Start the Week Open Thread 10 September 2018

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 .

    The attacks on Orban and Hungary are intensifying, I see. Some Dutch woman has submitted a report to the European Parliament, lambasting Hungary for a variety of offenses, reports Toady.
    But if you listen carefully , the ‘offences’ described could be said to occur all over the EU.
    Government control over media, for instance:
    Could you find a more slavish subservience by state broadcaster (ARD, ZDF, Deutsche Welle) than in Germany? The Merkel/’Grand Coalition message is the one, all else is – well, related to the little man with the moustache…And very few there are in the print media who disagree.
    Every other part of the report is similar bias and hypocrisy.
    And we know only too well why they’re having a go at Hungary.

    Labour’s all male female short list …

    O’Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. ‘We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation — anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.‘

        Can we commission design studio Nomad to create a logo based on the letter K?
        It stands for “Kickabout League”, an incredibly loose coalition of teams with players aged from about 13 to 60 or older. They meet up informally at parks and 3G pitches all over the country, often the matches are organised via text at the last minute, their games are never covered on Radio 5 Live, and if any of those women’s teams were to come up against anyone from the “K League” (I was going to put an age caveat in here but decided not to) they’d be trounced.
        There’s also the “ W League” for older men who play walking football at a sedate pace. In fairness they would trounce the women’s teams, draws or single digit wins would be more commonplace for them.

    Yesterday the routinely excitable and habitually pink neck-tie adorned Norman Smith twisted his knickers into elaborate reef knots of delight about Tory splits over Brexit policy in his rambling charicature metaphor-laden comedic news monologue.

    This morning nerdy gurning sniggering corpsing Chris Mason joins BBC Breakfast for a Brexit update.

    The sofa puppet and moppet show their appreciation:

    “You should go into comedy… you always make us laugh… we do love him”

    I wonder if you too have noticed how many of our comedians yearn to be newscasters and how too many of our newspeople yearn to be comedians.

      No idea who Chris Mason is, but on the subject of comedians, if one is invited onto a sofa on the BBC and I walk into the room when they’re on, I always know they’re a comedian because the interviewers laugh at everything they say. It doesn’t have to be funny, in fact it rarely is, but the hosts on these shows can’t help but feel compelled to create their own type of canned laughter. Because they’re talking to a “comedian”

          In 2001 I was working at Gatwick Airport, I spent the evening of 9/11 glued to the TV in tears. I knew the aircrafts and had been on them many times . I can’t watch any repeats of that abortion they called a program, even now typing this I’m sat here with tears rolling down my face. I remember going into work and seeing the American crews and hoping they hadn’t seen it , I was ashamed to be British.

      Which is the great irony here….There is no more obvious event that shows what true ‘hate’ is and what real hatred can do!

      Have men ever felt as much hatred in their hearts than those muslims that flew planes into the ‘Twin Towers’ 17 years ago?…..

      …just imagine if someone told you 17 years ago that the governments sworn to protect us would willingly and purposely encourage thousands more into our countries with this very same hatred in their hearts towards the infidels, who are willing to die for their God and carry out 9/11 in a heart beat if they could?….is there no greater example of treason?

    Eh? “climbed to the peak”?

    Peak of salaries, perhaps, but not the peak of achievement.

    IMO, TV entertainment started to go downhill when someone decided that people who play records are actually important.

    A thought: If we are now to defined by our group and not ourselves wouldn’t it be a lot easier to wholeheartedly adopt these ‘historic’ group identities?

    So for instance all the Women’s Hour presenters would be ejected back to the kitchen and all ‘blacks’ would become slaves. After all isn’t that what ‘identity politics’ is all about – ‘be the group’?

    See how easily multi-millionaire professional tennis player Serena Williams slipped back into her oppressed black mama role all by herself!

    No mention of the muslim destruction of the N/Y Twin Towers ( I hate this 9/11, 7/7 thing) on BBC Front Page, ITV internet news. Didn’t hear anything on Toady. Don’t do TV.

    I read elsewhere about an ‘offensive’ cartoon about Serena Williams and knew it was grimly inevitable that the BBC would cover it. They use their standard journalistic rigour of reading out the Tweets of their lefty comrades who all think the same way. They are so desperate for this to be racist that they make all sorts of obscure allusions and go back in history to when there was real racism hoping to draw parallels.

