The MSM campaign to ‘ get Boris ‘ trundles on . As a result I bet both candidates see MSM involvement – such as hustings – a mistake . This shows how the MSM has put its own personal view above the needs of the public .

The Brexit Party announcement. (Not on the BBC, of course).
“”Dear Supporter,””
“”Our national event, The Big Vision, is sold out at the NEC Birmingham today.
If you haven’t got a ticket you can still follow the political event of the summer.
Watch The Big Vision live, via our social media pages, from 4pm this afternoon.
Don’t miss the chance to hear the Brexit Party’s first big policy announcements, and the results of our supporters’ votes on options for political reform. We will also be announcing our first 100-plus candidates for a General Election.
If you do have a ticket for The Big Vision, we look forward to seeing more than 5,000 of you this afternoon for the next step in our campaign to change politics for good. “”
It will be interesting to hear their plans for the BBC 😉
The ST informs me that women are leaping up the bbc pay league. How gratifying that wimmin are now overpaid as much as men at the biased broadcasting corp.
Vlad,
If those cancelling their TV tax is gaining momentum, that loss of revenue + overpayments (“equal” payments) to staff surely means ‘two-ends-to-the-middle’. Not a good business model. I imagine a good number of over 75’s will elect not to pay for a licence when the time comes.
Anyway, I dream of the day when viewing numbers to the BBC and the other broadcasters fall to their ethnic contingent only. After all, it is they who the BBC and other broadcasters focus their output on almost exclusively now. Evidence? Look no further than the disproportionate numbers of black and asian faces which equally disproportionately adorn almost every item of tv advertising. Let’s see if that small faction can financially support the BBC and all its excesses.
Re-writing history from the standpoint of what the media see as the progressive elite
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/sir-winston-churchill-may-have-been-gay-claims-historian-and-tv-comedy-star-charlie-higson/ar-AADCWV8?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP
Churchill was gay. Well maybe, could have been, …
Yeah, why not. Thatcher was a lesbian, Lloyd George was a transvestite and Nye Bevan was into sheep love.
He can’t have been gay because he was a devout Muslim having converted when he saw how wonderful the religion was whilst on the Northwest Frontier and in the Sudan….and we all know Muslims don’t like homosexuality…as Baroness Warsi tells us…from 2005 but so relevant to today…..
‘“Labour has scrapped Section 28, which was introduced by the Conservatives to stop schools promoting alternative sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality to children as young as seven years old.
“Labour reduced the age of consent for homosexuality from 18 to 16, allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships.”’
Another hit-job on Boris by a Louisa Gosling….who might she be? Someone who had very close ties to the EU and presumably still has a close affinity for the Empire.
Previous jobs….

So she’s had a long involvement with the EU in one shape or another….and presumably the love affair continues…and she serves her masters well with a hit-job on Boris in the pro-EU Times. It doesn’t matter whether the story is completely true, half-true or totally false…it’s out there now as intended and the media has gone for it in a big way…the BBC yet to comment but you can be sure it will be a constant thread in any discussion on Boris this week.
Am I right that she has been both ‘poacher’ and ‘gamekeeper’?
Not at the same time I hope, but then it is the EU.
Another BBC “impartial” reporter who sits and waits to pick at any little aspect of President Trump.
Embarrassing. Really is.
I think this story about Emily Maitless sums up the attitude that the BBC has towards the public who it extorts money from via the licence fee.
Maitless was photographed with her dog sitting on a seat beside her on a busy London to Cornwall train this week, despite it being against the rules of the train company, Great Western Railway.
She wrote in The Sunday Times today, ‘I have been pet-shamed by an outraged passenger who clearly didn’t notice that the incriminating photo also contained the trainered feet of a passenger stretched out on the row behind us.’
Not sorry, no apology and no consideration for other passengers and then shifting the attention from her misdemeanor to someone else. The same strategy the BBC used for Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall and DJ Chris Denning et al.
I won’t apologize to the accusation of overreacting to this story because the BBC and the people employed by it, unlike other mere mortals, believe they are above scrutiny and the law of the land.
Cass
Can you imagine the column inches that would have been generated had it been Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage with either the dog or the trainers?
I am severely allergic to dogs but the asthma it triggers may wait until I go to bed. I once had to endure a long train journey on a full train with a woman (not Maitlis, sitting opposite with her dog for whom she had bought a ticket). She kept assuring me the breed was one that didn’t trigger asthma. I was awake most of the night coughing with an important meeting the following day. The arrogance of Maitlis is breathtaking. She took her dog all the way to Cornwall for some sea air? What about her carbon footprint….and the dogs, come to that. I trust she paid some carbon credits to off set it.
It’s nice to know someone sneaked a picture of the famous Emily as she really is . If I had a dog I would not let it sit on a public seat meant for people . I’m guessing the dog is female …
I bet she’s on the BoJo target list ….
I’m certainly no fan of Maitlis, but according to her the dog was not on the seat for the entire journey, but just 17 minutes. If she had a brain in her head, and knowing she was taking a dog on the train, then carry a blanket for the dog to lie on and buy a seat ticket for it. Simples.
These days no bugger is safe with bloody phone cameras, oh and recording equipment to listen in on private conversations and bust ups.
With the advent of all singing/dancing smart phones, personal data collecting Facebook, the world has become one huge Stasi state. Yet no one blinks a bloody eye.
Aside: Notice also the title of the book ‘Partition Voices’.
Emily prepping up on the evil empire maybe.
btw I meant only to insert a link there, don’t know what happened but it will do.
Marxism made simple in less than five minutes by the BBBC;

