Sarah Brett on 5Live talking about the NHS (31 mins)…her personal experience:
‘I know that it is incredibly frustrating when a family member is in hospital, particularly over a weekend when you think nothing is being done until Monday morning starts again…it happened to me very recently…’
Better have a 7 day service then….let’s talk about it…..or we could talk about BBC bias….floor’s yours….
“Australian amateur rugby union player and scientist Michael Quinn has pleaded guilty to travelling to the US to have sexual conduct with a child.
Quinn, 33 and a player with the Melbourne Chargers believed he had made contact with child traffickers in LA who would give him access to a six-year-old boy.”
“US officials said his rugby team had had no knowledge of his activities.”
A rugby player huh?
And what kind of rugby team does he play for?
” The Melbourne Chargers are Melbourne’s first #gay #rugby union team” (from their Twitter)
Why do the BBC choose to omit part of the story?
As Judge James Pickles once said: “They have twisted characters.”
Why is our ‘national broadcaster’ going out of its way to find stories that denigrate out country post EU vote. Here’s a good example from London News yesterday evening about The City and Frankfurt. It’s project fear 2.
“nowhere near as big as London at the moment” (07m:40s)
or is it project sour grapes? I am all in favour of freedom of the press within reasonable limits but someone needs have a word in someone else s ear and put a muzzle on the rabid dog the bbc has become.
Very true, the whole tone of BBC reporting about Brexit is to generate uncertainty and to ask what’s best for our European partners and how best we access the single market, and then there’s the “confusion” over “what model we want to follow”, Norway, Canada, Albania are cited.
Mays conversations with Merkel seem to have been reported in these terms….with the line ” oh how can Britain negotiate when we don’t know what we want?” predominant.
Can I help? What I think many of us want is broadly this…..
Not to be in the EU.
Not to have European courts overseeing our legal system.
Not to have open door immigration from any part of the world….but to have a points based system for English speaking people who have sponsoring employers.
Trading with European countries without political strings attached.
A new UK model relationship with the EU that takes account of the U.K.s unique position as one of Europes largest economies and its historic role as the last non totalitarian line of resistance to Nazi domination of the continent.
I think that covers most of it.
Brexit should be viewed by the BBC like the gay marriage legislation…..which they delighted in telling us was not a question of whether but of how to implement it….. and how best to steamroller the opposition into submission. What’s different is that Brexit has a popular mandate arising from a very specific referendum question.
There’s a case to be made for joining with Norway, Switzerland and Iceland to form a free trade area and offer the eu a free trade deal, without free movement being part of it.
As they, the eu, benefit from trading with us to the tune of £60-£80 billion yearly, should we charge them a fee to continue trading with us. We could always go somewhere else.
“There’s a case to be made for joining with Norway, Switzerland and Iceland to form a free trade area”
Reviving EFTA, effectively? It was all we needed in the first place.
Listen to Nick Robinson interviewing Pascal Lamy who is the former director-general of the World Trade Organisation on Today at 0810. it`s on the iplayer.
He makes it as clear as he can that he thinks that for the EU “free movement of people” (i.e. open door immigration to the UK for EU member state passport holders) is a non negotiable condition of access to the market, even though the “Brexit vote tells us that the Brits don`t want free movement”.
In a nutshell, according to Lamy, this is an ideological position. For the EU “negotiators” supra national interests outweigh the national interest of the UK (and other trading nations) on this issue. The imperialist EU government sees “free movement” as a condition of trade.
I hope our leaders are tough enough, they`re going to need to be to get the EU empire off our backs.
When is somebody (anybody), in the government or MSM, going to raise the issue of our territorial waters and the right of us and us alone to fish within them post Leave?
Very good question.
Farage has mentioned it many times.
Al,
The politicians could do it right now if they had the guts but they don’t have the ships to patrol the waters.
We are going to have to pretty much start by saying “Goodbye.” “We are going now.” ” ‘Bye.” “Bye, bye, bye!”
The EU is not really a trading bloc, it is an evolving political and economic union, hence the insistence on free movement of people. No other trading bloc makes a fetish of this, because they are not trying to set up a new state, just a trading arrangement.
We need access to the Single Market, just as they need access to our domestic market. But we do not want to be part of their political and economic union, of which the Single Market is an important part. The price of “access” cannot be unrestricted free movement of people. That is precisely what the British people voted to reject.
Funny thing is, Rob, that freedom of movement seems to be highly selective. It is different in different EU Member States.
EFTA still exists, and I agree, we should never have left. If the UK rejoins, it will be the 4th largest trading bloc in the world, more than big enough to set reasonable terms of trade with the EU.
I know I am being naive – But can someone please explain to me why we dont we just leave!
Were going now so f##k off. Oy Pierre! – We can have our fish back and you can take back your baguettes and chocolate sprinkles.
The lefties say that we are going to have an economic disaster if we leave, so surely, we may just as well get it all over with and re-calibrate our economy minus all the EU bells, whistles, and overregulation
To me it is obvious that the the EU will do their level best to shaft us anyway, because if not it sends the “wrong” message to other countries who may be having doubts about membership.
The longer we stay in the longer we will get tied up in the gordian knot of EU politics. Bear in mind we will be dealing with arch bureaucrats who have turned the art of bullshit into a honed science. Leaving it much more likely we will end up with a Euro fudge which only suits the likes of Claude (make mine an absinthe) Junker.
I am afraid May makes the right noises but seems to possess all the urgency of a slug on diazopan.
I know I am being thick on this but the longer this goes on – the more the alarm bells are ringing. All this Cameronesque bollocks about getting the “best deal for Britain” is just that bollocks!
It seems to me that all this “negotiation” just a further opportunity to fudge what is essentially a black or white decision. But I guess that maybe that is what it is all about.
I have come to the conclusion that I don’t really want an “Australian style points based immigration programme”. I would rather that, for period of some years, we had no immigration at all. I would accept a work permit system, whereby foreign workers could be employed as necessary, if they really were needed, and then return to their own countries. No bringing families though, I don’t want schools where thirty languages are spoken and hospitals treating their grandparents.
Britain is not a new frontier. It is a mature, settled society in an ancient land, and it is densely populated as it is. Land, water and other natural resources are not infinite. What do we “Need” immigrants for really? Is it to add a few points to GDP, a totally arbitrary measure of the value of goods and services produced by an economy, with no reference to the social and environmental costs?
I can see that countries which want to expand into vast undeveloped areas might need the population boost given by immigration. Britain is not such a country. We don’t need immigration on any appreciable measure.
Great post RiC.
All this cr@p about how we need immigrants because of our falling birth rate: Japan has a lower birth rate than we do but their solution is not (and never will be) to import millions of foreigners to make up the difference.
They are a country populated by an islander race clever enough to seek and find solutions through new technology, and other methods, to solve the demographic problems their country faces.
We are also a clever, island race which should seek to emulate the Japanese in our approach to a population shortfall in our country; the use of immigration to solve it must become the very last resort.
BBC Online News:
“”Attack on Nice: My brother the jihadist Mohamed Merah””
“”Their Algerian-born mother and father, he says, “hated France and everything that embodies its diversity””
“”Mohamed unleashed a kind of madness on the housing estates,” he says. “I used to be a youth worker. In the old days they used to call the French ‘Gauls’ – now they call them ‘infidels'””
“”But many parents nurture a sense of grievance. As soon as their kids experience discrimination, they tell them they cannot succeed because they are Arab””
“”What does he make of the (Nice) attack? “They’re targeting civilians, and it’s only the beginning,” he says softly””
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36838216
So there we have a revealing soft soap interview by the BBC/Left. Islamic Terrorism all caused by discrimination and a deprived upbringing. No opposing view that many terrorists are highly educated and wealthy.
BBC /Left always looking for an excuse.
All tosh and irrelevant. The truck murderer was a Tunisian, who, if he couldn’t hack it in France could, literally, have gone home to his Arab homeland.
As can any other ethnic Arab, provided they speak the language and can fit in culturally.
Shouldn’t that be provided we let them build Mosques and Halah slaughter houses we can fit in culturally with them?
