    Another knife attack in Düsseldorf! Isn’t this enriching? I was planning to watch the football this weekend but it would feel improper not to throw a party to celebrate all this diversity.

    They have the nerve to rant and rave for five days about perhaps a few dozen ‘white nationalists’, whilst this global, organised force is attacking us from every angle? They really are a disgrace. It almost feels providential that this would happen just after Charlottesville. That the Left can hyperventilate about Trump’s supposedly ‘insufficiently fast response’ to those events whilst they – our supposedly moral superior fourth estate – refuses to even name the true evil of our times? Where is their response? It is non-existent.

    He is the only leader who will speak honestly about the problem and confront it. I bet they will sleep easier than us tonight in the US knowing they have Trump in charge.

      BB,
      I spent over 8 years living in Duss. The knife attack was actually in Wuppertal (about 15KMs away). According to the German police report.:
      Around 14:45 clock, came from still unexplained cause between several men in a shop at the Kipdorf, in the Wuppertaler district Elberfeld, to the dispute. In the course of this, a 31-year-old man was mortally injured by Messerstiche. His 25-year-old brother was also so severely injured by Messerstiche that he had to be treated intensively in the hospital. Both injured parties are from Iraq. The perpetrators escaped from the crime scene. The search of a house in the Kipdorf, with the addition of special forces, did not lead to the discovery of the perpetrators. A murder commission was established. The investigations continue.

      Messerstiche means stab wounds

    In light of the rash of Islamic attacks across Europe has anybody heard of this most relevant story which the bBC reported yesterday:
    Luton gun smuggling crime gang jailed
    A “dominating bully” who led a gang which smuggled a machine gun, semi-automatic handguns and ammunition into the UK has been jailed for life. Muzaffer Ali, 39, from Maidenhall Road in Luton, Bedfordshire had denied importing prohibited weapons. Judge Jonathan Carroll told St Alban’s Crown Court the weapons were to be used for “terrorising, intimidating and causing serious injury and death”. Four other men were also jailed for their part in the gun smuggling.

    So according to the bBC this was all the work of a domineering bully , the local rag thankfully reports this a lot better than the bBC does:
    Luton firearm-gang locked up for more than 83 years
    “FIVE Luton men have been sentenced to a combined total of more than 83 years behind bars for their roles in conspiring to import and distribute firearms into the UK.”

    5 men get 83 years between them, so it must have been serious and yet after the leader of the Labour party claims we shouldn’t finger point at the Pakistani community, after the attacks in Barcelona and the resignation of the shadow equalities minister regards Pakistani Muslims, the bBC keeps a most relevant story off the front,second, third, forth and fifth pages.
    Gee I wonder why?

        So Isis wants to kill westerners in the street.
        Al beeb won’t mention anything about Isis/ Islam/Muslim illegals/ refugees .,

        So each time these attacks happen we are mystified why it happened and everybody was full of love , pulled together and lit candles .

        Still think albeeb is much happier attacking the confederacy & Trump .

        It’s a shame there isn’t a decent military target to hit in response to these attacks

    According to the beebistan ‘news’ at 9pm, all of Spain are asking Why?

    Allow me to shed some light:

    – because they’re muslims.

    – because their ‘religion’ tells them to, i.e. their ‘scriptures’, their history, and their ‘imams’.

    Despite the fact that Spain really did dodge a bullet yesterday when the ISIS bomb factory which was going to supply a load of ISIS terrorists with the means to murder hundreds. The bBC informs me that the people of Barcelona see Islamic terrorists as nothing more than victims:
    Spain attacks: How Barcelona rejected hate
    Less than 24 hours after the horrific van attack, the people of Barcelona set out to reclaim their beloved city…Stop at a tree where a little stuffed toy had been placed among the candles and flowers, and you could make out the sound of several women crying inconsolably as a man with a guitar led others in a rendition of John Lennon’s song of peace and tolerance, Imagine…Human rights activists Luca Gervasoni Avila and Josep Maria Royo also turned up to observe the silence.Mass surveillance and intensive use of the military and the police did not work, he argued. Instead, “human rights, tolerance and democracy” should be promoted. “We are a city with a large number of immigrants, a city that wants to welcome refugees, a city that wants to offer a different model of response in the event of terrorism,” said Luca. “Now is a moment to think different.
    “Josep Maria Royo’s immediate response to the violence in Barcelona was to go on social media in an effort to calm people down. “People were sharing images of their crime which showed children, blood, injured people,” he said.
    “It’s easy to spread a message of hate against the Islamic population. We must stop these expressions of hate.

    So according to Josep Maria Royo’ anybody who tweeted images of the aftermath of yesterdays terrorist drive by are guilty of a hate crime against the people who carried out that attack and therefore must be stopped from spreading their hatred in future. Why am I not surprised how the bBC has taken a page out of the Corbyn book of appeasement towards terrorists in which to knock out a worthy news story. Funny enough, the thugs who carried all this out are young followers of ISIS. The same people the bBC has been promoting all week as….victims
    Funny that.

    just for the info, 40% of all Islamic terrorist arrests in Spain have been in Catalonia.

      Contrast this ‘rejection of hate’ narrative with the article they ran about Charlottesville. It related a poor black women being terrorised by people who thought white people were racially pure; a Jewish couple were abused which obviously reminded them of the Holocaust, which the writer then comically evokes in detail, saying 6 million died and it all started with ‘hateful rhetoric.’

      I am sure the vast majority at that rally ‘rejected hate.’ It is quite hard to reject hate when people are throwing rocks and urine at you and hitting you with baseball bats; I would say a reaction is more self-defence than marking the start of a new Holocaust. I am sure most involved were very upset about what had happened, but we all know how the Beeb love to portray white men as pure evil. I also heard the driver of that car was Schizoprhenic so he may have panicked when the Antifa thugs came for him. We can never know the facts, but it is clearly not a case of some evil Hitler youth deliberately ploughing his car into a peaceful ‘counter protestor’ who was just singing lullabies.

