Start the Week Thread 21 October 2019

With 1214 days gone by since the Brexit Referendum we might have got fed up with BBC ‘benefits of Brexit ‘ programmes . But in all that time has there even been one such programme ?
Like many institutions the BBC has devalued itself through an anti democratic bias which shames the country – just like the politicians . With no sign of an end .

Happy Trafalgar Day

      Yes and many of us who are boxed as old never had a say in joining the Common market or the EU but have lived with the consequences..funny the Left and Remainers always always only see it from one side…
      On different note off BBC bias but media bias… – I listened to LBC today for a few minutes…James O’Brien is a k*ob.. I have never heard somebody so arrogant and opinionated – why would anyone ring his show unless you agreed with him – he clearly has no interest in any opinions on Brexit apart from his own.

    From the BBC
    ‘Removing Shamima Begum’s citizenship after she went to Syria left her stateless and at risk of hanging, a court has heard.’

    ——–
    There are arguments for and against hanging. In the UK hanging usually involved a method known as the ‘long drop’ where the victim fell downwards quickly, thus severing the brainstem from the spine causing instant death, as seen in the examination of Ruth Ellis’ body.
    The long drop is more humane than short drop methods of hanging in many Islamic countries where death may take a long time often a form of slow strangulation.

    I do hope that the BBC will campaign in favour of the long drop method in this case as it is far more humane than Islamic versions.

    Word of the day – “scrutiny”.

    FFS – these parasites should go back to their offices, switch off their phones and lock the doors and read the document. Instead they spend all day arguing that they don’t have enough time to do so.

    And whilst I am on the issue – if the staggeringly verbose speaker didn’t love the sound of his own voice so much and stopped playing the cameras, then they could get twice as much done.

      … He’s an arrogant little squirt – allowed the Opposition to bellow and yell continually whilst the PM/Government MPs were speaking, yet butts in to reprimand the Government bench whenever anyone tries to comment or asks for a point of order. Disgraceful performance all-round.

      I sat through Corbyn’s drivel (started watching it a couple of hours after it started so am a bit late – definitely going to run it forward in a moment as I can see Blackford and Swinson are coming up and I will not put myself through that.)

      But just wanted to mention – Duncan Smith is well worth listening to (from 15.07) he has just quoted (I think) the “U-turn” (Backlash / Steve Baker) video doing the rounds of all the traitorous MPs and quoting a couple of them! (“Why should the public believe we’ll accept the result of a second referendum – perfect! :o) Now, of course, being attacked by the lying Grieve.


      Just realized watching it later (Parliament Live stream) has advantages – you can simply skip Blackford, Soubry, Swinson, Lammy … Great for the blood pressure! :o)

    The flood of indoctrination coming from the BBC is everywhere. A look at the Food section on their website homepage top 3 features shines out:

    “Give your favourite meals a vegan twist”

    “Healthier lunchbox fillers the kids can get involved in”

    “Get your autumnal food fix with these squash recipes”

    Not a big deal in the great scheme of things but the partisan leaning of the editors shines through!

    Why is this the headline?something that happened on a rival outlet and a minor incident that happened years ago that’s if it happened at all one persons word against another only the black player heard the so called racist abuse nobody else did.

    As I previously mentioned I usually only catch small snippets of BBC radio but every time I do I seem to hear the words racist or racism.Surly it can’t be like this all day long it must just be coincidence that’s the subject whenever I switch on….usually swiftly followed by me switching off.

      I don’t know the State broadcaster stance as I watch the Parliament channel direct .

      What I do know is that the traitors will vote against the time table , bojo will withdraw the bill, call for a general election and this will be refused .

      We will be totally at the mercy of Brussells which will grant an A50 extension which the government and people doesn’t want .

      Even if the timetable is agreed and the commons vote yes on the deal the traitors in the lords will kill it .

        Fed, what you set out is right but it helps with a departure if the Bill gets put before one House and falls.

        The BBC are casting doubt on that on the w/s but I have somehow managed to avoid all R4 News today. Their loss is far greater than mine. I could get very used to enjoying the peace and quiet.

    The US Logan Act is a law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized individuals with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.
    I believe the UK should have something equivalent as the EU is essentially a foreign government with whom the UK is in current dispute.

