This will have the BBC in a spin:

Here is one telling quote about TTP:
‘But its opponents say it was negotiated in secret and it favoured big corporations.’
Surely Barry didn’t negotiate, in secret, a deal that favoured the big corporations, did he?
The article also mentions that some of the text in the documents Kris Kobach was holding was visible. This happens frequently enough now that I wonder if it isn’t some new form of press release. The funny thing is that the MSM’s infantile reporters can’t suppress their glee and rush everything they spy into print.
Proof of ID may be needed for NHS care, says health chief
The bbc must be running around like headless chickens this morning. That bastion of socialism, their beloved NHS, that has so far survived the all-too-familiar cornerstones of socialism itself – inefficiency, mis-management, is under threat. And why is it threatened? Because it is being abused – quelle surprise. And who is abusing it? People who are otherwise anonymous in our country courtesy of the free movement of people-liberal socialists. But, heaven forbid, does that mean that these invaders must reveal who they actually are?
How things are changing.
“BBC’s Christmas crackers”
Media Graun headline.
Made me laugh. Then I saw what it referred to.
And I was laughing no more.
Saw this over on going postal yesterday involving ben shapiro. Watch till the end to see the kindness in there hearts, not. Guys like Ben and Milo have some balls to be facing these cretins.
OK in the video a large group of students use their intimidation to close down the invited speaker.
– If 2 men went into a feminist meeting and tried to close it down, they would be arrested.
– Now in this case the group which is disproportionately non-white doesn’t get arrested.
Surely that is an abuse of privilege ? They didn’t get arrested cos they are a mob and cos they are non-white.
If the University authorities had any moral fibre and understanding of what a university is for, then they would give all those students (if they are indeed all students) written warning that the next time they closed down a legitimate meeting, they would be sent down permanently. That would stop this sort of outrage dead in its tracks. One university needs to start this ball rolling. I’ll not comment on those students’ actions, which were idiotic in the extreme.
They were burning the flag in American universities on Veterans day – no comment possible.
I used to like Ben Shapiro, unfortunately he became a traitor. He was a part of the conservative boycott of Trump.
More financial bad news in the wake of Brexit:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38062164
Now borrowing is down. Not the longest article the BBC has ever produced but I bet every word was torture for them.
To help those poor hacks at the BBC cope with this bad news I hear they have all gathered in one of their safe spaces and are consoling themselves with this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38063933
A negative story about UKIP…a BBC sure fire winner.
Odd that the BBC and Sky were falling over themselves with interest at the actor Brandon Dixon’s unpleasant hectoring of Mike Pence in a Broadway Theatre, yet appear to have completely missed this …
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/11/21/hamilton-star-lectured-pence-fire-racist-sexist-tweets/
… that he appears to be a grossly, racist, sexist little shit.
But he is black thus the BBC and Sky cannot so much as mention these ravings.
If challenged, CECUTT will likely claim the BBC only has enough money, time and staff to cover very specific areas of public interest.
Top news: France Qatar: Two robbed of $5m in road hold-up near Paris
No, I don’t know what a ‘France Qatar’ might be either.
I wake up each morning and have to gird my loins and dig deep for the mental strength to switch on R4 and listen to the toady prog. I tell myself I shoudn’t do it but then I am gagging to hear the daily crisis in the NHS.
True to form, there was one this morning – and I see it is headlining in some papers. Clients and users (whatever fancy name they want to give patients) are going to have to show a passport and one other piece of identification in order to receive treatment. Well, that will help shorten waiting times, won’t it?
The words horse, bolted and cart come to mind!
I am still waiting for someone to mention the elephant in the room; this elephant sits in waiting rooms, is outside school gates, is in the housing offices…in fact there seems to be a herd of them in many parts of the country.
Will no one ever admit…we have too many people in this country!!
Soapbox -Many of them seem to come from the same places as elephants as well, funnily enough.
Radio 4 has kicked the day off in true left wing style this morning!
9:00 One to one Miranda Rae on the challenges of being a single parent of a mixed race child
Full of anti white racism, and constant references to ‘white privilege’ which as far as I know is acknowledged by the mainstream to be an anti white racist concept with no basis in fact.
09:45 Letter from America – In this second programme, the African American author Thomas Chatterton Williams writes about what he sees as the deepening racial divide in the United States.
Full of left wing navel gazing and hate for Trump – he’s appalled that someone dare criticise the Obamessiah even in the mildest terms.
10:00 Moaners Hour with Amma Asante a Black film director, here is her interview with the FT.
For a while, writing seemed to be her future. Then she wrote a script about poverty and racism in a small Welsh community.
Released in 2004, A Way of Life is bleak and at times difficult to watch. The film tells the story of a gobby, racist, single mum who joins a throng of teens as they kick a Turkish Muslim man to death.
Yeah cause that kind of thing happens every day on Britains council estates doesn’t it? (probably in the Fascist Left mind it does!).

Just another day at the most biased radio station in the UK !
BBC Radio 4 has become the Race Station. At almost any time of the day, switching it on is like opening the gates of a madhouse in which the inmates are maniacally obsessed with one single idea and nothing else.
Sadly, there seems to be no one at the BBC with enough maturity or common sense to see what is going on and tell them to stop it.
Count your blessings, Thoughtful. If you’d watched Breakfast instead you’d have enjoyed Adrian Chiles in uber-umbrage mode on the perils of being black in British football, preceded by the magnificent pairing of Jeanette Winterton and Zoe Williams on the demeaning, subservient or antagonistic roles of women in traditional fairy tales. Yes, really.
Is there perhaps an unofficial ‘nice little earner’ link between BBC Breakfast and a major indigestion tablet producer?
“the perils of being black in British football”
Must be just awful, like the risk of having your £25k Rolex stolen – in the news only a couple of days ago.
The perils of an ill-educated, thick bugger being forced to drive around in a Bentley. But enough about BBC employees.
“One to One” on the increasingly propagandizing Radio 4 (09:30 to 09:45).
