    For over 30 odd years Sounds of the 60s at 8am on Radio 2 survived without ‘Pause for thought’

    Today we have the first Dermot O’Dreary Saturday Breakfast Show and we have such a feature, OK it was a ‘right on’ female C of E vic today, but with a BBC head of religion from a certain persuasion I think we can see where this feature will be going…

    Bring back Brian Matthew.

      The removal of Brian Matthew will come back to bite them.
      Let them never say again that they give a fig for their audience-no matter HOW successful the show, how loyal the listeners. This was just taken away from us because they could do it without anyone paying the price for being so wilfully stupid as Radio 2s Controller. This is their Tracey Emin/M&S moment-when the good people quietly sidle off and don`t return. As well as make the BBC yet more of a mortal enemy than it is for so many (hitheto neutral) people.
      I myself have gone to Angel FM-and will listen only to selected pals like Liza, Ken and Steve…but perpetually on probation seeing as how their employers treated Tony( yet there he is back on Radio 2!…bizarre!).
      Hope to recruit Brians Silent Army to wreak havoc in due course!

    I have seen the video clip on The ” Mirror” website of the “intruders” entering the BBC.
    I expect they just said at the gate that they had to go to the positive discrimination and diversity department for interviews about being the next generation presenters and reporters.

    So the Twitterati get triggered by someone called ‘Brie Larson’ showing a bit too much flesh on ‘The One Show’ 01/03/02, yet somehow a sweeping statement on the same programme by Anita Rani seems to pass muster.

    There’s an item on worker’s rights in the 1970’s (begins approx 15:55). Interesting and potentially insightful, I thought. And then, oh dear (approx 17:30):

    “I mean we’re talking about the 1970s, a migrant woman, in a racist Britain…”.

    It would, of course, be wrong to claim there was no racism in Britain at that time. But, really? ‘a racist Britain’?

    More inciting than insightful, I fear.

      We are always being told how racist Britain is. But has the BBC ever shown, either in real life or fiction, any immigrants who have actually gone BACK to their countries because of said racism? If it’s so bad, why do they stay here?

      • Al Shubtill says:

        Solid post Cranmer.

        Why is it also the case that EU nationals are still pouring into our country (since the Brexit vote) and very few of the ones who are already here have left either, whilst “some might say” there has been such a huge increase in “hate” towards them here in the UK?

        If that were true, this should be the last place they’d want to come and the ones who are here now would be performing a Brexit of their own to get back to the safety of their homelands.

    In the Telegraph this morning there is a piece by Charles Moore about the Lefts take over of academia. He does point out that this has been going on for years but he is way too late to make any difference. Nor does he mention that the judiciary, the civil service, local government , the arts and of course the media , have all fallen to the left over the past decades. He also fails to mention that one of the key assets that the left have had in this ‘ revolution’ has been the BBC. Without the state funded broadcaster the left would have found it much more difficult to achieve dominance in all of these fields. It has been much lamented by people on this site that the conservatives allowed the BBC to propagandise on behalf of the left for the past 30 years and more. Lady T was the last PM to have the chance of dealing with the BBC but she didn’t take it, one of her few errors. So entrenched is the left in all our institutions that they are able to resist and control the democratic process. Brexit being a rare example of them losing control and look how hard they are resisting the will of the people. Once again the BBC is key in controlling the people so the left will never voluntarily allow the corporation to be cut down to size. Getting rid of the BBC is going to be as tough as getting rid of dried on cow shit from your car when you wash it.

      Never as bad as we think Doublethinker.
      The Lackademia report by the Adam Smith Institute gives the raw data-such as it is.
      Don`t worry. Your analysis is correct, but the youngsters of Britain, their Bantz lads and those of independent mind, have been steeled by Brexit-and know full well what their idiot lugs in Higher Ed have turned into.
      This coming generation will be VERY good-the REAL parents of this nation in the tough places have been telling them the REAL state of the Nation-indeed, most of them live in it-and with its fallout.
      Trump Clubs are setting up-and you might say that the “Futures Bright-and the Futures Orange!”.

