Sorry for the delay in publishing this NEW Open Thread but I have been watching the euphoria with which the BBC greeted the SNP manifesto launch! The hard left Caledonian marxism from Sturgeon and co seems to stimulate the Comrades. I will now open the floor to YOU!

Never listened to it in entirety before but I can’t believe how accurate 47 years on…………….
Also in this interview, note the disdain from our interviewer and the ridicule from the audience, scary parallels to the way a certain intelligent politician of today is treated. It makes it obvious that the hatred of the British people from the left has been going on since before many of us were born…
I remember watching a programme on the BBC as a child (in the Seventies) when Charles Wheeler showed a graph explaining that immigrants (contrary to Enoch Powell) in the future would still only be a tiny proportion of the population, even with the highest predicted growth rates.
Well we are living in the future and that claim is completely wrong. I remember at the time (even though I was not concerned about it) thinking “I bet that is wrong”. When I think about it now it was just a blatant lie.
BBC = (Leftist) Lies
Charles Wheeler ( Rudolf Hess Look a like )
”Wheeler was married to Dip Singh and the couple had two daughters: the barrister Marina Wheeler (the wife of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson) and Shirin Wheeler, the BBC’s Brussels correspondent.”
He’s got a dog in this fight.

I wonder if BBC bias ever comes up over the dinner table when the sisters and their families get together!
Nothing quite like a bit of nepotism.
The bBC is incestuous.
David Frost dated Diahann Carroll, he’s also got a dog in this fight.

Enoch Powell was a legend in his day. How we miss his like today.
Yes, Powell’s speech has been much mis-reported and distorted by the liberal left. Powell was no racist , but he was a patriot ,and that has become an equally vilified word in the leftist lexicon.
BBC journalists at that time were given instructions to be careful when reporting stories about these immigrants. They were not to use language that would incite hatred against the new immigrants. Pity they are not instructed today in a similar way not to broadcast biased views and slander against the Jewish State which incites hatred against the Jews .
BBC Bias is the Order Order of the day it seems:
http://order-order.com/2015/04/21/bbc-website-balance-is-a-joke/#_@/LnXkjsWWZFKz9g
BBC overt political bias. They have let the mask slide too far. Each day, more previously trusting people are becoming aware of how they are being conned by the BBC’s propaganda. The Beeboids have no concept of the long term social damage that they have done and are doing to our nation.
BBC Radio Manchester this morning and some drone was on Oldham market asking about the election. Nothing you haven’t heard before … one wishes he could vote for Sturgeon, one will vote Labour to save the NHS, one will vote UKIP because of immigration immediately followed by one who believes immigration and the EU is a good thing (see what they did there?). None of this was from the horse’s mouth just the presenter relaying what people had said. It could have been all made up. Then a genuine interview with a … Khan who had voted Tory and was now switching to Labour. Why? Buddabuddabuddabudda … couldn’t understand a word he was saying. I know now that when Andrew Neil says ‘public service broadcasting at it’s best’, he’s taking the piss.
George Galloway was in Oldham a few days ago, and they have a ‘respect’ candidate. Given that the Labour majority over the Fib Dems was (and has been) around 10% it could turn the seat into a marginal.
Only two parties can win, the rest are far too low in the polls. Just a matter of how many votes Respect will take from Labour.
‘they have a ‘respect’ candidate’
Ah, that’s the one he hasn’t blocked on twitter.
“Foxhunting, foxhunting”, “the evils of foxhunting”….The BBC found out telling yet more lies…This time Andrew Marr telling everyone the foxhunting was Cameron’s “favourite sport”..

