Stew,
I wonder how many Beeboids have a degree in maths, let alone statistics ?
Modern degrees ain’t worth squat or diddly. The bar is set so very low these days for reasons of financial expedience.
“ah but 97%”
facepalm
I’m pleased that May is seeking an election in June, she should have pulled the trigger on Labour long before this (IMHO) in fact there should have been a general election after the cowardly Etonian jiggered off when he lost the referendum and she became leader. There was plenty of time to have gotten it out of the way – they’ve only just triggered Article 50 for goodness sake! And there wouldn’t have been all this posturing from the Reamainiacs in the HoC and HoL that we’ve had.
I expect her and the Tories to win with a big majority: she can then negotiate with the EUscum in possession of a strong mandate from the British people, backing a Conservative Brexit manifesto, and without looking over her shoulder at those Tory Remoaners like Soubry or those in Liebour, LibDumbs and ScottishNazs seeking to make mischief; the government won’t need to rely on any other party to get legislation through the HoC, even if there are some rebels in the Parliamentary Conservative Party who would vote against their own government.
The Conservatives will also be able to implement policies such as new grammar schools and ditch the Camerloon / Osborne guff from the current (inherited) manifesto, much of which presumed we’d vote to stay in the asylum.
I thought her speech outside No 10 was good, it laid down the reasons why she felt compelled to go the country – which are plain for anyone to see. If she plays her cards right, she could be a +10 year PM – anyone who thinks that Labour’s problems will go away with the post electoral defeat and defenestration of Comrade ‘C’ are sadly mistaken, that party’s malaise has been long in the gestation and is possibly (hopefully) terminal.
The Lib Dums will go back to being a protest party – their new hobby horse being to take us back into the EU (good luck with that Tiny Tim). The SNP are just in Scotland and even if they won every seat up there, Krankie can’t stop anything if the government gets a solid majority and Treeza will find ways to put the Krank under pressure I’m sure.
It appears, sadly, that UKIP were a Panzerfaust – the single use weapon which got us a referendum and helped in it being won, but with Nigel gone they have no one of his ilk to replace him, but then no other parties have someone like him either – a true political giant and a very, very, rare specimen indeed.
Al,
Excellent post. Agree with it all, especially the last bit about Nigel. In a class of his own. We have lost almost a year to fannying about.
I hope their will be a major reshuffle, getting rid of any cabinet remainers who are not toeing the line.
Corbyn will have to go but probably replaced with someone just as useless.
Diane Abbott is a shoe-in.
There’s all manner of cr@p they could select a leader from: Abbott; Thornberry; Benn; Jarvis etc but none of it will matter a damn, enough of its traditional supporters have rumbled Labour (finally), the party of and for: ethnic minorities; immigrants; immigration and welfare dependents.
It will, I think, be a very long time before Labour can pose a serious challenge and get an overall majority sufficient to form a government on their own.
The problem with a general election is that it “strengthens parliamentary sovreignty” when essentially parliament is for remain. Will the Tories be replacing MPs who voted remain with those who are really pro-Brexit? What about Tory MPs in remain constituencies? Brexit may be inevitable but if May wins she has electoral backing to make all kinds of concessions to connive at a Brexit in name only. The BBC News was blurbing almost immediately after the announcement “Vote Libdem Stay in the EU”
May did well by triggering article 50 before calling an election though.
Labour must be fecked, they have eight weeks to sort themselves and a manifesto out and that will be mainly infighting.
Hasn’t Corbyn also said he is in favour of BREXIT,so he will have to put that on his manifesto, which will lose him votes to the Lib Dems?
We now need loads of Scottish Brexiteers to vote Tory.
Don’t forget that UKIP came second in a lot of Labour consituencies. I wouldn’t write them off yet – even without the Nigel (pbuh).