Two White middle-class women with children by non-White partners (Thai and Jamaican) were emoting about their experiences of being single mothers … and telling the rest of us what to think AND what language was acceptable nowadays. No questions, of course, about WHY they were no longer with the biological fathers; one of them said that the relationship with the Thai man ‘didn’t work out’ and she’d come back to Britain; the other now has another Jamaican partner though not the father of her son, about whom nothing was said.
We learned so much of interest. “Mixed race” as an adjective is out! ‘We’ don’t use that any more, ‘we’ say “dual heritage”. Both women had some Irish ancestry and concluded from this that everyone was to some extent of “dual heritage”; in other words, there is no racial basis to being British whatsoever, in their opinion. “Black” is another word that is out, “of colour” being preferred according to one of the women.
“White privilege” was mentioned (BOX TICKED!) as one of the stupid women said how she had become aware of it by seeing people’s reaction to her son. “Racist” incidents were recounted, e.g. in a pub or shop in Devon or Cornwall where the locals hadn’t yet quite got with the BBC agenda and were cool towards children of colour. I wonder if these people have ANY idea about what goes on in terms of banter or worse in schools between teenagers, where race isn’t involved but where boys will be boys (and girls to, in case you’re reading this, Jenni!) and hurtful things are said. Why is it that specifically racial remarks are worse than any others? Who decides these things? Why should someone from Bristol expect places further south and west to have the same metropolitan attitude to mixed race families that middle-class BBC types have?
I am fed up with being lectured on how to think by self-obsessed and unrepresentative media types whose chief talent seems to be getting hold of the microphone and bashing their own people.
‘ “Racist” incidents were recounted’
There is no place for racism, but the problem with this is that anyone can no come onto the BBC and say these things without a shred of evidence.
BUT it fits the BBC narrative; their desire to stir things up – like all of those people from Europe uncomfortable following the Brexit vote…or the IT developer yesterday complaining that she no longer felt welcome in the UK.
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? Did anyone from the BBC ask?
The BBC asks a lot, until editorial integrity sees them go mute.
‘Recounted’ seems a worthy addition to ‘people are saying’, ‘critics claim’ or the ‘BBC has learned’, too often connected to a piece where ‘purposes of’ exemptions see they also go coy on substantiation or attribution.
““of colour” being preferred according to one of the women.”
But that wouldn’t include “coloured”, would it?
I’m 6ft 2in (used to be 6ft 3in, sadly). In future, I wish to be called a “person of height”. “Tall” has negative associations as in “tall story” etc and must no longer be used. Anyone who doesn’t conform to this diktat will be given a very hard time indeed. And that includes any short, ugly, fatties out there. Got it?
Mustapha,
In my experience in Gambia, most black Gambian men just want a white woman for money and a visa. I mean , if you see an old ugly white woman with a young handsome Gambian boy what is that ? Love ? It always ends in tears for the stupid white woman.
The Black Farmer , who just wants to get on in life comes from that area . He says he hardly encounters any racism and presumably because he doesn’t spend his time looking for it he’s built up a thriving business .
He did take some kids out from London to work on his farm . He took them into a store sorry shop to buy working clothes and told them he wants them to look like farmers ( wellies , wax jackets , tweed hats etc ) .
Later in the programme ( channel 4 I think ) they showed the coach dropping the youths off in a large village and the locals looking at them with at least bemusement . I think the film makers were trying to show white people aghast at black people alighting in the area . I think they were just curious about young people , regardless of colour , wanting to be in their village .
“wellies , wax jackets , tweed hats etc”
Good luck with that back in Peckham. I’d give them 10 minutes.
BBC The Black Broadcasting Company.
Racists every one.
Brandon Dixon on the view with whoopi and the gang. All one big love in. The love emphasising the elect part of president elect as if its wishful thinking he may not take office on jan 20th. The arrogance of all of them is through the roof. Now if a white guy done the same speech to obama all hell would break loose.
We’ve not seen anything exactly like this but give it time:
Stonehenge and all other standing stones should be expunged from the landscape.
They are symbols of a time of unreconstructed, un-progressive and politically incorrect attitudes.
There removal would, of course, wipe them from our memory and it would be like that piece of history never occured. We will then be able to proceed unencumbered by the fact we had antecedents not as right on, inclusive and none judgemental as us.
Tax income boosts government borrowing
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business
An odd BBC headline when tax income has resulted in borrowing for October being the odd billion or so LESS than experts expected.
I’m disgusted by the coverage of the trial of Jo Cox’s murderer. Whenever an Islamic terror attack occurs, the media do whatever they can to avoid blaming Islam itself. Mental illness or personal issues are always emphasised instead.
It’s true that Jo Cox’s murderer was an extreme right winger, and methodically planned the attack related to political motives. However, the BBC are deliberately trying to downplay the fact that he was a loner with a confirmed mental illness.
They are literally trying to rationalise the actions of an irrational mind, in order to conflate the murder with Brexit, as they attempted to do immediately after the incident took place.
“It’s true that Jo Cox’s murderer was an extreme right winger, and methodically planned the attack related to political motives.”
How can you say that? Nobody has been found guilty of murdering her.
You seem to be influenced by the BBC’s opinion on this matter.
All the evidence undoubtedly points that way my friend, you’d have to be completely delusional to deny it. I don’t think the BBC has reached the point where it’s going to completely fabricate the entire evidence for a murder trial, even they couldn’t pull that off, I hope. What you have ignored is the rest of my post, which is far more important.
It’s the way the story is being framed that concerns me, emphasising his political motives while deliberately playing down his serious mental health issues. They wouldn’the cover an Islam-inspired attack in this way, they’d focus on other factors, such as, mental heath and personal issues. It’s an obvious case of double-standards.
Razza
“All the evidence undoubtedly points that way my friend, you’d have to be completely delusional to deny it.”
I have not seen any evidence, only news reports. I do agree with you though that the BBC does slant their reports to suit their agenda.
Why do I get the distinct feeling that we are not being told even half the story behind this crime?
And why am I certain that we will never hear it from the BBC?
GCooper
Because they hate Brexit.
Simples.
