    You are not breaking barriers. It’s awful.

    It’s like watching a knitting circle.

    Please stop. Pretty please?

    Late last night, BBC Paper Reviews : On hearing of the potential return of Nigel Farage to the fray, one Susie Boniface said something like “Oh no, you can’t get rid of him, he just won’t go round the U-bend.”

    Classy huh? 🙁

      Sadly this is the level that younger journalists AND presenters have sunk to when discussing anyone of note. I often wonder if these people were dragged up without manners rather than nurtured with good behaviour.

      Nasty comments, personal and otherwise would have been an anathema to the old school of tv reporters. Bernard Levin and Robin Day would sock it to the politicians of the day when they were a presence on the box, but it was always with good grace and a healthy respect. The current lot* of oiks may have a degree in Egyptian to warrant their place on tv, but a degree doth not a man make !

      (NB please note that I have used the UK term of ‘lot’, rather than the new Americanism of a ‘bunch’ which seems to be ever present in our language now)

    Thursday : BBC Leed’s Liz Green tweeted she had Katie Hopkins on about Bradford No Go Zones
    She didn’t actually tweet the actual audio but rather BBC Leeds Live feed
    Here’s a direct link to the audio at 9m35s, about 6min item
    then 1st caller supports KT
    All the Beeboids followers tweeted ‘how horrid, this person should be banned from the radio’

      Sadly, am doing a bit of history preparation for next term.
      Reading on how the French Revolution was intimately linked to what happened in Russia not much more than a century afterwards.
      Same things pertain today.
      Basically, the Anarchists who did the Socialists dirty work under the Internationale of the 19th C, had a “third section” that were neither Marxist or Bakhunin, Babeuf of Proudhon.
      Just nasty opportunist nihilsts-vultures who eat the carrion as the wars rage at their prompting.
      The BBC and the EU are the pastel Internationale, between Islam and Corbyn today are the Occupy, Antifa chancers.
      Same goal, same tactics.
      And we allow the BBC to spout crap via the railway tannoys-and even THEY didn`t charge the serfs to have to listen to it.
      We never learn much about the 19th C rebellions across Europe, because we had none, just our Industrial stuff, that was not typical.
      But Europe, the EU, The Soviet and the Anarchists as terrorists, Pankhurts too, IRA?…all been done.

        I’ve just listened to the full interview, how patronising is Liz Green?

        I was brought up in Wigan and moved to Burnley a few years ago because of work. In Wigan there are no Mosques, and no ‘no go areas’.

        In Burnley there are plenty of Mosques and plenty of ‘no go areas’. Stoneyholme, Daneshouse and parts of Nelson.

        I challenge any of these BBC fuckwits to walk these areas whilst holding hands, having a beer, displaying the cross of David whilst waving a rainbow flag with your 13yr old daughter.

        Then you’ll know true hatred.

    The proliferation of black man/white women relationships in TV dramas and adverts, apart from being totally unrealistic and annoying to the indigenous viewer, they are also very dangerous for our women folk.

    To a newly arrived low IQ individual sitting in his tax payer funded flat, watching his tax payer funded TV (using his payer funded BBC TV licence) on tax payer funded electricity they are essentially saying to a demographic who already have little respect for women that white women are ‘up for it’

      Well, the adverts are going even further now. They began with concentrating on younger couples in mixed relationships, but now we are seeing more and more images of middle aged and older couples – which couldn’t be further from the truth ! Holidays are particularly prone, showing older ladies with non-white gents relaxing in deck chairs. As if !

      These young idiots in advertising need to do their homework in history. Up until the last 20 years or so, it was a rarity ( even now, outside inner cities) for mixed race couple to be seen out and about. Only ‘certain’ type of white girls went with black men, and ‘decent’ girls would never have entertained the idea, so to see a middle aged/elderly mixed race couple are even more rare because they are the generation who grew up when it wouldn’t have been acceptable.

        Brissels, I hesitate to contradict – but there have been a number of news stories about white, middle-aged, Guardian-reading, female social workers going over to Calais to pick out a young, black stud from those on offer. Of course such women wouldn’t fall into your definition of “decent girls”.

          I spend a lot of time in France and observe white middleclass guardian reading women bringing goodies from the UK and distributing them among the young men who wait in the trees near the port of Quisterham. I wonder what else goes on.

