    If you are looking for overtly extreme left wing news look no further than Channel 4

    Moaning about president Trump not talking about right wing groups in the right language

    Moaning about illegal migrants drowning in the med

    Moaning about people overdosing from illegal drugs they choose to take

    Moaning about a bunch of illegal freeloaders not getting a free house after a fire

    Switched off then as some scatty lefty woman came on to talk more anti Tory anti brexit waffle .

    They’ll want the stars and bars banned next .

    I wonder if the lefties have thought through their demands that Trump name a ‘far right’ organisation to blame for the car death.

    If they get their way, the logical outcome would be that the precedent had been set and any future atrocities and similar events would also have an organisation named and blamed.

    As the vast majority, in fact, almost all atrocities, are carried out by those on the left and their enriching pets can we expect every organisation to be named in future.
    Will May name ‘hate not soap’, antifa, sjw and other unwashed gangs when they cause mayhem.
    Will the police name the enrichers who are busy enriching schoolgirls. (And I don’t mean names like ‘Asians’ or ‘men’ as they are almost meaningless)

    Those on the right have a decent record for behaving in their marches, it’s the lefties who start the violence.
    Pegida (where are they now?) held peaceful meetings but were often attacked by those lovely lefties in their face coverings (just like the kkk and Isis) hiding their identity yet it’s the right who are penalised and not them lefties.
    Try adopting in Rotherham if you are a ukip voter for example.

    Of course, none of this will happen because the left will never accept they are wrong about anything (although they ARE wrong about almost everything) so the naming and shaming will only apply to those on the right as happens now.

      Yes Emmanuel ,
      You can see the way right wingers are treated when they try to protest in public . Totally controlled and intimidated by the lefty controlled police for purpose of ‘ public safety’ which is definitely Orwellian .

      Good luck to the southern Americans and their attempt to retain their past. Slavery is an easy thing to beat the right with but was always more complicated than al beeb would want it to be.

      And Blighty has more than enough to deal with than disputes in foreign countries which are not ours .,

    I see the bBC thought police are continuing to regurgitate this sexist crap from the otherday:
    Clarks in sexism row over Dolly Babe girls’ shoe
    Clarks has been accused of “everyday sexism” for a calling a girls’ school shoe “Dolly Babe”, while the boys’ equivalent is called “Leader”. The girls’ shoes carry a heart-patterned insole, while the boys’ insoles are decorated with footballs. (Actually the insole is just blue with the Clark motif) The sides of the shoe has a football and the sole has a picture of a goal keeper saving a ball. Which means nobody bothered to check (More on this below)

    It appears that in their quest to turn everybody into bisexual whatevertheyare, the left (Including the bBC) object to parents buying shoes with hearts on them for their little girls and shoes with footballs for their little boys. The thing is social experiment after social experiment found that boys prefer ruff and tumble to sitting down at a table and playing with a tea set.

    Now Jimmy Crankie
    Nicola-_Jim-463550.jpg
    Has come out and the bBC feels it has to report this faux outrage against sexism.

    Oh and BTW bBC, the leader isn’t the equivalent for the Dolly babe it’s the equivalent of Lilfolk Bel Infant
    and the reason its called leader, well here’s the shoes description from the clarks website:
    “Leader Game Inf, boys’ school shoes, black leather – With football detailing on the durable rubber sole and a football badge on the side, this new style from our Attackers range will be the one everyone wants. Lightweight thanks to the EVA midsole, these school shoes feature a bungee lace and riptape fastening for a secure fit and our unique Air Spring FX technology and agion linings for breathable comfort. Plus it comes with a free toy. Available in whole and half sizes and different widths. Toy contains small parts, see here for details.”

