The worst we’ve ever seen
There was a time – not so long ago – when following some sudden disruptive event our TV reporters would turn up to the scene of the outside broadcast, shove a microphone under the nose of a member of the public, and reliably elicit that cheery and stoically reassuring British default ejaculation: “It was just like the Blitz!”
These days our telly vox pop gatherers have swapped car coats and moustaches for branded anoraks and BBC College of Journo agendas. Now they must venture out into the fresh air in search of a new universal catch phrase.
Times have changed. During the intermission, Jimmy Savile was discovered with his trackie pants down – allegedly – the BBC blushed but turned a blind eye and moved on. Conversely when Michael Fish was caught with his corduroys round his ankles – figuratively – the BBC blanched and swore never again.
And so we enter the nervous new world of amber weather alerts, of weather warnings, anxious bulletins and named storms. Enter Angus – first of the season, no less.
This weekend our intrepid BBC reporter is broadcast braving the South Devon coast where there were some big waves and a suspiciously tight angle camera shot of the damage to the sea wall with three blokes with a JCB doing the huge clean-up effort. For some unknown reason, there’s no time for actual interviews with the civilians but our BBC girl on the spot does relate the inevitable conversation she has had with a seafront restaurateur. “He’s been here 27 years and this is the worst he’s seen”. Bingo!
How is it that ‘the worst I’ve ever seen’ has become the modern money shot, the crescendo finale to every report, the relentlessly sought-after edit of golden BBC pay dirt?
It must be because it relays the desperate deteriorating sense of things getter ever more gloomy. It speaks of helplessness. Long gone is the spirit of defiance embodied in the old reference to the Blitz – we sustained the worst the Luftwaffe could throw at us and not only endured but overcame. Whereas ‘worst ever seen’ meekly begs some authority for salvation. It also has the advantage of being subjective, taken on trust, highly localised and unmeasurable. What better slogan with which to push the Global Warming agenda?
‘Worst ever seen’ – well, let’s see what ‘storm’ Angus – and any other ‘storm’ this winter for that matter – does to the east coast and see if it’s worse or even as bad as 1953:
60 years ago today floods deluged Britain’s east coast, killing hundreds of people in one of our worst ever natural disasters.
In the night the sea swept up to two miles inland, with huge tides surging down the coast between the Tees and the Thames.
By the morning, the death toll on land was estimated at 307 in English coastal towns and villages.
About 24,000 homes were damaged and more than 30,000 people moved to safety.
More than 177 were lost at sea in fishing boats, and more than 130 on the Irish Channel ferry Princess Victoria.
In Holland and Belgium the horror was even worse, with more than 3,000 people killed.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was at the start of a 30-year period of post-war atmospheric cooling (since largely consigned to The Memory Hole via temperature ‘adjustments’).
I fail to understand why any storm is personalised by giving it a human name.
It seems all part of a plan to keep ‘climate change’ in the limelight by association, in that when the next bit of bad weather comes along, called ‘Buggerov’ or something, ‘Angus’ will be studiously compared with ‘Buggerov’ and continually referred to in the news, as if it matters a jot!
The BBC doesn’t need to continue spouting fallacies on ‘climate’, it just has to say ‘Angus’ and everyone is supposed to think it’s important!
You know. Giving a storm a name puts us on a par with those people affected by disastrous hurricanes and typhoons in far flung places and makes all the illiterati think that climate change is affecting us more and more. That gives the BBC and their ilk a bigger stick to beat us with. Well I’ve sailed in a Force 11 across the North Sea in order to get home for Christmas, so giving a name to a standard winter storm is just another shit ploy I’m going to ignore.
Trouble is for the media, that people with memories remember Katrina and the media horrors and horrors in the media that that hurricane provoked as it happened.
Guess what?
People with memories also remember hearing that the environ-mentalists’ and media’s wild & wacky claims about the eco-system being ‘destroyed forEVVA!’ were proved completely untrue within months.
Yesterday on Countryfile, which ever weather forecaster it was said something like ‘Sunday night will be the coldest November night for some years’. Now maybe (was it Mr Deakin?) just forget when it was, but the Radio 4 forecaster this morning explained that last night was the coldest night in Scotland since 2006. Coldest night for 10 years is scarcely worth a comment and doesn’t really fit the BBC agenda. But considering how it is only within that 10 year period the Met Office was forecasting that today’s children wouldn’t know what snow was, the -12 degree Celsius temperature is evidence that they haven’t a clue.
Met Office, Deborah? The storm that has just passed over the south regions was not ‘trailed’. As I recall, it was a mere 12 hours before that we learnt of the imminent arrival of ‘Angus’. Memories of Michael Fish declaring that Mrs x who contacted the Met Office had it wrong: there would be no gales….
CF also featured a heartening piece on the Yorkshire cheese industry.
Specifically a female (tick) Asian (tick) presenter interviewed a female (tick) Asian (tick) hijab-wearing (tick) cheese producer, who had come to Yorkshire as a refugee (tick) from Syria and had recently won an award for her “Yorkshire halloumi”.
Good luck to both of them – I’m partial to a bit of grilled halloumi myself – but it seems so contrived; almost as if we’re having our noses rubbed in diversity.
Well, I live just north of London, and I’m still waiting for the freezing temperatures and gale force winds !!! Admittedly some parts have really suffered, but according to the ‘weather map’ my area should have battened down the hatches too. We had lengthy downpours of rain, but wind ? only the sort that comes out of my little dog I’m afraid !
My children, like most kids in most schools in the country, worked hard to raise a few quid for BBC’s Children in Need campaign. Surely the best cause you can get – so I thought I would try and get a print-out of the worthwhile causes that were receiving this money so I could let the school know. Imagine my ‘surprise’ when all I could find were vague comments about how grateful they were and what a great difference we were all making – no specifics at all. Then I discovered that BBC had a £90m investment fund set up from previous years CIN. I have since emailed the BBC for some specifics about where the CIN donations actually go – no reply. Anyone got any idea ?
Welcome ! I hope you will enjoy it here and post any time . There are some pretty smart people here and the comedy is a lot better than the BBC. Enjoy !
Welcome PoachedX! That’s one of the best comments sections I’ve ever seen. Example comment: “Obama has no idea of what ‘American values’ are. In any case he is a washed up has-been. Nobody is interested apart from his adoring fans in the media including the BBC.”. 4 times as many likes as dislikes. Not that the BBC will take a blind bit of notice of course.
If the comments section is a guide, it is encouraging that more and more people are are becoming aware of the big fat stinking bias of the Buggering up Britain Campaign.
Is that BBC piece Propaganda or news ?
* “Trump presidency: Obama says he may comment as citizen” news value =zero
* “The president-elect’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was previously the head of Breitbart, a website accused of promoting racism and anti-Semitism”
pushing ideas by unattributed quote …yep propaganda from the BBC who some say has is the organisation with the fastest falling credibility in the world.
“Italy’s most famous chef threatens to leave over referendum vote.
Massimo Bottura, of Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena, believes rejection of constitutional overhaul would be disaster.”
Reports AlGuardianoMarxismMaximus.
Another futile manoeuvre, get a “celebrity” to state how wonderful the PM is and that he (the celebrity) will leave the country if they do not vote for him (the PM).
Perhaps they could leave together.
Worked well in the UK and the USA, how many of these ****s actually left? Zero.
Come on Italy, get rid of the unelected communist Renzi, strange how frequently communist leaders are unelected.
OK not strange at all.
To be followed by killing the Euro, overseen by yet another leftie Italian traitor, Draghi.
Juncker next, die EU die.
Drown them all in the swamp.
Meanwhile the Austrian Presidential election takes place on the same day as the Italian Referendum.
Actually, no it does not, the election has already taken place, and the left won, by rigging the votes just like the Democrats tried to do in the USA and exactly like the Muslims/Labour did in the UK.
So 2016:12:04 is a re-run and the current opinion polls are close, no doubt these polls are just as massaged and distorted as those which produced President Trump and Brexit.
Come on Austria give the treasonous leftie/Eurozone/EU loving ****s another good kicking.
Did anybody listen to Vine at lunchtime, or rather his stand-in?
An item on May’s plans to help the ‘JAMs’ (Just About Managing).
A three-way cosy leftist fantasy-fest on how we should not have cut benefits but instead should be giving more and more to everyone who is not a banker or CEO so they could do more than just ‘get by’.
All the usual about the ‘have and the have nots’, open digs at the Tories and even our impartial Vine stand-in opining what a pity it was that his studio guest (Mirror editor?) with his alternative barmpot, country-wrecking budget could only be ‘chancellor’ just for that moment.
Every caller and texter moaned and moaned and moaned about their lot – one was complaining because he had three kids and had split up from his wife – without a single challenge.
Not mentioned, at all:
– Our ongoing budget deficit
– Our massive national debt
– Our unsustainable public sector pensions (unfunded to the tune of £1.3 trillion)
– All the other stuff the Left tell us we should be spending more money on e.g. the NHS
– What happens when a country lives massively beyond its means e.g. Greece
– That the top 1% of earners pay 30% of the tax
Not challenged, at all:
– What do you cut instead to pay for these additional benefits
– What do you cut instead just to reduce the existing budget deficit
– Why do we have such a massive benefits bill and who is it going to (Romanian Big Issue sellers could have got a mention)
– How could we prioritise benefits payments
– How did Family Tax Credit go from £0 to £30 billion p.a. in less than 20 years
– How come the growth in coffee shops, restaurants and takeaways shows no sign of slowing (there aren’t enough ‘well off’ to fill them all, clearly)
– What do those ‘just managing’ see as essentials? Have they lost the ability to budget? Did they ever have it in the first place?
Pure, unadulterated Corbynism from our increasingly belligerent BBC.
Apologies if this has been mentioned previously but…
Obviously I need help…or to be re-educated!
Can someone please tell me why I had a sudden funny turn and buzzing in my head when I read on a Bizarre Buffoon Comic website that the City of Brussels are proposing to name streets or squares or buildings after the sainted Jo? Twenty-six other names are on their list. They want to “feminize” their city. (Excuse me??)
The City of Brussels said they were “overwhelmed by her death.”
Apart from endanger her kids, just what did she do?
Get knifed by a psycho? Well, that’s a long queue and I reckon the beheaded aid workers are way up the line.
St Jo supported the White Helmets, who in turn supported the US and EU governments attempt to knock out Assad whilst posing as rescuers of victims from Russian bombs.
if the city of Belgium had to name new streets after the people murdered by Islamists in the last 2 years then they would need an awful lot of new streets. 49 dead and around 340 injured, some appallingly.
Guess they weren’t quite so overwhelmed by their deaths as someone who wanted us to pay the Belgians for the joy of the money making EU being centered in their country.
Wasn’t it the insane city of Brussels which, back in the 1980s, tried to show solidarity with the IRA by renaming the street in which the British Embassy was situated as “Rue Bobby Sands”?
Soapbox, I get that every so often. Last time I thought I needed help or re-education, was when I was pondering over the need for two-million homes urgently required. I concluded that if we shipped all the immigrants and so-called, ‘Refugees’ back to where they come from, would we still need the extra homes?………..
Then I went on to consider whether any new planning application for a housing development would need to include the construction of a Mosque. Time to lie down I think.
Post-Traumatic Grief Reaction.
Brussels no needs to have a lie down, clutch a puppy and reflect on how the death of Jo Cox has brought us all to a standstill.
Quite possibly the greatest world leader that we never had.
And she healed a varicose vein as her shadow played upon one of my legs when out shopping in 2014.
Soapbox-you WILL feel poorly now…take a Eurostar to Brussels and show some solidarity man. Both Bruges and Ghent have excellent Christmas markets.
The NHS will pay for it if you`ve got an E111.
S
What do we have in the AlBeeb report?
#1 Alan Courtois the chief Alderman, with a long record of leading positions in Football Administration, the most highly regarded of all in honesty, probity, rectitude and resistance to subornment.
#2 Joanna Maycock, serial feminazi, with a long record of leading positions in International charitable efforts, ie another snout trougher. I could not find any record of a man in her life.
Two more non-productive dicks who want to re-write history.
Gaxvil, I sincerely hope that no loose masonry falls on him if he visits Buckingham Palace………….That would be a, ‘downward and horizontal’ would it not?
New words and phrases from the BBC. We will be hearing much of them for a while, until the next ‘in’ phrases come along.
“Brexit Cliffedge” – not Brexit Joy, as most of us see it.
“JAMS- Just About Managing” – people already financially supported by the working population from the private sector, but would like more.
Just waiting for the BBC to get completely behind Angela Merkle’s election bus. Just the way it mindlessly supported Gordon Brown, Ed Milliband and the Remain campaign. Expect plenty of talk of a Firewall of states to propel Merkle into power, how the black and latino vote will guarantee her victory and finally, the women vote means it is impossible for her to lose.
ss – add to that ‘JAM tomorrow’, coined by the bile-spewing, Tory-hating, money tree-planting Editor of the Daily Mirror on Vine at lunchtime, as in his observation ‘There was no jam yesterday, there’s no jam today and there’ll be no jam tomorrow’ much to the tickled tummy delight of the show’s host, who is obviously a BBC twat amongst twats.
I just googled ‘bbc monkey libya hijab’ but all in vain, I’m afraid. However this interesting titbit of Islamic feelgood news emerged top of the search results:

