    This yesterday

    ‘Rotherham sex abuse inquiry identifies 300 potential suspects’

    And then, suddenly today, this

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33261906

    ‘A Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) report showed more than 107,000 such prosecutions in the year to April, up 16,000 (18%) on the previous year.’

    Do they think we are stupid?

    Not the BBc but on Sky some **** from the red cross telling us that the migrants are just like us and we should take in more. When perused by the reporter with the comments they are not wanted and what figures are you talking the **** continued on his diatribe. Of course I assume there won’t be any migrants moving next door to him although he expects that we will welcome them with open arms. Not sure if the red cross has hit BBc yet as the VD show was on before I went out. Have pity next time some chugger from Red cross shoves their tin in my face. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23584191

    BBC employee imposing his own thoughts on the audience again.

    Jeremy Vine finds it ‘unlikely’ that UKIP should have an LGBT group because they were against gay marriage, why? I was, but I don’t think it unlikely.

    This is where the bias of the bBC struggles when the opposing left and right sets intersect….

    Yesterday we had a London-based academic tell us that the ‘Calais Problem’ can easily be solved – we just need to let them in!

    Despite the graphs within the article that show that it is. And the admissions that:

    Net migration accounts for just over half of Britain’s population growth, with the remainder due to a combination of people living longer and live births, although the gap has grown recently with more new arrivals.

    Net migration accounts for just over half of Britain’s population growth, with the remainder due to a combination of people living longer and live births, although the gap has grown recently with more new arrivals.

    Latest Office for National Statistics figures, for 2014, released on Thursday, confirm this trend, with the overall number of births down slightly on the previous year. Britain’s population grew by 491,100 to reach a total of 64,596,800, the figures suggest.

    There has been a migrant “baby boom” in England and Wales in recent years, with the percentage of births to foreign-born women going up from 16% to 26% of the overall total, in the ten years to 2011.

      The BBC along with it’s fellow travelling liberal left is in denial. One more marker on the road to civilisational destruction.
      I no longer feel like listening to their crap. The tragedy is that so many are fooled.
      In my opinon the BBC is worse than Pravda ever was. At least the average Russian knew that Pravda was propaganda.

    BBC website- UK population increases by 500,00 . Bad enough for a small island struggling to deal with rapid population growth, but even worse was the detail that a quarter of all births were to mothers born outside the UK! Do the arithmetic and you see that in a couple of generations babies born to the indigenous population of the islands will be in a minority!!
    I expect that the BBC sees these figures as a triumph and looks with satisfaction that within a few decades the UK will be the thoroughly multiculti country that the corporation has fought so hard for.
    Whether it will be the Utopia they envisage is of course extremely unlikely, unless of course the UK is almost unique in history and develops friendly relationships between sections of the population with great religious and cultural differences. The omens do not look good do they?
    Then on the Daily Politics they were discussing immigration, child poverty etc with the chap from Migration Watch and Frank Field MP. The discussion then touched on UK productivity and the living wage. Both guests said that mass immigration was very bad for productivity, for all the obvious reasons.Jo Coburn, the presenter, kept trying to stop the guests from discussing this, but they kept coming back to it. Indeed Mr Field said he thought it was a mega problem, which of course it is, and required an immense amount of work by government .
    The impact of mass immigration on productivity , serious though it is, is going to be just a minor issue compared to others that have and will emerge from the profoundly stupid policy of allowing/encouraging mass immigration into our country that the BBC has connived at over the years.

        Governments in Europe at least do not force ‘integration’, Integration is a ‘racist’ concept because everything which opposes Fascist vision is ‘racist’. Instead they follow the dictats of a dead Marxist black guy which they call ‘multiculturalism’. Despite it’s many documented failings, the Fascists are determined it is perfect and no deviation from the one true vision can be allowed.

