Five Live Breakfast setup a lovely chat regarding the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s funeral. A German defending him as a national and international hero and a Marxist, John Tipple, deriding Sir Winston’s achievements including an attack on Fatcha, naturally.
They say you judge a man by his enemies. Fascist scum seventy years ago, Marxist scum today. On that criterion alone it seems Churchill was a great man.
The reason the Marxists, and other left wingers constantly deride Churchill, is because he was a patriot. They can’t understand patriotism because they feel absolutely no loyalty to this country. And most of them actually hate the UK. You have to look at the state we’re in to see that.
What a pale, vapid, imitation of leadership the likes of Cameron are in comparison to the great Churchill.
Churchill’s Funeral: rebroadcast on Parliament TV Channel now, from 9:15 am to 1:30 pm.
Is that the BBC Parliament channel ? You lot don’t do irony do you ?
Viewing figures for Parliament Channel vs listeners to 5 Live?
And your justification for the BBC’s invitation to this moron is……? ‘John Tipple, deriding Sir Winston’s achievements including an attack on Fatcha, naturally.’
Get your brain in gear then post.
With luck still retaining the always helpful ‘you lot’.
The BBC reports that South African apartheid-era death squad commander Eugene de Kock – nickname ‘Prime Evil’ – has been granted parole after 20 years in jail (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-31054912). It is not so keen on reporting other news from the “Rainbow Nation”. During the past 20-odd years several thousand white farmers and their families have been brutally murdered. There are some caveats: the South African police do not record the race of murder victims so it is down to other organisations; farmers tend to be white as well as relatively wealthy and robbery is sometimes the main factor; statistically, overall whites in South Africa are less likely to be murdered than blacks, although the murder of the farmers is grossly disproportionate. Sensible estimates suggest that in excess of 2,000 white farmers have been murdered since Mandela came to power – often these murders are exceedingly cruel and involve children and the elderly. But it is hardly ever mentioned by the BBC – compare the amount of coverage for a black criminal killed accidentally or legally by a white law officer in the USA. Here is a rare article from the Daily Mail; other material is available on the internet although be aware that some of it is quite sensationalist.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351339/Mandelas-passing-looming-threat-race-war-South-Africas-whites-widow-mourns-latest-murdered-white-farmer-chilling-dispatch-nation-holding-breath.html
I think the approved liberal view is that the present plight of the farmers is a result of the past behaviour of the whites and to be expected. So no sympathy there.
This is a key liberal trait. To use the past to justify the present however abhorrent and cruel.
There is no moritorium on Europeans presumed guilt.
It is how the liberal views Israel. An initial mistake in it’s creation( in their view) for which every succeeding Israeli generation must bear the guilt. That the Palestinians have any responsibility is ignored. Each generation of them is always a victim.
I feel this also applies due to our involvement in Palestine and Sykes-Picquot – the current muslim rage in the world is all our fault.

Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas ) wrote in Al Thura in 1976 the official Magazine of the PLO
“The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians …but, instead they abandoned them forced them to emigrate….imposed upon them a political and ideological blockade and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews lived in Europe”
Mahmoud Abbas wrote the truth here for a change but this does not fit with lies of the BBC or any other media service in the UK on whose to blame for the fleeing Palestinian Arabs and their conditions in refugee camps..
The number of farmers in RSA was 42 000 in 1994. Now estimated to be 18 000. The number of farmers and family murdered stands at over 3200 and going up by an average of 4 per day.
Most murders are carried out following extreme torture involving rape of women and children. Pouring boiling water over them, burning them with electric irons and beating them with rifle butts.
This is genocide.
DAILY MAIL COMMENT: “Mass immigration and the ballot box.”
[Opening excerpt]-
“They are extraordinary statistics which lay bare the full demographic upheaval caused by Labour’s policy of encouraging mass immigration.
“In the May General Election, two seats will be contested in which, for the first time ever, the majority of voters were born overseas.
Nationwide, academics say that almost four million voters – or one in every ten – will have come from abroad. And in 20 key marginal seats they will hold the balance of power.
“There has been much debate over Labour’s motives in throwing open Britain’s doors – without any public debate – and granting citizenship to millions of migrants.
“The party’s own adviser, Andrew Neather, said the intention was to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity’.”

And Lord Tony HALL continues the political campaign for ‘diversity’ (mass immigration into UK) on BBC.
Front page, ‘Daily Mail’ today-
“March of the migrant voter: For the first time in history people born abroad will be in the majority in two constituencies.
“In East Ham and Brent North more than 50% of voters are foreign born .
“4million people born overseas will be able to vote in May’s General Election.
“Number is up by 500,000 in only five years and represents one in 10 voters.”

“Foreign voters to decide elections: Four million migrants could swing key constituencies”
http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/555140/Four-million-migrants-swing-key-constituencies-General-Election-Ukip-Labour-foreign-voters
Everyone benefits from immigration:
Tory bosses get cheap workers.
Labour gets new voters.
The Far Left gets new street fighters.
The BBC gets a new audience.
Human rights lawyers get new customers.
Social services get to work on new “exotic” problems.
The NHS avoid having to recruit and train local staff.
Builders get fat new contracts for houses and schools.
What’s not to like? As long as you’re not an ordinary British person just trying to make a living in the country of your birth, that is.
Seems that cuddly-sounding ‘soft power’ thing the BBC likes so much (without the responsibility or accountability) is a concept appreciated by others happy to play the long game.
And the taxpayer has to subsidise the low wages the bosses are paying via tax credits. The poor indigenous white saps are told they are lazy and feckless and deserve to starve, and Tory voters lap it up.
What us bizarre is that so do many working Labour voters!
Thoughtful, I have to say that Tory and Liebour and LimpDim and Green voters all lap it up.
What we need is a party that stands up for Democracy, that British people should be ruled by Westminster, and no-one comes in unless they add value to our country.
Add to that property developers and buy to let landlords making a fortune and farmers ready to retire hoping some of their land will be released for building.
Therefore vote UKIP

