    The “Spirit of Britain”
    When is Mr Car Moran actually going to do something about these criminals that France turns a ‘blind eye’ to? Its been going on at the tunnel for nearly twenty years and now it comes down to this .
    Grow some Ball Mr PM and sort the frogs out, and then get us out of the EU.

      I watch Camerloon on the news grovelling his way around all these Second World states in Eastern Europe, attempting to gather support from their leaders for the meagre concessions he wants to beg from the E.U.
      How pathetic; he demeans himself, his office and our nation by conducting himself in that way; like a street cleaner with a bucket and shovel wandering behind a cavalry parade.

      If Cameron wants us to remain but “re-negotiate” he should summon Juncker to Downing Street and tell him that for us to stay in the E.U. he wants XY & Z; if not – he’s taking us out. WTF would Juncker and the other @rseholes do about that? They need us far more than we need them.

      I just wish we had a P.M. who would put our country first and extricate us from the E.U. dung heap as quickly as possible; because we can NEVER repair our nation as long as we are still within it.

    Gates of Vienna and other outlets are carrying an extrordinary speech by Vaclav Klaus ex president of the Czech Republic.
    He spells it out in simple terms. Our political and media elites have declared war on us the indigenous people of Europe and will use immigration to overwhelm us and destroy our nation states in pursuit of a mad dream of one unified world.
    I regard this as very significant .It means that as far as he and many others are concerned we cannot expect anything but enmity from our elites now.
    To put it into context it is as if an ex PM made the same charge publicly here. It would cause a sensation.
    This is going to be a difficult and hard year for us all. There is no time left to indulge those who are against us now.

      The East Europeans are rightly furious. They have spent centuries resisting invaders from the Muslim east. It’s a fundamental part of their national identity. They joined the EU to demonstrate their allegiance to Western style democracy and to improve the economic opportunities for their people.

      Now they find that they are ruled undemocratically and that the German Chancellor can invite millions of Muslims into Europe to undercut their people, and potentially into their countries too to complete an invasion they shed ancestors blood to resist. You never hear this mentioned on the BBC – just their leaders described as “far right”.

        Not only that, engineer, they (and we) had a taster of how nasty it could get when things get out of kilter with the example of the break up of Yugoslavia. It is only really since the financial crisis that the newly independent countries there have been getting along, both with their own minorities and with each other, rather better than before. It would be tragic if some western European politicians & campaigners sacrificed that hard won peace and the stability of those States merely to satisfy their own experimental political goals.

        They might be better off breaking away and forming their own Economic Union.

    This so-called review of the papers on BBC Breakfast, by a trendy-lefty female rabbi, was not a review at all. She had visited the illegal migrant camps herself, just like her mentor Corbyn and the review was mostly taken up be her rant about how unjust it all was for these migrants. Her big winge was that they have no choice but to enter the UK illegally to register as (bogus) asylum seekers. What a lot of BBC biased rot.

      Ha yes, your comment reminded of a “St Fergel of the migrants” piece last week on Newsnight. I was rushing for the off button, as I know what’s coming, but I still heard his deeply, deeply empathetic voice intone “they have to pay the people smugglers or be stuck in Turkey”. “They” were all young men.

      It brought home to me how the BBC has moved the narrative on from the summer, when we were encouraged to support women and children fleeing war in Syria, to now, when we are expected to support young men of various undefined nationalities in their absolute right to get to Europe.

      I’ll say it again – its very clear that the BBC has completely abandoned all objectivity on immigration, EU, gender politics, etc.. They have a huge secure and unchallenged budget, fear no one and are not controlled or moderated by anyone at all. Cameron needs them for the EU referendum and they know it.

    Turn on the tv just before 9am this morning and you catch brief ‘highlights’ of some very low quality Midlands football.

    The metropolitan BBC habitually bows and scrapes to the regions, so when the now obligatory camera shot of a celeb in the crowd finds Brummie Frank Skinner – it is a almost a surprise that the BBC commentator delivers the honest appraisal – ‘he’d like to put this in Room 101’

    My feeling of giving the BBC the benfit of the doubt collapses faster than the prospective SNP independence oil-based budget when I hear the continuity man ask ‘The Big Question’ : “Should sugar be treated like a dangerous drug?”

    I’ll make a point of missing that.

    Andy Marr is bashing Putin and Trump and acting as usher and butler to Nicola Sturgeon – if you saw the newspaper review you’ll get that joke.

