Weekend Open Thread 7 September 2018

Predictably the far Left BBC has embraced the anonymous article about President Trump which claims he has to be undermined from within his own administration . So there is resistance  from Swamp dwellers across the pond in parallel to those frustrating Brexit here . As Mr Rees Mogg MP wrote in an open letter recently – we are hopefully heading for a WTO Brexit from the EU  – not a ‘hard one ‘ and not a ‘no deal ‘ one which is Remainer Speak.There is no requirement for a deal.

Whilst the big stuff is going on the ‘awful personal things ‘ keep going – such as the Huddersfield 31 being prosecuted for alleged organised Pakistani paedophilia today in an English Court . The BBC doesn’t consider this to be worthy of being national news – perhaps it is just normality . You decide.

 

( I know it’s not the weekend quite yet but there’s a lot of posts).

    “BBC Freezes out Climate sceptics“, or more accurately “BBC Freezes out Climate scientists” on the advice of the BBC’s best scientific experts, who turned out not to be scientists, but environmental activists. Because the BBC Froze out Climate scientists from its Climate science seminar.

    But don’t worry. Any questions about Atmospheric Physics or Solar Astronomy. Ask me on biasedbbc.
    Any questions about Meteorology. Ask Piers Corbyn on the Weatheraction website.
    Any questions about Gender. Write a letter to Andy at the following address:

      I remember coming home from school in 1969 and finding our first colour television had arrived. The first colour program I remember was a trade test film on BBC 2, about a Morris minor van travelling around France. But the Blacks in the Black and White Minstrel Show where still Black.

    Barnsley stabbing

    ‘Assistant Chief Constable Tim Forber said the force was receiving support from counter-terrorism officers.’

    Betcha one of Sajid Javid’s (peace be upon him) minions has been instructed to have the BBC remove this hint of terrorism.
    The Infidels in Britain need to be told that this is not terror, the woman who was known to the police had a record of mental instability, and the attack was sparked off after her inability to buy sufficient food due to Torikutz

      There’s one out there where an AfD politician standsup in the Sachsen-Anhalt parliament and rips apart the lefties and feminists for ‘die Verhunzung der Deutschen Sprache’. The looks on the people’s faces was just as good. One guy couldn’t stop laughing the whole way through. And Alice Weidel’s Kopftuchmädchen speech is so good, it is worth learning German just so you can enjoy it to its fullest. At the end she quotes a Czech politician with this one-liner
      “Falls Sie in einem Land leben, in den Sie für das Fischen ohne Angelschein bestraft werden, jedoch nicht für illegalen Grenzübertritt ohne gültigen Reisepaß, dann haben Sie das volle Recht zu sagen, dieses Land wird von Idioten regiert”

    “”Resurgent anti-Trump ‘resistance’ defines a divided America””

    “”September is emerging as a month of defiance, a milestone moment in the Trump presidency when the forces of ‘the resistance’ are asserting themselves more strongly.””

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45429103

    The BBC are ‘out-of-the-closet’ anti-Trump now.

    Trump was fairly and democratically elected almost two years ago. His majority was better than Obama’s.

    Yet, the BBC/Left won’t let go. They are on a mission to unseat him. What is so pathetic is that they believe they can do this.

    They call themselves the ‘Resistance’. As in WW2 France? As in Star Wars? Is Trump a combination of Hitler and Darth Vader? The BBC/Left would probably answer, ‘Yes, but worse’.

      How close to switching off The Last Night? Proms in the Park has little to do with what happens in the Albert Hall. But inside we had a young woman in hob nail boots and a bomber jacket playing saxophone. Apparently she won Young Musician of the Year but traditionally I don’t think the Proms was about jazz. It was followed by Gerald Finley with a lovely voice singing music from Carousel. Long way to Tipperary has the line that everyone is ‘gay’. Lots of EU hats. I wonder if they were provided by the BBC. The BBC always had a few tickets available for regular prommers who hadn’t had season tickets. Easy enough to supply the tickets on condition the blue hats with yellow stars are worn. You see, BBC, if you read here, once the trust has gone, it is incredibly difficult to get back.

I don’t understand that if they hate Britain so much, why do they go to the Last Night of the Proms which is a British celebration, for people who unashamedly love their country despite its faults.

