    I do like referring to the first component of an appellation as a Christian name, it irritates the atheists. I am an atheist, just not an atheist of the crackpot Lefty type.

    Mr Hardwick tells the Guardian all of his sob stories about prison conditions:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35449015

    I would definitely like to find out more about Mr Hardwick’s political persuasions; much of what he says in this ‘report’ is very similar to Marxist ideology; empathy for prisoners’ plight, and societal structures implied as being the root cause e.g. young offenders being ‘failed’ when locked up etc. You try telling that to pensioners being mugged and terrorised on estates and teachers being attacked by little hoodlums. Mr Hardwick even had to get his tuppence-worth in about asylum seekers being locked up. BBC must be delighted with this one.

      Nick Hardwick is a career, snout in trough, serial Quango Hopping lefty, also given some space by IslamicAlBeeb to moan about UK prisons, before he leaves his sinecure as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons.
      Previously he was :-
      Chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
      Chief Executive of the Refugee Council.
      Chief Executive of the charity Centrepoint.
      Mr Hardwick has been appointed chairman of the Parole Board of England and Wales.

                The PM is far too busy getting the UK the deal of the century from the EU.
                Following the deal we will only have to accept one thousand aliens a second. Only 50% of us will have to live in the road so these aliens can be housed. Only 45% of us will have their benefits stopped so the aliens can receive welfare. Our contribution to to the EU will only rise by 20% per annum. 15% of the indigenous population will be imprisoned for crimes they did not commit under the Cameron “do time for a refugee” movement.

                Other features of Dave’s deal will be disclosed later but it is clear already that our PM is the negotiator of c21.

                As you have realised I inventing the above, it releases some of the anger and frustration. More beneficial would be grasping Cameron by the throat and shaking the worse than useless twat.

                Dave just tell them you have lost the cheque book and UK PLC cannot provide a new one for six months.

      Meanwhile Muhummad Afzal, the lord Mayor elect of Birmingham also told woman’s rights campaigners that men were more likely to suffer domestic violence and denied forced marriage was a problem in Muslim Communities. He went on to say say that ‘domestic violence was happening mainly in the Christian community because they get drunk’. Mr Afzal is also the chairman of the Birmingham Central Mosque. No doubt he would also say that a white 16 year old girl was at fault for not covering herself with a black body shroud and bowing to Allah. Not sure if the BBC would ever report ‘non news’ item other than ‘Three men arrested and charged at Manchester Crown Court’ leaving you to guess whether it sounds similar to Rotherham, Cologne or Paris atrocities. Its the fault of the Christians.

    Yussuf gestured at the public gallery defiantly as he was sent down, Ahmed sought to smear his victim’s character in graphic terms when interviewed by a probation officer, and Osman’s barrister, Michael Goldwater, described them as ‘overheated’ and ‘immature’ men who ‘got carried away’ after the victim made ‘the decision to place herself in that position’.

    They did their best and found……general disbelief from those brummies interviewed though they did manage to find a women….”one women, who’d had her bottom touched to get her attention, now that’s a sexual assault, what response would she get if she went into a police station to report that?”, “Of course we’d investigate that kind of assault” said the police superintendent, obediently.

    Then came the hijab wearing socialist/feminist Salma Yacoub who was very happy to discuss “misogyny” but when asked if sexual touching was more likely in say, Cairo rather than Brum, played the inevitable race card and warned of “the dangers of suggesting that brown men are more likely to behave in a misogynist way”.

          My dear old Dad was a pro player for a top club back in the 40’s and went into footy management years after. His salary was £ 5.00 and a £1.50 bonus if they won. Oh, like the rest of his generation of footballers, what sort of life he could have had on the eye watering money on offer today. Some worship at the shrine of Beckham, but in the opinion of pro’s in the business, he was not the best of players and yet through clever marketing, and never making a move without instruction from his PR guru Simon Fuller, has amassed millions; but he’s the laughing all the way to the bank, whilst my Dad had to take a second job to ensure his family had food on the table.

      Whenever you encounter an article about children it is important to ask about the definition of a child. They can be quite old.
      Please someone correct me if I am wrong, but was it the case that when counting the number of children killed in the conflict in Gaza, the age of a child was up to 18?
      In such cases there are children the same age as those in the military.

        In primitive cultures, children can be legally up to 20 years old. So the BBC could be indicating that they regard Islam as a backward culture, by defining a 20 year old Muslim as a child. While European culture is regarded by the BBC as more advanced. So according to the BBC, a 16 year old European is described as an Adult.

          And according to the BBC (gender neutral) was campaigning for the reduction of the age of consent to 14 for girls (BBC44 social progressive news last year) as being a ‘suitable modern age of consent’. But when the BBC reports on immigration every male Syrian migrant is no more than 12 years old (even when well over 30). Saville preferred them young. It’s a BBC thing that you just make up the age to get consent.

