    I’ve spent a few days in re-hab trying to wean myself off the BBC but I have relapsed and today I clicked on a few BBC News online videos!

    A nice collection of biased BBC video clips from Charlottesville. Left are described always as “protesters” whilst the far right are “nazis”, “KKK”, “Racists”, “white supremacists” etc.

    Perfect example…
    Charlottesville death: Marianne Rubin, 89, joins protests
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-40930948/charlottesville-death-marianne-rubin-89-joins-protests

    She is claiming she is a holocaust survivor. Then makes a claim that 20 bad people in her town could be the “next one” – does she mean Hitler?!?

    Then a perfect back-of-the-net finish with “it’s so bad…. that they voted for him” – does she mean Trump?

    A perfect BBC biased 49 seconds of linking holocaust->Charlottesville->next Hitler->Trump.

      Yeah – all those masked thugs attacking people were gentle ‘counter protestors’ whilst each and every person on the other side was a Hitler loving member of the KKK who loves genocide.

      If this group was so terrifying, why did so many ‘counter protestors’ flock to their event? I would be scared sh*tless if a group of genuine Nazis were meeting up. I would stay indoors and and hide under the covers.

    Most BBC news reporting is in fact polemic, narrative-driven editorialising

    Words and pictures are lazily arranged in such a way as to further a very small set of predictable pre-devised agendas

    But still, this being the BBC there is sometimes – if you really concentrate and listen carefully – a line of what the BBC calls balance and what a non-liberal-elite-world-view observer might term a glimmer of truth

    And so for instance we are presented with the ‘Sierra Leone floods kill hundreds as mudslides bury houses’ story.

    Watch the BBC News Channel report and you will notice hints toward that bastard child of Global Warming and Climate Change meme Global Weather Weirding. Listen out for phrases such as ‘worst ever’

    Then there is the constant trope of the innocent third world victim.

    But were you listening carefully Licence Payers? There was this one line of easily overlooked caution from our BBC man: “Houses were built illegally on this fragile mountain side”

      As though to reinforce the points I made about the BBC tv news reporting just look at the BBC on line report and their favourite opinion tweet:

      “Increasingly frequent deluges disproportionately affect those living in informal settlement”

      Increasingly frequent? – Scientific evidence, please. Informal settlement? – ie illegal settlement. The BBC attempting to push unsubstanciated climate claims on the public and to bamboozle its readers with weasil words.

                On a different scale it’s the same in this country. Due to the rapidly increasing population new houses are being built on whatever land is left. That is often the flood plains that had been left to drain the excess water from winter weather. Now when heavy rains hit the drains have nowhere to pass the sudden excess water and floods occur. There has always been the occasional flood from odd extreme weather happenings but now it happens far more regularly, both due to the reduction of flood plains and the fact there are a lot more, and larger, towns and villages that cause more rain to be passed immediately from gutters into the drains. It’s another problem of unfettered immigration into this country.

                Obviously if more towns are being built there in Africa, more and more will be being built on unsuitable land. Also if the houses are not being built as solidly due to the need to rapidly accommodate soaring populations then these tragedies will occur on a more regular basis even if the weather patterns remain the same. The trouble is Europe cannot accommodate any more as we are causing our own disasters due to over-population already.

                  You are completely right.

                  Near where I live, the geniuses on the local council have decided that a municipal golf course will be redeveloped for housing.

                  The golf course only dates from the 1970s, before that, the land was fallow, because it was a flood plain. As a golf course, it served the same purpose. As a housing estate, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

                  When the inevitable happens, I expect Roger Harrabin will explain how it is all down to man made global warming.

    Hopefully people here already know that most of the info MSM pushes at us originates from PR Tricksters
    ..and the general public are played, and got into a state by controlling their worldview.
    Yet at 1:15pm on Radio 1 you could hear the 2 DJs realising this.

