Time for a fresh open thread……a Tory conference in full swing, mass Muslim immigration, a war in the Middle East with the Turks and Russians curiously bombing everyone except the one target they should be hitting…the Islamic State, Europe in turmoil and Peston’s hair….the BBC newsroom must be working full-steam ahead, all hands to the pumps, to keep up with all that and shape it into a narrative that pleases the left-wing sensibilities….
Merkel and Hollande shocked, SHOCKED! … I tell you
(and … what is Merkel on?)
A true British hero, he makes Cameron look like an inept parish councillor.
I am a Nigel fan, even met him once when Alan Sked was leader. But I think , at one point, he says “have a drink together” and quickly corrects himself. I may check that. Mad Merkel and Hollande look like children in class being told they have failed an exam. And they have !
Nigel pretty much nailed it with his analysis of Germany. When you add the VW emissions scandal you can see the wheels coming off the German economic model: and once the economic downturn starts they wont be so willkommen.
And , this time, they can’t blame it on the Jews !
Will Corbyn signal the end of the Labour Party and Al Beeb?

Watch this space.
Disgraceful subtle indoctrination by the BBC here as a few paragraphs down they have the audacity to use ‘far-Right’ in the same sentence as ‘Islamism’. When was the last time you heard of far-Right groups in the UK bombing or chopping someone’s head off?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34469331
Have the BBC ever used the words “far-Left ” ? If not , why not ?
Not sure, Grant, I think they have, but ‘hard Left’ and ‘extreme Left’ would have also been used – perhaps more widely. This would have occurred mostly in the 1970s and 1980s.
Up2, yes, good point. The BBC have shifted a bit since then !
RADIO 4 – I’M SORRY I’LL READ THAT AGAIN MOMENT
News item about a demo by radical feminists at the Suffragette film Premiere ” … to demand an end to domestic violence and equality in Parliament.”
Oops!
That would include domestic violence by women ?
Quick, something must be done!
BBC Breakfast carry a movie-plugging interview with Meryl Streep – and appear to extract the shock revelation that the multi-Oscar winner ‘has been paid less than her co-stars’ (no facts or direct quote is provided – just hints and sly nods. Asked that question she, frankly, would have been letting the sisters down if she hadn’t agreed with the premise of that loaded question)
Louise Minchin seems expecially animated on this ‘issue’ – do I see her shoot her red sofa-partner, Charlie Stayt, a questioning glance?
And so we leave the gels at the Beeb as they begin to compare payslips with the house eunuchs.
Oh, by the way, Nadiya Hussain ‘won’t be doing much baking today’…. she will be ‘too busy doing radio’
Well there’s a warning for licence payers.
BBC Online News:
“”Is Germany’s open-door policy fuelling the far right?””
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34471716
The usual waffle. Opening shot finds a couple of skin heads amongst hundreds who were not.
Mention of an asylum centre being ‘attacked’ with fire crackers at 4am which woke people up. That’s bad isn’t it? No physical abuse or attacks mentioned.
Head of Intelligence Services (Political Appointee) voices the mantra that all would be ok if other countries took more i.e. don’t deal with the issues but spread it around like jam whilst calling for more jam.
Feature was exactly how I expected it to be.
.
“Mention of an asylum centre being ‘attacked’ with fire crackers at 4am which woke people up.”
Wasn’t something very similar done by protestors outside the Conservative conference? Now was that bad or good?
There was a fashion in the late 1960s for troubadour-like earnest singer-songwriters
Peter Sarstedt’s ‘Where do you go to, my lovely’ (1969) sets the tone – but there were many other like-minded bards such as Donovan, Dylan and Don McLean
let’s not forget Noel Harrison’s ‘Windmills of your mind’ – what-the-dickens was that all about?
The music industry has moved on – from Bernie Flint to Mark Ronson
In retrospect we know it was a transient fashion – not an important cultural movement – just an entertainment industry trope of the day. Now they look at best nostalgic, at worst naff.
Holywood is now pushing issue-based movies. From 12 Years a Slave to Suffragette. The liberal media – exemplified by the BBC here in Britain – is lapping it up. A push-me-pull-you of plugging, approval-seeking, back-slapping, brown-nosing, virtue-signalling, hob-nobbing, guilt-tripping, egging on.
Please let it run its course.
” Holywood is now pushing issue-based movies. From 12 Years a Slave to Suffragette.” And the gay, lesbian, transexual agenda, all part of the plan to feminize men and make woman masculine. Tranny’s make up 0.0001% of tthe population for ffs !! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Danish_Girl_(film)
Talking of suffragettes, watch this latest ad for Virgin media and tell me there is no agenda going on here, from the pierced mother to the subjects chosen (Paloma Faith WTF?) The only thing missing is the kids female ‘father’
If we turned this on its head and had a father and son admiring testosterone filled male heroes or inventors, the feminists would be taking to Twitter demanding the ad to be banned. This ad is 100% sexist and indoctrinating the young.

