Midweek Thread 15 January 2020

The biased BBC is going through the motions of box ticking on Operation Augusta – the failed inquiry by Greater Manchester Police into the sexual exploitation of young girls by Pakistani Muslim Paedophile Rape gangs .The report will be forgotten in a day , lessons won’t be learnt even after a report on it. The fear is that in forgotten towns in Britain vile sexual crime against young girls is still going on with both police and so called social services looking away with the Main Stream Media (BBC) complicit in failing to confront it. But let’s spend more media time talking about an American actress who married an English Prince .

    Woman’s Hour on Tuesday we had two women discussing the leadership of the Labour Party. Both women were talking about how the Party would have to change to make it electable, nothing about what they believed in and how easily it could change and whether people wanted what they wanted for the country.

    One was an MP who had just lost her seat. But she said that she remembered on the doorstep a woman telling her how Keir Starmer should lead the Party. Then the other woman joined in, and surprise, surprise, she too wanted Starmer.

    I can only presume that Starmer is closer to the BBC’s version of Labour than any of the others standing and so is being pushed hard.

    Not heard of Yasmine Mohammed but she looks like an interesting person… grew up in a fundamentalist household, had an arranged marriage to a member of Al-Qaeda and has written ‘Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam’. Anyone here read it?

    Ive not seen Newsnight for years . Tonight they’ve got someone called Katie Razzle running it and giving off all those anti Brexit noises one might expect . A Brexit Party MEP( Claire Fox) gave her both barrels over the way the BBC was reporting our leaving on the ReichEU on 31 January .
    They’ll need to lay on more phone lines at the Samaritans for Snowflake remainers who think they can’t go to Europe any more .
    Personally I think we should deliver a cup of cold sick to remainers after what happened to democracy since the Referendum up until the 12 December 2019 General Election .. .

        Stop our Health Service being an an international health service
        Stop paying money to children in Poland etc , if they do exist .
        Throw out foreigners who shouldn’t be in the country
        Stop meddling in world affairs for the sake of ( civil servants and politicians ) having “influence “.
        Overhaul the benefits system .
        Don’t keep giving our money away .

        And is it bad if the airlines employees lose their jobs ? after all there must be plenty of others available because we keep importing labour .

    The timing of the 2-part BBC2 program on Bishop Peter Ball, the paedophile rings with which he was associated, his active participation and the extent of the cover up by the CofE, to coincide with the release of the statements on the Manchester abuse enquiry is, as I’m sure you must have realised, a pure coincidence.

      Perhaps we should spend more time thinking about the American actress rather than the children who were corrupted by either so called religious figures of any denomination or the Pakistani Muslim paedo rape gangs infesting the north or England and other places not on the media radar .

      The GMP investigation closure really got me . The chief constable is on at least £200k a year so he’s okay then . I wondered if the CC at the time of the enquiry had young daughters …?

        Let’s all remember where the ultimate responsibility for industrial scale rape and abuse lies. The many institutions that should have protected these girls but didn’t and the MSM that should have investigated and reported the scandal but didn’t, did not suddenly choose of their own volition to turn a blind eye.. No they did so because they worked in a political climate which became increasingly tolerant of this behaviour of Muslims. Which put the alien practises of Muslims before the values , culture and law of the British. This applies right across the board of our daily lives and is entirely the creation of a generation of politicians from Prime Ministers to councillors who have set the climate in which the institutions function. Sadly of course the people who elect these politicians are ourselves and ultimately we are now reaping what past generations of voters allowed to happen ever since the sixties.Today I think that the problem is so deep rooted that it cannot be removed . I’m afraid that we are well past the first stage of Islamisation , basically we have become desensitised to the alien and abhorrent practises of Islam. We should regard the growing wave of anti semitism as the canary down the mine, Jews today practising Christians next and then the rest. The future is grim as the Muslim population rapidly grows and puts our Brexit struggle into perspective.

