    A taster……
    “In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private”
    “Aiming his anger at Sadiq Khan, he went on – ‘Sadiq Khan says London is united with Manchester, but he does not condemn Islamic State, who have claimed responsibility.”
    “Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an ‘extremist’. An extreme what? An extreme rabbit ? “

      Do like Morrissey, most of the time. Like Grayson Perry, he does come up with some uncomfotable truths for his own side…whcih is rare in the Lefty liberal class.
      I knew someone who used to beat Morrissey up at school…not saying that`s good, but bet there`d be a book in Celebrity Bullies.

    Kushner ‘discussed secret line to Moscow’ – US media reports
    More copy and paste journalism from the bbc who appear to have become a UK subsidiary of the US media. 6 months since Trump was elected, 6 months of smears, leaks and general sour grapes but not a single arrest, not a single law suit. Amazing. The bbc just takes it all like mother’s milk.

      Having a back channel to Moscow is absolutely par for the course. All administrations since President Kennedy have known that the State Department leaks like a sieve, and cannot be trusted when really secret communications are required. There is nothing wrong or even unusual for the transition team to look into setting up such a back channel.

      I know this, the State Department knows this and the MSM must know it. They are the willing participants in a smear operation, and they wonder why they get shouted down at news conferences? It’s because you have forfeited your right to be treated as impartial journalists, you fools.

    Corbyn’s interview with Andrew Neil….

    It was one of the most alarming interviews I have ever seen.Corbyns habitual lying is disgraceful, denying to say he would commit to Trident, denying support for the IRA when the physical facts prove otherwise, blaming the UK for bringing terror to the streets, it went on and on..

    I may being over sensetive here but it puts the fear of God into me if the likes of Corbyn’s,Abbott, McDonnell and the rest of his gang get elected.

    Where is the coverage on the news channels regarding this alarming interview and it’s content….

    Am I the only one that found this interview shocking, I must have led a sheltered life..

    Toady programme 8.10ish this morning. Sopel sneering, as only he can, at Trump’s attempts to extract more money from our EU ‘friends’ to meet their NATO commitments, commitments honoured more in the breach than in the spirit.

    I can’t remember Al Beeb criticising Macaroon’s blatant rudeness in deliberately swerving away from Trump to greet Doktor Meerkat and other lesser dignitaries first. Nor ever a query from Al Beeb as to WHY our EU/NATO ‘friends’ don’t pay their way and are happy for the US, us and, all too rarely, France, to be the main contributors. Never a query as to how much more these non-payers, Germany particularly, can do to advantage themselves because of their failure to pay for their own protection.
    Then again, would I ever expect Al Beeb to make deep enquiry of anyone’s motives other than the Tories, Trump or UKIP.

      One minor point, Peter, on NATO subs, IIRC Germany did pay their way up until 1990 but were granted an exemption to help pay for re-unification of their country post-fall of Berlin Wall.

      BTW, EU Leavers are always accused of wanting to return to the past (unlike EU enthusiasts who constantly live in it) but would not a return to 1990 be blissful?

      We have not only squandered the ‘peace dividend’ since then but have also created a massive terrorist ‘overdraft’.

          Agreed. It was a slightly stupid proposition and supposition that ‘we let Germany off’ in that should the Ruskies invade, they – in western Germany – can sacrifice East Germany as a buffer zone.

          The fact is that we knew that the Russians were not going to invade. The Russians were a busted flush back then and all NATO spending should have been dialled back with the money returned to the taxpayers* and not kept by wasteful Government who squandered it. In fact, they even taxed us more (in the UK via supposedly AGW related Fuel Duties) so that in the mid to late-90s Clinton and Blair could waste vast amounts of fossil fuel flying round the globe to patrol a supposed ‘no-fly-zone’ over Iraq.

          That achieved a lot!

          (* BTW, had that strategy been followed, I wonder if the whole EU might have been in a rather more robust state economically? Perhaps 2007-2009 Bank crash and recession might have been avoided altogether?)

    I have written to the BBC to help them with a terrible quandary they are in. I think I have found a good euphemism for them .
    We have the “so called Islamic state.” But right now there is no term for the scum Islamic murdering terrorists. The BBC is going out of their way not to mention the word Islamic when referring to the atrocities. I Just watched “Newswatch” with Samira
    Ahmed and this was just about the most dumb downed episodes I have seen. I suppose the plethora of ethnic presenters
    at the BBC have to be protected from being upset if the word Islamic is mentioned.
    So I suggest the euphemism of ” Non Muslim terrorist attacks.” to be used to describe any more attacks by Muhammed
    and the gang. What do you think? Is this a good get out for the BBC?

