Weekend Open Thread 16 June 2018

It is lucky that the BBC is not funded through viewing figures because the decline must be substantial – particularly amongst people using paid platforms.

The question must be “when will politicians from the right have the courage to challenge and change the bias of al beeb ?”

    My God, what a shower of lefty shit on offer.
    So pompous, patronising and smug.
    Anybody would think that the likes of McElvoy, Taylor, Buerk and Saddiqi , entitled puffballs like “Sir” Robert Cooper? Utter wind tunnels who crave the smack of Mosley and his Brownshirts, the UN and EU-and dripping hate for Trump, America and anybody with a mind of their own.
    Cooper wants us all “dealt with” so we`ll not go populist…luvaduck, where do people like him get off on all this-as if Roy Jenkins is being channeled in a seance.
    But it all shows the BBC for what they are. Louche, lazy minded sneering fascists in hipster guise, a blagged Prius.

    Excellent post chrisH. 🙂 🙂

    The Left and the BBC will lead not only to the death of western civilisation, but also to the death of themselves.

    But they can’t see it.

      Stew – thank you for the figures – I was guessing – anecdotally that mass watch of al beeb had gone but I didn’t realise it was that bad – and really good news
      I was trying to remember the threshold below which the stats are unreliable . No doubt al beeb would say their output is being viewed differently from the way figures are compiled or some of lie .

      Can but think what the numbers are for al beeb political shows other than people inside the bubble .
      Shows how so much of the sound and fury is without value to non bubble dwellers .

        I would imagine Newsnight’s viewing figures are tiny – barely more than the number of Guardian readers in the Country. I mean who except middle class public sector workers would look forward to watching that Leftist shite every night, never mind pay for it.

        Smearing Conservative politicians as paedophiles is about their moral level. I saw some Gollum like figure saying that Korea was about a publicity hungry dictator getting some attention, and he did not mean Trump. How we laughted in the aisles.

        Expecting any sort of intellectually balanced analysis on Newsnight is like expecting the BBC to come up with a solution that does not involve raising taxes. Newsnight is made by Lefties for Lefties and paid for by the rest of you, because (sanctimoniously) living off everybody else is all they know. The BBC is about abuse of power and little else. Scrap the Licence fee.

          It can only be a matter of time before those who have grown up in the pre internet years are not habitual viewers of al beeb -perhaps as long as 10 to 20 years so anything this site can do to hasten that is good with me -particularly declining to pay for al beeb whatever the consequences .

          My judgement on change is often wrong so that assessment of 10 to 20 years might be 5 years if we get a conservative Government some day .

    Sky News states that Brexit will provide an NHS financial bonus greater than promised by the infamous ‘Red Bus’.

    “”Mrs May is setting out the five-year budget to mark the 70th anniversary of the health service and says the extra money will come from what is being termed a “Brexit dividend”.””

    https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-cash-and-taxpayer-wallets-to-fund-nhs-cash-boost-11407277

    BBC Online News cover this news, but doesn’t mention May’s quote regarding the ‘Brexit dividend’.

      Here’s a novel suggestion for Mrs May and her gang:

      1. Get rid of all the third world immigrants from our country. This will ease pressure on the NHS, roads, education, housing, policing, in fact every aspect of our lives where we are expected to keep paying increasing amounts of our money to the state.

      2. Give us back our money. This can be done by abolishing or at least drastically reducing VAT. Again this will significantly reduce the cost of living for everyone. After all VAT was introduced to fund our contribution to the EU coffers, so once we are out it shouldn’t be necessary.

        No way. They simply just enjoy spending others’ money with (forgive me) ‘gay abandon’. [I hope I have not offended anybody with that expression in view of the fact that, Amy was threatened by the police to break her door down if she did not open it to be, as we eventually saw, arrested (https://youtu.be/dWBU39wrots). Why? She casually used the expression, “Have a gay day” which the police saw as homophobic].

    Imagine if a Christian had desecrated a muslim symbol, or worse, had bacon sandwiched a muslim home.
    The indignation would be heard all the way to mecca. Another case of the bias lying in what the beeb FAILS to report.
    The gutsy woman called the police and is prosecuting. No doubt the beeb webshite will give extensive coverage of the case, and no doubt the boys in blue will treat it with the severity they would show towards islamophobia. Or does it only work one way?

Ripping the small cross off an American’s neck by the Mutaween (religious police) in a Panda Store in Saudi. He just happened to be pushing a trolley around after his wife and small children. The cross was thrown on the floor and ground in under the foot of the one ripping it off.