Truly sanitary output by the BBBC.
Not BBC but Sky News, but they all pee in the same pot !!!!
It’s another Trump bashing headline, check out the comments, wonder when these far left, Trump hating agencies will finally get the message , people are sick and tired of their liberal agenda. Like many have said, can you imagine the difference in reporting of this was Obama !!! Sopel and co would be drooling !!!
https://twitter.com/41020truth/status/1145324455096401920
Surprisingly, I found this.
Well well well …. Wonders will never cease !!!! One for the scrapbook.
He only did it for politics – not for peace
Why didn’t he do it before
He’s legitimising a fascist state
He’s only trying to get a Nobel Prize
( not sure which one Sopel will address these comments too ..)
I do wonder if a few beeboids might be realising a true enemy is about to become the PM – and could be there for a while …. if he pulls off brexit …
This might interest you Navets, it’s about the comedy ‘Rabbit’ from Channel 4:
“Nigel Farage has furiously hit out at Channel 4 after a satire shows a spoof of him shot in the head during a speech on immigration.
The Brexit Party and former UKIP leader, 55, branded Year Of The Rabbit ‘totally sick and frankly irresponsible’ after it emerged they will kill off ‘Neil Fromage’ on tomorrow night’s show.
The series, which first aired on June 10 and stars Bodyguard actress Keeley Hawes, will play the clip in the upcoming fourth episode – but it is already available on Sky.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7197251/Nigel-Farage-blasts-Channel-4-TV-comedy-showing-right-wing-campaigner-Neil-Fromage.html
It’s worth watching if only to count the amount of black and Asian actors in this comedy set in Victorian London.
I expect it won’t be too long before the BBC or Channel 4 broadcast a comedy about the frail leader of a Marxist opposition party who is murdered by an obese female comedian who embeds an ice pick in his head while he is making jam.
Just a moment, there seems to be flashing blue neon light coming through the window and the sound of my door being kicked down. Why that looks like police issue mark 2 taser…
Cass
Humour? it’s all predictable, infantile and about as funny as my Aunt Mabel getting her left…….well that’s another story as told by Dudley Moore.
As for the ice pick, I think the obese comedienne would be at the back of a very large ungodly and disorderly queue.
Do you still have police where you live? The last time I saw one, he was asleep at the wheel of a police car just off an obscure out of town roundabout. An endangered species if ever I saw one, undoubtedly under threat because of climate change.
I would like to apologize for my prediction that there would
be up to 80% Indian supporters at Edgbaston for the India-England
World Cup cricket match. I underestimated it is nearer to 90%!!
Birmingham is an English city where one would of thought that a few
thousand Englishmen would be interested in watching their
national side in a very important game.
BUT I was forgetting a couple of things. The Indians really love their
cricket which they are very good at it. AND apparently they were
very organized when it came to applying for tickets for the game.
Basically they had acquired most of the tickets whilst the England
supporters were sleeping.
There is a lot to learn from the ex members of our empire from
the Indian sub continent. The ones from the southern part are
very good at applying for cricket tickets. The ones from the north
exceptional at applying for POSTAL BALLOTS amongst other things,
which the BBC don’t like talking about.
Fos
I was talking to an Indian friend at my church today and he said you could get a ticket for the cricket today for £1000 yesterday . It is more important to our Indian friends that England win in order to eliminate the hated Pakis – who are so good at filling in postal votes and may be the biggest challenge to the next general election being anything like fair-
With or without nonsense allegations about Russians or other foreigners ‘interfering ‘.
The beboids found the quote below on a ‘groupthink’ twitter account.
“This whole meme is just another Trump snow-job of flim-flam. Does anyone seriously believe Kim will give up even one warhead [because] Trump is his bud?,” said Robert Kelly, professor of political science at Pusan University in South Korea.

