Apparently her name was Karen Doyle and she clearly, not only doesn’t understand the definition of the word “rage” but also has no concept of the meaning of democracy in vowing to “bring down” this democratically elected government. JHB called her out on refusing 3 times to call up on those planning to march not to use any violence towards people or property.

Doyle should certainly be arrested because her crime is far greater than the van hirers brother who simply expressed an opinion on FB.

The best that Adam (fatty) Boulton can come up with, and to my utter disbelief, is what he asked his fellow on-screen colleague……. “er, it IS Royal Ascot isn’t it ?”. Dear God, of course he knows its bloody Royal Ascot, clearly all the fat has gone to his brain because he sure as hell is having trouble moving his mouth.

New term: Islamofactia – The action of speaking or writing incontrovertible facts relating to Islam.
Seems to me that if one speaks or writes truths regarding Islam that may not show Islam in a good light – that’s Islamophobia.
The same rationale applies to all the other phobias designed to obscure truth and stifle debate (xeno, homo etc.,) to be branded with one of these phobias means you are considered evil by some – not a majority of people in the World though, just some.
Little example: “Children of same sex couples do suffer psychological harm and have problems relating ……….” That I heard, from such children and experts on a bbc radio documentary. That is ‘homophobia’.
These conditions of the mind are what used to be called, facts. opinions, perfectly rational fears or firmly held beliefs now they are called phobias.

The BBC coverage of the State Opening of Parliament is suffused with anti Conservative comment . Sly comments from the BBC staffers and the two ‘progressive alliance’ MP guests allowed to let rip. Talk of crisis in public services, continued reference to cuts and constant talk of the government having no mandate to do this or that. So what mandate do labour have? With 60 fewer MPs and a smaller vote share labour have no mandate at all. As for the SNP who lost such a huge proportion of their MPs- what mandate do they have?
Jacob Rees Mogg is the only Tory putting up a spirited resistance to all this drivel. Most Tories seem hopelessly defensive when interviewed.

Day of Rage/Hate protesters with placards ….
“Justice for Grenfell”
– wait for the report and justice can be served, it all takes time, unless you have a better solution
“Grenfell Fire Demands Answers! Peoples Inquiry. Not a public Inquiry Whitewash. Revolutionary Communist Group”
– crowd fund your own inquiry if it’s that important, maybe.
“Theresa May…Doesnt Love MANDEM”
– MANDEM from the Latin ‘Mandemulus’, meaning a collection of less than reputable characters.
“Our Lives End The Day We Become Silent About Things That Matter”
– your life does not end when you don’t talk, but I agree it’s nice to talk about things that matter

Something fishy about Finsbury (the wrongful attack)
Tuesday morning #OperationBangingOn thru all media eg Piers Morgan, Nihal, LBC
Then at 12pm it all seemed to dry up ..they’d been breaking sub judice rules uptil them , but LibMob are above the law anyway
@Oaknash June 20 at 9:45 pm raised something the victim was named
“Man killed in van crash outside London mosque named as Makram Ali”
51, the guy already on the floor unconscious and with a pacemaker.
But the media have failed to canonise the victims like the normally do
@Oaknash raised the issue that Makram Ali might have been already dead
I wonder if some of the injured might have less than clean reputations (not that is justice).

Talking of unreported : June 6th ..masked Left-Supremacists attacked Australian journalist Andrew Bolt
at launch of his new book ..they poured liquids over him whilst their photographer mate grabbed shots.
Bolt punched back
His suit was ruined but later sold at auction raising $8,500 for charity.
That direction action was not properly condemned by Left press in Oz

On that failing to condemn the attack
In the new Bolt Podcast it was strange he had the Australian Guardian Editor on debating Green energy.
..but then he turns to her and says
“Now about when I was attacked by an masked guy last week and the Guardian’s article on it
.. . which still has vile comments on it, like hopefully someone else will try, we’ll get him next time etc.?”
..”Ah well the comments are not pre moderated”
He pointed out that those death threat support comments were still there after 7 day whilst others were deleted.
(July 8, 2016 · Andrew Bolt has been forced to move his children to another home after receiving “a string of death threats”.
He mentioned he knows 4 Non-Left commenters who also had to move families due to death threats)

I was thinking of attending this “Day of Rage” demo in London, but…
It’s too bloody hot to get angry and frustrated. Why don’t they choose these events to coincide with cooler weather? Nope, I’m going to have a nice relaxing day in the garden instead. Deckchair is placed under my gnarled old apple tree, I have a bottle of something chilling in the freezer cabinet. A good book; what could be better?
A day of rage sounds far too much like hard work to a lazy old sod like me.