    If you’ve been in the studio you’ll know that when listeners call or text in you often need to use a fresh sim card , cos their database pushes up on the DJs screen the history of your previous calls to the BBC, that’s how they screen ‘trouble makers'”
    Well today the DJ realises that listeners X,Y and Z have texted in saying how fantastic it was to hear the track from Z

    Except he can see that 2 days ago the same accounts sent the same message and indeed are like bot accounts, cos as soon as a track by Z is played these accounts text Radio 1 saying how fantastic the track is.

    So The accounts seem like bot accounts from the Record company PR dept.

    THE BBC’S ATTACK ON GENDER PUTS CHILDREN AT RISK
    Posted on 14th, August 2017
    http://c4m.org.uk/2017/08/the-bbcs-attack-on-gender-puts-children-at-risk/

    BBC BIAS
    The BBC’s persistent undermining of children’s natural genders is deeply upsetting for parents and children, as is the claim that gender is a question of feelings and not biology. Without an ability to meaningfully distinguish between man and woman, traditional marriage is greatly undermined.

    Under section 6 of its charter, the BBC is required to “provide impartial news and information”. Its editorial guidelines also say:

    “When dealing with ‘controversial subjects’, we must ensure a wide range of significant views and perspectives are given due weight and prominence, particularly when the controversy is active. Opinion should be clearly distinguished from fact.”

    Raising pre-pubescent children to have no gender or to believe that they are members of the opposite sex is clearly controversial but there is no discernible effort to balance any of the Corporation’s output on the subject.

    We believe the BBC’s decision to dispense with editorial impartiality on this issue is a breach of its legal duty. In the coming weeks, the Coalition for Marriage will continue to do all that it can to push the Corporation to demonstrate the balance and neutrality required of it by law.

    It is an ill society which chooses to confuse and worry children in order to appease adults with an extreme agenda. Sadly, our national broadcaster continues to do just this.

    This coming Wednesday, August 16th, BBC2 will screen a documentary titled No More Boys And Girls: Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?

    In the programme, Dr Javid Abdelmoneim sets out to prove that there are no significant physical or psychological differences between young boys and girls (link here).

    To this end a classroom of seven-year-olds is subjected to an experiment in which books with characters “squarely aimed at boys” are thrown away, distinct male and female toilets abolished, and a male make-up artist is brought in to persuade boys to aim for less masculine careers.

    GIRLS VULNERABLE
    The children themselves are horrified at having to share lavatories, with Dr Abdelmoneim admitting that girls feel particularly uncomfortable as a result of the new arrangement (link here).

    This is the latest in a series of programmes by the BBC which appear determined to promote transgenderism as a positive, natural development in children.

    Last week the Victoria Derbyshire programme renewed its coverage of two pre-pubescent children living as members of the opposite gender. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4764198/The-school-went-gender-neutral.html

    A nine-year-old boy who uses the name ‘Lily’ is featured along with his friend ‘Jessica’ who is a ten-year-old boy, and ‘Jessica’s’ step-mother who has decided to live as a member of the opposite sex named ‘Alex’.

        I wonder how the Fascists would react if you called them a bunch of spastics? I know it would be predictable, but consider this, everyday people are struggling to live with very real phobias which affect their daily lives and what difference is there between using someone with a physical condition they have no control over, and a mental one which can have even worse consequences?

        The next time you hear a Fascist complaining about some false phobia or other, call them out on it like they do with us.
        Call them disgusting hypocrites and ‘disablist’ for making light and using debilitating medical conditions for their own political gains.

        When I’ve tried this out once or twice it works, the Fascists have no answer.

    I was interested to see what the BBC would make of today’s inflation figures (for July), which remained steady at 2.6%.
    I could not find anything about this on the BBC website; although reference was made to it on the business news feed.
    I recall that when it increased marginally earlier this year, it was headline news (Brexit, of course, was blamed for this) and was further ramped last month in expectation of another rise. This did not happen and much to the BBC’s amazement and disappointment. The BBC has consistently claimed that a drop in the value of the pound would have a massive and detrimental impact on inflation. As did Nick Clegg. Remember him?

