Start the Week Open Thread 5 November 2018

The Far Left BBC staff are in full anti Trump cry as the American Midterms arrive . They never seem to have been so important and never has so much bias been directed at a President – non politician – by so many. The main stream media will be desperate to write the epitaph for what they call ‘populism ‘ but others would call democracy . I really hope they are unable to do that but let’s see….

    They actually mentioned this morning that most of the members of the migrant caravan were male! Perhaps our constant rage at their dishonesty has had an effect.

      The beeb said today on R4 “Wimmin-Sour” that the caravan story was fake news invented for purposes of the election. Well the BBc did or one of their placed guests complaining about the republican campaign tactics.

      I don’t know what to believe any more – if only there was a impartial and independent news provider we could trust. They could not be funded by commercial activity or political interests of course – perhaps a small levy on the population as a whole would provide sufficient funds to deliver high quality, impartial and independent broadcasting that was representative, balanced and could be trusted….

      Guy Fawkes day. They really should have held the US midterms today. Then the BBC could have bought a truck load of fireworks to celebrate a prospective increase in power for the Democratics – then tried to flog them if the reverse happened.

      The best moment, for me, when Trump won in 2016, was when the bewildered and devastated Clinton and company were sitting with a whole bunch of fireworks they’d never set off and Trump offered to buy them off them at ten cents to the dollar!

    You’re up early Fedup2!

    I recall being excited and enthusiastic when Cameron won – when was it, 2010? – as the BBC plunged into anger and bitterness. Then I slowly became disillusioned with him for numerous reasons, but I doubt the BBC ever changed what there is of its collective mind and started to appreciate him.

    The US struggle seems to be no less than a struggle for the survival of all that is good, positive, sane, decent and productive about Western society. If the radical, treacherous, corrupt Democrats win, as they might well do since they have the backing of the US mainstream propagandists and UK propagandists like the BBC cheering them on from the sidelines, then we’ll see the speeding up of the decline in Western society.

    We can only hope that sanity prevails.

      I believe that Pres Trump is our last chance at halting the demise of the West to socialism/communism, and finally Sharia. He is like Obiwan Kenobe, our last hope, or Aragon in “Lord of the Rings”.

      The socialists/communists, and the “Mordor” from the East, know it, and so does Pres Donald Trump.

    “”Donald Trump’s White House has been hit by one scandal after another.””

    “”Up to now, leading Democrats have avoided openly talking about removing President Trump or forcing him to resign.””

    “”But if this were to happen, a majority of members of the House of Representatives would have to vote for impeachment.””

      Dover Sentry,

      The BBC is getting targets of its indoctrination all mixed up. I’m sure they intended that article for CBBC, since it appears to be written for young children.

      And what’s this:

      Up to now, leading Democrats have avoided openly talking about removing President Trump or forcing him to resign.

      I guess the BBC must have been asleep while senior Democrats like Maxine Waters were yelling hysterically about impeaching Trump.

      The noise the left-wing media has been making as it fantasises about his impeachment has led vast swathes of the uninformed left to believe he’s actually done something that warrants it.

      And of course the BBC itself has been indulging in endless fantasies about his impeachment.

    ‘Teen called Lesbian for playing football.’

    This is one of the ‘news’ stories on their app. Someone was called a name somewhere – hold the front page! Why must they subject us to this SJW garbage all the time? A budget of billions yet they choose to report on a child being called names by another child.

    Will they ever accept that unequal outcomes are due to differences in interest between groups, sometimes with a biological basis like with gender? Indians go into medicine; proportionately more black men play football professionally than any group; men work in construction; most receptionists are women. SO WHAT? I thought diversity was our strength? They have defined equality as sameness when it should mean the Biblical sense of everyone being part of the same mutually loving family. My wife’s patently superior organisational skills are no source of ‘oppression’ but a complement to my more erratic ways; you do not get harmony if everyone plays the same note.

    And of course women will never like football a millionth as much as men do. It is something than men have and women on the whole cannot appreciate and merely tolerate. How many arguments have I had with women about playing Fifa etc? I remember a date during a World Cup match which went disastrously as I could not take my eyes off the game. And obviously no girl had ever said after a drink: “Fancy a kickaround? Bet I can nutmeg you.” That would just be extremely weird.

    The ‘equalities’ industry now is no longer about equal opportunities but about forcing equal outcomes in spite of the most overwhelming evidence that they are a terrible, tyrannical idea. Girls like football as much as boys, are you seriously trying to get us to swallow that? They are at war with reality.

        Having read the article I don’t see where they actually DO say that. Could the BBC be putting words in people’s mouths with another misleading headline? Perish the thought.

        But assuming they did. It doesn’t seem to me that democracy is a matter of legality, as governments can pass whatever laws they wish. It’s a matter of fact, circumstance and opinion, about which these people are no more qualified than you or I to rule upon. If sufficient people feel it isn’t democracy, it doesn’t matter whether these “experts” have QC or ABC after their names.

          Even Parliament’s own web site makes this admission.

          “Developments affecting Parliamentary sovereignty
          Over the years, Parliament has passed laws that limit the application of parliamentary sovereignty. These laws reflect political developments both within and outside the UK.

