Questions that no sane person would ever think of asking:
Women’s hour
Princess Diana and her impact on black women
We reflect on the 20th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. What impact did she have on black women here and in America?
Hmmm listening to a programme on bbc WS about (The Great Saviour and New Mohammed Ali!) Colin Kaperneck.
He’s standing up for black rights and has given $2 million to black groups (glad he can afford it).
A awful lot seem cock a hoop that the US has gone back to the 1960s or is it the 1860s. Slavery, discrimination and the KKK are lynching like there’s no tomorrow. Police ‘executions are rife and Satan is President. (Apparently!)
Oh well, it finds work for some and passes the time for others.
Priceless JimS!
The reflex lefty feminist idiots at the BBC alone could give themselves such a dilemma.
Planet Earth simply mocks them, yet stumps us for their fetid droolings on cue.
Single mum, shagging around and well away from her kids-lots of bling and dreadful music taste…apart from that?
As Ned Flanders said of Lisa Simpson-“an answer to a question that nobody is asking”.
This probably covers 90% of all BBC News these days…and this one is going in the scrapbook.
Next up…”Lady Di-did she vote Remain from her Althorpe casket?”…
JimS you weren’t winding us up about the Princess Diana black woman thing.
Standard equality/empathy test is to reverse the roles
So would BBC run with “Princess Diana and her impact on WHITE MEN” ?
…course not
BBC Woman’s Hour is saying your reaction to Princess Diana depends upon your skin colour
…em that’s RACISM
“Princess Diane was a voluntary member of that Dynasty. She didn’t have to be in it, she joined it. She didn’t behave very well in it – she was a spoilt kid, she didn’t realise there was more to it than being the fair tale princess. She rebelled against the idea that you have to sacrifice anything for duty or tradition. An idea her over gloomy husband overdid … ”
The Truth About Princess Diana by Christopher Hitchens {youtube}
// A repeat – sorry. {biasedbbc}
Marky – In effect The Snowflake Princess.
I never ever will understand the fuss about Princess Di. If she hadn’t married Charles no-one much would have ever heard of her.
Marky,
The Hitch giving it both barrels. ” She was a borderline airhead “. LOL. No-one could ever accuse him of populism.

Sorry, Gaxvil. I’ve accidentally reported your comment. I was trying to click onto newer comments when the page jumped and I hit the “report comment” . Bloody laptop!
Andy S,
Yesterday I did what I think is a first on this site. I reported my own comment by mistake !

Didn’t see that on Nadiya Towelheads Great British Food show
Shhhhhhhhhhh – Dont tell Amber!
I see that Billy Bragg is getting criticism for squauking ona about climate change as he flies hither and thither, promoting his afternoon on Burl Ives lap, or a lift shared with Peter Buck from R.E.M.
Lord Bragg of Wassail says he`s innocent-it`s all those people showing up to his arenas with their 200 mile trips from Daytona to Youngstown that are giving him such a seemingly-massive carbon footprint. Don`t blame him…it`s those bobbysoxers in ther SUVs who insist on showing up to touch the hem of his turned-up grundies that are our problem.
Not him.
Well, I`ve seen the attendances at Billys bashes…safe to say that it may not be the problem that some think it is.
In fact, given how shit Billy is-he`s certainly doing HIS bit to keep us all at home.
If not for the unions and the Woody Guthrie Pensioners Forum-Billy would not be leaving Burton Bradstocks snug bar. I see him as one of Ted Heaths tuneless pandas who the Chinese saddled us with-sterile, useless and a waste of good bamboo.
Chris that is funny – Couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket old Billy Bragg
Billy Bragg,
Where does he get all his money ? It can’t be CD sales or concerts , surely ?
Apparently worth £5m I couldn’t tell you one song or thing he has ever done
Lock,
It is a mystery . I mean, he is not exactly Paul Simon or Stevie Wonder !
Grant
Not Paul Simon or Stevie Wonder, damn right
GWF,
He can’t even sing and his guitar playing is crap. The lyrics are so banal. Ain’t no Neil Young, that’s for sure !
“Billy Bragg is another suicidal liberal, he has firmly supported mass immigration and ethnic enrichment; when he became rich enough, he moved as far from non-Whites as he could get — the coast of Dorset.” Tobias Langdon.
Yes – he lives in a beautiful old cottage right by the sea so he can get back to his peasant roots I guess.
Al – in my “lefty” days I certainly thought Billy was the “real deal” Turns out (unlike some of us ex lefties) He does not possess one shred of humility and has absolutely no idea of what a total and abject hypocrite he truly has become..
Wearing scruffy clothes, preaching to us about revolution and migration then going back to your pile in West Dorset doesn’t make you a revolutionary it just makes you another “wanker” with feet of clay.
(apologies for my language – but I do feel a bit guilt about supporting twats like this in the past )
With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
– St. Swithin’s Day by Billy Bragg
Yep, even he admitted it – he’s a wanker.
Billy Bragg lives in a £1.5 million property in Burton Bradstock. A picture, right, from one of the anonymous letters, which was sent to about 30 of the musician’s neighbours {telegraph jan2011}
The letters describe Bragg as being anti-British and brand him a hypocrite for living a celebrity lifestyle despite his socialist views.
The incident happened on R4 Any Qns ? last night
The question was
BTW BIlly have a lot of refugees livin in his mansion with him ?
I lasted nearly 30 seconds of that crap.
Grant,
he is not exactly Paul Simon or Stevie Wonder !
True. The opening lines of his song A New England (a hit for Kirsty MacColl, maybe that’s where his money comes from) are nicked from Leaves That Are Green by Simon & Garfunkel. Bragg has admitted this, although he could hardly do otherwise.
Trick,
I didn’t know that . I guess Simon and Garfunkel didn’t sue for plagierism as they don’t exactly need the money. And deservedly so !
I must admit that often I feel that there is an inevitability to the eventual demise of the UK as I knew it. The lunacy of the enthusiasm of the liberal left for multiculturalism and eventual Islamification , seems unstoppable. But every so often there is a ray of sunshine and you feel that perhaps it isn’t inevitable after all. In this case I was reading The Salisbury Review and there was an article comparing the violent multi culty Nottinghill Carnival with the more staid and traditional Southend Carnival. The Salisbury Review is a serious publication which I recommend to anyone who is opposed to the left’s take over of the cultural life and politics of our country. Its contributors are serious people . That people such as these are appalled at what is happening to our country gives me hope that resistance to the crazy policies of the liberal left is building . Perhaps it will be possible to reverse the trend and no the domination of the left and avoid being forced to live under the unforgiving crescent rather than the tolerant cross.
Southend-on-Sea Carnival boasts one of the largest processions in Europe its sixty garish floats attracting about 20,000 people. Strangely there’s never any mention of it on the news. For the BBC it (Southend-on-Sea Carnival) doesn’t exist, no more significant than the average English summer fete going on somewhere in white middle England.
For the press it’s not news worthy as no one who goes there is expected to die a violent death by stabbing or kicks to the head. It doesn’t require a massive police presence and no officer of the law is routinely attacked with bricks, broken bottles, acid or knives. But chiefly it gets no attention because almost all the participants and certainly the organising committee are white. As such they have no obvious identity, if any identity at all and tick no socially required boxes.
The Notting Hill Carnival (2 million attending) in contrast, extolled every year by the BBC as the ‘biggest Carnival in Europe,’ receives attention on the national news just for its existence, not for the twenty eight policemen who were attacked with bottles, blood and acidic substances. The news broadcasts didn’t mention it, but there were 313 arrests mostly relating to drugs and offensive weapons, and fourteen for sexual offences against women. The number of knives confiscated was slightly down on last year but the attacks on police were so bad that Met Police Federation Chairman, Ken Marsh MBE did feel obliged to comment to the press:
‘What other event would be allowed to carry on regardless with so many police colleagues under attack?
Carnival of Crime {salisburyreview.com/ sep2017}
Former Kensington MP Victoria Borick told LBC radio organisers need to tell revellers “don’t bring your knives, don’t bring your guns, don’t bring your acid this year”. {bbc.co.uk aug2017}
– Victoria Borick implies that every other year, before, it was ok to bring your knives, guns and acid to Notting Hill Carnival? You have to be told this?
The police surely have the right to ask for the carnival to end on the undeniable grounds that it is not conducive to public order.
I’m sure that they do but the senior officers fear being labelled racist much more than they do about losing control at the Carnival. Anyway saddick would never allow it to be called off and I think it is the mayor that the Met answers to.
“How many drugs did you lot seize in the run up to Glastonbury or we only doing tweets like this for black events?” grime artist Stormzy asked.
I wasn’t aware that Glastonbury was a whites only event, or the Notting Hill Carnival for that matter?

