Weekend Open Thread 4 August 2018

Yesterday saw a clear admission by the BBC of its political agenda – it took down a cartoon from Youtube aimed at children extolling Multiculturalism. How much did it cost ? Who authorised it? Where did the idea come from ?

The BBC claims to be transparent and responsible- but that is clearly a lie .who is to hold it to account ?

we need to remember rare admissions by the BBC of what they are doing to Britain so that when there is a reckoning we can provide the evidence of their bias

    Another prominent transgender story on the news. Why are they so obsessed with this topic when it must affect something like 0.001% of people? I am yet to meet a single such individual.

    I guess they get to feel virtuous and nobody will be offended as virtually nobody is affected.

    This is why they are fake news: they focus on tiny issues which affect hardly anyone and they ignore the real ones. Say you went for a night out at the pub and there was a big fight, flat beer and a rape. Ask the MSM what happened and they would just talk about how lovely the beer mats were. Mention the fight and they would deny it happened and maybe even get you arrested if you mentioned how flat the beer was. It is extremely lazy and dishonest. I suspect they will never change as it is such an easy life for them.

    The attack on Maduro, the left-wing, incompetent despot of Venezuela, has just experienced either a bomb attack, if you read the Guardian/Sky and the BBC, else a gas explosion in a nearby flat, if you read what the Venezuelan fire brigade are saying anonymously to journalists.

    Sky and the Guardian say the countries economy is in trouble because of the oil price drop. Don’t any of the journalists know what is truly happening in the world? The Venezuelan economy has been tanking since Chavez turned the country into a ‘socialist utopia’ with a Marxist command economy.

    How can we make the right decisions in life if the news is going to be so absurdly biased in the favour of the not just the left, but the insane Marxist left?

    Is there any petition(s) out there about an enquiry into the disgraceful treatment that Tommy Robinson was made to suffer?
    Torture, both mental and physical plus all of the decisions to put him into Onley instead of leaving him in Hull.
    There are a whole string of questions that need answering and heads need to roll.

    Any enquiry MUST have an impartial person leading it, not a whitewash as usual (Chakrabarti for example)
    I don’t know of anyone impartial but there must be someone trustworthy who is not expecting a House of Lords reward for finding nothing wrong.

    Also, where were amnesty international?
    Just because Tommy is white it doesn’t mean it’s ok to torture him. If he was black or Muslim they would be there like flies round a bucket of shit.

      I wrote to Rory Stewart MP:

      “…South Central France, 3rd August 2018

      Dear Mr. Stewart

      I now live in France, but still exercise my voting rights in the UK.

      I have been following the goings-on in the UK with some trepidation since I and many others voted to leave the EU, and like them, still await fulfillment of our wishes with as little further prevarication as possible.

      I have also been shocked by the behaviour of the police and judiciary in their efforts to stifle free speech, in particular the unnecessarily poor treatment of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who seems to have been the target of a great deal of intimidation by the authorities recently, and for the last few years. You, no doubt, are well aware of the case, the circumstances, the distress that man has suffered, and also the growing feeling of unease and disgust amongst the British people.

      I am saddened by the rapidity at which the general state of the country of my birth is plummeting, and as a direct result I consider even more that leaving was the correct thing to do.

      I was once a staunch conservative voter, but as the merging of the parties into one vast quasi-communist bloc is so painfully evident, I shan’t be doing so again. In fact, I’ll probably not vote again, at all, in the five remaining years open to me. Since Labour appears to have become as one with what used to be the Conservative party, I dread to think what might happen at your next General Election.

      I can’t honestly say that the situation in parts of France are ideal, either, but on balance I feel far safer, and enjoy a superior lifestyle where I am.

