Is Trump the only candidate for the Presidency? Seems to be as Clinton rarely gets a mention on the BBC in comparison to Trump….Trump who is, according to Jim Naughtie, a joke, an idiot, and ego maniac…or possibly any number of other things which the BBC freely slanders him with such as he’s a crackpot, simplistic, phoney, a tragedy, a bar room blusterer…importantly though, serious, sensible and grown up people must talk to him and guide him onto the right path as he ‘stokes fear and anger’ by suggesting terrible solutions such as bringing law and order to the streets, preventing terrorism and ensuring American interests are put first in world trade and by not indulging in ‘foreign adventures’ that result in much money spent, much blood spilt and those ‘helped’ somewhat less than grateful….would have thought the BBC would be onboard, sounds like their kind of man in many respects.
The Weekend Open Thread starts here…boogey on, the dancefloor’s all yours…..
Ali David Sonboly, aged 18 yrs old, has been variously described by the BBC as:-
– A Boy
– A Teenager
– A Child
Why then do you want to give the vote to 16 yr olds?
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8522/france-jihadist-attack
Successive French governments have built a trap; the French people, who are in it, are thinking only of how to escape. The situation is more serious than many imagine. Whole areas of France are under the control of gangs and radical imams.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls repeated what he already said 18 months ago: “France is at war.” He named an enemy, “radical Islamism,” but he was quick to add that “radical Islamism” has “nothing to do with Islam.” He then repeated that the French will have to get used to living with “violence and attacks.”
The French are increasingly tired of attempts to exonerate Islam. They know perfectly well that all Muslims are not guilty. But they also know that all those who committed attacks in France in recent years were Muslims. The French have no desire to get used to “violence and attacks.” They do not want to be on the losing side and they feel that we are losing.
Those who tried to speak of jihad were promptly reduced to silence. Not even a year later, in November, the Bataclan Theater bloodbath did not lead to protests, but was a deeper shock. The mainstream media and the government could no longer hide that it was an act of jihad.
Great line from Lord-ish Ashdown, currently occupying centre stage on the Marr show. Illustrating the breadth of the political intelligentsia within his exciting new party/movement – which among many throw-away tenets includes the option of Rejoining – the patrician peer raised our hopes for the future by listing Simon Schama and Dan Snow….
What a comprehensively total wanker.
The pompous self satisfied prick that is paddy pantsdown
Giving the air of speaking from some kind of self imagined authority while playing the part of the anti uk,anti common sense quisling arsehole to perfection
In the top 10 of current uk political arseholes without a shadow of a doubt
Where’s that hat Paddy?Still waiting to see you choke on it you utter wastoid
Here’s my “top 10 of current UK political arseholes”. In no particular order.
Jeremy Corbyn
Tim Farron
Diane Abbott
Angus Robertson
Paddy Ashdown
John McDonnell
Alex Salmond
George Osborne
Anna Soubry
Nick Clegg
i think this might have to go to a top 20
wee jimmy krankie would be in there….Michael Gove……Diane Abbott at least twice…..Emily Thornberry….Amber Rudd
gosh what a rogues gallery
Hi Mr G.
Zees eez the vote from Euromanche Trois…Gibraltar up to Bristol-and over to Portsmouth.
1. Alan Duncan-douze points
2. Anna Soubry-dix points
3.Nicola Sturgeon-naff points
4. Nick Clegg and wifelet-weed points
5. Sam Gyimah-set point
6. Richard Burgon-sex points
7. Owen Smith-pfaff point

Fanatubolsa from Tiverton campsite….
Are`n they all GREAT twats tonight?….oh, lines gone down….bleeding guy ropes are sheet zees daze!
Like Number 6 I would add Abbott, Thornberry and Rudd. (But not Michael Gove – he steered us through into Brexit). I would also include Chris’s Martin McGuinness. I wouldn’t be too hard on Clegg either. I would add some of my own few to your very good (bad or even wicked) list. Gerry Adams, Tristram Hunt, Ken Clarke, Neil, Glynnis and Steven Kinnocks. Tony Blair, Gordon Brown. And for some from the past who we don’t see too often but still waste oxygen – David Steel, John Major, Michael Heseltine. I’ve just remembered the Greens – the Mad Pixie is very annoying, and the half-wit Aussie woman is probably not worth including.
Ken Clark, should feature somewhere on that list too.
Al,
My problem is limiting it to 10 ! I could add someone like Gordon Brown, mentally deranged.
And of course Harriet Hatemen
A consolidated list with a few more I thought of:
Diane Abbott
Gerry Adams
Paddy Ashdown
Baroness Ashton
Ed Balls
Yvette Balls
Margaret Beckett
Natalie Bennett
Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
Richard Burgon
Dave Cameron
Douglas Carswell
Ken Clarke
Nick Clegg
Jeremy Corbyn
Alan Duncan
Tim Farron
Caroline Flint
George Galloway
Michael Gove
Sam Gyimah (whoever he/she is)
Harriet Harman
Michael Heseltine
Margaret Hodge
Simon Hughes
Tristram Hunt
Tessa Jowell
Gerald Kaufmann
Sadiq Khan
Glenys Kinnock
Neil Kinnock
Steven Kinnock
David Lammy
Ken Livingstone
Caroline Lucas
John Major
Peter Mandelson
John McDonnell
Martin McGuinness
David Mellor
George Osborne
Angus Robertson
Amber Rudd
Alex Salmond
Jackie Smith
Owen Smith
Anna Soubry
David Steel
Jack Straw
Nicola Sturgeon
Emily Thornberry
Keith Vaz
Baroness Warzy
Tom Watson
John Whittingdale
Shirley Williams
And then a few journos I thought should be added:
Alistair Campbell
Owen Jones
Piers Morgan
Polly Toynbee
Michael White
It’s a start.
