President Trump meets the Rocket Man today and its possible that the 1950 Korean War will officially end . Britain lost over 1000 dead in that war .So how will al beeb cover this historic meeting ? We can but guess.
This week marks a year since a fire in a tower block. There might be no better week to abstain from Al Beeb…but for those witnessing the bias here be a new thread .
Lunchtime , Thank the Lord.
Was just asked out for a girls night out next Wednesday after work for a drink.
I said I wasn`t sure-not sure if I`m due at mums, or if partner is working late.
Think I`ve said that before though.
So Laura Kuennsberg was then asked by the deputy head if that means that I hate their guts, am having an eppy, my marriage is crap, my mums a demanding old bugger and I`m a tearful, indecisive and failed woman on the edge of anervous breakdown. And that`s going to be the only story in the staffroom-and maybe assemblies to come-until I strangle the head with my hippie love beads.
Why all this? Well I heard David Davis be all courteous, clever and clear re Brexit on Today this morning at 8.25 am or so.
But Humphrys asked Laura what David REALLY meant by what she`d just heard.
And Davis just had to sit there, mic removed and she contrived some crap about David failing an MCQ on whther he
a) knows
b)believes
c)expects
d) rejects
May to be his Leader in the next few years.
He gave the wrong one as far as the BBC were concerned. They`d already written the scripts and lines to take whatever he answered, and off she went smearing, lying and fantasising.
Is there any other line of life where what you`ve just said needs a liberal millionaire to tell your mates why you`re lying, faking or an utter arsehole?
It`s as if they`re all in the translation and interpreters suite, and given up on listening, questioning or reporting on real things happening (and not whether Davis stirs his coffee, or chews with his mouth full). Remind me again-why DO we pay for this crap?
Oh wait, I don`t!
Yippee.
But this was fake, fakir and f****in fake bitch slurry on a new scale to me.
Maybe there`s a new Esperanto they`ve worked on at the BBC for Brexit. No chance of leaving people to speak for themselves without the BBC and their shit stabber to rule the stools.
Out of interest I’ve tuned into LBC to see what’s being said about President Trump.
Sheelagh Fogerty has fielded three phone calls all supportive of the President and she refuses to call what he’s done an “achievement” and is using her journalism training and weasel words to show her hatred of President Trump while badly disguising it as her being impartial. She’s now changed tac to focus on North Korean concentration camps and President Trumps lack of action against them and called the States “just about a democracy”.
Normal service has been resumed as an on message caller has been put through and she’s having a love in with him. Just what I’d expect from an ex BBC presenter.
It is not just Trump derangement, or anti-Brexit derangement, it is lunacy about everything, from deranged man hatred to love of cultural relativism. Feminists for Islam! This generation of Leftists are every bit as insane as the generation who supported Castro and CND, and the generation before that, who supported Stalin and the Soviet Union.
The difference being that this generation of Leftists (or idiots as they are colloquially known) have taken over the BBC. They are not just useless (as useless as a bicycle is for a fish to coin a phrase) they are posionous. They are totalitarians to their fingertips.
Scrap the Licence Fee.
A reminder …
The BBC, who blocked her groundbreaking investigation from airing and spent the next few years attempting to destroy her reputation, are reporting that she died of “complications from a stroke.”

