    Thankfully, due to it being a young black man attacking an elderly white man it’s not a racist attack.

      and partially caused by MSM shouting about “hate crime, hate crime, don’t investigate Muslims that’s racist..keep looking at the far right they are the dangerous ones”

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/31/muslim-teacher-wins-case-after-being-dismissed-over-911-footage

    A Muslim teaching assistant, Suriyah Bi, 25, was dismissed after complaining about a teacher showing video of the 9/11 attacks. The teacher was discussing with a secondary class, Simon Armitage’s poem Out of the Blue, which was written for the fifth anniversary of 9/11 . The poem is part of the AQA GCSE syllabus

    Bi was head girl at Saltley School, which was implicated in the Trojan Horse affair and, according to the school, was offended by the footage because she was a Muslim.

    There are arguments about what children should be shown, but should a Muslim be allowed to challenge the showing of a video of a Muslim atrocity because it offends her?

    The Guardian also keeps quoting Bi as saying the Trojan Horse scandal did not occur, and “The letter was later discredited as a fake.”

    Unlike the government report from Peter Clarke which found (according to the BBC): the schools were offering “grossly intolerant” messages.

    He said the social media messages included “explicit homophobia; highly offensive comments about British service personnel; a stated ambition to increase segregation in the school; disparagement of strands of Islam; scepticism about the truth of reports of the murder of Lee Rigby and the Boston bombings; and a constant undercurrent of anti-western, anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment”.

      I thought you were going to say she was offended because the teacher had said ” OK Bi, tits out for the boys”. Now that Would be offensive. Showing a historical video hardly cuts the mustard as offensive material. Well it never used to.

    On the World Service they are talking about how Russia influenced the US election, how a foreign entity should not be allowed to do so.

    Throughout the run up to the election that foreign entity the BBC World Service was constantly spewing out hysterical anti Trump stuff, on a different level entirely to a few ads on Facebook. Their hypocrisy is astonishing.

        Even now – knowing what a collective bunch of tosspots these bedwetting liberals are – I am still amazed that not one of these unworldly morons is willing to give President Trump any credit for being one of the few Western democratic leaders (apart from Orban) who is making any sort of serious effort in trying to protect his people and not to import war into his country from the Middle East. They seem to live in some sort of “Harry Potter” world where the magic of candles and “lurv” is all you need to protect us from the next attack.

        with all these Jihadis coming “home” I suggest everyone buys shares in candles, teddies and flowers. After “our” Syrian returnees have decorated and fitted out their new council houses they should be ready to get back to work at around Ramadam 2018. Since terrorism only seems to be a part time profession maybe if they have kids they should be able to get family credit as well.

        Actually hang on I forgot! We actually dont need to worry about Islamic attacks anymore since Theresa has said ” Enough is enough” and more importantly Saint Brendan the Virtuous held his great Fools and snowflake tea party – I am sure they are all quaking in their boots. – Thatl show em!

        An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

        After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little …

        The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.

    Isn’t it fascinating how all of the elements are there yet our BBC still can’t quite join the dots.

    We hear about an Uzbek who drove for Uberistan (or vice versa) who has been in the country seven years – why? Are we not about to make millions unemployed with driverless cars?

    The BBC guest security expert tells us live on air that terror attacks “spike around Ramadan” – yet still despite this little bit of off-the-cuff heresy none of the obvious glaring concusions will be drawn.

    By the way, just me or are others a little put out by the BBC on-line head line shouting about “Five Argentine friends killed”

    The BBC here reduces the death count of at least eight and implies the greater importance of foreign visitors over locals.

    Other news just unearthed by Franky includes producer who founded The Great British Bake Off, Richard McKerrow, has claimed the show is “radically anti-Brexit”. This is because, he suggests, it challenges Britain’s innate racist instincts.

