        If they protesting, we can be sure the right ones are being arrested. They protest both out of support and out of fear, for if they are not seen to be protesting they are in danger from the vicious fanatics themselves.

        WWII
        USSR was Hitler’s ally until he insanely thought he could go one better than Napoleon. The USSR had no choice but to repel the Nazis. But I agree that without them we could well have perished.
        The USA only entered the war (vs Japan) when Hawaii was attacked. They dragged their heels about declaring war on Germany.
        Whereas Britain declared war on Germany in support of our European allies, principally Poland. We were the only one of the then major powers that had not been directly attacked by the Germans or Japanese, we put ourselves in jeopardy to help others.
        Hitler allegedly did not ever want to fight Britain, hoping to form an alliance after conquering Europe..

          “we put ourselves in jeopardy to help others.”

          We did. Pity we couldn’t send Poland a bill to balance the one we received from the US.

      I’m all for polite diplomatic relations with our neighbours, but being in a mutual defence club with Germany, and to a lesser extent France is mad. They hate our guts (think of all those old wars)! And now we’re (supposedly) leaving the EU they’ll despise us even more.

      I think the UK defence budget is pretty pathetic, but in EU land Trump is right – they’ve been taking the piss for too long.

        They’re just out for themselves. That includes the USA and yes, Russia. Special relationship? For specific purposes maybe, but generally? No.

        I think it’s naive in the extreme to regard other countries as friends. They rarely are. The UK has been gullible for decades. The nearest thing we had were Canada, Australia and New Zealand and we foolishly thought that France and Germany could take their place.

          “The nearest thing we had”
          I was living in Munich at the time of the Falklands war. The German press referred to it as an “Operettenkrieg” i.e. Pinaforeesque.
          When I was sitting reading the Telegraph in Marienplatz, I had an Australian come up to me, ask me if I was British and tell me “I’m glad you’re going to teach that bastard Gautieri a lesson” He was a WWII vet. Even more bizarrely, two Vietnam vets approached me and said “We are proud that the British Lion is baring its teeth again”. Amazing – Americans and Australians who were less embarrassed about being pro-British than the majority of Brits. No doubt, Corbyn was railing against British imperialism and warcrimes or asking for a gandhian type international peace congress. The BBC worldservice for once proved quite useful as a work colleague used it to track the progress of the Task Force on a map in his office. Only British, Canadian and American work-colleagues wanted the up date every morning.
          Germans also say that Brexit is just a deluded attempt to relive past imperial glories

            A few years back, a Sgts Mess I belonged to adopted an Old peoples home. We would visit the old folks, garden, clean up and generally help out. One Christmas we offered to help out with their Christmas dinner, (setting up, serving the food, washing up etc) anyway My mate and I (Both staffies at the time) in uniform were shocked when this old geezer apologised for what his country had done to mine.
            Tony (my mate) replied “Err ****** was born here, he’s British.

            The brainwashing by the left has resulted where people like me can only be seen as victims of white people. The fact that I was in the British army, thus showing where my loyalty lies simply could not be comprehended by these people.

          Yes, it would be nice to hear insensitive comments more often. No matter what happens it’s a BBC tic to always ask whether the “tone” has been got right. Choose some anodyne, euphemistic word or phrase to describe “unpleasantness” and you are well on the way to making the unpleasant “nice” or “pretty”. Pretty things aren’t a problem – then there’s no need to be tough on “unpleasantness”, tough on the causes of “unpleasnatness”. Joke O’Burn on the Daily Politics does it really well. “ToooOOOne”. You’ve got to get the modulation right. A soupçon of a po-face is also helpful. All persons of refinement agree. Muslim terrorism? NoooOhh. It’s an “opportunity to feel community solidarity” All those candles and pink balloons. It’s all reeeeeally pretty, sweetie!