Total and unashamed Virtue Signalling by May. And the same words in the past by Cameron.
Do Muslims care about her grovelling and cringe worthy words? No.
The message is meant for those of her fellow elite who share and inhabit the same London-Bubble.
Theresa May is on the way of David Cameron wins UK Islamophobe of the Year award {5pillarsuk mar2016}
The Prime Minister David Cameron has been voted Islamophobe of the Year (2016) at the annual Islamophobia Awards ceremony organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC).
Cameron was chosen by public vote and the prize was awarded to him at a gala dinner in London last night. However, the Prime Minister didn’t turn up to receive it.
The awards aim to subvert Islamophobia through comedy while simultaneously addressing a serious and significant issue in a creative manner.
Cameron won the award after he announced a £20m fund in January to teach Muslim women in the UK to speak English in order to “tackle segregation” and help them “resist the lure of extremism.”
IHRC ( a charity registered in the UK number 1106120 ) Aims & Objectives – In the name of Allah, The-Source-Of-Mercy, The-Especially-Merciful. To promote a new social & international order, based on truth, justice, righteousness & generosity, rather than selfish interest. To demand virtue & oppose wrongdoing in the exercise of power (from whatever base that power derives – e.g. political, judicial, media, economic, military, personal, etc.).
To demand virtue! To demand virtue!
MM,
“…..e.g. political, judicial, media, economic, military, personal etc…”
But not, ‘religious’?
FFS! – thats meant to be the PRIME MINISTER! – Watch it with the sound off – Truly a study in dhimmiitude. So much head bobbing and wide eyed expectation. If she tries hard enough maybe Sadiq or Naz will pop around and give her a benediction.
Definatly the supplicant.
bARRRRF!
“London chose me as their mayor, not just an ethnic minority, not just a religious minority, but a Londoner of Islamic faith.” – Sadiq Khan, {cnn.com sep2016}
– Very odd that Sadiq Khan’s London Manifesto 2016 does not mention voting for him because of his Islamic Faith? I might be wrong – but could not find a sentence saying ‘Vote for me because I believe in Allah’.
The only thing missing from this truly heartfelt greeting was that she didnt broadcast it from Buckingham Palace and didnt start it off with “My husband and I ”
Never mind Theresa – maybe next year..
‘… broadcast it (May’s Eid speech) from Buckingham Palace’ whilst holding the gates open for Imam’s to enter.
BBC has over 50% of the news coverage in the UK and yet all we learn about is how to put makeup on and dress like a women.
When does the BBC start the campaign to get women to dress like men? Equality and all that.
At this special time, British Muslims will gather together with family, friends and neighbours to pray (to the one and only God Allah), to exchange gifts (Muslim to Muslim generally) and to share meals. (Halal meat that can only be slaughter by a Muslim who will read from the Koran and keeping the animal conscious so they can see the life slip away when slicing the animals throat)

