    Don’t worry, BBC Breakfast hasn’t turned blue – it’s just that the Carry On Team there don’t seem to realise the Olympics are over. That soppy exchange brimming with innuendo was a chat with the girl’s cycle team about their gold medals.

    Viewers of the BBC News Channel may well ask ‘Are We Being Served?’ and licence payers may question ‘Who have we been watching?’

    Another day, another facile attempt at spinning a false narrative on the US election.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37188339 is entitled Clinton’s Flaws, but is just a fawning article that goes into no detail regarding her many scandals, writing them off as trivial and again trying to push the “gender disadvantage” drivel for the multi-millionaire wife of a previous ruler. The photo used on the main page for this is Clinton looking presidential in front of an American flag, nothing like the bug-eyed crackpot that actually attends the few public events held for her this year.

    Meanwhile, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-37021991 is a hit piece in the so-called Alt-right, entitled Trump’s Shock Troops, which has a crude drawing of Trump as a lizard representing it for some reason (probably to try and make people believe that Trump supporters believe David Icke’s theory of lizard aliens posing as humans) and again goes into no real detail. The fact that it’s considered “shocking” to challenge a status quo few normal people (ie ones who actually have to live with it, unlike the sheltered establishment types) over the age of 30 agree with and it’s considered an “alternative” to back someone whose policies you like and investigate the illegal activities of a corrupt politician playing the race card against her opposition despite having made repeated racist campaign decisions herself over the years, speaks cold or the arrogance of cosmopolitan globalist types as they legitimately think they and their views are above scrutiny, an unimpeachable truth that no matter how much evidence proves wrong will always be right.

    People who rely on the BBC for its news are in for a rude awakening when Clinton not only loses, but loses extremely heavily if current statistical trends continue – and that’s assuming she even makes it to the election given her health problems and the fact that there’s now long-overdue discussion of federal indictment.

      Another day, another BBC Breakfast VD program.

      Oh no, not Muslims again. This time we had a couple of Muslim men, suitably attired, with massive beards, and a couple of women, complaining that they had to undergo security checks at airports. Oh how humiliating. All of them complained that it was because they looked “Asian”, or looked Muslim. How unfair. Their holidays were ruined because of intrusive security. They were going to complain. The BBC was suitably sympathetic.

      Not once did the BBC journo, or the Muslims, consider that Hindus, Buddhists and Christians of Asian origin, have to put with the same security measures, because of the Jihad that is being waged on us by their fellow Muslims.

      No system is going to be perfect, but there has to be a method by which the demographic that is most responsible for terrorism, is searched more often. In the Irish troubles, Irish people were searched more often then say Asian Hindus.

      Where’s the ‘fawning’ in the article?

      ‘no detail regarding her many scandals’ – many it was this that gave you that impression: ‘And yet two-thirds of the American people say they do not find her honest or trustworthy. And that is her flaw.’

      This week she has been on the defensive. The nagging question is whether, when she was Secretary of State, she traded access to herself and others in government in exchange for payments to the charity the Clinton Foundation.

      Click on the link embedded in ‘Clinton Foundation’ and you get this: ‘US election: Why is Clinton’s foundation so controversial?’

      The article continues…’And then there was the use of a private server and her emails. ‘

      And so it continues. And yet no mention of any of it being ‘trivial’. How does the article ‘ push the “gender disadvantage” drivel ‘ given there’s no mention or even suggestion of such a thing?

      The Trump article – The drawing of Trump as a lizard would be the one he tweeted himself. Its not a lizard. As it states in the caption under the pic, its Pepe the frog.

      The article doesn’t use the word’alternative’. But the movement is called ‘alt-right’….because that’s what it calls itself. Perhaps you should take that up with them?

      The ‘current statistical trends’ suggest Trump is well behind in the race.

    Next week the BBC launches a four part series featuring amateur orchestras from across the UK. Apparently they will be competing against each other and the winner will perform at BBC Proms in the Park in Hyde Park, London on Saturday 10 September 2016.

    It is part of BBC Music’s Get Playing initiative, which is laudable enough, and I will be giving it a try. As usual in these situations however, I am apprehensive. Orchestras are hideously white so they will feel obliged to find a way around that, turning what for me would be a potentially interesting programme into a series of irritations. Identity politics will probably intrude.

    Not sure whether I will get beyond the first programme.

    Can anyone think of an industry which operates on free market principles where, despite almost unlimited demand for products and services, firms are shutting down capacity? This could only happen in a state run monopoly with one source of revenue, taxes. It reminds me of the creaky attempts to provide consumer products in Soviet Russia, or when the GPO here ran the phone system under a monopoly and you could have only one type of phone, ivory or black, and there was a 6 month waiting list to get it installed. When will the BBC, other MSM and major political parties stop talking about ‘our NHS’ and recognise it for what it is – a conspiracy of a monopolistic supplier and its unions against the public?