There is a discernable pattern to left-messaging in advertising these days: the bigger the corporation – the more utopian the message.
Put another way : the uglier and more mega the corporation – the greater the need to ingratiate with the prevailing left-liberal media culture
We’re hitting the heights of hypocrisy
”the bigger the corporation – the more utopian the message.” Remember this from the 1970s ? All creeds, all colours, all races.
Of the same era, this vomit inducing mush, the agenda has been going on for years.
I saw an advert on a bus shelter the other day for Virgin Trains ” Come to London” with a smiling black man. In the old days it would be a Beefeater or a Cockney advertising London, this piece of propaganda shows how third world mass immigration is being normalised to the native ethnic British. Richard Branson is a scumbag.
I saw that ‘advert’ last night and wondered where on earth it was coming from. Patronising nonsense of the highest order – is it really the case that women can’t vote or take part in athletics? Would it really be astonishing to a little girl that – gasp! – she might be allowed to sing? Mind you, Virgin Media have form: three years ago they started a series of adverts implying that only black men can advertise TV subscriptions and broadband, which Sky duly copied, followed by a set using animals. Their advertising agency is BBH (Bartle Bogle Hegarty).
Companies such as this might want to consider the negative effects of their advertising. By pursuing the politics of exclusion they will alienate many people who do not consider themselves to be part of their promoted and preferred demographics.
Most of these trans national corporations and banks make more money than some countries do, they’re heavily into the propaganda of one world government under the U.N, abolition of nations, erasing the borders, mass immigration etc etc, all part of the plan.
That advert makes me so angry, also as a Woman I find it extremely patronising.
Who do I complain to ?
Boycott their products, that’s what I do.
Mrs G said exactly the same thing. I guess the best way to protest is vote with your feet, ie boycott Virgin products/services. Twitter and the like hold no truck with sensible people…
Stopped buying newspapers about 10 years ago, it’s just television gossip, tittle tattle and 40 pages of football at the back and that’s the Times for ffs !!

It doesn’t take a lot of complaints to trigger an investigation – something like mid-20s?
“The only thing missing is the kids female ‘father’”.

A fine effort here-could trade old balladers and musers from the 60s/70s.
“Windmills Of Your Mind” is like “Walk in The Black Forest”…a never ending song in that it rambles on for ever then goes back to the starting chord, so you can sing it all over.
That said, we Avids on Radio 2`s Brain Matthew Show feel you need to clearly draw a RED line between the 60s songsters like Peter-and 70s stars like Robin-his brother…Phil the Collector is very clear on that distinction-and woe betide if you cross that GREEN line now…whatever happened to Roger the Vocalist Bownan?
Answers please!
Indeed-the BBC and its endless carousel of migrants, Moatson and Mandildo lite learned much about never ending sagas-but no songs, just endless waffle te tax credits and the 10%…and there was me thinking that they hated the 1%-that`s either a good rise in consciousness or a tenfold increase in sadfinks…the BBC will tell you when their own fupping (solar powered) windfills of their own minds get less befuddled.
Must be all those drugs eh man?
That said-seeing that we`re in the fiefdom of Sacha and Lovelace(oo-er)-I`d recommend another smoothy chops Frenchie toon-” L`Amour Incest” (Or Lemon in Zest as we Yorkshire folk call it)…no wonder the BBC played a chunk of it the other day-it`s by Serge Gainsborugh(near Otley!), as he “sings” it to his 13 year old daughter!
Brilliant-and let`s not hear the BBC being all prissy-explore your inner savile-the BBC do fuckall else!

Down my rabbit-hole in Corbynland the Mad Hatter has called off his tea party with the Queen of Hearts. Surprisingly the Queen was overheard to say that she really didn’t mind all that much….
Heard Radio 1s Newsbeat tell me that the Suffragette film” was attacked by a load of “women-not girls”-who chose to upskirt Helena Bonham-Carter by lying on her red carpet(oo-er!) at the film premier.
It`s what The Kings horse died for after all in 1910 or whenever…
Brilliant madness-loopy confused Grimmy and Tina O Healy read all this out in a “professional manner”-they see no Laffs in this at all-thats for mocking a Kristallnacht veteran as you cold call him about shagging his daughter…all funded by us, the BBC!
And-get this-Helena BC sez that “this was just what the filmmakers set out to do”-get some action people!-get some girl-on-girl action in effect.
Yes my hyphenated harpie…the Pankhurts nearly died for the Carpet Slaughters of 2015!
Ye Gods-I was going to call for the return of John Craven…but seeing him sniffing Mother Shitponds old jammies every week on Cuntrified tells me that he`s as batty as old Noakesy in Marbella or wherever.

