    A more troubling 140 character twitter-space lefty slogan from our BBC-endorsed and endorsing Brendan is this..

    ‘Brendan Cox ‏@MrBrendanCox Sep 19
    Brendan Cox Retweeted Spenborough Guardian
    I hope all who portrayed Jo’s killing as an issue of mental health rather than political extremism learn from this’

    ‘Spenborough Guardian
    Medical evidence ‘not an issue’ in MP Jo Cox murder trial. #BatleyandSpen’

    Are such matters as the mental capacity and culpability of the accused not sub judice?

    Compare and contrast with the media treatment of the likely mental state of those suspected of recent islamic terror lone wolf attacks.

      Our noble broadcaster just might be regretting the timing of the St. Jo promotion, coming as it does in direct juxtaposition with the Hillarymails. Two crucially timed and politically engineered events, designed to influence an uncertain outcome? Will any of us be thoroughly insensitive and make the connection or draw any parallels? Surely not….

      In a way Brendan Cox is right about political extremism being implicated in his wife’s shooting.

      But I think he lacks the ability, as do the BBC, to see that policies supportive of mass migration, appeasement of political Islam and the surrender of national sovereignty implicit in remaining in the EU are also extremist political positions.

      Two extremisms clashed on the day of Jo Coxs murder.

      The speed with which the suggested motives of Jo Coxs murder were presented to us by the media (in comparison with the dissembling around others motives) is very disturbing….sinister even.

        Alicia/Techno – You have both hit the nail on the head. Nothing much has changed since Saville. The BBC IS still full of weirdos. And is worse in some ways because they encourage the transmission of this sort of ghastly programme, probably in order to make themselves feel more normal.

        Maybe at the BBC job interview it is a prerequisite to have “struggled with your gender” in order to get the job.

        Whilst I do have some sympathy for transsexuals – surely it is downright irresponsible to bother little kids about their gender at such young ages in order for the 0.001 % who may have a problem to feel better about themselves.

        There really is no depth that these sick bastards wont sink to in order to de-stabilise the normal family.

          I too have no issue with sex roles and confusions-especially when children are made to grow up with the propaganda now since preschool.
          But with the obsessings about sex ed and identity politics prevalent in our schools-and their cultural sugar daddies(glucose guardians?)at the BBC?
          It is no surprise that some misfit parents would rather get onto the BBC settee that actually bring their children up to accept all shades, but wait until they`ve grown up before they make decisions.
          The BBCs interest in “their journeys” won`t be any longer that it was in Saviles saveloy.

    Just watching Brendan Cox on Andrew Marr.
    The BBC are loving this. How disgraceful that Saint Jo’s death is still being used as a propaganda tool.
    Mr Cox has quite rightly said that her death has no connection to the referendum outcome but there is an underlying feeling across the divided country that British people have always been very welcoming to different cultures/races. Mr Cox has got it right there. Although their world is unaffected as this is not close to where the elite live in their ivory towers.
    I think I live in a different country to the BBC.
    Mr Cox was on a rib with his two young children and a woman (nanny maybe) on the Thames that day when Gobby Geldof held his counter demonstration against the fishermen.
    Mr Cox was waving a remain flag.
    Maybe, just maybe, the murderer, a loner, apparently very friendly to neighbours but kept himself to himself was tipped over the edge when he saw them that day on the river.
    When will the BBC and media generally understand that there is unrest amongst the poorer people of this country. They have been shat on by the elite for far too long and the real people (not celebrity MP’s/rich celebrities) have spoken. Enough is enough.

    I’ve never got this ‘welcoming’ terminology. In the past the British (as we used to know them) have been stiff upper lip and never really made their feelings known – in fact, it was not so long ago that the ‘welcome’ doormat wasn’t exactly in evidence when signs in B & B windows read ‘no Irish or Blacks’. The British in general are not brilliant at making friends – churchgoers excepted, but ‘welcoming’ is always the mantra trotted out by elderly migrants who settled here years ago, and whom we had thrust upon us whether we liked it or not.

    Just an idea for when the ‘jungle’ reappears in Calais, as it surely will…

    If a migrant attempts to enter the UK illegally, or participates in any act further to that aim, like disrupting traffic or climbing into a truck, then they should be arrested. Once under arrest they should be finger printed and have their DNA recorded – as is the default for arrested persons. They should be charged with the crime of attempted illegal border crossing. The penalty should be permanent exclusion from that country – a lifelong ban on a visa.

    This would discourage migrants from attempting to cross borders illegally with associated benefits to both France and the UK. No more ‘jungle’ for a start. And the same law could be enacted for any border in the EU, or elsewhere. You can have my idea for free Donald when you take office – it’s cheaper than a wall.