      “the GPO here ran the phone system under a monopoly2

      Many years ago, the early 1970s I think, I was speaking to a high-ish ranking BBC engineer (he didn’t climb telegraph poles, he did something technical at a central location – research perhaps). He told me that even stringing an intercom between two adjacent houses would contravene the GPO’s monopoly and could in theory be ripped out.

      I can’t say for sure whether he was correct, but it does demonstrate how some things have changed for the better.

      Well said England, you have brilliantly described the NHS. It is indeed monopoly that acts on behalf of its employees rather than its customers.This of course applies to most public sector monopolies ,our dear old BBC being the most obvious.They love New Labour because it gives them loads of our money, and only expects that they will continue to vote Labour, no requirement to improve the level of service or anything unpleasant like that..They hate Tories because some Tories are actually looking to get value for our money, I exempt Cameroons from that . The BBC actually hates Corbyn because they know that whilst his heart is in the right place ,at least in their world it is,he will never get Labour into power.So the Tory scourge of public sector accountability and value for money will remain on the agenda.In the BBC we know that the public sector has a doughty champion who will fight their corner come what may.

      Very well put, EE. The NHS is a sacred cow for (most of) the public and a minefield for politicians – well, those that would like to see it reformed, anyway.

      If private companies operated in this way – incapable of efficiency savings, refusing to change its operating model for the 70 years it’s been in existence, in hock to collective pay bargaining and militant unions, immune to meaningful restructuring of its pension fund (‘fund’ – that’s a laugh), blind to ways of funding which make health systems in other countries far superior etc etc – we would have a third world economy and no bloody health service worth speaking of.

    Interesting to note that even columnists have become cynical about the GBBO. One has written that …

    “all the usual ingredients were present and correct: a carefully picked grouping of culturally diverse contestants, including the token middle-class white professional male, Lee a church minister from Bolton”…………..

    ” only Selasi, a City of London bank worker, kept his cool throughout and I’d put odds on him winning” …………

    “The rejected contestant was Lee – but then, he’s the token white, middle-class professional male”. You could have forecast the outcome”.

    I think she’s summed it up beautifully, and I shared her view – about (highly) Selasi being the winner. Ethnic (tick) Male (tick). Job done.

    Naga Munchetty is, laughably, described as a BBC journalist. She gets paid an estimated £250,000 for spending a couple of hours a day making childish and inane comments on breakfast TV.

    She is now described by the BBC as a “celebrity” and will be appearing in the forth-coming new series of Strictly Come Dancing, entitling her to another huge bung of cash on top of her already massively inflated salary. Remuneration for those that appear is reported to be between £35,000 and £100,000 depending on how long you last.

    When she appeared on Celebrity Mastermind (oh do stop laughing at the back) she told John Humphries that she loved her job because it allowed her to have every afternoon off so that she could play golf.

        But, one recent good piece of news is they have cut down the tax avoidance using personal service companies and put some people on the payroll. But I think that was just because of an HMRC investigation not public pressure.Typical BBC hypocrisy. Attacking tax avoiders then having to admit they were doing it themselves.

I know when working the in the NHS I had to produce signs for above the taps saying “Beware, HOT water” and that today’s parents are rubbish at parenting, but where will it end ? The over 60’s writing notes for their middle aged kids to take to the shops and the doctor ! Words fail me.

I suspect that many of the relatively less stupid have an unadmitted admiration for the way that Hitler and Mussolini controlled their populations and implemented their versions of political correctness.

    What they hate is Jews, Christians, the Working Class, people who are even richer than they are themselves, white people, truth, democracy, freedom, Muslim women really having a choice what to wear, independence, peace, happiness (for others), common sense, Conservatives, moderates, UKIP, anything that’s good for people.

    That was just a quick list – no doubt I’ve missed many things.

    This week’s Climate Change Weekly or Inside Science as the BBC calls it was unusually quite amusing.

    Apparently there had been a consensus among scientists that perturbations in Pluto’s orbit were caused by another planet that they named Vulcan. They couldn’t see it, they just knew it must be there. Then along comes that rogue Albert Einstein who does a bit of thinking and some calculations and ‘proves’ that by using his version of gravity rather than Newton’s everything works without the need for Vulcan!

    And all of this is very good and Einstein is a hero for original thinking and that is what science is all about.

    Then without a hint of irony we are literally plunged into the horrors of lakes of melt water in Antarctica, caused, as we all know by ‘Global Warming’, (the staple of this programme). Adam Rutherford tells his tame scientist how ‘worrying’ this must be. She, however, hasn’t got ‘the message’, these are after all little lakes, so it is only a little bit ‘worrying’!

    How I wish that the BBC would get rid of this dire programme and give us something like the old Material World, but then Quentin Cooper engaged in ‘humour’ that didn’t involve Brexit or UKIP, (but it did relax the guests and draw out real stuff from ‘inside science’).

