    The One Show takes a trip to Bradford to see how refugees that have already arrived are getting on.

    First off a voxpop to tell us how wonderful Bradford is, two Asians, one indigenous agree (but she did look too sh1t scared to say anything else). We then meet a Syrian a has found work, that this for a housing charity that helps immigrants, so without immigrants there would be no job? (I call it NHS syndrome, one equals the need for the other), he tells us all the benefits available to new arrivals….

    Then off to meet a family, in a nice terraced house our female reporter is greeted with smiles by the family of four, they get on like a house on fire, the kids are enjoying school, the house is great they love it and tell us that Europe should be doing more for other refugees. We don’t hear that after two years the parents haven’t got a job, but we do hear that they are learning English….FFS!

    Our reporter doesn’t think to ask how, going forward we can afford to house, feed, clothe and school these people and the tens of thousand more that want to come, just how wonderful they are, but the most pertinent question I would have liked her to ask was how the &*%£ they can afford Sky TV, note the Sky remote on the UK tax payer supplied sofa…

    Blood pressure at bursting point…..

      Your point about the Sky remote really is a killer!

      No matter what happens in Syria if peace breaks out and all is sweetness and light will they agitating to be taken back – thought not, and therein lies the problem.

      Hopefully you did not miss the Tory M.P. who complained last week that he had been unable to get his hair cut. His barber, who had been granted asylum, had gone home for a holiday!

    More stupidity from the BBC:

    Great news for airline passengers! £600 compensation for delays resulting from technical faults, well done the European courts!

    So how long exactly do they think airlines will continue to sell £10 tickets for? Any sane legal system compensates only for actual contractual loss, i.e. a seat on the plane, not consequential losses, after all we might have been rushing home to buy the million-pound winning lottery ticket.

    But then the BBC doesn’t do consequences. Or joined-up thinking.

    Geoff – I avoid the One Show like the plague. When I used to visit a close relative who was terminally ill in hospital, it was always on in the ward and starting at the time I used to arrive. I associate that theme tune with death and misery! At least when Adam Faith died he was watching Channel Five, which was probably more comforting!

    I know that I put this piece up from 2006 on an annual basis…but Chris Parrys article in the Sunday Times from June of that year is as stunningly prescient as ever.
    It was intended as a hypothetical military “blue skies” scenario…and the Times made it appear to be fantasy or musings at that time.
    Oh dear-and, unsurprisingly, he moved on soon afterwards-and then was sacked as head of some Independent School Charity for dissing the then-Labour education policy re private/comprehensive disparities.
    Don`t the elite always like their toadies and apologist to be alive-but always with a view to acknowledging the prophets once they`re dead off the screens?

      Some fruity, non-PC comments on the BBC Radio 2 Facebook page about this during the programme which, as always didn’t get read out by Mr Pussyfoot – and then, surprise surprise, mysteriously got taken down later. I was surprised we were able to comment. Anything about the religion of peace is usually restricted or rejected for public comment.
      So will we be seeing gay jihadis throwing each other off buildings anytime soon? I’m sure the BBC will be the first to tell us.

    I’ve been reading George Orwell’s 1984 and I must say it reads, in parts, like the BBC’s operating manual.

    Every day the ministry workers have their Hate session. No-one really knows the target of the hatred but that isn’t the point.

    Tonight we had Marcus Brigstocke doing his usual thing, The Brig Society , essentially a Hate session against unknown racists, homophobes, xenophobes, Daily Mail readers etc. what the Left call the ‘other’, (I thought we were supposed to embrace them?). Occasionally he throws in a few named people like Seth Blatter that he thinks are too far away to thump him. Maybe I missed it but I think Nigel Farage missed out this time, (perhaps because the theme was football?), so we didn’t get the usual joke about ‘xenophobe’ Farage waking up next to his German wife, (sort of proves that he’s NOT a xenophobe and Brigstocke is the stupid one, I would have thought).

    The copy of the book that I’m reading has a cover note by one Jo Brand: “More relevant to today than almost any other book that you can think of”. See, I knew it is the BBC’s operating manual!

