“”US Election 2016: Are hate crimes spiking after Trump’s victory?””
“”Dozens of reports of alleged hate crimes have surfaced on social media in the wake of the election of Donald Trump””
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37945386
More BBC anti-Trump drivel.
Dozens of reports….surfaced on social media?? And this is reliable??
Even if true, dozens over a few days out of a population of 300 million amounts to nothing.
There were many reports of hate crime on social media following Brexit. I assume they all stopped when the three wise judges put a brake on Brexit.
In the same way that ‘Hate Crimes’ multiplied after the Brexit vote , they NEVER change their line of attack .
”US Election 2016: Are hate crimes spiking after Trump’s victory?”
Hate crimes on the BBC, Yes: There are lots of Clinton supporters on the BBC, who hate losing so much that they have turned to showing hatred of the winners. So I do not mind if they arrest them for ”Hate Crimes” against Donald Trump.
But Trump supporters are far too happy to bother hating Clinton and her supporters, anymore. So hate crimes by Trump supporters are now in the past, unless they hate being violently attacked by disappointed Clinton supporters.
Copy paste job…Top notch journalism from the BBC LOL!
This is brilliant. A remake of the John Lewis Christmas advert with Trump the Boxer
http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/12/laugh-then-cry-thanks-to-this-john-lewis-christmas-advert-parody-with-hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump-6252915/
Here is the original John Lewis Christmas advert. Sorry – it was split up in the previous column
Trying the Brexit tactics – Gina Miller will be along next demanding a re run as she doesn’t like the result (who the fk is Gina Miller to try and stop a democratic vote she should have been thrown out of court)
Agreed. I’m am nigh sick of these democracy deniers so beloved of the left being given so much air time by the BBC.
There’s nothing the left hate more than the ‘little people’ being able to vote against their superiors. I’m sure they would justify giving themselves two votes each to sway any election. Thereby ensuring the ‘correct result’ is always obtained.
After all, what’s the point in being a member of the master race if you don’t have absolute power to control the lives of your inferiors?
Fascists.
Oh the things which slip out between the cracks of the BBC interviews, and this one might really surprise you that it hasn’t been heard in the UK before, even on a site like this.
The BBC position appears to be that the Obamessiah is perfect, and that if only it was possible for him to have stood for president for a third term he would have easily won.
This is of course not the truth.
Obamas record in government has been far from perfect, and was a factor in Clintons defeat, you would never know this living in BBC lala land because they’ve never told you something they didn’t want to be true.
For the majority of people living in ignorance they have a desperately distorted picture of what’s going on in the world.
Democrat in Texas, which is staunch Republican, ‘I don’t understand it, Trump only got a handful of votes and this is a Democrat town (the houses either side had Trump stickers)so we’re living in a bubble of none hating.’
I just really puzzle over what goes on in the minds of such people. It’s like their perception of reality is seriously off.
Just been exposed to a repeat of Radio 4’s ‘comedy’ half hour of the ‘The Now show’ with Steve Cnt, etc. The canned laughter was turned up to 11 with ‘jokes’ about death threats to ‘lying’ Trump. What would have been said if the shoe was on the other foot and the real lying Killary had won?
They were beyond parody, listen at 11m.45s:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b081tjhg
Sounds like she could be describing another useful Danish idiot (klaphat), Sandi Tosswig on QI?
Anyway I have been wanting to post this little ditty for some time to all those celebrity cupcakes, sorry snowflakes, out there who have still not emigrated to Canada as promised:-
Boy that feels better; and I have also not felt the need to destroy my local neighbourhood…
I lasted 8 minutes. Particularly nauseated by the “joke” done in local accent of course, about the Scottish local newspaper reporting the Trump victory. The “comedians” obviously didn’t get the irony of London centric luvvies having a go at a minority group.
I just don’t ‘get’ all the weeping wailing and whingeing over Donald Trump becoming President. Those interviewed are worried/concerned/fearful of the future – um, unless I’m wrong but isn’t this just a FOUR year (possibly eight) year term we’re talking about ? to listen to those whining its a lifetime sentence ! Dear God, a 4 year term ain’t that long – the last year is spent campaigning for a second term anyway, so if they don’t like it vote him out next time. Where IS the intelligence of these people ? but then, seeing those interviewed, most are the under 30s again who just like waving cardboard placards. Similar to those who sobbed at the thought of having to get a Visa for their next Spanish holiday after Brexit. Pathetic.
Think maybe you need a degree in psychiatry in order to come to any understanding?
Then again, maybe it’s a virus or some pollutant that not all of us are susceptible to? Sure beats me.
Wasn’t it Obama and the Democrats who were telling Trump to stop whining recently, now whose doing the whining? Complete and total scum.
They didn’t get their own way. They don’t like that because they are ‘good’ and their opponents are ‘bad’.