http://www.awesomeradio.com/
any ideas who`s funding this?
Probably part funded by the Home Office and/or ISIS.
There is a link on the bottom of that website for a Muslim only festival in 6 days time.
http://www.livingislam.org.uk/
I quite like the marriage introduction section
http://www.livingislam.org.uk/marriage-introduction.html
“At this Living Islam family festival Barefoot Institute is offering you a chance to meet and explore potential marriage partner in a supervised, safe and Islamic environment. We highly recommend you take the opportunity of a lifetime to find someone you could share the rest of your life with. ”
So that’s integrating with the rest of the UK population well then?!? They are charging £20 “admin fee” to introduce you to your cousin!
On the online form to fill out are tick boxes to describe yourself such as: Extrovert, Introvert,Expressive, Impulsive. Is it just me, but if you scan read that list quickly you can see the word ‘Explosive’?
Tabs, quite correct in that what we are seeing throughout the West is “reverse assimilation”; as the indigenous majority populations alter their behaviour, laws and cultures to accomodate the ever increasing Muslim minorities (coupled with the commensurate increase in their demands) of the countries from which it is comprised.
yes, rather than report on jihadists, let’s post more Islamic propaganda, this time a supposed ‘anti-jihad activist’ “fighting Islamic radicalism on the French Riviera “
A stunning display of arrogance and bias this morning from the buffoon James Naughtie, who, on R4’s Today, was interviewing a leading US Republican about Donald Trump. No one objects to robust questioning but Naughtie was simply insulting about the man who is, despite the best efforts of the global ‘elite’, very likely to be the next US President.
Naughtie’s pointless questions (in the sense that they could elicit no useful answers – eg ‘is Trump an idiot?’) might have been acceptable had even a fragment of that approach also been applied to ‘His Blackness’, Saint Obama, or either Bill or Hilary Clinton, all three of whom have been given the fawning powder puff treatment by a succession of the BBC’s editorialising clowns.
This sort of thing has to stop. Still, looking on the bright side, perhaps if Trump does win, maybe he will make sure it does. And not before time.
Al beebus need to grasp: no one in the U.S. really cares a damn for what they have to say about Trump or anything else in their country; that is apart from the American equivalent of al beebus and their nest of Progressives.
Meanwhile in Turkey….Journalists, academics…..told not to leave the country, rounded up for questioning, sacked from their jobs….
Any worries BBC? any interviews asking if Erdogan is “serious”, or an “idiot”….any comment from the EU who are paying this guy to control the EUs eastern border…..
Course not.
embolden,
The failure of the coup is a tragedy for Turkey and the West. The best we can hope for now is an assasination of Erdogan. Of course the BBC are on his side. They always support brutal dictators.
I heard this disgraceful ‘interview’ by Jim Naughtie this morning on the car radio. What struck me immediately was that the BBC interviewer cared not one single jot about politics, policies or even a sensible discussion about Donald Trump’s candidacy. It was one long rant, raising only the personal bile spouted by his critics (i.e. his political opponents – including Jim Naughtie himself, whose personal views came across as clear as day), without a hint of balance whatsoever. The Trump representative was clearly taken aback by the odious tone and arrogance spouted by the shameless Naughtie, and several times just had to laugh at the infantile delusions of our ‘so-called’ flagship News provider employee.
But , of course, broadcast at around 8:45 this morning, you can imagine the impression of Trump created by Naughtie, who I am sure is really childishly pleased with himself, thinking he’s just done a great interview. Job done, Jimbo.
It also struck me that we will never, in a million years, hear a similar vitriolic BBC ‘interview’ with a Hillary Clinton representive, pushing the idea that lots of people (and there are lots of people) who regard her behaviour, in and out of office, as arrogant, self-centred, criminal, cowardly, and completely out of touch with the real world.
The BBC – bias about so many things shines through its pores. and especially towards any politician with views anywhere to the right of Fidel Castro/Chairman Mao/Pol Pot.
The bbc backed a loser at the last general election.
They backed the wrong horse at the EU referendum despite a despicable fear campaign which it would appear is still ongoing – trying to identify and embarrass people and regions which dared to oppose the bbc brainwashing.
They have gone out of their way to try and humiliate and vilify Donald Trump and promote Clinton.
It looks like they are going to be 3 for 3 to use American parlance.
I am not a particular admirer of Trump but it is worth the interest just to see the look on the bbc news presenters faces when they get it wrong yet again – that is a priceless commodity these days.
At least the squatters in the White House will get evicted after 8 years, and that can’t be a bad thing.
I heard the inept and hopelessly inadequate Sadiq Khan on the radio yesterday talking about the latest violent riots in London. If you didn’t know that this bloke was mayor of London you could easily think he was a rather irritating sixth form student. He mumbled something about these outrages as being “unacceptable” and assured us that he had “spoken to the commissioner.” Oh great! Well, that’s sorted then. He also told us that he’s flogging off Boris’s water cannons to fund entertainment for young people. Hmmm…
The BBC have been astonishingly reticent in informing us of the chanting from this mob, “black lives matter.” News seems to gradually filter out via the internet. It shouldn’t be like this. We should be able to trust our state broadcaster but we all know that we can’t!
Telling us that this was a “water fight” is just plain bloody deceitful. It makes it sound like a boisterous skirmish that got a little out of hand.
This was a mob of racists intent on violence. However, these aren’t the sort of racists the BBC are always so keen to highlight. Imagine a group of white “youths” behaving in similar fashion. The dear old Beeb would be all over the story and it would run for weeks. Blimey, I’m still having flashbacks about that black chap who got pushed off a train by a bunch of oiks. I’m sure we all remember it. It was on the news ad infinitum! Civil rights people were interviewed. We had comments from the great and the good and were told just what a tawdry bunch of bigots we working class whites are. I’m sure that this public self flagellation did us all the world of good and we all felt utterly despicable! Undoubtedly being shoved from a train was an unpleasant and frightening thing to happen to the poor fellow,. However, no policemen were stabbed, no innocent members of the public beaten up, robbed and taken away in an ambulance.
I know which “crime” I think is most newsworthy…
That’s an excellent post, Jeff. Yes, the BBC seems to have abandoned any self-restraint whatsoever during the past couple of years and is currently acting like it simply doesn’t give a damn who knows it is as biased in its own way as any Soviet era propaganda station.
Oh Jeff-saw the words “Sadiq Khan” and “flogging” as a scan read…and thought finally that his Muslim background would finally pay off.
A good flogging of this scum from Friday Prayers through to Sunday after Evensong…what better example of interfaith in action?
Reckon the Jesuits(with a bit of training, as of old) could lay a better mark, create the biggest swish -if compared to the Muslims…who have to stick a Koran up their armpit as I once read, to limit the action.
Come on Sadiq…on this one, we`d be happy for a bit of pure Islam.
Until I read the D/Mail’s double page spread on the rioting at Black Lives Matter, I had no idea that it was more than just a skirmish ! looting and violence with police in riot gear it seems, but not a word on the Beeb. Relatives in Yorkshire I spoke to didn’t even know it had occurred, and no doubt most of the country were unaware as well !
If that is the case, then the BBC will feel it has done its work well.
The BBC reminds me of Detective Frank Drebbin in one of the Naked Gun movies, attempting to keep the crowd moving as a firework factory explodes behind him:
“Nothing to see here folks, move along…”
Re GCooper and seismicboy.
Excellent comments-and this is worth a rerun.
Two worlds collide-Planet Beeb(viral) and a Texan who -so you`d think-might know a LITTLE more about his country that did wee Jim.
“Is he serious”..asks Jim of Jed Clampitt.
And the Texan laughs a hot dry laugh right into Jims florid, boozed up/sunburned face.
Grea t stuff…as I say it`s where the Old World of the BBC meets to New World of Brexit, Boris and Trump.
And-as our Texan Stetson said…both Madison Avenue and the Beltway are wringing their panties at all their assumed “power and influence” pouring down the plughole of their jacuzzis and hot tubs.
THAT is what Brexit did-what a joy to see the likes of Geert,Nigel and the like all quietly gathering like “The Birds” all over the liberal bush telegraphs from Cleveland and Brussesl.
Even Jon Snow has to trail along with minions like Inigo Gilmore to meet these New Tribuneers in Ohio now…and poor Nigel hopefully can blag the JD and Bushmills as the worlds new leaders and Trumps pals beat a path to his door from now own.
He`s our Lech Walesa.
Poor Jim eh?…reminded me of Paxman getting shafted by Ann Coulter…the BBC is going the way of the John Bullshit Printing Press and will soon become Class Wars organ of choice-because the rest of us won`t be paying, let alone listening.
Was it FIVE reporters that had in Nice last week-did ONE of them say anything, learn owt?
Nah-just bitching over each other to hog the gay cameraman.

