        Not forgetting Patricia Hewitt who also worked for the NCCL at the time and is also implicated in the PIE stuff.

        Tommy Robinson is constantly vilified for his association with the EDL but Mrs Halfman and Mrs Hewitt are never tagged with the NCCL and its PIE connections whenever their names crop up.

    4pm Radio 4 hit piece against righty women, #StitchUps
    \\ Anti-extremism expert Julia Ebner, who has infiltrated multiple far-right groups, reveals that many of these organisations have begun actively recruiting young women in the hopes of softening their public image and potentially increasing their mainstream appeal.

    We hear from Lucy Brown who underwent a political transformation that saw her quit Black Lives Matter and end up working alongside Tommy Robinson, the former head of the English Defence League.
    Lara also speaks to Canadian YouTube “star” Lauren Southern who was banned from entering the UK in 2018 following a highly offensive protest
    ….(WTF she opened a stall in Luton saying Islam loves gays) //

    ooh scary background music
    boo-words like “hardline right”, “denial” thrown around

    … being anti-rape, and anti-terrorism, and pro-equality is pretty mainstream.

    “Lucy Brown” one of the most prominent activists.
    Nowhere near ..she is not Jayda Fransen or Anne Marie Waters.

    “Julia Ebner went undercover with Generation Identity”

    Mentions Jonaya’s anti-Islam views
    ..failed to mention she is mixed-race ( ah in the clip Jonaya mentioned it herself)
    They used her step family’s surname “English” , cos that makes her seem “far right”

    Lauren is now explaining her “Allah is a gay god” stunt and how the gov labels her “racist”

    Lucy is saying she is the “Owen Jones of the right”
    The presenter says ..”You wear a sunwheel necklace..thats a Nazi symbol !” wags finger
    “Your collection of Nazi jewellery”

    4:20pm and Lara gets to topic of grooming gangs, and German immigrant sex abuse “a strong far right argument to lure in new members to the far right”

      4:28pm prog maker tries to connect the Christchurch killer to these women.
      Now listen there were 50 victims in NZ
      but the context in the last couple of months tens of thousands of Muslims have died in attacks in Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc.
      so you shouldn’t just count people killed by the odd crazy WHITE guy.

          Lucy Brown,

          Yeah, it’s a Nazi symbol

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol)

          Lucy Brown admits looking it up, having full knowledge of what it means, and yet still thinks; “oh that’s cool, I’ll wear that”.

          Either she’s just spectacularly stupid; or she’s a Nazi sympathiser (which by definition means she is also spectacularly stupid).

            Projection ? When someone throws out grand accusations against others, always ask if they are actually PROJECTING their own flaws.

            Any extraordinary claim against someone, needs to have extraordinary evidence.

            Lucy Brown used to be a Black Lives Matter activist
            … now you are claiming she is a Nazi activist
            ..wow
            What is a Nazi ?
            A person, who believes that Aryans are a master race , that other ethnicities and minorities are inferior, to such an extent that it is OK to exterminate them. Using any older softer definitions is DISRESPECTFUL to the memory of the holocaust victims.
            The label is the strongest boo-label you can think of and renders the accused TOXIC
            …. So you’d think that anyone throwing around the word would have proper evidence.
            Cos anyone who breaks the commandment about ‘bearing false’ witness.is “just spectacularly stupid” or a nasty bully.
            (that’s the projection bit)

            The radio prog had all the opportunity to prove that Lucy is an actual Nazi.
            ..maybe it could have quoted her saying “let’s exterminate the Jews, white people are the master race”..nope
            It could have shown evidence that she only associates with whites and not gays and blacks .. but it didn’t cos we know that is untrue.

            Presenter ‘you have a Nazi necklace’
            Lucy ‘actually it’s a pagan symbol, I didn’t know it had been adopted by the Nazis until after I bought it’
            ‘I still like it, so I still wear it’

            Now Maxi observe, there are three cases these days when people use “Nazi symbols”
            i. when the thing actually predates the Nazis
            ii. When they are an actual Nazi
            … yes there really might be a handful around
            iii. or when they know people like you get super-triggered
            …I think 97% of Nazi symbol use, is about winding up or getting back at people who go around shouting Nazi.

            I think that it is mockery of people who on Twitter scream “Nazi” at people they don’t like and try to say there is some equivalence with people who groom/rape/trade/prostitute children.
            Is Lucy the bad man ?

    Our honourables are keen to keep on saying we brexiteers didn’t know what we were voting for in our great referendum victory of 2016.

    I have a solution to the impasse we have with the honourables going against the people.

    We have about 500 honourable members who are remainers (who, of course, respect the result of the referendum………)
    They tell us leavers now want to remain.
    If they believe that then they should, all 500, resign and stand again in by elections stating that they will be supporting remaining in the eu. If they then win as they say they will, we brexiteers will accept the result if remainers get a legitimate majority in Parliament.

    Of course this will not happen because they know they will (most of them) lose. They know they are in the minority.