      I don’t think the liberal left is deliberately trying to engineer a genocide but I agree that their policy makes one possible, perhaps even likely. What they hope is that over the course of a few generations we will inter marry with the immigrant groups, share each groups customs, and become a society where racial and cultural identities slowly fuse together into a cohesive homogeneous whole.
      That this has never happened in human history doesn’t seem to worry them. The usual outcome of this type of mass immigration or migration, is for there to be a bloody struggle until one group achieves dominance over the other, sometimes leading to genocide.
      Why will the UK not experience this in 10, 20, 50 years time? Why the left think that this won’t happen is an interesting question. Surely they can’t be certain that their present manipulation of the population by the likes of the BBC, the destruction of British culture or the introduction of anti white legislation and banning free speech, etc etc ,will be sufficient to persuade the whites to accept their fate? So why are they trying this social engineering experiment when all precedent tells them it is extremely dangerous? One reason is that I am sure they are stupid . After all many other leftist policies are stupid only not so dangerous and irreversible as this one!

        A fair summary. Stupidity and liberalism are one and the same today.
        It all stems from a belief that the liberal can reorder reality to suit his fantasies.
        This way lies madness and destruction.
        No people ever have voluntarily given up their land with out a fight. WE should know after trying to colonise the world.
        The BBC/liberal ( one and the same now) think they can order a new reality much like buying a new car.

    The “desperate migrants” arrested on UK soil will never be sent back.
    They know this.
    With no documentation e.g. passports, they are stateless.
    Arrests are pointless other than for documentation.

    They’re home and dry having won the ‘Migration Lottery’ big time.

    Italy has a habit of issuing them with EU passports, knowing that straightaway they will head for the UK and gain automatic entry.

    Still, its good to know that Cameron will leave no stone unturned whilst wearing the Mark IIIb version of his serious faces.

      I have to say that I am starting to feel sorry for immigrants who have done things the proper way – i.e. got a job, arranged a visa, had medical checks and so on. Why should the illegal economic migrants be bundled into the same general category as the proper law-abiding ones, when the whole reason for them being illegal is that they wouldn’t qualify for regulated immigration?

        Sweden is in the Eu and is now a menace to the rest of Europe. The governing class does not share any real belief in the culture of Europe and is a perfect example of a bodysnatched elite.
        Sweden has no future as a European state built on the shared values of the Christian West.and the Enlightenment
        All those ethnic Swedes who can need to leave.
        If this country can leave the EU and run it’s own affairs Sweden is one country where the strictest visa controls should be insisted on. Wreck their own country if they want but the Swedes have no right to inflict their madness on the rest of us.

      ‘… the whole power of the aggressor depends upon preventing people from seeing what is happening and from saying what they see.’
      Enoch Powell 1970
      Over the years the BBC have used race as a weapon of aggression against the interests of the UK and in order to further their own agenda. Their silencing of any form of debate on the issue of illegal immigration has been instrumental in producing the frightening problems we will now have to face. It’s clear that the BBC are an aggressively racist organisation. Powell was demonised, by the BBC amongst others, because he spoke the truth with clarity.

    Did anybody hear the liberal media use the line about “disability campaigners/protesters” in Parliament yesterday WITHOUT the add-on “-“some of who were in wheelchairs”.
    As if this has to be said-which of course it does these days.
    Certainly the wheelchairs were a minority-the main bunch were squat waddling, benefit toting Militant Tendency types-who now seem ubiquitous in ANY protests.
    These dole wallahs are never happier than when rucking on our benefits, and most of those who spoke about the protest yesterday were clearly not disabled-just hoping to cripple a Tory or two.
    The BBC have the same few agitprop types like Fransesca Martinez, Pippa Pepper and Tom Shakespeare…but they`d rather talk to Irish subversives who claim to speak for the disabled.

    Interesting item in the Mail today. West Midlands police have been sitting on a report since 2010 that exposes sexual assault and grooming of over 100 girls . Most of the girls are white most of the perpetrators are Asian. Hardly a surprise .
    The police didn’t want to release the report in case it inflamed racial tensions. This just confirms that police failure to protect the public in these matters is a nationwide institutional failure.

      Agreed. State regulators are meant to look after public interests but invariably end up defending those they are meant to regulate. And if they do that with the commercial sector, think what they’ll be like with fellow state troughers. You only have to look at ofcom’s record on mobile or broadband contract dodges to see they are either toothless or complicit.

