Weekend Thread 28 September 2019

This week two BBC TV current affairs presenters have been found to be overtly biased by their own corrupt organisation . Naga manchetty falsely accused President trump of being a racist . Emily Maitliss was found to have ‘bullied’ an interviewee on Newsnight .

It remains to be seen whether this will have any effect on these biased women and whether BBC discipline procedures are of any value at all. To add even more heat – plenty of non white lefty journalists are ganging up on the BBC complaints department

Brexit is becoming even more heated and I’d like to thank everyone contributing to this site for the restraint they are showing as we watch the country being turned into a dictatorship .

    Will the guy knocking on Jess Phillips closed office windows, end up charged ?

    In the Owen Jones incident after 10 weeks there are still no charges,
    but yesterday he tweeted
    “Quick update: three men have been arrested,
    the police have two lots of CCTV of the attack,
    and I’m waiting on the @cpsuk regarding charges.
    I hope they don’t take too long,
    because FAR RIGHT conspiracy theories (“he made it all up”)

      StewGreen,

      Will the guy knocking on Jess Phillips closed office windows, end up charged ?

      Yes he’s been charged with a section 5 public order offence. Which is a bit more serious than just “knocking on windows”.

      In the Owen Jones incident after 10 weeks there are still no charges,

      It wasn’t an “incident” it was an attack and it happened 6 weeks ago, not 10. Before the arrests you described it as “fishy as heck”.

      Why do you do this, Stew?

      Do you remember when a plot to murder Rosie Cooper was uncovered (for which Jack Renshaw was jailed for 8 years)? You similarly dismissed that as “fishy” and joked; “she might well die of natural causes before the plotters succeeded.

      Why do you do this Stew?

      Do you remember when someone drove their car into a crowd of protestors in Charlottesville (for which James Alex Fields was jailed for life)?

      Oh, what a surprise, you described it as “fishy” and suggested it; “could be like his foot slipped on the accelerator

      Why do you do this Stew?

      What do the alleged attackers of Owen Jones, Jack Renshaw and James Alex Fields have in common I wonder; apart from you leaping to their defence?

        Ah Maxi is there trying to score small points
        “he’s been charged with a section 5 public order offence”
        .. which is way less than the breaking and entering that it was made out to be
        “uses threatening [or abusive] words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour,”
        “It is punishable with a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale[5] (£1,000 as of 2015).”
        15 people/day are prosecuted , about a third get off

        Maxi It is quite common for hyped news stories not to live up to their hyperbolic initial reporting so it is entirely reasonable to think things are fishy, when media reporting dries up
        “*dismiss* as fishy” that’s a strawman
        I do not *dismiss*, I merely point out when something seems fishy
        I am always entirely open to proper evidence emerging.
        Of course you can just choose to highlight the cases when someone does end up charged and ignore those that just fade into the media background.
        We are still waiting for the Owen Jones guys to be charged.
        Jones was attacked on the night of the 16th of August so, that is just short of 8 weeks ago

          Furthermore Maxi like the BBC has a habit of giving us half the story
          So that people walk away with an impression that the BBC narrative is true
          here Maxi tries to constructive a narrative
          It is outrageous to say I “simply dismiss” things, I don’t
          Furthermore to support his false premise Maxi gives cherrypicked short quotes when he could easily give fuller context that show the quotes don’t actually support his premise.
          eg I certainly did not joke about a plot against Rosie Cooper
          I merely analysed an early newspaper report where the plot did not seem what it was made out to be .
          Yes subsequently he was convicted for plotting .

    I’ve been reflecting on the overall scheme of things and I am getting more encouraged.

    We have been subjected to the most intensive brainwashing in history by a coalition of the BBC, Channel 4, The Guardian, The Independent, Almost all the USA media, the UN, the EU, the Climate bandwagon of self elected pompous fools and of course the Democrats in the USA, all trying to ram their rabid version of state control, socialism or even communism (with them at the helm) down our throats for at least the past 4 years. They have distorted news, fabricated scare stories, used racism, sexism, genderism even children as weapons and much more.

    And the result?

    In my opinion they have failed miserably and got the exact reverse of what they wanted, witness the rise of Trump and his blue-collar supporters, the miserable state of the Labour and Lib Dem parties, the rising popularity of Johnson, the inevitable progress to Brexit, the near desperate devious plots of the left in politics.

    It seems like all they have tried to do has worked against them and I for one am overjoyed.