I think the most important step to political maturity is to acknowledge that ultimately everybody wants fundamentally the same things – a nice country with good schools and hospitals. They just disagree on how to do it.
The culture wars have added a toxic element to the political mix – e.g. if you’re against open borders you’re a laycist. No attempt is made to listen to the oppositions reasoning.
http://tinypic.com/r/2010ith/9
Ah, beaten to it above. And their video showed up.
So is it true that Mr Gary ‘can’t stop kissing my own arse’ Lineker has persuaded Lego to ‘Stop funding hate’ by not advertising in the Daily Mail anymore? Also trying to achieve the same with Walkers crisps and other companies?
Will there be no end to this stream of tax dodging, multi-millionaire, self aggrandising, narcissistic, blinkered dick-holes.
Ah well. Don’t buy Lego, Walkers, Unilever, European beer, etc, etc. SO the list grows Somebody will surely realise that they are cutting of their own noses…..surley?
Have we seen St Lineker’s tax return?
When you start a boycott you need to write to the CEO and explain what you’re doing. Even if they dismiss you as a crank, if they have a dip in sales it will be in the back of their minds.
The NGO organising the boycott trade with the Daily Mail campaign is effectively a BLACKMAILER
“say what we want you to say, otherwise there will be financial consequences”
– Offence that the Daily Mail may cause is trumped by their right to free speech (with the only limit being incitement to violent action)
There are sound reasons why people should not indulge in consumers boycotts, but just buy the best product.
#1 It hurt the ordinary worker, it is not his fault if a director of the crisp factory says something someone else finds “homophobic” or something.
#2 Public bodies should not indulge in such virtue signalling, as it leads to them getting a worse deal for the PUBLIC money they spend. eg they shouldn’t be boycotting contractors for spurious reasons.
#3 It is anti-Diversity of thought and free speech. Ideally newspapers should give their own honestly help opinions not self censor.
AS I said it is blackmail.
BTW Lego have not started a boycott against the DM, they have simply not continued the contract.
The NGO is twisting that to claim credit ..and blackmail further companies
Ideally the courts should intervene and say the NGO is interfering with the fundamental right to free speech.
The reason why Lego would do biz with the DM is not to support the DM’s headlines but because the DM is the UK’s largest selling newspaper.
It should be one of the first places for government ads.
Secondly the BBC is DISCRIMINATING by class by failing to place its job ads there and only in the Guardian instead. How can the BBC workforce represent the UK’s demographic if job ads are only in a minority cult newspaper ?
oops typos
“It hurts the ordinary worker”
“honestly held”
Why do I punish myself by listening to foul garbage like The Now Show? I’ve had man flu and was feeling groggy and sorry for myself, lying on the couch. I needed cheering up! This is billed as a comedy, but as we all know, BBC “comedies” are little more than ultra left wing bile and propaganda This edition was excruciating.
Some gormless, antipodean bint had a pop at both George W Bush and The Donald with this quip. “Bush is pleased with Trump’s election success because he’s no longer the biggest piece of excrement that has occupied the Oval Office”. Oscar Wilde it isn’t! Later, this same charming “lady” referred to Nigel Farage as “a wanker.” Naturally this remark received the usual hoots and whoops of approbation.
The BBC used to give us people like Morcambe and Wise, Dick Emery, Dave Allen etc. Some really talented, funny men. Now they seem to trawl through sewers to dredge up the filthiest and foulest unfunny, untalented dross that you could imagine.
The last time I had this much fun lying on a couch the dentist was ripping out my wisdom teeth.
Nonsense Jeff!
Al beebus do great comedy but instead of Morecambe and Wise; Dave Allen; Spike Milligan; Ronnie Barker; Rowan Atkinson etc we now have David Dimbleby; Evan Davis; Nick Robinson; James Naughtie; Justin Webb and Emily Maitliss all very, very funny people. I, for one, find myself laughing uncontrollably at all the zany and off-the-wall things they say whenever they appear on screen or on air.
There have been some good comedy programs on the BBC however there’s a twist.
2012, the Olympic parody and W12. (Something like that) taking the Mickey out of the BBC were both funny and it was because they were showing PC in all its childish stupidity.
They can do it but mostly they don’t.
I watched hignfy and it was absolutely awful. It used to be funny but it’s now just a succession of anti Trump and anti Brexit rants by the five on the show cheered to the roof by a selected audience.
Al schubtill
I don’t want to nitpick but I think you are confusing clowns with comedians.
I caught a bit of the “NewsShite Special” yesterday, but I had to switch off as I felt a bit like an 18th century aristocrat laughing at the antics of Bedlamites. You know the thing – a loon who thinks he is Caesar arguing with someone else who thinks he is Frederick the Great. Neil with serious face talking to the oracle Kissinger, pontificating about the future of the world as if they knew shit is amusing in the same way.
Good point, ID; “clowns” is far more apt.