    Now David Davies tells us with a straight face: ‘…he expects the EU to get a more favourable deal than us’ and that ‘We wanted to meet on Tuesday but they couldn’t make it, so we said what about Wednesday but now it’s to be Friday – but that’s OK, we’ll still keep working…..’
    Really Dave? You don’t think you’re getting a comprehensive, belittling and deeply insulting run-around? You don’t think giving priority to total traitorous wankers like Clegg, Clarke and Adonis is a calculated wind-up? We are being shafted folks.
    And to add spice, an item on a burgeoning market for British milk and dairy products, currently exporting to the middle-east but with huge potential in China – who prefer to make one simple, straightforward deal with one country rather than 27 (which ought to ring a few bells) and although starting on a positive BBC-ish note, soon reverted to type when it was pointed out that the dairy industry ‘relied heavily on immigrant workers from eastern Europe’.
    Most modern dairy farms – the ones that can service orders from China for example, are almost entirely automated and require minimum staff – usually the farmer and his immediate family – but let’s not lose a chance to end on a negative, eh Beeb? Even when it’s a downright lie.

      I’m in an area surrounded by many, many farms where a lot of them are solely milk producers. I don’t know the exact figure but, over the last 20 years, many of those have had to give up due the too low price being paid for their produce by the retailers. The few that carry on are struggling and I can assure you that not one has ever employed immigrant workers! So, I think it’s garbage to suggest that the dairy industry relies heavily on immigrant workers.

      I think it’s good news if these producers have the possibility to sell for a decent price outside the EU.

      I currently pay £1 for a 4 pint bottle at the supermarket…that can’t be right 🙁

    I thought the ramifications of the Winestine phenomenon has reached new depths of depravity when I turned on the Today programme, R4 to hear Humpreys proclaim that “Lord Hague has developed a real passion for elephants”. “Christ Allmighty”, I thought “the House of Horniness has been indulging in groping, rape, child buggery etc. and now even bestiality is in play”. It turns out that the mighty lord has only developed a passion for “elephant conservation”.
    But wasn’t Trump’s state visit denounced on the grounds that the presence of this groper and denigrator of women would defile Our Sacred Mother of Parliaments, the Abode of the Great and the Very, Very Good.Trump’s alleged activities pale into insignificance when compared to the goings on in the House of Whores and Whoremongers.

    Transgender issues affect about 1 in 20,000. According to the learned profs.
    And, most occur at puberty when, in terms, the brain is undergoing reassignment, and there is a lot of danger allowing irreversible decisions to be concluded during that period.
    In other words, its pretty much a non issue, just made into an issue by the LGBT and general right-on leftmob ‘community’

      The LOUD,DEMANDING Labour verses the QUIET, SUBMISSIVE Conservatives.

      We can overcome this impasse! Let’s Move Forward! “Enough for the Many, Enough for the Few”.

      It seems to me that Labour have lost (democratically@40%) but act as though they have won and the Conservatives have won (democratically@42.4%) but are waiting to lose, rather than take power and getting on with it.

      So I suggest rather than this continuing this tiring political, we take this problem further a field. Venezuela is praised by some Labour Members as a socialist dream, along with Cuba, South Africa and China. So we do a ‘wealth transfer’ of people.

      All members of Labour Party with families (483,000 Labour Members March2017) can transfer to one of the countries that signs up for this great experiment. In response, people from the socialist countries who no longer want the socialist dream, because they are living it, can come to the UK – trying to keep it one for one as close as possible – same skill would be great but this won’t be completely possible.

      Why holiday in a socialist country – when you can live there!

      Russia Facebook thing is a Cherry Pick Fallacy also
      : Every political soundbite is an advert .. You can’t JUST COUNT tweets that Russia sends
      also Adverts have both quantity and quality and direction
      You can’t assume that Russias Tweets were all benefitting Trump, some benefitted Hillary
      by Quality I mean that 1 killer ad can be worth 100,000 normal ones
      A killer message might be – “Stew seems like a nice guy, but he kicked a puppy”
      or “Hillary seems dirty, but the FBI have found her clean”
      – Also PERSPECTIVE is importand ..see how this CNN guy says 150million tweets is a lot
      ,but one person might easily see 1,500 such messages per day so in a hundred days he sees 150K
      so 150 million is only what 1000 people see over 100 days
      – You also have to count all side not just cherry pick pro Russia
      : I’m guessing Amol’s BBC poured into America 500 times more pro Hillary messages than RT did pro Trump.

