    Pat Buchanan, extract from an article at http://www.dare.com – his final sentence is the one which all of us, who want to halt our country’s slide into the abyss, need to remember.

    “The elites of Europe are as out of touch as America’s.

    Angela Merkel, Time’s Person of the Year in 2015, is at risk of being dumped in 2016 if she does not halt the next wave of Middle Eastern refugees who will be arriving on Europe’s shores when the seas calm in the spring in the Aegean and the Mediterranean.

    If we believe the immigration issue Trump has seized upon is explosive here, look to Europe. In the Balkans and Central Europe, even in Austria, the barriers are going up and the border guards appearing.

    Mass migration from the Third World to the First World is not only radicalizing America. It could destroy the European Union. Anger over any more migrants entering the country is among the reasons British patriots now want out of the EU.

    America is crossing into a new era. Trump seems to have caught the wave, while Clinton seems to belong to yesterday.

    A note of caution: This establishment is not going quietly.”

    Is Basil Brush OK?
    Thinking of booking him for a kiddies party sometime soon…but obviously, in the current febrile climate, would hate to have to rescind my offer to the 70 year old national treasure!
    And-if so, can I use either Roy North or Mr Derek?…or will there be “ishoos”

      Basil Brush should be OK. Whether it is Mr Roy or Mr Derek accompanying him you will always know where one of his hands is. That leaves just one to monitor.

          Billy Connolly once had a run in with Mr Rod Hull of ‘hand up an emu’s arse’ fame. During filming for Parkinson, Rod Hull moved the puppet towards Billy Connolly’s face. Quick as a flash, Billy Connolly grabbed it and said, ‘If you don’t clear off I’ll break your neck and his fucking arm!’. Needless to say, at least one guest on that show wasn’t bothered again.
          Sadly, Rod Hull died a few years later whilst adjusting the aerial on his roof. Rumour has it that he was trying to ensure he couldn’t get BBC reception.

    How come the likes of Paul Nurse or assorted G20 people can speak of “shocks” if we vote to leave the Titanic?…can talk of us knowing nothing anymore if we do?
    Next up-leaving the EU will reduce our life expectancy…don`task why…it just will…OK?
    Shocks?
    What-like mass rapes and sexual assaults in German city cathedral squares on New Years Eve?
    Like massed Somalians throwing brieze blocks down on British lorry drivers by Calais?
    Like the likely collapse of the whole Eurozone madness when Italy and France become Cyprus and Greece in 2017?
    I myself would be frightened and fearful if we stay in the EU as sitting ducks for the coming migration crises that will dwarf anything seen thus far…and are stuck in the mud as the Eurozone countries bale out in turn and have to face their electorates with nothing in their ATMs.

      The way I heard it was that the shock would be to the EU, and not to Britain. Given the amount Britain pumps into the EU it’s hardly rocket science to work out that the EU would have an economic shock, but wasn’t that one of the major reason for leaving anyway?

    Well here’s a turn up which the BBC aren’t going to like given the reports they’ve been running these past few days.

    Jalal Uddin: Man re-arrested over Rochdale mosque man’s death
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-35677737

    And then tonight a ‘man’ has been charged with the murder:

    Mohammed Hussain Syeedy of Ramsay Street, Rochdale, has now been charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder

    http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/man-charged-murder-imam-jalal-10960519

    Seeing as the MEL (Manchester Evening Lies) is left wing and Labour supporting, it’s not difficult to figure out how their ‘minds’ have been working over this, when they post a ‘related story’ “Religious & race hate crime rise by nearly a third in Greater Manchester.”

    Now the accused perp is a member of the RoP there will be very little investigation into motives, such as Shia/Sunni or Pakistani / Bangladeshi, because the Fascist left wouldn’t want that kind of thinking getting out into the community. That the RoP is less than perfect is almost certainly a thought crime !

      It would be fascinating to compare what the BBC sinks its teeth into and won’t let go…. until the narrative goes sideways and ‘watertight oversight’ kicks in and things get consigned to the memory hole.

    Iraqi Kurdish forces ‘rescue Swedish girl from IS’ followed by Life under IS ‘really hard’, rescued Swedish girl says

    When I first read this I assumed (wrongly as it turns out) that the BBC’s failure to name the Swedish girl meant she was a Muslim of Somali/Sudanese, whatever, descent. However never assume conspiracy when incompetence is a possible explanation.

