Weekend Open Thread 28 July 2018

As all the Albeeb management go off on holiday to spend taxpayers’ money we should spare a thought for all those vibrant diverse baby beeboids staying in Blighty to carry on the snowflake task of blaming so called cuts for this and that as well as suppressing incidents which al Beeb doesn’t want us to know about .

    I don’t know anyone who listens to the bbc any more.

    The snowflake generation do Netflix and that Amazon plug thing, and I always listen to YouTube for whenever I want to hear a favourite song (currently Fish in ‘Perfume River’).

    R5Dead is so dire, although Dotun is pretty good at ignoring rubbish…

    I still despair each time I look at my bank statement, and realise that as a legal person, I still fund the extravagant lifestyles of idiots like linacre and co…

    Scroblene, perhaps it is time to sell your TV ? Only when the BBC becomes subscription only and abolishes the licence fee would I even contemplate buying a TV set again. YouTube is great for music , sports, science, history and other things, I read more, I listen to CDs and there’s always the newspapers (not that they are up to much any more) .
    The licence fee is totally unfair, as we all agree on here. I also refuse to fund an organisation which covered for and facilitated the abuse of children, not to mention the constant political bias, Project Fear and attempt to wreck this country by brainwashing people. Sadly the Beeb still probably hasn’t reached the nadir yet.

      I have a TV set and bought a DVD for a present .

      Licence Tax ? No . I’m not going to because I don’t need one .

      Maxicony could back me up on this . He probably knows the truth ( about this ,for a change ) .

      Maxi ,
      Do you need to pay the telly tax just because you have a TV ?
      Or is it FOR RECIEVING LIVE BROADCASTS ?

      And why don’t the threatograms show this distinction ?

      Is it because the BBC starts with a lie ?

    The idea that ‘fake news’ is undermining democracy is itself fake news. People have been manipulating others since the dawn of time. The problem is when only one source gets to do the manipulation as this is the sort of absolute power which corrupts absolutely, hence the state of the BBC. They are all behind this ‘hate speech’ garbage. How can you trust a news source which believes not hurting feelings is more important than reality?

    If the MSM could stop lying so much people might not go elsewhere for their information. I actually find it very annoying that whenever the BBC reports a story I have to go elsewhere to discover which keys aspects have been omitted, spun or fabricated.

      Beeb Bro, the hard-core Remainers are fighting very dirty in order to try to overturn Brexit.

      They care nothing for democracy because they consider the products of our UK democracy corrupt or incompetent or self-serving or all three. This, despite the fact they are partners with or even led by those who are the products and beneficiaries of that UK democracy like Adonis, Ashdown, Blair, Cable, Campbell, Cameron, Clegg, Falconer, Kinnock and Osborne.

      They wish instead to have a superior Government that comes not from the European Parliament or even the Council of Ministers or the Civil Servants that run the Brussels/Strasbourg machinery but instead the concept of Federalisation.

      If our UK democracy or its people are sacrificed it does not matter to them. The EU must not suffer a perceived harm that a UK withdrawal might present. The Party must prevail, for that is what the EU is becoming: a single political Party, an entity like no other.

      The EU Party is superior, it is supreme.

      An independent UK may offer no threat to a pan-European Power, but those who currently lead the EU Party fear that it may.

      If we are outside, the source of finance for Enlargement will be seriously reduced. Enlargement will be slowed until extra monies can be raised from the remaining 27 EU States. That will not be easy to arrange. Far better, in their minds, to attempt to stall or negate the UK Brexit vote. They keep control of the money and of us.

      We must get out of EUgypt.

    Yes, Beeb Brother. We have all had to become “intelligence gatherers”,so to speak, looking at alternative media and trying to find out the truth. It forces us to spend too much time online in some ways, and I worry that this is detrimental to one’s health in the long run.

      I agree. The internet turns us all into fanatics as you can study one subject obsessively with ease.

      I am just sick of all the lies and hypocrisy. You cannot just sit idly by and be insulted. You can’t resist the urge to find out what is really going on.