America’s Hate Preachers BBC1 tonight
Christian, of course. No indication that it is part of a series that will identify HATE being preached by other faiths, in the USA or elsewhere.
My guess is that the material doesn’t suit the BBC narrative otherwise they would have put this ex BBC3 prog on the main channel earlier.
It seems like a student film cos their are only 2 people credited the girl and her prodeucer.
“Director Hannah Livingston spends six months tracking two of America’s most radical Christian hate groups – a notorious pastor from Arizona, who has been banned from the UK and a network of preachers, who take their extremist message directly onto the streets.
The film shows how American free speech laws allow these groups to spread homophobia and Islamophobia in an increasingly polarised and divided political climate.
Drawing on what he claims is a literal interpretation of the bible, the pastor is opening new churches in America and claims to be influencing others by broadcasting his sermons over the internet.”
Clicked on this and it took me somewhere I’ve never been before. “What is this” I asked myself. I assumed I was looking at a site devoted to yoof and pop/rock. Actually it isn’t, it’s a “Music” site. No qualification, just “music”. No other genres exist, apparently.
We’re paying for this – something so commercial it should need no taxpayer support whatsoever.
REM, Springsteen,Bon Jovi and now the execrable shouters Green Day. As they caterwaul for their “contribution” those less able to tart themselves around the transgender loos or poodle hairdressing salons make the “sacrifice”.
Lefty liberal blowhards reprise Spinal Tap and don`t like Trump.
That`s news?
Well Billy Bragg -why say YOU to kicking tramps around Cambridgeshire , so the Tories get to blood their Hunters wellies?
I reckon Germany can have Belgium, France and the bankrupt ones, Spain, Portugal. Italy and even Greece plus the semi third World Eastern ones.
I mean the did fight two World wars to get their hands on them.
Import a few million tons of sand and get on with it.
Anybody noticed the latest unemployment figures? Or have I missed it recently? It’s down to 4.9%. Jobless continues to fall, despite BREXIT and the world ending……. OK, BREXIT hasn’t occurred yet but….. Anyway, here’s the link: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37701672
Blanket coverage of Ed Balls baking / dancing / sermonizing on central bank independence is becoming tiresome.
Balls is like a white, male Nadia, being showcased for greater things. In Balls’ case I guess Al Beeb’s agenda is to humanise him, keep him in the public eye, contrive a “hinterland” for him then facilitate a triumphant return to the political mainstream.
Balls was a key player in the trashing of the UK economy under Brown, absolutely unrepentant and remains a menace.
Let’s hope that those responsible for cultivating EB’s hinterland continue to forget the all-male drinking society he founded at Keble College, Oxford, in the late ’80s, and the photo of him dressed as a Wehrmacht officer at a college dinner.
Which would be a doziness not afforded the likes of Prince Harry, of course, dog-eared photos of whom in the uniform of the Afrika Korps are such a pleasingly regular feature of HRH’s own hinterland.
Some public figures are more Nazi than others, it seems.
You have to look for the story on the BBC site, but there it is, albeit buried away in a fairly anonymous sidebar…
Driver drags woman by neck in German town of Hamelin
A woman has suffered serious injuries after being dragged through the streets of a German town by a cord tied around her neck and attached to a car. Police in Hamelin, in Lower Saxony, say the woman’s ex-partner later handed himself in to authorities. The 28-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was found lying on a pavement late on Sunday with serious injuries. She underwent an emergency operation and was flown to a specialist clinic.
Police say she had been dragged by the neck through several streets.
The man now in custody is described as 38 and from nearby Bad Muender.
Both the victim and the suspect are German citizens of Kurdish origin, a police spokesman said. A spokesman for Hannover prosecutors, Thomas Klinge, said the motive for the attack was not yet clear.
Hmmm. I’m mystified by this. Looks like the BBC are, too – although a quick Google search helpfully shines a little light on previous examples of such ‘punishments’ from our cultural enrichers…
The RoP: bringing medievalism to a civilised town near you. Soon.
Germany’s Economy Minister and Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel (L) speaks to the council of elders of residents in a refugee camp in Hameln (Hamelin), Lower-Saxony, Germany….
Blimey, older immigrants get to form their own council in Germany yet all us oldies get here are threats to have the vote taken off us because we voted for Brexit.
R4 Woman’s Hour : this morning was SPECULATING and moaning about a sure lack of women in the Trump cabinet
#1 Right at the end they suddenly say “Oh yeh his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway is a woman,…the first female campaign manager ever”
– Oh why is that a surprise to them ?..of of course BBC/MSM have been so busy playing up that Trump is a misogynist they have suppressed mentioning her upto now.
#2 Also close top the end they admitted that since only 20% of Congress/Senate are women there is a small pool of women to choose from.
Anyway speculation is not news
Their listeners would have been better served if the prog had just waited until the cabinet had been decided and THEN reported the facts.
Kellyanne has played a blinder over there.
Which is why the BBC won`t like her.
Not moaning or seeking compo…just doing a professional job in a cause we can share in. You go girl-thank GOD US women can be as clear minded and tough as her-and without needing to hand her femininity to the likes of the Eagel Brothers to pulp for Jennis rubber ring.
There is a new BBC radio prog Crowd Science
The first episode was the usual Greenie rubbish
So I didn’t expect anything from this episode about Home Power Storage
But the killer line was at the end : The “listener’s question” the whole prog was based on..
“The listener” was the father of the scientist who was answering the question !
..Like admitting that makes everything OK.
Previously I got shouted at for pointing out that Naked Scientists once put a BBC plant in the audience to ask a climate question.
But it seems they are so blase these days that they can even own up to their stunt this time.
In the prog They were all acting as if we were all about to soon have home battery stations.
I still maintain that if you were off grid with solar, you’d still be better off with a petrol generator for the no sun times rather than relying on a super expensive 2 day battery system.
…you’d still be better off with a petrol generator for the no sun times rather than relying on a super expensive 2 day battery system.
Stew – it’s actually happening and has been for some time (except diesel not petrol):
Tom Greatrex, the shadow energy minister, said earlier rounds of the capacity market had already rewarded mini fossil fuel power stations: “It was clear from the outset that the capacity market risked locking in a new generation of dirty diesel generators that were too small to be affected by carbon policies. Sure enough, 40MW of small diesel generators have now secured 15-year subsidies.”
All last week we had the propaganda about the murder of Saint Jo Cox and it continues this week.
Imagine the BBCs horror & annoyance when some oiks from the prison service decided to work to rule and the trial had to be postponed. Normal such support for trade unions, and industrial action, yet when it affects them or their aims, what a difference there is.
And then there’s the biased reporting of the trial. If this had been a Muslim I have not a shred of a doubt that mental illness would be playing morning noon and night – after all the accused Thomas Mayer has a long history of psychiatric issues. Instead of ISIS or Militant Islam though, he also has a vague background of far right interest, although none of it appears to be in the UK, nor was he a member of a political party.
Seems to me that some serious double standards are being applied here. Muslims ISIS supporter – mentally ill
White murderer who actually does have mental health issues and he has no such excuse and I really do wonder if this so called material ever really does exist.
Thoughtful,
I am trying to suppress my conspiracy feelings here, but I have never seen a trial where all the pieces for the prosecution as covered by the BBC fit together so neatly. I did read that health issues were not going to be presented by the defence, and I am interested to see what line the defence can take, given that the defendant is pleading not guilty. Last week we had the witnesses together with snippets about the heroism of the victim, today the motive – Nazi literature.
The appeaser’s government is clamping down on extremism. BBC launch an attack on the alt right which is followed by the DfE Counter extremist thought police banning Milo from speaking at his former school in Canterbury.
Says Milo:
“My old high school has been bullied into cancelling my talk on Tuesday by the “counter-extremism” unit at the U.K. Department of Education. Who even knew the DoE had a counter-extremism unit? And that it wasn’t set up to combat terrorism but rather to punish gays with the wrong opinions?… Disgusted.”
I’ve just been watching Flog It on BBC1 which came from Grimsby. The item in the middle of the programme was about the trawlers which numbered over 600 in the 50’s but which are now down to about (I think) 20. Apparently the decline set in due to the so-called Cod Wars with Iceland in the early 70’s. No mention of the EU Fisheries policies of course.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that Brexit could cause a sharp drop in house prices. This was on the expectation that the cost of mortgages would rise.
