    9 Black Lives Matter anarchists close London City Airport for 6 hours.
    Footage shows dozens of police and airport security standing around them, doing nothing.
    Meanwhile, thousands of the poor sods known as the teavelling public have to wait.
    A spokesperson for BLM is then given a free run on the bBBC news.

    Why could not the protesters be rounded up in about 5 minutes, answers please.

      Could be wrong of course but I always thought the Civil Aviation Authority had carte blanche, a bit like HMRC, to ensure the safety, security and continued effectiveness of their properties. Why could they not simply instruct the police to clear the runway? Was it perhaps the police that caused such lengthy delays?
      Also it has been suggested that the BLMbarrassments swam across to the runway – carrying chains and a large metal tripod apparently.

      Yes it’s absolute nonsense. They could have been cleared off in ten seconds flat by the police. Even Westminster Abbey, I believe, has a policy of only allowing protestors one minute to disrupt services (disrupting a church service is illegal so even one minute is generous) and then they are removed by the vergers, by force if necessary. If a bunch of men in cassocks can do that why can’t armed police on a runway!?

        Victoria Derbyshire spoke by phone to one of the protestors ! it was beyond mental health. The child blustered on about City Airport being racist, how it was only wealthy businessmen that used the airport while the mainly black population lived in poverty within its boundaries. It was teletubbies stuff, the child had not the foggiest idea what she was talking about, so VD cut the interview short. WHERE do they find these people to interview ????

          I don’t really want to dignify the pathetic tantrum with an answer but, according to my youngest, who works in London but is not what I’d call “wealthy”, City Airport can make sense for ordinary folk who for various reasons might not want to spend time getting to Gatwick, Heathrow or Stansted. Easy access by DLR and no parking to add to the cost.

          Of course if you’re a complete loser who can’t hold down a reasonable job, anyone is fair game.

    So here is Andrew Benson the BBC motor racing correspondent pretending to discuss the career, apparently nearly over, of Bernie Ecclestone.

    Several photographs of Bernie with prominent F1 drivers, with subtitles informing the ignorant who the drivers are, nothing more.

    All except one, there is a photograph entitled “Ecclestone with Lewis Hamilton, who he says is the best world champion F1 has had”

    There is a word for this, ubiquitous, promotion of people because of immutable characteristics. Of which AlBeeb is the most earnest, accomplished and numerically superior example. Just Kill it.

      G,
      Your post was excellent.The picture from Austria of three migrants with a poster in English saying it was their right to stay in Austria just about sums up the mess that 30 plus years of liberal leftism has done to the west. These people have No right to be in Austria in the first place. The liberal left are well on the way to wrecking Europe and the USA. I’ m retired and until a couple of years ago I worried that my grandchildren would inherit a hell hole full of aliens with completely incompatible values to our own. Then I became worried that it would be my children who would inherit this mess. Now I think that it will happen in my lifetime.

    Controversial spit hoods to be trialled by Met Police
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37286499

    “A spit hood is a primitive, cruel and degrading tool that inspires fear and anguish,” Martha Spurrier, director of Liberty, said.
    “The suggestion that officers need to be able to cover people’s faces and heads is as far-fetched as it is frightening.
    “Spit hoods belong in horror stories, not on the streets of a civilised society – we urge the Met Police to think again.”

    Hang on a minute…,. wasn’t it just a couple of weeks ago the French police were getting a hard time trying to uncover a Muslim womans face in Nice?

    It is often what BBC news editors choose not to focus on that is as telling as what they do favour. A case in point is today’s report from the Crown Prosecution Service “Violence Against Women and Girls : Crime Report 2015-16.
    If you expect to find this highlighted on the front page of Pravda, you will be disappointed – there is a tangential link to “Revenge Porn”, the line taken in earlier broadcast bulletins covering this report, but nothing which takes a more strategic look at the overall numbers and trends.
    So here are a few points from the CPS report which Brussels Broadcasting seemed to have missed. I should add that there are no comprehensive data on this form of violent crime, many cases go unreported, as we have seen, and some data are simply not collected. To quote the CPS report, “CPS records do not include details of pre-charge decisions regarding sexual offences (excluding rape) and therefore cannot provide data on police referrals or charged defendants.” So with these caveats:
    i)The volume of rape referrals rose by 11% from 2014/15,
    ii)The volume of sexual offences prosecutions (excluding rape) rose by 23% compared to the previous year,
    iii) The total volume of prosecutions rose by 10%
    iv) and the number of prosecutions has doubled since the first year of reporting , in 2006.
    v) The actual number of “revenge porn” cases prosecuted was 206, while there were 118,000 cases of domestic abuse.
    The line taken by those interviewed who deal with this sort of crime was that the trend in increasing prosecutions is due to more people coming forward rather than to any observable increase in offences. Rug, broom, brush ?

