    BBC Online News:

    “”Eddie Izzard’s homophobic attacker given suspended sentence””

    “”Leaving Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Penny, who has autism, said: “Eddie Izzard is going to burn in hell.”

    “”The 24-year-old, who also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), was sentenced after being found guilty of two counts of using threatening and abusive words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress””

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england

    So, where is the BBC’s ‘mental illness’ defence? They wheel this out to defend acts of evil atrocity committed by Islamic terrorists.

    Or the ‘lone wolf’ defence?

    Or was he self radicalised after reading gay-trangender websites?

    Isn’t it amazing, the BBC 1 news today and Hugh Pym’s report on the ambulance service. Every single patient was white. This is very different from every school that appears on news reports where every pupil is black. But the shortages in the NHS are nothing to do with 2 million extra people in the UK, is it?

      Deborah – I noticed that as well and the bit about the “ageing” population. A couple of years ago I had to spend a week in hospital in the West Midlands following a minor stroke, and I was in a bay of six beds. I didn’t see any “oldies” in there but the other five beds were occupied by people whose first language wasn’t English, shall we say.

        It must be so demoralising for front-line staff in hospitals, who have to deal first with the incompetence of their ‘management’, then have to be put down at every turn by the BBC, as though it’s their fault.

        The arbitrary eight minute ‘target’ for ambulance drivers is clearly dreamed up like the spurious ‘five-a-day’ vegetable scenario, and can only lead to delusion in the ranks of drivers and medics paid a pittance, while their fat cats somewhere safe pretend to ‘manage’.

        The BBC also takes pains to avoid the issue of bed-blocking by overseas families having children at our expense too.

    Well, I learned something tonight. I knew all about the Windrush arrivals from the W.I in the early 50’s, but it was the Black & British prog that enlightened me further.
    It appears (yet again) the Government of the day did another massive cock up. Post war Britain decided to open its doors to members of the Commonwealth to shore up the gaps in the employment programmes. Ha ! apparently the idea was to encourage ‘whites’ from Canada, S Africa, Australia and New Zealand to arrive in great numbers, but not for one second did they imagine it would result in thousands leaving the Caribbean to set up home here. Once the flood had started it was impossible to stop, – just like 60 years later when another inept government had a few too many the night before and thought it was a brilliant idea to let the Eastern Europeans in !! And now we reaped what we have sown.

    I think Boris Johnson is possibly going insane:

    Boris Johnson has called for illegal immigrants to be granted the right to stay in Britain after Brexit, according to reports.

    The Foreign Secretary has suggested that offering amnesty to those who have avoided detection for 10 years would be economically beneficial. …

    Mr Johnson first argued for an amnesty in 2008 and he repeated the politically controversial idea during his time as Mayor of London.

    He raised the issue again during the referendum campaign and argued that offering amnesty would be “the humane thing to do.”

    One senior minister told the Sun: “It’s an insane idea and would make ordinary Brits furious.

    “A lot of us round the table couldn’t believe Boris is still going on about this. Privately, Boris is still the most pro-immigration member of the Cabinet.” …

    A Home Office spokesman said: “We are not looking afresh at an amnesty for illegal migrants, and will not be”.

      I’d be relaxed on this nonsense if I were you. here is a quote from Sky who broke and pedaled the story without troubling themselves to offer any proof:

      “The high-ranking diplomats were speaking under the Chatham House rule, which allows their comments to be reported, but not directly attributed.”

      Just days ago the BBC assured us a high ranking government official wrote a memo in 10 downing street, on 10 Downing Street paper, that said the government didn’t have a clue about Brexit. It was actually written by remainer for Deloitte’s, a company that pockets billions form the EU and campaigns for them.

      Boris could easily have said he didn’t mind doctors coming here and that those who have been illegal for 10 years BUT can prove they are making a financial contribution to the UK might have a case to stay. Who knows as it is all whispers behind hands.

        Why any rational adult would have thought that Mrs May is there to do anything other than the bidding of Goldman Sachs and the EU is insane.

      Modern analysis techiques are so good that ‘seek and you will find’. Back in my A-level days we conducted ‘semi-micro analysis’ on ‘unkown’ substances. We often concluded that the sample contained nickel ‘wrongly’. It was said that this came from the plating on the little strip off metal that we used for picking up the ‘unknown’ powder. Just imagine techniques hundreds of times more sensitive than that and it is no wonder what can be found now.

