    Potential threats .

    From people who may or not be murderous from 7 countries which , shall we say are not normal .

    Or people who are armed within your own nation , some of whom , % small , are not normal .

    If you want to extinguish the latter , you should definitely extinguish the former .

    A rancid piece here from the BBCs print arm,
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/12/dunkirk-child-refugees-risk-sexual-violence
    Horrific crimes taking place in Dunkirk’s refugee camp,
    “Children and women are being raped by traffickers”
    “children and women are forced to have sex by traffickers in return for blankets…”
    Just traffickers then? An ex NGO worker hints at something different taking place a little further into the article,
    “You see women in a male environment with men that are disconnected from reality, so there are serious incidents such as rape. ”
    ” disconnected from reality” Is she offering a defence for them?
    There probably are very serious crimes being committed against women and children in the camp, however, blaming only traffickers does leave one open to a charge of fake news.This does look a little like an attempt to skirt around the truth in order to protect the narrative.
    I expect the Guardian would have us believe that Sweden’s large influx of migrants were almost exclusively traffickers. Cologne New Year? Traffickers.

      Os,
      On BBC’s ‘Sunday’, Bishops are outraged that the Government has halted the influx of so-called, “child refugees” whilst claiming that they, inter alia, are being sexually abused in Calais. Question: is it because the Bishops long for the exclusive right of the clergy to sexually abuse and they are being deprived of that ambition?

    “I’m not suggesting the BAFTAs are racist”

    Often times guesting on BBC and Sky, the left-leaning Metro freebie newspaper’s movie critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh (nice exotic name) sort of is actually accusing BAFTA of racism… “Denzel Washington has never won a BAFTA, what’s that about?”

    If the Oxbridge liberal arts elite will insist on tying themselves up in knots over race in this way then I’m afraid unless an ethnic person ‘wins’ every category of every award then, on their terms, there will still be room for implied racism.

    But don’t worry too much. Our approved BBC guest and guide to the BAFTAs Larushka (who apperas to be as white a sheet) assures concerned viewers there will be plenty of ‘diversity’. I’m imagining that every time that word is uttered in a BBC studio someone gets to ring the big bell in the BBC boardroom.

    I’m sure there will be lashings of diversity – if by diversity you mean complete uniform unanimous agreement that conservatism in general and President Trump in particular are terrible things and overpaid overwrought luvvies are just the right tribunes of the people to make the point.

    Oh by the way our Larushka has done her bit, she has ‘served on the board of’ the Urban Film Festival. By the way, just incase you’re a bit slow with the lingo ‘Diversity’ and ‘Urban’ are codewords for Black. I know, all this endless boring talk of race, it’s all sounding a bit racist. Don’t you just wish they would make some good movies!

      These BAFTA things are about one tiny group of the community getting excited about itself.

      Their activities are hyped by the media, another tiny part of the community, trying to make it seem important.

      It isn’t important at all. I’d rather attend the Annual Dinner of the Order of Real Bearded Santas, it would be much more fun.

    This headline (BBC News 24) is currently scrolling across the bottom of my telly word for word. I’m typing exacly:

    “North Korea has fired a ballistic missile into The Sea of Japan. The first such test since Donald Trump took office.”

    What exactly is the second sentence doing in this report? I think we can all see this is a leading headline. Another false accusation. “The world is a more unstable place and it’s Trump’s doing.” The BBC is just EVIL.
    (And I notice yet again their stubborn omission of the Man’s title. PRESIDENT.)

    I’m going to go with my own thoughts. The world is a more unstable place & it’s the BBC’s doing.

    A young muslim is speaking on the Big Question – he is married and now looking to have another wife because he wants a large family, thus believing in Polygamy – hence the discussion. Why are we even condoning this ? anyone else gets charged with bigamy. So in essence he just has one wife in UK law, but he believes religiously its ok to breed and enjoy sex with other women !

    BBC 1 – The Big Questions.
    Topical debate from (surprise, surprise, eicester. BBC wants to talk Israel
    Should … the UK trade with Israel now settlements are recognised
    Should? that’s very racist isn t it BBC?
    1st point, talk about the housing situation then … ala apartheid, concentration camp, oppression, take away Palestinians land, illegal state etc
    … when were the erm “Palestinian” invented? no one asks, illegal state?.