        4) yesterday was Pakistan independence day and the bBC has spend more time celebrating that, that they ever have done St Georges day
        5) Today is the Indian independence day, instead of pictures showing people enjoying themselves, the bBC airs a story which airs all of the HIndu Indians problems by painting Muslims as…victims.

    Some news from the U.S. that you won’t hear on al Beebus, wages for construction workers have risen since the Justice Dept led crackdown on illegal immigrants. The white birthrate has also gone up; such things are related.

    This is why our government was so wrong to have given all the EU folk who are here carte blanche to stay after we get out.
    So what if you have to pay British people more? Maybe it’s because they won’t live 10 per a 2 bedroom house and maybe if you pay them more and improve their f*****g lot in life, in their own country, they might want to start having more children meaning you won’t have to continually import all this cr@p; which will lead to Britons being a minority in Britain – being a minority isn’t a good position to be in anytime but especially not when we can see what the majority is going to be made up of.

    This is one of the things I find quite disturbing. The mob toppling of the NC Confederate statue.
    What other organisations do we know that wants to eradicate history by destroying monuments.
    However, the BBC have been rather quiet on this one. Whilst not condemning it they reported it tucked away in the bbc web site with short video, and the following statement. “The mayors of Baltimore, Maryland, and Lexington, Kentucky, announced plans to remove Confederate monuments in their cities.”
    I am sure they would be baying for the removal of all statues that did not meet with agenda if it were not for the fact that they have their own controversial statue’s on the front of their building at W1A.
    Eric Gill’s 1932 sculptures of Prospero and Ariel, celebrate peadophilia. His diaries, published in 1989, revealed that he regularly abused his daughters Betty and Petra, as well as the family dog.
    A BBC spokesperson in 2013 said: ‘The statue of Ariel and Prospero on the front of Broadcasting House stands as a metaphor for broadcasting, executed by one of the last century’s major British artists whose work has been widely displayed in leading UK museums and galleries.
There are no plans to remove or replace the sculptures at the front of Broadcasting House.
    And another BBC tribute to Gill is the new BBC font is an updated version of Gills San Font, but that’s another moan for another day…..

      What a lot of people don’t seem to realize is that once they’ve allowed the Left to remove the statues of and to the heroes of the Confederacy because of their “support for slavery”; it will only be a matter of time before statues of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington will also be candidates for removal, as they both also owned slaves.

      It was like the exchange I heard the other day about the recent Charlottesville “events”.
      “I wonder what Thomas Jefferson, if he could be reanimated, would say if he could see what was happening there?’

        I inadvertently switched on to someone called Jason Manford (?) – apparently he’s a comedian. Really ? he clearly had the audience in stitches, but all I heard was someone observing life’s situations. Schoolboy giggly stuff, that I never raised a smile to.

      The BBC has a dubious history of hitching itself to niche activism wagons that all too easily fall off cliffs. However they do have the bungee chord that is the state-enforced licence fee to bounce back and start over.

      There are clearly some bonkers, nasty bits of work all around the world, however trying to freak out about one small collection whilst at the same time utterly ignoring all the rest is some serious revisionist idiocy that only the western media bubble could contemplate.

          The violence and mayhem in Charlottesville is a result of the failure of the police to properly “police” this long planned and legally permitted (by a Federal court order) march to protest about the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee from the park which formerly bore his name, in the state where he was from. The blame rests with them and no-one else for not keeping Antifa and their BLM pets under control.

          The MSM and al Beebus are pushing this constructed narrative that a load of “white supremacists” (whatever the f**k they are) and “neo-Nazis” unexpectedly turned up in Charlottesville to maim and kill people. It’s all garbage.
          It will in the fulness of time be revealed as garbage as the organizers of the rally will sue Charlottesville Police and probably their Black Panther Deputy Mayor too, for breaching their civil rights by ignoring an injunction from a Federal Court judge.The way officials like Bull Connor did to Federal court decisions during the Civil Rights protests across the South in the 1960’s.

          If it was unconstitutional for wicked whitey to do it then; why isn’t it unconstitutional for wicked progressives to do the same now?

