Highlights (many!) of Rees-Mogg on Question Time last night.
The man is gifted. He controlled the panel and audience. Listen to the applause.
He’s commanded two full page articles on him in the Mail and Express this week – both full of praise, and apparently he’s gaining such momentum nationally that he even has a fan club on social media !
Beware the ugly head of social media Brissles…it fills me with dread when they ‘get onto’ our favourites. It might be just the beginning of their attempts to bring them down.
Yep! this is what desperation gets you,
JRM highlights ?…. f-ck me Al he s nothing but the “soundbite kid”, flopping from one thing to another
Another plummy posh boy, harry potter with egg already on his wand, as a landlord, who voted against the law to ensure housing is ‘fit for human habitation’ . All from the stately home of course, you know the one that f-ckwit Hammond siphoned 7.6 million to, of taxpayers money to.
I had to laugh, someone earlier said “plummy and posh” was my argument,
… no it wasn t, that’s just a Jacob Really Smug irritation .
He s just the usual underhand Tory , nothing new, while he was happily denying more money for those most in need, Rees-Mogg was happy to accept a £7.6m bonus from the Treasury. In the Autumn Statement, as Hammond announced that stately home Wentworth Woodhouse will receive £7.6m to fund its restoration. Luckily for Rees-Mogg,
oh … it’s his wife’s ancestral home. In typical slimy Tory fashion Rees-Mogg is also well known as a filibuster. He is one of those MPs that deliberately wastes parliamentary time to ensure backbench bills are unable to get off the ground, let alone be voted on. He attempted, for example, to talk out a private member’s bill repealing the bedroom tax another a bill to tackle the current dangers to our NHS.
Just like Camoron or Worzel Johnson the erm Eton/Oxbridge entitlement boys … he epitomises everything that is wrong with politics
political establishment business as usual
DRAIN THE SWAMP … Rees Mogg is included
And there is sooo much more, but you know I just couldn t be bothered to type it out
on QT … it comes to something when even the greens have to point it out to you
They really need to have an unlike button because Nogginator’s little rants against JRM are becoming increasingly boring.
Must be the second time in a couple of days that I’ve read him prattle on about JRM voting against or for the landlord thing and making childish digs about his appearance.
Change the record mate FFS.
Theres nobody in the UK to match him noggin for prime minister, not even close.
Manxman
Agreed !
I am with you there.
JRM for PM and get Nigel Farage in the cabinet along with Douglas Murray.
Quite Brilliant Truth – all capitals meant
Dear Dover,
Thank you for the effort and posting . I don’t watch QT any more because it’s generally a leftiephon run for the benefit of dimbleys bank balance.
However looking at the faces of both pans lists and audience JRM had them under a spell caused by clear thought and explanation which is so rare.
He could be the English version of Trump in the sense of being the exact opposite – if you understand – the reserved but precise English versus the brash loud American – but sharing a charisma which even a dimbly couldn’t undermine.
Caroline Lucas looked like a 14 year old in a good school being told things she never new and the fear in the labour bloke has obvious . Thanks again
Wonderful!
Terminological inexactitude.
Indeed.
Am not sure that Craig Oliver knew what that meant.

Big policy change with a big commitment by a big country to a big endeavour – ignored by a big broadcaster, the BBC.
Shouldn’t that read:
– ignored by a bigoted broadcaster, the BBC.
or
– ignored by a misbigotten broadcaster, the BBC.
So, the Maggie statue is to be blocked ‘for fear of vandalism’.
Mob rule: 1 – Rule of Law: 0.
Another victory for the fascist left.
Maybe they need a holiday – Venuezaila looks nice.
Noted that the Venezuelan opposition got badly attacked in their own Parliament the other day-but the BBC made it sound as if Maduros bunch were victims as opposed to those who oppose him and his worldwide cabal of communism. Which includes the BBC and Corbyn of course.
Fake News?..even better if there`s “NO” news according to the idiot left as paid for by us.

I covered that story last night with a little more information than what the bBC pushed out:
https://the-eyeontheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/venezuela-national-assembly-attacked-by.html
Including a very strange TV spot by the former bus driver.
Agreed Alicia. Note too that in the vast majority of beebistan reports on Venezuela the word Socialism never gets mentioned, though it is the cause of all Venezuela’s problems, a country with the largest oil reserves in the world where people starve.
(If the beeboids ever do any investigative journalism at all, it’s to try to somehow smear the US for the situation there.)

