    Yet another example of left wing multicultural double standards:
    In today’s Independent, Alibai-Brown writes “Who is more dangerous – rabble-rouser Nigel Farrage? Or ape-man Clarkson?” Imagine the ‘offense and outrage’ that would be whipped up by the BBC and the rest of the liberal/left establishment if Clarkson had referred to Alibai-Brown as an ape-woman.

      See below this Independent article for comments – some really got it right, like this one:

      It is such a shame that this woman is getting paid to label a BBC presenter an ‘ape-man’ and a politician currently backed in the polls by one in three of the electorate as ‘dangerous – rabble-rouser’. It is so unfortunate that such influence she has is not more usefully directed at the more serious problems of the primates sharing her religion in this country, eg: stop female genital mutilation, grooming children for sex, radicalization of muslims going to Syria to kill people, other muslims attempting to subvert teaching in British schools etc.

      I totally agree – that Alibai Brown woman is awful and talentless and everytime I hear her speak or read her articles I realise that she hasn’t got a clue what she is talking about. Furthermore, she always has an opinion (always left wing) on everything.

      What makes it worse is she isn’t even crumpet!

      I can also recall her describing the racist sniggering and mouthing ‘monkeys’ on her table of Asians whenever a black person went up for an award at one of those multi-ethnic award ceremonies.

    Channel 5 was having a go at UKIP last week saying it was not a serious political party if it accepted a ‘sizeable’ (£5000) donation from a person who said Lenny Henry should emigrate to a black country. Apparently if you want to become a serious political party here is what you must do:

    1. Cheat the taxpayer on an industrial scale
    2. Support paedophile groups
    3. Campaign for the release of Muslim Terrorists
    4. Offer your services as a bare bottom smacker to the local authority
    5. Support and try to cover up item 4

    A bit off topic, but some of you may recall that I posted a copy of a complaint that I sent to Channel 4 news, after their disgraceful item on the Greek donor to UKIP, last week. I received this reply from Channel 4, which as you can see, is rather along the lines of a typical BBC reply:

    Dear Mr Old Goat,

    Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding CHANNEL 4 NEWS.

    We were sorry to read your criticism around the Ukip reportage and, having spoken to Channel 4 News, they respond as follows:

    This was a robust and challenging interview with a key donor to Ukip, conducted by the very experienced independent and impartial journalist Michael Crick. Whilst the views reported may be considered unpalatable by some it remains Channel 4 News job to be duly impartial and shine a light on such controversial thinking, particularly when someone is a key contributor to a political party in the UK.

    Channel 4 News strives to always be a fair and impartial broadcaster committed to providing independent and in-depth political coverage and we are sorry to read that you feel these reports did not do justice to our normal high standards. We appreciate you taking the time to write in with your comments and for your continued interest in our news output.

    Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.

    Regards,

    Sam Bradford
    Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries

    Which incensed me a whole lot more, so I replied:

    Michael Crick “independent” and “impartial”? Who are you kidding? The only unpalatable thing is the biased way in which Channel 4 “reports” and delivers its news. The “controversial thinking” is purely on the part of Channel 4, and their standards are far from being “high”. That news item, the reportage, and the delivery was a disgrace, and I’m sure Channel 4 know that, judging by the bad press they have received over it.

    Just the sort of mealy-mouthed response I expected.

    Thank you.

    Picked up this gem on Order-Order:

    http://conservativewoman.co.uk/nick-wood-horror-story-yet-told-full-facts-labour-wrecked-economy/

    Why would one ever trust Labour again? Highlights which mirror my views:

    Labour collected £5 trillion in taxes and borrowed half a trillion more.
    Labour more than doubled the national debt to over £1 trillion.
    Labour left the UK with the highest budget deficit in the world barring Greece and Ireland.
    Labour increased UK public spending over 1997-2010 faster than any country on earth.
    In 1997 Britain was ranked 22nd in the world for public spending as a percentage of national output; by 2010 it was up to sixth.
    The annual welfare bill doubled to £186 billion at a cost of £6,400 a year for the average worker.
    Immigration soared. Total net migration under the Conservatives from 1979 to 1997 was 265,000; under Labour is was ten times bigger – 2.5 million
    But despite this spending boom (in fact because of this spending boom), things only got worse:

