‘One lesson well understood in both Stalin’s Russia and Nazi Germany was that propaganda is most effective when it is backed by terror’

Remarkable what a few bombings, throat cuttings and drive-over murders can do, by fortuitous mischance, for the Muslim community, which of course condemns utterly the terror attacks…but still, eh, why not reap the benefits as the red carpet is laid out with everyone bending over backwards not to ‘offend’ them and to make sure they have every opportunity to exploit the appeasement?  The terrorists are not Muslims, they pervert a great religion which is a religion of peace…and yet we are told that if Muslims are not appeased they will become radicalised and become terrorists…and yet…the terrorists are not Muslim?

Niall Fergusson in the Sunday Times….

We let Lenin rise, millions died.  Now it’s Islamism.

The West failed to stop communism and is repeating the awful blunder.

I fear that we shall wake with a start to discover that the Islamists have repeated the Bolshevik achievement, which was to acquire the resources and capability to threaten our existence.

Just another day on the BBC, just another programme about Muslims, just another day when we are supposed to learn how wonderful and ‘just like us’ Muslims are.  A sleight of hand, so to speak, because of course the problem is with Islamism the ideology and those who observe its strict and oppressive tenets rigorously and completely…..Islamism being totally at odds with Western, Christian, democratic, liberal society.

The programme brings us Mehreen Baig whom you may remember from ‘Muslims like us’, a programme that failed utterly in its intended purpose to act as a vehicle for pro-Muslim propaganda…instead it confirmed everything we ever thought about Islam and what goes on in the Muslim community.  Notable was that Baig fell under the spell of the infamous Islamist in the programme and was always making googly eyes at him….despite his fanaticism and her supposed liberal attitude.  What we saw was that ‘liberal’ Muslims were Muslim first and that it didn’t take much for them to start attacking Britain and British history.  We also saw that the liberal Muslims soon caved in to the radicals giving up any argument and retreating into silence.  The programme was a perfect microcosm of what happens in the real community as determined, intimidatory conservative Muslims enforce strict observance of the ideology upon everyone…non-Muslims as well it seems judging by the BBC’s appeasement….and of course the Trojan Horse plot.

Still, a bit of balance with ‘Fascists like us’  on the BBC next week….making the case that Fascists are misunderstood, marginalised and disenfranchised and really should be allowed to practice their ideology freely without condemnation or abuse.  No?

List the bias here…..

      When the Woolwich murderer posed to cameras covered in blood with a meat cleaver in his hand, and declared ‘You will never know peace!’ I thought the PR for multiculturalism might take a hit.

      Your brain naturally over-emphasises extreme events like this. So many will have that image seared into their memories; a million bs positive stories could have erase it.

        As the Muslim population increases, attacks will get more frequent, with “moderate“ Muslim demands that the state give more to the “marginalised” Muslim youth, or they will become even more radicalised. And so on. The more you give to the so-called moderates, the more our society will become Islamic. Moderate and radical Muslims play the good cop bad cop routine. Final stop, 50 years or less, Sharia is declared the law of the land via parliament.

        There is no hope for the West. Due to the mind boggling stupidity and ignorance of our politicians, Islam will rule Christendom – a goal and dream that Islam has had since its inception.

        The only way is not mild resistance but to let events continue till a civil war is the only option.

          Their tactics are frighteningly effective. Nobody says anything to offend them in case they kick off. We should have come down hard on them over the Rushdie affair but our politicians are cowards; now they know we can be bullied.

          My brat nephew employs similar tactics. If I do not give him what he wants he throws a spectacular tantrum and starts hitting me and his brother and is generally unbeatable. You soon learn it is easier to just give him what he wants, though long-term he may well turn into a monster as a result. Politicians rarely think of the long term. They just want a cushy life while they are in power and leave future leaders to clear up the mess.

            Hate crime figures leaked by police in Germany have caused alarm, as they revealed murder, assault, and arson numbering among almost 100 attacks which targeted Christians in 2017.
            Published by the Funke media group several months before annual crime statistics are due to be officially released, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) data showed attacks on churches and Christian symbols accounted for a quarter of the 97 cases.

