Start the Week Open Thread 3 September 2018

Tough times for the Far Left BBC. Its favourite political party is busy getting a civil war going and the party it hates is busily trying to stop conservatives joining the Tory Party. So as Parliament returns we can expect the BBC  to be in full bias mode – 12 days later the MPs go on their holidays again for the last Conference Season before we leave their EU.

On September 9 Sweden has a general election where the single anti immigration party is predicted to get 20% of the vote . Apparently the swedes have got fed up with vibrant handgenade attacks which are fashionable there at the moment and no doubt will feature in Britain sometime soon . The far left BBC will be on hand to tell us how thick and ‘Far Right’   20% of the population is…..

    Last week the Money Box producer, Ruth Alexander, gave us a report from Sweden during which she told us that Arab and African immigrants had failed to ‘access’ the Swedish life-style of summers at the lake and winters on the piste, (they had managed to access the benefit system though). She let slip that she had visited Sweden often.
    This week she gave us another report from Sweden about a museum of failures. Now it might be that she is being super-cost-effective and gathering lots of Swedish material on one trip and then using it to make several programmes, or it might be that she is like several ex-bosses of mine that would fly to the USA for a meeting and then slip in a bit of ‘annual leave’ before making the return trip. Not only did that give them free air travel to their USA holiday it also generated a good few ‘air miles’ to put towards a free European holiday flight too!
    Of course to ‘access’ these free travel arrangements one did need to have a certain status, it wasn’t for lower orders who had to buy their own tickets. I wonder if ‘producer’ rather than ‘presenter’ confers similar perks within the BBC?

      One doesn’t hear from any Far Left BBC whistleblower do we?
      I wonder if it’s a fixation with the pension – which is one of those weapons public service organisations use to control their staff – “toe the line “ or lose the pension .

      Some kind friend here put a link to a ‘retired bbc ‘ website where there seemed a lot of chat about grades and index linking – perhaps that’s one of the weaknesses of that awful terrible organisation .

      So what chances of finding out what sort of expenses and perks beeboids get . It must be a motivation since envy has to be part of the culture with large quantities of taxpayer cash being gifted to the ‘big beeboid guns’ such as Sir Chris Evans , Sir Gary Linaker and Sir James Saville …

    The perfect storm for the EU ?
    The German rise of populism and their realisation that there would be mass unemployment in their car industry when we in the UK, finally get out of the EU.
    Next will be Ireland, when they learn that the EU will not give them anymore funding.

    “Chemnitz protests: Thousands attend free anti-racism concert”
    Are we being told the whole truth ?

    • fakenewswatcher says:

      Not quite, Taffman: the thousands who attended to watch these usually expensive bands free, were largely bused in. (Either that, or Chemnitz has suddenly become very multicultural indeed.)
      My guess is that Merkel and her SPD/Green buddies had no problem in recruiting bands (whose ‘music’ is horrendous) to put on the show, behind which they – the politicians- can hide. And get together a crowd to proclaim the theme: ‘We are more’.
      The songs by bands such as the ‘Dead Trousers’ and ‘Fine Cream Fishfillet’ often centre around hate of Germany and all things German.
      So the original (hate) issue has vanished completely from the media (the stabbing). We had a group of hating ‘anti-hate’ bands singing hateful ‘anti-hate’ songs. Now even the original protests by the citizens of Chemnitz have vanished from the media. (They were presumably all Nazis anyway). What is designed to stick in the memory is the ‘great’ music event.
      So, what went on in Chemnitz? There were the horrible Nazis. And there was the great music. Can’t actually remember the issues right now.
      It is THAT easy for the politics and the media -who all hyped up this live-streamed event- to ‘change reality’. Pity we couldn’t listen to those wonderful bands (usually at least £50 for the privilege) and get that great blast of diversity.
      Then again, for great blasts of diversity, we have our own MSM.