        Cheers Grant. Spot on! Absolutely I can’t beleive I was hoodwinked for so long. The thing that did it for me was the migrant crisis: Al Beeb’s version all 3 year old picturesque children, reality: 18-25 year old sub saharan africans. Noticed it from that first boat that went out to greece with no children on it whatsoever. Also reinforced by the fact as a londoner (contrary to my parents enjoying the family home going up x £100,000 PA) I rarely hear a word of english spoken yet am told by the government immigration is 300,000 PA… What into my borough do you mean?

        Do want to say a quick thank you to the gracious posters here for being so welcoming and also so witty. An absolute joy to be welcomed into such a wonderful community. Thank you clever ones who spotted the bias well before I did.

          I think the BBC gave up any pretence of impartiality with the migrant crisis then compounded it with their blatant Remain propaganda. As for spotting the bias, I remember when I was a boy in the 60s, my late father going on about it even then. I thought he was nuts. Think I owe him an apology but too late now.

          I first posted here about 10 years ago when I suddenly realised I was not alone.

          By the way, does anyone remember Martin who used to post here. The one who was quite outrageous and always referring to Beeboids and their rent boys ? I hope David Vance didn’t ban him.

            Grant – same with my Dad I think lots of people from that generation who fought and lost friends actually realised the true value of freedom. These days for some youngsters freedom is just something to be bartered away for the price of a better phone signal or a bigger telly.

            Back in the 80 s I was overflowing with left wing zeal – Then I grew up and realised nothing is “given” . If we dont value democracy we will lose it to those who either through ignorance, pig headiness, naivity or cynical manipulation wish to change society for the worse.

      It was Merkel’s madness and the migrant crisis of last year that brought me to this site. More specifically, the straw that broke this camel’s back came in the form of BBC Berlin correspondent Jenny Hill. Who can forget her performance at Munich railway station on September 5th? I certainly can’t as it is seared into my memory.

      “Hello. Welcome to Germany. How do you feel? Excuse me, welcome to Germany. How are you feeling?”

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34162844

      “Hundreds of migrants, mostly from Syria, have arrived at Munich train station to applause after boarding trains in Austria.
      They are the first of thousands, who were stranded in Hungary before being allowed to leave on buses for Austria.
      There were cheers from a large group of Germans who had gathered to welcome them, with many handing out sweets and water.
      The BBC’s Jenny Hill watched as they arrived in Munich.”

      Note in the video how the camera makes a panicky and rapid zoom to the one woman and child amongst the stream of military age men.

      I don’t know what the boiling point of blood is, but on that day Jenny Hill led me to evaporate almost my entire circulation.

    A report on Wednesday’s World at One about May’s putative plans to re-introduce more grammar schools.

    ‘Brexit’ got a mention three times, each time for no good reason other than the reporter making up her own spurious connections.

        Lefties claim Grammar Schools benefit the ‘well off’. I suggest to the contrary they provided opportunity to all classes. There was a 9+ exam where the very clever were able to go to Grammar School a year early. Then the 11+ where the best (not richest) pupils qualified. Those who did not pass their 11+ had a further chance to take an entrance exam at 13. Then at 16 those who did well at ‘0’ Levels were able to go to Grammar School 6th Form. So there was plenty of chances for those who were late developers to benefit from a Grammar School education.
        As I remember, the 11+ used to be an intelligence test based exam so private coaching was not a significant factor and Grammar Schools had a very diverse representation of ‘classes’.

    In response to the announcement that Poles are now the largest foreign group in the UK (after only 12 years of Blair’s early acceptance of them, ffs!), the Polish charge d’affaires says this –

    ” Poles pride themselves in having the highest rate of individuals in employment or further education among all ethnic groups in Britain, at 92 per cent.”

    http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/poles-are-now-britain-s-biggest-migrant-group-6g3zcx9mn

    Given that most jobs taken by a Pole could just as well be done by a Brit, and that we pay them lots of benefits as well as the cost of their further education, it is no wonder that so much of the U.K. which has barely been touched by immigration voted for Brexit.

      “As I’ve often argued here, the great surprise about mass immigration to Britain is how well it works; how well we cope and adapt. The xenophobic backlash consuming politics on so much of the Continent has almost no equivalent here – and this isn’t because (as we hear occasionally) we’re somehow an island of immigrants. The remarkable truth is that about two-thirds of Brits are descended from the Stone Age grunts who occupied these islands 6,000 years ago. At no point in our history have we ever had immigration on this scale. What we’re dealing with is unprecedented, under-examined and still misunderstood.”

            But even their graduates here are taking the minimum wage jobs which our own school (and nowadays uni) leavers should be taking up, if we didn’t have a welfare system which allows them to exist at taxpayers’ expense.