          When I worked in the NHS most of the social workers I saw, were ‘busy’ attending meetings in the morning, then lunch in the canteen, followed by a refresher course in the afternoon, this was when they were not seen chatting in the rooms of various colleagues with folders under their arms. Work ? well I think they fitted in half an hour before the start of yet another morning ‘meeting’.

    And so it goes on. The BBC still covering up the truth….it can’t quite agree what the truth is and what it wants to admit….it admits the grooming and the cover up and then another BBC ‘journalist’ tries to deny it all.

    Click to access operation_augusta_january_2020_digital_final.pdf

    The BBC, whilst reporting on ‘Asian’ sex gangs, stated on the radio this morning that one factor was that the Authorities didn’t want to deal with the grooming gangs due to the possibility of raising community tensions or be accused of racism.

    Read the BBC’s on-line report and this doesn’t get mentioned…in fact it is deliberately twisted to make the ‘Asians’ into the victims…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-51093159

    Here’s the usual suspect, Mark Easton, covering up the truth whilst ironically reporting on a ‘covering up of the truth’…

    ‘So what went wrong? As the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham put it, there was an institutional mindset in which young, vulnerable girls were not seen as the victims but as the problem….Children who it was said had chosen to be exploited.

    And the perpetrators were all from an ethnic minority which the authorities recognised had itself been a victim of prejudice and racism.’

    Note that last line…but nowhere will you find any suggestion that the girls had been left to suffer because the Authorities had been afraid to tackle ‘Asians’.

    The BBC were part of the problem, part of those ‘Authorities’ that failed the girls…the police and local authorities were allowed to cover things up because the media didn’t challenge them…due to fears of being called racists and because they didn’t want to say maybe the BNP were right on this subject. We know this is true because a BBC northern journalist admitted he knew what was happening to the girls and was shocked that the ‘Authorities’ didn’t do anything…well, what did he do? Nothing…and that’s why the ‘Authorities’ were able to brush it all under the carpet and thousands of young white girls were abused for years.

    The latest investigation into this came about due to the BBC’s films in 2017 [better late than never]…Three Girls and Betrayed Girls….

    In the last film the BBC states openly that this abuse was hidden due to fears about race…and the Times’ Andrew Norfolk admits to not reporting it on the same grounds….and yet Easton fails to mention any of this…despite headlines today like this…

    From The Independent…

    Fears over race relations affected police probe into child sex grooming gang, report suggests

    The Mail….

    Whistleblowing detective says police chiefs should face charges over Asian grooming gang scandal that saw 97 men left free to rape or abuse 57 young girls because officers feared arrests would ‘stoke racial tensions’

    The Telegraph….

    Asian grooming gang free to roam streets because officers were told to ‘find other ethnicities’ to investigate, detective claims

    One other point of interest….the Lefty liberals always try to claim Tommy Robinson had nothing to do with raising the issue of abuse and yet watch the film and at 1 min 30 secs you hear ‘The silence grew deafening…inflammatory voices stepped in…’ and you hear Tommy Robinson’s voice.

    Tommy Robinson doing the job that the BBC should have been doing…and as the BNP also rose on the back of this yet more proof that it is the liberal’s own behaviour that gave birth to the rise of the Far-Right.

      You see the problem isn’t Muslim rape gangs it’s the police that’s at fault along with social workers.
      It’s a tactic they use all the time…knife attacker killed on London bridge story isn’t he was Muslim story was about early release from prison…..an effective tactic of blame deflection.
      My x was involved in social services in Rochdale at it was well known that Muslim gangs exploited young girls and they let it happen to keep racial tensions in check…..surely that’s the story the perceived threat through challenging the behaviour of certain community’s…..

      Even that Three Girls drama might have been an exercise in damage limitation, giving the impression that, terrible as it was, the sex-slavery and gang-raping was not as widespread as it really was – Three Girls, geddit? It gave us a bit to chew on, but to keep our minds from enquiring further. You have to really search the depths of merely local reporting (it is kept off the front pages), immediately after a verdict and before the report quickly disappears, to find out this stuff.