        Chris I do hope that you are right. But I note that yesterday the PM mentioned the BBC amongst a list of the greatest achievements of the UK. This is at least the second time I have heard her say this. It might have been true upto say the sixties but certainly not for the period since then. She had no need to mention the hated corporation in this list . So She must either really believe it to be so , which I find incredible, or she is trying to curry favour with the BBC. Imagine the Prime Minister of the UK trying to curry favour with the BBC. Not only is it a completely vain hope it actually makes the BBC stronger and increases their belief that they can hold the democratically elected government to ransom. Why she would feel the BBC would support her on Brexit , or the Scottish Question or on her domestic agenda , is beyond me. The BBC will seek to undermine her on Brexit and on her domestic agenda at every opportunity and the best can expect on the Scottish agenda is neutrality. If she wants to govern this country in the best interests of everyone she needs to rid us of the BBC as a first step.

          Basing my views on the nature and the kids that I find myself teaching round here. From Primary to College-there are now good numbers of kids whose views on trans, Trump and Brexit are EXACTLY the opposite of their worn-out, tattooed thickies, their Guardian-reading, charity- cake monkeys who deliver Obamaturds and Toynbees tapeworms-as opposed to teaching stuff, as the private sector are wont to do.
          These fiction factories and fizz emporiums are bloody funny-and the lid is off.
          As for May-well, she`s not a got a clue-and she`1l only win the election if we get a Brexit that will make the leftiscum HOWL-accept no other way to measure our success.
          And crap though she is-she seems an ideal politician in that she will get a landslide if she does what we`re wanting. If she wants the Lords and the BBC on her side-well she`1l be Suttee Show material like the Remainiax!

          I fear it is time we accepted the fact that the BBC reflects government policy, in the sense of a national direction, whatever party happens to be in power. If this were not so our present politicians could easily have made radical changes over the years since 2011 – the fact that they have not done so, or even attempted to readjust the ‘balance’ of output should tell us all we need to know, however unpalatable.
          The establishment and acceptance of a multicultural society has been the aim of most western nations since the end of WW2, we just happen to have had a greater reservoir from which to draw – as compared, until recently, to Germany’s predominantly Turkish immigrant population and France’s Algerian, for instance.
          The BBC in fact are doing the government’s dirty work for them, by forcing a gradual and inexorable acceptance of non-white, non-Christian presenters etc simply by degree of exposure. Just like lies becoming truths by repetition, so our khaki society slowly but surely becomes reality. The only viable alternative is mass insurrection – and that fear is what motivates today’s politicians.

            Beltane,
            I am torn between your view and Chris’s . I fear you are correct but I hope that Chris’s optimistic view turns out to be right in the long run. Stepping back from the fray for a moment, I just can’t understand why right across the West , triumphant from the defeat of communism in the Cold War, politicians decided , contrary to the wishes of their own people,to promote multiculturalism and mass migration. This was unquestionably a strategy that would lead to extreme tensions and probably worse in the host countries. Why even think of inflicting this on your own people your own voters? Yet even as late as last year , with loads of evidence that showed all the fears were correct, Merkel does the very same thing when she had no need to. There is something very wrong, very sinister at work here and has been for decades. The whole of the West is being destroyed for reasons I can’t even begin to understand.

            Taking this a stage further, though I’m sure they would be mortified by the suggestion, it means that the perpetual exposure of such non-entities as Toynbee, Mason, Jones, Alibhai-Brown and all the other BBC regulars, is quite simply insignificant, their opinions really do not matter. Any government worthy of the name would surely question and seek to redress the fact that 90% of BBC political commentators write for the Guardian, but in fact the politicians don’t, and the paper’s risible circulation simply continues to play to a miniscule gallery promoting equally risible opinions. In effect, their degree of self-importance is encouraged, because it is so shallow as to be meaningless. Shame, but there it is. Sorry Polly.
            Since the vast majority are watching cookery, antique valuation or house buying anyway, the BBC literati are preaching to the their own overblown winds, and unwittingly toe the government line in the process.

