    I see Nigel Farage has started the ball rolling by calling Barrack Obama a ‘loathsome individual’. Just as an increasing number of sleezy, illegal and demeaning revelations will perhaps weaken the current enthusiasm for the First Woman President that Never Was, the truth behind the man who is, was and ever will be virulently anti-British – very specifically anti-English – and very probably the most vacillating and ineffective President of recent times, may well become more public. Not on the BBC though.

      Cameron and Corbyn’s UAF are calling for no platform for Marr’s interview with Marine le Pen. How will the BBC take the side of the comrades standing outside the studios?
      Actually the protesters look like extras from the Night of the Living Dead

      BBC’s Andrew Marr show will be interviewing Le Front National’s Marine Le Pen this Sunday. UAF has called this protest outside BBC HQ Portland Place to say no Platform for fascism on the licence fee! Nearest tube: Oxford Circus

    Earlier this evening, Eddie Mair gave us an impartial run-down of some of President-elect Trump’s potential cabinet appointees. To provide some balance, he got opinions from a left wing anti-Trump journalist from the ‘Independent’ who was scathing about Gingrich, Giuliani etc. and then an alternative view from a Fox news journalist.

    OOps what am I saying? He just had the first guy doing the hatchet job, I made the other one up.

      Yes, who is Chimamanda? She’s just described her emotions evoked by Trumps victory, then accused the guy from the American Spectator of being “paytronising” for pointing this out.

      Then the guy from the American Spectator was told he didn’t get to say what was racist because he was a white man, he then pointed out that Chimamandas constructed argument was Marxist and so on her terms, anything he said was immediately invalidated, precisely because he was white.

      Dialogue of the deaf I’m afraid, presided over by a Beeboid who had to have explained to her that the Knights of St Columba is not related to the KKK and not an extremist organisation, but an association of Catholic men…..Chimamanda dismissed it as “the Knights of Saint whoever”……what an unpleasant woman she was, and Beeboid just came across as ill informed.

      I feel violated watching and listening to the utterly moronic and Trump hating Emily Maitlis with a white hating, completely bigoted, and hardcore fascist lunatic woman Pascal Chimbonda (who has changed since he used to play for Spurs) attacking Trump and all of his voters with made up statements (created by the media), falsehoods, lies, bigotry, personal attacks, and sickening racism towards white people!

      The way Al Shabeeb have utterly conflated lies, allegations, and misreporting into truth and historically fact is sickening and disgraceful. Never has a group of people ever received such utter hatred, distain, ridicule and slander as the MSM and their fascist Gestapo (like that thick Chimbonda cretin) attack white America with!

    As stated by someone on another site.

    How the hell did the media manage to persuade gullible voters that Trump
    a) was a war monger and about the start WWIII
    b) Was Putins bestest Buddy

    The two are mutually incompatible !

    I guess a lie told often enough becomes the truth.

    Stuck in a hotel room in Munich at the moment and flicking through the channels. Wall to wall Trump assassination articles from bBBC and Sky News, Jerry Springer on how about the founding fathers would have welcomed all races and religions (even those who wanted them dead!) How Trump is replacing the Statue of Liberty with a wall. Even had an ex, so called squeeze who reckons he “groped”her and is in talks with her lawyer, (Soros footing the bill?) She doesn’t care he’s going to be the most powerful man in the world, he has to pay and the world needs to know what sort of man he is. Sky making out that improving relations with Putin and Russia is, in some way, a bad thing. Maybe they think he should take the Shrillary approach to the ruskies, that’ll turn out well,not!
    I don’t remember this sort of naval gazing and the exhumation and examination of disgruntled republican voters, from the meeja, after Obama’s two wins, does anyone else?

    Might I suggest readers take a peek at this piece of insight about the US Election

    http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about/

    Love this part:

    The savages are coming.

    Blacks riot, Muslims set bombs, gays spread AIDS, Mexican cartels behead children, atheists tear down Christmas trees. Meanwhile, those liberal Lena Dunhams in their $5,000-a-month apartments sip wine and say, “But those white Christians are the real problem!” Terror victims scream in the street next to their own severed limbs, and the response from the elites is to cry about how men should be allowed to use women’s restrooms and how it’s cruel to keep chickens in cages.

