its 200 days to our WTO Brexit. So the Far Left BBC will go all out to subvert the democratic vote . Meanwhile the Swedes have shown that they do not approve of their politicians destroying their own country – a liberal poison which spread across the West unchecked up until our Brexit vote .

BBC news telling us that ‘unexpected’ economic growth in the UK was in part due to the unually hot summer. So can we tone down a little the panic over global warming?
Meanwhile the TUC are predicting so much future economic growth here in the UK that we could all pay ourselves more and downsize to a four day week. So could we stop fretting quite so much about the impending diaster of leaving the EU?
why do we need more workers then??
Good point Kaiser.
If the T.U.C say that a 4 Day week is needed because there won’t be enough work to go around, then why are they so keen to import loads more migrants?
Any chance of O’Grady explaining THAT away? Or ever being asked to square her mental windmills in her bonce?
Off topic, but will resonate with many here, I think.
Fortunately, the hate police are getting a good kicking in the comments. Do they never read these and wonder if perhaps it is they who are wrong?
please please explain to me what is a hate crime and what is non-crime hate and what the police intend to do with non-crimes
Kaiser,
“….what the police intend to do with non-crimes”. Thats a real ‘1984’ type question. For a ‘non-crime’ to be a crime will require legislation to make the non-crime illegal. I’m sure the despots in the Home Office can come up with something after all, they managed ‘hate speech’, a non-crime is only one-step away. I hope I have’nt given anyone in the Home Office any ideas…………..
The current Home Office definition of HC is any criminal offence “which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic.”
Bad enough, but this piece of research from Nottingham Trent University from earlier this year is particularly troubling: “Misogyny hate crime is understood as ‘incidents against women that are motivated by the attitude of men towards women and includes behaviour targeted at women by men simply because they are women’. (Their work is funded by Nottinghamshire Police and the Crime Commissioner.)
Notice the shift? Now simply an ‘attitude’ is enough — unspecified motivation.
Watch as this kind of definition creep spreads like knotweed.
It is a vague catch-all. Perfect for the inept, venal or both.
I looked up our ‘service’.
https://www.westmercia.police.uk/hate-crime
It includes mostly wibble but then a rather oddly specific crime of tipping rubbish into a garden.
It also has ‘a quick exit’ tab. Which, like the rest of the site, is useless.
Guest it might be a browser issue your side — just tried that tab and it links straight to… er… the BBC home page.
Probably not the quick exit you’d be looking for under any circumstances.
I would have thought ‘hate’ is an entirely natural human characteristic, albeit undesireable.
‘Hurtsy’ sounds like their version of bbc ‘truthiness’.
My attitude to the police has shifted over the last 20 odd years.
It went from :
An essential and admirable force to keep law and order.
to..
An essential service which is worryingly absent from the streets to deter crime.
to..
A group to whom I contribute Council Tax that are really quite bad at clearing up and containing crime.
to..
A politicised group that really isn’t on my side and best avoided unless absolutely necessary, where there’s little point in reporting assaults, burglaries or anti-social behaviour.
to..
A sinister Common Purpose-led bunch of latter-day social workers in blue, who pretty much have given up their core role, preferring to sit on their arses and whine about Hate Speech, in between bouts of prancing about at Notting Hill Carnival.
to..
I pretty much hate the police!
Imay,
I think ‘hate’ is too strong a word ‘ indifference’ might be better …they did themselves no favours by becoming scared of enforcing the law in case it upset an imported ‘community’ but had no problem going after while people for saying things they don’t like and trivial nonsense involving ‘causing offence ‘.
Those taking on real terrorists -and hopefully shooting them – deserve all the support in the world but ‘cohesion officers’ and ‘hate crime ‘units – – or harassing those engaged in free speech -forget it .
Funny that they waste money on encouraging reporting of some ‘crime ‘ on one hand then moaning about lack of resources . They found the resources to carry out historic sex abuse allegations and even going after dead people . Crazy ..
The chief Constable of South Yorkshire – one Steven Watson must be so much with the snowflake community that he must want a peerage or knighthood to approve such nonsense .
Fortunately -he is a ‘he’ and hideously white which must clip his career wings when competing against the sistas and the ‘mo’s and others on colour …
