Start the week Thread 16 December 2019

As the post Election euphoria continues the Far Left Biased BBC is in its period of post Election mourning. Therefore we need to closely monitor the editorial narrative it will adopt to convince the electorate that their vote was wrong – because the BBC is never wrong is it ? – as we see from responses to formal complaints often published by people on this site .

    My exposure to BBC radio news is mercifully little these days, as I tend to catch LBC or Talk Radio. However it seems impossible to acquire a DAB shower radio so I am at their mercy for a short period each morning. Tuning into BBC Scotland this morning gave me this delightful selection:
    1) Whether the new intake of MPs contains sufficient numbers of women or BAME
    2) Alleged persecution of Muslims in India
    3) The need for Scotland to reach net zero carbon emissions (apparently at no cost as what this will cost was, per usual, ignored)

    The BBC is increasingly talking to itself these days.

    TWatO Watch #1 – Correction and Clarifications Dept

    The Professor in Greenland is not named Goodwin but Alan Hubbard. And he did go there in summer to check the ice sheet. Where’s that useless maxicony when you really need him or her? Back to the ice sheet.

    It was melting.

    In summer.

    It’s what ice does.

    In summer.

    It’s ice, it’s the job of ice to melt in summer.

    Especially in an unusually hot summer in parts of Greenland this year, so I am told.

    He claims that scientists have only known about the ‘Albedo Effect’ for the past few years or a decade or so. Which is strange because I remember being taught about in school long before that. I also remember reading about it – in effect – in books by mountain climbers who observed that as a glacier moved and picked up moraine, when that was hit by sunlight it would melt faster than the cleaner ice.

    That fact would have been known by any observant person a couple of hundred years, or more, ago during the Little Ice Age.

    Call yourself a scientist?!

    This seems to me to be a contrived effort by the BBC to enhance the ‘Warmist’ narrative.

    Marks out of twenty? Two. One for reminding me of the Prof’s name and another one for being there and spotting the algae.

    That’s a fail, then.

    The narrative is all about press barons and the MSM smearing him.

    They really do not get it do they?

    Few people in this Country want to be led by Corbyn’s brand of Socialist Communism and saw him as the would-be “Wolfie” he is who still lives out his immature student activist days and craves to be adored by his chosen mummties as a revolutionary zealot.

    The BBC reporting goings on in the HOC as members return.

    It gets to the JC bit and quotes…..

    “It’s Jeremy Corbyn’s time to stand up now – and he follows the PM’s lead in starting out by paying tribute to the victims of the London Bridge attack, which happened during the election campaign.

    The Labour leader says the knife attack was “an attempt to damage our democracy… it didn’t succeed and it never should succeed”.

    Lets take a look at that shall we?

    In May 2017 the Times reported…

    “Jeremy Corbyn was arrested at IRA demo..

    Jeremy Corbyn was arrested in 1986 taking part in a protest by IRA sympathisers to “show solidarity” with accused terrorists including the Brighton bomber, a Sunday Times investigation reveals.

    Corbyn joined a picket outside the Old Bailey to oppose the “show trial” of a group including Patrick Magee, who was subsequently convicted of murdering five people at the 1984 Tory party conference.

    Magee was also convicted with the other defendants of planning a massive bombing campaign in London and seaside resorts.”

    Strangely, for an organisation so quick to prominently report alleged government failings over Grenfell, and so keen to focus on Grenfell residents, this report is lower down on the ……errrr…….BBC London page of the webshite. I’m sure its just an oversight.

    But I digress. The person at the top of this failing institution was one Dany Coton, who left their post earlier than expected, presumably having been given an early heads up of the report.

    Dany is female. Now a person is only as good as they are.
    Which leaves this lingering question. Was Dany promoted above her level of competence in order to meet a Politically Correct agenda of more women in high places ?

    I think the public has a right to know. And if the Grenfell Action Groups can tear themselves away from their usual agendas, perhaps they might like to enquire too.

      Sluff:

      I am certain you are right.

      No doubt before Dany got her promotion she would have had to be interviewed by a board. They must not have believed their luck to have a candidate who was not only female, but a lesbian to boot. Shame she was white, but you can’t have everything.

      The fact that she was also incompetent and out of her depth is a mere footnote. She did not know what to do at Grenfell. More shamingly, she had not even worked out what she should have done months later. She is not a leader, she is a narrow minded little politically correct appointee.

      People died, the LFB’s reputation is in shreds, but hey, at least they had a lesbian as Chief Fire Officer. Anything the Met can do…

      On the contary I’m sure she was promoted on merit.