feeling better now-got the summer holidays now to rest up and reflect on ole Wank!
Er-didn`t come out as I`d hoped there….
The Emir of London has things under control. Class War and Black Lives Matter respond to the BBC charge that Boris is a racist. Although police may have arrested a couple of Class War thugs they will never face the courts. Meanwhile, flushed with their apparent success, these people are planning another display of violence outside the home of the Foreign Secretary. We can predict that Khan’s cops will be restrained.
PS. Not the piece where the cop politely asks the demonstrater to hold her smoke flare a little higher.

“Hope not hate”.
It`s like the Jo Cox murder never happened.
She served her purpose at the time, now it’s gone down the memory hole.
I wonder what the response would be to a similar demonstration outside the house of the Chinese Foreign Secretary in Peking? Or the Russian Foreign Minister in Moscow? A little more “robust” style of policing perhaps?
I appreciate that the police have to tread carefully with Class War as their main purpose is to provoke the police into some sort of photogenic reaction. They are a small group and most of them, I would imagine, are under surveillance by MI5 anyway. I feel sorry for them in a way, as they are obviously deeply unhappy and hate-filled people, but what makes me angry is the way that people going about their lawful occasions, such as journalists, get told by the police to go home.
“I appreciate that the police have to tread carefully with Class War as their main purpose is to provoke the police into some sort of photogenic reaction. They are a small group and most of them, I would imagine, are under surveillance by MI5 anyway.”
When I were a lad….rumour among some left circles had it that Class War WERE Special Branch or MI5…..Agents provocateur to attract and keep an eye on any real Anarchists who might want to subvert the state.
I often wonder about some of the more prominent muslim agitators in these moden days!
The British security state has a long history of cunning, dating back to Henry the Eighth.
Why is it that the activist hoodies photographed are always pale and sickly youths with barely a hint of bum fluff on their chins ? Like younger versions of Corbyn. They are never Steve McQueen or Paul Newman lookalikes, funny that.
The pale and sickly ones naturally gravitate to Special Branch and MI5,
the Steve McQueen Paul Newman types go to MI6, GCHQ recruit the real weirdos.
But don`t tell anyone.
Like it !
The lucky guys who look like Steve McQueen or Paul Newman tend to attract women, and thus have no need to fill their lives with the awful futile horror of left wing politics.
Got to be honest.
The old hooligan and thug in me would just LOVE to deal with this lot.
Yes, greyer, thicker round the middle…but got the cunning, the contacts…and would happily bring in a few Russians from Marseille to provide up-to date training.
Class war?…Benny Hill says Crass war I expect-same enemy though.
These buggers live in squats, are on constant meds and wired on self-regard, hatred and only able to scare pinstriped businessmen or undercover police women.
Maybe we should go in undercover as BBC/Channel 4 types and then THEY can be blamed for the “unprovoked attacks on the foodback trading floor, the cancer drugs exchanges…the vulnerable and uneducated”…describing both the media AND the Leftiskum in the same way here.
Divide and Rule I say…the ALF, Hope Not Hate, Leftie groups and universitites..PETA, Plane Stupid and Greenpeace?
Might be able then to do it all for real when Luton or Dewsbury kick off within the next few years.
Islam will wipe out this lot…we would hope to recallibrate them in the hope of saving them.
After Cologne and Hyde Park-then seeing this-probably best to express ourselves creatively and physically, instead of popping packs or ulcer medication as we watch the BBCs “Waterfights” on the news, wondering if our kids are OK
The police and courts do take certain demonstrations seriously. A year inside for tying bacon to the door handle of a mosque.

Prison sentence for wasting a bit of good old Danish; but the Lithuanian lorry driver who ferried migrants across the channel and up the A1 where they were let out in a lorry park at Hatfield Herts, was arrested, and then ………. let go without charge !!!! (D/Mail today) – this is the Britain we now live in and I’m not proud.
I’m starting to think that to the BBC and much of the media, the Brexit vote was similar to the crowds that started booing Ceaucescu in 1989. The initial reaction was simple shock and disbelief, and then a relentless and increasingly brutal clampdown on dissent.
If the EU filth had the means they would do to us what the Soviet Union did to the Hungarians in 1956; when they tried to throw off the shackles of Communism and leave the Warsaw Pact.
Al Shubtill, somebody, can’t remember who, said much the same thing – that what the Russians did in ’56 with tanks and guns, the EU does today with propaganda and the witholding of money.
Funny you say that.
In a global culture…as opposed to the physical brutality of the Lefty Ceausescu…I thought our Texan who laughed at Naughties question “Is Trump serious” may prove to be something like that.
The bluff Texan laughed in Naughties face, as Jim frantically tried to explain his colonial cousins idiot line as somehow being more nuanced that it might have appreared to a thick Yank like himself.
But the damage was done.
The dam was breached, the shark jumped for the BBC in North America.
From Alastair Cooke to Jim Naughtie in a generation.
Hope Cleveland has an orchestra pit he can use for a ball pool until he gets a massage and a rubdown.
Old roving raving fool probably ought to have paid his own way to the USA…Bishop Brennan kicked squarely up the arse.
Hope we`ll have footage..until then here`s another classic of the genre, when a thick Anglo gets slotted by Trumps visionary Joan the Baptiste
An absolutely hilarious clip, Ann just owned poor old Paxo. I think he was used to interviewees being somewhat in awe of him, he simply could not handle being treated like a dimwit asking stupid questions.
I had seen Ann handing Evan Davis his arse some time back, but to be honest that was too easy; many earthworms have more native wit than Evan. However, seeing her take down the mighty Paxman has made my day.
She is class
Fantastic, thanks for posting.
BBC Online News:
“”Post-Brexit sterling slump costs Easyjet £40m, says boss””
“”Although passenger numbers have been rising – up to 20.2 million – extreme weather, air traffic control strikes and terrorist attacks have all contributed to the drop of almost 8% in “revenue per seat”, a key measure watched closely by investors””‘
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36853577
So, the report mentions Terrorism among other factors as a cause apart from Brexit. But the BBC’s headline states that Brexit alone caused the slump. Selective biased reporting.
And I’d never visit a Med resort now, thanks to the Religion of Peace. The value of the pound has nothing to do with it.
No the “Post-Brexit sterling slump costs Easyjet £40m, says boss” is about the £ fall only
However is it true ?
Cos last time I checked planes fly in both directions.
So whilst the £ reserves that Easy Jet have buys less oil, the €€s that the French, German and EU customers pay buys more oil than before.
The £ fell 10% so to have a £40m cost you must be talking a fig of £400m but that is not all sales but the difference between £ and € sales. So what Easyjet are claiming is that everyweek their £ ticket sales are £100m bigger than their € sales. “We fly more than 70 million passengers a year.” that’s 1.3m/week.
I have been watching BBC News Channel since 7 am. No mention of this

