      Grant I was in Kenya when Tony Blair stood down. A Kenyan said to me ‘so, now there will be an election in Britain, yes?’ I replied ‘No, he’s giving the job to his friend!’ And we lecture them on ‘democracy’!

        Cranmer,

        Good point. These things are not lost on them !!! Sometimes they do not say too much, but they are thinking and judging you. I cringe when I see white people shooting their mouths off on the assumption that Africans are stupid. I could go on…….

        Do wonder if we here at “The Nasty Party” could incorporate specifically Kenyan and Gambian policies into our manifesto that not even I would leak as yet!
        A proposed tax on bullocks?…standardised yam tax?…a head tax on piled up headscarves or worries about big smiles adding to jungle humidity levels? Relying here in my African chums to relay the diplomatic and world ramifications of my One Love Foreign Policy. One Toto single and a magnificent Johnny Clegg concert in Machester 1987 hardly gets me to the UN yet does it?
        Can we sanction mud huts in the brown field development plans…or would they turn to slime with the drizzle here on the campsite?
        Such policies would be mad, irrelevant , patronising unworkable and one mad joke-and will surely replace Labour after the inaugural booze up at Spoons after evensong on Sunday night.

    So am i, within 3 weeks time the bbc are on the road to obscurity, i still think one of her first ”surprise” announcements will be the abolition of the licence fee.

    • ToobiWan says:

      To be replaced with what though, Manxman? I doubt it will mean free television. Lord Hall is on record as saying he would like to see the end of the licence fee and it replaced with a sytem where everyone pays, through some sort of local taxation. A system similar to the one in Germany, everyone pays to fund the two state brodcasters, even if they do own a TV set! Not just the address either, everyone at the address pays.

      Think Theresa May is unlikely to do that unless she has a whopping majority. It would also be hugely unpopular with a majority of the public.

      What may be a smart move on her part would be to do it by ‘a death of a thousand cuts’.

      “The Licence Fee should be free to all students in full-time University education.”

      “The Government is unhappy with the outsourcing of the collection of the Licence Fee. We are receiving constant complaints from the public. The Licence Fee should, in future, be collected in house by its beneficiaries, the BBC and Channel 4.”

      “The Licence Fee is too high, it should be reduced in stages. I have asked the Director General to reduce it at the end of December 2018 by ten per cent.”

      “The Licence Fee should be free to all pensioners.”

      “The BBC is full of repeats and is too large. The Government has a role to play in maintaining value for money for the taxpayer and I will not duck this issue. I have asked the Director General today to re-structure the BBC by the end of 2020 to make it slimmer, more efficient, more fit for the digital age and all the competitors it faces in the 21st century. We need to maintain an outstanding national broadcaster.”

      “A public service broadcaster, free of State control, is essential for the UK. It will be essential to have a sustainable Licence Fee at a more or less fixed level of a fee and not a substantial tax. The Conservative Government fully supports the BBC in this aim.”

      “The public will need to pay more tax in future to help the NHS meet demand, therefore other taxes and costs have to be reduced. I have asked the Director General to keep reducing the Licence Fee year on year, by 10 per cent. The Chancellor in his next Budget will outline the additional spending from taxation for the NHS.”

      “We will continue to support the BBC in its modernisation programme. However, if those that work for the BBC resist that, then we will have no alternative but to privatise the BBC. Instead of paying fees to advisors for an expensive flotation, from day/month/year, we will give shares to all who have completed tax returns and are UK taxpayers. The BBC Board will have to arrange their future income stream from selling their services on a subscription basis. We have mandated the BBC to keep one television channel and one radio, nationwide, free of advertising and will make a one-off grant to a Trust Fund created for that purpose and overseen by the Charity Commissioners and OFCOM. If members of the public value the BBC and its output, they will be welcome to make voluntary donations to this Trust Fund from day/month/year”

      It is a funny thing, but as I typed all that I could hear Theresa May’s voice saying it.

      Ooh er, missus!

      I think the howls of outrage at all of this would mostly come from within Broadcasting House, all the luvvies who benefit hugely via the BBC and its taxpayers, and some more of the Left who want to use the BBC for their own ends. They will be a minority, a small one by then.

      2023 – job done.

      BBC free of Government control. Its main output free of advertising. What’s not to like?