People doing nothing was quite funny – but was also ridiculing the white working/benefits class. I think everybody is fair game, so that wouldn’t bother me, if they had the balls to pick on somebody else occasionally.
I am really enjoying the season of Black programmes from the BBC archives which are being shown at the moment. Does anyone know when The Black And White Minstrel Show is going to be on?
Maybe straight after the Marmalade advert !!!!
It was Hillary that said, “If they go low – we go high.”
Contrary to that, the BBC seems to be irrevocably heading for the bottom.
I’ve commented before on post watershed talk we now hear all thru’ the BBC day.
Have you seen the Regressives new tactic for destroying the free press?
The replies are truly vomit inducing! “Thank you @Lego… I know what to buy Max for xmas now!
Anyway don’t forget the hashtag #StopFundingObesity it would be so wrong for these poor ickle refugees who get to choose their age to be fattened up on a diet of Walkers and the western practice of zelebrity endorsement.

Note the individual references to sections of the Quaran.
“When the case went to court in January this year, the teen, identified as Wahab M., was given a 20-month jail sentence. He will not be deported when he is released because the punishment is not more than three years.”
sickening. the grandmother went to help him and was raped and is seeking to kill herself. 20 months!
How BBC News handles this will be interesting.

Unless they pull their usual stunt and
Hi
I’ve complained to the BBC about a false story they published about one of the terrorist attacks in Paris. I went through the complaints procedure to the BBC Trust, but they ignored the evidence that the story was fake. It’s important because there is independent video evidence to prove that the story was fake. And the corollary is that the actors in that faked report were the same ones who allegedly were in the other Paris attacks. I don’t have time and resources to take it further, but maybe you and your readers would be interested? If so I can send you the documentation. I think the Trustees and their adviser have laid themselves open to charges of misconduct in public office.
Regards
Mark
(PS. I posted here because I can’t get through on the editorial contact form.)
Absolute rubbish MarkR. But don’t worry – you’ll be made welcome here.
Hi Piku, it’s a bit premature to rubbish it without seeing the video evidence isn’t it?
SOP in certain quarters. A bit like CECUTT by coincidence.
I’ve seen the video. It isn’t evidence of anything.
Your belief is noted.
In what capacity did you come to view a video referred to here in terms I would have thought were so far abstract at best?
Abstract to you, not to me.
Welcome, Mark,
The topic of BBC complaints is the stuff of legend, and nightmares. And, sadly, set to get worse as the reins of oversight pass from colleagues in the Trust to ex-colleagues in OFCOM. It is cosy that way.
Ignoring evidence for the BBC is second nature. As is fabricating it under the dubious excuse of a ‘source’ (clearly protected in anonymity by the FOI exemption they trot out, which is essentially a licence to fiction sold as fact) or what ‘some are saying’ (ditto) or muttering about ‘truthiness’ or ‘a representation of the kind of thing X may have said, or done’, but remains shy on actual proof.
This is how the BBC is so renowned for transparency and consequent trust.
If shared here by the site Eds I will be fascinated, but don’t get your hopes up on charges.
At least not yet. But the tide is turning, and as STASI operatives discovered post fall of the wall, their activities in the past can still catch up with them.
So it is always worth pursuing, and sharing.
Thanks Guest Who. The Trust said they would use the BBC’s special exemption under the FOIA so really the only sanctions for a false story is Fraud,
Fraud by false representation
(1)A person is in breach of this section if he—
(a)dishonestly makes a false representation, and
(b)intends, by making the representation—
(i)to make a gain for himself or another, or
(ii)to cause loss to another or to expose another to a risk of loss.
(2)A representation is false if—
(a)it is untrue or misleading, and
(b)the person making it knows that it is, or might be, untrue or misleading
So false claims of climate change would fall under that heading.
Or,
Misconduct in public office (such as seriously misleading the public with a false news report) where a public officer acting as such wilfully neglects to perform his duty and/or wilfully misconducts himself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder without reasonable excuse or justification.
In the end, I think that legal sanction is the only way with the BBC.
Legal takes lotsa munny.
The BBC has bottomless pot, for now.
And, as we have discovered of late, the judiciary can ‘interpret’ the law like the BBC interprets events. Lord to Lord, nudge, nudge, wink wink.
There are a few, so very few MPs with some spine and integrity, so if your evidence is solid, they may be a better route.
Or the media. Not my champions of choice, but the DM may be a bit piqued with multi-million £ BBC non employee on the roster Gary at the moment for using his position to mess with their less unique income stream.
RE Election & Brexit Vote
How I wish someone would say something like this, accept the Brexit vote and stop blocking things. This is from a source I don’t normally use but I like to see different views on things. Take note Gina Miller, Nick Cleg, etc.
The view from a Democrat Senator opposing Harr Reid’s Comments. You won’t see this on the BBC, it is too conciliatory.
“We are Americans first, not Democrats or Republicans first,”.
