Nigel Farage has gone, laid down his arms, his fight over. For many his place in history is assured, for the BBC and its ilk he will not be allowed to rest in peace, like Thatcher he will be denounced and villified for decades to come. Perhaps he might like a little retirement job to keep his mind ticking over…..returning the BBC to the People and removing it from the clutches of the elite.
A lot of talk this morning about the patient who “lay dead” for up to four-and-a-half hours in the North Middlesex University Hospital A&E department.
Apparently, the emergency department is one of London’s “busiest” and there were “not enough doctors to meet demand”.
No discussion anywhere, as far as I can see, about why it is so busy. Clue: perhaps another way of describing a shortage of doctors is to say it has “too many patients”. But why would that be?
I’d also like to know why, apparently, it takes a doctor to identify a stiff. I would have thought that even a cleaner could hazard a reasonable guess. Lack of movement would be a good place to start.
Sounds to me like a department where nobody could organise a party in a brewery. In fact a brewery would probably be a safer place to be – for a multitude of reasons.
Disgraceful business, but it seems to keep happening. Where next?

BBC headline today reads, ‘Shares slide as Brexit fears take hold’. However, the most cursory glance at the price chart for the last 12 months shows the FTSE 100 at a level higher than almost all of the last year. This would explain why the FTSE 250 is suddenly in vogue. That measure is now back where it was 18 months ago so provides the bullshit scaremongering the BBC craves so desperately at the moment. £4Bn a year for this risible school magazine level of reporting (with apologies to the better school magazines out there).

And not forgetting Channel 4:
Jon Snow, the presenter of Channel 4 News, has been busy tweeting appeals “to get your MP to vote Brexit down.” Another tweet proposed a second referendum “to pull back from the brink”. Then he reported young people “in tears” saying to him: “What have these old people who voted LEAVE done to our lives?”
He could easily have answered that question with: ‘Protected your future by saving our democracy from total destruction’.
But as a member of the totalitarian Left, why should he….

BBC London tv news anti-Brexit head line for the day is a call from the Corporation of London that we have to stay in the ‘single market’
In fact it is a common misnomer to refer to EU economic policies – as EUphiliacs are wont to do – as being in any way ‘free’. The EU is and has always been a customs union. The precedent was the German Zollverein. (Historical Note : The foundation of the Zollverein was the first instance in history in which independent states had consummated a full economic union before the creation of a political federation or union. Inevitably that political union soon followed)
It must be a pleasant change for pretty girl Sonja Jessup to parrot the declarations and desires of the City when not so long ago her news outfit BBC London leant much weight to the protests of the Occupy movement, diametrically opposed to the evil bankers. How times change.
And change is not for the better apparently as the next head line is about muslims and ramadan – oh dear, it all went as pleasantly and peacefully as a rectory teaparty for about 10 seconds until a chap tells us unequivically that ‘Xenophobia’ has increased, donchaknow.

Well, it is time for two sequels, “The Britain hating class.” and “The Britain hating broadcaster.”
The class being those who write for the Guardian extolling the virtues of Remain and the EU, and those who comment to support the opinion pieces.
The broadcaster being the impartial, trusted, BBC, with its equally malevolent articles.
I have never read so much consistently virulent hatred, and consistent nonsense.
Other titles for the new Mail exposes, might be “The people who hate being white” or “The people who hate democracy”.
Everything I read confirms that the decision to leave the EU is correct.

