      And it is said to have upset Angela Evil too….more Sir Nigel more!
      AND-she says there ought to be a law against it-what else do Labour say to things…unless its postal voting, FGM or child abuse by Muslims in their northern towns?
      Still eh?…few more years and the North will be Purple Reign for the first time.
      Straight choice(oo er!)-is the future to be Eagles or Nigels?

      Oh dear-Councils want to nosey around home-schooling families due to …er, how do we put this…”religious vulnerabilities”.
      One of the Four Horsemen seems to have a Trojan one?
      These of course being the selfsame councils whose care in Childrens Homes of Islington, of Rotherham and of Rochdale etc, etc seems to have been “disappointing”.
      No folks-would rather NOT have my kids checked out by a Paul Flowers, a Chris Woodhead or a Keith Vaz…ta, all the same though.

        To be fair to Ms Eagle, just this once as I am feeling benevolent, I got the feeling her remark was very tongue in cheek Chris.
        It is difficult tell though as many other highly comical remarks from AQ & QT panels are treated as gospel (or equivalent depending on religion, cult, etc:) and lauded as such.

      Quite a shock and a breath of fresh air to have a major politician who is “normal person” rather than a PR polished left wing automaton such as Cameron/Clegg etc

      I am sure the likes of Toynbee and the Abbott will both need a safe space to recover from the shock that a UKIP supporting, non binary, non LGBT white man was butt naked on a beach at midnight. And not only that – he was there just for pissed swim and not the more politically acceptable LGBT funny business on the beach!

      Maybe they will be forced to start a new “Black speedos matter” campaign to ensure that he doesnt offend their delicate sensibilities again!

      Michel Hollebecqs “Submission” book of last year brilliantly shows how Islam and Lefties can dovetail together to keep the patriots and real peoples will out of office and the nest featherings…before the tar and feathers….then the neck wringing and throat cuttings.
      So-to be fair to Momentum-it`s what they do-logical.
      France is good as Judenrein these days-sure as hell we`ll NOT be allowing that here…and the likes of Corbyn , McDonnell and Galloway etc will-like Brexit-be judged on how they view Israel…before the judgement to follow.
      Islam will do no other-how can they do other?
      But the LEFT?…well that`ll be OUR job to convince them that bullying any Jew or Friend Of Israel is not a good career move.

    I recall the event to present the ‘findings’ of the ‘investigation’ by Labour into anti-Semitism within the party. At the time I didn’t pay much attention to it but I stumbled on a video of it yesterday:

    From 17m 10s in, Ruth Smeeth, Jewish Labour MP, is insulted by an anti-Semitic member of the far-left fascist group, Momentum, with his little conspiracy theory while far-left fascist Jeremy Corbyn does nothing to intervene and Smeeth walks out.

    Especially damning is his warm interaction with the afore-mentioned anti-Semite at 18m 45s in. And it’s worth noting that this is from a man who seldom smiles.

    I have no doubt that Corbyn and sidekick McDonnell are anti-Semites. They have been rubbing shoulders for far too long with their Islamic terrorists friends to remain neutral on the issue.

    Apparently Corbyn is going to be elected leader again next week and will hopefully remain leader so that Labour will be thoroughly discredited and despised by a large majority of the public by 2020.

    I have been out of the loop for a few weeks due to hip surgery but have now regained a few powers of concentration to get reading again. And it would appear from the various threads here that little has changed: Al Beeb is still in full indoctrination mode and in total denial of Brexit, these being just two of its biggest faults.

    They are also extremely cautious in what they report from Europe. Underlying all their reports, when one digs deeper, it seems that all is not well in Euroland. The European elites are now really terrified of what is going to happen to the EU because the UK has voted to leave. All power to the Eastern member states who have found their voices and are beginning to speak out. Roll on the referendum in Hungary in October, eh?

    As always, I look at other sites for deeper news and I’m not sure if anyone else has commented on this but it is telling that the New Observer Online has many articles about “invaders” in various parts of Europe. Invaders??? Great word, and, I’m sorry, but that’s exactly what the majority of these people are.

