    What’s more important, the fact that Barack and Dave (top headline on BBC website) are no longer licking each others bollocks or the fact that a high ranking member of the Establishment (Archbishop of Canterbury) appears to have lifted his blinkers and can now see what millions of us in this country have been seeing for years about immigration – it’s fucking us up and we’re not racists and bigots for saying so. Hallelujah

      Don’t think Obama was ever licking Dave’s but he’s clearly no longer bov’d about Dave licking his! Probably more to do with the fact that neither he nor Dave are going to be leaders much longer and no longer have to pretend to be chums.

    Do we sense Spring is in the air this morning? BBC London do Countryfile as pregnant as a pudding Victoria Hollins brings us an ‘aw, cute’ item on the last park hedgehog colony in Regent’s Park. “Under threat from developers” (grrrr bad!)

    So far, so BBC. Until a campaigner – let’s call her Mrs Tiggy Winkle – busts the BBC agenda with : “They can’t just move them to Richmond Park – they’ve probably got badgers or something like that”

    [I hear in my head that old time BBC voice] ‘Hello children everywhere, we didn’t want to break it to you like this – but that naughty Bill the Badger ate hedgehogs for his tea”

    “Why don’t they make shoes for black ballet dancers?”
    Do you know that question has been keeping me awake at nights for some time now, never fear, the intrepid Kirstie Brewer is on the case.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35629323
    In a desperate herculian barrel scraping effort to find isshoos to get offended about on other peoples behalf the BBC concludes that ballet is full of nazis, well something like that, I started loosing the will to live after reading a couple of lines and couldn’t finish the article so can’t confirm that.

      Maybe Eric is missing a trick here?

      ‘He’ could become a ‘they’ and do so himself, getting into the multi-hued shoes game, covering every potential offence bus Pantone colour under the sun, assured of boatloads of life-preserver clad BBC publicity.

      The thing is, unlike for the BBC, market forces, and economies of scale, may intrude.

      Be like Eric. Or not.

          I’m sure that was the very first thing most people would have been wondering. Well done to the Newsround Blog for saying what everyone thought but was too embarrassed to ask.

    Couple of Bill the Badger ate Mrs Tiggy Winkle moments in the news this morning for the BBC to choke on

    Nobel Peace Laureate Barack Obama ‘criticises Cameron for defence cuts’ – oouch!

    Archbishop of Canterbury ‘it is outrageous to call people ‘racist’ just because they are concerned about immigration’ – whoops!

    We could add Eddie Jones : ‘Wales cheat at scrum’ – but let’s not pile on the pain. The BBC agenda is having a bad enough day as it is.

    I wish you lot would stop worrying about trivial things like Brexit, mass immigration of rapists, climate change, BBC political interference etc and turn your attention to what is actually important. This for instance:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35629323
    Having been a long time campaigner for ballet shoes for black dancers it is good to see the BBC getting stuck into this vital issue of our times. This is what I pay my licence fee for.
    £4Bn of the nation’s hard earned well spent.

    I am enjoying the pre referendum shenanagans meted out every day and the blindly obedient biased, pro eu bbbc trotting out anything even slight;y pro eu. Now we have Blair joining in……..so there is lord mandleson, tony blair, gordon brown, call me dave all telling us that life as we know it will end if we vote for brexit. What a trustworthy bunch they are!

      I was wondering why Lord Ashdown has not been making an appearance. A good talking down to from Paddy. What a treat!

    The Today programme on R4 was in a strange state of excitement about the divine revelation from the Archcunter of Bishopbury. It’s not racist to question mass immigration. You don’t say! As if anyone needs the permission of this dried out old loon to ascertain the obvious. After 50 years of slow cultural suicide only the BBC could think this ecclesiastical flatulence had any significance at all. Is this some ploy to show that our self-appointing moral guardians and intellectual superiors are taking the childish fears of the ever so “little people” seriously before the referendum?

    I bet the pro Paki Muslim Paedo BBC won’t be reporting on this one:

    http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/appeal-find-child-rapist-who-11024118

    Appeal to find child rapist who fled court moments before he was found guilty screened on Crimewatch

    Currently he’s almost certainly found sanctuary within the Pakistani Muslim Community, until someone finds a passport which belongs to some one else, to allow him to return to the shit hole which is modern day Pakistan, and what the UK is turning into.

    This piece of shit wasn’t born in Britain, he was allowed to enter this country by the depraved BLiar government. Judges should not have a choice in whether he is returned to Pakistan after he finishes his jail term, it should be automatic and only the decision of the Home Secretary in the most exceptional of circumstances.
