    Again, the MSM should note that the comments reveal nobody is fooled. Apart from a few lefties posting there who seem either wittingly or unwittingly confused about the whole thing.

      I’m sure the left-wingers are all lining up to condemn the attackers after all they keep telling us that women must be allowed to wear what they want (particularly if ordered to by their husbands). They all lined up to condemn the French for keeping certain un-French items off the beach which provoked understandable hostile reactions. They surely must be just about to condemn these people who want to deny women the perfectly legal and decent clothes that they want to wear.

      Yes, I can hear something…. Sorry, it’s only the sound of the wind blowing some tumbleweed down the road.

        If these Muslim ladies wade into the sea fully clothed are then dragged under the water by the weight of their clothes, who will the blame be placed upon if they drown ? Personally I cant see the attraction, if they want wet clothes clinging to their bodies just sit in the bath. We did it years ago to shrink our jeans.

    The government intention to allow and promote grammar schools will give the BBC and the rest of the left plenty to chew on for a while.They may even be so enthused by their outrage at this ‘Apartheid by intelligence’, as they would put it, that they will forget their outrage over Brexit for while. Imagine their agony , first the sacred cow of the EU is slaughtered by the mob and then their educational God of Comprehensives for All , is under determined assault by the PM. Obviously the BBC will soon be regarding the PM as a Thatcher clone and begin a determined , no holds barred, attack.We can expect wall to wall teaching unions , educationalists etc etc, on Toady, PM etc and several Labour MPs claiming we are returning to Dotheboys Hall schools.The teachers will threaten strike action , the BBC will propagandise on their behalf. The cry will be that all the progress in education of the last 50 years is being undermined.The fact that we slipped disastrously down the OECD league table from top six to mid twenties over the past 30 years will be ignored by the BBC. And of course those who make most noise will likely have been privately educated and also educate their children privately. The stench of hypocrisy is always strong when you deal with Labour or the BBC.
    This move to grammar schools will also flush out those in the House of Lords who believe that because there is no real opposition the HofC at present, it is their job to stop any legislation that liberal left elite don’t like from becoming law. Sooner or later the PM needs to curb the rebellious peers. But we on this site have been saying the same thing about curbing the BBC for years but nothing ever happens. Perhaps the new PM has something in mind for the detested BBC, I do hope so.

      Listening yesterday to the BBC the constant bleat was that a grammar school wasn’t fair to the less academic. Say it enough times and it becomes true. Perhaps we could start with the right school for the right child, specific schools for the children who are most able to build things or schools for the artistically gifted, ie be positive about the alternatives to grammar school education. You tell a child even once that they are a failure and therefore at a school for failures the prophecy will become self fulfilling. But we cannot expect the BBC, the Left and all the Labour Party members of the teaching profession to let children’s education get in the way of their agenda.

            Agreed-however personally the age of entry being 11 to Grammar Schools is far too young, why not make the age of entry 13, this would be fairer on those like myself who were (what was called, slow starters)finding my eventual brain development at about 14/15 as I recall. Was much happier, but did know others who went to Grammar School aged 11 that were found quite understandably to be struggling for some yrs. Every young person develops their education at different speeds of learning-some thought ‘stupid & thick’ by certain teaching staff, were later to show that was far from the case as one I know who became an engineer and ended up MD of a major concern. So if we are to have a growing Grammar School development, let the intake begin @ 13yrs of age.

              Way back, there were two entrance points to State Grammar School – the 11+ and the 13+. Both of these exams included a general intelligence test. For some reason the existence of the 13+ is rarely acknowledged. There were also Scholarships and various financial assistance packages (usually private and confidential) that ensured no child was excluded for reasons of low parental income.
              At the State Grammar school (900 boys including 6th Form) I was fortunate enough to attend in the 50’s and 60’s, there was a far wider spectrum of socio-economic groups represented, than the mixed Comprehensive (1600 pupils) my children attended in the 80’s and 90’s.

                I believe this late entry system was quite common, but the opponents of selection fail to observe this, and instead shed tears over those who are not academically able. Personally, if I’ve got tears to shed, it will be over the intelligent but retiring child, afraid to show its ability in a thuggish environment where getting the right answers and showing keenness is best avoided.
                I just cannot sympathise with those who bleat on about “elites”, when in all other aspects of life they are willing to fawn over and worship the best, even if they’re the best at something pointless, like running round and round a track. It infuriates me that academic ability is considered something to hide and be ashamed of.

          Quite right, but in fact it’s worse than this, because whereas bread and circuses, where elite performers are apparently OK, are just to keep the mob amused, schools will hopefully provide those who in future will carry out the essential development of the country, the engineers, the doctors (those who don’t flee to Oz), the pilots etc., and I would like to see the best candidates in such responsible positions. Sort out the most able, work ’em hard and reward them- in fact, reverse the present educational method.