              95-99% of people would much rather be “liked” than be “right”-and it`s this bunch of wind sniffers who let the BBC reign, let Bercow sit on his woolsack, let Vaz get his gun greased. But Trump and Farage are part of “The 1%”-as indeed are a few others including a fair few on this site and beyond.

                And yet, of course, the nigger in the woodpile – a phrase I feel sure you will excuse – is Islam. That’s the factor that simply wasn’t taken into consideration when all the masterplans were hatched, by Benn and Crosland among others, and our Brave New World was ushered in, to the tune of that same band, on an unsuspecting populace. And perhaps the ultimate irony of our car-dependant, entertainment-based culture, is that Saudi oil money has financed and created the nightmare that awaits, deliberately, with malice aforethought, and those same BBC ‘gurus’ and the CofE have helped to ensure its unopposed acceptance. History is already shaking her head in disbelief.

          Double
          I see it slightly different. The PM is a BBC puppet who owes her place to them. Hence her praise of the BBC her failure to whimper about their bias, their anti US hostility, and support for the Islamification of Europe. She has given them a free ride over their charter, a promise to allow increases in Licence fees and even access to homes for their licence collecting thugs. Regarding Trump, she stood by whilst Laura Keenseberg went out of her way to offend him, and on at least two ocasions agreed with a BBC hack that Trump was horribly sexist. She has conceded to BBC inspired street thugs that Trump’s visit will be postponed Adhering to the BBC policy for Europe she has refused to meet Marine Le Pen and has continues to snuggle up to Merkel. As for Brexit she is the perfect BBC stooge, proclaiming support for Brexit in speeches, but in practice delay’s and engineered defeats in the court and the Lords. Should we ever reach a final stage of Brexit negotiations our BBC girl will ensure that it involves very little change from our Brussels dominated political system and further Islamisation of Europe – note her support for sharia, another BBC tune. A traitor which historians in the US will acknowledge when we are finished.

            GWF,
            You may well be right. I think the ‘meaningful vote’ amendment to the article 50 bill will be a pointer re the true attitude to Brexit of the government. If the government concedes that Parliament can vote down the deal at the end of the negotiations then in effect Brexit is lost. The language used about what this amendment actually means may well be so slippery that us normal ordinary folks won’t really know what is going on. So I am taking my lead from the reaction of the likes of backbench long term Brexiteers MPs such as Peter Bone, John Redwood et al. If they are content then Brexit is still afloat , if they kick up a fuss then Brexit is lost. Then the establishment will have succeeded in overturning the democratic result of the referendum. But they may have done it such a way that the people don’t understand what has taken place and that their votes have counted for nothing. Imagine if the people realised that they had been subverted , that democracy in the UK was worthless, very fertile ground for UKIP .

    I didn’t see the ‘offending’ flesh, but with all the screams of outrage and unacceptability recently by the Twatterati, the Islamic ‘covering-up’ Fashion Show, and the general promotion of Islam, I’m wondering if this is not another subliminal tactic by Twitter in making Islam more acceptable ! They’re spreading like fleas across the Continent, so the next pincer movement is to take over social media for complete occupation. Sadiq Khan has already opposed the lingerie ads on the London Underground, – a little drip (figuratively speaking) soon turns into a flood.

    OT
    Caught this this morning, there is a big money fight tonight on BBC/Sky etc PVV
    heavyweight headlining T Bellew v D Haye, (mentioned as a thriller grudge fight by the BBC).
    To be honest, I ve been very dismayed at the recent PVVs with Joshua in particular
    his opponents sheesh! (we used to call them Mexican road sweepers in the early 70s)and their condition was (to be kind) poor.
    Haye always in condition, but his last two (non) opponents? he hasn t had a real competitive fight for 5 yrs.
    and
    his opponent tonight looked like he was in prime condition … to dance at “Funny Girl” in Blackpool,(maybe there are iron abs somewhere, and shoulders of steel)
    https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/o2weighin-haye-bellew17.jpg?w=620&h=434&crop=1

    and I know heavyweights “carry the timber” but normally with good condition
    all I can say is, that I wouldn t pay for this, maybe they should stick to the “handbags” I saw on the news last night.
    I hope its not another bell goes/pick up cheque/thank you and goodnight type palava.