            And as Migrationwatch have shown using Labour Market statistics, most are in minimum wage jobs which not only pay little tax but also consume benefits, and that is without the pressure on services. Dustmann & Frattini, the mis-quoted pair of EU-funded academics who Leftoids rely upon for their lying mantra that immigrants ‘contribute’ model THEIR assumption about benefit take-up in the UK on the academic level of immigrants on entry to the UK, the assumption being they will earn a lot more than MW. What use is a Czech PhD or nuclear physicist pulling coffees in Costa on minimum wage plus tax credits, especially if he/she has a family? No one earning less than £35k pa actually ‘contributes’ anything to the UK coffers when the cost per capita of £1.5k pa just of the NHS is factored in.

We defeated most of them militarily over the years, had a greater Empire which was better and more fairly administered than any of theirs and , today, are more economically successful than most of them.

              Add to that, the fact that we had democracy before them. Then, the last straw is that we voted Brexit. Hell hath no fury like Europeans scorned !

      Longer term I don’t view Poles as a problem. They’ll merge into the general population. Shorter term, any large group of incomers is going to cause resentment. It’s human nature and no amount of pious platitudes from the BBC will alter that.

      Of course, the reason Poles are talked about the most is because it’s just about permissible to do so. They therefore become a euphemism for the group we really mean but might lose our jobs for mentioning: the group that sets up snackbars around the world and outbreeds the locals whilst demanding the locals change to suit the incomers. When it isn’t sexually assaulting them.

      I don’t have a problem with the Poles per se, more the fact they have come over here in numbers that are unsustainable for our infrastructure (they are net beneficiaries, not net contributors despite that report the BBC keeps quoting).

      But I really deplore the EU’s role in all this. The spin we were given about the accession of the Eastern bloc countries was that they would get increasingly more prosperous with access to the single market (not to mention a teensy bit of financial ‘encouragement’ from the Brussels bureaucrats). Instead what has happened is that, because of the freedom of movement principle, life suddenly looks more attractive elsewhere for their young workers – especially good ole’ GB with its education, health service and welfare benefits. Result? The likes of poor old Poland are left with a deficit of the very people they need to help improve their prosperity and gullible ole’ GB is left with an infrastructure that’s groaning at the seams. Any prospect that they might return to their own countries having enriched themselves at our expense fades with every new set of population/birth statistics. And who can blame them.

      If the Brussels hierarchy didn’t work this out when the model was first being mooted then their collective IQ can be no greater than a gnat’s left testicle.

      On the other hand, maybe they just didn’t give a FF.

      Either way, it’s just another reason most of us voted for Brexit.

        Fair summary, but it is even worse than that.

        Much (of OUR) money is being spent by the EU on infrastructure projects and aid for building industrial competition in EE countries that, as we have seen, our companies are keen to re-locate to because local labour is so much cheaper than here.

        So over here jobs are taken by immigrants, we have to pay 2 lots of support, to our own unemployed and to the low-paid immigrants; the immigrants stretch our services, requiring us to invest more; immigrants remit home; the EU uses over £10 billion a year of our money to, inter alia, create jobs over there; our companies move there and we lose employment and tax revenues. It is a vicious circle and WE pay in so many ways.

And if I hear one more ‘commentator’ on the box say that the NHS couldn’t survive without migrant doctors, well it bloody well managed without them BEFORE migrants were let in wholesale ! God Almighty, listening to the media talk, you wouldn’t believe the UK existed before the last 25 years without migrant help. But then, 25 years ago those in the media were still at school, and now in young middle age they have no idea what this country was like before 1985. More migrants,= more health service required, = more migrants working in the NHS = more money being sent out of the country = migrants not exactly helping our economy.

        Guest – I share many of your reservations regarding this ban. It is certainly a “distraction” from the main issues which are currently swirling around us regarding the enrichers.
        I agree it also plays into the hands of the hand wringing pc brigade who will be only too happy to make the waycist allegation on the back of this. But then they would say that anyway!
        Having said that, there are serious questions regarding the “burkini” issue and in some ways maybe its similar to the Saint JO “hate” debacle in the referendum where the left tried to shame the population at large for voting for remain. But fortunately people had the sense to realise that they were being manipulated
        The fact that that mainstream politicians are willing to start dealing with issues as contentious as this could well show that the penny is starting to drop with many of the mainstream political class in France.
        Whether they will have the balls not to back down – remains to be seen.
        It is all pretty academic anyway as it is definitely too little, too late.

          I wouldn’t say is a “distraction”, every step towards the normalisation of the “Muslim way of life” is a small victory for Islam. Douglas Murray was unusually misguided when he appeared on Newsshite and seemed to be supporting the “we can’t do anything against the Muslim Menace as we would be undermining our democratic values” shtick. Exoletus Evans smiles as Murray confirmed the BBC line. Murray seemed happy to misrepresent his own views. The BBC, however, quickly forgot its “defender of freedom” posturing when the Mohammed cartoons were involved. Either the BBC were cowed by Muslim threats or believe that Muslim sensibilities are more important than telling the truth about a newsstory. Radio4’s Today team also seemed to be hyperventilating about the burkini ban. Two muslimas whine about members of the public looking at them askance while they skulk about in their ISIS uniforms. They then have the cheek to complain about the illiberality of western society. This from those who recommend death for apostacy, death for blasphemy and think Mohammed is a paragon of virtue to be emulated. If they truly believed in western liberal values, they would turn their backs on Islam. Frankly, I don’t care about accusations of “western hypocrocy” from muslims. I would rather be a live hypocrite than dead and unsinning in the eyes of the BBC.

