Weekend Open Thread 6 October 2018

The Far Left BBC will turn the possible  US Supreme Court victory for President Trump into a defeat as it shows its’ full bias.Next biased attack please …

Russians are  making themselves easy targets as they try to muscle in on BBC territory to undermine the West. We are meant to believe the Russians want to hack the NHS – a culture still using fax machines to avoid the accountability of emails . Perhaps they’d favour us with hacking the BBC.

Then the House of Clowns returns after another little holiday joining with the BBC to block Brexit .

    Nick Beake, the BBC’s intrepid foreign correspondent at the Indonesian tsumani, does… Jim’ll Fix It

    Flicking onto the BBC News Channel this afternoon I’m initially dismayed as the anchor leads into yet another report from Palu on the island of Sulawesi as she seems almost to relish the death count and gives us the latest: ‘there could be thousands still buried in the rubble’. Stop with the disaster porn, I think. A moment of lethargy (which one might term extreme disaster fatigue) prevents me from reaching for the remote prior to my expectation that the female asian BBC reporter on the ground with her strangled English will once again be berrating us with the ‘anger’ of the locals at the tardiness of the relief response. Pressure guilt.

    But no. Here comes Nick Beake fresh from Rohingya-land a little late to the party but arriving in Palu in time to find a young boy whose arm was broken in the earthquake whilst he was in town watching his beloved Manchester City on tv. Our Nick clearly revels in the BBC news matra of telling people’s stories. For my taste he’s also a little too keen on making the stories. Observing that our quake victim is a particular fan of Riyad Mahrez (City’s French born Algerian transfered for something north of £60m) our BBC chap declares:

    “We thought Manchester City ought to know about this so we contacted them”.

    Cue the sound of Jimmy Savile’s distinctive yodel… ‘as it ‘appens, guys and gals’

    And sure enough, our Nick returns to the casualty tent where the youngster is recuperating clutching his BBC-issue laptop so as to bring a tear to the eye of the Indonesian lad when he plays a message from said Mahrez. How could Man City’s PR department refuse? They’d have to have a heart of stone. And be exteremly short-sighted in the marketing department.

    I’m metaphorically sick a bucket at this point – and on the basis that a trouble shared is a trouble doubled, decided to share.

      Is he the same one who muttered some crap about the Indonesians-yes, grieving -but now all ready to move on from it all, and be too maudling?
      He`d only just arrived, and he`s invoking the Spirit of the Manchester Arena. “Don`t Look Back In Anger” twaddle.
      Unless it Grenfell, Orgreave or Hillsborough of course.
      This BBC creep really has no right to pontificate on how entitled the Indonesians are to grieve…and, yes the number of bodies was a factor in his calculus.
      Sickening, ignorant and typically trite platitudes from particularly stupid amoral hacks .

    Noticeable that BBC and Sky have eased up considerably on the Kavanaugh tweets. His angry face , their picture of choice , no longer popping up every 5 minutes. Another battle lost by the dangerous liberal looney left. Thankfully. No doubt regrouping and marking out their next target …….going to have a wild punt and guess it will be a white male !!!!!. Loving these loonies not having it all their own way …..about time too. Although I don’t think they are enjoying it ……..tough !!!!!!!!

      Global News clearly did not get the memo.

      Taking a leaf from the BBC’s book they had impartial punditry to savour on ‘calls for’ Judge K to be hung drawn and quartered from the Editor of… The Hill.

      That is The Hill, without which Katty Kay would have no sources to quote.

      That is, this The Hill:

      Perfect for a BBC RT or like.

    Tragic, in every way. But as this is about the BBC…

    BBC News

    A large proportion of those who die during interactions with US police officers have a disability. This is the story of Ethan Saylor – told by his mother.
    Learn more: bbc.in/2y0sXnq

    No link to comments, but… #CCBGB A surprise, as usually these are open season for virtue signallers and armchair beat police.