    Currently only 4k signatures and expires November 10th.

    Perhaps sufficient supporters would get this in TBP or Conservative manifestoes so we can put some of the traitors in jail.

    The BBC’s deeply sincere response to Groper’s latest foul up…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaint/marr131019

    ***

    Summary of complaint

    We received complaints from people who felt that Andrew Marr suggested Priti Patel was laughing during their interview, because that’s what he said, even though she wasn’t. You rotters.

    Our response

    Guests who appear on the Andrew Marr show expect robust interviewing that includes back and forth between themselves and Mr Marr. Or, in this case, a crack-handed partisan snark that utterly backfired.

    Andrew Marr commented on Priti Patel laughing after he glanced up while reading a list of business leaders concerned about the impact of Brexit on their industries. He thought he saw the Home Secretary smile but now has been forced by actual reality to concede that a static expression is not ‘laughing’, and he came across as an utter tool, like usual.

    There was every intention to cause offence and we are could care less if viewers felt this to be the case because, as ever, what are you going to do, suckers? He grabbed a staffer’s butt cheek whilst rat-faced and got away with it by claiming it was due to a long day, so screwing up a play to the cheap seats isn’t going to cause a ripple in Tony’s schedule.

    Which is why the usual gaggle of anonymous BBC drones have pumped this tripe out instead of the weasel manning up and apologising himself.

        Both just heard back and were rejected.

        Worthwhile experience. They have realised that when it says ‘be honest and prompt’ with answers, if you actually want to get in spend ages thinking around what they want to hear and then lie.

        Oh and… whoever drafted the feedback rejection letter was clearly either recently off the boat, an Oxbridge grad of Lammy calibre, or a retired BBC Editor in the Norm mould, as the English was awful.

      Fed, that’s not what the BBC w/s is now saying. They have just put up Breaking News: Bercow relented, the Bill has been voted on and passed. Curiously they are giving it as occurring at 6.22pm.

      The BBC are suggesting Bojo is part way to getting his Deal Bill through but that ‘hurdles remain’.

      That weakens Bojo’s hand slightly. It would have been better if the Deal Bill was lost entirely.

    This isn’t a victory because Boris’ deal is awful. It hampers the UK and benefits the EU.

    We technically don’t leave, no trade deals can start until we have the EU consent, they can still tinker with our regulations and taxation, we have to run our foreign policy decisions past them for their approval and we HAVE to pay them a yet to be decided leaving fee which will be anywhere upwards of £39 billion.

        How did the BBC then describe it as passed yesterday, Fed?

        I’ve just checked and the Beeb are now contradicting that. I wish I had done a screen grab of some obviously FakeNews from the BBC last night. Am kicking myself for that. I did think it odd that the Breaking News (of something at 6.22pm) should go up described as such at 8pm.

        As the Bill has been paused or pulled, then so has the Amendment and the requirement for an extension to Brexit. Hence my enquiry, last night.

        Of course, it could be possible that Bojo ‘has been turned’ from being a true Brexiteer and is merely seeking (perhaps like Theresa May) some Party electoral advantage or a go as President of the EU at a future date. He will beg – as you suggested for more time – instead of the tough Clean Break option in eight days time.

    The freedoms of England diverted to a new cause. Is it just the BBC Eunuchs? Is it driven solely by the ‘de-facto’ EU legislation? Or is it BLAIRS legacy of laws (i.e. Social Engineering – the ‘Climate Change’ of Gordon Brown – and his multiple and many Social Engineering bills (until) – the money suddenly ran out and a new Conservative government voted in (inevitable when the LABOUR money runs out), none of this ‘Social Engineering’ has yet been repealed – and if anything its about to get a whole lot worse…

    Can you think of any country that allows sexual deviants in schools? Not one, all of them, every last one the BBC has already said as being ‘over a hundred’ non biological self identifying objects. You would think Saville worked alone. But he did not, its a culture the BBC are rather proud of achieving sexual prominence in the closed shop industry of the BBC.