Beeb,
The BBC reporting on the 1 pm news was a disgrace. No surprise to most contributors here. Anyone would think that Kim is the peacemaker. He has only come to meet Trump because he realises that Trump is a tough guy whereas Obama was a weak little pussycat.
Grant
I think the Font of Truth had the wind taken out of its sails early in the day by Trump’s success. After a few hours trying to come up with something effective the best they could find was Trump “sharing a platform with a mass murderer and human rights violator”. The much heard platitude “you can only make peace by talking to your enemies” does not seem to apply in this case.
Supporters of the “glorious NI peace process” did not not bat an eyelid when car bombers and other mass murderers were included in the NI government.
ID,
Whatever Trump does, the BBC will find a way to talk it down.
Notice our favourite broadcaster is in full propaganda mode today, on just about everything that’s happening, which is a lot.
1.Trump/Kim: Trump is hated by the BBC because he’s not Hillary. That won’t change, so all reporting will be negative, and all TV footage will try to portray him in a bad light. They will pounce eagerly on any slip-up, but they will come up empty-handed, like Sylvester the cat…
2. Brexit: like much of our parliament, the BBC don’t understand Direct Democracy. Fact of the matter is, if we wanted parliament to have control of decisions, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO POINT IN HAVING A REFERENDUM. They are part of the Representative Democracy, but when a referendum takes place, the people INSTRUCT THE EXECUTIVE. Parliament are the legislature. Parliament seem to be, or are, clueless when it comes to Politics 1.1
3. H.o.L. That part of parliament which is not only clueless, but also fundamentally ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. The sooner they ride off into the sunset, the better. My Jack Russell has more natural ermine than those pretentious fools like to dress up in. KEEP THEM AWAY FROM BREXIT, THEY SPEAK ON BEHALF OF NOBODY.
4. ‘Dr’ Lee: good riddance.
5. BBC Russophobia: It’s getting out of hand a bit. But then, much of parliament is subject to frothing at the mouth over ‘Russian interference’. More sanctimonious people who thought Hillary was it, and haven’t yet recovered.
6. SOS Aquarius: Nothing quite like aiding and encouraging the invasion of your own continent. German-owned. Didn’t work for Adolf, so let’s try again under another guise. This time round we camouflage ourselves in ‘compassion’. With our beloved Comrade Merkel, successor to Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker, in charge, that should fool the crowds.
7. ‘Neo-nazis’ on trial, says the bbc. They should be careful with their terminology. Nazis are socialists, which grouping the bbc is a bit partial to. They are ‘national’ socialists, but they are still SOCIALISTS. Please, bbc, don’t try to fudge this and link them to the ‘Right’. On the Right you will find conservatives, who DO NOT approve of violent methods. I am happy to provide all those in the BBC, who do not know what conservatism is (ie almost everybody), with textbooks on the political ideals of conservatism. (Also, free to Conservative MPs who also don’t have a clue).
Fifa World Cup 2026: Canada, US & Mexico v Morocco
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44428947
Usual glib biased slant from the BBC.
”One side has David Beckham lobbying and Donald Trump menacing on social media. The other is promising a “European” World Cup in Africa.
But who will prevail on Wednesday when a vote is taken to decide on the hosts of the 2026 Fifa World Cup?
Morocco and a combined ‘United Bid’ between the United States, Canada, and Mexico are fighting for the right to stage the biggest World Cup ever held – with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days.”
Donald Trump menacing?
”US president Donald Trump took a slightly different tack, issuing a veiled warning on Twitter to “countries that we always support” in case they think about voting for Morocco on Wednesday.”
the full tweet
”The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?”

Robbie Williams to kick off World Cup
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44437851
Brilliant , British, has a few great songs,
”He will perform alongside Russian soprano Aida Garifullina, just half an hour before the first match kicks off.”
What an honour!
the BBC must be proud of our countryman…
ok let’s see what negative spin the miserable gits put on it
”Robbie Williams to kick off World Cup – despite offending Russia in 2016”
offending Russia ?
how?
” Russian newspapers said he should be banned from performing there.”-
”over a song Party Like A Russian
which portrays Russia’s elite as unsmiling, super-rich autocrats .”
2018 and the bbc think newspapers are the voice of the people.
I’m not a fan of his (Robbie Williams that is), he always has the look of a maniac – but then, I’m not of his generation, at least we had a few more singers to choose from.
Wasn’t our choice, the Russians asked him and are paying him,
Who would you suggest instead?
Lily Allen of course! Morrissey?!! Simply Red…. Billy Bragg…
Loobyloo – who is the odd one out on your list?
Answer for thems that don’t know – Morrissey is the only Brexit supporter amongst them.
Wouldn’t mind performing alongside her to be honest!

Remember this is what Parliament Promised ……………
“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office.”

