    A useful feature of the ‘a href’ tag is that the bit between the quotes “” (the link) doesn’t need to (and arguably shouldn’t) be the same as the text between the opening and closing tags.

    The parsing of the URL (the link) is for the webserver; the text is for us poor mortals that would like some human-friendly context – please!

    In the Express today the eu is making threatening noises to Poland.

    Here’s a question for you.

    If Poland had to leave would they also be landed with a £100 billion bill to pay for the privilege of leaving.
    If no, why not.
    If yes, does that also mean if a Country like Malta were to leave would they also be hit with a £100 billion exit fee.

    If all but one Country were to leave the eu would the last Country left in get the £2700 billion collected from the other leavers.

    Or is it only us who must pay an exit fee even though we’ve already paid in a couple of hundred billion not to mention handing over our fish stocks.

    Rule No.1. Have nothing whatever to do with muslims! They are like shit*hawks: patiently waiting for any sign or symptom of disagreement with islam no matter how small or insignificant to claim the alleged perpetrator is a ‘racist’ and ‘islamaphobe’. Trouble is, if it officially gets as far as Victoria Wasterney’s issue did, you no longer will be assured of an objective, legal conclusion being reached. That goes for the Thought Police as well.

        This is very interesting, why? Because if the shoe was on the other foot nothing would have been said. Remember this is the very same NHS which dictated to non-Islamic staff a few years back not to eat in front of Muslins during Ramadan because they are fasting. The same NHS which hasn’t pushed for one prosecution regards FGM, the same NHS which spent millions trying to find a non alcoholic hand sanitiser as some Muslims found it offensive (Muslims are only told not to drink the fucking stuff, the irony here is, Alcohol is an Islamic word)

          I am totally unsurprised that this has happened.

          The cabinet (to a man and woman) is composed of people who are all very bright, all very well educated and probably have never had to get their hands dirty in any way to make money. They see coastal towns and villages as either run down places beyond help or picture box places where they can have cream teas and dine at posh eateries, or buy second homes for their summer holidays to relax after all those tough arguments over tea and biscuits over brexit.

          With Remain tossers like Hammond in the ascendancy the lives and livelihoods of people in fishing ports is obviously far less important than those who work in the city and therefore it is seen as acceptable to barter away our fishing rights so the rich can continue to make disgusting amounts of money purely by the ability to press buttons at the same time and knowing the right people. We would not want to upset the metropolitan elite – would we?

          It is obvious there was never any intention to re-build our fishing industry. As as far as I know there is little in the way of new fishery protection vessels ordered. Though there seems to be plenty of money to give legal aid to asylum seekers fighting deportation, aircraft carriers with no aircraft or foreign aid money for useless vanity projects that make us feel good.

          Apparently one of the reasons Gove gave for still allowing EU vessels into our waters was because “Britain has no fish cutters [those employed to clean, trim and bone fish] and production facilities enough to catch all the fish in British waters. [sic]” Obviously no money left for investing in real industries!

          It is interesting that probably one of the most significant incidents in winning the referendum was when that arrogant, sneering millionaire Geldof was making the the “wanker” sign to the fishermen.

          Well it looks like the government is doing the same thing. Lets just hope that the electorate doesn’t forget this incident also.

      US immigration proposals: What’s in the Raise Act? {bbc.co.uk aug2017}
      US President Donald Trump has backed proposals for changes to the country’s immigration law.
      The changes in the Raise Act (the initials stand for Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment) would attempt to reduce the number of legal immigrants by 50% over the next 10 years.
      The proposals are a long way off being made law. They are likely to face resistance in Congress from Democrats and some Republicans.
      Mr Trump said the system would prioritise English speakers, and those who can support themselves and their families financially and demonstrate skills that contribute to the US economy.

      Being Bisexual {bbc.co.uk Radio WorldService}
      More and more people are identifying as bisexual (got any proof?) yet bi-phobia is rife and the world’s media remains guilty of regular bi-erasure (or other important things are happening in the world? terrorism, religious conflict, poverty, mass migrations, North Korea, EU). Journalist and writer Nichi Hodgson who is openly bisexual herself, examines what it is like to be bisexual for both men and women in different parts of the world.

      In the 1950s, the Kinsey scale suggested sexuality for many people was not necessarily 100% heterosexual or homosexual, yet understanding of bisexuality among the media and the wider public is still largely unchanged.
      As we hear bisexuality can mean different things. There are people who identify more straight or gay but still feel bisexual. Others who feel completely 50:50 and others for whom sexuality is fluid and has shifted hugely over time.”

      – does not mention any future impact on society as a whole in the introduction text
      – will it talk about destroying/uprooting the traditional home and it’s impact on future society?