    Unemployment increased by 444,000.
    Public sector productivity fell nearly 4 per cent.
    Value for money in the public sector fell 13 per cent (nearly 25 per cent in education).
    2.5 million jobs were created under Labour of which 1.9 million went to foreigners.
    Unemployment among young people rose by 285,000.
    One in five young people were left without a job.
    More than five million people of working age lived in workless households.
    Numbers in poverty rose by nearly 400,000 and numbers in severe poverty rose by nearly 800,000.

      The trouble is that you are comparing a Labour government with a Tory party which no longer exists. Would that it did, with Thatchers meritocratic stance on taxation that Dhimmi Dave positively opposes.

      We now have a situation where those who work hard are taxed to death so that those with money are able to keep it and pass it on to undeserving relations tax free.
      While most of us have comparatively modest estates the vast amounts being given away here mean that even more of the tax burden has to fall onto the workers.

      Vote Labour or Tory – doesn’t matter both of them are as bad as each other.

      The obvious explanation for why farmers’ markets are failing is because so many people have discovered that A/ The ‘organic’ movement bases its ideas on nonsense, B/ ‘artisan’ foods are frequently overpriced and often unpalatable and C/ shoppers have learned the hard way that simply because something is locally produced does not make it good.

      The BBC does, I’m sure, have a policy of attacking UKIP. On the TV News this morning (6th May) ‘from the South’ (of where I wonder – they never mention England, but I digress) there was a piece about a UKIP member in Basingstoke I think it was, who had posted on Twitter I imagine, something about the women there being ‘plug ugly’. There was something about a knife as well. This was quoted and they had even sent some reporter to show it to people in the street and to ask what they thought – guess which opinions they chose to broadcast. These people would not have known about it otherwise, and it is hardly newsworthy in itself, except as fodder for the BBC’s anti-UKIP campaign.

          Simply it is because, regardless of what some fruitcakes sprawl on twitter, the fact remains that the only way to vote for a party which will support, represent and serve the people of Britain, instead of the corrupt foriegn corporatists’ interests, is to vote UKIP.

    Hell-even Willie Whitelaw(who`d been a decent brave soldier in WW2) had the backbone and steel to enable this to occur.
    No doubt it put Islams rise back ten years in this country , because the Iraqi Sunni stooges now found that they could not d888 around, even in the Embassy of the awful Ayatollah.

    With the furore escalating over Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s alleged use of the N-word, the BBC is now being accused of double standards.

    It transpires that the song Oliver’s Army, by Elvis Costello, still features on the playlist at Radios 2 and 6, as well as 40 local BBC stations.

    On Oliver’s Army, which has been broadcast in full ‘thousands’ of times since it was released in 1979, Costello sings ‘One more widow, one less white n****r’.

From the TV report it is more to do with the treatment of the monkeys in Bongo Bongo Land than their business class transport or Pharma lab conditions.

    Nigeria: 329 schoolgirls abducted by Islamic jihadis
    raped 15 times daily, forced to convert to Islam.

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/nigeria-329-schoolgirls-abducted-by-jihadis-raped-15-times-daily-forced-to-convert-to-islam

    On the BBC apparently to be sold into slavery,
    yep! that is still going on with Islam …
    so its not “ole colonial whitey”.
    This means the BBC is headscratching, and dumbfounded why? … WHY!?
    … because it is still going on with Islam.

    BBC … social media campaign ?
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27241941

    Is this clear enough
    ‘God instructed me’ Abubakar Shekau said “the girls should not have been in school in the first place, but rather should get married.
    “God instructed me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his instructions,”

    Protest organiser detained – Meanwhile, a woman who helped organise protests over the abduction was detained and later released. Naomi Mutah was taken to a police station after a meeting called by First Lady Patience Jonathan.