Making public the details of most interest will very probably echo that of Thomas Hamilton’s case which, despite a partial release of information in 2005, still has 80 years of embargo left to run.
The lengthy and detailed 1991 report by DS Paul Hughes which recommended prosecution for child abuse and revocation of Hamilton’s Firearm Certificate was ignored and, by the time this and other more relevant details are released, everyone involved will be dead. That’s democracy and our world-envied judicial system at work, on your behalf.
There are long standing rumours of senior politicians being rather too interested in Thomas Hamilton’s boys’ clubs. One was his character reference for his Firearms Certificate.
Central Scotland Police would have never granted a FAC to anyone with his bad character who did not have political influence, so it’s a good job we will not know the facts for 100 years. No sense letting the peons know what their betters get up in their spare time isit? Easier just to scapegoat 50,000 innocent people who did nothing wrong, and confiscate their legally owned property.
I’m trying to take this trial at face value. I really am.
But when I note how Mr Mair’s previously reported mental illness is being unpersonned so that it apparently never existed; when I read on the BBC website that Mr Mair will not offer any defence and therefore we won’t hear his thoughts; when I look down that article to see the picture of a headscarfed member of the Religion of Peace prominently mentioned as having helped the poor woman – I can’t help hearing my inner bullshit alarm going off.
Be a bit careful @Razza94
“All the evidence undoubtedly points that way my friend,”
If you listen to the court reports daily you’ll hear things like
“The court heard that Mair is a racist collector of Nazi memorobilia…as the PROSECUTION presented their case”
..ie so far the prosecution has made assertions.
However instead of the next day the defence asserting the allegations are false , the defendant has chose NOT speak himself. So yes that seems to lean towards the allegations being true, but the court case isn’t over yet.
– I don’t think here there is trhe biggest injustice in reporting the case.
It is typical in big cases to report day to day action
(BTW in the Sunday prog the presenter told the panelist to stop mentioning the case cos its subjustice to discuss it)
But what is obvious is that there is a secret agreement to play down reporting of certain types of court cases ie almost all court cases where Muslims are the perpetrators. and possibly cases where blacks are the are the perpetrators.
Reporting severely on white men is OK even if the case never comes to trial.
Yesterday was interesting on the BBC web-site. After a few years of subverting and shutting down comment on HYS Threads and Blogs, loads were open all at the same time. OK, the BBC’s software is still a complete wreck but I wonder if someone, somewhere at the BBC has realised that they are losing attention, subscribers and participation at a record rate and now wish they had not done it.
Some other recent changes have been noticed. It doesn’t matter what the subject for comment may be, even a HYS on sport or technology, it will attract unfavourable comments about the BBC and also, almost without exception, about the BBC being biased towards ‘the Left’ and/or the Labour Party. That last, often has comments attached questioning ‘if the BBC love Labour, why do they hate Corbyn?’.
Comments on Blogs & HYS did not originally have a Like/Dislike feature. Many registered users did not like and did not want the feature when it was introduced and protested but the BBC insisted. Unfortunately for the BBC, a recent trend appears – bear in mind the current software fault that prevents viewing of more than a few posts – when viewing comments by Like/Dislike ranking, the highest and lowest rated all seem to have the same content that is at odds with the ‘BBC approved view’.
I’ve just viewed the link provided in his/her first post by new member on here, PoachedX. The BBC are in trouble. It is not looking good for them. The Highest and Lowest rated posts now tend to all read in the opposite way to the perceived BBC-desired result.
If ever there was a good time to wave the white flag, repent and turn the BBC through a one hundred and eighty degree turn, it is now.
Over to you, D-G.
Sorry Up2snuff … although I admire your faith that the D-G may in fact be rational and wake-up today suddenly seeing the light … well, it just ain’t going to happen. The BBC has been getting away with broadcast murder since at least the Thatcher years (which is as far back as I can remember).
I find it’s best to visualize the BBC as the propaganda arm of a globalist dictator, intractable opposed to Britain as a nation state and British values, who will always be looking for ways to undermine Britain and it’s allies.
The good thing is that the BBC has been forced out into the open recently by the 3 defeats it has suffered at the polls. It has had to redouble (maybe retriple) it’s propaganda and nearly everyone has noticed.
Now would be a good time to close in and finish the BBC off, follow the blessed Linekar’s advice and make the licence fee voluntary, if the UK Government had the bXlls. Unfortunately, Theresa (bless her) is too cautious and will miss the moment.
G’da edu! Perhaps I have a touching faith in the miraculous. No need to apologise – I respect your views here.
Don’t recall the Beeb being horrendously anti-Thatcher except in respect of three issues all of which got some Tories in a lather about the Beeb & other broadcasters: Sinking of the General Belgrano, Clause 28 and the banning of IRA spokespeople from TV. Certainly they eventually didn’t like her much later on, having backed her initially against Heath & later against Wilson/Callaghan. I think they would have loved her, too, because of the big income tax cuts that came the way of the highest paid from the start of her administration. That period may well be the source of the BBC’s now notorious greed for cash.
Personally, I think there has been a marked change in BBC bias around 2009 (around 3 D-Gs back!) but I appreciate that you feel its has been a more steady progression from around 1979. I will file that bit of useful info away & ponder it from time to time.
Market share is still important for the Beeb even with its protected status. I wonder if the current interest in ‘fake news’ and social media and news on the internet has caused someone at the BBC to look at their own web-site traffic and realise their ‘community’ is shrinking fast and disappearing into the interwebby looking for alternatives.
The BBC have shown left-leanings since the 1970s. And boy, despite the incompetence and the state of the country, the BBC definitely supported Callaghan against Thatcher, although they supported all strikers against Callaghan. They attacked Thatcher from before she took office, turned it up by a few ratchits once she was elected and haven’t let it go ever since.
In fact, going back to 1970, they were pro-Wilson (despite crashing a thriving economy in the 60s) and anti-Heath (despite him being a CINO). They were definitely pro-Union and against the British People at the time as well. They were pleased that Thatcher beat Heath because they hated him so much (and probably assumed that a woman would never be elected PM). They then turned their bile against her, very misogynistically and dishonestly, even worse than against Heath.