    Both the NY Times and the Daily Mail provide much greater detail, including the girl’s name, photograph and family circumstances.

    Did the BBC know that Marilyn Nevalainen was rescued from ISIS by Kurdish forces in late October, but escaped from her saviours to go back to her jihadi wannabe partner, and gave birth days later? While her claim not to know what ISIS or Islam was may have some credibility when she left Sweden it certainly became unbelievable when she returned to the ISIS ‘caliphate’. A reasonable question must be did she want to be rescued?

    Here we go, folks, the issue of our time: Cameron’s insincere, unintended “negotiations” and the forthcoming vote he’s manoeuvred himself into holding have left the door to independence open a crack. We would be fools, defeatists and totally irresponsible not to put our shoulders behind it and give it an almighty shove.

    And last night I told that Osbourne and his pals in Japan have suggested that a British exit will result in global financial shock-waves. That’s bollocks, of course, but are those “shock-waves” to be caused by the same Britain which is too small to stand on its own, or another one?

    In any event, all kinds of forces will be ranged against us: Big Business, the totally impartial, fair-minded, even-handed fluffy-fluffy liberal B.B.C., (‘non-advertising’, yet using the same subliminal suggestiveness that is used to get people to buy soap-powder and cornflakes), foreign “experts” and the lies and threats of the British quislings who benefit from the mess they’ve got is into. So we have to fight and we have to vote. This is the only chance we’ll get and we should take it.

    And I commend to all readers the videos of the ‘GO’ campaign involving Kate Howie, David Davies, Nigel Farage and George Galloway among others. View them on ‘Youtube’ and spread them – our “national broadcaster” won’t.

    Good luck all – and let’s do it.

Well the BBC have got Mary Beard doing Up Pompeii. The Oxbridge Don is the Tribune of the Plebs now folks – titter ye not. And Marr likes to close out the show with a band – maybe it should be a Song for Europe? The BBC have been singing that with us like a puppet on a string for more than 20 years now.

    OK fingers tightly gripping the nose – BBC: We regret to inform our Licence Payers that Interrailing against Tory Cutz is dealyed for up to four months for over-running social engineering works on behalf of the EU. There’s a very big hole in the EU to plug.

    There is however a very good service on the underground gimmigrant railway – anyone crossing the Paul Mason-Doucet Line will get a warm welcome. Migrants and their confederates in the Campaign Charity Klan will still be wearing sinister hoodies and setting up flaming mosques on your lawn.

      Very hard to take someone seriously when his first sentence is a lie: “In the week when the UK’s five extremist right-wing media billionaires won their battle to waste our time, money and political capital on a EU referendum”

      What he would probably refer to as “the right wing press” are merely reflecting public opinion, which is clearly in opposition to his extremist left-wing views. In fact the desire for a referendum was so strong it actually spawned a political party and forced the hand of the Tories. To turn his argument on its head, how inconvenient for the left that the public haven’t succumbed to the left-wing propaganda of the BBC and the Guardian. Isn’t democracy a bitch.

    Much as the bBBC would wish it were otherwise, England beat Ireland 21-10 at Twickenham. In common with so many other sports, the match was not shown by the world’s favourite and most envied news service but on ITV and, just to ensure the result was a reflection of the game, the BBC text pages described the win as ‘England edging out Ireland’.

    Author Tom Bower has published a book confirming what most on the Right have known since the time it happened, that Tony Blair conspired to flood the country with immigrants so that he could ensure a permanent pool of Labour voters, that party having squandered the support of the indigenous working class.

    This is a very serious charge indeed and yet the BBC, even though it too had its problems with Blair, has chosen to more or less ignore Bower’s incendiary book, no doubt because it approves of Blair’s actions.

    Perhaps, then, when we finally get the miserable little sociopath into the dock, where he belongs, we can have a few of the BBC types who are, in effect, endorsing his actions on trial beside him.

        It may be that the selling point to the rest of the party (MPs like Dianne Abbott come to mind) was greater diversity and increased votes following the move by traditional Labour supporters to support the Tories or UKIP.
        However one has to ask why the Tories never said anything at the time and let it happen (and still didn’t use it to slag off Labour, preferring to concentrate on Labour’s handling of the economy)
        I still think (as many now do) that globalism was at work and Blair having been helped into power by Murdoch etc. was bound to pay back the favour to the Godfathers of Bilderberg.