He say’s the movement seeks members who do not wish to become members of a political party. In the next breath, he said that as soon as the membership reached 25,000 it would become a formal political party. Square that circle!!
Oh yes…another SDP is EXACTLY what we need.
1. Second Referendum forced on us
2. Unfettered Islamic immigration
3. President Falconer, end of royalty
4. Climate Change enshrined in all teachings
5. Close prisons
6. Drugs made compulsory after the Brand Commission report.
7. TV License to go up to £300p.a
I demand all the above…and John Prescott to be our interim leader.
“Go back to your constituencies-and prepare for Government”…splendid Sir Patrick!
Now time to tell Radio Devon that we`ve already adopted this manifesto as the Pasty Party!
I may be wrong, but I don’t recall the BBC interviewing either Nigel Farage or Geert Wilders during the Republican National Convention. So I give some credit to Sky and Adam Boulton for this interview and the tone with which it is conducted.
Geert Wilders, a man of principle and who has given up his own freedoms, to tell the truth. It’s a pity we don’t have such forthright and honest politicians within our own country.
We have one such politician WH and his name is Nigel.
Mr.Golightly. Accept my humble apologies, you’re right (no pun intended). I’d clearly forgotten Sir Nigel, as my thoughts were waylaid to the straightjacket that i was about to strapped into. That’s the one that the BBC would like to see on anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their way of thinking.
No apologies necessary Mr.Homburg. I waylaid by BBC restrainer some time ago, though to my shame I am still paying them to listen to a bit of radio and a bit of news. Hardly good value.
I quite like Nigel…. I accept that on some occasions he has made statements regarding policies which i don`t agree with, but unlike other politicians he doesn`t change his views the next day like a hypocritical mainstream politician… I hope that sooner or later he returns to the frontline as only someone such as he would have the courage to call out Theresa May when she attempts to steer us towards some kind of a soft Brexit future and subvert the wish of the majority of those who voted to leave the corruption and elitist dictatorship of Brussels… I do not for one second believe that the new PM will make any stand when it comes to bringing back our proper soveriegn rights… I especially do not think she will demand the return of our territorial waters and fishing rights, I`ve a feeling that they will attempt to sweep it under the carpet… I live in Grimsby, once the home port of the largest fishing fleet the world has ever known and our docks are devoid of any fishing boats now, save the odd few registered in foriegn ports which occasionally moor here due to adverse weather conditions.. we have a fish market which auctions fish caught in our waters by foriegn vessels registered elsewhere in europe which is trucked in overland only…. We also have a huge industrial estate of which about 60% is made up of vacant factories whilst the remaining 40% still operating now employ foriegn nationals on zero hour contractors… I despise the EU as I have seen within my lifetime our region go from being awash with money and employment in fishing and also in the many onshore fish processing factories which relied on our fleet to survive, to our region being just about the worst economic blackspots in the entire UK… Just up the road 11 miles away is the port of Immingham it has an oil tanker terminal and it too will slowly die a death now as the renewables scam industry is being promoted here now…. Windfarms everywhere offshore and also on the land up the coast which is as it happens owned by David Camorons father in law.. There is no way that Theresa May will change policy direction relating to this and in my eyes is one of the main reasons for Camorons (yes the mispelling of his name is intentional) early resignation, it all seemed a bit too cosy for my liking in a years time I expect Osbourne and Camoron to have wealth on the same level as the Blairs…. the appointment of Boris johnson as Foriegn Secretary has been made in the hope that he will not have the opportunity to make a bid for the leadership and also in the hope that he will upset foriegn leaders with so called `gaffes` … As for Micheal Gove I honestly believe that he should now jump ship and join UKIP as it is obvious now that he will never be given any kind of office within the government…. I really and sincerely hope that Farage returns to the frontline and believe without someone like him Brexit will end up as a watered down soft political football which will get kicked downed the road and deliver nothing but an own goal to our interests..
Yet again…ta Mr G.
Reckon we need our own programme with your clips once a week-and tell the BBC we`re all withdrawing £4.50 to watch YOUR compilation of the best of Worldwide TV!
How about it?
Now to Mr Wilders.
We need to thank God for these European patriots.
Geert to me would be number One in terms of Europe.
Yes, Marine, Nigel the AfD, Pegida, Scandinavian heroes and heroines in cartoons and articles-as well as Victor Orban and Klaus etc in the New Europe will soon be seen to be pan-European Titans.
We here in Britain will remain eternally grateful…Jacqui Smith and Geert Wilders in 2007-9 was one of MY watershed moments in terms of how this country was going.
Wonder if we`d have had Geert had Pim Fortuyn had not been murdered?
But-the day will surely come when Nigel and Geert are on our coins/notes.
Geert is an extraordinary man…whenever we swill over the Euroscum and slime who parade and preen in front of the BBC cameras-remember that Geert Wilders blazed a trail for Nigel and Marine etc…
Viele danke!
