    For one brief moment I thought Ali-Baba-Brownstuff had seen the light: “On Monday night I decided to give up watching the BBC ten o’clock news. The voices I have depended on since childhood to tell me what was happening, and why, are no longer reliable.”

    Quite right Yas, join the club, attagirl.
    But hang on, what prompted this Damascene insight? She believes the beeb went too easy on AfD and too hard on mad Merkel!
    Proof if it were needed that Yasmin and her ilk are stark raving bonkers.
    Still, good news if she stops paying the extortion fee. One less!

      Hi Martel – I suspect she would only see the light if it shone out of her ass. I think she is foremost an egotist – working towards making herself seem important.

        Noticeable how all these ‘opinionated’ talking heads who like the sound of their own voices, (yet manage to weadle themselves on to the tele for a fee), have surnames that clearly indicate their heritage is not of this nation, so its of little relevance to me what they say and am certainly not interested in hearing their negative opinions on my country and its government – whoever is in power.

    You see men dominate in science/tech/engineering/maths at uni cos of some kind of bias
    …the reality the girls get better exam results so hoover up all the other subjects so men are left with these more difficult dirty, boring ones.
    “the only men who are good enough to get into university are men who are good at STEM.
    Women are good enough to go into non-STEM and STEM fields.”
    “the average gap in pay between men and women who do the same jobs is tiny or non-existent”
    Women hoover up most of the government jobs with their super-generous pensions
    “Meanwhile, Canadian men are far more likely than women to work in the private sector, in, to put it broadly, outdoor jobs.”

    “Efforts to get more males into fields that have become predominantly female are almost unheard of. Would it not be fair to try to shift more males into the humanities, nursing, office administration, psychology and other female-majority fields?” like primary teaching

    “Adolescent sexuality seems like an appropriate segue into an obvious subject. As a young boy, Cumberbatch was sent to an all-boys prep school, Brambletye in West Sussex, followed by five years at Harrow, an all-boys boarding school and an incubator for eight British prime ministers. In the U.K., this detail immediately fixes him in the public mind as a “posh boy,” a characterization he’s too polite to unpick as the lazy reduction it is, while acknowledging, nevertheless, that Harrow School was blessed with a theater superior to many in London.

    For Cumberbatch, boarding school was a wonderful place to grow up “because you have that complete experience of being a child,” he says. “You are not going to and from a place all the time, and I was very, very hungry for company. My mom and dad, poor them — I used to ask every Christmas and birthday for a brother or sister. That’s all I really wanted when I was growing up, because I was an only child.”

    Straight over to a ‘Special Correspondent’ with the most dreadful mournful emoting I have heard in a long time.
    Straight away the narrative is diversity, poverty stricken, blah blah blah. Neatly fitting in with the Corbyn narrative of poor social housing at the Labour conference today. What a co-incidence!
    But hang on. The evil Tory council had just spent errrr….. £90k per flat doing the building up!!! How many private sector house owners can afford that? How much would the Trots have spent on this social housing? And who lives on floor 21? A management consultant and an IT manager among others.
    So the left wing polemical narrative is totally undermined by their own evidence in the first 5 minutes.
    Absolutely dreadful reporting from the dreadful biased BBC.

      I just caught the last moments of the reportage. I thought the interviewer was going to breakdown and start wailing with grief. I don’t see the same tearful concern for the victims of the latest muslim terrorist atrocity. That would probably be considered too islamophobic. The search for “justice” is supposed to be at stake. It couldn’t be anything to do with maximising any fortcoming compensation payments, of course.

      The council spent £9 million refurbishing those “neglected” flats. That included wall insulation and cladding to meet the EU’s carbon emission targets. The wall insulation and cladding panels passed the EU’s safety tests, otherwise they would not have been used.

      The much better British Standard tests would have shown that in real life, when combined, the insulation and cladding were dangerous. However, since they passed the EU test, the BS test was not needed.

      That is the root of this tragedy. Our government is really in Brussels, and Westminster just acts as a middle man, handing down the laws agreed in Brussels. This is one of the main reasons we must leave the EU.