    Nearly all of the Remain campaign is based on fear and bullying. Phrases I constantly hear such as, “a leap into the dark,”and “we’re blindly heading into the unknown,” say nothing but generate unfounded concen amongst the undecided. These fear mongers don’t seem at all concerned that we no longer live in a true democracy. How can we when, at the very best, the British only have a one in 28 vote? There are countries in the EU with populations the size of Wales that have as much sway as we do.
    Only a true democracy can police its own borders. We can’t do that. We are always told that this ability to work anywhere in the EU works both ways. Yep, I can just see how this works in practice. Some brickie, with a young family, upping sticks and taking off for some former soviet country. Most of these places are much poorer than Blighty. So our bricklayer sets off to a country where he can work for one tenth of the pay. That makes sense…
    Our people are competing in the job market with much cheaper labour. It’s not right, it’s not fair and yet it’s supported by the very people who are supposed to represent the British working class. The Labour Party.
    Baffling…

      You should have a peek at Machiavelli’s ‘Discourses on Livy’ (c1530), Chris. Full of apt gems.

      “Chapter 8:
      The Reason why peoples leave their homelands and overrun the lands of others.
      …The other cause for war is when an entire people with all its families leaves a place, driven either by famine or by war, and goes to seek out a new location and a new province, not to rule over it as those above do but, rather, to possess it, even the private property, and to drive out or murder its ancient inhabitants…
      …Such peoples come in great numbers, and then they violently enter the lands of others, murder the inhabitants, take possession of their property, create a new kingdom, and change the very name of the province…
      …Lombardy used to be called Cisalpine Gaul; France used to be called Transalpine Gaul and now it is named after the Franks; Slavonia was called Illyria; Hungary Pannonia: England Britannia…Moses also called that part of Syria (Marusia) he had occupied Judea…”

        Ta 4D! Will look it all up-Niccolo said some good stuff in his classic “The Prince” in Chapter 6 as I recall.
        Words to the effect that there are hawks and doves-but also vultures who merely perch on the lines and wait to see who`s winning before piling in to claim a victory and to share the spoils.
        And also the fact that Moses won his battles with military force, not by imploring the enemy to come to Mt Sinai to discuss the tablets there…and that opposing soldiers would not have been won over by his eloquence but by the fact that his army cared enough to win…the alternative was annihilation.
        Whereas his opponents could afford to compromise and fight another day-and their hearts were not in the fight as Moses were.
        Didn`t need to be.

        Not exactly correct-but enough of parts of it that i`ve not forgotten.

    And now we hear of possible referenda on EU membership from Hungary and Greece.

    Viktor Orban of Hungary has described the EU as a cabal or liberal elites – not much different to how we see them. They have according to him been welcoming of the gimmigrants without a second thought for the countries who have to deal with them, and the quota system imposed on countries like his is anathema.
    Unfortunately the elites are in a position of absolute power, and cannot be democratically removed. Even the BBC are being forced to admit that the union is being pushed to breaking point by liberal insanity which care nothing at all for Europe’s people, and everything for their own bleeding hearts and hand wringing.

    This is the terminology that the BBC and Europhiles use to describe our referendum .

    Not Full Democracy , Direct Democracy , Participation Democracy , People Power , Choice of the People or any other way to describe a referendum , but Disease . With other frightening words like Contagion .

    We know the Beeboids are glum because ther are no more People’s Republics , but can’t they be glad about real power going back to the people , or are we all just proles to them .