The BBC is required to be impartial during election campaigns .Given the Remoaner view that impartiality during the referendum allowed the Leave side to tell huge lies and this swung the vote, it will be interesting to see how partial to the Remoaner parties the BBC dares to be. If the Tories win a significant majority on a Brexit manifesto then it is likely that we really will leave the EU on terms that most of us who voted Leave will be more or less happy with. So for the Remoaners the election is existential, either deny the Tories a decent majority or the game is up.
If the Tories do win a decent majority, fifty plus, and if the BBC has not been impartial , then the time to deal with the over mighty corporation has finally come. There would be no point being a closet Tory Remoaner MP, the game is over, so the logic for them must be to concentrate on keeping your seat at the next election and so getting rid of the most powerful weapon in the Liberal left arsenal , the BBC, would make sense. After all the BBC will have been seen by all those who voted Leave as flouting their charter and trying to undermine the will of the people. There would never be a better time to crush the BBC than after a victory in the forth coming GE. Just DO IT.
Make it our duty to use the BBC complaints procedure for every BBC bias(regarding the election) we see in the next 8 weeks.

Well, if we follow the US, even a conclusive majority vote will not shut them up, it’s so become a way of life for many – outrage and fear.
Silverman’s public baby tantrum over Trump’s Tax Returns, Goldberg’s vileness over Trump’s wife – that’s how it is and how it’ll stay. Can you really see the, ‘Now Show’ changing the ‘repeat/delete’ setting?
Amusing or very sad – the Democrats still pushing for votes and violent protests against Trump, the racist !!!?, sexist !!!?, divisive friend of Russia !!!?
I forgot to add that sadly I don’t expect that TM the PM will do anything to rein in the BBC, even if she wins a landslide and they have been outrageous in their anti Tory anti Brexit bias. She ,like so many other Tories ,seems in awe of the foul corporation. Either that or , even after Brexit , the Tories want to maintain the BBC because they must at some level share the same ideals. Perhaps mass immigration and Islamification are the key long term goals of both organisations.
Doublethinker
“Perhaps mass immigration and Islamification are the key long term goals of both organisations.”
Here is reminder of Carmoron’s Tory promise at the last general election…….
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-pledges-to-control-and-reduce-immigration
I will of course be voting , Conservative. I hardly ever watch anything from the BBC , now except the odd programme on BBC 4 . Have DAB , so I can avoid any BBC output, totally.
Greetings Essexman – Where you bin ? Ditched your Telly Tax ?
He’s been holed up somewhere keeping his head down with his pal Camerloon I expect.
Anyone seen Ken Clarke or Anna Soubry ?
Has Al Beeb interviewed them yet? 😉
Will they still fight Brexxxxxxxxit ?
taffy,
They are too busy, frantically trying to decide what to do !
Grant
You mean stay as Tory MPs or Stay in the EU?
Or even become, dare I say it, Libtards or Welsh Nationalists ?
Worse still BBC TV Presenters.
taffy,
Or see if they can do both ?
KC may well retire. I know he’s not popular on here but he’s been consistent on the EU all his career. So you can’t accuse him of opportunism . His constituency voted remain. Ken did sterling service fighting public sector unions under Thatcher. A good chancellor under Major. Soubry is a different kettle of fish. Untrustworthy, lightweight and probably conspiring with centire left labour and lib dems. Broxtowe constituency party should deselect her . If not UKIP should put up a good candidate to poach Tory votes .
That’s a very fair comment, Engl.
At least he stuck by a few things we thought were right, except that the decision to leave the EU stuck in his craw.
Mind you, he can piss off now and leave the new world to people who really do matter.
BBC Website ” 12 Times PM got job without an election “. And guess what ? 9 of the times were Tory !
Grant
As Michael Caine used to say, not a lot of people (at the BBBC at least) know that:
Only THREE Labour party leaders have won general elections since WWII – Attlee, Wilson and Blair.
Whereas Conservative party leaders – Churchill, Eden, MacMillan, Heath, Thatcher, Major, Cameron won elections.
