The BBC were chuntering on about the British company ‘Worldpay’ being sold to foreign investors and the loss of an important company as a ‘British asset’.

Funny how all those who talk this way are quite happy to see Britain, the whole country, sold out to the EU, our sovereignty gone and all control handed over to unelected Eurocrats who definitely do not have British interests at the forefront of their minds.

Naturally, despite the sale making over £9 billion [originally bought for a mere £2 billion], the BBC managed to blame Brexit for the sale…apparently the drop in the pound making our companies vulnerable to takeover ‘cheaply’.

It didin’t take long to realise the above video was the usual BBC ‘opinion piece’ that oddly matches the BBC’s own thinking…this time on climate change and the need for the West to commit suicide.

In essence what we have is a man proposing communism…a command economy where ‘someone’ decides what job you have, how much you get paid and what and how much you can buy in the shops.  Guess he’s not a student of history nor of common sense.  Communism only works at the point of a gun.

Labour went round the media studios trying to find someone mug enough to give airtime to their latest piece of political spin doctoring as they tell us maternity services are in crisis…maternity centres having to turn away patients and not enough beds….the BBC willingly took on the task of informing the nation of this disaster…naturally the problem is too few midwives and not enough money.

Curiously not a single mention was made of the fact that the government has put enormous resources into maternity services, recruiting many more midwives.  Nor was there any mention of the real cause of the problem…the vast and rapid birthrate rise due to immigration….and just remember it was the BBC that was telling us that immigrants would not need to use the NHS as they were so young and fit….they just forgot the fertile….and of course let’s not forget who opened the door to all these migrants…so many of them now also being trafficked as slaves working in all sectors of commerce not just as prostitutes.  This would not have happened to anywhere near the same scale if the borders to the UK and the EU were not flung open to the world.

Is Classical music too posh, too white and too irrelevant? ???? @chichinwanoku is guest editing from 1-2.

A while ago the BBC was giving publicity to a black classical musician who suggested that classical music was too ‘posh, white and irrelevant’….a racist statement if ever there was one but the BBC didn’t mind hyping that idea just as it laughs along with the phrase ‘male, pale and stale’ in a way that it never, ever would if someone were to say the same sort of thing about Black people or culture….say something like ‘black, slack and on crack’...or Rap music…’ghetto, black and irrelevant.’

Why did the chlorinated chicken cross the Atlantic?  So that it could get its eggs sprayed with insecticide in the EU.  ha ha ha.

700,000 Euro eggs contaminated with insectide have made their way to Britain.  This is not a problem as I heard on R4 today.  700,000 is a drop in the ocean and anyway we shouldn’t be worried as, well, they’re in the food chain…so er no problem…despite the insecticide causing damage to people’s kidneys, liver and thyroid glands if eaten in large quantities.

Funny how chlorinated chicken is portrayed as a toxic devil’s food when chlorine is in our drinking water and in swimming pools and no food standard agency has found any danger from it and yet a poisonous insecticide is nothing to worry about.

Oh hang on…the chlorinated chicken comes from outside the EU and the toxic eggs from the EU.  All becomes clear.

Blair was on R4 today having a  quick spin through his life and works.  Amusingly introduced as a Prime Minister who had ‘energetic policies at home and abroad’.   We got little new…except one pro-Brexit ‘bombshell’…ignored by the BBC of course…..

A ‘powerful media destroyed Kinnock’…hmm…no, he was a useless windbag.  This apparently was one thing that encouraged Blair to keep an iron grip on his party and its utterances because of the feral Press…never mind he had most of the feral Press in his pocket….the Sun and the Times were absolutely on board for all his reign…and only the Iraq War came between the BBC and Blair bromance.

Blair tells us that when he invaded Iraq he hadn’t realised that Iran might poke their nose in or that Al Qaeda might get involved…..have to say if that were true it would be astonishing.  Any fool would know Iran would be stirring the pot and that Al Qaeda had already expressed an interest in toppling Saddam themselves [when they were rebuffed in this venture by the Saudis back in the 1990’s Bin Laden then turned his ire on the Americans]…and they knew AQ had toppled the Twin Towers in order to get the US involved in a war…so pretty well impossible not to know these two players were going to want to join in.

