    Watched a prog last night about Tele in the 60’s. In today’s climate it WAS very un pc. It included Black & White minstrels, and an aged Tory MP saying how ‘coloured’ and white shouldn’t mix, interviewed by one Dan Farson (name from the past !). Looks of shock horror by all – most by those who weren’t even born then; BUT that was the rub, they seem to be unaware that there was a life before Political Correctness, and that most of us had the mindset of Alf Garnet – get over it. Yes times have changed, but we’ve also stopped sending kids up chimneys too !!

      It’s funny how disgusted everyone was by Mr Cholmondley-Warner or whatever his name was, saying he was against mixed marriage, but no one ever says a word about so called “honour killings” (that’s hate crimes to you and me)
      If a Muslim girl wants to marry a non Muslim these days its frowned upon, at best, in their society. And yet some of the contributors to that 60’s programme were smugly congratulating themselves on how much things have changed.

        In the parallel universe of the BBC, marriage is ok between black and white but not between muslim and non-muslim. Beeboids are quite pitiful .

      I noticed Slappi turned up on that again. The usual shock horror that wouldn’t be allowed today, yes but ir’s not today it’s 50 odd years ago retards. I didn’t get what was so outrageous about the set from the saint. Slappi seemed to think Simon Templer was going to rape the girl. Obviously although she seems able to deliver judgement on TV from any time period that expertise doesn’t run to the Saint it would appear.

    Was reading an old copy of Pravda at the time of Dubcek getting taken into “protective and fraternal” custody in 1968, as the tanks rolled into Prague during its “Spring”.
    “The Sovereignty of any Socialist country cannot be set up to allow any opposition to the interests of the Socialist world and the interests of the world revolutionary movement.”
    Replace that word “socialist” with the word “progressive”-and top and tail the word “world” with “New” and “Order”…and you need not fuss about migration, Camerons ingestions or any need to wonder what exactly the BBC and Corbyn fellow-travellers are “all about”.

      Yes, I’ve been thinking of that with regards to Hungary. In 1956 Hungary basically said ‘up yours’ to Russia and that they would assert their sovereign rights. The Russians went along with it for long enough to get an invading force together, then brutally crushed dissent and installed a puppet leader in power.

      In 2015 Orban says something pretty similar to the EU, which has already threatened to withdraw its funding (the modern equivalent of sending the tanks in). It wouldn’t surprise me if the EU starts meddling in the Hungarian democratic process, as it did with the election of the right winger Jorg Haider in Austria. We need to watch carefully.

        The EU and it’s useless Nato will come unstuck if it attempts to interfere significantly in Hungary. Firstly the Hungarians will oppose it and secondly the Russians will warn the EU off.
        Russia knows that instability on it’s borders threatens it and will not tolerate it.
        It is looking very likely that if this invasion continues then the old Warsaw pact countries will have no choice but to accept Russian help and Russian protection.
        The Russian army of today is more than a match for anything Nato can field. The EU needs to understand these simple facts of life.
        I have no doubt that in six months time the situation in Eastern Europe will be very different.

    ‘Why David Cameron’s ‘Pig-Gate’ Scandal Isn’t Going Away’

    Well, one reason is the BBC, who don’t talk about it, seem to talk a lot about others talking about it, and adding odd pig-related stories to their pages, by sheer coincidence.

    Sort a of a reverse circle of virtue, attracting all sorts to make all sorts of witty puns.

      Interesting map on that BBC article, showing that Hungary has around 100,000 asylum seekers. That’s about 1% of the existing population, so the equivalent of about 600,000 turning up at Dover western docks. A body of people about the same size as the population of Glasgow. Not to mention those who are refusing to claim asylum and using the country as a corridor/waiting room for Germany. And people have the gall to criticise Orban for his actions? They need to wake up.

        Original Message Follows: ————————

        I am writing to complain about the extremely one sided reporting of the illegal immigrant influx on Sky news. Your reporters never seem to question the vast amount of fighting age young men, currently trying to smash their way into Europe, the constant criticism of Hungary is also outrageously biased.

        You continue to insult viewers intelligence with pictures of the few women and children you can find. People can see exactly what is going on and we are not prepared to be lectured to, by middle class journalists on some sort of guilt trip.

        The BBC may be able to get away with such naked bias, but you are a subscription channel (even though your “news” programme is available subscription free) You would do well to remember that many people are very angry with the way that the swarm coming our way are being portrayed, and may well reflect their displeasure by voting with their feet, or in your case, their subscriptions.