          P.S. The only person I’ve heard make mention of the fact that Unite The Right had a legal permit to have the march, was the chap from Breitbart interviewed on Toady by Justine yesterday.

        The BBC/MSM just don’t get it. It is 2017, and we do not rely on their lying shit any more. All too often we can see what happened for ourselves, and then contrast it with the tissue of lies they present to us. The game is up for the liars at the BBC, they are on borrowed time.

          I wish I shared your optimism. This morning’s headlines on BBC Scotland are about the horror of Trump saying there was violence on both sides. That is an incontrovertible fact, borne out by video evidence available to anyone who does basic research, yet is being denied.

          We have now moved from biased reporting and lies by omission to outright denial of facts. All with the approval of the establishment. I think we have just crossed the line where there is no way out now without considerable violence that will make Charlottesville look like handbags.

              The BBC do not like Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, and I also suspect – as they prominently linked him to his political Party last night – that the BBC also do not like the Bharatiya Janata Party.

              They are not paid by the taxpayer to like or not like politicians and their Parties. They are there to report, inform and educate. They can call on to their television and radio programmes any number of political, social or media commentators who when interviewed can do the liking and not liking.

    The Beeb reports on the ‘outrage’ Trump’s press conference garnered, doing some excellent investigative journalism by reading out the Twitter feeds of people on their side, and for ‘balance’ Republicans who also bear grudges against Trump. But, they sneer, he did have one person supporting him: KKK leader David Duke!

    You know what, Beeb? He has a lot of supporters – he just won an election. If people had a vote on whether the BBC should stay in power they would not survive. It is contemptuous liberal elitists like you who have outaged the vast majority of decent people. Was this country so bad? Did you really have to force this reckless experiement of multiculturalism on us, the terrifying results of which become more apparent every day?

    People should be allowed to stand up for their own culture without being attacked and bullied by SJW lunatics. I imagine the true number of ‘white nationalists’ at this demonstration was minimal, and like Trump boldly said they were decent people who have worked hard their whole lives and love their country and are sick and tired of having their identity denigrated. Trump is standing up to the bullies; if you do not then it just emboldens them. If only we had had all those inciting murder arrested over the Satanic Verses affair. We just appeased them and now, along with so many other cherished things, we have no free speech – the bedrock of a free society.

    Should journalists not establish the facts? Were Antifa violent? Who started it? No – they spring straight to ‘outrage’, ad hominem attacks and guilt by association, which shows the facts are not on their side.

    £3 billion a year for this garbage? They employ 3000 ‘journalists’ and this is the lazy sh*t they churn out for their flagship news programme? Someone bad said they liked what he said, how f**king pathetic and childish is that? You could say that about literally anything.

      Nothing new here Beeb.
      How many interviews have we heard on the Today show where the politician is interviewed, the “political correspondent” of the BBC then brought in to “interpret” what our politician actually said.
      Well-what the BBC wants us all to think was said, what spin and emphasis we`re expected to put on the politicans words.
      Why else would they be so blatant?
      And then we get the edited soundbite on the news for an hour or so-at this time of year, with no news it may well float in the bowl until teatime too.

      The “media” now thinks that it “mediates” between we the plebs and the elites who match their pay grade and status in 2017. It does no such thing-why the hell would I care to hear two budding millionaires spout bubble stuff for their gilded allies amusement?
      And my care home taxes go towards funding it all as well.
      The media today ARE the news-fake, false and bogus versions all subtly different.
      And the media not only ARE the news-but they make it, bake it fake it, choose it , lose it-how many shades of shit do you want?
      There`s a science here-free research data in this most fertile of areas.
      And Trump resurgent , with Hardest Possible Brexit; is the bar that is set for us to see whether we`ll have a country or an Islamic Green Room of a bordello to pass on to our kids.

    I am not normally accused of being lost for words but that is a state I am finding myself in time and time again.

    The MSM are going on and on and on about Trump. The facts of the death and rioting in Charlottesville don’t seem to matter. All that matters is that Trump didn’t single out the side that the MSM and the usual suspects happen to like the least by a wide margin.