That is certainly my recollection, too. The BBC has always had a far Left element – once exemplified by noted Communist agitators like the dire Ewan McColl, the Manchester born ‘Scotsman’ who was allowed to broadcast Communist propaganda during the 1960s.
What has happened is that, each success has allowed and encouraged it to move to the next stage. It’s hard to see where it can go from here, so pervasive is its influence at the BBC today.
I think it was in the 1960s that MI5 stopped vetting senior appointments to BBC management. It shows.
It was. It does.
The BBC didn’t fully become anti-Conservative until the end of Blaie and becamwe virtually Radio Labour a bit later than that
Remember Ben Elton’s brilliant rants against Thatcher were on channel 4
..and Not the Nine O Clock News had a Yoof program spoof where the kids in the audience answer to every question was “Tories”..portraying the kids as idiots (not the Tories)
All news reporting has been wrong and lacking context and perpective since I first experienced a real news event.
I remember when a BBC news producer girl boasted to me in year 2000 I told here
“but your news reporting is absolute rubbish, you guys live inside some kind of bubble not the real world”
Still waiting for the Panorama Special on the BBCs dire output.
The BBC website reproduces Trump’s tweet about Farage “Mr Trump said “many people” would like to see Mr Farage as ambassador and he would do a “great job”.. The BBC webpage then goes on to give the opinion of Sopel, and it is this which is the line taken by broadcast reports:-
The future head of state of one nation telling another country who they should appoint as their ambassador is unusual enough; when it is two nations that are meant to share a special relationship it is a breach of nearly every rule of diplomatic protocol.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38060434
So the BBC are informing their audience that Trump is “telling” when he is just voicing popular opinion.
Said it before, but the BBCs intellectual level of reporting and interviewing has descended to that of a, spiteful, nasty, tale-telling child.
Odd the BBC seems more sanguine when the people of another country are ‘warned’ or ‘threatened’ by those from overseas whose views the national broadcaster shares.
Another Trump coup. Quite rightly and understandably Mr Trump can have no faith in our current elite and that includes May.
The whole lot of them have been hostile. He is testing possibilities.He has the entire US elite against him and that is entwined with ours.
He will need loyal and steadfast allies.Nigel would be one .
R4 is doing a series featuring no-bodies talking about the Trump victory.
Last nights did make a couple of good points amongst the usual ‘deplorable’ shite.
Along the lines of, “Who are the Trump voters?”. Turns out that in over 200 counties
that had voted, Obama, this time voted, Trump.
Trump wants Farage for US Ambassador and Al Beeb don’t like it .
HYS is open for comments ! ……….
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38060434
And what does Tim Farron think ?………….
‘The campaign reminds me of Brexit. With one side with populist, divisive arguments and the other one just with rather dull arguments against them.’ – Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron……….
http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/09/nigel-farage-says-he-could-be-donald-trumps-ambassador-in-the-eu-6245246/#ixzz4Qjd9BGO7
‘Populist’ is now an insult?
and therefore un-popular is a term of endearment lol, long may they continue in their un-popular ways
gaxvil
Populist = “a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.”
It could be said that the winner of a democratic election would be a populist ?
So what is the opposite, An ‘Unpopulist’? 😉
You could ask Jeremy Corbyn …
… perhaps?
Tim Farron …
… definitely!
Somebody called Farron said:
“Farage as ambassador is a frankly stupid idea. I have more diplomacy in my little finger.”
Perfectly logical comment from his point of view as that is where his brain is located.
Idea for that foreign-sounding caller to Gary Bellamy on Radio 4’s spoof phone-in ‘Down The Line’:
“Tim Farron, vot iz point?”
Bring back Felix Dexter, too!
“Dem LibDem dems dem……” – Wonderful.
at least nigel understands the meaning of the word democracy, which is more than i can say for fallow brain
fallows idea of diplomacy is to surrender to everyone
nige knows how to pick a winner 🙂
which is more than the current ambassador could do
Agree, except the bit where you credit Farron with having an “idea”. A bit like a spider’s web being the spider’s idea. It isn’t, it’s just what spiders do.
The interesting thing is, Britain might or might not already have an effective ambassador in Washington but if Trump wants to speak to Farage, he probably will and there is little Downing Street can do about it.
Again the BBC is demonstrating it’s politics of the playground.
Driven by jealousy, insecurity and selfishness.
‘But your my BFF and I don’t want you doing stuff with ……. because I’ll get upset, stamp my feet, tell lies about you and you’ll be in trouble.’
Trump says something weird and controversial
..and suddenly the media give him hours of free publicity and get distracted from other things.
He’s played that game before
In the US The presidents appoints ambassadors like as a kind of favour payback.
So it wouldn’t be a ridiculous thing there.
It may play to US voters to see that UK polis like Fallon sre still spreading hate.
Of course it won’t happen cos UK ambassodors are professional dim-plomats not polis.
Bet the family of Ambassador to Bengazi was thrilled how a previous favoured appointment worked out
https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/twitter-diplomacy.html?
Not sure this latest outrage outing is working any better than those of Mishal and Justin, etc.
Someone earlier raised the odd BBC ‘like/dislike’ practices.
This was recently posted:

“Please explain how a multimillionaire city banker, that gets more air time from the BBC …”
If you mean Farage he is neither a multimillionaire or was ever a banker. He was a metals trader. He gave that up to fight for a principal for 20 years and was proved right
But do carry on as facts seem to be something quite alien to your thinking …
As I refreshed every like was matched by a dislike.
Interesting on a post that is pure fact. What… is not to like?
12:15pm Radio4 Y&Y “What Brexit price rises have you noticed ?”
On the trailer : One guy said “well since it’s €1:£1”
..well actual exchange rate is 1 GBP = 1.17 EUR
So 17% is a long way to be out.
R4 4 pm Melanie Phillips examines where we should place the limits on free speech
She argues that we’re placing limits on freedom of speech in the wrong place, outlawing certain points of view for fear of upsetting certain groups in our society, while allowing others which should be prohibited because they pose a danger to the state.