That poster is almost as stupid as police men painting their nails with the rainbow nonsense .
I find that tweet deeply offensive. Should the Police lock themselves up to please me? This is all Alice in Wonderland stuff.
They should be reported for non attendance of “hate” crimes being committed against all the young white girls in their jurisdiction.
South Yorkshire police are an embarrassment, and have become more of a joke in the past few years.
I see the BBC are delighted womens football is suddenly so interesting and competative
Manchester United Women made a sensational start to their league season, beating Aston Villa Ladies 12-0 in the Women’s Championship.
it doesnt mention the crowd which was probably less than the score
Is villa ladies the one so popular that each girl must pay £250 to keep the team going . Now that’s populism .
First line of the report at Manutd.com says: “Manchester United Women began the WSL Championship campaign in devastating fashion, by hitting Aston Villa Ladies for twelve in front of a packed crowd at the Trevor Brown Memorial Ground.”
Further down the page it gives the attendance – 1,165.
Hardly a packed crowd.
That’s going on for a goal per paying crowd member.
Guess each goal gets dedicated to anyone still watching after 20 mins.
Since the ball seems to spend far more time kicked out of play than in more conventional football, is there a case for a higher number of ball boys?
Then again, should they be boys? And of course there’s the whole issue of that word ‘ball’. Suggestions, please, to reduce the underlying sexism?
Maybe a novelty element to it? It’s a lower league ground so probably room for no more than 2k or so.
Daily Politics team finding it hard to hide glee at ‘lower than expected support for the Swedish nationalists’. It follows similar results for among others Le Pen, Wilders and Farage but these things happen. At least, looking on the bright side nobody would suggest vote rigging, not in western democracies, anyway.
I repeat my demand that Swedes should not be allowed into civilised
democracies; they are hell bent on destroying Sweden, let them stew in their own halal juice. The French and Germans are reaping the results of voting for Macron and Merkel
Beltane. Actually, the vote rigging bit is incorrect. Apparently, OSCE observers believed that is was NOT a democratic election….. https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/09/10/sweden-election-osce-shock-undemocratic/
How does Serena Williams get victim status? Worth over £100 million; one of the greatest sportspeople in history; a celebrity – with all the power and delight that brings; plus an incredibly tough individual, in every sense – I would back her over any of the male tennis players in a fight.
She behaves atrociously and ruins a great event for everyone. As if it was ‘sexism’: she was bottling a final like she has before and lashed out like a spoilt toddler. Yet as she has victim status, due to facts entirely outside of her control, she gets to frame it as an issue of ‘sexism.’ And of course the bonkers Beeb back her rather than holding her to account for despicable behaviour; whatever wrong the umpire did or did not do this was not an acceptable response.
Bad character and being untouchables due to victim status are a poisonous cocktail: look at Rotherham. We must all take responsibility for our actions – it is the bedrock of civlilisation. If you are ‘oppressed’ though is it always someone else’s fault. Cursed be the BBC and their ilk for building this preposterous house of cards which is collapsing all around us.
I could not possibly comment, identifying as I do as a male Who, so… here’s one from a lady….
Seeing as the Beeb bang on about Serena being a good role model… well what an example to set! I officiate at a number of different sports and have been on the receiving end of a few ‘wobblies’ (mainly from parents). But if the youngsters start to think they can abuse the judge/umpire/referee and then play the victim card, sport is finished as we know it. Who will want to officiate (for no payment) if all they get is abuse? Grass roots competitive sport could not survive without the volunteers.
The only surprise is Serena hasn’t played the race card… yet
Just reunited with my iPad, and this from several days ago was on the page.
Do you not think in the current political environment’ left’ and ‘right ‘ is just as important as remain/ leaver . I don’t watch QT as it is nothing more than a tribal ritual of pretty raw bias – particularly with the highly vetted audience and their sifted questions .
Dumbly sounds as tired of life as humph on toady and is equally overpaid.
Kind of enjoying Adonis, Mason, O’Brien, Campbell etc rewarding the utterly supine efforts of almost all bbc market rate talent to appease them…. with yet more piling on.
‘The secret shame of having no sperm’