The Treasury has said house prices could be hit by between 10% and 18% over the next two years, compared to where they otherwise would have been. This would be good news for first-time buyers, but not so great for existing homeowners.
Matthew Wright on The Wright Show yesterday morning – while discussing a falling birthrate / immigration implied that Angela Merkel has played a blinder importing refugees to make up the shortfall.
A couple of thoughts sprang to mind.
1. If it was such a great plan why are some of them lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea?
2. Germany’s last venture with mass movement of people across Europe got them into a lot of bother.
Bloody hell, and I thought Question Time was the worst example of a leftist kangaroo court.
Watch this 5 on 1, and the gutsy Ann Coulter trying to get her point across in the face of shrieking interruptions from the rest of the panel (including the programme’s host) and the wild applause from the audience who just seem to clap anything regardless of merit or factual content:
The ultimate in vox pop
On bBBC 1 6pm news
people in the street being interviewed as to heir thoughts on……… strictly come dancing going to Blackpool once a year.
Yes, the unceasing investigative quest continues……
Caught a bit of the peter cook prog last week.
readers will surely have enjoyed the derek and clive skit on the DG of the bbc.
‘Dear C***’
And just address to ‘C***, London’
Update. BBC news in 60 seconds just revealed the suspect had a big collection of nazi books and memorabilia. I’m waiting to have it confirmed if he bought all these products before or after the referendum date was set. After all he was radicalised by the campaign wasn’t he?
On PM tonight the book “March of the Titans” described as “a history of the white race” was mentioned as being part of a nazi book collection.
A quick search on the web informs me that this book was written by an Arthur Kemp, who was a Rhodesian journalist and was published in 1999. That’s a long time after the nazi period.
The other thing that struck me was that whilst “Black History” is heavily promoted by the BBC, “White History” is linked with nazism…….this is a startling notion……to say the least.
I’m sure it would come as quite a surprise to those white men who fought and defeated nazi Germany……it certainly surprised one of their sons!
As usual over the weekend and today we have been subjected to a non stop BBC barrage of liberal left , anti Brexit, (with honourable exception of Brillo) anti i Trump bias. On the DP today we had snide comments about DT coat of arms ( pretentious indeed but hardly news worthy) and on PM on a topic about Buckingham Palace , Eddie Mair managed to make another snide remark about DT which was totally unrelated to the item.
The BBC seem to regard both Putin and DT as serious threats to the Europe. But the truth is that the liberal left elite ,who have been in charge of the West for the past30 years, are the biggest threat to the peace and prosperity of our continent. It is this elite who have foolishly committed all of us ,without our consent , to a hugely risky multiculturalism experiment , which is failing before our eyes and opening the whole continent to religious wars. It is they who have coupled free trade with mass migration and called it globalisation . Free trade does not require total freedom of movement , a consequence of which is that millions of aliens are invading our continent and the elite stand by and watch, indeed tell the invaders that they are welcome and urge them to come.
When the people of Europe object the elite persecute them, ridicule them , tell them this is all inevitable and it is racist etc to oppose it. Then these fools at the BBC wonder why we are voting for Brexit, the Americans voted for DT, the Austrians will likely have a rightist President, Orban is riding high in Hungary, Le Pen and Wilders and the AfD are doing well in the polls. Did they really think that we would stand for our way of life being destroyed because they said it was inevitable? They are lucky that we are using the ballot box as our first resort. There are other ways to bring about regime change.
PM was disgraceful. The segment on the Isis recruit has no place on our media.The BBC seems to have forgotten what Isis has done in Paris , Nice and in the ME. Instead it goes all maudlin. Not acceptable.
Mr Trump really needs to be made aware of the unrelenting and nasty side to the BBC’s reporting. It is also very stupid of the BBC to deliberately lampoon and insult him at every opportunity. It is going to be difficult for our governing class to work with him after the continual insults they and our media have heaped on him.
When President if I were him I would send our ambassador packing with a sharp message that he best stay away for a few months until the British elite learns some manners.
The US under Trump does not need us or Europe.
China, Russia and India matter plus Israel, Iran, Korea and Japan. Our elite needs to get with reality.
It is very likely that the BBC is consciously trying to make it hard for our Government to work with Trump. Or even to invite him to UK.
The US is our greatest ally. A democratic, free enterprise, dynamic nation. For these reasons the BBC has always haboured a strong Anti-American streak – it was put aside only for the Obama years. The UK Government needs to get a grip on this quickly.
Dave,
May be the plan – alienate us from the USA to force us back to Europe.
Then again, it could just be that the elites are so up themselves no stark truth can penetrate.
gaxvil
Perhaps this will explain why the government is standing by whilst the BBC breaks with its charter and goes out of its way to alienate the new US administration.
All agreed except that the elite do not stand by and watch mass immigration. They actively support it for they benefit greatly from cheap labour without bearing the social costs.
I believe the bookies are in for a hiding if Ed Balls wins Strictly.
Anyone who put anything on him to win all the way down to the present approx 10 to 1 is in line for a good payout.
There must be few opportunities to actually vote for your bet on long odds, so one suspects anyone with a bet on him will keep ticking the box, and possibly more are piling in at 10 to 1 just in time for Christmas.
I wonder if they will change the scoring system next year? On Saturday instead of getting 1 “judges point” EB got 2 because of a tie above him. If two people tie on say 4 points, the next person should only get 2, but at present gets 3. Because of this anomaly the person finishing bottom finishes much closer in judges points to the middle rankers than they should.
If you have a tie for gold at the Olympics they do not award a silver to the third placed person.
Anyway bBBCers keep voting for Ed, it is starting to get uncomfortable for the BBC and any criticism of them is good.
I think its high time the Beeb announce the number of votes cast for each contestant. Its all starting to smack of a ‘fix’. Initially I thought we would have another ‘Nadya Hussein’ moment, as only Mark Ramprakash has been the only e/m to have won; but now it would be in the realms of farce if Balls did win ahead of those that can dance. Balls himself is only too aware that he’s rubbish compared to those who have already been knocked out, so its only his own ego that’s making him stand his ground and not retire gracefully.
You are quite right of course Brissles but on the other hand keeping Balls going for as long as possible gives us the opportunity to watch the bBBC stew iin its own juices. Maximum embarrassment = maximum reputational damage = good news for this website!
Brissles, perhaps the BBC should engage their ‘trusted’ pollsters? You know the ones, those who had Brexit several points behind just before their rude awakening by the public.
Switched on BBC WS radio – discussing Rowling’s new film, seemed safe, but NOT A CAT IN HELLS CHANCE!
Set in between the Wars – the movie features the rise of fascism, an evil, duplicitous politician and of course wizardry, mythical creatures etc..
“Ahah! Are these parallels of the conflict in post election America with Donald Trump the divisive politician?” Asks the presenter. The movie chap answers, sounding a tad irritated, “No it’s just that, division, is the on going story of people and the World.”
‘BBC – The Worlds Most Fuckin’ Tiresome Broadcaster’
Hard on the heels of his tour of the BBC studios, promoting his book and taking a kick at Trump and Mrs May’s criticism of central bankers, Balls lives to fight another improbable day on ‘Strictly’ and we get a chance to see him again as well as his wife (also increasingly a BBC favourite), next week.
No doubt when Balls packs away his tux (although he has an army of supporters, and lacks the dignity and self awareness to do a John Sergeant who left the dance floor to people who can really dance) he will be lined up for Celebrity Master Chef – going for the hat trick, having already graced the Celebrity Bake Off.
And as if to underline how in thrall to Balls the BBC are, he can count amongst his supporters one of their producer / editors, Rachel Mallender, who ‘in her own words’ reckons that she’s glad that Balls is in for another week. I bet she is.
If Pixie is in the audience, and I believe you are there for a long time, it means she is not out doing harm to the country, so come on look on the bright side.
Regular readers/contributors to this site will be familiar with rent-a-mouth-Muslim Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Over in the USA they have the equivalent in the shape of Saba Ahmed. Here are a few clips of the Ahmed in action and in the first clip she gets her arse handed back to her within the first five minutes:
In the next clip Brigitte Gabriel, a Christian, who as a teenager lived in Lebanon during the Civil War, hands it back too:
and again:
Somewhat surprisingly Ahmed is the President and Founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition.
The BBC works so very hard to radicalize – is it on the list of extremist sites?
It shares the narrowness of thought and doctrinaire approach that many banned organizations demonstrate.