    It would link the migrant with the country in which the crime took place and therefore provide the basis for a legitimate place to which they should be deported if subsequently found to have been successful on a later attempt to cross the border. This would provide every country with the necessary incentive to properly control its own borders since the responsibility for emigration passes to the same country responsible for immigration.

    • soyelcaminodelfuturo says:

      If subsequently discovered at any time in the future in the country to which they had no legal right of entry then they should be immediately repatriated to the country from which they entered. In other words this should be a lifelong disqualification. No rewards or mitigation for evading capture or marriage or family etc. Any arrested person should be subject to an automatic cross check on a disqualified visa database.

      The cost of repatriation and an additional processing fee, which could be set very high, would be charged on the country with the porous border. €10million per illegal immigrant would get Hollande’s attention.

      If the system worked across the EU then the point of entry at Europe’s external border could be traced and ultimately repatriation to a non-EU country made possible.

      Also a potential solution for a soft border between Northern Ireland and Eire.

      Of course, this is not compatible with Schengen and would never be adopted by a corrupt regime hard wired to enact continental population replacement, white genocide, miscegenation, border elimination and one world government. Like the EU.

        Criminal intent by illegal immigrants would also be significantly reduced since the penalty for any indictable offence would be default deportation, regardless of the seriousness of the subsequent crime.

    Just been watching the odious Clegg on ITV’s Peston. He didnt even bother to regurgitate the usual “we must respect the democratic wishes of the people….” just the assertion without any evidence to back it, that no one voted for hard brexit – who would vote for such economic self harm….
    When will these delusional rejected by the voters twatts realise that no one ever listened to them or cares now what they think. I know perfectly well what I voted for and after listening to him and endless other msm favoured wankerati I’m more convinced than ever I made the right choice – to end islamisation, restore control of borders and exit the corrupt venal fascist EU.
    I think we are entering a dangerous phase when these traitors have favoured access to our corrupt media to undermine our wishes.
    As I ranted in previous blogs the Brexit vote was a direct instruction to the politicians, a mandate, an order, not a suggestion, not a blind protest vote, not if you can secure good terms, so f…ing well get on with it Treesa. As for that delusional (my people need me in this hour of peril) criminal Bliar – why isnt he in jail, and why do our traitorous BBC and msm stooges think anyone cares what their “chief editors” or self appointed experts think.

    The immediately see you as a criminal cos you have a different opinion from them “You are not one of us”
    They march along their forum shouting
    “LeftMob, LeftMob, We are LeftMob ! And we are right ! right ! right ! All off the time. Suck it up !”

    Likewise the BBC for all it’s criticism of Trump has already built a virtual wall which keeps OUT non-Left voices ..and keeps them off air.
    A wall that runs around BBC Radio 4 Comedy, All BBC News progs, BBC ClimateReligion keeping out all those voices that might challenge their dogma.

    On forums Leftmob quickly gives up on logic and reverts to the fallacious arguments of : misrepresentation, attacking the man and not the argument, cherry picking etc. And shout “Troll !” or shout “Racist !”, to close down the debate.

      The BBC seems to be surprised by every popular vote these days and this is due, I believe, to two factors. The first is that they believe pre-election polls are accurate. They fall into this trap because the BBC is no longer of the general British population. We usually avoid confrontation and consider heated political debate an ill-mannered thing to do in polite company. Hence, when asked how we are likely to vote, we either give the answer we think the nosey pollster wants to hear or refuse to answer. The second is that the BBC inhabits a left-wing echo chamber with a distinct lack of diverse opinion.
      This explains the bemused ‘just been fed a sh*t sandwich’ look on Dimbleby’s face every time he has to announce a result that he and his BBC chums think is wrong.

        “The BBC seems to be surprised by every popular vote these days”….

        Steve, nothing wrong with the reasons you`ve given for this but there is also the significant factor that the BBC sees itself as leading public opinion rather than reporting on it.

        The Leftist Chomsky spouts a lot of tosh but on the subject of the mass media he`s bang on…the media “manufactures consent” for the powerful to work with. Look at the themes ever present in the BBCs output and this seems to be borne out.

        For example, virtually all the opinion on issues around gays and trans “issues”(very much the interests of tiny minorities) is media driven….followed by government action.

    R4 13:30 Martin Bashir was brought on to bash Trump on the excuse he changed to just be appointed BBC religious affairs correspondent after formerly being in the US, so his piece on religion should reference the US even though the From Our HOME Corrrespondent show is about correspondents in the UK.