Not al beeb it worth a comment . The Londonistan evening standard has a story about traffick wardens targeting ambulances outside a cancer clinic .
However – as many will know – this is not unusual. The removal wagon in my local far left London Borough hides by the GP each morning waiting to lift the car of someone in need of medical attention .
That strikes me as a true hateful crime but the council would argue they need the money for the local minorities ….
BBC Online News:
“”Man arrested after breakfast with woman in Saudi Arabia””
“”In the video, a man with an Egyptian dialect eats breakfast beside a woman wearing a full face veil, who many assumed to be Saudi.
“”This is in contravention of the law in Saudi Arabia, where in workplaces or eateries like McDonald’s and Starbucks, families and single men have to sit in different areas.””
“”Women must sit separately from single men in these places.””
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-45471549
A future Labour Party conference breach of etiquette?? 🙂 🙂
It’s great to see the snake eating itself!
DS,
“….wearing a full face veil…”.
‘Not me Guv, it was one of the others’ (male or female?) wearing the full face veil’.
Who would know?
That’s just reminded me of the scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian, the stoning of someone and the women wearing beards are eager to join in but only men are permitted to do the stoning.

I can’t keep up……
Is that ‘expecting a baby’ because one of them is pregnant by actual intercourse with a man /turkey baster / IVF by unknown sperm / surrogate ?
At the weekend the news rooms were all agog that Mr & Mrs Robbie Williams had a new baby – not with each other, but a surrogate.
Lesbians/Gays/Transwottsits/heterosexual married couples (there’s a surprise !) have kids in all manner of ways now. What configuration is left I ask ?
Honestly ? I can’t get my head around it all, too many combinations for me.
Reading about the breakfast arrest in Saudi Arabia you have to wonder how Basil would have managed a party of fully burqa clad ladies in that Torquay hotel.
What they wear Meesta Fawlty?
@Talk Radio :this morning good to see that the Breitbart guy gave some push back against activist pushing the brainwashing of children on plastics
“Children should be learning about Maths and English, not having their heads filled with your political agenda”
Ah video
He’s right the person arguing against him was from LGBT Labour
..she was merely using plastic issue as a tool to push her lefty agendas
“You can’t persuade real people, so you’ve got to get the kids” – I have no idea who he is, but brilliant.
Royal Mail publishes research for PR
“Subscription box deliveries set to become billion-pound market”

This is the same BBC that tells you smart meters are good
..And then has loads of poncy cooking shows that cause the oven to be on for 3 hours instead of the 2 minutes to cook a can of beans.
For decades the Swedes have been achingly socialist, so what could possibly have turned them into Nazis overnight? It can’t be the sudden influx of doctors and engineers because, as the beebistan keeps telling us, immigration is a net benefit to any economy.
So it can only be global warming turning those Nordic minds to mush.
Either that or Trump.
But IIRC, when President Trump mentioned Sweden there was nothing going on in Sweden. Strange.

I thought the White Helmets were being extracted from Syria, and parachuted into kindly western countries ie the UK and Germany, for a well deserved assisted lifestyle?

BBC News about 5.40pm decided to get some views on Serena Williams’s appalling behaviour from a black professor in Afro American studies at Princeton University. Shucks, I did wonder why?
So, she duly asserted that Williams had been a victim of racism and sexism when penalised for breaking the rules of tennis at the US open.
Huw Edwards put some reasonable questions to offer balance, but the ‘victim’ narrative was clearly set – this wasn’t about tennis but about the arrogance of someone who thinks she is bigger than the game.
Williams and apologists like the professor may well have destroyed the career of a respected official who is now tainted with their smears and has no comeback.
In pursuit of their supposed feminist, anti-racist cause they reduced a brilliant young Japanese champion to sobbing and being booed when she should have been enjoying her deserved triumph. So much for the sisterhood, eh.
But there will be no apology from them because they have made this sporting issue political – just as Corbynistas can never apologise when their great leader comes out with anti Semitic statements.
The prof was allowed to claim that John McEnroe was only ever “condemned”, but never penalised, for being a brat back in the day. He was actually heavily fined, as have been many white male players down the years.
It has also been claimed the umpire changed the course of the match. He didn’t. Williams was losing, and she has a history of throwing tantrums when that happens.
These lies have been allowed to air too many times since the Williams debacle but the BBC continues to provide oxygen to this nonsense.
Williams is not a victim. She acted like a bully. Let’s move on.
If she can just bulk up a little more she will be ‘bigger than the game’… 😉
Perhaps tennis should be like boxing with ‘heavy weight ‘ to ‘featherweight ‘ rather than the seeding thing they have now .
Amazing what a bit of extra testosterone can do for your sports career. Poor Serena, not everyone’s lucky enough to have a plentiful natural supply like Hannah Mouncey.
Yet again the bbc speaks for the, ah, people the bbc speaks for…
http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2018/09/sea-of-serenity.html
Katty has really gone out to bat… racquet…
So, here we go again………
“With the adrenaline already pumping through her, and the thought of going match point down, Serena lost control.
Astounded by the verdict, she flipped out and marched to the official, shouting, waving her racket and shaking a ball in her clenched fist.
“I swear to God I’m… going to take this… ball and shove it down your… throat, you hear that? I swear to God. You better be glad — you better be glad that I’m not, I swear.” Williams told the line-judge in her expletive-laden rant. ”
NO, not this latest rant-loaded outburst by Williams, but an incident in September 2009, and again at the US Open. Does this woman have to commit murder before her defenders see her for the nasty type she is ?
(NB excellent article in today’s D/Mail by Martin Samuel on this debacle)
She’s actually performing a service as the role model for militant feminism. Keep it up woman and one day you will become a man. Not a very nice man, but that was never the point.
Oh dear. Apparently it’s racist.
Still the BBC tries to defend the indefensible.
“First they came for Uncle Tom…”

