Here’s so more of that caring-sharing leftism

Bourgeoisie Fauxcialism (they all have the stamp of patrician class brats about them) its all about love ,don’t you know?
The Yob Left are back.
The irony is that that they are calling for proportional representation, if we had such a thing they would have a lot more to worry about right now!
Obviously their memory doesn’t go back 4 years ago when I remember walking down to the polling station to vote on PR.
frankly they are just proving our point and hardening our resolve the left are not will not and should never be trusted with any kind of democracy and should be treated with the contempt they deserve
IIRC, the vote share in 2005 was 36.3% LAB to 32.7% CON, a margin much lower than in this GE, and moreover, the Conservatives polled more votes in England than Labour did.
And yet, I cannot remember any mayhem on the streets of England from the Right at this result. There was no trashing of Labour HQ, and nobody had spray-painted Karl Marx’s tomb.
Ah…. but…. this is legit free expression of outrage, innit? That’s the crucial difference.
It’s possible Adele was thinking of breaking out the cardboard and markers at the time, but given the BBC would have deemed such a thing ‘not news’ ((c) An. Editor of Integrity), hardly worth the bother.
Who Danny stacks HIGNFY & MTW panels with, to keep the satire properly directed now Nige is off the menu, will be interesting.
“Charlotte.. Your agent called: seems the BBC has block booked you for the next five years”.
Still, nice to see the BBC reporting protests in Whitehall again.
Ms. Church going public with her mental state is brave.
Nothing quite says free speech and democracy than smoke bombs and missiles to protest vote results.
So stupid she does not realise Labour run the HHS in Wales, where the Torys gained seats.
As predicted more of the same

“More and more people are voting for free with a touch of the button,” said BBC Arts Director Jonty Claypole”
As the dust settles,
The Conservatives have won….
And we have Carswell.

Dave’s Cast Iron Promise.
Brittle Pretenderendum?
And Our Liberty?!
BBc Breakfast. Charlie is with some new liebour female MP. He just keeps on asking the same question about the percentage of female MPs. At least 3 times the same question in a different format. The Liebour bint helpfully informs us that women have to give their jobs up to run for parliament. but men tend to have “other” incomes.
Owen Jones now on tells us about how he thinks there will be internal strife in the Conservative party “less of a majority than John Major”.
“The Conservatives very cleverly pinned the financial crisis, the global financial crisis on Labour”
Thanks for that Owen.
What, the Tories identified who was responsible for the financial fuck up? The conniving unethical bastards……
Perhaps the left could explain how the tories could have been responsible for the financial disaster in 2008 – 2010? The Socialists were in charge of the ship of state. A bit like Captain Smith of the Titanic if I am allowed to stretch the metaphor, he knew there were icebergs about (i.e. global financial crisis) and he could have a) altered course, or b) slowed down instead of steaming full speed into the berg field.
The Titanic disaster could have been avoided by APPLYING A DIFFERENT POLICY, even without full knowledge of the situation his behaviour still strikes everyone as grossly reckless. Similarly, irrespective of ‘icebergs’ the Brown regime could have taken steps to avoid financial catastrophe but they refused to countenance these for narrow, partisan, political considerations.
The socialists were spending like drunken sailors on their client classes before the financial catastrophe
No Bunny you got Cameron a large majority you Tory stooge. How does that feel?
Well, you’d better look after it then, it’ll return with a vengeance, on a rabbit hunt later in the year.
Booker socks it to the BBC over its climate change misinformation, and obvious agenda – again.
You’d think they might have learned something, by now…

BBC self promotion advert for Panorama –
“You have voted but did you get what you want!”
“Panorama investigates………..”
FFS BBC
haha I thought exactly the same – did you get what you want they say – they really should give it a rest and we got a Liberal Democrat on Marr telling us their membership has gone up by 5000 since the polls closed righto love
No we didn’t get what we wanted. We didn’t get Nigel into Parliament, thanks to the electorate in Thanet South.
That one still hurts what a breath of fresh air it would have been to have a bloke in Westminster who actually tells the truth. I have a funny feeling nothing is going to change maybe Dave will put Natalie Bennet in charge of Energy and CC
Interesting precedent raised.
Getting what you don’t want, but worse, via compelled, unique funding… a brave concept to pop out there, bbc.
Hugh Sykes handling foot-in-mouth strategy alongside James Purnell now?