The only Conservative Prime Minister who failed to win a subsequent GE after his predecessor left office mid-term is Alec Douglas Home. Eden, MacMillan and Major all won the elections after they assumed office. Both the Labour PMs who “inherited” the post, Callaghan and Brown, failed when they went to the country.
I expect May will remain PM after the June GE, maintaining the tradition that the country gives fledgling Conservative PMs a chance at their first GE; not good news for the BBBC.
Just listening to Eddie Mair on radio 4 pm. A vicious tirade against interviewee Amber Rudd, not my favourite Tory but she’s dealing with him well . Essentially Mair’s line is that having a General Election and a Government wanting a bigger majority is anti democratic . He doesn’t like the May statement that parliament is divided. Of course May was referring to Brexit in which instance she is correct, both Houses are full of remainers. Mair ignores this and tries to portray May as Erdogan.
So the BBC is showing its bias very early in the campaign . Who will Corbyn and Sturgeon ( who really does want a one party state) be compared to ?
EE,
Yes, heard it on my toilet radio. Mair – free, fair, impartial and wishing he was Russell Brand.
Yes, we have already seen the embedded Trotskyists at the BBC coming out of the woodwork to attack May and they will not even try to hide their support
for Corbyn. Labour do not even have to have election broadcasts. The BBC’s
editors, sub editors, reporters, researchers will do Labours bidding for them.
And also the ridiculous Laura K squealing ‘Why have you changed your mind’ about a dozen times!
Why can’t bbbc ‘reporters’ become more intelligent as they get older?
There are plenty of ways to ask a question, not just gibber away.
Seems Laura is again speaking for a nation of Brendas, as only a tv bubble head can…
Beebies want Islam and Labour – mutually exclusive and neither would do them any good whatsoever.
Said it before but the bbc shares with IS the nihilism.
If anything comes out of this election please please reduce the SNP MPs, reduce Minor Fart’s MPs to 0 and Labour to be also totally 0.
I can’t believe me, as a traditional Labour voter can think such a thing but these new Labour champagne socialists are doing my head in! May gets my vote.
I think that many of the Labour supporters who voted Leave, will vote Conservative at the GE; to ensure the UK government can negotiate from a strong position and to ensure Brexit gets done.
There are also many of them who realize that Corbyn et al would be a catastrophe for our country and a LibLab coalition government would be even worse and these may just not bother to vote.
How to spin politics ?
Get one Al Beeb presenter to interview another Al Beeb presenter. Simples !
Furthermore your Telly Tax pays two wages.
Given that there are rules about Election expenditure, why does someone not report the £4bn a year that the bBBC spends supporting Labour to the Electoral Commission?
Telly tax is a debt if you pay it. Personally I don’t as the BBC don’t warrant paying a licence fee for drivel.
Can anyone else see this happening courtesy of the snap general election:
Labour & Conservatives lose seats
Lib Dems gain ‘suprisingly’ large no of seats
We’re told by the media and political elite this shows people no longer want Brexit
A coalition is formed (cons + lib dems) on condition of a 2nd EU referendum on Brexit deal
The country votes to reject Brexit deal
We remain in the EU and life goes on…
The elite win yet again while liberals believe it was all thanks to people power.
We go back to the EU with a begging bowl? We embrace open borders, the Euro etc? Never in a million years.
anonjoebloggs – No.
Jeremy Corbyn is ” quietly confident that I can become Britain’s next Prime-Minister.”
Undoubtedly.
And then he’s going in for the Mr Universe contest…
Not forgetting, of course, the competition for “Britain’s Best Dressed Man”.
John Steed had better be on his guard ……
And he’s also got a good shout in winning “Britain’s Ugliest Ex-girlfriend Competition”
Al give a chap a break! – Many of us have had a “beer goggle” moment in the past. Fortunately it stays where it belongs in the past.
Imagine how everyones favourite little Trot must feel having to be reminded of it on a daily basis every time he goes to the office!
