Presidential and general thread 11 July 2018

Welcome President Trump – now that’s a phrase we won’t hear on al beeb . Al beeb is neutral , untainted by bias , a world class broadcaster , so compare that with the last time an American President visited Britain and so many embarrassed themselves in exultation.

It won’t be difficult to evidence the bias but it needs to be done here.

regrets Engerland But the boys dun good .
It will be painful to see the French Africa team take the Croats apart in the final but al beeb will stick a multicultural spin on it

    More great stuff from Trump about Brexit. He shares our disdain for the political class and their compulsive lying, betraying their voters. He is one of us.

    Big spelling mistake on the BBC News main page. I guess the BBC staff are getting ready for the Trump protest and haven’t got time to do their job today.

    Under the title Trump: Brexit plan could kill US trade deal
    The US president also says the ex-Foreign SOecretary Boris Johnson “would make a great prime minister”.

    Just recorded the 8am news crap from Jon Sopel and Chris Mason re Trump, May, Brexit.
    Mason has GOT to be related to James-what a ham, what a performance. He really needs to go into acting.
    Have a listen-what moment!
    And now , finger over press button on my school cassette for the Wandsworth one-some BBC actress does a great job on emphasising how long a dead Portuguese prisoner had been left hanging in 2016-“Thirty Seven Minutes”. Zowie Conway!
    Is there an award at the BBC for failed Byker Grove wannabes like Chris and Zowie?

    Not sure which of them will be wearing the slit black gown on the wed carpet. MeToo.
    Great acting.
    Oh, its coming up…byeee!
    PS-anybody else still use cassettes for the car? Now Bin Ladens been slotted, I seem to have the market all to myself at school.

    PPS-public sector grandees or Trump re trade? I for one know that May knows more!

    Superb-oh, here it is…Byeee!

    Sadiq Khan on Toady now lecturing us on our traditions of free speech. Cheers Sadiq, I really needed a Muslim, a man whose mosque still practises gender segregation, to inform me of traditional British freedoms and rights!
    He was asked about the Trump blimp and he continued with his blather about freedom of speech and mentioned that there were protests in London tomorrow from the “extreme far right…” I had to think for a while before the penny dropped….bloody hell, that’s me!
    Those of us who are going to attend the Free Tommy Robinson demo, tomorrow, 3pm in Whitehall, are now officially the “extreme far right”.
    He continued to pour scorn on the president’s belief that we had imported violent crime. “The suggestion that immigration from Africa is responsible for knife crime is clearly nonsense” our diminutive mayor blithely mused.
    Oh yeh? Have you seen these kids? Each and every one of them come from Africa and / or other charming enriching areas of the world. How have we not imported it?
    Knife crime, gun crime, gang violence and drugs and now that delightful ethnic pass-time of throwing acid in someone’s face. Bless ’em!
    These are the real delights of third world immigration.
    Go Trump!

      Great post “ extreme far right “ was what he said .

      The albeeb msm bubble is fully inflated today . I thought our Justin crossed the bias line clearly in his interview with Sir Lord Alan Duncan – not the most pleasant of Conservative s and almost hot him to accuse al beeb of bias . Pity these characters never have the courage to take these beeboids on .

      But I suppose they are afraid of reprisals from the State Broadcaster.

    What a disgraceful level of bias the BBC have reduced themselves to.

    Last night we had Jon Sopel putting on a fake angry voice when reporting on the comments of President Trump.

    He went on to say “I wonder whether all the those people who criticised President Obama for his statement on Brexit, saying he interfered, will be now saying the same about Trump”

    The difference is Jon, Obama said his bit BEFORE the referendum, in an attempt to illegally influence the outcome. Trump said his bit AFTER the referendum in response to this Government attempting to illegally deny the people their rightful outcome.

    Wasn’t it Sopel who, in a press conference with the POTUS in Washington said “The BBC is fair and impartial”

    You should be sacked immediately.

      It’s the impotent hysterical, paroxism of Trump hate from all liberal media orifices I enjoy so much.
      I even tuned into O’Brien on LBC in the hope that some long-latent aneurism might go pop on air because of the latest “outrage”.
      Apparently, Trump lies 3000 times a day and James was puzzled why the plebs weren’t bothered. Trump’s “lies” are inconsequential – who cares how many people turned up at the inauguration? The left expect the plebs to believe their big lies like “it’s nothing to do with Islam – Islam is the religion of peace.”