Remoaners say they want to leave until they realise they’d have to learn French or German to live in their refugee diverse heavens. That’s too much effort, so they’d rather stay here and post on Twitter instead.
I think any remoaners moving to some parts of France and Germany (and some other European countries) would find they’d need a working knowledge of Turkish and Arabic.
Though I suspect in reality, they’d take care to live among other English speaking white Europeans.
AS
“Progressive”
Someone who wants change.
But not just any changes, only the changes which they support, changes which usually result in the deaths of millions of innocent individuals.
“Progressives” do not care about these deaths, at best. Mostly the “progressives” are responsible for the deaths or actually do the killing.
Because “progressives” are correct, perpetually, and anyone who disagrees is a reactionary, a conservative who resists the changes of the “progressives” and therefore deserves to die.
Because only the beliefs of the “progressives” have any value. We know this to be the truth, because the “progressives” say so.
A conservative on the other hand is someone who wishes to, er, conserve.
Conserve the best of the present, as learnt from our ancestors. The distilled, filtered best of our culture, handed down to us, a sacred testament to our culturally identity.
Summary, “progressives” are evil incarnate, and need to be treated as such.
AlBeeb must die, so that our culture may continue.
One of the most disconcerting features of the old soviet system was the way it sought to indoctrinate children. Well guess what, the BBC website is doing just that this morning. It features an article where a “feminist author” (is there any other kind nowadays? what about the fact that boys are not reading, surely more of a pressing issue for the education system?). Apparently Cinderella is sexist and needs to be rewritten. But note that the children need guidance for their rewrite from an ideologically correct viewpoint. Why can’t they just let the children write and see what they come up with?
Why don’t they just leave it alone. It’s stood the test of time so far and will survive beyond this current fascistly, misanderist form of feminism. When all’s said and done most girls want to be girls and most boys want to be boys. Feminist tinkering with children’s natural inclinations is akin to child abuse.
BBC balled out by the viewers
What a pleasure it was this morning to see the BBC breakfast bunnies, lanky beta-male Dan Walker and his female commissar Louise Minchin, both for a moment looking equally meek, having been roundly chastised by their viewers.
Some BBC bright spark producer looking to tick another equality box had come up with the spiffing idea of letting Jeanette Winterson (lesbian feminist campaigner) loose on young school children with the remit of re-writing the fairy tale Cinderella with a modern Politically Correct slant.
Oh dear. We don’t see much footage of Marxist indoctrination of children turning their young minds against the concept of the family. Prior to this toe curling BBC report the only example I can think of was a sequence in the movie The Killing Fields when a Khmer Rouge activist chalked on a blackboard a representation of a stick people family and a young Cambodian child was encouraged to come to the front of the makeshift village classroom and rub out the arms of the stick child and parent where they were previously joined as if to hold hands. The message was clear. Family group bad, individual good. That scene has stuck with me as being particularly poignant and a rare cinema critique of extreme leftist ideology. (There was also a heck of a lot of killing in the movie).
Happily, in Britain the BBC extremists can’t yet threaten us with Killing Fields when we object to their mad views. The Licence Payers emailed and texted in to the BBC commissars this morning that they didn’t like the idea of Fairy Tales for a modern age. Oh no they shouldn’t!
No Cinderella called Cindy with many bullying brothers and sisters – some of them ugly. No Cinderella starting her own business and earning lots of money to buy a trouser suit and trainers. No Cinderella and the Prince being just good friends and going off exploring on a gap year.
Cinders, for the moment at least, you may still go to the ball
Nothing has changed since the days of Saville, Harris et al (lots of et al) it is merely the form the abuse takes that has changed. As has been said before here, the BBC has an unhealthy obsession for interfering with our children. To be fair, the BBC does leave the children of certain minorities alone but that in itself is abuse.
Talking from experience here I would consider my communist education in Eastern Europe pretty mildly left wing compared to what I see today advocated by the BBC. They have no idea what they are doing. I am raisinging a little smile thinking about the 1st 5year plan discussed by Corbyn in parliament reported live by the BBC…we use to have a game to see if we find the guy stopping the clapping first and check if he is around next time.
The latest device of the miserable Left, along with ‘post-truth’, is ‘fake news’.
‘Fake news’, we discover, is the means by which evil, bigoted, and racist far-Right extremists managed to engineer Brexit and Donald Trump’s election, drowning out the rational, honest, impartial voices such as those of the BBC, New York Times and the Huffington Post.
Here, Andrew Klavan of the Daily Wire, has a bit of fun with ‘fake news’ (5 minutes).
Quite right, Rick. Language watching is interesting, it is fast becoming a spectator sport. The manipulators, I think, have been undone by other manipulators – even one of their own – this year:
“In only ten days, Trump has shown that the ‘President-elect Trump’ is different to ‘campaign and Election Trump’. I think the ‘Reality* TV’ star created one reality for the campaign. We may be now seeing a completely different Trump. The media made man has in turn led the whole American media and large sections of the worlds’ media completely by the nose through the whole Presidential Election process.
Clever. Very clever.
In contrast to Trump, Hillary Clinton was Clinton. ‘See Clinton, get Clinton’. That may have caused swing voters and some Democrats to choose Trump.”