Oak, I still dream of a beer goggle…
Whatever happened to them…
All the ‘newz’ channels are the same, all busy highlighting their liberal lobotomies.
Soon to be unemployed St Nick will pop up soon with his liberal wisdom no doubt, any chance Abbot will lose her seat.
The BBC are bringing out all their ‘some people think’ rhetoric, utterly shameless khunts.
I will have to skip that programme about Trump at Studio 54 on Radio 4 tonight. The blurb says lots of naughty people used to go there; no doubt they will wheel out loads of lefty, totally unbiased people who used to frequent the establishment and say Trump used to hang out with some evil people.
When name calling and making stuff up has not worked, why not scrape the barrel with guilt by association? And not even recent association. He might have spoken to someone terrible 40 years ago, so he is evil.
Thus prompted, I have just read the blurb on the programme on the R4 schedule. Well, well, up to now the BBC hadn’t tried to manufacture a Mob connection in their fake news smear campaign against President Trump. So they thought they might as well try it, to see if anything sticks. What a despicable organisation the BBC is.
BBC Easter Resurrection poll FakeNews
A detailed analysis
“non-active Christians don’t believe the same thing as active Christians on the Resurrection.”
But the BBC mixed them up together.
Well, it seems the BBC can always rely on citizens like good ol’ ‘Brenda’ to sour the snap general election mood… anyone else sense the BBC are furious that TM has called the election and is therefore wheeling out every polling ‘expert’ and remoaner possible to paint the most negative vibe? I ‘wonder’ why? Could it be that they are petrified their beloved comrade and dear leader Jeremy Dustbyn and his useless sidekick Abbot will vanish like farts in the wind?
Anyway. I give you ‘Brenda’ the BBC’s new voice of the people.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39631693
I hope that as many of our fellow subjects as old Brenda and all the rest, are so fed up that they don’t trouble themselves to vote at all in June; the fewer of them that do the better.
The fewer of them that do: the more damaged the Labour party will be. It’s a win – win.
Sorry Brenda…
And this guy is Teflon.
Earlier they scoured May’s Maidenhead constituency for negative soundbites, then did likewise in Birmingham. For some reason the Birmingham soundbites were not broadcast but helpfully summarised by their local correspondent as “fears for a hard Brexit which will create racial tensions even though they are not EU citizens”. Thanks for that fair and impartial summary, Beeb, we will of course take your word for it!
Nick clearly gunning for the Jasmine Lawrence Twitter badge:
BBC series expected to be a happy refugee story … oops
New episode Episode 23: Things have unravelled 17 April 2017
After spending time in Germany “I didn’t realise life was better in Syria”
The husband has left his family of 5 children and gone back to the refugee camp.
In the prog they say the family has split up cos he cannot stand the cultural differences : the way his children have a gay friend etc.
… hmm I wonder if it maybe cos that Germany turns out not to be the playboy’s paradise that Syrian/Muslim men expect it to be.
Family mentions 7,000 Syrian families getting divorced and talk about the father being upset that he hadn’t expected his children to becomes like Germans, he just expected them to learn German and get good jobs.
You can quickly see the 2 years story on BBC ManveenRana’s timeline
Detailing their journey from the safety of Turkey .. dingies across to Europe and their travel thru all the countries to Germany and “a better life”.
* Hey I notice the BBC webpage uses that phrase acknowledging they after Turkey they are economic migrants.
Very interesting, should be used as a public information video for would be migrants to Europe. Interesting that fleeing from war was not mentioned. They clearly came to Europe in a dangerous way, for a better economic life for their family – ok, but come the legal way. Also interesting to hear from the horse’s mouth that they find it hard to integrate, especially the mature males!! Something we are not allowed to say openly. Strange old world eh!