How on earth did she know about the EU decades before it came into existence?
Amazing things coming out of the House of Quisling on the EU (withdrawal) bill.
Philip Lee in full santimonious mode is claiming that the MAJORITY who voted Brexit need to be saved from themselves by having their decision overuled by their more perspicacious “betters” cunts like Grieve, Clark and Soubry.
It really is time for action.
Until today, had anyone ever heard of Philip Lee ?
Philip K Dick?
LOL !
Didnt he do some homo erotic Kung foo films – I think Enter the Dragon and Fisting Fury were two of his.
I thought he was Asian and it was a goat not a dragon?
Governments really don’t care … plenty of people to go around …
A group of survivors and families of victims of the 2015 Paris terrorist attack at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris has filed a lawsuit against the French state over its response during the police operation that night.
The group which includes 17 victims and families of victims wants to know why eight soldiers from the “Sentinelle” anti-terror patrols armed with assault rifles, who were outside the concert hall while the massacre was taking place inside, were told by their superiors not to intervene.
Bataclan terror victims sue French state for not allowing armed soldiers to intervene
Will Parliament honour its promise to the people?
Or was the referendum a wasteful charade? Is Parliament a stage full of actors and clowns?

HM Gov . The world’s eyes are upon you .
We need to be clear that one of the key ingredients of the insane Western media coverage of President Trump is the dawning realisation that the West ( Europe that is ) no longer runs the world. That the BBC etc can pontificate all it likes but the nations that matter and the people that matter are just not interested or listening.
This is a profound shock to them and like the kiddies they are they are flailing around for somebody to blame. President Trump in the US and us voters in Europe who are slowly regaining control of our own affairs ( and really have little interest in the rest of the world).
To be fair it is not their fault that the power has shifted to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The USA is now firmly back as a Pacific power with little interest in Europe. The days of our Empire are long gone. Would that our silly progressive media understood this fully.
The G7 debacle could not have been more pointed. The US is not interested and Europe is just a bunch of has- been nations still wealthy but losing influence by the day.
BBC Website,
Arron Banks sticks it to MPs in the committee hearing. Great stuff !
Grant,
I liked it when he pointed out that everyone on the panel was a remainer.
None of them replied.
Message To Mr Arron Banks from the majority of the people of Wales – we would say that ‘You played a blinder’.
You, my man, should get yourself into politics and sort out the career politicians.
They are absolutely bloody useless.
Just seen this Arron Banks/Andy Wigmore double act in front of a load of faceless chiselling public sector nomarks. Business ignorant, sneery and whipping up fake news by the yard, while ostensibly seeking out the purveyors.
If this is the political class, we`ve got to get them out.
Can only thank these two for showing us how stupid, corrupt and hypocritical our MPs are.
Surprised they didn`t go over and clock them. Arron and Andy were losing thousands of pounds per hour wasting their time with these thick Remoaners on the sniff.
And we were paying these MPs for this circus.
650 MPS to choose from. 797 Lords to select.
Imagine if we reduced both …. the money could go to the NHS!
650 MPS (salary 77K) = 1300 Nurses (£35k)!
797 on say 30K per year = 797 Nurses!
Grant – yes saw it . Lunch was more Important. Bet the chair runs off to his remainer mate – the outgoing speaker.
Am I getting paranoid, or is this headline meant to give the impression it was “Kim’s” summit?
“Trump claims progress after Kim summit.”
And remember: just cos you’re paranoid doesn’t mean the beeb aren’t out to get you. Cos they are!

This truly a WTF story of no consequence…I see loads of women how cycle and they will say – WTF it’s not a problem. I know lots of woman who like me (not a woman) prefer not to cycle..not because the roads are made for me but I don’t want to…
The BBC seem to look for things to divide the genders/cultures/colours.
I know many men who don’t wear high heels – not because they are not designed for them but because they don’t bloody want to…
BBC you are a bunch of T..ts if this is what you call news – or even interesting!
Ps you notice the survey only ‘suggests’..good old BBC faddle word
Sorry about typos..for some reason the edit bit didn’t come up..should say who cycle and not because roads are not made for me…
mrs kaiser doesnt cycle, it messes up her hair and makeup, if the bbc can find a way to fix that good luck to them
Being from a rural idyll where all roads are of colour, and not au fait with the current level of diversity vs. social exclusivity vs. cultural appropriation, I am intrigued as to why all everyone of pinkish hue appear to be on one bit, bar she (by guess) who is clearly not so constrained. Some kind of segregation? Positive or negative? Politically based? I’d ask the BBC, but they don’t answer questions.
It proves it’s not PATRIARCHY that governs the world, and women’s choices,
The fact that more women CHOOSE not to cycle (a FREE activity)
(with 80% of mileage being done by the men who choose to cycle)
shows that when stats show male/women differences say salary
you can’t simply shout PATRIARCHY
In a group of men fat Bob and Fat Bill choose not to cycle and fit Steve and fit Tom choose to,
In a similar group of women only fit Wendy chooses to cycle, the other 3 fat or thin don’t.
Now there are factors like safety, chidcare and risk-taking to be taken into account .. I bet most cycle injuries are men.
Further to my post about my beloved Warhammer 40K…..
Can’t the BBC/MSM/Social Wankers etc… just leave me alone to enjoy what I like?? Apparently not, they want to invade every little piece of ground.
To quote from the Genesis song “I know what I like, and like what I know” NO according to the ‘government’ and the msm. I can’t just enjoy anything, instead I must wear a Mao suit and fall in line with the BBC narrative.
But will leave you all with the great Melvins..
Great album!! Although some Melvins albums are crap.