    For example…
    Germans Fight Back as Invaders Attack
    SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 16 COMMENTS
    Several dozen nonwhite invaders posing as refugees attacked a crowd of Germans last night in the east German city of Bautzen—but received a thorough beating when the German civilians fought back.
    The local authorities have now expelled 34 of the invaders from the town, and banned all alcohol in the local invader center, as it emerged that the nonwhite attacks are regular occurrences.

    Invaders Cost Germany $5.9 billion in Welfare
    SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 11 COMMENTS
    The number of nonwhite invaders posing as asylum seekers in Germany has tripled from 2014, and last year €5.3 billion ($5.91 billion) in welfare handouts were paid out, new official figures have revealed. According to the Federal Statistical Office, the recipients of the handouts claimed to come from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, “other Asia,” Eritrea, Nigeria, Somalia, and the “rest of Africa.”

    Only 505 Invaders Returned to Turkey
    SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 8 COMMENTS
    Only 505 nonwhite invaders have been returned to Turkey since the “EU deal” was signed in March this year—and of that number, only five have actually had their asylum claims rejected. At the same time, at least 166,570 invaders have landed in Greece from Turkey since the beginning of the year. Of the 505 returnees, at least 500 have either refrained from requesting asylum, or withdrawn their applications.

    When will Al Beeb report things like this?

    Two millionaires bitching as one has to smile and wave for the cameras…and the other fusses over global warming.
    His new songs are retreads of his Police hit singles( Invisible Sun only one I recognised..but he`s rebranded it as “50,000”-probably what Jools gets per show!).
    -and Jools did hint as much…cue frosty rest of interview.

    I have great affection for the Polish people and truly, deeply deplore recent attacks on Poles In the UK. But let’s get one thing straight: Brexit is not the cause, as the beeb would have us believe. That lie must be challenged. The cause is the insane open door policy of past Labour governments and the EU. If anything, with time Brexit will defuse those tensions by reducing immigration to manageable levels.

      It would be interesting to discover the religion / ethnicity / nationality of those who who have been attacking Poles here in the UK, there is a mutual dislike between Muslims and Poles, generally speaking and many Eastern europeans harbour old animosities, which they bring along with them, towards others from different countries within Eastern europe; I have a customer who employs a lot in his factory and he said it can be a problem where different nationalities don’t get along but have to work together.

        I read the report on the recent attack on a Pole or Polish men in a Leeds “multi-racial” suburb.

        All the report said it was carried out by a group of 15 – 20 wearing hooded jackets.

        Noticeable by its absence was any further description of the assailants. No suggestion of whether the police were looking for “IC1s, 2s or 3s” which one must presume someone noticed.

        Surely it would help police enquiries if the public were able to decide if the group of youths they had seen earlier in the area might be the same ones, or not.

        When it was straightforward NATO versus Warsaw Pact it looked simple .
        But it wasn’t . Forget any animosity between western nations , you should hear what the ordinary Commie Bloc was saying about his allies .
        Poles hated East Germans and had contempt for Czeckoslovakians . Hungarians had a problem with Roumanians over Translyvannia and contempt for Bulgarians . The lot of them disliked Yugoslavians before the Jugheads hated themselves and had atrocities . Never mind the unshaky foundations of the USSR .
        Of course there were divisions in the West !
        I often wondered if there was a great clash of the armies of the west v the armies of the East they would never meet in the middle as they would have been punching , stabbing and glassing before the official opposites were to meet .

      The Poles are a great and proud people who are our natural allies after what happened to them in WW2…these attempts to smear Essex voters, white English people is truly evil, “tasteless” and political opportunism”…even “populist”.

        An analogy to the Poles who fought against the Bosche in WW2 would be all the brave Syrian and Afghan etc: men going to the nearest country implicated in their war and offering to make up the numbers, form their own battalions and fight for their countries and people with grit, bravery and determination. Hmmmm. Not really happening then.

    the bBC loves to promote the POV that Islam is (and can only be) a religion of peace. Here is a current News Headline:
    The imam killed because he wasn’t ‘Muslim enough’

    So if an Islamic holyman can be murdered for not being ‘Islamic’ enough, what does that say about how Muslims look upon non-Muslims?