    They are suffering at the hands of those they despised and belittled despite the fact that these same people produce the wealth they so greedily grab with inflated salaries etc.

    Yes the average Joe has wised up and a very quiet and dignified revolution is taking place. Long may it continue.

          I would agree if their mind is made up about what is right and what is wrong. As I mentioned before, I have heard plenty of people who voted Remain stating that, knowing what they know now, they would vote Leave.
          However, I’ve never heard anyone who voted to Leave state that they would now vote Remain.
          The constant lies and propaganda just makes people more determined not to be shafted by the Remainer establishment.

        taffman, and a lot of all the people, the ones on the losing side in the EU Referendum, are very decent people, very sharp, very aware people, and they value the UK’s democracy above everything else and are keen to respect the result of the Referendum even though they voted Remain.*

        *Source: Lance Forman MEP London (which ‘some’ like to remind us voted overwhelmingly to Remain in the EU.) Think he suggested on TWatO this lunchtime that the proportion of the 48% wanting to support the EU Ref result was over half – either that or 25% of the London Remain voters now want to support leaving the EU. Or somewhere between those two extremes. The former would tie up with what Prof. Curtice has been suggesting on R4 recently.

      Digg,
      The “average Joe” has progressively been emasculated in every respect and that’s been happening for well > 4 years. From what I can gather, the gathering demise of the ‘West’ started in the 60’s just after use of the familiar expression, “Red’s under the bed” lost common currency. Those that believe firmly in communism went underground and plotted, and plotted. Secretly at first infiltrating every important organisation or, setting up an organisation to pursue their aims where there was none. So-called, ‘Charities’. In the early days, came the likes of ‘Stonewall’ bent on the Marxist principle of destroying the family by subverting all the values of the public that had been held sacrosanct for previous decades if not centuries. That’s now flourished and blossomed into the nonsense of gender and other Marxist supporters have taken the principle on to further aka our State Broadcaster. And so, we arrive at 2019. It appears that the ‘people’ are becoming more confused with the barrage of information that few understand. They aren’t angry enough – yet – but that must change if there was someone or something to really rally around. Dare I suggest, a ‘Trump’ like character.

        G yes a lot of truth in what you write. My observations are that around 1970 it started to change, I guess that was when “woke” was an embryo.

        It seems to me that the majority of citizens born after that time see only bad stuff, even though they have been the most feather-bedded and entitled generation in history.

        Maybe that’s it! If you have never experienced for instance: power cuts, strikes, 3 day weeks, industrial action, picketing and even war and your life is stuffed full of goodies your appreciation and tolerance is reduced to zero.

        Hence the Brexit reaction, I think they are all scared stiff of the approach of something they don’t understand and have never known. Self-reliance and Self determination!

          there does seem a gradual slide into citizen dependency that just didn’t existing decades ago. Victims now abound individually and in large groups suffering from mainly self inflicted or non existing situations. Self help, as a concept, has all but been demonised as are those who expound such virtue.
          For example, child obesity up to age 10-11 is 22% for boys and 18% for girls with both groups @ 14% overweight in addition.

            Call me old fashioned, but I think it reflects a lack of respect for authority resulting from a lack of discipline. It was the left who started with all this nonsense about not smacking your kids and using the softly softly approach.
            When I was young I wouldn’t have dared speak to my father in the way that the kids do nowadays, or a copper. I’d have got a clip round the ear. Discipline tought me respect and was a deterrent to getting mixed up with the wrong crowd.
            I honestly believe that when all this nonsense began, we should have told the left to go and do one and not tolerated it. The PC brigade ought to have been laughed out of town, but thanks to the likes of the biased BBC trumpeting their “causes”, society has gradually allowed the idiot minority causes too much of a voice. Now they have become emboldened. We gave them an inch and they took the whole yardstick and bashed us over the head with it!
            The kids of today are, metaphorically, wrapped in cotton wool and spoilt rotten.

      I do hope you are right in your assessment and that you are not being over optimistic in how ordinary folks like us see the situation. I think that we on this site fully understand that the establishment is anti democratic and will stop at nothing to get their way and protect their privileged position and power. This is my fear , the elite will either continue to ignore the democratic outcomes which they don’t like , or , more likely, gerrymander any votes, elections , referenda . They will use the MSM as a mass propaganda organ. I know we all think that is what the BBC has been doing for decades but I fear that we ain’t seen nothing yet. The courts , police and intelligence services will be deployed to investigate and imprison dissenters and particularly their leaders. The education system will continue to brainwash young folks into supporting globalism. Getting rid of the establishment by democratic means within the next decades or so , has, in my opinion , only a 50% chance of success. We may well be saddled with them for many years to come whether the majority likes it or not.