      Very encouraging HYS. 84 pages of comments with 20 per page in 6 hours works out to about 5 comments a minute. And from what I scanned through, the vast majority are against the invasion – indicated not only by the comments themselves but by the positive and negative recommendations to the comments.

      And this is on the BBC’s own website. If it’s not an indication of how totally out of touch the bleeding-heart BBC is on this issue, nothing is.

      The BBC closed this HYS half an hour ago. I imagine it will be incapable of learning the appropriate lesson from it.

      This is little more than mob violence by aggressive young men – it’s no better than the riots we had a couple of years ago here in the UK.

      And it has to be dealt with like a riot or even an invasion (which it is) – and it has to be done now before it’s too late.

    Caught up with Dateline London 19/09/2015. The opening discussion was on the refugee issue. A Bel Bari Atwan (A Arab writer) was on the panel. Bari is a frequent guest on DL. I believe he is taken there from the mental asylum he is (should be) detained in. There was a Italian and French female Jono also on the panel. The fourth person was young man from the Conservative Foundation (I believe). His contribution was a breath of fresh air. Reasoned, logical and sensible. Love the bit where he commented that Italian Jono was ? See and hear for yourself

        Dateline Londonistan – hosted by Gavin “Truly Islam is a religion of peace”* Esler.

        A game show masquerading as a serious political discussion, the object of which is to shout down any right-of-centre opinion. Saturday’s show was a stormer, with Mr.Atwan screaming and waving his hands about at Alex Deane (Conservative Home). Mr.Deane had made some fairly sensible suggestions regarding the migrant crisis, e.g. most migrants are of the economic variety, we should be helping the Syrians closer to home, Europe cannot take all of the world’s desperate. Abdel Bari Atwan went into self-detonation mode, shouting incoherently that if Alex Deane wasn’t bombing them then they wouldn’t need to come, and that we deserve it anyway because of what we all did during the days of the British Empire.

        Mr.Deane remained admirably calm both then and during the next topic of discussion which was on Corbyn. Even this discussion ignited the highly flammable Atwan who essentially shouted it was none of Deane’s business how the Labour party voted. It was an extraordinary performance by Atwan and made him look like the anti-westerner that he is.

        * Shortly after the Charlie Hebdo and Kosher supermarket atrocities in Paris this year, Gavin Esler was interviewing a spokesman for the RoP, and concluded by saying “Truly Islam is a religion of peace”, while the evidence in Paris would obviously suggest otherwise. This was another of those BBC moments that I logged mentally in building up my case against them.

    Fans of Polish football club Lech Poznan recently boycotted a football match in protest at a ticket surcharge to raise money for refugees. Even ‘The Guardian’ reported that the game

    ‘…was played in front of a crowd of around 3,000 at the Inea Stadium, where the club’s average attendance last season was 20,054. A banner reading “Stop Islamization” was hung at one of the entrances.’

    However, the BBC merely reports that ‘A fans’ group of Polish club Lech Poznan said it did “not agree” with the move (to surcharge tickets)’. At least that’s all I can find on the BBC’s coverage anyway.

    And yet…a simple Youtube search reveals a number of videos showing enormous protests at Polish football matches. Surely the BBC should be reporting this in some form?

    Ok not BBc , directly, however remember I sent an E-mail to my MP on 4/9 asking the Government not to kowtow to the wave of media bullshit I could see coming on the back of Aylan. Well this is the response dated 14/9 but just received today.
    Dear Mr…
    Thank you for contacting me about Syrian refugees.

    This issue is clearly the biggest challenge facing countries across Europe today, and I share your deep concern about the plight of the Syrian people fleeing the terror of Assad and ISIL, which has seen more than 1 million people driven from their homes. More than 300,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year and Britain must, and will, continue to be at the forefront of the international response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria.

    Ours is a country of extraordinary compassion, we stand up for our values and we help those in need. We have seen this throughout history. Some will remember the Vietnamese ‘Boat People’ crisis in the late 870’s. In 1979, I joined our local Round Table Lions and Rotary clubs to collect donated beds, fridges, cookers etc for the ‘boat people’. We drove around Northwich in a Roberts bakery can and it was wonderful to see the generosity of local people. In 1979 we wanted to help in a practical way, we wanted to show we cared and that we were standing by those who had lost everything through terrible conflict. Once again the kindness and warmth of the British people is demonstrated with many many donation points and fundraising efforts happening right now across Waver Vale, and indeed the whole country.