    Will the BBC have an inkling now?
    N Campbell have an emergency “Your Call”
    over the shocking truth of Islamic slavery, and organised Islamic child gang rape? … mandated by Allah!

    Hmmm child gang rape?, by Muslims? ring any bells in Rochdale, Bolton, Oxford or Derby or Nottingham?
    could the BBC? … put 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 together?

Then one of the panel made a satirical comment about the programme being Lefty but then to add to the hypocrisy of that comment, the host then stated that BBC Radio 4 was all about the ideology of “Liberal Democracy”.

    “I want London to stand alongside Dubai as one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world,” Britain’s surrender to Sharia became an even more pressing concern, as Cameron will discover that Sharia finance cannot be separated from the rest of Islamic law any more than he could separate a bowl of blood pudding into its constituent parts.
    But this past week came five signs that Britain is going to capitulate entirely to Sharia – or else descend into chaos and civil conflict — even sooner than most observers think.”

    Jeremy Vine enthusiastically embraces the prediction that ‘ethnic minorities’ will be 30% by 2050.
    He has on a guest who uses the term ‘black’ that Vine says isn’t liked by Americans as they are ‘African-Americans’ now regardless. Funny that as I thought the term ‘black’ was imported from the US anyway. His guest also seems to like the term ‘mixed heritage’ (the goal posts keep moving!). He bemoans the fact that he is in a minority of minorities in Cornwall and doctors and hairdressers don’t understand his needs, (but we are all the same!). Now that might be an excellent reason for everyone staying ‘home’ but I think the case was being argued for more ‘minorities’ outside of the divided cities.
    Generously the guest allowed people to hold the view that immigration was ‘bad’ but clearly what was needed was a ‘mature discussion’, i.e. “I’m right and your wrong”.

    Driving last night I listened to the increasingly bizarre and confused R4.
    An item about whether intelligence is genetic and whether some of us are born smart and some less smart.
    This of course is a subject the liberal elite cannot handle. It is an either or matter. True or false .So the case for was made with extreme caution.
    In the end the consensus was that if intelligence was inherited then it was best to ignore this reality.
    The usual liberal flight from reality in action.
    The second item concerned the tragic deaths of illegal emigrants from Mexico in the desert. Yes it is sad but it is unwise to attempt to cross those deserts illegally.
    The definitive BBC position is one of unrealistic empathy. If only the USA opened it’s borders to anyone then this would not happen.
    Does a liberal have the slightest notion of what reality is anymore?
    This flight from reality is why the West is now so confused ,so unable to act and so likely to go down in confusion and decay. The liberal domination of the media, academia and politics has produced a society that is quite unfitted to face the 21st century. I am sure this is not lost on the rest of the world.

In my leafy outer suburb of London, there is acute pressure on school places, panic building of new classrooms and schools, a huge increase in interpreters – and already Ofsted are marking down schools that previously had a good record.

      The BBC/liberal mafia cannot handle this in any realistic way.
      In reality what is happening is population replacement. The indigenous English are being replaced by others.
      Demographics is destiny and this is a reality that nobody can spin away.
      This is what the elite wanted. Change the people change the culture.
      There remain a few questions.
      We , the indigenous like all threatened indigenous peoples throughout history would like to know why?
      What really was so awful about old England that the liberal elite could not bear to let it be?
      What drove these people to do this? Money? Power?
      Hatred ? What ?
      Wisdom is not something Western liberals possess. Always in thrall to some ism or other they are unable to understand reality and the human condition.
      What they have given us, the indigenous and the incomers is a future that nobody can forsee and that future is uncertain. The smooth flow of the generations that was once the strength of old England has been shattered. There is very little precedent in history for a situation like this turning out well . In fact I cannot find one. .