      That imam arrived in 2002 as an illegal immigrant ! so by that reckoning his family who have spoken at various press conferences have no right to be here either ! Just why wasn’t he one of the few hundred a year that are sent back from whence they came ? No, he’s settled, raised a family and the authorities clearly couldn’t give a toss. If its discovered he was an illegal now, why wasn’t something done about him years ago ?

    It’s hard to say this without seeming mean-spirited, but I’ll have a go: the Paralympics bores me.

    It doesn’t seem to interest many other people, either. Not once in my workplace, local pub or during the course of going about my business has the conversation turned to the Paralympics – as opposed to, say, Premiership football (which I happen to loathe), Test cricket or the able-bodied Olympics.

    Why then does every BBC sports report start with a report from the Paralympics? For most of us it involves athletes of whom we’ve never heard competing in events that we don’t properly understand for medals that we don’t much care about.

    The answer: because the Beeb’s funding model enables it to be “agenda driven” rather than “audience driven”.

    I would be happy for the Beeb to continue to pursue its bien pensant agenda – but only if I had the lawful option of opting out of funding it!

      Completely agree Tom I have nothing against disabled people and am happy to pay my taxes to support them as I understand they have been given a rough start in life. On the flip side I am not happy to pay my taxes to support those that want a career on welfare.

      But this is just another prime example of the liberal left ramming things down our throats so that they can virtue signal their way through life. Logic, facts, economics are throw out the window to accommodate their virtue signalling whether that means paralympics, women’s football, global warming, “refugees” (or what us sane people call economic migrants). It’s just all part of their traitourous and flawed agenda.

      On that note my brother and I got home and switched on the TV to see England vs Estonia and thought awesome maybe the Beeb isn’t so bad… that thought lasted all of 3 seconds before the camera panned to the woman taking the goalkick. Again and it frustrates me that I constantly have to stick up for my views I have nothing against women’s football but if the bBBC were a private organisation it would not make any business sense to have women’s football on prime time as the advertising revenue no doubt would not make it feasible.

      The liberal left disgust me more and more by the day but I take solice in the fact that the pendulum is swinging. I reckon only 5 or so more years of putting up with their crap. Hopefully then it’s our turn to fix their mess.

          Hate to break it to you but they’re not really made of gold. You see it’s a bit of an emperor’s new clothes concept – we the audience suspend disbelief that those medals are actually worth something and hey presto they become valuable. This requires the willing participation of big slice of the audience of course. The willing participation. Not forced by the agenda of the broadcaster. That won’t work.

    Just had to express my disgust at the BBC, who, as usual, appear to be trying to excuse a ‘so called honour killing’. Why else have they included in this story, the newly discovered element that the victim had not obtained a legally binding divorce? Seems to me obvious that it is being included to justify this heinous crime, allegedly committed by her ex husband and father (yes, father). And the whole story just illustrates how futile it becomes when trying to integrate our cultures.

        EUTV, interesting morning: I rang a helpline for assessment on whether I could make a allegation of a ‘hate crime’ against my neighbour (they are Polish). In the process of explaining the circumstances I referred to neighbours as, ‘foreigners’. Told I can’t use that term. ‘What can I call them?’. “People” I was told. Next take down my details and during this exchange I was referred to as “White Male”. I replied, surely you can’t call me that on the basis of the descriptions available to you? I must be a white person. Reply: silence……………
        This Hate Incident/crime nonsense doesn’t seem to be able to cope with a white person seeking advice on a potential hate crime against a, I’ll say it again, “Foreigner”. Well, I’ll go one better, “Bloody Foreigner”. So there!!

      “the victim had not obtained a legally binding divorce?”

      Loobyloo,

      For the BBC to make that stick they need tell us the details of her first marriage. It is only a few weeks ago that the BBC broadcast a programme on Sharia Law that made the point that unless a Sharia marriage was registered with the civil authorities it had no legal validity and the couple were merely cohabiting. That is how muslim men can have several “wives” (because they’re not legally married to any of them), and how they can instantly “divorce” any wife they are tired of.

      Perhaps this time a “wife” took advantage of the Sharia system and was murdered for her temerity. I’d like to know the background, but I don’t expect that level of journalism from the BBC – even the report you linked to was just a recycled press release.

