Shame, simply no faith in our Governments ability to protect us………………….
Hi G, the Governments first interest is to protect their own interests, of themselves and their mates inside and outside of Parliament.
Look at how long David Cameron and George Osborne stuck around once they felt they could no longer gain by staying in Parliament. They lost the political argument and decided to get out. It is all self-interest. They were examples of careerist politicians.
G – More terrorists in Europe than we suspected? About 44 million according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe
Don’t forget the old groups. Saw the name of the French one the other day, come up in something or other. What was it? Action Directe?
Martin Schulz (Socialist candidate up against Merkel next month), IIRC, was pals with Rudy Dutschke.
Some of the Palestinian groups had ‘white Chapters’ in Europe in the 1960s & 1970s.
With the passing of time, it is hoped that old agitprop-ers mellow and take more of the Martin McGuinness route but don’t count on it. There may be plenty of ex-Stasi and similar who would take the chance to pop out of the shadows to try to even the score a bit in their direction.
“Nobody would leave their home, cross the Sahara, cross the Mediterranean, risking their lives, if they were not desperate.” – Diane Abbott {twitter aug2017}
“The Govts (Conservative) failure to support refugees is a disgrace …”
Sorry, I’ve missed Diane Abbott so here come the twitter replies …
We are crippled as a country already, more immigrants should be returned not brought in!!!! Get a grip, for once will you!!
Immigrants are not crippling this country the Tories are, the tax breaks for the millionaires/conglomerates alone would bankroll the NHS
Couldn’t care on your views when you only blame one party, all guilty. Our infrastructure is suffering due to influx of immigrants. End of
Ok believe what you want, tax experts believe that Google alone owes us 5 billion but yh it’s that guy from Syria who gets £80 a week JSA
5bn is about a 1/5 annual spend on benefits just in London, stop talking out of your backside
Mind boggling most seem to have left their wives & children behind!!!
Diane, don’t think I am being smart – but in your heart of hearts do you really believe you are cut out to be Shadow Home Secretary for all?
Lets hope you’re never in charge of immigration or you’ll be inviting more Mulsim terrorists in to the Country. Delusional beyond belief!
If I was going to get a free house and shit loads of benefits for doing nothing for the rest of my life, I’d cross the bloody Sahara.
How many have you put up in your house?!
That desperate that they pass through many countries to go live in bushes in Calais? I’d be thanking the first safe place ive arrived in
If you’re desperate then the first country of safety would be sufficient, not travel half way round the world.
Their wife’s must be scary they’ve left them all behind
How many to build your new Britain Diane – one million, two? And then the new houses, care homes, hospitals, language centres and schools.
Young men of fighting age usually. Opening borders to Isis, Thankyou government..
Tell that to the families of terror victims, do one Abbott
Why is it our governments responsibility to house and feed the world?
Abbott is dangerous and presents a genuine threat to this country just like the traitors and fanatics she so adores.
Just had a thought about this, what about a criminal running from the police?

Beeb doesn’t seem to keen on following-up the Finland attack.

Not a good advert for Moroccan immigrants/asylum seekers
I wish people would sue these governments for failure to keep their citizens safe – given what they know about the immigration situation. Morocco, where Europeans go to holiday, and Richard Branson has a posh, very expensive hotel. So why are these men seeking asylum?? to live in Europe? And clearly, it is not terrorism to kill in response to having an application refused, it is retaliation and should be stated as such by everyone. Let us in, or we will kill you.
When I get really upset about this stuff, AndyPandy says the European leaders will never change, and it can only end one way.
Loobyloo,
Come now, you are not suggesting that our Government does not have the welfare of the public at heart?
http://www.westmonster.com/there-are-more-terrorists-in-europe-than-we-suspect/
Be assured (and relieved?) that we, your British Government, is promoting the import of more muslim terrorists as rapidly as we can, indeed, at precisely this point in time, you can be assured that yet another terrorist is clandestinely entering the UK either by air, land or sea. We like to think that we will always follow the wishes of our public……….
Yeah, I am, but I think the European governments may actually be worse!! For instance, why hasn’t the Spanish govt put an immediate stop to any travel between Spain and Morocco, so that as Trump put it ‘they can figure out what the hell is going on’? Even if it was challenged in the courts, they could manage it for a short time and give the impression that they have a spine. What they are basically saying, with lack of action, is, we know they’re here, but we’re not doing anything about it, so it’s all part of living in a big city/country with uncontrolled immigration.
Looby,
European ” Governments ” are like rabbits in the headlights. They simply do not know what to do. They are utterly useless.