    Background
    – she has her 93 year old mother visit from Doncaster she comes all the way to South London by taxi
    (Janice doesn’t think that is strange, well I do because Doncaster is much easier by high speed train compared to the 4 hour car journey)
    – On the way down the driver reveals that he hasn’t eaten due to it being Ramadan
    – A week later the same taxi driver comes to pick her up and her 93 year old mother decides that in Ramadan solidarity she too will not eat in the journey on the way home.
    After 4 hrs she breaks into the packet of biscuits.
    – Janices point is: look how noble my mother is !
    subtext : look at my family we are not racist!

I’m fairly sure there are dispensations for the elderly during Ramadan anyway, although if some fool wants to starve herself on behalf of someone else’s religion I couldn’t really care less. I also bet the two-faced old bat’s worried about global warming as well.

      I think, given the likely taxi fare for a 170 mile journey (each way) what we have here is a classic rich metropolitan elite virtue signalling situation. I found the Assisted Passenger scheme run by East Coast very useful when a relative had early stage dementia and we used the train to ferry them up and down, and all for £20 return if booked ahead, reduced to £13 with a senior railcard.

    Here’s an intriguing piece on the BBC website that may just have a darker, more subtle meaning. An illegal immigrant attempted to rape a young woman in Thanet; fortunately, she had sufficient wits about her to film the attacker – Ashraf Miah – which led to his conviction. She has now spoken out on the Toady programme, urging other victims of sexual attack to come forward. The title of the website article is ‘Sexual assault victim: Don’t let it consume you’.
    Question: given an apparent relationship between certain ethnic groups and rape and sexual assault, is the BBC message, between the lines, really ‘Get used to it and don’t even bother complaining’?

      Heard this by Justin Webb on Radio 4. Appalling.
      Poor kid and mum just used by way of “are you sure it`s worth all the fuss dears”.
      The kid spoke fluid snowflake-“closure”.
      Doing this so others might film their own rape-and then think of not telling anyoine, less Islam or Shami get bovvered re fuelling Tommy Robinsons vespa?. Is that wise?
      The hidden curriculum of Cologne, Gotherburg and Innsbruck once more in evidence.
      AND-typical of the BBC-not a peep about WHO would do such a thing-and WHY such a creature would dare to do this here in 2017.
      All we got what the WHAT-what a chore to tell your story repeatedly, what a fuss might be seen to come about, what this might yet to to integration and social cohesion.
      Unusually for the BBC-no ritual helpline/online crap for follow up “if you`ve been affected by anything you`ve heard” either.
      After Rochdale and Rotherham-sense the BBC would rather we fuss over disabilty access to the polling booths. As for the Keighley 200 case now being heard up near Bradford etc…well, let`s leave that until we HAVE to say something.
      THIS is why the BBC has got to go-equivocation and dampening downs on RAPE in Britain in 2017?

      This I have duly done and as the country is so deeply in debt, I have decided to vote Conservative as the party of greater fiscal responsibility, and to lobby my MP in the hopes of having further cuts made in order to reduce the deficit for the sake of all our childrens’ future.

        Schools are still paying off Blairs courses for Key Stage curriculum jollies in nice hotels from the start of this century. Look in any school stockroom-reams of laminated folders, files and schemes of work on citizenship and kids in care policy guidelines( where the current mental health fixations come from). Add to this the cost of bigwig teachers and their IT courses, Academy and finance courses, gardening leave pay for the deviants, union pilgrim pay, funds wasted in charity runs, Red Nose squanderings, OFSTED hotels and consultancies, litigious parents over Special Needs and admissions appeals-let alone thost trip to Ghana to mope over slavery, iceland to fuss over climate change freebies-and endless trips to CERN these days-and you`ll find that schools have gobbled up and wasted prodigious amounts of money simply to be Obama compliant, halal-ready and Gore-enriched.
        No-starve the buggers, make it voluntary and get old service personnel and businessmen to recreate the idea of education. No unions either-and certainly no Labour scum until we`ve checked their computers and PIE status…Paedophile Exchange or Sexchange-hang them hign at the BBC.

          I worked as a volunteer teacher in India some years ago. The school had no money, was falling down and there weren’t even any chairs or tables, we all had to sit on the floor. Yet the pupils were all polite, respectful and enthusiastic, because they knew this was a chance to improve their lot in life.