Dinner lady suspended after Manchester attack demonstration
The school should be immediately shut down for reasons of hatred and traitorous beliefs against the country’s right to free speech. Give the school dinner lady a 1 million pound payout for being patriotic. To be paid out of the teacher’s pension funds which will act as a deterrent to any further stupidity on their part.
Constantly I’m told the teachers are demanding a pay rise. They must be joking. They clearly have too much time on their hands. Their holidays are far too long.
They make sick with all their lazy, socialist, politically correct, middle class whinging.
Thanks for posting, Wronged.
This is an extract:
“”She said she attended with her mixed race husband, who is a former serviceman, to show solidarity with the bombing victims, not to support far-right extremism.””
Dover Sentry
Sounds very sackable in socialist Manchester
And the BBC report only shows a banner from the counter demonstration “Muslims are not the enemy”…there you go readers, take that thought away with you.
Not the spin in the link blurb
“co- organised by the ex-EDL leader”
BTW Rachel Booth was suspended for her opinion = #thoughtcrime
”it was a neutral act” the suspension….
Not a sue-able act, oh wait a minute.
These are the gross acts of pc intimidation that need pursued through the courts, and public service like the school made to pay and ridiculed, people need to fight back, they smeared her with the suspension.
Some Tory wants the Notting Hill Carnival re-routed in the light of the Grenfell Towers tragedy.
But Sadiq Khan-and our liberal media-accuse him of having a “gentrification agenda”-so the Carnival must go on as usual. No surprise there.
When labour get into power, rest assured that any marches WE might want will be getting banned for health and safety reasons…but when it suits the Left to foment revolution and stir the pot for Corbyn…well,none of that “respect for the victims”…” overstretching our public services”…kind of excuse stuff is there?
In all this, as in the US, the more desperate the Left/media/elites become – the more careless and unguarded they become, the more deranged they show themselves to be.
How do the media get away withthis anti-May, anti Brexit stuff. For a couple of days now, I`ve noticed that the endless chipping away at our vote meant by the BBC and ITV.
Basically-can we do a Norway and not leave the EU please?
And here`s the CBI, here`s Hague, Maude and other has-beens to tell us why we need to aspire to be a basket case with a paultry economy like them.
As opposed to Switzerland who DO have an economy.
We`re Britain-noted May sitting by Trump, Xi and Merkel in Hamburg….so we are NOT Norway are we?
But James Mates says she`s got no mates.
How do the media get AWAY with all this endless moaning-and is anybody building a case against them for their endless treachery?
They can`t slag off 17.4 million, so want May crippled and broken instead by proxy.
Who`s setting these endless lefty foxes into the henhouse-and shouldn`t we be fighting back?
If we can`t even get Trump into our country safely-can`t put a Maggie statue up in Trafalgar Square-and can`t resist re the license fee-well, Islam will wipe us out.
At least the Poles will go down fighting-rather think we`re giving up on our nation at times.
‘and shouldn`t we be fighting back?’
Yes Alicia we should
It is the Tory government who should be doing something about the BBC et al but don’t on the grounds of being spineless and beyond pathetic
What is with those BBC feckers? They just can’t get enough of Nazi memorabilia. As soon as there is Nazi memorabilia for sale or on display they get a team of BBC wenkers to promote it.
Here is the latest headlined on their World News Homepage and given a high priority spot: “In pictures: Nazi art trove on display – Some of the art hoarded by Cornelius Gurlitt goes on show at a Swiss museum before public display. 1 hour ago … One lonely man and his hoard of Nazi art …”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-40537709
To the BBC – you anti-Semitic, Nazi loving, anti-English scum – feck off.