      And-shit as the Tories are-they alone were elected on the promise of giving us a referendum.
      And-were it not for UKIP spooking the same Tories out in 2013/4-we`d not have ever been offered one.
      And I`ve no reason to doubt that Cameron and his election staff would never have given us such a bare referendum as they`re doing now-had they ever thought that they would have to enact it.
      So my point?
      Ever since this referendum was called, all the liberal elite have done is imply how petty Cameron was to actually bother the grown ups in Germany and Brussels/Paris with our “petty, small beer concerns that only save the Tories from imploding, of no concern to the bigwigs with their Eurozone and their Schengens”..etc
      So how the hell these liberal naysayers (who`d rather we not stir from the basement to bother the guests with our petty trivial concerns about washing lines or getting stains out of the pedestal mats) DARE to tell us whether or why we should vote for the EU is a question they`ll never ask-presumptuous bumptious wankers without Janet Webbs charm.
      Was she married to Peter Woods?
      AND-I`ll take no advice from Labour or the Liberals, SNP or whoever( except the Greens who DID offer us a referendum as I recall from the Muppet House) on what to vote for-THESE Totalising EU pawns would NEVER have let us have a referendum…so their views are utterly irrelevant.
      As are the BBCs and Channel 4 s…neither of who thought we should have one, because Calais and Cologne , an ISIS hub in Luton and not deigning to be petty with poor Angela or Francois at such times as these( has there EVER been a”good time” to hold a referendum with them?…course not!).
      In fact-with France and Italy to go all Cyprus on us-there`s never been a better time at 3 mins to midnight to quietly man the lifeboats and slip off before Lampadusa becomes Benghazi….

    An article in The Sunday Times today describes how the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) are clamping down on advertising. No longer can you advertise for a “handyman” or “barmaid”, instead it should read “maintenance worker” or “bartender”. Even “mother and baby” classes would be illegal because it discriminates against men.

    The EHRC says “there are very limited circumstances under the act when employers can exclude certain groups.
    For instance, a sports centre could legitimately advertise women-only swimming sessions if there was a demand from Muslim women who might not want to swim when men were in the pool.”

    So that will mean that everyone is bound by the law apart from Muslims who can ignore it when it suits them.

    Lord, give me strength.

      The discomfort of the clueless progressives with nice houses and boats on the drive is quite something-as are the clueless bland automatons who`ve been chosen to be the enforcers of solidarity for the Swedish state…such as it is, for as long as it still exists.
      Imagine some Imam is already on his way to Kandahore to get a fatwa issued on those who would shut down the Muslim call to prayer…clearly this was well past first light, so they should all have been up and available in their onesies and pyjamas/burqas…therefore this turning off Allahs songbirds by the fuzz was a racist hate crime I`d have thought.
      Islington and Hampstead-Highgate and Holland Park…Momentum need to see this, and all we need do is tell them to do it-and the lefty oafs will do it for us.

    Apparently, Merkel the Mad is going to be making a solo appearance on a German TV talk show tonight.
    Things must be really desparate In spite of the massive pooled sovreignty of the EU, Turkey is being begged and bribed to control the EU’s “external borders” and the interior minister de Maiziere is off on a grovelling trip to the Maghreb countries for the same purpose. It just shows how hollow the “stronger together” claims are. If you attach yourself to a laughing stock pseudostate which cannot control its own borders, you yourself become a laughing stock. On Marr, Duncan-Smith was quite correct to point out that the Continentals are obsessed by the “European project” – blind loyalty to a state that does not exist. Merkel’s madness was largely based on the delusion that feelings of “European solidarity” would so move the other 27 EU states that they would take a share of “refugees” on some form of economic or demographic criterion. Closing borders in the Balkans is reducing the pressure on Germany, but still some German commentators are accusing countries like Hungary and Slovakia of “national egotism”. These loons have no idea what they really want. Peace in Syria thanks to Putin?. If they had acted in their own national interest 5 years ago and deposed Assad, the “refugee” problem could have been greatly curtailed. Such thoughts are, of course, taboo as an infidel presence in Syria would offend Muslims. Roll on BREXIT.

      “If they had acted in their own national interest 5 years ago and deposed Assad”

      How exactly is it in any European countries national interest to depose Assad?

      The Assad family has rules over Syria since the 1970s, and although being a torn in the side of Israel it has been a stable country in the region.
      We all know the consequences of our lunatic liberal Western leaders looking for regime change, not one of the countries they have carried this out in has ended up better, and most have collapsed into civil war, a breeding ground for terrorists, and a gateway for bogus refugees to gain access to Europe.

      The fact is that Saudi and other Sunni Muslim countries in the gulf financed ISIS and other rebel groups to fight against a group of fellow Muslims who they considered heretics.

      The problem lies not in Syria with Assad but in Saudi, with its royal family, and the fanatical Wahabist Mullahs in Mecca who control them.