    The irony here is that these wankers are so angry over different styles of clothing for males and females. Well here’s something if you so fucking object, why don’t you buy the opposite genders clothing for your gender free children, even better, take your business elsewhere, or better still cover them in a Burka. Hang on Bukas are gender specific , and males can wear what they want. Where’s the outrage.
    (A few years ago in the ME, I got talking to this Muslim. I asked him why women covered up. He explained that it was their religious devotion to god that made them do so., I allowed the chat to go on and then asked who are more religiously devout men or women. He replied ‘Men’ So I then asked him why he was wearing jeans and T-shirt and not religious attire. He walked away.)

      Strange really that the vast majority of animals – mammals – have male and female . They behave in particular ways toward each other.

      Humanity , however, has decided to go against the natural order and a few engage with their own gender and others don’t know what they are.

      I’m glad to be so old fashioned but not surprised by how the number of apparently screwed up people there are these days is increasing .

        You wouldn’t think it strange if you saw the enormous pressure being brought by the Left on children to ‘question their sexual identity’ as early as 4 years old. The idea that if a 4-year-old boy likes playing with trucks or wants to rush around playing football, he must have been “repressed” by his parents into accepting a “normative” view of humanity.

        The Leftists pounce with glee on any child who seems less than 100% committed to their biological gender and train them to be, well, nothing, in gender terms.

        Like all other Leftist policies, this widespread child abuse is aimed at nothing less than the undermining of Western society and its replacement by the hellhole of a Leftist utopia.

        Did you have a compass in yours?

        I was brought up on clarks and remained with until a few years ago. As I got older I gravitated to wearing desert wellies (Kind of helped being in the army) then Clarks moved production to Portugal and the price went up to around £60 , a few years alter they moved again to Vietnam and now your looking at around £100 for shoddy made boots. I looked around and found Loakes not only make Deserts , but they are made in the Uk and around the same price. No brainer.

    Dear God this site is a mess for positing on!

    I have to type all of this again because it got wiped.

    I have been appalled at the biased way the BBC has reported the goings on in America, especially quoting the Southern Poverty Law centre as an authoritative source despite the fact it is completely discredited.

    Reporting nothing about the fact that the Fascist Left attended the demonstration with the sole intention of visiting violence on the opposing side.
    Nothing about the offensive weapons they brought with them as well, as opposed to the defensive ones of the right – shields, helmets, and PPE.
    Nothing about the fact that although there were some real white supremacists there the majority were not.

    Where is the usual false argument the Fascists love to extend to their Muslim Ubermensch – “They’re not all like that”?

    Or perhaps the reporting that whereas in Britain everyone not on the centre Left or further to the Left is described as ‘Far Right’, in America everyone not agreeing wholeheartedly with the Fascists is described as a ‘White Supremacist’ Even Black people who disagree with the Fascists are described as being white supremacists

    No reporting what so ever on the injuries sustained by the protestors on the Right, one of whom may have been permanently blinded and others with serious injury because the BBC doesn’t want you to know the violence wasn’t all from one side.

    The BBC has reported Charlotteville just as it has reported so-called far right demonstrations in the UK. It is the determination of the left wing anti-fascist groups to disrupt marches by the EDL and others that has caused the violence. The BBC always ignores this. The BBC is determined to prove that so-called Far Right groups are as big a threat as Muslim terrorists and the street gangs of the left. However it’s simply not true.

      Of course, Beeboids are too stupid to know about time differences. So it may be morning in one country, but the travellers’ body clock is saying evening. And he or she may be going to sleep all day. Beeboids would like to ban many things , but there would always be an exemption to any ban. Namely themselves. They are vermin.

      This morning led with this rubbish over booze at airports.
      We lost our luggage at Terminal 5 way back, so were pretty merry afterwards.
      Frankly, given the way we`re treated at boarding and border points-surprised far more people don`t get drunk and abusive.
      They`ll end up paying for our delays if they can`t ply us with a cheap sherry or three.

      Oh-and what about their drunk pilots? The BBC worried about THAT?

      What with all those prisoners with IPP sentences that John Humphrys was fussing over, I had no tissues left for the drunks.