Eid al-Adha 2017: Theresa May’s message {youtube 31Aug2017}
I send my warmest wishes to Muslims
around the world and here in the United
Kingdom who were celebrating Eid al-adha
this week and I congratulate everyone
who has performed the Hajj this year at
this special time British Muslims will
gather together with family friends and
neighbors to pray to exchange gifts and
to share meals amidst these celebrations
they will also remember those in need by
extending a hand of friendship and
compassion to those less fortunate than
themselves that generosity towards
others is shown all year round by
British Muslims through charitable
giving and service in the community
indeed British Muslims and people of
Muslim origin make a huge contribution
to all walks of life in the United
Kingdom they help to enrich the
successful multiracial multi-faith
democracy that is 21st century Britain
as we celebrate this happy occasion here
in the United Kingdom we will also keep
in our thoughts and prayers those around
the world who will be marking this
festival in places of conflict and
insecurity this festival’s commemoration
of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice
for his faith is a reminder of the
shared roots of the world’s great
Abrahamic faiths and in their warm
spirit of neighborliness and compassion
the Eid celebrations demonstrate common
values in which we can all share so Eid
Mubarak I hope that this will be a
wonderful occasion for everyone who is taking part
English (auto-generated)
On current trends, I look forward to the Queens Speech on, …….on………..on………’Christmas Day’, there I’ve said it islamaphobe as I undoubtedly am, or could that be a problem for some foreigners, who shall not be mentioned, but who will be happy to accommodate the host nations favourite period………..for now at least….
They fear them, it is not respect, it is fear, i think they see it as a lottery of who will get nuked first.
Manx,
Fear can be the only reason why Treezer would prostrate herself in front of that evil religion. Muslims must be laughing their heads off when they read that piece. She is ignorant garbage.
Silly bitch.
Lets hope she congratulates the Hindus at Diwali , The Jews at Passover, In fact why stop there maybe she should congratulate the Rastas on Groundation Day (21st April) (for the more ignorant among you this was the day Haile Selassie made his only visit to Jamaica.) . Of course if she has done these things then I apologise.
I think this all shows that we have a Prime Minister who has truly lost it. She has no substance or common sense and is more at home with the left wing/multy kulty liberal agenda than any “Conservative” values. She is desperately trying to please the unpleasable. And in my opinion this is nothing more than a demonstration of her weakness.
I wonder whether somewhere in her past she is related to Neville Chamberlain?
And why not Satanists on Halloween or the Solstices etc.?
At least Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in 1938 had the unintended consequence of giving Britain twelve months to re-arm and produce enough Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes to face war with Germany. If he had declared war over Czechoslovakia in 1938 the result could have been very different. I cannot for the life of me see any benefit for this country from Theresa May’s blundering and prevarications. With her and her government government endorsing, nay, CELEBRATING the barbaric animal cruelty of Eid she proves she is a quisling of the first order and unfit for office.
Andy S,
She is ignorant and useless.
It’s no use having a wimp for a leader – we’ve seen a lot of it in recent times and look where we are FFS.
Oh dear, BBC enforces positive religious discrimination on BBC crew, paid for by TV License Payers under threat of prison …
GBBO winner @BegumNadiya will travel to Mecca with an all-Muslim television crew to film a new BBC1 documentary http://thetim.es/2pNt5Rb {twitter may2017}
One Twitter Response: So much for fitting in with the rest of us then
– Just as Halal is positive employment,religious and animal discrimination it would seem that the BBC is unwilling to break some taboos such as Islam. Surely as a social experiment the BBC, rather than telling girls they need to be boys and boys that they think incorrectly about girls (BBC:Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?), the BBC should be testing the boundaries of Islam at the gates of Mecca with the UKs multicultural success with Nadiya Hussain … Muslim visits an only Muslim event to extol the virtues Muslims being tolerant?
Whilst in Mecca can Nadiya Hussain ask the 2 Million followers what are their thoughts on ….
a. If a man who writes a piece of fiction, should he have a death contract put on his life?
b. If a man who is homosexual should he be killed?
c. If a man who draws a cartoon should he be killed?
d. Do you think you should be given a job based solely on your religion?
e. Do you think you should discriminate against animals?
f. Do you think we should support and pay for Sharia to operate in the UK?
a. If no, then please write to Iran and remove current death sentence for Salman Rushdie. (Fiction)
b. If no, then please ask for it to be stopped in Majority Muslim Countries. (Homosexuals)
c. If no, then please ask this to be stopped in Majority Muslim Countries. (Cartoons)
d. If no, then remove the restriction that only Muslims can recite from the Koran and slaughter the animals for Halal food. (Positive Employment Discrimination)
e. If no, then start using pork products in your baking. (Animal Discrimination)
f. Halal food, bought, enforces the Sharia laws as it conforms to Sharia.
… many thanks to the BBC who are pushing boundaries of religion, gender and equality with Nadiya Hussain and clearing up these issues whilst on your paid for Hajj (Muslim only) experience.
The reminds me : Do you ever get into a careful discussion with LibMob ..where they go and delete the whole discussion.
That’s happened to me a few times.
The other week on the Radio4 Facebook discussion when Charlottesville was kicking off , the LibMob were using it as an excuse to bash Trump ..’How dare he allude to their being bad people on both sides”
Well, I had just been her e where someone had posted the Antifas PinkHelmets video, which quickly got me to a Twitter picture of them tooled up with masks and baseball bats at Charlottesville, so i posted that ?
Which resulted in them bizarrely shouting that I must be with the rightwing fascists.
They then bumble on saying that those Rightwing should just be banned from expressing views.
..Doh what an open goal, I was then able to point out that we don’t have thoughtcrime and people thinking they are superior to other groups is different from ACTION
and that I wouldn’t ban any hypothetical religion that divided the world into Special group, People of the book and a third low class group.
nor saying that “a woman’s voice in court is only worth half a mans” it’s ACTION that’s the problem.
That looked like check-mate to me
.. And then when I came back 24 hours later to see how they’d replied .. they’d deleted the whole thread.
I’ve hit the ‘Report comment’ to make you feel at home StewGreen!
German Turks are so unhappy with the Bundestag’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide that they have formed their own political party to represent the interests of Muslims in Germany. {gatesofvienna aug2017}
A new party will be on the ballot in the German national elections on September 24, with the promising name ADD, “Allianz Deutscher Demokraten” (“Alliance of German Democrats”).
Wait — Is that Turkish President Erdogan on a German election poster? (for ADD)
The AD Democrats also champion to grant families more political weight by giving the parents the right to vote for their underage children. (why stop at reducing the voting age to 16? How many kids do you have?)
Erdogan starting to over reach into Europe? ‘Democracy is like a train, he said; you get off once you have reached your destination. ‘{economist feb2016}. Choo! Choo! You’ve reached your destination …. Erdogan’s World View.
Radio 4 website used to have chat rooms, some years back. You wouldn’t believe the squealing to the moderators if anyone put up facts arguing against any of the lefty shibboleths. The moderators would actually ban the poor sod who put up the info, despite it being correct.
Been there.
Marky,
Perhaps airhead Nadiya could explain the special rules for women on the Haj so that the Lefty dhimmis can learn something. She had better make sure she sticks to them otherwise she could get into big trouble !
If a male in Ihram touches his wife with desire, or kisses her, then he would be obliged to pay the Fidyah (penalty) – and the same would go for women. This is the opinion of the Hanabilah.
More so, the male is between two situations after touching his wife: either he releases some fluid or not. If he does not release anything, then the penalty for him is that he must slaughter a sheep. If he does release something, then he must slaughter a camel.
It is desirable that a woman should not crowd with the men to kiss the black stone. Instead, she should wave to it with her hand just like the person who cannot reach it.
Big mistake on my part. I watched the BBCnews channel and it really had me stunned. Not even trying to hide the anti President Trump bile. It is just not acceptable for an organisation funded by the taxes of the nation to behave as it does any more.
The floods in Houston and the BBC. They cannot but help to give some space to the President’s efforts but they then concentrate on the plight of the ‘undocumented’ that is BBc speak for illegal immigrants. The President is to blame of course and this is the real tragedy not the deaths and the displacement of the many.
it is the same with Brexit. This country is booming and they know it. Exports are rising and we do not need the Eu they need us but in BBC speak we are near destitution ( that is unless you are part of the BBC elite)
The whole bunch of them are a joke and it is time to get rid.
The bBC is currently screaming the sky is going to fall in regards the NHS (like it does every f-ing winter)
The worst is yet to come for the NHS – hospital chiefs
I don’t know about you, but I feel that the NHS isn’t fit for purpose, that it is only interested in itself and that reform can’t come soon enough and then I came across this story at the DT: (Well worth a read)
Stroke patient warned she would not recover by NHS doctors is back to health after treatment in South Africa
I suppose the NHS answer to the above story is…Lessons will be learnt
But the lazy, incompetent “hospital chiefs ” will still get their massive pay packets. I have had to deal with NHS managers quite a lot over the last 3 years. They are of the lowest quality I have ever come across in any walk of life.
Pounce:
No. That is not the NHS rely. The NHS reply is “Lessons HAVE BEEN learned” and just carry on as they used to.
The Left have a stranglehold on public discourse(what can and can’t be said) because they long ago captured the media industry. Similarly with education, they now ensure children and young adults only have one worldview – that of socialism. The Health Service is a huge old-fashioned unionised public sector employer that costs untold billions and returns (at best) terrible value for money.
State Education, the NHS and the BBC are akin to the father, son and holy ghost for a large proportion of Brits. Even a ‘conservative’ government is afraid to question their existence, but for me they are the very institutions that we must dismantle to begin undoing the damage of the last 40+ years.
The group, which represents NHS chief executives, is calling for between £200m and £350m to be made available immediately.
Gosh, £350m. That amounts to 9 days of the UK’s Foreign ‘Aid’ budget. You know, the one that was ‘ring fenced’ by Cameron to ensure that folks in Pakistan, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh etc get to learn about transgender toilets and global warming. And useless liberals from here get to ride around in white jeeps and lord it over the natives before returning to air-conditioned hotels and the local whores.
Austerity, anyone?
imaynotalwaysloveyou. Et Al.
Strangle the media that propagates this idealism…………………………….
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/end-the-bbc-licence-fee
Yet the BBC seem to miss that the sky IS falling in on the NHS in Wales. Mrs Loather and I both had letters from our local GP practice a few weeks ago telling us that the last two GPs there were retiring and leaving respectively at the end of August and no replacements could be found “despite national advertising”. There was no mention of “What will happen next”, so presumably there is no plan and we have no GPs. Which is nice…
Does anybody know why the BBC don’t report this stuff? One final thing: NHS Wales is the responsibility of the devolved Welsh Assembly Government, which is under the control of Welsh Labour.
I don’t know if anybody picked up on this, if they have, then please ignore:
Casualties from cluster munitions doubled in 2016
The number of casualties caused by cluster munitions in 2016 was more than double that recorded the previous year, a disarmament group says. A new report by the Cluster Munition Coalition found 971 people were killed or injured globally last year, with 860 of them in Syria and 38 in Yemen. Almost all were civilians and most were caught up in cluster munition attacks.
So the death toll from the use of Cluster bombs last year has risen by 100% and the worse two areas were Syria and Yemen. Syria had 88% of the death toll last year and Yemen in second place with 4% of the total figure. Hang on Yemen with 38 Deaths came in as the second highest death toll for Cluster bombs? I was of the impressions that thousands have died and it was all down to British weapons Why here’s one such bBC report on the very subject:
Yemen human rights ‘breaches staggering’
The Ministry of Defence is “tracking” 252 allegations of humanitarian law violations by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, the BBC has learned. The UN estimates that up to 10,000 people have died in the country since war began in March 2015. The MoD declined to say if British-supplied arms were involved in any of the allegations.
Funny how when the facts come out, it proves the ethical latte brigade have been (As usual) making things up. But whilst they scream and shout about the nasty British they not only remain silent on the 380 deaths (they know of) which have been caused by Russian cluster munitions inside Syria, they actually take their word for it without a second thought:
“Russia has not explicitly denied any involvement in cluster munition attacks in Syria, but has said the munitions are being used in accordance with international law and not indiscriminately.”
Really, bBC?
Here’s a little video of one such cluster bomb attack inside Syria from July last year (Note the homes in the foreground and the people walking about just after the attack)
Sorry just noticed, I quoted 380 deaths for Syria , that should be 860
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL755 I was under the impression they had been withdrawn from the RAF on the basis that they might hurt someone. Unlike USa and Russia
Rather looking forward to Nick Robinson’s next ‘own views’ on Twitter soon.
What I find astonishing is that the young EU Remainers who are concerned about their futures post Brexit are the same ones who campaign for more Muslim migrants to enter the UK, without a thought for how this will affect their future. They have to be total idiots not to realise that the impact of Brexit on their future is nothing compared to the massively adverse impact that more and more Muslims will have on it.
DT,
One of their main “arguments ” is the effect of Brexit on the economy and government finances, whereas unlimited immigration is good for both. At the end of the day it boils down to a hatred of Britain, pure and simple.
Young EU Remainers should be deported or dumped in France if they love the continentals so much. Antifa demonstrators should be rounded up and sold into slavery to whatever barbarous 3rd world country willing to buy them.:)
Looks like they need some help with the numbers.
This is from Thursday, but it is easy to see why it is repeated. In fact I am surprised they have not cleared the schedules all week.

