MP wants details of anti-Brexit univ teachers. Decent folk deported on technicalities. Daily hate in press. Doesn't feel like my country now

LOL…..A BBC über liberal grand-dame journo now declaring his patriotic love for his lost country…..the country that he and his colleagues have spent their careers rubbishing and selling out to the EU and to the Islamists.
His claim that this is not the country it was, #duetoBrexit, is not new….note his condescending sneer at the voters who were too wilfully stupid and ignorant, too lazy to find out the truth….
“It’s fine for politicians to take that kind of approach, but for the British people to simply buy these things sight unseen, I’ve really found that quite disturbing.
“All my life, British voters seem to have been really sensible and balanced and it was as though during the debate – and I have to say it was both sides – people threw that balance away. It’s a different country now from what it was.”
That of course is the biggest lie of all…and a constant one that the BBC itelf broadcasts long and loud. The voters knew exactly what they were voting for….to leave the EU, single market and all.
I was born into a country populated mostly by white European people of a Christian heritage.
It doesn’t feel like my country any more either, and it’s largely due to complacent left wing twats like John Fidler Simpson. Thanks for nothing, pal.
We didn’t vote to leave the single market or the customs union. We voted to leave the EU. By joining the EEA/EFTA we leave, yes we leave, the EU. And a few years down the line we leave EEA/EFTA when a FTA is agreed, ;likely to take 5 to 7 years to achieve.
It was Gorbachov who said that the EU is the USSR in western clothes; how right he was..
I don’t need to find out ‘The truth’ about the EU, it has been kicking us in the teeth for the last forty years.
Every power grab which has been predicted the EU would make has been immediately and vehemently denied by them and yet has still eventually been made by them and usually be sneaking it in via the back door under the pretence of being something different.
Remember the attempt by the EU to turn itself into a de facto Single State by creating the EU Constitution? Remember what happened when that failed because it was rejected by countries which where obliged by their own Constitutions to hold Referenda on the issue because they recognised it for what it entailed, handing over their national sovereignty to the Brussels Eurocrats.
What was the EU’s response?
The Eurocrats rapidly withdrew the matter before any more countries could reject it, the wording was then shuffled around in a pretence of it being altered into something new. After that it was reinvented the blatant power grab and changed it from being the EU Constitution into being a supposed treaty.
They then labeled it The Lisbon Treaty so it could be forced down the throats of the unwilling people of the EU because, under it’s disguise as being just another Treaty it could be slimed through by being signed by the leaders of the EU Members without recourse to the inconvenient ordinary members of the public. Remember how Gordon Brown tried to sneak in and sign us up to it after all the other leaders had left in the hope nobody would notice him doing it.
And that is only one of the dishonest stunts the EU has pulled in their determination to force a single undemocratic Bureaucratic Dominated Single United States of Europe on the people of Europe, thereby destroying all the historic individual Countries of Europe and riding roughshod over them.
But don’t tell Simpson and the other clowns who think we are too stupid to see through the massive scam being run by the power grabbing Dictatorship in the Brussels Kremlin. They still believe we are so simple they can still try to pull the wool over our eyes.
Well they are wrong, completely wrong because we have seen right through their shoddy little confidence trick and are in the course of sending the disgusting scammers packing.
Great post AL, absolutely bang on the button.
And then there’s the European Court of Justice, increasing EU powers by stealth through its judgements and establishment of ‘case law’.
I wish sneering were a hate crime for then we could have these Beeb ‘journalists’ locked up. The hatred we ignorant and bigoted ‘Little Englanders’ are subjected to is beyond the pale.
If royalty such as Simpson came to where I live and listened for an English speaker he d have to wait a long time or be lucky. I do not accept labour globalisation or multiculturalism. We would need a new sort of government to organise mass deportations of foreigners who have no legal right to be in the uk after Brexit and subsequent to that.
Mr Simpson has spent his life wandering the globe as an al Beeb tourist and now benefits from a fat al Beeb pension .his comments hold no validity but he will never see that living so far up the moral high ground. In fact I’m surprised the altitude hasn’t killed him.
Traitors always feign patriotism in an attempt to advance their own personal agendas, repeating phrases such as “not in the nation’s interest” etc.
I’ve just had a look at Mr Simpon’s twitter feed. I actually feel dirty after reading it and my skin is crawling. It’s not that people hold different opinions to me – that is a good thing – but it’s that they don’t have any reasoned opinions at all – they just belch out smug, pious, holier than thou platitudes designed to make them feel good about themselves and to signal that virtue to others. Nobody is allowed to question the hive-mind.
What a stark contrast to the recent broadcast on LBC by Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg MP who politely and reasonably put forward his views and arguments.
I sometimes read the print edition of the BBC , the Guardian , and it’s like John fat face Simpson – just narrative . Not a reasoned argument , but like their so called comedies a long sneer at anyone who doesn’t agree with them .
“MP wants details of anti-Brexit univ teachers.”
John Simpson needs to stop repeating this lie. The MP wanted names of those teaching on Brexit, NOT their views. How would a university know that anyway? It’s just all a lie to support the meme that all educated people are against Brexit.
It’s about time somebody stood up to the amoral, tyrannical mob trying to reverse the leave vote.