      Sluff, why both traveling all the way to Chicago?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_Kingdom
      The compiled crime figures by the ONS for London in 2011 say:

      Of the recorded 18,091 such accusations against males, 54 percent accused of street crimes were black; for robbery, 59 percent; and for gun crimes, 67 percent.[25] Robbery, drug use, and gang violence have been associated with black people since the 1960s

      And black males are more likely to be the victims too:
      In London in 2006, 75% of the victims of gun crime and 79% of the suspects were “from the African/Caribbean community

      Black males accounted for 29 percent of the male victims of gun crime and 24 percent of the male victims of knife crime

      Though I am sure the figures have changed in the last few years. Watching the BBC I see the biggest crime epidemic is from white males with their viscous ‘hate crimes’.

      The report was pathetic rubbish.

      The reporter made a very brief mention of gun control. without mentioning that in Chicago it is extremely strict. It is very hard to get a permit to own a pistol in Chicago. Until a couple of years back, it was impossible.

      Every single gun seen in the report was owned illegally, and the men posing with them could face five years in Federal prison if they already had felony convictions. If the Chicago Police and its politicians cared, they could round them up and clear the streets of illegal guns and the criminals who carry them. They don’t. For some reason, they cannot be bothered to get to grips with this crime wave, even though they have every legal means to do so.

      Why they do not do it is the real story, but as ever the BBC ignores it entirely.

    Great news – BBC Radio Comedy isn’t dead.

    There was a brilliant programme this afternoon on Radio 4 at 3.30, called Costing the Earth. It was a wonderful spoof, showing what a radio documentary programme would be like if it was made by 11 year olds. As an example of its surreal humour, the first item told us how the Esso oil company had done some research decades ago which proved that man made global warming was real and that it would be a disaster – but then decided not to tell anyone. Of course for us grown ups it was hard to suspend disbelief because we know that western governments, the UN and the IPCC have spent billions on such research and haven’t been able to find any proof at all and have been reduced to making stuff up; but for the children who were supposed to be making the programme that was just an inconvenient truth that they could ignore.

    The second item was even funnier, when they interviewed someone pretending to be Lord Browne, who was head of British Petroleum when that company sent someone to the BBC meeting that decided that the BBC should become a propaganda organisation rather than a news service. Of course that meeting wasn’t mentioned in the programme as that would have spoiled the key joke in the interview about how oil companies needed to stop finding and producing oil.

    A classic comedy show, completely wasted in an afternoon slot. The comedians who scripted the show should get an award – unless it really was made by 11 year olds.

      That was a dismal episode from a disgraceful series. By what right does the BBC produce a free, weekly advert for the Greens? The Green movement is nakedly political. It seeks power, sometimes via the ballot box, often simply by nagging like a fractious child – and it is particularly successful at the latter. For the BBC to openly advocate its ideas is exactly the same as if it had ‘Conservative hour’ (as if!) or ‘UKIP and UKIPping’ in its schedule.

      It’s even worse when you consider the number of programmes this semi-socialist movement worms its ideas into. It is an absolute abuse of the BBC’s power that it champions this millennialist socialist cult as if its ideas were somehow not political-cum-religious.

Meanwhile the nonentity who is now Labour’s shadow education spokesman was given a very easy time. Snow had a very privileged upbringing- prep school at Winchester then St Edwards School Oxford. I had no privileges but by going to grammar school I escaped from a Mill Town and went to Oxford University .However much the Left hate it, there is no doubt that social mobility has declined as
      Comprehensives have replaced Grammars.

      Cloistered finger bob isn`t he?…and probably the ultimate lopping wanker in broadcasting.
      Tam Paxtown always the final destination with Snowjob….