“Unfortunately, there are some who forget that at times like these it is wrong to put party and politics above our country.”

http://www.markhorrell.com/blog/2016/the-bbc-top-gear-chimborazo-fiasco/
A few sacred archive icons trashed here, but as the balance seems equal I felt worthy of a share.
It has always seemed interesting than when it comes to trying to flog global franchises, the BBC’s frequent Eco-sensitivities get popped in the boot, or trunk for our friends across the pond.
And on that bombshell…
Eco-nutter Top-Gear-hater raves after getting letter from very amateur Top Gear producer requesting info about driving up glacier.
– The producer very amateur cos the blog clearly explains the Glacier isn’t remotely drivable.
I thought the Eco-nutter Top-Gear-hater assertions about the Falkland number plate certainly aren’t robust..Typical Guardian reader.
Lord Farage is in the USA meeting The Donald’s team. Here is Nigel’s interview with Fox News from this morning.
“This is the man who started a revolution, and now it’s worldwide.”
I dearly hope that Farage is offered an advisory role of some kind by Trump, regarding matters Brexit; at least in the U.S. there are some in the MSM who appreciate quite what a truly great thing it is that he has achieved and acknowledge it.
Sadly they tried very hard to ban Trump from entering the UK and some will still be of that mind. Had he been a genuine hate preacher or some kind of left loon or child transgender populariser from foreign parts he might have stood a chance but since he’s only the President of The United States of America ……………….
Oh yeah!

Trump`s got Manhatten-AfD will take Berlin.
It`s what Leonard might have wanted-great Friend of Israel, and maybe Trumps support of Israel(compared to the Democrats anyway) is the SOLE reason God let him win.
Worth a thought.
Still a surprise to me that the BBC has anything to do with Remembrance.
All those warmongers and xenophobes slaughtering our German ‘partners’ – not very BBC at all?
This is the video of fake Casa Nostra attack in Paris
It was originally published by the Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3324310/First-footage-Paris-terror-attacks-shows-diners-diving-cover-AK47-wielding-jihadist-sprays-caf-bullets-victim-escaped-gun-jammed.html
The DM have corrupted the video on their web page, but their fake story is still there.
The BBC unfortunately published an even more absurdly fake story about Casa Nostra before the DM published their video. So the the BBC story was checkably wrong.
See here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34820093
Almost without exception video of terrorist attacks is never available, and the authorities go out of their way to suppress them. Usually there is only indistinct amateur video that doesn’t in fact show any terrorist act. The Daily Mail carelessly “bought” the Casa Nostra security camera tapes without realising they were evidence of fakery. Amongst other things you’ll notice the bar at the back of the restaurant has been pixelated, evidence of security service interference. I won’t list my objections to the video yet, but welcome others opinions.
The spreading phenomena of fake news?
‘The BBC – The Worlds Most Fake Broadcaster’
“Nigel Farage arrives at Trump Towers as protesters close in”
http://news.sky.com/story/nigel-farage-pm-must-mend-fences-after-rude-trump-comments-10654947
Interesting times ahead?
Fascinating times we live in DS. Can I suggest that we are witnessing the death of the post-68 Liberal-Left? If so, then good riddance.
I see from photos in the story you linked to, that London Breitbart editor and former UKIP leadership candidate Raheem Kassam now finds himself in the lobby of Trump Tower with Nigel Farage. I wonder if former Breitbart boss Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos are waiting in the penthouse suite ready to escort them in to see Daddy? I would like to think so.
The level of vituperation directed by the BBC and the liberal media at Mr Trump is not something I have ever seen before directed at a major world leader. HIGNFY was particularly appalling. A complete panel vying with each other to spit out abuse at the man who will be the next President of our most important ally. It went far beyond criticism into sheer unpleasant and embarrassing filth.
I feel we should somehow make Mr Trump aware of this show and the others so that he may form his own conclusion as to the attitude of our media and our elites. Reported today in the Daily Mail is a comment by the Scottish Tory Ruth Davidson about Mr Trump that is simply unrepeatable so vile is it. It would be to ours and his advantage if Mr Trump will address his words to us directly and ignore the media and the establishment.
Mr Trump would be less than human were he not to take real offence at all this and it will inevitably colour his views to our detriment. But then stupidity is a recurrent feature of our ruling class.
This is not how a ruling class should behave. It lacks wisdom and foresight.
Having travelled extensively in the US at one time I know that the office of President is something they do not take kindly to being insulted by foreigners. The man and the office are one in a sense.
The BBC is out of any reasonable control now and starting to be a menace to the future and good order of the country. For that reason it needs abolition as any reform now will be useless.
After several disobliging remarks about Donald Trump by members of the Conservative government, during a time when they thought there was no chance he would become president, it is hardly necessary to ask why Theresa May should have been only the 11th in the order of world leaders he spoke to. Again, the stupidity of some politicians knows no bounds.
