    So Heseltine gets the coveted post-8 am news slot on Today does he?
    Anybody else aware that the miasma of Toxteth 81 got himself on a Captain Cook tour in Hartlepool, only to decide there was “a report to be written”.
    Oh those poor working class chappies in their mufflers, their starving whippets and one winged pigeons…what then is to be done?
    Basically The Tees is being used by the BBC to promote the agenda of their former famous MP Lord Mandelson of Haw and the Wiltons…used to be Peter.
    This really is flagrant contrived shit-Heseltine has no links, no history up in the North East-the sad sod got a nose bleed north of Garstang, and the last thing the Moanin Minnies up there need(much as they`d like to think otherwise) is Heseltine with his pot plants and bonsais, after Marietta Higgs, Geoffrey Wyatt and Stuart Bell are said to still live in the undergrowth at North Tees Childrens Wing…well Bell is buried but you can`t be too sure,
    This was an excuse for more free puffery to stay in the EU, under a Teesside flag of convenience…hope the Hanging Monkeys up there know that they`re being taken for fools and put Heseltines Toxic Toxteth tea tree tinctures( Curria Majoria Labi earnum) back down the sad fops ear trumpet.
    Hearse for Hezza-Bay 666….
    Next up_Majors report into the EU being the only place where cricket is safe, Clarkes report into the consequences to the talking cures for clapped out quislings if we don`t all vote BBC in the referendum…just post your vote to John Craven, and let Chris Packham do the voting for you.
    Ask yourself-what would Ray Mallon or Rod Liddle do?…great men of Teeside as opposed to arboreum mausoleum types like Michael van Hoogstraten…an evil creep.
    The BBC is now just the NHS quack centre for those who don`t want to run up a BUPA bill for our leaving…perpetual therapy for the beautiful people we`ll surely be binning on the 23rd.

      One of your all time classics ! As a cricket fan, I like the EU being the only place where cricket is safe. And much else.

          You bet Taffman, and what’s more:

          Lord Mandelson is not allowed to criticise the European Union if he wants to keep hold of his £31,000-a-year pension as a former European Commissioner, The Daily Telegraph has learned.

          http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/4996440/Lord-Mandelson-must-remain-loyal-to-EU-to-guarantee-pension.html

          So £31k a year pension after a measly 4 years of very well-remunerated, expenses-no-object ‘work’. How long would it take some poor average-wage sucker in the private sector, who pays his taxes so that public sector fatcats like Mandelson with his £21k Patek Phillipe watch can continue to live life on the hog, to accumulate a pot big enough to pay that kind of pension?

          Thank God we have a public broadcaster which ruthlessly and fearlessly exposes this corruption!

          Oh, hang on….

            A rough rule of thumb, assuming the pension “inflates”, is to divide the annual pension by 0.035.

            That gives you the size of pot a private pension would have to achieve to buy an annuity paying the same amount.

            Roughly £900,000 in this case!

            The watch may, of course, have been purchased in the Eurocrats shopping mall. Not sure what level of VAT etc applies there.

    The BBC reports without comments or defending democracy that MPs will prevent Brexit should the people vote for it.
    ‘Stephen Kinnock, the Labour MP for Aberavon, said: “If the British people voted to leave the EU that’s one thing.
    “But can we really say that they voted for the devastation and destruction of the entire exporting sector of our economy? I don’t think you can necessarily say that there’s a democratic mandate for that.”’

    The lad just doesn’t get it. Some people in Parliament don’t get it.

    My overriding reason for wanting out of the EU, isn’t the rampant corruption, the ludicrous salaries and pensions, not even its staggering incompetence in reducing Europe to a wasteland of poverty, unemployment and turmoil. My reason for voting ‘out’ is the lack of democracy within the EU.

    So now young Stephen says that we are not even allowed to have any level of democracy with the EU poll. Outrageous.

      People like Kinnock do not believe in democracy. He is so stupid that he does not know that most of the UK’s exports are outside the EU and we shall still export to the EU because we have a deficit with them . He is either a fool or a liar or, most likely, both.