Oh look he is named after the ‘prophet’…but of course it’s nothing to do with Islam!
I seem to remember other recent attacks were by failed asylum seekers….the Loony Left will soon be saying it’s our fault for not granting them asylum the poor wee things.
With all the summer hysteria about statues I wonder how soon some idiot with a hammer will have a go at nelsons column ? Al beeb will scream about security and they’ll put the usual ‘news’ people in the square.
Personally – I don’t think Earl Haig deserves a statue in Whitehall but that’s my read of history in 2017 and not events in 1917.
Come on – what about those lion statues? I mean, lions have killed a lot of black people. And Eros – millions have died from broken hearts and Boadicea – she was anti globalist, anti Roman. Alfred the Great hated cakes so by extension, he hated gay wedding cakes so was homophobic.
Nice comment.
Don’t forget that Needle thing on the Embankment. Isn’t it from Egypt which is surely a reminder of the pyramids and how they were built by slaves.
Though funnily enough whenever you mention this (and of course that so many in Egypt profit from people visiting these disgusting, heinous, slave built edifices) we’re suddenly meant to believe that they were built by unionised contracted employees.
Fedup
See earlier posts – Afua Hirsch in the Guardian.
Fedup
Perhaps she should go to France and call for statues of Napoleon to be pulled down first ?
After all it was the Royal Navy that spent many years preventing the slave trade….………….
Silly woman .
Is it white supremacists who keep slaves these days ?
or is it people with Muslim names like Abu (Arabic for father) ?
A story somehow not covered by the BBC
The heart-breaking scene (Saudi boss, seconds before he gropes and sexually molests maid), filmed secretly as part of a grainy half-minute clip, shot around the world this week after a courageous—and angry—wife apparently posted it to the Internet from Saudi Arabia, shocking viewers and inspiring a social media campaign, #SaudiWomanCatchesHusbandCheating. The case, which the government of Indonesia says it is investigating and trying to confirm, became even more outrageous when media accounts reported the wife faces jail time for allegedly “defaming her husband in line with the law on information technology crimes.” (women have equal rights?)
… …
But the clip of the Saudi man stalking and sexually harassing his family’s “maid servant” is more than just an Internet meme. It is emblematic of the de facto slave subculture that thrives in modern day Saudi Arabia, supported by fatwas from Saudi clerics from the country’s dogmatic Wahhabi and Salafi schools of Islam, which argue that the Quran gives owners—most usually men—rights over “those whom your right hand possess,” or, in Arabic, “mā malakat aymānukum“ (4:3, 4:24, 4:24, 16:71, 23:5-6, 24:33, 24:58, 33:50).{thedailybeast nov2015}
– Is this where we are heading in the UK? The reporter of the perversion becomes the criminal.
– Women Secretly Filmed Husband Cheating With Their Maid {youtube oct2015}
– Choice of words in the title: ‘Cheating’ or ‘Sexually Attacking’? ‘Maid’ or ‘Slave’?
#SaudiWomanCatchesHusbandCheating – BBC NO RESULTS.
#BringBackOurGirls – BBC LOTS OF RESULTS!
Marky,
One Gambian maid/slave managed to escape the dirty Arabs and made it back to Gambia. I do not know how she did it. But she gave an interview to a Gambian newspaper saying that she had to ” massage ” her Arab boss about 3 times a day. ” Massage ” in Gambian english means sex. And the BBC just love Arabs .
Stories that should not be forgotten – but are too awful to be told as we don’t want to believe they can happen in our time.
Migrants from west Africa being ‘sold in Libyan slave markets’ {guardian apr2017}
“UN migration agency says selling of people is rife in African nation that has slid into violent chaos since overthrow of Gaddafi”
“West African migrants are being bought and sold openly in modern-day slave markets in Libya, survivors have told a UN agency helping them return home.
…
Loprete’s office has arranged for the repatriation of 1,500 people in the first three months of this year – almost the same number as in the whole of 2015. He fears more horrors are likely to emerge.
“
Muslims still keep slaves in the Africa. Republic of Mauritania. You would think the SJWs should care more about actual slavery taking place now than slavery from the past. They never bring up the issue.
Beeb,
They do not give a flying F about the suffering of people. Humans are expendable in the cause of Leftist ideology.
Quite right, nor does any appear to care about the slaves kept by travellers in the UK.
One poor sod in Cardiff was held for over 20 years with the BBC claiming he has held by farmers.
scibbling,
These bloody Welsh farmers !
Grant
Welsh farmers are sheep traders not slave traders !
😉
taffy,
You do not need to tell a Scot about sheep. They are afraid to walk the street and no wonder.
Mate, read the news – they still keep slaves in LONDON!!
BTW wired bras and the Grimsby match
If you set off a metal detector, then I guess the official might ask if it was your bra.
Beeboid thinks the CHOICES males and females make overall are the same
For A levels
For subject A, 90% of passes were girls
For subject B, 90% of passes were boys
Guess which Computing , and Performing Arts ?
For subject C, 76% of passes were girls
For subject B, 79% of passes were boys
Guess which Physics and English Literature ?
I had a very pretentious friend who used to get every visitor to her apartment to do a painting.
Every female did something swirly.
Every man did something with straight lines.
If you had just thrown the paint pots at the ‘canvas’ and called it ‘existentialism’ you would have ‘scored’.
😀
Ha!
9pm Channel 4 The State episode 3 includes bit about Yazidi sex
I thought pioneering BBC would have tackled such Islamic barbarism in it drama already.
Stew,
I thought that Yazidi sex is mainly about being raped ? Is that what Channel 4 are talking about ?
BBC WS “Pakistan’s Laptop Female Doctors

BBC 6 o’clock news. Reporting on the Great British Bake Off.
Advertising the fact Channel 4 poached the show
Reported by Amol Rajan. After explaining why it was poached, he comes out with this.
“This is what they want to create.” They conveniently miss out showing the 2016 winner, that white English middle class girl. They go straight on to show the 2015 winner Nadia. Couldn’t possibly be because she just happens to be a Muslim. Could it?.
davylars,
“Couldn’t possibly be because she just happens to be a Muslim. Could it?.” Perhaps, ‘…..fellow muslim…..’? All BBC employees must be muslims or at the least pledged to promote that cult.
The Great British Bake Off show is not news but a self-serving commercial – I do not want to pay for this on the news which is supposed to be for grown ups.
Fake News.
Useless News.
BBC News – how do I demand a refund?
I think we can understand people with viewpoints we abhor far better than the kind who just spout convenient truths but do something other. Hypocrisy is a far worse crime that so called, hate speech.
Sopel, exuberantly gleeful that President Trump is sending troops to Afghanistan. Immaturely unaware that circumstances in life can change rapidly requiring different thinking and action. Why oh why do the BBC employ these empty vessels devoid of any common sense?
Carwyn Jones, doesn’t trust Ministers in relation to Brexit. Well, we might all feel that way however, it has to be said that Mr Jones was clearly hoping to follow the EU gravy trail of his hero Neil Kinnock and Brexit has knocked that one in the head.
The problem with politics right now is that it cannot contend with the speed at which all things change. Personally, I think the Government ought to explore giving the people an ongoing say in things that affect them in between national elections. I favour the ‘thumbs-down’ approach of the Roman Empire as a vote to putting politicians down – immediately. So, thumbs down to Carwyn Jones. Can we add Sopel’s name to the list?
G
Carwyn Jones does not hold the same opinion on Brexit as the people of Wales.
Wales wants out and it wants it now.
He is the head of a giant QUANGO that should be abolished – it would save Wales millions of pounds.
The Assembly got in by the smallest margin in a second referendum held on devolution for Wales.
My friend works for the Met Police and he is dreading having to work the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend. He says they are subjected to terrible violence and abuse, which will no doubt be worse this year given the recent problems, wilfully stirred up by the Beeb. The criminality is obscene – it just should just be shut down.
Funny how they don’t need any Police when they celebrate Chinese New Year. It is almost as if all cultures are not equal.
Beeb,
” All cultures are not equal “. Tell that to the BBC. But they already know that. Black and muslim “cultures” are superior. As for the Chinese , they should all be deported . Bunch of troublemakers .
I can think of few events more unpleasant to attend and who receive such scant reporting when it comes to crime. Brushed over hurried stats following by stuffy white cops dancing with malt drinking revellers. Maybe if the police on duty were actually doing their job rather than playing community cohesion, people might feel a bit safer and the crime stats a little bit better.
Beeb website reports with relish on gender pay gap in Hollywood. They would never report on the gender pay gap in fashion modelling, how pretty girls are positively discriminated against for housing, service and receptionist jobs and how women receive much more lenient prison sentences. What about an article on the gender health gap and be scandal of men dying younger and receiving less funding for male only cancers?
Catching someone using racist language; ostensible female ‘oppression’; reporting on Islamic attacks without mentioning Islam. The perfect day in the office for a Beeb staffer.
Beeb,
What about the gender pay gap in the BBC ?
They never compare like with like – that’s what is so annoying about the ‘gender pay gap.’ If you were paying a man and a woman different rates to watch dishes for 40 hours a week it would be an issue. At the BBC you have men and women in all sorts of different roles, with different hours and relative market value. For all their virtue signalling, the Beeb realise how hard it is in reality to pay men and women the same when they are not doing the same jobs and the same amount of work. It is not fair on Chris Evans to have to come up with a whole show every day which gets 10 millions listeners to be paid the same as someone who just reads from a Teleprompter.
Lies, spin and deflection. They never play with a straight bat.
They just can’t comprehend that Tom Cruise commands a higher salary than Jennifer Lawrence because he’s more popular and people are MORE likely to comment on how they are going to see the new Tom Cruise film than they are the new Jennifer Lawrence film.
It’s not a question about your gender or your talent. It’s a simple question on your bankability and popularity.
Probably not the bBBC but the BPolice Force, but are they having a laugh?