As Marine Le Pen and JC are on the Marr show would anyone be able to do an interruption index for each. Length of interview divided by the number of interruptions.
It might be instructive!
It appears snowflakes of all ages are getting upset about the BBC having a “fascist” on the show.
“It appears snowflakes of all ages are getting upset about the BBC having a “fascist” on the show. ”
That’s a bit unfair. Marr is only on once a week.
A piece on the Twitterstorm about Red Andy’s forthcoming interview with Marine Le Pen.
I wager he will ask her is she is a racist Islamophobic bigot like what Trump is.
I do hope that the protesters against the BBC giving a platform to this fascist will join the campaign to scrap the licence fee.
https://www.rt.com/uk/366511-bbc-le-pen-marr/
Yes G.W.F. Just like Emily Maitlis tried to do with Marine Le Pen back in the heady days of late June. At one point Le Pen tells Maitlis “It is time to stop with the propaganda. It is time to stop with the propaganda.”
Le Pen (like Farage and Wilders) is a formidable interviewee. There was no way Maitlis was going to best her, just as Marr will fail to do tomorrow.
What a remarkable politician Marine Le Pen is. She cannot be faulted on anything she says here. However, the attitude of Maitlis was appalling. She maintained a gloomy demeanour throughout, with none of her usual pleasantness and smiles when her interviewee meets with her approval – even putting on a ‘frightened’ face at one stage. This is bias at its most raw, and it is exactly what we have seen in other BBC news people on, for example, the election of Donald Trump.
Truth now is that Marine-like Geert, Donald , Nigel may once have been political gnat and pigmies.
But the left liberal elite have managed to turn every one of them into a colossus for our times.
And-flawed though each and every one of them are-on THE Big Issues of Today-are correct, were hated and feared for saying so and stepping out of the pens and reservation.
And now-in a single bound and with the full consent of their own people-each is wringing a miracle out the lefts discarded hankies, wet mattresses and phials of croc tears.
God is with each one of them-and 2017 will surely knock the leite even more of their perches-if indeed Juncker has not called for martial law by the time France, Germany and Holland have voted.
Anyone catch Branson bemoaning the lot of Obamacare ‘customers’ – like he really cares.
I have spent many hours slagging off the BBC but at least they get it right for tonights (and tomorrows) Remembrance Broadcasts.

John Pilger why Trump won
‘The truth is… there was no one to vote for’
(from RT : Going Underground US election special)
Wikileaks said : Clinton’s Pied Piper Strategy (use media contacts to promote Trump) has backfired spectacularly.
StewGreene
Good post, the key words “the exposure of journalism” .
Amazing world we now live in when I can agree with 95% of Pilger! He nails the MSM and the BBC’s antics during the Presidential election exactly.
BBC 24 Hour News at 11.35pm
Discussion on Sunday Newspapers tomorrow.
Who was on the panel? Only two.
1. Political Editor from the Independent.
2. Some bint from the Huffington Post.
I declined to watch.
Bias? What bias?
Looks like our colonial cousins are having the same agenda thrust down their throats as we are. Recorded a new Aussie TV drama on BBC4, set in Bondi I was hoping for plenty of tanned nubile blonde busty surfers, but instead we get a surly female cop, gay murder, Muslim immigrants, (one escaping because he was thrashed in Iran for sodomy…) and references to transgenderism.
Our feminist cop is convinced the perpetrator is a boxing middle aged white alpha male, but I’ll never find out, I won’t be watching > recording deleted. More BBC bollox.
Geof, I have lived in Australia since 2002, and the TV here has become very politically correct. All the channels were furiously anti-Trump. I thought they were going to play the funeral march when the shock victory news came through. The state-funded ABC (like BBC) and the ethnic minority orientated SBS have always been lefty, but the commercial channels have been catching them up in the last few years. My guess is that the turkey – I mean drama – you watched is an SBS job. They have the occasional good programme, but if they were honest they’d be called the anti-white-Anglo channel.
If you want tanned surfers, I’d suggest DVDs of old Baywatch or Hawaii Five-O episodes! At least they probably didn’t feature much PC brainwashing in those days.
Yes, what`s happened out there Helena? We used to rely on you for common sense when Paul Hogan was King, Kevin Bloody Wilson reigned?
Was it Gillard or Rudd who started the brain rot-or the death of Steve Irwin that turned your great country into some sandplay for therapists?
Geoff.
I too was very disappointed with this offering, having spent many happy hours watching BBC4 Saturday night foreign crime dramas recently.
Particularly grating was the presence of the burly (white and old, of course) senior cop who bullied the female lead cop and even seemed to relish the past where “poofter bashing” was a widespread sport on the Sydney beaches. Virtually every sentence from him contained the insult “prick”. I had a strange feeling after a while that perhaps this was meant to be a parody of a man who has just been elected US president.
