Agent Cob-Nut hasn’t come in from the cold yet, perhaps he’s stuck, maybe he can batter his way out with a blackpudding [no jokes about Di-abolical], or maybe he can just use it to batter his critics in the Press into silence…the BBC need have no concerns of course as he threatens ‘change is coming’….the BBC is happy to see change even if it means a Marxist, terrorist supporting wrecker in No10…or No13 according to Di-abolical.

    A report comes out that suggests that the rape and sexual exploitation of young English women by a certain BAME group is likely far more extensive than “previously” imagined. Young English women with learning disabilities as well as young English women caught up in drugs are also being sexually groomed/exploited/abused. Report writer says these are bad choices and there is probably nothing that can be done about it – apart from researching further into it – including possible cultural background of the perpetrators. The perpetrators displayed no regrets for their actions and would do it again if they had the opportunity.

    This news story the BBC is unable to hide but the BBC do not make it the top BBC homepage story – that lay with reporting on the Winter Olympics, Donald Trump considering imposing sanctions on North Korea, something about celebrity Cheryl Cole, and something about a traffic jam in China.

    Note also the story is linked as a regional news item (Tyne & Wear) and not as a UK story – this suggests that this story will rapidly decline in priority.

    Ps – about a year ago I heard a French story suggesting large scale grooming of English girls / young women who were within the English care service and that they were being sent abroad as part of an international system of sexual exploitation of English girls / young women – but I haven’t seen anything reported in the British media (it was on French radio).

      ps this story may be about to escalate – when it was revealed in one English region alone 700 English women had been sexually exploited, that it was still going on, and that the perpetrators were resistant to police threats to stop the practice. It seems that many are groomed in childhood and then sexually exploited when reaching the age of consent, many are plied with alcohol spiked with the date rape drug.

      In a live reporting news article the BBC are now claiming they new something about this back in 2016 but were not able to report it. However the live news reporting is still only linked as Regional News (Tyne & Wear) promoted to the News Homepage.
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-tyne-43156242

      From the Tyne & Wear live news reporting article:
      British girls ‘had a lack of morals’: One of the men who abused vulnerable girls and women in Newcastle was interviewed for the report and showed “no remorse” … In prison, he explained he spent 10 years in Turkey, five years or so in Greece and some time in Italy and France, before travelling to England on the way to Canada. During sentencing the judge said his intention was to “incite” 15-year-old girls into prostitution. The report said:

      He displayed no regret, claimed he only had sex with girls over 16 years old and that they knew what they were doing. They were responsible and brought drugs on to his premises. One was homeless so what could he do?

      He was convicted because of a conspiracy by the government, police and the judge who paid the victims. If convicted for rape in his home country, he would be beheaded or buried up to the neck and stoned.

      He was asked about what he thought about the United Kingdom and influences in his education. He said you can get anything here – any sex, drugs, alcohol. There is no control.

      He spoke in a derogatory way about lack of morals in British girls and did not go with Muslim girls because there are not many of them.

    THe BBC seem awful exercised about whether UNICEFs Forsyth had already been “formally warned” and /or informally investigated”. No gives a damn about their bureacratic and sub-legal machinations and slitherings. You don`t harass women and then pretend you`re bloody Albert Schweitzer. Scumbag, rugger bugger Oxbridge Freemasons in another guise-behaving as the Agrics used to behave when we were in the wine bars. No different.
    But our lads were drunken idiots who`d be sorry next time they were sober-and were not on hundreds of thousands of pounds of poor peoples money as they morally blackmailed them for more “fookin” money . This lot are labour green slimemould without the balls to stay in the same room as us-just be hypocrites, and swill money and prestige. And sneering at the rest of us as Cox, Geldof and all the others do.
    Great to watch them fall. More please.
    You know the elite are in trouble when they resort to this wellworn tactic.
    The BBC -like Leverson or Chilcot-major on minor legalese and policy/procedural quibbles and minutiae in order to deflect us. You don`t hound less powerful women(or kids, boys even?) for sexual favours because you have the money and power-whereas they don`t. How many training courses do you need to be told that?…and if you need one, you should be cleaning toilets,not hustling pussy.
    Final point.
    Now that Haiti has got rid of Forsyth and Cox-will Trump upgrade and reclassify that country from its previous “shithole” designation? Seems they`ve taken great strides to drain their own quango quagmires, to drain their swamps. Worth some recognition POTUS45.

    Listening now to Billy Grahams obituary on Last Word.
    Knew it would be a hatchet job or his being damned with faint praise. So it is.
    But did hear his mention of Jesus-and even the BBC couldn`t cut THAT out, seeing as he says so many things with that blessed name in it.
    In an earlier age, he`d have had a full hour. Now he`s the support act to the life and death of an Irish prostitute whose real age isn`t even know by the obit writers.
    Graham is probably single-handedly responsible for the pilot light of Christianity not getting extinguished from the 50s through to the 80s in the UK. Loads of church people today owe him a huge debt in this country-but since when did the BBC think of their audience?
    At least they didn`t link him to Cliff Richard and that tawdry BBC story of theirs. Bet their lawyers spiked that one.

