    R4 MoL “I see no reason for the idea that less school children can swim today than in the past”

    Lack of imagination.
    Some enrichers have a culture that doesn’t fit with swimming.

    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.

      Still these days I suppose candles and Teddies are the only game in town

      BBC the home of a good cry¬!

      FFS!

      Charlie – I am always touched by how “grateful” many of these asylum seekers appear to be when given shelter in the West – It always gives me a lovely warm feeling in my tummy when I see them making themselves at home!

    The left are quite vocal on how much the Queens costs (She actually makes money and hands it over to the treasury, for which she is handed back a sum to pay her way (Staff/food/utilities etc) The child rapists at the bBC keep on interviewing those who feel we should get rid of the Royal Family and replace them with an elected figurehead. (who spend money and don’t make any, or even have any decorum) Today its been revealed that Emmanuel Macron (President Hyperthermia ) has spent around £8000 a month on make-up since he was elected in May. Instead of expressing any form of outrage the bBC , the child rapists think its quite funny:
    Does President Macron’s make-up bill make you blush?

    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.

        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

      Oh a damoscene conversion. Isn’t it ironic that journalist royalty like snow, dimbley, peston and countless other beeboids are or feel disconnected from ‘ ordinary people’? The fucking cheek of it. I grew up in a council flat. In a London borough which has always been socialist. Never listening to the poll tax payers – the same mindset as al Beeb . Social care and the NHS here is shit. We are overwhelmed by non English speakers and their kids.
      And it takes a fucking fire for a champagne socialist like snow to realise he is disconnected. John – have a puff on your sad weed and go back to your pals at Glasto.

      And these people form opinion for the weak minded and judge others. I am using ‘f’ words here because they reflect the verbal violence I feel because of the damage they have done to Blighty. Roll on an ‘extreme’ right wing government after the revolution eh? De ranting now.

    BBC Look North reporting on new security measures for Newcastle United at St Jame’s park this evening.
    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…

    Evening Standard carry the story of a jobless illegal immigrant from Egypt (claimed to be Syrian) who murdered a carer in Hyde Park yesterday.

    I’m baffled for many reasons:

    1) I thought all migrants were genuine refugees, like the beebistan tells us.

    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.

      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.

        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.

      Didn’t speak to me for weeks.
