      I’ve noticed the new names too.

      It’s great to see, as not only does it add to the brilliance of this website, it also proves that the ‘so-called BBCs’ decision to turn its propaganda machine up to Deathcon 1 is back-firing on the lying, traitorous, islamophilic b@stards!!

      I want nothing more than to help destroy the disgusting Al Beeb…. But it looks like the devious cretins are doing it perfectly well by themselves

        Welcome on board Swarm.

        Our freedom and way of life is not only under attack, it’s getting it’s arse kicked right now. That should get everyone worried, whatever walk of life they are.

        The Nazis, The Soviet Union, Communist China, The Khmer Rouge and by far the worst Islam…all of the most horrific and deadly ideology/institutions that have ever existed, have suppressed and controlled the rules of the debate and what the people are allowed to know and learn….and this is done to further the aims of the vile organisation, because without this control, they know that the public wouldn’t stand for it. These organisations know that we would never allow them to get away with what they are doing, because it’s wrong… They know we do not want it, but they do…. So the deceit, the lies, the withholding of information, the threats, the fear, the violence, all start and become the modus operandi to ensure they get their way… No matter the consequences.

        Al Beebistan has been hijacked by these vile, disgusting, traitorous vermin. They are undertaking their acts of war on our way of life. They are no different than the worst of the Nazis. This isn’t about freedom, or democracy, or religion… This is about them alone getting their way and they are prepared to do anything for that to happen.

        Welcome to the infidels sanctuary Swarm. Looking forward to reading your contributions

    “Early indications suggest that mental health is a significant factor in this case”
    So, first let’s get out the lies to mislead the public, quick.
    Note the weasel words: A SIGNIFICANT factor: so, the guy was 90% mad and 10% Muslim terrorist.
    Phew, thank Allah he wasn’t 100% Muslim terrorist.
    EARLY INDICATIONS: I bet even earlier indications suggest Islam played an even more significant factor.

      Obviously the BBC et al are just using one of their well worn excuses to deflect the cause of the murder away from Islam. Mental illness is in vogue currently for lone wolf attacks. Obviously the more Muslims who take part in an attack the harder it is to claim that they were all mentally ill. Of course if there is any way they can bring the pantomime villain of the Far Right into the picture they will. Other useful fall backs are that the attack was caused by deprivation and alienation, so neatly blaming the rest of us for attacks on ourselves. In every case we will be told by anyone who is allowed on the media that the attack has nothing to do with Islam. If you are not prepared to speak this rubbish you will be no platformed.
      The BBC and rest of the MSM are following Lenin’s dictum that , ‘a lie told often enough becomes the truth’. Except that fewer and fewer people believe these ever more ludicrous claims and know with bleak certainty that the cause of the attacks is the fanaticism of Muslims in forcing their odious way of life on the rest of human kind.

        I think you are wrong on one point here – I believe that Islamists are ALL mentally ill. I half watched a programme a few days back about an Egyptian suicide bomber in Syria I think. He chatted with his wife and baby (who he had never met) back home on Skype but still believed that when he was martyred he would get his quota of virgins. That surely is pure insanity!

    For a while I’ve been considering the logistics and feasibility of declaring Pisslam outlawed. Couldn’t give a flying fuck about three leftie outrage and the Islamic fatwas issued. If you are a Muslim, visit the mosque, read the Koran… You’re an undesirable and should be forced to leave. What more proof do people need that Pisslam is an evil, satanic death cult? Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don’t want this to happen but… if Mudslimes won’t stop butchering us, what other option do we have.

    Do you think Saudi Arabia would waste any time in declaring Christianity illegal (well, it kind of already is) if a Christian so much as blinked at the wrong time? A Christian in Saudi is there purely because of the grace and compassion of the Islamic overlords and he WILL obey their rules or face severe punishment. Meanwhile in the west, Muslims butcher us left, right and centre. I’ve had enough.