    The top one points out the BBC is really giving this story… from the USA… a lot of BBC attention. Perhaps because BBC attention over there is not comfy where it has been until recently and needed a distraction.

    As ever a variety of things were left out, but given this was by the deceased’s mother, perhaps inevitable. However, again, allowing the media to shape inquiries or court case outcomes is not looking a great future for anyone the BBC expects to keep them safe.

    Meanwhile it is over three months since six year old Alesha MacPhail was raped and murdered on the isle of Bute.

    Police arrested and charged, an unnamed teenager, shortly afterwards.

    Then the BBC pushed the story down the memory hole. The same memory hole where the millions of rapes went.

    Usually curious, the BBC displays an amazing unconcern about this murder.

    Whereas I am most concerned, because Bute was enriched by some “refugees” recently.

    When does the identity of the accused become public under Scottish Law?

    I used to like talking coming from the radio rather than music whilst I did the cooking or the ironing (traditional gender roles to a degree in the ‘D’ household) but the amount of time before I find the ‘off’ switch grows less and less. I really should reset the radio to Classic FM (I know somebody on this site recommended a Swiss station – could they remind me of it, please.)
    Today, ironing and I switched on the radio Saturday afternoon. Jane Garvey on Woman’s Hour (weekend edition) interviewing a female Conservative MP who is trying to encourage more Conservative women standing for parliament. Jane’s tone of voice when asking twice why the Conservatives don’t have all women shortlists because ‘they work for Labour’ was said in such a voice that was just plain aggressive and rude.
    It is a good job that I am not a Conservative MP because I would have pointed out that such Labour MPs as Angela Rayner and Diane Flatbot are so poor that it gives every justification for women to work on the counter at Woolworths and leave running the country to men. At this point I will make no comment about Mrs May.
    But my real point is why an interviewer from the BBC thinks it is OK to be as rude as they like to any Conservative who agrees to be interviewed and why in response the Conservatives don’t hit them with both barrels. Labour would have done under Alistair Campbell for far less.

      Deborah,

      That would be the same Jane Garvey who infamously said, while reminiscing about Labour’s 1997 election victory, that, “The corridors of Broadcasting House were strewn with empty champagne bottles.”

      Thing is, she had the decency to try to backtrack a bit after that admission of bias but then realised that there was no way to retract the statement and stopped trying to do damage control. She then said something like, “Wish I hadn’t started this.”

      Could be that she needs reminding that there was a time when she was honest about the BBC’s bias in favour of the left. Those little flashes of honesty are incredibly few and far between on the BBC.

    Against my better judgement I’ve been watching a broadcast of a few of the Democrat talking heads waxing eloquent about their disdain for judge Kavanaugh. It appears to be live and the final vote will allegedly be taking place at 5pm US eastern time, in a couple of hours.

    Apparently the really good news is that the vote has already been determined in favour of the judge’s nomination, and I suppose the final vote is just a formality so I’m wondering what these current speakers hope to gain by continuing to trash Kavanaugh. Perhaps they simply want their opposition on the record but I have never heard such voluminous amounts of crap spewed with such apparent sincerity and moral conviction.

    And I hope I’ll never hear it again.

    Come to think of it, that would preclude me ever listening to the BBC again.

      Any time I heard this news item re Kavanaugh on the radio, it is made perfectly clear what the Sky and BBC hacks think of his being passed to be a judge.
      “Alleged sex offender has been passed to be a SC judge, being Trumps nominee”…
      All day. Nothing whatsoever about how these allegations came about in real time, who released them and why they just MIGHT have had ulterior motives.
      No-both Sky and the BBC think that being innocent until proven guilty, the right to defence or a fair trial before these slurring witch hunts etc-well it`s so last century.
      Won`t somebody PLEASE think of the vulnerable victim…and how could she possibly be seen as partial?
      Outrageous smearing all day by the liberal hacks. They wilfully tried to destroy this man and his family, just to nobble the hated Trump.
      How on earth are they getting away with this?
      The US Law has been weaponised every bit as much as ours nowadays. Brexit and Trump in 2016, at least have taught us that. And the consequences if we don`t deal with this use of law to destroy political prerogative, as duly mandated by electorates.

