    How good of Yvette Cooper-Ballsup to set aside a few minutes advertising Bisto, to pop by Martha Muffin-Kearney at BBC House to discuss the plot of the Oscar-nominated “Corbyn Goes To Calais”.(TWATO earlier)
    Like you, I could hardly imagine what Muslim-suckoff , terrorist -inducting Jiz would say about the Calais Jungle…but both Martha and Yvette were good enough to add the icing to the liberal cake of concern.
    But-Martha being the very epitome of a dainty hostess for a fellow-lefty in need of a chaise longue-it was hardly considered good form or “appropriate” to ask Yvette just how many refugees she and Ed had taken in since her promises of last summer….is it more, less or the same as Sturgeon?…Lucas or Abbott..and-all being such concerned and loving women and mothers?…would that figure surpass that of Balls?…Geldof or Corbyn himself?
    Or was it f***in zero , as befits all bullshitting incontinents like the fat, lazy thick Lefty liberal pantie liners that they are?
    We will never know-for Martha chose not to embarrass her hostess for difficult details that might curl the cress sandwiches.
    Surely that assembled bunch of scum lefties I name have enough houses and money to send their 3000 newly minted children( with pretty good beards as well! ) to Eton AND house them in any one of their Toynbee Towers left conversions.
    Cooper-Kearney and their lavender farts of unknowing…but let`s hear them emit their fragrant vapours for the microphones some time soon eh?…they continue to surprise and delight.

    Radio 4 Infinite Monkey Cage

    What is Race?

    Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by comedian Shappi Khorsandi, science broadcaster Adam Rutherford and evolutionary geneticist Mark Thomas. They look at the thorny issue of race, and whether there is a scientific definition for the concept of race. Do our genes reveal racial differences, and if so do they tell us anything about our evolutionary history? They also look at the results of their own personal DNA tests…so which panellist is a little bit neanderthal and which one has a genetic history firmly rooted in the North!

    You can guess where this went with a bunch of BBC right on lefties !

      I caught some of this and realised it was PC in overdrive.
      Homo sapiens is a little different to hegehogs,. wombats and geese in that our culture defines us not race.
      And our cultures are so very different both in time and in place. Not that you would ever grasp this from the PC droning of that lot today.

    I’m new here so please be gentle..
    A light weight topic, but follows the theme.
    A new series of Bargain Hunt started today without Tim Wonnacott at the helm. I usually flick over from the Daily Politics to catch Tim ‘going off somewhere interesting’ for his explanation of some antiques etc.
    What did we get today? The piece started with archive film of various striking miners, nurses etc. and went on to explain the origins of the Burston Strike School in Norfolk. What began as school kids supporting their teachers eventually mobilised the labour movement.
    There is a museum there, but did we see any of the contents? Nah! Just 10 minutes of class (no pun intended) struggle propaganda.
    I can understand why Tim bailed out. I won’t watch it at all now. Never mind, that means uninterrupted JoCo – ooh luverly!
    Is it me or has she been wearing red a lot more often since Jeremy was elected?

      Welcome.

      And no, JoCo’s favorite colour is red, noted ever so much in the run up to the GE2015.

      Another welcome.
      No such thing as a lightweight topic, we are always interested in learning about, new, ingenious ways in which our licence fees are misspent on left wing propaganda.

      Your question regarding fashion has been answered already, here is a prediction.
      In 2016/17 the fashionable colour will be deep blue with gold stars.

    A very concerned IslamicAlBeeb reporting at great length on the irrelevant Cameron/Kenny meeting, to provide impartiality in their referendum coverage.

    Enda Kenny Irish PM.
    “The issue of Britain’s EU membership was “critical” for Ireland and came at a time of “great uncertainty” for Europe.”
    Plus a great deal of other bollox about the EU.

    Britain, he said, was “an essential and fundamental” member. Let us hope he is correct about this, so when we vote to leave it will fall down like a house of cards.

    At the weekend, Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said a UK exit from Europe would be “a leap into the unknown”.

    Keep your Paddy noses out of our business.

      If there is one reason to leave Europe it is to stuff the Irish.
      THEY wanted independence from Britain-and now they still want to hang onto our coat tails.
      THEY voted to join the EU-THEY had their referendums and are now house-trained dependent little Europeans with their Robinsons, McAleeses, Springs and Kennys…and particularly that vacuous lefty garden gnome of a president they now have.
      Let Coilum Tobin and that gay marriage stuff work itself through-and let the Syrians flood their plains the way that the rest of the world welcomed them!
      That was the deal Paddy when you joined… learn to sing your rebel songs in Arabic now, seeing as you trashed all things British since 1916…oh, do I see an anniversary coming up?
      By the way-I`m Irish…and this country gave me all I got, and was schooled in IRA bollocks `til I learned…Ireland is on its own until it TOO leaves the EU…but then again, where would Costello and Toibin, Higgins and Christy THEN go for their handouts and credibilty?
      Caed mile faultlines …welcome to Euroland, now stay there…and let Peter Sutherland and Orla Guerin show you the way down the old bog road of your own making

    Radio4 has prog tonight at 20.00 on the `The Trump Phenomenon` done by a left wing American journalist Michael Goldfarb who I have heard refer to Trump on the BBC Dateline prog as `a lunatic` and `stupid` – whoever at the BBC commissioned someone as biased as Goldfarb to do a prog on Trump should be sacked but of course will not be

    Great to hear that Osborne has rummaged around the back of the sofa cushions in No 11 and found £500,000,000 to give to help eradicate malaria; I had no idea it was a problem disease here in the U.K. but hey ho.

    I also learned that the budget for the Department for Overseas Development now exceeds that of the Home Office.
    I think Essexman’s mates Dave and Gideon aren’t really what one would term “Conservatives” in any meaningful sense of the word, are they?

          Absolutely. It’s on loan from Putin who will be using it to deny any involvement in the Ukraine.

      Must have come from the same pot, as the presidential jet, or this seemingly endless EU Jolly, (his love in for a EU position later) or perhaps, the growing list of special advisors Cameron promised to cut, In fact, they’ve soared to 96, costing £8.4m/year — and 31 are his (each 5 earning over £100k).
      … “never under estimate the power of lies and money” eh!

      AS
      Right on the money.
      If malaria is such a problem why don’t the countries where it is prevalent divert some resources, get off their lazy bums and do something about it themselves?

      The financial black hole that is the International Health Service allegedly needs more funding, might as well waste money on the public sector here as watch it disappear in bribes and thefts overseas.

    They may need to pop an Ambi Pure round the DP sofa, which is at least already load tested.

    I put this here to honour the little bunch above who-like me-were seduced by Spitting Image, Not the Nine O Clock News, Glenn Gregory and Jerry Dammers -in mocking Ronald Reagan.
    Merkel, Kerry, Obama and Blair, Cameron and Juncker….my God, we`re fucked if we don`t get a few back with Ronnies brains and principles.
    Fuck the Left-only the Right turns out to actually KNOW anything or SEE what is now going on. So the BBC has got to go.
