Laura Kuenssberg ably demonstrates the arrogant mindset, negativity and contempt for Trump that the BBC is famous for as she asks the crassest and most out of place question possible claiming that she speaks for Britain telling Trump that Britain is alarmed by some of his beliefs…#notinmyname. The BBC does not speak for Britain on so many major issues which is precisely why Brexit happened…..the arrogance, corruption and contempt of the so-called elite for the great unwashed.
I posted this from Janet Daley earlier but I think it is worth posting again in light of Kuenssberg’s faux pas…
The BBC foists on us a skewed version of reality
The news media are engaged in a political argument about whether the purpose of journalism is to report the world as it is or to purvey an idealised view
So this is where the bigger question comes in: what is the dissemination of news for? For the BBC – by which I mean, for those who decide these things at the corporation – there is little doubt that the function of news broadcasting is to enlighten the public. I use that word advisedly, in its specialised sense, meaning not simply to inform but to “free from prejudice and superstition”.
BBC news output is specifically designed to counter what it sees as ignorance and popular prejudices. Its coverage of issues in which it believes such prejudices to be rife – immigration, for example – is intended to be instructional and, specifically corrective of what its managers think of, and describe openly in conversation, as the influence of the “Right-wing press”.
The unabashed dissemination of this highly political official viewpoint is justified on the grounds that it is needed to balance the influence of scurrilous newspapers.
Now’s your chance to make your own voices heard…another open thread…all yours….
Its honestly refreshing to see a politician deliver almost immediately what he promised in his election mandate. We have been ‘promised’ for decades the reduction of immigration without so much as a sniff, with excuses for not doing so ranging from staffing problems to the legal implications. With the stroke of a pen and within a week of taking office, Trump has ‘delivered’ – no farting about or waiting for the niceties to be discussed, he has taken control to protect his country. How the ‘man in the street’ (and I’m not talking e/m’s here) would love that to happen here. We can only hope that this gives the impetus for those voting in the elections across Europe this year, to see that they too have the power to stop the hordes of refugees entering via the Mediterranean – although a wall would be a tad difficult !

We can now look forward to a dramatic increase of the 2016 figures as those targeting the US to Islamicise, re-adjust their sights to focus on Europe because that is well underway.

Surely, it puts Trump at odds with the UN and Soros and their desire to flood the developed world with third worlders? Make no bones about it, the vast majority of the US population voted for this.
For me, I’m glad that Treezer’s condemnation of the very welcome Trump policy related to so-called, “Refugees” and Muslims is more than adumbration of the Government’s position in signalling, ‘Third-World, you are welcome here’, Merkel style. Clearly she will not follow the mantra of the failed ex-PM, Cameron, when he forecast reducing immigration to the ‘tens of thousands’. In declining to follow Cameron’s lead, she is demonstrating her absolute support for the UN Refugee policy to flood Europe with third worlders to once-and-for-all alter the cultural balance of the European states and the UK. Can anyone genuinely visualise an end to the, roughly, 330,000 third worlders entering the UK annually?

We are being lectured today by the likes of Paddy Pantsdown and Jezza Corbyn as to why Trump’s state visit should be cancelled. I’ve also heard from wee Timmy Farron instructing us on why we should stay in the EU and continue to have open borders.
Do these people still not understand? Nobody, other than the liberal media, gives a rat’s arse for your opinions. The Lib-Dems are an irrelevance and Jezza’s Labour Party is a rapidly diminishing bad joke.
Labour are the rusty old steam engine in an age of electricity. We don’t need you to constantly vent your spleen about Mr Trump and Brexit. It really is like a bunch of fleas instructing the dog they’re living on as to which lamppost he visits.
And now on “Peston” there’s the mega smug, Chukka (if I was made of chocolate I’d eat myself) Umunna.

Good question. The rules are very tough,in theory, and I should know as my Gambian wife and I gave up, thank goodness. But Mo’s father was born in UK and is a British Subject and Mo came here when he was about 8 , so probably ok. But they are continually changing the rules.

According to a poll shown by Sophie Ridge interviewing the ridiculous Tiny Tim Farron, those saying that the Brexit vote was the right decision is still 52%, whereas those thinking it a bad idea has dropped to 39% with 9% don’t knows. If they were split pro-rata then the Yes would jump to 57-58%.
Timmy ridiculously claimed that it was still the same and only a tiny margin in favour (a near dead-heat or something he claimed). Sophie did her best but it is really difficult to argue against plain stupidity.