    Like looking through the world using St George glasses.

        Of course I am a right wing bigot in their eyes because I don’t accept what I am supposed to.
        Global Warming (Climate change) is a perfect example. It must be true because that’s what they say on the tv. If only they would look beyond what is reported, they would find it is not quite above board and a lot of porky’s are told.

    Apologies for going off piste, and its not the Beeb, BUT…

    I am mega narked ! Two different occasions now I’ve settled down to watch a subtitled drama (well publicised in press and tv mags), and become engrossed in the story-line; on Channel 4 last night. THEN at the end I’m informed that if I want to watch the rest of the episodes I need to tune in to some sodding online streaming and unheard of channel. Being a lady I’ll just use initials, but FFS, why ????? As a digital dinosaur I don’t “stream” anything, so why con me into watching something that cannot be followed up on the normal terrestrial channels ? The tv mags never indicated it couldn’t be watched on a weekly basis on the presenting channel, so I’m thoroughly pissed off that I’ve wasted an hour of my time.
    Rant over.

      I feel your pain Brissles, and you’re absolutely right of course that they should be making it clear in advance that only the first episode will be shown on TV. I’m guessing you’re talking about Valkyrien. Just in case you don’t know, you can watch it online at http://www.channel4.com/collection/walter-presents, along with lots of other foreign dramas subtitled in English. It’s paid for by advertising and is thus subscription-free. In an age when very little on TV is worth watching, and much of it is simply unwatchable, it’s worth giving this service a go even if you’re not normally into streaming. (I personally watch these programmes on my TV via an Amazon firestick which just plugs into the HD port of the TV set.) As far as I know, Walter Presents is an independent organisation which buys up overseas TV shows and has a deal with Channel 4 to show them on their All4 online service.

    Why not set up an interview with Jason Kessler who organized it? Or maybe do one with Richard Spencer, Mike Enoch or Michael Hill who were meant to speak but were illegally prevented from doing so?

    This is a good article by Jared Taylor at Vdare about what happened, it also includes a photo of the aerosol flamethrower one of the BLM / Antifa was using (unmolested by the police) against the UTR marchers.

      Couldn’t agree more. He seemed almost deranged in his determination that whatever Trump did was beleaguered, tense, not enough or whatever. Trump must know that he cannot win with these people and that they need to be destroyed before they destroy him.

      I don’t know the full story of whatever went on in the USA. But I know from this country what happens when the “anti-fascists” pitch up. Violence. Every time, with the authorities happy to let it happen and lay the blame at the feet of the supposedly far-right. So I can be pretty certain that the story the BBC and the rest of the MSM is feeding us is far from the reality.

      What I find intensely frustrating is that all this is obvious once your eyes have been opened but it’s very difficult to persuade others without appearing somewhat paranoid or a conspiracy theorist. How much more frustrating then to be a protestor watching the authorities egging on the ones who came with the intention of violence?

    BBC London News brought to us by Claudia Elisa Armagh (or something like that – her rapid fire delivery leaves us unsure – there was a time when BBC newsreaders tackled on our behalf those tricky exotic pronunciations – now they appeared to be hired specifically because they personally present the audience with the tongue twisters)

    Good news on the regular item “Today’s Murder”

    Last night’s shooting at Wood Green brought to us by our rapid fire Claudia should just go down as an attempted murder since the victim has survived.

    Also included in the short local news slot is a campaign piece which seems to argue females ought not to be sent to jail. Parent’s apparently wanted their daughter released for not much other reason than she was female?

    We return to the national studio for a report celebrating the Scottish Government dishing out £160 worth of freebies to new mothers. Despite an isolated single line that this ‘may not be the best use of public funds’ the opinions presented and tone of the report praise this initiative meanwhile it completely ignores 50% of parenting (fathers) who remain invisible and takes us another step down the road to the State assuming de facto parental responsibility.