      The BBC say the House of Lords is in uproar. Apparently the House of Lords, the only non-Democratic and Totally Elitist Legislature in the Western World, is against Elitism based on Intelligence and Academic ability.

      So this House approves of Elitism based on Monetary Purchase and Arse Licking. And even by Birth, as long as they elect themselves. But not by merit.

      It now looks like the future surviving power base of both the Labour Party and the Libdems, will be as hypocritical ermine gowned elitists, fighting against a democratic and merit based society.

      Also I saw them interview parents outside an inner-city School. There must have been a lot of support for Grammar Schools, because they actually allowed a broadcast of a parent saying that they thought it was a good idea because he could not afford to send his children to a Private School.

      The hypocrites claim to oppose Grammar Schools because, the less academic will remain to suffer as they do now, is actually an argument in favour of Grammar Schools. So as to prevent everyone suffering from poor education, including those who have the ability to escape from poor education.

        There was a programme a few years ago following children starting at secondary schools in Birmingham.

        The ‘young ladies’ at the Girls’ grammar school were encouraged by their new headmistress to ascend to the heights; meanwhile a poor white lad was worried about leaving his 99.9% ‘black’ primary school, shouted at to get in line and finally given a lecture about how every minor misdemeanor would inevitably lead to prison! Just to rub in the message the school had a resident policeman! The joys of a ‘comprehensive’ education!

    Woman’s Hour on Friday morning, Jenny Murray says that the stories about Muslims portray them in a poor light and as an example gave the story of three women with gas canisters in Paris a couple of days ago. To be honest and not really listening to the news, I had assumed there was only one Muslim involved. However I assume they did not have the canisters in the car because they were on their way to a barbecue. This was Mrs Murrays introduction to a group of women portraying a positive image of Islam.

    This was followed by a sorry about women in Lebanon who were dying their hair red, having it straightened and having cosmetic surgery. We never have similar stories about ladies from Japan, New Zealand or Iceland in this vein.

    Does the BBC not realise that they are no longer a station serving white middle class Britain? Until they deactivate the off button, we still have the choice not to listen to their propaganda.

      For your interest, I note that the producers of two consecutive prog’s on Radio 4 today – the ‘Woman’s Hour’ omnibus with softly-spoken troublemaker Jenni Murray (from 16:00) and then ‘Saturday PM’ (17:00 to 17:30) – both had Muslim-sounding names. Is this the result of affirmative action? And might it explain people’s perceptions here of BBC coverage of Islam in general?

          Your guesstimate of 30 k victims of Muslim rape gangs is truly shocking. I realised it was a large number but when you actually put it down , 30 thousand is sickening. And you are right about it being extraordinary that the society to which these girls belong ignored these crimes and allowed them to continue. The liberal elite and their propaganda machine ,the BBC , are disgusting. We , the British people, never wanted to have these awful Muslims in our country. We were never asked . We don’t want them now. The BBC can show as many heart rending pictures as the like, real or contrived, about the plight of these migrants , but it won’t change my mind , nor I suspect that of most Brits, we don’t want them here , and those already here should leave and go back to their country of origin.If the dim wit politicians won’t listen then we will find leaders who will.

            If you were to read about a third world country where a dictator sent in the airforce to bomb the Political HQ and Police Garrisons that allowed such atrocities you would probably agree that rough justice of this kind was necessary, given the crimes against the people.

            The child abuse inquiry is targeting famous person, but ignoring the elephant. In fact, it is designed precisely for that purpose- to transfer attention from Muslims to others. That does not mean that in any way excuse what others di, but the real problem is one that Muslims rapists did. Moreover, the treatment of young
            g girls was entirely in keeping with what ISIS, ( true Muslims ) do. Burt then what else would one expect.

I assume only Muslim women PCs will wear them, transgender PCs who convert to Islam won’t be allowed to. Pause ,but denying them the right to wear a burka would be an offence wouldn’t it? It wouldn’ t be respectful of their decision to reject being male . Oh well another case for the Sharia court. I also assume that they would wear all their PC bits and bobs , CS gas canister, pepper spray , baton, radio etc outside the garment , I mean it must take ages to find the right bit of kit rummaging around underneath the billowing black bin bag. Finally last week someone posted a nice picture of a high vis burka , surely the ones issued to police will be similar , otherwise motorists might not see them when they are on point duty and run em over. On second thoughts perhaps high vis is against their religious code, after all it does seem esoteric , if not to say peculiar, so they will need to stick to black and we will just have to take more care so as not to get one on the car bumper.

          Dead givaway signs are the presence of a toilet plunger and an egg whisk being pointed around – and also frequent use of words such as exterminate!