        Alicia ,
        The polarisation being promoted by MSM is very concerning and difficult to assess where it is going . Permissive liberalism has been running public organisations for decades and any threat to their interests is violently attacked because so many people have ‘skin in the game’ .

        We see this in the ‘ look the other way stuff ‘ infecting out country – Islamic paedophilic rape gangs being the most obscene example – but moving down to practices which people are forced to accept – such as the burka …

        Our Brexit will help if it is anything like the wishes of joe public to get control back . And if President Trump gets a respectable second term he can really get going on the swamp .

    Now that justice Kavanaugh has been confirmed I wonder how many people against him actually know why they are or how his judgements have gone in the last few years .

    On this side of the pond there has been a long standing complaint / observation that judges are not of ‘the real world ‘ and need to have ‘ experience of life’ . Well mr justice Kavanaugh has been through the ringer – together with his family – and seems to have come out the other side .

    Reason seems to be in short supply but rabid group think is in the ascendency . I suppose that certain democrats will continue to physically abuse and harass Justice Kavanaugh in their in their inability to accept the outcome of democratic procedures – Soubry , Adonis and others might take note – or not .

    Congratulations President Trump – good luck with the next nominee .

    Because the vote was so close and a lot of the senators were a bit thick and didn’t know what they were voting for perhaps they should be given the chance to have a second final vote – no ifs no buts – once in a generation – call it a people’s vote – and if they don’t get that right have another one ….

They have bowed to the pathetic PC brigade by making the main character a female, it looks like the companions tick all the PC boxes as well by being different colours, and you just know that every episode will have some underlying political or left-wing message.

        So……do I give it a chance, or is this yet another part of my life that I have to leave behind, something else eroded in this rotten era? Do I still watch it for the sake of tradition? It’s a quandry.

          I’m not watching Doctor Who because it’s the Thirteenth Doctor, so it would be unlucky for me to watch it. In fact, if you have Triskaidekaphobia, its probably now illegal to watch Doctor Who.

          Also consider the possibility that the Thirteenth Doctor Who was responsible for, the death of Jesus, Britain losing thirteen American Colonies, the American Civil War, the Apollo 13 disaster and the thirteenth episode of Doctor Who which was called “The Brink of Disaster”

          So to avoid the disaster, watch JRR Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” on ITV2, instead.

    If anyone has ever seen any of these programmes (on Channel 4 I think) then hopefully you’ll have a similar view to mine. I love watching the various old clips, whether they be sport, music, comedy etc etc, brings back so many memories and of course only a bunch of completely pointless lefty snowflakes could be offended by the clips……which brings me onto the completely pointless lefty snowflakes who we see on the show, sitting there watching said clips in horror, open-mouthed, aghast, performing double-takes, feeling “offended” at what was on offer in the 1970’s.

    I think it’s fairly clear which side of the fence the actual programme itself comes down on. In fact I’m kind of surprised that the bBBC doesn’t make the programme itself.

        The use of most of those “offensive words” on TV were absolutely taboo in the 1970’s. Now you can say almost any swearword you like. Certainly the first two words you mention would barely raise an eyebrow today.
        Even that aged dinosaur Jon Snow was pictured with the the F word emblazoned on a T shirt. Sad old git.
        As for the third, only black rappers are permitted to use it. Absolutely verboten for anyone else!
        In the 70’s we still had the likes of Dick Emery and Benny Hill. There seems to be an attempt to expunge them from our collective consciousness. Although both are popular on You Tube.
        Now we’ve got the likes of Keith Lemon and Julian Clary.

