    Sorry I lack the skill to link, but Paul Joseph Watson’s Twitter shows that the BBC’s biggest bully, John Sweeney, has re-Tweeted a photoshopped picture of Trump &co paying homage to Putin at the G20. In the original photo Putin is absent, the chair into which he was put was the vacant UK seat. BBC ever keen to fall for fake news that feeds their prejudices.

    A black woman in this coffee shop on campus has been really friendly today and has made me some lovely coffees. How am I oppressing her exactly? Should she have seen the colour of my skin and warned me of my ‘privilege’ or accuse me of cultural appropriation for enjoying rap music? What sort of sane, decent person thinks like that?

    My doctor is from Pakistan and is a bit camp. As a straight white man how am I oppressing him? He has a much better job than me. I don’t resent it. Should I complain that I need my psychiatrist to be white so he can understand me better, as I can only relate to white people? Should I hold placards saying ‘medicine so brown’ and post it on Twitter? Of course not, but this is the lunatic world the Beeb inhabits.

    You cannot apply the rules of oppressor and oppressed to cultures like the Frankfurt School did; it clearly applies to money but not to culture. Cultures are shaped by all sorts of things, including the geography of where they originate from. The Australians I have known have all been so fun-loving and outgoing and that must be something to do with their homeland being a tropical paradise. I’m sure part of the dry British sense of humour derives from how annoyingly rubbish our weather is.

    Some cultures do worse than others not because they are ‘oppressed’ but because they are not as good. I remember all the Indian kids in my school working their socks of so they could become doctors, whilst so many white British kids could not be bothered. I can’t claim I was ‘oppressed’ by Indian kids in my school and that is why they have a better job than me. I should have worked harder – it is entirely my fault. Equally, certain communities have problems not due to racism but because of their values. A slovenliness Churchill rightly noted as an issue amongst followers of a certain ideology will lead to problems – have 20% never had a job? You can’t feel overly good about yourself or take control of your life if you have never had a job.

    Cultural Marxism is all a house built on sand so no wonder it is all falling apart. That sand was preposterous idea that one could apply Marxist economic theory to culture. Culture is a different beast entirely. It is like having Wayne Rooney lead your church choir because he is good at football.

    Identity politics is so popular as it legitimises people not taking responsibility for their actions and instead blaming it on ‘oppression.’ It is nonsense.

    “It matters not how strait the gate
    How charged with punishments the scroll.
    I am the master of my fate
    I am the captain of my soul.”

    Sorry rant over. Back to work.

      A perfectly reasonable rant.

      I think the identity politics hustlers are overplaying their cards and normally tolerant people are starting to tire of it. That’s the impression I get – I’m hearing it more and more from people who don’t generally show much awareness of such things.

      Browse through the latest National Trust brochure. The number of ethnics in the photographs is more than excessive, it’s outrageous. But, in a way, this is a good thing. It accelerates the “pissing off” process and maybe we’ll get back to something approaching sanity eventually. Worse is better.

      In any case, it doesn’t work. The ethnicities featured in most of the photographs are the ones you never see. I suppose that is what the NT sees as its duty to correct. I wish them good luck.

        As someone predicted in a seminal speech, the Race Relations Act created a privileged class of citizens with special protections which undermined the principle that we should all be equal before the law. He also correctly predicted that it would spawn countless ‘provocateurs’. Most of the race relations industry is glorified shit stirring.

        I think Rotherham was when the house of cards really fell apart. That we could have been told about the horrors of ‘micro aggressions’ and similar nonsense whilst ignoring the terrible crimes perpetrated because the victims were white.

        Powell spoke of the problem being that many communities did not want to integrate. He was vilified for this. Well, gang raping children on an industrial scale is taking refusal to integrate to pretty extreme levels.

        Yet still the Beeb bang on about this same old PC shite as they want an easy life. They claim to speak truth to power. They have all the power and use it to spread falsehoods to the weak.

          On a wide scale, yes. In places like Bradford it had been falling apart for years – Ray Honeyford etc.

          Douglas Murray has said that one of the consequences of immigration and multiculturalism is that we are going to be spending the rest of our lives talking about race.

    “Entire sections of booster rocket were snagged by South Korea’s navy and then scrutinized by international weapons experts for clues about the state of North Korea’s missile program. Along with motor parts and wiring, investigators discerned a pattern. Many key components were foreign-made, acquired from businesses based in China. … In public comments after the Ma arrest, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said his country would be “relentless” in enforcing sanctions aimed at ridding the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.”

    When I was a small child, I was given a metal piggy bank- no offence to pigs.
    Its in the form of a happy smiling person and made me very happy.
    I still have it. You put a coin in the hand and press the lever and the hand is raised and the coin is deposited in the mouth of the person’s face.
    The name of the toy is imprinted on the back. It is called the Jolly Nigger Bank.
    That is the name visible for all to see. Fact.
    That happy smiling face always gave me a positive feeling.