The Londonistan mayor must be busy this weekend talking to the next of kin of 4 – four – separate murder victims – which on my count brings the number to 70 – half way through the year – heading for my 150 prediction against 132 last year .
Why the fixation with numbers ? Well the homicide rate is considered to be the one stat which can’t be fiddled with . And upon which the relative ‘safety ‘ or areas can be assessed.
I caught a bit of the world at one attacking the BOJo record as mayor of London because they hate him and are fully biased against him ‘ mardell should be ashamed of himself but he, like so many beeboids with his , sold their soul and journalistic reputation years ago .
Import the third world, then you’ll get a third world culture.
Diversity is divisive.
London mayor Sadiq Khan said: “Violence against women is endemic in society…”
He forgot to mention young girls.
As usual at the bottom of the article they have a ‘get out of jail’ phrase –
“so they [China] will suffer more from a trade war”,
but they are dishonest on the importance of the ‘tariff war’, in order to bring China into line and obey WTO rules.

Blimey, I can only imagine what the last few weeks has been like with the ever irrelevant and irritating al beeb ????
3 or 4 weeks of women’s comedy football, the last few days the lefty lovefest that is Glastonbury, and up next 2 weeks of beeboids talking up Wimbledon!
They would dearly love it if Saint Serena of Compton wins another slam ????
CM,
Yes, it’s a case of the ‘Buck stopping somewhere’. That happens to be President Trump exercising his hard nose business ability and knowledge over the absence of same with Saint ‘Back of the Queue’ Barry. The Chinese have been stealing intellectual property for decades and George Bush and the Saint turned a blind eye in view of their lack of business experience and indeed any backbone.
Just imagine when the Japs were up to the same intellectual property theft in the 70’s and 80’s/90’s how a President Trump type would have hampered their commercial advancement. The international commercial World would now be a totally different place.
An unusually interesting piece in The Guardian ( I know – I’m a heretic ) but …. it’s about people who do not consume The News – in any form – perhaps a third of the available population .
I used to know people who just didn’t pay any attention to the news or politics or current affairs at all . The important things were David Beckham s new tattoo and who was screwing who on East Enders .
Perhaps people who don’t pay attention to the BBC – yet alone its bias – are better off – spiritually – and choose to worry about other things they consider more important .
Many years ago I was speaking with a smart engineer and was amazed to learn that they didn’t watch the news.
The point being that it’s not just Beckham tattoo followers who abstain.
Having been very busy and hardly glancing at the BBC website (where I used to get all my news) I’ve been one of those not ‘paying attention’ this week… and frankly, it’s been great, most relaxing and stressfree.
This evening, I made the mistake of (bad habit) returning to the BBC News webshite, and the propaganda machine is so blatant, it’s cringemaking.
It seems like every single feckin’ article:
Glastonbury (doubleplusgood)
Trump (doubleplusbad)
EU (doubleplusgood)
Brexit (doubleplusbad)
‘Migrant’ rescue (doubleplusgood)
Boris (5 minutes of hate)
Stomzy (doubleplusdoubleplusgood)
Plastic (another 5 minutes of hate)
Vaginas
More vaginas
Gay vaginas
Diseased vaginas
Diseased gay vaginas…
I’ve decided I’m giving up on the BBC webshite for good, which means I won’t be receiving any BBC input at all, which can only be a good thing. From what I hear lots of others are doing the same.
Al Beeb be warned, The Brexit Party are on the offensive ! ‘Nigel Farage is out of the box’!
Can they bring UKIP with them ?
Will Al Beeb cover the parties’ surge ?
“Brexit Party says it will scrap interest on tuition fees”
That’s a weak headline but couched inside…………….
“By leaving the EU without a deal, axing HS2 and halving the overseas aid budget, Mr Farage claimed the party would free up to £200bn to spend on economic development outside London.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48819725
We need to feel for the MSM and in particular the BBC which has had to lead its news with The President of America texting North Korea and then paying an actual visit .
Feel too for the Democrats busily catfighting over which one is going to lose the 2020 election – I know this has the smell of hubris about it – but diplomacy by twitter isn’t a bad way to conduct World Affairs ….