The man hired to have sex with children
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36843769
I thought it was going to be an article about a BBC presenter who had lots of dangly jewelry.
The BBC just love this sort of sex obsessed story. Anything about sex with children, gays, gender fluid is in, anything about sex in a normal heterosexual relationship is out.
Tabs,
Notice that the Beeboid’s only concern is the disease aspect. Apart from that is all seems ok. It’s cultural Africa, innit ? Can’t do any harm. Know what I mean ?
I have no brief for President Jammeh of Gambia, a lunatic, evil tyrant, but he has , this year, banned FGM and made it illegal for any girl under the age of 18 to get married. Won’t stop him from having sex with kids, allegedly !
Talking of FGM…
The first ever FGM figures show nearly 6,000 new cases in England
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36838870/the-first-ever-fgm-figures-show-nearly-6000-new-cases-in-england
“It’s very hard to prosecute because you’re asking a child to go into court and testify against their parents,” FGM campaigner Hibo Wadere explains.
Surely that can’t be right? It doesn’t matter who actually did the FGM it’s the parents who are responsible for their child. It’s not like the girl went to school and came back mutilated. The whole thing is organised by the parents and carried out at a time of their choosing. The physical evidence alone should be enough to prosecute the parents.
Soon many more, Tabs. The NHS are busily setting up clinics all around the country to deal with FGM. As a home grown problem, its good to see the good old NHS one step ahead of the game. What’s that you say? ‘Did I know that FGM is an import from mainly Africa so its not a home grown problem? Well blow me down: if that’s the case, how can we afford all these clinics dealing solely with medical problems created in Africa? Are the Africans paying for the clinics – ‘No you say’. So, let me get this right: the NHS are in deficit to the tune of 2.5 Billion and they are setting up a network of clinics to deal excursively with a medical problem that originated from Africa. Ah! that explains why I have to wait so long for my hip to be replaced. I’ll sleep more soundly tonight knowing that the NHS is managed well.
Its a Malawi regional traditional custom that the family bring a Hyena Man to initiate young pubescent girls ..very disturbing.
..One guy is HIV positive , but says he needs the work.
” the Paramount Chief Theresa Kachindamoto – a rare female figurehead in Malawi – has made the fight against the tradition a personal priority.”
The prog just finished at 11.30am Radio 4
..Strange our priorities for foreign aid is all about global warming and green gimmicks.
Instead of adverts for Water Aid, Child Poverty etc etc, they should start encouraging a birth control programme. I’ve always thought Prince Philip a bit of an unfunny plonker, but even he suggested this many years ago, when visiting the poorer countries of the world where kids were surviving in slum conditions. I think his comment was ‘haven’t they heard of birth control ?”. We live in a highly digital age, yet great swathes of the planet are so intellectually retardant, (including areas where we are harvesting doctors and nurses for our own NHS), where sex is the only thing they know !
The problem is that the destitute of the world believe the more children they have, the greater their chance of survival. Given traditionally high infant mortality and the lack of any kind of support for the elderly, you can see how that drives the cycle.
The irony is that the more charity that is dispensed, the lower infant mortality becomes and the greater the population pressure.
These are questions which the BBC avoids confronting with any seriousness, preferring to indulge in mawkish sentimentality and socialist colonialism.
That’s why the population of Ethiopia is now about four times bigger than it was when Bob Geldof was after our fokkin money in the 1980s. Next time, I hope we tell “Sir” Bob to fokk off instead.
In the Third World sexual intercourse is one of the few pleasurable activities that is available to those people on the bottom rung of the ladder there, ie the majority; the resultant pregnancies are of virtually no concern to them: particularly the males.
Brissles, I would prefer it was legislatively required that all ads for charities, including those you mention, had to state the CEO’s annual salary, same for the Trustees. Maybe then I might consider dipping my hand in my pocket.
The BBC darling David Attenborough agrees, but you don’t see it publicised very much
http://www.populationmatters.org/attenborough-talk/
He does get to mention it in his BBC programmes now and then
Plus, not even mentioned in the Paris climate talks
That’s what pisses me off, royally, about Greenpeace, The Green Party, and all the others!
The whole point of the EU project is to boost population levels in order to boost the economy. This is why economists are scratching their heads over the conundrum of how productivity levels are falling whilst the economy continues its upward trend – here in the UK anyway.
Of course, the idea that you can boost an economy by increasing its population is not some highly guarded secret when it comes to economics. But it seems to have become a highly guarded secret recently, something the BBC are complicit in!
Green Party member Caroline Lucas (SPIT!) joined the Remain campaign during the EU Referendum campaigning season. This is a woman who obviously turns a blind eye to local ecological disaster (UK air pollution and political green belt land grab to build more houses for more immigration swell) in the name of keeping the economy “healthy”.
Caroline Lucas is a hypocrite of the highest order and only joined the remain campaign because she gambled her side would win and promote her political presence.
She lost this round. But I bet she remains somewhere in power.
Edward. I’m glad to see someone take on the Greens. They have gone completely off the rails but few people ever try to point this out. Increased population means more habitat destruction, more pollution, more consumerism and all things that wreck the environment.
I don’t know if man made climate change is happening or not, but one thing I am damn sure of is that efforts to stop it will be meaningless as long as population continues to grow.
Greenies used to think this way before they were taken over by Social Justice Warriors.
By voting for the EU they have shown that they are passed their ‘use by’ date.
Grrr
‘it’s an awful job, but someone’s got to do it’. Bet he thinks that every day before he goes to ‘work’ . And besides, the young maidens love it! But he prefers the older ones.
On a serious note, this sort of thing makes my blood boil. It’s like the article I referred to on BBC1 news at ten the other night – a sort of how to do-it-yourself FGM. The BBC present these details as if they’re essential to know, important educational videos of how other cultures live – so we can get used to their barbaric, primitive practices before we ‘integrate’ them into our society. I don’t care, and I want them to keep them in their own countries.
On the other hand, we aren’t allowed to see Jimmy Saville on old recordings of TOTPs, or hear a Gary Glitter record on the radio.
Oh? No!
They’ve given the England footie managers job to Ed Balls!
That’s not going to end well . . .
Just found this on Guido’s site.
Members of a private Facebook group which organised £25 payments for people to vote for Corbyn used an unsubtle code to disguise what they were up to. Thousands of Corbynistas signed up to the secret “Gimme 25 page” yesterday, all asking for the exact same sum, £25, to pay their “internet data” and other necessities by the exact same deadline, 5pm. The fee to vote in the Labour leadership election was £25 and the deadline was, you guessed it, 5pm. Guido has spoken to one source who joined the group and submitted a request £25 to vote for Owen Smith. The administrators of the group did not approve his post. Labour successfully shut down one group doing similar but last night large numbers claimed to have successfully had their votes paid for via “Gimme 25”.
The tweets shown on his site are telling and it doesn’t need a degree in rocket science to work it out!
Where is the electoral commission in all of this – or have Momentum and Jezza banned them as well?
It’s surely fraudulent?
And how are all these 180,000 going to vetted? ….or not!!!
I am no fan of Libor at all but any government of any party needs an appropriate opposition for the good of the country; Jezza and co are certainly not doing that. One almost…..almost…feels sorry for the sensible adult Labour politicians who have been abandoned.
Does anybody else believe that the Labour Party has managed to get all these members?
Where`s the proof?…or are we in Occupy type of estimates of how many people marched, or Lefty claims for strikes numbers and attendance at Miners galas…police won`t argue with you.
Let`s see some evidence you lefties…and let`s see YOUR angle on spouting whatever figures Labour gives you BBC.
I`ve yet to meet one of these half million…Labour can`t even get anybody to put a leaflet through the doors anymore, so don`t believe them one bit.
Alistair Campbell type of figures, as blended through Lord Prescotts Y-fronts again?
Dunno ChrisH, I`m interested in how many are joint members of Toris 4 Corbyn 😉
still 25 quids 25 quid eh comrades?
Remember Toby Young got a walking stick in as a member last year…and a few branches and twiglets as well if I recall.
Golden Age of Comedy eh?
“Post-Brexit sterling slump costs Easyjet £40m, says boss” is the headline on the BBC news web page and the BBC radio news.
Ah, those Brexit voters are ruining everything … except when you read what Carolyn McCall, the boss of Easyjet, actually said. She says, passenger numbers have actually increased but ‘extreme weather, air traffic control strikes and terrorist attacks have all contributed to the drop of almost 8% in “revenue per seat”, a key measure watched closely by investors.’
An “extraordinary number of external events” were to blame, Ms McCall said, “from Sharm el-Sheikh, Paris, Brussels and most recently, Nice and Turkey”.
Ah, so the headline should read: Brexit not responsible for anything at all really.