    • ObiWan says:

      1984 is a perennial favourite of mine. I often wonder what illiberal progressives actually think of the book. To me, it’s clear Orwell was writing about the brutalities of extreme socialism, about the inhumanity of a totalitarian collective imposed and enforced from above and propagated by an unaccountable, uncritical, closed minded bureaucracy. A society where nobody is allowed to disagree, to criticise or venture a personal opinion out of line with the dominant, approved narratives.

      Of course, illiberal progressives have repeatedly attempted to claim Orwell’s masterpiece as a warning against ‘far right’ fascism, but history simply does not support this attempt at revisionism – quite the opposite. History’s most barbaric despots, from Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin to Pol Pot and Mao were all of – what shall we say? – a distinctly ‘socialist’ hue.

      Orwell pulled a blinder with 1984 – and he’s been fooling illiberal progressives ever since.

    Well, Question Time is living up to its usual impartial standards…

This is London, the capital of our once great country. Those of you who haven’t experienced the over whelming delights of mass immigration have that to look forward to in the very near future.
    How the hell an apologist for terrorists can receive vociferous applause from a “British” audience is beyond all understanding.

    In QT, Shrek described Corbyn as a man of principle and conviction. So as soon as he becomes the leader of his party, he wants to remain in the EU, stay in NATO and will kiss the Queens hand and become a member of the privy counsel in order to get the 6 million his party will receive for doing so.

    Last week Corbyn was a republican, anti NATO and happy to leave the EU.

    It reminded me that there is a stable country in the troubled Middle East and it is doing much more than its fair share hosting 1.4m Syrians.

      It is recognised that Muslim-majority countries in the form of Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey are doing more than their fair share. The criticisms are mainly levelled at Saudi Arabia and the wealthy Gulf states, who are precipitating or at least facilitating the problems, not helping sufficiently with the resultant mess but rather using their financial muscle to persuade Western countries to sort things out for them. This is an Arab problem and an opportunity for them to step up to the mark and cut the apron strings to Britain, France and America.

    On the BBC’s The Daily Politics yesterday there was a discussion with Robin Tilbrook, Chairman of the English Democrats party on the violence of migrants attempting to get into Hungary who have been attempting to breach the fence which is there to protect Hungary’s border. He was saying that we in England may need to use force to protect our borders if there is an attempt by thousands to get over here, and that every country has a right and duty to protect its borders and interests.

    Jo Coburn was interviewing him and she showed just how much the BBC mindset, and indeed hers personally is wired. She was complaining that the police had used pepper spray and water cannon against the attackers first, that the attackers had only started to attack the fence and throw rocks after this had happened, in other words they were innocent victims of police aggression, and by extension they ought to be allowed through. Robin Tibrook only had time to say quickly ‘the other way round’, before he interview was ended.

    Last night’s QT panel were all in full ‘virtue signalling’ mode as soon as the difficult subject of those so-called ‘migrants’ loomed. They were all buffoons (Toksvig was completely barking – basically inviting anyone and everyone into ‘Merrie Britain’ – you know, because we’re all so glad to welcome in a poisonous, hateful, brutal ideology which wants to see us eradicated), but none were quite so pompous on the panel as Alex Salmond, who pontificated as well as any North Korean dictator might, by shamelessly re-invoking the image of the dead boy the beach to push his pro-immigrant agenda. The audience, of course, sat in mute silence and lapped it up.

    What we had here – from all the panelists (and from most of the audience), although Salmon really was particularly excruciating – was a textbook example of cognitive dissonance, of collective groupthink, and a total inability to face the harsh economic, social and cultural inevitabilities of welcoming in the great muslim flood across Europe. To these puffed-up charlatans there is simply no downside to flinging open the front doors to a dangerous ideology which is inherently incompatible with those of a free, democratic Europe and which will, once safely over the threshold, simply bide its time, never integrate whilst growing ever-stronger, ever-more malevolent and threatening in our midst.

    I honestly don’t know how much further out-of-touch our metropolitan politicians and commentators can really be.

