I don’t post here much anymore on account of the fact that I barely watch or listen to any BBC product these days. However, I saw the first five minutes of the BB1 six o’clock news last night, the headline item being that net immigration is less hundreds of thousands per annum now compared to many hundreds of thousand per year over the last two decades. Big deal. (Any chance of getting an expert from Migration Watch on BBC news? Don’t be silly).
Anyway, some goon reporter was sent to a bus station in London and found a Romanian heading back to his homeland due to racism caused by…DA-DA.. Brexit, heavily prompted by our fearless reporter of course. With flawless subtlety the same reporter then went to a chicken farm in Oxfordshire where the famer was grumbling that he couldn’t find enough cheap labour so instead of expanding he was reducing his business (who did that sort of work pre 2004 anyway?). With the Dutch and others ballsing up their egg production recently and the depreciation of the pound one would have thought that the beeb could have found a good news story in the chicken farming community? Rhetorical question, naturally. Click.
Same here Jack – I have no TV and generally listen to the radio. However R4 of late (if it was possible) has become increasingly Iirritating. Today I switched it on twice and turned it off both times fairly quickly. I think they were interviewing an “asylum seeker” and later on what sounded like some other some other “dusky gentleman” Both were going on about all the tears they or their families had shed. I could not be bothered to even listen to the rest of the interview to hear the context of what they were saying. However I would lay money that it was yet another whitey guilt trip which these days seems to be their stock in trade.
Whilst I have no reason to doubt the validity of these peoples stories – The BBC really has become the father of lies. and misrepresentation. They know as well as we do that at least 80% of asylum seekers are in fact economic migrants – yet they never really focus on this instead they constantly hose us down with hard luck stories from sniffling individuals in order to give the impression that all of these people are genuine asylum cases.
Even assuming that these people have lost their homes – I do not think that we have an obligation to permanently house everyone who has upset their current Government. I would have thought house them until things have changed for the better then send them home. And only in the very rarest of cases should we give them citizenship.
The BBC really has become the channel for emotional incontinence. It probably thinks it is following the trend – but in truth I think it is setting it just as much.

Whilst I’m on about President Hyperthermia has anybody seen the bbC mention this: Emmanuel Macron called ‘arrogant’ and ‘inexperienced’ by Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo in worker spat
President Emmanuel Macron of France risked creating an East-West rift in Europe on Friday after warning that Poland was heading for “the margins” of the bloc. Poland hit back that the French premier was “arrogant”, inexperienced, and had no right to push it around. The spat came after after Warsaw categorically rejected Mr Macron’s push to overhaul the so-called “posted workers” directive – a controversial EU rule enabling companies to send temporary workers from low-wage countries to richer ones without paying local social charges. Speaking in the Bulgarian coastal city of Varna, Mr Macron said: “Poland today is not a country that can show Europe the way, it’s a country that has decided to go against European interests in many areas.” “Europe was built on public freedoms that Poland is infringing today,” he added. “The country is placing itself on the margins of Europe’s future history,” he added, saying it had “isolated itself”. Mr Macron had already prompted Polish ire recently by warning it could not treat the EU like a “supermarket”.
“The country is placing itself on the margins of Europe’s future history”
Monsieur Macron… perhaps Poland does not like the ‘makeup’ of Europe’s future history, with its internal collapse stemming from degeneracy, corruption, civilisation disconfidence and ethnic cleansing-levels of immigration and Islamification. Stop tarting yourself in the mirror, read Jean Raspail’s ‘Camp of the Saints’ and handover the reigns to Marine Le Pen. Maybe then your children – sorry, you’re not going to have any children in the circumstances, I mean those of ordinary Frenchmen and women – might have a future.
Can anyone tell me what Macron has actually done since he became President ? Apart from insult Poland. Seems to me that he is a French Obama. Totally useless.
IR – well said.
When he’s done with the rouge and mascara perhaps Macron will look at some demographics and realise that (Western) Europe will have no future history except as a dark ages land of barbarians (as a lot of it was 1500 yrs ago). It would be a nice retort if the Polish prime minister, and the heads of the Visegrad nations told him so.
Al beeb news ( normally avoid it ) a non news item about a lung clinic in Rotherham. Treats ex miners as we as smokers with health problems. Very sympathetic . Too sympathetic to the smokers.
If you smoke I might offend you but I hate smokers . I hate inhaling other people’s smoke . If they want to die from smoking that fine for them . But don’t damage me . If al beeb wanted to be biased about something make it anti smoking . It avoids blaming Islam for anything but its attitude to many things – like smoking – needs attention
Perhaps I have committed a hate crime now but my health counts for more

Newcastle United fans have been warned of matchday delays as stadium security has been stepped up in the wake of recent terror attacks.
Supporters have been urged not to bring bags into St James’ Park and anyone that does will undergo a full search – causing further delays..
It would appear that those right wing supremacists are infiltrating football stadiums.
I have a better idea though…. perhaps if they just did profiling before the supporters entered, I am sure they would figure out the likely perpetrators…

MM – I recall reading that the only two places outside western Europe and the Anglosphere, which had comparable free speech laws were Hong Kong and Japan; the both of which had developed those by having been run by Britain and America respectively, although HK no longer.
But never mind eh? The Carnival’s coming, yippee, the carnival of noise, crime, drugs, knifings, vandalism and violence.

A new study of antisemitism in Europe has found that the country with the lowest rate of antisemitism, despite having a relatively large Jewish population, is… Russia.
The study, by the Oslo-based Center for Studies of the Holocaust and the University of Oslo, looked at France, Britain, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Russia. The author, Johannes Due Enstad, observed that Russia does not treat Muslims’ transgressions with near impunity as Western Europe does. The relatively few antisemitic acts that do occur in Russia are committed mainly by the far right. That’s why the numbers are low.
– Melanie Phillips on Friday, August 25, 2017
That’s very interesting. I wonder what has happened. Oh, and will the BBC do any investigation? Last one first, probably not.
Not so long ago, anti-Semitism was rife in Russia and led, of course, to a million plus Jews leaving there to go to Israel. This begs a couple of questions: has Russia reformed is one? The other is: has the rest of the world got worse as far as anti-Semitism is concerned?

“If they are born here, regardless of where their parents or grandparents hail from, then they are as English as you;”
That reminds me of an argument a few years ago with a colleague from Lanarkshire (I think it was) who used the well worn approach: “people born in England are as English as you are”.
Unfortunately for him, I had seen him coming. I asked him if the Queen Mother was English or Scottish. The answer was, Scottish of course, her family was Scottish. I pointed out that she was born in London, making her English unless, of course, we accepted his argument and made Indian families Indian.
I was born in Hong Kong, so that makes me Chinese. When I was a little boy , my late father used to tell me that I would have to do National Service in the Chinese Army.
My grandmother was born in India. As were her parents. And their parents. And their parents before them. So, nearly 150 years in India. Yet, when partition came it was time to leave, and nobody on any side considered her to be ‘Indian’ for a moment.
Odd that. But maybe a useful precedent.

I’m baffled for many reasons:

2) I thought they were all doctors and engineers, eager to repay their host country for our generosity.
3) I can’t find this story on beebistan website, even after drilling down to London.
