So , Ladies Gentlemen and confused .. Thursday marks the sentencing of a journalist after a politically motivated trial in Britain . The BBC will cover it and fight for ‘press freedom ‘ right? Or maybe it’s the kind of ‘press freedom ‘ of which they do not approve . The British State will also want to send a signal to less courageous folk about the cost of challenging what it has allowed to happen – and which is continuing to happen to children in bits of Britain politicians and journalists seldom think of yet alone visit .
I would never recommend a BBC programme – but Wednesday night sees the broadcast of a report on anti semitism in the Labour Party ….
I bet Kim Darroch never knew he had such a huge following of lefty remainers who are falling over each other in trying to tell us all how great a job he was doing.
How he selflessly gave all those years in service to his country (although I’m sure the six figure salary, huge pension, massive perks and generally lording it around with lots of flunkies waiting on him hand and foot at all the parties and banquets he selflessly attended for us)
Yes, what a great man.
All the sacrifices he has made for the lumpen.
I wonder if they would all be praising him were he a leaver.
I doubt it.
Trump is draining two swamps. Ours and his.
How’s the cloning of Trump progressing? We need him now!
He may be a Bercow clone, if rather better groomed, but don’t the BBC just love spiteful, pompous little ‘Sir’ Alan Duncan – a more absurd knight of the realm must be difficult to conceive.
This diminutive clown has piled into Boris at every opportunity of late, nibbling away like a rat at his feet, and with the entirely well merited resignation of our man in Washington, he’s now in his element.
Along with the other once knightly absurdity, John Major, with his latest blather about unconstitutional behavior – how he has the temerity to mention that with his record of ‘achievement’ is totally beyond belief – we are left with one question: What on earth have we as a nation done to deserve such spurious, traitorous, self-promoting scumbags?
Anyone see the little treasure on the 6 o’clock news? Tight lipped bravura performance on a ‘Thcweam and thcweam and thtamp my foot, Borith wath nathty to me’ bathis. Sorry, basis.
Hard luck Galahad, no BAFTA. Try the Guardian, they’ll love you.
Sir John Major ‘Once nightly’?
Edwina told us he was a much more manly man than that!
Sokay I’ve not eaten breakfast yet.
You might well ask your question Beltane, what have we done to deserve all this you put? Sheer bloody evilness that has slowly crept over us these past 45 yrs aided and abetted in belonging to the Socialist European Union now about on its last feet, allowing communistic elements to enter our politics and the duplicity of our traiterous politicians stretching far beyond our imaginations supported by the power of money, lent to the UK at low rates, to be lent out at extorionate rates to the gullable public eventually pushing the cost of living way beyond the once common demoninator that gave us all the price of bread and cheese-now we have starvation in our own country because of it-indig white folk sleeping rough, some starving to death and goodness knows what else-yes we (society) is in a terrible mess, maybe just maybe a light is there to help us if we are able to leave the EU and start paddling our canoes to a better shape. BUT immigration from outside Europe must be halted forthwith otherwise we will sink under the rule of Islam.
Much is predictably being made of HE Sir Darroch’s superb record of diplomatic achievement while in Washington, during which he met President Trump several times and ‘always found him charming’ – which just goes to show that he does actually understand the job description when it suits.
Less time is spent covering the period from 2007-2011 he spent in Brussels as the chief UK Representative, four years enjoying the EU gravy and no doubt laying the foundations of his firmly remainer stance. Another failing from Tereesa – unless of course he was doing just what she wanted at the time.
Let us hope that more will follow S’kim Dorroch as the swamp is drained

BBC News webpage comment: “The economy grew 0.3% from the month before, after declining 0.4% in April, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS)….
But economists say that June’s growth figures will have to be strong to avoid contraction in the second quarter.”
We economists are known for our lack of maths ability, but 0.1% is hardly strong.