The Beeb printing a fair story when they could pretty much point the finger of blame at any target of their choosing? I wouldn’t believe it unless i saw it with my own eyes, despite the bracketed caveat “This isn’t about Trump (entirely)” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40534768
They even mention that the violence is from the far Left, although obviously can’t directly name Antifa for fear of spoiling the narrative from previous coverage of ‘protests’ in the States (and their painting them as peaceful protesters or even the far right!) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-40529446
To be honest… I’m a little bit gobsmacked.
CNN effect?
Dave,
I’m not so sure, the bBC article still manages to blame the Police:
German protester Christian Luetzeler told Reuters those turning to violence were “really shooting themselves into the foot”. “But at the end of the day, the people have in fact been provoked,” he added. “The provocations still continue: not one politician from the government of Hamburg has come onto the street to de-escalate the situation. On the contrary, it is always pushed further.”
Which is strange as I wrote about this last night and there appears to be a lot of cars set of fire for no reason what so ever;
http://the-eyeontheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/germany-leftwing-protesters-having.html
Expect the bBC to air this story soon:
Muslim man searched on street for ‘wearing too many layers’ in hot weather
You just know how they will play this, don’t you.
Radio 4’s ‘Front Row’ (19:15-19:45) tonight included repeated attacks on President Trump, who was accused by wet lefty presenter Jon Wilson of having no knowledge of Western classical music and being likely to fall asleep during (or walk out of) the performance of Beethoven’s Ninth at the world leaders’ summit. He was still on the same theme as the programme ended. Pathetic and embarrassing, even by the low standards of the BBC.
By the way, is Jon Wilson another Dimbleby? David and Jonathan represent at least one Dimbleby too many, in view of what their father Richard was in the BBC. Wilson’s father is former Arsenal goalkeeper and League/Cup ‘Double’ winner (1971) Bob Wilson, who presented Football Focus on the BBC and worked for ITV too. Wilson junior has all the right attitudes that his paymasters require.
Note this tweet from listener dated June 4th
Friday’s Newsnight ties itself in knots as it keeps reminding us that the London Fire Brigade is formed of ‘heroes’ while trying to push the line that it is incompetent/not equipped to deal with the ‘one-in-70-year-fire’.
The BBC should stop trying to create ‘scandal’ stories and instead wait for the results of the inquiry, (but that can’t begin until the BBC gets its choice of gay, female, muslim, ‘undocumented’ marxist to tell us that ‘Thatcher dun it, innit).
As an aside, shouldn’t ‘everything’ be running fantastically well now that the EU, the UK, the Met and the London Fire Brigade are run by women? It probably would be if only Hilary hadn’t been cheated out of her due by the ‘Pussy Grabber’ in Chief.
This morning we can’t help but notice the BBC happily following the left into a fit summer madness.
G20 Protests. Reflexive protests. Let’s protest capitalism, a system that has lifted billions of the world’s masses out of subsistence poverty and continues to do so whilst every brave experiment into the marxist utopian alternative has ended in chaos and bloodshed.
London Pride March. A criticism of these events is that the participation is largely due to public sector workers ticking their diversity boxes – what do we hear today – “The event will be be led by the Emergency Services”. Oh and a rainbow flag will be projected onto some or other public building. What a metaphor that is!
Always hoped the Dimbleby dynasty might live to witness their own downfall – who would have guessed it might well eventually be at the hands of a BBC diversity firing squad replacing them with a tart in a turban. The BBC again herald the rise and rise of Nadiya. She has another new show.
Just for variety the BBC gives us another diversity issue to worry about – Gypsy kids are under-represented at Uni. A nice young non-travelling Uni gal with all the right-on views is at pains to tell us it’s not ‘cos they don’t want to go to school, it’s ‘cos us static tax-paying. law-abiding non-travellers are prejudiced. An actual former Irish Traveller – or Person of that Heritage or somesuch then tells us just about the opposite – school and university needs to adapt to suit their particular tastes. Someone ain’t telling the truth! Personally, I don’t give a gypsy’s…
Just me, or do others hereabouts discern that with that Corbyn and his mates gone quiet and the BBC left to its own devices it has gone into lefty summer meltdown
Good Ol’ Liberal/Lefty Multikulti Swedes – destroying themselves before our very eyes.
News not available from the BBC needless to say:
https://www.10news.one/sweden-on-the-brink-of-civil-war-national-police-chief-help-us-help-us/
The Swedish Government does not want to discuss the problems much less deal with them. Absolutely amazing. I suspect that when all goes completely wrong shortly, the “Leaders” will find themselves strung up, Mussolini fashion. You must watch the short documentary film.
Meanwhile, in the UK, we look forward to another 538,000 immigrants this year. Mainly muslims. The question is, will Treezer better that 2015/2016 figure? – from past performance, she will certainly give it a good try on our behalf!
Isn’t it amazing how we chose the hottest place in England to build our biggest Airport? Speedbird 680 can you try and get a bit of engine blast on the thermometer the BBC want to take a temperature check for their weather report .
Donald is such a naughty boy. Merkel has worked out how to control the climate on a lump of rock that is 25,000 miles round and travelling at 67,000 miles an hour through space and he doesn’t believe her
Toady watch
Just 5 minute exposure to Today this morning . 0833- discussion on Fullbright scholarships. Meeshel begins with a statement say how great they are the says The State Department is cutting funding by 50% . Then sticks some academic girl on who personally benefitted to say how great they are .
Never heard any more . Switched off . How can that discussion not have a contrary view. ? It’s an attack on a foreign country and , of course , Trump .
BBC Investigation into Grenfell – one fireman said it was helmet melting hot on the higher floors . There was toxic smoke and a horrible mess on the inside. Knock me down with a feather BBC Newsnight that is cutting edge reporting – you just wouldn’t expect that from a fire in a tower block.
What about all the discarded waste and mattresses littering the stairwells ? what about the over crowding ? who was living there – how many illegals? Why are these fridges not catching fire all over the place?
Few ideas BBC that I would be looking at above BBC if I was doing an investigation – I already know that fire is hot but thanks for pointing that out
Lock,
“Why are these fridges not catching fire all over the place?” – Precisely. Probably because one socket accommodated too many plugs. Would be interesting to know the average value of an apartment’s electricity bill…………….
More to the point, had they bypassed the meter? Will the enquiry be allowed to look at this sort of thing, or would that be to not empathise sufficiently with the victims?

For all the time and effort the bBC has devoted to Grenfell, I’ve yet to see any mention of the above. The day after the fire, I did a little research and found pictures which substantiated the discarded waste angle. It wasn’t hard to find as its on the Grenfell tower blog site:
https://grenfellactiongroup.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/grenfell-tower-still-a-fire-risk/
As for fridges, the vast majority of these people are third world immigrants, they think nothing of purchasing second and third hand white goods, the risk with that is self explanatory.
Nice work P
BBC your FlakeNews channel
Is BBC reporting on police officers injured by Lefty Thugs in Hamburg ?
And having seen the age group of these ‘thugs’ – who know nothing, (and yet get swept along like sheep cos their mates are doing it), I often wonder what happened to those ageing thugs who did exactly the same when all these G summit protests started years ago. Probably dead from drugs or sat watching from the comfort of their homes, having achieved bugger all. Laughable.
If the UNHCR, Soros, Treezer and the rest of the liberal multiculti degenerate gang in Europe have their way – ‘Coming to a town or City near you’ – Dunkirk?

Blame peripheral activities and people rather than tackling the prime and only source of the problem – islam.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/home-office-terrorist-funding-report-saudia-arabia-focus-not-publish-conservatives-government-a7766381.html
A classic example – Treezer: we must halt the flow of money that goes to the individual terrorist which enables him/her to carry out atrocities (cost of buying a kitchen knife and hiring a vehicle?……). No mention whatever of the £millions (perhaps Billions) that come into the country to spread islam and particularly Wahhabism from Saudi Arabia. No, no, that’s alright apparently.

