The Far Left BBC has been silent on the poisonous UN Treaty on Migrants which the outgoing PM will sign on our behalf this week. It is a horror and shows how far the UN has become a disfunctional lefty cancer in need to urgent reform .
When the next government – of whatever type incorporates the treaty into UK law people will wonder what the hell is going on – bet the BBC won’t tell them .
There is a petition on the government website and I am sure some friend will put up the link in
The London Evening Standard and, I guess also the BBC, made much of the fact that ‘the pound soared after the Government lost the three votes in the House’ and the ECJ issued its preliminary view about ‘stopping Brexit’. It was mentioned in the 10.45pm TWT end-of-programme news round up and in the 11pm News but I do not know what was said in the 6pm News or earlier during TWT.
In reality, the gains made were tiny and the sort of thing seen on any trading day. They could have been due to a variety of factors and were certainly not of the order of 3 cents on the Dollar or 5 cents on the Euro.

Anyone agree Sackur has his bias turned up to 11?
It is real throwing-things-at-the-TV stuff. Gosh, that Sacker is obnoxious.

It’s called blackfishing, so the BBC tell us. The story is about women pretending to be black, or rather being accused of pretending to be black so they can benefit in some way.
One of the women has a fat arse which, I understand, is a valued asset to black women.
But as the BBC are constantly reminding us of the oppression suffered by black people in our white privileged society how is it beneficial to pretend to be black?

No, obese.
That girl needs to see her GP and the practice Nurse to work out a diet. She could face all sorts of problems before she hits the age of 40 – 45 years.
I assume it’s something of an optical illusion – a combination of her posing to emphasise her rear, plus the ‘fish eye effect’ of a lot of mobile phone cameras (which is well known to the ‘selfy generation’).
Personally, I’d run a mile, but if someone, somewhere finds it attractive, then good for them… I guess… ‘Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree…’
Yep, the article also mentions the “Kardashian” affect, see it in her hairstyle and behind. There is that too. That drug lord “Chapo’s” wife had pictures taken of herself with Kardashian (car trash-ian) style as well.

Trevor Nunn film about Melita Norwood
Q & A from Sept
BBC1 News at 19.00
The funeral of President Bush was reported by Jon Sopel. He did not flinch from throwing digs at Trump. Here’s what he said during the report on the Church Service:
“- a divided nation”
“Trump – so disdainful of the Bush dynasty”
“This a day of unity – warmth it wasn’t – the chilly body language – chilly as the day outside”. (a reference to Trump shaking hands with Obama and his wife).
“As President – Bush said he wanted a gentler, kinder nation – something not at the forefront in 2018.”
So, Sopel uses any event possible to smear Trump. And the BBC pay his wages with our money.
Dover Sentry,
Evidently Sopel is too intent on pumping out his petty propaganda to be concerned with facts. Even though there was much animosity during the primaries between Jeb Bush and Trump, George W. Bush and wife Barbara received Trump and wife Melania graciously as they arrived to pay their respects to the family and the warmth was evidently reciprocated.
Here’s the evidence which shows that Sopel is either lying or willfully ignorant of facts that don’t suit his bias.
ITV News just now was no better. The atmosphere was friendly amongst the former Presidents until Trump turned up, apparently. We were then shown a picture of them sitting in stony silence looking at the order of service.
Knowing how the media operates, I’d imagine that was judicious editing by using a shot during the service.
I must have imagined the venom and ridicule that I wrongly remember being directed towards the Presidents Bush, because apparently they were great statesmen from a golden age.
Roland Deschain,
Yes the fake workers for the fake media know how to edit to suit their fake narrative.
Here’s a clip of Donald and Melania arriving to sit next to Barack and Michelle.
It’s not exactly a reunion of old friends, but it’s cordial. Donald ushers Melania forward to greet them first, probably calculating it would be awkward for him and Obama to sit right next to each other.
The Clintons, on the other side of the Obamas, greet Melania. Bill, at least, has the grace to smile. He appears to glance towards Donald, but Hillary looks straight ahead.
For fake news workers to construct a stony silence out of all that is yet more evidence as to why they cannot be trusted.
It can’t have been too comfortable really, but funerals rarely are, and it makes me think of those family events where you have a divorced couple, and their new partners/families, having to be civil and sit together.
As a complete outsider, with no particular axe to grind, Trump, and his missus, actually strike me as handling this sort of situation very well. Obama and Slick Willy are too oily to let something like political differences get in the way of their carefully groomed public images. It’s Mrs Clinton who you really need to watch, with her wild, rolling eyes and quivering lips (she strikes me as a ticking timebomb at the best of times to be honest).
Sopel has never recovered from Trump calling him out in public, and really needs sectioning and a straight jacket, it’d be interesting to see his reaction if you casually dropped the word ‘Trump’ into a random conversation.
Big
It’s tricky assessing this really. The bush family are swamp dwellers as are the clintons and Obama . So President Trump has to pretend to have some regard for them . As head of state he was duty bound to put on a show for Bush senior but hopefully the ex president s can go back to their holes .
I’m concerned the mrs Obama might run in 2020. I don’t think she’d win but the BBC would bleed delight …..
I really hope you’re wrong about Mrs Obama running, Fed, but it’s undeniably feasible, and you’re right the BBC would be unbearable (or, even more unbearable, than usual).
Personally, I’ve got nothing against the idea of a black, female POTUS, just don’t think she’s the right candidate, or would be nominated/voted in for the right reasons. None of which the BBC would care about, just so long as it was a big, black, female behind sat in that chair.
“big, black, female” AND Marxist.