    You see, you can choose to give offence but you can choose to take offence.
    The hounding of the MP eho used the N word in a phrase many have used for decades tells you all you need to know about the Fascist Left.
    What a shame the Fascist left do not have the same outrage over the bullying of various Labour MPs such as Yvette Cooper and Luciana Berger. But then, it is they who are orchestrating it.
    And to think swathes of young voters vociferously support those who think the latter behaviour is not only acceptable but to be encouraged. What disgusting hypocrites.

    Three arrested over boy’s circumcision in Nottingham {jun 2017}
    A 61-year-old man, believed to be the doctor who carried out the procedure, has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent. The boy’s mother complained to police, saying her son was circumcised without her consent while staying with his paternal grandparents in July 2013.
    – article does not ask why parents did it? Or what traditions were being followed.

    Here are some more practices associated with CGM …

    Health officials have reached a tentative agreement with New York City’s ultra-Orthodox community over regulating the controversial practice known as metzitzah b’peh, or “oral suction circumcisions,” (Rabbi sucks childs penis after circumcision) the Associated Press reported Tuesday. … The tradition of metzitzah b’peh goes back to biblical times but has created a modern-day dilemma for religiously observant mankind. New York City officials linked the practice to 17 cases of infant herpes since 2000, of whom two died.

    BBC seems to think it has found collusion between Russia and Donald Trump Jr.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/40574564

    “US President Donald Trump’s son has released an email chain showing he was offered “sensitive” information on Hillary Clinton by a Russian national.”

    Well, time will tell but already I catch a whiff of bullshit.

    The article goes on to say

    The email to Mr Trump Jr says “the Crown prosecutor of Russia” had “offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father”.

    Don’t know about anyone else, but if someone offered me something from the Russian “crown prosecutor” I’d say, “aye, right”. I think most of us know what happened to the Russian crown and would treat it as a hoax. I’d imagine young Trump would too. The article acknowledges that there’s no such thing but doesn’t seem to connect any dots. Well, why would it when there’s a Trump to bash?

      It’s so hard to admit defeat when they have put so many eggs in this basket. They are like a losing gambler who keeps losing on red then doubles his stake only to lose again. Sometimes it is best to accept defeat and walk away as chasing losses is when it can get really bad. With every spurious Trump/Russia ‘story’ they lose more and more credibility, and more and more viewers as people are so sick and tired of hearing all this whiny innuendo. Someone might have met someone Russian? It’s not exactly Monica Lewinsky level scandal. It’s just so boring.

      The best lies have to be believable. They are pulling all their dirty tricks to kick up a stench but there has to be a ring of truth to the story to start with. Can you really see that Alpha male patriot Trump sucking up to Putin? I can’t imagine him sucking up to anyone.

    The BBCs loathing of the gig economy was well and truly exposed by Guido today. All the interviewees who castigated Uber, Deliveroo and the Taylor Report were hard left union activists posing as non political individuals who hated working in the gig economy and wanted paid sick leave, holiday pay, employer pensions etc. If anyone genuinely dislikes this way of earning a living they should just get an unskilled job at the minimum wage on conventional terms. See how they like that! And of course they face more tax and NI.

      In a 2008 interview with the wife of serial killer Steve Wright (the “Suffolk Strangler”), Burley has been widely criticised for asking his wife “Do you think if you’d had a better sex life he wouldn’t have done this?”[14]

      Images from 2008 show Burley appearing to strangle reporter Kirsty Wigglesworth outside the Naomi Campbell hearing, which a Sky News spokesperson explained by saying “Kay Burley was provoked by a hard hit to the face with a camera.”

      We haven’t left the EU, we have just served notice of the intent to leave.

      Until we do leave we are still bound by EU treaty which means that things like trade deals are still an EU ‘competence’ and beyond the control of national governments.

      We still aren’t free to be able to reduce VAT rates below those of our ‘partners’ or nationalise the railways, (Corbyn please note), if we were daft enough to want to do it.

    These are entitled thick lotus eaters and parasitic sloths who want to stay in bed and feed us all to Islam or to Merkels mincers.

    Last weeks BBC Trending prog was a huge Dig and Britain First including at Jayda Fransen
    The anti-immigration party trying to recruit immigrants
    “Britain First, a far-right British political party known for their extreme anti-immigration policies, ”
    .. Hm I know nothing about them apart from that they are anti-Muslim religion
    So those quoted words look like BBCTr trying to build a narrative rather that the truth.
    Their narrative being ‘Look this is bizarre BF are an extreme anti-immigration party yet they are recruiting British Resident Polish people’
    Well, BCTr are LibMob so seem to very easily mix up anti-free-immigration and anti-free-immigrant.

    And for a start “Jayda Fransen” isn’t the typical English name
    ..it sounds Flemish or something
    So I wouldn’t expect BF to be anti-foreigner.