There can be no doubt we’re now entering a vital phase. The main question is whether American public opinion gets behind Trump on this – you’d hope it would, given this is something he said he would do, but the MSM will fight tooth and nail to sway opinion.

Oh dear President Trump has tried to stop any potential Muslim terrorists from entering the USA. In the process some innocent people are going to suffer. But this was inevitable as was the apoplectic reaction of the BBC et al. My view is that regrettably in war innocent people get hurt. President Trump believes if any and all Muslims are allowed into the USA then Americans will be killed. I suppose that in the final analysis the liberal left believe that American lives don’t count for as much as The hurt feelings and disadvantaging of Muslims. President Trump thinks the opposite.

Never saw THIS amount of squauking when Operation Stack on the M25 rather inconvenienced a few “vulnerable travellers” as they tried to get to Europe in summer 2015.
Let alone the Terminal 5, Eurostar, B.A, Gatwick, Southern and Gatwick Express strikes and kerfuffles that similarly stranded “vets”, “British passport holders” etc.
Same problem-will be sorted. International travel has long been a bugger since 9/11.
So why the fuss?
Because Trump has his finger on the problem-unfettered waving through of all manner of people, unchecked and maybe well including tomorrows Bostons, Floridas , Chattannoogas,Fort Hood etc-Islaimc State said they`d be doing this.
Just because Europe welcomes rapists and druggies, bad lorry drivers and Islam-doesn`t mean that the USA needs to.
Let Germany and Canada take them-they seem to want them all.
I sense Madonna and her pals would rather like an IS “refugee” to sneak in to do to Trump what they themselves have said they`d like-but don`t have the guts to do it themselves, but maybe they could do a drama doc afterwards.#

Lots of BBC bias and lies by omission over the so called ‘Muslim ban’ which is not a Muslim ban at all.
Not mentioned
It is a temporary ban, and not a permanent one as is being suggested, it will only remain in place until a more effective vetting procedure is put in place.
There was not a ‘legal victory’ last night, it only applies to those already in the US with valid visas. Nothing else is affected.
It is not a ban on Muslims, but a ban on nationals of any religion travelling from the designated countries.
Meanwhile the UK and others allows in returning Jihadists and any number of so called ‘hate preachers’ without any kind of hindrance at all.
It was clearly stated in his election speeches and it should be no surprise that he has enacted what he promised. This is democracy in action and the Fascist left do not like democracy when their opponents are elected.

It nust be astonishing for a lying creep like Khan who, within weeks of taking office as mayor of Londonistan, started to break the promises that got him elected, to see a politician (Trump) who actually does what he said he would.

I’ve no doubt Khan promised himself that he would fuck up London, and it wasn’t long before he got to work…

Yes, I too am enjoying the media hysteria, histrionics and hyperventilation. If Trump continues to deliver at this pace, the usual suspects will have burst all their aneurisms, have RSI in their finger-wagging fingers and snapped their vocal chords with their incoherent, high-pitched, selfrighteous squawkings

Apologies if this has already been covered but I have just seen an article in Friday’s Guardian stating the numbers of UK citizens living/working in the EU. Across the whole of the EU there are less UK citizens than just the Polish community in the UK, just under the million mark. This is weird because I recall Nick Clegg, the BBBC preferred truth sayer, telling us there were over 3 million brits living in Europe and implying they were virtually all working, seems he was out by a factor of 5 ! The 3 million figure is EU citizens in the UK.
Did the BBBC reveal these alternative facts ?

As I listen now to Andrew Neil fluttering around pointless Tory sandbags in London-I do wonder about the mental state of the idiot left and the fatuous liberals.

Listen up you third-rate Turdis.
Mays job is to govern for the nation-to speak for those of us who voted the leave the EU.
Her job is not to wring the bedsheets out and find dummies and comfort rags for the idiot left at the BBC/Guardian. They hate her anyway.
Let the BBC wet themselves and howl-the Tories will wipe the floor with the stiffies at the BBC in 2020 if not before.
To hear Andrew Neil playing devils sock puppet only shows he`s a bit of a twit at times.