          They include:

          The devolution of power to bodies like the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly.
          The Human Rights Act 1998.
          The UK’s entry to the European Union in 1973.
          The decision to establish a UK Supreme Court in 2009, which ends the House of Lords function as the UK’s final court of appeal.
          These developments do not fundamentally undermine the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, since, in theory at least, Parliament could repeal any of the laws implementing these changes.”
          ” in theory at least” are the operative words.
          Legal activism is all about implemennting certain “progressive ideas” in law so that they have constitutional force or are underpinned by international treaty. Isn’t that one of the main reasons to leave the EU?

If we are unable to vote for them (due to their own choices) then we should not be subject to their propaganda. SNP PPBs, speeches, news etc. should be restricted to Scotland only.

    So where does this place anti extremist Savid Javid, Home \ Secretary who cannot be arsed to provide security for one of Britain’s most prestigious debating venues? It is not as if he was unaware of their well advertised plans to create a breach of the peace and disrupt a legitimate meeting.

      The BBC can be remarkably insular, ‘Europe’ doesn’t exist as far as normal news reporting is concerned and now, ‘because of Brexit’, they assume that only British companies might have problems. They also assume that all the well-known names are British, how insular and xenophobic is that?

    That public service remit

    Something occurred to me this morning as I watched the annual BBC TV cautionary interview with a fire officer, a burns victim and an emergency medic, reminding us of the dangers of fireworks. We’ve all heard auntie tut-tutting for years that organised public displays are safest and best – it’s in her nature to somewhat patronisingly prefer us to desist from purely privately moderated behaviour. It’s for our own good. But there’s a new element that has crept in. It crept in somewhere between the point where John Noakes hung up his woolly jersey and when Blairite health and safety do-gooders required goggles to be compulsory for playing conkers. No longer content with passing on the sensible warnings the BBC now actively promotes restrictive legislation. This morning, for instance, we have BBC presenters asking “What legislation would you like to see?” Our fire prevention officer and doctor seem not exactly impressed with the BBC’s suggested step of cigarette packet-like shock photos to be emblazened on firework packaging. So I’m wondering where did the BBC come up with that notion? This seems to be a clear case of the BBC overstepping the mark from sensible public service advice into the role of active campaigning entity.

    How do you stop an investigation into a crime you’ve committed ?
    You can give a bung to the authorities .
    Sicily . South America . Nigeria ?
    No here in Blighty according to my latest threatogram from BBC Licensing . I have till November 12 to stump up or face the prospect of being investigated . I could compound the issue by writing underneath the line they ask me not to do .
    Now here’s the rub . Why don’t they want me to write below the line at the bottom of a letter they send to me ? It contains an eleven digit number which is also printed on the right side of their threatogram under the title Investigation number ; except that the printed on the right hand side is one digit missing , the last ! Now which is the most important number allocated , is it the Investigation number , or the number below the line they ask you not to write in ? I also note that over the years I’m given the same Investigation number , even as they say they can open an investigation , have opened an investigation , and then say they have no option to finalise an investigation ( but then never say if it is finalised and if they’re happy about it ) .
    I do imagine if their wet dreams came to fruition and they had a search warrant , were turfing out everything in my domicile and a lackey came across all their correspondence I stupidly kept .
    ” Enforcement Manager , I’ve found our letters to him and he’s scribbled under the line we’ve asked not to write below “!
    ” Well done , Pontificate , that’s damming evidence we need ” .
    Then me ;” I’ve done it so many time I’ll have to ask you to take a hundred scribbles into consideration ” .
    Best is to shred the letters now , before Beeb Brother sees I let a child crayon over those black boxes .
    Should I send a letter of apology to Al Beeb , although asking within it that they don’t colour in the top right hand corner where I’m going to put an eleven digit number ?

    BBC news just reported that anyone from a foreign country can now join the British Army even if they’ve never lived here.
    Does that sound like a good idea? Not only are we letting our enemies walk straight in but we are even arming them and enabling them to literally stab us (or shoot us) in the back!

      If the army keeps recruiting from the white working class they will have trouble when troops are ordered to fire on the indiginous population. Their solution is to recruit foreigners.

      There wouldn’t have been a problem if we’d voted to stay in the EU, as then they could have brought in units from other provinces.

      Yet another problem for the Establishment caused by Brexit.

    Sadiq Khan on R5 earlier talking about tackling London knife crime being a 10 year project and that “we’ve got to give young people constructive things to do, investing in youth centres, youth workers, after-school clubs.”

    Peston last week suggesting to Sajid Javid that the Muslim rapists might have felt excluded from British society.

    The fate of Asia Bibi still precarious despite a legal acquittal. (Seven years ago the governor of Punjab was assassinated by his bodyguard, a member of the Counter-Terrorist Elite Police. He had lobbied for Bibi’s pardon and campaigned to repeal Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, but the killer’s motive was that questioning the country’s blasphemy laws constituted blasphemy itself. This Python-esque scenario of heresy and violent retribution would be almost funny if wasn’t a) so tragic, and b) taking root in the UK.)

