THE DEBATE THAT NEVER WAS….

The plan was simple. Just four days before the EU Referendum, the BBC would provide a special BBC Question Time forum for David Cameron to proclaim that a surging Remain campaign will win. Boy did it go wrong! Did you see it – a car crash! I must be fair and say that for once David Dimbleby was fair – but the audience did not do as they were told and they savaged a hesitant and then evasive Cameron, who ended up comparing himself to Churchill!!! Today, the BBC has buried the Cameron performance, just as it has gone quiet on  Jeremy Corbyn telling us there must be NO LIMIT on immigration on the Marr Show yesterday.

    Pity it did not go on for longer because Cameron was definitely rattled and looked seriously as he was about to lose his ‘rag’ at one stage.

      He was absolutely raging! I wouldn’t be surprised if he instantly authorised a few more assassinations after the show! How dare the vile, disgusting animals/cannon fodder question him about his lies and deceit!! His devious plans have taken years to put together!! You should all be ashamed! ?

    You ain’t no Churchill bruv!

    You are exactly what the audience member called you. A 21st century Chamberlain returning from Europe with a sheet of white paper and a brown nose.

    With that dire performance by Cameron, the Leave campaign starts the final week off with a boost.

      I would also add that comparisons of Cameron to Chamberlain are unfair on the latter. Chamberlain was a witness to the horrors of WW1 and was desperate not to see it again so tried as honourably as he could to keep the peace. Eventually, however, he knew he couldn’t hold the peace together any longer and declared war. Cameron however has no line at which he would shout enough is enough and fight back against the encroachment of the 4th Reich.
      Chamberlain also knew that the British armed forces were not strong enough to withstand the might of the Germans, who had tested their weapons and tactics in Spain, so war in 1938 would have been suicide. This gave the UK time to renew their efforts to build up their forces which they did. In 1940 when the fighting really got going, we still only had enough to just about withstand the German blitzkrieg after losing much of our forces in Norway and France. Effectively Chamberlain’s dithering was a fundemental part of our winning the war, or at least not losing.

      Churchill? Any chance this Churchill

      “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.”
      “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science – the science against which it had vainly struggled – the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

          Winston Churchill was well aware of the threat of Islam. But never could he have imagined that this generation of ignorant, historically illiterate and idiot politicians, would have allowed in millions of Muslims into Britain.

          It is worth recalling (hat tip Daniel Pipes) that Winston Churchill on p. 50 of From War to War, the first part of the first volume of his 6-part Second World War, proclaimed Hitler’s Mein Kampf to be,

          “…the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.”

    Exactly, DV, exactly – well put. This is the inherent BBC bias at work: minimise this, hide that, bury the other. All on the QT. This is the obvious and inherent bias which people like “Edward” seem so happy to ignore in their blithe ignorance, as soon as they notice one relatively fair performance by someone like David Dimbleby 🙄

      Corbyn said there CAN be no limit on EU immigration.

      Explaining that the austerity resulting from policies having to be followed by being in the Euro is creating massive youth unemployment in some countries, who will naturally look to “get on their bike” to look for work.

      Attended a Michael Gove Q & A session this morning.

      First “question” was a speech about xenophobia and Hitler. After MG had politely and quietly answered, the questioner said I have been in W,. Yorkshire this weekend and they think you caused the death of Jo Cox.

        Woke up this morning to the 8am Today News on Radio 4.
        1. Warsi changes sides to Remain_eh?….who knew?…but that didn`t stop the BBC putting this never-elected schmoozer of Camerons as top story.
        Meanwhile-Guthrie(former Army Top Brass) tells us he wad duped into signing some Cameron crap about the benefits of the EU for his Army-so an ex-Remainiac-but now he knows about plans for the coming European Army, then he wants to leave.
        But that`s not as newsworthy-I mean unelected Muslim Tory shill or ex NATO General?…who would YOU lead with?
        It`s the BBC remember!
        Next up-and no comedy or even an arch tone in those honeyed voices of theirs in the “newsroom”( which is more like the Gleiwitz Tower by the day)-why…the ENGLISH Premier league want us to stay in Europe…no, don`t ask why-you`re a thick lazy sports jock, so just bite and believe like they do, you thick git).
        Tomorrow-what do Bucks Fizz, Graham Norton, Gemini and Johnny Logan think?…let`s do a survey of THEM shall we?
        Next-abuse of Farage and “his poster”-came out last Thursday…but that allows the twitters, trends, hate and threats to him to build.
        A real photo of real people?..but that`s Der Sturmer apparently…only hope Nigel will show us Cologne on New Years Eve to show us what it`ll REALLY be like after the EU have filleted what remains of this country.
        If we stay in…which, please God; we won`t.
        Disgusting, serial lies and slurry for this last week-just as well, we`ve made up our minds…
        OH-and didn`t Corbyn tell Andrew Marr that (like Blunkett before him)-that there is no upper limit on immigration?
        Funny that-flagship BBC politics exclusive with the Sainted Jez…but,for some reason-this “exclusive” fails to make it to the news bulletins sine die…why so BBC?
        Need we ask?…biased buggers…