Child sex attacker efit looks like they have used someone’s photo and stuck a beard etc on it. also looks afro-caribbean but is described as ‘Asian’. so could be from anywhere across half /three quarters of the world.
Surrey Police has released an e-fit of the suspect (Girl, 10, fights off Claygate woodland sex attacker) {bbc aug2017}
The reason why EU Governments including the UK, are quite happy to permit incoming and “home-grown” resident muslim terrorists to kill off their subjects without any reciprocal action: If you are working toward the complete replacement of a culture, would it not be acceptable to accelerate that process by allowing the re-placers to kill off as many as possible. Its all to do with, as they say, ‘the numbers game’.
If we were at the end of a World War e.g.: 1 or 2 one might understand the lack of will to go on and actually fight on but European governments seem to have lost it and seem utterly cowed into submission by a criminally insane media.

Canada getting worried about illegral immigration, oops I mean undocumented immigrants. But Justin, you said that refugees that the USA doesn’t want were welcome!
In light of the recent…er…unpleasantness at Calais between certain groups of recent arrivals, I think the French should see if Vlad will let them hire these chaps to ensure things calm down; they seem to have the requisite people skills.
Al Shubtil,
They were treating them like children. Ooops, but they are children
Al,
You have to hand it to the Ruskies. They do not piss about !
Nice. I like how they treat the immigrants like the annoying nuisance that they are.
If you want to be treated with respect, then enter the country through the correct channels and demonstrate with your first action (i.e. entering the country) that you intend to play by the rules and laws of this country that you are so desperate to be a part of.
If you don’t want to play by the rules, if your first interaction with us is one of illegality then with the greatest of respect – do one!
Triple lol

So it’s demeaning to accept donations from men dressed as women for laughs, but they can dress like this and look exactly as ridiculous if they are ‘transgender’. These institutions are making fools of all of us and it won’t end well.