I confess to being a little jet-lagged this morning. Perhaps due to liberal usage of the in-flight drinks trolley. I will continue to rack up the air miles. BTW this is a free to air service and no payment is required.
“Liberal usage of the drinks trolley”
The ghost of Charles Kennedy as “Ghost Free Rider in the sky”…yippee yai yay?
Hillary Clinton. What a scheming, lying bitch:

what did my son’s schoolmate get for his 18th birthday(amongst other things of course)

that PC brainwashing at school really working well there 🙂
Not directly about the BBC but i recommend an article in the Sunday Times by Rod Liddle today, re the lies and deceits being peddled by the media and elites regarding Islam. He sums up what most of us on this site and most of the general public think. The comments back up that his views are widely supported by the readership of the ST, hardly foaming at the mouth racist bigots. Suck on that BBC et al.
The BBC are bloody thick aren`t they?
As they coo over Hillarys hitherto-unknown running mate , whilst ignoring who or why Pence was chosen by Trump…they only show their residual bias.
Witness BH “paper review”-yes,you can say you`ve balanced the politics with Labour, Tory and liberal…but these are old categories now from 1997.
There`s only ONE divided now…are you IN or OUT of the EU?
And a further question to be clever-do you believe in “Islamophobia”?…if you do then the rest falls into place for the rest of us.
The only two answers wanted are OUT and NO respectively.
Sorry Beeb…as you accuse Trumps campaign as being “nasty and personal”-I can only suppose your vicious bile and hatred towards Trump, Farage and Leasdsom etc are all “done in the best possible taste, less populist, more nuanced”.
Makes you even MORE evil BBC-as if playing a flute for the Kindertransport might keep you from Nuremburg a few years hence.
But it won`t
The BH Independent paper review were the same cossetted elite who`ll only hope we go away and leave the stage to the Beautiful People like themselves…”ain`t gonna happen” as the “plebs” might say.
I`m not telling them that the podium is quietly getting dismantled as they declaim…I`ll tell them that the hammers and nails we`re using are Proms steel drums tributes…and that the seeming gallows they might notice if they dared to look other at George and Amal Clloney-well that`s a new Tie Rack, and the noose measures transgendered adams apples with a gentle stretch.
Wasn`t Saddams white scarf “so darling” Paddy?-what a positive statement to us all.
Did you watch the pair at the most recent, ‘sideshow’? Both simultaneously nodding their heads affirmatively. That vision led me to a mental picture of the dated ‘Churchill ‘ toys on display in the back windows of cars, randomly nodding,,,,,,,,,,,
Brexit heightens global economic risks, says G20
Well maybe it does. France and Germany have to accept that they can be part of the problem or part of the solution. France does a lot of trade with the UK. They have to ask themselves are they willing to jeopardize their economy over a peurile liberal stance on movement of people. Admitting failure is something the French must be used to given a brief look at their history.
Se réveiller et sentir le café. (wake up and smell the coffee)
Indeed Seismicboy, that is the headline of the piece, but oddly nowhere in the actual article does it say this. The nearest is :
The outcome of last month’s referendum “adds to the uncertainty” for the global economy, the group of the world’s 20 largest economies said.
So the headline says ‘heightens global economic risks,’ yet they only quote the G20 saying “adds to the uncertainty” for the global economy.
deceptive little b*****ds!
Bloody hell…. according to the BBC Brexit is to blame for everything. I’m surprised they haven’t blamed the Munich shooting on Brexit. Also, does anyone else sense that the BBC are bum-licking the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Turdoğan? Could it be that they wholeheartedly support his type of ultra-strict and authoritarian Islamic rule?
Alex,
The BBC love all muslim extremists and that bastard Erdogan. There are young boys down to the age of 14 being tortured by Erdogan’s psychopath secret police as a result of the coup attempt . God knows how many girls and women have been raped. The BBC should be investigating this right now and reporting it. But they don’t care, do they ?
Grant,
People giving Islamophobic looks, and hate-looks is far more important. And as for Trump supporters, don’t even go there!
Lobbie,
Yes, Lefties have a total moral inversion and care nothing for humanity.
And aren’t we all glad that Grant is able to pigeon hole people so well. Why, it’s almost as if he’s never actually engaged with real people, rather than just making up attributes of huge swathes of people in a desperate attempt to make him sound like he knows what he’s talking about.
But hey. Biased BBC can never have too many up-themselves blowhards whose principal hobbies include constructing straw men, right?
Good use of ‘we’ there, with neat bookending irony failure.
Maybe best to keep such invitations between you and the tag team partner du jour.
Alex, I have also got the feeling the BBC are siding with Erdogan. I still haven’t been able to find out exactly what the coup plotters were backing. Some sources say they were secularists, others that they were led by some mad mullah. I suspect however that if Boris Johnson wrote a rude poem about Erdogan, for the BBC it could be ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend.’
Can I just check that when we talk about the ‘BBC’ we’re talking about the same thing? Maybe we should check we’re using the same FM frequencies?!?

Pish, Kikuchiyo. Why on Earth are you confusing things with facts? Don’t you know that Biased BBC fares far better when it’s full of unwashed septuagenarians fantasising about a world where they’re right about everything and the BBC is the root of why they’ve never achieved anything with their lives? How dare you step on their dreams!