More political bias in this INBBC report on Islamisation of France.
No ifs or buts, simply and wrongly stated by INBBC:-
“Some did express shock because Islam is peaceful.” (!)
from-
“Charlie Hebdo attack: French values challenged in schools”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31027152
According to Boris Johnson, him of London Lord Mayor, has stated that those “British” youths who go off to fight and become Jihadists, do so because they have low self esteem, can’t pull birds and watch porn. Nothing to do with the religion of Islam then Boris?
Maybe like some that end up working within the BBC?
And the BBC chump on the 5 O clock news dares to ask Boris if he “regrets what he said”.
WHAT?…that using teenage banter at beheading psychotic scum is regarded as undiplomatic by white liberal ciphers for the Caliphate?
Apparently we`re at risk of REALLY annoying Jihad John!
Halibut!,,,how much worse can it get?
Only the BBC give a flying stanley knife about what we call Islamists….
There were not, by merest chance, any hints that some ‘critics who were saying’ knocking about in the vicinity, if tantalisingly behind that ever-present ‘purposes of..’ BBC firewall when it comes to nailing down who they might be?
‘Some might say………….’
I am sure that all the murderers in Hebdo weekend had girlfriends…at one time or another…not that you could tell they were girls under those black death shrouds they wear.
Back to school Boris.
If you don’t discuss the problem, you will never find a solution.
P.s. I was without a gf for 10 years before I met Mrs Chop, and watched a LOT of porn….never murdered anyone…guess there must be another reason.
Boris is an expert. His grandad ate a box of Turkish Delight or something. Well, it’s more of a qualification than a BBC staff writer has.
Actually that is a pretty smart thing Boris said!
What youth (Muslim or not) is going to want to be seen as having “low self esteem, can’t pull birds and watching porn”?
LOL, the shame.
Indeed. Ridicule, especially of manhood in what is a ‘macho’ gun-toting community, can be a powerful weapon.
It’s what our so-called comedians should be doing, but aren’t.
I’m sure that Titan of edgy comedy, Marcus Brigstock, is penning an hilarious and cutting sketch as we speak. Just when you thought ‘The Now Show’ couldn’t get any funnier…
Jimmy Carr might try – he’s “edgy” enough.
Too busy avoiding paying tax.
Boris could do considerably better than the typical ‘comedian’ on the six thirty ‘comedy’ slot Radio Four, usually an minority ethnic or ethnic British homosexual.
Might all be part of the new psyops war the media announced with the formation of 77 Brigade. Another doomed attempt paying lip service to tackling the problem of Islamic Extremism. Doomed because until the powers that be admit it has everything to do with Islam then nothing is going to work. It’s like sayins the Third -Reich has nothing to do with Hitler.
I find the Lib Lab Con, media, Churchill gush fest some what nauseating, hypocritical.

Disgrace…..police are not fit to wear their uniforms…..meanwhile child grooming continues up North, and probably every where muslims breed. Police had better wise up…..if it all kicks off, the people will turn on them too.
I’d like to think that when it all kicks off, members of the police force who don’t agree with the PC claptrap being imposed from above will join the rebels. Same for the army.
There must be some, surely.

Churchill on immigration 1954
“Problems… will arise if many coloured people settle here. Are we to saddle ourselves with colour problems in UK? Attracted by Welfare State. Public opinion in UK won’t tolerate it once it gets beyond certain limits… Question is whether it is politically wise to allow public feeling to develop a little more before taking action.”
After saying it would be ‘fatal’ to let the situation develop too far, Churchill added: ”
Remember how the BBC went overboard on the shooting of the unarmed black teenager by a white cop in Ferguson. Gentle giant killed by racist cop. They won’t be showing this video.
Are we sure this is the same Micheal Brown. Because the bBC spent a lot of time and effort trying to tell me he was a wee asp of a school boy who wouldn’t harm a flea.
And we all know the bBC only tells the truth.
He was this size in the video in which he was seen robbing a store, but Like little Trayvon, only youthful photos were seen on the BBC. I believe that little Diane Abbott is speaking on white cop racism at the UAF conference this week.
I am baffled as to why lefties like the BBC spring to the defence of these animals. If they saw one approaching them in Hampstead they would instantly seek the protection of the police they so despise.
This is a good video to link on any HYS when the BBC is championing the thug.
It may be a sexual thing. The liberal thinks that by allowing himself/herself/itself or their family to be raped by a large buck negro it somehow atones for the sin of slavery incurred by their great great grandfathers.
Ian, almost right. They think that allowing us and OUR families to be raped etc it somehow atones for slavery.
Loony lefties and THEIR families are nowhere to be found when there’s such raping going on.
What on earth was going through the mind of the man filming this?
At the end of the assault, when their poor victim is seen lying comatose, this hideous beast is seen approaching the victim. For a second I idiotically thought he might be about to show some compassion and help the poor man to his feet. Silly me; the repulsive sub human was then seen going through the bloke’s pockets.
Is anyone genuinely mourning this ghastly creature?
Just an ‘unarmed black teenager’.
All the “liberal” journalists fell for the race-baiters script, that Michael Brown was “unarmed” when shot.
The more intelligent Fox News at the time brought on a world-weary New York detective, who made the point that, at the time of his shooting, Michael Brown had not been frisked, to determine whether or not he was carrying a gun.
He was not shot “known to be unarmed”. His weapon bearing status at the time was unknown. In a country where a lot of people posses guns, would you make a presumption that he was unarmed, if your life depended on it? Of course the race-baiters jump the shark.
When that middle-eastern man entered a Dutch TV station with a (fake) gun, the police should have shot him dead. They had no idea at that crucial moment whether they had another Charlie Hebdo on their hands. They didn’t know whether the gun was real or not. Cowed liberal Dutch police were reckless with the lives of people at the TV station.
That is how liberals work: liberals are happy to risk your life, rather than protect your life, to avoid a possible a mistake. It was a mistake not to shoot him. Anyone waving a “gun” around should know what’s coming.
You can take the African out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the African.
That’s not him. Some other thug.
Five Live this morning and a discussion on body clocks, sporting performance and participation levels.
Lovable Scouse swimmer Steve Parry’s on giving his view. Reasonable insight until we get to the dreaded “cuts” – maybe the swimming baths have become so grotty that people just can’t bare to use them suggests Burden?
Yep, Steve agrees (reading from the carefully worded hymn sheet that’s handed to all guests/correspondents), “since austerity things have been tough”.
And there it is. Nothing to do with the UK increasingly becoming a nation of fat, idle, lazy, fat, immobile, x-box playing fat bastards.
It’s the cuts/austerity wot’s done for ’em – “I swear I would go for a swim but those changies are just soooooooo dirty”
The BBC – never missing an opportunity to advance its agenda.
They were at it again this afternoon towards the end of women’s sports hour – what is all that about? Of all the BBC outlets, I find 5L the worst and can’t believe I have to fund this crap. Almost all it’s broadcasters are sneering, preening, self-righteous lefties advancing Labour’s agenda and who stick two fingers up to their charter responsibilities knowing that they are accountable to no one. Truly a disgusting station.
Superbly put Marsh
‘Yep, Steve agrees (reading from the carefully worded hymn sheet that’s handed to all guests/correspondents), “since austerity things have been tough”.
And the question the BBC never asks: ‘Well if you’d like more funding for x, what would you cut instead?’
But then, when you work for a £4 billion p.a. organisation whose own funding is guaranteed by a poll tax and draconian enforcement laws, why the fuck should you care anyway?
And the question the BBC never asks: ‘Well if you’d like more funding for x, what would you cut instead?’
That’s it. That’s the killer question, and your observation that it is never asked is the best evidence of BBC bias that exists.
Barring a real ‘news’ story – rare – our local BBC leads every night with ‘A report out today suggests that…’ Always ‘Lack of investment’ and ‘The Cuts’. BBC staff must believe in the tooth fairy, because your question is never asked.
The other question never asked is ‘Faced with the media spotlight on waiting times, do the unionised NHS staff all put a spring in their step,…or not?’
There is always the problem of “Muslim only” days, nights….weekends….when can we attend the local baths? (can’t ya tell i’m a Northerner)…Who knows!
Plus, would anyone, in their right mind , allow their 12 year old daughter to go swimming in Oldham baths, when you see what “Faith” 90% of the dippers are?
QATAR, INBBC and Islamisation of London.