Nigeria rejected British offer to rescue seized Chibok schoolgirls {theguardian.com – mar2017}
In a mission named Operation Turus, the RAF (UK Airforce) conducted air reconnaissance over northern Nigeria for several months, following the kidnapping of 276 girls from the town of Chibok in April 2014 (by Islamist militant group Boko Haram). “The girls were located in the first few weeks of the RAF mission,” a source involved in Operation Turus told the Observer. “We offered to rescue them, but the Nigerian government declined.”

“The girls were located in the first few weeks of the RAF mission,” a source involved in Operation Turus told the Observer. “We offered to rescue them, but the Nigerian government declined.”
The vast amount of progress made against Boko Haram wasn’t made by the Nigerians, but rather by a group of ageing white mercenaries under the remit of Executive Outcome (South African merc unit) who saw their contract cut when the current president took power in 2015. EO are a very small unit and they fully understand the black man. A quote from one of their majors sums it all:
“All governments with whom we’ve been associated , made promises , in fact lots of them. They always do, especially when the bottle is being passed around. But we’ve found out-sometimes to our disadvantage- that these good intentions are rarely kept. ”
And how did they defeat Boko Haram. Who in six months achieved more than the Nigerian army had managed in six years with only 75 men? in their own words:
“We command the night, this is something that has very rarely happened before in Nigeria in the past. When the sun went down, we left our secure bases and did our thing. It was apparently something for which BH was totally unprepared. “
Guess we wait for the books and journals to find out what happened. Brave men.
Beeb website virtuously informs us that the NHS needs more money.
Of course more money is the only solution. The population growing by hundreds of thousands every year has no effect on hospitals, as immigrants are super humanly ‘vibrant’ and never get sick. I wonder how much it costs to treat victims of terror attacks, gang violence or the life-long treatment required for children born with genetic defects engendered by first cousins marrying. My friend is a doctor in Birmingham and he has seen some appalling cases.
As always with the Beeb, there is no nuance, proper analysis or even the most perfunctory attempt at impartiality. Just like the sheep in Animal Farm bleating: “Four legs gooood! Two legs baaaaad!”
Need more money!
Trump is baaaaad!
Immigration goooood!
Beeb,
Everything about the BBC is superficial and trivial which I suppose reflects their minds.
I always listen to what is left of the Sunday Service on R4 when I eventually fall out of bed at about 8.30, and then switch off if Will Self is the ‘philosopher’ giving the POV lecture afterwards.
A fortnight ago it wasn’t the odious Self but Roger Scruton, the right(-thinking) philosopher and he was brilliant. I meant to post here that despite my normal tendency to shun anything by Al Beeb I would recommend all here to seek out the podcast. I didn’t listen last Sunday, I was on holiday, but Scruton was on today again, and he was brilliant, not least in suggesting that effectively we are increasingly granting privilege to incomes who observe few of the rules which have developed over centuries in mainly Christian Europe. When I’ve finished breakfast I’ll look to link the earlier podcast, if I haven’t choked on Marr.
Roger Scruton’s recent POV’s –

Film maker married to a black bloke, has mix raced kids, makes a film about an English girl and a muzzo bird – experimenting with putting hijabs on . Absolutely fantastic according to Sally Nugent – who in all fairness would benefit from full veil
White girl brown girl
BBC Breakfast letting us know that the Beeb have been at it again – yet another show aimed at the youth market telling us bigoted dumbos what to think
“White girl, brown girl” No, it’s not the latest title from the superannuated Rolling Stones, it’s a film by pleasantly spoken young lady Luned Tonderai “film maker” about Dewsbury
“..one of Britain’s most segregated towns…”
Sorry, I hadn’t realised we were living Jim Crow. The BBC line is consistently that there are no ‘no go’ areas in Britain. When did and how did we become Alabama in the 1950s or Soweto in the 1970s? Oh, I remember… it was Blairite mass immigration and multiculturalism policies.
Seems our Luned is married to a black guy and has mixed race children and she is rather bothered that more of us arn’t following suit. “Why not enough mixed race relationships?” Hmmm…?
Cue an awkward few minutes in the studio with the two easily manipulated diffident and stage struck teenaged girls (sorry, the willing participants in this bit of BBC social engineering) of the respective hues alluded to in the title (White girl brown girl).
One ponders for just a moment, given we’re looking for mixed race relationships, how come we don’t get to see white boy brown girl (Allah forbid) or perhaps if we’re looking to make a more gritty reality show about Dewsbury why not white girl thirteen brown minicab drivers? But I’m being deliberately provocative there. This is clearly supposed to be an exercise in what they call community cohesion.
Our new friends Fahara and Siobhan give us a touching scene where Siobhan tries on Fahara’s head scarf. Cute.
Then, no doubt in the interests of balance, we are told young Fahara did take off her head scarf – “but we don’t see that”
Oh dear. Not a 50:50 exercise in fairness and cross-culturalism, then.
The approved BBC message is as clear as day: The host British population must make all the cultural concessions and the guest population should be required to make none.
makes you want to puke doesn’t it? drip drip batshit crazy BBC
What time is the Saudi Royal Family broadcasting the Merry Christmas message to us this year ? Theresa May watching you talking about Eid al – bullshit made me feel sick
@AsIseeIt Not BBC it’s Channel4, White Kid Brown Kid, tmw
AsI,
Only a matter of time before the Rolling Stones’ ” Brown Sugar ” gets banned. Elton John ” Island Girl ” may go the same way.
It is a legal principle that nobody should be a judge in their own cause. The Beeb seem to work on the assumption that the opposite is true
Of course NHS chiefs will want more money; when has a publicly funded organisation ever said they do not need more money? Their entire article is based solely on the opinions of people who are judging their own cause.
Equally Nick Clegg has an EU pension so his opinion on it is highly suspect. And with any SJW issue they quote professional victims who think an outrageous offence has taken place, when the overwhelming majority of sane and decent people think the story is farcical. And of course with Trump they ask some rabid Democrat swamp-dweller to express his outrage.
What is the interview process to be a Beeb ‘journalist’? I guess you have to come dressed as a vagina holding a placard about public sector cuts. The interviewer then asks you to emote about something, marking applicants down for any signs of objectivity. I imagine references can only come from minorities and are concerned solely with how ‘compassionate’ the applicant is. Maybe to finish there is a team exercise where you all have to improvise a protest march about transgender transracial disability rights. Anyone who’s refuses to join hands doesn’t make the cut.
Gawd Andrew Marr actually lies and tries to twist things before our own eyes – Davies has completely blown him apart in the first few seconds of the interview on Brexit . We are checking the bill for £50bn yep who wouldn’t BBC ? We know you don’t count money you just take it of us and all sit round and go agh Lineker you have £3m , Chris Evans you have £2m , newsreader talentless chumps you have £200k each ad infinitum
Marr interrupts as Davis mentions there is a 60bn deficit (i.e we pay 260bn they give us 230bn) and tries to talk about Bavaria and BMW/Porsche – Marr doesn’t want to hear about that Marr – TOTALLY OWNED
Lock,
Andrew Marr is thick as shit. Contrast his ass-licking interview with the repulsive Starmer and his treatment of David Davis.
yes thought exactly the same Grant , then we had some bint singing ‘Don’t cry for me Argentina’ total farce of a programme
Sobering observation – https://www.steynonline.com/8063/the-coming-terror
The BBC would NEVER let Mark Steyn onto their outlets. He is way too good, has the popular culture figured out, is funny and knows what`s going on in Europe.
Like Scruton- a giant of contemporary culture, never miss what they`re saying.
When I saw the title of Judi Dench’s new movie I felt sure it was a joke to take the piss out of the box tickers who commission films for channel 4 and the BBC.
Alas no, “Victoria and Abdul” has actually been shot and finished, and will be at an empty cinema near you very shortly. All paid for by the UK tax payer.
The Times once had an interview with an irate young film maker in the UK who couldn’t get funding for his films. He felt it was because he didn’t tick the boxes for the various Guardian reading, Common Purpose qualified folk on various Quangos. He kindly detailed what the boards listed as requirements for their films. Yes, it was all the usual suspects, but he added something along the lines of: and don’t bother thinking you can submit a screenplay about 2 Muslim lesbians, setting up a vegan restaurant in Glasgow, because it’s been done, commissioned, and joined the other crap on the ‘no one wants to see this’ pile.
“The Times once had an interview with an irate young film maker in the UK who couldn’t get funding for his films.”
Does he mean funding from the lottery, BFI, that sort of thing?
I’m not an expert on the film industry, or even on films. I find it too hard to find entertaining films that don’t preach, or treat me like an idiot, but I don’t understand why the British film industry seems to be unable to operate as a business. My crude reasoning is this – unlike a performance of Hamlet on a stage, film has economies of scale. A film can be duplicated 1,000+ times and projected in 1,000+ cinemas simultaneously. It must be even easier now as it doesn’t have to be transferred to cumbersome 35mm or 70mm film.
We have excellent facilities and skills here, I understand, and they operate as businesses. Pinewood has almost doubled in size, and scores have been recorded here for years. So why can’t British films make money, subsidising the less commercial stuff from time to time as necessary? I know we’ve had a few successes, but my impression is not that many.
IMO, the answer is BBC and Ch4 attitudes, and directors like Ken Roach, producing ever-so-worthy, right-on, preachy, depressing lefty stuff that would change the world if only anybody bothered to turn up. Where are the David Leans?
Happy to be corrected by any film buffs out there.
How about a new category for this site. We could call is “Completely Bat-Sh1t crazy BBC”. An example of what the license fee pays for:-