A sweeping generalization laddie, which has no content.
Funny, I don’t hear you complaining about gross generalisations when your buddies talk about “lefties” as if they’re one mass homogenous group with a single hive mind.
Maybe you were too busy fantasising about other people’s sex lives again to notice you were being hypocritical?
Jerrod,
Some generalizations have content, yours did not. I can generalize about lefties because the concept of ‘left’ is polythetic, not strictly homogeneous but lefties in general will accept at least 8 out of say 10 beliefs which can be regarded as left. That is why one can predict your response to a situation.
You really are concerned about sex. I wonder why? You are probably too young to have been influenced by Freud.
Who let jerrod in then?
Lefties?…one mass bunch of beehive types?
Well jerrod-give us the breakdown as you`d see it.
Many of us used to be-so we have an idea how to categorise them, then label them for our own ease and convenience.
Free at point of delivery and not a £145.50 brainwash in sight from here.
You sound like one of those Dignitas Daleks who rages at having to find a relatives ear buds as she changes channel with her walking stick.
You sound like there`s no escape-so you come running here when it all gets too much.
Why not try some other site where old socks are on the boil with cabbage, and mothballs blend with the Werthers originals?
Don`t know why you come here…all my other nephews and Polish carers seem pleased to visit…you need a course and an NVQ in something caring…and it`s not good for you to be here,
If I say you`re a Remainiac who believes in global warming and the existance of Islamophobia…then you`ll be a mainline lefty…as are most of `em.
Bye now.
cH,
Jerrod and the Trolls have to masturbate somewhere , so why not here ?
> You really are concerned about sex
Nope, just poking fun at you, the man who continually asks people about whether they have sex in public toilets. Really, I’m sure you can find better ways of finding out your partners’ names…
Jerrod,
Sorry, I cannot understand what on Earth you are talking about. You come on this site, boast about the size of you manhood and what you would like to do with it regarding me, and then respond with silly remarks about sex when I try to explain some logical issues with your arguments here.
“Boasting about the size of my manhood”? I’ve never done any such thing. Really, GWF, are you quite well?
> and then respond with silly remarks about sex
Let’s see who responds with silly remarks about sex, shall we? Fires up Google and does a site:biasedbbc.tv search…
GWF: July 10 – The things the get up to in Camden Public Toilets
GWF: June 24 – Poor Manon… I suppose he could take some consolation with Zero aka Jerrod in Camden public toilets.
GWF: June 18 – Zero, you are back and have yet to answer my question: do you prefer sex in public toilets or at home?
GWF: June 22 – Zero, sorry I missed you at Camden public toilets as the experience could have been videoed for my colleague
There are more, but I don’t think I can stomach wading through any more of the cesspit of your deluded ramblings.
Next time you pretend to be shocked – shocked! – that someone thinks you’re a dirty old man with an obsession with other people’s sex lives, just remember that people can read the nonsense you type, you deluded, ignorant, sex-obsessed halfwit.
Poor Jerrod, You fail to see how you have been taken for a ride. Each of my irrelevant comments were designed to respond to your failure to meet any of the points you were criticising and instead descending into personal abuse.
You never saw that and instead saved up all my ridiculous comments like a naughty boy saves dirty mags under his bed,
Ever been had?
> Each of my irrelevant comments
Well that’s one thing we can agree on, at least.
> designed to respond to your failure to meet any of the points you were criticising and instead descending into personal abuse
So you decided to descend even further to show how it should be done? Because it’s okay for you to post lewd messages while accusing others of doing so? What is it that makes you think you can behave as you see fit while accusing others of doing exactly the same thing? Have you discussed your sociopathic tendencies with the poor therapist who has to unravel your psychoses on a weekly basis?
> You never saw that and instead saved up all my ridiculous comments like a naughty boy saves dirty mags under his bed,
You still seem very anxious to talk about sex. So forgive me if your latest excuse for your obsessive behaviour is not one that I take seriously.
Now, do us all a favour, pull that hand out of your underwear and behaving like a grown up for once in your miserable life.
Oh, and “saved up”? Hardly – I used a Google search, as I said in the post. It appears that basic reading skills are something else you lack.
Ageist much, luvvie?
…..unwashed septuagenarians …….
These would be the ones who are demented and p.ss themselves right ? You seem to be uncannily obsessed with this age group and their personal hygiene. Your Mum and Dad included in your comments ? As for being unwashed, I rather think that the opposite end of the age spectrum i.e. teenage and students are the greater unwashed (never been in a teenagers bedroom Jerrod ?, as the more mature were brought up in a healthier, cleaner and more respectful age.
If only you put so much effort into getting Alan to stick to the truth. Go on, be a sport: help him be that teensy, tiny bit less dishonest. Or is that asking too much of you, do you think?

Is this a deliberate attempt by the French to punish us for voting Brexit ?
taffman,
I suspect it is the French playing their infantile games. Not so funny for them when Brits stop holidaying in France and buying French produce ! Who needs champagne anyway ?
Well if it is deliberate, they are affecting the future tourist trade for the rest of the european countries. The last thing that the EU economy needs now .
taffman,
The advice to Brits must be not to holiday in EU countries. The rest of the world is much better anyway !
The USA is looking pretty attractive right now .