      With their stock narrative about the Toronto shooter being ‘mentally ill’ they really are insulting us. What percentage of people actually believe that? 2%? They cannot even be bothered to lie convincingly. It is also a real kick in the teeth for any depressives out there who are now associated with mass murder. What happened to their crusade to remove the stigma associated with mental illness?

    Question reality ( maybe BBC reality for example) as one person said:

    DBS: We’ll have to assume that. But now we’re going to give you temporary control of the world.

    JV: Good! (Laughter, a long pause.) The reason I am silent is that it’s so easy to come up with idealistic things. Jesus Christ did it, every prophet has done it, and usually they ended up with the exact opposite of what they wanted. The prophets say: “Let there be love!” and people say, “Yeah, let there be love, but of course it has to be my way and not this other guys’s way!” and they end up fighting.

    I do wish that the impulse to search, to question reality, to search beyond the obvious face of reality, became more widespread. I wish that people had more of an interest in the mysteries around them.

    I also wish that there was a simple, medical way for all of us to experience what goes on in the moment of death without dying. I think that if people had that simple experience once, the rest of their lives would be very, very different. I have a few friends who have had a near-death experience, usually under very traumatic circumstances like a head-on collision. They changed radically the way they thought about their careers, their relationships, their life, their view of death. In some cases it eliminated their fear of death completely. When you don’t fear death anymore your life is going to change radically. So if there was one thing…

    You cannot wish for people to have head-on collisions! I’m just wishing there was a way for people to have the experience of dying, to take it with them into the mainstream of their life without going through the trauma of an accident. Of course, that’s what initiation does, in part, with a lot of work. A head-on collision gives you that instant initiation, assuming you survive it.

      Taffy – Whenever I have discussed the continued inward immigration into the UK with the lefties at work I always ask them “at what point do you say stop! – how many more people do you think we can handle in the UK”
      Strangely no one seems to actually answer this simple question , and just like the BBC all they do is mutter about humanitarian duties blah, blah, blah .
      They will complain that there is not enough housing
      The NHS crisis
      Not enough schools
      More violence in inner cities.
      Inner city congestion
      More pollution
      Not enough green spaces

      Yet the birthrate of the indigenous population has been falling and the population has been going up! What could the “mystery factor” be that is so negatively influencing these issues?

      I am afraid many of our snowflakes seem incapable of thinking beyond their “feelings” hence the attraction for proven idiots like Corbyn. In some ways it is the fault of our generation to have insulated them from “cause and effect” However there comes a time when they need to take responsibility for their own voting decisions.

      And that time has surely come.

        I agree. It’s why I got so tired of watching QT. They’d go from a question of the NHS not having enough money and long waiting lists to then a question on immigration where seemingly nobody could draw the connection between the virtue signalling of ‘we must take more’ and the problems raised in the previous question.

    ‘Profile’ on Radio 4 is yet another programme which has fallen to the SJW virus.

    Today is about a female underwriter who is a ‘role model’ and wants to promote ‘diversity.’ This talk of ‘role models’ is so patronising. Children have role models. You do not need someone who ‘looks like you’ to be doing something to want to do it yourself.

    She discusses going down the pub with male colleagues and disliking their sexism. Yet another Groundhog programme, saying the same thing for the billionth time. I wanted to hear about her life without the SJW crap crammed in.

    The last story on their main news programme last night was a clip of Mary Berry drumming at a concert. This is not news. If I wanted to watch dross like this I can just look at one of countless sources on my phone. I do not need someone in a suit paid God knows how much to present it to me; not to mention all the editors, producers et cetera.

    We should not be forced to pay for this. It is like watching black and white television at a price when we all have colour for free.

    Imagine they put the tv contract out to tender. We would get cool, young companies with fantastic ideas at a fraction of the price. The lazy, feckless BBC cannot be bothered as it has a golden money tree extorted from us through the threat of prison.

    Imagine that! Beebexit! No more BBC but there is a competition across the land for anyone to produce the best programmes, not just a smug, sneering, nepotistic elite.

    The Prize questions is: What market-based, popular policy would you recommend to alleviate the UK’s housing shortage, and to rejuvenate our property-owning democracy?