“the security services have lost a huge amount of accumulated expertise in identifying and dealing with subversive behaviour and ..the state needs to be protected not just against violent acts but against incitement to insurrection against the established order.”
2:15pm a play about Eco-Terrorism 1/2
Set in California, and inspired by a true story. A radical group of environmental activists becomes suspicious of their latest recruit, the mysterious Anna. Believing she might be an FBI infiltrator, members of the group attempt to unmask her before carrying out their most audacious act – a plan to blow up a dam.

On reflection I would be of the opinion that Trump and Farage have ‘run rings’ around Al Beeb and the MSM.
Now bring in and add ‘Milo’.
Absolutely Superb !
I agree taffman.
Classic Tweeting windup.
A joy to hear Norman Smith bewail “the breaking of long-established diplomatic protocols”.
Always great to see the Children of the Revolution run into Lady Bracknells wardrobe to change outfit and don some pearls to clutch, some chaise longue to declaim from over half-moon granny glasses.
If I were Nigel, I`d set up a marquee by Trump Towers and offer an “Alternative British Consular and Diplomatic Experience Facility”….and ensure NO intros to anybody who even SMELLS of Saviles egg butties like the liberal media who hate him, and now hate The Don.
Britain open for business in the Big Apple as the Tories stand in the gloom…
Yes, it’s a top piece of trolling. And so funny to hear the BBC completely miss that point.
A view of the, “cry-bully”:

More good Brexit news ……..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38062164
Did anyone else listen to this morning’s “Letters from America” on Radio 4 ? If you were lucky you’d have missed it.
I was naively hoping that this 15 minute slot before Wimmin’s Hour would be full of the late and great Anglophile, Alistair Cooke. Alas it wasn’t. This morning’s contributor was a black American disgusted at the outbreak of democracy in his country and almost weeping in frustration at the election of “The Donald.”
Voters for Mr Trump were pretty much dismissed as either racist bigots or thickos. Apparently Trump is an uneducated, inarticulate buffoon and is replacing the most eloquent and popular president the US has ever been fortunate to have. It was side splitting! He even roundly attacked those ghastly white liberals (?) who were going about in sackcloth and ashes apologising for the outcome of the election. Well, on that point I agree with him.
Those virtue signalling creeps really make me want to vomit. Yeuk!
However, it did set me to thinking what might happen if a white American had ever dared to ridicule blacks for voting for Obama in this offensive fashion. Would the Beeb have offered him air time? Sorry, I’m being facetious, we all know the answer to that; he wouldn’t get within a hundred yards of a microphone. Blimey, he might not even get into the country. Would (so called) liberal schools and universities have invited him to speak? I see they’ve banned Milo from talking at his own old school!
Isn’t democracy is a wonderful and precious thing?
I don’t see how the BBCs constant stoking the fires of division and talking down the country at every opportunity is helping anyone?
They seem caught in a Black Hole where reality ceases to have meaning.
Getting back to the question of Saint Jo:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38064407
One day Gobdorf and Mr Cox are on the Thames abusing British fishermen concerned for their livelihoods and the next day Mrs Cox is dead.
Who primed the gun and the nutter ?
Maybe a link like Mohamed cartoons and murder?
“One day Gobdorf and Mr Cox are on the Thames abusing British fishermen concerned for their livelihoods and the next day Mrs Cox is dead.”
I do think that Mair made the wrong choice.
Not realy BBC bias but an annoying video clip…
Station Road: The desperate renter
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/features/magazine-38019926/38019926
On every Station Road is a housing story. Gina is nearly £10,000 in debt – is there anything she can do about it?
About 1 minute into the video it shows her monthly salary, rent, and other expenses. It shows her “mobile/internet” is £62 a month!!!!!! Christ on a bike! My mobile costs just £7 a month with all the free minutes and internet usage I ever need and I’m sure I could find cheaper.
I used to be on the Orange Virgin tariff, a sort of contract PAYG.
Usually around £2 a month. Cost them more to send the bill.
Then the fam gave me preloved iPhone 4 so I went on a 3 £4.99 data package so I could find pubs in strange cities.
Never exceeded it.
The Prime annual sub is about half the BBC one. Top value. Though I am now checking the factuality of ‘Manhattan’. The lesbian stuff is fun, mind. It was clearly a not so different time.
No lizard ladies yet, though.
“£62 a month!!!!!! Christ on a bike!”
Exactly. I’m surprised they divulged that.
Also, her ex “walked out”. Very unfortunate for her, I’m sure, but break ups often have financial consequences. I don’t want to sound cruel, but it tells us nothing whatsoever about the cost of living generally or, Heaven forbid, what our “rights” should be.
It seems hard to find a two parent family on TV these days. Two salaries are always better than one but the penny doesn’t seem to have dropped.
“It seems hard to find a two parent family on TV these days”
Unless they are mixed race of course. These seem to be the norm these days.
Wilders on trial , Milo banned , Tommy Robinson hounded, no platforming in Universities rife but only applied to non liberals, attacks on the free press, attempts to lift the last vestiges of impartiality requirement on the BBC, attempts to achieve liberal left dominance and control of the internet, flagrant use by the left of fake news as exposed by Brillo on Sunday, Islamophobia and hate speech nearly on the statue book.Can there be any doubt that the liberal left elite are mounting a well planned international attack on anyone and any organisation which does not agree with their globalist world view. The people are fighting back using their vote at the ballot box but will it be enough? After all we voted Leave but the elite seem set to ignore the democratic will of the people.
1/3 of today’s Times editorial is about the suppression of Milo’s right to free speech.
..They point out that both UKIP and Green reps have spoken at the school before.
Seems to me that the school and govt have a pact to blame each other for the ban.
Logical thing would be to speak but at another venue..so he doesn’t let the pupils down. And be canny with-holding the name of the venue to keep out the LeftMob bullies.
=================
Hugo Rifkind in the Times..long column about Trump abolishing Green policies
..”I have not heard skeptics crowing” (well we are not like you guys are we ?)
He predicts that backed into a corner DramaGreens will unite around a Green banner.