    BBC Online News:

    “”Amy Schumer: Anyone who is not a feminist is insane””

    “”It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s too crazy””

    “”She said many who criticise Hillary Clinton do so unfairly””

    “”I haven’t had a conversation with anyone who doesn’t like Hillary where they’ve had anything meaningful to say. I think she’s caught so much flack for so long now, because she isn’t what they think of as a woman””

    On the topic of public sector juxtaposition……..
    Got my road tax reminder today. Comes with a code which enables you to pay on line. All perfectly efficient. Just park that thought.
    A relative recently had hospital surgery. There was a delay releasing them because they had to send their paperwork BY FAX from the hospital to the clinic and GP and they had run out of FAX paper !!!!!!!!!

    Readers will draw their own conclusions as to the efficiency and effectiveness of the ever sainted NHS.
    Personally the more I find, the more horrified I get.

    Bad news for the biased BBC. Old pal Vaz resigns. Old pal Anjem Chaudry is jailed.
    What can be done for the 10pm news?

    Solution. Ignore them and have as the main ‘news’ (and boy do I use the term loosely) a story about the high level of gun crime in …..Chicago (FFS) ….and of course focus on the black community.

    It’s just incredible. The cesspit depths they will go to to ensure maximum multiculti indoctrination and undisguised hatred of their country.
    Can an entire organisation be guilty of Hate Crime?

      Interestingly Trump has spoken about gun crime . His theme is that the inner city black community has been ignored and abandoned and that it has nothing to lose by voting for him. There is a recent rally where mothers of gun victims were pledging their support. Cannot remember where it took place though.

      I watched the gun report on the 10pm news and thought ‘News’ had been replaced with Panorama. Anything to avoid either Vaz or Choudry. The gun issue was not about something that is happening ‘now’ and fits the BBC anti-gun agenda. Drugs were mentioned but then conveniently forgotten. I have never known the news turn into a magazine programme before.

        if you can stomach it, watch the BBC news at six, and then turn over to ITV and watch their world view..

        It’s “Progressive” news, versus reasonably balanced news, and the funniest thing is, the BBC think that nobody notices..

      Chicago? Hmm.

      Remind me, which Black US President has political roots in Chicago?

      The name eludes me for the moment.

    Did anyone catch BBC’s commemoration of the great fire of London the other night? Presented by air-headed geordie DJ Laura Laverne. This involved the burning of a timber frame representation of 1666 London on a barge in the Thames. Cut to “life affirming” VT of youths gaining work experience assembling the wooden model: Arab in a Hijab, African in a hijab, arab looking gang member in a baseball cap, hijab….. Not a white-British or non-muslim youth to be seen. Hard to tell whether this was just the BBC ‘rubbing our islamophobic noses in diversity’ – or if the model really was being built exclusively by muslims. Either way I can’t imagine those youths had much affinity or interest in the history of 17th Century Londoners. Perhaps they were thinking about the 5th anniversary of the riots when they last torched the place.

      Chilli, It probably seems an accurate reconstruction to young people brought up on the BBC’s version of history. Doubtless they were taught 17th century London was built by its enriching Islamic population, who then fled England after their magnificent mosques were burnt down by the Islamophobic firebug Samuel Pepys. He then faked his diaries to put the blame on some poor sod of a baker in Pudding Lane.

    Ever quick to spot a trend, auntie beeb asks “Is Angela Merkel’s political capital running out?” One word: Dah!

    Note the pic of, literally, swivel-eyed loon to illustrate Right Wing AfD supprters. How they must have trawled the pic archives. Editor: “Find me a pic with a really bonkers looking bloke, preferably with his arms up in a fist looking a bit threatening and subliminally reminiscent of a Nazi salute” – “I’m on it boss”.

    Note also the ’cause’ of her fall from grace: “what appear to have been two attacks by asylum seekers inspired by the so-called Islamic State.” Only 2? That only ‘appear’ to have been Isis inspired? What’s all the fuss about? Ignoring the huge number of daily aggressions, intimidations, crimes, rapes, abuse, swimming pool ‘incidents’, mass train station sexual assaults, etc etc…ad_217980609.jpg?w=620&h=414&crop=1

      Not to mention the crimes covered up, unreported, misreported, attributed to ‘Germans’ called ‘David’ and generally hidden in a hundred ways.

    Burqa

    Mosque