BBC REPLY TO MY COMPLAINT ABOUT VICTORIA PROGRAMME ON ORLANDO – OBFUSCATING THE MOTIVE
Dear Mr…………
Reference CAS-3874086-R22TT4
Thanks for contacting us regarding the BBC Two programme ‘Victoria Derbyshire’ broadcast on 13 June 2016.
I understand you believe the programme inappropriately focused on the availability of guns as being a motive of the attack in Orlando, rather than fundamental Islamic ideology.
Thanks for raising this with us. I’ve watched the programme and Victoria opens the programme by saying:
“The gunman had swore allegiance to Islamic State. The FBI interviewed him 3 times as a possible terror suspect but took no action.”
The report also showed a clip of the FBI responding to concerns about the outcome of their prior investigations into the gunman before he carried out the attacks.
As Victoria opens the report, she reports again that the FBI said that the man who carried out the shootings had been investigated 3 times for possible terrorism links. She added that the gunman phoned emergency services to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State group before killing 50 people in the gay nightclub. She further reported that the US President Obama called the attacks “an act of terror and hate.”
Gun crime is currently a big talking point in the US with many sharing different views. In relation to this case, many have raised questions and concerns about gun ownership and in this context, that they were bought legally, then this formed as part of this report. It also looked into his emotional state which was described as unstable by the gunman’s wife. There were plenty of areas to cover and the programme aimed to present these to the viewer in a comprehensive and informative manner. The programme further reported on the response by Muslims who condoned the attack, in the wake of the claims about the motivations of the shooter.
It was further stated by Laura Bicker, reporting from Orlando, that the gunman pledged allegiance to Islamic State, after Victoria directly asked her what was known about the man’s links to Islamic State. Laura went on to explain that Islamic State claimed that one of their fighters carried out the atrocity and that he was investigated for terror links.
The report focused on different areas and spoke to many different contributors to share their views however there was a large focus on the attacks being terror related through influences of Islamic State.
That being said, we do value your feedback about this in that you may continue to hold a different view. All complaints are sent to senior management and programme teams every morning and I included your points in this overnight report.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind regards
Philip Young
BBC Complaints Team
http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints
Full Complaint:
Such a shame and immensely confusing Victoria programme this morning not properly addressing such serious terrorism, inasmuch as not letting us know clearly what the motive was for such an atrocity and why the BBC feels it needs to obfuscate that reason.
Your programme confusingly indicated it was more about availability of guns rather than what most of us suspect the cause was more about fundamental Islam. How can we tackle such horrendous atrocities if we are not understanding the reasons they are conducted and we will never understand if you are authoritatively obfuscating the real reason due to what can only be your corporations political ethos it seems. Why else are you not facing up to the reality.
I am an ex-soldier of 25 years who has been on the front-line of results and consequences of erroneous political decisions and fully realise what one must do to save lives and that is tackle the base problem. It is absolutely amazing that your programme steered away from facing up to the basic reason for the atrocity which most other news like RT, SKY and the US networks, blogs I frequent are all reporting. The main reason is not about availability of guns, albeit that helped facilitate, but about fundamental Islamic ideology inspired deliberate murder. So disappointing we are being led, sleep walking, into further disasters if we are not given authoritative Government broadcasting facts to enable the powers that be to be backed up by us to face up to the problems in an open democratic way. Most disappointed viewer

The judiciaries and other branches of government., both sides of the water, are owned by the left and particularly by sleazeballs like the Clintons and Blairs.

Following further details of Mrs. May’s fireside chats with Richard Branson, on the possibility of a referendum re-run, I wonder if those accidental Ken Clarke/Malcolm Rifkind revelations actually included:

On Breitbart today there is a report that Lord Puttnam and Justine Webb of the BBC , and much loved on this site, are calling for Ofcom to modify the impartiality laws on broadcasters during political campaigns. The justification for this is that they believe that the BBC had to place equal weight on the myriad of lies told by the Leave side to the facts told by Remain. They claim that this left the public deeply ignorant of the issues and some of these ignorant fools voted for the wrong side.
I noted this campaign being raised on last week’s Media Show on Radio 4. It is a very serious threat to democracy and shows the lengths these embittered Remainers will go to to get their way on this and many other issues. Of course anyone who voted Remain must place a very low price on democracy and so we ought not to be surprised when they attempt to overthrow it with such contempt.
Remainers hate the fact that the subservient poor , who have been quiet during the long domination of the Liberal Left establishment since BLIAR was first elected in 97, have begun to question if Blairism , caring conservatism as practised by Cameron, the BBC , luvvies and the rest, really did have their best interests at heart. Of course they didn’t and don’t. The average Labour MP for working class areas cares much more about so called refugees, Muslims and all sorts of other ‘ oppressed minorities’, than they do for the white working class Brits who actually elect them.
One thing is clear , if the BBC is freed from its obligation to impartiality , admittedly more observed in the breach than the practise, then it must surely lose its right to state funding. I would fully support such a move and once it is self funding the BBC can say and do whatever it likes. I for one will not be subscribing to its anti British muck.

