    ITV follow in the shitty footsteps of the BBC:

    Emmerdale fans threaten to BOYCOTT International Women’s Day Special… as they brand the show’s all-female cast and crew ‘sexist’

    She joked: ‘What they don’t realise is that we’ll be giving some of the men the traditional female roles for the day so we’ll all be bringing our kids in for them to look after. We’re really excited to be doing it, to be recognising IWD and do our bit for it.’

    Piers Morgan:
    ‘I’m having a male only Coronation Street campaign, a male only Good Morning Britain campaign. Watch the feminazi go berserk. You watch it erupt.’

      Annu,

      By “She” you mean producer Kate Brookes, recently engaged to Emmerdale actress Michelle Hardwick, herself quite recently divorced from her first wife.

      Not quite sure if she or they have kids or how much experience she or they have of relationships with men or what actual knowledge of the male psyche they could possibly have but in their small and ignorant world of false assumption and indulged assertion the oppression is real, isn’t it?

      Thankfully, in spite of the constant coverage and celebration, this hollow signalling is becoming more and more irrelevant daily.

    Why no asylum for this one ? next time you hear someone whingeing about islamophobia:

    Fears grow for ‘very unwell’ Christian mother Asia Bibi, 53, who was freed from a blasphemy death sentence in Pakistan and remains in protective custody

    Asia Bibi, 53 was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 but has now been acquitted
    Mrs Bibi remains in protective custody sheltering from lynch mobs in Pakistan
    Her health is failing and she is being denied access to medical care, sources say

    She was convicted in 2010 of offending the Prophet Mohammed under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws following a trivial argument with Muslim farm colleagues over a cup of water.

    Britain was urged to offer the devoted Christian sanctuary, but never did – and was accused of ‘pulling up the drawbridge’.

    ‘Excluded pupils sucked into knife crime.’

    1. Note the passive language: ‘Sucked into.’ You get sucked into a natural disaster like a tornado. The idea you have no control over whether or not you choose to stab someone to death is preposterous.

    2. Why did they get excluded in the first place? Disruptive kids make life hell for other pupils and of course teachers. This is a massive factor in fewer kids from these schools applying to Oxbridge, a subject so dear to the BBC’s heart. Sort out the rotten attitudes of certain kids and the number of Oxbridge applications from these schools could go through the roof.

    3. Exclusion is only used as a last resort. The problem is with rotten attitudes, not ‘da system.’ If the system is so racist how comes Indian and Chinese kids thrive in it, easily outperforming the white kids who supposedly profit from the ‘institutionally racist’ system?

    That shabby man of no real stature, the Mayor of Londonistan, was interviewed on Toady earlier. His solution to knife murders, he told our far left Marxist State Broadcaster, was, inter alia, to keep them in school. The Law of Unitended Consequences came to mind. But there, the Mayor does not possess the brain to think further than an effort to get himself off the hook.
    No mention of race in the stabbings? Such a blind spot: I would not want Mayor Khan to manage any business for me – you could go bust before he would recognise there was anything wrong with the business.

      I didn’t do Toady as I’m cutting down but – from my knowledge of my local school – the main reason kids get excluded is because of their violent nature as a threat to decent kids and staff. So the Emir is looking for an answer which isn’t there

      The real issue is parenting – or the lack of it – which is perpetuated by a third world under class of social parasites living off the taxes of others and living as ‘ victims’ .

      You might guess what the next paragraph might say

      By the way – the 19th victim was informally names overnight . The location wasn’t too far from when’re the 14 year old drug dealer on a stolen moped met his maker

        Apparently the fella in Leyton last night was stabbed at his home and ran into the street before bleeding out ..

        I know it’s East Londonistan which is a backwater for the BBC but the lack of interest points toward a victim “ with a past “ but I might be reading a bit much into it .

          I thought there might be an ‘ outcry ‘ ( journo word ) because the RAF has only killed 4000 ISIS killers ( or as the BBC say – “ fighters “ – which imbues a nobility far from reality ) .

          Why weren’t more sent to Allah ? They were after all in a death cult so why not facilitate their exit from kaffir world ?

          The BBC used the term ‘ admitted ‘ in relation to the RAF having killed a ‘ by stander’ . My thoughts are with the pilot for wasting ammunition .