Need to watch the BBC coverage of Trump
It’s also concerning that Ivanka Trump is a close friend of Abedin and Chelsea Clinton. Perhaps the BBC will mention this at some stage – not!
Come on Trump. Your supporters have to take so much flak, so much derision for backing your play that you really do need to come good on their support.
I have to say that as much as I think the US are wasting their time in Afghanistan, I can imagine that the howls would have been incredible if he’d cut and run. Even though it wasn’t his fight, just abandoning the cause is admitting that all the US deaths there would have been a complete waste of time – and they would have all been pinned on Trump.
Guess Afghanistan might become the testing ground for …
What is it about British “Asians” or Dark Young Men with “Islamic names” and rape?
Two stories from the BBC.
a) Confined to the BBC English News Section only:
Headline: “Gang raped woman in revenge on rivals: They abducted and raped a woman in revenge for the kidnap of an associate by a rival operation.” Notice how the BBC justify the rape as a revenge on rivals – rather than just leaving it as raping a woman headline.
Click the link and the BBC tells us … “Abdirahman Abukar, Abdirahman Kadir and Ibrahim Mohammed carried out a series of attacks when they went to Exeter to take over the heroin and cocaine market in the city … They were found guilty of rape, false imprisonment, kidnap and wounding with intent. Abukar and Kadir were jailed for 23 years and Mohammed for 15 years. … The charges related to three attacks carried out across Exeter by Abukar, 19, of Alum Rock Road, Birmingham, Kadir, 21, of no fixed address, and Mohammed, 18, from Birmingham.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-41014363
b) A story confined to the BBC UK news section only (story is one hour old). Headline: Girl fights off woodland sex attacker. Click on the story and they are looking for an “Asian” guy who tried to rape a 10 year old girl.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-41015851
Notice how these stories are being downplayed. They are not on the BBC homepage nor BBC news homepage – they are restricted to the English News and UK News Section respectively. Story b) seems like a potentially huge story (it is a manhunt) so the BBC should have this on their homepage and news homepage – but at the moment they are downplaying the story.
Contrast that with the Geoff Boycott non story (he is being called a racist for saying if he had blacked up his face he would have received a knighthood by now) – which the BBC immediately promoted like crazy – it was the second story on the BBC homepage, and also headlined on the BBC News homepage, UK and English News sections and the Sports page.
yet on the home page asian network why are hate crimes on the rise
lets even assume they are actually on the rise
could it be all the raping and murdering thats causing it????
just asking??
Threes hour into the story of the live manhunt for the “Asian” who attempted to rape a ten year old girl in Surrey (story b) – and the BBC have reduced its priority.
It had been the top story in the UK news section when it first appeared, but three hours later it is reduced to a minor position and easily overlooked. It has not been headlined on the BBC homepage, nor BBC News homepage nor English news section. Meanwhile an “Asian” who attempted to rape the ten year old girl is on the loose and free to rape other girls and young women. Due to its importance I thought the BBC would have to promote the story but instead they are downplaying it and hiding it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-41015851
In contrast the BBC have promoted the British Asian “hero of Barcelona” story onto the BBC homepage (and News homepage) – five days after the attack. The take home message the BBC are pushing is British Asian man Harry Athwal is a hero. The BBC are focusing more on him than the victims. In the video story we have an image of the “hero” while the dead child is pixelated out.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-41017567/how-brit-hero-helped-las-ramblas-victim
Five hours into the story of the live manhunt for the Asian who attempted to rape a ten year old girl in Claygate, Surrey – and the story has completely vanished from the UK News Section and now occupies a minor position on the English News section. This is a very rapid demotion of the story – others stories still occupy the same position.
There is someone still at large who tried to rape a girl – this is a “live story” – and the BBC are demoting it rapidly. It is a fecking disgrace.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-41015851
Found the story in http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england – but picture of suspect is missing and is only textual.
Girl fights off woodland sex attacker
5 hours ago
From the section Surrey
But eight hours ago this is showing the picture and is headline in ‘england’ section.
Schizophrenic ‘Muslim killer’ not guilty by reason of insanity {bbc aug2017}
– please note that the story is “Schizophrenic ‘Muslim killer’ not guilty by reason of insanity” – but no Muslims were killed in the attack. Muslim Attacker perhaps?
Eight hours into the story of the live manhunt for the Asian who attempted to rape a ten year old girl in Claygate, Surrey – and the story occupies the least significant spot on the BBC English News story. So by the next page update this story will be buried. The BBC can later claim it did not ignore the story. In the meantime there is yet another “Asian” child rapist on the loose.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england
Bobotc, I believe this hero of Barcelona was a Sikh.
Tommy Robinson has sent out a tweet about his because the media are trying to give out the impression that he was a roper.
BBC,
A one minute search on Google – http://www.census2011.co.in/data/village/37787-athwal-punjab.html
Nick hits twitter again, and seems tetchy.
I have just been watching a programme about partition in India/Pakistan. BBC2 9pm Tuesday. It was delivered by a woman (naturally) and a Muslim (naturally) although she didn’t have her head covered. But it was all Britain’s fault for dividing to rule and destroying the sub continent before they left apparently. Now I have no idea how correct she was in what she had to say but there was no acknowledgement that Britain had been fighting in Europe and that WWII had been taking place and probably the British government was quite busy on the home front. But this woman lives in the UK ‘her adopted country’ she said – I cannot understand why, if she dislikes the British as much as she said in the programme, why on earth she wants to live in Southall. And quite frankly, these days, I no longer believe anything I watch on the BBC because I know it will be from a particular viewpoint and there will be no balance.
Debs,
The one fact the Islamic cock suckers at the buggering British children won’t admit to , is that the UK kept to its world for Indian independence if they helped the mother country during WW2. The thing is once the Brits pulled out the Muslims did what they do best, murder, death kill
Actually, I think the woman was from a Sikh family who had to flee what became Pakistan. At the start of the program there was an inference that the British were to blame but as the story unfolded it became clear that was not entirely the case.
Sorry yes Roland you are right about Gurindra Chadra being a Sikh (as I have read on the DM review) – I missed the beginning of the programme and assumed Muslim from something she said – but the DM like me, picked up that she was constantly saying that the troubles on partition were all the fault of the British. At one point she said the British could have stopped rioting in Calcutta ‘just like that’ as she clicked her fingers without explaining how.
Debs,
Yes , by shooting a lot of Indians. Then people would complain about that. Whatever the British do is wrong in the eyes of our enemies.
LOL silly cow. The British did not have the military capacity to put down large-scale disorder in India without the use of native troops, which obviously would have exacerbated sectarianism. There were only a few thousand white soldiers and military police (plus mixed-race reservists and Home Guard) in the entire sub-continent. I wish these soft-marxist anglicised idiots would learn a bit of history.
Cranmer,
Exactly. Any history which they do know and don’t like gets re-written. Idiots.
By the way John Masters’ novel ‘Bowhani Junction’ (later made into a film with Stewart Granger and Ava Gardner) is a good non-PC account of those times. The chief character is a mixed-race anglo-Indian who has to choose where her loyalties lie during Partition.
Apart from the end of WWII in the run-up to the liberation of Burma and a possible assault on Japan, the entire European population never rose above 150,000. In other words, there are more Indians living in West London today than there were Europeans living in the entire Indian sub-continent.
A revealing episode is in Attenborough’s dreadful Gandhi movie. Gandhi wants to hold a rally; the British, fearing civil unrest, send two soldiers to intercept and they tell him “We don’t want your sort here”. The bespectacled fakir points at the crowd and replies “Well they clearly do (ho, ho, ho)”. Attenborough’s purpose here is to humiliate and point fun at the British, illustrating how ridiculous and out of touch they were, thinking two men could control a crowd of 20,000 or whatever it was. But Attenborough is 180 degrees wrong: the message is the exact opposite, as that is exactly what did go on and two officers were expected to and usually would defuse a situation with a quiet word. The occasions when Sikh policemen with lathis were needed were rare, the occasions when sepoys with Lee Enfields were needed vanishingly so. This changed somewhat in the run-up to independence and following the publication of the Government of India Act 1935, but the fact remains that India was generally ruled with the lightest of touches and largely on a co-operative basis. Considering that the Europeans were outnumbered 2000:1, it could not have been done on any other basis.
Ian, you are correct. Colonial administrators were often quite young men in their twenties who had to administer justice and keep order over huge tracts of land and large populations with a minimal force of arms. But the liberal media likes to perpetrate the idea (by concentrating on things like the Amritsar massacre, which were the exception, not the norm) that the British Empire was only kept going by brutal violence and mass suppression. This gets round the difficult problem (for lefties) that most of it (especially India) was set up and governed with the consent and collusion of the native population.
Cranmer – this reminds me of Orwell’s ‘Shooting an Elephant’ story in which (though it’s a long time since I read it) you get the feeling of young men posted abroad in colonial service and a bit out of their depth, trying to govern and keep the peace in a totally alien setting.
Did she mention Nehru?
According to a recent R4 programme he had some responsibility in the creation of E. Pakistan, now Bangladesh, and W. Pakistan and the resulting Hindu/Muslim ethnic cleansing and ‘problems’ (c. BBC).
Whenever the Beeb talk about India, and more importantly Pakistan, and how dreadful us Brits were do they ever cover off how one of those countries went on to commit one of the most disgusting acts of genocide EVER in 1971.
So desperate to be free from the tyrannical yoke of Britain but when treated like adults go ahead and commit genocide. But no, the Beeb only like to concern themselves with the Amritsar massacre rather than the Bangladeshi genocide.
So watching the news and the bBC at 10 informs me that the UK is to blame for the Sunni / shai conflict in Yemen, it told me that Trump is wrong to continue to support Afghanistan, where apprantly the taliban are the real rulers. I was informed that CH4 are going to fail with GBBO and in order to explain that, they aired Sue Perkins congratulating a former winner. What to guess who? They then show cased a CH4 program about ISIS , they then asked a British family about their TV habits, all Muslim, now they are waxing lyrical,about the female rugby team.
And the cock sucking arse bandits at the bBC tell me they aren’t biased.
You missed out the story of the proposed HS3 line, where most people interviewed were, shall we say, not of European heritage.
Language warning, but great to see another fack yeww i’m Millwall.
The psychology at play is interesting the coppers faces,what they were thinking, the trappy muzzie ”its our country now” in your face shite,
Then theres the guy, past his sell-by, and there were alot of antifa, so why didnt they attack him ?.
He has a bottle in his left hand you never see, just a glimpse of its neck, he is also a doorman, so are his m8s just behind the camera ?.
The union Jack flying in the background as his chins him.
Superb !
OBE for that man!
I’m surprised that the policemen standing right behind did nothing when he told Abdul to go back where he came from. Of course, he’d have said he meant Abdul’s home but if Abdul thought it was racist, would that not in these enlightened times be enough to have him whisked away?
Mind you, if Abdul wanted to make a complaint he’d have had to unmask himself.
They were busy Roland.
Never too busy for a hate crime!
I grew up near Claygate. I learnt that girls are never safe in wooded areas when peculiar men are luking in the shadows. That, after all, is the meaning of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. I once imagined that I lived in a brighter world where my daughters would be less troubled, and more able to deal with, the peculiar men. I now put those imaginings down to youthful naievity. I can now see that the powers that be have been busily cultivating the undergrowth of a wider spreading, and even darker, malevolence. What is the point of having female children in Britain? Why on earth would any intelligent, informed, human being living in the UK choose to bring female children into a globalised patch of land where Sharia law will be the order of their days on this earth?
Pillar in a circle – Sharia can be stopped simply by showing what it is. The good news is that there are other sets of laws (Sharia just means Law) and ways of living that work really well and don’t demand that you pray to keep them working five times a day or fear accidental bacon tasting in your burger.
But at the moment I’m betting on Halal being Islam’s soft underbelly, just as tax evasion stopped Al Capone.
– Halal promotes a Muslim World view (just the word is enough)
– Halal creates jobs for Muslims only (positive employment discrimination as a Muslim must slaughter the animal)
– Halal creates jobs for the Muslim religion (positive religious discrimination as a Muslim must recite from the Koran whilst slitting an animal’s throat whilst it can still see the world)
– Halal cannot be mixed with pork (animal discrimination because pig is unacceptable)
– Halal fuels the Islamic economy (biasedbbc post on sukuk)
– Halal is Sharia compliant (makes Islamic Sharia acceptable for food at least, then what?)
Halal is a soft underbelly to Islam in the modern world:
Option 1: Stop Halal – You become a Muslim apostate
Option 2: Keep Halal – a true Muslim with barbaric methods of slaughter, a hatred of pigs with positive employment and religious discrimination complete with pig discrimination.
Markymark, you may be right. One thing the British really get worked up about is cruelty to animals. I live in a remote,quite conservative part of the countryside and even here, a lot of the locals get their knickers in a twist over the local fox hunt. Another flashpoint could be restrictions on dogs in certain parts of towns, which I can easily see happening.
Her crime? Playing with her rescue dog, Bubu, and posting a video of it online. In early July, Malaysia’s federal religious authority publicly denounced a Muslim woman on Facebook, urging her to halt her “deviant” actions and repent.
…
The post attracted negative attention from other Malaysian Facebook users, leading the Islamic Development (development of hatred for dogs?) Department (Jakim) to issue a strongly worded statement posted on the director-general’s Facebook page.
Othman Mustapha, the director-general of Jakim, said touching dogs on purpose and without reason was forbidden by Islam and that Nurhanizah had caused distress among the Muslim community. (is this like a hate incident? Hurting the whole community? Did they survey the whole community?)