          Many years ago I recall at yoonie the easiest way for an anti colonial student union freedom fighter to get laid was to utter the magic words ‘set my people free’. Middleclass white girls filled with guilt would ease his pain.

    With reference to Mark Rowley and the ‘threat of the far right’ – Have a look at the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation (ECTR) which apparently has adopted the European Framework for the National Statute for the Promotion of Tolerance. A certain Blair is involved.

    Regarding Media: “The Government shall ensure that public broadcasting (TV and radio) stations will devote a prescribed percentage of their programmes to promoting a climate of tolerance”.

    Apparently ridiculing feminism is to soon become a criminal offense and the draft law has provisions for youngsters that hold the wrong views – “Juveniles convicted of committing crimes listed in paragraph * will be required to undergo a rehabilitation programme designed to instil in them a culture of tolerance”.

    The ECTR is referenced in Wikipedia, as is the Framework bit, (for what it’s worth) and features in the excellent book ‘Travels in Cultural Nihilism’ by Stephen Pax Leonard.

    PS It seems that the bbc have been zealously toeing the line with ref to the media paragraph above.

    Investigative Journalist Jenny Moore was found dead on Monday, after reporting Bill Clinton to the FBI about allegations by a 26-year-old man that as a young boy he was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton and pimped out at private sex parties attended by other D.C. elites.
    Just four weeks before her death, Moore filed details of the alleged victim’s claims with the Department of Homeland Security, detailing the allegations against Clinton. A week later, she contacted the FBI with identical details about the allegations against Clinton.
    FBI sources report no case has been opened on the evidence supplied by Moore. Homeland Security never contacted Moore to follow up after she shared details with the agency.
    According to interviews, the victim claimed he was sexually assaulted by Clinton on a yacht in New England and knows the identities of several other child victims who were subjected to identical abuses.

    Also its reported that a DEA agent, and a ATF agent are accused of murdering Seth Rich. Seth Rich was said by Wikileaks to have been the person who leaked the DNC emails. A report by a group of former NSA agents provided proof that it was a leak from inside the DNC, not a hack from outside.

    Also, Victor Thorn, who wrote four anti-Clinton books including “Hillary (and Bill): The Murder Volume“, was said to have killed himself with a gun on his 54th birthday, while on top of a mountain near his Pennsylvania home. Thorn made several appearances on “The Russell Scott Show” and told the host, “Russell, if I’m ever found dead, it was murder. I would never kill myself.” The next day, Shawn Lucas, the lead attorney who served the DNC with a lawsuit alleging fraud in the presidential race, died as a result of a combination of drugs, including kratom, cyclobenzaprine, mitragynine and the fentanyl reported in Salisbury.

        As for possible “Fake News”. You could double check by investigating Youtube. It says that Jenny Moore was the Youtube Journalist “TaskForce” a former cop with the Tracy, California Police Department who had been investigating Child Trafficking rings in the Washington DC area and elsewhere. She had a Master’s degree in Psychology. She started about a year ago, helping with “George Webb” Youtube Videos. In the past few months, she produced her own Youtube videos for “Task Force”, where she documented her experiences of working with victims of Sexual Abuse or witnesses to sexual abuse within the military.

    I see the BBC is covering at last the deteriorating security situation in the killing fields of London.
    i suppose at last it is dawning on them that what looks as if it is in a confined area is going to spread until their own streets are affected.
    This is inevitable now.
    It has been clear for a while that we in the shires are not visiting London as we did in previous years.
    I have never taken my grandsons there . I have been forbidden to do so by their parents and every incident makes this prohibition more certain.
    The police have failed. The government has failed. It is their prime duty to safeguard the lives of the citizens. To do whatever it takes.
    There should be no further excuses and no question of leniency .
    If they feel unable to do this then they will have to go .
    There is only a limited time left now before a sort of panic sets in and the parents of young people in London get out any way they can.
    We are seeing a great city implode in front of our eyes .

      Let’s face it – London has always had its dangerous bits but now that doesn’t apply . Serious violence ( killings ) can happen at the drop of a black 14 years old boys hat .
      Race plays a part – just look at the nature of the victims and the killers .. I see it in a similar way to paedophile paki/stani Islamic rape Gangs. The State has been afraid to control them for fear of “ offence “ or “ racism “ which will blight promotion prospects – teachers , social workers , coppers – all failing to impose control – and now the result . Al beeb , of course , has aided and abetted
      This liberal poison .