            At least 14 of the cases in the report involved asylum seekers and refugees, including the murder of an Afghan Christian convert by a fellow Afghan in May last year which prompted politicians to urge the BKA to record “anti-Christian crimes” separately for the first time.

          Yes, you are absolutely right.
          We have seen the same thing played out with Irish nationalism.
          The SDLP were (are?) a moderate non-violent Irish nationalist party but seemed to be largely ignored. Sinn Fein posed as a “party of the ballot box”, moderates who the UK government could engage with without seeming to bow to violence. Of course everyone knew violence would intensify if Sinn Fein demands were ignored as the organisations were, as George Galloway would say, two cheeeks of the same arse. The Irish nationalist community is to the IRA/ INLA etc. what the muslim community is to the various Jihadist groups. There may have been some Irish nationalists who opposed the use of violence to obtain a united Ireland, but there were many more who claimed to be for nonviolence, i.e. Sinn Fein but would not condemn acts of terrorism by the IRA. We have seen the same response from so called moderate muslims. As Douglas Murray says why should anyone expect the British government to handle muslim terrorism any differently to the way it handled Irish terrorism. Sinn Feinn/IRA ends up playing a key role in the NI government. You can see this happening in Londinistan and other Ministans where muslims wiil eventually become the majority population. Once that happens there will be demands for various culturally appropriate changes to law enforcement at first, then demands for more and more obvious forms of self government. All helped along by atrocities which have nothing to do with Islam.

            The only hope I have is that Muslims accelerate their demands verbally and by terrorism, leaving no option but a civil war – Bosnia type, but with no partitions on offer- win or lose. No quarter given or accepted.

        I’m amazed that women who have this gift of being the CEO of a family for life, for just being women, prefer to be wage slaves on a shop floor.

        Or is it that women have had to go to work because unlimited mass migration has reduced men’s wages, forcing women to become wage slaves.

        Mass immigration can thus be blamed not just for importing the cancer of Islam, and ensuing terrorism and rapes, but the breakdown of the family, increased divorce rates, fall in standards of education, and general breakdown of law and order.

        This is how the destruction of a nation starts. Mass immigration of a unassimalable culture under the guise of multicultism.

        To reverse it, one has to reverse mass immigration.

        No wonder leftists totalitarian thugs hate Pres Trump.

          I find it all so counter-productive as well. I have never been racist; I’ve served with many other ethnicities, lived next door to and happily played golf with them as well. But I think this is all driving me to dislike them as a group to the point of being called a racist. I would suggest an analogy. If you had a co-worker who got all the best jobs, was praised without good reason, got held up to clients as the ideal employee purely because, say, they had red hair and got promoted without merit what would most people think towards that guy? If the employee took advantage of all this, I’m pretty sure he/she would not have too many friends. Now make that same person BAME and guess what – you’re a racist!

          As set out in the BBC Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, these guidelines put a particular emphasis on our commitment to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people, disabled people, those identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), and on ensuring gender balance.
          In addition, we are setting stronger objectives to improve our geographical portrayal across the UK to ensure we better capture and celebrate the distinct stories and lives across all four Nations.

    Headline: What language would you like to learn?
    Can you speak another language? Well a new report says that more of us should learn other languages, especially as the Britain is about to leave the club of countries called the European Union. So we went to a school to find out which languages these kids know, and why they think it matters.

    So the BBC just happen to stumble on a class of six children, one black child and five Muslim children. The languages they were able to speak were German, Urdu x 2 (Pakistan Muslim), Arabic, Somali (99.9% Islam – the child Muhamed gives us an Arabic welcome), Bengali (Bangladesh Muslim).

Why raping children and threatening to or actually committing mass murder causes some to fear Islam? How some cultures not valuing education and not working hard at school means their children are less likely to study at Oxford?