So, we have a possible future trade deal with the U.S, and then there’s the talk of ‘single market’ with Europe.
I often wonder what exactly it is that we ‘trade’ ! We have no manufacturing industry to speak of, the coal industry has gone, our magnificent steel industry – what’s left of it, been taken over by the Indians – Tata, wool and cotton mills long disappeared, there is a car industry of sorts although again Tata bought into that. I’m not including all the smaller family firms that manufacture engineering parts etc, or the whisky distilleries, but everything we buy is China stamped, or ‘made in the EU’ !
Brissles
IMMSMC it was the Prime Minister of the time (whose name escapers me but he was a b***** lier) who sold/gave our steel industry to the Indians.
Quite a lot going on by the looks of it ….
The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in UK global shipments during 2016. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from United Kingdom.
Machinery including computers: US$60.3 billion (14.7% of total exports)
Vehicles : $51.7 billion (12.6%)
Pharmaceuticals: $32.6 billion (8%)
Gems, precious metals: $27.5 billion (6.7%)
Electrical machinery, equipment: $27.1 billion (6.6%)
Mineral fuels including oil: $26.2 billion (6.4%)
Aircraft, spacecraft: $20.7 billion (5.1%)
Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $17.2 billion (4.2%)
Plastics, plastic articles: $11.2 billion (2.7%)
Organic chemicals: $10.8 billion (2.6%)
Vehicles were the fastest-growing among the top 10 export categories, up 80.8% for the 7-year period starting in 2009.
In second place for improving export sales was the aerospace category which gained 72.7% led by significant international sales for airplanes and turbojets.
UK exported gems and precious metals posted the third-fastest gain in value up 64.4% thanks to booming gold and platinum shipments.
Mineral fuels including oil led the decliners down by -34.5%
I’m sure that if services were included in these stats, Ken Loach and Danny Boyle films would be right up there.
(Sorry, pet hate of mine)
Never apologise for deriding Loach and Boyle, the sole distinction between the two is the depth of their absurdity – and that’s purely subjective.
I think Boyle is a standard sort of wet lefty; it’s hard to get anywhere in “The Arts” if you are not. Loach, on the other hand, is a hard line Marxist-Leninist. Come the Revolution, he would be compiling a list of class enemies to be sent to the re-education camps.
Wow ! thanks for that Locky , I really had NO idea ! I mean, about the Gems and Precious Metals !! where do I start digging for the rubies and emeralds then ?? and I thought that our one gold mine in Wales became extinct years ago. Sorry, I’m not being facetious but UK exported gems and precious metals ? clearly I really am stuck in the wool and cotton mill era !!
Anytime B – I am as shocked as you
I imagine the figures refer to things like uncut gems which are cut and polished in the UK and then exported, having had value added by skilled craftsmen.
Correct, RIC. We have two gem districts in London. Hatton Garden, of course, plus a smaller one hidden away either side of Oxford Street.
There may be others elsewhere in the UK.
There is a specialist silversmithing area in Birmingham.
Such a shame, BBC, all that downmarket pandering for nothing:
Never mind the Tories, another British institution has the lost the young: the BBC
“In 2014/15, the number of TV licences issued was still just about growing, yet it had become decoupled from the growth in households – while the number of households grew by 236,000 the number of licences increased by 88,000.”
More than one reason for that, perhaps?
“……..it still seems to be 1936 in the minds of many BBC people. They cannot see the generational timebomb ticking away in front of them, and maybe won’t be until it is too late.”
Quite.
It would be interesting to see the average age of a licence payer, though as it’s by household probably not an easy figure to get, my suspicion is that the more mature of the populace are contributing the bulk of it. The danger here is the BBC somehow cobbling together an extremely unpopular case for a slice of general taxation should there be a rapid decline in revenue, unlikely, but a possibility if they continue dragging their heels towards the inevitable.
“while the number of households grew by 236,000 the number of licences increased by 88,000.”
mmmm could it be that so-called immigrants don’t buy TV licences?
Wash your mouth out!
Who needs to buy a licence fee when you get your news from Al Jeezera?
Going to be a bad weekend for the British Bedwetting Corporation – G20 being told Climate change is a load of old tosh and USA / UK big big trade deal . What can they find to knock our beautiful Country for now?
Shouldn’t be too much trouble for them Lock. Give them another hour or so….
If all else fails, I offer them this FOC, “Whiteboards are racist – boards of colour are inclusive.”
Never mind all this chat about long ladders, the BBC is deploying an emergency brigade of dozens to dowse President Trump’s warm words about a UK trade deal with gallons of cold water.
John Pienaar, James Robbins, Ros Atkins… is anyone from Red Watch missing out on the overtime this weekend?
Look out, the BBC News Channel are bringing in the big watercannon…
Prof Margaret MacMillan Oxford Don, no less.
Who she, you ask?
Well Lloyd George knew her father ‘Her maternal grandmother, Olwen Elizabeth, Lady Carey Evans, DBE, was a daughter of David Lloyd George’ – well near enough.
‘MacMillan’s sister Ann was the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)’s London correspondent for almost forty years, retiring in 2013, and is married to the British journalist Peter Snow, making Margaret the aunt of their son Dan Snow.’
Keep it in the family, eh?
‘On the ten-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York, MacMillan wrote an essay on the consequences of the acts, in which she dismissed the power of Osama bin Laden and stressed the secular nature of the Arab Spring revolutions that deposed Hosni Mubarak’ – well, she got that one wrong.
By the way, is the official logo for G20 in Germany a granny knot? Is that some sort of a tribute to Merkel?
Great post, AISI.
You put in words (45 mins before!) what I had been thinking after listening to the 1pm R4 News.
“By the way, is the official logo for G20 in Germany a granny knot? Is that some sort of a tribute to Merkel?”
No, it represents where globalisation has got us, stuck on a reef (knot).
Media’s everyday racism ?
Media seem to give different treatmenr to the case of Chad Evans and the Ghanian Deloitte guy who just got cleared of rape in a black cab.
I don’t think much of a 25yr old guy who has sex in a cab with a 21 year old girl he just met, it seems like sexual assault to me. There doesn’t seem any clear consent it’s just his word against his.
Odd though – the last G20 was held in a castle off the beaten track to avoid protestors, terrorists and nut jobs.
Did Merkel choose Hamburg to be more convenient for anti Trump protestors?
We really trashed Hamburg in WW2 – now they do it their selves – progress?
Gaxvil, the thought occurred to me that Merkel was holding this G20 in Hamburg in order to get the ‘conservative’ population of Germany thoroughly upset at the antics of LeftMob. She will be hoping that their disgust and ire will carry them into the polling booths in vast numbers in September to vote for her instead of Martin Schulz.
Cynical? Moi?
‘snuff,
I’m really not one for conspiracy theories but either Germans haven’t taken account of recent events and are utterly feckless and irresponsible or there is an undisclosed agenda which seems likely.
gax, these ‘G’ gatherings have been an excuse for a punch-up for some time so I think you have a point. Cock-ups are a constant in government these days. Why not turn them to advantage?
They could have held the G20 in Bonn or Stuttgart or Munich or Nuremburg or Dresden or Leipzig or Berlin or Hanover or Cologne.
“Nein. We will let them trash Hamburg.”
Apparently after recent terrorist attacks the shopping precinct loonies/alcoholics have been shouting out at passing Muslims.
I’m guessing that may account for 90% of reported “hate crimes” around here.
When there were punks around the same nutters would shout out at them.