Genesis had some shambling tune called The Carpet Crawlers”-bored the loons off me at Knobwuff in 1978-and I only wanted to see Southside Johnny!
Did try and haggle for a reduction from the stoner at the tipi on the way in-but no-pay the whole whack maaan!
Breadheads or what man?…whatever happened to the teenage dream?..well he went on to do Jim`ll fix it, or Peels Magic Garden eh?
“Rambled on” there eh?
So the “Carpet Crawlers”-took an age to finish,but gave me time to sell my tent for a corn on the cob-`a first back then!
Apparently “you`ve got to get in to get out”….a BBC slogan in the making!
Let`s now be in it to win it eh?

“I want to live a safe and clean life, eat gourmet food, go out, wear pretty things, and live a luxurious life… all at the expense of someone else,” reads the text on the illustration above. “I have an idea. I’ll become a refugee.”
BBC Trending asks: Is this manga cartoon of a six-year-old Syrian girl racist? Are Japanese racist? Ask anyone who has lived in Japan.
Japan’s Entrenched Discrimination Toward Foreigners
Japan’s Problem With Race
Surely the real question is Is this manga cartoon accurate? If so, what percentage of the immigrants expect to live off social services – for ever?
Is the Pope a catholic ?
Or a communist?
Saw this ‘article’ too and it got me thinking…
The job of an artist (or illustrator) is often to provoke or inspire through their chosen medium. This piece certainly does that. I quite like it but think her biggest mistake was to use a recognisable child as the centrepiece.
In the artist’s words – “I don’t want European nations to be victimised and hard working people should not suffer by those fake immigrants” – how is that racist? The BBC should not be using it as a pretext to suggest that whole nations are racist. Disgraceful.
By the way, the next item on BBC Trending is “Campaigns are being created to fund baby carriers for refugees crossing Europe” – won’t be reading that one.
What happened to Je Suis Charlie ?

… Radio times Jack Seale has stopped crying for just about long enough to type one last recap. BBCs Heidi, Nadia s speech just stunning I cried … I don t like it (boo hiss)
… my husband cried, her Muslim wedding cake at the end … OMG! I punched the air, yes etc … I don t like it (boo hiss).

The power of constant, infuriating reality show, drip drip, airtime advertising?
I am genuinely unable to understand this Bake Off mania. Irrespective of who wins it is an absurd show.
It just marks another step on the road to civilisational decline.
I can see that the BBC ,having lost nearly all sporting events, is desperate for a ratings success. Most of the time it’s TV output is dire and unwatched ,
Bake Off and East Enders and the dancers. Just about all the BBC has to show for it’s money.
If the BBC was a truly commercial venture then it would be heading into liquidation.
DaveS , It is just to soften us up for “The Great British Jerk Off ” . Only BBC employees may apply.
Useful contribution to the Obesity Crisis?
And meanwhile, this from the ever brilliant and totally unbiased Mark Mardell in Pravda “David Cameron’s self-harm, turning himself into a lame duck with just one shot to the foot, does not stop him from flapping serenely into the future. The quacking squabbles from the pond below do not yet spoil his serenity.” As Samuel Langhorne Clemens once wrote “‘The report of my death was an exaggeration’. Poor old Mardell, poor old Beeb, flapping and quacking furiously as their own favourite executes a near perfect series of complex prat falls which will earn him “nil points” at the next election. Not that he is likely to avoid the political knackers yard before then.
Gunner, the BBC are not even trying to hide the bias now. I think that is a good sign. By the way, it is spelt “Lardell”.
There was a programme on British portraiture on BBC last night with Simon Schama. As an example of contemporary British painting he met the Singh Twins (no, I haven’t heard of them either) who paint scenes of modern Britain in the Indian miniature style.
I thought their paintings were reasonably good – but it was the way Shchama had to ram it home to us how wonderful the multiculti element was; it was ‘how Britain should be’ etc etc. He couldn’t just let the art speak for itself.
It was also implied that when the twins were at art school in the 80s, there was some sort of racist conspiracy to keep down their Indian style of painting. But anyone who’s been near an art school knows that they dislike figurative art in general, particularly very careful, painstaking figurative art such as Indian miniatures.
If the Singh twins had shat on a canvas, then got their cat to tread it in, they would have been the darlings of their art school.
Surely Scharma know’s that’s how it works ?
A few days ago I heard on R4 at there was a Muslim contestant on the Great “British” baking thing and had a premonition that that this person would win. Today I hear she has in fact won !!! I often get the same kind of premonition when the nature/ nuture debate comes up on some worthy R4 programme. I get a strong intuition thst Prof. Steve Jones will pop up and tell us that genetics/nature is irrelevant and nuture is the thing. My premonitions always seem to come true. Have I developed second sight?
Nah ! a 5 year old could’ve predicted that the headscarf would win Fake Off as soon as she appeared on air; – she was ‘perfect’ television, the facial expressions, the tear filled eyes, – it was almost on the level of a charity ad asking for aid money – the headscarf was a God (Allah) given bonus prop ! The producers are no doubt wetting themselves with excitement !!!! They are probably planning right now in a conference meeting how they can top that for next year’s season. Wheelchairs? Turbans? Amputees? Got it ! a ………….. Refugee !!!!!!