I agree that the BBC should not be impartial, on condition that it is funded in the same way as all other broadcasters and the state enforced “TV licence” is brought to an end.

A spokesman for Andrea Leadsom said: “It is both surprising and disappointing that The Times based a significant part of a Leading Article on a single, uncorroborated, letter without giving Mrs Leadsom the opportunity to respond to the allegations made in that letter.

As I suspected earlier, it was a hit piece by The Times – no doubt intending to do in her chances with the Conservative Party membership, in an attempt to make the unpalatable Gove seem more attractive to MPs in the next round of voting.

This was not someone who I thought would be able to ‘handbag’ EU leaders re Brexit. Could leave me with May; and I really really do not want May. May can often seem flustered when being BBC interviewed, she is pro Sharia law and she wants free movement of people to be acceptable once we leave. Where should my vote go?

What a dilemma Deborah.
I guess the answer lies in whether you believe the Conservative party in its current form will act on the referendum result…in which case vote for who you think will best be able to lead the party to the goal of Brexit and national sovereignty…..without trying to water it down with kowtowing to Brussels, Berlin and Strasbourg generated laws.
Or alternatively, if you believe that the Conservative and Labour parties are actually finished, and need replacing with a new party, committed to Brexit, drawn from all parties and none. In which case vote for the candidate who will do most harm to the Conservative party.
Bearing in mind that as people realise that the politicians are trying to “politic” their way out of invoking article 50 and voters begin to vote in general elections accordingly….or worst option..the lid begins to blow….any politician getting in the way of the will of the people on national sovereignty is unlikely to retain their seat.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but the BBC seem to be particularly quiet about this shocking story and the possible reasons behind such a spike in revolting sex crimes across Europe:
http://news.sky.com/story/1722369/mumford-boycott-festival-after-sex-attacks
Apparently authorities across Europe are covering up such crimes but the Left, as usual, just cry racist and bigot to all those who are concerned by such appalling crimes.

The BBC have reported it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36722192. But they left out a few important details (as you would expect). They are also suggesting that it’s not unusual at music festivals, pointing to an isolated incident at Glastonbury in 2015. Welcome to the the new normal.

Although it’s been some time since my festival days mass sex attacks were never a feature in my days. Being hit by a container of urine intended for a band and going off trajectory was probably the biggest danger.

Remember back in the cut and thrust of referendum campaigning. Remember St. Geldoff being obnoxious on the Thames? Remember I complained to the BBc that unlike the internet they somehow managed to not report on his behaviour? It seems a long time ago now. but I have what you could call a reply. Nice to see the BBc complaints section revert to it’s template reply I already have a collection of this particular resonse template.

Thank you for contacting us regarding BBC News at Six, as broadcast on 15 June.
We apologise for the delay in replying. We realise that our correspondents appreciate a quick response and we’re sorry that you had to wait on this occasion.
I appreciate that you feel the report on Bob Geldof and Nigel Farage meeting on boats on the Thames should have gone into greater detail about Bob Geldof’s behaviour.
I’ve reviewed the bulletin on your behalf and the report from the boats on the Thames was a relatively brief part of the programme. We did report that supporters of both the Remain and Leave campaigns, as well as Nigel Farage and Bob Geldof, took part in the event but I do appreciate that you feel the behaviour of Bob Geldof should have been mentioned in more detail.
We know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, and the prominence that we give to them. These are subjective decisions made by our news editors, and we accept that not everyone will think that we are correct on each occasion. These decisions are always judgement calls rather than an exact science though and I do appreciate that you feel this story deserved more coverage.
I understand the concerns you raised and I have recorded your complaint on our audience feedback report. This report is sent to the news editors as well as senior management at the BBC so please be assured, your complaint has been sent to the relevant people.
Thanks again for contacting us.
Kind regards

Dave666 I’ve taken the liberty of translating your letter from the BBC.
“Dear Dave
I’m only replying to your complaint because the law says I must. How dare you criticise Sir Bob. When was the last time you did a Live Aid? Eh? You bigot. Rest assured that your complaint will be sent to the relevant people. Oh yes. Expect a knock at the door soon. Now run along you horrid oik. Go and play with your England flag or whatever else you ghastly people do.”