        What contained the refugee situation, either deposing Assad quickly or supporting him, would have been in the national interest of the European states if they were unwilling to define some external border. The only thing that seems to worry the German elite are images of “ugly scenes” going round the world as refugees gather at borders protected by walls and barbed wire.
        “Ending the Syrian conflict ” is now being touted in the German media as the “final solution” to the refugee problem. Relying on Putin or Erdoğan to solve the refugee crisis seems a long shot.

          Couldn’t agree more ID, the problems faced by the west are the direct result of the “post colonial guilt” that has been foisted on European nations, and its replacement with “liberal interventionism” in support of globalisation.

          Control of the migration streams should be the priority, carried out with a high level of suspicion of specifically Islamic migration streams.

          The boats in the Aegean and Mediterranean should meet with an Australian style response…rescue, and return to port of origin or secure (and humane) processing centre for asylum claims to be checked and proper identification procedures and issue of papers or deportation to point of origin accordingly. An unequivocal approach of this nature has been shown to work and would deter smugglers and save lives.

          Liberals interfering in Middle Eastern and African countries whilst stopping short of actually governing them is clearly doomed to failure, and simply creates failed states and vacuums easily filled by malignant forces, such as Islamic fundamentalists and criminal controlled smuggling economies.

    Probably a bit out of context for the theme of this forum but did anybody see Ian Duncan Smith on the Andrew Marr show today? Despite the usual BBC style attempts to interrupt him he managed to give an extremely good interview in support of Brexit.
    I think there could be a serious question as to who leads the Brexit campaign e.g. ‘marmite Boris’ bland ‘Gove’ ‘controversial’ Farage or ‘churchillian’ Duncan Smith (my description)
    In a brief joint interview alongside Angela Eagle he said something that was little reported (if it ever was) that aptly demonstrated what open immigration meant for the ordinary workers of this country. He referred to the mass employment of eastern European labour on the Olympic Stadium in East London and how it deprived employment for local workers and trades. As an east Londoner I know that was a fact and that there were local builders driving minicabs etc. in the area, in order to earn a living because the Labour Party had failed to live up to it’s promise that there would be great benefits for jobs locally. Hotels, boarding houses retail shops yes construction workers no.
    I am not a Tory supporter however I found myself warming to this man and his optimistic views on the future outside the European Union.

    Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has retweeted a quote widely attributed to Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini
    “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

    The Gawker website said it had created “a Twitter bot that would post quotes from the writings and speeches of… Mussolini” at Mr Trump until he eventually retweeted one.

    Correspondents say this is the latest example of behaviour which would have damaged any other candidate

    (“Correspondents” WTF are they & should we care?- The BBC’s practice of inventing persons to pretend distance from the reported views ? )

      I think Trump is pretty much a lock to be the Republican candidate, if he beats Cruz in Texas (unlikely) then Cruz is out and if he beats Rubio in Florida (possibly) then he’s out.

      It should make for a tremendous clash with Clinton in November; which seems appropriate as there is a tremendous amount riding on the outcome, both in the U.S., in the Anglosphere and in the rest of the West

    The story about Jude Law’s minders being attacked in the Jungle only seems to appear in the Mirror and the Express – both anti-immigration (albeit from different perspectives). It almost seems TOO good a story somehow so I wonder how much of it is true. Mind you, I’m suspicious of Toby Jones going. It’s not as if anybody from Eritrea would recognise him – but he is starring in the new Dad’s Army film which apparently got boo’d in some cinemas so maybe he needs the publicity? I wonder what Captain Mainwaring would have made of it all.

    Tonight’s lead item in “news where you are” (bBBC NorthWest) was that the looney leftie Scousers want to be able to ban demonstrations by any group that they don’t like. The entire article was about violence being ’caused’ by right-wing groups when socialists attack them.

      Yep saw that. The usual lefties interviewed, anyone from the “far right” interviewed? Nope. Social media however was pointing the finger well and truly where it belongs with the lefties.