            ID,
            Your comments re Douglas Murray’s spouting of the BBC Islamophilic line alarmed me because I had Douglas down as someone who is unafraid to tell the truth about Islam. So I watched Newsnight, something my doctor advises in small amounts only, on I Player. I didn’t find that Douglas’s contribution was anything less than his usual strong warning about Islam and excoriation of the west’s politicians who are afraid to even name Islam as a problem , let alone confront the threat it poses to the west. As usual the BBC gave the woman dressed in flowing robes and a headscarf the final say, she had earlier tried to equate the French government’s Burkini ban with some of the ISIL executions, such is the moral equivalence that the BBC allows on its programmes.But I thought Douglas Murray did his usual fine job in confronting Islamification.

              I am an admirer of Murray, but on Newsshite his wider points were ignored by Exoletus Evans. He, therefore, ultimately, ended up endorsing the “party line”. The usual “recruiting sergeant” bollocks.
              As you say, Murray pointed out that “to Burka or not to Burka” was a side show in comparison to mass slaughter, but if you do not have the resolve to check minor manifestations of islamification, you won’t curb mass murder by muslims either. At least the Swiss have realised the significance of minaret building and oppose it. As I say all these little pro Muslim changes normalize the “Muslim way of life” in the west. You could spend from now to eternity foiling muslim plots and traipsing after Jihadists to prevent them butchering someone. The problem is too many muslims and many gradual and gentle measures will have to be taken to make the west less conducive to Muslims.

                I would like to speak up for Douglas Murray for whom I have boundless admiration.
                Intelligent, well informed, articulate, he also manages to come across as reasonable and credible, and though he clearly feels strongly about these issues, he manages to keep his cool, often in the face of severe, sometimes hysterical provocation and of course death threats. He is also a realist and shrewd operator, and has come to learn which battles are winnable and worth fighting. By conceding the relatively minor point of burkini bans on Newsnight, he was able to refocus the debate on the much greater question of islamic terrorism and mass islamic immigration instead. Had he locked horns with the muslima he would have got bogged down in a stalemate at best and given ammuntion to his opponents that he was islamophobic, misogynistic, illiberal etc.
                (I have seen him on countless panels being goaded by beeboids and libtards of assorted hues, but by remaining calm and clear, he maintains credibility. Armies of Muslims, libtards and beeboids would dearly love to rile him and portray him as a rabid racist and thereby discredit him. He constantly walks a fine line, and if he were to rise to the provocation he would be dropped from ‘serious’ progs like Newsnight, or allowed to appear as the token Far Right nutjob. One example of his fine debating skills below, along with the heroic Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
                Ps. By ‘serious’ I mean of course who take themselves seriously.
                Ps. I happen to think the repulsive burkinis are important SYMBOLICALLY, but I suspect Murray had bigger fish to fry.

          Fair points Oaknash.

          The whole thing reminds me of a Perfect Storm of venality and idiocy as in ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’..

          Trouble is the ROP activists are much more media savvy, perhaps through marriage, with what pushes MSM and especially BBC buttons, with the French Fuzz delivering all that could be hoped for in spades.

          In the run down to pulling the iPlayer tab off the catch up (no loss as zero of interest for weeks), we have been watching a couple of cop shows elsewhere. One is called 19-2, and presents a very bleak Canada. However its portrayal of dilemmas and how the system is in thrall of the media and perps at expense of the officers is compelling, if depressing.

          Peter -The trouble is – is that this whole storm in a teacup has been elevated well beyond any significance as to whether a muslim woman does or does not wear a glorified bin bag on the beach or not.

          Personally I could not give a flying F###!

          However this has now gained a significance over and above any fashion concerns about black refuse bag beachwear – it is now turning into a Islamic/sharia foot in the door.
          Next step will be UK sharia rules only beaches. They know it and we know it – only the BBC does not know it.
          In the real world none of this would be tolerated (can you see Putin putting up with this)
          Whilst I agree that we should put a stop to this.I do not think our politicians at this point would have the political courage to follow through with any ban of this type.
          Unfortunately that will have to wait for a mass terrorist outrage to be committed in this country by the mentally ill – Only then will our politicians act.

          It is easy for the BBC and politicians to smugly look across the channel and think “that would never happen in the UK”

          Unfortunately one day the bell will toll for us too and that day is getting closer.