Who, at the top of the BBC is filtering the bias down to the newsdesks ? Somebody must know, because it cant just be the News Editors on their own who are responsible for the bilge- there is clearly a line of hierarchy and line management, so the buck must stop somewhere. So who is it ?
Never EVER been a programme on how they select their news output, stories to lead and how to update and amend has there?
Why ever not?…would be very cheap to make-and might be worth a bit of sunlight in there.
Bit of light on the magical creative processes ought now to be done…might even find the Balen Report or Saviles pass key to the creche if they looked hard enough.
Like you, am sick of their presumptions and endless lies and agendas…about time we saw what they were doing and why…as if we don`t know.
And yet there’s never been any such email or instruction leaked….and it even seems to cover independent production companies.
Lord Hall is the ultimate man responsible for the system that bypasses impartiality, but David Jordan is the visible face imposing seminar policy on “bypassing impartiality” such as using environmental activists as science advisers, advising the BBC to implement its censorship policy for climate science, scientists and scientific debate. But there are also some second rate but over promoted scientists, ideological bedfellows from outside the BBC, called advisers, used to justify violation of BBC rules on impartiality to politicians who complain to the BBC. So, David Jordan.
Breaking news from Germany , another one of those ‘men’ running amok with a machete ?
It’s only a matter of time until German citizens start taking the law into their own hands……..And who could blame them?
Probably a home grown, mentally ill, troubled (boy/child/teenager [delete as applicable]) native German-(Syrian/Afghan/Somalian [delete as applicable]).
Then again the BBC may just go with “Machete kills people” spin.
Latest…………….. Some say syrian refugee acting……. you guessed it , ‘alone’ ?
Outside a kebab shop of all places.
From the Indie:
‘An eyewitness told the tabloid: “The attacker was completely out of his mind. He ran with the machete behind a police patrol car.”
He said a passing BMW managed to run him over and afterwards he “lay prostrate on the ground and didn’t move”.
The police has confirmed the attacker was a 21-year-old Syrian refugee but have not released his name. The motive for the attack is unclear.’
Comment on the report
Today is the anniversary of the battle of Harlow. Maybe this attack can be linked to it and we can blame the Scotish

Sale of BMW’s about to rocket
Poor man, probably a quiet recluse, who spent his evenings reading about Brevick, the EDL and had a room full of far right material. The police and authorities knew he was unstable, but that he was not connected to any terrorist group.
German police to crackdown on anti migrant activities. State sponsored demonstration in support of migrants expected
Damn those lone wolf machetes!
RT: “A 21 year old Syrian asylum seeker known to the police”; a pity they didn’t act on that knowledge before he had the opportunity to murder a woman and injure two others.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/532457/Man-kills-woman-Machete-Stuttgart-Germany-terror-fears
Maybe we should take away all driving licenses from machetes, until we ascertain the facts.
Once we see it was only a one off-then we can restore the licenses.
Yes I know that it`ll be seen as disproportionate by working machetes and those completely innocent of this latest so called incident.
But I`d rather we were firm and draconian…for safety is paramount as we all know.
Do hope however that we`ll not be scared to use a road, and that we don`t treat machetes too harshly…most of them are perfectly respectable, and it`s perfectly safe to visit a butcher or supermarket, in order to help the tourist industry.
German Green politicians and Libtards are critical of the police for killing the ax attacker. This video is a response .
Never have six days had so much impact in one quarter’s business:
“Sixty-six UK listed companies issued profit warnings in the second quarter, which was the most for that period since the financial crisis in 2008, according to accountants EY.
Alan Hudson, EY’s head of restructuring in the UK and Ireland, said: “It’s been a dizzyingly unpredictable time since the UK voted to leave the European Union.”
From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36877568
It’s understandable. I for one have not bought a single thing since the Brexit vote, as the economic outlook is far too worrying, and anyway, who needs food?
BBC seem to be dragging their heels in reporting yet another attack by a Syrian ‘refugee’ in Germany. Even Sky have reported it, though (surprise, surprise) the motive is unclear and there don’t appear to be any links to terrorism.
http://news.sky.com/story/syrian-refugee-wielding-machete-kills-woman-10511527
Cannnot wait to see how the fair-trade-coffee-sipping sociologists at the BBC will spin this one. It must be those Methodist paramilitaries folks. Either that or Amish extremists.
Alex,
The BBC do not “drag their heels “. They wait until the full facts come in before they decide how to spin the story.
The BBC website is now covering it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36879196
2 hours and 15 minutes after it appeared on RT.
That’s 4.5 Billion p.a. well spent then.
Old news now .
While we focus on Stuttgart, does anyone know anything about this?
Was it on Al Beeb?…………………….
http://www.thelocal.de/20160711/stuttgart-police-shut-down-streets-after-armed-man-spotted
But at the time of writing this it’s tucked away quietly halfway down the World News page, it doesn’t appear on the Home page. Strange considering it’s a breaking story and because of recent events in Germany and France.
It is on the home page now. “Syrian held in Germany machete attack”.
Better late than never I suppose. Reading through the story came across the line….
“Witnesses said the attack happened after an argument developed between the man and the woman in the town of Reutlingen, near Stuttgart.”
So an argument broke out and he just happened to have a machete on his person?
BBC Front Page Headline: “Syrian held in Germany machete attack”.