How about a campaign to piss on equality?
One way of combating social-justice-warrior tripe on the internet would be to flood (no pun intended) social media with fake or questionable hashtag campaigns so that people would be less likely to immediately sign up for whatever progressive twaddle appeared on their smartphone. People who genuinely cared about a cause would investigate it before getting involved.
It’s possible this will happen eventually anyway. Nobody forwards all those urban legends about AIDS syringes in cinema seats, LSD on envelopes etc that were circulating a few years ago because even the dimmest people have realised they are questionable.
Uh-oh. I foresee a little BBC knicker-twisting.
Rupert Murdoch implies Obama not ‘real black president’
I believe it’s true that he has as much white heritage as black, does he not? I wonder if they’ll open it up to comments.
He’s certainly not a “real” president, and there is also some doubt as to whether he is an American. Other than the question of his true birthplace, his behaviour and willingness to ride roughshod over the American Constitution rather suggest that is the case.
Not black, his dark skin is more suggestive of an Arab background.
I thought eveyone knew that Obama’s mother was white ? An academic doctor of some kind.
From Snopes and elsewhere.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first
Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein
Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25%
African Negro from his father’s side.
While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya , his father’s family
was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African
Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s
Arab, not African Negro).
Oooooo, nice! Thanks for that, can’t wait to skewer a leftie with it — such great entertainment, watching them squirm!

Cameron …. forked tongue quisling, traitor, deliberatly obfuscates
Let me be clear: there is nothing wrong with children learning about their faith, whether it’s at madrassas, Sunday schools or Jewish yeshivas. “But in some madrassas, we’ve got children being taught that they shouldn’t mix with people of other religions; being beaten; swallowing conspiracy theories about Jewish people”.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-34464137
Let ME, be clear, if children in a Madrassa learn the Quran, and Hadith … which they ALL do, we’ve got children being taught that they shouldn’t mix with people of other religions; all other religions are perverted, being beaten; being told wives can be beaten, mandated hatred to Jewish people, being told lying to any none Islamic adherent is justified, taking non muslim sex slaves is justified, jihad is obligatory and kill the infidel wherever you find them.
That IS the problem … I think I ve got more chance of being right than the No10 traitors.
BBC – At least 8 people a day (another report between 8 and 12) -were referred to the government’s de-radicalisation scheme known as “Channel” this summer?…. 8 a day,12 a day? numbers growing expedentially ?
Despite the deluge of advertising, of money going to ex islamists, of the incompetent traitors like Camoron pandering to islam … paying Muslim groups,(as they are the only ones? able to reach? these adherents? ya da ya da).
… Now why is that Dave?
PS Anyway, never mind all that …after a hour long phone in on Bake Off, 5Lives next programme has ……wait for it

By Shaimaa Khalil
BBC News – World’s largest fashion retailers H&M: Fashion industry is changing hijab-wearing model
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34402568
Anyone who doesn’t recognise this for what it is – a full-on, planned and co-ordinated campaign – simply isn’t paying attention.
So, a significant part of the face of modern Britain is hidden? That seems quite apt where the BBC is concerned.
I suppose there’s always the possibility that all this BBC Muslim propaganda backfires, and headscarves become so popular with non-Muslim women that they start being worn by drunken chavettes being sick in the gutter at closing time.

To be honest that is a face which would suit the full niqab.
I’m googling Burberry Hijabs as we speak.
So congratulations to the BBC and to Nadiya Hussein.
But it was never really about Nadiya, was it? If anything, it is a lot more to do with Lenny Henry!
Presumably, the BBC will see this as a vote for accepting islam, so we can expect to see A LOT more women in hijabs on mainstream TV, presenting the news, weather, political programmes, etc., and influencing them accordingly, whether they have any merit or ability or not.
While we have all been drinking ourselves to death at home and in the pubs, the global parasite has been slowly weaving it’s tentacles into every institution, suffocating them and forcing the passive British to accept islam as the ‘norm’. And now we have.
Before the balloon goes up, perhaps as a last resort, we ought to think about going to church again!