The lead story:-
North Korea don announce say na true say di earthquake wey happen for di area na because of di nuclear test wey dem do.
North Korea say na hydrogen bomb dem test and e dey powerful pass even atomic bomb. Dem also talk say dem fit load am inside long-range missile.

United States never talk how dem feel on top dis latest test wey North Korea do.
I don’t know why people sneer at Pidgin its a widely spoken language like any other
..and some West African radio stations already broadcast in it.
We wouldn’t sneer at anyone speaking Welsh.
How many pidgin-speakers contribute to the running costs of the BBC?
What the hell do we gain from it?
Stew,
Perhaps you should direct that question to the educated black West Africans who sneer at it ! They see Pidgin as a sign of ignorance. Snobbery is alive and well in West Africa . Welsh is an ancient , indiginous language. Not really comparable with Pidgin.
We sneer at Leanne Wood – she is batshit crazy
Lock,
LOL !!! But that is not because she is Welsh !
Grant
I don’t think she speaks Welsh ?
taffman, Grant
She can’t speak Welsh. But as the clip reveals, she can’t speak English either.
My God, she is stupid. She says ” That is what has happened in Scotland. EVERYONE has got behind this particular project “.. Ignorant woman.
P.s. Yes I know this doesn’t sound all that different to an average BBC news bulletin being read by an average BBC presenter.
BTW We are told that ethnic Pak/Bangla are 100% British
So why would a BBC Feb 2017 prog refer to Pakistan/Bangladesh as “back home” ?
“Better to marry someone from the UK or back home? ”
Why have an Asian Network if they are all ‘British’?
My, is it real September already? You mean cos the blackberries? Trees turning terracotta?
Na, You can tell its Winter from one of the lead items on the BBC news web page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-41030635
“The NHS in England may suffer its worst winter in recent history if it does not receive an emergency bailout, hospital chiefs are warning.”
OMG!, erm exactly the same wording as last September’s headline, oh, and the September before that, ah yes, and the September before that ….etc
No doubt the BBC will be asking why UK doctors are amongst the highest paid in Europe, (only Belgium and Dutch docs get more), and why state run quangos pay themselves £400,000 each per annum.
I suspect the BBC will be all over this story, explaining how the NHS is now reasonably well funded, only slightly behind the French but well ahead of other EU health services such as the Spanish or Italian.
The BBC tell me that NHS executives are short of money.
Funnily enough, NHS executives will tell me that the BBC are as well.
So whiile both go running to the Russell Group VCs to get the research out to tell me that all of them are underpaid, and struggling with budgets? Maybe somebody will do the maths and tell me how much I`m paying these creeps/hour to bitch on about how hard life is.
Trump just gave £1million to the Texas appeal-out of his OWN pocket, as opposed to Hillary, Barak, Bill, the CNN fakirs, Bruce, Katy, Madge and Gaga etc.
Likewise Maggie paid for a wing of a Chelsea Hospital herself when she retired-as opposed to the likes of Benn and Milibands who prevented their beloved State getting into THEIR coffin to wrench the pennies out of their cold dead hands.
Any chance of OUR NHS, BBC, VCs and media moaning minnies doing the same for our crisis-led NHS?
Holding my breath….NOW!
cH,
When it comes to money, socialists are mean as “cats’ keech ” with their own money. Hypocrites.

Benefit claimants breakdown up to 2014. Eyeopening. Anyone asserting that the migrants (from all sources) make a ‘major contribution’ to the UK economy would be a blatant uninformed liar.

Apparently, the unelected socialist, Andrew Adonis (the man who rose without trace and was given a seat in the House of Lords by the Bliar/Brown junta), thinks BBC R4 is biased in favour of Brexit and that the Referendum vote can be overturned.
Can anyone suggest a legal remedy for this wretched specimen?
GC,
Capital punishment is illegal.
There may be – er, exceptions…
Interesting comment on Radio 4
The President of the US has been conducting sexual gymnastics with the girlfriend of a senior known Mafioso. He is planning to take the world to the brink of a nuclear world war, he is planning the invasion of Cuba, he is in secret communications via his son with officials in the Kremlin.
Sound unlikely? Well there are plenty of people prepared to believe all of this of Donald Trump, but all of these statement were not about him, but John F Kennedy !
The point was then made that the media hysteria is completely misplaced and that Trump in fact might not have been tough enough with North Korea.
An unusual report for the BBC, but then it wasn’t one of their correspondents but this was professor Niall Fergusson, who also said that people are fed up with globalism and multiculturalism and that the elites need to wake up to the fact.
Wonder if Niall Fergusson will now suffer the same fate on the BBc as his wife, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is also a heretic in the eyes of the BBC.
She renounced Islam and courageously built centers in Holland for women to escape the brutality of their Muslim husbands.
Her standing up to Muslims in Holland led to the murder of the film maker Theo van Gogh.
The BBC have celebrated her staggering courage by making her a person non grata. No woman of the year awards for a woman who actually tires to stop violence against women rather than just talking about it.
I think I understand what he’s hinting at…
Our boy in Berlin Damien McGuinness (think floppy-haired Christopher Isherwood wannabe) pops up on the BBC News Channel to tell us about the WW2 unexploded bomb that’s causing some disruption in Frankfurt. Our Damien is at pains to contextualise the seriousness of the situation “10 bomb disposal experts have been killed in recent years… unexploded bombs are discovered almost weekly… many of them dropped by the RAF” – Well, much as the BBC default reflex is to blame us for everything, let’s not forget, they started it. Am I right?
Why is this one proving so unusually disruptive, Damien?
“Authorities discovered many people had not evacuated as they were instructed – they’ve had to be moved by force, as it were”
That’s odd. I think I would have evacuated pretty damn quick. Innuendo intended. But aren’t the Germans rather well known for their tendency to obey orders – as it were, Damien?
“It seems there was a language issue”
Oh. I’ve got it now. It was the immigrant population that was not playing the role of the good law abiding Germans and doing as they were told. Why didn’t you say so, Damien? All this pussyfooting around. Funny isn’t it, how the BBC boys and girls are happy to name names when it’s the Brits at fault but remarkably coy when it comes to others.
As I see it wrote:

The intro to a certain film passes on much more information about who bombed whose granny, than any British hating Arse bending cock sucking ,sperm swallowing , child molesting bBC employee :
and if any cross dressing bBC twat disagrees then here is a quote from the fat bastard depicted above:
“Wenn auch nur ein feindliches Flugzeug unser Reichsgebiet überfliegt, will ich Meier heißen!”
if the bBC decided to remake the Battle of Britain:
The BBC has been a more than willing participant in the revisionist theories about our conduct in WW2 and is doIng the same job on it that the it has already done on on WW1.
Thanks to Black Adder we now know that WW1 was purely a toffs war and all our blokes signed up for was to kick a football about in the trenches.
Very little is ever said about an expansionist Germany which had to be stopped.
So we now have a history of WW2 which suggests that most serious war crimes were visited on Civilians during the bombing of Berlin by the RAF and that every Spitfire in Fighter Command was flown by Poles whilst the British pilots did sweet FA. Alan Turing achieved what he did because he liked fisting and not just because he had a sense of duty. In years to come we will also probably be told that the storming of Sword and Juno beach were lead by brave Captain Dan Snow and the Dambusters raid was led by Wing CMDR Chris “Ginger” Evans whos brave dog Trigger was run over prior to the raid by a CO2 and NOX polluting car.
If Corbyn gets to power with the likes of Naz Shah and sham Baroness Chakrabarty – we will probably also be told that the Holocaust was a case of justifiable homicide as well!
Very little is ever said about an expansionist Germany which had to be stopped.
Whilst I have exaggerated a little here. We have all seen how our World Class Broadcaster ignores inconvenient historical facts if it does not fit its narrative and as the years go by this will be all the easier to achieve.. The BBC is always willing to de-value the sacrifice of thousands of our airmen/sailors and soldiers if there is a “higher” political point to be made.
The BBC IS always keen to – eliminate national pride and any sense of integrity and has become a master at encouraging migration “celebrating” our differences whilst saying the opposite. They know if as a nation full of disparate beliefs and clashing cultures we will never regain an national cohesion and the more this continues the weaker as one nation we become.
We now have reached a time yet again where the globalists led by Germany have imported war into our very borders. (anyone notice a theme here) But this time instead of having state broadcaster which
which is loyal to its culture and society we have a “National Treasure Broadcaster” which is only loyal to those who have little regard for our society and culture.
Orwell wrote“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” And dont the BBC and their left friends know it.
Looks as if Michel Barnier is going to teach us ‘British’ a lesson ?……………………….
“teach the British people and others what leaving the EU means”.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41140564
I am sure that the BBC already has the script ready. Mr Barnier will certainly have approved it , he may even have written it
Hi taffman, as of now the BBC have this as their headline (Barnier to educate the UK on Brexit) on the BBC homepage, the BBC News homepage, the UK news section, the Political News section, and the Business News section.
They DON’T have it on their Europe News section.
Why?
It is a message from the BBC, pushing pro-EU and pro-Remain agendas, to the British people. That is why they don’t have the story in the Europe News section, and why they are going bat-shit crazy promoting it on the UK, News and Home page etc sections.
The BBC are anti-English, and anti-British. The head of the BBC should be taken out and shot for treason.
Barnier, why don’t you go and stick it where the sun don’t shine ?
How a State Broadcaster in Poland deals with islam –
Compare and contrast with the BBC.
I summarize the major trickery yesterday with R4Today vs Andrew Norfolk and the Times
His article on Times front page yesterday was a Sarah Champion quote
– Left ‘failing to confront truth of sex crimes’
+ 2 page full interview ‘I’d rather be called a racist than turn a blind eye to child abuse’
+ Times Editorial : “Truth Hurts” : “Rotherham: Leftist media organizations instinctively recast the story as one of Islamophobia”
+ It laid into the Guardian and called it incorrect.
(Bringing a Tweeter to say
“It’s not a fear of racism that drives Labour’s attitude to child sex – but the loss of male Muslim votes”)
So you think that R4Today would invite him on to discuss those stories
No instead they acted as if they are the PR dept of the Labour Party defending its reputation
#1 First they brought on the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to talk about the foster case
He claimed “2 incidents never happened, she didn’t have the cross removed from her, and she wasn’t prevented from eating bacon, but I know very little about the case.”
(strange thing to say , cos the court did accept those claims)
#2 So later at 8:45am they brought on Andrew Norfolk
And began with a hostile attitude
Their opening line : “This is islamophobia isn’t it ? …14 areas have no Muslim fosterers”
AN : “Actually we broke that story that 14 areas have only white fosterers”
R4 : “Well The TH Mayor just said that no cross was removed and she wasn’t prevented from eating bacon”
AN ” He also said he was not aware of the full facts and …”
R4 ” I’ll stop you there we’re out of time ”
(Next item was chit chat with their Newsnight mates about the sleeper train being redecorated.)
So the real issues of Labour inaction being justified on the excuse of stopping Islamophobia was buried
..and Andrew Norfolk’s reputation smeared.
The bbBC’s Mark Easton has knocked out a very biased article about why British people aren’t paying to visit Zimbabwe on holiday
Why don’t many British tourists visit Victoria Falls?
The Americans are coming back, both young backpackers and wealthy baby-boomers. Australians, Germans, French and Italians are beginning to arrive again too. The town is much busier. But where are the British?
“Britain is still a bit behind,” Mr Kennedy says. “I think the main reason is the colonial past. There is an element who say, ‘There is no way I am spending a dollar in a country that behaves like that, where X, Y or Z is in power,’ to which I say, ‘I am not your moral compass.'”
There you go, according to Easton, its all down to the British stiff upperlip. But then I am talking about the bBC which has no problem promoting all the ills of the former bread basket of Africa down to the British and climate change:
Zimbabwe country profile
“Once the bread basket of the region, since 2000 Zimbabwe has struggled to feed its own people due to severe droughts and the effects of a land reform programme which saw the seizure of white-owned farms redistributed to landless black Zimbabweans which led to sharp falls in production.”
Oh and bBC, Zimbabwe (Aka Rhodesia) has been independent since 1964 and not 1980:
“The struggle for independence, land and power runs throughout Zimbabwe’s history. Veteran President Robert Mugabe has dominated the country’s political scene since independence from Britain in 1980.”
Yes I know about the Lancaster House agreement, but it was a formality, the country still ran itself.
Pounce,
Easton is famously ignorant. You can visit the Falls on the Zambian side. A much safer country which is not anti-British. Visas are valid for both countries, so you can cross to Zimbabwe if you want.
Grant,
“Easton is famously ignorant. You can visit the Falls on the Zambian side.”
Which might be why Mark Easton says; “Most UK tourists visit what locals call Mosi-oa-Tunya (The Smoke That Thunders) from the Zambian side”.
Pounce,
Picking up on Zimbabwe, “redistributed to landless black Zimbabweans “. The land was stolen by Mugabe and given to his cronies not to poor Africans. His cronies were to ignorant and lazy to know how to farm it. So everything went to ratshit.
Granth ,
On my last tour of Germany, I used to visit the East of the country for work once a week, entailed driving to Munich , stop over at Bad Abling , drive to Rhinemain Airbase (Frankfurt airport) the next day and drive back on the third. One of my drivers (white soldier) was from Zimbabwe . lovely fellow and he would explain all the ills of the country. Things such when he went home on leave he would take no money and his family would buy everything for him, when he returned he would place the money they spent in a foreign bank for them. Often when dining out, people would hear his accent and on asking where he was from would ask about home. They all to the letter would express the loss of their home country. And yet, with so many countries claiming back their independence fro the mother country virtually all have reverted back to the stoneage due to tribal loyalties and an inability to make anything work and they have blamed whitey for all their ills.
Pounce,
Apart from Black African Lefties, who tend to be wealthy, all the black Africans I know say they wish the British had never gone. In Gambia, they still talk about Britain as the ” Mother Country “. Don’t expect the BBC to reflect any of this.
Pounce,
“Britain is still a bit behind,” Mr Kennedy says. “I think the main reason is the colonial past. There is an element who say, ‘There is no way I am spending a dollar in a country that behaves like that, where X, Y or Z is in power,’ to which I say, ‘I am not your moral compass.’”
“There you go, according to Easton, its all down to the British stiff upperlip.”
Erm, no. That’s according to Ross Kennedy. That’s the meaning of “Mr Kennedy says…”.
[Though where you got the “stiff upperlip” reference from is anybody’s guess]
This is what Mark Easton says:
“But in recent years, that flood [of British tourists] has become a trickle.
Why? Robert Mugabe.”
So, I’ve read the biggest piece of crap from the bBC about a bloke (And his gang) who tried to film a You tube stunt inside the National Portrait Gallery (Pretending to be robbers) which caused a mass stampede.
Jailed YouTuber: ‘Not proud’ of prank
A YouTuber jailed for his part in a prank on the public says he is “sorry if he frightened people”.
Daniel Jarvis, 27, is a member of the Trollstation YouTube channel, which has about a million subscribers.
In 2016, he and three others were jailed for a total of 72 weeks after pleading guilty to two counts of threatening behaviour causing fear of unlawful violence. They staged a fake robbery at London’s National Portrait Gallery in 2015. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Stephen Nolan on BBC Radio 5 live, Jarvis said: “I’m not proud. It wasn’t meant to be that extreme.
So the bBC interviews the bloke behind an incident and they try to whitewash his stupidity by telling half the story and by making him out to be a victim. Here’s how the day was reported by tiny kent on line:
“A Kent YouTube prankster who helped stage a fake art heist that caused a stampede at the National Portrait Gallery was jailed today. Daniel Jarvis, 27, of Gravesend, and other “Trollstation” pranksters caused a mass panic during the hoax on July 5 last year – coming just a week after the Tunisian beach massacre. Magistrates warned such “warped” stunts could cause fatalities in the panic. ..Visitors at the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square fled and some were trampled while one woman passed out. The group then moved on to Tate Britain, where they carried out a fake robbery and kidnapping.”
Here’s the video:
Now the bBC tries to claim this twat has expressed contrition, yet watching the bbC video, He has to be forced to say that. Why is the bBC going all out in which to repaint fucking idiots as victims and why is it trying to pass this off as news?
Pounce,
Beeboids have never seen a criminal or terrorist who they did not love.
Grant
I think the only criminals they don’t love are the “criminals” who don’t pay £145.50 a year for the privilege of watching their garbage.
Lobbie,
Good point !
Pounce,
“So the bBC interviews the bloke behind an incident and they try to whitewash his stupidity by telling half the story and by making him out to be a victim.”
“half the story. Really?
This is from the BBC report you linked to:
“In court, magistrates warned such “warped” stunts could lead to fatalities.
The prosecutor said the pranksters had caused a stampede in which people had been trampled and one person had fainted.
The prank was also criticised for its timing – just a week after the Tunisian beach massacre, in which 39 people were killed”
…”In March 2016, a fifth member of the channel was imprisoned following a bomb hoax.
Judge Snow said the men had caused ‘high levels of fear of violence’ and a ‘risk of death or injury’ during the stampede from the National Portrait Gallery, and sought to ‘humiliate’ the victims by ‘recording their terrified reactions to upload on to the internet’.”
“making him out to be a victim. Really?
“…yet watching the BBC video, He has to be forced to say that.”
So to summarise:
You read the BBC report, watched the BBC video, and came to the obvious conclusion that Daniel Jarvis was a “fucking idiot”.
…and then decided that this was absolute proof that the BBC were “going all out” to repaint Daniel Jarvis as a victim?
Following BBC hype about Pen Hadow and his historic cruise to the ‘unfrozen north’ why no coverage of his strangely untimely retreat two weeks later? It would appear that the BBC climate ‘experts’ have a very generous helping of egg on face.
Pen Hadow Hurrying South