      Consider, first the physical strength requirement was reduced, so she would easily have met that.

      Then, no doubt our firefighters go on courses. Not just courses about fighting fires but courses on diversity, equality and ‘customer facing issues. She will have been on all those.

      Add to that ‘experience’, all those different parts of London that a firefighter might serve. She might well be one of those eagerly passed on to another station with a glowing report, just to make sure that she does move on.

      The average male firefighter will meet the new physical standard twice over. He actually enjoys speeding along onboard a fire appliance, not so keen on sitiing back at HQ totting up sick notes. He will have been on the bare minimum of courses, wild horses couldn’t make him go on the diversity and equality ones. However he will have been a good ‘team player’, part of a great crew, why would he want to move to another district?

      Come the day of judgement, Candidate A meets the physical standard as does Candidate B. A is keen on being promoted B isn’t. A has been on all the courses, B hasn’t. A has served three months with every district in London, B has only worked at the one station. Well it’s quite clear gentlemen! It has to be candidate A! All done on merit, but merit against what standard?

    I’ve been reflecting on the Election result and I don’t think it was all down to the Conservatives or Labour for that matter. I think the following gutted off the British voters as much as anything Boris or Corbyn did.

    The woke BBC (and ITV, Channel 4, Guardian, Independent etc.) constantly cramming diversity down our throats…
    The misinformation used to tilt history (See my previous post)
    The advertising creative industry ditto…
    The advertisers giving in to this….
    The Climate gangs screaming at us and threatening us….
    The Universities brain washing our young…
    The ineffective woke Police forces….
    The Judiciary backing them all up….
    The burying of news that doesn’t fit the agenda….

    A couple of items for Christmas cheer is this revelation by No.10 that Nicky Morgan is being bought back from early retirement to head up a task force on BBC Johnson trimming the fat off the BBC biases and a cull of top heavy lefties. Front page In today’s Times – Nicky Morgan is to stay on as the Culture Secretary who has had some experience of listening to the BBC bleetings of austerity, hardships and mumbling rants (see below). Here are a few howlers…enjoy!

    A commisioning editor was in a meeting with one of the Beeb’s directors who used the phrase; ‘replenishing-facing content must be platform agnostic’ which was translated as ‘Young people prefer Netflix’. In the same meeting (same BBC executive) also claimed “the lake of content is not vertical” which he explained (earnestly) “that people can skim or dive into the BBC” when this was not understood he extended that to, “…but they want to explore horizontal opportunities”.

    The editor then pushed back and replied that his own definition of ‘horizontal opportunities’ was not the same as yours (to the BBC exec). This thrilling conversation is what the BBC is all about. Inform, obfuscate and (partly) entertain the masses with quiz shows whilst pandering to the upper classes (of which it is part and partly disconnect of old marxists tropes and failed liberals hysteria on impending doom due to BREXIT.

    So Nick Morgan will have her work cut out, cutting the BBC down to size and not extending its aspirations beyond a subscription levy service for Guardian readers.

    in the same paper this cartoon sums up what we already know. What a cracking Christmas! and its going to be a New Year clear out of BBC humbugs with fancy lifestyles and language.

The first thing to come out of their mouths is ‘we’re not voting for that because it’s a threat to jobs and prosperity’…this was the mantra they spat out everytime they wanted to excuse their refusal to accept Brexit…just about any deal would ‘threaten jobs and prosperity’ thus….erm…you know what guys…let’s just Remain.

    They’ve learnt absolutely nothing from this election. Question is has the BBC? The BBC not only allowed the Remainers to get away with this deception for years but actively promoted it and pushed the thought that Brexit should be delayed and extended, that there could be a second referendum and then that Brexit was not going to happen, no deal must be off the table…thus the only way was back to the EU.

    Will the BBC now do its job properly and challenge the lies and deceits of the Remain side?….will it tell people that the line ‘Jobs and prosperity’ is code for staying in the single market and customs union and essentially in the EU…will it tell people that taking no-deal off the table means the same thing?…if the option of a no-deal is taken away what incentive does the EU have to negotiate and compromise as they can put forward any terms they like in the knowledge that if we refuse them the only other option is to stay in the EU….that is why Boris called the Remain legislation the ‘Surrender Act’…it put all the power into the hands of the EU, the ‘enemy state’.

    Not a narrative you have ever heard from the BBC I’m pretty sure.

    Clearly the voters don’t need the BBC to tell them this, the ‘smart, savvy’ voters worked it out for themselves despite the BBC trying to hide the truth from them and to ‘persuade’ them to think otherwise. Still, it would be nice if the impartial, definitely not biased, BBC would provide us with honest, untainted, non-partisan news.