      Yours sincerely

    I trust the BBC – I trust them to be biased to the Left.
    Ever the contrarian, I go against the prevailing audience trends and tune into Radio 4. The news begins with a short episode from Woody Allen’s comedy movie Bananas (1971). There’s been some attempt on the life of El Presidente down Caracas way. Drone attack he (the President) reckons. This during a military review. Love the line “Troops fled in panic”. Reminds one of granddad’s opinion on the Italians: ‘very scary in the street armed with a knife… but put them in a uniform and they run away’. Is this really the top news event for us here in Britain? And to our Paddy O’Connell with his BH show. He clearly approves of presumed consent. Don’t panic – I mean for organ donation. Now isn’t this exactly the sort of Statist legislation which the damp Tories bring in simply to give themselves a good write up from the BBC. And so our British ancient freedoms are ratchetted further and further toward the cliff edge of oblivion.
    I’m almost enjoying Radio 4 since it became such a minority sport.

      They’re irritating – I got no further than the oh so transparent Jon Snow- but Matt Frei is probably the most irritating of all. I watched his interview with Bannon yesterday on YT. Matt always tries to start off by signalling a sophisticated, deep-reaching interview, but it never works: he can’t resist plunging in almost immediately to contradict his interviewee, and – within the first five minutes, becomes aggressive and won’t listen to a word the interviewee has to say.
      End of interview with any value. Little Frei should avoid people who can take care of themselves, like Steve Bannon, cos he ends up being stomped into the ground, after he stops listening to what they have to say (point of interview) and starts wanting to hear only his own ‘wisdom’.

For the sort of money Frei must be on he should be required to think for himself and respond sensibly to his interviewee?

    BBC are going overboard reporting the ‘veteran entertainer’ Barry Chuckle, of the Chuckle Brothers, has died.

    Strangely the BBC are not mentioning how Barry shared a Facebook post from Britain First supporting stripping migrants of their citizenship if they left the country to join a terror group. Tommy Robinson jumped in to support Barry Chuckle asking people to stop condemning him.

    I guess the BBC cannot report that due to time and website space restrictions.

    Have they reported on Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern in New Zealand? They can’t find anyone brave enough to provide a venue for their talks and even some New Zealand politician has spoken out against them. I suppose at least they weren’t barred from entering the country, which is what our swamp dwellers did to Lauren, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last time they are allowed into New Zealand.

    When it was her time to speak it was 100% rant mode “…people from BAME don’t seek mental health services so struggle more than whites….” and then really lost the plot “…. there are no black fashion models with afro hair. All models are white…..”.

    Nobody bothered to address her comments. To be honest I was embarrassed to be in my own front room watching her rant.

    Londonistan crime update – strictly not al beeb

    I said I would not report any more that al beeb chooses to miss until the number of killings reaches 100- the ave for Londonistan year on year is about 110- any way it’s about 95? At the moment .

    As you know there is a bit of a scare about moped crime.
    A couple of days ago a pair of moped criminals were being chased by the police – one being on a motorbike . He was knocked off it and hurt . A plucky lorry driver (Waitrose ) decides to use if lorry to block the mopeds and knocks them both off. Unfortunately they survived but more positively they were injured .
    A lady called NanielleDASH took phone footage of the end of the chase and gave a nice snowflake commentary about not hurting criminals and the lorry driver being ‘out of order’.( I’d give him a medal)

    The lady’s details has been shared across the Press and the Twitter thing so now she wants it cancelled . In honesty tough – but goes to show intelligence and the ability to use a phone are not linked .

    So far the police have not taken any action against the lorry driver who appears prudent enough not to be all over the tabloids as a hero – which is what he is.and two less robbers for a while

    The usual one to one interview on SML – black interviewer and Islamic person of note (?) – same old same old, about religious understanding, and fear of Islam by white indigenous population.

    Sorry, but before we had this lot offloaded on to us after the 1960’s, religion was a subject barely discussed by the ‘white indigenous population’, because we never needed to ! One was either C of E or Catholic (Jews were a rarity), and you went to church or not. The shops were shut on Sundays for the day of rest, we had Songs of Praise at teatime, and Prayer for Today on R4. That was it. We were happy with the status quo, and women with veils were the exotic beauties advertising Turkish Delight in the desert.