      Taffy – I dont think it is possible for the Tory party to get their act together now despite a few worthies such as Rees -Mogg etc.

      I think they were doomed as soon as the elected an undemocratic political underachiever such as May as their leader who promptly filled the cabinet with Remain supporters such as Rudd and Phil rather than those who wanted to carry out our democratically expressed will.

      The tragedy of it all as I see it is that at the same time these bastards (under the Moron) were also able to stiff the chances of the likes of Farage who could have turned UKIP into something truly great instead of a party more concerned with the price of fish and chips and infighting rather than changing the UK for the better.

      Instead we now we have a resurgent and anti British Labour party who could now well be elected because many of us are wondering around like political zombies wondering where to assign our vote for the best interests of the UK. Whilst the kids (high on the drug OJ) think that Uncle jeremy will right all wrongs and create a world of love and peace fit for dem kidz.

          Yes the Tory Conference could be critical and from it a winning party could emerge.
          Here is the dream. High drama.
          Conference passes a vote of no confidence in Treezer and her fellow remainers and appeasers. She resigns in scenes of humiliation thereby initiating the campaign for a new leader. Potential leaders will not wish her fate to be bestowed on them and will therefore consist of people who desire to serve Britain.
          The BBC will fail to understand and report what is going on and will be mocked in the social media.
          However, all of this will put the Corbinyte party out of the news whilst a revitalized Conservative will be heading for victory
          Dream on.

          Our negotiators can’t give them enough, 20 billion here, concessions there.

          It means nothing to the eu all this goodwill crap, they will take take take and give nothing back.

          We are in the strongest position yet we appear to be their poodles and eager to please them.

            Agreed losing the Appeaser is absolutely essential to any sort of successful Brexit outcome and even then with an unfavourable media it will be a long uphill climb to win any election.

            As to why Theresa acts in such a grovelling and servile fashion – It is because Theresa does not believe in brexit and therefore considers it is more important getting hugs and air kisses from Junker than carrying out the will of the British people. Fundamentally she is embarrassed at having to appear to negotiate our withdrawal and therefore at best is only negotiating in a half arsed way.

            Drunker and his chums know this and are probably quite enjoying seeing how far they can push her to humiliate herself (and in effect us) in her efforts to appear “reasonable”

            To be quite blunt in my uneducated opinion, anything less than a complete failure of negotiations with the EU would indicate to me that we have been sold out or surrendered. I am afraid hard though it may be, only if we revert to WTO rules could an sort of successful outcome be claimed.

            “Peace in our time” is totally in-achievable with these preening Euro Tossers.

              They might demand half a billion euros to finally let us go, and it wouldn’t surprise me if May agreed to it. But of course it will never go as far as that, because it appears that May & the Remainers in Government have absolutely no intention of ‘properly’ leaving.

              To me it just shows what a horribly sham ‘club’ we have been in the last 40 odd years. We’ve been fighting France historically pretty much for ever, and Germany for 100 years- interspersed with with periods of peace and allying against a common enemy. Once the EU finally crumbles I’m sure Germany and France will be at each others throats again. I hope, finally, by that time that we will have completely learned the lesson that appeasement doesn’t get you anywhere.

              They are not our friends that’s for sure. I’m a great fan of America, but it’s not always in our best interest to be their obsequious lackeys. And a lot of other anglo ex-commonwealth countries are bland, pc-infected and socialist leaning – where in the world should we go for decent trading partners & potential allies then?

    A friend found himself in a discussion, that turned political, with 2 acquaintances – apparently normal, intelligent, educated.
    He pointed out that Communism / Socialism / Marxism had never worked, anywhere, ever.
    They replied, ‘that’s cos it has to be worldwide to work.’
    I find that one of the most chilling statements I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine, a worldwide Soviet Union? Red China? Cambodia? Venezuela? North Korea!?
    One huge Gulag ruled over by a satanic Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot or Kim jong-un… in perpetuity, with no hope of salvation from within or without? The closest vison I can imagine to hell on earth.
    The interlocutors were apparently young-ish.
    So, our great Socialist education system, aided and abetted by the Biased Brainwashing Corporation, is working, and producing such dangerous dolts with short memories and no understanding of history; who will soon be voting Comrade Corbyn and his cadre into power, who can then continue where the great psychopaths of last century left off.