    My Entry
    #1 Stop people who are not British coming to live in the UK.
    #2 Export non indigenous people who hate us, and their descendants, currently living in the UK.

    This would solve, or greatly assist in solving, other serious problems.

        The difference is that Scottish people force immigrants people to integrate. Some immigrants do and (especially their kids) consider themselves Scottish and the rest get annoyed and head south where they can live in a ghetto that English people have long since vacated and left to them.

        As to the question asked it’s simple. A lot more high-density housing like you’d get in America. If you built 3-400 high rise tower blocks in London, that would accommodate (avg 3 people x 10 flats x 50 floors x 400 blocks) = 600,000 people and move the supply-demand price point back to the mid-90s when “people could afford to live here”

        The problem is that zone 1/2 is largely listed/protected and people in zone 4/5/6 are swing voters who would lose out when their stupidly overpriced houses went back to costing $150k like they do everywhere else

    ‘Friend of the show’ Simon Calder ‘of the Independent’ comes onto the TV for the BBC (by link up from London – he’s not been relocated to Salford at great cost to the tax payer for no particular reason).

    This chap will be a reliable source (the left-leaning Indie) so let’s quiz him about travel chaos. This line of news is as we know at the level of gossip but has some sound potential climate change agenda tie-ins.

    After reading us our rights vis a vis Ryanair cancellations our Simon hits the nail right on the head (and it’s not weather weirding that’s to blame)

    “At this busy time of year there’s just very little slack in the system”

    Yep, it’s getting a bit crowded over here.

    That’s also my take on the BBC’s supposed Travel Chaos narrative.

    Supplementing the regulation lanky beta male on the sofa there’s a rather attractive diversity hire. Easy on the eye but the pitch of her peculiar quavery voice is setting my teeth on edge. I guess it’s all about the look – the BBC don’t care about the sound anymore. Off switch.

    Al Beeb haven’t given up on their crusade to allow more ‘child asylum seekers’ into the U.K. Today’s POV has Michael Morpurgo pushing their just cause. Amongst one or two interesting points, including one I didn’t know about hundreds of thousands of Belgian child refugees in WW1, he says we have the homes to accommodate many thousands nowadays. How does that fit with their narrative of a shortfall of one million plus homes, caused of course by the influx of four million immigrants in the last 15 years.

    I must stop, the news is now well into Damian Collins’ fake news fake report. Do look at Dominic Cummings Blog for a counterpoint.

    It is astonishing how often a pet subject is being discussed when you turn on the BBC at random.

    I just put the BBC ‘news’ on and it is a story about disabled people flying. Their need to demonstrate their virtue is pathological – they must get a dopamine hit akin to what gamblers or drug users experience. Is it really a good idea to campaign for disabled pilots? The appearance of virtuosity trumps the actual efficacy of their utopian ideals. The problem with liberals is they see the world as they would like it to be and not as it is, and others suffer the disastrous consequences of their recklessness. It would be great if open borders worked and we could all join hands and live in paradise, but the girls in Rotherham will attest that the reality is more hell than heaven.

    I play golf every Sunday so miss all the BBC action that’s so often commented upon here. Except today totally rained off. So I was catching up on some work but walked through the lounge to find the tele on the Beeb. Two coloureds (? or is it black, not up to speed on the accepted/required nomenclature nowadays), one orthodox Jew and YAB, a Ugandan Asian (I don’t watch Beeb but I believe she is a regular). And there was me thinking I represented 87% of the population being indigenous, Christian and pale-skinned, but obviously the Beeb doesn’t represent me.