Stew,
“Happy Refugees”
RT did a piece on a Syrian family a few months back, the father wanted to return to Syria. His reason? He had to work too hard (long hours) & his kids were becoming too Westernised at school. Ungrateful b*$terd!! I thought.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39629808
How strange it is to see the double standards applied by the Biased BBC when the things which ordinary people complain about – and are called every ism & phobia they can cook up, happens to one of their presenters.
So poor old crim Shanique Syrena Pearson who had something of a minor spat with poor tremulous Jeremy Vine has been sent to prison. Is it ’cause I is Black?’ no Shanique, it’s because the man you argued with is a complete Leftie snowflake who doesn’t apply the same standards to himself as he applies to other people.
She was also convicted of driving without reasonable consideration
She had admitted driving an unlicensed vehicle.
.. She was already on a suspended sentence
….. So jail time would be expected.
…….. but she’s a single mother…. so the kid gets punished as well
I guess she’s a bit mentally ill.
If it had been you or I she would never have ended up in court at all!
You wouldn’t normally expect to end up in prison for such trivial motoring offences, and the suspended sentence has not been triggered.
“driving an unlicensed vehicle.” trivial ?
Stew,
What is amazing is that she wasn’t jailed for the previous offences. Definitely not fit to be a mother.
unlicensed is simply untaxed, so yes it’s not exactly a hanging offence !
Can you think of anyone ever being sent to prison for not paying the VED / Car Tax ?
Here here Thoughtful… I remember this one although I’m surprised she felt the full force of the law as she has the “credentials” that usually make her exempt. This is becoming like a game of top trumps whereby refugee trumps black person but refugee gets trumped by bBBC presenter who gets trumped by imam who gets trumped by mohammed who gets trumped by winged horse who…….. haha!
On a more serious note and one for the trolls… that case on the croydon asylum attackers has gone extremely cold… an uncomfortable truth?
“gone extremely cold”….?
It’s gone friggin’ invisible!
RE: Trump programme on Radio 4 tonight.
They had a similar thing on the other week when they detailed some of the loonie theories of that nutjob Alex Jones, then played the clip of Trump appearing on his show and saying he liked him and respected how many followers he had. Nothing substantive: just a load of innuendo and guilt by association. Who has not associated with dodgy people at some point? Especially politicians who have to try and please everyone. Jack Straw shook Mugabe’s hand! The BBC employed Jimmy Savile for God’s sake!
And they act all indignant when he bars them from the press gaggle? And they are still at it?
Would they run a programme about Obama’s pastor, the America hating man who married him? Or something about how all the donations to the Clinton Foundation have mysteriously dried up now she has not won the election? Of course not.
Unfair, expensive and partial.
It’s like that, seems to be the Time article I posted earlier.
Done the Cohn bit ..making it seem that Cohn was convicted when actually wasn’t ..”fought to the end”
Studio 54 hardly mentioned after first 2 minutes
Did have a “black woman” speaking for 1 min saying Trump did a lot for NY ..”cleaned up all these streets”
.. Negative story #1 : Claims Trump said he blew up some art statues to save a day of construction labour.
.. Negative story #2 : Claims Trump underpaid Polish construction workers and it went to court
Wasn’t it the contractors rather than Trump ?
Jesus it was 1978 ..
http://openjurist.org/974/f2d/270/diduck-v-kaszycki-and-sons-contractors-inc
Prog ended .. no strong evidence
..It was just a vehicle for sneering at Trump.
Bloody hell, just got in from work and now heard about the election. My first thoughts – is she going to throw it to ensure that enough Lab/LibDem/SNP get in to ensure the weakest Brexit possible?
I’m finding it hard to credit that she’s turned into Iron Lady Mk II all of a sudden.
i share your worries of a great betrayal
The experts are predicting a Tory win, maybe they are right.
But I suggest that this will be determined by Labour losing, by over exposure of Diane Abbot, backed by Momentum, Left Unity, and the black masked thugs of the Antifa.
Really, is Treezer the kind of person to win an election, tower over her opponents, fill large halls and stadiums with enthusiastic supporters?