Comrade Robinson runs a contrived interview with 8 uk citizens over brexit . 4 on each side . I don’t think he got what was expected .
The BBC has also accepted that the legal advice published yesterday was ‘ full ‘ when it was only about NI and not the overall sell out .
Fedup2,
I tried to listen but was told Sorry, this episode is not currently available.
I suppose they haven’t yet had time to do the podcast.
I’ll make sure to catch it when it comes online because a propagandist from the BBC spending a full ten minutes giving Brexiters their say is so unusual it must surely be of historic importance.
Edit:
I might even have to withdraw my nomination of Robinson as Chief Biased BBC Personality.
Truetoo,
I wouldn’t both – essentially 4 remainers remain and 4 brexiters leave . Labour didn’t get a mention but comrade Robinson wants to keep his overblown job .
Truetoo – I’ve done a draft of the personality awards which I want to publish soon in the spirit of the season . Draft views welcome …
Move the slider to 1:34 to here Robinson’s interview…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0001fv0
Thanks Cassandra. Good to know how to listen again without having to wait for the podcast.
Fedup2,
I listened and you are right. It was too speedy and jumbled to make much sense of it.
Still strikes me as really unusual to have a 50-50 split between Leave and Remain on the BBC of all places.
In particular, where are the details of the legal opinion given on: control over laws, ECJ jurisdiction and the incompatibility of the Agreement with the repeal of the 1972 Act?
As Gerard Batten has also said the repeal the European Communities Act (1972) should have been the first step to leaving.
The EU via Starmer et al. will use every dirty trick to avoid that.
In all the huff and puff this key issue has been ignored . Mr cash is right but no one seems to notice or support him .
Tim Martin was on radio Newcastle this morning.
I was looking forward to hearing him rubbish the remainer claims and push the Brexit side.
I forgot that it was the bbc.
Each ‘question’ by the interviewer consisted of about 15-20 negative to Brexit statements (bus, jobs etc) and then Tim was allowed a one sentence answer (then edited to stop?) so the bbc gets to say a whole lot of their anti Brexit propaganda and let Tim have a small say, about 15-20% of the interview.
Later, a pro remainer gets just the opposite treatment being allowed to say anything (Brexit lies, bus, electoral fraud and the usual rubbish)
So, business as usual.
Why doesn’t someone, on live bbc, ask them why they have made NO positive programs about Brexit and why EVERY political program is heavily biased to the remainers such as question time panels being invariably 4 remainers to 1 leaver each week (unless it’s 2 leavers where one is like Paul Mason who says he is a leaver yet wants everything to stay as it is)
Another excellent post and question, EG. How come B-BBCers can do the work but the BBC cannot? I think we should have £3.5bn and the BBC can then get by on a subby from the site owners here.
As a resident of that part of the world I can say with a huge level of surety that Tim Martin has done far more for the citizens of North East England than Radio Newcastle ever has.
TOADYLLY Delightful.
The Humph given the complete run-around in circles by the Conservative PM with him left burbling away in the centre of them. Sweet revenge for The Humph’s sickeningly stupid & futile interview of Ian Duncan-Smith or Michael Howard (cannot remember which) on the morning after they took leadership of the Conservative Party in opposition.
Well done, PM! Work of an autist or artist or both.
Now, PM, if you would be so kind as to start tugging at the tablecloth so that that £39bn falls back in your lap or handbag, we can prepare to tip-toe to the door to head out of the EU.
Ever heard of Amal Alamuddin? No me neither, but then she married George Clooney and has suddenly become a very important person.
She’s so important in fact that the United Nations has honoured her with the “Global Citizen of 2018” award.

She’s a bit of a big shot hoooman rights lawyer — a Lebanese-British barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, specialising in international law and human rights.
Take heed. She has international connections. I frequently warn my US Republican friends that the Clooneys could be their worst nightmare should he decide to run for POTUS. Forget Hillary, she is past. Michael Obama is not ready to run, but the Clooney’s have money and backers and could well give Donald a serious fight. Could even win.
Maybe she’s friends with that other big shot human rights lawyer – Cherie Blair.
Two woman who are so independent and believers in equality that they would never use their husband’s names to climb the slippery pole to fame and money.
You make a good point about the danger of the Clooney clan re: political arena. Once we start to see them being photographed with Soros it could become serious.
I didn’t particularly like the bloke from what I’d seen and heard previously but this gratuitous and shameful attack

Keep it up, BBC. You sure know how to lose friends and influence people.
The wrong way.
A special service was held on Tuesday at Westminster Abbey to highlight the plight of persecuted Christian minorities, particularly in the Middle East where many are forced to flee.
This has been reported by several news outlets – but not the BBC.
If it’s not reported by the BBC, then as far as 70% of the population who rely on the Ministry of Truth (aka the Brainwashing Britain Campaign) for their news are concerned, it hasn’t happened.
There was an interview with “leading economist, Vicky Price”, on the BBC News this morning. It was interesting to note the deference this prominent Remainer was given and the stark contrast the former jailbird was afforded when compared to our own Tommy Robinson.
Whenever Tommy is introduced we are always told his real name is…. and given a full list of his past misdemeanours and unsavoury associates. Vicky was treated like a queen!
No mention of her imprisonment for perverting the course of justice, no mention of her former husband, ex leading Liberal (and another jailbird) Chris Huhne, imprisoned for the same reasons. And no mention either of her current beau, Mr Dennis MacShane, yet ANOTHER jailbird! This geezer was Labour MP for Rotherham and diddled the tax payer out of nearly £13,000. Rather more importantly he was also MP during the years of mass rapings.
“I knew nothing” he claimed and yet when pushed some years later he confessed, “I’m a true Guardian reader, a liberal leftie, I suppose I didn’t want to push it too hard. I didn’t want to rock the multicultural boat.”
Clearly the honest and impartial BBC must have known all of this.
An oversight…
Jeff – I love passing the speed camera at the London end of the M11 which cost Hune his career and gave Vicky a record and a stretch in a HMP cat c health spar… priceless
Three extremists arrested who belong to a Nazi style outfit.
Not much information, but if charged and convicted they will join the vast army of far far right extremists from whom we are being protected by Savid Javid, and repeatedly mentioned in Parliament .
What bothers me is this additional charge.
‘ conspiracy to inspire racial or religious hatred.’
I am rather worried that people may be inspired to hate my new religion – the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I stress it is a religion of peace, although beer fountains are offered in the afterlife, which might upset some Welsh Teetotllers in the Chapels..