Milo seems to really worry them. No doubt useless May personally ordered him to be no platformed. Just about her level.
And a grammar school boy as well.
Now if he had gone to Eton?
Breitbart is another worry. Far too close to Mr Trump and if May and her lot can smear Brietbart it will only help isolate him and bring him to good liberal heels.
No chance dumbnuts.
So do we start blocking the internet like China or what. Arresting us who look at Breitbart?
This dreadful government will prove to be the most authoritarian in a long time. It has nowhere else to go now if it wants to stop Brexit.
As for the special relationship. Well the US under President Trump needs it like anthrax.
Hope Milo`s got an agent.
He`s gone from obscure Breitbart joke now to the “voice of youth” despite ALL that brainwash and sheepdip.
His school should be very proud of having at least ONE ex-pupil who`s not a Jo Cox chihuahua carrying, arse- kissing nonce.
Bet OFSTED are already looking for independent thought alarms, and wondering how to reboot the kids there back to factory settings.
Milo is our Pim Fortuyn, only with a happy ending this time.
Might name our new school after him!
The BBC and Education Dept are shit-scared of him…so he (Like Geert Wilders) will be one to watch next year.
And all this publicity is making the liberal left corkscrew on its tail..they hate that! They usually love their gays , and Milo`s confusing them.
cH and all above,
They cannot cope with Milo. He does not fit in to their little world and he is much smarter than the Leftie dummies. More power to his elbow and every other appendage !
“So do we start blocking the internet like China or what. Arresting us who look at Breitbart?”
I think their current ploy is to make Breitbart’s website so slow to load that we only ever get to read a couple of stories in any one day.
The British are just too stoical – sometimes it’s just not enough to, ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’. Things might be different if were less reserved.
Doublethinker
The liberal left elite have infiltrated the Universities, the education system and the media . They are responsible for wiping out patriotism, air brushing out our culture and proud history and emphasising a multi-culti mind set so much that youngsters and students are beginning to resent their own roots, even to close down freedom of speech.
Look at today’s example of the liberal left elite at work………

“will it be enough?”
I hope so.
If not it will have to be plan A, heads must roll.
I have a tumbril already.
Only need some 8 X 4 timber, some nails.
Oh, and a three foot length of sharpened steel.
Guillotine them with some Imperial sized material, really piss them off.
To all the people who commented . I agree with all the points made, except Truthseeker. Guillotines are slow, messy and laborious , much better just to shoot those who need to be executed for crimes against the people, after due legal process has condemned them of course. After all we do believe in the Rule of Law even if our opponents don’t and have twisted the law for their own ends.
Doublethinker
Thank goodness we have a Conservative government with a PM dedicated to protecting British freedoms and Tory MPs prepared to stand up and be counted.
GWF,
Not sure how to respond, surely you being ironic, well I hope so. But whatever the true intentions of the government are we can sure that the intention of he BBC is to destroy British freedoms , British values , British culture and British democracy and replace the lot with a multyculty Utopia.
So true……not.
There’s an old Black Country saying:-
‘They’re not sure if their arse is bored or punched.’
Many of you will recall the video link posted on this site of Milo being interviewed by the BBC where he proceeded to tear the interviewer a new one. The point of note being that the video was of the entire interview taken with a non-BBC, ie impartial, camera.
Does anyone recall seeing this interview on the BBC? If so, would it be possible to provide a link to the BBC version for comparison.
My money would be on it having been erased due to some unfortunate accident where a powerful magnet was left too near the tape (age alert – do they still use tape?).
List of forthcoming EU vote dates from the Times.
Radio 2 has just run an advert for a piece on GCHQ, which has difficulty in recruiting the so-called ‘black and ethic minority’ as ‘spies’, and as such isn’t ‘representative’ of the UK population.
The programme is going to be broadcast on The Asian Network, which is also hardly representative of the UK population. The BBC just doesn’t see the ‘beam’ in its own ‘eye’ does it?
We consciously or unconsciously always emulate America.
Just how will that work now ‘deplorable’ Trump is President?
Interesting times.
error ?
cos programme is going to be broadcast Tonight 8pm on Radio4
“Radio 2 has just run an advert for a piece on GCHQ, which has difficulty in recruiting the so-called ‘black and ethic minority’ as ‘spies’, and as such isn’t ‘representative’ of the UK population.”
Jim, this has to be one to miss, for so many reasons. Even the BBC should know that GCHQ is the electronic end of intelligence work and so doesn’t need “spies”. The people end is MI5 and MI6. On the other hand, if I was in the business of gathering intelligence using undercover agents in the BME “community” I would be very happy for everyone to think that I couldn’t recruit any. My people would be much safer.
Dear BBC,
If you are going to deal in lies and half truths, you must be in a position to be able to control and block ALL other sources and even then it’s an uphill struggle.
Now go away and think thru’ what I’ve said.
Here’s a clue: China and Soviet Russia and you need the light of truth in order to weald the sword of freedom.
gaxvil, “Dear BBC,
If you are going to deal in lies and half truths,…..”. Simple suggested reply from BBC:
‘We go out of our way to employ many Muslim reporters, producers and research staff here at the BBC. They have a special way of promoting the ‘lies and half truths’ you refer to. Its called ‘Taqiyya’ and they practice it well and that’s how we, the senior management, sleep at night.’
“Not us Guv”
Just take a look at this story from 2000AD comic for kids and how prescient it was. Sure the protagonists are aliens, but as a metaphor for what has happened today it really has summed up the future very accurately.
I doubt in todays oppressive environment they would even be allowed to publish something like this:
Thoughtful, I can’t link to it, but if you’re looking for prescient there was a classic story in “The Victor” in the 1960s. At the outset Britain had been conquered by “Saharans” from North Africa and the story was of its liberation by forces from Britain’s base on Mars. I don’t remember much of it, but there was a chapter over a few weeks about the British resistance group in Birmingham – the group leader blew himself up rather than betray the reconnissance party from the British fleet.
Now I’ll have to look in the attic for back copies.