    Another day in the demise of our society and culture care of the BBC

Fortunately he simply doesn’t care about leftism, and both of them refused to do the homework on Islam in Religious Studies, and when the Maths class and English class had discussions on Scottish Independence, they were well aware of the SNP bias.

    I see the bBC has found its latest cause:
    ‘Segregation’ in students’ university choices
    “There are warnings of a lack of “ethnic mixing” in the UK’s universities, in a study from the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath. Ethnic minority students are more likely to be concentrated in new universities in London and big cities. But white students are more likely to attend predominantly white institutions, says the study. The report warns of “segregation” as a result of students’ choices of university. There are also ethnic divisions within subjects, with only 25 black Caribbean students entering medicine or dentistry courses in 2014-15….”If we are to create a more tolerant UK society, where people are aware and respectful of cultural and ethnic difference, it is vital that greater mixing happens,” said leader of the research project, Dr Michael Donnelly”.
    Ah, its that we need to do more moment again:
    The thing is the good doctor (and the bbC) can’t seem to be able to put 1=1 together. I quote:
    “Almost two-thirds of students in the UK from Bangladeshi families go to a relatively small number of “super-diverse” London universities”
    54% of the British Bangladeshi population lives in London, like all good Islamic families they don’t like their children going into digs as heavens forbid they may leave the faith and as for an Islamic girl not living at home until she is wed, yeah right. Finally it also means they don’t do into that much debt. Naturally, the bBC has an answer for this:
    “Researchers found some students from multicultural parts of London were worried they could face racism if they chose universities in less diverse parts of the country.”
    Utter tosh, Muslims congregate in Islamic ghettos, be it East London, Birmingham,Bradford or even Saville Town , why is their free choice of where to go to Uni (Usually close to home) the non-Islamic populations fault. Lazy reporting which is shown in their next:
    “Subjects were “even more segregated than universities” said researchers and some have “huge problems with ethnic diversity”.
    For medicine and dentistry courses, the study found only 0.3% of the intake were from black Caribbean families – representing 25 students…… This was the lowest proportion of any ethnic minority group – compared with almost 3% who were black African, 11% Indian and 5% Pakistani and 2% Chinese.

    So one segment of the rainbow of Ethnic minorities in the UK doesn’t want to go into health care and its a racist issue.

    Did the disappointing turndown in Eurozone industrial output register on the BBC yesterday or was it pushed off the agenda by anti-Brexit or anti-Trump stories?:

    Industrial output in the eurozone fell in June in an uncomfortable drop that suggests the economic boom may not be as strong as analysts hoped.

    Germany’s monthly output fell by 1.1pc while Ireland’s crashed by 7.5pc in the choppy short-term index. French industrial output dropped 1.2pc.

    Among the larger economies growth was recorded in Italy, at 1.1pc, and the Netherlands, at 1.2pc.

    Output fell by 0.6pc in June compared with May, led by a 1.9pc tumble in the production of capital goods and a 1.7pc fall in consumer durables.

      No Eurozone country apart from Germany will ever prosper.

      Germany is a major manufacturing country, with a large balance of payments surplus, so its currency should be strong, but because it is the Euro, it is weak. The currencies of other Eurozone countries should be weaker than the Germans, but because of the Euro, they are exactly the same. The result is that they can never really recover.

      Germany is bleeding Europe white, yet the other Eurozone members are too pathetic to do anything about it. Yet somehow Britain is the villain for choosing to leave this insane labyrinth of lies and corruption?

      A united Germany at the heart of Europe has always led to disaster. It did in 1914 and 1939, and I think German re-unification in 1989 (which led to the Euro) will come to be seen as the start of the third great German catastrophe for the rest of Europe.