    The deaths will not be used to judge Muslims. Only the political left see deaths as being suitable for an agenda or else best not mentioned.

        The world is in shock that the Monteque is to quit albeebs favourite propaganda outlet . It seems to be something to do with fiscal differences between presenters .

        She is to be replaced by the voice of the Beehive – ms m Carney of Suffolk .

        A beeboid spokesperson said “ she was cheaper than a Muzzie”.

        I’m pleased to report that in accordance with al beeb s diversity strategy Ms Kearney attended a non state school like the rest of the presenters .

My instinct is to see how long they can run their traps before we get…Trump, (despite or due to) Brexit and His Popeness, the Chief Negotiating Helmsman for the European Union(Peace Be Upon It).

          I myself fell deep joy when two of the Toady Baubies get conflated-so imagine my happiness to hear that the BBC would be talking to Hillsborough activists (1-96) who were showing support to the Grenfell 1200…at least-and rising!
          Whether that was pouring booze onto their backs as they flee the enquiry venue or crushing them for tickets to see John Bishop is another matter…they were helping and the stories dovetail into BBC world…

    I have noticed a definite change of policy in the way the BBC reports terrorist acts perpetrated by Muslims in order to distance them from the violent nature of their religion.

    Everything now is reported as being connected in one way or another with the (So Called) Islamic State, which as the BBC and other left wing outlets have been lying has nothing to do with Islam.

    Hence the latest Jihadist Terror attack in New York was inspired of ISIS and therefore, according to the BBC, has nothing to do with Islam.

    In other words the BBC is denying reality and alleging that Salafist Islam is not Islam at all despite it being the religion of most of the Middle East, and especially followed by the Islamic clerics at Mecca.

    Now either you accept that these people are perhaps extreme, and iconoclastic in their beliefs, or you accept the view that the BBC knows more about Islam than people who have studied it all their lives and live and breath it !

    Why haven’t the BBC reported on this which has featured in all the papers?

    Home Office plan to give jihadis council houses and support part of ‘overdue’ strategy to combat terrorism
    Plans lambasted by right-wing commentators but analysts say comprehensive strategy urgently needed to deal with jihadis who cannot be jailed.

    Cannot be jailed? Of course they can be jailed, but the spineless appeaser doesn’t have the guts to change the law to make sure they are, preferring instead to give them preferential treatment.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/home-office-jihadis-council-houses-isis-support-fight-terrorism-strategy-operation-constrain-a8030321.html

    I expect that the reason the BBC has not reported this, is because even they know this is wrong, and they don’t want to make the bias so obvious even the average Joe notices it. Plus of course the reaction from reasonable people who the Independent calls ‘far right’.

      Thoughtful – I was vaguely hoping this story was going to be outed as ‘fake news’. But given that :

      The Home Office would not confirm details of Operation Constrain but said a review of national counter-terror strategy was ongoing.

      I’ll take that mealy mouthed reply as a confirmation. Sadly it now appears we are actually at the Swedish level idiocy when it comes to appeasement and a horribly feminised society.

      Bloody hell, how far has a nation lost its dignity over the span of the last 50 years or so, and the decline is still crazily accelerating. It’s not a case of lions led by donkeys anymore, rather sheep led by mercenary snakes.

        Thoughtful/Imnot

        Tory/Labour/Lib dems they are all political cowards who are desperately trying to keep a lid on things by appeasing these bastards as they know that none of them have the stomach to do what needs to be done. They are probably shit scared that the ex jihadis will organise something akin to the provos in the 1970s an 1980s – or worse.