    The BBC have become obsessed with what has been deemed “fake news.” In Beeb speak this is essentially anything that veers away from their left leaning, pro EU, Islam is a religion of peace, world view. Anyone that dares to disagree with them is sneered at and is treated like a bigoted little Englander.
    We only pay the wages of these people after all, so why shouldn’t they despise us?
    I wonder if there is any institution that is more up to its neck in fake news than the BBC. They choose what to bring us as news and then present us with stories about half a dozen semi literate. malcontent students who choose to deface a Rudyard Kipling poem. Is that news? Really?
    That tedious old, white hating racist, Yasmin Ali Baba Brown, is spewing bile nearly every day. If it’s not her lecturing the nation that took her in about OUR racism then it’s tiddly little Owen Jones claiming to have bullied Trump out of London.
    While they’re more than happy to bring us the views of half a dozen parasites they’re very unwilling to report at all on tens of thousands of hard working, tax paying demonstrators in London that want immigration controls, are concerned about Muslim terrorism, or want Tommy Robinson freed from prison.
    The Beeb were cheer leading the anti Trump rally in Trafalgar Square, but ignored tens of thousands of us that marched right past their front window. Not a bloody whisper.
    We can’t trust them on their views on Brexit, on immigration, on terrorism. It took them 20 years to report on the Rotherham rape gangs. If there’s a terrorist attack they’ll bend over backwards to tell us the attackers came from Nuneaton, Norwich or even bloody Norway…What they always try to hide is that they’re always Muslim.
    They lie, they deceive and they manipulate.
    If they’re not fake then I don’t know what is…

        Staggering that all those tweets never point out the BBC article does NOT say “tens of thousands” marched in Inverness
        .. and has never through edit stages said that
        https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-44980334

        Seems to me Steven McKenzie the BBC Highlands reporter who runs the @BBCHighlands account without a blue-tick made an error in his tweet and many disingenuous Scottish Independence campaigners decided to exploit that.
        He’s glanced at the article, read the bit about *Glasgow in MAY* having a march with *Tens of Thousands* and mixed that up with Inverness
        DjO28ZVX4AU-crG.jpg:small

        Wayback machine shows the edits
        Friday midnight the BBC named the page :
        “Scottish independence march to be held in Inverness”
        Saturday after the march the BBC named the page :
        “Thousands take part in Scottish independence march in Inverness”

    As the climate crisis continues, reports reveal that the torrential rain currently continuing the heat wave – in a different format – is some of the wettest on record at 9.95 on the Harrabin-Pistake Scale.
    Experts project that the resulting floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, combined with the past two months of dry weather, one of the longest periods of climate change in recent experience – other than those recorded elsewhere – will result in permanent changes in European agriculture, politics and sport.

    The Grauniad:
    Rivalled only by Dad’s Army as Britain’s most-loved sitcom, Fawlty Towers seems an unlikely candidate to merit comparison with the movies of Quentin Tarantino. But the BBC has cut from a repeat of the episode The Germans (screened many times since it was first seen in 1975) a speech in which the blimpish hotel resident Major Gowen uses two outlawed racial insults while reporting on a trip to see an England v India cricket match at the Oval.

    It is impossible to discuss properly the censored dialogue without quoting the line. Very sensitive readers should stop now and it should not be assumed that I, the Guardian – or, indeed, John Cleese and Connie Booth, the show’s writers – endorse the general or casual use of such terms. In his anecdote, the Major tells Basil Fawlty that he went to the test with a woman who “kept referring to the Indians as niggers. ‘No, no, no,’ I said, ‘the niggers are the West Indians. These people are wogs.'”

    Even satire is not allowed it seems and how sensetive does one have to be that the poor Grauniad readers have to “stop now” ffs, maybe they will cholk on their dolphin freindly garlic muesli if they were to read this
    I dont care what they say the Major is funny

    Terrific piece in the Sunday Times (pay walled) by Rod Liddle tearing a strip off the BBC for their bias – “Careful, Auntie, your nasty little prejudice is showing again”

    Apologies to Rod for reproducing it below without prior permission:-

    “A nice man called Andrew in the BBC Press Office is kind enough to send me a list of stuff the corporation is doing each week. Recently this has included details about something that, as a licence payer, I am very much looking forward to — a month of programmes called The Big British Asian Summer.
    They really super-serve the licence payer, don’t they? I am a little worried they may be neglecting Little British Asians, mind, such as the London mayor Sadiq Khan. But no matter, he gets plenty of coverage anyway.
    There is also more arcane news, such as the information that a talented former journalist called Noggin the Nog has just been appointed editor-in-chief of BBC Cymru Fyw and speculation about what blind transgender amputee is in the running to be the next Doctor.