    Marr’s bizarre quip about Trump blaming the US blizzards on Muslims and Obama probably sounded funny when the editorial team were the sole audience. His further punch line saying ‘before you Re-Tweet that, it’s not true!’ could well be taken two ways. Has Marr realised he’s in a lefty liberal chattering echo chamber? I have realised that’s where he is – so before he thinks to get into anymore Labour election post mortem – I swich off.

    Sunday
    Radio 4, religious programme after 7am news.
    Was half asleep but detected back to back stories featuring Al Beebs favourite religion beginning with I, through to 7.30am, thus taking up half the programme.
    Later switched on Marr hoping to catch up on East Coast usa weather. One after another we had as clear subtext a. Nasty Osborne story, b. Nasty Tories letting google off paying tax c. Nasty Tories letting rich people live in London.

    The fact that google paid no tax between 2005 and 2010 or that the Russian oligarchs started arriving from the late 90s onwards generated no comment. Its obviously all down to the nasty current government.

      If the “Elites” across Europe don’t get control of this situation: it won’t be long before it isn’t just one brave man and his son opposing these “migrants” and their supporters in streets such as this; but two hundred or two thousand men who feel the same and who’re simply at the end of their tether with all this cr@p.

      You can see it in the chap’s face, he’s just had enough; where the f**k were the police?
      I bet they soon turned up afterwards to take that gun away though; if that happened here the son would probably get two years in prison for that and double if they could claim it was “racially motivated”.

    That piece from Russia Today was very telling. The British bloke bellowing, “Nazi scum” at the terrified locals, desperate to protect their loved ones and their property. We are all too familiar with these left wing fascists; intolerant of anyone and everyone they disagree with. “Nazi scum” (a pathetic term) was this unwashed creep looking in the mirror? It seems that our old mate, Jezza took along a few of his hard left pals from those peace loving organisations like the UAF and Hope Not Hate.
    It really depresses me that I glean far more of what’s happening in Calais from visiting sites like this (and others) than I do from tuning into the Beeb. Yes, they have reported the “disturbances” (eventually) but by the time they present it to us it’s become so sanitized and politically corrected it doesn’t resemble what’s actually happening.

    The ever reliable Food Programme on R4 was at it again today. Woe betide the hungry listener tuning in hoping to hear a decent recipe for bara brith or saltmarsh lamb. Oh, no – this is The Food Programme, so the talk is all of the joys of ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ with Indian and Greek food much to the fore and some silly girl from the local college of further ed. burbling about how Cardiff has always been a magnet for immigrants. Well, yes – and some of them were even Welsh, unlike most of the people on this ridiculous programme.

    Back when this site was graced with the regular presence of a supercilious halfwit from the BBC who traded under the name ‘Reith’, he and I had a little spat about the Food Programme. He pretended to believe it was a jolly little diversion presented by an old buffer who liked to talk about food and cooking.

    It might have been, once. Before the far Left’s commissars got their fangs into everything allowed on air. These days, under the guidance of the noxiously patronising Sheila Dillon, it is an endless stream of Guardianista thinking: using food as a conductor for a distinctly political, deeply internationalist, message which is pumped into the ears of housewives and the housebound alike, making sure they ‘get the message’.

      GCooper, as ever you’re perfectly correct. These days whenever I turn on R4 I play a little game: How long before the presenter/commentator of whatever is on gives the game away and reveals what the programme (whatever it it might be) is really about? Normally I don’t have to wait more than a few minutes, tops, to hear the true agenda. This works, whatever the subject matter or genre – it always comes back to some left liberal progressive agenda.

      Radio 4 is ‘socialist radio’ – there really is no other explanation for the complete lack of balance, competing narratives or dissent from their pre-established, doctrinaire output.

Most frustrating is when a programme is in sight of the finishing line and has managed to remain largely impartial, not common these days, then some t*at of a presenter manages to cram some PC crap into the last five minutes.