          Not just these two, but Gordon Brown and Alan Johnson. The same two, PM and Home Secretary, who claim they knew nothing of the tens of thousands of systematic and brutal gang rapes of vulnerable girls by Muslims.

          If we were living in a decent society, and not a degraded one, this would be regarded as a war crime worthy of the most severe punishment.

  5. NoLiveTVinMyHouse says:

    DC was eager to offer up the picture, last night, that immigration was made up of two quite separate streams – EU and non-EU – and that we had more coming from outside the EU than from inside the EU. The inference to be made, I presume, was that our membership was less of a factor in immigration numbers and thus Brexit would have negligible effect on the numbers wanting to enter this country.

    I waited eagerly for a member of the audience pointing out that this was tantamount to the failures of his government to limit non-EU immigration in a situation over which they did have full control and why should we believe that limiting EU immigration – where we are obliged to follow the ‘rules’ set by others – is even remotely within his competencies. Sadly, this didn’t happen as they were too busy putting their own, many excellent, questions to the PM.

    He’s failed with the ‘easy’ stuff and want’s us to believe that he can do the ‘tricky’ stuff!!!

    Having said that, however, I do have to congratulate him on two things – one an achievement and, two a moment of classic golden comedy.

    His achievement, despite a 51% increase in EU-influx over the last five years, an 8% decrease in the numbers for that of non-EU migration over the same period. Well done there, that man – sort of – if the UK government hadn’t had to deal with increasing EU demands then, perhaps, just perhaps they could have substantially reduced rest-of-the-world figures.

    There’s an obvious possibility developing whereby our ‘European’ friends and partners can hand out EU-passports like sweeties – if they so desire – and then tearfully wave them ‘goodbye’ as they trot off to this country was, as far as I’m aware, not brought up. If I was in charge of a poor, EU-country of which there’s a glut of at the moment, and was faced with increased pressures on an already wrecked economy it would be insane of me not to find a solution for my own kith and kin. If that involves a type of quantative easing by printing more passports followed by the issuing of travel-warrants in the name of free movement, I’d be all for it.

    I’ll leave it to others to decide how much, if at all, the 8% reduction in non-Eu migration mentioned above could have been influenced by similar methods – I have no figures nor the understanding whether such figures are indeed attainable.

    The golden moment of comedy?

    For me, it was the last questioner a clean faced, earnest young unnamed man (let’s call him Jason for reasons that may become obvious later) whose question was “Surely the deal that you put on the table, Prime Minister, is just a starting point for us. It’s not black and white, it’s the …..”

    This allowed DC to strut his stuff and agree with the questioner that indeed he could bring his vast negotiating expertise to the table and give those pesky foreigners a bloody nose to get his demands.

    Cynics may argue that Jason was a plant. I’m not a cynic but I was reminded of an episode of Alan Partridge when he was interviewing a BBC TV boss where he received a phone-in call extolling the virtues of having Alan Partridge on TV. The caller, who had detailed knowledge of Peartrees Production – Alans company, was clearly a plant by the name initially called John who later became Jason and claimed to be a plumber.

    Link:(6 minutes and 30 seconds in)

    I think Armando Iannucci and Steve Coogan should be taking DC to court for copyright infringement.

      This is not to mock the lady and her family-just to point out that the liberal laft have probably decided already…”this death is playing well for us” being the latest comment from Remainiacs , no doubt.

      See-classy are the Left, as we`re finding now!
      The woman was stabbed just a few days before the vote itself-but still the Swedes chose not to fall for this lefty emotional crap, and keep the krone.

    The director of the Remain campaign has been accused of seeking to attack the Leave camp by “exploiting” the murder of Jo Cox.

    A recording of Will Straw coaching pro-EU campaigners in a conference call and referring to the MP’s brutal murder has sparked uproar on social media.

    Mr Straw, who says he was a close friend of Mrs Cox, says the Remain camp ought to criticise Brexit campaigners for “stirring division and resentment” in the wake of her death.

    The tape was posted online by right-wing blog Guido Fawkes under the headline: “Will Straw ordered Remain to attack Leave over Jo Cox death.”