The fuse has been lit and is quietly sizzling away…………….
All this is so obvious and well within Islamic cultural preferences.
There is no meritocratic and progressive ladders for Muslims when the Chechen or Pakistani villages assume leadership. Go to Pakistan…the tribe, the kinship is the law.
Sharia and revenge are cheap, clearly laid out and sanctified. The Pakistani law is slow, expensive and provides no justice or deterrent.
Similar to us I`d say. These Chechen nasties and family vendettas, barbarisms are exactly what we`ve imported…and the likes of Rowan Williams and Lord Phillips said would be alright.
The Chechens will be a nasty tough little breed, Putin hasn`t squashed them has he?
All these psychopaths are doing is using their religion to sort out women and terrorise the region, so Islam will become the natural and only form of justice wanted.
They look at “mans law”-Hutton, Hillsborough, Grenfell, Cherie Blair-and they just laugh, as should we.

How do you post screenshots? I can save the image to my hard disk as a .jpg or .png but all I see for image upload is a URL entry form. Is it necessary to upload the image to some third party website first, or can it be uploaded direct from my hard drive? Thanks in advance. Hawk.
Hi Hawk
You can only do it via a website.
One I use is TinyPic, also Free Image Hosting, but there are many others you can find via Google.
Simple process, create a free account, then just upload your picture to the website, then it will give you a link to post here.
If you are a Twitter user there is an easy way.
First open a new browser tab and tweet the image
– Then rightckick over the post time of the tweet
And select copy URL
– Then come back to this tab and paste the URL into the comment box.
When you then hit post the software here reproduces your tweet and image from that URL
Any Question what a virtue signalling arse fest
featuring what sounded like a crying “normal representative british person” who proudly claims to have just 4 and a half GCSES
“Jack Monroe” (born 17 March 1988)[2] is a British writer, journalist and activist who has campaigned over poverty issues, particularly hunger relief, and has published a blog and several books of “austerity recipes”. As a non-binary person, Monroe rose into prominence for writing a blog titled A Girl Called Jack, and has since written for publications such as The Echo, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, and The New Yorker. Monroe has campaigned alongside various British charity organisations.