    BBC big on So we need to dumb down letters from one professional to another because patients can’t understand them….well pardon me…there is a reason we use technical words..because it explains things precisely…
    The GPs should explain things to patients properly but they don’t , the consultants should but they don’t…that doesn’t mean you dumb down a inter-professional letter. I end up doing it in my job…it’s part of the job…..that GPs rarely do..
    overall its just another call for dumbing down…if you write a patient info sheet it has to be aimed at the reading age of a 14 year old but in reality it’s more like a 12 year old…welcome to dumbed down Britain….another BBC non story….

    Those hard-working ‘journalists’ at the BBC have received a press release from Nike and regurgitated it – this is how so much ‘news’ operates these days and it infuriates me. Even The Times has gone drastically downhill with about half the stories effectively adverts for someone plugging something. I thought the BBC was not supposed to promote any brands? I guess an opportunity to race bait was just too irresistible.

    Colin Kaepernick is a disrespectful brat, not some maverick hero. If you really want to protest ‘Police brutality’ do not do it when the national anthem is playing at a communal event. You must have some basic respect for the nation you live in and the rights and responsibilities it confers; it binds and inspires people. If you just say ‘anything goes’ you have the chaos we are enduring.

    This could backfire for Nike as I really feel the tide is turning against all the divisive tantrums of SJWs. It is never been less cool to be left wing. This ‘Police brutality’ is massively exaggerated anyway and of course the solution is to not commit crime in the first place. Anyone who wants to steal for a living is scum and deserves rough treatment. Our Police are powerless to be in any way tough – let alone brutal – and look at the tragic consequences. The silence from Black Lives Matter at all the young black men being murdered is deafening.

    on the last para – the blessed chucka is reported by far left al beeb as calling stop and search of black yoof as “demeaning “ . Chucka must have shared in funeral companies as a black yoot with a blade stuck in him is , I would posit , a bit more demeaning than being turned over .

    Confession : I have , as a whitee , been the subject of stop and search many times going through airports – once – in Sydney oz arrivals I asked “why me ?” The copper search me said “ because you fit a profile “ . I ponder that profile sometimes ….

    I wonder if those body cameras the cops carry now stop these ‘ ‘children ‘ ( love that term ) from playing up when police are trying to do their duty … a term of which these children would have no concept . Rant .

What an utter scum bag – why can’t he just earn some honest money rather than stealing off me and making my life a misery? Criminals are parasites – f*ck their feelings.

        Beeb ,

        As some say ‘I feel your pain ‘ and I could tell stories of me being mugged , assaulted , burgled , having my push bike stolen at knife point , car stolen, motor bike stolen — but It’s not a peeing contest . Just fact – and it was just an ordinary night out in Londonistan ..

        When I was studying criminology and other crime stuff ( lse dontcha know) a leading professor said what you need to realise is that it is a criminal ‘justice ‘ system.

        What this means is only a certain number of people can go to prison because taxpayers don’t like money being ‘wasted’ on building more prisons – so prosecutions and sentences have to be
        Limited to what the system can take . I think the current number is about 85000- full house . Once you understand this then the rest of the behaviour of the law inforcement industry starts to make something like ‘sense ‘ . That was his theory . [ he also thought that Blighty had an ‘excess population of a million or two as an aside ] . Coming from an academic of the’ Left’ this one took me back – it was at the time when the likes of al beeb used the term ‘under class’ which has called out of favour – then it was ‘chav’ but I don’t know what it is now.

        There are exceptions in the theory of course such as political prisoners like Tommy Robinson but that was the learned Profs ‘ theory .

        My death penalty remedy to make more space and working prisoners to finance prisons didn’t go down at all well.

        On the ‘up’ side to less stop and search must mean less greedy lawyers going for civil actions to rob from the taxpayer but the blood cost is pretty high and , in my view , will remain so.

          The professor is wrong . People object to paying for more prisons under the current system of them not being a deterrence for hardened criminals , thus not working .
          Offer people the choice of building prisons to house two hundred thousand or half a million , prisons that work , that reduce crime because criminals don’t want to go there , and as the crime rate reduces drastically the prisons can be converted to something else like schools and hospitals and the majority would take that option .
          Not something the PTB will ever offer .