    Comrades Im currently holidaying in France in a town called Montmorrillon which sadly is not blessed with much diversity or cultural enrichment (only the politically incorrect French sort). Talk about invasion – apparently 10% of the population are English. They,re making no attempt at integration, only a few have learned the language and very few have found employment. Average age is 70+ so no danger of the migrants outbreeding the locals. Its very near Poitiers the site of a historic victory against the infidel invaders.

    Our deeply respected Londonistan Mufti Mayor is in Murika supporting guess who ….yes back from the dead Saint HiLIARy. I do hope he flew business class to avoid sitting near any dirty kaffirs who might have been having a sneaky sharia non compliant bacon roll and beer.
    His latest piece of inspired wisdom is that immigrants should integrate but not assimilate and risk losing their cultural heritage and practices. Naturally I think we can all agree with him that its so important to retain deeply valued cultural traditions such as paedophilia, child marriage, first cousin incest, bestiality, rape, slavery, misogyny, jihad, sharia law, homophobic murder, public be-headings, suicide bombings and mass murder of non believers. Have I missed any……

    The BBC-utterly transparent.
    My Red Button tells me that The Visegrad Group of countries in Eastern Europe will veto any Brexit deal unless we pay their dole and let them all in from over there.
    Yet when you go to the mighty “Gates Of Vienna”-this is precisely the opposite of what Hungary etc are saying.
    This is the BBC calling-so check every bloody word.
    Turns out that our Czech friends and Viktor Orban etc of Hungary are FURIOUS at the shambolic migrant crisis and fear yet more of it this autumn.
    So Brexit is not the issue at all-this is a tactic to threaten the EU into doing something about the migrants-they will veto any French/German collaborations unless and until they get migration under control.
    So this is NOT aimed at Britain and its vote to leave…just as thwarting the EUs attempts to function if it does not control migrations, instead of forcing Visegrad to speed up the allocations and accepting of these people to help Merkel and Hollande out for election year.
    Red Button says also that Brexit “overshadowed” all that was said in Bratislava-but, funnily enough was “not on any formal agenda”.
    So then BBC -riddle me this-how the hell do you come to THAT conclusion? How do you KNOW that Brexit was an issue, might it not have been on an agenda had it been one?
    So there you go-fantastical slurries and slush from the BBC in this crucial time pre leaving the EU.
    Traitorous scum, making it all up from Verhofstads Chelsea laundry basket next to Junkers minibar.

    I’ve been looking at a thread on the FT website. Two items stood out. I think they are excellent, but also plagiarised, by me 🙂 Regards to the originators for their views. I deserve no credit whatsoever.

    1. The concept of an anti-elitist politics, i.e. populism, only goes so far. An obsession with it, as by EU leaders and the FT, suggests elitism in despair about its future capacity for political misbehaviour.

    2. Note to OED editors:

    Democracy: imposing the will of the authorities on the people; as distinct from the populist onslaught, terms frequently used by MSM

This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants”

    What’s going on?

    BBC tv news this morning where reports come in from the US of first multiple pipe bombs in New Jersey close to a charity run event and now pressure cooker type devices in Manhattan one of which explodes injuring many. And yet in a short (perhaps 90 second) report the audience is told five times – by BBC anchors, BBC correspondents and via film of US officials that this ‘is no yet known to be linked to terrorism’. Five times!

    So tell us, what’s your working definition of terrorism then? I could understand the US authorities wish to play this down until they are on top of the situation – but how come the BBC swallows the official line of a foreign government so unquestioningly?

    Given the slim possibility it might not be terrorism, then what the blazes is this?

    The only thought I could come up with was an extreme conceptual art project gone wrong?

    Any thoughts?

    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37391144

    I am glad that the Beeb is bringing this to people’s attention, but it does miss some important points. The man killed Jalal Uddin was an illegal immigrant who should not have been in the UK. Yet the article simply states “Everyone I spoke to in Rochdale said Mr Uddin was a kind man who had lived a simple life, providing religious education to the young and spiritual support to the sick, elderly and grieving.”

    The article also states that “he practised a form of spiritual healing called Ruqiya which involves special spiritual amulets. The video below explains what they are:”

    Now I’m sorry to tell the BBC that there is not such thing as “spiritual healing” its pure quackery the domain of charlatans and snake oil salesman, but the Beeb seems happy to accept it with out question.

      take a real crime like if a male teacher repeatedly physically intimidated female pupils, that would be a crime. Same as if he only did it to black students. But either way I don’t think it’s useful EVER to give it a special title of #HateCrime
      Cos if he was gay and did it to white male students..it is still an intimidation crime.