        Of that generation, one would have to be at least 87 today to have seen service in WW2, the last to have a collective common aim. As that generation quickly fades so does Britain, replaced by Marxist brainwashed morons who are happy to standby, capitulate and eventually have the rug pulled from under their feet.

        Those of us who are ‘awake’ and can see what is happening are bound to near silence, forever fearful of the thought police (see the establishment attacks on Farage & Clarkson).

    Seeing a cheap holiday deal in Kenya I was shocked to see the travel advice from the foreign and commonwealth office. It’s a very matter of fact type of report and doesn’t mention that the perps are of course the ‘religion of peace’ but just have a read of this truly shocking advice and see just how much the biased BBC has been withholding from you, and consider whether you’d like to holiday here, no matter how cheap, before and after reading it.

    Of course the other issue is that by with holding this information the BBC is deliberately putting people in harms way.

    “The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all but essential travel to areas within 60km of the Kenya-Somali border; to Kiwayu and coastal areas north of Pate Island; to Garissa District; to the Eastleigh area of Nairobi; and to low income areas of Nairobi, including all township or slum areas. See Terrorism and Local travel.

    There is a high threat from terrorism, including kidnapping.

    On 4 May two explosive devices were detonated on buses travelling out of Nairobi. There was at least one fatality and many injuries

    On 3 May there were twin explosions in Mombasa resulting in a number of fatalities.

    On 23 April a car bomb exploded outside Pangani police station in the Eastleigh suburb of Nairobi. A number of fatalities have been reported.

    The death on 1 April of a prominent cleric in Mombasa has led to unrest and increased tension in the area. There is a possibility of further disturbances in the Mombasa area, particularly on Fridays after prayers. You should follow the local news, remain vigilant at all times, and avoid demonstrations and large crowds.

    On 31 March there were explosions in the Eastleigh suburb of Nairobi. A number of fatalities have been reported with many more injured.

    A number of worshippers were killed during an attack on a church in Likoni, Mombasa on Sunday 23 March. There is a possibility of further disturbances in the Mombasa area. Likoni is the area where the ferry runs from Mombasa to Southern beach and tourist resorts.

    On 17 March a large Improvised Explosive Device, together with some weapons, were found in a car impounded by police in Mombasa. Local media are reporting that Kenyan police believe there may be additional similar bombs in the wider region and are pursuing these threats.

    On 2 February 2014, police raided the Musa mosque in Majengo district of Mombasa, resulting in several deaths.

    A small explosion took place at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on 16 January. There were no reported casualties. Airport services were not affected.

    On 12 December 2013 a failed grenade attack on a vehicle took place in the Likoni area of Mombasa. On 14 December 2013 an explosion took place on a public bus in the Pangani area of Nairobi, in the outskirts of the Eastleigh suburb. Six were killed and a further 24 injured. On 1 January 2014, a number of people were injured in a grenade attack on a nightclub in Diani, near Mombasa.

    In September 2013 a major attack took place at the Westgate shopping centre in the Westlands district of Nairobi. You should avoid the cordoned area around the shopping centre. Further large-scale attacks can’t be ruled out.

    You should take care in public places where people gather, and exercise a heightened level of vigilance. Monitor local and international media and keep up to date with this travel advice by subscribing to email alerts. See Terrorism.

    There are frequent incidents of violent crime including mugging, armed robbery and carjacking, particularly in the large cities. See Crime.”

    So far this year the BBC has paid £20k to MP’s for personal appearances, that’s more than all newspapers combined.

    From the figures shown it appears the corporation has actually paid more to Tory MP’s rather than Labour (£10150/£9857) but £8200 of the Tory figure went to Rory Stewart (Tory) for 2 two part documentaries.

          This is of particular importance and cannot be stressed enough. Any bunch of loons can give itself a prestigious sounding title and the BBC (not alone, in fairness) often seizes on stories from these bodies and runs them with a prominence they rarely deserve.