    These BAME people, like Munchetty, are deliberately mis-quoting Trump. Like linguistic archaeologists, they find, within his words, the offence they constantly seek. This ‘incontrovertible truth’ or ‘offence’ then forms a basis, a foundation, to push their own agenda – demands to change the BBC, increased diversity etc etc…

    It’s exactly the same as:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49854569

    Where Amber Rudd accuses the PM of inciting violence. He did nothing of the sort (I’m no fan of BJ either), yet he has been branded a Nazi, fascist and worse with no recourse. Shouts of liar and fraud are shrieked at him across the chamber and all of us who voted Brexit have Been labelled far worse.

    Offence, it seems to me, is the preserve of the left and they wield it with such power through The Bias BBC.

    Or will the UK side say you have to park up for a few months ‘cos we’re not letting you in.

    In the US Fox has been tacking to a less supportive position of the President for some time. But today the ex leader of the Republican senate, Paul Ryan is calling on them to break entirely with President Trump and join the hyenas in the rest of the MSM . Couple this with the purchase of the Express by the Mirror group last year and with the replacement of Paul Dacre as editor of the Daily Mail with a rabid Remainer , a pattern begins to emerge. The MSM which has been 90% plus pro Globalist for years is now moving to extinguish even the glimmer of any pluralism , stamp out any source of news and comment other than that approved by the Globalist elite. We can add to this the continued censorship of any right of centre internet sites and we can see that they are determined to achieve total control of the news agenda worldwide. It is scary stuff.

    I am struggling to work out the logic of this as Bargain Hunt is by it’s nature likely to be viewed mainly by quite old folk.

    I am imagining the scenario……

    Producer: “Hey we are losing viewers – the young are not watching BBC any more, we have to do something”

    Assistant: “Maybe it’s because the young are not interested in old Tat sir?”

    Producer: “What would pull them in then?”

    Assistant: “Oh drugs, computer games, music and stuff…”

    Producer: “Well we can only manage the music thing, lets get some stars in as contestants”

    Assistant: “We couldn’t afford it sir, they cost zillions and we just had to pay Gary Lineker his salary!”

    Producer: “Well lets get some cheap old ones then! Then we will be able to interview them on the News afterwards to show how wake we are”

    Brendon was right in saying that their should be riots in the streets.
    Their won’t be of course because most Brexiteers are sensible law abiding citizens. That is what the remain ‘Brexit Deniers’ are banking on.

    No more – we have a champion at last – ‘The Boris’ – god love him.

    The common theme is that these are youngish women and are empowered, and very angry. Jessie Philips comes to mind – she is taking a lot of stick but maybe she should consider her past actions and language.

    This is just tendentious nonsense and Amber Rudd should know better than to clamber onto the bandwagon and make a fool of herself….and yet the BBC makes it headline, the top headline, news….

    ‘Amber Rudd accuses Number 10 of language that ‘incites violence”

    What language exactly?

    ‘On Wednesday, Labour’s Paula Sherriff referred to Jo Cox, the MP murdered in 2016, as she pleaded with the prime minister to refrain from using “dangerous” words like “surrender”.
    The prime minister was also repeatedly challenged over his use of the words “surrender bill” and “surrender act” to describe legislation passed earlier this month ‘

    Er…that’s it? Perfectly harmless and perfectly descriptive phrases? Disgraceful that the BBC pushes this narrative and continues to play this game for Remain and Labour.

    The fact that the BBC never ever challenges this narrative and instead puts in headlines without any questions as to whether this is in fact reality amply shows how untrustworthy, how partisan and how political the BBC really is…and which side it is on.

    What really incites anger is two-faced, lying, shameless, duplicitous, hypocritical, treacherous, disloyal, back-stabbing MPs who undermine democracy, dishonour Parliament and betray this country in favour of a foreign power which threatens to unleash the IRA upon us.

    I think I need to post another Non BBC Brexit post so people know what is going on with parliament.

    There are three possible options at the moment

    Leave without a deal
    Leave with a deal
    Remain

    With the surrender bill we theoretically cannot leave without a deal without the PM asking for yet another interminable delay to Brexit.

    In theory we know that the PM could possibly get the EU to give a better deal to the UK, he would at that point thanks to Gina Millar have to bring this back to parliament for their approval.