    Now 40 years later, unwanted by us, the alien religion of Islam has permeated every fibre of our society – high posts of office, created ghettos in our cities, specialist schools, prayer rooms in our workplaces (NHS), taken over corner shops/garages/taxi firms and we’re being force fed the ideology of acceptance via adverts and the creation of tv celebrities. Our capital belong to others that are not from this country, and in parts has become fearful to visit. How has it come to this ?

    I am not a ranting ‘far right’ extremist, but like millions of others, am sick to death at the way this alien religion has taken a strangle hold in my country, where religion wasn’t exactly the top of our agenda, but is now the reason for all the atrocities committed.

    I’m also fed up at being classed as being part of a ‘tolerant society’ – who thought that one up ??? the media ! We’re tolerant in as much we just roll over and let everyone walk all over us. And it aint gonna stop anytime soon. Not in my lifetime anyway. Rant over.

      I’m sure its been said before on here, but worth posting again.

      So he came to the conclusion that: “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.”

      How relevant today.

    I might be wrong but MSM seem to be very light on criticising Mr J Corbyn on the the labour party’s collective treatment of people who follow the Jewish faith .

    Yesterday ? My Corbyn wrote a column in his favourite pro Palestinian newspaper – the Guardian – saying let’s be nice to Jewish people but not accepting the definition of anti semitism which apparently is the standard definition .

    Now it was noticed that the column was a maxi – style – cut and paste job from some waffle he put out in April in the Londonistan Evening Standard – quite a few noticed it and there was a ‘flurry’ on Twitter. But for me Mr Corbyn got a free pass from al beeb and certainly Sky .

    I’ve got a bit of self interest in this – I’m not Jewish – but I want rid of kind old Corbyn( as far to many deluded fools see him ) – so that people will realise that the real danger is McDonnell – i know they are all ‘hard /extreme left’ but he would be a great leader for labour because he really would tear it apart in a civil war.

    I’d love to be argued against on this one and won’t be upset to be shown to be wrong – except by kids like our maxi of course .

    I’ve just switched off the Radio 4 The Food Programme .

    I’ve not been able to listen to most of it as I’m busy , but the bit that made the switch off was because they started to discuss Trump .
    Probably in a bad way , I’m not listening any more .

    Perhaps it’s time to ditch the programme because they’ve run out of foods to talk about . Nowadays it seems to be about food and changing society , or about music and arts , but not much about food .
    Or the BBC madness about Trump so he’s mentioned on every programme , whether the news and current affairs or Gardening or food . It’s no joke , but they have lambasted him on programmes purporting to be about those subjects .

    Biased hit piece on Matteo Salvini on the Beeb’s website by James Reynolds titled “Can Italy trust this man?” – but then, is there any other kind? Early on, Reynolds talks about the Italian 2018 election campaign:

    “Why are you against migrants? I asked him once he had finished his cigarette.

    “I’m against illegal migrants,” he corrected me. “Too many of them are dangerous for Italy and Europe.”

    Sounds a reasonable argument to me – though not to Reynolds and Salvini’s biographer, Matteo Pucciarelli:

    “He’s a chameleon, a politician who changes colour and shape according to his convenience and the political moment. Today he plays the right-wing sheriff. But knowing him privately, I know that’s not his true nature. That’s a character.”

    Worst of all though is their statement that Salvini is a ‘conspriracy theorist’ for stating that the migrant crisis is a planned event rather than a random phenomenon. In May 2017 Salvini said “I’m increasingly convinced that there is an ongoing attempt of ethnic replacement of one people with another people. This is not emergency migration, but organized migration that aims at replacing the Italian people with other people, Italian workers with other workers.”

    That statement is described by Reynolds thus:

    “Salvini’s assertion refers to a corner of conspiracy theory occupied by those who have long believed that European elites have a detailed plan to replace their own workers with migrants. Salvini uses words and ideas that were first developed in extreme right wing circles.”

    And there we have it – Salvini is extreme right wing and, therefore, not to be trusted.