Jeff, I hope your Day of Apathy is going well. I note that it got off to a splendid start in that you couldn’t be bothered to use capital letters for Day and Apathy. Let the side down a bit by not misspelling apathy, though.
The Day of Rage, meanwhile, appears to be a non-starter according to the BBC News Page on their web-site. Earlier, I could find no evidence of it happening or having happened in Politics or English News or London News. Still not on the Home Page, so I guess it may not have happened after all.
Had another check; no, not on News Page, not on England Page, not on London Page and not on Politics Page.]
It’s official: it is a flop. I saw it, or rather did not see it, on the BBC.

A special department is to be set up with a advocate at its head to support and convey the wishes of people caught up in any disaster. First step, I suggest that the Commissioner takes a introspective look at the Government on behalf of the public.
Meanwhile, the MET are seeking staff and money to recruit more people to deal with islam. Basically. No other reason. I understand that they will be forming a new department, referred to as, ‘The Pork Chop and Bacon’ department. No guesses as to what that department will specialise in. Training for these roles will be carried out in Alans Snackbar. Where have I heard that name before?

Or … some tents and join the party at Glastonbury. What a media extravaganza that could for the BBC, and still can be.
The celebrities no longer have to visit the victims – the victims could go to the celebrities and they could all hang out together. Round a campfire (safe distance) writing “LOVE NOT RAGE” songs.
The victims of Grenfell incident could all stay longer and the stars hang around and really help them and find out about these people with quality time spent together.
O/T In a similar way to resolve the Labour “For the Many times we say we won, Not the Few Votes we actually had” and the Conservatives “For the Many votes we had, Not the Few conservatives who think we lost” problem …

Some years ago the police were alerted to a man drunk and asleep in a stolen 4×4 outside a pub. He was arrested, charged and released to appear at the magistrate’s court the following week.
Two days later, again drunk mid-day and ‘in charge’ of another stolen 4×4 he made an illegal right-turn on a dual-carriageway, some twenty feet in front of my brother on his motorcycle.
Questions weren’t asked about why the Labour minister had extended drinking hours. The PM didn’t make a statement on the steps of Downing Street. A year later the Labour local authority finally acted on ten-year’s worth of fatalities on this road by blocking off the one-way cut-throughs in the central reservation and replacing them with several roundabouts.
It is curious how some deaths are important and some aren’t. Earlier on that day a bus in London had its roof blown off by a Yorkshire backpacker.

One argument for Basic English is that by existing side by side with Standard English it can act as a sort of corrective to the oratory of statesmen and publicists. High-sounding phrases, when translated into Basic, are often deflated in a surprising way. For example, I presented to a Basic expert the sentence, ‘He little knew the fate that lay in store for him’ — to be told that in Basic this would become ‘He was far from certain what was going to happen’. It sounds decidedly less impressive, but it means the same. In Basic, I am told, you cannot make a meaningless statement without its being apparent that it is meaningless — which is quite enough to explain why so many schoolmasters, editors, politicians and literary critics object to it.

“He was far from certain what was going to happen.”
I don’t think that is Basic English. ‘Far’ is associated with ‘distance’ as in miles/kilometres, not an abstract concept as here.
‘He did not know what was going to happen’, perhaps? [Does any of us!!!]

If I run down to London, rub some soot on my face, do I get £5,500 pounds a new flat and a visit from Lily for tea and biscuits? Not sure how all this is going to work to be honest.
If the Government was not allowed to dental check people coming into our country to check their age, not sure what type of measures we can put into place here.
May could say – “We will only give these benefits to those who we can verify are in need of them. Completing background checks and verifying their identities – just as we would anyone entering the country from abroad. Do not look on these as infringing on your rights, but as protecting those around you – family, friends and fellow citizens.”
Maybe May she should add some details, some reality to spice up the sentences – “We obviously don’t want another Khalid Masood (Birmingham terrorist) who was a suspected benefits cheat who took drugs and paid for sex sessions with hookers.”

As I mentioned Trump’s state visit not mentioned in the Queen’s Speech.
BBC speculates why…. perhaps he does not want to come fearing a hostile reception.
But perhaps
a) Treezer wants to distance herself from him and side with her fellow EU leaders, especially after dumping the Paris con trick which she retained in the Speech. Or
b) Treezer has appeased the anti Trump street mobs fearing that she cannot control them anymore than she can control the jihadists she has welcomed here.
Treezer cannot govern, does not belong in the UK. Trouble is – she cannot go now as the thugs behind the Day of Rage will claim they got rid of her and that will give them the confidence to claim that demonstrations laced with violent threats pay.

Anyone using the BBC to follow the Georgia Congress by-election campaign (important to the BBC only for an opportunity to bash Trump) would have got the message that it broke records for campaign spending. To the BBC’s chagrin the Dems lost, but BBC website visitors probably came away with the conclusion that the Reps had bought the win. That would be because the BBC never made clear that 88% of the record spending was incurred by the Dems.