      On R4 yesterday afternoon there was a programme about stats and in it they investigated the strange phenomena that there are many more 16 year migrants in Sweden ( about 5 times as many) than there are 17 to 25 year olds and that this statistical quirk does not occur in Denmark. It was all easily explained by the Swedish immigration rules which grant 16 year olds automatic assylum and the right to bring over their families. The Danes do not have this arrangement. It was also noted that it is Afghans who take advantage of this but Syrians don’t , apparently because they don’t know about these rules back in Syria but the Afghan network does!
      I was surprised that the BBC should be so open about the way in which the rules are broken by these poor, homeless, essentially honest and kind orphaned boys fleeing persecution, who apparently use a well oiled emigration network in their own country to help them establish family life in Sweden. Then it dawned on me. The BBC was just using the programme to advertise to the Syrians how they should exploit the gullible Swedes to move their families to Europe. As for the Swedes, their government is even dafter and more useless than ours!

One tells the truth, the other ignores the truth and pushes its own agenda. Which one retains the viewers in Dover?

            It is a quite incredible story and I would recommend it to anyone who loves this country and recognizes how much our society is deteriorating; because no matter how bad you think things are – read that book and you’ll realize it’s actually about 100x worse.

    Spare a thought for BBC’s most senior TV executive, Mrs Charlotte Moore. According to today’s TIMES and TELEGRAPH ‘Charlotte Moore had been company secretary of Perry Images for nine years as her cameraman husband received lucrative work from the BBC’ She has had to quit her ‘other’ job as Secretary for PERRY IMAGES (which you will not be surprised to learn that her husband Johann Perry works (solely) as a Cameraman for the BBC. Unfortunately the ‘dam PRESS’ had found out and she has had to resign from her post at ‘Perry Images’ – and not (ever NEVER) the other way around. That prompted the BBC to declare (yesterday) – cough!- ‘…. her position in the company should have been listed in the public register of interests and that it (it meaning the BBC itself) had made a mistake in advising her…’. Yes! but still advised by the BBC (repeated every year forTEN years) another example of exclusive BBC ‘private contract’ within the nepotism privileged BBC media folk. TELEGRAPH reports ”Tory MP Andrew Bridgen called for a BBC Trust investigation into the arrangement, describing it as “endemic nepotism.” ‘This did not represent a ‘conflict of interest’ to the BBC. It gets worse. It’s reported that Ms Moore was a former Controller of TV BBC1 (think of all the crap programs launched on her watch). The BBC has refuted that any of her BBC salary of £268,800 had been used towards her husbands private company (but they would).. Meanwhile she has been promoted to to BBC Exec. i.e. she now earns A LOT MORE DOSH ! That would be dishonest and morally suspect – ten years ago as it is now – (if the BBC had any morals at all). Its an ‘in-BBC’ joke that many BBC execs and Directors have had ‘two jobs’ (like Yentob had). Many Top BBC brass do exactly the same – and often a 3 day week like Lord hall does). That is why the BBC are happy to refute that allegation that there was any ‘nepotism in the corporation’ and the use of ‘private contracts’ was in any way ‘tax-avoidance’ which it is. It was simply a ‘mistake’ to have been found out.

    Am I alone in thinking that the BBC plan to make a pleas for the over 75’s to ‘voluntary” pay their telly tax? Some disgruntled BBC watchers might think that the BBC is very poor value-for-money when it charges for TV that other countries effectively get for free. But the BBC will make capital of the over 75’s by sending the message that ‘thanks to the EU support’ they get the TV license somehow ‘free’. The EU does give money to the BBC in the same way that French farmers can get for doing less. So when the BBC make a claim they are doing ‘over 75’s’ a big favor and asking OAP’s to cough up, the response (so far) was not one they wanted…..

    A delightful letter in the TIMES gave a good feedback on its BBC ‘cash crisis’ TV advertising targetted to the old greys. The letter reads (tone annoyed) ‘Does the BBC really think it is justified in asking the over 75’s to give up their free TV license when Rona Fairhead, the chair of the BBC trust, spent more than £3,000 hosting guests (including her husband) at last years Proms, in addition to claiming expenses for traveling, and her staff spent nearly £7,000 entertaining guests at the Royal Albert Hall’. Thank you Lyn, I could not agree more!

    The BBC I suspect will get nothing from the over 75’s who are ignored by the ‘BBC yooof’ network and its brazen queering agenda. But the BBC are planning to target OAP’s ‘so-called “silver celebrities” including Dame Helen Mirren, Lord (Melvyn) Bragg, Sir Terry Wogan and Sir Michael Parkinson could be lined up to appear in a campaign driven by director-general Lord Hall’. We’ll see how well that works! The luvvies v common sense.