    Don’t worry viewers, nothing to see here, it’s just a crazy man…!

    A remarkable feature of the liberal media is its great willingness to acquiesce to Police news management – in certain circustances.

    Two clearly contrasting examples which come to the fore this morning are the BBC treatment of the historic Mark Duggan case or should we say ‘Police shooting of a black man in Tottenham’ – where every action and motivation of the authorities is questioned and held to account.

    And then we have reports what many would see as another of Alah’s dark skinned little kamikazes doing his Intifada thing on the streets of London – where the BBC is lapping up every soft soap and obsfuscation the Met have recently learned from their Bavarian cousins.

    When will France ever learn?

    http://www.infowars.com/france-water-park-to-hold-burkini-day-non-muslim-swimming-attire-banned/

    A water park in France is holding a “burkini day” during which men and women not wearing Muslim swimming attire will be banned from using the facilities.
    Speed Water Park near Marseille, a city with a Muslim population of around 25 per cent, is advertising a private women only day to take place on Saturday September 10th.
    Visitors to the water the park on this day will be required to wear one piece swimsuits known as “burkinis” or “bath jilbabs” (pictured above) which cover the entire body, including the head.

    Responding to pressure from incensed residents, local council officials are attempting to nix the plan, with one possibility being an “administrative closure for security reasons”.
    Council member Romain Amaro said it was impossible that the event should be allowed to take place “in the current context”.
    Valérie Boyer, an elected official for the region, also expressed her outrage at the event.
    The controversy is yet another example of how France is becoming Islamicized even as the country is constantly hit by Islamic terror attacks.
    Swimming pools have been a flashpoint for tensions exacerbated by the massive influx of Muslim migrants crossing into Europe over the past year.
    There have been numerous reports of rapes and sexual assaults, including an Iraqi “refugee” who raped a 10-year-old boy at a swimming pool in Austria and didn’t even think much of it, labeling his predicament a “sexual emergency”.
    Last month, Breitbart reported on a group of young Muslim men who harassed women at a swimming pool in Geldern, Germany, yelling “Allahu Akbar” while threatening to “exterminate” the women for being “sluts”.
    Just today it was also revealed that a taxpayer-funded swimming pool in the town of Luton, UK, which has a high Muslim population, would be hosting a men-only gender segregated event during which women would be banned from using the larger pool.
    Posters advertising the event, which is called ‘Alhamdulliahswimming’, a Muslim phrase which thanks God for his blessings, cautioned that “navel to knee must be covered”.

    How precient of the BBC to screen an adaptation of Conrad’s The Secret Agent

    ‘The Professor then describes the nature of the bomb which he carries in his coat at all times: it allows him to press a button which will blow him up in twenty seconds, and those nearest to him’

    ‘Winnie’s brother Stevie has the mental age of a young child and is very sensitive and is disturbed by notions of violence or hardship. Verloc, exploiting both Stevie’s childlike simplicity and outrage at suffering, employs him to carry out the terrorist attack’

    Fair to say, viewed through the present liberal media lens both The Professor and Stevie could easily be characterised as ‘lone wolves’ having ‘mental health issues’

    Freedom of Information request to Police reveals that “Syrian Refugees” in the UK have carried out 897 crimes, some very serious. With another 20,000 Syrians at least on the way the expression, “When in a hole, stop digging” should really be applied. Shame this essential adage is not considered by our ruling elite in the Commons/Lords on their undeterred all-out rush to Islamicise the UK. One can only hope that in selecting which “Syrian Refugees” come to the UK, a mental health assessment is carried out on all and the results of this determine admission. On this basis perhaps the BBC (and now the Police) would acknowledge that the figure of 20,000 may well then reduce to zero.