    Which is a very real stretch, and bordering on a smear against the Trump administration. It’s clearly nowhere near as serious as Watergate, although there’s no doubt that the BBC wished it was.

    The BBC would love Trump to be impeached, but they should be careful what they wish for. Trump has an excellent insurance policy,Mike Pence. If he had to take over, then we’d see some real liberal tears.

          Bill and Brissles – I sometimes wonder whether there has been an active policy decision by some of our more excitable enrichers not to attack the UK significantly at this particular time.

          I believe that this could be due to

          1 Not to start too many wars on too many fronts until you have sufficient forces in place. These are currently doing very well in the Central and Northern European theatre of Operations with Merkel allowing plenty or re-inforcements and supplies to enter via the med

          2 It is in their interests to have an area (close to the current theatre of operations) Where some of the local staff officers can help plan the campaign in relative peace.

          If they upset us dhimmis too much in the UK we may become less welcoming to the likes of Generalfeldmarschall Choudry and indeed the likes of Minister of Propaganda and National Enlightenment Lord Hall Hall and Propaganda gruppenfuhrer Shami Chakrabarti would find it awkward to be so positive about Generalfeldmarschall Choudrys campaign and may even start ask the MCB difficult questions like = Do you like Lemon Drizzle cake ?

          I am afraid that I do not believe that all these terrorist plots have been thwarted as it would be physically impossible now to monitor the large numbers of radical Jihadis currently active in this country.
          I suppose however if you include the recent stunning victory the Cambridshire Constabulory achieved against the right wing menace of Tommy Robinson and his radicalised children who threatened Cambridge city centre and the jailing and subsequent death (in prison) of the Phantom Bacon percher our security forces are actually doing quite well in protecting us from terrorists.

          I suspect we are more likely to currently be in a “phony war” situation. Our time will come not not before The Central German/European front has been conquered.

      The stitching up on Mastermind is most obvious in the ‘celebrity’ programmes ie young black men (and David Lammy) get easy questions. I now watch the quiz only occasionally and I think that is why I have noticed this fixing always happens. If someone is really sinking ie have very few questions right and will never win, the questions get easier. If an old white man is doing very well he gets questions on pop music or sport but so will the young black guy. I remember many years ago hearing that if contestants had long questions in the first round then they had shorter questions in the general knowledge. Now, it is just if your racial and gender profiling fit the BBC agenda, you will get more questions, so have a better chance of getting more right.
      Not so long ago someone on this site who knew an engineer or such like, posted that the BBC leaves nothing to chance. From Strictly, to Bake Off, to Mastermind, it is increasingly true. But I assume it also applies to every other programme the BBC makes, from its news programmes to it drama, the choice of who appears on Any Answers; the BBC ensures it fits their agenda.

    BBC Radio 4 Wimmins hour is championing the ‘day without wimmin’ ‘strike’ Which will hopefully see many snowflakes sacked, however this is the truth behind the people organising the march championed by the BBC:

    http://nypost.com/2017/02/25/the-next-womens-march-is-co-organized-by-a-terrorist/

    The document was co-authored by, among others, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist. Odeh, a Palestinian, was convicted in Israel in 1970 for her part in two terrorist bombings, one of which killed two students while they were shopping for groceries. She spent 10 years in prison for her crimes. She then managed to become a US citizen in 2004 by lying about her past (great detective work, INS: Next time, use Google) but was subsequently convicted, in 2014, of immigration fraud for the falsehoods.

    Angela Davis, is a Stalinist professor and longtime supporter of the Black Panthers. Davis is best known for being acquitted in a 1972 trial after three guns she bought were used in a courtroom shootout that resulted in the death of a judge. She celebrated by going to Cuba.

    A third co-author, Tithi Bhattacharya, praised Maoism in an essay for the International Socialist Review, noting that Maoists are “on the terrorist list of the US State Department, Canada, and the European Union,” which she called an indication that “Maoists are back in the news and by all accounts they are fighting against all the right people.” You know you’re dealing with extremism when someone admits to hating Canada.