Surprised BBC ‘Graficks’ haven’t knocked out a Buli Boy image to go with, just as they have pulled a neat May Day Kremlin balcony job on a certain Shadow Chancellor having the time of his kampf… at an equally different time.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/04/21/how-the-bbc-stitched-up-cameron-with-a-fake-quote-about-fox-hunting/
I type in Miliband into the BBC website and get….
Miliband: Cameron ‘threatening the integrity’ of UK
Ed Miliband has said that Ed Balls “would make an excellent chancellor”
Ed Miliband: Cameron ‘playing dangerous games’ on SNP
Miliband pledges 20,000 more nurses in the NHS

Miliband: Cameron ‘threatening the integrity’ of UK

Spot the difference between the BBC and the Labour Party spin office. The BBC are so desperate for the Labour Party to win it is pathetic – as well as an abuse of power.
It would be interesting if time were available to trawl the Iplayer for the first words spoken on every bBC radio news bulletin across the network. I’m confident in most cases they would be “The Labour Party” or “Ed Miliband” especially on the indoctrinating Radio 1.
Thinking back to the coverage by the BBC of the 2010 election, there was an economics guru politician who virtually lived in the BBC studios as they (successfully?) fought a damage limitation exercise, knowing that Labour were unelectable, to big up the Liberal Democrats.
That politician was one Vince Cable. Has his opinion been asked this time?
This election the Liberal Democrats are effectively invisible on the BBC whereas they had 25%, or more?, of the air time in 2010. I suppose the BBC have never forgiven them for stabbing them in the back after all their support by going into coalition with the Tories.
If there are any Lib Dem supporters on the site, do you feel the coverage you have received from the BBC since entering government (from news and current affairs and “humour” departments) has been up to the standards of impartiality proclaimed by the BBC?
Despite appearances to the contrary on the site at present you do not need to add at the end of your message who you are voting for this time.
The Goons must hate these…
This clever device transmits a TV signal via Wifi to an Android device, it requires a free app which if you convert your TV to an Android TV with an inexpensive USB dongle you can pull all your aerial cables, but still watch live TV. Its even possible to record, by connecting an external drive.
Of course I don’t condone breaking the law, but I’m guessing it would be hard to detect as it transmits through your home wifi network and the normal proof of not needing a licence is to remove all aerial connections.
Again technology is moving ahead of the archaic licence fee.

Edit: Missed out the point I was trying to make – high time BBC was pay to view only…
A post from ‘Grumpy’ on Guido, as its about BBC bias its worthy of a mention here.
Grumpy • 8 minutes ago
The BBC daytime Soap “Doctors” episode 209 broadcast at the very end of the unregulated period featured a wicked prospective MP who was abusing his wife, date-raping his assistant and trying to poison his pregnant mistress (OK, its a soap).
But can anyone guess which party this wicked would-be MP belonged to from the picture below?
What ever happened to Alan B`stard ? I think he became a Labourite in a later series .
The ‘loose connection’ problem is causing havoc this morning.
There were constant technical breakdowns during Major’s ‘Kippers Come Home’ plea. Sky, of course, went off for a couple of commercial breaks. The Beeb would cut away to Milipede for a while. But at 11:22 they had a big BREAKING NEWS stunt with graphics, sound, the works. The Captain of the sunken immigrant boat has been charged and deaths are ’30 times what they were during the same period last year’. Let’s ignore the probably dodgy ‘period’ chosen for effect; this breaking story that interrupted Major’s big speech was so ‘breaking’ that my mother heard it (7am radio news?) hours earlier. Lynton Crosby must have been watching; furious!
Then on DP, Brillo humiliated Labour’s Shadow Health Minister Jamie Reed. Reed resorted to answering something Brillo never asked. Brillo wasn’t having it: ‘I know you hear me; you needn’t try to filibuster…’ At this brutal point, the link went dead.
Worth watching this one – from 20:48
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05s805f/daily-politics-21042015
… or, alternatively, did a Labour supporter working for the Beeb pull the plug?
‘…did a Labour supporter working for the Beeb pull the plug?’
Need a Downfall meme for these with Kilroy-Silk saying… ‘Conspiracy… or cock-up? You… decide!”
Did anyone discover exactly why the link failed ?
My own suspicion is that a ‘supporter’ in the Carlisle studio took pity on the hapless Reed (my MP).
Surely someone asked what was the problem ?
At least he has made it clear, or said Labour was, an awful lot. As mud.
What independent experts?
Tell it often enough chum, at least until the line drops.
Details, details, details…
You know as well as I do that the whole thing is a a cluster-FUBAR.
I know we have all been worried about the three jihadi schoolgirls.
Fear not, as it would seem their mission has been successful:
“The three east London schoolgirls who fled the UK for Syria have joined a fearsome group of British female jihadis who run the lslamic State’s ultra-religious police force, it has been reported.
Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, both 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16, crossed over the Turkish-Syrian border last February and are believed to be living in the Syrian city of Raqqa.
Begum has forged social media links with three of the British leaders of the al-Khansa brigade – an all-women militia set up by the terror group a year ago – and it is understood the trio are now training with one of the notorious females arms of ISIS.
Covered in black from head-to-toe and wielding automatic weapons, the group has been accused of doling out savage beatings on the streets of Raqqa and spying on its citizens.
They are said to mercilessly patrol the streets of the terror group’s adopted capital and has previously declared children as young as nine should be married, women should obey men – who are their masters – and remain ‘hidden and veiled’ at all times.”