They manage to keep the murder of a pregnant woman off the front page, and I suppose readers are left wondering why a Syrian would be held because Germany attacked a machete?!?
Well done there, BBC – the envy of the world.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news
http://archive.is/ZBRAS
The Telegraph doesn’t have any trouble making the point in intelligible English on its front page: “Syrian asylum seeker murders ‘pregnant’ woman in public machete attack before being run over by BMW driver”.
Remind me again why we pay for the BBC?
Here is how it has been reported by a rigidly controlled state medium elsewhere, in a country where the population has a variety of communities living together pretty harmoniously most of the time…
Pretty much covers the facts, and within an space restrictions that may constrain #editorialintegrity.
Notice how the BBC prefer to call him a Syrian ‘migrant’ rather than a ‘refugee’? They are trying to spin it so it sounds like he lived in Germany for a long time and not one of the recent refugees that the likes of St Bob Geldof said we must help.
Top comment on BBC ‘News’ Facebook page by a fair margin…
Samuel Paxton Usually when two people have an argument, one of them isn’t carrying a machete.

If they had any shame, the BBC Editorial Department should be blushing at what they have allowed themselves to be reduced to.
I suspect we know the answer to that!
Not merely killed, but a pregnant woman hacked to death.

Billed below the ‘latest’ on the Munch shootings, of course and pretty much played down.
According to the BBC Germany seems to be suffering a spate of “non terrorist attacks” by Muslim migrants on strangers.
Anything about this from our Trolls?
Over to you Marvin and your chipmunks…………..
I was watching BBC Parliament yesterday. There was a group of mostly academics discussing the referendum result. Interesting .
They did not approve of us uneducated unwashed making our views plain for once and this coloured their supposedly unbiased analysis.
One of them actually understood that in the Anglo Saxon tradition that we are heirs to the notion of sovereignity residing in the people is deep rooted , easy to understand and to his mind rather regrettable a feature of particularly English life.
The rest were of the usual hive mentality. Some of them seemed dimly aware that things are changing and that the liberal consensus is no a longer valid way of ordering society. Despite this they lacked any real knowledge that the consensus which they were part of was going to break apart .
This type of behaviour is normal in any decaying power structure .The USSR being the most recent example.
What does this have to do with the BBC? The BBC is almost completely in thrall to the outdated and soon to collapse liberal/neoliberal/ statist/leftist elite .It has recruited from this narrow demographic and now is composed almost entirely of such people.
Sadly it has no future with the current people in position. In a sensible world we would deprive this useless elite of any power and influence but this never happens in our world. We must hope that events force them to either relinquish power of that they reform.
Dave well said – however I do find the slow suicide of a once great and respected organisation quite depressing. I was bought up with the BBC generally always taking the moral establishment line. Conservative (in a small c) fashion. The BBC was considered as English as Roast Beef, however those days are long gone.
I can only assume that the BBC still tows the establishment line and its increasing shrill – default liberal/left wing bias and downright lying can only be seen as a reflection of the establishment/elite that are currently in control of this country.
Why was the BBC let off the hook in the recent charter review ? Because it reflects the the views of this out of touch elite who are still obsessed with multiculturalism and globalization.
We have the strange situation in this country where the establishment is in effect at war with its own population. They are patronised , lied to and generally treated with the utmost contempt. Climaxing with the referendum.
This is becoming more and more obvious to the population at large and hopefully as the BBC and MSM becomes more brass necked in its lies, it is sowing the seeds for its own destruction. The amazing irony being its strongest supporters appear to be the so called “revolutionary” organisations such as Class War etc.
I suppose the “danger” time comes when the establishment are finally backed into a corner. As cornered animals always fight hardest. Or in the the BEEBS case lie hardest. I think Brexit may well be the vehicle to achieve this. As people did not vote for the single market and did not vote for uncontrolled immigration to continue. We will see .
The only thing that I am sure of with regard to our “treasured state broadcaster is that truth is always the first casualty in war.
“I suppose the “danger” time comes when the establishment are finally backed into a corner”
I think we reached that poit with the Brexit vote and that yesterday’s announcement by our new Home Secretary (that ridiculous empty vessel, Amber Rudd) with her obscene Blairite ‘hate crime’ proposals is the first post-referendum sign of things to come.
If the BBC really believed in the ‘human rights’ rubbish it endlessly spouts, it would be on Rudd’s neck like a wolf, just as it should have been on that of her predecessor, who was another enemy of free speech. But of course, the BBC doesn’t believe in human rights for anyone other than its favoured client groups.
I suppose what Amber would really want is our very own British, shed burning, bacon throwing right wing, mass murderer. She can but hope – Thomas Mair was just a practice run but if she had her very own Breitvic then she could implement all the nice juicy bits of freedom curtailing legislation I am sure she has fantasied about.
Odious woman.
She’s a truly terrible woman. An opportunist without a single thought in her head other than how to grab power in the fastest way possible – at which, it has to be said, she has been remarkably successful.
GC,
Sums it up and the clue is in the name . Useless woman. Sorry, person .
She seems to be the type of person who reacts badly to criticism and is an authoritarian by nature. I have no doubt at all that control is central to her world view. Dangerous times for us all and it is increasingly looking as if May has put her there to enforce those policies which will be central to the May project- that is ensuring that we remain in the EU and subservient docile serfs.