Stunningly correct. Long term readers on the blog will know I “bumped” into the Boomtown rats in a Berlin nightclub in1979, where I formed the opinion Geldoff is a c**t. I never watched live aid I never gave any money to live aid, the Government gives away enough on my behalf. I’m sure the security services are well aware of my existence. Finally I’m now flying the White Dragon flag of the ethnic English on my flagpole since the morning of (I hope) victory (in Europe),
I never expected a serious response from the BBc I never do It’s strange it takes this long for them to type in the blanks on the template.

“Others on the left will campaign to leave, including the Socialist Workers Party (SWP). ”

Believe me-she is the norm in liberal education, she `s their daughter, their product.
Remember the time when the country used to mock Jade Goody for being thick?
Hollie is the usefully thick, the thick that the Guardian and the SWP love.
And, let`s be kind-she`s not a bad kid by any means-but the very epitome of liberal self-indulgent brain massage disguised as education.

Like a lot of her generation, she goes along with the herd mentality, – good for a craic mid-afternoon and end up at the pub afterwards, ‘liking’ it for all their worth. She probably doesn’t even know what the SWP is all about. Funny how the communistic beliefs, dreadlocks, and goth fashion disappears when family life beckons – too many sleepless nights and exhaustion soon knocks the protesting fervour out of ’em !!

I imagine the BBC is supporting Portugal after Wales voted for Brexit. Whatever, not much of a game so far, just a tight, defensive affair with both sides passing back more than forwards – or at least it seems that way – and very little flair or imagination .
Hopefully a goal in the second half will liven the game up otherwise it will continue to be a dull drag to watch with the awful penalty decider after extra time.

1.5% of the Welsh population is Muslim and only 0.1% of Portugal is Muslim – Therefore the BBC will be supporting Wales.
There is also Swansea, the gay capital of Wales, which would be like a second home to BBC London staff. Therefore Wales wins 2-0 in the BBC league.

“1.5% of the Welsh population is Muslim”.
In that case they must all be in Cardiff. Whilst being dragged round the SooperDooper shopping centre by the wife (before being told to “Go and have a beer” – result), I decided to check my phone, awaiting her indoors to reappear from yet another shop.
About this time I noticed some “gentlemen” dressed in white skirts and beards taking notice.
Phone back in pocket and a “Paddington Bear” stare seemed to solve it – the clue is in the pseudonym, ref. rugby.

at least ITV manage to keep the coverage on the same channel. I know the bbc are not a shadow of their former self when it comes to sport (or anything else for that matter?) but continually swapping the same tennis feed across different channels seems a bit primitive, not to say annoying, especially when they are doing it for the benefit of the 6 o’clock news which anyone with half a brain knows is bullshit anyway.

Ann Leslie used to refer the New Labour culture as being akin to Stalin the Aromatherapist.
These days I don`t even think they`d put Uncle Joe at the front-the Stalinists seem to know nothing of him or his deeds…but Labour`s had a trickle down from those days, and it acts as an atomiser or a deodorant to them.
Like an imprint of a homeopathic virus or such…sheer spiritual, scent-sensed…and really nasty in that it has to be smelt and seen before you know of it…there is no logic, no reason to it-jus labels of abuse if you`re not on the team and you dare to comment.

Very undemocratic of the Labour Party (plus ca change) but at that time they were being infiltrated by the likes of that trot who agreed with virtually no Labour Party policy of that time. It was a deliberate attempt to take over the party to get the otherwise unelectable trots elected by the simple voters who don’t understand politics but will always vote for Labour.because “they’re for the working class and me dad always voted for them”.
Although it was completely undemocratic, the Labour Party had to do something to save itself from oblivion, or worse a neo-stalinist government who would have ended democracy for all of us.
Yes, the Labour Party is undemocratic but we knew that anyway.