What confuses me even more is how not funny in the slightest Shappi Khorsandi seems to crop up on virtually ever one of these programs is it because she has such in depth knowledge of British society from the 1960s. Wonder how much these people get paid for their appearances? It’s on Channel 4, so almost the same as the BBc.

    Her detractors, though, say that Clinton has unfairly lashed out over the years at the women involved in her husband’s indiscretions. Her responses­ have forced her to walk a fine line during the campaign on sexual assault issues, even as she builds strong political support among female voters

    Female voters ? hmhh silly bitches it seems, like the silly bitches marching in London against Trump in suport of a sex criminals wife…..unless they have a liking for cigars

    A charming depiction of JRM. Darken the stubble look above the lip, flick out a piece of hair on the forehead, menace the eyes a little and you’ve got it! It’s amazing that all the Irish have done throughout Brexit talks is winge and moan. No positive suggestions have been forthcoming. Verruca has been wined and dined by the EU and made to feel important so has danced their tune with no thought of his own in his head. Ireland could have pushed hard for the EU to ensure they did well out of Brexit, but the EU have played them like a piano, playing their aged old hatred of the UK and waving the threat of the border and they haven’t had the sense to see beyond this. They have been delighted to be used as the stick. But, they will find themselves isolated and the interest will drop off when their use is evaporated. verruca will be given a job in the EU and happily leave his people behind.

    Amused to see the BBC’s ‘Reality Check’ king has been caught cooking the books as ‘Is the BBC biased?’ points out.

    Cook claimed the IEA got its maths wrong when calculating their post-Brexit growth model… when challenged on his own maths he had to admit he had got this wrong and had the offending article removed…but he fights on in the backstreets. Instead of rewriting the article he binned it but says….‘I still think their model is fundamentally flawed….The IEA, I declared, needed to do more homework. That’s still true. But so did I.’

    He tweets ‘This is very frustrating; this week, my scepticism about the model has hardened further. But I botched the article – and I want to hold myself to the standards that I demand of other people.’.

    Hardly a genuine admission…’I got it wrong…but….they are still wrong, the more I think about it the more wrong they look….their model is fundamentally flawed’.

    ‘Fundamentally flawed’??, he is even more sceptical about their model than when he botched his own first attack on them, and yet, and yet he can’t manage to actually quantify those fundamental flaws, he can’t present us with a reasoned, coherent, calculated takedown of flaws so major they can be seen even from the giddy heights of his ivory tower at the BBC.

    Instead he resorts to trolling the IEA, in effect, with casual and unprofessional snipes from twitter and ironically even in his ‘mea culpa’ admission of failure.

    I wonder if part of the BBC’s anti-IEA stance is because the IEA sees the BBC as biased and wants it privatised as stated in 2016…

    ‘In Focus: The Case for Privatising the BBC’.

    ‘Bias, technological change and commercial competition necessitate reform’

    Surely not?

    Cook is very interested in Irish politics and issues and writes for Irish media. Maybe he has a very tangled web of allegiances, BBC, Ireland, EU, that nudge his reporting on a certain line such as pro-EU, anti-Brexit?

    I have frequently asked him where in the Good Friday Agreement is there any imperative, injunction, demand, condition, prerequisite or term that there should be no border of any kind between NI and Ireland. No reply and no reply from any of his colleagues. Could be because there is absolutely no such conditon in the agreement and yet the BBC have relentlessly said we must have no border because it would break the GFA and the terrorists would then be free to kill and murder again…given licence to do so by Brexit which has betrayed the peace agreement.

    Look at the BBC’s latest and they must have realised their narrative was a lie as they now claim that the condition of ‘no hard border’ is merely one set by the EU and Britain between themselves, no reference to the GFA…it’s just because we are in the EU now that we have no hard border…

    ‘As the UK and Ireland are currently part of the EU single market and customs union, products do not need to be inspected for customs and standards, but after Brexit, all that could change.
    Both the UK and EU have agreed they do not, in all circumstances, want a “hard border” – which means physical checks or installing infrastructure such as cameras or customs posts.