She has recognised her lack of charisma and wisely decided to stay away from a TV debate
Treezer is no Donald Trump, she is not even a Hillary Clinton.
She needs Corbyn, Abbott, the loony Greens and that funny little man whose name escapes me, who is leader of the Lib Dems.
As said, Parties don’t ‘win’ – it’s just that the others ‘loose’ and the least worst option is the Tories.
I wasn’t a contributor to this site at the last election, but Guido and a few others were very important in the support for sensible politics, and making sure that loonie lefties and greenies were put out in the cold.
So this site has to be the antidote to the Bbbc even more from now on, and every incident of biased nonsense cobbled up in LanghamStrasse has to be demolished at every turn!
You know it makes sense!
BbcFakeNews : “Yukon River vanishes”
You know that the BBC uses clickbait link headlines which are different from news-stories ?
Link-Headline
Actual headline : Slims River: Climate change causes “river piracy” in Canada’s Yukon
There’s quite a big difference between THE mighty Yukon River and “A river in the Yukon”
BBC Radio 4 shortly after the 9 pm brief news, today 18/4/2017.
A continuity announcer (male, with what I take to be a mild Welsh accent) is promoting a BBC natural history prog’ which is to have a piece about some creature that kills ruthlessly and silently (or some such description to get you interested). Now for the punchline. Drum roll … He says words to the effect of “no, not some world leader with funny hair, but …” and names the creature. I can’t remember what and it won’t be on i-player. So, even in a (not funny) throwaway continuity remark, the anti-Trump drumbeat is maintained or at least echoed or suggested. They might have been referring to the North Korean leader, at a push, but they would of course never have made a joke of this sort about Obama.
I hate the f^(king BBC.
DELENDA EST BBC
Eight weeks we will now have to put up with Labour and Lib Dem supporters whining about everything!
I know it’s not BBC but am I the only person in the country who thinks Broadchurch was a load of man-hating old shite? If only we too could be decent, intelligent, civilised, non-violent human beings instead of all being abusive, lying, cheating scumbags – eh chaps?
More like Eastenders-on-Sea than anything half decent.
Sadly y’know, its the way that chaps are ‘built’ that make them capable of rape in a way that us ladies cannot ! so you will always be vilified; But I do agree, it was an unsatisfactory ending – in fact I don’t think that Miller’s husband did kill Danny boy, he pleaded not guilty and was acquitted. I reckon he was covering up for their shifty eyed son ! so there.
I am amazed that people watched it. Poor plotting and completely unrealistic. Startrek -the first series- was more convincing.
I don’t need to see anything under the heading of ‘Mainstream British TV Drama’ to know immediately that it’ll be a load of man-hating old shite. The simplistic left-wing tropes run through them all like a seaside stick of rock.
It’s not entertainment, or art – just social conditioning. It’s as if every BBC/ITV/Channel 4 producer/director has only ever understudied Ken Loach.
I stick to the American or foreign stuff on Netflix. A lot of those programs are left wing too but at least they aren’t as blatantly insulting. And the acting isn’t an embarrassment.
In 2010 the BBC clearly promoted the Lib Dem cause as the only hope of preventing a Tory win Vince Cable was an economic guru hardly off the air.
Strangely in 2015 the Lib Dems barely got a mention as Labour were the ones going to stop the Tory majority.
One suspects there is some serious head scratching going on at W1A 1AA as to who they will be supporting this time. Probably back to the ilLiberal unDemocrats.
I know cuts are hurting at the BBC. John Pinnear appeared on the 10pm BBC1 News wearing a borrowed waiter’s jacket that was at least one size too small. Presumably the BBC didn’t run to buying him a new one.
The voters are actually going to be asked if they want the following:
Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister
John MacDonnell as Chancellor
Diane Abbott as Home Secretary Stop laughing……
Emily Thornberry as Foreign Secretary She loves the English.
It is not a joke, Labour are actually fielding those candidates.