          This must be the explanation because you would never put a policewoman on the streets dressed in an all encompassing robe with limited vision and movement.

    The bBC its reporting on Vaseline Vaz and how he can only be innocent:
    Met Police considers claim Keith Vaz broke law
    The Met Police is to “assess and identify what criminal offences – if any” have been committed by Keith Vaz following claims over his private life.

    What the bBC doesn’t want you to know is that Vaz paid for his rent boy romps with money from a Charity he runs. Here is what the Telegraph has to say on the matter:
    The Charity Commission said it would look into allegations that the Leicester East MP and chairman of the powerful home affairs select committee used funds reportedly from an individual linked to the Silver Star diabetes charity to pay Eastern Europe escorts with whom he had a liaison at his London flat last month….bank statements belonging to one of the male prostitutes purportedly show two payments of £150 each received from a man linked to Silver Star.The first of these payments was made on Aug 5, three weeks before the alleged liaison, although the prostitutes claimed they met Mr Vaz – who is married with two children – on more than one occasion. There is no suggestion that anyone associated with Silver Star was aware what the payments were for, but last night a former trustee of the charity said the matter had to be investigated as a matter of urgency.

    He also failed to declare his interest at the council which would normally be an offence.

    And here is possibly the worst decision that a Tory PM has ever made in their first few months in office:

    Theresa May’s plans to relax admission rules for faith schools have been branded ‘regressive’ by a senior Tory MP.
    In sweeping education reforms announced today, the Prime Minister said faith schools will be able to select more pupils based on religion by removing the 50 per cent limit.
    But Conservative MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, chair of the health select committee, said the Government should be removing barriers in communities, not putting them up.
    She said allowing schools to select 100 per cent of their pupils based on faith ‘can have nothing to contribute to a more integrated and cohesive society’.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3781589/Senior-Tory-blasts-Theresa-s-regressive-plans-let-faith-schools-select-pupils-based-religion.html#ixzz4JmJEW0G4

    Of course Wollsaton is a Leftie speaking the usual leftie psychobabble but the government has told a bare faced lie in the way it has presented this policy disaster.

    It has used Roman Catholic faith schools as its example, but you don’t have to be Einstein to figure out that this is the go ahead for all Islamic free schools to be set up in the state sector and with state funding.

    Obviously this greed ridden woman is chasing that Saudi gold, and no doubt will be well rewarded for her betrayal when she leaves office.

    Islamic faith schools which largely teach Wahabist & Salafist Islam, have been shown to be teaching kids some incredibly intolerant views, and this move will simply serve to educate more terrorists in the obligation Jihad places on them, and the worthlessness of non Muslims.

        The French are now waking up, that if they dont do something quick, France will be lost to Islam. I have always maintained, since LGF days, that it will be France that will lead the fight against Islam. The French will not just fight with arms, just as the Americans and Brits do, but will attack Islam on the intellectual front. The French are good atrthis.

          It is strange how everyone I talk too (except for those on the left) know and understand the problem that Islam presents for civilisation. Even if they do not know the actual facts about Islam in any detail, you would have to be wilfully stupid not to get the essence of it, even from the so-called news presented by the BBC.

          Where the left have been very successful is through controlling what people know they are ‘allowed’ to say. What they say to me they only divulge after they realise I think the same as them. They know they cannot express these views elsewhere.

          The art of controlling what and how people think is fascism, pure and simple. The left have perfected fascism to a place where even most intelligent people don’t think to look for it.

          While most people realise Islam is a problem for the civilised west, the real enemy is the left. It is the stupid, arrogant, snobbish self-regarding left that have facilitated Islam to the extent where it now poses a real danger to all of us.

          The fascist left are not shy of using state violence to make sure the wishes of the people are suppressed. Let’s face it – we all fully understand what we are, and are not, allowed to think!

          Islam is the problem. The leftists are the enemy amongst us.

    BBC’s education correspondent Branwen Jeffreys couldn’t contain her bias with her opinions on Grammar Schools, but this was a particular gem of opinionated bias:

    “Inner city London schools have shown that comprehensives can help poor bright children excel. Many thought the debate about selection had become almost irrelevant. But this is post referendum politics, where the symbolic status of Grammar Schools as a chance to better yourself has trumped the expert consensus. It is an unashamed pitch to the values of non-metropolitan England”

      Lock13, our relationship is more akin to that of a battered wife to the big bully husband EU. As in most such relationships our leaders are frightened to begin divorce proceedings (Article 50) for fear of the threats made by the husband. When they finally sue for divorce it will take two years to reach decree absolute.