Climate change is the biggest threat to Europe

LGBTQ++ rights havent gone far enough, really how much farther can they go?? animals ? children? gay dogging safe spaces?
blah blah blah
is this the idiot who got pregnant to some random bloke gave up work and then started complaining about how difficult it was being an unemployed mother?? I think it might be
best bit was her/he/she/thing complaining about commercialisation of Pride events
It wanted normalisation of its perversions of choice, now its complaining it being mainstream
look at me look at me look at me im not special anymore
send a memo
Dear Jack
You never were special you are just a spoilt arsehole incapable of holding your own water
and When your lovely smorgasbord rapes/kills/burkhas you
I will be sitting here laughing, I certainly wont be coming to your assistance
In contrast, Suella Fernandes MP was something of a discovery. Obviously nervous and ‘being careful’ in what she said, she held up well as the very much minority of 1 on the Panel and in a hall that did not have as balanced an audience – if the ‘Mogginator’ clips above are anything to go by – as the previous evening’s Question Time on TV.
I have a liitle bit of news for “Jack”: if you have female genitals, you are a woman. Since “Jack” produced a child, she is clearly the owner of a womb and a set of ovaries, so she is a woman.
A few unfortunate people have parts of the male and female sex organs. It is very sad for them, but they might legitimately be called “non binary” or “gender fluid”. The likes of “Jack” Monroe, on the other hand, are just deluded attention seekers.
You can have sex with anyone and in any position you like, “Jack”, but you are, and will always be, a woman.
“A few unfortunate people have parts of the male and female sex organs. It is very sad for them, but they might legitimately be called “non binary” or “gender fluid”.”
I think I’m right in saying that the unfortunate people you refer to are still “one or the other” genetically and can be fertile, but only one set of gonadal tissue is active (the usual jokes don’t work in practice). I say “think”, because I understand there are extremely rare sex differentiation disorders that only researchers are familiar with.
The attention seekers you mention are probably doing a great disservice to those with serious, genuine, irreversible abnormalities.
Kaiser,
Can’t do AQs these days but on the subject of fluid and none binary WTF?
Izzard in his book (R4) writes that people should be able to dress how they want. He wakes and says, “Am I having a boy day or a girl day?”
Sorry but it is some kind of brain dysfunction and requires treatment. All the endless publicity and attempts to make normal men feel guilty and wrong because they don’t want to ponce around in the wife’s bra and pants really fucks me off.
Abnormal is abnormal – outside the bounds of normality.
What he means is “How much attention do I want to draw to myself today?”. And having sought attention, he can then act all offended when he gets it.
Thse are very needy exhibitionists, too lazy to get the raincoat and flash on the school bus as of old.
Their sexuality is their private affair, but I resent them getting a living after flaunting their monoerotic perversions-whilst ensuring that the straights, the norms, the beige and boring get no jobs, no representation on media outlets.
Not one of their grievance deviants gives a stuff about white kids in Worthing getting no jobs, no education and no respect for being “ordinary”.
As for this gender crap…it`s so easy isn`t it?
Chromosomes.
I`m XX…many here are XY.
No fiddling or games required….yes, I know of some unusual ones but let`s see the likes of Jack Monroe tell me that she`s not XX.
Funny when the genome, the DNA obsessions and logic disappear in media discussions .
I can understand Mr Izzard’s predicament. 50% of the time he acts like a Pr**k, and the other 50% he acts like a Cu*t.
No mean achievement.
Well put Mr.Lobby
O/T smart meters are certainly NOT compulsory despite what Eon tell you
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/bills-and-utilities/gas-electric/smart-meter-roll-out-getting-one-still-compulsory
It’s only a matter of time before gaz and leccy are compulsorily monitored, and centrally controlled for all of us. They are plugging these stupid meters every minute of the fucking day on Classic FM, and elsewhere. Of COURSE they’ll become compulsory, whatever we’re told.
Am I correct in thinking, OG, that a ‘Smart’ meter also consumes power as does its remote control?
If that is true, then they do not appear to be very smart as far as all the Anthropogenic Global Warming and Climate Change they are causing. Should not somebody in Government have asked before they encouraged a taxpayer subsidised roll out of the devices?
I don’t know the facts about the consumption of the devices themselves. Suffice it to say, there are problems with many of them, and people have also been experiencing difficulties if they wish to change service providers. Like everything else introduced by the government to control us, they throw up so many intrinsic difficulties that invariably the system fails, as this one will.
Will you guys give up your ridiculous assertion that the BBC is vastly disproportionatelly prejudiced against heterosexuals /sarc
Radio3 “Queer Icons: Sappho. Part of Gay Britannia
New Generation Thinker Catherine Fletcher talks to Jonathan Dollimore about his memoir and the influence of the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence which he set up at Sussex University. The Greek poet Sappho is championed by Professor Margaret Reynolds as part of Queer Icons – a project to mark the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in which 50 leading figures choose an LGBT artwork that is special to them. And Rohit Dasgupta from Loughborough University talks about his research published in Digital Queer Cultures in India.”

Jeez guys! I just don’t know what to do – become a transvestite or become a Muslim?
The bbc pushes each with the same priority,
The first is optional, the second is inevitable.
For the indecisive – it’s not possible to be both is it ?
Wear a burqa and keep people guessing.

Unbelievable. Hamburg – not protestors. Terrorists.
Does Germany have a, Riot Act? They’ll need an EU grant to clean that up. If a Government can’t protect the people’s life and property?
They really should have shot a few violent nasties , at things like the worst aspects of the poll tax riots, Occupy and Black Lives Matter set ups when we still had a rule of law and courts that punished the taking of the law onto the streets.
Now the law is hollowed out and useless, it`s probably too late.
Very dangerous.
This seems to be going well in the comments:
“Creative access” will be Common Purpose, because Peston and Julia Middleton are thick as thieves..
“All roles advertised through Creative Access are only open to UK nationals from a black, Asian or non-white ethnic minority.”
Why is that legal?
All roles advertised through Creative Access are only open to *UK nationals* from a black, Asian or non-white ethnic minority.
Clearly discriminates against EU nationals and ALL EU nationals who can speak English are supposed to have same employment rights as British
BTW the principal of privileging BAME is that they never see “people like me” on TV
but neither do I see “people like me” on TV
Our North Lincs region has 240K people but we never see any of them working on national TV
Is that cos of discrimination or cos smart people stay off #MetroBubble Media?
Oh dear, someone is getting upset that there is a market for Dr. Jordan Peterson’s brand of sanity!
Imagine that, people willing to pay to support an opinion rather than having to pay to have someone run you down at every opportunity.
I like the idea that Peterson should share out his money to support other opinions as there is no reason in principle, (and I thought it was part of its charter), for the BBC to air alternative viewpoints.
P.S. Peterson says that he wants to use the money to develop an online university to break the monopoly of expensive Marxist-dominated degree factories.
The prof refuses to obey a stupid rule about not using “he” and “she”