“Prince Harry’s struggle with Princess Diana’s last moments
In an upcoming documentary, he discusses the actions of photographers who were chasing his mother before her car crashed.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-41020001/prince-harry-s-struggle-with-princess-diana-s-last-moments
Its no wonder that Trump does not like the press and media.
Remembering that day vividly, everyone thought those photographic vultures seriously crossed the line. Ok they may not have actually caused her death per se , but how any human being could fail to help an accident victim regardless of their ID, and instead taking f……..g photographs, needs locking up. I remember seeing those photographers being ferried away in transit vans, and wondered how they could live with themselves. I wonder where they are now, and how they feel now that its all being publicised again.
Sometimes the public are no better, slowing down on a motorway to gawp at a traffic accident in the oncoming carriageway.
BBC news homepage
a1) BBC pushing to classify Yemenis as refugees and to get them into Europe and Britain (this is a Saudi Arabian problem – they are bombing the shit out of Yemen).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41013873
a2) BBC publishing images of Yemeni babies and infants saying hundreds of thousands of Yemeni children will die and millions of Yemenis will die inferring there is an urgent need for the UK and its citizens to do something about it.
Note the numbers quoted are pure invention. Also the use of ill babies and infants for pure propaganda purposes – while British and European dead due to Islamic Outrage are pixelated out.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-middle-east-41016774/how-children-are-starving-in-yemen-s-war
b) BBC reporting on an effort to get more migrants into Europe and Britain. The argument being is that these migrants must be great entrepreneurs because they have demonstrated risk taking and survival skills in having got here. The organisation promoting this initiative is run by followers of Islam.

c) A BBC special report exploring Islamic history under Mughal ruled India
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/the_soul_of_the_rose
Surely the BBC is truly a broadcaster for the Islamic caliphate. It never stops, day in day out.
I agree, the bBBC has been infiltrated root and branch.
Re Yemen, it pops up periodically to divert attention or when there is a lull in news, probably under directive from the UN. I have been suspicious of the reports as, though distressing, the children are emaciated but the adults look normal, and the hospitals look modern and well equipped. I’m afraid the UN has shot itself in the foot… It has used propaganda too much and I am saturated. I think the countries are too, and if they try to start relocating Yemenis I will be extremely pissed off.
Don’t forget Yemen was formerly the British Protectorate of Aden until 1967. So any problems there are probably all our fault – atone, atone!
imo the bbc are traitorous liars who peddle deception and manipulate “news” for their own agenda…increasingly by ignoring anything that does not suit their purposes. They delude themselves that people won’t look elsewhere whereas daily people are realising their game and going elsewhere for information..”is that true or did you see/hear it on the bbc?”. Spread the word to all you know ..just a heads up so people can open their eyes for themselves and send them the link to this website..the worm is turning I believe. They are becoming more blatant..more desperate..more predictable. A sick organisation from top to bottom funded with taxpayers’ hard earned cash.
Modest good news from the Med –