    As with tonight’s episode of Newsnight’, on the rare occasions when they have a ‘Republican’ guest on the show, that person usually starts by saying ‘I didn’t actually vote for Donald Trump’.
    So the BBC’s idea of balance is to find a Republican who didn’t vote for Trump. Over 60 million voted for Trump so it’s not hard to find one (or are they all ‘deplorable’.

      ”London could seek a deal to enable firms in the capital to continue recruiting staff from the European Union after Brexit”

      This must be because the EU is far more hideously white than London, and therefore the quality of people to recruit is higher in the EU, while the indigenous people of London are fleeing the city due to mass immigration.

      For instance, after the BBC was puzzled about the people of Clacton-on-Sea voting UKIP, I realised that Clacton is full of retired Londoners, who remember London when it was as hideously white as Clacton is today. The only difference is that London has exchanged the material poverty and cultural wealth of yesterday, with the cultural poverty and material wealth of today. At least Clacton is a better place to live than London, even if the pensioners are not as wealthy as the BBC Journalists who visit the town. But then you would find that the richest people employed by the BBC don’t live in multicultural shitholes in London either.

    3.George Osborne’s dire warnings of an immediate emergency budget, tax hikes, soaring interest rates. LIE

    Remoaners keep on about the 350 million pounds a week (180 million pounds net) could be spent on the NHS. Wake up Remoaners, when I last looked we are still currently in the EU so therefore how could the Leave side have lied about this?

    Angela Rayner is one of the most ignorant over-promoted front bench politicians I have heard of. This woman was destroyed by Andrew Neil yesterday for ranting off topic about the need to raise capital gains tax when she did not even know the rate and whether it had gone up or down . Now she’s back on Toady ranting on about how we blame immigrants unfairly regarding housing shortages . Again it was not really relevant to the topic ( school places) but it shows the woman’s abject stupidity. According to her, net migration doesn’t contribute to the housing shortage . We simply don’t build enough houses. I wonder how many millions our population has to go up due to immigration before Rayner thinks it impacts on housing shortages ? I hope the voters of Ashton send her packing in 2020.

    Another day, another hysterical push from BBC news of their favourite combo – notions of child sexual abuse and association football.

    With all the typical fervour of the recently converted, the BBC are set on attacking the FA as an organisation – when they are down – and hopefully, some bigger name clubs than Crewe will be forced into the BBC paedo helicopter searchlight, so as to give the story some real legs.

    Ironically the news line to support today’s rehash (to wit – some impressive sounding statistics that are helpfully provided by an interested charity) comes just after a BBC advertising trailer for a televised FA Cup match.

    Sorry Shelter, just when you had put out your Xmas homeless stats NSPCC and BBC go and trump you.

    All this fuss and paranoia is only likely to result in parents being less keen on their children doing sports.

    Just the other day the BBC seemed to endorse girls taking up boxing.

    I suppose now we will have to import all our future sports people – over to you Mo Farah. Just like we imported our HIV AIDS patient on the BBC Breakfast red sofa this morning.

      On the other hand, we do know from Operation Midland for instance that certain claimed abuse has no basis in evidence whatsoever. So maybe I’m not quite so cynical after all.

      When I heard that, my first thought was that Theresa May as Home Secretary did have one policy I approved of. It is intensely logical and fair that a legal citizen of this country should have priority over someone who entered the country illegally. How can one possibly argue otherwise? Well, it seems Nikki Morgan and D. Cameron did. I rather think that bit of news will cause a lot of people to think better of May – to the chagrin of the BBC. It may not last, however, unless her handling of Brexit (and loose-cannon Johnson) improves.

      … Cos it’s not fair on children actually in Somalia, Zaire, Mongolia etc. either that they don’t get to go to British schools paid for by the British taxpayer.
      If entire families are illegal then the sooner they are on a plane and back home, then the sooner the kids are back in a school of their own culture, paid for by their own taxpayers.

      It’s the same Liberals don’t see that when we use funds to help a queue jumper in Calais, the same funds are no longer available to help a genuine refugee in Africa doing things the proper way.