    Anyone else noticed that the French and American authorities shoot these terrorist (sorry ‘mentally ill’) scum after their vile attacks whilst we just taser them (probably apologising after doing it) and give them a trial and comfy bed in prison whilst they serve a British life sentence (2 years). We also make pathetic excuses for them. I am getting seriously worried and demoralised about my England. At least in Scotland and Wales you are allowed to be a nationalist without being labelled a racist. In England, if we hadn’t succumbed to left-extremists, we could defend our country through our patriotism. But, the media hates English pride more than terrorism it seems. I’m sick of it. I want England back!

      HR, they have worked it out alright, they just can’t bring themselves to admit it, either to themselves or anyone else. To admit they have been wrong all these years about something so fundamental (the uncritical joy of immigration and multi-culturalism) would require a reappraisal of all their beliefs.

      I don’t believe most lefties are capable of re-thinking their beliefs, as I think that requires them to have ‘thought’ in the first place!

      Instead, they hold up their beliefs like a religious cloak, that cannot be broken or questioned. To threaten their comfort blanket of leftism is to challenge their entire selves. One of the reasons they only answer criticism with reflexive insults and violence – no thought processes required or available.

    Even when they`re paid up fully PC Green nannies with surnames like Nurse.
    For poor little Webb seemed only to be pleased at the multicoloured science swap shop that is being beanbagged and open plan-so lots of third rate science johnnies and joannas can make their “Death To Cancer! wristbands beat in time to Coldplay tunes-and display colours of the flag under which Islam last tried to increase “mental health awareness” for the rest of us.
    Utter crap-Nurse talks as a very social science wallah would…and Webb has nothing to say, about fuss about whether GSK( stumping up for much of this theme park of discovery) will run off with the elixirs and charge the NHS for what they made earlier in the Blue Peter wing.
    Nurse thinks it`s fine-and Webb remembers that Owen Smith did rather well with GSK so let his slime trail go cold.
    Ah but-Columbo like-“one further question unalloyed science clever chappie-what about Brexit…hmmm…”What About BREXIT”
    Can I include this as my nomination for most obvious gratuitous and pointless adjunct and irrelevant tack of of “Brexit” until I get back from holidays?
    As if we don`t already know what Sir Paul Nurse of the EU Barmy Army Fundy thingy for Green , for Drugs, for Surveys and Opinion Pieces thinks of Brexit-how often did we hear him rolled out to tell us before we slapped his smug face?
    But Webb HAD to ask it…see you lot…if anybody now dies of cancer in the next two years-it`ll be YOUR fault!
    If anybody else hears a more craven tacked on pretext to mention why we need to overturn that referendum thingy…do tell me.

    BUT-funnily enough-next article from Monty re Phil Shiners stickybeak in the public trough to put squaddies in jail and feed Anjem in the process-and Clive Coleman was NOT asked about “how Brexit plays into this”
    .
    Why ever not?…why does the BBC care about what Sir Paul says about Brexit..but not about what Public Interest Lawyers think of same…maybe it`s because lawyers aren`t as loved as scientists…or lawyers are all they speak to anyway when back in HIghgate Towers.
    Crap-and crap again…BBC Wales it is next…hope Brexit types will be pleased that we`ve chosen them by way of the “Brexit Dividend”…as opposed to London or Scotland who we`re boycotting.

    Down in in the equivalent of flyover USA or provincial Russia some of us quietly resolve never to go to London again. Not to risk our children there and to stop listening to to lying press and government/police .

      I agree, it is an excellent film.

      After World War II, the French Army developed a doctrine for fighting a revolutionary war, which they put into effect in Algeria. In the Battle of Algiers, they defeated the terrorists by using well planned but brutal methods, including torture, to break down the terror cells. Torture was seen as a necessary measure to gain information, distasteful, yet important.

      The upshot was that the French Army won the revolutionary war, and was promptly stabbed in the back by the politicians in Paris, who decided Algeria was not worth keeping after all. If they had come to that conclusion five years earlier it would have saved everyone a lot of time and effort.