Theresa May cannot believe her luck. A more useless opposition front bench you could not hope to find.
The mauling Labour will receive at the ballot box is going to be embarrassing.
I’ve just sat through the crap fest whilst shouting at the TV that was the extended BBc 22:00 news. Wow the BBc have not completely solidified it’s damage limitation policy. They seem to be throwing everything at it from voter fatigue (so many elections in such a short time ….WTF) to elections are an unpredictable thing. Several interviews with “random” members of the public I particularly liked the genius in a bar telling us that this whole left, right thing is a bit out of date.Oh well several weeks of this to look forward to, oh happy day.
Dave
The BBBC know that Labour will be mauled. If they thought otherwise they would be saying “bring it on”.
They wanted the GE delayed as long as possible to allow Labour to regroup under a new leader; now it’s too late and Labour will have to run the campaign under Worzel Dustbyn’s leadership. Unless a lorry malfunction takes out his bicycle..
Ooh sorry, mustn’t give anyone ideas!
You will have seen Kuenssberg screeching and squealing at the PM from 10 yards away: “How many times are you going to change your mind, Prime Minister?”. She’s like a devoid-of-talent sixth former who has somehow managed to get herself put in charge of editing the school magazine.
She’s an embarrassment to ‘reporting’ that one.
What on earth is wrong with someone deciding to do something else, clearly on advice from others close by!
If that’s all the bBBC have to offer by way of serious interview then the next few weeks of their bias will be an utter bore, even more than it is now.
BBC London news at 2250.
In the light of the GE announcement, bBBC do a vox pop …….in a kebab shop in Hammersmith!!!!! A Labour seat. Guess what? Everyone supports Labour. But also guess what? None of those interviewed is English, they all speak with clearly foreign accents and speak only semi-comprehensibly. And they get a vote ????
So as usual, a totally impartial, agenda free report from our esteemed state broadcaster which is clearly already supporting Corbyn.
OT, but I am intrigued by the process that brings a sponsored post to my Facebook feed.
Almost every one is some sadly deluded bunch suggesting I join them supporting an even more deluded bunch. Scientists for Remain, The Economist on why Trump is smelly… Etc.
And now, ‘Brtish Muslims For Labour’. Why? They have the BBC.
No comments enabled. Given current legislation, probably a good thing.
“Brtish Muslims For Labour” The day is not too far off when the BMs having realised they have hitched their camel to a bunch of no chancers, cuts its bridle and form their own koranderthal only party. We’ll see some “diversity” then all right!
Guest Who, I regularly get Facebook ads for ‘Muslim Dating’, with displays of Levantine lovelies wanting to get to know me (at least I assume they’re lovelies, from what little I can see of them behind their burkhas and hijabs). I assume they’ve picked up that I’m on a dating site and that I write about muslims a lot, and have somehow added two and two together and made five. In a way it’s reassuring that Big Brother online bots are still of such limited intelligence.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4422714/1-killed-2-hurt-shooting-downtown-Fresno-California.html
Not going to be seen on a TV near you in the next 6 weeks, (or ever if the bbc can manage it)
Another lone wolf no doubt.
In a statement on Facebook, the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno condemned the attack, saying: “The phrase Allahu Akbar, or God is Great, is a prayer of peace for 1.8 billion Muslims around the world.”
Which is why they all shout it while gunning concert-goers down, or lopping people’s heads off.
Tells you a lot about the Muslim notion of “peace”.
It’s not fair
on the Labour Tower Hamlets lot etc.
cos it doesn’t give them much time to organise fiddling the postal ballots.
StewGreen – don’t knock Tower Hamlets. Their council is so well organised that just two hours after the date of the GE was announced by Mrs May, they had already declared their election results!

In Al Beeb’s words this would be ‘divisive’?
A majority of the people of Great Britain voted to come out of the EU. Westminster does not. It is totally out of touch with the ordinary people of the nation – There is the division !