    Nothing to do with the BBC really but worth a look at how useless the BBC favourite Labour Party have become.

    Jeremy Corbyn saying our PM has invited Trump over “at a time when his dangerous and inhumane policies are putting the lives and wellbeing of millions of people at risk.” – bit of an exaggeration!

    He then continues, “The Labour Party is strongly committed to dialogue including those we strongly disagree with and in government we would find a way to work with his administration”

    He then suggests the red carpet shouldn’t have come out. Seriously, he is suggesting Labour would still work with Trump but not use a red carpet?!?

    I did enjoy ‘The indignation has landed’ commentary between Jon Sopel and Justin Webb on Toady this a.m.
    Webb had failed to impose the beeb’s just demands on Secretary of State, Duncan, as to how the government should treat The Donald. Sopel was still upset that his hero, Barack O. had been criticized for interfering (and threatening the British public-not mentioned).
    Both have not yet noticed that the Donald speaks his mind, and does not lay claim to be World’s top diplomat.
    So both were very, very indignant. Especially as they think Toady should be able to instruct the Government on HOW diplomacy with the US should be run.
    We also had the pleasure of an interview with Citizen Khan. Turned out HE was all about Free Speech, and how he couldn’t possibly interfere. I can think of quite a few blimps Khan would not only forbid, but shoot down personally, the hypocrite.

    A bit like the specially selected, balanced, question time panels and audiences.

    6 violently anti Trump saying things like “we want to show him that the people of the U.K. do not want him here”
    The impression the bbc want to give is that nobody wants Trump here.
    1 token Trump supporter (who, although they disagreed with Trump and don’t like him, still think he should be allowed to come)

    Lots of ‘some people’ comments from the anti Trump bbc.

    BBC dishonest as usual.
    I rarely listen to the BBC . Instead of R4 Today, I listen to Nick Ferrari on LBC. Where the boring BBC talks to itself or its favoured friends, on LBC one capable presenter with a small team supplies intersting coverage and a wide variety of commentators. On LBC, this morning, discussion of Trump’s interview with the Sun newspaper covered his criticism of Theresa May’s “trade Deal” and Trumps opinion that Europe was destroying it’s culture through mass immigration. I turned to R4 this morning at 8am to see how they covered Trumps Sun interview. They spent the whole hour talking to their own corresponants about the trade deal , the criticism of Sadiq Khan, and agreeing with themselves that they all hate trump, but there was not any mention of Trumps comments on mass immigration.

      Denton, BBC ‘talking to itself’ is right, they do!

      Along with what must be a very select (and rapidly shrinking) body of brainwashed disciples it all seems to be ‘reporters’ on the same wavelength, talking to each other. I very rarely watch anything BBC these days (no licence, no need), but when I do you can smell the desperation.

      If you’re a regular visitor to HYS on the BEEB website you can see the same userIDs constantly repeating themselves with the same puerile (‘gammon bashing’ and ‘exit Brexit’) comments. Even the up and down arrows on HYS don’t seem to work correctly, so shouldn’t be believed… and the subjects they carefully select to allow people to comment on, all carefully orchestrated, but so transparent.

      Let’s be honest, the BBC have become a farce and everyone knows it, is Trump partly behind that, and this website too? I’d like to think so in both cases.

    I caught a few moments of Phil Williams on 5Live last night. He had as a guest some American professor who is currently getting paid by the University of Birmingham.

    We had a ‘Tonto’ moment when we were told that ‘we’ don’t like people like ‘Trump’ coming over here and insulting us as ‘we’ believe in being polite. Funny, has he missed all of the continuous insults made against ‘Trump’ by ‘impartial’ journalists on both sides of the Atlantic ever since he ran for office? The BBC can even work anti-‘Trump’ material into a weather forecast.

    Later on our ‘expert’ told us how ‘Trump’ had fooled the deplorables into believing that he was not part of the ‘elite’ when he very much was. Surely it must be obvious to our ‘expert’ that President Trump isn’t one of the mainstream political class? The nouveau riche might have as much or even more money than the aristocracy but they will never be of that class.