      The French Army was on the verge of staging a coup d’etat, but backed down at the last minute. A renegade force then tried to continue the war, and assassinate de Gaulle, which failed but gave Freddie Forsyth the idea for a cracking book.

      The moral is that by using disciplined, intelligent, and where necessary, brutal means, terrorism can be defeated. And that when the security forces have won, the politicians will cave in anyway. It happened in Algeria, it happened in Northern Ireland, and I suspect it will happen here, if we let them.

But, Wessely added, much more needs to be done to help “alienated, disturbed, troubled” adolescents and young people with mental health problems, some of whom are at risk of committing violence. However, he cautioned against any attempt to increase the number of people detained due to psychiatric problems.”

      Very instructive to see that the Grauniad is allowing no comments on this story. They might as well be saying openly, “We know you don’t believe it, but we’ve got to carry on this charade”.

      I’m with others who say the lid can’t be kept on this for much longer. Then, once attack after attack from Muslims has been excused with “lone wolf”, “mental health” and “nothing to do with Islam” and is met with little more than Twitter hashtags and lit-up buildings, the first nutter who cracks and attacks the Favoured Ones will be deemed to represent all “far-right-wingers” and draconian curbs will be imposed on all who oppose the current orthodoxy.

    Just Googled ‘bbc history first jihad mohammed’. This is all I could find:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/muhammad_1.shtml

    Within ten years Muhammad had gained so many followers that he was able to return and conquer Mecca.

    From this time on he was generally accepted by the faithful as the true final Prophet of God.

    Muhammad continued to lead his community both spiritually and in earthly matters until his death in 632.

    Compare and contrast:

    In AD 627, Muhammad committed an atrocity against the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza.

    He beheaded the men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped an entire tribe “off the map” to use the language of the President of Iran, recently.

            Peter – You are definitely right regarding the Sikhs Very loyal but not a race to be messed with. And essential to British Army in WW2.

            It is interesting that whenever there has been another terrorist murder/sex attack in Europe if the attacker is a muslim the BBC is always deliberately opaque about their nationality/culture.

            I sometimes wonder whether the BBC harbors a secret desire for the thiko s to start attacking “asians” what better way to divide different cultures that have previously got on OK. Because as we all know that many of the worst sex attacks were committed by “asians” Bit like when the practice of a pediatrician was vandalised because all they could read was paedo on the brass nameplate.!

            I was bought up in West London (near Southall) and on the whole both Sikhs and Hindus always managed to keep their own culture and lifestyles intact without deliberately attempting to deconstruct ours.

            People generally rubbed along OK with one or two notable exceptions.

            So in essence this was pretty close to the BBC multiculti wet dream the BBC always thinks we should have. Having said that at the end of the day the two races would generally go back to their own houses. Point being that most people prefer their own cultures.

            However if you are white and said that in non BBC speak straight away you would be called a WAYCIIIIIIST!!!!!

            What is wrong with different races keeping their own culture NOTHING!

            Providing they
            1 Show respect for the host culture
            2 Dont condone or ignore the murder of those whos religious traditions are different to your own
            3 Respect womans rights (including their right not to be groped just because you are a man)
            4 Dont undertake FGM as it is barbaric and against the law
            5 Respect those whos sexuality is not the same as yours (doesnt mean you have to celebrate it, but certainly throwing them off buildings could be considered a tad excessive)
            6 Dont constantly plead and whine about discrimination and demand changes in the law to suit your own culture
            7 Dont be the culture/religion whos adherents are responsible for 90% of the worlds “mentally ill” attacks

            It is interesting that only one population group – fits the bill to all the negative points in this list but according to the BBC only one culture deserves to be smitten from this land and replaced with something more up to date and relevant to “modern life”

            And it is…………………….You guessed it Christianity!

      Jesus Christ, this tired old argument AGAIN?