Jess Philips got 600 rape threats in one night
.. therefore the world should give up internet anonymity.
The Positives
Anonymity is an important part of free speech, without it Iranians would not be able to criticise their own government.
Nor would they be able to speak up about being gay etc.
The Negatives
Words are just words unless they incite action.
Jess Phillips isn’t really in any physical danger.
The tools
In the real world high-profiles don’t use a single identity
eg BBC staff could use a pseudonym account to express their own political views.
So far in proven court cases, rape threats have often come from teenage girls rather than the middle aged men that you’d expect.
(BTW she’s not a model)
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/expose-trolls-says-mp-after-600-rape-threats-in-one-day-g8s5sbvn6
But Jess Phillips gets 600 rape threats every time she walks down Broad Street doesn’t she?

#1 Anonymity is an important part of free speech, without it Iranians would not be able to criticise their own government.
Nor would they be able to speak up about being gay etc
#2 Accounts linked to bank accounts would cut out the young
#3 You could just use mule accounts, or hack your enemies and using their accounts and getting them jailed.
#4 In the real world high-profiles don’t use a single identity
eg BBC staff could use a pseudonym account to express their own political views.
Outrage bus fallacy.
If you are genuinely angry by an article like this, then you are probably being played.

I’m sure the BBC will be all over it like a rash and lead with headlines of her conviction.
Well it had to happen but I don’t expect anything on BBC until tomorrow as they are always at the back of the queue
Huffington post (the online BBC) already posting articles saying Donald Trump didn’t achieve anything from meeting and any of the previous presidents could have sat down with Kim etc etc…
Wait for BBC to follow suit….
Met a man today who said he used to do a lot of charity work for NGOs. I knew exactly what to expect as soon as he said this and I was not disappointed it was like having to listen to the hilarious Johny Dymond just after Trump got elected.
Of course Kim will be running rings around that idiot blah, blah, blah.
Just like the BBC who do little for their money, It is interesting that these sort of people who permanently have had their snouts stuck in the charity troughs and who seem to look down on us lesser mortals who actually have to work for a living, seem to hate this man so much.
I wonder if they can feel the current moving against their legs as the sluice gates are opened and the level of the swamp slowly starts to drop – And the man they all vilified and treated as a running joke has turned the joke on them because he seems to do the one thing they will never able to get their heads around – Being honest about his intentions.

Just watched it. Entirely credible given the fact we have heard nothing about child abuse in London nor in Birmingham, which both have very large muslim populations. Clearly his claims of a massive cover up by the police, the judiciary and the social services are beyond probable. All confirmed by ‘easy meat’ of course. 1 Million children effected? I suspect the number is alot higher.
It makes one wonder if they are all in it together and covering one another’s backsides. Maybe the reason the ROPers are “looked after” is that they know too much. Either that or as fellow “groomers” they have a mutual respect for one another.