It also amazes me how a very small woman cop, probably less than 7 stone is able to take down the 15 stone baddies with a flick of the wrist. Superior intellect no doubt as she is female.
Another fascinating scene showed the anguished mother of the murdered muslim man, unable to accept that there had to be a post-mortem. The mother was shown distressed and inconsolable by the insensitive and racist application of the country’s laws.
Apologies to anyone who might want to watch for not giving a spoiler alert.
The bBC, its leftwing agenda and how it lies in which to promote that agenda:
Indian tea workers’ conditions remain very poor
If you are drinking tea, I suggest you put down the cup right now because I’ve got bad news for you. You can forget those pretty pictures of happy women in saris on rolling green hillsides that you see on some tea packets. That is not the reality for most tea workers.
Last year, I was part of a BBC team that revealed the appalling conditions for workers and their families on estates that grow tea for some of the biggest brands in the world…So what can be done? Here is what campaigners such as Anirudha Nagar want to see happen.
First, pick up that cup of tea again. The answer is not to stop drinking tea.
But campaigners argue that tea is just too cheap. They say the big brands need to pay fairer prices to plantations so they in turn can afford decent wages and conditions for workers…And campaigners believe tea lovers can help too, by using their voice and influence to keep companies honest.
They want consumers to tell tea companies that conditions of the workers matter to them, and to challenge their favourite brand about what it is doing to ensure that its employees have decent homes and enough money to buy nutritious food.
And once you’ve sent that text, email or tweet, put the kettle back on. You will have earned yourself a nice cup of tea.
Here is what the bBC isn’t telling you about who exports tea into the UK:
1)Kenya: $160.2 million (down -24.7%)
2)India: $61.6 million (down -17.7%)
3)Singapore: $21.8 million (up 3388.6%)
4)Poland: $19.2 million (up 9.6%)
5)Malawi: $17.2 million (down -35.7%)
6)Netherlands: $14.7 million (up 470.5%)
7)China: $12.9 million (down -36.5%)
8)Sri Lanka: $12.6 million (up 18.9%)
9)Germany: $11.4 million (up 73.2%)
10)Tanzania: $9.6 million (down -19.5%)
11)Switzerland: $9.2 million (up 76.7%)
12)Zimbabwe: $8.5 million (up 133.5%)
13)Rwanda: $7.5 million (up 225.4%)
14)Ireland: $5.9 million (down -34.3%)
15)Indonesia: $5.2 million (down -81.2%)
As for Indian tea exports, here is what the Indian tea industry website has to say:
The top export markets in volume terms for 2015-16 were Russian Federation (48.23 million kg), Iran (22.13 million kg) and Pakistan (19.37 million kg). In terms of value, the top export markets were Russian Federation (US$ 102.48 million), Iran (US$ 87.39 million) and UK (US$ 62.8 million).
So what happen if the UK did as the bBC demands? why others such as Kenya, Vietnam,Sri Lanka and China would take up the slack and India would lose its market to others. But hang on, isn’t India richer than the UK, what with a bigger military , a Space mission, why the Uk even gives them millions in Aid, yet to the CS at the bbC, its up to the British to help India sort out its problems.
“you laughed at me then but you are not laughing now”

This is all brilliant Taffman. From the article you linked we have BBC drone Iain Watson saying –
“Yet there are political dangers for the prime minister. Mrs May certainly will not be welcoming this opportunity for UKIP to bask in the reflected glory of a Trump victory.
People were asking what was the point of the party after the Brexit referendum – so the prime minister really will not want them resurrected as the “British Trumps”- the voice of forgotten voters.”
Well, I say we are all “British Trumps” now. And yes we still want Brexit, and as Nigel said earlier if it is denied then “people will take to the streets”. Is one allowed to carry a pitchfork and flaming torch legally these days?
Je suis British Trump !, Je suis British Trump, Je suis British Trump.
Al Beeb will hate it, the media will hate it, the ‘libtards’ will hate it.
Ha ha ha ha – I am laughing a drain. 🙂
#JeSuisBritishTrump

So in a BbcViews item about Farage/Trump meeting
The final quarter of it is given over to JeremyCorbyn and his view.
#TheyKilledTheBbc
Thank you taffman-the bedside photo for those of us of a certain age to put in the frame that`s got the kids photos in-until they get home for Christmas anyway!
Currently watching the telly and the beeB are showing Jeff Lynn (And ELO) play at Hyde park. why can’t they make music like this anymore:
Thanks Pounce – an absolute treat! But aren’t we supposed to prefer Billy Bragg?
Yes, thanks Pounce, that was great. Was that J-C Juncker on the piano? 🙂 Looked a bit like him. Couldn’t have been him though, everyone was having a good time, especially the drummer at the end!

Here we go. The BBC blaming Clinton’s defeat on James Comey, FBI director.
Oddly the facts don’t help the BBC, not that there are many in the piece on the web.