I’m sure the BBC will be eager to report on this latest news, given the concern it showed when the innocent little darlings first set off to join the genocidal cult.
‘the group has been accused of doling out savage beatings on the streets’
All they need to do is get pissed first and the British legal system and media will cut them all the slack the poor moppets could hope for.
I suppose it beats revising for those GCSEs.
Well, that sets my mind at ease. It’s also good to see young people today are learning about respect 😑

Migrant attacks / Fleeing for their lives.

https://twitter.com/SpectatorSimon/status/590433034635243520
Interesting feed.
Earlier he has posted a map of the route these poor chaps are taking to their doom from all round the continent.
This comment surely raises a valuable question in context:
Magnvs Britannicvs @Steedore
s’funny. Some BBC’er reported on @bbc5live a few weeks ago that the poor lambs were “fleeing the chaos in Libya” @robindbrant @wsj …….
The whole thing doesn’t add up, especially between what is happening and what the media say is happening.
Also, to paraphrase Admiral Beatty: ‘there seems to be something wrong with these bloody boats these days’.
They appear to sink within a few miles of setting off in what appears to be not severe weather conditions. Why?
Last night’s News at Ten stated that these poor unfortunates paid €1,000 each for the privilege. Two apparently obvious, but unasked questions immediately came to me.
1) Where do these folk from grinding poverty find sums of that size?
2) Couldn’t they have paid less to hop on a plane, bus or ferry to come by legitimate means and claim asylum? Unless it was always their intention to come here illegally.
A family member was volunteering in Hong Kong and there were a few asylum seekers who had been given refuge, including a group of Somali girls.
She asked how they had reached HK, expecting daring tales of crossing Africa and Asia. They looked blankly at her and explained they had bought plane tickets.
Labours Jamie Reed getting hammered by Andrew Neil on Daily Politics today, (26 min in) when the connection to him in Carlisle mysteriously goes blank. Another strange tech glitch that saves Labour blushes.
‘Oh, someone pulled the plug…I wonder why’ says Neil.
The question is… will this ever get past the DP live feed to feature anywhere else, at least on the BBC network? Such car-crash tripe would be lambasted in analysis from Today to Newsnight, and HIGNFY at week’s end… were it any other party.
We haven’t seen the edited down bBC News network broadcast version yet, they’re probably working on it right now.
SPEECH FOR ED MILLIBAND :
” Friends…I..I.. what I want to say is this….that while I was traveling around the country..I…I met a girl..a girl called Mary.. and Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow ..and what I want to say is this..that..that everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go”….pause for applause…………” And then I met a man, a man called Humpty..a man called Humpty Dumpty…And friends Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall….And friends Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. And friends…all the Kings horses and all the Kings men could NOT put Humpty back together again…..But friends what I say i this…we’re better than that…as a nation we’re better than that. Friends under the next labour Government and with me as Prime Minister..Humpty Dumpty would be put back together again.”..Applause
Thanks for this laugh. I can hear Ed’s voice with these words and cannot remove them

