Midweek Open Thread

 

Anna Foster on 5Live admitted the truth about the ‘crisis’ concerning the Northern Ireland border…it’s all political…it is perfectly possible to have a ‘frictionless’, ‘invisible’ border…the only thing stopping it is the EU’s land grab, it’s attempt to annex Northern Ireland interfering with British internal politics.  Her guest was Lars Karlsson [a former director of the inter-governmental World Customs Organisation] who has just done a report for the EU stating as much…and yet you wouldn’t know from the rest of the BBC’s reporting….the flagship Today show telling us that Boris Johnson ‘wasn’t right in the head’ because he proposed using electronic systems to monitor the border…as done in many countries….including our own already.  The original interview when he suggested this, again on Today with the hopeless and overpaid Mishal Husain, was the catalyst for the abuse that Boris received as Husain ridiculed him for comparing, or so she suggested, two London boroughs with the situation in NI…except of course he wasn’t comparing the political situation merely using it as an illustration of how the technology can work…as proved by Lars Karlsson…an expert unlike Husain or Sarah Montague…Montague who wanted to know if we ‘should be leaving the EU?’…Brexit being so terrible eh?  The BBC is blatant and arrogant in its attempts to create the narrative that Brexit can be reversed…a very dangerous idea I’d suggest…along with the one that suggests that if the Irish government doesn’t like the border solution it can mobilise the IRA which can dig up all those weapons it handed over during the ‘peace process’ [never mind the hundreds of bomb threats each year]…lol.

Spot any more bias…list it here…

    Their website orgasmically reports on a hate crime against a Somali woman.

    Why are there never any hate crimes against the Chinese? And why are there never any arrests on Chinese New Year despite thousands out celebrating?

        AN – Sorry I missed your post yesterday .

        I think some degree of racism is natural in most societies. I think this is because the similarities between individuals is what helps to bond us into cohesive societies.

        Having said that the more civilised societies become, generally the the more this is frowned on ( and rightfully so). I am sorry your wife has had to put up with this sort of shit and whilst I think we should always work against this sort of ignorance I suspect it will never fully go away as in some ways it goes to the heart of what a “society” is. But yes if we consider ourselves “civilised” then we should always work against it.

        Having said that the “fight against racism” has been weaponised by the left to shut down any arguments that run counter to their destruction of our society by invasion.

        In addition it seems that some followers of a certain religion have almost been given a get out of jail free card to act in a most racist and savage way and yet get a disgusting level of protection for their crimes by the media and the liberal establishment.

        What a sick society we have turned into.

          I would also like to add to the above post.
          The great irony as I see it is , If you are going to bring in large groups of people into a relatively settled society. It appears to me that you could could not pick a more divisive and aggressive group of people to integrate into society than followers of Islamic teachings. Since it appears to teach invasion rather than integration.

          Maybe in small numbers but certainly not en masse.

              It’s interesting to note that Google (among others) has been seen to discriminate against two races — whites and Asians, in favour of blacks and Hispanics.

              This is of a piece with all Leftist thinking. Simply by being successful, you are automatically tainted as an Oppressor. Similarly, to be granted Victim status, all you have to do is fail.

                Rick – I think the globalist corporations prefer less successful individuals and societies because as I said above, they are far easier to “weaponise” than more civilised and successful ones. I suppose as we see in the left wing media outlets (such as the BBC) it is not too difficult to use race hustlers such as Abbott and Lammy to create a grievance culture and as a result knock another brick out of the wall of societal cohesion.
                As regards individual achievement in the great scheme of things I would probably be thought of as a borderline underachiever. But I was bought up to believe that as long as you do the best you can and make the best of your personal circumstances then no one can ask any more.
                Unfortunately what these “race hustlers” will eventually achieve is more of the “rainbow nation” type model where anyone who is able to achieve more than the majority population is seen as fair game for robbery and murder.