        So right Kinnock was always a little on the thick side that’s why he got a job as one of the Commissioners @ £ 100,000 a year plus-we in Britain along with the other 27 nations have been conned big time for the past 40 yrs, of course not all those 27 nations were part of the EU then, nevertheless those that control the EU, the Elitist Bankers who control the money have purposely continued a policy of over 50 yrs ago, to make sure that the nations that make up the Union are always in debt-austerity to be continued so that the 530 million peoples are subjugated and enslaved, with a particular design to destroy Britain, which is not really European. We the people of this nation have been and still are at war with those that control us-For me Freedom is what my fathers and forefathers fought for, gave their lives for and its what I shall continue to fight for-hope you will also.

    UNBELIEVABLE even for the BBC!
    Bangladesh home minister suggests Israel behind spate of killings

    It’s standard operating procedure in Muslim countries to accuse your opponent for being in league with the Israelis or even being Jewish. The opponent often makes the same accusation back. But there is no reason to report this, as if it might be true, as news.

    True the BBC gives itself a way-out. n the third paragraph there is a one sentence Israeli denial and in the 15th but at no point did the report or the analyst ask what possible interest Israel would have in killing secular bloggers and minorities in Bangla Desh. At no point did the reporter demand evidence or even confirmation.

    There is discussion of alleged contacts between an opposition politician and an Israeli government adviser but no evidence produced at all that the politician had anything directly or indirectly with the murders.

      Yes I remember when there were some shark attacks in Egypt some years ago, in the tourist resorts. Some Egyptian government minister said the sharks were being trained by Israeli intelligence to attack tourists and destroy the Egyptian economy.

      You couldn’t make it up!

      It appears a pathetic victim complex runs through Islam, infecting the minds of all it’s victims, infantilising them to the extent where nothing they do or think is their responsibility – but everything bad is always somebody else’s fault. The problem is that this fits the left right down to the ground, recognising and fomenting victims being the major method used to breed the hatred they thrive off.

      The left feeds off Islam, which feeds off of the left.

    How much longer shall we have to put with the Racist attitude of the BBC-Just look at the new Radio Times- on the front a drawing to commemorate the Queen’s 90th burthday, by a child whose name is Ayesha Mahmood-by the very name we assume it is Muslim- whose picture sits at the top of the page, and on page 3- yes you gussed it, Nadiya Hussain, the one who baked that most non-discript of all cakes for the Queen-why one might ask is there such a surge to enagage a people whose ideology is so alien to the majority Christian West, at least a majority for the moment. Almost unbelievable that London has a Muslim Mayor- allowing the Muslims a vote it was perhaps no wonder they produced over one million votes-all Muslims living in London were no doubt told they had to vote for Khan- If Britain votes to leave the EU, then let us ensure that those that follow the teachings of Islam are shown the door if they step on inch over the wrong side. Apart from losing our nation to the EU, we are in grave danger of losing it to such a despotic group that will destroy our way of life that has been ours for over 1000 years.

    “Shares in Sports Direct have fallen 45% in the past 12 months amid falling sales and a barrage of negative publicity.”

    That’ll be the barrage of negative publicity from the BBC then. The lefties at the state propaganda broadcaster really have it in for him don’t they. As far as they’re concerned, it’s almost mission accomplished.

    Funny though how they never mention that their beloved EU with all its worker’s rights can’t protect Sports Direct workers from such a nasty employer. I guess when they’ve destroyed Mike Ashley and his business they can feel smug that they’ve caused the redundancies of thousands of workers that the rest of us tax-payers will then have to support.

    Are people really stupid? Are we being brainwashed?

    Firstly, I am amazed that we are told about the number of (young) people who say they yearn for “the facts” regarding the referendum. Many of these “shtudents” are at school or (heaven forbid, Uni) and therefore surely have to do research for their own projects? And don’t they all walk round permanently glued to their smartphones which, we are told, brings the world to your fingertips? Well, get clicking…get searching…the facts are out there! At age 18+, you should not expect to be spoon-fed! You have a brain…use it!

    Secondly, the BbC and Remain are “demanding” that Brexit state what an independent UK would look like. Some leave campaigners say the opposite… that the remainers should tell us what it’s going to be like if we stay. The honest answer to both these questions is NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE! It’s all a question of weighing up the risks on both sides. In my opinion, it’s down to basics about control. If we leave, we shall regain control of our parliament, laws, borders and country. If we stay, there is a huge danger of yet more c**p being imposed on us – and I bet they are storing it all up right now for an onslaught on us after 23 June if we stay.