Blair says it was a ‘gap of understanding’…the same dumb ‘gap of understanding’ that the supposedly brilliant financial wizard, Gordon Brown, had when  he admitted, after deregulating all the banks, that he hadn’t realised how interconnected and complex the banking system was as it crashed all around him.  Beyond belief.

Blair then comes up with the real point of this post…his comments on the Euro.   He admits that the EU is a political project but one that expresses itself in economic outcomes and that he was really quite sceptical about joining the Euro [lol].

The astonishing admission [especially in light of his recent pro-EU propaganda] is that he wouldn’t want to join the Euro if the economics weren’t right…that would be dangerous…the economics weren’t right when he was PM and they aren’t right now.   The problem, as we all know, is that with so many countries in the club they all have different speed economies that just don’t match and don’t join up, there is no convergence.  This is dangerous.

So joining the Euro, the EU, would be dangerous.  You might think such a huge and significant point would be headline news on the BBC considering the importance and controversial nature of Brexit and that so many Remainers clearly need some reassurance that leaving the EU is a good thing.  The BBC certainly gave Blair lots of airtime, indeed the headline story on the web, when he made his recent statement on behalf of the EU.  No such headlines, or any mention at all so far, about his very negative comment about the worth of the EU.

The BBC likes to concentrate on the economics of Brexit even though that wasn’t the point of the vote, but when the real costs of being in the EU are highlighted they suddenly go mute.  Following news bulletins after the interview programme quoted some of Blair’s words but missed the most significant.  Wonder why.

Here you go, a new Open Thread. I see the BBC equates President Trump with Kim Jung Un and chooses to present Trump as the real menace to peace. Sickening.

The BBC brings us the odd interview with Brexit supporters though far more with Remainers, but more insidious is the relentless undercurrent of pro-EU propaganda that is slipped into programming under the guise of other subjects.  Guests interviewed on say their latest book or record or some non-directly EU related subject will often volunteer, or failing that be asked to talk about, their opinion on the EU and/or Brexit.  They may not mention Brexit but tell us how wonderful the EU is, how great it is to be able to travel so freely and have so much cultural interchange, knowing we will get the message.  BBC presenters always love this and even when Brexit is damned in no uncertain terms they never bother to intervene and qualify what is being said.  The presenters themselves very often use the same tricks slipping in sly references to the EU that make it appear as if we just can’t live without it and life would be infinitely worse without it.

Roger Harrabin is one such person.  Having corrupted the BBC’s climate change programming turning it into propaganda he has turned his dubious talents towards the EU.

This morning on the Today show (08:52) we were told that no-one understands how EU legislation has brought down prices of products, increased efficiency and increased innovation…as if none of that could have happened in Britain if it had stood alone…or in co-operation with other sovereign states…such as the US.  Oddly he didn’t mention Grenfell Tower which had to be clad to meet EU regulations on climate change, to reduce CO2 emissions, increase thermal efficiency and lower costs.

A few days earlier he was banging the drum for one of his green Guardian mates, Monbiot, and making a case for ‘rewilding’ Britain…essentially the Highland Clearances all over again as George and his liberal cosmopolitian elites want to clear the hill farmers and their sheep from the Scottish and Welsh hills in order to have a rural playground for themselves.  The land should be put back to some idyllic golden age using ‘EU’ subsidies.

Farmers are getting too many subsidies in money that ‘comes from the EU’…curious how that money ‘comes from the EU’ but when the Leave camp said we would get the infamous £350m back from the EU the BBC set about destroying that argument telling us it wasn’t EU money as it was money that came back to us anyway being spent on projects in the UK…hmmm…like farm subsidies?  So it’s not EU money…or is it?  Depends of course what the BBC is trying to sell us.