    According to The Guardian piece, women should spend their day “blocking roads, bridges, and squares, abstaining from domestic, care and sex work” and “boycotting” pro-Trump businesses. Also every woman is supposed to wear red in solidarity.

    It sounds just the kind of thing the BBC will be celebrating, and we can only hope that output on March 8th will consist of males only !

      Agree, But the cop at the very end gave the Government/BBC position – 95% of Muslims want to integrate and not be influenced by these extremists.

      Having said that the programme was accurate on the prison conditions. Note also how the terrorist threatened the guard’s family. In a sane world he would have been held for a very serious crime indeed, but the guard just obeyed him

        It is rather difficult to reconcile the 95% with the recent survey finding that 40% of muslims currently residing in Britain wish this country to adopt sharia law. I don’t think the latter could be construed as ‘wishing to integrate’.

    British journalist, Katie Hopkins was interviewed by Tucker Carlson for Fox News the other evening. My apologies if you’ve already discussed this and I’m going over old ground; but at my age…
    The industrious and brave Katie had been out to Sweden to investigate if there might just be any truth in Donald Trump’s wild assertions (BBC) that the country was in a dreadful state due to mass Muslim immigration.
    What she discovered shocked even me and that takes some doing these days.
    She visited some of the high immigrant areas and spoke to women who were too afraid to go out at night. She told of a grenade being placed in a bin next door to a police station and was reprimanded for “politicising” the event.
    She talked to a woman whose home had been broken into and whose car had been torched.
    However, the most startling aspect of this ghastly manifestation of multi-culturalism, as far as I am concerned, was the response of the feminists. They have become as bad, if not worse, than the third world retards who are creating this havoc. The (so called) feminists accuse anyone who makes a complaint against one of our bearded brethren of being racist. Women who go to the authorities accusing, let’s say a Muslim for sake of argument, find themselves being berated, bullied and attacked by the sisterhood. It would appear that they are so in thrall to multi-culturalism that any dissenting voice has to be silenced.
    What she unearthed in a very short time would never find its way on to the BBC. They’re far happier replaying Johnny Dymond’s chortling put down of President Trump. “It’s Sweden. Nothing happened today, nothing happened yeasterday.”
    And there’s nothing being reported on the BBC.
    What a surprise…

      The feminists and Islam are firmly united. The women’s March on Washington was led by a Muslim jihadist women who has openly argued for sharia. The next one is jointly led by a former Palestinian terrorist who served a sentence for participating in a murder of Isreali students.

    Someone mentioned recently on this thread how More or Less, the brilliant programme about statistics on Radio 4, has gone all SJW. It has and it is so annoying. Last week we heard about how sexual assault is not really a problem in Sweden; this week it is about the ‘gender pay gap’ in Hollywood. Can’t they just leave their politics out of it? Otherwise every story follows the same
    victim narrative which is so annoying.

    Apparently the top women stars were paid less than men. That is fair enough – maybe that is a problem, but I still have limited sympathy for any woman who is earning over £30 million a year, and it takes some gall to still complain men are paid more. I am sure male models earn nothing like what female models do, but that would not fit the PC narrative.

    The presenter then does an analysis of how many lines in films are said by women, people of colour and people with disabilities; they actually did a detailed analysis of Hollywood films and came up with a percentage of lines spoken by their victim groups and said that needed to improve! It is beyond parody. Who gives a shit? Should not aesthetics be all that matters? Is anyone in a wheelchair realty crying themselves to sleep because there has never been a character in a wheel chair in the Godfather? Who cares what colour people’s skin is? We all loved the Fresh Prince when we were growing up and you never thought twice about all the characters being black.

    I really am sick to death of this relentless cultural Marxism. It has infected everything. Can’t they just let us get on with things and trust we will work it out ok, rather than this constant whining about ‘diversity’ and all minorities needing to be proportionally represented in everything? We just had a black President, far God’s sake, and all the political leaders on our island are women. Every boy’s dream is to be a footballer; and you must be ten times more likely to achieve that if you are born black – a miracle unimaginable decades ago. All my Asian classmates from school are now doctors earning six figures. We neber hear anything positive about how far we have moved forward in terms of racism and inclusion. Nobody is racist anymore. We will never hear anything positive about it from the Beeb though.