      Hardly anyone in the MSM can be trusted these days, they always blame the messenger. Enoch Powell has been blamed for ruining race relations in the UK in spite of the fact that other EU countries, where he was not known, have experienced the same problems with multiculturalism.

      Traditional journalists, if I can call them “journalists” with a straight face, are being sidelined by the likes of Paul Joseph Watson and they don’t like it one bit. They’ve been negligent, cowardly and dishonest, and they know it.

    Pity.

    But look at how the socialist broadcasting corporation explain the catastrophe that is Venezuela: their favourite dictator, Chavez, did only good. They use the words ‘social’ and ‘socialist’ a number of times to describe all the ‘good’ stuff he did. But the word is dropped when ‘explaining’ the disaster that Maduro has been.
    The problem isn’t catastrophic socialist policies you see, no no, it’s those pesky falling oil prices, and, some would say, “imperialist forces such as the US.”

    Here’s a little gem from BBC news.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-44777755

    It’s about a certain part of Cape Town being gentrifyed.

    Innocent enough, then I see the name of the work experience chap who wrote it, ‘Mohammed Allie’. Oh dear.

    The area in question is a Muslim area and they don’t like change, not one bit. Those pesky infadels with their civilized ways just won’t do.

    To get the gist here’s a quote from a local called Shakirah Dramat.

    “There’s no problem with outsiders moving into our area as long as they respect the culture, this is obviously a largely muslim area”

    “There is a problem when people start calling for the volume of the call to prayer from the mosques to be turned down, when they open restaurants that serve alcohol and pork, thats blatantly disrespectful”

    I am getting paranoid? If the story was reversed and was about Blackburn, Oldham, Tower Hamlets etc, the BBC wouldn’t dare write it.

    Wankers.

    How about other ‘institutions’, those considered also of the ‘Left’, such as the BBC?

    Isn’t it time we knew what was in the Balen Report, a report that investigated the BBC’s journalism on issues concerning the conflict that Israel finds itself in?

    The BBC spent over £300,000 ensuring the report was hidden from proper scrutiny and the BBC being held to account. Let’s face it if it had exonerated the BBC it would have published it. The fact it went to such lengths to suppress it can only mean it found some unpleasant truths about the BBC’s reporting, namely that it ws significantly and dangerously biased against Israel and thus, with its negative portrayal of everything Israeli, helped drive the ever-rising tide of anti-Semitism that now stalks Europe once again…not forgetting the BBC supports and promotes open borders and mass immigration of people who are proven to be behind most of that rise in anti-Semitism.

    Lord Hall must publish the Balen Report.

      I was a far lefty back in the late seventies and right up to the end of the Berlin Wall when I turned deep green. We were the new brownshirts in effect re that red/green blending of policy.
      So I can tell you that the Greens, Labour, Lib Dems and the BBC, Guardian are all Judophobes in their DNA-they`ve been spouting this shit since our Anti Nazi league days of 77/8 etc, when we marched under all and any PLO banners as the Buzzcocks tuned up!
      For the BBC therefore to denounce anti Semitism is like their tax avoidance crap. They light a fuse and sit on the keg, seemingly unaware that the flame is heading back and right under their fat arses very soon.
      Corbyn has always been a Jew baiter, but -like Trotsky-will have clean hands.It`s his goons that have long been doing this, the likes of Johan Hari and Medhi Hasan have been all too clear in recent history. They hate Israel, Marx or Muhammad demands it.

    This is not directly BBC related, other than it probably applies to half the odd-balls it employs.

    The Sunday Times (pay-walled) reports a ruling by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) that the NHS must give patients awaiting gender reassignment surgery access to fertility services as a priority.

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/nhs-must-offer-fertility-services-to-trans-patients-fqqlsnflz

    “The EHRC says transgender patients should be offered the option of having eggs or sperm extracted and stored for future use before they undergo gender dysphoria treatment, which can result in a loss of fertility. Gender dysphoria describes the distress felt by patients because of a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity.”