what a bunch of arseholes the bBC really are.
I thought the Christians who escaped IS pogroms and genocide had gone North to Ankawa in Erbil.
Will the BBC mention this aspect of the refugees departure from Iraq and Syria?

Hollande will tell Theresa May he wants Brexit talks to begin soon
I think Hollande has got hold of the wrong end of le baton. People in the UK voted for Brexit because, among other things, they have had a belly-full of the EU telling us what to do. I hope our PM makes that clear.
Suppose the BBC continue to think that the likes of Obama, Hollande and Merkel will still be in place next year.
So we need to listen to them.
Hell-even when Hollande WAS elected-and was driven through Paris in a torrential downpour as the worlds angels pissed on his specs in derision-the bloke`s a joke.
Not funny since Charlie Hebdo mind.
So Kuennsberg -splutters all you like about “French Body Language”-Mrs May steps through the Merkel-Holland barnyard( Merde) and is already the only grown up serious politician among the pipsqueaks who`ve filleted their countries and their continent…yet the BBC pretend other.
Merkel can`t walk her own streets…Hollande can`t feed a pizza through his crash helmet as he shags around to no effect-yet the BBC ask us to take the Bosch-Frog EU mutation seriously as a future ally…opponent?
Hope Theresa is making overtures to those who`ll follow Mutti and Flanby…and sending Boris to play pitch and putt with President Trump-elect might be wise.

Does anyone else think that Owen “who is he?” Smith is a dead ringer for Francois Hollande? Both are deluded socialists too. If “who is he?” buys a motor scooter, Mrs Smith had better watch out.
Apparently Smith uses Viagra whereas the Frog President found that hopping on a scooter to a midnight bonk assignation was stimulus enough. Otherwise yes they are dead ringers and probably equally inept politically.
I thought that too RiC, when the ugly tw@t appeared on QT once.
Someone on here was asking about the permanent snow patches up in Scotland and were they still there from last year? I have been informed by the original reporter of such things, that yes, they are still there, have grown in size to be “mini glaciers” and that lying water is still frozen. That was last week.
It looks like Scotland could well have a frost or two next week too, so despite the warmth of this week in the South of G.B., the “mini glaciers” might well continue to expand.
I was also informed yesterday, that last week, 6 of 7 Earth continents had snow in this month of July. Now that really is news isn’t it Mr Roger (cut and paste) Harrabin? But don’t worry, Mr (cut and paste) Harrabin, your secret is safe with yourself concerning “Climate Change”.
Don’t start reporting facts for heaven’s sake! Someone like that towering intellect, Xavier, might get ‘triggered’.
Do you remember “The Ship of Fools” that got stuck in the Antarctic Ice that wasn’t supposed to be there because of Global Warming and had to get rescued after their ship got stuck in the “missing ice”? Well, you would think that so called “scientists” would have learned a lesson. But no. Off they have all gone to the Arctic, to again look for the ice that isn’t there, only to get stuck in the “missing ice”.
http://iceagenow.info/global-warming-expedition-stopped-tr…/
No, no. That can’t be true, since I’ve not heard it from Harrabin on the BBC! But, joking aside, this is quite delightful – another ship of fools stranded in Murmansk but ice that shouldn’t be there. Lovely.
The url is: http://iceagenow.info/global-warming-expedition-stopped-tracks-arctic-sea-ice/
My father did that trip to Murmansk twice, at the time being subjected to bomber, fighter and submarine attack.
The only things he would talk about were the incidents that had some sort of humour involved, I don’t think the experience was pleasant.
I hope our “warmist” friends are having the same amount of fulfilment.