All hail the Flying Spagetti Monster .
The ReichEU court of Injustice is to rule on the reversibility of A50 on the 10th – the day before the sell out is voted on
Amazing how the learned judges can find the time to assess the initial finding and give judgement on such a huge issue .
The Tory’s seem to be preparing the ground to delay the vote .
Fed, the BBC really should be getting very cross and worked up about foreign interference in our democratic processes.
They do not seem at all bothered now.
I wonder why?
‘ conspiracy to inspire racial or religious hatred’
The worst (& most alarming) thing about this is how it will be applied in Orwellian fashion only to certain people the state disapproves of. They can wave the banner of so-called ‘equality’ all they like but we know it is all hypocritical hot air.
In all fairness, if we have a law which applies to everyone based on:
‘ conspiracy to inspire racial or religious hatred’ every mosk in the country should be shut down.
(mosk deliberately misspelled;)
Over 90% of imams in this country were born abroad.

The BBC obviously doesn’t want UK people “getting ideas” today.
Elsewhere I took some screenshots of the BBC web landing page earlier today wrt Gilet Jaunes and the French government retreat on Carbon Taxes.
North America IP address (c/w Gilet Jaunes coverage)
UK Domestic IP address (no Gilet Jaunes / Carbon Tax)
some graphics (photos) failed to render but the structure and text is preserved.
I also discovered that some UK mobile data providers are blocking access to archive.org – The Wayback Machine
needless to say ….. that “Why you can trust the BBC” link looks a bit more ironic than usual today. Look at the difference in coverage emphasis too – many times the two audience IP range contents are near identical – but they’re a “bit busy” at the moment ….
In respect of gilets jaunes, we have far from finished yet – daily protests still sporadically occurring here, with the promise of further concerted action at the weekend.
Jupiter may well have back-pedalled a bit, but by no means far enough.

Today I had an email from my French dog food supplier, expressing ongoing serious problems in moving their products due to the blockades.
I suppose the BBC have covered the blockades at ports, and various towns in considerable depth. Er, er.
Far from finished, even if Macron has postponed his attempt to save the world for six months.

I expect the French economy will now grind to a halt. Apparently, if deliveries are held up by even two minutes, all companies which rely on “just in time” will go into liquidation. It looks like Citroen and Renault will be closing down soon.
The EU doing everything possible to stop us leaving. All the dirty tricks in the book and some even not yet in the book being used to prevent us leaving in March. Now a ruling on Article 50 to be pushed through before the Commons vote next week and you can bet 100% on the outcome. The EU are desperate to keep us in tow. I wonder what other tales of disaster, calamity and misfortune will be predicted and by whom, before next weeks crucial vote. May’s army are working night and day to come up with the means to get the vote through. It’s politics like I’ve never seen before, and it’s dirty and dangerous dealing. Unbelievable!!
What makes our “representatives” even more despicable is they are doing it without the slightest regard for the Country. All they care about is feathering personal nests and hanging onto power.
Dear Member of Parliament,
This year we have commemorated the 100th anniversary of the end of The Great War and the extension of suffereage to property-owning women over the age of thirty, strangely forgetting its extension to all men over the age of 21. The former group numbering around 8.5 million, bought at the cost of one life and the later numbering around 7.7 million, bought at the cost of 744,000 lives. Equality is a wonderful thing.
But what is the point of being able to vote if there is no-one to vote for? Such has been the case for the last forty years when it came to the issue of membership of the EEC/EU. However in 2016 our politicians gave us a chance to use our vote, they said that they would abide by our decision and so we voted to leave the EU.
Immediately parliament, the government and the civil service went to war against the people. Our prime minister set up a ‘Q’ department, a fake department that was supposed to be working out the arrangements to leave the EU. The reality was that she and the cabinet office were working against the people, behind the backs of her own cabinet.
The result, the so-called Withdrawl Agreement, a device to remove our right to leave the EU under Article 50 under the Treaty of Lisbon and to bind us to the rules of the EU indefinitely.
Clearly this Withdrawl Agreement in no way achieves a clean exit from the EU, indeed the very reverse, and it is consequently in contempt of the will of the people.
When we were ruled by Kings and Queens they asserted that they ruled by divine right, God himself had granted them authority. No such right belongs to our parliament. Their right to govern is gifted by the people and can be withdrawn by the people.
I understand that you believe that there should be a second referendum. What nonsense! What part of ‘leave’ did you not understand the first time? If you won’t follow the instruction of the people given by the first referendum why should we expect you to follow any instruction from the people in future?
Anyone who is a libertarian or democrat must surely vote down the Withdrawl Ageement AND work towards delivering a clean exit from the EU.
Remember the words of John F. Kennedy:
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”.
Yours etc.
Very well put, Jim. Well done.
Seconded. Thank you.

I wonder why the EU bureaucracy is so keen to keep us in? Do they like us, or does the £12 billion we pay in every year have something to do with it?

Was it LBJ who said he preferred a politician inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in?
Outside we can have ties to many other countries, especially the US, and having us outside would probably impede their attempt to create their super Eurabian state.