    In The Times today, Edward Lucas on “Corbyn’s sickening support of Soviet empire”

    As someone who had the misfortune to witness at first hand the appallingly brutal treatment of the Soviet Czech state Corbyn adored, Lucas is withering in his condemnation of the Labour leader and other “useful idiots”.

    But he makes an interesting point, that many on this web site will believe. He says most people in the Czech puppet state tried to simply play the system as best they could, that the only “enthusiastic Communists I met were foreigners”. He mentions failures from the miner’s strike who lived there and “One nosy Welsh couple worked for a Soviet propaganda outfit”.

    In other words, the only true supporters the communists had were those who didn’t have to live there. Says it all, but won’t be said on the BBC.

    Is anyone else still brave or masochistic enough to listen to the Today prog’? I usually do, but…
    This morning there was a very peculiar interview. Sarah Montague was speaking with historian and travel writer, Jan Morris. One of the strangest things about this chat was Jan herself. Because to anyone listening it was clear that she was obviously a he. Jan had “transitioned” some time in the early 70’s.
    I couldn’t work out why this elderly person (he’s in his 90’s) was being interviewed in the first place and then Sarah asked for his opinion about Brexit. Ah! Jan told us and didn’t hold back. Brexit will be a disaster. Britain will be weakened dreadfully by this insane action. There’ll be nothing good to come from leaving, blah, blah, blah.
    Well there you have it.
    Blimey, I wonder are the Beeb going to trawl the country looking for random transsexuals and ask them loaded questions about British politics? “So, April Ashley, what do you think about these ludicrous spy smears regarding the entirely innocent and saintly Jeremy Corbyn?”

    And is he obtuse? Or just thick enough to think that Brexit complaints are due to “non-experts” getting a say when all the experts have already proved that our economy will tank and WW3 will result?
    That was the gist of Boltons questions to Chris Morris-Brexit is over represented apparently.
    And not enough economic facts and projections as given by the experts.
    And the BBC don`t take a position on Brexit, so how on earth can we make up our minds now? Of course Chris, Roger.

    Since the sixties-and especially since the Premier League coming into existence as the USSR seemed to disappear-I`ve been curious about why sport takes up so much of the news on the BBC these days.
    But just heard Eddie Mair on PM give us a few minutes on “vulnerable women” getting picked on and abused on Tyneside. Eddie chose not to mention any common characteristic of these unruly Geordie lads…and certainly no religious or theological pretext was presented to us.
    Ande, given that there just MIGHT be some common feature of Muhammad 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 Anjem, Abdul, Musa and Mohammed 10-17 inclusive-you`d have thought Eddie might have dug further with a few “anal analysts, cysts, sisters and cis-types.

    So, the bBC is pushing the story about how a man convicted of kidnap, rape and murder which he carried out on a 21 year old girl 24 years ago decided to scream: “Murderers” at his state execution:
    Florida inmate screams and thrashes at his execution
    “A Florida death row inmate shouted “murderers!” three times and struggled on a gurney as he was put to death. Eric Scott Branch, 47, was put to death for the 1993 rape and killing of Susan Morris, a 21-year-old student at the University of West Florida. Branch was sentenced to death in 1994 and spent 24 years on death row. Before the drug was administered on Thursday, he told correction officers that Governor Rick Scott should be the one to carry out the execution. “I’ve learned that you’re good people and this is not what you should be doing,” Branch said, according to US media. The Florida governor signed his death warrant in January, after Branch failed to convince judges to overturn his death sentence.”

    Whilst the bBC concentrates on how this murdering Cunts’ execution was a travesty of justice:
    “In his latest appeal, he claimed the jury’s 10-2 vote to sentence him to death during his trial did not reflect new laws that required jurors to reach a unanimous decision for inmates facing the death penalty. Florida’s old capital punishment system was ruled unconstitutional in 2016, but cases before 2002 were not made exempt under the new law, so Branch’s appeal was deemed unsuccessful.”

    They don’t mention anything about his victim other than her name, age and that she was raped: Here’s why this prick is now burning in hell:
    “Evidence in the case shows that Branch approached Morris after she left a night class on Jan. 11, 1993, so he could steal her red Toyota and return to his home state of Indiana. He was arrested while travelling there. In denying one of Branch’s appeals, the Florida Supreme Court noted that the crime was particularly brutal. “She had been beaten, stomped, sexually assaulted and strangled. She bore numerous bruises and lacerations, both eyes were swollen shut,” the justices wrote. Branch also was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Indiana and of another sexual assault in Panama City, Florida, that took place just 10 days before the fatal attack on Morris, court records show.”