      Of course Cameron and the other remainders act more like the very typical battered wife who keeps telling herself that the husband will change (Cameron’s fictitious EU reforms) and everything will be alright in the end, so best to stick with the abusive husband. There is, of course, no real reason to think that the husband will actually change as the relationship has got gradually more unpleasant the longer the marriage has lasted, and he has given every indication that he will not change except for the worse.

      Also, they have been so cowed into a position, by the abuse, that they have lost any self-confidence to go it alone in the world any more, despite admitting that things in the relationship are very bad. That’s why it will take two years to discuss who keeps what but that only can commence once the divorce proceedings start.

        As for Theresa like many remainers, I think she is hooked on this abusive relationship and is probably tying herself into knots trying to think of ways to achieve as little as possible with regards to brexit whilst trying to present herself to the rest of us that she is committed to leaving the EU.

        Until she honestly commits to a serious brexit agenda . I am afraid that she will spend the next few years regularly walking into “EU doors” Thats the thing in abusive relationships it takes a certain amount of courage and honesty to admit you are within one. Until you realise it yourself then you will never truly be able to leave.

        At the end of the day it is quite simple you say “I am going” you then pick up your belongings and go. The longer these phony negotiations go on for the more likely it is that EU will be able to hobble us and prevent our departure in any meaningful sense.

        Remember these bastards wrote the book on duplicitous bureaucracy, and have been doing it for years.

      It is not the schools job to reduce “inequality”-nor is it the Treasurys either.

      When these people pay taxes-we`ll do fine; when they create new ways of doing things-we`ll all prosper.
      The Left only wants its own thick spawn to clog the best of Britains options for clever kids-especially from poor backgrounds who are as frequent in the population as are any other ability.
      And no end of time and effort should be used in reminding the Left of Harman, Falconer, Kelly, Blair, Abbott, Milne, Benn, Snow, Corbyn, Meacher-ALL privately educated, ALL using grammars or private schools for their OWN kids.

    So, I see we have a migrant from Cameroon (via Paris) in our midst. He is training courtesy of the NHS funding at the local tech to be a psychiatric nurse. Meanwhile he is syphoning off benefits from us taxpayer to keep his brood in their luxurious state. He has 8 children with the usual several hi viz tvs, games and assorted gadgets, and has been rehomed 3 times in accommodation with 3 plus bedrooms – he has turned down a 5 bedroomed house claiming it to be too small to house his offspring. He is outraged that the council are not finding him suitable accommodation. Well, if we are filling our NHS vacancies with overseas migrants of this ‘calibre’ then its a price too high to pay. There have been calls to send him and his family back from whence they came, but I fear it will come to nought, and so we have another 8 potential African families to feed and water for the foreseeable future.

    Sorry to drag everyone to the post by Maria (quite a few posts ago now). Maria, thanks for the great post it is very informative and just demonstrates the power the left fascists now have over the police but this can be extrapolated to all the other public services. But particularly the police – they have systematically been taken apart by the politicians, the media, the left (particularly the bbbc) who lose absolutely no opportunity to belittle, undermine, denigrate or criticise the police in any possible way. The chief officers are now so subservient to any politically correct whim or policy that can be invented. They have little or no authority to resist or God forbid it to say no to any left wing, politically correct policy because they will just be replaced.I should think the morale of the average white policeman is through the floor they are just becoming a joke.

            Yes Dave, I wonder about this too. When it comes to civil unrest to what extent will the police follow orders to shoot and otherwise violently suppress members of the public who are not expressing the correct opinions?

            I suspect the army get less nonsense such as ‘diversity training’ than the police. The purpose of diversity training is, of course, to inculcate a dislike towards – and a dehumanisation of – the indigenous population. All training such as this is intended to program the recipient so they don’t need to think, but just know that ‘white is bad, non-white is good’. This makes it much easier for them to use violence with a clear conscience as it has been pre-justified by the training. After all, they are only eliminating enemies of the state – surely that must be a good thing?

            The army I suspect is less affected by this sort of training, so may be less likely to act against the population.

            I hope we never find out, but I suspect we will find out soon enough.

        That shameful episode should be shown to anyone who doubts the BBC’s single minded assault on our allies and our western values.

        Not a single panelist, nor member of the audience, begins their reply with their anguish over the 9/11 cowardly attacks. Nor does anyone find it in their hearts to send their condolences to those who lost loved ones and whose lives would never be the same.

        It is a relentless assault on the American people, and the West, that inevitably arises given the make up of the panel. Only a handful of people in the entire audience seem to understand why we were in Iraq at that time and they were howled down by the baying ignorant.

        Every time I see it I cringe and feel a need to write to the US and say the BBC does not represent this country, nor does it reflect the views of any individual with a soul.

        Those involved in producing that program may have smirked with delight during its production. I just hope that as they have now grown up, seen a little more of life, they share our shame that it should ever have been made.