    The remainiacs vision is full of may, might, possible, could; nothing definitive. But the Brexiteers can truthfully say the UK Government will have more money to spend if we leave; you can argue the actual amount, net, gross and so on, but an amount there will definitely be, for sure. This is a referendum, not a general election. It has little to do with individual party political plans, aka manifestos, and the BbC should be castigated for pushing that theme.

    Am looking forward to tonight’s clash between DC and Nigel on ITV. I just hope Nigel keeps relatively calm because then he is at his best. DC will do his utmost to wind him up so, keep a cool head, Nigel, please. You have all the ammunition you need; use it wisely.

    On the other hand…if DC goes OTT with his scaremongering, then Nigel could say some things equally silly to demonstrate the ludicrous line remain are pushing. An independent UK could use the extra money to…paint all bus stops in Brighton pink or…

    ….think I’d better stop right there!!

    Onwards and upwards, comrades!!!

I’m beginning to think that this trudging around the Country engaging in debate after debate with a Q & A session afterwards, is nothing more than a ‘jolly’ for the numerous journalists and reporters to stay in nice hotels courtesy of the tax payer. He’s being asked the same questions by the same people I.e. Islam and Kuenssberg, etc; dear God this debacle could have taken place in a couple of venues throughout the past few weeks thus giving us a rest from the ‘supposed’ challenging by journalists, who all get together once the cameras are off quaffing wine.

        3. Even if we have to have mass riots in London (which we will) to force our politicians to start a Brexit then the Establishment will negotiate a very long drawn out EU exit over many decades.

    No it definitely has not, in fact since the weekend it has gone up 140 points, and that is with a strong Brexit poll. The cable (pound/dollar) has shown little movement since the beginning of the year!

    The FTSE has risen over the weekend also. Its price is at a similar level as it was at the turn of the year.

    I posted above about Stephen Kinnock’s determination to thwart the democratic will of the people should the UK vote Brexit. I added that the reason many of us are voting for Brexit is because of the lack of democracy in the EU, so its all a bit ironic.

    Many people kindly replied pointing out the Kinnocks were too thick to understand democracy.

    Though I do not rule out stupidity, The Times has a better explanation as to why the Kinnocks are so desperate to keep us all in the EU.

    Stephen’s dad, Neil, was earning £163K a year plus housing and entertainment budgets before stepping down with a final pay off of £273,000. Now he is paid a paltry £67K p.a. as a pension. Which is odd as Neil campaigned hard to get the UK out of the Common Market in 1975. Wonder what changed his mind?

    Stephen’s mummy, Glenys, was an MEP for 5 years and receives two lavish pensions from the EU, (yes 2! How on earth could she get by on only one generous pension?).

    Stephen worked as research assistant at the EU.

    Stephen’s Missus got by on an MEPs pay and expenses for four years.

    Both Stephen and his Missus were fortunate enough to have us pay for their studies at the College of Europe, an elite institute in Bruges.

    Stephen’s sister, Rachel, also worked in Brussels.

    So what we must understand is that there are always two sides to the Brexit debate. There are those of us who are LIVID at the huge sums of money stuffed into the pockets of nonentities for doing nothing and then on the other side there are the nonentities desperate to keep their hand in your pocket.

    If you haven’t already made up your mind re Brexit, I hope the above helps.

      Like the AIDS comments of Nigels last election-right on the money again and we the people back him.
      After trying to drag us into the Euro and trying to keep Abu Hamza…these liberal traitors really need to be put into dangerous spaces as they dare to molest groom and massage the public.
      Cologne is inevitable if we don`t vote NO…even if we do, we can`t be certain it won`t happen.

        So the Guardian accuses Farage of ‘age-old racist’ claim in linking migrants to sexual assault. So, by extension the lefties claim that there is NO link between the massive spike in rapes in Sweden with the sudden influx of thousands of muslim invaders? If it’s not some of the invaders (and not all are being accused) who are responsible then I assume it’s just some freak temporary climatic condition that’s turning Bjorn, Johan and Sven into violent rapists?