        This was on the Today programme Monday morning. Justin ‘s solution to part time work was more child care. The idea that mothers might want to spend time raising their children didn’t occur to him.
        But if you look at highly paid doctors, the women want to be part time and more women are trained as doctors than men these days. It costs the same to train a doctor whether they are full or part time. The same goes for training for other jobs, and private businesses will take that into account when deciding whether a job can be part time.

          It costs a fortune to train a doctor. Women are over-represented in medicine and more often choose to work part-time. If fewer women became doctors there would surely be more hours worked by doctors at the NHS and more work in proportion to the money spent on training?

          Alas, such obvious solutions are wrongthink.

          Why do they only look at the narrow angle of money? Many people who look after children for a living are morons. The first few years are crucial for a child’s development. Any loss in earnings would be worth it to have a child grow up happy and cared for. My brother used to have nannies look after his children and they were horrible to the boys.

          As Jordan B Peterson says, ideologies are low resolution views of reality. Raising a child is extremely complex; to say any disparities in income is ‘oppression’ is moronic and reductive. My brother’s wife was more oppressed having to leave her baby in the care of some moron than by any loss of earnings. Why deny a mother that golden time with a new born child?

No it was a struggle but as I managed to improve my position so the family prospered but again I never earned anywhere near what the top management earn today or indeed some sports people, almost obscene-certainly offensive to those that give somuch to our spoiled society in so many ways for often little reward.

Had heard that quote before, but didn’t realise where it came from, it fits with their ideology though. The Jesuit reductions in Argentina and Paraguay are particularly poignant.

                    That quote particularly resonates with me as I’m a single parent (yes, a single Dad, we are a very small, and often ignored, minority, but we do exist).

                    For reasons I don’t want to go in to here, I was left with sole care of my two boys when the youngest was two. Faced with a tough decision, I chose to leave my career (which was quite ‘high flying’ and demanding, I guess), to spend time with them while they were young and didn’t have a mother around. As there was no real part time work locally, I set up my first business so I could work around them. Now they’re at Secondary I’m on to my second business working from home, which just about pays the bills and keeps me sane, but will never make me rich. I can say though, I’ve never had a penny of help from the state, my parents have helped me out, but not the state – I don’t understand these people who work as nurses, for example, and still claim to be too poor to buy food for their children… in fact it’s a lie, isn’t it?

                    My boys are both in top sets for all the more academic subjects, and I usually get told how well behaved and ‘mature’ they are. They aren’t angels, of course, but they are well balanced, hard working, and socially aware. By the time they’re independent I’ll be too old to go back to what I used to do, so they are my career, do I have any regrets about it? …. NO. Do I moan about some imaginary ‘pay gap’ (more like a chasm) between me and my old work mates? No, of course not, they earn every penny they make, and I made my choice and don’t feel the poorer for it.

            A wife and mother is the CEO of the family. She gets this top job without having to apply for it. It is hers if she wants it.

            All final decisions are hers. The husband may bring in the salary, but it is she who decides where it is spent and when. She moves from mother to grandmother, and her CEO position is extended even more to end of life.

            To me its is amazing that feminists have convinced women that being a wage slave on a factory floor is better.

      Shut it down and use the money on the NHS. On second thoughts no: because it can never be enough. Instead use it to support talented people with ambition to become business builders who create jobs for working people and engineers,scientists,surgeons,physicists,soldiers ,sailors,pilots,carpenters,bricklayers,plumbers,electricians,plasterers,coal miners,scaffolders, etc.etc. and all those other unsung working heroes who enrich all our lives with their skills and dedication in doing the best job that they know how. Cut all public spending on show biz careers. It’s an overcrowded self centered profession that largely bores the pants off me.As does the PC and climate change industries(for industries are what they are– a totally unnecessary concern which incidentally have made a handful of people extremely rich and powerful) I doubt that (in my opinion)the greatest ever music genius/composer J.S Bach ever had a government subsidy but here we are 400 years plus after the great man’s death and he is still recognized as one of the all time top classical composers. All of the above mentioned (and others ) deserve public support and admiration instead of the vacuous,shallow twaddle fed to us by our M.S.M. which no longer carries out its mandate to inform, to educate and to entertain us. It has become instead a left wing propaganda machine to dumb us all down. I have to tell them that with me they haven’t succeeded

