      Any attacks on the Guyanan woman and that Brazilian who led that court case against the British People are called racist. Surely the fact that they hold the British People in such contempt, they clearly hate us, and will do such a negative action against us means that they are the racists.

      Try George Soros…….

      Grahame Pigney’s LinkedIn site recognizes Gina Miller as an associate. Lord Thomas who is presiding over the case brought by Miller is a member of the European Law Institute which was considered a Soros Open Society apparatus since its founding. And so the circle is complete.

      Miller, New Star, Lord Thomas, Grahame Pigney, the entire exploiters of the anti-BREXIT vote, are now attempting to uproot the voters via pressure from Soros.

      What say you UK? Who is your Master?

      You, The People, have a say, have rights, have the power, if you choose. And like the US, you can rise up against the shadows and just say – NO! Because, our world, our history, our future are at stake. And that’s worth fighting for!

    Been(quite literally) looking at the scroll above!
    A joy to see all this common sense in one go-and such an antidote to the endless slurry of the media.
    Won`t normally write on a Sunday, busy day.
    But WILL say this.
    1. Just saw “A Point of View”s trailer for Radio 4.
    Apparently Adam Gopniks “point of view” is that electing Trump would be a disaster for America!
    THAT is a Point of View?
    My Lord, that is ALL the media tell us, there IS no point of view in this-just bias confirmation for the 1001th time!
    So it should NOT have been described as a Point of View, implying that this was different from all the rest of BBC output.
    At least the sermon from St Columbas in the preceeding programme was worth listening to ..now THAT was a Point of View in that such thought and care is NEVER given to anything that the BBC itself puts out as “news”.
    Only thoughtless incontinence of their minds…and the world shall think as one” to slightly amend their Lennon mantra.
    Trump will drain the swamp on the 9th. Have we a brownfield site where we can take back our exported crap like Snow, put tariffs on pointless privileged imported laamebrains like Gopnik, Grier and Churchill(C)?
    PS-yes above, did mean Powell C… have checked, sorry I was wrong sir!

    If anyone was still under the delusion that the BBC was impartial in its covering of the US Presidential election (okay, I know no honest person does), the ‘A Point of View’ on R4 today 6 Nov 2016 shows that they are without doubt not impartial. I listened to Adam Gopnik’s diatribe against Donald Trump with increasing incredulity, not only because of his vitriol, but that it was full of downright and shameless lies. At the end of his spewings, I was left metaphorically breathless by the sheer dishonesty of it. Gopnik’s essay went very far beyond any biased anti-Trump broadcast we have hitherto endured, and constituted a blatant violation of the BBC’s Charter. Naturally, it was timed so that there would be no time for a POV criticising Clinton.
    Things have gone far enough. The broadcasting of Gopnik’s essay needs investigation at the highest level, including the roles of the producer Adele Armstrong and the controller of Radio 4. A wider investigation of ‘Point of View’ is also needed; over the many years it has been broadcast, three-quarters of them have been from left-wing speakers.

      Martin,
      The BBC is now brazen in its impartiality, not just regarding the US election but just about everything. Its arrogance appears to know no bounds. Here is another example following an incident at Trump’s Nevada rally:
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37886291
      Just look at this unbelievable comment regarding the gun from that article:
      ‘A few journalists who left the media pen and headed towards the commotion were treated to manhandling and verbal abuse. There was no gun, of course, and the drama quickly subsided.’
      Arrogant, sanctimonious BBC bullsh*t. I find it hard to believe any of the journalists, particularly the BBC, headed towards the commotion. Remember the brave Eamon Holmes’ response when protesters got into the studio:

        The ‘of course’ is a gem. There is no ‘of course’ about it. However, we can be assured that if Trump wins, he will immediately have the highest level of protection, and so will his family. (By the way, the political progress of the quite impressive Eric Trump might be worth keeping an eye on!).

      Of course the BBC will defend itself by claiming that Gopnik’s views are his, and not necessary the BBC’s. This line of defence needs to be demolished for the nonsense that it clearly is.

    Sometimes when I’m faced with a difficult decision I find it useful to turn the problem around and then the answer becomes much more clear.

    For example; the question should not be whether or not parliament should have a vote on triggering article 50 but rather would it be legal for parliament to vote against triggering article 50?

    Given that parliament voted by 6 to 1 to allow the referendum and that the largest number of people voted for leaving than have ever voted for anything in UK history, I think it would not be lawful for parliament to vote against triggering article 50.