Why are we paying for BBC staff to go cottaging and cruising around such events as this?
And now that Channel 4 AND the BBC are co-ordinating a joint “celebration” of Gay Liberation, it`s going to get a whole lot worse. They seem intent on sticking their crotches into our faces and daring us to say we don`t want it done…my sons are not theirs to lech over, and they need to be careful.
No objection at all to their private lives, but this grooming of the next generation is bugging me.
Both BBC and Channel 4 seem to sneer at the fact that “love was a crime”.
No it wasn`t-stalking boys and young men who were underage or confused and less clever than they used to be though. It`s not any more .
Bob Hope said he was OK with homosexuality becoming legal-but he feared that it would then become compulsory afterwards.
If you want to work for Eddie Mair or cBBC, then that is where we now are, so it seems.
For many, I’m afraid, male homosexuality remains a pain in the arse.
Unbelievable !!! Just switched on to Ch 4 to watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and up pops Jon Snow’s voice saying “I’m Jon Snow, news presenter on Ch 4 and I’m proud to be a supporter of London’s Gay Pride, 2017 is going to be a great year”. WTF was that in aid of ???
It was in aid of their unashamed thrusting of all this sexual deviation at us from all directions, because they feel we should all subscribe to any and every deviancy there is, and like it. There is no redress, it’s in our faces, and we can do fuck all about it. That’s one reason why I refrain from watching television as far as I am able. We are being degraded wholesale. Even the police and other government bodies have been “turned”, and are encouraging us to surrender our morals.
Yeh agreed OG – you see the British Army tweeting in the week about how they are proud to fly the rainbow flag or some such nonsense – Sodom and Gomorrah springs to mind. We have turned the youth of today into girl boys and we are letting in hordes of inbred migrants . I will say this again BBC people where do you think you will go when this all turns very nasty – Islington is not behind some big protected wall you know – think on you will be the first people the brown eyed boys come for
Won’t be long before we see this kind of thing for real:
Due to the MSM we have reached a point in our society where we are are standing on the edge of a abyss.
The BBC and friends have driven a bulldozer through all the established moral boundaries in the name of “freedom of speech” and seem particularly obsessed with all things about sex and particularly gay sex. This mainstreaming of the “private” has also normalised and allowed a flourishing pornography industry which has become much more accessible to everyone including minors.
This obsessing and focusing on the “gay community” because they are a favoured minority has all been In the name of “freedom” of speech. Yet at the same time anyone who raises any objection or who wants any sort of healthy debate on the subject has been either “shut down” by the homophobic accusations or has been pursued by the law (as in the recent Ashers bakery case)
Because all debate has been shut down, and the interests of favoured minorities pushed relentlessly (the MSM and particularly the BBC) has been able to neatly sidestep any of the absurb and obvious contradictions to freedom which are evident. Particularly Islams attitude towards homosexuality, or the freedom of everyone else to visit some public toilets or parks without feeling that some people will assume they are “up for it”
This default press antipathy to debate involving favoured minorities has also enabled those who want to harm us to spread their own poison (and here I am referring to some Islamic preachers) behind the protective screen of press censorship.
Because the press has neatly compartmentalised society favouring some communities over others they have helped to destroy the integrity of our spirit and one nationhood to a point many do not really know what our values as a nation really are.
No-one in their right mind wants to return to the days of making homosexuality illegal. But just as in normal sex I dont particularly want to see it paraded 24/7. Whats private should remain private.
Whilst on the face of it this mind numbing gay twerking fest appears harmless – In the long run it is symptomatic of a decadence and lack of belief in our own traditions and culture that could well be our undoing.
Old Goat,
“It was in aid of their UNASHAMED THRUSTING of all this sexual DEVIATION at us from all directions, because they feel we should all subscribe to any and every DEVIANCY there is, and LIKE it. There is no redress, it’s in our FACES, and we can do fuck all about it. That’s one reason why I refrain from watching television AS FAR AS I AM ABLE. We are being DEGRADED wholesale. Even the police and other government bodies have been “TURNED”, and are encouraging us to SURRENDER our morals.”
Blimey, some gay and straight people have a happy and joyful day-out in the London sunshine;
Without a single thought of how much SUFFERING that must cause.
For you personally…
Living in France…
Refraining from watching television.
OH, THE SUFFERING!
And then there was one.