    We have ‘structural racism’, feeling ‘offended’ and of course ‘dog whistling’ where any innocent words are seen as veiled Nazi salutes. It is all such nonsense. Martin Luther King dreamt of a day when a black tennis player could win 23 grand slams, not for a world where people could work as hard as possible to be ‘offended.’

      I wonder if South Yorkshire Police have employed Baldric to come up with a cunning plan.

      Once they have enough statistics on the “non-crime hate incidents” they can re-categorise them as ” behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace”. Then they can arrest anyone for anything with an automatic conviction. With enough convictions for pretend crimes to set against the uninvestigated gang rapes their percentage clear-up rate will be impressive. Bonuses all round.

    Is it coz she’s black? Or female? Or just a mouthy, bullying cheat?

    ‘”She had a match on her hands against Naomi. I’ve seen it happen a few times where she starts to bully the situation and try to intimidate her opponents a little bit and she comes with these outbursts.”‘

    The BBC has mobilised in defence of Serena Williams, the full force of its race, equality and gender police have been put on a war footing.

    Listening to 5 Live last night and they admitted that the umpire’s call was perfectly correct and legal, Williams’ own coach admitted he was coaching her…the action that got her punished…however….whilst not condoning Williams’ behaviour we must realise she reacted in such a manner only because she has in the past suffered racist and sexist abuse toward her and her angry reaction on court was merely a visceral manifestation of all that past oppression bubbling out in an angry outburst.

    And anyway, the umpire’s decision was surely underlayed with subconscious racism and sexism wasn’t it? The BBC is in effect calling the umpire racist and sexist as it explains away Williams’ behaviour. The BBC is whipping this up into a massive storm from what was just the usual angry tantrum we have come to expect from Williams’….not as if it is anything new…..

    She’s just one angry lady….oh..hang on, that’s apparently a ‘trope’…I just missed out the ‘black’…one angry black lady….the BBC has spent hours cobbling this load of cobblers together…

    Serena Williams and the trope of the ‘angry black woman’

    ‘Mammies, jezebels, Sapphires. Black women in America have long been dogged by negative stereotypes, rooted in a history of racism and slavery. In the aftermath of Serena Williams’ controversial US Open loss, it’s the trope of the “angry black woman” that has once again re-emerged.’

    What? Haven’t seen anyone make such a connection or ‘trope’. This is BBC reverse racism making spurious links between legitimate critical comments about her behaviour and racism. Not only is the umpire a racist so is anyone who defends him…a sexist too.

    This is only in the BBC’s own mind where such angry suspicions live and constantly seek outlets looking for the slightest excuse to proclaim there’s a new victim of white oppression and to leap to their rescue….white middle class colonialism…the Blacks need us to help them!

    And of course a cartoon in a Murdoch paper has been deemed racist and sexist along the same lines…

    ‘Mark Knight’s newspaper cartoon showed Williams jumping above a broken racquet next to a baby’s dummy. Critics said it used racist stereotypes.’

    Hmmm…except it is a perfectly average cartoon that shows nothing unusual or insulting let alone racist or sexist and is a pretty anodyne joke…

    world-australia-45479954

    Apparently her opponent, Naomi Osaka, shouldn’t be drawn with a blond ponytail…racist or something….because of course she doesn’t have such a thing …as you can see from a photo from the match itself…

    1067867336.jpg

    ef96d3c9cbd5956c44819acae08bf2e5

    The BBC thinks that the umpire’s reaction was somehow wrong…but fail to point out what exactly he has done wrong…

    ‘Her reactions to the referee’s calls – which the Women’s Tennis Association has since decried as “sexist” – were no different from how many top players react in the heat of a championship game.

    But it was the way she was punished for her anger that has sparked further outrage.’

    …oh hang on it’s because she’s black and female…it’s a case of disproportionate, selective, racist, sexist umpiring…

    ‘…African Americans are disproportionately pulled aside.’

    ‘BBC tennis presenter Sue Barker, who said: “I’ve sat courtside watching the men ranting at umpires and they haven’t been given a violation.”‘

    Really? Even the BBC’s own figures don’t show any discrimnation against women, men yes, but not women…and how many women don’t get a violation? Plenty I’m sure.

    ‘Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was one of 10 women punished for code violations at this year’s US Open, while 26 men were fined.
    Three men and three women were penalised for an audible obscenity, five men were fined for time delays, while four men and one woman were penalised for unsportsmanlike conduct.’