The worst we’ve ever seen
There was a time – not so long ago – when following some sudden disruptive event our TV reporters would turn up to the scene of the outside broadcast, shove a microphone under the nose of a member of the public, and reliably elicit that cheery and stoically reassuring British default ejaculation: “It was just like the Blitz!”
These days our telly vox pop gatherers have swapped car coats and moustaches for branded anoraks and BBC College of Journo agendas. Now they must venture out into the fresh air in search of a new universal catch phrase.
Times have changed. During the intermission, Jimmy Savile was discovered with his trackie pants down – allegedly – the BBC blushed but turned a blind eye and moved on. Conversely when Michael Fish was caught with his corduroys round his ankles – figuratively – the BBC blanched and swore never again.
And so we enter the nervous new world of amber weather alerts, of weather warnings, anxious bulletins and named storms. Enter Angus – first of the season, no less.
This weekend our intrepid BBC reporter is broadcast braving the South Devon coast where there were some big waves and a suspiciously tight angle camera shot of the damage to the sea wall with three blokes with a JCB doing the huge clean-up effort. For some unknown reason, there’s no time for actual interviews with the civilians but our BBC girl on the spot does relate the inevitable conversation she has had with a seafront restaurateur. “He’s been here 27 years and this is the worst he’s seen”. Bingo!
How is it that ‘the worst I’ve ever seen’ has become the modern money shot, the crescendo finale to every report, the relentlessly sought-after edit of golden BBC pay dirt?
It must be because it relays the desperate deteriorating sense of things getter ever more gloomy. It speaks of helplessness. Long gone is the spirit of defiance embodied in the old reference to the Blitz – we sustained the worst the Luftwaffe could throw at us and not only endured but overcame. Whereas ‘worst ever seen’ meekly begs some authority for salvation. It also has the advantage of being subjective, taken on trust, highly localised and unmeasurable. What better slogan with which to push the Global Warming agenda?