Following the plug for rewilding we had a bit of alarmism that farming would collapse, farmers out of jobs and the countryside and environment destroyed if we Brexited.

We even had a programme about the rise of the beard in current fashion…now how uncontroversial could that be?  The BBC however can always find an angle…men who grow beards are looking back to a safe past in current times of trouble and uncertainty [code for Brexit…and ‘Trump’]…they even managed to lever in ‘Islam’ into the discussion…not that Muslims suddenly growing beards was a sign of anything.  They managed to find a Muslim who said he was just too lazy to shave or just liked a beard…very little to do with religion.  Now that’s just untrue….why does the BBC not mention that after 9/11 Muslims suddenly became more devout and as part of that began growing out their beards as well as dressing the apart…including women in headscarves and veils?

Even in death you can be a soldier for the EU as Martin Roth, the former head of London’s Victoria & Albert museum, was recruited, posthumously, for the cause, as we were told by Today that he was very upset at the rising ‘nationalism’ and was keen on cultural collaboration overcoming geopolitical concerns.  Oddly one of those cultural collaborations of the V&A is with China…hardly the EU….just how on earth did the V&A manage to organise such a thing outside the safe confines of the EU?  And of course there is nothing nationalist about China.

How will we survive let alone thrive out in the cold?

Here you go, a new Open Thread to start a fresh week of BBC bias!

Who knew the sinister and malignant Vince Cable was in Zulu.

To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Over the centuries the British have saved Europe from the ravages of Napoleon, the Prussians, Hitler and his Nazis, and the Soviet tank armies poised to storm across Europe.  Liberty, freedom of speech and democracy are not an accident of history, they came at the point of a bayonet with some guts behind it.  The likes of Vince Cable betray all who went before to defend those values with their lives.  He breaks The Faith, extinguishes that Torch that was handed on. A man who fought in World War II, who had his leg blown off by a German tank shell, who was then shot as he was medevaced from the battlefield on a stretcher…is Cable saying he is not entitled to vote because he’s ‘old’?

It is a remarkable thing that someone so illiberal and so undemocratic as Vince Cable should be leader, by dint that no one else wanted the job, of the Liberal Democratic party.  A man who thinks only people who think like him should be allowed to vote.  A man who is fully prepared to tell the grandest of lies, to bend the truth out of all recognition, in order to gull people into voting his way.  A man whose use of violent, intemperate language that seeks to demonise and scapegoat a whole class of voters is nothing short of ‘hate speech’ designed to whip up anger, discontent and a backlash against that group.  The LibDems, if they were wise, should immediately remove him from the leadership role.  The police should certainly step in and investigate Cable for his reckless incitement and his wild claims against Brexit voters, especially in light of the massive intimidation, bullying and threats of violence that Leave voters and politicians are forced to suffer and endure from Remain activists…unrecognised by the BBC of course.

It will be interesting to see how the BBC reacts to Cable’s madness as he rages about McCarthyism, Brexit thought-crime and Brexit Jihadis and the Old ‘shafting the young’.  As far as I remember that was only on BBC premises by a BBC employee.

Cable seems to want you to believe that Brexit was only voted for by the over 65’s, there may be a growing number of older people but I hadn’t realised there were 17.4 million over 65.  And even if that had been true that’s what’s called Democracy Vincent.  You cannot pick and choose those who you want to allow to vote.

So far the BBC has not treated us to one of its interpretations or analyses of his ramblings….just this abridged collection of his worst anti-Brexit comments as is the BBC way so that we get the full-on concentrated bile of his words so that we can fully understand the true horror and folly of Brexit.  No doubt the BBC will be smoothing things out for him tomorrow on the Today show…’maybe he’s a bit overstating things but essentially he’s right isn’t he children?’  The same ploy the BBC used to downplay Project fear’s maddest and wildest alarmism.

Battle on Brexiteers….the odds are stacked against you, the game rigged, the goal-posts constantly moved…but eventually they will have to salute you and your victory.