    _103366605_us_open_fines_640-nc.png

    So why is the BBC’s commentary all directed towards claiming Williams’ is the victim of sexist/racist discrimination when the facts just don’t back that up?

    No updates from the BBC?….wonder why….

    Barnsley stabbing – first pic of suspect Ayaan Ali, 28, as she appears in court for attempted murder

    ‘THIS is the first picture of a woman charged with attempted murder after a shopper was stabbed in a busy town centre.

    Ayaan Ali, 28, was arrested after police raced to Barnsley, South Yorks., amid reports a man had been injured in a knife attack.’

    Ayaan-Ali1-e1536580590522.jpg?w=960

    The BBC didn’t of course note in its initial reports that the woman arrested had been wearing a headscarf….not possibly relevant? Then again the police immediately came out and said she was being assessed for mental health issues. Who knows, perhaps like Serena Williams she has a history of suffering racist and sexist abuse and it all came to a boil in a furious outpouring of rage on the streets of Bolton….she’s innocent really…driven to it by years of white, male, christian oppression.

    Oh wait..there is an update but you have to burrow away until you find it buried deep in the Sheffield and South Yorks page…and then it is a quick hullo, goodbye, thanks for reading…

    ‘A woman has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a man was stabbed in Barnsley.

    Ayaan Ali, aged 28, of Isleworth, west London, has also been charged with affray and possession of an offensive weapon and remanded in custody.

    Ms Ali was remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 8 October.

    It follows an incident in Barnsley town centre at about 08:20 BST on Saturday when a man suffered minor injuries.’

People are sick to death of the PC lynch mob sucking all the fun and sanity out of everything.

      I always think it reasonable to never apologise to bullies, and so called victims and minorities that attack people a comments or opinions and demand apologies are generally bullies especially as they do this on social media in public as, like the playground bullies they all were at school they fully know they have a few people behind them ready

      That’s dead right! President Trump faces them down, and they simply don’t know how to deal with that. All they have ever known is the person they are attacking apologising to them and begging forgiveness – he is the ultimate breath of fresh air.

    Chimpanzees and bonobos have temper tantrums when their decisions don’t play out as they’d hoped, hinting that humans aren’t the only species to let emotions influence their choices.
    These non-human apes pout, whimper, scratch themselves and bang on things when a risky choice fails to pay off or when they have to wait for a desired reward,

    There is something I have yet to look into and that is the political influence of the state of Pakistan in Britain. For example you hear of political active British Pakistanis who are councillors or possibly even MPs who are of a younger generation to parents or grand-parents who were or are politicians in Pakistan. Has anyone else here looked into this? In Pakistan you tend to get political dynasties and this extends into Britain with family members moving into Britain and becoming politically active in Britain.

    The BBC has just reported that the wife of former Pakistani Prime-Minister and her family are living in Britain and the wife has just died of cancer:

    ‘YH: The greatest threats to the independence of nations are at the level of ideas. Universalist ideas, both Marxist and liberal, dominate intellectual life in America and Europe. The universities are not just some ivory tower. They are a transmitter of ideas, training generations of students who go on to implement the things they studied. The last generation, since 1989, will all the crazy talk of a utopian “new world order”—in which all the nations of the world give up their independence and self-government and obey “laws” invented by international law professors—all of this is ultimately the product of universities that teach utopian political and economic theories instead of training students to face empirical reality. We need a conservative or realist alternative to academic Marxism and liberalism, but we don’t have it except maybe in the most rudimentary form. This means that every international institution is immediately governed by Marxists or liberals, just as like the universities that train the officials that are appointed to run these institutions. Under these conditions, every international institution just accumulates power so it can force Marxist or liberal ideals on what independent national governments.’

      Brexiteers on manoeuvres

      Brexiteers leadership

      “Everyone I know says she has to go.” “She’s a disaster.” “This can’t go on.” Just some of the sentiments apparently uttered by Conservative MPs who met last night to openly discuss how and when they might be able to force Theresa May out. About 50 Brexiteers – part of what’s known as the European Research Group – are deeply unhappy at the PM’s Brexit strategy, the so-called Chequers plan, but have had no luck in trying to persuade her to rethink it. They’re now considering “possible scenarios over the Autumn”, one MP said.