        There is also benefit in erring on the cryptic, which I have found most lefties don’t get and open themselves up to a whole new thread if they kick off. Or if they do it’s usually in a ‘so what you are saying is’ Newmanesque attempt, which is easily dealt with by pointing out they are they ones who actually said it and terminating the conversation from that point.

      An article by Martin Howe QC, Chairman of Lawyers for Britain, summarises the political and economic reasons why we should not be in “the” Customs Union, “a” customs union, or “aligned with” or “shadowing” the Customs Union.

      “ … Staying inside the EU Customs Union after ceasing to be a Member State would necessarily entail a severe and continuing curtailment of the UK’s powers to govern itself as an independent state and would subject it to the continuing effective jurisdiction of the ECJ.”
      http://brexitcentral.com/remaining-eu-customs-union-brexit-political-economic-disaster/

      One of Starmer’s six “tests” for Labour supporting the so-called final deal is “a deal with the European Union that retains the benefits of the single market and the customs union”. Semantics.

      I hope JRM remembers saying that not being under the jurisdiction of the ECJ is his “reddest of red lines.”

    It is interesting to look at their Facebook page.

    Firstly, so much of their ‘news’ is fluffy twaddle: some men are wearing male-up; a comedian said a joke; cold weather in winter.

    Secondly so many comments are against their narrative. Trump’s attacks have really hit home as nobody accepts anything they say at face value. They have a typical emotive piece about Belgium failing asylum seekers and the comments nearly all say European counties should look after their own people first, that incomers are bringing crime and other problems.

    It is the same with their post about the ‘pay gap.’ Loads of women sticking up for men as well! Nobody is buying their bullshit anymore – it is glorious! Shame they still pump out torrents of it and we have to pay for the privilege of being lied to.

    So he’s helping his own, all very worthy, but how the story suits al beeb’s agenda: Look how compassionate this muslim is (well, to fellow muslims at least) and look how sad the migrants’ plight is.

    (Personally I’d be so much more impressed if some British muslims drove to the Middle East to help the Christians being victimised and massacred there daily.)

    A biased short video of giggling young white Brits being useless as cabbage picking with about 15 mentions of how great the migrants are compared to the brits. We never get to see the faster migrant team at work so we have to take the BBCs words that the Brit team are crap.

    Of course the whole tone of the video is “how will we cope without migrants?” and “Brexit is bad for that one farmer’s profits”.

    I assume the BBC will do a follow up video on “how migrants live 40 adults to a house on minimum wage and how it is modern day slavery”.

    Whilst being a big fan of Cyrille Regis and all that he achieved for black footballers, the BBC’s OTT coverage of tributes at football grounds up and down the country has been oh so predictable and yet another opportunity for them to remind us what a nation of rabid racists we were back in the day (and still are in the eyes of most Beeboids).

    However it reached a new low of self-parody on Match of the Day on Saturday when their commentator at The Hawthorns (when the BBC finally got to showing us the match after extended coverage of the Regis tributes), noticed the temperature was three degrees: ‘Somewhat apt in the circumstances’ he observed.

I had actually taken a screenshot of the temperature on my phone on Saturday afternoon and tweeted it ( I do do Twitter, but basically to talk to other West Brom fans), but I did it out of a genuine grief for Cyrille. They were exactly the same on Midlands Today on the day of his funeral, there was some black female sports reporter I had never heard of before saying how digustingly racist my home town was in the 1964 General Election and how racist football fans were. Nothing about what a bloody great footballer and man he was( I met him when he was playing for us and he was lovely), just the racism angle.