‘Worst ever seen’ – well, let’s see what ‘storm’ Angus – and any other ‘storm’ this winter for that matter – does to the east coast and see if it’s worse or even as bad as 1953:
60 years ago today floods deluged Britain’s east coast, killing hundreds of people in one of our worst ever natural disasters.
In the night the sea swept up to two miles inland, with huge tides surging down the coast between the Tees and the Thames.
By the morning, the death toll on land was estimated at 307 in English coastal towns and villages.
About 24,000 homes were damaged and more than 30,000 people moved to safety.
More than 177 were lost at sea in fishing boats, and more than 130 on the Irish Channel ferry Princess Victoria.
In Holland and Belgium the horror was even worse, with more than 3,000 people killed.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/great-floods-of-1953-in-photos-looking-1558759
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was at the start of a 30-year period of post-war atmospheric cooling (since largely consigned to The Memory Hole via temperature ‘adjustments’).

I fail to understand why any storm is personalised by giving it a human name.
It seems all part of a plan to keep ‘climate change’ in the limelight by association, in that when the next bit of bad weather comes along, called ‘Buggerov’ or something, ‘Angus’ will be studiously compared with ‘Buggerov’ and continually referred to in the news, as if it matters a jot!
The BBC doesn’t need to continue spouting fallacies on ‘climate’, it just has to say ‘Angus’ and everyone is supposed to think it’s important!

You know. Giving a storm a name puts us on a par with those people affected by disastrous hurricanes and typhoons in far flung places and makes all the illiterati think that climate change is affecting us more and more. That gives the BBC and their ilk a bigger stick to beat us with. Well I’ve sailed in a Force 11 across the North Sea in order to get home for Christmas, so giving a name to a standard winter storm is just another shit ploy I’m going to ignore.

Yesterday on Countryfile, which ever weather forecaster it was said something like ‘Sunday night will be the coldest November night for some years’. Now maybe (was it Mr Deakin?) just forget when it was, but the Radio 4 forecaster this morning explained that last night was the coldest night in Scotland since 2006. Coldest night for 10 years is scarcely worth a comment and doesn’t really fit the BBC agenda. But considering how it is only within that 10 year period the Met Office was forecasting that today’s children wouldn’t know what snow was, the -12 degree Celsius temperature is evidence that they haven’t a clue.

My children, like most kids in most schools in the country, worked hard to raise a few quid for BBC’s Children in Need campaign. Surely the best cause you can get – so I thought I would try and get a print-out of the worthwhile causes that were receiving this money so I could let the school know. Imagine my ‘surprise’ when all I could find were vague comments about how grateful they were and what a great difference we were all making – no specifics at all. Then I discovered that BBC had a £90m investment fund set up from previous years CIN. I have since emailed the BBC for some specifics about where the CIN donations actually go – no reply. Anyone got any idea ?

OK not strange at all.

Drown them all in the swamp.
Meanwhile the Austrian Presidential election takes place on the same day as the Italian Referendum.
Actually, no it does not, the election has already taken place, and the left won, by rigging the votes just like the Democrats tried to do in the USA and exactly like the Muslims/Labour did in the UK.
So 2016:12:04 is a re-run and the current opinion polls are close, no doubt these polls are just as massaged and distorted as those which produced President Trump and Brexit.
Come on Austria give the treasonous leftie/Eurozone/EU loving ****s another good kicking.