Totally OT but I cannot find any mention in the media of an event that happened 11 years ago today. The bombings that took place on the transport system of London on the 7th July 2005 were the start of muslim attacks in the UK when the eyes of many were opened to the evil that lived amongst us. My husband realised later that he had traveled on the same train as the bombers . Thoughts with all the families who were affected by the events of that day.

I didn’t check to see if it was in the ‘people die as bus and train explodes’ style of analysis, followed eventually by coy mention of ‘men’ being involved.

Tony Harrison wrote a fine poem about how his Beeston area became the nest of vipers for 7/7…called Shrapnel..only wish I could find it for you…but it tries to give as Lefty a kindness to his rage at what`s happened to his old part of Leeds.

Because, if it’s not on YouTube, it doesn’t happen.
I don’t have a clue what actually happened, very few do at this stage. Apparently, the cops were wearing cameras which fell off during the struggle. A bit useless then.
The Express says “Court records show Sterling had several criminal convictions since the mid-1990s, for battery, resisting arrest, burglary and other crimes. He was a registered sex offender after spending close to four years in prison for felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.” Not very nice but it does not, of course, mean that he tried to shoot the cops. Similarly, the usual smiley photograph being bandied about does not mean that he was innocent.
As usual, hysteria is being whipped up and the facts, if and when they become known, will be ignored.

British man who has been arrested for trying to shoot Donald Trump appears in court.
BBC is very sympathetic.
The question to ask is who and what radicalised him?
Perhaps the court might ask how much exposure he has had to to BBC/Guardian attacks on Trump as a racist, sexist, Islamophobe? There has been no let up, with BBC hate preaching filtering down to the deranged psychotic hate of the far left.
Perhaps evidence of prolonged exposure to the likes of Dimbeltrotsy and the far left radical Islamophiles of Radio 4 might be relevant to the trial. Steps might be taken to prevent entry to the US from other vulnerable young men so influenced by these hate filled sources

One of the regular claims of the UK left is how the Communists, Labour Party, TUC and assorted socialists rallied to support Jews in Cable Street against Moseley’s Blackshirts,
In recent years the left have been rather silent in the presence of anti Jewish hatred from Islamists. You never see the Antifa or Cameron’s UAF protesting against Hezbollah demonstrtions in the UK.
On Sunday supporters of terrorist Hezbollah marched in London to spew out their hatred, but had a surprise.
They were met by larger counter demo of Israeli supporters.
So shove that in the history books of the left, socialists and TUC.

Why don`t the BBC f off?
To hear Ed Stourton doing his best Geoffrey Howe impression as he gums and slobbers aimlessly all over Andrea Leadsom turnups was typical BBC slurry.
Stourton is an unctuous creeping Jesus in his wifes cassock more often than not-a Patten Catholic, who`s rather keen on Pope Frankie and his Swiss Guardians.
You can say nearly anything to Posh Ed of Popetown.
But if you`re consistent and serious about baling out on the Vaticans Solidarity Fun…as Andrea is…then Ed will have been in the mind gym since 10am, pumping possum and having the researcher use her strongest possible highlighter pen to “Get Andrea Leadsom”.
So we get her tax affairs, her CV, gay marriage, no time for a novice-which , given Eds love for Sound Of Music crap is ironic.
How the HELL (oooh, scary, Ed…banned since 1999!) does he get off on hounding a woman who only wants to lead the Tories-and then us out of Europe as agreed?
And hopefullt, Andrea will remember to check all BBC hacks CVs, tax affairs and salaries-as well as closeness to Savile-when next she`s asked such crap from the Popes poltroons and pissoirs who work their worst at the BBC.
Still though-at least it wasn`t Feargal Bloody Keane and his best mournful, sad sad sad voices.
Whenever I hear him gargling next door-you know it`s going to be sad migrants in Brexit danger.
The BBC are cipher pythons…fangs for nothing-now f off!