      And that’s the rub intimidation crime is a ‘hate crime’ against humanity you can’t put it together with another word eg ‘race hate crime’ or ‘woman hate crime’
      A thug who only attacks black women is not worse than a thug that attack white men. A thug is a thug.

    If 9/11 had occurred last night, rather than 15 years ago, I wonder how it would have been reported?

    Obviously, there would have been no mention of it whatsoever in the Daily Fail or that notoriously Hard-Right neoliberal rag, the so-called Guardian.

    The BBC would have probably reported it as follows:

    “Two planes crash in New York, with several people injured and killed. The Mayor described the crashes as “intentional acts”, but added that there was no evidence of any terror connections.

    In separate and apparently unrelated accidents, another plane collided with the notoriously Hard-Right militarist landmark, the Pentagon, but the numbers of injuries and deaths were, apparently, much lower than those in New York. A plane has also crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, but fortunately with no casualties (other than those on board at the time).

    Hilary Clinton has expressed her “deep concern” that as a result of these unfortunate incidents, there could be a Hate Backlash against Muslims, adding that she hoped that the Far-Right Trump would not use these “tragic accidents” for “his own deplorable ends”.”

    It isn’t often that I hope that the BBC is right about something but today is an exception, the theme of the Marr show was , The Death of Liberalism. I interpret this as meaning Marr and the BBC are worried that the liberal elite , not just in the UK but right across the west, are being threatened by ordinary people deciding that they no longer believe that their best interests are served by keeping this elite in power. Of course the BBC consider any politician who doesn’t support their liberal left world view as a hard right populist demi God, or in a few cases as a hard left communist. They further consider those of us who vote for them as stupid , ill educated , untermenshen who really ought not to have a vote. We can be sure that the BBC will do everything In their power to frustrate the democratic will of the people and act as a rallying point for the liberal elite. Hopefully the BBC will still be flying the liberal flag as they die in the last ditch with the rest of elite.

    Lord Kinnock added: “Not just in my lifetime but stretching back to the 1930s, by any examination this is the greatest crisis that the Labour Party has faced.”

          Ah well-Farage gets us out of the EU and TRump takes the USA by a landslide-this has been one hell of a year, and the disconnect between the ruled and the rulers is complete.
          The engine revs, but the wheels are completely disengaged and won`t turn…so send for the newest floppy dunmmy levers to pretend that they`ve got gears as they once had…complete fraud…and we know it now.Milo says as much in Trump trolling the USAs media empires.
          Totally screwed, downhill racing only from now on.

      Number 6,
      You will meet these intellectuals in the Labour Party, on lefty blogs and Facebook sites. These are the people who claim that Israel is starving the Palestinians to death, conducting mass genocide and they will call you a racist if you point out that the Palestinian population is rising and that there is a serious obesity crisis in Gaza. Eighth highest in the world

      I like the ‘Let Gaza Live’ sign. As if UN aid doesn’t pour into Gaza via Israel daily. And as if Israel doesn’t treat Gazans in Israeli hospitals – even Gaza terrorists wounded while attacking Israelis.

      And as if Gaza would let Israel live if the roles were reversed.

    BBC : New York bomb was ‘act of terrorism’, says Governor Cuomo
    25 minutes ago
    \\but no link to international groups has been found.//
    \\Mr Cuomo said: “A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism.”
    But he said that, as yet, no international organisation such as so-called Islamic State had claimed they were behind it.//

    The context is upto now the BBC and Hillary camp have avoided the word “terrorism” in reporting the bombs ..as that would play into votes for Trump , as it emphasises there is danger from uncontrolled immigration.

      So according to the feminists, Cllinton is the embodiment of all women. Sheesh! I think she only represents that type of feminist, i.e. the ones that hate men beacause they are jealous of their perceived power and doubly hate good-looking, confident, intelligent, feminine women due to their own shortcomings and self-hatred.

