    “Channel migrants: ‘Record number’ of boats and 74 people intercepted” Just.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-48484017
    “Last month, 140 migrants were picked up – the highest number since December, when a “major incident” was declared by Mr Javid.” I have to assume that the “major incident” in question was the shortage of council houses.
    “It is an established principle that those in need of protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach and since January more than 30 people who arrived illegally in the UK in small boats have been returned to Europe.”
    The, “established principle”? Surely that’s the UN Migration Compact which our own Treason May signed up to?
    Withdraw from the UN Migration Compact and certainly withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights which has been the handmaiden to the Globalists World Dominatin Plan for decades.

    The only thing I miss being licence-free are BBC4 documentaries which always seemed a cut above the rest of their programming. Friday night I happened to catch five minutes of “People’s History of Pop”. Ardent fans of The Smiths were on… first up was a black woman talking about how she’d gained in self-confidence through discovering their music. Then two more fans who got to meet their idols backstage, both Asian. Now the presenter (a BAME woman).

    If you remember The Smiths c.1985 an ethnic minority fanbase does not exactly spring to mind (as evidenced by the audience shots they showed from the era).

    Revisionism for the win, comrades.

      Suspecting a publicity stunt or a collection of middle class arty types with their heads up their behinds, I followed your link, unsurprisingly never heard of said bands. More surprisingly though was an interview with one of said bands, excerpt below.

      “Some people have said the People’s Vote march was a bit too muesli.

      Lias Saoudi: I’ve never seen a more middle-class campaign. I mean, maybe they should have staged a million-strong march against austerity when it happened. Your house price is going to go down slightly and your business trips to the continent are going to be slightly more complicated – it’s irrelevant to people who live in Rotherham. There’s two different worlds in this country. Even the music kids in Sheffield were voting Leave – you’d think people involved in alternative music would be the other way inclined. And we’d have people coming up from London to work on the Fat Whites record and they’d mingle with the Sheffield crew, and they’d be like, “They’re alright, but they all voted Leave,” as if it was this abhorrent thing. They couldn’t bend their heads around it.

      Nathan Saoudi: That pissed me off. There are people in Sheffield who are more socialist in nature than anyone I’ve ever experienced in the music game – helping, a community – and people up from London were like, “You can’t hang out with them, they voted Leave.” I just told them, “You never gave me a f chance to express myself and these guys are buzzing for the opportunity.” They voted Leave and they’re socialists, while the people down here (in London) voted Remain and they are absolute capitalists. After that, I don’t know – but that’s what I’ve seen and experienced.”

    Andrew Marr programme this morning on BBC1.

    The panel comprised Richard Tice, Chairman of The Brexit Party, a woman journalist/editor from anti-Trump CNN and a female member of Momentum.

    Tice was very calm and measured. The other two were shouty. The momentum bint said that every economist in the world realised that a Hard Brexit would be a disaster. Marr didn’t comment.

    As an aside, the CNN bint seemed to fancy Tice.

    Tice may be a better front man for the party than Farage. Farage should perhaps get a Victoria Cross for his achievements and step aside?

    2) Glastonbury hosts punk bands to sing “Kill a Tory”. Meanwhile,police prosecute Drill rappers for less. Hypocrisy much?
    3) What do you think of Tebbit’s Cricket test?

    \\The festival renowned for promoting peace will host two groups, Fat White Family and Kildren, who have called for violence against Conservatives //
    \\ Killdren, a punk rock band whose signature tune is Kill Tory Scum
    and whose Facebook page has called for the deaths of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s children.

    The band has enacted “live killings” of Tories on stage. Its signature song is Kill Tory Scum, the video of which depicts May being assassinated and Tory voters being killed with bombs and chainsaws.//
    FFS that is such a difference from a clumsy tweet about gays or Islam, that get the police interested

    \\ The band said yesterday that the comments about Rees-Mogg’s children had been posted to Facebook by someone else and had been deleted. It said that its work was “cartoonish and over the top”, “consciously crude” and “a counterpoint to the circus of UK politics”.

    Of Kill Tory Scum, it said:
    “The piece would not exist if the destructive and violent policies of the Tory party hadn’t taken such a devastating toll on the UK.”//
    \\ Fat White Family In a magazine interview said of Boris Johnson: “I would string him up and his cronies, these people need to be removed from existence. Especially IDS [Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory party leader] dying is too good for that c*** . . . can you print that?”//

    \\ Glastonbury website lists Fat White Family,

    What she didn’t do was visit the local Jewish community and do the same. So there we have it evidence Labour is anti-semitic. Bring on the yellow stars when they sieze power.