      Foscari, good idea! There is probably a technical term for doing this but take the acronym MatG for Muhammed and the gang and call it Matgee. Sounds a bit Indian (as in Hindu/Sikh), so they will probably like that as it blames all people from ‘South Asia’ (more correctly either western Asia or central Asia) and deflects some blame from ….. .

    Most ‘interventions’ have been disastrous.

    From now on foreign policy should be based solely on national interest. And if no national interest is served, we do precisely nothing.

    BBC’s Jon Sopel tells us today that he and other media reporters can only report on the itinerary of President Trump’s recent foray out the White House. Starved of any salacious ‘news’ they are. Shame. Further down the pecking order this means that we cannot highlight the anti-Trump venom that exists for the current POTUS by the BBC. Perhaps, starved or US Presidential ‘News’, Sopel should be reassigned to study and report on Merkel’s criminal policies instead?

      Highly objectionable BBC this morning.

      “There has been a rise in Islamaphobic ‘attacks’ since the bombing on Monday night. The Muslim community has had to face this. After Jo Cox was murdered, the white English community were not blamed for her death.”

      No but I seem to remember that all of UKIP WAS blamed (its leader especially was named) and that the despicable Polly Toynbee accused all potential Leave voters in the following week’s Referendum of, in effect, being behind her death. Nobody available on the BBC to stand up for them – then or now – but then it does seem that the BBC and the Guardian are joined at the hip and therefore subscribe to those views.

      They are not really meant to have a view at the BBC. They should be strictly neutral..

        We were.
        Blamed and reviled, day in and day out.
        White trashy leaving fascists who killed Coxy.
        And it was less than a year ago, so we`ll know what the BBC and the broadsheets, lefties and Remainiacs were saying. We KNOW what they did-they weaponised a pointless death of a lefty nomark, albeit someones loved one…so this in no way condones the evil done to her and those who really knew and loved her. As opposed to using her corpse to shut us down.

        The murder of Cox was on a par with the murder of Alex Zito way back-a nutter off his meds, unable to get his pills the night before. Doubtless because the Batley polyclinic had shut up shop to campaign for the unions in making us stay in the EU a few hours early. Or maybe he overused his tablets and lost the cycle of self-medication. Who knows? The local library would also have had remainers sticking up posters-doubtless , the staff emplyed would have been doing the same to keep Jo in the EU.
        So we were all there-no “terrorist” at all, but who ever saw the Lefies as anything other that grief thieves and martyr makers in their cookie dusters. Horst Wessel, Harvey Milk, Pavlik Morosov and the Manchester 22 now…let alone, those long leases on the likes of the Dowler family and their poor kid Millie. This is the Left..this is the BBC.
        No-I was there, and know what they were doing in using a worthless unknown Labour suit as a sandbag to cover their evil tracks to keep us in the EU.

No mention of possible mental illness. The fact that he stabbed two interveners might indicate this? And…the women who were being verbally abused left before police could speak to them.

    I wonder if the imam at the Didsbury mosque is now one of the 23000? After seeing him lined up in civvies condemning the bombing we now see him in military fatigues in Libya. The man on question time who was given such short shrift by Dimbleby was undoubtedly truthful and sensible in his assessment of this mosque. The fact is that we cannot guess how many active, potential and supportive jihadis there are in this country. So many Muslims lie about their religion and their attitude to non Muslims and to violence. I would imagine that the slime pool from which future bombers and murderers will emerge is well above 23000.
    The fact is that the police and MI5 cannot cope with the scale of this problem. If we go on as we are and just peddle the BBCs message of hope and love, accept Corbyn’s lies about our foreign policy and tell people to carry on as normal while armed police patrol Scarborough beach, many more will be killed and we are in effect being interned ourselves . Or we can intern the worst of the 23000, start a deportation process for the whole lot over time, close down any mosque with even remote terror associations and regulate any practice of Islam in the UK – for a start. And please let’s not allow any more Muslims from war zones into the country commencing now.

      Poor article. Author supports Corbyn. Labour = good, Tory = bad. Then at end of the article, which of course only references Islamic terrorism and no comment made about that curious fact, the author mentions that: countries which have not intervened in affairs of Muslim countries still have terrorist attacks, and that there were attacks before foreign interventions. So argument is disproved.