Svante Arrhenius produced the most damaging and expensive mistake in the history of science. His carbon-dioxide Global warming formula DOES NOT WORK on planets with carbon-dioxide atmospheres. However, the Ideal Gas Law DOES WORK for the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Venus.
The adjustments are justified by NOAA on the basis that those Computer Models based on the EXPENSIVE MISTAKE are more reliable than raw data. Therefore the loonies have taken over the Administration, so no one in Astronomy can now trust the official temperature records for the Earth.

UK/Canadian gov promote Free Speech ???
Global Conference for Media Freedom: London 2019
10 and 11 July

Is that code for Illuminati aka Soros & Co.?
Free speech, so long as it’s the right sort of speech.
Oh I was reading the Times
I had not realised that Ezra was in London, I just assumed he was in Canada.
so stupid me was tweeting him about the London conference.
I see he’s a couple of weeks younger than me, but for some reason I assumed from looking at him that he was winding down a career rather than merely hitting his stride.
I suppose they’d have longer paper rounds in Canada than over here wouldn’t they?
Popcorn time alarm
Guido is reporting that Isabel oakshotte – (excellent Brexiter journo ) who broke the story about the ex ambo to the USA in the Mail – is to sue The hideous Crace of The Guardian because he said the only way she got the leak was by sleeping with someone ( words to that effect ) which ~ `The Guardian published .
Crazy Times .
The Guardian has until Friday PM to apologise and pay up – which of course they must do unless they want to be bankrupted through losing a clear defamation – as well as of course – hurtful sexism – from The Guardian ……

Evan Davis on R4 news at 5, obviously delighted to hammer away at Boris, assisted by Cur Alan Duncan.
Some very creative manipulation here, as Hunt turns out to be Mr Wonderful, and Boris the baddie.
How very, very predictable.
Don’t know why I bother to listen….
(Of course, beeb think they can get at Trump and Boris at one and the same time. Two birds with one stone. You can sense the glee. A foretaste of things to come?)
Fake,
You can’t fail to hear how much slime there is at the BBC today. I have been reducing my listening for my mental health 🙂
5pm news – Boris is bad, poor diplomat he is a lovely self deprecating chap wonderful sense of humour (cue another numpty in HoL) – Trump is bad Boris is bad again.
The narrative is just tedious now. I hope Boris wins by a land slide – gets Brexit and does a trade deal with USA including chickens – the BBC will go into melt down

“Daniel Hannan: For Brexit to work, power must be stripped from the quangocrats – and returned to people we elect”
Yes Dan, but we were promised a “Bonfire of the QANGOs” by one David Cameron nearly a decade ago, not happened yet.
Not happened yet because there is a more urgent task, clear all the Lefty “Conservatives” out of the party PERMANENTLY, because these are the people who are blocking all genuine Conservative activities.
You might have a look on BBBC yourself Dan.
The good people here have made many suggestions for curing the current malaise, because the QANGOs are far from the only problem.
#1 Because it is the most important, Islam is incompatible with European values. Muslims need to be returned, willingly or unwillingly, to the home of their ancestors. PDQ.
#2 The public sector has never been fit for purpose and needs root and branch pruning.
Proscribe Comon Purpose as an enemy organisation, sack everybody associated with it.
#3 It is no use privatising the public sector without a new attitude to the private sector. I favour a 10% Carrot, 90% stick, approach.
3.1 Stop tax avoidance by big business, the only reason this has not been done is because politicians are
taking bribes.
3.2 Crooked businessmen and bankers need to spend decades in jail.
#4 Re-introduce compulsory National Service RFN, we need the largest military possible, stop aid to pay for this.
There is much more Dan, but this is todays homework.
Why are consecutive spaces ignored? I find it impossible to format my posts as I would like.
Ugandan lesbian farce
2009 comes to UK overstays
Then claims asylum on the grounds that as a lesbian she will be beheaded in Uganda
2013 HO rejects that onbthe grounds there’s no proper evidence she is a lesbian, as when they raided her flat she was was in bed with a man
they detained her for a month and deported her.
Now a judge says she must be brought back, as she wasn’t given enough time.
FFS 6 years later !
The Ugandan anti gay laws only came in in 2014
Shouldn’t we
#1 say no you can’t claim asylum after overstaying, cos you overstaying means you broke the law.
#2 Not allow ourselves to blackmailed by fear of harm.
We simply cut aid to Uganda if they don’t properly protect their citizens that we deport.