    BBC Radio 4 – The Food Programme ‘celebrates’ Ramadan and food.

    Muslims love Ramadan and eid but don’t really want Christians to celebrate their holy days, like Christmas for example (someone like Maxi might say “Not all Muslims”).
    Well the day I hear strong Muslim protests against the killing of Christians and the desecration of churches, just like the Muslim protesters are doing outside the school in Birmingham protesting against the teaching of gay relationships, then I’ll agree:

      Accepting it was the BBC’s favourite religion, the Food Programme could have been quite interesting but quite honestly, forget bias, it was dreadful. The first five minutes involved Miss Kahn saying the word ‘Muslim’ as loud as she could as every other word she was speaking.

      Miss Kahn spent the rest of the programme bounding up to people and asking them, ‘are you excited?’. One gentleman appeared to have come from the Caribbean but also politely replied he was interested and that was why he was there.

      I did hear there was a curry and they were feeding 6000 people and that the different communities had come together to prepare the food.

      But it was a food programme. We could have been told what dishes were being prepared, the logistics of preparing food for 6000, who does the washing up. As it was the BBC paid Miss Kahn to be excited and really do no research or preparation for her jolly day out.

      The BBC really knows how to burn our money.

    I switched over to sky news for a change from the far left bbc bias.
    They were criticising Trump for answering questions put to him about Brexit and then they were bigging up sad khan for being against Trump.
    Next, Sam Gyimah, the Remain Tory was speaking about his Remain plans if elected pm.
    Then, Nicky Morgan, the remainer, was talking about her support for Gove who wants to put Brexit back to 2020.
    This, followed by remainer, daft kenny Clarke, who is supporting Uriah Heep, sorry, remainer Rory Stewart, who would not serve in a cabinet if Boris was pm.

    After all these remainers we then went to see the arrival of the Liverpool players (no scousers in the team)
    I then switched off.

    Any recommendations of any news tv channel I can watch that isn’t far left. There must be a huge market awaiting for a tv channel that is impartial as opposed to every channel being far left.

      I think the problem is that to broadcast in this country you need a license from the government. Unless you toe the liberal left Globalist line on just about every issue they will take your license away. The Globalists know that control of what people see and hear is key to their project and so they ruthlessly eliminate any form of news that provides people with an alternative point of view. This is why they are so keen to censor the internet and to clamp down on free speech.

    The figures have increased since 40k a year a year in 2016 to 80k in 2018. This could be for various reasons not connected to Brexit. Statistically, it’s a non-event. We have a population of almost 70 million.

    But, for the BBC it is an event. Anything to bash Brexit.

    Episode 2 talks about the Brexit referendum specifically and that it was only a snapshot of public opinion at that time. Climate change gets a mention too!

    1. Courts

    4. Referendums

      The oldest(?) or second or third oldest Parliament in the world here in the UK (if you exclude the Biblical model of Israel en route from Egypt to Canaan) has done it rather differently, in my view, from Jonathan Sumption’s prescription for several hundred years. Over those hundreds of years it has been gradually refined to the point of Universal Suffrage and diminution of hereditary Peers.

      1. Monarch → Parliament ← People
      2. People → Laws ← Courts
      3. People → Police ← Enforcement

      Notice where the Monarch meets the People and also that the People play their part (and have done now for well over a hundred years) in all three important stages.

      It has taken a long time to reach that refined position. It is not perfect (because people are involved in all areas of it) but it works better than when the corruption of might or money or both was a big influence.

      JA, quite correct and not just Obama. The BBC have reported other foreign interferences, such as European Judges. Is it not for the politicians in the EU’s negotiating team to opine, not the ECJ?

      I have a feeling I have posted on the BBC’s amnesia on this specific point about three or four times and cannot what the other ‘interferences’ were. Think one might have been ‘a Sleb’ from overseas but the BBC tends to treat them with awe & deference these days.

      Grete’s eyes were frightening to look at. This girl’s not as bad but she does look as if she’s a little brainwashed.

      I often look at the eyes of people, it often gives clues to their thought processes. It can be misleading but not generally. The comment that the eyes are the window to the soul is very apt.

      Such a shame these kids are being driven to believe this drivel. ‘Nature is dying’? Really? She should come to where I live. Driving around rural Bedfordshire this fine June day, I thought it’s never looked so green and healthy. The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, the branches are straining under the weight of blossom and leaves, and all thanks to the life-giving CO2 we’re putting back into the atmosphere.

      I hope the poor love doesn’t lose sleep over all this propaganda. The eco-loonies filling their heads with this sh*t should hang their heads in shame.