    Madness. Their heads are so far up their asses that they can’t tell up from down. Basic, obvious truths that have gone unquestioned for thousands of years now get laughed at and shouted down — the fact that hard work is better than dependence on government, that children do better with both parents in the picture, that peace is better than rioting, that a strict moral code is better than blithe hedonism, that humans tend to value things they’ve earned more than what they get for free, that not getting exploded by a bomb is better than getting exploded by a bomb.

    Or as they say out in the country, “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”

    Then get to the bottom & read the comments

    Thursday I sat down with the Times stats page
    I found some Surprising voter swings

    (A bit of caution it is the local demographic that counts so I’d take national figs with a pinch of salt .. as Trump simply was not targetting areas which were entrenched Democrats)

    Overall
    Swing of Women to Clinton was +1%
    Swing of white people to Trump +1%
    (yes that small)

    The YOUTH vote was a +5% swing towards Trump ! (18-29)
    similarly the middled aged +5%
    It was the over 65’s who swung to Hillary 4% (baby boomers I guess)

    Religions swung to Trump abt +8%, except Jewish -8%

    College educated +10% Trump
    Graduates and postgrad +8% Hillary

    The “vote with my race swing”
    11% Asian swing to Hillary
    8% Hispanic swing to Hillary
    7% Black swing to Hillary
    (Staggeringly only 12% of Blacks voted for Trump, 4% of black women
    despite his pledges to help ALL)
    ..I guess he didn’t need to bribe Black voters at everyone else’s expense.
    (So he’s got some major reaching out to do
    ..Maybe he can get direct to the people instead of Black Lives Matter leaders)

    – Gore and Kerry both did significantly better than Hillary in electoral college votes !
    BBC said Hillary got 6 million less votes LESS than Obama
    (Remember turnout was quite high : this time 56% … 57.5% in 2012)

    The poor old BBC is just a joke now. The Newsnight special was embarrassing. Maitlis is as incompetent as she is biased. Poor stuff and I assume it cost us taxpayers a lot of money.
    And then the Hislop and Merton self promoting show. Truly as bad as I can recall. Just vitrolic ill informed abuse directed at the next President and by implication the millions who voted for him.
    I really hope it is bought to Mr Trump’s attention as an example of our elite’s real view of him. Then he can kick the BBC the hell out of the USA and good riddance.
    This is not broadcasting. It is something very nasty indeed and I object to it.
    The United Sates is our old ally and that the BBC can condone such puerile bile is rather telling of the real state of our elite class. As cowardly useless as it is patronising. Let the European spring of Gert Wilders flourish and these dreadful people learn to face reality and us.

      Watching Hislop and Co, you got the out of date left-wing dogmatic view that Trump could start a nuclear war with Russia.
      Watching the Presidential debates, you got the impression that Hilary Clinton was a Russophobe who could start a nuclear war with Russia.
      But watching Russia Today you get the impression that Trump is a peacemaker.

      So we have:
      (1) Trump is an Islamaphobe, but Islamic State “CANNOT” retaliate with Nuclear Bombs.
      (2) Clinton is a Russophobe, but Russia “CAN” retaliate with Nuclear bombs.

      Therefore, the world is safer with Trump, and no one at Private Eye watched the Presidential debates.

      Ian Hislop has allowed his anti Brexit and anti Trump feelings to colour Private Eye’s recent offerings. Nothing wrong with that; he is selling a product which people won’t buy if they dislike. Indeed he dropped a rather crass cartoon series called Ukippers which portrayed UKIP supporters as none too bright, when readers pointed out that it might reduce his sales.
      On HIGNFY of course these views are repeated, but importantly no-one can opt out of paying for them. There are so many BBC shows that I cannot now watch because I find them repulsive and hateful; why should I have to pay for them?

      Yes ITV seem to be competing with BBC and c4 to out-trump them. The 10pm news included several interviews with US Muslims fearful of the consequences. Unfortunately one of the headscarfed creatures mispoke when she claimed that Trump’s supporters were “trying to get their country back”.
      Did she mean that someone had stolen their country? Who could that be? The reporter didn’t ask, perhaps he felt that the answer was obvious to every viewer.