    So the NHS is being forced to use large sums of it’s budget to allow men to store sperm before “becoming woman” and woman to store eggs before “becoming men” all because it is now fully accepted that once they change their gender they won’t be able to carry out any of the reproductive functions of their “chosen” gender.

    Next time you’re told you have a two year wait for surgery due to lack of funding you’ll know it’s because the NHS is paying for people to change sex and at the same time paying for them to retain the ability to have children as if they had never changed sex in the first place.

    The Beeboids didn’t like the anti abortionists using other means rather than persuasion in politics to get their way .

    Well now I agree with them on that . I think the art of politics and change or no change on issues should be by public discussion and trying to get the other side to join your side , or yourself being persuaded by the other side .

    It would certainly be more civilised than the BBC’s way of sneers , denouncing by association , denunciations of racism homophobia islamophobic misogyny , intimidation on Question Time and Any Questions , omissions , twisting the facts , misquoting , ignoring and partiality .

    Well this morning the world’s best broadcaster managed to announce the death of Barry Chuckle in a manner totally in keeping with the Chuckle Brothers usual modus operandi.
    First of all a photograph of the brothers was shown and the hapless newsreader said, “Barry pictured here on the {awkward pause} errllrrleft”. Textbook.
    Later a caption appeared with words to the effect of – Barry Chuckle Dead- Appeared in a double act for over 50 years with his brother Barry.
    I put my head in my hands.
    Then the caption refreshed, Appeared in a double act for over 50 years with his brother pAUL. And no that’s not my typo, it’s how it appeared.
    Next they brought on an entertainment correspondent. Now I wouldn’t have expected her to be able to freestyle a section on his life and career, but at the same time I found it insulting watching a correspondent simply reading off a piece of paper lying in front of her on the desk. Not referring to it mind, reading it as if it was the first time she’d seen it. A complete waste of a wage, they’d have done better to let the newsreader do his thing on autocue, her attempts to look like she knew what she was talking about failed abjectly.
    So there we had the world’s most trusted news source paying tribute to a 20 year plus servant of the BBC. RIP Barry, you and Paul would have struggled to do a “better” job yourselves

Borris noticed that, but nothing was done about Al Beeb’s bias.

    Our PM has deliberately procrastinated since we voted ‘out’ in the hope that “project fear 1,2,3,and 4B” and Al Beeb’s propaganda will change our hearts and minds, calling that people of Great Britain to surrender.
    Those old enough to have voted in the 1975 referendum will remember it was (to use the dreaded word) a ‘binary’ vote. It was “Remain a member of the ‘European Union’ or ‘Leave the European Union’.” There was no call for a second referendum then?

    Despite all the lives lost by our servicemen, the civilians and the mass bombing of our land during the Second World War the nation did not surrender to the Dark dictatorship in Europe. Why should we surrender now? Has our nation bred a generation of Snowflakes? Our nation is crying out for a leader not an appeaser.

    Just to cheer you up, let me introduce you to the delightful and astute Sarah Jeong, who is so wonderful she is now on the New York Times editorial board.

    Here are some charming snippets she has the generosity of spirit to share with we white people on her Twitter feed.

    “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”

    “Dumbass fucking white people marking upo the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants”

    “White men are bullshit.”

    And so it continues. Fatuous racism? Na, she isn’t white. How on earth did the BBC miss out on this enlightening white hater?

      Maybe we could all club together and pay for her to have a fortnight in Bradford or Luton. I would personally pay for her to have her very own burkah – you know, the ones where they only have a panel to look through. See if she still hates us quite so much after that.

    Here are some news

    Young people are eschewing acquiring a car and taking their driving tests , prioritising other things .
    The annual mileage of the average motorist is down from previous years .
    There are two and a half more cars on the road than five years ago .

    What to make of that lot when put together . Either ;

    A huge amount of immigration , or some people are buying cars and leaving them parked around and buying more cars and driving them a little before parking and buying yet another car .

    “A 22-year-old man has been stabbed to death in south-west London after what police believe was a brawl between up to 10 people.” on Al Beeb.
    Not headline news any more? Has this crime become normalised because it is so frequent or is it hidden away because of the bad publicity it gives to ‘diversity’ ?