Some estimates put the crowd after some massive advertising at 13000, though Diane Abbott thought 300 000 was nearer the mark which she hopes will double to 400 000 next year.

        All true. But the Brownshirts started up on the back of haywains, getting laughed at by the Weimar liberal press too. And-lest we forget- at least Labour HAVE a few useful muppets who`d show up to a car crash of an event like this. The Tories sure don`t, and this will be a one party system if this lot get into power, so I`d worry if I were a Tory.
        The culture is gone to the left, all we have is Islam on one side, and the hope of Tommy Robinson by way of a bolthole on the other.
        As I say-I`d be worried.

    Does anyone think there is any way of these twats understanding the real concerns of those who pay for their jobs and pensions ? :

    Thank you for getting in touch regarding BBC News Website.

    Your correspondence doesn’t specifically refer to an article which caused you concern, but your concern appears to the lack of reporting about rape perpetrated by ‘Pakistani gangs’ against young girls and that you feel the BBC are “Muslim sympathisers”.

    In previous reporting on Operation Sanctuary, we’ve stated that those prosecuted were from the Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Iraqi, Iranian and Turkish communities and mainly British-born, with most living in the West End of Newcastle. Where relevant we will continue to report in the same manner.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-40879427

    BBC News never takes a position on anything that we cover. We are careful to check and report the facts surrounding any debate, examine relevant arguments, and offer detailed analysis. We believe that by doing this our audience can then make up their own minds.

    I appreciate your feedback and I can also assure you that your complaint was included in our overnight feedback report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly.

    Kind regards

        It is a psychological problem, known as ‘denialism’. A concise definition was given by the French anthropologist Didier Fassin: “an ideological position whereby one systematically reacts by refusing reality and truth”. In the case of liberals, the problem is compounded in that much of their world view is based upon falsehood and denial, such that they are not capable, intellectually or psychologically, of acting in a rational manner. Falling back on emotivism, known colloquially as ‘hurrah/boo theory’, they obsess with trivia and avoid real issues. Very useful, if you want a world in which people worry more about upskirting photographs rather than, say, asking questions about who is behind mass migration and its purpose.
        So, Annunaki, whilst it would be wrong to describe people with different views as mentally deranged, such as was done in the Soviet Union and which some people here want, it may not be too far off the mark to say that some may benefit from mental health treatment.

    An unintentional wry smile but no praise for the newspaper review this morning.

    Yesterday I was moved to praise the BBC Breakfast newspaper guest reviewer for his honest admission:

    “I have a soft spot for the Lib Dems”

    No such frankness from our press review guest today. Although her choice of a ‘Tory Cuts’ story, together with a parting side-swipe at the bad “unintended consequences of Brexit”, more than hint at where this female commentator might sit on the political spectrum.

    And this is the problem, for unless the BBC’s newspaper review guests tell us their politics how can we judge whether the BBC is providing a fair balance of views?

    I promised a little humour. Well, it went like this: today’s female guest was a rather striking lady of ample proportions and of african heritage with an utterly unpronounceable name and whose obvious point of interest for the BBC was her promotion of diversity in so-called stem subjects. You get the picture. Her reaction to the apparent discomfort of ‘male pale and stale’ performers in the arts who are now apparently feeling they no longer fit in, was, she said, “they need to give up their seats”.

    So, I’ve set the scene; the BBC’s beta male / feisty female pairing of the gurning Chris Mason and the dumb-but-non-blonde Sally Nugent are perched on the sofa on lefty-liberal social-justice-warrior absolute diversity BAME tenterhooks with this guest…

    They pull up a folded page from the Sunday editions to show to the camera so as to highlight the chosen press report their guest wants talk about…

    So, Frank Bruno is a Grandfather…

    Oh no, it wasn’t that diversity interest article she chose… it was the Tory Library Cuts report on the same page.

    Whoops. Bit of a micro aggression there. Next you’ll be asking the black woman if she likes reggae music.

    And, after that awkward moment of white-liberal-cringe, we close with an after-thought – through gritted teeth we get a muffled half-hearted BBC shout-out for Father’s Day.

      Stupid comment, it’s increasing everywhere. Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newport and Bristol to name just a few with significant problems.

      London has a population of 8m, the others don’t. Look at the percentages.

    Spain welcomes disputed Aquarius migrants
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44510002

    Probably a more accurate headline would be “Left wing Spanish politician welcomes illegal migrants”, but never mind.

    The photo used in the article shows a light skinned women with a child, but the video shows exclusively young African males. I have not read anywhere that there are any Syrians amongst them.