      I thought about this. I came to the conclusion that middle class children with low intelligence are funnelled into a system that means that they end up employed by the BBC. I remember being told that in Victorian times, low IQ middle class idiots ended up as Church of England Priests, today it’s the BBC.

      The people BBC staff hate the most are bright working class whites with Maths and Science qualifications. They oppose Grammar Schools because typical BBC types could not qualify and their parents had to pay for them to go to a posh Private School for middle-class dullards. Most BBC staff have the standard useless qualifications for middle-class dullards such as the Arts, Humanities, Media Studies, Politics, English and it was found that almost half the members of the defunct BBC Trust had studied the philosophy of Karl Marx. Only BBC engineers and ex-Met Office weathermen are known to have a science or maths degree. The only known Mensa member employed by the BBC was sacked by Lord Hall. I think it could have been because he commented on how small Lord Halls head was, when sat behind him. Or that could have been someone else, sat behind Lord Hall in a Parliamentary Committee meeting, I think.

    This morning on R5 at about 0400 a lady with a beguiling voice and introduced as a climate scientist was talking at length about world-wide fires (oh, Australia, Brazil, California etc) adding on the calamity of increase in CO2 (between 300 and 400 parts per million) and she claimed that “we bear a historical responsibility for this”. Not sure who the ‘we’ are. If she means the UK, then does she include the 20 million immigrants to UK who have arrived in my lifetime from Uganda, India, Pakistan, Kenya – even Tristan do Cunah and almost every other country in the world?
    It is a short step to demanding reparations , payable by who and to whom is open to conjecture but there must be some accountability to balance the responsibility.

    what other “Asian ” men had been up to , although it was the
    MAIN news item. Although for most of his programme he
    was talking about the importance of diversity. One would

    Rotten Tomatoes score:

    https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/doctor_who/s12

    Bit of a divergence there, I think you’ll agree.

    So what are the critics saying…?

    ‘Doctor Who’s 12th season is a radical step in the right direction….
    …the Doctor’s companion Graham — who knows so little about “the Doc” that he assumes she’s joking about once being a man… The dark fairy tales and writerly pyrotechnics of Steven Moffat’s tenure as showrunner disappeared. Chibnall replaced them with more straightforward stories that used the past to explore real horrors of history, like Jim Crow and the partition of India.’

    Ah-ha…

    And the fans…?

    ‘I forced myself through all the current episodes and wow this is crap and this is not Doctor Who’

    ‘Politics, politics, politics! What happened to this show, this was maybe the worst episode ever, and each week it gets worse!’

        And why is something that makes middle aged men angry a brilliant thing?
        I work in a industry where I’m increasingly a minority and feeling marginalised. But here’s the thing, every now and then when it hits the fan and someone needs to solve the problem, or all of these wonderful new ways of working come up short and a common sense approach is needed to get things a done, it’s the likes of me, older men and women, who step up and either say what needs to be said or takes on the heavy lifting and solves the problem.

    The Times is running the story of the raped and tortured children along with the murder of a child in Manchester by blaming the police.

    Knowing the censorship of The Times comments page, I added a carefully worded observation about no one being allowed to say who the perpetrators are. I avoided all words that would flag up the overly sensitive censorship on that site, yet my comment was removed. I now see that all comments have been removed.

    So question: is there a state led embargo on giving details of the criminals? Is this to prevent ‘revenge’ attacks?

    We used to tune into the BBC for variety in entertainment.
    All we get now is diversity.
    When bad news for diversity eventually bubbles up the BBC do a magic disappearing act on it coupled with a bit of distraction sleight of hand.

    It amounts to a largely self-imposed D-notice system – D now stands for Diversity, the word representing a wonderful catch-all euphemism in itself.