Well, I have just watched and listened to that utter shite Andrew Marr programme and after 20m minutes I have learned the following:-
nicola krankie is ‘our’ new hero
millibrain fought a brave campaign
Although the Tories have a working majority it is likely that they will struggle as it isn’t really a majority
etc. etc.
the tories will be struggling over europe.
He even called his newspaper guests ‘comrades’.
Guests today include krankie (obviously) and barack umunna (looks like an early bbbc favourite for their next liebour leader) and a 3 minute slot with david davis (the perjurer andrew mitchel’ls best friend)
So it looks like everything is still OK, thriving and healthy in the soviet socialist republic of the bbbc
When krankie came onto the screen I couldn’t take any more and it was the off button for me………….
Chuckie Umuna has a new idea the Labour party is a big tent or something – Yes Chuckles but nobody is in the tent
It’s not a big tent, it’s a big top.
I’m totally lost I thought the Conservatives won. The Marr show is a Labour lovefest this morning . Why do we care what they have to say they lost.
Gaddafi had a big tent.
Yes, the BBC have been showcasing Chukkie like mad this morning. Labour have overdone idolizing the poor and vilifying the rich. Blah, blah equality, blah, blah zero hour contracts, blah, blah aspiration, middle classes.
I’ve always thought Chukkie was particularly vacuous when he answered the question “what impact does immigration have on the housing shortage?” with “I’m not going to blame immigrants”. But now he seems to have almost worked out all by himself that voting Labour is not the first step into the Promised Land.
No doubt the Hackney Hippo and The Boy Jones will be on to explain to the faithfull that “Ed got it right” but was in fact too rightwing and Socialism is the only solution to poverty and inequality. It certainly worked in the Soviet Union where there was no social inequalty – everyone was piss poor.
I hope Krankie gets blanket coverage. The BBC, despite Thursday’s events, still seems to think its socialist message can be hammered into the public. Krankie is irritating at the best of times. Her incessant whining to the English public will alienate her and her Tartanazi brigade for good.
An English. This seems to be the BBc damage limitation exercise. They have obviously been brainstorming for the hours after the Liebour election rout on how to put the left in the best light following their rejection. Incidentally I was watching sky news last night someone from SNP was on repeating the word “progressive”(?) Progressive policies, dialogue with other “progressive” parties. The presenter was giving her a seriously hard time. Noting that it didn’t matter if they wanted their voice heard as they didn’t get a majority even with liebour. And despite asking several times what they wanted the response was just more use of the word “progressive”
The Yestapo use ‘progressive’ ‘austerity’ and ‘poverty’ without context or definition. Repeat repeat repeat
BBC R4 now with 3 people reviewing the papers with Clive Anderson. One is John Amaechi, a basketball player. Why pick a basketball player?
Well, unannounced by the BBC but according to wikipedia he is “one of the world’s most high-profile gay athletes” – so that’ll be the reason at a wild guess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Amaechi
Now it’s Ameichi speaking about an Observer article on homophobia in sport. At least he admits his contribution to the article, but when did you ever hear a newspaper reviewer allowed to review a piece they had contributed to?
Is he good around the hoop? I’ll get my coat.
BBC Marr – 80 % into programme – no mention whatsoever – NONE – of UKIP – Mandleson in denial on key 2010 Legacy of no money left – same as Balls and Milliband no apology for overspend.
The BBC. As irrelevant as always.
Chucker Yermunny virtually admitted a few minutes ago that Labour lied about its deficit from the mid 2000s. And slimy Marr seems more inclined to talk about it now that his ZaNuLaB mates are out of power for at least 10 years and it can’t affect this year’s result.
No mention by the Conservatives, as far as I’m aware, of clipping the BBC’s wings.
I don’t understand why Cameron and his colleagues continue to tolerate a so-called national broadcaster that behaves like a political party which clearly despises him, and much more besides.
Maybe it’s lower down his list of priorities and something will emerge in due course, but somehow I doubt it.
Here is PJ O’Rourke’s take on it all:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32657761
Very funny indeed. I can even forgive his pop at UKIP.
Rather than the inanities and unrealism of tosh like the Marr show – may I recommend a couple of bits of serious reading.