1. Clintons ratings were at same level going into the election as they were before Comey said he was looking at her emails again. So it didnt affect her standing.
2. What was Comey to do? Wait until she won the election and then say ‘oh by the way folks she is still under investigation for the emails. Didn’t think I should mention it before you voted. Sorry, I feel such a fool hiding stuff from you as the BBC wants.
3. In relation to the emails, if Clinton hadn’t lied, disobeyed a subpoena, destroyed evidence, had she not had her staff plead the Fifth amendments, (like Mobsters form the 1950s, tobacco company owners from the 1960s), had she not avoided questioning for as long as she could, until threatened with jail, then she wouldn’t have been in the mess and put the honourable director of the FBI in a dreadful dilemma.
4. Had she not chosen to disobey federal laws in the first place then none of this would have happened.
When will the BBC actually be honest with its viewers/listeners? They will throw mud until they have discredited the most remarkable democratic victory I have seen.
Bottomline if the FBI were biased towards Trump, then they would NOT have made the announcement 2 days before the election that there would be no prosecution.
No they would have kept the uncertainty going.
If they had done their job properly they would have prosecuted her the first time as they said she broke the law.
Well I ain’t buying Lego any more.

I suspect Gary Lineker is now a freemason. Footballer, MOTD presenter and crisp salesman turned Juncker cheerleader, refugee chugger, High Court Judge tip staff and professional anti-hate (i.e. white) baiter.
You forgot “Prize one, 24 carat twat”.
My ex was an Arsenal fan, and said that Lineker took some job playing for Arsene Wenger but didn`t play, just grabbed his groin and took the money.
No-I need no corrections, it just is…and if there`s any clarifucations and errors-well suck off because I`m the BBC I am.
“Downing Street said Mr Farage had “no role” in the government’s relationship with the incoming US administration.”
A UKIP source said the meeting had “made the prime minister look very foolish”.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37965089
Ha ha ha ha – what a turn out for the books you could never make it up.
#Nigel for Prime Minister
Oh dear the Tories plans to scupper Brexit are getting a bit tricky now aren’t they Theresa me old mate
I think Farage has stitched them up like Kipper , so to speak ….
Next Sunday night on BBC2 – Frankie Boyle’s US Election Autopsy
“The comedian shares his thoughts on the US presidential election and attempts to make sense of he current state of American society.”
http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/ff5ww6/frankie-boyles-us-election-autopsy
I must be clairvoyant because I already know it’s going to be absolute crap.
Actually TMW online 9pm on Monday 14 Nov according to the press release
“The show will premiere on BBC iPlayer”
It seems it was recorded live on election night, so depending on how they edit it, he could look a right deep fried tit.
The England rugby team had an excellent win against South Africa. Looking at the BBC’s Sport Home Page online, you would find that result difficult to find, unlike that of Wales, Scotland, Ireland. Agenda?

Unbelievable!
Whilst brewing coffee and making coffee on Sunday I generally listen to the Sunday service. Afterwards I invariably switch off POV because we get a turgid diatribe from a fuckwit like Will Self. Today, Armistice Sunday, it was delivered by the rightist philosopher and hated target of the Leftoids, Roger Scruton, and he articulated precisely why Brexit and Trumpet happened.
Do listen!
Making breakfast! Doh!!
Scruton is probably too decent and honorable to want to take up my offer to have his babies.
And- crap though my biology was at school, I do think that there`d be 50/50 chance of them having MY brains and not his…so will contend myself with listening to him on the radio and not on my adjacent pillows.
Well, Alicia, if the good philosopher is unavailable….
However, thinking about it, I guess there’s always a chance the offspring could be saddled with both my looks and my brains.
Poor little mites…
Sorry Alicia.
He seemed a bit limp and pink on the EU/Russia bit at the end of an other wise decent pice.
Can only assume he speaks from personal experience that came from his Stakhanovite efforts to keep philosophy alive behind the Iron Curtain.
If anybody deserves the benefit of the doubt, it`ll be Lord Roger Scruton…and AGAIN why do Will Straw and John Prescott have Lords or Sir titles-but Scruton and Farage do not? Need I ask?
Darren McCaffrey just caught bald face lying on sky news
Ha said clinton ‘won the popular vote by 2 million’
No she did not…..she lost it by around 669,000 after all the votes were counted
Scumbags
http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fendingthefed.com%2Fno-liberals-hillary-clinton-did-not-win-the-popular-vote-here-are-the-facts.html&h=eAQFpJ8sY&s=1
Seems to break the too wow to be true rule
to summarize : The idea is there is no proper popular vote tally cos some absentee votes are left uncounted.
but Snopes 2008* shows in California 2004 there was a rule change that ALL votes must be counted…I suspect other states have a similar rule. If they didn’t ..more news sources would be crowing about Trumps lost vote.