    Interesting that after the election the BBC suddenly notes that Labour’s house magazine, The New Statesman, could not recommend voters vote for Corbyn’s Labour Party….

    The Guardian also could not bring itself to endorse Corbyn, merely saying…

    ‘ We urge our readers to exercise their judgment and, as their conscience allows, vote for the pro-referendum, progressive candidate most likely to deny Johnson the opportunity to wreak existential damage on our country.’

    And yet…Labour is loudly blaming the ‘right-wing press’ for spreading lies and anti-Corbyn black propaganda….but not even his own side could back him and denounced him just as strongly as those ‘right-wing’ newspapers did.

    However I haven’t heard the BBC mention that yet when Labour makes that complaint. Happy to let people to get the impression Corbyn was falsely maligned and robbed by the evil right-wing press?

    Note The New Statesman’s reasons for calling Corbyn unfit to be PM….his anti-semitism, his failure to be open about his true opinion on Brexit[and yet Boris is the liar], his associations with extremists over many decades, the unreality of his economic programme.

    So….when did you ever hear the BBC raise these issues other than in anything but a fleeting manner? Major, major questions about Corbyn personally and Labour’s policies and yet the BBC hardly raised a doubt about him or them….certainly not in the relentless and targeted way in which they attacked Boris for the slightest thing, even the number of kids he has, and seemed to be making it their job to take him out of the game.

    There are serious questions about the BBC’s election coverage…let’s hope somebody with the power and influence starts asking them and then acts upon the findings.

      This is a woman whose family fled from Idi Amin – ” Popularly known as the “Butcher of Uganda,” he is considered one of the cruelest despots in African history.”

      What is she fearful of, that Boris might make her wear a burka?

    Too good not to share –

    ‘Twas the night before Impeachment,
    When all through the House
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a Louse.

    The articles were hung, by the gavel with care
    In hopes that some votes would be cast there.

    The Democrats were nestled all snug in their beds;
    While visions of victory danced in their heads;

    And Nanzi with her dentures, and Nadler in his drool,
    Had just settled their brains for a long winter’s rule,

    When out of the polls there arose such a clatter,
    They sprang from their hubris to see what was the matter

    Away to Windows they flew like a flash,
    Tore open the screen and booted up the stash.

    The full weight on the breast of the new-fallen news,
    Gave a lustre of midday to subjects who knew,

    When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
    But the IG Report and 17 little fears,

    With a terse answer here so lively and quick,
    They knew in a moment he must be a prick.

    More rapid than eagles the defectors they came,
    And they whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

    “Now, Schiff! now, Nadler! now Nanzi, you Vixen!
    On, Comey! on, Stelter! on, Cooper and Blitzer!

    To the top of the capitol! to the dungeon of the hall!
    Now hide away Ciaramella! Hide away all!”

    As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;

    So up to the House floor the Liars they flew
    With articles full of ploys, and their reputations too—

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the news
    The panic and polling of each little stooge.

    As I scratched my head, and was turning around,
    Down came the drool from Nadler with a bound.

    He was dressed in those pants, buckled under armpits,
    And his clothes were all rumpled from dribble and spit;

    A bundle of papers he had flung in his sack,
    And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

    His eyes—were so hollow! his jowels, how dour!
    His cheeks were so ashen, his pout so sour!

    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a sow,
    And the spittle on his chin made him resemble a cow;

    The stump of a tooth he held tight in his teeth,
    And the stench, it encircled his head like a wreath;

    He had a broad face and a huge round belly
    That shook when he mumbled, like a bowl full of jelly.

    He was chubby and plump, a right ugly old troll,
    And I laughed when I saw him, get up and then roll;

    A blink of his eye and a twist of his head
    Soon gave me to know he was very near dead;

    He spoke no sense, but went straight to his work,
    And filled all the articles; then turned with a jerk,

    And sticking his finger inside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, up the nostril it rose;

    He lollygogged to his team and gave a gavel,
    And away they all flew like a motley rabble.

    But I heard him exclaim, ere he hobbled out of sight—
    “Tomorrow we vote just out of spite!”.

      Heart warming to know the pain this traitor is going through . She wanted a ‘people’s vote ‘ – got one . Maybe she ll want another ‘people’s vote ‘ in 5 years time .

      Perhaps we can be entertained by the formation of a new party comprising of ex Traitor MPs – call it ‘new changeUK’ and see how long chuka lasts .