    This is of course in addition to what Britain is already doing nationally. Money from our taxes is being used to alleviate poverty and suffering in the countries blighted by the crisis. We are the only major country in the world that has kept the promise to spend 0.7% of our GDP on aid. We are already the second largest bilateral donor of aid to the Syrian Conflict, including by providing more than 18 million for rations, giving 1.6 million people access to clean water and providing education to a quarter of a million children. Last week, we announced a further £100 million, taking our total contribution to over £1 billion. That is the UK’s largest ever response to any humanitarian crisis.

    Some £60 million of the additional funding will help Syrians who are still in Syria. The rest will go to neighbouring countries – Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon – where Syrian refugees now account for a quarter of the population. More than half of the new funding will support children, with a particular priority placed on those who have been orphaned or separated from their families. No other European country has come close to this level of support. Without Britain’s aid to the camps, the numbers attempting the dangerous journey to Europe would be very much higher.

    The whole county can be proud of the role we are playing in supporting the Syrian people at a time of great crisis. But the only way for the violence and suffering to end is by pursuing a comprehensive approach that tackles the causes of the problem as well as the consequences. That mans helping to stabilise the countries from which the refugees are coming, seeking a solution to the crisis in Syria, pushing for the formation of a new unity Government in Libya, exposing the criminal gangs who are profiting from this human tragedy, and playing our part in saving lives in the Mediterranean, where our Royal Navy has now rescued over 6.700 people.

    I believe we have a moral responsibility to help those displaced by the ongoing conflict in Syria, and I am glad that the UK is to provide resettlement to thousands more Syrian refugees. Some 20,000 refugees will come from camps bordering Syria, to discourage people from making the perilous journey to Europe. This number is proportionate, and in keeping with Britain’s response to previous Humanitarian crises, be it the Ugandan Asians, or the Vietnamese ‘boat people’. Since this crisis began we have granted asylum to nearly ,000 Syrians and their dependants, offering them safety, security and the chance of a future. We will continue to do this because Britain is a country full of caring and compassionate people who will always strive to help those in need.

    I hope you have been reassured by my response. Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.

    Yours sincerely…
    ERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I would assume my MP has just decided to not bother reading my e-mail just saw Syria and sent me this steaming pile. Not happy at all. By an ironic twist however, for some reasons he mentions the boat people, Well. My Mother worked for DHSS as did I my Mother was involved in going out to meet them at the ex Army camp in Sopley Dorset I was involved in their benefit payments when I was also working for DHSS in 1983. So I was perfectly justified to reply to my MP to this I felt no sense of pride handing out benefits to them then. Wonder if I’ll get a reply to my response? I have very little respect for Mps having had a few skirmishes with them over the years this reply doesn’t change my view.

      By no means overly effective and hence any solution, but at least you (currently) can apprise him of how you feel about his failings as an MP at the ballot box. Enough folk do that and he ceases to be an MP. That sinks in and he and his colleagues may just get around to representing the people who pay them.

      But it is astounding how they feel hey can get away with being little more than copy typists, lifting chunks of safe patronising pap on tricky subjects from central office templates and thinking that kind of response will reassure.

      As with CECUTT, I pushed mine (on a CQC issue) as far as I could, but it foundered when the (then) Minister got his letter, copied large chunks of that and sent it back to him, and he copied this and passed it back to close the file.

      He got my vote to deal with Miliband and stabilise the economy. Next time I will be less keen to compromise as there are other issues, and bad service is bad service.

    I simply cannot understand how we can bomb young male Islamic fighters in Iraq and Syria and call them terrorists but, when the same young male fighters leave Iraq and Syria, because apparently they are losing the war there, the BBC, the EU and the UN and the rest can now call them poor refugees fleeing from war.

    They were terrorists there and unless they have seen the light and miraculously converted to a new kind of Islam, which has not been seen yet on planet earth, then when they cross a border, any border, they will still be evil Islamic terrorists.

    But today the EU, the elite managers of the European catastrophe are discussing a quota system to distribute them all around Europe. To distribute them to us, because as soon as they get EU ID cards they WILL come here.

    This is delusional to the extent of complete madness yet no one, no one will say so. These young male Islamic fighters will destroy Europe and Britain and we the public know it.

    We have told the BBC and Sky News this on their websites, they then shut off comments. We have told every newspaper, even the Guardian comments are against this madness and they ignore us. Every blog screams out do not let them in and we may as well talk to the wall. The opinions of tens of millions of people are discounted as being worthless.