          Let’s hope so, but I doubt they will have. Being ‘on the left’ is a faith-based belief system, so not susceptible to evidence or logic that contradicts their beliefs.

          With absolute-zero levels of self-awareness, those on the left just dismiss anyone with contrary views or evidence as ‘fascist’. It is beneath them to provide any reasoned counter argument – because they never have one.

          The reality is, that it is the USA that is the guarantor of freedom. It is America that put its neck on the line to defend these creeps, and the West. It is America that has subsidised the defence of Western Europe for 50 years or more, to the tune of trillions. There would be no NHS without that subsidy. The subsidy is still there. And that is what is scaring Europe about TRrump.

          Modern Germany, and modern Europe, would not exist but for the USA. Were it not for the USA, the future we had was in the Gulag, with half the population dead.

                Europe has no long term or medium term future as a stable entity thanks to a collective insanity on the part of it’s ruling class. The Visegrad four are immune from this and in my opinion cannot stay in the EU as it is. We shall have to see.

        I remember this programme only too well. It was only two days after 9/11 and the death toll was then thought to be over 6,000. I recall the American ambassador being understandably in tears at the end of the ‘debate’, and for the first time I felt deeply ashamed of my own country.

        In hindsight though it’s as if we were being given a peek into the future … the shape of things to come. The BBC was of course biased in 2001 but generally nowhere near as much as it is now. But this Question Time was saying to us: ‘This is what we’ll be like circa 2016 so get used to it.’

        Good to know that others on here remember this though and feel as I do.

      In the car yesterday listening to Radio 3. Informative voices and good music in the programmes. Then the “News” comes on. A few minutes only, but the bias was concentrated.

      The brief resume of the grammar school story began with the “news” that MPs from all sides of the house were mobilising against the move, and ended – tellingly and emphatically – with the word “disaster”. No alternative point of view. That was the beginning and the end of it, according to the BBC. A brilliant example of how to use neuro-linguistic programming to make a point.

      What I cannot understand (though I know many on this site have their theories – and I’m beginning to think they might be right, as there is no other logical explanation other than institutionalised laziness and self-preservation among BBC reporters) is why the short summary could not have kept to the facts alone. Or taken the angle that many of the proposed new grammars would be built in poorer areas, and found some good intentions in that. Or any positive at all.

    Branwen Jeffreys’ article this morning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-37315832 on grammar schools illustrates very well the day-in-day-out bias of the BBC in its everyday reporting. The article is polemical, rather than dispassionate, news reporting, putting forward a particular (naturally, left-wing) case without considering alternative views. And it is reinforced by emotive language:
    proposals have “triggered an avalanche of criticism”(!!)
    even supporters of change “taken aback”
    “many thought” the debate about grammar schools “irrelevant”
    “post-referendum politics”: “symbolic status of grammar schools as a chance to better yourself has trumped the expert consensus” [she means the Blob!]
    “unashamed pitch to the values of non-metropolitan England”
    Government hopes to “appease” opponents
    new law to be “pushed through” Parliament
    “risks” of allowing selection to be extended
    grammar schools “driving” extension of selection
    “disbelief and horror” that “some bright pupils might be cherry-picked”
    “many will look with interest” at new data, in the hope that it might discredit claims about grammar schools.

    I mention this not so much as an exceptionally bad piece of journalism (though it is bad) but because it exemplifies the fundamental, almost unconscious, bias of the BBC approach to news journalism.

    The letter writer queried why they should support parents and teachers setting up a school with private finance in the face of oppressive establishment authority in the Victorian era but are so opposed to the same in the Elizabethan era i.e. free schools.

    I suspect it is because socialist governments have produced the oppressive establishment authority with their one size fits all education dogma!

    Just had the misfortune to watch a 2013 British film called Closed Circuit. The plot featured a suicide bombing in London that killed 120 people and the subsequent arrest and trial of the alleged Islamic mastermind. However, this being a product of the British film industry it was quickly established that the mastermind was an MI5 agent and the real blame lay with a corrupt Government, a particularly evil Attorney General and an out of control MI5 who went on to have a whale of a time murdering journalists and defence barristers willy-nilly. Basically it was a crude attempt to erode confidence in the British authorities and security services in the fight against Islamic extremism.

    What’s all this got to do with the BBC? Well early on John Humphrys playing himself interviewed the panto villain Attorney General in a radio studio. The BBC and Today were not named but it wasn’t much of a leap to conclude that this was the show being represented. I was going to ask what the hell Humphreys and the BBC were thinking adding authenticity to such a film but I think we all know the answer to that.