    Germany police shoot Berlin Islamist after knife attack

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34284044

    We no longer have a Police force in the UK with most of them fully indoctrinated in the enforcement of Political Correctness, bravely rushing to arrest dotty old ladies who dared to suggest the RoP might not be the true religion, or the vegetarian who stuck stickers on packs of meat suggesting Halal was cruel.

    So when there’s a report of a Muslim running amok with a knife, they will probably be running around the terrified crowd arresting anyone who doesn’t appreciate the diversity of being stabbed by someone from a minority background.

    One thing is for certain though, they would NEVER under any circumstances have even wounded a Muslim, let alone used lethal force. Most likely they would have persuaded him to lay down the knife and then taken him back to the station for a nice cup of tea, before announcing the usual ‘Lone wolf’, mental illness excuses. He would then be given back to his family who would tell us what a ‘beautiful man’ he is, and that they had no idea he was going to do such a thing – there were no indications.

    White people in the crowd would be threatened with arrest if they failed to see things in the same light the Political Correctness Enforcement Squad (formerly known as ‘The Police’) insist they do.

      This is where we end up with impact guidelines on sentencing. Once we accept the multiculty view that cultures must be assessed for impact of crimes then the principle that justice is blind is negated. In practice, the message to muslim pedophiles is – stick to white trash kaffirs (preferably from what the media describe as disturbed backgrounds) and in the unlikely event that you will be prosecuted, expect a lenient sentence.

      In this case, note that the court followed sentencing guidelines which are endorsed by the present government.
      Justice is no longer blind in the multiculty state.

    Somebody asked what the left think of Orwell’s ‘1984’. What I’ve noticed from studying him – admittedly only to bachelor degree level so I’m not an expert – is that the left tend to view ‘1984’ as a warning, usually of the dangers of right-wing totalitarianism, but once you dig deeper you see that it’s also a satire on what was happening at the time. There are all sorts of incidents in the book that refer to actual events that changed Orwell’s previously unquestioned support of the left. Eg the bit about Eastasia and Eurasia etc suddenly changing sides and pretending they’ve always been at war, is based on the Nazi-Soviet pact of the early 1940s.

    Yet the left generally seem to push this idea of the book being a warning about fascism and the ‘spectre of the far-right’ which is always supposed to be ‘on the rise’ in Europe but never actually seems to get off the ground.

I relayed to my wife what Ms Crawford said to camera : “They’ve crossed into a country where sympathy is in short supply. Where the government has put the country on a virtual war footing.”

    Breaking Bad fan jailed over Dark Web ricin plot.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34288380

    Who could have imagined that his name might have been Mohammed Ali?

    Enough Ricin to kill 1400 people and he gets a sentence of just 8 years meaning he will be out in just 4, you get longer for looking at a Muslim the wrong way!

    The usual excuses are trotted out mental illness lone wolf, operating alone etc etc, and the family yet again claim “They are distraught and appalled by the mess he has got into.” In other words, they’re upset he got caught !

    The BBC whilst actually reporting this fail to investigate the motivation, or the Islamic angle at all, they simply view it as a British man whose motivations are unknown.

    Typical bias from both the BBC and the judiciary.

    Is this the end of Isis? British special forces colonel claims devastating loss of land and troops thanks to air strikes and battles with Kurdish forces will lead to ‘house of cards’ falling down

    One British Colonel reportedly said ISIS are ‘fragile’ and in a ‘poor position’
    Brigadier added it was just a ‘question of time’ before jihadis were defeated

    Terrorist numbers said to have fallen by 8,000 since campaign started

    Makes you wonder if this Colonel has realised that they’ve all upped sticks and moved to Germany ?

      Holy crap….I wonder how the BBC will report this? ‘German crowds boo’d Merkel for her hard hearted stance on refugees and shouted demands for more to be allowed in to the country’.

        If they report it at all, it will be that the shadowy ‘Right wing groups’ infiltrated an address given by the infinitely reasonable and compassionate dear leaderene and shouted their ‘vile hatred’ at her.

        Isn’t that how they report on everyone who fails to see the world the way they do?