    Oh how the BBC loved this-working class, safely dead comedian amusing the liberati round the old pianoforte.
    I see Trump as the Les Dawson of politics-we KNOW what tunes he`s playing and he`s driving the Left to madness and mockery every time he goes to that keyboard. Comedy disruption par excellance.
    Trump is Les Dawson-playing all the right noted in the order WE want-not the orchestrated wank than lefty parlour game ordure would reathe rhave hoped he`d have been doing for their verite by now.
    Keep those tunes coming Donald! We`re listening!
    2. Tim Henman being asked advice on how to win the tennis by a Beeboid squash supplicant on equally outrageous pay, and knowing as much about wiff waff as my cat(PBUH).
    Yet nobody laughs at the BBC.
    hence our love of Les Trump and Donald Dawson!

    The following day something even more unprecedented happened: at Britain’s memorial service for the war dead of last Tuesday, the first chords of “The Star-Spangled Banner” rumbled up from the great organ at St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Queen did something she’s never done before – she sang a foreign national anthem, all the words. She doesn’t sing her own obviously (“God Save Me”), but she’s never sung “La Marseillaise” or anything else, either; her lips never move.

    And at that same service she also sang “The Battle Hymn Of The Republic”, for the second time in her life – the first was at the funeral of her first Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. On Friday, she fought back tears. When she ascended the throne, Harry Truman was in the White House. The first President she got to know was Eisenhower, back in the war, when he would come to the Palace to brief her father. She is the head of state of most of the rest of the English-speaking world – Queen of Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Bahamas, Belize, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, etc. But she understands something that few other leaders of the west seem to – that today the ultimate guarantor of the peace and liberty of her realms is the United States. If America falls, or is diminished, or retreats in on itself, there is no “free world”. That’s the meaning of the Queen’s “Ich bin ein Amerikaaner” moment.

    The protests thus far are utterly pathetic with low turnout by ethnic minorities and Labour/Greenpeace voters tapping pots and pans and blowing whistles. The bbc however are ‘bigging’ up these pathetic protests as are Sky. Every Trump report starts with a smug reporter telling us about the protests everywhere when in fact the pictures show us that they are an insignificant rabble of leftists, ethnic minority activists and Islamists. It’s so blatant thst Sky and BBC are cheerleading these childish protests. And it’s laughable for Sadiq Khan to defend the balloon by citing freedom of speech, when in this country if you criticise or protest against Islam you get arrested. I do not feel like I belong in this country. As I type a bbc reporter is advertising for the Trump protests telling us that these activists are growing and are a melting pot of activists.

    BBC spin, ‘Trump has embarassed May by Brexit comment’.

    No, BBC, May did that herself when she sold us out!

    President Trump is attacked over many things. One is ‘the environment’ when actually ‘some people’ are refering to the so-called ‘Paris Accord’.

    I feel for the people of Japan whose friends and relatives have died in the floods in the Hiroshima area.

    Tragic and unfortunate that that event is, it highlights the total hypocrisy, double mindedness and stupidity of humankind thinking it can control ‘the climate’, whatever is meant by ‘the climate’ because all sorts of factors define that, not least human personal preference.

    I remember enviro-mentalists telling us all in the 1990s that not only were we going to increasingly fry during the first or second decade of the 21st century but that we were also going to endure massive drought sometime in those decades. At the same time they were telling us that glaciers would be melting all over the place and the poles would be ice-free and sea levels rise, not realising the obvious contradiction in their predictions.

    I wish President Trump would read up a little on the history of enviro-mentalists and their predictions, memorise them and trot them out when TV & radio interviewers ask him.

    It would be great to have him with some two or three liners for the history books on all ‘the things’ he is accused of. I fear that in 20 years time, if the globe is still spinning as is, the Alt-Left would have short one-line sentences and Tweets from which they construct the ‘history of President Trump’s time in office’ It would not be a fair one. I hope it is a fruitful time as President and I wish him well.

    Mr President, please ease up on the Tweeting and also get those pins made of the balloon protest image in time for your next visit.