    “Take case of Donald Trump the self confessed adulterer” *
    “whose been married 3 times” YEP
    “whose businesses have been bankrupted 4 times” **
    “whose is accused by at least 11 women of sexual harrassment” ***

    *(actually I can’t find that , only a court case quoted last month “Trump Pleaded The Fifth 97 Times To Avoid Admitting To Adultery“)

    **(Trump has never personally declared bankruptcy, he’s run 6 companies which have declared bankruptcy
    (he’s run 500+ businesses allegedly)

    ***(There are 12 accusers .. Sexual Harrassment is an extremely serious thing so one has to take care with terms to both victim and and suspect :
    But Basically he wouldn’t have gone to jail, even if the women had made the complaints when they happened 10 years ago. And that is from the details in the fairly Anti-Trump NPR
    There is only one allegation of assault, that was made in a 1993 book by Ivana about 1989 a time in the middle of their marriage, she described it as rape, but before the book was printed changed her story “I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
    All of the other accusations whilst unpleasant seem to be octopus type behaviour like grabbing breasts, hand up the skirt etc ..mostly described as if it was over in 30 s or a minute.)

    Bashir then went on to talk crap about religion
    About reigning in our pursuits cos “everyone worships something”, money, power etc.

    Someone Tweeted him :”we do not “all worship something”; your understanding of atheism is severely deficient.”

    Someone else Tweeted
    “Incredible #bbc has rehired Martin Bashir when they know he fraudulently got Diana to do thatPanorama interview”

    The Report just now on Radio 4 managed to confirm why we all hate the BBC.
    The guiltfest was one long emote into “slavery”.
    Now you`d think that we`d rather dealt with that in the mid-19th Century…God knows the Human Rights baying mobs told us all about it.
    So why then is it back since 2010 then?
    The Report would rather not say.
    But we can guess about New Labours role in it, and Mays ill-defined “war” on the whole business.
    And we can guess what colours, what faith the traffickers and the victims are.
    And what parts of the world that export it-and the gender of those who run it, those who suffer under it.

    But the BBC can`t-they don`t and won`t.
    In case we get the wrong ideas.
    Anyway-talk of slavery.
    Our Beeboid makes the girl cry, after he`s suggested illegal overstaying on the visa
    “How does that make you feel” he asks(Money Shot poverty porn play#3)
    “And what are your dreams?”( MSPPP#13).
    We can see a whole load of teenage girls getting roped along the BBCs convoy of victims, enslaved and forced to emote for Radio 4.
    Despicable…and bloody Theresa May fails to appear on the BBC having been summonsed by the Report.
    How very dare she-this is the BBC she`s spurning!
    Utter guiltfest crap. Fupoff BBC!

      I thought it was worse than you describe, clearly calling for all these victims of slavery to be automatically given UK citizenship, which the perpetrators which were identified by the victim as ‘Arabs’ had to be let off Scot free.

      No doubt the reason for not wanting to upset the Arabs is the amount of money they pump into the UK to promote their depraved religion and lifestyle, and if they wish to treat their staff like slaves then that’s just fine with the UK so long as they don’t get caught!

      It seemed to me this program promoted two things – immunity from prosecution for the Arabs who do, and more mass migration – which the program criticised Theresa May & the Tories for seeking to stop.

      The greedy weasel who had produced some kind of questionable report could have been given some serious cross examination such as why the employers and employees were not separated on entry on entry to the UK and questioned, with proof of earnings being a requirement of them being allowed entry.

      If the government wanted to tackle this, they could, but it might upset some of their financial benefactors so they don’t !

      I’m not sure how big the problem is ..I’m sure that there’s a bigger problem in Thailand etc. cos in European waters you could use workers from the lowest salary country.

    Brilliant! They just didn’t mention it, least I didn’t hear a word about it, not even in the news summary at the top of the program. Not a word about the headline linking all news programs other than theirs!

    Rather, they seemed to be concentrating the entire prog on the (yawn -yawn) issue of finding non Brexit type folk to howl with misery about a border between Northern Ireland and the Islamic nutters driving through the Schengen zone’s with their guns and bombs.

    Oh except Muslims, guns and bombs weren’t mentioned. Maybe on the next discussion.

    Woke this morning at 7 to find Andrew castle on lbc practically begging for a second referendum as he does every week. Also bashing trump and doing a Justin webbe in his description. As for Hilary nobody’s perfect according to him but apart from that she’s brill. Trying his best to play down the fbi involvement. The second hour was a conservative bash fest with the continued use of the nasty party and with the help of alibi brown supposedly doing a paper review gleefully adding to the shite. According to her Canada has been ruled by hard right governments for years (who knew)and she’s in love with mr feminist Trudeau. Absolutely pathetic stuff.