      The Beeb would have us believe they all danced around her dead body and were so inspired they decided to go off and build a gas chamber.

              Its true about the reckoning. In the last days of the Soviet Union, the opponents of Communism found out that the best way to oppose the Regime was to exaggerate its ideology in press publications, radio and television. As we now see in adverts as well as the BBC,s propaganda inserts between programmes.

              So the gay and racial depictions should become more and more ridiculously unrealistic and numerous.
              But then as Lord Hall and his gang begin to think its beginning to look embarrassingly over the top, they find that they cannot do anything to reign it in, because to do so would only cast them as racists or homophobic. Which means that the Politically Correct systems reckoning comes through a mad collective collapse of credibility through fear of not conforming with the Politically Correct ideology.

    Interesting Any Questions this evening.
    The panel was reasonably balanced with a hilarious ‘Dave Spart’ caricature extreme left winger, once on the Corbyn team, plus Jesse Philips, always good for a laugh, but counterbalanced by two Tories who for once fought their corner on things like Pakistani rapists with minimal apology.
    What was interesting was the applause. Left wing views, thunderous applause. Right wing views, isolated applause.
    A biased audience. On a bBBC audience participation programme. What are the chances of that?.

      Jess “the foghorn” Philips is vying with the Hackney Hippo for the Most Stupid Woman on the Media award.
      The mindless bint asked out aloud for all to hear why did all those men in Spain commit mass murder? “Why are they being so nasty? “, she ponders. She seems to think that at least one of the latest atrocities in Britain might be down to the cultural derailment of the once so reasonable Men of Kent. It’s a complete mystery to Jess. All those staunch, loyal Brits who have lived in and defended their country for generations suddenly turning violent and butchering their fellow citizens. It must be the evil Tories and austerity to blame. What else could it be apart from that or the patriarchal society we live in? Comforting to know that if Comrade Corbyn has his Machtergreifung, Jess’ towering intellect will be deployed to benefit the nation.

    And all things should come out with time.

    Yet terrorists try to kill lots , they pick the moment and kill with the car again and again, they don’t drive away.

      Indeed, one car runs into the back of another and one woman gets caught in the collision. A copycat killer would have waited for a clear run, they would have mounted the sidewalk, and as you say, with a readily available handgun they could easily have killed a dozen people.
      There are similarities here with ‘the boy on the beach’. Supposedly hundreds have died trying to get into Europe yet the death of one boy ‘suddenly’ produces calls to open the doors to Europe.
      I can’t get over Mrs. May’s daft ‘no moral equivalence’ this week. A young man wearing full SS-regalia and singing the Horst-Wessel-Lied song does not a Nazi or a Fascist make. Misguided maybe but a long, long way from actually engaging in racial genocide. Yet any thugs that call themselves ‘anti-Fascist’ get a free pass while attacking people and property. Now here is where the BBC should be using the term ‘so-called’.

      What the hell is going on? I engaged in debates at school where freedom seemed to be an obvious and hard-won achievement. I went to university to study and ignored all the politics like trying to ‘Ban Barclay’s’ etc. I have never been a member of any political party. I have never taken part in any demonstration. I would like to see the good in all peoples. I give strangers the benefit of doubt, (though if they looked hostile I would cross the street as an act of sensible self-preservation). I quite like the idea that people around the world do things differently, let the French be French, etc. I’m quite happy for them to come visit, learn or trade in reasonable numbers, but I know that if they stay my culture and their culture will be modified. I suspect that the vast majority of the people in the world think, (or rather did), think the same. Live and Let Live.

      And yet I rather think that our Prime Minister would call me an extremist, something that I would quietly and politely deny. No, rather she and the vast majority of our politicians are appeasers, in the mould of a Chamberlain, wanting ‘peace’ at any price. Either that or they are part of dark forces from inside that are seeking to overturn ‘the enlightenment’ and destroy the whole of Western Civilisation – and yes that means your iPads, air travel, electricity and internet you gullible idiots!

    3) In their video clip a witness spouts the usual liberal platitudes ending with “We can’t and we won’t ever give in to the ideologies of fear and hate.”

    Meaning: don’t hate or fear those who want to destroy us. But maybe it’s time we DID hate and fear those who want to destroy us. Or they will.

    Funny how they always quote the pc libtard in these cases (possibly fed their lines), never those – I suspect the majority – who are thinking much less charitable thoughts, like the angry crowd who were cheering and jeering at a suspect arrested in Barcelona. Now my Spanish isn’t fluent, but I don’t think they were shouting ‘we mustn’t give in to fear and hate’.

    Cognates of “Jihad” are present.

    Present before the next presentation from TWMTB which will, menaciously, describe the Jihadis as an aberration, a distortion, a misunderstanding, a tiny proportion of mentally ill people, who do not represent the real Islam, which is all sweetness and light.
    The 70% of Muslims who have sympathy for Jihadis will not be mentioned in the AlBeeb “analysis”.

    BBC Today reporter in Barcelona observes two groups of people: the candle and flower bearing faction that is facing up to those opposite chanting, ‘far right-wing’ anti-multiculturalism, anti-muslim people across the street. The police keep them apart. Now, the sleight of hand reporting goes like this – interview only one of the candle/flower bearing faction for his views. He ends his nonsense with the expression, “love prevails over hate”. We are then quickly taken to a Spanish Government Minister that tells the listener that multiculturalism has worked in the area and the group none like to name, muslims, are integrated.