    Its not a Muslim ‘thing’ to object to sexual advances. (They are perhaps the most vocal, as previously sought comfort from the same BBC types, not realising as we all are ‘being used’.). The whole thing is non-scientific Biology. (Ask any qualified Biologist). What the BBC claim as fact 100 genders is a totally false narrative, there is no discussion – in any western government, its an UK agenda. Not only does it trump ‘feminism’ which was a precursor to the coming it has eclipsed all the (so called) FEMINISM wins of the last episode of ‘equality’ which is now undermined completely. The BBC sponsors (out of the public TV license) it own Staff cross-dressers, many of which is being mirrored in prisons across the country. The political ‘social engineering’ is all scaffolding for what comes next, and that is the next targeted agenda. Compliance in all things BBC.

    The Children. They want the children now. Only when all conservative values have been nullified can Marxist values have a hope of being adopted. Its a uphill struggle, but here in the UK and thanks to Agenda 21. Thanks to already ‘effective’ EU legislation inducting the Police to arrest all the populace on ridiculous ‘hate crimes’ based on ONE political activist ‘say so’ to prohibit, what up to now has been the right of the ENGLISH to express free speech. Speakers Corner is unique in the world for that very reason. The English do not usually kowtow to threats. We laugh at aggressors, But that has all changed. We are now slaves of a new political doctrine, defined by Tony Blair institution defining what and how the new ‘blasphemy’ laws should be used.

    I am not making this up. I work in schools, I can see how this will go down with parents and I am powerless to prevent it. This is our own current government (Under Cameron and then May, now Johnson) authorising the (UK) DFS to enforce any number (AND IT IS LIMITLESS as in ‘THERE-IS-NO-LIMIT’ to any those increasingly daft claims) – LGBTXYZ sexual preferences on our children suggesting that all EU laws now trump (what has been up to now), been restricted by (legal) parental choice here in the UK. This is what made us ‘different’, we choose to be different.

    You heard it on the BBC first. Overt political ideology- followed largely by left wing councils such as:
    (1) ‘Birmingham city council has applied to the court to have its injunction banning parental protests outside Anderton Park Primary School made permanent.  In other words, they want a permanent exclusion zone round Anderton where parents will be forbidden to gather – to protest, criticise staff…
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/oct/18/council-asks-judge-to-ban-
lgbt-lessons-protesters-from-near-school

    (2) The protesters – in the main, parents – want the school to stop promoting and normalising LGBT behaviors and life-style choices to children as young as 3, and teaching them that gender is a matter of choice, not biology. ’ … The protesters – in the main, parents – want the school to stop promoting and normalising LGBT behaviors and life-style choices to children as young as 3, and teaching them that gender is a matter of choice, not biology. 

    (3) When it was introduced (by Ed Balls at the Dfes): “When the RSE Regulations were first issued, they stated clearly (a) that all schools must have in place a written policy for RSE, and (b) that schools must consult parents in developing and reviewing their policy…”
    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education
    Blair made this possible using: ‘Stonewall’ which became state sponsored at the time with largely by using public funds – including the National Lottery and the ‘Department For Industry’ to sponsor it all. The first founder was a self confessed political anarchist – appointed by Tony Blair himself. You might ask why, but the EU influence is behind all of this agenda. Most of it hidden from the wider public at the time. Economic disasters being the most pressing problem of late Blair and Brown era. A lot of money was DIVERTED into this single agenda, and particularly this NEW advisory body (called a Charity) below.
    New (UK) Regulations are only the tip of this LGBT juggernaut, because now Stonewall has also issued advice – this time on how to make the whole curriculum LGBT compliant… 
https://www.stonewall.org.uk/system/files/inclusive_curriculum_guide.pdf
 
    Very shortly, (within weeks) everything in or out schools will be LGBT…XYZ driven. None of this is academic pursuit, none of it is scientifically based, there are no international ‘studies’, that support it (outside the UN). This is a global agenda. Nothing else. Its like Climate Change. What is being planned post BREXIT for all Europe will make the UK adoption of the hated EURO seem unimportant. The next generation is being groomed, by the BBC and its global political acolytes.
    Destruction of the family, its values, its (pension) investments, its morality (christian values), the hope for our children future (already suffering from despair and mental problems) already developing as national disease by the NHS. How far SOCIAL ENGINEERING has to travel means that everything we hold dear, history, drama, maths and science will be felled to be replaced with this… ‘new religion’ of integration of all perversions and sexual experiences. Just like (Sir) Jimmy Saville, soon to be erected outside the BBC as a prophet and even places before the House of Lords (before its abolishment by the future EU prefecture). What happens next in school is already being ‘normalised’ by the BBC in its future drama.