      The use of the word ‘denier’ is very telling. It was deliberately chosen by the far Left activists behind the ‘Man Made Global Warming’ scare to link climate realism to holocaust denial. Its use by news organisations shows you exactly where they get their ideas from.

        Ah! well StewGreen that is because we are ‘mere mortals’ and don’t understand the Science! The BBC are concerned that we never learn from the BBC (CBBC) repeats of Tely Tubbies and Telly-soap operas (includes Universty Challnge) and now they have much BIGGER educational project in hand… (From The Times 4/11/16) a cutting excerpt is below:
        ‘BBC aims to create next generation of scientists’ The BBC is to launch its largest science project in a bid to create the next generation of inventors, Lord Hall will say today.’ Key points in article‘’new focus in primary schools’, ‘especially for girls’. Children will be asked what are the effects of clocks being turned back! (Wow!) Henley Business School has learned that ‘we are a great Trading nation’ errh what? Is Lord Haw Haw forgetting entirely what a great public sponger (and train wreck) the BBC actually are (and how little they actually ‘sell’ in programming per capita of public funds). Anyway te BBC says ‘its all about to start in November 2017’ (link below) and then I read further (Lord Hall again) some some waffle about the BBC ‘Micro Bit’ (which is is a collection of idiot flashing lights for bored children with a five minute attention span). (off record: A school happily showed me a large unused box with no intention of using any of it. Thats the value for money Science broadcast by the BBC. University Challenge for the generation snowflake. Seems some way off. Don’t be nasty Paxman or I’’’ scweammm!

        Meanwhile the BBC is serious about Science! The younger they are the better…. Let the BBC educate your children. In a small room. Lights off, TV on and nobody knows anything. Kids: Its called the Saville effect, not suitable for children under the age of 12. The BBC age of consent required. Its BBC Science, – so lets gloss over the past and see what’s in the crystal ball shall we?

      The BBC really haven’t got a clue. Trump supporters did not reveal their voting intentions in the polls so they were hardly likely to say who they actually voted for in the exit polls. All this talk of uneducated racist bigots applies only to those who continually rely on false polling to generate agenda driven news items.

    I watched a great video on YouTube tonight where a guy was saying that the MSM are finished due to the rise of “alternative” media i.e the rise of the internet and what we saw during the American election with the MSM being called out and the real truth being spread on Social Media, YouTube and every other outlet on the internet.

    Unfortunately, although they’ve had a kicking, the BBC/MSM still think they’re the world authority on controlling the agenda but I do think the dragon has been slain and is just not going down quietly.

    I’m sick of the continued and relentless Trump attacks on the BBC(nothing less was expected) but something tells me that in the real world nobody is watching anymore…..

      I think they’ll step it up a gear. What else can they do? Nobody in the organisation has any time for ‘common sense’ or even mildly robust policies. They follow the Goebbels doctrine – i.e. always tell a big lie and then people will think there is at least an element of truth to it. It’s worked for a long time, but the internet has broken their grip.

      In the past people that realised the BBC’s game would have been considered a nut or pub bore. There was no way to catalogue to the bias or meet like minded people.

    At least 6 of the jihidis who murdered 215 people in Paris last November, were refugees. Many were asylum seekers from Syria.

    20 victims have not been able to leave hospital since that day, because of their injuries. 600 still have to return regularly to hospital for ongoing treatment.

    Nice attacker Mohamed Bouhlel was involved in “No Borders” activism before butchering 85 men, women and children.

    A distraught woman on World At One felt Trump was appalling in wanting to send illegal immigrants ‘back home’. No one challanged her.

    On R5 live Emma Barnett interviewed a French man whose son was murdered at the Bataclan, along with 89 others, with 200 were wounded, some dreadfully. It was an emotional, difficult to listen to interview, experiencing the depths of agony of his loss. Not once did they venture onto the grounds of asking why or who did it.

    Tell me why there shouldn’t be unregulated immigration please, people seem to have forgotten. Trump wants Muslims entering the US to be vetted. Who, other than the BBC, has any serious issue with that necessary and minimal action?