      Contrast this with the end of Central News, which was a musical montage of shots of various times during the day and reduced me to tears, after the end of Midlands Today, I just thought typical bloody BBC, they’ve got to insert how racist us white people are and left me with a nasty taste in my mouth and dry eyed.

    The ECHR is the court that liberals in Europe are in love with because it permits family members to join migrants; it denies a country within its remit to remove a foreign national to his/her homeland if that would involve a breach of his/her human rights.

With the internet they are losing hearts and minds at breakneck speed because we can all learn their ideology is a house built on sand, the patently untrue idea that men and women are the same and all cultures and beliefs are of equal value – even worse, that minority cultures which bring little but misery are BETTER than Western culture which has, amongst myriad miraculous achievements, put men on the moon.

Feminists v transgenders v persons of colour v socialists v any other group that the BBC can turn into victims of white male oppression and then campaign on behalf of.

    The Sunday Night 10.00pm R4 hour-long news and discussion programme brought us the joys of listening to Sophie Walker, leader of the Women’s Equality Party (MPs 0; members 65,000?).
    With all the other parties committed to this concept, and PC almost prohibiting anything to be said to challenge it in ANY way in ANY conversation, and the BBC pushing it non-stop, I was surprised there was the need for such a party.
    Every now and then there was a slip of the tongue and ‘equality’ disappeared to be replaced by ‘power’, which is really what it’s about. (Same as any discussion on ‘sexual harassment’ it frequently morphs into a conversation about the number of women in the boardroom or women in parliament).
    Other than that it was noticeable that Sophie didn’t want ANY definition of ‘sexual harassment’, which was to be the basis of MP recall in the case of misdemeanours in parliament. So ANY accusation of sexual harassment and ZAP, you recall your MP, presumably to stand trial, without examining what the offending behaviour was, and whether it would have constituted S H. I suppose that will be decided by a panel of feminists, all dressed in black, with highly-polished jackboots?
    Cos as with offence, SH is anything that anyone decides it is. Or have I got it all wrong? (Hadn’t heard of the W E P until last night.)

    … ** I guess the missing words are ‘are not’ and they are talking about what the main causes are.

      After a few days his mother goes to a family event in Pakistan.
      Whilst she is there she gets a phone call to say he’s been kicked out. Kid says it was cos he was late once. The school said it was multiple reasons including on camera vandalism.
      Later she claims the school won’t speak to her , so she’ll keep him home from now on.

    It been an interesting week for the BBC. Not only is the BBC femail presenters ranting at the BBC’s failures to disclose huge payment differences toward the favoured few (sundry well paid male compounders of BBC Bias (allegedly) because they are worth it (as the Shampoo Ad says). Even bald faced lies are worth a bung at the BBC. And then what of the BBC dinner ladies of daytime TV? I say, pay them a premium! – and then send them all on a mission to China as (collective) foreign correspondent. Hours flexible of course. Its all ‘flexible’ contracts at the BBC and more flexible ‘the better’ to get the huge pay bonus and annual increases that the BBC elite enjoy (favourably for men) on just 3 days a week. Lord Haw Haw and Alan Yentob have both done rather well on a 3 day week. Ironically whilst the BBC moralise about equal pay ‘on Air’ they conceal that fact to staff for obvious reasons that some are paid a LOT more than others even doing the same job. As the TELEGRAPH rightly headlined it as the more the BBC denies any pay bias against women it just digs a bigger hole for itself as it denies BIAS of any kind. Which we all know is the biggest lie of all. How much any of them are ‘worth’ (on the ‘open market’ ) is very questionable as almost all of them would be on the comedy circuit or unemployed actors – so on benefits mainly. Working for the BBC is like winning the National Lottery for lefties and pay is a big factor in attracting the biggest lefties. So they are all eqaully bad so they should be paid the same (communal) wage. It will of course BANKRUPT the BBC to pay them all the same as the license fee is now expected to top well over – £200! and that could be interesting as the BBC flails itself to death by a thousand cuts. Equal pay is a double edged sword. Of course everyone at the BBC deserves the minimum wage + (thats about £300,000). I think they are worth-it as we shall see how they can afford it. Wage increases for all or a wage depression for this famous public sector quango?