    So the fat bully in North Korea has blinked first in his high stakes game of Poker with President Trump, yet to the bBC, this is because he is being magnanimous towards the belligerent US:
    N Korea leader ‘briefed’ on Guam plan but opts to wait
    North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reviewed plans to fire missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam but will hold off, state media said. Although prepared for “the enveloping fire at Guam”, the North said it would watch what “the foolish Yankees” do before taking a decision. Last week’s threat against Guam escalated the sharp rhetoric being exchanged between the two sides. This latest report points to a pause in the increasingly bitter war of words. South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in meanwhile has urged the US not to launch an attack on the Korean peninsula without its consent, saying “no one may decide to take military action without the consent” of the South.

        You are right, JFK said that a missile attack from Cuba on any country in the Western Hemisphere would be treated as an attack by Russia on the USA, and dealt with accordingly.

        At the time, the USA had a massive nuclear advantage against the USSR, and if the USSR had been daft enough to have tried it on, the USA would have wiped them out.

        After Cuba, the USSR embarked on the huge nuclear weapons build up which eventually bankrupted them and led to the collapse of soviet communism.

      After Obama’s equivocations, Trump left Kim in no doubt whatsoever what would happen to North Korea and him personally if he ever attacked the USA or its allies: one minute after he launches a nuclear weapon, North Korea and Kim himself will cease to exist.

      He had to be told. He was like a stupid child pulling a dog’s tail and getting away with it: the more he gets away with it, the more he does it. Trump just let him know that if he tries it again, he will get his head bitten off. I think this evil, murdering dictator has got the sense to know that he has got a good thing going, lording it over the poor people of North Korea. If he wants it all to end, all he has got to do it attack the USA, and President Trump will make it happen. You have to let people like Kim know exactly where they stand.

      This harping on by the left about the UK being the Crucible of all historical hatred doesn’t mirror what many EU reports have found out:
      The European Union themselves conducted a similar study, which was published in 2015. In their research, they asked the 28 EU member nations a series of questions based on their personal beliefs and how comfortable they would be with certain minorities in a variety of situations. Overall nations like the UK, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden proved to be the most tolerant countries. Those with consistently racial views across the board included the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Lithuania.

      The massive efforts of our media arts and education sectors on behalf of so-called anti-racism is perfectly explainable when you consider the unprecedented hyper-immigration to which our country is recently being subjected. How else would there not be all out race war – even in Britain which honestly is THE most tolerant of societies? How else but by anathematizing the smallest glimmer of objection could an existing ancient people and culture be peacefully superceded? Only with their intensive clamp down on attitudes could authorities police such a transition.

        In any case, as Grant points out elsewhere, it is absurdly partial. The BBC has a pathological obsession with Africa and yet largely ignores South America, which might as well not exist at all for all the interest shown in it. Nor, indeed, other parts of the world.

      The aim being to dilute “whiteness “. The reverse is true in Africa. Most black African girls want a white husband for the following reasons :-

      1. White men generally treat women better than black African men. And don’t cheat as much.

      2. They have more money and are more generous with it.

      3. African girls want children with lighter coloured skin. It is a sign of prestige. There is a lot of animosity between blacks of different shades of black. For example, the Fula tribe in West Africa tend to have lighter skin colour than the others. So they feel superior and many of the others are jealous .

      I would have thought it would make an interesting documentary for the BBC. They would probably conclude that it is all the fault of the white man !

      Reckon we`ll be needing a Coulter Academy here to get OUR pals primed and feisty-so far, they`re nearly all too courteous and soft over here.
      We`re media experts and giants here-happy to garner a few experts in areas that i`m not too bothered with like climate change crap!
      What`s been the best angry Brexiteer performance in the UK since June 24th 2016 on our telly or on paper?

      Judging by that Leftist BBC journalist they are not simply ignoring it, they are unashamedly promoting it.