    The Today team R4 was being unusually mendacious this morning.
    The parade muslim prosecutor from up north was lecturing us about “hate criming” the community from which muslim terrorists come. No one blames white people for the murder of Cox, because her murderer was white. No one ever claimed that. What was jumped on was the murderer supposedly shouting “Britain first”. Brexiteers, because they want an independent Britain, were accused of creating the atmosphere in which this murder was possible, post-Brexit spike in ” hate crime” etc. . Britain has been accused of being “a racist country” for decades. No one has ever said stop calling Britain racist, as it will make thosel white Britons who are not racist, racist. It has always puzzled me why millions of immigrants are so eager to settle in racist Britain. Surely, there are more welcoming places to go.
    No one blames christians for the KKK and its burning crosses. But homosexuals are always blaming christianity for the persecution of homosexuals. Didn’t one old grand pouffe de theatre tear pages from the bible on stage? He should try that with the koran. I don’t see the usual suspects making fine distinctions between christists and christians.

        It is likely that most countries have a class system
        But there are distinctive aspects of the British class system which are highlighted here.
        The main point is how certain aspects of the class system, the style of interviewing and disparaging working class people, n is widely seen in the UK media. The ex SAS man was making a valid point which was being obstructed with these affectations of superior class based knowledge.
        The video clearly displays an aspect of media bias of the kind you see in the BBC.

              One other thought occurred to me (at the risk of labouring the point). Class certainly plays a part in the attitude to the former SAS trooper, in the same way that it plays a part in the MSM’s attitude to people like Tommy Robinson. So far as our armed forces are concerned though, class is far from the only issue. The Left, and trendy liberals in the media generally, have little empathy with military folk of any rank. They’re either oiks or blimps, whose job is waging war and killing people.

      Now Owen is with his pals in the pro Islamic UAF supporting a counter demo to the one organized by Gays Against Sharia – who are meeting on the anniversary of the Orlando massacre that upset Owen so much that he walked out of the SKY studios.Now he opposes the gays who are marching in memory of gays slaughtered in Orlando.

    As I put on the 8.10 toast this morning-heard Justin Webbs introduction to a piece with Jon Sopel in regard of grading Trumps visit over here .
    Reader-am proud to say that as soon as he said what would be coming, I baled out pronto…so never heard it. But need I? Course not, who but themselves give a flying fart about what the BBCs opinion on Trumps talks to NATO or OIS etc would be.
    We KNOW what Webb and Sopel say…but why are they allowed airtime at our expense to lie aloud and “make assessment” of Trumps talks.
    Heard both of Trumps speeches live -brilliant and direct, Daniel in the Lions Den stuff, rictus grins from those made to hear it.
    Who the hell are Soapy Webb to “evaluate” what I heard with my own ears? Especially as the do Blue Peter cut and pastes to trash Trump and create Islamic Revolution and Ungoverneable Lefties like themselves.

    No-I heard Trump.
    As opposed to spitballs and blotting paper inkpats sent from the sniggering nannies boys lighting each others flatus at the back of the prep school dorm like Soapy Webb Minors.
    But we`re paying for this crap-school fees are way too high and these scumticks are pissing our largesse and blood donations up the walls. Wake up Britain!
    When two millionare fakirs like Webb and Soapy are let vent on things neither knows squat about-and we let them, more fool us innit?
    HOW DARE the BBC “ASSESS” the performance of the elected head of a friendly sovereign nation who never even set foot on these shores…who the fuck do the BBC think they are?…expect a seat at the U.N for these sappy limpdix if we don NOT do the world a favour and scuttle the bastards.

    In a way that sneering, mendacious muslim who has appeared – by one of the BBCs perennial coincidences – in QT and Big Question audiences, news interviews and all points east, along with a couple of threads on here, has done us a favour. Doesn’t he perfectly personify islam? Can’t you see the bastard, arse in the air five times a day, at one with his god, sniggering at the number of kuffars he has personally duped, deceived and dumped on? And all tax free, too.
    And our answer? That’ll be the ‘heavily armed police’, notebooks at the ready for potential hate crimes, strutting around looking hard, while wondering what the compo and sick leave might be for stress related shock if they were forced into the deeply anti-social experience of firing a gun.

    The one question the BBC never asks is “Where are all the fatwahs?”

    Westerners insulting the prophet can expect to be farwahised by some mullah somewhere.
    Everyone seems to have forgotten the Rushdie affair grand ayattollahs and ayatollahs falling over themselves to issue fatwahs. Rushie escaped with his life, but a devout muslim stabbed his Japaneses translator to desth.