    I have never replied to Andrew’s email, but I did last week because I had been listening to the book that Radio 4 was serialising. Here’s what I wrote:

    Dear Andrew, Many thanks for your weekly bulletins about what the BBC is up to. I wonder if you could answer my inquiry below, or pass it on to someone who can.
    Here’s the thing. I am hugely enjoying the serialisation on Radio 4 of the Palestinian writer Raja Shehadeh’s entertaining book, How My People Were Robbed, Murdered and Crushed by the Vile Occupying Fascist Israeli State. I may have got the title slightly wrong, for which apologies. I was wondering if the BBC intended, at any point, to serialise a book that might give a contrary point of view on this disputatious issue — perhaps by an Israeli?
    All the best,
    Rod

    I got a friendly acknowledgment from Andrew — and later a two-line reply from the BBC, stating that the corporation’s coverage is impartial. Mr Shehadeh has spent most of his life railing against Israel and Jews, while claiming to be a moderate. And his book is serialised by Radio 4. Of course, it will not serialise a book by an Israeli to provide the political balance that the corporation is duty bound to strive for (even if, frankly, it doesn’t strive terribly hard).
    I have no objection to hearing Mr Shehadeh’s lamentations: they are a view and one of which we should be aware. My complaint is that the other side will simply not be put. My suggestion to Andrew is that Radio 4 could rectify this imbalance by serialising Warrior: An Autobiography by the former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. But that’s not going to happen, is it?
    The BBC and Radio 4 in particular are in the grip of what the American author Tom Wolfe called radical chic attitudinising. In other words, they are naive middle-class liberals who believe the Palestinian cause is unequivocally just and there is no real argument about that. Which is why, when Hamas rains 200 rockets and mortars down upon Israel, you hear nothing on the BBC. You hear about it only when Israel responds.
    The question is, then: are Radio 4 and the BBC anti-semitic? When does a fashionable stupidity teeter into racial hatred? An important question, especially for those of you who think anti-semitism is a preserve of the neo-Nazi far right, elements of the Islamic world and, of course, the Labour Party.
    Last week the guitar-strumming halfwit Billy Bragg agreed that the Jews had “work to do” to improve their relations with the Labour Party. In other words, had to stop complaining about anti-semitism: these people — they ask for it, don’t they? All their own fault, really. And the answer to the question — about Corbyn’s Labour and Billy Bragg and the BBC — is simple. That obsession with Israel and the radical chic stuff leads ineluctably to anti-semitism: they become one and the same thing.”

      Thanks for reproducing this on behalf of the excellent Rod . He is a better man than I because as soon as I heard the subject . It’s a shame it’s necessary to be so attentive to al beeb radio output and skirt through the bias – which doesn’t leave much .
      Daytime radio is more and more biased toward Wimmin type programmes . The afternoon play is normally about Wimmin getting over a divorce from some nasty bloke .

      My favourite one is the tedious “home front “ which started as a kind of commemoration of the Great War but quickly turned into a multicultural love in with lots of gay people. I gave up so it may have changed now . I presume al beeb will kill it off mercifully after Armistice Day .

      Can’t moan too much about it ( yes I can ) as I don’t pay for it .

    Was that BBC Travel Show presenter Rajan Datar having a Frank Gardner moment down there in Jordan?

    Not to worry, your BBC chap was never in real jeopardy. It was just a re-enactment scene staged for tourists of Arab rebels hijacking an Ottoman steam train circa 1917 on the Hejaz railway.

    Couldn’t help but notice that although our Rajan neglects to tell us many of those uncool outdated Judith Chalmers-ish travel facts, such as the local exchange rate or the availability of cheap package flights, he does go to some pains to editorialise a bit of history – the ‘fact’ that Lawrence of Arabia conned the Arabs who were perfectly happy under the Turkish Empire and the ‘fact’ that Britain and France ‘carved up the Middle East’.