Michael Barone is a very astute US journalist and political forecaster. Just the sort of unbiased journalist that the BBC would avoid, even on US matters. Barone thinks that the Brits are very adept at tactical voting. – and that many potential UKIP voters deliberately backed the Tories in marginal seats against Labour. He over-eggs the pudding a bit, maybe, but in terms of economic policy there is no doubt that UKIP is “right-wing”, wanting fiscal responsibility and opposing Labour-style profligacy and yet more borrowing for “investment” – the Labour euphemism for spending other people’s money. At the end of his article he lumps the Tory and UKIP vote totals together – to give a right-wing total of 50%.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/some-observations-on-the-british-election/article/2564234
Perhaps more interesting – but a very heavy read – is an article that Barone refers to, published in the New Statesman in February by John Gray. Gray’s central contentions were that Miliband was in cloud- cuckoo land in his expectation that there was an overwhelming antipathy to “austerity” and all that, and that Miliband and his clique were totally out of touch with public opinion on many of the major issues. I had not seen the Gray article at the time – but it now looks like a very prescient piece :
http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/02/misunderstanding-present-ed-miliband-wants-govern-country-doesn-t-exist
I’m still in a state of shock. Not because of the final outcome or because UKIP only own one seat. It’s because the sheep who inhabit Rotherham and Rochdale actually voted for and got a Labour MP!
But Farage has what he really always wanted an in out referendum on the EU! We’ll take our country back first and then set about the BBC…..and as if that wasn’t reason enough to be cheerful the Labour party is about to self destruct!
Farage is the big winner. He can take credit for getting us the EU referendum. That is the most UKIP could have asked for. He still leads the biggest group of British MEPs and has a public platform. UKIP has massively increased its support, With the likes of Redwood and Hannan he can campaign for Brexit, and Thanet South has a Eurosceptic MP 😉
Just like to point out that the referendum hasn’t happened yet and 2017 is still two years away, plenty of time for as yet unforeseen circumstances to arise to prevent it. Also plenty of time for the bBC to broadcast wall to wall pro EU propaganda.
They say a week is a long time in politics, two years is a lifetime.
but at least George Galloway got the boot.
Trouble is – he will probably stand for Mayor of London, backed by a million or more “Asians”.
It is going to be an important year in London as we get to vote on the new Assembly. That election will be on a PR basis – so UKIP is in with a chance of winning some seats. To add to the nearly 200 Council seats won around the country on Thursday. In most London constituencies UKIP came 4th – but in some cases it came 3rd and even 2nd. If that vote holds up across London, UKIP will get at least some seats on the London Assembly.
he will probably stand for Mayor of London, backed by a million or more “Asians”.
And you remember what happened to him when he stood for Tower Hamlets ?
And no one during the coverage of the election on the BBC even mentioned this fact. The victims of Rotherham and Rochdale, more than most, deserve refugee or asylum status. Instead they get more Labour
Friday 8th May BBC1 HIGNFY.
Sad and spiteful example of BBC output. Evidently this is the end of Nigel Farage and he is ‘Finished’. All present are happy to stick the boot in with jubilation, to kick Nigel Farage when he’s down, and this ‘comic’ assault is lapped up by the pack in their audience. Ahhh, BBC audiences. BBC employees? Or hopeful, invited lefties waking up not to their expected HIGNFY laugh-athon, but to their almost-worst nightmare: a Tory majority. (Only a Tory majority + Nigel Farage elected would have constituted ‘worst’.)? From the updates Jo Brand was receiving of Party Leader resignations, the show was recorded Friday, late morning I think. I watched it all, and maybe my bias has blanked out the bits where Brand, Hislop, Merton, Snow, the other dude and the audience delivered a round house kick to the Ed, or a front kick to the Balls, but I’m not going to check by subjecting myself to watching that ‘comedic’ drivel again. I did a laugh count (where I log the number of times I laugh whilst watching the show). I got to one. If I don’t get six in a half hour show, it ain’t comedy.
Farage’s name will be in the history books. Hislop may have a footnote. The others? Pine needles on the forest floor. And if they think they have seen the last of Farage…….
Let them laugh. To anybody outside the BBC elitist lefty bubble it all looks very, very, sad.
If you check out the parallel universe of the Socalist worker they are claiming responsibility for Farage not getting elected. So who got in instead was it one of their “Comrades”?
Was it the audience though, I commented on this earlier. Although I did see an audience the applause cut of rather rapidly and was present in the many places it wasn’t funny. There were obviously cuts in it After Merton made some non comic remarks about (the other)Brand there was obviously a cut and an addition of some more script as the original remarks could well have been taken as slander. Was this a live audience but with enhanced audience effects?
Did anyone else notice that last night Ms.Raworth read the news wearing BLUE!
So many programs naval gazing on behalf of the Labour party – where did it all go so wrong? Or perhaps more like why didn’t the electorate understand our policies, or even they are all a bunch of reactionaries who shouldn’t be allowed to disagree with us !