    Article in Times yesterday about a ‘diversity audit’ at the BBC. They have done ‘research’ which shows middle aged and white people view the BBC less favourably than certain communities.

    This ‘research’ will be cited endlessly though it clearly has all the intellectual rigour of a toddler’s tantrum. It refers to the ‘LGBT community.’ Lesbians and gay men tend to not get on. Plus we are individuals – not part of a ‘community.’ I have been in plays with gay men and they are just the same as everyone else. They do not instantly join some phantom ‘community’ just because they have different tastes.

    I imagine it is indigenous and middle aged Brits who are in fact more upset with the BBC than any other group. What moron did this ‘research’ and how much do they trough from the ‘equalities’ industry?

    There is no talk of the quality of programmes. The World Service is a shadow of the hyper intellectual, quintessentially British arsenal of soft power it once was. Imagine telling Shakespeare to write Hamlet whilst ensuring disabled, minority and gay characters were all equally represented. It would not be a work of towering genius but a crock of sh*t, which indeed so much BBC output is these days. Never mind the percentage of BAME staff, what percentage of programmes are rubbish?

    Let’s hear it for the penguin, the poster animal for the global warmists in Antarctica. In a variety of habitats, these adaptable little beasties are thought to number in total around 40 million, although populations often vary due to a variety of natural causes. Of course according to the BBC they are under considerable threat from the effects of human-induced climate change.

    At regular intervals the BBC publishes without critical comment the latest scares designed to reinforce the global warmists’ political agenda. A couple of years ago it reported speculation that about 70% of king emperor penguins will “relocate or disappear before the end of the century because of greenhouse gas emissions”.

    Of course animals in the wild often relocate – it’s called looking for food. The propaganda news story had a lot of “mights” scattered around and the findings also seemed to rely on “climate modeling”. Since such modeling of the IPCC variety is always wrong, this will no doubt be a weight off the penguins’ minds.

    In 2014 the BBC ran some similar stuff from a Nature Climate Change journal. So we learnt that climate change “is likely to cut Antarctica’s 600,000 strong emperor penguin population by at least a fifth by 2100”. Again no attempt was made to question such figures let alone suggest that losing a few thousand members of a common species over 100 years is hardly a tragedy. Certainly not enough to justify outlawing oil and gas and taking away our cars. Win some, lose some – it’s mother nature’s way.

    Of course such stories are conveyor belt material designed to promote the unscientific suggestion that rises, or indeed falls, in global temperatures are caused solely by human activity. For over a decade the BBC has refused to consider all the available climate science on this matter.

    But now comes news that a huge colony of 1.5 million penguins has just been discovered in a remote rocky archipelago in northern Antarctica. This is very bad news for the BBC and their ilk. With increasing numbers of protected polar bears roaming the Arctic and penguins popping up all over the place down south, expect even more feverish attempts by the BBC to suggest they are all on the point of extinction.

    thank you for contacting us about BBC News online.

    We understand you feel the BBC have not reported on a story concerning “a national scandal rape case”.

    While you haven’t provided sufficient information for us to investigate we would explain that, we know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, or the order in which they appear. Our news editors make these complex decisions, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand. We accept that not everyone will agree with each decision – various factors are at play and there’s often debate in the newsroom too.

    Editorial decisions are more of a judgement call, than an exact science – so you’ll even find variety from one BBC programme to the next. Time constraints, the expected audience profile and the style of each bulletin or current affairs programme can all play a part. We appreciate the feedback that our audience give us when it’s felt a story has been overlooked – it too can inform our ongoing work. Suggestions for other stories to consider can be made here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/have_your_say

    Nonetheless, your concerns have been forwarded directly to the news department on an internal report of audience feedback. These reports can be used to inform future broadcasting and policy decisions so please be assured that your complaint has been sent to the right people.

    We do appreciate the time you have taken to raise this with us.