    One wonders who our Rajan was rooting for in WW1? I guess as the modern day Bedouins brandishing blunted swords and firing blank bullets prentend to take him hostage his impassioned expression of his Indianess could be taken two ways – I suppose India was sort of on both Britain’s and the Arab’s side in the Great War against the Turks. You don’t think he was saying don’t shoot me I’m not a whitey I’m like you, I’m a brownie, do you? Heaven forbid.

      Earlier on this site, someone made a comment that all the BAME’s he knew were generally as thick as pig’s poo. Sadly this is not a generalisation, – I’ve often wondered why, when a ‘leg up’ was given to many African and Indian countries by Western governments in the early 20th century, did they not capitalise on it when we left and gave them Independence. Surely if these peoples had a modicum of intelligence, expansion and revitalisation of their infrastructures would have been on the cards.

      No, here we are well over a century later, and those cultures haven’t advanced one iota – except to clamber on the first boats out of there, and where the rule of the jungle (literally) with corruption (not so thick then) at the top of the tree.

        Yes, somebody did and, IMO, it was more likely to be a reflection of the circles he moves in.

        Some BAMEs do better than others but the acronym includes a wide range of ethnicities. Do you really believe, for instance, that Sikhs and Hindus are “generally as thick as pig’s poo”? People here are very quick to criticise the BBC for the terms it uses and its sweeping generalisations (eg: “asian”).

        So far as the “leg up” argument is concerned, you could say the same about welfare costs in many UK regions over several decades. These appear to have had little positive effect and our overall performance in Maths, Reading and Science is still appalling, according to PISA standards. An intelligent country? Perhaps not.

        Lastly, somebody else in the same thread made a comment about BAMEs having B.O. This is reminiscent of National Front talk from the 1970s and won’t do this site any good at all.

        Brissles, bits of India have done well. In fact, could be said to be ahead of us. Certainly they have had the spare cash in their PO accounts to acquire some British businesses. Exception proving the rule? Probably. Possibly. Hong Kong, another?

        What is significant is that a key thing that has hobbled, say for example, most former African colonial countries is corruption. That and racism. What?! Former British colonies racist? Yes, often tribal splits have appeared soon after Independence was celebrated.

        Thing that should concern us – now – in 21st century, is that those same ills appear to have become part & parcel of the former Colonial power, the UK. Evidence? Plenty.

    Have just been listening to the most monumental pile of crap I have ever heard from the MSM. Madgit Nawaz on LBC has been posing the question “Britain has prooduced the worst muslim terrorists in the form of the” ISIS Beatles” what has gone wrong with Britain.?” The worst Big Beards have not come from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or the Yemen, but Britain. What has gone so wrong in Britain that we produce such people?”.
    Madgit calls a tweeter who correctly points out that these people are not British, a “denialist”. Madgit obviosly thinks that someone living in a muslim enclave in Britain with the legal formality of British citizenship is culturally British and so would have an instinctive loyalty to the British people.
    The only mistake Britain has made was to allow mass muslim colonisation. The Big Beard problem is one that has been imported lock stock and barrel from muslim shitholes in Pakistan and elsewhere.
    Madgit even raises the “foreign policy” excuse again to justify Big Beard activity. Since when have Britons resolved disputes about foreign policy by murdering our children?

    Madgit is now prattling on about the Pakistani elections.

        Many others do integrate whether from the Indian s-c or Africa or China or the Carib or the Middle East, including the wider Jewish diaspora. I think it is important not to judge a whole lot of folk by some in a sub-set.

          The “a few bad apples” argument can be valid, but when all your barrels contain rather a lot of bad apples you have to ask if something is wrong with the orchard. In other words ask what makes islam so toxic? No one has any difficulty in believing that the totalitarian belief systems that held sway in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany were the cause of untold misery and the deaths of millions as their credos were implemented in practice. Just because the Führer of Islam is a supernatural entity or a figment of the imagination as some would have it, does not make the ideology any less toxic for nonbelievers and those who belong to the wrong sect of the religion.
          Madgit was taking about the illegality of blasphemy in Pakistan, it was surprising how many muslims rang in to defend death for blasphemy. This is not an individual or dysfunctional family problem. The problem is that thousands of families share the islamic worldview and ensure that new entries to these families are all brought up to share the same worldview.