      Real women are not represented by Hilllary and are intelligent enough to work things out for themselves and not blindly accept the hatred that comes from modern “feminists”.

    The bomb blast in Chelsea Manhattan, which Hillary called a bomb blast before condemning Trump for calling it a bomb blast was in a fashionable gay area.

    One might consider investigating potential gay haters who use bombs – just a suggestion for the dumb politicians and media.

    But if it was directed at gays will we have another opportunity to see young Owen Jones storm out of the studio during a discussion of the incident?

    The BBC really, really pis*es me off. I don’t subscribe to the BBC but happenchance to listen to their radio output. I’m tired of their canned laughter on every so called “comedy” programme and tired of their talking down to me on every occasion possible. I’m tired of their one trick pony left wing diatribes and like ponies with a broken leg, the ponies are put down. Please someone, put us out of their misery and like the one trick pony with a broken leg, shoot the bugger.

    Good interview on RT with Tommy Robinson who manages to get his points across.
    Compare sound quality with BBC interviews. There is a definite bias among BBC sound engineers

      I have noted the poor quality sound whenever someone is interviewed that Al Beeb do not curry favour with, especially prominent when Nigel Farage was interviewed during the Brexit campaign.
      It was so blatant that I was amazed the government did not take action on a broadcasting authority that ‘milks you all’ of so much money and cannot get their sound quality right ?
      Blatant and biased.

    Countryfile are now pushing this year’s Children in Need. Ok, started 36 years ago, and raised £600 million – that’s quite a few million per year that’s distributed between several charities. Yes, I agree that charity begins at home, and I’m beginning to wonder if we are knee deep in playgrounds, playclubs/coaches, toys etc. Youth community projects are also funded, BUT what happened to all this ‘stuff’ that was donated or bought say even 5 or 10 years ago ?? Is there a special Children in Need rubbish dump where all previous years purchases have been disposed of ? AND what has happened to those ‘vulnerable’ children from the 1980’s who were the recipients of funding ? they must be in middle age now. Are any of these past children ever interviewed 20 years on so that we can see how these funds have helped them ?

    My cynical view of Children in Need (in this country anyway) is of barefoot kids of the early 20th Century that have no food to eat, shoes for their feet or clothes for their back – not parents who have the latest iPhone and have money to spend on takeaway food.

    This year will no doubt raise umpteen millions – enough to feed a small country, so will it be Harrods again to buy yet more ‘equipment’? Because there shouldn’t be a village / town in this country that hasn’t benefitted from all this money, yet I have never ever heard of any group, person or place that has had cashed pumped into it from this gigantic fund raiser.

      Oddly, we are still waiting for the BBC to reply to all the FOI requests asking how many millions of BBC viewers cash were stuffed in the purse of Camila Batmanghelidjh at Kids Company under the mindless supervision of BBC exec Alan Yentob.

      I’m sure they will tell us one day, after all the BBC is paid for by the british people and all the money that goes to children in need comes from us.

    On the BBC Radio 4 Feedback programme there was an item about whether the BBC was biased against Jeremy Corbyn. The surprise to me was to hear the BBC editor defending her position consistently refer to Jeremy rather than Jeremy Corbyn or Corbyn etc. I don’t think referring to the subject in first name terms is very impartial. Would she ever refer to Nigel, Maggie, Donald or even Theresa?

      She also came as close to backing down and ‘admitting’ that the BBC hadn’t been fair in its reporting as any BBC editor I have ever heard on that programme. Clearly, she is very far from biased against Corbyn.

      It is inconceivable that a complaint from UKIP supporters would have received anything like such sympathetic handling.

    There was an interesting comment by Lord Farage of Brexit on BBC today, that the EU could collapse before Article 50 is triggered.

    He mentioned this on the Andrew ‘Self-Admitted Marxist’ Marr show. It’s on the iplayer, but you must have a BBC Licence/Tax to view it 😉

    Nothing new then ! Just watched ‘Victoria’ (apologies not BBC), – the episode concentrated on the family of migrant Prince Albert pressing for a generous allowance and a title for him. This was so the greater family in Germany could share in the good fortune.

    Here we are almost 180 years later, and what’s changed ? er, nothing; European migrants coming here to milk our resources to benefit those back home !! Wonder how many others watching thought the same thing.