WATCH: What watershed? Paddy Ashdown calls Tories ‘b**tards’ seven times live on BBC http://bit.ly/1aOzbIa
A bit like BBC ‘news vs. ‘not news’ ((c) A. Newsroom Tealady), it seems their fade switching seems equally selective depending on whether it’s stuff they like to hear going out on air or, of course, not.
Control the edit suite, guys ‘n gals.
Unique.
Pantsdown has been looking weary recently as his ‘boy’ Nick has shrunk, but the line he took this morning seemed quite effective (if you’re that way inclined). Major had just spent half an hour stirring up fears of extremism, only for Paddy to very effectively piggyback onto his theme. It could be argued that the use of ‘b**tards’ was necessary to vividly remind viewers that Major had similar problems with the Conservative Party. The use of such language is always a difficult decision, but, on balance, on this occasion, we probably…
Haha – We have the ‘skills’ to do customer relations for the Beeb!
OT – but some regulars might appreciate this.
Where’s Nigel?
Actually, perhaps not that OT as the BBC seems to have done their best to pretend he isn’t there.

I cannot watch television without paying a hefty tax to the richest broadcaster in the world, without the threat of imprisonment. I would like to see the licence fee removed and the BBC stand on its own two feet with the public paying a price they feel is fair for the output.
Somehow I don’t think they will choose to broadcast that though !

No concerns, for Quran/Hadith tub thumpers, whose textual references are identical in word and plead to those of ISIS?.
So why concern over Nazi groups whose aims with reference to
Jews are essentially the same?.
But … if it was Hate not hope, the UAF whose tactics are identical

so restricted, so skewed it inverts the truth?.
Give them airtime, column inches, elevate them to the laughable
“voice of reason” ….
Truly … “the world turned upside down”.
Has the current affairs department of the BBC completely given up employing people with blue eyes? Maybe they think blue eyed fair haired people reflect a nasty kind of north European imperialism. In my region instead we have a highly disproportionate conveyor belt of Asian babes (and occasionally boys) to read our news. Nothing wrong with that but highly unrepresentative of the population they serve. More preaching then.
You of course realise that in Pakistan, half of the news readers are white European…
…on second thoughts.
And the television head of religious affairs there is white also..
White atheist woman?
Can you imagine the uproar if this happened in a Christian school? You’d never hear the last of it. However, as is standard these days, this will be ignored by the Leftists and their media comrades who are terrified of offending Muslims.

Sound quality. Again. BBC News. Lunchtime.
This time it’s what them sound engineers call ‘noise’, with a nice low volume level. You can hear what is being said, but it gives an ‘amateurish’ feel through the production. The event was the Green Party education talkshop. Their spokeswoman brought her little boy with her. Mumsnet will be engaged. Politics? It was painful and I couldn’t watch. BBC low volume / ‘noise’ combinations have now been broadcast on BBC News , during this election, when covering the Greens (today) and previously Nick Clegg (who the BBC is giving little to no coverage) and Nigel Farage (mixture of sound defect techniques with Farage).
Political bias can be oh, so subtle. Or not.
Conspiracy or cock-up? You decide.
On the Daily Politics today they interviewed a Northern ‘activist’/politician (I didn’t catch all of it ,so maybe somebody could enlighten me as to his identity) who was prattling on about Northern devolution.
I find it utterly depressing that even the Tories are starting to propose back-door regionalisation when the whole idea was hammered in recent regional referenda(Fatty Prescott was around,I seem to remember). The people of England don’t want this surreptitious EU-sponsored break-up of the UK ……yet another reason to………….VOTE UKIP!!!
On the rancid V.D. show yesterday they preceded one segment with spinning cartoon heads of each leader accompanied by a statement in their own words. The quote they used for UKIP was ” we are incapable ” and for good measure they flashed it up at the end of the segment.
O.T. but very good. I wonder if the Beeb will give him a slot?