    The aftermath of Cologne continues with a report in the Times. Apparently a few days after the great expose about Cologne a Swiss women artist posed naked on the steps of the cathedral holding a placard stating that even naked women should be respected. A BBC journalist interviewed her ( not sure if she was still naked) and suggested to her that her ‘protest’ was just as aggressive and provocative as the rape attacks!! Only the BBC could possibly think this . She said that she hoped it was taken by Muslims as aggressive because she was trying to make a point in the only was she could think of. I remember a couple of years ago that when some girls stripped off in Moscow to make a political point, the BBC was of course supportive. Not so in this instance. Indeed, as has been noted, all the usual fog horn feminists have been silent about Cologne. They know their place, feminism comes below support for islam in the left’s absurd pecking order. Of course after the Muslim take over feminism will be off the menu all together but the dumb lefties can’t understand that.
    The stance of the BBC will be no surprise to visitors to this site. But what was really depressing was that the Times journalist agreed with the BBC view and thought that it wasn’t OK to offend groups in the modern multicultural world and that for Muslims a women who bares herself in public forfeits all respect. Well I ask whose respect? Whilst I would be somewhat surprised to see a woman naked on the cathedral steps with that placard, I would understand how angry she was at what had happened and how she was trying to make point in one of the few ways that she could . Why should we constantly have to be sensitive to Muslims? We never asked them to come to Europe, most of us don’t want them here, they hate us and our values and we hate them. Anyone with any common sense at all knows it will end in terrible violence so why should we continue to accept the mad decisions of our leaders that lead to our own destruction.

    “From Donald Trump to course closures, golf and politics must mix”
    By Ian Carter, IslamicAlBeeb golf correspondent.

    Concerning the decline in golf popularity in the UK.
    Naturally before starting the real report Carter goes to the instruction manual, where in section #1 it states :-
    “Always consult the latest list of persons, places and topics it is our impartial duty to demean and lie about, see also the advice on creating misleading headlines.”
    Carter chooses an item from the list, in this case Trump, and consults the headline instructions, where it states :-
    “Always put the subject of the propaganda in the headline, with as much malevolence as possible. See also starting your report”
    So Carter looks at the starting section, where it states :-
    “Always begin your report by repeating, and then amplifying the propaganda which your report is projecting, it is essential that the stupid twats who pay the licence fee read this. The remainder of the report is largely irrelevant but ensure there are no white people in any photographs.”

    On another matter, I cannot remember a time in the last thirty yers when the standard of interviewing especially to members of the Left has been so interrogatively poor. The one exception is Andrew Neil.

    Very few follow up questions, very few questions asking the interviee to justify EU laws against our own, no seeking of where their facts come from and from what bias they source.

    For example Sturgeon today on the Sunday Politics (the Scottish fascist bitch), said that Scotland need the AlBeeb to be more Scottish than Londoncentric. So then Andrew Marr who I regard as weak and pathetic as an interviewer. (Certainly not half as clever as those on the left as those would have you believe, probably something to do with his support of the left and his wife.) He put the point to Rona (incompetent) Fairhurst that Scotland should indeed be supplied with a better service.

    Hold on, just when did I get a say in this! I’ll have to pay for this. I can’t stand the traiterous pathetic Scots. We English will have to pay for most of this, how does this benefit our narrative of keeping Great Britain together.

    What Andrew Marr should have asked is ‘why Rona’ should you do what a traitor like Sturgeon says when she hates Britain, especially the English, and by the way Rona you are ‘a supporter of Britain aren’t you’?

    But there again Andrew Marr is useless and should be sacked, this needs a petition.

        We used to live in Houghton Regis. It is about 6 miles away from Luton. They were starting to build a busway at the time, just to ensure the immigrant vote got Labour back into power in Luton, after the thief called Margaret Moran MP had suffered her alleged breakdown. One Saturday, a diversion was put in that ensured we had to drive down the area you all saw on the video. My wife and I locked all the car doors, as we were presented by an area that I can only describe as a Little Bagdhad. No white faces, no black faces, just a load of men in pajamas, and alleged women dressed as black pillar boxes. You have no idea how relieved we were to get to the airport, and get the hell out.

      People who don’t want to get involved are just another way of describing themselves as cowards.

      Through this protocol, a 320 kb/s version of Radio 3 is still available via the Flash-based iPlayer on the BBC website. In fact, similarly high quality versions of all the other BBC radio stations are now available. The problem is, no standalone devices currently support this method of streaming. Despite the BBC’s claims to have talked to manufacturers over the last year, it seems highly unlikely that existing hi-fis and radios will be upgraded to support it, as it requires significantly more processing power, due to the need to stitch together the different chunks and do some processing.

      As a stop-gap measure, the BBC have left just one SHOUTcast version of the stream for each of their national radio stations. These are in 128 kb/s MP3. While this is comparable to commercial internet stations, it is a step backwards for BBC Radio. Radio 3 in “HD audio” is no more. To make matters worse, they say these streams will be available for “another year or two”. After that, it will be HLS or nothing, which will render all current internet radio devices obsolete a far as BBC Radio is concerned.