          I think they a cost should be applied to each criminal. Every crime they commit should be recorded against them and the cost of that crime to the victim and to the state ( detection, trial, incarceration etc). Then when the costs that these miscreants have incurred reach a certain level (£50,000, or £100,000 or whatever we agree) then the death penalty becomes mandatory. I think that would clarify a lot of minds even in the criminal classes.

    Hand-picked Labour voters, Labour contributers and a couple of their MPs attend BBC studios this AM to chew over their very own in-house Corbyn jew baiting furore.

    So it is that Vicky Derbyshire hosts what must qualify as the scariest morning horror feature since the Universal Classic Monsters franchise. And I dare say as much pop corn was consumed.

    The Big Question (to quote the title of another BBC current affairs fright show) which no one seems inclined to ask is exactly what is the Labour Party’s obsession with its cherished ability to practice ‘criticism of Israel’ ?

    Why is this niche foreign diplomatic issue such a massive shibboleth, placed by the red rosette party so close and so dear to the heart and centre of their democratic socialist agenda ?

    What constituency does Labour play to with this? Corbyn mutters about Rail Nationalisation – a BR for the 2000s (if you can imagine such a resusitated creaking dinosaurus) so as to excite the bullyboy RMT and some comuters who it hopes are too young or too naive to know better.

    But Israel bashing? Jew baiting? What’s that really about?

    Two reasons – if we can be bothered to talk of reason within an ideology based simply on sowing grievance and exploiting divisions between people.

    First one has to assume this humours the fantasies of the minority of tin foil hat marxist conspiracy beguiled politics obsessives. Let’s call them Momentum Members or Labour Local Ward Meeting Attendees.

    Secondly and more importantly Labour instinctively knows it must woo the large and growing base of Britain’s increasingly culturally arabised south asian voting bloc. A group psephology practitioners (were they a tad less PC) might term Uber Cab Man or Multi Postal Vote Niqab Woman.

Jews are not leaving Europe in their droves because of neo-Nazi thugs for the most part, they are leaving because there is a very large, dangerous elephant in the room which no one is allowed to talk about. Can anyone blame them after some of the attacks in France which have specifically aimed at Jews as the target?

          I suppose it’s too much to hope that the armed forces will stage a coup d’état and extirpate the traitors from our midst? Because it’s possible that’s what it’s going to take; particularly to weed out all the Common Purpose traitors and the commies infiltrated into the Civil Service, the police, the judiciary, the education and social services, the unions the media and the politicians.

          I think Gerrard Batten is on the right lines with these comments:

          https://www.ukip.org/national-ukip-news-item.php?id=59

          He’s suggesting no one should join the army until we have left the EU, so they don’t end up fighting for a foreign power.

    If the BBC can be believed on one thing then it’s their view on the rise of the Far-right. In my work I meet a lot of people from all backgrounds and I find myself having conversations about immigration, SJWs and identity politics. These are conversations I never thought I’d be having only two years ago, and yes, you’ve guessed it, most are sick to death of the whole rotten lefty-liberal crap. So according the BBC and MSM we’re all on the far-fight for not swallowing their self-serving, race-baiting b/s.

    We’re seeing it in Germany, Sweden and from my point of view in the UK – so bring it on!

      RobRoy – Civil debate/discuss requires both parties to be just that….civil! If someone wants to resort to slander and name calling to win an argument, do not be surprised when the person abused does not respond the way you want them to (unless you want them to be pissed off and not interested in anything else you have to say).

      Because thats the issue here…politics and the media that supposedly holds them to account have moved the overton window so far left, that rational/centre ground politics that creates the very fabric of civil society is being torn to shreads! The boundaries/parameters of what is outside of acceptable is now so screwed to the left that even a centrists in on the extremes! If you are a rational, decent, right leaning person you are fu*king Hitler!