Thanks for posting the clip. Again, Nigel Farage proves his agility under questioning and his general competence. He is correct that a main purpose of UKIP is to help ensure the deliverance of Brexit. After that, there will be a continuing role, for we are beginning to see arch-Remainer MPs mooting the possibility of rejoining the EU. Personally, I think this is unlikely, but with a coalition of the present-day equivalent of Labour + Liberal + Scots Nats + Grieve-Clarke type Tories, who knows what might happen? Of course, such a reversion was envisaged years ago by Richard North – hence his Harrogate Agenda.

Farage is pure class. He is a galatic giant among desperate amoebas, who are so crippled with fear of saying the ‘wrong’ thing, they utterly capitulate. Nearly every other political figure in the UK is utterly detached from the people that put them there, are in it for themselves, and will do whatever it takes to stay in power.
Currently in the UK, the media hold the power to make or brake a political career, and by god they have tried everything to ruin Nigel Farage. Nigel utterly believed in his mission of pulling the UK out of the EU, because he knew that the EU was not for the ordinary man. Mass immigration is not for the ordinary man. Gender delusion and enforcement is not for the ordinary man. The complete social destruction and replacement with a cult like doctrine of hate, intolerance, identity labels, and division, is not for the ordinary man.
The control of the media, the message, what was being said and by who, was the only way the cult of hate could get away with their evil project, and suppress all resistance. What Nigel Farage started was the fight back. Here is a man that was politically ruined, laughed at, slandered daily, ostracized, and prevented at every opportunity from being given even a fair crack at getting his message to the people of the UK…..yet in spite of all that, he still managed to see his dream become a reality, because the working men and women of this country think like he does.
Nigel Farage knew that the people of this country were being lied to and abused by a self serving, traitorous elite who are only interested in protecting and advancing themselves. This very same elite are now desperately do everything they can to change what happened, because its ALL about what’s best for them, the last thing these traitors will ever want to do is what is best for us. Farage knows this. Trump knows this. The new age Gestapo that masquerade as the MSM know this, which is why they are at constant war with both of them.
The MSM said we wouldnt leave the EU…that was a lie. They said that Trump would never win…That was a lie too. They say that Le Pen and Wilders are going to fail, but Trump and Brexit has shown the people of the world that the lying bastards in the media are not going to help you, they will deceive, mislead and do everything they can to manipulate the public into doing what the elite want…….the world painted by the MSM is nothing but a bullshit fantasy world, which is starting to fall apart before their traitorous eyes!

I always get the sense that Andrew Neil secretly agrees with a lot of what Farage says.
I was convinced after the interview he did with him in the run up to the referendum, that he was a Leaver. I generally have a good opinion of A.N. the only occasion when he really blotted his copy book (IMHO) was when he interviewed Tommy Robinson and gave out his real name on air – that was appalling and you could see the disbelief in Tommy’s face that he’d done so.

