Tory MP Victoria Atkins fled Twitter due to the abuse she received and the BBC immediately headlined its bulletins with this breaking news….the same BBC that helped do so much to encourage the abuse of and disrespect for politicians, not only with its satire but with the vicious demonisation of Thatcher and Tories in general….and now it’s Trump in the firing line…literally. Much as the body parts of long departed Saints are paraded around the country the ghost of Jo Cox is resurrected by any politician wanting to impart how serious their own situation is, a bit of Jo Cox martyrdom gives a lovely bit of credence to their claims of living on death row as the looming threat of the Twitter mob darkens their lives. No mention of Stephen Timms being stabbed by a Muslim of course as this would distract from the narrative of a nasty bunch of fascist Brexiteers murdering all who oppose them. No mention that there is absolutely nothing new about death threats and attacks on politicians…not just threats of course….the BBC’s, and Corbyn’s favourite terrorists, tried to kill the whole Tory government in the Grand Hotel as well as many other attacks.
Ah well, let’s just forget history, or rewrite it if it’s too inconvenient for today’s narratives and agendas.
Spot the BBC trying to write the future….list it here…..
Would BBC’s Andrew Marr say that the EU does not have much control over the UK … wait, what is he saying here …
“… and mould the whole of Europe into a copy of Germany …. a good place to start is to ditch the easy historical comparison (ignore history and you will repeat it) … because Angela Merkel is a figure of our here and now and it’s vital to understand her better because she (Merkel) matters more to our future (UK) than, what, 95% of British Politicians.” – BBC’s Andrew Marr 2013
“The Making of Merkel with Andrew Marr BBC documentary 2013 about Angel Merkel imp politician” {youtube}
So what you are saying Andrew Marr, is that this is a very good reason to get out of the EU?

#BBCJustLikeBrexit …. Economic collapse: The real message of the fall of Troy {bbc.co.uk 08feb2018}

Brexit is going to be the real crunch in our battle against the progressive elite.
The entire political class is suspect and as for the liberal media and the corporate class their hostility is obvious.
We cannot afford to back down and give up on the Brexit we voted for.
This is now nothing to do with economics and jobs. It is about who really rules in this country. Shades of 1642 and all that means .
Is this correct?
When we leave the eu, ALL trade with them will cease.
That’s the message I’m getting from the likes of the bbc and the treasury as they push project fear 2.1

All our aircraft will be banned from the eu.
Isn’t wto rules about a 3% tariff and we will, in fact, be able to trade after all. It doesn’t sound like it the way all of the media are really pushing these latest leaks and Armageddon scenarios.
Oh, another thing, ‘leaks’ my arse.

SO wecan’t buy EU wine,Germanand French cars, etc. Businesses who manufacture these items are going to love that, as are New World winemakers as are Japanese car builders.
This is all very silly indeed. It is going to lead to a upsurge in anti EU nation feeling that could easily come to dominate politics here. Stubborn lot we are and if we feel threatened then who knows where we are heading.
The UN, George Soros and the rest of the world’s unelected political elite (including one H. Clinton) who know what’s best for the little people, make no secret of the fact their ambition is for a no-borders world ruled by a single world government.
Jose Manuel Barroso when EU President claimed that the EU is ‘the blueprint for a future world government’.

working at home – Have dedicated their lives to?? WTF it only happened recently unless they are soothsayers they ‘are dedicating’ their seemingly sad lives would be more appropriate
I watched this video and have yet to hear any sound rationale reason why these people want to stop Brexit..they piped up with normal phrases like I have a son and grand kids in context of freedom of movement- how on earth did they think people travel to the US and the Far East? It isn’t an issue..
This is sheer propaganda from the BBC and the headline at one point about support for Brexit dropping was deceitful..
Too right Pounce. Why didn’t they just let him go – Justin Trudeau recently said he wants more Africans and not Europeans
Guardian compare Jacob and Jeremy …
In these times of confusion, when even Labour can’t offer an unambiguous position on Brexit, conviction is nine tenths of the law. Rees-Mogg’s lofty righteousness is both his strength and his danger. His privilege underwrites his breezy political adventurism, but also his composure and grace under fire. He (Jacob) is Jeremy Corbyn’s equal in authenticity, but with added clarity.
So Jacob is Jeremy+? I.e. better than Jeremy!
Some good news amongst all the doom and gloom-laded BBC. Jordan B Peterson has gained over 100,000 followers on Twitter since C4’s ‘So you’re saying’ interview. Be interesting to see how often he’s invited onto current affairs programmes now – the left really don’t know how to handle him – apart from character assignation of course. But encouraging that his fact-based, scientific observations are gaining popularity. Advise anyone who wants a way to counter all those ridiculous arguments the left put out there, to follow him. Plenty of good content on youtube as well.

