    Yes – I saw that another bit of the third world was being reported .i suppose abuse of young girls trumps the race of the perpetrator as usual ?

    Just generally I’ve been deleting multiple entries on the site this afternoon which I think is a side effect of it playing up . If I’ve deleted any ones in error let me know and I’ll go dig around in the ‘trash’.

    The BBC has reported that Boris the Bottler has done nothing about the floods in the North.

    This is not a surprise, Labour claim if the floods had been in Surrey the reaction would have been different but they are wrong.

    The cowardly useless incompetent Tories are doing what they always do – nothing!

      IMHO Corbyn is a closet Brexiteer while Boris is a closet Remainer , most of his family are Remainers.

      Isn’t it all meant to be about the greens wanting dredging stopped this changing ‘traditional ‘ escapes for water ?

      Seems to me that if any adverse story or accusation by labour or other traitors the State Broadcaster will run with it as long as they can.
      I presume you’ll be voting for comrade Corbyn and his ‘friends ‘ .

          Process of elimination really – it would be nice to have a few non troll bbc supporting lefties here – there were are few but they just troll in , troll out – have a sneer and be on their way back to the Guardian site ….

          And if people say nasty stuff about the party I have to vote for to get even a mild brexit they re gonna take a bit of pay back from me – least I didn’t get heavy and accuse him of being a liberal – that really would be low …

          Talking to trolls – has any one wondered what the ‘shtoppp bbbrreexxxiiittt’ clown and reichEU flags are doing now that the traitor parliament has been killed off ? Well – they’ve gone to stand in Whitehall outside the Cabinet Office – I saw the shouty clown today – felt like giving him a big hug for strengthening the resolve of brexiters like me but it looked as though he was on the phone to his broker or social worker …..

        It’s the EU who have banned the dredging if you remember the last floods, and the BBC aren’t mentioning that.

        I won’t be voting for the Fascists, and I won’t be voting for the cowardly useless incompetents either.

    Remember this?

    The litmus test of the Boris, so-called, “Brexit Deal”. A commissioner must have a solid commitment to the EU and its aspirations……..
    “We will not……’appoint a EU Commissioner’ (or, perhaps replaced by: ‘die in a ditch’………….”). Take your pick. I suggest there is no one here who would not expect Boris to not, ‘Roll withe the punches’ and go back on his lies.
    So far as Farage is concerned, I’ve been out of touch today with comments on his retreat so, forgive me if I don’t know that the reference to Farages’s “Deal” or “Arrangement” with Boris has not been confirmed with the Tories – anywhere – and by no one. That being the case, the thrust of the Piers Morgan interview will strike home to many viewers.

      Apparently, any nominations must be female so hardly a free choice of candidates. If forced to comply, I would send a list of men, just to hack them off!

    After months of investigation the government stated that Russia was probably the culprit in the Salisbury posioning case…Corbyn thought otherwise…

    ‘”I want to see incontrovertible evidence of it,” he said, adding: “If we are going to make a very, very clear assertion like that we have got to have the absolute evidence to do it.”‘

    However today, with no evidence at all Labour are suggesing it was Russia which is behind the alleged cyber-attack on the Party. Helpfully the BBC promoted this narrative all day.

    But let’s go with ‘Russia’…why would they do it? Corbyn is after all a longtime fanboy of Russia, a friend of Russia….why attack him? Double bluff? Portray him as the victim and if he loses the election he can say it was stolen by Russia [Russia does not care if they get the blame]…Boris is not legitimately PM…let’s have another election. It also puts pressure on the government over the intelligence report which the BBC vigorously suggests contains evidence that Russia won Brexit and has campaigned loudly over the past few days to have released. Russia wins everywhich way….it is already blamed for everything so why not? And it sows so much confusion and disruption, ably assisted by the BBC’s assinine coverage that ironically helps the Russian attempts to destabilise politics here [so brilliantly done in the US where the Democrats and the Media are Putin’s useful idiots…going so far as to try and unseat the President…how Putin laughs]….whilst claiming they are helping fight fake news and Russian interference…you couldn’t make it up.

    Personally I’d check Seumas Milne’s computer and see what he’s been up to in last few days.

      Pug,
      “Corbyn is after all a longtime fanboy of Russia,…”. Personally, I see him as more of a Pol Pot man. Certainly true of the mob supporting him.

    Anyway, to other things. Well worth watching a younger Glen Beck give the public the bare essentials of the UN’s Agenda 21.

    Looking this far back, It is interesting to be able to put labels of intervening politically suspicious events or people.

    Sopel calling out Trump for interfering in foreign politics but Obama and Hillary get a free platform to spout whatever they wish regarding the referendum and this election!
    It really is the mendacity and double standards that annoys me the most with these state funded twats!

    “Primark guard preyed on shoplifting teenage girls.

    Zia Uddin, 27, from east London, attacked four 15-year-old girls while working at the Kingston store in 2017.”

    Well I never! A muslim man coercing under-aged girls into sex. Whatever next?

    Now let’s see how quickly Al-beeb can slip it off the front page. Going… going…

    ‘From their own mouths’ – TBP.

    Brexbox.
    The guy to the left is a barrister and gives his opinion on the UK, ‘doing deals’ overseas post the Boris Surrender Treaty. (not) His interpretation is that the UK will need the consent of the EU.
    Nothing like being free of the EU to do deals elsewhere…………..
    Nigel is happy with this on his broadcasting arm?

    I am surprised that the BBC allow party political broadcasts
    on behalf of the Conservative Party. As it happens this
    evenings offering was one of the worst ,if not the worst
    I have ever seen. And that’s saying something.

    Sainsburys rewriting history in true BBC fashion with their Christmas advert.
    It is set in times of old, similar characters to Oliver Twist.
    At least 2 of the children in the opening scenes are of African descent. Were there any black African children in Britain circa 1869, when Sainsburys was established?
    Apparently so in their pathetic PC land.

      Dys,
      More to the point, was Sainsburys racially biased in their staff recruitment in 1869. If so, there’s another grievance group waiting for their opportunity to stoke the fires of discontent and disquiet in the population. Surely the Marxist researchers could dig up some dirt on Sainsburys employment practices over the decades?

      I stopped going into Sainsbury as they don’t advertise using my race or ethnicity. I’m sure their target audience supply them with ample custom.
      Boycott them, I have. Tesco not much better, I’ll starve at this rate.

    WTF ! Really, you really think that is true ?
    Actually on Nov 8th in Matlock journos asked him a lot of questions and he said a lot of things
    To one qn he replied “is not looking like something we need to escalate to the level of a *national*emergency”
    ..they’ve dropped the word “national” and cynically spun his words to say “Boris doesn’t care”