(*believable although these days Snopes Facebook page is a cesspit)
I note that final final results might not be in Hillary has 60.95 million
BUT anyway you can’t really extrapolate a true popular vote from these elections, cos once people know their state is not a swing state most people don’t bother to vote.
Only mad newspapers like The Independent run headlines like “Clinton’s Popular-Vote Lead Will Grow, and Grow, and Grow”
How come then that Hillary wins the popular vote so should be Americas president?
But Brexit wins the popular vote in about the only damned forum that prevents the political rune readings from avoiding the black and white unvarnished consequences of it.
Yet the latter is deemed to need rewrites, reruns, judges mauling all over it for that subtlety and nuances that we the thickies seems to miss?
Answer came there none form the Left-it just is, s`not fair!
Oh to have no sense of hypocrisy, history or double standards-being a Lefty is just right…always and forever.
until now.
Right so the US getting on with Russia is a bad thing. Asking for NATO countries to pay their fair share is a bad thing. UK being at the front of the queue for a US trade deal is a bad thing. BBC go give your head a wobble in that echo chamber – don’t know about anyone else but I just tune in for the entertainment factor these days I get my real news from alternative online news providers
Why is Jeremy Corbyn on Marr ( he is not in power) nobody cares what he thinks – he represents a very small minority of people in this Country – he was talking some twaddle about sustainability and environmentalism in India and how we could do trade deals with them – nope me neither. Immigration is a good thing blah blah.
I had to laugh when he said his mexican wife is looking forward to talking to Donald Trump. ….
Is she an air hostess or something,because she sure isnt going to be talking to him as pm’s wife
lol – maybe she’s a brickie
He does seem to go in for exotic birds – wasn’t he giving Abbotopotomus one at one time?
Nah….he got her round to sit naked legs wide open so he could see what his black sofa would look like with pink cushions.
Pass the mind bleach !!
This video regarding the US election result really made me laugh… still does…

It is a corker 🙂
Andrew Marr Show this morning. Not quite sure why I put myself through it, but somehow still amazed how the BBC just can’t find anything positive to say about Trump or Brexit. It’s like these these things happened for no reason at all (except racism, of course, because reasons).
The BBC is a joke.
BBC Radio 4 News on Kurds destroying ‘Sunni Arab’ villages. Surely the BBC means the villages where Sunni Muslims live, why is this term used? It seems the Thought Speak continues unabated and unchallenged.
Meanwhile Andrew Marr gives Corbyn another easy ride.
https://m.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giphy.com%2Fmedia%2Fl2JhFYTqPbvI0VwHu%2F200.gif&h=PAQE5z8jP&enc=AZPewUOdQrCWOwU2n-LtO_mBeXKBFcWehpL9bAxRYv-LYuru_4VhYMQ-mMdD8IPxV849hFB-p1VcWgRKXEYkOMBX3VPOBfWy1aOSRahG66Pwo4tyQMxGRAyLcZ378bAVNsJ4bzI3hUjoiThNxgKHMNOl&s=1
beware of the above link. I’ve no idea if it is bona fide but when I tried to access it, my antivirus threw up more warnings than the BBC gave on a Trump presidency.
Thats better
The beeb is still capable of a gem as is the planet earth 2 programme,the iguana and snake’s battle for survival was amazing.The plight of the land crab’s survival due to an introduced species of ant that stowed away on boats is disturbing, there population is down by 80%. I suggest a solution,how about a temporary introduction of anteaters?
But I thought the introduction of alien species was “enriching” – you know, diversity and all that ….
I read yesterday that evil guardian bitch who tweeted about assassinating Trump has been sacked
Anyone confirm this?
Not very likely No.6, they rely on her copy sale. Of course, if she works for the BBC there’s no need to pay, but that would also make her sacking even less likely.
Marr getting his arse handed to him by Le Pen. I don’t think he even believes his own crap anymore. Where did this Russian bogeyman distraction come from?
Clinton and the neo cons
Andrew Marr and the bbc seem to be getting very vexed about DT doubting the future of NATO
havent the remoaners been telling us for months that the EU has in fact been our great protector?
Why the overnight flip flop?
Great line from Lord Dannant – which might lead to awkward questions on fitness to run an army, but no matter. Trump’s quite reasonable antipathy to European backsliding on NATO payments is greeted by our lately senior army man with: ‘It’s a huge opportunity for us to take the lead. We could step up to the plate and make a significant contribution….’
Excuse me My Lord, but how does that help the US squeeze defence debts from the rest of Europe? Perhaps, in his naïve soldierly way he thinks that if the US and the UK continue to pay the lion’s share this might shame the others into stumping up. Seems like a line from the Farron-Corbyn school of Hopeful Political Studies.
Nurse Ratched!
Outbreak of logic, reason and rationality here in cubicle Number Six! And-some efforts to recall recent events!
Medication Time everybody…and here`s the Mantovani pan pipes to remove all that attempting to make sens of anything…