    Has Naga Munchetty fallen even more deeply in love with herself – or in her recent absence has the viewer forgotten quite how smug is the presenting style of this full-of-herself dolly dimwit. How on earth has the BBC discovered a beta male – with which to pair our Naga – more lightweight, more testosterone-deficient and with so little gravitas he must be wearing lead-lined boots to keep himself anchored to the red sofa. What more annoyingly entitled anti-Brexit guest than Nick Clegg! With a slice of toast in my left hand, I have to park my morning mug of tea from my right in order to form the approriate hand gesture Clegg deserves – for the ultimate Europhile only the international sign of the wanker is sufficient. The unprincipled Clegg talks of some pan-EU security database – we will apparently forgo – the git. And when Clegg tells the Beeb pair what question they should ask the up-coming Tory – you just know they will take dear Nick’s advice. I’m fuming. Some light relief comes along from BBC London : park Herons are ‘too lazy to migrate’. God alone knows what the BBC are trying to tell us here. Someone is feeding the birds too much curried rice. They get fat and lazy and don’t fly off to meet feathered mates from other Heron colonies. Stuck at home they have a small gene pool consisting of just their own pond and in a few generations present birth defects. This bizarre legend can surely be read two ways? By the way, we’re paying for this BBC crapola.

This musing clambers over the dead in Manchester in order to keep us in the EU. So Clegg gets his pension and new post as Gauleiter of Atlantic Airstrip Nine.

      Having heard the Janner car crash, I failed to get the radio off for Sarah Montagues oh-so-necessary passing on of Merkels gossip-via Katya Adler of course so Monty herself can`t be accused of being a fey fishwife with no fish to sell us.
      Apparently Merkel fears that both the UK and USA cannot be reiled upon.
      Er-would rather hope so sarah, seeing that I`m British and love the USA. And despise Merkels version of the EU; your slaverings around the velveteen pixieboots of Caroline Lucas.
      But-as ever-the UK and USA seem to be “in the dock” with Judge Sarah Montessori presiding. Didn`t stick around for the gossip though-put my curlers in, slippers and housecoat on and went outside to gossip with fellow lefty euncuhs over our wives knickers and nighties flying free on the lines.
      If only I`d set it up so I could make a noose…but that`s what the BBC seem to think they`re for, takes Angela, Srah and Katya to gut us all, as we think they`re something other than fat fishwives and hells harpies.
      As our last Saint Phil Lynott of Dublin sang-“Don`t believe a Word”.

    Oh dear-poor John Humphries. Obviously sent out as nightwatchman to cover the BBCs arse over their role in hounding Greville Janner.
    That nasty little case has fallen apart, Humph rather hopes that the noble Lords angry, lucid daughter will settle for the Green Room croissant and that two minutes fame in “speaking nation unto nation” just after 8.30.
    Oh dear-Laura seemed inclined to be taking up with the compo culture-and BBC share prices have yet to factor in the Cliff Richard outlays that we`ll soon be stumped for.
    And now Janner-and all those Labour MPs like Tom Watson, both in the Commons-and(more promisingly) in lefty organs we all know of-might need to get their affairs in order if Lauras anger finds expression with our learned friends.
    Maybe they should have waited for Kaufman-who seems to have less in the way of relatives with legal knowledge.Certainly, far more scope for that rainbow palate that the BBC usually celebrate…but he didn`t have Alzheimers at the end did he?
    Ah but Jenner was for Israel-Kaufman, far from so. The BBC would rather we not dig too deep into Kaufman, I`m sure.
    Poor Humph returnes to the pavilion knowing that this isn`t done-he`ll be making the news again before too long, given that Humphs blandishments, hopes for reconciliation and settlement seem futile.