I should know!
Sadly, not having time to read all the comments here this morning, I’m quite sure (from what I’ve had time to read) that ‘Cheddar Man’ has been done to death here already and I don’t want to repeat what others have said.
However, I just wanted to add that as someone with a keen interest in history I’ve been following the recent theories of early human migration with some enthusiasm and am disgusted (but hardly surprised) with how this ‘breakthrough’ is being presented.
Following the currently perceived ‘correct narrative’ and DNA analysis, the first Homo sapiens (as opposed to Homo neanderthalensis) to live in the British Isles are believed to have been a now extinct race that had dark skin, light coloured eyes (probably blue, grey, or green), and quite different features to any modern race. ‘Cheddar Man’ seems to be further good evidence of this race living in Britain at the time. However, this racial ‘type’ is now considered long extinct, and are believed to have gone extinct not too long after this man died. Why they died out is unknown, although a popular theory is that they were much less ‘civilised’ than those who replaced them, reliant on hunting and gathering for food, rather than agriculture.
They were replaced at some point after the Neolithic Revolution (starting around 10,000 BC in today’s ‘Middle East’ and surrounding areas) by humans of totally different races/race, who brought with them agriculture and domesticated animals. Otzi the Iceman belonged to one of these later groups, which are all genetically similar to modern Europeans. Where, exactly modern Europeans evolved is impossible to say, some racial traits came from the Near East/Med and some from Scandinavia (modern blue eyes), and some from Ireland/Scotland (red hair). History, at least, gives some clue as to how the various components mingled over time.
Linking ‘Cheddar Man’ with any modern racial group is disingenuous, his race went extinct, their type are no longer found anywhere on Earth. We don’t know much about them either, in fact we know more about the earlier Neanderthals, who aren’t even considered the same species.
So, ‘Cheddar Man’ find: interesting historically and scientifically as representing rare evidence of an extinct race of human (the vast majority of human races that once existed are long extinct), but certainly no relevance whatsoever with regard to those races which still exist, to link them is scientifically illiterate – the equivalent to saying evidence of Dodos proves wild Turkeys once lived on Mauritius.
The ‘reconstruction’ which has been made looks suspiciously to me as if the sculptor has worked from pictures of West Africans, then just given him bright blue eyes. To me it clearly shows how much ‘artistic interpretation’ really goes into these ‘reconstructions’, rather than any rational science.
Political correctness is so reductive, a straight-jacket. It is like ‘the wage gap’ – there are countless angles and nuances rather than just ‘oppression.’ And obviously here the idea that this was 100% proof that we have always been part African was bound to be riddled with inconsistencies.
The great thing is few are falling for their bullshit anymore.
Given the agenda-fest that has followed on from this ‘revelation’, who’s to believe the findings at all?
Our cue for long-standing fake, agenda-driven science is ‘climate change’. Why should we believe this lot are any different and haven’t simply come up with the answer that fits their open borders, ‘nation of immigrants’ ideology?
So now we have all been sent the same reply (ahem, to save licence payers money) to our complaint about the awful Trump-Morgan cartoon. In a nutshell to paraphrase ‘the tone of this item would not have been unusual for ‘The Mash-up’s’ usual audience. Well, that’s okay innit, fucking whitewash. btw, you cannot reply to this mail, now fuck off you piece of uneducated shit.
Perhaps worth copying here:
Nope, that won’t do. That wasn’t “flattery” I saw. It was gross indecency. And the scheduling of the programme was irrelevant. I didn’t see it on the programme. That picture was put on BBC2’s Twitter account for all to see, at any time of the day. I wonder how they’d react if we all posted similarly indecent pictures to every BBC Twitter account?
Clearly, they intend to batten down the hatches and I for one don’t intend to let them away with it that easily.
If that was the case (satire!!!!) why didn’t they show the cartoon that was on the front page of Charlie Hebdoe? I think we all know the answer to that.
I wonder what the average age of the BBC Complaints Team is, or which Yuni they’ve ‘just’ graduated from.
A small dose of daily yawn politics – Brexit , krauts, having a new royalboat . Nothing about the old in care homes being mistreated or carers being flogged to death on the minimum wage or the care or lack of it for the growing numbers or ordinary British people (as many as one in 3 men and women) – like you dear reader – who will get this awful illness.
For those affected – you will understand my comment. I am not ignoring you either. ( declaration – I cared for a relative with dementia and know just how awful support is).
Oh yeah – daily politics – talking welsh in Parliament . Sorry welsh people – 3 million of you . 7 million jocks , 2 million? Northern Ireland and the rest English , foreigners – foreigner illegals .
There are more important things to separate us apart from language .
Pure selfishness. As I’m sure the BBC would be the first to tell you, the needs of ‘Syrian refugees’ (aka Pakistanis, Nigerians, Somalians, Romanians and Lord knows what else) must take priority.