Trump has spoken. The six executive actions he would take on day one are:
1. issuing notice of withdrawing from Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal
2. cancelling restrictions on US energy production
3. cutting regulations on businesses
4. ordering a plan to combat cyber-attacks
5. investigating visa abuses that undercut American workers
6. imposing a five-year ban on people leaving government to become lobbyists
The wording is from the BBC, but there is a difference between “cancelling” and “cutting” between Points 2 & 3.
Does cancel mean cancel, like Brexit means Brexit?
Info from via @GolfCharlie
One issue with 2) and 3) is that Obama subsidised his solar corp mates with $billions and made special laws saying that if wind/solar corp energy it was bought as a priority and coal/gas had to turn down their production at that moment.
Most solar corps still went bust anyway and the gov lost $billions in loans as well.
It must be nice to have a decisive leader. I’ve forgotten what it’s like, it’s been so long.
Hmmm, May’s opening speech was full of promise but not dynamic or upbeat.
Gaxvil, that was so many months ago I’ve forgotten the details. Has anything happened yet to implement any of it?
RJ,
You tell me?
I remember her saying ‘Brexit means Brexit’, she also said some other interesting things like
‘It is quite widely known that I like shoes. This is not something that defines me as either a woman or a politician, but it has come to define me in the eyes of the newspapers. I wore a pair of leopard-print kitten heels to a Conservative Party Conference a few years ago and the papers have continued to focus on my feet ever since.’
This is one woman who will never be no platformed

One thing is certain, this ghoulish trial is feeding the gutter based appetites of the Guardian/BBC who are wallowing in the blood so that this episode will be regurgitated every time one of their RoP terrorists commits an atrocity

Dear Public Accounts Committee,
Very simple question really, (with supporting evidence):
Rather than protecting British taxpayers money, why is the Head of PAC making
incredibly weak arguments, on National TV, for our taxes to be radically
abused to the massive tune of, conservatively estimated. £2 Billion per
annum, when such simple solutions are available?
EVIDENCE
This morning on BBC2 Victoria Derbyshire programme, Chair of the PAC, Meg
Hillier MP, rather than recommending simple solutions to protect us
taxpayers from being abused big time, Meg Hillier was basically giving
extremely weak arguments against NHS not having realistic simple systems
in operation, eg One argument Meg used is that people do not have
utility bills who live here.
If the Head of our Public Accounts Committee is so brazenly promoting such empathy for not tackling this abuse positively, is it any wonder it will not be resolved
and those majority of us UK voters, who elected a Government not to
allow us to be so easily fleeced, are so angry.
SEE BBC iplayer.for full video evidence of Meg Hillier’s weak arguments – Victoria Derbyshire programme – see from 10.15 am
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b083hb1k/victoria-derbyshire-22112016
Yours sincerely
Very concerned taxpayer
DELETED FOR PRIVACY
Good for you. Of course you’ll only get a bland reply, fobbing you off . Meg Hillier is a former Islington Councillor and was parachuted into her Hackney constituency via an all women short list . She is part of the Islington mafia of MPs who have stuck by Corbyn for careerist reasons .
She’s the worst possible person to chair the PAC. She has no interest in saving public money. Hackney is probably an epicentre for health tourism . A lot of Africans live there . To Corbynistas and the BMA £2 billion is small change and not worth saving.
Charlatans
“SEE BBC iplayer.for full video evidence of Meg Hillier’s weak arguments – Victoria Derbyshire programme – see from 10.15 am”
Have you checked on iplayer to see if they have edited the material since the program was broadcast? They do that sometimes.
Up until now I have – with great reluctance – continued paying for my TV license as I believe that respect for the rule of law is a basic western value, and I do not want to ‘break’ the law even if never found out.
However, I have now decided to not renew my TV license. I don’t watch much TV but do watch the occasional film and the odd series, and I sometimes put it on as a bit of background noise, and rarely watch iplayer; so it will be an inconvenience to me but not a disaster.
I find now, I can’t continue funding this propaganda outfit dedicated to the destruction of western values and our freedoms with any sort of clear conscience. ‘Progressive’ they call themselves – ‘Progressing towards fascism’ is how I think of it.
So the TV aerial will be disconnected and I will be telling my friends that I choose to no longer fund this subversive organisation. Perhaps I will make up a sticker for my front window :
Fascist BBC no longer supported in this household
manchester,
Some years ago, I cancelled my direct debit to see what would happen. They were on to it like a shot. Serious threats as it I was Beeboid paedo. I re-instated it to avoid hassle. 6 months ago I disposed of my TV and informed the fascists. They wrote to me saying that they would keep my case under review. FFS !!! Wankers !
Grant
According to ‘them’ I am ‘under surveillance’.
ML,
Agreed, but a lot of us have young kids and I’m not that brave.
That’s where the BBC has us by the balls.
It’s the legally backed requirement that is so outrageous.
We don’t pay AA or RAC fees just to drive a car – that would be stupid and this is no different.
I understand your quandary gx, which is where I’ve been for a good few years. I’ve decided that writing to my MP is a complete waste of time as he has no interest in changing anything, thanks very much.
The only way to hurt the BBC is to cut their income. Like all socialists, their main interest is in lining their own pockets – naturally always at someone else’s expense.
I realise that my contribution towards their downfall is pitiful, but it’s the best I can do.
ML,
The TV Tax just wouldn’t pass these days – be like imposing a, Laptop or Tablet tax.
What irritates me is their Government backed monopoly which goes forever unchallenged.
Govt messing around with green subsidies makes an incentive to Spin the bottle
… Germany Man puts same bottle thru machine 177 thousand time to claim €44k
… That’s why the govt should keep out of business as much as possible.
It looks like the Germans are as Politically Correct as the snowflake Police in the UK!
A ‘Man’? they can manage to give his age as 37, but if he is anything like the corner shop owners here then I think we can all gather why they don’t give his name out !
An “enricher” no doubt, but it looks like he was the only one being enriched.
Just a little OT, but if you have the inclination:
One thing I’m finding very enjoyable at the moment is watching recorded US election coverage on YouTube. Most of the larger msm news networks have posted their entire election coverage, so if you search for CBS, CNN, PBS (all the usual regressive msm outlets, in other words) you’ll find a treasure trove of clueless idiots staring an existential event in the face – in real time. What fun!