    Why social care is in crisis? how should it be paid for?
    On to social care, the abhorrent cost of privatisation/marketisation? no one asks no mention of the defunding process, no mention of the deliberate running down/failure by design
    Spent nearly £10 billion on the “internal” market, these needless reforms which benefit no one but commercial interests,(and probably politicians who have vested interests or will serve on boards in the future).

    The IEA turn up waffling about “care” 😀 that nauseating snake Kate Andrews … the same IEA from the large event at the Tory Party Conference with J Hunt which
    discussed the future of the NHS: under the misleading moniker “putting patients first” interesting, because the IEA thinks the NHS should be abolished. But don’t take my word for it. The IEA has openly published articles on its website describing how to do it: Hunts laughable erm lecture in the US titled “putting patients first”
    and “care in the community” Oh come on please any merger is simply code for service removal, and department closure.
    … This narrative put out by mackinzies to cover privatization, they did this scam in 80s and got rid of mental hospitals, sold off of loads of the sites, and all of the revenues? Where did they go?

    Our public service broadcaster has once again avoided factually scrutinising health reforms and instead simply regurgitates government spin, peddles myths and even presents pro-privatisation think tanks as if they were independent.

    World Service – Doing it’s best but the stress of performing the same script day after day, after week, after month is beginning to show.
    We have a defence by Katty(very appropriate) Kay that because the media is accused of telling lies, they offer all sorts of lines from Trump that they assert are lies.
    For example, the Yemen raid he declared a success BUT the media KNOWS it was a failure. The media has now reached the height of, “Please sir, I did push Donald but Donald had said we were smelly, so there.”
    Something else, maybe it’s always been but I don’t recall it from the days of John Timpson, Brian Redhead and so on. News people now demonstrate an unbelievable level of, arrogance, self importance and rudeness I don’t recall in the past. They were always just people doing a job and that came over but now there seems this, quite inappropriate, personal vendetta which I find hard to comprehend.

    PETER HITCHENS: The BBC isn’t trying to revive Civilisation – it’s destroying it

    The commenters supporting the BBC, and accusing Hitchens (and Kenneth Clark) of ignoring non Western civilisations (not entirely justified) are missing the essential point that Hitchens knows the BBC very well, and understands its true motives.

    I don’t believe for one minute that the BBC is producing “Civilisations” in order to educate and inform. It is trying to redress what it sees as bigoted Eurocentrism.

    And just one other point. We know about algebra, the pyramids, Angkor Wat, ancient India and China etc. What makes European civilisation exceptional, IMO, is the wide range of areas in which it excels and exerts influence.

    The BBC can barely contain its excitement about this evening’s BAFTAs. What might they be excited about? Seeing talent getting rewarded for contributing to the overall well being of mankind? Er…no. They can’t wait for some luvvie to take it upon themselves to slag off President Trump for something or other and it matters not what. Of course this is the perfect scenario for the BBC as they can avoid any criticism by stating they were only broadcasting events they have no control over. The BAFTA story on the BBC website included this comment,’If Meryl Streep’s criticism of President Trump at the Golden Globes is anything to go by, though, the biggest headlines of the night could well come from the acceptance speeches.’ I am sure they weren’t trying to influence anybody or, heaven forbid, give a publicity hungry celeb any ideas.

    Trump might address huge rally in Midlands, heartland of Brexit, and bypass Westminster. Savour the last line about berk-o 🙂
    The change of location is apparently being considered to allow the President to address a rally and raise money for veterans through ticket sales.
    It is thought the reasoning behind the move is to allow Mr Trump to face a more sympathetic crowd in the Brexit heartland.
    One source close to the president said: “It would be his biggest rally with 85,000 people coming together to celebrate the US-UK special relationship,” a source close to Mr Trump said, according to the Telegraph.
    “If he is not speaking to the Houses of Parliament, let’s go to the people. The only person who gets screwed is the Speaker of the House of Commons.”

    Any questions rather gave away another one of the reasons the political class don’t like Donald Trump being president.

    He’s not part of the club !

    All professions are protectionist whether they care to admit it or not. Right from the tradesmen like electricians who write complex needless revisions to regulations to limit entry, or lawyers who make sure that non lawyers can’t represent others by rights of audience.

    Trumps we were told on Radio 4’s any questions is not a career politician so therefore he is dangerous – doesn’t understand how the system works and how things are done.