Whatever happens the Far Left BBC will say it the fault of the British – which they are not any more of course
Unusual spinning of Chemnitz demos by the Times
“Neo-Nazi thugs attack owner of Jewish diner in Chemnitz”
Strange things

#2 None of the photos show any damage to the restaurant
..But the Times leader is about how Chemnitz demos are anti Jewish
Of course it is believable that some German neo Nazis did turn up, I do wonder if the story has not been embillished.

Does the UK have “crisis-hit railway services across the north.” ?
cos I reckon the non-metrolib majority almost never use a train
cos the cost and location means trains haven’t been practical for them for 40 years.
Now I can understated that “railway crisis” is a narrative the Labour Party want to push
..but I am actually quoting from the BBC blurb on Tonights BBC TV North, Northwest, NorthEast joint special.
Freight railways can make money, but The infrastructure costs and daily running costs for passenger railways are so high, they almost always need big subsidies.
Correct. The USA passenger train has to be subsidised but freight is very profitable.
The network in the north was built by the Victorians to move goods and minerals not people . This has not made it easy to run a modern passenger service . Compare this with the south where passengers were always better served and more important.
In Yorkshire, if you take a train journey from Leyburn to Pickering, you have to change at Northallerton, Middlesbrough and Grosmont. The first section (Leyburn to Northallerton) and the last section (Grosmont to Pickering) are both extremely efficiently run by very high quality staff, the best run parts of the railway network in Britain, by far.