Ok until the traffickers up their bribe to the so-called, “Libyan Coastguard”.
G, I think we’re seeing a lull at the moment because the Italians (possibly because the Mafia may not be making enough money from it now) have clamped down on the migrant boats. I suspect a new route will emerge, possibly via Spain/Gibraltar – let’s face it if thousands of migrants pitch up on British territory in Gib the BBC will have a field day.
Rather interesting that the Maltese refused to let the Defend Europe ship take on water but a flotilla of ‘little ships’ manned by Maltese sailors went out to supply them.
It is has been reported that the Mafia cut is only €45 a head, although it is a “pile ’em high sell ’em cheap business”. Perhaps ‘the usual suspects’ will come up with some more money:
“The Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) was founded in 2014 by entrepreneurs Christopher and Regina Catrambone. MOAS operates the ships the Topaz Responder and the Phoenix in the migrant fleet. Mr. Catrambone was listed as a major donor to Hillary Clinton, giving over $416,000 to her presidential campaign bid in 2016. Another major supporter of MOAS is avaaz.org, who donated €500,000 to MOAS’ “search and rescue operations.” Avaaz.org was founded by Moveon.org, an American organization owned by George Soros. Avaaz.org acts as the European branch for Moveon.org.”
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-09/ngo-fleet-bussing-migrants-eu-has-ties-george-soros-hillary-clinton-donors
I’d have gone out to supply them.
After I’d put something in the water.
Emilio Mola a Nationalist general during the Spanish Civil War told journalists in 1936 when his
troops were to attack Madrid t, that four columns of his troops were to advance on Madrid whilst
a fifth column of supporters inside the city would support him and undermine the Republican
government from within.
As the fabric of our society in the UK and Europe is attacked on all four quarters . The Islamic terrorists,
the Liberal fascism ,the extreme left . And now the return of anti semitism which is linked to the previous
three. The fifth column is the BBC!!
I notice more Women in Black by the day in certain parts of Londonistan.
Looks like one huge funeral, which is an apt metaphor for the death of our once Great Britain.
And with growing numbers comes growing power and influence.
Next: Sharia Law, then crackdown on any criticism / questioning of the Religion of War and Rape.

Charlie,
Funny, I was going to post the other day that “It would just take one person to complain about this site and the police would close it down “. Look what happened to the Mogginator’s facebook page .
Not BBC but relevant to CM’s comment:
I was looking at a film about the Central Line the other day and I remarked to Mrs. CharmB that there was not one black-clad hidden female to be seen either travellinh or in outdoor scenes of the station exteriors. As this was made in 2001 for railway fans this was not deliberate policy, just the way things were, so recently.
I have been browsing various websites including Breibart, New Observer, Politico etc and I came across this post in a comment section followed by 2 responses. Is this true? If so, then it is clear why so many muslim leaders in this country rarely speak out about terrorist atrocities. You learn something new every day. I expect many of you here will know all this but I thought I’d share it for those who may not know – like me.
1. Muslims have their six lies that are tenets of Islam. It is perfectly reasonably not to trust Muslims based on the fact that lying is categorized for Muslim’s convenience.
Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
Kitman: deceit by omission.
Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.
2. Do I read your post correctly? These muslims have at least SIX words that mean very specific uses of lies and deceit? I knew these guys were despicable liars, but had no idea, until now, the specific forms of deceit they employ to obfuscate the truth of who they are. Now I know the feeling of mistrust for these “moderate” muslims who speak on tv are never, under any circumstances, to be listened to and definitely not to be trusted – EVER. Thank you.
3. Did you know there are TWO korans? The Meccan one, which they use to “prove” they are peaceful and tolerant (the one they show to non- muslim useful idiots – and the Medinan one, written when their paedophile psychopathic prophet was thrown out of Mecca – which is the one all muslims must follow, which contains the hatred of Jews and others.
Soap,
Point 1 . applies equally to the BBC. Maybe that is one reason they worship Islam .
re Soapbox’s post at 09.58 today..
In the words of Len Barry “it’s as easy as 1-2-3”! and #2 (kitman)..deceit by omission is al-beeb’s new fave toy-ploy! Tawriya (#3).. deceit by ambiguity is so early-Summer!
credits to John Madara, David White, Leonard Borisoff, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland –
“1-2-3, oh, that’s how elementary it’s gonna be

And you can do it, too, it’s easy (it’s so easy)

One and one are two (one and one are two)
I know you love me and oh,oh, how I love you (how I love you)
Don’t try to fight it ’cause it’s easy (it’s so easy)

C’mon, let’s fall in love, it’s easy (1-2-3)
[Fade]
Oh, that’s how elementary”
Indeed al-beebi and your pet rop-roject!..very apt ..except! – your plot is not going to be easy as 1-2-3..plenty folk waking up to your tricks and lies and those of the ones you worship and support daily! Gonna be some fun sometime soon I’ll wager..hope I live to see it!
Muslim spokespersons employ a peculiar style of deceptive propaganda that so far has caught the media off-guard. It takes advantage of a common assumption among those who have only been exposed to other religions – the assumption that the statements of religious leaders can be taken at face value because religious leaders want people to understand their religion.
…
Thus a Muslim religious leader should not be seen in the same way as most religious leaders. He should be viewed as a combination of politician and religious leader. When addressing a non-Muslim audience, he should not be viewed as a typical missionary, but as an astute politician addressing a hostile audience who won’t like all of his policies – he will tell you what you want to hear.
But some Muslims are quite honest about their intentions, we keep thinking they are mad. Is it the madman who is mad or the one not listening …
“… they may say one thing to you in front of CNN, but I can assure you behind your backs in every Masjid* (Mosque) and Community Centre. They are standing with their Muslim brothers and sisters saying ‘we hope the Americans and British are pushed out of countries and we can implement the Sharia’. This is an Islamic obligation for us to support our brothers around the world. Our land is one. Our War is one. Our Peace is one. Our honour is one.” – Anjem Choudary
“..we will dominate this country (UK) brother and implement the beauty and perfection of the Sharia justice of Islam.” – Anjem Choudary
1&2) Yes Muslims are granted by Allah the right to lie in non-Islamic societies. I had heard of “Taqiyya” but not the other terms.
3) There is only one Koran – it has 114 chapters of varying length. The early chapters were more “inclusive” when Mohammad was able to persuade some of the Arab Jews and Christians to convert to Islam and when he needed their support. Later on when he no longer needed their help he became a lot harsher. These are the Medinan chapters. He ended up slaughtering the Medinan Jews. He said Allah had decreed every Muslim man was allowed up to four (muslim) wives. The Mohammad took a fancy to the wife of his son in law. And hey presto he received a revelation from Allah to say that as he was the prophet he was allowed to take a fifth wife …
BBC,
Funny that none of this appears on the BBC. I wonder why ?
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) questions to ministers include UKIP’s former leader, Lord Pearson of Rannoch, asking whether the government, as part of their strategy against Islamist terrorism, will encourage United Kingdom Muslim leaders to re-examine the Muslim tenets of Taqiyya and Al Hijra. {bbc Week ahead – jan2017}
It was debated (not with any Muslim Imams or Anjem Choudary) : Taqiyya and Al Hijra – Question- in the House of Lords at 2:53 pm on 24th January 2017 .{theyworkforyou.com}
Note that the discussion ends with Baroness Uddin using the word …. Islamophobic! This is the only time Uddin really speaks in the discussion .
Baroness Uddin Non-affiliated
“My Lords, given that the meaning of the two concepts has been well laid out before us by the noble Lord, Lord Lamont, and their relationship to one another, I wonder whether the intention of the Question is to put British Muslims on notice. Therefore, does the Minister accept that terrorism has no home in any religion and that, in his Question, the noble Lord, Lord Pearson, is either being naive or it is a wilful act of incitement to Islamophobic prejudice with the presumed intent to insult Islam?”
… end of discussion … the power of a word …
I should have written adopted son – not son in law.
Story from PC-land
Hospital boss refuses charity donation from bedpushers, cos she thinks they were dressed as sexualised nurses and she thinks that perpetuates a bad stereotype.
She earns £192K as head of Staffordshire Trust
MeteroBubble’s Nick Ferrari understood that
Yet when someone put the point to him, that i they were genuine trans there is no way the hospital would have refused the donation, he appeared not to understand the point (that trans have special victim status)
\\The trust that runs Ludlow hospital, turned down £2,500 because of the “insulting” and “outdated” behaviour.
….. Its chief executive, Jan Ditheridge says “it isn’t okay to portray healthcare professionals in this way”//