    But that’s not the only open door immigration news priority. Oh no. . Just twenty minutes earlier on ‘Toady Immigration Special’ (on seemingly everyday) we get another heads up from some remote village in Germany where a family of six immigrants are not all getting on equally well in their new country. Oh dear. How sad. Necer mind.
    Quite why this is actually newsworthy in the UK is totally lost on me, but then again to Al Beeb the actual news is unimportant. Its’s the narrative that counts.

    and hey back again to car pollution. Suggestions include a 20mph limit in some places. Well we have one here about 1/4 of a mile to the main roads. In of our cars 3rd gear is too high 2nd gear 2 low so going uphill you are in second running high revs as opposed to the old 30mph limit were it would pull in 3rd gear at low revs.

    Transgender child: The boy putting his female puberty on hold

    BBC continue their obsession with transgender children. In fact they are obsessed with children and sex mentioned in the same article. Nothing has changed since Savile.

    BBC Breakfast today had a report about apprentices from BAE, the first part had 3 girls and one lad,now I have worked for BAE for many years and the vast majority of apprentices are lads but in news articles they always interview or photograph a girl, this annoys me as it is obvious sex discrimination.
    And having worked in engineering for a long time I know what happens to these girls,90% of them don’t like or can’t do the job,(sometimes because it is physically too hard), they either get sidetracked to an office job,leave for a job in a cake shop or get pregnant and leave.
    They are cheating a young lad out of a trade that he would probably keep for life.

    And then they interviewed the token black woman to round things off.

      Many years ago I worked across the gangway from a female engineer. She would arrive some time mid-morning looking like she’d been dragged through a hedge backwards, sit down, light up her first cigarette, then, when she had woken up a bit, she would get up and make her first coffee of the day. Her behaviour was put down to her having a second job working in a pub in the evenings.
      Just about every week her boss would call her in, to give her due warning.. .. that she should prepare herself for some photo-shoot or press briefing to demonstrate how ‘female friendly’ we were. Meanwhile the rest of us got on with the job.

    Just heard a ‘news’ report on Radio 2 moaning about the lack of BAME talent in the entertainment industry. Apparently, due to the large number of shows with a predominant or 100% BAME cast we now have a supply problem with some shows having to be postponed. The finger is firmly pointed at the talent academies admissions policy, and the suggestion is a racist one.

    Oh, hang on a minute. I’m willing to bet that talent academies already have a ratio of BAME students far higher than the national average. We have come to the point that as we are being brainwashed into accepting employment practices that discriminate in favour of BAME employees, it’s now a problem if colleges don’t adapt the same discrimination policies.

        This is a case of the strange unconscious racism of white liberals. They assume that because they live comfortable middle class lives where people can afford to become actors or other arty types full time, that everyone else can.

        What they don’t realise is the people from immigrant stock generally want to get on in life – they didn’t come to Britain to ponce about on stage, but to make a better life for themselves and provide for their families. Nobody asks why there aren’t more ethnics becoming doctors or pharmacists, for example. They don’t need to because that is the type of job immigrants aim for, not playing bloody Othello in Glasgow Citizens’.

          Another reason might be that they never produced a Shakespeare of their own. Some of our artists might be a royal pain (I’m tired of hearing the word “luvvie”) but the culture they represent is far superior, IMO, than anything to be found in Brixton, Tower Hamlets, Rotherham, Bradford etc.

          Not all immigrants aim to become doctors or pharmacists, or even close, as the prison population demonstrates.

        The general rule seems to be that ‘colourblind’ casting is used if no allusion is made to race in the script, eg you can have a black man playing Richard II, but if race is a part of the script, eg in ‘Othello’ it must be a real black man playing Othello not a white man playing a black man, as that would be ‘cultural appropriation’ or something.

        To be fair the directors do seem to realise that having lots of blacks and asians in 1920s Britain is a bit unlikely…though they still do appear from time to time. Benjamin Zephania got a shoe-in in ‘Peaky Blinders’ (Birmingham, 1919) as a sort of crazy preacher, which was just about feasible, though the waist-length dreadlocks with a homburg hat was a bit far fetched.

    The apostles of identity liberalism have fallen into Mill’s trap. They see authoritarianism in others, but not in themselves. They see discrimination in others, but not their own. In guarding their chosen tribes, they fail democracy’s ultimate test, of tolerance for the concerns of those with whom they disagree. Someone else is always to blame.