    If jihadists are adhdrents of a “perversion of Islam”, where are all the fatwahs?
    That would be a great way for the scholars at the great Islamic universities, the mullahs and muftis, ayatolahs and imams to show how much they reject this insult to true muslims.

    Of course, there will be no “muslim excommunication” for “islamists” performing acts of terrorism, because “islamists” are faithful to the tenets of islam.

        Until recently, the public had been led to believe there were around 3,000 known jihadists in Britain, with 500 being subject to active investigations led by MI5.

        … Ban madrassa schools, and stop any school mosque visits for small children, and older unless objective fact about Islam its founder is relayed – no facts, no visit, it should be public policy to teach objective facts about Islam in every school anyway, that would allow children to question Islam with clarity

    “Gaddafi planned to flood Europe with migrants as final revenge
    People-traffickers were ordered to step up exodus 13 September 2011″

    Then there is an article dated 5th of May 5 months before Gadaffi died
    “On April 29, …, he delivered a speech on Libyan national TV.”
    “the words, which being snatched out of the context, may be assessed as a warning or even menace to Italy.”
    It then quotes words similar to the video but less dramatic
    “Now I have to say something to NATO. You are bombing a wall that was deterring criminals of Al-Qaeda.
    The wall blocking the avalanche of African migration to Europe.
    Because this wall is named Libya”

      There is a perfect opportunity now, to stop this madness, but by appointing an Islamic scholar as chair and placing two imams in advisory roles, by Sharia May the panel on the Sharia review has no ability to make an impartial assessment on women’s rights, security etc, and of course will be seriously compromised.
      The “narrow remit” of the review, has a totally misplaced focus on seeking out “best practice” among sharia councils rather than harsh scrutiny, questioning why they are not banned with immediate effect.?

    We’re aware of a video posted on Facebook which shows officers detaining and arresting a number of people in Taunton. While we welcome and expect public scrutiny when officers are out serving our communities, we also ask people not to jump to conclusions without knowing the full facts. At 5.29pm today we responded to a report a woman was being assaulted in Victoria Park.On arrival a large group of young people refused to co-operate with officers and five people between the ages of 15 and 34 were subsequently detained on suspicion of affray. The 18-year-old assault victim we were originally called to assist is currently in hospital receiving treatment for a number of injuries. An investigation is now underway and we’d ask people not to speculate while it takes place. Body worn video was worn by officers during the incident and will be reviewed as part of the inquiry. We expect the highest level of professionalism and diligence from all our officers and staff when on duty.

    Also, Professor Mark Carey published a paper arguing that “a critical but overlooked aspect of the human dimensions of glaciers and global change research is the relationship between gender and glaciers” and introducing “feminist glaciology” to the scientific equation.

    NONE of this is to mock the poor dead women and kids up there-they happen to be in heaven not paradise…where no Muslim bomber would ever go. But it IS to point out Islamic theological arguments that any white hating, woman hating ,joy hating twat for Allah would be happy to have with you.

      I would like to hear the great Andrew Neil -defender of all things Islamic – taking the piss out of a Mayor London who believes in flying horses, a Satan who farts when he prays, and all the other bollox as well as their inhumanity.

      But that would be racist.

        I couldn’t agree more.

        islam is by any standards an absolutely retarded religion. It is a mixture of half-understood parts of the Bible, together with some of the pagan practices of Mecca, such as worshipping the moon and a meteorite, all devised by a 7th century version of Citizen Smith.

        No sane person would give a toss about such a deranged pile of garbage, and that is why its followers resort to violence with such sickening regularity. Faced with a belief system which cannot be defended in any rational way, the path of violence and terror is really all they have.

        islam advanced at the point of a sword, because if they had ever tried to win converts by explaining the religion, people would have rolled on the floor laughing. They really don’t like being laughed at, because somewhere, deep down, they must realise that the whole thing is insane and indefensible.

      ” the polls have a historic bias to Labour you will be delighted to hear!”

    I think that Islamisists regard Europe as Paradise, but are then disappointed at all the ethnics in Inner City shitholes.
    So then they regard Britain as Paradise, but are then disappointed by all the ethnics in Inner City shitholes.
    So only then do they consider suicide as the root to Paradise.

    I blame Bob Geldof. He gives them the impression that Britain is a hideously white paradise, and regards it as awfully cruel to force ethnics to live in appallingly awful foreign shitholes, teaming with millions of Wogs and Nigers, without any white people to look after them, give them jobs or feed them.