No doubt the anti hate legislation will be interpreted to suppress anti EU writing and speaking. Good people are going to be persecuted I fear.
In some ways Corbyn is ,although a bizarre man in some ways, a better bet where freedom is at stake ( a contentious view I know)
Rudd is also part of the banking financial establishment and her brother is a noted EU supporter.
I have said before that the task before us all is to try to work out when the fix goes in. We are going to be shafted by the May junta ( I think that is what the present lot deserve to be called).
Sad times I fear and once again the elite is showing it’s contempt and it’s utter cynicism.
Without the protection of the 1st Amendment we, unlike our American cousins , are exposed to any and every authoritarian effort to silence us.
Shami Chakrabatti, Amber Rudd, Nicola Sturgeon; – three unpleasant women who seem to be sucking wasps, with a hard as nails demeanour, and milk would be on the ‘turn’ if they smiled !
Maybe as a temporary fix for this spate of terror and non terror attacks we could try something a little radical, it’s a little far out but give it a chance. We could create safe spaces and fill them with people who have a common bond, shared values and culture, maybe even a long standing generational connection to the land they inhabit. Obviously people would want to move to the more successful safe spaces, but with carefully controlled borders and realistic quotas this should be no problem. Of course a reluctance to fit in would result in swift removal, we could call these spaces countries…
I know I’m being facetious but for ***** sake, the answer is just so bloody obvious to all but the people in a position to do something about it, it’s long past time for them to swallow their pride and admit they have made a huge mistake and start putting it right.

BBC Scrubs ‘Ali’ From Munich Killer’s Name On TV, In Articles, AND On Social Media
Why isn’t the BBC reporting the latest backsliding on leaving the EU?
Tory MPs react with fury as EU leaders consider UK ’emergency brake’ on free movement
Tory MPs have reacted with fury after it was reported that EU leaders are considering allowing Britain curbs on freedom of movement whilst retaining access to the single market.
MPs have accused leaders across the continent of “missing the point” and failing to accept the public’s decision to sever ties with the 28-member bloc last month.
European diplomats are understood to be looking at granting the “emergency brake” on EU migration for up to seven years.
If an agreement was reached, it would require Britain to pay a sizable contribution to the EU budget.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/24/tory-mps-react-with-fury-as-eu-leaders-consider-uk-emergency-bra/
I think Mike – the truth is that the elite think they can still get away with treating the population as a whole with the same sneering contempt they always have. “They came at us in the same old way and we shot them down in the same old way”
We are told in one breath that “if we still want to remain in the single market” and we should have an “emergency brake for seven years on immigration” as if these are things we always wanted. All very BBC/Camoronesque/”big dealish!
Silly me I thought that most people who voted to leave the EU realised that the single market was part of it. And in voting to leave the EU we also leave the single market.
As for the “emergency brake ” on immigration, most of us dont want a brake on immigration, just the ability to control who comes into our country. And what happens after the seven years – business as usual I suppose.
Nice touch that Boris seems all for this EU sleight of hand/EU fudge. I suppose it could just be some sort of negotiation ploy. Where we all settle for something a bit better but not much.
However I never trusted Boris from day one (considering him no more a brexiteer than Theresa the Appeaser) and I am afraid this that this pro EU pile of shit from Whitehall as strengthened my view.
I am afraid my friends we are all being sold a pig in a poke yet again.
Situation normal Bullingdon – Rules OK – YAH!
It`ll be a wind up.
Of course that`s what they`d LIKE to do…and the Telegraph are well-placed to pass on their masters voices to enrage us all.
May says “Brexit Means Brexit”.
We`ll all know it when we see it-and until then, no sell-out!
That was a Malcolm X slogan.
Believe you mee-any “sell out” will see the end of the political class and all those poison dripping liberals for the political class.
We KNOW the forces ranged against us-but the chatterati will have to convince our kids and their friends to redefine what we wanted.
Won`t happen…we KNOW what we voted for…and the likes of Gove, Redwood outside the Parliamentary elite will whiff a stitch up…and May will be gone within the month.
Let`s hope that they tread carefully-and any more of these planted stories and fake hoo-has over petitions, legal challenges etc will invite trouble for them.
This is how the BBC will be thinking of portraying it:
Major split developing in the Tory party !
Didn`t the Tories split over the EU?
It`s the only way that the BBC would use “Europe” and “Tory” in the same sentence until June 24th
Certainly all references to the Tories before the Referendum banged on about how hopelessly divided the Tories were over the EU.
If only Europe had brought the Tories together like it has done with Labour.
Europe split Labour-and it`s not a mere crack…but will split them into MPs versus the Momentum £3 nutjobbies.
Thank You Nigel…thank you, thank you…
Labours broad church becomes a wayside chapel and a bomb-making den attached to the O2 Arena with a few cowering lesbians and male deviants in fear of their lives…what`s left of the Labour MPs.
Great stuff.
In the not very long, yet inglourious time Left wing politics has defaced the world, its followers have managed to excel themselves as the biggest murderers of all time. More people have been killed as a direct result of left wing politics than any other cause, they must even be running natural causes close now!
The problem is something called ‘left wing denial’ It works like this:
A government policy has failed – it cannot be the fault of the party or the thinking behind the policy so therefore a scapegoat has to be found, blamed and annihilated. In the past this was ‘counter revolutionaries’ or some such, to this day nothing has changed.