    Ok, so the protestors have had a day off work, met up with like minded mates in London to blow a few whistles, nice weather to make a bit of noise and get on the telly. What’s the outcome ? what’s been achieved apart from traffic congestion ? bugger all. I’m surprised people can be arsed to travel to London to have a bit of a rant that they could do on Twitter. Although I have a chuckle when some are interviewed – not articulate, same old clichéd responses, and appear to have only one brain cell.

      Brissles,
      “…not articulate, same old clichéd responses, and appear to have only one brain cell.” If you look carefully you can see the clockwork key still sticking out the back waiting for someone to re-wind. Where is their, ‘Winding Officer’ from Cultural Marxism HQ?

      Protestors-day off work Brissles?
      You`ll know, of course that NONE of these pimps do any kind of work, either public sector pimps, low grade community /charity workers, food bank snafus or tattooed freaky deviants-who nobody but cBBC or Lizard Monthly would employ. This liberal pondlife only come alive when the sun is shining and there ` ten minute hate on offer to be blagged up by the BBC.
      Meanwhile America and China works-and we`ll then hear the Beeb begging for more migrants to increase productivity.
      To change the genders of freak and Corbynclitties like THIS lot, all on perpetual sick leave, mentally recovering and such.
      Lots of leather for Owen Jones though, plenty drugs for the BBC hermies…Auberon Waugh warned us all of them, but he was an arch Reamer back then. Bet he`d have voted Leave though when he`d seen what Blair did to the nation, May will be as loathed as Blair by now.

      “Honestly? Look at them. Do you really think many of them are in full time employment?
      Maybe a couple of social workers, a few discontented public sector types and the rest look pretty much unemployable to me. Blimey, have you heard some of the interviews? This is the great unwashed, Momentum mob, backed and clearly promoted by the BBC. Interesting to note though that the demo walked right past Beeb towers.
      Convenient…

    Universal basic income is a BBC pet issue : So BBC R4 now are airing Andrew Yang, alledged presidential candidate.
    \\ with review of my book and Universal Basic Income in the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/09/books/review/annie-lowrey-give-people-money-andrew-yang-war-on-normal-people.html
    … if UBI is inevitable we’d better fight for it right now. Would alleviate untold human misery and give us time to adapt. If you wait too long – utter disaster.//

    He would make a US VAT generating $800bn/pa

    He claims it would alleviate poverty and domestic violence
    .. in that case the metric fro native Alaskans and Hawaiians should be lower cos they already receive an annual government bounty.

    On the Today programme (was it today or yesterday?), I was struck by a remark of one of the air-head protestors against Pres. Trump when questioned by a BBC reporter, who said (along with all the usual words, mysongynist, racist, etc) that she was against his policy of separating the children of illegal immigrants from their parents. A responsible and educated BBC reporter would have pointed out that Trump had passed a law preventing this, and that it was Bill Clinton who passed the legislation that mandated the separation.

    Michael Howard uncritically accepts a story on Jeremy Vine from a ‘disability activist’ who complains that her multi-thousand pound wheelchairs get damaged by baggage handlers.

    Another caller makes the same point.

    It seems to this bear of little brain that the complaints are going to the wrong place. If a three thousand pound wheelchair can’t survive the baggage handling environment then it is not fit for purpose. We are told that golf clubs are looked after with care. Perhaps they are packed in bags that do the job required of them?

      Auberon Waugh said that the old should stay at home and not be allowed to travel-they only clog up the public transport system for the rest of us.
      Fair do`s.
      But the disabled-what the hell are we letting them clog up everything for? Just so Rantzen could get a programme out of it. And here we are.
      I was in Hong Kong-no oldies there unless they could dance or do TaiChi. They looked after the kids and kept them in school.
      The disabled and infirm were not binned in care homes, they just weren`t running us over on their flashy scooters on the pavements.
      We could learn plenty. Sod the disability moochers unless they`ve paid in when they could-and being a snowflake is NOT mental illness.
      Had a bad morning.
      Any group giving succour to the BBCs agenda needs rooting out and destroying. the BBC are using the “vulnerable” to club us all with a wet amputated limb 24/7.

      Maybe they should push all the speshuls to the front of Trumps meetings-bet he could heal them!

    Wall to wall coverage on the BBC of the protest through London…A constant steam of the ”great unwashed” being interviewed, slagging of Trump and May.
    Same on Sky…