Conference on media freedom.
Some members of the media -RT and Sputnik – not allowed.
According to the Foreign Office its because they spread inaccurate information
I look forward to the Moslems and Trots speaking for the BBC
“According to the Foreign Office its because they spread inaccurate information”
Erm hello? BBC! Foreign Office not too clever eh.
RT are a highly biased extension of the Kremlin, yet often speak more truth than the world’s most trusted. (When it suits Putin of course.)
>GWF – “I look forward to the Moslems and Trots speaking for the BBC”
look forward?..started at least a decade ago.
p.s. I switched my irony filter off a week or so ago so maybe I have missed something in your post. I come in peace btw …well most mornings 😉
I understand that Mrs Disaster Chamberlain is going to appoint the next ambassador to the USA before she leaves ?
If so, expect him to have ‘Remainer’ tendencies. Nowt on Al Beeb yet but perhaps they will catch up when their researcher reads this post ?
Seems a natural for HE Sir Vincent Cable, a man steeped in diplomacy, especially as regards his CV.

Panorama tonight at 9 covers the knotty little problem of anti-Semitism within the Labour party with an hour’s worth of intrepid, in-depth and brutally honest reporting.
Anyone prepared to lay odds on a certain religio-ethnic group not getting a mention? Or influencing decisions and policy based on potential voter numbers? Or supporting the avowed intention of eradicating the state of Israel? Anyone? Hello?
I think that the BBC are ditching their favourite Party by stabbing them in the back with Panorama and getting into bed with the Lib Dems. (No photos please!).
Blair was always regarded as preferable by the BBC.
Beltane – I’m watching the programme as I write . You judged right in relation to the real motivation .
Upto 45 minutes in – Islam / Muslim is not a word which has been used . And the motivation for anti-Semitism within their Party has been ‘ sketched ‘ under anti capitalism / pro Palestine .
45 minutes in the programme turns to shabby shami – baroness of legal aid
Not BBC but same swamp. ITV News understands that Sir Kim watched the debate….
It’s all Boris’s fault that Sir Kim has resigned.
Always someone else’s fault than the person who did the deed.
Merkel shakes again.
The remark I liked in the BBC report was this
‘Video footage shows Mrs Merkel trembling, shaking back and forth alongside Finland’s prime minister during a ceremony in Berlin on Wednesday.
After the incident, Mrs Merkel said she was “very well” and there was “no need to worry”.
Phew. I was starting to worry
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48938691
Maybe she has a robot double as a stand in for events she can’t be bothered with and the wiring had a short circuit.
Some say Theresa May has a human double that stands in for the Maybot on occasion, but I don’t believe that it’s too far fetched.
Oh wait, I’ve figured it out. Merkel put the wrong teeth in!
We are all very worried.
Perhaps they should stop playing the German anthem, cos that’s when it happens.
Interesting.
I think she’s going to give the phrase ‘clinging on to power’ great significance.
Meanwhile, she’s managed to wangle a nice job for her buddy, Ursula v d Leyen at the EU. She is best known in Germany for being vague and achieving little. Only her key agenda is clear: 50% female staff at the Commission.
Who knows, she may eventually end up back in Germany as successor to her current boss…
….maybe we could find out whassup man?..she could be an interviewee on a new series of Parkinson..(s?)
Deary me !!! How desperate ???
Another problem for certain members of the Labour party. If they support a ‘judicial review’ will some see it as pro-Jewish?
Meanwhile, back at the conference on media freedom Ezra Levant asks a question about Tommy Robinson.
The idea of a media freedom conference in the UK might be akin to Remainers saying they agree with the outcome of a fair democratic referendum
The UK is long past Press Freedom – except for approved types of Freedom of course . No journalistic interest in this kind of website of course —which for a biased MSM might be for the best .