    Welcome the world of the BBC mindset. Everything queer and crooked, devious with a global logic perversion by those ‘Soros’ marxist strategists, at one time we thought we could ‘trust’ those in power. The BBC with its global world service of ‘Soft Power’ is to promote ‘Stonewall’ objectives entirely. Even if we suspect, we fight an anonymous rump that ‘advises’ and ‘implements’ without debate or consultation. It has an EU mandate. But in the US, is aware of it at local level: USA is fighting this – parents are fighting back! .

    This brave new world of (communal) equality causes despair and a social engineering nightmare. As none of it, none of it is a natural occurrence. This is a global stretch of reach, something that ‘western governments’ have to ‘sign up’ to take part. And it all started with Tony Blair, here in the UK. Its one of ‘exports’, that those at the BBC are particularly proud off. We move step close to a totalitarian state.
    We have seen this before in other countries, before that collapse inwardly. Climate, Economic, Industrial and Moral collapse. Everything we have and live for is based on Trust, a faith that we have a higher morality set above the Marxist morons of this world. And now they have the children to play with.

    I think no deal would be ideal now. However, it seems to me that that if the traitors get their way over Boris the UK will stay in the EU forever. The pro Brexit forces seem to be rather weary and weak.
    I would happily be proved wrong over this, but I am concerned that people will stop getting angrier and become resigned to EU rule.
    I would see the Boris deal as a first tactical victory, in a longer campaign. There is such a thing as campaign fatigue, and the public mood does wax and wane. These are political realities. After three years perhaps Brexit supporters need to see some sign of gain?
    My heart is with Payne’s arguments above. But my head tells me that there may not be enough people out there who are as staunch as the three hundred people who contribute to this site.
    Just musing.

      Totally agree Yasser. The media and establishment have waged a never endig battle of attrition and I feel it is paying off. Only the staunchest of Brexiteers seem to be grumbling and public indignation is giving way to apathetic resignation.

      The establishment can’t be beat, the biased BBC will not stop with their directives and those furious at the anti democratic actions of the HoP will be portrayed as angry out of touch loners only existing on the very fringes of the politics.

    I have a confession to make…don’t panic it’s nothing sordid!
    Since Saturday and the treasonous conduct by the house of parasites, I’ve avoided all news outlets, TV, radio and the press. I feel so much better for it.
    By the end of Saturday’s shenanigans I’d grown apoplectic listening to the likes of Evan Davis getting more and more excited as he predicted that Brexit could be over. He was actually gushing…um, perhaps I could have phrased that differently…but you get my drift. It was one after the other of BBC Remainers giving us their extremely partial opinions. I’ve had enough!
    I’m keeping my media fast until all this Brexit bollocks is over and done with. There will be no Emily Perma Tan Mateless. I won’t be able to feast my eyes on Andrew Marr’s handsome features. And I’ll even miss the awful pantomime of Question Time, now little more than a virtue signalling vehicle for left wing posers and washed up celebrities.
    The only news I’ll be imbibing is through this excellent site, so please keep up the good work.
    I’ll see you all on the other side…

      Welcome to my steady state . No Newsnight – no QT – no Marr – no State Broadcaster news and very limited exposure to Toady . No week in Westminster . No local news – no Westminster Hour . No One Show , daytime TV , no strictly , mastermind , and no C4 .

      So no TV licence and I’d advise the same .

    “Brexit bill ‘in limbo’ as MPs reject timetable”
    ……..And the majority of the people in Great Britain reject Parliament.
    Forget the opinion polls along with their ‘massaged’ results, because in the most recent official election, that’s the European Elections, The Brexit Party took the most seats !
    The only solution to get out of this quagmire is a General Election .
    Unfortunately ‘the noses in the troughs’ are clinging to the swamp.
    Drain the swamp.

    Great article in Breitbart stating how the FakeNews MSM rolls – from firstly denying Conservative allegations, over time, to embracing and praising them. Loads of examples to be found in BBC coverage…

    I too have given up BBBC for a month and found solstice in Talk Radio. Fabulous waking up to the informed and entertaining Julia Hartley-Brewer