      I heard it and it was depressing as if he is the Great Brown Hope. These nutters are a result of getting our noses rubbed in diversity and the nose rubbers will not just go away after doing their nose rubbing business but will continue and give birth to not just nose rubbers but sheer evil throat slitters.

      Unbelievable. So when these shits turn to terrorism it’s somehow our fault? Nothing to do with the religion of war and violence they espouse, by any chance?

    Nick is pretty ‘in’ with the bbc, so it’s not like someone hasn’t tipped them off to a story.

    ‘Crashing out’ is the term favoured by the more deranged remainers. And, by coincidence, the bbc.

        Not that clever if folk notice so easily.

        But admittedly there are many who will not notice, or be exposed to anything other than sources they ‘trust’ like the bbc.

    You have to admire the contortions the Labour party and the BBC are putting themselves through in order to avoid mentioning the muslim factor in their problems with anti-Semitism. Well, admire or cry with laughter, it’s a nice choice.

      Of course Momentum / Corbyn are well aware that for every Jewish vote they lose due to antisemitism, they stand to gain 10 from the Religion of Antisemitism. No-brainer.

        One of my favourites: (more below)

        “Brown has never forgiven the English for giving her Sanctuary in England, but Idi Amin Brown is happy for people to be expelled from a political party. She has brought Ugandan ways of doing things to us”
        ——————————————-
        Replying to @y_alibhai @KateHoeyMP
        Just because she’s got strong views in the EU doesn’t make her anti-democratic. You need to explain your case.
        ——————————————-
        Asking a bit much there, I fear.
        ——————————————-
        Indeed- frauds like Yasmin simply use their position to spit unfounded venom.
        ——————————————-
        Kate Hoey is a woman of enormous integrity. If you want to see ghastly and dubious try looking in the mirror.
        ——————————————-
        Kate Hoey is a very well respected MP and I am sorry to see that you have joined the baying mob.
        ——————————————-
        Amin said the Asians in Uganda constantly denigrated the Host population as feckless lazy etc Yasmin Brown uses the same tactics on the English
        ——————————————-
        You’re not fit to carry her bags. An outstanding politician who has given great service to our nation. Disgusting comment.

      GW. Interesting that info. The Bremainer Remoaners are going after our Kate big time at the moment. Thought I detected a bit of delight in Jonny Dymond’s voice when reporting on Friday, I think, that her Constituency Committee had voted to deselect her.

    The Food Programme . Radio 4 12.30 .

    Is there any point to this series anymore ?

    It seems they’ve run out of subject material and hang their hats on any tenuous link between food and anything else .

    What next ? Food and telephones . Food and scrap metal ? Food and racial prejudice ? Sorry they will have done that one .

    I want to hear about food . You know BBC , stuff you put in your mouth and digest it ? Usually but not always comes on a plate and is necessary for survival .

    If you’ve run out of material , beeboids , put the show into abeyance until something really relevant can be discussed .

      It stopped being about food at around the time the ghastly Sheiia Dillon moved in and began to use the programme to promote cultural Marxism.

      Food is the very last thing The Food Programme is about, as you say.

        Indeed GC

        The things that interest us are
        1; stuff that we do or are affected by
        2; how others do things and are affected by .

        For example ..: water .

        I learnt when I was eight how Arabs conserved water , haw they carried it , even how they washed their faces in sand to save water .
        I would like to learn how we can save water in our environment when there’s a heatwave , baring in mind our place is a lot more sophisticated and overpopulated compared to the Arabian Gulf .

        But to the BBC the issue of water is how is inspired some Jazz player to write a piece , or how a BAME person used the images of water in 1973 to combat racism .
        In fact the Beeboids probably think they can live without water but not art .

    The bBBC this afternoon interrupted its Radio 5 commentary on the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix to give an update on the women’s cricket match between Western Storm and Loughborough Lightning.
    You couldn’t make it up.