    Writers should just seek to entertain; they should not have to worry about how ‘diverse’ their script is. The reality is that men and women are different and perhaps male propensities are often more engaging for writers. You are six times more likely to be in prison or commit a crime if you are a man, and crime makes for great drama. And people probably do not want female super heroes.

    It is all a house built on sand, as men and women are not the same and all cultures are not equal.

    Sorry, rant over.

      Chill.
      No need to apologise for your “rant”. It sounds perfectly true to me.
      My theory is that for the last 50 or so years an industry has developed which seeks to remedy perceived injustices. This is epitomised by the hypocritical social justice warriors, the fake diversity preachers and the politically correct cultural marxists.
      I have watched over my lifetime as Britain has been transformed from an inward looking patriarchal xenophobic society to one where all forms of culture are supported and celebrated, where all minorities have abundant rights, and where the welfare state ensures no-one need go hungry, need shelter or lack medical treatment.
      A couple of personal illustrations. A child of mine married a woman of Pakistani origin and a niece married a man of West Indian origin. No ostracism or stigma resulted, whereas in the 1950s all hell would have broken loose.
      An example from my employment in a local authority. There was an obsession with diversity in the work force and how it had to match the diversity of the local population. You would not believe the amount of time and effort that was spent monitoring these figures and attempting to work out ways to achieve the correct quotas.
      I’m sure anyone over the age of 50 would have many similar experiences that show up the false claims about Britain for what they are.
      And yet, we have a never ending clamour that “more needs to be done” to improve society for those who are oppressed. A never ending increase in the human and financial resources being applied to correct these perceived problems.
      Another poster recently reported on the apparent disconnect between actual air pollution levels which have fallen dramatically since 1970, and the ramping up of anti diesel rhetoric. The green lobby protests that nevertheless there are pollution hot spots that are a threat to health.
      When will it all stop? When will life be good enough? When will any do-gooder concede that he has done sufficient good and can retire and do something more productive?
      I believe that a significant proportion of the population earns its living from magnifying these issues and conceiving ways to put them right. They therefore have a monetary vested interest in maintaining their myths and will use any means at their disposal to do so. Including of course their version of fake news, ably supplied by the principal purveyor, the BBC.

      He now has his people in key positions and they’re able to go through the files, so I expect more revalations about what the swamp creatures were up to under Obama.

    “A fascinating way of doing politics”

    That was the somewhat relativist view from the BBC Breakfast red sofa of the one party state of Communist China’s National People’s Congress (NPC), which has gathered in Beijing for its annual session.

    I’m reminded of the old tv show Star Trek situation when they might be faced with a massive malevolent galaxy-destroying entity which had horrified Kirk and his crew with it’s awsome potential for wiping out countless civilisations – Mr Spock would simply raise one eyebrow and utter his catchphrase “fascinating”

    But then this current BBC news show tackles a couple of political issues closer to home and now so accustomed am I to BBC bias that my response is much in the manner of Mr Spock.

    In the US I’m told President Trump has sparked a controversy with his tweets accusing the Obama administration of bugging and selective leaking to the Trump-hostile press. I think we know this is a fair description of prior events and yet Trump is put in the dock by the BBC.

    Then the BBC turns to the issue of EU citizens in the UK (and vice versa). The dyed-in-the-wool (despite his father) Remainer Hilary Benn is given an approving platform to criticise the government on this one issue that he thinks can be solved in isolation when in reality Benn is a false witness because he would like to scupper the entire process and have us stuck within the EU forever.

    Fascinating.

    I don’t quite understand this mounting obsession with unilaterally allowing three million Europeans the right to stay here. In some quarters it seems to be approaching hysteria.
    Don’t misunderstand me, I do think if you’ve lived and worked here (legally) paid your taxes and not been in prison then it’s only right, fair and British that you should be allowed to stay. I believe that this was Theresa’s opening gambit when she attempted to get a reciprocal arrangement for nearly one million Brit’s who have retired to sunnier climes. From what we’ve been told it was Angela Merkel and Mr Junker who put the kibosh on it.
    Mrs May’s position makes sense to me. Why would we, rather naively, decide to take the high moral ground when our own elderly (could) be asked to leave.