    BBC Trending do seem a bit cultish each one of their progs features disproportionate focus and positivity on Ethnic-muslims, whilst at the same time they have an obsession with labelling anyone not conforming to LibMob as “far right” “extreme right”

    So after building up their narrative about BF being “a far-rightextreme anti-immigration party” I’m thinking why don’t you just ask them ?
    And blow me yes they did interview Jayda
    BBC “So what would happen to all the Polish people in Britain”
    Jayda : “Er nothing, cos we are not an anti-immigrant party”
    BBC “Yeh, but yeh, but”
    Then BBC says something like “but what about violence ?”
    Jayda “We don’t do violence, you can’t run a political party with violence, we only do direct action”
    Next thing you hear is BBC saying “despite her saying that she has a conviction for harassment for shouting at a woman outside a mosque”
    Well I dunno .. I do know that they didn’t give her right of reply to that.
    (BCCTr full blogpost they only put up today
    ==============

    The previous prog was about India and people demonstaring to stop violence against Muslims
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p056p7wc
    (The prog strangely didn;t bother to blog about the issue)

    The one before that was mainly about Muslim masturbation abstinence internet groups
    ..though also spread onto similar for Christians blogpost
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05618p1
    ===

    Their posts about the Trump CNN video
    were titled – “Trump gif maker apologises for racist posts”
    and – ‘CNN wrestling’ tweet came from extreme Reddit user”

      You account of the interview is complete fiction.

      Jayda did not at any point say; “we are not an anti-immigrant party”

      Jayda did say; “we would halt all immigration absolutely

      You are a liar, Stew.

        You are doing the normal thing of misrepresentation.
        She did say they were about stopping unrestricted immigration due to resources, but made it clear she was not anti-immigrant.
        As I said above “LibMob so seem to very easily mix up anti-free-immigration and anti-free-immigrant.”
        They are not the same thing.

    Anti-Brexit project fear is in full swing on BBC London News again this morning.

    The BBC give a platform to North American-accented bankster boss of JP Morgan who says his staff ‘might’ all be relocated from London.

    Now this rankles because the BBC were far from shy about taxing the banker bonuses and regulating their business more harshly – and when the banks threatened to leave London the BBC joined with the left to say let them go if they want.

    Hey, please Miss… I have a question…!

    BBC Breakfast reporters adopt an air of being frustrated yet chummy supply teachers – perhaps they missed their vocation?

    Franckie McCamley brings us a host of carefully selected numbers on the Grenfell Tower fire this morning. I say carefully selected because although she implicitly chides the authorities by telling us the death toll is around 80 and there were 255 survivors she neglects to repeat the figure of about 10 residents who are believed to have – for whatever reason – not come forward. This figure was previously presented in the print press alongside McCamley’s other figures. Why neglect to mention that missing 10 ? They might help speed the identifications and ease the pain and frustration of the survivors – assuming that’s your main concern and not BBC reluctance to highlight the extent of illegal immigration and illegal sub-letting of public housing.

    Hannity described the mainstream media as ‘overpaid and lazy.’ He is spot on.

    Five Live news bulletin at 5am is about ten minutes of banging on about Trump’s son, the scoop of the century that he spoke to someone Russian for 20 minutes. I bet she was a Democrat stooge. Senior politicians say it is ‘distressing’ etc. Of course senior Democrats are going to say this is a big deal. It’s like saying ‘Arsenal fans say Tottenham are rubbish.’ Of course they do! We should expect news bulletins to tell us of all the salient events that have taken place which might affect their customers, not have them seethe their furious agenda.

    This is not even ‘journalism.’ There is not even any semblance of balance. Just like going on about someone saying the ‘n’ word is not journalism. Journalists should inform and investigate, not lecture as about their pet agendas and tell us what to think. What about all these ‘marches’ they go on? I wouldn’t pay a journalist if he just went on marches with people. That is not in the job description, though it must beat working for a living.

    When I worked as a French teacher, I could not stand in front of the class and get them all to hold hands and say how bad Darth Vader is. I would get the sack and rightly so as it is part of my contract to teach French. The BBC’s charter/contract says they must be unbiased. They could at least try to disguise it – we all have biases – but to be so flagrantly and shamelessly one-sided shows utter contempt for their audience.

      You would not think RBKC had just spent £9 million refurbishing Grenfell Tower. It’s hardly as if they wanted the tenants to live in a 1974 tower block that had never been updated, nor did they want the block to burn down. They spent the money to give the tenants decent modernised homes.

      Saudi police ‘stopped’ fire rescue (stopped 15 schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress) {bbc.co.uk mar 2002}

      I’d say the UK Government response to Grenfell Tragedy has been a lot fairer than some other Countries to fires in the past …

      Saudi Arabia’s religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
      In a rare criticism of the kingdom’s powerful “mutaween” police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday .
      About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.

      The religious police are widely feared in Saudi Arabia. They roam the streets enforcing dress codes and sex segregation, and ensuring prayers are performed on time.

      Those who refuse to obey their orders are often beaten and sometimes put in jail.”

      Notice that even in 2002 the BBC can’t say ‘Religious Police in the title’, which leads you to believe it was the normal, everyday Police. Nothing to do with a certain religion – humble beginnings in misleading news..

      Is this a snapshot of a future, where enforcing dress codes or practices stops the mind and normal morals from working. But this was only 15 years ago!

I’ve been caught in a store closing and told to remain there on any number of occasions until that particular prayer time has ended. They pray five times a day.