    The key point that the article doesn’t address is that these 600 or so migrants have absolutely no right to enter the EU.

    “Italy’s populist coalition – and in particular its interior minister, the right-wing League party leader Matteo Salvini – has taken a hard-line approach to immigration and refused to let it dock.”

    This is wrong, Italy has taken a hard line approach to ILLEGAL immigration, which surely should be the policy of every sane government it is clearly what the Italian people want.

    BBC web site headline: “Moscow crash taxi driver ‘feared crowd lynching’”

    The BBC excuses the Kazakhstan man’s actions with the line “The man says he had been at the wheel for 20 hours, and mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.”

    Now the problem here is that there is a clear video of the event.

    So, we all know that not only would the man have accidently had to press his foot on the accelerator to cause the assaults, but he would have accidently had to veer out of the traffic. He then would have accidently had to direct his vehicle at the crowd of people, rather than any where else on the street. He would finally have had to accidently continued to accelerate until he hit a post, which stopped his ‘accident’.

    The BBC’s views rest on the Russian police force being honest. I’m not sure they are can rely on that.

    When every utterance of the Blair creature or sad grey Major reaches the headlines, and every shouty utterance of Nicola ‘Wee Burnie’ Sturgeon on Scottish Independence is instantly given prominence on the BBC, it is most surprising that Gordon Brown comments that ” Scotland would run up £100billion in debt in a decade if they win independence” has been ignored. I would have thought that that was a pretty significant comment. However, it does have to compete against Jezza-fest, Trump derangement syndrome and … football (Ugh!).

    Amazing isn’t it…Chopper Chopes takes the axe to upskirting legislation and the world goes into a panic of outraged indignation….however, Tory anti-Brexit mutineers betray the biggest democratic vote this country has had, betray Britain and betray the very concept of democracy as they indulge themselves with a soft coup attempt as they try to sabotage Brexit and nobody looks twice.

    Whilst Labour entertains the nation unintentionally with the Jeztfest farce the Tories make the BBC Corbynistas choke on their Sunday Muesli as May opens up the coffers and splurges £600m a week on the NHS.

    I listened to the news on R4 this morning and it took a long, long time for them to mention £350m, which is odd as the BBC is always trying to embarrass Brexiteers with that figure….the BBC today sticking to £20bn or 3.4%. Odd also how Boris gets no mention in the news…all the ‘credit’ goes to Jeremy Hunt who the BBC says has been pressing for a huge rise in NHS spending. Back in January the BBC was doing its usual thing by attacking Boris for anything he says….‘Boris Johnson rebuked over NHS cash plea’

    We were told that ‘Tory MP Anna Soubry said Mr Johnson had to “man up” and stop “conning people”.

    Labour accused Mr Johnson of returning “to the scene of his previous crimes”.’

    It was clearly Boris who was driving the debate…‘Theresa May has called for discussions about future NHS funding to remain private after Boris Johnson publicly called for more money after Brexit.
    Before Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, it was widely reported that the foreign secretary would pitch for a £100m a week “Brexit dividend” for the NHS. ‘

    Funny the BBC don’t mention him now. They did finally get around to mentioning the £350m but it was the ‘controversial’ £350m…despite the fact that the BBC ‘Reality Check’ said the figure would in fact be £361m. Memories and facts so soon forgotten.

    The BBC has gone straight on the attack and makes the claim that Boris and Co ‘promised’ £350m for the NHS…but how could a campaign group make that promise? It couldn’t…it made a suggestion that’s all.
    Jon Pienaar immediately tries to dismiss claims there is a ‘Brexit bonus’ [or as the BBC now says the ‘so-called’ Brexit bonus] by saying ‘we are entitled to be more than a little bit sceptical as the Bank of England [Remainer central along with the Treasury] has said Brexit will dampen the economy’.

    BBC Corbynistas take a double-whammy on Sunday morning as the Jezziah seems not to be able to walk on water after all and the nasty Tories are pumping huge amounts of money into the NHS.

    The BBC fights back though with a dodgy presentation of stats as the less than balanced Nick Triggle tells us that ‘The NHS in England is to get an extra £20bn a year by 2023 as a 70th “birthday present”, Theresa May says.
    It means the £114bn budget will rise by an average of 3.4% annually – but that is still less than the 3.7% average rise the NHS has had since 1948.’