Radio 4 ‘Today’ goes off to the West country to investigate the reaction to the death (natural) of a local Police officer. They say that people today don’t trust the Police, but instead of telling the truth about why, they claim it’s because of “Stephen Lawrence” their great totem, and other similar cases.
There’s no mention of the moratorium Nu Liebour placed on prosecuting the crimes of Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis, being their favourite brown eyed boys and allowed to do what ever they want.
There was no mention of Police arresting the victims and families of victims of the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs. No mention of the drug dealing the Police turned a blind eye to, nor the very enthusiastic prosecution of Political Correctness.
You cannot trust the Police to take any reasonable action on your behalf is there is an ‘Asian’ involved.

‘Another Last Chance For Action’ (Climate Change)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-32399909
No opposing view considered. Airbrush out those who disagree.
La la la…
..
It’s a measure of the BBC’s complete inability to master even basic logic that it can write the headline ‘Another last chance….’
There can only be one ‘last chance’ – otherwise it wasn’t the last one.
The person who wrote that story seems eminently suited to regurgitating the tripe dished out by climate astrologers. And to holding down a job with an organisation as institutionally dim as the BBC.
My BBC Breaking News email announced this morning that Tesco has lost £x.xx Billion, which sounds awful.

Such things surely require investigation and official response at the highest levels?
At the most basic level it has always intrigued me that a bozo in a hoodie can turn up claiming official sanction.
Sure a uniform means little more, but in this day and age I’d be dubious letting anyone over the threshold dressed as most TVL sales guys do.
It’s like they know they don’t have to bother.
Those policemen should have been sent to Rotherham, where their time would be better spent.

They were interviewing someone from the Socialist Labour Party (? – Never ‘eard of ’em, all though their “leader” is Arthur Scargill – I thought he was dead) this morning, with few, if any interruptions. He must be a BBC ‘goody’.
Then we had sing-song Tom Fielden with a short piece on James (Gaia) Lovelock, telling us, well, nothing about the climate.
Then, later, another short piece, this time with Brian Hoskins, telling us even more, well, nothing, about the climate, political interest in climate change, and a small plug for Paris. What was all that about, then?
Of course, BBC-NUJ is politically lined up to support this-

After Cameron on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday ducking questions about benefit cuts, is it any wonder they are pulling out of debates?.
Newsnight evasion by Tories on benefits, or is that …”welfare”
… IDS?, (don t be silly, far too much of a coward), its Mark Harpers turn to do the disappearing act and, surprise surprise!, apparently the Selfservatives could not be contacted for comment?.
What? … on the poorest, most vulnerable, their erm “record” … what about the “welfare” cuts, the appalling number on sanctions
How very strange … isn t there an election on?.
On three occasions (including Cameron) yesterday, Tories butted in when supposedly discussing world issues, to overtly continue to lie about their record on the economy again …
Hmm … The Tories “a lie a day” election continues with, “a bigger lie a day”, obviously, from now on
“… the appalling number on sanctions”
As someone who obviously has his finger on the pulse can you advise the real reasons that the DWP put people on sanctions.
I thought it was usually that the person receiving benefits was not keeping to their side of the bargain, but I could be wrong.
Nearly fifty per cent of people assessed as fit for work win their appeals. Maybe there’s a clue there. The question you should ask is why are people with cancer and other serious illness being treated like this, (while Call Me Dave rushes to be Mr Generosity to illegal immigrants)? Inappropriate use of ‘payment-by-results’ perhaps.
[PS I don’t claim a penny, so save yourself the trouble…]
oops! not interested in another Tory no show then … more refusal to face scrutiny?, more diversion and repeated lies by Cameron and co?.
Hmm ok,
Welfare recipients including the disabled sick, terminally ill have all been branded benefit scroungers by this coalition.
If sanctioned, or sanctioned and you appeal, you don t go on the unemployment figures, and cross-party report endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury suggested that sanctions are in large part to blame for the growing use of food banks. you could say, the reason the Government is doing this is that it gets them off the JSA claimant figures, so it looks like there are fewer people unemployed.
But hey, if its so just so easy to argue about it, why yet another Tory no show on Newsnight eh!.
“Torygraph … minister says some benefit sanctions are ‘inhuman’
“Nick Boles, the business minister, says that sanctions in some cases ‘are a worry’ and may have to be reformed”
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said the four-week sanctions were also “wreaking havoc with people’s ability to find work”.
Pressures of continuing mass immigration on U.K schools.
Yet to be reported on BBC ‘Education’ pages-
“Tory minister orders inquiry into impact of immigration on schools when large numbers of pupils speak no English.
“Nicky Morgan asks officials to start ‘mapping the pressures’ on schools.
“Education Secretary says immigration is a ‘big issue’ for voters.
“Last year warned Ofsted it was not ‘helpful’ to talk about migrant ‘influx.’ ”

