    The Oscars spends the night Trump bashing and has monumental tits-up at the end.
    Bibistan spend months Trump bashing and get banned from press briefings.

    News papers said Lily Allen has left twitter due to bullying about her stillbirth
    But she is still there.
    And is famous for trolling the entire UK via whatever she has to hand.

    Some people may not be aware that the La La Land team were well into their gushing acceptance speeches before the debacle (posh French for cock-up) was announced.
    Savour le coque-up in all its slo-mo car crash hilarity here (before it’s taken down). (All the funnier for the Producer’s sanctimonious anti-Trump allusions)

      And I’ve only just seen the Fox News site headlines and no, I don’t think Islam is, misrepresented or misunderstood – it is a barbaric death cult in the guise of a legitimate religion. Stick it up your treasonous arse BBC.

      Christians flee IS in Egypt, German beheading video, IS kill 11 in Mosque etc., etc., etc.. It just goes on and on and they are NOT lone wolves or deranged by Gitmo so fuck off BBC.

    In his (mistaken) acceptance speech, a Producer of La La Land calls for diversity.
    And, as if by magic, he gets it about 30 seconds later in the form of… Moonlight!

    Who says the Oscars have lost their magic?

    But seriously, one can only feel sympathy for a bunch of right-on luvvies getting egg all over their faces. And tuxes. And designer dresses. And gigantic egos. You’d need a heart of stone not to laugh. Ha ha ha ha.

    Oh. What. Wait. No. What do you mean the winner card was filled in prior to November 9th?

    Perhaps DJT could take a red envelope with him to his next press event and invite Jon Sopel to the front to open the envelope and advise who the winner is!

    Over to you:
    The Perfidy and Contempt of the BBC

    In November last year, following complaints of unacceptable Muslim bias and the deliberate marginalization of Christianity by its Muslim Head of Religion and Ethics, Aaqil Ahmed, the BBC announced that it was axing both the role of Head and the department of religion, bringing all religious programming and coverage under the remit of former Labour MP James Purnell, the head of radio and education.

    However, on February 25, the BBC quietly announced that it had appointed another Muslim, Fatima Salaria, as its new Head of Religious Programming.

    It would seem therefore that, in clear disregard of their earlier statement, the BBC has not only resurrected this role, but appears to be operating a policy of Islamic prioritization, once again ignoring the pleas of all other religious groups in the UK for proportionate and fair representation.

    Ms Salaria’s most notable achievement since joining the BBC in 2015 would appear to have been to commission the TV reality show Muslims like Us, described in the press as ‘Muslim Big Brother’. It may be remembered that in this programme, among the ten Muslim housemates – chosen to reflect the diverse views of Muslims in the UK – was included Abdul Haqq, a Muslim convert, former boxing champion, convicted fraudster … and member of the inner circle of jailed radical cleric Anjem Choudary. But it gets worse, because Mr Haqq reportedly not only supported banned terror group Al-Muhajiroun, but was arrested in 2014 in Dover, and later charged with plotting to go to Syria to fight with Islamic State after spreading terrorist material online.

    His inclusion, put forward without comment as merely one view among many, can only have served to ‘normalise’ extremism, and is an affront to all – including moderate Muslims honestly striving to integrate into British culture.

    Do we really want someone who commissions programmes like this as head of religion for the BBC? Do we trust her to give proportionate and fair representation to all religious groups? Do we trust the BBC? Or do we share the view of Professor Anthony Glees of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, who told The Mail: “If a BBC executive makes a programme that is notorious and then the BBC promotes them, it tells me that the BBC has in that area lost its moral compass.” (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/25/new-bbc-head-religion-gave-islamist-extremists-platform/).

    Ms Salaria is on record as saying the BBC needs to give greater voice to Muslims. It is a view that seems to have been swallowed hook, line, and sinker by dementedly ‘diverse’ Auntie, who seemingly takes every opportunity to undermine and pour derision on those who espouse the traditional Christian beliefs and values upon which our nation is founded. But exactly what voice does Ms Salaria class as authentically ‘Muslim’ and wish to be heard? After all, from the example of Abdul Haqq, she appears to have no problem supporting what the rest of us call extremism,

    It goes without saying that there is religious diversity in this country, and all faiths should receive proportionate coverage. But Christianity remains the established faith of the UK and, despite declining church attendance, according to the 2011 census Christians still make up 59.5% of the population (https://faithsurvey.co.uk/uk-christianity.html): a clear majority. Given therefore that Christianity is the main faith of this country, surely the head of religious programming should be Christian – or at the very least, as advocated by Conservative MP Bill Cash, the post should be rotated between the different faiths. Which should include Judaism, Hinduism and Sikkhism … as well as Islam.

    As it is, this new appointment seems deliberately insulting both to Christians and to followers of other belief systems, and part of an orchestrated attempt to Islamise the UK. Such an attitude displays not just contempt, but is a betrayal of the principles and values on which the UK is founded. For these reasons VfJUK joins those who argue that the BBC is no longer fit for purpose. We call for urgent investigation into the Corporation’s governance and purpose, and for review of the licence fee.

    Please sign our new petition to the Rt Hon Karen Bradley MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, calling for urgent investigation into the BBC’s governance and leadership.

    A quick look at the BBC News website at 3:30pm has

    i) a photo of a Muslim woman in a face veil holding a phone promoting a Muslim designed phone app.
    ii) a photo of an Oscars dress made by a Muslim designer.

    Is the BBC becoming a Muslim Broadcasting Corporation?

    How very civilised

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4262578/Melvyn-Bragg-gives-wife-huge-pay-NO-divorce.html

    ‘As part of the deal, he is understood to have shelled out several million pounds to buy his wife, who co-wrote a book about 10 Downing Street with Cherie Blair, her own home in Hampstead, North London’

    Can’t help but notice in the Evening Standard reports Labour Lord Bragg’s children are described as a ‘film-maker’ and a ‘science journalist’. I wonder, of course discounting nepotism, obviously, would our Lord Bragg subscribe to a view of nature or of nurture as the best qualification in the highly sought after realms of employment in the media?

    Beeb still posting ‘Quiet and Safe in Malmo’ lie. (Reminds me of All Quiet on The Western Front!)

    Dear Swedes, WHY do you lie? I can just about understand the Germans covering up the truth out of a sense of guilt about their past, but Sweden? You have nothing to be ashamed of, you’ve never done anything wrong – apart from Abba maybe – so please, start facing the truth or your country is toast.