Sadly for the BBC, a switch of location only results in a helping of curry to following the egg.
BBC Peddle Fake Claims About India Monsoon
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2017/09/02/bbc-peddle-fake-claims-about-india-monsoon/
At least they seem to be enjoying a varied diet … perhaps thanks to Nadiya?
Think Pen Hadow is just off the Isle of Wight know with polystyrene icebergs bobbing around him . Come in no.38 your time is up
We are being told the NHS needs another £200 million to get through this coming winter.
If the highly paid NHS managers managed to recover just 10% of the costs from treating non uk patients they would get this money they say they need.
Or
Why not get an outside firm to recover these costs for a percentage of the costs recovered.
PERHAPS “an outside firm” like Crapita would take the job on?
Away at the moment so having a break from MSM. On recommendation from this site I’m reading Douglas Murray’s The Strange Death of Europe. Only read 3 chapters and more common sense is in there than I’ve heard from the idiot’s who have been controiling this country for the last 20 years. It’s an absolute must read for anyone who cares about the culture of not just the UK but of European culture as a whole. Brilliantly researched and not just a populist rant. Please spread the word to anyone prepared to listen and if they don’t, tell them again until they bloody well do.
Synch – Agreed.
Got it ready for my hols end of month
Synch/Charlie/Lock,
A must read and must be done before it is banned and possession is made a criminal offence.
It already is banned in the local Smiths. I asked why they weren’t stocking a best-seller and manager couldn’t answer.
It has begun…
Charlie,
I boycotted Smith’s many years ago for reasons I cannot remember. I got my copy from Amazon, but only a matter of time before they ban it.
Yeh I did Amazon too Grant – going to read it by the pool in Vegas – I’ll leave it over there for the Yanks
Cheaper on ebay 🙂
I’m waiting for it in paperback.
Pres. Trump, good news (where’s jon sopel to cast a disparaging view and imply that the POTUS has mental health problems?) – may well cease trade with those who trade with N. Korea. As we saw with Japan in the fifties, sixties and seventies, they thought that they would dominate World Trade. Look at them now: roughly stagnant for a decade or more. They may have destroyed our BSA, Norton and Triumph et al. but they failed to ‘dominate’ World trade. Same with China if I’m not very much mistaken. They share the same aspirations –
“U.S. goods and services trade with China totaled an estimated $648.2 billion in 2016. Exports were $169.3 billion; imports were $478.9 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with China was $309.6 billion in 2016.
China is currently our largest goods trading partner with $578.6 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2016. Goods exports totaled $115.8 billion; goods imports totaled $462.8 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $347.0 billion in 2016.” Source:

Seems China is absolutely vulnerable where it hurts. If it happens, its got the makings of destroying much of China’s businesses whilst simultaneously developing US business to fill any gaps. Brilliant.
This may well be the trigger for taking sides. But what can we offer? The World will grovel at the feet of the US when the s*it hits the fan with N Korea. Let’s throw our planeless aircraft carrier into the pot………………
G,
I think if China has to choose between N. Korea and USA, they will choose USA. Russia will also have a say in the matter. I understand that they have already evacuated Russians from the border. Say what you like about Putin, he is not a pussycat !
Good post, G.
Jon Sopel or the BBC must have read your post above G as he turned up in the studio for the 10pm news! (Must be in the UK seeing his accountant regarding his ex pat tax status etc)
Had a go at Trump re N Korea and when is a time to talk instead of telling Kim what will happen to him and his nightmare country. Listening to Sopel I got the idea that the time to stop talking in his books would be after N Korea has dropped a few nukes on Guam and West Coast USA.
There again if that did happen then Sopel would be one of the first to be filling our screens telling us that any mentally stable president would have acted with a preemptive strike a lot sooner instead of talking….
I am sure the US military is more relaxed about the threat than Sopel and the BBC wailers. The key seems to be the launch vehicles for the ICBMs and I am sure every single one is targeted and tagged as I write. If not why not would be the question .
A pre emptive strike is looking inevitable. The only drawback is the artillery massed against the South . That is for the South Koreans and the Americans to decide.
Unless KIm is completely insane he will have to back down.
Countryfile : Country not Townie, definitely NOT London
So which freaking mayor will they have on in a few weeks ???
Guess !
A total wanker. What does he know about the countryside ?
So how come muzzo taxi drivers won’t take dogs in their cabs ? they have refused my 75 year old Mum and her dog -I told her to ring up and say I don’t want a muzzo driver
Lock13
I have heard of Moslem taxi drivers taking dogs to fights in their cars.
Dog fighting among people of Pakistani heritage has been on the increase for years and as with grooming gangs bugger all is being said and done about it.
It’s their culture innit.
A few years ago but no significant change
‘Twenty-six men, all of Pakistani origin and aged 18 to 42, were arrested after being found crammed into the back of a kitchen showroom store.
The men had been baying and cheering as two pit bull terriers, Elvis and Bullet, ripped into each other for more than two hours before police arrived.
Both dogs later died from their injuries and one dog was found stuffed into a cupboard along with more than £2,000 in cash.
The fight turned out to be the largest ever uncovered in the UK for more than 130 years and the ringleader Barakat Hussain and six others were receieved custodial sentences for up to six months in October 2007.
The gang included Intikab Hussain, Ummar Ahmad, Zahir Ahmed, Sohail Hussain, Zahoor Hussain and Waqquas Mughal.

Tears and sleepless nights ahead for alt bbc types – Just what is to become of the 17 buses of ISIS fighters stuck in the desert?
I mean they’ve been given free passage to link up with their pals by Hezbollah. “Oh the humanity!”
Looks like next election – a choice between, a dick, a twat and an arsehole.
Leave you to decide which is which.
So it’ll be less of a General Election, and more of a Genital Election.
The Sunday Times continues it’s unrelenting anti-Brexit coverage:-
About as funny as Marcus Brigstocke.
Yep – it’s another World, alternative reality and certainly not our planet.
EG: bbc World Service and a programme featuring, ‘Two empowered women from the two most influential newspapers in the World’.
Can you guess?
The Guardian and The Huffington Post – seriously.
Must mention this – if things weren’t dire enough, the bbc warns of a World shortage with increasing hardships, mafia style gangs and murder.
The item in question is ……. sand. Yes, sand of which China, Africa and Arabia (Arabia!) is desperately short. You could not make it up and you don’t have to, you’ve got the bbc for that.
Think you can have wrong type of sand for construction … will read story.
Where are the other 27 guests deciding what you get to eat and how much? The man holds an itemized bill for goods received and has found it to be unrealistic … could it be swapped round? UK restaurant with EU saying … I demand 50bn before I leave your establishment?
And you don’t normally have to contribute to the upkeep of the restaurant, pay in advance for your food, or subsidise the poorer guests.
Not a nice way to treat on of your best customers either? “I refuse to pay before I leave” is very different to “I am willing to pay what I owe”.
Today in 1939, Great Britain declared war on Germany.
Not mentioned by the BBC.
Little did we know, there would from the flames of WW2 rise a Fourth Reich.
Here is our declaration of war against Germany.
And today, Germany seeks reparations from us for leaving the EU!
Barnier does not understand our history. Neither does the BBC but hardly surprising as it is resolutely anti British. We respond very badly to threats. So if I were the EU negotiators I would stop making them .
We could just quit now . Build up our armed forces and ally with the Russians. First tank in Berlin wins the bottle of champagne.
Only joking I think.
I recently went round the Capitol building in Olympia, Washington State, USA. Our guide was a very pleasant gentleman called Dick. He showed us their Senate and Representatives chambers and explained their state system in a completely non- partisan way. He did mention a few times that ‘we’ or ‘you’ pay for these people so are entitled to know whatbthey are doing. At the end, having decided all the tourists were from ‘democratic ‘ countries’ he urged us to vote, to use our vote, that it was a precious thing to be able to elect our leaders, especially as many of his visitors sadly do not have that right. He then mentioned that Washington State legislators are paid $ 47,000 a year, the job is not regarded as full time, and they are expected to actually work elsewhere to earn their living !!
As he was saying all this I could not help comparing his descriptions with how the EU works.
No prizes for working out the preference of the bBBC, of course.
PS
The biased BBC must be apoplectic.
Trump’s response to the Texas floods is being well-regarded by all and sundry. He’s been down there twice, getting his hands a little dirty, and pushing Congress for additional funding. What some of us might call cutting the crap and acting like a President.
What ARE the beeboids going to do about it? Ha ha ha.
Sluff
I thought the same thing..not much mention…same with N Korea. Trump said he will ban trade with any countries that trade with N Korea..a nice non war approach…what do the BBC focus on..Nuclear threats from Trump .
On a different note this morning R4…why so many stories about Muslims and generally painting them as victims. When did you last hear a story about Christian oppression and killings – just a thought
Radio 4 news bulletin reports that the Police need more money. It would help them if they did not have to Police thought. If ‘victims’ of online ‘hate crime’ could just turn off their devices rather than calling the Police the cops could focus on catching real criminals.
Beeb,
I need more money too.
Was it policing all the protests Against Austerity? Policing carnivals with high criminal behaviour? Policing during terrorist attacks and after that has added to the police bill. How much did celebrating Eid cost the tax payer in police protection? The high increase of acid attacks.
Was it the rainbow police car advising us to no longer hate that caused the over run in police costs?
UK next? Doc’s warn AIDS TB and diseases eradicated generations ago brought in by migrants {express oct2015}
A DOCTOR working in German hospitals has revealed the horrifying chaos which could face the NHS if thousands of migrants from the Middle East manage to reach Britain – including the return of killer diseases eradicated generations ago.
The female anaesthetist said the German health service has been completely overwhelmed by the influx of Muslim asylum-seekers who are REFUSING to be treated by female medics.
– migrants who are receiving free healthcare turn it down due to religious sensibilities, demand special treatment but will they change their opinions/religious beliefs in the future?
– the reality is that inviting people into your country has consequences. The bigger issue is not being able to talk about these issues in a reasonable manner.
All join in and say, “The terrorists will not change us and we stand united.” ….
Police in Chain-Mail Armor on the Streets of Germany {gatesofvienna jun2017}
This is the latest trend in German apparel, at least among the police.
When I showed the above photo to the future Baron and told him it was a German police officer dressed to deal with a violent Muslim criminal, he asked me: “Is he wearing a burka to keep from offending Muslims in the neighborhood?”
I wish it were something so amusing. But no; I had to explain to him that the policeman was dressed in special chain-mail armor to confront a culture-enricher who had run amok with a meat cleaver. Such is Modern Multicultural Germany.