    Maybe the new PM, Sir Oliver leftwing will add this to his indicative votes for his parliament to blather on about.

    The R4 programme ‘in the right’ was yet another BBC view of the new right by a leftish journalist.The website Lara Whyte is linked to Open Democracy is very much a Left Wing academic & media website.
    However her programme had a soft edge to it that felt like the BBC are trying to open up doors with the New Right as maybe the BBC are getting worried about how so many new right figures around the world are refusing to talk now to the BBC because of such overtly biased programmes in the past
    Getting a female journalist to make contacts with right wing females – quite an imaginative idea

    If you fast forward to the next election – whatever the outcome of Brexit – when prospective MPs ( as in the current ones) ask for our vote – how can anything they say or promise be relied upon at all ?
    I know the politician lies for a living but truly – every thing is invalid now – speeches , manifestos , TV debates – all just mush .
    If brexit is stopped will the remainers be happy ? Will they be triumphant ? When the reality is that promises made again and again about leaving have been broken ?

    The Monarch is preserving herself by giving no sign about what is going on in her parliament or how her subjects feel . Instead the Royal Family performs a useless function as a branch of the entertainment industry advertising frocks and playing their lives like a ‘soap opera ‘ ‘

    Yet the monarch is the head of her Commonwealth which would benefit greatly by reengagement in free trade ….. I don’t get it.

    Sorry, this is only tangential to anything that’s being discussed here today but it does involve the far-left bbc collective in that they covered the Madeleine McCann case quite extensively at the time and over the intervening years. And the parents seem to be in the news again at the moment.

    One thing that has occurred to me, whatever happened to the sniffer dogs evidence? It seemed very compelling at the time then just disappeared as though it was irrelevant and unreliable.

    If use of sniffer dogs was a waste of time, why are they used to find bodies ( alive and dead ) when there’s been a natural disaster such as an earth quake?

    In the Madeleine McCann case, the dogs located evidence of her both in the apartment and in the hire car.

      Reading the article a bit more closely gave me a headache.

      It gives the percentages of where the cultural enrichers want to migrate to;

      29% within African region
      27% Europe
      22% North America
      13% other countries
      7% elsewhere in Africa
      4% don’t know

      The writer went to great lengths to tell us that the majority want to stop in Africa (29%) as opposed to Europe (27%). But whats the difference between African region (29%) and elsewhere in Africa (7%)???

      Are the 29% just moving to a different part of their home country? If so they’re not migrating they’re ‘moving house’.

      Are they fiddling the figures?

      The assumption is that the British are ignorant of ‘Europe’, now why might that be?

      Could it be that for 40 plus years the EU-loving BBC has ignored ‘Europe’, (except when the UK has been the ‘bad boy’), and concentrated on the US that it loves to hate, (and loves to visit ‘on expenses’)?

      Could it be that we heard nothing about ‘Europe’ bcause they don’t want us to know about ‘Europe’, in the same way that in over two-and-a-half years the ‘remainers’ have failed to put forward any argument as to why we should stay in the EU, (as opposed to why we shouldn’t leave)?

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/03/26/bbc-has-become-spends-much-time-worrying-gender-race-diversity/

    “The BBC is so preoccupied with diversity and gender balance that it has become less representative of the country it serves, according to Michael Buerk.

    The former foreign correspondent and news anchor said the corporation spends too much time worrying about paying women as “fabulously” as men.

    It is dominated by a metropolitan middle class, he claimed, adding that the imminent departure of John Humphrys from Radio 4’s Today programme is a loss because he is that rare thing: a BBC presenter from a working class background with no university education.”

      The Daily Mail also reported that he said ……”These are more uniformly middle-class, well-educated, young, urban and bright, with little experience of – and sometimes little sympathy for – business, industry, the countryside, localness, traditions and politicians.’

      The next bit was interesting……….

      When he joined in 1970, Buerk told Radio Times, few of his colleagues had a degree. ‘They were sharp, if not especially clever, but they had the smell of the street about them and an empathy with those in the underprivileged sticks from which most had hailed,’ he added.

    The BBC’s two main stories since 2016:

    1. The threat of ‘fake news’ and misinformation from the internet.

    2. A fake news spectacular about Trump and Russia.

    The BBC loves telling us how the government and the EU are getting their priorities straight by putting speed limiters on all cars…

    https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47715415#comment_134296396

    So i wrote this on the BBC comments section:

    “Great idea, we have a massive problem with pensioners mis-gendering people on twitter. Now they won’t be able to speed away in their car to escape the police when they come to break the door down. Luckily the special people in R-ham, only curb crawl slowly for children in their cars… and so will thankfully be left untouched by this law. Will the cancerous BBC censor this comment?”

    Anyone care to speculate if this comment was deleted by the BBC?,

    The BBC of course loves to deflect with this kind of non-sense news, a bit of child rape, and police smashing in pensioners doors to “check their thinking” goes unnoticed by the BBC. Of course the BBC like a bit of child rape themselves, as well as shutting down speech they don’t approve of.

    THE BBC ARE FILTH.