            The professionally staged Burkini photo is emerging as an Islamist scam. It appears the woman went there to be deliberately photographed. She was not wearing a burkini but a ski suit. She sat there and awaited the cops, with photographers apparently on hand.
            Meanwhile in London Black Lives Matter and others were interviewed by the BBC protesting against Islamophobia. These women protesters are fully aware of Islam and the status of women within it.

    Meant to post this yesterday, Radio 2 4pm News reporting on the drop in net migration, the go to ‘expert’ on the subject was Sunder Katwala (spot the irony) from think tank British Future.

    A little research on Katwala reveals [quote] “Sunder Katwala, a prominent left-wing activist and former director of the Fabian Society, a think tank that wishes to implement socialist government of Britain via non-revolutionary means. He is regularly cited as an influential political thinker. British Future works closely with other think tanks including Demos”

    Katwala is typical of so called ‘impartial’ ‘experts’ that BBC news give airtime to further its agenda whilst giving the casual listener/viewer the impression that their news is fair and balanced..

    I started the week asking about the BBC Radio 4 ‘Season of Pismronunciation’.

    Is it deliberate? I can well think it might be and at times – to spice up their working week a little – the Beeboids might just deliberately say something wrong on air and then run an office sweepstake to see who wins the pot for having the word or news segment that generates the most letters & calls from listeners.

    While that may be a possibility, there is an obvious modern suspect for these crimes. Spellcheck. As scripts are prepared for example, the spellchecker offers up ‘cased’ which is then repeated in every news broadcast – as it was one day this week – by an unthinking newsreader as ‘worst cased scenario’. (Think that may have been Wednesday on R4.)

    We’ve also had Liz Trussed (Liz Truss) or the Liz Trust at various times this week as well as Sir Gay Lavrov (Sergey Lavrov) this morning.

    Last week there was a hilarious moment when the spell-check remained firmly stuck in Woman’s Hour while a Newsreader dealt with an item about one of the US Presidential Candidates campaigning in the State of Virginia!

    This article quickly vanished from off the main BBC News website yesterday.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37180159

    “Social media giants ‘failing’ on extremism – MPs”.

    “Social media companies are “consciously failing” to combat groups using their services to promote extremism, say MPs”.

    Anyhow, it actually had a HYS and they(the BBC)were very quickly banged to rights.

    The two top comment before the article was hauled off were:

    1. “….says the BBC who welcomed Anjem Choudary onto Newsnight”.

    2. “Double standards?,

    A. Choudary has been a mouth piece for extremism for years.

    And you have given him the platform to spread his hate time and time again on air.

    You’re no different to the Social media giants.

    Well, there is 1 difference – I don’t have to fund the Social media giants”.

    To quote modern language “lol”

        “French” Algerian Muslims are becoming a pest. In France, they are responsible for most of the rapes, arson, and assaults. Now they have extended their reign of terror to Spain, Switzerland, and even Australia. That nice Chinese girl was stabbed just because she did not like a Muslim pawing her.

        When one thinks about it, Muslims were safely locked up in their countries. Britain accepted a huge number of Pakistanis. Once they were given citizenship, it allowed Pakistanis to roam the world, and spread mayhem. The French did the same for Algerians, and the Dutch did the Moroccans the same favour. Now we have allowed Somalis out of their cage by giving them citizenship.

        Essentially, Europe, has let these ferals out of their cages. We are now reaping the bitter harvest.

        What is one to do?

          Yep, the French Algerians are Frances problem-and now thanks to Sarkozy and D`Estaing with their Schengen crap-it becomes the rest of the EUs.
          The French made them citizens, no matter what once they left the Maghreb in the lost colonial wars of the early 60s.
          You`re French first-by dint of being born in French colonies, setting foot on French soil.
          How did THAT turn out then?
          Well-no better than the Germans who took their Turks and Balkan immigrants, denied them citizenship but only made them gastarbeiters. Well they had kids on German soil and became German citizens.
          Not by dint of being born on German soil-but because they were German by bloodline, with the new incorporated New citizens under Schroder(and Kohl was happy to assimilate them as if they were East Germans too).
          So BOTH models-by soil or bloodline; French or German-were tried out.
          But both led to here today, and now we know the common issue is Muslims who are Islamists first-and nique France, fuck Germany.
          Didn`t see this anywhere on the EU idiot boards of “How Europe has evolved”-but Sura 47:10-11 were Bin Ladens awed response to the twin Towers…and his helpers still study those couple of lines.

            Good post.

            I forgot Merkel’s contribution. She has let in millions of these feral Muslims from everywhere in the Muslim world. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Gabon, Gambia, etc. Uneducated, unwashed, and illiterate in their own language. She says Germany “can do it”. Do what?

            This is a mass invasion, the likes which we have never witnessed. It has been done not by force of arms of the invaders, but by stunning stupidity of European leaders. I fear that Europe as an entity is in its last phase. Pity.

            I just wonder if Obama had anything to do with it.

      This Muslim woman living in France, knew precisely what she was doing.