Have just posted this on the ‘#stopfundinghate Thread on B-BBC because the TODAY Programme (BBC R4 6-9am) this morning was quite remarkable.
– – – – – – –
” Am just about to post on the main Thread but this little segment demonstrates the difficulties that news organisations, including the BBC, face. The BBC, however, are more than adequately resourced to deal with it, not least because they invariably have correspondents who can reach the scene.
There does appear to be an attempt to equivocate by finding an equivalent ‘hero’ to set against the ‘villains’ in these terrorist attacks.
A dangerous game.
One day there may be none. What do you do then? Cheat a little? Cheat a lot? ”
– – – – – – –
The BBC News as well as part of the TODAY Programme carried news of President Donald Trump’s speech at a political meeting. It concerned false news being presented by sections of the media. FalseNews and FakeNews appeared to me to be scattered throughout the programme, whether from Kenya (shortly before 7am) or in the UK later with a reference to an already broadcast TV programme about the Royal Family and Princes William & Harry and a new programme about to be aired on TV. The BBC made no mention – or apology – for the FalseNews/FakeNews they had broadcast after the first programme had been aired. They just took a little dig, not a big one, at the other broadcaster.
They were very happy back then, around the time of the first Diana programme, to repeat the assertion of Charles Spencer that the two Princes had been forced to walk behind their mother’s coffin at the State funeral. Indeed, they had encouraged him to do so on air, in my hearing, on Radio 4.
One of the problems that the BBC faces is that the Internet provides all sorts of search and cross-checking possibilities for the layperson. Also they have access to archived media, broadcast and print. They can also share memories and cross-check for any faulty recall all around the world and on Forums like this one. That is our strength.
It is currently a weakness for the BBC.
The BBC, by becoming an organisation with ‘an agenda’, risks increasingly being ‘found out’ again and again and again. The only antidote for the BBC is to abandon this ‘agenda’, the dangerous game they are currently playing, and instead go for, strive for, absolute integrity in news reporting. In those circumstances, when they occasionally miss the mark, they are likely to be forgiven.
But to keep manipulating news and comment to suit an agenda, their agenda, then the critical voices will rise from an occasional comment to a murmur, then to a babble and on to shouts for removal. President Trump has pointed the finger at them in a clear and straightforward way, now, on two separate occasions.
The BBC really needs to start on a wholesale reform right now, if not yesterday. It is becoming urgent.
I would say it was too late for BBC reform. They have been given time and enough events to force changes. At every opportunity they have carried on as before knowing the money will keep on flowing in from threat of prison to the population. I only recently found out that I help pay someone £2.3m who I don’t listen to, have no interest in and they (Chris Evans) us the BBC to promote their own businesses during fund raising events (CarFest). The BBC knew this payment revelation was coming so why no independent Panorama Programme to reveal the extent of it all – paying salaries to paedophiles, give safe space to paedophiles, promoting Labour ideals but not following them (gender pay), presenters using twitter to spread their own views on politics and possibly breaking the BBC guidelines (Lineker/Brexit/6M twitter followers), replacing video footage with photos to hide a nasty refugee and not correcting it (Gavin Hewitt/Sep2015) and then have the audacity to tell everyone how to spot Fake or False News.
The BBC reformed by the same people who run it now?
Have OFCOM decided on a colour for the carpet and curtains yet?
At time of writing 9 of the 13 members of the Ofcom Content Board responsible for overseeing the BBC’s impartiality are ex-BBC employees. This is untenable. The arrangement is comparable to the hypothetical scenario of suing someone for libel only to arrive at the court to find that most of the members of the jury are ex-employees of the accused. {ofcom.org.uk} *sign*

.. but more fun is reading the comments in a link from above document … Impartiality is in our genes (BBC) – Helen Boaden – Sep2010
“I always think that impartiality is in our DNA – it’s part of the BBC’s genetic make-up.
Anyone who thinks differently doesn’t really understand (you are wrong by default, clever wording) how the organisation works and how seriously we take issues around balance and impartiality.”
Marky,
It is a joke , isn’t it. The BBC are untouchable and they know it.
As for Boaden, she is a big liar and she knows it.
MM, you could be right. It would take a really perceptive, strong & dynamic DG to carry reform. They would face internal opposition and so would need their own backing, perhaps from Government. We are not going to get this from Lord Hall.
Mark Thompson was a reformer but made little change.
Grant, dunno about big liar but I seem to recall she has a big pension at the taxpayer expense. The figure that was hinted at was £400,000pa!

According to reports on Going Postal, the BBC has appointed a replacement for Andrew Neil, when he leaves the Sunday Politics programme.
And which hard hitting conservative street fighter has the Corporation chosen to fill Neil’s combative shoes? Step forward Sarah Smith, daughter of John Smith, former leader of the Labour Party.
The prosecution rests its case, M’Lud.
Not Winston Smith then?
GC,
Sarah Smith ? Total lightweight.
No suggestion of, jobs for the boys, of course.
gax,
I would have thought that Carol Thatcher would be a good choice .
Next bloke says she is more like anti-SNP
A twitter thread on the news has 49 comments so far
Stew,
Sad day, but I guess they had to get rid of Andrew.
Will he take the whole show with him ?
Stew,
Well, Andrew Neil is a pretty shrewd businessman. There may be some intellectual property law issues. I have no idea. But he will be much missed.
Just how many Red Princes do the BBC employ? In addition to Smith , I’m aware that Kuenssberg is the daughter of a Labour donor; Ben Wright, son of former long time Labour MP Tony and Stephen Sackur surely is an offspring of similarly Lurchlike Stephen Timms.