      The criticism often levelled at Brexiteers is that they haven’t come up with a realistic alternative to Chequers. To counter that, on Tuesday Boris Johnson and others threw their weight behind the option of a “clean break Brexit”, one with no trade deal. BBC Reality Check has looked at the case for that option. Later today, Brexiteers say they’ll also unveil a solution to the problem of the Irish border. While you wait for that, read more about the political factions attempting to shape Brexit.“

      ***

      Now I am no Treezer fan, and much of this could be true, but… as a reporter for the BBC, Victoria King has managed precisely no named source. But has popped in an ‘apparently’ as cover. Plus of course ‘criticism levlled’, mainly by their unnamed mates Adonis and Campbell.

      Laughably, she refers to BBC Reality Check ‘looking at’ things through their blue and gold starred glasses.

    The actress Fenella Fielding has died and the BBC has published an obituary on its website. But, being the BBC, it has to jazz it up a bit to ensure the right political messages:
    Misogyny 1: Her father – who could be charming in public – was a “street angel, house devil”, she recalled who “used to knock me about with his fists”.
    Misogyny 2: alongside Norman Wisdom – who she came to loathe. “Not a very pleasant man,” she later said. “Hand up your skirt first thing in the morning.
    Class Hatred: Her mother began turning up at RADA at lunchtime, making a scene and insisting Fielding leave. “Really, darling”, she would say, “these common people!”
    Homophobia: Williams went white and shrieked that she’d “called me a homosexual in front of the whole audience”.
    Bonus Points: Politically, she was on the left – despising Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s
    Ms Fielding was of a migrant background, with a Romanian mother and Lithuanian father. The reference may or may not be relevant, but is the implicit subtext that we should think of all the great actresses will we miss out on when we leave the EU? Unfortunately, the BBC are unable to highlight any references to racism or anti-semitism, although they do prefer to de-emphasise the latter these days.
    Perhaps the above analysis is a bit over-sensitive, but compare the general tone and references to the following alternatives:

    The BBC’s Chris Morris in a supposed ‘Reality Check’ tries to pour cold water, and a bit of the usual sneering scorn, upon the ERG’s analysis of a post-Brexit Britain using Economists for Free Trade figures…which Morris tries to undermine by calling them a ‘pressure group’. Does he use the same term for those who support Remain?

    ‘These figures are based on a number of calculations and assumptions, not all of which stand up to scrutiny.

    Those who have modelled a clean Brexit properly, the EFT asserts, report long-term gains from free trade of 2%-4% of GDP. The report dismisses alternative modelling – done by the Treasury and by Whitehall’s Cross Departmental Brexit Analysis – which arrived at very different conclusions.

    But that is part of the problem. The EFT are convinced that they are the only people who have modelled the data correctly – even though theirs is a minority view.

    “The vast majority of economists think it will be different,” says Prof Alan Winters, director of the UK Trade Policy Observatory at the University of Sussex.

    “Because a hard Brexit will cut trade with the EU, which is by far our largest trading partner, significantly.”‘

    ‘Cut trade significantly’? Really? Why when others, as you can see below, trade so freely wth the EU from outside of it?

    The usual mantra from Remainers and the EU itself is we can’t have good trade terms wthout freedom of movement and staying in the single market….and Morris quotes Prof. Alan Winters with glee as a rebuttal to the ERG and EFT.

    However one look at what Winters has said elsewhere reveals the truth…you can have almost complete tariff free trade without all those encumbrances….

    ‘In fact most EU trading partners receive better than that. Nearly 70 countries avoid almost all tariffs because they have free trade agreements (FTAs) with the EU. Low and lower-middle income countries avoid most of them via EU development-oriented preferences. Some of the FTAs go a bit further than tariffs to cover areas like services trade and mutual recognition of testing procedures.’

    There is absolutely no reason why Britain should not be party to such an agreement and illustrates why Leave was correct when claiming trade negottiations with the EU should have been the easiest possible as we already clearly align with the EU as we’re in it so it is merely a matter of translating that into new agreements removing the requirement for the baggage attached to membership of the EU which seems unnecessary to gain the benefits of free trade when you examine how other countries outside the EU already trade so freely with it. Just why would anyone want to join the EU when you can get a good deal outside and remain free and independent yourself and not at the mercy of drunks, fools, petty tyrants and egomaniacs?
