        Chris,
        I hope that I am being far too pessimistic but I think that by year end Holland, France and Germany will still have pro EU, liberal left governments . That the BBC will be crowing that the centre has reasserted itself etc etc. In the U.K. Brexit may have been overturned but not so the people will notice. Only in the USA will the anti liberal elite flame still be alive but that depends on President Trump being able to fight off the non stop attacks from the MSM and political establishment.
        In my view there is along hard road ahead before the liberal elite is defeated and victory is by no means assured.

          Or words like that.

    But Sturgeon has yet to rule on what the BBC needs to say, so no further questions.
    My point?
    Trump tapped Merkels phone, tapped opponents using the IRS so we know. Guys` got form here-but if the BBC aren`t covering his traces as we speak,I`d be surprised.
    They want Trump to state his cases, to contain the smell that`s surely soon to come.
    But Trump refuses to feed them.

    Internal Memorandum to all Swedish police stations.

    If nosy reporters come sniffing and asking politically incorrect questions:

    1) Show them reams of confusing statistics and doctored charts, preferably in Swedish.
    2) Avoid at all cost looking out window at billowing smoke from car fires.
    3) Ignore sound of gunshots and grenades.
    4) Threaten journalist with arrest for hate crime.

    Unless the journo is from the bbc, in which case:

    1) Tell the queue of women and girls lining up to report sexual assaults to come back tomorrow.
    2) Give the journo a cup of coffee and unlimited access to the station.
    3) Allow them to make up their own figures and write their own story.
    4) Don’t worry, they’re even better liars and bigger libtards than our government.

      One of the factors said to be crippling the NHS at present is emergency cover for staff, absent for various reasons, plus regular use of locums at full agency rates rather than NHS pay scales.

      Gordon Brown as Chancellor was deficient in funding expansion of UK medical schools (there was a media scandal) to handle the number of acceptable British candidates wishing to train as doctors, especially in light of his PM’s desire to expand the UK population by substantial numbers every year. Brown’s successors appear to have done no better.

          Correct! The BBC won t do it, just wave knickers about funding
          Our public service broadcaster has once again avoided factually scrutinising the funding, health reforms and instead simply regurgitates government spin, peddles myths and even presents pro-
          privatisation think tanks as if they were independent

          On funding? more than ever comes the No10 bleat … no BBC report questions the CCGs (deliberately designed as transitional bodies to be taken over by private insurers), the administrators, the accountancy firms and management consultants, a veritable army of unnecessary intermediaries siphoning away taxpayers’ money from delivery of direct healthcare.

          There is a crisis in the NHS, but its manufactured, The NHS is being deliberately defunded and marketised. The perceived failure is by design, its hard to sell/force private insurance, if its running adequately.
          As a whole Private is not viable on cost and not viable on patient service. Oh and these “Trusts mergers” are simply code for service removal, and department closure. Privatisation is at least a third more expensive because it goes on the market, on aiding private providers steal vital care funding from all, all of us,

          No mention of Letwin/Redwood, J Hunts puppet masters,
          No mention of that faux spat between Stevens and Hunt over funding? NHS chief executive Simon Stevens’ last job was as a UnitedHealth executive! and Hunt? on record as saying that the NHS should be privatised. And dismantled these crooks are “two cheeks of the same arse”
          The deceitful No10 crap about the funding are unforgivable lies, so our ill and elderly are expendable. Of course the blame game will be everything from Drs, hospital staff, the elderly, councils, the mentally ill, other parties, individual hospital departments etc.

        “One of the factors said to be crippling the NHS at present is emergency cover for staff, absent for various reasons, plus regular use of locums at full agency rates rather than NHS pay scales.”