      I do note yet another ‘report’ that is based on ‘sources who reveal’, so still worth seeing what pans out.

      But so far this conforms to almost all the ‘Future of the BBC’ committee recommendations, as chaired by John Whittingdale. He was also vocally keen on the licence fee ceasing to be avoidable in any form, by loading on council tax or ISP fees.

    The sun has got his hat on

    This morning I begin to understand why BBC presenters have been banging on and on for weeks about our slow summer.

    (Aside from the large credibility hole the cool weather was blowing in their mad cap global la-de-dah theories that is)

    It now looks as though come the first drop of sunshine the BBC had waiting in the wings teed up for us a perfect storm of paranoia propaganda.

    The BBC is busy sanitising the report on Britain’s growing population. The Today programme interviewed one Julia Margo whom I doubt many of you have heard of. She is ex Demos and IPPR, in other words Labour and Blairite to the core ( remember the Blair approach to opening the immigration floodgates?). Now like all good Blairites Ms Margo has found a well paid berth at another charity, The Family and Childcare Trust. This dispassionate ‘ expert’ was wheeled on by the BBC to tell us that a rising population was not important. What really mattered was that immigration was changing the structure of the population which otherwise is ageing.
    Sure we need an increase in the birthdate and a continuing increase in the average age of the population presents problems. But it is disingenuous to suggest that this makes mass immigration acceptable . What about a physically overcrowded country, creaking public services, grossly inadequate housing provision, ghettoisation, religious fanaticism, cultural fracturing and various other curses of mass immigration and a rising population ?

    “All kinds of Muslims find that Turkey is a place to regroup, and then to be smuggled through Anatolia to Bulgaria by land, or to Greece by sea.
    And thence they continue on, because it is not so much “Europe” that they seek, but those countries within Europe that offer the most benefits.
    Who wants to stay in Greece when he can be in Sweden?

    It is amazing that this clear choice of destination, based on the amount of free health care, free education, free everything that is made available, is not discussed more.
    Instead, if you listen to NPR or the BBC, you hear endlessly about “immigrants” who are “seeking a better life.”
    That last phrase is so appealing, and it evokes in others, the descendants of other kinds of immigrants, warm feelings of sympathy.
    Or if not real sympathy, then at least a feeling that “who am I to deny someone else the right to do what my grandparents or great-grandparents did?”
    A moment’s thought might have prevented that easy identification.
    The better life that earlier immigrants sought, remember, was the life in countries that offered no benefits at all to compare with what is now on offer.
    Why be sentimental about people who “seek a better life” if what that really means is that they seek better benefits?

    Should any of you want to decorate your bedrooms with a nice flag to go with your yellowing poster of Daisy Duke you will find that Google is no longer ‘your friend’ and that Amazon, now a gateway to many shops, has put up the shutters.

    In other words, for all practical purposes, in this ‘connected’ world, this flag ceases to exist. What else doesn’t ‘exist’ any more that has been quietly blocked?

    The BBC, ears pricked for the slightest UKIP misdemeanor in the smallest parish council, or clip across a tanned ear by a ‘hideously white’ police officer in a one-horse town in the distant USA, seems to have missed this.

    Should you live in the USA and feel the need to express the supremacy of your religion, race or football team extremely strongly, no problem! All the usual services are available at Wal-Mart and other stores, that no doubt, Google and Amazon will help you find.

    There are also reports of a loud explosion at the factory and several other victims.

    Sources said at least one arrest had been made, though there are also reports of two attackers, both carrying Islamist flags.

    Other sources said that two men rammed the factory in car before entering and setting off several small explosive devices”

    Wanting to keep abreast of the situation in France whilst in the car, it occurred to me that the bBC have a monopoly of news output on UK radio, ie there is no Sky News equivalent, who broke the story an hour before the bBC.

    On FM 1,2,3 and Local radio have hourly news, Radio 4 the same. The remainder of FM tends to be music based stations, again with scant hourly news.

    Medium wave is the same, with similar local stations and bBC 5Live, Talk Radio is now just purely sport based.