Not the most egregious example of BBC editorialising, but checking my FB feed, this was at the top:
The Today Programme
There is ‘not consensus within medical profession’ on plan to reduce length of medical training.
Listen: http://bbc.in/1tDr7CU
Plan to reduce length of medical training will lead to ‘lower standard of expertise’,…
‘The level of expertise required of you as a consultant is of a very high standard’.
BBC.CO.UK
That first sentence is a statement, with a possible ‘quote’ contained within.
You will need to click the link to hear who said what about what. Or read this:
Plan to reduce length of medical training will lead to ‘lower standard of expertise’
Some leading doctors’ organisations say that plans to reduce the number of years of medical training would compromise patient care and safety.
Tom Dolphin, from the BMA Junior Doctors’ Committee, told Today the plan would lead to “lower standard of expertise”.
He told Today: “The level of expertise that’s required of you as a consultant is of a very high standard in this country”.
“The training programmes are quite long compared to other countries, but that’s because we expect a high standard of our doctors”.
“The proposals as they are will not meet that expectation in future”.
Otherwise, what take-out do you feel a passing reader may leave with? The excuse of no space for accuracy, or proper context, does not hold up.
Comments on this thread are already ‘feisty’.
Meanwhile, next up from ‘The Week’ (whose overall politics you can judge for yourself):
The Week UK
Halal on the rise: what is halal meat and is it inhumane?

Caption: “Slaughter with stunning unnecessarily compromises animal welfare at time of death” – BVA
So, it is possible to summarise the story in limited space, and attribute.
‘The training programmes are quite long compared to other countries, but that’s because we expect a high standard of our doctors.’
Erm, what does the evidence show? Just wondering if the BBC thought of asking that question, given we seem to be well behind most developed countries (and some not-so-developed) when it comes to clinical ‘outcomes’.
How long are the courses for doctors in ‘Asian’ countries?
Quite a few work in the UK.
Or, how much does it cost in some countries to buy a medical degree?

That the RTS are shortlisting their intrusive / abusive piece on the raid of Cliff Richard’s home is some sort of sick joke that suggests that they and the bum lickers that swarm around the BBC are out of control (and not a peep from our protectors at ‘Hacked Off’)

Some stunts get done to death; some go unreported.
Al Murray’s stunt to stand as The Pub Landlord in the General Election as an independent was given massive coverage by the BBC; several times an hour on the News Channel, Six News, Ten News, Daily Politics and This Week. Maybe more. It seemed painfully contrived to me, but the beeboids were beside themselves each time it was shown. Why such interest? Surely not that they would like someone to hole Nigel Farage under the waterline? It was remarkable coverage, given how few independents get even five seconds air time.
Last weekend they pushed the Amjad Bashir defection as a huge story. Then it went wrong and the Beeb went silent. Guido Fawkes is reporting a reasonably funny stunt outside Conservative HQ, but I haven’t seen it on the Beeb at all:
Free Amjad Bashir Protest Outside CCHQ
Ditto the Bolter-Bird affair; great fuss while Bolter made her allegations; silence after he refuted them with evidence.

Apparently, Murray blew his whole legally allowed election budget on one full page advertisement in Metro.
It would seem that it was a publicity stunt. Does he have a tour coming up?
Paddy O’Connell decided that one of the most important stories of the day was an 82-year old ‘coming out’ – whoopee! (yawn).
Changed to World at One to hear that Big British Business thinks we should stay in the EU, this opinion was given flesh with an interview with Juergen Maier of Siemens telling us how his company exports to the EU along with his fellow British companies Volkswagen and BMW no doubt.

That’ll be the News Quiz which tonight featured the hilarious Marcus Brigstocke ranting unfunnily about some pc crappy supposedly anti wimmin situation to do with ghostbusters.
Hats off to Prickstocke – with FGM plus Islamic child rape in our own country, this brave guy really sticks his neck out on the important issues no one else dares raise. Well done Marcus, and well done also for the gratuitously nasty UKIP mention – yet again.