      It’s a pretty sophisticated scheme me thinks – like minded people select like minded people in the civil service , police , local authorities and media .

      I don’t think there is even a plan – it’s just the inbred liberal culture which infected UK / Europe in the 1960s and grew as those infected became more powerful .
      America – being – less constrained – has resisted it outside the big cities thus putting a lid on the clintons , Obama and the shower of Democrats .

      When the Uk State is caught out – as it has with these Muslim gang rapes – they get people to look away or spread the ‘ blame ‘ so that’s no one actually takes or is even held responsible .

      Most output on the BBC seems to involve the letter ‘D’ in some way:
      Diverse
      Deranged
      Dirty
      Degenerate
      Disgusting
      Debased
      Distorted
      Mind you, there is usually considerable overlap with most of these topics.

    Does the Beeb still have a duty to inform? There still appears little or no news coverage of our Independence Bill in the Lords. At least none on the Politics/Brexit/Parliament pages of their website. Perhaps it is of no interest to any of us knuckledraggers compared to the opinions of the Beeboid host.
    But for those who would like to know a bit see Parliament.UK website. The Bill is “scrutinised” in Lords committee this week (Tues/Wed/Thurs), Report stage 20/21st and then “ping pong” between HoL and Commons on 22nd.
    There – it wouldn’t take long for one of the Beeb’s 20,000 journos to tell us that, would it?

    Further to the Manchester ‘Asian men’ child abuse.

    A little light internet searching brought me to this disgraceful article from 2011, courtesy of the BBC’s in-house preferred newspaper.

    Utterly pathetically it is entitled ‘Grooming and our ignoble tradition of racialising crime’

    I suggest it is read without holding any heavy objects you may later feel you want to throw………

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/jan/07/grooming-racialising-crime-tradition

      Killing a bit of time – I did a little research – the boss of manchester police at the time the muslim sex attacks were taking place ( and still are ) was Michael Todd who took over in 2002 and was found dead up a mountain in 2008 . Wiki says he was having domestic issues at the time but no suicide finding was made.

      So the repulsive Guardian are STILL doing precisely what allowed huge numbers of pakistani muslim men to abuse thousands of white girls for decades. By decrying the so-called ‘racialising of crime’ (aka telling the truth), the hack Libby Brooks is stifling debate and obstructing appropriate action by the authorities.

      It is exactly that kind of mentality that hamstrung and intimidated police, social services and courts from preventing the mass paedophile rape of untold thousands of underage girls, for fear of just the sort of stupid accusation that the paper is making: racism and islamophobia.

      Which makes media like the obscene Guardian and the vile beeb complicit in some of the worst crimes this country has known, on a scale unequalled in history.

    2) The new immigration rules……….and in particular “highly skilled” people earning less than £30k…….Today had IDS in with the highly overpaid DJ Hussein probing for cracks….an NHS (surprise) case was highlighted where a portuguese lady involved in what sounded like lab technician work was cited………..

    3) Maximum airtime for “grievance central”…..this SNP grievance business is highly Un -Scottish”….more like the old chip on the shoulder or naked English hatred….

    4) The ” BONG”……….Hussain asked IDS if he would be contributing to the crowd funding…………..I was shouting at the radio….Turn that question back on her…..and demand a clear answer……..

    In the light of the Fly Be rescue, Watermelon Green MP Caroline Lucas has criticised the government’s proposal to cut domestic passenger tax on airline flights.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1169862/Air-travel-bad-stabbing-person-street-says-MEP.html
    Of course, there are some notable exceptions. For instance, suppose a Green MP – let’s call her ‘Ms Lucas’ for the sake of argument – wanted to attend a conference in Washington DC, naturally she would have to fly (business class):

    The intrusive ‘R’

    Always appears odd to me, just how many of the BBCs presenter add an extra ‘R’ into a word when it isn’t there.

    Withdrawal becomes Withdrawral, and drawing become drawring, or in extreme circumstances draw-ring.