    I see the ‘Blame-Game’ is up and running. MI5 are being challenged (I don’t know whether the department is being ‘investigated’) to say why they didn’t deal with the threat of Abedi five years ago. The ‘blame’ argument should be in reverse i.e. to those only responsible. The question then becomes, what lover of islam in the Government of the day let Abedi into the UK and why?
    Don’t blame the ONLY Government department that stands in our defence and has done on hundreds (maybe thousands) of successful occasions. Typical of the shitty politicians we have. They’re just as bad as the likes of Abedi et al.

    Recent QT: the sadly challenged Andy Burnham’s answer to muslim terrorists murdering our children? “We must be more careful with language… we mustn’t call it Islamic or muslim terrorism… the bbc should stop referring to ‘so-called Islamic State’, they should say Daesh, etc etc…”

    Yes Andy, let’s cover up the glaringly obvious and hugely significant fact that they’re muslims EVEN MORE than we already do; that should stop ’em.
    Moron. It’s that kind of denial that got us into this mess in the first place.

    Just to annoy Andy, let me explain once more: it’s ISLAMIC terrorism, committed by MUSLIMS, following the KORAN and other MUSLIM so-called ‘scriptures’, often radicalised by their MUSLIM imams, in MUSLIM mosques, often instructed and directed by the MUSLIM fanatics in ISLAMIC STATE.

    If you can bear it, it’s about the 56 minute mark.

    I’ve never ever watched Victoria Derbyshire until today and I clearly say I will never do so again.

    Format was an audience debate talking about the election. Huge proportion of the audience are of the obese-walking-stick-mentally-ill types. When asked who they would vote for the answer is always Labour just for their own benefits/social care.

    One obese-suicidal type ranted on about how “they are dying” and “anyone who votes Tory will be complicit in their deaths”. A Tory MP had a turn to reply started to defend Torys but V.D. told him to turn around and talk directly to the obese woman rather than the cameras. The obese woman’s views were taken as totally factual and not challenged.

    Complete load of %&$! Almost identical to BBC1 Question Time carefully selected audiences.

      This VD Debate could be used as a pathetic template for BBC bias. Scandalous does not begin to describe the construction and politics of the audience but for one shining example, after Dominic Raab’s constantly interrupted comments on policing, the lone supporter clapping was as embarrassing as it was revealing. And with contributions from the thuggish Emily Thornberry and oily John Nicolson, things got worse.
      The BBC’s presentation of political comment transcends anti-democratic bias and goes beyond the childishly partisan, it is truly evil – and will end in very much more than tears.

I’m inclined to agree with you, i.e. why would May introduce such a controversial measure in the Tory manifesto as the dementia tax? it’s almost as if they want to lose votes, which would obviously produce a reduced majority or even worse a hung parliament. This as we know would diminish the possibility of a real Brexit. It’s almost as if May is deliberately looking for a ‘soft’ Brexit …………..

        Tory Arrogance – She s power obsessed … Her, Her two advisors, and L Crosby running the No10 show.

        Why?, Fallon, Hammond, A Dudd , Boris etc sheesh!, their even more incompetent than she is,
        and only succeed in lining their own pockets, at our expense.

    Could it be that a new series of The Apprentice is looking iffy?

    Clearly Evan will have no trouble preserving that BBC-inbred ‘impartiality’.

    Good old Channel 4 and their parade of “challenged” continuity/continonce announcers eh?
    We`ve struggled through the gay nutjobs, the trans beaver squeezers and the gangsta grimy Muslim on stolen drugs …all of who get patted on the head whilst telling us that fuckall is on-because it`s Channel 4 and half of Snows lint monkeys are trapped in Faro or Tuscany today-so no-one`s watching.
    But todays was a good `un-clearly some trained gombeen with too many lips, not enough brain and a mum at Mumsnet holding his Reliant Robin.
    He tells me that there`s a new funky urban , rad and edgy Grange Hil/Waterloo Road drama coming up with all mannner of issues for us to mull over. Not compulsory attendance, forced OFSTED breakdowns and paeods in the sports academy though. And CERTAINLY no discussion of taking kids out of crap drama shows in term time…what WOULD the worlds favourite airline then do to trap loads of parents and hold them hostage as they reboot the ZX Spectrum 81 eh?