Thoughts are with TR tonight – a political prisoner in Britain in 2019 – however the State dresses it up .
‘No not we’re not avoiding the question’
“So to get back on your question about Tommy Robinson: Putting aside Tommy Robinson…and talking in general”
The UN guy said he didn’t know about Tommy
A commenter disagreed
\\ .. they all know about Tommy, they’re not free to talk.//
The UN guy did reasonably say thst these internet companies were over censoring
and we’d be appall if governments did what they do.
He had won the victory over himself. He pulled the “Jerry Christmas” jumper* over his head and felt the warmth that Labour would bring now and in the future, free and at no cost to no one.
(reference to Orwell 1984)
I’m trying to work out why the BBC would do a hatchet job on Labour – it’s best friend -over anti Semitism in the Labour Party .
Maybe it was made before Labour came out as Remain . Or maybe the real target is the red Tory party not liking Islam very much in a forthcoming programme .
As has been discussed here earlier the real issue is about getting Muslim votes by being hostile to Jews and Israel .
Nothing will come of this . But the idea that Labour sent the chair of Labour Friends of Israel – one Andrew Gwynne? – as its mouthpiece was quite funny – only because you could see how rehearsed his answers were and how ambitious this creature must be to climb the hierarchy of the Labour Party .
Those who got any easy time ?
Shami – Lammy – the muslims
Corbyn is not a good leader. New blood … lammy or Abbott.
per’lease..
two intellectuals from Lie-bour..
now who’d a thunk it!i
I think that Labour chasing the Muslim vote will be of no benefit to them in the long run anyway as it’s only a matter of time before a proper Muslim party is formed, similar to Denk in Holland which was formed after a split from the Dutch Labour Party, and every Muslim in Britain votes for it, at least once, as directed.
Imagine London and swathes of the North being represented solely by MPs from an openly Islamist, pro-Palestine, pro-Erdogan, pro-Iran, pro-Sharia, anti-Jewish party that aren’t Labour. Their media/ propaganda wing is already up and running isn’t it?
To answer your question Fedup – which is more than Panorama managed in an hour of issue-skirting – the hatchet job is obviously Part 1.
Part 2, on islamaphobia within the Tory party, will provide a balanced and entirely subjective view of the benefits gained from exposure to the world’s most peaceful and beneficial socio-religious movement.
The programme will be a few days before the PM vote result and contain repeated references to ‘letter boxes’, ‘positive integration’ and ‘unfair bias based on prejudice’.
Unlike Labour/anti-Semitism – which asked no embarrassing questions on the ‘why’ theme, the matter being best left unsaid – Part 2 will clearly show that the whole Conservative edifice is endemically racist and that one of Boris’ first moves on assuming the premiership will be the re-introduction of slavery. And fox hunting, of course.
PS Sorry Feds, should have read your second para – but it shows we have the same premonition!

Are London stabbings becoming so frequent that they don’t get reported by Al Beeb anymore ?
Another one today.
Taffman
Short answer – yes . The London Evening Standard reports some – mainly I think – to inform motorists of bits of Londonistan where the roads are closed for 12 hours or more .
I filter my reports here because we are primarily about biased BBC as opposed to London violent crime .
It gets a bit tricky to withhold comment when the violence is very close to where I live .
There is no reason to think that violence in London is likely to be reduced any time in the foreseeable future and my view that homicides will increased at over 10 per cent each year still holds .
The BBC will just report the occasional 12 year old being killed or some other feature which makes it ‘ notable ‘ .
Fedup2
Its has just gone up on Al Beeb’s webpage (16min).
They must have reacted having seen it being discussed here ?