          The problem is compounded by the BBC’s ‘charidee’ fixation. Nakedly political propaganda has become to stock in trade of many famous charities, which use their past reputations to disguise the fact that they are now more or less mere pressure groups for Leftist causes.

          The BBC selects among the dross pumped out by these fake charities and pressure groups for a large part of its lamentably weak news output.

          An analysis of the Corporation’s output would reveal an alarmingly high proportion of its ‘news’ is nothing of the sort. It is just churnalism from its favoured ‘liberal’ sources.

      As for the guff about “sports stars being hurt” by personal comments?
      Before the game turned into the sissy fest it is now, the likes of Tommy Smith, Norman Hunter or Nobby Stiles revelled in the hatred that was aimed at them…and if anything such players stuffed the abuse down the throats of the abusing fans for sheer spite.
      Just as it should be.
      No running off to “Kick It Out” and lily wringing milksops from Bedford Uni to deal with the nasty men!
      An anodyne piece of crap from Rosen…as you say the closing down of debate by saying anything you like is a hate crime or racist etc, deserves real expolaration.
      But Rosen won`t give us that.
      Still-wasted half an hour of our time without the gratuitous hypocrisy and double dealings of the Left…but crap nonetheless.

        Migration Watch:-
        UK Press Comment on the Revised Net Migration Statistics released by the ONS
        (April 10)-

        The ONS has today revised the net migration figures between 2001 and 2011, in light of the undercounting of immigration during that period, discovered as a result of the 2011 Census. Commenting, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK said:

        “This is final confirmation that net foreign immigration under Labour totalled nearly 4 million, two thirds from outside the European Union. It also shows that the peak of net migration was almost 275,000 a year, making it even more difficult for the present government to get the numbers down to the tens of thousands.”

        It will be interesting to see who is appointed. Obviously this is an opportunity to put someone in who will seek to end the leftist bias of the BBC. It probably isn’t possible for one man , no matter who, to actually achieve much change at the BBC. But will the government put someone in post who, at least, is recognisably NOT one of the liberal left elite. Somehow I doubt it.

    The late Lawrence Auster wrote this about America over 20 years ago.

    It could be applied to the non-white future of Britain too, which the U.K political class (inc Beeboids) is continually campaigning for:-

    “Even if we succeeded in exploding the entire open-borders ideology, there are many people who would still feel the same irresistible compulsion to embrace, or surrender to, the grand immigration project and everything it implies. Appeals to reason and to the desire for collective survival can only persuade reasonable people who want to survive. But what if Americans, in their heart of hearts, don’t want to survive? What if they are indifferent—or numbed—to the prospect of being displaced, dispossessed, and marginalized? What if the European American majority doesn’t care if it becomes a minority in a racially divided, ungovernable country, and if its identity, history, and way of life disappear from the face of the earth?

    “And if this is so, why is it so?

    “An attempt to answer that question must take us into the heart of the moral, religious, and racial misconceptions that define modern American democracy. ”

    -from Conclusion of article–

    Arguments That Have Opened

      BBC-NUJ views the mass immigration and colonisation of Britain from the viewpoint of the immigrant colonisers, as below.

      Apparently BBC-NUJ regards the erstwhile white ethnic majority of British people as secondary, in the BBC-NUJ immigrant project to reduce the whites of Britain into a minority.

        What’s wrong with that?
        You think we should treat Caribbean blacks as being as great a threat as Muslims?
        Or White Catholic Polish people ?

        The truth is that so many disparate croups have been given access to the UK that their differences are so great that they cannot be treated as a single group.

        Wonder if the BBC are stacking up snacks by reception when you go into the building?
        Pattens weight issues may be related.
        You know something?…they need the Green Goddess making them all do exercise, lest their flabby self-regard becomes a contagion without antibiotics to counter it.

        I make no apology for worrying about things I know nothing about and care even less for…for speaking on things that are of no interest, but meddle and stickybeak into the lives of others.
        I`m passionate about media health…and reckon we need to shut down the BBC and all food outlets and bars within a twenty minute run, by way of caution before an independent inquiry.
        Oh, I care too much-and feel even more virtuous for so doing!