Looking at wiki I never knew Simpson has spent his whole ‘working’ life living off taxpayers licence tax since 1970.
He went to private school and oxbridge before joining al Beeb in 1970. He got caught out by admitting being in a legal tax avoidance scheme to buy one of his houses in Britain a few years ago like a proper luvvie .
All this gives him the right to commentate about what lesser beings vote for in their immature under educated prejudice.
When Simpson dies the al Beeb flag – modelled on the Isis one – will be at half mast . He will receive an al Beeb state funeral and a documentary made by the same one who did a great job for another al Beeb saint – jimmy Saville.
Apparently he doesn’t recognise Blighty any more – neither do I . The difference is that his permissive attitude embodied in al Beeb has contributed to our downfall and loss of identity . We never had to get the Union Jack out for display now we do it to remind people what country they are in.
I really wish he would read these entries.
The irony is that Simpson seems not to notice the monoculturalism of the countries he has visited over and over again, courtesy of his BBC first class travel pass (that would be any country in the Middle East, for example, excluding Israel), and that they are far more in need of diversity, not to mention democracy and justice, than the UK.
But that’s the bbc double standard at work – bbc default is that this country is shit while reporting on countries that are immeasurably worse and ‘Asylum seeker stubs toe on uneven slab in Manchester’ equates to ‘ISIS kills, tortures, enslaves thousands in Mosul’.
Strange ITV News , just did an item on Trump without their normal hatespeak
It was about him signing emergency measures against opioid addiction.
A victim’s family said “where were these measure 4 years ago or 8 years ago”
…Yes who was in power there
..it was evident that half the people in the room were black.
Well you see it gets tricky. When a child has a falling out with adult and has a big sulk but the adult offers the child an ice cream. There lies the conflict of the modern news provider and lefty loon. Except that their sulk has been kept up for far longer than any normal child could or would want to sustain.

“…in “my country” a respected BBC news journalist would [not?] have dreamed of (and would have known the consequences of) editorialising like this.
Unless given the nod in one those oft forgotten corridor conversations BBC DGs seem to have.
‘He is the BBC’s World Affairs Editor. It says so on his Twitter profile, so it’s not really possible for Simpson to explain this away as just a personal account’
Apparently, it is. Even without the all-purpose cloak of Teflon conferred by ‘views my own’, which many do not find necessary, and with good reason.
“His job is to report the news around the world, not give his personal opinions on it.”
One can only presume Iain has not heard too much BBC editorial over the last decade.
Simpson says “It does not feel like my country now”.
But Simpson was explaining this morning on the orgy of smug self-congratulation which was Today’s 60th birthday bash that Britain was not his country in 1957 either. Apparently, the USA was light years ahead of Britain then and, as a young journalist visiting the USA for the first time, only his visa running out forced him to return to backward Britain. Of course, this was just a not too subtle attack on the hell-hole that is “Trump’s America”..
I doubt whether Simpson felt that Britain was his country at any time in the last 60 years.
He was asked to pontificate about what he thought wss the most significant world event in the last 60 years and did not even mention the fall of communism!!!. Maybe he hasn’t noticed.
I would agree – it doesn’t feel like my country anymore BUT for different reasons – strange that?
What are his reasons? Answers on a postcard.
Not having forelock-tugging peons accepting his every bent ‘news’ offering without question any more?
The Brexit vote burst the msm bubble but they – he- will never get it. For decades ordinary British people were not represented by the people they had to vote for. It was all a consensus and anyone right wing representing ordinary views about immigration was belittled and destroyed – until mr Farage.
Simpson and his type can never understand because they are no longer British. They are internationalist – something which probably really will cause the next big war.