Some good Brexit News for Al Beeb’s researchers to pick up and run with………… https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/09/09/relx-ditches-netherlands-uk/
Taffman
I took one for the team and watched the whole of the BBC 1 10 pm news but for some unaccountable reason the news you mention did not make it on to the schedule
According to Al Beeb “UK growth helped by World Cup and warm weather”.
It was global warming that did it .
The BBC have given a lot of prime air time to the prosecution and life sentences handed out (totally deservedly) to some young thugs who tortured and killed a Leicester jeweller and tried and failed to rob the shop.
What’s the problem?
The thugs were white, the jeweller Indian subcontinental.
Now this should not be an issue. A crime is a crime and this was awful.
Except that I just can’t help feeling (evidence is the unreported knife crime epidemic in London) that if the thugs were, ahem, from certain ethnic minorities, and the jeweller white, the story may have been rather lower down the BBC news running order.
I feel the BBC ought to investigate this incredible year of weather we are having in the north.
In the winter it snowed. Then we had a bit of spring.
Then amazingly in the summer we had a heatwave – weeks of it!
But during August it rained quite a lot. The grass grew back green and lush. You couldn’t make it up!
Come September and it has been quite mellow, and misty, almost autumnal I’d say.
What is going on? If we get snow again this winter I won’t know what to think.
The weather show could really get their teeth into this weird northern climate.
It is almost as if we are getting four seasons in a year….
I keep looking at the thermometer if I am “fucking hot”. This year the top “fucking hot” moment did not exceed 90°. But the highest ever “fucking hot” moment I remember reached 99° about ten years ago. The Met Office said it was the “hottest ever”. Then it turned out to be England only. Now it looks like it could be caused by jet engine exhausts and tarmac at Heathrow, pushing it up the necessary 10° needed by the Met Office.
Has Al Beeb mentioned the 2016 Anti-Semitism inquiry by Chakrabarti recently?
Anyone ?
Al Beeb informs us “Tories must unite behind new Brexit plan, says Steve Baker”
The new plan is a charade .
We voted out, nothing more nothing less . Out !
If Theresa May remains in charge of Brexit we’d end up still partners, but paying for a divorce, anyway. She has to go, before she joins with Starmer to lead a renewed New Labour party and abolish democracy using emergency powers, with the help of the Judiciary, Civil Service and the House of Lords. Forming a Rump Parliament purged of those deemed “Populist“.
In communist China and the Soviet Union there were 5 year plans that destroyed the economy and made ordinary people’s lives a misery. Treezer has her 5 week or even 5 minute plans which are just as useless, very good at dividing people, making ordinary people’s lives a misery and keeping Treezer in power.
Tommy Robinson must be laughing his socks off after all the sanctimonious bile spewed in his direction by BBC presenters after his dodgy conviction….
BBC Asian Network’s head of news is charged over live bulletin ‘when reporter named victim of Rotherham sex abuse scandal’
‘BC Asian Network’s head of news has been charged over a live radio bulletin in which a reporter allegedly revealed the identity of a Rotherham sex abuse victim.
Arif Ansari is pleading not guilty to the charge relating to the radio broadcast on 6 February.
The charges were brought by the National Crime Agency investigating sexual abuse in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013.
The BBC said it was worried by the decision to charge an editor rather than the corporation as a whole.
‘This worrying decision only to prosecute the editor risks creating a climate of fear for editors endeavouring to report court proceeding in the public interest.’
They added: ‘The error happened once and the BBC took immediate steps to ensure there was no republication,’ a spokesman said.
‘We apologised directly to the individual concerned and to the court. The trial itself was not affected.
‘However, we accept this was a serious mistake. Breaching anonymity is a criminal offence.’
Ansari is due in court on 11 October. ‘
The BBC said it was worried by the decision to charge an editor rather than the corporation as a whole.
Because, as we all know, the BBC gets it ‘about right’, if not right, all the time.
As John Simpson tells us it is the rest of the world that has changed the BBC is still the same, i.e. ‘right’.
Odd that they didn’t feel TR deserved the same largesse, and didn’t demand that Rebel Media were prosecuted instead…
Im surprised that such a big story hasn’t had more attention but I suppose the left wing BBC doesn’t want to mention Tommy Robinson .
If the beeboid is convicted he must do time – surely because of the gravity of naming Pakistani paedophile Muslims during their trial – after all TR got 13 months .
At least the beeboid can go to a Muslim prison- there are plenty of them.
Man charged in murder of Canadian teen Marrisa Shen http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45478930
Take a wild guess before reading the article….
These officials will bend over backwards to appease these despicable perpetrators.
‘Homicide team Superintendent Donna Richardson said she hoped that there would be no backlash due to Mr Ali’s status in Canada. ‘
Note the wonderful misleading phrase: “Ibrahim Ali, 28, a Canadian permanent resident”.
Translation: A Syrian migrant who wasn’t born in Canada; had only been there 17 months; shouldn’t have been in Canada; is not Canadian; is nothing to do with Canada.
And there we were, thinking Canada had two official languages: French and English. We can now add a third: BBC-Trudeau-Mangina-Speak.
And…’teen’ bridges ages from 13 to 19. She was 13, he was 28.
The homicide superintendent said
“By and large, our refugees that come to the country are hard working citizens that are happy to be in Canada, and I would just hope that we look at this incident for what it is – a one-off situation,” she said.
I’m sure her parents are treating it as a one-off situation.
Vancouver is one of the most beautiful places to live in the world. It’s very diverse, the people are friendly and open and the attitude to life is positive. If you can’t integrate here, then …well the rest is self-evident.

Funny that this piece turns up in pole position on the uk website just after that ridiculous tweet from South Yorkshire police ????
They increasingly lead the news with ‘someone said X.’ If you lead with comments and big events you can shoehorn your agenda in constantly. I also hate the new focus on health and celebrity gossip. It is all to fill space so they do not have to report on the terrible reality created by their reckless uber liberalism.
Diversity is strength. This is believed with religiosity at the BBC; progressivism is indeed akin to a religion with its blind faith, esoteric language (white privilege etc) and its burning of thought criminals/heretics.
So the Met Police is controlled by a lesbian (double diversity points) and an Asian Muslim (double again.). According to their magical thinking this should provide so much strength that crime would effectively disappear. But in fact it is getting much worse. So clearly character matters more than superficial ‘diversity’, which a four year would understand.
Do they consider the evidence that their diversity crusade is somewhat misguided? Of course not. They plough on like zealots, martyring so much we hold dear to please false idols.