    Meanwhile over at BBc North West they are desperately trying to hype up “what is know as the Bedroom tax”. Yes we are revisiting people from a year ago. The poor lady who had to move from the house she loved.Take it from me love it’s much worse when you used to own it and not just rent it with a subsidy. They even managed to drag Scottish independence into it and tell us no less than 3 times more people in this area are affected than anywhere else in the country. Oh and right just at the end they mentioned almost as an afterthought that it’s saving £1 million pounds a day.

    I noted that the Sarah Montague managed a trip up north this morning-clearly she drew the short straw and had to go up to hideous Stockton-on Tees( but would have stayed in Thornaby should she have had need too).
    But what else are those air miles for?
    Anyway-how have all those years of Labour quangos and New Labour dynasties turned out up there…well, the “moaning minnies who live there only seem to have jobs and prospects due to Thatcher as far as I can tell.
    But no-the Poly tunnel of wind from Teesside Uni wants to spit in Thatchers eyes-or is happy to tell us that others would-and this from a Uni that has facilities in part only due to her and her Tories.
    Still-having been shell-shocked by her day trip to Bradford for Shannon Matthews, it`s good to see Sarah has once again visited the good folk of the north.
    Well done you!

    Mandy Stock got the hot sweet tea treatment this morning on Today c/o Sarah Montague…indeed, she was almost able to draw her chair up to the Aga at one point!
    Mrs Stocks husband was killed by a disqualified driver a few years ago…and the Tories want to up the sentences for scum like this.
    I only comment because I think we`ve found the first group of crims and scum that were NOT invited to reply, were NOT in a survivors group and claiming from Lottery charity funds…and were not being invited to blame the feds, the judgemental insurance companies or the elitist and excluding car manufacturers and sales force.
    No-no such advocacy group wanting rights yet for the murdering scum that kill people whilst disqualified, are on drugs, drunk etc….but I just KNOW I could soon create one for Sarah to interview…and become the new Gerry, Osama or Huhne!
    No cause too low-and was surprised nobody from Labour or Amnesty/PIL was able to shoot Mrs Stock and the Tories down for being disproportionate.
    Certainly this group of transgressors are lower than paedos are , there at the BBC.
    But for how much longer?

    An interesting little aside on Today this morning.
    Some ex LibDem MP called Howarth started his anti-nuclear arguments by saying that
    a) he was speaking as a Cambridge academic, not a Lib Dem of old
    b)You don`t really need to believe Wikipedia when it says he`s a member of Friends of the Earth.
    So Evan(to be fair) says “are you e member then of FoE?”
    Howarth can only say “yes”…albeit with lots of sniggers,
    Lovely little vignette of a lying ex Lib Dem trying to be objective, only to be rumbled as an FoE mouthpice-and exposed for all that too.
    The BBC won`t have liked that one bit…but it shows the nature of the massaging classes as they try yo half-truth their way through life.

    On Saturday I watched “102 Minutes That Changed America” on More 4. Essentially it was a compilation of ‘citizen’ video clips made during ‘9/11’.
    After about 30 minutes or so I realised that something was missing. Unlike the majority of films coming out of America, where there seems to be a race to see who can get the first ‘F***’ or ‘S***’ in, apart from a near-continuous stream of ‘OMG’s there was no bad language!
    Now if ‘ordinary’ people can witness one of the worst attacks on civilisation in recent years without ‘Effing’ and defecation surely the BBC could manage a simple ‘comedy’ show without doing the language. But then they are to busy making niggardly complaints about Clarkson’s inevitable decline.
    P.S. One of my favourite American films is Witness. Although it shows scenes of murder and violence, (whacking). I think the first and (only?) use of the ‘S’ word is when someone steps in cow droppings. That was funny and appropriate then but would be lost in the noise now.