Best tactic is to watch the first hour or so of over-confident, belligerent ‘Hillary’s-Got-This-In-The-Bag-And-We-Have-Nothing-To-Worry-About’ and then skip ahead another hour as the first results kick off the distant, menacing sounds of drums just below the horizon. Expressions change. Caution enters the room. Skip ahead another hour. Oh dear; reality is making an unscheduled visit to the pre-prepared ‘celebrations’. By the time you’ve skipped ahead to the last couple of hours there is no more pretence: Hillary’s name is dirt and nobody – absolutely nobody – can understand how so many Americans could have voted for ‘the unthinkable’. Oh, and if there are any black panellists you can expect to hear an absolute tsunami of accusations of ‘racism’ against both Trump and the US electorate.
If you have a an hour or two spare of an evening, give this a try. Fantastic fun for all the family! I hope these videos become historic documents, although it’s fairly obvious regressive media types – who made such utter fools of themselves on election night – will have learned nothing from their utter idiocy and sneering disregard for the proles.
The worst offender was actually CBC (Canada – their equivalent of the BBC) – staggering regressive disconnect compounded by outright name-calling, race-baiting and sheer contempt for the American voter.
Hats off to ABC, though – their coverage was generally very funny and quite light-hearted.
AND SO IT GOES ON………….
Just watching the latest daytime drama on Beeb, The Coroner. Surprise surprise one of the characters – a middle aged man for most of the episode called Lee, is revealed to be once called Lisa !!! Apparently transgendered years ago in the Phillipines.
Cant you just picture the storyline conference table of pc idiots under 50 ? Oh, but they did forget to include a black, ethnic min or a disabled, but I’m sure that’ll come in later episodes.
See University Challenge? That boy/girl girl/boy – the camera couldn’t keep off him her. Make up, girl hair, no boobs, man hands. Is this the future?
Brissles, we look forward to the first transgender Asian Muslim – that would really upset BBC’s apple cart!
G,
And it would be funny if it was Nadiya. Transgenders were pretty common in Thailand and Malaysia when I was there about 25 years ago. No-one really bothered much and just accepted it and got on with life.
The people who urge none judgementalism were so quick to judge Trump based on caricature. So very often they don’t lead by example or put into practice what they incessantly preach.
We need to start using the words like ‘traitor’ far more often.
We are called ‘racist’ etc., all too often, which really means, “Shut up, you have no right to speak, your opinions are worthless”.
I find that I am using “quisling” much more than I used to. It is especially useful for the residents of Quislington.

Seems remarkable that of a worldwide audience, it garnered a total 355 comments.
The BBC and twitter. Never a dull moment.
Views their own of course. Via a medium the public funds (if on duty).
If the FBI and the DoJ do their jobs Trump doesn’t need to “persue further investigations”. Of course the “top aid” might have been tipped off that Obama is going to pardon her, in which case she can’t be touched by any investigation.
This could be another story in the category of: “Is that true, or did you hear it on the BBC?”
Hopefully, Barry will explain exactly what it is she didn’t do that she needs pardoning for.
Either way, any plans she has for the 2020 election should be scuppered by the mere mention of her pardon.
GH,
A profile of the avid BBC NEWS and CURRENT AFFAIRS consumer would be interesting?
The Empire is over and foreigners neither need nor want a BBC anymore.
Someone did say a while back that ‘News’ output should be separated from the ‘Entertainment’ output. It would be a start as they could be separately charged.
https://www.marketingweek.com/2016/11/22/moving-images-beyond-stereotypes/?
This topic has been raised on occasion.
Looking at this piece, as the BBC can put it, I anticipate ‘views being split’.
Are those two paedophiles taking that toddler to see their ‘puppies’?
Or have I missed the message?
Is mimicking a foreign accent now racist?
Could be construed as “Cultural Appropriation”, Gaxvil.
I was surprised at the beeb showing UB40 a couple of weeks ago, what were they thinking, Duncan Campbell (Ali’s brother) sounding like a Jamaican!
Surely someone, somewhere should produce a list of things we must not,
say, write, allude to, criticise, paint, build, wear, mimic, joke about or think?
Universities on both sides of the pond are devoting whole departments to this very problem as we speak, G.
Good heavens – where have you been? 🙂
This would count as taking the piss out of the foreigner, strictly verboten (whoops – that’s off to the Gulag I go).
Needless to say, with the typical hypocrisy of the left; mimicking, lampooning, ridiculing or exaggerating any sort of English accent or stereotypical characteristic is not racist at all and fair game!
Sorry, I know miss a lot like, Bake Off and Strictly and wouldn’t know most of todays celeb’s if they fell on me.
Me neither. I only discovered quite recently that Kim Kardashian is not a pop singer. Seriously.
I’m still not sure what she actually does though.
Aha! I can better you here: She is a mega rich woman who had a buttock implant. Her husband is a mega rich pop singer who, today was taken to a psycho ward by Police, following a 40 minute psychotic episode in the middle of his show.
What was her buttock implanted with, Tim Farron’s brain?
Explains a lot. Now I understand.
As I understand it – one cheek Farron’s brain and Clegg’s the other with some a…hole in the centre. thereby achieving the definition of a Liberal Consensus.
Bake Off, Briggs and Mrs Brown: BBC’s festive offerings
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38063762
Just an article about the load of crap the BBC are ‘offering’ us. The title of ‘festive offerings’ is a marked change from ‘Christmas offerings’.
Don’t want to offend any Muslims do we BBC? Doesn’t matter offending everyone else though.
A like-minded colleague told me to take a look at this. It is the Guardian, but deals with one of the BBC’s main obsessions:
As a judge, I can see the racism embedded in the system
What interested me was not the content, which is entirely predictable (Black Lies Matter), but the comments below. Many are critical of the article, and that’s after a huge number of deletions.
However, had to laugh at: “A study headed by David Lammy MP”.
A study by David “Mastermind” Lammy ???