Robert Spencer has this up as a header to the story.
Classic line! “I’m shocked, SHOCKED to find [thing you’re not really shocked to find] going on here!” It was a meme before its time
The very fact that this Nadiya woman’s face is all over every paper, radio and TV station (independent and BBC) and (as if by law) Twitter should be ringing alarm bells in sensible people’s minds. The agenda marches on within the MSM, the conditioning and brainwashing to be accepting of foreign cultures, to ‘accept’ and ‘obey’ what the establishment are ushering in, normalising peoples minds to the point of little or no resistance. It’s not just the MSM, the Government enforces PC/hate crimes, state undereducation, and companies enforce top-down brainwashing.
Their work is marching on, gathering apace, what we once thought could never happen is happening to the point that nothing surprises anymore.
We’re told 14.5m watched (we’re told, but who was counting?) but I would imagine (if true) many watched just to confirm what they knew would happen. A bloody cake making show, it confirms dumbed down Britain is well and truly erm dumbed down! Were those 14.5m the same people who cheered that USA residing Somalian faux ‘British’ athlete to gold back in 2012?
Geoff, Spot on. I suspect that we are looking at Britain’s first female muslim Prime Minister and we should be grateful.
Hopefully (but who knows) we’re a few years away from that, but certainly a future One Show or Countryfile presenter, I can see her now with her wellie boots on doing a piece to camera in front of a sty or a report on Sheepdogs, maybe not….
LOL !!
Nadia was Prime Minister Cameron’s favourite candidate, says the bbc.
Well, its almost there with Anita Rani, who is being pushed for all she’s worth to ‘raise her profile’, what with Strictly and WDYTYA. Some bit part presenter of 4 Rooms, who is suddenly in our face at every opportunity. I’d never even heard of her.
‘Credit Where Credit is Due’ Corner. Today, Marcus Brigstocke. Yes, really. Bear with me. Today’s Brig Society, in which he tries his hand at being a diplomat. Now you’d expect this to be a half-hour-long White Colonial Guilt-trip, wouldn’t you? But no: aside from the obligatory lame jibe at UKIP this was actually fairly reasobale, and he was pretty fierce against those more deserving of his ire, including Saudi Arabia, whose ‘special book allows them to live in the Stone Age’, and Julian Assange and his idiot Wikileaks worshippers.
For once I didn’t actually want to slap him and shove his head down the toilet.

Not strictly bias but the BBC did report with a straight face that the useless Cameron is sending 100 of our soldiers to the Baltic to deter Mr Putin.
Incredibly stupid of him and no doubt it will make Putin and the Russians laugh.
Just another example of the unreality based world of the liberal.
Oh and the whole media liberal lot are still bemoaning the Isis rout in Syria. Did you know that as it is the Russians doing it that has to be a bad thing as they are not so caring and empathetic in the way they kill people.
Get killed by the West we do it with a compassionate smile.
Sorry, Dave S. Please don’t waste our time with trivia. BBC website headline ” Nadia : I hid trophy under the bed “.
I might ask willam hill what the odds of a white british girl winning GBBO in 2016 is.
Abo, Better than a white British man !
I don’t recall the same adulation for Nancy Birtwhistle in 2014, Frances Quinn in 2013, John Whaite in 2012, Joanne Wheatley in 2011 or in 2010 Edd Kimber when they won TGBBO, in fact none of us would recognise their names, but the MSM have made bloody sure that we know who the 2015 winner is.
BBC Online News:
“”Nadiya: ‘I still can’t believe I won Bake off'””
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34477937
You didn’t win it, luv. It was fixed. The BBC admits it. Now go and put the kettle on, there’s a good girl.
And here’s a fiver. Treat yourself to a proper girly hat.
..
“”Nadiya: ‘I still can’t believe I won Bake off’””
Then she’s the only person in Britain who can’t. Most people knew this result from a couple of rounds ago.
As I recall, a Black contestant in one of the earliest shows who didn’t even come close to winning was given either her own TV prog, or a slot in one, can’t remember which. Not prime time viewing, perhaps, but a sign of things to come.
Not sure of her name – might have been Annetha Mills, 2010.
re 5 live.
“You’re the face of modern Britain wearing a headscarf,” they emote.