    In other word he is not part of the club and therefore he is not & never will be welcome.

    Democracy is not for the people, but for the elite professionals to manage, and they are not at all pleased at the prospect of their carefully cultivated swamp being drained.

      Watching the BBC One news this evening I noted that President Trump was being criticised by the reporter for not ‘condemning’ the Korean missile launch. We were shown the Japanese prime minister making his remarks about it then President Trump essentially said that he was supporting Japan. What more needed to be said?

      And there we have it, as you said, he is not of the political class, he said what any normal person would have said. But the journalists have in recent years got to write the script for the politicians, “President Condemns Missile Launch”, is the headline, all they have to do now is get the politician to say it. Anyone who is fool enough to fall for that trick finds that they have been boxed into a corner that will haunt them for years and can ruin international relations.

      The Andrew Marr show is a prime example of this with its embedded news. It stands out a mile that ‘so and so said xxxx on this programme’ was in Marr’s script, so much so that it is often obvious that the politician said no such thing, but then why ruin a good (fake) news story?

        People forget that Japan has changed it’s policy on defence. No longer limiting itself to the Japanese homelands but authorising military action anywhere it’s security is threatened.
        President Trump will know this. All he needs to say is that he has Japan’s back and that is enough.
        His audience is in the far East not on our TV.
        Has the European elite no sense at all? The President has zero interest in our opinions on anything now. We have blown it for good.

          Not so fast Dave .
          Trump has Nigel Farage, Mr Brexit himself, to advise him on the politics of the people of GB.

      Steinmeier, the newly elected German president, has publicly referred to Trump as a “hate preacher”. Smugly, he explains that he is all for contacts with Trump so that “our values” can be explained to him. The arrogance of scum like this is breathtaking. He is similarly dismissive about Brexit and the “populist menace” He even thinks that Germany should step up and defend “European values”
      militarily as the USA is isolating itself and has succumbed to “national egotism”. Must be channelling Verhofstadt there.
      Thank God we are leaving the EU presided over by German meglomaniac zombies.
      What joy a Wilders and/or Le Pen victory would bring.

        They just can’t leave it alone. Germany – today Europe, tomorrow the World. Being lectured by those blood soaked fuckers takes the biscuit.

        Yes ID, thank God we’re leaving. Anyone who’d looked at European history should’ve known better than to think France, Germany etc., would ever really change character for the better.

    The latest Sky Arts in the series on the Eighties covered Reagan.
    Striking similarities between then and now, him and Trump.

    Just had to borrow this which I just found on BB…. credit to “WatchYourSixHobbits”…..

    President Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht.
    The Pope accepted and during lunch, a puff of wind blew the Pontiff’s
    hat off, right into the water.

    It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just
    floated in place.

    The crew and the secret service were scrambling to launch a boat to go
    get it, when Trump waved them off, saying “Never mind, boys, I’ll get
    it.”

    The Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to
    the hat, picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed onto the
    yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.

    The crew was speechless.

    The security team and the Pope’s entourage were speechless.

    No one knew what to say, not even the Pope.

    But that afternoon, the BBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, the
    Washington Post and the LA Times all knew how to cover the story.
    Their banner headlines read, “TRUMP CAN’T SWIM!”

    Beebistan ‘news’ pleased to report German authorities believe a ‘prankster’ let off a pepper spray canister at Hamburg airport. They know nothing about him, but are confident it was a prankster, not a terrorist. So that’s all right then.

      Had my Government petition (Require BBC to Customer Survey All License Payers and Publish in Full) rejected because, “The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations. You can find out how to give feedback to the BBC about programmes and services here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/faqs/
      Well, I did try but, “governed by a Royal Charter”? Sorry, the BBC is governed by two things, jack and shit.

    The Papers, liberal-fest, 2 leftie journos and leftie Nicolas Owen, all sniggering at Justice Secretary’s speech reported in DT, in particular her use of the word ‘wicked’ criminals, how judgmental! Tony Grew asks ‘why has the prison pop gone up from 42 to 85,000, is it cos we’re getting more wicked (ha ha) or because we’re locking up people that shouldn’t be locked up?

    Er, there is another possibility – what else has soared in those decades?

    No doubt all 3 did the same Marxist Sociology course, it’s all society’s fault, capitalism, bla bla.