        The longer the Government waits the more dangerous these problems will become. Would a radicalised Jihadi really respect a race that lies down before him? – I think the answer to that one is in the Koran. To maintain their privilege our cowardly politicians far prefer displaying a pretense of power rather than doing something practical to deal with the problem head on . I suppose they will just hope that things will blow up on someone elses watch. Unfortunately as the last war showed us sometimes you have to fight for peace.

        I suspect that at some point every one in this country will be aware of the full beneficence of the religion of peace. Unfortunately by that time the demographics will be such that for our culture to survive even partially intact civil war would probably be inevitable (as according to the Koran the only other option is abject surrender) I truly hope with all my heart that this does not happen but the later the politicians leave things before trying to tackle these problems the more likely civil conflict is.

        I suspect they will still be trying to blow smoke up our arses about integration until the bitter end. Unfortunately a population only integrates if there is a need or a desire to. Up until know they have not felt the need because our Government wants us to change instead!

        As Churchill said “storm clouds gathering over Europe” But the liberal media can see only sunshine.

        As for the BBC – who wants to talk about returning rapists and murderers to our streets – when there are far more important things to talk about such as Julia Hartly Brewers knee.

    Whilst out and about today at work I had the opportunity to pop into a medieval church in darkest Devon. I sat down for a minute or two and my eyes were drawn to the plaque on the wall commemorating those from this particular parish who gave their lives for England and Empire in the Great War. I felt both sad and humbled at the same time.

    I wonder what they would be thinking now if they could see our well fed, craven politicians trying to simultaneously sell off our country to the EU whilst also surrendering our culture to Islam.

    I thought that shabby little trio of Qusilings – Clarke, the boy Clegg and that twat Adonis were the absolute picture of sanctimony and insincerity when they went off to prostrate themselves at the feet of Barnier. All resplendent in their morning suits with poppies on display.

    Despite these patrician, hypocrites trying to reduce the poppy to little more than a fashion accessory. It is amazing that when you see normal people wearing it – it still sends a powerful message which reminds me that we still have a country and culture that is worth fighting for – England just needs to wake up!

      The next couple of decades are probably the last in which the poppy will have any significance. Within a generation or two, at best, the people who had ancestors fighting in WW1 and WW2 will be marginalised. The ancestors of those who will form the majority were elsewhere and certainly not fighting for the British Empire. The memories handed down in families will be entirely different. For them, WW1 will have as much cultural significance as the war between Japan and Russia last century has for us today. Even today, the usual suspects are pushing to erase our past by removing statues, renaming streets, rewriting history, etc. aping ISIS who try to destroy all evidence of a pre-Islamic past.

          Sometimes I just wonder if I am going mad. But generally when speaking to many people of my age (mid 50s )or older they all pretty much think the same way as we do.

          It only seems to be the youngsters who think everything in the garden of unrestricted immigration is rosy. But touching on what ID mentioned above and even taking out the equation the unbridled optimism of youth, the fact that the left have been busy airbrushing out much of our past means that every year there is less and less for them to learn from.

            I know that nothing stays the same and people often say that things were better than now – but the rapidity of the cultural changes in Blighty caused by a variety of mass immigration is a true shock to our system. ( sorry about long sentence) .
            Our memory is being damaged by this and thank god we were given at least a slight chance through brexit to stop the rot .

            The problem is that once these groups achieve critical voting mass – like the Islamic enemy – our chances of saving Blighty diminish .

              You are right nothing stays the same . But our history and shared values have slowly evolved and run like a connecting spine through our history lending a sense of continuity and identity.

              Whilst we have always had immigration. On the whole, those who have wanted to come here have generally wanted to integrate, and have come in small enough numbers to make this possible and have therefore absorbed some sense of shared identity from us – skin colour is immaterial.

              However as you point out we now have a demographic timebomb ticking and as these communities hailing from Pakistan/middle east and North Africa an do not appear to wish to integrate and generally appear to look down on us kaffirs – then the slow process of integration will be stillborn.

              This on its own would be bad enough but we have a Government and media which do not want to tell us the truth. As well as trying to change history they now appear to be trying to change logic and common sense