    Do not think that just Syria, Iraq, and the rest of the countries in the Middle Eastern mess will be the only ones infected with upheaval and war just because we in Britain have had peace for 70 years. We have already had a few tasters in our streets and there will be more.

    War like disease spreads quickly if it is not contained and wiped out, but what do we do? We just keep on importing the deadly disease.

      Can anyone confirm / deny this definitively.

        I understand there are some restrictions, eg I think Germany grants some sort of limited travel document rather than a full passport etc, but obviously if Schengen still applies nobody will be checked when crossing borders.

    BBC 5pm news just said there will be 2 Q&A sessions on the migrant crisis tomorrow, at 11.30am and 3.30pm. The questions will be selected by a ‘panel of experts’ who will then answer them.

    You can send your questions to the usual haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk. Huw Edwards looked very uncomfortable announcing this, no doubt fearing the deluge of true feeling from the country…

        Well Active Citizen.
        As you`ll be a student of these things, TWATO earlier had Sir Peter Sutherland-the Englishmans personification of what an educated Irishman should sound like.And he does.
        The very embodiment of Irelands Mary Robinson generation…done nothing, no spuds-but lots of Trinity College/EU baubies for being the cultivated plastic paddy.
        Plenty of EU Rapporteur/Cheridee connections for all things UN and migratory…now whether he wears a Green St Patshat or an Arafat kiffayah depends on whether he`s on Ryan Tubriddys show or on the radio.
        And-ever the cosmopolitan tarmac layer-he realises that Ireland takes no migrants…but Britain should, so his job is easier.
        Of course poor Martha the Muffin is bewitched by that Oirish lilt-can almost taste the Baileys…so she`ll not be asking where is Ireland on immigration, seeing as the Irish have done very well from this “humanitarian scam”.
        Peter Sutherland-the BBCs goto guy for that independent UN perspective…Sir Peter is the very dream of EU/BBC progressive consensual onanism…

      Well, I nearly didn’t listen, but I’m glad I did. Amazingly, reasonably balanced discussion, at least compared to the Corp’s now-customary propaganda drivel. Apart from there being not a single mention of the Islamic question. None of this matters – it’s the kind of discussion that should have been happening all over their programming, for weeks now, and not just as an after-thought. The fact that it seems at least semi-balanced just works to highlight the naked hallucinations of the rest of their ‘journalistic’ output.

      I think the BBC has realised, somewhere in one of their saurian brains, that their corporate viewpoint might be somewhat at variance with 90% of their viewers and listeners. They are attempting to row back, just a little, by laying belated claim to some kind of broadcasting integrity. Too late, of course – once the cat is out of the bag, no-one goes back to believing them, except guardedly, provisionally, and with your hand firmly on your wallet. A desperate ploy, destined to blow back in their faces, I imagine.

      A first-year course in journalism, c.2020 – ‘Pravda in the 20th c, and the BBC in the 2010’s: compare and contrast the downfall of each; assess the continuity of tradition; news as control of the demos; describe how the UK woke to the dispensibility and danger of the Corporation – how did we come to think the unthinkable, from believing the unbelievable?’

    Just watching the ITV news where we see French Riot Police are clearing the ‘jungle’ at Calais. Rocks are thrown at the police – one migrant shouts ‘what about us’ as news reaches them that Cameron is taking in refugees directly from camps at Turkey.
    A couple of observations –
    Anything on AlBeeb about this ?
    Where have the French Riot Police been until now ?
    What happened to the international law of being able claim asylum in the first country you set foot in ? Has Germany and the EU torn that one up ?
    Why has the EU been slow to act and deal with the invasion ?
    Why is our Prime Minister and Home Secretary slow to secure our borders ? Are they deliberately dragging their feet ?
    What are they doing to prevent the overflow of migrants in France clandestinely crossing the Channel in boats?

The despicable Cultural Marxist rabble have pulled it off, they really have; they’ve finally achieved their loathsome objective of flooding Europe with Muslims, and we on the Right have sat back and let them get away with this repugnant and most treacherous design of the foulest immensity. We’re now all up sh*t creek to put no finer point on our situation. It’s game over, as violent war with Islam is now inevitable. It will be street by street; town by town, ale house by ale house and I’m afraid there will be no safe zone.

    Emma Jane Kirby actually managed to worm a discarded teddy bear into her sobbed report on a Syrian migrant having been turfed out of his camp in France.