      Well thanks guys ! I can see a lot of angry people being very pissed at the BBC when their expensive shiny audio is turned into something resembling a brick, because for seemingly no good reason the BBC decided to go with an Apple format without telling anyone !

    “Call to admit refugee children ‘considered’ by government”

    http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6190/sweden-refugee-children
    1167.jpg

    “Ahmad is said to be 16 years old, but looks considerably older. So to make the Swedes perceive him as a defenseless child, the journalists use the stuffed animal as a prop. But not even the Swedes are that naĂŻve. The picture is one of the most commonly used in alternative media, to prove what is commonly termed “the unaccompanied refugee children fraud.””

    “So why would men between 20 and 30 years of age choose to pose as children and be put in foster homes and schools for teenagers? The answer is that “children” get their applications fast-tracked, and 75% receive permanent residency status in Sweden.”

    This could be government advice, i’ll have to fact check
    “How to Look Like a Kid
    Try the Little Man Route. Get a Huge Stroller or Baby Basket and have someone push you around. Have only your head sticking out wearing a baby hat.”

    sf87dx.jpg

    Incredibly, as stated in the gatestoneinstitute report, officials were scared of pointing out that many of the children were fully grown adults. I have to say the one of the left looks about 40. That’s some paperround.

      Its a huge advantage to be put in a foster home and school , support and help adapting to the new society, a chance to learn English (or Swedish) and to do exams and get a few qualifications. This is why some go for ludicrous exageration of their ‘youth’. If you dont know a word of Swedish then you need four years to master the language sufficiently to get afew school leaving qualifications in other subjects. All far better than competing for a minimum wage job and managaing your money while not knowing the language.

        The questions need to be asked. Why now so many children ( given that this is a loose term)?
        Why suddenly are there more women? Why especially now given that it is winter? Who is organising that and who is paying for it?
        The entire flooding of Europe with migrants has been well organised and there must be a reason. There always is.
        It will destabalise Europe. it will lead to chaos and this was always obvious so why and who benefits?
        We know that the pressure comes from the liberal media and the so callled charities but that is not the answer. The media and in particular the BBC are thick and quite incapable of doing anything else other that react in an emotional way. The charities like wise so the question remains.

      The Jeb Bush Campaign has spent +$70,000,000 and is in single figures in the polls; Trump is a billionaire who has spent a fraction of that, he has had no need to – what he says resonates so strongly with people.

      The MSM TV here never show long clips from his campaign speeches, only little out of context snippets which can be used to shape their “story”; because if they did – many people here would begin to realize why so many people there, are going to vote for him.

    “”He said he felt having to wear the wristbands was “labelling” and “stressful”.””

    Have you heard an ‘outcry’? I haven’t. What’s ‘stressful’ about an armband? Is it heavy?
    A non-story generated to create Asylum Seekers and therefore Islamics as victims (again).

    Biased BBC. Perpetuating the Left Wing narrative that Immigrants (sorry, migrants) are victims and should get a free pass over everything. And no counter view such as: some say this is a storm in a tea-cup and they should be grateful for not only asylum but free food and housing.

      A wristband (much like those worn on all inclusive holidays I believe) so that gimmegrants can get their 3 meals a day, this has been compared to Nazi Germany by human rights groups, the shrill rallying cry of “Nazi” is being increasing used to shut people up.

      Well it’s not working, people just roll their eyes and point out, that Holocaust victims were not given 3 meals a day, warm safe accommodation and lifelong benefits. They were starved, beaten, worked to death and if they managed to survive that, eventually gassed. The offensiveness of claiming that having to wear a wristband is in anyway comparable with that, makes my blood boil.

      And of course the offended parties are quite free to leave anytime they like if wearing a plastic bracelet is so demeaning and dehumanising, but I’m guessing they won’t be packing up and going anywhere.

    Fortunately we have the BBC to tell us they are all cuddly really, and the more the merrier!
    Lets get back onto the important stuff like mourning Ziggy Stardust – What a wonderful country we have turned into!

      Of course they do ! on the Luton video they delighted in saying “we’re taking over’. Then what ? after they’ve shafted the rest of us, and its an Islamic state full of taxi drivers with no benefits and health service, do they relocate to another country ????? pathetic. Not a single one of them has a brain cell between the lot of them. And they wonder why we have a low opinion of them.

    BBC breakfast. I almost spat my coffee out when Sally informs us the BBc is going to ask pensioners who qualify for “free” tv licenses to voluntarily turn them down!!! What a evil organisation this is. How about paying less to some of your staff.