      Right now it is encouraged/championed to battle injustice and hatred with injustice and hatred. To take on bigotry and oppression with bigotry and oppression. The colapse of diversity or thought has created this. The left have created this. For the natural order to succeed it requires both right and left leaning politicians to work together and agree and accept each others points of views.

      Whilst the natural order would balance itself out be removing the corruption and evil that invests the power structures of our Society, these agents of destruction protect themselves by changing laws, criminalising speech, and suppressing the tools of change such as social media. In their selfish desperation to cling to power the political elite are polarising us even more. If has to split us into groups so that we are unable to see that the true enemy is them

      The non-binding opinion written by Ukip MEP, John Stuart Agnew, has shocked EU lawmakers for its dismissal of climate science ..

      That would be dismissal of the ‘settled’ version of climate science, no? The make-it-up-as-you-go-along version which predicts a future climate of very wet summers when we have had a very wet summer, then a future of heatwaves and drought when we have had summer of heatwave and drought. The false predictions – nearly always some way off into the future and most typically ‘by the end of the century’ are always ‘might happen’ or ‘it is likely’. None of the more short term predictions, particularly temperatures rising in line with the growth of CO2 emissions and as posited by all the climate models, have come to pass. It is a failed hypothesis.

      Not science, but pure propaganda by the eco-Marxists who now seem to be dictating our energy strategy with the aim of bringing capitalism and the West to its knees.

      I would like to see an investigation of women bullies in the workplace, worked for 30 years and everytime I have seen bullying it has been a women causing it, they naturally form little gangs and then inevitably target people while brown nosing the boss seen it so many times.
      The worse ones take their little gangs on out of work drinkies and spend the next day whispering in corners etc. watched it again last week in current place, ALWAYS a woman as instigator. Have seen an 18 year old girl reduced to tears and walk out after weeks of harrassment from another harridan and her friends at a previous place, it is happening across the country in many, many workplaces yet never acknowledged on the BBC or elsewhere

        Annunaki, well said re: bullying women at work. I have been on the receiving end of it myself in the past, and offices often become places where the bullies always dominate in the end. The victims walk away. In a low paid temp job years ago I was belittled in front of the whole team for…..wait for it….doing an extra batch or two of data entry off my own bat !! The nasty team leader woman dressed me down, and I told her where to get off, signed myself out of the time sheet and left the room. No wonder I have had a non-existent career because I will always walk away from bullies, having first stood up to them and said my piece. Women can be really nasty when they perceive weakness in another female.

    Tomorrow in Parliament : Make misogyny a hate crime, Stella Creasy urges
    Melanie Phillips says : THOUGHT CRIME law
    https://twitter.com/BrianPix042/status/1036956805946134528
    Missing text first column – “… belief that unwanted behaviour towards women is invariably …” Missing text second column – “… why not expand the …”
    Indeed having a #VictimHierarchy is wrong.
    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-thought-police-turn-men-into-the-enemy-n5kzv8hsd

    Hate crimes thus don’t police deeds but thought. They are an attempt to drive out attitudes that the self-appointed cultural police deem to be beyond the pale. Now actual police are being used to enforce them.

    Their arbitrary nature will inevitably mean the invidious targeting of certain individuals. The Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson, for example, says boys are the victims of “gender equality” and that men are generally dominant in society because they are better at being in charge.

    For that, he is of course labelled a misogynist of the deepest hue. If Creasy has her way, will Peterson be arrested for hate crime if he should return to Britain for one of his wildly successful public appearances?

    Making misogyny a crime presupposes that male attitudes to women need to be regulated in and of themselves. It therefore makes men the enemy, not just of women but of decent and civilised values.

    That is a hateful calumny. In other words, the real hatred involved in the crime of misogyny doesn’t lie with the male sex. It resides instead in the minds of those whose prejudice against men now risks labelling their chromosomes as accessories to crime.