    Those wonder who Damian Day was – he was the viciously amoral news reporter in Drop The Dead Donkey who took a teddy bear everywhere with him to add a little added tragedy to whatever warzone he was reporting on that week.

    Either la Kirby is an uneducated oaf and has never heard of Day, or she has had an irony bypass. Truly a worthy recipient of the major award for modern ‘liberal’ journalism.

Of course implying a socialistic critique of the first and a plea for open borders for the second. Same as Newsnight, then.

    There was me thinking the Bishop of Rome was a religious leader. But I suppose I’m forgetting the words of the BBC’s main spiritual advisor John Winston Lennon ‘imagine there’s no countries’

      Yes I expect the idiot in the White House to jump in with both feet in his mouth, (he has form), but Google, NASA,Facebook? What happened to their critical facilities?

      Then there is the reaction of ‘social media’ – “Give the kid a break, he’s only fourteen”. So many people prepared to give him a free pass because he is Muslim. The message that ought to be coming out of this – I have said this before – is, “Kids DON’T do this at home!”. We have here a piece of mains-powered equipment that relies for its safe operation being mounted in a insulated plastic box. Yet this ‘genius’ rips the guts out of the clock, (with a hammer?), never even lays a soldering iron on it, and drills two holes in a metal box, to mount a panel that needs four, (value engineering?), and literally just chucks the mains transformer into the box to go where it will.

      One would hope that in the UK this abortion would have been confiscated the moment it was revealed. Sadly the ‘Muslim as Victim’ meme is so established in the West that we would probably see the same reaction here.

        The problem is that this nonsense is perpetuated by PR departments, usually run by people with no understanding of what the company does. Obviously anybody with half a brain at NASA could see he hadn’t ‘made a clock’, but they’re not the ones running the Twitter feed. Social media has created an army of people whose jobs depend on pouring out a stream of click bait 24 hours a day.

        This can only work with VERY simple propositions, ie, ‘muslim boy makes amazing clock, gets arrested, because racism’. There’s no time or inclination to dig any deeper or give any kind of analysis, especially not if it involves ‘racism’, which is the equivalent of a self-administered ‘D’ notice for the media. Turn off critical faculties, all ye who enter here.

        Nobody with technical skills in Google, NASA etc would dare criticise what is happening, because racism. They would get their P45 (or whatever the American equivalent is) before they’d even finished typing a response on social media.

        Of course, the counterpart to the fluffy PR girls churning out twitter nonsense are the army of grievance mongers and special interest groups who feed them with stories like this; in this case it seems like some sort of organised Muslim activists were behind it.

      During the last month the subliminal messages coming from Al Beeb’s reporters is, ‘look how Germany sticks its hand in the fire – we should do the same’.

      If I may repeat a message I saw on this website to AlBeeb’s Trustees, Reporters and Researchers who no doubt pop over to this site now and again…………..

      “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time”.

      Somehow that HYS is enduring and it’s already been 7 hours. But the number of comments is far fewer than yesterday – now over 500, whereas yesterday there were over 1600 in 6 hours.

      They didn’t like my last comment – I indicated that I didn’t think the BBC would change its left-wing campaigning for unrestricted illegal immigration since nearly ten years of HYS and WHYS, with vast numbers of comments going against the BBC agenda, hadn’t influenced the BBC with its minority ideology at all.

    If the BBC was anti-immigration, it would have shown mostly photos of the twenty-something males who comprise 70% of the total.

    The fact that the BBC shows mostly photos of children who comprise only about 15% of the total, illustrates that the BBC is pro-immigration.

    “”A Breitbart London analysis of over 200 images used by the BBC on its website shows a staggering 53 per cent of children as the focal points of images””

    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/09/21/analysis-bbc-pictures-show-53-migrant-kids-just-36-men-out-of-step-with-reality/

    This is evidence of BBC Bias. It is not up to the BBC to decide if mass uncontrolled immigration is good or bad.

      The BBC is indeed fanatically pro-immigration and this is reflected in its carefully chosen portfolio of ‘migrant porn’ photos. To be a reputable news organisation (stop giggling at the back) it should aim to be objective, neither pro or anti-immigration, but simply report the facts as they are or appear to be. This involves the use of neutral and temperate language, representative photography, declaration of vested interests in interviews plus a commitment to professional journalistic standards. Seriously lacking in all these areas, it is presently not fit for purpose. If it is incapable of reform it should be scrapped.