          Education in the UK doesn’t, generally, provide that – after the age of 13 or so it’s just a sort of containment/socialist indoctrination camp. A Tory MP (Portillo?) who pointed this out of course got slated.

          Schools need to radically change to teach technical work skills, financial literacy, how to run a business, home economics etc for those who are not academically minded, which is most children.

            Dead right Cranmer.
            Content is key-if you don`t teach important stuff that will survive you, explain how we got to this place in 2017 and give room to educate for uncertainty too-then you`re failing these kids. Hence the Corbyn eejits today. Don`t balme them THAT much-Blair, Brown bought their votes, Thatcher failed to see what was going on and Major basically gave the ski slope over to his successors.
            sadly schools themselves are public sector leeches who run no businesses and despise those parents who do. Their dinners and cake stalls tell you what emphasis they put on proper cooking , and until they get Stalin and Mao rubbed into their faces re how we`ve got todays quisling culture, they`ll never learn what a Corbyn or a Verhofstad reallymweans for us.
            Media Studies needs a good look-BBC use of language and image as good a place to start as any. Thanks to Craig and Sue of the parish of old, got plenty pointers.
            India and China have plenty to teach us-note that the Chinese won`t let the kids of fat waster parents into good schools, because their lack of personal self-discipline and hygience etc implies that the school would need to carry the parents as opposed to teaching their children,
            I myself would ban Remainer parents from anything similar here-clearly in need of some education themselves. As if they`re not already privileged and superior anyway.

            As the BBC is fairly boring today, we need all the showboating we can get. It has been a good laugh on here, even if we may be sitting under the scaffold with no indication of where the queue starts and ends.

            Just back to the subject of education, I wonder how long we can go on saying in one breath: “We need to bring in people to this country with the skills we need.”

            ~ and with the next breath ~

            say to our young people: “You should try to get the advantage of a University education but you will have to buy £50,000 approximately of debt to do it. Of course, at the end you will still be unsuited to work which we will bring in migrants to do because your education will not be as good as theirs.”

    The BBC led progressive elite is desperate for a May defeat. Maybe they will all get their wish but it will change nothing.
    Corbyn is unfit for office and I suspect incapable as well. But behind him all sorts of nasties lurk and this will be their chance to mount a counter attack.
    It has been clear for some time that a key part of Gramscian strategy has been to use the young against the older generations. Mao did just that with the red guards and plunged China into complete chaos. Our young are particularly badly educated and easily manipulated.
    Why i say it will change nothing is because Europe is facing an existential crisis which could well destroy it.
    In the last few weeks we have been attacked in the most savage way possible three times and there is every reason to think these attacks will escalate. Our leaders are clueless and remind me of our inept government in 1939 .
    Like then we are reliant on a security force that as it can act independently is still effective. However this will not last for ever and if the attacks escalate then our leaders will have to make uncomfortable decisions.
    Hopefully cometh the hour cometh the man or woman.

    SO, one of the London Bridge ­murderers took part in a TV ­programme called The Jihadis Next Door.
    Another one of them announced proudly to the police: “I’m going to be a terrorist.”

    That was Youssef Zaghba, who was nabbed by the ­Italian Old Bill en route to Syria. They then let him go.

    Meanwhile, Butt’s older brother received taxpayers’ money from the British state for working on a programme to counter radicalism in Muslims.

    I think it’s fair to say that this was not money terribly well spent, y’know?

    Did Big Butt know that Little Butt was precisely the person he should have been dobbing in to the police?

    Can we ask for our money back?
    This stuff defies satire. There was nothing remotely secretive about any of these vile, suicidal, murderous goons.

    They were absolutely open about their loathing of us all. Their wish to kill us. Their support for ISIS.

    And so the security ­services are getting it in the neck for not having picked them up.

    This is the sort of thing that ­happens every time there is a Muslim terrorist outrage.

    We can’t see the wood for the trees. And so we blame the wrong ­people.

    Here’s the deal. There are 3,000 jihadi maniacs in the UK who the ­security ­services are keeping an eye on.

    They’re keeping an eye on them because they know they want us all dead.

    But there’s nothing they can do about it until they have hard ­evidence.

    And, bizarrely, saying: “I’m going to be a terrorist” isn’t hard evidence.

    Nor is downloading ISIS stuff, ­waving an ISIS flag or attacking ­moderate Muslims for not wishing to blow themselves up (as Little Butt did).