    In this case, for the judiciary to force a vote on the matter would seem perverse, would lead to further uncertainty, speculation and delay which can only be to the detriment of the British people.

    The Sunday Times (pay-walled), has, in it’s Comments section, a typical anti-Trump piece where it states:-

    “Trump leads by substantial margins among male voters, white voters, over-64 voters and degree-less voters. In short, his support looks a lot like the support for Brexit.”

    Clearly they think the only reason Trump can win (and the only reason the Brexit vote was successful) is down to old, racist, thick men.

    I have just been watching one of the most sickening pieces of anti-Brexit and anti-British propaganda I have ever seen. In Europamagazin on a German version of the BBC the topic was Deutsche Pässe für britische Juden – German passports for British Jews. The suggestion was, of course, that post-Brexit even Jews whose families were murdered by the Nazis now prefer Germany to Britain, which by implication is worse than the Third Reich for Jews. The old BBC favorite Julia Neuberger was on explaining how Britain had become a place of darkness. Previously she had felt uncomfortable visiting Germany, but now she felt that Merkel’s New Germany had been welcoming to refugees while Britain had been “mean”. Merkel’s wish for Germany to be a “moral superpower” in the 21sr century, seems to have inspired some. Tom Harding, author of “The House by the Lake”?? also appeared. Strangely enough Neuberger and Harding gave their interviews in English and don’t actually seem to be taking up residence in the Vaterland anytime soon. Like Anjem Coudhry, the Britishness of these people is nothing more than a legal procedure, exploited to implement their various agendas and will be jettisoned when advantageous to them. Unfortunately I an not British of some foreign descent, once my country has been turned into a third world shithole, I cannot suddenly decide I an really German, Polish or Pakistani and return to the home of my fathers. I wonder if this is the reason why wearing the poppy has become so important of late. Native Britons instinctively realise that in 50 or 100 years time, the majority of people living in Britain will have nobody to remember who actually fell fighting for what was Britain in the two world wars.

      And also why the liberal media is in overdrive trying to portray the poppy as a bad thing. The Guardian said that it should be changed to a symbol of regret for British oppression in saving the world twice from tyranny, and that it currently legitimises war as a political tactic when any sensible person would know that war is not only legitimate but necessary in certain situations. Then again the Guardian also thinks Argentina owns the Falklands and Thatcher only defended them to posture on the world stage. Amazingly, the Independent was even more ridiculous as they claimed the poppy is a symbol of racism.

      The left had a pretence of intelligence, fairness and balance until they started to lose control, which has now led to them showing their true colours as morally indefensible, intellectually vacuous bigots.

          Agreed. I have a great deal of respect for some of the old-fashioned left. Unfortunately the movement gradually lost the plot as the twentieth century wore on. Orwell pointed out the beginnings of what we would call political correctness and virtue-signalling in the 30s. I suspect most decent people gave up any real belief in communism after the invasion of Hungary, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union it became clear it couldn’t work as an economic system. It was after that the generation of 1968 radicals – the real loons – came of age, which lead to the Terror instituted by Blair.

    Mail leads with a hit piece against Trump Trump rocked by a sex scandal on the eve of the Presidential vote: Donald ‘cheated on his wife with a Playboy model’ who was then ‘paid £120,000 in hush money’
    (What I read before was that National Enquirer paid her this year, but then never ran the story)

    It was alleged Donald Trump had 10-month affair with Karen McDougal months after marrying his third wife Melania in 2005
    Wall Street Journal reported that Ms McDougal was set to go public about alleged relationship this summer but was paid off by National Enquirer
    Mr Trump’s spokeswoman issued a swift denial, calling it ‘totally untrue’

    A commenter says “she waited 10 years and 3 days before the election to tell us this ?”

    A good commenter says

    Very simple, have your bank pull the records from that time period and prove to everyone that you were given “hush money”. If you can’t provide any proof other than here say, shut your mouth and go away.

Although the programme has not yet finished,, there has been no mention of what 2 million additional people may have done to the stock of social housing. One young lady is living with her three small children in a very small room in a converted old people’s home. No mention of why she was homeless. Where were her parents, why could they not help? Or where was the father of her children and why couldn’t he help? I am not denying these people were in distressing conditions, but no questions why. The solution was always presented as more money from central government. But the BBC always fails to understand that more money from central government means more tax to be paid by everyone paying tax.

      Yes, heard it. What always strikes me in these cases is that, charity does begin at home and what makes an Somali immigrant family worth more than an English family?