      It’s only recently dawned on me that the immigrant-driven increasing UK population and increased house-building means that the number of license fee payers also increases. So the BBC have a direct financial incentive to promote immigration!

      How about we suggest that the BBC annual budget is fixed. Then we at least have some benefit as the license fee can go down each year as the population increases.

        “… the BBC have a direct financial incentive to promote immigration!”

        This would certainly be true if the incomers were as law-abiding as indigenous people – but many are not.

        The BBC, by its love of mass immigration and minorities, has actually helped to create a country in which it is LESS likely to get the license money it craves than it was decades ago. Some Third World and East European enrichers don’t like paying to watch TV and are prepared to be deceitful (or get physical) to intimidate anyone sent to collect it; and more and more natives are so sick of being let down by the traitors in the BBC that they are simply ceasing to watch live TV and to pay the ÂŁ145.50 poll tax. To my mind, it does not necessarily follow that more people means more license fees.

    “They call themselves the ‘Cox-less Crew’”

    No, not this morning’s girl-on-girl BBC Breakfast sofa line-up of Minchin and Nugent, they’re not talking about themselves, they’re talking about the four-woman rowing team who have just taken a boat called “Doris” across the Pacific.
    “We love rowing on this show” says Beaky Nugent. True, they have regularly been featuring another four-woman crew rowing the Atlantic – but one wonders whether it is really the rowing element of these stories which propels them up the BBC news schedules.

    Sally Nugent : “They’re so cute”

    No, not those bronzed and toned ocean-beating Amazons again, this time she means the penguins featured in BBC coverage of some Antarctic project to discover how the feathered birds “are adapting to Climate Change” Oddly enough the clips we are shown has the University team talking instead about the “impact of tourism” and not a mention of Climate Change. Hey-ho.

    Speaking of media pet obsessions, do we really believe that had that big snow storm hit the American Mid West rather than DC and New York – where the Media live – it would have got half the coverage it has? It’s been a bit of an anti-climax hasn’t it? The BBC seems to have quietly downgraded it to “One of the most severe winter storms ever recorded”
    Time for the BBC ladies to make a quick flick through the newspaper headlines – they highlight for us a story about George Osborn sending £3m to tackle foreign disease – that seems to pique BBC interest. Read the front page headline they didn’t mention and you can just make out “BBC will plead with Pensioners to give up free TV licences”
    I can see why the BBC would avoid that one, especially on a morning when their top story is about Charities unfairly targeting Pensioners.

    This news is neither balanced, fair nor honest. But there are lots of females in it.

    Capturing a year in the life of a penguin
    This might seem like a bizarre reference for BBC bias but I did happen to be watching BBC Breakfast while making a cup of tea and lo and behold there is a story on “how penguins are adapting to climate change in Antarctica” Well I watched and I watched and I could see no reference whatsoever to climate change. Did the 2 female sloths think that as the story was about one of the polar caps and automatically assume that it must be about climate change – as that’s what the BBC deals in.
    What a non-story.
    I might withdraw my earlier entrant for non-story of the week (advice for Washington blizzard recipients from the BBC reporters around the world, in areas clearly unaffected by blizzards) and replace it with this one.

      I’m guessing it was basically the same story as was on last night’s news, where we were told that the Antarctic peninsula is one of the most rapidly-warming places in the world. They didn’t have anything to say about the rest of the Antarctic, so I guess it must be rapidly warming too.

    Radio 4 Start the Week Migration and Citizenship

    On Start the Week Andrew Marr explores the question of citizenship. While immigration issues dominate political debate, little attention is paid to the big increase in the number of people becoming British. The academic Thom Brooks and the Eurosceptic MEP Daniel Hannan look at the relationship between the two and the challenges for modern UK citizenship. Ben Rawlence spent four years reporting the stories of those who are stateless, living in the largest refugee camp in the world, while Frances Stonor Saunders explores the increasing complexity of today’s border regimes and the obsession with the verified self.

    Doesn’t really need any further explanation does it ?

    Typical,typical,b;oody typical biased BBC.
    Civitas produce a report showing how Britain due to the EU membership had recorded slower export growth than any of the other founding nations of Europe’s single market. Confirming what most of the country already know, that our economic membership has been a disaster.

    How is this reported? They open with a big picture of Lord Rose and then report their lies and only then, lower down in the text does the new Civitas report reveal itself.

