    Two points today that made me mad.

    1. To see Osborne flanked by Balls and Cable on the lunchtime news? Enough to make me spill my soup!! What a hypocrite Osborne is to do this. Just to see the three of them together was awful.

    2. Just read this on Guido. http://order-order.com/2016/05/16/eus-taxpayer-funded-referendum-intervention/
    An EU directly 100% funded think tank producing videos telling us to vote Remain.
    It’s just basic blackmail – just like all the organisations funded by the EU in order to spout their party line.

    Can’t something be done about this? It’s utterly disgraceful and extremely unfair. What’s the Electoral Commission doing? Isn’t it supposed to see that things are fair. It’s no good doing it AFTER the vote!

    Just been looking at some A and E admissions stats. You know how the bBBC like to big up how many are having to wait over 4 hours.
    Well, the stats differentiate between major and minor ilnesses. The minor ones (mainly driven by crap GP services) have rocketed from about 1 million in 2005 to nearly 2 million in 2015. Maybe some credit to A and E staff is due. They all have to be assessed.
    But the major ones are more interesting. These (and we presume these are the genuine urgent cases) have increased from 3.37 million to 3.82 million on a fairly steady upward trend. Why would people be 15% more seriously ill than 10 years ago, given we are more healthy than we have ever been? Could it be that they’re not?
    I wonder if Angelina Jolie and her ilk have any ideas.

    Won’t be holding my breath for any ‘investigative reporting’ from the bBBC on this one.

    Fascist Left double think.

    Donald Trump has a proposed period of banning entry of Muslims to the USA This is according to the Fascists a bad thing and waycist.

    Meanwhile on the other hand Saudi bans any non Muslims from 3 miles circling Masjid al-Ḥarām. No non Muslim is allowed to settle in Saudi, they are only allowed into the country for specific reasons.

    There is a hadith that reports that the Prophet Mohammed, on his death bed, said that ‘no two religions can co-exist’ in Arabia.

    So no other religion other than Islam is tolerated.

    Yet no one even murmurs that this might be absurd, and certainly not any of the insults which have been levelled at Donald Trump. How are the two any different? Well the brown eyed boys are a special case of course, they are the ubermensch for todays neo Fascists and cannot be criticised, whereas Trump is white and of Christian origin, and as we all know white lives simply don’t matter.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-boris-johnson-trusted-david-cameron-truth-europe-a7029476.html
    EU referendum: Boris Johnson is trusted by twice as many voters as David Cameron to tell truth about Europe.
    Well, hardly a surprise. Does Herr Cameron really expect people to believe that charade of a renegotiation in Brussels – the one where he ‘reformed’ the EU, aka a pig in a poke.

    Europe migrant crisis: EU faces ‘populist uprising’

    Former MI6 head Richard Dearlove has said Europe faces a “populist uprising” if it is unable to show its citizens it can control the migrant crisis.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36304721

    Quite amazing that everyone I know has been saying this yet the elites just seem to keep sailing on as the ship is sinking, seemingly oblivious.
    Alternatively not only burying their own heads in the sand, but attempting to forcibly bury everyone else’s too!

      It is indeed amazing .I am still waiting for one of our liberal fantasists to tell me of one single nation or people that voluntarity ceded their land to another. There are no examples ever.
      Europeans are just like every one else throughout time. They will not give up their land willingly. That makes Dearlove’s predictions a certainty if the current policies are continued.
      As for the inevitability of unlimited migrations that is liberal rubbish. Nothing is inevitable about it. Europe could be permanently closed to immigration and although it would be dififcult it is entirely feasible. Once the ordinary people get this then things will change .
      It is now impossible to predict events more than a few months ahead. It seems as if Dearlove has just seen sense and grasped that reality cannot be denied for ever.

    This story about the migrant crisis, the one that was self-generated by the EU, very quickly got the ghosted off the front pages:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36299835
    I wonder if it had anything to do with the most popular comments that were very un-BBC. They are very slow learners at the national treasure.

    If I gave a damn, I`d examine that Trump-Cameron hope-for spat as described on the BBC News at 8am this morning on Radio 4.
    It`s as if the BBC Lefty oafs who edit this crap of theirs didn`t even have the heart to watch this non-slug of a story crawl out of its saucer, and try to make it to anything other that their bin.
    Am I right in guessing the ” I`ll not get along with Cameron” was part of an answer to Piers Morgans trailer of a show when he passed the snide note from Cameron Minor to Thwacker Trump in the staffroom stateside?
    He said-and then HE said…you go girl!
    Did the story even leave a slime trail on the lonesome pine?…or did I just dream this drive by in a disability scooter with a chick pea to blow through a juice straw, with no Ventolin in the wheezy inhaler?
    From editorial genesis at 6.30-buried with no memorial, no-one to grieve its empty passing at 9am tops!
    Still eh?…the BBC will not give up until we`ve all voted for OUT and our colonial chums have all voted for the Mighty Trump….utter madness, but we hate the BBC so much that we`ve got to do it, so we can make our own entertainment out of their knicker pickings.

    Why doesn’t this well heeled actress have a go at her own country, the USA – a vast continent .
    Russia, also a vast continent should open its doors to the people from its own long term ally – Syria .

    Britain is full, it cannot cope with its own people . Its very easy for the list of actors pop stars and moviestars to pontificate but they don’t have to live with the ‘invaders’.