    LBC is national, but mostly only on DAB, how many people have How many people have in car DAB? Even today not many new cars offer the option.

      Geoff: technically speaking FM radio is higher quality but travels a relatively short distance (about 25 miles) so it would not reach France from London. They old style MW and LW can travel all over Europe and many French radio stations can still be heard here in UK. SW waveband can travel right around the globe but at much reduced quality and much dependent on the ionisphere to work. FM I think was licensed by Gov and wholesale given to the BBC (for free) who quickly took advantage and established several new radio stations for ethnic minorities as a BBC World Service for Tower Hamlets. It was about the same time that LBC was established. Radio 5 no idea on why it exists or the dozens of BBC ‘local radio’ that duplicate its network.

        On that technical subject, the BBC in its wisdom decided to limit World Service broadcasts to Israel a few years ago. So Israelis could only potentially be brainwashed for a certain number of hours a day.

        At the end of April this year the World Service cut its broadcasts to Israel completely. Now you can no longer tune into the World Service from Tel Aviv, for example, on that old fashioned thing called a radio.

        As far as I know, the Palestinian territories are unaffected.

        Still, anyone who wants to raise their blood pressure can still access the World Service online, I imagine from anywhere on the planet.

        Perhaps one day we’ll see the BBC cutting its online broadcasts to places it doesn’t approve of.

    The BBC bias at work (again) ‘Last weekend saw the first “End Austerity Now” protest since the general election. The number of protesters on the streets of London was in fact only about one tenth of the figure which organisers had claimed, although even then they may have erroneously included our very own Andy Silvester (Taxpayers alliance): he was there to appear on BBC News as a lone voice of fiscal responsibility, arguing that spending reductions are essential if the country is to live within its means once again.’ I heard the BBC claimed that the march was a ‘great success’ and hundreds of thousands were involved. They must think we are all gullible anarchists. Unbelievable BBC bias on the radio that I knew was highly questionable at the time.

    Entering into the formal BBC complaints process is like trying to row across the ocean in a bathtub with a sieve for an oar.

    However, I have made some progress re a complaint about Chloe Tilley’s outrageous pro-Palestinian bias on a WHYS programme over a month ago. After submitting the complaint to the World Service I started to fill out a survey that had popped up earlier on the site – but was informed that I couldn’t complete it since I’m outside the UK. So, being in the mode I complained about that as well, mentioning that I had received no case number and no automated response after the complaint re the world Service.

    To my utter astonishment I got a reply 3 days later. Posted in next comment.

    Dear etc

    Reference Case no. etc,

    Thanks for contacting us regarding a survey you recently attempted to complete on the BBC website.

    We appreciate you taking the time to begin this survey and we note that you were frustrated you couldn’t complete it because you aren’t located in the UK.

    The survey, as it pertains to the UK version of the website paid for by the licence fee, would seek to limit contributions to those users it serves within the UK.

    Our website should normally be able to tell if a user is visiting from within or outside the UK and serve them the appropriate version of the website. We are sorry for any frustration caused but hope you can appreciate that, as part of improving our service for licence fee payers in the UK, a survey would wish to establish if those completing it were within the UK – similar surveys may be conducted by BBC Worldwide for our international websites.

    [My emphasis in bold]:
    Noting your other comments, please be assured that we would seek to respond to all complaints requesting a response. If you haven’t received a response within ten working days, please contact us again with details of the complaint and the contact details you provided and we can investigate further – you may also wish to check the content of your spam folder.

    You can contact us again using the complaints webform, linked to below. Please include the case reference number quoted above in your correspondence:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints

    Thank you again for your feedback. Complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning and we’ve included your points in our overnight reports. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC ensuring that complaints are seen quickly by the right people.

    Kind regards

    etc

    BBC Complaints

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints

    Coupla things: I imagine the quick and comprehensive reply had something to do with the fact that it was a relatively trivial complaint on a technical matter and as such required no ducking and diving on the part of the BBC.

    However, the undertaking to investigate the World Service complaint was totally unexpected, as well as the promise to check it out if I respond quoting the given case number.