      France is in a state of war. The entire armed forces of the republic are deployed on full alert, as if the Nazis were coming over. This is because Muslims living in France, have been attacking France for the last ten years, on a regular basis. Major events in the life of the nation have been cancelled.

      The French have had enough. Then to provoke the French even more, this Muslim woman was made to get up to this provocation. Can you imagine what we would do in WWII, if some Germans living in Britain, dressed up as Nazis and walked along the Kent coast. Oh yeah. I can see Churchill seeing the funny side. Yup.

      Or imagine if Muslims attacked that Kuffar parliament, and killed a dozen MPs. Then a week later, some Muslim woman in a niqab, with a great big bulge, walked over to parliament square. Oh yeah. I can see the authorities seeing the funny side of it. Or maybe not. The niqab would have so many holes in it, that it would qualify as a bikini.

      The BBC might.

        Am indebted to Jim for finding the report.

        Sadly, the report doesnt say who the compilers are. However it would fit neatly into the soft left’s view of the world. It repeats the allegations of the rise in hate crimes without any analysis.

        For example, 1% of hate crimes are bike thefts, 8% of hate crimes are burglaries. Erm, hate crimes?

        However it shows its true colours with the following in the later pages:
        “The Committee also expresses concern at the lack of balanced teaching in the State party’s schools about the history of the British Empire and colonialism, particularly with regard to slavery.”

        I doubt whether that’s to educate children on how the UK ended slavery, first for ourselves and then around the world. Or how our royal navy sailors died freeing slaves. I suspect it doesn’t want UK kids to know about the 2 million northern Europeans the muslims took as slaves in the 18th century. This included 100,000 people from the southern counties of the UK.

    All today the BBC has had it’s nose in the 38 degrees trough, warning us all that the NHS ( an inefficiently monopolistic nationalised industry) is in yet another crisis. But who are 38 degrees? Yes they enable people to run campaigns but they are staffed up themselves to run their own campaigns it seems. Where are they on the political spectrum? Not in the centre or on the right, you can be sure. Their staff are all under 40 and of the St Jo Cox type, coasting alongside supporting left wing causes, perhaps until a safe Labour seat comes up ( or ex safe seat). I have just listened to one Laura Townshend the 38 degrees ‘ communications director’ on BBC Midlands news, announcing doom and disaster as the NHS rationalises its estate. Look her up and guess what? She’s spent most of her brief inconsequential career at Shelter, a left wing organisation posing as. Charity. 38 Degrees should join the Joseph Rowntree Trust as BBC left wing stooges.

    Here we go!

    The fool Brown thought that his money tree would produce abundant fruit for ever. As well as importing immigrants to become future Labour voters, he thought that having conquered bust, he could spread largesse around to those he thought ‘worthy’, mostly the idle and never-employed, but also working mothers and others who he thought would be grateful and so vote Labour.

    He hadn’t conquered bust, and when it came the crash cost a bomb, tax revenues dried up and the benefit claims didn’t, in fact ever more immigrants added to them. So government income drops, outgoings increase and the Government is soon borrowing to pay out benefits, borrowing 10% of GDP in Labour’s last (hopefully) years. This money wasn’t being invested as the arch liar Brown claimed, but was part of a growing structural deficit. Don’t forget that Brown doubled debt in a boom despite lying that he had reduced it. Al Beeb never questioned Brown/Balls/Mrs Bollox/MinimeMiliband about this paradox as they do the Tories nowadays.

    Little Ozzie reduced the deficit over time but didn’t do it as quickly as he should during the coalition years because of pressure from the Lib-Dums, aka Labour-in-disguise. Labour have voted and agitated against every proposed cut, aided and abetted by the HoL. If you need to be reminded of the concerted action to stop cuts proposed by Osborne in recent budgets you probably shouldn’t be on this blog.

    So without excusing Osborne, he did what he could and the deficit, the amount we borrow and add to debt each year, is at least only half what it was in 2010. At £70 billion a year though it doesn’t take long for the national debt to grow.

      Thoughtful,

      It’s not over,and it’s not being reported outside regional news.

      I see, so it was reported by the BBC:
      http://goo.gl/7d4BdK

      Were as this:

      Care home worker caught by horrified colleagues molesting elderly Alzheimer’s sufferer
      http://goo.gl/tKWNvP

      Was not reported by the BBC.

      Yet, for some reason, you didn’t think that worthy of comment.

      How peculiar.

      Apparently; “there is no such thing as racism”…

    Evening folks. Had a very interesting conversation with a french family on the beach today RE: Marine Le Pen. Had to pull it out of them but marine le pen “ces’t necessaire” was the words of the pretty french woman. The men (as per usual) didn’t seem to understand the problem. Bless em. Thank god for us brits ey – whilst they lie down we’ll fight for them. History repeating itself?

    Dated quite a few french girls myself and a common thread is the frenchmans apathy when needed most. Here we go again!