    The bBC and finding racism in the Blood service:
    Apology over Indian blood donation ’embarrassment’
    The Blood Transfusion Service has said lessons have been learnt after 120 members of the Indian community were turned away from giving blood. The blood drive was organised specifically for the Indian community last year, but confusion over criteria meant many were unable to donate. Community leaders said they were left feeling “hugely embarrassed”. The Northern Ireland Blood transfusion Service (NIBTS) said there had been a “breakdown in communications”.
    “One of my friends went in to donate blood, he was very enthusiastic, he was first. “They asked had he taken a malaria test since he was from India, a malaria-risk country.” Dr Vijayam said it was then that they realised that there was a problem…
    Mr Varma said it was “really shocking and embarrassing” when they were told they could not donate. “Initially it was annoying, why did they not communicate with us what was needed?” he said. “I had to call all my friends that hadn’t arrived and tell them not to come. “They didn’t check our passport to see if we were an Indian citizen or a British citizen. They just looked at our face. “They never checked if you had travelled to India, it was just a blanket ‘no’.”

    I give blood, I am also brown skinned and I have been turned away a couple of times. I fill out the questioner and then I sit down with a nurse who questions my answers. Yes maleria comes up and as somebody who has travelled the world, I understand why, but they have never asked for proof, just like they have never asked for me to take my pants off and allow them to inspect my arsehole when I say I have never taken it up the arse. And then there’s the blood test. Unfortunately for me, I eat very little meat (No, I am not a vegetarian) Its just as I have got older, I have just gone off meat. What that means is when they test my blood and it fails the copper sulphate test , i get sent home. There is nothing racist, at all, they have their guidelines and they stick to them. playing the race card is just so pathetic.

      Am I missing something ? Can’t the blood test just include malaria ?

        I suppose it could, but by filtering out those that could fail the test, the BS would be saving time,effort and money which they could direct elsewhere.

      I`m setting up a spoof website to “champion” the NEGATIVE sterotyping of those of us with an O-neg blood group. For years now I`ve been caricatured and labelled as “negative” by the blood transfusion service and the NHS…and this has made me sad and a chronically fat and useless underachiever. Thank God at 86 I`ve discovered this, and can now transition to being Jennifer Anistons stepmum…and she`s got no right to say i`m not either. She`d better visit for my sleepover parties too!

      Any OTHER similarly-afflicted Blood Groups who are self-identifying as “negative”?

      You`re not-you`re positive and I`m here to champion you (oo er)-and a nice Class Action on You and Yours, Mail Online . Worried Well Ninnies.com…and a nice little Arthur Daley type of compo-earnie may well be worth a punt.
      Twenty minutes of hurt-and the taxi meter is running,

      Our Rhesus Monkey Policy is yet to be decided however!
      I became aware of this when I had to have a transfusion at Mid Staffs , simply in order to give birth to my twin rhesus monkeys Tazer and Tyson-hate crime!

      Did think of adding my sickle cell charity run awareness raising wobble around the grounds here-but , to be arsed, it`s too much and can`t be arsed-and the state pays in all events anyhoo.

      I`m black you know-today.
      Lovely scrumping, nursey!

      My mother wanted to give blood once, but because she had had yellow jaundice as a child, she was turned down. Is the Blood Transfusion Service guilty of subtle anti-Chinese prejudice, or are these Indians just race hustlers? You decide!

        When Trump uses social media he “stole the election” and has “an obsession with tweeting”