They don’t seem to give a tinker’s toss about Brit’s abroad. No kudos in that, I guess.
    As you would expect the BBC have been stirring this for all they are worth, interviewing folk who have lived here nearly all their lives and would never be thrown out in a million years, as the deceitful Beeb well knows. Blimey, it took us over decade to get shot of that revolting terrorist “Captain Hook”!
    The BBC and their politically correct cohorts are creating a problem that doesn’t actually exist.
    What does The Donald call this?
    Fake news…

      Of course it is not just about 3-5 million EU immigrants but in time all their relatives and new wives. Many of our recent Dutch and Swedish arrivals are in fact asylum seekers granted nationality at high speed in the sure and certain knowledge they will make their way to the UK.

    “School students are being taught to detect and help “child bride’’ classmates escape from their families as the federal government cracks down on forced marriages. The government has funded a “forced marriage curriculum’’, following a surge in the number of girls as young as nine made to marry older men. The government helped 18 girls escape forced marriages last financial year — three times more than in 2015”.

    “Teachers have been told it is “critical the culture of the students be respected at all times” . “Staff need to ensure that no cultural, religious or ethnic group is singled out in any examples of the practice of forced marriage, and that any unfolding class discussions are free from judgments or stereotypes,” the curriculum states.…

    The BBC and Guardian are twisting the Trump phone tapping allegation to the ‘show me the evidence’ line. The Guardian has centred on “The spokesman for Mr Obama, Kevin Lewis, said the accusation was “simply false”.” This is also used on the BBC’s news web site.

    But that wording is extraordinary. They don’t say, “we didn’t wire tap Trump, who was running against our party.” They say they didn’t order it.

    So, I am taking it that it did happen. No doubt the BBC will be demanding clarification form Obama.

      Absolutely disgraceful isn’t it, Scribbling!

      Whenever have the bBeeb used ‘evidence’ for any of their sub-standard ‘research’? They twist and turn every spluttering dribble, pretending that they are right, and now more and more good people are seeing them for a shallow little fourth form clique who aren’t capable of actually digging for evidence in anything.

      Spitting out ‘Where’s the evidence’ is so childish, and of course, is a sort of silly pub-game mentality!

      Reckon Trumps got them on the run here. If there`s ANY truth to this( and I`d bet that there is)-then he need only let them twist in the wind, say nothing and let the liberal gobshites get smoked out and revealed one by one.
      What Trump surely will NOT do is feed their timetable and media cyclical agendas-which will allow the left to burn the files and nobble those who know what was done.
      Given the Oscars last week-and Trumps hitherto-brilliant mastery and trolling of Fake News Airstrip 666 etc-think Trump will make them stew in the jacuzzi, so it`ll emerge as a garroting and not a hanging.
      When the media demand an answer-refuse it, give it when they DON`T want to hear it.
      For this reason-hope UKIP will stay out of Gorton, so Labour can disembowel itself without the unifying excuse of UKIP there. The media will taunt them-so all the MORE reason to stay out. If the media want it-it`s only to stay in the EU and kill Trump, to raise the IS flag or make you look at Mo Farahs piss samples.

    More fake news on the rise and a heads up so you can recognise it.

    Trumps latest travel ban is about to come into force and the snowflakes are as you might expect rather cross about it.

    Their latest big lie is that if migrants from the Middle East are banned then you can kiss goodbye to silcon valley because Steve Jobs father was a refugee from Syria.

    One Hysterical poster on the Daily Mail site claimed:

    “If you block Iranians you can wave goodbye to Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs’s father was a Syrian refugee.”

    Clearly there is a huge flaw in the logic here – if you block Iranians Syrians won’t be able to come??
    However the rest of it gives serious cause for concern because it simply isn’t true.