      What will come after the Creasy amendment is restriction on printed material and comments on social media in the same way that if I say “I hate xxxxx people because I don’t think they should be in Blighty “then it is to the thought police my ISP will be given , a summons to the judge and a week in a re education camp

      Saying not nice things about the likes of Soubry is not in itself mysogeny – she just happens to be a ‘she’. The same would apply to the Far lefty who was killed by a madman a while ago – gender doesn’t come into it .

      Look at the stick mrs Thatcher got and still gets from far left mysogenists . Bet sexy Stella would defend those comments .

    Jesus, the endless gushing over the Blackkklansman is just too much. I’ve just seen Kermode fawning over this bollocks.

    I still can’t see how nobody can recognise that this isn’t about a black guy infiltrating the KKK.

    It patently isn’t infiltration and is just an example of this film having a deliberately misleading hook by a director trying to make something shocking, that clearly isn’t. The premise paints a picture of a black guy actually joining the KKK replete with tugging the curiosity of people to thinking ‘I know white’s are meant to be stupid but how could they not spot a black man amongst their ranks’.

    In a time before the internet and google and Facebook and LinkedIn, anybody could have joined the KKK with a fake name or even their own name and then sent along a stooge to pretend to be them. The reality is that it was Ron’s partner that took on all of the risk despite the claims of Ron’s ‘bravery’ in carrying out this ‘infiltration’ and yet it made literally no difference to the KKK. There were no arrests and no convictions from this exercise. Spike has made a film out of a silly anecdote, worthy of nothing more than dinner time discussion, yet fools like pretentious movie critics are pronouncing it as ‘so important’ and having a ‘contemporary edge’ – dear god give me strength.

    When this activity happened the US population was 223 million and the membership of this ridiculous organisation was around 10,000. Fast forward to now and a much larger population of 326 million and the SPLC believe the numbers to be 5 – 8,000 – clearly a way smaller proportion of the population.

    The reality is that the KKK are a dwindling, marginalised, backward group of individuals that wouldn’t have anywhere near the exposure that they do were it not for useful idiots in the media and fools like Spike Lee being so desperate to endlessly whip them up into an immediate and real threat to serve their patently obvious agenda.

    The news ticker scrolling at the bottom of the screen read…
    LABOUR?RULING PARTY HAS ADOPTED THE INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ALLIANCE?DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM[sic]

    The journalist who wrote it obviously doesn’t know when to use apostrophes so put in question marks to alert the ‘apostrophes checking department’. Unfortunately the ‘apostrophes checking department’ had gone home along with the ‘proof reading department’.

    I guess due to the unique way the BBC is funded we are regularly treated to view their cock-up?s and mistake?s.

    Edit: The ticker has now been edited to read…
    THE RULING BODY OF THE LABOUR PARTY HAS AGREED TO ADOPT IN FULL AN INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM thus removing any possible mistakes with apostrophes but now they need the ‘comma checking department’ to help.

    No, you blockhead. The flames are being fanned by a wilful refusal of authorities to acknowledge what’s happening under their noses. The demonising of concerns by the media and bussing in naive activists who were untouched by the stabbing to tell residents they have no right to be concerned can have only one result. And we are spiralling there faster by the day.

I gathered it was about formerly top secret/forbidden buildings. I caught part of an interview with an ex member of the Royal Observer Corps and thought – Ooh sounds as if it could be quite interesting.
    We next went to a site in East Anglia My alarm bells should have started to ring when they interviewed some american “artist” who works in one of these places.
    Then it was off to Germany to explore an ex Cold War Listening post.
    At this point it deteriorated fast as the presenter was giving us a description of the site and telling us “what an interesting space this was” then we were also treated to other audible “treats” such as “thats us popping balloons” and people calling out in the echoing underground void. At this point my interest was fast beginning to wain.
    As the programme drew to an end – I found out it was a BBC “arts” production.
    I thought at the end this completely typifies what the BBC has turned into. Give it a potentially interesting subject, and it manages to turn it into something mind numbingly, stupifiyngly boring. I suppose it is to be expected – just like the “news” these days it seems to just produce programmes for its “own ” people.