As I live and breath – al beeb wants war… games ! It found a rent a mouth to say that President Trump was wrong to stop war games .
Al beeb still doesn’t realise that if promises sent kept and the North Koreans try to fiddle things President Trump will just say – once bitten twice she .
The likes of Sopel seem to accept anything instead of saying anything decent about President Trump – like the rest of al beeb
Fedup2.
I think President Trump has done something clever here. The 2018 war games have already taken place (April). It is an annual vent. Gives him time to evaluate if the process is going well. If not, all the plans are already done for next year and easy to start up again. Pity the BBC don’t have “analysts” that can work that one out.
Like him or hate him but don’t underestimate him. The BBC and the rest of the media are so blinded by hate they never pick up on things and end up looking dumber and dumber with each broadcast.
Isn’t it despicable that the establishment-controlled BBC are now criticising Trump’s meeting with Kim Jung-un. If that was the Obamessiah the BBC would be calling for a Nobel Peace prize. Pathetic. The British media is so smug, arrogant and snooty.
They are smug, arrogant and snooty but worse than that, they are corrupt to the core. They have a depraved mind.
JIC,
Its even worse than that they are alsoo anti democratic believing that they and those who share their agenda have a right to ride rough shod over the rest of us. This view is shared by MSM right across the West. As we can see from the titanic struggle in the USA between President Trump and the lib Dem MSM axis, winning an election isnt enough to overcome them, they hold so many of the levers of power, and use them so ruthlessly, that getting rid of them by democratic means may not be possible. We see exactly the same thing with Brexit and lets see how the Italian government is subverted by Brussels.
if the so called bbc are criticising it
it must be a good thing
and vice versa
thats my default position on all the poison they spew out
K
Yes I don’t think president trump can do anything good . What will Hillary say? Or the other swamp dwellers?
And if president Kim doesn’t live past the day president trump will get the blame for that too
And incredibly itv news is even more anti trump than al beeb – which is quite something
I rather suspect that, in Casa Clinton, another glass of Xanax-laced Bourbon is being wiped off the kitchen wall.

How odd.
From our correspondent in Moscow….
So Robinson is in Moscow, land of Putin, the murderous dictator who has poisoned his enemies on the streets of Britain, who assassinates journalists at will who criticise him and who has murdered his way across Syria to keep another murderous dictator in place and who has flooded Europe with millions of refugees…and Robinson sneers at Trump as he attempts to bring Kim Jong Un into the civilised world? Let’s not forget all those BBC journos on a jolly for the world cup in Russia…where are the moral high horses there? Put out to grass it seems. Rank hypocrisy from the Today idiot and his colleagues.
BBC Sopel has long stood high on his self-created dunghill of spite and prejudice, but ITN’s Robert Moore runs him close. To listen to this mealy-mouthed arsehole, you’d think Kim conceived and engineered the whole affair, with ‘Trump’ out-manoeuvred and sidelined by a consummate political paragon.
You’re a prat Moore.
I thought Sopel was unusually reserved about criticism of Trump on the bbc six tv news this eve, initially sounding quite complimentary. I’ve often thought that Moore, on the other hand, is consistently as you have so colourfully described him.
Robert Moore is a complete prick.
Look North Hull redeemed themselves a bit today.

Please “Like” this comment if you think President Trump should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
I wouldn’t want to award that politically soiled prize to anyone.
It’s meaningless after they awarded it to Al Gore and Obama.
Please “Like” this comment if you think Obama did nothing to deserve his Nobel Peace Prize.
Well, Obama was black and a Democrat, and I guess no one knew at the time he was going to be the lamest ever president.
Also why didnt Reagan get a Nobel peace prize for his work in bringing the cold war to an end and freeing the poor sods who had been under the Soviet’s tyrannical wing.
Good try Aunty.
Not sure anyone is buying anymore.
Third world, sh*thole barbaric practices, carried out by a third world, sh*thole barbaric people, following a third world, sh*thole barbaric cult, from third world, barbaric sh*thole countries, have no place in civilised human societies, end of ! If that attitude offends their culture, good ! Their ‘culture’ certainly offends me !
For years the BBC has criticised US joint military exercises with South Korea as dangerous provocations that were stoking tensions with North Korea…now Trump says he will put a hold on those exercises the BBC has a complete volte face and claims he is putting the peace of the region at risk.
Does the BBC make it up as it goes along?
Note the full comment that Trump actually made…he will stop the exercises ‘unless or until the negotiations stop going along as they should’…..why does the BBC miss out that important caveat, the BBC making out Trump has unilaterally stopped the exercises with no conditions and nothing in return for the US? The BBC presents their version of events as ‘a diplomatic triumph’ for Kim Jong Un calling Trump’s move ‘one big concession’…except of course he has things in return and such exercises were postponed just months ago anyway.
The BBC is strangely eager to pour floods of cold water onto this meeting…Kuenssberg calling the result a ‘nothing burger’ and we’ve had BBC journos across the board being equally dismissive and mocking. Trouble is they don’t seem to understand, or want to understand what is going on.
We were told Trump is doing it all wrong…such a meeting between leaders should come at the end of maybe years of intricate negotiations between diplomatic minions only to be signed off in a grand summit once everything is concluded and agreed. How then does the BBC expect Trump to come out with a highly complex, important and meaningful agreement on an issue as difficult as nuclear disarmament after only a few hours? The BBC is clearly on the attack and making ridiculous suggestions that Trump should have come out wth North Korea signed up to handing over all its nukes tomorrow.
What’s really going on is Kim Jong un has been led into a soft trap…he’s been tempted onto the world stage to grandstand and make many promises which he will now have to honour or lose completely the very fragile and precious new status that has been bestowed upon him by Trump’s manoeuvring. North Korea is a volatile and capricious regime that negotiates by firing off ballistic missiles but it knows it has met someone who plays them at the same game…they may well still try and make waves but it is far less likely now than ever before…after all why would Kim Jong Un not want to develop his nation as China has? What would he have to gain by backing out…he can keep his nuclear weapons but remain a poverty stricken pariah nation or he can dump them and turn into a successful and rich nation like China or South Korea.
The BBC doesn’t interpret events in that way…it solely seeks to promote an entirely negative view of the summit and to trash Trump telling us he has endangered peace and given Kim Jong Un a diplomatic triumph. Truth is Trump had the triumph and the BBC hates it.