BBc 13:00 Crebin launches his bid to stay as leader somewhat akin to a wet fart. His big idea equality in the work place. How will he do it? Get every company to print the pay and hours of every job. Yea right that’ll work ..Not. In my experience I’ve never really come across any “discrimination” or the gender “pay gap”
Abbot appears telling the party to tow the line.
Oh and the the story I thought should have been headline rather than Corebin. The attempted abduction of a serviceman http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-36853106 Any descriptions? No of course not.
Vitamin D shortage in some parts of the population. Think I’ve heard this one before last time it was aimed at certain sections of the population they have now wrapped it up as a generalisation.
Then BBc treat us to a vomit inducing “the first lady” and “funnyman “James corden singing bad songs badly.Pass me the sick bag.
Our Norman Smith is oddly out of form as he emerges from the Corbyn for Eternal Dear Leader launch today for BBC news.
Where’s the cartoonish joshing we all know and love? Where’s the sarcy political charicature? Is Norman really so out of form? Or is he a little wary of the CyberCorbyNuts perhaps? Frightened of getting a proverbial social democratic brick through the left liberal smugness window are we BBC? Perhaps a return to our Norman’s ‘cough cough but Labour say’.
I see Jon Sopel is back in London – that was a quick whistle stop US anti-Trump trip Jon. Whose turn next for the BBC airflight expenses forms?
I have noted that the Labour ‘moderates’ and the BBC are outraged and a little scared of the low level of verbal abuse that they are suffering from their erstwhile leftist colleagues. The amount of physical violence and intimidation is small. They didn’t protest at all when Tories or UKIP were exposed to much greater levels of social media abuse and to physical threat in the past. Nigel Farage has been on the receiving end of death threats for years. Where were the BBC then? Did we ever hear from them about how shocked they were that British politics was descending into the gutter? Just after the Tory part conference that prize idiot Zoe Williams of the Guardian and self appointed member of the , as she put it, Intellectual Left, said on the BBC , with no censure, that she thought it was OK for protesters outside the conference to spit at the delegates! It isn’t a big step to think its OK to spit at folks you don’t agree with to actually threatening them with physical harm. No doubt this leftist view that its OK to abuse those you don’t agree with is, in part at least, the reason why some Remainers are so abusive to those of us who voted leave. In effect the left and the BBC are condoning, if not promoting, the introduction of violence into British politics. No one should condone verbal or physical abuse. The ‘moderate’ left and the BBC are now finding out what it is like to be on the receiving end and , to quote a BBC phrase from the days when the BBC did represent the views of British people , ‘They don’t like it up em do they’.
I don’t see much condemnation from the BBC about the great unwashed “protesting” outside Boris Johnson’s home.
I had the misfortune to watch the video on here of the pound-shop Darth Mauls of Class War snarling abuse and hatred at anyone, well, anyone who wasn’t them, in Islington. If they had been carrying EDL banners and protesting outside the mayor’s house, I suspect they would have been shot dead by now.
they are nearly all failures in the normal use of the word. The BBc has a soft spot for such people, after all it is now a make work organisation for the over educated and nearly useless middle class.
ASI … see Jon Sopel is back in London – that was a quick whistle stop US anti-Trump trip Jon. Whose turn next for the BBC airflight expenses forms?
All these news readers pop up like Punch & Judy when an atrocity occurs – particularly the U.S. And old flustergob Adam Boulton is still stuttering his way around the States, (he needs more make-up cos he’s looking very flushed lately.)
Dave666 – re the vitamin D deficiency. I would have thought that wearing burquas, hijabs etc plus not being allowed outside the house might have had a bearing on it. Apparently not, as they haven’t mentioned it ……..
Do you know I think maybe perhaps that was mentioned last time this surfaced. I seem to recall now a story about rickets in the Asian community and that pale skin has evolved for northern latitudes. But maybe I just imagined it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1154211.stm
I’m surprised this story hasn’t been shredded
I’m surprised the BBC hasn’t asked Nadiya from the Bake Off for her opinion yet.
Ah, lop-sided Vitamin D tablets – mmmm, yummy!
LOL Lob! Only just seen this. Very sharp.
Give it time Rob, give it time.
And Jane Devonshire (Masterchef winner) still hasn’t been invited on the Breakfast sofa, or do a photoshoot for magazine covers, or been given the sort of publicity that the Ms Husein has benefitted from. Shame on you BBC ! where’s your sense of equality now eh ?
Someone really needs to complain about that series on the RNLI on BBC1. Last night there was not a dark face or a headscarf to be seen…everybody hideously white…they even had a lifeboatman revealing that he recites the Lord’s Prayer before he zips up the suicides under Beachy Head…plus a captain scattering ashes at sea while reciting from the Book of Common Prayer.
I was horrified! The only sign of vibrant enrichment was a Pole who crashed his speedboat and a yacht crew from Europe whose engine conked out. Clearly anti-EU bias!
Let us hope that the brave volunteers are not called to risk their lives for some bunch of migrants in a rubber boat trying to cross the channel in a force 10 gale. Or course if they are so called they will without hesitation answer the call.
Doublethinker – I might be tempted to go out myself if I had access to a harpoon.
Doublethinker, it sickens me that these brave men and women may, in future, have to sacrifice their lives to save economic migrants. There is no way the RNLI can distinguish between ‘genuine’ and ‘non-deserving’ cases at sea.
Brilliant series. The RNLI VOLOUNTEERS are true heroes and deserve a lot more respect from some of the clowns they rescue IMHO e.g. the Polish prat. It looked to me that (apart from the lifejacket issue) he’d bought a cheap runabout on ebay and decided that the sea is much the same as a river or lake in Poland.
Hello sunshine – playing in the surf in an overloaded runabout is not a good idea.
And he’s going to buy another boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to multiculti!!!!!
And just why are the RNLI and air ambulance not funded by the government ??
….Last night there was not a dark face or a headscarf to be seen…everybody hideously white…they even had a lifeboatman revealing that he recites the Lord’s Prayer before he zips up the suicides under Beachy Head…plus a captain scattering ashes at sea while reciting from the Book of Common Prayer. ……
Why is that I wonder ? Are Asians afraid of water (apart from migrating) ? Why don’t blacks apply to join the RNLI ? These are good points to raise when the argument of multi/c raises its head. The same with mountain rescue teams. E/minorities do tend to cherry pick the ‘bits of British life’ they want to be involved in, and clearly not those where a bit of danger is involved; ain’t daft are they.
And donating blood is not high on their list of priorities either….