Can’t they leave anything alone?
To the strains of the lone boy soprano who opens the Nine Lessons and Carols at Kings College Chapel singing “Once in Royal Davids City”, we hear Lesley Garrett complaining that the King’s College Choir is sexist because it’s all male.
“One of bastions of male domination we have left.”
Martha Carney is at least trying to put the view that it’s a cherished tradition. But why have that item?
Reminds me of the fuss over Welsh male voice choirs a while ago.
For God’s sake, it’s all about the unique sound. By all means, lets have more choirs, mixed, female, whatever, lets have more wonderful choral music, let it drown out the sound of that horrible call to prayer thing. But don’t push out the boys and replace with girls if the numbers have to be fixed in a particular set up.
What next? All heavy metal bands have to be half female? The Spice Girls should have been half spicey boys?
Grow up and find something really important to campaign about.
Heaven knows what they’ll do to “God rest ye merry, Gentlemen…”
What an awful politics live show today.
Gobby Nicky Morgan talking over the one leaver on the panel so that you couldn’t hear anything he said, Lisa Nandy also talking over him.
Jo coburn completely ineffective, waiting until the leaver was finished (being talked over all the way through) and then saying “don’t talk over each other”
What an ignorant girl Morgan is blabbing on and denying the viewers the opportunity of hearing a viewpoint different to hers
Nandy thinks representing the third of her voters that voted to remain is more important than representing the two thirds that voted to leave.
Blackford saying he “respects the vote” and will carry it out “BUT” wants everything as it is now (otherwise known as staying in)
Coburn completely out of her depth and losing control of the panel whenever the one leaver was allowed to speak.
Or maybe that’s how she wanted it, her being another remainer.
I wonder if any body is collating the number of interviews the BBC runs where either there are no brexiters or they are in a minority .
I think , in the last year I can recall only two ocassions where it was 50/50 when of course – to reflect the democratic vote brexiters should always be the majority
I am also discounting that the ‘ host ‘ will be a remainer beeboid – with Brillo as the last bastion of objectivity – until he does an unfortunate twitter about cat wimmin at 0300 again .
As an aside – in preparation for the award of “ biased beeboid of 2018 ‘ I checked on the Cathy Newman Prof Petersen car crash . 13 million views on youtube – I’ll write that again 13 million
The arrogance of Nicky Morgan was astonishing. I hope millions were watching. The young man who dared to oppose her was given the full treatment: “How can you, a writer for a website, sitting here with three MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT… etc., etc.. ?” Thank heavens he got reinforcement from the wonderful Suella Braverman later on. As for the self-righteous ever-present Nandy and Blackford, I wish I could atomize them with a press of my remote control.
I got through listening to that drivel from Empty Suit Sopel by imagining that he had changed places with the late president.
Here it is. The UN call to prayer.
Comments could be going better…..
The future of BBC News. Or maybe as the level it is today.
NPC news : Judge rules Orange man’s Turkey pardon unconstitutional

Fantastic.
I am surprised Teressa May actually did switch the Downing Street Christmas Tree Lights on this evening. I thought she might have put it off until after Christmas.
I bet she was relieved the tree did not fall over !!!!
The lights aren’t perfect but they are the only lights we are going to get . It’s no use going back to the shop to ask for different lights because the drunk shop keeper says they are the only lights we will get .
We offered the shop keeper £39 billion anyway and we both agreed we’d act in good faith in the future . However the drunk shopkeeper had his fingers crossed when he said this .
Without tariffs the lights will be cheaper and brighter next Christmas
Yes but even though they are our lights on our tree, the EU controls the electrical supply so we will only be able to have them on at a brightness specified by Europe and for a period yet to be determined by them.
Any bulbs which fail and need to be replaced MUST be purchased from a German manufacturer and their fitting supervised by a French installation organization.
I posted last week that on the Horizon programme it had been clearly stated that renewables are at best tokenism . There is zero possibility of them ever being able to replace fossil fuels, only nuclear fusion can do that. Yet old Attenborough, on the very day that The Arc de Triomphe was surrounded by burning cars and covered in graffiti, claimed that we , the people , wanted shock measures to be taken to save the planet regardless of cost. Is there a better example of how out of touch the elite are from ordinary people?
I do think that human kind is poisoning the planet in many different ways and that population growth is out of control and will mightily exacerbate the problems within the next twenty or thirty years. The most sensible thing that the UN , BBC and the like of Attenborough could do would be to lobby hard for nuclear fusion research and to persuade The third worlders to drastically limit the size of their families.
How do you ‘poison the planet’ exactly?
Oh a few illustrations, waste plastic everywhere , including in the fish we eat,man made toxins in our water, widespread use of indiscriminate agricultural pesticides and fungicides, the inevitable leaks of radiation from a fission plant sometime in the next decades.
Ah, you mean pollution of some parts of the planet. ‘Poisoning’ is hysterical environmental-speak used to terrify and brainwash people, especially the young and impressionable (also see ‘tipping point’, ’18 months to save the earth’ etc etc).
After all that the earth has endured over billions of years, our puny efforts barely register and are mainly self-harming, though that’s not to say the issues you raise shouldn’t be taken seriously (which I do, albeit I have serious doubts about the radiation leaks you refer to).
Lighting the capital with burning cars is ecologically very efficient.
An interesting quip this evening on Radio 4 from Ken Clarke (yes I know h’s an arch remainer) concerning the competence of his own party.
Clarke says that May perhaps triggered the article 50 too early (blaming pressure from Brexiteers) which she did at the end of May. He then claimed that he believed that no one in government had a clue about what they wanted the outcome of negotiations to be.
Just pause and think about the enormity of that for a moment. Not only did this corrupt bunch of public school idlers fail to prepare for the prospect of a leave result, but in the following 9 months between the referendum in June and the article 50 in March they did absolutely nothing to prepare for negotiations !
This shouldn’t come as any surprise because following the signing of the Maastricht treaty by the idle comfortable incompetent bunch of exiles from rotten public schools, Douglas Hurd told the press with the immortal phrase ” well we’ve signed it now, we’d better read what’s in it” !
What a confession! That they signed the worst treaty imaginable without even realising what they were doing ! No wonder Tony BLiar won with a landslide soon afterwards.
The same is likely to happen with Mays absolute disaster of a government with the unloseable election lost, and to a landslide at that. We might even be living through the premiership of the worst PM ever taking the title from Lord North !
Thoughtful
Of course there would be no plan . The government and cabinet are remainers . The MPs are remainers .
The professional politician so far disconnected from their constituents that they cannot accept their views any more .
If we get out of the ReichEU in any form it will be an achievement in itself .
I think back to the referendum and I don’t remember much discussion about ‘an agreement ‘ – just ‘in’ or ‘out’. No cliff edge , no hard brexit , just leaving .
The other thing being thrown around is that if brexiters are defeated in their wish it will unleash ‘ forces ‘
Does anyone really think that. ? Those that care will just shrug and turn off those biased politics show and the news because any political discussion after will be invalid .
Plus of course remainer triumphalism will go on and on .
When you think about it, if we end up having a general election, the genuine Leave MPs such as Nadine Dorries, JRM, Peter Bone, John Redwood etc will certainly keep their seats.
A GE will hold no fear for leave MPs.
The threat to call a GE can only be used against remainer MPs who will be likely to lose.
Apparently a Lib Dem has resigned the whip because he is a remainer and his constituents voted “out “.
Personally in an honourable world any MPs belief of brexit which was different from the views of the constituency should have stood down or turned into an abstainer on such a fundamental issue .
There is never a politician shortage .( or journos )
@Fed
What is a ‘Lib Dem’?…..(lol)
A Remainer
They did not get many seats in parliament did they?