    The BBC and Donald Trump. The behaviour of the BBC hive towards Trump is moving from the stupid towards the malevolently absurd and is to say the least of it unwise.
    Before I left for work this morning I caught a trailer for the Marr show. It featured an American woman laughing madly when asked about Donald Trump.
    It was obviously chosen by Marr and his producers as what they thought to be an amusing and politically right on comment on a man they obviously loathe and further more actively seek to humiliate.
    This is stupid on many levels. Firstly Trump almost certainly could not care less. Secondly it is going to make it very unlikely that if Trump is the GOP’s candidate and makes it to the Presidency that he will give our so called world class broadcaster the time of day.
    This could affect our relationship with our most important ally. The BBC and Marr in particular are a disgrace. Rude and stupid hardly begins to describe the behaviour.
    Please do not make the mistake of thinking that the marxist elite has any common sense or real intelligence. As we are seeing over the EU and Trump it is revealing itself to be a stupid, vindictive and hopefully ineffective bunch of wann abee thugs propelled more by innate cowardice than by any real virtue. Keep pushing at them for the whole rotten edifice is ripe for falling.

      Al Beeb tells us that the Oscar ceremony is being boycotted by ‘some’ Hollywood figures protesting about the lack of ethnic diversity among this year’s nominees?

      Well maybe, just maybe, the ethnics are just not good enough this year?

      Message to Al Beeb, ‘please stop trying to brainwash us’, we have seen through your propaganda years ago.

      It’s rolled into the morning like the boxing day tsunami Taffman! Utterly relentless are Al Beeb in carpet bombing the viewers with every brainwashing technique known to man! ‘Diversity’! I thought that was a shit dance troupe from ‘Britains got box’s to tick’? It took me about 5 minutes to realise the report was about the bloody Oscar’s!

      I have noticed though that nobody’s ‘diverse’ enough to tell the shit licker of a reporter to fuck off and stop race baiting and politicising everything about white culture like a 6th form bellend

    Oh just wait until next year, the nominations will be awash with non-whites ! There was a lot of fuss at the Brits about the same thing, but I always thought they had their own awards in the guise of the Mobos !

    Just watching a couple of ‘red carpet’ progs on obscure channels – honest to God the inane interviewing by so called ‘professionals’ of the stars on the carpet is excruciating, and worse still are the cringeworthy replies of the ‘stars’. Someone called Alex Zane (who he?) in the studio with a totally mute Elizabeth McGovern. Sadly I barely know even those in the nomination stakes, like Brie Larson (?) had to look her up – star of High School movies (oh dear), and the red carpet itself looks like rush hour on the underground. Oscar has lost the magic and glitter of the golden years of the greats, like Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, Liz Taylor, Burt Lancaster, James Stewart, Jimmy Cagney et al; now its models, reality stars and pretty men that pout and pose.

    Hypocrisy alert.

    Big news on bBBC his morning is that one of their FOI requests has revealed the NHS is recruiting staff from abroad. For more details watch a programme later tonight.
    In other words.
    1. This is not actually news, it is an advert for a programme
    2. The utter hypocrisy of the bBBC is revealed, using FOI requests (all naturally totally random and impartial – LOL) to create stories when they themselves hide behind their own FOI protection at every turn.

    An utterly despicable organisation totally unworthy of the special funding it receives compulsorily from anyone who owns a TV.

      Quite how the BBC can self-exempt for the purposes of covering staff lying, but expect other public bodies to front up in the public interest, is remarkable.

      But then, the political establishment lets them. Don’t they, John, Jesse…?

        The Bbc seem to be forever putting in FOI requests which then headline in their programmes. I am a bit miffed at hearing this so often because I assume it’s OUR money that’s paying for these FOIs. Did we ask for all this bias in their reporting? No, I didn’t think so!

    The Freedom of Information Act was brought in by Blair. It’s anything but and the Labour loving BBC know it.

    I requested from a Labour London Borough, their statistics for the success of their CCTV cameras in catching criminals. They replied that it would take too long to compile and therefore this request was exempt from the Act.

    I knew from a friend of mine who worked in the CCTV control room that there had been no success as regards catching criminals as all the cameras were in use for prosecuting motorists and therefore gathering revenue. Revenue was and is more important than crime for them.

    Far right and Cameron supported Anti Fascists battle in Liverpool on Saturday.

    BBC report here mentions police officer injured by a missile but does not indicate which side threw it. The Liverpool Echo clearly places blame on the far right. A woman was also hit with a piece of stone pulled out of the road and used as a missile. Photographs of the hole in the road have since been removed.