They need to go work in Jordan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore to understand the headscarf thing better. There you will see women wear a headscarf one day, no headscarf another day. It is not as compulsory as they seem to think. I have seen many dum***ed BBC reporter types turning up at press conferences in those countries given bemused looks by the locals who are without headscarves.
I do find it quite amusing when I see female BBC reporters draped in headscarves when they report from anywhere remotely Muslim. Oddly enough though I’ve never seen Jeremy Bowen wearing a yarmulkah when reporting from Israel. How rude and culturally inconsiderate of him!
Cranmer, I have lived in two muslim countries. The normal question to a white European woman wearing a headscarf would be ” Oh, are you a muslim ? ” followed by a look of puzzlement ! The funniest one is the ludicrous Lindsay Hilsum. I can never see her in a headscarf without laughing !
Bowers might not sport a headscarf, but he sure likes his bulletproof vest. I think it’s less a sensible precaution in a trigger happy war zone than it is a journalistic accessory du jour if one wants to be taken seriously by the watching public.
Bowers, who looks increasingly like a beer-swilling, barrel-chested truck driver these days (love the sideburns, Jez), doubtless sees himself as yet another international journalistic hero in the sainted footsteps of Adie and Simpson, et al. They all mourn the passing of that glorious 60s-70s heyday of the fearless ‘photojournalist’ bestriding the world’s conflict zones.
I find him quite funny, to be honest. I’m sure it’s unintentional – as unintentional as his blatantly biased reporting, I’m sure.
and he’s not even 60 yet !!!!
These wretched cuts are intolerable, aren’t they? Do you know, the ‘courtroom illustrator’ who drew young Clayton Williams had such a limited range of crayons he was forced to present the noble little chap as almost pale – although photographs tend to suggest he has quite a ‘Mediterranean’ hue.
I suggest that we have a “National Headscarf Day” when all women are compelled to wear headscarves on pain of imprisonment. Should be fun !
I went past the East London Mosque today and saw the Men only entrance on Whitechapel Road but could not see the Women only entrance. Perhaps they only let they women in through the Tradesmen’s entrance. I heard they like that kind of thing.
…and yet, the left had an attack of the vapours when the Garrick Club voted to continue as a men-only club. The feminists only seem to clamour for equal access when they think that somehow they’re being left out of important stuff – the Garrick is popular with some high ranking men of the legal profession, apparently – but couldn’t care less if it’s ethnics doing the exclusion because that’s ‘cultural’.
But of course the feminist campaign for female imams, following on from their successful campaigns to get female vicars and rabbis, is going so strongly now…
Oh, sorry, I imagined that campaign! I assumed they would be trying to enforce their wills (bigotries) on Islam as they did with the older religions.
At least the diaspora is thrilled.
Apparently.
You gotta love the word diaspora.
The history of the term diaspora shows how a word’s meaning can spread from a very specific sense to encompass much broader ones.
Diaspora first entered English in the late 19th century to describe the scattering of Jews after their captivity in Babylonia in the 5th century B.C.E. The term originates from the Greek diasporá, meaning “a dispersion or scattering,” found in Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible (Deuteronomy 25). While this specific historical sense is still used, especially in scholarly writing, modern-day definitions of the Jewish Diaspora (often with an initial capital letter) can refer to the displacement of Jews at other times during their history, especially after the Holocaust in the 20th century. The term can also refer generally to Jews living today outside of Israel.
Diaspora also has been applied to the similar experiences of other peoples who have been forced from their homelands; for example, to the trans-Atlantic passage of Africans under the slave trade of the 17th through 19th centuries, which has been called the African Diaspora.
More recently, we find a scattering of the meaning of diaspora, which can now be used to refer not only to a group of people, but also to some aspect of their culture, as in “the global diaspora of American-style capitalism.”