    Nor do they mention a statement from the family of the real victim here:

    “the Morris family issued a statement saying they are still mourning the victim’s death a quarter century ago. “Twenty-five years ago, Susan’s life was suddenly and brutally extinguished. We have grieved for her longer that she was with us. Yet because of who she was … she will never be forgotten by those who love her,” said the statement read out by the victim’s sister, Wendy Morris Hill.”

    Branch at 47 , lived twice as long as she did when he murdered her. In fact he spend 24 years locked up which was 3 years longer than she spent alive. I for one I’m glad that he is brown bread, and yet to the child buggering wankers at the bBC, this SOB is the victim.

    The bBC as per usual defending a Murdering rapist before the actual victim.

      Not too difficult to work out why the left and the media prefer to lament the murderer, and not bother their arses about any victim.
      It`s solely because scum like Branch bring in the cameras, the lawyers, the media, the human rights activists, the democrats, the student advocates, the CNN bunny hugging lobbies, the local university bleeding hearts and the psychologists, psychiatrists, Amnesty,…need I go on?
      Whereas the poor girl he killed is very dead, and of absolutely no financial or agenda-led use to them at all.
      And her parents won`t be any use unless they`re begging the governor for clemency.
      So it`s pretty clear, who`s the meal ticket, the pyramid of leeches that rely on murderers to provide the meal ticket data and leaflets. Branch pays well-so why the hell should morals or principles come into it at all?
      This principle was first aired by Gitta Sereny who did rather well out of Mary Bell, less well out of Martin Howe. She stated that Venables and Thompson brought all the research and money, grants and human rights lobby with their case-so paid well. James Bulger`s just a little white coffin nobody gets a living from. That was my take home from what she was saying anyway.

      Good post, Pounce. I share your dim view of the BBC’s reporting of this execution. They need to be reminded of the meaning of certain words:

      Murder – the unlawful killing of an innocent citizen.
      Execution – the lawful killing of a person convicted of a crime which carries the death penalty.

It still manages to make snide comments about the government and you get the feeling the ‘journalist’ (Loose term) who penned it is a paid up member of the Labour party…… “Although a majority of Labour voters opposed Brexit, a significant minority backed it”.

        “faux financial bolloxs” indeed.
        Immediately after the Referendum, the BBC focused on the FT100 hoping that it would plunge and confirm their anti-Brexit hysteria. Of course, if they were as clever as they thought they were, they might have realised the fall in the pound would boost the FT100 as their foreign profits go on the books in pounds. In their desparation, they started scanning ever more obscure. financial indices for bad news . FTSE250, FTSE Small Caps and then finally gave up. All these BBC efforts are based on the fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc. In 1975 the pound bought about DM 5 this came down over the years to DM 3. Using BBC logic we should have got out of the EEC decades ago because “no one votes to be poorer”. Isn’t that one of Chukka’s favourite platitudes? Surely one of the best reasons never to vote Labour.

      However Mrs 7 does enjoy some of the nonsense (Meet the Midwife as an example).
      Accordingly I retire to my ‘indoor shed’ and peruse BT, Fire, Freeview etc. for a quiet life.
      I still object to the principle of the ‘license fee’ too receive free content as opposed propaganda.

      As an aside, I have a reflex action WRT Norton – ‘Where’s the remote?’

    Might BBC news editors have got something wrong?

    “You won’t be surprised, Samira, to hear me say, I don’t think so…”

    That was some BBC self-justificatory sports news manager on the Newswatch show this morning (hosted by the ever-glib Samira Ahmed) replying to audience concerns about too much Winter Olympics on the BBC news.

    Which just goes to show the Newswatch show is a pointless exercise in… basically BBC self-justification.

    On every subject, from dodging the Commie-loving Corbyn story to the lack of high definition signal for regional news, the BBC is confidently assured that they are the boss of us.

    And just to rub salt on the ice… I mean salt in the wound… immediately following Newswatch we have BBC Breakfast news headlining with… you guessed it… Winter Olympics.

    These bastards will not be held to account.

    Currently listening to Radio4 Extra to a programme about the Byzantium empire. Introduced by the presenter expounding the mysterious 3rd sex who held powerful positions within the Empire. Listened with bated breath for the identity of said third sex. She was talking about the Castrati. These are just men who have had there male genitalia removed – they are not a third sex. Midway through the programme she said that the West did not have Castrati in their societies and were uncomfortable with the “trisexuality” of the Byzantines and by implication were less developed. So not attempt at biological accuracy – nothing must stand in the way of the Transgender movement and it’s narrative about gender and sex.

    Richard – you really do live in the dark ages. In fact currently there are a further 68 genders out there – HOWZAT!