      My studies into the history of 20th century communism are staggering – so much history we never got taught at school, so many uncomfortable truths about socialism and its catastrophic effects on humanity have been hidden from us. When I see Chairman Corbyn and his cronies at their political rally in The People’s Democratic Republic of Brighton I am reminded of the history I’ve been reading – the blood-soaked trail of suffering, pain and misery that communism (the end-goal of all ‘true’ socialism) has wrought on the world. The millions upon millions slain in its name. It’s almost too much to take in – yet almost none of it was ever explained to me as young student.

      They say that one doesn’t really get an education until one leaves school. I tend to agree. I started seeking out my own education. I wanted to know the truth about far-off conflicts – Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Red China…and I discovered so many well-researched histories – real histories – I’d had no idea existed. Nobody is being taught this stuff any more. Certainly not the ignorant attention-seekers who importune for the likes of Momentum (the communist agitprop wing of the current Labour Party). With no informed understanding of the truly awful history of their favoured ideology, history suggests we might be doomed to make the same mistakes again.

      Then again, I can’t help suspecting that this has been the plan all along.

        While we are constantly deluged with films and documentaries about the evils of the ‘far-right’ National Socialism, there is no equivalent about the evils of the far-left.
        That has created a climate where the beebistan and other opinion formers only need to label any movement with the term ‘far right’ to create a knee-jerk, pavlovian fear in people, while the far-left get away with murder. Hence the msm’s current hysteria about ‘far-right’ movements in Europe and the US, while ignoring the real problems, to which the far-right are but a reaction.

      The ‘everyone must do it’ argument has been used in the UK about ‘comprehensive’ education, a single grammar school will cause that model to fail apparently.

      We are seeing this more and more. We have had ‘three shades of grey’ political parties for the last forty years – Junker would like to see that idea extended across the whole of the EU, Europe-wide parties, no funding for sceptics.

      Our universities ‘no platform’ and harbour ‘safe spaces’, i.e. only one view is allowed.

    Wonder if the BBC/Associate Press would like to replace “Grooming Gang” with “Sadistic Child Torture Gangs” so we think differently about these cases?

    Grooming – brush and clean the coat of (a horse, dog, or other animal). Prepare or train (someone) for a particular purpose or activity.

    He (Adil Khan/8 year sentence out in under 4 years) told the court: “They weren’t girls – they were women.”
    He (Abdul Aziz/9 years out in under 4 years) ferried the girls as far as Leeds and Bradford and was paid by the stream of men (who will never be arrested) who used the girls for sex, getting £40 for each introduction.

    “For the Many (Raped), Not the Few (Convicted)”
    “Enough(47 Girls Raped?) is Enough (1400 Girls Raped?)!”

    Rochdale child sex trafficker Adil Khan fights deportation {bbc.co.uk 17feb2016}
    “A member of child sex grooming gang who got a 15-year-old girl pregnant has claimed he is innocent as he fights deportation from the UK. Adil Khan, 46, maintained there was a “big story” behind his conviction for a series of child sex offences in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. … They have a seven-year-old son, and if his appeal fails he can lodge a further appeal against deportation on the grounds of a breach of his human rights, the right to a family life, under Article Eight of the Human Rights Act.”

      The old chestnut that Europe ‘needs’ immigration to counter falling birth rates. There is another way to increase the population: good old fashioned sex. Oh, and tax and benefit incentives for larger families. Much cheaper than benefits to millions of low-skilled, often unemployable third worlders and their often huge extended families.

        The Real Reason Why Eastern Europe Wants No Refugees: Conclusion {theglobalist.com 28sep2017}

        Despite new fault lines from nationalism and emigration, there is little sentiment in Eastern Europe to follow Britain and withdraw from the EU. Simply put, the east derives too many benefits from the EU– from free movement of labor, market access, investment and the inflow of foreign assistance.