Our Justin interviewed some inept police superintendent who had forgotten what his press advisor told him to say .
He was asked about the South Yorkshire poster mentioned in this thread about reporting every thing to the police whether legal or not implying South Yorkshire police is looking for work .
This superintendent pretended to know nothing about it . Yeah really . While he was talking I checked how much he is on -.£75000. I fear the police will destroy itself by stupidity . Best avoided .
Already noted above.

“Serena Williams: Cartoonist denies US Open depiction is racist”
Fear not, the only functional JK Rowling brain cell is interviewed in the care home to defend the guilty, and misses the point by light years.
Rowling and Lineker, a match made in heaven? Opinions please.
The important point is, a new crime is introduced, lippism.
The crime of depicting people with thick lips, with thicker lips than they actually have.
A cartoonist exaggerates natural features, for the first time ever, and it is a crime.
So I consulted my “Infallible, complete, History of Cartoons” encyclopaedia.
Page one, the winner of the “most offensive, misleading cartoon” competition, since 2003 is The Guardian.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, real crimes are being buried by the BBC, every second.
Meanwhile it’s acceptable to mock President Trump’s hair or his “tiny dino hands” as per Talk Radio’s poor imitation of him advertising one of their shows?
The BBC is dying in front of our eyes. They (the BBC) do not realise it yet but it is. Get the popcorn in, then sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
There is a cartoon causing a stir because it is of a female tennis player who is black – having a hissy fit . Al beeb mentions it online . Judge for yourself about whether it fits into any allegation with regard to black people..
All I say is that everyone wants to be treated equally ( in beeb world ) so should this apply to cartoons .
Meanwhile, the bbc ‘analyses’, um… ‘further’, in their daily re-education and disinformation email:

Serena Williams and ‘angry black women’
The “angry black woman” trope has its roots in 19th Century America, when minstrel shows mocking African Americans became popular. Blair Kelley, associate professor of history at North Carolina State University, says black women were often played by overweight white men who painted their faces black and donned fat suits “to make them look less than human, unfeminine, ugly”. “Their main way of interacting with the men around them was to scream and fight and come off angry, irrationally so, in response to the circumstances around them,” she says.

Ritu, mate… if that doesn’t snag you a standing ovation as you enter the revolving doors, and maybe a Pulitzer, what will?
The girls are closing ranks.
Thing is… comments could…
Not the bbc because I doubt they would challenge it-but Julia Hartley Brewer (Talk Radio) will shortly be interviewing someone from South Yorkshire Police about their tweet asking for people to report non crimes whilst being ineffective at investigating actual crimes (such as the systematic rape of 1400 underage girls by Muslim paedophiles in Rotherham).
Oh my oh my! Just listened to this. Well done JHB for calling this idiotic police and crime commissioner out. He seems to think that he is a social worker rather than a police officer.
Wow! No wonder this country is in the state it is. We need our own swamp draining.
I was thinking of writing to this labour cretin on £85000 plus ex’s and allowances but what good would it do. But this ‘report’ virus will spread .
Hell’s teeth, TheIsland. This guy from the police force is saying that ethnic people who read unpleasant tweets were more victims than those who were stabbed by a Muslim woman. Madness.