    Noted that the Catholics were back in the BBCs good books this morning(Sunday 7.45am).
    Yes, they might be paedos for most of the year, and condom denying grumps over euthanasia , for example.
    But they`re now sound on the death penalty , as far as the USA are concerned.
    Finally Frankie gets it-and who better to front up the new papal infallibilty bullet point that that famous nun who once met Sean Penn. Helen Prejean no less-woop, woop!
    Went past the catholic church this morning-packed as usual, standing room only.
    Surprised the BBC didn`t ask the Muslims to sign up to it too on the show.

      Alicia ,
      I didn’t realise I am a paedo for much of the year . As you say , the church may have been full up , and the one in my parish is also regularly full up. Maybe you’d like to pop in to your local one – a might get a ‘get out of hell’ free card if you do .

      It’s hard being a good left footer because human nature gets in the way . But so it goes . I always think that there are so many differences between Christianity and Islam – all gas and gaiters ,
      Vicar of giblets , Father Ted , (london)derry girls —- and the Muslim comedies are …..

      I can’t see the RCs ever being in favour with the heathen pro Islam al beeb ….

          No worries – too many Catholics Priests gave up to the devil and abused their position and more importantly Children . In my opinion the organisation deserves some stick – especially for cover ups . Al beeb loves them . I wonder , sometimes , about what Muslims get up too — i Fear it’s far worse and will never come to light.

        Sorry Fedup2, I didn`t make it clear enough that Radio 4 regards Catholics as paedos for most of their recorded output.
        I`m Catholic by birth, First Communion and Confirmation with my very own secret saints name too.
        Needed speech marks didn`t I?
        Sorry not to have been clearer, but Francis is making your church into a basket case. If I were writing one novel, it would have to be about just how and why Benedict was removed. He was prophetic re Islam and the EU, cultural marxist threats-and I bet the pixie SJW warrior from Buenoe Aires was a Davos plant…
        That Savile was a catholic is irrelevant. Sorry sir.

          No worries at all – it’s the hazard of the blog – no need for sorry either – religion is complex – I was lapsed for a long time and then got grabbed back . I get upset by the anti judeo Christian stance of al beeb but Islam gets a free pass – and in fact – promotion in accordance with State policy .

          And you are right on Saville – I think he was also given awards by the church as well as meeting a Pope or two. But if there is an afterlife you can guess which direction Mr Saville went …

    Just seen on sky news a couple of minutes ago at 20:10

    1 in 5 businesses to relocate out of the U.K. because of Brexit.

    Yes, 20% of all businesses will be upping sticks (even though only 12% of businesses trade with the eu)

    The girl who said this on sky news kept a straight face as if she actually thought it was true.
    She is the Head of Europe and trade policy, institute of directors and her name is Allie

    Edit.
    Actually, she said 10% would leave and another 10% want to, something like that, ending by saying 20% leaving.

Utterly hilarious how Trump Derangement Syndrome has befallen them. They must be burning up inside every minute of every day Trump is president. It’s a beautiful thing to see. It really is. Any sense of impartiality completely out the window with those two leftards !!!!! Keep up the amazing work Donald.

    An example of BBC journalism at its finest, asking quesions, probing and accepting nothing at face value:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45075895

    In spite of no arrests being made and, presumbly, the perpertrators remaining unidentified, the BBC repeats the claim, without question, that the perpertrators are “mask wearing fascists”. The BBC’s defence would be the use of inverted commas.

    How quickly the press release was issued and how quickly were quotes from the “celebrity” and local MP garnered.

    You will pardon me for being a litle suspicious of this story. The only mask wearers I recall reading about in the news lately have been from the lefty rent-a-mob privileged libtarders and this so-called attack reeks of an attempt to conjure up the far-right Trump loving fascist bogeyman using tried and tested methods of making a point. How convenient that books on Islamaphobia were targeted by someone wearing a Trump mask. Pure theatre if you ask me.