http://newobserveronline.com/1-234-million-invaders-landed-europe-2016/
1.234 Million Invaders Landed in Europe in 2016
A grand total of 1,234,558 Third World invaders landed in Europe during 2016, falsely claiming to be asylum seekers, according to the latest figures from the European Union’s “European Asylum Support Office” (EASO).
According to the latest EASO report “Latest asylum trends—December 2016,” a total of 64,513 invaders demanded “asylum” in all of the “EU+” nations in December 2016 alone.
The “EU+” nations are all 28 European Union member states plus Norway and Switzerland.
Some 4 per cent of all the December invaders claimed to be unaccompanied minors (UAMs) when lodging their “asylum” applications, all hoping to be granted special permission to stay, along with increased benefits and quicker processing.
At least 18 per cent of all UAM applicants claimed to be Afghans, while 13 per cent claimed to be Eritreans, and 8 per cent claimed to be Pakistanis.
In December 2016, EU+ countries recorded 9,661 “asylum” applications from invaders claiming to be Syrians, and 5,341 claimed to be Afghans.
4,432 claimed to be Iraqis, and these three nationalities together accounted for only 30 per cent of all applications lodged in the EU+.
Invaders from Nigeria made up the next largest number in December, with 4,210 applicants, with Eritreans (3,475), Pakistanis (2,688), Albanians (2,473), Iranians (1,769), Guineans (1,555), and “Russians” (1,548) making up the rest of the top ten invader list.
The “Russians” were once again mostly from the deep south of that country, where a large mixed-race population exists. Other nations which provided “refugees” from that region included Georgia and Armenia.
Other African invaders came from Sudan, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Mali, Gambia, Senegal, Morocco, and Algeria, the EASO report revealed.
The EASO report also revealed that the “recognition rate” for invaders claiming “asylum” reached 52 per cent in December.
“Positive decisions”—that is, those granted full “refugee status” were 53 per cent of that total, and 47 per cent were granted “subsidiary protection”—which means a renewable residence permit of at least two years.
“Subsidiary protection” in effect means permanent residence because recipients have the right to endless renewals, and then full citizenship after five years of residence.
In December, those invaders claiming to be Syrians constituted only 15 per cent of all applications, proving once again that the “refugee” hoax is mostly being used by non-whites as an excuse to invade Europe to take advantage of European liberal delusions about asylum.
In fact, none of the nationalities in question actually qualify for asylum at all in terms of well-established international conventions.
A genuine refugee should be someone who is fleeing his homeland in fear of his life, and even Syrians do not have to flee their country, because the majority of that country is under government control and is peaceful.
The same situation applies in Iraq and Eritrea, the two other most commonly claimed “nations at war,” and there is therefore no reason for those nationals to flee their countries either.
Furthermore, none of the other nationalities listed as making up the Third World invasion force has any good reason to “flee” either.
These facts reveal the whole “asylum” racket to be a swindle and an excuse used by scrounging Third Worlders to live off liberal European welfare handouts.

Evening all.
Been away this weekend. No tv, radio, phone or internet.
So caught the news later than most and out of the context created by the left liberals.
So I heard cold that Trump has banned travel from 7 countries for which the words ‘basket case’ could have been invented. And I thought “decent shout” and ‘it’s his decision, not much to do with us’.
Only later did I comprehend the utterly ridiculous hysterical outrage from the BBC, as if they had been just dying to be able to report for such ‘news’.
Jezza of course jumps stright on the righteous indignation bandwagon, but in truth he would want to ban Trump for…..well, breathing, probably, so this excuse is as good as any.
Quite useful to be away and then, like the little boy in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, see the bBBC anew for the biased, narrative driven, agenda driven, deeply unpatriotic, left wing apologists they really are.

In a more light hearted veign. I know we indigenous Brits are supposed to support the opposition whenever we are in a sporting event. But I UNLIKE the BBC just cant help hoping England may win, SORRY BBC ! A certain umpire by the appropriate name of SHAMSshddin and
an Indian bowler by the appropiate name of BUMrah gave England a real bum deal at the
end of the match.The BBC has been singing the praises of Mr Bumrah but if Joe Root hadn’t
been giving a sham decision by the appropriately named umpire England might of well won.
I know that the BBC would of gone into mourning. But I reiterate I wouldn’t have. By the way if you have an Israeli stamp on your passport you are NOT allowed to enter a dozen or so Islamic countries!! BUT you wont ever hear the BBC mentioning that!!

The BBC had attacked the new POTUS with a accelerating stream of libtard invective and bile all through election campaign, but during and since the inauguration they have collectively gone mental. For many of us, perhaps the 52% majority, this provides huge unintended entertainment at their impotent anguish and misery. It seems to cement a bond with the victorious deplorables – the Trump supporters in the US who are already ecstatic at the pace of his first weeks work, in triumph over the likes of the deeply biased BBC.
The BBC are so arrogant and self-righteous they sincerely believe they speak for the majority of us. They don’t.