for one day, pride returned to this nation with the celebration of the funeral 70 years ago of the finest leader we ever had in this country winston churchill,what a great man he was and boy could we do with a leader like him running this country in 2015,but we dont do we,oh no we dont.the weak straw men clegg and cameron are in charge now,and that is depressing the whole nation,but worst is to come if millband gets elected.
Anyone else noticed the zombification of Death in Paradise? Since the new chap replaced the old chap in a frankly astonishing episode, we’ve had a run of crime composed entirely without the involvement of the indigenous population, except as backdrop. A succession of pasty-faced tourists murdering each other like they’re in Torquay, apparently this is the only answer to the obvious outrage of a white cop accusing anyone other than a white person of a hideous crime. The only problem with this is that it then fails the Cumberbatch test, in removing from all but the pasty-faced any opportunity to feature in said show. And it makes the whole thing so bl**dy BORING.
It’s nearly always been both white victims and perpetrators from the start. I’ve pointed this out to my wife, but I think it’s more that all these British actors/actresses are getting a paid holiday to a Caribbean island for a week’s work. I’m sure that it’s a bit of an old pals act. Also worth noting Fidel is played by a Londoner and the Chief was in Rising Damp.
It is all a bit Midsomer does El Dorado.
Defo a sweet deal from the Tourist board, but not sure if grabbing cheap rates off season is quite working as the missus commented it looks permanently overcast.
Still the Prescottian boss/subordinate romance was shaping up improbably but tantalizingly. Now dashed?
Still, next up a bunch of rough 70s musos appear to have washed up. Hope there are no campers in the crew carpark.
It’s all a bit weak really though so I shouldn’t take it to heart; a sub Agatha Christie format with a ‘wacky’ detective and his brown subordinates – very 1930’s.
What surprises me is that Lenny henry isn’t up in arms at the lack of juicy villain parts for black actors in this case. It’s all a bit BBC/radical patronising – black cops can’t solve the case without whitey, no, or at least very few, black villains and the perennial pathetic men meme with both female cops being strong and professional the black male cop is dodgy and the white cop a flake.
The whole thing fails even to meet the BBCs rigorous standards; and that takes some doing.
slap,slap on my face,it was 50 years ago winston churchills funeral.
I have quite enjoyed the coverage of the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s funeral. Even the revisionist historians dug up by the bBBC couldn’t find much to say against him.
But no-one, all day, has pointed out that Churchill’s greatest feat was leading this country to save us from being taken over by foreigners who hated us, while our ‘leaders’ in the past couple of decades have willingly given away Britain to … foreigners who hate us.
Sir Arthur,
Don’t forget that in the BBC version of WW2 it was the commonwealth that saved Britain whilst us islanders looked on helplessly. Also, America had nothing to do with it apart from mounting a dastardly surprise attack on the defenceless Japanese with atomic bombs.
Steve, when you say the commonwealth that obviously excludes Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Rhodesia. They don’t want the wrong type of commonwealth getting credit after all.
Every Beeboid and Hollywood lefty director ought to know that the Battle of Britain was won by a squadron of African-American mercenaries.
Correction: LGBTXYZ African-Americans who then held a mass gay wedding on VE Day.
Lobster,
Thank you for correcting my schoolboy error. Must watch more BBC history programmes!
“foreigners who hated us”. I think they also hated the U.S.A.
When de Gaulle ordered that all US soldiers be removed from French soil, Dean Rusk ( on the order of LBJ ) asked de Gaulle ( I paraphrase here ) “Does that include the ones under it ?”
Apparently de Gaulle did not answer.
I think the French never forgave the anglophones for liberating their country.
Let’s face it, the French didn’t exactly put up a fight in 1940, as they thought the Maginot Line would save them, despite the fact that it ended at the Franco-Belgian border.
Only 26 years earlier, the Germans had invaded France through Belgium, so the French military ought to have learned THAT lesson.
Like they never learnt that every invasion from England since Edward III has come via Normandy and the Cherbourg peninsula, not Dover to Calais.
Good point, however Belgium was just as heavily defended. They had 4 super forts which blocked the route from Belgium. Fort Eben Emael the lynchpin was the largest and was designed to hold the Germans long enought for the low landers to flood their country and allow the French to come to their help.
The Germans dropped a squadron of combat engineers (72 men) onto it and took it. The feat was and still is amazing an impregnable fort taken out in one night.
Unfortunately for the French and Belgians, the Germans had progressed onto what is known nowadays as manoeuvrist warfare.
That is utter rubbish. The French gave up a great many men, even once the battle to save France was lost, simply to give the British Expeditionary Force a route to Dunkirk and the time to get off the beaches.
The generals might have miscalculated the line of defence, but don’t disrespect the bravery of the French soldiers who died to give the BEF the chance of escape.
Correct Tony, i was going to post that too…the germans were astonished at the fight the french put up at Dunkirk, and praised their bravery.
“I have quite enjoyed the coverage of the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s funeral. Even the revisionist historians dug up by the bBBC couldn’t find much to say against him.”
Agree. I think SKY’s coverage has been appalling. In particular, the badly timed debate about whether Churchill is overrated. Don’t recall anything similar about Mandela, in spite of the wealth of material.
Still, SKY doesn’t get any money from me.
You should have seen the Channel 4 “News” wankfest last night – leftiness bursting out all over, and with the “wisdom” of the visiting Joan Bakewell. Nobody seemed to have a good word to say about Churchill.
Then we had Darshna Soni in a field somewhere, oop north, where there had been some snow. Things were dire, allegedly but we could see the freely moving traffic on the M6 some distance behind her. “We had some trouble getting here” she said. Why did she bother? Especially after criticising some other hapless driver for daring to venture out into the snow. It was all down to a “Displaced Polar Vortex”, apparently, but they didn’t dwell on that – probably because they knew bugger all about it.
I hate Channel 4 with a vengeance, probably even more than the BBC. I have a real problem trying to identify a white, Caucasian reporter, quite often – they all either sound like brothers from the hood, or wear headscarves, and have funny names.
Diversity and multiculti personified.
Yuk.
Just seen this:
Winston Spencer Cameron and Other Pygmies Climb Onto the Churchill Bandwagon
I particularly like:
“Their daily endeavour has been to dismantle the nation he helped to save, to wreck the constitution he revered and to hand Britain over, supine and impotent, to the domination of the country whose ruthless drive for European hegemony he frustrated and to the petty bullying of European nations he liberated.
The very people he loved have been demographically ousted by mass immigration. The liberties he cherished and fought for, from the fundamental rights of British subjects to small pleasures such as smoking a cigarette in the local pub, have been extinguished…..”
A few decades ago I wouldn’t have believed that I was going to turn into the sort of anti-establishment subversive that I used to despise. Different colour, mind.
It’s time to move Countdown from Channel 4 to ITV then, before Rachel RIley is forced to wear a burka !
It originally started on Yorkshire TV with Richard Whitley , Channel 4 then commissioned YTV / ITV to make it for them .
Just a note on Bakewell, on a BBC radio prog last year, she said she was happy for the govt to take her money upon her death, inheritance tax. Meanwhile…..that doyen of the Left Tony Benn avoided the tax…..how very left of him…….
Here’s a screenshot of the current BBC Mid-East webpage. Note the main article I’ve highlighted
If like me when you see the headline Sisi cuts short visit over Sinai, you would have to wonder what on earth does it mean. Sounds like Sisi was flying, or planning to fly, over Sinai for a short visit but for whatever reason he decided not to or cut it short.
Only when reading the sentence on the side can we see that
Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi cuts short a visit to an African Union summit to deal with attacks that killed at least 32 in the Sinai peninsula.
If you click the link you will then be taken to the webpage where the headline is marginally better Egypt’s Sisi cuts short visit over Sinai attacks
Alarm bells ring for me since clearly the main news is that at least 32 people have been killed in Sinai, not that the Egyptian president cut short a visit to the African Union.
We can read that:
Militants targeted military and police in North Sinai late on Thursday, which officials say killed at least 32 and wounded many more.
The group Sinai Province, which has pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS), said it carried out the attacks.
Only ‘militants’ for the BBC despite their allegiance to Islamic State. We are also told further down the article that 2 children were killed in these attacks, something that if it was Israel that was retaliating against Palestinians would have been in the headline itself.
So it’s clear to see that the BBC are doing their best to play down the actions of these terrorists.
Considering this attack happened today I also have to wonder where are there any BBC articles that actually report on this incident in its headline, and not as an aside.
I can see in the ‘related article’ section of the above story it shows: Egyptian media outrage over Sinai, which again simply covers up the actual incident.
However, only when one goes to this article can we see another related story Deadly attacks hit Egypt’s Sinai, which the BBC have been very quick to remove from its Mid-East webpage, and are minimising its existence as much as possible.
Another thing that struck me as odd in the BBC report, they state: As part of its security crackdown in Sinai, Egypt has been creating a 1km (0.6-mile) buffer zone along the border with Gaza in a bid to stop militants smuggling weapons through tunnels from the Palestinian territory.
Now where would Gazan weapons have come from in order to provide them to their mates in Sinai?
Any weapons in Gaza can only have got there by being smuggled from Egypt, not the other way round. The BBC doesn’t want to let the reader know that these terrorists are assisting Hamas, and Sisi is working with Israel and doing his best to end terrorism in the region. Let’s remember that Sisi was the first Arab leader to refer to Hamas as a terrorist group, but don’t expect the BBC to remind you of that.
The continued use of the use of the term “militants” I find strange from a left-wing media outlet. All that ever crosses my mind when i read “militant” is the Revolutionary Socialist League. I do wonder if IS goal is really only to take over the Liverpool council and then the Labour party.
Long live comrade Hatton!
Long live the Militant Tendency!
Nothing like the unintended conflating ideologies is there?
If our dhimmi BBC thought they could get away with it they would always refer to these Islamic terrorists as ‘freedom fighters’, regardless of their vile actions or intent.
Breitbart London has quite a good recent article on the subject
BBC AREN’T THE ONLY ONES WHO THINK TERRORIST IS TOO LOADED A WORD
What about ‘Biased ITV’?? On the Ten O’clock News they’ve just done a bit about the rise of Antisemitism in Belgium (carried out mostly by Muslims as it happens) and who do ITV finger for these attacks? – the ‘far right’ of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spineless ITV scumbags.
Emily Maitlis on Newsnight, giving the new Greece Finance Minister the standard BBC awkward questions and cutting him off with ‘Alright, …’ before he says more than ‘Er…’. But he wasn’t having it and put her – and the BBC – down repeatedly. Great fun! These guys are going to be fun!
Hilarious to watch the infantile Maitlis get her knickers in a twist just because she wasn’t getting her own way. Well done that Finance Minister, pointing out the classic BBC ambush tactic of leading into an interview with a wholly misleading report. I liked the bit when he stated he should have made his comments in English to avoid errors in translation. He made the BBC look the bunch of agenda driven amateurs we all know it to be.
A classic example of the hysterical, emotive lefty shoutdown fest that masquerades as “incisive political analysis” on Newsshite these days. Best laugh I have had for a long time but an absolute benchmark for anyone who is unclear how ridiculous Katz, Maitlis, Davis and the rest of the clowns involved in this sick joke of a program have become.
BBC Newsnight 30.1.15
The Greek finance minister Yannis Varoufakis came across well. And he exposed the rude, divisive, simplistic and confrontational techniques that are the hallmark of BBC presenters (Brillo excepted), in this case Emily Maitlis. Emily was speaking to a rare thing – a politician carefully and clearly explaining what the situation was and the position of the Greek government. A good interviewer would have kept schtum. Paxman may have adopted a confrontational tone, but rarely with anybody who was being forthright and informative.
Scrap the telly tax.
Paxman may have adopted a confrontational tone, but rarely with anybody who was being forthright and informative.
Exactly what I was thinking. The leftie clique must have purred when they got Paxman squeezed out, but now they’re humiliated by the falling ratings. I suspect they are desperately trying to recover by being more confrontational, but they have no feel for it; they just come across as ill-mannered. All apart from cool dude Evan Davis.
Paxman is supposed to be doing election night for Channel 4. He could steal a lot of viewers – the Beeb could yet regret side-lining him.
Yet more re-writing of history, as pushed by the BBC/Ministry of Truth, and yet more application of today’s politically correct standards to yesterday’s events.