    My point-our divvy mate says it`s called “Acne Bridge” this school of their imaginings!

    Guess the Clearasil now comes in suitable shades for all skin tones, that the feather boas will do for ties in those difficult areas where the spots get boilie-and that both Muslims and Whitey can agree that anti-acne prejudice is a common hate crime…and needs loads of money charities, helplines, research and former victims and survivors to spout endlessly on. About how damaged they still are when the face steamers went to solar panels.

    Acne Bridge…remember to watch it! Think it`s on the 9 O clock Spot!

    PS-why the heck do all media news bunnies and liars all seem to be able-bodied? Apart from Frank and Gary, Peter and a few others-all have legs and senses not needed to point at a weather map or sit telling porkies.
    Get those able bodied goons out of telly, let the disabled have tramlines between all Media City and Channel 4 stations of truth telling.
    Give the jobs to the spax…the more disabled and needy ,the better.
    Might end the food bank and You and Yours urban myths sections anyway.
    More rights in the media for Spotty Stammerers…they might them have to THINK about what they are unable to say in one go-and would cost the advertisers loads in wasted air time…

    Why, I for one, have no faith whatsoever in the Conservatives “policy” of reducing immigration to the, “tens of thousands”. Not 500 or so jihadists but > 20,000.
    The 2017 election Conservative Manifesto – “We will ensure Britain remains a place of sanctuary for refugees and asylum seekers.” That’s the other half of the immigration figures – ‘Non-EU’, for which no effort has been made to reduce. It goes on:
    “Integrating divided communities
    Britain is one of the world’s most successful multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious societies. We are proud of our diversity, and the cultural and economic enrichment it brings.
    The enjoyment and pride we take in our diversity should not cause us to ignore the fact that in too many parts of our country, we have communities that are divided, often along racial or religious lines. To address this, we will bring forward a new integration strategy (see the existing ones!! – https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/community-integration) which will seek to help people in more isolated communities to engage with the wider world, help women in particular into the workplace, and teach more people to speak English. We will work with schools to make sure that those with intakes from one predominant racial, cultural or religious background teach their students about pluralistic, British values and help them to get to know people with different ways of life.”
    It could be a Brian Rix farce.
    So, there we are then, “successful” and cultural and economic “enrichment” by integration. Our enjoyment and pride in our “diversity” cos’ we love it – apparently.
    With the utmost respect for those caught up in last weeks Manchester slaughter, I’d like to suggest amendment to the Manifesto viz.
    Due to our love of multicultural diversity and the cultural enrichment it brings, we look forward to the next ‘event’ when a person(s) of whatever gender they themselves decide, will again cherish their integration and cause havoc and distress with the slaughter of more citizens. We will of course, look forward to the coming together of mourners after the event and we would expect to see yet another vast demonstration of muslim sympathy in a further procession of (dare I?) “tens of thousands” of muslim sympathisers in the streets.
    There, that’s made me feel more “integrated” already!

    ITTB is continuing on its roll, though there is the slight possibility it has pulled a BBC/Malala with Douglas.

    http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/get-douglas.html

    I jest of course. He was marked the instant his lips moved and the BBC did not immediately ‘deal with it’*.

    As some have commented, them inviting him on at all may have seen a few sharp, unrecorded if not forgotten words in the the back corridors behind Frankie Howerd.

      Yep, a sinister continuation of the nasty left taking down anyone who has a coherent argument against their ridiculous ideology – blasphemy and censorship. No free speech anymore. And it is spreading…May’s push for the internet to combat Jihadism – censorship. Milo, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, Katie Hopkins, and now probably Douglas Murray, Sean Hannity and on it goes. I bet they really hate Murray for his bestselling book – bet there’s pressure to get that taken down from shelves.