      Are you simpletons not aware that there is a VAST difference between short term, single event predictions and long term, multi-event predictions? If I roll a dice, I have a 1 in 6 chance of getting the number right. However, if I roll the dice 1000 times, I can say with a certain degree of confidence that each number will come up roughly 166 times. This is very much akin to predicting tomorrow’s weather today and coming up with a prediction for 30 years, as is done in the case of climate.

We have a harvest to get in and judgements on whether we force in corn that isn’t quite ready which puts stress on our machinery or that needs drying (ie if the machinery doesn’t break down and need repairing or if the sun does the drying for free we don’t have to use up some of the earth’s precious oil) is dependent on the forecast. Part of the met office’s job via the BBC is to provide us with the likelihood of precipitation in the next few days. They cannot get it right. If they cannot get tomorrow’s weather right (or indeed today’s) why should I trust their predictions for 100 year’s time?

    BBC must be wetting themselves with excitement as a water park in France is to only allow Muslims and no one else. They hi-light the “right wing” criticism whilst assuming everyone else is happy with this non-muslim ban. Imagine the BBC reporting if it was the other way around with Muslims banned from a water park.

    No time to report many things, but space for pet sneering or lionising.
    Anyone catch R4 PM at 5:25 last night ? What NEWS reason was there for the 5 minute interview with a psychiatrist about a baby crying at a Trump rally ?
    It’s the kind of thing that works well in the Guardian where they could easily misrepresent wha tTrump said, but on radio where they have to play the actual clips, it became a non-story. Rather than ridicule Trump the psychiatrist (from Denmark/Holland I think) said ‘yes first he made a joke about it ..and then he was more serious, cos our studies prove that a crying baby causes so much stress that it is almost impossible for a person to do their normal job’ (I paraphrase)

    5 whole minutes for that ! It’s almost if the BBC managers have a ticklist for every show : ‘Lionise Corbyn, Hillary, BME, token women, GreenDream Religion and …smear UKIP, Trump, talk down Brexit economy’. etc.

      yeah Stew, heard that too, and had the same opinion, i.e. what was all that about ? It wasn’t even the usual cheap shot, it was just weird. But remember, if you hear anything like that again, just look at the picture of Eddie Mair on the PM iplayer page and have a chortle at how bad he looks. Hehehe…sorry just had a look again…hehehe…

    We have had some quite anti-Islamic posts on this site today some from people who don’t usually post here. I think what they reflect are people’s anger. Somehow the BBC and the Police PR are linked. It used to be that individual terrorists were ‘lone wolfs’ now they are people with mental health issues. But what many of us have to acknowledge is that not all muslims are terrorists. What the BBC and the Police have to acknowledge is that many terrorist attacks are by muslims. If the BBC and the Police (and the Government as I don’t know if their hand is behind this) cannot recognise the problem, there will be no solution.

      The BBC and Police PR have a common purpose. Currently its to “manufacture consent” for mass immigration and multi culturalism. (I know that`s Chomskys term but its no less true for being identified by a leftie.)

      There is also cross fertilisation as ex BBC employees move into media and communications jobs and vice versa.

      There`s a network of media people all influenced and influencing each other…. attending the same courses, the same NUJ meetings… reading each others output, dining and partying together, committing indiscretions and blackmailing each other.

        Embolden,
        I agree 100%. We really are up against powerful conspiracy of the liberal left which hold almost all the levers of power.

      Deborah, I don’t believe for a moment that anyone on here believes all muslims are terrorists that would be ridiculous.

      It is however as equally ridiculous for anyone to suggest as the MSM does, that these atrocities have nothing at all to do with Islam. To ignore the teachings in the Koran that commands Muslims to engage in offensive physical warfare against non muslims and also how the religion was spread by the sword for instance.

      A large number still strongly believe in this.

      A large amount of muslims are offended by western secularism and dominance they wish to “fight in the cause of Allah”

      We should not bend over backwards to those that believe this but instead come down extremely hard against it and fight the attempted whiff of theocratic Islamification of regions in our country.