Is this really one of the most important news items in the world right now? That a petition has gained 49,000 signatures?
Here’s another petition, that has secured over 100,000 signatories. No news of this petition on the BBC website, for some reason.

Interesting what the BBC considers ‘newsworthy’, or not.
BBC and Calais. ‘The Huddled Masses’
You know exactly where this item is going from the title.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31008193
What a biased report. It’s all the UK’s fault for not letting them in.
What nice chaps these refugees are!
One ‘refugee’ lists his reasons for preferring the UK to France or Germany etc., but the only reason mentioned by the BBC is to learn English. The one about benefits is conveniently omitted.
.
imagine if calais were to stop its ferry operations like boulogne has already done. what would al beeb say about that!
Dover and folkrstone would have to bear the brunt of an invasion of small boats like the southern Italians.
The original ‘huddled masses’ were escaping pogroms, oppression, and famines, this lot want a better deal from another country’s taxpayers.
Radio 4 ‘Today’ promoting Islam – “why you should visit your local Mosque”.
Our local church were invited to visit a local Mosque, and they were going ahead with the plans, when they decided it would be nice to invited the Muslims to visit their local church. They were met with a stone wall refusal, because they would not set foot in another religions place of worship – yet they expect other to !
It’s just yet another examples of Muslims demanding more & more be given to them while giving nothing in return. Now we see the BBC yet again promoting their favourite religion above all others. It really is sickening.