David Starkey should be on the BBC programmes … in my opinion.
“Free speech, and freedom of thought, is the foundation of what we are. (Western World)” – David Starkey @ 0:28
“Religion has got no privilege whatever.” – David Starkey @ 1:28
“… most of you are political junkies (panel members on Question Time). Most of the country isn’t.” – David Starkey @ 2:35
I wonder how many people were interviewed for the job and how many were external applicants ? Daily Politics RIP.
PS oops ! I should have checked. He will still present the Daily Politics. But he can enjoy a sunday morning lie – in !
It does make you wonder just how many disregard the bbc. Hard to judge though because we can’t really vote with our £145 and a vote or referendum on bbc funding is verboten. I listen to the World Service quite a bit and they do have some interesting stuff on there. Even the foreign political pieces, with the huge exception of the US, don’t carry quite the rabid bias but the bbc does continue with it’s agenda for the World. Someone should tell them we are a small island off the coast of Europe and NOT China.
RE: Taqiyya.
My friend worked for the benefits office at Birmingham. He said the amount of fraud carried out by a particular community was mind-boggling; from the day they turned 18 every conceivable money claimed, often for phantom people; housing benefit paid to sub-letting family members; every trick in the book. It must cost us billions. This will never be looked into, whilst a comment about blacking up by a former cricketer is headline news.
We often hear how hard it is for certain communities to integrate; thus the Police must go through all manner of training and special efforts are made to recruit to various professions so that their make up reflects the community. They do not have a welfare state in Pakistan but they seem to have no problems adapting to it here. Integration is easy if you want to.
Remember this:
Bank of Credit and Commerce International
UK banks, which people like to sneer at, are squeaky clean by comparison.
The Bank (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) was registered in Luxembourg with head offices in Karachi and London.
Luxembourg + Jean Claude Juncker!
Beeb Brother, alas there is little that can be done about this. Any attempts to claw back over-generous benefits is political suicide, as we saw with the ‘bedroom tax’. The only thing I can do personally is to arrange my tax affairs so that as little as possible goes to the government, and then do some volunteering or pay money to social welfare charities where I know the money is not going to wasters (eg, I do voluntary work for a local elderly peoples’ charity so I know I am not giving money to keep some CEO in a job).
Cranmer,
Yes, I never give money to big charities. I would remove all tax advantages from charities and benefactors. There is racketeering on both sides.
Personally, my voluntary work ( sounding like Harry and Paul here ! ) and what spare cash I have goes to helping poor people in Gambia, where there is no welfare state or social security. I am not Bob Geldof, thank God, but , when I see people there in distress and I can help, I do my best. It is only human. No song and dance.
Grant, “sounding like Harry and Paul here !”
They have been bouncing around in my mind for the last couple of days. Can’t think why. Except there is a Bank Holiday coming up.
Probably thanks to a clip someone put up on here parodying Dragons Den and featuring Harry Enfield.
The bBBC doesn’t seem to have found the space to report this £1,000,000 fraud allegedly committed by seven London local authority benefits staff.
Funny, they don’t look the type.
Back in the late 80’s I worked briefly for Haringey council sorting out Housing Benefits claims (awful job btw), there were lots of rumours of staff being involved in that sort of malarkey way back then.
God knows how much worse it is now, I despair of our welfare system – the whole thing needs to be handed over to the private sector in my opinion. Like the infinite money sink of the NHS (and of course the BBC), we see very little value from having it run by state leftists, for state leftists and especially their unsackable, unaccountable managers.
My dead mother was headhunted, having been ‘early retired’ as a Practice Manager – due to her suspicions of a doctor/listed drug abuse – later confirmed by court action, in the 1990s by a computer company. Said company was involved in computerising patients’ records.
On a visit to a S London practice she noticed that one council flat had a ‘rather large’ number of ‘residents’ registered to it. The practice, allegedly, took no further action – ‘nothing to see here’.
There are no women, only 71 genders (so far) {telegraph jun2014}.
A train carriage for each of the 71 gender pronouns?
MetroBubble problem, cos trains aren’t a realistic mode of transport for most people in this country.
A typical journey begins 10 miles from the nearest train station.
So it’s cheaper and more convenient to go all the way by car.
I’ve just checked the cost of a one way Anytime ticket from Birmingham to Euston and it’s £88.00 for a journey time of 1 hour and 13 minutes! Bloody insane.
I know you can get cheaper Advance deals but if somebody needs to travel at short notice it’s a total rip-off.
Share a car three ways! £136 Single / 3 = £45 each!
Up to 3 passengers plus 3 suitcases (20kg max) or 4 passengers plus hand luggage. Any more luggage than this will require a larger vehicle. £136

Once we have segregated carriages, next is … Egyptian Islamic authority sets up fatwa kiosk in Cairo metro
“Travellers passing through al-Shohada station are being offered chance to get advice from religious scholars inside booth”
And more – attempts to ban, none Left approved, sites from PayPal, Facebook etc.. Jihadi Watch is included because of it’s ‘anti Muslim hate speech’.
Someone’s suing a multinational NGO for racketeering
(Eco-mafia Greenpeace, WWF and Pew spend £2bn etc.. yet shout “big oil” at peope who dare to challenge them)
WUWT story
I wonder whether Animal Farm or 1984 are taught anymore in English Literature or if the Blob have succeeded in eliminating their existence in the classroom ?
Is this a joke FFS!

Dyst,
The longest suicide note in history. Western Civilisation , RIP.
It is not the end yet – send the following to 10 Downing Street, London or your local MP
“The Strange Death of Europe: Douglas Murray {amazon}”
“Seeing Things as They Are: Selected Journalism and Other Writings: George Orwell” {amazon}.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” – George Orwell
Marky,
I am just about to sit down and continue reading Douglas Murray now. Brilliant book. Great intellectual. And you can be damn sure that it will be banned.
the book just arrived in the post, paid £12.91 delivered for hardcocver version
“The migration crisis through which Europe is going at the moment, has been made infinitely worse, at absolutely every step of the way by our inability to understand the importance of free speech. Absolutely every step of that journey. It’s my belief, that when the speech goes wrong, the ideas go wrong, and when the ideas go wrong the politics goes wrong. And our politics has gone so very wrong in recent years because the speech has gone wrong, because the ideas has gone wrong. let me give you a couple of examples …”

Douglas Murray is asking the hard, grown up questions which no one else will even touch. Enjoy “The Strange Death of Europe: Douglas Murray {amazon}”