      As for kids in London ? No – I would nt take them into town unless you want plenty of vibrancy , rough sleepers , beggars , intimidating yobs and the majority yapping with a language you don’t recognise . Last time I wrote this here some one wrote back saying I was too pessimistic -.ibthink that was about 50 dead ago …

      GW,

      No mention in the whole article from the BBC that this is using power and money to try and usurp the democratic and legitimate rights of the people.

      If a multi-millionaire declared they were donating a million pounds to try and prevent a second vote, they’d be all over it like a rash.

      It’s gone to #SorosPeoplesVote to stop the implementation of the ORIGINAL legitimate people’s vote
      .. Couldn’t it be being used right now in a charity instead ?

      It’s about the Free PR
      The #SorosPeoplesVote already has bundles of money from millionaire funders like Soros & Gina Miller etc etc.
      ..so why should £1m more justify so much extra special coverage ?

    On top of all that, we now have Al Beeb promoting the news that Julian Dunkerton? Yes, who he? …
    \\said he believes his brand, which he left earlier this year, “would never have become the global success that it did” if Brexit had happened 20 years earlier.
    His donation, the largest received by the People’s Vote, will go towards funding opinion polls.//

      WANTED: ONLINE DISRUPTION OPERATIVE (ANTI-FASCIST)

      Have you got a nose that can scent racism a mile off? Can you counter far-right arguments in a micro-second?

      We need a talented agent to disrupt anti-BBC blogs that claim we are biased. You’ll cope with Islamophobia using clever ripostes like, ‘Ah, but what about the crusades?’ You’ll repel accusations about Britain’s ethnic no-go areas with, ‘Ah, but what about the British ghettoes in Torremolinos where they never learn Spanish?’ (Deflection works wonders.)

      It’s easy to discredit their arguments. Just pick them up on being a few hundred out in their statistics on illegal immigration – they’ll look like complete fools.

      Don’t be afraid to deter their by calling them what they are: nazis, xenophobes, knuckle-dragging Little Englanders etc. (A comprehensive list of insults will be supplied.)

      Bonus payments will be offered for discovering participants’ names and addresses. The police will be around to charge them with hate-crimes within hours.

      A media studies degree will be preferred, and some shift-work will be required. You must demonstrate commitment to diversity.

      The post is open to men, women and the undecided (who will get preference, as you will confuse the fascist bastards.)

    The internet is blatantly being cleansed ahead of the November elections. This is colossal and actual ‘election meddling’ which the BBC care so deeply about. Where is the outrage?

    The liberal elite have been rumbled big time. They are desperately trying to put the genie back in the bottle but no amount of deception can trump reality. They think they can call an attack on our country a ‘car crash’ and get away with it? We do not want to live with people who hate us and want to do terrible things to us. Is that really so much to ask? The ‘populist’ movement sweeping the nation will accelerate. Thank God our democratic process is sacrosanct. A huge problem for the MSM is how uncool they are.

      Guest – did anyone listen to this series? I heard 3 of them and at the end I still didn’t have any more of an idea afterwards than I did before. The presenter (Timandra Harkness) seemed more interested in talking and telling the audience about herself – and the humorous quips were far from that . I listened because I thought it might actually be interesting.
      I have come to the conclusion R4 now either sees its audience as dumb f..ks and can’t cope with intelligent programmes..or the producers and presenters are themselves dumf..ks who don’t know much..

      If you look at their summary http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4DByh8YQ757KDjWJTZjMPTq/how-to-have-a-constructive-argument you will see the BBC fails at most of these every day

The Emir of Londonistan’s banning of scantily clad women in advertising is a modest step along the increasingly difficult path islam has planned. Eventually Saudi Arabia wont’ have a patch on the UK.

    Still on the subject neverthteless: Most thinking people in WesternEurope would probably agree that massive Third World immigration into our countries has not been greatly beneficial and this has taken place without the indigenous citizens being asked whether they would like to fill their countries with hords of such people and without them having given their consent to it. Of course and sadly this has been done deliberately against the wishes of the indigenous people of Europe and in spite of our pleas and demands to stop this insane policy. If as it is being shown nearly everyday that they, most immigrants and in particular those who follow the teachings of Islam appear unable to to adapt to life here and they can’t, then they should not be here. It is nogood saying that those such people that, wish to settle among us should behave themselves, learn our language and abide by our laws, however the Muslim does not want or intend or to adopt to our way of life their ideology forbids it, they put Islam first as it instructs the Quran. Lets ask ourselves as to why would one of the world’s most densely crowded islands, with a naturally growing population and growing work force not suffering from a demograhic time bomb however with desperately over-stretched public services, suffering from road congestion and over crowded public transport, housing crisis , unemplyment still high, why would such a country need immigration at such levels as we have had and which quadruples the rate of population growth-seriously immigration as is must be unsustainable and both detrimental to the interests of many people in Britain and against the wishes of the majority of the people in this nation. BUT still the BBC utters its support often surreptitiously.