Isn’t the story here ‘Tory minister emerges from five year coma as election approaches’. I wonder why? This could be a useful event for medical researchers to investigate.
More money for the human rights lawyers and plenty help from the PR Dept of Al Beeb …..

One for Sturgeon and her team to deal with?
WTF have they been doing in Africa for the last 2000 years?
Will INBBC do update on its ‘three little Muslim maids from school’?
‘Daily Star’-
“Brit jihadi teens join brutal all-female IS police to flog and torture women.
“THREE British schoolgirls who fled to Syria have joined an all-female group of jihadis who run the Islamic State’s (IS) fearsome police force.”

In its latest propaganda fest in respect of “climate change” on Today this morning Tom Fielden – a BBC “science” correspondent – allowed James Lovelock to speak uninterrupted on the distress (ie Lovelock’s and the BBC’s) that “climate change” issues aren’t further up the priorities list of the politicians.
In the best deliberately misleading traditions of the BBC and “climate change” nutters generally Lovelock issued a half-truth concerning Mrs T’s part in all this. In the 80’s Mrs T had indeed warned the world about “global warning” and Lovelock praised her mightily for doing so. What Lovelock ignored – and Feilden (an “impartial” journalist remember) didn’t mention – was that in 2003 Mrs T almost completely recanted from her earlier views as reported here. As Booker writes “the fact that she became one of the first and most prominent of “climate sceptics” has been almost entirely buried from view”. Leading the “buriers” is, of course, the BBC.
The mendacity and lying by the warmists will get worse as the Paris meetings get nearer. As an observation, I suspect that if Miliband is PM at that time (or, now I think about it, Cameron) I would be very surprised if he didn’t put the UK down for an annual subscription to the
international kleptocracystruggle against “climate change” equal to or in excess of the annual cost of the NHS.Beeboids and ‘Camp of the Saints.’
Beeboids’ other main political campaign, apart from getting Labour elected, is to speed up the complete colonisation of Europe by open-door, mass immigration from Africa and Asia (notably from Islamic countries).
Beeboid ‘reporters’ on this have embedded themselves with illegal immigrants, and such ‘reporters’ see European countries as legitimate targets for mass immigration.
Again, Beeboids show blatant political bias for mass immigration in this, and they do not represent the interests of European societies, nor do they look to the irresponsible consequences of their political campaigning on Europe, inc U.K.
Have Beeboids considered this?:-
“Lifeboat Ethics:
the Case against Helping the Poor.”
“Some say they feel guilty about their good luck. My reply is simple: ‘Get out and yield your place to others.’ This may solve the problem of the guilt-ridden person’s conscience, but it does not change the ethics of the lifeboat. The needy person to whom the guilt-ridden person yields his place will not himself feel guilty about his good luck. If he did, he would not climb aboard. The net result of conscience-stricken people giving up their unjustly held seats is the elimination of that sort of conscience from the lifeboat.”