    Also saw becomes sawer, and perhaps most egregious, who is Laura as in Laura norder which appears impossible for some people to pronounce correctly.

    In ordinary everyday life I come across very few people with this speech impediment, but I hear an awful lot of them at the BBC, and I wonder why this might be?

    Panorama, the BBC’s flagship investigative programme, took an indepth look at some of the claims about paedophile gangs in these northern towns back in 2004. I remember it well.
    Of course, being the Beeb, they weren’t actually looking into the paedo gangs themselves, but those that were trying to expose them. In this case it was Nick Griffin of the BNP.
    It was the usual hatchet job that the far left are so good at. Most of us at that time were still living in blissful ignorance and knew nothing about these crimes. Like the horror of FGM most of us couldn’t believe it. These claims seemed like some dystopian far right fantasy. They weren’t.
    Our state broadcaster didn’t stop there. After the prog’ had aired they passed all their info’ onto the West Yorkshire police who proceeded to prosecute…Nick Griffin.
    Dennis McShane was the Labour MP for Rotherham at the time. Since the horrendous truth of what was happening on his watch has been made public he has said, “I am a true Guardian reader and did not want to rock the multicultural boat.” So, due to “cultural sensitivities” he chose to turn a blind eye to the industrial scale rape of underage white girls. If he were the only one it wouldn’t be quite so bad, but this is an establishment cover up from top to bottom.
    The repulsive McShane is one of the very few MPs who were jailed for fiddling their expenses.
    As far as I’m concerned that’s the least of his crimes…

      Dennis McShane – real name Josef Denis Matyjaszek. Worked for the BBC from 1969-1977. Had a relationship with fellow jailbird and BBC favourite, Vicky Pryce (real name Vasiliki Kourmouzi). Having said that, he campaigned against communism in Eastern Europe, is a friend of Israel, has supported nuclear power and has spoken out on topics such as cousin marriage, the suppression of women and the failure of the muslim community to speak out against terrorism. Incidentally, it was the BNP that made the complaint about him and his use of expenses. Rather a mixed bag, but his inaction in Rotherham condemns him to the fiery pit in the afterlife.

      I am very wary of quotes atrributed to people that seem to condemn them so completely. I doubt he was totally inactive in Rotheram from what you say about him Ian. I have a different perspective to the work of the MP Dennis McShane . He was the only MP who gave direct support to complaints against the BBC’s Foreign Editor appalling rascism and he must have been a pain in the butt to the BBC at the time. That may be another reason why out of 6 labour MP’s who were found fiddling the expences he was the only one to receive a jail term.

    There is one particularly revealing and chilling line in the report on pakistani muslim child rape gangs around Manchester, which led to the death of Victoria Agoglia after her abuser injected her with heroin.

    Because of fears over racism, one detective revealed that officers were told to ‘try and get other ethnicities’, i.e. non Pakistani muslim, so presumably white.

    There is indeed institutional racism and discrimination in many of our institutions: pro-ethnic, anti-white racism.

    R5 Nihal Arthanayake has the actor Laurence Fox on.

    Naturally conversation gravitates towards racism. Laurence thinks overall we’re a tolerant country. He doesn’t know any racist people, of any colour. Nihal’s rehearsed this setup countlessly over the years with his media and BAME chums and springs into action: “Ah… I don’t know any murderers, but I know that they exist.”

    Well the murder rate in the UK (according to the ONS) is 12.4 per million. That’s 0.00124%. Now imagine a state broadcaster that continually talks about murderers, hosts innumerable phone-ins on what can be done about murder, calls for more and more education to stop you murdering, and then — having achieved great success — pushes the line that we’re all secretly guilty of unconscious murder.

    Like a dog without a bone Nihal doesn’t give up: “do you ever look at your blind spots…?” Because he just can’t bear to let a white man leave the studio thinking that as a country, we’re just not really racist.