There was a a thick Scottish -accented gentleman enthusing(I think) about a forthcoming derby between two Glasgow football teams. The pips went and Radio 5 live enthused about a great day of sport ahead- a football derby between two Manchester teams(guaranteed to whet the appetite of this Leeds United supporter) and a full day of paralympic sports where apparently we have just won very many gold medals, not to mention the forthcoming boxing match between Biffer and Bosher, exclusive to radio five live.

      By the time we`d have worked out Shamis` links to Tariq Ramadan, say-well there`d have been bookwork,”Who`s Who” a bit of Anthony Sampson-type detective work.

    One of the areas Britain really need to improve on is our exports, so when Liam Fox a Tory minister gives a speech which criticises ‘some’ business leaders for preferring to spend a Friday afternoon on the golf course rather than chasing overseas orders.

    Of course Fox was heavily involved in the Brexit campaign, and the BBC makes no bones about this. The people the BBC bring on to talk about this are both very angry about Brexit and blaming him personally for the Brexit.

    An example of total left wing pro remain bias.

    The TOADY crew seem to be a little conflicted this morning. Liam Fox has apparently ‘attacked’ corporate bosses. Cheers from the Left! “But how can we use that to attack Treeza if we ‘like’ it?” “OK, we’ll try and use this to cause division between the Three Brexiteers and between them, their Party and all those corporate chiefs who fund the Nasty Party.” Mishal is lined up as she has a good line in sneery voices for continual references during the programme.

    John Humphrys, fresh from showing a great pairs of gums to his old sparring partner David Blunkett, is particularly and spectacularly toothless when faced with an apopletic Richard Read (Who?), turning on the outrage amplifier and winding the dial to eleven. John wasn’t sharp enough to ask if him if he was a Labour supporter and a Bremainer, just to get the interests declared for the benefit of listeners.

    No-one at the BBC, especially on the TOADY programme, has a memory good enough to remember David Cameron AND George Osborne saying exactly the same thing as Fox in 2010, 2011 and 2012. They went off on international trips doing some selling for UK PLC. With some success, I seem to recall. Which is possibly why the BBC TOADY Producers and Editors will not want to remember that.

    Of course the BBC will not remember how in their champagne-addled Blairy Glairy Glory Years, the CBI Chief would be on Radio 4 complaining on behalf of his members that the £ was too high and it was driving away potential customers and making selling abroad ‘impossible’. No one at the BBC would know to – or if they did – bother to challenge that statement with the fact that Switzerland, Germany (pre-Euro), the United States, among others managed to export more abroad even with appreciating currencies. Nor did they challenge the same CBI chief when he was back on the radio a few months later complaining that the low £ was making life difficult for CBI members needing to import raw materials for their businesses.

    Wot, no Brexit story?

    BBC Breakfast at 8am where head line news item is the Paralympics – (nothing to do with Oscar Pistorius)

    Really there’s no excuse for this – it’s not the BBC but Channel 4 which has the broadcast rights. Pure agenda programming for the BBC to head line this minority interest item as the top news story.

    Meanwhile BBC Newswatch – or should that show be retitled The Unrepentant

    Samira Ahmed highlights several BBC News failings:
    BBC slow off the mark with the Keith Vaz story
    Odd priority given at the top of the 10 o’clock BBC1 news to the Chicago gangbangers report
    BBC obsession with Brexit non-stories

    Of course the BBC is pretty comfortable that they got it all about right.

    The only point of interest was the assured self-importance of their female news manager interviewed by Ms Ahmed as she explained the BBC Brexit coverage. Apparently this is a hugely important issue and the BBC is most keen to explore it in all its complexity and ‘explain to people how it will affect their lives’ – do we reckon that will be a fair assessment?

      I have to say that while it is possible to criticise white people, it is absolutely impossible to criticise Muslims without some non Muslim social justice Fascist screaming & shouting their bile at the top of their voice.

      Far too many people especially in the public sector are afraid of being called the meaningless names that Political Correctness has invented.

      And so they go as far as they think they can – reporting the issue, and then leaving it to others to say what they feel they cannot. Radio 4 interviewed someone who was very guarded about the issue with Birmingham Police and the insane Burka idea, again brought about by political correctness, it’s clear that no one thinks it is a good idea, but the spectre of being called a meaningless name is forcing them to follow a path which is clearly mad.

      Of course Fox is right-had he confined it to the EU troughers of BOTH private and public sectors( NHS quacks, quango chiefs, academics and media -as well as the organics, hippy energy wallahs like Reed)-then he`d have hit a wider target.
      No EU-bloody hell, might have to actually find veins of our OWN to drain now for leeching off the poor and the working!
      So-as I refuse to get a coffee at any place where the Guardian is offered as a free read-I will now boycott any place that sells Innocent squashy fruity mush…starting with the supermarkets..if that means I go to Spar by our motorway for the big shop, then so be it!