UK charity discovers truth about “refugees”.
All men. … No reason to leave their country or to be here.
One whistleblower in this charity made these sensible comments, but the charity closed ranks and insists they’re still going to be providing aid (i.e. our money) to the camp at Calais, where s this erm charity from ………. Bradford.

ps
When s the next Songs of Praise from the “Jungle” BBC?
“No reason to leave their country or to be here.”
Oh, they have a reason alright. Just not the one advertised.
BBC security expert was telling us today that the Russian should have launched their missiles from the Mediterranean, ‘because it’s nearer’, rather than the Caspian.
Well seeing that a cruise missile is an ‘expendible round’ it doesn’t matter where it is fired from, as long as it has the range. It does, however, make it easier to re-supply the firing ‘platform’ if said platform is near home.
BBC geo-political expert Jeremy Vine was struggling with the concept of ‘Sovereign Nation’, (been living in the EU too long Jeremy?), when his first, (off-message), caller to his programme pointed out that Putin was assisting the government of Syria and that there is no UN mandate for the CIA, Obama or Imam Dave to interfere there.
Well said JimS, I heard that on Vine this lunchtime; the view of Frank Gardner, Al Beeb’s “Security Expert” that the Russians were launching from the Caspian rather than the Med as a form of “show boating” (FFS); got totally trashed by the former RN rear-admiral, who pointed out that by doing so they were firing from Russian territory and not international waters. Also the missiles were passing through Iraqi and Iranian airspace en route to Syria, with the full permission of the governments’ of those countries.
When Farage got pilloried for stating that he admired Putin “as an operator” this exactly is the type of thing he was referring to. Putin has run rings around O’Bummer and Camerloon over Syria, they would be better off leaving it the Russians to sort it all out. Which they will, they are more than capable, just ask the Chechens.
I think we just need to compare the professional background of Putin with those of Cameron and Obama to realise why Cameron and Obama are such useless assholes. As for Frank Gardner, what in his background qualifies him for his job title ? I would sack him immediately. But , then , I would never have hired him in the first place. The BBC, what a bunch of tossers !
It would be amusing if it were not so serious. Putin has just completely wrecked Western foreign policy in the ME and I suspect many other places.
The West stands revealed as powerless and incompetent. There is nothing now to stop Putin imposing his will on eastern Europe. Not by military means perhaps but imposing it all the same.
Iran will now seek an accomodation with Russia as will countries further to the east.
The USA will retreat into isolation which is where it has wanted to go for some time.
At last Saudi Arabia will start to feel less secure and the Gulf States as well.
A real unforeseen event and one which will have consequences for years.
Liberalism meets reality in the form of the old nation state of Russia.
I really do not believe the West has a clue what to do now.
For my part this looks like something Russia has been planning for years. With Nato useless and it’s main rival Germany in chaos or approaching it then why not act?
The best general is one who seizes his chances and achieves victory at minimal cost.
Dave S , oh come on !!! NATO are having meetings. I think tomorrow, except that is friday. Well maybe next week sometime. What’s the hurry ? US Presidential elections coming up soon. Maybe Trump will get in. Er……… I seem to have lost my script.
Now that the Great British Bake Off has been won by a Briton the BBC is back on the ‘migrant’ campaign again.
Ed Thomas gives a sob story on PM about a baby of unknown origins washed up on Kos. Because of this one death we must open up safe routes into the EU, ‘because they will continue to come’.
This isn’t reporting, it is blatant campaigning for the destruction of European culture.
Yep, I heard that risible ‘report’, too. Absolutely one-sided pro-migrant propaganda masquerading as ‘news’. I really don’t know why I ever expect anything other from the BBC, tbh. It just leaves one feeling so powerless in the face of such a constant barrage of indoctrinaire bilge.
Only six hours left to answer the 21 questions on the Governments Online consultation for the BBC Charter Review
https://www.research.net/r/bbconlineconsultation
Were the questions badly translated from Urdu by someone with only a passing knowledge of English? The first one is unintelligible. Yes Minister was, clearly, taken as an instruction manual by the clown who drew that up.
Thanks for the reminder, Richard. Phew! That was a slog. Took me two hours or more.
I wonder how many people will be bothered to complete it. I also wonder how many people in the UK are capable of completing that. Marks out of ten for ‘accessibility’ ? Hmmmn. Five would be generous, I think.
Hey, calling BBC light entertainment commissioning editors out there….
Public getting tired of talent shows, antiques and baking?
How about this as a concept for a show:
“Hello, You’re Our Ten Millionth Immigrant!”
I know, it’s great, isn’t it. Shush, it’s yours – and be quick before ITV or Channel 4 snap it up.
It goes like this: your two rival celebrity-led film crews wait about at Dover and at Heathrow for a bit, you know, building up the tension. Don’t worry about getting the statistics precise – that never bothered the BBC before, did it, ha ha. Then pick a young girl in a head scarf. You can edit in a voice over and do the dramatic count down afterwards as two Poles and a pale-looking French tax exile go through the barriers. It’ll all come out in the edit. I don’t need to tell you how that works – remember when you ran that footage of the Queen backwards?
Then out pops Clare Balding and Lenny Henry with a massive cheque and bottle of alcohol free bubbly! Bob’s your uncle, Malala’s your auntie!
The bBBC doesn’t want to offend its favourite Liverpool audience by pointing out that the Scouser yesterday charged with murdering a policeman committed a similar offence only five months ago, except that on that occasion he missed his target.
The media are really going to town on the GBBO winner, not only is it enough to hail the wonderful Nadiya, now apparently Twitter (re the DM) has gone into overload over her ‘dreamboat’ husband. Boxes that we didn’t know existed being ticked left right and center, oh how they are rubbing our noses in it.
Should we expect the Nadiya Book Of Christmas Baking in the shops by November and a question on QT tonight?

Also in what has become a lefty rag, the DT, in relation to the above “The hijab is not a problem. Racists are” over a thousand comments in less than four hours, mainly anti, now comments closed.

The Telegraph is finished as a serious newspaper. It has become indistinguishable from the rest of the ‘liberal bubble’ media.
If anyone was in two minds over the state of the Telegraph, today’s readers’ poll should remove any doubt: In a straight contest between David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn, who would you vote for? Out of 47,000 respondents, the current answer is Cameron 46%, Corbyn 54%!