      He mentioned that he was being wiretapped before election, but was obviously a grandiose fool, a deluded blowhard and a sociopathic fantasist, neurotic and vain.

    For example.
    Yesterdays “Sunday” show on Radio 4 had some piece of crap about what Jesus might have looked like. Didn`t hear it-why would I?
    But got the idea that Posh Edward Stourton found it absorbing and controversial.
    Ed finished the piece and asked Catholic Big Prig Vince Nichols what HE thought. Vince spoke of all manner of stuff re Gods glory in Jesus` face, price of photographic paper back in Judea way back etc…well, I`m ad-libbing here, maybe?
    But Ed loved it-and said that we out here might want to tell Ed what WE think-maybe less exalted than Vince though, yet worth a spot on Tony Harts God Gallery, if we get a parent to vouch for our efforts etc…
    Ed talks to Bishop, we may not be as clever about what Jesus looked like as Vincey boy, but come on you chaps-let the toffs like Ed and Vince have a butchers.

    Sorry for the long post — I’m a pretty mellow guy, boringly middle of the road, but this is outrageous: Britain First deputy Jayda Fransen ‘aggressive’ to Muslim.

    Who’s the victim of aggression? A guy whose brother was on trial for gang-raping a 16 year-old girl. (Let’s call him Guy). The aggression took place outside the court. Guy opines: “She was so aggressive, and so loud.” The trial is mentioned almost as an aside.

    Incident 2: ‘Bloke with Foreign Name’ (BBC blandly calls him a ‘witness’) asserts that Fransen was screaming and shouting. Witness was “so scared, I thought she was going to start fighting with me”. Aggressive, loud, angry woman again. So where did this take place? Outside 555 Pizza, which, the BBC helpfully informs us, Bloke with Foreign Name’s “friend owns”. Random pizza restaurant… eh BBC?

    No, actually it isn’t. The 16 year-old girl was gang-raped in the flat above 555 Pizza: the home of Guy’s brother. A man who had been charged with three counts of rape. So Bloke with Foreign Name’s friend = Guy’s brother. Dots connecting yet, BBC? No, of course they’re not.

    ———

    ‘Related topics’ linked at the end show: Ramsgate, Penge, Canterbury, Britain First. **NO LINK** to the original rape case. A case which resulted in convictions for 4 men who gang-raped a drunk, vulnerable 16 year old girl who had made the mistake of asking directions. A case in which — according to the Senior DI — the girl was “subjected to some of the most horrendous crimes imaginable”.

    If there is a more underhand way to bury important and relevant info, I’ve yet to see it.

    NB: Of course the BBC account of that trial (via Google) neglects to mention any of the rapists’ nationalities (all Afghan).

    https://news.sky.com/story/women-would-have-got-the-vote-earlier-if-not-for-suffragette-terrorists-11227772

    This morning the Sky web site offered the view of the historian Simon Webb on the Suffragette movement. He makes the case that they were violent, bombing terrorists who were out to cause physical harm. The Suffragettes actions delayed parliament being able to change the voting rights to allow women and 40% of men the right to vote.

    Brave historian and brave Sky you might think.

    Ah, by lunch time a rebuttal of those arguments was put up on the same web page. These were offered by Prof June Purvis, who’s emeritus professor of women’s and gender history at the University of Portsmouth. She also edits the journal Women’s History Review.

    Interesting why certain views are always challenged, and others sail through the media without having to have a rebuttal.

    BTW, I keep saying, but no one on the BBC seems to be listening, over 40% of men didn’t have the right to vote until the 1918 act. This was not just a woman’s issue, forced through by women against evil, smelly men.

    It is impossible to get excited and inspired by their message. Women get paid less if they work part-time! Well, that is a message to die for. I doubt their political videos could get 6 million views in a year, let alone for one interview like Peterson’s with Cathie Newman has.