    It happens here on a regular basis – not just with the BBC, but SKY, the DT, you name it. Facts mean nothing, it’s all about the feelings of lefties and alleged victims, and identity politics is the centre of it all. The problem I have is that the cycle seems to be repeating itself week after week, month after month, and there’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said 1,000 times already.

    I don’t think I’m alone in this. The danger, IMO, is that people will become so frustrated in time that a truly extreme party will come to power. There seems to be little respect these days for truth, facts, and genuinely free debate. The parameters of any debate that reaches a wide audience seem to be determined solely by the left.

    I think the west is heading for trouble and I think our lost homogeneity is largely behind it.

      I am hoping the BBC has again hitched itself too early to knackered horses pulling a collapsing wagon headed for a cliff. Of all things to hang their Trump derangement on… white (or is it black) washing the words and deeds of BLM, Antifa, etc to this point? Nuts. Clearly there are some Pyscho loons with racist views but flipping the KKK from Democrat to Republican takes some revisionism. And the selective ‘X likes Y on this, so Y is an X’ use suddenly applies when it suits?

      If the actions and possible motivations (there are examples of poor outcomes for vehicle drivers caught by attacking mobs who stop and are extracted) of one person in the USA tars every single person around the world not in support of the cause he was against, how is the precedent not to apply elsewhere?

      There have been scores if not hundreds of vehicular terrorist attacks prior to this, yet the likes of the BBC immediately go into watertight oversight lockdown and start searching for excuses and motivations. Now it is name and shame, smear and fear. The language used by predictably sheep like commentators on social media has been emboldened to a scary level by the faux legitimisation they get from the comfort blanket of such as Sopel, Kay, etc throwing the baby of impartiality under a bus simply because they hate that one man does what he says he would do and people voted for him.

      The BBC truly is the spawn of Nazi propaganda (apols to Godwin, but it seems he may have made exceptions legitimate) with Lord Haw Haw at its helm.

        GW,
        on the very few occasions recently I have watched/listened to a BBC news feature on Pres. Trump, brought to my senses by the ever obviously bitter Jon Sopel, I sensed something else emerging: a volte-face.
        With regard to impeachment and the numerous attempts to bring Pres. Trump down, Sopel outlines his speculation on progress and, now, it seems to end with a warning: “Of course, they might not find anything”; “If they find anything”; “Of course this is not an option if the evidence is not there” etc. etc. Could it be that Sopel really, really knows some truth about the absense of any evidence but simply, at this stage, wants to continue the illusion that Pres. Trump is failing all round and the BBC wants to continue fanning the flames ?

          Politics of the least bad throws up some dilemmas.

          Do I think Donald Trump will be seen as a ‘good’ President? I doubt it. Rather depends on who writes the histories, and currently that is the media and controls the internet.

          Certainly he seems crass, unsophisticated and prone to knee jerks. But look at the alternatives. Mrs. ‘Duck, sniper’ and her unfortunately death prone close colleagues? Bernie “My other mansion is a mansion”? Barack “Red lines, nothing but red lines do I see”?

          But for all his failings (and which leader was or is free of them?) he seems to be trying to do what he said he would, and if presented with a spade, avoids a focus group response that it appears to be some form of hole digging implement, thus giving a clearly deranged media all they need.

          At this rate, for the dubious Pyhhric victory of bringing down a figure representing all their considerable hate can muster, namely a democratically elected Presdient of a system that can only function if the majority country pulls with them undistracted by minority media, activist and state employee meddling (plus that idiot May, who hasn’t seen a bandwagon she can’t get run over by), they seem set on bringing a world of pain down on the whole USA… and the rest of the world too.

          Nice one, Jon & Co.

    Grant – I remember the Beeb reporting on the jury finding the officers who shot Duggan of not being guilty. They interviewed loads of learned legal minds from the ‘community’ who said stuff like: “Yeah like gotta be 99.99% certain bruv. He didn’t have no gun in his hand.”

    The test is subjective: the officer had to have genuinely believed he might have a gun and that belief had to be reasonably held. Given that a gun was found near to his car, they had (correct) intelligence that he was going to pick up a gun and that Duggan had a violent criminal history, that belief was indeed reasonable.