    Both sides signed up to that promise in December 2017.’

    Er what? ‘Both sides signed up to that promise in December 2017.’ And there was me thinking it was the GFA that was the sticking point..mainly because that was the BBC narrative for so so long….you know…put a border post at the border and the terrorists would gun them down, civil war, armageddon etc etc etc.

    The border issue is one concocted by the unholy alliance of the Irish government, the IRA and the EU in an attempt to annex NI and absorb it into the EU and to ‘unite’ Ireland and NI.

    Shame the BBC aren’t more honest in addressing this issue and admitting the real politics behind the moves.

    We had a great display of balanced reporting from the beeb on this morning’s BH on R4. Paddy O’ Connell had two women to discuss the Judge Kavanaugh issue, ‘one from each side’.
    The first, the screamer/shreeker who tried to intimidate Senator Flake, was allowed to go first, uninterrupted; the second, went on a lengthy ‘pro-women’ diversion before she came out to support the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty’. O’ Connell was eager to cut her short, and then proceeded to attack President Trump personally: he couldn’t resist a little smear in case there were any doubts where he stood, after all that balance. No, Paddy, there are never any doubts where you stand!

    One gets the impression BBC fact-checkers have taken the morning off

    Bob Geldoff goes straight to air warning the music industry will be “decimated” by a “Hard Brexit”

    Trump’s Supreme Court pick is “narrowly confirmed after weeks of sexual assault allegations”

    On the basis that anti-Brexit headline number one is absolute de rigueur for the BBC daily Project Fear sequel ‘the final countdown’ in this case one hardly need unpack their will/could/might protocol.

    As for the headline in the US story let’s simply acknowledge two facts which essentially gut the BBC phrasing for the story:

    Firstly, the even balance between Republicans and Democrats on the Senate and the bitter partisan nature of votes for new appointees guaranteed a near 51:49 split – and so it was – Not news.

    There were not ‘weeks’ of allegations. Kavanaugh was bitterly opposed by the Dems for weeks of hearings but they quietly sat on the flimsy Ford allegation (she had asked for anonymity) then they leaked her name for political advantage (and likely helped shape her story) going public at the last moment prior to final voting so as to delay the process for a couple of weeks more. Only then did a couple of even less plausible me-too’ers come out of the woodwork.

    So BBC script editors have fudged the facts to back their anti-Trump agenda – who would have guessed?

The prospect of Somalia and its warlords beckons as Western societies break up and are reduced to power struggles, increasingly violent, between these groups. Thanks BBC.

    From @Craig : Of the 15 progs in The Brexit Collection only was balanced
    http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-brexit-collection.html

    From DAVID KEIGHLEY : There was heavy bias towards the Remain side in BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat,
    The key points include that audiences were 1.5 times more likely to hear Remain opinions and speakers, alleged ‘fact checking’ by the programme which favoured the Remain side, and feature reports that were heavily skewed towards Remain arguments, especially with regard to immigration.

    Eh? This survey by News-watch, based on Brexit: A Guide for the Perplexed, a series of programmes on Radio 4 presented by Chris Morris of the BBC ‘Reality Check’ unit, found that 75 per cent of the main speakers were against Brexit, and those in favour had just seven per cent of the programme time.

    “Simpson’s claim that the BBC is giving viewers and listeners a ‘range of opinions’ on topic after topic – from climate alarmism, to President Trump and Brexit and dozens more – is thus moonshine”

    The man behind the triumphant 2012 London Olympic opening ceremony laughed off suggestions he would work on the festival, and insisted he was “a European first”.

    Mr Boyle has previously voiced his anger at the referendum result, claiming: “We had our hearts broken with Brexit, because we wanted to stay in the EU.”