    A muted BBC ‘news’ is on in the pub I am in and two women have been talking about writing a novel for about ten minutes. It’s interesting, empowering etc but not news. ‘Woman writes novel.’ So what?

    This is why Trump calls them fake: their inability to report on stuff that matters. How many murdered in London this year? Yet they report on an upper middle class woman discussing her career for about twenty minutes.

    She is still on! Yeah, plots for novels are really important stuff. At least she is not a black/ethic women then we would be subjected to nonsense about her ‘experience’ and how we are all horrible racists – so horrible that everyone wants to come and live in our country.

    Sorry for rambling. I love this site – a real safe space free from the PC insanity. I am so sick of having to bite my tongue all the time in case I ‘offend’ someone. Well dishonesty is the most profoundly offensive thing to me and I see it everywhere. Thank God for Trump. How did it get to the state where there is only one leader who is not lying and sneering at us? You must watch his rallies. He always talks of ‘we’ and ‘us’ rather than our politicians who see themselves as responsible parents versus us/we the children.

    It seems in BBC land a white actor should not act any white man role but a LGBT/black/woman should be able to act in any role they like. i.e. a black lesbian woman should be able to play Hitler in a film.

      Key to Bond’s allure is his womanising. It would not work if a female Bond were a massive slut.

      “You’re walking funnily Bond.”

      “Sorry – was up all night getting pounded by Hardon Galore.”

      “You’re fired. That’s disgusting.”

      Being gay is like preferring carrots to peas – an incidental matter of taste which does not define you. We are individuals. The idea that just because you are black, gay or whatever you become part of a ‘community’ and are incapable of independent thought is appalling.

      The ability to act has nothing to do with who you like to have sex with. The SJWs love creating issues where there are none so they get to look compassionate without doing anything. God look at Shakespeare – he was anyone and everyone because he was so brilliant. They say he used to play the ghost of Hamlet’s father. Hamlet’s father was not homosexual whereas Shakespeare clearly was but you can imagine how utterly fantastic he was in the role.

      “Of crown, of queen, of state at once dispatched.”

      And of course the BBC would unperson Shakespeare were he writing now for his ‘jingoistic’ and ‘offensive’ ideas.

They have to think ahead. If Elba is contracted, then he’s down to play JB for the next possibly 3 films, an expensive exercise if he does ‘bomb’ on the first outing. I don’t think they’ll take the risk. Too much money is at stake, and Elba’s reputation (what reputation I hear you ask) could hit the skids.

            Talking about casting a black actor as Bond is a ‘testing of the waters ‘ and the Bond industry has always been good at building up interest in the brand – it’s the business of ‘show’ as always …. mr Elba will never be better than in The Wire.

      https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnsons-facebook-page-mobbed-by-racists-after-burqa-furore-f5jp2k77h

      What a weird publication the Sunday Times has become. The front page headline today reads: ‘Racists flock to Boris on Facebook’
      The article is accompanied by a(nother) photograph obviously intended to make Johnson look ridiculous. To sum up, apparently there are some nasty ‘Islamophobes’ ‘ranting’ on Boris’s facebook pages and the Sunday Times believes this to be the most important item of world news to bring to its readers today. I’m afraid it’s that old, lazy and discredited conflation of racism and ‘Islamphobia’ yet again. It seems to me that today’s front page will taint the reputation of the newspaper rather more than it will the reputation of Johnson.

      At least, although tucked away on the inside back page, succinctly phrased as usual, the headline of Jeremy Clarkson’s column reads: ‘Argue with today’s youth and they’ll call you a racist and start blubbing’

      Never a truer word from Jeremy and high time the ‘youf’ reporters at the Sunday Times stopped blubbing at their facebook posts, went out into the real world and did some … what shall we call it … reporting?