    I have somehow managed to hear this programme twice.
    As part of my day job I sometimes get caught up in trying to find emergency accommodation (including someone who recently made themselves intentionally homeless and was horrified to find that she would not be given flat the same day, thus arriving in hospital because “she did not feel safe” in emergency accomodation with a shared bathroom).
    In the R4 programme there was no mention of the fathers of the 3 children and an utter belief that because they are a family then a house / flat should be arranged. There were complaints that the “emergency” accomodation was more expensive than providing a flat immediately. Surely the point of emergency accomodation is that it provides somewhere safe and warm in a state of crisis – not everyone should have access to long term funded housing in the area of their choice.

    Flicked on Radio 4 in the loo – “The Unbelievable Truth” and the first words out of his mouth for the intro? A jibe about Trump. So witty, so original, so inventive and inspired, so I TURNED IT OFF.

      Most are already dismissing this news because it’s not possible for the FBI to get a fair conclusion of 650,000 emails in just a few days. Many are even theorising that this was the plan all along, to reopen and close the investigation with days to spare so the media can exonerate her and claim this means people should vote for her after all. It should completely backfire as the nature by which the investigation was handled just confirms most peoples’ suspicions of collusion between the FBI and the government.

    Anyone who wants a real laugh -and a taste of how biased media can be- should tune in now to BBC News 24 where a pro-Clinton presenter has been joined by two pro-Clinton ”tomorrow’s press” reviewers to reinforce each others’ outrage that the peerless and pure Clinton was ever subjected to anything so unnecessary as an FBI investigation in the first place.

    Handy hint; remember to have a sickbag ready and available.

    More Or Less had a ‘good news’ section this week.

    We had two women reporters to tell us that the number of women legislators around the world was ‘progressing’ and ‘moving in the right direction’**.

    That this is ‘good news’, ‘progressing’ and ‘right direction’ are opinions not facts.

    Has the quality of legislation around the world improved, or is that not important to the BBC?

    [** In one African country they are in the majority so doesn’t that require a reversal of direction there?]

    BBC eulogising Clinton yet again now with an upbeat campaign report, just in case anyone missed how vilely misused the poor innocent lamb has been. Someone on now from the States talking about Hillary’s message of ”unity and hope”. I thought for a moment it was someone from Team Clinton, but unsurprisingly it turned out to be the BBC’s own reporter.

    Wait, they’ve now turned to showing clips of Trump calling St. Hillary ”corrupt” and suggesting that ”doubts about his temperament persist”. Then screening one US interviewee who’s ”very sad” about the ”tone of the campaign”.

    I’m certainly no Trump fan but how on earth does this vile broadcaster ever get away with half of its news/current affairs output? Has the Charter been scrapped so Auntie doesn’t even need to pretend to be abiding by its requirements anymore?

    There is a superb, succinct, detailed analysis here (listen from around 1m25secs in to about 6m30s – 7m to hear it) by Sean Bergin on the Political Cesspool yesterday; of what prompted the FBI to renew its investigation of Clinton and her emails. The corruption and depravity of the Clintons and their coterie are staggering in their scale.

    BTW There was another thing about the BBC2 doco about cop that shot a shoplifter kid.
    It wasn’t an anti-black thing cos the cop had previously shot a white kid in similar circumstances ..No one knew that until after to keep the court case clean.

    Neither kid was armed, neither would have died if policing was more careful. It seems this cop is trigger happy or it’s a product of working alone.*

    As I said the doco was quite straight not appearing to take an angle
    But the black activists did have an angle, the normal chip on the shoulder angle, like the mother was screaming for vengeance that the cop must suffer

    * That police dept must bear responsibility for their system and training. If the cop had been in a pair they would have been able to cover each other so wouldn’t have been so jumpy.
    So it was unlawful killing, but fault of the system/training.
    – I see no point in prosecuting the cops or army who accidentally kill people, cos serving is already like being a prisoner anyway, they are already giving more than the normal citizen, and the screwups are not a direct profit to them like corruption would be.

      Maybe… a few, a very few journalists and editors with slight glimmers of integrity have realised that they are pretty much at the core of the cess pit that out of 350M Americans and 70M in the UK has seen Trump and Clinton and Blair, Brown, Miliband & Corbyn, and Patten and Chakrabarti somehow ooze to the top thanks to their machinations?

      Or… as with the fall of the wall, it has sunk in that what was once felt worth recording may be read by a less than forgiving audience?

        Clinton has a strong belief in failed multiculturalism.

        Clinton’s core vote is the non white American and the Liberal,politically correct,safe space, pro open borders White.

        Now if I was a White American how would I vote, for my destruction or against it?