    But we are in a war. And I think we need to change our approach a little.

    We have been too indulgent. We have given too much respect to the human rights of these savages.

    And too little respect to the safety of our own people.

    Remember what the heroically brave Millwall fan Roy Larner said when he was faced with the knife-wielding ­mentals screaming: “This is for Allah.”

    He replied: “F*** you, I’m Millwall.” And he took them on.

    I think we need a bit more “F*** you, I’m Millwall”. And a bit less of the old candlelit vigils, the singing of John ­Lennon’s Imagine.

    And the local ­politicians saying, pointlessly: “We all stand together” and “Islam isn’t to blame”.

    Oh yes it is. And it’s time we got real.

    Of the 3,000 suspects who the ­security service class as being of “special interest”, deport all who were not born in Britain. Kick them out.

    Of the further 20,000 who are of “some interest”, kick out all of the foreigners too. All of them, now.

    Send the Butts back to lovely Pakistan.

    Of the ones who were born in the UK, tag them, curfew them, deprive them of the use of the internet.

    If they don’t like it, deport them to the Muslim hellhole of their choice.

    If a Muslim is seen trying to leave the UK to fight in Syria or Iraq for ISIS — let them go. And maybe buy them a snack for the journey.

    Just don’t let them back in, ever. British passport confiscated.

    Then bring their families in for a bit of questioning.

    Threaten to close down any mosque at which terrorists, or ­potential terrorists, prayed.

    Stop pretending that some imams are not spreading animosity about the British way of life.

    If they don’t like the British way of life, they can leave too, incidentally.

    And then there’s this. Labour’s Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, said two years ago that the police should be ­disarmed and MI5 disbanded.

    Imagine how many more people would have been murdered if he got his way.

    Jeremy Corbyn has said the ­Government’s “Prevent” strategy unfairly targets ­Muslims.

    As opposed to those ­dangerous Methodists or Hindus, I suppose.

    Every time a Labour politician opens his big fat gob about how awful terrorism is, remind him of this.

    Then sort out the internet ­companies who do nothing to address the extremism broadcast on their sites.

    Facebook and YouTube and so on. Fine them. Threaten to bar them from Britain.

    Because if Theresa May really means “enough is enough”, then she will act instead of just trying to sound tough.

    Get rid of as many of these ­potential murderers as is humanly possible.

    And when they object? Just borrow a line from Roy Larner. “F*** you — we’re British.”

    The time for holding hands and lighting candles is over.

    Now it’s time to get ­serious.

      Will have to hope that the thoughts of Good Queen Melanie Phillips will find their way over all those paywalls.
      Note in Guido Fawkes today that the Millwall Lion-Ray Larner-has been assured of a good hotel and a fine night out from the good fans of Sunderland AFC when Millwall roll up at The Stadium Of Light for their fixture in the coming season. What a great club-as if Brexit and that fine town can`t go higher in our estimation-they do this!
      Up the Black Cats-and an award for Emmanuel Goldstein for being associated with the TRUE spiritual capital of England.
      We`ll all Millwall these days-but I have a fantastic Black Cat, so claim dual nationality…er….

    Hi…just joined.

    Radio 5 live has been bustinv a gut to get May out.

    Yesterday, the day preceding the election, between 4pm and 7, their Drive programme, they had a phone in and the featured callers were overwhelmingly Corbyn/labour supporters. In the last hour the callers came in 12-2 in favour of Labour

      Hello and welcome aboard, Megarict.
      I think you will find that a 12:2 ratio in favour of Corbynites shows a higher than normal number of non Corbynites.
      I’m surprised any were allowed to get through at all!
      It would be interesting to know where the callers came from, probably within a 5 mile radius of W1 1AA.

    Does anyone have or know of the composition of constituencies by ethnicity? It would be interesting to see how much correlation there was between voting patterns and ethnicity. I know there is a cart load of anecdotal evidence that white Brits are much less likely to vote Labour than POCs but is there any hard evidence. Perhaps this data is judged too sensitive , inflammatory, to be made public. After all it it might prove what many suspect and what Labour hope and planned, that our country is being stolen from us by Labour’s third world chums.