    Absolutely disgraceful piece of deceitful and bile inducing piece of propaganda/lies on the Islamic Al Beeb webshite this morning.

    “Muslims begin annual Hajj pilgrimage” is the headline, but why the f#(k would we want to know about that!!! This isn’t news my friends, this is the Islamic Al Beeb going into full on brainwashing!!

    Just read some of the utter bullshit, misreporting, denying, and lies the Al Beeb use in this sermon..

    “They are making the same journey as the Prophet Muhammad did about 1,400 years ago”….firstly, he ain’t no prophet of mine!! If he is a prophet then Christianity and Judaism is not required and Islam IS the final word of God, and Islamic fucking state are justified in what they are doing!! … Are the traitorous bastards at Al Beeb now saying that the religions that built this country and the West are void??? Scumbags!!!
    Secondly, isn’t it convenient for this act of Muhammad to be a special thing, yet mass rapes, beheadings, wars, genocides and marrying 6 year old girls isn’t… How does that work Al Beeb??

    Next… Some complete lie about “this pilgrimage is for everyone to be seen as equal in the eyes of Allah, when we already know that even Muslim women are worthless in Muhammads teachings, never mind what Islam teaches about the infidels!!

    And the biggest piece of deceitful, conniving, misreporting and childish statement I have ever read in my life!…..

    “Iran is not sending any pilgrims this year, after it and Saudi Arabia failed to reach agreement over Hajj arrangements amid a diplomatic row.
    Iran believes the Saudis are not doing enough to secure the safety of the pilgrims, while the Saudis accuse Iran of making unreasonable demands.
    The two countries do not have diplomatic relations and are at loggerheads over a series of regional issues including the conflicts in Yemen and Syria”….
    …..so it’s nothing to do with the fact that Sunni Islam wants to wipe Shia Islam from the face of this earth? It’s all to do with democracy people!! You couldn’t make this up! You have surpassed yourselves with this one Al Beeb!

    The left and the bBBC are never slow to shout about inequality. But the swimming example to me provides a great example of that Animal Farm observation that some animals are more equal than others. Their equality is only that which suits their totaltarian, statist, narrative.

    Wet morning watching the Goodwood Revival live on Facebook and in reflective mood. Attended the Revival yesterday – the absolute antidote to all the threats to our way of life that this site is so good at identifying. Funnily enough 130,000 participants, no arrests, no reported crimes, no stabbings, in fact no police – except those in period dress – and presumably not actually policemen. I walked past probably hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of unattended racing equipment in the paddocks. I’m certain not so much as a spanner was pinched).

    I recently read Tommy Robinson’s book ‘Enemy of the state’. As those who have studied Tommy’s case know, he himself presents himself as no angel, but it’s difficult to look hard at him and call him a racist – or even ‘far right’. He describes the motivation of the EDL in the early days as purely to voice protest at the Islamification of his home town – Luton. The people the EDL attracted were as he described them, largely working class labour voters with little interest in politics. However he and the EDL are almost universally described as ‘far right wing’.

    So it has been occurring to me that something odd is taking place in British politics. I have for a while thought that Britain is not so much divided into left and right as even we at BBBC still refer to, but perhaps more accurately into the ‘taker and the makers’. Who are the makers? Well the rump of small business owners, sole traders and others grafting away in the private sector. And the takers? Largely the bloated public sector that has grown and grown to now represent 50% of our economy.

    This private/public sector equation has changed out of recognition in my lifetime. Graduating in the 80s, my cohort had a simple perspective as we thought about our careers. First choice was a well paid job with a blue chip company, second was whatever else you might get in commerce or law. If you were likely to get a third class degree (plenty did then) you were destined for a job in the public sector, relatively low in prestige and pay.

    So what do things look like today? Well the ‘takers’ almost out-number the makers who pay for them. Average pay in the public sector is higher than in the private sector. Hundreds of BBC managers paid more than the prime minister. Likewise in the NHS. Cushy numbers running charities on six figure salaries, quangos, think tanks – it’s endless. And to pay respect to the old left-right paradigm, all of the ‘takers’ are peddling a left wing agenda.

    Curious too how the rise of the ‘takers’ has coincided with the near collapse of the actual political left – clearly they have never been in such disarray. Maybe though they haven’t been so daft after all. While the traditional right has been busy winning at conventional politics ‘running’ the country from parliament, being entrepreneurial and starting and running businesses, the left has quietly stolen the show. They have lined their pockets, rewarding themselves hugely while doing undemanding jobs, dominating political opinion through BBC and other propaganda channels, and stifled all real debate through the iron rule of political correctness. Perhaps the makers need to wake up and smell the coffee and show a bit of the low cunning of the takers.

      As I said, “look at the people”. Different set of people, different standard of behaviour.