    I am afraid the BBC really cannot help itself when it comes to the misrepresentation of facts. I suppose it is all part of its cultural marxist agenda. I am afraid that there is probably pretty much nothing that they produce that has not had an “absolute cobblers” injection.

    Truly surreal interview by Hussein on Today about the 700 women abused in the north east. No mention of Muslims, it’s all about the background of the victims apparently.

    • Zelazek says:

      I heard that pathetic interview too, England. You’re right. Not once was the background of the perpetrators mentioned. In fact, the perpetrators weren’t mentioned at all, as I recall. The story has been transformed and respun as some nonsense about the inadequacy of social services. What I laughed at was Mishal the Head Girl’s first question about what this “vulnerability” of adult women was, as if there was some kind of dishonesty going on on the part of the victims. Surely she knows. “Vulnerability” is used all the time by the Left. Of course they tend to confine the meaning of “vulnerable” to those people who suffer because of evil Tory cuts, so perhaps Mishal was confused. “Vulnerable” must be used on the BBC about 93 million times a day in this way. But it has a broader meaning. I’ll give an example for poor Mishal. Say you’re a disabled person who is confined to a wheelchair. You can’t really move. Then Jimmy Savile comes into your room and you’re all alone with him. That’s being “vulnerable”. Here’s another example. Say you are a girl who has lived in care all your life and you turn eighteen. Suddenly you’re kicked out of the system and you find yourself alone and the only people who befriend you are a Muslim grooming gang. Because you have never had the chance to form successful emotional attachments in your life, you are still naive and don’t know how to judge character, and you don’t realise that these Muslims are not friends but evil bastards. That’s being “vulnerable”.

    Good piece by Amanda Platell in the Mail about Stormzy’s outburst at the Brit awards. Why aren’t politicians showing these virtue signallers for what they are instead of living in fear of upsetting a few ignorant voters. The left love to believe lies spread by their icons.

      Matt will be an atheist so knows little about the religious impiulse.
      He says that Christianity is getting increasingly censorious-tell us how Matt!
      I don`t see it.
      Matts problem(being an atheist) is that he confuses spirituality with religion. The Fukayama doctrine died with the end of the Soviets and the 9/11 attacks.
      A religion is a code, set of beliefs and practices/rituals that “bonds people together” in a Higher Cause.
      If that means getting Fulham promoted, or making us all be vegan-well, these are religions.
      If you can never be “——–” enough-then that`s a religion.
      So leftish, communist, Muslim, liberal sporting, rich, educated, healthy, deviant, sexed or vegan…all of these words fit into the “religious” gap I left in my sentence above. Anti-Fascist, Labour and rewarded/awarded are similar.
      We have a God-shaped hole-vacuum out any need for Jesus or God, then it`ll get filled with stuff like I mention above.

    And it is not just white schoolgirls….

    Police have said they are talking to community leaders following a protest by hundreds of Sikhs at a Luton police station.

    About 250 people gathered at Buxton Road at 21:00 BST on Tuesday over an allegation that a young Sikh woman had been sexually assaulted.

    Police said the report was being investigated.

    A 19-year-old man charged with common assault in connection with the allegation is due in court later.
    ‘Aired responsibly’

    Before the protest, senior officers had attended the Gurdwara in Dallow Road to meet Luton Sikh community leaders to explain the investigation into the report of an assault on Monday, a police spokesman said.

    “This concluded satisfactorily and the officers left,” he added.

    “An hour later a wider group, including Sikhs from outside of the town, arrived at the Buxton Road police station to discuss the issues further.

    “After considerable negotiation with representatives from the group, who were invited into the police station to talk, the protesters left at 11pm.”

    Ch Supt Mike Colbourne said: “Obviously we have a duty to facilitate lawful, peaceful protest and if people have concerns it is right they are aired responsibly.

    “Our priority first and foremost, however, is with the victim in this matter and her family.”

      isn`t it pathetic when we expect the Sikhs to have to do our fighting for us?
      The Sikhs are to be respected-when THEY go, there`ll be real trouble. Now THEY can carry knives-and they`re pretty big ones back at the Gurdwallah.
      Think I can see why the BBC and media are so keen on wall-to-wall sport and anodyne fluff now…real stories like this one in Luton somehow need to be crowded out. Sport and celebrity pish on the other hand kills their ratings and makes us all go online for real news. So they`re stuffed either way.
      If its important, interesting and necessary-well the media will no longer be reporting it, in case we kick off or blame Corbynislam.
      So no-one watching.
      If its idiot drivel from Clegg and Harnman world-then no one will watch, it`s lies, safe and untrue as well as deeply repetitive and boring, So no advertising-and the state will have to run these news outlets as charity outlets and fodder lots for the sheep.
      So like Oxfam and their schools in terms of funding. Either way-they`re done.