Apparently Dominic Grieve MP has been given the legion d honour by the French Govt . He speaks on French tv in French – according to twitter .
If this is so – this anti democratic swamp dweller should address the uk Parliament in French since that is his constituency .
Remainers eh?
Sammy Woodhouse welcomed in parliament
Al Beeb…………“A senior Tory MP says he would welcome a delay in next week’s Commons Brexit vote, if it would help address concerns over the controversial backstop.”
I sense that the ‘so called Tories’ are kicking it into the long grass to allow them time to set up a second referendum. Next , after two and a half years we will be offered a second referendum which will be to, A) Remain, or B) To leave on Mrs Chamberlain’s Brexit.
Which is such a rubbish choice that it could have been put together by the European Union itself.
Its an insult to the intelligence of the good people of Great Britain. We voted to leave, nothing more and nothing less.
Your only option is to drop your membership of the Tory Party and let them know you are joining UKIP .
Mrs Chamberlain has sold her soul to the Devil.
Or even (a) Remain, or (b) Stay in.
Mr Chamberlain went to Germany and came back with a piece of paper.
Mrs Chamberlain went to Europe and came back with a packet of crisps and a can of Fanta.
And I bet the crisps were stale smokey bacon and the Fanta was flat.
I think she stood by our British chips, beer and a fag. No fish ‘cos the French have those
New news – in a blow to democracy the debate between Corbyn and May will not take place on TV . Thats an hour saved

The Tom and Jerry show cancelled !!! Oh dear .
I was looking forward to that.
Perhaps Eurotrash will host it ?
For this relief much thanks.
Somebody above did a good job exposing the bias and personal anti-Trump opinions of Sopel during his report on George Bush’s funeral.
If there is one BBC mantra guaranteed to set me tearing my hair out it’s ‘nation divided’ as if Trump was elected then suddenly the U.S. split down the middle and the two sides were immediately and violently at each other’s throats over race, immigration, transgenderism, global warming and all the other sacred cow agendas that have been relentlessly and aggressively pursued by activists and the leftist establishment for years. Then Trump came along and at last gave a voice to those who had been shouted down and marginalised by the fascistic tactics of pressure groups and politicians with their relentless accusations of -ism this, -phobia that and red-neck the other
In other words, the country was already divided – all Trump did was bring it out into the open.
Like it or not, it’s called democracy, Mr Sopel.
How would any democracy work if there were no division? How would parliamentary government work? How would the courts function if there were no division between guilty and not guilty. The adversarial system runs right through our political culture. What do these people really want – a totalitarian government that tells them what to think?
“Diversity” is divisive.
Good post, johnnythefish,
Sopel and his fellow-travelers at the BBC would not recognize democracy if it punched them on the collective nose.
They don’t like it when the silenced majority get a voice.
JimS,
True. The BBC fake news crew would feel right at home in the role of state media in a third-world dictatorship. They wouldn’t have to do any real work, but simply spout the official line.
Al Beeb’s news from France is not looking good for the EU.
From a French newspaper’s view its looking even worse ……………………………..
“The yellow rebellion is threatening to engulf France – Macron must act” (The Local Fr.)
Could we see Marine Le Pen make a come back ?
There are rumours now coming from France that they may close Eiffle Tower next?
Are you on it Al Beeb?
Run out of minority disabilities to promote? No problem — you can trust the beeb to come up with the goods: “Why do people experience phantom rectum?”
(Don’t read it. I did, and was only reminded how glad I am I don’t pay a licence fee)

They call this $h!t news??
Lucy, I think after the TM you’re missing a colon.

I wonder if he will get a response. I doubt it.
You know this robot / android called Sophia revealed here earlier , now a citizen of Saudi Arabia .
If I built a robot clone of Anna Foghorn Soubry , that looked like her , spoke like her , thought like her – then hanged her , would I be guilty of anything ?

Were you to carry out your suggestion I can’t imagine you would be guilty of any sort of crime but I do think you might justifiably perceive the sound of white coat tails flapping in your vicinity.
Resist the understandable temptation.
You need to be a “Uni” graduate to be this stupid.
” […] as a way of capturing just how structurally unbalanced our democracies have become, seriously, why not? Why not six-year-olds?”
Ah, the reliably hate-filled Guardian. Surely we’re due another special UN Rapporteur to airdrop in, sink a few Jaegerbombs, watch Logan’s Run and pronounce us all dribbling idiots facing a toxic Donald Yaxley-Brexit abyss?
Are we about to witness the next French Revolution ?
Over to Al Beeb’s ” first for breaking news”.
Seems like theres 2 sides to this story. One had a bottle of water thrown over his face. ‘Compensated’ to the tune of £150,000 Family of the other lad – a mum and 2 little girls have received thousands of death threats, mostly from the Muslim British community. Calls to rape them, behead them. Family in ‘hiding’ the Police put them up in an Asian run BnB full of drug dealers.
“Family of the other lad – a mum and 2 little girls have received thousands of death threats, mostly from the Muslim British community. Calls to rape them, behead them.“
Raping and beheading? Some might say it’s what they do best.
All from the beloved religion of peace.
Are the police doing ANYTHING about all these racially motivated hate crimes? That video is simply horrifying. That money ought to be taken away, if Mohammed the lawyer has not already embezzled it.
R4 this morning..it’s Trump bashing again….Mueller will get Trump, Trump is stopping scientific thinking and research in the US (climate change linked but spread to everything. no evidence just opinion
)..allows democrat to say POTUS is intellectually and temperamental unfit to be in the White house – no challenge just allowed to say it. Now can you imagine if somebody said Obama was intellectually unfit – racist they would scream..
BBC at it’s best so early…