      Working backwards, unless something dramatically changed during Obama’s second Term AND contrary to what Hillary Clinton said in her concession speech, entry into the US is one of the most regulated and checked whether for tourism, study, work or permanent migration. If I recall correctly, they are only outdone by Australia, India and probably North Korea and Iran, maybe some other smaller states elsewhere.

      The number of Green Cards (temporary Residence & Work Permit) available to Britons each year numbers in the mid-ten thousands, five for English/Welsh, six for Scots plus, I think, seven for Irish born (may be mis-remembering there); in total – about 20,000 for this part of Europe.

      Why should there not be unregulated immigration? For much of the world there was none until the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. What stopped it? Events similar to what happened at the Bataclan last year. Oh, and the First World War, the advent of Communism and the Russian Revolution followed by WW2 and the Cold War did not help either. There are a few events there (there are more since – don’t mention the Global Warming) that the ‘so-called Left’ brought into being or helped along big time.

      Maybe if ‘the Left’ had behaved a LOT better, they – and we – could be enjoying what they claim to want, a world without borders now, that is open to absolutely anyone.

      Instead, they have messed things up big time.

    I think I remember watching Britain’s ‘Old Contemptibles’ marching on Remembrance Day parades when I was young. (Probably you all know Kaiser Wilhelm allegedly referred to the British Expeditionary Force of August-November 1914 as ‘General French’s contemptible little army’. The survivors proudly adopted the insult.)

    Failing to learn from history, Kaiser Hil described half of Trump’s supporters as a ‘basket of deplorables’. This backfired so badly, his supporters have been buying tee-shirts and mugs claiming the name. Apparently you can buy a pendant inscribed: ‘Call me deplorable – Trump 2016’.

    Do you think there are any insults from the British left that we on Biased BBC can adopt? Goodness knows there’s enough of a choice – from Little Englanders to swivel-eyed loons.

The interviewers asked him to explain what algorithms are and the expert gave a quick and simple answer in relation to internet search engines but the interviewers, Roger and Naga, decided to talk over him at the same time with their incorrect understanding so they learned nothing from asking the question.

    They then cut to Saturday Kitchen Live to show who is on later. Cut back to the BBC Breakfast studio and Naga says “a food recipe is an algorithm”. Roger thinking he is the smart one replies “but if you had the 3 people cooking the same recipe you could get 3 different results”.

    Anybody else catch last night’s The Last Leg? It was remorselessly anti-Trump of course.

    Actually it was more than remorseless, because this week we were treated to two episodes.

    But two things stood out for me from last night’s programme:

    1. The host Adam Hills repeating the claims that following the election there were alleged rise in attacks on Latinos, and alleged attacks on women, with alleged gropings using the language of Trump. Alleged this, alleged that. Not a single mention of the actual riots, actual anti-Trump violent, actual anti-democratic protests and actual death threats aimed at Trump. This is just a rerun of the Brexit lies. The script is written, and these so-called satirists don’t actually know how to steer away from the script.

    2. There was a brief moment when Alex Brooker DID steer away from the script. There was a uncomfortable silence from Adam Hills and the audience whilst Alex Brooker briefly made some sensible comments. Such is the groupthink that they (the people who make these programmes and those that happily watch them) can’t cope with any modicum of different views. I did sense that both Alex Brooker and Josh Widdecome were ever so slightly self-aware that they were repeating propaganda.

Hand-in-hand with the BBC, we know that their knowledge, expertise and sound commonsense are helping us to cope and appreciate words like ‘schadenfreude’ at the same time. Thank you so much.

    They won’t feel it in the short term aftershock, but in the mid to long term their power base is ebbing away.

    I went on an MSM blackout last Sunday and with only one or two exceptions (being somewhere else with a TV on) I’ve stuck to it.

    It is entirely predictable what all of these talking heads and celebrities say – they hate white people, they love black people, they love queers – we get the memo. I wouldn’t need to turn on a programme such as that Adam Hills one, it’s a foregone conclusion what the rhetoric will be.

    And it goes without saying that I will not pay money for any newspaper carrying anti white propaganda or financially contribute to any celebrity who engages in race baiting.