    Over in Beeb land the bbc are sticking the fingers in their ears and not mentioning the fbi and Hilary. Mars show this morning mentioned it but so fleetingly I think nobody noticed, those nasty fbi people, how very dare they. Boris johnsons sister again being a complete pillock over brexit with Kate hoey. I guess by tomorrow the bbc will be praying that it never happened and it was all just a very bad dream laugh.

    I just pray that Nov 8th will be another June 23rd and see the smug faces wiped from these gobshites. Not one of them have the right to call themselves a journalist. Political activists yes but not journalists. The whole lot are selling their souls for their so called righteous crusade to get a crook into the White House.

    If the FBI had waited until Clinton had won the election to release the email evidence, Trump quite rightly would have called for a new election.

    Having now obtained the email evidence, the FBI have no choice but to follow the evidence trail. To do otherwise would suggest bias.

    Only the BBC are allowed to be biased.

    R4 has an obituary programme on Sunday nights. Tonight they featured Jimmy Perry and surprise surprise managed to get some PC in! Like New England puritans who see sin everywhere, the BBC sees racism and homophobia lurking behind the most innocent of things. Apparently ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’ wasn’t as popular as ‘Dad’s Army’ because it made fun of the gays!

    They seem to have forgotten that. a. ‘Dad’s Army’ had a fair few jokes about gays, usually involving the vicar and his rather close relationship with the verger. b.the character of ‘Gloria’ played by Melvyn Hayes in ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’ was probably the first ‘trans’ character shown on British TV who wasn’t some sort of pervert or serial killer. Personally I think it was pretty ‘cutting edge’ to have even that on 1970s primetime TV (in a comedy set in the 1940s, don’t forget).

    I’ve often heard it said that Mr Humphries from ‘Are You Being Served’ (written by Perry’s writing partner Major David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd) was ’empowering’ towards gay men so why wasn’t ‘Gloria’? I am not ‘of the gay’ myself so don’t want to make any assumptions but in many ways he seemed a positive sort of character. The BBC seems to think that because Windsor Davies used the word ‘poof’ IAHHM must be wiped from the collective memory of the nation. But Davies’ character was always shown to be an idiot!

      In its haste to scramble to the top of the PC ant heap and signal its virtue far and wide, the BBC is incapable of seeing that those great comedies poked fun at everybody regardless of gender, race, colour, height, bodyweight, accent etc etc. You can’t get any fairer than that.

    Turning on BBC R4 news is like turning on a tap of lies. Take today 1t 6.15 when BBC reporter Sophie Hutchinson ‘explained’ why the NHS budget was under increasing pressure.

    Apparently we have an ageing population (true). There is a diabetes epidemic (open to question – it is more complex than it seems), drugs are getting more expensive (another over-simplification) and these pesky old folk often have complicated conditions which are expensive to treat (unarguable).

    Add all these together and you have a need for a budget rising at around 4 per cent just to keep up with demand, she opined.

    Well, yes. But hasn’t little Sophie forgotten something? Something to do with the flood of third world immigrants, many of whom have complex health issues which cost a fortune to treat? And don’t they also have a disproportionately high birth rate which is causing chaos throughout the NHS (let alone other areas such as education and criminal justice?).

    Still, that’s another job done for the liars at Broadcasting House. Listeners fed a story which misleads them on a very important issue and simultaneously protects one of the BBC favourite client groups.

    They really are beneath contempt.

      GC, agreed. The BBC conveniently forget the millions of imported foreigners who have to get ill or become involved in accidents. What about FGM? The NHS is the Worlds free service to deal with this imported problem and they are in the midst of busily setting up clinics around the UK to deal with the, ‘problem’. No one can tell me that all imports travel back to their homeland to obtain treatment.

    The BBC love Mark Carney. He may have a useless record on hinting at interest rate rises, suggesting 4 times since 2013 that rates would rise but doing nothing and keeping them too low for too long, however that does not sully his record apparently. The BBC gleefully tell us how highly Carney is regarded and that he will probably infest us for another 4 years after 2018. Why is Carney loved? Because he tried to undermine Brexit prior to the vote, of course, with politicised and dubious economic forecasts.
    The BBC then wheels on its favourite businessman Sir Martin Sorrell. This man is elite to the core, considers himself to be the Great Economic Pontificator and naturally supported Remain and Project Fear. Sorrell uses his frequent BBC interviews to shamelessly sing the virtues of his company. Moreover on Brexit he is very much the sore loser, downplaying the GDP figures and bemoaning the welcome and overdue sterling decline. He also thinks Mark Carney’s performance has been “stellar”. What dire judgment.