JA,
“….Mueller will get Trump,….”. From my monitoring of various channels on YouTube, it’s clearly the other way around! A space well worth keeping an eye upon. Seems the military Tribunals have been set up and are ready to see treason in most that eventually come before it. Rumoured: Clintons, Bush, Saint Obama etc.
Whatever will the BBC’s faithful audiences think when, in practice, quite the opposite takes place to their demented speculation? Will they apologise for, ‘…getting it totally wrong….’? No, but the dishonesty and missreporting will be even more small nails in the coffin.
It never amazes me, how little our far left Marxists State Broadcaster (aka, “The World’s Most Trusted”) conveys ‘news’ of what’s going on in the US. Apart from the one-sided, anti-Trump rhetoric of course.
“Tory rebels reject Brexit vote confidence ”
Notice that the EU flag is shown above the Union Jack. The sign of surrender . Al Beeb propaganda.
Has Al Beeb ever been impartial in this democratic decision to vote for freedom and independence?
Are they a treasonable broadcasting service? They do seem to be very fond of that blue duster.
Taff,
Today tells me that No.10 has dispatched 30 Minister’s around the country to promote Treason May’s outrageous idea of Brexit. I guess loathsome Leadsom will be one. Another one will be Liam Fox. Now Fox actually has my sympathy. Unlike Leadsom, he may have good reason to become a turncoat. He’s now spent years trying to drum up future business for the UK and in doing so, liaising with so-called, “British Business”. From one who has lived outside the UK trying to drum up interest from, “British Business” to consider innovative business ideas around the World – and failing miserably – I understand his failure. “British Business”? It cannot exist without a cosy, comfortable cartel of like-minded souls. For them, the EU is a match made in heaven so, why would they even want to consider World alternatives?
Ross Hawkins – a younger snow flake beeboid does a piece on the Norway version of Brexit by mentioning the Christmas Tree sent to Blighty by Norway every year .
He left out why Norway – god bless it – sents the tree . There is a plaque at the base of the tree in Trafalgar Square saying ‘ from the grateful people of Norway for the sacrifice of British lives made in world war 2 to restore freedom ‘
Mr Hawkins didn’t think putting this fact into his report about Europe . But every slight , every bias by omission increases the determination to get out of the ReichEU and then start dealing with some of the rotten institutions which have grown like a cancer in Britain .
Toady watch
The piece about Norway was followed by Stephen Kinnock . Now mr kinnock has a majority of 68% ? If I remember . But his constituency voted ‘ leave’ in the brexit referendum by 60% .
Mr Kinnocks ‘ morals – no doubt inherited from his parents – seems to think it’s ok to enthusiastically support remain despite the views of his voters .
But there again – he has financial interest as his parents each get an EU pension . It’s a pity we don’t hear from the dad who got him his job more as it would help brexiters a great deal .
Toady watch 2
Leslie Garret – a beeboid favourite wants all male choirs to have girls . Excellent idea . There should be no single gender institutions . The wimins footy teams should have men in them and visa versa . Same with prisons ( oops they already do that) .
On the upside a snowflake who is involved in providing the free Mediterranean minicab service tried to defend her activities . She was given an easy time but at least the Italians have put a stop to it .
I’d have no objection to male choirs having girls in their ranks! Trouble is, just at the moment, I can’t think of any music where the tenor, baritone or bass parts are taken by women! (I’m sure there are some pieces, but to date, they haven’t struck a chord)!
Now how about a falsetto in The Luton Girls Choir! That would turn a few heads, and not just because a few ‘tails’ have been turned already as well, rather painfully I guess…
They’ll be stopping selling children’s recorders next, as there are lots more below the bog-standard descant range!
So eventually, it’s all going to be ‘squeaky’ clean, and nobody will be bothered to listen! It’s bad enough when almost every slebby girl ‘singer’, has to start every line of whatever crap she’s screeching with a croaky grunt, before unleashing the unholy squeal which signifies the beginning of some sort of cat’s mating yowl! And that applies to most of the blokes as well, but they’re looking like prats most of the time anyway!
Just as an aside, Rowan Atkinson had a great sketch called ‘Tom, Dick and Harry’, where the deaf and dumb one could safely enjoy any recording by Bananarama!
FedUp & Scrob
Have you noticed R4 today is just full of the best of PC.
Girls in boy’s choirs
Non whites earn less at universities
Poor NGO’s
Overrun with Pro remain and anti Trump
It’s almost like Christmas (sorry Winter holiday) has come early to R4
James, you can’t call it ‘Winter’, because that implies that there is a ‘Loseter’, and that isn’t sclerotically correct! Nobody is allowed to win in today’s leftie diversity scrapheap…
My Christian upbringing is still allowing me to enjoy a great life, without being sneered at by some pullovered maniac, spouting bollocks.
I love Sclerotically… 🙂
Don’t you just hate it when they replace Christmas with Winter..to save the ‘non existent’ sensitivities of minorities
I don’t call Dwali – Lighty up day or Ramadan – Hungry holiday nor do the lefty anti Christians
“I can’t think of any music where the tenor, baritone or bass parts are taken by women!”
You really are a reactionary, aren’t you? Look, if a woman can have a penis and a white man can be black, I don’t see why a soprano can’t be a bass or a baritone if she wants.
It’s not widely known that Paul Robeson started off as a hairdresser called Carolyn. Didn’t do her any harm.
Of course, Anne, you can be whomsoever you like, as long it’s black – and a Ford!
And the Ford must have a clutch – not a grope, or a fumble, but a real grabber!
I’ll investigate the Paul Robeson transformation, because I thought he was a manicurist! Just goes to show that ‘There is a balm in Gilead’ was really a cry for help!
Lesley Garrett has always been known for her big voice – but I don’t mean her operatic one.
Quite talented, obviously, but never a first rater.
Wasn’t she in Eastenders – or was it Table-enders…
I’ve heard a couple of radio ads lately that mention “the clues in the name”
I’d say this applies in the case of “all male choir”
What next all white black Godspel choirs?
his mum dad sister wife and himself all have EU self interests
anyone speaking in the brexit debate should have their conflicts of interest read out before they are allowed to speak
sacrifice of British lives made in world war 2 to restore freedom ‘