Thanks Taffman – I saw the original report but didn’t know he died 6 hours after the stabbing – which was reported as ‘ multiple ‘so someone really meant it .
I’m sure the Mayor will have something to say about it
“Sir Kim Darroch: UK ambassador to US resigns in Trump leaks row”
Some Tories blame Boris, but was it his fault or the leaker? Or was the ‘leak’ released under orders from a higher authority ?
An order issued to deliberately sour relations between the UK and the USA.
With a bit of luck war will be declared between the Labour Party and the BBC . It won’t come to much because the NUJ is an extension of the Labour Party – thus BBC journos will be reminded of their ‘ responsibilities ‘ and the issue buried by further attacks on just about anything or anyone else .
\\Next PM Question Time special on BBC ‘unlikely to go ahead’//

jeez..das’ma Auntie Ami!..I cannae believe it!! so I can’t.
What qualifies as memorable?
I ask only because BBC Radio 4’s brief news at 19:00 (before The Archers) decided that the elimination from the Wimbledon tournament of the mixed doubles pairing of Andy Murray and Serena Williams, after a “memorable run”, was newsworthy.
For those who don’t follow Radio 4, this news is very brief, unlike the longer prog’s at 18:00 or ‘PM’ from 17:00. Why this story is more “memorable” than New Zealand’s excellent win over highly-rated India in the cricket 50-over World Cup semi-final, is beyond me! Also, as Murray & Serena (or ‘Murena’ as they have been nauseatingly called on the BBC Sport website) only got to the last 16, in what sense was it even a “run”? If 8 pairs contest the quarter-finals, how can reaching the last 16 really be a “run”, as the numbers remaining in must roughly follow the pattern 64> 32> 16> 8> 4> 2> Winners? How many pairs were involved? I imagine somewhere between 64 and 128, with some pairs perhaps getting a Round 1 bye.
Is the interest in the scratch pairing of Murray & S Williams because it fits in with the BBC/Marxist agenda of promoting Black people (e.g. Serena, Coco Gauff, Venus W, et al) and subtly hinting at racial mixing with a Black/White partnership?
Fantasy for a women’s doubles pairing for 2020: Heather Watson (British interest, plus mixed race, but maybe a bit too hideously White) and Megan Rapinoe (gay, anti-Trump, obsessed with enforced gender equal pay, LGBTQI activist, foul-mouthed, “role model”, etc).

Old Bailey “Defend the children of the poor and punish the wrongdoer”.
Maybe Nick Robinson ( real name Nicholas Yaxley-Lennon) might tweet that one in support of Tommy Robinson?
Sir Kim Darroch made his decision to resign after realising that he was up the creek without a paddle but decided to try to take down Boris to become a martyr and make more cronies of the same ilk.