If you wanna cheap laugh look at the citation by the Nobel committee to justify giving Obama the peace prize a few months after gaining office . And that at some time 61% of Americans didn’t think he deserved it . In his always florid acceptance speech he cited the struggle to get saints like the Burmese leader an sang Sui shi out -well that was an achievement leading to war and not peace .
I’m not saying President Trump deserves the prize but he has done more than Obama ever did already- after all the last US President to have dealings directly was another beauty – jimmy carter about 5 presidents ago .
The polarity of Al beeb where 1 man can do nothing right and another can do nothing wrong just doesn’t register with the beeboids and I really don’t get it – even with daily evidence of bias here .
In the words of “The Stranglers” something better change
Nominations for the peace prize closed 11 days after Obama became president. What a guy!
I think Donald Trump should change his name to Ron Seal.
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Dyst
And there’s a golden brown version
Well observed, Pug.
Great post, Pug. You have put your finger on something that governs human behaviour more than is generally recognised – our fear of appearing inconsistent.
Salesmen use this fear to their advantage all the time. Imagine you don’t want to buy their product and they ask you why not. You say it is the price. They will trap you by saying something like, “So you like the product but the only thing that stops you buying it is the price?” If you say yes, then they have you. When they then say they’ll knock something off the price, you will feel morally bound to buy it. Why? Because otherwise you will appear inconsistent – in effect, silly, weak-minded, untrustworthy, stupid, a timewaster. Nobody wants to appear inconsistent.
You’re absolutely right, Pug, when you say that Kim Jong Un has been led into such a soft trap. The BBC are trying to suggest that Kim might be running rings around Trump. But it’s the other way round. Trump is one of the smartest operators ever to appear in public life. Everyone, especially his detractors, underestimates him. He continues to astonish me. I suspect that Trump laid some important groundwork when Pompeo met the Chinese foreign minister. We probably won’t learn the full details of this preparatory work for many years. But I think Trump does his homework and knows exactly how power and influence work.
The BBC themselves suffer from this fear of appearing inconsistent. Having despised and ridiculed Trump from day one, they cannot afford to give him the slightest bit of credit, even when he’s saving the world from nuclear war. Why? Because they might then have to admit to being inconsistent, that they seriously underestimated Trump, that they got him completely wrong, that everything they’ve been saying about him for the last three years has been vindictive twaddle, that all their journalists, reporters, experts, pundits, special correspondents and editorial teams have been fools and not worth a single penny of their inflated salaries.
BBC wales news was a disgrace. It finally reported on FGM and but only to say allegations of FGM ares about Islamophobia.
At one point the BBC stated that “Campaigners say it doesn’t happen in wales.” (Hmmm! Which campaigners?)
The BBC then said, there were only 17 cases of FGM in Wales last year, and they happened to children born outside the UK (as if that matters!)
All this is odd, as the BBC report below said there were 123 victims in Wales last year, which “Charity Welsh Women’s Aid, said those “figures showed just the “tip of the iceberg”.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-39630199
or, as the BBC puts it on the web page below: “An estimated 2,000 women and girls in Wales are living with FGM in Wales”
“Some 220 victims of FGM have been supported since 2013 by Bawso, a charity which helps women affected by the practice in Wales.”
“Charity Welsh Women’s Aid said it was estimated 2,000 women in Wales are living with FGM.”
Found here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-43966944
So who is lying, the BBC or the BBC?
Or as The Guardian, the BBC in print put it in the item below: Muslims will do anything to hide FGM:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/mar/07/reported-cases-fgm-rise-sharply-uk-no-court-convictions
“The BBC then said, there were only 17 cases of FGM in Wales last year,”
So these are the ones they know about?
How many arrests were made?
How many prosecutions?
FGM only becomes a statistic if an arrest is made.
One law … notice that the article does not mention religion, Muslim or Islam …
When detective chief inspector Leanne Pook began investigating allegations that a father in Bristol had allowed his six-year-old daughter to undergo female genital mutilation, she hoped the case – the second to reach court – could go on to make legal history. It has been more than three decades since FGM was made illegal in the UK, but there is yet to be a successful prosecution. The first case, in 2015, resulted in an NHS doctor being acquitted in less than 30 minutes.
Trump bringing world peace not even the main story on Five Live news bulletin, and their mention of the story is perfunctory and says critics say (we think) the plan lacks detail.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It just gets better and better with Trump. How childish and pathetic they look for giving him no credit even when he is literally saving the world. What losers!
Quite right Beeb!
Last night – or maybe the night before that silly Berkshire wireless bird said that Mrs May’s ‘dilemma’ was keeping President Trump’s triumph off the front pages!
Silly bitch. Not so! I checked, and it wasn’t the case at all. Where do they get these junior autocue readers from?
Probably already been said, but the headline on the BBC ‘news’ website finishes with the words ‘but it appears Donald Trump gave significant ground’. Jeez, they just don’t give up do they. Snide comments, what else do you expect?
The bookies have President Trump at 7/4 fav to win the next election with colonel” Bernie “sanders next at 12/1 despite – msm ( nearly wrote brexit out of habit)
Chalky, you can never ever believe a single prat-note from the bbbc these days.
Negative, silly, a bit thick and above all, leftie trash autocueisms from their undermanagers!
Forget their ridiculous bias, watch Fox and others, and think of England!
Better still read the info we all like here, and it’s a much better place for blood pressure!