    This isn’t a boycott; it’s a process of complete disengagement from opportunistic sectarian bigots.

Who are they trying to convince beyond the already brainwashed sheeple who believe the bullshit they propagate?! How on earth do these guilt rapists still think that using lies and deceit to attack people emotions and humanity is still successful… Considering how epically they have failed with Brexit and King Trump?!?

    Today it’s the turn of a Reichskriminaldirektor in the Al Shabeeb Gestapo, Jenny Hill, who uses the context of a great and sensible headline statement of “Trump’s rude awakening for Germany” to instead offer up her own hate filled, bigoted, fascist personal views on white people and of course the new anti-christ Donald Trump.

    This entire article is a devious, conniving piece of lies, misreporting, and non truth..a complete work of fiction created by persons bigotry and snowflake emotional retardation (if there are any cats around I would advise you to get them out of sight before reading these, as they will get kicked to death…)……

    “A few hours after US President-elect Donald Trump took to the stage to make his acceptance speech, as evening fell in Berlin, small candles were quietly lit and carefully placed in front of aged, stone doorsteps and along the darkening pavements” (setting the scene of peace and tranquillity… I know, devious bastards!!)

    “Berliners were marking the anniversary of Kristallnacht (when Jewish people and their businesses were violently attacked in 1938).
    It was barely noted amid the febrile howl of international reaction to the US election” (This section is clearly designed to push the viewer to connect and attach one of the worst ever moments in the history of mankind with whatever else is going to be stated in the article… It also creates any victims in the article as unchangeable experts… Again, you devious bastards Al Shabeeb!!)

    “Neither was the 27th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which shares the same date.
    But both events – and all that they represent of this country’s past – explain, partially at least, why Germans were so repulsed by Donald Trump’s election rhetoric and why so few (4% by one poll’s reckoning) wanted him in the White House”……Bingo!!!!!! There we go folks!! Donald Trump, the movement that created him, the reasons for voting for him, the intensions of those who voted for him, are the same or at least unintentionally comparable to the slaughter and murder of millions of innocent Jews by Nazi Germany!!!! How disgusting, horrific, and into the gutter will Al Shabeeb go to attack people it disagrees with?!?

    We then have Jenny painting a world that clearly only exists in the minds of crack heads after taking a hit and Al Shabeeb Cultists who are living in a parallel universe, as Caliph Obama is everything pure, Mad Merkel has never done anything wrong ever, and the West is under attack by hordes of far right psychopaths who are slaughtering all none white people in their paths….

    I can’t link the article as I am on my mobile. It’s utterly shocking folks and if it wasn’t for the fact that brexit and Trump have already proven that the majority of people don’t believe this bullshit, I would change race to become Muslim and carry out Allahs instruction on the traitorous, white hating infidels that infest Al Beebistan

    Revelation for the BBC!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-37936514

    Stress ‘changes brains of boys and girls differently’

    What? You mean there is a difference in the way that male and female brains work just as scientists have been saying since the 1960s? You mean the BBC, The Guardian, the thicker social scientists, Feminists, left wingers have all been wrong?

    According to the BBC, the report says: “A part of the brain linked to emotions and empathy, called the insula, was found to be particularly small in girls who had suffered trauma.
    But in traumatised boys, the insula was larger than usual.
    This could explain why girls are more likely than boys to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the researchers said.”

    All this has been known for years.

    Had the BBC writer not been a humanities graduate he/she would have known the insular is different in men and women from birth. Thus, leading to the fact women react differently to stress, why women are more likely to suffer from guilt and fear.

    Ah, so that’s why there aren’t so many women near the top. I thought it was because horrible smelly men had built a glass ceiling and spent all their time keeping women down.

    Don’t worry, it’s science, so most BBC staff member’s eyes will glaze over and it will be business as usual tomorrow.

        All inflicted on the poor mites dumped in state schools, yet oddly ignored by Grammar and Private schools, the very schools from which most Guardian writers, Labour MPS, BBC producers graduated and to which they send their own Tristan and Isoldes.

        In other words, even when they know the theory is bonkers they still spread it and spew hate on anyone who counters their batty arguments.