    TOADY WATCH # all-in-one version

    Listened since 6am to most of it and there are some notable points:
    1. The BBC are campaigning against Brexit for all they are worth.
    2. The new Economics Editor, Dharshini David, put her ‘head above the parapet’ at long last but did not add value.
    3. The BBC are campaigning against Brexit for all they are worth.
    4. The poor old PM has an immense job, negotiating Brexit with one arm tied behind her back and her writing arm continually being nudged at the elbow by all and sundry.
    5. The BBC are campaigning against Brexit for all they are worth, especially a No-Deal Brexit.
    6. The French Government EU Minister seemed quite keen on a No-Deal Brexit.
    7. The BBC are still campaigning against Brexit for all they are worth.
    8. I think I should stop using this phrase: ‘for all they are worth’ in conjunction with the BBC. Definitely not worth £150+.
    9. The Met have said despite a vast number of Officers working on the Grenfell investigation, consideration of possible criminal charges will not start for over two years and may then take another year or so and may result in no charges and no Court cases. Perhaps they should hand over the investigation to that team of eleven or twelve at Bellingcat?
    10. The BBC are still campaigning against Brexit.
    11. Poor old London Mayor, now he’s hiding behind school Headteachers and blaming them for excluding persistently badly behaved children from their schools. First the Government for not funding the Metropolitan Police more, that’s your job Mr Mayor, and now it is how schools in London (‘including special units’) are run. Hey, guess what, Mr Mayor, that’s another devolved competency, is it not? Maybe ‘dissolved competency’ is a better turn of phrase?
    12. The BBC are still campaigning against Brexit.

      Thanks for the summary – I just can’t listen to it that much any more .
      I’m a bit disappointed that there isn’t much of a Project Fear story today . There must be some horror the Soros gang must be telling us about .

      I did like the one from yesterday about queues at the Eurostar in frogland . Anything which makes it more difficult for ReichEU types to get to Blighty can only be a good thing .,

      As for what you said about “ badly behaved children in schools ‘ it actually translates into kids who have tried to kill someone …which might be a reason for not teaching them

      Most people are wise to the smart meter scam, and don’t believe the hype, any more than they believe the climate change alarmism.

    I don’t know how many of you, if any, are fans of the TV station Talking Pictures. Due to the plethora of PC garbage pumped out by the mainstream channels I’ve become a regular viewer. It shows some classic films and television shows from the 50s, 60s and occasionally the 70s. It also interviews some of the forgotten stars from those days. Now here’s the rub…
    They’ve been showing the old Dick Barton series that was originally filmed over 40 years ago, but based on the radio series that was popular in the 40s. It was done in a slightly tongue in cheek fashion, with the characters laying on their Britishness with a trowel. “By George!” and “I say old boy.” and “Come on chaps.” It’s accompanied by highly strung music, in the best traditions of Saturday morning pictures. I think Tuesday’s was the last episode, but what startled me was the voice that introduced the show warning me that I might be offended by some of the language and opinions expressed, but that these unfashionable views were prevalent when it was filmed.
    Blimey, I thought, what’s old Dick been up to? Has he been referring to his enemies as “Wops” or “Krauts” or maybe “Spics”? Nope! Has he suggested that the beautiful, distressed heroine accompanies him into the broom cupboard for a quick “knee trembler”? Thankfully no!
    I’ve watched it through twice (they’re only 15 minute episodes) and discovered the “offensive” language must be a little talk Dick gave to his two pals, Snowy and Jock, when a traitorous baddie was about to be extinguished by a group of gangsters. “We can’t let this happen chaps. It isn’t the British way. Britain stands for fair play, decency and democracy…and quite a few more things that begin with D.” So even his patriotic speech was slightly self mocking. All totally harmless, Boys Own stuff, that I’d have thought everyone would watch with a smile. But no, even when patriotism is wrapped in self deprecating humour it has to be apologised for.
    Meanwhile on the BBC, to whoops and squeals of approval, Frankie Boyle referred to a Tory MP as a cxxx.
    No warnings, no apologies.
    Give me Dick Barton any day…

        Last year Talking Pictures was in serious trouble with Ofcom because it refused to censor the language used in some of its films and TV programmes. Family at War was considered beyond the pale because there was one complaint about it. Talking Pictures took the view that they shouldn’t babysit their audience. The compromise was that the programmes wouldn’t be censored, but would be preceded by an anouncement that the permanently offended would be offended – but not quite in those words.