    It is not possible to be ‘99.99%’ sure as this vox pop with such a brilliant legal mind suggested. The reductio ad absurdam is that if Police had to be certain of everything when using a firearm, they could never use firearms as such a level of certainty is impossible in most things, certainly in frenetic fight or flight situation like these officers faced. If we have no armed Police, terrorists and criminals could run rampant which would be to the detriment of 99.99% of people.

    Why give morons like this a platform for their opinion? He probably thinks subjective and objective are record labels; he clearly had no grasp whatsoever of the legal issues. Yet the Beeb put him on prime time television telling us what we ought to think?

      He’s not thinking, he doesn’t know whether it should be 99.99 or 50. As far as he’s concerned whites and the police will always be in the wrong and his point, if you can call it that, is cobbled together on that premise. Anything approaching rational debate in these circumstances is impossible. It would be like arguing with a toddler.

      It’s a mentality that destroys prosperity in neighbourhoods, towns, cities and even countries. The Left approves, of course, because they think that they could start with a blank slate and build their utopia. Good luck with that bruv. People with any ability will be long gone.

    Come on! Why not? Sound weird?

    The bBBC (who used to have their own tube station at White City) are bigging up the new rail fare increase.
    Shock. Horror. The proportion of rail income from passenger fares has risen from 54% to about 65% since 2010 they tell us. This is obviously unfair, they insinuate.

    How about people who do not use the train? Should they have to pay the full cost of their own transport and then subsidise train users as well ?
    Don’t expect the collectivist, statist, metropolitan, entitled elite at the bBBC to think about that one.

      In islam, if Mohammed (the fake prophet, not the fake British Quorn salesman) did it, then it is all right.

      Thus:

      Sex with children

      Raping kufar women

      Beheading prisoners of war

      Are all perfectly all right, because Mohammed did them. Only a BBC “journalist” or left wing virtue signalling idiot (but then I repeat myself) could fail to see the pattern. As far as the islam cult is concerned, sex with children, rape of kufars and murder of hostages are not a bug, they are a feature.

    The left want to police peoples thoughts and views and criminalise only the views and actions they dont agree with. I dont give 2 fooks what another man thinks or wants, I just dont want them to force it upon me…….and thats the issue here. Political violence is political violence. Whether its violence to stop immigration or violence to allow immigration to continue, its violence. This BS about we must stop hate is a lie. The vast majority of the left now seem to hate everything they dont agree with (Trump, Farage..) and they believe that violence is justified. Everyone is a Nazi that doesnt agree with their world view, and Nazi’s can be attacked (look how the MSN have just accepted the each act of violence in the name of attacking the so-called nazi?). This is the worrying part, because the violence is now is no only justified by the antifa and BLM militants they alone are deciding what is acceptable or not. Hate leads to hate. Violence leads to Violence. Whether its white supremacist, black supremacist (BLM or violent rioters in London) or islamic supremacists (which seems to be growing) or political supremacists (Venezuela or the Labour Party under Corbyn) the violence and hatred should be called out and vilified…..but no…the only violence the BBC, our main political parties, and the US MSM are even remotely interested in is by those who have white skin.

    If you view this clip:

    https://www.therebel.media/raw_car_mows_down_antifa_blm_at_unite_the_right_charlottesville

    which was filmed right on the spot, it is clear that the grey car, driven by the so-called white supremacist, drove into the back of a white car, which then drove into the back of another car. The victim was caught between the grey car and the white car. The acceleration of the grey car was very sudden, consisent with the attack on it seen in other video from the rear. The driver then reverses away at speed, a wise precaution, as the mob would probably have beaten him to death.

    It is now quite clear to me that the initial MSM story, that this was some sort of Westminster Bridge attack by a neo-nazi is false. The real criminal is the Antifa thug who attacked the car with a baseball bat. Despite this, President Trump is still being attacked, even, it seems, by Theresa the Appeaser, for condemning violence from all sides. As far as the left wing establishment is concerned, the “Alt-Right” who were protesting legally, with a permit, and who were attacked by Antifa, are the real villains of the piece. Anyone who uses his eyes and makes his own judgments is an enemy of the people.