Lucy Powell MP is an enemy of this site – and others like it. She wants a law to control what is published by people using sites like this . If you make a comment people like Lucy Powell MP doesn’t like you could be prosecuted .
I still cannot believe how rapidly free speech is being destroyed in Blighty by thick politicians on the make .
Declaration. The interview was done at about 0750. I didn’t hear it all as I turned the radio off when I heard that a Muslim was doing thought for the day .
What part of private conversation does she not understand? A private conversation in my living room amongst like minded people would not be policed ( I don’t have an “Alexa”) so why should a private group on Facebook?
Dyst,
I think you ll find that as a socialist Lucy Powell wants to control everything . You must only think or say things in accordance with her view of the world. Total control. Is that fascism ? I ask this because I do not know what fascism is – but her drive to impose her views on the rest of us is really scary .
She must be due a job in the Far Left BBC .
That is fascism exactly: nothing outside the State.
FedUp,
I thought exactly the same..and it made me realise how far the standards of intelligence have fallen in MPs..she couldn’t answer the simple questions about how this bill would work..beyond mentioning all the groups the Left don’t like and of course mysoginy but no mysandry.
However what gave away her real intent was when she said some of these individuals are acting as Publishers…ring any bellls..TR?
Basically it’s a bill to control free speech unless you say what the Left want..
Thought for the day…Ms Hussein (?) slagging off the Swedish elections and those that voted for change..all wrapped up in a façade of pseudo intelligence
What a start to the day
James
It really is not a good way to start any day. I really have to try and stop listening to any part of Toady – yet I feel I must know what the enemy is doing . And it is an enemy . It’s not an opposition because in Far Left BBC world there is no opposition – the future looks pretty bleak in Blighty .
The big thing is that this is all happening in an economic boom ( I know a lot of people are having a hard time ) but it’s low interest rates , high employment and ‘ acceptable’ energy costs – but when the recession comes – and it must -what then ?
James
Thought for the day was Moaning Siddiqui. I switch off upon hearing her name.
I avoid BBC on TV/radio so only have Ms Powell’s Guardian article to go by. It is troubling.
Her main target *appears* to be closed forums — because they “can be given a “secret” setting, they can be hidden away from everyone but their members…” locking out police and intelligence services. The ‘dark crevices of the online world’ as she describes. As this site and many more like it are open to the public, I would guess it qualifies as a light crevice?
Funny how the politics and activism of her main bogeymen (Tommy Robinson, Islamophobia, anti-semitism) are often carried out entirely publicly and transparently. Sometimes rather close to home, eh Lucy?
Slippery slopes and dark crevices. It’s going to get unpleasant.
Now I do t want to appear skeptical but I can’t help but think that Barnier’s last statement was choreographed. I feel that May is on an agreed path, planned by Robbins and his crew, agreed by Merkel and it’ll all fall perfectly into preplanned place. Europe will get its funding, May will get a nice cushy job and n Europe with a fat remuneration at the remainers will be patting each other on the back. The UK will be screwed. But hey what, it won’t be in Europe so that’ll keep the leavers happy, but it’ll be ruled by Europe so those naughty ‘Germans’ who have been causing a little trouble with knife crime and murder and making those ‘ultra right wing’ people ‘riot’ will be free to move to the UK. The ‘right wing’ will settle, Germany will be great again, and the UK – we’ll those silly people, let them sort the problems themselves.
I agree English Lass. It’s all part of the master plan.
Ooh, you cynic!
Cynicism of course soon also to be included under new offence laws.

I have to ask fellow posters herabouts – do we suffer a unique news situation in London? Our local BBC tv news brings us a brief bulletine in the mornings lasting less than a handfull of minutes and which regularly contains three headlines (which maybe relevant to the capital) and has to squeeze in travel and weather. Rarely do we get properly informative details behind those headlines and it is highly unusual for us to get a follow up report in subsequent days. Inevitably, since this is the capital city we’ve come to regard as Trashcanistan, much of the actual news concerns crime. The BBC however do their level best to leaven our news snack diet with sweeties such as approved arts and entertainment notices and especially prioritises issues pushed by campaign groups which are obviously those with a narrative close to the BBC’s approved agendas. The sketchy crime reports which do make the BBC’s headlines are a bitter pill heavily sugared with the BBC’s achingly PC in-house editorial gloss. A typical example of the BBC’s community cohesion policy straining to draw attention away from crime in certain communities are the occasions when a stabbing or shooting incident only shows up when the aftermath of the police investigation appears in the BBC’s travel reports.
Our marxist friends used to theorise capitalism would surely fall as a result of its inner contradictions. Maybe. But is this effect not more glaringly obvious for the Left? Isn’t it evident that what we see on the BBC are some howlingly awkward juxtaposions?
This morning the BBC local news has as one of its supposed three headlines the issue that it wants us to know lots of school kids are being excluded from class and this is a bad thing. This is not news it is a campaigning issue loosely pinned to some ‘report just out’ or ‘figures reveal’. Anyway, in the next headline one of those sketchy crime reports tells us 70 school kids have run amok in Uxbridge town centre. Oh dear, there goes the BBC’s narrative. Like the BBC had put up Serena Williams as their recently post-pregnancy role model successfully going back to work and she goes and blows her top.
And that quaint childhood tale of seventy go adventuring in Uxbridge. To coin a phrase – we have to look elsewhere for the details…
https://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/west-london-news/uxbridge-fight-video-town-centre-15135554
‘Horrific footage of the fight which took place in Uxbridge town centre between about 70 youths is being shared on social media.
The High Street and surrounding area became a “dispersal zone” on Monday evening (September 10) after crowds of young people “swarmed” and began “stamping and kicking each other”.
The violence led to one shop locking its doors in response to a young person running away to escape a larger group, Metropolitan Police confirmed.’
The video is heavily pixelated and a bit laggy but in case you were wondering there’s a lot of youngsters intoning whimsical cockney phrases such as : “innit, blud!”