How do you know you witnessed actual harassment? It is so easy to misinterpret. What if a married couple have just had an argument and the wife slaps her husband’s hand away? If a woman shakes her head to a man a hundred metres away is that ‘witnessing’ harassment? What constitutes harassment?

Just heard on World at One, the BBC journalist say the UK economy is good, “… helped by rapid growth around the world”. Odd, as economists keep saying the it is UK and US economies that are powering the world economy, not the other way around.

James,
I wonder what label a real far right party would be given because it seems that everything not to the left of Corbyn and the bbc is far right.
The label ‘far right’ is fast becoming meaningless through over use, same as racist. No longer an insult.
Intolerance will not be tolerated.
Perhaps a resident of Somerset would ask their police force to define what a “hate crime” is, so we can avoid transgressing (yes, I’m being sarcastic).
Martin,
CPS Info:
https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/racist-and-religious-hate-crime-prosecution-guidance
Thank you for that. I interpret to law to mean that non-personal criticism of races, nations and religions is permitted. But can anyone rely on the police to interpret it the same way? Notwithstanding these guidance notes to the law, it seems a good deal of subjective leeway is available to the police and others concerning, for example, whether what they perceive to be a ‘hate crime’ should be referred to the CPS.
Does this include hating Marmite?

That makes two of us at least, Briss, I hate so called “social meeja” with a vengeance, almost as much as I hate the BBC!
I agree with you both. And isn’t it interesting how the BBC drools over social media, not only using it as a regular source of the fake news it broadcasts (‘outrage over X’) but it actively nourished the monster at birth by encouraging its viewers and listeners to communicate with it via Twitter and Facebook from very early on?
Both the BBC and social media promote dumbing down and herd instinct behaviour. Life would be better without them.

Avon and Somerset police must have lots of money and plenty of policeman if they can dedicate so much time and resources to perceived hurt feelings.

The Times Editorial
“The state-funded BBC, once just a broadcasting organisation, has quietly become a publisher threatening diversity. In the past few years dozens of local and regional newspapers have closed. A recent study by King’s College London found that more than two thirds of local authority districts were not served by a dedicated local daily newspaper that reached a significant number of households. This represents more than 56 per cent of the population.”
” Theresa May has said that the review would consider all approaches to revitalising the press. If the government wants to do its bit, it could start by curtailing the BBC’s damage to local newspapers. It could also discourage councils from printing their own pseudo-newspapers which use public money to price out competitors less sympathetic to the local authority’s message. “

It would be good if their pay rates reflected the society upon which they prey. I wonder how many beeboids claim their tv tax licence on expenses? Percentage of employees paid above the average wage ? The number on more than the PM? The number in production companies paid through dividends ? The number paid through off shore accounts ? The cost of pensions against contributions ?