    There is a good reason why George Orwell worked at the BBC before he wrote “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, and we are seeing it yet again now.

      See link to Treezer’s remarks on Trump.
      Straight from Socialist Worker/ UAF.

      ‘Theresa May has said it is important to condemn far-right views “wherever we hear them” as she was asked about Donald Trump’s response to clashes in the United States.
      The PM said: “I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them.”

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40948414

      Treezer is more than an appeaser; she is an active enemy of the US, our traditional ally, and its President. Her comment about Trump was ill informed and could only be produced from sources which are hostile to Trump. We know the state here backs the UAF and Antifa thugs, financing them in various indirect ways, and employing them as stormtroopers to use violence against patriotic protesters, anti sharia demonstrators, Brexiteers, and what she and her ilk see as far right extremists such as the EDL. Using and supporting Antifa has the advantage both here and the US of a force which can go further in its use of violence than the cops, and you will see that even when arrested Antifa thugs will go free.

      Treezer is a creature of the BBC, sharing their perspective on anti Trump, anti Brexit, open borders and Islam.

      The Tories do not have the guts to sack this enemy of our country and we have to create an alternative political movement.

          Totally agree Rob Theresa has certainly has not wasted any time jumping onto the “right on ” bandwagon.

          I cant decide whether she is just pig ignorant and totally insulated from what is happening in the real world or is actually in favour of the Soros/Blair world view that us little people need to be told what to believe even if it flies in the face of the the truth and the evidence of our own eyes..

          These days I am leaning towards the latter view, is a fully paid up member of the “liberal elite”and cannot be trusted in any way .

          Whilst I am sure there were more than a few unsavoury /fascist type characters at Charlotesville – And yes fascists may well be an accurate term I am sure there were also many people just there because they disagree with the the left re-writing history – just because certain characters in countries past have become an emotional shibboleth for the left wing . Does not mean that they were not important/ influential and should not be remembered even if “triggered” lefties dont like it .

          What sort of emotional babies are these people?

          All this left wing moral posturing is nothing more than hypocritical bullshit. To enable the left to pretty much do what they like whilst at the same time cowering anyone who still has a regard for the truth and objects to what is happening to our culture and history.

          This is conditioning pure and simple. And in order to exist in the BBC/Guardians “Brave new Soros funded World we have to learn the new definitions.
          such as
          -Anyone black or left wing can never be considered racist or fascist and neither are any of their actions no matter how violent – So MPs or political activists such as Naz Shah calling for the “disappearance” of Israel were just making a reasonable political point. Whearas people marching to object to the mass sexual assault of white working class girls are fascists and can be assaulted without police protection.

          The same goes for anyone objecting to Sharia law or similair repressive practices by Islamic preachers or even migration. Because the left consider them “fascists ” too they are likely to be “no platformed” by Universities or attacked verbally and physically, whereas up until recently many hate preachers or similair were welcomed with open arms. and often on television spouting their poison and community victimhood in equal measures.

          I think what Theresa has done with this statement is giving the green light for the Antifa/left wing to attack anyone they consider “fascist” And send a message to those of us on the “right” what to expect. We have seen it already with some of Tommy Robinsons demos- and I now I think we can expect much more of the same.

          Theresa has definitely nailed her colours to the rainbow/multykulty mast. And I think from now on we can expect things to get much nastier. For a “safe” vicars daughter – she is certainly playing a very dangerous game.