BBC anti-British agenda steps up a gear as BBC-sponsored bomber is intercepted over English Channel.
Hopefully it was on its way to nuke Salford Quays.
Thats stock photo from last Sept ,not the Bournemouth flypast. I have been in conversation about it with my former AD comrades in arms , During the Cold War , the Soviets use to change the markings at regular intervals to try & confuse , the RAF & Nato , to make it seem they had more servicable aircraft, never really worked, we were wise to that .Thought the Russians were all capitalist now, even though they keep their Soviet Star logo , goes well with the BBC though .
I see a number of Beeb employees are facing large tax bills after investing in dodgy avoidance schemes (greedy bastards)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/11381479/Gary-Lineker-sent-1.3m-bill-over-alleged-tax-avoidance-scheme.html
Linekar, Murphy, Keown plus others no doubt – I trust the reporting/coverage by their employer will be thorough.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha – yeah right.
Tax? That’s a little man’s concern
Maxine Mahinney on the News Channel… ‘and now back to our main story..’ ‘Progressives’ want pardons – actually pardons and apologies – for people convicted when homosexuality was a criminal offence. There’s not enough substance in just reporting the request, so they have to add a tedious ‘how did you get involved in the campaign?’ angle. Feels like another ‘bigging-up’ of a non-issue like ‘gay marriage’. No doubt the Beeb will pressure Diversity Dave with an alection coming up. He has to decide where the vote balance lies. I’m sure he’ll go for it.
Speaking as a gay man, I would like to give my take on this.
The “Progressives” seem to love futile gestures such as this as it gives them the chance to exhibit their hand wringing angst to their like minded audience at Islington dinner parties. It’s the same as apologising for slavery. The past is the past and whatever they do isn’t going to change anything – what happened was of its time, and thankfully the world (well, most of it) has moved on. I would have a lot more sympathy for them if they devoted their energies to fighting the current problems that many gay people in the world have to face – such as being strung up on cranes in Iran or being decapitated in Saudi Arabia, but I expect that would take them well out of their comfort zone.
Well put sir.
I like they way Cabbagepatch, Fry, Tatchell, etc., try to give the impression that these 49,000 unfortunates were convicted because they were homosexual. In fact the vast majority of them were convicted of offences such as importuning, soliciting in a public place, committing an act of gross indecency, loitering in a public convenience, etc. What they were NOT convicted of was being a homosexual male per se. Many of those laws are still active and are regularly violated in public areas like Hampstead Heath ( although our PC Police tend to ignore them nowadays) . They always refer to Alan Turing as being a victim of bigoted laws criminalising homosexuality, but he was convicted of importuning in a public toilet. Turing was an emotionally troubled man whose suicide two years after his conviction is often cited as being brought on by his arrest, although because of his long term psychological problems, any number of causes could have contributed to him taking his own life. I’ll admit that the general attitudes towards male homosexuals in the 1950s and early 60s did leave them open to blackmail, etc. and the law de-criminalising homosexual acts between consenting adults in private was an enlightened piece of legislation which didn’t bring about the end of civilisation as we know it.
I don’t agree there should be blanket pardons dished out as most did commit genuine offences that are still on the statute books.
I fear Andy’s somewhat estranged relationship with reality is proving his downfall yet again.
They always refer to Alan Turing as being a victim of bigoted laws criminalising homosexuality, but he was convicted of importuning in a public toilet.
No, he wasn’t. Turing’s house was burgled by a friend of the man he was having a relationship with. When he went to the police to report the crime, his relationship with Arnold Murray was divulged and both men were charged. Not of anything happening in public – it didn’t need to be: Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, under which Turing was prosecuted, explicitly stated that gross indecency was prosecutable “whether in public or in private”.
I’ll leave others to judge whether the rest of Andy’s pronouncements are to be trusted, seeing as he can’t get the simple facts right.
If we were in the 1950`s now, Scott would probably doing a stretch at the moment , maybe with Ronnie & Reggie in the same cell .
excellent one Essex man.
Jesus!!!!! You’d start an argument in an empty room. Are you saying ALL of the 49,000 homosexuals prosecuted over this period are totally innocent of committing any offences or is it a wicked lie that a number of gents toilets in many towns and cities became notorious as gay pick up places where homosexuals could engage in casual, anonymous sex? It was the same with the pardons the last Labour government gave to all those British soldiers shot by firing squad during the First World War. It didn’t matter to Labour’s gesture politicking that of the three hundred there were 37 murderers among them, 19 rapists, a number for striking senior officers, some who’d deserted more than once ( including one soldier who’d deserted three times and on each occasion had been spared the death penalty and was shot for his 4th offence). In fact there were nearly 3,500 soldiers sentenced to death for various offences and 90% of those had their sentences commuted to terms of imprisonment or released after electing to return to the front line.
Come on then, Scott, deny that most of those gays convicted were actually committing offences and tell me they were all innocent of any wrongdoing. Typical leftie, trying to discredit the whole argument by highlighting one small error. In fact I don’t know why I’m even bothering to reply to a snidey little troll like you. You’re not bothered about debate, you just like abusing those who don’t share your twisted world view. FASCIST!!!!!!
I found it strange that last nights episode of call the midwife featured the storyline of gay man caught in police honey trap in public toilet, public humiliation of him and his wife, sentenced to chemical castration and attempted sucked. All on same day petition launched.
Typical leftie, trying to discredit the whole argument by highlighting one small error.
Oh please. It wasn’t “one small error”, and you know it. You made up the reasons for Turing’s arrest. Why exactly? It would seem that it’s because your fictional account better suited your argument.
And then – as has happened so often before – you started to get huffy when things didn’t go your way.
Although why I would expect anything else from you, after all the other occasions where you’ve proved that you’re incapable of dealing honestly, I don’t know.
How about some ‘alternative’ comedy, a change from the left-wing, homosexual, stuck-in-the-eighties pap produced by the same cosy little clique that clogs up the airwaves?
Writing about It’s That Man Again (ITMA), running in the 1940’s, Angus Calder says:
“Kavanagh aimed, with mathematical nicety, at a hundred potential laughs in the eighteen and a half minutes of actual dialogue which were possible in a half-hour show, including music to make it ‘variety’. That was one laugh every eleven seconds, a cheetah like rate sometines stepped up to one every eight seconds. Kavanagh deftly blended up-to-the-minute topicalities and mild political satire, with timeless and outrageous puns, crazy situation comedy, and grotesque sound effects. the result was always and essentially good radio.”
Image that, “essentially good radio”!