    Of course that is a stat that has no context or perspective…it’s 3.4% of a much bigger pot….a different BBC report gives a more nuanced and informative, truer, perspective…

    _101732326_nhs_budget_amount.png

    Amazing how the impartial, balanced, unbiased, accurate, factual BBC produces so much that is half-truths and outright lies.

      You are absolutely right.
      Whatever happened to the mantras ” MPs are representatives not delegates”, “MPs are elected to use their own best judgement in the interests of their constituents”, “the Lords do no wrong when they act within the constitutional conventions of parliament” and “populism is mob rule”. Suddenly, the medja volte faces about “the will of the people” -supposedly a bogus concept – and uses some form of thought transfer to determine the “will of the people”. Nothing distinguishes medja activism from mob rule – neither have any democratic legitimacy.
      If you really think an elected oligarchy is a good thing (parliament not the people are sovreign) then why are you outraged when an oligarch excercises his rights?

      I, and I’m sure others, always used to scream at the telly when the Brexit Bus thing was being discussed.

      It was never a promise, just an example. Hence the language “LET’S spend…”

      When you are trying to get someone off the bottle or gambling, you might say “Hey, let’s spend that money on something else, like a nice holiday”.

      In all honesty I don’t think it swayed anywhere near the numbers Remain always liked to claim. There was so much negativity and ‘pressure’ from the establishment that the chance of people being swayed by just 1 message is ridiculous. But what Remain hated was that Leave weaponised the NHS, a darling child that only the left are usually allowed to use.

    Craig from Is the BBC biased? transcribes the words of Douglas Murray as he relates how BBC journalists are intimidated into silence as they choose not to cover certain stories because of the massive pressure they come under…a tactic very popular with Islamists and Corbynistas alike….one applied not just to Journalists but also to academics, politicians and businesses as those who seek to close down debate and keep their activities under cover of darkness intimidate and bully to get their way….

    ‘Here’s something Douglas Murray said on the programme:

    I’m not answering for Bari but, if I can say so, I think we all know exactly what is going on it with these attacks. If you got a load of crap you get when you write about one thing, when you see something else that is a lie are you likely to identify it as such or are you likely to think I could do without that crap as well it? I know journalists all across our country – and many journalists from the BBC – who say things like, ‘I’m not willing to take x on as a subject. I’m just not willing to’. I’ve had this discussion with senior people in the BBC who have admitted to me they don’t want to take stuff on because they know what’s coming their way if they do. Now an individual may occasionally be willing to take on one big fight, but there’s just the point where you go, you know…I said some years ago, ‘I’ve already got some Islamist problems going for me. I’ve already been told not to appear in public by the police for some time. I could do without the transsexuals coming for me as well. I could just do with a break this week, OK!’ We’ve all had that instinct. Sometimes that’s fine, but a lot of the time it isn’t, and it’s people ducking questions because the price of speaking honestly has become too high for people to want to pay it.’

    It’s a tactic used by political ‘terrorists’ down the ages…here’s Hitler noting the same in Mein Kampf…

    ‘I recognized the infamy of that technique whereby the movement carried on a campaign of mental terrorism against the bourgeoisie, who are neither morally nor spiritually equipped to withstand such attacks. The tactics of Social Democracy consisted in opening, at a given signal, a veritable drum-fire of lies and calumnies against the man whom they believed to be the most redoubtable of their adversaries, until the nerves of the latter gave way and they sacrificed the man who was attacked, simply in the hope of being allowed to live in peace. But the hope proved always to be a foolish one, for they were never left in peace.
    The same tactics are repeated again and again, until fear of these mad dogs exercises, through suggestion, a paralysing effect on their Victims. ‘

    Yes, it’s Hitler, but in this case he’s absolutely spot on as he nails the ‘mad dog’ technique used by those who try to paralyse their victims and drive them from the political arena through fear.

    It is of course no use surrendering to these pressures as once you show weakness the attacks just get worse and when you fall by the wayside they target the next victim and of course in time there are fewer and fewer people to try and stand up to these attackers, who then win…pretty much as the Islamists have in Britain as the BBC tries to appease them and normalise the backward, violent and deeply unpleasant Islamic ideology.

      Which leaves an uncomfortable dilemma for those on our side of the debate. Do we need to start using the same tactics? Make BBC journalists feel in need of police protection if they won’t acknowledge the problems of, for instance, Muslim terrorism? Threaten violence for their anti-Trump and anti-Brexit stance?

      Is that a lesser evil than doing nothing? Because if things go on as they are, it’s going to get ugly. Perhaps sooner rather than later. We may be only an attack on Tommy Robinson away from serious civil unrest.