    Ian Duncan Smith has just been interviewed on TV regarding Corbyn’s links with the IRA and has insisted
    Corbyn owes all service men and women who served during the troubles an oppology and that includes the families who lost loved ones or were injured.

    As an ex soldier myself who spent 4 years in total in Ireland doing various tours I find the idea that a potential leader of this country was in cahoots with the IRA disgraceful and sickening.

    Corbyn and his Marxist mate McDonnell have something to hide. He says his only reason for talking to the IRA was to broker peace but that has proven to be a lie.People who were involved in the talks have recently made it quite clear he was not involved in any form of peace talks.

    What did McDonnell once say ” the IRA must be commended for there bombing and shooting campaign because it brought the government to the negotiating table “, fucking outrageous. Both these men I believe have something to hide and if it’s found out that they were encouraging the IRA to continue with the troubles to better there political belives and needs then they should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

    I genuinely believe both these men have blood on there hands either with there support for the IRA or Hamas..

    Come on the Police dig deep and investigate…

    Just saw the BBC News Channel film review…

    1. Pirates of the Caribbean – “boring, same thing for the 5th film”
    2. Baywatch the movie – “boring, OK if it was a TV special”
    3. Finnish subtitled film about a Syrian refugee – “brilliant, it shows the amazing friendships that form between locals and refugees, perfect family viewing, highly recommended”

    I think only the weather forecast is exempt from having the BBCs political viewpoint rammed down our throats.

    I know the students inside Al Beeb think Corbyn is the Messiah (Islamic equivalent obviously) and can do no wrong, but the Tories are making it easy for the. Their election campaign is absolute crap.
    No defence of the market economy, no attacks on Corbyn’s marxist economics, no attack on the pacifists, no mention of strong defence, sound money, managed migration etc etc. Corbyn has successfully moved the debate on from Brexit and the gullible and entitlement class just love the promises of billions of money tree goodies to be spent on them. May sounds underwhelming and neither strong nor stable. Meanwhile some of the Tory heavy hitters seem to be confined to barracks.
    Have Corbyn’s buddies infiltrated the Tory election strategy department? It sure looks that way.

          Just like last time , it suits the Conservatives to pretend it’s close
          ..that way their voters don’t stay at home.
          They do seem clever at winning elections.
          But crap at governing ..just another lefty make promises, give away money pay off your green biz pals government.

          The media love that game too
          “Pantomime journalism..
          … he`s behind you !
          ..get real try dealing with the issues and the plans each party has for the future of this country”

          On Twitter Labour plants are ramping up the fantasy that BBC is biased AGAINT Labour
          “@afneil @bbclaurak @JPonpolitics @bbcnickrobinson Any chance you folks might giveus some fair & balanced coverage in the run-in to 8th June?”
          …Wonder what the end game is ? …collusion emails being exposed ?

            ….it’s not the Conservatives who pretend it’s close it’s the media and the polls themselves.
            One Poll by YouGov saying it’s only a 5 point lead sends the left wing media and press into overdrive.

            On the night the YouGov poll came out there was another Poll giving the Conservatives an 11 point lead but that poll didn’t suit the left wing presses needs so they ignored it..

            YouGov is owned by Peter Kellner who’s wife was a Baroness in the Labour party serving under Blair….!!!

              The baroness in question, dafydd is the fragrant Catherine Margaret Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, ex High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and First Vice President of the European Commission. You may remember her for making independance overtures to the Ukraine on behalf of the expansionist EU. That turned out well, ISTR!

                Baroness Ashton…

                Under secretary for Work and Pensions
                Under Secretary for Education and Skills
                Under Secretary for Constitutional Affairs

                All the above for Blair and Brown

                Also in her final job as High Representative for Foreign Affairs at the commission she courted controversy for being highly paid for doing nothing.

                An interesting read in the Daily Telegraph..

      Followed by the 8pm comedy drama where the beautiful white girl marries the black kid, so the main cast is 50% black, just like the real everyday Britain in 2017.
      … and they keep breaking into rap led by one of the black kids.

    BBC TV 24 Hour News this afternoon:

    BBC female reporter in the centre of Manchester among the flowers.

    She interviews two wimmin who are there to give out ‘hugs’ to the crowd. One of them had given 200 hugs that morning against ‘hate’. (Hugs not Hate?).
    The other woman spoke of the ‘events’ on Monday. Events? Does she mean that Islamic terrorist mass murder of children? Or was she referring to a carnival that we know nothing about??