    Our whole lives are now and will increasingly be affected by islam. Whether it be, as above, perhaps a mistaken package or simply an expression taken out of context. It seems to me that a good proportion of the population are happy with that state of affairs. They seem anxious to accommodate the invaders wishes at every request. Indeed, if not even requested, they go out of their way to bend to suit the muslim. That includes our flaccid, weak, pathetic politicians otherwise known as, “Leaders”. How can an immense invasion of such proportions – still ongoing day by day (for that is what it is) be so bloodless? No resistance. What next? islam is NOT benign as anyone that has lived in countries dominated by islam will confirm. I for one want to know where all this is leading. Our “Leaders” remain silent on the subject. Perhaps they’re waiting for the public to act because they cannot or will not?

      Heard both Justin Welby and Tariq Ramadan these last few days on ther Today show.
      Both are terrifying examples of how our society is illiterate in religious terms. Welby himself uses that phrase and he is right to do so.
      But he`s no better himself in large part, No urgency, no wish to upset the media consensus that faith is a private vice or a mental illness. So whenever he gingerly thinks Islam is falling down on the job here-he lobs in the crusades or abortion clinics to continually seek equivalnce between his religion and that of Islam.
      They don`t compare at all Welby,but you reduce your s and puff up Islams by your cowardice and poor sense of selective history.
      Ramadan was far more slippery-and Mishal Husain bowed the burqa in the presence of the Wests leading apologist re islam(and what a field from Edward Said to Karen Armstrong too).
      He did mention Sura 9;27/8-Verses Of the Sword…but everybody glossed over them.
      Murderers of Lee Rigby gave them live to us, but the BBC never played them.
      Rest of it was silky taqqiyya as only Ramadan can do for idiot western liberals, Oxford lecturer and a Swiss national-oh, how fascinating.
      Satan too masquerades as an agent of light( I paraphrase).
      So we have a supine CofE prattler called Justin with his few old ladies and lesbian vicarettes. And we have brainy deceitful Tariq and His Muslim Botherhood clan(Al Banna)-with millions of vicious adherents, Tariq to pass along the ransom notes and billet doux.
      In worldly terms, a no brainer. But Jesus will have something to say. let alone prove about this.
      “My strength is made perfect in weakness” said Paul. Not Jesus I grant you-but something like that will suffice for now. Where`s Michael Nazir-Ali and Gavin Ashenden then,Peter Mullen and David Pawson?
      Never( rarely?) on the BBC anyway

    Whoops! Climate Change Weekly, the so-called Inside Science, is shocked to find that the settled science of human evolution keeps changing! Horror of horrors our common ancestor might even be European! (Surely not?)

    If only they could get some of those Climate Change scientists to change disciplines to help out. You know, the ones that keep producing models of the climate chaos that neither agree with each other or observed climate. But then perhaps ‘settled’ means something different in this world of post-modernists?

    Just wishing you a good evenings viewing . Don’t fret too much about reports of a snowflake vote surge. Enjoy the look on the faces of Dimbelby, Maitless et al when the exit poll is reported at 10 pm. All the record breaking BBC bias will have failed yet again and equally the Tories will do nothing about it. Enjoy the Sunderland result and do go to bed after the Nuneaton result.
    We all know that all we will get in May is the least worse option. I don’t expect the border force to suddenly start doing their job. I don’t expect the Irish border problem to be resolved. I don’t expect free movement to be stopped before we exit the EU. I fully expect Moroccans to continue to marry gullible and lonely white British women and so gain their objective. I don’t expect us to withdraw from the ECHR before we exit . I don’t expect internment of the 3000 under any Tory Government. So, a moment of satisfaction tonight, but lots more to do.

    That a ragbag of Communists, Terrorist-sympathisers, Trade Union thugs and sheer incompetents like Flabbott should be even within sniffing distance of power is a sad indictment of the state of our nation.

    We hear a lot about radical muslims, or radicalised muslims.

    ‘Radical’ comes from the Latin word meaning ‘root’.
    Among other definitions, we find: ‘of or going to the root or origin; fundamental’; ‘relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something’.
    So a radical muslim is simply one who’s gone back to the ‘roots’, to the ‘fundamental nature’ of the murderous cult.
    A ‘radicalised’ muslim is one who’s been guided there.

    So the lying beebistan are inadvertently speaking more truly than they realise every time they talk of terrorists having been radicalised. Yep, they’re the real, pure muslims.
    Nothing to do with Islam?