Is anybody willing to bet against Comrade Corbyn improving on his 60 per cent of the vote in the forthcoming Labour leadership election? Before Conservatives gloat, it’s worth thinking about how unwary political parties can be infiltrated and taken over by those with incompatible views due to social media and Internet membership applications. Even the £25 fee and two day window to join will, I suspect, have proved no defence against Corbyn’s Trotskyist cult followers.
Any sensible political party must review it’s membership process , including vetting, from now onwards.
#Torys4Corbyn??????
Their vetting is cr@p.
I believe that if Corbyn wins it will be reported as because of fear of Brexit.
I also believe that if he loses it will be reported as because of fear of Brexit.
RAF Marham: Serviceman threatened with knife treated as abduction
So, let’s play Spot has lost his bone. Or, as I like to call it, let’s uncover for the truth.
Is it a ‘man’? – no
Is it a truck’?- no
Has Spot left his bone under the stairs? – no
Are the two suspects of Middle-Eastern appearance? – yes, so at least we are progressing.
Did they attempt to kidnap a British serviceman? – yes
Is it another Lee Rigby scenario? no, the police are treating just it as an ‘abduction attempt’
Are we being lied to by an eggshell-fearing police force and a pro-muslim media – yes, now you’re getting the picture.
Frank “don’t shoot, I’m a muslim” Gardner on Five Dead speculated that the two Pakistani looking men, armed with a knife, who tried to bundle an RAF serviceman out jogging into their vehicle, might only have been after his bank card. Yes, it could have been a botched ATM robbery, out in the middle of Norfolk, just outside an RAF base.
We should not jump to conclusions Frank, you are so right. After all, many joggers carry their wallets don’t they, and if you are thinking of mugging someone, a young fit serviceman is the ideal victim. It may well be that the death of Lee Rigby was just a “crash for cash” scam that went terribly wrong. It is not for us to say.
The BBC should pay me £145 for having to put up with this garbage.
How do BBC radio make people aware that Al-Gardner is in a wheelchair? When he’s on the telly there is always a wide angle or side shot (no pun intended) to let you know.
What on earth does he know about security ?
Nothing, but he’s a muslim and disabled so he’s got a job for life
I bet he’s good with push-bike locks.
Off topic, and I may be behind the times here, but have noticed that Sky News online don’t seem to have comments sections at the moment?? BBC haven’t got many either, but nothing new there.
When are we going to wake up and smell the coffee!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-36858806
First reported earlier in the day as ‘all suspects are Brazilian men’, and now mentioned that they had attempted to make contact with IS. Duhhhh!
When are our numpty politicians going to stand up to these ruthless bastards? I need a Paul Joseph Watson or Pat Condell video before I go nuts…
I suppose they are “Brazilian” in the same way that the ones here are “British”.
My point was, though, that while they could they made out that it might not be Islam-related. Maybe they were just crossing their fingers. And of course some of these folks are classed as French, Brazilian etc when they may have become citizens and were born elsewhere. The Nice murderer appeared to be spending quite a bit of time in Tunisia so clearly not that enamoured with France.
Nothing to do with the BBC but I think this is very good news:
‘We are not having this’: Villagers, ‘retired ladies’ and parish councillors form human chain to stop travellers pitching up on Essex playing field
Is it perhaps just possible that people are fed up and becoming bolder?
That’s feel good story of the year so far, unless you work for the BBC in which case it would be hate crime of the year. Now if only we could have the good parish councillors of Weeley looking after our national borders for a while…
Radio 4 PM is currently re-running the EU referendum.
Why?
The interviews seem to be an excuse to bash tbe conservatives and Cameron in particular . I have to say the people sound very stupid. A testimony to generations of labour misrule over the north east and our wonderful comprehensive education system.
Attempted abduction of a UK servoceman – knife attack – no mention of the M word. PC cops do not rule out terror but say there could be other motives.
That’s it. Cobra meeting, round up Jewish grannies and retired Beefeaters.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-36853106
Norfolk Police mention the suspects are of Middle East origin, and to be fair this does appear on the bBBC website.
But on the 6pm Al Beeb BBC1 news, this story was covered as the first item but strangely there was no description at all of the perpetrators.
I wonder why not?
Well, I don’t actually, I know exactly why not, as do us all….
If it’s buried in the depths of the website, I suppose they can claim that they have reported it.
“there was no description at all of the perpetrators.”
How the hell do they hope to catch them ?
There’s a thread on the arrse (army rumour service) site carrying a description.
Good site. Plenty of straight and informed opinions, and some very sharp humour.
Very different from BBC coverage!
Police and descriptions seem to be ‘evolving’, like BBC storylines…
http://newobserveronline.com/new-asylum-seeker-group-sex-attack/
Is ‘of Arab appearance’ the new ‘Middle East origin”?
Watch this space which, with the BBC, may suddenly go blank.
GW, I read an article like that and I know (having worked with Germans in their own country) that when the lion finally gets up there, as he will here too eventually, he really will tear the s**t out of absolutely any and every body who gets in his way.
… and the BBC, in the 6pm news R4 mentioning the possible similarity with Lee Rigby, “… who was run down and killed”
While strictly this is true, what an inexcusable way to put this horrible crime, almost as if he wasn’t hacked to death after being hit by a car driven by two Muslim assailants who then attempted to behead him. Silly me, obviously he was just run down in a run-of-the-mill car accident… if only he’d looked where he was going he would be alive today.
North West tonight in action again. Reporting on this story. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/police-manchester-airport-warn-passengers-11642485 They show a video of an elderly white couple being asked if they known what FGM is? Not very likely they know, which is proven a second or so later when thy declare they don’t know. Don’t really fit the profile to be involved either but hey this is north west tonight.
Yeah Dave, saw the report and just having a laugh about that with Mrs O – all the suspects they picked where the first people you’d choose were they not ? The BBC at its best.
Yes, an eldery white couple, an Orthodox Jewish couple, a Chinese couple…it seems FGM is more widespread than we think. Or it could be that PC madness is more widespread than we think. Yes, that could be it.
An organisation daily drivelling it’s way to oblivion. Does anyone take it seriously?

That is Andrew Bolt speaking on Sky News Down Under about the ABC and others who are vilifying Channel 9’s Sonia Kruger following her recent “stop muslim immigration” comments. Bolt could easily be talking about the BBC. Pity we don’t have a Bolt-type on mainstream tv over here. On second thoughts he wouldn’t last two minutes. Australia is going the same way as the UK. It’s just that we are further down the road to total liberal correctitude. Yet as Bolt concluded, there will be a backlash if people are not allowed to speak openly about that which concerns them.

Do appreciate this Mr G.
Clearly we now have a “One World” Global New Order who speak as one…from L.A via London and all the way down to Sydney.
“We Are The World” indeed being the song.
Really creepy in its way, but no surprise is it?
By showing it, we know it`s more than the BBC/Channel 4…and we`ll need to fight for the right to hear our views on public-funded media.
After Brexit-we`ll need to actively re-order these slimeballs, for their talk invites disaster c/o Islam.
You are most welcome chrisH. Two competing “world orders”. Islam and Globalization. And then there’s us. The uneducated, unwashed and unbearable (allegedly).
Here’s another excellent article from Gatestone. It’s join the dots time, and thank God more and more of us are doing just that.
“The global elites made another choice: they took the side against their own old and poor because those people did not want to vote for them any longer. The global elites also chose not to fight Islamism, because Muslims vote globally for the global elite. Muslims in Europe also offer a big “carrot” to the global elite: they vote collectively.”
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8489/france-the-coming-civil-war
The elites have always sided against their own people. Occasionally they have needed us and then could not flatter enough but nearly always they have hated us and that hatred is inspired by fear.
It is not just the old and poor but all those of us who by nature and education refused to acknowledge their right to rule and to the wealth of the nation. The old freemen of England.
The Brexit vote was not supposed to happen. I assume Cameron assured the elites that he had it under control. No doubt he will not be well rewarded for that.
And now they have Trump to contend with. Sopel tonight with that sneering arrogance these people have assured us that Trump is going nowhere and even if he is it is the poor dumb redneck trash that will vote for him.
That Australian commentator was right. The liberal globalist state will have to resort to tyranny now. it has no choices left.
It has failed and too many now understand this. Unlike the old USSR with the distant gulags our states will have to use other methods. The future looks bleak.
The “elites” are dependent on us to keep them in power.
They used various collective ideas in the past to rally our loyalty.
Now they seem to want us to be loyal to our own destruction, our serfdom.
But we’re smarter than they think. Don’t worry the futures bright.
We, the people will turn ’em over….again….like Hitler, Musso, the USSR, the communists of central and Eastern Europe, the various empires of the 19th and 20th centuries before them. The “elites” always overplay their hands, get too greedy and proud, always forget….hubris precedes nemesis….the rich are sent empty, away.
‘total liberal correctitude’
Nice one, Mr Golightly. Fit for a 21st Century Survival Phrasebook.
BBC 1 10 o’clock news carried a story about a young Pakistani woman done to death by her brother for appearing in sexually suggestive you tube vids….this behaviour is of course applauded by the BBC……who manage to frame it as a story about Pakistani conservative family values without once mentioning Islam.
But disturbingly, we’re shown a BBC interview with this young, pouty woman posing by a swimming pool a month before her death.
It appears that the BBC have helped to generate the publicity leading to the killing of a young woman for “shaming her family”.
Two things strike me….the BBC appears to endorse the sexual objectification of this young woman as a desirable phenomenon. And they participated in promoting the videos that led to her being murdered….Hello…..anyone at W1A thinking at all?
Next story, Fiona Bruce simpering about the first Nigerian musical to feature on the West End stage…..more gyrating dark flesh. More daring taboo busting.
So let’s get this straight…..BBC values tell us that a white female in a bikini that’s “beach body ready” causes outrage whilst brown and black women’s bodies being flaunted transgressively is o.k……..Isn’t there a word for that?
Good post Embolden. I do wish though, that the media stop using the term ‘honour killing’, this is purely an Islamic term, and to continue to use it only gives the action more credence. Its murder plain and simple, and I don’t care whether Islamic men are of a peaceful orientation or killing machines, they all subscribe to their little girls being maimed, disfigured and put through great pain at a young age. These men have a savage mentality with no emotion except anger, which means they can kill their own flesh and blood without hesitation. All of you on here with little girls I’m sure would stick pins in your eyes before letting your child be mutilated, and yet little is done about it in this ‘civilised’ country. Personally I would like to see those guilty Islamic men castrated, then they would know what pain in that area was all about !!! (rant over)
Its Murder . Simples
The use of the term ‘honour killing’ by western journalists and activists posing as journalists in the BBC indicate the level of complicity shown by western fellow travelers. Until the media are brought to heel on this, and are required to describe brutal murders as such the perpetrators of these actions will continue to belief in the rightness of their actions.
I know this site specifically deals in al beebus bias, but I feel that mention should be given to Robert Moore of ITV; he is their main U.S. correspondent.
He also produces some of the most appalling, unobjective anti-Trump propaganda you will see on a U.K. tv station. I have watched Sopel, yet even he doesn’t match this pr@ck’s output; it is quite unbelievable that someone who is a “journalist” on a major news network could be so blatantly partis pris.
Al,
Yes . I have followed Moore on and off. He is crap.
So he wasn’t a lone wolf after all …………………………………..