    The Labour Party / SNP / Tory Rebels have all said they intend to vote against any deal, even if it is they themselves who have negotiated it, making leaving with a deal an impossibility. Leaving without a deal is also impossible unless the EU completely loses patience with the lunatic games remainers are playing.

    This is a catch 22 where the UK can’t leave without a deal, and can’t leave with a deal because it would never be approved.

        I’ll admit – there have been some aspects of TRs past which I don’t like . But the mass media Remainer Broadcasting corpse continued editorial referencing to “ Yaxley Lennon “ wasn’t there to inform the public – it was there to cause his whole view to be treated with suspicion from the outset – to prejudice a view of him .

        So when I write out the full name of a proven biased employee of the state broadcaster – i am racist bigoted and an idiot white supremist. So easy for people to see what they want to see isn’t it ?

    TWatO Watch #1 and only – sorry bit late, had things to do

    Mark Mardell was in the Beeb seat but not in charge. Matt Hancock (Con) Sec. of State for Health (loser in leadership contest and ‘some would say’, heretofore, just plain loser) was the Sacrificial Goat (as it is Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur will be along on 8/9th October) put up for a battering by Mardell.

    Something h-hhas h happened to h hHancock.

    He was robust. He was tough. Mardell couldn’t bully him into conceding to BBC/Socialist rage and into apologising for a very correct definition of the Benn Bill as a Surrender Bill. He could not drag a soundbite out of Hancock that the PM had lied to the Queen or would ignore the law.

    Mark Mardell went down, no scores, with h h hHancock h h hhitting the back of the net three times. Mardell 0 : 3 Hancock.

    I don’t know what has happened. Maybe at long last someone in Central Office has arranged some coaching in how to handle the BBC and other hostile media types. Perhaps it is a Cummings Effect with Dominic inducing some steel and some interview skills into the people who have to be available for interview. Whatever. It appears to be working well. Long may it continue.

    Before that match Mardell had with Hancock, he had gone down 0 : 2 to a MEP, Lance Forman, from The Brexit Party. Oh dear! Twice in one programme.

    The thing is, I made a slight alteration. The article is not from 2019 but from 1997 and the accused was not Mr Johnson, it was Mr Major!!!

    So the article actually reads
    ‘Labour is expected to accuse Mr Major of proroguing parliament for the longest period since 1918 simply to avoid the embarrassing findings being published’.

    I think readers will agree that as hypocrites go, this puts Remoaner Major right at the top of the pile. Something which the BBC mysteriously seems not to have noticed.

    They completely avoided his controversial ‘ you should be dead in a ditch’ line
    instead the beeboid said “You don’t think you were unnecessarily aggressive ?”
    They gave him a lot of rope
    Beeboid “Was the filming a stitch u[p, how come you were being filmed ?”
    KT “I have been filmed with a camera following me for the last two weeks by a freelance film maker making a documentary”
    Then after a few seconds …”I’d no idea I was being filmed at the time when I spoke to Dominic Cummings, the filmmaker had whipped out his iPhone when he saw Dominic Cummings”.

    ‘Man held over MP Jess Phillips ‘fascist’ abuse at Birmingham office’

    Looks like it was a fascist giving Phillips some ‘fascist’ abuse doesn’t it? But that’s not the reality…it was a man calling Phillips a fascist…now who would do that? A Brexiteer driven to extreme political violence by Boris’ call to arms as he shouted ‘surrender’ from the ramparts or a hard-left Corbynista…the same Corbynistas that have been harassing and attacking Labour women for years now?

    Why has the BBC not mentioned the abuse she has been getting from Corbynistas? Because the BBC wants you to think this is linked to Boris and his inflammatory and violent language.

    Jess Phillips should not be attacked for making her loyalty to Labour conditional
    https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/jess-phillips-times-interview-labour-loyalty-independent-group-a8817401.html

    ‘Jess is asked whether she will leave the Labour Party, as I and others have done. She responded: “I feel like I can’t leave the Labour Party without rolling the dice one more time. I owe it that. But it doesn’t own me. It’s nothing more than a logo if it doesn’t stand for something that I actually care about – it’s just a f***ing rose.” You can imagine the reaction from the Corbynite left online which this provoked.

    For her frankness and refusal to blow with whatever the Labour leadership and its army of keyboard warriors demand, she has been subject to the most horrific online abuse and yet she has never let it deter her. I get the same nonsense, but nothing like to the same degree and awfulness as many women MPs suffer.