Apologies to all on this site as I posted on this thread yesterday about the EastEnders character Stuart Highway being indicated to be a paedophile. I may have jumped the gun a bit as it appears it’s a red-herring storyline that continued tonight with Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter reporting him to the police. According to Metro online’s spoilers he’s not a white, middle-aged paedophile but actually a white, middle-aged paedophile hunter trying to lure pervs out by posing as a child:
https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/11/eastenders-spoilers-paehophile-hunter-storyline-ahead-for-stuart-halfway-and-mick-carter-7598284/
Still, I’d be (mildly) interested to see what the scriptwriters make of this, and how paedophiles are portrayed in the EastEnders-verse. It’s not like they don’t already have form with another recent “torn from the headlines” story – about London knife crime, where all the stabby gang members were white English teenagers.
My basic presumption remains the same – that EastEnders will continue to exhibit a left-wing, anti-British agenda. For example, when ignorant, gobby, workshy Karen Taylor was revealed a few months ago as – surprise! – a Brexit voter.
Enough trivia. I believe there’s something else going on in the World?
Haven’t watched that shite, or ITV’s offering either for over 15 years, TC. Grim, social engineering posing as so called “entertainment”.
Toobi,
True. Even Emmerdale has had a story lately about historic child sex abuse – all committed by a white police officer.
I really ought to stop being so lazy and find something more productive to do in the evenings.
Observing brush applied, pigment based coatings as its solvent evaporates is a good substitute, TC. 🙂
Toobi,
Might as well.
Recently bought a new telly as my old plasma gave up the ghost. It’s a beautiful OLED model with fantastic picture quality.
Same old sh!t on it, though.
This document is so vague as to almost be meaningless, is how the chief foreign correspondent of NBC News described the historic signing by Trump and Kim of a document that could well be the first step towards real peace in the region.
(At 4 minutes 30 seconds in)
I thought for a moment I was watching the BBC.