The Communist invention of multiculturalism has failed – undeniably so and someone has to take the blame for it. Instead of ‘counter revolutionaries’ today we have those guilty of transgression of the ‘isms’ and ‘phobias’ the left has invented as scapegoats to blame for the current failure of their ‘perfect’ communist inspired policy.
I can think of no where in the world where Racial integration, nor Multiculturalism has actually worked, in fact it seems that in every country where it has been tried, it has been a total unmitigated disaster.
Of course if anyone can name a country where this delusion has actually succeeded then I would be only too glad to know and stand corrected ?
This is a great speech by Laura Ingraham at the RNC, now if Theresa May was more like this woman…
Aren`t all our pals gorgeous-as well as on the side of the angels?
Poor Left only get Hillary, Mairead and the Eagle choirboys…they really need to look again. listen carefully then come over.
Knuckle scraping need not be a hindrance…the Left are simply uneducated, thick and prone to perversions and addictions.
Not forgetting the fragrant Nicola Krankie.
Earlier today I suggested the idea of a pocket folding burkha to be put on by men and women in the event of Jihadist attack to avoid being shot at.
I’ve thought of a design modification: the inside would be coloured white and styled as a Ku Kux Klan robe, and easily reversible if the attacker turned out to be one of those right wing extremists the BBC warns us about.
I love this type of video…it can’t be questioned because you can see for yourself in black and white, and as we all know the BBC would deny it ever happened before they’d put it on our screens…This is truly the power of the Internet..

Late night Sunday update: A BBC APOLOGY (of sorts).
I was surprised to hear this Sunday afternoon that the BBC (radio 4) has responded to the question of BBC bias and impartiality on all reporting charges – amongst the many vocal public claims of ‘corporate Impartiality’ on all the BBC news channels and web sites and radio phone-ins. In response to that we have this unique offering, in this radio 4 ‘FEEDBACK’ radio program (headed by Roger Bolton), he was interviewing the BBC Director of Editorial Policy and Standards… Name already forgotten!
There was no mention of Cameron’s fear ‘remain’ campaign having any input on the ACTUAL BBC coverage (or the audience ‘packing’ at ‘Question Time’). No apology for that!
And you’ve guessed it! It not an apology but an appeal to the (lost) ‘Remain’ camp that they did not challenge the ‘leave campaign’ effectively as they should have done due to (cough) that famous BBC impartiality (hah!!!) As usual those (radio listeners and TV viewers) that did manage to complain (and phone-in live on air) to the BBC which does now admit defeat. So it hasn’t happened yet (obviously) and that was regrettable that the BBC are forced to apologies – late on a Sunday evening that it won’t happen again (until next time). It is clear from this radio interview that what the BBC thinks was ‘representative’ was plainly clearly at odds with what the public wanted and the end result. In many ways this reflected badly on the BBC. I shall credit them for making this Radio 4 FEEDBACK apology -although many of us have heard this kind of thing before on a Sunday afternoon only for the familiar (BBC bias) to restart (again)) on Monday morning.
Still worth a listen to for as this is as close as we will ever get to an BBC apology of covering events that it does not approve of.

Any thing about this on Al Beeb?
As of midnight not that I can see. Sky tweeted about it almost an hour ago, RT about half an hour ago……….Please let this be some kind of accident
Some reports that it could be ‘an IED’ in southern Germany ?
The Sun is reporting that…..”There are unconfirmed witness reports on social media claiming that just before the explosion a man with a backpack was denied entry to the music festival.”, that may or may not be true, but they are confirming it was an explosive device……….Not good
I cannot see any thing on Al Beeb’s breaking news site ?
Perhaps Jerrod can help us ?

That’s odd – they forgot about the pregnant woman murdered today with a machete.
Sky news didn’t forget, though.
To be fair there’s been so many it would be easy to forget one 🙂
Yeah, especially one committed by a Syrian refugee 🙄
Interesting quote from SKY News
“Detectives believe that the person who died was likely to have been the attacker”
Good riddance.
Suicide bomber ?
Al Beeb are wondering what the motive was ?
Just out of interest, is the murdering Syrian refugee going to sue the driver of the BMW car that ran him over
I’m sure the Islamic loving BBC would pay for the lefty lawyers required to action this.
World Service sagely reminded us this morning that we must be very careful at this time not to speculate on his reasons for the failed “asylum seeker” blowing himself up.
Apparently he was turned away from a music festival – so I suppose he had no choice but to blow himself and maybe a few othersup. Perfectly understandable. Maybe Saint Bob was playing and who would want to miss that!
If only the music festival had been a bit more understanding and maybe given him a few free lightsticks – none of this would have happened.
I suggest to Amber in her new anti “hate crime” legislation – maybe she should include a section on the banning of the “not allowing access to festivals any festival punter carrying a ticking rucks sack on his back”. Maybe all asylum seekers could also be given free lightsticks on entry to the West as a way of apology for earlier errors and to show them that we love them really.
This should spread more peace and love and generally encourage the indigenous population to merge their bodies and personalities with any asylum seekers carrying said rucksacks.
That wanker, Philip Hammond is now talking about the opportunities of Brexit. Can someone now remind me of what he was saying before the Referendum ? Wanker.
Calling all Beeboid trolls- Radio 4 reports “disastrous ” Chablis harvest!
