irish Muslims – cleric : Islamic community in Ireland needs to be vigilant, Dr Umar Al-Qadri says {irishtimes 19jan2016}

    . . . .

    0. Islam asks you to have zero thought about its origins and practices. And make zero comparisons with successful cultures.

    1. Islam asks for one simple thing. Islam asks for everything – finance, religion, police, morals, schools, law, food, science, clothes, art and your body to be Islamic.

    2. Islam only has two problems – Muhammed and Mohammed. Once the first problem has been solved then the second one can be solved easily.

    3. Islam offers three things. In the Koran it offers Peace, War and then a Continuation of War. In your life Islam wants you to subjugate yourself, subjugate your family and then subjugate everyone else.