The freedom she is about to give away (well ours anyway).
Do you notice how the practical advantages of a full brexit are never explained by the BBC – clear bias by the BBC and the rest.
If we drop tariffs we could have an economic EUcitizen tourist boom like the old booze cruises with foreigners coming to Blighty to buy cheaper goods – assuming border and customs controls of course . We could get real duty free back too .
Charles Moore calls out yet another biased BBC QT panel
I would expect nothing more from the biased bbc.
If I remember the awful QT has had only one panel since the referendum reflecting the voting majority – disgrace
Well done mister Moore for cutting through traitor Dimblebys predictable disruption technique.
So what happened Dave? Why are you not extremely vocal in your support of “The British People’s Choice” that you so rightly allowed to be voiced? As the late Terry-Thomas would have put it – “Your an absolute stinker of the first order Cameron.”
Personally, I wouldn’t put it quite that way but, given website rules, I think it rather says it all.
Actually there were five remainers if you count Dimbelby
The lefty luv in that is the Oscars hired a black chap to ‘ host’ it in order to give whitee a warm feeling .
Unfortunately it comes to pass that said black chap has internet words he wrote saying not nice thing about homosexuals . So he resigns . My money is on lenard Henry to take the job – or that black sec offender bloke comedian bloke if they’ll give him bail .
Switch on BBC news….it’s UKIP resignations and ‘the Far Right’ Tommy Robinson. Can the BBC explain why Robinson is ‘Far Right’? Is it because he opposes Islamists and the extremes of the Islamic religion…such as killing gays, adulterers and apostates, enslaving women and using them for sex and prostitution, the commandment to fight the unbelievers until Isam rules supreme, the never ending violence to make Islam dominant from within Muslim communities in every country they live in…is that why he is ‘Far Right’?
It’s a shame Robinson isn’t a Muslim who adheres to such a religion as the BBC will role out the red carpet and give you platform to promote and propagandize your ‘Islamo-Fascist’ religion whilst attacking Britishness.
Welcome to TEZ Talks
TEZ Talks A thoughtful satire on society’s attitudes to Islam by comedian Tez Ilyas.
1. Integration
Breakthrough comedian Tez Ilyas presents a show for everyone interested in – or interested in becoming – a British Muslim.
Show more
2. Community
It seems from the news that all Muslims belong to the ‘Muslim Community’, but what is this mysterious organisation? Who runs it? What does it do? Tez investigates.
3. Values
What are British values? Who decides them? And does Benidorm hold the answer? Tez explains all.
4. Tez Commandments
Tez rounds up all his remaining advice on being a British Muslim in a handy cut-out-and-keep guide. From instruction on confidence building to advice on limb replacement.
6. Are youse Muslim and that?
In this episode Tez talks about lack of Asian role models in TV and film and he discusses his feelings about being a role model himself.
7. Once you go Asian…
In this episode Tez talks about the assumptions people have about Muslims, especially him and his love life.
8. Made in Britain
Comedian Tez Ilyas presents a celebration of British-Muslim life. In this final episode, Tez talks about what it is like being both Muslim and British at the same time.
Who is really the extremist, who is really Far Right….Tommy Robinson or the BBC that promotes a religion that is extreme by its very nature and demonises and suppresses anyone who raises concerns about that ideology?
pug, Gerard Batten has succeeded in breaking UKIP through his extremely unwise, politically inept and very badly timed decision.
UKIP is now finished.
Yes and people should be somewhat concerned as it proves a point…that anyone who raises their head above the parapet and criticises Islam is going to face a full onslaught of useless idiots who appease the Islamists, they will be denounced as racists and turned into pariahs with many losing their jobs for having such views about Islam as well as being outcasts and made into ‘untouchables’, as in ‘tainted’, so that no-one will dare to be seen associating with them in case they get labelled as Nazis as well.
Still, in good company as the BBC banned Churchill from the airwaves in the 30’s when he criticised Herr Hitler and the Nazis. Wonder what it will take before people wake up as they had to in 1939?
Just remember what is going on in France and that the departing Interior Minister, Gérard Collomb, said France would have to be reconquered from the Islamists…
‘“The situation is very difficult and the phrase ‘Reconquering the Republic” is apt because in these districts it’s the law of the strongest that reigns, that of the drug dealers and radical Islamists, which has supplanted the Republic”….“You always have that risk…it’s not a fantasy, even if I don’t like using the term ‘civil war’.”
pug, the rise of a segment of Islam in the UK in crime & terrorism is a very different issue and Batten was extremely foolish to confuse and conflate it with the critical process – and at a critical time – of the UK leaving the EU.
Not sure my post was about the rights and wrongs of UKIP’s decision to tackle Islam it was about Robinson being labelled Far Right. But as we’re on the subject if UKIP is to oppose subjugation under the EU empire then why not also subjugation under Islamic supremacists? The point is UK independence…not just from the EU but from any outside alien regime that wants to rule over Britain….if they were anti-Putinism or anti-Nazi I’m sure the BBC would be delighted.
Pug, I’m sensing a faintly disguised cover for the filth of islam in these pages lately.
If anyone, especially Batten, waits for the perfectly timed opportunity to expose the savage barbarity of the islamic ideology, he’d never get his message out there.
Brexit may yet be thwarted by the establishment, but nobody should ignore the threat of islam in any civilised society.
Farridge and his handlers thought they had protected islam from attack by UKIP when they conspired against AMW to get that wanker Henry Bolton elected leader. That turned out well didnt it.
Now Farridge still thinks he is in charge. Well he can piss off ( is ‘piss’ allowed?)
Farridge got the NEC to delay considering Ribinsons admission under the rules until March. By which time he had planned to get his nose back into UKIP and push Batten out.
Well his putsch has failed, and his cohorts are like rats jumping ship. Unprincipled arseholes. If anyone is destroying UKIP its Farridge.
There.
Dysgwr_Cymraeg
I have a horrid fear that by taking on Islam Batten may have contributed to the death of UKIP, and my fears extend to the possible outcome of the weekend demo.