Did anybody listen to Vine at lunchtime, or rather his stand-in?
An item on May’s plans to help the ‘JAMs’ (Just About Managing).
A three-way cosy leftist fantasy-fest on how we should not have cut benefits but instead should be giving more and more to everyone who is not a banker or CEO so they could do more than just ‘get by’.
All the usual about the ‘have and the have nots’, open digs at the Tories and even our impartial Vine stand-in opining what a pity it was that his studio guest (Mirror editor?) with his alternative barmpot, country-wrecking budget could only be ‘chancellor’ just for that moment.
Every caller and texter moaned and moaned and moaned about their lot – one was complaining because he had three kids and had split up from his wife – without a single challenge.
Not mentioned, at all:
– Our ongoing budget deficit
– Our massive national debt
– Our unsustainable public sector pensions (unfunded to the tune of £1.3 trillion)
– All the other stuff the Left tell us we should be spending more money on e.g. the NHS
– What happens when a country lives massively beyond its means e.g. Greece
– That the top 1% of earners pay 30% of the tax
Not challenged, at all:
– What do you cut instead to pay for these additional benefits
– What do you cut instead just to reduce the existing budget deficit
– Why do we have such a massive benefits bill and who is it going to (Romanian Big Issue sellers could have got a mention)
– How could we prioritise benefits payments
– How did Family Tax Credit go from £0 to £30 billion p.a. in less than 20 years
– How come the growth in coffee shops, restaurants and takeaways shows no sign of slowing (there aren’t enough ‘well off’ to fill them all, clearly)
– What do those ‘just managing’ see as essentials? Have they lost the ability to budget? Did they ever have it in the first place?
Pure, unadulterated Corbynism from our increasingly belligerent BBC.

“Director Hannah Livingston spends six months tracking two of America’s most radical Christian hate groups – a notorious pastor from Arizona, who has been banned from the UK and a network of preachers, who take their extremist message directly onto the streets.
The film shows how American free speech laws allow these groups to spread homophobia and Islamophobia in an increasingly polarised and divided political climate.
Drawing on what he claims is a literal interpretation of the bible, the pastor is opening new churches in America and claims to be influencing others by broadcasting his sermons over the internet.”

Blanket coverage of Ed Balls baking / dancing / sermonizing on central bank independence is becoming tiresome.
Balls is like a white, male Nadia, being showcased for greater things. In Balls’ case I guess Al Beeb’s agenda is to humanise him, keep him in the public eye, contrive a “hinterland” for him then facilitate a triumphant return to the political mainstream.
Balls was a key player in the trashing of the UK economy under Brown, absolutely unrepentant and remains a menace.

Let’s hope that those responsible for cultivating EB’s hinterland continue to forget the all-male drinking society he founded at Keble College, Oxford, in the late ’80s, and the photo of him dressed as a Wehrmacht officer at a college dinner.

Driver drags woman by neck in German town of Hamelin
A woman has suffered serious injuries after being dragged through the streets of a German town by a cord tied around her neck and attached to a car. Police in Hamelin, in Lower Saxony, say the woman’s ex-partner later handed himself in to authorities. The 28-year-old woman, who has not been identified, was found lying on a pavement late on Sunday with serious injuries. She underwent an emergency operation and was flown to a specialist clinic.
Police say she had been dragged by the neck through several streets.
The man now in custody is described as 38 and from nearby Bad Muender.
Both the victim and the suspect are German citizens of Kurdish origin, a police spokesman said. A spokesman for Hannover prosecutors, Thomas Klinge, said the motive for the attack was not yet clear.
Police have secured the area where the woman was found and have called for witnesses to come forward.

R4 Woman’s Hour : this morning was SPECULATING and moaning about a sure lack of women in the Trump cabinet
#1 Right at the end they suddenly say “Oh yeh his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway is a woman,…the first female campaign manager ever”
– Oh why is that a surprise to them ?..of of course BBC/MSM have been so busy playing up that Trump is a misogynist they have suppressed mentioning her upto now.
#2 Also close top the end they admitted that since only 20% of Congress/Senate are women there is a small pool of women to choose from.
Anyway speculation is not news
Their listeners would have been better served if the prog had just waited until the cabinet had been decided and THEN reported the facts.

There is a new BBC radio prog Crowd Science
The first episode was the usual Greenie rubbish
So I didn’t expect anything from this episode about Home Power Storage
But the killer line was at the end : The “listener’s question” the whole prog was based on..
“The listener” was the father of the scientist who was answering the question !
..Like admitting that makes everything OK.
Previously I got shouted at for pointing out that Naked Scientists once put a BBC plant in the audience to ask a climate question.
But it seems they are so blase these days that they can even own up to their stunt this time.
In the prog They were all acting as if we were all about to soon have home battery stations.
I still maintain that if you were off grid with solar, you’d still be better off with a petrol generator for the no sun times rather than relying on a super expensive 2 day battery system.

Stew – it’s actually happening and has been for some time (except diesel not petrol):
Tom Greatrex, the shadow energy minister, said earlier rounds of the capacity market had already rewarded mini fossil fuel power stations: “It was clear from the outset that the capacity market risked locking in a new generation of dirty diesel generators that were too small to be affected by carbon policies. Sure enough, 40MW of small diesel generators have now secured 15-year subsidies.”

All last week we had the propaganda about the murder of Saint Jo Cox and it continues this week.
Imagine the BBCs horror & annoyance when some oiks from the prison service decided to work to rule and the trial had to be postponed. Normal such support for trade unions, and industrial action, yet when it affects them or their aims, what a difference there is.
And then there’s the biased reporting of the trial. If this had been a Muslim I have not a shred of a doubt that mental illness would be playing morning noon and night – after all the accused Thomas Mayer has a long history of psychiatric issues. Instead of ISIS or Militant Islam though, he also has a vague background of far right interest, although none of it appears to be in the UK, nor was he a member of a political party.
Seems to me that some serious double standards are being applied here. Muslims ISIS supporter – mentally ill
White murderer who actually does have mental health issues and he has no such excuse and I really do wonder if this so called material ever really does exist.

Thoughtful,
I am trying to suppress my conspiracy feelings here, but I have never seen a trial where all the pieces for the prosecution as covered by the BBC fit together so neatly. I did read that health issues were not going to be presented by the defence, and I am interested to see what line the defence can take, given that the defendant is pleading not guilty. Last week we had the witnesses together with snippets about the heroism of the victim, today the motive – Nazi literature.

Crisis on PM! House prices rising in the North and Midlands.
Didn’t the country get the message, “How Will Brexit Affect Your Finances?”:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that Brexit could cause a sharp drop in house prices. This was on the expectation that the cost of mortgages would rise.
The Treasury has said house prices could be hit by between 10% and 18% over the next two years, compared to where they otherwise would have been. This would be good news for first-time buyers, but not so great for existing homeowners.