          Perhaps the announcement should go something like this.
          “To all the wilting violets out there, if you do not wish to be offended please use your off switch now and please do not tune in again.” But of course, as always, these people are not offended by what THEY might see, they are offended by what they fear the rest of us adults might be viewing.
          By the way I subscribe to Talking Pictures and ignore most of the rest, because I find them personally offensive. There are in my view however, one or two notable exceptions but not one of them is shown by the BBC who are a national disgrace and should not be publicly funded.

    Listening to James O’Brien and his chum, London Mayor Sadiq Khan having a friendly chin wag. Do you remember when Alan Partridge a lifetime ago got his mate to ring up saying Partridge deserved a television show? All the selected callers have been lined up give Khan a very easy ride. Apart from Khan calling Nick Ferrari a part time broadcaster and citing this as the reason he won’t appear on his show it’s all very predictable so far. Somehow, I don’t think JOB is going to come out of this very well, I hope not anyway. I’d like to be a fly on the wall when JOB’s and Nick Ferrari’s paths cross next time.

    I watch with interest the story of ‘state capture’ in South Africa -which no mention is ever made of by the baying hordes of the beeb, who couldn’t stop talking about Apartheid, presumably as SA doesn’t fit their agenda any more.
    The cost of ‘state capture’ (by the ANC, much beloved of the beeb) is running at R1.5 Trillion over the second term of the Zuma administration, just short of the R1.8 Trillion 2019 budget. Thus it has wiped out a third of the country’s R4,9 Trillion GDP.
    The consequences of this tale of corruption are widespread and devastating for the ordinary citizen. This new form of suffering imposed on the people of SA would make for an interesting story for the bbc to tell, but I very much doubt we will hear or see anything about ‘state capture’ there.
    Doesn’t fit the narrative, you see. Bad ole whitey has, in effect, been disposed of. Mission completed for the bbc propagandists. End of story. Must find new places where bad ole whitey is active, and work on them.

    There’s a #BBCYoungReporter competition, here are the finalists:

    — 15-year-old Annabelle is going through an early menopause and on HRT
    — Isabella’s story is about what life is like a foster sister
    — Lottie’s dad was knocked off his bike; it had a massive impact on the whole family
    — Rhys is a boxer with six disabilities
    — Jake is a DJ who uses sign language
    — Black, Muslim female footballer Salma wants to challenge stereotypes
    — Jovita and her parents are deaf and use British Sign Language
    — Eghosa lives in a one bedroom flat with his mum and his sister and wants the council to move them
    — Fatima wants to inform people about the hijab because it can incite negative comments and prejudice
    —Tia’s story is about living with a parent who is an addict
    — Francesca says how social media has made her view her disability differently
    — When Tayla’s mum died she helped the lives of four strangers

    The BBC are infatuated with this kind of social realism, it’s bread and butter for their dystopian view of the UK in which the noble underclass are scrabbling around, eking out a Mike Leigh existence brought on by the failure of government and everyone being racist and voting for Brexit.

    But what effect does a non-stop cycle of hardship porn have on young people? The BBC and the rest of the MSM will show their virtue by much hand-wringing over the crisis of mental health; they’ll have countless writers and journalists in to sell another soul-searching memoir about being anxious and depressed, but they never stop to think in their endless promotion of misery lit that they themselves might be complicit.

      Yes, he’s going to be in court to face the same charges again. The swamp dwellers are beyond description in the depths of depravity they will sink to in their persecution of someone who has the temerity to tell the truth about islam and pakland rape gangs.

      Tommy Robinson is going to need financial support to hire the best legal team he can find. Although, no doubt the court procedures have already been rigged to get their desired result.

      Mr Cox, is a key swamp dweller in this matter but Mrs May and Mr Javid must also have had starring roles. They are a disgusting trio.

      I’ve had a thought. Could it be that the swamp dwellers are going to use Tommy Robinson as a distraction up to the 29th. March, to stop us focusing on their treasonous plans regarding Brexit?

      Maybe they don’t really care whether he is find guilty or not ( though a guilty verdict would be the icing on the pile of ordure they’re concocting) but the trial will probably overwhelm the MSM so that the swamp dwellers hope we the People lose sight of how they are selling out our country to the EU. If I’m correct, I have no doubt the far-left bbc collective will flood their programmes with Tommy Robinson trial stories.