        There was a time when every hospital had its own bank of staff willing to work extra shifts. The simple rule was that when you needed to cover a shift your first call was to the bank coordinator, then you offered overtime, and only in an extreme emergency did you contact an agency. With the coming of the Labour government it was decided that it was inefficient for every hospital to have its own bank and that there should be an NHS wide arrangement – NHS Professionals. Hospitals were instructed to close down their staff banks. The result was a massive increase in the use of agency staff. Having been set up in 2001 NHS Professionals was reorganised in 2004 and re-disorganised in 2010.

        If the BBC looked it could find material for an extended series on how the problems in the NHS are caused by political posturing not under funding.

    I’ve just been listening to Money Box and this week’s edition is another of those programmes where the BBC find a story that they would like to tell but in the telling it turns out that the story isn’t what they thought!

    So:

    “Firms and individuals in Sweden have been willingly overpaying their taxes. The excess cash from that accounts for almost half of the country’s Skr85bn budget surplus. Professor Lars Calmfors from the Institute for International Economic Studies at Stockholm University explains what’s behind it and why the Swedish government considers it to be a problem. “

    Clearly the Swedes are so virtuous that they fling money at the state, just like the BBC would like us to do.

    But it turns out that citizens and companies can pay money into a tax account in advance of their tax assessment and if they overpay the money is refunded – plus 0.5% interest. At the moment the Swedish economy is so screwed that companies get paid negative interest on their deposits in banks and ordinary citizens get zero interest.

    So far fom being altrustic socialists the Swedes are ‘looking out for number one’ and getting the best return for their money.

    What is even more crazy about this story is that the BBC presenter, Lesley Curwen, having listened to this explaination still can’t understand why Swedes should do such a crazy thing and doubts whether we, (bigoted, racist, xenophobic, europhobic, far-right, uneducated, ‘loads of money’ etc.), Brits would ever go for such a scheme! Pay me 0.5% BBC and I might just pay the TV tax in advance!

    P.S. The big problem of paying this interest works out as a massive £2.5 per person per annum, except that the Swedes have now dropped the rate to zero.

        Despite the case being effectively closed, it reared its head again on Nov 7 when a report on the libertarian blog Heat Street, by the former British MP and anti-Trump campaigner Louise Mensch, revealed the FBI may have obtained a FISA order during their inquiries.

        Mrs Mensch’s report, based on information from counter-intelligence sources, also suggested the warrant covered any “US person” connected to the investigation, which potentially could include Mr Trump himself.”

    I’m not a conspiracy theorists BUT : BBC4 just had a Swedish film The Hunt
    where the suspected child rapist is white,
    where the horrible white mob behave despicably to him, like killing his dog, and beating the guy.

    ..We as viewers know all along there was no attack on the child. She was took against him cos he told her off the one time she tried to kiss him, for being kind, he told her that was the wrong thing to do and should never do that again. Later the teachers could see the child is angry. But this then escalated when the school and psychologist made a mess of finding why the guy had made her angry ..asking a lot of leading questions the child just said yes to.
    ..Is that supposed to say “white women are stupid” ?

    Now was it a coincidence that this film that portrays white people as stupid and frothing mob, was repeated today (It’s been on years before) ??
    …Trump spoke on Feb 18/19, but a date specific Google search shows this film was not mentioned on the BBC schedule this year before Feb 23rd.

    Does this mean the public need to keep an eye out for dubious-looking Frenchmen whistling the La Marseillaise whilst making nocturnal deliveries by bicycle to lock-up premises ? Should we report apparently scheming groups of striped-shirted gallic-speaking plotters conspiritorially huddled in a group at the local Starbucks? Ought we to report large orders of fertiliser, when the order is coupled with a request for strings of onions ?

    Of course not. The label ‘far-right’ is a smear designed to attack Le Pen’s party. Her economic policies are rather left wing. But she is somewhat anti-EU which tends to upset the BBC.

    As for terror threats here in the UK we can tell the bias at a glance by the fact that the very real threat from Irish Dissident Republicans is not mentioned.

      Excellent comment AISI. The BBC is treating us like fools. It has been waving this spectre of ‘the far Right’ at us for years without a shred of evidence to support it.