Durham miners Gayla followed up by the London homosexual fest
Fedup
Are there any Durham miners anymore ? 😉
Tafman
certainly many on very good pensions and the pay off when the mines closed was generous .
Irony is of course is that there would have been huge pressure to close coal mining cos some( not me ) thinks coal warms the globe .
When the NUM took on HMG there wasn’t any hype on world heating
Fedup
How many kids today with ‘yooni degrees would love to work underground – perhaps Arthur Scargill can tell us – Ha !
This was exactly my thoughts Taff when I heard he was going to address the Miners Gala. I hadn’t realised these ‘galas’ were still in existence, but clearly tens of thousands turned up, so they must be ! I would hazard a guess they would have been the children and grandchildren of those that actually DID go down a mine decades ago – and would probably cry for Mummy if they experienced half what those miners endured whilst at the coal face.
BRISSLES
For starters , there’s no WiFi down there and the ‘poor little snowflakes’ would get very black and dirty.
Hmm me neither how is Stephen Fry married to a young boy something to be celebrated – Tom Daley going out with some old pervert TV Director – it is sick. I’m not gay but I don’t want a ‘I’m not Gay ‘ day every year .
And while we are on the subject could we use Gary Lineker’s ears to maybe gather wind-power? It would help with that damn changing climate . Personally I want the climate to be exactly the same every day and if we sign up to Paris we will have saved the World – not actually quite sure what the perfect temperature is? and how they are going to stop the 20 degree swings we get most days but the BBC know best
BBC becoming a parody of itself
“while we are on the subject could we use Gary Lineker’s ears to maybe gather wind-power? It would help with that damn changing climate”. says Lock13 @9.25pm.
Indeed and get him to bring those 4 answers to “Big Ears” he has on his twitter page..they should make a difference! Are they all his progeny or some random “fans”? If the former ..with whom were they “made”..more than one woman I’d guess..but I don’t know for sure & I am now fascinated (as someone told me categorically that they weren’t 4 random illegals that had been adopted!).
He has a head like a ‘wing nut’. 😀

Apparently Spain is in the sht and if they lose the UK tourist industry they are royally screwed – we are not jetting off to muslim shtholes Europe for our hols – Comprendez?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/6228390/Spain-tips-into-depression.html
Ironic that so many of our Labour supporting Remainer youth wanted to find work in Spain despite its high rate of unemployment, so deluded.
Taffman,
Apparently the Italians are finally getting annoyed that their country is being taken over under their feet.
The wonderful humanitarian cab service taking illegals off the hands of smugglers and bringing them the the EU have no thought of the consequences .
I cannot understand why no one has used their military to destroy the ports of origin
I don’t think a port is needed to launch these migrant boats. A sensible ‘rescue’ policy would offload the migrants, seize/destroy their craft and then return the migrants from whence they came.
If a Sicilian fisherman got into trouble off the coast of Sicily and they were rescued by a passing French frigate one wouldn’t expect them to be taken to Bordeaux. A ‘rescue’ would land survivors at the nearest convenient port, indeed doing that in the current situation would improve the availability of the rescue craft.
Clearly what is going on is not a rescue operation but an assisted passage scheme.
“Europe is being invaded and the EU are unable to do anything about it …………..”
Not unable. Unwilling. For reasons I can’t begin to fathom, because the inevitable outcome must surely be obvious even to the most self-deluded.
Roland Deschain
We should be alright in the UK, remember this promise ………………………….
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-pledges-to-control-and-reduce-immigration
Now, if Theresa would enforce that Tory promise as her prime commitment, she would strengthen her position with the electorate and most of the British people – we are a small island and we have a shortage of houses, hospitals and school places.
Its common sense.
You and I both know she has no intention of fulfilling that promise. God knows that governments of all political persuasions have had enough chances. They don’t have the balls to resist the siren voices of the BBC and its likes which would brand “racist” any party that did so.
And yet anyone who listens to people’s concerns would know that such actions would be immensely popular, #despiteBBC. But it needs someone with a Trump-like personality, who cares not what the media says about him or how deranged the opposition becomes, because he knows how to bypass the media.
Surely the headline should be Rejoice !

did a search on this website – “Migrant crisis: ‘Hipster right’”..no result..so will post this from AlBeeb which I found both interesting and rather refreshing…I wish them well..the “Hipsters Right” I mean!:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40505337
“Migrant crisis: ‘Hipster right’ group trying to stop rescue ships. Fiercely anti-immigration and anti-Muslim, its aim is to stop mass migration to Europe. With headquarters in Austria and France, the group may be small in size, but its message is starting to resonate in Italy – a country where sympathy for migrants is wearing thin.
As the number of people seeking to reach Europe rises again, Italy continues to be the major point of entry for those arriving illegally on boats – particularly in the south.
However, attitudes are hardening and now this new “alt-right” movement says it will do whatever it can to protect Italian identity and culture from outsiders.”
“…The stunt failed but the group has now managed to raise more than €70,000 (£62,000) in less than three weeks, which it says it will invest in its “Defend Europe” campaign.”
I googled “Defend Europe campaign.”..and I seemed to be blocked!..surprise!!..try it ..may just be my VPN?

“PayPal blocks donations to far-right campaign hampering migrant rescue efforts in Mediterranean
Published time: 15 Jun, 2017 01:09”
PayPal’s online payments system has blocked contributions to a fundraiser by a French far-right group, which planned to charter a boat to hamper migrant rescue efforts in the Mediterranean. The blocking followed public outcry and a social media campaign.
“Our policy is to prevent our services being used by companies whose activities promote hatred, violence or racial intolerance,” PayPal said, explaining the move to French-language Rue89 website. The US company limited itself to a short statement, explaining that its privacy policy prevented it from commenting on a specific PayPal account.
France-based Generation Identitaire (Generation Identity), backed by similar groups from across Europe, launched its “Defend Europe” campaign in early May.
I’ll happily donate £20..& if many tens of thousands do that we might just have a chance of helping these guys & stopping this madness if they can get their collective act together.
It might be a £20 punt ..but there’s more at stake than the outcome of tomorrow’s 13:40 at Ayr (my tip at 6-1 with William Hill is “itsalongroad” !!).
If only someone from their outfit can properly organise a crowdfunding type event..hope you’re reading this guys.