    The joy of this site is that I need not listen to the BBC.
    You reveal ALL their big lies, their games and it`s entirely right to get hacked off with the 24/7 endless diarrhoea from the incontinent, incoherent Lefty nuttaz!
    Relax though if you can.
    It`s all about us staying in the EU and getting Trump impeached. Charlotteville only separated the “true believers” from the “hare and hounds” leisure-wearing tourists. I`m a pilgrim-not a tourist.
    Did anybody think that 45 years of the EU…over 60 years of Kennedy-type cutural wipeout…would be gone in a year, in ten months?
    Course not.
    The Mail and Telegraph, Spectator and the likes of McMaster, Scaramucchi, Gove and Farage can only ever take you to the lowest pit stops-then they will know better and try to run it all for you.
    Steve Bannon is my acid test-as long as he`s in the White House, then Trump has a brain and a heart.
    If only he had the fight or soldiers to come out screaming over Charlotteville as the Left did…and if only we had angry types with The Overview to come out screaming when a Far Islamic Extremist crashes into a French pizzeria and kills a protester..demanding Macron account for this, how come the EU have gone 24 hours with no apology from Juncker?
    This is war-cultural war. Bannon knows this-Trump is in mortal danger of forgetting it.
    Nine blacks killed in Chicago over the last weekend-yet one white lefty causes riots and presidential apologies…those nine are martyrs for the Left, no reproaches or excuses required by their bleeding arse media outlets.
    Deep State and Soros-no idea about the realities, but I do know that Trump cannot be allowed to go floppy on us-being funny or a wind up is OK for him and Nigel, but we need to stop laughing, find the levers and get fighting nasty back.
    Very proud to say that I`m in the business of “dividing and ruling”-Dianne Abbott is worth a quoting!
    The Left want us to “unite and submit”…therefore I want the complete opposite.
    Far-Right is now Far Left! Fascism is AntiFa!…God Bless St Eric Blair of Eton!
    Where`s Mogg?
    Oh…Anne..Marie …Waters…to be sung to the tune of “Seven Nation Army”!

        I therefore am planning a load of labels to censor the “WO” bit from all those magazines that presume to miss out our tranny pals-trans fatties and Pasty Patsies down here in Wess-Inter-sex.
        I demand gender fluidity on all those “Mens and Home”…”Mens Home and Gardens” glossies now…got my pink Sharpie at the ready, this one could run like my free tights I hope to offer free with every purchase of my Transfatties Helpful Healthy Elf magazine.

      An excellent article and one which I urge all on here to read. Mr James puts his finger on exactly why there is so much BS floating around in the media: there simply aren’t enough intelligent well trained sceptical journalists to report anymore. They’ve dwindled as the fall out cloud from the internet has gradually killed them off, like the end of Neville Shute’s post-nuclear novel ‘On the Beach’ where a junior lieutenant is the only man left to command the entire US navy.

      This comment struck me in particular: ‘Alarmists have always profited from their insistence that climate change is such a complex issue that no ‘science denier’ can have an opinion about it worth hearing.’ You need well trained, intelligent, sceptical humanists to objectively analyse what scientists are saying – not the scientific detail, but the WAY they say it and the way their message is put across. If Newton had discovered gravity today, he would probably start up a scare story that it would cause the moon to fall on top of us.

      Journalists, to their shame, attack non-scientists such as Lord Lawson who question scientists’ claims, probably because they themselves have largely lost the ability to objectively analyse a subject. Instead, they have become a form of parish clerk parroting the views of the high priests of science, whom nobody else is ‘qualified’ enough to question.

    BBC Website ” Is Trump too tough on N. Korea ? “. The BBC is so impartial that it is difficult to know which side they are on .

    Strangely, they do not ask the question ” Was Obama too soft on N. Korea ? “. Many of the world’s big problems today were caused by Obama’s weakness. He has left an awful legacy. Thank god he has gone and we have a real man in the White House and not a pussycat.

    While I’m here, some of you might want to have a listen to Amol interviewing Al Gore on Monday night, after 6.30 I think, while Amol is covering for Simon Mayo on Radio 2. I use the term interviewing loosely.
    I only listened to the first half but heard ‘ the sky as a sewer ‘ used a couple of times without definition or qualification and the one contentious point that Amol made, I think querying Gore’s comparison of the climate change cause to the fight against fascism and racism, went unanswered properly by Gore although Amol did his best to help out.
    Never paid much attention to Al Gore before and was unimpressed by his presentation and rhetoric. Amol remains a sycophantic twat.