    So I just did, pasting in the original complaint re Chloe Tilley, since ten working days have now elapsed. And, interestingly, no survey popped up this time.

    Will keep my esteemed colleagues on this site posted.

    Religion of Peace? Does nothing get through to that pseudo-aristocratic chump??

    Good to see Douglas Carswell’s scathing remarks in the Daly Telegraph in respect of Dave’s magical mystery tour of Europe (or farcical, pointless). We now need the BBC to start saying the same loudly – that (to quote Carswell) “to be blunt, the rest of Europe knows that Mr Cameron is bluffing. The Prime Minister wants to keep Britain in the EU, and is willing to do so at almost any price” … so why would ‘the colleagues’ offer him anything?

    “This puts it to bed”

    BBC man Garry O’Donoghue seems pleased that the US Supreme Court has made a ruling on Pantomime Marriage* – although his choice of phrase might be considered a touch risque he certainly comes over as satisfied that the left-liberal forward only ratchet effect will rule here. “The Supreme Court is supreme” he simpers in delight.

    In fact, Garry, I doubt very much that ‘this puts it to bed’ – leftist campaigners will doubtless be picking their next battle ground even as you and the Supreme Court speak. Age of consent? Three-way marriage? Incestuous civil partnerships? Who knows? Anything anyway anyone anyhow that the liberal left can imagine ‘putting to bed’ they will undoubtedly demand we recognise it.

    *Who would have thought Panto would catch on in the States?
    Pincipal Boys – no.
    Dames – they have those over there – perhaps they misunderstood?

      a ruling on Pantomime Marriage*

      There’s nothing pantomime about it, of course, as people who have the slightest grasp on reality will realise.

      But then, Biased BBC commenters do have a habit of presenting fabricated views of the world in increasingly desperate attempts to pretend that their views have any relevance. We’ll just have to chalk AsISeeIt’s latest piece of idiocy up to the same.

          Thanks for your contribution, Geoff – as devoid of any point as usual.

          Now, will you amd/or AsISeeIt care to explain why two people of the same sex being able to marry (after, for some, decades of waiting) is a pantomime, but two drunken straight people being able to roll up to a Las Vegas wedding chapel and get married after minutes of knowing each other is not?

          Your answer will probably have to rely on (a) common sense and (b) awareness of the world outside your own four walls, so I completely understand if this simple question is beyond your grasp.

              You are, as always, quick to resort to abuse, but not so quick to look in the mirror and recognise your own hypocritical lack of tolerance for people with differing opinions.

                Nope, it takes more than Biased BBC’s usual coterie of nutcases and arrogant, patronising, lying little shitbags to get to me. Sorry to disappoint.

                Now, care to explain why gay people getting married is a “pantomime”, or are you just going to spend all your time being a patronising jerk because you have nothing of merit to contribute?

                    Funny, none of the anti-gay rhetoric spouted by Biased BBC’s commenters ever stands up to even the slightest questioning. And those who can’t defend the indefensible blame those who stand up to them.

                    Poor mites. Must be hell to be so out of touch with reality.

                Where “beyond reason” is GCooper shorthand for “fails to treat GCooper with the reverence that GCooper, and only GCooper, feels he deserves for no reason.”

                All hail the power of the Biased BBC mindset – “we’re arrogant, patronising, fact-averse windbags with no connection to reality, so we’re going to behave like we’re better than you because it’s the only way we can pretend our pathetic, empty little lives have any meaning.”

                  Scotty, the life reality to most posters here is not one of pinkness, in fact most of the population.

                  You may not realise it, but manic ‘look at me look at me’ homosexuals like yourself do little for your cause, you also need to realise that even gays can be to the right of the political spectrum.

                  Geoff,

                  “You may not realise it, but manic ‘look at me look at me’ homosexuals like yourself do little for your cause…”

                  In the space of less than 50 years this country has gone from homosexuality being a criminal offence to same-sex marriage being legal and supported by a majority of the population.

                  “People like Scott” have won the argument; whilst “people like you” are part of an ever dwindling minority. And yet, despite all of that, it hasn’t affected the way you live your own life in the slightest, minuscule regard.

                  So what exactly is your problem?