Radio 4’s Feedback continues on its journey from bad to worse.
We have a little debate as to whether the BBC should be listening to other people or not, a tiny glimmer of hope there as it is starting to sink in that perhaps when one gets everything wrong maybe the fault lies with oneself not everyone else?
Then we have a listener praising The Corrupted, but should fiction be mixed with reality? Our listener is OK with that and so is the BBC, they do have a sophisticated audience who will quite easily work out that implying that Margaret Thatcher worked with criminals and that the leading council and judges of the time were all bent is ‘just fiction’. And if a few plebs come to the wrong conclusion where is the harm? Wouldn’t want to be spreading ‘fake’ stuff would we?
A listener makes a fair point that perhaps there is too much ‘Trump’. Does she get to justify her point? Is there a counter argument? No, it becomes a joke item with lots of ‘trump’ words and Nellie The Elephant, so original Roger, where do we get the talent from?
Last week we were told that live night-time Radio 2 was for the chop, what is the alternative? Well the juvenile, sub-hospital Radio 5 Live! Rhod Sharp gets to tell us how he has a duty to tell us how billions of US citizens are ‘trumped-off’, as if we don’t get told that often enough in the daytime, and Dire Dotun gets to tell us that he has worked for the BBC since he wer a lad, is it becus u iz black Dotun?

I am presently listening to Clare Teal on BBC Radio 2 and she is playing jazz and swing music.
I am horrified that just before the 10 o’clock news, Clare Teal had the absolute temerity to play an obvious neo-colonial piece of music called “Tequila”!
This is so obviously a cultural appropriation piece of music that I would ask all Mexicans on Twitter and their supporters on F***book to immediately condemn this colonialism on the part of the BBC.
(I haven’t got a Tw*tter account myself so I cannot set the ball rolling though it is so obvious that the Clare person should be shamed on Tw*tter and F***book for her anti-Mexican cultural appropriations. There should be a big wall built right around the BBC (and Clare Teal!) to stop this ever happening again!

Just have a read of these amazing statistics from the Guardian, and the destruction wrought upon the country under Labour:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/datablog/2013/apr/08/britain-changed-margaret-thatcher-charts
It’s titled how Britain changed under Margaret Thatcher, but far from the usual Fascist cries that she reined in spending and destroyed industry, the facts tell a different story.
Industry declined as you might expect at a faster rate under Labour than Mrs Thatcher.
“In 1970, manufacturing accounted for 20.57% of UK GDP. By 1979 that was down to 17.62% of GDP. By the time she left office, that decline had continued – albeit at a slightly slower pace, down to 15.18%. Now it is much lower, according to the ONS – down to 9.68% in 2010.”
In other words industrial decline was at its fastest under Callaghan & Blair.
Spending went down Under Fatcher.
“In fact if you look at spending as a percentage of GDP it actually rose in her first years of power, going down during the 1980s before rising in the early 1990s under John Major and chancellor Kenneth Clarke. Her reign actually ended with more of the workforce employed in the public sector than now – 23.1% as opposed to around 20% now.”
Migration was a lot lower – Alas it was figures we can only dream of:
“During the first years of Thatcher’s reign, fewer people came to live in the UK – acceptances for settlement went down from 69,670 in 1979 to 53,200 by the time she resigned in 1990.”
(remember these are immigrants coming, not net migration figures as used to hide the numbers today).
“By the 2001 census, four years after the end of the Conservatives in power, the UK’s population was 92.1% white. According to the latest ONS estimates, that figure has gone down now as Britain becomes more diverse; 83.35% of England and Wales is now defined as “white British”.”
Mrs Thatcher was desperately unlucky as the world economy was hit by two recessions:
“Britain got hit by two major recessions under Thatcher, which sandwiched the boom of the 1980s but even that boom never saw GDP grow by more than a couple of percent. Obviously in 2013, George Osborne would kill for growth of 2.2%.”
This page is worth a read because the image the Fascists are creating is simply not correct and the figures bear out the world as we remember it – glory days and a revival of confidence & national pride before BLiar trashed it all!

For all we know people might be thinking that she was forced into making a statement which was extremely tardy, and secretly does support Trump but cannot say it.
Rock and a hard place might well be their thoughts – but without polling we will not know.
In addition the Tories are not properly engaged in Stoke as they fancy their chances further North in the Sellafield area where Labour are making a right ‘Albert Halls’ of their election chances.

The “people” in our MSM and our politics and government who are attacking Trump now he is elected, for doing what he promised to do if he were to be elected regarding Muslims entering the United States; would do well to consider what the results of a referendum (were one ever to be held) here in the U.K. asking whether its people wanted immigration to stop; not even solely Muslim immigration – they would never ask us that question, for they know full well what the answer would be.
I just pray that May doesn’t do anything stupid like withdrawing the state visit offer made to President Trump, for that could be very bad for us and any forthcoming trade negotiations with the U.S.