      Some people, including one or two here, are not prepared to face up to that reality. Defenders of the NHC like to pretend that a high crime rate must be expected within any large gathering of people. Simply not true.

              Please tell me you didn’t just list your exam results from 30 years ago in an attempt to prove your not stupid.

              Tragic.

                  So prey tell us why your not stupid…

                  Hmm, that’s a tricky one. Possibly because I don’t use the word “simples”; which seems to be a pretty good indicator of stupid on this site at least.

                    It must have been tricky, because you took your time to answer that one eh. Did you have to run over to get that answer from your supervisor ?
                    Still no defence or bias about Al Beeb from you though ?
                    Therefore you should loose your privilege to posting on this site.

                      Yes that’s right, taffman. There’s a whole team of about twenty people here at Broadcasting House pouring over your every word, discussing strategies, and drawing flow charts on a glass wall with crayon.

                      All leave has been cancelled since you started posting on B-BBC. Divorces are common, and several colleagues have committed suicide. But if we can just make it through the next few difficult months I think we will be okay.

            We may well need grammar schools-but maybe you could start with punctuation and spelling ones first.
            Your second sentence puts you in the Duntz Sexshun…but well done on trying for “miniscule” nonetheless.
            Did you actually mean “miniskirt” or “meniscus” ?

                Punctuation next eh?…that second sentence deserves a bit of chequing eh?..feel I should get the red pen out, but it might remind you of blood, and make you sad.

            In actual fact I’ve led a very productive life, now retired in the Yorkshire Dales with considerable financial security.

            Thanks for the words of concern, but not really necessary. Not sure why you assume I’m white though. I’ve never mentioned my ethnicity. You might be surprised although I have dropped vague hints from time to time.

            And BTW, I’m not exactly crushed by being called a racist. In the mouth of a fool like you, it’s very reassuring.

            I also have the courage to use my real name.

        # LGBT Setting (welded on) – Be protected from any content that features white male & females engaging in Heterosexual(hate word) shenanigans.
        # Hacker Protection – Free copy of the Koran to learn: might save you getting your head hacked off.

    BBC Online News:

    “”The street that voted for Brexit: What happens next?””

    “”It’s a long street that’s mainly built up of terraced houses whose front windows are dressed with net curtains or newspaper and whose front doors open straight on to the road””

    “”A small boy half-heartedly kicks a deflated plastic ball in and out of the parked cars and a dog, home alone in one of the terraced houses, repeatedly yaps his indignation””

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37306646

    A portrayal that depicts Brexit voters as losers.
    Why not one of the many affluent streets that voted Brexit?
    But that wouldn’t suit the BBC’s biased anti Brexit stance.

    Get over it BBC. You backed the wrong team and lost. Just as in the General Election.

      I was originally raised in one of those terraced houses that open onto the pavement.
      In fact some of my family members two generations back lived on the same street for 50 years.
      Naturally, in 1919 these good people, all white anglo saxon by the way, put out the union jack bunting and held a street party to celebrate the end of the Great War. I have a photograph to prove all of the above.
      In 1944 the army guy three doors down went back after his leave. He never came back.

      So when the disgusting biased BBC champagne socialists start to lecture us and try and demean us for voting Leave, you’ll forgive me if I consider them to be excrement of the lowest order.

    The BBC “Muslims begin annual Hajj pilgrimage” website report:

    I’m not only not interested in this, I’m anti-interested. I actively do not want to know anything more about this ideology. I can’t remember who originally said it, but I am also “all Islamed-out”.
    I had a decent education but hadn’t considered Islam to be any part of my history or culture. Asian people in the UK had their religions and cultures and were very welcomed to follow them. Religions seemed to get along perfectly ok in the background. Islam was hardly mentioned mainstream before The Satanic Verses.
    Now it’s in our faces everywhere. Because of that, I’ve been forced to learn a lot about it and what I’ve learned makes me fearful for the future.
    It feels like the BBC and the rest of the wannabe beeboids have been tasked with the job of preparing us, getting us ready to accept a gradual, planned cultural shift. The endless drip-drip coverage of Islam has the distinct whiff of indoctrination, brainwashing, acclimatising us for the inevitable change.
    All this is becoming increasingly transparent. I know when I’m being fattened up and Islam-ready.
    Beeboids must know people are waking up so their task is getting ever more obvious with this desperate blanket PR campaign. The question is will enough of the sheeple wake up in time to make a difference?
    We did with Brexit, but a slow cultural change is a much more slippery eel, especially with the msm and much of the establishment acting as a fifth column.

          It was unnecessary, I agree. But if meeting a comment you’d prefer hadn’t been said is viewed as a reason for leaving, it may be better to avoid all internet chat sites. Or a less drastic solution might be to explain to the person concerned why you think the comment is unacceptable.