A bit melodratic? How’s the hunt for the leaker coming along?
Probably meant well, but some at the BBC may wish she had rephrased that.
TOADY Watch #1 – Ambassador Kim Ill-Gone
Ooops! BBC give the game away. Purpose of the leaks? Anti-Brexit and Anti-Boris. Period.
I note, digg, that The Guardian was doing exactly that in the last few days with the so-called ‘Novichok’ and Charlie Rowley.
Not sure why the above post has been shifted here. Software glitch? Should be under digg’s post below.
Only tangentially linked to Al Beeb because he used to work for them and understands how they work, but Rod Liddle’s piece in today’s Speccie is, as so often, alone worth the subscription.
Rod is jokingly seeking to have the use of ‘football’ in reporting of hooligan behaviour declared a hate crime, in much the same way as the MCB seeks to have ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’ removed from reporting of Islamist atrocities. He concludes –
“To link Masood with Islam, to say he is a Muslim, is — by the MCB’s definition — Islamophobic and thus a hate crime. To not do so, meanwhile, is to my mind an outright denial of reality. But we are accustoming ourselves to denying reality on an almost daily basis these days, so I suppose one shouldn’t be surprised.”
Well worth a read.
Thanks for the heads up. Yes Rod makes an excellent point.
TOADY Watch #2 – Ambassador Kim Ill-Gone
The BBC on R4 start spreading disinformation á là mode Skripal. Did anyone else notice between 6.30 and 7.30a.m. how e-mails have suddenly become ‘cables’ and ‘memos’?
That ploy is so typical of them, they must have a whole department just looking and advising on how to keep the narrative skewed.
I note, digg, that The Guardian was doing exactly that in the last few days with the so-called ‘Novichok’ and Charlie Rowley.
BBC Morning news reports that according to the CBI, Companies are on target to have 33% of Women in senior roles but say that some think this is a “box ticking” exercise and not enough.
Nothing of course to do with experience, competence etc. just gender balance.
Lets imagine the same theory applied to NHS surgeons who I imagine currently have larger male profile..
Just promote nurses, catering staff and cleaners to become heart surgeons overnight and call them consultants until there is a 50/50 gender spit and overnight we will then have the utopia of happy diversity, what could go wrong?.
Good luck with employing women on a scaffolding team.
Especially if they choose to wear their religious garments
TOADY Watch #3 – Mishal interrupts Michael.
Michael Howard is brought in to comment on John Major’s plan to go to law to halt Brexit. Mishal is rather quicker to interrupt than she was when talking to Major yesterday. Mishal doesn’t like Michael Howard’s reply about a No-Deal Brexit! Another BBC give-away.
BBC; you are so transparent as to be becoming invisible
Vlad, I think this post from the US recognises the contribution diversity makes to to society and how we all benefit from it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the BBC uses it in one of their ‘trailers’ to promote multiculturalism.
Toady
Tom Watson calmly explaining that as deputy leader of the Labour Party he knows nothing about how anti semitism in the Labour Party are dealt with
Even worse -he didn’t see the submission by the Labour Party to the Equalities Commission .
I’m surprised Baroness Shabi didn’t get a walk on part as she is usually the ‘ go to ‘ for the BBC .
I suspect she , and creatures like her , will keep her head down for as long as possible .
The causes of this labour attitude is still ignored . The BBC won’t link it to Islam .
Anything which causes people to doubt voting for Labour is only a good thing
Cass,
I can’t find the entrance to this wonderful utopian place where devilsden lives so, please may I be given directions. Don’t tell me: ‘Cannabis or cocaine will be the key’.
Had Radio 1 on in the car earlier. ( i know, how trendy).
They had a jokey feature where a robot hoover predicts the winner of todays cricket between England and Australia. Greg James announces that there are 2 former “legends” of the game on the phone to share the moment.
Who could they be ? Ian Botham, Alan Lamb, Mark Waugh, Alec Stewart, Dominic Cork, Adam Gilchrist ????? So many legends to choose from ……. so, who do the BBC get on as the “legends” ???
Michael Vaughan (fine) and ….i kid you not….Ellyse Perry ( think) from the Womens game !!!! Yeah, a real legend !!!
The PC agenda is pathetic and relentless.
Good to see that London’s mayor Sadiq Khan has thrown his weight behind the condemnation of anti-Semitism within the Labour party.
He also believes that irony is an over-rated ‘western’ concept.
It should be noted that none of the newspaper reviews on BBC text pages mention the Panorama programme – which is odd since it ended at 10pm, well within normal Fleet St. deadlines. Still, maybe not so important, after all.
Beltane – I thought he’d be busy with the latest stabbing murder in London on Wednesday – the ‘rate ‘ seems to be up to one every day

Belthane,
“London’s mayor Sadiq Khan has thrown his weight behind the condemnation of anti-Semitism within the Labour party.” I wonder how his co-cultists will feel about that in his local mosque. Did I ever tell you that when I lived/worked in Saudi, I purchased a Bartholomew’s Atlas from a local book store. The cellophane outer wrapper was opened on every copy on the shelf. When I got it home I realised that each package had been opened and in every copy, a black marker pen had been used to erase any reference to Israel. Including the index in the back. The hatred is endemic.
Those fiendish Corbynites get in everywhere.
Beltane,