By “this chap” I mean ………………..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/election-us-2016-35404043
I think we’ll be getting used to gurning faces, I predict a Trump victory; it is the margin of that victory which will determine how much of what he says he’ll do, he’ll actually be able to.
If he wins by a Nixonian or Reaganesque size landslide, then the RINOs and cuckservatives in his own party will find it difficult to thwart him; if the result in his favour is more akin to the margin of the Brexit win: then it will be much more difficult to implement what he wants to.
However, even if Trump doesn’t win, politics will have been as transformed in America as it has been here by our referendum. The majority of white Americans have had enough of globalization and all that brings with it. Go Trump!
Good post Al.
What I heard this morning when I heard Trump discussed on the BBC is a kind of fear and disbelief that politics has become about disagreement again, open division, democratic choice, Right v left, the freedom of self determination for nation states v neo Imperialism imposed by diktat, with the collaboration of “partners” at the national level.
For several decades now..in the UK…probably since the Major years….in The US perhaps since NAFTA? (both in the early 1990s) world politics has been dominated by notions of stability vs change (change actually meaning more of the same)…business allowed to flourish only on condition that lip service is paid to red tape and a social democratic (leftist) dependency on supra national, unelected bureaucracies.
An unelected “elite” pushing one size fits all global rules on immigration, multicuturalism, environmentalism, far left identity and social policies, welfarism and dependency….top down, global government…that leftists and liberals can rely on to be sympathetic to their agendas without having to go to the trouble of winning elections.
It is this that is being rejected across Europe and the US….the anti democratic governance of globalised liberalism and thinly veiled leftism that is being rejected. no wonder its cosy proponents are so horrified.
We want our countries back.
The BBC has of course devoted one of its rare, or at least selective ‘Breaking’ emails to this:
****
Breaking News
Trump: I’m voice of ‘forgotten’ Americans
Businessman Donald Trump formally accepts the Republican presidential nomination at party?s convention in Cleveland
****
From the tenor of the piece, not sure they feel that speaking for the forgotten is desirable.
Which makes coming from an entity that claims to speak for the nation when it clearly does not, all the more ironic.
Have I missed something & did Al Beeb miss it also?
“Police swoop on armed men in TWO British seaside towns within two hours”…………….

In his closing speech at the Republican National Convention, Trump spoke for one whole hour.
James Naughtie was there for it.
Oh! Sweet revenge!! Such sweet revenge! 🙂
Hilary-hate is vicious says Katty Kay on the bbc website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-36862552
Katty kindly shares her horror, ‘I honestly don’t know if it’s because Mrs Clinton is a woman. It may be because she’s been around as a political figure for so long or because her email server makes her look like she thinks she’s above the law but the hatred of her here is vicious and visceral’
‘They really, really hate her. On that they can agree.’
Next week Kathy is going to do a piece on Trump Hate at the BBC, Is it because he is a man? Is it because he has been around for so long? After all the BBC’s hatred is visceral and vicious. As Katty will undoubtedly conclude, ‘They really, really hate him. On that they can agree.’
BBC Business on the News Channel – why the blue studio, it’s just the usual unthinking lefty bias?
Certainly not much pro-private business about the show – among lead stories this morning, as so often, they focus attention on ‘golden handshakes for tech bosses – should they be stopped, tell us what you think?’
Perhaps the two BBC presenters in their blue dresses represent the US Democrat party?
There’s a quick swipe at the boss of Fox News – departing under the cloud of alleged sexual harassment and with a payoff – never let it be said the BBC don’t enjoy a kick at a market and ideological rival.
Of course at the very top of BBC priorities is the spreading of fear and uncertainty about what they like to call ‘Brexit’ – you know, it’s what others might term ‘home rule for Britain’.
Christine Lagarde of the IMF has expressed irritation and a certain pique – oh la la, sacré bleu, zoot alors, OR oh dear, how sad, never mind.
As so often the expert guests to BBC studios disappoint the gallery as they have very little concrete bad economic news to impart and with which the BBC can run. And yet still the BBC can’t seem to change the broken record.
On a lighter note – as if the show were not lightweight enough we learn there’s a lot of Pokemon Go going at the BBC workplace, although of course the presenters are not owning up to playing it themselves, yet.
Not sure if this will be BBC bias, yet, but…..
Living in the South West, it is without doubt a lovely place to live, when it isn’t raining…a bit like Wales. Yesterday, I had an interesting chat with an estate agent here on Dartmoor, who has told me things are very busy since the BREXIT vote. It turns out that many of the enquiries, in fact 90% of contacts, are now Ex-pats wanting to come back to the U.K. for fear of losing their status when the U.K. finally leaves the E.U. in about 2 years time. I wonder if this is a very short term knee jerk response or a long term trend? Whatever, it looks like the “higher end” property market may well be taking off as Ex-pats come home.
I wonder how the BBC will spin this one, not yet I guess, in the future?
Whilst researching the affects of Ozone and “Climate Change”, I have unearthed several nuggets of information on “Climate Change” or rather “Global Warming” that further research shows that the BBC didn’t announce it or simply that I couldn’t find it. Once such nugget came from the British Antarctic Survey team who frequent the Antarctic quite often. They have stated that their records show the Antarctic is cooling rather than warming, and has been doing so for the last 20 years. This is empirical data and not computer modelled data.
Oops.

BBC Brrekkie just now had 3 remainers and 3 leavers on discussing the 4 week anniversary of Brexit(still not happy). All were introduced as regular folk but one of the remainers a black guy, lance idiabor moses kept mentioning the rise in racism. Well a quick Google told me hes connected to the limp dicks
There was also a scouser remainer who worked in the NHS who seemed to be on a political rant. Didn’t catch his name but also didn’t fit the regular dude from the street mantra
Why no mention i wonder.
I’ve noticed our BBC employee trolls are not so frequent……………perhaps it’s because they along with their employer have been on the wrong side of history for :
1. Scottish Independence Referendum
2. Conservative General Election Victory.
3. Brexit.
With the coming of Trump, Le Pen and Wilders, can I ask these low level drones how they feel about being wrong on everything despite their media dominance and fellow travelers at C4, ITV and Sky?
Would they consider leaving the country now it is now doomed economically and full of racists?
Is this him ?

Whilst I have my doubts that BBC newsreader Sima Kotecha is a Muslim as such a name would suggest an Indian (Gujurati) name, but the views she holds would certainly suggest she is an Islamophile.
So in a similar vain as Channel 4 last Friday, we have her presenting last nights BBC1 8pm news bulletin, very short only three stories 1) Attempted RAF abduction 2) Nice 3) Vitamin D deficiency, maybe the irony is obviously lost on the BBC, but more likely they like to rub their viewers noses in endless diversity, just to rub even more salt into the wounds, the following local news headlines was presented by similar.