    Talk about “tiptoe through the tulips”?
    A whole half hour given over to Belgium and its catastrophic collapse into Islamic extremism within the last few years?
    Basically it appears that the Catholics are to blame to have been there before the Muslims-the Belgians are to blame for not providing the Persian carpet out long enough, pretty enough or with enough respect-and, of course the French are to blame for their colonial past and being rather close with a common border to Belgium.
    Tell you who`s NOT to blame-the wordy professors and researchers who get well-funded by Oxbridge, MSF and charity quangos of multi-culti fantasia based in Brussels, funded by Riyadh among other such places.
    AND-let me make this clear-absolutely NOTHING to do with Islam!!!
    No-blame the State and the civilians…but not the experts, politicos, social services media and -let me say it again…NOT Islam, not Muslims….no sirree!
    Desperate stuff-poor Ernie did try to lay an effete lace glove across the chops of the privileged social scientists around him and in Brussels…but to no effect…and here`s the conclusion that we baked earlier.
    More Islam, more funding for the tosspots and fig flounders via the EU and Regents Park please…

      There is also the little matter of his “faith” being wiped out in the very Holy Land where it all first started-and his seeming inaability to either talk or act over the systematic wiping out of his “flock” throughout the Islamic Middle East, which continues on the migrant boats to Italy-and then in the hostels of Germany and Holland.

          Its people like Welby who are one of the main reasons why people have left the C of E in droves and consider it completely irrelevant to their lives.

          Perhaps Welby does not realise that there is a difference between turning the other cheek and allowing your enemies into your house to rob you blind and sexually abuse your daughters.

          For the last decade or two most mainstream politicians have been completely hobbled by the MSM and especially the BBC when it came to discussing the effects to the indigenous population of large scale migration – too afraid to be seen as waycist. You would have thought the state religion with its regard to morals would have led on commentary and criticism regarding these affairs.

          Without the brave and relentless determination of politicians such as Farage (and lesser figures such as Tommy Robinson) none of these immigrant related abuse scandals would ever have been picked up at all. I suspect Welby is in complete denial about Rotherham , Cologne and Sweden he would much rather have broken bread with Jihadi John and maybe even have washed his feet.

          Welby secure in his Ivory minaret – sorry I mean tower obviously has more compassion to those who are indifferent (or even hate us) than he does for his own flock.

          I guess he is keen on getting browny points with his multi culti lefty mates. In doing so he has just made the C of E even more irrelevant to most of us than it was before. Basking in his own well of naivity, he will probably never learn how fickle his right on multi culti mates truly are until he wonders what that sharp pain in his back is.

          Well done Justin if your lucky Aunty may well award you with an honorary dish dash- youve earned it son.

          Sorry about the Church of England though – guess it was fun while it lasted. But I guess you never really believed all that religious stuff anyway. In fact I dont believe you really have belief in anything.

          Oh and by the way – you look dead good in your miter – Can I suggest you get a pink one then you can truly look like the stuffed pr#ck we all know you are!

    “If we needed a reminder of just how risky it is to remain in the EU, the European Court has today issued extraordinary judgments that undermine our ability to deal effectively with asylum.

    “We think that the public deserve the chance to hear these issues debated face-to-face between the Prime Minister and a spokesman for Vote Leave so they can judge for themselves which is the safer choice on 23 June. The Prime Minister was absolutely right to hold this vote and allow Ministers the chance to disagree with him. We hope that in the same spirit he will accept this invitation.”

    That’ll be the barrage of negative publicity from the BBC then. The lefties at the state propaganda broadcaster really have it in for him don’t they. As far as they’re concerned, it’s almost mission accomplished.

    Funny though how they never mention that their beloved EU with all its worker’s rights can’t protect Sports Direct workers from such a nasty employer. I guess when they’ve destroyed Mike Ashley and his business they can feel smug that they’ve caused the redundancies of thousands of workers that the rest of us tax-payers will then have to support.

    Why is he not having a ‘face to face’ with Nigel Farage to night ?. Suspicious very Suspicious?

      He’s not having a face to face debate with anyone throughout the whole referendum period.He is a coward no doubt. Farage would demolish him and he knows it.

            Yes, that is it. Why do the “sistas” go easy on muslims and also on FGM ? They are hypocrites.

    I don’t remember the BBC ever screaming at people to register to vote in quite the same strident way that they have been for the last 72 hours. In fact, I don’t recall them EVER mentioning it other than in passing at any other election or referendum. Obviously taking their ‘public service’ remit very seriously. It’s cropping up almost literally every twenty minutes on radio shows at the moment. I wonder what could POSSIBLY be the motivation for this sudden bout of conscientiousness?