During the time when a superficial ‘permissive society’ prevailed (and while its underbelly was giving birth to loathsome creaures such as Jimmy Saville) her ‘old-fashioned’ values became an easy target for what we now term the ‘liberal left’.

      The sexualisation of children in the UK is a big problem, let alone paedophilia. Thank God my adopted, black African 8-year old daughter is at school in Gambia and not the UK. No transgender brain-washing there and , as a bonus, they teach the children to read, write and do arithmatic.

      A few years ago I sat in on a history lesson for 10-year olds, roughly. The subject was the influence of the Romans on Britain and the english language. The teacher, black Gambian, superb. About 50 children in the class all well-behaved and attentive.

    Quango says road pollution is bad
    Stigma of HIV sufferers
    Prison doesn’t work for violent gang members
    Black people can’t get a break in hideously white theatre world

    It was like a royal flush of the BBC’s favourite busybody causes. I don’t recall hearing much in the way of dissenting voices either. All through it I’m thinking bad thoughts such as..

    ‘I’m not interested’, ‘Don’t believe it’, ‘Go away!’, ‘Why am I hearing this?’ ‘It’s their own fault’ etc etc.

    Most of it was just your typical ‘Researchers have found..’ crap dressed up as news. You could picture Justin Webb personified as Hyacinth Bouquet peering through the net curtains, looking for suspicious alt-righters sullying the neighbourhood.

      True – much of the BBC’s much vaunted ‘news’ seems to consist of ‘A survey reveals…’ ‘A new report shows…’ ‘A study claims…’ etc, issued by a political think tank, pressure group or NGO with a particular agenda. This would not be so bad if reporters probed the claims made, but often they don’t, and just seem to accept what they’re given as read. I’m often left saying to the radio ‘…but what about…?’

      That ‘…but what about…?’ question is what impartial journalists should be asking, and it’s the difference between journalism and simply regurgitating press releases.

        That’s much as I saw it too Jim, only without the lesbian twist, amazing what you can see if you don’t approach a subject matter through a thick haze of bias and a preconceived agenda isn’t it? Much like McCarthy checking under the bed for commies I bet Meierhans et al. can’t turn in until they’ve had a look for mysogyny and sexism under their own.

    Beef fat in bank notes.
    Best to stick to credit cards to avoid contamination.
    Credit cards created in clean rooms uncontaminated by living organisms.
    Credit cards despatched in totally sealed sterile packaging, not contaminated by contact with living organisms.
    To be used exactly once in sterile surroundings with all new equipment.
    Transactions to consist of 100% non-organic material, irradiated for nine hours at twenty-one pseudoveggies per sterilearadian in a vacuum.

    Vacuum, sterility, uncontaminated by contact with sentient beings, yes that sounds like
    VeganSpeak or MegaVeggieBollox as it is alternatively known.

      I can’t understand why the vegans are so horrified about the content of bank notes. I assume that they started eating the fivers when veganism made them so hungry for real food they just ate the first thing they could find. Of course, once tasting these delectable notes they couldn’t stop themselves until full – after all, anything’s better than tofu! They then had to check why they tasted so good and made this “terrible” discovery so they’ll be beefing about it for a long time now. They ought to relax and have a cow, man.

    Net migration 335, 000 in the year to June. Of course these statistics are dodgy , based on estimates and reliant on interviews at major ports and airports . Plus all illegals not included of course. Plus all allegedly on a ‘short stay ‘ not included .
    Expect the BBC
    To gloat over the Governments failure to bring down numbers never mind miss it’s ludicrously impossible target of under 100k
    To show us what useful jobs these immigrants do. Lots of library shots of NHS nurses and cleaners
    To infer that all who dispair at these figures and the governments lies and incompetence are racists

        All very depressing. On the one hand its all ‘free movement’ and then we are told over a quarter of a million landed here up to June (so what’s the figure from June to now ?). There’s not much reporting of ‘free movement’ around the rest of the EU is there ? er no, because Europe is arriving on our bloody doorstep. More wanting housing, more using cars on the road, more wanting access to FREE NHS, more wanting their kids in school. The British people (sod the media) will soon be on the streets rioting and chanting Send the Bastards home, this country is full.

    – A US cop was found as justified in shooting a black man after CCTV shown that the victim was armed , despite his family denying that.