Machynlleth is the first town in Wales to declare a climate emergency. She stops off at the repair café where everything from bikes to old umbrellas is given a new lease of life. She picks her own veg at various help-yourself plots around the town and heads to the Centre for Alternative Technology where she cooks up a feast with the veg she’s picked in a big solar-powered oven. Also at the Centre she checks out the latest designs in solar heating and finds out that everything from cherry stones to bracken can be used to insulate our homes.

Just thought I’d check BBC news to see if England had beaten India. Imagine my joy when I scanned the BBV headlines nothing about England cricket so no need to check sport section it’s obvious they had won !!!
It was on the BBC Sport text pages Halifax. Well, ‘Australia thump New Zealand’ headlined, anyway, so they know where their priorities lie.
Nothing on England India? Sorry, you were right, it’s not really important enough – except that India captain Kholi complained about the short boundary, implying a bit of gamesmanship on England’s part, which is all you’d expect from such blatant imperialists, fiddling the rules to ensure true sportspersons are cheated of their success.
Thanks Beltane.
Anti UK in every way and we have to pay for it.

Whitey bad, immigrants good, they can’t integrate cos of hate crimes, racism, family/cultural reasons blah blah blah. They must know that race baiting like this is going to end badly and they should therefore be shut down.
Further to the many comments about Stormzy, this article in CW is worth a read, as are the comments:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/my-pupils-need-mozart-not-stormzy-innit/
rap and grime = crap and crime
I didn’t see Stormzy but hear Corbyn said it would “go down in our country’s cultural history”.
I was however reminded of another rap headliner at Glasto and how he compared in talent to — from your article — “the best there has ever been.”
(NB: His sets also featured ballet but you needed fewer stab vests in those days, unprogressive as that may be)
Yep, Shakespeare, Wren, Purcell, Elgar, and Stormzy.
I don’t consider myself a stupid person so correct me if you think I am wrong, but surely the fact this Stormzy dickhead is black and wore a stab proof vest highlights the fact our capital city is in the midst of a crime epidemic, and it’s useless Mayor has lost control?
It seems contradictory to what I guess he believes in ????
Maybe he’s a dozy bugger ????
The stab proof vest reminds us that blacks kill each other on an almost daily basis.
Somehow that’s a cause for their grievance?
And an excuse for foul expletives against Bojo?
You know when you read the headline and can tell what the article is REALLY about….

Shut up and find a band from your own generation ✌????
From the Spectator – BBC should take note
“But strong words alone will not be sufficient to end this tsunami of Maoist intolerance. As Carl says, ‘If we want to safeguard academic freedom, and freedom of speech more generally, we need to start imposing real, material costs on the institutions that buckle under activists’ pressure.’ That is why everyone who believes in intellectual freedom should support his lawsuit.”
The Sun:
“”NIGEL EYES NO 10 Brexit Party unveils first 100 general election candidates as Nigel Farage vows to fight Tories and Labour for EVERY seat””
“By the end of next week we will have 650 approved prospective parliamentary candidates.
“There is a big message that Westminster needs to hear – we are not a protest movement.”
“The candidates include teachers, economist, and a forklift driver.””

Wonder if Stormzy’s career will fade as quickly as those other black cultural icons, such as Dizzee Rascal and Blazin Squad?