Why does Al Beeb push hard to stop Brexxxxit ? Stand by for more of Al Beeb’s propaganda and bias.
Anyone out there think they have some evidence of Al Beeb’s right wing bias ?
Now a General Election is coming we need something to unite us all together afterwards and here it is… BBCs favourite Brendan Cox:
The first tweet from Robin Vyrnwy-Pierce who calls himself “Journalist, poet, author, socialist. British” is a beauty…
Brendan, let us hope the decent, ordinary people of Britain remember Jo when they cast their votes.
We need a Labour government.
Let’s do it
So I guess the non-decent non-ordinary people don’t have to remember Jo and are free to vote for who they like?
So BBBC has set out it’s stall for the election.
LK miffed she has no idea it was coming.
Pound crashes on rumour.
Election to be a yawn at least in Bristol.
Stock market crashes(small note that Pound roars ahead).
Liberals to be country’s saviours.
What no Prime time debate so we can rubbish the Tories.
barry69,
FT 100 at an all-time high 1 month ago. Only down 2.5 % yesterday. I predict it will stabilise soon and maybe even go back up.
US gunman kills three ‘in race attack’

Article states he shouted ‘God is great’ in Arabic. That would be Allahu Ackbar….say it bBBC! Takes less space. This incident is being discussed tonight on Fox – one comment was that a hate crime is just a small terrorist event. This was in response to the California police stating that terrorism was not suspected.
So glad that the bBBC has enlightened us on some of the issues with the Algerian election. The cynic in me thinks it’s an excuse to show more hijabs.

Finally
Trump order to target foreign worker visa programme

I am astounded that the American people let this go on for so long! Absolutely jaw dropping. The USA might welcome immigrants, but it ships them in by the million, supports them financially to some extent, so no surprise its economy is in a mess. Laugh out loud moment:
‘Mr Trump’s wife Melania used an H-1B visa in her early days as a model in New York, says the BBC’s Gary O’Donoghue in Washington’
BBC scraping the barrel.
Brexit, Trump and now for the coup de grace: Labour annihilated. Conservatives sort it out, whilst socialists screw things up. ‘Twas always thus and thus will always be.
The vox pops on the news are so annoying. If I wanted to get the opinion of some random moron who probably thinks General Election are a band, I would go to my local Wetherspoons.
“I would go to my local Wetherspoons.”
You’d probably get a drink and a good sandwich at this time of the morning too, BB; they know how to run a business properly!
Scrobbie,
Tim Martin for PM !
My brother has just moved to an affluent area. It really explodes the SJW myth propagated by the likes of the BBC that women are oppressed as there are more male than female CEOs. Many of the women here go to expensive coffee shops; have long lunches at classy restaurants; online purchases are constantly being delivered; they watch programmes recorded on their Sky boxes on massive televisions. Then men like my brother get back all stressed out from 12 hours of slog and responsibility; they have one hour to relax then they have to go back to the rat race to pay for everything.
Who is the oppressed party here? I am sure many men would love to swap roles but it is not an option for them.
As I recall, at least one BBC female exec owns one of said coffe shops, and has to bog off early to help run it. Not sure who covers for her at such times. Because she’s worth it.
“It was a really, really great idea to liberate women and send them to work while their kids go to a daycare center to be raised. I mean, everyone knows that they were oppressed for millions of years by being forced to raise their own kids so that men could have all the fun working.
But of course, there are going to be a few bad apples at the daycare center who will do permanent psychological damage to your children for fun. That’s the price of feminism and diversity.
But it’s a price we’re willing to pay.” Anon.
All so a tiny but vocal minority of lefty pricks get to feel good about themselves. And if you even attempt to discuss the issue in a grown-up way you get shouted down and denounced as a thought criminal.
‘War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength”
Question. Which religion is constantly challenging your thought process with this “ours is a religion of peace”. Often quoted by our mind numb politicians, yet it goes against their actions, and the teachings of their holey book!