      They are urging the kids and the ‘uni-kids’ to get out and vote ‘IN’.
      What the ‘uni-kids’ need to realise is there will be less jobs for them when GB is inundated with more and more gimmigrants .

          Again I inadvertently heard a bit of Evans bBC R2 breakfast show this morning.

          He wondered why voters had to register by today, when the referendum is still two weeks away. I presume he is just as thick as Jezza Whine and hasn’t realised this is standard practice for voter registration.

          Next he introduced Michael Moore and his latest propaganda bollix……….thankfully I managed to move from the vicinity of the radio by then.

          At least when Wogan did the breakfast show it was an escape from the leftie clungefest that pervades all other bBC programming. Little wonder I only listen to CDs these days.

          P.S. As an aside, I do not click on any of the bBC web links posted here as I don’t want to increase their ‘hits’.

        As a generalisation I’d say the current crop of British yoof are the least politically aware of any I remember, a constant diet of ‘celebrity’ banality on the screen and a lack lustre education system is taking it’s toll. I’m not claiming they are incapable of understanding the issues, they just haven’t been encouraged to do so, and time has run out to cover it in any depth.
        While I’m on my soapbox, are schools still teaching a basic grasp of UK urban geography? Some (obviously bright) young starters in the workplace seem to have a very poor grasp of whats North and South.

    Bojo/Gove’s challenge to debate the PM live is still not on the BBC’s website 🙄

    And it’s now many hours since it was made public.

    It’s not even on their EU Referendum Page

    Is this a new low, even for the Blatantly Biased Corp?

    BBC’s One Show are looking to recruit another host (shades of Homes Under the Hammer), but the applicants must only be from an ethically diverse background AND with a northern accent !!! You couldn’t make it up, – unless of course Dion Dublin can stretch himself to doubling up.

      “Not only that, discrimination is supposed to be against the law – although the BBC claims that it is merely exploiting a loophole. It defended its ethnic minority-only scriptwriting positions by saying: “These are not jobs but training and development opportunities permitted under the Equality Act.””

      A very simple test of whether it’s a job or training would be if the NUS would accept membership from these ‘interns’ or if they qualified for a student travel pass. I doubt they would. Bloody racist Broadcasting Cock-up.

    EU referendum: Farage and Welby in ‘racism’ row

    First of all, does anyone really believe that Farage hasn’t been set up prior to the debate tonight against Cameron. This is a typical Nasty Party tactic. Shame, although not a Tory myself, I know a number of good people who are Tory and Cameron and his acolytes besmirch the name of the Conservative Party. This is typical Cameron.

    Secondly, given that Farage has stated that he never said what was reported, in fact what was reported was actually what the reporter himself said in the context of his question, in particular the nuclear comment. Not Farage. No witness has stated that Farage said what the BBC allege.

    Farage said very little, one word answers, nothing contentious. At least it gives Cameron the opportunity to play the man and not the ball tonight. It would be a cheap shot from a cheap man.

    Using establishment figure unelected Welby to push an anti Farage agenda doesn’t surprise me. It would delight me no end if Welby could be exposed as the fraud he is. Maybe this set up will only come out after the referendum.

    So where does that place Welby in his bearing of ‘false witness’. To hell I would suggest.

    Well it`s off to Sports Direct tomorrow, as well as a watching brief for his marvellous Newcastle United soccer team.
    To see the Guardian and Channel 4 , Jon Snow having an attack of the vapours about his business model convinces me that he`s the guy…and the lefty wankers in his slipstream can try and grow just ONE tuck shop, one squidgee or Big Issue sale.
    Imagine Jon Snow in anything but Trevor MacDonald blackface musing over Proust or the famous Five?
    The man is an utter pilchard…
    As for that “Countdown to Registration” by the BBC and Channel 4-reminds me of China…these creeps will soon have us all on the same ringtone as they charge us a few quid for their charity appeals.
    Thankfully, I know nobody under 40 who`ll watch a load of millionaires and NUS floaters spouting off on the liberal media…and any public sector nellies won`t be contacting their kids to tell them-it`s end of exam time, and Glasto wellies and tents are next.
    I`ll watch Nigel for them…