      Maybe we’re not too stupid to be able to oppose two issues at the same time.

    Im so angry about this. The establishment filth want him silenced once and for all. What absolute scum they are, i woulnt p***s on them if they were on fire. If he is guilty then the BBC journalist who did the same thing and whose trial came up the other week should have been found guilty also. But there again he works for the establishment so thats ok. If tommy gets send down the crowds who marched last year will be out again but the numbers will be greater and maybe they wont be as well behaved as they were then. They really are scum.

      Since the AG has taken 4 ? Months to make a decision about a case with pretty straight forward circumstances it will be interesting if an ‘ abuse of process ‘ might be claimed – particularly since TRs reputation and the circumstances of his campaigning are becoming more widely known .

      Apart from the prospect of putting him back in prison so that Muslim prisoners or chosen prison officers can kill him off – the cost of the legal challenge to a vindictive state and its political trial will be considerable . I could guess at the type of judge who will be appointed to the trial…..

      I really hope this receives coverage in countries with some residue of free speech such as America as well as those remaining nations which have not been corrupted by the needs of ‘ minorities ‘ and others hostile to the British way of life .

      Shame on the AG – but let’s face it – a diminished office – much like a so called conservative government .

        Thinking about it a bit more – I suppose the attempt to silence TR again is linked to the Elites ‘ fear that the plebs might play up if brexit doesn’t happen as currently planned .

        They must also be concerned about the strain being placed on the police by having to wander round pretending to stop Londonistan killings as well as planning for things which might happen with the ReichEU declares economic war on Blighty should we be lucky enough to escape on WTO – as well – maybe as having to police a forthcoming general election as the current government drowns in its own lies and incompetence …

    There’s a delicious little race row going on at the moment following an interview the hapless Amber Rudd gave to Jeremy Vine. God she’s another painfully right on Tory who loves to virtue signal.
    Today they were both guffawing over the “trolls” who have a go at her on Twitter. “Some pathetic bloke living in his mum’s basement” sniggered Jezza. “I just ignore them” admitted Ms Rudd. It was when she attempted to give full flow to her PC credentials by saying how badly some of the ethnic minority MPs have been treated that she came unstuck. “Some of the things they say about Diane Abbott” she wittered “are clearly racist.” Brownie points for Ms Rudd. Not only showing her anti racist credentials but also standing shoulder to shoulder with a “sister.”
    However, it was then that she committed her colossal faux-pas and called the delightful Diane “coloured.”
    I was at the gym at the time (honing my already impressive physique to new levels of perfection) and listening on headphones and very nearly fell off my static bike. Nobody at the time seemed to notice but the perennially offended Twitter mob are in a state of near apoplexy and Diane, being her usual gracious self, has said “The remarks are revealing…”
    The pathetic Amber has apologised profusely and I don’t doubt the Beeb and The Guardian will have a field day.
    Serves her bloody well right!

      I can’t stand Vine, he’s one of the reasons I no longer listen to the radio when at work. He seems to think he is so lovably uncool and self-deprecating, he really is a knob.
      Shouldn’t he have said, “Some pathetic bloke living in his mom’s basement”? Surely that is an American idiom – AFAIK the majority of British houses are built without basements.
      The next time a public figure gets abuse from more “diverse” sources, do you think there’s any chance Vine will say the offenders are “Some pathetic blokes living in a filthy, overcrowded HMO with soiled mattresses dumped outside”?

      In the novel, from what I recall the Outer Party are watched and monitored by the Inner Party (or the other way round)..
      …….in other words the ‘intelligensia’/’middle classes’ are the ones being watched and controlled, which is always the case in authoritarian regimes.

      The proles (or the ‘plebs’) which make up a huge proportion of the population, are generally left to their own devices to sing songs and drink cheap alcohol in underground bars etc………

      Suggest washing hands after using a knife to protect against disease and purify the body and spirit.

      Wuḍūʾ (Arabic: الوضوء‎ al-wuḍūʼ [wʊˈdˤuːʔ]) is the Islamic procedure for wiping parts of the body, a type of ritual purification, or ablution. Wudu involves washing the hands, mouth, nostrils, arms, head and feet with water and is an important part of ritual purity in Islam.