    Jobs father was indeed a Syrian national but he was NOT a refugee. Here is the Wikipedia entry about him:

    “He pursued a PhD in the latter subject at the University of Wisconsin, where he met Joanne Carole Schieble, a Catholic of Swiss and German descent, who grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. As a doctoral candidate, Jandali was a teaching assistant for a course Schieble was taking, although both were the same age. Mona Simpson (Jobs’s biological sister), notes that her maternal grandparents were not happy that their daughter was dating Jandali: “it wasn’t that he was Middle-Eastern so much as that he was a Muslim.”

    So, instead of being a refugee he was in reality a student studying for a PhD.

    “Schieble became pregnant in 1954 when she and Jandali spent the summer with his family in Homs, Syria. Jandali has stated that he “was very much in love with Joanne … but sadly, her father was a tyrant, and forbade her to marry me, as I was from Syria.”

    Schieble gave birth to Jobs on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco and chose an adoptive couple for him Paul and Clara Jobs. Jobs would later say that he was deeply loved and indulged by Paul and Clara. Many years later, Jobs’s wife Laurene also noted that “he felt he had been really blessed by having the two of them as parents.” Jobs would become upset when Paul and Clara were referred to as “adoptive parents” as they “were my parents 1,000%.” With regard to his biological parents, Jobs referred to them as “my sperm and egg bank. That’s not harsh, it’s just the way it was, a sperm bank thing, nothing more.” Jandali has also stated that “I really am not his dad. Mr. and Mrs. Jobs are, as they raised him. And I don’t want to take their place.”

    So, when you hear this crap spout, which you almost inevitably will on the fake news generator that is the BBC, just remember that Jobs biological father was not a refugee, but a Syrian millionaire, and little more than a sperm donor who never knew his son.

      That is an interesting twist cos when I heard the Senator(?) list famous Silicon Valley immigrants and sons of immigrants
      ..one he named was US born but adopted by immigrant parents, so considered a virtual immigrant.
      So the Senator is double counting or having his cake and eating it.

      Ta Stew.
      Timeless, which only shows how long this battle has been fought for. And how important it is to finish the BBC before it finishes us.
      This morning Paddy O Connell said the next hour would be Trump-free.
      Was it REALLY Paddy?…bet you never went even twenty minutes or such before you and your minders, writers and guests simply HAD to link something to your Nemesis. Not that I listened, life`s too short.
      Previously I`d heard the great John Gray-who diagnosed the problem of cognitive dissonance-but applied it to woolly Obamabores by way of a faint problem. As opposed to it being core to all that he stands for at the New Statesman or such.
      Which I believe he`d call projection, displacement activity. He`s a clever lad you know.
      Look John-Brexit showed the divide-are you able to explain us to your client base? Or do you hope to negotiate a compromise between WE The People-and your paymasters and berth holders in academia and the BBC?
      John was poor today…any chance of Roger Scruton back any time soon?-who DOES speak for us?

    Interesting Desert Island Discs with Jimmy Carr.
    Kirsty was mortified re her posh accent getting mentioned-obsessed over lapsed catholicism(as if comedy and lapsed catholicism are a new thing she`s found). In short, a religious ignoramus hoping for the money shot for Darwin that the BBC craves.
    Well yes-to a point. But Carr refused any dyslexia special pleading( she did not like that), and was relatively thoughtful and aware.
    But then he made a fatal error-he would only NOT ever laugh at Hillsborough( as if no jokes exist on this grandiose liberal lockdown scam when used by the media). But he would laugh at Aberfan, Dunblane…because time has healed them in effect.
    End of line for Jimmy-safe to say he`d NOT be laughing at Muhammad, cartoons, Hebdo or IS would he…but yes he mocks “religion”.
    Really?..well he`ll take that Bible he`d get for kindling he said( well would he use the Koran in the same way?-after all his dyslexia would matter even LESS in Arabic would it not?)
    File under Stewart Lee then-easy targets only. Hardly the “truth to power” gig is it Jimmy?
    Still-you get no batter insight into how the BBCs top brass choose to present their pet rebels…Church of The Poisoned Mind as ever then.