            Cheers Grant – greatly appreciated. I feel I am a dying breed. Grandparents originally from Hull, moved down to Londonistan for business reasons. I for one am not seeing our country go down without a fight! Also (as in post below) contrary to mainstream media there are far more of us than they’ll have you beleive. One of the easiest things about the liberal left youth is they are v v easy to sway… I for one will do my best. The older generation deserve it, I am truly disgusted to turn on the news nowadays and I feel we owe great thanks to the older generation who gave us the beautiful freedom too many take for granted

    Remember all those “Pray For France” “We are France” crap that the rest of us do in western capitals when the Muzzies strike as they do?
    We light up the Eye in Red White and Blue, blu-tac a fleur de lys by the croissant and brioche section of Waitrose or such?
    Well done-European Solidarity at its peak-must terrify Izal!
    Now then-let the good local folk of Nice or Corsica DARE to see the burkini as a provocation?Only a month after Nice, a month after the butchering of Jacques Hamel?…and it`s “fuck off France, you`re on your own!”.
    Do remember that NEXT time the Muslims strike in France…and thump a grief thief who won`t back the French now that they`re trying to deal with two generations of camel shit in the stables
    Wouldn`t normally care-but heard Toby Young, Ed Stourton and some self-elected leader of …dare we dream…the Womens Equality Partay?
    The WEP “made representation to the French Ambassador”…well who knew-remind me again…WHO are they?…and why are they on the radio, why shouting through The Frenchmans letterbox like they speak or have a presence in the UK?
    Only the BBC seems to think it.
    All as one-the ocean of the dullards, dead fish floating in the middle of the stream.
    Not a fuckin` clue…which is what appearing on the BBC tends to do to you.
    Prey For France indeed….

      chrisH – you should have witnessed the conversation I had – it was as if I’d asked them who would be the first person to land on mars despite the fact 250+ have been murdered courtesy of Allah (PBUH)! The woman in the group however was awake – the rest of them (and worryingly) the men just didn’t get it. They stood there in a “zut alors” way… Beggars belief

      I’m hoping to do my time in the city and go into politics. So please do not believe the mass media, some of us youth are very awake. I will always be spurred on by my grandads bullet hole in his leg, courtesy of the germans. I have the utmost respect for our older generation (contrary to al beeb) and most people are pretty easy to swing my way.

      Fingers crossed I can fulfill my life plan!

          Thanks Grant, really appreciate it. The irony in all this is that a lot of my friends are from a mixed race background and they absolutely agree with my politics. Its the main reason I get spurred on to go out there and make a change. I am disgusted with how yourself and my parents generation are treated, it must stop, now!!!!!!!!

              I agree about the Trolls.

              For them to have to read through each and every one of our posts to try and find something that they can be all devious and conniving with, is commendable. It must to be so embarrassing for them to be so let down by their cult leaders! Flogging a dead horse?… They have had to sacrifice any self respect to continue to fanatically defend such a failed ideology as theirs

              They must know that we think they are complete scrotums. A complete joke. They know that we think they are a complete bell-ends and we never take anything they say seriously. For them to keep plugging away at a lost cause is slightly sad… But makes us realise that if these traitorous vermin are not going to have a day off, then it’s all the more necessary what we do on here.

                It mystifies me what motivates them, unless they are paid for it and they always deny that they work for the BBC. What gets me is the complete lack of sense of humour, but that characterises the Left. They really don’t have much to laugh about.

                  What motivates them is blind, raging faith. As is often said, Leftism isn’t about facts that you can weigh in the balance – it’s about a religious faith. They are consumed with what they consider to be righteousness. It never occurs to them that they might be wrong.

            Thank you. Your comments too are a must. In fact this blog is worth reading all round. Even our trolls are a higher standard then on other blogs.

            What annoys trolls more then anything is being ignored. So do feed them, but occasionally.

    BBC Labour Luvvie Melvyn Bragg has a new series called The Origins of the North. He’s joined in this by a slew of other Labour leftie luvvies including Dame Judi Dench, David Hockney, Lee Hall, Jimmy McGovern, Ian McMillan, Geoffrey Boycott, Maxine Peake, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Chris Bonnington and Joan Bakewell.

    Not all of them Labour, but far too many are. It will no doubt be one of most biased heaping pile of horse s**t the BBC has produced.

    Revisionism here we come! No doubt it will be all those black men down the mines who made Britain great with leftie luvvie Bragg & chums failing to get it that those ‘black’ men were white men who were dirty with grime from hard physical graft – something Bragg & his mates have never had to contemplate !

      All willing enough to big up the North-but from the safety of Hampstead.
      Boycott and Hockney apart-why the hell do I need to hear from Maxine Peake from the RSC “Professional Northerner” casting couchette?
      Where`s Peter Kaye then?…Alan Bleasdale or Tony Harrison?
      See?..not all have to be my politics-but Bragg has dined out on Wigton Grammar for way too long…