        I just caught the end of an item where two men were claiming to be the parents of a baby and that one of these men was the first man to get pregnant, carry for 9 months and give birth.

        Amazing.

        However, one of these men was actually born a woman but decided to change sex.

        I think I missed out a few years ago.
        I could have decided to be a woman at 60 years old and then I would get the pension five years earlier.
        I also would live about 5 or 6 years more as a woman.

        It’s my human right after all.

            G,
            I don’t know whether my view is a result of age or something else but I think the 20-35 year olds who run al Beeb are different from previous brits because of a general easier life – easier travel – easier communications – everything on a plate. Their biggest hardship s are housing costs and pay – caused by a combination of immigration and some cutbacks in pay and conditions.

            Inevitable they are going to be multicultural and left minded because of what I listed as well as constant propaganda from schools and main stream. I believe it will change for the better – probably when this country faces serious hardship again.

            If you read this and feel your life is a hardship – I am not talking about individual positions but the country as a whole.

    After more than a year, still no pro-Brexit programme by the BBC.

    “”Last year, the BBC’s Director-General Lord Hall agreed to review the BBC’s complaints procedures after a cross-party group of parliamentarians challenged him to name a single programme which has been enthusiastic about Brexit since the EU referendum on June 23 — and Hall was unable to do so.

    The parliamentarians included UKIP peer Lord Pearson, Labour’s Kate Hoey and Tory Philip Hollobone.

    Lord Pearson hailed Lord Hall’s decision as a significant blow against ‘those at the top of the BBC who wish to see the referendum result reversed’.””

    The bBC reports (about 4 weeks later than everybody else) what freebes MPs receive:
    MPs declare Wimbledon and Glastonbury tickets
    MPs have enjoyed free activities from Wimbledon to Glastonbury, according to their latest register of interests.
    Commons Speaker John Bercow, a tennis fan, received two tickets for the Royal Box at Wimbledon, worth £8,590.
    Labour deputy leader Tom Watson also got two cheaper Wimbledon tickets while Tories Damian Collins and Nigel Adams declared Glastonbury tickets. Meanwhile Theresa May registered a discount card from shoe shop Russell & Bromley. The prime minister, whose love of shoes is well documented, has worn the retailer’s shoes to Conservative Party conferences and registered a discount card valid from January 2017 to January 2018 – without details of what it entitled her to.

    Funny enough whilst the bBC waxes lyrical about the discount card the PM has at R&B. It completely leaves out the Labour Leader:

    Corbyn, Jeremy (Islington North)

    Another BBC channel full of subversion is BBC 3. Here are some of the editors picks for today:

    Supporting the burqa: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/3e533c4f-7f35-49a0-a9a0-6e5c92ecfe1d
    Supporting British Pakistanis: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/6af25e7b-0545-42ba-a6fa-82ac1023b4ed
    Supporting men with small penises: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/e496fdb3-70d7-4536-ab04-cccf35a0a67b [even this story has an anti-trump image – so pervasive is the Trump hatred at the BBC]
    Supporting vaginas: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/fc3d3f13-60c8-424a-98a1-85fd2393b3c4

    The BBC are a nest-bed of subversion and perversion.

    This is what the BBC do:
    a) They tell the white traditional English / British people to feel shame for British “colonial” history, shame for racism, shame for islamophobia, shame for heterosexual normalcy etc.

    b) They tell non-white minorities, blacks, Muslims etc to feel rage at the white English people for “British colonial history”, to feel rage for “English – British cultural racism”, to feel rage for “English – British cultural islamophobia” …

    Conclusion: The BBC is a source of radicalisation against the indigenous English people and against traditional English – British culture.

    And all this paid for by the British taxpayer.

    Sorry media scum.
    Like Leveson and Abu Gharib…all silly season rectal examinations of each others stools and gases. WGAF what CNN are saying to the BBC and what the HuffPo are reporting from the Guardian.
    Look- we`re leaving the EU, and if it`s not brutal and offensive to the political elite , then it will need redoing…and it won`t be a Mr Nice like Farage that will force it.
    Beauty of all this arse exploration on gay bandwagons under an IS flag is that we can read our Orwells and our Murrays, thereby ignoring all that the BBC choose to tell me about Phil Hammond or Mark Carney, Vince Cable or Lily Allen. We`re WAY beyond this now.
    All good sappers seek the structural flows and faultlines…and schools, hospitals, prisons and the like are now ungovernable and irredeemable.
    We need a REAL Nasty Party, one that puts the likes of Tommy and Katie well ahead of a flip flop like Gove or other poseurs going weak at the whiff of poncey grapeshot from Brussels or Silicon Valley.