BBC radio Newcastle in utter meltdown this morning when a roving reporter vox popped the wrong person regarding the leaked report that Brexit will devastate North East economy.
He supported brexit hated the EU and then had the audacity to mention Muslims. ( obviously about terrorism) You could instantly feel the tension that this bloke had said something not on the beeb agenda that they weren’t comfortable with.
Of course our two local presenters, the reverend Alfie Joey, and Saint Anna Forster went into panic mode defending Islam. “It’s got nothing to do with Brexit She screamed with Alfie agreeing when they finally found a Brexit supporter to back them up.
It was hilarious……

“Kemi Badenoch SLAMS London Liberals over Brexit”
Every day that failed politician – Osborne – used his editorial position as the editor of the evening standard to piss on brexit . Fortunately he can’t harm brexit because London is full of snowflake kidults who believe in globalism anyway .
He ll land up as a presenter on al beeb doing railway trips

The wind is about to change and he will get a good soaking .
He could end up as a host on Top Gear ?

I followed that very interesting link, and I spotted this one as well which I thought was well worth sharing.
The constant whining about the ‘extreme right’- because some people still believe in the nation-state and controllable borders- is leading one little country down the road to nowhere, and there is a lesson there.
Merkel could have formed a genuine conservative coalition between her CDU, the FDP and the AfD. But the incessant drumbeat of ‘extreme right’ prevented that; the AfD was not acceptable. So now we have socialists taking over the finance and foreign ministry. They’re going to st…f things up big-time!
All to have M given another 4 years. Unbelievable. A lot of German commentators say they can’t even bear the sight of her any more.
Easy to understand.

“The Bank of England has indicated that the pace of interest rate increases could accelerate if the economy remains on its current track.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42986729
I am not an economist, but the way I see it is that its all good news, but that’s not the way Al Beeb sees it.
So the economy is much stronger than the Bank of England thought it would be after Brexit? Am I wrong?
There are some good comments running on HYS
How much longer is that disingenuous; slimy; Canadian @ssh0le going to “Remain” in his job?

Al – Wasnt sure whether you talking about Mark Carney or the Canadian Prime Minister (otherwise known as Gods gift to “peoplekind”) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/07/justin-trudeau-tells-woman-to-say-peoplekind-not-mankind
Mark Carney should be packed off back to Canada where he got parachuted in from before his shit hit the fan by Cameron, the guys a Tory stooge, in from his native Canada to become Britain’s Bank of England governor on an £874,000 salary for one reason and one reason only: to serve as the creature of Chancellor of the Exchequer the master of disaster Osborne … and should have been history long ago.
Mark Carney is obviously suffering from some BBC-type amnesia-type forgetfulness, noggin. The BoE and its MPC are only meant to control inflation in the UK, not respond to growth worldwide.
There will be no inflation this year, said Mark Carney anyway, and a slough of economists used by the BBC to guesstimate all agreed.
Ohh yeahh?
Fine, fine, fine ….
Carney remaining in post is a direct result of Theresas hand wringing/fence sitting approach to Governance. Instead of deciding on what your priorities are and appointing the best people to do the job – she attempts to offend no-body by retaining poor quality/obstructive candidates (such as Carney and Rudd) and ends up offending everybody.
Every cloud has a silver lining and I expect I expect the Canucks are more than happy with us retaining one of their very own arseholes for as long as it takes for the penny to drop with Theresa. Unfortunately for them they also seem currently to have plenty of their own to spare at the moment.
Maybe to cement UK/Canadian relations we should undertake an “arsehole swap” as they say change is as good as a rest.
Does Al Beeb hate Brexit ? Is it Biased ?

I know a broadcaster that needs kicking down the road. 😀
Yes and yes.
Al beeb reporting the capture of two British passport holders in Syria who have been Isis fighters. Unfortunately they remain alive .
No doubt some British prostitute – sorry – legal firm like Leigh Day will be jetting out to represent these poor misguided children who have now seen how wrong they were … yawn …