      Of course, they were probably all BBC employees, their families and their psycho-left friends. Yet again stopping people, like me and thousands of others, who would love to go to the Last Night (I go up to London for a few of the other Proms concerts) but can’t get tickets.

      Why do the BBC and their psycho-lefty allies always have to politicise everything? Not the first time at the Last Night either, the dreadful Marin Allslop did the same when she conducted the last night a few years back. Why ruin it for the decent people BBC?

    It will be interesting to see how they spin the Swedish elections. It is odd how ‘far right’ parties have been rejected for decades yet in the wake of mass ROP immigration they are suddenly very popular. I wonder if our impartial BBC could perhaps see a link? Personally I blame the internet and social media.

    I think historians may view Rotherham as a defining moment which shocked the world. It showed just how hellish the reality of multiculturalism can be, and also the wicked witchcraft of political correctness. If you are a ‘fascist’ for not wanting children raped and tortured then decent people will have to become fascists.

      State broadcaster with £4.3 billion budget unable to afford dictionary… The BBC is concerned about the popularity of the Swedish Democrats, who are expected to make major gains in the Swedish general election. The link from the BBC ‘news’ website uses the phrase ‘…waning support for mainstream parties’, implying that the SD are somehow not ‘mainstream’. However, the Cambridge English Dictionary defines the word as meaning ‘considered normal, and having or using ideas, beliefs, etc. that are accepted by most people’. The reality is that the things the SD stand for – opposition to the crime, misery, terrorism, social fragmentation and burgeoning welfare budget caused by hyper-immigration – are the very epitome of mainstream thinking in most European countries, and it’s the liberal left globalist lackies that are decidedly not mainstream.

      The main BBC article includes this phrase: ‘It (the SD) has been working to rebrand itself, changing its logo from a flaming torch (similar to the one used by the UK far-right National Front) to a blue-and-yellow daisy, the colours of the Swedish flag’. A quick trawl of the internet suggests that the National Front logo seems to comprise the co-joined letters N and F in the colours of the Union flag, and that it has been this way for many decades. However, the logo of the Conservative Party used to be a flaming torch, prior to it being replaced with a picture of a tree drawn by a four year old. Sloppy journalism from ignorant Sunday morning interns? Or a deliberate attempt to associate the SD with the flaming torches so beloved of the real Nazis in 1930s Germany? Most sentient beings will make the correct conclusion.

    Post-natal aggression
    Or
    Calm down dear, calm down
    In recent days I have indicated hereabouts how our BBC have been anxious to construct a narrative of:
    ‘woman of colour returns to work quickly after the birth of her baby’.
    The BBC nurtures dear to its heart a couple of items of agenda which necessitate this narrative. We know what these are. The BBC wants wherever possible to promote black heroes. The BBC prioritises work over child nurturing. So it is that a black female tennis player (Serena Williams) who appears to fit the BBC’s narrative purpose becomes the locus of the BBC’s story telling news broadcasts.
    I further pointed out how agenda and narrative pushing was a dubious method of newscasting. We won’t even mention Tiger Woods. This is true in real news even more so than in sport. Just look at the public displays of crying and whingeing apparent after the media prematurely handed the US Presidency to one Hillary Clinton prior to the actual vote count. The glass ceiling fell in on the true believers and they were left shattered and howling in pain. The danger of your agenda and narrative is that you pre-empt the news and putting the chicken before the egg end up with egg on your face (or some such eggy metaphor). Anyway, the BBC’s embryonic shell story of Serena Williams winning her first grand slam has cracked and dear old Serena has shown herself to be a bad egg. Worse still is that the person the BBC was promoting as a role model shows herself to be the very opposite example of the point the BBC were so anxiously wanting to make. Think about this as you read on and consider as though you were an employer – would you want this kind of person in your workplace?
    To coin a phrase: You cannot be serious, you’re the pits, BBC !
    Here’s the gist of the BBC on line report:
    ‘Osaka, 20, kept her focus to become the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam.’
    Well that’s the BBC narrative of Serena closing in on her first post-natal grand slam slammed.
    ‘an angry Serena Williams accused the umpire of being a “thief”… Williams refused to shake hands with umpire Carlos Ramos after the match.’
    Ooops. Is the BBC heroine a bad person? Is nothing salvageable?
    ‘The American, 36, graciously congratulated Osaka at the net after the 20th seed completed an extraordinary victory and, although Williams’ behaviour will grab the attention, nothing should detract from a classy and composed display from Osaka at Flushing Meadows.’
    That’s about the best possible gloss you could put on it, BBC.
    ‘Williams was given a first code violation after Ramos judged a gesture from coach Patrick Mouratoglou to be coaching. Williams then received another for a racquet smash’
    ‘The American was furious, walking up to Ramos, shouting and pointing at him’
    Anyone for tennis? as they used to say in this formerly rather gentille pastime.
    ‘The drama continued as the atmosphere in Arthur Ashe Stadium became more toxic.’
    ‘Williams refused to let the issue slide and launched an extraordinary rant at Ramos “You are a liar. You will never be on a court of mine as long as you live. When are you going to give me my apology? He’s never taken a game from a man because they said ‘thief’ “Say you are sorry,” she told the Portuguese.’ Williams later accused the umpire of sexism.’