    I see there are reports that Bruce Forsyth may not perform again due to his current frailty. I’ve never been a big fan, but he’s had his moments. I was interested to read though, that before he was awarded his knighthood, he was ‘in trauma’ that he had been overlooked for a ‘K’. Whether true or not, who knows, but this award seems to be the be all and end all for those doing a job that they’re amply rewarded for. Beckham has done all but pay for one, and thankfully is unlikely to get one after his outburst. How long before Lineker is awarded one for his services to crisps !

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-40820837

    How does the BBC get away with misleading headlines such as the above suggesting that Marcus Hutchins is a “NHS cyber-defender”? The first line of the article exposes the flaw in the headline; Hutchins is not an employee of the NHS!

    If he were, then the NHS might not have been hit in the first place!

    BBC News telling us this morning about the second fire in two years at the Dubai Torch Tower (Nominative determinism? Anyway, this time they might consider re-naming the building). Our BBC newsmongers in passing add the detail that the previous blaze was blamed on the flammable tendencies of the insulating cladding. No blame attributed as yet to any scrimping, cost-cutting or Tory cutbacks in the petrodollar sheikdom.

    Sicilia Season

    We know it as Sicily, surely? Well, watch this BBC space… although our BBC reporters are still calling it Sicily this morning the spelling on their weather map (sorry temperature map – cos only temperatures – and then only maximum daily temperatures matter, right?) – well that map hints that the traditional and perfectly servicable English name for the island might soon go the way of Bombay.

    Anyway, much as I suggested hereabouts yesterday, when the BBC is faced with local UK weather news that just doesn’t fit the global warming narrative (our forecaster this morning rather tellingly referred to UK temperatures as “nothing to write home about”) the BBC will naturally look elsewhere for a story to fit their agenda. And so the Beeboids happily bang in their travel expenses claims for various Med locations. And when our chap in Sicily feels constrained to utter the dread words “this is not just a silly season hot weather story…”, well the cynic in me thinks otherwise.

    I see the bBC continues its green inspired fight against the humble washing machine which apparently is the source of so much CO2. (from 2013 by Environment expert Roger Harrabin
    Should we be owning our washing machines?
    Well today, it’s a story about replacing the huge blocks of concrete found within your washing machine with a tub of water (Can anybody else see how this may actually cost you more in the long run)
    Device could make washing machines lighter and greener
    A simple device to cut the weight of washing machines could save fuel, cut carbon emissions, and reduce back injuries, according to researchers. A typical budget washing machine is weighted by 25kg of concrete to stop it moving while on a spin cycle. The alternative is a plastic container that is filled with water – but only once the machine is in place. The team at Nottingham Trent University says the change makes machines easier – and cheaper – to transport.
    Ah , its all about reducing transport costs and cutting CO2 than anything else. Tell you what Rodger, you buy one and let us know how it goes, in the meantime me and the Mrs will continue with buying Meile. (They don’t use Concrete either, rather they use cast iron, which when it gets wet doesn’t crumble, lose its centre of gravity and shake the house down.

    I’m on holiday this week with the family and the place we are staying has a Now TV internet box. I’ve never used one before but opening the iPlayer app it shows you some 4 or 5 watching suggestions for each of the BBC channels which currently are:

    BBC1:
    Man In An Orange Shirt (a gay drama)

    BBC2:
    Is it safe to be Gay in the UK?

    BBC 3:
    Olly Alexander: Growing up Gay

    BBC Four:
    Queers

    Radio 1:
    We are Gay and love football too.

    Parliament:
    50th anniversary of the Sexual offences act.

    May I be the first to congratulate the BBC on providing a well rounded selection of subjects for the viewers to watch.

    As a result of the disquiet felt by some ‘liberals’ following the release of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk the BBC is rumoured to be producing a new version.

    It is to be called Dunkerque.

    The call goes out. An army is trapped on the coast of France, its enemies are closing in, if captured the best they can hope for is to be interned in concentration camps. A flotilla of ‘little ships’ sets out from southern England to rescue them.

    The enemy is the French gendarmarie. The army is a diverse collection of children, women and sexually confused from Ethiopia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and China seeking a life on benefits, housed in luxury homes in Kensington.

    The ‘little ships’ are booze cruise boats charterd by Sir Bob Geldolf, Lily Allen and Maxine Peake. As each boat lands its human cargo on English shores enthusiastic crowds (played by BAME) actors wave ‘Refugees Welcome Here’ placards and thrust bowls of rice into their hands before whisking them off in stretch limousines to their new lives in up-market London.

    Geldolf is to be played by Lenny Henry, Allen by Pearl Mackie and Peake by herself, leading to some talk that the film will be ‘too white’.