        I believe ALL Muslims are terrorists, and here’s the reason why it isn’t ridiculous.

        Far too many people in this country judge Islam from the perspective of a Christian viewpoint – in doing this they fail to understand even the basics of the religion.
        They view Mosques as being like churches,and the Qur’an as the Bible. The fact that most of them haven’t even got a clue what is even in the Bible illustrates just how ignorant they are.

        So here’s a little Islamic theology lesson to prove the point. The Bible is scripture INSPIRED by God whereas the Qur’an is the VERY WORD OF GOD. You either believe all of it or you simply are not a Muslim, and it really is as simple as that!

        There are two points as to why every Muslim is not at this time actively engaged in terror against us.
        All children at the madrassah learn the Qur’an in classical Arabic, and don’t understand it. This a good thing for us as it’s keeping the peace!
        Secondly Mohammed commanded his followers not to wage open warfare on a host country until they had sufficient number to win and actively suppress the non Muslims.

        However there are far more people engaged in acts of terror than you might think, and it isn’t always in the UK. Only today Israel has charged Mohammed Halabi of channeling millions of dollars of charitable money given to the ‘World Vision’ organisation, to terrorist group Hamas. He personally hasn’t killed anyone, or picked up a weapon, yet he is accused of facilitating others to do so.

        In the UK we see all kinds of drug dealing, crash for cash, banking scams, where the money is channeled to terrorist activity, inside the UK & abroad. We see people persuading Muslims to travel to Syria to fight for IS and those who help them to travel there.

        None of these might be picking up a weapon and killing people on the streets, and yet each one of them is fighting Jihad in his own way and is equally responsible for the loss of life.

        There is no getting away from the 164 Jihadic verses in the Qur’an calling believers to violence murder & terror in the name of Islam. Jihad is the 6th pillar of Islam it is central to its whole ethos.

        ALL Muslims are therefore terrorists, if they’re not then they are apostates- no longer Muslim and the penalty for apostasy is death !

          But even over here they will receive instruction in it from their own teachers in their own home language or in English. These mullahs may well come from militant Islamist mosques in Bangladesh or Pakistan and provide their own interpretational bias

      Not all Muslims are terrorists, but it appears now as time goes by that all terrorists are Muslims. The ‘anti Islamic’ posts here are frustrated people that see reality being denied and denied in such away as to in fact make life more dangerous for those of us who know what the situation is.
      I have no problem with anti Islamic posts by strangers here.. they are welcome, we just don’t incite we just observe and comment.

        I think the point that is being made is that all Muslims who truly follow the Koran are if not active terrorists are at the very least terrorist sympathisers. Those who condemn terrorism in the the name of Islam (and there are loads of them aren’t there?) are Muslims in name only and not following the faith as prescribed in the holy rag.
        Literalist interpretation is the only true way of practising the cult of death,it is stated clearly.

          Apparently after the throat slitting of a French Priest, ‘French’ ( yes I know ) Muslims mourned his death in French churches… at least two hundred according to the very well tempered ( if not too ) Douglas Murray… problem slight as it was they were the Ahmaddiya (!) Muslims… ones persecuted and murederd in this country by mainstream Muslims.

        A few weeks ago on a phone in to bbc radio Newcastle someone brought up your point Jerry.
        The presenter came back with the ‘fact’ she got off the internet that only 2% of terrorist crimes were committed by Moslems.
        I haven’t got a clue as to how this figure can be true unless they count something like an animal rights campaigners spray painting a slogan on a wall as being one crime and counting the Nice Lorry killings also as one crime.
        That’s the bbbc for you.

    Anyone notice that everytime they quote “A survey shows pessimism for the Brexit economy” they seem to be talking about a different version of the same PMI Purchasing managers index (Markit/CIPS purchasing managers)
    … or is it that there are lots of indexes with similar names ?