    Meanwhile our esteemed leaders are wafting around hoping to install a few more ping pong tables or set up an interfaith bingo night. Clueless on crime, clueless on the causes of crime and utterly incapable when it comes to joining dots.

    Toady Watch

    Humph interviewed the Tory Crime minister who truly sounded like she didn’t have a clue .

    Before I rant on I confess – I have two degrees in law and criminology . Now criminology is a lefty subject all aimed at the baddy – which the lefty includes the police .
    So being of the Right I had to adapt .

    Do more coppers cut crime ? Not necessarily – internal social control plays a part – ie if you try a smash and grab will some one stop you or just do a selfie ?

    Is there a chance of arrest , charge , prosecution , conviction, nasty sentence … ? ( I know spontaneous crime doesn’t go through this – )

    Will I get a hard time inside ? Only from other prisoners.

    Anyway the Tory Party of Law and Order Lady floundered over 1 killing in 3 days in Londonistan . Drugs , blah , gangs blah , Hatey crime , nothing about parenting , social control , an ineffective police force using decent powers.

    At one stage I thought she was on the verge of saying murder investigations will get special priority if hate is involved but Humph guided her only firmer gound .

    You might notice quite a few killings take place after school and during school holidays – which might be a bit of a clue . Because the British State has gone easy on the disciple of kids they feel they cannot be touched – which is true -until the blade goes in .

    Al beeb could do a public service by investigating this gently – but they do a 27 ego piece with a diverse beeboid and get nowhere. And if you’re reading beeboids – an idea for a series to take to your many many managers ….

        This was the chap- head of the German MI5- who had to quit because he attested that there had been no ‘right wing’ hunting down of migrants after the Chemnitz murder of a German by migrants, and that the MSM, in collusion with the socialist SPD, had concocted this story. He refers to it as ‘fake news’ (Falschinformationen).

    Two Brits were invited onto TWatO (BBC R4 today) to opine on divisiveness in politics and society in the USA and the UK with the B-word being mentioned as a matter of course.

    Both contributors were left to spout with the occasional prompt from Sarah. One or both mentioned FakeNews and sought to spotlight President Trump unfavourably.

    One, within a minute or two, then stated there had been mass shootings in the USA every day last week.

    Really?

    No reports on the BBC R4 News.

    Or was that an example from the contributor via the BBC of the very FakeNews that she had been talking about earlier?

    PS: Just done a quick bit of research. Apparently a ‘mass shooting’ in the USA is defined as 4 or more, so in reality it can comprise as few as the assailant, one or more police officers and maybe no other or one or two or three members of the public being wounded and/or killed. Yes, the total is one a day, to date, minus one.

    The BBC have not reported this in my hearing on R4. Is their anxiousness to denigrate President Trump leading them to forsake their primary duties as a newscaster and source of information & education?

      These so-called “mass shootings” are usually criminals shooting other criminals in a dispute over turf or drugs. They are almost always black or Hispanic, and do not involve legally owned firearms.

      But why let the truth get in the way of a story? Good job the BBC isn’t “fake news”.

    For a little country with a population the size of 10 London boroughs he has plenty of front and if he does extract cash he must be made to pay a reprisal price when there aren’t any ReichEU flags in Blighty any more –

    It is perhaps fatigue or an addled mind… but I have noticed some bBC commentary recently that appears to begin to attempt to show or infer nay hint at some balance on Brexit…. it could be that they sense there will be no chance of a second referendum and don’t what to be on the wrong side of that or perhaps a sense that people are become less afraid to admit to voting for brexit and want to get on with it. I have noticed in “twitter” that often Guardian readership, middle left and “right on” Londoner types are being closed down by those on the right and those on the left. The peoples march was tagged a march for torys and liberal middle classes and not representative of the nation. Peoples vote are losing their voice as they have proven they don’t have a common ground politically. Labour have no interest and Torys are committed to brexit (however soft) and no second referendum.

    Anyway.. amongst the musing and wittering I found a strong left wing voice vehemently complaining about BBC right wing bias – really genuinely. I am looking for the right wing bias BBC site so I may sign up as a double agent….

    “London violent crime could take ‘a generation’ to solve”

    “Mayor Sadiq Khan told the BBC’s Today programme to “really make significant progress can take up to 10 years””

    Takes the pressure of actually doing something off a little doesn’t it?
    What could be done? employing police officers who can’t be man handled out of their own patrol vehicles might be a start. How about profiling the stabbers and targeting those that fit the profile for increased police attention/stop and search? Photofit of suspects released? Dream on.

      It might take a generation ( 14 years ) to retrain the police to enforce laws again and not be 9 – 5 cohesion officers or Hatey crime recorders .

      Bringing stop and search without reason might help as would curfews in kids in high crime areas but that would cost a lot . Our diverse cultures who live on the street would also object of course .

      Meanwhile kids remain dead and families remain in grief .

      I think this is the way some bits of Britain are going to be for an unforseeable amount of time . The cost of a liberal ‘ screw you – rights’ society . And guns haven’t quite become common currency yet .