I liked this piece of BS from the Daily Fail ” Rob Shead summarised the nation’s OBSESSION with Abdal by admitting that he’d missed the GBBO final but had still heard about the winner’s hot husband. ”
Rather funny that the Graun got called on what they presumed the DM’s reaction would be, vs. what it was, thus showing who the actual Twatism champions are.
“The hijab is not a problem. Racists are” Correction, the Corporate media are.
Keeping alive the British tradition of baking I’ve just kneaded some dough to make some lardy cake. Can’t be long before ‘cultural awareness’, ‘celebration of diversity’, ‘community cohesion’ and abject surrender put that on the ‘not to be talked about or practiced’ list.
Must also look up the ism for fighting shy of those whose youthful dalliance with the Oxy 10 was in vain.
Because while the BBC may be on top of colours, sexes and heights, they still seem to like their talent HD friendly.
This is breaking news. Little information at the moment. One of the heroes who tackled the terrorist on the Paris train has been stabbed multiple times in the chest. He is in a stable condition.
Remember these heroes were given medals and were quite rightly praised for saving lives.
I wonder how the BBC will cover this story. I wonder if, with their impressive world wide resources, they will obtain all the relevant facts and present them without bias.
As yet we have no information about the assailant
http://therightscoop.com/breaking-hero-from-paris-terrorist-attack-stabbed-four-times-in-the-chest/#ixzz3nzfMhrSA
The BBC have mentioned the stabbing of the US marine from the Paris train .
They refer to an argument which ‘escalated’.
I do wonder how they intend to spin it should the facts conflict with their narrative?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34480404
Sky is reporting the attackers were two ‘Asian’ men. more here: http://news.sky.com/story/1566185/france-train-attack-hero-stabbed-in-chest
Well, on the 6pm radio 2 news, the reporter stated that it was nothing to do with terrorism. ……so, it probably was a lone wolf type thing
Those “lone wolves” certainly get around the place, don’t they?
More on the stabbing
This is the problem with using the word ‘Asian’ as a cover word for Moslem. It creates the kind of confusion so often pointed out here.
From the article by Robert Spencer.
‘The Daily Mail is a British paper, and in the British press, “Asian” is the universally-employed code word for “Muslim.” If this British paper is suddenly using the word to refer, as in the American custom, to people from China or Japan, they’re not saying so. It is also possible that the Sacramento police said they were looking for “Asians,” by which they really did mean Orientals, and the Daily Mail is too careless to note the difference in usage’.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/10/spencer-stone-stabbing-police-searching-for-two-muslim-male-suspects-say-attack-not-terrorism
And of course Robert Spencer is not allowed here, thanks to Teresa the Moslem Appeaser.
What is not being reported however is this :
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/10/02/oregon-college-shooting-french-train-hero-alek-skarlatos/73202860/
One of the other Americans who took down the terrorist on the train is a student at the ( very small) Oregon college attacked last week – I have read that he was supposed to be in the actual building that was attacked at the time …… Obviously just a coincidence !
The ‘very small’ college does have nearly 20,000 students and there are 320 million people in the USA…
…but, as Lady Bracknell said, “To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness”. Two heroes down, two to go?
Today has been national poetry day, We British: An Epic in Poetry presented by Arch Globalist the disabled Andrew Marr (remember he who ‘stands with my African brothers’ in lacking an intelligence gene found in a majority of ‘out of Africa’ peoples).
How ironic then that he was assisted by sons of Jewish immigrants Michael Rosen and Simon Schama and also wheeled out was a total unknown, and apparently the Beebs ‘poet in residence’, an Asian by the name of Daljit Nagra (amazed they didnt rake out a Muslim woman actually).
The constsant drip drip is that no suitable ethnic British people can be found to do these things! How we rely on immigrants! How we need them!
While the Beeb whines about cuts iun their budget, why on earth do they need a ‘poet in residence’?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2015/poet-in-residence
Can’t be bothered to do the research ,tonight on look east-former Peterborough mayor, still treated like a hero after accepting ugandan refugees, and refugees from the coup in chile 1973. The refugees settled in Peterborough, so look east asked their opinions on the current refugees crisis”. Well, unsurprisingly, they empathise with said migrants” however, on itv equivalent local broadcast, main report is manrobbed at knife point seeks somewhere else to live other than “lawless” Peterborough. Make your own mind up folks.
When I was a mere youngster I lived in Wansford and Peterborough was a lovely, civilised market town.

Time is running out Mr Harrabin (of the BBC):

“The allegations included $63 million in grants from NASA, NOAA, NSF going to IGES since 2001 funding Shukla’s participation in partisan political activity instead of participating in climate research. Even NSF opined on its website that “only one paper has been produced out of a 4.2 million dollar grant” to Shukla”.
Popcorn time!!!

Al Beeb reporting ‘UK to send troops to Baltic region’
‘About a hundred British personnel will be sent……’
Erm…. that’s about 34 less than we had at Rorke’s Drift in 1879, Mr Cameron.
And they’re not even half Welsh!
My inside knowledge , on Carswell returning to the Conservative fold , is becoming more likely . He is joining the Conservative , Labour & Big Business Campaign to leave the EU , & not the Farage , Ukip one . That says it all , & it is looking very likely, he will be the Conservative Candidate for Clacton in 2020 , sorry kippers.
Better out of it, he was always briefing against Nigel anyway.
Please don’t be sorry, the guy is a wet flip flopping waste of space, just another Dan Hannan. UKIP will be better off without him.
If he would rather have Cameron as a leader above a true Brit that can stand up and tell the truth (see speech yesterday) he ain’t worth having in the party. To be honest I’d be ashamed to admit to being a Tory supporter right now.
If immigration keeps topping the agenda he’ll lose his seat in 2020 and fully deserving of it.
They are not fighting the “Fuzzy Wuzzys” this time .Ok I know that was Sudan, & not the Zulu`s. at Rorke`s Drift.