    Examine the photographs in the BBC and Liverpool Echo reports. The far right were on the steps of the building whilst Cameron’s thugs were pelting them with missiles. They even boasted about it – see picture here.

    The UAF thugs turned up to attack a legitimate demonstration, according to their no platform policy. Obviously the far right were stupid to give those ridiculous Nazi salutes.

    It seems to me that the injuries were caused by the missile throwing storm troopers of the left, who actually boasted about it, and were supported by the psychos of Class War. Come on Cameron, condemn these thugs and disassociate yourself from them

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-35681323

    Echo article which clearly blames the far right for the woman’s injuries.

        Dave6666, If only, this bunch are welcome in Liverpool; they are backed by the unions, not forgetting Hope and Hate who are paid £240,000 pa from Unbound Philanthropy, an organization which financially supports radical leftist open borders organizations. And trickling down from the state is income for the UAF. We are not talking about rent a crowds of unwashed, we are looking at well financed thugs akin to the NAZIS. They can boast about breaking the law because they know the law will not touch them. I hope the injured police officer recovers and understands that his mates will not seek to prosecute his assailant,

        Link to Unbound Philanthropy, check their spreadsheets for amounts donated to groups who meet their objectives.
        Unbound Philanthropy gives over £2 million to progressive outfits here in the UK

      Don`t they KNOW there was enough omelettes there to feed 20 Degsy Hattons or a Camilla, a Jenni anyway?
      Oh those poor cleaners too-or is this a job creating go-slow health and safety thing that will employ Degsys grandkids for a fortnight as they claim to spot some asbestos in a shell …or shell suit(calm down, calm down!)?
      Will Mary Berry have enough eggs to waste on her telly shows this week now?
      Oh the questions…and no Greenie or Leftie will consider this a waste of good food, a slap in the face for the chickens killed in needless sacrifice?
      I`d do them for driving Fash to his death..prbably because he was gay, black and scored a good goal on telly once.
      #Justice For Fash#-these racist homophobes need to be taken on, and jailed for their demonisation of the first black gay footy icon…Liverpool are still on the docks lump scheme since 1967 by these tweets!
      Maybe fellow scouser Edwina Currie needs to have a word-if ONE person gets Salmonella or Bad Egg disease..then hoping the Twatts above get taken to the cleaners-THAT would be a sentence that might kill them…oh dear, how sad and never mind.

    “You can’t vote for an actor because he’s black. You got to give a good performance”
    This is what the activists seem to overlook. Giving people rewards because of race and not ability or merit is just an extension of the something-for-nothing society.

      I thought of doing Fabrice Muambas life story for next years Oscars!
      I know it`s only forty five minutes on a pitch made up to resemble White Hart Lane.
      In fact nothing much happens…but it`ll be a shoo in.
      Sponsors include Warburtons and Pataks Curry Paste Emporium at this stage.
      My only bit of creative license is that it is Jimmy Savile in disguise who jumps out of the stand with a heart monitor and a van that was once his campervan of shame…but is now a loveshack that takes Patrice to Mid-Staffs for specific treatment…redemption for Jimmy, and he proudly hands his “Jim Fixes it For us all” medallion at Wembleys winners balcony to Patrice at the end of this classic “Feel Good British Film”
      And Peter Kaye and myself sing “Ebony and Ivory” over the credits at the end, as it segues into Nice One Cyrille…but that`ll be the sequel involving Big Rons Three degrees-my 2018 oscar effort(shhhh!).
      Crowd funding welcome you lot….any money spare will go towards my cats gender reassignment surgery…two bricks if you don`t stump up!
      Colin Bellend!
      Goes without saying that there`s not much acting needed to play dead on a pitch for an hour as we muse on our lilywhite racism…so maybe a starring role for Sir Lenward…he`s wooden enough to do it innit bruv?

    Yes but what about the MINORITIES.. after all there are not enough of them (otherwise they would be democratically electable). An English film awards in Swaheli (direct from Zimbabwe) and translates into Swedish via a compulsory fee Films and BBC TV license fees is the only way backwards. Communal aims and Communal goals, that is the approved EU position on Climate Change.

    When the BBC cannot find enough minorities, it can simply HIRE them in for the duration of ‘virtualness’ and ‘well being’ comfort zone media positioning. Liberal angst ‘oh shit’ moments covered. Marxist ‘no border’ dreams revered!.