I see that it is still the “radical” left. I suppose the epithet “far” is reserved for the right – it’s a bit more emotive isn’t it?
In the 1980s the common term for the PC Trots was “Loony Left”.
the epithet “far” is reserved for the right
As someone noted previously, another favourite trick is the pseudo-objective smear: ‘… but not all ****** are Nazis.’
At first glance an attempt to be fair and balanced, but really leaves the impression that many/most are Nazis, and even the best are not the sort of company any right-thinking person would want to keep.
BBC’s Darius Bazargan reports from Calais…
“There is many reasons for I choose UK – the important one for language,” Mustafa tells me in broken English.
Then he reels out a list of reasons why Britain is the best place – the only place – that can provide him and his family with salvation
Oddly Darius does’t go on to mention the list and why “the only place”?
Now let me draw you to what the BBC Trust expects…
“The BBC’s journalism for international audiences should share the same values as its journalism for UK audiences: accuracy, impartiality and independence.”
Darius Bazargan ain’t hitting those.

It may seem a tenuous link, but an article via the Guardian/MSN highlights problems that some people are having with John Lewis. Famous for its high standards of customer service, it seems that some things are going to pot. But what could have changed? Here’s a possible clue:
“Has outsourcing played a part in the group’s declining standards? In March John Lewis announced a five-year contract with outsourcing group Capita to provide online aftercare from a contact centre in Glasgow. Around 500 staff were moved over from a company called Teleperformance which used to manage the service that Capita now provides. The contract is worth £93.5m.”
That’s Capita – widely known as Crapita among people who have dealings with them – the company that collects the television poll tax for the BBC. See – told you there was a link.
Here’s the story about John Lewis (http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/has-john-lewis-lost-the-digital-age-plot/ar-AA8NGM9?ocid=mailsignoutmd ) and here’s an overview of Capita (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita).
John Lewis also changed all their store phone numbers to premium-rate 0844 numbers about this time. Don’t know whether this was Crapita’s doing, but there was a huge backlash from customers and JLP had to change them all back to normal numbers again.
People power does work sometimes, so keep complaining to the BBC!
I’ve just finished watching Winston Churchill’s funeral (as shown on BBC Parliament yesterday), and a few thoughts spring to mind…
– Bearing in mind the technology (or lack of) the BBC had back then, they did a fantastic job of covering the occasion.
– Richard Dimbleby was a master of his craft, particularly when he had nothing to say because he would say nothing. It is a shame that his successors are too fond of their own voices and just don’t know when to STFU.
– At no point did I think “What we need now is Fearne Cotton to interrupt proceedings with something completely irrelevant”.
– Members of the public were not asked to “tell us what you think” or “give us your view”. I don’t care what they thought then, and I still don’t now.
– Churchill was often referred to as “the dead man”, because that is what he was. No fannying around in a worry trying not to offend anybody, just telling it like it was.
– And at no point was the phrase “… and Labour says …” used.
Richard Dimbleby really sounded authoritative with his coverage. The great Tom Fleming was also perfect on such occasions. Usually these days it is Richard’s son David who anchors the coverage of big national events on the BBC, or Huw Edwards.
It isn’t their fault but they don’t quite have the gravitas and timbre of Dimbleby Senior or Fleming, in my opinion.
Other than Wolf Hall, the Churchill funeral and Smiley’s People from the early 1980s I found NOTHING on all 4 BBC TV channels last week worth watching. Yes, the funeral was excellently covered, and very moving. I watched every second of it 50 years ago – and was just as transfixed yesterday.
THAT was the BBC we used to pay the licence tax for. Not today’s dross.
It is only when events like Churchill’s funeral are re-broadcast that it becomes apparent how far the BBC has sunk. The preferred MO of the left is the slow drip-drip with each step being imperceptible. Want to know where political correctness comes from? It is the left. Take control of the use of language and you take control of how people think. That is why questioning any of their dogma is met with howls of protest and terms like ‘racist’. No dissent can be tolerated lest the hoi polloi start to think for themselves again.