    – the money losing Guardian is to get a £62m top up by sells some share in Ascential Events.

    – London to get hydrogen bus next year – The Times editorial calls again for tax breaks for EVs etc.
    It seems highly likely the Times is linked to EV subsidy mafia.

    Today is Presidential election day in Gambia. Who cares ? Well I do. To be fair to the BBC, and that sticks in my throat, they report on their website that the evil bastard ( my words, not theirs ) Jammeh has cut all internet and telephone connections with the outside world. I can testify to that today. I can’t get through to anyone in Gambia.

    It is a difficult one for the BBC as they love dictators especially black African ones. The last I heard , yesterday, thousands were on the streets. I hope it does not end in a blood bath and that the BBC will follow this story. Freedom for Gambia ! Foroyaa !

        imay,

        Thank you so much. I am in Scotland right now. My family and friends in Gambia are safe. About 26 opposition people are in prison or disappeared, this year. Jammeh never releases dead bodies to the families. Just part of his perversion.

        Jammeh’s military and “security ” people will be his achilles heel. But, this does not have much to do with BBC bias. I have to say that , over the years, the BBC has reported about Gambia pretty fairly. I wish the BBC would report on all countries the same way .

    A couple of months ago, a poster offered a list of politicians and commentators who had their heads screwed on. It was more or less politically ecumenical, so Labour MPs such as Frank Field and Kate Hoey were mentioned. As was Michael Gove. And Gove is favourably mentioned up-thread in the context of Boris Johnson’s abiding fondness for immigration amnesties.

    Well, possibly. Readers might also like to consider the following, MG’s first speech from the backbenches after Theresa May formed her first cabinet. From the Hansard of 18 July this year, it’s his contribution to the debate on the attack in Nice:

    May I welcome my right hon. Friend to her new position [i.e., Amber Rudd] and thank her for her measured, assured and authoritative statement? Does she agree that both the previous Prime Minister and our new Prime Minister have always made it clear that there is a distinction between the ideology of Islamist extremism, which animates organisations such as Daesh and is driven by prejudice and hate, and the great religion of Islam, a religion of peace that brings spiritual nourishment to millions? Is it not vital in the days ahead that while we focus on countering extremism, we also underline the benefits that the faith of Islam has brought to so many?

    Record immigration figures announced so BBC and Sky interview pro-immigration experts including Saira Grant of the Immigrants Joint Council who wants more immigrants and says, at length, repeating herself, that immigrants here are dreadfully treated.
    The Sky interviewer got one pathetic riposte in after 7 minutes.
    Just surprised ‘migration’ expert Jonathan Portes missed out on an interview.
    He was probably embarrassed given his ‘predictions’ last year, that Romanians get to top the EU list now with 50,000 arrivals – putting Poles into 2nd place.
    Ms Grant says this is because so many Poles are fleeing the UK!
    Andrew Neil drilling down an inch into the figures writes that:
    “Of 650,000 who migrated here year to June:
    176k to a job
    127k looking for work
    89k accompanying others
    164k to study
    86K other or no reason”.
    We now need another 150,000 homes at two per dwelling average.

    Muslims voluntarily come to the West where they suffer ‘Islamophobia’ – which here amounts to name calling and the odd slice of dry cured middle. The media, numerous agencies and institutions wet themselves to indulge Muslims. Are they grateful for refuge in a civil society with all it’s benefits? – I’m afraid not. They just want our resources and us to ‘disappear’ so they can turn Britain into a green and leafy cess pit.
    Switch now to Muslim lands – bombs, bullets, death, death and death but that’s called, ‘sectarianism’ because the ones practising ‘Islamoislamophobia’ (my new word) are the ‘other kind’ of Muslims.

    Guido is running a story about an eye witness account of people celebrating and cheering during the 9/11 attacks in Ken Livingston’s office. Wonder if there were at least a few smiles in the BBC offices on that dark day?

    Mary beard, the BBC’s deranged, far left, history presenter once said about 9/11(this is the exact quote), “However tactfully you dress it up, the United States had it coming. That is, of course, what many people openly or privately think.”

    She did clarify her comment later on when some thoughtless non BBC types gasped. She spoke of how: Her argument was far from a vicious gloat, she has claimed, and she merely wanted to point out that bullies “even if their heart is in the right place, will in the end pay the price”.

    Nasty little woman.