But Batten is still right in doing so, and we will have to see if UKIP will rise or be taken over by another movement.
What Batten’s critics do not realise is that the battle with the EU is one and the same as the battle against an Islamic takeover, as that is precisely where the EU is deliberately heading.
Indeed GWF Mad Merkel has contributed to the influx of Moslems into the EU with her crazy ideas about wanting the hordes to invade us, thats not to say that it wasnt bad enough already before her moment of madness.
So, when you add in the stupidity of their free movement and no borders ot really is a recipe for disaster. Therefore yes, both issues are interdependent.
Of we dont get out of the madhouse our problems will multiply exponentially vis a vis islam.
The idiots on the HOC appear to be cooking up a legal definition for Islamophobia, god help us. What the actual *^* gets into their heads?
Some say, to quote our bbc, some say that the media will simply crucify Batten for both being outspoken on islam and appointing Adolf Hitler ( sorry TR) as an advisor. Well, theres no more point in appeasing the media any more than there was in doing the same in 1939 to the actual Hitler. The media will continue to lie for their islamic masters whatever you do.
The issue has to be faced , and sooner rather than later.
Farridge is so yesterday, with his condemnation of ‘extreme islamists’ but never islam itself.
I should have added, by the way, my experiences at UKIP branch meetings just prior to Henry Bolton getting elected leader. In two branch areas, just one person in each spoke in favour of AMW, just one. The rest thought the sun was shining out of Bolton’s backside, including the branch chair who had listened enraptured by boltons rhetoric at party conference,
Fools.
There was then, a reluctance to discuss islam, and probably remains thus. If we lose such short sighted members well so be it.
I’ll repeat here what I have said previously on these pages.
An ex-chair of our branch, during a premeeting discussion of AMW declared:
” the only reason AMW hates moslems is because shes a lesbian”
That I’m adraid was the level of intellect.
If UKIP does not respond to popular dismay about Islamic behaviour, who else will? Not, apparently the mainstream political parties. If moderate sensible people stay silent, others will come to speak for them.
pug & D_C, the key issue for UKIP at present (or was) is Brexit. The problem of radical Islam isn’t going away, there’s plenty of time to deal with it and there is another method. Brexit should have been THE priority for UKIP.
Changing spiritual attitudes in the rest of the non-Islamic UK is what I have in mind. That will take time and is best accomplished after Brexit is complete, otherwise interference from Brussels would be highly likely to get in the way.
Up2,
‘For Britain’anybody?
G, no, it needs to be a fresh, ‘clean’, Party but there’s no time to do it now.
It is a supreme irony that the Labour Party should be ideally placed to step up, but they are fatally compromised by Corbyn’s inability to lead and also his unwillingness to rid his Parliamentary Party, at least his Front Bench, of Remainers.
We really needed UKIP to keep the Conservative and Labour Parties democratically honest and to deliver a full and proper leaving of the EU at this critical moment.
The PM is ‘the only game in town’ now. And she is going to have be a game lass in the mould of Thatcher and Churchill if she is truly a PM leading the UK away from the EU. She is taking a lot of ‘friendly fire’ (especially on here) as well as flak from the enemy. Head down, girl, dig those heels in and go, go, go.
“Head down, girl, dig those heels in and go, go, go.”
The sooner she goes the better.
When she goes to the lords we will be locked in as a slave nation to the EU.
One is tempted to swear but will not.
Question Time packed with Remoaners, and the big interview on Today?…also packed with Remoaners as is all too often the way these days as Brexiteers and Brexit are sidelined in discussions about what should happen next….you would never know we have the choice of actually implementing a real Brexit [not a ‘hard’ Brexit as the BBC deliberately maligns it with prejudiced, perjorative language]…the only choices the BBC offers are a second referendum or now, the latest wheeze, Norway.
Jo Johnson actually makes exactly the same complaints about May’s deal as Brexiteers, it is essentially complete surrender and vassalage to the EU whilst Stephen Kinnock is arguing for Norway + which is much the same thing with completely open borders. Though Johnson makes the same complaint as Brexiteers his solution is in fact to have more EU and to stay in the EU [by using a rigged referendum]…however what is never pointed out is that should be about face the rules will have changed and membership will come at a very heavy price putting us even more at the mercy of the EU.
The answer to keeping Islamists happy as they demand more Islam is to give them more Islam, the answer to Hitler demanding more land is to give him Czechoslovakia. How did all that work out? Appeasement never works. They keep coming back for more as they recognise you are weak and foolish and will do anything for a quiet life…even if that means subjugating your own people, and indeed others, to the enemy.
As long as the government keeps accepting the EU position that the Irish border is a problem this will never be resolved…and as long as the BBC keeps on promoting that pretence about the border there will be no pressure on government to stand up to the EU and tell them to get stuffed. Ask a BBC journalist to explain where in the Good Friday Agreement it says anything at all about borders and you get silence….again and again and again. They can’t answer because there is nothing in the agreement about borders but they want to keep up the lies to help the EU.
And note the arrogant, contemptuous, sneary put down from Dimbleby….unprepared to genuinely tackle Moore’s point he uses the same tactics he always uses…and is always proved ultimately wrong as when he claimed the BBC never used the term ‘due to Brexit’.
Pug,
Treason May has to keep the N Ireland border open. How else would those lovely millions of immigrants the Irish intend importing from the Third World get into the UK without that ‘back-door’ left ajar?
So, “Back-stop” is a misnomer, then…
G, under the Vienna Convention (think that is the right one) the Police in NI simply take the migrants back south over the border and leave them there. That ‘difficult border’ has hidden benefits. 😉
Up2.
That’s a massive assumption that the police will actually act. Are you suggesting that the NI police have not got enough serious crime like hate speech to be sidetracked by irrelevancies like people invading……….
G, true, very true. But at least it’s not 22+miles of water to cross to get from the border to Dublin. 😉