Beeboids orgasmic about the Leftest’ rallies in Spain.
What will they do if Nigel Farage comes on with a soundbite about the people of Europe being fed up with faceless Brussels bureaucrats? Are they aware that all these ‘Leftists’ could cause the collapse of the Euro and dent the reputation of their Socialist Utopia? Doesn’t seem that they are. More likely they believe that if ‘Leftists’ stamp their feet loudly enough, a tooth fairy will always emerge to make some further ‘investment’.
They know what they are doing. ‘Embrace and extend’ – if you see a popular movement, emulate it and steer its supporters into your own arms. Thus ‘disenchantment’ becomes Russell Brand (or indeed Boris Johnson, on the other side).
Got to be honest.
Seeing as we all know all the BBCs blatant bias, lies and sheer malicious intent-and we document it, repeat it and are all aware of its 24/7 pulchritude…I find myself feeling free to just enjoy the few snippets of decent bits of local radio and the non-PC old school like Tony Blackburn and Brian Matthew.
Hell, I enjoyed a bit of Jonathan Ross and Steve Wright over this last month!
So then-get your news from non-tainted sources like those we`ve all come to know and love on the `net!
Enjoy the BBC fall apart very soon as we all see the license fee become as discredited as the old dog license-and the Net replace it in our esteem-and soon after our wallets fall in line with the new methods of paying for news. The License Fee won`t form part of that.
Enjoy the Greens and Labour compete for Marx`s old raincoat as the Tories mop up(crap as they are)-and UKIP begin to morph into a party worth the bother-few years yet.
In short-that the BBC dare to offer up their Cliff Richard clips as deserving a Grammy or whatever, was their Mad Cow moment-like Maggie testing out the Poll Tax in Scotland.
The BBC twists in its own lavender flatus…and calls it wind power.
Comedy Central…and not in a funny way.
Yea I enjoy Wrighty, Matthews and Blackburn as well, Simon Bates has reprieved The Golden Hour at 9.00am on Radio Devon, give it a try on the IPlayer.
On the Weekly Politics on Thursday night the train expert, Mr Portillo, said that we should be concerned about the growth of Islamophobia. Even Mr Neil , the host, nodded in agreement. Portillo is the same man who a couple of weeks ago said he was disgusted by the way some leaders of the Muslim community who were saying that the Charlie Hebdo staff had only themselves to blame. He also said that Muslims had to understand that Freedom of Speech was a dearly held right in the West and that they needed to adjust to that. He has rapidly reverted to standard the BBC line that our reaction to Islamic terror is the real threat and concern.
The elite should wake up and realise that non Muslims are frightened of the growing threat from Islam. These ordinary folks are worried that none of the elite, their so called leaders, show any determination to confront Islam and to protect our values and our way of life.The constant soporifics and lies that the elite have been feeding us for years, often via the BBC, are losing their effect. We see the mayhem that radical Islam is causing all over the world. We see Muslim men raping white girls on a massive scale in our own country with the connivance of our local leaders. We see the contempt with which many Muslims in our country regard our values and the way in which more and more often they are given concession after concession by our elite. We see the slide towards Islamification and we are frightened of it and don’t want it.
If none of the elite are willing to step forward and speak up for us and begin to turn the tide of Islamifcation engulfing our country and the rest of Europe, then we will be forced to turn elsewhere to find leaders who will.
Remember how Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn was shot for voicing his concerns. Read more about how this brave honest openly gay man confronted the religion of peace and got a bullet for it. He described himself as a “pragmatist” but the Dutch media and British of course called “far right”.

beware of the rise of the dangerous far left in europe and the uk,greece is a warning to us all.
What is interesting is that despite Spain and Greece both considering far right options, despite the atrocities in France, the public have switched to the far left.
With UKIP having peaked in the UK is it going to be Green party that suddenly accelerates its support in the UK?
If anyone still wants to vote Green after seeing the party leader getting grilled by Andrew Neil they should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

If the Watermelons split the socialist vote, bring it on.
Shame the Greens didn’t do better on TV. The stronger they are the more they will squeeze Labour. But after those TV interviews even someone thick enough to vote for Milliband’s Hampstead fauxsocialists would already be in a mental health unit if they switched to the Greens and thus unable to visit the ballot box.
Operation Andy.
I see that the Toady Programme on BBC R4, this morning was pulling the stops out to make amends to the camera shy Andy Burnham’s following his car crash Newsnight interview during the week.
Labour’s Jim Naughtie had Roy Hattersley along, along with some left wing journalist to give Burnham a ‘get out of jail free’ card.
Between them Naughtie and Hattersley did their best to make sure that people knew that ‘traitor’ Alan Milburn was up to his neck in privatisation, Naughtie leading the charge with Hattersley joining in, agreeing with Naughtie that ‘Milburn should have declared an interest’ in a privatised NHS when he criticised Burnham a few days ago.
There. Jim fixed it for you, Andy!

Agreed. George can nail it on occasion. He did here brilliantly. Straw turned up, at least, but came across badly. Blair screwed him like he did the rest the country for his own mad ego.
Nice to see an angry George doing what he does best. Yes, I agree. He did brilliantly on Thursday.
George Galloway is a real enigma. Too straight nd outspoken for Liebor. He can be absolutely spot on a lot of the time and he has been considerably.
Here’s George on top of his game tearing a new a&$e for a few warmongering, long but 5mins to 20mins the verbal Gatling gun mows down a political career.
I may not agree with him on much but he’s a proper politician. Why so few?
Vote UKIP.
Sickening…you twerps here praising this traitor, and make no mistake, he is a traitor….this man praised a tyrant, Hussein, shook his hand, knew that he had ordered the gassing of Kurds, said nothing. He is a rabid anti-semite, hates Israelis and as far as i’m concerned, that guy that attacked him recently did not go far enough, just tickled him. Horrible excuse for a man.
I also salute George’s indefatigability.
He’s a proper rancid, Jew-hating demagogue. Bradford’s staying an Israel-free zone, insha’Allah.
Vote UKIP.
You must be mad! Galloway is the epitome of the corrupt and treacherous politician. He makes a very good living out of supporting the enemies of this country and he is as wrong about Iraq as he is wrong about everything else.

MP Katy Clark calls for action over TV Licensing threatograms. The BBC, as statutory TV Licensing Authority, has received widespread criticism for the legally deceptive wording of these letters:
More here.
Why is there never a “far left” pronouncement by the BBC?
The clue to answer your question is here.
A poster of mine complained to the BBC after they had referred to the BNP as a far-right party. He pointed out to them that the BNP were actually left-wing.
Here’s the reply he received:
Dear Mr D****
Thanks for your e-mail.
I understand you have concerns with our presenters and reporters referring to the BNP or similar parties as “far-right” when you feel that this description is inaccurate.
I can assure you that we carefully consider the terminology before referring to any organisation or person in our news reports.
The BNP was born out of the National Front – a “national” party, who like many parties purporting to represent the national interests of a particular country, claim themselves to be national socialists. NS is an extremely left wing form of political belief – Hitler’s Nazi party were national socialists, and therefore technically left wing – but so left wing as to appear right wing in their extreme and racist views. The same can apply to the BNP.
I would like to assure you that I’ve registered your feelings about this matter on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and also their senior management. It ensures that your points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered across the BBC.
Thank you once again for taking the trouble to share your views with us.
Regards

You couldn’t make it up.
Brilliant! Thanks for posting Teddy Bear.
And I quote:
‘…technically left wing – but so left wing as to appear right wing in their extreme and racist views. The same can apply to the BNP…’
The twisted BBC mind has no limits.
Thank you 😉
….pure poetry. You couldn’t make up the twisted BBC thinking. A mix of Edward Lear and George Orwell.
Thanks for a good laugh – courtesy of the BBC 🙂

“How much do we love the NHS?”
Let Hugh count the ways, starting with…
“Accident and emergency targets missed, longer waits, ambulances queuing at hospitals, rising patient numbers, intense pressures…”
Nice weaponising there, Mr. Pym.