      You are certainly not alone. Many over 75s are going to be wondering whether they can afford their electricity bills (so vastly inflated by the BBC’s beloved wind farms). Others, as you say, are going to be alienated by the ‘yoof agenda’ and others are going to be scratching their heads at the Asian network and all the other fashionista obsessions of the Islingtonians. Still others are going to feel that Radio 4 sounds like a students’ union bar circa 1970.

      It’s a measure of how far the BBC believes its own propaganda that Hall thinks he is going to get away with this.

    “A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.”

    A note on terminology. The BBC approves of every organism entering Europe, for whatever purposes. The BBC supports armed invaders whose intention is to impose their barbaric religion on Europeans. Those not susceptible to such imposition, will be killed in their hundreds of millions, the evidence for this statements exists in the historical record, where the Muzzies have murdered hundreds of millions of Hindus. The rationale behind the approval of this mass murder lies in BBC beliefs. The BBC believes in, and supports, mass murder of people, the BBC is a Marxist organisation, a political system which has murdered one hundred million people.

    The BBC is composed of the nastiest, most evil, people of which history has left a record.
    History has also left a record of how such organisms were treated in the past.

      At least this Big Questions episode has revealed to the public what unpleasant and malignant individuals the adherents of the Religion of Peace are.
      Comrade Bala is condemned right, left and centre in the media as a crazed, violent demagogue and rightly so. Interviews with Comrade Bala’s daughter clearly explained how Comrade Bala dealt with those who questioned his crazy ideas. Denial, obfuscation, denunciation, threats then violence. Clearly the loud-mouthed and ignorant representatives of the Prophet were somewhere between stages 3 and 4 and if the challenges to their mindless ideology had been firmer, or allowed to have been firmer, .stage 5 would soon have followed. The Prophet and Comrade Bala are essentially the same phenomenon. Like the demented followers of Comrade Bala who still, inspite of all the evidence, proclaim his sublime goodness and the truth of his worlld view, the brain-washed votaries of the ROP still proclaim the inherent benevolence of Islam. The BBC seems intent, for reasons no thinking person can understand, to perform the same function as Comrsde Bala’s mind control machine Jackie, by putting anyone who critisizes Islam on the nazi/racist/xenophobe naughty step.

    One guest dares to approach the issue as if Google would choose to philanthropically distribute the money itself and is quickly corrected – no this is an exercise where the British government has the money.

    Then Paddy O’Connell is outraged that several companies have paid no tax at all, and is advised that it was probably because they either made no profits, or they made such a large loss in previous years it was offset against current losses.

    O’Connell’s response – “well so they claim” and then a suggestion that he didn’t believe there were such things as losses, and the state should decide how much tax businesses should pay if they do make a loss !

    Yes it is sad that Terry Wogan has died. He was a good broadcaster – on TV as well as radio. But part of the past BBC, not the present BBC. Instead of someone genial like Terry Wogan or Michael Parkinson hosting a late-night chat show – we have the execrable and snarky Graham Norton.

    And I did not like the line on Broadcasting House where Wogan was credited with helping many thousands through Children in Need. What helped and did the work was the money that viewers gave, not the media personalities who usually took a fat fee.

    We can expect the BBC to wallow in Woganmania for a few days now.

Love him or hate him, Wogan and that other Irishman who some may be too young to remember on here (Eamonn Andrews), plus a Yorkshire man with equally a good sense of humour, Parkinson, were the masters of the chat show .

          And of course the Panorama people who tried to blow the whistle on Savile got the boot, those who at that stage continued the cover-up did not.

    An interesting snippet I’ve just discovered; sorry if others have already mentioned this.
    Hard line “feminist” left wing MP Jess Phillips sprung to the defence of the revolting rapists who rampaged through the streets of Cologne on new year’s eve. She told the Question Time audience that similar things happened every Saturday night on Broad Street Birmingham. She waffled on about “Misogynistic, patriarchal societies, blah, blah, blah.” The clear inference being that “men” are the same which ever culture they belong to. Remember Phillips is the MP for this area, so you’d have thought she might be doing her best to promote it, not run it into the gutter.
    Of course she was talking out of her hat; a typical knee jerk reaction that these repulsive lefties always have when confronted by facts. It transpires that in 12 weeks there have been only 5 reports of “sexual harassment” in this area of Brum….not anywhere close to the 800 in a single night in Cologne. If this nasty, racist creature was my MP i’d be spitting blood. You simply couldn’t fabricate lies like this about any other section of the community other than the much maligned white working class British bloke.
    Does anyone else think this awful creature should resign?