    We all KNOW that there are plenty good people doing good things and helping their fellow beings. We also know of many people in the PRIVATE sector who got into work against all odds, and did good jobs for others less mobile, older or frafile that they.
    And-will someoene tell Labour that the homeless are not caused by Grenfell or Tory cuts-indeed Ralph McTell sang of them in the seventies when Heath and Wilson were messing up the country.
    Chirches and lots of good groups are ding good work to help-don`t see NHS Trust executives, BBC studios or Coulcil offices doing much to actually FEED then, or let them sleep in the warmnt overniight.
    The BBc are pathetic-slate us for 364 days of the year, then find a few casualties that burnish their caring meme of the day.
    Full of cow-eyed pity, then snarling at them if they voted to leave the EU no doubt?
    The BBC either at our throats-or crawling round our feet, and feigning compassion…as long as the State is leading it and paying for it, and monitoring it.
    But not actually DOING it. Oxfam likewise want their gestures noted and recorded-but won`t get their hands dirty and actually DIG things themselves as they used to in the 70s.
    That invokes HSE problems, and hardly helps with trans activists who want an end to weather changes.

    Maybe it is worth popping on to this site to find news, real news that concerns the majority in this country, it is worrying when our national news concerns itself with wimmin being allegedly groped by white males at a charity event yet ignores systematlic racially aggravated peadophilic gang rape over years by asian immigrants across the country

    It has occurred to me recently why the BBC employs so many black people telling us what to think. Around the world, but mostly in the USA i found out by accident (honest mate) that BBC is a very common acronym for Big Black Cocks. It is all making sense now.

    Penguins going extinct because of climate change?, very amusing Penguins reside in Australia in very hot conditions, I have seen them on Penguin Island Western Australia and 13 species of Penguin in New Zealand which isn’t exactly freezing either. They like fish not cold weather.

    So Labour not taking any more Mosley money. His far right past has caught up with him along with his Nazi Dad according to the Guardian. All very confusing, that must mean Labour has been Far-Right Fascist for decades. How bizarre!

      Mosley of the Blackshirts and the Labour left. Worth digging into how he left the Labour Party and who his friends were. Like Aneurin Bevin, founder of the NHS. Here is a bit of Wikipedia digging.

      Oswald Mosley was a prominent left wing Labour man who produced the Mosley Memorandum in the thirties. On 6 December 1930, he published an expanded version of the “Mosley Memorandum”, which was signed by Mosley, his wife and fellow Labour MP Lady Cynthia and 15 other Labour MPs: Oliver Baldwin, Joseph Batey, Aneurin Bevan, W. J. Brown, William Cove, Robert Forgan, J. F. Horrabin, James Lovat-Fraser, John McGovern, John James McShane, Frank Markham, H. T. Muggeridge, Morgan Philips Price, Charles Simmons, and John Strachey. It was also signed by A. J. Cook, general secretary of the Miners’ Federation. The “Mosley Memorandum,” proposed protectionist high tariffs to protect Britain from international finance, state nationalisation of main industries, and a programme of public works to solve unemployment. It was turned down by the cabinet, after which he resigned from his post, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and by the Labour Party Conference, after which he left Labour. R. H. S. Crossman, himself a Labourite who did enter the cabinet a couple years later, would later say of the Memorandum as “brilliant” and a “whole generation ahead of Labour thinking.” Ironically Crossman was a Zionist who later fought against the Nazis. Bitter about this turndown, Mosely founded the New Party, whose corporatist program was supported by dissident Labour and Conservative politicians such as Aneurin Bevan and Harold Macmillan The Daily Mail…also supported this party.

    What is the Einstein visa? And how did Melania Trump get one?

    Seems that the envy of the world took this article from the Washington Post, and of course they are delighted to reproduce it in the hope of rubbishing Trump.
    So the pro-immigrant, pro-women’s rights and equality are happy to throw this out of the window in the hope that they can find some dirt on her. Shame on the BBC!
    She is the flotus – suck it up BBC! I think good for her, she’s done very well for herself…as they like to say, she’s got right to the top!