I stopped taking in the local news long ago. I was involved in an incident which got reported . It was no where near the truth . I gave up then .
. But thought I about it – the south east of England is about 15 million people – minimum – yet those people get 3 minutes of coverage . The BBC local news has always been less than poor – I wonder if it is the internal culture that the only things that matter ( nationally) are what happens in Londonistan so therefore there is no need for ‘local’ news ….
The BBC could probably run 32 stations for Londonistan – one for each borough – Newhart would have its own Urdu station but I suppose the disgraceful Asia network does that already .
AsISeeIt- Everything you write is correct. However however although it is difficult to comprehend the Londonistan regional programme on the BBC mostly presented by Liz Rateef and Asad Ahmad is a programme for the ethnic community of the capitol. Yes there are the token whitey presenters and reporters. But you have to
remember that the indigenous population of the capitol is now a
small minority. And the notion of positive discrimination goes out of the window when it comes to us 30% or so indigenous Londoners.
I used to think at one time that Liz Rateef was just parroting her scripts written by her Trotskyist, Fifth Columnist editors . But more and more the way she says “Toreeeeeeeeees” or the “BOSSESSSSSSS” makes me believe that she enjoys doing the bidding of her editors.
The answer AsIseeIt is to just turn over the TV to another channel when this bile starts.
Am I alone in finding the pronunciation “Moosslim” annoying?
The BBC’s research shows that local news reaches a greater proportion of the general population than the main news – meaning that as a propaganda tool, local news has more value. I am frequently in London as well as the north and watch serious bias in both areas. In the north it is less about hiding crime committed by some parts of the community and more about attacking the government on schools and hospitals. But that isn’t to say that sometimes ‘men’ or ‘plumbers’ as used to be mentioned on here, are reported to have carried out some crime or other – usually when the names are given out they are eastern European. Political news is always delivered by Tim Iredale with a camera positioned below his nose and about 2 feet away so that it gives him a sneering look.
If you report a non-crime to the Police, are you wasting police time thus becoming a criminal?
2018 … In addition to reporting hate crime, please report non-crime hate incidents, which can include things like offensive or insulting comments, online, in person or in writing. Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire. Report it and put a stop to it #HateHurtsSY – UK South Yorkshire Police, 2018

I think the police has become so infected by promotion hunting police ‘managers’ that they seed their own destruction as far as public consent and trust is concerned .
Once lost – never to return .
Not the bbc.
MM
“If you report a non-crime to the Police, are you wasting police time thus becoming a criminal?”
However, if I do not report a non-crime, I will be aiding and abetting in the concealement of a non-crime.
However until the reported incident is investigated, which it will be, because the non-crime is ineluctably associated with a hate-crime, which is the most serious crime known to those with a negative IQ, it cannot be conclusively shown to be a non-crime.
Furthermore a classification of non-crimes is required, because not all non-crimes are equal.
I suggest the most severe non-crimes, those which the police wish to be reported, are classified as NonCrime1.
Then the police can record all NonCrime1 events. Since these are simultaneously, imaginary, non-criminal and serious, only one outcome is possible. The NonCrime1 events must be punished in special NonCriminal1 courts, which will return guilty verdicts in all cases because the reportee will be reporter, witness, advocate, jury and judge.
The NonCrime1 conviction rates can then be reported widely and there will be no need to produce statistics on real crimes.
I suggest that the classification NonCrime2 is given to incidental events, like murder or mass rape, which the police do not want reported, have no intention of investigating and will, if reported, record them as non-crimes to keep real crime figures down. Not that there will be any point in recording real crimes, as I noted in the preceding paragraph.
Will it soon become like the film the Minority Report where you can also be incarcerated for thinking about committing a crime only worse-you can be arrested for thinking about committing non crime too!