        GWF, that is a very worrying article. It shows that prominent Conservatives such as May, Javid and Davidson appear to be very anti-Trump and it implies that they condone far-left violence to an extent. The nuances of Trump’s arguments seem to be lost on them. They seem to be criticising him purely because he has pointed out that the far left engage in acts of violence – something which has been obvious for many years. I am getting very concerned about the mass media’s propaganda onslaught against Trump; it seems to be affecting politicians as well.

    http://www.nationalreview.com/article/450462/antifa-alt-right-twin-cancers-eating-america

    This article is worth reading as it relates to a number of posts here, following Ttp’s.
    In essence, (if I may make a clear distinction purely for these purposes) the developed West is disintegrating into a ‘left’ and ‘right’ in roughly equal proportions (Brexit Referendum / last election?). The ‘right’ consists of sensible, mature people that just want to get on with life and/or business. They accept that a Government will not get it right all the time but if action is taken to remedy any problem arising – that’s fine with them. I’d like to think, in the main, reasonable people. The ‘left’ consists of a miasma of anyone that feels aggrieved about anything – they coalesce around the, forgive me, ‘broad chapel of the left’. The problem is, the ‘left’ have been left to get very organised over the decades and in the process, lay down unshakeable ‘principles’ which have grown out of proportion over the decades and, indeed, roots of their own. I.e. Stonewall growing to the legitimising of the nut jobs we see masquerading as ‘inbetweeners’. Islam has recognised this and has, for the moment, fallen in to the ranks of the left albeit they have their own agenda and the left is just a vehicle at the moment. One commonality of all factions in the left: prick one faction and all the rest, mob handed, join the fray to defeat the foe. Meanwhile, the disorganised, disheartened right forage around looking for some means of countering the organised left. Will they ever? I don’t know but, one things for sure all the disparate ingredients are in the mixing pot for a very violent future in the West.

      G, I think what we’re seeing is the result of the left decoupling from the USSR, a process that has taken a generation. Old fashioned lefties of the Corbyn variety got their inspiration, if not their actual orders, from Moscow, and Moscow kept some of the worst aspects of the left in check. Sort of like a teacher in a classroom. Since the collapse of the USSR the ‘teacher’ has left the classroom and the pupils have taken over, like in ‘Lord of the Flies’ with all the chaos that went along with that.

        Always good to get the historical perspective. The Soviet Union and Maos China, the Khmer Rouge, the Taliban and IS all agreed that removing the past and all its symbols, its books, its statues and traditions was required for the New Man of their creations.
        The Cultural Revolutions in all cases begin with symbols, books and history-all ended with the removing of people and memory, documented evidence of their atrocities.
        Bet they all dreamed of BBCNN, of Twitter, Facebook and selfies-as long as you didn`t point it at THEM without a permit and the right contacts or univeristy job.
        No different in the USA or EU today-just a seeping descent to the same leftish goals and madnesses.
        No passeran this tempo!

      Re G above.
      Disappointed in Bens article. He`s much better than this.
      1. Robert Spencer is NOT a racist.
      Neither are Bannon or Gorka for that matter.
      2. The Dangerous Right are a pustule in comparison to the gargantual brain tumorous growth that is the Left…the Left threaten us all TODAY, the right are easily biddable. The Left leave slime all over and with ballbearings to make governing or education impossible. The right just need to be able to read by comparison.
      3. Ben is smug and complacent here-has issues with past employers-hope he doesn`t end up like Anna Soubry, he`s so much better than that. All this being said-he`s clever and he lives there-so I could be talking out of my blagged stetson.

    Not the BBC, but to illustrate how PR BS gets into the news.
    Times Pg 7 Rail Fare Anger
    Chart shows UK has EUs most expensive fares at 50p / mile

    Hangon is that right ?
    Many people commute 50 miles there and 50 back, does it cost them £50 per day for those 100 miles ?
    ie £50K for 1,000 days ? Ie 4 years
    Or £12.5K for 250 days of a typical worker in a year ?
    Nope Alongside the chart are some season ticket prices of £1,580 to £4,780
    So those season ticket fares seem to be 20p per mile
    Which is about the same you get for advanced off peak purchase online.
    That chart has only 3 EU countries charging less than that

    The source of the Times stats Vouchercloud
    Which of course is going to tell you normal fares are expensive, cos they want to make their vouchers seem a good deal

      Don’t talk to me about turn up and buy fares especially involving London zone 1.

      Most people know to use internet advanced purchase.