      This breach of trust and abuse of the social media has got to stop. An example has to be made.

      Someone out there please provide an answer. There probably won’t be one because our weak and cowardly EU loving,immigrant loving government are frightened there may be some Muzzies involved in 38 degrees. Mustn’t arrest minorities unless they are white and British, then their fair game aren’t they Mrs Theresa May.

    Just in case it does not feature above, a quick bit of instant bias from Al Beeb.
    They are running a trailer for a programme roughly called ‘Trump and the Politics of Paranoia’ .
    Let’s put aside the inherent bias in seeking to run such a programme and just focus on the trailer.
    It features the now-famous Trump quote about banning all our favourite religious friends beginning with M from the US.
    It is once again deliberately cut by the Al Beeb thought-police before Trump finishes the sentence ‘ until we can figure out what is going on”.
    What WAS going on when he said it of course was the clear-up after the Paris bombings. Kind of puts a different context on it.
    Disgusting deliberate bias by a malign editorial team .

      As I posted last night with reference to this ridiculous programme, how does the BBC think it is ever going to be able to claim it is impartial in US affairs? It has nailed its colours to the mast and there is no going back now.

      I’m not fond of Trump, but if he were to win the US election, it would be hilarious to watch the BBC trying to handle any sort of relationship with the White House!

      Beyond the professional suicide of trust-busting editorial by omission, I can’t see what the BBC thinks it gains by efforts such as this.

      No one in the US cares or will see it. Most in the UK don’t care and won’t watch it.

      So they come across as a partisan bunch of activist foot-stampers in a programme watched only by those who share this affliction.

      And in the process potentially drop a BRITISH government right in it now and certainly down the line if actual votes by actual people don’t get twisted by the efforts of the BRITISHBC… again.

      They do no represent me. They don’t not speak for me.

      John W, Jesse N… Dave… please note. Make me choose again and you will lose.

    A little OT, but of some interest I think to readers here: There’s a petition up and running to get professional luvvie, virtue-signaller, pro-migrant activist and multi millionairess Emma Watson to walk the walk and spend a week in a Calais migrant camp without bodyguards.

    Spend one week in a Calais migrant camp for feminism (without bodyguards)
    In order to show how safe current migration is to Europe, particularly regarding the cause of feminism (I reject wholeheartedly the notion that North African and Middle Eastern migrants are unsafe, and rapists), Emma Watson should spend a week’s holiday in a Calais migrant camp, without guards of course, to show how safe, and how pro feminism these migrants are.

      It’s a silly PR trick so I won’t sign. Sure she will feel compelled to go but only on ‘Twitter’ where its safe and cosy to show your ‘liberal values’. If on the other hand ‘to make a point’ then her life would be in real danger so she would (obviously) not be able to go because of a ‘death-threat’ (real or imagined) would prevent it. But the BBC would have a field day promoting the Holiday camp in Calais. Whilst the French really are building a new Holiday Camp to replace the makeshift one. Ms Emma Watson could have her own Show ‘Folies Bergere’ dubbed into Arabic, sub titled into French and translated in to pidgeon English by the BBC misfits for Newsnight. But she would be ruined for life (her life – if as a journalist would be in danger…

    Another pro-immigration love fest on today’s Start the Week as Andrew Marr and guests discussed migration and citizenship. The general consensus was that there was no such thing as a British Identity. Marr seemed almost gushing as he informed us that massive third world immigration into Europe was an inevitability that we would just have to get used to. No dissent of course, just the usual BBC party line. No mention of the fact that BBC, the left, and most of the educational establishment have done almost everything in power to eradicate any sense of national identity and separate us from our history over the last fifty years or so. Marr gets more despicable every day. He is the absolute personification of the worst kind of middle class lefty.

      I agree. There is a presumption by Andrew Marr that ‘what matters’ is inevitable because of the narrative and repetition by the BBC that ‘this’ is the way the world works. Except it doesn’t work but it is the way the EU works and the presumption is that we can never influence our own decisions (BREXIT) or include any other option to the story line. In short he has resigned, given up and prepared to take the money to exclude any possible scenario that the BBC does not control. At one time I admired Marr but then times change and you know your old enemy by the company he keeps.

    Last week, in the whitewash over Saville the BBC was criticised for over deference to “talent” and management, and Lord Hall’s reply was that “lessons have been learnt”.

    They certainly have because now that very same BBC management is looking at getting that very same “talent” to con the elderly into paying for a service that the rest of the country (through parliament) has decided that they should have for free.
