    In a world of 7 billion people PM makes space for the township of Clay (pop. 500) because two women made a joke about The Messiah’s wife.

    Good grief.

    Calls to assassinate Trump and rape his wife. What was it Hillary said?
    Ah yes, “When they go low – we go high”.

    And you will be pleased to know that Obama says most Americans share his World view.

      Jon Snow just said that Obamarama will soon be trotting round Europes capitals on a farewell legacy tour.
      Or is that now a walk of shame?
      Given that Europes liberal elite will want to know how Trump managed to win.
      And “what legacy” anyway? Because Trump will shred it on Jan 21st 2017!
      Jon Snow and Kylie Morris seem crestfallen, that linen suit of his appears to be rumpled and slept in!
      And was it only seven months ago what Mr Cool breezed in to warn us NOT to vote Brexit, because he`d only push our faces in his dust or such?
      Oh joy of joys-a liberal empty pod, sowing his seed but realising no harvest whasoever. Was shelling peas earlier-though of G`s quip re “empty pods” and laughed!
      Who needs BBC comedy? All we`re seeing and hearing now is Trumptastic!

    You might remember the radio station, “Voice of America” – we need a Voice of Britain.

    Tonights ‘PM’ report from known Leftie and anti Semite Barbara Plett Usher was from Ohio, where the poor snowflake sounded tremulous and was asking people in an anxious voice why they voted for Donald Trump.

    It was almost as if she could neither believe nor accept that the Democrats have done exactly what they have done in the UK, abandoned their core voters for “better friends” who turned out to be not so nice after all.

    An appalling biased piece, but then it’s not the first time Ushers left wing politics have brought accusations of BBC bias.

    Just listened to a small report on the “World “Service” about concern over the preponderance of “fake news” sites on google etc.

    The ever concerned Alan Kasuja talking to the interviewee about are we living in a “post fact” era and whether Google should act as better “gatekeepers” to prevent this sort of thing.

    Alan the concerned – seemed to agree that this was a big problem.

    After years of lies about immigration, brexit, etc and of course the recent “non story” about the report on brexit disorganization within the government. It appears that the delusional really are running the asylum. Like the insane everywhere they have a complete lack of irony and shamelessness when delivering these so called ” news” reports.

    What amazes me is the complete contempt they obviously hold their listeners/viewers in. One thing is for sure. Not fit for purpose is an understatement.

    Maybe they are the start of a new parallel universe with their own gravity and upside down logic and rules – one thing is for sure they certainly staffed by aliens who seem to have no connection to the real world.

      Referring to my above post – Toady have now picked up on the post-fact term.

      Apparently it is the “word of the year” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Toady said. Post-truth – refers to a political culture where debate is framed in appeals to emotion rather than facts. We were then breezily informed by the presenter of some other new words which came to prominence the very next word being brexit.

      I am sure it was a total coincidence that brexit immediately folLowed post-truth. How clever! Such perfect juxtaposition! I am sure it wasnt at the suggestion of some spotty, curly haired, fop intern sub sub sub assistant editor who is doing a journalism degree from the LSE. Looks like me might be invited back for a “real” BBC job after next years finals.

      Bit early for swearing – I know, but BBC please JUST F##k OFF!