        RobRoy, I can see the future when the climate activists take over and start meddling with nature and cause various catastrophes to species and such. They will then say, see we told you it was too late and we should have acted sooner and denying that their policies were the cause of the problem, rather than the remedy to non-existant problems.

        A bit like Chris Packham who believes that pest and invasive bird species should not be contained, and as a result the numbers of songbirds and other migrant species are rapidly declining. I think magpies are great to look at but their numbers are excessive and one of their favourite foods are small birds’ eggs. And yet all he will blame are house cats whose effect on bird numbers is probably very small. We need to cull magpies and others to manageable levels and hope that other species can once again thrive before they go extinct in this country.

          Sadly, I think you’re right there, Demon. My only hope is that when the climate stops playing ball and the world starts to cool (as a number of scientists are now predicting) I hope these kids will see these loons for the exploiting, callous liars they really are. But I won’t hold my breath.

        She’ll get hold of mummy’s smartphone, and dial rent-a-gob, with a recorded message by a green party member, who will eventually send a friend round to console her.

        They’ll then consume a vegan curry, (Winalot-free), and watch extended versions of Strictly-Islam-Bake-dance-off, and discuss the virtues of nothing at all, which is what the whole shebang is all about…

        Meanwhile, most working men and women prepare to get up at 5:30am, to go to work in a proper job, to earn some cash, and pay tax to provide funds for these layabouts.

I’m also sick to the back teeth watching and listening to those whingers who claim they get a raw deal from this country, whose parents arrived here with a fiver in their pocket and who have worked hard to make a new life ! How many of these whingers had relatives who fought for this country during the war ? How many of their relatives were bombed out, but instead of pissing off as refugees hoping another country to take them in, had to stay and rebuild their lives from the rubble they stood in.

      Of course, Mr Trump fully understands that there will be the usual rabble at every corner, and he’s a much better man at doing a real job than that ‘bus of a son-driver’ will ever aspire to!

      As I’ll never ever go to London again, and keep my money in my county, which deserves it more than he does, the stupid mair has to realise that he is the epitome of ridicule amongst normal non-lefties, and that he just kills the golden goose which was once a capital city.

      To be fair, whether there is anything in what she says it is irrelevant at this time. The time for discussing this sort of thing is much later. All that matters at the moment is Brexit, so she shouldn’t be saying anything that can be used as a smokescreen by the left-wing press/broadcasters to ignore Brexit.

        I believe she was merely responding to a question. A question designed specifically, of course, to elicit an answer that would spark synthetic fury and she’s been around long enough that she should know better. Not that I can see anything that a reasonable person would object to in her answer, but today’s loathsome media cares nothing for that.

        Sometimes it seems there’s just so much swamp to clear.

      Old speaker, typical bbbc hit job against a politician who most on here probably like. Ann Widdecombe if she had been doing brexit negotiations instead of useless spineless traitorous Theresa may then it would have been done now and brexit been delivered.

      But instead of saying anything good about her the BBC promotes a negative story about her and uses its other censorship technique of underreporting the genuine LGBQRSTZ haters at the school’s in Birmingham.

      Yeah the religion of peace people can say what they want about the gays and is underreported on bbbc but when it’s patriotic Ann W who actually didn’t say much at all controversial, she gets front page news as a shock sorry. God, the BBC are so biased With their reporting, it should get made subscription instead of us paying for the licence

    What to make of Jacob Hawley’s ‘Welcome To Britain’ on Radio 4?
    Supposedly about Brexit, (go on, guess what side he supported!), he rambled on about the working class, and women’s sanitary products, (cost £18,000 in a lifetime – I’ve done my right-on research!) and the joys of taking ketamine, which apparently all the ‘yoof’ take now, (should it be tax-free?).

    Well he kind of lost it on Brexit, obviously the ‘working class’ didn’t know what they were voting for, and if he actualy worked for a living he might realise that the ‘working class’ outside London are starting to figure out that Labour actually hates them.

    Best of all though he rants on about tampon tax, otherwise known as VAT, that tax introduced by the EU, that sets the rules that doesn’t let us ‘zero-rate’ that which has been taxed before. His £18,000 per life-time was a crazy figure that not even the BBC believes now, (more like £1,800).

    We also had some drivel about ‘collectivism’. He likes Gary Lineker because Gary likes refugees. ‘Collectively’ we must do something as Jacob and Gary can’t do anything as individuals. Gary’s big house away from ‘the diversity’ is clearly not suitable to house a few migrants.

    Germany is a great country because a young German woman didn’t bat an eye as German police directed migrants onto trains, (well she wouldn’t as its part of their history isn’t it [ouch!]), also ketamine is cheap.

    Weird. Who commissions this stuff?