      Nice one Looby, Flotus to the top. Einstein Visa, 1932 Albert escaping European Nazis, Melania escaping European Nazis in 2006. Visa was for extraordinary people?, not really the initial idea as can be seen from a 1932 newspaper webpage:
      http://www.rarenewspapers.com/view/575587
      “During the 1930s and into World War II, Einstein wrote affidavits recommending United States visas for European Jews who were trying to flee persecution. He raised money for Zionist organizations and was, in part, responsible for the 1933 formation of the International Rescue Committee.”
      Either way, i think she is extraordinary, a much better First Lady than Bill Clinton.

    “It is was not immediately clear who had carried out the attack” tell us the highly paid, most trusted journalists in the universe, after gunmen launch twin attacks in the capital of mostly muslim Burkina Faso, with a history of islamic terror attacks and kidnappings.

    This is their latest ruse for not using the word ‘islam’, whether it be in a domestic terror attack, or abroad.

    ‘We don’t know nuffink’.

    Well get another job then.

      Listening to humph on al beeb in the 0810 interview – he was talking to Jeremy Hunt about the May Speech . And unusually it was actually an…. interview and not the normal interruption fest .

      Either some one running their show can’t influence the tone or maybe albeeb is realising that Brexit is coming .

      No doubt the highly amusing al beeb comedy shows ( trump Farage brexit yawn) will carry on as usual .

    BBC breakfast intrepidly reporting on a new sport called ‘wall ball’ where you have to hit a ball against the wall using only your hand. They have in depth analysis and many interviews with experts and participants.

    They have the gall to act all offended when Trump calls them Fake News? They label his factual comments on things which actually matter to people ‘hate speech.’ I would ban ‘fluff news’ – total garbage like ‘wall ball’ which nobody needs or wants to know about which is a total waste of licence fee money. There are far too many stories like this as the reality of the terrifying world the Left has created renders any depiction of what is going on in the country ‘hate speech.’

    God now they are on an epic emotathon about harassment and diversity in film. We need 50/50 men and women – what an original and fascinating idea. It really is the Groundhog Broadcasting Corporation.

    a) The Looting by brown people (immigrants) in Dublin overnight and the destruction of a Lidl store by a JCB.
    b) Issues with the UK Energy supply i.e. Without Coal and Gas we would all be dead.
    c) A cooling Climate (Global Temperatures are heading back down to 2000 levels)

    What do we get ‘ Walk like a fffing Penguin so you don’t slip over’ and a sensation ‘ Hollywood Producer shagged wannabe starlet’

      Stew: While I do feel sorry for the legal, not engaged in any criminal activities, victims of this horrible inferno (and we must address their needs), it becomes ever more clear that some of the residents are taking us all for a ride – with the help of bent lawyers and the BBC. We should ask the BBC to make a programme on the fraud, since they are so obsessed with Grenfell. Purely for balance, you understand.
      You do wonder how many people were residing in Grenfell illegally, how many were engaged in activities the police may have been interested in, and how many are still trying to deceive the authorities.
      More than that, you wonder about who resides in the many hundreds of similar tower blocks, and what could be going on there.
      Has a cause for the Grenfell fire been found, does anyone know?

        #1 BMELawyers4Grenfell.
        comprising : Black Activists Rising against the Cuts (run by a ‘performance poet and artist’, daughter of a UN official and a 1960s agitator, in conjunction with with a race relations activist, previously a senior adviser to Ken Livingstone and Respect candidate for Croydon North);
        and Blaksox, an organisation which is pleased, among other things, to characterise the war on drugs as a war on black people.
        #2 Society of Black Lawyers, chaired by Peter Herbert, a barrister and part-time judge who, after Lutfur Rahman was ejected from the Mayoralty of Tower Hamlets for blatant electoral fraud in 2015, reached the obvious conclusion that it must all be down to racism, including among the judiciary. (He was reprimanded by the Judicial Conduct Office for that outburst.)