    Of course she did.

      Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, later admitted to an ESPN reported that “I was coaching.”

      “I’m honest, I was coaching. I mean I don’t think she looked at me so that’s why she didn’t even think I was but I was like 100 percent of the coaches on [sic] 100 percent of the matches.”

      Two wrongs don’t make a right,
      she must know that even if an umpire gives an inconsistent decision (like allowing other coaching to go unpunished) you can’t go off on a tantrum and call it him a thief And pull out the sexism card, cos she can’t pull out the racism card.
      She’s supposed to be a role model.
      It wasn’t right when McEnroe did it, it isn’t right when Serena does it. End of

      Williams has proved herself to be completely arrogant “You will never be on a court of mine as long as you live.” – What? Does she own the courts she plays on? Does she think herself bigger than the game itself? Possibly she does considering how the MSM grovel to her every whim.
      Maybe no man has had a game taken off them (a third offence); is it because they have stopped behaving like a petty child when they have been fined a point (second offence) and know the umpire means business. Which would make her out to be stupid not to realise this one did.

      She proves herself to be totally sexist claiming that male players are treated differently. Does she have any proof that a male player, in the last 20-30 years or so when umpires were given specific instructions how to handle abuse, hasbeen let off punishment for a third offence? No, Serena? Thought not.

        Malik-believe it or not-is probably about the best that liberal journalism can provide.
        Yet his article has more ad hominem attacks, slurs on a simple patriot like Bannon that is decent.
        He begins with calling Bannon a “white supremacist”. Bannon ought to sue over that libel alone.
        Yet it shows us how bankrupt even the decent side of liberal journalism has now become. An article like this would never have made a broadsheet until Brown losing the election in 2010.
        The smugness of how our betters like Malik need to amend the narrative so we act and behave as they`d like us too spouts through this article. Yet they can`t or daren`t argue with Bannon either.
        So Malik wonders how his caste can speak to Brexit and Trump people, but banning their spokesmen at one and the same time.
        They can only ban us, they have absolutely no arguments. Just media orifices and lawyers.

    Non Europeans who live in houses, drive on roads etc, which would not be required if lefty votes were not the #1 priority.

    The left has caused all this, deliberately. The end justifies the means. As ever, the lefty hypocrisy is disgusting.

        I contracted Lyme in 2012. I noticed a blister developing behind my right knee – there was redness but no ‘bulls-eye’ rash, per se. I didn’t see what, if anything, had bitten me – I thought it was a wasp sting, though I felt nothing at the time. The same day I retired to bed with flu-like symptoms, which disappeared after a couple of days. Shortly afterwards I developed an excruciating pain in my left shoulder, and this eventually forced me to the doctor’s surgery. I just happened to mention the knee incident to the doctor, and he sent me for a blood test, suspecting Lyme (they’re pretty switched-on, in France with this disease), which proved positive.

        Then a course of daily antibiotic injections for a fortnight, during which the pain eased from my shoulder.

        Six years on, I still suffer from unexplained aches and pains, and suffered heart failure three years ago, which has left me tired and lethargic. I’m inclined to believe that it is ALL directly related to the Lyme.

        It is not a nice disease, and tends to mimic a variety of other ailments, all of which should ideally be treated in their own right.

        Considering the continuing plight of others I’ve heard of, I think I have got off pretty lightly, so far…