The other thing that struck me was that whilst “Black History” is heavily promoted by the BBC, “White History” is linked with nazism…….this is a startling notion……to say the least.

As usual over the weekend and today we have been subjected to a non stop BBC barrage of liberal left , anti Brexit, (with honourable exception of Brillo) anti i Trump bias. On the DP today we had snide comments about DT coat of arms ( pretentious indeed but hardly news worthy) and on PM on a topic about Buckingham Palace , Eddie Mair managed to make another snide remark about DT which was totally unrelated to the item.
The BBC seem to regard both Putin and DT as serious threats to the Europe. But the truth is that the liberal left elite ,who have been in charge of the West for the past30 years, are the biggest threat to the peace and prosperity of our continent. It is this elite who have foolishly committed all of us ,without our consent , to a hugely risky multiculturalism experiment , which is failing before our eyes and opening the whole continent to religious wars. It is they who have coupled free trade with mass migration and called it globalisation . Free trade does not require total freedom of movement , a consequence of which is that millions of aliens are invading our continent and the elite stand by and watch, indeed tell the invaders that they are welcome and urge them to come.
When the people of Europe object the elite persecute them, ridicule them , tell them this is all inevitable and it is racist etc to oppose it. Then these fools at the BBC wonder why we are voting for Brexit, the Americans voted for DT, the Austrians will likely have a rightist President, Orban is riding high in Hungary, Le Pen and Wilders and the AfD are doing well in the polls. Did they really think that we would stand for our way of life being destroyed because they said it was inevitable? They are lucky that we are using the ballot box as our first resort. There are other ways to bring about regime change.

Mr Trump really needs to be made aware of the unrelenting and nasty side to the BBC’s reporting. It is also very stupid of the BBC to deliberately lampoon and insult him at every opportunity. It is going to be difficult for our governing class to work with him after the continual insults they and our media have heaped on him.
When President if I were him I would send our ambassador packing with a sharp message that he best stay away for a few months until the British elite learns some manners.

I believe the bookies are in for a hiding if Ed Balls wins Strictly.
Anyone who put anything on him to win all the way down to the present approx 10 to 1 is in line for a good payout.
There must be few opportunities to actually vote for your bet on long odds, so one suspects anyone with a bet on him will keep ticking the box, and possibly more are piling in at 10 to 1 just in time for Christmas.
I wonder if they will change the scoring system next year? On Saturday instead of getting 1 “judges point” EB got 2 because of a tie above him. If two people tie on say 4 points, the next person should only get 2, but at present gets 3. Because of this anomaly the person finishing bottom finishes much closer in judges points to the middle rankers than they should.
If you have a tie for gold at the Olympics they do not award a silver to the third placed person.
Anyway bBBCers keep voting for Ed, it is starting to get uncomfortable for the BBC and any criticism of them is good.

No doubt when Balls packs away his tux (although he has an army of supporters, and lacks the dignity and self awareness to do a John Sergeant who left the dance floor to people who can really dance) he will be lined up for Celebrity Master Chef – going for the hat trick, having already graced the Celebrity Bake Off.
And as if to underline how in thrall to Balls the BBC are, he can count amongst his supporters one of their producer / editors, Rachel Mallender, who ‘in her own words’ reckons that she’s glad that Balls is in for another week. I bet she is.

Someone who wants change.
But not just any changes, only the changes which they support, changes which usually result in the deaths of millions of innocent individuals.

Because “progressives” are correct, perpetually, and anyone who disagrees is a reactionary, a conservative who resists the changes of the “progressives” and therefore deserves to die.
Because only the beliefs of the “progressives” have any value. We know this to be the truth, because the “progressives” say so.
A conservative on the other hand is someone who wishes to, er, conserve.
Conserve the best of the present, as learnt from our ancestors. The distilled, filtered best of our culture, handed down to us, a sacred testament to our culturally identity.

One of the most disconcerting features of the old soviet system was the way it sought to indoctrinate children. Well guess what, the BBC website is doing just that this morning. It features an article where a “feminist author” (is there any other kind nowadays? what about the fact that boys are not reading, surely more of a pressing issue for the education system?). Apparently Cinderella is sexist and needs to be rewritten. But note that the children need guidance for their rewrite from an ideologically correct viewpoint. Why can’t they just let the children write and see what they come up with?

BBC balled out by the viewers
What a pleasure it was this morning to see the BBC breakfast bunnies, lanky beta-male Dan Walker and his female commissar Louise Minchin, both for a moment looking equally meek, having been roundly chastised by their viewers.
Some BBC bright spark producer looking to tick another equality box had come up with the spiffing idea of letting Jeanette Winterson (lesbian feminist campaigner) loose on young school children with the remit of re-writing the fairy tale Cinderella with a modern Politically Correct slant.
Oh dear. We don’t see much footage of Marxist indoctrination of children turning their young minds against the concept of the family. Prior to this toe curling BBC report the only example I can think of was a sequence in the movie The Killing Fields when a Khmer Rouge activist chalked on a blackboard a representation of a stick people family and a young Cambodian child was encouraged to come to the front of the makeshift village classroom and rub out the arms of the stick child and parent where they were previously joined as if to hold hands. The message was clear. Family group bad, individual good. That scene has stuck with me as being particularly poignant and a rare cinema critique of extreme leftist ideology. (There was also a heck of a lot of killing in the movie).
Happily, in Britain the BBC extremists can’t yet threaten us with Killing Fields when we object to their mad views. The Licence Payers emailed and texted in to the BBC commissars this morning that they didn’t like the idea of Fairy Tales for a modern age. Oh no they shouldn’t!
No Cinderella called Cindy with many bullying brothers and sisters – some of them ugly. No Cinderella starting her own business and earning lots of money to buy a trouser suit and trainers. No Cinderella and the Prince being just good friends and going off exploring on a gap year.

The media made man has in turn led the whole American media and large sections of the worlds’ media completely by the nose through the whole Presidential Election process.
Clever. Very clever.
In contrast to Trump, Hillary Clinton was Clinton. ‘See Clinton, get Clinton’. That may have caused swing voters and some Democrats to choose Trump.”
With apologies for re-posting part of my own post on the Scotch Mist thread elsewhere on B-BBC.

Not if the May hag has her way – there are “no vacancies” for anyone who might do the Former UK a service…

May is a Remainer and will go to great lengths to alienate Trump and scupper any chance of a closer US alliance to replace the EU

I don’t want Farage to be anything else. Yet… First he needs to oversee Brexit – he must hold May’s feet to the coals until she issues Article 50.
Once we’re out he can become anything he wants. UK Ambassador to the US. Yes, why not!