      I am quite confused by the media’s reporting on Phillips’ comments. Is she saying that every Saturday night hundreds of white girls are raped and sexually assaulted in Broad Street Birmingham by Islamists or is she saying that the girls in Cologne were only heckled, or is Phillips saying that heckling equates to rape or rape is only heckling? As a hard line feminist I’m sure she will welcome equal jail sentences for women and 50 50 custody male/female in divorce. Oh sorry that’s equality she wants cake and eat it and not have to resign for her outrageous comments.

    As the BBC has been piss-poor on reporting the US electoral scene owing to its visceral hatred of Trump and its fawning over Hillary, here is a quick analysis of where things stand for the crucial Iowa caucuses on Monday. Trump actually gained from missing the Fox debate – Cruz got mauled there and Trump was able to avoid direct attacks while pulling a big audience on MSNBC for his veterans rally nearby. The latest polling in Iowa shows Trump still ahead of Cruz, with Rubio maybe gaining. It will all come down to voter turnout, of course, and it looks a close tussle between Cruz’s big organisational drive over months in Iowa versus Trump’s ability to pull in new voters.

    Why is it that a few minutes perusing US websitessites like HotAir, PowerLine, Daily Caller and RealClearPo9litics can give a clearer idea of what is happening than “the world’s greatest broadcaster” ?

    What would be the consequences for the Tory party of the UK voting to leave the EU (and it’s suggested that it’s highly likely that we will)

    David Cameron would have to resign

    The Tory Party would have to quickly come together to present a united front.

    It’s difficult with the BBC to know whether they are covering a subject fairly and objectively, or whether they are trying to send a message to Tory listeners what might happen if they vote to leave.
    For Labour it simply doesn’t matter what they do as they’re not in government, and despite the split in their ranks leftists would perhaps be pleased to see the back of Corbyn. The irony is that he might be strengthened, as he has voiced support to leave the EU in the past.

    Anyone else sick to death with the BBC’s pathetic lefty ‘comedy’ programmes? Actually, not just the BBC but ALL left-wing ‘humour’. Lefties are simply NOT funny. This is due to all of the areas that are taboo because of their pathetic, self-imposed PC beliefs. The only areas lefties can poke fun at are: Ukip, the Tories, heterosexual males, Christians, Donald Trump etc. Really puerile, cliched and lazy humour (like the pathetic Miranda) is also sanctioned as it turns viewers into braindead morons, thus being easier to control and turn into lefty minions.

    No-one outside the westend lefty bubbles finds lefty humour remotely funny. I’ve been to the Edinburgh Fringe and trendy shows in London and have found myself amongst lefty audiences who pretend to laugh because they think they have to laugh so as to fit in with the lefties all around them: one lefty feminist loser spent her entire show slagging of macho males… it was so appallingly bad, but the NHS glasses-wearing, bearded hipsters were all trying to out-do each other in their pretend laughs. It was truly pathetic! It was so obvious they didn’t find it funny but have to follow the line that right-wing people are intrinsically bigoted and oppressive. God, I hate lefties, they are miserable, intolerant nasty cretins who try to impose their way of seeing the world on everyone else.

      I think the BBC rules are that you cannot make jokes about those that the lefties regard as Inferior, but say are equal. But you can only make jokes about those deemed superior by the lefties, but say are stupid.

      It’s a dysfunctional emotional response to a situation, that produces a contradictory statement from the lefty. So if a lefty calls you stupid, then that would confirm the fact that you must be a UKIP Mensa member type.

      It’s a dysfunctional mindset that was also the reason for Hitler’s anti-Semitism. Hitler as a socialist stated that he hated the Jews because they made money from WWI. But as a socialist, Hitler was also in the contradictory mindset that the BBC is now in. Those deemed superior (Jews with money) are said to be inferior, but subsequently found to be the Race with the highest IQ.

      So the BBC wants to put Tories, UKIPers and Mensa members in the gas chambers, and produce an Internazi (International Socialist) paradise on Earth.

    The shadow chancellor reminded us this morning on the Sunday Politics that by the end of this century the world will be borderless so we might as well prepare for it. With the likes of him in charge he is probably right. But I don’t believe that ordinary western people will accept his premise. The only reason things have go to this stage with little protest from the ‘ordinary folks’ is that the liberal elite with their control of the media, judiciary , police , universities etc have managed to disguise what is happening and to suppress protest. But the cracks are appearing and people are realising what is going on and of course we don’t like it nor do we accept that we can’t defend our borders if we have the will to do so. Presumably, most of the ruling elite share this awful vision of a borderless world. This may explain Merkel’s madness, I can’t think of anything else that can. Well if they do share this view we had better get rid of them all quickly so we can start to recover our continent.

      Open borders, combined with massive energy shortages and economic and social chaos, will lead to conflict on a grand scale and – they hope – reduce the world’s population to the 600 million or so they believe to be ‘sustainable’, at the same time hastening the birth of their eco-soclialist, totalitarian world government.