        Stop killing 180,000 babies per year.

        Stop insisting that women have careers in occupations that they don’t want to do so that by the time they realise that they have no life, no husband and are too old to have a child.

        Immigration doesn’t just add the missing children it also brings in the parents and often the grandparents too. All of whom need housing and services now whereas a home-born child makes use of what we already have and gives us time to plan and resource for the future.

        Hi Emmanuel.

        The BBC are delighting in their own cleverness ,appearing to make fun of their own PC Principles ,but the
        the series has become painfully close to the Truth for most viewers.
        The perats think they’re being post-ironic , but they’re merely illustrating the weakness at the heart of their new Value System.

      I have an entirely different take on the programme! W1A is, in effect, a continuous sneer against ultra-PC, management-heavy media organisations, with the BBC a perfect exemplar. Contrary to W1A being PC, the whole point of the program is to pour scorn on PC attitudes, and in this succeeds quite well.

        I believe your take on the programme is just what they want you to think. BUT……..
        they still pay vastly inflated salaries to their hive members, they still propagandise for Liebour , they still pursue pensioners and single-mothers for the TV tax ,and they still pander to Effnik minorities and disrespect the native population, don’t they?

      A crack appearing in NATO, as it redeploys for civic unrest as Russia tests NATO’s borders. Interesting …

      Skyrocketing terror and crime following increased numbers of migrants and refugees from Islamic countries has seriously depleted police resources. Yet another EU country will see a decrease in its ability to fulfill international military obligations as a result of domestic instability.

      Rule of law in Denmark is imploding as the police run out of resources. An incident back in 2016 underscores this: A mother in downtown Copenhagen had to witness her son being beating to a pulp by masked Arab migrants. During this attack, the devastated mother called law enforcement, but due to a lack of resources, police could not respond in a timely manner. Her son was attacked because rumour had it that he was from the USA.

      In this way, the EU’s reckless migrant and refugee policy actually might end up paralyzing NATO, leaving a power vacuum on the global political scene which inevitably will be filled by big players such as Iran, Turkey, Russia, and China.

A black couple wanting to revamp their flat, no worries, then on screen up pops Gurmeet (who?), not sure if he was an architect / home stylist/whatever. He looked stylish enough in his long Nehru jacket and turban worn in an edgy way, but I did wonder if I’d slipped into an Asian channel by mistake. Perhaps West London now has a proliferation of ‘Gurmeets’, and I wonder if media training schools are now white free zones.

      Mean while in India … White British actresses told to leave Bollywood{telegraph mar2010}
      British actresses who appear in Bollywood films are being targeted in a hate campaign by one of India’s most feared political leaders. (Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena)

      Stars including Alice Patten, the daughter of Lord Patten of Barnes, and Hazel Crowney, a former model from Kent, have been accused of stealing jobs from local girls

      “The reason producers pick white girls is because a lot of them have better figures and are willing to expose them,” he said.
      “If you need a bikini shot, not many Indian girls are willing to turn up in a string bikini. But most white girls will not have an issue with that. Titillation has been an important part of Bollywood.”

      – See title of article ‘told to leave’ but in the article they have been set on by a hate campaign by a ‘party which inspires terror’, which is slightly different to the language ‘told to leave’.
      – Terrorised would be better word.

    Scottish Dawn and NS131, both aliases of neo-Nazi group National Action, to be banned under UK terror law

    This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Please refresh the page for the fullest version.

    Well, that sounds dreadful, I’m sure. But I can’t help thinking there really isn’t much market for that kind of thing up here, and wonder just how many are in that group that it merits breaking into every story that anyone may be reading on the News website.

    I strongly suspect it’s one man and his Rottweiler blown out of all proportion to attempt to make us believe they’re just as much as threat as the “tiny radicalised minority” of the millions who follow the Religion of Peace. I wonder what they’ve done to be tarred as the same kind of person who blows up teenage girls coming out of a concert? Put pork pies and sausage rolls in their children’s lunch box? Threatened to bring a rasher or two to the annual mosque barbecue? We may never be told – and if we are, can we believe it?
